Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 28, 2017
ThreadKM, a legal chat and collaboration hub, today announced an integration with Relativity, kCura's e-discovery software that helps organizations worldwide manage and analyze large volumes of unstructured data.
Relativity provides law firms, government agencies, and corporations with a complete set of flexible tools to tackle their unique e-discovery and data challenges, from litigation to internal investigations or information governance. As a platform, Relativity allows developers to design, build, and tightly integrate applications that add or extend the software's functionality.
ThreadKM's Relativity integration allows reviewers working in Relativity to share documents and comments with members of the case team who may not have access to Relativity. This seamless integration allows reviewers to select documents to "Push to ThreadKM," and to add comments to those documents, which can then be reviewed and discussed inside of ThreadKM.
"This integration unites a law firm's in-house knowledge management tools and a leading e-discovery platform," said Damon Goduto, ThreadKM vice president of sales and testifying e-discovery expert. "Conversations can now happen seamlessly between these two document universes."
ThreadKM joins the Relativity Ecosystem, which includes custom applications and integrations built by Relativity developer partners.
"With this integration, ThreadKM makes e-discovery collaboration even more efficient for Relativity users," said Perry Marchant, vice president of engineering at kCura. "We're committed to an open platform where our users can easily combine the tools they already use with the power of Relativity. It's great to welcome ThreadKM to the Relativity Ecosystem."

UNION, NJ – If previous years are any indication, about 25,000 spectators are expected to line Morris and Stuyvesant Avenues in a few weeks to watch the 2016 Union County St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 12.
General Chairwoman of the 20th anniversary of the parade, Kerry Ricci, said, "the parade this year is dedicated to the children of Irish heritage and the importance of passing on our heritage to the next generation. As a mom, I am thrilled that the committee strives to make this a family-oriented parade, strengthening our Irish heritage for generations to come."
Frank McGovern of Cranford, selected as this year's Grand Marshal, said "this parade has become a part of my family's life." McGovern has been involved with the parade for more than 17 years, serving as the parade's 2005 General Chairman. "I know its part of other families' annual traditions as well. This parade is about tradition and family."
McGovern said that it's important to pass down proud Irish heritage. "The children (young adults) of current parade committee members are now joining the committee to be part of the parade team," said McGovern, "keeping the tradition alive".
The parade committee is made up of members of 18 organizations from around the County. Participation and representation in the parade is provided from all Union County towns. "Union County is tremendously diverse and the parade is one of the biggest events of the year," said Ricci. "Regardless of your heritage, it's a great day for many families."
"This is the largest, fastest growing, family-oriented parade in the state," added Ricci.
As always, the parade festivities begin with the Thornstick Mass at 9:00 a.m. held at St. Patrick's Church in Elizabeth, followed by a welcoming reception at the church.
Parade events begin at 12:00 at the grandstand located at the intersection of Morris and Stuyvesant Avenues. The "Kids Zone", with rides, games and vendors, is open for kids of all ages on Stuyvesant Avenue, just past the main reviewing stand. As a special attraction, the New Jersey Hall of Fame Travelling Museum will be available to parade-goers.
The parade commences promptly at 1:00 p.m., beginning at Commerce and Morris Avenues and proceeding east along Morris Avenue, turning at the grandstand at Stuyvesant Avenue and ending at Roosevelt Avenue. Some of the best views of the parade are from the Burnet Junior High School area at Morris and Caldwell Avenues and from the grandstand area at Morris and Stuyvesant Avenues.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's federal government budget deficit dropped in the first four months of the fiscal year, falling to C$3.03 billion ($3.09 billion) from April to July compared to a C$5.93 billion shortfall in the same period of last year, the Department of Finance said on Friday.
The monthly deficit in July fell to C$1.05 billion from C$1.69 billion in July 2011.
Revenues in the first four months of the fiscal year were up by 3.7 percent compared with the same period in 2011, reflecting higher income tax revenues, excise taxes and duties, the finance department said. Program expenses rose by 1.2 percent, mainly due to higher transfer payments.
July revenues grew by 0.8 percent from July 2011 while program expenses fell by 0.4 percent.

places in the area where you can come to ride horses, regardless of your

me that my horse Hobbs is a gentle animal, but he still looks big to me .
The hardest part is getting up in the saddle. Our guide Jessie McCready
shows me how.

rider....you can go on your own....if you know what youíre doing....nice
about Rolling Hills.....some places youíre in a hack line...kind of
boring...wherever you want to go youíre welcome to...canít get
Amb sound: saddle and mud slopping sounds
SULLIVAN: We ride down some steep, muddy paths. Hobbs is having a little trouble with his footing and slips in the mud. He recovers quickly, thank goodness, and as we continue down, my riding companion Ann Murray gives me some advice.
MURRAY: Grip with your knees...keep his head up when he goes through the
MCCREADY: Get up Hobbs....gotta keep after him sometimes.
Amb sound: saddle sounds
SULLIVAN: At the summit of the hill, there is an area called the run, and
thatës just what the horses do. Jessie explains what I should do..
MCCREADY: This is what we do, just walk down...when we turn around they just
run back....get into a trot...go into cantor....stand up and bounce with the
horse ...called posting....bouncing up and down......youíll feel it....stand
up....get up.

to the left...clicking...there you go...youíve got the sound down and

Originally from outside Boston, Nikki started practicing yoga in High School to compensate for her sports injury that left her on the sidelines. From that moment on, yoga became an important aspect of her everyday life.
Moving to Philadelphia in Fall 2011 brought her to PPY as a work-study student, learning the inner-workings of a yoga studio. Steve then took Nikki under his wing to teach her the philosophy of PPY and the classes that are so important to the PPY clientele.
Nikki has been teaching at PPY since the Summer of 2012, a nice balance from her day (and night) job as a full-time graduate student. She enjoys every minute in the studio, whether sweating it out or teaching others.
If you would like more information about Nikki or have questions/comments about her teaching, you can contact her email@example.com.

TravelCon 2018: On Longevity, Building Community, and the Art of Pivoting in the Travel Industry
On Career Transitions: Cutting Through The Noise and Embracing Focus
Over the past month, I've thought a lot about time management, priorities and focus – hence my slight silence on the blog besides sharing postcards. This thinking exercise isn't anything new – it's been a regular occurrence ever since I embarked on the rewarding but demanding journey of transitioning from the law into travel photography and now writing.
More recently, however, I was reminded of the importance in learning and shifting priorities to go farther in this new field and make the best use of my talents.
These thoughts were triggered by TBEX, when I realized during and post-conference that I was sitting on potential and what I needed the most was focus. Focus on learning from the best – whether it means taking classes, workshops or attending the best of conferences – and focus on consistently seeking out opportunities and knocking on doors.
With all of these thoughts on my mind on the plane home from Colorado, an amazing opportunity came my way.
I opened my email to find a message from a fellow blogger currently on a trip around the world. In the email was a link to an ad for a travel writing gig, one for which she thought I was a perfect fit. It did sound amazing and I knew I was qualified. A year ago I might have let fear or doubt take over, but after TBEX I realized that my true love is for travel writing and photography and not blogging full-time per se. I left feeling inspired and ready to push harder.
I spent the entire weekend drafting a cover letter and crafting a travel resume (the last one I wrote was for my legal experience and most of my travel-related gigs so far have mostly come from my networks). I edited, proofread and perfected and hit send. What's the worst that could happen, I thought?
Within a few days, I received a response: I was selected for an interview. I was so excited, I must have read the email at least five times. Then I thought, well why not me? Ha.
Fast forward, a week after my one-hour phone interview, I was selected for the next step. I had just under 14 days to submit a near 50-page proposal.
I can't quite describe the feelings of excitement, anxiety and adrenaline that came over me all at once. I was so excited and grateful to prepare this piece that I lived and breathed it for two weeks, all while I juggled my full time legal gig (I still consult as an attorney when I'm back in the US half the year). Still, it didn't prevent me from completing the work and I even had one day to spare for editing and perfecting. I was >> Continue reading »

"Human beings are strong because we have the ability to change ourselves." Saitama, One Punch Man
The idea of stopping a meteor headed towards our planet with nothing but a superpowered human being sounds like a physical impossibility. But if you had a powerful enough, strong enough, fast enough human, it could be done, so long as you obeyed the laws of physics and conserved energy and momentum.
The speed your human would need to hit the meteor with would be tremendous; there would need to be something special about this human's atoms to keep them from flying apart; the energy released by the in-air explosion would be catastrophically huge. But it could, in fact, save the city — or the entire planet — that it would have completely annihilated otherwise.
Go and learn the physics of how to stop a meteor with one punch, and how strong and fast you'd have to be to do it!

Rob pens a post that will probably interest only the few of us who are familiar with the online advertising business– it's about the differences between javascript and iframe ad tags. The most interesting piece for me was this bit about Amazon using iframes:
Now there are exceptions. Some publishers like Amazon.com that work with ad networks grudgingly, purposefully put their ads in two layers of iframes to hide their origin AND to stop unscrupulous partners from "stealing" shopper-related data from their pages presumably – but as my other writings would attest I believe that the "sell the same stuff for different prices" world of online publishing will come to an end in the next several years and then this kind of good-quality-site-hiding-behind-frames behavior should be reduced – with the caveat that data use practices in a non-iframe world will also have to be more closely looked at, which I think will happen regardless.

Hi all, as you know I'm this months Guest designer at Scrapgal.com and I put up a tutorial on the Gal Blog about embossing your flowers.
It's so easy and simple and it gives a little extra on your flowers.
I used plane white flowers by Artemio and put them between my roses die from Cuttlebug.
You need your A, B and B plate for this.
Ofcourse you can use any type of flower, I also used the so sweet Prima Rasberry flowers.
With Distress Ink, vintage photo, you can add a bit of extra
And to get more color on my plane white flowers, a splash of Glimmer Mist
This is how I used them on my layout:
I added a bit of Broken China Distress Ink to the edges of the flowers.
Don't you just adore the Prima papers? It's the Strawberry Kisses collection, with E-line swirls, pebbles on the flowers, the journaling sticker is from the Rasberry collection and the stamps are golden oldies, Scrapperware stamped with Ranger's Archival Ink Coffee color. The cardstock is White by Bazzil.
Thanks so much for looking.
Hope to see you on Scrapgal.com, it's such a fun place, do check it out.
Wishing you all a happy and creative weekend.

August Audio Book Club: A Visit From the Goon Squad
Jennifer Egan's Pulitzer Prize winner is our selection this month.
Reading alert: This month, Slate's Audio Book Club will talk about Jennifer Egan's A Visit From the Goon Squad. It's a book festooned with awards, including this year's Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award. HBO is developing a TV series based on it. In interlocking chapters, Egan moves from character to character and decade to decade, juggling several story lines. For Aspen Public Radio, Jonathan Bastian compared the effect to the 2005 film Crash. "We're steadily saying goodbye to the bulk of traditional novels, in which a story has one narrator, and the reader learns about one relatively confined world. Instead we're now experiencing the collision of multiple different worlds from unusual vantage points." Discuss!
We'll post this new Audio Book Club, with editors Michael Agger, Emily Bazelon, and John Swansburg, on Monday, Aug. 29. And an early alert for September: We'll be talking about Amy Waldman's new 9/11 novel, The Submission.

Risotto. Say the first half quick, then draw out the "t" – riz-ot-to. Now say, "yum, yes please." I can't think of a better food for those in-between seasons days, where it's just a little cool outside but there's still plenty of good fresh produce.
Or for those downright cold or rainy days, where just the act of leaving the house requires supernatural motivation.
Or for any day, really. Risotto, I could eat it with a fox, in a box, here or there, anywhere.
Although risotto isn't exactly an unusual food, it is one that many Americans don't often cook at home and one that many Italian-American restaurants don't serve (or don't serve well).
In part, this is because it takes some time to prepare and making individual portions is tricky. In part, it's because risotto comes from the north of Italy and many Italian-American restaurants specialize in the foods of the south. Whatever the reason, it's a shame.
Risotto is perfect for celiacs, because it's naturally gluten-free. Nothing to substitute or work around – just a classic dish perfected by a few centuries of Italian nonnas. It's a great dish to keep up your sleeve for those times when you want something comfortable, or you have a few random ingredients around the house that you need to use up.
If you've ever been to Risotteria in New York – an Italian restaurant that has embraced the gluten-free community since opening ten years ago – you know that most risotto is made with one of three varieties of short-grain rice:
- Arborio
- Carnaroli
- Vialone Nero
The rice is cooked carefully, with lots of stirring and the slow addition of warm broth or wine. This process scares some of the starches out of the rice, where they bind together with delicious things like caramelized onion and cheese for a creamy, cohesive, warming dish.
Your local supermarket should carry at least one variety of risotto rice, and I can almost guarantee you'll find a recipe on the box. If not, this gluten-free risotto recipe from about.com is pretty standard.
Once you've made a basic risotto – or even before, if you're feeling adventurous, you can branch out and try new flavor combinations.
Gluten will be the farthest thing from your mind as you whip up a risotto with:
- Radicchio and Red Wine
- Bacon and Spinach
- Zucchini, Saffron and Shrimp
- Chestnut and Herbs
- Or anything else – here's a list of risotto recipes to last a year, most of which are naturally gluten-free and all of which could be modified to suit your tastes
Once you've made your risotto, eat it like an Italian would: use the back of your fork to spread the risotto into a thin layer on your plate before digging in. This cools the risotto down, so you won't burn your tongue.
Buon Appetito! What's your favorite risotto recipe?

Great Home Remodeling How To Books?
Q: I'm hoping to find a great book (or magazine) on home remodeling for my husband for Christmas. After renting our whole lives, my husband and I are buying a charming dump of a house with the goal of fixing it up as a project over the next several years. The house will need significant work, from plumbing to flooring, and my husband wants to do as much as possible of it himself.
He's a mechanical and electrical engineer and a serious hobbyist with a fair amount of building experience, including helping friends renovate their houses, but this will still be the biggest project he's ever tackled - so what I'm looking for is something geared towards the skilled newbie, with technical and practical advice on things like installing dry wall or putting in tile, etc.

User - posted on 03/04/2017 ( 2 moms have responded )
So my 3 yr old daughter has had a change in behavior that started when I was pregnant and is only getting worse now that I've had the baby. Which we expected, but not to this degree. She has always been high strung and strong willed but she is all of a sudden acting out all the time. She is constantly climbing on my husband, hitting him, pulling his hair, throwing things at him, acting awful in public, and at the same time wants to cuddle with him, hold her on the couch, demands that he carry her everywhere we go, wants him to do bedtime. I experience none of this behavior aimed towards me. When she was younger she used to bite and scratch him and her older brother but also, none or that was ever aimed at me and the behavior has majorly escalated to the point that my husband cannot even sit on the couch with her as she WILL NOT leave him alone. She has also started destroying things in the house, pouring her drinks out on the floor, even from spill proof cups, throwing her food everywhere, and just generally being a constant tornado. She has just become out of control. We provide her with as much attention as we can, but we have started sending her to her room for timeouts, she gets the occasional smack on the bottom, we take things away, and vice versa we reward good behavior. I breastfed her until 28 mos and we have been trying to get her out of our bed since that time also, and I spent a lot of one on one time with her before the baby came along. I know it has been hard on her to lose all those things and definitely expect some level of this behavior, but the acting out towards my husband and flat out obsession with him, and only him, is driving us all CRAZY. Anyone else experienced anything like this? Advice?

I Love This Mouse. The Microsoft Intelli MouseReviewing: Microsoft Intelli Mouse Optical | Rating:
I preface this review to inform you that I am no mouse expert, but for those of you looking to find a cheap, great, reliable mouse, then the intellimouse is probably the mouse for you. I've had this product for about three years and it still functions great and I still love it. The plug and play USB works with every computer I used it with. I don't know much about optical DPI but its accurate enough for my workspace and its accurate enough for my gaming. The middle mouse scroll is not loud at all and rolls smoothly.
My favorite feature is the two buttons that are off to the side. I primarily use these for internet browsing as they function as the back and forward feature. Although it does not seem like much, I now never have to navigate my mouse to the top left of my browser to go back. Most of the time the buttons are unobtrusive but if you are not careful, you may press the back button when writing an e-mail and lose all the text you've written, but this is the risk you gain when using such a feature.
The optical intellimouse is an awesome basic mouse that fulfills easy internet browsing as well as great gaming.

Moose Head Maniacs: April 2013
Who Said It?
After leading late in the race, Martin Truex Jr. finished second at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday night to Kyle Busch. He hasn't won a race since June 4, 2007, at Dover and has finished second six times during the drought. His disappointment was visible after the race.
"Finishing second is good," he said. "I'm not saying that's not the case. It's just when you've been so close to winning so many times since your last one, it really sucks to run that good and finish second."
Top Five Early Season Feuds
5. Kevin Harvick vs. Brian Vickers - The two battled on the final lap at Martinsville Speedway, and it resulted in Harvick spinning Vickers during the cool-down lap. The two claim the feud is over, but bad blood has a way of showing itself later on. It's worth monitoring how the two race one another moving forward.
4. NASCAR vs. Penske Racing - Reigning champion Brad Keselowski was outspoken in his criticism of NASCAR's inspection of the Penske Racing team at Texas Motor Speedway. That was before those inspections led to both of the team's cars having their crew chiefs suspended six races and their drivers docked 25 championship points.
3. Tony Stewart vs. Joey Logano - The No. 22 blocked the No. 14 on a late restart at Auto Club Speeway. Angry about the block, Stewart confronted Logano on pit road after the race and spoke poorly of him in the media.
2. Jimmie Johnson vs. Junior Nation - The fire never seems to die in this relationship. Johnson drew the ire of Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans when he put him a second lap down by going around him under caution at Martinsville Speedway.
1. Joey Logano vs. Denny Hamlin - After the No. 11 spun the No. 22 at Martinsville, the two battled for the lead on the final lap at Auto Club Speedway. They got into each other on the final turn. Logano hit the wall and held on for a third-place finish; Hamlin spun and hit an interior wall, suffering a compression fracture in his back.

What do you think about the list? Are these the kind of books that guys like? Should they be the kind of books that guys like? In our last blog we talked about making boys read books with girl main characters. Should men have to read books with female male characters, too?
If you're a man, what would you put on the list? If you're not, what would you put on a reading list for men if you had the power to influence what men read?

CTC Media's CEO Steps Down
The move comes at a time when the company's stock is in decline.
MOSCOW-- Anton Kudryashov has stepped down as CEO of CTC Media, Russia's leading independent media company, to head the major mobile phone operator Vimpelcom. His resignation comes at a time when CTC's stock price has been declining in response to the company's lowering its forecast for revenue growth this year.
CTC Media said that Kudryashov, who headed the company from August 2008, stepped down "based on mutual agreement."
Kudryashov has been replaced on an interim basis by the company's CFO, Boris Podolsky, CTC Media said in a statement. Meanwhile, the company's spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that there is no information as to when a permanent replacement could be appointed.
Kudryashov is leaving CTC Media, which operates the Russian television channels CTC, Domashny and Perets (formerly DTV), as well as TV assets in Kazakhstan and Moldova, at a time when not all is rosy for the company.
This year, CTC Media has already twice lowered its revenue growth forecasts for the entire year: first, from 20 percent to 15 percent in September, and then to 9 percent-11 percent in November. Meanwhile, according to the TV ad seller Video International, the Russian TV ad market is expected to grow by 20 percent this year.
From Aug. 1 to Dec. 16, the stock price of CTC Media on NASDAQ declined from $21.43 per share to $8.89 per share.

Billy Dutton sees a disparity between Southern California's beaches and its harbors, and he aims to fix it.
Up and down the coast, you can find volunteer beach cleanups occurring monthly, and even weekly. But harbor cleanups? The Newport Beach native hasn't heard of too many opportunities.
That's why he's started Help Your Harbor, in which volunteers can get on the water aboard kayaks, paddleboards and electric boats to clean trash, plastic and debris that often floats along the surface.
Dutton thought of the idea in 2012 while cruising Southern California's coastline aboard his 21-foot solar-powered Duffy boat, raising awareness on plastic waste and ocean health. Along his route from Santa Barbara to Ensenada, Mexico, Dutton noticed the harbors were some of the worst offenders for trash.
Now, he's on a mission to clean them up, starting with Newport Beach. The pilot program includes about 15 volunteers spending a few hours cleaning up sections of Newport Harbor once a month, which Dutton hopes to expand to other harbors.
Q.: What do you normally see out there as far as trash?
A.: If you look in the harbor at any time and see trash floating past you, it's most likely made of plastic or Styrofoam. We pass out large clear trash bags so we can easily assess what was collected after each cleanup. Most of the bags' contents will look the same, with plastic bottles and packaging from fast food or "convenience store" food items leading the way.
Q.: What are some trouble areas you are finding in Newport Harbor?
A.: The late February storms brought a lot of trash with them through water ways dumping into the Back Bay, and I would say the vast majority of the close to 600 pounds we have collected so far has come from that part of the bay. Most of the pollution started somewhere inland in cities like Irvine, Tustin and Santa Ana, traveling via sewers and flood controls that dump into waterways such as the Peters Canyon Wash, Rattlesnake Canyon Wash and the San Diego Creek. Eventually that trash unfortunately gets dumped into the environmentally sensitive Back Bay.
Q.: Is each harbor different? or do you see similarities in where trash gathers?
A.: Yes, each harbor is most definitely unique and will need to have a specific plan to best deploy an effective cleanup plan. Comparing the contrasting dynamics of Newport Harbor and Oceanside Harbor is a great example. Newport is a very large bay that consists of both man-made and natural habitat, and is subject to large scale human activity in its immediate surroundings. Oceanside is one of the smaller harbors on the coast, is completely man-made with no natural habitat, and is only affected by storm drains from the immediate area, and has minimal human activity surrounding it.
Q.: Where would you like to see the program expand to?
A.: We set out to build a simple program that was both scalable and portable. The goal is to have a cleanup in every harbor just as you see a beach cleanup almost everywhere along the entire coast of the U.S. on every first Saturday of the month (at a minimum).

text: On December 15, 2014, the Honorable Jane L. Johnson of the Superior Court of Los Angeles certified a class action brought by the Kazerouni Law Group, APC against Water and Power Community Credit Union ("WPCCU"). [A true and correct copy of Judge Johnson's Order may be read here]. In this Action, the Plaintiffs alleged that WPCCU violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692, et seq. ("FDCPA"); and, the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1788, et seq. ("RFDCPA") due to illegal statements in WPCCU's collection letters. According to Judge Johnson, Plaintiffs' class action was a "superior means of resolving the litigation for both the parties and court." [See page 7 of Judge Johnson's Order]. Thereafter, Judge Johnson continued to state that such a class action was appropriately certified since "numerous parties suffer[ed] injury of insufficient size to warrant individual action and [] denial of class relief would result in unjust advantage to [WPCCU]." [Id.]. The Kazerouni Law Group, APC believes this is a strong result that will provide relief for more than one hundred California consumers.

2013 Scion FR-S: It Is So Choice
October 25, 2012
I'm placing myself at risk of veering off into hyperbole land here, but I love this car.
I drove our BRZ for a couple weeks earlier in the year, and I just got into our FR-S yesterday. Similar to what James wrote a couple days ago about the Focus ST (which I haven't driven yet, admittedly), the FR-S and BRZ just match everything that I truly enjoy about cars. The way it drives, the way it looks, the way it was designed -- it's like Toyota/Subaru knew exactly what I wanted ... and then built it.
If you're of a similar mindset and have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. Failing that, you should at least see if you can snag a test drive at some point.

In Search of Sisupal (Part 2)
Summary: M'rina explains that she was with an expedition looking for this city when the mercenaries they hired betrayed them. They sold her and Daugma, the leader of the expedition, to the anole tribesmen as slaves. Although she managed to escape, Daugma is still being held captive. Plans are made to rescue him after they have spent a little more time exploring. It rains all night, but with Krista's help, they are able to keep a small fire going. The next morning is bright and clear. At False Dawn, they hear the sound of music coming from somewhere in the direction of the palace, whose towers they occasionally glimpse through the undergrowth. The sound dies away after a few minutes. Ganjan decides to scout ahead, and takes to the air on Vi. When he reaches the area of the palace, he sees that the grounds immediately surrounding it and the courtyard inside are free of the jungle's encroachment. In the courtyard bright flowering shrubs send up a sweet scent, and a fountain sprays water into the air. Vi wants to land, but Ganjan manages to convince her it would be better to tell everyone else first. He flies back and informs everyone of what he's seen, and the party proceeds deeper into the city, passing through the Nobles Circle and into the temple district. Kailua suggests finding a temple where they can take some rubbings for Sandeep, the mockingbird who translated the map for them. They find one devoted to Nagamíssa. The roof has mostly collapsed, and inside trees and shrubs have pushed up through the tiled floor. Kailua begins to make rubbings of inscriptions on the walls while the others look around. Arjuna notices that there are few suthra tracks here, and begins poking the shrubbery with a stick. He uncovers a baby makri the size of Harthuk, which screeches in terror. This brings out the rest of the babies and their mother, who is almost as big as Vi. She and her seven children fight ferociously. Even after she is brought down fairly early in the battle, almost all of her babies fight on. On Ganjan's orders, the sailors from the skyship hustle Kailua out the door to ensure her safety. Ganjan wounds several makri but is forced to climb a tree as he is swarmed. He leaps down with his spear and impales one of the babies, but is again forced to retreat. Krista, not at his best after a bout of insomnia the previous night, is able to wound several, but is seriously injured and flies up to the broken roof. Kailua, refusing to wait outside, re-enters the temple with her reluctant guards. Her shell protects her quite well, and she is able to finish off several of the babies. Arjuna kills the mother and at least one baby, M'rina shoots several with a borrowed bow, and the sailors dispatch the wounded. Vi, who is also perched on the roof and has been anxiously watching Ganjan, now examines Krista, and with surprising gentleness, takes him in her foreclaws and flies him to the ground so he can be examined and treated by Kailua. Everyone agrees that it is probably unsafe to perform a healing ritual here, so she makes do with non-magical medical care. The decision is made to press on to the palace in the hopes of finding shelter and perhaps assistance from whoever has been tending the gardens. By early afternoon, they are standing before the gates of the palace, which are wreathed in flowering vines.
Story Points: 2 for Arjuna, Ganjan, Krista, Kailua; 1 for M'rina

After working with Ridley Scott on "The Martian," Kate Mara is reteaming with the filmmaker on another sci-fi tale, this time to be directed by his son, Luke Scott. THR reports Mara is set to topline "Morgan" alongside newcomer Anya Taylor-Joy.
The story follows "a corporate risk-management consultant who is summoned to a remote research lab to determine whether or not to terminate an at-risk artificial being." Seth Owen wrote the script, which landed on the 2014 Black List of the best unproduced screenplays.
Mara will next be seen as Sue Storm aka the Invisible Woman in Josh Trank's "Fantastic Four" reboot opposite Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell. She plays an astronaut opposite Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain in Scott's "The Martian." She's also wrapped indie thrillers "Man Down" opposite Shia LaBeouf and "Captive" opposite David Oyelowo.
Taylor-Joy broke out in Canadian horror flick "The Witch," which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to tremendous buzz.

Combat Kafunsho! Products to Help You With Hay Fever in Japan
It's around this time, just as we dare to dream of an end to winter, that many of us in Japan are confronted by another of nature's challenges (and possibly its most annoying) in the form of kafunsho 花粉症, pollen allergy, or in more familiar parlance, hay fever.
There are a number of allergy sources in Japan but the two heavy hitters are the sugi (杉) and hinoki (ヒノキ/檜) trees, of which there are many; the result of a post war reforestation program to create construction materials which, in large part, were never used. So today, in a similar way to the nation's cherry blossom trees sweeping the land from south to north unleashing a wave of beauty, an excess of Japanese sugi and hinoki trees unleash their own wave of allergy inducing particles.
The sugi based allergy is prevalent from February through April. Hinoki, in March and April. These trees are unique to Japan so many of us will have had no idea of such allergies until our arrival in the country. Symptoms include sneezing, a runny/blocked nose, and red, itchy eyes. More severe symptoms are fevers and headaches. For first timers, this allergy is easily mistaken for the common cold. If you're unsure, a simple test at an ear, nose and throat clinic (耳鼻科/jibika) will clear things up.
Unfortunately there is no known cure. There are, however, myriad of products easily available to help us get through this tricky season, if we know what to look for.
For The Nose
In your local pharmacy/drug store look out for アレルギー専用点媚薬/allergy senyou tenbiyaku. Nose drops (for use against allergies) to you and I. This is used to combat 鼻づまり/hanazumari/blocked nose, 鼻水/hanamizu/runny nose, and くしゃみ/kushami/sneezing.
Instructions for the product pictured above state that it is not to be used by children under seven years. At one time, use one push in each nostril 3-5 times a day. Wait for 3 hours between each usage. If ineffective after 3 days of use, see a doctor.
アレルギー専用鼻炎薬/bienyaku translates as nasal inflammation medicine (pictured below, left). This medicine is taken orally as indicated by the Japanese 14日分 28錠/14 nichibun 28 jyou/14 days worth, 28 tablets. Only for use by people over 15 years. Take 2 tablets a day, in the morning and late afternoon. Medicine like this is similar in components and strength to that which you will receive from a doctor. It's recommended to begin taking this medicine some two weeks before the allergy season starts.
To translate from the box pictured below (left) …
しっかり効く!- Very effective.
眠くなりにくい!- Reduced effects of sleepiness.
口が渇きにくい!- Reduced effects of dry mouth.
For The Eyes
To help with those red, itchy eyes you'll need some eye drops. Keep an eye out for 眼科/ganka (pictured above, right). This is difficult to translate without getting very scientific, so let's just call it, err, stuff for your eyes! Such medicine is often labelled with 目のかゆみに効く/mei no kayumi ni kiku/effective for itchy eyes. Instructions state that this is not to be taken by children under 7 years. Do not use with contact lenses. It may also induce sleepiness, so avoid use while driving. There are no specific directions for quantity and frequency, so use your own judgement. If your eyes are very painful for any reason, avoid using this medicine.
Anything that puts a barrier between your eyes and the pollen will be of service during the allergy season. These days there are glasses out there designed for this purpose, where the lens projects out to seal the space between one's eye and the frame. If this is beginning to sound like a pair of swimming goggles then you would have been right, a few years ago. Now, the appearance is much more subtle, and people can get away with wearing such specs without looking, well, silly! Any glasses store worth its salt will sell them, including uber chain JINS, the link to which we provide here, and which demonstrates well what we're talking about.
All Round Protection
This subheading is a little misleading as, other than leaving Japan, there is nothing one can do to achieve full protection from these allergies. We're in the business of damage control here!
One of the easiest purchases to make at this time of year is the surgical mask. Simple, cheap, pretty effective, and with no sides effects, other than making us foreigners feel self-conscious!
For the home, you may want to invest in a 空気清浄機/kuukiseijyouki/air purifier. Although they're a little heavy and clumsy, there are those that double as a humidifier 加湿機/kashitsuki for the dry winters (see more on that here). Starting at around 20,000 yen from major stores, they aren't cheap but they do come highly recommended, turning your home into a, relatively, allergy free oasis. Shop around to find better deals! See what we're talking about here on the Yodobashi store website.
At the other end of the price scale, next time you're in the supermarket look out for sprays labelled as 花粉プロテクト/kafun protect, 花粉ブロック/kafun block, or 花粉ガード/kafun guard. For around 500 yen you get a bottle of spray for your clothes that helps to prevent pollen particles sticking to you, and also keeps your threads smelling nice a fresh throughout the day!
The above products can all be used to combat allergies/discomfort caused by house dust/ハウスダスト, as well.
Please bear in mind that information we are giving here is only in the form of suggestion. A starting point, if you will, and cannot take the place of speaking to a medical professional.
AccuWeather.com provides English language forecasting for allergies in the Tokyo area.
Let us know if you've found an effective way to combat kafunsho!

No, President Obama is not a communist. Many right-wing commentators have accused President Obama of being a "communist" or "socialist," while those on the left of the political spectrum have accused the president of supporting conservative and market-oriented polices. President Obama's mixed record of policies tracks both right and left.
In financial and national security issues, Obama has continued many of the conservative policies of his predecessors. In other areas such as taxes, he has sought to raise taxes on the rich, a policy proposal that angers many conservatives. Obama is a centrist liberal democrat, ideologically similar to former President Bill Clinton.

Quality Sleep with Linen duvets
Let's talk today about linen duvets (or linen duvet covers)! Why are they considered a luxurious bed linen to have? Why are they good for your health?
Duvet covers are a usual piece of bed linen mainly in Europe. In the United States comforters are used with flat sheets between one and the sleeper. But a custom of encasing a comforter with a cover is getting popular in USA too. To keep down comforters clean and hygienic one must put a cover or them. Avoiding flat sheets makes bed making quick and easy too!
As duvet cover is used directly next to skin, it is very important, what fabric it is made of. And because a duvet is a large piece of bedding that is clearly visible and noticeable, the design of your duvet cover plays major role when creating an atmosphere in the bedroom.

By Guest Blogger: René Rodriguez, Current Entrepreneur and Former Photographer/Owner of René Rodriguez Photography LLC
I've been an entrepreneur for sixteen years. I've built several multi-million dollar businesses, and have been fortunate enough to mentor other entrepreneurs who have gone on to be successful.
Without a doubt, the critical keys to my success in business and in life — and that of the entrepreneurs I mentor — are mindset and paying attention to my gardens.
Okay, I don't literally mean gardening. I like to think of life as a series of gardens.
We all have multiple gardens, be they: a relationship with a lover, parent, sibling, or friend; an unfulfilled dream; our career; our physical body; or our emotional well being.
Neglect any one and it dies. The death may come quick or it may be slow and excruciatingly painful to watch.
The tending of your gardens is hard work.
You'll want to give up. Don't.
Stop whining about how hard it is. It's your garden! Unless, that is, that particular garden is not really important to you. If so, let it go for someone else will love and tend the way you could not or would not. The exception being your own mental, physical, and spiritual health, or the garden that holds your unfulfilled dreams. Those are all on you. Neglect those at your own risk.
When I have failed relationships, businesses, or my health, it has been — without exception — because I failed to tend a garden.
Like you, I have several gardens that need my attention. If you follow me on social media, you know the gardens I talk about most are my work and the pursuit of dreams.
While I am happiest and at my most successful when I tend all of the gardens that are important to me, the rest of this article will focus on how to succeed at business.
I am confident that applying these principles will help make you succeed at anything in life.
Take the time needed (but no longer) to come up with a logical plan on how to get from where you are to where you want to be.
Be clear about what you want to achieve, and know what your version of success looks like.
Once your plan is clear, be hyper-focused. Don't get distracted by shiny objects.
Many people are good at one thing or the other. They are either good at dreaming up plans that they don't execute well on, or they are reactionary, executing in life without a clear idea what they're doing or why.
Be passionate and keep why you're doing what you're doing in mind. Dig deep on figuring out what your 'why' is and remember that when things get tough. This will get you through most of the difficult times.
Chasing money is a fool's game. Money is just a tool. Instead, find ways to add value to the world, your customers or employers, and the money will follow.
Never stop learning. Warren Buffet has said, "The more you learn, the more you earn." This has been true in my life.
You can't improve what you don't measure. Know and understand your KPIs (key performance indicators). I've never met a successful person who didn't know their KPIs and couldn't recite them without having to pull up a spreadsheet.
There are three things that are highly correlated with success:
– Intelligence (your IQ is not static; see #5)
– Focus
– Self-control
There are no mistakes in life, only experiments you ran too long. If you're doing something that isn't working, stop it and move on. See it less as a mistake but as an experiment you ran that didn't work. Learn from it and move on.
Every successful person I know or have heard of has mentors. Warren Buffett, Oprah, Michael Jordan, Steven Spielberg… the list goes on and on.
The right mentors will make a massive impact on your life. I've been fortunate to have five mentors without whose guidance I wouldn't enjoy the life I have today.
Have a positive outlook, but thinking positively isn't enough. Get your head out of the clouds and put your back into your work. You need real, physical energy to make your dreams come true. Sure, some people get lucky and some are born into privilege. But you and I have to hustle to get where we want to go.
When I played Little League baseball, my coach put me in center field, partly because I had a strong arm and could throw the ball from the fence to home without a relay, but mostly because he knew if a ball was hit anywhere within 30 yards of me, I'd catch it or hurt myself trying. Where others would let it fall if they couldn't get to it quickly enough, I'd sacrifice my body and dive for it every time. I'd dive for it head first if it was in front of me. I'd dive for it into the fence if it was over my head. I'd dive for it knowing my teammate was going to ram into me because he couldn't see me coming. I wasn't born with some innate talent for diving; I just wanted the ball more than the next guy.
I heard Will Smith say that if you and he get on a treadmill, one of two things is going to happen: you're getting off first, or he's going to die on the treadmill.
Simple as that.
It's that type of work ethic I believe that you need to succeed. I see it in the successful people I know. When others are sleeping, they're working. When others are eating, they're working. When others would rather be fishing, they're doing exactly what they want to do: making their dreams come true.
There's a quote that I like and that I've been thinking about a lot lately:
"What we vividly imagine, ardently desire, and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass."
It MUST inevitably come to pass. However, "failure isn't an option" is only a catchy phrase unless you're willing to put the hard work in and have the right mindset.
Quick, there's the ball… going for it?

For the last ten years, around the first full moon of the year, I have lead a special beach side devotional rite in order to Yemaya (also spelt Yemoja and Iemoja), the Yorùbá Orisha or Goddess of the living ocean around. This year is no different.
On Thursday, 12th January I invite you to join me in this informal rite that will be held at Grange Beach where we will be asking Yemaya to bless the world's waterways, seas creations and all other beings that fall under Her protection.
Around 8.00pm we will be gathering on the grassed area along the forefront in front of the Grange Hotel (look for the purple banner) before heading down to the shore at 8.15pm. The rite will commence around 8:30pm.

MissSnoogans said: The story was pretty damn weak. At least the action was worth viewing. I love watching her give head. She should show more teeth when she does it. As you can tell by the reverse cowgirl that chicks need to firm up. Hell yeah Dylan was working that cock good but the tummy needs work. I enjoyed the doggy as well. Did know the Major Stud had that much range when he shoots. Nice chemistry by the two. Snoogans!
