Oakland County drivers fed up with conditions of dirt roads
Weather makes roads rough
OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. – Dirt roads are suffering from Michigan's changing weather this winter.
Residents in Oakland County are fed up with the conditions of roads where they live, especially Hillsboro Road in Davisburg.
David Moroz said the freeze-thaw effect and rain always makes for a rough ride, but this year seems worse than usual.
"We try not to invite too many people this time of year because it is so rough, especially if they don't have the vehicle that can handle the ruts and so forth," he said. "It seems particularly bad right now."
While the roads can be bad, Moroz says he will deal with it because he enjoys where he lives.
Road commission advises drivers to use caution
The Road Commission for Oakland County has urged drivers to use caution when traveling on dirt roads. The commission said the county's nearly 760 miles of dirt roads are rough due to snow, rain, frigid temperatures and a warmup.
According to the commission, the ground is frozen below the road surface in many areas. This means that there is nowhere for rain and melting snow to go and it is causing muddy, wet roads.
Crews can only add material to help the road conditions in certain areas because heavy equipment sitting on the roads can make it worse.
"We are doing everything we can to maintain the gravel roads," said Dennis Kolar, RCOC Managing Director. "However, despite our best efforts, recent freezing conditions combined with snow, rain and warmer weather have made most of the gravel roads a maintenance challenge."
To report issues with dirt roads, contact the road commission at 877-858-4804 or online.

What Is Pan Card ?
Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a code that acts as an identification for individuals, families and corporates (Indian or Foreign), especially those who pay Income Tax. It is a unique, 10-character alpha-numeric identifier, issued to all judicial entities identifiable under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. An example number would be in the form of A008113003. It is issued by the Indian Income Tax Department under the supervision of the Central Board for Direct Taxes (CBDT) and it also serves as an important proof of identification.
It is also issued to foreign nationals (such as investors) subject to a valid visa and hence, it is not acceptable as a proof of Indian citizenship.
The PAN is mandatory for a majority of financial transactions such as opening a bank account, receiving taxable salary or professional fees, sale or purchase of assets above specified limits etc. Especially high-value transactions.
The primary purpose of the PAN is to bring a universal identification to all financial transactions and to prevent tax evasion by keeping track of monetary transactions, especially those of high-net-worth individuals who can impact the economy. The PAN is unique to each individual and is valid for the lifetime of the holder, throughout India. An important point to note would be that once issued, the PAN is not affected by a change of address.
- Income Tax PAN card is issued under Section 139A of the Income Tax Act.
- The PAN structure is as follows: AAAPL1234C: First five characters are letters, next four numerals, last character letter.
- The first three letters are sequence of alphabets from AAA to ZZZ
- The fourth character informs about the type of holder of the card. Each holder is uniquely defined as below:
- A — Association of Persons (AOP)
- B — Body of Individuals (BOI)
- C — Company
- F — Firm
- G — Government
- H — HUF (Hindu Undivided Family)
- L — Local Authority
- J — Artificial Juridical Person
- P — Individual
- T — Trust (AOP)
- K — Krish (Trust Krish)

On Saturday, my RWA chapter hosted the super duper Damon Suede.
He broke my brain. In a good way.
The first 1/3 of the day was focused on creating characters. Using verbs. VERBS. I've been struggling the past couple of months (hence my lack of activity EVERYWHERE) with building my paranormal world (which finally came together a couple of weeks ago – Thank. Gawd) and because of that my writing has been on the back burner. Considering what I want to do in this series, his character talk was perfect timing. Note to self: read his Verbalize book.
I craft my characters differently with each book. His methods streamlined all my spastic creations in such a way I'm surprised my table partner didn't hear my brain binging constant.
Then he tackled dialogue. I'm not saying I have the best dialogue but again – he was all about teaching me how to streamline and the purpose of dialogue. What I walked away with is that dialogue is about creating an emotional response in my readers. It's not about "hey how are ya?" Did I know this before? Yes. Did I know dialogue was intentional with the characters and for the story? Yes. Did I need to hear it again to eliminate talking heads? Yes.
Finally, when my brain was exhausted and my allergies began to kick in, he hit us with writing blurbs, taglines and pitches. Let's just say I didn't do so well in the exercise portions of this talk because I was all "uhm…uh…hm…" Do I know my story? Somewhat. A lot of it is new so I'm still working my way. It's awfully hard to write a blurb when you don't know the innards of a story you just figured out.
Dinner definitely required booze.
I could spend a lot of time here summing up his talks, but all that knowledge is still brewing in my head. Needless to say – for any authors out there, no matter what genre you write, if you get a chance to see Damon Suede talk, do it. You'll walk away with a broken brain but you'll be smarter for it.

All about the theatre
For the first time the genre of the 'tourist guide' has been applied to theatre.
The result is a journey through the modern temples of the actual, material culture, where the community is truly alive.
At the same time theatres are architectural structures that are able to disclose traces of old civilizations, wonderful locations to spend an evening and let ourselves be shown the very essence of life in the city, thanks to their history and their shows.
But the show ends, life goes on… and we will be ready to recommend you clubs and excellent restaurants.
Once again, the theatre and the city: a dynamic continuum strongly connected with the era and with the urban pattern where it is located.
This is what one can feel in theatres worldwide.
How many times visiting a European capital have you wondered: «Where are the theatres?», «Which shows would I like best?», «Which actors?».
At this point stay in your hotel or read our tourist guide.
This collection has been designed and realized together with Andrea Porcheddu and will show us around all over the world: New York, Berlin, London, Tunis, Hong Kong, Buenos Aires, Prague…
Welcome to Milan!
Milan is the location of the Universal Exposition 2015; the capital of fashion; the city of Strehler, Testori, Ronconi and Fo; the headquarters of the 'marionette army', created by the Colla family two hundred years ago.
In the parterres and on the stages of Milan it is possible to meet the theatre of the past and the theatre of the present.
All about the theater in Milan.
A whole city waiting to be discovered, an «orange» waiting to be peeled.

I recently had my HFC FTTN connection activated yesterday around 1:30pm, the NBN technican installed the arris modem and connected the Telstra supplied Frontier router to it.
After an hour or so I was able to establish a connection of around 20Mbps down and around 5Mbps up which was much slower than the 100/40 with the fastest speed boost, however the connection kept dropping in and out.
I called Telstra around 3:15pm and they said there was some type of issue with the connection which was apparently resolved as this stopped the drop outs but the speed remained the same (20Mbps).
I made a 2nd call to Telstra at 6:15pm and I asked them why the order was still not completed on the order tracker and they said it was still in 'provisioning' and that it may take 24-48 hours to complete. I was never advised of this when I placed the order, and the Telstra rep tried to tell me this was normal and that once it finishes provisioning my speed should increase.
Is this normal for new connections? Can anyone shed some light onto exactly what may be happening, and how long its going to take to be resolved?
Was this helpful?
Thank you for your feedback
We can help right now
Update to say issue has been due to me being put on the wrong speed. The order finished provisioning but I now need to ring billing tomorrow to have it fixed to the speed I initially ordered. Not a good start Telstra.

As you may know, there have been numerous discussions regarding the successes and failures of the education system in Tanzania.

Improving equity and quality of education in Tanzania
In this presentation I discuss educational philosophies the Tanzanian education system has pursued since the country's independence. Tanzania inherited the British System of Education. In its early years, the country pursued the Excellence Model of Education. The Excellence Model of education was entirely based on a bizarre interpretation of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Early educationists believed in the survival of the fittest as being the main tenet of the Darwinian Theory. Thus, survival of the fittest become the heart and soul of their education philosophy. The country pursued this philosophy (educating only the best) of education until late 1990s. Continue reading "Improving equity and quality of education in Tanzania"

What ails the Tanzanian Education System? The GPA vs Division Debate.
Yesterday, I re-read a letter Mr. Rakesh Rajani wrote to Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda. The letter was titled "Commission to Investigate Causes of Poor Form IV Results" and dated May 13th, 2013. The letter sparked my interest on recent development regarding education reporting in Tanzania. A few weeks ago, Professor Ndalichako decided to remove the use of gpa in calculating students' results when reporting exam scores. In arriving to her decision, Professor Ndalichako (the current Minister of Education) reported to have used sound scientific evidence. I quote ""Yes, we need change, but change should be informed and backed by scientific grounds." Continue reading "What ails the Tanzanian Education System? The GPA vs Division Debate."
Does Affect Impact Student Achievement?
Background: Educators are experiencing undue pressure to perform in education accountability driven by evidence-based instruction. The pressure to show adequate student performance on standardized tests causes many educators to allocate a larger portion of their classroom instructional time to test preparation instead of teaching higher-order learning and thinking skills (Tapia & Marsh, 2004). The shift in teaching time allocation also causes educators to sacrifice other crucial teaching and learning components believed to Continue reading "Does Affect Impact Student Achievement?"
Chimney Tops, Smoky Mountains National Park
There were many good moments in Gatlingburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. However, this one was among the best. And the best days were many. I do not have a good recollection of the events of each day that we spent at the Great Smoky Mountains. I would say, this was either the third or fourth day there. Each day we took a walk in the wild side to witness the beauty of nature. On this particular day, we went to climb and see the famous Chimney Tops Trail.
This trail is designated as strenuous. Therefore, we packed our rucksacks lightly with some juice, dry fruits, and a sandwich for the Pili-Pili. The trail is located half-way up the mountain on the singularly road to Cherokee, South Carolina. Once you pack your vehicle, the trail start slowly by descending to the bottom of the river. It was a beautiful sight and hugely deceiving of the long and uphill graded hike to come.
Once you cross a few bridges, steep and thoughtfully placed steps starts. There are 256 steps. Pili counted them out of boredom. The trail keeps going up, up, and up, and up again. Meandering like a giant river approaching the ocean. It's not the hike that brings hordes of people here. It's the amazing views on the way up and at the top of the chimneys. I know the pictures that you see here don't give justice to the actual views there. The 2.3 miles up and 2.3 miles down was joyous as anything i have never done in a few years.

- Ann Richards's 1988 keynote to the Democratic National Convention brought the house down with her humor and well-timed jokes--including one about being a rare woman keynoter.
- Bella Abzug's parody of an American Express ad was used to deliver a serious message about the time when women couldn't have their own credit cards, an issue she fought as a Member of Congress.
- Carol Burnett's live-audience Q&A sessions shows this comic as the improvisational adept that she is, but here, she's playing off the audience in live sessions she held at every taping of her popular television variety show.
- Caroline Kennedy's eulogy for Senator Ted Kennedy used a quiet, wry humor throughout this heartfelt speech to reflect their relationship and his outsize personality in a winning way.
- Diane Kelly's TEDMED talk on what we don't know about penis anatomy had the audience in inadvertent stitches throughout. A scientist, she deadpans with ease and assured the audience that yes, she *has* heard all the jokes about penises...then tells us something new she discovered.
- Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch told the story of her epiphany about "thin" as a joke on herself, with a lesson embedded: She shared this tale again and again in talks to Weight Watchers groups and general audiences to share her own self-deception in a clever way that anyone can relate to.
- Julie Andrews's 1964 Golden Globes acceptance speech is charming, perfectly correct--and a nose-tweaking of a studio head who didn't cast her in a big role, allowing her to take the role that led to this top award. It's so quickly done, you might miss it, but for her own double-take at the end. The audience of top stars certainly understood it.
- Lucille Ball at her Variety Club tribute, a lifetime achievement award, was a serious acknowledgment of her slapstick comedy success and her role as a top television executive. The jokes are there, but used with care amidst her heartfelt response to the tribute, an exercise in judicious use of humor.
- Margaret Edson's 2008 Smith College commencement speech is not only remarkable because it's extemporaneous, but because of her sly humor. Pay attention to her use of humor in the speech's acknowledgments, a staple of commencement speeches that, in her hands, became the opposite of rote and boring.
- Margaret Thatcher's "Iron Lady" speech, a serious speech that earned her the nickname, nonetheless includes humor as a tool to barb, parry, and thrust her way through a pointed delivery.
- Mary Roach's TED talk on 10 things you didn't know about orgasm sees the speaker laughing along with the audience when her topic gets uncomfortable or odd--but she moves on. Here, deadpan delivery and basing her talk in research helps balance the humor.
- Maya Angelou's eulogy for Coretta Scott King keeps the funeral from being cloying by sharing personal secrets of her friendship with King, including telling dirty jokes to make her laugh--which got a laugh from the mourners.
- Melissa Rivers's tribute to Joan Rivers, honoring the comedy queen after her unexpected death, was a heartfelt tribute that reflected precisely how her mother would have acted at such an event--with humor.
- Mindy Kaling at Harvard Law School's Class Day is a skillful study in self-deprecating humor, not something everyone can pull off, but highly effective here.
- Nellie McClung's "Should Men Vote?" took an earnest, often humorless cause--votes for women--and turned the tables by staging a debate using men's words about women's suffrage to skewer them and consider whether men should vote. Hilarious!
- Norah Ephron's commencement address at Wellesley College demonstrates humor in the hands of the master screenwriter. She skewers her class, her college, and society on the way to sharing important advice with the graduates.
- Phyllis Diller on comedy at the 92nd Street Y is a case study in precise timing--she aimed for 12 jokes a minute--in this not-quite-a-lecture that shares insights into how comedy is created from a true artist.
- Stella Young's "I'm not your inspiration" uses a big dose of humor to dispel the myth that every disabled person is inspiring by definition, poking fun and holes in her audience members' assumptions.
- Rep. Terri Sewell's remarks at the 50th anniversary of the march on Selma relates a funny story about an iconic civil rights "foot soldier" who marched on that historic day--and made President Barack Obama laugh. It's a great example of using levity to make a point on a serious anniversary.

19 famous humorous speeches by women
They say women can't be funny, and like so many other myths, that one is designed to keep women silent and separate them from this wonderful speaking gift. Fortunately, these 19 women ignored that myth and forged ahead with these famous and funny speeches we've collected in The Eloquent Woman Index of Famous Speeches by Women. They come from politicians, professional comedians, scientists, entrepreneurs, actors, authors, and activists, showing the full range of how to use humor in public speaking. Stay tuned next week, when we dig further into the concept that women can't be funny, and how that limits women as speakers. But for now, enjoy some laughs courtesy of these famous speeches. At the links, you'll find video, audio, and/or text, where available, along with tips you can use in your own public speaking:

Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad dubbed the price that Singapore is paying Malaysia for water as "ridiculous" and said Malaysia will make a case for renegotiating the terms of the deal.
The water deal is set to expire in 2061, however, Dr Mahathir said today:
"I think it is manifestly ridiculous that we should sell water at 3 sen per thousand gallons. That was okay way back in the 1990s or 1930s. But now what can you buy with 3 sen? Nothing."
Singaporean household are already reeling from a 30 percent hike in water prices levied by the Singapore government, and will likely face another hike if Malaysia were to raise the cost of water further.
Today, imported water meets half of Singapore's water needs.
Under the 1962 Water Agreement, Singapore is given full and exclusive rights to draw up to a maximum of 250 million gallons of water per day from the Johore River.
In return, Johor is entitled to buy treated water of the same volume as up to 2 per cent of the water extracted by Singapore on any given day.
In January this year, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Malaysia's former Prime Minister Najib Razak issued a joint-statement reaffirming the importance of undertaking measures to ensure the reliable and adequate water supply from the Johore River as provided for in the 1962 Water Agreement.
1 Comment
I am sure almost everyone would be mad with the Malaysian government seeking to increase the current water prices. But honestly, the price is really cheap. An agreement signed by leaders between the two countries should be honored too. In actual fact, it shouldn't blame Singapore for buying at such a good price. The blame should pinpointed to the Malaysian leader who agreed and signed the legal contract. They should read and think carefully before signing it. At least, they should add to the contract stating the water prices be raised progressively due to future money inflation. So if they never foresees these, maybe to just accept it or go for a softer approach to renegotiate. Just think in laymen term. Can we reject or dishonor a legal contract because we realized we have overpaid? No one put a pistol on our skull and forced us to sign the contract? I thought it was Mr Lee Kuan Yew who was smarter and outwit others.

Just recently, the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia announced that there are job vacancies available for female Filipino nurses trained in special areas. However, most applicants are hesitant to pursue their job applications because they are well-informed about the present employment crisis, termed as "Saudization", that has enveloped the rich Arab country since June 2011. Although this is a serious issue that we have to deal with as a country, there are a lot of misconceptions that we have to clear out about this "Saudization" phenomenon before anything else. And as a nurse with a sole intention to educate my fellow nurses, I want to share this five essential information that you must know about the "Saudization":
1. Saudization is a strict law but it will not cause massive displacement of Filipino nurses.
Saudization or the Saudi Nationalization Scheme (Nitaqat system) is the recent law implemented in Saudi that compels institutions and enterprises to fill-up their labor force with Saudi nationals. This is an answer to the country's growing number of unemployed citizens. According to www.nursing.ph, companies which fail to comply with the said policy will not be allowed to apply for new, replacement or seasonal visa for their foreign workers nor can they change their foreign workers' profession. They cannot also file an application to open new enterprises or branches. This in turn will inhibit them to hire foreign employees thus decreasing job offers in our country. On the upside, enterprises which are able to fulfill the said requirement can hire more foreign employees. For this reason, it is clear that "Saudization" will not cause massive termination of Filipino nurses and OFWs; only those who are working for companies that failed to comply with the requirements of Saudization have the chance to lose their jobs.
2. Saudization has been implemented for regulation purposes only so annual recruitment of Filipino nurses is still allowed.
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) calmed the public by saying that the Saudization would not have an immediate impact on OFWs because it would be implemented in a gradual manner. Some areas are not yet affected of the law and several companies have successfully complied with the Saudization requirements so the demands for Filipino nurses and other skilled workers remain high.
3. Filipino nurses from non-compliant companies will be allowed to be rehired by other companies if they pass a certain standard.
Workers, who are employed on companies that are not compliant to the policy and yet have exceeded 6 years of stay in KSA, can still be hired by compliant companies without the permission of their employers. (www.nursing.ph)
4. The Philippine government, through the assistance of DOLE, is doing its best to save Filipino nurses and other OFWs from the wrath of Saudization.
The Department of Labor and Employment of the Philippines(DOLE) has taken measures to provide immediate assistance to OFW's affected by this phenomenon. It has created an online registration system to put up a database which consist accurate information of the workers affected by Saudization. Moreover, DOLE also made an on-site re-employment assistance which helps transfer affected workers to compliant companies, and reintegration assistance for returning OFW's. (www.nursing.ph)
5. There is a possibility that Saudization might fail, at least according to predictions of some Arab nationals.
A news report published on www.filipinosabroad.com has revealed that after six months of implementation, labor officials in Saudi are saying that Saudization is so far a failure. As a matter of fact, 50% of private companies in Saudi are non-compliant with the scheme despite warnings that they would not be issued new work visas. This information appeared in an article in Emirates 24/7, a news site based in Dubai, UAE. In addition to that, other nationalities have failed to imitate the quality of care that Filipino nurses provide to their patients so it won't be surprising at all if KSA will one day announce that Saudization is no longer in effect.

There are zillions of guns in Bloodcrusher II, all randomly generated from a select list of parts to quickly satisfy any digital rampages. Sometimes however, you get something truly special. Guns that are not just random, they are explomazing! What does the word explomazing mean you ask? We have no idea! Lets just assume that it means something is so awesome, that it constantly requires explosions in the background to be viewed perfectly.
These explomazing weapons are called Uniques, and they can be found across all weapon classes, Slugthrowers, Automatics, Explosives, and Chemicals. They are usually rather gimmicky, but can easily pull you through some of the toughest encounters you can face in Bloodcrusher II. To create these weapons, we have decided to liberally (thanks Clinton!) utilize our time vortex to pass notes through space and time. While our initial notes regarding 1997's winning lottery numbers seemed to constantly fail, we did come across some astounding games still being made in the future, much to our surprise, and with their permission we started incorporating their weapons into our game. Our time lawyer wanted me to point out that due to time travel we did all of this first, and thus the original games are, in fact, ripping us off.
First up is Gilead's Gun from Paranautical Activity. This gun may be spawned by any enemy that can utilize the Machine Gun branch of the Automatic weapons. This weapon, of course, will not do him well after you've shot him in the face. While it takes a few seconds for the Gilead's Gun to spool up…
Pew Pew Pew Pew
When it finally does it fires strange orbs of what we presume is Gilead stuff! Its green and rather toxic! Keep in reach of small children, they'll think it is totally sweet! For ages 1-101. If you need your strange fix of whatever this is firing, be sure to get the game on your strange steam powered computers, or just check out the developer's chirper.
This rocks...
Next for this week is a, wait for it, a Rockbow! It is exactly what it sounds like! A crossbow that shoots rocks! This Rockbow in particular is based on the world of Before, a prehistoric game where you lead a ragtag group of individuals through the echelons of prehistoric society, ie; you hit some stuff with rocks. If that sounds like your kind of deal, check out the game's website, or its creator's chirper. Every shot from the Rockbow knocks enemies back a significant distance, making it great for juggling enemies or pushing away melee-focused baddies. And, of course, you can hit people with it.
...and if you shoot it right, heads roll!
Did you like these guns? That question is of course rhetorical, if you didn't like them there would be some rather serious problems in the future. What if we told you that you (yes you specifically) could make a sweet unique gun? We've set up a BBS to allow you to submit ideas directly to us! For our amazement or amusement depending on our mood! Go there! Make the past proud!

24 May 2013 Archived
Last Thursday evening a glamorous occasion took place in the Wanderers Club Ballroom Johannesburg, during which 50 magnificent garments of vintage couture from the private collection of South African fashion legend Chris Levin, went under the hammer.
Spanning forty years of fashion history, this collection represented South African vintage haute couture at its very best.
Strauss & Co is delighted to have attracted the attention of artist, curator and supporter of museums, Mark Coetzee, who generously donated eight garements to the Iziko Social History Collections Department. This welcome gift will begin to fill the existing gaps in their haute couture collection. It is fitting that garments of this level of workmanship, creativity and importance should form an integral part any South African fashion collection accessible to the public. Unfortunately, South African museums have limited funds and it is only through the generosity of philanthropists such as Mark Coetzee that our museum collections can expand.
Ms Rooksana Omar, Iziko's CEO, commented, "Iziko Museums of South Africa is delighted that Mark Coetzee, our generous benefactor, has identified us as recipient of selected, stunning designs by Chris Levin. It is this type of generosity that makes Iziko Museums such a magical and interesting place to visit and engage with our exhibitions. We look forward to showcasing the Levin fashions in the not too distant future at one of our museums. The acquisition of these stylish gowns and dresses will complement the recent gift of everyday isishweshwe garments designed and worn mainly by black rural and working class women in South Africa, though also taken up more recently on the international catwalk, and recently displayed in the Slave Lodge costume gallery".
Following his purchase, Mark Coetzee released the following statement:
"The opportunity to purchase eight wonderful pieces by designer Chris Levin, through Strauss and Co, and donate them to the costume collection of Iziko Museums is a small gesture on my part to thank the Iziko Slave Lodge (formerly the Cultural History Museum) for the great contribution they have made to Cape Town, our country and my personal learning. Since a young age our museums have been a place of great excitement and joy for me. I truly believe that all great cultures are based on the collective achievements of its citizens and the legacy we create through libraries, parks, museums, educational institutions etc. I am so honoured to be able to contribute to our National Museums and join the amazing individuals who have done the same in the past allowing us now to enjoy museums that enrich us, inspire us and teach us about human understanding. I do hope others of my time will do the same."

9 Reasons Co-Sleeping Doesn't Mean The End Of Your Sex Life
After my son was born, he had problems regulating his body temperature, and my doctor insisted I co-sleep with my son, skin-to-skin, in order to help him maintain a level body temperature. The first night of my son's night was spent by my side, and I realized that we would be co-sleeping for the foreseeable future. Of course, I was afraid that co-sleeping would negatively affect my intimate relationship with my partner but, it turns out, there are so many reasons why co-sleeping doesn't mean the end of your sex life. In fact, all it really means is that you have to get a little more creative.
At first, sex and co-sleeping weren't an issue because I wasn't physically able or mentally ready to have sex again. However, when I got the clear from the doctor and I felt like sex was something I wanted to experience with my partner, we both realized that co-sleeping hadn't ruined our chances of getting it on. In fact, in so many ways, co-sleeping actually helped us maintain an active sex life, if only because we were getting more sleep because, well, our son slept better when he was in bed with us.
There's always that kind of funny, kind of sad trope about "new parents never having sex again," but that just isn't the case, especially if you don't want it to be. Like anything else in either parenting or in a romantic relationship, it might take some extra effort and a little ingenuity, but here are a few reasons why co-sleeping doesn't mean your sex life has died:
There Are Other Places You Can Have Sex
Just because your bed is currently housing another, tiny human, doesn't mean that sex is completely off the table. Sure, you probably can't have it in your own bed, but that doesn't mean you can't have it in your living room or kitchen or your laundry room or on the floor or, well, you get the idea. The sky is literally the limit, and the need to re-locate in order to get your sex on, could end up being a catalyst for some of the the best sex you've ever had.
Your Kid Doesn't Have To Co-Sleep During The Day...
Just because you co-sleep at night, doesn't mean you have to co-sleep during the day. For me, personally, I could get my son down for a nap and sleeping on his own, as long as it wasn't "bed time." So, if sex was off the table at night, my partner and I just made it part of our day.
...So "Hello" Afternoon Delight
I mean, you can even sing the song afterwards, if you really feel like celebrating.
You Can Always Have Sex With Yourself...
If your partner isn't around during the day (or you don't have a parenting partner at all) you can always try and find the time to spend some one-on-one time with yourself. If the kid is sleeping or taking a nap and you're able to have some moments to yourself, enjoy them. I mean, really enjoy them.
And Let Babysitters/Family Members Step In So You Can Get A Break From The Baby
If co-sleeping is really getting in the way of your sex life, call on some help and let family members and/or a babysitter take over. Of course, this doesn't mean they have to co-sleep with your kid (I don't know how comfortable I would feel with a babysitter sleeping next to my son, but my mother? Yeah, that's not a big deal.) but you can ask them to come around for a few hours so you can either go on a date or spend time alone or go out with your partner and break in your car like you did when you were a teenager. No? Just me? Well, you get the idea.
You Might Get More Sleep Because You're Co-Sleeping...
Co-sleeping was, for me, an absolute saving grace and the reason why I was able to sleep as often as I did right after I birthed another human being. I didn't have to get up or out of bed to breastfeed, my son slept better and for longer, and it was just an all around more restful (although obviously not the same as eight straight hours of sleep) experience.
...So When You Can Have Sex, You'll Actually Have The Energy To
Which is why, when my partner and I were feeling in the mood and wanted to have sex, I actually felt like I could. I was still exhausted the majority of the time, don't get me wrong, but I wasn't completely drained to the point that I didn't have the energy to get down when I wanted to.
You Won't Co-Sleep Forever...
It might seem like you'll end up co-sleeping for the rest of your life, but you really won't. Of course, how long a parent decides to co-sleep is entirely up to them and different time spans work better for different families, but eventually your kid will sleep in their own bed and you'll get to reclaim your bedroom as the sex palace it once was.
...And You Might Just Find Yourself Feeling Closer To Your Partner, Because Of It
After co-sleeping with our son for over a year, and learning how to navigate around our new sleeping situation in order to maintain our sex life, I found myself closer to my partner. Are we having sex as often as we used to before we became parents? No. But are we still having sex and is that sex still great? You're damn right we are and you're damn right it is.

The Sustainable Angle is a not-for-profit organisation and founders of #FutureFabricsExpo. We initiate and support projects with a focus on sustainability in Fashion and Textiles and related industries such as food and agriculture.
Now in its 9th edition, The Sustainable Angle's Future Fabrics Expo is the largest dedicated showcase of sustainable materials for the fashion and textile industry in Europe. The expo features more than 5000 commercially-available fabrics and materials from over 150 suppliers who are offering innovative solutions with a low environmental footprint.
The Sustainable Angle was established as a not for profit organization in Switzerland in 2010 with the aim of initiating and supporting projects that lower the environmental impact of industry and society. The fashion and textile industries are amongst the worlds most polluting, and as such, became the main focus of our work The Future Fabrics Expo was initiated in order to effect positive change within the industry by connecting and promoting innovators and suppliers of sustainable materials with fashion brands. In order to achieve this, we established a set of criteria and researching sustainable materials that meet them became our main task. We contextualize this activity with the provision of much needed educational information regarding sustainability in textiles, via workshops and informative events.
The Sustainable Angle receives funding via donations and support from foundations and other entities, including sustainable textile suppliers who receive promotion via our activities and initiatives. The crucial research and educational information that we disseminate supports and underpins the meaningful change required by the industry. Without the aforementioned generous donations and contributions that support The Sustainable Angle, we could not provide the research that forms the backbone of knowledge to inform this critical change.
As the Future Fabrics Expo has matured and sustainable textiles and practices have become more widespread, demand from both industry and suppliers has increased and more expansive showcases and event spaces became necessary, offering exhibitors producing sustainable materials the scope to present more extensive ranges of materials in the Future Fabrics Expo in their own dedicated spaces.
This expansion necessitated the creation of a UK entity, established for insurance and liability purposes, with London being our main geographical location.
This entity, Future Fabrics Expo Ltd, will, hopefully in the future be able to not only be self-sufficient, (it is currently partly supported by The Sustainable Angle) but will eventually generate funds which will loop back to The Sustainable Angle, in order to support the educational research and engagement that is a significant part of what we do. We are focused on operating as independently as possible.

COVID-19 Uni Resources Megathread
Key sites students should know to keep up to date with COVID-19 uni news.
$5 Movie Tickets and ferry movie deals? This is the ultimate guide to seeing movies on a budget (Captain Marvel is out btw)
Nowadays going to the movies has become increasingly rare amongst us students. It's so overpriced with standard student tickets costing up to 18 dollars, so why would anyone want give up their hard-earned living costs from papa Studylink?
Here are 10 deals that actually make going to the movies worth it, and you'll no longer have to click out of 5 NSFW ads just to watch 2 minutes of film.
Academy Cinemas is a little gem nestled in the heart of the city, if you venture down the few flights of stairs you will find a retro feeling, boutique cinema, with the classic prices to fit.
Where: Academy Cinemas (44 Lorne St, CBD)
This may be one of the cheapest, yet cutest date nights you can have in Auckland.
The guys at 'The Vic in Devonport' have teamed up with Fullers to create an amazing movie and ferry combo. Regardless of price, this one is definitely the most fun on the list and I highly recommend it.
Where: The Vic (48 Victoria Rd, Devonport)
Ah, the classic Hoyts. Known notoriously for their overpriced movie tickets and food.
I bet you're wondering why they're even on this list?
Give me a chance. Hoyts have recently revamped their pricing system, removing standard adult, senior, child, and student tickets. They have instead set a flat rate of $18 for any movie goer, but they have also introduced 'Saver' and 'Super Saver' movie sessions. This is available all over Auckland so it is super handy when these more specific cinema deals aren't nearby.
Where: Hoyts (Various)
Berkeley Cinemas located in both Takapuna and Mission Bay offer the same 'Saver' and 'Super Saver' scheme as Hoyts, but at an even better price! In summary, there's no bad time to go to Berkeley Cinemas.
Where: Berkeley Cinemas (Takapuna & Mission Bay)
Terms: None
When going to big movie cinema chains you can expect the ticket prices to pretty much stay the same location to location. Although, for some reason the Event Cinemas in Westgate decided to not follow this rule and basically made 'Cheap Tuesday' everyday.
Where: Event Cinemas (Westgate Shopping Centre, 1-5 Fernhill Dr, Massey)
Terms: None
Now, if you can't make Academy Cinema's $5 Wednesdays, don't worry, Bridgeway Cinema has you covered. Located just over the shore in Northcote next to a beautiful lookout you will find the classic arthouse cinema. The location and the cinema are both just amazing and with $5 Mondays existing, I'm sold.
Where: Bridgeway Cinema (122 Queen St, Northcote)
If you, a friend, or the random weird guy sitting next to you in your lecture are Vodafone customers then you can use Vodafone Rewards to score cheap movie tickets! If you don't know anyone who's with Vodafone then have no fear, Event Cinemas is also home to the famous 'Cheap Tuesday'.
Where: Event Cinemas (Various)
I understand that some of these methods to get cheap tickets may be more pain than what they're worth, but Reading Cinemas out west in New Lynn keeps it real and offers one price for everyone, any session, any day!
Where: Reading Cinemas (Inside Lynn Mall Shopping Centre, 3058 Great North Rd, New Lynn)
Terms: None.
Capitol Cinema and Lido Cinema, located down the road from each other in Balmoral and Epsom both offer quality student deals throughout the entire week!
Where: Capitol & Lido Cinemas (Balmoral & Epsom)
If you're willing to make a small investment, you can nab $10 movie tickets all year round at any Event Cinemas location! For just an annual payment of $10, any student can upgrade to a 'Cinebuzz for Students' card. Plus you'll earn points every time you visit which you can use on free tickets!
Now I'm not a mathematician, but if a standard student ticket costs about $16.50, you have to VISIT JUST TWICE A YEAR to make money off your 'Cinebuzz for Students' membership, and that's good business.
Where: Event Cinemas (Various Locations)

If I had a pound for every
time I was asked…
How much does a website cost?
Annoying answer incoming….. it completely varies depending on your requirements.
I work out my quotes based on the amount of time it takes to me to build, and this depends on the style you're after, whether or not you have the content, if you need me to do keyword research etc.
To give you a rough idea though, my day rate is £350 and a non-e-commerce 5 page portfolio site usually takes me around 3-5 days.
All of my websites are built from scratch, no templates here!
Can you 'do SEO'?
Yes 🙂
Every website I build is given the best possible chance of ranking organically on Google: well-researched metadata, focussed pages for your target keywords, a responsive design, an SSL certificate, a local Google My Business listing (if appropriate), a sitemap submitted to Google Search Console and Google Analytics configured so we can gain valuable insights further down the line. In laymen's terms, if you don't want to appear on Google, use Wix. If you do, hire me!
I can also do SEO on an ongoing basis for your business too…
How long does it take to build a website?
Again, it depends on what you're after and how complex the build is.
If it's a fairly simple website and you have the content already created, then this can be as quick as around 1-2 weeks from the point I get the brief. For a more complex e-commerce site, this will, of course, take longer. However, if needed I can work with some of my contacts to help speed up the process.
If you have a specific deadline, please do let me know!
Can you write content for my website?
Yes, no problem. Whether you're a plumber or a candlestick maker, I'll happily learn the ropes and write about your business in whichever tone you wish.
Can you create me an email address which matches my domain?
Hell yeah!
Can you build e-commerce sites?
Yes, I can create for you an e-commerce website which enables your customers to pay via all the popular payment gateways, e.g. PayPal, Stripe etc.
I already have a website, but I want a new one. How does that work?
No biggie! When working with customers who already have a domain, I usually create the overall look and functionality of your new website on a very separate subdomain. Then, only once you're 1oo% happy, I move it over to the domain you already have.

Although San Antonio, Texas' top tourism city, has plenty to see and do inside the city itself, there are also a number of top-rate attractions within a short drive of downtown.

AddressChoke Canyon Reservoir, Texas, USA
Located barely more than an hour's drive from San Antonio, Choke Canyon Reservoir is among Texas' best big bass lakes and perhaps the biggest bass fishing secret in the country. Choke Canyon Lake was formed by backing up nearly 26,000 acres of water from the Frio River over a variety of creekbeds, timber, and other structure. This combination, plus South Texas' temperate weather, has resulted in Choke Canyon consistently producing quality black bass.

Kolkata, Oct 26 (IANS) A stunning display of multicoloured geometric floor patterns, called alpana, will greet VIPs, including the FIFA U-17 finalists on their way to the Salt Lake Stadium for the grand finale on Saturday.
This soccer-crazy city of cricket-loving India has put on quite a show for the FIFA delegates and the squads in the run-up to the October 28 finals.
Now, as the day approaches, at least 200 students, including 15 from Bangladesh, have been sketching at a frenetic pace to put up the visual treat on the road that serves as the VIP entry to the arena.
"There are two split roads (600 feet by 62 feet in total) and another stretch, connecting the entry to the stadium, which are being used for the alpana design. We are creating geometric patterns for the alpana," Anirban Das, a student at Visva Bharati's Kala Bhavan told IANS.
Das is co-ordinating with the students from four colleges and three universities in Bengal to sketch out the display on time.
"We are not drawing any brands or flags associated with the sport etc. It's a pattern. The paint, Berger exterior coating, will stay on for at least a week," Das added.
The initiative epitomises the city's love for art, he said, adding it also highlights how art shines through in every aspect of the city's life.

Why use MACS?
Marine experts know that straight water flushing does little to remove damaging salt corrosion. These salt deposits build up inside the motor and cause damage in two ways -
- Salt is deposited onto the cooling channel surfaces. Just like hard water mineral deposits on the interior of hot water cylinder pipes, the salt builds up to insulate the cooling system thereby reducing its efficiency. Overheating problems usually result.
- Pitting corrosion occurs after the salt has broken the surface of the alloy and burrows into the actual motor block. Motor failure results when this process continues through to the cylinders or exterior.
In either case, use of MACS will drastically reduce these processes!
- Regular use of MACS gently cleans harmful salt and corrosion deposits, even if the motor has never been flushed.
- After cleaning, a fine film of corrosion inhibitor is left behind on all surfaces and this protects from corrosive salt water.
- The film lubricates and protects moving parts in the water pump, including the impellor and thermostat.

Community Mental Health Centers
In 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed into law the Community Mental Health Centers Act. This act required that federal and state funding be made available for indigent and low-income people with mental health disorders so that they could receive a diagnosis and treatment. These locally-based community mental health centers offer easy access, are typically located near public transportation and offer free or sliding-scale care for the people who need it.
Who Can Go to a Community Mental Health Center
People of all ages may receive mental health care services at a community mental health center. Anyone who does not have health insurance with mental health benefits can use the community mental health center. People without medical insurance can also use the centers. According to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the centers have specialized services for serving children, the elderly, patients with serious mental health diseases and people who have recently been discharged from an inpatient psychiatric hospital, drug treatment program or mental health program.
Types of Professionals Who Work at Community Mental Health Centers
Many different professionals work at community mental health centers. Counselors and therapists offer individual and group counseling to patients. Licensed clinical social workers fulfill many roles at the community health centers. They may function as care coordinators, resource locators, intake specialists, outreach coordinators and run support groups. Activity coordinators offer workshops and programs during the daytime and evening hours. Social workers and registered nurses offer care coordination with the patient's medical providers and other community service programs. The centers also have administrative staff for handling scheduling, billing, payments and the general operations of the facility.
Services Provided at Community Mental Health Centers
Community mental health centers offer a wide range of outpatient services to patients. Individual and group therapy sessions are available. These sessions might be themed around a particular topic such as anger management or identifying triggers. Group activities such as arts and crafts, games or puzzles may be held. These activities help patients develop healthy social skills so that they can communicate with others. Patients can also get their community services streamlined. They may be able to apply for other assistance programs such as food or housing during their appointments with the center's social workers. Workshops withe age-appropriate activities are available for children and seniors. For example, children's workshops at a community mental health center might include playing with puppets or painting with water colors.
Quality of Care at Community Mental Health Centers
Community mental health centers must adhere to specific federal guidelines for quality of care. They are routinely audited and inspected. The federal money provided to the center does not meet the facility's entire budget needs. State and local dollars also contribute to the operations of the facility. The patient fees from sliding scale payments make up the remainder of the community mental health center's operational expenses.

Community mental health centers provide essential mental health care to people who would not be able to access the services any other way. These centers also help people coordinate their spectrum of social services and other health services with their mental health treatment program. Staffed by professionals and regularly audited for quality, community mental health centers are set up to be an essential part of the public social safety net.

Video games Walkthrough - Just what is a Dvd Walkthrough
On-line computer games walkthrough identifies a certain form of documentation that is used to instruct a new player the best way to solve or beat a particular game. Most people have a look at video game walkthroughs as a kind of cheating; however, experiencing a walkthrough is perfectly acceptable.
Walkthroughs are generally produced by amateur players after completing a specific game. These written guides tend to be then offered online for other players to see in the event everybody want some assistance in finishing a campaign or solving some puzzle.
There are many pc game walkthroughs, covering a multitude of games which range from text adventure, graphic adventure, and even puzzle adventure games. Nowadays, walkthroughs are mainly employed for games that are more complicated such as strategy and the popular role playing. Video games that do not need a lots of player involvement usually just provide its players which has a answers to a listing of common questions or FAQs.
Some of the most effective walkthroughs tend not to exactly provide a player one step by step guide regarding how to complete the game; instead, these walkthroughs simply point a person in to a different direction, declaring things that that they've not tried. This kind of game walkthrough is much better than divulging answers to some puzzle, campaign, or quest. Most players, especially those who play role doing offers, would just like tips and hints on where to find more activities to do; some in depth walkthroughs sometimes spoil and also get rid of the fun in playing these games initially.
Most dvd walkthroughs are systematically organized using the stages or amounts of a unique game. These documents are generally offered just as one online resource for enthusiasts. Good computer game walkthroughs provide a review or overview, a shorter description, and maybe even a screenshot; some hints that will contain spoilers; plus some cheats that contain ways of puzzles to make game play easier.
A fantastic variation into a straightforward walkthrough is often a document that delivers its players with progressive hints. This type of walkthrough simply provides players some specific hints that really help guide the player to locate a solution to the game. Using this method, a person just isn't handed the most apparent and easiest resolution to the problem he may encounter throughout the sport. In this kind of walkthrough, the ball player has a certain level of control about how many hints he desires to get.
Computer game walkthroughs are essentially an option for all players, whether they wish to look for a in depth solution, or perhaps hints or suggestions to make their play more interesting - the option is about them.

European action is over so it's back to domestic action and we should be seeing some big crowds over the festive period. Last round we saw the first cracks from Exeter when they lost to Harlequins. This round sees many important clashes up and down the table.
Here is my video with my Gallagher Premiership Round 10 Predictions:
Worcester Warriors v Northampton Saints – Worcester Warriors by 5
9th hosts 10th in the table and all these clashes between the bottom 7 teams are going to be crucial. Worcester have got themselves some decent form having won their last 2 home games. Saints have been picking up some valuable losing bonus points recently and I think that's how it will go again.
Exeter Chiefs v Saracens – Exeter Chiefs by 5
I mentioned Exeter shows the first cracks with that loss to Harlequins. However when talking to an Exeter fan he said there were only 3 games that matter this year. Home and away to Saracens then the final against Saracens at Twickenham. That might be a bit presumptuous but it certainly has been looking that way. Both these sides are going well and I'm backing home advantage to be the difference.
Leicester Tigers v Harlequins – Harlequins by 3
Harlequins are a team that are just managing to keep themselves above the massive relegation scrap. That has come about by picking up 3 wins in their last 5 games. This shows that Paul Gustard's systems might be taking hold. Tigers on the other hand have been a mess with wins only over the bottom there in the league. With all that I think Quins will pick up their second away win of the season.

Sale Sharks v Bristol – Sale Sharks by 5
Sharks are another team with some good recent form. 2 wins and a draw in their last 3 games may still see them sit 11th in the table but they have closed the gap on the rest. Bristol are a strange one, dangerous at home but fallible on the road. However they got a LBP in their last away game in the premiership and won in France last weekend. I'm still going to back Sale's recent form.
Newcastle Falcons v Gloucester Rugby – Gloucester Rugby by 3
With Newcastle being so far from all the other teams it's always a hard trip to make. Also Gloucester have only got 1 away win in the Premiership, however their 2 losses came to Exeter and Saracens. Wins over Bath and Saints really have pulled Falcons back into the battle. However I think they should be happy with a LBP from this game.
Wasps v Bath – Wasps by 3
It's hard to know what's going on at Wasps and with the noise that players want to leave as well doesn't help. However 3 of their 4 losses have been to the top 3 teams in the league. Also Baths travelling form has been woeful so you have to go with the home win.
