If you can't cook, what do you do? Buy a book or just learn via trial and error? I'm currently traveling up north for my birthday and New Years and made a pit stop at the mall to check out some of the after Christmas sales. Considering the traffic, we vetoed the idea and headed to Barnes and Noble.
This particular location in Santa Clara has 3 aisles of varying cookbooks however I couldn't find a single book that just had an odd assortment of recipes. Everything was catered to a specific need – cupcakes, cookies, international cooking, grilling, slow cookers, etc. I even a spotted dummies version of how to cook that included a diagram of a kitchen and how to walk through it. I may not know how to cook but I can navigate in my kitchen. Clearly, that one wasn't for me and there wasn't really a beginner's guidebook. I also noticed that most cookbooks cater to family needs (each recipes makes 6-8 servings), what about something for a solo cook who has no family to feed but just herself?
After an hour, I finally settled on a vegetarian cookbook even though I occasionally eat meat. Why vegetarian? Because I need more veggies in my diet regardless of me being a vegetarian for most of my life I never really ate any "veggies." Don't ask me how that works. According to Amazon, it's got 4 1/2 stars so I'm looking forward to all it has to offer.
At home I have books signed by Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay that I will be adding to the mix. I figured if I've bought them, I might as well put them to use vs having them sit on the shelf. I may not have an apron or any fancy cooking supplies but the books are a step in the right direction. Now let's see if I can follow instructions and create a meal that's edible. 🙂

Barbell hip thrusts are a fantastic strength-training glutes builder, but you need to keep adding weight to the bar to progress. And even if you're crazy motivated to build sexy glutes, it can seem intimidating to get under larger loads.
Barbell hip thrusts are not for beginning trainees. You need to master glute bridges and hip thrusts in their various progressions before adding weight. If you're not quite ready to use an Olympic-sized barbell with bigger plates that roll over your legs, see how to set up using a preloaded bar. If you're using an Oly bar with smaller plates that won't roll over your legs, you can easily set each end of the bar on a plate to elevate the bar (see pic here). You can also start with your shoulders and feet on the floor instead of shoulders-elevated.
Remember to own it! If you have a strong core and a good foundation of lower body strength, you could be ready sooner than you think. Check out my how-to video to learn the simple steps:

This section describes the steps that you need to take to dynamically generate the security signature of the hosted iFrame.
To load the hosted page, you will make a request to Zuora for the iFrame using security measures. You can see a sample iFrame code in the HTML code section at the bottom of the Preview Hosted Payment Method Page.
The iFrame URL from the preview page is valid for 30 minutes after it is generated. You must add logic to dynamically generate the timestamp/token when calling the hosted page.
The following are the required parameters for the iFrame URL:
The domain depends on which Zuora server you are using. For example:
ID (Page ID)
The ID (Page ID) is a unique identifier for each hosted page you can create. The ID can be retrieved from clicking Show Page Id next to the hosted page name in the Page List section.
Tenant ID
To find your tenant ID, navigate to Settings > Administration Settings > Manage Tenant Profile. This page displays information about your tenant, including your Tenant Id.
Create a timestamp in UTC (GMT) format in milliseconds, for example,
The token is a random alphanumeric token of 32 characters that has not been used in the past 48 hours, for example, 7av18bEz97Jrq9K6z0QPyvJpIqIxSmZc. Every page submission consumes a token. Once a token have been consumed, it is blacklisted for 48 hours. When a Hosted Payment Page needs to be reloaded, for example, after an unsuccessful submission, a new token must be created to generate a new iFrame.
You will use the API security key to generate the signature. The API security key is the only parameter used in signature generation that is not transmitted in the public URL.You must include the Hosted Pages API security key with the signature.
To obtain the API security key:
To generate the signature for the URL, create a string that concatenates the following input values:
Use the following format for the string:
Do not add a space or other character between the token and the API security key.
For example, using the following values:
The resulting concatenated string would look like the following:
After you generate the signature for the URL, you must encode the resulting string.
To encode the URL signature:
+ and
/ with
- and
_ (respectively). The sample resulting output should be "
The result from the step 3 above is the signature to be used for the iFrame URL.
Refer to the demo projects sample code section for examples on how to do this encoding.
Next, Embed and Submit the iFrame.

One of my brothers-in-law always asks me a question that seems to me to be a perfect conversation-starter. Anytime we're gathered together and have a minute to talk, he asks, "What have you been reading lately?" I love this question so much more than my typical, "What's up?" or "What's been going on lately?" because it naturally lends itself to deep conversation about what really is going on in our lives. My go-to question can be easily side-stepped with a simple, "not much", but his question leads to so many possible follow-up questions. If I'm not reading anything at the moment, the natural follow-up is to ask why not, which may reveal a multitude of things going on in our lives. If I have something really interesting that I am reading, we can talk about that and why I like it, which tells a little about me and what I've been thinking about. If I'm reading a parenting book, the conversation may then lean towards what's going on with my kids. The possibilities are endless, and the meaningful conversations that have stemmed from his question have been so enriching and encouraging. I love his question.
While no reader here is begging me for the answer to what I'm currently reading, I do have lots of requests for book suggestions for kids. I'm always happy to share some great titles or to point people in the direction of some great resources. In fact, our After-School Program includes access to lists of books for students to read by grade-level (and the freedom to check those books out of our library). My lists aren't ground-breaking. In fact, they're compiled from multiple trusted resources, many of which are easily accessible. Still, the long lists can be daunting, and parents are often overwhelmed with where to begin and how to find something on the list that their kids will really like.
Finding a child's interest can admittedly be hard, but it's not something to get too worried about. Try lots of different books. When something sticks, it'll open up a wide world for your child that you didn't know was possible. If you haven't found that book yet, move down a reading level and see if reading something a little more simple does the trick. You probably hear this all the time, but reading to your kids does absolute wonders for their love of reading. Read out loud to them to find their interest areas and then go from there. Even if your kid doesn't seem to like it, they will almost always choose for you to read out loud to them over going to sleep. Bedtime is a great time for reading books because there isn't anything else to distract them and they may end up begging you to read more. Now, this is a hard time because you are probably incredibly distracted and ready for some downtime and relaxation. I know. I've been there and I've cut reading time short just so I could get a little time to chill. But there's no denying that bedtime is usually a time you have your kids' undivided attention. Why not use it to promote a love of stories that turns into a love of reading which lends itself to a love of learning?
Still, that doesn't answer the practical need of a book title to grab and read to your kids. So, without further ado...
Today is the first installment of "Monday Media Review" where we take a look at all sorts of different media, ranging from books to music to videos. The aim, of course, is to provide you readers with an honest perspective on both some great resources to incorporate into your family's lives and some questionable resources you should think about before investing in.
The first book/series I'd love to review and recommend is the Billy and Blaze series. These books truly captivate young readers. My son loved to read these stories at 3 and still asks us to read them to him at 5 years old. I once read Blaze and the Forest Fire at our sweet co-op preschool, and the kids (age 3-6) literally stood up and gasped as I got to the climactic point in the story. The Classical Connections Library can't keep these books in stock. Every volume is checked out nearly every week by 1st and 2nd graders. The stories about a boy and his horse feel like "big kid" stories because they're exciting to young readers, but they are also easy to read. Essentially, each book is a long picture book with a really engaging plot set in a time when young kids had a lot more freedom than they do now. The stories truly are timeless. The illustrations are intricate and fascinating, but they don't take away from the actual story. Young children are drawn to the young hero who demonstrates bravery, but also learns valuable lessons along the way. There are always students who try to read at or above their grade level simply because their friends are doing so, and this series is an easy one to recommend because kids from all ages love the stories and struggling readers don't feel like they're being forced to read a "baby story". If this recommendation isn't enough, take the word of Michael O'Brien's Landscape of Dragons, Providence Classical School, Honey for a Child's Heart, and almost any other wholesome recommended reading list. C. W. Anderson's most popular series is a hit for very compelling reasons.
The first one I read and loved was Blaze and the Forest Fire, but my son is completely fascinated with Blaze and the Mountain Lion. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the books in this series, so give it a try and let me know what you think!

Permanent | Level 3
The Time Warner World News Gallery provides a sweeping overview of the global news environment. A 36-foot-wide map — updated annually — illustrates the different levels of press freedoms in countries around the world. "Dateline: Danger," a provocative display within the gallery, focuses on the constant dangers faced by journalists as they do their jobs.
Around the world, journalists are being kidnapped, tortured and killed as the high-profile targets of violent extremists. Since 2014, terrorists in Syria and Yemen have executed four journalists. In January 2015, gunmen stormed the Paris offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, massacring 12 people, eight of them journalists.
More than 90 journalists have been kidnapped in Syria since the country's civil war began in 2011, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Some European governments have paid ransoms to release journalists; the U.S. government does not. Governments and news organizations are wrestling with how to protect journalists reporting from regions stalked by extremists.

Zilliqa has been gaining traction over the last weeks and for good reason. The team behind the Zilliqa platform has set out to create the fastest, fully decentralized blockchain platform in the industry.
As stated on the official Zilliqa website, Zilliqa is the next-gen high throughput blockchain platform. They aim to become a serious competitor to Ethereum, allowing for the deployment of smart contracts and dapps on their platform. The key difference is that Zilliqa will have a much higher transaction throughput at lower cost than Ethereum and many other blockchain platforms.
In this article, we take a look at the Zilliqa project and highlight the key features that have caused recent investor enthusiasm.
Blockchains and Scalability
If Zilliqa manages to launch its platform as it is envisioned, it will be one of the first blockchains that has solved the scalability problem without having to sacrifice decentralization.
Scalability remains a big issue for blockchains. The first scalability issues that come to mind are the ones faced by Bitcoin in late 2017, and the network congestion on Ethereum due to the simple yet highly popular CryptoKitties dapp. While those two are the most-known cases, many other blockchains are struggling with similar scalability issues.
At the core of these scalability issues are the nodes employed by blockchains. Nodes verify transactions and secure the network. The problem with nodes is that the more there are in a network, the harder it becomes to agree on transactions; thus it becomes harder to reach consensus.
For most blockchains, the development teams have tried to solve the scalability issues with a whole array of solutions such as side-chains and masternodes. However, most of these solutions come with new disadvantages; most prevalent being the sacrifice of full decentralization.
Zilliqa solves the scalability problem directly on its blockchain by employing an entirely new technological solution while remaining fully decentralized.
Sharding on Zilliqa
To prevent scalability issues, Zilliqa uses a method called sharding.
Sharding is a type of database partitioning — it breaks down databases into smaller, faster, and more easily manageable parts called data shards. These data shards are thus fractions of a database, meaning that the data shards only contain fractions of the information.
Therefore the shards are meaningless in themselves; their content is only valuable when put together. Sharding also allows for all data shards to be stored across multiple servers.
In the case of Zilliqa, sharding is used to divide all the work of verifying transactions and securing the network across the network. The verification of transactions is done by a group consisting of a maximum 600 nodes, called a shard. Whenever the threshold of 600 nodes is reached, a new shard is created.
If there are, for instance, 4,200 active nodes, there would be 7 shards. In this case, every shard handles 1/7, or 14.3%, of the total network transactions.
All transactions that are verified by a shard are packed into a microblock. Then the microblocks of each shard are added together (7 microblocks, going by our example) based on a process called DS Epoch. Once these microblocks are added together, they form one block that is added to the Zilliqa blockchain.
Thus, Zilliqa's sharding distributes the work among the network, and once the work is done it's all put together.
What's great about sharding is that it enables the network to become faster with new entrants, instead of slower. The more users the Zilliqa network attracts, the more transactions the network can process at an increasingly faster rate. With every 600 new nodes, the transaction throughput of the network increases.
In theory, there is no limit to the number of transactions per second the Zilliqa blockchain can handle, if the number of nodes keeps increasing. For now, Zilliqa has already achieved 2,488 transactions per second on their testnet — a number that greatly exceeds that of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Zilliqa Smart Contracts
How Zilliqa solves the scalability issue is a great first step. However, the platform needs to be used before it becomes anything of real value.
Zilliqa's use case is that it will become a smart contract and dapp platform. In this regard, the platform's sharding method is a constraint, as it requires an extreme amount of communication between the different shards to let a dapp run as intended. Because of this, the platform initially only supports smart contracts that are created for functional programming and data flows. According to the team, this will change in the near future.
In order to be able to employ smart contracts on the sharding-based Zilliqa platform, the team has created a new programming language. This programming language is called Scilla and has been created to make functional programming more secure and standardized.
The application of this new language is quite technical, but it basically comes down to a programming language that understands how to separate the computational work of a contract (state) from the communicative aspect of a contract (function).
Zilliqa's Consensus Algorithm
The Zilliqa team has stated that their blockchain will be able to handle the above mentioned transaction throughput without sacrificing decentralization. They are able to do this because of their unique, hybrid consensus algorithm. It is hybrid because it mixes Proof-of-Work with Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus.
Proof-of-Work is used to prove the identity of nodes, and once this is done a node is assigned a shard. Following this, the shard (600 nodes) finds consensus within itself to reach consensus for the microblock, and then with the other shards for the final block through the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance algorithm.
The Zilliqa Team
If it's PhDs you want, Zilliqa's team has them. The Zilliqa team has a strong academic background, and 3 of the founders are alumni of the prestigious National University of Singapore. The Zilliqa project even stems from a research project conducted by the NUS.
The CEO and co-founder is Xinshu Dong. Dong is an internationally recognized expert in the field of cyber security and has been involved in multiple national security projects for the Singapore government. He is supported by co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer Prateek Saxena, a professor in computer science at the National University of Singapore, the field in which he also holds a PhD.
The third co-founder and head of technology is Jia Yaoqi, who holds a PhD in computer science and specializes in network security and distributed system security. The fourth co-founder, PhD holder and head of research, is Amrit Kumar.
Here's their team line-up:
In terms of advisors, the Zillia team is also well-rounded. Loi Luu, founder of the Kyber Network is one of these advisors, as is Evan Cheng, Director of Engineering at Facebook and an award-winning engineer for his work at Apple. Below is the impressive list of Zilliqa's advisors:
The Zilliqa platform is currently running on its testnet and is scheduled to operate on its mainnet in Q3 2018. Another milestone to look out for is the release of the option to deploy smart contracts on the platform. The Beta will be released in the third quarter of 2018.
The team is also hosting quite a few meetups, the time and locations of which can be found here.
The ZIL Token
Until the launch of the Zilliqa mainnet, the ZIL token is an ERC-20 token, meaning it is part of the Ethereum network.
Once the mainnet is launched, ZIL will be moved to the Zilliqa blockchain and used as an incentive for miners to verify transactions, pay for transaction fees, and pay for smart contract execution.
You can buy the ZIL token on these exchanges. As ZIL is currently based on the Ethereum blockchain, you can store ZIL in any Ethereum-compatible wallet, such as Metamask.
Competitors and Challenges
Platform blockchains are incredibly hot right now and Zilliqa faces fierce competition from the biggest networks in the industry, including Ethereum, EOS, and NEO. Although Zilliqa is technologically superior to Ethereum, and to some extent EOS and NEO, it is lacking in terms of projects actually launching on its platform compared to these and other blockchain platforms.
Given Zilliqa's theoretically unlimited scalability, we can assume it's only a matter of time before the first applications start to create dapps on the platform. Still, it will remain a major challenge for Zilliqa to create an ecosystem that matches the size of several other big platforms in the industry, and in the end, blockchain platforms are valued based on the size of their network.
Concluding Remarks
Scalability is a very real problem in today's blockchain industry, and Zilliqa is offering a head-on solution. The team has already provided evidence for the claims of the uniquely high-transaction throughput of its testnet, which provides good hopes for the speed of the mainnet once it's launched.
For now, the theoretically unlimited scalability of the Zilliqa blockchain is their core selling point, but the platform will likely have to offer more than that to be able to compete with industry giants such as Ethereum, EOS, and NEO. These platforms are rapidly increasing their networks and quality of their ecosystems, as well as coming up with solutions for their scalability concerns.
Once quality projects start to partner up with Zilliqa, the platform can have a serious shot at becoming one of the leading platform blockchains, given its technological advantage.

Today is Sunday.
Classes start up tomorrow.
I'm not ready.
What happened to January?
I suppose that I do actually know where it went, but it went by much too fast. Having to head back to RPI on January 1st was disappointing since it was great to see all of my friends from back home. After a horrible travel day that involved 2 delays, a missed connection and expensive airport food I finally ended up in Albany after midnight, a total of 12 hours of travel. Then I was here, with nothing but the swim team and curiosities of what was to occur.
Being in architecture the first semester was a challenge to balance swimming in my life, and although I knew the entire team I didn't really feel like I KNEW them. (You know what I mean, right? Like that I hadn't spent enough time with them to individualize each person...)
On the third of January we went to Puerto Rico.
|The men's team has a tradition... of looking insane during the travel day of the training trip.
|And in between practices we had time to nap... ON THE BEACH.
|Or besides the pool. It was nice.
I trained harder that I had in my life, and got to spend all of my time with the swim team, in a tropical location. That is where I defined my friendships with the team, and my god do I love them. (Well, besides a few select individuals.) But in all seriousness I had a fantastic time, and made acquaintances into friends and friends into some of the best friends I've had.
After 8 days we headed back here, to Troy, to continue training. And after a little over a week and a half later here I am telling you about all of it.
And tomorrow I start school again.
I'm taking Building & Thinking of Architecture II, Materials & Design, Architecture Design Studio 1 (which is my studio course that takes up all my time), General Physics, and Sociology. Last semester felt kind of surreal because I was just dipping my feet into what to expect at college, but now I feel like it's time to get serious. In general my goals for this semester are to keep working hard academically, spend more time with members of the swim team, and to not stress myself out about the little things.
Listening to a CD that Natalie sent me, I wish you all a good luck on wherever you are in life right now.

Apple has finally fixed a few problems plaguing MacBook users in the latest macOS 10.12.5 update. The update rolled out today and is sized at nearly 865MB and will take about 15 minutes to install. Apart from fixing the bugs the update also brings to the table security improvements.
The update fixes the infamous audio stutter when played via the USB headphones. This was a common issue with all the users using the USB headphones and the only workaround was to use an adapter along with the headphones. The Changelog further mentions that the update "Enhances compatibility of the Mac App Store with future software update."
Yet another interesting item on the changelog is the ability to install Windows 10 Creators Update without the need to download any other files. It's not very clear on whether Apple wants to refer to direct upgrade to Windows 10 Creators Update or whether they have eliminated the need to download Windows 10 support files, which has been one of the most daunting task while installing Windows 10 using Bootcamp. Apple is expected to launch a new Mac OS version in the World Wide Conference scheduled in June so the macOS 10.12.5 might be the last update for the current iteration of the operating system.
macOS 10.12.5 Changelog
- Fixes an issue where audio may stutter when played through USB headphones.
- Enhances compatibility of the Mac App Store with future software update
- Adds support for media-free installation of Windows 10 Creators Update via the Boot Camp
The macOS 10.12.5 is the fifth upgrade for the Sierra and the last one added new features including the Night Shift mode. The update should appear on your App Store and will mostly be updated on the macOS download page as well. Additionally, security fixes for Yosemite and El Captain have also been released.

Consider Handmade Designer Furniture next time you go shopping for furniture. If you truly want something unique for your home you must consider custom designing your own.
Problem With Shopping For Furnishing
As with all things, you get what you pay for. Sometimes you don't even get Most furniture is purchased in a big box retail outlet. Chain of Furniture Stores carry similar, cookie cutter style furniture. Materials are often of inferior quality, options on style, fabric and color is limited. Furniture for big Retail Stores are mass-produced to assure quick production and delivery.
Handmade Designer Furniture Are The Better Choice
Once again, you get what you pay for and want. And if you make it yourself or have it made, you get exactly what you want. Style, Shape, Materials, Colors, Fabrics, Hardware are all chosen by you, the customer. Perhaps you have a unique design in mind. Maybe you saw a piece of antique furniture in a magazine or catalog that you can't find anywhere. Or you're looking for a furniture piece that will fit perfectly into an awkward space. Why not look for furniture that are unique to you. Dining Sets, Sofas, Bedroom Furniture, Tables and Chairs no one else will have. When you choose Handmade Designer Furniture you get exactly what you want.
Custom handmade furniture can be designed for particular spaces in your home. This may be an oddly shaped space or unusually large or small room. Custom Home Furniture can be made to your specifications and liking.

Do you have a talent for designing your own handmade furniture plans? Or maybe choose from simple homemade furniture ideas by others, which you can easily have recreated by someone. Let's check out some cool furniture others have made and get your Idea Juices flowing.
Handmade Wooden Furniture
This one is called SALISH SEA BATHTUB and is build from over 200 pieces of sustainably harvested sapele wood. The Designer, Seth Rolland, makes his custom furniture in Taos, New Mexico and in Port Townsend, WA.
Need some new backyard furniture. Consider these unique Patio Chairs that are super comfy.
The Shifting Slab Bench is an outdoor bench is build and stack shifting legs.
Made from reclaimed wood pieces, this Wooden Dresser is nothing short of stunning. Put together piece by piece and with meticulous craftsmanship, this would be a keepsake to pass on.
This Massive Concrete Dining Table and Benches are made of cast concrete. This will not leave your backyard in the strongest of storms.
Too late for me now that my kids are older, but had I seen this Handcrafted Half Moon Cradle when my kids were born, I would have bought it in a flash. So cute and definitely unique.
This Deluxe Outdoor Swing swings on silent bushings when attached to its optional cantilevered stand. Matching Rockers and Chairs are available as well and transfer your backyard into an oasis.
Don't forget a piece of furniture for adults. Check out this unique design of a Portable Wine Tasting Table for your Backyard or anywhere else you like to enjoy some vino.
This amazing piece is a handmade modern furniture design by yet another custom wood furniture maker. The Vanity features two cylinder shaped storage spaces with 8 moving drawers for ample storage. The large Mirror in this design is equipped with wireless touch screen backlit lighting integrated into the mirror. The smaller oval magnified mirror moves seamlessly across the top of the Vanity via a solid bronze arm.
This custom-built, folding desk is a perfect desk where space is limited. These wall-mounted desks fold away, standing only about 9″ from the wall and allow for plenty of movement around them.
This extraordinary Sycamore Root Coffee Table is crafted with a vertical cross-section of an old, enormous sycamore root ball. This is a fantastic piece of handmade designer furniture and will be the focal point in your home.
If you kids need extra beds for sleepovers, but the is not enough floor space to just add another/bigger bed in the room, this Custom Designed Bunkbed is the solution. The main bed is a raised platform that supports a queen mattress. A set of stairs leads to an upper twin bed platform. Drawers pull out from the stair risers and shelves (some are open, others are faced with sliding doors) that face the queen bed. The bed is accented with colorful blue- and silver-dyed wood inlays. The ability to incorporate inlaid veneers adds durable color instead of paint.
The Rising Table is truly stunning. A rather simple idea of starting with a flat surface that is capable of transforming into a piece of stylishly designed furniture. The designer incorporated an intricate incision pattern in the flat surface of the wood that resulted into the creation of a latticework of 'woven' bamboo beams that make up the center of the table.
A crib like no other. This is one cool Pod for Babies. Futuristic Furniture Design at best and screams safety and comfort for your little one. "Pod is a cosy cocoon-shaped cot with smooth, rounded edges for a distinct modern look. Innovative clear acrylic sides with star-shaped cutouts allow an unimpeded view of bubs for parents, making checking on baby simple." -ubabub
Real tree, carved wood, natural dyes, steel and tempered glass make up the stunning pieces below. Inspired by nature the fallen branches are twisted and readapted so they can find a new life as sculptural and functional pieces. These Bookshelves and Tables will create a focal point in your home.
Handmade Designer Furniture are not found in your local Furniture Stores. Next time you are shopping for a truly unique, uncommon and exclusive design consider having it made to your specifications by a Custom Furniture Designer. Whether you prefer handmade rustic furniture, handcrafted solid wooden furniture, or a modern look, think about your handmade furniture ideas. Find a designer to help you create your homemade furniture plans and enjoy your custom piece.

If you still haven't watched last night's episode of True Blood, because you're an "adult" or you "gave up on that stupid show three seasons ago like most sane people," get caught up and then read my Pulitzer-considered recap. Once you're done with that, we can proceed with the news that TV Guide ran right after "Fire in the Hole" concluded on HBO, as everyone's favorite TV schedule and listings organizers were able to speak with True Blood star Joe Manganiello to get his thoughts on being killed off just three episodes into the final season. Yes, it's official, there's no magic or trickery that is going to bring Alcide Herveaux back from werewolf heaven.
Alcide's death makes sense when you read Manganiello's take on it, at least from the perspective of making it easier for Sookie Stackhouse to figure out which guy she's going to end up with after leading on every living, breathing male creature in Bon Temps for six seasons. Still, Alcide deserved a lot better ending than the one he got. (UPDATE: I'm no longer upset for Joe Manganiello, now that he's dating Sofia Vergara.)
When did you find out that Alcide would die so soon into the final season?
Joe Manganiello: When I read the script for the finale of last year, I called it. I put it down and I was like, "Oh, Alcide and Sookie are together? They're going to kill me." Story-wise, you can't have her break his heart because then the audience isn't going to side with her. You have to get her to Bill and Eric because they have to tie up the A and B plot. If you're looking at a show like this where they're looking for characters to help the show be vital, meaning you can kill off main characters and all of a sudden anyone can be killed off at any time, there is no one else my character is connected to except for Sam (Sam Trammell). So by default, I did some quick math in my head and was like, "They're going to kill me really quickly." (Via TV Guide)
This makes perfect sense from a story perspective, except it's still the laziest f*cking solution they could have come up with. Basically, after Alcide's pathetic Season 6 story that somehow wrapped up with him dating Sookie, the True Blood writers had two things they could do with him – Kill him off quick and easy or draw out the inevitability of him losing Sookie. I don't blame them for killing Alcide off this fast, but the way they did it was pretty lousy. At least he got to die on camera, though, because Rutina Wesley didn't even get that respect when Tara Thornton was killed off in the first episode of this season. (You know, if she's dead.)
How do you feel about the way in which Alcide was killed off?
Manganiello: Getting shot in the head by some nameless, faceless hillbilly, dying naked in the woods on the ground and then being in Malibu when it was about 30 degrees out and try not to shiver? [Laughs] That's not exactly how I saw it going down, but I guess it's better than giving one of the vampires the bragging rights.
That's what's really the biggest load of crap about Alcide's death. There was no honor in it. He took two bullets, one to the heart and one to the head, from two schmucks in the bushes. In fact, I didn't even think about that in my recap last night. We just got done watching half of the idiot humans in Bon Temps learn how to shoot guns and somehow these a-holes not only mastered their aim, but they also managed to pop the jacked wolfman twice in the most lethal spots from within shrubbery. At least give me a JFK conspiracy theory that there was a Magneto vampire hiding in the trees, because those idiots couldn't even shoot at Sam when he turned into an owl, of all f*cking animals.
Bottom line – Alcide should have died protecting Sookie, which I guess he kind of did, if the point was that those humans had the worst-but-luckiest aim. If Alcide had taken a bullet for Sookie, she would have felt like crap for not loving him as much, and she deserves that.
So what about the odds of the male characters remaining ending up with Sookie? I'm pretty sure Bill is even money at this point, Eric Northman probably jumps up to 3-1 and Sam Merlotte is the longshot at 10-1, because he's Sam and he's a nerd. What does the guy who clearly can't leak spoilers think about that?
With Alcide's death, do you think this opens up the door for Sookie to end up with Bill?
Manganiello: I think it paves the way for resolution of those plot lines going back to Season 1. I don't know if it paves the way for her to wind up with somebody, but it definitely paves the way for resolution. You have to have some sort of tie-up one way or the other, whether that's an endgame situation or a confrontation. In Charlaine [Harris'] book, she winds up with Sam, so that's a completely different choice. Obviously we now know that it won't be Alcide. There are infinite possibilities. The ending will be controversial, I will say that. It's going to be polarizing.
My guess is that this all swung back in Sam's favor for a book ending (I actually didn't know that because LOL reading is for suckas), so that would mean Nicole would have to become diseased vampire food in captivity and then Eric succumbs to Hep-V after some heroics (or he ends up with Jason Stackhouse) and Bill realizes his destiny and/or True Death. In conclusion, I spend way too much time thinking about this consistently disappointing hour of television.

The changes made by the United Kingdom government to its visa policy for the non-European Union nationals will be implemented from Thursday. The move is said to affect a large number of Indian citizens.
The UK Home Office announced the new visa rules for non-EU nationals earlier in November. The rules require people who have made their visa applications on or after November 24 under the Tier 2 intra-company transfer (ICT) category to at least 30,000 pounds (USD 37,131) in salary for a permit. Earlier salary threshold for the same category was 20,800 pounds (USD 25,723).
"The first of two phases of changes to Tier 2, announced by the government in March following a review by the Independent Migration Advisory Committee will affect applications made on or after November 24 unless stated otherwise," a statement from the UK Home Office said.
The new visa rules will impact Indian IT professionals the most as the ICT route is majorly taken by the Indian IT companies in Britain. According to the findings of the UK Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), Indian IT workers accounted for almost 90 percent of the visas which were issued under the ICT route.
The new rules also have a new English language requirement in place for family members of a foreign national in UK applying for settlement in the country after two-and-a-half years. The new rules will also apply to the parents and partners of the foreign national who are currently in the UK under family immigration rules whose due date is scheduled to expire on or after May 1, 2017.
"(Immigration) is not serving to increase the incentive to employers to train and upskill the UK workforce. Ready access to a pool of skilled IT professionals in India is an example of this. We did not see any substantive evidence of long-standing reciprocal arrangements whereby UK staff are given the opportunity to gain skills, training and experience from working in India," the MAC report said.

Henning Larsen completes iceberg-like opera house in Hangzhou
Henning Larsen designed tech white angular volumes of Hangzhou Yuhang Opera, which visitors can climb up, to look like "floes of ice" on a lake.
The waterfront performance venue in Hangzhou, China, contains a 1,400-seat auditorium, a 500-seat black box theatre, and an exhibition centre.
The white facade of the cultural centre in Hangzhou, China, is punctuated with geometric windows designed to create a pattern like cracked ice on a frozen lake.
Two sloping white volumes that are designed to look like ice form the opera house, with roofs that touch the ground at the place where they meet on a public plaza.
One side of the black box theatre can be opened to the plaza, transforming the space into an open air venue with the capacity for 10,000 people. Visitors can walk up the roofs for a view out over the lake that Henning Larsen built next to the Hangzhou Yuhang Opera.
Mirroring the city's existing West Lake, the new body of water both reflects the opera house and provides a pleasant outdoor space for the city's residents.
"There is a competition amongst Chinese cities to create new destinations, each with their iconic cultural landmarks," said Claude Godefroy, design director at Henning Larsen's Hong Kong office.
"When designing those cultural nodes our most important task is to create truly lively urban centres that can welcome citizens at all times whether they are paying guests or not."
A promenade rings the lake, which is dotted with ret...

Some time ago I started a series about awesome people who love dolls and take great photos with their dolls and Minimagine's furniture. My second guest is Nina.
She is a dolls and miniatures collector from Germany. There are a lot of photos on her Flickr profile. Her models are mostly Blythe, Licca and Momoko dolls. I like pictures with dolls on miniature bicycles. She has also a lovely cat.
I made for Nina bench 606-01 (above) and stool 603-01 (below).

Saunas can be an entire room or just a small part of your bathroom depending on how much you intend on spending and how big your home is. You can find hundreds of saunas ideas in a range of places from magazines to your local gym. With home, there are many different pictures of saunas showing the range of options you have when creating one in your own home.
What is the best sauna design?
The best sauna design is often one which is large enough to enjoy with more than one person! Whether you would prefer a sauna that has different levels, is all wooden, includes more glass or is an extension of your bathroom, there is a perfect choice for everyone. Another option is a portable home sauna. This may be a more economical idea for people who do not want to dedicate an entire room to a spa. You may find that the best way to choose the right sauna design is to hire a professional. Finding someone to design your sauna often means you will save money in the long run as they will be trained properly. Using bathsystems you are easily able to find and contact people who are close to you who can help create your dream.
How can I build a custom sauna?
Buying a custom sauna can either be a brilliant way to save money or a risky situation that will cost you extra to repair. There are unlimited options for what you can choose and often the materials are pre-cut especially to a very high quality. Keeping in mind all of the most important steps, from lighting to properly attaching the sauna heater, is essential. If you feel that you are unable to do the work properly yourself then there are many professionals in your area who are willing to help.
What do I need to consider when buying a spa?
There are many things to consider before you buy a spa. The real question is whether you have the funds to afford expensive equipment or whether it is worth first investing in some choices such as massager shower heads and portable foot spas. These can easily add a luxurious feel to your bathroom without the expense.

Find A Session
Dare to Lead
Leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies, are asking the same question: "How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?" Based on 20 years of research, including the past seven studying leadership, Brené Brown found the answer: Daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100% teachable, observable, and measurable. It's learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. In this session, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to explore:
- The ten cultural barriers to courageous leadership.
- The four skill sets that underpin courage:
- Rumbling with Vulnerability
- Living into Our Values
- Braving Trust
- Learning to Rise
- The difference between armored leadership and daring leadership.
- Why curiosity and grounded confidence are at the heart of brave work and tough conversations.
Brown writes, "The skill sets that make up courage are not new; they've been aspirational leadership skills for as long as there have been leaders. Yet we haven't made great progress in developing these skills in leaders, because we don't dig into the humanity of this work—it's too messy. It's much easier to talk about what we want and need than it is to talk about the fears, feelings, and scarcity that get in the way of achieving all of it. Basically, and perhaps ironically, we don't have the courage for real talk about courage. But it's time. And if you want to call these "soft skills" after you've tried putting them into practice—go for it. I dare you."

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (Reuters) - A Minnesota dentist's killing of Zimbabwe's Cecil the lion just outside a national wildlife preserve has unleashed death threats and a global firestorm of hate messages on social media.
About 200 people protested on Wednesday outside the suburban Minneapolis office of Walter Palmer, 55, calling for him to be extradited to Zimbabwe to face charges.
Palmer, an avid big game hunter, said in a statement on Tuesday he regrets killing Zimbabwe's most famous lion on July 1. He said he had hired professional local guides who secured hunting permits and believed the hunt was legal.
Cecil, a rare black-maned lion, was lured out of Hwange National Park using a bait and was wounded with a bow and arrow, and not shot dead until 40 hours later.
Cecil was fitted with a GPS collar for a research project by scientists from Oxford University and was one of the oldest and most famous lions in Zimbabwe.
Palmer temporarily closed his office in Bloomington, Minnesota, on Tuesday as criticism grew of his killing of Cecil and negative business reviews flooded Google and Yelp.
The lion's death has spawned half a dozen petitions on Change.org and calls by animal rights groups for U.S. laws to protect big game animals and prevent hunters from bringing trophies back to the United States.
Bloomington Police are investigating threats against Palmer, whose location is not known. Because many of the threats were made online, police are having difficulty determining their origins and credibility.
A small memorial of stuffed animals stood in the entry door to the building that houses Palmer's dental practice. Signs taped to the door said "Rot in Hell" and "Palmer there is a deep cavity waiting for you!"
Demonstrators called for Palmer's arrest and asked people not to use his dental practice.
"Walter, you are a murderer, you are a terrorist," said Rachel Augusta, a Minneapolis resident and mentor coordinator at the Animal Rights Coalition, which organized the protest.
Even Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton weighed in.
"It's an iconic lion," Dayton, a Democrat, told reporters. "To lure the animal out of the preserve, I don't understand how anybody thinks that's a sport. I just think it is horrible."
Palmer, who has not been charged, has been under official scrutiny for his hunting in the past. He pleaded guilty in 2008 to a federal charge of lying to a U.S. Fish & Wildlife agent about a black bear hunt in Wisconsin two years earlier. Palmer was sentenced to one year probation fined $2,938.
He had been accused of killing a bear outside his permitted zone and then hauling it back 40 miles (64 km) inside to register it with authorities.
In a letter to patients reported by WCCO radio, he apologized for killing the well known lion.
"I don't often talk about hunting with my patients because it can be a divisive and emotionally charged topic," he said in the letter to patients. "I understand and respect that not everyone shares the same views on hunting."
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating whether any U.S. laws were violated in the lion's killing and will assist Zimbabwe officials, said spokeswoman Vanessa Kauffman.
Palmer said in his statement he had not been contacted by authorities in Zimbabwe or the United States and would assist in any inquiries. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota declined to comment.
The attorney who represented Palmer in his Wisconsin case could not be reached immediately for comment.
A professional hunter, Theo Bronkhorst, pleaded not guilty in a Zimbabwean court on Wednesday on charges of failing to prevent an unlawful hunt.
Even U.S. comedian Jimmy Kimmel weighed in on the lion hunt.
"I am honestly curious to know why a human being would feel compelled to do that. How is that fun?" Kimmel said on Tuesday night on his network television show.

Creating Business in a Small Town
SALMON, IDAHO — Seven years ago, any out-of-towner might not have looked twice at the old Odd Fellows building in downtown Salmon, which is in central Idaho north of Challis. But volunteer Cindy Phelps and the Craig and Jessica McCallum family saw potential — a tan brick facade on Main Street where business and nostalgia blend. "I absolutely love that old building … I think everyone does," said Phelps, a semi-retired Lemhi County Humane Society Board Member. More than seven years ago, the building held little more than creaking boards and potential. With a little love and a lot of community dedication, that building is now a thriving bakery, thrift shop and community gathering place. But it wasn't an easy journey to get there. Not long ago, Phelps and the rest of the board members of the Humane Society were looking for a new home for their thrift store, Rags … Continue reading

Any installation of high temperature refractory or insulating products requires the use of fastening systems. In refractory or ceramic steel, refractory anchors contribute to the longevity of the installed materials.
The resistances of insulating and refractory materials depend on the use of suitable anchors.
Our team supports you in the definition of fastening systems through its expertise:
- Anchors for fibrous packing
- Concrete anchors
- Anchors for bricks and suspended vaults
- Load Recovery
The refractory concretes are subject to cracking and can be reinforced by the addition of metallic fibers also called reinforcing needles. These fibers disperse homogeneously during preparation and reduce the stress caused by the expansion of the residual mixing water during the curing of the concrete.
These fibers are available in two geometries and in soft and stainless steel refractory quality:
|Straight Fibers (Melt extracted)
|These melt-extracted fibers are straight and intended for applications with small mechanical stresses. Available in AiSi 304, AisSi 309 and AiSi310.
|Drawn wire hook fibers
|Hooked fibers offer 4 times more tensile strength than straight fibers. This property gives the concrete better mechanical characteristics, greater flexural strength and limits the appearance and evolution of cracks. Available in AiSi 304 and AiSi 310.
We also supply on plan brick anchors for refractory concretes of cement kilns, furnace vault metallurgy and terracotta.
