Special thank you to Ben Petroff and the Stack8 Managed Services team for their expertise with Cisco Expressway
Earlier this spring, Cisco had announced a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability affecting CUCM 10.x and 11.x, which we discussed in a previous blog post entitled: Important DoS Vulnerability for CUCM 10.x and 11.x "cisco-sa-20170419-ucm"
Cisco has recently announced that Cisco Expressway and TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) are also affected by a similar DoS vulnerability. Advisory ID "cisco-sa-20170816-vcs" (CVE-2017-6790) explains that an unauthenticated, remote attacker could send excessive SIP traffic to the device and cause a complete DoS condition on the targeted system.

In this third article, we will expand upon what we learned in part 1 and part 2 regarding Jabber and how to renew your CA-signed certificates. In this final article, we will examen the certification process within Cisco Expressway.
It is important to note that for Jabber Mobile and Remote Access (MRA) feature as well as for Business to Business calls (B2B), it is mandatory to have a CA-signed certificate on the Expressway-Edge node. On the other hand, there is no such requirement for Expressway-Core. However, Stack8 recommends a CA-signed certificate to be used on both Expressway servers.
Another requirement is to cross upload all Root and Intermediate certificates on both nodes in order for the Secure Traversal Zone to be active and communication between two Expressway nodes to work.
Do not forget to verify, every time you renew your certificates, if there is a change on the Root or any of the Intermediate certificates and Upload all new chain certs in the Trusted Certificates section of the server.

If you already have Cisco Expressway MRA and SIP URI dialing activated in your Cisco Unified Communications environment, then you should seriously begin to think about activating another very key feature within Cisco Expressway: Business-to-Business dialing.
This feature will bring your collaboration with your partners and customers to whole new level; allowing you to have audio and video calls with them as seamlessly as you do with your coworkers.
A big part of the configuration process for B2B calls is deploying public DNS SRV records that will allow your partners and clients to call you using your corporate domain.
Assuming you have all necessary ports on the firewall already opened. The following will take you through the steps required to effectively configure the B2B SIP URI dialing feature within Expressway.

You are hereHome » Remembering the Universal Declaration
Remembering the Universal Declaration
If, as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, I am knocking on the gates right now. I had intended to speak about Jessie Street the internationalist. I had intended to do some research on the topic. But unfortunately, life got out of control once more. What I do know about Jessie Street the internationalist is that which Madame President Burgmann recalled at the beginning of this lunch. She was an adviser to Bert Evatt - I should call him the Honourable Herbert V Evatt - at the San Francisco Conference in 1945, which established the United Nations. That conference wrote the UN Charter, but it also did something else. It wrote what is arguably the most important document ever reduced to writing, whether on paper, papyrus, velum or tablets of stone; namely, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was not officially adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations until December 1948, but its drafting was completed in December 1945. Its 60th birthday was celebrated with some considerable fanfare in Europe last December. It would not surprise me, however, if the events passed unnoticed here in Australia. The lack of surprise, if that was the case, makes it all the more amazing that Jessie Street should have been committed to an international solution to the problems we faced here and in many other countries, and that she should have been committed to the idea of an international declaration of human rights.
Although, at the time of the Declaration's drafting, Australia had many men and women in many theatres of war throughout the world, Australia in 1945 in general was somewhat less than truly international in its outlook. England was home. Australia's involvement in the war, announced in 1939, was announced on the basis that England had declared war and in consequence Australia was also at war. Well, 30 years later - that is, in 1975 - the notion that Australia's laws could be shaped by international conventions was fairly revolutionary. As a general rule, at that stage, the federal parliament only ratified treaties that it believed it could implement within its enumerated heads of legislative power. If it did otherwise implement them, it ratified them with something that became known as 'the federal state clause'.
I recollect that in 1972, in the equal pay case, I argued on instructions from the two-man government - the wife of one of whom I see sitting over there - that Australia had not ratified the International Labour Organisation's convention on equal pay because the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission had not granted equal pay to women. I argued, with some force, about which now I think I should have perhaps had some embarrassment, that it was the fault of the Arbitration Commission that Australia could not honour its international obligations and that the secondary consideration, of course, was that women didn't have equal pay.
Equal pay, the ILO convention on equal pay which featured so importantly in that case, is just one aspect of the earlier 1945 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 23(2) simply provided that everyone has the right to 'equal pay for equal work'. It is truly bizarre is that, although Australians, notably Dr Evatt and Jessie Street, should play such a significant role in the drafting of the Universal Declaration, it took so long for Australia to put into effect any of the obligations by which it was at least normatively bound from 1948 and earlier.
The principle of equal pay, which maybe, maybe not, came about in 1972, was not the only key provision in the Declaration of Human Rights. Of far greater significance was, and is, Article 7. Let me read to you:
All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.
That must have been a pretty radical idea in 1945. We know now that Australian Aborigines are still far less than equal, and in 1945 they were considerably less than equal before the law. And I am here to tell you that, at that stage, the law afforded them no protection at all. It was not until 1975 that the passage of the Racial Discrimination Act and the UN Declaration on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination was implemented in Australia. Te Act's implementation was not based on that convention and it was not based on Article 7 of the Universal Declaration. It was based on the 1967 Constitutional amendment, which simply did two things. It provided that the Commonwealth parliament had the power to legislate with respect to people of various races, including the Aboriginal race, and it provided that Aboriginal people could be counted as citizens. Australian Aborigines were citizens of this country, if not the equivalent; that is to say, they were British subjects by virtue of and from the moment of their birth. It is a disgrace that we should have failed to recognise and treated them so poorly and so shamefully for so many years.
Article 7 was not of course concerned solely with the rights of people of different races. There was no 1967 amendment to the Constitution allowing for the federal government to legislate for the equal rights of women. But their protection languished, not withstanding the presence of Article 6, which says that everyone 'has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law'. That position did not change till 1973. By then, some of the more adventurous thinkers were putting forward a proposition which much earlier had been advanced by Dr Wilfred Jenks as President of the International Labour Organisation. He had argued that the federal clause was a ban and that the federal government could legislate pursuant to its external affairs power to implement the treaties it had ratified. By 1983 that view was in the ascendancy, and Senator Susan Ryan took steps to ensure the ratification of the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women and in 1983 she shepherded through the parliament the Sex Discrimination Act. Let me interpolate here Susan, just this much as an aside. It is my great delight that it was and remains called the Sex Discrimination Act. When I was growing up, nouns had gender and people had sex. Now it is the other way around.
It was almost 35 years to the day after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human rights that Australia had at least embraced the notion of equality in its laws. Now the importance of those two pieces of legislation, the Racial Discrimination Act and the Sex Discrimination Act, can never be minimised. They are not Constitutional enactments. The parliament can repeal or revoke them any day it wants to. But they're all that we have in this country to ensure we are anything like a fair and equal society. Let me amend that. Apart from the little-used, less often thought of, Section 117 of the Constitution that was explored in a case called Street - he being one of the descendants of Jessie Street - and the Queensland Bar Association. They are all that we've got. Section 117 provides that a resident of one state shall not in another state be subject to any discrimination in the other state on account of his or her residency of the other state.
Those two pieces of anti-discrimination legislation are all that we have got. It is not an accident that, in the context of the 10-point Wik plan - hands up those who remember the 10-point Wik plan that has almost disappeared from our consciousness - our Aboriginal leaders insisted that the Racial Discrimination Act could not be amended. The Racial Discrimination Act is the bedrock foundation upon which native title lies.
No I do not want to enter this debate. I know and I understand the reason why someone should argue for a constitutionally enshrined bill of rights, and particularly a bill of rights that replicates and guarantees rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration. But let me tell you about a little job I had in Belarus. The international trade union movement complained to the International Labour Organisation that the independent union movement of Belarus was being discriminated against and that its members were being persecuted. The government of Belarus pointed to what was undoubtedly the most beautiful constitution I've ever seen. The constitution enshrined the equal rights of everyone. It guaranteed at least every right in the Universal Declaration and then some. For example, it guaranteed the rights of trade unions and trade unionists. So seriously did Belarus take its international obligations, that it had the public holiday for International Women's Day.
Quite naturally, in the face of the allegation that it was treating its trade unionists a little less than properly, it pointed to its beautiful constitution. 'How can it be', they said. 'Look, we've enshrined all these rights in the constitution and in addition we have enshrined every international norm. So it's just not possible.' Well indeed it was possible. It was possible for one reason and one reason only. There was nothing in its constitution which permitted citizens to approach the courts in the protection of their constitutional rights. That could be done only by the prosecutor-general - he was the man giving the trade unionists a moderately bad time - the president or the chief justice. But the chief justice would only do so after the trade unionists had served their time in prison. I mentioned the situation in Belarus because the Universal Declaration recognises there is no protection of human rights without the rule of law.
Let me read you some of the articles that relate to the rule of law:
Article 8: Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law.
Article 9: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Article 11: Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence.
Article 12: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.
Well, if Australia was tardy in implementing or giving effect to Article 7 of the Universal Declaration, it was more than ingenious in recognising the rule of law. The genius of the Australian Constitution lies in a little subsection called section 75(5). Its terms are probably meaningless to those of you non-lawyers who are present here today. It gives the High Court original jurisdiction in which any person, citizen or non citizen seeks mandamus, prohibition or an injunction against an officer of the Commonwealth. As a result of that tiny little subsection, ministers of the federal government, federal public servants, their agents and others acting on their behalf may be compelled to perform their Constitutional and legal duty and may be restrained from acting in excess of their constitutional or legal power. The section, like lamingtons and Australian Rules Football, is all our own; our own peculiar genius. Not surprisingly, governments of both sides have sought from time to time to cut down the operation of that little subsection; and equally not surprisingly, High Court has resisted their attempts every time. That little subsection is quite unique. It has no equivalent, as far as I know, in any other Constitution. Certainly it has no equivalent in the United States of America. And it is only because America hasn't got that equivalent provision that we have that legal black hole known as Guantanamo Bay.
The last time I ventured into the debate about Guantanamo Bay, I was quite rightly dismissed as an armchair critic. Let me not argue the point; but I can still read and I can tell you that the indefinite detention without trial before a properly constituted and independent tribunal is a breach of several of the provisions of the Declaration of Human Rights. I won't go through all of those provisions, but let's start with 'Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person'; 'Article 5: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment'; 'Article 9: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile'. What else is incarceration in Guantanamo Bay? 'Article 10: Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal'; 'Article 28: Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realised'.
In dismissing my criticisms of Guantanamo Bay, the Attorney General quiet correctly said that it was the courts of the United States that would decide if David Hicks' detention was lawful and it is true. At this stage they are four years too late in doing so. There is no point in my doing anything more because I'm sure you all know the United Nations and the European Union have both called for the closure, the immediate closure, of Guantanamo Bay.
Now I have mentioned Guantanamo Bay and David Hicks for another reason. It is true that today in far too many places, human right abuses occur on a large scale. Human rights abuses are often driven in those places by political, ethnic or religious differences. In the case of white Australia, human rights abuses also occur, and they occur at individual levels. The victims of those abuses are usually the most vulnerable. As a general rule the authorities don't interfere with nice middle class men and women like us. They pick on the difficult people. They pick on the non-conformists, the troublemakers, the dissidents, and as often as not they pick on the mentally ill and the mentally disabled.
We now know of the most serious violations of the rights of Christine Rau and Mrs Solon. So far as I know, no compensation has yet been provided. But let me hazard a guess that the damages must be enormous. I read in yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald, which I always understood to be a journal of record, that two men, nameless and unidentified, have been in immigration detention for three and five years, respectively. How much more vulnerable can you be than to lack a name and an identity? Today, the Herald reported that the Commonwealth government has settled the claim of a child who had been severely traumatised as a result of the two years he spent in immigration detention. According to the Herald, this was settled after a 63-day hearing in the Supreme Court. For that there will not be any change out of a million dollars, I promise you. Moreover, it is said that the damages aspect would be in the order of a million dollars.
Now I have been round this town long enough to know that abuses occur not only because people are vulnerable; they occur as often as not because good people do nothing, and as often as not good people know nothing. Detention centres are set apart and isolated from the mainstream of society, and deliberately so; so that you will not know what is going on. But it cannot be denied that, if abuses can occur, they will occur.
For that reason, I am not going to talk about Guantanamo Bay any more today. I am going to take this occasion to remind you or perhaps acquaint you with the terms of Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It says simply: 'Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.' Not a word about detention centres there. And because of that, I think today is an appropriate occasion to call for the immediate closure of immigration detention centres. At least there is a better than respectable argument that we should do it on economic grounds, if we won't do it because of the terms of Article 14, if we can't do it out of fellow feelings with other human beings.

Electricity, Phone, Internet, TV, Radio, Public Transportation, Banking, Postal and Other Services in Kuwait
Kuwait, having developed its oil industry since the 1960s, had amassed enough money to provide infrastructures and services for the benefit of its citizens.
Communication conditions in Kuwait proved to be quite excellent. Newly installed telephone exchanges can even accommodate for new subscribers. To date, 541,000 fixed lines are in use and about 2.907 million active mobile subscriptions are registered. With regards to the information highway usage, 2,305 host servers are giving residents of Kuwait bandwidth. Right now, Kuwait ranks only 88th in the world with regards to internet usage as 1,000,000 users send and receive data through the Internet.
With regards to news and entertainment, the country has 6 AM and 11 FM radio stations, 13 TV broadcast stations plus a number of satellite stations and 17 newspapers. The country takes pride in its transparent media in the Middle East region and have been in fact the number 1 ranked in the freedom of press index in the Arab League. Being a host to a lot of migrant workers, the government also looks after its foreign employees as state-run Radio Kuwait offers informative programming in four different languages which are Persian, Urdu, English and Tagalog on its AM and SW stations.
Going about in Kuwait is quite a pleasant experience as its highways and roads are well-maintained. Going to just about anywhere especially in the capital city is convenient as taxicabs abound the streets.
Of course, the best perk a government can give its populace is, is that no taxes are deducted from their paychecks.

Cal-Quake Construction is a retrofitting contractor who specializes in foundations and structural strengthening. Cal-Quake provides quality retrofits and foundation replacement or repairs to the entire state of California.
How can you prepare your house to better withstand the next damaging earthquake?
You can reduce earthquake damage to your house's structure by taking steps to strengthen your home, such as:
- Bolting your house to the foundation and bracing your cripple walls.
- Strapping your water heater to the house's frame.
- Securing fragile items on your shelves with earthquake putty and straps.
What's the earthquake risk in California?
California is earthquake country, with more than 2,000 known faults crisscrossing the state.
According to the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF3), within the next 30 years, there is a:
- 99.7% chance a 6.7M or greater earthquake will strike California.
- 75% chance a 7.0M or greater earthquake will strike Southern California.
- 76% chance a 7.0M or greater earthquake will strike Northern California.
What can you do to get yourself and your family prepared?
- Create a disaster-preparedness plan.
- Put together disaster supplies for your home, work and car.
- Purchase earthquake insurance to help you repair, replace, rebuild and recover.
What is seismic retrofitting?
Houses built before 1979—before residential seismic building codes were consistently enforced—may be more vulnerable to earthquake damage. Even a moderate earthquake can severely damage a pre-1979 house that has not been retrofitted to current building standards.
A seismic retrofit strengthens a house to make it more resistant to earthquake damage.
One way to seismically retrofit an older house is to bolt the house to its foundation and brace the walls around the crawl space with plywood.
If your house has?
- Has a wood frame
- Was built before 1979
- Is on a raised foundation (you would have a crawl space or basement under the house)
How a brace and bolt retrofit works. Many pre-1979 houses have a short (less than 4-foot), wood-framed wall surrounding the crawl space under the house. This short wall is known as a "cripple wall." To help prevent this type of house from sliding off of its foundation during an earthquake, the cripple wall needs to be braced with plywood and the house bolted to the foundation.
In order to understand the seismic retrofitting process, here are some basic concepts. The majority of structures were built to withstand one type of force or load as the engineers call it — the force of gravity. That's an up-and-down force. Unfortunately, the most damaging component of earthquake force is from side to side, producing what engineers call a lateral load. Therefore, properties that were adequately built to resist up and down forces are potential collapses under the lateral stresses of earthquakes. When dealing with conventional wood framed structure, there are three basic types of lateral failure, and as a consequence there are three different needs in seismic reinforcement. Bracing against one type of lateral failure does not protect you from the other two. That's why a retrofitting design should be planned by a knowledgeable professional — a scatter shot approach can leave your property more vulnerable.
1. Cripple wall failure – This occurs in wood-frame structures on taller crawl space walls, known as cripple walls, they are built with vertical 2X4 studs. They can be found between the foundation and the floor joists.
Even in recent minor quakes, such properties have been destroyed when these walls collapsed. Un-reinforced cripple walls are a weak link for getting the earthquake loads from the lower floor to the foundation. Plywood reinforcement on the inside faces of the cripple-wall studs can save the structure from destruction in a future quake. Shear failure happens when the bottom of a building moves under the force of a quake but the top doesn't.
2. Sliding failure – Sliding failure occurs when a property is not securely bolted to the foundation. Thus an earthquake can cause the entire building to literally slide off its foundation (while often remaining otherwise intact). Sliding failures are usually prevented by ordinary foundation bolts and framing anchors. Properties with deficient anchor bolts or none at all, are a worry!
Is the property bolted? Maybe and maybe not. Many — but not all — properties built have either deficient or nonexistent foundation bolts. It is best to have the adequacy of existing foundation bolts checked by an expert.
Under the influence of earthquake forces, the foundation begins oscillating before the roof even starts to move. The result is that the top and bottom edges of the structure's walls shear, or move horizontally past each other. Shear failure produce characteristic diagonal or X-shaped cracks in plaster, stucco and concrete. The heavier the building, the greater the shear forces produced — and the greater the potential damage.
3. Soft Story – Many properties, residential, commercial and apartment buildings have what is called a "soft story" condition. This term is used to describe any building that has a habitable room or rooms above a garage, carport or porch area that was not specifically designed to transmit shear or lateral forces to the story above.
Failures of these types of building or structure with soft story conditions can lead to loss of lives in an earthquake. Many counties in California are currently drafting ordinances to require retrofitting of all soft story buildings.
In California, there is an earthquake hazard disclosure law requiring the seller to disclose to the buyer at the time of sale the existence of certain known earthquake hazards, such as lack of bolting, existence of cripple walls with no shear paneling, hot water heaters that are not properly strapped, etc.. One of the conditions required to be disclosed as a hazard is the existence of a "soft story" condition. Visualize two dominoes standing on their small ends. Load four or five bricks on the dominoes with no difficulty because the dominoes are strong enough to carry the load, or downward force. But, if you go to the side of the dominoes and apply a tiny shear force: a shake or with even a breath; the whole thing will come crashing down…

When shopping around for a reggae guitar amp the factors you are most likely going to consider are:
- Tube amp vs. Solid state
- Wattage Output
- New or Used
- Good Clean Channel
- Budget $$$
Roland JC-120
nEW : $1,200 uSED: $400- $800
This amp is a favorite among reggae guitar players because of the cyrstal clear response you can hear while using the clean channel. It was used by reggae jazz guitarist Ernest Ranglin and Junior Marvin when he played with Bob Marley & the Wailers.
It's a solid state, combo amp, and features two 60 watt speakers which sounds good in live music venues in addition to a recording studio.
The main disadvantage of this amp is the weak distortion channel, so if you are going to play some reggae rock solos you will definitely need some effect pedals. On the other hand, this amp is very versatile becuase it can also be used for acoustic guitar, keyboards, and even vocals.
Fender Twin Reverb
New: $1,450 Used: $900+
This is the guitar amp that was used by Bob Marley along with his lead guitarist in the Wailers, Al Anderson.
The main appeal of this guitar amp is the classic, vintage sound you get when the tube's are warmed up. Also by using the vibrato channel you can get a natural distortion & reverb effect from the amp that will sound much better than any guitar pedals you will find.
This amp is 85 watts and is suitable for any live music setting. If you need something smaller check out the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe which is a 40 watt combo amp for half the price.
Vox AC30
New: $1,000 Used: $600-800
The Vox amps were made popular by the British rock bands like the Beatles, The Kinks, and Queen. In addition to the authentic vintage sounding rock n' roll tone, it also sounds great when playing reggae. It features 30 watts of tube power and two celestion "blue" speakers.
The older, original AC30 amps where known to have wiring problems which have since been fixed with the reissues. There are several variations of this amp available including the valve reactor, custom, and handwired. This is a high quality, boutique amp which has a awesome sounding clean and dirty tones.
Peavey Classic 30
NEw: $650 Used: $300-450
This a solid sounding tube amp for the price. It features a good sounding clean channel for reggae rhythm guitar, and warm crunchy tones for lead playing in the drive channel. The amp features 30 watts of sound with a built in reverb effect. Good for live music in bars and small clubs. I personally own one of these amps and can vouch for them. Also check out a Peavey Classic 50 if you need more sound.

Purple for Polio 2017-2018 Country Park
Danetre continues to turn the town Purple
Purple4Polio Update
On Friday 3rd November 2017, the President of Daventry 'Danetre' Rotary Club (Nick Blunt) assisted by a number of their Members, completed the planting of Purple4Polio Crocus Corms in Daventry Country Park ready for next spring and expected to be in full flower at the time of next year's Purple4Polio "Tea Party".
Following on from this year's successful event, the Purple4Polio – "Tea Party" 2018 is being planned again for ..... 4.00 pm Thursday 8th March 2018….. at the Mercure Hotel, Daventry.
The Mercure Hotel – where Daventry 'Danetre' Rotary Club meet each Monday evening – was planted with 5000 Crocus Corms last year ….. so being just adjacent to the entrance, will be greeting their Guests again next Spring.
The further 2500 Crocus Corms now planted in Daventry Country Park, mean that a total of 15.000 Purple4Polio crocuses will now be flowering every Spring in and around the Daventry area. With the recent new location in the "Twinning Area" – [[Many thanks again to Daventry Town Council]] – and with other new village locations in Welton, Wilton and Woodford Halse; now joining those that were planted last year in Braunston.
The planting in various locations and beds within Daventry Country Park, was arranged thanks to Gemma Mason, the DDC 'Community Projects Officer' and their Community Team. We were also pleased to welcome David James the Chairman of the District Council, who joined us for the planting and appears with 'Danetre' Rotary President Nick in the official pre-event 'photo call'.
Although polio has not been seen in Great Britain and Ireland for many years, it is vital that we continue our efforts to eliminate the disease worldwide in order that it can never return. Rotary clubs in Great Britain and Ireland have so far donated over £20 million (€24 million) to End Polio Now.
Our efforts to eradicate polio have been described as one of the finest humanitarian projects the world has ever known and Rotary has even been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The eradication of polio when completed will be one of the most significant achievements in public health since the eradication of smallpox.

The Westfield FFA Cup Round of 16 witnessed the fastest Cup goal, red cards, penalty saves, long-range stunners and extra time drama. Here's what happened...
Heidelberg United 2
(Heffernan 1', Athiu 87')
Sydney United 0
Goals at the start and end of this entertaining encounter were enough for home side Heidelberg United to progress into the FFA Cup quarter finals 2-0 at Melbourne's Olympic Village.
An incredible start with the fastest ever FFA Cup scored by prolific Dan Heffernan after just 26 seconds put Heidelberg in the box seat. Reuben Way's cross directed home by the Central Coast target.
Kaine Shepherd came close for Heidelberg but things got worse for the visitors with midfielder Peter Triantis being subbed off due to injury 10 minutes before the break.
Sydney were denied early in the second 45 by Heidelberg keeper Griffin McMaster who spectacularly kept out Anthony Tomelic's shot. He kept the home side in the game later in the half as the game opened up.
Late on Heidelberg sub Kostas Kanakaris set up Heffernan with a neat cut back but a second goal went begging with the striker screwing his effort wide.
The visitors made some late substitutions as Mark Rudan went for the all-important equaliser. But it was McMaster again who denied Matthew Bilic brilliantly.
Perfect timing as Heidelberg sub Kenny Athiu made a nuisance of himself to end Sydney United's resistance by poking the ball over the line and send the home side into delirium.
What a night for the Melbourne club!
Lions FC 0
Perth Glory 1 (AET)
(Harold 116')
A 10-man Perth Glory have avoided a huge Cup boilover against third-tier outfit Lions FC, escaping with a 1-0 win after extra-time in front of more than 2500 fans at Perry Park.
Just when it looked like the match was headed to penalties, Chris Harold with just four minutes left in extra-time, slamming home at the second attempt after a great run by Gygory Sandor.
It was a cruel end for the brace Lions, who pushed the Hyundai A-League side all the way after Glory 'keeper Jerrad Tyson was sent off inside six minutes by referee Peter Green.
After Lions striker Shoheel Khan raced through on goal, the gloveman recklessly hauled him down, conceding a clear penalty and earning an early shower.
But substitute 'keeper Nicholas Feely spared Tyson's blushes, acrobatically diving to his right to keep out Andre Bonotto's spot kick.
Despite their numerical disadvantage Glory still dominated the first half. Richard Garcia had a header cleared off the line while Sidnei Sciola and Nebojsa Marinkovic went close from distance.
The chances came thick and fast in the second half as only a vital last-ditch block by Sandor denied Kado Aoci a goal while Chris Harold and Marinkovic both forced saves from Phil Zabaks down the other end.
It was thrilling, end-to-end stuff as the impressive Feely again denied Alex Janovsky from close range soon after while Sidnei wasted two glorious headed chances in normal time.
Harold had the best chance of the first period of extra-time as his thunderous shot from the edge of the box rattled the crossbar but his next involvement was more clinical to send Glory through.

It takes just one! One spark to light a fire and one person to spark an interest in something new.
That spark was lit for Nagla by her visiting aunt. Nagla listened eagerly, very curious about what her aunt was saying about Jesus Christ being the Son of God.
Once that spark is lit it doesn't go away. It creates a desire to learn and grow. Sadly, at the time, there was no way for Nagla to learn more. Nagla's aunt was visiting from the city and when she returned to the city with her went the Good News.
Nagla is now 14 years old. She lives on a remote island far from cities with no access to education. With little contact with the outside world Nagla had never heard about Jesus before her aunt visited from the city several years ago.
That was when she heard the name of Jesus Christ for the first time. But that was it! No one on the island where Nagla lives ever heard the name of Jesus mentioned again after Nagla's aunt left and went back to the city.
Then came the Talking Bibles and Nagla finally had an opportunity to learn more about Jesus. Nagla's family received one of the thirty that were distributed on her island. As her parents listened, they encouraged Nagla and her older sister to listen, too. The teenager said, "I then learned who Jesus is and how He died to save us from our sin — it was by this Talking Bible that many of us learned of eternal life." Nagla and her sister began listening and sharing with their friends.
By listening to the Talking Bible, she, her sister, and her friends have not only learned about Jesus, but how they can live as Christians. Just in from a day of fishing, the teenager explained, "Before we knew about Jesus, we did not always know what was right or wrong. Now, this Talking Bible gives us something good to obey."
Nagla now takes every opportunity to listen to her family's Talking Bible. Every evening before bed, she listens with her family. She says she often takes it to listen to while fishing or mending nets.
Nagla said she is currently listening to her third time through the New Testament. She also said listening with her teenage friends has allowed her to evangelize and share the Good News she has just learned. Laughing she added, "Sometimes we just listen, but we are girls, and we like to talk about what we heard."
Nagla and her friends have only had access to Scripture for a short time, but she already has favorite portions on the Talking Bibles that she goes back to, "My favorite part is when Jesus speaks to the woman at the well and says 'God is Spirit and we must worship Him in spirit and truth.'"
It may have been unlikely for the people of her island to hear of Jesus Christ, but since the distribution of Talking Bibles there, over 100 of the 300 people living on the island have become Christians, been baptized, and have formed a church.
Looking out at the water that sustains all physical life for the inhabitants of the island she calls home, Nagla said it was the receiving of the Talking Bibles that led her, and many of her low caste and illiterate community, to receive spiritual life.
Will you give a gift today to help more people like Nagla have access to the Word of God through a Talking Bible? Please help light the spark and keep it burning. You can make an impact for Jesus with unreached people who have never heard the Word of the Lord.

Cambridge, MA |
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leader in powering video, dynamic transactions and enterprise applications online, today announced the Akamai HD Network, its next generation video delivery offering and the first platform to deliver HD video online to viewers using Adobe Flash technology, Microsoft Silverlight, and to the iPhone, at broadcast-level audience scale. The Akamai HD Network is the only solution that supports live and on-demand HD streaming with a highly-personalized and interactive online experience that matches and complements HD television.
As a first-of-its-kind streaming platform, the Akamai HD Network is designed as one, comprehensive HD network reaching multiple playback environments and devices, including Flash, Silverlight, and the iPhone. Leveraging the global breadth and scale of Akamai's globally-distributed EdgePlatform of more than 50,000 servers, the Akamai HD Network enables content providers to deliver more HD content than previously possible - due to its wide-scale distribution in 70 countries and increased throughputs in more than 900 networks.
The Akamai HD Network is a streaming platform that leverages the following functionalities:
"Seeing is believing," said Paul Sagan, President and CEO, Akamai. "With the Akamai HD Network, we are revolutionizing the way content traverses the Internet with a new approach to bringing an HDTV-like experience online. We're entering a different online world, where many content owners and publishers need to deliver HD-quality video to a much wider online audience, with a higher level of interactivity for consumers. Delivering 'web-quality' content to 'web-sized' audiences is one thing, but delivering HD-quality content to broadcast-scale audiences is another."
Akamai has helped pioneer the delivery of HD content online, having worked with leading entertainment, sports, and news businesses. Two key trends have made it necessary to now evolve how streaming media is delivered on the Internet. First, online audiences have grown to broadcast scale. Second, those viewers are demanding higher quality content. Studies show that when higher quality video content is offered, viewer engagement time increases. Supporting this level of traffic requires a global network that can manage millions of simultaneous users streaming very high bitrate content. The Akamai HD Network was designed for large-scale broadcasters and film distributors looking to increase audience engagement and to expand revenues by complementing traditional mediums, such as TV and DVD, with the Internet.
The Akamai HD Network offers adaptive bitrate streaming capabilities across playback formats that are specifically optimized to work with Akamai's HD EdgePlatform for the fastest and most consistent video bitrate switching - enabling an instant and uninterrupted viewing experience for consumers even at the highest bitrates. Leveraging Akamai's entire HTTP footprint, video over Akamai's HD Network is delivered from servers closer to audiences around the world. As a result, Akamai can more tightly control the amount of time the player needs to buffer before switching streams. The shorter the buffer, the faster the stream can adapt and respond to changing end-user conditions. The result is intended to create a seamless HD quality video experience – with little to no buffering.
"We are excited to see Akamai's commitment to HTTP adaptive streaming as the future of online video delivery, as we have worked closely over the past year to build a robust end-to-end media delivery platform with IIS Smooth Streaming and Silverlight," said Steve Sklepowich, director for Silverlight at Microsoft Corp. "Together, we've proven that these true HD experiences can dramatically increase online viewing times for broadcasters. In addition, Microsoft's ability to deliver live and on-demand protected streams with Smooth Streaming and Silverlight, along with enhanced interactive experiences, such as multiple camera angles, alternate language tracks and in-stream data feeds, have raised the bar for online delivery using HTTP."
"Adobe works closely with Akamai to optimize Flash Media delivery on Akamai's network for the benefit of our mutual customers," said Jim Guerard, Vice-President and General Manager, Dynamic Media at Adobe. "We're pleased that customers who already leverage the Flash Platform as the number one video format online will now enjoy increased scalability and quality gains as a result of utilizing Akamai's vast edge infrastructure via HTTP video streaming."
Akamai® provides market-leading managed services for powering video, dynamic transactions, and enterprise applications online. Having pioneered the content delivery market one decade ago, Akamai's services have been adopted by the world's most recognized brands across diverse industries. The alternative to centralized Web infrastructure, Akamai's global network of tens of thousands of distributed servers provides the scale, reliability, insight and performance for businesses to succeed online. Akamai has transformed the Internet into a more viable place to inform, entertain, advertise, interact, and collaborate. To experience The Akamai Difference, visit www.akamai.com.
The release contains information about future expectations, plans and prospects of Akamai Technologies, Inc.'s management that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors including, but not limited to, the effects of any attempts to intentionally disrupt our services or network by hackers or others, failure of technology to accurately detect the locations of end users, malfunctioning systems so that data is not automatically or continuously updated and other factors that are discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents periodically filed with the SEC.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 6, and it is a time for all registered voters to do our civic duty and vote.
There are many issues out there that demand our concern and attention, especially for senior citizens like myself, who worry about our benefits being reduced.
According to the AARP, Social Security will fall short in 2034 and benefits will drop by 20 percent. Also, prescriptions drug costs are increasing at a rate faster than inflation. Added to all that, the Medicare trust fund will fall short by 2026.
That is why I call upon seniors to get out and vote for those candidates who will work hard on these senior citizen issues. So get your walkers, canes and wheel chairs and vote. Let our elected officials know that we are an important voting block.

"Christ's Presence in Christmas."
By Pastor Mark Taylor
In one sense, everything in the Bible is either about God's presence or about a lack of God's presence.
God was present in Christ before His birth, after His Birth, at His resurrection, and with Him today.
Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which means, "God with us."
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 14:16 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
We can experience God's presence in our public and private worship
When our lives are pure; When our hearts are passionate; When God's power is displayed with our actions; We can experience God's presence.
Is the Lord present in your home? Does the Lord influence how you act toward each other? Are you kind to each other? Is the Lord honored in your home so that others will want a home just like yours? The Lord is looking for homes where His presence is evident.
We can experience God's presence in our hearts today and God's Presence will be with us in the Future.
Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 22:20 - "22:20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Our culture has turned away from this being a celebration of Christ's birth and into just a time when we are out trying to get the best deals.
One of the ways to overcome this cultural slide that is invading the church was to truly worship Christ. Not just by showing up on the weekends to sing songs, but to worship Him through our obedience, our submission and through our sacrifice, like they did at the very first Christmas.
God's favor has come upon us in the form of His Son being born in a manger and this is "good news of great joy" and it is something to celebrate with people because it is "for all the people & Christmas is a time when we should share the joy of what Christ has done for us by giving and sacrificing and loving and celebrating in honor and recognition of the birth of Christ. But, like many things though, over time, the things that started out in a good way get corrupted by a sinful humanity and it ends up bringing pain or stress and a lack of joy.
It is through a relationship that respects the Lord and listens to and obeys Him that we will find peace and contentment in life. We will never buy fulfillment and contentment and we will never be able to give it to anyone by buying it for them. And when we do strive for that peace and contentment by buying things or by thinking we can give it will only increase our stress and leave us empty and anxious as we continually seek the latest and greatest thing to make us content.
God came to be with us on this first Christmas. He gave His presence. Jesus gave us His presence. We honor God as we give like Jesus gave by giving our presence into people's lives. It says you are important in my life and I want to be part of it.
An envelope to your wife or husband and to each of your children with a promise of your time with them personally and individually. "On a certain day we are going to go any where you want to go. We are going to eat what you want to eat. We are going to spend time with each other." It would probably be one of the best gifts you got.
Yes, we still want to give gifts, but we want to give gifts to those who are close to us in a way that we can give them our presence which is really and truly a gift to be cherished. Give like Jesus gave and give more "presence" this Christmas.
Spend less Money, but spend more Time So often we spend money so we don't have to spend time. We often find time to be a more valuable commodity than money.
Maybe you can make some sort of remembrance keepsake for someone in your family like a book or a video with pictures and music. The time we spend thinking about what someone would like and then spending time to make it or put something together is part of a gift that will last much longer than a toy.
The shepherds spread the word about Jesus' birth and what the angels had told them.
Luke 2:17-18 "When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them."
We want to help Keep Christ in Christmas not only in our families, but to see His name exalted and His Kingdom expanded around the world. Giving to missions is one way you can share God's love with those who need it. Share your own presence to those you care about, along with sharing the presence of God and the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Good afternoon everyone, my name is XXX, I'm 29 years old, and I'm from Beijing. 我想從以下幾方面介紹我自己:
I'd like to introduce myself through the next points: 1、 工作方面:我在學校的主要工作內容有三點:
About working: There are three main aspects of my daily work:
第一, 教課內容是法律基礎類、政治類課程,我覺得作為一名人民教師責任重大,不僅要教書,更好育人。
The first, I teach courses such as basic laws and politics. I can feel the strong responsibilities on a teacher, because I have to not only teach knowledge well, but also let students know how to be a good person.
The second, I'm responsible for some administrative work, such as students recruiting and employment. The main majors in our college are urban metro, car repairing, transportation management, logistics and so on.
I think the students recruiting and employment are very important to our college as well as to students and their parents, the serious working attitude and consciousness are highly required.
The third part of my daily work is to be a head teacher, there is an idea I respect very much: there is no bad students, but only bad teachers. If a family is a component of our society, then the class is a component of the school.
When we judge a class good or bad, the key ruler is the organization and management ability of a head teacher, as well as the good working attitude and teaching methods. A head teacher is the pathfinder on the way of students growing, as a young teacher, I'll try my best to be an excellent head teacher.
2、 生活興趣方面:我在生活方面愛好廣泛,尤其喜歡體育運動和閱讀。 About daily life: I have a wide range of hobbies, especially sports and reading.
Sport: We have very good sports facilities in our college, I play badminton every Tuesday, and play basketball every Friday. I think that sports is the best flavor of our life, it can release the pressure and relax our mood.
Reading: I have good reading habits since I was a child, I like the famous four classic very much, and I'm also interested in some biography and news commentaries. I think books can help people being mature, they affect me gradually.(為了以防萬一考官問你四大名著是什么,英文如下《三國演義》《西游記》《紅樓夢》《水滸傳》另外,最好例舉一些你比較喜歡的書,比如名人傳記方面可以說現在比較火的喬治福布斯傳記《George Forbes》)
And of course, I have the confused moment, but I think the difficulties can help me grow. Thank you.
Good morning, my dear teachers. It is really a great honor to have this opportunity for your
interview. Firstly, I will introduce myself to you briefly. My name is Qiu Mengru and my English name is Janet. I am a local person who is 23 years old. Jinan, the spring city is the capital of
Shandong province. I am of the opinion that my hometown is a beautiful city. Secondly, I want to talk about my studying experience. I am majored in 你以前的專業and graduated from 你學校的名字. I appreciate the education my university gave me. Now I got a new plan, I will do my
var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'http://static.pay.baidu.com/resource/baichuan/ns.js'; document.body.appendChild(script);
utmost to obtain a key to Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I choose the Clinic as my major.學校簡介+你為什么選擇這個專業
Moreover, I would like to say something about my family. 你可以談談你家庭的情況。 I have the confidence because I have such ability! I am kind-hearted, patient, outgoing and
creative. I am looking forward to my postgraduate studies and life. I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning. If I could have the chance to learn here, I will
concentrate on the studying and researching in this field. In order to construct a solid base for my future work, I will focus on the theoretical knowledge. Next, I would like to do some practical work with the help of my tutor and classmates. By through this, it?s definitely that I may get something that cannot be acquired from the textbooks.
Furthermore, I will state several reasons for taking postgraduate exams. First of all, I love my major. I am a hard working student especially do the thing I am interested in. I will try my best to resolve any problem no matter how difficult it is. I am fascinated by the great masters? refreshing and profound styles as well. Next, I love the feeling in the university. It is full of youthful spirit. And I am deeply attracted by the scholarly atmosphere. And the most important, it?s my great honor to open my ears to your teaching. In addition, more studying experiences doesn?t equal to success, whereas it's completely a way to success.
That's my simple and clear reasons why I took the postgraduate exams.
In spare time, I like reading books, surfing on the Internet, listening to music like pop, classic, or light music, because they can make me feel relaxed. Nobody could keep on working efficiently, therefore proper amusement is a must. In addition, I insist on do some physical training such as running, swimming and badminton as well. By doing this, we can always stay healthy. That's all. Thank you for giving me such a valuable opportunity!

Oklahoma's Defensive Line Hopes to Set the "Tone"
"Every game, every practice, every whatever we do as a D-line … It starts with us up front," Ndulue said. "If we can't stop the run or get after the quarterback it's going to be a long day for us."
Ndulue was a starting defensive end last season, but switched to tackle during the spring because of depth concerns there. He's capable of playing in both spots, but hasn't started a game yet this year in the Sooners' three-man front.
For all the concerns about the Oklahoma defensive line entering the season, the unit has been solid thus far, getting good pressure on opposing quarterbacks. (The Oklahoman)

missions & relief projectsStandard
do you want to know something really shocking about me?
i thought so.
i don't have any desire to move overseas. if i'm truly honest with myself, i don't. and it's not for lack of trying either. i've taken perspectives (an amazing and life-changing class!) twice. i do my best to keep updated on what is going on in the world. we are blessed to attend a mission-focused church. but i still don't want to move overseas. i like america.
you can start booing now.
let me clarify by saying that i would move overseas. in a heartbeat. i understand that God loves the world and it's people way more than i love america. and i'm all about following God wherever he leads me. we moved to iowa city in faith, and that was a great step for me. if God wants us overseas, we'll know and we'll go.
but i don't know if we'll ever move overseas, honestly. this is quite possibly the reason why i love those who are passionate about missions and relief work. because i'm frankly not passionate about going myself. but if someone else is, i get so excited.
we are blessed to have many people in our lives who are passionate about many different people groups. i'm so thankful for them-they make me fall in love with the world. they help me see the world the way God sees it.
bryan and i have become eager to help fuel these passions financially, especially since we don't have a specific goal for ourselves when it comes to missions.
- compassion international has organized some swift and trustworthy relief efforts. consider making a one-time donation to meet critical needs.
- support your friends or family who are going.
- consider taking perspectives in your area and evaluate your role in world missions.
- support a missionary through gospel for asia.
- pick up a copy of operation world and pray for nations.
exodus cryStandard
a little over a month ago, a student organization here at the university of iowa called Students Abolishing Slavery held a viewing of this movie. Nefarious was a powerful film in more ways than one. it plainly described the tragedy of the sex trade in our present world in an artful way.
despite it's horrific focus and against all odds, the film ended with a hopeful spirit. this organization seeks to raise awareness of modern day slavery and the sex trade, rescue women by setting up lighthouses, and reach and change the hearts of men. but it was clear at the film's end that only true healing can come from the power of Jesus Christ. this is the message they carry with them.
it was not a difficult decision to choose to give Exodus Cry monthly support. i talked to bryan about it and we decided to add it to our budget.
- purchase and watch the documentary or consider hosting a viewing
- consider making a one-time donation to Exodus Cry
- purchase the "Hold On" cd as a gift or for your family, music inspired by the Nefarious Film
- consider becoming a monthly partner with the Exodus Cry ministry
compassion internationalStandard
have you heard of compassion international? you likely have. it's a cause that has gained wild popularity. and unlike the bachelorette, their popularity is well-deserved.
this is a multi-faceted organization who has found an incredible balance when it comes to the job of supporting impoverished children and families. i've listed just a few things they provide:
- a monthly financial support program that connects the able to children in need of clothing, food, and education in impoverished areas of the world
- a deeper connection between the sponsor and sponsored by allowing for pictures, updates and correspondance along with the financial contribution
- amazing compassion-run programs for the children that allow the gospel to be delivered while also meeting the physical needs of those in need
bryan and i support an almost 11-year-old girl from the dominican republic. i love receiving her letters and hanging her cute drawings on my fridge. she has truly become a part of our family.
- consider making a one-time donation to compassion international.
- consider supporting a child in need by committing to $38 per month.
- consider supporting a center for babies and moms.
- consider supporting a student leader by committing to $300 per month.
i'll randomly select the winner at the end of the week!
lullabies for africaStandard
- consider making a donation to the Lullabies for Africa cause.
"The money collected will go towards traveling costs and fees. Any donations that exceed the $3500 mark will go to help families adopt from Africa."
- check out the adorable handmade goods in the lullabies etsy shop.
- purchase the cd as a gift or for your own children, it's a beautiful collection of lullabies!
preview for next week & giveaway winners!Standard
i have to tell you, i was nervous and excited for all of you who commented on my blog as i was entering the numbers on random.org. you all had pretty good chances. apparently not very many people were interested in winning free amazon.com giftcards-i honestly expected more comments!
but there were only 5 winners, which means some of you did not win. i guess i'll just have to do more giveaways next week! next week is what i like to call "give week." i'm going to be writing about generosity, worthy causes, and how and why we give even though we're on a tight budget.
and in the theme of "give week" the giveaways next week are actually in support of a cause i've been super excited about lately. here's a picture of the adorable items i'm giving away, i'll post more about the cause on monday!
and without further ado, here are the winners for this week!
#1: Christy
#2: Alicia
#3: Kaylee
#4: Ami
#5: Karlee
congratulations! you will all receive an email today from amazon.com with your giftcard information!
iphone apps + giveawayStandard
what it is?
i recently read this article on making money with your iphone. most of the apps out there simply advertise certain products by having you scan barcodes when you're in the store.
shopkick and checkpoints are two apps that i use.
how does it work for me?
if i feel like it, i'll run around walmart, scan some barcodes, and earn some points. i haven't earned enough points to mean anything yet, so i'm not convinced it's worth my time yet. but, like all of the things i've mentioned this week, i've found that it doesn't actually take a lot of my time once i figure out a system.
i don't by any means make extra trips to the store just to get these points, but i'm in walmart a couple times a week anyway, so i'll make some scans if i'm not pressed for time.
if you don't have a smartphone, which i know is many of you, i would liken these apps to technology-driven mystery shopping. i've never mystery shopped personally, but i know this is a viable way to earn some extra cash, too, and you don't even need a smartphone! : )
where's the proof?
i don't have any proof yet, as i mentioned earlier, but on shopkick, i've earned 561 kicks in about 3 weeks. i'm a little less than halfway there to earn a $5 target giftcard.
enter to win another $5 amazon.com gift card today! here's how to enter the giveaway today: simply leave a comment answering this question: what you're favorite way to earn "free money?" i'll randomly select a winner for today's giveaway at the end of the week!

In the U.S. and Canada, it is estimated between 40 to 50 percent of women and 20 to 25 percent of men suffer from a low sex drive.
There are several underlying causes of a low libido, including stress, being overweight, hormonal imbalance and suffering from the side effects of certain medications.
A low sex drive can be frustrating and is not often openly discussed.
Luckily, there are natural and effective steps you can take to help boost your libido and propel you to a greater state of health and wellness.
Simply implement one or all of the steps below and you'll soon see an improvement in your sex life.
1. Watch the alcohol
While a modest amount of alcohol (one or two drinks) does not have an effect on sex drive – and can even help get some couples in the mood – overconsumption can have a dampening effect on desire.
2. Keep moving
In addition to keeping blood flow high and helping you achieve your ideal body weight, exercise helps to release feel-good chemicals called endorphins, eliciting feelings of happiness and confidence.
3. Lose weight
Anything that helps improve your mood will also improve your libido. If your weight is deterring you from being intimate with your partner, it's time to take care of it.
Start by eliminating white, refined flours and sugars from your diet, eating a lighter dinner and drinking six to eight glasses of water per day. These small steps will help you shed unwanted pounds.
4. Go for color
The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in fruits and vegetables can help encourage blood flow to all areas of the body.
Add plenty of tomatoes, broccoli, berries, apples, sweet potatoes, spinach and kale to your diet. The brighter and more colorful your dinner plate, the better.
5. Take supplements
Certain supplements such as ginkgo biloba can help with blood flow to the brain and sexual organs.
Supplementing with choline and vitamin B5 can also help boost acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that sends impulses from your brain to your sexual organs.
6. Eat zinc-rich foods
Zinc is a mineral needed for the production of testosterone. A lack of zinc is associated with sexual problems and sperm abnormalities. Oysters, brewers yeast, wheat germ and bran all contain high levels of zinc.
7. Reduce stress
When the pressures of everyday life are weighing heavily on you, sex is likely the last thing on your mind. Reducing your stress level through exercise, meditation, massage or stretching will not only improve your sex life but your sense of self as well.
Find an activity that relaxes you and do it on a daily basis. If you feel like you don't have the time, try scheduling in some "me time" at least three times a week. I assure you, your relationship with your partner will benefit.
In addition to the tips above, there are certain foods you can incorporate into your daily diet to help boost your libido. Read about a few of them below.
4 foods to boost your libido
- Bananas – Bananas offer a rich source of vitamin B, helping to boost your energy for some intimate time with your honey.
- Avocados – High in folic acid, avocados also help to boost energy, stamina, and drive.
- Nuts – Walnuts and almonds are rich in essential fatty acids and help support the body's natural hormone production.
- Eggs – Eggs are rich in vitamin B6 and vitamin B5, which can help balance hormone levels.

D5,D5+ watchface bug solved
September 23rd, 2016
As I said,you guys love the D5 AND D5 plus for the various beautiful watchfaces. There once was a issue about changing watchface.
You might press the black image while changing the watchface and then the screen went black.This issue is caused by the bad connectivity.But we have paired the black images on download preview list,we also paired the black images caused by the empty folder.With the new firmware,you can solve the black image via OTA update.
You could download the latest firmware here.
http://en.001phone.cn/download-39.html This one is for D5 ,sorry for the bad experience just download it to solve this issue.
http://en.001phone.cn/download-53.html This one is for D5+ .
Thank you for your support.

Olá Jon,
O meu D5 + quando tentei mudar a correia saiu de dentro do relógio dois fios. Nunca mais trabalhou bem, nem o emparelhamento bluetooth nem a conexão Wi-Fi.
Agradecia que alguém me pudesse ajudar.
Hi, i'd Like to know If the smartwatch no.1 d5+ can receive call and answer without the sim card.
what kind of faces can i install on my D5+ smartwatch? vxp?
My screen of NO.1d5 is now all white. If I try to call the smartwatch I can listen but I can't do nothing. Could you tell me how I can reset the smartwatch ?
Hello Jon! I was able to download the smartfaces however, I can not install direct by the clock. What are the installation procedures? And you only have these smartfaces? Do not have a site where there are more models? Even if it is to buy.
I need help using my Smartwatch. I'm trying to get new smartfaces and I can not download from any site, the apps that make these transmissions request that my watch has installed Android Wear.
Another issue is that I bought the watch thinking of using it as an extension of the smartphone but this is not working. I would like to answer and make calls using the smartwatch connected via bluetooth from the smartphone but I can not.
I have read some materials on the internet about updating the smartwatch framework but I am afraid to do so.
Need help!!! I bought a smartwatch in the N0.1 D5 + because it is top of the line but I can not do anything on the device.
I need help!
Hi. I would like to appreciate this web site or forums to help us, because I didn't know how to repair my watch face bug. I following the video instructions and be honest, the first time a can't downloaded these files. The second time I did it but had a connection problems with my watch at the middle of the firmware install. But in the third time, everything was a successful. My No.1 D-5 born again. And make me very happy because I have a lot of time with these issue. Thanks you for your support and I recommend a lot this watch.
What I mean is that when I turn off the d5 + and plug it in to charge, the battery icon does not appear to charge, and the d5 + turns itself on after 30 seconds of plugging in
After updating to the d5 + when it is without battery does not restart when connecting to the outlet only vibrates and does not appear the battery icon to load, it is necessary to flash the firmware with cable.
I just received my watch today and I'm trying to download the app from http://www.app2open.com/download
but the site will not load, I keep getting the error "www.app2open.com refused to connect."
Can I return my D5 watch after 6 months of use and malfunction due to OTA update? I am not tech savvy enough to flash firmware. What options do I have?
No problem – and thanks for your reply.
The black faces issue is also a symptom / problem caused by partial downloads from the server. Part of the package is downloaded and the watch will allow it to install – even if something is missing.
Sometimes it is the main image that is missing and so the watch displays a "black space" instead. Then when you reboot or move away from the screen – the launcher database is corrupt and so it will not function.
Unfortunately this issue will persist unless an investment is made on the watch face server infrastructure and it is moved to a different country location.
Hosting a service like this from within China is very bad for customers around the world – but probably works very well in China.
The method of copying faces to the watch is much better and safer for all your customers. Consider the problem for some who find flashing firmware a very fearful thing to do. They will be scared to damage the watch – and could damage the watch.
They would probably be happier if this problem went away and just copy the faces to the watch. Much easier than flashing firmware ….
I don't understand how you think this bug is solved ? The issue is not on the watch. The issue is the terrible connectivity with the server that hosts these watch faces. In some countries you get some unreliable connectivity while in others you get none at all !! The issue is incomplete downloads causing the launcher data base to become corrupt and is still happening all over the world….. Causing customers to have to flash their watch with full firmware to recover from it.
Guys, i need help.
I own a NO.1 D5+ and i am unable to connect to my iPhone 4S.
Pairing is working fine, however while connecting i have got an unsupported device from the phone.
I have sent an email to NO.1 on their official website from the D5+ firmware section, but there was no answer so far.
I would really appreciate anyone's help.
Hi, I updated my D5+ In smart watch to last version and still have the bug issue, what shoul I do???
I checked the clock face folder and it's not there.
