HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Nationwide, this flu season is being called one of the worst on record since 2009, and Hawaii health experts say the state is already seeing a spike in cases here at home.
Doctors at The Queen's Medical Center say the emergency room has been packed.
"We're very busy. I think most of the hospitals in Honolulu have been very busy to the point at times we we're stretched. The ERs on Oahu were closed to ambulances periodically and most of this is related to increased flu activity," said Dr. Rick Bruno, who works in the emergency department at Queen's.
Bruno says the surge in flu cases came suddenly.
"Most of the flu symptoms we're seeing are classic: cough, fevers, body aches, fatigue, and tends to complicate underlying medical conditions," said Bruno.
Forty-six states, including Hawaii, have already reported widespread flu activity to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While the flu has already been linked to tens of thousands of hospitalizations on the mainland -- even a dozen deaths -- the state Health Department says it's still too soon to know exactly what the impact will be like here at home.
The state's epidemiologist says Hawaii will typically start to see more cases in the coming weeks.
"Right after the holidays is generally around the time we start to see pickup in activity," said Dr. Sarah Park, state epidemiologist.
Health experts say this year's dominant strain of flu called H3N2 is unfortunately one of the nastiest because it tends to cause severe illness in people and historically vaccines have not been as effective against the strain.
Park still urges residents to get the vaccine because she says some protection is better than none.
"Even with challenges around flu vaccine, it's still your best method of prevention and definitely for those who are at risk for severe illness," Park said.
Other ways you can help prevent the spread of the flu -- diligently wash your hands and stay at home if you are sick.

Christopher Bailey presented an awesome collection for Burberry Prorsum that was part prairie, part Gothic, part Victorian bag lady. It was super dark and sombre, yet at the same time totally youthful.
He brought the hemlines down to right below the knee, with flowing, dirndl skirts coming out of slim and shrunken bodices. Refreshing after all the bandage dress bullshit, no? The white dresses with the gray tights and crazy platform sneaker booties are so simple, yet perfect. I wish I could describe them better, they are sort of baby doll, but not really. My costume history is failing me right now. And I love the felted wool cowls with the heavy sweaters, I just cant imagine how ginormous they were before they were felted. The fur cowls are lined in the Burberry plaid, it's a nice ode to classic Burberry.
Check out these crazy shoes. Crazy.

Bathroom tiles are one of those beautiful and drool-worthy elements that are versatile and have the power to transform any bathroom into a stunning sanctuary.
If you're renovating to sell, to add some value to your home or simply to give it a facelift, experts agree that there are two key rooms to focus on – the kitchen and the bathroom.
Bathroom floor tiles and wall tiles have a major impact on the overall look and feel of the space and so it's important to choose wisely.
Watch now: 6 bathroom reno lessons
But walk into any tile showroom and the choice can be overwhelming, so what do you need to know to help you make the right decision?
"I usually recommend a timeless, classic approach. Bathrooms are messy and expensive to renovate so choose an aesthetic that you won't get tired of for at least the next 10 years," says Diana Ribarevski, head of interior design at Coco Republic.
"Consider the architecture of your home. If you have a modern home, choose a modern tile. If you have a period home, choose a traditional tile."
Take a peek at this gorgeous renovated inner-city terrace and get inspired by the bathroom tiles:
Best tiles for bathroom waterproofing
Bathrooms are becoming an extension of the rest of the home. So, rather than opt for floor-to-ceiling tiles that scream 'bathroom', think about only tiling areas that need to be waterproofed, for example around baths, showers and behind basins.
"Use textured paint or polished plaster in other areas to link the bathroom to the rest of the house," suggests Kate Burchell, interior designer at Techne in Melbourne.

White bathroom tile ideas
White bathroom tiles and soft grey tiles will forever remain timeless in the bathroom. Tip: Choose tiles with a softer tone and texture to create a less sterile effect in the space.
Look for white tiles with unique textures, warm finishes and small format tiling options.
3 modern bathroom tile designs
- Beige isn't boring: Beige tiles are making a comeback, so keep them in mind when you go to buy bathroom tiles.
- Earthy tones: Terracotta and subtle pinks make for one of the best bathroom tile design ideas. If you want serious impact, you can't beat blush-coloured tiles.
More from Lifestyle
- Coloured grout adds detail and texture: "Are you contrasting or blending? If you want to minimise grout, don't choose a handmade tile as they have rough edges and some parts will have more grout visible," says Diana.
Marble tile bathroom
Textured finishes avoid a 'sterile' effect, so think of natural materials like stone, marble and hand-glazed ceramic tiles.
Or opt for tiles with a fleck or vein through them and choose a matte finish instead of gloss tiles.
Small bathroom tile design
Small bathrooms suit small format tiles, such as mosaic bathroom floor tiles, says Diana. But keep tiles fresh and simple in muted tones so they don't overwhelm a small space.
Read more: Small bathroom designs
3 bathroom tile inspiration tips
- Tiles can be laid in herringbone, basket weave or chevron designs for impact.
- Bigger bathrooms can take larger, wide tiles or slabs. "Large format porcelain tiles and slabs (120cm x 120cm or 150cm x 300cm x 6mm thick) with a stone-look appearance are new to the market. They provide the luxurious effect of stone, but with the durable and lightweight benefits of porcelain," says Diana. Large tiles require a highly-skilled tiler so are more expensive to lay. "Natural stone tiles are also heavier and harder to work with so cost more to lay."
- Natural stone and concrete tiles are harder to maintain whereas porcelain and ceramic bathroom tiles are low maintenance.
Need help and advice on how to clean your bathroom tiles and grout? Fear not: We have compiled easy steps and tips here for you to follow.

Diaz Jr. urges father Diaz Sr. to apologize after Johnson calls out comments
NEW YORK (1010 WINS/AP) – Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. says his father Council Member Ruben Diaz Sr. should apologize over comments he made that were called out as "homophobic" by Speaker Corey Johnson and others.
Diaz made the controversial comments during an interview with a Spanish language radio show geared towards cab drivers.
He said when he got to the City Council he realized it is "controlled by the homosexual community."
Diaz, a Pentecostal minister who opposes same-sex marriage, reportedly added that Johnson is "a homosexual married to another man."
Johnson is openly gay, but he is not married. And he's demanding an apology.
In a statement, Johnson's spokesperson says the comments by Diaz are offensive.
"Council Member Diaz Sr.'s homophobic comments are offensive to both the Speaker and the body, and have no place in New York City," spokesperson Jennifer Fermino wrote. "He should apologize to all of his colleagues, and the entire LGBTQ community."
On Twitter Saturday, Diaz Sr. wrote: "What's homophobic about saying that the gay community controls the nyc city council ? I'm giving them credit for the power and influence they have."

Diaz's son, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., responded to the controversy too.
On Twitter Saturday, Diaz Jr. wrote that his father should apologize and that "NYC is a place where we celebrate our diversity and inclusivity."
NYC is a place where we celebrate our diversity and inclusivity. The LGBTQ community is unequivocally an essential voice in our City. @revrubendiaz's sentiments are antagonistic, quarrelsome and wholly unnecessary. He should apologize.— Ruben Diaz Jr. (@rubendiazjr) February 9, 2019

This seminar was all about know what shape of business you want to create.
The norm in business is to allow business to grow 'organically', ie without a plan. This is because the alternative requires thought and time. Whilst allowing things to grow organically can work, we all know the statistics for business that fail and we probably all know business owners who become slaves to the needs of their business working all hours.
The first aspect we looked at was creating and inspiring or exciting vision for the business, including what is being created with the business and what is the business allows us to do in the rest of our lives.
We then considered the four roles we might end up with in business – on the tools, manager, managing director or chairman. We looked at what financial model our business will have and finally our exit strategy whether selling, gifting or closing the business.
More than previous seminars, this was an opportunity for participants to take part in a workshop to start applying some of this planning to their own businesses.
Sadly numbers were down but value experienced by those who attended was the highest yet – 10/10 scored for overall value.
Comments included:
"You might think you are going to explore your finance and business, and Crunchers seminars give you the space and guidance to do just that. Don't be surprised if you also explore the bigger picture of your life, how you spend time, and how to create a business that works, and works for you. I would highly recommend these seminars for anyone willing to explore what's possible in business and how to get there."
"Helped immensely breaking a big goal into small manageable steps."
"I find these seminars very helpful and focusing. Powerful material clearly delivered. Workshop content with other business people was very useful and great networking without pressure."
"Very useful and thought provoking"

The Idea Gym: Breaking the Barrier Between Work and Play
Conventional wisdom tells you that work and play have to be separated.
New Leaf Initiative is throwing conventional wisdom to the wind with its new Idea Gym.
It's a room within a room, a brainstorming mechanism disguised as a workplace playground.
The Idea Gym, which New Leaf unveiled within its municipal building entrepreneurial co-working space, is simple in practice. Six semi-transparent blue boards hang from the ceiling, cordoning off a corner of the room.
The boards include Jessica Menold's own version of the design thinking process based on how she teaches it in her mechanical engineering courses at Penn State. Menold is a graduate student with a focus on entrepreneurship, and the Idea Gym is her own fun but serious space from startups to solve problems.
"All of these are prompts to get you to brainstorm faster and more efficiently so you can come up with better solutions," Menold said at the unveiling. "It's based on the design thinking process, which is all about understanding your user, where they're coming from, and what type of things they want."
Menold had a big smile on her face as she ran the small crowd through the process, using a young girl named Khalilah who's interested in coding but thinks it's too nerdy as an example. The process includes things like listing all your worst ideas just to get them out of the way.
"Ideally it feels like a game when you go through this space, and hopefully you'll see that if you ever come and use it," she said.
Panoramic photo of Idea Gym by Zach Berger/StateCollege.com
"What's striking to me is how much it looks like and is play," one audience member said. "And there's a lot worse things your work can be."
The Idea Gym is using innovative techniques for things like basic brainstorming. Typically, a brainstorming session is thought of as a practice in teamwork, but Menold said going solo while racking your brain for ideas is much better method.
"There's been a lot of research in team dynamics that show when you brainstorm by yourself you actually get richer and more diverse ideas," she said. "There tends to be one person dominating brainstorming sessions when you do it as a team. So your ideas are a lot deeper and more varied if you break off and brainstorm solo and then come back together as a team."
The last step of the Idea Gym involves making a prototype, preferably through the most rudimentary means available, like some of the Play-Doh available at New Leaf or by drawing out a graphical interface on a piece of paper. If you spend hours and hours making a prototype and ask someone for an opinion, Menold said, they might feel pressured to offer positive criticisms.
That method works for even the largest products for the most successful tech companies out there. Google, for example, used a quick prototyping process to make important changes to Google Glass, a wearable computer device with an optical head-mounted display, according to New Lead executive director Galen Bernard.
"When Google Glass was first coming out, the lead designer built a prototype in 45 minutes. It was basically a backpack, fishing wire, and goggles," he said. "It allowed the user to test it and they immediately got feedback just from that quick prototype, and they found that people don't like having their arms above their shoulders. They initially thought there would be a lot of swiping, and just through some fishing wire and ski goggles they found that people don't like that and they get tired."
New Leaf is open to the public from 5 to 9 p.m., Monday to Thursday. You can stop by and check out the Idea Gym yourself on the third floor of the municipal building.

Effect of stock splits on stock prices for companies listed at the Nairobi securities exchange
Ojow, Maurice
MetadataShow full item record
A stock split occurs when a company's board of directors authorizes issuing additional shares to existing shareholders. Each shareholder receives new shares in proportion to the shares already owned. The overall value of the outstanding shares does not change, but the value of individual shares goes down in proportion to the number of new shares issued. There are theories that explain why companies undertake stock splits such as signaling hypothesis, optimal tick size hypothesis and optimal price range hypothesis. Some arguments have been that stock splits are no more than a cosmetic accounting change with no direct costs or benefits. However despite these stock splits still remain a common occurrence implying that that there must be some benefit either real or perceived, that result from a firm splitting its stock. This study sought to determine the effects of stock splits on stock prices for companies listed at the NSE. This study employed an event study methodology where the effect of stock split on share price was investigated for a period of 60 days in pre and post stock split date. The study covered the period between 2004 and 2014 with a sample size of eleven companies out of fifteen that had split their shares in that period. Secondary data collected from NSE on the daily stock prices of the eleven companies for 30 day pre-split period and 30 day post-split period. Coefficient of variation to measure the price volatility for the two periods-pre-split period and post-split period was calculated to determine the stock price behavior during the presplit and post-split periods. The stocks were found to be unstable in the pre-split periods but were stable in the post-split period. Stock prices were also found to be high in the presplit period and low in the post-split period. This study concludes that split brought prices down and stabilized stock prices in the NSE.

A symbol of joy and prosperity, red is an essential element of Chinese New Year. To celebrate this important festival in the Chinese tradition, agnès b. presents a special collection entitled "le rouge" exclusively at IFC agnès b. LA LOGGIA bis store. It features a variety of iconic items in red to infuse new year outfits with French minimalism, to ensure you welcome the new year with a smart look.
How to create a festive atmosphere without being excessive? The secret lies in simple design which works in harmony with the vibrant red. "le rouge" reveals a range of classic items: the versatile red x white striped tee in different widths allows multiple styling options, apart from creating a casual look with a pair of jeans. For men, create a dandy style with a suit or dare to be playful with a suspender and rolled pants. For ladies, a mid-length jacket and pencil skirt are all you need to look clean and slim with the striped tee. A special edition print tee with agnès b.'s name in Chinese is another key item. The Chinese stamp carving effect further adds an oriental accent and maximizes visual impact.
Another perfect combination of red, emblematic item goes to the snap cardigan which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2019. The red version snap cardigan is available in two choices: while gold snap buttons represent wealth, red snap buttons symbolize happiness and great fortune, both creating a joyful ambiance. It can be worn with high waist flared skirt for an elegant style, or with strap dress or dungaree to look adorable and stylish.
For Agnès, a piece of accessory is enough to enlighten the total look. For this reason, "Le Rouge" also offers a selection of red accessories, from the simple yet sophisticated leather handbag to the easy-to-carry beret with logo embroidery or belt, turning heads with a touch of rouge. Baseball caps, scarves and black x red striped socks make red become accessible to create a more refreshing new year look than ever.

Deion Sanders is adamant Jerry Jones does not have a racial bone in his body, despite video surfacing of the Dallas Cowboys owner making a racially-charged comment to a fan.
The Blast spoke with Sanders, who said he "won't cast judgment on one moment when a joke went south to capture who this man represents in a lifetime commitment of love and compassion to all ethnicities."
Sanders, who signed with the Cowboys in 1995 and led them to a Super Bowl championship, says, "Jerry does more for his players than anyone in the league, I don't think there's a player, whether African American or Caucasian, that would agree [the video] is a representation of Jerry."
As we previously reported, Jones made the comment to a fan in 2013 after the man asked the NFL team owner to tape a message for his wife or fiancée. Jones said, "Jennifer, congratulations on the wedding. Now, you know he's with a black girl tonight, don't you?"
The NFL star also posed the question, "If I made the same joke to another ethnicity, would we be as bothered?"
Sanders says any negative reaction to the video is due to the current political and racial climate in the country, saying, "It's a very sensitive time for our country, it's easy for us to jump to conclusions based on the climate of the time."

Leila ends up on the Island of Eden, in the company of her favorite author, who will guide her as she learns to write romance from the heart. There appear to be no other guests...until Sebastion shows up. Is he real though? Or a figment of Leila's imagination? As Leila writes from the heart, she also comes into herself as the passionate woman she is. When what she writes starts coming to life is it the magic of the Island of Eden? A realistic fantasy? Or has being on Eden helped Leila to find what she's always been looking for?
Escape From Reality is the only book I've read so far in the Invitation to Eden series and though it was not at all what I expected, I found Escape From Reality to be unique, captivating, and hot! Whether or not what Leila is experience is real or imagined, her charater is realistic and the feelings she has are easy to relate to.
Adriana is very creative in her writing in Escape From Reality, with a great pace to a story that will take you on an unexpected adventure. I love the setting of Eden, I can really picture it in my mind, smell the air, feel and hear the water. This makes Escape From Reality all the more enjoyable, and truly a great place to escape to.
I'd recommend Escape From Reality by Adriana Hunter to any romance reader who likes romance, fantasty and heat!

text: ernesttx 5 Posted June 10, 2009 After several months of development, I have finally finished the new website design. It will allow for quicker upload and showcase for animations, as well as, hopefully better quality of video. Working on trying to get the video player and selection system in place was the biggest hurdle. Now that the website is out of the way, I have resumed production on Episode 9. I have about 2 minutes of it finished. Also, several other video projects are finished that will free up more time for animating. I hope the new site is a bit easier to navigate and enjoy. Thank you all for being patient and all the words of encouragement. Ok, back to animating. www.animace.biz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WASHINGTON � The Supreme Court decided Friday not to consider reinstating the government�s $550,000 fine on CBS for Janet Jackson�s infamous breast-baring �wardrobe malfunction� at the 2004 Super Bowl.
The high court refused to hear an appeal from the Federal Communications Commission over the penalty.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals twice had thrown out the fine. The second time came after the Supreme Court upheld the FCC�s policy threatening fines against even one-time uses of curse words on live television.
The appeals court said FCC�s policy of excusing fleeting instances of indecent words and images appeared to change without notice in March 2004, a month after Jackson�s halftime act. The judges said that made the agency�s action against CBS �arbitrary and capricious.�
But now, the FCC clearly has abandoned its exception for fleeting expletives, Chief Justice John Roberts said.
�It is now clear that the brevity of an indecent broadcast � be it word or image � cannot immunize it from FCC censure,� he said. �Any future �wardrobe malfunctions� will not be protected on the ground relied on by the court below.�
LAS VEGAS � O.J. Simpson�s lawyer wants the Nevada Supreme Court to order the Las Vegas district attorney�s office off the former football star�s bid for release from state prison.
Appeals lawyer Patricia Palm filed an appeal this week asking the high court to overrule a state court judge�s decision earlier this month in Las Vegas.
That judge ruled Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson wouldn�t benefit from the outcome of a claim that Simpson�s lawyers did a bad job at trial in 2008.
Palm argues that because Wolfson is married to the judge who handled Simpson�s trial, Wolfson has a financial and emotional interest in the outcome.
Wolfson was named DA this year.
His wife, former Judge Jackie Glass, resigned after the Simpson trial to star in a syndicated court TV show.
SAN JOSE, Calif. � William Lynch testified Friday that he punched the priest he accuses of molesting him after memories of the alleged sexual abuse came flooding back across the decades and were so vivid that he felt threatened.
Lynch is on trial in San Jose after pleading not guilty to one count of assault and one count of elder abuse.
While he is the defendant in Santa Clara County court, his lawyers are attempting to put the retired priest on trial in the court of public opinion. The attorneys are using the alleged abuse in 1975 as a defense for the pummeling of Jerold Lindner on May 10, 2010. Lynch testified Friday that memories of the alleged abuse triggered a violent reaction when he confronted the retired priest on that afternoon.
Lynch says he initially drove from his San Francisco home to the Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos, where the priest lives. The center is a home for retired priests, but also a residence for clergy accused of sexual improprieties.
Lynch testified that he didn�t intend to strike Lindner that day. Instead, he said he wanted to confront Lindner with a written confession of the alleged molestation that he wanted the priest to sign. The Catholic Church has paid out millions to settle lawsuits alleging Lindner sexually abused children, including Lynch when he was 7-years-old, but the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution expired before the allegations were made.
On Friday, Lynch said the priest �leered� at him �with the same look in his eyes� the priest had during the alleged molestation.
Lynch faces four years in prison if convicted. He earlier turned down an offer of a year in jail in exchange for a guilty plea.

Once all the villagers decided to pray for rain, on that day of prayer all the people in the village gathered, but only one boy came with an umbrella. That's Faith
When you throw a baby in the air, they laugh because they know you will catch them. That's Trust
Every night we go to bed, without any assurance of being alive the next morning but we still set the alarm to wake us up. That's Hope
We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future. That's Confidence:
We see the world suffering but we get married and have children. That's Love
On an old man's shirt was written a sentence. I am not 60 years old… I am sweet 16 with 44 years' experience. That's Attitude
Have a happy day, live your life like the six stories above.

My guess would be the first. I'm going to look like a nice chunk of Khaine poo, but i'll have 4 conq WHs behind me and I'll be giggling all the way to Karl Franz.
Another thing I'm concerned about is PJDSALFJAOGUEWAHGA8^&!*@(@&
Sorry had a nice little breakdown just thinking about it, how freaking sad will it be when we farm for eleven hours. And we don't even have 1/100 of the things to by the arm piece for it.
I hope the skaven land PVPVE thing will have the answers to give me my new gear.
I also wonder how annoying it will be at 99-100 to grind for a week and be 5% in.
RR 79-80 was like 500k. 99-100 is going to be hell.
What does Mr. 'Zanek think of all this?
Look! It's our party dinosaur! He has a cake!
Well! Mr. 'Zanek seems to think it's a good idea, before I could ask him why he thought it was a good idea
I got ported out of instance for afking while writing this post I forgot to!
Oh well, point being, mythic isn't giving us lawts of cookies. They're giving us none at all, all at the same time they're milking our money. I bet the expansion is hella expensive.
And now for poll results.
War RvR pack...
40% love it
5% think it's meh
35% hate it
20% Wha? RvR pack? I was to busy petting kittens

If someone believes that there are "vampire like beings" in actuality, then there, in my opinion, is something wrong.
I would have to go with quarks or tachyons, because of the implications of their existence, (or, for tachyons, the implications if they were proved to exist) as well as the nature of the particles; both pose interesting intellectual questions. Besides that, they are just really interesting.

Depends, but this is generally true. Scientist have animated things from shaking chemicals..... remember your 9th grade biology class?
Try this book: The Physics of Time by Richard A. Muller, it supports your theory and is really good. Also, you have a point.
Sadly, he might, if he doesn't get impeached in his first term.
If Christian values fall, the United States won't fall. For one, not everyone is Christian. Also, many of the values held by Christians are values held by everyone - or at least they should be. So yeah, America wouldn't fall, not by a long shot.
Technically, they do, if we want to ensure facts are facts, but if they are, it presents a chicken and the egg situation; the person checking the fact checkers needs to be checked, and so on and so forth
I think both are great, overall, but I have to say I am more fond of LOTR, though both have a great plot line, well-written characters, and just a great story overall.

- QLD Rego Checker – identifies oddballs like Liane's Nissan Figaro.
- Ride with GPS – the Figaro was in Woody Point, southern end of peninsula; purple = bikeways; red = my track.
- BOM Site – Bureau of Meteorology; nice to be 'cooled' by a breeze from the hot, dry continental interior. The weekend will be warmer.

Jon Pepper was delighted to see the Under-23s take all three points against Crewe Alexandra but admits his side made it difficult for themselves at times.
The Clarets led through two Dan Agyei goals but needed a fortunate winner from Tinashe Chakwana 15 minutes from the end to seal a 3-2 victory after seeing Crewe hit back to go into the break level.
"I think we made hard work of it at times by letting them back into the game, but I think the lads overall deserved the win and it was a good performance," said Academy Manager Pepper.
"It has happened a couple of times already this season, but it shows the lads have learnt how to keep themselves in the game and not let the performance drop and be affected by an error.
"The message at half-time was that we'd played well. We played well for 35 minutes before 10 minutes of madness just before the break.
"That gave Crewe a bit of energy and bit of belief that they could get back into the game, but we knew we had to come out the second-half the way we started the first and we did that."
Agyei set the Clarets on their way to a fourth win of the season in the Professional Development League with two goals in five minutes - one a header and the next an explosive finish from the edge of the box - to take his tally for the season to six.
And Pepper was happy to see the young striker getting a fitting reward for his efforts as Burnley, who included Steven Defour and Dwight McNeil in their starting line-up, got back to winning ways .
"He looks a great threat," Pepper added. "He has been in those positions quite a lot recently in games and on the training field.
"He scored a similar goal yesterday in training, as we had been practicing crossing and finishing so it was good to see, and he took them well."

Hello Readers! Welcome to Humor Nation. Since the world cup fever has been started and its drooling over the fans all over the world, but especially for Indians, this is like a festival that comes in every 4 years. People are going mad over it and what a great start by the Indian team, South Africa and Australia both teams lost and got on their knees. In this festival of ICC 2019, I would like to share some interesting facts about the ICC cricket world cup history:
Here are some of the interesting facts you may be unfamiliar about the World-cup:
1. The World cups of 1975, 1979 and 1983 were played 60 overs per team. Today's 50 overs match seems like a big inning to complete wherein the players are completely exhausted, just think about the matches in the past.
Also Read: 8 Unknown And Interesting Facts About Kiara Advani
2. Initially, all the matches of the Cricket World cup were held in England, but it was the first time in 1983 when the matches were held outside of England. Can you guess where? It was India and Pakistan (the pair of father and son).

IRVING, Texas (February 13, 2019)
Duhigg will address one of the insurance industry's greatest challenges: boosting growth and profitability while creating more-efficient workflows. He has written two books on the science of productivity, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, and Smarter Faster Better: The Transformative Power of Real Productivity.
Duhigg's research has centered on professionals, leaders and organizations that have "achieved success by focusing on the patterns that shape every aspect of our lives," he writes.
Mike Foy, chairman of NetVU, noted, "Absolutely everyone has habits they can improve. But as insurance professionals, eliminating our bad habits and forming good ones can positively impact our customers' experience. Charles Duhigg has studied and written about this very topic. All attendees at Accelerate will benefit from his compelling insights."
Writes Duhigg: "Put simply, 'productivity' is the name we give our attempts to figure out the best uses of our energy, intellect, and time as we try to seize the most meaningful rewards with the least wasted effort. It's a process of learning how to succeed with less stress and struggle ... getting things done without sacrificing everything we care about along the way."
Duhigg was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting focusing on Apple for the iEconomy series in The New York Times. His work also has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and The Atlantic.
With a degree in history from Yale and an MBA from Harvard Business School, Duhigg has appeared on weekly National Public Radio program/podcast This American Life, The Newshour with Jim Lehrer, and Frontline.

So right when I was starting this blog, switching from Blogger to WordPress, I also had this idea for a blog that would be a sort of daily showcase of the top blog posts that I found on the web every day. I put it on hold because I wanted to be a legit blogger for a while so people wouldn't think I was just trying to take advantage of other people's blog posts, but I still have the website name and hope to someday get it started.
So in that vein, I was thinking today I would just tell you a bit about some of my favorite blogs. I go through phases of keeping up with them and not keeping up with them, but they're pretty solid, as evidenced by their large readerships. So here goes!
Food Loves Writing – this is my friend Shanna's blog, she lives in Nashville and we were in a small group together for a while. She posts awesome recipes and writes wise words along with them. I'm never disappointed when I hop over there.
Kath Eats Real Food – a blog my friend Laura Lea told me about (she has a blog too!), apparently she was one of the first bloggers to record all of her meals online. She has great photography of yummy food, and now she has a baby so she's started a Baby Kerf blog, which I know will be helpful for me once I get closer to my little one's arrival! It's even helpful now, as she started the blog during her own pregnancy. Another food/fitness blogger is my friend Sara, you should check her out too.
Apartment Therapy – duh. This is just a great blog for home owners/renters/design lovers, and they post several times a day which is nice. Always feeding the addiction. It's nice too because they aren't always posting about huge expensive houses with outrageous accessories, it's a lot of real homes (and apartments–surprise!) that are designed by their owners, on their own dime, by gathering beloved pieces over the years, expensive, inexpensive, or free. Basically, it's about real people and where they live. Also Design Sponge is great.
Joy The Baker and Shutterbean – back when I had a job that allowed me to have headphones in 8 hours a day, I listened to these ladies on their podcast, and they are hilarious. They also both happen to have amazing food blogs with great photography. They are fun to read.
Young House Love – I have to say I haven't read this blog in a while, but I remembered it just a second ago and read back through some of the most recent posts and have already found some great DIY ideas that I pinned.
Style Me Pretty – I mean, why should I have to stop looking at pretty weddings once I'm already married? It's too hard to stop, so I'm not gonna.
I'm sure there are more that I'm missing, but that's all I'll tell you about for more. Hey, do you have any blogs you think I should add to my list? Particularly baby blogs! I really need a good baby design blog to give me awesome nursery ideas. K thanks!
Oh also, this:

Thx i had the same problem and your tip solved it
Posts made by Smolo
RE: [MMM-Remote-Control] Cannot GET /api
RE: new script to install/fix PM2 config for start on boot
I have now searched 2h where the problem lies and that with a fresh installation without deviations!
With your script it ran immediately Thank you very much.
RE: Need a Shower Mirror
With me everything is fogged up except the place where the display is the minimum warmth is enough to keep the fog away
White Pixel (Snow) with "xset -display :0 dpms force on/off"
with a fresh standard installation of Magic Mirror, dpms off worked very well to turn the display on and off.
After setting up the individual modules and configuration I now have the problem that white pixels are distributed across the screen like in the wild snow.
It used to work on two different displays and both now have the same problem?
Does anyone have an idea where I should start to look with the xset settings I have already played a lot around unfortunately without success.
RE: Installing on a Pi Zero
I've solved the problem and it's going crazy. After I tried with a portscanner to find out if there is anything running I found out that there is no port 8080 open.
If somebody has problems checking the logs via "pm2 logs MagicMirror --lines 1000
I missed the npm module "moment" under "/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment"!!!
Go to MagicMirror > "npm install" the problem was solved!
RE: Installing on a Pi Zero
First, as a supplement the installation is absolute standard except for another VNC server.
Chromium starts automaticly with http://localhost:8080
I have already tested the following constellations before my post.
the local ip (192.168.2.84:8080)
with https browser fault > "err_address_unreachable"
Other things :…
- ublock is inactive!
- Configuration vom MagicMirror Config:
var config = {
port: 8080,
address: "0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist: [],
- Test from another pc > "err_connection_refused"
RE: Installing on a Pi Zero
Thanks for the script and the hints so far
Unfortunately I am really frustrated after x installations. Currently everything is installed the autostart works but chrome says "err_connection_refused"!
Does anyone have an idea?

Sponsored Cycle Ride 2020- CANCELLED
Sadly, as with many things, this event has had to be cancelled. Miss Green has moved her sponsored cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats to July 2021. This means that once school restarts, there will be lots more time to do more cycle events and fund raisers. Once we have settled back into school, whenever that may be, we will start to plan and get out on our bikes again!

You wonder why I didn't blog last night. Well, the computer crashed. Not an electronic crash, but a physical crash. The table, which held the monitor, fell and broke, taking the input/output functions to the ground. That was late on Friday night. The next morning, I had to go to orchestra. Daddy, while I was out, reset the computer, albeit with a new, lighter, wide-screen monitor, which he bought at Best Buy along with a vacuum-cleaner. By 2pm in PG county, it was pouring and thundering at an unprecedented rate. That was when we had a bowling party a short 2-block drive to Parkland Bowl. Retro, let's say. We, however, completed only one game. I scored an 88, with a great spare+9 tenth frame.

The idea that software is eating the world has become a generally accepted dictum. Everywhere you look, industries and institutions are being disrupted by the unprecedented power of software. Now, the world is demanding a new way to develop software to keep pace with the pace of disruption. The greatest poster child for the brave new world of software-driven business is General Electric. In response to the changing needs of its customers and to fend off growing competition, GE is shifting its operations rapidly to a software-defined business.

"The Economist World Ocean Summit" in Half Moon Bay California at the end of February drew hundreds of attendees. A mix of global leaders, ocean luminaries, philanthropists, billionaires, the National Geographic Society and varied salt-water special interests ranging from shipping to BP, Chevron and Shell paid $2,000 or more each to attend. I, and The Economist's Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, called it "Davos for the Ocean," but I didn't mean that as a compliment.
That annual conclave of the world's wealthiest in the Swiss resort of Davos where they can be close to their money while tapping top experts for top-down solutions to the world's problems, has never struck me -- or the thousands of protestors who regularly turn out for it -- as a good strategy for social change.
Yet generating rapid, radical alternatives to how we use our world ocean is an urgent task given the cascading disasters of global overfishing, growing pollution, coastal degradation and climate change that threaten billions of people's food security, homes in high-risk coastal zones, social stability, even loss of basic ecosystem services like the more than half our oxygen generated by ocean plankton.
While I doubt solutions to these problems will come from Economist summit participants such as the World Bank or an industry-funded ocean council, I do find it hopeful that influential people and institutions are beginning to pay close attention.
"Our oceans are in trouble. The good news is we know exactly what is happening in our ocean and we have a good understanding of what we need to do, though we don't have the political will to do it," pointed out U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in his telecast opening remarks. "We're going to have to build a very significant political effort around this issue. We have to summon global cooperation so that we can take the steps necessary to protect our oceans for generations to come."
He also called for protection of 10 percent of the ocean as marine wilderness reserves (presently less than 3 percent is protected) and announced a State Department meeting this summer on the state of the ocean.
Along with Kerry and Prince Charles of Britain, who spoke of overfishing, President Juan Manuel Santos of Columbia weighed in remotely while Prince Albert II of Monaco, President Aníbal Cavaco Silva of Portugal, the former Presidents of Costa Rica and the Seychelles and former U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta attended in person to highlight their concerns.
Panetta, who was raised in nearby Monterey, recalled the collapse of its sardine fishery when he was young and its impact on local jobs and families that he hopes will not be repeated on a global scale. He recalled his work as a Congressman fighting attempts "to sell off the coast for oil drilling," and his successful effort to establish a drilling moratorium and create the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. "But what the U.S. does is not enough," he said. "The oceans are a global issue. So by all means talk to each other... but damn it, come to a conclusion!"
The Economist, a 170-year old magazine best known for its comprehensive news coverage and wry neo-liberal bent (its report on Pete Seeger's passing was titled "Bolshie with a banjo") has begun focusing on the ocean more frequently as has another business friendly magazine, Bloomberg News. That publication's owner, ex-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, just gave $53 million to three advocacy groups to try and reform global fisheries practices.
The Economist held its first Ocean Summit two years ago in Singapore. When asked if the ocean was now in worse shape attendees indicated it was with what John Micklethwait quipped was "North Korean like," unanimity. People did, however, agree that popular awareness of the problem is on the increase. This is part of what I call the X factor. One line of the X indicates the decline of the ocean's ecosystem, the other rising public awareness of the need for practical solutions. Where the two lines cross will indicate how much is left to protect and restore if we can.
One problem with the summit was its establishmentarian sense that ocean sustainability and continued economic growth for all marine sectors is possible with some tweaking of government subsidies, targeting of illegal fishing practices, more efficient ship propulsion and sound policy management through a UN ocean agency or existing treaties. The idea that there will be major winners and losers if we restructure our approach to 71 percent of our blue planet and the trillions of dollars already invested there was largely glossed over.
For example, a moderator asked Rupert Thomas, Vice President for Environment of Royal Dutch Shell if -- given the impacts of climate change -- offshore oil drilling should continue. His response was that, "[I]t's critical to multi-stakeholder dialogue that we better understand concepts like marine special planning," in order to avoid answering that question.
More useful highlights from the three-day Summit included:
-- A briefing session on new metrics for measuring the ocean's economic and environmental health including an "Ocean Health Index" presented by Beau Wrigley, whose obvious commitment to marine sustainability, along with his iconic family, makes me want to chew more gum.
-- A National Geographic dinner presentation by photographer Paul Nicklen, whose tales of near death freezing his butt off and the stunning images of narwhales, leopard seals, polar bears and spirit bears that resulted reminded us all that we have an obligation to more than just our own species on this blue marble planet.
-- Another panel looked at efforts towards ecosystem-based coordination of ocean uses within nations' 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zones and included representatives from China, Chile, Indonesia (which just banned the killing of Manta Rays) and Belize. And while Belize seems to have the most advanced protection of its reef, I'm rooting for incremental improvement in China given its population is 4,000 times larger than Belize's.
-- First-hand reports of how Portugal and Mauritius are also moving forward with science-based management of their ocean economies proved hopeful indicators of how the rest of the world might change. Now if only major nations like the United States, China, India and Russia would follow the examples being set by regional players like California who's evolution from frontier exploitation to world-class marine stewardship I recount in my book, The Golden Shore - California's Love Affair with the Sea.
I believe this can happen, but only if citizens of all nations become actively engaged in bottom up marine grassroots (or seaweed) efforts. Personally, I take my marching orders from a banner I saw carried at the forefront of 30,000 demonstrators during the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio where 108 Heads of State also met. It read, "When the people lead, the leaders will follow."

Arcadia expands into childrenswear with OUTFIT Kids
Topshop owner Arcadia is to move into childrenswear with the launch of the style-led OUTFIT Kids brand.
The company said the brand will provide "on-trend" looks for boys and girls aged between 18 months and 12 years old. The clothing will be priced from £7 to £45.
OUTFIT Kids will be sold in selected Arcadia owned OUTFIT stores, in a number of larger Dorothy Perkins & Burton stores, as well as online via the Dorothy Perkins, Burton and Wallis websites. There are also plans to wholesale to current and new partners.
Mitch Hughes, a buying director within Arcadia, said: "Launching a childrenswear range follows extensive customer research amongst families who shop across all the Arcadia brands, they told us that for their kids they wanted fun, stylish pieces that were good quality and that price was key. We listened, and delivered."
The Autumn/Winter 2017 collection will launch in early September and a partywear collection will follow later in the season.
Situated in retail parks, Arcadia's 80 OUTFIT stores stock collections from Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge, Burton, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis, as well as Evans, Warehouse and Oasis in selected stores.

Loading Clock Preview...
"Yellow Brick" Clock
Type : SevenSegmentWithColorGridBg
Description :
The clock's display has a typical height and aspect ratio. The clock has a nice amount of padding at the edges. There is quite a bit of space between the digits of the clock's display, so the digits feel somewhat far apart. The clock has an edge glow effect. The edge glow is quite opaque. The color of the edge glow is black. It is very fat and extends close to the center, leaving a small window clear in the middle. The clock has a color grid effect as a background. The color at the top left corner is close to antique white, with a hint of misty rose and blanched almond. The color at the top right corner is close to indian red, with a hint of pale violet red and rosy brown. The color at the bottom left corner is close to maroon, with a hint of saddle brown and dark red. The color at the bottom right corner is black. The digits of the clock's display are made up of several segments. The digits are fairly opaque, but it should still be easy to see what is beneath them. Their color is close to goldenrod, with a hint of peru and sandy brown. There is no gap between the digit segments. The digit segments have a drop shadow. The direction of the shadow is between east and east-southeast. The shadow is offset by a modest amount. The shadow is extremely blurred, so that it is soft and blends seamlessly into the surroundings. The shadow has a small amount of spread, adding a bit of strength. The color of the shadow is black. The shadow is almost completely opaque, and should feel rather strong
The SevenSegmentWithColorGridBg clock combines a traditional seven segment display for the digits, a four corner color smooth gradient background, and an edge glow with themeable color, thickness, and opacity. The individual segments of the digits support theming by color, opacity, segment gap, and a drop shadow. Additionally, digit spacing, overall clock aspect ratio, and edge padding can also be themed.

Do you live in your head?
Do you spend lots of time analysing or replaying things?
Is it important to you that you are right?
If you do feel like this you are not alone and I have good news of you.
The truth is our society is designed to teach you to be logical, academically intelligent, to communicate with the external world and to judge someones' language as a sign of who and what they are i.e. intelligent / rich or stupid / poor.
So to be seen as successful you have developed your intelligence, your ability to analyse and also your ability to judge and criticise others.
When this happens life often feels like a struggle and is stressful;
You lose your ability to connect with who You are, empathise with others and to establish and maintain meaningful relationships.
Do you long to have a deeper connection with people? –
Maybe even a deeper connection with yourself?

Saturated Canary Card
I created this fun card using Saturated Canary's Pitcher stamp and my Ranger Distress Markers. I used the markers as watercolors and used a paint brush to color the image. I love the way the card turned out! Love the colors and the markers were so easy to use. This card so reminds me of me when I was a little girl….such a TOMBOY!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Tenant Fee Ban Act 2019
On 1st June, new legislation affecting Private Landlords and Letting Agents, will be enforced.
This is expected to have a most profound effect on the Property Industry and will fundamentally change the way in which Agents or indeed Landlords, are able to charge for services relating to the letting of property.
We will no longer be able to charge mandatory fees or require Tenants to take or use a specific service. This ban applies to an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, a Licence to Occupy or a Tenancy which meets the conditions set out in Schedule 1 of the Housing Act 1988. Company Lets and non-assured tenancies will be exempt.

this gem today. In summation, if you don't feel like reading the article, the article suggests that a person's weight is such a factor in a relationship that big woman will likely not be able to sustain a partnership with thin men, or rather, men who are thinner than them.
This study, published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, "discovered that women who consumed fewer calories and had a lower BMI were happier in relationships" than women with higher BMIs who reported more marital conflicts. Additionally, this study asserts that mixed weight couples who eat together experience more conflict than mixed-weight couples who eat separately. To hell with family time!
The article does make a valid point that, most women in mixed weight relationships experience conflict because they feel like they are constantly being evaluated and judged by their thinner husbands, which certainly echoes our societal attitude toward weight.
The Wall Street Journal published a similar study at the beginning of this year that said more or less the same thing, but qualified mixed weight couples as couples whose "diet and fitness routines are out of sync." This definition implies that in mixed weight couples the mixed weight is a result of poor diet and exercise, which scientifically isn't true. The Today Show premiered the televised newscast of this study, stating that the mixed weight relationships where the woman was fat and the man wasn't produced the most conflict.
The "solution" all these studies give is that the fat partner - namely the woman, because, you know, fat women are way more stressful than fat men - needs to lose weight. Once the fat woman loses weight, her partner will find her sexy and desirable, she will have more energy to be with her family, and she'll have her self-esteem back. These studies also suggest that the thin partner needs to find a way to be encouraging about weight loss without being critical. Generally that encouragement sounds something like this, "You look great" or "That dress looks like it's fitting better." Read between those lines and you hear, "You look great because you're getting thinner" or "That dress didn't fit you right before."
Of course doing things to please your partner is a wonderful and essential part of a relationship. But when that thing is changing who you are so your partner will find you attractive again, your partner needs to do some changing of his own.

Our last full day in Saigon and of our whole backpacking trip. We booked for a half-day tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Same tour routine – bus picks us up at the hotel, takes us to the tourist spot, and takes us back to Saigon. Cu Chi district is more than an hour ride from Saigon.
The visit to the tunnels was both amazing and terrifying. I was amazed by how clever the Vietnamese were in trying to avoid the American troops. They were smaller in size compared to the latter so they used it to their advantage to build small holes and tunnels. It was also terrifying to see the booby traps they set for the American troops. One wrong move and your flesh is torn to pieces. Then again, war is serious business.
|One of their hiding places cleverly disguised under a pile of brown leaves.
|One brave tourist trying to squeeze himself in the hole.
|As for me, I'll play it safe with the bigger tunnels.
|This is one of the Vietnamese's booby traps for the Americans.
|Anyone who falls into this trap will be pierced to death by those sharp wooden sticks.
|Inside one of the tunnels. This was scary!
Guests have the chance to go through the shorter tunnels and I found myself crawling around the tunnels. There was a part where it was nothing but absolute darkness. Good thing my travel buddy brought her flashlight or I would have screamed in shame.
Our last stop for the entire 13-day trip was short and sweet. We were back in Saigon by mid-afternoon. Stopped by Trung Nguyen café for a late lunch and a cup of their lip-smacking coffee. Even my taste buds craved for that familiar delicious taste. Later that evening, we boarded the plane back to the country, bringing with us new memories and new experiences.

I slept through most of this. It was practically next door.
And yes, it was quite a storm. But I had taken migraine medication, put in my ear plugs, snuggled against an ice pack and was very, very comfy. The sound of torrential rain just made me happy to be in bed. And the lightning and thunder? Huh? Really? I didn't hear or see a thing.
My cell phone pinged warnings I never heard. Son #2 slept very little; he was on duty just in case.
Meanwhile, just a few miles east, people were on top of roofs and clinging to trees and evacuating flooding houses.
We woke to sunshine. And constant news and weather updates. It was quite an awful night in Austin.
But we're fine. And very lucky.

Vegetarian, gluten and food allergies catered for.
A highly recommended weekend experience
I am a bit of a sceptic but have accompanied my wife, a true believer, to many ghost tours in NSW. The Monte Cristo tour has been my favourite so far for several reasons.
I really enjoyed the stories of the history of the homestead, particularly the Ryan's attempts to purchase it and also of the restoration of what was at one stage a building in a very sad state of repairs.
It was great to get there early and be able to explore the outbuildings and grounds (also the following morning). The Ryan's hospitality was also wonderful, and their home cooked meals and comfortable accommodation much appreciated. The night time tour of the homestead, outbuildings and the grounds was also very interesting and entertaining.
Although I didn't have any experiences I couldn't explain on the tour itself, I did the next day when we visited the local cemetery to try and find the grave of the original owners, the Crawley's. To cut a long story short, a black cat showed us the way to their very hard to find grave in a very large cemetery as we were giving up after a long time searching.
We were very lucky to have taken the tour with Reg Ryan (since departed) and his son, but I have no doubt anyone would still enjoy this tour as much as I did.

Striking prehistoric rock art created up to 5 000 years ago has been discovered in eastern Africa by a UK-based team of scientists.
A team headed by Dr Sada Mire — an archaeologist at the institute of archaeology at University College London (UCL) — made the finds at almost 100 sites in Somaliland on the Gulf of Aden.
Leaping antelopes, prancing giraffes and snakes poised to strike are among animals and reptiles depicted with astonishing clarity in the ancient paintings.
The images include a man on horseback, painted about 4 000 years ago — one of the earliest known depictions of a mounted hunter.
Such is the quality of the paintings that at least 10 of the sites are likely to be given World Heritage status.
Mire's research study will be published this month in the journal Current World Archaeology.
The archaeologist, who has just become a UN consultant for Somaliland, told the Guardian: "These are among the best prehistoric paintings in the world. Yet Somaliland is a country whose history is totally hidden.
"With wars, droughts and piracy in Somalia, hardly anyone has researched the archaeology until now. But it's absolutely full of extraordinarily well-preserved rock art."
One of the sites — Dhambalin, mountainous sand dunes located about 64km from the Red Sea — features pictures of horned cattle, sheep and goats, painted about 5 000 years ago. The animals have distinctive bands around their backs and bellies, which suggests farming or ritual traditions.
There are also animals such as giraffes that are no longer found in Somaliland.
Mire, who is Somali-born, has been particularly struck by ancient paintings of "eerie headless creatures".
View of the world
She said: "Sometimes the cattle are represented as simply necks or horns, a pictorial shorthand that was evidently still sufficient to convey meaning to its audience."
Other paintings are more mysterious – like the 2 000-year-old colourful images of the full moon, half-moon and geometric signs at another site, Dawa'aleh.
Mire believes these depict the ancient artists' view of the world, time and space.
The sites are scattered across semi-desert terrain in Somaliland. The country is in the northern part of Somalia, and covers an area slightly larger than England — but with a population of just 3,5-million. More than half of these people are nomads.
Once part of the Ottoman empire, it was a British colony from 1884 until 1960. After gaining independence, Somaliland merged with Italian Somaliland, an Italian colony until 1941, to create modern Somalia.
Although Somaliland declared itself independent of Somalia in 1991, and has a separate government, it is yet to be recognised as a separate state.
Mire said: "Whereas Somalia has suffered with an ongoing civil war and piracy, Somaliland has remained peaceful. It does not have piracy.
"Yet, despite boasting a stable, grassroots democracy, the country has not been recognised by the UN and so does not formally exist, leaving it a breakaway state teetering on the edge of a violent region.
"However, its heritage puts it firmly on the archaeological world map. Few people, either inside or outside Somaliland, are aware of the riches it contains."
The latest discoveries are a sequel to the impressive cave paintings found at Laas Geel in 2000. For centuries, these were known only to nomads, who believed the site was haunted by evil spirits.
"This superstition had the fortunate side effect of preventing their livestock from damaging the fragile murals," Mire said. She believes that many more sites are yet to be found. – guardian.co.uk
