Wander(n) lust!
The best way to get there is by car and you can travel on the A2 autobahn, then take the Wiener Neustadt West exit and the village of Sonnleiten lies a further 25 minutes drive on the B26.When you get to Sonnleiten watch out for a sign for 'Wasserfall' on the right and there is a car park about 50 meters further where you can leave your car.
The reason I love this trail is the varieties of terrain and scenery you encounter along the way.It is particularly beautiful at this time of year with all sorts of autumnal colors blooming in every direction.After setting off from the car park about 15 minutes along the way you meet a spectacular waterfall where rock climbers accenting its cliff face.
The trail then twists rather steeply uphill through the forest.I always wear hiking boots but in good weather conditions running shoes will probably suffice. A particular joy awaits me 20 minutes up ahead where I cross a bridge over a stream. I always fill my water bottle with the cool spring water from the stream. It is the perfect excuse to take a break and quench your thirst.
About 15 minutes further the trek turns to a gravel road for a while and if you keep a close lookout for a signpost maybe 1 km down this path you will see the turn for the red trail in the direction of Edelweisshuette.You also know you are in the right place as Mamauwiese is signposted in another direction with an estimated trek duration of 15 minutes.After moving to the red trail this part of the route is the steepest you will encounter but I loved the reward of beautiful views of the mountains below me as I turned a bend and I could often hear the cowbells below in the pasture.
On my first trek to Edelweisshuette, we tried another place further up beside the cable car(Bergstation) but I have to say this Gasthaus is far superior and judging by the throngs of locals visiting it is something of a 'Geheimtipp'.Their draft beer is Puntigamer and is just the tonic for tired legs when you reach the top.I love a place also that celebrates local produce and they had Schneeberggamsgulasch on the menu last time and a really tasty Puchberger Bratwurst suppe the time before.The Almreserlhaus is a little tricky to find as it looks like a pretty unassuming farmhouse from the outside.It is located about 300 meters below the cable car on the left-hand side.You enter a gate, walk through a small farmyard and you will see to your left a luscious terrace with spectacular views across the Schneeberg mountains.

Common Tongue
The Common Tongue, sometimes called the Common Speech of Westeros,[1] is a language commonly spoken in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. There are regional accents,[2][3] but these do not result in a lack of comprehensibility.
While some free folk who live beyond the Wall understand the Common Tongue, many clans instead speak local languages.[4] The Thenns, for instance, speak the Old Tongue and can only speak a few words of the Common Tongue.[5]
The Common Tongue is the language spoken by the people of the Seven Kingdoms.
A difference in speech can be observed between the highborn and lowborn of the Seven Kingdoms.[6][7][8][9] These differences can be found in the sound of their speech,[8][2][10] but also in the use of specific phrases and words. An example is the use of "my lord" by nobles, but "m'lord" by peasants.[11] According to Lord Roose Bolton, peasants pronounce "m'lord" as if they have mud in their mouths.[11] Although the degree of which it is used differs greatly between the common born, the lowborn patois can be seen in multiple further instances:
- Example 1: "She ast me to, m'lord," Mycah said. "She ast me to."..."It's not no sword, it's only a stick."[12]
- Example 2: "She don't know me," he said, "but I knows her, oh, yes...I says, come."[13]
Regional accents can lead someone to determine where a person has been born.[2] This is not limited to the regions of Westeros (i.e., the north, riverlands, westerlands, Reach, Vale, Crownlands, Iron Islands, and Dorne),[2] but also specific cities.[14][15] The largest difference within the Seven Kingdoms can be found in Dorne, where the Common Tongue is marked by the influences of the language of the Rhoynar.[16][17] This influence can be found all over Dorne,[16] but most strongly among the salty Dornishmen,[17] who have the most Rhoynish blood.[18] The Dornish speak with a Dornish drawl,[19][20][8] stretching, rolling, or lilting some words.[17] Some describe the Dornish speech as charming.[17]
"I swear it," she said in the Common Tongue of the Seven Kingdoms that by rights were hers.[21]

Oxyrhynchus Mini-Lexicon...I Wish
You know what the world needs? More love? Yes. Peace? Yes. It also needs a mini-lexicon for the Oxyrhynchus papyri. There is a lot of text there and I think it could be very useful. Just taking the first bit of POxy 58 as an example, you've got στρατηγοις and ἐπιστρατηγιας. Those are districts in Egypt. Great. A little more info (that really would be inappropriate to LSJ) might be nice. Or how about ἑπτα νομων. Sure, you can see the translations in the published volume and in the Loeb translation (yes, I happened along some that even Loeb had) that the words should be understood as referring to a region named something like "Heptanomis", but a little explanation would be useful.
I really think this would be cool. Expanding it to other papyri might be a good idea too.
I've got too much on my plate at the moment. Anybody want to do that for me? :)

It's 3 p.m. Do You Know Where Your Child Is or What He/She Is Doing? An Exploratory Study on the Timing of Juvenile Victimization and Delinquency.
Soulé, David Alan
Wellford, Charles
MetadataShow full item record
In recent years, after-school programs have received considerable public and policymaker support for their potential to reduce juvenile delinquency and victimization. In large part, this support stems from a series of recent reports, which indicated juvenile crime and victimization peaks during the after-school hours (Snyder et al., 1996; Snyder and Sickmund, 1999). However, much of the existing research suffers from a few key limitations. Utilizing self-report data collected from a sample of juveniles participating in an evaluation of after-school programs in Maryland, this study was designed to more clearly determine the timing of juvenile victimization, delinquency, and substance use by addressing some of the key limitations of previous research. In general, the results of the current study present a somewhat different picture of the timing of juvenile offending behavior. The examination of the aggregated measures indicated juvenile victimization and delinquent was most prominent during the school hours, while substance was elevated during the weekend. Notably, an examination of the individual offenses revealed more variation in the timing of juvenile victimization and delinquency. The more serious violent offenses for both victimization (e.g. victim of an aggravated assault) and delinquency (e.g. involvement in gang fights) were elevated during the after school hours, while simple assaults offenses (for both victims and delinquents) were overwhelming most prominent during school hours. This finding suggests that one undesirable side effect of grouping youths together for schooling is an increase in simple assault crimes. In addition, the current study revealed the greatest percentage of substance users reported using cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana during the weekend hours. However after controlling for the actual amount of time available to use these substances in each time period, cigarette and smokeless tobacco use was slightly more elevated during the after-school hours than during the weekend hours, while alcohol and marijuana use were most prominent during the weekend hours. In sum, earlier studies that either examined a single offense or aggregated crime measures were misleading because the timing of crime varies considerably by type of crime. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.

Solange was a glowing goddess at last night's (Feb. 12) Grammy Awards. The first-time Grammy-winner wowed in two different looks during the event, including a pleated metallic Gucci ensemble. But, it was her gravity defying hair that won the red carpet.
[SEE ALSO: Must-See Hair & Beauty Moments From The 2017 Grammy Awards]
The natural beauty brought her slay game with her natural hair curled and twisted up into a perfectly tousled updo with soft highlights.
As if that wasn't enough, the Cranes In The Sky singer later posed it with her trophy in a sheer striped cut-out gown with her natural tresses teased and pulled out into a full afro crown (with matching earrings).
The trendsetter completed both looks with a minima face beat featuring brushed brows with barely there blush eyeshadow and artsy eyeliner swiped along her lids.

When we set out to see Motown: The Musical in previews last week, we did so with an emotion vaguely reminiscent of reluctance. We're not "musical people," we thought to ourselves. But then we sat down in the orchestra seats, we started smiling when the overture played, and we didn't stop grinning until the final bow. The play, which chronicles the love and life of Motown founder Berry Gordy and Diana Ross, includes numbers by Michael Jackson, Smoky Robinson, The Commodores, Stevie Wonder, and many, many more. Turns out, truth is: We love Motown music. We love a true story with an almost-happy ending. We love throwback style. We love crystals. And crystals there were, in plenty.
Tony Award nominated costume designer ESosa partnered with Swarovski to make larger-than-life (but still true-to-life) looks that complimented the songs and the actors perfectly, which is important when you're dressing legendary figures like Ms. Ross and her Supremes. For us, the highlight came when a fully-crystalized back drop and a figure-flattering, drop-waist silver number to match aided Valisea LeKae (who plays Diana) in a call-and-answer number with the audience. The whole stage was shining, the whole crowd was singing, and we couldn't for one second remember LeKae wasn't the "real thing." As for all those crystals? Well, you'll have a hard time keeping up with all 247,000 jewels that ESosa used in the show, so we'll just give you a sneak peek slideshow of the best looks before you go see the musical for yourself.

Use NumPad Keys To Position Application Windows With WinNumpad Positioner
We have previously reviewed TicClick – a Windows AeroSnap supported application which lets user easily adjust active application windows to different sides of the screen, it offers 9 positions in total with a small on-screen position adjuster to select the position of the window. Nonetheless, the only downside of TicClick is that it doesn't offer hotkey combinations for adjusting windows, therefore users have to bring up its adjuster and then select the position. WinNumpad Positioner offers what TicClick doesn't – simple hotkey combinations to adjust windows quickly. As it name implies, it enables user to dock window at any side through Numpad keys combinations. All the Numpad keys are mapped with the screen positions. You can for instance press Win + 5 to bring active window to center of the screen, using 7 instead 5 will dock the window at upper-left corner.
The application offers absolutely no interface and no configurations to tweak with. After the application is launched, you will see it lying in system tray, indicating that it's now up and running. Now all you have to do is to start using the hotkey combinations for adjusting windows.
- Win + 6 to move active window at right-side.
- Win + 4 to move active window at left-side.
- Win + 2 to dock down the active window.
- Win + 8 to dock up the active window.
- Win + 9 to move active window at upper-right corner.
- Win + 1 to move active window at bottom-left corner.
- Win + 7 to move active window at upper-left corner.
- Win + 3 to move active window at bottom-right corner.
It's must be noted here that these combinations only work with Numpad keys. In the screenshot below, you can view application windows adjusted through WinNumpad Positioner.
The application works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. We successfully tested it on Windows 7 x64 system.

Innovation the missed management element?
While looking at some references for a post on objectives and objective setting, I discovered an interesting entry by Drucker in his seminal work "The Practice Of Management".
In my version (p53 1963 Mercury books ) Drucker identifies eight areas for an organisation to have strategic objectives (in this order):
- Market standing
- Innovation
- Productivity
- Physical & financial resources
- Profitability
- Manager performance & development
- Worker performance & attitude
- Public responsibility
Given that this was written in 1955 some 55 years ago, if I had seen this in a publication new this year I would not be surprised. The only real changes we would see today is Worker=Employee and Public Responsibility=Corporate Social Responsibility.
Interesting, so why in the last 50+ years have we in the main ignored Innovation and Public Responsibility as primary developmental areas? Sure there have been many firms that have embraced these – but many business improvement tools and strategies look to incremental change rather than innovation and innovation in terms of research and development rather then management practices.
Drucker takes this further. In his book he sets out what should be covered by these eight objective areas. What he says about innovation is especially enlightening:
"There are two kinds of innovation in every business: innovation in product or service and innovation in the various skills and activities needed to supply them. Innovation may arise out of the needs of the market and customer; necessity may be the mother of innovation. ….. management must not forget that innovation is a slow process. Many companies owe their position of leadership today to the activity of a generation that went to its reward twenty-five years or so ago. many companies that are unknown to the public will be leaders in their industry tomorrow because of their innovations today" (p59)
Drucker realised that there were two areas where organisations could innovate – product and process. If you Google "Innovation" you get over 100M results. Scroll down these results and many focus on product or technology. Nothing wrong with that but its not where 95% of your employees operate. We need to look at the factors which we can engage the majority of our work force and look to make changes and improvements across the whole of our organisation.
In the current economic climate the saying "if you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got" – true for interpersonal relationships and actions, but this statement does not hold true for business and market share. We now need to focus on innovation as a management behaviour and skills as well as a product development process. We need to look at the innovative capacity of our people.
What are you doing in your organisation to improve the innovative capacity of your structures, people and culture? In much the same way that Meredith Belbin identified different team working behaviours and preferred styles of working, and suggested that the best performing teams were those that contained a balance of different styles, so it is with innovation. For a team to be effective and innovative over the long term, it is important that a balanced range of behavioural approaches are present.
How innovative is your organisation?
You may like to reflect on what innovation projects and actions are you involved in at the moment? And do you have a balanced team that can contribute to the various phases required of the innovation process?
- On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your organisation's ability to generate or recognise good ideas (1= what ideas.. 10 = world class, others look to us) ________
- On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your organisation's ability to put ideas into action and into "the way we do things here" (1=implement – what does that mean? 10=always implement quickly)? ________
Now multiply these two figures together = ________
If you score:
- 80-100 – WOW! keep up the great work
- 60-80 – Well done, you are getting there
- 40-60 – On the way, some more concerted effort is required
- 0-40 – You probable don't react to change too quickly, this can be a strength, but watch out for your competition
To find out the actual level of innovative capacity you have in your organisation have a look at https://rapidbi.com/creatrix/ where the drivers of innovation can be used to help change the innovative capacity of individuals, teams and organisations.

Cellulite is a skin alteration often described as an 'orange peel,' or 'dimpling' appearance on the thighs, buttocks and sometimes lower abdomen of otherwise healthy women. Although some men may get it, 90-98% of cellulite cases occur in women.
Cellulite is fat that collects in pockets just below the surface of the skin. Cellulite may be more visible than fat deeper in the body. Everyone has layers of fat under the skin so even thin people can have cellulite. Collagen fibers that connect fat to the skin may stretch, break down, or pull tight. This allows fat cells to bulge out.
Your genes may play a part in whether or not you have cellulite. Other factors may include your diet, how your body burns energy, hormone changes, and dehydration.
At My Bliss Clinic, we offer a selection of non-surgical and minimal invasive treatments: RF Venus Sculpt and Mesotherapy.
Using patented multi-polar radio frequency and pulsed magnetic fields technology, RF Venus Sculpt is your best option for combating cellulite and stubborn fat. The heat energy travels deep into the skin resulting in increased blood circulation, immediate plumping and glowing skin. Skin tightening and cellulite reduction occur because the multi-polar radio frequency causes a thermal reaction in the tissue which stimulates the body's natural healing response.
Pictures Courtesy of Venus Legacy
Mesotherapy is a safe, minimally invasive procedure used to "melt away" fat, and reduce fat and cellulite. It involves injecting microscopic quantities of a variety of pharmaceutical agents, natural plant extracts, homeopathic agents, and vitamins into the skin. Our doctor may select a custom formula to treat your condition. Mesotherapy may be effectively used to treat cellulite, weight loss, body sculpting, and rejuvenation – anti-aging of the skin.
Mesotherapy can identify specific targets or spots where the body stores excessive adipose & fat. Mesotherapy formulas injected in the meso-skin and disallow the cells from storing fat and help shrink the problem fat cells. Your body then flushes out the broken-down fat. Mesotherapy reduction can be used for double chins, love handles and any other area where your body pockets fat.

Florida law is unique in how it addresses DUI and driving privileges. If you've been arrested for a DUI in Florida, you only have 10 days to save your license.
Your driver's license is immediately suspended upon your arrest for DUI. For the next 10 days, you may drive only to work or for business purposes using your ticket as a permit. At the end of those 10 days, your license will be fully suspended, suspended with work privileges, or reinstated—depending in part upon your actions.
Take Action During the 10-Day Window to Retain Driving Privileges
First-time offenders have two options during the 10-day window. These options are:
- Request an administrative hearing (formal or informal). The purpose of this hearing is to determine if the officer had probable cause to arrest you for a DUI. You will receive a 42-day business-purpose-only license—also called a "hardship" license—immediately. If the hearing is lost, it could trigger a 30- or 90–day waiting period to get another Hardship license. If the hearing is won, your license could be reinstated.
- Forfeit your right to a review hearing in exchange for an immediate business-purpose-only license. This license lasts the entire duration of the six- or 12-month suspension for a first-time DUI. You must also enroll in DUI school before you can get the immediate hardship license.
Florida drivers who have previously been convicted of a DUI are not eligible for a hardship license. This means they may only pursue the first option. Additionally, a driver who takes no action during the 10-day window will have his driver's license suspended for at least six months or more, depending on the circumstances of the arrest and the driver's criminal history.
An experienced Florida DUI attorney can help examine your situation and your rights to find the most effective way forward. Contact Adam Rossen at Rossen Law Firm today. He has helped countless individuals in Broward County retain their driving privileges and wants to hear from you. Take a moment to fill out the contact form on this page, or call our office nearest you.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Fans were disappointed in the final outcome but otherwise delighted with the overall experience as Bentley University opened the Bentley Arena Friday night before a sellout crowd of over 2200.
After the final stanza opened with the game tied at 1-1, Army West Point erupted for four goals in the first 9:08 of the third and went on to record a 5-1 Atlantic Hockey win over the Bentley University Falcons (11-15-6, 9-10-6) in the inaugural game on the Coach DeFelice Ice Rink.
Sophomore defenseman Alex Wilkinson (Raleigh, N.C.) led the Black Knights (13-12-6, 10-9-6) with two goals, including the first during the third-period barrage, and an assist.
"It was a great environment to play a college hockey game in," said Bentley head coach Ryan Soderquist. "As tough as it is to swallow that loss, I'm proud of our guys and how they battled, and very excited to see the Bentley community come out and support us. It's something we've been waiting for for a long time."
After a scoreless first period, the Falcons scored the first ever goal at 2:11 of the 2nd period, from defenseman Brett Orr (Elkhorn, Manitoba). Freshman Brendan Hamblet (Hopkington, Mass.) got the play started with a shot in the slot that deflected off an Army defenseman. Senior Matt Sieckhaus (St. Louis, Mo.) dug the puck out of the corner and fed a centering pass that took a deflection to the stick of Orr. The sophomore then fired on net from just inside the blue line and beat Army goalie Cole Bruns to record the first goal in the new arena.
But the Black Knights answered back on the power play a little more than three minutes later. A shot in the high slot from Wilkinson got over the glove of Jayson Argue at the 5:40 mark to tie the score.
The Falcons ended the second period with a 13-9 edge in shots, but came up empty on three power play chances as the score remained tied heading into the final period.
Wilkinson's second goal of the night, 1:27 into the third period, gave Army a 2-1 lead. Center Tyler Pham made it a 3-1 game with his seventh goal of the season at 5:23, and just 1:19 later, the Black Knights made it a three goal lead with a goal off the stick of right wing Conor Andrle.
Bruns finished the night with 30 saves to earn the win for the Black Knights.
The two teams will meet again at the Bentley Arena Saturday at 7:05 pm.

Things you should know before travelling to HawaiiTuesday, June 10th, 2014
Travelling to a new place is very difficult and it is exploring too. Many travelers love travelling to the unique and different places but sometimes it is advisable to know about the place you are travelling at. As we are taking about Hawaii, Hawaii is certainly a very different place for the first times. All the different religious, culture, tradition, people, their lifestyle, etc is very different from the country or the city we are travelling. There are many things which must be kept in mind before travelling to Hawaii. This article will help you to determine the aspects and the criteria have to keep in mind while you are planning to travel to Hawaii.
Things you should know:
- Visitors must keep in mind that we are not Hawaiians. We are called to be the tourists and the people who are residing in Hawaiian island are called by the names of local. They have different lifestyle and concept as we do have ours.
- Hawaii is the only island where two languages are spoken, one is the English and second one is the Hawaiian language which can be only spoken by the locals because they know how to speak this. But it is advisable to learn the basic words of Hawaiian language so it becomes easy for the visitor to attempt the talking with the local Hawaiian public. Words like aloha means hello, mahalo for thank you, etc can be learned by the visitor.
- Hawaii is the island of time. Visitors come there to enjoy their vacation with the loved ones and the families. You will not see much of the people honking on the road because the local people of Hawaii does not believe in the honking and rushed driving of the car, they just believe in driving the slow and enjoy the scenery which is preserved in the Hawaiian island.
- Hawaiian island is the only place where the royalty is been celebrated. The prince Kuhio day is celebrated on 26th of March in the honor of the king who put on his efforts in preserving the culture, rituals, tradition, etc of Hawaii.
- Hawaiian island has the heart of welcoming every person on the island to make their house or enjoy their vacation with their loved ones. You will find many faces of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc and their food taste too which will blend you towards to come and visit the Hawaiian Islands again and again.
- All the visitors who love beaches or the beachy arena, Hawaiian island are the best option which can be opted for. Not only the beach but there is many places in Hawaii which can be visited by the visitors and in fact those places must not be left unwatched by the visitors according to my advice.
- Hawaii has its own existence. Yes, you might be thinking of travelling to the different countries for the beach and other stuffs but seriously Hawaii has its own unique magnificent things which one should not miss out.

Guest post by Kayt Sukel
In the beloved children's book, Happy Birthday to You!, Dr. Seuss writes, "Today you are YOU, that is TRUER than true. There is NO ONE alive who is YOUER than YOU." Those who study the brain understand that the complex interplay of genetics and environment give rise to that "you-ness" of which Dr. Seuss spoke. And, as it turns out, it also makes for unique changes to brain anatomy—so much so that one can be uniquely identified by the brain, much like with fingerprints or the eye's iris pattern.
Lutz Jäncke, a neuropsychologist at Switzerland's University of Zurich, has spent his career studying individual differences. His work looking at brain differences in musicians, dancers, and chess players demonstrated that the human brain is profoundly shaped by experience.
"Thirty years ago, we didn't anticipate that the human brain is so plastic," he explains. "In learning that training and experience can have such a profound influence on the human brain, even in terms of anatomical and morphological aspects, we wondered if it was possible to identify individuals on the basis of anatomical features in the brain."

Attention to accessories is everything, they can turn a day outfit into an evening outfit and an evening outfit into a more casual one, they basically fill in the missing gaps and pull everything together. Accessories add interest to an outfit. Girls we wouldn't settle for buying a bed with no pillows would we because that would look a tad odd, same as we wouldn't buy an outfit that needed an accessory and skip the accessory part. Not every item of clothing needs 'something' but if you feel it does then accessorise away, it's how you wear it that's important, it's the fun part!

If you want a good laugh, you should really listen to this. It was on the radio the other day. One of those bits where they call a guy up and offer to send roses for free on his behalf to see if he'll send them to his girlfriend or the woman she suspects he's cheating with.
(Note to men: Why do you still fall for this crap? I've heard these types of shows in at least four or five radio markets, so it's not exactly new. If you're cheating and a stranger calls you up and offers to send a woman free flowers on your behalf, say no. Or send them to your mother.)
Anyway, this one is funny because it turns out the woman is absolutely crazy. It's worth listening to for that alone.
Somehow this woman failed to comprehend that it's not okay to break into a guy's house after he dumps you and leave him a note about how you can get to him anywhere. And that it's also not okay to then call a radio show to see if he's "cheating" on you two months after he dumped you.
But that's not why I'm linking to it here. I'm linking to it because this woman's rant reminded me about the concept of sunk costs.
Basically, it's the idea that people make bad choices because they think about what they've already invested in a situation rather than looking at it as a new choice each time.In money terms: Say you'd paid $500 to fix your car and now you're told that it will cost another $500 to fix it. You may be more likely to spend that $500 to fix it rather than selling the car and walking away because of what you've already spent on the car. It's not logical, but people do it all the time. That first $500 is gone. It's spent. Nothing you do now will get it back. But, because you spent it you're tempted to stick with the car and keep trying.
Well, let's bring it back to relationships. The woman on this call is talking about a guy who is supposedly cheating on her and has done so in the past and she explains why she's staying with him by saying, "…he met my friends, he got the friends' seal of approval, he's been over to my house…I've let him meet my parents…"
She was focused on the wrong things. On what had come before. On all the time she'd spent on building this relationship. She couldn't let go of it.How could she possibly walk away from a guy who was cheating on her when she'd invested so much into the relationship already? She'd put herself out there. Let him meet her friends. Let him meet her family. Told him she loved him. (An honor heretofore reserved for her dad and Jesus.)Problem with that approach to dating is that you can "but I've already…" your way right into a really shitty marriage.
Happened to a friend. She knew she shouldn't marry the guy. But the wedding hall was booked and the guests were invited and everyone knew she was getting married. So, against every instinct in her body, she married a drug-addicted abusive asshole.
Don't do that. If your gut is screaming at you that something is wrong in a relationship stop thinking about sunk costs. Stop thinking about "but I've been with him for five years" or "but we have a house together" or "but we have kids together."
Those things matter, but not in that way. Not in an "if I stick with this a little longer it will finally be what I want it to be" sort of way. They matter in the "we've built something together and have a special, shared connection unique to us" sort of way.
Does that make sense?
Don't hang in there just because you've spent so much time and energy on it. Hang in there because it's worth hanging in there for.

Deliver your mining farm's hashpower to customers in a few clicks, with automation, failover, and monitoring.
14-Day Free TrialLearn More Get Started
Stratumsphere is an innovative platform for cryptocurrency mining businesses looking to rent or lease their mining farm's hashpower to their customers under their own branding and business structure. Stratumsphere is provided in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) format, and can handle rentals, failover, monitoring, notifications, and provisioning of your mining farm, all in an easy-to-use web application.
One of the key features of our service is the High Availability aspect of the hashpower delivery. This is done using software developed in-house called the High Availability Stratum Hub & Scheduler, also known as the HASH Scheduler. It enables mining farms with the ability to deliver continuous hashpower to their customers without interruption from failed or degraded miners. Miners that are mining for the business personally are swapped with the faulty miner automatically, and the customer never witnesses any issues on their end
Facilities and equipment have always had questionable reliability due to the 24/7 100% load and tight budget nature of mining. This has traditionally led to farms only bringing on enterprise-level clientele because they would rather deal with a few upset customers rather than a thousand upset customers. However, smaller, consumer-level customers are willing to pay more per miner, which can significantly improve the bottom line. Stratumsphere makes managing and dealing with these small or short-term customers simple, easy, and headache free.GET STARTED
No software installation required! Point your mining rigs (workers) at your HASH Scheduler the same way you would point them at a mining pool.
Create rentals for your customers. Set your personal mining pool for idle and degraded workers. Adjust your scheduler settings based on your facilities trends and customers.
During worker failure, degradation, or disconnection on a customer's rental, workers mining for you personal stack are automatically provisioned over to your customer's rental.
View healthy, degraded, failed, or offline workers. Receive SMS and Email notifications when events occur. Change your customers rentals in real time. Integrate our API into your applications.
Avoid angry customers and late night support requests! Stratumsphere's HASH Scheduler will automatically provision your personal stack of workers over to your customer's rental in the event that hardware loses performance, power, or network connectivity. Fix problems on your own schedule, not your customers'.
Your customers get real, authentic hashrate provisioned to any third-party mining pool account or wallet they provide. Make your business transparent! You also avoid compliance, liability, and other issues typically associated with cloud mining services because no crypto-currency passes through your hands.
Monitor what your customer is actually receiving! Stratumsphere's HASH Scheduler service monitors your facilities' mining rigs based off your calculated share rate, and not hardware reports. This avoids the confusion between your technician and customer that is typically experienced with hardware monitoring solutions.
No complex software or servers to install on your end. New Schedulers are deployed within 30 seconds on the cloud. Connect your workers the same way you would connect them to a mining pool, then instantly provision your workers to your personal pool or customers from our Web App. Using Stratumsphere is as simple as it gets!
Collectively, our team has over a decade of experience when it comes to small-scale and large-scale crypto-mining operations. We are ready andwaiting to assist you with any implementation advice or help you may need.
here's a quick rundown.
One of our major goals when developing the platform was to avoid locking our customer's mining setup down to a specific hashrate delivery method. We currently offer 2 methods for your mining rigs on our HASH Scheduler service. All settings are completely adjustable, so you can tweak the Scheduler based on your facility trends.
With M2M, Schedulers maintain the assigned number of workers per rental. If a performance, power, or network issue occurs, the worker is simply replaced with another worker automatically. This is a great option for businesses looking to integrate Stratumsphere into their existing business model. Workers with identical hashrate are recommended.
With Threshold, Schedulers allocate a set amount of hashrate to your customer and provide that hashrate within a set tolerance (%). For example, if you sell 1000 TH/s, you can set a 5% tolerance and the hashrate will never go below 950 TH/s. Workers with varying hashrate and specifications can be utilized with this method.
Can't find an answer? Check out our more detailed Pre-Sales section.
Workers are mining rigs. Whether GPU, ASIC, or CPU based.
Absolutely! Your end-users never interact with Stratumsphere. The hashrate simply appears on your end-user's third-party mining pool of choice.
High Availability Stratum Hub & Scheduler. Hub and Scheduler are related to the computing terms.
We currently serve to customers in North America and Europe. We are planning to expand to more locations soon!
Yes! please check out our API Documentation for integration details.
Absolutely! For every 20 workers you are given the ability to create 1 more scheduler if desired.
NO! When workers are not allocated to rentals, they'll mine to your personal mining pool set by you.
As many as your subscription will allow! Our systems will automatically scale to your needs.
NO! Never (ever) will we cut or degrade your worker's hashrate. What goes in comes out.
Yes, we embrace hardware monitoring sytems and think they are great! Simply connect your equipment to Stratumsphere as if it was a standard mining pool.

Adventure Awaits...
I was so excited about this excursion to see the majestic Kaieteur Falls and the amazing Orinduik Falls. I actually created this website and blog to share my adventure with the world. I just want everyone to see the stunning natural beauty of Guyana. It's known as the "Land of Many Waters" because of it's diverse and visually captivating aquatic attractions.
Kaieteur Falls is one of the waterfall wonders of the world. It's a must see for every nature lover. I literally love waterfalls so this was definitely a dream come true for me to visit Kaieteur Falls. We went on our tour with Evergreen Adventures and Trans Guyana Airways via Ogle Airport.
I always had a slight fear of traveling in small planes but all that left (with prayers of course) and just the sheer excitement from my expectation of seeing Kaieteur Falls for the very first time.
Flights to Kaieteur Falls leave from the Ogle Airport which is just a short distance away from the capital city of Georgetown.

Hello, Emerald City
I've been in Seattle for just over a week now, but it already feels like much longer. Choosing to arrive so close to SEAF weekend may not have been the wisest choice, but I did want to make it to the Festival.
Speaking of which, it's been great to see all the artwork there, and I've already bought a few things from the Festival Store. Good thing I still have website clients to support my time in Seattle this summer! I foresee a much lighter wallet in the near future.
One wood sculpture I spotted and fell instantly in love with: $1400. *Sigh*
Otherwise, I'm settling into this new/familiar city rather quickly. I'm finally more or less unpacked and exploring more of Seattle on my own. It is SO nice to have my car with me!
Will try to update here more, and I also should post updates about my pending webcomic soon.
So much to do…

MINNESOTANS have long suspected that the last ice age never fully receded from the state, but that has not kept them from having a good time. Icy Pleasures explores the many ways that the people of Minnesota have embraced its Siberian reputation with winter carnivals and cold weather sports. It crackles with the wry descriptions, larger-than-life stories, and droll humor that intrepid newsmen and propagandists have always found in a subject that so thoroughly mixes hardship with hilarity.
"Icy Pleasures is a delightful book, nicely written, profusely illustrated, and long overdue in a state where winter always hogs the stage in the theater of seasons."— St. Paul Pioneer Press
We're not around right now. But you can send us an email and we'll get back to you, asap.

Extracting sediment cores for palaeoecological and archaeological investigations has occurred extensively across England since the early 20th century. Surprisingly, there has been comparatively little collation of these valuable publications and potential sources of data; for example, a search on the European Pollen Database (1st Aug 2014 edition) found just 118 core sites for the whole of Great Britain. Here, using a combination of systematic meta-searching and knowledge of the unpublished ('grey') literature, we have assembled a meta-database of some 763 sediment cores for palaeoecological records, documented across 273 scientific studies. The majority of these ([90 %) were sediment cores upon which pollen analyses had been performed, but other types of evidence, such as plant macrofossil and faunal records were also identified. We are making this meta-database publicly available, in the hope that it will assist further investigations into Holocene vegetation history, palaeoecology, geoarchaeology and environmental change.

"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt." Mark Twain
London's exploding. G-8's imploding. The Supreme Court is eroding. Reporters are in jail. Rove's beyond the pale. The Church has a new Evolution Grail.
Bloggers everywhere have a great opportunity to post thoughtful, provocative, intelligent, even belligerent articles on the sorry state of affairs in the world.

Ok, can someone explain this? by John in DC - 7/09/2005
This is one of those emails going around, and it worked for me, and now I'm kind of freaked out.

Because it worked for me.
At the end of this message, you are asked a question. Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it. Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.
Now... just follow the instructions as quickly as possible. Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous one

You just thought about a red hammer, didn't you?
If that was not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have a different, if not abnormal, mind. 98% of people will answer a red hammer while doing this exercise.

1. Being told to give an answer RIGHT NOW evokes childhood trials/memories
2. Red hammer is a memorable childhood toy -- evoked by a childish exercise.

I saw many people asking this question. How to monetize a free blog from google blogger or WordPress or any free blog hosting platform available. Most of the free blogging platform doesn't allow to put an advertisement on it. So, it is difficult to monetize them. Because the main way as a newbie we know to monetize a blog is putting an advertisement on it.
This is the main reason I tell many new bloggers to start their blog on blogger, Google's free blogging platform. You can monetize your blog by putting advertisement from third party advertisement platforms. And, also blogger is a good way to get an Adsense account fast. Adsense is google own advertising network for publishers and the best one. But there are some requirements before you can get approved for an Adsense account. If you are using blogger as a blogging platform you can apply for different advertising platform to monetize your blog.
What if you are not using blogger for your blogging platform? If you are using another free blogging platform that doesn't allow putting an advertisement on free option. Don't worry, still, there are many options available to monetize your blog. I am here to guide you in this. You can monetize your blog using Affiliate marketing and CPA offers. You can also sell your own product on your blog to earn money. All you need is traffic to earn from your blog.
Affiliate marketing is the best way to monetize your blog. No matter whether you are using free or paid blogging platform. Still, affiliate marketing is best to earn the best money. If you take a look at earnings reports of some top-ranked Blog. you will notice that the earning from affiliate marketing is always bigger the amount they got through advertisements on their blog. Choose a good affiliate product that best suits your blogging niche and starts promoting it on your best blog posts to see the result. People always love to learn new things. Everybody tends to invest some money if they can gather some new knowledge. Something beyond others.
You got your own product to sell, then there is no better option then blogging about it. Through blogging, you can discuss the features of your product. You can tell people why they should buy your product writing a post on it. You can describe the best qualities of your product widely. Write some good post about your product. Also, you can hire a freelancer to write a good post if you think you are unable to describe the best.
CPA is an option where you will get paid for the actions your visitor performs. People are trying to find ways to promote CPA offers. You can do it using your blog. To earn using CPA networks, most of the time you don't need your own website. You can perform promoting on social media, youtube or by email marketing. But using a blog of a lot of viewers is a very best option to promote CPA offers. Choose the CPA offer from the network that best suits your niche and starts promoting it using your post.
Blogging is the key to getting lots of referral. You are joining an online earning site that pays the user for referring friends. Create some blog post about the site, like the site review, earning methods of the site, why people should join the site. And, put your referral link in the post. This way you will earn referrals while helping people by telling about the site.
If you share a lot of links on your blogs. Then use link shortening sites that pay the user for shortening links and sharing. When people visit the link you will get paid.
These are some ways by which you can monetize your blog to get fast cash. You can apply these options to any blogs paid or free. You can also use these steps on blogs you are monetizing using advertisement networks. You can comment below for any questions or suggestions which will be welcome by me. To get new online earning ideas in your emails, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

During our recent research trip through the streets of Melbourne we have noticed a few changes in the bar scene.
Softbelly is now Du Nord
The great bar Softbelly has sadly closed its doors to be refurbished as Du Nord. Inspiring a French character, Du Nord is actually a Swedish bar run by a very friendly Swedish couple ( as you may have guessed). The interior is stripped wood hinting at a Swedish sauna styling with just that hint of Ikea. It's minimalist appearance is a refreshing change in these days of faux leather and crushed velvet. It's got a nice atmosphere and is so close to the CBD offices, it will make a pleasant stop on cooler evenings (on warm nights Campari around the corner will lure you).
LaLaLand has reopened
La La Land has also reopened its doors after the fire a while ago. Sporting a new interior with large comfy sofas in white and a plush red interior. it almost feels like walking into a dream! It's has a nice chic attitude and this will appeal to ladies and girls with a bit of flair. This is a far cry from Pug Mahones over the alleyway!
Match is now Fathers Office
Also, a new addition is the refurbishment of the Match bar and grill that closer rather quickly a while ago. Overlooking Swanston street is Melbourne's latest edition, Fathers Office. Many wives will be somewhat annoyed at this, as now there will be too many Melbournites staying late "at the office". It's a large venue ideal for corporate events and large gatherings. The deck over the street is a great alfresco area and great on a warm sunny evening.
Miss Libertine is now the Captain Melville
Sadly Miss Libertine closed its doors and has now emerged as the Captain Melville. We have only looked at their web site and the uber trendy atmosphere of Miss Libertine is nowhere to be seen. The website bleats on about the food, so this is probably a restaurant now and we will drop it from Best Melbourne Pubs and Bars app. Maybe they will answer our emails and tell us they are a bar?
Oddfellows Hotel is now The Fringe
Oddfellows hotel has changed to The Fringe. It still looks similar, but there have been a few changes here and there. They still do pizza's so a good feed will still await! It's a bit out of the way for many, but this is not a bad place if you are this end of town. The website shows some funky deckchairs on the roof, so could be an interesting place for a beer after work.
Blac, Pony and Bridie O'Reillys have closed
Blac, which was located up on La Trobe Street was closed when we last passed by. Sadly this bar was located off the main strip and is in one of those "odd" areas. The bar was more of a corporate attractor in our view, so probably didn't become the iconic venue its locations demands for it to survive.
Pony – they have now closed too. Not sure if they will re-open under a new name. We heard that this has been on the cards for a while.
Bridie O'Reilly's has also closed its doors, which is surprising as it has always been quite busy during our visits.
This means we will be updating our app next month to include these bars. But if we have missed one, let us know.
You don't have to wait for a new version of Best Melbourne Pubs and Bars. All changes automatically load once you have purchased the app.

Kent State's baseball team picked up its elusive first win of the season late Saturday night, defeating host San Diego 9-5 in game two of a doubleheader, but couldn't sustain the momentum in Sunday's series finale while suffering a 14-2 loss.
"It's very disappointing how we competed today," said Golden Flashes coach Scott Stricklin. "For us to lose a game 14-2 is unacceptable. Our coaching staff doesn't feel very good about where we are right now. We've got to get better as a team, and it needs to start now."
The Flashes (1-7) had the bases loaded in the first three innings, but were only able to muster run one in that span, stranding nine. Evan Campbell had a RBI singles in the second and fourth innings to plate Kent State's only runs.
"If you leave nine runners on base in the first three innings, you're not going to beat anybody," said Stricklin.
San Diego (3-4) posted eight runs in the second inning on seven hits, a wild pitch, a walk and a hit batter, then added three more in the sixth to seal the victory.
Kent State struggled at the plate and on the mound in the game. The Flashes left 11 runners on base and only one player had a multi-hit game, while three of their five pitchers struggled.
Campbell went 3-for-5 with two RBI and Derek Toadvine had the only extra-base hit for the Flashes, a triple.
Michael Clark took the loss as the starter, lasting 1.2 innings while allowing seven runs, five hits, and two walks. Relievers John Birkbeck (3 earned runs allowed, only 2 batters retired) and Nick Jensen-Clagg (2.2 innings, 3 earned runs) also struggled before Eli Martin (1 unearned run in 2 innings) and Eric Dorsch (1 scoreless inning) were able to calm the Toreros hitters.
"Our bullpen has been very poor, and it's been extremely disappointing," said Stricklin. "That's probably the most disappointed group of players we have right now is our bullpen. Guys have not stepped up, they've not pitched to their capability."
Kent State overcame three errors to earn its first win of the year on Saturday.
The Flashes got on the board early with two runs in the first. Toadvine reached on a wild pitch and stole second. After Zarley Zalewski and T.J. Sutton walked, Jason Bagoly singled home a pair of runs.
Justin Wagler then hit a solo homer to start the second inning to make it 3-0.
The Flashes plated three runs later in the fifth. Zalewski led off with a home run of his own and Bagoly came up later to pick up another RBI with a ground out. The Flashes' third run of the inning came when Sutton scored on an error.
San Diego scored three of its own in the sixth inning, but Kent State answered back with two more in the seventh to secure the win.
Five Flashes had two hits led by Zalewski (2-for-4, 3 RBI, 2 runs) and Bagoly (2-for-5, 3 RBI).
Reigning MAC East Pitcher of the Week Taylor Williams (1-0) looked solid again in his second start at Kent State. He picked up the win after throwing seven innings, allowing three earned runs (5 total) on eight hits. He struck out eight batters while not allowing a walk.
Dan Kopcak (Streetsboro) finished the game on the mound, throwing two innings of shutout, one-hit baseball. He walked two and struck out one.
The early-season schedule remains tough for the Flashes, as they head to a nationally ranked Louisville for three games beginning Friday.
Senior first baseman George Roberts, a preseason All-American and reigning MAC Player of the Year, suffered a wrist injury in the first game of the season. He underwent successful surgery on Friday, but his return date is not yet known.
A ticket policy will now be in place for Kent State baseball. Single-game tickets can be purchased on the day of the game for $5 for adults and $3 for students and seniors. Students, faculty and staff of Kent State University receive free admission when showing their Kent State ID. Youth in uniform or in a Kent State baseball camp t-shirts get into home games free of charge.
A season ticket option is also available. Adults may purchase a season pass for $72, and students/seniors for $36 (a $1 per game discount).
Schoonover Stadium will also have an updated look this year as lights are in the process of being installed, allowing for the first night games to be played on Olga A. Mural Field. Future renovations in the works include indoor and outdoor hitting facilities and an improved parking area.
The Flashes' first home game in 2013 is scheduled for March 20 against Pittsburgh. The first home conference weekend is March 29-31 against Ball State.
For more information on season tickets, contact Steve Thompson at 330-672-8545 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Kent State concluded its weekend at the Cardinal Classic with a 3-2 loss to No. 18 Louisville Sunday at Ulmer Stadium.
The Flashes' bats came to life on Sunday, matching their season-high with nine base hits. They struggled to produce runs, however, leaving seven runners on base.
After falling behind 2-0, the Golden Flashes rallied to tie the game with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth inning. The Cardinals got a clutch two-out hit in the bottom of the sixth for the go-ahead run and retired the side in the top of the seventh for their seventh consecutive victory.
"I am proud of the way we battled back, being down two runs and tying it in the fifth with two outs," KSU head coach Karen Linder said. "We played very well in all phases of the game. Again, we were just missing a clutch hit that would have allowed us to go ahead."
Freshman Lauren Kesterson got the rally started by drawing a walk to lead off the fifth. Sophomore Kim Kirkpatrick then bunted her way aboard for her second hit of the day. Two batters later, junior Abbey Ledford reached on a fielder's choice to put runners on the corners.
The Flashes got a rare two-out hit from freshman Shelbi Tilton, whose single through the left side of the infield allowed Kesterson to score. A wild pitch allowed both runners to move into scoring position and prompted a pitching change for the Cardinals. Ledford, who advanced to third on Tilton's hit, scampered home on yet another wild pitch to tie the game.
Kent State's pitching staff kept Louisville's potent lineup off balance throughout the game, as junior Lauren McNeil and sophomore Emma Johnson limited the Cardinals to a season-low four hits.
McNeil started the game for the Flashes and allowed one hit and two runs in 1.2 innings of work. Johnson (1-4) pitched the final 4.1 innings, giving up one run while striking out a pair.
"Things are starting to come together," Linder said. "I look forward to playing next weekend to build on the growth that took place today."
Kent State travels to Tampa, Fla. next weekend for five games at the South Florida Under Armour Invitational.
Kent State moved up one spot on the final day to finish 11th at the Central District Invitational, held in Parrish, Fla. The Flashes passed Georgetown over the final 18 holes after shooting their lowest combined score of the tournament with a 301 to finish with a 54-hole score of 932.
SMU overtook Vanderbilt with a final-round 293 to capture the team title by two strokes.
Leading the Flashes was rookie Josee Doyon, who shot a final-round 72, and also tallied the lowest card with a 14-over 230 to tie for 31st place. Sophomore Jennifer Ha and junior Erin Hawe each shot final-round 75s.
Kent State will be back in action March 15-17 at the Gator Invitational in Gainesville, Fla.
Coach Kathleen Wiler and staff recently welcomed six student-athletes into the Kent State field hockey family for the upcoming 2013 season.
Joining the Golden Flashes will be Giuliana Antignani (Garnet Valley, Pa.), Alison Harmatz (Yorktown, Va.), Krysti Lober (Wilmington, Del.), Andrea Rinehart (Yorktown, Va.), Julia Schoonover (Media, Pa.) and Madison Thompson (Ontario, Canada).
"We are excited to welcome these six student-athletes to our program," Wiler said. "They are a passionate group of young women who bring athleticism, speed and tenacity to our Golden Flash family."
Antignani was named to the All-Southeast Pennsylvania First Team, Central League First Team and All-Delco Second Team after her senior year on defense.
Harmatz was a two-time state champion at Tabb High School. The forward holds the school scoring record with 37 goals and 19 assists in her three-year varsity career. Harmatz made First Team All-State, First Team All-Region and First Team All-District her senior year.
Lober was a four-year letterwinner at Concord High School, finishing her career with 23 goals and 22 assists. After her senior season as a team captain, she was named First Team All-State, National Field Hockey Coaches Association First Team All-Mid-Atlantic and Third Team All-American.
At goalkeeper, Rinehart totaled 193 saves and 33 shutouts in three seasons at Grafton High School. She was awarded First Team All-District, First Team All-Region and First Team All-State honors after her senior year.
Schoonover, a forward/midfielder, was named MVP of her team after her sophomore season. She also played three seasons for the W.C Eagles Field Hockey Club that was rankled No. 1 in the country by the United States Field Hockey Association.
The lone international signee of 2013, Thompson was part of a Resurrection Catholic Secondary School team that won multiple Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association field hockey tournament championships. She has also represented Ontario at the Canadian field hockey championship and was named a tournament All-Star.
Kent State won a share of the MAC regular-season title, yet fell short in the MAC Tournament final a year ago.

Hi everyone,
I am so happy to be able to share this tutorial with you. I made this altered bird cage a while back, before August actually, this year .However, I did not get the chance to edit and upload. Then I went to Mauritius for 5 weeks and of course I did not take my laptop and editing software with me.
Then when I came back, I started teaching full time as an Art Teacher, which really left me very little time to blog and make videos. The other day my student told me I should 'make' time for my videos as she really enjoys watching them- So I thought, I would 'make' some time today.
I would also like to thank new subscribers, but also my existing subscribers for sticking with me .I am not going anywhere, it is just that my uploading has been very sporadic - hopefully I will be able to make some awesome tutorials for you in the coming weeks.
Anyway, here is the video I am talking about. If you like, share it on your facebook, twitter and blog.

PS: Sorry I do not have a picture.I have already sent this to my sister to put in my niece's room.
