"When it comes to the internet, nothing is safe".
Sometimes you have to disconnect to stay connected. To empty your thoughts and reveal the bigger picture. Sometimes you have to do some physical exploring - open your eyes to discover the beauty that is found in unexpected places. We are somewhat controlled by the technical devices that feed us with information every day, a constant replacement of our social interactions. We make our daily commute to work, avoiding eye contact with the people that take a seat next to us on the train. The importance of disconnecting ourselves and taking the time for solitude. These are things that Charlie Wright, a talented young actor in LA, is fully aware of.
A boy born into the entertainment industry, with art embedded into his DNA, is beautifully photographed by Dani Brubaker for Boys by Girls' Autumn Winter 2015 issue "Growing Sideways" Charlie is captured in a flexible stance as the fluidity in his movement reflects his acting talents. Aside from acting and modelling, Charlie speaks about his love for archaeology, his friends and his family in his Issue 9 interview, as well as his thoughts on the influence of Social Media in the current generation.

This week Bank Nifty spot went up 111 points and went down 595 points over last weeks close and finally ended the week with a loss of 498 points compared to last weekly closing .
As per levels given for the previous week Bank Nifty Spot needed to break and sustain above 19759 to confirm uptrend and Bank Nifty spot needed to break and sustain below 19353 to confirm downtrend for the week. Bank Nifty made a high of 19666.80 and a low of 18961.15 .
This week Bank Nifty triggered our short trade and completed 4 targets giving around 350 points from the short trade . Had mentioned in the weekly post 7 weeks ago too that 'Bank Nifty has some support near 20080 levels which is also our trend continuation level for September month and once it breaks and sustains below the level it will indicate weakness in the current upmove ' . Also had mentioned ' Incase of a break of 19050 level Bank Nifty has a small support near 18885 - 18835 levels' . We had seen Bank Nifty make a low of 18824.40 in the month of October and though Nifty has made a new low by 100 points compared to its lows of October , Bank Nifty is yet to break its lows of October and has been mildly outperforming the Nifty . Had mentioned in the weekly post 3 weeks ago that 'We have seen a correction now of nearly 1200+ points from our caution level of 20080 given 6 weeks ago'. Bank Nifty has so far corrected 245 points after closing / sustaining below our downtrend continuation level of 19207 for November compared to Nifty which was corrected 161 points after closing / sustaining below our downtrend continuation level of 8561 for November . Now Bank Nifty has immediate support at 18805 - 18505 and breaking and closing below it we can test upto 18185 levels on the downside . The current downmove appears to be saturating now and will continue only if Bank Nifty gives a consecutive close below 18505 . Also we have the US presidential election results on 09th November which can be the trigger for the further move ahead.
For the month of November we can expect uptrend in Bank Nifty Spot on a consecutive close above 19840 and downtrend continuation would be on a consecutive close below 19207 .
In the coming week Bank Nifty spot needs to break and sustain above 19181 to confirm uptrend and then one can expect a move till 19311 initially and breaking and sustaining above 19343 will give further confirmation of the next move which can take us till 19578 . Similarly Bank Nity spot needs to break and sustain below 18935 to confirm downtrend and then one can expect a move till 18806 initially and breaking and sustaining below 18773 will give further confirmation of the next move which can take us down till 18538 .
Bank Nifty Spot Levels for the week are
Long above 19134 , Tgt 19181 - 19219 - 19257
IF Bank Nifty spot manages to get a close / sustain above 19311 then
long again for 19343 - 19455 - 19578
Short below 18982 , Tgt 18935 - 18898 - 18860
IF Bank Nifty spot manages to get a close / sustain below 18806 then
short again for 18773 - 18661 - 18538
P.S. Always wait for the yellow highlighted levels to be crossed after taking a long/short position for confirmation of the trade . Once the highlighted levels are crossed and the next target is achieved move your Stoploss to the highlighted levels .

The Big Island of Hawaii's beauty is legendary and it has the most diverse landscape on earth-but it can be as challenging to explore as it is charming. From the icy heights of snow-covered volcanoes, to steamy jungles and tropical beaches, to flowing fields of lava, flower choked canyons and wide-open tropical grassland, its scenery is unsurpassed. By and large the quality of your trip to the Big Island will depend on how much of it you choose to see and how you set about discovering your own Big Island adventures. Below are some ideas on the options for getting to Hawaii and for getting around Hawaii, once you are here.
Another key to the quality of your time on the Big Island has to do with the spirit of aloha. The people you meet in Hawaii, by and large, tend to be more open and friendly-quick to help or befriend-than elsewhere. This is the tradition of "Aloha". When you meet local residents, whether to ask for directions and advice or to hire services or just in casual conversation, treat them with respect, humor and openness-return their spirit of aloha and you will find your journey, and yourself, deeply enriched for it.
In Hawaii, your smile is your passport.
Getting To Hawaii
The standing joke among residents of Hawaii when dealing with the time, inconvenience and hassle of traveling to the mainland is: "This used to be so much easier before the bridge blew down"! Of course, there never was a bridge spanning the roughly 2500 miles between the Big Island and mainland USA, but the humor tends to underline the commitment, planning and time it takes to travel to and from Hawaii.
Flying to Hawaii: Certainly the most common, quickest and least expensive (note I didn't say "inexpensive") way to get to Hawaii is to fly. Many major US and international carriers fly to Honolulu on Oahu and and a host of local and international carriers offer flights from there to all the other Hawaiian Islands, including the Big Island. Kona's airport is the only one on the Big Island that has direct flight connections to the US Mainland, Canada, Japan and Australia. Despite styling itself as "Hilo International Airport", flights to and from Hilo ONLY connect to other Hawaiian islands.
Although both airports have similar facilities and services, including onsite rental car agencies and access to public transportation, shuttles and taxis, it makes a big difference to the traveller where they land. By far the vast majority of visitors to the Big Island stay in either Kona or the Kohala Resorts which are all on the west side of the island and are between 20 to 45 minutes from the Kona airport. If you are staying in Hilo, it's fine to fly in there; however, Hilo doesn't have the resort facilities, fine beaches and great weather of the Kona side and few tourists opt to stay there anymore. Many people booked into resorts on the west side mistakenly take flights into Hilo, due to the misleading airport name, unaware (or even misinformed by ignorant but well-meaning travel agents) that they now, at the end of an exhausting day of travel and in the fading twilight of the early tropical sunset, face a drive of almost 3 hours, across high mountains and on narrow, winding, unfamiliar roads to get to their resort. They just better hope it doesn't start raining, too.
So-know where you are staying, fly into the appropriate airport.
Whether you are flying directly into Kona or flying to Honolulu and getting a connecting flight into Kona or Hilo, you want to be sure to reserve a seat so that you see as much of the incredible scenery as you can. Since 90% of the flight is over open ocean (which just isn't as riveting as one might expect) you want to wring the most enjoyment out of those portions of your flight which do feature scenery. If you are first stopping in Honolulu, sitting on the port (left) side of the aircraft for this leg of your trip affords the best views as the plane screams in past Koko Head and over the top of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, turns around directly over Pearl Harbor and settles in to land at Honolulu International Airport. Sitting on the starboard side is not as spectacular, however, it offers views of Moloka'i and Maui islands, as well as views of Pearl Harbor, the Wai'anae and Ko'olau Mountains of O'ahu and downtown Honolulu just before landing.
Flying into Hilo from O'ahu, one also wants to sit on the port side of the aircraft. The flight path crosses over the islands of Moloka'i and Maui, skims along the eastern margin of Hawaii Island presenting a rich, fascinating panoply of soaring sea cliffs, jungle canyons and volcanic mountains, jaw-dropping waterfalls and crashing surf along the coast. Flying into Kona either directly or from Honolulu is no less wonderfully scenic than flying into Hilo, but one wants to be on the starboard side. This offers the traveller great views of the islands of Maui, Molokini, Lana'i and Kaho'olawe, as well as incredible views of the Big Island, Kohala Mountain, Mauna Kea, Hualalai and, on clear days, Mauna Loa as the jet cruises in over the Kohala Coast, making land right over Makalwena Beach and on to Kona International Airport at Keahole.
Cruise Ships and Cargo Ships: There are several cruise ship lines which ply the waters of the Hawaiian Archipelago, however of the ones that service the Big Island, most require passengers to book for an entire cruise, meaning that although you may make one or two stops on Hawaii, you will only remain in port for a day, overnight at most, before sailing on. Generally, you cannot arrive on one ship, disembark for a stay, and catch another ship out.
Of increasing popularity, however, is cruising to Hawaii on cargo ships-cheaper than a cruise line and with a completely open and adjustable itinerary, this is a great alternative to flying. It is both more expensive and more time consuming (average sailing is 3 days from Los Angeles to Honolulu, and times are variable for getting from there to the Big Island) than flying, but it is restful, peaceful and unique. Cargo ships offer spacious passenger cabins and, while not the floating feed-lots that cruise ships tend to resemble, the food on cargo ships is wonderful and plentiful. Perhaps the biggest drawback of riding cargo ships to the Big Island is that on the east side they dock in, let us say, the less desirable part of Hilo; on the west they dock at Kawaihae, halfway between Kailua Kona and the resorts of the Kohala coast-in other words, out in the middle of nowhere. Both land many miles from resorts and car rental agencies. However, both docking facilities are serviced by taxis and public transportation; if you plan ahead, it should present no problem.
Getting Around Hawaii
Shuttles/Taxis/Limos/Tours: Taxis, of course, service both Big Island airports, the metropolitan regions and all the resorts. The taxis, while not cheap, are not as usurious as one might fear and the drivers generally are knowledgeable, friendly, HONEST and genuinely nice-it's that whole aloha thing. Taxi drivers are happy to answer your questions, even the silly ones you are kind of shy to ask; they will freely give advice about what to do and see and where to eat and generally try to be as helpful as possible. However, many speak in pidgin English that can be nearly impenetrable to the newcomers' ear. Don't be shy about respectfully asking him to repeat himself, and again if necessary-he hears that on nearly every fare he carries. Ask him to write down place names, restaurant names and such-many Hawaiian words do not look at all like they way he's saying them and you'll want to be able to read the words on maps and signs, or be able to ask another person, later.
Both Kona and Hilo airports are serviced by point-to-point shuttles and limos, whose prices are actually quite reasonable and certainly less expensive than the taxis. The drawback here is that there will be many people aboard going to many diverse destinations-so it takes a bit longer than a taxi.
Many of the larger resorts offer a free limo service to and from the airport and some will even arrange to have your rental car waiting for you on-property when you arrive from the airport…check when you make reservations. If available, this is the least personable, but quickest, easiest and least expensive way to get to your lodgings.
Some boutique tours offered by Hostels and the smaller tour companies will also pick you up at the airport at the beginning of their tours, if your arrival time is convenient to the tour schedule; thus, the cost of getting to your resort is absorbed into the cost of the tour. This option is worth looking into if you are not planning to rent a car during your stay.
Tipping tour, taxi, limo and shuttle drivers is not only encouraged, it's their main source of revenue. Remember to return the aloha they showed you.
Rental Cars and Driving Tips: Although some people opt to not rent cars during their stay, relying on tours and public transportation to get around, you should bear in mind that there is a reason they call it "The Big Island". Distances between attractions can be long, public transportation schedules are not always convenient and, face it, it's just a lot freer, easier and more independent to have your own wheels. Be sure to thoroughly research the online booking agencies before you arrive-ofttimes great deals bundling airfare, room and car rental can be found, especially in the slack seasons.
There are two types of car rental agencies on the Big Island. The major, international car rental agencies are available on property at both airports, giving the visitor a wide selection of corporate deals and specials-particularly flight-room-car combo deals–as well as a diverse palate of available cars. The other option, frequently much less expensive particularly for long term rentals, are the off-property rental agencies. These folks won't generally pick you up at the airport so you must make your way to their in-town offices, but the selection of vehicles, and rates, are generally wider ranged.
If you are under 21, the rental companies won't rent to you. If you are between 21 and 24, they may add a surcharge to the rental that can be as much as twenty-five dollars a day on top of the regular daily fee.
The first question the traveller must answer for themselves is what kind of vehicle they will want while on the Big Island. Some rental agencies specialize in luxury and exotic cars–Mercedes, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce and such. Others offer Volkswagen Campers and RVs. Many people arrive and decide they want to flash around the island in a Mustang or Camaro convertible-which are great and fun, but they offer no security for your personal items and they severely limit the kinds of roads you can drive on, in addition to almost guaranteeing sun and wind burn. If you are coming to explore the island, you should consider going to the extra expense of renting a four-wheel drive vehicle-either a jeep or an enclosed SUV. Much of the mountain country and many of the more interesting beaches and canyons require four wheel drive. I suggest an enclosed SUV so you do not have to shout to be heard, as you do in a jeep, and have some more protection from the elements and from thieves.
Briefly mentioned above, RVs and Volkswagen Campers are excellent ways to see the island and obviate the need for an expensive hotel. However, RVs are not common on Hawaii and there are no RV parks as such; outside of the towns of Hilo and Kona there is nowhere to drain the waste tanks, so you have to be sure to use public facilities as much as possible. But you can park and camp free virtually anywhere, although most campgrounds will charge a camping fee for an RV, even if you are camping in the parking lot.
Motorcycles and scooters can be rented in both Kona and Hilo and are a fun way to see the island, until it rains. Which happens. It is also difficult to travel with any amount of luggage on a motorcycle. You will notice a burgeoning fraction of the local population zipping about town on scooters (locally, and incorrectly, referred to as "mopeds"). For bikes with engine sizes smaller than 50cc, no motorcycle license and no insurance are necessary. The "moped" class vehicle has the same license and road regulations as a bicycle, so it is not surprising to see them zip along the the roadside, passing cars stuck in traffic, or pop up and run down the sidewalk. If you rent a moped in Hawaii, please don't drive them the way the locals do; it just isn't safe. I use a moped almost exclusively to get around Kailua Town where I live-do not ride your scooter the way you see me ride mine.
The cost of gas in Hawaii is even worse than you've been led to believe, so when selecting a rental car, bear this in mind. Costco in Kona has the absolute cheapest gas on the island (and it's handy, near the airport); the gas station off the Akoni Pule Highway in Kohala near mile marker 76 has the cheapest gas in Kohala and the Chevron Station at the Airport turn-off in Hilo has the cheapest gas in East Hawaii. Remember that the Big Island is largely rural-gas stations, particularly in the far north and on the south side of the Island, may not keep regular hours or even stick with their posted schedule-especially if the surf is up or the fishing is good. In general, outside of the urban areas of Kona and Hilo, gas is hard to find after about 6 in the evening. I personally don't ever let my gas tank get more than half empty, ever, just for this very reason. Certainly, you should never let it get more than half empty when on the south side of the Island; you should make a point to fill up before late afternoon when you have the chance, definitely before you go into Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (you'll stay longer and use more gas than you planned because, trust me, it's the coolest place, ever) and before crossing the Saddle Road.
Driving times between attractions on the Big Island are longer than you might expect, given the actual mileage between points of interest. This is in part because much of the "highway" system is composed of winding, narrow, two-lane blacktop with a speed limit of 35 miles an hour. Another reason drives take longer than expected is because you are going to want to pull over and look, stop and explore, take your time and enjoy. As the bumper sticker says: "Slow down, Brah-dis ain't da mainland!" On this note, many local residents will pass on hills and blind corners, even into oncoming traffic; they know the road, you don't-don't follow their lead. Trying to drive like the locals drive is like jumping into the ocean and trying to surf like they surf-it just isn't a really bright idea. Local custom is to eschew use of turn signals and horn; this is another custom you shouldn't emulate.
The police on the Big Island are well-trained, serious professionals. However, most cruise around in their personal cars (with a blue light on top) and can be very hard to spot (a Ford Mustang or Toyota Rav4 with a light bar? It happens…). They are particularly serious about drunk drivers, speed limits and child restraints/seal belts. Aloha, respect and honesty go a long way toward making any interactions with the Hawaii County Police more pleasant. This isn't Louisiana or some Third World banana republic-do not even think of offering a bribe if you are stopped by a Hawaii County Police Officer. On the topic of police, it is local custom to flash your brights at on-coming traffic if there is a cop behind you. Participate in this at your own discretion, but this is the reason all those people are flashing at you.
There are feral goats and sheep (feral donkeys along the highway in Kohala!), wild pigs, feral cats and dogs that present driving hazards, especially at night. Fruit such as mango, avocado and guava frequently fall, en masse, into the road and produce a slimy hazard, particularly to motorcycles. In town, watch for cyclists, pedestrians and skateboarders (check out those guys skateboarding to the beach with their surfboards under their arms!). Kailua Kona is the proud home to the Iron Man World Championship Triathlon and many runners and cyclists fully utilize, and rigorously defend, their rights of way; smile, wave and yield, OK? You came to have fun: relax. The Big Island is also Big Sky country…driving east into the sunrise or west into the sunset is painful and hazardous; try to plan your day to avoid this.

The Singapore stock market defied the regional sell-off yesterday, steering a path that stayed clear of dour sentiment led by China.
The benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) climbed 17.13 points, or 0.65 per cent, to 2,666.51, following a shaky session.
Equities elsewhere in Asia took a hit. Shanghai dived 2.9 per cent to its lowest in a month, after narrowing losses from as much as 4.6 per cent during the session, while Hong Kong dropped 1.3 per cent.
Tokyo slipped 1 per cent, Seoul dipped 0.2 per cent and Sydney was flat with a tiny 0.02 per cent increase.
"There was little coming out of the G-20 to suggest major improvements in the policy mix of the most systemically important countries," Mr Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic adviser at Allianz, wrote in a Bloomberg View column yesterday.
The two-day Group of 20 meetings in Shanghai had concluded over the weekend without specific measures to boost growth.
"With little hope for major policy changes, global economic growth will continue to struggle, the trifecta of national inequality (of income, wealth and opportunity) will worsen, and financial volatility will increase."
The lacklustre sentiment mirrored that on Wall Street, which slid 0.3 per cent last Friday on worries that interest rates may rise sooner than expected.
At home, the gains came largely on the back of a jump in Jardine Matheson Holdings, which rose US$1.72, or 3 per cent, to US$58.22. The stock has been included in the MSCI Hong Kong Index starting today.
Aerospace and defence conglomerate Singapore Technologies Engineering went up 14 cents, or 4.9 per cent, to $2.99, despite posting weaker results for the full year to Dec 31 last Friday.
CIMB Research analyst Lim Siew Khee in a report yesterday upgraded her call on the stock from "hold" to "add", noting its valuation is "starting to look attractive".
Real estate plays also did well, with CapitaLand Mall Trust adding three cents, or 1.4 per cent, to $2.19, and CapitaLand advancing four cents, or 1.4 per cent, to $2.98. Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust (Reit) gained two cents, or 0.8 per cent, to $2.42.
Leading losses on the other side of the ledger was commodities trader Noble Group, which sank one cent, or 2.8 per cent, to 34.5 cents.
This followed news that Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has cut its long-term corporate credit rating on the company from "BB+" to "BB-", with a negative outlook.
Ezra Holdings was the day's most active, with 188.7 million shares changing hands. The stock rose 0.3 cent, or 4.9 per cent, to 6.4 cents.
A total of 1.51 billion shares worth $2.62 billion were traded across the bourse.

Internet dating as well as Reducing the very first Day Tension
Regrettably, with regard to a large number of singles who're within the relationship globe tend to be sensation which relationship is actually simply a higher demanding occasion and therefore are wondering the reason why must i carry on? I believe everybody may at least concur which relationship is actually complex and may improve your own tension amounts looking for an effective long-term romantic relationship however at the conclusion from the day time you have to stay centered on your own associations objectives as well as keep the ideas good.
You should maintain points within viewpoint regarding your own very first day that it's not really your own final opportunity from discovering your own complement basically help remind your self that there's absolutely no accurate contract in order to choosing the best individual for you personally and when this particular very first day calculates after that good and when it doesn't after that possess the mindset you are going to move ahead. Often solitary people find it difficult to maintain centered on their own objectives plus they allow in order to a lot trip upon that certain solitary evening with this very first day and therefore are not really taking a look at the entire large image which leads to singles to show the very first day in to stress setting that is completely unneeded!
3. Maintain absolutely no regrets- Do not rue that you simply continued the actual day but instead maintain getting excited about long term romantic relationship possibilities. You won't ever understand, the next day may be the complement a person getting already been searching for. If you do not carry on relationship, you may never discover your own ideal complement. Best of luck as well as Pleased Internet dating to any or all Singles!

NYC photographer Dustin Wayne Harris currently has a show up at Heist gallery entitled, 'Cake Mixx'. Harris' art concept uses the practice of cake decorating (the foremost interest of CAKES! CAKES! CAKES!) as a means of evaluation for romantic relationships.
Harris says:
"A few years ago, my girlfriend at the time insisted upon baking me a cake for my birthday. I begged her not to, but she (and the cake) arrived at my house wrapped in Saran Wrap, a little worse for wear. Since I had no intention of eating it, I did the next best thing: I took a picture of it. The relationship eventually sagged – like the cake. But I learned something valuable. Whereas some people consult astrologers, read Tarot cards, or tea leafs to predict the future, cakes tell it all.
The process is simple. After a first date with someone, I ask her to bake me a cake. I give no direction, but the way the cake looks never fails to become a metaphor for the relationship. Take Chloe for example (see below): You can see from her first cake, the relationship had great promise. The second cake tells you that it ended badly.
I am convinced I have stumbled on a valuable tool in the arsenal of psychoanalysis: cake reading."
Personally, I think life's a bit more fun if you mix it up with Chinese zodiac (those restaurant paper place mats), a little bit of dream analysis... and now, I'm gonna make my boyfriend bake me a cake!
I love Harris' photo series. Check it out.

You've heard of bands using two vocalists – one for cleans and the other for growls – but have you seen one with two growlers before? Desolate Shrine is rather unique in that it utilises a single instrumentalist and two vocalists to create utter chaos and destruction. The Heart of the Netherworld is the Finnish trio's third full length release, and the band shows how far they have come in their 5 years of existence, showing tremendous growth even comparing to their 2012 sophomore, The Sanctum of Human Darkness.

About 43.5 million U.S. households own at least one dog, and more and more dog owners are lavishing pets with amenities like nail-polish "pawdicures" and banana biscotti—pampering that takes a serious bite out of the bank account. Consider three classes of dogs and what their varying lifestyles cost in the Chicago area.

Wherein differs a building, planned holistically, from a conventional one?
Basically, the higher goal of the former should be to confer health and contentment on the physical, mental and emotional levels to the building's residents. But how can a building exert effects on the mental level? Here we require a relevant concept regarding the laws of nature and the right measures to restore a natural equilibrium.
When a building, being in harmony with nature, creates harmony and well-being for the inhabitants, then its architecture could be, in my view, described as holistic.
As far as I can see, such holistic architecture rests on four pillars: geomancy, vastu (or feng shui), modern architectural concepts, and building biology. Building biology and modern architecture can be likened to the "hardware" of holistic architecture and give the material frame to the building, whereas geomancy and vastu represent the actual "software", giving meaning and purpose to the building.
At present, modern architecture and building biology are constantly developing, especially in the areas of technical equipment, new materials, home comfort and use of forms.
Beyond modern developments in architecture a rich cross-cultural treasure of experiences exists in the history of architecture regarding harmonic laws, also about subtle laws of nature within geomancy and Vastu, including how these can be integrated in and around buildings at a given location.
When modern architectural knowledge is combined with pertinent experience and wisdom from various cultures, then it is possible to implement a truly holistic architecture. The motto then is: The best from the past and the best from the presence. Hence my involvement in the following four disciplines:
Modern architecture
The big plus point of modern architecture is the high standard of technical possibilities, particularly for the construction process and equipping of a building. Also in developing ground plan and functionality of a building, modern architecture has high quality standards.
Building biology
Building biology is concerned with the attributes of materials used in the building. With the help of building biology wholesome ways of constructing and healthy materials can be selected, the living climate can be optimized, the technical fittings can be selected meaningfully and installed, environmental toxins and negative influences from nature and civilization can be limited.
The research and the body of knowledge of building biology deal with the categories health, well-being, comfort, efficiency, ecology, climate, environmental influences etc. Thus building biology contributes a great deal to the well-being and health of inhabitants living inside such buildings.
Geomancy deals with the subtle inter-relations within nature and evolved from the pool of experience of past western culture as well as from modern amplifications revealed by modern research. The knowledge of geomancy assists especially in evaluating a building site's "quality", and in developing functional forms in ground plan and building. Moreover it is of great value for open space design and urban development.
The teaching of vastu originates in the Indian culture, and in the past millennia it has – hardly known today – widely influenced western architecture. Through vastu the overall quality of the location can be validated, an optimal place on the premises for a building can be found, and the shape of the building and the arrangement of utility areas can be conceptualized.
The planning for open spaces is equally facilitated by vastu. Moreover it offers clear holistic planning principles for urban architecture.
Planing of new buildings and building conversions:
When a client wants to implement a construction project that is to be holistic and in touch with nature, I can offer the development of a project on the basis of geomancy, vastu and building biology, together with my experience as architect, to achieve the client's goal.
Expert advice during the planning phase:
When the client has planned already a house, I can offer to review the plans under the principles of geomancy, vastu and building biology. Usually, additional significant aspects for the architectural concept and the general well-being of the future inhabitants can be integrated: e. g. arranging the utility areas according to the vastu of cardinal directions, improving the room outlines with harmonic proportions, optimizing the entire electric cabling in view of electro-smog. Apart from that I advise in choosing healthy building materials, and much more. The plans may be analyzed also via email, and a field visit is not always necessary.
Services and costs:
■ All architect services before and during construction of new buildings and renovation of older ones
■ Landscape architecture
■ Urban planning
■ Expert counsel for building projects, based on building biology, geomancy and vastu
■ Remuneration for architect services according HOAI
■ Consultation by appointment
Feel free to make an appointment.

Salmon is a great high-protein, low-calorie meal option. Pair with green beans and broccoli for a well-balenced meal.

text: The underbust is the area located below the bust (or pectorals on those without a bust). We use the vertical length from right below the bust to the waist, to determine if you're long or short-waisted. Some corsets will be patterned for a long or average underbust length. Other corsets will fit all body types vertically (without being too long) but can be on the shorter end. If you're concerned with a corset being too long or too short (leading to a bit of fluff below the bust if the corset is truly centered on the waist). Please remember to take this measurement, and compare it to our sizing diagrams for each corset you may be interested in.

I see many people on the web recommending the use of desiccant packs to control moisture in stored foods. In over 40 years of storing food, I have never used one. Our dried storage includes all types of grains, legumes, dehydrated foods, both home dried and commercial. During this time, I have never had any foods damaged by moisture.
The whole trick is to make sure your products are dry before you package them. Dehydrated fruits, vegetables and meats should be dried to the point that they break when bent. Foods dried to this point and package properly (in moisture proof containers) should not need a desiccant. I have never seen a commercially dried long-term storage food with one in it.
The Mormon Church which has conducted extensive research into food storage does not recommend the use of desiccant packs. None of the manufactures of oxygen absorbers recommend the use of desiccant packs. In fact, some sources argue that they could be detrimental to your food storage. Some types of oxygen absorbers require a minimum amount of oxygen to work. Desiccant packs may drop the moisture level below this threshold.
Except in unusual cases with extremely high humidity, I would not use desiccant packs.

[Expired] Barclaycard JetBlue Plus 60,000 Point Offer (Highest Ever) – Still Available
This was due to expire on December 31st, 2017 but is still available. Barclaycard has a habbit of expiring these a few days later than stated, so if you're still interested I would recommend applying sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed this stays around for some time.
The Offer
- Barclaycard is offering a sign up bonus of 60,000 JetBlue points after $1,000 in spend within the first 90 days of account opening on the JetBlue Plus card.
Card Details
- Offer valid until 12/31/17 based on e-mail sent out advertising offer
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 6x points per dollar spent on jetBlue purchases (previously 2x points)
- 2x points per dollar spent on restaurants and groceries (previously 1x point)
- 1x points per dollar spent on all other purchases
- Annual fee of $99 (not waived first year)
- Free checked bag for the primary cardmember and up to three companions on the same reservation when you use your JetBlue Plus Card to purchase tickets on JetBlue-operated flights
- Earn 5,000 bonus points every year after your account anniversary
- Enjoy all Mosaic benefits for one year after you spend $50,000 or more on purchases after your anniversary date
- Get 10% of your points back every time you redeem to use toward your next redemption
- No foreign transaction fees
- $100 statement credit after you purchase a Getaways vacation package with your card
- 50% savings on eligible inflight purchases including cocktails, food and movies
Our Verdict
Highest bonus on this card was 40,000 and that was an offer released recently, the standard bonus is 30,000 points so this is double the normal sign up bonus and 20,000 points more than the best previous offer. JetBlue points are worth between 0.97¢ & 1.89¢ and award flight prices are tied to the cash rate. That means this bonus is worth between $582 and $1,134 in JetBlue/Hawaiian flights minus the $99 annual fee. You can also currently earn 3x JetBlue points on all Amazon purchasesand JetBlue frequently has flights on sale that we post about.
If you signed up under the previous 40,000 offer, it's always worth trying to get matched. Barclaycard usually doesn't match bonuses, unless it's within 30 days of signing up but it's always worth a try. Other questions you might have about Barclaycard will be answered here and you can read our full review of the JetBlue Plus card here. If you can make use of JetBlue flights then this is a great offer, up to $1,000 in value after taking into account the annual fee and it has a low minimum spend requirement as well. This will be added to the best credit card bonuses.

Our best-selling woodburner: just £229 (until 31/01/15)
The Mazona Olympus 8kW Multi-Fuel Stove was our best-selling woodburner of 2014. As if to give it a headstart for 2015, we've dropped its price for January.
Until 31/01/15, the Olympus is available for just £229 – an incredibly low price for a stove that pumps out 8kW of heat.
In fact, the reasons that make it a bargain at £229 are very similar to the reasons it was our most popular appliance last year:
- 8kw heat output – that's a big stove for the price
- Quality cast iron body construction
- 5-year guarantee covering that construction
- Timeless, traditional stove design
- Airwash system to help keep the glass clear
- Suitable for burning wood, coal or smokeless fuels

I have what should be a quick story to tell, but to annoy my brother Rustin, I will make it long, boring and dreadful.
The history of Cody's middle toe.
About a year ago, Cody and I were watching TV at Marilyn's house when he jumped up to go get something, probably food, when he stubbed his toe SO hard on her recliner. He was leaning down over the chair and trying to breathe. I just kept telling him he was a baby and to get over it. He told me that it really did hurt and I was mean (probably true). Well next day, if that long, it was black and blue. I then felt slightly bad that I was mean to him but still laughed on the inside. September 08 his stupid toe nail finally fell off when he was in the back seat of my dad's truck. He wanted me to kiss it. (The gross thing-I was going to but he stopped me.)
Now on with an even funnier story, I hate when I'm dead asleep and Cody gets up to pee and turns the light on and leaves the door open so that it wakes me up. Aggravating. He hasn't done that in quite some time but last nite, he did. I didn't say anything but I could hear him just fine. He flushed and started walking, hit the lights, THUD, "son of a......", light back on. I'm in bed and yell, "TURN OFF THE LIGHT" in my manica voice and he says with a broken heart, "I just broke my toe." "Shh." "You don't even care." "Sorry." This morning I woke up and got ready for work and before I left, I went to kiss Cody goodbye. He said his toe is still throbbing so I ask to look at it. Sure enough its the same toe and its black and blue. I just start laughing so hard. Later I asked him to do the dishes and he yells out, "I don't know if I can TOE MURDERER!" Me-laugh laugh laugh. I asked if he remembers saying that and he doesn't but he did! Oh its classic.
I do feel bad for him and I'm sorry I find such humor in it but come on...what spouse wouldn't think thats funny?

It must be a Claridge thing. Shannon has mangled her toes on anything and everything that she possibly can. Her number one place to stub her toe? The wheel of the bed frame. You are saying to yourself, wait, that is like 4 inches under the bed. Yes, yes it is. I have been cussed out numerous times for her stubbing her toes on my shoes. Not the ones on my feel that might have moved, no just the ones lying dormant on the floor. The funniest thing about it is that Shannon has some of the smallest feet I have ever seen. Like I said, it must be a family thing.

Should I get him some kind of custom-made toe guard for his b-day? Be careful what you laugh at...have we ever told "the cooler to the head" story? Let's just say, what goes around comes around, at least it does for me!

War! Destruction! Chaos! An overview of our workshop held on 24th February
This week's workshop (Monday 24th February) was all about building on the great musical inroads we made last week, and continuing to explore how we might represent the contrast between the happiness felt at Congo's independence and the fear, shock and confusion felt at the outbreak of the Congolese Civil War.
From the outset, our lyricist and director, Cheryl, and theatre-maker, Tyndale, encouraged the group to engage with the idea of community in chaos: even in the warm-up, Cheryl had everyone running about the space, hastily forming groups of a certain number ("GROUPS OF THREE!), or connected physically by one body part or another ("GROUPS OF FIVE, ALL TOUCHING NOSES!" – a personal favourite), and then breaking off to be frantically walking alone again. As the speed quickened, the group ran around, haphazardly – and sometimes a bit uncomfortably! – thrown together with and then flung apart from those randomly closest to them. The scene was set for this week's exploration of the chaotic results of war on the community.
After the warm-up, we recapped where we are at in terms of creating the live show celebrating Congolese heritage for June 28th (the show will open in 1960s Congo, newly independent, using the songs and Rhumba dance moves we learnt in the first workshop). The event is being created using the many different talents of each of the participants – everyone gets a chance to showcase what they can do, whether it's singing, cooking, dancing, writing, anything! – and this week, Tyndale, our musical director, asked those who mainly wanted to sing to form a group. Melanie, Vero, Marie and DuDu stood to one side, and we began to rework the songs and rhythms that we started on last week by organising into separate parts with each singing – or shouting! – their own section. Shouts of "War!" and "Destruction!" mingled with the haunting 'We We' melodies sung by the foursome, and sounds of weapons, bombs and a heavy drum beat that Tyndale and Pat (our percussionist) had created blended darkly with the sound of the Djembe drum. The war song began to take form!
After a well-deserved break, the group reunited to sing some songs with Emmanuella. Singing in a big ring, some of the performers took drums, boxes – whatever they could get their hands on! – and danced about the space. As the energy of the group built, we finished the session with a more concrete idea of the form of the songs we'd learnt, a lot of smiles and a big Conga line. Stay tuned for next week's session on Monday 3rd of March.

The most famous library in the world because of its influence and landmark in world and ancient history is the Library of Alexandria. Some people also consider the Library of Alexandria to be one of the great wonders of the world in history. I believe that while the library itself isn't considered common knowledge around the world for any age group, anyone that knows anything about the world or history itself is familiar with the library. The library built at the time was one of the largest and most significant of its time and had been built within Egypt as a dedication to the Muses. In fact, the library itself was so significant for its time that it was considered a major centre for scholarship and intellect for 3 entire centuries due to the amount of works that it had collected throughout history, the lecture halls residing within the building and the gardens and meeting rooms in the building itself. It was the capital of knowledge and wisdom and considered one of the best places for scholars due to the great library residing in the Library of Alexandria. There was an estimated 40,000 – 400,000 scrolls within the library itself during the peak of traffic.
Even though the library was built in Egypt, it was built by the Macedonians, specifically the general Ptolemy I, who was successor to Alexander the Great. It is thought that the library was named after Alexander the Great because the city of Alexandria was named after him, but this cannot be confirmed. However, rather than the library being famous for it's namesake and the fame and stature that the library provided for the scholarly world it had become famous for the destruction of the library. The library has its name sketched into history for being burnt down, and it is entirely unknown who had burnt the library down or even when it was officially destroyed. There are theories that anything from earthquakes to small fires over the time of its standing all the way to Julius Caesar burning the library down himself as an act of destruction.
Despite all the many stories that have been provided regarding the library, the library will not be forgotten in history because of how amazing the building was. The building was not only large, but from all reports in history it was also very grand and royal in terms of architecture. It is also believed that the many scrolls and artefacts within the building had been moved to various other libraries or academic buildings of the time before the destruction of the building itself. There are some theories that many of the scrolls had been moved to places such as the House of Wisdom, the Library of Constantinople after the conquering of lands by Alexander the Great and other libraries. As a slightly interesting factoid, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina was named after the great library, giving it a smaller but just as important legacy within its name today.
The library had been one of the great buildings within the history of the world, especially when considering the academic and intellectual benefits that it has provided the world. Although this blog is mostly about libraries, the Library of Alexandria has made me want to discuss one or two more ancient Greek structures that had been built and destroyed in history. However, I hope you enjoyed todays blog post and check out some of the posts I have made in the past!

The "love" factor is important. It's what we base all our big decisions on, a partner, a job and a home, right? Oh do we? Don't we sometimes choose the sensible choice? Sometimes we choose a partner who is kind and caring instead of waiting for butterflies. Sometimes we have jobs to pay the bills, or that give us the lifestyle we want instead of following our passion. Sometimes we live somewhere we can afford or that is in the best location, sacrificing our idea of a dream home.
These aren't bad choices. We can be perfectly happy without the "love" factor. We can have other words, contentment, comfort, even happiness. Is love too high an aspiration for everything in our lives?
I hit gold on my husband and my job. My husband is kinda and caring but he also gives me butterflies. My job pays the bills and gives me the lifestyle I want but is also something I adore. And now we are starting to look at buying a home. Do I get to hit gold on all three?
We are currently looking at a house that hit the love factor for me. It is a mess, a higgledy piggledy house with dark rooms and a ridiculous layout. But nevertheless I fell in love, in love with the character, in love with the potential. The only problem is the renovations would be huge, with two toddlers underfoot and a limited budget, it could turn into a disaster we could live to regret or… our dream home. Another house is very sensible. We could walk in tomorrow. We could make it ours over time. It is within budget. It is nice. I don't love it, but maybe I could learn to love. With some creativity maybe it could be our dream home. I squint and try to see it.
The property situation in Ireland in the past has led to disaster for many, leaving broken people in it's wake. Shouldn't we go into this with our eyes wide open? Following our heads and not our hearts? Against my better judgement and in spite of a tendency to always follow my heart, is this the exception? Is this where I should make a grown up, measured and thought out decision?

We propose the use of compressive holography for two–dimensional (2D) subpixel motion localization. Our approach is based on computational implementation of edge–extraction using a Fourier–plane spiral phase mask, followed by compressive reconstruction of the edge of the object. Using this technique and relatively low–cost computer and piezo motion stage to establish ground truth for the motion, we demonstrated localization within 1/30th of a camera pixel in each linear dimension.
