NEWS: Deaf Empowerment Program in Ghana, Uganda Launches
First posted in November 2008 at http://www.uclan.ac.uk/ahss/research/islands/sign_language.php
£58,000 for deaf empowerment in Africa
The iSLanDS Centre has received a grant from the Education Partnership Africa programme for capacity building in sub-Saharan Africa.
The project "Training and employability for the deaf communities in Ghana and Uganda" is a joint initiative with the University of Ghana, Kyambogo University in Uganda, and deaf organisations in both countries, and aims at capacity building in the areas of applied sign language studies.
Course and curriculum development includes a sign language interpreter training course at the University of Ghana, a 2-year diploma course for deaf students in Applied Sign Language Studies in Uganda, and summer courses in academic skills development for deaf students. All of these are first-time initiatives, and are realised in close partnership with local deaf organisations.
We expect this project to impact positively on literacy, employability, and access to work for talented deaf participants in these programmes.
For further details, contact the project leader Ulrike Zeshan at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Sam Lutalo-Kiingi at email@example.com
I learned of this program via the Deaf Studies Africa mailing list. All inquiries should please go to either of the project leaders (see email addresses above), NOT to We Can Do. Thank you.

The Five Most Popular We Can Do posts
The five listed here are the ones that have attracted the most "page views" since We Can Do began in late July. You may notice that not all of these are featured in the 10 "most popular posts" listed in the right-hand navigation bar. That's because the navigation bar only lists posts that have received a lot of traffic very recently (I think within the past few days; its done automatically by wordpress so I'm not sure how it works). But here I'm listing the five that have the highest TOTAL page views.
- An announcement about the International Day of Disabled Persons, held on December 3, 2007, has received more than 600 hits.
- More than 500 We Can Do readers were especially anxious to learn more about some limited available funding for conference participation from developing nations.
- More than 400 readers wanted to learn from a Case study on early intervention for blind children.
- The international Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (CRPD) in plain language has attracted more than 400 readers. This version of the CRPD was written for people who have trouble understanding the legal language of the original, or who want a tool to help them translate the CRPD into another language.
- More than 400 people have learned more About We Can Do.

The Five Most Under-Rated We Can Do posts
Are these posts really under-rated? You'll have to read them and decide for yourself. But in choosing these five, I used two criteria: 1. These are posts that have received fewer than 100 visitors–sometimes far fewer. 2. These are posts that I think could be helpful or interesting to readers and maybe deserve more attention than they have gotten. These are in no particular order:
- See Finding development organizations and resources for a link that can help you find major international development organizations and funders. Some of these organizations already work on disability issues and may be interested in building new partnerships with new DPOs, development organizations, and other NGOs.
- Equipment that enables blind people in industrialized countries to read computer screens can be expensive. But new technology can help bring screen readers and magnifiers to blind people in developing countries. The Sightsaver's Dolphin Pen is cheaper, which means it is easier to afford in countries where the average income may be only a few hundred dollars per person per year.
- Looking for statistics to back up your arguments, or to add to your literature review for your dissertation? You can consult Numbers Don't Feed People–Or Do They?" for a few leads.
- Want to help teach disabled people in your country about the international Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)? Handicap International has developd a teaching kit on the CRPD with suggested teaching points, power point programs, Word files and PDF files.
- Teachers, parents, and other advocates for children can use the Child-friendly version of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) to teach both disabled and non-disabled children about disability rights.

Finding Practical Resources and Case Studies or Helpful Organizations
Finding organizations; Resources for inclusive development; Human rights resources; Case studies; Other helpful resources
Finding organizations
Mainstream international development agencies sometimes say that they don't know how to find people with disabilities, or their representative organizations, in the developing countries where they work. Reviewing the July post entitled Finding Local Disability Organizations may help point you in the right direction. Also see Disability Organizations in Afghanistan, Asia, Kenya, Uganda.
Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs) sometimes aren't sure where to find mainstream development organizations and resources that might be willing to collaborate with them.
There is an international network of organizations for families of people with Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome.
Top of Finding practical resources; Table of Contents; Top of this page
Resources for Inclusive Development
Both disability advocates and mainstream development organizations want to ensure that people with disabilities are not left behind when countries and organizations fight poverty or improve public health, education, water, and other services. But it can be a challenge to figure out how to make projects and government policies more inclusive. The following resources can help:
- Making Poverty Reduction Strategies Inclusive: for disability advocates and other individuals or organizations that want to help national government policies become more inclusive of disabled people when they fight poverty. This handbook can be downloaded for free.
- Handbook on Mainstreaming Disability, for mainstream international development organizations written by Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO). Download for free.
- An On-line book on Universal Design and Visitability can be downloaded for free.

Resources on the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
By now, you may be aware that a global movement is taking place to ratify the international disability rights treaty, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Many relevant resources are now being produced in relation to the CRPD, some of which have been posted or featured here at We Can Do:
Top of Finding practical resources; Table of Contents; Top of this page
Case Studies
Reviewing case studies of projects implemented elsewhere can be a valuable source of ideas that could help you figure out how to run or implement your own projects. I would love to post many more best-practice and failed-practice case studies than I have available right now. If you think you have something worth sharing, please check my Wish List of Written Materials and Resource and contact me at ashettle [at] patriot.net.
But for now, here are two case studies:
- A Case Study about an Early intervention program for blind children in Russia
- a collection of short case summaries of projects for deaf children in Burkino Faso, Zimbabwe, Somaliland, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, and India
Top of Finding practical resources; Table of Contents; Top of this page
- A set of Recommendations on how to empower people with intellectual disabilities in the Asian and Pacific region was developed at a conference held in the region in October 2007.
- A dictionary for Sri Lankan Sign Language has been published.
- A new device functions as a screen reader or magnifier for blind people in developing countries: this Sightsavers' Dolphin Pen is cheaper than the standard screen readers used in industrialized countries. That helps bring it within reach of a wider number of blind people even in countries where the average income is very low.

Finding Useful Sources of Information and Research
Finding academic research, papers, resources, or statistics
Looking for academic research and academic papers; resources that can be used by people working in the field; or sources of statistics? Some of the following posts may be helpful:
- Disability Knowledge: Hungarian and English
- Numbers Don't Feed People–Or Do They? On finding statistics relevant to disabled people in developing countries
Information on people with disabilities
Interested in learning about the living conditions of people with disabilities in specific nations, or in specific thematic areas? Some of the following may be of interest:

- The Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) has come out with a resource that could help women's organizations find funding.
- The Worldwide Initiative for Grantmaker Support (WINGS) Global Fund for Community Foundations makes grants of up to $50,000 USD to emerging and developing community foundations or support organizations in developing countries. Note that these funds are NOT meant for individual non-government organizations (NGOs) but for small FOUNDATIONS or organizations meant to SUPPORT NGOs.
- The United Nations Democracy Fund holds an annual competition for funding applications for projects to promote better democratic participation. The 2007 deadline is December 18. Missed it? Review their information carefully and consider preparing early for their next funding round.
- Looking for funding to attend an international or local conference? three organizations have some limited funds available for conference participation from developing countries; two of these are focused on Latin America, but the first one listed (the Ford Foundation) covers other regions as well.
- The Inter-American
Foundations Grassroots Development Fellowship Program offers research fellowships to doctorate (PhD) students who want to study grassroots movements among poor people in Latin America. The application deadline is January 22, 2008.

Jobs, Internships, Volunteer Opportunities
We Can Do will probably never be a comprehensive job-board. Serious job, internship, or volunteer placement hunters will want to explore other means of finding opportunities. For example, jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities in the international field generally, or in the disability field generally, can sometimes be found at www.idealist.org. But I do occasionally happen to come across a job announcement. Here are a few that may still be open to applications:
- Three job posts are available in Luanda, Angola; the deadline for these is December 31, 2007.
- On-line translators for a corporate social responsibility initiative called "Disability Focus". Contact organization to inquire regarding deadline.
- The United Nations is seeking a Senior Social Affairs Officer, P-5. The application deadline is January 14, 2008.

Missed Opportunities
Missed call for papers; Missed training opportunities; Missed job, internship, and volunteer opportunities; Missed events and conferences
Some of the material I post at We Can Do is time-sensitive material. That means the conferences announced here have come and gone; job posts have been filled; and deadlines are over. So, if it's too late for you to do anything about any of the following announcements, then why bother listing them? First, some conference organizers issue compilations of papers and presentations or other interesting materials after their event is over. If a topic interests you, it may be worth communicating with event organizers to see if any follow-up publications are available. Second, organizations that offer one conference, job opportunity, call for papers, etc., may offer something similar in the future. Many conferences, for example, meet every one, two, three, or four years. Monitoring, joining, or communicating with organizations of interest to you could help ensure that you learn about the next opportunity in time to plan for it.

What's Next for We Can Do?
I am not yet satisfied with We Can Do. I still see many gaps that I want to repair. I want to find, and post, more materials of a pragmatic nature. By which I mean, material that people in the field can put to immediate use in improving the lives of disabled people in developing countries. If you think you can help me locate helpful materials, please review my Wish list for written materials and resources and contact me.
I also want to reach more development professionals at mainstream development organizations and more employees and volunteers at international disability organizations. And I want to reach more small DPOs and individual advocates in more developing countries. The knowledge shared at We Can Do cannot help until it is brought to people with disabilities living in poverty in developing countries. That "final mile" can only be bridged by readers like YOU.
If you want to help, I hope you will consider telling your colleagues and contacts about We Can Do. If you run a web site or a blog, please consider linking to We Can Do at https://wecando.wordpress.com. If you have the skills, the time, and the commitment to launch a We Can Do mirror site translation into some other language, please talk to me (leave a comment or email me at ashettle [at] patriot.net). And please do feel free to print out the more helpful We Can Do posts to share with people you know in developing countries who do not have easy access to the Internet.
For those of you who like numbers: We Can Do had 285 page views in July; 851 in August; 1305 in September; 2936 in October; 4862 in November; and more than 5100 in the first three weeks of December. And who is responsible for making these numbers happen? Why—you, of course! So, thank you for visiting We Can Do.

Please Submit YOUR Materials to We Can Do
Currently, We Can Do gathers news; announcements; academic papers; case studies; opinion pieces; information about resources; and other materials of interest to disabled advocates and international development professionals from a wide range of sources. In addition to these, from time to time, I write fresh content of my own.
I also hope to be able to depend heavily on YOU–We Can Do readers–for some of the best, most interesting, and helpful materials. Examples of materials that would interest me include, but are not limited to: "best practice" case studies; "failed practice" case studies; checklists; fundraising advice or resources; other pragmatic resources; academic papers or reports; student projects; press releases; opinion pieces; announcements; and more. For more detail, please click on "Wish List for Written Materials and Resources" at the top navigation bar.
If you can assist with my current top priority, or with any of the other items in my "wish list", then PLEASE GET IN TOUCH. Email me at ashettle at patriot dot net or leave a short note in the comment area below and I'll contact you.
Current Top Priority for We Can Do
Are you from Croatia, Cuba, Gabon, Hungary, India, Jamaica, or Panama? If so, were you involved with the movement to persuade your government to sign and ratify the international Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)? If so PLEASE CONTACT ME (ashettle at patriot dot net, or leave a comment below with your email address).
I want to interview people involved with these movements (via email) so I can write a story describing what strategies you used; any barriers you faced along the way; how you overcame these barriers; any mistakes you made, how you corrected them, and how other countries can avoid them; what activities or techniques you think were the most critical to your success; and so forth. Sharing this type of information at We Can Do–and elsewhere–could be immensely helpful to disability movements in other countries that are working toward the same goals.
My primary written language is English, pero puedo escribir y leer, mas o menos, en espanol tambien. (Lo siento para la mala ortografia–no se como crear acentos en WordPress.) Once we are in contact, I will probably have many questions for you–and follow up questions after that!
Thank you for helping make We Can Do become a strong, good-quality resource for people with disabilities in developing countries and the people who are working hard to meet their needs.
Edited to Add: I do not post my full email address because any recognizable email address posted on the web then immediately becomes the target of "spam harvesters" and starts receiving tons of unwanted, unsolicited commercial emails. But I spelled it out above and spell it out again here. But this time I'm amplifying it because I realize that not all people have learned how to parse spelled out email addresses:
My username is: ashettle
Every email address has an @ at sign @ between the user name and the domain name, thus ashettle@
My email domain is patriot.net
Put it all together and you have my email address.
Or if that is still too confusing–or if it's just easier for you–then feel free to leave a note below (with your email address in the area provided for it) and I'll get in touch.

NEWS: World Association of Sign Language Interpreters Conference Report
The email further below comes from the secretary of the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters (WASLI) regarding their recent conference in Spain. Some sign language interpreters from developing nations were among the participants.
At the WASLI web site (http://www.wasli.org), you can see a daily newsletter from the conference (in English at top, in Spanish if you scroll down the page).

Their "WASLI Country Reports 2007" (PDF format, 2.8 Mb) presents recent information about the situation of sign language interpreters or Deaf/deaf people generally in dozens of both industrialized and developing nations around the world. Some of the developing nations represented include: Botswana, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Cambodia, India, Peru, and Mexico.
WASLI also published a similar report two years earlier, WASLI Country Reports 2005 (PDF format, 1 Mb). The low- and middle-income countries represented in this report include: Argentina, Brazil, Cameroon, Kenya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Nigeria, Palestine, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda.

Supreme criticisms of the Supreme leader
"According to the reports, a student from Sharif University, named by some websites as Mahmud Vahidnia, criticized the Iranian leader, state broadcast media, the postelection crackdown, and the closure of the reformist press -- for a whole 20 minutes. The student reportedly told Khamenei that he had never seen criticism of Khamenei in the Iranian press. He said those surrounding Khamenei have turned him into "an idol." He then went on to accuse state media of biased reporting and giving a false picture of postelection events. He added that since the supreme leader appoints the head of state broadcast media, he is responsible for its content and biased coverage. On a roll, the unnamed student then criticized "the cycle of power" in Iran, including the conservative Guardians Council and the Assembly of Experts. According to Khamenei's website, the Iranian leader reacted by saying that he welcomes criticism and knows that there is a lot of it." (thanks Nader)

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Although M.2 SSDs come in similar form factors, only an M.2 SATA drive with an NGFF B key will operate with this device. M.2 drives that are PCIe or have a different key position are not compatible with this device.
This device can adapt an M.2 SATA drive to standard SATA connections, which is not possible for a PCIe based M.2 drive. The key type refers to the connector type on the M.2 SATA drive. B key can be M.2 PCIe x2 or SATA, so it is important that you check the specifications of the drive to see if it supports SATA.
To determine if your hard drive will work in this enclosure, on the product page, click the Technical Specifications tab, and do the following:
- Make sure that the enclosure supports the storage size of your hard drive. If the storage size of your hard drive is larger than what the enclosure was tested with, the hard drive will likely still work with the enclosure.
- Confirm that your hard drive uses the same interface type as the enclosure. For example, IDE, SATA, or M.2.
- Make sure that the enclosure supports the physical size of your hard drive, such as 2.5 inches or 3.5 inches.
- Make sure that the enclosure supports the height of your hard drive. For example, 9 mm or 15 mm.
- Verify that the power consumption of your hard drive doesn't exceed the power output of the enclosure. If you're using multiple hard drives, make sure that the combined power consumption of all of the hard drives doesn't exceed the power output of the enclosure.
When you troubleshoot issues with a hard drive enclosure, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
- Cables
- Hard drives
- Hard drive enclosure
To test your setup components, try the following:
- Use the cables, hard drives, and hard drive enclosure in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
- Use a different cable, hard drive, and hard drive enclosure in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test the hard drive and hard drive enclosure, it is recommended that you do the following:
- To check Disk Management, press the Windows key + R, type diskmgmt.msc, and press Enter. Check to see if your hard drive is listed.
- If the hard drive is listed with unallocated space, the hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right-click unallocated and click New Simple Volume. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reformatting.
Note: Formatting a hard drive erases all of the data on it. Make sure that you back up all of your data before you reformat the hard drive.
- If the hard drive is listed as healthy but does not have a drive letter, for example, C:, right-click healthy and click Change Drive Letter and Paths. Click Add, assign a drive letter, and click OK.
Note: A formatted hard drive will not show up in Computer or My Computer until it has a drive letter assigned to it.
Hard Drives
Windows 10
Before you can access a new or formatted drive in your operating system, you need to initialize it first and then create a partition on the drive. A partition defines an area of the drive to use for storing data. The partition uses a file system (for example, ex-FAT, NTFS, and so on).
Initialize a drive
Note: You typically only need to initialize a drive if the drive is new. If you cannot find an uninitialized drive in Disk Management, skip the following steps and try to partition your device.
Press the Windows key + R, type compmgmt.msc, and click Run to open Computer Management.
Navigate to Disk Management.
When prompted to, initialize your disk(s). If you are running Windows® 7 or later and are using a drive larger than 2TB, initialize the disk(s) with GPT. If you are running an earlier version of Windows, initialize the disk(s) with MBR. For more information, visit the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=hard-drives#mbr-vs-gpt.
Click OK.
Create a partition in a drive
Note: The following steps create an NTFS partition that uses the entire drive space. To use a different file system, select a different option in step 6.
Right-click Unallocated or RAW volume, and select New Simple Volume.
In the New Partition Wizard, click Next.
Select Primary partition.
Leave the partition size set to default, and click Next.
Assign a drive letter or leave it set to the default, and click Next.
Enter the following settings to format the partition:
- In the File System field, enter NTFS.
- Set the Allocation unit size to Default.
- In the Volume label field, enter <your name/reference>.
- Select the Perform a quick format check box.
- Clear the Enable file and folder compression check box.
- Click Next > Finish.
The new drive should appear in Windows Explorer.
Mac OS
Before you can access a new or formatted drive in your operating system, you need to initialize it first and then create a partition on the drive. A partition defines an area of the drive to use for storing data. The partition uses a file system (for example, HFS+, ex-FAT, NTFS, and so on).
Initialize a drive
Mac OSX detects a drive that needs to be initialized and automatically prompts you to initialize the drive. If you are prompted to initialize the drive, click Initialize. If you are not prompted to initialize the drive and you cannot find the drive in Finder, you will need to create a partition on the drive.
Create a partition on a drive
Note: The following steps create an HFS+ (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) partition that uses the entire drive space.
To create a partition on a new drive, complete the following:
Open Finder.
Navigate to Applications and click Utilities.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the new drive and click the Partition tab.
Click Options and verify that it is set to GUID Partition Table.
Enter a name for the partition.
Click Partition.
The drive should now be accessible in Finder.

These are four-winged beans, also called four-angled beans. These beans grow easily here, climbing up fences and giving a handful of beans every 3 days or so from one single plant. Because they grow and fruit easily, veg vendors usually have a plant or two, enough for their consumption with extra to sell. This is one veg I am pretty sure is pesticide free, especially when there's only a kilo or two of it out for sale. Once in a while I grow one plant in my garden but they are so fruitful that after a while nobody wants this on the table.
This is a superb salad my friend Linda often makes. I'm not sure of the origin, it could be nyonya (Malay-Chinese). There's no cooking required as the lime juice sort of pickles the beans which have to be cut super thin, one-cell thin if possible. Yes, thin enough to mount on a microscope slide. I was out of peanut brittle so I used grounded cashew nuts. It worked just as well. You will be taken by the burst of flavors from the bunga kantan, the dried shrimps and the fish sauce, the sting from the bird's eye chilies and the tangy sweetness of the lime juice and the sugar. You will also love the crunch of the uncooked beans. YUM.
p.s. I know veg recipes and posts aren't popular. You have heard of fibre and a painful condition if you don't eat enough veg? Starts with an 'h', 3 syllables. First one to answer correctly gets a carton of prune juice. Virtual of course.
Linda's Four-Winged Bean Salad
400 g 4 winged beans*
2 heap T dried shrimps, washed well
8 (to your liking) chili padis or hot chilies
1/2 heart of bunga kantan (a ginger flower)
juice from 2 large limes
1/2 to 1 T fish sauce
1/3 t salt
1/2 T fine sugar
2 T peanut brittle, pounded until fine
* instead of beans, Linda sometimes uses pakis (wild fern, fiddleheads) and the result is more than excellent. The pakis need to be blanched briefly in boiling water.
1. Wash the beans very well, drain & pat dry with a clean towel. Top and tail. Slice into very thin slices, as thin as you can. Cut the chilies up, cut the bunga kantan heart very finely.
2. Mix everything together except for the peanut brittle. Taste and season to your liking. Sprinkle the pounded peanut brittle on top.

16) What is a pragma?
#pragma xxx_yyy(on)
#pragma xxx_yyy(off)
#ifdef SAMPLE /* Checking if SAMPLE is defined */ #undef SAMPLE /* If so, then reset it */ #endif #define SAMPLE 0 /* Then redefine with intended value */
18) What is an lvalue?
An lvalue is an expression to which a value can be assigned. The lvalue expression is the one which is located on the left side a statement, whereas an rvalue is located on the right side of a statement. Each assignment must have a valid lvalue and rvalue. The lvalue expression must refer to a storage where something can be stored. It can't be a constant.
19) How to assign one array to another?
You can't assign an array to other. Arrays are not lvalue, because they don't refer to one variable, rather a set of variables. So they can't be placed on the left hand side of an assignment statement. For example the following statement will generate compilation error.
int x[5], y[5]; x = y;
20) what is the order of operator precedence, left to right or right to left ?
None of them is standard. C does not always start evaluating left to right or right to left. Normally, function calls are done first, followed by complex expressions and then simple expressions. That is why it is best to use parenthesis in all expressions, without depending on precedence.
21) What is the difference between ++X and X++?
The ++ operator is called the incremental operator. When the operator is placed before, the variable is incremented by 1 before it is used in the statement. When the operator is placed after the variable, then the expression is evaluated first and then the variable is incremented by 1.
22) What happens when we use incremental operator in a pointer?
It depends upon the type of the pointer. It gets incremented by the size of the data type, the pointer is pointing to. For example
char p; p++; /* here p increments by 1*/ int p; p++;/* here p increments by 4(for 32 bit system)*/
23) What will be output of the following code snippet?
int num1=5; int num2=5; num1 =num1++ + num1--; num2 =++num2 + --num2; printf("num1=%d num2=%d",num1,num2);
Output will be num1=10 num2=10.
24) Can the sizeof operator be used to tell the size of an array passed to a function?
No. The sizeof() operator can't tell the size of an array, because it is actually a pointer to the data type of the array.
25) Can you change the value of an array tag?
No. An array tag can't be used as a storage, because it is not an Lvalue. It can be thought as a pointer to the datatype of the array which is constant and which can't be changed or assigned dynamically.

Eddie Murphy has had a lot of interesting roles in his time. Most of them were in one movie. A Thousand Words is his newest comedy from Steve Koren (writer) and Tom Shadyack (director) of Bruce Almighty fame. While not as hilarious as Bruce, It's still a very good movie. The comedy in the film is somewhat lost in the tension of the situation, but the story is very interesting and pays off, finally after a painful but entertaining character journey.
Murphy plays Jack McCall, a fast talking agent who's used to getting everything on his terms. He fits his wife and son in where it's convenient and conquers his world by signing anyone who can build his personal empire. High on his own esteem, he sets off to sign a new age spiritual leader to sell his book, based solely on his large number of followers. When he talks his way into a deal, a mysterious tree grows in his yard over night that turns out to be connected to him.
He soon discovers that every word he speaks causes a tree to fall and that once the tree dies he will too as everything that happens to the tree also happens to him. Jack struggles to refrain from speech and focus his thoughts into simple terms, resulting in anger and occasional outbursts that bring him ever closer to his looming fate. Meanwhile, his family and career fall apart and he is helpless to stop it.
Ultimately, Jack's efforts to save himself fail, but he eventually reaches an understanding of the guru's philosophy and why he is so troubled. In confronting his past and releasing the anger he holds onto, a transformation occurs within and he experiences a sort of rebirth along with the tree which bursts into full bloom.
It's not a side-splitting comedy, but it never fails to be interesting and the heart of the movie is really quite touching. Eddie Murphy effortlessly leads the film which is boosted by an exceptionally talented cast of minor characters. It's definitely a feel good movie with a redemptive message, like Bruce Almighty, and the story is well honed and crafted even if it falls short on laughs. A

Luxury Marketing Strategy
Luxury is the state of high comfort and extravagant living. Luxury appeals to and feeds our desires, fantasies, and lust. You don't need a luxury, but you want it. Luxury is subjective, and it appeals to the five senses so, it can deliver incredible emotional benefits. Luxury is highly desirable because they are exclusive, sophisticated, of unique quality, and in good taste. People buy luxury products to feel unique and apart from the crowd, to feel superior and privileged, and to feel valued and important.
The successful companion provider has everything to do with luxury.
A luxury companion should provide an experience that is refined aesthetic, and that conveys sensuality, indulgence with a hint of the extravaganza. In a luxury compaion's fantasy world, a man feels sexier, more powerful, and more content than in his daily world. A luxury provider can transform a man's self-perception and leave him feeling - not ordinary but extraordinary!
She should appeal to the man's deep desire to break with his daily routine and to provide him with the illusion of happiness at least for during the encounter.
So, how do you market yourself as a Luxury Provider and not just another provider?
To be a luxury provider, you must look and act like a luxury provider. Yes, your looks and personality are critical, but through proper *marketing, you can create a *brand of yourself that is irresistible to all men.
Always Post Amazing Ads (*branding)
*To Learn about Marketing Definitions click here
Remember that your ads are there to persuade your target clients to what to know more information about you either by calling you or going to your site. The wording in your ads is a work in process, and you need to adjust it depending on what works continuously. Don't just state a physical description. You need to communicate what is different about you and how your client will feel when he is with you. You need to have a balance between not too long and not enough information. Keep track of which ads work, and if it stops getting the same success in a few weeks, you need to try new wording. You must consistently update your profile. An effective ad and site profile should include a professional description about yourself. It should provide insight that speaks directly to your target clients. Share some of your tasteful, appropriate innermost thoughts or feelings, without revealing too much. Within the profile, you must also tell your client why he should book you. Whether that's because you provide individualized attention or special tricks you learned from a courtesan, it really doesn't matter, as long as it's something your client will want to experience. Guide his mind away from reality into the fantasy world you will take him to, and let him know how an encounter with you will leaving him feeling. Sensual moments of pleasure are worth paying more: well-being, health, youth, and indulgence.
Men are Visual
They need to first fall for you through your photos before they start reading your ad, and consider contacting you. So your photos are his first impressions of you. You will need to post not just great images, but the right style of photos in both your ad and on your site. Hire a professional photographer that specializes in provider photography, and post only the polished, edited images. As you work to perfect your ads, be sure to emphasize your shape and personality through the photos you post and include in your marketing. An experienced photographer will know how to capture your best angles through the proper poses and lighting. The quality and style of the photos play a crucial role in targeting your luxury clients. Ever see a mediocre photo used to advertise a luxury product? A luxury product uses exceptional quality in every detail. The same should apply to you- your brand from your head to your toes. If you want to market yourself as a luxury provider, all of your photos need to be consistent in quality and style. (The photos should not be pornographic – they can show off your figure in other ways.). Men that seek top companions want to feel that you are highly turned on only with them, or that it takes a special kind of man to bring out your wild side.
Your photos are only as good as your worst photo
A man will be impressed by your best photos, but he will also remember your worst ones. Avoid the tendency to want to post too many images of the similar poses, unless they have something new to offer visually. Less is more. It's better to have eight excellent photos than 20 or more with a few images that do not communicate the same level of luxury and sex appeal. Do not post any picture that is not a 10. Even if you can't afford professional photos, research online about how to take better glamour photos that are flattering until you can afford a to invest in a professional glamour photoshoot. Learn to utilize simple photo editing software to minimize some of the flaws in your photo. Experiment with different angles that catch your best sides, being ever mindful of concealing your face if you're not comfortable with revealing your identity. In addition to covering your face, flattering photos can also help disguise any less appealing areas such as a small tummy pouch, as long as your overall figure is not deceiving. Your outfits and background location in your photos all also need to send the same luxury, exclusive, sensual, message. The professional photographer will also guide you on the styling so that it projects the luxury style, or you can also hire a stylist so that you don't have to stress over having the right outfits and accessories and so that your shoot is all better planned.
Keep Yourself in Good Physical condition but also embrace yourself
Make exercise and fitness a priority if you do not do so already as well always eating a healthy diet. A healthy diet is a lifestyle it's not temporary. Most women do not eat enough protein or fiber and the typical American diet includes too many carbs. Yes, we need carbs for energy but we also need enough protein and fiber. Part of your good physical condition also includes stamina and endurance. As you grow more fit, your endurance for activities with your clients also increases, which is a win-win for both of you. Some clients prefer a lean woman, others like the muscle look on a woman; others, though, simply want a woman to be fit and somewhat toned. While other men are totally into the super curvy women, don't try to be what you are not. Be the best you, you can be. It all starts with accepting yourself and loving the body you have. Read more about embracing yourself: http://www.wikihow.com/Embrace-Your-Flaws To get that shape, work out doing cardio exercises and then focus attention to build your booty. If you're not a busty woman, don't worry about it. If you are a curvy woman, embrace that and use your best assets in your favor. Choose some lingeries that fit perfectly for your body type: read more here: https://sexyluxstudio.com/essays/2019/05/lingerie-for-your-body-type-how-to-balance-your-curves/ Practice elegant, sexy poses in front of the mirror. Search for Ashley Graham on Google images as an example. Remember to market the experience the man will have with your encounter and not just your measurements.
A smile is a universal facial expression: that communicates happiness and men like to be around happy women
Men want to escape the demand and reality of work to a time of relaxed pleasure. A smile can also signal a sign of confidence or agreement. Although women smile more than men, older women smile less than younger women, so if you want to show your youthful side, remember to smile often and especially the first time you meet your client. Many providers think they have to be sullen, pouty and lusty-faced in their photos and person all the time. Clients want to visit with companions who are happy and enjoyable to be around. When you project this through your photos in your marketing, it's a direct way to allow clients to discover that an encounter spent with you is going to be a good time. A smile can speak volumes about your personality and is the best addition to your profile information you can have. If your profile teases the potential client about your sense of humor and attraction to fun, your smile guarantees it. If your profile suggests you're a smart ass, your smile will confirm it. A profile that informs the client you are sweet and kind is validated further with a charming grin. Successful men read lots into the smile you give them; if you don't show your face in your ad, try showing just your lips.
The companions every client wants to book all have great attitudes
A companion that is predominantly negative about everything in her life, including her clients, isn't going to attract much business, especially when word about her outlook becomes known. Professional Men are drawn to women who are upbeat, happy and passionate. They want to spend time with a female who embodies youthful inspiration and optimism. Even if this is difficult for you to master, you need to find a way to project this to clients. After all, you are playing a role a companion. Dig deep within yourself and find your always optimistic young woman as a way to push yourself to be a happier provider. The "it" companions of the moment are likely one who consistently makes her clients feel like they are her favorites and that she loves spending time with them. To become more popular, you must translate your enthusiasm for clients to a passion for them they understand. Don't indulge in self-criticism or disparaging comments against yourself. When clients book encounters, they don't want to spend time building a companion up to feel proud of herself; they want one who is instantly ready to dole out the attention on them.
Confidence equates with Sexiness
Confidence is a huge factor in becoming the coveted companion. When a woman is sure of herself, that comes across as a sign to men that she will be great in bed and that she's someone you want to get to know. Confidence is more important than the size of her breast, or ass, or the narrowness of her waist. Experts always tell people to "fake it until you make it," and this piece of advice rings true for companions, too. If you're not entirely sure of yourself or maintain doubts about your abilities with clients, hide them and pretend they don't exist. Focus on being the best you can be, showcasing your beauty to the max and providing the most fulfilling experiences for clients possible. If you believe in yourself, clients will, too. It's a contagious thing that you can control through projecting self-esteem and contentment with yourself. Practice your confident look in front of the mirror, with friends, and on strangers, you meet throughout your normal day, until it becomes so natural you do it all of the time.
Give some examples and a few details
Even though you may focus on your clients, you must tell them you do in your profile, so they know this. And, it's not enough to blatantly say you provide "client-focused" services. You must explain through examples how you cater to your clients and their needs. Demonstrate that you are concerned with pleasing your clients in ways they want, instead of what makes you happy. Ensure potential clients that their comfort and pleasure is your priority. Emphasize to clients that you are willing to go the extra mile to make them happy. Companions who succeed at high levels provide personalized experiences that are far from hum-drum or typical. They veer from the "usual" in order to make their clients happy through special requests. Tell briefly about your efforts, so other clients know you will go above and beyond for their desires. You will need to provide details about this in your profile and marketing materials in order for clients to fully understand the extent to which you are willing to go to make them happy. Many providers claim this same approach, but they provide no evidence. Think of an example where you made extra effort to give your client something special he wanted. Maybe you made him a birthday cake and sang to him while you were naked. Or, perhaps you worked out a role-play scenario a client had been fantasizing about.
Really Listen to your Clients
A top companion woman markets herself as the best around because she feels she is. When you tell clients something repeatedly, they will begin to believe it. By putting information in your profile or other marketing materials that indicate you are top-rated, most-preferred or simply the best you inject mental attitudes about yourself in your clients' brains. Encourage them to think of you as upscale by labelling yourself as "exclusive" and limiting your availability. (A luxury companion isn't available every time a client tries to book.) Charge rates that make your clients believe you are not the run-of-the-mill companion because men always want the best. Appealing to their desire for quality may earn a higher level of success if you use these tips.

I have been experiencing access issues with 'Manage Hosting' since over a week now. After a valid login, when I click Manage Hosting, the page doesn't load at all, I keep getting the below message on the browser;
This site can't be reached
a2plcpnl0592.prod.iad2.secureserver.net took too long to respond.
I have attached a screenshot as well. I tried connecting to the GoDaddy Online Customer Support two days ago and was informed by the Customer Support Rep about an ongoing server issue. But the issue doesn't seem to be resolved yet. I am experiencing email issues, as the mail doesn't seem to be working.
Would really appreciate if I can get any help or direction to resolve this please.
Thanks very much.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I also have the same issue. I tried several times to the support and they are claiming that they can take my hosting panel from their PC and they are telling that my internet connection is slow. But that is not the real factor and my connection is a 20 Mbps. I have been chasing this for past 1 month.
I have just purchased some hosting and set up the CPanel, but when I open the CPanel I keep getting a message in Chrome that the session has timed out, Press OK to log in again and it's a never ending cycle of logging in and session timing out instantly. I have also tried on Firefox browser and does the same.
Any suggestions?
I have exactly the same problem with it. Please let me know what to do about it, since I haven't been able to get started with the hosting application because of this issue.
I am having the same issue with my site.
I have the same issue. Can somebody explain what's going on?
Hi, I have exactly the same issue. What is wrong with your system?

it's seem you have a problem with your server, I have the same issue my web page give me " your account has been suspended please contact to you host provider "
How can i solve it ?
Me too
using mydomain/cpanel allows me to choose a port - none are blocked and then the page just won't load.

I am also facing the same problem.
Cycling through the cpanel login again and again . Please help Godaddy.
Hi all i got the solution,
For some security reasons the JIO network is being blocked by godaddy servers. We can login from another network providers seamlessly.
Cheers !! Have a nice day!
Hi, I recently received an eail from godaddy stating that I had malware on my site and they removed it. I contacted godaddy live chat to verify everything was ok. It was.
I reset both my godaddy customer password and my FTP username password as well. Still though, when I use my web builder software FTP client or the "network shortcut" I created on my pc, it still logs in fine and I have acces to my files. Shouldn't it not let me log in?
Please help...I just want to make sure I changed the right passwords.
please after change password can not login my cpanel so please help me about two month for this problem please help me
After creating an FTP Account, GoDaddy requires that an XML File be downloaded to
one's Computer.
The XML File is then imported into the Remote Site.
However, the XML File is only 386Kb and none of my data shows on the Remote Site.
This is not solved. There is no solution on this page. I am having the same problem. Please get the hosting panel working. Now.
I'm having the same exact problem as the others in this post. I cannot access the control panel from my Comcast provider but able to access from ATT, Vonage, etc.
Here is my browser connection string :
I've tried everything, called everyone a number of time, but no help so far. I'm at a loss.
+1 more unhappy customer, using cPanel Ultimate
My website has been down for 2 days now, cPanel can't be accessed (neither from my goddady account - "system error, try again...", neither from website.com/cpanel).
I find this situation rather unacceptable.
Same problem.when I click manage hosting,it directs me to cPanle Login page,says IP changed,please login again. I was never able to access my web hosting over last few weeks. Some times I click manage hosting,it says the site can't be reached. It's a horrible experience.
Hello everyone,
I wasn't sure if you all had solved this or not. Id like to share what I experienced and perhaps you could also use the same solution.
I was logged on to my FTP site and was downloading / backing up plugins from my Wordpress folder of one of my websites. Suddenly everything just stopped. At that point I could not log back into the FTP, and to my surprise the websites were not loading. I was at home when all of this happened. Well. At first I thought maybe there was a problem with my PC so grabbed my iPad and it could not access my sites as well. But other sites were working fine.
So like any good IT Engineer I logged into my PC at work using our VPN, and checked my sites from there and they were fine. Everything was working fine. They loaded very quickly without a problem. I tried it several times after clearing DNS Cache etc. They loaded fine on my work PC. Next I opened my FTP client on my work PC and it worked fine.
The problem was here at home.
So here it is, other networks can access my sites but my internet connection could not. Weird huh? Obviously my WAN IP address from my ISP was being blocked by my own web host server, but to what purpose.
It turns out that GO Daddy (our pals) has a filter on their shared host servers that shuts down and blocks IP addresses when multiple connections from the same login occurs within a short period of time.
There is actually a term for this that eludes me at the moment. My FTP client was downloading so fast and using multiple connections to do it that the Go Daddy host server thought it was a hacker trying several methods to break in, because essentially, when a FTP makes a connections and sends a command, it essentially is doing the same thing attempting to make multiple connections, fast from a single point of origin.
I went into my router at home, and set my router to release the IP address and retrieved a new one. As soon as I did that, I could then access my web host server via FTP client, and I could see my sites on the internet thru a web browser as well.
When ever Go Daddy customer service says they can see your site even though you cant, its probably because your host server (or their host server they are letting you lease) has blocked your from seeing it for the purpose I just mentioned. For those of you that do not use FTP clients and still having this problem, some how your home WAN IP address is being blocked.
If you do not use a router at home and are logging into the Internet using your PC, restart it. If you do have a router or static IP form your internet provider get a new static IP.
The quick test to tell if your web site is blocking your home WAN IP address from your Internet service is simple... make sure your smartphone is off of your Wifi connection, then browse to your site with your phone. Or text a friend and have them go to your website to see if its up.
This may not apply to you, but I thought I'd share it anyway.
You are right. It also worked out for me when I connected to another AP. This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen.
Has GoDaddy addressed this? Do they have a fix for this problem - and it *IS* a problem. This keeps happening to us - we lose access to a dozen hosted domains from our XFinity ISP. Then we have to switch over to our HughesNet backup satellite internet but that is much slower than XFinity and is not a permanent solution. The sites are always reachable from other networks and of course their tier 1 tech support just says "Sorry, your server is up - the problem must be with your ISP". My tracert shows the packets dissapearing into the gaping maw of GoDaddy:

http://blogkeep.com/how-to-access-cpanel-of-my-website/ first try to access cPanel by mentioning in the guide, if it doesn't work, then you may reach to Support team
As per Karishma123's link, try accessing your cpanel hosting site by going to www.yourdomain.com/cpanel instead of by starting from the GoDaddy website. It worked for me!!
Thanks man, i think i have same issue. I was working with FileZilla when i started bugging about to many connections. Then wanted to release this connection from cPanel. But needed to reset pword cause i had forgotten it:)
Now cant do **bleep** there! I really hate Godaddy, really dont understand how they can be so big with a product thats **bleep**ty, doesnt work and super slow loading for backend management...

really frustrating

Click Here for SugarComa Photos:
Last Saturday morning I photographed the a.m. SugarComa tour.
Organized by The Broke Socialite, SugarComa is a tour of some of Atlanta's finest bakeries. Essentially 30 people hopping into four brand new Cadillac SRX's and criss-crossing Atlanta to devour some awesome sugar specialties. Sadly, I was only able to shoot the a.m. tour since Leah and I were scheduled to shoot a SteamPunk Ball later that evening. Still – SugarComa was considerably awesome.
It was an interesting event in that most of the attendees were a mixture of hyphenates: PR – Marketer – Blogger – Cook – Baker – Mother – Teacher – Photographer – Stylist – Foodie – Freelancer – Writer – Author – Columnist – Editor – Etc. Seriously – the case can be made that some of the people have ALL of those descriptions on their resumes. Yeah. Not only that, but this was also a full-on Twitter event. Before, during, and after each stop the attendees would twitter various ummm… tweets? Yeah. Check the hashtag #SugarComa on Twitter and you'll see them all.
Now with the obligatory disclaimer (this may be cheesy) – I'm honestly always impressed by full-blown-all-out-passion. Whether it's B-boys all over the world, a deaf percussionists teaching people how to listen, or Kristen Hard of Cacao. When she describes how she ventured off into the jungles of Central America in search of cocoa beans – along with the part where it's unheard of that a woman do this – along with the very real risk involved – it's difficult to not be impressed if not inspired. I was also fortunate enough to be riding along with Shameeka�The Broke Socialite herself, Helen of Tartelette and her friend Bina. I say fortunate because these women are very passionate about living with intention – whether you consider their careers, their art, writing, cooking, or raising their children – they go all out – and it's always a good thing when you're around that kind of energy.
I think it definitely helped with our portrait booth later that evening at the SteamPunk Ball.
Hey. It's Tuesday.

Restoring your iPhone and re-jailbreaking, and wondering how to save your App Store app data? We recently checked out how to use appbackup to save App store app data but now there's a new app on the block called DataDeposit. What's unique about DataDeposit is that you won't need to save any files via SSH or iPhone Explorer. It simply backs up your app data to your Dropbox account. Awesome, right? Hit the jump for a quick walkthrough!
Backing up your app data
- Download DataDeposit from Cydia
- Make sure any apps that you want to back up are not running in the multitasking tray. If they are, simply close them out. (I completely emptied out my multitasking tray before backing up data.)
- From the main screen, select Backup my save data. You'll be prompted to sign into your Dropbox account if you haven't already done so.
- DataDeposit will populate a list of apps you have installed. Tap the app you would like to create a backup for and select Backup.
- Once you're done backing up all the apps you'd like to be able to restore, go ahead and restore your device and re-jailbreak.
Restoring your app data
- Once you have re-jailbroken your device, re-download DataDeposit from Cydia.
- Launch DataDeposit and this time you'll select Restore from Dropbox.
- DataDeposit will automagically populate all the apps you have restore points for in Dropbox. Simply go through the list and restore any backups you'd like. Again, make sure they aren't running in the multitasking tray.
- You're done!
I didn't have too many issues with DataDeposit but there were a few instances where a backup didn't sync up to Dropbox for some reason. So before restoring, I'd make sure your backups really are in Dropbox. I have Dropbox installed on my iMac so I made sure my Mac gave me a notification that it received the backup file for an app before I proceeded onto the next one. If you have issues uploading to Dropbox, there is a setting under change options that allows you to turn off HTTPS uploading to Dropbox. Try that if uploads or downloads fail.
I would really like to see a backup and restore all option added at some point too. Either way, DataDeposit definitely made it a bit less painless to restore a jailbroken iPhone. If you guys try it out, let us know what you think!
