It's getting to be that time again, when I give our condo the once over and think that it needs a little sprucing up. I'm still obsessed with gold details, especially gold dots, clearly the Kate Spade Confetti DIY wall art I made last year didn't get it out of my system. I am currently loving these gold DIY projects for around the house. A couple of them are the perfect use for my left over gold spray paint from this DIY nursery project. And those gold staples and Ampersands sign... I need them for the office this instant.

The Erasmus+ funded KA2 project EMPLOYMENT PLUS is about building labour market resilience for Europe's low-skilled and unqualified through targeted vocational guidance practice.
The aim of Erasmus Employment Plus (EEP) is to develop a work-based learning programme for counsellors, as they are a crucial link between low-skilled people and the labour market. This includes the development of new methods, techniques and resources to make vocational guidance fit for the future to support low-skilled adults in the labour market.
The focus will be on developing a new and innovative learning content for guidance counsellors to support the specific needs of low-skilled people who face significant obstacles to sustainable labour market participation. This will facilitate mutual learning and exchange of good practice between guidance counsellors from different sectors and organisations.
Besides Noloc, partners from the UK, Spain, Austria, Bulgaria and Poland participate in the project, that started in October 2018 and ends in September 2021.

One of its key characteristics is that the pledgor is able to use the pledged property in his business activity and to dispose of it through legal transactions. A wide range of assets can be subject to a registered pledge including chattels, debts, shares, receivables, dematerialized securities and intellectual property rights. The special pledge is registrable in the Central Pledge Registry (in Bulgarian) and its priority is determined by the date of registration.

Enjoying Legal Marijuana in Las Vegas
I assumed using marijuana was just smoking a joint or blunt or eating a pot brownie. There are actually many ways of enjoying marijuana in Las Vegas that I didn't know about.
I assumed using marijuana was just smoking a joint or blunt or eating a pot brownie. There are actually many ways of enjoying marijuana in Las Vegas that I didn't know about.
One of the most popular sights in Las Vegas is the "Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. Unlike the magnificent fountain show at Bellagio and other famous things to see in Las Vegas, it's not located right in the middle of the action. The iconic Las Vegas Sign is technically located on the world famous Las Vegas Strip, but it's isolated and away from everything else you'll see in Las Vegas.
Kyoto is all about history. I went on a day tour around Kyoto and it was absolutely breathtaking. Everything is so beautiful, the architecture and their nature in general.
Summerlin is a planned community about 20 minutes west of the Vegas Strip. The entire area is beautiful and a well thought out combination of suburbia and what I expected from Las Vegas.
Here are a few must visit places in Las Vegas if you've never been here before. These are some of the most iconic attractions you'll find in Las Vegas. You may visit some of these places on every visit and others you may only need to see once.
Luxury is defined as "the state of great comfort and extravagant living." By definition, everything in Las Vegas could be considered luxurious. When I think of Las Vegas Hotel Luxury, I'm thinking the best of the best. Las Vegas does luxury the way few other cities in the world do. Great service and amenities are almost second nature and provided seemingly without effort.
Imagine brightly coloured coral, manta rays, green sea turtles and hosts of tropical fish. This is what it's like to snorkel in the Mexican Caribbean!
Our desire is to profile a selection of the cheapest Hyatt Mexico Hotels. For those disinterested in Miles+Points (is that possible?) these properties provide consistent quality backed by the global standards of Hyatt Corporation. We provide links to the official Hyatt pages for booking, as well as for booking with Hotels.com Mexico that provides a very simple awards program ( Hotels.com rewards – Collect 10 nights, get 1 free* ) for those that don't care to focus on a specific hotel loyalty program.

Royal Square @ Novena
Royal Square @ Novena is located at junction of Thomson Road and Irrawaddy Road and will form the future Novena Health City. This Novena mixed developement consists of Hotels, Commercial and Medical Suites is developed By Hoi Hup Sunway which will form part of Singapore largest medical complex here. An iconic high-rise project offers first 2 levels of retail shopping mall (Retail Shops, Restaurants and F&B) with medical suites and hotel rooms above.
With its current location on an established commercial hub in prime area, Novena in particular, getting to Orchard Road from Royal Square is almost as quick as counting from one to ten. Extremely convenient location surrounded by well established amenities with easy access to Novena MRT Station within a short walk via underpass below Novena Mall. This mixed commercial site is situated in the heart of the Singapore next mega medical hub in Novena. This significant new project will inject more vibrant and lifestyle living for the future residents here at District 11 and provide first class medical service to locals and foreigners
This convenience is further reinforced with the hefty combination of an MRT station below with the shopping and eating facilities in the square. Other amenities like United Square, Velocity @ Novena Square, Square2 and several others makes the Hoi Hup Medical Suites an investment of great value.
The 0.66 hectare site area, having a maximum permissible gross floor area or GFA of exactly 301,852 square feet, is considered "White site" as it will be consist of hotel and commercial use. A minimum of thirty percent of the total GFA is to be set hotel space as per terms set by the urban Redevelopment Authority which led to the allocation of levels 22 and 23 for the said purpose. Its first two levels are particularly made to hold retail businesses while levels 3 and for are dedicated for multi car-park. Restaurants are housed in the building's level 1, level 1 and level 6. The commercial spaces from level 7 to level 21 are to used as medical suites.
The site's location made it an interesting piece of investment given its close proximity to the Novena MRT. Royal Square is also situated very closely to major medical institutions in the area namely the National Neuroscience Institute, Novena Medical Centre, National Skin Centre, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. The main purpose of the development is to provide commercial services to support these medical institutions nearby and to provide hotel accommodations. There will also be a Medical school in the future and all this will form the future Novena Health City by 2030.
Royal Square actual size gives it an advantage of a direct link to the Novena MRT. With the site's strategic location, it is quite highly accessible from all parts of the entire city through the Central Expressway. Trips to the entire island is even made easier through main roads such as the Moulmein, Thomson, and Newton Roads.
Venturing in such an investment as the Royal Square will yield a very good output. Being part of the Singapore Largest Medical Complex and being well connected to an established commercial hub and to groups of medical institutions, profitability is guaranteed. These institutions' commercial needs are easily satisfied with the set of services that the Royal Square offer. As for the clients of the said development, access to a whole lot of amenities provides greater choices.
With a majority of medical institutions that encompass Royal Square, businesses will have higher returns. As for the interlinking to the whole island, suppliers and more clients are expected to flock to this location from local and also foreigners. Being in a very good location readily accessible from any part of Singapore through major roads, it promises to give travelling and accommodation benefits to its clients. The site's location alone sparked a great deal of interest from investors with prospects of higher profitability. Both clients and investors are envisioned to get more out of their money's worth. This and all the other great stuff that comes with Royal Square are the very reasons not to look elsewhere. So, jump on the bandwagon and be swept away by the promise of stability, convenience and accessibility that Royal Square brings.

Congestion pricing redux
There could be no more talk, transit advocates reasoned, of "congestion pricing," a phrase Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg often used before his sweeping plan to overhaul New York City's bridge tolling system was vanquished in 2008, and treated as political arsenic ever since.
Then, with a clean slate, supporters could move on to the hard part: sculpting a proposal that might succeed where the mayor failed.
And so, more than five years after Mr. Bloomberg's plan died in Albany, a cadre of the city's transit minds has primed a successor, fine-tuning a pricing model that might be more palatable to residents outside Manhattan, meeting quietly with former opponents and preparing to take its case early next year to a public that has grown accustomed to free, if traffic-choked, rides over the East River.
Political obstacles abound, including securing the support of the State Legislature. But in what the plan's supporters have billed as the most significant change of heart so far, Councilman Mark Weprin, an outspoken critic of the old proposal, said in an interview last week that he was receptive to this reimagined version.
"I'd like to have a chance to talk to them again," he said of his constituents, "and say this makes a lot more sense." (Mr. Weprin, a Queens Democrat, is running for City Council speaker.)
Proponents said the arrangement, devised by Samuel I. Schwartz, a former city traffic commissioner, would increase tolls in areas with high congestion and ample public transportation, and lower or eliminate them in transit-poor pockets, suggesting that Manhattanites would be asked to contribute more than they had under past proposals.
The plan championed by Mr. Bloomberg would have "raised revenue to do a lot of good things," Mr. Schwartz said. "To be fair was not the fundamental premise."
Move NY, the group behind the campaign, has billed the new plan as "fair tolling and transportation reinvestment," adding that its details would not be made final until after a series of public forums next year. It can be distinguished from Mr. Bloomberg's vision, the group said, in part because its revenues would be used not only to fund the capital program of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority but also to upgrade roads and bridges — a nod to drivers who might be expected to oppose any congestion-based pricing.
While the toll amounts could change, an example on Mr. Schwartz's website included $5.33 E-ZPass tolls on the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge and the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges — all of which are now free. The one-way rate to cross the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge would decline to $5.66, from $10.66, and tolls on the Robert F. Kennedy, Throgs Neck and Bronx-Whitestone Bridges would be $2.83.
Traffic should be eased, Mr. Schwartz has said, because the adjusted rates would discourage "toll-shopping," which can currently lead commercial vehicles and private drivers to take circuitous but inexpensive routes through some of the city's busiest neighborhoods.
Rates could also be adjusted depending on the city's economic fortunes, Mr. Schwartz said, potentially falling during lean periods.
Move NY estimated that the plan would create 35,000 jobs.

35,000 new jobs? That's BS and they know it!

I would like to see them build a toll on the qb bridge! That thing is sooooooo small as it is! But I suppose its possible now because of the ez pass. But I dont understand why we have to pay just to get to another part of the same city we live in. This is so stupid! Its like were imprisoned to the nyc government!
- Thursday, November 28, 2013
Maybe the money that is generated from this will allow them to build the Triboro-RX.
- Thursday, November 28, 2013
This is a stupid idea. The money that they make in tolls will disappear into the city budget, never to be used to actually fix the bridge you are paying for.
And once passed the outer boro tolls that will be reduced in the beginning will be raised again to what they are now.

i'm all for it as long as this comes with a fully approved, funded and ready to build plan to build new subway lines in queens for people who live close to the nassau border. or build new cheap parking near LIRR stations for people to take the train to work
i've driven into manhattan and the east side is a parking lot during rush hour. they need to do something

Moving to Poway?
As the parents of three children, the importance of a good education is always on my mind, and it's one of the most important factors for my prospective buyers with kids. Very often, the areas they are looking to buy a house are determined by the boundaries of the nearby school district.
The Poway Unified School District is recognized as one of the best in the county, if not the state. In a recent study conducted by Niche, Poway Unified K-12 was ranked #8 in California. While the district is well known as a top choice for education, what's less known is where exactly the boundary lines are in the area. Sometimes one block can make the difference between a top-ranked school and an average one!
If you have kids in school and are looking to move into the Poway area, here is a handy link to find out the boundaries for Poway Unified Elementary, Middle, and High schools:

My Dad's mother had an unusual way of describing her TV viewing behaviour, which she described as 'looking in' – as in 'I looked in at Dixon of Dock Green last night'.
Since this seemed an odd turn of phrase, I thought I'd better check to make sure I wasn't imagining it, and found just a handful of entries (but see below) in Google for "looked in at television", one of which referred to a speech made in the UK House of Lords in 1954 by Earl De La Warr.
Apparently he'd been ill and had spent a week 'looking in' every day, only to discover a surfeit of crime plays.
No change there then.
Today we're more likely to say we 'watch' TV, of course, but I wonder how accurately this describes our behaviour? The dictionary suggests that the word 'watch' means 'to keep under attentive view or observation', yet when the box is on all evening, I'm sure our degree of attention is not necessarily undiluted.
I wonder how you might describe the use of the sense of sight when the average person goes about their everyday life?
Would you say they 'look' at the world?
Do they 'see' it?
One thing that's clear is that we'd rarely apply the word 'watch' to it, unless of course they happen to be sitting at a cafe table watching it go by.
On a low mood day, it's easy to get wrapped up in your own thoughts, which doesn't always help.
That's when it can be really helpful to take notice of the world around you.
It seems that when we do this, we give ourselves a break from our inner rumination.
So as the day progresses, rather than simply looking and seeing, why not try and purposefully watch?
Not in the same way that you 'look in' at TV, but in a more observational, questioning way.
Watch the world as if for the first time.
As for that apparently rare phrase "looked in at television", there should soon be one more entry for it, if Google does its job of finding today's piece of writing.
I'm sure my Gran would have been tickled pink to have been associated with the venerable Earl De La Warr.
And vice versa, possibly.

Seven Most Common Mistakes People Make When Pitching Their Business
To do something right, you have to know what you're doing wrong
Back in May of this year, I hosted an online intensive on how to fund-raise like a pro with one of my favorite authors and investors, Fran Hauser. Fran is not only a longtime colleague and confidante, but her best-selling book, The Myth of the Nice Girl, is a must-read for anyone working or believing in the archaic leadership model of the days of yore (and bore). It's even recommended reading in Angela Lee's classes and she's Chief Innovation Officer and Associate Dean at Columbia Business School!
During Fran's Zuckerberg Institute intensive we discussed how raising money can be one of the scariest—yet most important—steps to take when you launch a business. As one of Business Insider's "30 Women in Venture Capital to Watch," Fran knows what gets her to open up her own wallet to help fund a startup, so later this month Fran will be leading a one-day intensive offering the 7 key elements of crafting the perfect business pitch so investors will open their wallets, too.
To truly learn how to do something right, you also have to know what you're doing wrong. Here are Fran Hauser's 7 most common mistakes people make pitching their business.

EU: Apple Pay May Be Stifling Payments Competition
EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said multiple grievances have been filed with the European Commission regarding Apple Pay and its negative effect on competition in the payments space.
Vestager said during a press conference at Web Summit 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal, "We get many, many concerns when it comes to Apple Pay for pure competition reasons." Vestager continued, "People see that it becomes increasingly difficult to compete in the market for easy payments."

The Vitamin Shoppe On Offering Subscriptions At The POS
The Vitamin Shoppe is one of the heavy hitters in its field, with over 700 retail locations around the nation.

Can There Be An Uber Of Furniture?
The idea behind Oliver Space is pretty simple, and would seem to fit within the larger world of subscription commerce, and even the sharing economy. The company functions as a direct-to-consumer operator, having relationships with furniture manufacturers (and a few retailers).
It provides furniture to users, who tend to be young urban professionals, for a monthly fee. That's not all, though. Oliver Space also offers, via live chat and video conferences, advice as well as tips about crafting a good look for one's apartment or other dwelling.

Asghar F. Vasanwala
I am from Dahod, Gujarat. I am having a degree in civil structural Engineering and have worked in this field all my life. I also had passion for literature and human behavior, so I went to collage for B.A. in Psychology and M.A. in Sociology. Urdu is not my mother tongue; but, I loved it from my childhood and kept learning it throughout. I have also learned Farsi and some Arabic. I speak Marathi and Hindi well; I speak little Spanish too. Because love of Urdu literature, each month once or twice I write and email explanation of Ghalib's verses to folks on my mailing list.
In 1996 I went to India and saw plight of poor people and I thought to do some thing. When I came back, our Company Southern California Edison (Electric Power) Company offered a package to encourage employees to leave the company and reduce the staff. I did; and, then never went back to work for sake of my involvement in social work. Urdu and Social work, both are my passion.
I love fun in life and want to enjoy it. I also want everyone else also to enjoy life and have fun.
About My Project
When I went to India in 1996, and saw the condition of poor people in my hometown Dohad and other towns around it, I decided to help them achieve dignity in their lives. Dahod belongs to a backward and poor district called Panchmahals, which is in Gujarat. Especially Muslims of this area are without economic resources and have little economic and educational opportunities. When I came back to US that year, I started this program with $700. Since then, I am able to reach many donors and have achieved a great success. For the last few years I collect donations from my friends and send it to my cousin Abid Vasanwala who is an Asst. Manager of State Bank of India. He distributes these donations among needy people who need to pay their small medical bills, Collage/school tuition fees, or school uniforms. We limit our selves to small needs only so that the donation amounts are widely distributed. We spend lot of time scrutinizing applicants and their needs before distributing the donations to them. We also ask applicants to write a letter of thanks, addressed to the donors, stating his/her circumstances and predicaments. We get a receipt from the recipient in form of a letter where in he or she writes the purpose for which the donation amount would be used along with "Thanks-Dua" and appreciation for getting donation.
When I receive these letters, I mail them to each donor, so that he/she may know how his/her donation was used..
In 2001 I received such encouraging support from donors that with help of Batul Kamal I started a new help center in Nagpur. Batul Kamal is from an influential family of Nagpur and has retired from her teaching job in Nagpur College. Not only she is well equipped and well connected, she also has right fire for uplift of poor, especially Muslim children. Nagpur center has just taken off! In a short time of four months we have started embroidery and other classes in a Nagpur slum area. For this purpose we have secured a rent-free space from a local philanthropist and have also bought several embroidery machines at a discounted price. This effort would open up financial resources for poor women as embroidery skill is in a great demand. In addition, we are partners in a nurse-training program for a Nagpur hospital, which serves poor Muslim neighborhood. We are also planning to employ poor women in small businesses such as preparing snacks that then would be marketed in schools' and collages'. Unfortunately at this time the Nagpur project has become inactive as Batul Kamal is not keeping good health.
In Dahod, last year, we have formed a Trust called "Talim Trust" and also formed a brand new committee of committed people. Its president is a young lady Tabassum Shaikh, who just finished her B. Com. This committee has done excellent job. They have distributed School Uniforms, school fees, school books, and school bags to about 1,000 needy children. We will provide shoes to needy children. They have helped small business, sick, widows, poor and orphans for their daily and medical needs. Committee members go door to door to door in poor neighborhood to assess their needs.
So far this is an all-volunteer work, and therefore, we do not incur any overheads except, some postage expenses. However our work is expanding so we are in process of renting a place with class, playground, library, computer room and an office. We will be hiring a small staff to run our trust under the direction of trust members.
I collect more than 12-lac Rs. to help the poor and the needy mostly during Ramadan when I approach managements and worshippers in different mosques during Juma and Taravi prayers. To get tax befits from US Government I have joined hands with IMRC (Indian Muslim Relief Committee) and AFMI (American Federation of Muslims from India) I am an IMRC Volunteer since 1997 and AFMI since 2003. Both are US registered charities and have Indian Government permission to collect donations from foreign nations, for charitable works in India.
My Donation campaign is During Ramadan we distributed Fitra money, by way of food and clothing to many needy Muslim families. During last Eid-al-Adha 46 US families offered 61 goat Qurbani at $50 each for Goat Qurbani. Meat was distributed among poor people in Dahod and its villages. I collected about $14,000 for Tsunami victims in India. This fund was given to IMRC for distribution.
We have two other programs:
1. Recognizing bright children in poor neighborhoods and train them for IAS officer position.
2. Start some sports activity for children in poor neighbor hood along with a library type reading room.
During Gujarat riot we helped riot-refugees. We gave ad-hoc sums of Rs.500 to each refugee family. We also received help from some philanthropists in India. There was a total loss of Rs. 72 Crore upwards in villages and towns around Dahod. There is still a great need to resettle the above refugees so that they can earn their livelihood and their children can go to school.

He has only recently deigned to look his age. Occupation: Teacher, gang leader, and surrogate father to a gaggle of changeling children. May or may not have ties to underground pro-changeling political movements. Or organized crime (They're really the same thing, aren't they?). Lethe credits Jin with teaching her how to be a proper changeling. Jin, in turn, is openly disdainful of Lethe's upbringing, education, chosen profession, very loud red hair, and (quote) "little princess" attitude. They are not on the best of terms. Playlist: 1.

The next step is to decide where you would like to live. You have been preapproved by a lender and that lender has given you and your agent a letter stating exactly what price home you can buy. This is important because once you find that house, your agent will have to send that letter with your offer to buy the home of your choice. There are a lot of questions you should ask yourself to narrow down the homes you will want to look at. Do you want to be close to work? Do you have children? Are schools important to you? What style house do you want? Do you want to live in a subdivision and does that subdivision have to have certain amenities? Is a yard important to you? How big? Basement/no basement, garage/how big?, #bedrooms/baths. As you can see, there are a lot of questions you need to go over with your Realtor so they can best narrow down the list of possible homes to look at. Often times you do not know the answer to many of the questions. That is okay. Your agent is here to help you navigate the decisions. A property search can be set up to isolate the properties that fit what you are looking for. As your agent, I will send you emails daily with properties for your review. Once we decide on which ones fit your needs, we can schedule an appointment to visit them. Yeah, you found your dream home or at least the dream home you can afford. Now to make the offer.

Turkish police detain 11 over social media criticism of military operation
Police have detained 11 people in Izmir, western Turkey, over social media posts criticising the military operation launched this week against Kurdish-led groups in northeast Syria, Islamist daily Yeni Şafak reported on Friday.
The Izmır police department detained people suspected of using social media to "slander Operation Peace Spring, make propaganda for a terrorist organisation" and act against Turkey's security forces, the newspaper said.
The Turkish military launched Operation Peace Spring against the Syrian Democratic Forces and its allies on Wednesday. Ankara views the group as a terrorist organisation due to its links to outlawed Kurdish militant groups in Turkey.
On Wednesday, police in Turkey announced that investigations had been launched into 78 people including two journalists over social media posts criticising the military operation.

Overcoming Adversity at Pike River
It is a gross understatement to say that things went wrong in the Pike River mine. In the end, despite best endeavours, all of the preventative safety systems proved inadequate. At first glance it would also initially appear that not nearly enough thought and planning had gone into building a technological infrastructure that would not only survive a mine blast, but would enable rescuers expeditiously to enter the mine thereafter.
We are pleased that inquiries will take place–although we are scathing of the number. All this speaks of a plethora of bureaucratic bodies fulfilling respective statutory obligations. Ten different inquiries are not going to add much supplementary information–but they will consume an awful lot of time and money as labyrinthine bureaucratic boxes are ticked. This is but a small part of the price we have to pay for having decided that we would rather be managed by bureaucrats, than live our lives in thankful acknowledgement of God's wondrous providential care.
But we expect the mining industry will learn a great deal from the disaster. Mines generally, and coal mines in particular, will end up being better, safer, and more productive places to work. As we apply our God-given gifts, intelligence, resourcefulness and skills to analysing and learning from the disaster we will make progress; we will all be better off. And that is the way it is supposed to be. God has commanded us, after all, to go forth and subdue His earth, making it bring forth its pluriform riches (Genesis 1:28). Mining is an act of obedience to our Creator.
Just as every earthquake is studied and engineering knowledge grows, leading to safer and better buildings, so it will be with the mining industry as a result of Pike River.
In this respect, several salutary things have impressed us in the aftermath of the disaster. Firstly, while pop-pundits like Mike Hoskings of a local radio breakfast show has repeatedly asked every guest whether mining has a future in New Zealand (implying that it should go the way of whale blubber), the industry and company spokesmen and national leaders have remained judicious and non-reactionary. Gerry Brownlee, Mining Minister has used the simile of an aircraft crash. When a plane goes down we work to make aviation safer, not use it as a reason to stop flying.
Career miners have affirmed that the industry in their minds is something about which they are passionate and they would never willingly give up. "It gets in your blood," the Chairman of Pike River said–and he is a life-long miner. The Coasters themselves have more than a little passion and enthusiasm about mining–which is one of the lifeblood industries of the region.
We have no doubt that the best way to honour the memory of the fallen miners is to overcome the hazards which proved fatal to them so that those who come after them will not suffer the same fate.
We also spare a thought for the shareholders who put up the capital to develop the Pike River mine. There will be some who have lost a great deal. These people are the financial equivalent of the miners themselves. Both are needed to make a mine exist and work. Such entrepreneurs who are willing to put so much at risk are also heroic in their own way. They can only be admired.
We have also appreciated Andrew Little's contribution. Here is a union leader who is not fixated by the antediluvian dogma of class warfare, it would seem, and who has publicly supported both management and miners during the disaster.
Not so long ago we took great offence at a Prime Minister who disgraced her office by her gratuitous slur of people of the West Coast, calling them "feral"–as she hounded and persecuted one of their number, Kit Richards who had dared to stand up to her. Thankfully we have not seen a repeat of such shameful, ill mannered behaviour during this recent disaster.
D H Lawrence, in his Whales Weep Not!, tells us
They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains
the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent.
Similarly, they say the earth is hot, but yet hotter still is the blood of miners.

How is this for this week's horoscope?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Am I reading the astrological omens correctly? I hope so. From what I can tell, you have been flying under the radar and over the rainbow. You have been exploiting the loopholes in the big bad system and enjoying some rather daring experiments with liberation. At this point in the adventure, you may be worried that your lucky streak can't continue much longer. I'm here to tell you that it can. It will. It must. I predict that your detail-loving intelligence will paradoxically guide you to expand your possibilities even further.
And how is it possible that it would be the perfect time the perfect answer to me?
Anyway, I just wanted to share with you yet another thing that makes no sense, and yet it's happening… like attachments, seeing mites, like guidance, like everything I have been dealing with the past 5 years or so.
On a different note: I got a great idea from Roy Williams yesterday… here is his Monday Morning Memo:
A Single Conversation
Throughout the presidency of her husband, Martha Washington hosted a weekly reception each Friday evening for anyone who would like to attend. At these gatherings, men and women from the local community would mingle with Members of Congress and visiting dignitaries at the presidential mansion where they would enjoy refreshments and talk.
Martha didn't do this because she loved to entertain. She did it to encourage people, brighten people, connect people.
One hundred years later, Stéphane Mallarmé would open his modest home each Tuesday night to the literary and artistic misfits of Paris. Among the writers who gathered there each week were Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, André Gide, Paul Valéry, Paul Verlaine and Rainer Maria Rilke.
What conversations they had! Arthur Schopenhauer was likely talking about these Tuesday nights when he wrote, "The business of the novelist is not to relate great events, but to make small ones interesting."
Debussy named Stéphane Mallarmé as his inspiration for The Afternoon of a Faun and Ravel wrote a mystical piece of music, Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé dedicated to the memory of his Tuesday night host. The visual artists who mingled with those writers and musicians on Tuesday nights were Manet, Degas, Gaugin, Whistler, Renoir, Edvard Munch and Auguste Rodin. The combined works of these artists today are worth – quite literally – many billions of dollars.
These men did not get together because they were exceptional.
They became exceptional because they got together.
In the spirit of Martha Washington and Stéphane Mallarmé, Wizard Academy launched just such a weekly gathering one year ago.
You should start one, too.
If ever you're in Austin on a Friday afternoon, we gather at 4PM at the Toad and Ostrich, the private pub on the campus of Wizard Academy. Just climb the tower fire escape to the quarterdeck and go through the door on your left.
We go home to our families at 5:30.
These are the rules of our gathering:
If you talk about business or politics, we throw you out.
Although the topic of conversation may wander like a butterfly in springtime, we have a single conversation with everyone participating. No side conversations, please.
Daniel Whittington is our host at the Toad and Ostrich, our Martha Washington, our Stéphane Mallarmé. While you're here, you might even learn why we call him "Brittington."
Be prepared to laugh.
Be prepared to sing.
Be prepared to live.
Do this in your town, too.
Roy H. Williams
Now, literally none of you is local to me, but we could do it online. Not as satisfying as sitting together, sipping tea or coffee, or whatever… lol, but it's the best we can do right now.
So I suggest a weekly gathering to exchange ideas, maybe on Wednesday afternoon?
Google hangout (cameras) or webinar?
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

The L'Oreal Gold Obsession lipstick is every drugstore makeup lover's dream. It's high quality, low priced and looks right at home amongst a high-end collection. The packaging is a gorgeous matte black with a shiny gold finish on the bottom. It's sturdy and secure and will survive even the most chaotic of makeup bags.
The lipstick itself is equally as pretty. The formula is creamy so it applies without any tugging and it's opaque so it can be built up to a beautiful bold shade or it can be much more subtle if you're not feeling so daring. The formula is also enriched with omega 3 oils and vitamin E which makes the lipstick moisturising as opposed to having the dreaded drying effect. Its creaminess and moisturising properties means the lipstick does not hold up well against food and drink; reapplication is a must if you want to maintain the bold look.
The L'Oreal Gold Obsession lipstick has a metallic finish which, as a matte fan, isn't typically my cup of tea but L'Oreal has managed to change my opinion. I cannot stop staring at my lips whenever I'm wearing this product as the shine is perfection; it's as if you've layered a lipgloss over the lipstick but without the stickiness. If I could only have one lip product for the rest of my life, the L'Oreal Gold Obsession lipstick would be a serious contender!
Now for the fun part! I've teamed up with wowfreestuff.co.uk to give one lucky person their chance to win a L'Oreal Gold Obsession lipstick of their own. To enter just follow the steps below. Good luck!

How to get rid of your Christmas tree in Havering this year
PUBLISHED: 12:00 26 December 2018
When the needles start dropping like rain it's probably time to think about saying goodbye to the Christmas tree.
Households in Havering can take advantage of a free collection service for those unwanted festive firs this year, or take them to a special collection day at Gidea Park Sports Centre on Saturday January 5.
Last year, 65 residents took advantage of that service.
Councillor Osman Dervish, cabinet member for the environment, said: "Havering is making it as easy as possible for people to recycle their Christmas trees.
"Residents can take their real trees to the recycling centre in Gerpins Lane or arrange for them to be collected with their general kerbside garden waste.
"A recycling service will also be available at Gidea Park Sports Centre on Saturday, January 5 between 10 am and 2pm."
Havering Council has 11 Christmas trees on its high streets, and each of these will be composted at Bedfords Park and used on the grounds of local parks and open spaces to improve the soil.

SmokingAnger ManagementStress Reduction and ManagementWeight Loss
In the opening chapter of this book, author Jillian Pransky describes the circumstances surrounding her first panic attack. At that point in time, Pransky was already teaching yoga—an athletic, energetic style which had always suited her competitive nature. But as her body neared exhaustion, Pransky found that she needed something different. She sought out more mindful yoga practices, eventually becoming a restorative yoga instructor and a certified yoga therapist.
In Deep Listening: A Healing Practice to Calm Your Body, Clear Your Mind, and Open Your Heart, Pransky presents methods for listening to one's own body as a means to move towards an increased sense of well-being. Throughout the book, she shares additional personal reflections, letting readers know how this type of practice has affected change in her own life.
Each chapter follows a similar format. Pransky offers simple reflections, almost poetic-like prose around the theme of that section. The Meditation Experience provides a step-by-step guide to engaging in a short seated meditation (5-10 minutes is generally recommended). This is followed by two or three yoga posture suggestions, always ending in a restorative pose. Pransky provides instructions to "relaxmore," releasing for 5 to 15 minutes into the final posture. In addition, she includes a segment on "relaxmore" guidelines, gentle coaxing the body and the mind to unwind. Finally, every chapter also includes Journal Prompts, or questions/suggestions to stimulate thought, and Instant Pause and Reflect, reminders to encourage grounding throughout the day.
At the end of book, Pransky offers several additional resources, including a full yoga practice, a supple psoas sequence, and a restorative posture summary. She also reviews important practice considerations such as creating a personal practice space, setting up a comfortable meditation seat, and using props.
Part-memoir, part self-help, Deep Listening provides readers with a compassionate guide to self-exploration. Writing from her own personal experience, Pransky comes across as authentic and genuine. Recommended for those who are ready to use simple yet effective yoga and mindfulness-based techniques to pursue an increased sense of relaxation and ease.

TV's "30 Rock" Urges Kidney Donation in Musical Season Finale
The national organ shortage is not a laughing matter, but the season finale of "30 Rock," the Emmy Award-Winning NBC comedy starring Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey, had viewers smiling and rocking with a musical plea for kidney donation. The show featured special guest star Alan Alda whose character needs a transplant. The specially written song—"He Needs a Kidney"—brought out top musical stars Sheryl Crow, Elvis Costello, Mary J. Blige, Cyndi Lauper and the Beastie Boys, among others.
To generate additional awareness for the cause, producers have partnered with iTunes to distribute a music video of "He Needs a Kidney" online until November. All proceeds will benefit the National Kidney Foundation.
To support NKF and download the "He Needs a Kidney" music video, visit iTunes.com . For more information on becoming an organ donor, click here.

Celebrating Life on Father's Day
What do you buy your dad for Father's Day when you've already given him a kidney?
"Not much," says Marie Eraso of Los Angeles. "At this point, just visiting him and appreciating the healthy life he now lives is enough of a gift for him and for all of us."
Back in the fall of 2005, when Marie left her home in Dallas for Los Angeles to attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, she was worried. Being so far away from home would be a big adjustment and knowing that her father, Ramoncito, was ill made her leave-taking all the more bittersweet.
Her dad's kidneys were failing and he had just been placed on the national transplant waiting list. By the time she returned home six months later for spring break, her father was already being prepped for dialysis treatment.
To read more on Marie's gift of life to her father click here.
Social Connection Far Outweighs Compensation in Motivating Kidney Donors
A potential kidney donor is far more motivated to donate a kidney based on a close relationship with the recipient than on a monetary incentive, according to new research published this summer in NKF's Journal of Nephrology Social Work.
In the first phase of this study, led by Dr. Harry Humphries and his associates at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas, researchers surveyed 73 undergraduate students using standardized scales to "explore the social structures of kidney transplants and to empirically examine social distance and material incentives."

Apples are Okay, but Bananas are not...Top 10 Dialysis Diet Tips
If you have chronic kidney disease, good nutrition and diet are critical components of the treatment plan. The recommended diet, including amounts of protein, calories and nutrients, changes depending on how much kidney function you have. For those beginning dialysis treatment, monitoring your diet is essential to staying healthy. Here are some tips to keep you on track:
- Eat a high protein food at every meal. This includes meat, fish, poultry, fresh pork or eggs.
- Cut out potassium and phosphorus.
- Avoid peanut butter, nut, seeds, dried beans and lentils. Even though these are high in protein, they are also high in potassium and phosphorous.
- Use less salt and eat fewer salty foods. This may help to control blood pressure and reduce weight gains between dialysis sessions.
- Use herbs, spices and low-salt flavor enhancers in place of salt

Cybersecurity & the Law
Cyber Florida is pleased to share our first guest post, a brief overview of cybersecurity law from Tampa-based expert Steve Berlin, Esq. Mr. Berlin is an Associate with the firm Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell and focuses on product liability and casualty litigation with an emphasis on deconstructing complex matters and issues involving technology. This post is his introduction to the topics he'll be exploring in Hot Cup of Cyber over the coming months. Our gratitude to Mr. Berlin and Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell for sharing their valuable insight!
Welcome to the first post of the legal-based column of the Cyber Florida cybersecurity for small businesses blog, where we will cover interesting cyber legal topics that affect small to medium-sized businesses. This segment is designed for laypeople and will not get too deep into legal jargon and analysis. Rather, it is designed to make businesspersons aware of the general cyber legal issues to help them know how to ask the right questions and take steps to protect their companies and data.
People often ask, why should I care about cyber legal issues? I'm just a small company, why would hackers care about my business? Why should I take action and what type of action do I need to take? The body of law surrounding cybersecurity explains why all businesses, regardless of size, should be concerned and what actions they should take to protect themselves, but it does not necessarily tell them how to go about it. Thus, the need for cybersecurity technical specialists and CISOs to assist.
The gateway question asked is: what law applies to a particular business? The United States follows a sectoral model of cybersecurity regulation, in that certain industries are regulated, but in general, there is no overarching general regulation. Examples of regulated industries are financial services through FINRA regulations and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; the health industry through HIPAA and the HITECH Act; and Department of Defense contractors through DFARS. This column will not address them specifically, although it will address them through analogies. However, just because a business is not within a regulated industry, it does not mean that other regulations do not apply.
The Florida Data Protection Act applies to all Florida businesses and requires a modicum of protection of personal information and creates a data breach notification protocol. Nevertheless, this Act does little to create general privacy controls and to protect consumer data that does not fall within the meanings of "personal information." It also does not create a private cause of action. This does not mean that Florida is the unregulated "Wild West," because any Florida business may be subject to the General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union if it does business with Europeans or other duties that may arise by contract or out of tort. It is, therefore, best practice to incorporate best cybersecurity policies and protocols.
As for regulation in the United States – it is coming. The California Consumer Privacy Act prescribes a series of data privacy requirements that will be the strictest in the country by far when it comes into effect in 2020. It not only asserts jurisdiction to companies doing business in California but also over those who do business with Californians. It is much easier to bring someone under the jurisdiction of a California court than it is under the European Union. Additionally, U.S. Congress is considering federal law that may preempt state law and provide a regulatory regime for everyone. In fact, the Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing on the topic on February 27. This column aims to keep the readers abreast of exactly these types of issues and updates on proposed legislation.
Please note: the information provided here is for general educational purposes only and should not be used in lieu of obtaining competent legal advice from a licensed attorney and/or cybersecurity professional with the sufficient expertise necessary to address your organization's specific needs.

If you are the proud owner of a Lamborghini then you'll know just how special the Lamborghini brand is.

The trouble was it was spring. In the spring they went through the dumpsters in the alley. My neighbor, I can't remember if it was my neighbor or my friend, he put eggshells in his potted plants. Then, the light was longer. I looked for the late light in the sky, the blue going red, and saw wires above the tracks. I don't have to tell you that the kids were out, most of them with their drawing pads, or at least most of the ones I saw. I had been reading for so long. When you look up from a drawing, when you've been drawing, is the building made of lines the way the streetlamp is a sentence? Carlyle said of Johnson something Boswell couldn't say. I walked by the tree. It was in flower. If you could call them flowers. I didn't know its name. What was the difference. It was their century. All of us were wrong.

Exhaust Upgrade - Runnin' On Fumes
Exhaust Upgrade For Power
Engines. Never has there been a more simple air pump built, modified, and blown up. Sure, we like to think of our engines as more than an air pump, but let's face it, it pulls air in and pushes air out. Now, the efficiency of that air pump-in this case, we will say the pump displaces 440 ci and is in a Road Runner-is directly related to how well the surrounding components allow that air to flow through the pump. If you have a small inlet (carburetor) that flows 650 cfm, the air pump is going to starve. Let's say you have a larger inlet, 850 cfm. It will not starve due to more intake volume, but what if the pump's outlet is not properly sized? Let's say your 440-inch air pump has an 850-cfm inlet, but each of the outlets is only 151/48-inch in diameter. Let's go even farther, and say each of these eight outlets travels and merges into a single 2-inch outlet that has bends and a noise suppression device in the mix. The pump will be able to bring in air, but not expel it. This will cause the pump to not be able to pull in a large amount of air, and hamper it pumping to its full capabilities. This problem is called backpressure.
When it comes to an exhaust system, backpressure typically reduces performance. Backpressure on the exhaust flow can help to reduce sound, but at the same time, it limits engine power. This power reduction comes from an inefficient burn in the combustion chamber, where spent exhaust gasses are backed up into the combustion chamber and contaminate the next burn cycle.
Another problem associated with backpressure is heat buildup. Heat builds up in the muffler, and then continues up through the entire exhaust system to the exhaust manifold and engine. This heat retention causes damage to the muffler, the system tubing, the manifold, and the gaskets. Even ignition wires can burn up due to an overheated, inefficient exhaust system.
Our Project M/Holley Road Runner has recently been the recipient of a new air pump. This air pump, built by Indy Cylinder Head, is rather large. The initial exhaust system featured a small "gas expulsion system" (exhaust), and definitely needed some upsizing. Since the car is in the capable hands of Musclecar Restorations in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and they have a new state of the art Mustang chassis dynamometer, we decided to show you the effects. Thanks to Tube Technologies (tti), we were able to display the increase in horsepower by increasing air-pump efficiency.
Exhaustive ResearchChoosing The Right ExhaustChoosing the right muffler and exhaust system may seem like an easy task, and it is, provided you are honest with yourself about what your exhaust will need to be capable of. If you aren't sure about the parameters required, it can be one of the most power-robbing decisions you can make. the choice is so frustrating because of the variety of options available, and the fact that no one can ever agree on which muffler is the best.
Things to ConsiderIs your motor going to have performance add-ons?
With a stock engine, it is advisable to keep the same size piping that came from the factory. If you choose a large diameter pipe in this application, a loss of low-end torque will occur. For a mild/moderate performance engine, a larger than factory size pipe will allow for better performance. Also look for a muffler that has great free flowing characteristics.
For a true performance engine, a true free flowing exhaust will be needed. It is best to contact the exhaust manufacturer and get their recommendations.
Will you have a crossover pipe?
For those running a true dual setup, a crossover pipe is also an option. An H-pipe or X-pipe is used to equalize the pressure in the pipes. Several tests have been done, and it is the consensus that a true X-pipe system will out perform a traditional H-pipe configuration.
Sounding OffIf you're running on the street, or in many racing series, you need mufflers. They also come in handy during long drives when the drone of the exhaust can be downright exhausting. But which muffler should you choose? It depends on your taste, your engine, and the space available on your vehicle. You also need to consider how you use that vehicle. A muffler can be used to tune your engine's power band so it makes more peak power (a good goal if you're drag racing or hitting the Autobahn), or more midrange torque (preferable if you're road racing or driving on the street). By its nature, a muffler also will have a profound impact on the way your vehicle sounds. Often, you can find several mufflers that provide comparable performance for your application, but one is quiet, one is loud, and yet another may be somewhere in between. Hi-performance mufflers offer some other advantages over stock units, as well. For starters, most high-performance models will last considerably longer, some even come with a lifetime or million-mile warranty. Performance mufflers can also improve your vehicle's fuel economy by helping the engine become more efficient.
A Sound DesignA muffler's purpose is to muffle the noise produced by the engine. When it comes to high-performance mufflers, there are essentially three designs: cancellation, absorption, and diffusion. A cancellation muffler features chambers inside, which tune and cancel various sound frequencies. An absorption muffler forces the exhaust to pass through a perforated tube that is wrapped in sound-deadening material. Various kinds of packing material are used to absorb sound, including fiberglass ("glasspack"), stainless steel mesh, and ceramic products. Absorption mufflers often feature a straight-through design. Some hybrid models, including "turbo muffler" designs, also use cancellation-style chambers to help muffle sound. A diffusion muffler uses diffuser plates at the muffler's end to split up the sound so it follows many different paths. Adding or subtracting diffuser plates can tune the sound coming out of this type of muffler. (Contrary to what you might imagine, you get a quieter exhaust system by running fewer discs.) Some hybrid diffuser mufflers also use absorption material to reduce decibel levels even further.

Chen Voted out of Committee0
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 17, 2011) – Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee once again recommended Judge Edward M. Chen for a federal judgeship. Members of the committee voted 10-8 on a party line vote, with all Democrats voting in support of Judge Chen's nomination and all Republicans opposing. Leaders of the Asian Pacific American community renewed their call for the full Senate to confirm Judge Chen without additional delay.
"Judge Chen is eminently well-qualified to serve as a U.S. District Court judge, and we urge the Senate to give him the up-or-down vote that he rightly deserves," said Paul O. Hirose, president of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association. "Judge Chen has a 10-year track record as a federal magistrate judge, broad bipartisan support from law enforcement, the judiciary, and the legal community, and an exceptional commitment to the Asian Pacific American community. He is an outstanding nominee, and needless to say is long overdue a confirmation vote before the Senate."
Judge Chen has waited longer than any other judicial nominee for a confirmation vote. He was originally nominated to a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Aug. 6, 2009. The full Senate neglected to hold an up-or-down vote for Chen before the conclusion of the 111th Congress in December 2010. As anticipated, in January 2011, President Obama renominated Judge Chen and 41 other judicial nominees who also did not get confirmation votes last year. The seat that he has been nominated to is classified as a "judicial emergency."
"Now that Judge Chen has been voted out of committee, the full Senate must finally take up his confirmation and hold a vote," said Karen K. Narasaki, president and executive director of the Asian American Justice Center."This exceptional nominee was first nominated over a year and a half ago, and it is mission critical to the administration of justice and the health of our courts that nominees like Judge Chen get timely votes and that judicial vacancies with pending nominees not be allowed to be left unfilled. The American people deserve true access to justice, and our judicial nominees should not be forced to live in limbo."
Hirose and Narasaki applaud President Obama for nominating Judge Chen to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and thank California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer for their continued support of his nomination.
The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) is the national association of Asian Pacific American attorneys, judges, law professors and law students. NAPABA represents the interests of over 40,000 attorneys and 61 local Asian Pacific American bar associations. Its members represent solo practitioners, large firm lawyers, corporate counsel, legal service and non-profit attorneys, and lawyers serving at all levels of government. NAPABA continues to be a leader in addressing civil rights issues confronting Asian Pacific American communities. Through its national network of committees and affiliates, NAPABA provides a strong voice for increased diversity of federal and state judiciaries, advocates for equal opportunity in the workplace, works to eliminate hate crimes and anti-immigrant sentiment, and promotes professional development of minorities in the legal profession.

Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Danny Kirwan passed away on June 8. He was 68.
No details of his death were immediately available.
The news of his demise was acknowledged in a statement by the music group's founding drummer Mick Fleetwood on Facebook.
"Danny was a huge force in our early years. His love for the Blues led him to being asked to join Fleetwood Mac in 1968, where he made his musical home for many years.
"Danny's true legacy, in my mind, will forever live on in the music he wrote and played so beautifully as a part of the foundation of Fleetwood Mac, that has now endured for over fifty years," Fleetwood wrote on the social networking site.
Born in London on May 13, 1950, Kirwan's greatest success came with his role as guitarist, singer and songwriter with the blues rock band Fleetwood Mac between 1968 and 1972.
His work featured in albums such as 'Then Play On', 'Blues Jam at Chess', 'Kiln House', 'Future Games ' and 'Bare Trees'.
Kirwan was fired from the band in 1972, reportedly due to alcoholism and the sour interpersonal relationships within the group.
He remained active briefly, recording unsuccessful three solo albums for the British label DJM in between 1975 and 79. His recording career ended at that point. His alcoholism and struggles with mental health left him homeless for several years.
The musician was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with his bandmates in 1998.
Divorced, Kirwan is survived by a son.

Noel Regney, who helped write the beloved Christmas song ''Do You Hear What I Hear?'' died last Sunday in Brewster, N.Y. He was 80.
He wrote the seasonal standard with Gloria Shayne, then his wife, in 1962. It was recorded by Bing Crosby and Perry Como, among others, in more than 120 versions, in musical styles ranging from jazz and New Age to funk and reggae.
But Mr. Regney wrote it as a clear and plaintive plea for peace at the time of the Cuban missile crisis, in October 1962. His favorite version was Robert Goulet's. When Mr. Goulet came to the line ''Pray for peace, people, everywhere,'' he almost shouted the words.
''I am amazed that people can think they know the song -- and not know it is a prayer for peace,'' Mr. Regney said in an interview in The New York Times in 1985. ''But we are so bombarded by sound and our attention spans are so short that we now listen only to catchy beginnings.''
Mr. Regney was drafted into the Nazi army despite being a Frenchman. He soon deserted and joined a group of French resistance fighters. While still with the Germans, he once intentionally led his platoon toward a group of French partisans and was shot, his stepdaughter, Patricia Spiegel, said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Mr. Regney was born in Strasbourg, France, and studied at conservatories in Strasbourg, Salzburg and Paris. War interrupted his education in classical music.
After the war, he was musical director of the Indochinese Service of Radio France from 1948 to 1950 and worked as director of the Lido nightclub in Paris. In 1951, he left France to take a world tour as musical director for the French singer Lucienne Boyer.
In 1952, he settled in Manhattan, working for early television shows as an arranger, composer and conductor. He also wrote radio jingles.
One day he wandered into the dining room of a Manhattan hotel and saw a beautiful woman playing popular music on the piano. He introduced himself, and in a month he was married to Ms. Shayne, according to ''Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas'' by Ace Collins (Zondervan, 2001).
The couple began writing songs, including ''Rain, Rain, Go Away,'' ''Sweet Little Darlin','' ''Goodbye, Cruel World'' and ''What's the Use of Crying,'' which were sung by Jo Stafford, Eddie Fisher, James Darren, Bobbie Vinton, Danny Kaye, Doris Day and Marlene Dietrich, who sang Mr. Regney's ''Another Day, Another Love.''
With Soeur Sourire, known as the Singing Nun, Mr. Regney wrote ''Dominique,'' a hit song in 1963. He also wrote other Christmas songs, mainly with Ms. Shayne, including ''I Sing Noël'' and ''Three Wise Men, Three.''
''Do You Hear What I Hear?'' had its origin when Mr. Regney was asked to write the flip side of a single that was expected to become a hit, according to an interview he gave in The Ridgefield Press in Connecticut.
He wrote the lyrics, based on his vision of a newborn lamb. He handed it to his wife and asked her to write the tune, the reverse of their usual procedure. She was shopping at Bloomingdale's when she thought of the first music line.
The finished version of the song moved the two creators so much that at first they could not sing it. ''It broke us up,'' she said in the interview with The Ridgefield Press.
Regent Publishing Company bought the song after the flip-side deal fell through. The Harry Simeon Chorale recorded it, and it sold more than 250,000 copies in a week. Bing Crosby's version in 1963 sold more than a million copies.
The couple moved to Ridgefield in 1969 and were divorced several years later. Mr. Regney later lived in South Salem, Bethel and, most recently, Danbury, all in Connecticut.
He is survived by his wife, Susan Petrie Spiegel-Regney; two sons, Matthieu, of Bethel, and Paul, of Bangkok; a daughter, Gabrielle Regney, of the Bronx; a stepdaughter, Patricia Spiegel, of Danbury; a brother and a sister who both live in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France; and two grandchildren.

The maiden edition of the Seraphim Media Summit held last weekend at Seraph Land, Maba, Ogun State, was a leap for leaders and member of the Cherubim & Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria, as the event exposed the church at large to the value of the media as a vital tool to project the image of the church positively, as well as a means to propagate the gospel through the emerging technology.
The summit was graced by top media professionals who also spoke at the summit. They included CEO Ovation magazine, Chief Dele Momodu; Group Controller, Public and Current Affairs of TV Continental, Mr Babajide Otitoju and Mr Biodun Duroyaiye.
Other dignitaries of the church from all walks of life including the wife of the Ooni of Ife, Evangelist Naomi Ogunwusi, were also at the event.
In her address, the Founder of Love of Christ Generation, London, Reverend Mother Esther Ajayi, said that the mission of C&S was to renew the church's image and address the wrong impression about the church.
"This summit is important because we live in a world that is changing. We are called all sorts of names by people. Even people who come to us for help tarnish our image in the daylight. But like other denominations, we all have our shortcomings and humans will always be humans," she said.
She also stated that the founder of the church was never a cultist, adding that "the church will continue to remain the envy of others, as it is the only indigenous church that doesn't have any western influence. Our late founder was not a cultist but he was feared by cultists. When I met with Pastor Enoch Adeboye recently, he said his late mother was always saying that fetish people feared C&S because they knew they were powerful."
She urged the media to be free and fair when reporting C&S, just as she cautioned actors and actresses to stop projecting the white-garment church in a bad light and that members must also avoid dragging the name of the church into disrepute.
The Supreme Head, Cherubim & Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria, Prophet Solomon Alao, commended the organisers of the summit, just as he described the progammes as an eye-opener to the lapses in the church and the need to make use of the media to project the image of the church within Nigeria and beyond.
He said: "With all the church has done to provide spiritual and physical supports for humanity, it is unbelievable that many take joy in tagging the church in ungodly manner, which negates the essence of the church. We are pleading with them to fear God. I admit that we have a few bad eggs among us, but this is not peculiar to our church alone."
In her remarks, Ogunwusi revealed her love for the church, adding that "despite the fact that I was born and raised in a Bible-believing church, whenever I preached as a young girl, they said I sounded like a member of the C&S. It was strange to the church I worshipped. They said I preached like the people from C&S. I thank you for bringing me here today because I have always wanted to be identified with the people they say I preach like. I love the church so much and I will always speak for you anywhere."
She, however, advised members to shun unnecessary criticisms, saying that it was a deliberate act by certain people to ridicule all the church stood for.
"I rejoice with the church today because of the foundation. When I wanted to learn about indigenous men of God, the first person that came to my mind was the late founder of the church, Moses Orimolade. I want you to know that you are a beautiful brand regardless of what people say about you. You have a beautiful mark of identification. With your white garment, you don't need any further introduction to anyone," she added.
In his speech, Momodu, charged the church to sustain a cordial relationship with the media in all areas as it will give the church an edge. He also advised the church to embrace the social media in propagation of gospel.

We have seen Gefen Wireless HDMI Extender two years back and now here is a new refresh if you are looking for an upgrade to a much powerful wireless transmission device. Being designed to run on 60GHz high bandwidth, the HDMI capable wireless extender can deliver a full uncompressed 1080p HD (High Definition) media streaming at 60Hz and display it on LCD TV in digital home.
Similar to other wireless extender, the kit consists of a pair of sender and receiver whereby the sender will be fed with video/audio source and on the other end, the receiver will be able to receive media streaming wirelessly and those uncompressed contents can be decoded and displayed on LCD TV without quality loss. Thanks to its advanced high-frequency radio technology running at 60GHz that can support gigabit data transmission compliant to HDMI v1.3 together with 8-channel digital audio.
The advantage is obvious – users will no longer need to worry about setting up and running long cables all over the place. Instead, they just need to position the transmitter and receiver at right location (with line of sight in ideal case) so that the media contents can be streamed wirelessly with up to 30 feet coverage radius. That is not all, the simple plug-and-play installation is even suitable for non-tech savvy and can be done in minutes without complicated setup and wall drilling involved.
As expected, it doesn't come cheap in price and consumers will have to pay $999 just to add this wireless HDMI extender in digital home. Anyway, the hassle and cost of wall hacking and cables mounting could easily cost more than that especially when the whole process is ad-hoc and un-planned.

Organised by the Sabah Four Wheel Drive Association, South East Asia's biggest extreme offroading event with over 500 participants and 200 vehicles convoy in 2012 is back with another exciting year promising more fun and adventure for participants from the October 27th till November 3rd this year.
From October 25th to 27th, 2013, the 2nd Borneo Outdoor Show 2013 will be held at Dataran Bandaraya in the heart of Kota Kinabalu city fronting the South China Sea.
The locations is ideal for the public and tourist at large to visit the show and at the same time witness the largest convoy of Borneo Safari 4WD vehicles, more than 250 of them during the flagging of ceremony on the November 27th, 2013. This year's show will most definitely attract even more outdoor enthusiast, members of the public and curious tourist by the accessible of its location.
The convoy this year will spend 8 days conquering the extreme highland terrains of the Trus Madi Forest Reserve, located 70 kms away from Kota Kinabalu and is bordered by three districts – Ranau up North, Tambunan on the West, Keningau down South, and Sook in the East. The forest reserve is classified as a Class 1 Forest Reserve and it covers 184,527 hectares of land. Standing within the reserve at 2,642 meters (8,668 feet) tall, Mount Trus Madi is the second highest mountain in Sabah and Malaysia after Mount Kinabalu but offer a tougher challenge for adventure seekers compared to Mount Kinabalu.
