KUALA LUMPUR (May 16): Loss-making NetX Holdings Bhd share price took a breather after the strong performance in the past two weeks. The stock dropped one sen to 7.5 sen as at 4pm; however, trading volume remains high today at 156.16 million shares, making it the second most actively traded counter on Bursa Malaysia.NetXs share price rallied to a one-year high of 9.5 sen last Wednesday from the low of four sen on May 3. Year to date, the counter has jumped 200%.The sharp rise has raised eyebrows considering that the company has been in the red since 2012. NetXs accumulated losses were at RM39.8 million as at Dec 31, 2016. Nonetheless, the company has a rather clean balance sheet with a cash pile of RM11.6 million and total borrowings of RM3 million as at Dec 31, 2016.NetX ... a cash rich co ?

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
White Coconut Oil
Coconut Flour
Creamed Coconut
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)
is considered to be one of the healthiest oils in the planet, which is extracted by using systematic process commonly known as – "Cold press & unrefined process. Since VCO is extracted from fresh coconut meat without chemical processes is said to be the "mother of all oils".Our raw material is 100% organic sources and is free from genetically modified organisms (GMO).
It is rich in medium chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid and is a treasure trove of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and is an excellent nutraceutical.
It has about 50% lauric acids, having qualities similar to mother's milk, thus confirming its disease-fighting ability. When lauric acid enters human body it gets converted to Monolaurin, which has the ability to enhance immunity. Several studies have confirmed that this compound has the ability to kill viruses including herpes and numerous other bacteria. Its antiviral effect has the ability to considerably reduce the viral load of HIV patients.
Our VCO is not subjected to high temperatures, solvents or refinement procedures and therefore retains the fresh scent and taste of coconuts. It is rich in vitamin E, is non-greasy, non-staining and is widely used in soaps, lotions, creams and lip balms.
The health benefits of VCO are second to none; ranging from speeding up body metabolic system and providing immunity against a horde of commonly prevalent diseases.
Free from Trans fatty acids and its unique combination of fatty acids can have profound positive effects on health with powerful medicinal properties. This includes fat loss, better brain function and various other amazing benefits. Studies further shows that the fatty acid in coconut oil can increase blood levels of ketone bodies, supplying energy for the brain cells of Alzheimer's patients and relieving symptoms.
The fatty acids and breakdown products in Organic Virgin Coconut Oil can kill harmful pathogens. The fatty acids in Organic Virgin Coconut Oil can significantly reduce appetite, which may positively affect body weight over the long term.
The MCTs (Medium Chain Triglyceride) in coconut oil can increase blood concentration of Ketone bodies, which can help reduce seizures in epileptic children.
Studies in both human and rats show that coconut oil improves important risk factors like Total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol, which may translate to reduced risk of heart disease.
Coconut oil can be applied tropically as well. Studies show that it is effective as a skin moisturizer and protecting against hair damage. It is also used as a ,ild form of sunscreen and as mouthwash.
Organic VCO is High in Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MFCA) known as "Lauric Acid" which is identical to a special group of fats found in the mother's breast milk.
Special Product features of AFGO Organic VCO :
Free from cholesterol
No chemical process or added chemical
in bulk or in different PET bottles, HDPE bottles Glass jars
Shelf Life & Storage
Stable up to two years from production date.Store in a dry place at ambient temperature and away from direct sunlight. This product will solidify and become cloudy below 25'C before dispensing gradually above melting point.

I know Delphox is a special attacker, but Power-Up Punch would help protect Delphox from Dark Types. Shadow Ball however protects Delphox from Ghost Types and other Phycic Types.
It depends if your willing to put some EVs into Delphox because of its pitiful Attack Stat.
Power-Up Punch doesn't have the best base damage and since Delphox's Attack stat isn't great the move still won't be as good even after a few uses
Try Low Kick if you want a fighting type attack because it's damage depends on the foe's weight
Dazzling Gleam as it can use Delphox's Sp. A stat
Here is a good set for Delphox that goes with your needs:

The FBI has begun investigating the case of a school using webcams to spy on its students at home, according to the Associated Press.
An anonymous official associated with the case said the FBI was looking into the actions of Lower Merion School District, which installed software on 2,620 school-issued MacBooks to allow images to be recorded by the built-in camera without the student's knowledge.
The actions of the school may have broken US wiretapping laws according to the source, although the FBI has yet to confirm it is officially investigating the school district.
The case came to light when student Blake Robbins was disciplined for "improper behavior in his home" and allegedly shown an image of himself taken by the software. His parents are now suing the school district.
The school maintains that this was not the case and that the software was only activated 42 times after a laptop had been reported stolen or missing. In 18 cases, the images led to the recovery of the laptop.
"While certain rules for laptop use were spelled out - such as prohibitive uses on and off school property - there was no explicit notification that the laptop contained the security software. This notice should have been given and we regret that was not done," said Dr. Christopher McGinley , superintendent of schools for Lower Merion School District.
"Once again, we regret this situation has been a source of concern and disruption, and trust that we will soon have stronger privacy policies in place as a result of the lessons learned and our comprehensive review that is now underway."
The school maintains that only two people in its IT department could activate the software and the function has now been disabled.

text: Kiir vowed to follow Garang's path for a democratic Sudan Thursday's ceremony, attended by Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir and second vice president Osman Ali Taha, opened with Muslim and Christian prayers at Khartoum's Republican Palace. Posters of Kiir and his former archfoe, President Omar al-Bashir, were on display in the capital while security has been stepped up to guard against the kind of deadly rioting that rocked the streets after Garang's death. Kiir has vowed to uphold peace in line with an agreement signed in January that ended a two-decade conflict between north and south, Africa's longest running war in which about two million people had died. The peace process was interrupted by the death of Garang in a helicopter crash on 30 July, just three weeks after the former southern rebel leader had taken office as vice president under the January accord. "Despite the fact that we have lost our hero, the man who brought peace, Dr Garang, we will continue with the same vision, with the same objective, and we will implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement," Kiir said on Wednesday. He spoke in Arabic, the language of northern Sudanese, in a bid to shore up his credentials as a national leader, while English is widely spoken in the animist and Christian south. Challenges "Despite the fact that we have lost our hero, the man who brought peace, Dr Garang, we will continue with the same vision, with the same objective, and we will implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement" Salva Kiir, Sudan vice presidentOne of the primary challenges for Kiir, the ex-southern rebel military chief, will be to form a national unity government with Bashir. Kiir, who replaced Garang as head of the Sudan People Liberation's Movement/Army (SPLM/A), will have to help solve disputes about oil-rich areas on the north-south border. He is also to continue talks with several Khartoum-backed southern militia chiefs with a view to rallying them to the peace agreement. Kiir has pledged to continue in Garang's footsteps and carry on his dream for a democratic and prosperous Sudan, which does not discriminate against citizens on the basis of race, creed, gender or ethnicity.

J. K. Rowling famously wrote Harry Potter in the cafés of Edinburgh (though not, apparently, at the one in the photo).
I was in Edinburgh too this weekend, with my days free while my wife was at a storytelling workshop, and I can recommend writing while pottering around the city. Awful pun aside, this is a really good way to get words down. I stumbled into it by accident, but I'll definitely do it again.
What does a grizzled space veteran called Crabbe have in common with a hippy goat named Moonbeam?
They're both characters I'm playing in games on Storium.
Storium is an online storytelling game. You play it in your web browser; there's nothing you need to download and install. You can narrate a story yourself, or play as a character in someone else's tale. When you log in, you're shown a list of the stories that are looking for players, and you can create a character to join the one that takes your fancy.
I've been planning a novel over the last couple of weeks, and although I've got 20,000 words of outline and setting I was getting a bit bogged down.
I realised that I had the same problem that I'd had with my outline back in 2012 for the first novel that I drafted: I didn't really know what the bad guys wanted.

Some of the hottest stories in the news today center around genetically modified organisms. Some companies are removing them, some are developing new products using them, and some states are passing legislation to label products that include them.
Most recently, Chipotle announced that it stopped using GMOs in its food. In 2013, it began labeling which of its menu items included GMOs, and has been working to phase them out of its ingredients for years. The company's use of GMOs was mostly from soybean oil, which is used for cooking chips and taco shells and is in a number of recipes. Corn and flour tortillas also included some GMO ingredients. Chipotle's suppliers agreed to plant more non-GMO corn varieties to make its corn tortillas, and the company replaced soybean oil with sunflower oil to cook its chips and taco shells, and with rice bran oil for other items.
Other companies have made moves in the past to remove or label GMOs, such as Whole Foods Market, which will only stock products that are labeled to indicate if they contain GMOs starting in 2018, making it the first supermarket to make such a move.
It is not an easy task to remove GMOs, though. Officials say the majority of U.S. grown corn and soybeans comes from genetically engineered strains, reported Denver Post. However, that doesn't mean that more foodservice companies won't make the same move as Chipotle, since it seems consumers are only increasing their desire for non-GMO foods. Sales of Non-GMO Project Verified products topped $11 billion in 2014, and it is expected to continue to increase, said Carlotta Mast, editor in chief of the Natural Foods Merchandiser.
The non-GMO movement has also made strides on the state government level. Vermont passed a law in 2014 that requires the labeling of food produced with genetic engineering, which was just formally adopted by the Attorney General's Office, reported The State. Many food industry organizations, though, are opposed to such regulations, saying the Vermont law is unconstitutional. The Grocery Manufacturers Association, the Snack Foods Association, the International Dairy Foods Association and the National Association of Manufacturers filed a request to block the Vermont law from going into effect as scheduled on July 1, 2016. A judge partially granted and partially denied the state's motion to dismiss the industry lawsuit, which means the case will most likely go to trial, reported ABC News.
While the non-GMO supporters are working to remove genetically engineered products from the food industry, new genetically modified items were approved by the FDA. Two varieties of apples genetically engineered by Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc., and six varieties of potatoes genetically engineered by J. R. Simplot Company were deemed as safe for consumption by the FDA in March. The new apples, called Arctic Apples, engineered to resist browning associated with cuts and bruises, and the potatoes, called Innate, are engineered to reduce the formation of black spot bruises. These products may appeal to some food companies and retailers since they will be more visually appealing to consumers, but since they are genetically modified some businesses may be hesitant to use or sell them.
Will consumers be willing to use some genetically modified foods if they provide nutritional or visual benefits? Or is the non-GMO movement too strong for these new genetically modified products to survive?
As the pandemic continues, several companies across the food industry are leveraging contactless technology to accommodate social distancing.read more

Teenage parents and girls about to become mothers have a new resource.
The ALC Pregnancy Resource Center of Shelbyville welcomed seven students from the districts TeenAge Parenting Program (TAPP).
According to TAPP Coordinator Lisa Pack, ALC has merged with the New Hope Pregnancy Center in Bullitt County to provide services for expectant parents.
"Several of the girls had ultrasounds," she said. "One had her boyfriend and they got to see their baby's development in the womb. It was fascinating for everyone."
North Bullitt High School student London Seward and boyfriend Brandon Griffith saw what their daughter, Journey, looks like at 24 weeks into development.
ALC Site Director Tyler Mattingly discussed with students the many resources offered by the center.
ALC nurse Sara Reece is teaching a monthly one-hour parenting class allowing students to earn baby bucks they could redeem for various items in the store located at ALC.
"All of the parenting classes are tailored to the age and stage of the baby and the parents." Pack explained.
Tristen Cummins of Bullitt Central is 34 weeks pregnant while Kaitlynn Self of Riverview Opportunity Center is only 18 weeks. Both had ultrasounds so Tristen could see her son, who will be named Greyson, and Kaitlynn had the chance to see her little girl for the first time.
Bullitt Central High School student Destiny Crosby has a nine month old son named JaMarcus while fellow BC student Maya Miller-Shelton has an eighth month old son named Josiah.
Both infants are cared for in the state licensed child development center located at Riverview Opportunity Center. This allows teen parents to complete their high school education.
Learning a baby is on the way can be frightening for anyone, especially a teenager.
Pack and her staff work hard to support the youth through education.

Neil Kelleher
Talk Title: The Cell-Based Human Proteome Project:
Mapping Human Proteins and Their Complexes with Complete Molecular Specificity
With more than 300 papers published over the course of his career and teaching duties in two departments, Dr. Kelleher is a cross-disciplinary investigator with international impact in the field of proteomics and the discovery of new antibiotics and anti-cancer molecules from the microbial world. The Kelleher group invents new methods to understand how human cells work at the molecular level. Northwestern's Proteomics Center is generally regarded as one of the leading lab in "Top Down" Proteomics, an approach to measure proteins and their complexes with absolute molecular specificity. If we as a species want to gain knowledge of self and all the benefits that go along with the "domestication" of cells and molecules, then mapping the universe of protein molecules with improved precision will improve all the 21st Century goals of biomedical research including personalized drugs, designer organs, and early detection of human disease.
The Cell-Based Human Proteome Project seeks to define and map detectable proteoforms all throughout the human body, allowing us to improve proteomics technology and revolutionize our understanding of how wellness and disease manifests at the level of protein composition in human biology. Building on the successes of the Human Genome Project, the existing drafts of the Human Proteome, and the Human Cell Atlas, the Cell-Based Human Proteome Project (CB-HPP) also offers a transformative next step in our ability to understand and improve human health through more precise mapping of protein compositional space. In this brief talk, Neil will share the vision ahead for the CB-HPP, including pilot level progress, supported by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation (the Human Proteoform Atlas) and the Consortium for Top Down Proteomics, in clinical research in areas such as organ transplantation, heart disease, and cancer. The core of the CB-HPP involves mapping of 1 billion proteoforms throughout the human body for $1 each, and a brief TEDx talk describing the project is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHJxMnq51KU.

Kim Sawchuk is a Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University. She holds a Concordia University Research Chair in Mobile Media Studies. She is the former editor of the Canadian Journal of Communication and a co-founder of the feminist media studio, studio XX. The current co-editor of Wi: Journal of Mobile Media, her research in mobile media studies focuses on geo-locational media, ageing and digital technologies, and the intersections between mobility studies and critical disability studies.
A feminist media studies scholar, Sawchuk is interested in collaborative writing practices, with a special focus on new media art, wireless and mobile media technologies and the politics and culture of health and biomedicine. Her latest publication, Sampling the Wireless Spectrum: the politics, poetics and practice of mobile media (2010) is co-edited with Dr. Barbara Crow and Professor Michael Longford of York University. Other publications included Used/GOODs (2009) with artists and curators Gisele Amantea and Lorraine Oades. Embodiment (2007) is a collection of feminist writing on the body with artist-researcher Christina Lammer and curator Catherine Pilcher (Vienna). Other publications include Wild Science: Reading Feminism, Medicine, and the Media (2000) co-edited with Janine Marchessault and When Pain Strikes (1999), co-edited with the artists and curators Cathy Busby and Bill Burns.
Sawchuk's current research-creation work traverses two major areas: wireless, mobile communications and the legacy of biomedical imaging, or biotourism. While distinct in content, they intersect via the thread of mobility. For the project Under the City (2011-2013) Sawchuk is working with filmmaker and producer Katarina Soukup to develop a mobile application to explore the lost and buried rivers that traverse the island of Montreal. Illustrating Medicine (2008-2011), a collaborative research project with researchers from the Graduate Program in Biomedical Communications (BMC) University of Toronto, is developing a searchable digital archive of historic original drawings done for some of the first anatomical textbooks published in North America. The research component of the project examines the shift from systems anatomy to regional anatomy, which created new modalities of movement through corporeal space for surgeons and pathologists at the turn of the century. Sawchuk, together with Dr. Barbara Crow of York University, is conducting SSHRC funded research on senior citizens and cellular phones. She is also directing an international project Active Aging Mobile Technologies on the intersections of aging and the promises of mobile technology.
Not only has Dr. Sawchuk published extensively, but she contributes significantly to the to the advancement of cultural production and scholarship in her field. Sawchuk is a co-founder of the Mobile Media Lab (York-Concordia) and director of the Mobilities Research Centre located in Concordia's Department of Communication Studies. She has just completed a six-year term as the editor of the Canadian Journal of Communications (www.cjc-online.ca) and she is the co-editor of Wi: journal of mobile media (www.wi-not.ca). In addition to her academic research, in 1996 Sawchuk co-founded of StudioXX a feminist research and media arts centre in Montréal.

The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of my favorite books ever and I'd like to start with a sentence from it:
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels. A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have."
I agree. Though for me, it's not a towel, but a sarung. And well, I'm not a hitch hiker, but a traveler.
The one item that I always bring whenever I travel is my sarung. Sometimes I even bring more than one. I normally bring 2 when I travel in South East Asia. And 1 when I travel outside of South East Asia. It's the most versatile item in my bag and I use it in so many ways. So here are 11 reasons on why I always travel with a sarung:
1. It's great as a cover up to enter a religious place.
Many temples and religious places require both male and female to cover their legs. So if you're in a hot country and been traveling in shorts, you can easily use a sarung to cover up. For females, you can use it as a head cover when you visit a mosque.
2. Perfect as a blanket or a wrap if you're cold
Whether you're on the train or in the car or airplane, Sarung is a great way to warm yourself up if you're cold.
Or if you go to a hostel and find out they don't have blanket (which happened to me before), you got your sarung!
3. Of course you can simply use it as a sarung
Often times I love wearing a sarung instead of a skirt. I use it around the house/ hotel. I even use it with my top to go out. And as how it's most commonly used, sarung is a perfect body wrap when you go to the beach or to swim.
4. Or be creative and turn it into other items of clothing!
You can turn a sarung into a dress, a top, a belt. Or even a hat! Check out Harper's Bazaar's idea on turning a sarung (a large scarf in this case) into various dresses on this link.
5. To cover up before you shower/ To cover up while you shower
This is actually one of the essential and traditional use of sarung in South East Asia.
If, like me, you stay in many hostels with shared bathroom, sometimes, the shared batrooms are located down the hallway where you gotta pass lots of people. And sometimes the shower cubicle is so small that it's impossible to put on your fresh clothes without getting them wet after the shower. So, in those situations, I use my sarung before and after the shower so I can walk past people and not worry so much about hanging my clothing items in the tiny cubicle.
In rare instances where you end up in a monastery or a village and have to take a bath from a bucket behind a 1-side-only wall that is as high as your chest (true story of a traveler), you can use your sarung to take a bath. This was how south east Asian ladies take baths in the river back in the days. Since then, our mothers bring us sarung when we girls go camping. Cause well, there's only a river to take bath from, and ya gotta cover up!
6. Use it as a towel replacement when you go to the beach.
I did this so many times in this last trip to Bali. Just cause I only had a small exercise towel with me. So normally I use my small towel to wipe my face and wipe the rest of the body with the sarung.
7. Use it to cover yourself when you need to change in public place or places like the car.
Use it to cover your legs if you need to change your pants in public. Wrap it loosely around your top if you need to change your top in public.
8. Lay it on the ground when you go to the beach or picnic
Pretty self explanatory. I think we do this all the time.
9. Turn it into a bag if you're in desperate needs to have an extra bag.
You can follow the steps on this link to make your sarung bag. Or be creative and make your own!
10. Make your own makeshift tent to give some shade when you need to.
Find a branch or any stick to prop it up. And go underneath it. Some places get so hot you'll be glad you got a sarung to get a temporary shade.
11. Use it as a table cloth if you have a special event and need something nicer to spruce up the look.
Or it can also be used as a wall decoration or any other part of the decoration!
If you don't have one yet, I say, get yourself a sarung!
Do some shopping around and find one that suits you best. You want one with soft material that dries easily. And also large enough to be wrapped around your body.
I personally love my 2m x 1m sarung cause I can turn that into a wrap dress. I also tend to bring my beach sarungs rather than my batik cloth cause the beach ones are more versatile for traveling. I keep my batik cloth for special ocassions where I have to dress up and use my kebaya.
If you need any advice of recommendation, just holler and I'll be happy to help you!
And if you have an item that you can't travel without, I would love to hear it!
And with that, I hope you continue to explore this magnificent world we live in.

The final day of the series is reserved my favorite Metallica song of all time.
The song is about Hetfield losing his father to cancer. Guess you can figure out why it's my favorite. The song deals with the emotional pain he feels and the physical pain his father felt, but also the anger in dealing with it as well.
The flow of the song goes from soft to heavy and back to reflect this. For anyone that has lost anyone to cancer, read the lyrics... it's frighteningly accurate. I didn't hear the original until after I heard the S&M version, and just like all of the tracks of that album, I can't go back to them.
Favorite part; you can hear Hetfield shushing the crowd as the song slowly ends in the S&M version.
Official video
Thanks for checking back throughout the series, it was fun to write and I hope you guys learned something about the band that you never knew before.
Now if you'll excuse me, Metallica is just about to come on stage.

Cable Stolen
of Metal Cable Taken from Langton Green
Between 5pm on 24 April and 8am on 29 April,
thieves struck twice at the premises of Southern Water in Broom
Lane, Langton Green. In total, 600m of electricity cable was taken
and it is estimated replacing the cable will cost the utilities
firm more than £15,000. Officers believe the cables would
have been extremely heavy, suggesting the culprits had the ability
to cut them into smaller parts and load them onto a truck.
Chief Inspector Nikki Faulconbridge, based
at Tunbridge Wells Police Station, said: "Because of the
tools and equipment required to carry out a crime such as this,
this would not have been an opportunistic or unplanned offence."We
are talking to farm owners and the rural community to see if anyone
saw anything suspicious over the weekend, but if anyone else saw
anything suspicious, such as a large truck or a trailer in the
area, we would like to hear from them as those details could be
significant. It may be that the offenders had visited the area
previously to search for possible targets."
To assist police with their enquiries,
call 101 quoting crime number YY/8060/13.
Chief Insp Faulconbridge added: "This
crime aptly illustrates the importance of security, especially
in rural areas. As part of our Stay Safe this Spring campaign,
we recommend businesses take the opportunity to review their own
crime prevention measures including CCTV coverage, installing
or repairing alarm systems and identifying and securing any areas
that may be vulnerable."

Tips to Keep Flies Out of Home
Summer season is going on and you must be enjoying it. Long days of summer are mostly enjoyed with open windows so that fresh air may come in the house. But open windows also invite flies. Seeing flies flying here and there in your house is just like a nightmare. Closing doors and windows is not a solution to this problem. Here are some tips and tricks to keep flies away from indoors:
- Try to keep your house as clean as possible. Don't let your kids throw garbage and litter in yard. Instead of it, use a trash bin with a lid to dispose off waste. Indoor trash should also be bagged up and thrown regularly. Flies actually feast on garbage and rotten foods so to keep them away, it is necessary to keep them starved. Always keep food items in containers and refrigerator.
- Opening windows become necessary in summer so that excessive heat in house may leave. Open windows but make sure that you have screens or curtains on windows. Check screens to ensure that they have been fit properly. Do not open doors for longer period of time.
- There are some fragrances which flies do not like at all so use those fragrances for your advantage to keep flies away. For this, you can place crushed mint sachets or bay leaves in windows and doorways. These will stop flies from entering in. Lavender can also be used for the same purpose as it has strong smell.
- You can use some other tricks to keep flies out of house. The best trick is the water method. Take a clear plastic bag, fill it with water and hang it over doorway or window. Light will refract through this water bag creating a large reflection of fly. When fly will see a huge creature in its way, it will change its way and will never try to enter. Isn't it great??????
- To make above method more effective, you can also put pennies in water bag. Flies will consider water bag and pennies as a spider and its web. Being scared, they will not enter your house.
- You can also put a pot of sweet basil near windows as it is a natural fly repellent. It is used in cooking also so it is not hard to get this.
- Moreover don't let standing water stay near doorways as it attracts flies. Make sure to switch off unnecessary lights because light also works as an attractor of flies.
This was a complete description of some tricks which you can use to keep flies away. Follow these and enjoy this season to its fullest.

Awesome picks all, I totally agree. And I'm glad you didn't include Snape because no matter his actions he was a fucking asshole. -.-ReplyDelete
I most hotly support the Weasleys, such an amazing bunch of people (except Percy ofc), I would LOVE to be part of that family! So awesome, and with such a cool home ^^
I also agree with Sirius, the old rock n roll guy :D <3
The entire Weasley clan! This are such fun posts though I have to admit anything Harry Potter couldn't possibly not be fun.ReplyDelete
SIRIUS!!! He and Lupin are the reasons why Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book. James and Lily couldn't have chosen a better godfather for Harry. ❤ReplyDelete
Oh man, this would be near impossible to narrow down!! Jo just has this superb talent for crafting realistically flawed characters that are so memorable and good and brave that you just can't NOT love them. You do a remarkable job with your list here and of course I 100% agree. As for other favourites I would add... almost all of them?? That's WAY too hard, heh. Hmm, well Snape is a fantastically enigmatic character; McGonagall is obviously great too (and I love her history); Hagrid, again obvious; I have a definite soft spot for Dobby; and purely character-wise (even though they're super evil) I would include Tom Riddle, Umbridge, and Bellatrix because they're just really excellent antagonists. I really want to reread this series now ^^ReplyDelete
I don't think any list of faves would be complete without good ol' Dumbledore!ReplyDelete
Mands @ The Bookish ManicuristReplies
And I hope you do read some King, Mich! Maybe in the daytime ;)Delete
I don't know if Ollivander would have made it to my list, I would probably sub Hagrid in for him because I adore Hagrid, but I agree with every other thing you said about these fantastic characters. As I was reading through, I was thinking, surely she'll list Luna! I love Luna to pieces. I have a new favorite every day, but she remains towards the top. The Weasley twins are also way up there for me as well as Sirius and Lupin. Best fictional parents ever is right, the Weasleys as a family couldn't be a better suit for Harry to end up with. Plus, as you said, watching Neville go through the character growth that he accomplished was amazing. Just way too many characters to gush about, but you did a fantastic job! Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.ReplyDelete
I think you already know that I'm a huuuuuuge Snape fan. Always have been, always will be :D I also like Lupin a lot. I've always felt like a mixture between Luna/Hermione, so of course they are two of my favorite characters as well :DReplyDelete
Oh man I 100% agree with these. How on earth is it possible to pick just one favourite? I couldn't get enough of any of them! I agree with everything you said. I'd have to add Bellatrix though because she's so screwed up and mental - so entertaining. I love to hate her. Brilliant list Mimz! I just wish Lupin and Sirius had you know... survived :( *heart breaks* xxReplyDelete
Oooh narrowing down is just impossible! I don't think Harry or Ollivander would have made my list though (sorry). Hermione, Luna, Snape and Dumbledore are all absolutely musts for me. I also love Dobby and Hagrid, and my favourite Weasleys would have to be the twins...ReplyDelete
I could honestly go on forever. I'm a very indecisive person and Harry Potter is just full of such fantastic characters!
That gif for Neville by the way, is an absolutely perfect choice. Love this post!
I LOVE comments & do my best to return every one a.s.a.p. ♥
This blog is an award-free zone. I appreciate the thought but I can't invest the time needed.

NAFA Fleet Management Association announced that Donald W. Dunphy has been promoted to the position of Communications Manager/Editor. Don joined the staff of the Association in April 2011, and had been Communications Assistant during this period.
"Don came to NAFA with a much different writing background than the fleet industry, affording the Association an inquisitive and unique perspective from which NAFA has benefited over the past three years," said NAFA Chief Executive Officer Phillip E. Russo, CAE. "He's asking the questions not necessarily as a fleet insider, but as a reporter, so he goes after angles others might miss."
In this new position of Communications Manager/Editor, Dunphy will manage NAFA's multiple communication avenues, including FLEETSolutions, the official Association magazine; NAFAConnection, Legislative Updates, and Affiliates News Bulletin digital newsletters; and the annual Membership Directory, among other membership publications. Dunphy will continue to assist with the Association's social media platforms, websites, and various public relations and media outreach functions, such as the Beyond Fleet campaign, to keep NAFA's press partnerships active and strong.
"It's a big deal to be asked to step up like this," Dunphy said. "I am following accomplished professionals who have made it a mandate that our communications stand toe-to-toe with everything that is commercially available to fleet professionals. What we produce must be of the quality level that a fleet professional would go out and buy, were they not receiving them as benefits of NAFA membership."
"NAFA is fully confident that Don is going to drive the Association's media to tremendous new levels, and we're thrilled he has accepted this new challenge," said Russo.

The Joseph Groh Foundation is a wonderful organization that offers financial support to people in the construction field who endured life-altering injuries. Each year the organization honors various recipients with a grant and this year the Joseph Groh Foundation was happy to introduce Adil Karamally as a recipient.
Adil, born in Pakistan, earned his MBA from the University of Chicago and in 2003 purchased ProStar Mechanical Services of Anaheim, CA and received his HVAC and general contracting license. Three years ago, Adil suffered a major stroke at only 48 years old. He lost the function of his left arm and the experience left his left leg majorly impaired, causing foot drop. Because he could only walk while using a heavy brace, his muscles began to atrophy and his doctors were concerned that he would eventually be confined to a wheelchair.
No longer able to work, Adil's wife, Laila, was their single source of income, putting financial stress on the couple with three children in college and one in elementary school. Their hopes were lifted when Adil was introduced to the WalkAid System, a piece of equipment that incorporates functional electrical stimulation to help people with foot drop walk again. However, Adil and Laila soon learned that they would not be able to afford the WalkAid System in addition to the extensive rehab that would be required so he could figure out how to use it.
Fortunately, a specialist at WalkAid referred Adil and Laila to the Joseph Groh Foundation and, because of the generous grant, Adil got the WalkAid System and has already experienced wonderful success. His muscle is starting to regenerate and not atrophy, bringing hope back to Adil and Laila.
Service Experts Heating and Air Conditioning is an official sponsor of the Foundation and long-time friend of Joe's. To discover more about the Joseph Groh Foundation or to donate, see their website.

In 2008, a group of students under the organizations Team Communications (TeamComm) and Electronics and Communications Engineering Society (ECES) made a collaborative effort to form the official radio station of De La Salle University: Green Giant FM (GGFM). As an educational non-profit organization, their purpose has been to serve the Lasallian community in the fields of music and broadcasting through holistic quality programs that allow students to apply and develop their skills, talents, and expertise in their respective fields.
Green Giant FM has had the pleasure of blasting a unique brand of animo on the air since 2008. Now, they are finally hitting their 10th year. This coming May, they are bringing you "GG@10: Green Giant FM's 10th Anniversary," happening on May 25 at the 20th Floor Multipurpose Hall of Bro. Andrew Gonzalez Hall.
In the following week, a pocket event entitled "Green Giant Gives Back" will be held to as a form of thanks to their listeners and to promote an advocacy dear to the organization: responsible broadcasting.
Come back to the greener side and join Green Giant FM for a night of great fun and music, and take a walk with them from the past into the future of GGFM!

The year may be winding down, but the celebrity hoaxes are still going strong.
The latest misinformation making the Internet rounds is a purported People magazine cover that proclaims Taylor Lautner is "Out & Proud." The real People magazine confirmed to Gossip Cop that the supposed Jan. 7 issue is "absolutely fake."
From a Bones baby to the Royal Wedding: 2011's top social TV moments
The phony cover features the 19-year-old Lautner with the text, "Tired of rumors, the Twilight star opens up about his decision to finally come out" and the fabricated quote, "I'm more liberated, and happier than I've ever been."
At least one person was fooled by the sham. Russell Simmons initially tweeted, "Proud of Taylor Lautner for his bravery and his courage" before replacing the tweet with "Disappointed that people would joke about someone coming out about their sexuality. Let Taylor Lautner be whoever he wants to be."
Were you fooled by the bogus cover?

Pennsylvania's Unemployment Rate at Record Low 3.8 Percent
HARRISBURG, Pa. – On Friday, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) released its employment situation report for April 2019.
Pennsylvania's unemployment rate decreased one-tenth of a percentage point to a record low 3.8 percent in April – the lowest rate since 1976. The national rate was down two-tenths of a percentage point from March to 3.6 percent. The Pennsylvania unemployment rate declined by one-half of a percentage point from April 2018.
The civilian labor force, the estimated number of Pennsylvania residents working or looking for work, declined for the first time in 2019. This was attributable to a large drop in the number of unemployed residents, which reached its lowest level in 18 years. Unemployment rested at 248,000 in April – only 4,000 above its record low. The number of employed Pennsylvanians rose by 3,000 to a record high of 6,222,000.
The estimated number of jobs in Pennsylvania, referred to as total nonfarm jobs, was up 9,400 from March to a record high of 6,056,100. Highlights from this month's jobs report include:
• Fifth consecutive gain as well as fifth consecutive record high.
• Total nonfarm jobs increased over the month in eight of the 11 industry supersectors.
• The largest volume change was in professional & business services, up 4,700.
• Professional & business services, education & health services and leisure & hospitality all rose to record high job levels.
Over the past 12 months, jobs increased by 58,300 in the commonwealth with gains in nine of the 11 supersectors. Education & health services had the largest volume 12-month gain.
Additional information is available on the L&I website at www.dli.pa.gov.

PSEG Long Island: All customers should get power back Thursday
Up to 1,500 utility workers will hit the road Thursday to restore electricity for some 4,000 customers who were still without power after Tuesday's storms or because of typical summertime outages.
As PSEG Long Island moves into Day 3 of its largest outage and restoration effort, the utility felt the heat as it raced to clear and repair service by Thursday. Initial numbers showed the pre-dawn storms that toppled trees and downed wires Tuesday had struck down power for some 60,000 customers, but the figure rose to 88,000 by the end of Wednesday as more tree limbs fell and the heat caused more outages.
Utility officials said they were briefing Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's office and the Department of Public Service on its progress in restoring customers' power -- both of which publicly flayed the Long Island Power Authority, owner of the electric grid that PSEG now operates, for faltering after superstorm Sandy.
"Our customers without power are uncomfortable," said Dave Daly, PSEG Long Island president. "It's very hot. It's just unacceptable. We are working with our customers to give them the best information we can about our process for restoration and what the plan is."
Hundreds of workers from New Jersey, New York City and upstate utilities have been brought in to help, Daly said.
But Daly said getting power back up has been challenging because New England utilities also are dealing with storm blackouts and pop-up storms could cause further havoc this week.
Mike Varley, a manager for Rite Aid in Setauket, said the store got its power back late Wednesday, though the store had remained open without power.
The store was in cleanup mode Wednesday night, he said: "It's a complete mess. All the food in the refrigerator has to be thrown out."
He praised PSEG for doing a "good job of cleaning it up," referring to downed trees and wires.
The storm, which focused its force on Suffolk's western and North Shore communities, carried estimated wind gusts of 74 mph in South Setauket and 95 mph was measured on the roof of Stony Brook University's Health Sciences Tower, about 350 feet above ground, according to the National Weather Service's Upton office.
In addition to individual customers, the utility has restored power to three hospitals, eight to 10 schools and a nursing home, Daly said. It has also restored power to 24 water pumping stations, he said.
Of about 300 critical care customers, which includes people who use medical devices, all but 51 had power restored by Wednesday afternoon, Daly said.

Helping You Make Smart Choices for Your Business
Building your business requires making tough choices every single day. One of the fundamental decisions all business owners must make, and one that can have a profound and lasting impact on the success of your enterprise, is how to structure your business.
At FitzGerald Yap Kreditor, we believe choosing the right entity for your business can maximize your tax benefits and provide protection from personal liability. Contact our business formation attorneys to learn more about how we can assist you.
The biggest mistake people make when forming a business is not choosing the entity that can meet their business needs. What works for one business may be a disadvantage to another, depending on the type of business, the number of employees, the potential tax liability and the need for pension and 401k plans.
Assistance With All Types of Entity Formation
We will explain the relative advantages and disadvantages of each entity structure, helping you choose the form that is best for your business, such as a:
- C-Corporation: A C-corporation is the standard corporate form. Unlike partnerships, corporations generally offer personal liability protection from business debts and liabilities, but must obey certain formalities.
- S-Corporation: An S-corporation is so-named because it is defined in Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. S-corporations share almost all of the benefits of C-corporations, but are taxed similar to partnerships, in that the entity itself is not taxed on gains. However, S-corporations can only have up to 100 shareholders, all of which must be U.S. residents, among other restrictions.
- Limited Liability Company (LLC): A limited liability company is a business entity that operates under state law; every state has a statute authorizing LLCs. Generally, members of an LLC are protected from business debts, just as in a corporation. LLCs also allow businesses great flexibility in distributing profits and losses. While LLCs are typically taxed like partnerships, they can elect to be taxed as a corporation.
- Partnership: Partnerships are among the easiest business entity to form and manage, as they involve few or no structure or reporting requirements to exist. General partners in a partnership, however, are personally liable for the debts of the business. The partnership itself does not pay taxes on earnings, but individual partners must report their share of profits or losses.
- Non-Profit Corporations: Non-Profit Corporations are exempt from taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code because they are formed for charitable purposes. There are two types of non-profit corporations: (1) public benefit, such as school or charity; and (2) mutual benefit, such as a club.
There are also several relatively new corporate forms that are available in California and several other states in similar iterations, but not in every state where you may incorporate your business:
- Flexible Purpose Corporation (FPC): FPCs combine the for-profit abilities of a corporation with the social mindedness of a non-profit corporation. An FPC must specify at least one "special purpose" in its charter and the Board and management will be protected from shareholder liability when considering their special purpose against shareholder value.
- Benefit Corporation: Each Benefit Corporation must provide a general positive benefit and specifically, a material positive impact on society and the environment. This entity may also pursue a more specific public benefit alongside its general positive benefit. A Benefit Corporation will require a company to consider society, the environment and its shareholders when making decisions.

text: Some 650 Tigers and soldiers have died in the last 11 days The soldiers were killed when a bomb exploded on Saturday morning as they cleared the Muhamalai on the northern peninsula where 11 days of battles have left some 650 Tigers and soldiers dead. A military source from Jaffna said 11 other soldiers were wounded when a bomb went off as troops were on an operation clearing bunker lines. The peninsula remained relatively calm overnight after the arrival of the first shipment of aid for the tens of thousands of people who have fled fighting in the area. Jaffna is largely held by the government but is cut off by road from the rest of Sri Lanka by separatist forces.ReleaseMeanwhile the Tigers released a policeman held for over 10 months in northern Sri Lanka as a "goodwill gesture", monitors of the country's failing ceasefire said. BW Bopetigoda, was handed over to monitors during a ceremony on Saturday morning, Thorfinnur Omarsson, a spokesman for the Nordic mission, said. Bopetigoda was one of three officers arrested by separatists in Tiger-held territory in the north in September 2005. Two other officers had already been released. SOURCE: AFP
