One of my favorite places in the world (so far!) is Bermuda. It will probably always have a special place in my heart because I was introduced to this amazing island at such a young age and have visited again and again. I love its British roots and real sense of community. Fun fact! You can't live in Bermuda unless you are an island native or marry a Bermudian. This makes me sad. But it's probably best I keep it as a favorite getaway instead.
These photos were taken on my most recent trip in 2009, soon after returning home from Italy. At the time I don't think I fully appreciated this trip because I was still recovering from study abroad withdrawal, but looking through these photos now gives me only sweet memories and a longing to go back. With summer growing nearer and nearer each day, I can't help but daydream about tropical places and endless summer days.

Bug repellents: Which should you use on your little ones?
It's a hot summer day and you head out for a week of camping at a national park. Unfortunately, as soon as you step out of your tent, you are swarmed by hordes of mosquitoes! What can you do to effectively protect your family?
Getting "eaten alive by mosquitoes" is never fun, especially for kids. The first line of defense is to use physical barriers. When you push babies and young children in a stroller, or place them in a playpen outdoors, it is essential that they be protected by mesh netting. Take the time to adjust it properly and check it regularly to make sure there are no openings that could let insects in.
Everyone should wear light-coloured, long, loose-fitting clothing. Avoid tight clothes because mosquitoes can sting through the fabric. Mosquitoes are less attracted to light colours, and the light backdrop makes it easier to spot the insects and get rid of them. It's also a good idea to tuck pant legs into socks, and to tuck shirts into pants, since bugs can easily crawl into these openings!
Experts also recommend staying indoors early and late in the day, when mosquitoes are most active. This isn't always possible, however, and some biting insects are active all day!
Sometimes, despite all these precautions, an extra line of defense proves necessary. You can then resort to using insect repellent, which keeps insects away for a certain amount of time, preventing them from biting. They are available in the form of sprays, creams, lotions or gels, usually intended to be applied on the skin (or sometimes on clothing).
DEET is probably the best-known insect repellent for skin application. The more concentrated it is, the longer its effect: a product containing 30% DEET can last for about 6.5 hours, whereas a product with 10% DEET lasts approximately 3 hours. Products with higher concentrations are recommended for ages 12 and up, since they last longer and don't need to be applied as often. In children under the age of 12, respect the following directions:
- Children 2 to 12 years old: Use products with a DEET concentration of 10% or lower, and apply no more than 3 times per day.
- Children 6 months to 2 years old: Use products with a DEET concentration of 10% or lower, and apply no more than once per day.
- Babies younger than 6 months: DEET products are contraindicated.
Since 10% DEET products only protect for short periods of time, what other options are available to help prevent insect bites in young children?
Icaridin (also called picaridin) is an insect repellent whose safety and efficacy has been recognized by the World Health Organization. As with DEET, the higher its concentration, the longer its effect is. It is estimated that 20% icaridin protects for approximately the same amount of time as 30% DEET. In Canada, 20% icaridin products can be used as of 6 months of age. The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends these products as a first choice in children between the ages of 6 months and 12 years.
Soybean oil, lemon eucalyptus oil (or PMD) and citronella are other repellents available in Canada. Their effectiveness has not been proven as much as DEET and icaridin. Citronella-based products are only effective for about 30 to 120 minutes, and eucalyptus oil (or PMD) is contraindicated in children 3 years of age or under. Some people feel that these products are safer because they are made with "natural" products, but as with any product applied to the skin (insect repellent or other), they may cause a reaction in some individuals (e.g. redness, itching at the application site).
Whichever product you choose, make sure to follow the following guidelines, especially in children:
- Apply a thin coat of repellent over the whole exposed skin area. Avoid putting the product on the hands in young children, because they might then get it into their eyes or mouth.
- Avoid aerosol or spray products on the face, and never apply repellent near the eyes or mouth.
- Apply aerosol products outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, far from food. Ask children to close their eyes while you apply the product, and if they can, ask them to hold their breath.
- Some aerosol repellents can be sprayed on clothing or screen netting, but make sure that young kids won't be chewing on any fabric that has been sprayed with repellent!
- Before applying a bug repellent, make sure the skin is intact and healthy (e.g. no cuts, scratches, eczema, sunburn, etc.).
- If you also need sunscreen, apply it first and then wait 15 minutes before applying the insect repellent. Avoid combination products, because if you apply them as you should with sunscreen, they can expose the user to too much repellent. If, on the other hand, you apply it according to repellent guidelines, the sun protection may not be sufficient.
Repellents can protect against mosquitoes (and sometimes ticks as well), but they offer no protection against wasps or other stinging insects that can cause a severe allergic reaction. Persons with allergies should always carry at least two epinephrine injection devices (e.g. Epi-Pen, Allerject), especially if the closest hospital is more than 15 minutes away.
If you are travelling to a country where stinging insects can transmit serious illnesses such as malaria or Zika, you may need additional protection. Speak to your pharmacist or visit a travel health clinic for more information.

The Rangers are in rebuild mode, and they now have another major building block.
The Blueshirts took Russian forward Vitali Kravstov at No. 9 overall on Friday night, their first of three first-round picks. The 18-year-old impressed in the KHL playoffs a season ago, putting up 11 points in 16 games.
New York also added defenseman K'Andre Miller after trading up four spots with the Senators. The Rangers gave their 26th and 48th picks to take the U.S. development program star who started his career as a forward, which is evident by the 16 points he put up in 22 games last season.
They then followed that up with the their pick of the night in Swedish defensman Nils Lundkvist. The strong puck-moving defenseman played last season in the Swedish Elite League.
The Rangers were able to acquire the No. 26 and No. 28 picks at last season's trade deadline by dealing Rick Nash to Boston and Ryan McDonagh to the Lightning.

Author: Adele Parks
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Format: Paperback 384 pages
Release Date: 20 September 2018
Publisher: HQ Digital
My Rating: ****
Today it is my great pleasure to join the blog tour for Adele Parks's new novel 'I Invited Her In'. My thanks to the publisher HQ Digital for the advance copy for review and for inviting me to join the tour. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
When Mel hears from a long-lost friend in need of help, she doesn't hesitate to invite her to stay. Mel and Abi were best friends back in the day, sharing the highs and lows of student life, until Mel's unplanned pregnancy made her drop out of her studies.
Now, seventeen years later, Mel and Abi's lives couldn't be more different. Mel is happily married, having raised her son on her own before meeting her husband, Ben. Now they share gorgeous girls and have a chaotic but happy family home, with three children.
Abi, meanwhile, followed her lover to LA for a glamorous life of parties, celebrity and indulgence. Everything was perfect, until she discovered her partner had been cheating on her. Seventeen years wasted, and nothing to show for it. So what Abi needs now is a true friend to lean on, to share her grief over a glass of wine, and to have some time to heal. And what better place than Mel's house, with her lovely kids, and supportive husband…
This dark, unsettling tale of the reunion of long-lost friends is thoroughly gripping exploration of wanting what you can't have, jealousy and revenge from Sunday Times bestseller Adele Parks.
You can order your copy of 'I Invited Her In' on Amazon at:
My Thoughts
This book is laid out with chapters devoted to the main characters within this story, primarily told from Mel and Abi's points of views. There is the odd chapter thrown in from other characters in the book as well which help to round the story out and I enjoyed hearing how the other character's were dealing with the various twists and turns this story presents and it helped me as the reader view the story from all angles.
Abi is your typical mother, going about the daily routines, getting the kids ready for school, cleaning the house, ironing her husbands shirts. I really liked Abi as a character, she was presented with a difficult choice very early on in life and she made the right decision for her and made the best life she could for her and her child. Mel feels like she missed out on her youth by getting pregnant so young and yearns for some excitement.
In walks Abi, sassy, exciting, vibrant, and everything Mel wishes, or thinks she wishes, she could be. Abi is one of those characters you love to hate. You know there's something wrong with her and that her motives are not entirely pure, yet you don't want her to stop being the way she is as it makes for such good reading! Abi enters Mel's home and entirely takes over, she smokes in the house and encroaches on Mel and her husbands private space yet because Mel is so enthralled with catching up on the girly chats and gossip that she missed out on in her teen years she lets it happen. I can't imagine I would be so accommodating to someone who so very clearly is taking the p*ss.
The situation between Abi, Mel and her family escalates fairly quickly. I must admit, I quite early on realised one of the big plot twists in this book, however, this did not stop me for one moment wanting to read on. Abi is such a manipulative character that I was desperate to see what games and tricks she had up her sleeve.
I feel that the phrase 'the grass is not always greener on the other side' applies here. If only Mel could have realised that she had a loving husband, great kids, and a lovely home, then maybe she wouldn't have felt there was a gap that needed filling, and in turn maybe wouldn't have let Abi insert herself into their lives so easily.
In a way i'm glad she did though, as it made for a gripping read. The author has a very easy to read style that makes you think 'just one more chapter'. There were some very clever plot twists, and each event leads nicely into the next with each part distinctly meshing together to create the final story. This is the first book I have read by Adele Parks and I can see why she is a best seller. Highly recommend for psychological thriller fans.

Scientists are often reluctant to speak in public on contested issues, for fear that this will "politicize" their science and have a negative impact on their credibility. In this talk, Naomi Oreskes, Professor of History of Science and Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, will examine these concerns, by exploring historical examples of scientists who have spoken up on scientific issues of broad importance, including nuclear weaponry, ozone depletion, and climate change.

TV presenter Louise Roe loves being in Los Angeles because the hot weather means she can wear bright clothes.
Louise Roe loves being in Los Angeles because it means she can wear bright clothes.
The TV presenter splits her time between LA, New York and London and says her style changes depending on what city she's in because of the weather.
When asked what's the difference in British and American style, Louise said: ''It depends where you are I think. New York and London sometimes have a similar cool urban style, very edgy. LA people wear brighter colour but that is probably to do with the weather: it allows you to wear sorbets and pastels, little jumpsuits and bright high heels, which I love.''
Louise says when she's in LA she has a fail-save outfit of brightly coloured maxi-dress, which she teams with a vintage looking denim jacket.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: ''In LA it's nice weather so I go for a bright maxi dress from Rachel Pally, with a beaten up denim jacket from Paige denim.''
Louise Roe is currently fronting the second series of 'Plain Jane' on MTV Tuesdays 8pm.

text: The rise of authoritarian populist forces in recent years has generated new challenges in many affluent societies and long-established democracies, such as the US, UK, Germany, Italy, Greece, and France, as well as destabilizing states worldwide, such as in Venezuela, Brazil, Hungary, Turkey, the Philippines, Thailand, and India. What explains the rise of these forces? What are the consequences? And what can be done to mitigate the risks? This course analyzes these issues from a comparative perspective, to understand America in a broader context. The course covers: (i) the core concepts and meanings of populism and the classification of authoritarian and libertarian forms of populist parties and leaders; (ii) explanations focused on cultural value change, economic grievances, patterns of immigration, electoral rules, and party competition; (iii) the impact on the civic culture and the policy agenda; and (iv) alternative strategic policy responses. The course is assessed through one group exercise and two papers.

London mayor Sadiq Khan is calling for the devolution of 16-18 technical provision, careers services and apprenticeship levy funds and other national funding to the capital, reports TES. A new strategy document for skills and adult education in London argues for a single, integrated skills and adult education offer to back up the already scheduled 2019 devolution of the adult education budget. Entitled 'Skills for Londoners', the report criticises long-standing central government control of an 'underfunded, under-utilised, fragmented' skills system that concentrates too much on delivery of qualifications and not enough on quality and outcomes. Among specific reforms, it argues for an all-age information, advice and guidance careers service, a review of London's post-16 special needs education, more programmes aimed at the most disadvantaged groups, improved English and maths outcomes and more innovation in Esol (English for speakers of other languages) provision.
Former Coalition skills minister Nick Boles has dismissed the government's 2020 3m target for apprenticeship starts as an election tactic, reports TES. He says the slowdown in expected starts shows employers are taking time out to research the best way of using levy funds to produce a better skilled workforce rather than using them to pay people below the minimum wage. Boles, who was speaking at London's City Lit college, originally introduced the apprenticeship levy when he was in cabinet.
Growing concern about the best way to implement the apprenticeship levy has brought a call for urgent reforms from the Chartered Management Institute and British Chambers of Commerce. In a 10-point plan of action, they stress that Britain is an 80% service-based economy with critical skills gaps in management and leadership, digital and advanced engineering. They say the levy is aimed at all workers at every level and urge the government to make re- and up-skilling staff a key priority. Levy rules should be relaxed so that other accredited quality training can be covered under levy funding and thus reengage employers. Funding bands should be set to reflect the true cost of provision. The Institute of Apprenticeships should be funded to speed up introduction of new apprenticeship standards, while employers and not civil servants should actually set and approve standards. The plan also proposes that employers seek alternative off-the-job training methods to a straight one day a week off work, which many smaller companies find hard to accommodate; they could, for example, introduce online workplace training and work-based assessments. Employers should invest long-term in training and developing their wider workforce to cover existing staff, returners, older workers and young people beginning careers.
It's official: entering skills competitions does speed up young people's development and their path to technical excellence, according to research from World Skills UK and the vocational education body, Edge Foundation. Survey findings, reported on the FE News website, show that participation at any level, regardless of success or not, can have a positive effect on a competitor's development and career. Among transferable skills and qualities that were particularly improved by taking part, survey respondents cited working under pressure (90%), time management (86%), resilience (84%) and confidence (83%).
Research also reveals that tutors play a huge role by being responsible for encouraging 90% of young people to enter competitions. Dr Neil Bentley, chief executive of WorldSkills UK, says the research will be used to promote skills competitions to become part of public policy goals for skills and careers advice across the UK.

10 Elegant 2019 Chevrolet Impala Lt – Chevrolet, colloquially Called Chevy and Officially the Chevrolet Division of General Motors Company, is an American automobile division of the American Producer General Motors (GM). Louis Chevrolet and General Motors creator William C. Durant started the company on November 3, 1911 as the Chevrolet Motor Vehicle Company. Durant utilised the Chevrolet Motor Car Company for a controlling stake in General Motors with an reverse merger happening May 2, 1918 and steered back himself into the GM presidency. Right after Durant's second ousting at 1919, Alfred Sloan, along with his maxim"a car for every purse and purpose", could pick the Chevrolet brand to turn into the quantity leader at the General Motors family members, selling main stream motor vehicles to contend with Henry Ford's Model T 1919 and overtaking Ford because the best selling car within the United States from 1929.

Chevrolet-branded automobiles have been sold generally in most automotive markets throughout the world, " In Oceania, Chevrolet is symbolized by its Australian subsidiary, Holden, having returned to the place in 2018 after having a 50-year shortage together with all the launch of the Camaro and also Silverado pickup vehicle. Back in 2005, Chevrolet was re launched in Europe, chiefly selling vehicles built by GM Daewoo of South Korea using all the tagline"Daewoo has risen enough to eventually become Chevrolet", " a move wrapped in General Motors' attempt to build a global new round Chevrolet. With all the reintroduction of all Chevrolet into Europe, GM intended Chevrolet to be a conventional value brand, while GM's traditional European standard-bearers," Opel of Germany, along with Vauxhall of the United Kingdom wouldbe transferred upmarket. But, GM reversed this move in late 2013, announcing that the new could be removed from Europe, with the exclusion of the Camaro and Corvette at 2016. Chevrolet motor vehicles will continue to get promoted in the CIS nations, including Russia. After normal Motors completely obtained GM Daewoo in 2011 to generate GM Korea, the last usage of this Daewoo automotive manufacturer was stopped from its native South Korea and succeeded by Chevrolet.

Microsoft released its Microsoft Quantum Development Kit, that lets you perform calculations using Qubits, that can even be done on your local computer, via a simulator. Krysta Svore goes through a video demo, showing some basics of the language and concepts.
In this post, I will go through the demo, in the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit; Introduction and step-by-step demo. I wanted to write this to give more information around each point discussed, for those, like me, who don't have a deep knowledge of quantum computing.
Before we even begin, it is highly recommended you know at least the basics of quantum mechanics, such as the two basic principles of Superposition and Entanglement. (These are nice easy to understand videos, for beginners). I suggest you read up on these first, if you don't already know them.
Q# will look familiar to .NET developers, with concepts taken from F# and C#.
In thinking of how to call your quantum code, you can think of quantum processing as being similar to a co-processor, much like a GPU. You call the quantum processor, through your CPU, In this case, you can use C# to call Q#.
Register is used to store Quantum information. A register is a Qubit, and you can create qubits like an array.
using (register = Qubit[2])
X operator is analogous to a NOT in classical logic. It is flipping it's state. This code is flipping the Qubit.
Then we teleport the message between the Qubits. In the sample it goes to another operation, called Teleport. First they register another qubit and apply the H operator to it. H is the Hadamard gate and is creating a superposition.
using (register = Qubit[1]) { let here = register[0]; H(here);
As a note that might help you here. All of these gates are similar to classical gates. e.g. XOR, AND, NAND etc. However these gates are for quantum states.
Hadamard and CNOT Gates
The Hadamard gate, acts on a single qubit, and it represents a certain rotation on the X and Y axis. But rotating what, on what axis? This is where you want to look at the Bloch sphere. The Bloch sphere is a geometrical representation of the pure state space of a two-level quantum mechanical system (qubit).
Pure state space, corresponds to vectors in Hilbert Space, with each observable quantity is associated with a mathematical operator. e.g. wavefunction. Hilbert space is generalizing the notion of Euclidean space. This means extending methods to add finite or infinite dimensions to 3D space. Euclidean space is at simple level, the X, Y, and Z axis.
Reversing this backwards.
Euclidean space (x,y,x) => Hilbert Space (dimensions) => Pure State Space (vectors in dimensions) => Bloch Sphere (geometrical representation of pure state space) => Qubit is a vector in this space.
But what does this even mean. While classical computers are 1s or 0s, a qubit can be a 1 or 0 or anything in between. These are its super positions. The Hadamard gate, places the qubit into a superposition, meaning, when it is measured, it has equal probability to produce a 1 or 0. Applying a Hadamard gate twice, will always result it in giving the same value as the initial input.
CNOT gate is short for Controlled Gate, and this one is a little easier to understand. It takes 2 qubits. If the first one is 1, then it will flip the second one. If the first one is 0, then it does nothing to the second qubit.
CNOT(here, there);
Doing a Hadamard gate and a CNOT gate, has now entangled the here and there variables. If you do something to the first one, it changes the second one, and vice versa.
Now, we are going to insert the msg into the existing entangled pair by applying a CNOT gate and a Hadamard gate with the msg and here.
CNOT(msg, here); H(msg);
Pauli Gates
Now we want to measure the qubit, and translate to a classical state. This is done via the M operator, and will output a One or Zero depending upon its value. Moving on, we apply the Z and X operations to the 'there' qubit, depending upon the result.
if (M(msg) == One) { Z(there); } if (M(here) == One) { X(there); }
The X and Z operations are Pauli gates. The Pauli X gate is easily mapped to a NOT gate in classical computing. a Pauli Z gate, is a type of phase shift gate, where it leaves a basis state of |0> and maps |1> to a -|1>
If you want to know what |x> means. It is called a Ket, and the mathematical representation of a qubit. x, being a 0 or 1.
Going through this example, it is clear you need to know fundamentals of quantum mechanics, in order to understand what is going on. Hopefully I provided enough information, for a very basic understanding of how this fits together.

The North American continent shows the highest percentage growth for Zespri year to date. "The category is doing so well," says Sarah Deaton with Zespri North America. Zespri SunGold is surpassing total fruit sales by 116 percent and this variety alone shows 32 percent sales growth in North America. "Overall, the kiwi category has been pretty stagnant as it has been hard for consumers to understand premium quality of Zespri versus other kiwifruit," says Dan Mathieson, Zespri's CEO. "However, SunGold has revitalized the whole category. It tastes delicious, but it's also always ready-to-eat and these characteristics are really appealing," he added. "SunGold is causing a dramatic growth in kiwi fruit consumption, which is fantastic."
Zespri's Sarah Deaton and CEO Dan Mathieson
10 million additional trays every year
In 2018, Zespri harvested 65 million trays of SunGold fruit, up from 53 million trays last year. "We expect it to grow with about 10 million trays every year from now on by licensing additional hectares," Mathieson said. Production of green kiwifruit is close to 80 million trays this year but grows at a slower rate. The fact that SunGold is expected to overtake green kiwifruit in volumes next year, shows the huge success of the SunGold program as it has only been in the market for a few years.
North America is Zespri's 6th largest market
It will be the first time in Zespri's history for another kiwifruit variety to overtake Green. The popularity of SunGold is being noticed in all the company's major markets around the world but is particularly strong in North America. "This market is moving quickly," shared Mathieson. "It was out of our top 10 markets two years ago and now it's the number six market for us. We even expect it to move into the top three position over the next five years." At the moment, the top three is made up of Japan, China and Spain. North America is one of Zespri's target markets. "It's a key market where we are putting more people on the ground and bringing more programs into place."
SunGold orchard
Increasing production in Italy
In order to fulfill the growing demand from consumers in North America and other key markets such as Europe and Asia, Zespri is adding acreage and trying to extend the season. To supply fruit out of the northern hemisphere locations for a longer period, there is more Italian kiwifruit on the market this year. "We've got about 3,000 hectares in Italy and about 50 percent of that is producing while 1,500 hectares are between three and five years out of producing," said Mathieson. In addition to Italy, SunGold is also grown in France, Japan and Korea. Trials are being done in the US and China, but they only just got started, so results are not available yet.
Extending season into January
"With additional production from Italy, we are probably extending our season into January or the beginning of February," mentioned Deaton. New Zealand supplies start up in May, so that would result in a nine-month supply window. Although the company would love to be able to supply SunGold year-round, that is still a little ways away. "For now, we'll move from six months out of New Zealand to eight or nine months, including northern hemisphere supplies," Deaton said. Zespri is also looking at some new Gold varieties in New Zealand that are longer storing, so in the longer-term supplies may be extended even further.
SunGold orchard
Reaching consumers
"Consumers are loving the taste of SunGold and are curious where they can find it in the store," Deaton shared. To help consumers locate the fruit, Zespri is working together with strategic retail partners to build big retail displays. "With some retailers, we have seen 50 percent growth in their sales numbers when they are building those big displays," she said. "We are also reaching consumers before they shop." A recent consumer campaign resulted in 184 million impressions.

Turning 50 today, Sarah Jessica Parker – best know for her role as Carrie in Sex and the City – is no shrinking violet when it comes to cutting edge fashion and statement pieces. Whether she's posing on the red carpet at a premiere or taking a stroll with her children, her outfits are flawlessly stylish. To celebrate her big 5-0 today we've pulled together five of her most fabulous fashion moments…
This is what we call statement headwear. For the premiere of the second Sex and the City movie, Parker graced the red carpet in this black, strapless gown by Alexander McQueen.
She didn't disappoint at the premiere of the first Sex and the City film either. Sarah wore this dainty pistachio green cocktail dress with an elegant, floral head piece that complimented the colour in her dress perfectly.
An elegant take on the little black dress, this full bodied skirt and translucent detailing was the pefect choice to accentuate her fabulous footwear at the Fashion Footwear Association of New York Awards in 2014.
Latest Stories
It's no secret that SJP had a penchant for Oscar de la Renta's show-stopping designs. This one in particular, which she wore to last year's Oscar's has gone down in history as one of the late designer's most iconic creations. Modelled by anyone else and we're sure it wouldn't have had the same impact. We'd also bet a pretty penny it was the inspiration behind Amal Clooney's look at this year's Golden Globes.
Another day another Oscar de la Renta gown, this time it was at the Emmy's in 2000. Cut from pale pink silk with a statement corsage and 90's spaghetti straps it had more than a touch of Carrie Bradshaw about it!

text: As of late, the server market has been heating up. Companies like Dell, IBM, Cisco, Super Micro, and Huawei all saw growth in server shipments, while many saw double digit revenue growth year-over-year. So what's driving the growth? Some argue it's from the big web-scalers like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, and to an extent, that is true. When the big guys do something, many follow suit, but I think the growth is also due in part to the mandate within many organizations to digitally transform by leveraging HCI.

Snows Timber, one of Britain's biggest timber importers and distributors, has joined colleagues across the timber trade, including the Timber Trade Federation, in signing the WWF-UK Forests Campaign Pledge, to source all wood legally and sustainably by 2020. Snows' wood purchasing already stands at 99% from certified sources and the company is actively working to change the final 1%.
"Having been one of the pioneers taking up timber chain of custody certification many years ago, signing the WWF-UK Forests Pledge helps us to further focus on increasing own sustainability and to also provide a greater service to our customers," says Snows' Product Director Mark Bowers. Announcing its participation, Snows Timber is making postcards promoting the WWF Forests Pledge available to merchants at the Builders Merchants Federation's members' day and beyond.

But just as she is about to be killed, a strange boy appears from the diskos, providing a cover of chaos that allows her to escape and launching her on a time-spinning journey in which her fate is irreversibly linked to his.

The stakes are always high in the TR South baseball program. Ken Frank has 820 career wins as coach. The Indians have won many championships during his tenure. Winning consistently has always been a goal for Coach Frank. The Indians were ready to go on Monday night. They were looking to bounce back from a 4-3 second round SCT loss to Red Bank Catholic. The stage was set in the first round of the South Jersey Group III tournament. TR South would host an Oakcrest team that has played much better than their 9-15 record.
TRS got off to a good start in the first inning. Austin Gonella led off and got to second base on what could have been a ground out. Oakcrest made a throwing error in the field, and the Indians took advantage of that. The Indians got out to a 2-0 lead in the 2nd with big hits from Jake Ryan and Ray Liguori. Jake Ryan singled, and Ray Liguori batted him in with an RBI triple. Ryan and Liguori have been producing very well all season.
However, Oakcrest would not go away easily. Good pitching from Ryan Johnson kept the score low early on. Oakcrest would get big hits from Tyler Manno and John Dodson. Manno hit a double in the 4th to give Oakcrest a 4-3 advantage. Oakcrest had the Indians on their heels. Coach Frank would have to keep his team focused in the second part of the game.
Ryan and Ligouri would continue to drive the offense for the Indians. Jake Ryan hit his second single of the game, and Ray Ligouri hit a double as TRS led 6-4 heading into the 5th. Ben Montenegro also drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. Ryan Shiffer also hit an RBI single late in the game. Shiffer ended up running home from third on what was one of the most controversial plays of the game. Oakcrest tried to argue that Shiffer was tagged out. The umpires argued over the call before finally agreeing that he was safe. That would be all TRS needed to finish this game, beating Oakcrest 8-4 to advance in the South Jersey Group III Tournament. TRS will host #6 seeded Triton on Thursday night. Triton were winners over Pinelands 6-0.
Ray Ligouri started the game for the Indians. He finished with 4 strikeouts. He threw over 80 pitches early on and was replaced by Anthony Carfora in the 4th. Carfora finished the game, picking up a strikeout, and pitching a 1-2-3 7th inning to get the win in relief for TRS.
Ray Ligouri finished the day 2/3 with a double, triple, and an RBI. Jake Ryan was 3/3 hitting three key singles to pace the Indians offense. Ryan scored twice for TRS. Anthony Carfora was also 2/4 with a single and a double in the game.

U.S. Wages Sisyphean War Against Afghan Corruption
Widespread corruption is one of the main barriers to a stable Afghanistan. U.S. officials have long said it undermines support for the government and helps fuel the Taliban insurgency.
Despite U.S. effort to train Afghan investigators and help build corruption cases, NPR's Tom Bowman reports the problem is as bad as ever.
TOM BOWMAN, BYLINE: For years the U.S. has battled corruption in Afghanistan. It's created several task forces. One is called Transparency. A new one is being set up to be based in Washington, they're calling this one the Illicit Activities Initiative for Afghanistan.
Not long ago, while reporting from Afghanistan, I met the American in charge of anti-corruption efforts in Kabul. He's Brigadier General Rick Waddell. He says the U.S. is working closely with the Afghan government to bring corrupt officials to justice.
BRIG. GENERAL RICK WADDELL: Ideally you would investigate and prosecute, sentence and imprison these sorts of people. But this isn't going to happen overnight.
BOWMAN: So when you come to a place like this and say, I'm working anti-corruption and people say the entire government is corrupt.
WADDELL: I would say that we work with good Afghans at all levels of the government. What we tell them is let's go after the ones we can. You go after lower-hanging fruit to make a difference.
ANTHONY CORDESMAN: The real problem with the low hanging fruit is why are they low hanging?
BOWMAN: Anthony Cordesman is a defense analyst in Washington who has written extensively on Afghanistan.
CORDESMAN: Because they don't have political support or because somebody wants to use an ax to take them out of power.
BOWMAN: Meaning they weren't big enough players to matter.
The problem is the U.S. has had little success going after senior Afghan officials accused of corruption - those with ties to President Hamid Karzai.
American officials tell NPR they've helped prepare more than a half dozen high-profile corruption cases against government ministers, provincial governors, senior military officials. All the cases are languishing in the Justice Ministry, they say.
I found one example not far from General Waddell's office in Kabul. We're standing outside of one the symbols of corruption here in Afghanistan. It's the Mohammad Daud Khan military hospital. And it's here that the Americans allege that the man in control of this hospital, General Ahmad Zia Yaftali, stole tens of millions of dollars' worth of drugs and pharmaceuticals and sold them off.
That's the allegation. Here's what happened. General Yaftali was removed from running the hospital a year-and-a-half ago.
NADER NADERY: He was fired, was appointed somewhere else, but no prosecution yet.
BOWMAN: That's Nader Nadery, a former member of the Afghan Human Rights Commission. Nadery has joined the Americans in pressing the Karzai government to move forward on this and other cases.
NADERY: I asked for the president not only to remove those people who are known for their bad practices and undermining his own legacy, but also to start prosecuting people.
BOWMAN: Nadery never heard back from Karzai's office. Meanwhile, American investigators working on the anti-corruption task forces have left in frustration. Others privately admit their efforts have achieved little. They estimate that hundreds of millions of American dollars have been lost to corruption.
Some analysts, like Anthony Cordesman, say the U.S. is partly to blame for the corruption. It flooded the country with money, but didn't insist on monitoring how it was spent. And several top current and former officials tell NPR the issue of corruption never got the attention it deserved in Washington.
SETH JONES: Administration officials certainly talked about the importance of anti-corruption efforts.
BOWMAN: Seth Jones served as an adviser to the American command in Afghanistan last year and now works for the RAND Corporation.
JONES: But when it came to specific, concrete, sustained efforts to target and reduce corruption within the Afghan government, there was not a lot of stomach for it.
BOWMAN: So because officials believed they needed Karzai to fight the Taliban, they were reluctant to cut off aid if he didn't deal with corruption. Not everyone's given up. John Sopko is the new special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction. The man he replaced told Congress in December that corruption in Afghanistan is almost insurmountable.
JOHN SOPKO: I can't assess that and I wouldn't want to assess that. And I'm approaching this job by not looking backward.
BOWMAN: What he sees in front of him is a real challenge. Sopko says it's significant that President Karzai just signed a pledge during an international donors' conference in Tokyo.
SOPKO: And it makes fighting corruption a key goal. The bottom line is we are going to hold everybody accountable.
BOWMAN: Accountable for the money still to be spent in Afghanistan. The United States and others have pledged to help the Afghan government in the coming years to the tune of $16 billion. Tom Bowman, NPR News.

A little over couple of decades ago, the machines(computers) got connected, and then internet connected the people and now is the turn of everything in between.
But it is not so easy going.
Despite a plethora of technology in the forms of analytics engines, sensors, edge gateways being available, success of IOT has been limited on the face of seemingly humongous demand. Continue reading… "IOT is not YET living upto the craze that it should be. Here is possibly why."

An often-forgotten room in the home when it comes to styling is our bathroom – yet it's generally the first room we go to when we wake up and the last room we're in before going to bed.
A little styling effort goes a long way in the bathroom and here are our top tips on how to decorate your bathroom.
1. Create an arrangement on your vanity
With a few easy tricks, you can turn your hand soap and tooth brushes into a stylish arrangement.
Firstly, add a tray! Using a base of a tray or trivet will instantly make items feel as though they belong.
Add an odd number of items on top. You've probably heard us share this tip before but it's one of our favourite ways to make an arrangement feel balanced. Placing 3, 5, 7 or any other odd number of items on a tray always looks better to the eye.
Incorporate some natural elements, such as a bristle brush, piece of coral, small plant or flowers, and play with the height and scale of items i.e. using some taller pieces with shorter.
2. Consider styling a bath tray
If you have a bathtub, why not style a bath tray? Not only does it look fab, it could help you get into the habit of regular baths – such a great self-care ritual.
This bath tray from Pillow Talk is one of our favourites or this one from Catch is also a great buy. Alternatively, you might like to make your own like the one we've used below. Follow our easy DIY bath tray tutorial here.
It's up to you what items you place on top – perhaps you want to keep it minimal with just an indoor plant or candle? Or perhaps you'd like to set it up ready for your next bath with everything from bath salts, body brushes, small towel and even a good book?
3. Style a stool
If you don't have a bath or would prefer not to use a bath tray, perhaps styling a small stool is another idea to try?
From the iconic Mark Tuckey eggcup stool to a bargain find from your local thrift shop, there are plenty of places you could pick up a stylish stool in your price range.
Candles, crystals, small towels, body products or brushes are just some of the items you could arrange on top.
4. Keep niche styling minimal
Did you catch our bathroom trends to let go of? Emphasising wall niches was top of the list!
There are ways we can make our shampoo and conditioner look more stylish though – perhaps transferring these into non-branded, neutral bottles or just adding one small plant for that pop of life?
5. Use towels like art
Add a big splash of colour and interest to your bathroom with towels – treat them like art in your bathroom.
Stylish towels are easier to find than ever with retailers such as Adairs and Freedom stocking a great range of affordable yet luxe towels, or boutique online stores like L&M Home where you can find locally designed towels like the sophisticated Apollo towels we used below.
6. Use a bath mat
Soften the appearance of hard tiled floors with a bath mat. We love those that have a bit of texture or bamboo mats that add warmth.
You can also find round bath mats or those with a quote, like the popular 'Nudie Rudie' mat, for a bit of fun.
7. Add indoor plants
If you haven't already, look for a way you can incorporate some indoor plants into your bathroom.
A large plant next to the shower, hanging planter by the window or small indoor plant on the vanity are some of our favourite places to add plants.
Have you got any other bathroom styling tips to share? We'd love to know how you decorate your bathroom!
