At long last, here is my review of the December 2012 SeasonsBox! This is a brand new subscription service that promises 3-5 full-size luxury products for your home, body, and spirit. The box ships out of Brampton, Ontario, Canada and is available to Canadian and U.S. residents.
I've been looking for a box that is not exclusively beauty products so I was pretty excited by SeasonsBox's concept. Based on the name of the box, I initially assumed that this would be a quarterly (or seasonal box). However, after exchanging a few e-mails with Agnes (the founder), I learned that, besides curating boxes themed with a particular season (i.e., winter, spring, summer fall), SeasonsBox will also be curating boxes themed with specific holidays (e.g., Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Halloween). The contents of every box are intended to stimulate your senses with the scents and flavours associated with a season or holiday.
SeasonsBox provides a preview of the products at the beginning of the month. Each box will also include a little surprise as a bonus. To access the preview, you can visit the SeasonsBox website or like the SeasonsBox Facebook page for updates.
// Price //
This box is on the higher end in terms of price. The reason is because SeasonsBox provides high quality, luxury, and full-size products (versus samples) with a focus on natural and responsible products. The products are also sourced from various places around the world and most of them are not available in commercial stores.
The price of a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase is $29.95 plus $4.95 shipping. The prices per box decrease if you purchase a subscription for multiple months (i.e., 3, 6, or 12 month). The current prices including shipping are as follows:
- Bill monthly for $34.90
- 3 months for $99.70
- 6 months for $174.50
- 12 months for $250 (note that this is an introductory offer - there was a pricing error on the website but SeasonsBox will be honouring the lower price until the end of January. The regular price for the 12 month subscription is $349.)
- One time purchase or gift for $34.90
Agnes confirmed to one of my Youtube viewers that you will be allowed to skip months under the 12 month subscription plan (you just have to send an e-mail noting which month you'd like to skip).
// December SeasonsBox //
Now that you know a little about the box, here is what I received in the December SeasonsBox (in order of appearance in the video):
The packaging is simple yet classy - a substantial sized unmarked box, tied with a red ribbon. Inside, the products are nestled in lots of red crinkle paper, which kept the goodies safe during shipping. I'm not sure what I was expecting but the quality really caught me by surprise. This box was an absolute pleasure to open.
Gaaah, look how nicely the products are laid out when you open the box! I think this would make a great gift as all the hard work is already done.
1. Bambu Earth Handmade Soap in Peppermint
4.5 ounces // $8
This product smells so deliciously minty! I detected a strong peppermint scent even before taking the tape off the outer shipping box and immediately thought that something had leaked or spilled inside the box. To my relief, all the products in the box were in perfect condition. There were various scents of soap sent out and I was very happy I received peppermint.
Bambu Earth is a line of responsible soap and skincare, founded in 2009 and based in Southern California. All products are made with sustainable, ethical, and local ingredients. The soaps in particular have a note on the back that they are handmade by Amber, the company's owner.
The ingredients in the peppermint soap are organic extra virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic sustainable palm oil, unrefined shea butter (fair trade), organic cocoa butter (fair trade), pink kaolin clay, red moroccan clay, and peppermint essential oil. The soap is wrapped in paper label can be planted to grow wild flowers!
2. Soak Essentials Bath Salts in Spiced Chai
5.5 ounces // $5
Soak Essentials is a company based in Vancouver, British Columbia that offers handmade bath products. I believe the Aches & Pains version of bath salts was included in some boxes but I'm glad I received the spicy chai scent... it smells exactly like chai tea. The directions advise using 1/4 cup of bath salts so there is enough product for 3 baths. The suggested soak time is 10 to 30 minutes and this product is not recommended for pregnant women.
I had a very relaxing soak with these bath salts! The product smells amazing in the package but oddly enough the scent almost completely disappeared once I put the salts in the bath water. I measured 1/4 cup but maybe I should have used more?
3. Tisano Original Cacao Tea
4 ounces // $14.95
Tisano is a cacao, tea, and chocolate company based in California. We received a chocolate "tea" that is made with 100% Venezuelan cacao (i.e., there are no actual tea leaves in this product). Only the outer shell of the cacao bean is used but cacao shells apparently absorb many of the nutrients from the cacao bean so they contain similar health properties. I thought their story about how they came about the idea to use the outer shell of the cacao bean was really interesting.
I have brewed this tea around 4-5 times and I absolutely love it. The tea has an amazing chocolate aroma. It has a very light, yet intense chocolate flavour... it's only light in the sense that it does not have the heavier, sometimes syrupy consistency of hot cocoa. I described this tea as tasting like a watered down hot chocolate but in the best possible way. I prefer drinking this tea with a little sugar but it is definitely palatable unsweetened.
4. Evergreen Lip Balm in Mint Truffle
0.25 ounces // $4
Evergreen is a company based in Upstate, New York and currently sells a variety of beauty products and candles on Etsy. The lip balm is packaged in a cute mini drawstring bag with an evergreen tree stamped on the front.
I received the lip balm in mint truffle, which was absolutely perfect for me! I love the scent of mint chocolate and the scent of this lip balm is literally mouthwatering. It smells SO good. The texture of this lip balm is very nice. It is moisturizing and feels light on the lips. Best of all, there is no flavour that I can detect - just a delectable scent.
5. Bath & Body Works PocketBac Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel in Winter Candy Apple
26 g // $3.50
This was our bonus sample and it was also previewed on the SeasonsBox website. I am not a frequent user of hand sanitizer but if I were to purchase one, it would be from Bath & Body Works. I've tried one in the past and it smelled incredible. The Winter Candy Apple scent is really nice and I'm glad we received the PocketBac size as I can easily throw it in my purse.
6. Bath & Body Works Mini Candle in Frosted Gingerbread
29 mL // $1.50
Our second bonus sample and another mouthwatering scent! I love Bath & Body Works candles. I usually buy the 3 wick candles but maybe I'll start buying the mini ones instead. Each mini candle burns for 10 to 15 hours and the price is so reasonable. I haven't burned this candle yet but I plan to very soon... so I can trick my husband into thinking I baked cookies. :)
// Summary //
Overall, I am very happy with the inaugural SeasonsBox. The total value was $36.95 so there was not a huge return compared to the monthly subscription or one-time box price; however, you are getting a lovely curated box that is packed full of goodies and shipped to your home. After watching my review, Agnes wanted to clarify that the value of the box each month will differ. The value will never be below $35 and some months will have a higher value (e.g., $50-$75). I appreciated the clarification and found Agnes to be very forthcoming and open to suggestions.
Since I will be cancelling Glossybox after the January box, I am thinking of subscribing to SeasonsBox for a year. At $250 for the year, the price of each SeasonsBox actually works out to be a little less than Glossybox. If you are still shopping for a Christmas gift and would like something in the $35 price range (including shipping & taxes), I highly recommend this box. I believe the order cutoff date for shipping before the holidays is December 18.
FTC: This box was sent to me for review purposes and I am sharing my honest opinion. I have never accepted money in exchange for a review.

Can't select from drop down menus on any website
I am on OSX.7.5 (old machine, cannot update.) Was just upgraded to Firefox 41.0.1. I can no longer select from any drop down list on any website. Prior to the upgrade, I could always select from drop down menus or autofill. There have been no other updates to any other software prior to this problem showing up. A few examples are: - I go to a website where it is asking for Name, Address, etc. The window shows up with prior entries, but I cannot highlight and select any option. - I am entering data such as credit card info, where I am required to select entries for the card type, expiration date, etc. Again, I cannot highlight or select my entries.
In most cases, I can type the entry (the whole thing, not just the first few characters) and hit "enter," to fill in the field. However, this is both annoying and does not always work.
I have restarted in Safe mode; no change to this problem. I have tried using autofill-type AddOns; still get the same problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Melkonian educational institute
328 Bridge Plaza N Suite 1-H
Fort Lee, NJ 07024
Dear Fellow Armenians,
When at issue is the reopening of the closed Melkonian Educational Institute, the expectation is that Melkonian Alumni should be at the forefront of the effort. Alumni organizations in general operate to encourage an existing and functioning school or university.
It is about time for all those who are interested in the reopening of the MEI, to stop acting as an 'alumni organization' and join forces to become an active, forward looking, 'operating action committee' ready to take responsibility and prepare viable plans to reopen, operate, and promote, a successful, high quality, world-class, internationally recognized learning institution.
An objective of this caliber could not, and should not be realized by Melkonian Alumni alone, all experts, in fund-raising, planning, managing, operating such an institution, and promoting a successful boarding school should take-part in this Operating Committee.
The fact that the major focus of the MEI is the preservation and the promotion of Western Armenian Culture does not preclude a curriculum of multiple choices in languages and subjects of international recognition.
Similarly, the fact that a center of secondary education could provide the foundation for learned choices for youngsters to select preparatory courses based on future interests in science, arts, diplomacy, military, or spiritual/clerical careers is a necessity of the educational direction of the future generations.
Based on the above-mentioned guidelines The Melkonian Educational Institute Foundation invites you to bring your input and your suggestions to The Operating Committee for the Reopening of the Melkonian Educational Institute, so that we may present the best course of action to achieve the aforementioned objectives.
On behalf of the MEI Operating Committee,
Board Members
Hovhannes Kendirian
Garo Emirzian
Kevork Kalayjian
Krikor Gederian

Feeling space
d (design) .sul (south)
d.sul is an architectural practice based in madeira island.
Our work ranges from large to small projects we focus mostly on domestic architecture and interior design. We are interested in dealing with heritage, working with local material, essentially feeling space. we seek every solution in each new approach.
d.sul is a practice that combines architecture with construction, meaning design build.
Design–build is a project delivery system used in the construction industry. it is a method to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity known as the design–builder or design–build contractor.
Design–build relies on a single point of responsibility contract and is used to minimize risks for the project owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project. design–build with its single point responsibility carries the clearest contractual remedies for the clients because the db contractor will be responsible for all of the work on the project, regardless of the nature of the fault.
The traditional approach for construction projects consists of the appointment of a designer on one side, and the appointment of a contractor on the other side. The design–build procurement route changes the traditional sequence of work. It answers the client's wishes for a single point of responsibility in an attempt to reduce risks and overall costs. it is now commonly used in many countries and forms of contracts are widely available.

No matter where you are in the world having access to your favourite sport is a necessity. With the explosion of the internet over the last ten years we ever more demand access to live games both on our computers and also mobile devices like phones and tablets. So if you're an NBA, NFL or MLB fan and pay for one of their online live streaming packages one of the most annoying things about them is blackouts.
You may be surprised to be reading about this on a ".co.uk" website by a British writer but for years as a child growing up my father made a conscious effort to record the Super Bowl each year and so my passion for American sport began which continued with weekly battles between myself and my dad on the various John Madden Football games (ahuuu ahahhh!). You may find it even stranger that with the international "NFL Game Pass" we even suffer the dreaded blackouts over here in the UK which also extends to Canada and the Republic of Ireland.
So it started me thinking and I spoke with a few of my US based friends who confirmed that over the range of sports from the NBA to NFL and MLB all in some way are subject to blackouts for teams that are in your local market. The concept for this is rather strange not only because most of you are paying up to and over $100 per season for the privilege of watching live games, but you're not even able to watch your local team for this princely sum.
Blackouts can cover a wide range of teams, for example the whole of Iowa covers 6 MLB teams including the Cubs, Brewers, Royals, Cardinals, White Sox & Twins. Regardless of where you're located either in the US or one of the many other countries such as Canada, Mexico, Antigua, American Samoa, Bermuda, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands or the Bahamas you will mostly likely fall into a blackout area for your favourite team. This lead me to wonder if there was a blackout workaround.
After some trial and testing with my US based friends I discovered that one way to get around blackouts for each league is to get yourself a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN is a cheap paid for service that allows you to connect to another location thus masking your real location. For those of you who have just clicked, what this allows you to do is appear as if you're in another state which circumvents the blackout requirement for your local area. The process is really easy, once you have signed up to a service, they provide simple software that then allows you to connect to an out of state (or even out of country) server which then shows as your visible location to either the NBA League Pass site, MLB.tv or NFL DirecTV applications. Hey Presto! No more blackouts!
So you'll be wondering what VPN provider to sign up to? Through our testing we found on a monthly basis that IPVanish would be the best choice coming in at $6-$10 per month for your first month due to the speeds achieved over their network, meaning you lose no quality. If you're after committing to a full year then PrivateInternetAccess offer a decent package at US$39.95 per year. A final consideration to support a great US based company would be LiquidVPN who offers an equally attractively priced service.
Once you've downloaded their software just connect to one of their US servers and head over to your game page. It is that simple.
There are plenty of other good VPN providers so if you want to shop around then check out our VPN Comparison Table to compare over 20 providers and what they offer.
Now get on and enjoy your live game!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar weakened against the yen on Monday ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, and a Bank of Japan meeting on Friday.
The dollar had gained against major currencies in recent weeks as better-than-expected economic data revived expectations that the Fed would raise interest rates again this year.
Japanese and European central banks, by contrast, are seen as adopting more stimulative policies to stave off deflation and generate growth.
The Bank of Japan may, however, underwhelm investors this week as it faces dwindling options to reboot the country's economy, analysts said.
"The risk is that the market's disappointed in one fashion or another with the BOJ," said Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman in New York. "Expectations are strong enough that if they don't do anything, the yen's going to strengthen."
The greenback weakened 0.24 percent to 105.81 yen JPY= on Monday. The yen briefly erased gains after Nikkei reported that Japan would double net fiscal spending to 6 trillion yen.
Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Saturday he would ease policy further, if necessary, to achieve its 2 percent inflation goal.
Kuroda also shrugged off speculation that the BoJ would directly underwrite government debt, which is prohibited by law.
The Fed is seen as unlikely to raise interest rates on Wednesday, though investors will be looking for any signs that the U.S. central bank might be more likely to hike rates in coming months.
Improving economic data has increased expectations that the Fed will raise rates in December, after traders had entirely priced out the possibility of a rate hike this year.
Fed fund futures on Monday indicate traders see a 56 percent chance of a rate hike in December, up from 48 percent on Friday.
Any indication that the Fed may hike sooner than that could rattle investors.
"I would not expect them to close the door on a September rate hike because it's data dependant and the data's been stronger than expected," Chandler said. "That could inject extra volatility in the markets."
European bank stress tests on Friday also will be a focus, with investors concerned about potential capital shortfalls at Italian and Portuguese banks.
Italian lender Monte dei Paschi di Siena (BMPS.MI) dropped 8.3 percent on Monday on concerns over an expected rights issue ahead of the test results.

Lyle Owerko Brings the Fascinating Cultural Heritage of Falconry to Joseph Gross Gallery
Racing on horseback through the ranges of Mongolia's rugged Altai Mountains, one of the most desolate and harsh terrains on Earth, the Kazakh people still practice the ancient tradition of falconry. Flying through the air at impressive speeds to fetch their prey, golden eagles are their most reliable hunting aide. Lyle Owerko exhibition exploring this rich historical tradition and a transformational power of culture rebelling against external influences will be presented at Joseph Gross Gallery. As the world is changing and evolving fast, these nomads are trying to preserve this 4000 years long tradition of training and hunting with eagles, and doing it with great dedication and passion. The exhibition Eagle Hunters is the artist's first solo show at Joseph Gross Gallery.
An Ancient Tradition
The series Eagle Hunters is the result of the artist's two-year trip through Northern Mongolia. Only a handful of Kyrgyz and Kazakhs are still practicing hunting with eagles, but these remaining few are passionately preserving it from dying out. Exploring this rich cultural heritage, Owerko's work provides an insight into the life of these ancient and remote communities. Proudly grasping this unique aspect of their heritage, these nomads not only rely on the world's most dangerous birds of prey, but they forge an intimate relationship with them essentially making them members of their family. Depicting singular, surreal beauty against a raw and mystical Mongolian landscape, these images present a powerful testimony of this beautiful custom.
The Photography of Lyle Owerko
Lyle Owerko is a renowned New York City-based photographer and filmmaker. His projects have taken him all around the globe, from Africa and Tokyo, to Mongolia and Central America. He is widely recognized for his editorial photograph Second Plane capturing the second plane crashing into the World Trade Center during the September 11 attack . The photo appeared on the cover of Time magazine and was ranked as one of the 40 most important magazine covers of the last 40 years. His work has been featured in numerous magazines and he was named Hasselblad Master in 2010 for his fine art photojournalism. His work is a part of the permanent archive of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. and the V&A in London.
Lyle Owerko Exhibition at Joseph Gross Gallery
Joseph Gross Gallery is dedicated to pioneering genres and mediums, always presenting cutting edge artists and exhibitions that challenge convention and bring new exciting ideas. The exhibition Eagle Hunters will reflect the evolution of Owerko's practice documenting insular cultures, and it will be on show from April 7th till April 30th, 2016. This exhibition will also present a selection from Owerko's Boombox project, exploring the influential role of the boombox in the hip-hop and punk movements in the 1970s and 1980s.
Editors' Tip: Eagle Dreams: Searching for Legends in Wild Mongolia by Stephen Bodio
When Mongolia was under the Soviet rule, it was inaccessible to Western travelers. After 1990, Stephen J. Bodio began planning his trip. Always fascinated with nature, Bodio was inspired by a photo in National Geographic depicting a Kazakh nomad dressed in a long coat and wearing a fur hat, holding an eagle on his fist. As soon as Mongolia became dependant in 1990, he decided to take a trip to Mongolia and fulfill his dream. In Eagle Dreams, take a journey with Bodio through Mongolia, where he has spent months with nomads and their birds. Visiting a birth place of falconry and observing the traditions that have survived intact through the ages, he gets to know the people, landscapes and animals of Mongolia.

This is a good get for a second rate program like IU.
This will FINALLY put the death knell to all those "OSU in waiting" stories out of Ohio. I have no doubt he coveted that job, but I was of the opinion that if IU is interested, you can't wait on whatever might be going on with Matta, because IU is an elite job.
I wonder even how much it will change the dynamic, because like Crean, Miller tended to recruit a fair amount of East Coast guys. Will Miller orient toward more of an Indiana-centric recruiting approach? Will be interesting to watch.

A cinemagraph is a still image with motion in it. The motion can be subtle or the main focal point of the cinemagraph. Creating one is, thanks to modern technology, not to hard to do.
There's several ways to achieve this effect by using websites as www.plotagraph.com or by the use of several apps available on iOS and Android. Some are free and some you need to pay for.
For this contest a free version is OK, if there's a watermark from the app or website: this allowed in your entry.
You'll need to upload a .gif file so keep in mind to save your file as a gif file or convert it to a gif file. And keep your file size around 800 x 800 pixels.
Below you find some examples of cinemagraphs, to give you an idea.

Microfilm & Microfiche Services in VA, MD & DC
What is Microfilm Scanning?
Microfilm scanning, also called microphotography, is the reduction of images to such a small size that they cannot be read without optical assistance. This amazing photographic compression often results in 99% space saving. The microfilm scanning service is one of the most extensively used and common practices in modern reprographic science.
The remarkable increase in microfilm scanning activities is due to the recognition that a large portion of books, periodicals, and newspapers are deteriorating because of the poor quality of paper and print. The use of microfilm scanning for almost 70 years has provided an excellent reproduction method for recording photographic images of printed materials.
To learn more about microfilm, contact Imagex online or give us a call at 703-883-2500.
Advantages of Microfilm Rolls
Microfilm can bring various advantages, such as the document being reduced to one-thirtieth of its area. It can also save floor space by reducing the number of documents being used. It can also allow the security and safety of documents to a certain extent. The microfilm records are a bit more durable than documents but do have a timestamp that can be affected by environmental factors.
Advantages of Microfiche Sheets
There are many advantages to Microfiche, such as the fact that a storage cabinet can hold thousands of Microfiche cards, containing thousands of pages in material. There are also special machines, such as the STViewScan III, that allow you to read them and even alter the content for clearer visuals. Some storage methods used in the past that were based on technology that no longer in common use, which can make accessing the data difficult.
ST ViewScan 4
The Leading Microfilm Scanner
The ViewScan 4 takes the greatest features from earlier award-winning models and is combined with modern software and usability to deliver an all-new user experience. It's equipped with a range of cameras including a native 18-megapixel image sensor camera. In addition, each scanner comes with a three-year factory warranty.
The ViewScan 4 also comes with an optional PC. Securely connected to the base of the scanner, the PC comes with the ST PerfectView software installed. Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the PC and you are ready to scan! The mouse can be an optional item as the ST PerfectView is designed with touch screen capabilities.
The ViewScan 4 includes a powerful new tool—the ST PerfectView. With this, you can quickly read headlines without waiting for the image to refresh and become clear, crop articles, and scan an entire page. Each scan is then saved in a variety of different formats, stored, and can be revisited at any time.

Rio '88 is the home video release from Tina's legendary concert at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on January 16, 1988 as part of her 1987 / '88 Break Every Rule Tour. With this concert in front of over 180,000 people, Tina broke an attendance record that landed her in the Guinness Book of World Records with the largest paying audience for a single artist. Unfortunately, some songs from the original setlist are missing in this release. The tracks Show Some Respect and It's Only Love have been broadcasted in a tv special in South America and the video footage of the encore song Nutbush City Limits was used for the music video of the first German single from the album Live In Europe. The video was re-issued in 2007 on a 3 DVD Box Set.
Director: Roberto Talmo
Design: Stylorouge
Photographer: JAT (front) / Dave Hogan (back)
Release: 1988 / 2001 (dvd) / 2007 (re-issue)
Label: eagle / Polygram
Format: VHS / CD-Video / CD-I / DVD
Time: 75 Min.
… during the "Break Every Rule Tour," Tina performed in South America for the first time. It was in January of '88, and Tina made history (and the Guinness Book of World Records) when she performed to a crowd of 180,000 people at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. It was the biggest paying audience for a single artist ever; it surpassed Frank Sinatra's record set eight years before at the same soccer stadium.

Where Did It All begin?
Auguste Comte
The French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798–1857)
- First used the term "sociology" in 1838 to refer to the scientific study of society.
- He believed that all societies develop and progress through the following stages: religious, metaphysical, and scientific.
Comte viewed the science of sociology as consisting of two branches:
- Dynamics, or the study of the processes by which societies change
- Statics, or the study of the processes by which societies endure.
He also envisioned sociologists as eventually developing a base of scientific social knowledge that would guide society into positive directions.
Herbert Spencer
The 19th‐century Englishman Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
- Compared society to a living organism with interdependent parts.
- Change in one part of society causes change in the other parts, so that every part contributes to the stability and survival of society as a whole.
In other words, he believes that if one part of society malfunctions, the other parts must adjust to the crisis and contribute even more to preserve society. Spencer suggested that society will correct its own defects through the natural process of "survival of the fittest."
He talks about :
- The "fittest"—the rich, powerful, and successful—enjoy their status because nature has "selected" them to do so.
- Nature has doomed the "unfit"—the poor, weak, and unsuccessful—to failure. They must fend for themselves without social assistance if society is to remain healthy and even progress to higher levels. Governmental interference in the "natural" order of society weakens society by wasting the efforts of its leadership in trying to defy the laws of nature.
Karl Marx
Not everyone has shared Spencer's vision of societal harmony and stability. Chief among those who disagreed was the German political philosopher and economist Karl Marx (1818–1883)
- Observed society's exploitation of the poor by the rich and powerful.
Emile Durkheim
A French philosopher and sociologist
- Stressed the importance of studying social facts, or patterns of behavior characteristic of a particular group.
- The phenomenon of suicide especially interested Durkheim. But he did not limit his ideas on the topic to mere speculation.
- Formulated his conclusions about the causes of suicide based on the analysis of large amounts of statistical data collected from various European countries.
Max Weber
The German sociologist Max Weber (1864–1920)
- Believed that individuals' behaviors cannot exist apart from their interpretations of the meaning of their own behaviors, and that people tend to act according to these interpretations.
- Because of the ties between objective behavior and subjective interpretation, Weber believed that sociologists must inquire into people's thoughts, feelings, and perceptions regarding their own behaviors.
Weber recommended that sociologists adopt his method of Verstehen (vûrst e hen), or empathetic understanding. Verstehen allows sociologists to mentally put themselves into "the other person's shoes" and thus obtain an "interpretive understanding" of the meanings of individuals' behaviors.

Patience quotes
And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace. Michelle Obama
(also aboutWisdom, Grace, Courage, Perseverance)
Patience quotes by Alan Milne
Also aboutPerseverance, Relationships, Understanding, Listening
Patience quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Also aboutTime, Waiting, Moderation, Accomplishment, Goal
I was already beginning to realize that the only way to conduct oneself in a situation where bombs rained down and bullets whizzed past, was to accept the dangers and all the consequences as calmly as possible. Fretting and sweating about it all was not going to help. Roald Dahl

Online Learning Platforms: Advantages and Criticisms Posted in: Education
We currently face some new issues and questions regarding the validity of online education lately and this article shall discuss them in reference to solutions provided by various online platforms. The online education system has broadened the horizons of reach and availability to thus far un-reached groups of learners. However, it has its own challenges and issues to be observed and resolved. The primary concern is measuring student engagement during online learning sessions and measures to ensure academic honesty during assessments.
The teachers' ability to monitor student involvement in a physical classroom is missing in the online platforms. With the privacy-intensive issues involved in conducting live cam-to-cam sessions and the distraction factor involved in watching each individual student on smaller windows on your screen. Handing this responsibility while concentrating on the subject matter, is a common complaint from online instructors using these platforms. The solution can be partially achieved using stats and analytics provided by the same platforms such as blackboard or course smart.
The stats and analytics concentrate on navigation patterns, screen time, cursor movement, rate of response to pop-quizzes and participation in boards and forums to consolidate the overall involvement and engagement of students. While this is not an error proof method, we can confidently state that we are gearing towards monitor the involvement levels on an individual course-by-course basis and gauge the effectiveness of the course content. Similar to any online measuring tool, the analytics algorithms have come under fire from educational experts stating, "The algorithm can be fooled by students and takes a huge amount of effort from the instructor to be implemented". There are two parts to this criticism.
The first part is that students can effectively fake involvement by moving the mouse occasionally or having a small navigation ratio, while differentiating this from a student who is actually listening to the session is difficult. The second part of the criticism is the amount of effort that the instructor needs to provide like recording the analytics, using the auto LMS forms after the session and in some cases constantly ask student feedback for rating the course and the instructors. Many vendors providing such platforms are working towards bringing AI based analytics tools to remove errors and increase the accuracy of student engagement mapping.
Will the criticisms outweigh the usability of the online classrooms?
What is the student response to criticisms and the user friendliness of these platforms?

"Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!" The opening lines of Robert Burns' 'Address to a Haggis' will be repeated across Scotland on 25 January to mark Burns Night (or Burns Nicht in traditional Scots). Burns Night is the celebration of Scottish poet Robert Burns, one of Scotland's most revered cultural figures. The first Burns Night was held by friends of Burns in 1801, five years after the poet's death, and has become a staple event of the Scottish calendar. The poem is recited as the haggis is cut into, with steam rising from its insides like a steam train. It's the hallmark sight of the traditional celebration.
Edinburgh, however, is offering lots of alternatives for those who want to use this day to explore some of the rich heritage that the Scottish capital can offer. Here is just a taste of what's happening around Edinburgh on 25 January.
Burns Night @ Teviot Row House
Teviot will host its annual Burns Night celebration consisting of a haggis, neeps and tatties meal and ceilidh. There is also an optional whiskey tasting experience and the option of vegetarian haggis with your meal (which is just as tasty as the meat-based stuff). A lot of tartan and a traditional get-up are encouraged but not essential.
Tickets: £10 – £15. Buy tickets here.
Musica Nordica presents Burns Bellmans Night
The creative social enterprise Musica Nordica is hosting a Burns Night concert in the Wee Red Bar that promises to be a rampant and joy-filled evening out. The theme of the night is similarity and difference, exploring some of the past's more confusing elements and without doubt some contemporary relevance as well. Expect great music and poetry in this welcome break from the difficulties of modern life.
Tickets: £6.50 (for students). Buy tickets here.
ABBA Meets Burns
The traditional Burns Supper will be getting an ABBA-fuelled Swedish takeover at Akva on Fountainbridge. You will get your haggis along with some Swedish meatballs and a host of other cross-cultural foodie creations. There is a Swedish raffle and a glitter bar to add a bit of glamour to your Burns Night. The event is being run in support of Whizz-Kidz, a charity that supports disabled children across the UK to live as independent lives as possible. And did we mention ABBA?
Tickets: £20. Buy tickets here.
The Burns Night Comedy Show
Edinburgh Fringe behemoths Gilded Balloon run their basement comedy club every weekend and for the 25th and 26th January, it is all Burns themed. They have a mixture of their favourite performers plucked straight from the Fringe Festival to up and coming talents who will be comedy names to watch in years ahead. Glasgow comedian Billy Kirkwood will be hosting the show, which will feature sets from the likes of Susan Riddell, Grant Busé and the Kagools. A great way to end Burns Night with a smile on your face.
Tickets: £12. Buy tickets here.

If you're quick you can get your hands on the cheapest Moog ever. All you need to do is build it and you're ready to go!
Build it Yourself
"But i'm not an engineer" I hear you cry, "I can't possibly do justice to the quality and craftsmanship of a real Moog". Well, with the Werkstatt 01, you dont need to have a physics degree or mad soldering skills. The kit comes with a printed circuit board containing perfect connections to all your components. All you need is a no.1 Phillips head screwdriver and a pair of wire cutters to assemble the kit using the simple instructions and then you can start messing with the wide range of parameters on board.
Get Stuck In
Although the Werkstatt-01 has only one oscillator, there's plenty to explore in this versatile little box. The great thing is that because you built the synth, you can get stuck in with a greater understanding of how it works.
Your basic oscillator tones come in the form of either a saw or pulse waves with a 9 octave frequency range. To hear the Werkstatt, set this onto a continuous drone with the Voltage Controlled Amplifier(VCA) or switch to using the Envelope generator and play the one octave keyboard with glide control. You can create classic Moog tones and much more using the iconic 4-pole moog lader filter with 20Hz-20KHz frequency response, and a variable resonance control that can push the filter into self oscillation.
You also get a fairly comprehensive modulation array to mould your sound to exactly how you want it. This includes a variable attack/delay envelope section and a dual waveshape LFO that's easily assignable to different parameters. As a result, this is a great piece for trying things out and seing what happens. The Werkstatt goes even further with this, adding an easily understandable and accessible patch bay on the front to really mess things up with your synth tone. You will soon be thinking "hmm now if i put this with that......" and getting exciting results.
Who is the Werkstatt For?
For Starters the Werkstatt 01 is the cheapest and most compact Moog synth currently on the market. So anyone looking for a proper moog tone and doesn't mind providing a bit of elbow grease will get the full moog experience for a steal.
However the Werkstatt is much more than that. If you're looking for a hands on and engaging way of learning how Analog synthesis works, then the Werkstatt is perfect. It's simple enough that you don't get overwhelmed by too many parameters, but has enough features for you to get a good grip of how everything works and use your ears to hear how a sound changes. You can work systematically or just go crazy and have fun creating weird and wonderful sounds. The Werkstatt offers a pure synthesis playground that you don't want to miss.

Two wheeled things
Mmm Stokage. Got my panniers finally for the GS. I ordered those things probably 4 months ago. Maybe more. Anyway, they finally came. Got them on. Just in time for 10 days of rain. Oh well, I got to ride to Palo Alto with them just to try them out. Surprisingly they seem to stabilize the bike a little more. At highway speeds the bike doesn't feel so twitchy anymore. One negative though is my mileage per gallon meter went down about 5-10 mpg! Yikes, that's almost a 20% hit. Well I guess I am still getting over 40 mpg. Not bad I guess.
On other two wheel stokage, check this out. Gary Fisher sold his brand to Trek. That's not the news. They produced a bike that pays homage to the days of the klunker. The birth of the mountain bike in Marin. Trek is selling this geared 29er called the Sawyer.
I love the swoopy tubes. Such a cruiser look. Steel too. Might have to sell the 650B beasley SS to fund this one.
Here is a production pic. I think this would be a cool retro bike packing bike. Although that is what my moots is for… Maybe I need to pull an overtime shift.

This is a common source of confusion. The ".1" in "24.5.1" has nothing to do with the Cygwin release number "-2". (It's actually a build counter and should just be ignored.)

Uldir, Halls of Control Raid Services
Marvelous and difficult Uldir raid is the first Battle for Azeroth raid. It's a completely unique and innovative adventure that will be super difficult for new players to participate in. If you don't have some decent boosted armor, this adventure is not for you either. Uldir raid needs some serious preparations, and the best you can do is just buy Uldir raid carry and you'll get some legendary strong gear, excellent bonuses, rewards and many new achievements. Our professional players will make the boosting process completely safe and effective.
Uldir raid boost options:
Out site provides many options for new players as well as advanced ones. If you're still new to the whole WoW world, but still would like to participate in super difficult raids, we advice you to order Uldir Full Gear service. It will help you prepare your character for difficult boss battles and boost your level and gear considerably.
To order this kind of service you need a 120+ level character, fresh raid cooldown and any gear available. If your character hasn't reached 120 level yet, you can still purchase a level boost on our site. The boost itself will take from just 1 night up to 14 days depending on the option you choose. The Full Gear service takes 2-6 weeks to complete, so be patient and watch our top players boosting your character to the brand new level via stream. Yes, we do provide personal streams to ensure your account's safety and make the whole proves for you even more enjoyable.
You can order a selfplay or piloted mode. Selfplay means you can play the character by yourself and with the help of our professionals. Of course, this service will cost more than piloted version, where you have to temporarily hand over your account to our top players who will be working to earn the best Uldir gear. We guarantee your account's complete safety as we do not use cheats and provide VPN for every account we work with. Plus, we do not ask for your secret question to ensure 100% safety of our service.
How to pass the Halls of Control
Participation in Uldir raid requires a character of 120+ level, which is very difficult to achieve. If you have already reached such a high level, you must have earned different advanced gear that will help you to fight with strong bosses in this adventurous location. To pass The Halls of Control you need to defeat 8 bosses:
- Taloc
- the MOTHER
- Fetid Devourer,
- Zek'voz
- Vectis
- Zul, Reborn
- Mythrax the Unraveler
- G'huun
Every other boss is more difficult to defeat than the previous one, but the loot is incredible and prepares you to fight the next boss successfully. The most powerful and hard to defeat if G'huun boss. You need all the gear possible and impossible to put a decent fight against such an enemy. Fortunately, our site provides an offer of killing this boss and earning some incredible Normal, Heroic and Mythic 355+level items. All you need to do is boost up your character to 120 level and get a fresh raid cooldown.
We provide a G'huun kill for both Normal and Heroic mode, the price varies accordingly. You can order a selfplay if you want to play your character for yourself or piloted mode, in this case our professional players will take care of the boss for you. You need to provide access to your account without revealing your secret question, so it's totally safe. The service takes 1 up to 24 hours to complete.
Halls of Control Raid Boost
Since we all have real life, families, jobs and children, sometimes it's simply impossible to spend as much time in WoW as we would like to. To participate in this particular event you have to gear up your character, level up considerably and prepare yourself for splendid boss fights! Can you afford spending hours boosting your character when you're already short on time? Probably not, which is very disappointing… But we still have a solution! We provide Halls of Control raid Boost for both Normal and Heroic mode for those gamers who aren't able to play non-stop.
You also get Personal loot mode, which allows you to get more unique items. Personal loot always drops you more treasures, plus you'll be able to trade items you get if you already have the same one in your inventory or a higher rank piece in the same slot. Note, that for every extra player above 10 participating in the raid gets you 20% chance of additional unique gear drop.
Uldir Halls of Control boost takes 2 up to 48 hours to complete. You still need a character 120+ level and a fresh raid cooldown. You can order a piloted or selfplayed mode, which will result in extra price to be paid. We also offer option for trading loot, you may choose 3 or 5 extra boosters. To ensure your account's safety we provide a personal stream for the piloted mode, and we do not need your secret question so you don't have to worry about theft. Order an Uldir Raid boost and enjoy the WoW game to the fullest!

Some traditions are here to stay. Hopefully. In light of Earth Day, Booking.com released its annual sustainable travel report. Similar to last year, 72% of travelers indicated that they take sustainability into consideration when deciding on a travel method or destination.
Travelers expect their travel agents to take responsibility too. According to Booking's report on sustainable travel, 71% of travelers think that travel companies should offer consumers more sustainable travel options.
But how can you introduce sustainability into your travel agency? We present 2 sustainable travel trends you can easily implement to have a considerable impact on our planet.
Hop on public transport
In earlier articles on Destination X, we boasted about the necessity of ancillary services. Why can't you, as a travel agent, offer an insight into public transportation?
For starters; it's an easy way to reduce your travelers' carbon emission drastically. Public transportation pollutes less than a taxi or a rental car.
That's not all. There are additional benefits of using public transportation while on a holiday.
- There's no need to worry about driving in a foreign country ;
- Travelers can use their time more productively.
But how can you nudge travelers to use public transport? In a whitepaper on sustainable travel, The City of London demonstrates that travelers need straightforward and accessible information on public transport, often in the form of mobile applications (such as route planners or tickets).
Support environmental-friendly accommodations
In Booking's report, 37% of travelers indicated that they don't know how to make their stay abroad more sustainable.
And honestly; we don't blame them. More often than not, sustainable accommodations are simply not recognized by travelers. Would you notice if your meal was prepared with local or home-grown products? Or the fact that your energy was produced by solar panels?
In order to better inform travelers, some hotel chains are recognized by the Green Globe-seal.
As a travel agent, you can also recognize green hotels by the internationally recognized ISO 14001 guidelines – a roadmap for sustainable economics.
By supporting these ISO 14001-labeled hotels, you're encouraging:
- Local initiatives: staff is hired locally, products are from domestic markets
- Less waste: an efficient process with less food waste and better recycling processes
Sustainability: a fixed feature in Amadeus' DNA
Sustainability is not simply a hip term at Amadeus. For the 7th year in a row, we have been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI). We also ranked 16th in the 2018 Corporate Knights' Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World.
For a transparent view of our sustainable goals, aims and achievements, discover the sustainable chapter in our recently published Global Report.
Thanks to our new partnership with Booking.com, we boosted the accommodation content on the Amadeus Travel Platform by over 30%. Convenient!

Sponaugle Wellness Institute Treats Yolanda Hadid For Lyme
Yolanda Foster Lyme Disease
Yolanda Hadid's New Book: Believe Me
Lyme Disease Can Affect Anyone
Lyme Disease infects more than 300,000 people per year and fewer than 50% of them recall ever having a tick bite. Lyme Disease does not care who you are or what you do, and if left untreated it can ruin your life.
Sponaugle Wellness Institute has recently been in the news for the treatment of high profile clients and celebrities like Real Housewives Star, Yolanda Hadid. In chapter four, she candidly opens up about her time at Sponaugle Wellness.
Although Yolanda explains she doesn't yet have a "clean bill of health" her six weeks spent at Sponaugle Wellness have given her the ability to get "out of bed and well enough to (work)." She states in Believe Me, "Dr. Sponaugle points out that I have high levels of mold in my body… This is a big problem for people with Lyme because it weakens the immune system."
"I'm brought in to see Dr. Sponaugle. He appears to be a genius whose treatments and ideas are outside the box. During my appointment, I can sense not only his excitement about healing but also his underlying frustration with the world of traditional medicine."
Read Yolanda Foster's testimonial about her experience at Sponaugle Wellness
My girlfriend Suzanne Somers told me about The Spounagle Wellness Institute because the Doctor had cured her grand daughter Violet from Lyme disease.
The truth is, no matter how sick you are, nobody is ready to pack up and leave their family behind to go to Clearwater, Florida. The same happened to me until my son Anwar reminded me that even though I had been home in bed for the past 6 months, I wasn't really participating in life. I had become the shell of the woman I use to be and spent my days starring at the ceiling.
I went from a hard working, multi-tasking social butterfly to living in a mentally paralyzed cocoon. I was not able to read, process information, write or do something as simple as watch t.v.
90 days of multiple Intravenous antibiotics did me more harm then good, my body was a toxic waste dump and I had yeast coming out of every part of my body.
Originally I committed to spending 3 weeks at The Institute in Florida until I realized what an incredible progress I was making and finally gladly stayed for 6.
Obviously it would not be fair to expect to be cured from Chronic Lyme disease in 6 weeks after years of suffering but I am definitely feeling 80% better and am looking forward to continuing my health journey at home while hopefully participating in the normal things in life.
In my eyes Dr. Spounagle is a forward thinker in medicine that is willing to think outside the box. He does not take NO for an answer and will lay out the puzzle until all the pieces fit.
He is an MD that uses integrative medicine and Hi-tech testing to diagnose and show progress in your recovery while working towards the cure for Lyme disease.
Thank you to the team effort at the Spounagle Wellness Institute for making me believe in miracles as I continue this health journey.
I am committed to raising awareness to this silent killer called Chronic neurological Lyme disease and wont stop until proper diagnostic testing and a cure is found!!
Much Love,
Yolanda Foster
