|This broccoli and bean pasta from Holy Cow Vegan looks amazing!
There isn't a single ingredient in this recipe Kevin wouldn't like.
I'll have to give this one a try sometime soon.
|These beautiful white glass cabinets matched with blue floral planters
are literally something taken out of my dream kitchen.
I have a whole set of blue plates, bowls, and figurines that my grandma left to me.
Maybe my next kitchen (yay apartment living right?)
will have lighter cabinets that will go well with the blue ceramics.

|This Creamy (vegan) Butternut Squash Pasta with Sage
from Cookie and Kate caught my eye last week.
I ended up making it for a friend who came over for dinner last Wednesday.
The sauce was so yummy that I thinned the leftovers with
low-sodium vegetable broth and had as a soup later in the week.
|Another piece of my dream kitchen. Look at that apron sink and the huge windows!

|I love this outfit. I have a dress that is super similar to this one in style and colors.
Now all I need is a good jean jacket to go with it.
Happy Pinning to all!

Hello Everyone,
I have been looking the last half an hour for help & tried varies things to get this working, but no luck. So I hope I can be helped with a new thread.
I want to say previously that I learned VBA "on the go" and thus am really a "newbie with a bit more knowledge".
I have however worked with Excel a lot I used MySQL before and PHP and other Web Application languages.
Well on to the actual topic:
I am working for a company that has been running for half a year now and was using a pile of Excel Workbooks to store clients, calculate commissions, make reports and so on. Now, I am not a big fan of using Excel as a big database, however it is good for making calculations and reports. Therefore as we will be having a Server running MySQL in the next couple of Weeks I am preparing for the change of the Excel sheets and whatever is necessary.
So, I set up on my PC a MySQL database. Which was working fine already set up the tables. Now what I wanted to try out if I can input all the client data from the excel sheet into the MySQL database and in reverse using Excel to get necessary data from the MySQL database & then calculating it for reports or whatever in Excel.
My Questions: (finally) a) Would you say this is the right way of doing so? (As a temporary solution until we will change completely web-based app)
b) Using ODBC-5.1.6 Connector I was unable to connect to the database using Excel 2007 with the Error that the Structure of the DSN does not match control and application (Sorry have to translate from spanish..) - any clues why that would be?
c) Using a VBA script I tried connecting via ADO or the ActiveX library however I keep getting a runtime error..
The code is here:
I have left out the code for the recordset for now as on the error VBA highlights "con.Open" and obviously does not proceed.Code:Option Explicit Dim con As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Set con = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") con.ConnectionString = "server=localhost" & _ ";driver=MySQL 5.1 driver;db=astramedia;" & _ "uid=root;pwd=password;" & _ "Option=16386" con.CursorLocation = adUseClient con.Open end sub
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks alot for any suggestions & help!

COTM Auditorium Remodel
My previous life as a touring guy did not prepare me to serve as the Production Manager and Audio Director of a large church. Yep, you are correct, I quit traveling and took the same job I had been making fun of for years... Still can't believe how uninformed I had been—unbeknownst to me before I accepted this position at Church on the Move in Tulsa, OK was that they were the largest church in the region with a campus sitting on more than 300 acres of property and had a weekly attendance of about 10,000 people. The church had managed to stay quite current with its service content so someone with my production background felt immediately at ease. I still feel like I'm part of an awesome production machine and honestly, I had no idea that I didn't have to travel everyday to do what I love. Being an integral part of communicating a positive message with impact feels like the right thing to do and the right place to be—some of the work I'm most proud of (and the most challenging) has been done here.
This church has recently completed the largest phase of a massive campus-wide renovation project. The decision to preserve both our physical plant and secondary spaces was not an easy one when it came to the main auditorium—it meant that the auditorium would have to be gutted and redesigned while maintaining the current floor slope, exterior walls, and roof design all the while keeping the attached building spaces open so church activities could continue uninterrupted in all adjacent spaces. This gave us the "box" for the new auditorium design and gave us a starting point as to what could be reused and what would be reworked. In the end, every production area was either torn out and rebuilt or completely overhauled to accommodate the level of production we were in need of.
When this auditorium was built, it was relevant for where the church was at the time but it didn't allow the production much room to grow or change for the future. This remodel would need to not only be comprehensive but allow for future changes and adaptations farther down the line. Now don't get me wrong—we were having some really great events over the last few years but there were several big-ticket production systems that were on their last legs and massive problems were on the horizon.
We had made the decision a few years ago to go without any large-scale church consulting firm. These companies can be great for some situations but with the level of experience found within COTM's own production staff—it became apparent that we could save the money on consultants and put it into the gear. We reached out to COTM's long-time associate Brant Doell and Strategic Connections (formerly One Source Building Technologies) to assist in integrating our new design into this existing building and to help strategize on how best to make all of this come together on this rather short 18-week timeline. Brant and the Strategic Connections team were assisted throughout the install by our own paid technical staff—this not only helped COTM realize a significant savings on labor but it gave us a great working knowledge of how this very complicated system was put together and decreased our learning curve when it came time to make it all work.
The decision to go with two large 16'x9' Barco I-6 walls instead of projectors was made pretty simple once we experienced them in the old auditorium. We had rented them for an Easter production and knew immediately we could never go back to conventional projection. Our video supplier Evan French and his company Big Picture Productions hammered out a deal and this became our new building block for the video side of the renovation.
COTM has had a fairly extensive background in television and movie production, some may have heard of The Gospel Bill Show—Willie George (i.e.: Gospel Bill) is the Founder and Pastor of COTM, so we were already used to video being a major part of our events. We had been renting our camera package from Big Picture for quite some time with the thought of going to a High Definition platform in the future but after seeing the massive change in the video quality just from the LED screens we opted to stay with our conventional Hitachi cameras instead of making the jump to all HD heads. I know this is not "cool" by some, but we have no broadcast other then Vimeo uploads and archiving, so the investment required for HD cameras just didn't make any sense although we did install the necessary groundwork to accommodate HD cameras in the future if needed.
Along with the LED walls and the camera rental, Big Picture provided us with a new Barco FSN-150 switcher. This was one of the few switcher products we found that had the onboard effects we wanted and would keep our latency to a minimum. We added a nice supplement of video front-end devices that gave us an all HD signal path in the control room, HD feeds to all closed circuit televisions and fiber-optic feeds to the LED walls.
We rounded this out by adding our complement of existing Mac Pro towers to the mix, maintaining ProPresenter as our computer graphics platform and Final Cut for all live service captures.
Overall, the video looks absolutely fantastic, is easy to operate and has been able to accommodate everything we have thrown at it. Our live captures look good and every seat in the house has a great view.
Given the focus that COTM has always placed on great sound reinforcement, there was no choice but to go with a line array—but making that happen and staying within budget was the challenge. It became obvious that Harman International had the goods to make this a reality.
The final speaker system is comprised of (38) JBL Vertec 4088 modules flown in (4) arrays with (16) JBL ASB6128V subs, (10) flown and (6) under-stage; Front-fills are (7) JBL AC28/95's housed behind the finish work around the perimeter of the stage.
Amplifiers are (49) Crown MA5000i amps and (10) CT 2000 and CT 3000 amps. All control and routing is handled with (8) BSS Soundweb London's and (2) DBX 4800's.
All of our wireless systems had to be reworked in light of the 700MHz issues and to salvage any useable systems we currently owned. Wireless is a challenge here as our geographical location puts us in a frequency hotbed and most of church events utilize about 50 wireless channels between microphones and in-ear monitors—not to mention all the wireless com belt-packs and 2-way radios floating around. Needless to say, our Intermodulation Analysis software from Professional Wireless Systems gets quite a workout... Everything has worked great utilizing all Shure products for microphones and a combination of both Shure and Sennheiser products for all in-ear systems.
The existing conduit lines under the original slab had become waterlogged and were compromised over the years—and it didn't necessarily fill me with confidence to splice onto the existing copper to reach the new patch-bay location. So we made the decision to replace all of our existing snake lines with a Whirlwind SPC83P 3-way splitter system which utilized all new IJIS cable runs along with some CAT6 runs for any future audio, video or lighting growth we might encounter. This snake system is coupled to several Whirlwind Patchmasters located backstage so all input and output patching remains flexible but extremely simple to deal with.
The FOH position is made up of (2) MIDAS Heritage 3000 consoles. Yeah, I know this is where everyone groans and says "Why not digital?". Well, we already had an H3000 in pristine condition—and adding an additional H3000 back in my touring days was always an easy deal—so it seemed to be an easy solution for this application. One of the wizards at Strategic Connections made me a cross-connect cable to link the console electronics and Whirlwind built a harness to link up the outputs—done deal. I will say this, it really feels good to have this many analog inputs that sound this great—I am never buried in layers or submenus and to be honest, it feels like I can still be an audio engineer instead of a computer genius when "in the moment". Every "A" console has it own list of pros and cons—but for this particular situation, sticking with this version of Midas "awesomeness" serves us great. The outboard gear list is fairly simple: a complement of Klark-Teknik Square-Ones for compressors and gates, several effect units from Eventide, TC Electronic and Lexicon and a few DBX and UA tube preamps.
The coolest thing about this particular audio rig is that Jim Brawley did the EASE modeling for this room AND took a week out of his very busy schedule to traverse to Tulsa and really dial in all of the PA components. I knew of Mr. Brawley by reputation only and was blown away that Strategic Connections worked it out to incorporate him in to the mix. Aside from being a gentlemen, I felt he did his homework by watching some of our services on Vimeo allowing him to become familiar with both my mixing style and our high-energy service content.
The audio package is outstanding—everything sounds perfect and sweet—it gives back exactly what I put into it—transparent, in your face, adaptable...All the adjectives you would want to use to describe it are applicable. In short—being the audio engineer in this room is the best seat in the house.
A few years ago I was able to convince my good friend Daniel Connell to leave the comfort and predictability of his tour bus bunk and move out here to serve as our Lighting Designer. Due to the many lighting changes we had implemented after his arrival on staff, the lighting system didn't require a complete overhaul.
We currently maintain a large inventory of Vari-lite, Martin and conventional fixtures, control by GrandMA and Pathport, ETC dimming throughout and all necessary infrastructure you would expect in a system of this size but the majority of our moving light package is rented based on each specific design. This gives Daniel the creative freedom to swap out gear and switch things around as needed. "Gearing-up" for larger events and designs or scaling things down when needed has proven to be great option for us.
Since much of our stage lighting was already sorted, we devoted some time to coming up with a better data distribution plan. The original auditorium had incorporated only two DMX universes and we had been getting by thus far by using extra lines from FOH to stage and occasionally renting a GrandMA NSP for larger events. As part of this project we were able to integrate a network of Pathport nodes throughout the room. This provided data to our built-in lighting elements such as dimmer racks and architectural LED's using a combination of Pathport DMX Manager Plus 4-point nodes and Pathport UNO nodes. To accommodate the frequent redesign of our components onstage, we went with the Pathport Touring Edition nodes for a more flexible solution. The seamless integration of the MA Lighting GrandMA control console and these Pathport nodes allows a total of eight universes to be distributed anywhere in the room.
Although most of the lighting changes were centered around infrastructure, the most obvious change was a complete overhaul of the house lighting. Prior to the remodel, the houselights were comprised of numerous 8' fluorescent fixtures. Several years ago the church had begun to integrate a few various dimmable lighting fixtures here and there to try and create a warmer atmosphere but it did not allow for the proper coverage to light the room evenly. After going through several types of fixtures trying to find the proper "warmth" for the room, the ETC Source 4 Par ended up providing a quality of light that was warmer and more friendly than any of the architectural fixtures we had tested. The final result in the house is a warm atmosphere with extremely even coverage that greatly accents the color palette of the room.
The design also allowed us to focus on how to consolidate the dimming, power distribution and data which helped make our moving light integration and motor control a much simpler process. To be forward-thinking on what the future holds within our lighting system, we devoted considerable thought to cable management, cable drops, and floor access panels. Not only do our light and set designs look current and stay relevant, the lighting control areas throughout stay neat and organized. Although it involves a great deal of cabling and gear, everything has a home.
The final result of the lighting system is a room that is extremely comfortable and warm for the audience, a stage that is flexible and accommodating for our lighting designs while maintaining a sophisticated control system that has lightened the load considerably for our technical staff.
Hands down, the most labor intensive part of this remodel was the stage—between the demolition and removal of the old stage altogether, the backstage wall, and removing the overhead facade that housed a small lighting grid and outdated video projection and screens. The build-back gave us a massive flat stage with plenty of backstage space. I was desiring enough room backstage to be able to build and dress band risers and backline gear quickly and we got it with room to grow. The architectural team from Selser Schaefer Architects led by Hank Spieker really nailed it with this space. They married a creative plan of repurposing old rooms and hallways in a non-conventional manner with the practical production needs we were desperate for. We now have a stage level loading dock with a 10' wide overhead door opening into our backstage space—directly above this on the 2nd floor is another 10' door that opens to the scene shop. This allows us to use the same loading dock with a forklift or jib crane to transfer equipment and materials to the shop. There is another 10' door that opens from the shop onto the stage so that large pieces can be lowered directly onto the upstage area. The support structure for the stage allows for 15,000 lbs/sq foot which gives us the ability to use large equipment on stage such as scissor-lifts, boom-lifts, cars, elephants and just about anything the creative team can come up with.
With such a large stage space, we needed to be able to handle a large overhead lighting and video rig not to mention the weight of the audio system so we designed a rigging grid that used I-beams spaced every 5' from upstage to downstage separated by the main support beams running front to back every 25'. The engineers put their pencils to it and allowed us a dynamic load limit of 3000 lbs per beam per 25' bay which supplies us with an extremely agile rigging solution for almost anything we would need to hang.
By opening up our space, it has breathed new life into our creative and design process (not to mention how good it feels to not build set pieces out in the hallway). Also, I think our Facilities team is happier not repairing doorways, sheetrock, carpet and tile since we're no longer using the front door to load and unload trucks.
SYSTEM CONTROL To tie everything together and provide some type of system control, we went with a full-blown AMX system. From one of several touch-screens, we have the ability to control the power procedures on all major systems as well as control for all pertinent facets of the main video and closed-circuit television system. It also provides on and off continuity to the houselights for either cleaning, rehearsals or events, and gives us instant control of the audio to the lobby and common areas. Going this route for system control gives us a nice advantage as we continue to renovate other parts of the facility which will incorporate more control and flexibility into the system. Oh yeah...it's also kind of nice to monitor the A/V system components from home.
IN CLOSING As we've been using this room for several months now, we haven't really had to change anything of consequence. This comes as quite a surprise to some of us since you always seem to hear of the myriad of punch-lists, follow-up details, and nightmare stories after a project of this scope. The lack of problems only serves as a perfect example of what can be done with the proper amount of planning married with communication between the install teams, contractors, designers, architects and house staff. Everyone I had the privilege to work with on this remodel had an outstanding work ethic with every company and individual bringing nothing but the best to the table.
From the viewpoint of a church production guy, I am humbled at the opportunity to serve this church and community with such a tremendous auditorium and look forward to what the future holds.

Mahmood Farooqui, one of the co-directors of 'Peepli Live', was arrested from his residence in New Delhi on charges of rape last Friday. According to a report by The Times Of India, he has been remanded to 14 days judicial custody. Aside from being a filmmaker, Farooqui is also a well-known practitioner of the medieval Urdu storytelling art-form dastangoi.
The survivor, whose statement was recorded before a court under section 164 CrPC the same day, was a PhD student in Hindi studies from New York's prestigious Columbia University. She was in India for field work and first met Farooqui in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. Farooqi later introduced her to his wife, Anusha Rizvi, who is credit with directing 'Peepli Live', a satirical film on farmer suicides that was produced by Aamir Khan.
According to the report, the victim was quoted as saying the following while narrating the incident, which took place at Farooqui and Rizvi's residence on March 28:
"I called Farooqui and asked for tickets for his dastangoi performance and he asked me to come home. Later he called me again and asked me to join them for a wedding. But when I reached his place, I found him inebriated," she said in her complaint.
"...he was crying. When I asked what happened he didn't say anything. He asked me to go to his room-cum-office. I went to the porch to smoke when Farooqui came. He kissed me. I said this is definitely not what you want. He then asked me to sit on the sofa. He kissed me, pinned me down with his arms and sexually assaulted me," the complaint stated.
Reportedly, she did not resist him because she was intimidated by "the force he was using". She left his residence soon after the incident and emailed him two days later, saying that she had felt "violated" by his actions. Farooqui is reported to have responded to the email with a two-page reply, apologising for what had happened and blaming it on inebriation.
Rizvi has rubbished the students claims against her husband, claiming that the "complaint is false, manipulated and belated". "We are determined to fight this till the reality is presented before the people. We are very sure of it," she said, in a written statement.

From an unforgettable gap year to a house deposit, here are some ideas on how to spend the £7,500* you could save with Queen's GB scholarship
While £7,500 might not be enough of a deposit to get a mortgage for your own home outright, it could still get you on the property ladder through a shared ownership or shared equity scheme. This involves purchasing part of the property and renting the rest. A £7,500 deposit could get you a 90% mortgage on a 50% share of a £150,000 property.
So £7,500 might not buy you a brand new sports car, but it can get you a pretty decent second hand model – yes, even one with a flashy convertible roof. How about an Audi A4 Cabriolet? With the money you've saved on your scholarship, you can splash on a 2003 oil-burner or 2004 petrol version. What a way to roll up to lectures!
You can book a round-the-world trip taking in South Africa, Australia, South America and the US for as little as £2,100. Considering you need to budget at least £20 a day for food, travel and accommodation – you can enjoy a luxury gap year trip lasting 270 days with the money you've saved.
The average student rent in Belfast is £113 a week. This is already lower than other parts of the UK; in London, for example, you'll pay upwards of £210 per week**! At that rate, £7,500 will get you 66 week's accommodation. With term-time contracts lasting 38 week, that is almost enough to see you through to third year rent free!

A postgraduate qualification can give you the edge in the ever-competitive global job market. The average cost of a postgraduate taught course at Queen's is about £5,500 (for 2018 entry) so £7,500 can afford you the luxury of considering further education after you graduate.

Allocating more time to implementing and less to planning

Valuable time is lost in planning. Substantial savings can be realized if corporations would cut down on planning and concentrate on implementing." Do you agree or disagree with this view? Provide reasoning for your view.

Please see the attached file.
I strongly disagree with the view that planning is waste of time. The reasons are:
1. Planning makes implementation successful.
"Not enough time for a plan," business people say. "I can't plan. I'm too busy getting things done."
A business plan now can save time and stress later. Too many businesses make business plans only when they have to. Unless a bank or investors want to look at a business plan, there isn't likely to be a plan written. The busier you are, the more you need to plan. Planning is the key to successful implementation because it helps businesses staying on track and keep things done ahead of deadlines.
2. Planning fixes responsibility and clarifies who has to do what.
Often when things go wrongs, people points their fingers all over the place. A good plan from the beginning helps eliminate this problem. It would fix out the responsibilities of individuals and as a result help individuals to concentrate on their tasks. It would eventually help individual to improve their efficiency because they know what they are aiming for (everyone can be very focused on particular tasks).
3. Planning fixes the time limit for each task.
It is clear that planning closely reflect a business' attitude to time management. This task is vital to any business' success. If the work does not meet customer's deadline, that means the business is also approaching its 'deadline'. A ...

The solution provides very detailed explanations under 10 sub-headings in a 3-page Word file. It also includes clear reasoning, arguments and examples to illustrate the issue of management planning.

Google India surpasses the billion-dollar sales mark in the financial year 2017, in the year when the local business of the search engine expanded at half the pace of the prior year.
Google's rival business: Facebook, however, nearly doubles its revenues indicating an increase in the preference by marketers to advertise on social media platforms instead of search engines.
In the year through March 2017, Google India posts a turnover of worth Rs. 7208.9 Crore which is 22% more than previous year's revenues: Rs. 5904 Crores. Sales had increased by 44% in fiscal 2016.
One of the major revenue centre's of this Technology Giant is advertising services displaying ads next to search results however, Google has segregated itself into many Profit centres like cloud computing services and several Internet-related products and services as well. While Google is having the maximum market share (two third) getting the marketers to spend their digital budget into Google's advertising services, the Indian unit is just over 1% of the total parent revenue. The company did not disclose profit numbers in its annual return filed with the Registrar of Companies on Thursday.
Facebook: the Rival Business
Facebook posted a whopping hike of around 93% in their India turnover to Rs. 341.8 Crore, even as net profit is increased by nearly 31% from 31 Crore to Rs. 41.6 Crore.
Google, along with Facebook, is the most prominent force and critical to the advertising industry. They define the digital advertising industry," said Sam Balsara, chairman of advertising and PR firm Madison World.
While television still leads the ways of marketing and it is by far the most popular way of advertising in India, the growing demand for smartphones considering their affordability complimentary to the use of social media network, advertisers are driven to spend more in Social Media Marketing than the traditional media.
The brands have been slower to incorporate digital media into less-developed markets such as India lag behind in digital media consumption by the mass population as compared with the developed world.
There has been a substantial increase in digital ad spending to $1.21 Billion and mobile ad spending is expected to increase by around 85%, this year, according to eMarketer's latest media ad spend forecast.
"We continue to see strong growths in digital media ad spending. Google, being one of the lead players in the space is riding the wave. The digital space is seeing a lot of new players, especially over the top or OTT platforms offering exciting content. This will add further momentum to ad spends," said CVL Srinivas, country manager at WPP India and CEO of GroupM South Asia.
While Google & Facebook compete for digital supremacy, both platforms are powerful for advertising that cater to various needs of businesses. Google & Facebook may seem to evolve as 'duopoly' in the Indian Economy in the upcoming years as they continue to rule over Digital Marketing!

Ronaldo's glory was delayed by 4 years. After the fiasco of 1998 he ended the 2002 tournament as a world champion, and with the Golden Boot for his 8 goals, including 2 in the final, which, remarkably, was the first ever meeting between Germany and Brazil in the history of the World Cup.
France's defence of the title was a disaster as they finished winless (this was also the last time that the champions enjoyed automatic qualification).
It was a happy goodbye to golden goals- 3 were scored.
Firsts: this was the first World Cup to be held in Asia, and the first joint hosting (FIFA will not repeat the joint hosting experiment,and both countries are bidding to host future tournaments individually).
Korea republic will always appear to have been the surprise package, finishing 4th, but they benefitted from a number of outrageous refereeing decisions on their way. Turkey acquitted themselves very well to finish 3rd, and after just 11 seconds of the 3rd place match Hakan Şükür registered the fastest ever World Cup goal .
Oliver Kahn became the first goalkeeper to be awarded the Balon D'or as most valuable player, but ironically his fumble of Rivaldo's shot in the final gifted Ronaldo the opener. Germany only conceded 3 goals in the whole tournament.
David Beckham enjoyed some redemption when his penalty beat old rivals Argentina 1-0 in the group stage.
Ronaldo took his place in the history books with a truly bizarre haircut straight out of Tod Browning's Freaks, the result of his 2 yr old son Ronald's inability to distinguish between his father and teammate Roberto Carlos.

Bernard Pomerance's drama "The Elephant Man" opens Friday, Feb. 26, at Lake Erie College's C. K. Rickel Theatre. This show is the third production in The Studio Series, a four-part collaborative theatrical season between Rabbit Run Community Arts Association (RRCAA) and Lake Erie College. The Studio Series is funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and an additional grant from the Lake County Visitors Bureau.
Directed by Brint Learned, executive director of RRCAA, "The Elephant Man" is based on the life of Joseph Merrick and explores Merrick's struggles to lead a normal life in the face of severe physical deformity, due to a rare skin and bone disease.
The show is set in Victorian London, where Merrick is exploited as a freak in a traveling sideshow and eventually left destitute in London. Dr. Frederick Treves takes an interest in Merrick and agrees to take care of him. Merrick quickly becomes a favorite among the British elite, but it is an acceptance that comes with a heavy price.
Merrick is played by Josh Dean. Dean has a long history with Rabbit Run that dates back to 2001 when he first performed in "South Pacific" at the theater. Since that time he has appeared in a number of shows at Rabbit Run in between spending four years in the Army, studying martial arts extensively and became a Screen Actor Guild (SAG)-eligible stunt man. Playing the role of Dr. Treves is Dan Grgic, who has performed locally at The Beck Center for the Arts, the Hanna Theatre and Porthouse Theatre. The role of Mrs. Kendal is played by Evie Koh.
The Elephant Man" runs Feb. 26, 27 and Mar. 3, 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 28 and Mar. 6 at 2:00 p.m. in the C.K. Rickel Theatre in Royce Hall for the Fine and Performing Arts off of Gillett St. on the Lake Erie College campus, 391 W. Washington St., Painesville, OH.
The Sunday, Mar. 6, performance will be signed for the hearing-impaired.
On Saturday, Mar. 5, guests may add on a pre-show stop at the Steele Mansion in Painesville. A sit down dinner featuring recipes that were popular with the social elite in 19th century England will be served followed by a self-guided tour of the mansion. The entrée includes chicken frickessee, a favorite among British aristocracy. The meal starts with salad greens along with dinner rolls with sweet cream butter and finishes with Blancmange for dessert. Cash bar is available. Doors open at 5:00 p.m., and dinner will be served at 5:45 p.m. Tickets including dinner and the show and are $58/person. Reservations are required for this event and may be made at rabbitrunonline.org.

Let's get straight to the point, in this article we want to show you why you need a teacher in your startup and for this purpose we will show you 5 solid reasons which will convince you to bring in a teacher.
These people usually have an amazing Emotional IQ. They can manage their classes every day using a trick: they should analyze the mood in their class and work according to the result of this analysis. That's why they are able to identify student needs and after sometime even sense their emotions.
They have a strong sense of compassion and use their instinct to choose when they have to hold back and when they should move forward. These skills are all related to EQ and they are a great gift for any startup, especially since we have a lot of youngsters in new startups these days.
Organizing skills
If you don't have Organizing skills then you won't last long as a teacher, and where else we need Organizing skills? Almost everywhere in business. That's why we need teachers on our startup. They can be flexible, professional and work like a clock. These skills are great for your startups success. They know how to keep your team organized and keep them in track. Believe us, a startup is very similar to a school, if you lose control, it's extremely hard to get it back.
Decision based on data
A teacher should be able to collect data from students using different approaches and then take the action based on that data. They have to take at least 4 decisions in each hour and this skill is in great demand in startup systems. So they have amazing analytic view and they can be extremely useful when you have a great deal of data and trouble in decision making.
They are good at selling
Teaching is like selling, you should be able to convince your students to listen to your lesson and same goes for sale, you have to be able to convince them to buy your product or services. Teachers who don't have this skill won't last long in schools and the ones who can survive, can add a lot to your sale team. If they believe in something then they can sell it to anyone.
If you have lack of dedication then your startup will fall apart. Same goes for your team and this trait is extremely important for all of team members. In teaching business, you should be so dedicated to go to school every day at a specific time and spend multiple years like that. That's why they have the dedication we need in startups.
So as you can see, all of these qualities are already available in them but it might be hard to find all of them in other people. A teacher can be a great addition to your team and you can use these merits all in one person by bringing in a teacher.

ON a wintry night at the Capitol, as the scent of wood smoke drifts through the marble corridors, Rhode Island Sen. John Chafee (R) tries to explain why so many of his colleagues, so many dear old friends, are retiring.
''It reflects the pleasantness of the place,'' he says, his famous grin wilting a bit. ''There's been an increase in partisanship, an increase in tension.''
By all accounts, today's Congress is at war with the past. From federal entitlement programs to golf junkets, little is sacred for Washington's new crop of lawmakers. Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson (R), one of 13 senators and 22 representatives opting for oil portraits next year, calls the freshman legislators ''bug-eyed zealots.''
The rise of the new order, and the exodus of moderates like Senator Simpson, has huge implications for governance. The problem, say veteran members, is that as ideological positions harden in Congress, compromise becomes elusive.
Often, they argue, the headstrong lawmakers that voters send to Capitol Hill only gum the works. ''People who complain that Washington doesn't listen are wrong,'' says former Oklahoma Rep. Mickey Edwards. ''It listens too much. People are putting unreasonable demands on legislators, so they are more willing to draw lines in the sand.''
The new political landscape is, in large measure, the creation of the 73-member GOP freshman class in the House. Most freshmen ran against Washington, and few plan to stay long. Only a handful have purchased homes here: South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford sleeps on a cot in his office. Others, including Oklahoma Rep. Tom Coburn, vow to limit their tenure to three terms.
Rep. Steve Largent, another Oklahoman, rents a three-bedroom town house with two other GOP freshmen and goes home to see his family nearly every weekend. Ideally, he says, his congressional career will be remembered as ''brilliant and short.''
Unlike other freshman classes, this group has real power. Eighteen won seats on influential committees, and three were chosen to chair subcommittees. On the floor, freshmen have ignored taboos about bucking the leadership. They have hijacked appropriations bills they believed were too mild, even though President Clinton had already promised to veto them.
This, observers say, is the crux of the problem. ''Freshmen feel they've got to do as much as they can in as short a time as possible because they may not have a second bite at the apple,'' says political analyst Charles Cook. ''Ironically, when people are more determined to get things done in Congress, less happens.''
Indeed, their sprawling agenda, which encompasses banning military base abortions to dismantling the Commerce Department, combined with their legendary unwillingness to yield, have helped keep Congress in session this year for a record number of hours.
According to Mr. Cook, today's snarly climate began in the 1980s, when voter turnout dipped. As fewer moderate voters participated in primary elections, he says, more elections became battles between ''ideologues.''
Inside Congress, Cook adds, centrists have not shown the same staying power. Some influential GOP moderates in the House have opted for Senate bids, while moderate Senators, like Sam Nunn (D) of Georgia and Nancy Kassebaum (R) of Kansas have chosen to fold their tents.
Senior members warn their replacements are rarely as principled or experienced. ''I believe the quality of the Senate has deteriorated measurably,'' says Sen. Dale Bumpers (D) of Arkansas.
Not everyone agrees. Rep. Frank Wolf, (R) of Virginia, argues that Congress is simply a reflection of society. ''If Congress is a glove,'' he said during a recent radio interview, ''then the American people are the fingers and the hand.''
''People talk about consensus, but that's absurd,'' former Representative Edwards says. ''With 300 million people, the most you can hope for is compromise. We are asking our political leaders for clear, simple, ideologically coherent answers, and we want them to get things done. That only works if we all have the same simple answers.''
One culprit, Cook says, is the abundance of ''unfiltered information'' from sources like C-Span, talk radio, and the Internet. According to pollsters, he says, more Americans are ''absolutely certain'' about facts they've heard, even when they are incorrect. A recent Gallup poll found that 70 percent of Americans believe Congress is more corrupt today than 20 years ago, he says, ''even though that is completely wrong.''
Still, led by its newest members, Congress has gone sweeping. Staff sizes and franking budgets have been cut, restrictions on gifts and lobbying enacted, and debates about term limits and campaign-finance reform thrust forward.
Freshmen have helped topple taboos. Personal attacks during floor debates are more common, and members have dropped reservations about campaigning against colleagues. Earlier this year, freshman Sen. Rick Santorum (R) of Pennsylvania pressured leaders to strip Oregon Sen. Mark Hatfield, a fellow Republican, of his committee chairmanship for voting against the balanced-budget amendment.
DEVELOPMENTS like these have all but erased the collegiality of the old Congress. Gone are the days when Senators used to plan bipartisan potlucks. It is unlikely that a House Speaker and a minority leader will soon play golf together, as former Reps. Tip O'Neil and Robert Michel once did.
In this climate, some say, moderates have less incentive to brave the rhetorical crossfire. As they leave, they take away the kinds of cross-party friendships that have proven indispensible in the past in brokering compromises.
''The best legislation comes when you reach across to the other side,'' Senator Chafee says, as the gilded doors of a Senate elevator close. ''New members think the other side doesn't matter.''

Immediately after conception, a lot of things start happening in the mother's body and the developing embryo. For most ladies, the first trimester (13 weeks) of pregnancy is more consuming since everything is new, very exciting, and indeed overwhelming. The following is a comprehensive guide to your first Trimester of pregnancy.
Though your pregnancy does not have any physical signs at this stage, you will be feeling it because of the elevated hormonal release and activities. The elevated hormonal levels cause fatigue, morning sickness, flatulence, and moodiness. Though many of these symptoms are no way enthralling, make sure to remind yourself as many times as possible that they are temporary and brought about by the baby developing inside you.
The first trimester starts from week one and runs to the thirteenth week. This means that by the time you are confirming that for sure you are pregnant; the chances are that the growing baby is about 5 or 6 weeks old inside the womb.
If unsure of the week you are in during the first trimester, get down with a pen and calculate the due date. Remember that the due date could fluctuate if your periods are irregular. Therefore, make sure to go with the flow.
Well, even before getting into the baby's development; what's happens at the chromosomes level? Well, you need to know this; it is the sperm that determines the sex of your baby. The egg (from mom) and sperm (from dad) contribute one chromosome each to the unborn baby. However, the egg only has X chromosomes while the sperm can have either X or Y chromosome. If the sperm that manages to fertilize your egg has X chromosome, the child will be a girl, and if it is a Y chromosome, the child will be a boy.
Once the egg has been fertilized, it becomes a zygote and starts moving down the fallopian tubes to the uterus. On reaching the uterus, the zygote becomes an embryo that attaches to the uterine wall. A wall covering the embryo forms immediately and it starts to develop as different organs start taking shape commencing with the most critical ones.
During the first trimester, the embryo cells (embryonic stem cells) start multiplying to form various organs and entire baby's body.
By the end of the 5th week, the placenta and umbilical cord are fully developed and development of various organs taking shape.
Because of the heightened hormonal changes during the first trimester, you should expect a lot of changes.
Other changes to expect during the first trimester include food aversions or craving, nasal congestion, light spotting, vaginal discharge, extreme fatigue, metallic taste, constipation, heartburn, and upset stomach. Always remember that every woman is different and may experience different sets of symptoms.
Therefore, completing the first trimester will be a great relief because most of the symptoms will disappear.
Though a lot is taking place in your body, you need to understand signs of danger and call a medical doctor immediately to avoid the risk of miscarriage.
While many women lose appetite during the first trimester, it is prudent to keep taking the right foods to have ample supply of the right nutrients and minerals for the body and developing the baby. Make sure to concentrate on taking regular light and balanced meals with high quantities of nutrients. Among the best foods to include in your meals are:
By the end of the first trimester, the baby will be about 1 inch long and, therefore, very small to cause a lot of weight gain. Because the baby is still very small, you only need to gain very little weight; 3-4 lbs. Some women especially those suffering from loss of appetite might even lose weight. However, make sure to gain more weight during the second and third trimesters.

Science project
What is the Fastest Way to Turn Chocolate White?
Difficulty of Project
Safety Issues
Material Availability
Easily available from the supermarket!
Approximate Time Required to Complete the Project:
A few weeks.
- To understand why chocolate turns white.
- To determine the fastest way that this process can occur.
- Chocolate (not Hershey's)
- A stove
- A refrigerator
- A humid area
Probably, at one point or another, you have opened up a bag or box of chocolate to find that it has turned white! This is due to either fat bloom or sugar bloom—a process in which either sugar or fat separates itself from the rest of the chocolate and creates crystals on the surface. What is the fastest way to turn chocolate white? How can you prevent this?
Research Questions
- What is the fastest way to cause sugar or fat bloom?
- Which method causes the most sugar or fat bloom to occur?
Terms, Concepts and Questions to Start Background Research
- What is sugar bloom?
- What is fat bloom?
- When do these phenomena occur?
- Which companies add extra ingredients that prevent their chocolate from turning white as quickly?
Experimental Procedure
- Find a supply of chocolate that does not have extra ingredients designed to prevent sugar or fat bloom from occurring.
- Divide the chocolate into four pieces, and put each into a dish. a. The first is the control. Make sure this is kept in an environment that has a constant temperature and constant humidity. b. The second is put into the refrigerator, to see if the process "dries it out". c. The third is put into an environment that is very humid.
- Take the fourth section of chocolate, and boil it over a stove.
- After it has finished melting, pour it back into the dish and leave it with the control chocolate.
- See which dish turns white first? Last? Is there any difference in the way these chocolates turn white?

The state of Oaxaca is one of Mexico's most diverse in terms of climate, geography and culture (there are 16 officially recognized indigenous groups in the state). It is also one of it's poorest. Roughly 61% of the population lives below the poverty line, with 23% living in extreme poverty. In a 2005 report the United Nations compared conditions in some of Oaxaca's pueblos to rural African villages. With almost half the population living in highly mountainous rural communities, providing health and education services is often difficult. Weaknesses in infrastructure, planning, development and implementation of services all contribute to the problem. Further, with 418 of Oaxaca's 570 municipalities running on an autonomous system of "customs and traditions" (where selection of local officials, customs, and communal work obligations are dictated by ancient tradition), organization of a cohesive budget for services and infrastructure gets complicated very quickly.
Most tourists who visit will only ever see the city of Oaxaca or beach resorts like Puerto Escondido, where the economy thrives on their business. Life for people who live in the pueblos is different. Most struggle to find enough work to make ends meet and provide a decent life for their families. Many have left their hometowns to search for work in the capital or other states within Mexico. For most, the possibility of their situation changing or assistance from the government is slim.
Fundación En Vía is a non-profit founded in 2010 with the goal of supporting the development of income generating small businesses, within pueblos around Oaxaca. With interest rates for micro loans in Mexico being anywhere from 75-150%, they are completely out of reach for most people in these communities. En Vía offers a solution as simple as it is well thought out. They provide 100% interest free micro loans to support the growth of businesses; with the loans being fully funded by proceeds from tours to the very communities they help. In addition, they offer free English courses to anyone interested, taught completely by volunteers.
En Vía only provides loans to women, and only in groups of 3. The reasoning goes that women are more likely to use the loans to improve the lives of their families, and that being part of a collective encourages proper management and repayment of the loans. Once the women agree to work together and come up with a business idea, they have to take a course on small business skills before being given the initial loan. Since their inception, En Vía has provided over 1500 loans to 400 women in 6 different communities around Oaxaca. They have also boasted a 99% payback rate on all those loans.
Last week I joined a group to visit women in the communities of Teotitlán de Valle and San Sebastián Abasolo. Teotitlán is a Zapotec indigenous community and one of the oldest continuously inhabited areas in Mesoamerica. The community is well known for its tapetes (traditional hand woven rugs), so it was no surprise that the first few women we visited were hard at work making these intricate decorations. With support from En Vía, Ines Ilda Ruiz has been successfully operating her own tapete business for the last 3 years. Before that, she had worked in the same industry but had always been employed by someone else. She barely made enough to make ends meet, and couldn't save money to purchase her own supplies for a business. When she heard about En Vía she partnered with other women in the community, who were also interested in working for themselves. Since then the changes have been positive and notable. Ines now owns a profitable business designing and manufacturing tapetes, and has control over every aspect of the business from start to finish. She sells her tapetes both locally and at wholesale markets in the city of Oaxaca. Ines has money to purchase supplies for her business, food and household items, as well as education costs for her sons (both of whom help out with the weaving, and are brilliant designers themselves).
Ines' loan partner, Filipa Martinez, who lives just up the hill, echoed the same sentiments. Filipa used to work preparing all the wool for another business, so it was easy for her to transition into starting her own operation. Every day she wakes up at 5AM to start cooking tortillas, which she sells in town, before heading to Oaxaca where she brings her rugs to stores and markets. It's a hard life, but there's optimism in the fact that she now works only for herself. She commented on the state of those who can't make ends meet; "Many people are leaving to find work in the city [Oaxaca] or in DF or the United States. Men are sometimes leaving their families for years to work and send money home."
Indeed, the population in some of Oaxaca's pueblos has dropped by as much as 45% in recent years, due to the rampant poverty and limited work opportunities. It's easy enough for those who live near Oaxaca city to head in for the day and sell their goods, but those in more remote areas often have to completely uproot to find income.
In nearby San Sebastián Abasolo we visited Karen Garcia, an esthetician. At just 18 years of age, Karen is running her own beauty parlor using a room in her grandmother's house. She studied at a beauty school in Oaxaca for two years, worked in salons afterwards and opened her own 6 months ago. She offers everything from basic haircuts, to coloring and manicures. Most of her clients are men and so far nobody has opted for her purple hair dye option. Most other girls around her age are thinking about marriage and children. In these smaller towns, it's still very common for women to marry young, have children and be relegated to household task and being subservient to their husbands. Karen couldn't be less interested in these things. "I'm happy with my salon and I enjoy being single," she says grinning. "If I had a husband and a family to raise, I wouldn't be able to run my business."
On the way back to Oaxaca I talked with Katie Sullivan, an En Vía volunteer who has been living in Oaxaca for the last 6 months. She said they are receiving requests from new women all the time and are hoping to expand into more pueblos. There is still skepticism in some towns, as to the validity of the interest free loans. People have gotten used to being taken advantage of, having promises broken, so they are wary when someone shows up offering them money to improve their lives, without asking for a pound of flesh in return. Katie also mentioned something else I hadn't thought of, namely that the word poverty isn't really thrown around much in the villages. "People don't really think of poverty being something that is happening to them. For them, this is just life, there's good months and there's bad months," she says. "It's hard, but this is how it's always been for them."
The improvement En Vía has had on these women's lives may not be noticeable at first glance. Most continue to live very simple lives by American standards, and own barely more than the essentials. They might never turn their small operations into multi million dollar entities, but they are free and answer only to themselves. This may be the most quantifiable aspect of progress one finds when they take a tour with En Vía. You see it in the laughter and smiles on the faces of Ines Ruiz and Filipa Martinez. You see it the confidence Karen Garcia uses to speak about her salon. It's not numbers in an account, or a BMW in the driveway. It's pride.

AIDA (アイダ Aida), short for Artificially Intelligent Data Anomaly, is a term used by the CyberConnect Corporation to refer to the anomalous "black spots" appearing throughout The World R:2 and to the creatures that emerge from them. Little is known about the AIDA, but according to Yata, the AIDA are primarily interested in humans. It is for this reason that they stay within The World R:2, and do not spread outwards into the rest of the Internet. It is because of this that Yata believes that The World R:2 must remain open to its entire userbase, and not shut off to only administrators.
AIDA's Origins
The AIDA are "natural" AIs, formed from the errors in the Internet caused by the disappearance of Aura. Unlike Aura, who was created by a system, the AIDA evolved much like normal life. The AIDA were originally harmless, but after several thousand of them were produced, a mutant appeared. This AIDA, Tri-Edge, had aggressive tendencies, and attacked a player. Since the AIDA are all connected, this aggression soon spread to the rest of them.
As the AIDA learned more about the outside world, through online news and the memories of their victims, they attempted to recreate parts of it within R:2. The first such artifacts were coinlockers, modeled from the news article "Coinlocker Baby" that first made AIDA aware of humans.
Eventually, Ovan used Corbenik's "Rebirth" ability in an attempt to destroy the AIDA. This, however, only destroyed the aggressive portion of the AIDA, that hadn't yet adapted to The World. The remainder peacefully coexists with the players of the game.
Types of AIDA
AIDA are drawn to human emotions, and frequently attach themselves to the PC bodies of players in The World R:2. AIDA-PC is a term referring to player characters that are infected by AIDA. Infection appears to take several forms and has several effects on the PC, Epitaph Users may become infected and lose control of their Avatar, and the AIDA may manifest into a physical form, or even alter a player's PC itself. Players PKed by those infected with AIDA become Lost Ones.
Characters that have been infected by AIDA include:
AIDA Monster
In the .hack//G.U. Novels, AIDA can also infect monsters, transforming them into AIDA Monsters, similar to the Data Bugs of the previous series. AIDA Monsters are referenced within the games on the Community Forum, but never encountered during gameplay. They also appear in .hack//Link.
Other AIDA Meanings
This is a list of other meanings of AIDA given in text in .hack Conglomerate.
- Automatic Idea Damnating Affection
- Agent of ID Dominational Act
- Anti-Intrusion Device for "AURA"
- Appear from Illusion and Dance in the Actuality
- AI which Decides as Attorney
- Automated Ideal Data Acquisition
- Abrupt Invisible Damnation Alastor
- Most AIDA attacks are named after the programming languages COBOL, ALGOL, Pascal, Prolog, Lisp, and Fortran. Oswald, Grunwald, and Victorian have some themed attacks not named in this way, though Victorian's "Elegant Orb" is, either on purpose or by coincidence, named after the programming language Elegant.
- In .hack // G.U. Returner, it is revealed that AIDA is not really bad, but rather is a reflection of the nature of the players.

Kenya is steadily moving away from hard cash, this is highly attributed to the dominion of online payment innovations such as Mpesa. The success of Mpesa has changed the way many Kenyan business people transact, with its ability to transfer money directly onto a mobile device. This has rendered the traditional movement of tangible funds to be outdated.
With further innovations such as the inception of digital money, businesses are now able to pay and use cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin to transact with those that subscribe to the same if not similar digital finance. The government of Kenya however is still pondering whether to make the cryptocurrency craze a part of their legally accepted finances.
As for now, the use of cryptocurrency remains low key ; used by a limited number of people and businesses but nonetheless quite beneficial for those that are faithful towards the capabilities of digital money.
People that own cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin can now transact with those without thisdigital money in Kenya. Dusupay provides the link between crypto owners and business people on Mpesa by enabling them to pay using their cryptocurrency which then Dusupay pays out to the receiver on their Mpesa wallet and the reverse is true with Dusupay helping people to pay out to those that want to receive money as cryptocurrency. In addition, one can withdraw cryptocurrency from any Mpesa and relevant banks in Kenya.

In MU Legend, 3rd Expert Skill Recommend
In MU Legend game, if you want to raise your game level or make better use of the characters in the game, you can learn some skills. There are some point of view about skill recommend.
What do you recommend as 3rd expert skill? One person said this on this issue:"I've seen some of top warmages using destruction too, but it isnt that good imo, also wallop skill looks stronk, maybe for pvp or sth like that, but since im focused on collecting my gear, which isnt that easy playin solo w/o spending money on that shit, so there's another question, u think its worth putting gems into ancient gear or its better to buy for eg. mythic weapons from AH and then putting gems into em and lvl it up with blesses. och I almost forgot.. about soul skillz im wondering if crit rate is worth puttin so much points, im not focusing on pvp so 60points passive is useless for me, so maybe CD > crit rate in that case or its better to put 30hp 30crit rate and rest cd? For now I do have 15.6 % crit with 47 points in crit rate which gives me 4.7% rate so its not that high so maybe 30 points in rate and rest in cd its not that bad idea dunno."
Another person said," This is my personal preference. As far as expert skills I use the 20% defense debuff, every 10th skill increases damage(can't remember exact wording), and the 5% CD. I personally think CD > crit for war mage so if your still gearing up I would try to aim for 50% CD first. Your main damage will come from your hallucinatory infection, fire curtain, and fire clutches so having those at half time is a huge help. Especially getting hallucinatory down from 30s to 15s. As far as soul points 30 health is a must for wm. Then I would recommend going for 60 CD this will give you 12% cd on top of the 5% from skill. Not to mention having your skills reset every 60 to 90 seconds is a nice bonus. After that I would recommend either putting points in atk or crit chance depending on your stats. As far as gems I would recommend getting the basic soulstones that give 2.5% CD for shoulders and 2.5% crit for 1h weapon the rest are up to you. Most people put beast gems because majority of bosses in epic are beast type. When you start getting into legendary soulstones that require sage stone."
Last, someone also said:" you need crit cap on wm for both pvp/pve. 30% (with souls/gems/gear) then go for lvl 30+ hysteria artifact, then max cdr, just go to rankings and look at the top vms."
You can listen to some of their comments and hope you can get some useful information. But if you not have MU Legend Zen, then you can find and buy in U4GM.com.

Here is one secret of mine that no one knows except my mother. When I was young, I dreamed of being a bus driver. I would pace around my home in Hong Kong for hours imagining that I was shuttling my passengers around. Little did I know that instead, I would become a secretary one day.
Maybe I could look cute in skirt. That's why our president EastCoastLife has appointed me as the association's secretary. When the prominent local blogger EastCoastLife – whom we have been dropping comments at each other's sites for years – invited me to meet with other Singapore bloggers in person, I was curiously excited. A series of events since the days of the Singapore F1 that lead to our association formally registered in Singapore – first of its kind.
Blogging is my passion. And I am excited to be part of this association. As a first generation immigrant of a country that I love (since 98), I am honored to take part in building something tangible here. This is my sole motivation. And as for the key stakeholders – in my personal view – they are (1) Singapore, (2) the public, and (3) the members. My personal vision of success in mid term is to contribute in building a strong and sustainable blogging community in Singapore as the frontier of the New Media. Some of you know that I have been a Management Consultant for more than a decade before moving into the industry and now helping to drive global initiatives. I aim to bring along my experience of working with the leaders of the organizations – both profit and non-profit – into this new association.
Back to this secretary role, I hope it is just about taking minutes, co-signing cheques, answering phone calls, buying takeaway, babysitting bosses' toddlers, taking pictures, and screaming at everybody but the bosses. I mean, that is the job description of a secretary right?
Above are some of the pictures taken during one of our meetings (note: written consent required by the association before used). Below are the links to the websites of our founding members. They are really fun people to be with, so much talents from a diverse background. I can't say too much on the upcoming events now and we shall hear it from our media team later (hmmm … where have I put my media team hat). Stay tuned! This is a beginning of many great things to come ~ to quote EastCoastLife.
