Product Description:
This Kanchipuram saree with Silk Mark of quality comes to you directly from weavers of Kanchipuram. The pure silk kanchipuram saree is hand woven with natural silk threads and silver threads, and pure vegetable colours add a unique luster to this traditional saree. The high thread count of silk fabric gives a sturdy and yet smooth and cool feel to the wearer. This lustrous and elegant Cream kanchivaram silk saree with attractive golden zari borders, with the pallu that is interwoven with tasteful designer work, is an ideal wear for all festive occasions in your life.
It was during the reign of Krishna-Deva Raya, when the famous weaving communities of Andhra Pradesh, the Devangas and Saligars, migrated to Kanchipuram. Thus, occurred the historical migration of the entire silk industry in the 15th century, to this city. The silk that is obtained from the sericulture of the mulberry worm is finely converted to produce the Kanjipuram silk. Kanchipuram sarees were the favourites of the royalties of the times and has evolved with times to deliver contemporary designs.

Radical politics are emerging from the underground to the Martin Luther King Labor Center at the corner of Danny Thomas and Beale for a weekend of workshops on immigration in the South and the socialist-feminist decision-making process among other topics.
The three-day Socialist Party USA organizing conference will draw socialists from other cities as well as Memphians interested in social justice and activism. The Memphis local, which formed in October 2008, is currently one of the most active chapters of the national party, which led to Memphis being chosen to host this year's conference.
"This is our way to get other folks to support Memphis, because they've been doing such great work," said Greg Pason, the party's national secretary.
The local branch applied to host the conference last November and began planning in January when they were alerted they won the position. Other cities in the running were Detroit, San Francisco, and New York.
The conference workshops range from an international socialist perspective to a session on organizing in the South. Local artists are presenting on the use of protest art as a revolutionary force throughout history, including murals from Haiti and Vietnam, and how to use public spaces as a platform for social change.
Michele Nyberg, co-chair of the Memphis Socialist Party, said organizing at a grassroots level in the South is unique, and the local hopes to share that through this conference.
"Memphis is historically more in need of organizing than some other cities because of the history here and the fact that there is so much civil rights history that needs to be recognized," she said.
The two keynote speakers were both involved in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Elmore Nickleberry is a sanitation worker who went on strike and marched with Martin Luther King Jr. during the 1968 protests. Coby Smith is grassroots activist and organizer known for his involvement in the black power group the Invaders.
Even people who don't consider themselves radically minded would still enjoy the speakers, Nyberg said. The speakers' presentations are free and open to the public on Saturday, July 28th from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Labor Center.
"We are socialists, but we understand politics outside of the party as long as they don't move too far from our platform," Nyberg said.
What is a socialist? According the party's platform on the website, "We are committed to the transformation of capitalism through the creation of a democratic socialist society based on compassion, empathy, and respect as well as the development of new social structures."
The party's 2012 presidential candidate, Stewart Alexander, is scheduled to be in attendance.
The conference will also feature two nights of music. On Friday night, NOTS and Moving Finger are playing at Otherlands Coffee Bar, and on Saturday night, Michael Peery of Magic Kids and Naan Violence are playing at Mulan Bistro.

Hi there, I'm currently looking at Allianz Global and IM Global as a health insurance for long-term travel in Asia. Any experiences with those two or are there better options for European residents?
Hi Patrick! Are those full health coverage? meaning they will substitute local health systems? I say this because I've registered with World Nomads for example, which is quite common among travelers too.
Hey, thanks! I was about to purchase the World Nomads insurance, but they say before you buy: "I understand, this policy is to be used for travel purposes and is not a substitute for international private medical insurance". Most of the important things are covered by Allianz or IM Global, so I'm wondering why I should pay international private health and travel insurance.
Yes, so as far as I know Allianz and IM Global are insurance alternatives for local health systems, While World Nomads will work on top of local health including transferring you back home.
Great, thanks!

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well worn path; and that will make all the difference.
Wow. Those words are so true. That quote is from the late, great, amazingly great, Steve Jobs. What a motivator. Not only did he make the RADDEST computers, phones, what have you, on the planet, with the most efficient processing features that last forever, but he was smart. He basically came form nothing, and then was even kicked out of his own company for a little while, but overcame all of it, to achieve greatness. There are so many amazing things he has said, you should check some of his other quotes out.
This quote was sent to me at the perfect time. I've been really struggling with not being in control of my future. In searching for internship placement, a new apartment, figuring out how I will still work and intern and just determining how to get through my last year of graduate school, I've been so focused on that, and my future, that I haven't taken not only time for myself, but time to enjoy the things I love to do again. I've been so overwhelmed by making others happy, that I have forgotten about myself. So it's nice to know that not all the dots are connecting now, but they will. It's all about faith. Faith and Grace, as my Auntie Jeannie would put it….and a little chocolate and wine…. I mean those two never hurt!
So. In terms of chocolate, I have TWO cookie recipes for you, but the first one, chocolate whoopie pies, aren't done yet. I still need to frost them. It's been SUCH a long time since I have posted a sweet recipe! It's amazing how much I don't bake anymore. Not only is is extremely challenging to bake gluten free, but there are so many flops! I have flopped so many recipes, what a waste! I have cut sugar out, a lot, so it's rare I want something sweet! Which is HUGE since my family calls me "the Cupcake Queen." Haha! I went to a gluten free bakery the other day and ordered a lemon tart. AMAZING. BUT, I ate like two bites and was done! One small step for Natalie, a huge step for my waistline!
- 1/2 cup butter, melted or coconut oil (I uses coconut oil, melted)
- 1/2 cup sugar (I used organic cane sugar)
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 4 eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix coconut oil or butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla (I used vanilla bean paste, the link to an AMAZING homemade vanilla company is below), eggs, and salt together. Then add your coconut flour and mix really well. You can do all of this with a hand mixer if you'd like. Next take a wooden spoon and add all of your chocolate chips. I used the mini ones from the bulk department at Whole Foods.
Next take your dough and roll it into about golf ball sized dough balls. These cookies do not spread, so as you put them on your cookies sheet, line it with a silpat or parchment paper, they can be fairly close. Then smash them down with your hand. Place them in the oven and after about 5 minutes, take your spatula and smash them down a bit further. This is a very dense dough. Let them cook until you can see that the edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool and enjoy!

A pedestrian bridge connecting a train station with a road collapsed in Mumbai on Thursday, killing at least five people and injuring more than 30, police said.
Police officer Praveen Satpal said 36 injured people were hospitalized, some in serious condition. Some motorists who were driving under the bridge when it collapsed were among the injured, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
An audit of the bridge's safety was carried out last year, said Maharashtra state Education Minister Vinod Tawde. He told reporters that some minor damage was detected and had not been repaired before the collapse of the bridge.
Thousands of commuters have used the 39-year-old bridge daily to reach Mumbai's bustling Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus railway station.
Maharashtra state's top elected leader, Devendra Fadanavis, ordered an inquiry into the collapse of the structure.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India tweeted that the government was offering all possible assistance to the victims of the collapse and he was, "deeply anguished by the loss of lives."
In 2017, a stampede broke out on a crowded pedestrian bridge connecting two railway stations in Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital, killing at least 22 people and injuring 32.
India's public infrastructure projects are substandard and collapse often in part because of corruption that leads to the construction of weak structure foundations and poor maintenance.
Rescuers ended their search operation at the collapsed bridge about two hours after it fell, Mr. Satpal said, adding that authorities were sure there was no one trapped because the rubble had been cleared away.

England, 31st August 1939: the world is on the brink of war. As Hitler prepares to invade Poland, thousands of children are evacuated from London to escape the impending Blitz. Torn from her mother, eight-year-old Anna Sands is relocated with other children to a large Yorkshire estate which has been opened up to evacuees by Thomas and Elizabeth Ashton, an enigmatic childless couple. Soon Anna gets drawn into their unhappy relationship, seeing things that are not meant for her eyes – and finding herself part-witness and part-accomplice to a love affair, with tragic consequences. A story of love, loss and complicated loyalties, combining a sweeping narrative with subtle psychological observation.
This book was given to me to read by a co-worker, and as our reading tastes are usually similar I looked forward to reading this debut novel from this Author. I will come straight out now and say the only reason this book received the two thumbs it did is because it is located in my home county of Yorkshire, England.
However, if you like books with multiple characters, each with their own separate plot and agenda, this may be the book for you. I found the profusion of characters and plots became rather confusing after a while, and this nearly resulted in my consigning it to my empty 'did not finish' pile. The reason it did not end up there was the hope I held that when I turned the next page the development of the main protagonist would start and the storyline proper would then get underway. Unfortunately this was not to be the case and I'm not sure if it is the sheer number of characters that prevented this, or sympathy for the Author that they may have been a little unsure of themselves in this area of their writing. I feel that if the Author had pared down the amount of characters in the novel, and concentrated some of that energy into the development of the key ones, this would have become a much better, if not compelling, read.
What a disappointment, I was expecting a book based around the evacuees from the London Blitz and the way it affected them both mentally and physically; I was expecting maybe something more along the lines of 'Good Night, Mr. Tom', but received a rehashing of parts of 'The Go-Between' and 'Atonement' without any of the plot development or characters that would truly make it worth the time I invested in reading this. I feel that an outstanding editor would have been able to point out these issues to the Author, and with gentle guidance been able to help them turn this into a fresh perspective on love and happiness.
The ending of this book was the final nail in the coffin for me; most of the novel takes place during World War II, and when I say most it is probably about 75% of the book, then in the final 25% the Author suddenly felt the need to cram sixty years into about 50 pages; no explanation or tie in to the rest of the book, just 'here it is'. In this particular case this is one of those books that would have been better off left with an open-ending without the Author feeling the need to tie everything up neatly.
Unfortunately I don't feel I could recommend this book to any one group of readers, but it may be something that book clubs would enjoy dissecting at their meetings.


text: So there is the faintest chill in the air and I don't feel the overpowering need to blast the AC every time I get in my car, which means that the autumnal season has finally descended upon Los Angeles! Or at least it's as autumnal as it gets here in LALA Land, which still keeps the thermometer above 66 degrees. But even still, I feel festive and want to drape myself in cozy sweaters and skirts and tights and cute boots all in shades of orange, brown and taupe. I have put the fall wreath on the door, thus making said season change official. Happy Fall!

Wearable activity trackers may actually demotivate young people from exercising – the opposite of what fitness hardware makers would like you to believe.
Researchers from Brunel University and the University of Birmingham carried out an eight-week study with 84 teens – 44 girls and 40 boys – aged 13-14. For the study, the teens were given a FitBit Charge to see how their physical activity levels and motivation to exercise differed when they had they were using the devices.
Through surveys and focus groups conducted before and after the eight-week period, it was found that participants felt less confident about their competence at exercising, less connected to their peers, and felt less like they had a choice about how to engage in physical activity. This is despite them being more active in the first few weeks, before becoming 'bored' of the FitBit in the later weeks.
The FitBit app, being designed to encourage competition and interaction among peers, actually resulted in participants feeling peer-pressure to achieve goals and made them feel guilt of other negative feelings when they failed to match up to their peers. Rather than being motivated by competition, the pressure of it prevented them from partaking in enjoyable exercise.
"Our data suggests that peer-comparison was a key factor in undermining levels of competence and autonomous motivation. There wasn't a desire for our participants to be more active for themselves and their own goals, or for fun, it was simply because they wanted to beat their mates. Self-determined forms of motivation are much better in encouraging people to engage in a particular behaviour," said researcher Dr Charlotte Kerner.
"Additionally, the pre-defined daily target encouraged by FitBit is 10,000 steps. It's not a personalised target and our results show that many participants found it undermining. They said it was unfair, especially if you lacked the ability to achieve those targets.
"They strived to achieve it but would often fall short. That made them feel really bad about themselves, and put them off exercise. The app had a negative influence on their perceptions of what being competent at activity means because these pre-defined targets were not relevant to individual needs."
Despite the negative findings of the study, the researchers suggest that digital technology could still play a part in encouraging young people to take part in exercise. However, they note that this technology would have to be used with the support and education of people like PE teachers.

text: Sunday, July 9, 1888 I have just returned from a weeks visit in the Kaatskills. Calvert, Mary, Sara and I were invited by Sam Coykendall for the week of July 4th to the Bear and Fox Inn which is a part of the scheme of the Hotel and Cottage Co of which Thurber, Sam, Mr. Cornell and the Wheelers are carrying out back of Tannersville. We went on Tuesday, Sam having sent us passes, intending to return on Thursday. Major Wilkinson and his wife, Weir & wife and his two daughters, Wheeler, Thurber, Judge Schummaker & wife, Lily [?], Bishop Potters two daughters and many others went up on the train with us. Carriages met us at Tannersville and we were driven to the Inn which is nicely placed under the East side of Parker Mountain. We were lodged in the pretty cottages to the north of the hotel. The night of the 4th all the country people were invited to a dance and there were fireworks. Calvert came away on the 5th. Mary and Sara on the 6th and Weir and his family and I at the urgent solicitation of Mrs Wheeler remained until today. We have had a pleasant time and every thing has been done to entertain us hospitably. Weir and I each painted a picture on the walls in the dining room of the hotel. I have tried to enjoy myself and to be content but I confess to a heavy hearted feeling a part of the time. I could not help contrasting these with the days when I used to go there with Gertrude and Gifford and all our old friends. I doubt if I could stay there now alone and if Weir had not remained there I could not have staid. We met many pleasant people. The Misss Miller of Newark, Mr Leavitt & wife and her sister Miss Kuth with her father and brother, Dr & Mrs. Guernsey and Miss Guernsey. Mrs Van Renssalaer and her son and her sister Miss Griswold were also there and Miss Emma Thursly and her sister and Mrs Appleton. Altogether it was a notable occasion which I am glad to have taken part in. We had delightful weather all the time. A sense of Melancholy comes over me to come back home again which I try to resist. I find a letter from Mrs. Darley, one from Church wanting me to come up there. I have written to the Agents Philips & Wells about spending $25 advertising our place. The grass which Carroll was to have cut two weeks ago is not yet cut but he promises to do it. I have sold it to him on the field for $10, he to cut it and get it in and have given him the privilege of putting it in our barn until he wants it. Now I am thinking of going out to the mountains for some sketching and have written to find out about Seagers on Dry brook. Wrote to Mary Gifford at Sagg P. O. L. I.

Bernie Marcus — billionaire co-founder of hardware giant Home Depot — wrote a Wednesday op-ed endorsing Donald Trump.
"I now stand in support of Donald J. Trump because the fate of this nation depends upon sending him, and not Hillary Clinton, to the White House," he stated.
Marcus served as Home Depot's first CEO and Chairman of the Board until his retirement in 2002, and he explained that a Trump presidency would not only reverse the "the damage done by President Barack Obama," but would prevent Hillary Clinton and the Democrats from pushing the country "leftward for generations" to come.
Not only would Trump install a conservative on the Supreme Court, but would protect small businesses by letting the market regulate itself.
"I have never seen our government as hostile to free enterprise, especially small business, as it is today," he wrote. "It is driving over-regulation, over-taxation, over-litigation, and over-spending. These "overs" are killing small businesses, which create the majority of new jobs in America."
"Politicians like Obama and Clinton, aided by the media and academia, have peddled a dangerous sentiment that government can provide for Americans better than the private sector. That's not just false, it's likely the nexus of Trump's massively popular slogan, 'Make America Great Again.'"
Finally, Marcus — who described himself "as a GOP donor who stood steadfastly behind Jeb Bush" — noted that "Republicans who refuse to stand behind their party's nominee are electing Clinton, whether they cast their ballots for her or not."
"As Americans, the choice is abundantly clear: If you want four more years of President Obama, vote for Hillary Clinton; if you want to take the country in a new direction, vote for Donald Trump."
You can read Marcus' entire column over at Real Clear Politics.

Review: To Steal a Heart, A Ravens Heart, & A Counterfeit Heart by K.C. Bateman
Forced to do the bidding of a corrupt government minister, Marianne de Bonnard agrees to plant incriminating evidence in the offices of France's most notorious spymaster. Under cover of night, the tightrope-walking thief puts her skills to good use—until her aerial stunt is foiled when her target appears in the window and, with consummate poise, helps Marianne off the wire and into his lair. The tremors that run through her body are not just from fear; there's an unwanted frisson of desire there, too. But is it because of her elegant, wickedly handsome host . . . or his proposition?
Nicolas Valette has had plans for his graceful trespasser since he witnessed her unique skills at the Cirque Olympique. Sinuous as a cat, Marianne is perfect for his next mission, but she refuses his generous offer for fear of disobeying her family's tormenter. When their mutual enemy auctions off her virginity to the highest bidder, Nicolas leaps at the chance to purchase her cooperation. Keeping her will be like trying to tame a wild animal, but what's life without a little risk? Besides, Nicolas and Marianne both want the same thing: revenge—and, perhaps, something else that's equally delicious.
In the war against France, Heloise Hampden is a high-value asset to the Crown. She's cracked the enemy's most recent communication, and for that, someone is trying to kill her. However, it's the agent assigned to protect Heloise who poses the greatest threat to her heart: William de l'Isle, Viscount Ravenwood. Heloise has quarreled with the man they call Raven since childhood, yet always maintained a chaste distance. She's sure nothing will change, thanks to the disfiguring scar on her face. So why is she so enchanted by the sight of Raven's jet-black hair, rakish smile, and wicked green eyes?
Nothing has changed. Raven still wonders how Hell-cat Hampden's lithe body would feel pressed against his, but for the mission he must remind himself that the woman takes more pleasure in ancient languages than she does in seduction. His imprisonment six years ago broke him in a way that makes the prospect of love impossible. Still, his heart beats like mad whenever he's within ten paces of Heloise, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if that means taking her to Spain as an unwilling hostage. Protecting her from danger will be a challenge; protecting her from desire will be pure agony.
As Sabine de la Tour tosses piles of forged banknotes onto a bonfire in a Paris park, she bids a reluctant farewell to her double life as a notorious criminal. Over the course of Napoleon's reign, her counterfeits destabilized the continent and turned scoundrels into rich men, but now she and her business partner must escape France—or face the guillotine. Her only hope of surviving in England is to strike a deal with the very spy she's spent her career outrunning. Now after meeting the arrogant operative in the flesh, Sabine longs to throw herself upon his mercy—and into his arms.
Richard Hampden, Viscount Lovell, is prepared to take any risk to safeguard England from the horrors of the French Revolution. To lure the insurgents out from the shadows, he's even willing to make a pact with his archenemy: Philippe Lacorte, the greatest counterfeiter in Europe. But when a cheeky, gamine-faced beauty proves herself to be Lacorte, Richard is shocked—and more than a little aroused. Unlike the debutantes who so often hurl themselves at him, this cunning minx offers a unique and irresistible challenge. Richard will help her. But in return, he wants something that even Sabine cannot fake.
As always a thanks goes first to NetGalley and Random House Loveswept for providing us with a copy of these books so that we could bring you this review.
I really enjoyed these books, the best part of them is that the woman are strong no nonsense kind of women. They aren't going to let these men tell them what to do. They are going to do what needs to be done and get there safely one way or another. Marianne has had life throw her curveballs at every turn and still manages to find way that will keep her sister safe. Im sure she never planned for Nicolas to come into her life and turn it upside down though. Heloise is not only strong in conviction but in intelligence as well. Her intelligence is what makes her a target though. Though Raven fights it every second of the time they are together he can't deny that he isn't head over heals for her. But by far my favorite of them all is Sabine. She learns to take care of herself but she is sneaky, conniving, and determined. All that is what throws Richard for a loop that is for sure. The other thing about these books is that they are based on things that happened in the past so it was interesting to go back and learn a little bit of Persian history while I read them.
I give these books a combined 4.75 kisses.
Happy Reading… Adri

Wow. Half a year's gone. We're left with six more months to fulfill our goals and resolutions. I know time is ticking, but as much as I want to tick all those checkboxes, I have to constantly remind myself of what truly matters… that sometimes, I can just marvel at the beauty of the sky above, let the moment linger for a bit and just be glad I survived yet another day.
All too often we get swamped with things that need to be done— office work, errands, life. We forget to nourish ourselves and take care of our core, to be with "our" people, those who fill our life with so much color, to connect always with our faith and the Divine.
Ahhh things that matter. They usually take a back seat, but now that we're halfway through, perhaps we can let them take the center stage.
So much had happened since my last entry. Our office had a short trip to New Delhi, my niece turned one, and my dearest aunt passed away. It was truly a difficult time for the family as my aunt was my mom's closest sister. I was on the phone with my mom just hours after my aunt passed, and it was heartbreaking to hear sobs and muffled cries. I flew home to be with her, and to thank my aunt for everything, but mostly for her love to my mom and our family. Theirs was a perfect sister/sibling relationship. If one day I'd be blessed with daughters, I pray that they'll share the same bond that my mom and aunt used to have.
Happy month of July, everyone! Sending love and gratitude also to those who DM-ed saying the Taipei Series is a big help. I'll try to write more Taipei guides soon.

Distinguishing tumor cells from normal cells can be a daunting challenge for surgeons during cancer surgeries. Failing to locate and remove all cancerous tissue during the operation often means a recurrence of the disease and another round of invasive surgery.
Chinese scientists have reported they are developing a new technology to aid the precise diagnosis and effective intervention in cancer treatment.
A research team led by Zhang Zhongping from Hefei Institute of Physical Science under Chinese Academy of Sciences has combined spherical nucleic acids with exquisitely engineered molecular beacons, dubbed SNAB technology, to identifying tumor cells from normal cells based on the hallmark of cancer -- the uncontrollable growth.
Their findings were published in the chemistry journal ACSNANO in late March.
The uncontrollable growth of tumor cells needs catalysis of telomerase, a special enzyme. Through catalysis, the SNAB technology can add fluorescent dye into tumor cells and make them luminous with red signals.
The technology has proved its abilities in distinguishing multiple kinds of tumor cells from normal cells and achieves tumor cell detection across multiple platforms, ranging from solution-based assay, to single cell imaging and in vivo solid tumor imaging.
If put into clinical trials, the technology could guide surgeons to precisely locate and remove tumors to help to lower the recurrence and death rate of cancer, according to Zhang.
"We envision the SNAB technology will impact cancer diagnosis, therapeutic response assessment, and image-guided surgery, " Zhang said.

REIT mutual funds and taxable accounts go together like oil and water
Several years ago I added the Vanguard REIT index fund (VGSIX) to my taxable account. At the time I didn't realize that a REIT must distribute 90% of its earnings in the form of dividends. In fact, I didn't even consider the tax consequences of placing a REIT mutual fund in a taxable account. The same was true with a bond fund that I held in my taxable account. Ouch.
Over time, the yearly tax hit from both of these funds became substantial. As I learned more about investing and asset location, I realized that I needed to move these mutual funds into a tax sheltered account. When I changed jobs a few years ago, I moved my 401(k) into a rollover IRA at Vanguard, and used it as the vehicle to hold my REIT and bond fund. I had to pay some capital gains tax on the REIT fund when I sold it, which was a costly lesson. In the long run, however, it was the smart move to make.
Asset location and international funds
Today I own three mutual funds in my taxable account: Brideway Ultra Small Company (BRSIX), Vanguard International Explorer (VINEX) and Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index (VEIEX). Both BRSIX and VEIEX have been great funds to hold in a taxable account. While both pay modest dividends, VEIEX hasn't distributed a capital gain since I've owned it, and BRSIX usually distributes modest capital gains. The Vanguard International Explorer fund, however, is another story.
This year VINEX distributed capital gains equal to about 12% of my total holdings in that fund. That tax hit for me, even at 15%, will be significant. Unfortunately, when I bought the fund several years ago, I wasn't focused on the tax consequences of holding the fund in a taxable account. You can learn from my mistake. So what can I do about it?
Well, I can't convert it to an ETF because that option isn't available with this fund. I could sell the fund, but of course that would trigger even more capital gains tax. But there is an option if I have any desire to give the money away–donor advised funds.
Donor advised funds
A donor advised fund can be set up with most major brokerages. Both Vanguard and Fidelity offer them. Here's how they work. You can contribute cash, stock or shares of a mutual fund to a donor advised fund that you set up. Once you make the contribution, the money is no longer yours. You can't get it back.
The donor advised fund will invest the money as you direct (within limits and the investment can't benefit you), and distribute the money at your direction to a qualified charity. And here is the good part: (1) you get an immediate tax write-off when you contribute to the donor advised fund (not when the money is distributed to a charity); (2) and you can write-off the appreciated value of the stock or fund without being taxed on the capital gains.
Now to take advantage of a donor advised fund, you obviously have to give your money to charity. If you already contribute cash to various charities, however, you may consider the donor advised fund instead. You can contribute appreciated stock or mutual funds instead of the cash, and then invest the cash you were going to give to charity back into similar investments and obtain a higher tax basis. This is an approach my wife and I are considering now.
In the case of VINEX, I could look for a more tax efficient alternative for my money. I should add that depending on what charities you contribute to, they may accept stock or mutual fund shares directly, without the need of setting up a donor advised fund. This could be a great alternative, particularly considering that donor advised funds have relatively high minimum investment requirements. Vanguard's Charitable Endowment Program's initial investment requirement is $25,000. Fidelity's Charitable Gift Fund's initial contribution requirement is $5,000.
As always, consult a tax professional before making any decisions involving a donor advised fund.
Question: If you invest in both traditional and Roth retirement accounts (whether 401(k)s and/or IRAs), does it matter from a tax perspective which investments you put into each account? I'll be addressing this and other 401(k) and IRA questions during the month of January. If you have an answer, please leave a comment. And send me any 401(k) or IRA questions you have.

Understanding what is wrong with meritocracy (part one)
Being fair is very important to me. I have however not really devoted my life to determining what the definition of fairness is, I mostly rely on my gut feeling here, like I assume most people do. In that sense I also accept that fairness, how most people apply it, is based on social conventions and personal experience. Both of which are not necessarily "just" in that social conventions often simply keep the ignorance of the past alive and personal experiences are essentially a social experiment with insufficient data. However I also assume that not leveraging social conventions or personal experience would make my daily life impossible as I would be overwhelmed with all the decision making. But if we choose to not challenge us in our daily life out of convenience, we should at least review our decision framework at regular times, especially by actively trying to expand our personal experience with the experiences of others.

The future of PHP .. at a distance
Its been quite a few years since I have been last subscribed to the internals mailing list. I still hang out in one of the popular core dev IRC channels, follow quite a few on twitter. So I still manage to stay on top of what is happening more or less but not the details in the discussions. Just wanted to put this as a disclaimer. Any opinions in this blog post are opinions formed watching something at a distance and this always runs the risk of being quite wrong or more impartial.

API versioning in the real world
We here at Liip are currently building a JSON REST API for a customer. At least initially it will only be used by 3 internal projects. One of which we are building and the 2 others are build by partner companies of the customer. Now we want to define a game plan for how to deal with BC breaks in the API. The first part of the game plan is to define what we actually consider a BC break and therefore requires a new API version. We decided to basically define that only removed fields, renamed fields or existing fields who's content has changed should be a BC break. In other words adding a new field to the response should not be considered a BC break. Furthermore changes in how results are sorted are generally not to be considered a BC break as loading more data or an upgrade of the search server can always result in minor reordering. However we would consider a change in any defaults to be an API increase (f.e. changes in default sort order) or changing the default output from "full" to "minimal" to be a BC break. But I guess we would not consider changing from "minimal" to "full" as a BC break as it would just add more fields by default. That being said, for caching reasons, we try not to work with too many such defaults anyway and rather have more requirement parameters. With these definitions ideally we should only rarely have to bump the API version. But there will be the day were we will have to none the less.

What is next for Symfony2?
Or rather what is left to do for the Symfony2 community? Obviously there are some missing features, bug fixes, performance enhancements and polish to apply to various parts of our code base. In terms of features, I think the main part that could use some more love is the HttpCache. But by and large, I think we cover everything that we need to cover and we do it quite well. When looking over the 3.0 UPGRADE file I am also not seeing of anything that hurts bad enough that would be a good reason to start working on the next major version. Given that, the question becomes where to direct our attention as a community?

__toString() or not __toString()?
The __toString() belongs to the family of methods and functions called "magic functions". They are magic because for the most part they do not get called explicitly but rather intercept operations. Unfortunately there are limits to its magic, specifically the only "context" the method is aware of is its design contract: to return a string. But its not clear what purpose that is. Should this be for some internal debugging or logging purposes? There one would be most interested in internal identifiers and object state. Is it for some frontend UI where the user will most likely be interested in some textual identifier that isn't too long as to not clutter the UI. There in lies the dilemma in the magic, while useful there is no way to ensure that the given context is passed on.

Connecting people to `can't get there from here' parks
Connecting people to `can't get there from here' parks - The Boston Globe: "In a heat wave, green space sure looks appealing. But what if you can't find it? Allston/Brighton has 40 percent less public green space than the average Boston neighborhood, said Heather Knopsnyder of that neighborhood's community development corporation. Worse, existing parks go underused. ``People just don't know where things are and how to get to them,' she said."

Dish Subscribers Lose NFL Channels After Dispute Between Satellite Provider And Networks
A dispute over distribution fees forced Dish Network to end their agreement with NFL recently. This marks the first time in the history of NFL, where a TV service provider has rejected broadcasting the league. Apart from owing the rights to 8 Thursday Night football games, the NFL also shared a deal with NBC and CBS for 10 other games. The monthly fee of NFL is approximately estimated to nearly $1.31 per customer.
This is not the first time that Dish Network is battling against outrageous rising costs of sports channels. Dish network has engaged in a similar dispute with Tribune over fees, which resulted in the removal of Tribune stations from the Dish Network.
NFL networks were offering more original programs and the ratings were at a promising point, but the surprising turn of events has caused the ratings to drop down significantly. Just like all other TV service providers, Dish Network also offered the NFL network only on specific number of channels. But now, Dish Network may lose NFL's RedZone service channel, which carries the live action of football games on every Sunday through the entire football season.
A Dish Network spokesman commented that "we remain open to a fair offer that allows us to carry this content at an appropriate value to our customers." On the other hand, NFL responded that their channels currently reach up to 60 million homes and they have listed the television channels that still contains NFL sports channels, so that the viewers can watch the football game.
The NFL sports channel has been blocked in approximately 7 million homes. So, if you are a Dish subscriber planning to stay updated on the world of football through NFL, you are going to be disappointed.
The NFL network may have experienced difficulties during selection but they have not been dropped out or canceled. Subscribers are not really concerned about the exclusion of NFL channels, as it is offseason now, but if this dispute extend over to the months August or September, fans are most likely to miss out pre-season and the first few matches of the regular season.

The architects from A.Masow Design Studio created a circular glass house in a fir forest near Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The house fusions with nature and has four floors that integrate a fir tree.
The chambers have the bare minimum, without any useless objects, the only decorations are the fir branches. The lack of privacy is compensated by the feeling of living under the open sky among the trees.
A light-coloured circular flight of stairs connects the floors.

Trishna Daswaney, a young, ambitious and charitable entrepreneur, is the founder of Kohl Kreatives: a beauty brand on a self-love mission. Daswaney grew up in Hong Kong, where she was self-conscious about her appearance and used makeup as a special armour. After watching the film My Sister's Keeper and connecting with how the character Kate, who was suffering from cancer, looked healthy when she wore a wig and makeup, Daswaney was inspired to create a brand that uses make-up as a tool for mental well being. Better yet, all their proceeds go towards teaching the transgender community and people undergoing chemotherapy, in Hong Kong and the UK, how to use make-up – from techniques to finding the perfect products.
Until 22nd October, Kohl has a pop-up store open in Boxpark, Shoreditch with a bunch of different events taking place to help support the cancer care and transgender communities.

MARYSVILLE – "The Zaniac" Alex Zerbe had children jumping and dancing around like they had ants in their pants at Kids Day Saturday at Asbery Field.
The event annually kicks off the weeklong Marysville Strawberry Festival in town.
Zerbe's colorful outfits and props delighted dozens of kids throughout the day while their parents rested on nearby benches.
Visitors may have recognized him as Zerbe has appeared on "America's Got Talent" and "Last Comic Standing." He also hold Guinness Book of World Records as Seattle's 3rd best air guitarist and as hacky sack champion. He also juggles bowling balls, flaming torches and slices vegetables in half with a flying playing card.
Another popular area at the event was at Home Depot, where children made small boats, basketball hoop games and more with their families. They also received orange work aprons from the store. And The Builder showed up, too. It was all free.
Long lines were seen at the bouncy houses and slide. Balloon and face-painting artists were on hand, as was Marysville-Pilchuck's own Victoria Steward, who sang Disney classics. The Marysville Police Department Bearcat was there, along with Webbly from the Everett Aquasox. Marysville Toyota sponsored the entire event to help out Maryfest, the volunteer organization that puts on the festival each year. Also, in observance of National Safety Month, it hosted Buckle Up for Life, the national car seat safety program offering attendees onsite car seat installation demonstrations.

This October, Chris Soghoian — computer security researcher, oft-times journalist, and current technical consultant for the FTC's privacy protection office — attended a closed-door conference called "ISS World". ISS World — the "ISS" is for "Intelligence Support Systems for Lawful Interception, Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Gathering" — is where law enforcement and intelligence agencies consult with telco representatives and surveillance equipment manufacturers about the state of electronic surveillance technology and practice. Armed with a tape recorder, Soghoian went to the conference looking for information about the scope of the government's surveillance practices in the US. What Soghoian uncovered, as he reported on his blog this morning, is more shocking and frightening than anyone could have ever expected
At the ISS conference, Soghoian taped astonishing comments by Paul Taylor, Sprint/Nextel's Manager of Electronic Surveillance. In complaining about the volume of requests that Sprint receives from law enforcement, Taylor noted a shocking number of requests that Sprint had received in the past year for precise GPS (Global Positioning System) location data revealing the location and movements of Sprint's customers. That number?
Sprint received over 8 million requests for its customers' information in the past 13 months. That doesn't count requests for basic identification and billing information, or wiretapping requests, or requests to monitor who is calling who, or even requests for less-precise location data based on which cell phone towers a cell phone was in contact with. That's just GPS. And, that's not including legal requests from civil litigants, or from foreign intelligence investigators. That's just law enforcement. And, that's not counting the few other major cell phone carriers like AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. That's just Sprint.

I last blogged in this series about five years ago, but just had to revisit it in the light of yesterday's fantastic celebration of Linda's graduation.
Each of my previous posts were anonymised, but today I'm naming, proclaiming and celebrating Linda for her faith, her perseverance and her never giving up, even when it would have been easier and more comfortable to do so.
Studying part time for seven years is never going to be an easy undertaking, but add in to that the loss of one's own business, one son being hit with a degenerative illness which remains undiagnosed, three family members mistakenly murdered in a gangland shooting and two abusive family members who just want your money and whatever else they can take from you, and the recipe for failure looks to be well set.
Well set that is, apart from God.
Yesterday Linda graduated with a Bachelor of Education degree (BEd) from UNISA.
Linda's faith throughout all of those years has been truly humbling and at times has made Paula and I seriously rethink how we approach our own faith and our often poor attitudes to the rubbish things that often happen in life.
Yesterday, Paula wrote the following on Facebook, and as ever she says it better than I could...
"7 years ago my dear, courageous, beautiful friend Linda was woken by God
in the middle of the night. He told her clearly to follow her heart and
to train as a teacher so that she could make a real difference in the
lives of disadvantaged learners, particularly those who struggle to
learn, as her own youngest son had been battling for years. Many people
thought her insane, many tried to dissuade her, particularly as over
the years she had to give up her hair salon business in order to gain
valuable unpaid work experience in school; her eldest son became
seriously ill with a progressive wasting disease that doctors cannot
understand; 3 of her family were senselessly murdered and her life at
home with her mother and step father is extremely challenging. As
friends and her pastors Dean and I have always encouraged her to keep
the vision that God has given her and to run with it, in spite of all
her obstacles. She has often gone without; she has often not had UNISA
fees until the very last hour; she has often had to study by candlelight
in the cold in the early hours; she has often had to go to the doctor
with stress related illnesses and yet she is one of our biggest
encouragers in the church, always quick to testify and to spur others
along. Linda never stops giving or growing. Today we are so proud of her
as she receives her Bachelor of Education Degree, which took 7 long
years to complete. We cannot wait to see you fly into the future and
continue this journey with God. Most of all, the children of Macassar
Primary are SO blessed to have you teacher Linda!"

Happy Birthday Card
Today's card was inspired by the Retrosketches #138 challenge, found here. For the "Happy Birthday" card, I began with a 6″ x 6″ White Daisy cardstock base, and then layered the card with overlays in Pacifica (blue) and Canary (yellow) cardstock.
The beautiful and festive patterned papers were cut from the Confetti Wishes Paper Packet. Each piece was sponged around the edges with Thistle ink. And, as you may have noticed, there was NO STAMPING on this card! This card was created solely with papers and sequin accents.
The "Happy Birthday" sentiment may look like a sticker, but it was actually just an image cut from one of the Confetti Wishes patterned papers. I glued the image to Pacifica cardstock, cut it out around the curves, and then mounted on a piece of White Daisy cardstock and foam tape. To finish off the card, I added Gold Sequins, following the pattern of the Retrosketches sketch!
I'll see you in the craft room,

MENLO PARK, CA – June 21, 2017 – Ayasdi, a leader in machine intelligence software and a pioneer in enterprise-class intelligent applications, today announced the immediate availability of a new intelligent application called Ayasdi Model Accelerator. Focused on the financial services industry, it is particularly well suited for complex, high-dimensional, modeling problems where the principal goal is to reduce the number of features and variables being used for modeling purposes. The software facilitates the process of building, documenting and deploying those models into production while creating exceptional transparency for regulators and internal model-review boards.
Ayasdi Model Accelerator is the latest addition to the company's expanding suite of intelligent applications. These applications address mission-critical business problems in financial services, healthcare and the public sector. They package powerful intelligence with intuitive user-interfaces so the broadest audience within an enterprise can consume and act on it to benefit the organization.
Built on Ayasdi's enterprise AI platform, the Model Accelerator application excels at a variety of modeling challenges but is particularly effective at risk-modeling problems such as loss-given default (LGD), probability of default (PD) and other regulatory modeling problems. These models typically make use of simple regression techniques to support the simplicity and explainability requirements associated for regulatory oversight; however, Ayasdi Model Accelerator supports a range of approaches and it can model exceptionally complex problems.
"With Ayasdi Model Accelerator, enterprises can dramatically reduce the time and resources it takes to create, validate, document and deploy models," said Ronaldo Ama, EVP, Product and Engineering at Ayasdi. "This is enabled by its carefully designed application workflow and collaboration features that let model designers actively engage with line-of-business owners and internal review managers throughout the construction and documentation process."
In addition to its ability to rapidly and collaboratively construct and deploy models, Ayasdi Model Accelerator transforms key elements of the model lifecycle. During the model-creation process, the intelligent application documents both variable selection and modeling methodology, systematically and deterministically. It produces a repeatable process with consistent supporting reports that document model lineage, variable selection and cross validation.
With Ayasdi Model Accelerator, not only are the initial variable selections recorded and documented, the entire modeling and approval process is tracked and cataloged for all model developers and collaborators, which facilitates everything from review to model re-use.
These features of the Model Accelerator application and its ability to document and justify recommendations, are a key element in Ayasdi's framework for all its intelligent applications:

This book comprises ten articles covering different aspects of power quality issues in microgrids and distributed generation (DG) systems, including 1) Detection and estimation of power quality; 2) Modeling; 3) Harmonic control for DG systems and microgrids; 4) Stability improvements for microgrids. Different power quality phenomena and solution were studied in the included papers, such as harmonics, resonance, frequency deviation, voltage sag, and fluctuation. From a network point of view, some papers studied the harmonic and stability issues in standalone microgrids which are more likely to cause power quality problems. Other papers discussed the power quality problems in microgrids which are weakly interconnected with the main distribution grid. In view of the published papers, there is a trend that increasingly advanced modeling, analysis, and control schemes were applied in the studies. Moreover, the latest works focus not only on single-unit problems but also multiple units or network issues. Although some of the hot topics are not included, this book covers multiple aspects of the current power quality research frontier, and represents a particularly useful reference book for frontier researchers in this field.

As A Man Thinketh was written in 1903 by James Allen ( 1864-1912), an English author. It is really
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."And that is the premise of the whole little book.
"The soul attracts that which it secretly harbours; that which it loves, and also that which it fears;..."The chapters are: Thought and Character, Effect of Thought on Circumstances, Effect of Thought on Health and the Body, Thought and Purpose, The Thought-Factor in Achievement, Visions and Ideals, and Serenity,
I didn't find it especially helpful in my journey, but it was interesting and there were certainly good points made in the book. And I certainly agree with the premise!
Reminiscences of My Life In Camp-An African American Woman's Civil War Memoir by Susie
This was a fascinating book in several ways: her own personal story growing up, her care of others, and after the war, her work to continue caring for those who had served in the War. I was especially struck with some of her words (remember, written in 1902) near the end of the book:
"'I wonder if our white fellow men realize the true sense or meaning of brotherhood? For two hundred years we had toiled for them; the war of 1861 came and was ended, and we thought our race was forever freed from bondage, and that the two races could live in unity with each other, but when we read almost every day of what is being done to my race by some whites in the South, I sometimes ask, "Was the war in vain? Has it bought freedom, in the full sense of the word, or has it not made our condition more hopeless?'"
And yet, later in the book:
"'Can we forget those cruelties? No, though we try to forgive and say "No North, no South" and hope to see it in reality before the last comrade passes away.'"
I'm glad that she continued to live in hope, but it makes me sad to consider that here we are in 2016, over 100 years since she wrote those words and our country still continues to struggle with issues of equality.

Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake recipe has a scrumptious soft and buttery cake base, topped with aromatic sliced cinnamon apples. It is a great recipe for the holiday season which can be served as a dessert, or for breakfast.
September is a month of peaches and apples. It is the perfect time to wake up earlier on a Saturday morning, hop in the car, and visit a local orchard to pick up fruits. Whether you live in the city or suburbs, you will enjoy a beautiful panoramic journey through small villages and farms with fields covered with giant corn, or potatoes and other vegetables. I think the best time to go there is in the early morning when there are less people and everything is so beautiful and peaceful.
When you arrive to the orchard, they will offer you a basket. Take a few, because you will always find more fruits or berries that you want to take with you while walking through the apple trees section.

Last year, I posted my Peach and Blueberry Coffee Cake recipe which became very popular on my blog. This year, I want to show you how to use the same cake base to make a luscious Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake that is great for the holiday season. While the peach season is almost over, the apple season will last for a little bit longer. Enjoy this time of the year while using apples more often in your baking.
Note: The only thing I added to the cake base recipe is lemon zest, as it brightens up the apple flavor. For the topping, I mixed slices apples, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. As an option, you also can add a little bit of all-spice, though I prefer without.
Also, for this Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake, I usually use an 8×8-inch baking pan and place the sliced apples in three rows. However, if that size pan is not available, use a regular 9-inch baking pan and top the apples clockwise, like I demonstrated for my Peach and Blueberry Coffee Cake. Place them tighter so they all fit.
I have to warn you that your house will be saturated with a luscious apple cinnamon aroma and the cake might be gone before it completely cools off! If you want, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream when serving to enhance the flavors.

Good Morning,
As I sit here letting the delicious caffeine seep into all of the crevices of my brain meat I am preparing for a day trip to San Antonio. I am going down to do an on site visit of a hotel which I believe is the one for Paradise Lost 2. It is a very cool property, right on the riverwalk with some great amenities and an awesome 20th century art deco look.
Cross your fingers true-believers and be waiting for the announcement!
In the mean time, on the production side of writing the war goes on.
I received a rejection from one of the top three agents whom I queried, but a good friend announced she is now being represented by same said agent. This actually counts as a win in my book as the success of my peers is a rising tide for my generational wave. Also considering I have another top-tier agent who has a requested a full of my manuscript, all in all the balance is not only positive but awesome. I do need to get off my ass and get more queries out. My top three are thus far, a win, a draw and a lack of response. It is time to do the next 9. (I love three, it makes the OCD purr like a kitten)
I continue the process of building up the new novel, which has the working title of , A Dark Lord Named Paul. It is going to be a tricky story with two time-lines which have an interleaved story. I am in deep compost mode allowing my subconscious to work out some details. I am excited about the project and ready to strike the first words and get going. The project does run the risk of being another damn tome though vs a shorter novel, which had been a goal. Maybe the next novel will be less than 125K words?
In the mean time, life goes on as I adjust to my new job, which is challenging and at times frustrating. After years of working for large and organizationally feudal companies, working for a small, open and collaborative company is a jarring experience. I will admit I had grown complacent in my expectations of having large teams who do my bidding vs having to make my bread like the little red hen.
I wish you all the best of weekends. If you are one of the kind folks who come by and visit from time to time, by all means leave a comment so I know who you are. I see my "hits" statistics and wonder who you are.
