We Want Your Part Exchange!
Here at Imperial Cars we understand the value of your part exchange and how this contributes to the final 'cost of change' when considering purchasing a new vehicle. The 'cost of change' is the real cost to you of buying a new car - the difference between the retail price of our car and the trade value of your car, rather than solely basing your decision on your part exchange valuation. We are open and transparent by offering you a really competitively priced car whilst providing a competitive trade valuation for your car.
How We Determine the Value of Your Part Exchange?
More importantly how can you be sure you're getting the top trade valuation for your part exchange? Ideally we would want to assess your car at one of our showrooms which will enable us to give you the most accurate valuation for your car. Alternatively, we can carry out a remote valuation of your vehicle before you arrive at the showroom to test drive your new car. Again, to enable us to give you as accurate a valuation as we can prior to arriving at the showroom, you will need to make contact with us using the number at the head of this page. We can then talk you through the process which will mean you will need to carry out an assessment of your vehicle and provide us with any details of cosmetic damage (including images) or mechanical issues. This is not an onerous task and our advisors will talk you through this process step by step. This ensures that there are no surprises for you or us when you arrive at the showroom with your part exchange vehicle.
Once you arrive on site and we've had the opportunity to verify the validity of all the information you provided us with regarding the condition of your car you'll just need to sign on the dotted line to drive away in your new car the same day. It really is that simple!

Certified Pre-Owned BMW Vehicles Deliver Peace of Mind Driving
Hilton Head-area drivers that are considering purchasing a BMW should consider our inventory of Certified Pre-Owned BMW vehicles. Whether you're looking for a 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5 or 7 Series, you may be pleasantly surprised to find out how affordable it can be to get behind the wheel of a BMW.
When you purchase a certified pre-owned BMW, you can do so with the confidence that comes from knowing that your vehicle has undergone a thorough certification process. To even be considered for the program, a vehicle must be a late model, show less than 60,000 miles on the odometer, be equipped with only genuine BMW parts and have its full maintenance history — as well as a complete CARFAX report. If the vehicle makes it that far in the process, BMW factory-trained technicians will then put it through a rigorous, multi-point inspection. If a part doesn't work properly, it gets repaired. If it can't be repaired, the vehicle doesn't get certified. Plain and simple
Certified Pre-Owned BMW owners receive the level of customer service that new BMW owners enjoy. BMW has always offered one of the most comprehensive new vehicle warranties in its segment, and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are also thoroughly covered, offering up to 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles also come with BMW Roadside Assistance, which includes lock-out service, towing and much more
Stop by our showroom at 1230 Fording Island Road (Highway 278) in Bluffton to find out more about our Certified Pre-Owned BMW program.

- Services:App, Branding, UI/UX
The Challenge
Headquartered in San Jose, California, Cisco is a multinational technology conglomerate and a leader in IT and networking. It manufactures and sells hardware, equipment, and high-technology products and services.
For the efficient management of workplace resources and optimized collaboration, they built Cisco Smart+Connected™ Meeting Spaces, an app that simplifies meeting room reservation and resource management process.
Targeted at employees, the app simplified room scheduling, improved visibility of room occupancy, and enhanced collaboration experience for end users. Administrators got insights into room usage with detailed reports on rooms, locations, users, and departments. However, performing the key tasks quickly was a challenge for them. Tasks like booking a conference room, searching for an employee, and reserving a workstation near a particular employee were time-consuming.
Our Consulting Approach
Interviews with stakeholders helped us understand that there is room for improvement in terms of UI and UX. So we initiated our research which included brainstorming and benchmarking references to enhance the user experience and simplify key tasks. After a profound discussion with the client, we knew we had to enhance the user interface and user experience without re-engineering the app and impacting the technology architecture. We understood the objectives, created user personas and then formed strategies.
At EvolutionCo, we performed various exercises to find out the level of customization possible. In addition to that, we also created branding guidelines and wireframes.
The proposed strategy was to reduce the number of screens and integrate multiple features in one screen so as to make it easier for employees to perform key tasks like looking for conference rooms, workspaces, buildings and colleagues, and for booking collaborative spaces.

Endless Energy, Colour and Arts: Toronto
We are in Toronto – Canada's beloved city and one of the stars of North America. Toronto, with its location on the Lake Ontario, skyscapers, constant dynamism, Victorian buildings dating back to the 19th century, people from all over the world, undoubtedly dazzles people. When you walk around Downtown Toronto, the center of finance, fashion, shopping and entertainment, wander around the streets of China Town, Little Italy and Little Spain, and see the iconic CN Tower, Gooderham Building and the Yonge-Dundas Square, you easily understand why Toronto is a capital of arts and culture. With its prestigious museums, art galleries, art-loving cafes, restaurants and hotels, annual art fairs and events, this is the right place to find a unique citylife and artistic experience.
AGO: Toronto's Number 1 Art Institution
With an impressive collection of more than 95,000 works, AGO (founded in 1900) is the place where the heart of art beats in Toronto. It features a vast selection of art from all over the world as well as a rich program of exhibitions and events in an impressive building designed by the world-renowned architect Frank Gehry.
The museum is home to a rich collection of Canadian contemporary art, some of the finest examples of the Inuit art, European masterpieces by artists like Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso and Thomas Gainsborough and West African Art. AGO is also new known with its prestigious collection of more than 40,000 photographs by 19th-century American, Canadian and European photographers, and 20th-century modernists. These works shed light on the development of photography from the 19th century to the present day.
The museum building is as impressive as its collection. The front side of the building looks like a sailing ship while the titanium and glass covered south side strikes the onlooker with its vibrant blue color. The four-storey building has an iconic spiral staircase which stands at the heart of the museum, and opens up to a magnificent view of Downtown Toronto, which gives the visitors an opportunity to enjoy the wonderful view of the Grange Park.
The World History is Under This Crystal
Since its foundation in 1914, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) has been the place to discover arts and culture from around the globe. Canada's largest museum also houses the country's biggest collection. The museum gained a worldwide recognition with the prysmatic addition to its historic Victorian building. Named "The Crystal", the magnificent structure was created during the museum's building restoration project; it brings the old and the new together in a perfect harmony.
ROM's Crystal houses almost six million objects, ranging from fossils and skeletons to gems, jewelry, furniture and other artifacts, which celebrate the diversity of humanity. It is possible to say that every door of this 4-storey building is opening to a different world; Hellenistic Period and Ancient Roman times, mummies and pyramids from Ancient Egypt and daily objects and artefacts from African civilizations are a few examples of the rich collection of displays. The third floor houses a special European Collection which consists of furniture and decorative arts, and traces the development of the concept taste and beauty all way from the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Victorian times to the present day.
A Different Color in Every Corner: Graffiti Alley
Graffiti Alley is definitely one of the most favorite spots of Toronto's instagram-lovers. People come here to take pictures in this vibrant atmosphere 24-7. Located on the intersection of the Fashion District and Chinatown, this one-kilometer long Graffiti Alley (also called Rush Lane) features the best, most vibrant and dynamic examples of street art and murals, which change on a regular basis. Created in 2011 in the aftermath of the legalization of graffiti, Graffiti Alley is also a highly popular area for mini street festivals and music videos.
Distillery: Street Festivals, Antique Shops, Installations and More
The Distillery is a pedestrian-only district devoted to culture, arts and entertainment. Built in 1832, it is also home to the oldest buildings of North America. It consists of a set of industrial factory buildings which nowadays house antique shops, art galleries, chocolatiers and restaurants. Distillery offers the visitors a vibrant and unique city life during the whole year – here you can find an endless city ife, which consists of temporary art shows and installations, winter Christmas Market and summer music festivals.
Islamic Art is in the Aga Khan Museum
The Aga Khan Museum opened its doors to the Toronto public in 2014. This exciting museum represents the artistic, intellectual, and scientific heritage of Muslim civilizations across the centuries from the Iberian Peninsula to China, from the 8th to 19th centuries. The museum collection sheds light on the artistic, intellectual, and scientific heritage of Muslim civilizations with calligraphy, ceramics, scientific equipments, manuscripts and jewellery originating from the private collection of Aga Khan and London Ismaili Institute. In addition, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions that represent the emerging themes and new artistic developments of the region. With its green landscape, sleek, 1.000 square-metre, minimalist museum building, pool and rich collection, Aga Khan Museum continues to be one of the most prestigious institutions of North America.
Toronto's Art-loving Hotel
What is artlovers' favorite, the most art-loving hotel of Toronto? The Glenstone. Behind these historic walls, the Glenstone is an art-centric destination like no other. This beautifully designed hotel was built in 1889 by G.M. Miller. In addition to its central location and historical outlook that never gets old or aged, Glenstone is the perfect place for artlovers. The hotel organizes temporary exhibitions throughout the whole year – it has three galleries and art spaces that are specifically devoted to contemporary art.
The hotel has more to offer. It has a total of 37 concept rooms, each of which were designed by a different artist. Created in a unique artistic style and fashion, each room opens up to an alternative imaginary world: Teen Queen, Surreal Gourmet, Puzzle Room ve Snapshot are a few examples which combines artists' rich artistic imagination with a pleasant stay.
A Cafe and Art Gallery
Art Square Café and art gallery is located at the opposite of Art Gallery of Ontario.
It is almost impossible to pass by this cute, green-framed café without notice (and hence without a visit). The café is very popular amongst Toronto's tourists and artlovers. In addition to its delicious food, it exhibits paintings, sculptures, drawings and crafts by independent artists and houses special events and workshops devoted to arts. You may be able to see some familiar tastes in the menu: turkish coffee, turkish tea, pastry, menemen are quite popular among the café's regulars.
Toronto and Art: ART TORONTO
Canada's most prestigious art event, Art Toronto, ranks top in the city's art calendar. Since 2000, the fair has not only been bringing the continent's most important artists, galleries and institutions together but also turning the world's eyes to Toronto. The last edition of Art Toronto was organized between 26-29 October 2018, featured a total of 102 galleries from 7 countries and 28 cities including Canada, America, Germany, England and Belgium. Every year Art Toronto hosts emerging artists, new galleries, a rich seminar program and FOCUS section which focuses on a particular part of the world.
Iconic, Historic and Extraordinary
What is Toronto's most iconic building? Of course, Gooderham. Also often called the Flatiron Building, this red-brick structure stands at the East side of 49 Wellington Street at the intersection of Front and Wellington Streets. Erected by architect David Roberts, Jr. in 1892, the building which housed the offices of George Gooderham, the president of the Bank of Toronto in the past is still used as an office building. This building's significance mostly lies in its unusual shape and colour, very different from anything else you would see in the area.
Another key feature of the Gooderham is its rear wall. When you turn around, you see an entirely different picture – a mural on Gooderham's rear wall, which was painted by Canadian artist Derek Besant in 1980. Also known as the Flatiron Mural, the painting creates a 3-D effect and illusion that the painting's edges are fluttering away. It creates a sense of movement and motion on the onlooker, which makes it one of the finest examples of the trompe l'oeil effect.
Best Examples of Contemporary Art: MOCA
Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto re-opened its doors to the public in September 2018 in its new home which was formerly used as an aluminium factory. The 5-storey building has a 55.000 square meter space. The museum was founded in 1999 with an aim to support Contemporary Canadian Art and represent independent artists. Since then, it has been offering a dynamic art space which goes beyond the coventional understanding of museums. MOCA does not have a permanent collection rather it hosts Canadian and international artists on the 2nd and 3rd floors, andorganizes artist residency programs and artist studios on the 4th and 5th floors. The prestigious museum featured works by Elmgreen ve Dragset, Jihuyn Jung, Vera Frenjkel, Duane Hopkins so far, and more to come in 2019, Kiya Itako and Andreas Angelidakis' shows will take place in MOCA this year.

This is one single-serving packet.
DandyBlend is a delicious coffee substitute beverage which is sugar, gluten*, wheat, caffeine, dairy, fat and pesticide free. It is also mineral rich high antioxidant, low carb and calorie, no acidity or bitterness with a rich and smooth great coffee flavor.
DandyBlend features both the health benefits of dandelion and the rich, full-bodied flavor, smoothness and texture of real coffee.
*Gluten-free notice: Gluten, which is comprised of proteins that are not water-soluble, is left behind in the grounds to be composted during the extracting process, leaving Dandy Blend largely gluten-free. However, tests show that minuscule amounts of gluten can get through in partially hydrolyzed form and may cause a reaction for those who are most sensitive.
Dandy Blend is made of water-soluble extracts of roasted roots of dandelion, chicory and beets, and the grains of barley and rye. Nothing else is added. While we make no claims for Dandy Blend other than that it is a delicious herbal beverage with the taste, body, and texture of coffee, the ingredients - dandelion, chicory and beet roots, and barley and rye grains - are all health-promoting foods respected throughout the world. It contains over 50 trace minerals in each cup, most of which the body uses to help synthesize compounds needed in metabolism.

Writers, what inspires you? What makes you pick up a pen or pull out a laptop? Many things inspire me. It can be the singing of the birds, the laughter or tears of a child, the rising or setting of the sun or some lyrics or special tune. Or, inspiration may come from conversations with newly acquired friends or from fond remembrances of old acquaintances.
I personally feel that writers need a muse. They need something or someone who piques their interest and heightens certain emotions. Then, ideas began to flow onto the paper or computer screen. During the overflow of ideas, many of life's past situations come forth to aid in clearly telling the tale.
Writers may have to take a host of positive traits seen in others and bundle them to create one likeable character or use a composite of adverse attributes to develop that not-so-likeable character. Yet something has to impress the writer's consciousness so that they will start a new project because writing itself is no easy task.
Writers can peer into a glass darkly and see the light that others simply cannot detect. They have great imaginations which often hinge on speaking to the unvoiced emotions of others. Their art awakens those identifiable feelings in its readers though they may not have been spoken. That is the link! That is the voice! Mostly, that is the hook!
I would venture to say that writers need a muse. They need some form of inspiration that sparks that flame. Then they can write something which will take others along for an unforgettable and vicarious experience.
Writers, "What inspires you?"

The Price of Justice
Sentencing policy is not the best way to cut prison numbers
The Labour Opposition is fond of insisting that Conservative policies are "a cover for cuts". The opposite is, in fact, more often true. Cuts are often the cover for policies. This has certainly been the case for Kenneth Clarke, the Justice Secretary,who, in the quest for savings in his department to the value of £2 billion, published a Green Paper containing a liberal penal policy that his own party cordially loathed.
On Tuesday, in a meeting in Downing Street, the Prime Minister effectively pulled the first draft. The central proposal, which a series of opinion polls have shown to be highly unpopular, is that prisoners could receive a discount of up to 50 per cent of their sentence in return for an early plea of

On campus, you'll find group study rooms, computer study ...
Linnaeus University, the second largest university in southern Sweden, has an enrollment of approximately 35,000 Swedish and international students from over 60 countries studying at the two campuses. Although the majority of courses at the university are taught in Swedish, there are many courses in a wide range of fields taught in English which are open to USAC students.
The university has two campuses. One is a central campus situated south of the Växjö town center in a park-like setting, five kilometers from the city center and close to a historic country house, Teleborgs Slott. Everything one might need is located on campus in Växjö. The other campus is located in Kalmar, on the Baltic coast. The Kalmar campus facilities are integrated into the town, rather than being on a centralized campus, but everything is within biking distance. Their proximity to the sea is reflected in an emphasis in nautical science, marine biology, and international commerce. Orientation is held separately at each campus.
Although the majority of courses at the university are taught in Swedish, there are many courses in a wide range of fields taught in English—the majority of which are offered in Växjö—which are open to USAC students. The university offers a wide variety of services for students that includes: 24/7 access to computer labs, a copy and printing center, student welfare office, an on-campus chapel, and library that houses a European Documentation Center.

.:253/365: Andy Nyman On Twitter:.
Andy Nyman, the partner in crime for celebrated mentalist Derren Brown, is also an accomplished actor, and a veritable movie buff. You will notice in his tweets that he hardly (if at all) talks about magic or mentalism, but his insights into the entertainment industry definitely are worth a read. Given the brevity of Twitter, it's actually a wonder how much he can pack into 140 characters, to say the least.
I've always liked Nyman's style, and the contrast that he demonstrates when paired with Derren Brown. Despite the unmistakably British characteristics of Nyman's performing style, there's no mistaking his different approach to performances, and how his ideas can definitely shape Derren Brown's subsequent performances in a way only Derren could possibly interpret.
.:254/365: Jay Sankey On Twitter:.
Jay Sankey may not be my favourite magician, but the man is a very generous soul, and his Tweets are filled with oodles of useful stuff for magicians, especially since he likes showing teasers of his new material, of which he never seems to have a dearth of.
As one of the most prolific minds in the magic industry, it's hard to not pay attention to Jay Sankey, because when the man comes up with a gem, boy is it a gem worth keeping and using for the rest of your magic career. Lucky followers of the man even got free previews of his latest material, and even found out the method to the new effect before it was publicly released.
Sankey is definitely one of the foremost contributors to the world of magic in the past decade. That much can't be denied.
.:255/365: Daniel Garcia On Twitter:.
A man with a very offbeat sense of humor and more self-aware than practically anyone else you could ever think of in the industry, Daniel Garcia's Twitter is a lot like Sankey's, in terms of covering a lot of ground when it comes to magic.
Ultimately, you can't go wrong following DG's Tweets, if you're a magician. The guy just can't miss with his material. He has consistently had reliable effects, and the fact that he has given every street magician hope in being able to perform a card through window effect without any secret assistants involved is nothing but sweet, sweet gravy.

They said it
A great place
We sometimes take for granted all of the things that make our region such a great place to live, work and grow a business: great schools, a high educated, talented and productive workforce, vibrant downtowns and an enviable quality of life.

Will need help
I don't think the three of them are going to be the reason whether or nor we'll win a national championship.
UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma, saying the help that comes from other players, not just returning All Americans Napheesa Collier, Katie Lou Samuelson and Gabby Williams, will determine the team's success this year.

Is there a list of how my parents could help me out of homelessness? Make her counseling a condition of her staying. If you want to help her, offer to pay for the therapy. You need to let her decide who she is without interference.
Knowing When to Help Adult Children
Do you want to show up there, have him move in with you, have him leach off you forever? In this case the dog is theirs so they need to take care of it. Tough love is a disciplined and strongly expressed boundary with the intent to promote responsible behavior and long-term change.

Wow, it's been a long time without an update here, huh? I have been working on writing, though! During a crazy few months (psst: I'm a married elf-girl now!), I've been jotting down ideas for my story. October was spent teaching myself tarot and doing research on things from seabirds to blindness (although in hindsight, I also needed to learn about horses, wagons, and boats too).
And November? Time for NaNoWriMo! I decided to try National Novel Writing Month for the first time ever and as of early on day 5, I'm at almost 7k words and am finally hitting some Plot. This is my longest writing challenge yet since Hidden Magic and The Acoylte's Map got me around 22k and 23k respectively over the course of about three months; now I'm trying for 50k in one month. Fingers crossed I can do that!
Since I'm an artist and need to always be making things with my hands (seriously, it's like some sort of a curse of constant activity), I decided that I wanted to make objects that are important to the characters in my story. This week I made the first: a green tarot bag like the one Clover, my halfling prophetess, carries. I finally figured out a title this week, too (yay! I stink at titles; previous stories had been "Meren's Story" and "Raff's Story" until they were finished and I bummed names off family and friends) so now that I had that and a tarot set similar to Clover's, I made a cover for my story yesterday:
Tarot plays an important roll so that was what I decided on for the cover. I may make a new one later, once I make the objects owned by all the protagonists, and have those with the tarot cards. (And there's a reason for the picked cards being a set of Knights; that wasn't picked arbitrarily!)
Here's a better view of the pouch. I'm so glad I had this shamrock fabric in my art supplies stash since it works great for someone named "Clover"!
This story is going to need a lot of editing once it's done (I've never written without obsessive amounts of editing at the same time before, but those are the rules!), but eventually I'll share it here. :)

This is probably my last Christmas-themed post until 2013. I've already shared my Christmas breakfast, my Christmas dinner, Christmas cookies I made as presents, and now finally I'm sharing one of the many cookies I made after a cookie baking extravaganza that ensued once I was officially on my break.
Now.. I actually baked a lot more cookies than just these shortbread cookies.. But I forgot to take a picture of them before they were gone. The only reason there were extra of these was because I made a second batch because the first batch disappeared in lightening speed. Of the cookies I made this season, these were my absolute favorite (tied closely to the Mocha Swirl Cookies I gave as presents this year.)
The first batch of these cookies was beautiful, more beautiful than these. My red was deeper because I had a better food coloring than my mom had in her house, and I used these white sparkly sprinkles on the first batch. Had my mom had that more crystal like type of sprinkle I would have used that instead of the jimmy style sprinkles. I thought they looked prettier and were less bulky on the cookie. I liked that the cookie wasn't overly sweet like many cookies that come at Christmas – but this is a shortbread and is more buttery than anything.
If I'm part of any cookie exchanges next year, this is the cookie I'll be sharing for sure.
Red Velvet Shortbread Cookies
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, cold and cut into chunks
1 tbsp red food coloring (or if you're using a gel food coloring, DO NOT use that much – use enough to make a deep red)
3 oz chocolate chips
1 1/2 tsp shortening
1. Preheat your oven to 325. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Process several times to combine well. Add the food coloring and butter, several chunks at a time and pulse until the mixture resembles crumbs. Continue to process until the mixture begins to clump together.
2. Remove the dough from the processor bowl and place it on a floured surface. Knead lightly until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter that is approximately 1 1/2-inches round, cut out the dough. Place the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place the dough scraps together and roll out again, continuing to cut as many cookies out of the dough as possible.
3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow to cool.
4. In a heavy sauce pan, melt the chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring consistently. Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate and then sprinkle the melted chocolate on the cookie with sprinkles. Let stand on waxed paper until dry.
* makes about 2 dozen cookies
* shared with Foodie Friday, Freedom Fridays, & Friday Food Frenzy

The Tax Incentives for Innovation Bill has just passed both Houses
05 May 2016
With recent media coverage dominated by the Federal Budget, the interest rate drop and Ted Cruz pulling out of the US election race you may have missed the passing of the Tax Laws Amendment (Tax Incentives for Innovation) Bill today.
This legislation is an exciting development for innovation in Australia and should definitely be on the radar for both innovative, early stage companies and investors alike. Outlined below is a short overview of what's now possible under this legislation.
The tax incentives introduced by this legislation are available to all types of investors (except widely held companies and their 100% subsidiaries), regardless of whether the investment is made directly as a corporation or individual, or indirectly through a trust or partnership (there is a 30% equity limit per investor and their affiliates). There is also no residency restrictions placed on the investing entities.
The tax incentives include:
Broadly a company will qualify as an ESIC if it's an unlisted company, less than 3 years old, with total expenses of less than $1 million and assessable income of less than $200,000. Companies up to six years old may also qualify, however they are subject to more onerous expenditure restrictions (see the Bill for further clarification).
The company needs to be 'engaged in innovation' which is established via a combination of tests. Firstly there is a principles-based test to measure that the business relating to that innovation:
As an alternative to satisfying this principles-based test, the legislation also introduces a '100 point innovation test' whereby the company has to accumulate points according to a table of objective innovation criteria.
Further, companies who do not wish to self-assess as to whether they are involved in 'innovation', may be able to seek a ruling as to whether they can satisfy the innovation requirements.
With the Bill only just passing through parliament and the tax incentives expected to apply from 1 July 2016, there are clear opportunities to be had on both sides of the equation – generous tax concessions for investors and the opportunity for early stage innovative companies to level the playing field and reduce the negative bias against businesses that take risks and innovate, making them a more attractive investment option.
A concise analysis of this legislation has been undertaken by BDO and can be found here.
Should you be interested in further information about the impacts of this new legislation as an investor or innovative start-up company please don't hesitate to contact me.

This is heartening. A Dutch kid with impeccable shitlord physiognomy trolled a news reporter in the field with the OK sign which, if you hadn't known, is now the internationally recognized symbol of not hating your White heritage. (According to CNN sources, the OK sign is three fingers for the letter 'W' and the thumb and forefinger in a circle to make the letter 'P', giving us "W"hite "P"ower. I shit you not, I first heard this explanation from CNN.)
Here's the story in Dutch, for anyone who'd like to translate for the rest.
The reader who sent the vid adds,
Not a single fuck given, except for the future of his people. Generation Zyklon will be a thing to behold.
And the Chateau will be there, center seat front row, when the Zyklon hits the fan. Pass the popcorn.
PS The beauty of these guerrilla tactics is that they leave the unnerving impression in the Leftoid Establishment that there are far more Woke Whitelords than polls or life in their lib insular bubbles reveal to them. Libs now walk around wondering if every second White Man they see is a secret believer in the cleansing power of DOTR.

Chronic headache is most often associated with drug abuse and medication overuse headache (MOH) is the main complication of migraine disease results in chronic daily headache. The first phase of treatment consists of drug withdrawal .
The second phase of treatment (called consolidation) is to maintain the balance: treating headaches and reducing / stopping the drug use.
The aim of this study is
- verify the feasibility of a home withdrawal treatment with normobaric oxygen therapy (NOT) delivery by high flow concentrator
- use normobaric oxygen therapy (NOT) as a therapeutic measure to treat headache through withdrawal period.
It is a feasibility pilot study in chronic headache with or without medication-overuse. All patients receive a care for outpatient withdrawal that involves sudden stop drug abuse and used to be called "traditional management". The subsequent attacks will be treated with NOT from a high-flow concentrator
Primary endpoint. Feasibility study of treatment with NOT evaluated by the percentage of patients who accepted NOT during the withdrawal phase then to treat attacks.
Secondary endpoints. Efficacy will be assessed by the percentage of patients having no chronic headaches two months after the start of withdrawal (less than 15 days of headache per month) and no longer in drug abuse (less than 10 days per month with drug intake).

Nissan Sentra is the car comfortable that 4 door sedan is, which meets in the auto industry companies in countries like Mexico in the states of Canton, Mississippi. In U.S. sales since 1982, is competing with such giants as Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus.
Just Nissan Sentra changed the economy car and get the car of the new format: the ride that still has 4 doors with the version of the car with two-door bodywork is proposed to infrequent. First Sentra, sold in 1982-1986, completely replaced old Datsun 210 and was the first car sold in the U.S. under the new label Nissan. Nissan first car assembled in the United States, but the Nissan complex meeting took place in Tennessee. The gearbox manual four-speed, gear and set themselves, and the superior version got 35 miles per gallon. Came as a 1986 model for the United States, and then continued surrendering in 1990.
3 Sentra were the model 1991 and held for 1995 years exemplary. Took the form of a vertical, in fact if the conditions of a decent interior space, and its weight and stopping the independent inconsequential provided a sportier look than the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. Third generation Sentra capture most enthusiastic supporters when he added a special role SE-R. Periodically, the newspaper 10 list, the SE-R from 140 horsepower vapors came to the body with two doors and settled intentionally driving the sport and added disc brakes and four-wheel differential overestimated friction as function list standard. The equipment lists the major integrated AM / DE radio and elevation of the window, the automatic belts used to hold a larger share of the modular data of years to please the seat of federal protection claims.
In its own fourth generation Sentra changed the course like Nissan tried to save prices. The interruption of the back radius of twist stopping modified carriage independently in advance and SE-86 in diluted form, the more solid and less flexible than before. SE-R then accepted \ "200SX \" label as Nissan calls the legacy of his own sport.
Fifth Sentra, sold during 2000 and 2006 increased more in the way of the future Sentra most of Altimaprogressed in class midsize sedan. Sentra leave the plant to plant sweet meeting in Mexico of modular configurations, and more. In the latest edition of the most significant sense and scarce; SE-R returned with the largest 4-cylinder engine and 2.5-liter V Speculation newspaper sued to crank out 175 horsepower with steam-6 manual. The updated edition in 2004 predicted a style to see if the new Maxima, with a large grid division.

Homeopathic Growth Hormone Height Increases Using HGH
I ordered your oral spray about a month ago and have I have been making the rounds emailing websites such as these. Can your product help achieve an increase of a few inches in my stature?
There is no product on planet earth that will help you grow taller.
21st Century Designer Health Products
That is. . . .besides the mighty HGH injections.
Maybe, with a capital M, and only if you are under 16 years old. And then, how do you know for sure?
21st Century Designer Health Products
You also forgot the cosmetic limb lengthening procedures that are available by surgeons now. Take a look at this psycho: http://www.geocities.com/heightinc/
This is a cosmetic surgery procedure. Thank you for answering my question honestly as to whether or not your oral spray can impact my stature. I'm 6'9'' and I simply wanted to gain 2 inches for the 7'0''. Whenever I get intimate with women and take my shoes off they always realize eventually that my shoes give me extra height. I have vast knowledge on the human growth hormone injections and as with everything else there is much speculation by critics and followers alike. Peace.
I'm 5'5"!
21st Century Designer Health Products
I am 23 years old and currently on a stretching and supplement program to try and squeeze maybe an inch or more taller before its too late. I am wondering if using this human growth hormone spray will help in aid in my growth of being slightly taller. My rigorous stretching and resting program doesn't say anything about taking growth hormone but it just makes sense. If the HGH makes you grow as part of what it does, why doesn't it say anywhere that it can also make you a tiny bit taller with many other factors pending of course. I have common sense on growing taller at an older age but i have done a lot of research on it.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know anything you can think of on this subject. Thank you and have a great day!
<<why doesn't it say anywhere that it can also make you a tiny bit taller>>
The FDA won't allow us to recommend the oral spray for anyone under 21 years old. Injectible HGH is used on many people under 18 for this purpose. How do you know if a patient had an increase in height that they normally wouldn't have had? Since we only recommend it for people over 21, homeopathic growth hormone height increases are not normally an issue. Since this homeopathic oral spray is so gentle on the system you have nothing to lose to try it. We have many body builders in their 20's and 30's using the product. Good Luck!

The NSSF board made the decision not to renew Ssali's contract following a detailed staff and corporate affairs report that concluded she was not suitable for the position
The deputy managing director of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), Geraldine Ssali Busuulwa, has been dropped from her docket by the finance minister, Matia Kasaija.
She has been replaced by Patrick Ayota.
Ssali's contract has not been renewed despite her writing to Kasaija expressing interest in its renewal.
In her October 16 letter to the finance minister, a copy of which New Vision has seen, the NSSF deputy manager, has also demanded for an independent process to be set up to appraise her performance during her three-year tenure at the fund so that she can get equitable treatment and fairness as she pleads for the renewal of her contract, which expires on October 29.
"I am writing to express interest in the renewal of my contract. Having not heard from you in writing, three months prior to the end of this month, I have decided to write and relay both my concerns and position on the matter," she noted, adding that the principles of natural justice demand that she gets a fair hearing before a decision not to renew her contract is taken by the minister.
"I have been compelled to write because I feel that I did not get an opportunity to be heard and explain the alleged grounds for refusal to renew my contract that is expiring in the next few weeks," she stated.
The NSSF board has recommended that Ssali's contract should not be renewed. The board made the decision following a detailed staff and corporate affairs (SACA) report that concluded she was not suitable for the position.

Is the colonial center of Lima worth seeing?
Many people arrive to Peru with the Andes in mind more than anything. Some may take the time to explore Lima which is something we highly recommend. Even if tourists stay in Lima it may just be for a night or near the airport. The colonial center of Lima is well worth the visit because it has centuries old and massive cultural treasures.
The most enjoyable things to explore in the colonial center are the following:
Plaza de Armas:
The hub of pedestrian life is this massive square wherein bands can be heard playing, families gather to celebrate culture, the multitude of Peru's various ethnic groups display pageantry and the pride of a powerful and diverse nation is showcased among majestic structures. It seems like the plaza never sleeps as there are always visitors, assemblies and activities going on.
Several beautiful Churches:
The most majestic beauty of old Lima is found in its places of worship. These temples are just ornate expressions of stone, gold and metalwork. Many charge a fee to enter but have had an amazing job of restoration complete with historic crypts, lifelike statues, gift shops, audio tours and treasuries. The Cathedral is the best followed by San Francisco and Santo Domingo.

Introduction: Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening( Stage II)
I started year-round indoor gardening early spring this year after I stumped upon and read Peter Burke's Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening: How to Grow Nutrient-Dense, Soil-Sprouted Greens in Less Than 10 days. In stage I, I followed exactly as written in the book and found out what works and what doesn't for me. In this Instructable titled stage II, I show two elements of the practice I do differently from Peter Burke and the whole process documented.
The first element I do differently is the container. Peter mentioned in his book aluminum bread loaf pans were his preferred containers and he could reuse them for up to a few times. This was not true for me. Mine started to leak at the end of the 4-day incubation period. In this Instructable I show how to modify plastic window box with tray bottom to suit the year-round indoor salad gardening.
The second element I do differently is the material used to keep the sprouts moistened, in dark and gently suppressed (Where there is suppression there is oppression which means a push to growth in plants). In Perter's book, he placed a stack of wet newspaper on top of the trays to keep the sprouts moistened during the 4 days of "do nothing" time. Although he mentioned that today's newspapers are printed with ink made from soybean oil, still it's ink and I'm not a fan of it touching my food. So I opted to use fabric scraps from my sewing projects. They are new, washed, and 100% cotton. I cut them to 0.5" larger in dimensions than the planter box and stitched 3 layers together. They worked out great. Not only I don't need to worry about eating ink, they are also reusable to almost unlimited times. And I have a lot such fabric scraps from my sewing projects. So this is a small but win win win situation for me.
So far I have been really enjoying this gardening practice and will continue to scale up the growing. This gardening practice isn't hard. What's hard is to mess this thing up.
With that said, here are things needed to repeat my stage II year-round indoor salad gardening:
1. Sprouting seeds, such as sunflower, buckwheat, peas and radish.
4. Potting mix
6. Sea Kelp
7. Cloth scraps
Common household tools such as a large spoon for scooping soil, a pair of garden scissors, and plastic or rubber gloves.
If you are new to soil sprouting indoor salad gardening and you don't have Peter's book in hand, Here are the detailed notes for some items: 1. The soil mix isn't the outdoor backyard soil, it's potting mix, usually made of peat moss, vermiculite, perlite and lime. 2. Compost can be commercial or homemade. I just don't like the idea of animal manure compost. So I used organic mushroom compost. 3. Liquid sea kelp or dry kelp meal are both okay as fertilizer. 4. There are many sprouting seeds to choose from. Peter recommended 5 varieties of sunflower, pea, radish, buckwheat, and broccoli for a salad of great color, texture and taste. My favorites are sunflower, buckwheat, peas and radish.
Followed are the steps.

Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Measure the Windowsill and Buy Plastic Window Box
My house has many windowsills of different width and the same depth of 7" for drop window or 6" if it has the turning handle for back and forth opening and closing mechanism. Buy plastic window box that will fit your windowsills and the key is to make sure they have the saucer or tray bottom to protect your windowsill from water damage.
Step 2: Modify the Plastic Box for Soil Sprouting Salad Gardening
Soil sprouting uses about 1.5" deep soil and needs a box about 2" deep. The Plastic box available is about 6" deep. In my first round using the plastic box, I used them as they are. As a result, I found I have patience for growing, no patience for reaching down a narrow box to harvest the produce. So I came up the idea of removing the top 4" of the box.
First I tried sawing which didn't work well.
Then I tried using high temperature electric stencil cutter. It worked. The only problem is the cutter is for cutting thin plastic stencil sheet. It took about 20 minutes to cut one box. While I was doing that, I had the idea of making wood box of 2" deep and sit them on plastic planter box tray. But I totally lack skills and tools in wood working department. The other factor to consider is the thickness of wood boards which make the growing space even narrower. So if you don't have a better idea of 2" deep windowsill box that has waterproof bottom, then follow the two simple steps to make your own.
First, mark 2" up from the box bottom all around.
Then, heat up the cutter and with a downward pressure cut all around along the mark.
That's all in it.
Step 3: Soak the Seeds and Moisten the Soil Overnight
How much seeds to soak depends on the box's growing area. In Peter's book, it's 1 tbsp for large seed or 1 tsp for small seed per 3" by 6" growing area. The way I do it is to loosely spread seeds at the bottom of the empty box since most seeds swell after soaking, measure the amount of it and record how much it is, record if that amount is just right, too much or too little and adjust the amount in later growing cycles.
To moisten the soil, add 4 cups of water per gallon bag of potting mix which is enough for 1 window box of 27" to 36" , close it for overnight.
Step 4: Plant the Seeds and Do Nothing for 4-6 Days
If you have a SUV and a tarp to protect the trunk or a garden work bench, it's better to do this step in the trunk at a standing position so you don't break your back. In the photos, I did it in my living room floor (at night) to be able to take pictures of the process.
In Peter's book, he added compost and sea kelp at the bottom of the box because fertilizers are for root, the better the root system is established, the better the shoots grow. But I always get too excited and forget to put them at the bottom, so I placed them on top and mixed a bit.
Fill the box with moistened soil up to 1.5"-1.75".
Crumble compost on top, 1tbsp of compost per 3" by 6" growing area. I just add 1-2 handful to 1 box.
Add in sea kelp, 1/2 tsp per 3" by 6" growing area. I just use the cap of the bottle and add 3 caps of it to 1 box.
Mix the mixture and spread them consistently to make a level bed for seeds.
Drain the water of soaked seeds, rinse it under room temperature water and consistently spread them on bed in single layer.
Gently press on the seeds to make sure they are in good contact with soil and moisture.
Wet the fabric cover in a bucket of gardening water, Completely cover the top of the box with the fabric cover (made of 3 layers of new, washed, 100% cotton fabric).
Place the box in the 4" open box removed from the top of each growing box, place a board on top, stack up the boxes, and keep them in room temperature for 4-6 days and "do nothing". I usually either keep them under my daughter's study desk or just under the window. Surprisingly it didn't attract my toddler to mess with it. The first time you might be tempted to peek during "do nothing" days. Soon I often totally forgot about them until I see yellow sprouts sticking out the sides of the boxes, then I know it's time to place them on windowsill.
Step 5: Greening Days on Windowsill
The work in this period is minimal too.
When the fabric cover was pushed up by the sprouts under or when the sprouts are about 1" tall, it's time to bring them out to light.
Different seeds sprout at different rate. In the first picture, radish is ready to see light but not the buckwheat and sunflower. So I just partially opened them to take a picture and kept them under cover for a couple of more days.
After removing the fabric cover, I usually hang them outside to be baked by sun so it doesn't get moldy. So far so good.
The second picture shows pea sprouts ready to see light (from earlier growing rounds when the box was used as it is, not modified).
Water the sprouts daily while it's on the windowsill until they are at the optimal state to harvest.
Step 6: Harvest
It's harvest time when the sprouts reach several to ten inches tall.
Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut them just above the soil.
They can be kept in zip lock bags in fridge and consumed within a week.
Step 7: Enjoy!
Wash the sprouts at least three times in plenty of water.
Use them in salad, add other vegetables and fruits for added color, flavor and nutrition, add chicken, hard boiled eggs or cheese for protein.
Top them on soups.
Or make a stir fry dish in a blink of eyes.
One ounce of sprouts in store sells for $2.99-$3.99. My family of four consumes 10-30 ounces per week. Didn't I grow them myself, we wouldn't be able to afford it.

The Singleton is a Design Pattern primarily designed to allow only one instance (one object) of a single class to be substantiated at any given time. The main reason one would want to do this is when it makes absolutely critical sense for there to be only one Object of a particular type in an application.
The Singleton Design Pattern is by far one of the most abused design patterns. Frequently, people who don't know better will use them in places where they seem to fit, only to later find out that their usage was totally inappropriate.
CHANGING A CLASS FROM A SINGLETON TO A REGULAR CLASS IS FAR HARDER THAN ONE WOULD THINK. Because of this, you must be absolutely sure that your application or library would NEVER POSSIBLY work at all or make any sense at all having multiple objects of the same class.
Examples of inappropriate Singleton classes include: * Transaction class - Sure you may think you're only ever going to have one transaction at a time, but what happens if you want to add support for multiple credit card transactions? Or split a gift card with a credit card? Screwed. That's what. * Database drivers - Only one database object/connection is great, right?? Just wait until your app needs to access another database, or you want to add replication. Ouch, now you have to rewrite your entire app!
The point of the examples is even though things may seemingly make sense to run isolation, they almost never work out that way in practice. Thus you have to be extremely careful and think "big picture" before you ever make a class a singleton. A good rule of thumb is to use the singleton ONLY when you want to guard against serious complications with two or more objects existing at the same time.
Examples of appropriate Singleton classes would include
- Factory classes. Generally there is never a need and many times a valid risk to having multiple objects for your factories. Thus, these are almost always best as singletons or complete static classes.
- Payment gateways: While you might want multiple transactions, you probably don't want Hosea's card to be charged twice, accidentally, by two inappropriately-created payment gateway interfaces, and the chances of needing to use two different payment gateways, simultaneously, are in fact quite rare.
- Exchanges or anything needing Transactional Integrity: Related to payment gateways, any object that should not have competitors in order to guarantee consistency may also be a candidate for a singleton.
Anatomy of a Singleton
class Singleton { // All Singleton classes must have a private instance variable to hold the only // object that will exist. It has to be static. private static $instance; // All Singleton classes will have private constructors to prohibit willy-nilly creation of // objects. private function __construct() { // It is very important to make this private. } // The main way to access singletons is via a getInstance public function. // This is commonly abbreviated as getI() public static function getInstance() { // 1. Determine if the object doesn't exist. if (is_null($this->instance)) { // 2. Create and set the instance. $this->instance = new Singleton; } // 3. You are now guaranteed to have a Singleton object. Return it. return $this->instance; } }

Sprung upon thou reels by Red Tiger Gaming, Lucky Easter is a slot with the theme of - well it's in the name - Easter!

While thou are sat in thou toastie chambers eagerly waiting Easter, why not try slots such as Hot Cross Bunnies: Loadsabunny, or the cutesy, plush Fluffy Favourites saga to get thouself in the mood for the hopping festivities?
About Lucky Easter Slot
The mechanics of the Lucky Easter slot can be easily cracked by our jousters, meaning they will understand the gameplay quite quickly, whether they're new to online slots or slot experts. This is due to the usual slot layout of 5 reels and 20 win lines, quite similar to Da Vinci Diamonds. Loaded with cracking possibilities, this slot is bursting with a multitude of EGG-cellent bonuses: Mega Wild Chick, Wild Chicks, Easter Reels, Easter Egg Hunt, Free Spins and Basket Multiplier. That is not all Castle Jackpot yolks, thou will potentially witness Wild Chicks hatching on random reels, multipliers and buns, cakes, carrots, eggs full of sweets and a garland full of carrot symbols. Begin thou hop along the reels from 20p to £500 per spin to be in the chance for the Easter Egg Hunt to land thou 800 times the stake value!
Lucky Easter slot is composed of astounding graphics of a tree-lined garden, getting jousters ready for the hunt for the cash makes up the background of this online slot, which compliments the dainty visuals of the transparent reels, allowing Castle Jackpot jousters to take in the view of the green emerald garden. The Lucky Easter slot is joustable in portrait mode making it a cracking duel for mobile and tablet alongside desktop screens. Being an EGG-hasutingly slot full of features and symbols makes this online slot a swell encounter as jousters will always have something new for them waiting with every spin. The lower paying symbols of A, K, Q, J and 10 in the Lucky Easter slot, still award Castle Jackpot jousters up to 50 coins for 5 on a win line! Which is nothing to complain about, however, jousters lets not stop there when there are even heftier symbols up for grabs these being the cracked hen, lucky easter garland, sweet egg, carrot, carrot cake and bunny cupcakes with winnings up to 400 coins for 5 on a payline!
Best Features of Lucky Easter Slot
This slot is basically bursting with egg-tastic features, but we have narrowed it down to our personal top 3 favourites for Castle Jackpot yolks. Let's begin with a feature that is quite common in online slots, and even has slots such Rainbow Riches: Free Spins named after it - the Free Spins feature! In order for Castle Jackpot jousters to crack open the Free Spins feature, they must land 3 of the Free Spin symbols at any place on the reels on a singular spin and thou will have hatched the free spins rounds. However, what makes this feature a little unique to the Lucky Easter slot and what we do love here at Castle Jackpot is the fact that the jouster is in charge of how many free spins they will be awarded! Yes! Thou heard that right, thou will select the number of free spins that will take place in the feature by picking an egg that will reveal the special number, with p to 16 free spins available! What's not to love about this feature of the Lucky Easter slot?
What is Easter without a little Easter egg hunt? And that is why, jousters, the second feature of this online slot we truly enjoyed was the Easter Egg Hunt feature! Now to activate this feature of the Lucky Easter slot, jousters must have 3 Easter Egg Bonus symbols to land this path leading to potential egg-citing prizes! When thou work thou way around the yolks and clues of the Easter Egg Hunt feature thou could possibly end up with the big bucks prize of 800 times thou stake! However, the smaller prizes in this feature are nothing to joke about either! With the smallest prize being 300 times the stake, it would be wrong not to state that this feature is one cracking element of the Lucky Easter slot.
Our third and final favourite feature of the Lucky Easter slot here at Castle Jackpot would be the Basket Multiplier Feature. The real question here is jousters, how many prizes can thou fit in thou basket? When thou have a white bunny hopping on thou reels this will randomly activate this feature of the online casino game. The reason the Basket Multiplier made it onto our list of favourite features is the fact that the Easter Bunny brings to the jousters of Castle Jackpot a basket full of goodies and plonks them onto the reels and during this process, it offers multipliers that can produce payouts of up to 20x the stake!
That is all Castle Jackpot royal yolks and these are all our favourite features of this festive online slot, we recommend our jousters try out the Lucky Easter slot for themselves and let us know what their favourite features are in this online slot on our twitter @CastleJackpot!

This is Gus. We first met when he was one of nine in a pile of 8-week-old puppies. I was smitten: dog-love at first sight. I knew that I had found My Dog (or rather, that he had found me). This 15 lbs of belly and wiggly tail and giant head and ears and who knew how large the rest of the animal would get…this was My Animal. It was clear that I was His Human.
I spent two weeks reading articles and researching the breed. The articles always had caveats and cautionary tales about German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs). Yet, the reasons not to get a GSP were all the reasons I couldn't resist:
GSPs need loads of training: They are smart, eager to learn and loyal. They are working dogs and always want to please. Give them a task and they will Get it! Find it! Look!
GSPs need to be active: See. Spot. Run. (And run and run and run.)
GSPs are prone to separation anxiety. These are "Velcro-dogs" that select their human and stick close. Keep them active (read: tired) and entertained (and well-trained), and they do just fine. Allow them to sit by you (All. The. Time.), watch you work, accompany you anywhere and everywhere possible. They need to know you like them (not so different from humans, n'est-ce pas?).
What the articles fail to elaborate on is that these dogs are the funniest, sweetest, humblest 75-lb lap dogs you will ever meet. Every GSP I have met has had virtually the same personality. And, so, 12 years on, I realize our short time together is fleeting. This ridiculous and wonderful, smelly and soft mélange of fur and fun and farts and dog spit has made me a better human.

And to celebrate these amazing years with my best dog ever, on January 1st of this year I embarked (pun intended) on a mission to take a photo of Gus each day and share it on Instagram. InstaGus is a celebration of this animal who has stood by my side (on my butt, on my lap, on my foot, all this!) through some trying times these last few years.
It is a testament to the times he makes me laugh when everything around me is going to crap. It is a tribute to the art of not taking everything to heart; to the practice of focusing on what's important; to the daily rituals that get us out of our ruts and out of our heads and out into the world on miles and miles of walks or into the woods, where I let him choose the trails sometimes.
Gus isn't as quick as he used to be (he's 84+ in human years, has had two blown ACLs and thousands of trail miles under his belt, erm, collar…), but the G-dog still holds his own.
My photo series has been an outlet for random dog wisdom, world views, canine logic and a way to better appreciate the little things through the eyes of this silly beast. We're at the half-way mark on this Year of Gus, and I think it's been a success thus far. We've met many new insta-dogs from around the world and we've had great fun on our daily photo shoots.
Related: 17 Of The Cutest Dog Friendships On Instagram
Here's what I've noticed along the way: we humans over-complicate the world. Dogs don't care about who's running for president or where someone's from, what color, faith, or gender someone lives their life. What's important is the little things: Is this a good human? Are they kind? Do they share and love and respect and laugh and play fair? Do they have any treats? Might they give us a little scratch between the eyes or behind the ears? Would they mind if we curl up next to them under the covers, even on warm nights, just to know that home is somewhere safe and warm?
I think dogs have rather got it all figured out, haven't they?
Lesli Woodruff is a yogi, writer, photographer, and traveler. She works as an Instructional Designer to support Gus' extravagant lifestyle. She's written previously about what's she's learned from Gus, and has also shared some her favorite musings from her Year of Gus on Medium.
