The first 2 steps of View & Zoom work fine but, when I select Default, the screen returns to the original small screen size - What I need is to know how to reset the Default screen size.

Okay, I don't know how to reset the default size. However, you can go to view, zoom, and just choose zoom in!
Helpful Reply
Step 1: To make the screen a bigger font size by default, i tried this and it worked for me: Tools, Options, Content Fonts and Colors: change your lower number to a larger number font size for example 20, click on advanced button to the right of the 20, change numbers in the three places to 20, click ok, click ok. Bonus Step 2: while you are playing with default screen font sizes, life will also become easier if you also add the plus and minus zoom buttons to your toolbar: View, Toolbars, Customize, and drag any toolbar buttons you like into the toolbar. By having the + and - buttons you can adjust for size readability of your browser view with just one mouse click or two. windows xp, firefox 4.0

Thanks BB for leading me in the right direction. Along with font size you can also change the font. Mine was set to Times New Roman as a result of some previous tinkering. If did not render well and did not respond to a Win7 restore. In Firefox options I changed it to System font and all is clear. What is the default font for FF? Cheers, GC

Cure Sweaty Palms
Sweaty palms, also known by the medical term Palmar hyperhidrosis, is a common problem that plagues many. It can take place regularly or during times of stress. In the most severe cases, people seek surgery or get Botox. There are home kits too that use electric currents to cure or treat the problem.
The treatment may be expensive and therefore people turn to some home remedies that can cure sweaty palms as well. You can also check with your doctor before you switch to home remedies to understand the severity of your problem.
Causes of heavy sweating
Everyone sweats mostly during hot and humid weather conditions. But there are people who sweat excessively to the extent that the moisture literally drips from their hands. Hyperhidrosis is when you sweat heavily without any reason.
The sweat glands generate perspiration which is carried to the surface of the skin when there is a rise in the temperature. As a result, you may suffer from fever, or feel nervous, anxious or stressed. When these factors are not the cause, it could be something else.
Basically the nerves that indicate sweating are put on hold. In most cases, the sweat glands don't respond like they should and sweating takes places even when the weather is cool. Some face sweaty palms even when they are in a pool.
The causes of heavy sweating largely depend on the kind of sweating that takes place. Sometimes, heavy sweating can be harmless and may be cases when doctors are clueless about the cause. There are medical treatments to cure sweaty palms such as over the counter medicines, surgery and more.
Also, there are home remedies that effectively work towards curing sweaty palms. If you are at the initial stage of this condition, you can certainly consider these home remedies.
Home remedies to cure sweaty palms
Tea soak
This is one of the most effective home remedies for sweaty palms. The tannins in tea have an adequate amount of astringency to prevent palms from sweating. Astringent products have the capability of shrinking pores and decreasing sweating.
Use a large basin, preferably heat proof, to prepare a large quantity of black tea using 5 tea bags. Add around 1 quart of water. After steeping for around 5 to 7 minutes, remove the tea bags. Soak your hands in the liquid after it cools down for about 30 minutes every night. If you want to simplify the process, you can hold a brewed tea bag in your hands at least once a day.
You can use antiperspirants that come in roll-on form on your arms in addition to your underarms. Make use of a product that is solid instead of a spray and check the label if specified that it dries quickly and clearly. Furthermore, the label should also indicate whether it is an antiperspirant and not just a deodorant spray.
This helps in understanding if the product is effective in preventing sweating or simply helps in controlling odor. Check for the ingredients clearly to figure out if it contains aluminum chlorohydrate.
Rubbing alcohol
Rubbing alcohol works wonders as it contains astringent liquid. Before you plan to go somewhere, wipe your hands and palms using a cotton ball that is soaked in rubbing alcohol. You can also use witch hazel which is a natural extract in a similar way. Look for witch hazel pads that are stored in plastic jars for better portability. However, do not use them daily as your hands may get overly dry.
Cold water
Another natural astringent is cold water. The effects of cold water may not last long when compared to other treatments, but do reduce the problem of sweaty palms to a great extent. If you soak your hands in cold water for 30 minutes, it prevents your palms from sweating for as long as 3 hours.
Baking soda, cornstarch or talcum powder are effective solutions as they absorb light sweat. If your palms sweat excessively, it is best to avoid this process to ensure that your skin is not further irritated and aggravate the problem. You can use powdered herbs as they have deodorizing and astringent properties. Mix with baking soda, powder or use alone. Use lemon, sage, lavender, orange peels, rose petals and willow oak bark to make powdered herbs.
Rosewater vinegar
You can make the astringent properties stronger by adding vinegar and rose water as they make the best natural antiperspirants. Buy rose water and mix with white vinegar equally and apply on the palms twice a day.
Thus, these are some of the best remedies to deal with sweaty palms. You could also refer to the most useful program Sweat Miracle.

Not since the early 90s has plaid been the print du jour. Back then we would team it with Doc Martens, baggy jeans and a cropped cami, tying some sort of tired and wrinkled plaid shirt around our waist in homage to No Doubt. Man, we were cool back then and man, we used to say "man." Cringe. These days, however, pretty plaid is all about structure and sparsity as some of the cutest prints wrap themselves around the trendiest threads. Whether its work or play, here are just a few of the cheekiest plaid pieces from around the web this season.
1. Mackage Margraet Jacket, $650 from eLUXE.ca; 2. Lauren Jeans Plaid Border Scarf, $52 from The Bay; 3. Plaid Crossbody Foldover Bag, $49.95 from Le Chateau; 4. Valentino R.E.D.

Random programming and coincidence between filmmakers, two French films, "Leaving" ("Partir") by Catherine Corsini and "Regrets" ("Les Regrets") by Cédric Kahn, were released in France with the same actor Yvan Attal, and the same type of story: a story of a man that love will make him crazy and will push him in extreme reactions against the rejection of the woman he loves.
On the other, the film "Regrets" where Yvan Attal, main character, goes to live adultery with a former youth sweetheart played by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi.
In both films, this will be the same image of a woman on the run: the character of Valeria Bruni Tedeschi in "Regrets" will flee in Chile with another man while the character of Kristin Scott Thomas in "Leaving" will flee with Sergi López in Spain. But in both cases, Yvan Attal attempt to keep them with words and then with violence. This violence will also be an important scene in both films when the character of Yvan Attal will cling to these desperate women in order to retain them and then to assault them, to threaten them, to beg them, to trap them in his arms, in vain.
Architect in "Regrets" and doctor in "Leaving", the characters played by Yvan Attal are freed from economic problems but are not free from love. Main character in "Regrets", so active character, he can be temporarily free of this weakness (the film's ending is open about this) but secondary character in "Leaving", then passive character, he will succumb to this weakness.
Still, it is amusing to notice this kind of coincidence among film directors who have found in the same actor the ability to embody love and its excesses. So, in those two films, Yvan Attal plays the figure of the mad love that only death can free you if you do not take charge of your destiny by being the main character of your own history.
Finally, it is also interesting to note the coincidence in the choice of titles of these two films because according to their alternation, either moral of both films is: leaving then regrets or regrets then leaving?

Cherry Orchard Blossoms
Living in Cherry Orchard these past few years offers a window on the changing face of inequality in Ireland of the Celtic Tiger. A few things strike me as I travel each day from where I live to where I work in U.C.D. There are many more people going out to work in Cherry Orchard than four years ago. More of them are travelling in cars, some of them new. Some of those whom I see coming and going to work are people who, five years ago, I would not have predicted would ever find employment. The opportunities simply were not there.

Some dreadful planning decisions and environmental blunders were made in Irish cities between the 1930s and the end of the 1960s. It is hard to imagine them taking place today. For instance, there is no possibility that the authorities in Northern Ireland would today be allowed to drive a motorway through the middle of Belfast, effectively cutting it in two. No local authority would now be allowed to design an area like Drimnagh in Dublin, a development of over 5,000 houses built in the thirties without a single green space. The destruction of part of Georgian Dublin\'s Fitzwilliam Street, to build new offices for the E.S.B., could not happen today.
The November 1997 issue of Working Notes featured an article entitled \'Working Class Cultures: Can They Adapt\', which referred to the process of cultural analysis. The focus of that article was certain features of lower working-class culture (such as early school leaving) which made it difficult for young people in working class areas to participate fully in our modern economy.
This article discusses more fully what cultural analysis is, and how it can be carried out. It may be possible for community workers, for instance, to carry out a modest project in this area, perhaps as an alternative to the more common \'needs analysis\' carried on in communities.

Will more tears be shed during Thursday night's (March 3) American Idol?
It was the cry heard 'round the world on last week's show when season one winner Kelly Clarkson came back to perform her emotionally charged song "Piece by Piece."
She cried a little. But Keith Urban cried a lot.
As Clarkson had explained to host Ryan Seacrest, "I actually wrote it pregnant with my little girl, and now I'm pregnant with my little boy. So if I don't make it through and I start crying, just laugh. It'll make me feel better."
During her performance, Urban was visible crying as Clarkson was singing about her father's abandonment.
"The song, it's insane," Urban later told Entertainment Tonight. "I figure you're either crying at this performance or you need to check your pulse."
"I was starting to wonder if maybe I was (pregnant), too," Urban laughed. "The humanity in that moment was just (incredible). You never see that, let alone on TV, so I was so grateful to be there to witness it."

entrenched in retail since 2008 and have made it our business to thoroughly
understand the industry.
Our unique hands on holistic approach combined with a continuous thirst for innovation is what sets us apart enabling us to provide a premium and comprehensive range of solutions to the retail sector.
BFG has an end to end metal processing plant that has been the foundation of the business and our proving ground. All key processes are completed in house from material preparation through to fabrication and powder coating. We produce a variety of temporary and permanent displays.
BFG covers every aspect and executes all concepts from manufacture and floor planning right down to installation. We create your retail space from start to finish.
Housing a 3200 mm x 2000 mm high volume SwissQ Nyala 2 digital flatbed printer, we are able to ensure you, as a client have access to a full spectrum of print capabilities at competitive prices. Our print management team ensures you receive the full benefit of this technologically advanced print facility.
At BFG we are always excited to work on projects that enable us to push the boundaries of Perspex and acrylic design and fabrication. We continually strive to offer our clients the highest quality service, drawing on our full range of machining facilities to enable rapid turn around. Our attention to fine detail and quality has resulted in many stunning examples of acrylic fabrication which makes up the huge portfolio of work and the variety of industry sectors we have worked for.
This is the starting point for BFG to create solutions that enhance the customer's experience at every touchpoint. With a clear understanding of the shopper journey and the messages needed to guide it, we are able to create appealing work that also factors in manufacturing efficiencies. This is where value is engineered and problems are solved through innovation and the same creativity and lateral thinking that enabled us to bring to reality our unique business model.
Design is our strength, through which we have the ability to solve complex problems with simple and efficient solutions. Customers deal with us for all the reasons which make strong business sense, and we are proud to be associated with these great brands.
In 2007 I introduced the late Lawrence Anthony (International conservationist, environmentalist, explorer and best selling author) to the Mayibuye Community, who were the successful recipients of 21 farms at Camperdown in KZN through the Land Restitution Programme.
We believed the land would make a magnificent game reserve and entered into a deal with the community – if they committed their land to conservation, we would bring opportunity through business. For the deal to work we knew that we had to create a new conservation model as the traditional approach was not capable of generating sufficient opportunity to the community and we needed a mechanism capable of creating sustainable opportunity on a large scale.
This is where the idea of BFG came to the fore. At a first glance, a retail solutions business seems an odd bedfellow to a game reserve, but when you go back to the deal, it makes perfect sense.

We have come a long way since the internet first reached our screens in the 1990s. It is fascinating to take a look back over the evolution of web design to see how we have arrived where we are today and where we may be headed in the future.
HTML, the first coded computer language used to build websites, came into existence, as did the first web browser, Nexus. In 1991 the very first website went live, a totally text based page created by Tim Berners-Lee providing information about the World Wide Web Project.
In the early 90s only 16 colours were supported by the Internet, however this quickly grew to 256 towards the end of the 90s. As the colours grew, websites started adding photos, and the Internet became a whole lot more visual.
This was also the point that extremely bright, flashing advertisements began to appear on webpages to catch viewers' attention. By the end of the 90s, HMTL had been upgraded multiple times and new web languages were being created and used. 1998 saw 100 million users online as well as the launch of Google. The Internet was being to take control.
Text was now being overtaken by visuals, with shorter and shorter catch phrases on websites' cover pages, using bright, attractive visuals and headlines to grab viewers' attention. Menus and navigation became more commonplace, meaning websites could contain more for their clients and viewers, without having to try and fit it all onto a single page.
WordPress was launched in 2003, making having a website or a blog accessible to anyone and everyone, even if you didn't know how to code or couldn't afford to pay someone to. Towards the middle of the decade, webpages began increasing their functionality and readability as well as using flash animation and animated content. Social media was born in the form of MySpace and then Facebook and YouTube.
In the second half of the century stock photography was launched, meaning that companies could access visuals for their sites without having to pay a photographer to take photos specifically for them. The iPhone came into existence as well as mobile Safari, the first smartphone web browser. This was a turning point for web design as designers now had to consider how the sites they were designing would appear on a hand held device.
2010 – Present
Javascript animations were introduced along with animated GIFS and flat design overtook gradients as designers moved to simple static graphics to keep their designs cleaner. Into a world with over 1 billion websites now live, responsive web design was introduced, changing the web design playing field completely. Digital marketing through search engine optimization also became more important for small, medium and large businesses.
Designers had to learn this new coding, and businesses had to consider the value of catching up to this trend.
Predictions for the future
It is predicted that web designers will have to stay on their toes as new devices are introduced faster and faster to be able to ensure the responsive sites they have designed remain responsive to all available devices. A focus on cover pages that grab the viewer is predicted, as well as a move away from flat design again towards more advanced and fine tuned use of gradients in graphics.
It's hard to predict exactly where web design will go, as we don't know what new products and innovations may be just around the corner, but it's safe to say it has come an incredible distance since that first web page in 1991, and it certainly isn't going to stop here.

With an ongoing commitment to research and development, Alpha's efforts span the healthcare industry and have produced a long list of innovative industry firsts.
Since Dr. Joseph Kurian and Kuttimol Kurian opened a single medical laboratory back in 1971, Alpha Healthcare has grown to become a diversified healthcare services company that provides wide a range of solutions for health care providers, pharmaceutical companies and the individual patients they serve.
Today, Alpha has offerings in several areas including medical testing laboratories, diagnostic imaging clinics, medical arts facilities, industrial quality assurance labs and information technology solutions.
Alpha applies their decades of experience, commitment to research and innovation, and a personal touch in everything they do to enable health care professionals deliver superior patient experiences.
Our Mission
Alpha Healthcare exists to develop and deliver innovative solutions, that enable the health care community to provide superior patient experiences.
Our Beliefs
As a family-run business with many long-service staff, it is no surprise that Dr. Kurian's vision of making medical technology accessible to all health care providers is distinctly evident in Alpha's day-to-day operations.
As you explore this website and learn more about Alpha Healthcare, we hope that you get a sense for our core values, namely:
Innovation – pursuing new creative ideas that have the
potential to change the world.
Ownership – people taking care of the company and its customers as if they were their own.
Community – contributing to society and demonstrating corporate social responsibility.
Our logo
Dr. Joseph Kurian named the company, and developed the brand symbol featuring a stylized letter 'α' (representing the Greek symbol of alpha). The square represents our pursuit of perfection; the dot in the center represents the pupil in a human eye, studying everything that we do. Together, the symbol represents a company with vision, in the pursuit of perfection.
Alpha Research and Development
Advancing the state of medical knowledge and clinical practice has been part of Alpha Healthcare's 'DNA' since the company opened its first medical lab in 1971. Despite the accelerating pace of new developments in disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment – and the pressure on practitioners to 'do more with less' due to the aging population and constrained funding – Alpha remains firmly committed to its mission: Advancing Healthcare for All.
Recognizing that the burgeoning field of information technology offered new possibilities for improving the quality of patient care and enhancing healthcare outcomes, in 2000 Alpha created Alpha IT – a division of the company focused on conducting innovative information
technology research and developing practical IT solutions to contemporary healthcare challenges. Alpha actively engages in strategic partnerships with leading academic institutions in order to jointly explore new frontiers in healthcare research and practice. At present, Alpha has ongoing research and clinical placement agreements with three leading Ontario universities: University of Waterloo, York University and University of Guelph and Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences. With a number of patents and contributions to advancement of science, Alpha continues to advance healthcare for all.
Our Roots
At Alpha we believe it is the circle that has entrenched our Roots. That Leadership and direction does not come from the top and penetrates itself through layers of bureaucracy. That each of us has something valuable to contribute and with this process the circle is complete. Like the Knights of the Round Table. The table itself was round so all had equal voice that was valued.
We all have the power to make the difference and create something special.
Join the circle and make that difference.
A core value at Alpha is contributing to society and demonstrating corporate social responsibility. We want to have a positive influence on those who come in contact with the company – employees, customers, suppliers and patients.
Our Community
The images on this page represent a small sample of the events that Alpha and its employees sponsor across the many communities where they work and live.

The Silliman brothers repeat as All-PBC honorees after taking the honor last season. They both join the elite class of Daniel Horseman, Richard Dobson and Josh Hollar as the only two-time honorees in program history.
Third on the squad and 24th overall was junior Shawn Olmstead (Buford, Georgia), finishing the course in 26:27. Completing his first PBC Championship in a personal-best 26:38 was freshman Lance Underwood (Blairsville, Georgia) good for 27th, and senior Austin Campbell (Cumming, Georgia) started the final postseason of his career with 28th, tying his personal best with a 26:40.
The Bobcats had 87 team points, just six out of third place and Flagler College. UNC Pembroke won the team title with 36 points, and UNCP runner Joshua Chepkesir was individual champion as well in 24:22.
GC Men's Cross Country is back in action Saturday, Nov. 17 at the NCAA Southeast Regional in Dahlonega, Georgia.

No instructions came with this guy so the internet had to help me out in putting him together. All in all, I'm happy with how this one came out, but I'm finding myself already bored of this ghost-making technique. I'll likely be moving on to something entirely different for my next model. Anyway, more pics after the jump.

Patient Dies After Being Left Outside a Nursing Home
According to reports, Robert Robinson, a former Nevada legislator and optometrist, died less than three weeks after he was left outside the Nevada State Veterans Home by nursing home staff. The 89-year-old man suffered second degree burns on his body while sitting outside at the height of the summer heat and without proper protection. Later that day he was rushed to the hospital. According to his death certificate, he later died from "sepsis, cellulitis, cutaneous burns and prolonged environmental heat exposure." Initially, nursing home staff said that Robinson could not have been outside for more than 15 minutes. This time frame was later altered several times, even claiming the burns occurred while Robinson was being transported to the hospital. Hospital staff were doubtful of the stories, stating that "you don't get those types of burns in 15 minutes." The nursing home did attempt to take steps to fix some of the issues, including terminating the employment of the certified nursing assistant who was assigned to monitor Robinson. Other corrective measures include the creation of a new policy on excessive heat precautions. The home also has until Dec. 19 to pay $20,165 in fines to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid for infractions found during the state's investigation. However, this is not enough. The Robinson family, feeling a duty to warn the public, is now suing the nursing home. The facility is also being investigated for "potential criminal activity" and Medicare fraud by the Nevada attorney general's office.

In the United States, meanwhile, popular movies portrayed heroes with clean-shaven faces and "crew cuts". Concurrently, the psychological mass marketing of Madison Avenue was becoming prevalent, and makers of safety razors were among these marketers' early clients, including The Gillette Company and the American Safety Razor Company. The phrase five o'clock shadow, as a pejorative for stubble, was coined circa 1942 in advertising for Gem Blades, by the American Safety Razor Company, and entered popular usage. These events conspired to popularise short hair and clean-shaven faces as the only acceptable style for decades to come. The few men who wore the beard or portions of the beard during this period were frequently either elderly, Central European, members of a religious sect that required it, sailors, or in academia.[citation needed]
Make sure that you brush off any excess hair that might be in the blades before you begin. Once the oil has saturated the blades, wipe them down, making sure the blades are dry on top so your hair doesn't stick.
Let me just put you at ease since you're here, it's completely normal to loose beard hairs. We lose hair from head to toe every day all year long. Beard hair is much thicker and coarser, so it will show up much easier on your pillowcase. You don't need to shave your beard off. What you can do to prevent it from accelerating is decrease the amount of time you spend combing or brushing your beard. Make sure it's a high-quality one so it won't snag and pull out your hairs.
A good way to straighten curly hair is to use a blow dryer and a comb after showering. Use the comb to hold your hair straight and let the blow dryer dry your hair. You could always use an straightening iron as well. See this Wikihow on how to how to get wavy hair.
The Gentleman's Beard Balm is a great all-in-one beard moisturizer, conditioner and styling aid that is especially helpful for people who want their beards to look thicker. For best results, wash your beard with the all-natural fresh wood beard soap and apply beard balm when dry. Scrape out a dime sized amount of balm and rub between your palms. Run your fingers through your facial hair, starting from the neck and working up, making sure to rub balm into the skin where your beard grows.
To apply beard balm simply open the tin and use the back of your thumbnail to scrape some out. Warm the balm in between your fingers by rubbing them together. Gently apply the balm to your beard with your fingers and massage it in. Use a comb to then evenly distribute the balm. A brush can be used for this step but a comb is much easier to clean and maintain when applying product.
For the "euro style, corporate look" I'd go with a 1 day to 2 week look. A nice stubble, and trim using clippers on the lowest setting as needed. Do not trim up the neck line or cheek line as the natural stubble look is what you should be aiming for.
To put it simply, beard balm is a leave-in conditioner. It moisturizes, conditions, softens and helps you style your beard. The majority of beard balms contain shea butter (for softening and moisturizing), sweet almond oil (for conditioning and growth), and a sealant such as beeswax (to retain moisture).
One of the Best Rotary shaver that have all the goods from the Panasonic and Braun and delivers the ultimate when it comes to the Best men's beard trimmer. The Philips Norelco Touch 3D is named so because of its unique feature of moving in 3 dimensions that makes it a good choice not only for trimming beards but also the hair on the head.
The most important factor, of course, is how it did what it's intended to do, i.e., trim your beard and perhaps touch up other areas of your face. We also look at how much each product costs, and, as with all of our reviews, we want to cover a wide price range. Hopefully, it will help you to pick a trimmer that will serve you well for many years.
As always, Honest Amish stands apart from some of the other brands out there by using only all-natural and organic ingredients. Remember, your body is absorbing this stuff, so it's important to consider that aspect when shopping.
I'm looking for an unscented beard balm – you say number 4 is unscented but that's wrong – look it up and you'll see that it smells of sandalwood (the clue is also in the name of the product). Any ideas where I can find a decent natural unscented or minimal scent balm?
Never neglect the 'stache. That strip of hair grown above the upper lip is what gives most beard styles consistency, and one way of upholding it is with moustache wax. Percy Nobleman's moustache wax is loaded with natural ingredients from beeswax to argan oil to keep skin feeling and smelling good.
Try "beard lube" to combat itchiness or dryness. While they're not super-commonly used among men with beards, there are a variety of beard oils on the market, which can be combed into clean beards to keep them looking shiny, moisturized, and clean. It can be a desirable look, and it may give relief to men with sensitive skin who suffer from itchiness.
As for the trimmers, the ones with the (best) flexible comb, powerful motor, and sharper blades are going to produce a more even trim assuming you are putting in the same effort. On this list, I'd say the Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer Series 7200 should give you the most even trim overall.
Pulling off certain beard styles requires a top-tier beard trimmer. The Philips Series 7000 Beard Trimmer makes facial hair a permanent, polished fixture with 20 built-in length settings to tackle the longest of strands or the roughest of stubble. Philips' lift and trim technology works by raising and guiding hair through the self-sharpening steel blades, shearing through for a more dynamic cut. Tidying up is just as ideal with the trimmer toting an integrated vacuum system designed for sucking up to 90% of cut hairs.
Sweet Potatoes – High in Beta-carotene this will help with the cell growth in your beard. What happens is that the Beta-carotene is converted into Vitamin A and this will lead to more cell growth within the hairs located on the beard.
Grooming a beard does take time but when you see the results it is well worth it. These are just some general guidelines for beard grooming to help get you started. As with everything in life there will be nuances depending how long your beard is and other factors like if you have dry facial hair that will influence that product you will choose. If you think I missed a tip, please do tell me in the comment section, I'd love to hear from you.
Not necessarily. You can get to the optimal wavelengths with powerful laser flashlight too, just make sure that it's in range of 630-850nw, and you should be able to mimic the results seen in studies by pointing the light to your beard area for 20-30 minutes per day.
As for combs I recommend either a handmade plastic or handmade wood comb. Kent Combs are simply the best plastic combs you can buy out there. They are handmade, and they care about the products they put out. The comb is first molded, then sawed so the comb has teeth, and finally sanded and polished, making a nice clean looking comb.
This one should do the trick: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VS-Sassoon-Lithium-Pro-Cordless-Beard-Trimmer-Stubble-Shaver-Wet-Dry-24-Lengths/222593813168?hash=item33d3a00ab0:g:U84AAOSwo41ZeHJn Though it only goes up to 5 mm, but that should not be an issue for most. I use a version of trimmer myself.
A physical change that is common to most teen boys is the appearance and growth of facial hair. If your teen seems to be anxious about his mustache, or why he doesn't have a beard yet, our suggestions below may be able to help him. So, read MomJunction's tips on how to help your teen facial hair to grow faster.
Since testosterone occurs naturally in your body, that means there are ways to increase it without supplements. Lifting weights and exercising is a huge factor in that, and we'll get into the best workouts you can do later. Along with working out, you'll want to be getting plenty of carbs, proteins, and the good kind of fats in your body. This ups your energy level, metabolism, and helps with testosterone production. Getting plenty of rest and reducing stress will keep your body healthy and ready to grow a beard as well. So let's dive deeper into all of that!
While you can use any good quality styling scissor for trimming your bear, it's best to use a compact scissor like Percy Nobleman's Beard and Mustache Scissors, because they're small enough for you to do fine detail work that's typically necessary if you have a mustache.
During the early nineteenth century, most men, particularly among the nobility and upper classes, went clean-shaven. There was, however, a dramatic shift in the beard's popularity during the 1850s, with it becoming markedly more popular.[37] Consequently, beards were adopted by many leaders, such as Alexander III of Russia, Napoleon III of France and Frederick III of Germany, as well as many leading statesmen and cultural figures, such as Benjamin Disraeli, Charles Dickens, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Karl Marx, and Giuseppe Verdi. This trend can be recognised in the United States of America, where the shift can be seen amongst the post-Civil War presidents. Before Abraham Lincoln, no President wore a beard;[38] after Lincoln until Woodrow Wilson, every President except Andrew Johnson and William McKinley had either a beard or a moustache of some sort.
Occasionally, you'll stumble upon beard oils advertising other beneficial skincare additives such as glycerin, safflower, Shea butter, and even wheat germ just to name a few. Familiarizing yourself with the formula will help kickstart your beard grooming routine.
If like to point out that hair has an enormous surface area and if you get an oil with a fragrance that massive surface area will readily release the odor to the air. Also remember where your nose is in relation to this fragrance and ask yourself if you really want to have the odor of pine trees blasted into your nose 24/7/365. I strongly recommend odor-free oils and balm.

Frequently Asked Mattress Questions
Mattresses at Ashley Furniture HomeStore
You spend a large part of your life asleep, so make your bed into a restful haven! With a collection of items that range from plush to California King, Ashley HomeStore has a mattress that will help you sleep soundly — whatever your mattress needs are!
How Long does a Mattress Last?
Mattresses have a long shelf life, which is why they're considered an investment purchase. A majority of mattresses last for 7-10 years but can last longer depending on care. However, a memory foam mattress can last well over 10 years due to the supportive and durable high-density foam that makes these mattresses special. With proper care and a mattress protector, natural latex mattresses can also last well over a decade.
How to Clean a Mattress?
When was the last time you cleaned your current mattress? We often forget, but giving your mattress a thorough clean is a necessary chore that prolongs its longevity. You start by stripping it of its sheets and vacuuming the entire surface with the upholstery attachment on your vacuum. Make sure to get deep into the crevices of your bed frame and headboard to capture all the dust bunnies. Then, scan the mattress cover for any stain and spills that you need to spot clean. A good upholstery or enzyme cleaner will make sure that stains disappear in a flash. To give your mattress a nice, refreshing scent, deodorize with baking soda. Don't be stingy, you can use upwards of a whole box of baking soda during this step. After the mattress has been thoroughly covered, let it sit for a few hours — it's best to do this task before you leave for work so your bed is all clean by the time you get home. Once you're ready, vacuum up the baking soda and top off your deodorized bed with clean sheets and other bedding.
What Size Mattress to Buy?
There are several mattress sizes out there on the market, but the sizes you need for your home ultimately depend on your personal preference and your intended purpose. A Twin mattress is a great option for small kids to grow into their teens. If your child needs more length opt for a Twin XL, which is the standard mattress size for college dorms. This bed size is also a great option for single adults who have a smaller, cramped room. A Full mattress is wider than a Twin but smaller than a Queen, making it ideal for single adults or a couple that doesn't mind snuggling up during the night. The Queen size mattress is the most popular size since it's perfect for both single adults and couples to sprawl and sleep in. Coming in with an additional 16 inches of width is the King. This mattress is the same height as a queen but provides plenty of space for sleeping, watching movies and cuddling with your fur babies. Most people think a California King is widest mattress you can buy, but in reality it's four inches shorter. But what it lacks for in width, it makes up in height with an additional four inches in length compared to a standard King — perfect for taller individuals. If you want to learn more about what kind of mattress you should buy, check out this helpful mattress guide.

1) When i run it on device android 2.2 for first time . It force me to download new updtaes for Official YouTube app from Google play store . After that it works fine and didn't ask for further updation or download of YouTube app . So is YouTube api uses Youtube app for palying video By going through the api code i found out something
public static Intent createVideoIntent(Activity paramActivity,
String paramString1, String paramString2, int paramInt, boolean paramBoolean1, boolean paramBoolean2)
return a(newIntent("com.google.android.youtube.api.StandalonePlayerActivity.START").putExtra
("video_id", paramString2), paramActivity, paramString1, paramInt, paramBoolean1, paramBoolean2);
When i look inside YouTube app code i find a
activity classnamed
StandalonePlayerActivity. But the video is playing inside the UI container designed by me using
com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView which is a part of Youtube api . So what is api doing with the above
activity class(StandalonePlayerActivity), what is its role?
2)It didn't work on Android 2.1 ,why is it so ?
Please somebody explain this?

Must read Books for the summer:
My Boyfriend Wrote A Book About Me
This book is crazy Funny. It is "fictional" but more a retelling of a breakup from the writers perspective. As if ending a relationship is not bad enough…her (Hilary Winston) boyfriend wrote a book about it…what is the best revenge??? Write your own book. Loved it!
The Art Of Racing In the Rain
I have always been a dog person (aka my constant posting of Lola), but this book really put me over the top. The story is told from the perspective of the dog, which makes you as a reader feel the vulnerability of the story. I found myself laughing, crying, and most of all loving my dog even more after I was finished. And now I always make sure I say hi to Lola when I get home! I finished this book in one day….I just could not stop!
Water for Elephants
All I can say is that I slowed down while reading this book because I did not want it to end!
Happy Poolside Reading!

When I'm Sixty-Four- The Beatles
Happy Wednesday. I had the best weekend with my hubby and it made me think of this song. When Brian and I got married we had this play after the pastor announced us husband and wife. I loved the melody; it reminded me of the perfect start to a happy story or movie. I also loved the idea of us being old and grey together. Anyways, it is one of those songs that always puts me in a better mood. Enjoy!

Thanks to Lovely Happenings for sharing this song with me. It puts a smile on my face….so I decided to share the smiles! Perfect song to listen to in the car during the summer with the windows down and sunglasses on!

Dharma Offerings
A time and place for contemplative practice and meditation, to look deeply and connect with who we really are.
An ineffable field underlies, permeates, and ignites all phenomena: the vastness of the expanding universe and the most minute thought-forms and particles of matter all unfold in the boundless terrain of the dharma. Its rhythm can be seen in the circling of the planets and stars, in the cycles of days and seasons, in the pattern of our breath and the cadence of every beating heart.
We honor the wisdom of many traditions, from the nonduality of advaita Vedanta to Buddhist thought and practice, from the treasures embodied in indigenous and earth traditions to Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the mystical insights gleaned by poets, philosophers, and spiritual adepts of every era.
In these gatherings, chanting, meditation, poetry, teachings, and reflection soften our mental constructs and illuminate the generous shape of the heart. These practices invite us to experience the boundless consciousness of heart/mind as love, compassion, kindness, wisdom, and joy.

An Israel Prison Authority parole board has rejected a request for early release on behalf of Rabbi Eliezer Berland, who is serving a sentence after admitting to unacceptable behavior and actions.
According to a Channel 2 News report, since the rabbi is hospitalized and undergoing therapy and not imprisoned, there is no reason for his early release. The board refused to convene to discuss additional requests on the matter.
The prosecution voiced its objections to the rav's early release too.
The rav was sentenced to 18-month imprisonment following his conviction. He is scheduled for release in September 2017. Supporters hoped his ailing medical condition might be grounds for his release at this time.

|Thread Tools
An Inquiry into MAGVID
to find out what this thread is all about,
download this PDF http://blog.lege.net/Mathias_Bage/GL...-annotated.pdf
it is leaked information about an energy field and how to create it.
Mathias Båge has given a very good analysis of the device in the PDF as well
I have been working on this idea for a bit now.
set up a small low power test and got no results,
but various alternate ideas that keep showing up in the ARV thread and the Alexey Chekurkovs Flying Discs and Replication thread point to this MAGVID idea likely to work.
also, I have seen some of what the MAGVID did in the tests with other things I tested in the past.
So, at least to me, it really looks to me like this idea is worth replicating
I first went at the design from the point of view as if it is a particle accelerator.
that seems to be the point of view of the person that leaked the idea of the device on the web.
but now I am wondering if the leaker had got the idea a bit wrong from whoever he got it from, or even potentially the techs working on it just used poor word choice to tell what was going on.
if it is a an open air particle accelerator, then the more you optimize the design, you end up with 2 coils that are single turn and set inside each other at 90 degrees, the frequency will be the one wavelength resonance for the single turn. They will be electrically driven at 90 degrees out of phase. And will be inside a DC magnetic field at the other 90 degrees from the other 2 coils.
so that is what I built.
I had enough of a DC magnetic field (about 800W in if it matters), but only had about 35W in for the spinning field. I ran it in the 1.25 meter radio band.
and it just did nothing.
from the leaked info, they said that around 40 megajoules was a very marginal field.
so I guess my power in was way to small. but having seen some of the effects in the 150W or less range with physically spinning magnets, so now I am left wondering if the particle accelerator idea lead me down the wrong path.
now I am wondering if it is accelerating something like ether (or a time field)
many models of reality don't help us here, but
if you look at the science of wilbert smith, he says this reality we are in is made of "frozen reality", and tells you where it is frozen at. And if he is correct, the MAGVID is the sort of thing that you would build to melt this reality.
melting reality would make that volume fluid like a dream world.
and if this is the case, then it is all about power into the field.
then you don't need frequencies that would be suited only to electron acceleration, and this makes it quite a bit easier to build (without having it kill you when you run it).
so I tried building that, had about 50W in to the field in about the 40KHz range into what was about an 15 inch sphere, and got nothing form that as well.
have thought this through, and I need more power if I want it to work.
Strikes me as the easiest way to get more power is to make the coils resonant. A simple coil capacitor resonance is pretty efficient at bringing up the amperage in the coil, kind of a pain to tune though.
and would need to do this in 2 to 4 coils all at the exact same frequency. Pricey, and annoying, but possible
I am considering using 10.7MHz as that is where some plasma welders run, so the RF noise from it should be unnoticed and should be possible to get a high power source somewhat easy as harbor freight tools sells the cutters that use that part, but still unlikely to get to the quoted 40 megajoules lower limit.
anyone else have any thoughts on the MAGVID ?
not trying to distract from any building on likely more tangible ideas,
I am just trying to set up things to keep in mind when testing current projects, and what might happen if you face the magnets at 90 degrees to what people are building for the Alexey Chekurkov verification. and maybe when that project is done, this MAGVID idea could be explored to more closely get all the features that are seen in UFOs in the sky
Hi spacecase0,
I spotted your thread the other day but haven't had any time to devote to it and really it needs the input from others.
I think we are learning thanks to the Alexey right now. I think that after we get some where with that then the Magvid will be thought of as alternatives are sought out and as awareness and understanding take place. I know this is true for myself and that I have gathered in a lot because of the Alexey and so now maybe I can revisit the Magvid and come away with some other understanding. You're ahead of the curve is what I'm saying. Be patient it will grow I'm sure.

OK, so I've been thinking a little about this. Just as a thought, recall the big basin drones, those as well as a few others of a similar nature all showing up around 2006/07.
Now I'll have dig out the magvid material and take another look, but I see some possibility there for a device like the magvid. Consider the Magvid as a sort of base to start from.
A bit more time to think upon this after refreshing my memory on the machine.
"The past is now part of my future, the present is well out of hand." Joy Divison "Heart and Soul LP."
I had thought of that as well when I first saw the MAGVID info,
but that round hollow core they have, seems closer to the ARV as to how it functions. just that it has the tall wires for capacitors.
I also tested this setup at about 18KV and a 1T magnetic field, spun the electrostatic charge at the with a high voltage rotary switch (at whatever speed that DC motor ran at. Got no results. so I guess that I am likely wrong as to how the drone worked.
was going over the math on this device
and if we are trying to move electrons as said, my magnetic field was about 1000 times to strong...
so, looks like the earths magnetic field starts to show up as a factor in this device (because it is strong enough)
so I start to wonder about geometry (because of questions on other threads) and what else may make this field
so what kind of field does something like a wire pyramid make when aligned magnetically ? the more I look at it, the more the pyramid seems like it might be a low power MAGVID device
think I have figured this one out
wilbert smith complained that he tried a switched magnetic field that trying to switch a much larger direct current field. His problem was that the 2 fields integrated
now keep that in mind
when looking at the magvid
it uses a spinning field and a one directional field,
so what happens if they integrate ?
you get a vertical magnetic field that is spinning, right ?
would seem that the idea that this device is accelerating electrons likely happens, but I am not convinced that it is the primary function of the device
so, would seem that the description of the device should be followed as said with no second guessing.
forgot to mention why this is a great design
I have tried other designs, and you run in to an issue of inductance gets in the way of being able to put to much power into the field.
I made a 6 phase power supply and put it into coils, the virtual moving magnetic field hits the speed of light at about 3 foot out (not hard to do), but the inductance of the coils is quite an issue at that high of frequency, so I could only get about 25W into the field. and I saw no effects at that low of power.
so this is where the MAGVID idea is so neat, it uses the other issue that people run into in order to make it easier to put power into the field.
if you set it up with 4 AC coils and the one DC coil in the center (magvid method 2), it is way easier to get power into the field, and if you use high Q capacitors to get resonance in the coils, you should get even more power into the field . and be able to do it way lower price and complexity than other methods.
so that appears to be the real advantage it has, lower complexity and price for what you get.

Maybe if you think about this in terms of how Ken Wheeler has suggested flipping of the gravitational field with magnetic fields. I haven't had time to really get back to this, nor to review the material and look for possible ways that might be taking place.

this really should be easy to understand, or at least the "how to" part, and how that links back to something we can easily see.
so, let me try to clear it all up.
this first part is the theory and the why of it, it might be confusing, so if you don't want that in your head, skip to the next part, but I will try to show why it is confusing and you really should read the entire thing to get it.
when trying to figure out what gravity is, you find that the equation for electrostatic attraction is the same as for gravity (just the constant is changed). So that is our first hint. Next go look at the equations for voltage and you get some very odd math, regular physics talk of "divergence". The physics of wilbert smith say it is a divergent spin field. Go back to the equations and what wilbert smith said matches the math.
so now with that in mind, look at an asymmetrical capacitor, we know it generates acceleration when you are charging it.
So for the confusing part. What is the field created by an asymmetrical divergent system when it is being charged ? Someone with better geometry and math skills will have to figure out the details on that one, but my guess is that it just creates an asymmetric spin field (an an asymmetric spin field is also known as gravity)
I am also pretty sure this is not how nature makes gravity.
Oddly there are 2 things we read as voltage.
And here is where the fields integrating needs to be talked about, so we take a short break for that.
if you have 2 magnets and put them together at any angle, the fields get together and form one field (so the term "fields integrating")
If you put a magnet near an electrostatic field, the fields stay entirely separate, so the fields do not integrate.
make sense ? I really hope it does as there is not an easier way to say it that I know of.
Now back to the 2 kinds of voltage.
One is electrostatic and the other is induced voltage. Each will read on your volt meter, so they appear to integrate as far as you can see on the volt meter, but each one stays separate. M. J. Hooper spent his life proving this, so see his work for all the details.
For now, just remember that electrostatic voltage is the electricity that is the charge that sits on a capacitor, and the induced voltage is made by a moving magnetic field (as happens in a standard electric generator). And a quick demo of how they work together, imagine an electric generator with superconducting wires just to make the math easier. Now short the output while it is running. You have seemingly no electrostatic voltage or induced voltage, yet current is flowing. What is going on here is that you have equal and opposite electrostatic and induced voltage, so you have them appearing to ingrate and end up with nothing, but the current flowing shows us that they are not integrating, each is still there and acting as it would normally.
Back to nature and gravity being everywhere.
The inside of a sub atomic particle is moving, the entire things are made of field forces, not that I am going to get into the formats of this (see Krafft for the details). But they make a rotating magnetic field, get enough together and they make a large field. So look at a planet, you get voltage being made by the planet, and less (or none) being made in the space around it. Another way to put this is that it is an asymmetrical voltage field. And just like the asymmetrical capacitor, the acceleration moves to the smaller plate.
some people want some real world evidence this is happening, so here goes.
There is a large voltage field around earth that depending on your point of view is either causing gravity or is the effect of gravity.
And there ends up being a counter voltage that is electrostatic (just like in the previous electric generator example), this ends up being the power for lightning. If you listen to the VLF band, you can here every lightning strike on earth (Quite fun to here), the largest gap in strikes I have ever run across is about 1/2 second, and the average is extremely consistent, just not the sort of thing you would get if it were wind making friction. Also, you can measure the "atmospheric electricity" with a very high impedance volt meter even when you are inside a mostly conductive building.
so, to sum up.
Gravity is caused by an asymmetrical induced electric field.
Now you could also call that an asymmetrical time field, and that would likely be more accurate, but let us not confuse things with new ideas for the moment. (but that idea should be in your head)
part 2, now that we know what is going on, how to counter gravity ?
we know that an asymmetrical capacitor while being charged will accelerate to the smaller plate (actual voltage polarity does not matter)
But just when you start to get some real lift going it arks over.
You can use high K dialectics and other fancy things to get it to work, but it is going to be pricy, physically large, and not that compatible with conductive things like human passengers.
So the solution is to stop using the electrostatic and use induced voltage. That way you don't need fancy capacitors, you can use a solid block of copper, insulators, fraday cages, or whatever and it all still works (just like real gravity).
Now you have 2 choices here.
You can make a simple rotating magnetic field and get a single induced voltage, but you need it to be asymmetrical to work, so the field of the earth will be that other voltage. Not sure if you will have issues of making earth the other half of your device as the 2 induced voltages would clearly have to integrate, and I am just not sure if that is super easy or hard to do, but either way, you will be limited to a large gravity field near your device.
you can make your induced voltage asymmetrical in the first place.
But there is the question of how to do this.
First you are going to need to have the voltage vertical. And the magnetic field inducing it has to be spinning, it can't just be changing in magnitude in place.
This is where the MAGVID is the perfect solution, you have 2 magnetic fields, one spinning and the other static. They integrate and give you a vertical spinning field. Sadly this is still not asymmetric as would be ideal, so you likely need to make your static vertical magnetic coil a bit of a cone shaped (like that large coil on the ARV is to a small amount).
looking at Alexey Chekurkovs Flying Disc,
the magnets seem correct, the spin seems correct, but it is not asymmetrical, I am pretty sure what would be going on here is that the high voltage (AC and DC) is doing some odd integrating of the fields back to earth. Would be likely more effective to make the top ring of magnets closer to the shaft and the bottom disk further away from the shaft. But could be the separation from earth as a component would make it not a large enough effect to be noticed easy.
And just to be clear, I go remote view most ideas and hardware before I go building it. What I got from Alexey Chekurkov's work is that he is convinced that this works. Either he got the ideas from something he watched running, or documents he saw, or something like that. But he can't (or thinks it is a bad idea) tell publicly where he got the information from.
And at least his first attempt failed to reproduce it. So he acted like it worked and shared it with the world, adding ideas like "tricky to tune" so that others versions might actually work.
I can't see if he ever got to work or not, now there are to many others looking at it now messing with it energetically.
looking at the ARV, it seems to be using a method to spin the magnetic field other than how the MAGVID does. And it is angled, so that the field is asymmetric.
did all that clear things up ?
Thanks, this is probably your best post ever for me personally. Helps a great deal. Take a look at this video aljhoa posted this in the ARV thread. Might be useful.
Ken also mentions electrostatic attraction in the video, but where Wilbert Smith say it is a divergent spin field is correct, now appears only half correct using what we now know today about the centrifugal confluence of the magnetic field: Remember Wilbert didn't the advantage we do in this area. By the way, this video does make clear that there is the toroidal divergent spin field and a centripetal centrifugal confluent field. So there are two spin fields and not one.
Wheeler's video is also very helpful because he defines that there are only two types of possible antigravity systems. A repulsion type system, and which relies on another mass, a so-called MMA, or "mutual mass acceleration," and the other type which creates an artificial or false mass, otherwise referred to as the PSA, or "point space acceleration" system.
"The past is now part of my future, the present is well out of hand." Joy Divison "Heart and Soul LP."
actually they are all versions of spin fields in the dimensions past the "tempic field", so that would be 3 of them.
he also tells of 2 ways past gravity, and then points to the tempic field being likely the most easy to build
to bad we don't have him around to ask questions to like we have for the others you talk of.
as an update,
was thinking about the MAGVID layout,
the guy was interested in the side effects and not the antigravity effects.
so seems like the center DC coil needs to be some sort of cone shaped to get the direction to push gravity around (like the large coil on the ARV is)
so keeping all this in mind,
I tried to make a magnetic spin field that was shaped
I did it in ferrite this time,
used a permanent magnet for the DC field, and one of the ferrite cores from an old TV set for the AC coils.
tested getting a compass to spin at 1 to 2 Hz, so after I got it to spin, ran it at 200Hz and 40KHz at about 20W. put the entire thing on a balance, checked with my accelerometer, and got nothing from it in any arrangement.
I did use the coils already built on the ferrite from the TV, and the one set seems great, but the other set is not quite right as it has a gap in the middle, so I wonder if that kept the field from spinning as it should have. Suppose I need to wind my own coils now and test again.
but it may apply here, this idea I have just will not let me be till I share it.
what if the fields I have been making with the MAGVID prototypes are working perfectly, and my inert test items (plastic, aluminum, wood) are the wrong thing to be using
the downed ships we find are not made from some inert material
so, I may need to run all the tests again after I get some fancy metals to test with.
I don't have a vacuum sputtering setup, so not sure how to make thin layered metals. I wonder how thick the layers can be and still work.

The city of Puebla was the site of the 1862 battle that is celebrated on Cinco de Mayo
While Cinco de Mayo may not be the Mexican Independence Day most gringos think it to be, it is an important holiday that recognizes an enduring sense of Mexican and Mexican-American patriotism. May 5th, 1862 is remembered as the date of a famous victory over an army of better-equipped French soldiers in the Mexican state of Puebla. While working as an English teacher in Mexico, kick back and celebrate the triumph of Mexican forces against the French. Enjoy a delicious margarita or two and toast to yet another one of France's military misadventures.
In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is largely a regional holiday, primarily taking place in Mexico City and cities within Puebla. The territory of Puebla was one of the first in modern Mexico to be settled by humans. Traces of settlements dating back to 10,000 BC can be found in a number of river valleys throughout the state. Also known for it's historic haciendas and traditional pottery workshops, the downtown of Puebla was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987. Fascinating archeological sites, colonial architecture and gorgeous natural landscapes are additional reasons to explore Puebla while teaching English in Mexico.
The people of Puebla, poblanos, theatrically re-enact France's defeat at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 every year in part of their Cinco de Mayo celebration. Local participants dress up as either French or Mexican soldiers- the French are known by the wine bottles that peek from their bags! Colorful flags are prominently displayed, food stalls fill the streets, and mariachi bands provide festive live entertainment. Bullfights occur in certain cities, only adding to the day's excitement.
Military parades are organized in both Puebla and Mexico City, with elaborate floats, folk dancers, and lively marching bands competing for the crowd's attention. Traditional Mexican food, such as tacos, chalupas, tortas, and meats with a variety of mole sauces, are prepared and enjoyed on Cinco de Mayo. A display of fireworks typically concludes the day's festivities. On a trip to Puebla, you can visit the forts of Guadalupe and Loreto, where the battles themselves took place.
As an English teacher in Mexico you'll have the chance to participate in Cinco de Mayo celebrations as a local, taking in the festivities and experiencing the patriotic ambiance firsthand. In general, the minimum academic requirement for English teaching positions in Mexico is a university degree and a TEFL certificate.
The demand for English instruction in Mexico is very strong, particularly in the cities of Mexico City, Juarez, Monterrey and Oaxaca. Onsite TEFL certification courses are offered in two scenic locations within Mexico, in the cities of Guadalajara and Ciudad Guzman. While enrolled in your TEFL class in Mexico you'll have a chance to acclimate to some of the cultural norms before you begin teaching. Though an afternoon siesta break, relaxed attitude towards time, and delicious tequila shouldn't take too much getting used to.
The bulk of English teaching positions in Mexico are found within private language schools, which typically provide their employees with work visas. Other English teaching opportunities can be found in primary or secondary schools, within universities, or in a business setting. Instructors typically find work year round. Interviews may occur in-person, or via phone or e-mail in advance.
Particularly within the past 50 years, the celebration and festivities associated with Cinco de Mayo have spread to the United States. Given the wide dispersion of Mexican immigrants throughout the country, Cinco de Mayo parties are held consistently in states, such as California and Texas, with significant Latino populations.
The one of the largest largest celebration of Cinco de Mayo in the United States occurs in Chicago as it is one of the country's largest Mexican heritage popupation. Should you choose to become TEFL certified at our onsite TEFL course location in Chicago, you're guaranteed to have a front-row seat to this year's festivities.
Cinco de Mayo Facts:
- The city of Puebla is a prehistoric human settlement- the oldest sample of corn in the world was discovered here, dating back to 150 BC
- Mexico's real independence day is celebrated on September 16th, commemorating their declaration of independence from Spain on that day in 1810
- The battle in Puebla took place between an army of under 4,000 Mexicans and an army of over 8,000 Frenchmen, led by the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte
If you'd like to spend Cinco de Mayo in Mexico, living and working as a local, consider becoming TEFL certified and working as an English teacher abroad. Obtaining your TEFL certification through the International TEFL Academy will prepare you for a life-changing adventure anywhere overseas.

IMEX Policy Forum 2018: Tuesday 15 May, Frankfurt, Germany
"Where the Meetings World and Public Policymakers Connect"
One of the Industry's longest running, most prestigious and influential Forums has undergone an evolution with a name change reflecting a shift in focus. The newly-named IMEX Policy Forum, formerly known as the Politicians Forum, will take place on Tuesday 15 May 2018, the first day of IMEX in Frankfurt, at the InterContinental Hotel.
The Forum launched in 2003 and has established itself as a crucial connection point for the meetings world and public policymakers. Over the years it has proved to be a major catalyst in advancing the understanding of the critical role that the meetings industry plays in many aspects of national and regional development. The subtle change in name better reflects the event as it is today, bringing together the meetings world and public policymakers with the aim to influence policy, rather than just politicians.
The Policy Forum will bring together some 40 policymakers with around 80 industry leaders, and address five core elements: Strategy, Advocacy, Development, Engagement and Enlightenment in consideration of how to make the most of the wide-ranging benefits that investment in conferences and meetings can bring, from income and employment to inward investment, education, scientific and cultural advancement.
NEW FOR 2018 will be a workshop with Professor Greg Clark CBE entitled The Evolution of Cities in the Meetings Industry. Clark, the Chairman of The Business of Cities explains: "This industry is growing - it is sophisticated, substantial and has very broad and deep benefits for the places that host it. It also has important linkages with other industries and provides capabilities for many of the globalising and innovating sectors in the world today."
The IMEX Policy Forum is organised under the auspices of the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC).
AIPC members are invited to ensure their destination is part of this crucial conversation by inviting your city, municipal and national government policymakers to the 2018 IMEX Policy Forum to ensure that your destination is part of this crucial conversation.
Contact [email protected] for more information.
2017 Policy Forum Report : read Rod Cameron's report, including highlights from Professor Greg Clark's keynote and discussions during the Forum. From how city development has benefited from the meetings industry in areas such as employment, connectivity and diversity, to how governments and the meetings industry can work together to implement successful development strategies.

The England and Manchester United striker is nursing a chipped bone in his toe but is ready to sit out the rest of the season so he doesn't jeopardise his World Cup dream this summer.
Rooney had painkilling injections to get him through Wednesday night's 3-1 Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich.
But Starsport understands the 28-year-old felt significant pain in his left foot both during and after the game.
He limped home with the rest of the squad yesterday and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.
United have just five games of the season left and are desperate to produce a strong finish to salvage some pride.
But Rooney is more concerned with getting back to full fitness in time for England's World Cup campaign in Brazil.
A United source said: "The chipped bone will repair itself, but it won't happen overnight.
"He had injections in Munich because it was such a huge game and his team needed him, but in truth he shouldn't have played.
"The season is coming to an end and United have little at stake, so his main priority now is to make sure he is firing on all cylinders once the World Cup preparations start."
Roy Hodgson's men travel to Portugal for a training camp next month before facing Peru in a farewell friendly at Wembley on May 30.
The Three Lions will then jet to Miami to continue their preparations with two warm-up games before going on to Rio for the tournament itself.
Rooney is England's talisman and will be the central figure in the team's hopes for a successful campaign in South America.
He also knows it could be his last World Cup and is desperate to give himself the best chance of doing well following miserable campaigns in 2006 and 2010.
There is nothing to suggest he won't be 100 per cent fit before Hodgson needs him.
But the Three Lions boss is keen for his star man to do whatever it takes to overcome the problem.

I try to remind myself that even thoug we can anticipate, we don't know what is going to happen. So be open to whatever that might be.
I often feel like you are letting your anticipation be more important than the market. You learned that lesson on your entries. Maybe you are now experiencing that on the question about your...Ignored
