2016 Home Decor Predictions
If your New Year's resolution is to redecorate and rejuvenate your home then the likelihood is you are thinking about how to design and re-style your house to suit your tastes. The simplest thing to do would be to mimic a design that you like, for example the minimalistic look or the shabby chic effect, which may look lovely, but also may look similar to the homes of your friends or family. If you don't want to feel like you are living in someone else's house try to make your decor different and new in design and style by using our 2016 home décor predictions as a guideline.
It is impossible to say for sure what is going to be in style this year, but from the current trends here are some of our home décor predictions for 2016:
Black stainless steel: more companies are now making appliances such as cookers and fridge-freezers, with a black stainless steel finish instead of the lighter typical steel and it is becoming very popular. If you're looking for the perfect way to re-design your kitchen, this is perfect.
Pedestals: 2016 is likely to be a year of quirky looking pedestals. These will look more like sculptures or pieces of art rather than a boring table, they make a perfect addition to any free corner of your home and are perfect for holding something small like a house plant or the house phone.
Two-tone kitchen cabinets: the new style for kitchens this year is likely to be two-tone cabinets, with lower cabinets being darker in colour, upper cabinets a neutral or white colour and all work surfaces being a lighter shade. This will allow you to play with mixing styles and gives your kitchen dimension.
Fireplaces: set to be a more romantic year, the fireplace is making a comeback! Though this is a beautiful addition to your home there are some things you need to consider before getting a fireplace. For example, what is the size of your home? If it is too small you'll need to use your fire on a low heat which will accumulate soot. Do you have ventilation that will allow air to be pulled through the fireplace? If your home is sealed the fireplace may not function properly. What is your insulation like? This will determine the kind of fireplace and how much heating you will need. Can your floor handle the additional weight of a fireplace? Some fireplaces can be very heavy.
Combination toilets and bidets: separate bidets never really took off, however, manufacturers have been developing a combination toilet-bidet that is set to take the bathroom design world by storm.
Bedroom desk: we are moving away from sitting at the sofa with a laptop on your legs and returning to the age of the desk. High-gloss, strong desks are likely to be very popular in 2016.
Formal dining: in modern homes the table and chairs, if there is one, can be found in any of the downstairs rooms, with dining rooms being mixed into kitchens or even living rooms. This year the dining room is making a come-back, so if you have a second living room, a home office, or a play room downstairs, why not consider turning it into a dining room.
The sun corner: sun rooms are quite popular and are a lovely addition to your home, but they are also quite expensive. A cheaper alternative would be turn a corner of your home that gets the most light, into a small lounging area where you can soak up some rays.

New Guinea is a large island off the continent of Australia. It is the world's second-largest island, after Greenland, covering a land area of 785,753 km2 The Territory of Papua and New Guinea was renamed Papua New Guinea in 1971. Papua New Guinea gained full independence from Australia in September 1975.
Papua New Guinea, in the southwestern Pacific, encompasses the eastern half of New Guinea and its offshore islands. A country of immense cultural and biological diversity, it's known for its beaches and coral reefs. Inland are active volcanoes, granite Mt. Wilhelm, dense rainforest and hiking routes like the Kokoda Trail. There are also many traditional tribal villages. Papua New Guinea has a population of over 8.25 million using over 820 different languages. The official languages are English, Tok and Hiri Motu.
Home to some of the most interesting tribal cultures in the world, Papua New Guinea is an area filled with diversity. Some people would say it is quite similar to Australia, especially since they share a similar history; however, it has all of the lush forests and mountains that Australia doesn't have. It is a place with an undeveloped tourism industry, so any visit to this area will show you what the people and place are truly like. A trip to their mountains will help you discover their unique flora and fauna, as well as the tribal culture of painted and masked men.
Papua New Guinea's climate is tropical, as one would expect in a country located just south of the Equator. December to March is the wet season, although occasional rain falls year round.While Port Moresby, the capital, and other towns on the coast are quite hot in the summer months, temperatures are considerable cooler in the Highlands. July, August, and September are the best months for trekking vacations.
- Papua New Guinea is one of the few regions close to the equator that experience snowfall, which occurs in the most elevated parts of the mainland.
- The Kuk Early Agricultural Site consists of swamps in the highlands of New Guinea. It has been discovered that the land has been drained, possibly for as long as ten thousand years. Agriculture dates back to about six and a half thousand years ago.
- The world's only known poisonous bird, the Hooded Pitohui (Pitohui dichrous) is native to Papua New Guinea.
- Children make up almost half of Papua New Guinea's largely rural population.
- Transportation by air is extensive; there are few roads
- Papua New Guinea is the most heterogeneous nations in the world. There are hundreds of ethnic groups indigenous to Papua New Guinea
- Papua New Guinea has only 18 per cent of its people living in urban centres.
- Staples include starchy vegetables (wild sago, breadfruit, yams, taro, sweet potatoes, and rice) complemented by wild greens, several varieties of bananas, and coconuts, mango, and other fruits.
- Villagers cook two meals a day, boiling or roasting the food
- Earth ovens are dug on ceremonial grounds for special occasions.
- Papua New Guinea is renowned for ceremonial occasions at which hundreds of pigs or other valuables are distributed to guests
- Competitive feasting ("fighting with food") between big men and chiefs features oratory, dancing, singing, drumming, and feasting that go on for days, along with the payment of bride-prices and other exchanges

A Cut Above the Rest
This is a sleight of hand trick which requires some practice. Well worth it for the effect.
Sleight of hand required: Glimpsing the top card of the pack and also flipping the pack.
Preparation required: You'll require a thick, large handkerchief that can't be seen through and an ordinary deck of cards.
The trick:
Take the deck of cards and shuffle it. Be sure to glimpse the top card whilst you do this.
In clear view of the audience place the deck face down in the palm of your left hand, then hold the handkerchief in your right hand and in a sweeping motion cover the deck with it. As you do this, and being careful not to be seen by your audience, flip the pack over so that it lies face up beneath the handkerchief in the middle of your palm.
Get a spectator to cut the deck under the handkerchief without looking, and with the handkerchief still in place, you put the top pile they have removed back into your hand nearer to your wrist than the rest of the deck. As you are doing this, flip the remaining pile so that it's face down - be sure to be able to do this without being seen.
Ask the spectator to then reach under the handkerchief and remove the face down pile - this was originally on the bottom. However, you must be sure that no-one sees the other pile which is still face up.
Get the spectator to look at the card that they cut to - the top card of the face-down pile which is in fact the card you glimpsed on top of the deck at the start of the trick. Whilst they're doing that, flip the pile you're still holding so that it's now face down, remove it from under the handkerchief and hand it to the spectator. The spectator now shuffles the deck and returns it to you. You now reveal the selected card in the manner of your choice.

What is a DDoS Attack?
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. They target a wide variety of important resources, from banks to news websites, and present a major challenge to making sure people can publish and access important information.
DDoS Attacks Matter
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can be used to make important online information unavailable to the world. Sites covering elections are brought down to influence their outcome, media sites are attacked to censor stories, and businesses are taken offline by competitors looking for a leg up. Protecting access to information is important for the Internet and important for free expression.
Visualizing Trends
Understanding the raw data behind DDoS Attacks is not intuitive. As a result, the impact, scale and scope of the challenge can be easily overlooked. We hope this tool allows more people to understand the challenges posed by DDoS attacks. We also hope it triggers a dialogue about how we can work together to reduce the threat of DDoS Attacks, improving the Internet for everyone.

I received a Love flute music CD in the send. The music was an expression of pure joy. To the discerning/critical notice the CD didn't conform to the guidelines of 'good music'. But this limitation was over come by the enthusiasm and joy in the playing. The Native American fashion flute is helping to liberate various of us from evaluating and criticizing everything. The Indian flute may aid us overcome our self-critical behavior patterns.
Why can't we only relax and have fun? Why are we thus difficult on ourselves? the present culture or correctness and perfection may take the fun from lifetime. Playing the Indian flute or expressing our selves in additional methods ought to be based on versatility from worry on criticism, specifically self-criticism. Otherwise we are perpetually caught in the place light. The spotlight where everyone is searching at us. And if we don't do it right there is a cost to pay. That cost is self-respect. Holding ourselves as much as impossible practices or different people's specifications signifies that we are constantly setting ourselves about fail. When we are self important we are living under a cloud of our own creation. Actually, we didn't create it.
It began when we were kids. Constant criticism of our performance. We were constantly doing it incorrect. Who doesn't? Life is a understanding task and we need the flexibility to create errors without worry of criticism. Nobody gets if proper all of the time – or almost all of the time. Practice, practice, practice – until we end up hating what we are doing. We will become wise at it but we're without fun anymore. So what's the point?
In tune? We could become thus dedicated to being in tune we're dead to joy. Making a fetish from playing it appropriate is a lot like wanting the sunlight to shine the same technique daily. 'That's the method it could shine' state the purists. Not too bright. Not too dull. Simply this method and this technique just. What if I like it a small brighter? What if I don't care? Can anybody set guidelines for the most perfect sunny day?
When, with an open heart, we give others the appropriate to play any why they please and are capable of we are introduced from our own self-criticism. Life is a Circle of such variety that there is space for every individual and every song. Let the breathing of existence go out through your flute into a receptive globe. You are able to change your lifetime and possibly the planet 1 song at a time.

Mac Forbes was born and raised in the Yarra Valley, but it was in fact the southwest of France that influenced his decision into winemaking. At the age of 19 Mac Forbes was back in Melbourne and undertaking a degree in science, and then oenology in Adelaide. This was followed by a stint at Mount Mary, one of Yarra Valley's best wineries, thereafter heading to London where he stepped away from hands-on wine work. On his return to Melbourne in 2004, he began preparing to release a vintage, at a time when the world was in love with big, extracted reds that Australia seemed to be churning out by the truckload. Mac had different ideas, though. One criticism of Australian wine was that they failed to feature a sense of 'terroir', or the environment in which the grapes were grown. He had noticed that some sites in the Yarra Valley had experienced a change in their terroir, becoming warmer, which then stripped away some of the complexity and elegance from wines such as Pinot Noir. Mac searched for cooler sites, in the process of establishing his own vineyards and sourcing fruit from premium local locations. Mac has his EB (Experimental Batch) label, where he, as the name suggests, experiments with different techniques, such as maturing Riesling on its skins (usually a big no-no), or making a Syrah in the style of a Beaujolais nouveau.
In addition to Mac's experimental wines, such as the 'EB38 Showdown #2 Pinot Noir Syrah', a blend made famous in the Hunter Valley, there is also: 'Coldstream Pinot Noir', a wine of 'elegance and quiet power'; and the 'Hugh Cabernet Blend', a sumptuous display of black fruit, cedar and spice, with great length.
For more information on Mac and his array of wines, check out his website.

About the Mandir
Mukti-Gupteshwar Mandir is the first and so far the only man-made cave mandir dedicated to the Lord Shiva, the 13th Jyotirlingam, Mukti-Gupteshwar Mahadev.
Along with the Mahadev, there are scale model replicas of 12 other Jyotirlinga, 108 human made lingas represent the Rudra names of the Lord Shiva and 1008 fannings Lord Shiva representing his Sahastra namas. Each figuring represents a small mandir of Lord Shiva and therefore there are total of 1128 small mandirs inside the Mukti-Gupteshwar mandir which is very unque to its kind.
Architect's impression of the Mandir complex before construction
In the Sanctum there is a 10 metre deep 'vault' which comprises 2 million handwritten notes each saying 'Om Namah Shivaya' from devotees around the world. There is water from 81 rivers including major rivers from Australia and from five oceans, and eight precious metals. Good wishes from holy men and other dignitaries around the world have also been placed in the 'vault'.
Each morning a Brahmin priest conducts the ritual sustenance of the 13th Jyotirlingam, 12 replicas of other Jyotirlinga, 108 Rudra Shivas and 1008 Sahastra nama Lord Shivas.

The Church has contributed significantly to the development of music in the western world as well as created rules of musical notation that have been useful in documenting music as an art form. Church tradition influenced music culture significantly during the Reformation and into the Baroque and Classical periods. Throughout history, groups of Christians have also adapted secular styles of music to incorporate Scripture and biblical principles into singing for both individual and corporate worship.
Cedarville University's Centennial Library and Biblical Heritage Gallery will celebrate this musical tradition by presenting the display "Sing to the Lord a New Song: Early Church Music" now through May 14. This new exhibit demonstrates the integration of musical traditions and corporate worship in Church history. Gallery pieces represent music from early Gregorian chant, choral music of the Renaissance, the simple singing of Psalms and 19th-century gospel hymns. Along with the main exhibit, the gallery also includes displays on sacred music shape-note singing and American gospel hymnody.
The Biblical Heritage Gallery is located on the first floor of the Center for Biblical and Theological Studies. Cedarville University invites the community to view this visual interpretation of Church history and musical development.
Located in Cedarville, Ohio, Cedarville University is an accredited, Christ-centered, Baptist university of arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs. Featuring a worldwide Christian ministries program, the University offers more than 100 areas of study to 3,000 students. Visit the University Web site at www.cedarville.edu.

At Step Staffing & Recruiting, we hear from many of our clients that staffing their current positions in supply chain operations is their number one concern. Did you know, as of 2012 there were 804,000 Canadians employed in some area of supply chain occupations? Current statistics show Canada has almost 27,000 vacant supply chain positions, and it is only going to grow. It is anticipated there will be an additional 66,000 new and vacant supply chain positions per year for the next five years. This equals a total of approximately 357,000 new supply chain positions across Canada alone! That's going to take a lot of your time!
Here at home in Alberta, we have, "91,944 Albertans specifically dedicated in the workforce attached to supply chain occupations with an anticipated increase over the next few years of 50,000 job openings." So what do these people do, you may ask? There in itself is a question; do you know the answer? According to The Accelerator Project, "Current position titles can range from management positions, purchasing, customs, shipping and brokerage, logistics, information systems analysis, and longhaul truck drivers." Many people who work with corporations don't even know what their supply chain pro's do, so is it really any wonder as to why we are falling short of this skill set in the labour market? One reason why these numbers are so high is because supply chain positions are part of a large gang. Do you need help? Yes, you do, because the battle is on for one of the country's most sought after resources, including skilled labour in the supply chain profession.
Did you know, your next proactive step in finding a solution to this shortage is right here at home in Calgary? When making your vendor selection and purchasing decision around supplying staff to projects, you can count on the professionals at Step Staffing and Recruiting. With so much on the line, isn't it worth it to utilize this resource and think outside the box? One of the supply chain professionals I converse with, Sharlene McMorland, who is the Corporate Expeditor for Tesla Exploration Ltd, often says, "It is a hard sell getting others to try something different. Many in the industry believe in doing the same things, the same way, because that is how it has always been. Be it with people, resources, or products, the capability to detour around your obstacles makes the destination well worth the initial risk and will make you a top performer."
It is our business at Step to offer creative solutions and out of the box thinking to find the right individuals to meet the growing demands of your company. We have established a second to none work ethic along with the knowledge and experience to work with your team, such as Project Managers, Supervisors, and HR Personnel to bring on your contractor workforce or recruit for the position you need filled. You may find it odd or were unaware, but did you know our Contractor Management (CM) team is also part of "Supply Chain"? This area is considered to be a Supply Chain link to our client corporations who are in need of one of our economies largest demands: skilled people. So, let's get to know how we work to support you. The CM team is comprised of HR professionals who help your corporation manage your contractor division. The team ensures all legal documents, such as employment contracts for each contractor or sign offs on corporate policies and procedures, have the required certifications and have met the safety standards required by law and the companies are completed and maintained.
Keeping track of all the contractor costs on each project is cumbersome, and ensuring they are paid on time can be a chore and can drown you in additional tasks and stress on your time. Our Contractor Management Division alleviates all these stresses and is your life vest. In fact, like other supply chain roles in the link, our skill sets may look familiar to those job characteristics and skills sought after in supply chain roles. For example, Step is able to work with your team to forecast staffing needs. We have a vast knowledge of the laws and regulations, international business practices, and provide fair pricing to meet your financial plans and budgets surrounding your contractor workforce. We go the extra Step to provide our clients with workflow optimization by ensuring we actively listen then meet or exceed what you asked for using proper, secure, and reliable on boarding and offboarding of your inhouse and field operation contractors. We pride ourselves by taking the time to Step in and work with your field operations supervisors and contractors by offering onsite visits to provide opportunities for field contractors to communicate efficiently and effectively with the Step Contractor Management team. Our contractors have told us, because we have experienced and understand fieldwork, this in itself provides a link potential field contractors value. We can answer the questions your new contractors didn't even know to ask, which saves your corporation time and money with less turnover and higher contractor satisfaction.
Let's not forget the elephant in the room. How do you provide your contractors with an environment where they still feel part of a team? In many cases, the contractor workforce in companies is not part of the various social functions and miss out on the corporate benefits plans. At Step, we can help. We have listened and heard from our contractors, and they feel like they have a sense of belonging and connecting to a work environment with our team. We are happy to work with your contractors and supervisory team also on the day to day inquires that occur, such as HR questions and payroll queries. Delivering answers, support, and solutions is what we do best and is the right Step for your business during this demanding time. We've "Stepped Up" and raised the bar in staffing by being dedicated to exceeding our clients staffing resource needs. We work with highly efficient HRIS systems and have an energetic staff whose experience and credentials provide a worry free experience. We provide a consistent and reliable support to contractors and clients. The Step team looks forward to providing you with the help you need in securing a viable workforce your business can rely on to keep operations functioning.

The Torres Island are the most northerly in Vanuatu. The islands were the last to be reached by explorers in the 19th century.
The group consists of six small islands which stretch for 42km. The highest point is only 200m above sea level. The terrain is less rugged than on the islands further south. The Torres Islands have white sandy beaches, and some good surf at times. The deep Torres Trench lies to the west of the islands, and marks the subduction zone between Australia and the Pacific tectonic plates.
The Torres Islands marks the boundary between betel nut chewing and kava drinking, a cultural distinction between two Melanesian groups.
Two traditional languages are spoken in the Torres Islands. Hiu (150 speakers), and Lo-Toga (650 speakers).

Anna Wolf knows that in art - as in life - nothing is ever truly wasted.
Take new single 'Silence'. On the surface a biting piece of alt-pop that tackles mental health and the bonds between it, it's immaculate conception actually extends back more than a decade.
Half of the song was written seven years ago, while the tongue in cheek rap in the pre-chorus was actually written on the spot in the studio, more of a joke than something serious.
Pieced together it feels innately natural, the clinical production aligned to Anna Wolf's searing vocal. She comments: "It is hard to ignore the cry for help. I knew I had to dedicate a song to my fellow wolves and to let them know that they are not alone. We aren't the stories we tell ourselves, we are merely the observers of."
"The journey of becoming more and more silent in one self is where I feel comfort, as this is where my true self resides. It is a constant practise of course.
" We've grabbed first play of the video, a vivid insight into her world - tune in now.

- MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
No other MacBook Pro models are included in the repair program at this time.
There have been ongoing complaints from MacBook Pro owners about uneven backlighting, though reports have covered machines beyond the 13-inch 2016 MacBook Pro. There has been speculation that the problem is caused by a delicate and easy-to-break flex cable.
Apple says that those with affected machines should find an Apple Authorized Service Provider, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact Apple Support to arrange a mail-in repair.
The Backlight Service Program will be available to MacBook Pro owners for four years after the first retail sale of the unit, or two years from May 21, 2019, whichever is longer. According to internal Apple repair documents, displays with a confirmed backlight issue are eligible for LCD replacement at no charge, including displays that have accidental damage.

Ugh. Why does everything have to be "something-gate"? How about just naming it accurately and descriptively?
Maybe if Apple were proactive about addressing design failures and didn't have to be shamed or threatened into doing so, these issues wouldn't be considered cover ups.
Last week i noticed what appeared to be the stage lighting issue. I closed my lid, went to lunch, and when I returned, no backlight. The warranty ran out on my computer about 3 months ago. So I call Apple tech support, they take some information and eventually refer me to a local Apple store. I take it in, they take a look and tell me that the repair was going to be almost $800. I politely argued that this issue is affecting a larger population than they are acknowledging and ended up arguing my case to the store manager. I had lots of evidence that this issue is a wider issue than just the occasional failure and in the end the manager agreed to have it repaired at Apple's expense.
I'm extremely grateful for the manager and technician at the store level taking pity on me and helping me out. I'm furious with Apple for continually releasing substandard products and treating it's loyal consumers like they are crazy when they complain about hardware failures. I shouldn't have had to argue my case as strongly as I did for an issue that they clearly are aware of.
Why not 2016 15inch models??and 2017 models as well. And I'm hearing some anecdotal evidence that the 2018s are also having this issue. Sometimes the quest for thinner/lighter laptops trumps functionality.
4 weeks ago I closed my computer, reopened it and no backlight. The screen was on but went dim and so did the keyboard back light. Out of warranty and cost me $500. Any idea of this is what's being covered?If I were you, I'd go back to the Apple store and lobby for a refund.

Mayberry to reorganise subsidiary
Mayberry Investments got shareholder approval on Wednesday to reorganise the subsidiary used to make its investments.
The annual general meeting gave the board the go-ahead to review "possible ways" to enhance shareholder value for Mayberry West Indies Limited.
Asked why directors who are entrusted and elected to enhance shareholder value would need shareholder approval to do the same for the subsidiary, CEO Gary Peart said they were acting on the advice of legal counsel Trevor Patterson.
"In instances like these, we refer to the experts, and the experts have advised us accordingly, and we are following their advice," Peart said.
Earlier this year, Mayberry Investments Limited added a new layer that will result in the company's investment portfolio being managed by a related firm controlled by its top shareholders, the Berry siblings.
That management firm, called Mayberry Asset Management Limited (MAML), was incorporated in St Lucia in 2006. Peart previously said the offshore company is a subsidiary of Mayberry with its own board and a small staff operating out of the St Lucia capital, Castries.
Mayberry West Indies Limited is used by MIL as a vehicle for its own investments.
In a deal sealed February 15, but retroactive to January 1, 2017, Mayberry West Indies Limited contracted MAML to manage
its portfolio, according to Mayberry's financial disclosures on the stock market.
Mayberry Investments made $829,000 net profit for its first quarter ending March or 99 per cent less profit than the $93.6 million earned a year earlier. Its total comprehensive income, however, doubled to $520.3 million due to unrealised gains from its investments.
On Wednesday, Mayberry expressed frustration with analysts and journalists who focus on its profit performance, saying they fail to recognise the value of the company's growth as evidenced in its total comprehensive income.
Analysts who want to continue being cutting edge will have to make adjustments in regard to how they view certain companies, Peart said.

Operating successfully in today's restaurant industry is not easy for many reasons:
Competition is growing aggressive with time
Customers are becoming more demanding, and
Food quality can't be compromised.
Simply put, customers today, want to enjoy the a personalized dining experience more than anything else. And from the business point of view, restaurant owners need to make sure they deliver excellent customer experience while maximizing their business profits.
This is where your silent salesperson really helps you the most; yes, we're talking about your restaurant menu design. Your menu is the most important internal marketing and sales tool. In fact, it's the only piece of printed advertisement that is actually read by the guests. Once it is placed in the customer's hands, it can influence the customer regarding, not only what to order, but ultimately, how much they will spend at your establishment. In other words, your restaurant menu design directly influences your sales revenue, so it should be strategic and well-designed.
>> Your menu design can make a major impact on your sales. Find out how here!
According to restaurant consultants who were interviewed by Restaurant Magazine, redesigning a restaurant menu can easily improve sales on average from 2 to 10 percent. If you already have a menu design but it isn't doing wonders for your business in terms of sales or guest loyalty, then it's time to redesign it. And what better way to do that, then to learn from your competitors? Find out how your competitors' silent salesperson is attracting customers and influencing them to spend more and what constitutes a good menu design. Here's what you can learn from your competitors:
Item Placement: Take a look at how your competitors have placed items on their menu. Analysts say that people mostly remember and buy the first 2 items or the last menu item in each menu category. Therefore, the best strategy is to place menu items with the highest gross profits in these places on the menu.
Pricing Lay Down: View how your competitors list prices. When skimming through the menu, people often look at the price first before they order. How you communicate prices in the menu can really help you make more sales. What leading industry players do is that they move prices into their menu descriptions to avoid price shopping by customers. This helps customers focus on the dishes, not their prices.
Graphics: "A picture speaks more than a thousand words" may be a cliché but is key to an effective menu design. Graphics can set items apart and increase sales dramatically because visuals have greater impact than words.
Page Positioning: Studies show that on 3-panel menus, customers often look at the center panel first and then they move counter clockwise. However, on 2-panel menus people look at the top right hand side first. Use this observation strategically to your advantage by putting your high profit items on these positions, such as your specials.
Menu Headings: Try using creative menu headings to engage guests. Plus, it also helps to highlight different types of foods in the menu. You can use headings like 'Our Specialties' instead of 'Entrees' which is quite generic.
>> Your menu design can make a major impact on your sales. Find out how here!
Know Your Customers: If your target customers are children, then try using appealing fonts and artwork on your menu to draw their attention. If your customers are adults over 50, then keep the typeface of your menu large enough so that it's easy to read. Font selection also has a lot to do with the personality and atmosphere of the restaurant. For example, the font used for a casual restaurant environment shouldn't be the same as the font used for a high-end restaurant environment where price points are higher.
Box Your Items: Research shows that boxed items on the menu get more orders as they draw more attention. Try boxing high profit items on your menus. However, don't get carried away because too many boxes as well as badly designed boxes can defeat the purpose as they can make your menu design cluttered.
Keep It Clean: Keep your restaurant menu design clean; don't fear white space. White space allows the eyes to pause and rest; and a clean menu design is much easier to read.
Brand It: Make sure your design aligns with your restaurant's brand image. After all, it is your business marketing tool. You can use similar colors or philosophy to design your menu to ensure it communicates your business message and makes a strong impact.
Impactful Copy: Mouthwatering descriptions are important to get the customers excited. However, make sure it also includes ingredients because picky eaters want more than just creative descriptions; they want to know exactly what ingredients are being used.
A menu design is one of your restaurant's most important marketing tools. Your menu goes beyond the food you offer, it communicates the essence of your brand, the personality of your restaurant and, ultimately the type of experience your guests are getting.

He was the sparring partner of St Columba, but he had the advantage of being both a Gaelic and a Pictish speaker which allowed him the more favourable position of communicating with ease with the whole population of Northern Scotland.
In the North East he is associated with the founding of churches at Clatt, Migvie and Tarland. He is said to have had a muinntir (community) at Clova near Lumsden. There is also on the south side of the Tap O' Noth a stone called St Moluag's Chair. Tradition claimed that he died in 592 AD and was buried at Rosemarkie. It is for these reasons that the walk is following a particular route.
At one point in my early ministry I served as priest at the great church of Ness in Lewis, An Teampuil Mor which was dedicated to St Moluag.
All along the way I am being assisted by Sea Cadets from the Aberdeen, Moray, Inverness, Lochaber and Oban Units. They will ferry me across the appropriate stretches of water. In his journeying Moluag would have used water as a means of transport. Meeting Sea Cadets will give me opportunity of dialoguing with young people. I am the Northern Area Padre for the Sea Cadets and the walk will give me chance to talk with the youngsters in the various units across the North. At one point, in Lochaber I shall be blessing new boats!
I am grateful to my walking companion Steven Boon, who is a member of the Vestry at St Margaret's and also a great source of enthusiasm.
When we arrive in Lismore, where the mission of St Moluag in Scotland began, we shall be met by Niall, Coarb of St Moluag, who holds the crozier of St Moluag as the symbol of his office. Niall will be giving us a lift back to Aberdeen, and the crozier will be at St Margaret's (10.30am) and also St Andrew's Cathedral (6.30pm) on Sunday the 18th of May.
In addition the Rev'd Kate Gibson has painted an icon of St Moluag, which will be carried in procession at the Cathedral by Steven, and Bill Brown has translated a Latin office hymn to St Moluag from the Aberdeen Breviary and set it to music. You will find articles by Niall, Kate and Bill in this news release.
Last, but not least the whole idea is to raise awareness about St Andrew's Cathedral and the need for its restoration. This building is unique and very much conveys the Arts and Crafts Movement of the Early 20th Century. Sir Ninian Comper took the best designs from Old Aberdeen and recreated them in the new redesigned Cathedral in King Street. He created an architectural and liturgical gem full of theological and sacramental symbolism, which must be preserved for future generations. The building very much makes a statement about communicating the faith in our contemporary world.
Comper believed that, as did his friend the Doyen of Féycamp Abbey in Normandy, that 'a church should pray of itself'. The Cathedral possesses that. Others have to experience that. Let the building speak, but above all pray.
Please give generously to this appeal. You too can walk with me in the in the steps of Moluag by assisting me in this project. All donations will be gratefully received.

Deco Details: Photographs by Andrew Bordwin
Click here to view a slideshow of images from the exhibit.
Art Deco is an international-style movement developed in the 1920s that grew in importance through the 1930s and '40s. It is characterized by bold lines, geometric shapes, lavish ornamentation, and vibrant colors. To this day, Art Deco evokes the exuberance of the machine age with its faith in social and technological progress. The movement's quintessential expression is its architecture, the most iconic examples being the Chrysler and Empire State buildings in New York City.
Andrew Bordwin has been photographing Art Deco buildings in New York and Europe for twenty years. While the silhouettes of the buildings are familiar to those passing by, the magnificence of the detail is generally lost to viewers at street level. Bordwin's stunning silver gelatin prints transport us to the tops of buildings and inside closed lobbies, allowing us to experience the iconography and craftsmanship of these early-twentieth-century masterpieces.
Deftly balancing the clarity of great documentary photography with distinctive artistic expression, Bordwin shoots his subjects straightforwardly, capturing their rhythms and proportions without adding layers of sentimental or romantic longing for a bygone era. His images possess their own internal logic and materiality, and with their finely shaded gray tones, the prints appear to glow from within, much like the chrome buildings themselves glow when struck by sunlight. Viewing thus becomes a double pleasure, as we experience both the Deco buildings' details and Bordwin's photographs.
— Mara Williams, Chief Curator

Ends Meet, published by Critical Writing in Art and Design students at the Royal College of Art. With Andrew Brash.
Ends Meet is a collection of essays written by graduating CWAD students at RCA on the wide theme of exchange. Texts include topics such as prisoners exchange in Israel and Palestine, exchanging heat for words, lyrics concerning money in rap songs or the telephone exchange.
As Andrew says, 'The book is designed as a warped financial document or micro Bureau de Change that hints at the various transactions (economic, legal, creative, emotional etc.) involved in its production, distribution and ownership and attempts to question itself as object of value and exchange.'

In Manila Ocean Park, the place to watch for Bird Show is same place with Sea Lion Show.
When we went to see the Bird Show, it was getting start and all good seats were occupied so we did not get a good seat to enjoy the show. We sat some near with the show.
First, the staff put a ball into one of the cups. I did not know what is the name of the things so I call it cup. Then keep turning the cups. After that he let the parrots to have a guess. Wow, the parrots knew where the ball at is.
Second was the birds' ball competition. These two birds need to compete with each other to see who is the faster to throw the ball into the ball net like basketball.
Third was also competition between birds. They needed to put all the rings into the stand. The faster will be the winner. One of the birds is so clever because it took all the rings into the stand in one go instead of one by one.
Forth was shape recognition. The bird need to put the shape into the block accordingly such as triangle, square, circle and diamond shape.
Fifth was about mathematic. Do you believe the bird know how to calculate. The staff asked the audience to give the number for bird to count. You can see how the bird solves the mathematic equation by watch the video as below:-
Sixth was the interacting between birds with audiences. The staff wanted a man as volunteer. The man needed to take his money on his hand. After a while, a bird came to take away the man's money. It is so clever that put the money into a donation box.
After that, the staff needed for a lady as volunteer. The lady did not know the coming task and wait for the coming bird. Who know, the coming animal is not a bird but a snake. Before this, the staffs kept finding the coming animals because it was missing. The snake was at a secret place at audience side so when the staff found the snake, the audience who sat beside secret place were screaming. When saw the snake, the lady was so afraid. Lastly, the lady let the snake put on her body.
The last was recycling part, the bird knew to throw the tin into recycle bin in order to save our earth.

ROME — A court in Florence on Thursday convicted a Senegalese migrant of murdering an American woman who was strangled and beaten in her Florence apartment early this year.
The migrant, Cheik Tidiane Diaw, was sentenced to 30 years in prison in the death of the woman, Ashley Ann Olsen, a 35-year-old from Summer Haven, Fla., whom he met at a nightclub on Jan. 7. Prosecutors had asked for a life sentence, the strongest possible punishment in Italy.
"Hard to say we are happy. But we gave Justice to Ashley's family!" Ms. Olsen's lawyer, Michele Capecchi, said in a post on Twitter on Thursday. "Priceless satisfaction for the verdict."
Ms. Olsen was a well-known figure in the international art community in Florence, where she had moved to join her father, an architecture and art teacher.
Investigators said Mr. Diaw and Ms. Olsen, whose body was found by her boyfriend, had consensual sex before she was killed, and the circumstances surrounding her death unnerved the city.
Investigators and prosecutors pointed to an abundance of evidence that they said proved that Mr. Diaw, 27, was the killer: Witnesses saw him and Ms. Olsen leaving a nightclub, street cameras recorded video of them returning to her apartment and traces of his DNA were found on a cigarette stub and a condom in her apartment.
An investigation into her death found that Ms. Olsen suffered skull fractures before she was strangled.
A DNA analysis concluded that the two had been the only people in the apartment at the time of her death, and investigators also alleged that Mr. Diaw, who was in the country illegally, had stolen Ms. Olsen's cellphone and used it.

Native Nectar - Organic Vodka
by Elizabeth Freeman on 04/22/2015 | 1 Minute Read
A very premium product needs a premium labelling to really stand out. The design of the Native Nectar Organic Vodka branding definitely does this job really well. Commenting on the brief, the team that worked on this branding at Chad Michael Studio said "The goal with the design was to be strong and pure while showcasing the handcrafted nature of the product in an unexpected, more luxurious way."The gold foil, embossing and use of typography are very premium and elegantly elevate the bottle and its content.

Greeneville, TN – Sophomore Joshua Hopwood earned his first career Top 5 finish, leading the North Greenville men's golf team to a fourth place overall finish in the Tusculum Fall Classic
Lincoln Memorial took home the team title in the field of 12 teams with a two-day total score of 283-279-562, eight strokes ahead of host school Tusculum College (292-278-570) and 13 strokes ahead of third place Lenoir-Rhyne University (289-286-575). North Greenville (301-284-585), Tennessee Wesleyan (294-291-585) and UNC Pembroke (292-293-285) each tied for fourth place overall in the team standings.
The individual title was given to Lincoln Memorial's Connor Froning who earned the top spot with a two-round total of 67-69-136 to edge out second place finisher John White (69-69-138) of Lenoir Rhyne. Hopwood led all Crusaders with a tied for fifth place overall with a two-day total of 71-70-141, the first Top 5 finish of his young career.
Danny Dippel (75-71-146) and Tucker MacDonald (76-70-146) each finished in a tie for 17th overall, while Jacob Harris shot an 81-73-154 to tie for 50th overall in his first tournament of the season. Sam Goodnight finished in 60th place with a score of 79-80-159 to round out the individual scoring the North Greenville.
The Crusaders will be on the course again on Oct. 15-16 when they travel to Pineville, KY to compete in the Lincoln Memorial Fall Invitational.

Best Cost-Leadership Strategy Examples
Cost-leadership does not mean selling inferior and poorly made products and services at the lowest prices. We have seen low-cost leaders with poor quality disappear quickly. Think of the Yugo vehicle that sold in the United States for about $4,000 in the 1980s and the fact the car company left North America in the early 1990's and then shut down entirely in 2008. An inexpensive car that didn't have reliability didn't make it.
Let's look at a few cost-leaders who understand that their products and services must be good quality at a low price and not just low price. One example is Payless ShoeSource which sells name-brand, high-quality shoes at low prices. They have figured out that people want good quality shoes and they want them at a discount.
Certainly, when discussing cost-leadership you must also look at Walmart which has become the largest company in the world selling low price and high-quality goods. Walmart buys what they sell at the lowest prices due to their high volume and then passing the savings to their consumers. This is an example of a company using economies of scale. Walmart has mastered efficient operations and is able to function with smaller profit margins very well.
In some markets, consumers prefer to pay a little more to enjoy the name brands they are familiar with. Think of Coca-Cola and Budweiser as examples.
Cost-leadership can be an effective business strategy if your company can provide low prices while maintaining good quality.

End Water Poverty – Blog Action Day 2010
Blog Action Day is an annual event that unites the world's bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day. The aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion around an important issue that impacts us all. This is my forth year participating in Blog Action Day, with the topic this year being "Water".
Nearly one billion people in the world today don't have access to clean water and 42,000 people die each week from water-borne diseases. And the issue doesn't stop there – water availability impacts a wide variety of issues from the environment to women's rights and from technology to fashion.
End Water Poverty
I decided to share some information about the issue with my readers by pointing them to the EndWaterPoverty.org website which does an excellent job of detailing the issue while providing information on how you can take action to do your part to end water poverty.
The facts: Currently, a staggering 2.6 billion people live without a safe toilet and 884 million people lack access to clean water. These problems combine to make a massive crisis for developing countries – undermining health, education, economic and gender equality progress.

I have been after a winter coat which crosses over from horses to city for ages. I wanted something which I could wear out while spectating at equestrian events and yet would look equally at home on the streets of London. I was pretty determined it was not going to be tweed as I think the whole look has become tired, often poorly done and on a practical level tweed will often smell especially when it gets wet. Quilted coats were big last year but this year it's the turn of waxed jackets!
This is why I was particularly excited to get my hands on the new Toggi Aylesbury Jacket. It fitted the criteria I was after – it was waxed, it has a heritage background, it was fitted, it will do a dual job of country to city and it has a nod to biker styling which fits in with how I dress outside of horses.
There is currently a revival in heritage motor bikes. Brands like Triumph, Norton and Belstaff have seen a lot of coverage this year through different fashion collaborations and along with the biker and combat boot trend which seems to be around for another season on the high street, this jacket fits in perfectly.
Country clothing can often be slow to move with the times but more and more we are seeing classic British brands doing something new like Hunter, Barbour and Toggi. There is always an air of practicality needed with country clothing but there is no reason that clothing cannot be stylish and practical.
The jacket has been admired at work (I work in buying for a large retailer) where it works well with my wardrobe and a variety of footwear and I know it will work at equestrian events where I am often spectating with my standard wear of skinny jeans with country boots.
I tend to take a size 14-16 in coats so I can get a thicker jumper under if needed in the cold of winter. I have an XL in this coat. The coat has two side straps which means you can clinch the waist in which gives it a more fitted look and with this addition the XL looks fine and retains the fitted look that I wanted. The coat comes with two good sized front pockets for stowing stuff when you don't want to carry a bag particularly at horse events.
Inside the jacket is a really nice ditsy print which is a great addition to the jacket rather than something plain. What I really love about this jacket though is the collar. That is the bit that sold it to me and for me makes it a jacket which will cross over from country to city.
The jacket is short so if you want something which will cover your bum then this is not the jacket for you! But it's flattering and fitted and I am far from slim. Even better it has long cuffs as I often struggle with the arm length being long enough. The Aylesbury is lightweight to wear which for me is a massive benefit as I hate heavy coats which many waxed jackets often are.
I know from my mother's collection of old Toggi coats which are still doing the job that this jacket should last the test of time. It even comes with a tin of wax so you can re-proof it when needed.
The big question is does it offer value for money? In my opinion it does. I want a product which can be worn daily, will carry on looking great in a couple of years' time and is classically stylish. I think this jacket ticks all three boxes.
