Travel startups should stand on their own two feet, not seek state help
The annual CES extravaganza in Las Vegas has hit the headlines for reasons other than the usual dizzying array of gadgets and other digital toys.
In the midst of all the gushing over self-drive cars and Internet Of Things-led services for the home and offices, is an arguably more fundamental problem around the business of it all.
The event's organiser and president of the Consumer Technology Association, Gary Shapiro, says the British government has shown a lack of support for startups attending the tech get-together.
Many new businesses, including travel startups, go to the Nevada playground to show off their hardware or web service, in a bid to attract the attention of financial backers or retailers, as well as journalists.
Shapiro says many countries are sending more delegates each year under official designations, as well as official state-backed startup organisations setting up shop at the event for the week and hosting networking functions.
This, according to Shapiro, "is a source of embarrassment".
The comments inevitably triggered much hand-wringing from UK-based startups such as AdYouLike that have bemoaned how the state supports startups initiatives such as the famed "Silicon Roundabout" area in London but have done little to back newbies in other areas.
Others are more direct privately, saying that the UK government's apparent lack of interest in CES (a minister will attend for a few hours on one day) is perhaps indicative of a wider attitude to supporting startups.
In contrast, Momondo Group CEO Hugo Burge says specifically about CES that he finds it "bizarre that my fellow entrepreneurs are bemoaning a lack of government support for UK startups at CES, given that in my experience such events don't see a lot of actual business done".
Such events "shouldn't be a priority for policy-makers", he adds.
Burge argues that government officials should focus their efforts on creating an environment to give founders of startups the "best possible chance to set-up and grow their business".
He adds:
"This is especially material given the post-Brexit, post-US election changes to the business landscape that we can assume are coming.
"Measures which contribute towards this, such as lower tax rates or making sure the next generation of workers is properly skilled and that talent can be easily accessed, are incomparably more valuable."
Interestingly, Burge goes further, claiming that entrepreneurship is "defined by a willingness to stand on one's own two feet", rather than an expectation or desire to get backing from the state.
"In my 20 years, I haven't expected, nor sought out, government support in building the technology businesses I've been involved in.
"Entrepreneurship is about doing things your own way, being proactive, rolling up your sleeves and executing like hell based on a measured judgement of the risks involved."

The legend says that bungee jumping first appeared on the Pentecost Island in the South Pacific. During the Second World War the westerners came to this island for the first time and discovered this people and their custom of bungee jumping. According to this legend, one of the natives, Tamalie, was abusing his wife, so she decided to run away. She climbed a tall tree to hide, but he found her and climbed after her. While he was climbing, she tied up lianas around her ankles and in the moment Tamalie tried to catch her, she jumped from the tree. Tamalie jumped after her, hit the ground and died.
From that day, men in the village started practicing jumping with lianas so women couldn't outwit men ever again. So they built 28-meter high tower for jumping. Before jump, every man has ritual bath and then climbs a tower. Then his wife is brought to tower where she has to listen husband's complaints in front of whole village. After speech, man has to jump, head down, to proof his manhood. The tradition has retained until today and has become a touristic attraction. The western world hasn't discovered this custom until 1955. from the article of Irving i Electa Johnson in National Geographic magazine.

"If it wasn't for vinyl, I wouldn't be a songwriter."
"Sundays were my father's day off.
It was a day of yard work, Bears games, and music.
The record player sat in the corner of the room.
It was one of my father's prized possessions.
The wooden case stood about as tall as me, and next to it, my dad's favorite albums.
His small collection of records next to the player was nothing compared to his workroom, which had shelves upon shelves of albums.
From Snoopy And His Friends by The Royal Guardsmen to Dark Side Of The Moon. He had it all.
At some point during any particular Sunday, the TV would go off, and my dad would make his way over to the record player to look for something to play. I was always drawn to music.
I always wanted to know who he was going to play and why.
He would tell me stories about when he first heard a particular song or record.
I always wanted to know more.
It was the sound of the player turning on. The crackle. Who didn't love that crackle? That was part of the vinyl experience. My dad would choose the record he wanted to hear. Most of the time it was prefaced with a backstory about the band or the song.
Then, there were "those nights…"
My mother worked at a hospital at night.
My dad would get home from work and we would eat dinner and the night would settle down.
With two older sisters and a younger brother, these moments were rare, but the most special.
My dad would turn off the lights, and we would sit, and listen to music.
Cat Stevens, Peter Paul and Mary, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, etc…
It was always a surprise.
Then one evening, my dad played me the record that changed my life,
Tea For The Tillerman.
My dad pulled out this record.
This record with a cover that had children climbing a tree.
This record with a man sitting at a table drinking tea.
This record with a woman on a mountain top with lightning overhead…
What was this?
He handed me the album. I stared at it. I was mesmerized.
Vinyl was an experience!
The plastic covering. The artwork.
It was being able to hold this thing in front of your face and wonder what was inside.
What made this particular record special to me, were the lyrics.
They were right there on the back, with a photo of Cat Stevens right smack dab in the middle.
Then… The crackle… The pin dropped.
"Where Do The Children Play" started to drift out of the speakers.
I was reading along.
"Hard Headed Woman," "Wild World," "Sad Lisa…"
It just played and played, and I read along and listened.
Some of these songs I had heard before.
When I was younger, my dad would every so often bring out his Hohner guitar, and play some of his favorites.
This was also my first experience with an acoustic guitar.
I remember seeing my dad play for the first time in our living room and thinking he was a rock star.
The album was finishing up.
The song "Father and Son" began to play.
My dad told me it was one if his favorites, and he started to explain the story behind the song.
A son leaving home.
I remember being sad for a moment.
The music was truly moving me in a way I hadn't felt before.
I became inspired. I wanted to hear it again, and again…
Vinyl is how I fell in love with music.
Vinyl is why I started playing music.
Vinyl is why I started writing music.
To this day, I still love those records."

Well, this is it: I've finally decided to start reposting my old "Alexx Shorts" G.I. Joe reviews. They're the reviews that lead to what eventually became this blog! I'll be posting them in straight copy-and-paste format, separating them with bold dotted lines so you know where they begin and end, and then I'll post some final thoughts on what I think of the figure currently.
For those unfamiliar: I used to take random pictures here and there, but by the time the Rise of Cobra toys came out, I was getting annoying with how much people had been bashing the figures which were clearly better than the previous 25th Anniversary offerings. I set out to show people how awesome they were, and things went from there, forming into "Alexx Shorts", named so because I thought I was going to keep to a short format with a few pictures. I did not do that.
And yet: No Slaughter!
Welcome friends, to a mysterious place where anything is possible, and the least expected outcome is always the result! Here you can find a man who can break 2x4s on his face, or a man that is composed of two of another man! Where else could you find one with a stare so intense that it tears the very fabric of reality? Or perhaps you'd rather see Techno-Vipers; I hear they're pretty mysterious.
Then again, maybe I can just review some toys! That usually hits the spot. So here we have the Slaughter's Marauders 7-pack, one of two exclusive sets to Big Bad Toy Store. This pack focuses on four figures with the classic Slaughter's Marauders color scheme, of which Barbecue, Low-Light, and Spirit are veterans (Falcon might have been thrown in to fix his...unfortunate 25th figure). The colors this time around are a bit better than the originals, I think. The other three figures in the pack are some of Slaughter's other men: The Renegades! So technically this isn't totally a Slaughter's Marauders pack, but they're all Slaughter related, and we can all agree that everyone loves a little Slaughter (it has laughter in it, after all).
This one is gona be a BIG one, so lets just hop right in, shall we? I'll start with the Marauders:
Meet Barbecue and his accessories! I'm not gona lie to ya - I started with him 'cause he's kinda boring. Only kinda, though. You'll notice that the arms and legs on this one are different from the orange original, and that's 'cause he's now using the AWESOME arms and legs of the new Airtight! Airtight's new arms and hands are PERFECT, and can hold anything...which means that Barbecue is ready for whatever it is you want 'em to do.
Honestly, I never found much use for the guy, though I like the individual parts. The problem with him is that his new parts are ripe for action, but the character just...isn't. Maybe it's just me.
That was the first thing I wanted him to do: kick some ass! He's just not gona do that; he stops fires.
So, in the long run, I was messing with his parts:
First, in case you're curious; there's the grey parts on him. Next, I was trying to find someplace where his head matched:
Nothing amazing until I mixed within the pack:
That was just...messin'. However I did get this with a Steel Brigade head:
Jungle Beachhead, maybe? What I settled on was this, though:
Low-Light's body, Barbecue's hands and head, Spirit's harness. Personally, I love 'em and I'm keeping him that way! 'Course that may be an indication about what I'm doing with the other figures...but you'll see. Basically, I felt that barbecue was great for who he was, but I'm not excited about the character as much as I am about his parts, so: Fodder! Good fodder too, so I wouldn't consider him a low point in the set.
Moving on!
Falcon! The young pup who screws up in the old animated G.I. Joe movie. I don't have much nostalgia for the movie, personally, so I can only comment in the fact that I liked the original figure! He didn't strike me as the kinda guy he was in the movie, so I considered him a lot cooler when I was a kid. 'Course I didn't actually have the figure - my friend did - so I may have added more to the guy just 'cause I didn't have him. Who knows! Anyway, this one seems to look well enough like Falcon without looking like Flint...but it's a tough sell for most, I think. Unless you're big into Joe, this seriously looks like another interpretation of Flint. The original figure is very plain, but in a good way...it's just that no one can seem to pin down what his face should look like.
Er...for instance. What the heck is going on here? I guess I can sort of see how they're both trying for the same thing, but the 25th version should have tried a little harder to look like...a face, I guess. Less like butter and more like a face. In any case, I wouldn't necessarily say that either is much like the original...but like I said, the original is such a plain guy that there is very little in the way of features to replicate.
So what I wanted to try next was to get 25th Falcon's stuff off to mix into the new one...but his harness doesn't unsnap.
Voila! I think he looks pretty good, and I've kept him that way. 'Course I do still like the accessories he comes with; that auto shotgun and the grenade launcher. Well, actually the grenade launcher falls apart easily, so that ain't great. Still, he's basic and I like him. Funny part about him is that he's using a mix of TWO of the same guy: Dusty! His main body is 25th Dusty, and his arms and legs are PoC Dusty! Anyway, the 25th Dusty was okay, but I LOVED PoC Dusty, so in the long run I'd say he's a good mix of parts! Maybe not great for mixing, but I think he works well enough.
I think this is a good time to make up for my Low-Light problems in his last review. As you can see, we are getting the same figure with a different paint scheme, and I like it! Just not as much as the regular figure. That's GOOD, though! 'Cause that means I get those awesome parts in different colors. Still, lets look at him as Low-Light first:
Give him a different rifle and he poses like a dream! I should have tried harder with his original review. Basically it's an awesome figure with a great paint job; I like him and if you like the scheme then there's no reason not to keep him as Low-Light.
...unless you're like me! I'm perfectly happy with the normal Low-Light, and I just friggin' LOVE the body when the gear is gone:
I dunno what it is about the big arms; it looks fantastic. You can see also that it just about works like that alone - his face is friggin' TERMINATOR or something. Still, as you already saw above, I made good use of him! Only thing I'm not big on with this mold are his hands; they're serviceable, but the Airtight hands (ones on Barbecue) are GREAT, so I switched 'em.
This is a fine figure to add, and though I swapped him right away, I think he is great as-is, as well. Nice colors, great accessories (though he could have used a knife for his sheath, but oh well).
Alright, lets keep it rolling!
Spirit again! Oh man. He's looking slightly upward this time around, but he's still great. I like the colors here, and they work for just Spirit by himself, so he doesn't even have to be a Marauders version, really. He's so good that I can't say if one is better than the other.
The tattoo along with the overall look is perfect; just as perfect as the TRU version. Only thing I would change is the weapon...it's hilarious, but I could have easily taken a bow or a crossbow over an arrow-rifle. STILL...I mean, it's an arrow-rifle, so I can't hate it. I'm always up for something funny! Only problem here is the rifle grip, which is almost always impossible for anyone to hold realistically.
Anyway; just for kicks:
Gear swap. I don't think it's better one way or the other; just great gear on great figures. I did find one thing better, though!
Maybe you don't agree, but I really like this look! The harness went to the new guy I built, so I tried Low-Light's coat on Spirit and it looks awesome! I'ma keep him this way, I think.
Now, because this is how I do:
The Marauders are left in the dust - that's 'cause it's Renegades time!
I've never had any of the Renegades, though when I found out about them I thought they were cool. All hardcore suckas with a bone to pick with...oh heck, I dunno. One is a former Cobra, one is a circus guy (and a friggin' international agent), and one is TOO MEAN FOR FOOTBALL! Grrr! What we've got here is a sort of...homage to them in a way. Mercer may be right there, but the other two are sorta based on the originals more than simply recreating them. Personally, I'm a fan of redos! So many of the 25th line just worked to recreate what we already had, while I wanted to see what they could come up with to update them. These figures update a little...and do a little of just plain changing. Anyway, lets start with RED DOG!
Soooo....this is Red Dog! This was also Red Dog. Now, some older figures were molded in such a way that, while they were the same height as the rest, they still LOOKED like they were supposed to be bigger. Road Pig is a good example. 'Course the head almost always ended up looking kinda fat on a thinner body, but you could tell what they were going for. This, however...well his original figure didn't look like it was supposed to be huge. I get what they were going for here: he used to play football, so they made him huge! Sadly, I've just about had it with this mold. That, and when you look at the old figure it just looks like this guy has gained some SERIOUS weight.
Yeah, it's supposed to be a muscle body, but...it's so huge and barely useable. The body can't hold weapons very well at all, and the pistol they gave him was THE worst choice - he can't hold it in any realistic position. The football is a cool touch, but it's not saving the guy. Overall, when I look at the original Renegades, I'd say I would have looked forward to how this guy came out...and this one disappoints me. The original looks like it has a lot of potential! This one just doesn't inspire me at all. I guess he's here to complete the trio, but I wish it carried over the spirit of the original figure - and I never even had the original!
For me, this was the worst in the set. I just can't get much out of that body; especially those arms. I wish they would have used the arms from RoC Heavy Duty - those were for a big frame, but they WORKED. He could hold anything that anyone else could hold. This body is a 25th body and it SHOWS. On top of that, I just don't think the big body was a good choice.
Okay, who's next?
Ah, Mercer! They pretty much tried to recreate the original here, and I think it works! He's cleverly using parts from the current Viper as well as the cool vest from the PoC Alley Viper.
It is a really cool look for a guy that was previously a Cobra. I love the matching parts, and I like that he still looks a little slap-together in his clothes (though I would have liked the one glove look of the original for a real miss-matched look). This guy got the best accessories, too (at least, as far as I could tell with what the filecards say). They gave him his Viper rifle - cool - and a shotgun and a silenced pistol to mimic the monster he carried with his original figure. Also, he's got the same knife that the Alley Viper has, though his hands are a little too big to really make use of it.
One thing about this guy is that he's been kinda odd, over the years. There's this look, then there's the 90's look. As I've said, I do prefer that they make figures kinda updated, though I do love a good homage. This is straight up classic Mercer, though I do wish the 90's would get a nod from time to time. I'm kinda afraid that 90's guy is done for - I mean, his filecard has a different real name, so some even say it's a different guy who defected from Cobra! Personally I like seeing it as the same guy, and this new figure is perfect for how he looked in the past....but I doubt we'll ever see a homage to the 90's guy.
I didn't want this guy to pay homage to the 90's one, but I can't help but bring your attention to it. Since Mercer hasn't been made in the new line yet, it's only fair to make his classic look, but I do hope they revisit him again sometime!
So in the long run I think Mercer is cool, and certainly a stand-out figure in the set. He's unique and...well he wears earrings, and if you watched the animated movie you know he TOTALLY spits on scorpions just to hear 'em squeal, so he's got to be up there with the Greats of 80's Badasses. I guess I'm happy to have him as himself because I've heard so much about him, and I think it's a great idea for a character!
Okay, final stretch!
I love this guy! It's hard to say why, really. First off, his original is different only in that he had a moustache. So really, when you've got facial hair like that, he could look like anything under it. I don't have the original figure, but the head on this new one seems like he's different anyway. I mean, some folks look way different when you remove the facial hair, but this guy somehow looks...I don't know. Like a different dude.
...but I LOVE it! The headsculpt is friggin' fantastic, and he looks like a badass. I think they should have used the legs from Red Dog on here to better mimic his kneepads from the original, but these legs work okay. Only problem with them is that they don't straighten out - they're pretty much bent all the time. Still, since this guy is supposed to be an acrobat, it kinda feels right to have him looking like he's ready to jump at all times. Speaking of acrobat; the arms work so well with him, too! I dunno what it is, but the parts use all around just works for this guy.
The harness is another story:
It doesn't work. For one: his pistol is directly in his face. Second: it's facing to the right, so his right hand has to go for it, but he's already got a holster on his right leg! It's just awkward for him to get it. From the top (near his filecard pic) you can see that I pulled the holster off (didn't even have to pull hard) so I'm planning on seeing if I can glue it in lower. We'll see.
Without the pistol in the holster, though, it's easy to ignore! Like I said: I love this guy!
I just set him up and he takes a good pic! I was gona mention that he uses the Recondo body and that it might get in the way, but his head is molded in such a way that it doesn't bother me at all; he's not looking down anywhere near as much as Recondo. Recondo's chin is touching his chest at all times, just about, but Taurus is lookin' great. Also, if you're tied to his sword from the animated movie, you can use the sword from the Dreadnok's pack:
Last thing I love about him is why he was added to the Joes: the filecard says he worked undercover for an international police organization...but that crap don't matter to G.I. Joe. No, what impressed them?
Breaking 2x4s on his FACE. That's directly how the filecard reads! The feat of breakin' boards on his face "deeply impressed" the top brass. It's like they were out scouting for soldiers all day, and the last guy is breaking boards on his face and one of the top brass is like: "OH MAN! We got to have him - please?? Come on! We have so many good soldiers already, just give me ONE guy that can break boards on his face! We NEED this one!"
OKAY! All done! Overall I'd say they made more good choices than bad. Barbecue can't help being boring, but they really tried to spice him up with good limbs, and I'm glad for that. Red Dog was my only real disappointment: the rest are either serviceable or useable for parts in multiple ways. I do not regret this pack! Fine color choices, great figures, and good accessory choices. I wouldn't call it a must-buy, but it's certainly not a pack that you should stay away from.
Alright, one final "joke."
Good night everybody!
I had to really dig these guys out to find out what I think about them now, but most of them are parts! Save for the Renegades, who I still like (save for Red Dog, on which I still agree with Past Alexx).
It's funny; you'd think "most of them are parts" means I wasn't happy with the set, but all the figures were pretty solid. If you had none of them before, then you'd be getting a lot of awesome, well done figures (except for Red Dog, that poor bastard). I have no idea if you'd still be able to find this set all together, though, I don't think that's important anymore. There's a good chance you could find any of these by themselves nowadays, and hopefully nobody has marked them with a high price tag. They're nice, but not THAT nice. I certainly didn't regret getting the set, especially at the height of my Joe customizing days. I was happy to get good parts from good figures.
If I were to unload Joes, I'd probably still keep the Renegades and get rid of the others...but they're wrapped up as other characters now, so that's that!

POSTED BY Coley Ward ON 5:19 pm, July 13, 2006 - POSTED IN News reel
The Reds are going for broke. Earlier in the week they traded for "Everyday" Eddie Guardado, to compete for the team's closer's job. Today they traded for more relief help, acquiring Gary Majewski and Bill Bray. In exchange, they gave up big-swingin' Austin Kearns.
Kearns, along with Felipe Lopez, is headed to the Washington Nationals, a team assembled by former Reds GM Jim Bowden. Kearns was considered the future of a young Reds team when Bowden was in charge in Cincinnati. Bray was considered one of the Nationals' top pitching prospects. Now they're both changing teams.
The Reds also acquired shortstop Royce Clayton, infielder Brendan Harris and pitcher Daryl Thompson from the last-place Nationals.
Is Kearns the kind of guy a team can build around? Is he even the kind of guy a team can win with? He swings a big stick and is on pace for 30 homers and 100 RBIs this season. But he strikes out a ton, too. He's on pace for 170 Ks this season. He strikes out 30.5 percent of the time. That's a ton. Can a team win with a guy who wiffs that much? And who has such limited range in the outfield?
And do the Reds really have enough pieces to win the NL Central? They've been so bad for so long. And they're starting pitching…I mean, it's been good, but…really? Bronson Arroyo? Eric Milton? In the Great American Ballpark? Can they really keep it up?

Six researchers have shown they can survive the isolation and the cramped quarters that would be asked of any person attempting the long trip to Mars and back.
The simulation is prep for a real trip to Mars someday
The six men emerged pale but smiling. They had just endured the longest isolation experiment in the history of space travel, 520 days locked in windowless, cramped cells to simulate a journey to Mars and back.
French engineer Romain Charles, Russian surgeon Sukhrob Kamolov, Russian engineer and mission commander Aleksei Sityev, Russian physiologist Aleksandr Somlyeevsky, Italian-Colombian engineer Diego Urbina and Chinese aerospace instructor Wang Yue entered the mock spaceship at a Moscow research institute on June 3, 2010.
The crew spent almost a year and a half in the mock spaceship
During their time inside they had little contact with the outside world despite being monitored constantly by doctors and psychologists via a data link with a 20-minute delay to simulate the time it would take for a message to travel from Earth to a Mars spaceship. Halfway through the mission, three of the crewmembers even donned spacesuits and conducted a series of walks on a mocked up Mars surface.
Close relatives and mission controllers greeted the men with applause as they exited their simulated spaceship.
"It's really, really great to see you all again, rather heartwarming," said Diego-Urbina, the Italian-Colombian participant. "On this mission we've achieved the longest isolation ever so that humankind can go to a distant but reachable planet."
Space officials say technology is still decades away from allowing for a safe manned mission to Mars. Aleksei Krasnov, the head of Russia's piloted space vehicle program, said the simulation had provided information that would be critical to making an actual trip to Mars successful.
The Mars 500 experiment cost $15 million (10.9 million euros) and was funded mainly by Russia, the European Space Agency and Germany.

Hi there,
I had my anomaly scan today , I'm 22 weeks and have pelvic girdle pain. I found the scan to be very painful, uncomfortable and rough. The sonographer had me positioned a few different ways, one was on my back with the bed tilted so I was nearly upside down! She was really digging the scanner into my belly! Now it's evening time and I am so sore, my whole belly feels bruised, sore to touch and it's painful to get up from the couch or go up the stairs.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this from a scan?
Hi Niamhiep8I experienced the same on my first a couple of years ago. They really dig in to try get all the measurements. I remember the sonographer apologising for all the digging but it was bearable. Later that evening and the following day I felt very bruised. It's not nice but it is important they get all they need or could have had to call you back again. Hopefully you'll be back to normal in a couple of days.

It is the hardest, best job I have ever had, and I'm so grateful for each of my sweet boys.
Before having kids, I never pictured myself as a "boy mom," but now I can't imagine life any other way. As crazy and stinky and wild as they are, they're just my everything.
I can't get over them.
For the past five years, Jordan has been making special videos for me every Mother's Day.
They are, without doubt, my favorite gifts I've ever been given. They're so precious! I love watching and re-watching them as the years go on. It's so fun to listen to the kids' little voices, and reminisce about the phases they were in that year. It's also fun for us to look back at each home, and think about what was happening in our life each year. These videos are such treasures to me (there are links to the older videos at the end of this post!), and I'm so grateful to Jordan for making them.
He added a new twist to this year's video, and I cried my eyes out while watching it.
It is so precious to me. I am the luckiest mom in the world!!
For past Mother's Day videos, go here:

More leftist atrocities. No wonder they had to make up all these lies about the Industry -- they need their lies to cover up the crimes they committed.
So then, when are we going to see this sort of examination at the so-called 'death camps'?
I wonder why they do not show us the 1800 skeletal remains? Is it because it will put the communist photo forgeries to shame?
Construction workers made a grisly discovery in the Polish town of Malbork when they uncovered a Second World War mass grave containing the bodies of 1,800 German civilians.
"Some of the corpses display signs of bullet wounds."
Bernard Jesionowski of the Malbork Museum told the Polish PAP press agency: ""It could have something to with the German civilians who were killed during fighting between German and Russian troops at the beginning of 1945."
The WWII German military authorities had told the civilian population to leave the city at the end of 1944, but several thousand inhabitants remained.
"[The grave includes] the remains of women, men and children," public prosecutor Waldemar Zduniak said.

Large transactions
The published report (in Dutch) notes that the rental market for offices in the Amsterdam Area stabilised in 2012. However, Amsterdam Zuidoost, a business district located in the south east of Amsterdam, saw the largest uptake in terms of square meters. This is primarily due to a few new lease contracts for large offices. One example is a new contract with DAS, a Dutch company providing legal insurance. The company decided to utilise an entire 13-storey building, comprising 15,000 square metres. DAS plans to move into the new office in 2014.
Facilitating businesses
The Zuidoost business district is an attractive place for companies to settle due to the recent renovation of several office buildings. In addition, a number of important service providers have settled in the area, making for a valuable network of businesses. And recently, a modern hotel tower run by the Fletcher Group opened its doors. The 60-meter hotel tower has 16 floors and offers 120 rooms, plus on the top floors you will find conference facilities, a fitness centre and restaurants. More than the other Fletcher Hotels in the Amsterdam Area, the Fletcher Hotel Amsterdam will be geared especially towards the business traveller.
Diverse business locations
The Amsterdam Area offers more than 2 million square metres of office and industrial space, ranging from flexible offices to refurbished factories, state-of-the-art warehouses and high-end locations, such as the prestigious Amsterdam Zuidas. Read the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area's Property Report to see a business overview for each area.
In the northern part of Amsterdam (Amsterdam Noord), the digital industry continues to expand. MTV and Red Bull offices are located in former shipyards, while a repurposed hangar now houses 250 artists in individual studios. The area acts as a magnet for creative industries.The southern part of the city is home to the World Trade Centre (WTC) and the financial district, and is only 6 minutes by train from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and 15 minutes from the city centre.

Me: Oh yes, count me in.
Who would say no to paella, I muttered to myself. Just by imagining the prawns and squid that goes with it, made me drool.
Globally, Paella is considered a diverse dish which can be adjusted to your whim and taste, customary to Valencian tradition, the dish consists of Prawn, Calamares, Chicken and Chorizo. Due to evolution of times, Paella nowadays can be customized according to your wishes.
Here are the types of Paella we are familiar with:
Paella Valenciana - Best known type throughout Spain and neighboring regions. This dish is prepared with a tomato, pepper, onion and garlic sofrito. Authentic Valencians include rabbit meat. Other countries uses Chicken meat combined with some seafood.
Seafood Paella - Also known as paella marinera, it consists of seafood such as squid, prawns, mussels and clams.
Paella Negra –This type of paella is infused with octopus or squid ink and comes with the same ingredients as seafood paella
In the Philippines, you can find paella in buffet restaurants and mostly in Spanish cuisine restaurants. The elite usually serve this during special occasions and often included in their Sunday meal. Another season which you can see paella abound would be during Christmas season.
Producing a paella dish requires patience and personal technique and to come up with a rich taste that will surely catch everyone's palate, cooking the dish with passion is the secret (not anymore, haha) according to Ditto Lesaca, owner of Ditto's Paella.
That night, we feasted on Ditto's Paella Valenciana and Paella Negra. It is noticeable that his version is overflowing with Prawns, Squid, Chicken meat, Chorizo and sliced boiled eggs. He mentioned that he does not serve the regular type where people are prone to fight each other out of the measly meat portions.
To date, Ditto's Paella caters to Manila most influential families. During peak season, he can prepare 28 big paellera in a day. Ditto can cater to as little as 2 people with a small paellera and his big Paellera can feed up to 40 people.
You can also taste this exquisite Paella by order, and yes, they deliver! To order, you may call 0918.96.DITTO (34886) or 0917.5191.777. Follow Ditto's Pella on Facebook: @paelladitto.
Ditto's Sizes and pricing:
Personal ( Serves 2) – P2,000
Cozy (Serves 5) – P4,000
Small (Serves 10) – P6,000
Medium (Serves 20) – P8,000
Large (Serves 40) – P10,000

A home business can be easy to start. A good home business, on the other hand, takes more time to develop. It's a long process, with no guarantee of success. However, there are some things you must have for the best chance at growing a successful home business.
1. A Why
Why are you starting a home business? Money, something to do, work you love, pride in what you've created… what are your reasons?
Money usually isn't enough of a reason. For all you may want to earn more money, may need more money, it may not be as motivating as you think. Do something you don't enjoy just for the money, and it eventually gets harder to do. It's much better to earn money from home doing something you enjoy. It may take more time, but if you succeed, it will be a lot easier to keep going.
2. The Right Business
You won't succeed with just any business. It's easier to succeed in the right business… for you. Not for your friend, not for that guru online bragging about earning six figures a year. The right one for you.
Consider your work experience. What do you know how to do?
Consider your hobbies. Could one become a business?
Consider your family's needs. What works with the time you have available? Will you need to work with the kids around? Are they in school part of the day? Will you need to pay for childcare?
Consider yourself. If you don't enjoy going out and talking to people about your business, don't pick one that requires it. If you hate being isolated with your computer all the time, don't limit your business to online activities. Be sure the business is something you can enjoy doing.
Consider your target audience. None of the rest matters if you don't have people interested enough in your business that you can make money from it. Passion is great, a passionate target audience is better. Fortunately, if you're passionate about something you can make into a business, there are probably others too. You just have to do the research to figure out how to reach them.
3. A Reasonable Schedule
While you don't need to have every minute scheduled, or even every hour, some sort of schedule for your work is a very good idea. Without one, it's far too easy to slack off and get too little work done in a day or even a week.
Make it as detailed or loose as you prefer. Some people love their to-do lists – others hate them. Your schedule should work for you. If it pushes you a little bit, that's a good thing, but if it interferes with more important things, rewrite it.
4. Family Support
Any kind of business is challenging, at home or not. But to run one without family support is all but impossible. There may be concerns, worries about expenses, the amount of time it takes, the risks and so forth. Talk about them. Get support where you need it, address family concerns where you can.
This can especially mean help around the house. If you've been a stay at home mom for a while, everyone may be used to you doing everything around the house. Running a home business means the rest of the family may need to do a little more. Make sure everyone knows to expect some changes and maybe some inconvenience. If you keep trying to do it all, you're only making it harder on yourself, and that's rarely necessary.
5. A Workable Budget
Running a home business usually involves spending some money. It may be a lot, it may be a little. Either way, you need a budget, money you know is okay to spend on your business. Expenses may include (but aren't limited to):
- Domain name and hosting
- Website design
- Business cards
- Computer
- Software
- Product supplies
- Shipping
- Training
You may not need to spend money on all of these things. You may be able to put up a basic website without hiring someone to do it for you, for example… then again, it could be money very well spent to have someone else do it. You may be able to find enough free information online to get a good start to your business without paying for training.
Whenever you choose to go the free route on things you business needs, make sure it makes sense for you and your business. Free can be the worst choice at times. Any time you choose free, be sure it really makes sense. Your time is valuable, and free often means you're spending quite a bit more of your time on something that spending money could speed up significantly. The right purchase makes sense. Remember, just because you can do something for free or close to it doesn't mean you should.
6. Time Off
It's very easy to spend too much time working on your home business. it can feel as though you're losing valuable work time when you take a break, whether it's just 10 minutes, an evening, or a nice family vacation. Time off is important. It allows you to refresh your mind. People are more productive when they take an appropriate amount of time off work, not only each day, but over the long term.
Plan for breaks throughout your work day, and have an end to your working hours every day. There may be times when your business requires extra long hours, but don't let it happen every day. That time off you're avoiding may be exactly what you need to refresh your mind and get control of the problems taking so much extra time.
7. The Ability To Say "No"
Any business owner needs to know how to say "no." No to demands on your time that you really don't have time for. No to friends and family interrupting your work time unnecessarily. No to the household chores begging you to do them when you need to work. No to more work than you can handle.
When business is good, there may be times when you need to refuse more work or take on assistants. If you can't handle the workload, you have to decide what to do about it. Do you refuse a client or project, or do you hire someone to help you make it happen? A virtual assistant may be a good choice to help you through these times if there's something they can handle for you. But if you don't want to hire help, even on a short term basis, you may have to say no when too much work is offered to you.
8. The Knowledge that You're Not Perfect
You're going to mess things us and get things wrong. Sometimes you'll break all the rules you've set for yourself. Sometimes you'll make bad decisions. These things happen, whether it's a mistake in your business or in how you deal with your family.
Don't let your mistakes stop you. Learn from them. Make the changes necessary to avoid the same mistake in the future and apologize as necessary. If you demand perfection of yourself all the time, you'll never get anything done because nothing will ever be good enough.

~St. John Damascene
"And thus the immaculate (panagion) [191] body was laid in the tomb. Then it was assumed after three days to the heavenly mansions. The bosom of the earth was no fitting receptacle for the Lord's dwelling-place, the living source of cleansing water, the corn of heavenly bread, the sacred vine of divine wine, the evergreen and fruitful olive-branch of God's mercy. And just as the all holy body of God's Son, which was taken from her, rose from the dead on the third day, it followed that she should be snatched from the tomb, that the mother should be united to her Son; and as He had come down to her, so she should be raised up to Him, into the more perfect dwelling-place, heaven itself. It was meet that she, who had sheltered God the Word in her own womb, should inhabit the tabernacles of her Son."
~St. John Damascene, Homily II on the Assumption/Dormition
"To-day the living ladder, through whom the [203] Most High descended and was seen on earth, and conversed with men, was assumed into heaven by death. To-day the heavenly table, she, who contained the bread of life, the fire of the Godhead, without knowing man, was assumed from earth to heaven, and the gates of heaven opened wide to receive the gate of God from the East. To-day the living city of God is transferred from the earthly to the heavenly Jerusalem, and she, who, conceived her first-born and only Son, the first-born of all creation, the only begotten of the Father, rests in the Church of the first-born: the true and living Ark of the Lord is taken to the peace of her Son. The gates of heaven are opened to receive the receptacle of God, who, bringing forth the tree of life, destroyed Eve's disobedience and Adam's penalty of death. And Christ, the cause of all life, receives the chosen mirror, the mountain from which the stone without hands filled the whole earth. She, who brought about the Word's divine Incarnation, rests in her glorious tomb as in a bridal-chamber, whence she goes to the heavenly bridals, to share in the kingdom of her Son and God, leaving her tomb as a place of rest [204] for those on earth."
~St. John Damascene, Homily III on the Assumption/Dormition
Genesis 5:23:
[23] And all the days of Henoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. [24] And he walked with God, and was seen no more: because God took him.
4 Kings 2:11:
[11] And as they went on, walking and talking together, behold a fiery chariot, and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and Elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
"Thou wert not taken into heaven as Elias was, nor didst thou penetrate to the third heaven with Paul, but thou didst reach the royal throne itself of thy Son, seeing it with thy own eyes, standing by it in joy and unspeakable familiarity."
~St. John Damascene, Homily I on the Assumption/Dormition
Praised be Jesus Christ!
Now and forever. Amen.
So, we come to the single mystery for which there is no historical account in Scripture. This mystery is, however, attested to within Christian Tradition, and has been defined as Dogma in the Catholic Church (Pope Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus). This mystery is known as the Dormition (sleep) in the Eastern Churches, and has also been known as the Pausatio (pausing, or end), Mors (death), and Depositio (laying down) of Mary.
The tradition is that Mary reached the end of her life (the timing is uncertain--between three and fifteen years after the Ascension), and was put in a tomb by the Apostles, but when her tomb was opened later, it was found to be empty. Their conclusion, coming from both their Jewish tradition and from the revelation of Jesus Resurrection, was that her body had been raised and taken to Heaven.
I admit that I'm not going to delve too deeply into this mystery, but I do want to touch upon a couple of points. I want to explore the meaning of Mary's death, as well as to make the point that this idea of her being taken bodily to heaven is not a novelty within the Jewish tradition. However, if you want a more thorough reflection on this mystery, I welcome you to read the homilies by St. John Damascene, who lived in the 7th-8th century. They can be found here, here, and here.
Mary's Death
Throughout my childhood and youth and into my young adulthood, I had been taught the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, and I had believed it. However, during all of that time, it had never been made known to me that it is part of Christian Tradition that Mary had died before being assumed into heaven. So, it came as something of a shock to me to find out this is something the Catholic Church has always believed and taught. I had even heard about the Eastern belief in the Dormition, but still, it wasn't clear to me that she had died.
When I learned about this, I was of course immediately curious. I had always understood Mary's Assumption as having occurred because of Mary's sinlessness, and that she was not subject to corruption and death. So, finding out that she did, indeed, die forced me to re-examine that belief.
So, I reflected on it. I had discussions about it with other believers. The conclusion I arrived at, and St. John Damascene affirms in his homilies, is that Mary was indeed free from corruption and death, but that she chose to accept the death of her body in conformity with the will of God, who declared the consequence for Adam and Eve's sin to be death. I concluded that, just as Jesus had accepted death, had accepted this consequence of sin, in order to restore right order to our humanity, so too did Mary accept death in unity with her Son.
St. John Damascene offers many other reasons, reasons from "fittingness", that Mary died. He demonstrates that Mary is the fulfillment of many types from the old testament, Jacob's Ladder, the Ark of the Covenant, the Living City, and others, and that it is fitting that she enter into God's abode as the fulfillment of these types.
It made me wonder about God's original plan for humanity. We know that God bestowed the preternatural grace of immortality upon Adam and Eve in their original innocence, but I wonder if, understanding the nature of the material world as temporary, that God intended them originally to submit themselves to the death of the body in respect of its nature. Ah, speculations....
Within the Jewish Tradition
The second thing I wanted to touch upon was the idea that Mary being taken up to heaven body and soul would not have been thought of as novel by the early Jewish Christians. Within Jewish Scriptures, there are two other figures who were also taken up into heaven bodily: Enoch and Elijah. These were known for their righteousness before God, and Elijah is arguably the most important prophet in Jewish history. It is not, therefore, out of place to believe that the woman who surpassed all Old Testament saints and prophets would also have been taken up into heaven, body and soul.
I think this makes all the more sense when we understand it in light of Jesus' own resurrection, and His promise of resurrection at the end of time. Mary's resurrection and assumption into heaven represents the first eschatological fruit of Jesus' promise, of His saving work on the Cross, and His victory over death. His resurrection is proof of His victory over death, and her resurrection is proof that His victory belongs to all of us, who live in His love.
In Him, we will rise to new life, and live in His joy for ever. Praise be to Him, the Ancient of Days! Blessed be His mother, who lives with Him even now!
God bless you, and gratias vobis ago!

Qualitative research
This method is applied when qualitatively describing the risks of, for example, zoonoses, traffic safety and noise from livestock farming.
The qualitative method is used when few data are available for a more quantitative description, or first to examine qualitatively whether there might be a problem. If risks are flagged up, at a later stage the impacts can be worked out quantitatively (for example, for noise from livestock farms).
This method is applied at the beginning of a planning process and reveals which health aspects are relevant and how they can be taken account of when further developing the plan. Its advantage is that health receives attention early in the development of the plan and concrete opportunities for healthy layout are mentioned. It is primarily aimed at inspiring and at generating ideas. A disadvantage is that it is fairly general and difficult to translate into quantitative goals.

Hi Tina:
1-Yes, I am a Zartoshti from Iran. 2-The situation of Zartoshtis in Iran, this one needs a big discussion, which I do not find it approprite for this open forum, since it is a private matter of the Zarathushtians. 2-And finally there are many differences in the customs, ceremonies and rituals between the Zartoshtis of Iran and India. We have the same rituals and ceremonies but they are done with slight or sometimes big differences. The essense and spirit of the rituals are all the same and carrying the same spritual message, no matter if done by Iranians or the Parsis. We Iranians have simplified many of the rituals, something that I guess we should rethink about.
Regards Bahman

Noise tolerance of algorithms for estimating chlorophyll a concentration in turbid waters
- 191 Downloads
- Citations
The accuracy and noise tolerance of 13 global models and 5 Case II chlorophyll a (chl a) retrieval models were evaluated using three dataset. It was found that if 5 % input noise related to atmospheric correction is considered, then the uncertainty associated with noise tolerance varied from 5.5 % to 55.6 %, and these uncertainties generally accounts for 15.63 % to 24.75 % of the total uncertainty. This observation suggests that an optimal algorithm not only should have a strong chl a concentration prediction ability but also should possess high insensitivity to the noise of remote-sensing imagery. The accuracy evaluations of chl a models were based on comparisons of chl a predicted models with chl a concentration measured analytically for field measurements. The results indicate that none of the selected chl a estimation algorithms provide accurate retrievals of chl a in turbid waters. This may be attributed to the strong optical influence of organic and inorganic matter at the blue green range, and the non-negligible of non-organic matter absorption at the red and near-infrared ranges. In order to solve this problem, the chl a concentration retrieval models must be further optimized. After being optimized using the empirical optimized method constructed in this paper, a single parameterized NDCI (normalized difference chl a index) model produces accurate retrievals in the Yellow River Estuary, Taihu Lake and Chesapeake Bay. If 5 % input noise associated with residual uncertainty 0of atmospheric correction is taken into account, the model produces only 29.96 % uncertainty for the remote sensing of chl a concentration in these three turbid waters.
