The Road Book 2017 has been arriving on people's doorsteps around the world since the end of November. It's been great fun seeing people open their parcels and share what people think about 'our baby'. After countless hours spent working on getting the finished book to print you start to look at it differently. As the pages become so familiar and you swap photo x for photo y, or change the layout of a page. After so long you're not sure if it's good or not anymore. Or if the change has made the book better or worse. Eventually all you can do is send the books out into the world and hope people like it!
Thankfully it seems you love it! 🙂
If you'd like a Road Book 2017 of your own we still have copies in stock right. Waiting for their new home!
Here's what a few people have been saying about the book.
It's here! We love it! @velofocus captures women's cycling from start to finish. A celebration of 2017. Get yours here: https://t.co/f5JgVOWirt #womenscycling pic.twitter.com/0LjQ7f9BBV

PIQUA — Students of gifted intervention specialist Becky Renegar are learning about math through game-playing, which Renegar says is effective for her students.
Renegar represented Piqua City Schools during the STEMconnector Town Hall, an interactive, online video conference that discussed the opportunities of STEM game-based learning, partnering with MIND Research Institute.
The conference was based out of Washington, D.C., and led by Tim Edwards, chief program officer at STEMconnector. STEMconnector is designed to track STEM education activity of organizations in all states.
Educators, students, programmers, and corporate representatives tuned in on the discussion. Renegar explained how game-based learning has benefitted her students.
"The amount of engagement with my students is drastically changing," Renegar said during the conference. "When they are able to interact through play, rather then completing, say, a worksheet, online games are great for them … the interaction is constantly engaging them."
Renegar's students are involved in online games that allow them to learn a skill beyond their grade level. "(Online games) gives (students) the challenges that they are ready to take on, so they are not waiting to learn."
Her students also participate in MIND Research Institute's K-12 Game-a-thon, which invites students from across the country to design and build their own math games that create solutions to mathematical problems and upload their video online to be judged.
Top projects get to be shown in person at the research institute's math fair in Chicago. Renegar's students have been involved in the tournament for two years, with three teams placing in the top five last year.
"I find the creativity involved in game design and making the video for the game-a-thon has definitely motivated my students," she said. "Many times, (students) are motivated to learn new math as the need arises."
A group of her students designed a skeeball machine for the game-a-thon one year and to do so, students needed to determine the slope of the ramp and had to learn the Pythagorean Theorem — they were only in third grade.
Renegar told Edwards that the school district has been "very supportive" of game-based learning and encourages it.
"At Piqua, our school motto is 'opportunity matters' and that really is true," she said. "(It's about) selling the opportunity to those in your district and to other teachers to support kids' needs and say 'hey, here's an opportunity that can really help kids.'"
"We know game-based learning is revolutionizing learning — in school and out of school — and clearly taking over some of the means of keeping kids engaged, so it is exciting," Edie Fraser, chief executive officer at STEMconnector said. " … (STEM game-based learning) will change our way of engaging in full, exciting careers."
The conference can be found online at www.stemconnector.org/townhall/leveraging-game-based-learning-increase-stem-engagement.

Dancing With The Stars Julianne Hough and hubby Brooks Laich both love to travel, and thankfully are the same page when it comes to vacations; the twosome is always looking for a holiday filled with adventure and activity.
Julianne's passion around heading to places unknown for some fun and frolic seems to make sense, considering her new job as Marriott Rewards Premiere Plus Credit Card spokesperson. She recently relayed in an interview that when it comes to the airport, she's a last-minute kind of traveler, which tends to frustrate the hubby.
Still, Travel and Leisure reported that while she may lack a little prep when it comes to getting to airport, she more than makes up for this in the packing department; where everything is meticulously done and there is no such thing as spontaneity – especially for vacationing outfits.
Julianne's trick? Taking a picture of a really great outfit, so it's on her camera roll. This enables her to have a quick and easy 'lookbook' when she's packing for a specific trip; a packing tip that her hubby now does as well.
Since packing is a breeze for these two, what's next on their travel agenda? The couple has a top three list for their next holiday destinations, which include: checking out wild gorillas in either Rwanda or Congo, the pyramids of Giza, or heading to the Carnival in Brazil.
And it's all about experience versus destination spots. As Hough puts it, it's more about what the two of them are going to do, rather than where they are going to go.
The couple is on the cusp of their one-year anniversary and while they do know they want to travel somewhere to celebrate it, they aren't sure exactly where as of yet.
One thing is for sure, they are sure to have a blast together wherever they end up.

WOW. And yet again, Debra Anastasia WOWed me. First of all, happy release week to this wickedly wonderful lady! The Revenger is live and up for grabs! I just gotta warn you tho… this book is no dark romance! It's a trap! Not sure what genre it should fall into, but it's kind of a mind-
fucking twisting-beautifully-sick-badass-fantasy-unsettling in a good way-kind of read! I really don't know what I'm talking about. Like, I have no words or correct phrase to describe it. Whew! I devoured it in a day. I couldn't wait until I got to know all the details, and so I had a one night stand with this book! I FLOVEd it!!! And the ending is awesome for me, others might wish for a different one but they are no Debra Anastasia. So yeah! Amazing job Deb! 😉
Check out these teasers…
Here is something new from Debra Anastasia… On Feb 22nd get ready to meet her new characters from The Revenger. I have no idea what it is about aside from the thought that it's dark and it's scary…but here's a sneak peek. 🙂
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Can I just say that I wouldn't mind if any of these guys stopped by my doorstep for trick or treat this Halloween?
No kidding.
Today I have a teaser and a giveaway to share with you. The teaser is from Death of the Spirit by Rick Chiantaretto. This is book two in the Crossing Death series. Make sure to check out the giveaway too!
Season of the Witch by Natasha Mostert
In her award-winning novel, Mostert blends alchemy, the art of memory, high magic and murder to create a highly original psychological thriller.
Gabriel Blackstone is a cool, hip, thoroughly twenty-first century Londoner with an unusual talent. A computer hacker by trade, he is also a remote viewer: able to 'slam a ride' through the minds of others.
But he uses his gift only reluctantly ― until he is contacted by an ex-lover who begs him to find her step-son, last seen months earlier in the company of two sisters.
And so Gabriel visits Monk House, a place where time seems to stand still, and where the rooms are dominated by the coded symbol of a cross and circle.
As winter closes in, Gabriel becomes increasingly bewitched by the house, and by its owners, the beautiful and mysterious Monk sisters. But even as he falls in love, he knows that one of them is a killer.
If you are looking for something different to read for Halloween, I would totally recommend this book. It was so refreshing to read a story told from a guy's point of view. This is NOT horror by any means, but it is creepy and dark.

The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton, TD, and the Irish Development Authority (IDA) Ireland, yesterday led the opening ceremony of a new Qualcomm Incorporated Global Technology Delivery Centre in Cork. The new centre will support Qualcomm's global operations teams in the delivery of best-in-class IT solutions, and aims to tap into local Cork and regional talent, creating new job opportunities for the area.
A hundred new technology jobs are to be created at the Mahon-based US technology company in Cork. Qualcomm has been in Cork since last April, and has had operations in Dublin for the past five years.
Headquartered in San Diego, Qualcomm is the world leader in 3G, 4G and next generation wireless technologies. The company has a 50% in the smartphone chip market and employs 26,600 people worldwide. The opening ceremony was attended by several Qualcomm executives.
"For more than 25 years, Qualcomm ideas and inventions have driven the evolution of digital communications. Ireland's successful track record with world-leading technology companies, availability of highly-skilled, technical talent along with a pro-business environment, all played a significant part in Qualcomm's decision to locate in Cork."
(Peggy Johnson, Executive VP, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc and President Global Market Development)
The news jobs are being supported by the IDA.
"This initiative by Qualcomm represents a significant opportunity for a world-leader in Cork and a further endorsement of Ireland's thriving technology cluster"
"The decision by Qualcomm is a particularly strong vote of confidence for the sector here. I would like to offer the on-going support of IDA Ireland to Qualcomm as the company continues to grow its Irish operations."
Barry O'Leary, CEO of IDA Ireland.
Qualcomm is also in discussions with IDA Ireland on the potential establishment of a Security and Encryption R&D centre through Qualcomm Mobile and Computing (QMC), a business unit of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated.

Love Your Hair Just Enough
Hair Loss From Hair Treatments
Imagine the hours in a week that are spent spraying, pulling, tugging, teasing at hair. How many 'new looks' are achieved with (hopefully) good dye jobs — maybe it's moving through the rainbow of brunettes to strawberry blondes or just maintaining our comfortable 'natural' colour. Colour is used to hide greying ends, to bring out the colour in those cheekbones and to mark new beginnings in life.
The occasional hair makeover is still a beautiful thing. Yet, to let that natural, beautiful hair live its natural, beautiful life, styling is best when minimal and gentle. Excessive styling is unfortunately one of the core culprits contributing to hair loss.
Hair does need pampering — it benefits from natural conditioning treatments and tender, consistent brushing to cut through knots and dreadlocks. This is different from using chemical hair treatments as well as bleach and many styling products, which create chaos on the scalp. The chemicals can cause scalp irritation. Many people develop rashes or allergic reactions. This isn't just on the surface, either — some of it may absorb into the bloodstream.
Styling is best when moderate also. Wrestling those curls into submission or twisting and tugging at those long locks to get them to lay, sit, stand exactly as desired can traumatise the hair. Harsh brushes, heating irons, clips, clasps and pins can do wonders, yet lead to breakage and hair loss.
And don't for a second imagine that this only applies to women. Men use hair colour for lots of reasons, often to tweak or enhance their look or to hide signs of ageing.
The best way forward: pay attention to the hair without overdoing it. Slow down on the hair dyes and try to learn to love the natural colour — grey is distinguished and can be super stylish these days. Embrace the silver fox! Over time, the hair follicles can heal and regenerate. Be tender and watch how hair treatments affect the hair. Through taking the time to observe any change in the health of the hair follicle and hair growth, this underlying cause may be identified and eradicated.
The World of Hair Dyes
Hair dyes do vary in their chemical makeup, though most contain ammonia or peroxide, which are the perpetrators of harmful effects to the hair follicle. These hair dyes also pose medical threats, as a small percentage will be absorbed through the scalp and into the bloodstream. As they travel from the bloodstream to the organs and tissues, these chemicals can spark an inflammatory response. Low-grade inflammation can cause a range of chronic medical issues, including autoimmune disease and the trigger of cancers and death. It is a cumulative condition, which increases with years of exposure to toxins and environmental pollutants. Hair dyes are just one of many pollutants.
How It Works
Semi-permanent colour lasts for several weeks – usually up to 26 shampoos, depending on how often the hair is washed. Store bought semi-permanent colours typically contain a little bit of peroxide, which will help cover up grey and let the colour seep and shine. The pre-colour molecules absorb into the hair cuticle and enter the cortex, producing medium sized colour molecules. Semi permanent colour is not the choice for going blonde or lighter, as they do not contain ammonia.
For lightening or more drastic new looks, permanent colour is necessary. These contain both ammonia and peroxide. Minute molecules penetrate the cortex, where they expand to a size, which cannot be washed out. Both hydrogen peroxide and ammonia may cause scalp irritations, which can lead to hair loss. Allergic reactions are not uncommon. Over time, hydrogen peroxide may modify the structure of the hair, resulting in poor shine and weakened hair strands. The destruction of the outer layer of hair removes its natural protection and can make hair noticeably brittle and prone to breakage.

Brigadeiro – Brazilian dessert
Brigadeiros are small fudgy balls that are popular in Brazil. This dessert occupies a space in almost all the parties in Brazil. I came to know about this recipe from my brother. He said it is so simple to make this at home but it will be a different sweet and dessert for the parties. Then I started to know more about this recipe.
Brigadeiro was created in Brazil in the honour of Brazilian Brigadier. They are made using condensed milk, cocoa powder, eggs, butter and sprinkles. Brigadeiro can be made without eggs too. This is an eggless verison. Though there are many versions of brigadeiros made today, this one is a classic recipe. This sweet can be made in no time and less effort is required to make this sweet. Since the condensed milk used is sweet, there is no need to add any additional sugar. I adapted this recipe from here.
Servings – 11 balls
Difficulty level – Easy
Condensed milk – 1 cup
Cocoa powder – 3 tbsp
Butter -2 cubes
Salt- A pinch
Chocolate noodles / Sprinkles – To coat
- In a pan add the sweet condensed milk and then the cocoa powder.
- Mix them well so that the condensed milk and the cocoa powder are blended together.
- At this stage add the butter and salt required for this recipe.
- Cook it, mixing constantly until it thickens. At pone stage the butter melts and the mixture starts thickening.
- A way to know is to run your wooden spoon (or spatula) in the middle of the mixture. At one point of time, the mixture leaves from the side.
- Turn off the stove and cool to room temperature.
- In a plate or bowl, spread your sprinkles.
- Once the brigadeiro is cool, grease your hands with butter and roll the brigadeiros into little balls like we make ladoos.
- Roll the brigadeiro balls into the sprinkles and place them in paper/foil candy cups.
- Easy and simple dessert is ready.

想给孩子找一家靠谱的少儿英语培训机构,其实培训机构排名可以不用看,首先要了解少儿学习英语的技巧才能帮孩子更好的选择培训机构,今天知青英语整理The Tax Charge来跟大家谈谈这个问题
The envelope had the words "Internal Revenue Service" printed on the outside. Oh no, Vaughn thought, this could be bad news. It was bad news. IRS had determined that Vaughn owed $963, plus $88 interest, from two years ago. They had disallowed a deduction for two reasons. One, his adjusted gross income that year was more than $40,000, and two, he was covered by an employer retirement plan. Therefore, said IRS, he was not allowed the deduction he had taken for his individual retirement account.
IRS sent him six pages of explanations and instructions. IRS included a returnable form with an "Agree" box and a "Disagree" box. If he checked Agree, he must pay the full amount. If he checked Disagree, he must send documentation supporting the reasons for his disagreement. If his documentation was correct, he would owe nothing.
He called the IRS 800 number just to make sure he had read the instructions correctly. An agent told him to simply send a check with the full amount whether he agreed or disagreed. If he disagreed but his documentation was correct, IRS would return the full amount of his check within eight weeks.
"Don't believe that agent. For now, just send them the documentation," advised Vaughn's brother later that day. "Make IRS wait for the money. It's your money, not theirs."

Goodbye Pic n Mix, Farewell Zavvi Too?
I have fond memories of Woolworths from childhood. On Saturdays, mum would take us up on the bus to Banbridge to see granny, and Woolies (and Wellworths as well) was a vital stopping point. Woolworths was where the pic n mix was bought. Woolworths was where the bargain cds were bought. Woolworths was where the pogs were bought. (Remember those?) Woolworths was where the football sticker album stickers were bought - always too many of one player and not enough Man United players! Woolworths was where the cheap novelty Christmas presents were bought. Woolworths was where my Coca-cola yoyo was bought from. Yes, happy times, with the promise of a pound or so from granny to spend on the way back to the bus.
Yet it appears that where Woolworths went wrong was that it lost its clear market focus. It got lost amid its own comprehensiveness, and ended up specialising in nothing. The world of retailing has moved on from cassette and later cd singles to iTunes and mp3s, at significantly reduced cost. Woolworths just couldn't compete.
There's a lesson there, both for anyone in business, but also for the church. It's important to keep the main thing the main thing. Know what you're about and do it. Wholeheartedly. Sadly Woolies didn't really know what they were about in the end, and the staff will suffer as a result, as well as our High Streets and town centres which will miss the familiar face of Woolworths.
Even worse, it now appears that in the decline of Woolies, it may take others with it - Zavvi (the shops formerly known as Virgin Megastores) have called in the administrators and a massive clearance sale has been launched.
It could be a very bleak new year indeed.
*** Bonus marks if you spotted a slight musical allusion in the title - I thought this might fit in well to the song 'It's a long way to Tipperary' replacing the line 'Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square'. OK, maybe you don't see it. Fine!

Glad to hear you're better.ReplyDelete
But did you have to put your title to a tune ... I'm going to be singing that for the rest of the night much to the horror and annoyance of my family!!
PS pogs - remind me please?
Pogs - I'm trying to remember them myself - I can remember the name. I think they were the circular discs with pictures of cartoon characters on them. They were traded or won and lost in competitions - something about them being in a stack and trying to knock them over? Might just have to google it myself!!!ReplyDelete
Yeah, see good old Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PogsReplyDelete
As to the music element - it makes the titles much more catchy (or should that read annoying???)

On the new credit card rules announced today by the Financial Conduct Authority, Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, said:
"Credit card minimum repayments are dangerous – as the repayment drops with what you owe, keeping you in debt for decades.With £3,000 debt at 17.9% interest it can take 27 years to repay, yet if you fixed your repayments at £70, the minimum level for month one, you'd clear it 22 years sooner, saving £2,400 in interest.
"That's why the FCA's move to make card companies intervene on long term debt is in general a good one.However there is once concern here.Those who have multiple credit card debts should always focus on clearing the one with the highest rate first, and only making minimum repayments on the others. This way you get rid of the one that's most expensive and accruing the highest interest.So if credit card firms push those doing this to repay more on their card, taking repayments away from even worse deals, it could have perverse consequences.The FCA must ensure card firms look at the entirety of someone's debts, not just their own."

Two businessmen toting briefcases have just arrived. From the bias-cut control tower down, this is a perfect ultra-modern mid-century scene. A T L A N T A marks the spot; a boxy building dressed in stripes; streetlights with dinosaur necks, giant lasagna noodle roofline, elevated streets and covered sidewalks. The turquoise and white color scheme is perfectly coordinated. Even the sky matches.
Last week I visited the fine city of Atlanta for the first time. The premiere of the new musical, The Color Purple, was the occasion. My dear friend, Allee Willis, co-wrote the songs. The show is AMAZING and will be a mega hit on Broadway!
While in town I ate at nearly every vintage eatery beginning with a 3am in-the-morning trip to The Majestic, a genuine diner serving since 1928. The pink neon signage was just about as exciting as the cockroaches were friendly. At The Silver Skillet, a greasy spoon diner serving since 1956, delicious banana pudding is a specialty. It's the only place I've ever been where the customers write up the order on the check themselves and hand it to the waitress. At Mary Mac's serving since 1945, heaping portions of traditional southern dishes like fried chicken are served up family style.
I got a buzz drinking namesake beverage at the museum of world's most famous and promoted product and Georgia's greatest claim to fame – Coca Cola. As if I wasn't high enough already I then downed a tiki-licious rum and Coke at the 1967 Trader Vic's in the Hilton. Then off to the grave of Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone with the Wind. She died tragically in 1949 after being hit by a taxi. That was followed by an outing to suburban Atlanta, to drive by the 41-year old big chicken towering five stories tall over a KFC.
My final hour in Atlanta was spent at the world's largest drive-in restaurant, the Varsity, serving since 1928. During peak hours it takes a hundred carhops to serve the customers.
But Mother Nature provided the most surprising and unexpected experience of the journey. While on my little side-road trip to Tennessee I took a boat ride on the Lost Sea, the largest underground lake in the USA. I kept thinking to myself "this reminds me of a ride at Disneyland!"
Cheers to Atlanta, the Lost Sea and YOU!!

Dear AFTRA Member:
As you know, AFTRA has been in negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on our contract covering primetime network dramatic programs—also known as Exhibit A—since May 7. Because a press blackout is in effect for these talks, I felt it was important to contact you directly with you a brief update.
We are confronting a number of challenging issues, and a resolution may not be quick or easy. However, our discussions with the Industry have been professional and businesslike, and we remain focused on continuing negotiations in this vein.
As expected, there are several significant issues in the area of New Media—including, most notably, how AFTRA members will participate in original New Media productions, and under what circumstances employers can exploit excerpts from traditional TV programs in New Media. The AFTRA Negotiating Committee is engaged in thoughtful and pragmatic discussions about how to ensure that performers are best protected as we consider these thorny issues. We've already delivered a strong message that performers will not relinquish consent for excerpts in New Media, which would compromise the integrity of members' work, their reputations, or their employability in scripted programming. The Negotiating Committee is also mindful of the hard realities affecting the television business today—including audience fragmentation, piracy, and the other complexities arising out of the fast-evolving New Media landscape—and the impact this has on the wages and job opportunities for working performers.
AFTRA members and the Industry should be able, given appropriate safeguards, to satisfy and profit from the consumers' desire to access content through legitimate New Media sources, as opposed to the unlawful and uncompensated piracy that threatens the entire entertainment industry. There are no easy solutions, which means that our Negotiating Committee must be both innovative and pragmatic, and the Industry must also embrace a realistic approach.
Given the rapid changes happening around us, we cannot afford to waste any time chasing rainbows. Our obligations to AFTRA members requires us to be focused, firm, and solutions-minded in order to effectively ensure that working performers have a fair and realistic chance to participate in the future of the television industry.
I want to acknowledge the work of your Negotiating Committee Chair, Matt Kimbrough. Matt has demonstrated stellar leadership in keeping our committee energized and focused during these tough talks. The members of the AFTRA Negotiating Committee—all of whom are volunteers—have devoted a tremendous amount of time and energy to achieving meaningful contract improvements for all members working in primetime television. I appreciate the hard work and dedication of Polly Adams, Dave Andriole, Bobbie Bates, Alan Blumenfeld, Susan Boyd Joyce, Stephen Collins, Milo Edwards, Jason George, Jay Gerber, Holter Graham, Robert Pine, Sam Robards, and Ann Walker, as well as other members of the committee who have attended negotiations in person or by teleconference during the past ten days.
As you know, AFTRA members recently voted to ratify the new Network Code. While Exhibit A is very different from the Network Code, what we learned and gained from the Network Code negotiations is proving enormously useful in our current talks. AFTRA also twice delayed our own primetime negotiations so the Screen Actors Guild could continue theirs, and this respect and courtesy was reciprocated by our brothers and sisters in the Guild who shared their experiences during the primetime/theatrical talks they had with the AMPTP shortly before we began our own discussions.
Negotiations resume today, so please continue to support the efforts of your Negotiating Committee to find creative solutions that protect and enhance the lives of working performers. We want to hear from you, and encourage you to email email@example.com to share your questions, feedback, and support.
Thank you for your participation in your union and your solidarity within the community of professional performers.
In solidarity,

Lia Batkin co-founded In the Know Experiences, a luxury travel company that improves upon the rigid and basic travel agency formula of the past. We spoke with Lia to understand the innovation she's bringing to the travel industry, to learn what up-and-coming destinations will be popping up on our IG feeds soon, and to get an expert's advice on traveling with kids!
How did your own travel experiences inspire you to start In the Know Experiences? What problem did you immediately set out to solve?
We created In the Know Experiences after a disastrous trip to Argentina. What we thought would be the best trip of our lives turned out to be the worst! We spent hours and hours on the internet doing research for this trip, but still we ended up going at the wrong time of year, staying in the wrong hotels, and planning to eat and shop at restaurants and stores that turned out to be closed for the season. We realized that we needed the same level of insider knowledge we were accustomed to in New York; we needed a local's perspective to create a one-of-a-kind experience that would be truly personalized. So we set out to create a company that would leverage insider knowledge to provide clients with experiences tailored to their specific passion points.
How have your business and clientele evolved over the year?
When we first started, we really only catered to a younger demographic, mostly people in their twenties and thirties. Over a decade later, not only are those people still our clients, but their parents have also become our clients. They too want to travel in a more creative, personalized way. Prior to finding us, they were just booking online or working with more traditional travel agencies. So, now I would say our clientele is more about a psychographic instead of an age demographic.
What not-yet-trendy destinations do you think we'll see popping up on our IG feeds in the next year or two?
Ischia in Italy, Paros and Antiparos in Greece, Bolivia, Tallinn in Estonia, Luang Prabang in Laos, Comporta in Portugal, Tbilisi in Georgia.
What are your favorite under-the-radar, kid-friendly hotels?
Grand Velas properties all over Mexico, Chileno Bay in Cabo, Ritz Carlton Cayman Island, Taylor River in Colorado, Lucknam Park outside of London, Zemi Beach House in Anguilla, Verdura in Sicily, Marbella Club in Marbella, Montage Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina, Hotel del Coronado in San Diego.
What do you find are the most common priorities among parents planning family trips? What kinds of experiences do families love most?
I would say connecting rooms or villas that are kid-friendly, a.k.a. safe. Everyone is completely different—some want a great kids pool, a swimmable and calm beach, a great kids club or activities like cooking classes, surf lessons, or local activities like pontoon rides through mangroves, going crabbing, dolphin experiences and more. Then you have families looking for more cultural destinations so that they can show their children how other people live, but that is usually for children who are a bit older. We've also seen a big trend in families wanting to include a day of giving back while they are in different countries.
Where have you taken your own daughter so far?
We took her to France for two weeks when she was three months old, as well as Florida three times, and the Caribbean once. I have to say she was great on all the flights but we do try to schedule them during her nap times so she sleeps a little bit. Of course the younger they are, the easier it is to travel with them!
What are your best tips for traveling with a baby?
Make sure you prepare and bring at least two changes of clothes, lots of toys that don't make too much noise, snacks, and of course a bag of ear plugs for the people around you just in case! But my biggest one is actually for arriving at a destination. Make sure you think about your arrival time as it corresponds to naps, etc. If you are arriving at a hotel at 10 AM when regular check in is at 4 PM, always have a backup plan in case your room is not ready. You can ask the hotel if they have a hospitality room, or maybe book a cabana by the pool. If it will put your mind at ease and you are arriving very early, then maybe pre-book the night before so that you are not starting off your vacation stressing.
As a relatively new mama, how has motherhood changed your approach to your work life?
Of course now I have to fit a lot more into my day to day, so I might work from home in the morning in order to watch her play even if I am on calls. I try not to schedule as many evening events so that I can be home to put her to bed. But, to be honest, it's made me a bit more efficient in what I do and how I get it done, which feels really good! That being said, I have had to become more comfortable with not being able to do everything I did before, like traveling as much, going to business dinners and parties, et cetera. I'm also learning to be okay with allowing my team to fill in for me and take the reins more when representing our company.
Tell us about your work with independent contractors…any work-from-home moms among them?
We have developed this amazing side of our business, a network of independent consultants, that empowers individuals who want to start or grow their own luxury travel business while working on their own time! It's a great way to tap into an exciting industry—especially if you're looking for a career switch or are wanting to get back to work after having a baby. As a host, we not only provide all the necessary training, tools and support that we've grown throughout the years, but we also give our consultants access to our exclusive rates, benefits, and an extensive network of preferred suppliers and vendors, which isn't something anyone can just get overnight. It also helps that we all have a very similar clientele, so everyone is able to lean on each other for feedback and recommendations when unfamiliar with a hotel or destination, which makes growth that much easier.
And yes! We have a ton of moms who do this. I actually call this side of our business "Avon lady for travel." Honestly, it's the perfect job, as it allows moms to work from home (or really from anywhere) on their own hours, make some great money, and work in an amazingly creative and growing industry.
It takes a village—ask for help when you need it.
Take advice, but do your own research. Something that works for someone else might not work for you or your child.
Try to be present when you can, even if just for 10 minutes at a time. It makes all the difference for the kiddies and for you, too!

Number of servings : 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Type of meal : | Main Courses | Main Courses
Special diet :
1⁄2 cup chicken stock
2 shallots
1 stalk lemongrass
3 fresh or dried kaffir lime leaves
3⁄4 lb (335g) fresh scallops
6oz (170g) snow peas
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons Thai green curry paste
⅔ cup (150ml) coconut milk
A few sprigs of fresh coriander
- Heat the stock in a small saucepan over a moderate heat.
- Peel the shallots and chop them finely. Remove and discard the outer section of the lemongrass, then chop the stalk finely. Chop or crumble the kaffir lime leaves.
- Rinse the scallops and pat them dry, leaving any corals intact. If the scallops are large, cut them into discs. Rinse the snow peas, top and tail them, and cut them in half crosswise.
- Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan until it shows a faint haze. Add the shallots, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, scallops, and snow peas to the pan and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
- Stir the curry paste into the stock, then add it to the pan with the coconut milk. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse, dry, and chop the coriander leaves. Transfer the cooked scallops to a serving dish and sprinkle the coriander on top.
Cook's Suggestion: Kaffir lime is a South-east Asian citrus fruit whose leaves and rind both have a strong, flowery, lime-and-lemon scent. You will find fresh and/or dried leaves in larger supermarkets or oriental grocery stores.

INDIANAPOLIS (WNDU) - The deaths of three children at their Fulton County bus stop is on the minds of lawmakers in Indianapolis.
As Tricia Sloma was first to report on Monday, lawmakers filed new bills designed to prevent bus stop tragedies from happening again.
Tricia was back in Indianapolis again Tuesday to attend a news conference, and the school bus safety campaign is underway.
This Thursday, Jan. 10 is the deadline for lawmakers to file their bills in the new session. Already, a handful of school bus safety bills – bills motivated by the deaths of three children in Fulton County – are in the mix.
On Tuesday at the Indiana Statehouse, Sen. Randy Head, R-Logansport, was joined by lawmakers who also have bus safety bills or support the legislation.
"The bones of Senate Bill No. 2 are that it will raise penalties for people who violate traffic safety laws regarding stopped school buses by going around stopped school buses with the stop arm extended," Head said. "It says on state highways, no child should cross a lane of traffic while getting on the bus or leaving the bus, unless there's no other alternative, and it allows school districts to petition relative authorities to reduce speeds at bus stops."
Family members of the three Fulton County victims were on hand to express their support, appreciation and passion for strict new laws.
"I support this bill 100 percent," said Brittany Ingle who lost three children in October. "And we're very, very passionate about this. Our children meant the world to us."
"Safety is our No. 1 concern," Shane Ingle said. "[It's] still is our No. 1 concern. And we care. This is our drive. This is important."

Legislative Council Electoral System
The NSW Upper House is comprised of 93 MLCs (Members of the Legislative Council) and operates under an proportional optional-preferential system, partly similar to that introduced in the Federal Senate in 2016. In this system the state is treated as a single electorate and seats are distributed according to the number of quotas a party gets. Quotas are typically 4.55% of the vote.
This system provides the option of allocating as many preferences desired but also allows an individual to simply vote 1 and let their vote exhaust. Voting below the line, on the other hand, requires a minimum of 15 votes to be considered formal. Unlike the Lower House, when a vote exhausts it doesn't affect the number of votes required for a quota, which remains at 4.55% (half that at double dissolution elections). As votes exhaust entire seats are just simply lost. Those left standing when there are no more votes to trade, the system adopts a First Past the Post approach and a simple tally of how many votes each person has is continued until all seats are filled.

Deciding to quit from drug addiction is a big step you need to take towards your recovery. However, this decision comes with a myriad of questions and concerns. Where do you start? Who do you approach? Which is the best drug rehab Sydney has to offer? And, which rehabilitation program will suit you best? These questions can be overwhelming, but luckily there is a lot of information you can get from drug rehab Sydney offers or their websites.
A major concern for those struggling with substance abuse is how to find the right program. There are so many programs to choose from. The reason behind the numerous drug rehab programs Sydney offers is the fact that treatment is not the same for everyone. The choice of your program may be affected by:
- The drug or drugs you're abusing
- Your physical and mental health, and your medical history
- Your family and social support
- Your insurance cover
- The treatment cost
Questions to ask about a treatment program
Treatment should be individualized. Preferably, your therapist should develop a personalized treatment plan for you and provide ongoing evaluations. If a program does not measure up to these basics, think twice. While two addicts may have used the same substance, their needs during recovery are unique. In simple terms, the one-size-fits-all programs do not often work with drug and alcohol addicts. With so many Sydney drug rehab programs, how do you choice the best fit for you? The questions listed below will guide you towards making the right choice.
- Is the program properly licensed?
- What accreditation has the program been awarded?
- Does the treatment program involve certified therapists, physicians, and nurses?
- Does the rehabilitation program have an inpatient medical-based detox unit?
- Does the drug and alcohol program provide specialty programs like for older adults, adolescents, and women?
- Are there 24-hour onsite medical staffs in the program?
- Does the program give assistance to additional health issues such as tuberculosis and HIV-AIDS?
- What is the ratio between patients and treatment staff?
- Does the rehabilitation plan provide a family therapy program?
- Does the drug and alcohol treatment program have a variety of therapies (therapeutic modalities)?
- Are there case managers for each addict in the program?
- What insurance or payment methods does the rehabilitation program accept?
- What relapse prevention approaches are employed in the program?
Why you should take a treatment program away from your home, preferably outside your state
Research disapproves self-help treatments or home treatments. Why is this so? Drug addiction is, to a large extent, exacerbated by triggers and associations – the environmental cues that set off the urge to use. It takes skills, knowledge, and awareness to break off the addictive thinking and behavior. Check Noosa Confidential for more details.
Instead of a home-based program, you should choose one of the drug rehab programs Sydney offers away from your neighborhood. By moving to a drug rehab Sydney facility, you'll not only escape from triggers but also truly focus on the addiction and how to get out of it. For the best outcome, choose a rehab program miles or states away from your home.

Li, Tongxia (2016) The determinants of leasing: evidence from chinese listed SMEs. Masters thesis, Universiti Malaysia Sabah.
The determinants of leasing.pdf
Download (14MB) | Preview
Although lease has been developed into one of the most important financing instruments, particularly for small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs), few studies examine the determinants of leasing in China. This study investigates the determinants of leasing for a sample of China-based non-financial firms listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange SMEs Board over the period of 2009 to 2013. The methodologies employed in this study include ordinary lest square (OLS), fixed effects (FE) model, random effects (RE) model, and instrument variable techniques. The empirical results show that operating lease share increases with ownership, tax rate, and firm size; it decreases with debt ratio, tangibility, and dividend dummy. Non-manufacturing firms are more likely to lease (both operating lease and capital lease). Capital lease share increases with debt ratio and firm size. Firms with a higher financial distress tend to use more capital lease financing. The test results for total lease share are similar to those for operating lease share. Finally, the robustness checks by employing 2SLS-FE and 2SLS-RE show consistent results.

There are a few whispers coming from the ANC NEC meeting this weekend which suggests the party are considering the possibility of holding early elections, before the scheduled period of winter 2019.
As reported by News 24, unnamed sources believe that there is a window of opportunity where they can exploit the disorganisation of the opposition, and capitalise on the waves of positivity surrounding President Cyril Ramaphosa.
What weaknesses are the DA and EFF showing?
Recently, the DA has looked a little worse for wear due to what's been happening in Cape Town. They have been lambasted for trying to force Patricia de Lille out of her mayoral office, and questions have been raised regarding their handling of the Mother City's water crisis.
Meanwhile, the EFF is in danger of rubbing-up potential voters the wrong way. Julius Malema's racially-charged language – as well as a recent altercation involving Floyd Shivambu and a journalist – have put the red berets in a negative light.
Who would early elections benefit the most?
The move would certainly be classed a gamble if it went ahead, however. South Africa has only been rid of Jacob Zuma for little over a month but will bear the scars of his ANC leadership for quite some time.
With corruption, state capture and the legal dramas of the last President still fresh in the minds of many, early elections would be incredibly hard to predict. The "Ramaphoria" effect may even need more time to win over the floating voters.
One of the anonymous ANC members told News 24 it was "important to capture the positivity" that has emerged since Zuma's removal. It's believed that going to the polls sooner rather than later would help Ramaphosa strengthen his authority as leader.
What problems does the ANC face?
It remains difficult to ignore certain obstacles, however. The regions of KwaZulu-Natal and Free State still have to re-elect their Provincial Elective Committee (PEC) members.
Furthermore, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) have only just started the administrative processes of voter registration. Holding a vote earlier than scheduled would place an extreme demand on the organisation.
The ANC NEC is due to resolve their weekend meeting on Sunday afternoon. Secretary-General Ace Magashule will confirm if early elections have been tabled.

Cincinnati Reds defeat St. Louis Cardinals, 8-3
CINCINNATI - For a second straight start, there was no Great Escape for Calamity Kyle.
A season of tumbles from the mound, late-night hospital visits, line drives off the elbow and close encounters at first base ensnared Cardinals starting pitcher Kyle Lohse once again Saturday evening.
Relatively unscathed by a fourth-inning play in which he found himself nearly trampled, Lohse (3-2) could not sidestep a five-run sixth inning in what ended an 8-3 loss to the Cincinn...

Our objective is to bring our readers and followers stories about people and places that will enlighten and inspire.
Somebody, or probably a lot of them at the front of the pack are probably grinding their gears as hard as they can to take the lead. Me? I'm MAYBE near the middle of a long line of brightly dressed cyclists. I'm happily keeping a pace that allows me to look around and enjoy the view. While they dash for the destination, I'm happy on the journey. Participating in a Gran Fondo cycling event, is a great way for cyclists of every ability to enjoy the freedom of the highway where friendly volunteers fuel you and cheer you on.
Somewhere between being shot out of the waterslide like a cannon ball and jumping off the top deck into shimmering Shuswap Lake, we declare houseboating our new favourite way to vacation.
"This whole area is one fantastic, giant archeological site," Candace Campo told me as we convened near the picnic area of Porpoise Bay Provincial Park on the Sunshine Coast.
Candace, who was wearing a beautifully woven cedar headband, explained the entire park area is a traditional Sechelt First Nation village site, filled with resources, history, and even her own childhood memories.
Roxanne Jerema's journey from working as a taxidermist in land-locked Saskatchewan to running a fishing charter on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast are worlds apart.
The project's premise was simple: one tree equals one sea-worthy canoe built by many hands, some more experienced than others.
As dusk descends, an explosion of violence shatters the tranquility of the world's largest remaining tract of unspoiled ancient temperate rainforest. The chase is on.
The wind is strong from the east. Our jackets flap, our hair tangles and our invisible scent carries with the wind. If it was our day for driving the buffalo over the edge of the cliff, we'd go hungry. The massive mammals would have smelled us long ago and thundered away. At Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump World Heritage Site near Fort McLeod, you find out just how much that buffalo meant for survival for the Blackfoot Nation.
On April 29, 1903 at 4:10 a.m., 82 million tons of rock broke off Turtle Mountain's summit and came hurtling down on the sleeping town of Frank. While the slide avoided the main part of town, at least 90 people were killed. The Frank Slide Interpretive Centre describes what life was like before, during, and after the disaster, and shares amazing tales of heroism and survival through modern, hands-on exhibits.
"We like to say that Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump and the Royal Tyrrell Museum are the battleships, and we are the Royal Yacht," says Howard Snyder, manager of the Remington Carriage Museum with a twinkle in his eye. There is indeed a regal feeling about this grand building – at 64,000 square feet – full of carriages that have transported dignitaries such as Queen Elizabeth II, Pierre Trudeau, and Ulysses S. Grant.
Whew! It's been hectic! Between rounding up friends and families for festive cheer or blasting through the snow on winter adventures, its been one busy holiday season. You might be tempted to constantly be on the go—even while on a getaway in the mountains. While all those decadent holiday meals may have you wanting to hit the slopes 24/7, it's just as important to take time for some "Me Time."
Winter is a tough season for some people to get excited about. It's cold and dark so it takes extra effort to find motivation. Add in the festive season and stress levels peak. Don't let the season bring you down. Here are our top ways to pick up your mood and hopefully reduce some stress.
Make this the year to finally take that ski holiday in western Canada, because if the early-season snow that's been consistently falling any indication, you're in for a treat.
Getting the chance to experience the northern lights is a bucket list item for many people. There is something ethereal and a little bit haunting about the beautiful display of colours and the ephemeral nature of the aurora borealis that causes people to flock to them.
Do we really need to drive into the outback then strap on gear and backpacks to trek 20 kilometres just to stand in awe of amazing scenery? Nope. Check out these awesome hikes with incredible views.
Gord, I was one of those thousands of faces in the crowds at over a dozen of your shows. And, you know what happened every time that can only be described as an electrifying experience that is a Tragically Hip concert?
…with a little lore to help
Is it a fir? Or is it a spruce? Maybe it's a pine. Maybe we'll just keep walking and admire the shrubs instead. I don't know about you, but calling all trees with spikey green needles a Christmas tree doesn't cut it.
It was a classic British Columbia day with the morning fog hanging in the air, creating a magical atmosphere and making the colours of autumn seem more vibrant. Moments later the sun would peek through.
The drive up to Myra Canyon, just 30 minutes outside of Kelowna B.C., was a bumpy one, so my expectations for our bike ride were that it might get a bit gnarly.
Someone, take my pulse, I thought as we flew over the Okanagan on a gorgeous fall day. My adrenaline was pumping as we were being treated to an awesome aerial perspective flying on a helicopter – without doors – over Mission Hill winery, Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley.

Overlooking the Yakima Valley from the scenic Northern hills, this home seems to want to take off. And that is exactly what the Architect wanted. The owner wanted to enjoy the valley from every angle of the site. Almost magically that is exactly what Artisan, Inc. achieved together with the owners, the architect, and the landscape designers.

The decision of who to cut to make room on the roster for newly activated Tank Johnson was decided for the Cowboys after having to place rookie FB Deon Anderson on IR yesterday. Anderson suffered a torn rotator cuff in the win Sunday night over the Eagles.
Although this may seem a simple solution to the roster problem, Coach Phillips says he may not be finished making roster adjustments. Specifically, he states that since they are now somewhat short at the fullback position, they may have to look into possibly bringing in another one. With Oliver Hoyte coming off of a six-week neck injury, that might not be a bad idea.
Johnson will be extremely useful in an improved Dallas defense, mainly in giving relief to current NT Jay Ratliff, who has really played well of late, and in other designed defenses. He is expected to provide some extra push in the middle of the defensive line that some say the Cowboys have been missing, but considering their stats against the run in recent weeks, it will just be added strength, in my opinion.
With a huge game looming against the Giants this Sunday, the addition of Johnson will prove extremely timely as I expect this time, the game will have considerably less scoring and be more of a defensive battle than the Week 1 matchup.
As for the choice of photo, I just love this one and the play made by Witten, who probably assured himself of yet another Pro-Bowl appearance Sunday night.

Twentieth Century Fox and Genting Unveil Plans for New Malaysian Theme Park
Destination & Tourism James Ruggia July 26, 2013
The world's first international Twentieth Century Fox Theme Park will open in 2016 at Malaysia's Resorts World Genting (RWG) thanks to a new licensing partnership between Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products and RWG.

The partnership brings together the world's largest destination resort operator in RWG and one of the world's largest producers and distributors of entertainment content in the world in TCF.
RWG is investing some $125 million (RM 400 million) in the 25-acre park. More TCF-based attractions will be announced at a later date. The park will also feature a host of TCF characters in a daily "Dream Parade" of animatronics parade based on all characters and titles represented at the theme park
The Genting Theme Park first opened in 1978 as the Genting Amusement and Recreation Park. In the last two years the park has hosted more than 40 million visitors from both domestic and international markets. The operators hope the new theme park, designed for children and adults, will attract even more visitors from Malaysia and abroad. The existing theme park will close on Sept. 1 in order to begin construction of the new park.
RWG operates six hotels, 200 dining and retail outlets, mega shows, convention facilities, 40 rides.

I have an MSI 970A-G43 motherboard and I have two Rosewill RFX-120 fans connected to the sysfan1 and sysfan2 connectors in the motherboard. The fan connected to the sysfan2 port is not being detected by the motherboard although it is receiving power since it is spinning. The fan connected to sysfan1 is being recognized by the motherboard and is labeled as "system fan 1" by the msi's software "control center". I also used the app "CPUID Hardware Monitor" to make sure that the problem wasn't just with msi's app. Here is a screenshot of both apps.(click on the image to see in full size). In the picture, only two fans' RPM is being detected(CPU fan and the one in sysfan1). The fan connected to sysfan2 is seen as having an RPM of 0 even though it is rotating.
I also used a fan speed control app to confirm that the fan being monitored was the one in sysfan1 connector. I used the app to stop the fan that was being recognized as system fan and indeed it was the fan connected to sysfan1 to that was brought to a stop. This also means that the sysfan1 and sysfan2 connectors are not synchronized or meant to be detected together as one fan.
The only difference in the the sysfan1 and sysfan2 connectors is that sysfan1 has 4 pins and sysfan2 has 3 pins. However, both fans are 3-pin fans meaning that the additional pin in sysfan1 is not being used and thus should not make a difference.

I've read a few cyberpunk and popular science books over the last few years, and I thought it'd be fun to catalogue them online and see whether there were folks who might suggest close matches to the micro-genres I've enjoyed.
To that end, I started looking around for websites that might provide this service.
This should probably be seen in the context of similar searching a while back, which lead to checking out Collectorz to catalogue my CD collection [so last century I know! ;-)].
- GoodReads
- Second most established
- LibraryThing
- Seems to the most established
- Shelfari
- Owned by Amazon (altho others get book data from Amazon)
- WeRead
- Is this the most recent of the 4
A google search for comparisons of the four yielded these:
- http://booksellerchick.blogspot.com/2008/10/goodreads-librarything-shelfari-one-to.html
- http://booksellerchick.blogspot.com/2008/10/goodreads-shelfari-and-librarything.html
- http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=librarything+or+goodread&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a
- http://wochan.wordpress.com/2008/01/12/my-librarything-barcode-scanner-and-i/
However, this post looks like the clincher. I have therefore signed up with this account at GoodReads.
Whilst checking out Collectorz, I found that one can scan the barcode of the CDs (and hence books) to more rapidly upload the details to the Web / desktop application.
The scanner of choice seems to be CueCat. Initially LibraryThing had this post and I thought LT would be the way to go. Happily this help item on GoodReads shows GR do the same, so CueCat is now on my birthday list!
If I go with Collectorz for CDs, I will let you know. I see there is discussion on GR re cataloguing CDs, but it's not mainstream.

NAAT seeks integrity test for varsity vice chancellors before appointment
This was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the Association's 31st National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue State.
The association also stressed its earlier call on the Federal Government to beam its anti-corruption searchlight in the ivory towers with the aim of reducing frauds in the academic circle to barest minimum.
The communiqué, which was signed by the National President of the Association, Sani Suleiman General Secretary, Iyoyo, Hamilton read in part: "NAAT re-echoes its earlier call that Government should beam its search light on the financial activities of the Nigerian Universities so as to tackle corruption head-long in the system. In the same vein, NAAT advises that integrity test should be carried out before the appointment of Vice-Chancellors. This advice has become imperative in the light of recent unsavoury developments in the university system."
NAAT also urged the National Assembly to ensure early passage of the proposed 2017 Appropriation Bill to speed up the implementation process.It said: "NAAT observes that our budget projections are always made to encourage and sustain capital flight. So much money is voted for capital projects, which at the end are handled by big multinational companies, which domicile the funds outside Nigeria. This deprives the local economy of sufficient funds to sustain the domestic economic growth. NAAT frowns at this arrangement because we need to grow our national economy to be able to train our Engineers, Technologists and other Professionals. Government should therefore put this factor into consideration when awarding contracts."
The communiqué frowned at the inadequate budgetary allocation of N50 billion to education sector in the proposed 2017 Appropriation Bill, which is less than 10 per cent of the total budget and recommends improved allocation to education as a panacea to recovery from the current economic recession.
The Association declared that the non-implementation of 2009 agreement could snowball into another round of industrial action if not speedily implemented in the New Year.
It added: "NAAT observed with dismay the reluctance of Government to implement the 2009 Agreements they freely entered into with the Unions, and strongly urges the Government to fully implement the Agreements to avert industrial disharmony."
In the same vein, it charged the Federal Government to beef-up efforts to tackle kidnapping, bloody clashes between herdsmen and farmers, pre- and post-election violence as recently experienced in some parts of the country.
The Association flayed some state governments for owing several months of workers salaries and allowances, despite the bailout funds.It urged the Federal Government to monitor and ensure compliance to the conditions attached to the recently release funds for the payment of workers' salaries.
NAAT commends FGN on the release of the second tranche of bailout fund to state governments for the payment of outstanding salaries and allowances. The Association lauded the Federal Government's Youth Initiative for Sustainable Agriculture (YISA) Programme as one of the ways to tackle unemployment and food insecurity.

I had booked a ticket for travel through Indian Railways using IRCTC and got a confirmed ticket. While booking, I mentioned the details of a four year old child who will also be traveling.but it does not get mentioned in ticket anywhere.
Will it create any problem while boarding the train?
