Just as the different parts of the body, our nails deserve some special care too. And for that we, once in a while go for a manicure and get new nail shape and/or color. Now, with the hyped nail trend, we all want to flaunt different nail styles without paying much attention to which style will suit us best. So, here's a guide to help you choose a nail style according to the shape of your hand:
Round Shaped Nails: The most popular shape as it's the easiest to create. The round shape helps stretch shorter nails which have a wide nail bed. Hence, it's ideal for those with chubby hands, as it helps make hands look more slender.
Square Shaped Nails: These nails provide a blunt edge to nails which makes this style the one that needs very low maintenance. They're perfect for thin hands with long fingers, as they help add width.
Almond Shaped Nails: As the name suggests, they've a wide base, slim sides, and a curved point. They simply add length to nails and hands. But they provide a natural look and are in trend currently.
Ballerina Shaped Nails: They're also called coffin-shaped, as they're quite edgy, long, thin and squared towards the end. Also, they simply provide length to short hands and/or nails but, to carry such a style you need to make sure you've strong nails, if not, you always have an option of fake nails.
Squoval Shaped Nails: Most natural style to carry and the most easy ones to maintain too. It suits all shapes and sizes as it simply follows the outline of your cuticle. It forms a square shape but with soft and round edges. Super compatible to mothers of infants or those who are nail-biters.
Oval Shaped Nails: A style very similar to that of almond nails, but this one has a flat and blunt tip. This style must be your go to if you've small hands. Make sure you're not a nail-biter though!

Recently I was forced into utilizing smoke signals in the jungles of Panama for communication. Its rainy season so that didn't go over too well. Apparently the universe decided I needed to get quiet and lay in the muck in my own trench. Trust me it didn't feel too good.
I walk a fine line everyday as it is, but to be taken out of contact with everyone but myself really sucked. I haven't liked myself very much lately, so you can imagine what a party I had…woo fucking hoo! When you are in a 3rd world country like Panama you are forced to follow the rules that they put forth to get phone lines back up and internet back on, but they don't follow their own rules. It becomes a circle jerk.
I am in the process of getting myself out of here and back to my homeland, where most of the population stops at red lights and two lanes remain two lanes and not six. Anyway, I was off-line for 17 days and in the first week I sat in frustration and anger. Then I went into the wallowing "why me's" and that is really ugly. If you have never seen it, I don't recommend it.
A very good friend came to my rescue. She showed up with piles of food and booze (we wont count the six-pack of bottles that went crashing to the floor in the first 5 minutes of unpacking…she gave blood that day). I didn't have much in my fridge (almost nothing) and no wine to whine with. She also brought an old blackberry for me to use as a back up. I've never used one of those before, I'm still old school.
I know times have changed but I miss the old phones simple and straight forward. Dial a number and talk to your friends. None of this ### shit, that makes no sense. Anyway try as she might my friend didn't try to force me out of my slump, she was simply "there" for me. I am very lucky to call her my friend.
More than another week went by of begging the phone company to do something about the problem and finally on day 17 it happened…my phone rang. Before I came back on-line, I had been reading what I had on my kindle and watching movies (cables out, and that is ok). I was in desperate need of a shift in my frame of being. What helped me the most was watching the movie "Peaceful Warrior" based on a true story written by Dan Millman. If you have never read the book or watched the movie I highly recommend it.
What I realized is, that I needed to take out the trash that keeps rolling around in this head of mine. Acknowledging there is still so much anger and hurt was a big deal for me. I thought I was done with most of it, but I have buried some stuff way the hell out in the hill's of B.F.E. By reading my posts you will see a plethora of emotions, and I try not to write when I'm really pissed off because I don't want to spread the rage. There is no reason for it. So, sorry for the post before this one.
What "Peaceful Warrior" reminded me of is to try to stay in the moment. It's not easy to do, but I've been trying. What ever it is that I'm doing, sipping tea or loving on Panama Jack (my boy kitty) I try to think about only that one thing. If you try this and find yourself working out your grocery list or thinking about why the attorney wont call you back or why the fucking phone company wont do their job, don't worry its normal. It takes time and practice. All I can do is the best I can do, and that's it.
In my trench I love, miss, hate and worry about my mother dying before I can get back to her. In my trench I wonder why, why, why people wont do their jobs and do what they say they are going to do. In my trench I am trying desperately to pull and scrape the extra weight off of my short frame. There is lots of muck in there and taking out the trash is letting go of all of it. Not looking in the past but staying in the moment.
I'm feeling better now but I am still on that ledge. It's a life time of experience and the work will be on going until I take my last breath. That is the way of being human. Its constant but I find connecting with spirit and breathing through some of the pain helps. Even when I do leave this place I will be doing the same work, just in a different landscape and no more smoke signals.

I've already road-tested them all. You're welcome.
I've already road-tested them all. You're welcome.
The Kama Sutra is more than just circus-like sex positions. The most referenced and oldest guide to sexuality, the Kama Sutra describes how couples can enjoy true intimacy lovemaking – yes, with a few spectacular sex positions to try, too!
Here's how Kama Sutra techniques can give you a better sex life tonight.
Slow it down
The first lesson from the Kama Sutra is to slow down and explore each other. Most couples enjoy a fairly routine sex life – but here the teachings focus on sharing slow, deep kisses and caressing your partner all over the body, except the genital areas. Allow for a build-up of anticipation, instead of just jumping in.
Uncovering your own desires
The Kama Sutra is all about the art of foreplay. The opportunity to kiss, lick, scratch, and nibble each other awakens the senses and uncovers what turns you on. Allow yourselves an afternoon or evening of uninhibited play. Begin with a sexy massage and slowly test new pleasures on each other.
Not your average sex positions
Most of us associate the Kama Sutra with its complex sex positions involving a lot of flexibility! Kama Sutra sex positions do take practice, but what could be more fun – and sexy? There are a lot of sensual ideas to explore, including the Jrimbhitaka (Yawning Posture) that involves the woman pinned into sexy submission.
Total mind and body satisfaction
Feeling an emotional connection with the one you love is the key to mind-blowing orgasms. Make sure that your partner feels sexy and appreciated. Quickies are fine when pressed for time, but set aside one night a week to take the time to experiment with these Kama Sutra techniques.
Have you tried any Kama Sutra techniques?

You are here: Home > About Us > Campaigns > Let's take on Childhood Obesity
Title: "Childhood Obesity; Let's take it on, one small step at a time"
Audience: All adults on the island of Ireland
Channels: Television, radio, outdoor, digital, social, print and retail with free booklet for parents available in crèches, health centres, GP surgeries, and from public health nurses and local libraries
Web: https://www.safefood.eu/
Launch date: 21 October, 2013
This three year campaign aims to communicate practical solutions that parents can take on in order to tackle the everyday habits associated with excess weight in childhood. The campaign also aims to maintain awareness among parents of the health challenges posed by excess weight in childhood, the negative impact this can have on the quality of life, and the importance of tackling this for the long-term.
Tackling Childhood Obesity is a public health priority, with 1 in 4 children across the island of Ireland now carrying excess weight. Without action to reverse the trends we're seeing in our own and our children's weight and health, the next generation will be beset with significant ill-health related to overweight and obesity, most of which is potentially preventable.
With research indicating a demand for practical solutions but in small, achievable steps, the campaign messaging will focus on six core actions for parents, on a phased, three-year basis:
As well as accessing the latest population dietary research, safefood undertook extensive focus groups with parents in multiple locations across the island. This research found that parents are aware of the issue, concerned about their current choices, and really in need of practical strategies, solutions and information on how to bring about change for their family's health.
The Special Advisory Group on Obesity (SAGO), the Healthy Ireland Framework in the Republic of Ireland and the Fitter Futures for All Implementation Plan in Northern Ireland form the strategic basis for the campaign.
The Health Service Executive and Healthy Ireland (ROI) and the Public Health Agency (NI).

Mr. Bauer, kindergarten extraordinaire, all dressed up for career day.
If you don't like proud parent posts, please avert your eyes and go cry over the wedding post again.
If you're still with me, get ready. Yesterday was Nathan's first parent-teacher conference, during which we were handed his first report card.
Oh yeah, it's going to get good.
The boys and I sat outside the classroom door, in the hall full of hand-painted pumpkins and stories about mummies with five-year-old names scribbled on top. As kids passed, hand-in-hand with parents, Nathan spoke to them. Every single one of them.
- "Hey, I know you! I played with you on the swings!"
- "Hey Katherine! Is that your mom?"
- "Hey Christopher, your little sister is so cute!"
- "Hi! I saw you in the cafeteria. What's your name?"
Mrs. Dodd flipped to the tiger, which was yesterday morning's entry, and told us she used it as an example for the class because it was better than hers. He's five. She told him he would be a great teacher (see above photo), but encouraged him to join his love of books and drawing and become an illustrator. He's five.
Nathan's eyes lit up and mine watered as she proceeded to tick through a list of adjectives. Attentive, helpful, polite, smart, creative, eager.
Y'all. I almost cried at parent-teacher conferences.
Once he piles out of the car in the morning, he's on his own. He navigates halls, works in corners, plays at recess, and raises his hand - all by himself. Jonathan and I have released him into the wild and yesterday we got a glimpse of what that looks like.
And, as you can tell, I was pleased with what I saw.

I want you to make a new start
I want you to clear your mind and start thinking the improbable.
I want you to imagine what life would be like if you were SLIM.
For example, if you're a housewife and mother, your day might go something like this.
An Imaginary Day
You get up and slip into a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. It's raining but you don't care. You are full of energy and looking forward to a new day. You get the kids up and have a good breakfast. Because you are so cheerful, the kids are too. After driving them to school you come home to clear up.
For the next couple of hours you tidy up, wash up, put away, fetch and carry, do a huge pile of washing and a thousand other things. But you don't mind. In fact you feel great. After all, you're not carrying an extra 40 or 50 pounds around anymore. You're slim.
Then you go into town to meet a friend for lunch. She is overweight, tired and rather fed up. She isn't feeling herself and has just been to the doctor. She's not really hungry, so while you tuck into a delicious pasta salad, she eats a Danish Pastry and a coffee with cream and tells you how tired she is.
After this, you do some shopping. Along the way, you stop and chat to several people. Because you feel good, you can't help smiling and being nice to them. Result? They are nice back, which makes you feel even better. Which is just as well because as soon as you get home you find that the washing machine has spilled water all over the kitchen floor.
No sooner have you mopped it up than your mother-in-law rings to complain about nobody visiting her and asks you to pick up her shopping. You look at your watch. You can just manage it.
You pick up the shopping, rush around to your mother-in-law's, politely refuse her offer of apple pie and cream, chat for half an hour, pick up the kids from school, help them with their homework, cook tea, wash up, clear away and do the ironing. By six-thirty, you are back in the kitchen cooking dinner.
When your husband comes home, he is in a foul mood. However, because you are so cheerful, he quickly snaps out of it. He even suggests going out for a meal at the weekend.
The fact is, ever since you lost weight, he has been much more romantic and attentive.
After a light dinner of chicken and vegetables, you finish off the chores, watch some TV and collapse into bed. Before closing your eyes, you remind yourself how wonderful it is to be slim. OK, you have to keep looking after everyone and you still have to get someone to fix the washing machine, but somehow it's all so much easier when you haven't got a ton of weight on your back!
Is this how you would like to be? If so, start dreaming about it! Why? Because this helps to make the whole thing more real. It helps to make it seem possible. Result? You may decide to make your dream come true.
For next weight loss tip, click Dieting isn't deprivation!

Introduction: Sprite and Gummy Pops
I havent posted in a while but im back! My friends told me that this popsicle is good so i decided to try it myself, and i think the results are spectacular :)
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Get the Ingredients
First off you need
* popsicle molds (I got my trusty Mickey Mose molds :P)
*1 Liter ounce Sprite bottle (I used 20 fld ounce bottle)
* pack of bright fruity gummy bears
now you got all the ingredients :)
Step 2: Get Started
Open your bag of gummy bear and put an appropriate amount and place them into each mold.
Next pour some Sprite into each container until its all full.
Step 3: Freeze It
Put the top on the molds and put the pops in the freezer.
Step 4: Extras
- If you're like me I'm sure you saved some gummy bears for you to eat... well i came across this instructable that'll keep you busy while your waiting for your pops to freeze. So finish drinking your Sprite and click over to that instructable in the meanwhile:
- https://www.instructables.com/id/Gummi-Bear-Surgery...
Step 5: Checking It (optional)
I dont know if you guys do this but I like to watch water change to ice, it just looks so magical! :D So this step is completely optional, but if you want you can open it up and check on it every few 6 hrs or so..
it should look li9ke this when it's done
Step 6: Eating It!
Once it's completely frozen take it out and look at its awesomeness!!!!! or of course eat it :P
but as you can see it has alot of beautiful colors and when you bite into the gummy bear a whole bunch of fruit flavors bounce back at you. You can still faintly taste some of the Sprite and that really adds to the whole effect of the popsicle.
This popsicle was really easy to make and summer is finally here so if you want you can enjoy this on a nice hot day (but i live in San Francisco and right now we're expirencing some cold windy days).
I hope you guys try this delicious treat and show me a pic if you did, or if you have your own version! If you havent already check out my older instructables, many more on the way! Laters

I do not consider myself beautiful. I also don't consider myself ugly. My thoughts on beauty formed at an early age, no doubt framed by traditional concepts of beauty as portrayed in the media. Beauty is thin. Beauty is perfect skin. Beauty is smooth thick hair. Beauty is brains, and the list goes on.
I had this flashpoint realization a few weeks ago. I have beauty all wrong. I'm working on a project, heading it actually, and one of the main players happens to be woman who fits the bill of a classic beauty: shapely, in-shape, flawless skin, long flowing hair, perfect body (did I mention that yet?), brains (I won't identify her profession in case she's reading this), a litany of artistic hobbies. By all accounts, she has it all. And I CHOSE HER for this project—basically the universe put her in my life to teach me a lesson.
Doing a search for articles will turn up any number of discussion on how we treat women who wear make-up better than those who don't. Here's on in the New York Times that tells us to wear some make-up if we want to move up higher on the career ladder: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/13/fashion/makeup-makes-women-appear-more-competent-study.html?_r=0
The message: to have more of what we want in life, then we need to conform to pre-conceived notions of beauty.
I can't change society. I can't change others, but I can look at how I contribute to the problem. And it is a problem to hold women to unrealistic standards of beauty.
How do I explain this? Occasionally, I wear make-up, but not always. Sometimes I do my hair fancy, but not every day. Normally, I coordinate my clothing, but not all the time. As I write this, I'm looking at a picture of me and my dad. My hair's a bit wispy. I'm not wearing make-up. My earrings match my dress. It's also the most beautiful picture I have. Why? I'm smiling, and next to me is my dad. He's smiling too. It's the last picture I ever took with him. And it's beautiful.
I have to change my standards of beauty and appreciate that true beauty resides within. True beauty comes from a smile untouched by outer circumstances. True beauty makes the soul feel like it can float effortlessly a thousand miles above the sky.
I don't hide my body in yoga. I used to. But the beauty of Bikram yoga is the heat that makes me let go of my inhibitions. I don't always like what I see in the mirror, but I have a deep appreciation for my ability to be in that hot room. That's beauty. The beauty of movement.
I'm still thinking about all this. About beauty. About how my conceptualization of it is changing. I hope everyone wakes up in the morning and they realize their own beauty just as they are. That's how we can change beauty. That's how we can better our lives—realize the beauty of being.
There's true freedom in not molding ourselves to meet others expectations. We really don't even want to meet our own. That's the beauty of being. Just being. Not trying to be something else. From that sea of being, happiness can be found and from that unfettered well of happiness all things are possible.

Kenyon has temporarily adjusted its operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Read more here.

The course is designed specifically with first-year students in mind. The seminar is taught by an interdisciplinary group of Kenyon faculty members who have interests in teaching, researching and engaging with others in the discussion of issues and concerns pertaining to African and African diaspora studies. The specific topic to be addressed each year is developed by the crossroads faculty at the end of the preceding spring semester. The seminar typically will be taught as a colloquium where several crossroads faculty offer a set of lectures serving as discrete modules. Within this format, students will explore the cultures of the African diaspora and their influences on the global culture. Students will also focus on analytical writing and public vocal expression. Enrollment is limited to 15 students. This counts toward 0.5 units in AFDS or AMST. This interdisciplinary course does not count toward the completion of any diversification requirement. No prerequisite. Generally offered every other year.

This discussion-based course introduces students to several of the most important approaches to the study of African diaspora experiences. Students taking this course will find themselves engaged with a variety of disciplines (e.g., anthropology, history, literary study, psychology, sociology and visual and performing arts). Though some of the texts may change extensively from year to year, the focus of this course will be to undertake a preliminary investigation into the connections and the relationship between Africa and several other parts of the world. No prerequisite. Generally offered every spring.

One of the more important intellectual movements of the last decade, black British cultural studies offers us important intellectual tools that are used to think about race, ethnicity, gender, class and nationality in a rapidly changing world. This course begins with a brief consideration of cultural studies as a general proposition, then turns to the specifics of black British cultural studies. One of the central threads of the course will be a consideration of how the various terms of analysis that were developed in the study of Great Britain and its former colonies might be usefully applied to the United States. Authors to be considered will include Hazel Carby, Paul Gilroy, Stuart Hall and others. We also will read the work of thinkers who critically engage black British cultural studies, such as Aijaz Ahmad. English majors may count this course toward departmental major requirements.This interdisciplinary course does not count toward the completion of any diversification requirement. Prerequisite: sophomore standing. Generally offered every two years.

The objective of this interdisciplinary seminar is to offer a clear understanding of what womanist and feminist theory are, as well as how the two often overlap in history, social commentary and methodology. As such, the materials used in the course make explicit reference to the many academic and social contexts that have given rise to both feminist theory and womanist theory. During the course of the semester, we will trace several elements of the African American experience, predominantly pertaining to women, in order to understand how disparate voices have been informed by each theoretical paradigm. Fictional and academic texts, films, audio-clips, and several other examples of womanist and feminist discourses will be used to cement the understanding of these theoretical paradigms. This interdisciplinary course does not count toward the completion of any diversification requirement. Prerequisite: AFDS 110 and one mid-level course that may be counted toward the AFDS concentration or permission of instructor.

The Individual Study course (IS) option within the African Diaspora Studies Program is a flexible concept to be negotiated between students, faculty members and the current program director. IS courses will typically be prompted by student initiative combined with faculty interest and availability. IS courses can sometimes be offered when students need to take a particular course within one of our faculty member's expertise in order to fulfill the requirements of the concentration. Even in this circumstance, however, the option for an IS depends upon faculty availability. While it is expected that students will broach the possibility of doing individual study, faculty will have the ultimate authority in determining how any individual study course is to be conducted during the course of the semester. This is viewed as an exceptional opportunity that we provide our students and, as such, we emphasize that this option is never to be expected as an ordinary course of events. As a matter of expedience and given the dynamic and interdisciplinary nature of the AFDS Program from one year to the next, the program director reserves the right to decline requests for individual study. Individual study courses in the AFDS Program will typically be one semester in duration. Because students must enroll for individual studies by the end of the seventh class day of each semester, they should begin discussion of the proposed individual study preferably the semester before, so that there is time to devise the proposal and seek departmental approval before the registrar's deadline. An IS counts toward credit for the AFDS concentration but no student may take more than two IS courses toward satisfaction of the curriculum requirements for the concentration. This interdisciplinary course does not count toward the completion of any diversification requirement.

As key variables in general circulation models, precipitation and moisture in four leading models from CMIP5 (phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) are analyzed, with a focus on four tropical oceanic regions. It is found that precipitation in these models is overestimated in most areas. However, moisture bias has large intermodel differences. The model biases in precipitation and moisture are further examined in conjunction with large-scale circulation by regime-sorting analysis. Results show that all models consistently overestimate the frequency of occurrence of strong upward motion regimes and peak descending regimes of 500-hPa vertical velocity JCLI-D-17-0718.1 regime, models produce too much precipitation compared to observation and reanalysis. But for moisture, their biases differ from model to model and also from level to level. Furthermore, error causes are revealed through decomposing contribution biases into dynamic and thermodynamic components. For precipitation, the contribution errors in strong upward motion regimes are attributed to the overly frequent . In the weak upward motion regime, the biases in the dependence of precipitation on probability density function (PDF) make comparable contributions, but often of opposite signs. On the other hand, the biases in column-integrated water vapor contribution are mainly due to errors in the frequency of occurrence of , while thermodynamic components contribute little. These findings suggest that errors in the frequency of occurrence are a significant cause of biases in the precipitation and moisture simulation.

Bhale Manchi Roju, directed by T. Sriram Aditya, has become the talk of the town ever since its trailer was unveiled. Starring Sudheer Babu and Wamiqa Gabbi, the movie is being applauded in film circles for its stylish trailer which has quirky dialogues and rich visuals.
Sriram, who is just 26 years old and used to make short films, spoke to a leading newspaper saying, "The direction department has many debutants including four youngsters who just finished engineering and a few who quit their jobs to join the team. I had no experience in the industry and I was looking for fresh ideas and a group that was open to something new. The whole team has youngsters aged 26 or below, so they are very energetic."
Vijay and Shashi have produced the film under their 70mm Entertainments banner. Young composer Sunny MR has scored the music. Shamdat of Vishwaroopam 2 and Uttama Villain fame is the cinematographer.

Getting the Flood Zone Information You Need
Whether you own or rent a residential or commercial building in the City, you should know what flood zone you are in, your property's elevation, and what types of insurance are required for it.
Look Up Your FEMA Flood Zone
For general information about Flood Zones, you can visit the FEMA website.
| Learn About the Latest Updates to the FEMA Flood Maps
FEMA has completed the first comprehensive review and update of flood zones throughout Broward County in 14 years, using a new "vertical datum," that enables consistent comparisons of land and water elevations across the nation. Flood maps need to be reviewed periodically due to the dynamic nature of flood hazard conditions, the availability of updated elevation data, improved technology for identifying flood hazards and to account for developments that can affect flood zone boundaries. The new flood maps help community officials and citizens be better prepared for flood-related disasters by providing an official depiction of flood hazards for Fort Lauderdale and the rest of Broward County. The most recent maps went into effective in August 2014. See the FEMA Flood Zone Map. FEMA offers a fact sheet and overview of the coming changes. The agency also offers a wide variety of brochures on special topics and in other languages. Scroll to the bottom of this page for a list of recommended brochures.
| Get More Information About How the Maps Affect South Florida and Broward County
Get additional news about FEMA Map updates by visiting Broward County's Environmental Engineering & Licensing webpages. Here you will also see information about South Florida Water Management District's efforts to achieve accreditation of the East Coast Protective Levee, which will impact FEMA's modernization of Broward County's flood zone maps.

| Learn about the National Flood Insurance Program Discount
To help residents save money on their flood insurance premiums, the City of Fort Lauderdale participates in NFIP's voluntary Community Rating System (CRS), which recognizes communities whose efforts go beyond the NFIP's minimum standards. As part of the CRS program, the City implements and promotes public information and floodplain management activities regarding flood hazards, flood insurance, and ways to reduce flood damage. In exchange, the NFIP offers homeowners a discount on flood insurance premiums each year, which currently reflects a 20% savings for Fort Lauderdale residents.

Newly launched mobile company Tru offers you numbers for multiple countries on a single prepaid SIM, potentially saving you a fortune on roaming charges and insane data charges. However, the structure of the plans is quite complex, and whether you'll save money might depend a lot on your usage habits.
Pay attention, because this gets a bit tricky. The Tru SIM itself costs $29.95 (you can buy it from the company web site, as well as duty-free on Qantas flights). That include a $15 monthly membership fee — which you have to pay in any month where you want access to discounted rates — and $15 worth of credit. The service uses Optus' local network, which isn't the absolute best coverage option you could have but fine provided you know it works where you need to go. Calls within Australia cost 25 cents a minute, and the same price applies to text messages. There's no expiry on credit, but if your phone has no credit you'll be charged $3 a month after 90 days has passed. You can top up credit online or through the phone.
The potentially clever bit is that as well as having an Australian number, you can also have either a US or UK number on the same SIM. (The UK network is provided by Vodafone; the US uses a number of networks.) That means that if you're in those countries, other people can ring you on a local number, rather than your Australian number — saving them extra expenses and you roaming charges on incoming calls. For each additional number, you'll pay $8 a month.
The local rates for calls in the UK and US are pretty good too, but the big attraction is the member data rates: $0.15 per MB in the UK, and $0.35 per MB in the US. That's a lot cheaper than casual data roaming rates for your own phone, which can be ruinously expensive, and makes Tru worth considering if you want some basic data access on your phone while in the US or UK.
If you don't pay that monthly membership and just use your phone in Australia, the rates go up to what True calls 'standard' levels. Calls to local landlines and mobiles cost 50 cents a minute — which is slightly pricey compared to most local providers, though there's no flagfall — and data rates go up massively from 10 cents a megabyte to $2.09 a megabyte. That means if you used 7MB of data on your phone in the month, membership would work out cheaper. Weirdly, local text messages get cheaper (17 cents a minute) on the standard plan. Those rates aren't an outright rip-off, but there's ways you could potentially do better on Optus or other networks, depending on your usage habits.
Tru is aiming to expand into 20 countries by the end of the year, with Hong Kong, Spain and the Netherlands due "shortly", and New Zealand also high on the list. You'll be able to add numbers in those countries, though having multiple countries month after month would get pricey. (Tru also has postpaid plans aimed at business users, but we won't get into those right now.)
For a one-off visit to the UK in particular, I can't help thinking you might do better just buying a cheap local SIM yourself — yes, you'll have to swap it into your phone, but the pricing structure will be more obvious, and Tru isn't so remarkably cheap that it would necessarily represent a good local deal as your single phone. For the US, it's much more appealing, given that buying a prepaid SIM is tricky and sometimes costly. Even then, I'm not sure I'd want it as my main local phone, but it's likely to be cheaper (and less hassle) than any alternative. Check out the rates on the site below, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Kris Humphries has a fool for a lawyer. We already knew his lawyer had a fool for a client.
Yes, fan of television attorney cases, Kris Humphries has hired himself to represent himself in his divorce suit against Kim Kardashian. Nobody's fool, Ms Kardashian has hired one of the most deadly sharks in the California law system to protect her reputation against fraud, annulment, calculated auction sales, and duping basketball players.
Humphries now sees himself on par with William Shatner as Denny Crane in Boston Legal.
When Kendrick Perkins fired his attorney and decided to represent himself in a piddling misdemeanor case, we could laugh. Perk saw himself as Perry Mason and Rajon Rondo would sit by his side, like Della Street.
Kris Humphries may sit alone in the dock. In fact, we presume anyone who knows him will run the other way. Such dumbness could rub off.
Why did Kris Humphries throw the his brain out the window? He wanted an annulment.
Athletes like Kris know they can do anything. They've been treated like footloose and fancy-free hotshots since their first athletic feat.
No wonder Kris thinks being a lawyer does not require years of schooling and passing the bar exam. We recall movie hero Longfellow Deeds once represented himself at a sanity hearing-which disproved his point. That was the movies. This is reality TV where Shark Week and Divorce Court use the same plot.
Kris Humphries is determined to end up on America's Biggest Loser and Fear Factor. He wants so bad to be an American Idol, he has skipped the Bachelor and gone straight to RuPaul's Drag Race.
If you can't keep up with the Kardashians, you are definitely the Deadliest Catch, and Kim and sisters will play Top Chef when they cook the goose of Kris Humphries.

Companies should help consumers with data concerns, says watchdog
Which? said a lack of knowledge about data among consumers had led to suspicion and doubt over useful innovations
Companies and organisations should help consumers better understand how their data is being collected and used, according to a consumer group.
Which? said consumers were too often unaware of how data use affects their lives, leading to suspicion and doubt over potentially useful innovations.
The watchdog wants Government, regulators, businesses and other consumer groups to join together to ensure people are informed about how their data has influenced offers they receive or decisions made about them.
How do you feel about how your data is being used online and your levels of control about where it could end up?— Which? (@WhichUK) June 5, 2018
Liberal, Tolerant, Concerned, Anxious?
Take our quiz to find out what kind of data user you are→ https://t.co/JtAPoH5wvP#ControlAltOrDelete
It has called for the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to urgently carry out a market study of the digital advertising industry to establish if Facebook and Google's market power could raise prices for advertisers – leading to a risk of goods and services becoming more expensive as a result.
It says it is also time for a "thorough review" of how data is collected, shared and sold in cyberspace, calling for this to be a priority for the Government's new Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation as soon as it is established.
Alex Neill, Which? managing director of home products and services, said: "It is far from clear that we can trust Google, Facebook and other companies to act as responsible custodians of our data.
"Most ordinary people have a poor understanding of how their data is collected, shared and sold and it is unclear whether the people supposedly in power across Westminster, Whitehall and company boardrooms have a grip on it.
"Facebook, Google and the other tech giants have been able to take advantage of this knowledge gap to rake in data – and therefore profits – on an unprecedented scale.
"We believe the competition regulator must urgently examine how targeted ads affect consumers and whether Facebook and Google's substantial power in the digital ad market in particular could have knock-on effects on advertisers that lead to consumers paying more."
A CMA spokesman said: "We are very aware of the growing interest in and scrutiny of how people's data is used online.
"We've already empowered people to use their own data in finding the best deal through Open Banking, and are actively considering whether to take further action regarding how people's data is used by big tech firms."
Steve Wood, deputy commissioner of policy at the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), said: "This research is a timely and valuable contribution to the debate on data protection, privacy and the digital economy.
"As consumers, sharing data safely and efficiently can make our lives easier, but that digital trail is valuable so it's important that it stays safe and is only used in ways that we would expect and can control.
"Our new Technology Strategy identifies three priorities: artificial intelligence, cyber security and cross device tracking. These priorities will drive the ICO's policy, research, education and enforcement work over the next two years."

KTOO reports that a password-protected laptop that held more than 1,000 donors' financial information was stolen last week from the Anchorage, Alaska office of Byron Mallott's gubernatorial campaign (h/t DataBreaches.net).
"What we believe may have happened was the back door had not latched properly," campaign advisor Bruce Botelho told KTOO. "Someone had come in through the back door while volunteers were working in the front public area of the campaign and it was removed."
The laptop contained PDF copies of checks and credit card information, including donors' names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, occupations, employers' names, and bank account or credit card details.
All those affected are being notified by email, and are being advised to monitor their financial accounts and credit reports for any suspicious activity and to consider placing security freezes on their credit files.

NLMK Group, an international steel producer with operations in Russia, Europe and the USA, is opening NLMK Europe's Project Office, a new division for integrated planning and implementation of investment programs at the group's European facilities.
Konstantin Lagutin, NLMK Group's VP for Investment Projects, said: "The new project office will allow us to integrate our European businesses into the unified corporate system, in order to manage NLMK Group's investment activities whilst increasing the efficiency of project elaboration, development and implementation. This will radically improve the interaction between Russian and foreign assets and significantly reduce the time it takes to shape investment ideas, hone them and eventually put them into practice".
The project office staff will manage investment programs, provide guidance and practical support to project managers and working groups, generalize the experience, and distribute the best project management practices.
Vincent Wuyckens, who previously held the position of NLMK Europe Strip Technical Director, has been appointed Director of the project office.
To date there are more than 200 investment projects at the stage of development or implementation at NLMK Group's European facilities. For instance, NLMK Europe Strip is in the final stage of its ultra-heavy coil processing project; it is also looking into a waste heat recovery project for its reheating furnaces. NLMK Clabecq, a part of NLMK Europe Plate Division, is undertaking a project on shearing line automation and plate surface quality control; while NLMK Dansteel is getting ready to execute a range of projects aimed at improving the productivity of the rolling line. In the near future, the Project Office is to participate in the shaping of a 5-year development program as part of the company's new strategic cycle. (NLMK/Ukrainian metal)

Health Insurance
Individual Health Insurance and Group Health Insurance
Health Insurance
This product has complex features that can create serious confusion among policy holders.
There are lots of terminologies and features that you may not understand until you get hospitalized.
Feel free to read all the policy yourself but experienced insurance consultants that represent strong carriers can guide. There are different terminologies like deductible and out pocket that are different from one carrier to another. For instance, one carrier out pocket may include the deductible and another carrier may not include, therefore you have double out of pocket.
Individual or Family Health Insurance Policies
Individual or family health insurance policies are fully underwritten insurances (risk evaluated) by a company. The policy may have a rate up (extra premium due to a person's health conditions, exclusions (pre-existing conditions) and the insurer may decline certain members. As of March 23, 2010, the new Health Reform law prohibits insurers from declining coverage to children under 19. However, the insurer can still charge an increased premium for children with health conditions.
Policies usually includes different benefits that may be subject to co pays, used for doctors or other outpatient visits; or deductibles for emergency/hospitalization. Sometimes a coinsurance is applied as well, so your out of pocket costs may be higher.
Temporary Insurance or "Short Term" Insurances
Temporary insurance or "short term" insurance guarantees coverage immediately for US citizen or non us citizen residing in the USA. The term of this type of policy typically ranges from one month to 22 months. Coverage excludes pre-existing conditions.
Group Insurance
Group Insurance policies are usually for employees of small businesses business or corporations that are willing to provide coverage for their employees. The group insurance is guaranteed although some restrictions may apply. Group insurance can be set up at the state level or multi-state level. In other words, the policy may cover employees of the company working in different states. Group insurance requires having UCT6 and information about the employees.
International insurance is for foreign residents living overseas (not for US citizens). It is very popular in Latin America. Travel Insurance may include medical coverage for people traveling. When purchasing this insurance, check carefully to see if medical evacuation is included.
Insurance is complex but we will work with you to ensure that you know your options and provide a solution for your needs.
At Insurance Consultants International we have a variety of affordable heath insurance plans and we will assist you finding the one that fits your family's needs!

Knowledge Unlatched (KU) is delighted to announce the unlatching* of 78 new
titles. These titles have been made Open Access through the support of both
individual libraries and library consortia from across the globe.
This brings the total to over 100 titles now available as Open Access since 2014,
when KU celebrated the success of its Pilot Collection with 28 Humanities and Social
Sciences monographs from 13 publishers being unlatched by nearly 300 libraries
Now these 78 new books from 26 publishers (including the original 13 participants)
have been successfully unlatched by a similar number of libraries in 21 countries
along with support from a number of library consortia, who together raised over $1
million. The books are being loaded onto the OAPEN and HathiTrust platforms,
where they will be available for free as fully downloadable PDFs.
The Humanities and Social Sciences titles cover five subject areas (Anthropology,
History, Literature, Media and Communications, and Politics):
The second round of KU allowed libraries to choose from subject packages as well
as publisher packages. It also introduced consortium participation into the
programme. Further plans for scaling up and expanding KU will be announced soon.
KU Founder Frances Pinter said, Id like to thank the library community that have yet
again demonstrated their tremendous support for KU. Libraries are demonstrating
that they can lower the cost of books by converting their acquisitions budget into a
shared cost of publishing model. Libraries are now helping to move KU from a proofof-
concept project to a fully sustainable operation by which libraries and publishers
can work together to achieve Open Access for books.
KU would like to thank its partners for their support in making the Round 2 collection
possible: CLOCKSS, HathiTrust, Jisc Collections, LYRASIS, OAPEN and Portico.
Key support from Curtin University, Queensland University of Technology, The
University of Melbourne and The University of Western Australia, as well as The Big
Innovation Centre, British Library Trust and Open Society Foundation also proved
Libraries can register their interest in receiving information for the next rounds of
Knowledge Unlatched at http://collections.knowledgeunlatched.org/pre-register/.
Publishers wishing to know more about offering books to libraries via Knowledge
Unlatched should contact email@example.com.

In the backyard of his host, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the U.N.'s Ralph Bunche got some valuable pointers on the art of horseshoe pitching (see cut). In Berkeley to deliver a commencement address at the University of California, Bunche was ordered into a pair of sneakers by the admiral. As the backyard game progressed, Nimitz said: "Keep your arm straight at the elbowless tiring, more accurate." Then, plopping a perfect ringer, the admiral advised his puffing house guest: "Best exercise in the world for sedentary people."

Members of Saudi Arabia's royal family have apparently learned nothing from their cousin's authoritarian tendencies. To wit, Saudi authorities on Saturday detained 11 princes after they gathered at a royal palace in Riyadh to protest austerity measures imposed by their cousin and the state's de facto leader: Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, aka MbS.
Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman
As part of the latest wave of cutbacks forced by still-low oil prices, bin Salman suspended payment of royals' utility bills. The decision triggered a backlash among the royals who weren't prosecuted during the Crown Prince's "corruption crackdown"/cash grab from late last year, and they swiftly assembled at the Qasr a-Hokm, a historic royal palace, to demand the cancellation of a royal decree that stopped state payment of water and electricity bills for royal family members. The move was a rare act of defiance against the Saudi crown, per Reuters. They were also demanding compensation for a death sentence issued against a relative, local media reported.
In light of recent "events" in Saudi Arabia, it was a rather poor decision.
The identities of the princes taken into custody have not been released. However, the leader of the group has been identified by the initials S.A.S."Everybody is equal before the law and anyone who does not implement regulations and instructions will be held accountable, no matter who he is," a local media website added.
Late last year, MbS imprisoned dozens of royals at the Riyadh Ritz Carlton until they agreed to fork over substantial chunks of their wealth in exchange for their freedom. The shakedown resulted in one former general being tortured to death after refusing to give in to MbS's remunerative demands – the princes spoke up, and were promptly taken into custody.
"They were informed of the error of their demands, but they refused to leave Qasr al-Hokm," an unnamed local official told local media. "A royal order was issued to the royal guards … to intervene and they were detained and put into al-Hayer prison in preparation to put them on trial."
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, has introduced reforms that included cutting subsidies, introducing value added tax (VAT) and cutting perks to royal family members to try to cope with a drop in crude prices that has led to a massive budget deficit.
OPEC's biggest oil producer said its gross domestic product shrank 0.5% in 2017 due to a drop in crude production, as part of the 2016 Vienna production-cut agreement, but mostly due to lower oil prices.
The last time the Saudi economy contracted was in 2009, when GDP fell 2.1% after the global financial crisis sent oil prices crashing. Riyadh also posted a higher-than-expected budget deficit in 2017 and forecast another shortfall next year for the fifth year in a row due to the decline in oil revenues. The finance ministry said it estimates a budget deficit of $52 billion for 2018.
Some more details from the recently released budget courtesy:
- Revenues in 2018 were estimated to be 783 billion riyals ($208.8 billion), up 13% on the previous year's projections.
- Actual revenues for the current fiscal year rose by a healthy 34 percent compared with 2016 to $185.6 billion due a sharp increase in both oil and non-oil revenues.
- Actual non-oil revenues collected in 2017 reached 256 billion riyals ($68.3 billion), a 38 percent rise on the previous year, reflecting the impact of hiking prices and imposing fees.
- Total spending includes 83 billion riyals from the sovereign wealth fund and 50 billion riyals from national development funds, in addition to the 978 billion riyals allocated in the 2018 budget
- Capital spending will increase by more than 13 percent
- The economy is expected to grow 2.7 percent next year after contracting 0.5 percent in 2017
- Inflation is expected to reach 5.7 percent from a negative rate at the end of 2017
- The government expects to spend 32 billion riyals in 2018 on a cash-transfer program designed to protect middle- and lower-income Saudi families from the planned increase in fuel and electricity prices
- Non-oil revenue in 2018 is expected to rise to 291 billion riyals versus 256 billion riyals this year
- Achieving the fiscal balance goal was delayed to 2023 from an initial target of 2019
Even after seizing hundreds of billions of dollars from the royal family, MbS will need the estimated $1 trillion or more that the Kingdom stands to raise during an offering of Saudi Aramco's shares, which is expected later this year – though the kingdom still needs to choose a venue for the offering.

Driver storrows his truck but good
Chris Ruker came across this ultimate example of Storrowing at the Fenway exit around 1:45 p.m. Note that the truck not only got storrowed, it flipped over and was completely destroyed.
Do you like how UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!
To save time...
I'll ask the inevitable Storrowing question, "how'd they manage to get this far?".
(Its gonna be really hard to beat this one, returning students take note!)
clearance 10' 6" in the right lane
& less if you are in the left lane because of the slope of the overhead outbound ramp. Guessing the driver got on SB outbound at Berkeley St
time to retire the trophy
And the judges say...
5.9... 5.8... 5.9... 5.9... awww... only a 5.6 from the Russian judge, but this should still take first place.
Slight deduction
They didn't fully complete the can opener. Pleats are top notch, but some of the roof is still attached.
Major style points for the roll-over.
Storragard !
The mythical land where trucks go to die
I give that a 9.7/10
I give that a 9.7/10
My god..how fucking stupid can people get? I've seen pics of trucks getting "storrowed" due to their drivers' stupidity, but this one absolutely takes the cake!
I hope the driver was ok, but...
... give'em extra points for making it roll over!

CanSkaters and STARSkaters who want to challenge their figure skating skills and show potential as competitive skaters can participate in the competitive program.
What is CompetitiveSkate?
The Competitive Test Program is a testing program for skaters in singles, pairs and dance wishing to compete in qualifying events within Skate Canada. Skaters take tests specific to the discipline (Singles, Pairs and Dance) in which they wish to compete. A skater or team may begin testing at the level at which they wish to compete (there are no test pre-requisites)
It's more than just skating!
Skaters enrolled in CompetitiveSkate learn a variety of life skills as they progress up the competitive ladder. These include goal setting, focus, ability to deal with success/failure, time management and principles of fair play and sportsmanship. In addition to the life skill benefits, skaters in this program receive:
- access to provincial and national funding programs (as applicable)
- the opportunity to be selected to Skate Canada's National Team, Junior National Team, or Synchronized Skating National Team
- the opportunity to compete at BMO Sectional, Challenge, Junior Nationals and/or Canadian Championships
- opportunity and potential to be selected to represent Canada internationally at one of more than 30 competitions each year
- access to sport science services
If I Participate in the Competitive Program, is that All I Can Do?
No! Many skaters who compete in the qualifying event structure also take tests in Skate Canada's STARSkate Program or participate on Synchronized Skating teams. The only events that you may not be able to compete in are club, Interclub and National STARSkate events, some which restrict entry of skaters who have competed in the qualifying event system.
The Qualifying Event structure
There are several opportunities throughout the season for skaters to participate in competitive events.
The Skate Canada Competitive Program offers nationally standardized competitions to competitive skaters. These events are the stepping stones to other Skate Canada programs such as the developmental team, Junior and Senior National Teams and the World and Olympic teams. Skaters competing in the qualifying event structure can do so at the Juvenile, Pre-Novice, Novice, Junior and Senior levels in Singles, Pairs and Dance.
BMO Sectional Skating Championships
The 13 BMO Sectional Skating Championships are the first of the Skate Canada qualifying competitions. Skaters can compete in events from Juvenile to Senior. Those who finish in the top four places in the Pre-Novice, Novice and Junior events are eligible to compete at the BMO Canadian Qualifying Event (Eastern or Western). Juvenile champions qualify automatically for the BMO Junior Nationals and the top four Senior skaters qualify for the BMO Canadian Championships. Each of the 13 Sectional events takes place in November.
BMO Canadian Qualifying Events - Eastern and Western
There are two Canadian Qualifying Events held each year - Eastern and Western. The Western event includes British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northern Ontario and Western Ontario. The Eastern event includes Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. These events are held in December.
Junior skaters qualify through these events for the BMO Canadian Championships and Pre-Novice and Novice skaters qualify for the BMO Junior Nationals.
BMO Canadian Championships
The BMO Canadian Championships are held every January in a different city. Competition is offered in singles, pair and ice dancing at the Junior and Senior levels. The Fours event is also offered.
Junior competitors qualify for this national event through the Canadian Qualifying Events, while Senior skaters qualify through their respective Sectional championship. Skaters who are representing Canada at international events at the time of the Sectional or Qualifying Event are granted a "bye" to the Canadian event. In addition, skaters placing in the top three at the previous national championship at the Senior level, are granted a "bye" to the event.
After completion of the Championships, the Skate Canada Board of Directors selects the teams that will represent Canada at the ISU Junior World and World Figure Skating Championships as well as the ISU Four Continents team. Results from this event are also used to help determine what skaters will be on the Junior National and National teams.
BMO Junior Nationals
Juvenile, Pre-Novice and Novice skaters compete at this national level event. It is typically held in January of each year, and is hosted by a different city. The first-place finishers from the Juvenile category of BMO Sectional Skating Championships and the top four Pre-Novice and Novice skaters from the BMO Qualifying Events (Eastern and Western) are eligible to compete. The age of the competitors ranges from 10 - 17 years of age.
Where Do I Go From Here?
There are a number of options once a skater decides that the Competitive Program may not be the Program for them. Skaters may choose to enter Skate Canada's STARSkate Program or participate on a Synchronized Skating team. Others who are leaving the Competitive Program to pursue other interests may be interested in becoming coaches, evaluators, judges or accountants. Others may choose to participate on a varsity skating team (if offered), or continue to skate and compete as an adult member of the Association.
