Daily fantasy football is in a weird spot this week, as week 14 provides six divisional showdowns and six games overall between teams with .500 records or better.
With so much on the line, this week could provide some tough defensive battles, which may mean DFS production across the board could suffer.
Last week certainly saw some of that, so it could be more important than ever to load up on studs and hope your NFL DFS sleepers pan out. One way to make sure that ends up happening is to target the best possible daily fantasy football value picks. Matchup and talent play a key role, but sometimes a price is so obvious, you can't bypass a player.
That figures to be the case with several options at DraftKings this week. Let's take a closer look and see which NFL DFS value picks should be in play for week 14:
It's crazy to say it, but Aaron Rodgers might be the best pure NFL DFS value play for week 14. Sure, he has been dealing with a bad hamstring and a tough Seattle defense is in town, but when you can get a fantasy beast like A-Rod for less than $6.5k, you don't think twice.
Adding to the allure is Rodgers' ability to win despite his ailment, as he still managed a solid 16 fantasy points last week against a solid Texans defense. Seattle is a better unit, but they'll be without stud safety Earl Thomas (broken leg) and that could be huge for Rodgers. None of this locks Rodgers in as an elite DFS play, but he's at home in a game the Packers have to have. Betting against him feels unwise.
Andy Dalton has the better matchup and might be safer, of course. He's taking on a Brown team that has zero wins and ranks 31st against fantasy passers in 2016. Dalton will still be without star wide receiver A.J. Green, but he has enough weapons to produce at a solid level.
Carson Palmer looks like a solid play in week 14, too, as he's fresh off of fantasy outing (26 fantasy points) and like Rodgers, needs to keep winning games for his Cardinals. He has a solid enough matchup, too, with Miami ranking just 28th against quarterbacks in fantasy circles. Oh, and after Joe Flacco just obliterated them, Palmer is looking even better.
The true value play just might end up being Eli Manning, as he's insanely cheap ahead of a huge battle with the Cowboys. Manning rocked Dallas in week one (3 TDs) and could easily do so again, as he'll be at home, where he averages over 20 fantasy points per contest. He could also take a dive like he did last week (just 13 fantasy points), but this game is as big as it gets and he's too cheap to ignore.
Running back looks like a pretty stacked position these days, as you have to pay quite the price to get the top studs. David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell will undoubtedly be popular plays, but with somewhat questionable matchups, it's not crazy to think they fail to exceed their lofty expectations.
Whether that happens or not, paying down at running back makes sense, especially with so much interesting value at hand. Devonta Freeman kicks that notion off, as he's barely over $6.1k and is coming off of two straight gems (21 and 26 fantasy points). Freeman has a nice matchup, as he gets a Rams run defense that ranks 31st against running backs over the last four weeks.
There is a lot of value to be had at the running back position, as Jeremy Hill is also pretty cheap despite being pretty consistent (10+ fantasy points in five of his last six games). Hill doesn't explode much, but he could this week in a tasty matchup with a bad Browns defense. Cleveland has improved slightly over their last four games, but on the year they still rank just 31st against fantasy running backs.
It is tough to be all in on the likes of Carlos Hyde, Todd Gurley or Lamar Miller this week, but they're all so cheap that we have to pay them notice. Gurley has been tough to trust all season, but here he is again at a fantastic price and he gets a Falcons defense ranking 30th against running backs in 2016. The situation is about as nice for Miller, who gets a Colts defense giving up the 8th most fantasy points to runners this year.
Lastly, we should consider the seasoned Frank Gore, who doesn't explode much, but has been very reliable all year long. He could be in another fine spot, as he put up a solid 14.8 fantasy points the last time he took on the Texans.
Wide receiver is loaded in week 14, making it one of the best positions to pay up at. That doesn't mean there isn't value, as Tyrell Williams heads a solid list of cheap options that could pay off.
Tyrell Williams has stepped up for the Chargers lately, producing 10+ fantasy points in five of his last six contests. With Philip Rivers trusting him as San Diego's top weapon in the passing game these days, Williams looks like a fine play versus a Carolina secondary ranking just 30th against wide receivers on the year.
Emmanuel Sanders looks to be in a good spot in week 14, as Trevor Siemian is due back and the Broncos face a bad Titans defense. Tennessee has specifically had issues with opponent's passing games, as they've allowed the third most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2016.
Seattle presents a tough matchup for the Packers, but they'll be without their top cover safety and Davante Adams has been prone to some big games this year. He could be in for another big one in week 14, as Richard Sherman will likely be busy covering Jordy Nelson. Even if Adams doesn't score, his should have a high volume role and rack up a good amount of receptions.
We shouldn't forget about DeSean Jackson and his big play ability, especially as he heads back to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Jackson is always a threat to spring a long touchdown, but that could especially be the case this week when he takes on an Eagles pass defense that ranks 30th over the last four weeks.
Tight end could be a tough position to excel at in week 14, as Rob Gronkowski is out for the year and Jordan Reed won't be 100% healthy if he plays. That hurts the position at the top, but with Greg Olsen's price reduced due to a poor run as of late, he could be one of the better value plays.
Olsen was a monster in 2015 and has certainly had his moments this year, but he's been quiet for roughly a month. Week 14 could bring out the best in him, as Olsen and his Panthers face a Chargers defense that has been an average unit against the position in 2016.
Zach Ertz might end up being a more comfortable play, as he put up a nice line last week and has a better matchup by the numbers in week 14. Ertz has been very hit or miss all year long, but perhaps a date with a Redskins defense that has ranked 26th versus tight ends over the last four games could make him more enticing than usual.
Ladarius Green was looking like a bust all summer, but finally blew up last week and is now without a doubt one of the top value plays going into week 14. He may not be quite as big as he was last week (26 fantasy points), but the talent, role and price all combine to make him an excellent value pick.
C.J. Fiedorowicz is shaping up as a fine play in week 14, as he's maintained a steady role in Houston's weak passing game. The Texans take on a weak Colts defense that ranks just 24th against the tight end position on the year, as well. The odds look good that Fiedorowicz could top 10+ fantasy points for the third time in four games.
Picking the right defense is extremely problematic on a weekly basis, but week 14 figures to provide plenty of suitable options. Miami is usually a reliable unit to roll with, and despite a bad showing in week 13, they could again be in play. Of course, your perspective on the Dolphins may hinge on how you think Carson Palmer will fare.
Indianapolis and San Francisco aren't normally reliable defenses in daily fantasy football, but they could be in week 14. The Colts and 49ers both have very positive matchups, with Indianapolis facing a lethargic Houston offense, while San Francisco gets Bryce Petty and the Jets. The Colts and 49ers are risky plays, but they are cheap and could easily end up panning out.
The Buccaners have to be one of the top value plays this week, as they are on quite a roll these days. Playing anyone against an explosive Saints offense is dangerous, but Drew Brees and co. will be on the road in Tampa Bay and they tend to struggle away from home. Tampa Bay's recent play is rather inspiring, as their defense has produced 12+ fantasy points in three of their last four games (all wins).

Customer Profile
StepStone, one of Europe's leading providers of total talent management software addresses the challenges of multiple developer sites using Perforce Helix.
StepStone is a leading international provider of human capital management (HCM) software and services. Its technology and services helps organisations attract, retain and develop their talent. StepStone was founded in Norway in 1996 and listed on the Oslo Børs ([email protected] STP.NO) in 2000 and the London Stock Exchange (LSE: STPS) in 2008.

These services include; attraction and hiring, post-hire talent management, performance management, compensation management, skills and competency management, career and succession planning, training, and development management.
Development Challenge
In today's economic environment, IT Directors and CXOs are demanding IT affordability, shorter implementation cycles, and scalability more than ever. Fortunately, all of this can be delivered by the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, the benefits of which include rapid access to new technology and the ability to roll out IT services to extra users easily.
StepStone is an example of a company that has the flexibility to react quickly to user and market demand using SaaS. Although the company is best known for its online recruitment services, or "job boards," the other side of StepStone's business is concerned with delivering talent management software solutions via SaaS, ranging from candidate screening and performance management, through to career and succession planning and even retirement.
However, while the SaaS business model provides some very clear benefits, customers are more technology savvy these days with the prevalence of Web 2.0; they are very aware of new technology developments and, not surprisingly, expect these to be reflected in StepStone's products.
In keeping up with market demands, StepStone is both helped and hindered by the fact that its developers are based in multiple locations around the world. On the one hand, having teams in Germany, Norway, Poland, UK, and Vietnam gives the company access to considerable, flexible developer resources on an around-the-clock basis. On the other hand, this approach could make it difficult to ensure cohesive working across all teams, if not managed correctly.
Fortunately, StepStone's software developers have addressed these challenges by using version control. By providing efficient tracking of a project's progression, regardless of how dispersed the developer teams may be, Perforce Helix enables StepStone to dramatically speed up release cycles and keep up with customer expectations.
Nigel Reed, Head of Software Engineering, explains: "Perforce Helix enables us to connect everyone to a central repository to track and manage code, wherever our developer teams are based. In turn, this supports faster release cycles."
Centralizing Version Control
Prior to the implementation of Helix, the company had been using Helix to manage code for several years, although different Helix systems were used in various teams. When Reed took on the role of Director of Software Engineering, he saw the benefits of connecting everyone to one central version control repository and initiated the migration process.
StepStone researched the market thoroughly before making a decision. "We looked at what version control systems were available, including open source options, taking into account the availability or lack of technical support, and how well they integrated with third-party vendors. A lot of our developers are working in a Microsoft environment and open source versioning doesn't lend itself well to that. Helix has considerable third-party vendor support and as there's such a wide range of plug-ins available, we've been able to use Helix off the shelf. The support for developers' desktop tools — Visual Studio, Java, Perl and Eclipse — has been particularly important to us."
Nigel Reed also cites performance as a key factor in choosing Helix. "Compared to some version control packages, Helix is a hundred times faster. Other products performed acceptably over remote links, but Helix was still two or three times faster than the nearest competitor. This is a big advantage for us: it would have been impossible to have got everyone on a central repository and efficiently linked remotely without Helix."
Migrating to Helix
The process of bringing Helix on board took place in the first few months of 2008 with a single pilot group to test how well developers would handle the switch. Administrators were trained on Helix and in turn trained other developers within StepStone. At the beginning of 2009, around 75 employees were using Helix, including approximately 50 developers, business analysts, and QA and release teams, all of whom needed access and visibility to current projects. Although Helix is primarily used for managing code, it is also being used to publish and share some of their documentation. The online job board side of StepStone will also make the transition to Helix upon completion of its own pilot.
Now that Helix is well-established within StepStone, what is Nigel Reed's verdict? "Helix is known for its performance and has lived up to its reputation. Standardizing on Helix has represented a real change in terms of the functionality available to us, particularly for branching and proxy support."
The Helix proxy is a self-maintaining proxy server that caches versioned files for re-use on any local network with remote access to Helix Core. Any number of proxies can be quickly deployed without requiring additional hardware or software. Says Nigel Reed, "The support for proxies has been fantastic. It is very easy to set up a local proxy and it doesn't take hours: you just install it and it works."
The branching feature — which includes a revision graph tool that visualizes who has changed what and where — has also proved its value to StepStone. "The branching function is so well handled within Helix that we can have a more robust strategy for managing code lines. For instance, we will have code lines open for the various releases. When the release goes out, we can still carry out maintenance, with separate code lines for patches."
Although switching to Helix has inevitably presented a learning curve for developers, Nigel Reed believes it has been worthwhile. "Helix is the 'Rolls Royce' of version management and its functionality has enabled our developers to perform actions that were not possible before. For instance, they can now execute a three-way merge, so Helix has added to their skills and experience."
"We've now got a solid, central repository that links all our developer teams, regardless of location and enables us to meet rapid release timescales efficiently and quickly. However fast technology changes, with Helix, we can keep up with market demands."

Art Journal pages with Neil today and a Halloween theme too. He completely forgot about the Oil Pastels for this week (did not read the small print he said LOL), but I'm sure you can think of quite a few ideas after the techniques you saw this week...
Let me help you... you could used Gio/Isa's Joseph's coat techniques for the page background, or on the little tag... you could add an oil pastel drip on the top of the page... you could "ink up" the edges of that skull stamped image by using the oil pastels with an applicator as Michelle showed you.... you could even use the oils pastels in several colours to highlight the texture on the side of the page.
Try it!! you will love it I'm sure.
I will now let Neil tell you how he did his page.
The skull was stamped onto white card, scrunched up and Distress ink pads swiped over the surface in Forest Moss and Walnut Stain. This was sprayed with water to blend and move the colours before ironing flat and dry! The edges were distressed and inked. Small brads were attached and the piece was attached to the page on 3 sides with double sided tape to create a pocket to slip a little extra tag/journalling

Faculty of Psychology, UIN News Online – Center for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM) UIN Jakarta held a national publication seminar entitled "Guru Agama, Toleransi, dan Isu-isu keagamaan Kontemporer di Indonesiaâ€. The event took place at Prof. Dr. Zakiah Daradjat theater room, Faculty of psychology UIN Jakarta, Thursday, (12/15).
This seminar aims to discuss the finding from the research that is expected to become the new viewpoints related to the perception of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers in both public and private schools regarding with the tolerance issue in Indonesia.
Present in the seminar, PPIM Addivosy Board Jamhari PhD, the Head of PPIM Prof Saiful Umam PhD, Dean of the Faculty of Psychology UIN Jakarta Prof Dr Abdul Mujib, and Senior Researchers from PPIM. Also present as the speakers, Secretary General of Teachers and Education Personnel (GTK) of the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemdikbud) Dr Nurzaman, Director of Islamic Education, Islamic Education Directorate, Ministry of Religious Affairs Dr. Imam Syafi'I, M.Pd, the Chairman of the board of Nahdlatul Ulama Drs Imam Aziz and the General Secretary of PP Muhammadiyah Dr Abdul Mu'ti.
In his remarks, Jamhari explained that there are many contrast disagreements between the public schools teacher and madrasahs teacher point of view, especially in terms of the nationality. "The majority of teachers agree with the plurality of religion in Indonesia and the 1945 constitution. But on the other hand, there is a strong aspiration of the sharia law application. That's the conclusions that we found in five provinces covering eleven districts/cities in Indonesia,†he said.
He also added that the results of this study are expected to be studied further at the Ministry of Education level as a state institution which is responsible for both public and private schools and the Ministry of Religious Affairs which is responsible for private and public Madrasahs, both at the Tsanawiyah and Aliyah.
In the same place, Dr Abdul Mu'ti says that more attention needed for the maker of PAI teachers. Because the appropriateness between the PAI teachers and their level of education can affect the way they deliver the learning materials. (ika p/umar)

This Perfect Keto review will explain how this exogenous ketone has helped me conquer one of the biggest hurdles when going on a low carb high fat ketogenic lifestyle – having to almost completely cut carbs out of your diet. It's not until you actually experience the tremendous benefits of being in a state of ketosis do you realize how it all ends up being worth it.
When you first try to cut carbs out of your diet, the cravings come back stronger but you shouldn't worry. This is temporary and things will get easier over time.
Just like anything else worth it in life, you need to have patience.
As your body is deprived of carbohydrates, you eventually start to burn fat for energy rather than glucose (from carbohydrates).
This is when the magic happens.
You begin to experience a mental clarity that you have never felt before, you start to feel better in every way, and fat is literally melting off your body at this point.
I'm going to be explaining in this article how exogenous ketones have helped me with the transition to living a ketogenic lifestyle. I'll also be giving you my recommendation on how to use them.
What Are Exogenous Ketones?
There are endogenous ketones and exogenous ketones.
Endogenous ketones are ketone bodies that our body produces when you have eliminated carbohydrates from your body. Your body then looks for other sources of energy and begins to produce ketones.
Exogenous ketones are simply ketone bodies that are consumed as a nutrition supplement.
This means you can receive the benefits of being in a state of ketosis even if you have been eating carbohydrates.
Exogenous ketones are new to the ketogenic industry and has completely changed the way that you can approach this diet – especially as a beginner.
Click here to grab yourself exogenous ketones and start burning fuel for energy.
Benefits of Exogenous Ketones
With the help of exogenous ketone supplementation, the low carb high fat way of eating has become tremendously easy to stick to.
If you haven't tried cutting carbs out of your diet before, there is a process that occurs called the "keto flu"
This is when you begin to display symptoms of the flu – headache, cramps, feeling cold, body aches.
Why is that? Couple reasons.
- Your body has been so used to eating carbs as its direct form of energy. Think about it. Our whole lives we have been told to eat carbohydrates. We have been told that the majority of our calories should come from carbs. By cutting carbs out, your body going through a withdrawal phase. This is when you experience symptoms of the flu.
- Lack of electrolytes. When you cut out carbohydrates, your body goes into a diuretic stage and begins to get rid of tons of water as well as electrolytes in your body. If you aren't careful enough to replenish those vital electrolytes – you will get the keto flu.
With the help of exogenous ketones, your body will have the additional aid from exogenous ketones.
Think about it like this, your consuming these little ketone bodies that will hold your hand while you convert into another form of energy.
As you know, the beginning of anything is always the hardest. The ketogenic diet is no different, it's going to feel like absolute hell for the first couple days (that's if you don't supplement with exogenous ketones)
Without further ado, here is my Perfect Keto review and why I recommend it so much.
What is Perfect Keto?
Perfect Keto is a company who prides themselves on high-quality ingredients while still being affordable.
Their most popular and effective supplement is called Perfect Keto Base. This is their exogenous ketone supplement that we were just talking about earlier.
Perfect Keto Base is an exogenous ketone supplement that is made with naturally derived ketone salts and consists of beta hydroxybutyrate, calcium, magnesium, and natural flavors.
The Science Behind Ketosis
If you don't know how ketosis works, let me tell you very quickly how it works. When your body is used to eating carbohydrates (pastas, bread, candy, beer, etc.) then you are using glucose as your primary source of energy.
But, when you deprive your body of carbohydrates, then your body starts to look for other sources of fuel for energy.
Eventually when you have no more glucose to burn for energy, your body then creates an even more efficient form of energy called ketone bodies. This is considered being in a state of ketosis.
Now, our bodies actually PREFER this form of fuel for energy.
When we are in ketosis, you'll notice that you feel amazing. You'll have untapped energy that you never knew you had. You'll have the mental clarity and focus you used to have when you were younger.
My Personal Perfect Keto Review
Now that the ketogenic diet has become a widespread phenomenon in the health industry, companies all across the world are creating ketone supplements every day.
Honestly, Perfect Keto is one of the only exogenous ketone supplements that I can actually recommend.
Why is that?
For one, it actually works. Some of the other ketone supplements I have tried out there, are definitely filled with a bunch of fillers and just doesn't work as effectively.
Second, the price is actually affordable.
If you scour the internet, you'll see that people are charging an arm and a leg for ketone supplements. Perfect Keto is completely affordable and is made of high-quality ingredients.
How Does It Taste?
My Perfect Keto Review is going to go over the two flavors that are currently out at the moment.
They have:
- Chocolate Sea Salt
- Peaches & Cream
Personally, I like the chocolate sea salt because I love chocolate. When I first tried them out, I mixed them with water and they didn't taste bad. But, once I was recommended to try mixing it with unsweetened almond milk, it was an absolute game changer.
I urge you to try it!
Exogenous ketones are known to not taste that great but in all honesty, Perfect Keto Base actually taste pretty good and you won't even realize that you're consuming ketones.
Perfect Keto as a Nootropic
First of all, a nootropic is a "brain supplement". It basically consists of any supplement that helps your brain function more optimally and helps you focus better.
The reason I dropped carbs in the first place was because of all the good things I was hearing about eating a ketogenic diet. I wanted to feel the mental benefits that everyone kept talking about.
I wanted to feel the focus and mental clarity that people praised.
Well let me tell you, when I supplemented with Perfect Keto, the results were staggering.
I had a sense of calm focus when I was doing work that I had never felt before. It wasn't like the jittery feeling you get when you drink too much coffee, rather, I felt a sense of serene focus where I felt like I was able to do whatever the task at hand was with no stress at all.
Does Perfect Keto Really Work?
With all of information out there, the different exogenous ketones you can pick from, it can feel like you don't know what will work and what won't.
With that being said, I can say this with a 100% guarantee that the Perfect Keto Base ketone supplement is one of the highest-quality exogenous ketones I have tried so far.
Personally, to test this, I actually went a couple weeks of eating carbs and trying to stay OUT of ketosis.
After about 2 and a half weeks, I then proceeded to take Perfect Keto Base to see if it would get me back into a ketogenic state. So about an hour after consuming a couple servings of Perfect Keto Base, I tested myself with a ketone meter and voila.
My ketone meter indicated that I was around 1.1 mM.
My honest recommendation
All in all, I can't emphasize how much I recommend Perfect Keto Base. Like I said before, there aren't many products out there that are going to give you such a good bang for your buck….
While still working at its' utmost capability.
With everything mentioned above, you might be wondering if Perfect Keto Base is actually going to help you lose weight.
The answer is yes. By transitioning into a state of ketosis through the consumption of exogenous ketones, you will stop having the sudden cravings for food and hunger pangs.
Using Perfect Keto Base is only going to HELP you even MORE when it comes to losing weight.
On top of that, you're going to literally be burning fat off of your body while at the same time, feeling the mental clarity and focus gained from being in a ketogenic state.
It's like theres everything to gain and nothing to lose.
You can grab your own Perfect Keto Base exogenous ketones here.
I hope you enjoyed this perfect keto review and learned a few things about how being in ketosis can quite frankly transform your weight, energy, and focus in life.

My normal morning routine of reading the Washington Post and New York Times has been flooded with horrendous events lately. I want to say that I am not scared for the future of our nation, but if I said that, I would be lying.
All I want to do at this very moment is give people who are affected by our worldwide violence a big hug. Usually, hugs make everything better, but in this case, I don't know what to do. For the first time in a long while, I feel helpless and lost about the uncertain future of our world.
I am normally the one who sees the world from a glass half full perspective. Right now, it is so hard to live that way when we are bombing innocent people and destroying lives. If that glass was filled with anything at this moment, it would be the tears of mankind. I am crying for the lives lost and affected by violence brought on by hate.
We have a saying at Southern Miss from the amazing Dr. Joe Paul, and it is to leave a place better than you found it. I want to do that for the world. I think that my generation is wondering how when so many terrible events have happened. It is impossible to know where to begin when we do not know how it will end up. However, as history shows, we have the ability to persist. Our world leaders have heavily discouraged the idea of a resistance, but in order to initiate the change we want. we must. In the words of the fabulous Hillary Rodham Clinton, we must "resist, insist, persist, and enlist. It is through the help of our worldwide resistance that things will start to point in the right direction.
I am proud to be an American, but I cannot be a proud American when our president is breaking up families and harming innocent people. If he is doing it to innocent people, what will happen when he steps on enemy lines? Another war is almost certain to happen at this rate, and I am scared of what is coming to us. With failed missile strikes already happening and directed at the United States, it is scary. What I have had to come to the realization of is that it is okay to be scared. Just as it was fine to get upset over the election results, it is okay to be scared. It's what we do with the tears that will define our millennial legacy. While we could easily turn our tears into bullets, let's turn them into hugs.
I know how easy it is to want to stick your middle fingers in the air and take a dose of Screwitol, but we cannot afford to do that. We have to become the architects for future generations and build the structure of our future on the foundation of our ancestors. We may build walls, but there will always be a window to let light in.

luv Arora talks about Mobile Applications
Appily Ever After
Oct 19, 2016
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my palm
Sep 28, 2015
by luv Arora
Mobile applications are paving way for all kinds of exciting and new business ideas as being extremely popular at the moment. The most important thing when developing an app would be having the right approach.
Being a mobile app development company who have been developing their own apps and has also helped its clients get their app ideas in the app store, we have seen our piece of mistakes.Here are 7 of the top mistakes you should avoid when developing your next app:
Testers are important for a reason. Knowing everything about your app is good, but it is the valuable outside perspective that will be most important to catch issues with your app.There can be different instances, maybe the communication for the in-app purchases are not clear enough, Or maybe placement of ads is making the whole experience feel a bit cluttered.
The app was built by you so it gets harder for you to pinpoint these major flaws in the app which a third party can. The main aim is to enhance the use experience which a neutral userperspective can help in.
Get a small group of friends and family (or freelance testers from Crowd sourced testing ) to test the app. Some bugs or usability flaws are bound to appear, which would have been invisible till them, but will now appear to be quite obvious.
With over one million apps on both the Apple App Store & Google Play, your app will be in a very competitive place.
It is recommended to focus on one platform first so as to avoid doubling of engineering costs. This also help get your minimum viable product (MVP) out in the app store faster. Also, if you plan to launch the app on both platforms together and if you have a design or functionality change, then you will have to do it in both the places which will add more development time and cost.
It's better to finalize an app on Android and have a couple of iterations before porting it to IOS (or vice versa).
Good user experience is about doing more with less as its important to have a core set of features with your first version as you want to prove the core essence of he app to see if the users are willing to adopt it.
If you have an existing web site, don't try to put in the online experience into the mobile screen. It's important to rethink your entire interactions on mobile and user flow and not replicate the online experience.Rethinking the entire user flow is important as interactions on mobile is way too different from interactions in online experience.
A bad start with mobile users giving 1-star reviews is something difficult to recover from. Launch with core features and let user feedback and analytics be your guide in product development.
Care has to be taken in sending notifications to the right person at the right time because an excess of these pop-up notifications can turn out to be annoying and a threat to business growth. Though pop-up notifications have become an essential part of smart phones as they are considered as an essential medium to engage users. You can give the option to be selective by setting up a custom alert section where they can choose for what they would want a notification. Other option can be sending notifications as per Geo-targetting.
Apple has set the bar with its elegant product design & user experience. You can hand over your iPad or iPhone to a toddler and they will immediately know how to use it.
When a user downloads the app,he/she needs to be able to find a smooth way to operate and go through the features & functions ,the lacking of which can be bad for the app in the longer period.While a user might still put up with bad design and user interface, but a user will give up on the app if it is too difficult to use.
The company developing the app should make sure that they are able to have logical and well connected levels to make it easy for the user accessing the content. As users already don't like the activity of searching a particular content on the app so its better to design and have levels according to that.A mobile user has different expectations than the one on the web. Intuitive and self describing are the two main things that a mobile experience should be based on.

Here's a side of health insurance that most consumers haven't considered. Aside from the occasional hilarious or inappropriate commercial that you see, you probably don't remember many of them. But as Americans get closer to the date where health insurance coverage is federally mandated, look for insurance companies to amp up their advertising campaigns in some interesting ways. Kaiser Health News' Sarah Varney discusses how "Marketing health insurance may be funny business" in the days to come. Kaiser spoke with a viral marketing agency in New York City to find out where the difficulties lie for health insurance marketers and what you can expect in the upcoming months.
Many customers will start shopping for their health insurance coverage in the online insurance exchanges. Others will take more traditional routes, but the overall landscape will be different. Before the Affordable Care Act, people were turned down for insurance coverage because of pre-existing conditions and they are still angry about that. Some customers saw premium increases up to quadruple what they had originally paid for their health insurance. Regardless of what they have done in the past, good or bad, many consumers have negative opinions about insurance companies and how they treat their customers. It's a perfect time for insurers to catch the eye of consumers in a good way and get a positive perception out there.
It can be difficult to tell one insurance company from another sometimes. Whether it is Care First, Anthem, or PacifiCare doesn't necessarily matter to most consumers. What matters first is that insurance companies get their name out there and then take good care of their customers. In order to get their name to the general public, health insurers may start following in the footsteps of car insurance companies by using humor. Everyone knows Geico's gecko and Progressive's Flo, but who can name a health insurance company "mascot?" The marketing expert believes that we will see a lot more of the humorous and comical when it comes to our health insurance ads.
He also points out that ads are going to be targeted a lot more to young and healthy people. They have been the least likely to buy individual health insurance plans partly because some think they are unlikely to get sick and partly because they make less money and are not willing to spend it on insurance. The benefit isn't as obvious as it may be with older consumers. But with the government requirement impending, insurers might start marketing their names and logos in places where the youngest, healthiest people will see it. Perhaps you'll see an Angry Birds character or a Jersey Shore-like show advertisement related to drinking. In addition to being inundated with a new type of advertising, we will probably see insurers offering more reward programs for staying with their company. You might get an i-tunes or Starbucks gift card for maintaining good health and sticking with your insurer for five years. It costs a lot of money to find a customer to replace you.
As customers become even more valuable to health insurance companies, consumers will be a little more in control over their plans. Expect insurance companies to fight to get you and fight to keep you.

Dear Church Members and Friends of St. Luke's Lutheran Church,
Our church bears the name of the great Reformer, Martin Luther, who rediscovered the basic teaching of Jesus in the New Testament and used every means available of his time to spread the Good News. Getting back to the basics of following Jesus meant a great number of reforms to the practices of the Church 500 years ago.
Among them was the reality that salvation was a free-gift of grace to believers by the work of Jesus Christ and one received it with faith in him. A person's self-worth or true identity is not what he or she does or possesses, but in what God alone promises through Jesus Christ. Money or worldly success is not the Lord of life, but receiving God's gift of life and sharing it with the neighbor and building up the community is the call of our Lord! God is our only true treasure and therefore through faith in Him we are free to live generous lives.
Before the Reformation movement, Christians gave money to the institution of the church so that God would be persuaded or appeased to grant mercy or wishes based on what kind of gift the giver gave to the church! But now the Church teaches what Jesus taught--He alone offers the mercy and grace every one of us needs! The Church tells the good news that God can't be bought.
Out of thanksgiving for Jesus Christ, the believer strives for the tithe or 10% of labor's reward, but many workers would be better off to give less so that they can properly meet their needs and others need to give more to keep wealth from becoming an idol, leading many to abandon following the Lord.
But, by faith alone in the word of God, we can become generous givers who follow the Lord! Giving out of thanksgiving for what we have first received and joining the church by giving it support to share the good news (Matt. 10:10; Luke 10:7: I Cor. 9:6-14; 1 Tim. 5:17-18) and offering to help the church's mission to help those who need help the most (I Tim 6:17-19; 2 Cor. 8-9).
Let's celebrate the Reformation with God's Word that frees our hearts and minds from the worry over money. Let's step out in faith for the one who provides for us and return the blessing with generous and cheerful financial support to the Gospel through St. Luke's "2017 Current Ministry Budget." It shares the Good News in word and deed, helping those who need help! We are significantly behind our 2017 Current Ministry Budget this year. As a committed member or friend of the Church, please make this your giving priority for the rest of the year.
Freedom to live generously is one of the gifts of the Reformation! Happy 500th to the people of God!
Yours in Christ's Service,
Pastor Keller

Superb food, entrance ramp rather slippy when wet. Great value
Name: Pauline
Date of visit: 05/18
My carer and I stayed at The Esplanade in May 2018. It was my 2nd visit there. I cannot speak highly enough of the hotel itself, proximity to sea front and town...all flat.....the staff, minibus driver...in fact every aspect, but one! The commode wouldn't fit over the loo.
I managed but it would have been better if it had fit.
We are going back next year!

Marijuana Abuse Know What It Is!
Drug addiction and particularly Marijuana Abuse has been pushing youth into the depths of total destruction. They use drugs for recreational purposes but they ignore the fact that drugs stay in their system after long they have given up drug addiction. Regular Marijuana Addiction lets them feel delighted and relaxed. As a long-term conclusion, there is presence of Marijuana Abuse in their system and they are helpless before drug screening tests. Despite you have given up drug addiction, there is no surety that your body is pure or free from drug metabolites. Marijuana stays in the system for a long time thus it leaves a threat of detection even after quitting.
Different kinds of cannabinoids are very active ingredients found in marijuana and highly potent ingredients cause brain damage. Neurologists strictly prohibit from Marijuana Addiction in order to save you from health destroying experience. According to drug experts, Marijuana Abuse overwhelms persons capabilities whilst indulging them into euphoria and relaxation. Marijuana abusers get associated to those places that show connection with marijuana thus they always feel urge for using marijuana again and again.
Marijuana Addiction Test is mandatory and there are great attempts against marijuana at workplaces and schools as well. To stop using marijuana involves an addict into impatience, paranoid, anxious and socially awkward situation. And when there is physical hurdle in your way to beat drug screening test, you will find immediate and effective solution in from of detoxification. Consuming the most recommended detoxification product namely Ultra Cleanse Softgel detoxifies your system. There is no need to make repeated efforts to purify your system for Marijuana Addiction Test when you can do it relying over guaranteed detoxification products.
This is common experience when experts advise to refrain from marijuana, drug abusers find Marijuana Alternative to keep up their drug abusing activities. It happens with students who remain in the world of fantasy and never want to lose it. They become impatient when they find no Marijuana Alternative after giving up drug addiction. There is need to convince them for detoxification and it will be possible through giving them sense of drug addiction and its after effects. Marijuana And Drug Testing both are complementary to each other. When a person consumes marijuana he must have to face drug screening process. Advanced drug testing techniques are available at detox stores. You can perform drug screening test at home or in a lab under the supervision of lab technicians. Present-day detox centers have been contributing their role for successful implementation of Marijuana And Drug Tests.
After realizing the importance of Marijuana And Drug Testing, there is hope to eliminate excessive marijuana addiction. 6-Panel Drug Test is a reliable detoxification product and marijuana drug abusers can use it without leaving the premises of their homes. It not only maintains privacy standard but also flushes out toxins from your system. Being a sensitive sufferer of any ailment, you should consult your physician first then use any detoxification product. www.passusa.com invites all detoxification conscious drug abusers to have a look over guaranteed detox products and tests.

Our European allies are now seeing what comes of a toxic mix of migrants who have been infiltrated by terrorists and isolated, radical Muslim neighborhoods.Cruz says the West has tried to deny the existence of terrorism out of a combination of political correctness and fear, which can no longer be afforded.
We will do what we can to help them fight this scourge, and redouble our efforts to make sure it does not happen here.
We need to immediately halt the flow of refugees from countries with a significant al Qaida or ISIS presence.
We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.
We need to secure the southern border to prevent terrorist infiltration.
And we need to execute a coherent campaign to utterly destroy ISIS.Perhaps rather than rushing toward war mongering and stoking fear, which will inevitably trickle down to America's Muslim population in schools and in public, the conservative Christian should say a prayer for Belgium and the victims rather than advocate for war, suggest a permanent police state for this country's Muslims and perpetuate the evidence-less claim that terrorists are infiltrating the southern border.
The days of the United States voluntarily surrendering to the enemy to show how progressive and enlightened we can be are at an end. Our country is at stake.

5 SA chefs reveal the dishes their mothers taught them to make.
There's not much in the arena of food that most of us love more than our mom's cooking. And chefs are no exception to this rule. No matter whether a chef is celebrated for their intricate molecular gastronomy or a scintillating amuse-bouche, at the end of a hot shift, what most of them really crave is their mom's food.
For almost all of us, our food memories are intertwined with memories of mom, the provider of our very first nourishment in this world. And her home cooking is the muse for many a fine-dining menu. We asked five female chefs to share their mom's signature dish, their favourite food memories of their mother's cooking, and which of her recipes they now pass off as their own.
1. Juliet Randles (The Commissary)
What's your mom's signature dish?
Mac and cheese is definitely my mom's signature dish. I know everyone says their mom's is the best, but my mom's is.
What's your earliest or favourite food memory involving your mom?
I don't think my mom and I have many memories that don't involve food. I think my favourite memory is one in Florence, where we went all out at a trattoria and had the chef bring us whatever he wanted while we tucked into the jug of house wine on the table.
Is there a dish she used to make that you make now?
Being a working mom, she would come home late and throw together a delicious meal. When there was no real plan, it was 'pasta gemors', which involved whatever she could find in the fridge. This is something I often do nowadays.
2. Mokgadi Itsweng (Lotsha)
What's your mom's signature dish?
Lamb and veg stew with dombolo.
What's your earliest or favourite food memory involving your mom?
Growing up, my mother did all the cooking at home. We, the kids, were always the helpers. My job was to peel the garlic and ginger, and then crush it into a paste with a pestle and mortar. I remember being nine years old, with my mom in the kitchen making a fish curry for Easter lunch, Handel's Messiah playing at full blast in the back. The cooking would last for what seemed like hours and at the end of it, my mom would dish out small tasting saucers of curry for the helpers, which we would greedily wolf down with slices of bread. I think my love for food and curry grew from there.
Is there a dish she used to make that you make now?
Her lamb stew with dombolo is still my favourite dish. She made it the 'Zulu' way with lots of black pepper, green peppers, carrots and potatoes. She would always cook the dombolo on top of the stew, with the dombolo soaking up some of the sauce; real comfort food. My mom passed on 20 years ago, and every time I miss her, I cook this dish to connect with her presence.
3. Jessica Spiro
What's your mom's signature dish?
My absolute favourite dish of hers is this tray-baked salmon with green beans, baby tomatoes, anchovies and olives. A real one-pan wonder as she chucks everything in together, and the result is this delicate marriage of punchy flavours and various textures. I always have her make it when I see her.
What's your earliest or favourite food memory involving your mom?
Making chilli con carne and her asking either me, my brother or my father to check the seasoning because she's vegetarian. Despite this, she's obviously a highly intuitive cook as she makes a mean chilli with perfectly balanced spice and heat.
Is there a dish she used to make that you make now?
Probably spaghetti bolognaise. It was the first dish she explained to me over the phone when I moved out of the house, and I used her exact recipe for years. As I've gone through culinary school and cooked (and eaten) more bolognaises, I've adapted and tweaked her recipe, but the bones are still the same and spaghetti bolognaise will forever remind me of my mother (that she also never tasted!).
4. Kamini Pather
What's your mom's signature dish?
South Indian Crab Curry is the one dish that I request every time I visit Durban. It's an elegant combination of my grandmother's masala made from roasted whole spices and fresh coconut. It's eaten with basmati rice and dal over a long, languid lunch, because getting the delicate crab meat out of its shell takes a little longer, but is worth every second spent around the table with the family.
What's your earliest or favourite food memory involving your mom?
My mum and I would make Queen Cakes together. I would cream the sugar and butter and always make an excuse about why my thumb would need to dip into the sugary bowl. And, of course, the only way to clean said thumb now covered in granular buttercream was to lick it. Yum.
Is there a dish she used to make that you make now?
Green bean curry. The trick with this is the way that the beans are slivered instead of being chopped into chunky pieces. Green bean curry is a sweeter curry that I love to eat with parathas. The next morning, I add a scrambled egg and eat it on toast. That's the best!
5. Jessica Shepherd (The Table)
What's your mom's signature dish?
My mom's standout dish is her lemon meringue pie. It has just the right amount of lemon versus sweetness, and a mountain of meringue that is perfectly crisp on the outside and marshmallowy on the inside.
What's your earliest or favourite food memory involving your mom?
My mom was always baking. From when myself and my sisters were very young, our mom would supply a local coffee shop and home industry with cakes, as well as do private orders for speciality wedding and birthday cakes. The kitchen was always full of freshly baked cake layers, rusks, crumpets and THAT lemon meringue pie. She also used to make these beautifully iced heart-shaped biscuits for us to hand out in class on Valentine's Day. It influenced me greatly as I thought one day, I'm also going to bring people happiness through delicious things.
Is there a dish she used to make that you make now?
Of course. I will often request a recipe from my mom's now decades-old recipe journal, most recently her carrot cake.

Below is their full announcement with comments from Dixie:
Anthem Sports & Entertainment Forms Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC., Acquires Control of IMPACT Wrestling
Toronto, Canada (January 4, 2017) - Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a majority interest in TNA IMPACT Wrestling, and has formed Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC. Anthem also owns Fight Network, the world's premier 24/7 multi-platform channel dedicated to complete coverage of combat sports, which is IMPACT Wrestling's exclusive broadcast partner in Canada and worldwide digital partner.
"We are thrilled to have acquired TNA IMPACT Wrestling," said Ed Nordholm, Executive Vice President of Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp., the parent of Fight Network. "As we grow Anthem's linear, digital and mobile platforms globally, top tier content with global appeal is key to that success and this acquisition is a perfect strategic addition to our portfolio. IMPACT has been a dominant wrestling brand around the world for more than a decade and we are confident that Anthem can leverage its assets and strategic partnerships to take IMPACT Wrestling to even greater heights."
Mr. Nordholm, who has been the managing director of the IMPACT Ventures Board of Managers since October 2016, will assume the position of President of Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC. Dixie Carter will resign from her position as Chairman of Impact Ventures and join the Advisory Board of Fight Media Group, which holds all of the combat sports-related assets of Anthem, where her focus will be on the global growth of the combat sports-related brands owned by Anthem.
"Anthem has been a great partner for many years," added Dixie Carter. "We have worked hard to find the right company who would acquire TNA, use its strategic influence and have a long-term commitment to the brand. TNA's incredible fans, talent and staff deserved to see the brand continue to thrive after 15+ years of incredible growth. I'm excited to move to a new position and work with Anthem on their global strategic plan, and I am confident TNA IMPACT Wrestling is going to be a huge part of their success."
Ms. Carter will remain a minority equity stakeholder.

You may already be using Microsoft Edge in Windows 10, but Microsoft's newest browser added a few new tricks with the April 2018 Update.
Edge works just like a traditional browser, but it looks sleeker, slimmer, and cleaner than Internet Explorer. You won't find the same toolbars, menu bars, and other baggage that cluttered up IE. Instead, there's just one tiny toolbar from which you access all your commands and settings, leaving more real estate for each page.
While we bet one of the first things you do on a new Windows PC is rush to the web to download Firefox, Chrome, or your other browser of choice, there are reasons to consider Edge. After all, we found it performs well against the competition.
Below, we'll check out what's new with the April 2018 Update and then provide an overview of how best to customize and use Microsoft Edge.

In Tampa, FL
Pools are a desirable addition to Tampa homes, since they can be enjoyed almost every day of the year under the Florida sun.

Week In Focus #14
This is picture #14 of a weekly Photo Challenge that I set myself – there is no particular theme. Today's photo was taken on frosty morning, and is of ice crystals that had formed on the roof of my car.
- This photo was captured on my mobile phone
The way the crystals formed on my car does have a name. The frost is called, Hoar Frost, or Hoarfrost. These crystals form on cold, clear nights when the air has been, initially damp. The interlocking ice crystals become attached to branches of trees, leafs, hedgerows and grass blades and are one of the most prominent features of a typical 'winter wonderland' day. However, the fine 'feathers', 'needles' and 'spines' might also be found on any other object that is exposed to supersaturated air below freezing temperature.
The word hoar comes from an Old English adjective that means "showing signs of old age". In this context, it refers to the frost that makes trees and bushes look like white hair.
Did you know?
Approximately three-quarters of the Earth's fresh water is stored in the enormous ice sheets that cover Antarctica and Greenland and in the smaller ice caps, mountain glaciers, and piedmonts scattered throughout the rest of the world. They occur in every region, including the Equator at high altitudes.

A solution of tert-butyl acetoacetate 31.65g (200mmol) in acetic acid 40 mL was cooled on ice bath to 5C and a solution of NaNO2 14.00g (1 eq.) in water 20mL was injected slowly under the level of the reaction mix with cooling and vigorous stirring, over a 20 min period, so that the internal temperature did not exceed +15C. The syringe was washed with water (2 x 3 mL) and the washings also added to the mix. The reaction mix was stirred on melting ice bath to RT in an open flask overnight (16 hours).
Separately, in a 3-necked 1L round bottom flask with a large egg-shaped stirbar and internal thermometer and an addition funnel, anhydrous sodium acetate 20g and ethyl acetoacetate 29.0g (1.1 eq.) were dissolved in acetic acid 100mL on a 60C oil bath. With vigorous stirring, Zn dust 10g (Aldrich, < 10micrometer) was then added followed by dropwise addition of the nitrosated mixture (from tBu acetoacetate and sodium nitrite). This addition was carried out over a 45 min period, while an additional Zn dust 40g was simultaneously added to the mix in approx 5 g portions few minutes apart. Each Zn addition was accompanied by a temperature spike, the internal temperature in the flask was kept below +85C. (The bath temperature was 60C and the the internal temperature in the flask was controlled by the rate of addition of Zn dust and the nitrosation mix. The total quantity of used Zn dust was 50g). At the end, the addition funnel was washed with additional acetic acid (3 x 10 mL) and this was added to the mix and continued for 1 more hour at 60C. The resulting foamy reaction mixture was finally diluted by addition of water, 100mL, and the mixture was stirred for one more hour at 60C. The reaction mix was then poured into a large beaker, diluted with water 0.5L, some crushed ice was added (total mix volume was 1.5L) and the slurry was placed on ice bath and stirred for 1 hour. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed thoroughly with water and dried by suction.
The obtained crude product was dissolved in a 1:1 mix of ethanol+ethyl acetate (0.5L) with gentle heating, the solution was filtered from the leftover Zn dust (Zn washed with EtOAc on Buchner) and the filtrates were evaporated to dryness. The solid residue was suspended in acetonitrile 60mL and the slurry was placed into a freezer (-20C) overnight. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with cold acetonitrile, dried by suction and on highvac. Y=35.55g (66.5%) of a white sugar-like crystalline solid.
1H(CDCl3, 400MHz): 8.93 (br s, 1H), 4.29 (q, 7.1Hz, 2H), 2.53(s, 3H), 2.50(s, 3H), 1.57(s, 9H), 1.36(t, 7.1Hz, 3H)
Note: There were couple more grams of the product left in the supernatants that could be likely isolated on a column, or doing a fractional crystallization from MeCN, but it was not worth the trouble.

Here is funny way to turn your computer into a baby rocker, using your disc tray! What the following command does is continually opens and closes the CD/DVD tray, so you can either move the rocker in close so it ends up getting pushed a little each time the tray opens, or tie some string from the rocker handle to the tray.
while :; do eject ; eject -t ; done
You can check out a YouTube vid of it being done via the latter method (though the guy uses his own script). Don't forget that if you would like to download this video clip, copy the url and paste it into QtTube for downloading to your Videos folder.
Did this information make your day? Did it rescue you from hours of headache? Then please consider making a donation via PayPal, to buy me a donut, beer, or some fish'n'chips for my time and effort! Many thanks!

Persistence and perseverance are two essential qualities every student needs if they want to score an internship, author Lauren Berger, CEO and founder of internqueen.com, told Hofstra public relations students this week.
"I wasn't afraid to put myself out there and tell people what I wanted to do," said Berger, speaking to members of the Hofstra chapter of Public Relations Students Society of America (PRSSA). "Get comfortable being a little uncomfortable. You need to break free from that comfort zone to get to where you want to be."
Author of national campus best-seller, ALL WORK NO PAY: Finding An Internship, Building Your Resume, Making Connections and Gaining Job Experience (Ten Speed/Random House), Berger offered tips on finding internships and making the most of them.
Berger, known as The Intern Queen, created her website by the same name to help college students find internships.
Berger caught the intern bug early and completed 15 internships in Florida, New York and Los Angeles while attending Florida State University and University of Central Florida. Her internships included Fox, MTV radio, NBC and more.
She took multiple unpaid internships, working two days a week, 12 hours a week, while waiting tables at night.
"I don't care about the pay, I care about the opportunity," Berger said.
She made cold calls to various public relations firms and agencies, even though her calls were often first met with rejection.
"Do not take no for an answer. If someone gives you a no, it is your job to go out and make it a yes," Berger said. Turning no into yes was Berger's key to success. She was not afraid to network with colleagues at her internships.
"While interning at Fox, I e-mailed every executive asking to sit down for a meeting and get advice," Berger said. "I stayed in contact with these executives three times a year."
Staying in touch is an important part of making the most out of an internship. Berger benefited by using one of her connections from Fox to land a job at Creative Arts Agency, an agency that represented many celebrities in Beverly Hills, only two weeks after arriving in Los Angeles.
"I think the point is you have to take initiative and go after what you believe in," Berger said. "You go after what you want."

This LDR based alarm can be used as wake up alarm. The Alarm turns on in the morning automatically and turns off only when manually switched off ,so you will have to wake up. It is a simple LDR based light sensor circuit.
LDR or Light Dependent Resistor is a kind of variable resistor and its resistance depends on the intensity of light falling on it. In complete dark, its resistance is as high as 1 Meg Ohm, but it reduces to 100 ohms or less in full light. So it is an ideal device to use as light switch. Sensitivity of LDR depends on its size also. Commonly available sizes are 3mm, 5mm, 10mm etc. But costly types with greater sensitivity are also available.
When the circuit is place in dark, near the window, LDR fails to conduct and T1 will not get base bias. So it remains off and buzzer will be silent. When the sunlight falls on LDR, IN the morning, LDR conducts and provides base bias to T1. T1 then conducts to activate the buzzer. Capacitor C1 is provided for the clean switching of T1. T1 will conduct only when C1 is charged fully. This prevents chirping sound during light transition.You can use an easily available Music buzzer to get melody tone.

Rainforest Estate's abundant, tropical grounds are near the end of a no through road in a pristine rainforest valley with only a handful of large, out of sight, acreage properties nearby. It's away from suburbia, busy traffic and other unwanted intrusions, yet close to all the action that Tropical North Queensland offers.
Prefer to fly to and from the property? Our helicopter pad provides easy access to Cairns International Airport and all local attractions.
Another track leads higher, through lush, wet tropics rainforest to the upper areas of the grounds. There are large level pads with extensive mountain vistas, ideal for resting, reading and reflecting.
The land rises over 120 metres (400 feet) within the property boundaries and then another 100 metres (300 feet) through a World Heritage, wet tropics national park bordering the northern boundary.
For the more energetic and adventurous, there are nearby walking tracks to high rainforest creeks and spectacular waterfalls.
A permanent rainforest creek runs along the southern boundary for over 200 metres (650 feet). A walking track follows the creek to steps that provide easy entry into a cool swimming hole fed by the mountain stream. A large bamboo stand, under a rainforest canopy on a bend in the creek, is an ideal place to take a dip, read a book, get married, watch and listen to nature, do some creative thinking or just relax.
The year-round flowing mountain creek contains freshwater fish and crustaceans for keen fishermen wanting a little practice or entertainment. If you're especially patient you may even spot a platypus looking for a meal.
There's also plenty of room for outdoor activities such as an early morning stroll or power walk, an afternoon game of boules, kicking a football around or even a little chipping or putting practice for the keen golfers.
Gardens range from mature tropical fruit trees and natives to newly planted exotics. Recent plantings include tens of thousands of native trees, shrubs and exotic plants to provide shade, attraction, aromas, wildlife habitat, colour and tropical snacks. Many species of birdlife and butterflies are abundant all year round.
The expansive home is surrounded by acres of sweeping lawns, tropical gardens and exotic fruit and rainforest trees that attract an abundance of tropical birds, butterflies and Australian native wildlife from dawn to dusk and after dark. Our mango (4 varieties) and citrus trees (oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes, lemonades, grapefruits) produce abundant fruit from December to May every year.

The one problem I have is with the placement of the "click" (at least I think it's that word) text in panel 2. Most of the word is blended in far too perfectly with the torch itself to be visible.
Other than that, looks like ol' empty-head is gonna get himself a fill-up! :D
