What if you as a restaurant owner or chef could find every lost dollar? What if you could clearly see which initiatives earn revenue and which are costing you diners? What if you could be recognized as a leader in your region, state, or even nationwide for your commitment to good food?
The Good Food 100 Restaurants movement is making this possible while rewarding restaurants for the good work they do in the kitchen and elsewhere. The mission of Good Food 100 is about promoting the people who are changing the food industry for the better as well as growing a community and the number of eaters who care about the power of good food, according to Good Food 100's co-founder and president Sara Brito. The leaders of smart eateries like Tender Greens, The Market Place, XOCO, Miller Union, and dozens more participating in the Good Food 100 list already know this is where the food industry is headed – and why it is happy news for anyone in the business. Nearly 80 percent of diners surveyed in multiple studies report their desire not just to understand what they are eating but also where it comes from and the impact their restaurant choices have on their environment.
Brito's venture, the Good Food Media Network is a nonprofit educational organization that produces and publishes the Good Food 100 Restaurants. Having been in the food industry for 20 years, her unique perspective includes an eagle eye on the evolution of the restaurant business. She co-created and launched the Slow Food 'Snail of Approval' designation given to restaurants, bars, food, and beverage artisans contributing quality, authenticity, and sustainability of the food supply of the City of New York among numerous other achievements. Here, Brito shares why the Good Food 100 listing matters and why you should apply to be on it.
What are the benefits to restaurants and diners?
If you're proud of your food purchasing practices, you owe it to yourself, your staff, and your guests to apply to the Good Food 100 Restaurants. It is not easy to run a restaurant these days with so many challenges in staffing and labor issues as well as rising rents and managing food costs. Restaurants don't get the credit they deserve and the media focuses on hot topic of the moments. Now that farm-to-table has moved into the mainstream, they will move on from that. Someone has to help tell the story of what these chefs are doing right on an ongoing basis.
How did this idea spring to life?
I really wanted to bring to light that good food is the right thing to do — making a moral and ethical case for it. But more than that, to bring the language that businesses speak and elected officials listen to. We help chefs tell their powerful stories about what their impact is in aggregate. In the culinary world, chefs and restaurants have to wait to be bestowed honors – wait to be named best new chef, wait to get named best new restaurant – while the Good Food 100 is putting the power back in the hands of the people who create the dishes.
Why do the Good Food 100 ratings matter and how do the economics factor into the mix?
Eaters are using lists in all forms to curate the proliferation of choices they have in where to eat. Even someone like me who works in the industry can't keep up with all the restaurants opening, and more and more diners want to make choices based on their values. Lists that only focus on food service, ambience, or taste service, while once historically valued, are not enough anymore. We are making it easier for diners to make eating choices based on their values. Plus, many restaurants don't even realize the good work they are doing. The 90 restaurants who applied last year generated about $61.8 million, but those dollars had an almost $199.9 million impact. So what that means, is, every dollar diners spent on good food had an almost $3 impact.
Beyond recognition, why is the Good Food 100 an important part of changing the industry for the better?
Chefs can be rock stars one day and a bad news story the next. It is so easy to fall from grace. And these days, the bad news story that brings you down could be a single tweet. Chefs and restaurants can wait until transparency is forced on them and react to it, or they can be proactive and be real leaders in moving the industry to a better place. In the future, we hope to create an annual summit of chefs gathering together with seminars and workshops grounded in the data to facilitate sharing insights and advice.
In addition to bragging rights of being proprietors of good food, some of the restaurants on last year's list were able to correct losses through the application process. How did this occur?
Applying for the Good Food 100 list is like holding up a mirror, not just about your numbers or around a solo restaurant, but how you're having a positive impact. It also helps restaurants not on the national radar have a real opportunity to become perceived leaders in the industry. On the economic analysis side, we have partnered with Leeds School of Business and they do all of the analysis of economic data for us. The data in aggregate serves the industry as a whole, but, individually, restaurants can see how they can compare and know where the numbers are. Before starting to fill out the application, call or email your distributors and ask for a summary of purchases for the year. You are spending thousands of dollars with them and this application process is very revealing as to where the problems in the food systems remain. Restaurants sometimes struggle with getting this information, as there is a problem with lack of transparency on that side as well. Some of our restaurants tell me they had to dig for the data from their own suppliers, but, on the flip side, they were amazed to look at their purchases at such a detailed level. They learn how much they buy from the state and region and contribute to the food economy. One restaurant revealed to me that they found mistakes on their profit and loss sheet. Analyzing your spending helps you see where your money is going. Some will often say they thought we were really doing well, but good practices have slipped. And others who didn't think they were doing that great learned they are doing better than they thought.
Restaurants have to apply to be on the list. What is the cost, can anyone apply and is it a complicated process?
There is no cost to apply. In addition to restaurants, we also welcome food service businesses, cafeterias, food trucks, and catering and event businesses as well. Participants receive the 2018 Good Food 100 Restaurants Certificate of Participation, are listed as a participant in the 2018 Good Food 100 Restaurants List, and participant in the economic assessment and receive a PDF File of the 2018 Good Food 100 Restaurants economic assessment. The more willing you are to be transparent, the more recognition you can get. The biggest challenge depends on your own accounting and bookkeeping system and how accessible data is. Some restaurants are still on a paper system and that can be more challenging.
What can restaurants expect when filling out the application?
You begin at our website by clicking the orange 'apply now' button. Next, just download to print and preview the application. There are only seven steps, which include: basic contact information, food purchasing data, basic business info, labor questions, ranking quality food costs, and the biggest challenges to implement good food and barriers to that. Lastly, you upload your logo, sign, and submit the application. Anyone can fill it out, including chefs or restaurant owners, but often times they will delegate that to an assistant or marketing person. However, this is a great avenue for a staff member who has expressed a desire to become a chef de cuisine for that person to learn about food costs and what it really takes to run a restaurant. You can also task your accountant with delivering the data.
What happens after you receive all the applications?
The deadline is May 25, and, in July, the data is analyzed by Leeds School of Business. Then on September 12, we list the ratings and publish the economic assessment. Everyone who applies is featured on the list and receives a "links" rating of anywhere from 2-6 links for good food as compared to their region. As outlined in the application, they also receive items to celebrate making the list such as decals, logo certificates, t-shirt, and hat. Visit goodfood100restaurants.org to apply.

I just finished Sony's Venom. An Eddy Brock origin story with no Peter Parker. Do we need a Oppo review of a movie that was in theaters nearly 3 months ago? No but here we are. Plus no one saw this in theaters anyway.
I had a few major problems with the movie from the jump.
1 no Spider-Man
2 this probably means that we will never see a proper Spidey VS Venom movie. And that makes me pretty sad as Venom is one hell of a villain.
I think I liked the movie over all. I loved that they fixed the sim-bi-ote pronunciation and suck with the Marvel sim-be-ote.
I warmed up to Eddy Brock as a character over the course of the movie, and I really like the way Venom talks to him, and the way they talk to each other.
I do HATE that the symbiotes had their own English names. I think their hosts should have named them.
I do like that Vemon is a hero in this story. And I like that Venom chooses to stay with eddy basically just because he thinks Eddy is some one he can hang out with.
The action wasn't up to MCU par at all. Because it wasn't MCU. But I think the jokes were. As was the Stan Lee cameo.As for the Post Credits Scene.
Wooden Harilson(i laughed to hard at this type-o to fix it.) is amazing but he should not be playing Carnage. And there won't be a sequel anyway because this movie did terribly.(it didn't?)
I think the movie was okay, and worth the rent. But I'm glad I didnt pay 8-10 bucks to see it in a theater. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 28% I'd give it a 50.
On a scale of "Thor The Dark World" to "Into the SpiderVerse" I'd give it a solid "The Amazing Spiderman". Huh it's about as good as another okay Sony movie. Interesting

Here is a new version of the storyboard for the Alexander the Great Animation. As I stated in one of my previous posts for this project I have decided that instead of having the story of Alexander told like it is actually happening, I have decided to have a bust of Alexander tell his origins to the audience. The reason for this is that I think one it will be a nicer way to hear his origins story because it makes it seem like it is more personal and let's face it often a tale is better from the Horses mouth (Pardon the phrase). So Narrative wise it is a good choice because it allows not only the target audiences attention to focus on the bust but it feels more personal coming from Alexander.
Here are the aims for this project:
The aim of this animation is to produce a Animated Biopic based on the Ancient Greek Conqueror and King, Alexander the Great. The Animation will be 30 to 45 seconds long and not a second over. The animation will tell a part of Alexander's life effectively and utilize sound effects that are suitable for the chosen content, this will help tell his story and make sure that the target audience is not offended. The Animation will aim for a target audience of school children since Alexander is a Historical figure and is consider an important part of our history.
This storyboard is a lot more successful then my previous one, the story is easier to understand then it's predecessor because of the way the narrative is presented to the audience. It is clear, precise and doesn't go of in a tangent at any point during the animation/storyboard. For example the opening to the animation has Alexander's name and title as the name of the animation/storyboard showing what or in this case, who is the main character within this animation. While the storyboard may appear not to be much, it still gets the narrative across successfully because all the focus is placed on the bust. While the stories of Alexander's past are been told there are symbols, some will be animated and some will not. This is to help strengthen the narrative of the story and to make these events more recognizable to the target audience, so that they can understand what is happening in the animation, as well as what happened to Alexander. The only down fall with this storyboard, I believe is that the animation might be just short of the 30 second minimum, so I will need to tweak the actual animation to get this to work.
The sounds for this animation will be researched into later, although I have already considered various sounds that I might utilize within this animation, when I create it. For example the Horse animated clip will have either just a audio clip of a horse neighing or hoofs colliding with the ground with this scene in the animation:
The reason why this will help is that it makes this scene a lot easier to understand since not only is the character talking about the horse but there is a animated image of it. I think this scene works a lot better than the previous storyboard version and it allows more time to be seen on Alexander who is telling his own tale. The only down fall is that I have to be careful about what sound I use i.e. if I just use hooves the people may not associated this sound with a horse they may either see this as a Donkey instead which isn't correct.
Other sounds I have already considered for this animation is for the actual talking of the character Alexander. I personally think in order to add to the character and make it appear more realistic and to draw in the target audience, Alexander should appear to talk in a unknown language something like Ancient Greek. This is so that the audience can't understand him unless they read the speech bubbles coming from the characters mouth, which contains the actual information about him. This is done not only to represent the character's old culture but also to make him seem more mysterious to the actual audience watching the factual animation. The down side is that I will need to be careful with the speech bubbles since they won't be able to fit everything in them and the sound can't be to annoying or people will get fed up with not only with them but may also be offended with them.

Xoriant's client is a large global storage management company with development centers, laboratories and sales offices all over the world. Our client's customer-facing technical operations units help the sales effort as well as customer implementation efforts for their storage management products. With the continuing proliferation of storage area network (SAN) and network attached storage (NAS) on the one hand; server and virtualization technologies on the other hand; combined with other storage-oriented software products such as databases, email systems, enterprise class business solutions and document/content management solutions, our client was facing an increasing demand to conceive, plan, execute, test and tune numerous configurations of hardware and software products along with their storage management offerings.
Instead of incurring the overhead of hiring experts of different skills who are not likely to be busy all the time, our client was looking for a partner who would help plan and execute various activities of this technical operations lab by creating an offsite facility and bringing in the right expertise for the appropriate requirements. In order to leverage offshore cost benefits while retaining the flexibility to serve global clients, our client was looking for dual-shore solutions provided by a vendor who not only had the technical and domain expertise, but who could also provide near 24x7 support from the US as well as India (in a totally orthogonal time zone). Xoriant was chosen as the vendor to help out in this activity.
Our client's Technical Operations organization oversees the Enterprise Lab functions to ensure that their storage is compatible with a wide range of heterogeneous products and consistently reflects the client's high standards for quality. As an integral component of our client's storage development process, Technical Operations function manages Enterprise Lab sites as they carry out essential, quality-focused activities, such as:
Interoperability verification
Performance management and testing
Software acceptance
Vendor qualification and testing
Proof-of-concept and enterprise solutions demonstrations
The Enterprise Lab resources include multiple equipment inventories to support these activities, comprising configurations from our client, and from our client's key partners. In addition, these activities involve varied skill sets ranging from storage hardware, firmware, and storage management configurations to match the infrastructure and application software.
Xoriant has been working with the US location of this client from 2004. After establishing our partnership in the US operations, we established a dedicated center in India for our Client in 2007. Currently Xoriant engineers work with several of Client's location managers in the following areas:
Interoperability verification
Performance management and testing
Test automation
Proof of concept demos for pre-sales situations.
Interoperability Lab
The interoperability lab (ILAB) performs testing of all SAN and NAS devices with the latest hardware and software configurations. In interoperability testing, each combination of equipment is characterized by a 5 - Tuple. In a given combination, the host runs one of the OS as specified in the OS block. There could be one of the MultiPath software running on the host with one host bus adapter (HBA) installed. The host is connected to a fiber channel (FC) switch. The FC switch is in turn connected to the storage.
Xoriant engineers certify various specified configurations. This interoperability certification is performed in the following steps.
The team of SAN engineers uses remote VPN connection to connect to the client labs in the Silicon Valley, CA using high-speed Internet.
Once connected to the lab, the team picks up a specific configuration to be tested for interoperability from the database.
The team then reserves the equipment needed for the test using the web based GUI provided by our client.
The team then studies the configuration by analyzing various components and interconnects them using optical patch panels and the web based GUI of the optical patch panels.
Once the setup of the equipment is completed, standard interoperability tests are carried out.
The results are verified and if the tests are successful then the client database is updated with corresponding entry as a certified configuration.
If the tests fail then the configuration is further investigated, troubleshooting is carried out and the whole cycle is repeated until the configuration is certified.
Test Automation
Automation team members have been involved in developing components for automating the integration test phases for a variety of data storage configurations. The team is responsible for developing test automation scripts that can automate the manual test process followed for Interoperability Lab testing, thereby reducing the time taken for testing/certification and improving the efficiency. The work was performed Perl and Shell Scripts, using the storage domain concepts.
Performance Measurement Lab
The Performance Laboratory serves as an important link in our client's Technical Operations Support group for performance measurement and problem analysis. Our performance team's goal is to analyze and measure the performance of all client products, both stand alone and in specific configurations provided by the presales teams involved in various sales cycles. In a typical performance measurement cycle, the presales engineers typically determine to what extent client products are expected to perform and whether they are equipped to handle customer workloads and throughput goals. Many times, our team has had to consult with various people in our client's global organization to understand their individual experiences in working under similar circumstances. In addition to these consulting sessions, the performance team had to perform its own study and analysis or the environment. The following testing steps were taken by the performance team:
Understanding the architecture of the subsystem whose performance is to be analyzed.
Determining the capacity of storage products by performing standard test process.
Fine-tuning the subsystems to get better throughput.
Collecting raw performance data and analyzing and interpreting it.
Escalating unresolved problems to the development team - the last resort
Performance Testing Configurations

Only one LUN is carved out from One Raid Group
4 numbers of LUNs used
Number of outstanding I/O scales from 32 to 512
Test was done using IO meter
Solutions Demo Team
Our Solution Demo team supported the SAN marketing group. The approach in providing the solution demo was as follows:
During this engagement, the Flash demo development team in India typically prepares multimedia presentations and demos to highlight various features of our client products for pre-sales situations. The development is done with the help of Flash, and other software packages such as LightWave 3D. The creative team interacts with the client demo team through STARboard and video conferencing.
Typically, these demos are developed and tested using the demo lab at our client location in the Silicon Valley. Certain hardware specific features and functionalities relevant to the targeted prospect/customer of our client are showcased in these demos. In some cases, remote demonstrations are also carried out for certain customer specific requirements.
A well-planned approach to effective partnering has helped our client reap substantial long term benefits:
Ability to deliver several more certified configurations in given time as compared to competition, with reduced overall cost of operation
Clearing of all Interoperability Lab pending backlog test requests and get current on sales/customer requests.
Ability to enhance Interoperability Lab's scope of operation with availability of additional manpower doing innovative projects
Ability to measure and tune the performance of standalone client products as well as that of sales situation specific configuration, thus helping the sales cycles.
Round the clock operation helps faster turnaround for Proof of Concept Demos for our client's prospects/customers.
Ability for the sales teams to show quick and sales situation specific demos to their prospects/customers, substantially increasing the chances of success.

The leading Mexican festival wants the scheme to be in place for next March, covering films from Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Films in Progress kicks off its 10th edition in San Sebastian on Tuesday, while its counterpart for films from the Maghreb and Portuguese-speaking Africa, Cinema In Motion, ran all day Monday.
The news was just one of a series of industry announcements from San Sebastian with a theme of searching for new sources of financing to produce films in Spain, Europe and beyond.
"There is an eternal need in Europe for financial tools," said Berlin-based Peacefulfish's Thierry Baujard, who announced the creation of new film consultancy and financing hub Fortuna Screen Finance with Spain's Markab Creativos and Arena Audiovisual to offer film producers creative content analysis and help in drawing private equity financing from around Europe.
"We aim to provide the instruments and transparency to bring together producers looking for financiers and investors looking to invest in cinema," Baujard said of the project, launched with Markab's Vicente Mora and Arena's Peter Andermatt.
Meanwhile, Spanish Minister of Culture Carmen Calvo confirmed at San Sebastian that a new national film law would be approved by year-end. Although she declined to reveal details of the contents of the law, she said it would pay special attention to supporting "creative cinema."
It will also likely take into account a 16-point proposal of measures presented to the administration by the Spanish Producers' Federation FAPAE. Among FAPAE's proposals for the industry are new fiscal incentives to inspire private investment in Spanish cinema, and a state cinema agency modeled on neighbouring France.
Spanish producers are already taking advantage of reciprocal guarantee fund Audiovisual SGR, created earlier this year with backing from the Ministry of Culture's film institute ICAA. SGR said in San Sebastian that it has closed agreements with six leading banks in Spain to help negotiate and guarantee loans and discount contracts and subsidies for local companies. Films to have tapped SGR's services in the last six months include Antonio Banderas' Summer Rain (El Camino De Los Ingleses) and Iciar Bollain's Mataharis.
Finally at San Sebastian, creators of the two-year-old Raices fund that backs co-productions between Galicia, Catalunya and Argentina announced in San Sebastian that they would increase the fund's coffers by Euros 150,000 with the incorporation of the Andalusian region of Spain. Other Latin American countries beyond Argentina are also considering independently joining the fund, which offers up to Euros 450,000 to film projects. Newly-announced recipients of Raices funds include Fernando Nogeira's Algo Habran Hecho, Paula de Luque's El Vestido, and Jorge Algora's El Nino De Barro.

Yogyakara (ANTARA News) - Indonesia`s Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister A. M. Fachir encouraged the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah organizations to remain the glue that holds diversity together and promote the face of tolerant Islam in the international arena.
"NU and Muhammadiyah must continue to be the glue that holds diversity together and at the same time demonstrate to the world that Islam in Indonesia is not an intolerant religion but instead one that is able to maintain plurality," Fachir remarked while giving a keynote address at an International Seminar titled "Indonesian Islam in Global Stage: Inspiration for Peace of the Archipelago for the World" at the Senate Hall of the Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in Yogyakarta, Friday.
According to Fachir, NU and Muhammadiyah are the two largest Islamic organizations in the world that have proven to be able to unite the concepts of nationality and nationalism or at the same time nationalism and Islamism. This, he believes, should be maintained since lately there are nuances to contrast the two aspects.
"In the history of Indonesia, the founders of our nation have decided that nationalism and Islam can go hand-in-hand," he pointed out.
He noted that not many countries have been able to take care of the aspects of plurality and Islam in tandem. Several Islamic countries in the Middle East experience endless civil war conflicts, as they failed to care for national unity while at the same time unifying the two aspects.
"Short-term economic and political interests should not undermine the unity of the Indonesian nation that we have been fighting for so far," he noted.
According to Fachir, in addition to showcasing the face of Islam, which is rahmatan lil alamin, Indonesia can also become a model of civilization as well as the largest Islamic education center in the world.
"Indonesia must be the center of Islamic education, which is why we set up an Indonesian International Islamic University. This is our great work, as a nation, to make Indonesia the center and model of the world`s Islamic civilization," Fachir added.

How to serve static images/assets
I'm certain I'm missing something. I brought up a dockerized pod and it works, but none of the static images or assets are being served.
I have an external Nginx instance providing TLS termination, etc., and I suspect the problem is that I don't have the server root set correctly, but I'm frankly not sure what it should be (relatively new at docker). The reverse proxy is getting the basics right, but the site is basically unusable without all the JS and CSS. I guess either I've missed setting that allows the docker container to serve its static assets, or I need to let my external Nginx have access to the directory where all those assets reside.
Suggestions? Thanks, and thanks for the docker image. Beats having to install Diaspora by hand.

Course Description
German Language & Culture in Europe
This new taught masters programme is run jointly by the School of Languages, Literature, Culture and Communication, University of Limerick, and the Department of German Studies, Mary Immaculate College, Limerick.
Uniquely among the MA programmes in German Studies currently on offer at Irish universities, this MA programme takes account of recent changes in Irelands economic circumstances. The design of the course reflects Irelands increasing integration into ,and interdependency with, a constantly changing European Union in which Germany will continue to represent a crucial political, economic and cultural force. By positioning German culture firmly within an EU and broader European context, the programme explores Irelands relationship with Germany as a key to a better understanding of this countrys relationship with Europe as well as the cultural dimension of the European integration process. The programme also features elements on Austrian culture, on Germanys interaction with Eastern European cultures as well as the outside perspective of the European Union present in German-language Swiss writing. Beside the European focus, the traditional orientation of post-graduate degrees in German Studies towards literature is expanded by the inclusion of visual and other media texts, in particular film, once again exploring the European dimension of contemporary German-language cinema. Alongside comparative cultural knowledge the programme intends to provide graduates with high-level language competence related to the areas of potential future employment in companies in Ireland requiring near-native language competence in German, in Irish foreign trade organisations as well as in EU institutions

|Patchwork Drawstring Bag Workshop at Millie Moon
August has been an odd month for me. I have been adjusting to a new day job, have had the Pickle at home a lot more as he is between nursery and pre-school and I have been doing lots of plotting and planning. Here is a little roundup of my crafty activities.
I have done a lot of preserving during August, both for us as a family and also for gifts. I have blogged about it here and have also shared my Nan's recipe for Beetroot Relish here. I love preserving and hope to do some more during September as apples start ripening.
|Homemade Raspberry Jam with Sweet Peas
Despite spending lots of time in the kitchen preserving and also making some freezer meals for my Nan's 87th birthday, I haven't actually done any baking. I really must rectify this and also make an effort to do some baking with my little Pickle too. Watch this space for September.
I have been busy writing patterns and making samples for my forthcoming workshops at Millie Moon. I also taught my first workshop which I wrote about here. If you fancy joining me for one of my autumn workshops click here. I have also been busy doing some secret sewing, which I will share soon and have made a few gifts using my patchwork drawstring bag pattern and my quilted cushion cover pattern. I had a complete fail on my goal of working on my Ercol covers – MUST. TRY. HARDER in September!
|Quilted Christmas Stocking Workshop at Millie Moon
My garden is continuing to provide us with lovely organic veggies. The courgettes are finally producing regularly and we have a great crop of runner beans. I have already frozen a big bag of them for my Christmas lunch and I am also freezing any other surplus for eating throughout the winter. My pumpkins and winter squash are looking fantastic and I have a second crop of mange tout. My raspberries are starting to ripen and I am hopeful of a few dwarf French beans. I participated in the Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day again so do click here if you fancy a peek at what has been blooming in my garden.
|Homegrown Polka Raspberries
I have been pretty creative but have not done as much sewing as I would like. How was August for you? I am really hoping to get on with those Ercol cushions in September, start my Christmas gifts (which I have already planned) and continue preserving.

Whether you are traveling for the first time or you travel regularly, people make mistakes that possibly ruin their trips. The best thing about this is that you can easily avoid common travel mistakes through planning your trip. By doing so, you are going to enjoy your vacation.
Avoid over packing. You may get tempted to take with you outfit that you will wear on different occasions. It is going to be very difficult for you to haul your luggage around. You may as well possibly get stuck with the high baggage fees for exceeding the required weight limit. You need to pack your bag as usual and take out half of the clothes that you originally planned. Since you are not going to wear all of them, you will also not sacrifice your style of dressing. You can make plans to do your laundry on the road.
Another common travel mistake is the failure to check cellphone plans. It is essential to be aware of what your plan covers. This will enable you to avoid data roaming charges. You can choose to turn off your data moments before you get on your plane. Also, set the phone and leave it on airplane mode since you will still connect to wi-fi. If you require data, you can consider purchasing an international plan or a local sim-card on arrival.
Ensure that you book enough time between your flights. In most cases, flight conditions are unpredictable. If you get delayed at the airport, you may be forced to rush through the airport. You will need to do this so that you can connect to your flight. Being unfamiliar with the airport may result in delays making you miss the flight. It is therefore advisable that you book your flight with a safe buffer in between.
Travelers forget while others ignore grabbing some local currency at the airport. You will need the local currency as soon as you leave the airport. Grab the local currency so that you can pay for your transport and accommodation in your favorite hotel. Apart from using your credit card, you need to have cash on hand for emergencies. Most of the local markets also do not accept credit cards. You will, therefore, need to get yourself the local currency.
Another travel mistakes to avoid while traveling is failing to inform your credit company about your travel plans. It is essential to do this because it may help in case of credit card fraud. The company flags foreign transactions freezing the accounts of the customers to avoid theft. Also, find out whether they charge any transaction fees to avoid surprises.
Failing to purchase travel insurance is also a travel mistake that people make. The travel insurance will cover cancellation fees. If you cannot make the trip happen, your travel insurance will cover this for you instead of spending extra cents. You may consider choosing a plan that covers emergency medical expenses. You can do this if your health insurance plan does not cover you while in other countries.
Not checking visa requirements is wrong and should be avoided at all costs. It may make you fall at risk of being turned away at foreign checkpoints. This is very costly and time-consuming. It may as well put an end to your tour. You can check on the online websites for the visa requirements for different places.
Do not pack too many activities into one trip. You may fall under a lot of pressure of going to different places thus limiting your opportunities. It will also make your travel very stressful. You need to give yourself enough time to relax and get the best out of each destination.
Ensure that you keep track of reservation details. Most people forget to do this and end up having a lot of trouble looking for their itinerary. It is easier if you put your itinerary in a separate pocket or have an electronic copy on your phone.
Another travel mistakes is storing valuables carelessly. Avoid storing your money, electronics together with other valuables carelessly. If you do so, you are going to lose most of your valuables to pickpocketers and snatchers. You can safely protect your valuables by purchasing an anti-theft bag and carrying it with you wherever you go. As you walk around the streets, make sure that you hold your clutch tightly. Avoid walking in noisy and crowded places. When you leave your hotel room or where you sleep, ensure that you lock the room. Ask the clerks to safely store your valuables for you to protect them from theft.
Avoid putting your wallet in your back pocket or even hanging your bag over your shoulder. It makes it very easy for an idler to rip you off or get pickpocketed. Secure anything you have that someone can grab easily. In case you find yourself in a congested bus or train, carry your backpack, purse, and bags in front of you. This will make it difficult for any thief who has the intention of stealing from you. avoiding such travel mistakes will help you not lose your money.
Your friends and relatives will also enlighten you on travel mistakes to avoid. They can do so by sharing their experience with you. The internet will also provide you with more information on the same.
You can easily make the best out of your trip by following the above tips. In doing so, you will know about the different travel mistakes that you need to avoid.

Fun fact: for a number of years, a line from Carrier's story was printed on the back of Canada's five dollar bill:
Canada At 150: The Hockey Sweater
The Hockey Sweater is a quintessential Canadian short story. It was written by Roch Carrier in 1979, and has been read- or watched- by a majority of Canadian kids over the years. It was originally entitled Une Abominable Feuille D'erable Sur La Glace (An Abominable Maple Leaf On The Ice) but the name was simplified to The Hockey Sweater when the story was translated into English by Sheila Fischman. In 1980, the National Film Board of Canada made an animated short of the story and called it The Sweater.
The short story was written by Carrier about an actual incident which occurred in his childhood, and is a celebration of Canada's enduring love for the game of hockey. It also highlights the oldest rivalry in hockey- the one between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Their fans are rabidly partisan, and ne'er the twain shall meet. Lastly, The Hockey Sweater is a love letter to the legendary player Maurice "Rocket" Richard, revered by generations of young hockey players and fans.
Fun fact: for a number of years, a line from Carrier's story was printed on the back of Canada's five dollar bill:
Without further ado, here's The Sweater, narrated by the author and original sweater wearer, Roch Carrier:

Effective system of elevator security smart management with IOT technology
"No more elevator accidents"
--This is the ultimate goal we are dedicated to!
Yunti Significance
Comparing and combining the physical data of elevator operation with maintenance data to give in-time warnings for maintenance parts renewal; capturing and dissuading improper user behaviors via video behavior analysis.
Yunti can trigger the warning system while accidents happen, accurately send the accident information to relevant platforms and accelerate maintenance response; meanwhile, it can also comfort users via video intertalk,instruct them on the correct way of disposal so as to effectively avoid from second injury.
The mass data storage and smart analysis function of Yunti enables it to record the whole process of the accident and reproduce the on-site scenario which can help the government departments to track and find out reasons for the accident.
Yunti Innovate
Real-time Testing and Warning Before Accidents
Yunti underlines early-warning before accidents and improves elevator security through preventative measures. By uploading the off-line maintenance data recorded by the maintainers and combining it with real-time monitored data, it can judge potential risks, give out early warnings and gradually change the maintenance model from requiring designated time and personnel to a smart one with real-time efficiency and set-orientation.
Video System of Behavior Analysis
Yunti's video system of behavior analysis can effectively identity improper elevator-using behaviors such as hitting against the door, blocking the door and opening of the door by force, as well as the abnormal environments such as long-time opening of the door; it can dissuade people from doing so and give out warnings, thus avoiding accidents due to damages of elevators by human behaviors.
Unique PLC Signal Transmission
Compared with traditional communications technology, PLC, or Power Line Communication, boasts the advantages of rapid transmission speed and stable singles, etc., with the two-way communication reliability reaching over 99.99%. Inside the elevator shaft, it has realized stable signal transmission, convenient installation and maintenance, and all network coverage of elevators.
Unique AI Management
Yunti can automatically judge and operate via its artificial intelligence system in terms of testing, management and treatment while humans only play an auxiliary role, thus realizing high-efficient management and treatment to ensure elevator security. Yunti's smart system boasts the functions of automatic progressing and up-grading.

Re: [App] PVR+ 4.3
Posted: Thu May 04, 2017 6:21 am
OK, I did it! You were right SamygoPVR works fine, but not all versions. First, I encountered the same problem with the oldest version I had but after that I've got to know newer version of SamygoPVR calls different functions to perform recording. So I decided to implement the same functions in PVR+ 4.4. First tests show recording on NFS share and USB stick work well. Thank you and thank the author of SamygoPVR! (sorcerer1) Expect PVR+ 4.4 quite soon here on this forum.

When people use the word "warchest", I always imagined it meant over 45 million. You could barely by a decent defender now days for 45 million.
It will get u Denis suarez on loan in January.
So warchest probably not the best word to describe 40 mil.
I was being sarcastic after that tabloid article about the 45 million budget we have for the summer (which is most likely true based on previous experience being an arsenal fan and pure sucker for that corporate vampirism c*** factory) .

What?! This is my third post in week! That hasn't happened in a while. And I have finally made some progress on all the recipes I've had stocked up. Which means I get to make new ones! That excites me. Got to brainstorm summer flavors. Cherries. Berries. Really want to get some passion fruit and do some cool stuff. Loaves. Cheesecake. Tarts maybe, who knows where I'll be taken.
As you will recall, Tuesday I posted a recipe for Pistachio Rose Toffee <—–click for the recipe, which came about because of this tart. I had it on my agenda to make a purple crust using freeze-dried blueberries, but that wasn't enough for me. I wanted to make more colors of crust. I had found some reasonably priced matcha powder and had been waiting on the perfect moment to use it. This was my moment. A lovely green crust.
I expressed Tuesday my concern for what flavors to pair with the tea. I ended up using a ricotta filling that I had made with a delicious blackberry tart <——–click for recipe. And the toffee got added for more depth of flavor and texture and color.
Gluten-Free Matcha Tart
Matcha Pie:
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup butter
Ricotta Filling:
- 1 1/2 cup ricotta
- 3 eggs
- 1/8 cup honey
- 1/8 cup maple
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour
Pistachio Rose Toffee
Let's Make it Happen: Preheat oven to 350.
Process the crust ingredients in a food processor until a ball forms. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll and pat into a tart pan (I used mini tart pans). Prick with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool.
For the filling, beat the ricotta cheese. Add the honey, maple and vanilla. Add the eggs in one at a time. Scrape down the sides in between each one. Add the flour. Once combined, pour carefully into your tart. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and the edges are set but the middle be slightly jiggly.
Cool and refrigerate for several hours. Serve with toffee pieces.

I think my arms might fall off from sanding. I just finished sanding both sides of 60 pieces of cedar, 2.5" x 24".
Does anyone happen to know if there's a benchtop or miniature version of a wide belt sander? I know that drum sanders exist and are pretty affordable and such, but changing out the paper on them seems like an enormous chore.
The closest thing I've seen to a mini wide belt sander is the 15" open-ended units by Grizzly, Powermatic, and a couple others, which are pretty compact relatively speaking, but are fully featured units that have all the gizmos and features of the bigger siblings, including the big price tag.
I'd really love to get a small sander for processing flat stock, but don't have the budget or space for a big unit.

REIKI IS REACHING THE TOP HOSPITALS by Eugenio Lepine
08 Dec 2018
by Eugenio Lepine
From the Johns Hopkins to several cancer centers, Reiki therapy is steadily gaining presence in top medical facilities. Here is a brief view on some of them.
Up to this day is still unclear how Reiki works, but many theories are on it. At the Reiki Frequencies post is mentioned the research about this elusive healing technique. Despite this, several top medical facilities are realizing the benefits of Reiki, especially in the areas of pain control and cancer complementary care. In 2014, The Washington Post stated that: "more than 60 U.S. hospitals have adopted Reiki as part of patient services, according to a UCLA study, and Reiki education is offered at 800 hospitals".
The Johns Hopkins Integrative Medicine & Digestive Center, in Maryland USA, offers Reiki to its patients "to create deep relaxation, to help speed healing, reduce pain, and decrease other symptoms you may be experiencing". Certainly, they don't explain its mechanisms but have wisely adopted Reiki among acupuncture, integrative psychotherapy, and therapeutic massage.
The Mayo Clinic is ranked No. 1 at USNews.com's Best Hospitals Honor Roll in 2017-18. This is a clear example of an integrative model, where the latest developments and technology are applied, but not neglecting the spiritual and emotional conflicts and needs that might arise during cancer treatment. Therefore, trained and level 2-certified providers of reiki or healing touch provide volunteer services, to patients at both Mayo Clinic Hospital campuses and some outpatient areas.
This facility is acknowledged as one of the top medical centers in the USA and also the world. According to U.S. News & World Report (USNWR), it is ranked No. 2 in the 2017-18 Best Hospitals Honor Roll. In this hospital, several complementary therapies and treatments are included at the Cleveland Clinic Lyndhurst Campus, such as Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Therapy, Reiki, Yoga, Chiropractic Services, and many more.
Considered the 2nd best hospital in Connecticut, it's also rated as high performing in 6 adult specialties and in 5 procedures and conditions. It is a general medical and surgical facility, as well as a teaching hospital. Specially trained Reiki Volunteers give free Reiki sessions throughout the main hospital, the Harry Gray Cancer Center, the Dialysis Unit, and the Brownstone Outpatient Clinic. Patients may request a session through their nurse or physician.
In 1973, the University of Pennsylvania established a cancer center to serve as the focus and stimulus for all cancer-related activities at the University. In 2002 it was renamed as the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania. Reiki Therapy is available for any type of patient, either for the ones that are given infusions or also for those receiving treatments in the Radiation Oncology department. This therapy is available at the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine.
This one is a referent in advanced technologies, such as image-guided radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and shaped-beam radiation. Despite the aggressive technologic approach, the Center for Healthy Living offers a wide selection of complementary therapies and activities like acupuncture, hypnotherapy, massage therapy, reiki, yoga, and much more.
Located in Seattle, this clinical facility published a pdf file in which includes a long list of the cancer care services they provide, the list is a clever combination of top technology at the beginning, and biofield therapies and spiritual needs at the end of it.
The Cancer Council in New South Wales, Australia (which is a ramification of the national council), provides resources, information, and support among cancer patients and relatives. They have displayed a very informative PDF file called Understanding Complementary Therapies, where Reiki is one of several energy therapies displayed.
The Solaris Cancer Care is a leading Western Australian cancer support service provider, which promotes the concept of wellness for people at all stages of their cancer experience, this is why they have teamed up with the International Institute for Reiki Training (IIRT) and the Reiki Association (WA), and created the Reiki Community Clinic, in order to provide Reiki as a service to their members.
At this point, it is responsible to remember that the Cancer Council (and mainstream medical community) does not recommend the use of alternative therapies as the only therapeutic approach. Therefore, it is recommended the use of complementary therapies that have been proven to be safe to use alongside conventional cancer treatments.
Finally, to explain the reason for this trend is that a cornerstone benefit of Reiki is general well-being, which makes you more resilient and joyful, independently of which situation your life is on at this moment. This effect is known asThe Relaxation Response. When suffering a disease, it can reduce pain, shorten recovery or improve the outcome, and could be used along with a specific treatment plan studied by specialists.

The vacation is over. The rules have been lifted. 14 days of gluten-free, (refined) sugar-free, dairy-free, meat-free living. Honestly, it was fabulous. Challenging? Yes. Did I crave ice cream? Yes. Red wine? Yes. Was I tempted to stuff my mouth with a handful of my daughter's animal crackers and call it breakfast? Yes. Did I give in? No. I juiced, blended, chopped, diced, and ate my way through an amazing two weeks. I bought things at the farmer's market and grocery store that I never tried before. I tweaked recipes and did some creative ordering at restaurants. There were times when I felt limited, but never, ever deprived. I had a renewed sense of energy and overall well-being. My mind was clear, heart was soft, body still sore, but energized.
This ended up being more than a cleanse, more than a vacation. I learned some incredible life lessons that apply across the board: health, family, relationships, spirituality. There's so much I want to share, but there will be time for that in the days to come. For now, I'm going to apply some of what I learned, listen to my body, and rest.
Good night everyone,

Hi, I have had suspected CSF leak for over a year now and have today had a CTM and a few targeted BP's.
There is a very suspect looking bone spur at T6/7 that on MRI appears to be puncturing the dura. This is the area the BP's were done.
Bad news for me is that the CTM did not show a leak.
What was found is that I'm in HP. I had an opening pressure of 23.5.
Some of my symptoms include a post nasal drip that I can alter the flow with differing body positions. There's the headache and all the other CSF leak symptoms. (Tinnitus, stiff neck/shoulders)
After these bp's, i now have a supine headache that goes away on standing, so I think the BP,s may have sealed and put me into even higher pressure.
I have some diamox to help with that as my vision is blurry and I don't want to make it worse.
Has anyone has similar symptoms?
What I think is happening is the leak is intermittent and it sent my Brain CSF production haywire.
Hopefully time will tell

How rich is Tyler Henry?
Name: Tyler Henry Koelewyn
Born: January 13, 1996
Occupation: Clairvoyant medium and television personality
Tyler Henry was born on January 13, 1996 in Hanford California.
Living just outside of Fresno, he attend the Sierra Pacific High School, where he graduated on an accelerated academic program. He did have plans to attend college in order to enter a hospice nurse career. This was derailed when he discovered that he had special gifts.
It is unknown if Tyler is in a relationship. He is openly homosexual.
Tyler first came across his medium-like talents when he was just 10 years old. His mother would consistently say that he was unlike other children and would say things other kids simply wouldn't utter. Tyler knew he was a medium in 2006 soon after the passing of his grandmother.
Rather than embracing a hospice nursing career, Tyler would provide clairvoyant services to a wide variety of Hollywood celebrities, such as Snooki, Tom Arnold, Monica Potter, Amber Rose, Bella Thorne and Jaime Pressly.
The news of his gifts made the rounds around town as the E! Network approached Tyler to have his own show called "Hollywood Medium With Tyler Henry." Following a successful premiere, the network ordered two additional episodes for the 10-episode season. The network announced in March 2016 that it had ordered a second season.
At the same time, it was confirmed that Tyler would be penning his very first memoir with Gallery Books entitled "Between Two Worlds." The book concentrates on what it is like living as a medium, from a young teen all the way to adulthood. It will also highlight his courage and search for acceptance. He goes on tour in November 2016.
For much of 2016, Tyler has appeared on a wide variety of television programs, such as "Today," "The Insider," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "Extra" and "Access Hollywood."
Despite his newfound popularity, Tyler has been met with skepticism and criticism. Susan Gerbic, an American skeptic activist, called Tyler a "grief vampire," someone who preys on families who are in desperate situations or in mourning of a lost loved one. Sharon Hill, a science writer, also dismissed Tyler's supposed gift, explaining that the success of his show stems from "craftily editing." Bobby Finger went as far as saying Tyler's show is the worst thing on all of television. Tyler hasn't been affected by the criticisms because he welcomes skepticism.
We estimate that Tyler Henry's $1.5 million (2016).
So how much is $1.5 million really?
$1.5 million can help pay for a reading with Tyler Henry. $1.5 million can also buy you a nice apartment in Hollywood.

Customer Reviews
When these came I was worried if they would be dull because of how cheap they were but I was super satisfied to find out how sharp they were! These may be small but they are very sharp! Shipping was great and good because they can easily fit into my pencil case. For those reasons I rate these 10/10 with no flaws at all.
Perfect lil pair of scissors for cutting paper and paper like products, but not so much for yarn or fabric like materials. Still a very cute pair to keep on my desk.
These scissors as super cuter and surprisingly very sharp.
So cute and it does what it's suppose to do

Never give up hope. Out of the most tragic circumstances can come the greatest peace and the greatest joy. Look at the people alive when Jesus was here on earth. They believed in him as the one person who was going to save them from corrupt government and tyranny. Then the most tragic set of events occurred…he died…he was crucified even though he was with out sin. For three days they mourned and were very frightened for there own lives. Then the most amazing and unexpected thing happened next…he was raised from the dead. Can you imagine the unbelievable joy they sensed when they were speaking with him? Incredible…yet without his death and the death of our sins there could be no resurrection. May God's peace be with you.
"For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus."
Romans 6:9-11

Today sees the release of the much anticipated recording of Berlioz's epic two-part opera Les Troyens, featuring Joyce DiDonato in her debut as Didon and Michael Spyres as Énée. This new Erato recording of the complete, uncut score of Les Troyens – Berlioz himself never saw it performed in its entirety – is taken from concert performances that took place in Strasbourg in April 2017, which were described by Forum Opéra as "the musical event of the year". The magnificent cast is assembled under the baton of John Nelson, the acknowledged master of Berlioz's music who has conducted Les Troyens more frequently than anyone else over a period of more than 40 years.
The recording has already received five-star reviews:
"And Michael Spyres and Joyce DiDonato are perfectly suited as the doomed lovers Aeneas and Dido, moving tragically from the almost supernaturally charged harmonic bliss of their Act IV love-duet to the spitting venom of the Act V break-up and then the final curse on the departing Trojans."
★★★★★ Richard Morrison, The Times, 24 November 2017
[It's] Joyce DiDonato's Dido who hogs the spotlight for the rest of the opera…"
★★★★★ Andrew Clements, The Guardian, 22 November 2017
Join John Nelson, Michael Spyres and Joyce DiDonato this Sunday 26 November for an exclusive evening in Foyles where James Jolly, Editor-in-Chief of Gramophone magazine, speaks to them about the recording. The event will be streamed live on medici.tv at 4.30pm GMT, and the cast will also be signing copies of the CD after the event. More information for the event can be found on the Foyles website.

Town's End Restaurant & Bakery
Overall Rating: 7.150
|Notes: None
|Famed China Beach weekend brunch spot with Bay Bridge views and horribly long waits. A lot of window seating facing The Embarcadero. They serve Thanksgiving Coffee for drip and Caff� Roma ESP blend for espresso. Espresso costs $1.75 tableside and $1.00 at the take-out counter. Barista brews straight into the cup from a two-group La Carimali, but they often neglect it for a while after brewing. Thick layer of medium bodied crema, with a medium-dark brown color. Medium body. Lacks a flavor punch: slight herbal flavor with some smoke. Espresso has a lot of unmet potential.

"Do you think the existing church can be salvaged? Or do we need a whole new start?"It made me think of a quote that I can't remember from who "if the church is the bride of Christ she's a bit of a minger...!"
I'm not sure that is true...!?
I'm sure if we let church do what church does best, and be church, we wouldn't be looking around for the new bride, our eyes wouldn't be wandering - the problem is that I suspect that we don't know what the church does best.
We spend copious amount of time reading books, going to conferences, blogging, talking about our preconceived ideas of what the church should do best but have been too busy to notice that the bride we are 'showing to the world' is not having any transformational impact on the world, we haven't noticed that the bride we are 'showing to the world' is too busy preening herself, we haven't noticed that the bride we are 'showing to the world' is pre-occupied and self-absorbed. And all the time God's great redemptive story for creation gets squeezed into clever formulaes, brands and sub-brands, ecclesiatical propaganda and clever talk while we wonder how to be relevant. And all the time what the world wants and needs is for the church simply to stand up and be real.
I personally think the church is beautiful. Perhaps rather than start again, perhaps the concept of salvage is more a case of stripping away all that we have thought has made the church more appealing. Strip away the cosmetics to reveal the true beauty of church that exists in its very being. Strip away the layers of cracked foundation and discover what the church does best. Then sit back and be amazed at how appealing and beautiful the church can be.

Everyone knows of someone who has made it big through investments, but also knows someone who lost all his or her money by investing. Your goal is to decide which stocks will bring your good returns and which will decrease your capital. You can improve your chances in the market by following some of the advice given in this article. Good luck and here's to your future.
Be realistic about your expectations upon investing. It is widely known that success and riches from the stock market do not happen overnight without high risk trading, which often leads to serious loss of capital. Remain aware of this fact so that you can make the right decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
If you're comfortable doing the research yourself, use an online broker. The fees to trade and commissions on these online brokers are much cheaper that a discount or full service brokerage. Since one of your investing goals is to turn a profit, reducing the costs of your trading pushes you closer to that goal.
If you want to split your time between making your own picks and a broker who offers full service, work with one who offers online options and full service. This way you can handle half the load and a professional can handle the other half of your stock picks. This allows you the safety net of having two people working towards your goals.
While investing in risky stocks can offer outsized rewards, you should balance your portfolio with safer stocks as well. Stocks with long-term safety offer the power of compound interest. While choosing smaller companies with good growth prospects makes sense, balance your portfolio by adding several larger, more stable companies as well. These large companies are very reliable in their growth. Therefore, their stock is probably going to do very well on a consistent basis.
Cash doesn't always equal profit. Cash flow is the lifeblood of all financial operations, including your investing activities. Although it's fun to spend your money or reinvest it, you should make sure you have enough money available in order to pay off your bills. Take out some cash and keep it around for a rainy day. Leave the rest invested.
The general rule of thumb for novice stock traders is they should begin with only a cash account and not trade on margin. Because you get to control your finances more directly, any type of cash account poses less of a risk and allows you to profit without being an expert in the field.
Never purchase a company's stock without thoroughly researching it. A lot of people make rash decisions and invest a little too quick into a stock they hear has potential. If the company fails to perform to expectations, stockholders are left taking the loss.
Have an open mind when looking at a company's stock price. A golden math basic rule that must be reviewed, is that if you pay more for a stock with respect to the earnings, generally the lower the return will be. A stock that seems too expensive might become a great deal in a few weeks only, which is why you have to be patient.
Start with blue-chip and well-known companies. These tried and true stocks are easy to move and carry less risk. You can actually branch out as well, you can look into stocks from small to midsize companies. Remember that a smaller company has the potential to offer speedy growth, especially if it is considered 'hot', but it also has a higher risk of loss.
Have you considered online stock trading? Internet stock trading firms tend to be cheaper than brokerage firms. Just take your time and shop around so that you can know you have found the best deal. TradeKing and Fidelity are good examples.
Hire a broker. They can give you a quicker start with your stock portfolio, warn you about newbie mistakes and teach you a ton about making wise investment choices. Many stockbrokers have useful insider information on bonds, stocks, and mutual funds, which you can use to make better investment choices. Additionally, they can help you manage your portfolio and reach your goals.
Almost everyone has heard about someone who's made it big thorough invest, as well as someone who has lost it all. This happens quite frequently. Luck can have a role in your success, but the more you know about investing, the better you will tend to do. Remember these tips so you can pick stocks that you can profit from.

Thank you so much Jonathan. In every step of the process of interviewing for this new job, I used the thinking, honesty, feelings and actions based on all the things you helped guide me through over the last year. I for the first time truly liked and believed in myself. I got the job!
When we came to therapy we were desperate. My son's anxiety was really severe. After just a few sessions the changes were remarkable! Panic attacks & dry heaving are a thing of the past. Thank you Jonathan!
I couldn't believe it. My anxiety was through the roof. After 3 sessions with Jonathan I went from having numerous panic attacks a day to just one in 7 days. I wish I had sought help sooner. Thanks Jonathan, I feel like myself again.
I came to therapy because my confidence was suffering. I knew I needed to get a handle on my mental game to perform at my best. Jonathan understands the mind of an athlete. Our sessions really gave me the boost I needed. My performances are far more consistent and dynamic. I'm playing with joy again. Thanks Jonathan.

UPDATE: Open heart surgery for Glen Sykes is scheduled for today (May 21) at 8:30 a.m. Pacific time.
Glen Sykes, pastor of Grace Brethren Church, San Diego, Calif., is reporting that he will have open heart surgery on Tuesday.
