Whenever I am ready to start a new project, I usually sit down and start thinking about the tasks that need to be completed. And I start wondering which tasks I should complete first, second, third, etc. What often ends up happening is that I end up with such a long list of things that have to be done that I struggle to decide which one to do – and I end up in sort of an analysis paralysis.
I can't tell you how many times I've tried to start a personal project and ultimately failed to even get going, due to this. I call it Project Inertia.
The other day I came across the following code in a project:
class Users { public function __construct(PDO $pdo) { $this->pdo = $pdo; } public function getAllUsers() { $stmt = $this->pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users'); return $stmt->fetchAll(); } }
Everybody likes "the new hotness." Everyone loves a new car, or a new computer, or the state-of-the-art video gaming console. It's why people camp out for days to get their hands on a new iPhone, when they could just buy one the next week off the shelf. People love to have the hot thing, right now.
Perhaps, then, it shouldn't be so surprising that people get tremendously excited when a new version of PHP comes out. People look forward to the new features, whether they be the trailing commas in list() syntax or counting of non-countable objects.
For many, the beginning of a new year heralds an opportunity for improvement in our life through the creation of new year's resolutions. Even though January 1 is an arbitrary date (and we are able to make change anytime we see fit), the roundness of a new year's start brings about the will to initiate change for many. For me, I appreciate the start of a new year as a benchmark, a demarcation point between old and new, and I like to make resolutions of my own.
Of course, only 8% of people actually keep their resolutions. I'm not immune from this failure, as I made several resolutions in 2013 that I was unable to keep. But this has been the exception, not the rule, and I have kept resolutions in the past.
When it comes to best practices, there's always a healthy debate, and that's never more true than in the PHP community. The "best practices" that have been written about, agreed upon and talked about don't exist out of thin air, but are hard-won knowledge derived from experience, plus a little bit of not following best practices.
I want to talk a little bit about what PHP's best practices are, where they come from, how you can get involved in the next generation, and the best way to use best practices in your day-to-day coding.

Old School is the Best School
I'm now at a point in my life where technology has been adopted and changed to the point I can no longer keep up. I've figured out that when this happens, all you need to do is to declare that you're "old school" and then everything's fine. In this manner, people actually think I can use technology really well, but am just choosing to do things the old way. I totally have them all fooled.
Truth be told, technology and the improvements we've made in communication and the sharing of information is a wonderful thing. The speed in which information flows between parties today is simply awesome, and the old school way of doing things often pales in comparison.
Generally speaking, new school is much, much better.
There is one area, however, where I genuinely prefer the old school method, and that is meetings with employees and colleagues. Whenever possible, I prefer to meet people face-to-face. I also hate texting and would always rather talk to someone on the phone or even leave them a message. That in and of itself is a discussion for another article.
Meeting someone in person increases the intimacy of the interaction and allows communication to flow more easily and freely. I love to be with a person face-to-face, so I can read their body language and understand their tonality. This is much harder to do over Skype or on the phone. Don't get me wrong: I use both of these tools as needed, but for me, face-to-face is better.
In addition, I've been trying to meet many of my people for lunch, coffee or even a beer. (The beer meetings are the best!) Casual places where you can have a conversation and eat/drink together allow for deeper conversations. I'll admit I don't know why having a coffee in front of you allows meetings to be more thoughtful and transparent, but it does. There's some strange power to it.
I do realize a face-to-face meeting is not always possible. In fact, I think that a video meeting like Skype is far better than a simple conversation over the phone. And the phone is better than email or text. There's clearly an order of intimacy priority. I generally desire my leaders to meet face-to-face with their people on a quarterly basis at minimum. You'll need to figure out what works best for your company.
If you want to increase the camaraderie and intimacy of relationships with your employees, put down the phone and meet in person. If you can, invite them out to lunch or for coffee.
Or better still, meet them out for a beer. Or two.

Two more bedrooms — each outfitted with two twin beds — are downstairs. With floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, each room gets plenty of natural light and opens up onto the sandy yard. You'll find a second full bathroom, a linen closet, our impressive puzzle collection, and a toy closet for kids. There's also a basement room with a washer and dryer, utility sink, and beach necessities (chairs, boogie boards/bodyboards, and more). The downstairs bedrooms are ideal for kids or additional guests. Each bedroom contains one extra long twin bed for extra tall friends.
Enjoy quintessential, tranquil Cape Cod in the Indian Neck neighborhood, overlooking the Cape Cod Bay. Located at the end of a private road, the area is quiet, peaceful, and safe. Explore our herb garden, read or entertain guests on our huge deck (runs the full length of the house), or stroll down to our private beach (just steps away). There's lots of room for kids to play outside in the sun and shade, plus 2-4 cars can park comfortably.
Kitchen: we love to cook! You'll find all the cookware, dishes, glasses, cutlery, and serving pieces you could want, plus an herb garden, two large tubs of fresh herbs on the deck, and dry spices in the pantry cupboard. Charcoal grill on deck right outside the kitchen.

About our green amenities: We've been recycling, composting, and carrying reusable tote bags since before it was cool. We provide reusable grocery bags, food storage containers ("Tupperware"), and water bottles/thermoses at the house. We prioritize purchasing appliances, cleaning products, and household repair items that are eco-friendly and energy efficient.
A new grandchild and our 50th wedding anniversary prompted our family vacation in Wellfleet. We found this house online and saw immediately that it would meet our needs - upstairs for the oldsters and daughter, downstairs for the son, wife, two year old and newborn. The house turned out to be perfect in the following obvious ways, all visible in the online photos: a secluded location; a fabulous view and an enormous deck to enjoy it; a well-equipped kitchen with up-to-date appliances, comfortable seating and dining indoors and out; cushions for the outdoor deck furniture were a plus! and the great outdoor shower and herb garden. Not visible but very much appreciated were really comfortable beds and pillows, new laundry equipment; a fantastic walk-out children's play area under the deck and tons of beach equipment available for our use. The TV and wireless were trouble-free and the house was spotless. Clearly, the owners want their guests to have a good experience and provide nice amenities and necessities to ensure that. We found it to be a perfect fit for us and would recommend it to others. The owner was gracious and responsive and provided excellent information for ease of arrival and departure. All in all a first-class, trouble-free vacation rental. show more show less
Thank you, Joan, for your thorough and very generous review! I'm delighted that you and your family had such a wonderful time, especially since you were celebrating such important milestones together. My family spends as much time as we can at the house. We know all the amenities that make our own lives fun, comfortable, and relaxing so of course we want to provide the same experience for our tenants. I hope you'll keep our home in mind for the future; we'd love to welcome you back anytime!
Our two sons and their families - all together 2 sets of parents, 2 boys 9 & 7, 2 two-year old little girls - had a wonderful time in the house. They loved the spectacular views from the deck. Everything they needed in the house was easy to find, the appliances worked well and the directions for their use were very clear. The tallest son thought the chairs on the deck could be more comfortable. The only reservation we heard was that there is no direct walk down to the beach and the walk around is a stretch for tired little children. But these are quibbles, they all loved their Wellfleet vacation and would come back the house in a flash. And we certainly loved having our children and grandchildren close by. A repeat next summer would not be a surprise. show more show less
Thanks for the feedback, Nick; I'm delighted that your extended family had such a wonderful time at the house. Alas, we do not have a direct walkway or stairs to the beach, thus our home is listed as water view rather than waterfront. I'm glad your family enjoyed their time nonetheless (and I suspect that being just a year older will make the path down to the beach much easier for your granddaughters to conquer). I certainly hope you'll come back next year--you're welcome anytime!
This is a rustic-modern home on a hill overlooking the cove with the most magnificent sunsets one can imagine. They make the most of space and bedrooms are quite private upstairs and down. There is topnotch cookware, fresh herbs from the garden, bedding, towels, beach equipment, and toys. The house is in excellent condition. Temperature moderation is easy. One can walk to the cove beach or drive if one has a carful. The house is an easy drive from Wellfleet and anywhere you wish to go in that region of the Cape. The house manager is the best I have experienced! show more show less
Adrienne, thank you for your thorough description of the house and lovely compliments! ("Awww shucks" says our blushing house manager.) We hope you'll return soon to bask in more magnificent sunsets; you're welcome anytime.
I come here every year that I can. My family had rented elsewhere on the Cape before, but I've settled on this as my favorite vacation spot. It's absolutely peaceful, with few neighbors and a lot of space between properties, especially for the Cape. Easy walk to the beach. Well-equipped kitchen. Super cool architecture and a lot of great airflow and sunlight. I appreciate that they keep board games, books, and movies available for use, too. Great for the raining nights or indoor days. I've been coming here yearly since 2013. show more show less
We're honored to be your favorite spot, Kate, and hope you'll return for years to come! We love our house's unique and striking architecture, glad to hear you appreciate it too. Please continue to enjoy the games, books, and movies; they're there for you to use. We recently organized the bookshelves and even added some new titles, so you'll have to come back and check them out soon!
In full disclosure, I have been vacationing at this property my entire life, spending my summers walking to the small bay that lays adjacent to play by the beach; and now that it is available to the public for rental, I could not be more excited for you, a prospective renter. With the caveat that one have access to a car, for it is rather far removed for anything less, this property is perfect for a family that wants to travel en masse or a group of friends that want to share the cost for a large space that can easily accommodate 8 adults and additional children. The house has two stories with two bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor. Both stories exit onto a picturesque shore covered in stones and evergreen trees, . A full porch with unrivaled views of the tranquil bay and frequently sumptuous sunsets, as well as a large loft area perfect for even more surprise guests and any pesky +1's. The space is private and secluded; isolated from the bustle of everyday life, the place practically hums with the potential for deep and lasting emotional peace and satisfaction. A lot of people have cherished this home and its location on Cape Cod, close enough to Wellfleet to enjoy a meal out or a movie, yet far enough away to feel like you have booked a stay on your own private planet. I am certain that any future guests will come to regard this house just as fondly. Enjoy. show more show less
Thank you for your incredibly kind words, Alan; you're welcome to come back any time! You're right that a car is essential most places on the Cape, unless you're an avid cyclist. Thanks for pointing that out.
Perfect, compact house with an expansive western view. Well-appointed kitchen open to the dining-living room and the large deck facing Jeremy Point and Cape Cod Bay. Quiet, comfortable bedrooms. Small neighborhood beach within walking distance for early-risers, midday families, and evening sunset-watchers. Wellfleet is very close by, as is P-town. Best beach experience was a (moderately strenuous) over-sand hike out to watch the seals just north of High Head on Sand Road. Or you could just sit on the deck all day and have someone else go out to get food and drinks. show more show less
So glad you enjoyed your stay, Leslie! You're welcome to return anytime for more seal watching and/or reclining on the deck with a good book and a cold beverage.
We really enjoyed our visit to this lovely home. Views of the bay and Great Island are ever changing and the sunsets not to be missed. The house is well equipped, airy, and a great place to hang out in good or bad weather. Easy walk to the beach. The hosts were easy to communicate with and helpful. We highly recommend this home and will definitely return.
I had the loveliest visit in this gorgeous home. My friends and I stayed for a few days, cooking in the sweet kitchen, relaxing and partaking in the sunsets on the porch, taking the short walk to the beach, and much more. Would highly recommend to a family or a group of friends looking for a marvelous place to stay on Cape Cod!
Thanks for sharing, Miriam! Our family loves to cook and takes great care to stock the kitchen with all the equipment, dishes, and utensils one could want, so we're always delighted to hear that tenants enjoy cooking there as much as we do. Hope you and your friends will come back soon!
This house has neat architecture with open spaces in the common areas. Bedrooms are nice and are fine for two people per room. This house is great for two families of four. Wellfleet is an amazing place and has fun activities, beautiful beaches, and great views in all directions. We also went to Provincetown (only 20 minutes away) and had an amazing whale watch with the Dlphin Fleet. The rental experience was easy and convenient. We plan to return in the future.
Thanks for your kind feedback, Leo! Happy to hear you're a fan of the house's cool, unique Zehnder architecture (which provides lots of space for extended families, as you rightly pointed out). We hope you'll come back soon to enjoy more beach time and whale watch expeditions with friends and family of all ages!
We absolutely loved staying here! The spacious deck is perfect for viewing sunsets over Wellfleet Harbor. Breathtaking view of Great Island - which is a wonderful place to take a picnic and to enjoy a seaside walk. The deck is also ideal for sharing a leisurely breakfast and then taking a stroll to the beach, which is a very short walking distance. The Indian Neck neighborhood where the house is located is great to explore or jog, and there is a beautiful beach and marsh to wander. The Cape Cod Rail Trail is biking and driving distance from the house and extends south for rides suitable for a family or for the avid cyclist. The Cape Cod National Seashore's iconic and dramatic beaches and bike trails are a short drive or bike ride away as well. Yummy seafood joints and a delectable boulangerie in the neighborhood as well. This home is the ideal location to be able to enjoy the type of Cape vacation the suits you best. My first stay was in fall of 2011, and have since returned in spring 2012, summer 2014 and summer 2015. show more show less
So glad you enjoyed your time at the house, Leila! We hope you'll keep coming back. Thanks for sharing info about all the great biking and hiking/walking trails nearby.

Why Fat Activist Dani Adriana Says "Fuck You" To Diet Culture
"I have always been larger and existed in a body that I felt didn't feel the societal ideal of 'beautiful'."
For as long as I can remember, I've known that bodies were something society focused on.
Even as early as five years-old, I can vividly remember moments where I realized that my body was different from the other girls around me, but it wasn't until I was a little bit older, around eight, when I noticed the issue the world had with fat bodies. I have always been larger and existed in a body that I felt didn't feel the societal ideal of 'beautiful'; I was always the tallest, broadest girl in my grade through school.
My body image and self-worth was the worst it has ever been when I was a teenager. It was dismal. I joined a gym and got a personal trainer when I was only 11 because I felt I needed to lose weight, despite being an active child. This early exposure to exercise and the idea of weight loss as a goal that all girls and women should strive for eventually resulted in my developing an eating disorder. I believed that if I wasn't thin, I wasn't worth anything. As well as joining a gym, I started my first diet when I was 11. Even at this young, and developmentally crucial age, diet culture was already creeping into my life.
I remember a million little moments in my life where I was reminded that my body and what I looked like was the thing that mattered most in our patriarchal, white-washed, fat-phobic society. These micro-aggressions were a constant feature in my life.
The turning point for me was when I finally sought psychological treatment for my eating disorders. After that, it was a slow progression of finding my self-worth, improving my body image, discovering social media positivity and then eventually, fat activism.

In January of 2013, I started posting on Instagram. I was in the early stages of eating disorder recovery. I wanted to show people that eating disorders exist in many different bodies, and not just the stereotypical image of what an eating disorder sufferer looks like. Over the years, my content, learning, and experience has expanded into exploring the body positive realm. When I found this movement, I felt as if I'd found my true life's purpose of sharing my painful past and being a beacon for those who are hopeful for a different future of body love and positive recovery.
My passion for changing the narrative society spins about fat bodies came once I eventually accepted my fat body as it is, and started critically analyzing the message we see around fat bodies, fat people, and fatness in general. Once I realized the social impact of fat-phobia and how it's important that we liberate fat bodies, a fire sparked in me to speak out more about my lived experience and to create safe fat communities on and offline. I also want to warn people about the dangers of diet culture.
Diet culture is one of the most damaging societal impacts on the self-worth of young women. I believe if we had a body neutral or body positive outlook on diverse bodes and sizes, then we would have a lot more time to spend on things that are truly important in our personal lives instead of counting calories or dieting. Dieting distorts your soul, purpose, will, and body, and completely disconnects you from the people around you. I wish that people understood the true mental impact dieting has on self-worth and body image. It has become such a second nature behavior to just go on a diet or be on diets from such a young age that we have normalized behaviors which are extremely perverse and unnecessary. I wish more people understood the immense power and freedom that lives in body positivity and freedom from dieting. It has a lot to answer for and, in my mind, a lot of blood on its hands.

? when fitness, health or as they call themselves "balanced body positivity" accounts shame me they usually use this photo collection. SEE SHE EATS LIKE A PIGGY NO WONDER SHE IS FAT. SEE SHE SAYS SHE HAS RECOVERED FROM AN EATING DISORDER BUT BINGE EATING IS A DISORDER SO. Want to know how I feel? Well you follow me so probably. I feel like this WHY IN HEAVENLY FUCK DO PEOPLE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT FAT PEOPLE DO, EAT, WEAR AND SAY. In the classic words of Mariah Carey 'Why you so obsessed with me?!' Here's where you should know whether or not you actually respect fat people or not. If you look at a photo of a fat person and wonder hrrmm I wonder why they are fat? That's fucked up. Fat people like thin people are all diverse and varied. Some people's bodies are like that because of duh diversity, some people because of their diets and lifestyle, some people because of health issues out of their control, some people just are fat. HOWEVER WHY THE FUCK DOES ANYONE CARE WHAT PEOPLE WEIGH OR WHY THEY WEIGH THAT?! If you care so much about "health" do you also text your thin friends about their sleep schedule or hold interventions for thin friends who have stressful jobs. I AM SO SICK OF THE THINLY VEILED FAT FUCKING PHOBIA AND DOUBLE STANDARD. If this photo above featured a thin girl people would be "Yass girling" and men would say "I love a real women who eats" that is fat phobia. So here's me enjoying the fuck out of a pizza and sick of arguing with fat phobic fucks on the internet who say I've taken body positivity too far … you ain't seen nothing yet SUSAN.

Reclaiming the word 'fat' was really important for me, as it is for many fat activists. I am truly content with that word as a descriptor now, and for people in my fat community, we love the word. We've taken this word which can be, and still is, used with so much insult and vitriol, and turned it into something which simply describes the amazing bodies we have. It is important to reclaim the word for our community and for ourselves.
To be part of a revolution where women are encouraged to love themselves instead of shame themselves, no matter what kind of body they have is, in two words, fucking awesome.
It's a great time to be a part of a social movement which not only affects us all on a personal and individual level but also something that is having real change in the way society treats women's bodies. I'm a part of something much bigger than myself; a collective voice and space of shared experiences which are valid and have been bursting to be told for years. It makes me hopeful for the future.
There are things about being a social media influencer which have surprised me. I definitely didn't expect so many ugly dick pics and weird dudes in my DMs. I also don't think I was really prepared for the despicable hate and trolling that comes with being a fat woman on the internet. I have now truly been insulted every way possible. Luckily, with the support of the people around me, and after being online for six years, I am much more confident with the block button and not giving my time or emotions to that disgusting stuff. And my partner is 120 percent supportive of me. He truly is the one who is behind the scenes making it even possible for me to do what I do. He helps me in so many ways, whether it's as my photographer or cheerleader in helping push me forward through the crappy days.

The first hate comment online which ever got to me said 'You have back boobs, line backer shoulders, a dog underbite and the belly a size of a planet. Who the hell do you think you are being half naked on Instagram'. It fucking stuck with me for a long ass time. That was 4 years ago. My plus size body even "is told it's wrong" within plus size spheres. I don't have the thick thighs and booty with an hourglass figure. Fat people come in all shapes and sizes too – body diversity in shape exists in all sizes. People like me aren't less than because we don't have a big butt or carry our weight differently. This is just my body, how I exist, how I look and there ain't no shame in my back roll game. I'm posting this for my back roll sisters who don't see this on their feeds either and need to know it is 120% okay & regardless of any of your personal "perceived body flaws" you are god damn starlight. To my friends who got more rolls than a bakery find uniqueness and beauty in that. #morerollsthanabakery

Knowing I have a positive impact on so many people's lives can honestly be quite overwhelming. Most days, it can be harder to face the wonderful things people say about me than to face negative comments. I think it's because I live such a normal 'offline life' that it amazes me that people really resonate with my message and the work I do online. Overall, it's the most humbling and rewarding thing I have ever done and I never take for granted the community I am a part of or those who have paved the way for me to be able to do what I do online.
My ultimate goal is to create a safe space and community for fat people. I want to educate those who are not fat allies and to work to dismantle the dangerous diet culture which affects us all. If you're new to the world of body positivity and fat activism, please ensure that you spend time letting yourself marinate in the concepts and messages for as long as you need to. It takes time to unpack the trauma and hatred for ourselves attached to diet culture. I would love for the next generation of fat children and teens to understand that their bodies are worthy and beautiful, that health is a complex, individual experience and they can live long and wonderful lives. Most of all, I hope that my presence in the world gives hope to people who see themselves in my experiences I share and helps them feel less alone.*

Numbering over five million men, Britain's army in the First World War was the biggest in the country's history. Remarkably, nearly half those men who served in it were volunteers. 2,466,719 men enlisted between August 1914 and December 1915, many in response to the appeals of the Field-Marshal Lord Kitchener, by then a natural hero. Peter Simkins describes how Kitchener's New Armies were raised and reviews the main political, economic and social effects of the recruiting campaign. He examines the experiences and impressions of the officers and men who made up the New Armies. As well as analysing their motives for enlisting, he explores how they were fed, housed, equipped and trained before they set off for active service abroad. Drawing upon a wide variety of sources, ranging from government papers to the diaries and letters of individual soldiers, he questions long-held assumptions about the 'rush to the colours' and the nature of patriotism in 1914. The book will be of interest not only to those studying social, political and economic history, but also to general readers who wish to know more about the story of Britain's citizen soldiers in the Great War.
Peter Simkins worked at the IWM for over thirty-five years before retiring as its Senior Historian in 1999. He was awarded the MBE that year for his services to the Museum. He is currently Honorary Professor in Modern History and a Member of the Centre for First World War Studies at the University of Birmingham; a Vice-President of the Western Front Association; and a Member of the Council of the Army Records Society. Other recent publications include Haig: A Reappraisal 70 Years On (1999), Leadership in Conflict (2000) and Haig's Generals (2006).

Improve Your Balance: If you can balance on this wheel, you can balance on pretty much anything. Practice first with your hands on the ground, and when you feel steady, test out your favorite standing poses on the yoga wheel Doing this on soft ground or with a wall nearby is highly recommended!

UFC Fighter Rankings Barely Move On Fight Night DH Results
- Updated: October 7, 2014
The Ultimate Fighting Championship Fighter Rankings saw very little change after the action of this weekend's UFC Fight Night double-header from Stockholm and Halifax. Rory MacDonald failed to vault over current No. 1 welterweight contender Robbie Lawler on his impressive stoppage win over No. 9 ranked Tarec Saffiedine on Saturday. However, Rick Story and a handful of successful fighters were able to make moves in the rankings.
Rick "The Horror" Story made the big move in the welterweight division jumping into the Top 15 to the No. 12 spot on the strength of his upset win over Gunnar Nelson that dropped "Gunni" to No. 14. Demian Maia moved up to No. 7 with his last win coming in May against Alexander Yakolev and Dong Hyun Kim moved up to No. 9 having fallen victim to a first round knockout at the hands of Tyron Woodley in August. Jake Ellenberger and Ryan LaFlare each dropped a spot without a fight to No. 8 and No. 15 respectively.
Dennis Siver moved up a spot in the featherweight division into the No. 10 spot after defeating Charles Rosa by a unanimous decision, dropping Jeremy Stephens to the No. 11 spot. Max "Blessed" Holloway jumped into the rankings at No. 15 after his first round stoppage of Akira Corassini on Saturday.
Mitch Gagnon worked his first round submission win over Roman Salazar into a Top 15 ranking as he moved into the No. 15 spot in the bantamweight rankings. The flyweight rankings saw two fighters move up and two move down without any of them fighting this weekend. John Lineker and Ali Bagautinov traded the No. 6 and 7 spots while Kyoji Horiguchi and Dustin Ortiz swapped the No. 12 and 13 rankings.
Lots of movement occurred in the Pound-For-Pound rankings as Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman jumped over Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez into the No. 4 spot. Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks jumps past Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey to the No. 8 spot while Bantamweight Champion T. J. Dillashaw finally jumped over former bantamweight champ Renan Barao to the No. 10 spot. No. 1 light heavyweight contender Alexander Gustafsson move to No. 13 while No. 2 bantamweight contender Dominick Cruz jumped to No. 14 and dropped No. 2 light heavyweight contender Daniel Cormier to No. 15.

In fact, they are only half as likely to suffer a heart condition as someone who didn't adopt the diet or who did so only occasionally.
Their risk of heart disease, which includes stroke, coronary heart disease and heart attack, is 47 per cent lower if they follow it properly for between five and 10 years, say researchers from Harokopio University in Athens.
Their findings are based on a study of more than 2,500 Greek adults, whose health, diet and lifestyle was tracked for 10 years. During the study, 20 per cent of men and 12 per cent of women developed heart disease, some of whom died as a result.
While there is no one Mediterranean diet, it commonly includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, fish, olive oil and even a glass of red wine.
The diet can also reduce the risk of diabetes, weight gain, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Cocktail Party Catering Attwood Vic
8 Expert Tips For Selecting the Right Cocktail Party Caterer In Attwood
When it comes to the things that can make or break an occasion, couple of are as essential as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which catering service to work with, and if you think this choice actually isn't really that crucial, look at it this way, amazing catering can rescue an occasion that's on the rocks, but bad catering will usually send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, since catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for most occasions, the catering service you select is also a significant budgetary choice and can influence just how much money you have actually left over to invest in other areas depending upon food expenses and quantities.
Add in the fact that catering services can vary dramatically in their prices and the types of meals and services they offer, and the process of choosing a catering service can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, generally because how responsive and interested a caterer is throughout your preliminary discussions is indicative of how they will carry out throughout the length of their contract with you (and more on contracts later).
A prospective caterer ought to be learning as much as they can about you in your very first few conversations with them, so you must expect them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you providing responses and outlining your needs about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Manage Your Particular Type of Occasion In Attwood 3049
Not every catering service is best or every type of occasion, and many catering services themselves openly confess this.
So when interviewing your Attwood catering services (and you ought to talk with a minimum of 3 caterers for any occasion with a sensible budget), you have to specify about the type of event you are preparing and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may end up selecting a caterer who just isn't an excellent fit for the type or style of your occasion.
Practically every catering service has a basic menu or menus to pick from, and many do provide some level of built-in versatility to adapt these menus to your particular requirements by replacing specific items and/or personalizing others.
Nevertheless, the standout caterers will surpass standardized menu alternatives and want to create fantastic fare that matches even more particular style and dietary requirements.
# 3 Determination To Offer Tastings
How will you ever know exactly what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you know what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you particularly try them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the specific items they want for their occasion since it looks like an inconvenience for the catering service, however it is standard to request for a sampling of exactly what you are intending to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a charge, it's a small price to pay to ensure you select the right catering service). When you are sampling the food, also attend to how it exists, as any caterer who takes the time to properly show a sample will most likely be more likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event manager who needs to manage catering details, spending plans and assignments?
Or are you a caterer who has to track propositions, invoices, meal selections, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You might remain in for a surprise if you hire a BBQ take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom fundraising event. Or if you select a high-end business event caterer to serve a barn wedding. Why? Due to the fact that these caterers may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more particular depending upon constraints of the location itself, like in the case of museums and historical sites.
Much more conventional places can also have constraints that caterers should follow, like specific setup standards or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a catering service that recognizes with a venue's guidelines can possibly save you great deals of trouble on event day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Agreement
The catering service's contract should plainly spell out precisely what food, beverages and services the caterer will be offering on the designated day( s). Moreover, it should protect you from non-performance as much as it safeguards the caterer from non-payment/default, so you may want to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it before you sign it.
Every detail needs to be consisted of in the contract, included chosen menus, number of portions and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service details (if appropriate) and all pricing and additional services.
No caterer in Attwood with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in a contract with strategies to bail at the last minute, but you have to ensure there is a cancellation clause in your agreement simply in case your caterer has to cancel.
You do not wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your occasion, so just ensure cancellation procedures and penalties are in place so you do have a backup strategy.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Talk To
Of course you will have to check up on the caterers in Attwood you are thinking about, and it's always excellent to begin online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, don't stop there, as online reviews are not constantly reputable (or even authentic); for example, an excellent catering service might have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who skew their ratings, while a really mediocre caterer may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some past clients of the catering services you are considering and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we spoke with called insurance protection "an offered" for catering services, and you definitely do not wish to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 An Experienced Chef and Kitchen Area Personnel
Surprisingly, the length of time a catering business in Attwood has been in business might not be as vital in selecting a fantastic catering service as you may believe.
So make certain to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV due to the fact that he/she will probably be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

Lake Constance is so big it is almost an inland sea, and it is framed by impressive landscapes and the majestic Alps. However, going swimming, eating good food and looking at mountains for an entire fortnight? Admittedly, that may sound like heaven to most of us – but if your kids or travel companions disagree, you will find the best tips for day trip destinations around Lake Constance here.
The Lake Constance experience
People visit Lake Constance usually do so above all for the obvious reason: to see the lake itself. However, precisely because it is so huge that in most places, you cannot see the opposite shore, it takes almost two weeks to explore it on foot. You therefore need to consider alternative modes of transport.
The most frequently chosen option is probably boat trip. Cruise ships that will take you across the lake at a leisurely pace constantly depart from and arrive at almost every larger community along its shores. They will reveal Lake Constance's most hidden corners to you and will of course also take you across to the islands that are all perfect day trip destinations.
The lake and its surroundings can also be admired from the bird's eye perspective: all you have to do is to travel to Friedrichshafen. You can catch an airship to certain popular day trip destinations like the Lindau promenade from there, or see all of Lake Constance from above on a two-hour round trip. The airships take off several times a day. A more affordable way to enjoy views across Lindau that are almost as spectacular is climbing the nearby Pfänder Mountain.
Islands in Lake Constance
If you're visiting Lake Constance for longer than a weekend, you should go on at least one day trip to one of the large islands. For a start, so you won't be embarrassed when people ask you "Did you go to Mainau/Reichenau/Lindau?"
If you are taking a short break in the Lake Constance region, it is therefore a good idea to actually stay in Lindau, as all of the Bavarian district town's historic town centre is situated on the island of Lindau in Lake Constance, and can be reached either via a bridge or along the railway embankment. It is also a popular day trip destination for visitors staying elsewhere in the region.
Of course, the other two large islands in Lake Constance are also worth a visit Reichenau and Mainau. On the latter, exotic plants usually only found in botanic gardens grow all year round; that is why it is also known as the "island of flowers".
The island of Reichenau, on the other hand, is also called the "island of vegetables" as it is home to numerous fields where vegetable are grown; they are of a remarkably good quality due to the above-average annual sunshine hours. The island is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as there is also a famous Benedictine abbey on it.
Day trip destinations: Castles and palaces in the Lake Constance region
Southern Germany is famous all over the world for its palaces, castles and impressive abbeys and monasteries. A great number of these are situated in the Lake Constance region. Baden-Württemberg has a lot to offer to visitors with a special interest in historic buildings and cultural heritage, particularly the town of Meersburg.
Although it is only a small town with a population of just over 5,500, it attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, especially in the summer. One of the reasons for this is Meersburg Castle, the former seat of the Prince-Bishops of Constance. Another is the baroque New Castle, which dates from the 18th century. Both buildings together are a grand sight when viewed from Lake Constance and always worth a visit.
Just like these buildings in Meersburg, the monastery and Salem Palace also have a religious background: Originally built as a Cistercian monastery, the Margrave of Baden converted the grand baroque building into a palace in the 19th century.
Hence, Salem is one of the few places in the world where a severe, visually cold gothic building like the minster is situated adjacent to a building of such baroque splendour as the prelate's residence. You should certainly set a whole day aside if you want to tour the monastery and the palace.
Culture and history in the Lake Constance area
You'd like even more history and art? No problem! The area around Lake Constance has plenty of museums to offer. These include highlights for technology fans like the Zeppelin-Museum in Friedrichshafen as well as hidden gems for history buffs like the Ehemals Reichsstädtische Bibliothek, the historic library in Lindau's old town hall.
Local history is brought to life in Unteruhldingen by Lake Constance in the Pile Dwellings Museum. In reconstructed pile dwellings, you can experience how the locals lived 800 to 4000 BC, and admire exhibits from the Stone and Bronze Ages. These were preserved particularly well in the area around Lake Constance and even include burnt porridge and other masterpieces of Stone Age haute cuisine.
Adventures on Lake Constance
However, in between all of these day trips and the cornucopia of culture, visitors usually also want to actually venture out onto Lake Constance itself. Again this poses no problem, thanks to the sheer endless variety of water sports on offer, which include anything from windsurfing to sailing and kayak tours. Whilst you can also pursue these sports on a lot of other lakes, there is one water feature that is unique: the Rhine Falls.
Admittedly, these are located slightly more than 20 kilometres to the east of Lake Constance, but the breathtaking natural spectacle is worth every effort. With a width of 23 metres and a length of 150 metres, the Rhine Falls are Europe's biggest and most voluminous waterfalls. Thrill seekers can take a round trip to a rocky island nearby to see them up close.

NOPLAN: Writing Results At Lowest Level Since Test Introduced
This year's results show writing levels have fallen to their lowest since NAPLAN was introduced.
This year's highly-anticipated NAPLAN results have revealed yet another disappointing decline in writing levels across the nation, and escalated the tension between the traditional and the digital.
One-fifth of students sat the digital version of tests for the first time in 2018, as schools across the nation gear up for the NAPLAN to move completely online by 2020.
While the first-look results showed national writing levels had dropped to their lowest in the decade since the NAPLAN was first introduced, interestingly Year 9 students who took the writing test online fared much better than those using pen and paper.
Senior Lecturer in Social Sciences at the University of Western Australia Dr Glenn Savage said this data reveals a tension between the traditional and digital testing methods.
"As we move to online testing for all by 2020, some argue we should be focusing on young people's digital literacy, while others say the real problem is that students can't do the test on paper," Savage told ten daily.
"Young people are now digital natives, [they] are more capable of using technology."
While there is no clear evidence why students' writing is continuing to decline, annual data shows these skills get worse as students progress through the years, becoming particularly low in Year 7 and especially Year 9.
Savage said while he thinks Australia needs to be focusing on targeting digital literacy as we move towards the 2020 deadline, we can't overlook the fact that students still predominantly take other exams, including the Higher School Certificate, using pen and paper.
"You wouldn't want to move all the intervention work on writing to an online platform," Savage warns.
"Pen and paper isn't going away anytime soon."
Outgoing Minister for Education and Training Simon Birmingham said the online platform will "ultimately provide, faster, better and richer analysis for students, teachers and parents."
"Future school reforms must focus on driving individual student achievement and equipping teachers with the right tools in the classroom," Birmingham said, adding that a new national school reform agreement between the Commonwealth and states and territories would be considered by COAG in the next few months.
While this year's results mostly emphasise a continuation of existing long-term trends, there are a few areas where improvements or declines are noticeable .
In particular, Savage says that while writing remains a core area of concern across the nation, we are seeing improvements across the country in related literacy tests, including spelling, grammar and punctuation.
"Things are moving in different directions," Savage said, adding that the discrepancy between longer and shorter form of writing tests comes down to differences in the way the two literacy components are assessed.
"It's not all bad news, but it's definitely not a completely rosy picture."
"If you look at the online version, young people will be asked where the punctuation should be in a particular sentence, or asked to identify what's wrong with a sentence," Savage explained.
"But the writing test is not just testing that students can do it correctly, it's also about the nature of their expression, and whether they can make convincing arguments."
According to Savage it can be much easier for young people to recognise errors in a given text rather than forming their own fully fleshed-out sentences.
state v state
Since testing first started in 2008, there have been consistent patterns in which states fare better. Schools in NSW, the ACT and Victoria continue to score higher and well above the national average, while the Northern Territory has vastly under-performed across all domains and all year levels.
But Savage said it's sometimes overlooked that in any testing where there is an average, there will always be a state who is above and a state who is below.
Across the country only 79.5 percent of year 9 students meet the minimum standard for writing, with similar trends seen in year 7.
READ MORE: NAPLAN Explained: What Exactly Are These Tests?
In the Northern Territory less than half of students meet that basic level, while in South Australia the results are better at 75 percent.
Savage said while these numbers may look high nationally, the minimum standard benchmark is realistically very low.
"It's not something we should be inspiring towards - we should be wanting 99 percent or 100 percent to be meeting that standard, because it's really the bare minimum."
More positively, across the nation more than 90 percent of students are meeting the minimum standard for reading, grammar and punctuation, spelling and numeracy.
The release of the results this year were delayed by several weeks due to a storm of controversy surrounding how the results would be tabled, with strong debate on whether the online and paper results should be separated from each other.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
Ultimately the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) decided to rely on expert evidence which showed that the two tests were similar enough to be reported under the same assessment scale.

"This was the first year in which some students took NAPLAN online and the transition was smooth, with feedback from schools at the time of testing stating that students found the online assessment engaging," ACARA CEO Robert Randall said, despite huge backlash and attempts to boycott the results this year.
"The NAPLAN Online platform performed well and 99.8 percent of students were able to complete the assessment online."
Birmingham said over 200,000 students completed the NAPLAN through the new online portal, and the overwhelming feedback from schools was positive.
"The best way for each teacher, parent or school to get the most out of NAPLAN in the future will be for all schools to move to the online format, providing all of the benefits of adaptive, online assessment," Birmingham said.

It's even weirder in practice.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 14th, Apr. 2014 Under News
A new Battlefield 4 bug has been discovered courtesy of Jack Frag on YouTube. You can check out the bug in question above, but in short, it turns the dead into shields for the living.
It's highly nuanced too so stay with us for a minute. When a player is in a downed state, for which they can accept defibrillators and be revived within a short time span, then a live player immediately standing behind them receives no damage from bullets. Grenades bounce right back and even tank shells can't penetrate. This is because the downed body is still registering as an obstacle. This only works for downed players – shoot up some one real good and make them deader than dead, and you'll find no such shield protecting the players behind them.
It really is a bug that has the potential to break several aspects of the game. Have you experienced it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Click here for details of the Latest Version 7
Portable Navigator Survey is a chart plotting and data logging system for navigation and survey use for hydrographic and terrestrial applications. It can be run on the smallest Notebook PC for workboat use or larger desktop systems. Portable Navigator is ideal for survey work because it enables users to create and update their own detailed vector charts and to quickly lay down track lines for navigation coverage of the area to be surveyed. Following track lines is now easier than ever with heading up display, perspective chart views and automatic Steering Waypoints. These are two waypoints at "infinity" which auto-change when turning at the end of each track line enabling you to use an autopilot in addition to visual steering to follow a survey grid.
PN will interface with any GPS receiver system that outputs NMEA 0183 or other data. Using NMEAProIII ESL's DDE NMEA server it is able to log multiple channels from a variety of sensors and display the data in various formats to facilitate visualisation. Up to four views with different display characteristics and data can be opened simultaneously. Following track lines has never been easier with the new perspective chart view.
Use Data Zoom to quickly find the location on the sea bed of interesting data anomalies. Automatically create a waypoint on the chart at the position of interest.
The new Data zoom magnifier now plots the logged data in a separate window with measurement facilities. This large plot window makes Data Zoom easier to use for seabed object location and instant creation of chart waypoints at that point for future diving investigations.
Insert event fixes with remarks, data plots and screen shots directly into an MS Word document file in real time, pre-preparing the survey report while still surveying, saving time on post processing.
Another unique feature of Portable Navigator is the Vessel Plan display and the Antenna Offset facility. This enables the survey vessel and it's tow to be displayed schematically on the chart for the accurate representation of the position of towed sensors even when logging data in cross tidal situations as shown above. This example shows a 10m workboat with a 50m tow and a 4m wide coverage swathe. There is a 0.6 Kn tide set 170deg T, which at the slow speed of the workboat, 3kn, causes an offset of the towed magnetometer's position. This is automatically calculated by PN and the estimated towfish position is logged (green dot at the end of the dashed green line). The yellow dashed line is the track of the GPS antenna on the workboat, while the thick purple line is the coverage swathe plot for the transducer. Note that the actual towfish position is offset by more than 10 metres from the track of the workboat! For future location of seabed features by diving this sort of accuracy is essential.
Fully integrated optional display of AIS targets and data with separate windows for AIS Target Data and New Video Output Blackboard with any required data displayed on main or secondary monitors.
AIS Monitoring and Fleet Management
VTS and Coastguard use for vessel traffic monitoring and fleet management using the AIS monitor mode. The unique AIS log enables the recorded traffic patterns to be analysed for marine incident investigation. For fleet management the built-in AIS Target database enables fleet members to be tagged and instantly highlighted and flashed in the AIS display for ease of locating related vessels in a busy port. Use of this feature could include Tug Fleet tracking and dispatch.
Optional Vessel Lights, based on the AIS navigation state of each target, can be displayed to further clarify the traffic pattern and possibly assist with incident analysis. Watch the video demonstration of this feature.
Portable Navigator supports multiple chart views, each with individually configurable content and display characteristics. There is also a data trend plot for the main window to enable the selected data channel to be visualised as it is being collected or off-line for analysis. The data is logged to simple comma delimited text files, the format of which is specified by the user. This makes the exporting of data to other applications such as spreadsheets very easy. Portable Navigator provides full file compatibility with all of it's earlier versions.
Recommended minimum hardware : 1.5 - 2 Ghz Pentium PC, 2 Gb RAM, 100 Mb Disk space, COM or USB port. If your PC only has USB ports you can use a USB to COM port converter cable for use with serial NMEA devices. Or use a USB GPS or AIS receiver. We have tested this software with UBLOX USB GPS receivers and with many other USB 2.0 - DB9 adaptor cables. Both GPS and AIS receivers are available as small dongles making Portable Navigator truly portable NMEApro III now auto-detects the COM ports present.
Operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8.1 and 10.

03 – The Low Frequency – The enemy of Awakening (Part 1)
This article has been temporarily translated through Google Translate. The original articles have been written in Italian. If you want to help us improve the translation in your language, contact us by email. Thank you.
Page 1 of 3
To begin to recognize the presence of the Low Frequency in our lives, we need to get an idea of how the Matrix works, which I have already discussed in the previous article.The Matrix is the video game on which we are spending most of our lives, thinking that it is all real.The Low Frequency is the exact mechanism that makes us believe all this, letting us live inside the video game so as not to remind us of our true reason for living.The Low Frequency is the low frequency in which we live habitually, made up of a thousand thoughts, a thousand things to do, but above all a thousand setbacks and unforeseen events that do not serve other things but to fill every minute of your days, so that you cannot stop even one moment to recognize who you really are.The Low Frequency is the vibration on which we live, which keeps us tied to a hectic life in which, even when we have a day of rest, we will occupy it or waste it, instead of enjoying the time to reason about the reason for which we were born.The Low Frequency, however, is much more intelligent than a simple basic vibration: it is a function, a sort of consciousness of this planet that keeps us tied, to prevent us from recognizing our true identity and coming out of the low frequency, thus finding Awakening.
The planet in which we live has a mind, a true intelligent mind that makes it alive to all effects.His mind, like ours, has different faculties, so to speak is able to move life within it.The mind of the planet has two particularly important functions, which are very different from each other but equally important to understand immediately: one is Nature, the other is Low Frequency.Although both are part of the mind of this planet, they are two distinct functions and in some respects very different from each other.In fact, Nature is the most positive thing in this world, while the Low Frequency is the other side of the coin: the lowest vibration of this planet.In fact, in this article I will explain the difference between Nature and Low Frequency, as they are both part of the mind of the planet but they are two very different functions between them, so much so that you will recognize Nature as the highest vibration that can be found on this planet and the Low, on the other hand, as the lowest vibration.In this path we will concentrate on analyzing the Low Frequency and understanding it, calmly, as it is a very deep topic, but just as complex to understand if you decide to approach him superficially.Let's start with the understanding of Nature.
What we have always called Nature is part of the planet's mind, but which we have not realized for as long as it does our lives.It is the consciousness that directs the lives of every living being on this planet, including insects, plants and every single organism, of land or sea.It is the Nature that makes the flowers bloom in the exact period, it is the nature that pushes the bees to pollinate the precise flowers, it is the nature that organizes the hierarchy in the families of insects and animals.Everything that works in this world comes from Nature, nothing but from the mind of the planet in which we find ourselves.Nature is not random at all, but it is very precise, because it knows how to organize itself to find the right harmony to make life on Earth continue, in a linear and uninterrupted way.Therefore, Nature is the name we give to that capacity of the mind of the planet, but forgetting the true meaning of this term.In fact, today we are talking about Nature almost diminishing it, without realizing that everything that exists on this planet has been perfectly organized, so much so that no one in the world could have devised such precise mechanisms as to fit together in such a spontaneous way.When we talk about Nature, we diminish it by thinking that everything has happened without anyone doing anything, not realizing that all this works because the planet's mind is at the top of everything, directing the lives of plants, animals and insects.Nature directs the life of every single living being on Earth, therefore, it also directs ours.
Page 2 of 3
That faculty of the planet's mind, which we call Nature, is something exceptional, because it manages to carry on life even when it is in great difficulty, conceiving some new mechanism, such as the birth of a new plant, which will serve precisely to solve that problem occurred within the Earth. The other side of the coin, however, is the Low Frequency, which is associated with Nature and takes advantage of this mechanism to have control over our lives, preventing us from breaking the mold and finding our identity. In essence, while Nature directs our life, the Low Frequency takes control.
What we have ignored all our lives is that the nature of this planet not only directs the events of plants, insects and animals, for example by giving rise to situations so that the path of nature continues even when a fragment of the mechanism is missing; but it also directs the life of humans. What we have ignored is that Nature is not just grass, flowers and insects, but everything that surrounds us. His conscience directs us humans, as he directs insects, although to us this concept seems to us different only because insects create a den and we create buildings. We have always ignored that the mind of the planet in which we live, decides our lives, imposing them as he decides they should be. If you start to think in this light, you realize that if it is so easy for the planet's mind to organize every single event in nature to match it and continue life, sometimes performing real miracles "of nature", it's just as easy for the planet to organize every single event of your life, to make it go the way he decided for you. While the planet has the ability to give birth to life within it, taking advantage of Nature, it also has the faculty to maintain all the minds (human, animal, plant) born on this planet extremely tied to him, through the Low Frequency. So long as we think of nature only as insects and small flowers, then everything seems too simple, beautiful and peaceful. Surely, if there were no Nature to direct the lives of all living beings, there would be no more life: in fact, she decides how spiders should behave and continue their lives, pushing them to the situation in which they will die. This mechanism works for every single living being: Nature chooses how you must be born and how you must die, regardless of whether you like it or not. All this would be perfect, if it were not that we are not spiders: we are human beings, provided with a Consciousness that deserves to be awakened and recognized for what we really are. In fact the planet's mind beyond Nature has another consciousness, nothing but the other side of the coin, which uses its power to bind us to this life and prevent us from choosing how it should go according to our will: this block is the Low Frequency.
Nature decides how our life should go, adding details and events that lead our future towards the direction it has chosen; the Low Frequency in the meantime, provides to exploit the Nature to add distractions and mishaps to our life, with the aim of making us concentrate on these unforeseen events and not having time to concentrate on discovering our true identity. The Low puts us on the same evolutionary level as the insects, but we are not insects. Insects follow their life with the sole aim of procreating, and when they have concluded they can also die. We are not only born to procreate and then dedicate our lives solely to this: we have something much more advanced than insects, or a much older Consciousness built from life to life. We can procreate, we can love our children more than ourselves, but we are not born just for this: in the meantime we can also choose to find out who we really are. While nature leads us to take steps, which will eventually lead us in the direction chosen by her, the Low Frequency prevents us in any way from undertaking, in the meantime, a path of Awakening, which makes us remember who we really are, why we are here, but above all, that makes us discover that we were not born here to live as puppets controlled by someone at the top: The Low Frequency.
Page 3 of 3
Consequently you understand that the problem is not Nature, but the Low Frequency that somehow confuses us and makes us believe that we are "natural". If we discovered our true identity, we will realize that we are not here to submit to the Low Frequency, but that we are born to pursue much more important objectives.
And this is precisely the reason why the Low does everything to keep us away from the Awakening, filling our days with everything to do, so as not to think of ourselves, thus preventing us from discovering who we are. It wants us to believe that we should live like everyone else, sleeping, that they have no other life goals other than those imposed by the Low Frequency. The Low knows much better than us that, if we wake up, the situation would change drastically and we would no longer be under his control, but we would be free. Therefore it is evident that, if he cares so much for us to sleep in unconsciousness, his goal is not only to let us follow nature, but also to make us completely forget who we are and who we have been, to prevent us from doing so in this life what we came here to do. The Low Frequency keeps us at a low frequency, in which we are really sleeping all our lives, although we believe we are awake. The only way to get out of the Low and start to understand how it works and learn to trick it – to become free from its chains – is to raise our vibration to a higher level than the one in which the Low is, and in which there is we find every day. As we get up in vibration, and therefore in tone, we can see the mechanisms that the Low uses to keep us low, thus learning to juggle between them so that they can no longer touch us. The only way to really raise your tone is to practice Meditation, which allows you to evolve your Consciousness, remember who you are, evolve your psychic faculties, and recognize that everything you don't like about your life can be changed, as it was first decided by the Low Frequency, but through Meditation you can decide how it should go. As the Matrix is the video game in which we are living without realizing it, the Low Frequency is the one who wants to stop us in this virtual reality to make us forget who we really are.
The reason I told you about Nature is to make you understand that the Low uses Nature to "hide" and not let you discover its presence, so that you remain unconscious of its influence in your daily life and continue to sleep for life. Understanding the Low may seem easy, but it takes time and you don't have to be in a hurry, because it is a much broader topic than it seems. Furthermore, getting out of its mechanisms and getting rid of its oppression that tries to make you stay dormant will require time, patience and concentration. This is because it will use your own mind to question your evolution and, if it is not enough, it will use the people around you to waste time and not have time to practice and raise your vibration, which would make you more aware of yours life and therefore free from Low. In the next lesson on Low Frequency I'll explain how it works and how you can use your mind, as well as the people around you, to keep you from finding your Awakening. In the meantime, I advise you to continue with the articles of Step 1 and start practicing the first session of Meditation. Until you know what it is like to be free from Low, you cannot recognize the great power that offers you to be free from its chains. By starting to practice Meditation and raising your vibration, however, you will realize it and wonder why you did not start earlier. Have patience and start metabolizing this concept, because it will be very useful during your journey.

It was a thrilling experience to pitch our business travel app to an audience of airline executives and many travel industry professionals at IATA's NDC Hackathon in Dubai last weekend. The hackathon challenged our team to come up with an app using an IATA NDC API that addresses a business travel challenge.
Our team was one of 24 that spent 28 hours coding non-stop to develop our idea into an actual app. We came up with a corporate travel booking assistant that we affectionately named 'Callie'.
Callie is a mobile application that uses the ThomasCook NDC API for shopping and booking. Callie can automatically propose business trips based upon a number of criteria, including meetings on your calendar, traveller preferences, and corporate policy. One of Callie's really cool talents is the ability to intelligently recommend extra business trips based on your customer portfolio or LinkedIn business connections, as well as leisure ideas based on your personal interests and Facebook connections.
Callie received very positive feedback, and we couldn't believe it when we were announced the winners of the Hackathon! This fantastic achievement was made possible by the Amadeus team, which included Olivier Amadieu (development coordinator), and our talented developers Thibaud Rohmer (integration and backend development), Benjamin Rey (integration and backend development), Yannick Adam (front end - UI), and Allister-Levi Sanchez (front end - UI). My role was Project Lead of a team comprised of four nationalities that met for the very first time at the airport on the way to Dubai. This diversity, coupled with the fact that I was one of four women out of 109 people to participate in the hackathon, really played a big part in bringing a truly innovative app to life.
I am very proud of the team for winning the Business Travel category as well as the SITA special prize for using its API for weather and QR codes. We will be donating the prize money to the Amadeus Corporate Social Responsibility program that supports scholarships for outstanding, disadvantaged students in information and communications technology and travel and tourism studies.
The next surprise came when IATA invited us to participate in the World Passenger Symposium in Dubai by pitching our idea to the airline and travel industry.
Callie will now move on to an incubation phase with IATA – so stay tuned for updates!

TROY — An estimated $1 million in damage to 19 vehicles, five RVs and the building and its contents have been reported following a fire at the Troy CarStar auto body shop on Kings Chapel on Tuesday evening.
The fire was reported around 6:25 p.m. Tuesday by a passer-by who heard the smoke alarms and saw smoke coming from the vents in the back of the building.
According to Assistant Chief Gary Stanley, the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Fire investigators are still trying to determine the exact amount of damage. No one was inside the building and no firefighter officials or personnel were injured in battling the blaze.
Stanley also said the business' paint booth was completely destroyed. He estimated it took two hours to contain the fire before officials could overhaul the building and its contents.
Stanley said business owners were working to restore electricity to open the businesses's offices, including Enterprise Rent-a-Car, this week.
All three Troy fire stations reported to the scene as well as Covington and Piqua fire departments. Casstown Volunteer Fire Department also was on stand-by at Station I in Troy during the incident.
