1971 Jaguar
1971 Jaguar XKE Series II Fixed Head Coupe
How do yo spell sexy with three letters? The answer is XKE. When the E Type Jaguar was launched in March 1961 at the Geneva Motor show it attracted the attention of the whole world like no other car ever had ever done before. With its stunning sleek bodywork, ground breaking performance & impressive handling it astonished all. Could a car like this really be available for nearly half the price of Aston Martins DB4? Jaguar's founder William Lyons, had with his designer & aerodynamicist Malcom Sayer, and engineering director William Heynes, created what was to become the greatest motoring legend of all time. And here is your opportunity to enjoy an outstanding rendering of that legend today.
This example is is fitted with the original 4.2 litre version of the well proven 6 cylinder double overhead camshaft XK engine, and is driven through a four speed manual Moss gearbox. Suspension is independent all round. The rear suspension features twin coil spring and damper units either side was, along with the differential and inboard rear brake assemblies, mounted in a cradle that was attached to the cars shell via insulated rubber bushes and stabilised by sturdy radius arms. Inside this fine car you will find leather seats and fully comprehensive instrumentation that is beautifully laid out on the sports black and aluminium dashboard, with an odometer reading of only 50k miles. This is all complimented by a wood rim sports steering wheel to guide Jaguars responsive rack & pinion steering. The first road tests further helped to promote the E Type's virtues, with a top speed of 153mph being attained along with standing quarter mile and 0 - 60mph times of 15 seconds & 6.7 seconds respectively. The E type maintained Jaguars very respectable reputation in motor sport and as manufacturer of quality performance cars.

This truck has never been waxed since purchasing it new 3 years ago according to the owner. This was very evident the minute water hit the surface.
Wheels were cleaned with a brightener (more on this to come... check back later on this blog for more details on this product) and a pressure washer (no mechanical agitation).
A diluted degreaser was used to strip the paint via PW-er. The paint was then clayed.
Polishing was a one-step polish using Optimum Compound and a Lake Country Green CCS pad at about 1,200 rpm. (Optimum Compound was the miracle polish for me this week! It seemed like it is able to cure just about any defect from light swirls to Mesothelioma!)
We finished it off with Poorboy's EX as an LSP. This worked fantastic!
This is some powerful stuff!
This spot was damaged when the bug deflector came loose at high speeds at did a number on the hood!
This area was buffed to a flawless shine.
The results!

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Following through on its promises to open source much of its .NET development platform, Microsoft has added more elements to the GitHub release of .NET Core. "We got the initial framework out there, and people were asking when are the lower- level runtime features going to show up," explained Microsoft's Jay Schmelzer. The latest update adds the .NET garbage collector, the Just-In-Time compiler and the execution engine.
In related news, Microsoft also announced that it will hold a virtual .NET development conference called dotnetConf 2015 March 18 and 19.

We're a married couple in our mid 40s – Marc is a Colorado native, born and bred in Golden, Julie is an Australian who has been living in the USA since moving to Colorado in 2008.
In 2014, we sold our home and moved into a Class A motorhome to travel, work and live a more meaningful life – rich with experiences instead of things. This lifestyle has proven to be more rewarding than we ever imagined and one of the greatest gifts has been the people we meet along the way.
We are both optimists, create and live our lives in line with our values and enjoy sharing our stories, photos and videos in the hope of inspiring others to do the same!
We love sharing our experiences, travels, tips and learnings with others along the way.
We mostly stay in campgrounds (Thousand Trails) but we also enjoy boondocking when we get the chance and being in quieter, more natural environments.
Marc - health and fitness (he was a judge and program manager for Bill Phillips Body-for-LIFE program for 10 years). He's also very handy with fixing things and a qualified massage therapist! He is also a bit of an RV guru these days and a handy guy to have around!
Julie - an experienced writer, blogger, marketer and social media maven. Lifestyle coach and personal development coach who has worked and traveled with many international spiritual teachers and authors. Produces the content for our blog and YouTube channel.
Our first real boondocking experience was in Yuma, Arizona (Winterhaven, CA to be precise), followed by Quartzsite then Lake Havasu. Our fave boondocking location was near Bryce Canyon in a spot we probably would not recommend most RVers try to go unless they are a truck and travel trailer! We took it easy and made it - the location was beautiful. We were alone and camped right by the red rocks, amazing. Another face location was actually at a rest stop in Kansas on I70 just 7 miles west of Colorado - they allow overnight parking and the stars were unbelievable - the best we have ever seen.We have stayed in Quartzsite several times as well as Forest Road 525 in Sedona and Lake Shastina in CA - which recently removed the ability to overnight, sadly.
Marc grew up in Golden, CO, Julie is originally from Australia (grew up just north of Sydney) and moved to Boulder, CO in 2008.
A 2012 Tiffin 35QBA - it's 35 feet 10 inches in length and has 4 slides (but we don't need to pop them in order to stay, if space is limited). We can be fully self contained, but ideally would love to be able to run an extension cord to hook up to power, if possible. If not, we can fire up the generator if needed - or not if that will bother you. We also tow a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. You can also check out pix of our rig at www.rvlove.com

Though he appeared in only nine games for the Cardinals, Doug Clarey is a part of franchise lore because of an improbable home run.
On April 28, 1976, Clarey produced the only hit of his big-league career, a two-run home run in the 16th inning that gave the Cardinals a 4-2 victory over the Giants.
The storybook feat occurred on a Wednesday afternoon at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, just north of Clarey's boyhood home in Los Altos. Among the 4,193 in attendance were Clarey's parents and friends.
"It's something you always dream about ever since I was a little boy watching the Giants play and just wishing I could be one of them," Clarey told The Sporting News.
Just a few days before his dramatic home run, Clarey had been playing in the Class A Florida State League.
Called by Cards
Clarey, a second baseman, began his professional career in the Twins organization. The Cardinals claimed him in the December 1974 minor-league draft.
After hitting .206 for the Cardinals' Class AA Arkansas club in 1975, Clarey was demoted to Class A St. Petersburg in 1976.
He got a break when Cardinals second baseman Mike Tyson suffered a knee injury in early April 1976.
Though Vic Harris came off the bench to replace Tyson as the starting second baseman, the Cardinals wanted someone who could fill in as a reserve fielder for a few weeks. Clarey, known more for his glove than his bat, fit the need.
On April 20, 1976, his 22nd birthday, Clarey made his big-league debut. Batting in the sixth inning for pitcher Mike Wallace, Clarey faced Jon Matlack of the Mets and struck out. Boxscore
Stay fair
Eight days later, at San Francisco, Clarey got his second at-bat.
In the 16th inning, with the score tied at 2-2, the Cardinals' Don Kessinger on first base and two outs, manager Red Schoendienst sent Clarey to bat for pitcher Mike Proly against Giants left-hander Mike Caldwell.
With the count at 1-and-1, Caldwell delivered a low, inside pitch and Clarey lifted the ball over the left-field fence.
"At first, I thought it was going to hook foul," Clarey told the Oakland Tribune. "I kept saying to myself, 'Stay fair, stay fair.' "
Danny Frisella retired the Giants in order in the bottom half of the 16th, saving the victory and securing Clarey's place in Cardinals legend. Boxscore
Clarey: "That's the greatest experience of my life right there. I just wanted to get a piece of the ball."
Caldwell: "That was the lowest point of my career."
Bill Rigney, Giants manager: "Mike got it inside and his game is away. He made a bad pitch."
(After the season, the Giants traded Caldwell to the Cardinals.)
Hailing a hero
In the Oakland Tribune, Ed Schoenfeld wrote of Clarey, "He's a virtual unknown, even to his own teammates."
The Sporting News referred to Clarey as the Cardinals' "Cinderella Man."
When the Cardinals returned to St. Louis, the club rewarded Clarey for his achievement by presenting him with a watch in a pre-game ceremony, according to a Society for American Baseball Research biography.
Clarey appeared in one more game, May 4 vs. the Braves, before being returned to the minor leagues. He hit .228 in 63 games for manager Ken Boyer's Class AAA Tulsa team.
Thanks, Mike
In July, Tyson got hurt again, breaking a finger, and the Cardinals called back Clarey.
Tyson to Clarey: "I'm keeping you in the big leagues. You ought to give me half your pay."
Clarey: "I guess I'd better buy Mike a dinner."
In his second stint with the 1976 Cardinals, Clarey appeared in five games but didn't get a hit.
End of the line
In March 1977, the Cardinals traded Clarey to the Mets for outfielder Benny Ayala. The Mets assigned Clarey to Class AAA Tidewater and he batted .125 in 28 games before he was released. Clarey signed with the Brewers and was assigned to Class AA Holyoke.
In 1978, his last season as a player, Clarey joined the Orioles' organization and hit .226 in 138 games for Class AA Charlotte.
His final big-league numbers for the Cardinals: nine games, four at-bats, one hit.

Further to my post about my first Bikram yoga experience, I am providing some tips for those who wish to try Bikram yoga for the first time. As with any new experience, you may have questions, fears, or other reasons for delaying in beginning your practice. These tips that I learned from my first class (and subsequent ones) will hopefully bring further clarity about what to expect. I wish I had these available to me my first time around!
Your first Bikram yoga experience can certainly be daunting. And chances are, while there will be other beginners and first-timers around, there will also be many tried-and-true followers of Bikram yoga in your first class…so, it can be a bit intimidating.
To be more prepared, look to these basics of what to do, what to bring, and what to expect when you enter a Bikram yoga studio.
- Arrive 10 minutes early to class. This allows you to secure a spot, warm up and focus, and is courteous to your instructor and fellow class-takers.
- Do not eat too close to the time of your class. You should arrive on a mostly-empty stomach.
- Dress minimally. It gets hot, and you will certainly sweat within 5 minutes of class. Most women wear sports bras and shorts or bathing suit bottoms. Men in shorts only. (I prefer to sweat a bit more, so I often wear long sleeves and pants, though you should check with your instructor first, since some do not allow long sleeves/pants).
- No shoes or socks are allowed in the studio. Typically, there is a locker room where you can leave everything. Bring only yourself, your mat, towels and water into the studio.
- There will be a mirror at the front (and sometimes the sides) of the room, and lines on the carpeting on the floor. (See photo above). Find a place on the floor so that the vertical center of your mat rests on one of these lines. This allows for optimal placing of all participants and maximizes space in the room.
- Your instructor will likely recommend that more seasoned practitioners sit in the front of the room toward the mirror, while beginniners stick in the back.
- Bring water, but no other liquids into the room, and do not bring glass containers. While I like to bring my SIGG, it can sometimes get a bit too hot to actually pick up with my hands. Take sips only between poses, not during.
- Bring your own yoga mat and two towels. Most studios provide both, typically with a charge of $1 each.
- Don't be self-conscious! While you think that everyone around you might be staring (and trust me, some of these classes can get pretty crowded), the reality is that others are so focused on their own practice and on themselves that they don't notice what you are doing. So, do not be afraid to move and practice the poses freely!
- Breathe! The breath is a huge part of Bikram yoga, as with other yoga and exercise. Breathing allows you to bring oxygen to your muscles and organs that are working for you, and also helps with detox. Your instructor will remind you of the breath during your practice, and will instruct you on proper breathing technique at the beginning of the practice.
- Do not talk in the studio before, during, or after class. This is courteous to your fellow classmates and helps to maintain your own focus and concentration.

Independent research firm Forrester Research expects the global cloud computing market to reach $241 billion in 2020 compared to $40.7 in 2010, according to a new Forrester report called "Sizing the Cloud". The report aims to provide insights into the future market size of cloud computing segment while trying to predict market growth dynamics in a new IT environment driven by rapidly growing number of cloud computing services and applications.
Forrester's report provides market forecast on 12 different market segments for the next decade, forecasting shifts in the usage patterns of cloud infrastructure, business applications for the cloud and cloud platforms that are becoming increasingly widespread.
According to Sizing the Cloud report, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offers more growth opportunity than any other segment in the still largely vague market for cloud computing services. SaaS will retain its position as a leading segment in cloud computing with SaaS market growing three-fold to $92.8 billion by 2016, the report said. In contrast, Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) will witness a rapid growth in the next few years but Forrester expects dynamic infrastructure services to perform better than IaaS in the long term.

Youth Mental Health Gets a Boost on Bowen
On July 13th, Kevin Manning of First Credit Union proudly presented Colleen O'Neil of Caring Circle with a cheque for $2768.70 for youth mental health on Bowen. This was part of the mental health week earlier in the year and the First Credit Union team topped up the $2500 donation with proceeds from a week long bake sale. It was presented with thanks to Colleen and her team and all they do for the health of the community. A big thank you also to the First Credit team and all the members who contributed.
Collaborative Health Centre Sought
Colleen O'Neil has been working to build better health-care support as part of the Medical Clinic Society on Bowen.
She sees a dire need for a health centre so that islanders don't have to leave the island when they feel least like commuting into town for health services. O'Neil is flabbergasted that it would appear to Vancouver Coastal Health that we are well-served on Bowen when it comes to medical services as a result of their own survey "My Health, My Community."
"However, we went in depth and drilled down into their results with a 39-page survey. Our survey showed that while 85 per cent of us have a GP, (general practitioner or family doctor) only 32 per cent use a GP on the island. It would seem like we are well-served here, but we are not."
Here is a link to the slide presentation produced by the Health Centre Society to council on January 18, 2016. Please refer to this presentation for more detailed survey results:

Late last week Microsoft released some early drivers for the Xbox One's Kinect to work on Windows 10. Kinect within Windows, for now, is mostly for developers to code and write things for the multi-usage sensor, but for consumers there is one thing you can do right now: Windows Hello for facial recognition with system logins.
We picked up the $50 conversion kit that Microsoft sells through their store and gave it a spin. Here are our quick thoughts and a hands-on video.
Here is what you need to know:
- Windows Hello works very well
- You cannot yet use Kinect as a web camera for Skype or any other Windows app
- You will need a tripod or shelf to mount the Kinect if using it for your PC
- You need a USB 3.0 port and some extra power in your PC
- The Kinect still needs to plug into an AC outlet too
- The wires are all very cumbersome
The bottom line is if you are not a developer Kinect for Windows 10 is still very much a novelty. Sure, you can use it for Windows Hello, and it works great, but you will have to spend some time hiding wires and finding someplace to stick the rather bulky accessory.
Seeing as Kinect on Windows 10 is still very new and only in an early release we hope to see it become more useful on Windows 10 going forward. However, it'll probably be some time before we see this being utilized in any standard sense. For developers, however, this is all very good news and should be exciting.
How to setup
You will need the following to make this work if you are still interested:
- Kinect sensor from Xbox One or Kinect for Windows Developer Bundle ($199)
- Kinect Adapter for Windows ($50) (Not need if buying the Developer Bundle)
- Simple registry edits to enable the Kinect drivers to be downloaded
- Buy Kinect adapter for Windows from http://Amazon.com?tag=wpcentralb-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUdUnU36250 for $50
- But Kinect for Windows kit for $199 from Microsoft
To modify the system registry, you need to add just a few subkeys as directed by Microsoft. No restart is needed. As always, heed caution when making changes in your system registry:
- Open the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
- Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\
- Create subkeys \DriverFlighting\Partner\
- Under \Partner subkey, create a string named "TargetRing" and key-in "Drivers" as the value.
- Exit from the Windows Registry Editor. You do not need to restart the computer after this change.
- Run the Windows Update application and check for updates, or in the Device Manager, right-click the target device and select Update Device Software.
- Verify your test driver is offered as expected.
Once complete, you can then head to Settings to being using Windows Hello. Just read our simple guide on how to use Windows Hello.
How to set up Windows Hello facial recognition in Windows 10
The overall setup process is very easy, but as mentioned above usage scenarios for non-developers is limited at this time.

What happens now that human population has outpaced biological natural selection? Two leading scientists reveal how we became who we are—and what we might become.
What happens now that human population has outpaced biological natural selection? Two leading scientists reveal how we became who we are—and what we might become.
When you think of evolution, the picture that most likely comes to mind is a straight-forward progression, the iconic illustration of a primate morphing into a proud, upright human being. But in reality, random events have played huge roles in determining the evolutionary histories of everything from lions to lobsters to humans. However, random genetic novelties are most likely to become fixed in small populations. It is mathematically unlikely that this will happen in large ones. With our enormous, close-packed, and seemingly inexorably expanding population, humanity has fallen under the influence of the famous (or infamous) "bell curve." Ian Tattersall and Rob DeSalle's revelatory new book explores what the future of our species could hold, while simultaneously revealing what we didn't become—and what we won't become. A cognitively unique species, and our actions fall on a bell curve as well. Individual people may be saintly or evil; generous or grasping; narrow-minded or visionary. But any attempt to characterize our species must embrace all of its members and so all of these antitheses. It is possible not just for the species, but for a single individual to be all of these things—even in the same day. We all fall somewhere within the giant hyperspace of the human condition that these curves describe. The Accidental Homo Sapiens shows readers that though humanity now exists on this bell curve, we are far from a stagnant species. Tattersall and DeSalle reveal how biological evolution in modern humans has given way to a cultural dynamic that is unlike anything else the Earth has ever witnessed, and that will keep life interesting—perhaps sometimes too interesting—for as long as we exist on this planet.
Ian Tattersall is Curator Emeritus in the Division of Anthropology of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The author of many books, including the widely praised Masters of the Planet, he is often interviewed about human evolution in the media and speaks around the world. He is the winner of numerous awards, and lives in Greenwich Village.
Rob DeSalle is a curator in the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics and professor at the Richard Gilder Graduate School at the American Museum of Natural History. He is the author of The Science of Jurassic Park and the Lost World (with David Lindley, 1997) and the coauthor of Welcome to the Microbiome: Getting to Know the Trillions of Bacteria and Other Microbes In, On, and Around You (2015), among others.

"A lively addition to the literature on the 'unfathomable mystery' of human beings. Tattersall and DeSalle deliver a highly learned lesson in what we do and don't inherit from our parents. A concise and useful book of evolutionary science." Kirkus Reviews
"Looking at the role of chance in human evolution, the authors argue that the species has tremendous potential to change its behavior." New York Times Book Review
"Admirable and lucid. A necessary corrective to the notion that the human individual is fully subordinate to genes and evolution." Shelf Awareness
"A brilliant and engaging account that illuminates and inspires. Read Tattersall and you will not see yourself, let alone our entire species, in the same way again." Neil Shubin, author of Your Inner Fish (Past Praise for Ian Tattersall)
"Tattersall and DeSalle are boundlessly curious naturalists." Neil deGrasse Tyson (Past praise for Ian Tattersall and Rob DeSalle)
"Quietly magnificent." The Atlantic, runner-up for the Best Book of the Year (Praise for Masters of the Planet)

Lessons From the Fire, by Victor Cezar Boyadjian
This article appears in the Spring 2019 edition of the Latin America Policy Journal released on April 2019. You can order the edition here.
Five months after the shameful fire at the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro, no conclusive investigation has been published. An exhibition early this year marked the rebirth of part of the collection that was saved from ashes.
History teaches us that human wisdom has been developed around fire. Not only does it provide heat, light, and protection, but it also enlightens our imagination. Spend a few minutes in front of a campfire and you will inadvertently begin to reflect on life. For the good, and for the bad. Last year, Brazilians were forced to stare at a painful fire – one that brought, yet again, clarity about our failures in protecting the very same human wisdom.
The fire at the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro, in September 2018, consumed more than what was visible to the eye. What we saw in flames was already valuable in itself. On fire, the largest Latin American collection of natural history: artifacts of ethnology, archaeology, bioanthropology, paleontology, paleobotany, geology, and zoology were destroyed. In flames, the work of many researchers, burnt fragments of historical documents, books, and theses flying miles away – spreading throughout the city of Rio de Janeiro. Among the intangible losses were several other layers of history: the museum once visited by Marie Curie and Albert Einstein was previously the palace where the Brazilian imperial family lived during the 19th century; before that, it belonged to a slave trader from the colonial period, built on indigenous territory that was native to at least three different tribes.[i]
The real value of the museum deserves much more than the vagueness of the word "inestimable." But in fact, for many Brazilians, this is the only word that exists. After all, how do you estimate the value of something you ignore? During the fire and in the hours after the tragedy, social networks were infested with comments such as "museums are a waste of public money," "this is not necessary for the population," and "I did not even know of the existence of this museum." Even the current president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, then candidate for the post, when questioned about the incident at the time, responded, "It's already done, it's already on fire, what do you want me to do?"[ii]
It is true that for other Brazilians, the value of what was lost was perfectly estimable. They are researchers who have seen their work of several decades indefinitely disrupted, natives who have struggled to overcome the firefighters' blockade in a desperate attempt to salvage sacred artifacts from their ancestors, and unquestionably all those who are stubborn in a Sisyphean effort to preserve our memory. For them, the feeling of humiliation is "inestimable." For me, witnessing this abject episode in the history of Brazil was particularly painful, for it happened on the eve of me attending Harvard classes, surrounded by similar academic, historical, and cultural wealth which was then vanishing in my country.
Until today it is not known whether it was an arson or not. Police authorities promised the investigation would finish by the end of January 2019.[iii] The reasons for the spread of fire, however, are indisputable: naturally, most of the material of the structure of that old historic building, as well as the collections themselves, are flammable. But other serious factors contributed to this tragedy, as the museum that recently turned 200 years old still awaits the transfer of public funds to invest in the creation of a system to combat fires.[iv] At the moment of the fire, there was no water available – as if water would be the best way to protect such delicate artifacts against these threats.[v] Fact: to this day, five months later, people who work on the restoration report that the water supply is still frequently cut off at the museum, compromising their efforts.
In Brazil, the precarious situation of fundamental places for academic research is not uncommon. Just to mention some of the losses of this century, we already saw the Portuguese Language Museum in Sao Paulo burn in flames,[vi] and even our only research station in Antarctica is gone.[vii] Such precariousness is also not exclusive to Brazil. Developing countries face the dilemma of smaller budgets; therefore, they struggle with the decision of whether to invest their limited financial resources in science and technology, or to areas equally urgent to the public interest: education, health, and security.[viii] It is not by chance that many of us, Latin Americans, seek to fulfill our academic goals outside of our countries of origin.
Every year, dozens of Brazilians and hundreds of students from developing countries attend Harvard, expecting to pursue the bright path to leadership positions upon returning home. Throughout this experience, we are constantly exposed to the fact that knowledge, although expensive, has an immeasurable value. We have, therefore, an obligation to use our newly acquired skills to preserve the patrimony of human knowledge and instill a culture of intergenerational legacy, which values the past to frame a better future.
The good news is that the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro is being reborn from ashes. Thanks to the resilience of those who value science, in January, the first exhibition with some of the remaining fossil collection was showcased, naturally in a different venue. This is just a sprout germinating from a burnt ancient tree, but lively enough to give us hope that soon the museum will return, if not to its former glory, then at least to its noble finality.
Let us then contemplate this fire with regret, but as a lesson to be learned in the name of our humanity.

Web Pages Design Tips
Web Pages Design Tips
Web pages are documents or data sources that compose the internet. It is important for anyone who is considering making a web page to make one that is interesting, reliable, valid, and timely enough so that online users and advertisers will use it for their varied purposes.
Listed below are several tips that you need to consider when making a web page.
Fast-Loading Web Page
No one really likes to keep waiting for a page to load. It is better that you make sure that your page loads within a few seconds so that your possible visitor does not get bored waiting.
Easy-To-Use Navigation
Your page may contain tabs, keys, links, and menus. Make sure that you make them all organized and systematized so that your visitors do not have to look into each one of them simply to find what they are looking for. People access the web to find quick information. Therefore, make sure that you make it easy for them so that they use your page rather than finding other pages that may offer the same information that you do.
Easy-To-Read Fonts
Classic and simple fonts are the best. When trying to beautify your page, you do not really need to use every trendy font that you find. If your web page is intended to offer information and content that will be used learning, news, or such, you will need to use fonts that can easily be read and understood. You do not want your visitors to misread or misunderstand the content that you put in your page.
Accessibility And Compatibility
Make your page accessible via any device or browser that is used by your various visitors. HTML isn't universally compatible with all browsers and devices. Therefore, use HTML and also plain text. In that way, you are made sure that people can access your page in whichever way they prefer.
Reliable And Valid Data And Information
To gain the trust and popularity among your target sponsors and online visitors, you need to make sure that the information that you offer them each time is valid and reliable. You can slowly gain the support of a number of followers by making your content trusted and correct always.
Links That Work
When you put links into your page, make sure that they work. Links that are broken will only disappoint your visitors and may cause them to leave your page in search of other pages that can offer them what you can.
Interesting And Creative Design
To keep your followers attracted and enticed by your page, make your page design unique and interesting enough that they do not get bored by it. A web page that has been done carefully and perfectly will always attract more people over that which does not.
Web pages can be good sources of income when it gets to attract many users and advertisers. Make sure that you create your web page beautifully so that you can get the attention of the many online users and advertisers who are looking for a page they can use and trust.

As the fast train passed through the station a dead bird landed at Ben's feet. It happened so suddenly that it took him a moment to realise what had happened. The way it appeared was like the finale to a magic trick, but then he figured that the train must have hit it. The bored faces of the passengers looked out, oblivious to the collision they had just had.
When the last carriage disappeared, a gust of wind whipped up in its wake, causing the collar of Ben's coat to flap up into his face, and the dead birds feathers to rustle gently. He walked a little way along the platform to get away from it.
He had a heavy rucksack that he carried over one shoulder, heavy exclusively because of the parcel he was delivering to his brother, Matthew. The strap dug into his collar bone. Matthew had called him earlier in the week from a payphone because he didn't have a telephone in the new cottage yet and the mobile reception in the village was unreliable.
'I'm having a small anvil delivered to you,' Matthew had said. 'I'm worried the post service won't be able to get it here.'
Ben had said that was fine, even though he didn't think it was. Everyone was careful about what they said to Matthew these days. You could hear the spaces left by the things that went unsaid.
Their mother referred to it as 'his episode', as though it were an episode of a sitcom where the end loops back to the beginning so that everyone can carry on as though nothing had happened. If anyone alluded to it she would change the subject, and if Matthew tried to bring it up she would tell him, we don't have to talk about that until we're ready, in a way that suggested that no one was quite ready just yet.
When the train arrived, Ben climbed on and collapsed into a seat, the rucksack landing heavily on the floor. As the train pulled away, a man rushed down the stairs, first seeing that he had missed the train, and then looking down as he noticed the little dead bird.
Matthew filled a copper kettle, put it on the gas hob and Ben handed him the parcel. The anvil was packaged in an enormous strip of bubble wrap, which he unravelled until it dropped into his hand. It was tiny, like a novelty version of the real thing.
'It's smaller than I expected,' he said, turning it around in his hands.
He had taken up leather working ever since leaving his job. For twenty years he had worked at the same company, slowly working his way out of jobs he had enjoyed and up the hierarchy into ones he didn't, until stress, combined with the gradual dissolution of his marriage, precipitated a breakdown. Now he makes bridles for local horse owners, and belts that he sells at craft markets.
'What's it for?' Ben said.
'Riveting,' Matthew said.
The cottage was small. On the outside it looked idyllic' but inside the ceilings were low and all of his stuff made the rooms feel huddled and crowded. Ben recognised some of the clutter from his old house. His collection of management technique and self-help books were lined up on the fireplace and the old banjo he had never learned to play was in the corner. But most of it was made up of his new leather working supplies. There were hides draped over the backs of chairs, still in roughly the shape of the animal they came from, and tools that Ben couldn't identify lying around. The place smelled like a damp shoe shop.
Matthew showed Ben what he would be using the anvil for, and where he had damaged the kitchen table by not having one. He showed him a barbaric looking tool that was used for cutting the leather. Matthew found a small scrap and watched Ben struggle to cut it before telling him that the tool was an antique, more a collector's item than something he actually used.
'I'm no good with that thing either,' he said, getting another, more modern, tool and with a single scything motion cut out a strip of leather.
When the kettle started to whistle it had taken so long to boil they had forgotten they were waiting for it.
They sat side by side in the living room with coffees and some plain biscuits that Matthew had laid out on a plate.
'Sorry about the biscuits,' he said. 'The shop only has a small selection.'
Ben dipped one into his coffee. 'You're looking well,' he said.
Matthew smiled and sipped his drink.
The difference in him was remarkable. He had lost weight, cut his hair short, grown a beard that emphasised his recovered jawline. But it was more than just his physical appearance. He seemed relaxed. He was wearing a thick jumper and a pair of old corduroys, and sat low in the chair, one leg crossed loosely over the other. When he spoke, his voice was soft and unhurried and the edges of his mouth seemed they were always leaning toward a smile. He was like a different person.
'And how have you been keeping?' he said. There was an emphasis on the word you.
'Okay,' Ben said. 'Alison's doing well. How are things with Jeanette?'
Jeanette was Matthew's ex-wife and Ben had never got on with her particularly well. For the first month of their relationship Ben had thought her name was Janet, and no one had known how to correct him. They had never worked out how to talk to each other after that.
'We're keeping it civil,' he said. 'But Katie has been struggling a little to adapt.'
'Well,' Ben said, 'she's only eleven.'
'Katie came to stay a couple of weeks ago, but the second bedroom isn't ready yet so she took my room and I slept on this.' Matthew patted the sofa which was clearly much too small for him to sleep on. 'I think she enjoyed herself.'
Matthew showed Ben around the rest of the cottage, but there wasn't much to see. The stairs were narrow, his bedroom had a double that took up most of the space and the second bedroom was completely empty.
'I need to paint before I put any furniture in,' Matthew said. There were little patches of damp and black mould around the windows. 'I should be able to get a single bed and a little wardrobe in.'
Ben looked at the tiny bedroom, trying to figure out how exactly.
'Yeah,' he said, 'should be fine.'
It was dark by the time Ben got home and when he walked through the front door Alison was at the oven wearing an enormous dressing gown. The kitchen light was off but she had moved one of the bedside lamps down and stood it on the worktop next to her.
She turned and smiled at him.
'Bulb's gone,' she said.
The ambience the bedside lamp gave the kitchen was mellow and welcoming. Ben walked into the kitchen and hugged her from behind, wrapping his arms around the mound of dressing gown.
'You okay?' he said.
'I'm fine,' she said.
After Ben and Alison got married, people at his work started to ask why she wasn't pregnant yet. He thought the question was intrusive but never told them so. He just said that he didn't know why, and he didn't. After a while they made an appointment with a doctor who asked them a lot of questions and then ran some tests, and the following week when they were invited back to hear the results the doctor told them that they had options.
Ben had looked down at the speckled blue floor tiles, instantly exhausted because when doctors said 'options' what they meant were 'problems'.
'Sure you're okay?' he said.
'I'm fine,' Alison said again, and smiled over her shoulder at him to demonstrate. 'How was Matthew?'
'I think he's gone insane,' he said.
Ben took off his coat and emptied his rucksack.
'What's that?' she said, gesturing at what he had in his hand.
'Belt,' he said. 'My brother gave it to me.'
'Did he make it?'
'Do you want some scrambled eggs?'
'Yes please.'
'Can I look at it?'
Ben handed her the belt.
The belt was pleasingly heavy, and Matthew had embossed a pattern into it. It hadn't taken him long to develop an affinity for his new craft, though Ben didn't expect he would ever wear it.
'It's nice,' Alison said, handing it back.
She started preparing some eggs for Ben.
'I know he did well out of selling shares, but how much do you suppose he can make doing this? I don't know how much the cottage costs, but I assume he has to give money to Jeanette.'
Ben fumbled about in the drawer to find a teaspoon, which was harder with only the lamp light.
'But did he seem happy?' Alison said.
'Yeah,' he said, 'but what's he going to do at Christmas? Has he even thought about that?'
Ben put the kettle on, satisfied at how fast it boiled.
'It sounds like he's doing okay.'
He nodded. 'You wouldn't recognise him.'
After Matthew's episode a lot changed. He quit his job, then he and Jeanette separated on a trial basis that quickly became permanent. He moved back in with their parents, into his old bedroom which had been redecorated into a bland guest bedroom with anonymous furniture and magnolia walls. He was quiet for a long time and watched television late into the night when he was struggling to sleep. During the day he helped with the housework and in the evenings he spent time on Skype talking to Katie and helping her with her homework.
He stopped drinking. Then he stopped smoking. Then he started doing yoga at the local sports centre.
Ben had stopped in to visit one Saturday morning and he got there just as Matthew was arriving back from somewhere. He had been wearing grey jogging bottoms which, for reasons Ben couldn't explain, slightly appalled him.
'Where have you been?' Ben said.
'Group,' Matthew said.
Ben nodded but didn't say anything. They stood there watching cars go past until their mother came and told them the front garden was no place for standing and made them come inside.
'I'm going to be moving out soon,' Matthew told Ben as their mother set a teapot down on the table. 'I've found a cottage.'
'That's one option,' their mother said.
Matthew leaned in to Ben once their mother had returned to the kitchen. 'It's good,' he said, 'I can't wait to show it to you.'
Ben went back to visit again the following weekend and helped paint the spare bedroom. Ben painted the walls, Matthew painted the ceiling. They laid a bed sheet on the floor to protect the carpet and got in each other's way constantly.
'I let Katie choose the colour,' Matthew said.
It was a dark olive green, too dark for the size of the room.
Ben was cautious with the paint at first, carefully loading the roller before applying it to the wall. When Matthew asked if he had done this before Ben said that of course he had, even though he hadn't. The smell of the paint was overwhelming and after a while they had to open the window.
'I'll help you do this one day,' Matthew said, 'when you have children.'
Ben stepped around Matthew and put some more paint on the roller. Matthew was applying the white paint to the ceiling in broad strokes and sometimes, when he got too close, little smudges of white got on the walls, spoiling the olive green. Ben thought about saying something, but Matthew didn't seem bothered about it.
'You know,' he said, 'Alison and I probably aren't going to have children.'
Then he paused, thought about what he had said and rephrased it.
'Alison and I aren't going to have children.'
Matthew put his roller down and picked up his drink. Standing by the window, with the sunlight coming in, Ben could see little flecks of grey in his beard that he hadn't noticed before.
'My therapist told me something,' Matthew said. 'I didn't understand it at first, but we talked about it in group and it started to make sense.'
He said the words therapist and group like they were no big deal. Like he had made his peace with them a long time ago.
'No one ever blamed a stone for lying on the ground. It's about nature, I think. How important it is to accept it.'
'Can I ask you a question?' Ben said.
'Of course.'
'What happened?'
Matthew turned and leant against the wall. Ben tried to warn him, but before he could he was resting against a patch of fresh paint. He unpeeled himself from the wall, a long olive stripe down one sleeve of his jumper, and they both started laughing.
Ben put the kettle on the hob and Matthew changed out of his jumper. Then they sat on the little sofa and waited for it to boil.
'The truth is, nothing happened,' Matthew said. 'It wasn't like that. I was driving to work one day and I was stressed about something that was going on that day, and I was stressed about something that had happened at home. It's like something broke in me. I pulled over onto the side of the road, turned off the engine and I just sat there.'
Ben looked out of the living room window, at the way the trunk of a tree warped in the thick glass.
'I sat there on the side of the road for nearly five hours. The cars were going past me and my mobile kept buzzing in my pocket, but I just ignored it. I wasn't thinking about anything. Then a policeman knocked on the window and asked me if I needed any help and I started crying and I couldn't stop.'
Ben turned to look at Matthew. He was expecting to see tears welling but his eyes were dry.
'Thanks for telling me,' Ben said.
'No problem.'
'Can I ask you one more question?'
'Why leatherwork?'
Matthew laughed gently. 'Someone said I should try it, so I did.'
'You really enjoy it?'
'I like the way I feel when I am doing it.'
'Happy?' Ben said.
Matthew shook his head.
When Ben got home, the bedside lamp was on in the kitchen again and he realised what that meant. For seven days in a row he had forgotten to buy a bulb. He found Alison in the living room, curled on the sofa and watching television. The sound was down low and she looked as though she were only just awake.
'Hey,' he said softly.
He sat down next to her and she shifted so that her head was in his lap.
'How was your brother?' she said.
'Good actually,' he said. Then he told her about painting the spare bedroom, about how Matthew got paint on his jumper, about the small details of his brother's emotional collapse, and when he was done they sat quietly.
'How are you doing?' Ben said, but she didn't reply. He leaned forward and saw that she was asleep, her eyes softly closed, her breathing slow and gentle.
He watched the clock tick away sixty seconds, trying to feel the weight of the time as it passed. Then he tried to extrapolate that up to five hours, but he found he couldn't imagine what that would be like. Ben turned off the television with the remote and continued stroking her hair even though he knew that she couldn't feel him doing it. The clock was barely lit by the lamp light from the kitchen and he tried to think of nothing as it continued to tick away.

Both the USC men's and women's teams were part of history recently by becoming the first college teams to play a dual match at a Grand Slam.
The men earned a 4-0 victory over No. 25 South Carolina on the courts of the Australian Open in Melbourne. The women also were victorious over the Gamecocks, pulling out a 4-1 victory.
The Trojans snagged a quick doubles point and then got three quick wins in singles to clinch the match. In his first match as a Trojan, freshman Jake Sands of Pacific Palisades earned his first victory at No. 6 singles and USC also got wins at No. 2 by Daniel Cukierman and No. 3 Laurens Verboven.
The women dropped the doubles point to South Carolina, but were able to rally with four singles wins at No. 3 by Rianna Valdes, No. 5 by Ana Neffa and No. 6 by Danielle Willson and the clincher at No. 2 from Angela Kulikov. In her first match as a Trojan and playing at No. 1 singles, Lakewood's Salma Ewing was up 7-5, 4-6, 5-2 when the match was clinched.

War and Peace in Qajar Persia: Implications Past and Present
A two-day conference to be held on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 July
at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge U.K.
Background: Today events in the Persian Gulf appear to echo many of the power plays of the 19th century's Great Game. States of the region again are seeking advantage over their neighbours. The issue of oil nationalism is at the top of the agenda as it was in the early 20th century. Great power dominance, indeed intervention, has become a central theme. Even the national interests of the Islamic Republic recall those of its Qajar predecessor in the delicacy of its positioning as a regional strategic actor, and energy prize. By focussing on the historical and geopolitical interactions between Western strategic interests and those of Iran and the larger Persian Gulf during the Great Game, this conference will offer new and critical historical insight on how they relate to current security and energy concerns. Improved comprehension of this under-analysed era should stimulate debate on how power and security are today being managed in the face of renewed international jockeying, oil geo-politics and religious revivalism.
Aims: As international tension focuses on Iran and the larger Persian Gulf, this conference brings together for the first time historians of the region with scholars of political, international and security studies. Its multidisciplinary dimension will highlight the historical continuities and linkages to current regional geo-strategic threats and instabilities. Only recently has documentation begun to emerge from Iran and its northern neighbours about the region's complex relationship with Europe during the Qajar dynasty. Domestic political changes at the end of the Qajar period likewise strangely recall those of today with the same air of uncertainty and division – concessions and constitution then, versus modernisation and conservatism now.
Organisers: The International Qajar Studies Association was founded in 1999 to establish formal study of Iran's history between 1778 and 1925, a period of restricted academic enquiry under the Pahlavi dynasty. IQSA thus offers a scholarly vehicle to encourage research into the era in which both the Great Game and the discovery of oil fundamentally changed the map of the region. The Cambridge Security Programme, which is co-hosting the conference, was founded in 2002 to encourage research into new ways of conceptualising security, stability and uncertainty in international society.

Don't let our future go up in Smoke Did you know?
Air pollution affects the brain and memory of a human if exposed to it often. A study conducted by the Harvard Medical School shows that over exposure to air pollution that contained small particles such as the kind released from car exhausts resulted in an increased risk of mini strokes and smaller brain volume as compared to others who were not exposed to air pollution. Scary isn't it?
Imagine roaming out on the streets all day and your brain volume gets smaller bit by bit! Another astounding and provocative finding from this study showed that dirty polluted air caused around a year of ageing internally, of the brain. Who knows how old your brain is!
What actually happens is that when we breathe in these minute particles from the air is that they go straight to our lungs and attack. This causes inflammation which can then spread to our brains. Another harmful effect of the pollution is that it causes a silent stroke which is caused by the blockage of the blood vessels in the brain by these particles.
Another reason to hate traffic jams! (As if we didn't have enough already!) Besides this, China's pollution problems take the front news in most cases but it's really India that is dealing with this problem in a major way.
It's time to 'clear the air' about that issue. India has some of the most polluted regions in the world, so much so that the kids in our country suffer from lung damage, which we've learnt leads to brain damage in the long run. Not such a bright future for the kids now that you think about it. With all the IT parks and all the industries as well as new cars flooding the market every day, our condition only seems to be getting worse.
According to a study done by the World Health Organisation, 13 of the 25 cities with the highest concentration of particulate matter floating about menacingly in the air are in India. Half of the children of Delhi have irreversible lung damage according to another study conducted by a nationwide survey. Don't you think its about time we changed for the better?
Try buying a new cycle, it's cheap and convenient. No parking issues and takes you closer to your fitness goals. Besides these plus points, it's also easing a bit of pressure on the air and helping reduce the pollution, something that needs to be done immediately.
