Mauritius tour packages represent a lot to actions to the visitors. Beaches are the main appeals for sensitive travelers as well as couples who came here to enjoy Mauritius honeymoon packages on luxury holidays. For the convenience of visitors, the tourist destinations of Mauritius have been revealed into two main zones, namely north and south. One can get deportation by bus or cab to see the sightseeing harbors of Mauritius like North Island Tour and south Island Tour during holidays to Mauritius. After viewing the sights in Mauritius visit the eminent spas with world class services which may surely refresh one. Mauritius luxury holidays give alluring shopping scopes to take recaptures with one in the form of goods. Apart from the wide variety of apparels, one can also purchase exclusive knitwear, brocade, basketwork, crockery, ship models, electronic appliances and many more.

Mauritius travel Packages can be fully tailor made as well according to the choice of the customers.
The main bustle in the Maldives is simply reclining, even if there are a number of tours, if one get restive, from stopping over locals on a nearby island to cookery classes. But given that ninety nine per cent of the country is made up of water, it is not stunning most visitors desire to take to the Indian Ocean to expose abundance that lie beneath the waves. The Maldives is one of the world's prime centre for scuba and diving, with most resorts bidding PADI scuba diving programs. One may take a short boat ride on Maldives holidays to a nearby island familiar for its lively coral reef. Diving from the boat with the snorkels and fins is just like diving into the best aquarium of the globe. Everywhere one looks he notices a rainbow of coral and fish of all shapes, sizes and colors moving past, from schools of shiny green parrotfish to various aquatic creatures and innocent reef sharks are also usual guests to these waters. Back on dry land at the Beach House, one may visit the multi cuisine restaurants to taste its traditional Maldivian night. After trying distinctive local dishes of grilled fish, curries and coconut cake, they may join staff for a Maldivian fruition. The excitement to join in indicates overwhelming and they may soon dance and play drum under the moonlight during their Maldive luxury holidays. The Maldives is an absolute outstanding place that must be safeguarded, which is why most resorts are becoming more and more eco-friendly with ongoing viable actions and coral reclamation projects.
So, as we said earlier going to any new international sight located beside the golden sand beaches isn't just about enjoying the vacations having sunbath. Any of these top rated tourist spots give you option to explore new things that you had ever read in internet journals and travel magazines. So, whenever you visit Dubai luxury holidays next time, try to enjoy it to its fullest along with the must-visit sights. So, how can you make these tours more enjoyable regardless of the name of the tourist spot? Well, here are some tips for you.
Bathing in Salt-Water
No need to explain that there is nothing more enjoyable than bathing in the sea for hours. Regardless of the season you can enjoy the salted water along with your family and friends for several hours and the best thing is rarely you will become sick with cold as the sea water is too heavy to enter your skin. On the contrary, wild waves helps you to burn a lot of calorie and entice your appetite. So, before you go into the water for swimming, place your order so that when you return you get your meal prepared. If you have visited any of the Mauritius holidays resorts you will get lots of delicious dishes to choose from.
Seaside tourist spot doesn't mean you have to pound into the water immediately after leaving the resort. We visit these places to enjoy the time in a relaxing mood keeping all the worries and work-tension aside. So, take a mat along with you and switch off the mobile and tablet. Now just lie down lazily in the golden sand under the sun during your Dubai holidays. You can go for a romantic chitchat or can put the cow-boy hat on your face and take nap for an hour to tone up the skin with lots of vitamin D. Well, don't forget to keep your valuables as close to you as possible as most of the tourist spots are popular for the street boys who keep finding mobiles, money purses to pick quickly when you are busy watching a kid making a sand house in the sea beach at the holidays to Dubai.
Sea Food Eating
Oh, I love those spicy finger licking sea foods a lot. Don't you? Probably yes. So, when you are done with the sun-bath and swimming in the sea, just go to your room for a change and grab a sea in the open air under those umbrella and order some of the most delicious items. Every tourist spot has its popular sea-food item; you must keep at least one or two of them in your order. Whenever I go on holidays to Maldives I keep at least one and a half hour for enjoying the meals properly with my partner. Of course you also would go with your spouse or any of your best friends. So, never miss the chance to enjoy the trip with some of those dishes that entice your taste-buds.

Cookie Monster: Blueberry Almond Macaroons
Weekly recipes to serve with a glass of milk.
Get the Recipe
Early in the summer, I went to a picnic where someone brought raspberry macaroons. No, not the ethereally light and fragile macarons (as Google keeps trying to auto-correct for me), but the sturdy blobs of toasted coconut which, in my humble opinion, are far underrated in the cookiesphere. Now I hadn't even considered adding fruit to my macaroons—though I have dipped and dunked them in all sorts of chocolate combinations.
But jazzing up macaroons with fruit couldn't be simpler or more rewarding. I simply added fresh blueberries to my standard macaroon dough and gave it a whiz in the food processor. Satisfied with those cookies but intrigued by this development, I made a second batch in which I also blitzed some slivered almonds and almond extract into the dough. The resulting cookies were incredibly tasty, being totally packed with intense almond and blueberry flavor.
I'd definitely recommend these blue beauties to anyone looking for a fast and easy cookie that's big on flavor. To shill for macaroons in general, the sweetened coconut gives the cookies a moist yet sturdy texture that makes them great for travel. I'm definitely going to try incorporating my cookies with other fruit and nuts. (Raspberry- Vanilla Bean macaroons? Banana-Pecan? The possibilities are endless.)

Dear parents
As we approach the half term break, I'm able to tell you about some of the changes for September. We have a few staff moving on – Jo Marsden in Year 4 is leaving to pursue a career in leading special educational needs; Patrick Davies from Year 2 has been selected to train as a vicar and is excited to become a student again; and Maggie Burgess, one of our longest serving members of staff is taking a well-deserved break after teaching for over 20 years at HTPD. We'll definitely want to celebrate all that they have given to the school nearer to the end of the summer term. They have all been fantastic and we'll be sad to see them go!
Three new teachers will be joining us next term – Catherine Hawkins is moving into the area from Chichester, and Sarah Jackson and Georgie Furlonger, two of our current student teachers are moving into class teacher roles. Chloe Stent, our third student has been recruited by Earlswood School in Redhill. I will let you know the new teaching teams after the half term break.
Along with many of our children and families, I'm looking forward to the fun run this Sunday. It's so encouraging to see how keen the children are to keep fit and healthy. I know that many of you, as well as several staff, also enjoy the weekly Park Run at Stoke Park which is a great initiative. Big congratulations go to Toby this week in Year 2 as he celebrates his fiftieth Park Run!
Thinking about being healthy, reminds me to ask you to help reinforce our healthy eating message at breaktimes. We ask that children only bring fruit or veg snacks – this will also keep our sites tidier with less litter produced from wrappers, cartons and crisp packets. Thank you for your support in this.
Finally, a big thank you to all those who have already completed our annual survey. If you haven't yet done so, the opportunity is still there until next Friday. Every response is useful for giving a complete picture of how we are doing, so please do take the time to fill it in if you can. I've resent the link as a parent mail – just ignore it if you've already replied. Many thanks for all your feedback.
With best wishes
Fluffy Friday – Friday 26th May 2017
Sainsbury's Active Kids Vouchers – there is still time to check in your wallets and purses, coat pockets and kitchen drawers for any vouchers that you may still have - every one counts! Thank you to those parents who have already given us their vouchers.

How to Test Shockwave & Flashby Fred Larrey
Shockwave and Flash are both platforms originally made by Macromedia, now Adobe products, that deliver animated content to the web. Shockwave is used primarily for game playing, whereas Flash covers games, watching video, ad banners, web navigation and more. In order to use either of these programs, you have to have the Shockwave and Flash players installed. When that's done, you can test the platforms separately by going to Adobe sponsored test sites.
Step 1
Open your web browser. If you've installed Flash and Shockwave, your browser should automatically display Shockwave and Flash content on the web.
Step 2
To test Shockwave, open the "Test Shockwave" link in the Resources section below. At the top of the page you should the "Macromedia Shockwave Player" logo come flying in along with some animation, and then a screen on the right of the logo that says "Installation Complete." There will also be "Create," "See," and "About" buttons in the bottom right corner that supply you with more information about Shockwave when moused-over.
To test Flash, open the "Test Flash" link in the Resources section below. You should see a fancy animation, including animated movie trailers, and then "Adobe Flash Successfully Installed" on the screen.

The line between a woman either defying or succumbing to peer (or non peer) pressure and her simply making decisions based on personal preference can be mighty thin. How can you tell at a glance which is the case? Or do you simply assume based on your biases?
Black women catch a lot of heat for some of the personal appearance decisions they make. Like it or not, plan to or not, their grooming choices immediately become political statements. At least they are interpreted as statements by certain black women and perhaps by a number of black men as well.
If a black woman relaxes her hair (or adds extensions, or wears a wig sometimes, or whatever other trick has been concocted to create an illusion in place of reality) it's because she has been bombarded with imagery from white owned fashion magazines. She has succumbed to the Eurocentric definition of beauty and opted to become as white looking as possible. So goes one take on the matter.
Asian women have straight hair. Why can't black women be emulating them or Native Americans or some other non-white so therefore non-oppressor culture?
There are innumerable versions of beauty and no shortage of ways for a woman to mask perceived imperfections and emphasize her favorite features as she sees best. The sun tans some faces and reddens others. Thin lipped women may desire a fuller pout. Jeans pull off various tricks in showcasing a posterior. A woman looks in the mirror and ponders how to make it a better friend. She works with what she's got and what she can purchase at a reasonable price. The calculations made are quite fascinating. It's amazing in some cases how different the After can look from the Before when skill combines with will. But is all powerful vanity not sufficient motivation for these alterations? Must we seek deeper meaning when God given shallowness adequately summarizes?
Why can't a black woman simply not feel like fighting with the comb, decide to go at least temporarily with a more easily manageable option? Many men shave their head low or bald because it is low maintenance, allows them to spend minimal time fussing with their 'do. Can't a black woman desire a style she can quickly run a comb through or twist in a braid or pigtail or whatever without renouncing Harriet Tubman in the process? Can't a woman desire a little more length? Hey, I'm still talking about hair here, keep your thoughts clean. Black women aren't the only people who alter the dynamic of their hair. Is a white woman without naturally straight, flowing strands who decides to relax it making the statement that she wants to be perceived as Whiter? If someone with straight hair decides to grow dredlocks (sightings of a White or Asian person with dreds always makes me slightly double take) this is typically seen as paying homage, no? Not a sign of disgust with the race they were born into. Why is it only acceptable for respectful mimicry of another culture to go in one direction? Eminem continues to be a superstar but when is the last time you heard from that Hootie and the Blowfish guy? Okay, maybe I'm stretching a bit too far. Let me stick with hair.
I personally would not make a follicular decision that didn't allow me to jump into a pool or that equaled the expense of my monthly mortgage payments. But that's my choice made strictly for practical and economic reasons, not a declaration of either racial solidarity or defection. If I was a woman perhaps I'd reconsider what I was willing to pay monetarily and in convenience. But I'm not, so I proudly pee standing up while my hair does whatever it is it feels like doing.
If a black woman chooses to wear her hair naturally, it's considered a political statement by many even if not to the woman herself. By doing nothing special she's supposedly making the commentary that she's proud of who and what she is. Maybe, maybe not. Since when is doing nothing issuing a statement other than: "Nothing"? Perhaps she is proud of herself and ever so grateful for the ethnicity she was born into, perhaps she barely gives it a thought, but how the hell can we reach a verdict based strictly on her hairstyle? Non-black women wear their hair the way it grows out their head all the time. This isn't seen as a sign of White pride, Asian pride, Latina pride. It just is. Being natural isn't supposed to be a complicated negotiation, it's meant to be no more or less than…natural. Correct?
Life is hard, probably a little harder if you're a woman rather than penis possessor, probably a little harder the more melanin is in your skin. Why make things even more difficult for yourself by constantly defending when you're not necessarily under attack, constantly attacking an enemy who has no idea they are supposed to be at war with you?
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe every morning when every black woman walks into her bathroom and decides how she wishes to look as she greets the world that day, she's composing a political manifesto.
Then again, perhaps she wants to feel reasonably attractive to whoever she finds herself attracted to, but otherwise she mostly just wants to go about her business and could care less what conclusions have been reached about her by you, me, or anyone else she isn't beholden to.
Plenty of people are out looking for meaning, and purpose, and causes to fight for and against. The result is that they will translate whatever they see as something to either hail or deride. This seems like an exhausting way to live, but it is your right and I'll do nothing to take it away from you.
But surely there are others: women and men, black and white, kinky, curly, straight, or frizzy headed - who simply wish to be. We should all have the right to just be.
A comb is a tool to enhance her beauty however a woman sees fit. A comb should not be viewed as a sword and will fail miserably if deployed in such a manner. It wasn't invented for use as a political weapon, and neither should be the hair it goes through. It's all good.
Naturally Hairy Situation
White Women, Black Hairstyles
p.s. - Apparently it's not all good. Since I wrote the above I learned via Twitter that this advertisement is supposed to offend me as a black man.
Huh? Now I will concede that I don't see anything particularly clever going on. The point that I'd be better off purchasing Nivea face/body shave lotion is weakly made at best. But what is it exactly that's racist about the picture? I saw it said someplace that since the decapitated head has an afro the ad indicates afros are an uncivililzed hairdo. So by this theory black men aren't left out of the wear it natural or else have a sell out hairstyle either, even though I don't see too many brothas walking around with weaves and thank God the conk is mostly a thing of the past. The hair on the thrower's head is just as natural as that on the dude about to be tossed, just cut considerably shorter. Is a close cut dome copying white culture? Nah, that can't be it. I have officially lost count of how many things I'm supposed to be offended by. Plenty of other people though always seem able to find the next thing...and the next...and the next...
p.p.s. - Latest twist of absurdity in hair issue. Can white women join the natural hair movement too?
p.p.p.s - Some more hair based slander thrown in for good measure

Revolution, By John S. Hatch
-- --
President Bush was recently criticized for not being forceful enough in denouncing Chinese human rights abuses during a trip there. Excuse me? This is the torture president. How on earth can the United States preach to anyone in the world about human rights or the rule of law, or morality? In even raising the question, has Mr. Bush abandoned any claim to sanity? If it is wrong for China to abuse human rights (and it's true that their record is horrible) how is it acceptable for the US in Iraq to sexually torture imprisoned children as a means to coerce their (probably completely innocent) parents to disclose information they most likely don't have?
There is within the mythology America finds so indispensable something so sick and downright evil, but so pervasive that even after all the revelations of torture and rape and murder sanctioned at the highest levels of government, even now the numbness persists, and writers still insist on thinking that America is somehow a shining example of decency to a world which needs its sanctimonious preaching. Who in their right mind would want to emulate America in this century? Who on earth would want to be an American in this darkest of times? America is like a born-again Christian fundamentalist—mean, ignorant, full of hate and rage and superstition, but utterly convinced of his own righteousness. In short, insane. Dangerously insane.
In Iraq American sanctioned and trained elements of the Iraqi military are back to using electric drills on 'insurgents', an old Saddam phenomenon. Drill for oil, drill for blood. They'll drill your knee, or your arm, or your head. You are innocent. Doesn't matter. Think George cares? White phosphorous. Depleted uranium. Shock and awe. Cluster bombs. Etcetera. Where are those photographs and videos of children undergoing torture at Abu Grahaib that a judge ordered released months ago? Whatever happened to the rule of law? Where did accountability go? Where the hell is the outrage? Why are Bush and Rumsfeld and Rice and a bunch of others not in jail cells? Where is the outrage?
For those who think that change is coming in '06 or '08, think again—these people cannot relinquish power, whatever further lies and outrages they must commit to retain it. There are simply too many crimes against humanity and war crimes for which to avoid accountability at all costs. Lives depend on it. Many more crimes are yet to be reported. Do not for a moment consider that this bunch would not, if they saw it in their interests, engineer another deadly 911 incident (blamed on Muslims, of course) to once again terrorize the populace into meek submission. It may be pathologically manipulative and barbaric, but that's Straussian politics. To them it's not only acceptable, it's business as usual. It's probably going to happen, as Bush's numbers continue to decline.
America has seen bad times—slavery, the civil war, McCarthyism and communist hysteria, never-ending racism, Nixon and Kissinger, the unheralded horror of Reagan, but Bush has brought disaster on a completely different level. Bush is a dupe, if an evil one, but there are truly ugly, nasty people pulling his strings. Nothing short of a second American revolution is going to rescue your nation. Even now Bush is making plans to violently stop such a thing from happening. We're going to see once and for all if Americans stand for the vaunted values to which they give such eloquent and loud lip service. If so, then I fear they will have to pay in blood. It's come to that. I'm sorry.

The purpose
Camping with the family was a bad idea. I forgot to take into account that my sisters have babies.
These babies have continuously disrupted my sleep for the past two nights, as well as prevented me from getting a moment's peace, until now.
We're on a short hike, and I've decided to hang back and let the others go on ahead... With the screaming babies.
This moment now has been the entire purpose of the trip up to this point... Sitting on a rock, listening to the birds and the rush of the river on the rocks below. Looking out over the lush green of the valley and hills before me, the only scent on the light breeze is the familiar sweet smell of the bushveld.
This is why I came

WizKids - Marvel HeroClix - Fantastic Forces
Wizkids has released some sneak previews of the next HeroClix expansion: Fantastic Forces.
After seeing some of the really cool dynamics they've used in other games like Mech Warrior and Mage Knights that make special use of multi-based pieces, I'm very glad to see that HeroClix is now following suit.
I hope these figures (as well as the new "transporter" figures, whatever they are) will add something valuable to the gameplay.

Afterlife telegrams
I thought this was a joke... but apparently it isn't. There are no words to describe the depths pseudoscientists will travel to to exploit the ignorant.
The best definition I've read so far
Science is the process of finding the truth through evidence collection, analysis, and most importantly, the willingness to change the hypothesis to fit the evidence. Belief systems [or as I like to call them, "pseudosciences"] use the process of accepting something as the truth with little or no evidence and the willingness to change the evidence or bias the data to fit the hypothesis. Belief systems are never allowed to change the hypothesis no matter how much evidence is presented.

For being such a bitch, that player is going to face the wrath of my Man-o-steel in the next tournament. She thought it was bad against Sinestro? She ain't seen nothin' yet.

Not too bad
I'm quite satisfied with my result in today's tournament.
I came third overall. That's the best I've ever done. I came third last time as well… at least I'm maintaining my position, not slipping back.
The tweaks to my deck seemed to make a little difference, but I've identified a few more tweaks to make. Although I'm sure some special treatment from a special lady this morning is what really made me do as well as I did.
Next month we're having a 1st Edition tournament instead… for old times sake. I'll be trying to remember my old Federation deck, but I fear no one will be able to stand up to the old Borg Anti-Time Anomaly deck that used to terrorize our player group back when 1E was still all there was. But we'll see how it goes. I may be able to take a shot at 3rd place again.

"I'm sorry"
Have you ever really stopped to consider whether or not you really mean it?
To me an apology is only sincere if it includes, or at least implies, three essential messages that I like to call the 3 R's. It has to have all three, or the apology is empty and meaningless… essentially a lie.
The acknowledgement that you have done something wrong. If you don't believe you've committed an offense, why are you apologizing?
Admitting to feeling bad about what you've done, or at least wishing you hadn't done it. Again, if you're glad you did it; your apology would be a lie.
Repeat offense:
The guarantee that you won't do it again. Obviously no one can see the future, and you never really know whether or not you will actually do it again, but you should at least try not to. If you know you're probably going to do it again next week, then again, your apology would be a lie.
If you accidentally bump into someone with your trolley in the supermarket, a quick "Sorry!" is called for… because chances are it meets the 3R requirements.
But often we do things to people that we know are wrong or hurtful, but we persist in doing them, knowingly and habitually, for whatever reason. Apologizing in such a situation is not called for. It wouldn't be truthful, and therefore offering it would be a further offense.
So next time you're about to tell someone how sorry you are, ask yourself if you really are sorry.

U.S.S. Enterprise-D: Personal Flagship
This card is the centrepiece of my Federation deck, and probably my favourite card in the game.
Since STCCG Second Edition was released, I was intrigued by the idea of the illusive 'Two-mission win'. I almost got it right with a Borg deck, but that was entirely dependant on my opponent forgetting about Locutus: Voice of the Borg's special ability: "While this personnel is facing a dilemma, if he uses his Diplomacy, Leadership, Officer or Treachery, score 10 points". I got it right once or twice, but never in tournament play… never underestimate your opponent.
I gave it up as a bad idea and went back to my own Federation deck… a little slow, but reliable. That was until the Fractured Time expansion.
I liked the look of the ship, and decided to pull it in for pure coolness factor… plus the high Attributes give it increased resistance to Borg assimilation attempts and Klingon raids (an increasing problem in our tournament group). And since it gave me a bonus with Leadership and Honor, I decided to change from an Astrometrics, Physics, Science based Mission set to a Leadership, Honor Security one… then I found Signal for Rescue… a Federation planet mission requiring both Leadership AND Honor worth 45 points!
If I have the Enterprise-D in orbit as I complete the mission, that gets increased to 55 points… if I happen to have the U.S.S. Enterprise-E: Federation Envoy there as well, that's an extra 5 points! All I need is 40 points from a space mission, and I've got my 2-mission win!
How do I do that? Military Exercises and Intercept Renegade are both 35-point space missions requiring Leadership… so my Enterprise-D gives me a bonus 5 points for either! That's 100 points, baby! Count 'em!
Since Leadership, Honor and Security are easy for a Federation crew to accumulate, it's no worries! It's just down to Dilemma dodging… but I have a few tricks up my sleeve for that.
The only trick to this deck is ensuring I get my Enterprises out quickly. To that end, I have 3 copies of each, plus multiple matching commanders, Would you Like a Trip to Romulus (and an Kathryn Janeway: Wry Admiral thrown in for insurance) as well as a Miles O'Brian: Smiley to make the ships cheaper when they arrive, and voila!
It's not fool-proof, and the deck is still a little slow, but on my last tournament I pulled the 2-mission win twice! When it works, it works beautifully.

This semester students in the Padnos College of Engineering and Computing, Seidman College of Business and College of Education are collaborating to design, build, deliver and install solar powered medical devices to one of the most remote and underserved regions of the world. Once built these devices will provide physicians with light, suction and auxiliary power for up to two days. This functionality is critical in a part of the world where frequent and unexpected blackouts are common place and often have major implications for patients and doctors.
Throughout this project Justin Melick, Digital Media Developer on the GVSU eLearning team, will be documenting the process of designing, building and delivering these devices to create a short documentary on the project that will be used to secure funding to continue this project in future semesters.
In order to fund this project, the team at GVSU will be participating in the 5×5 Night competition on March 23rd. To have the opportunity to present, the team needs your help to finish in the top five of the public vote.

What is an Immigration Invitation Letter?
An immigration invitation letter is a letter written by a citizen or permanent resident of a country on behalf of a foreign national who wishes to visit. The contents of the letter may vary by jurisdiction, but usually the letter includes information about the letter writer, the person on whose behalf the letter is written, and details of the foreign nationals proposed. Invitation letters are not always required as part of the immigration process, but can be very useful in helping visitors both establish their reasons for visiting and show that they will be able to feed and house themselves during their stay.
A common situation in which an immigration invitation letter may be required is when someone wishes to visit a friend or family member who lives in another country. Even if the visitor does not normally need to get a visa prior to making the trip, the letter can help prevent delays or confusion when the visitor arrives in the country and speaks to an immigration official. Another circumstance in which such a letter may be necessary is when a business person visits another country to attend a conference, business meeting, or other event. Owing to concerns that a business person may be engaging in work or trade that is restricted by immigration laws, an immigration invitation letter that explains the short-term nature of the visit can help prevent a situation in which the business traveler is declined entry into the country.
In many places, including the United States, there is no one set format for writing an immigration invitation letter. A good approach may be for letter writers to clearly state their name, address, and citizenship status at the beginning of the letter. Once they have established their identity, they should also state the name of their visitor as it appears on the visitor's passport. They should then explain the nature and the duration of the trip as well as their relationship to the visitor. If the letter writer plans to provide accommodation, meals, or other forms of support, he should state this as well and may want to attach information about his home or a copy of his lease.
It is important to remember that just because someone is issued an immigration invitation letter does not mean that immigration officials will grant the request for a visa or permit the person to enter the country. The immigration invitation letter is just another part of standard immigration paperwork,and is subject to scrutiny. If the information in the letter is not consistent with other statements made by the traveler or information contained in other immigration forms, the application to enter the country may be denied.

Probably the most complete multi-nutrient ever produced for men.
Ordinary supplements use isolated vitamins, not the complexed forms found in food that the body expects to eat. As a major advance True Food® vitamins and minerals are fermented in a special culture, which complexes them organically, just as they would be in any true food.
Independent studies show that True Food® nutrients are more effective than isolated nutrients, so much lower intakes of True Food® nutrients are needed than with regular supplements.
True Food All Man provides all vitamins and essential minerals, additional minerals believed to play roles in human health, other antioxidant factors, brain foods and amino acids plus a wide spectrum of botanicals selected for men, and a hardy probiotics for digestive well-being.
Three vegetable capsules provide:
Suggested intake: We recommend three capsules daily, one with each meal.

Making Booker Weed America's next household name is a huge undergoing. I'm just a former aerospace supervisor who got laid off and thought, "What am I going to do the rest of my life?" Screenprinting from my garage didn't work so well, loading UPS trucks gave me tendanitis, and customer service at a Shell gas station made me fat eating the snacks that surrounded me to stay awake.
When God speaks to you it may not be something you hear but it penetrates your heart and soul as it did mine the week following the end of my aerospace career. I simply asked, "God, what would you have me do?" His reply: "You're going to minister to kids and have to fly to do it." I became a yoyo professional and for the last ten years I have been blessed to speak to more than 1.3 million kids worldwide and encourage them to become champions in school and in life as a NED Show performer for All For Kidz, Inc.
Inspired by my notorious childhood and the word God spoke to me I have wrtten my first book in the series, "Kids Have Ups and Downs Too!" starring Booker Weed. For me to minister to kids and continue to fly to do it Booker Weed must become a household name. If I can reach over a million kids in person imagine how many more kids I can reach with a successful series of kids books. Please Like my Fertile Ground Creations Fan Page to learn more about Booker Weed and me. Sharing on Facebook is huge so thanks for that!

We were lucky to make some friends at the art collective we stayed at in Huatulco, Oaxaca who are involved in the conservation efforts of the local marine ecology. They let us tag along and even hop into the water to film and photograph the releasing of TWO HUNDRED BABY SEA TURTLES onto the beach!
Each at their own pace, they scuttled or wandered about, some zipping straight off into the surf, others taking lots of encouragement and almost half an hour to make it to the water. Every one of them was completely upended and tossed about by the waves. It was funny to see them struggling so knowing that, soon, they will be masters of the wave.
I think I felt, for the first time, a little tinge of what it must be like for a mother to watch her silly little ones fumbling off into the world with their assortment of under and over-developed limbs all flailing about, getting tossed and turned, about to begin a perilous century-long journey whose end no one can know. (HI, MOM. LOVE YOU. WE ALL LOVE OUR MOMS. AND EACH OTHER'S MOMS.)
I'll stop now and let the pictures do the talking.

LinkedIn's New Enterprise Sales Tool Could Be Big For B2B Marketers
A new LinkedIn product geared towards salespeople may soon be a mainstay in b-to-b marketing departments.
The product, a standalone, more powerful iteration of LinkedIn's Sales Navigator functionality, will offer a curated stream of updates from target accounts , surfacing the type of data -- job changes, press announcements, status updates and blog posts -- that can help b-to-b marketers more effectively drum up the sales-ready leads they're tasked with generating.
"This idea of having a standalone experience with a list of accounts and insights pushed to you, none of that existed before," said Sachin Rekhi, group product manager at LinkedIn.
Much of a b-to-b marketer's time can be spent combing through the web to find information on individual prospects and target accounts, which can give a company an edge when trying to win business. This product is meant to help people searching for those insights find them more effectively. Users start off by inputting the industry, job functions, seniority levels and accounts they're looking at and the product does the rest, building the stream and learning as it goes.
Companies with buyers in finance functions, for instance, will be shown news stories about target accounts when the CFO is mentioned. The product can also push status updates from leads after its users save them individually
The new Sales Navigator is likely to be used heavily by companies' lead-generation departments -- meeting setters for sales which often sit in marketing. But the implications spread across b-to-b marketing which, despite talk of new tactics, is still at its core tasked with generating new leads, gathering intel on target accounts and providing industry insight to sales and the c-suite.
The information can also be pushed back and forth between Sales Navigator and client relationship management tools such as Salesforce. Leads and accounts from within a CRM tool, for instance, can sync with Sales Navigator, enabling it to start surfacing information about them. When accessing a prospect record within a CRM tool, LinkedIn information can show up, providing a deeper picture of the prospect.
Data on leads, such as a job changes, might also be useful in scoring leads to prioritize and tailor messaging, a task usually performed by marketing-automation tools. But for now, Mr. Rekhi said, Sales Navigator does not integrate with marketing-automation systems.
"We're seeing the CRM tool as the real hub that our customers have asked us to integrate deeply with," he said.

Project of the Month: The Peterman Family
One of our favorite parts of our design process at Finished Basement Company is how well we get to know each family that we design a space for. Our designers work closely with each family to make sure that their designed space perfectly fits their individual needs. One of our recent projects, a basement with the Peterman family, provided designer Jean Smith an opportunity to learn about and develop a relationship with this wonderful family.
Jean Smith recalls her experience working with the family, "The Peterman's were truly a joy to work with! Brad and Kelli came with great design ideas and inspiration every step of the way beginning in our initial design stage. They wanted to incorporate rustic elements and materials that would bring their unfinished space to life for entertaining and daily family use. We worked collaboratively on all of the design details from light fixtures to selecting the specific barn wood planks. Their positive energy and thoughtful design ideas made the design process through construction an exciting experience. The finished project is truly a showcase of the Peterman's eclectic style inspired by a cabin in Brainerd, along with unique features we designed by working together. I am so pleased with the way the space turned out!"
Where did your initial design inspiration come from? (i.e. Pinterest, Houzz, home walkthrough, FBC website, etc.)
Our design inspiration came from a cabin we rented in Brainerd, MN this past year.
How did your designer(s) collaborate with you to create the final designs?
We went to the FBC office after meeting with the initial designer in our home. We looked at samples and took the best of a few designs they proposed, and then combined them to come up with our final design – fun process!
What was your favorite part of the design-build process and why?
Meeting with the design team, coming up with ideas and also picking out materials
Prior to the project, what were some of your biggest concerns, and how did your project team help address them?
Having elements done in the basement that we, or they, have not seen or done before. They had contractors come out and explain to us how the process would work for each piece.
How did your project manager address any issues or set-backs during the construction process?
Anytime we fell behind schedule or had issues, he would get involved to get us back on schedule or solve the issues we had.
What is your family's favorite element of your newly finished space?
Bookshelf doors and heated concrete counter tops.
How do you use your finished space? (i.e. day to day, entertaining, kids parties, crafting, etc.)
Sunday sports, movie nights, and get-togethers with friends.
PS: everyone has been "wowed" by our basement … we've even had friends make lists of what they wanted to incorporate into their basements, and others saying "I would live down here, if this were my basement!!"
We cannot thank you enough, Jean, for your hard work, you were so personable and easy to work with – as was the rest of FBC.
The design process and quality relationship that our designers develop with their clients makes becoming our BFF (Basement Friend Forever), an amazing and rewarding experience.

Jeff Frankel defends his argument that the high oil prices are primarily attributable to low interest rates. According to Frankel's theory, low interest rates lead to an expectation of rising oil prices, which provides an incentive to build up oil inventories (because the stored oil can be sold later at a higher price). Frankel admits that inventory levels haven't risen enough support his theory, but notes that storing oil isn't the only way oil producers respond to interest rates:
Stocks of oil held in deposits underground dwarf those held in inventories aboveground, and the decision how much to produce is subject to the same calculations trading off interest rates against expected future appreciation that apply to inventories. (The classic reference is Hotelling's Rule.) Apparently the Saudis have decided to leave theirs in the ground. "King Abdullah, the country's ruler, put it more bluntly: 'I keep no secret from you that, when there were some new finds, I told them, 'No, leave it in the ground, with grace from God, our children need it'.'" (Financial Times 19 May).In other words, instead of extracting oil and storing it in inventories, oil producers are just keeping the oil in the ground. This is certainly a plausible explanation for the case of the missing oil inventories. Paul Krugman has challenged the people who believe there's an oil bubble: "Tell me where you think the excess supply of crude is going." If Frankel is right, the answer would be: Nowhere—it's staying in the ground. Now, I'm not sure if Frankel actually is right, but it's certainly possible that oil producers are leaving oil in the ground instead of storing it in inventories. As a recent research note from the Dallas Fed notes: "So far, new supplies haven't materialized quickly enough to keep up with growth in world demand." The most popular explanation for the high oil prices is that world demand is rising while supply is stagnating. But suppose that Frankel is right, and that oil producers really are leaving oil in the ground because of the low interest rates. That would mean that some of the apparent stagnation in the supply of oil is just an illusion: oil producers could be keeping up with the rising demand, but the low interest rates are inducing them to keep more oil in the ground, thereby creating the appearance of stagnating oil supply. I'm still not ready to fully buy into Frankel's argument, but it's definitely the explanation I'm rooting for!

As I was saying: freedom to think what you want to think, when you want to think it – an inner life, in other words – is one of our very most prizable possessions. Pulling your own strings from the inside, as it were, no matter what else may be going on out there beyond your reach: that's stoic freedom.
And that's the Stoics' fundamental presumption, mirrored in William James's attentive version of free will. More on that later in CoPhi, when we pick up John Lachs' Stoic Pragmatism.
Inner freedom so expressed is a variant on a familiar prayer for serenity as something reasonable to pray, work, and strive for.
May we have grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things we can and should, and wisdom to know the difference.
There are different versions of Reinhold Niebuhr's prayer, but the core of it is a stoically steely resolve to focus one's energies on what might actually be responsive to them. Instead, we too frequently squander time and tranquility trying to move immovable objects and then go crazy when they resist our wills.
I don't pray, myself, except in a quasi-Emersonian way.
Prayer is the contemplation of the facts of life from the highest point of view. It is the soliloquy of a beholding and jubilant soul… But prayer as a means to effect a private end is meanness and theft. It supposes dualism and not unity in nature and consciousness.
Quasi, I say, because unlike Emerson I don't toss the term "god" around lightly, and wouldn't presume to channel His or It's spirit in my own soliloquies. I think (and feel) those to be my own self-reliant affair. The sort of prayer that takes to bended knee and beseeches god(s) for favor, on the other hand, feels servile and phony to me. I'm not very churchable.
But I do endorse The Sage's refusal to beg for cheap and selfish ends. All worthy actions are prayerful in a nobler sense, for a truly free and natural earthly spirit. "The prayer of the farmer kneeling in his field to weed it, the prayer of the rower kneeling with the stroke of his oar…"
Or how about the prayer of the cyclist arched over his bike? I "prayed" before class yesterday, all the way from Percy Priest Dam to the Shelby Bottoms Bridge. I felt free, and full of grace.
And then at 3 am I felt cramps below the knees. Too late to hope or pray I die before I get old, though that was never my preference anyway.
So today it's back on the bike, continuing to pedal-pray for courage and wisdom. And luck. And a foot massage would be nice. I'm not begging, just puttin' it out there.

Product descriptions and colour accuracy
We have taken great care to ensure that Fabric Godmother product descriptions are accurate.
However, we cannot completely guarantee colour accuracy. This is firstly because colour resolutions on computer monitors can vary, so we cannot completely guarantee what our customers are seeing.
Secondly, when photographing fabrics it can, at times, be tricky to achieve an exact colour match – conditions such as lighting can sometimes affect the result. To ensure your chosen fabric is the desired shade, we recommend first ordering a free Fabric Godmother fabric sample (see above).
For advice on shades, colour matching and if you have any questions regarding out stock, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Product availability
Fabric Godmother products are subject to availability.
On occasion, we only have a limited amount of a certain fabric, and it could be that the fabric you have ordered is no longer available. If this is the case, we will contact you as soon as possible and offer the choice between a full refund and an alternative item of equal value.
When a product is temporarily out of stock, you can back order it. This means we have either already ordered more of this particular product from our suppliers and are waiting to receive it, or, on receiving your order, we will place an order for more.
Delivery time for items that have been back-ordered is generally longer than our standard delivery times, and times can vary depending on the item. If you have any questions about delivery times, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Making a purchase
Before paying for your chosen Fabric Godmother items, customers have the option of registering to create an account (or logging in if already registered).
Registering is completely optional, but it does allow you to pass through check-out more quickly on future visits.

The topographic map of visual space in the sSC is retinotopic.⇒
The uni-sensory, multi-sensory and motor maps of the superior colliculus are in spatial register.⇒
Neural responses in the sc to spatially and temporally coincident cross-sensory stimuli can be much stronger than responses to uni-sensory stimuli.
In fact, they can be much greater than the sum of the responses to either stimulus alone.⇒
Neural responses (in multi-sensory neurons) in the sc to spatially disparate cross-sensory stimuli is usually weaker than responses to uni-sensory stimuli.⇒
The superior colliculus receives input from various sensory brain areas. According to King, these inputs are uni-sensory, as far as we know.⇒
According to King, the principal function of the SC is initiating gaze shifts.⇒
Alais and Burr found in an audio-visual localization experiment that the ventriloquism effect can be interpreted by a simple cue weighting model of human multi-sensory integration:
Their subjects weighted visual and auditory cues depending on their reliability. The weights they used were consistent with MLE. In most situations, visual cues are much more reliable for localization than are auditory cues. Therefore, a visual cue is given so much greater weight that it captures the auditory cue.⇒

"Sir, we joined the Marine Corps because the Marine Corps has a set of standards and values that is better than that of the civilian sector," the Marine sergeant explained to Gates. "And we have gone and changed those values and repealed the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. We have not given the Marines a chance to decide whether they wish to continue serving under that. Is there going to be an option for those Marines that no longer wish to serve due to the fact their moral values have not changed?"
To which Gates replied, "No, you'll have to complete your ... enlistment just like everybody else," adding, "The reality is that you don't all agree with each other on your politics, you don't agree with each other on your religion, you don't agree with each other on a lot of things. But you still serve together. And you work together. And you look out for each other. And that's all that matters."
Referring to the ongoing sensitivity training now underway throughout the armed services (photo above), designed to convince and/or intimidate military personnel into receiving homosexual soldiers into their ranks, Gates assured his leatherneck audience that if all goes according to plan, "nothing will change. You will still have to abide by the same rules of behavior, the same discipline, the same respect for each other that has been the case through all the history of the Marine Corps."
In its efforts to assist soldiers in transitioning to a pro-homosexual military, the Defense Department has launched a series of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" websites that include, among other features, patriotically themed video messages from military leaders reminding soldiers that it is their duty to embrace homosexual colleagues; Frequently Asked Questions pages telling soldiers what will happen if they do not (and informing them that "consensual sodomy between consenting adults … is a protected liberty"); and a series of upbeat articles assuring one and all that the nation's military leaders expect few problems with implementation of the repeal.
But Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council noted that after all the expert testimony warning DOD and Congress about the consequences, and with all the resources and effort the Pentagon is expending on preparing for implementation, "it's incredibly disingenuous to suggest that the military won't be affected by repeal."
Noted Perkins: "This isn't a change — it's a complete upheaval for the entire force. More than anyone, Secretary Gates should understand the major implications for the two million-plus active duty and reserve personnel. Whether the issue is as broad as religious freedom or as basic as bunks and bathrooms, forcing the military to embrace open homosexuality will have real and devastating consequences for the men and women in uniform."
Colonel Ron Ray (USMC, retired), a decorated veteran of the Vietnam conflict and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan administration, pointed out to The New American that since President Obama's announcement in his State of the Union Address that he intended to pursue the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," Defense Secretary Gates has been in full support of the move "despite the consistent and overwhelming opposition from senior military leaders reaching back many decades and confirmed in three different polls of active and retired Flag and General Officers."
Ray noted that the media has spared no effort to cast the repeal as an issue of "civil rights" or "discrimination," although such issues cannot be reconciled with sodomy and other deviant homosexual behaviors, which "have been incompatible with American military service since 1775," said Ray. He added that the U.S. military's Exemplary Conduct standards "demand self-sacrifice, virtue, honor, subordination, patriotism, and uniformity which require duty above any self interest"— standards that Gates and other mouthpieces for a homosexualized military have somehow overlooked.
One significant ruling on the issue that rarely see the light of day in the debate over homosexuals in the military is Steffan v. Perry (1994), a test case heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1994, a year after the enactment of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Col. Ray, who filed a brief in the case on behalf of the Naval Aviation Foundation, First Principles Press, and other General Officer groups, recalled that by a seven to three margin the ten-judge panel ruled to uphold the "founding principle of our military that 'homosexuality is incompatible with American military service.'"
Furthermore, the court ruled that any indication of homosexual orientation, even without homosexual behavior, was illegal under existing military law, "and regulations and any discharge from the Naval Services was constitutional," recalled Ray.
Col. Ray emphasized that "for more than 230 years, the U.S. Armed Forces has had fundamental military first principles. Those first principles became statutes, enacted three times by Congress, as recently as 1997, and titled Exemplary Conduct, written by John Adams and six other founders. The statutes instruct our military and Congressional leaders, and declare open homosexuality is incompatible with military service."
While President Obama signed the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," repeal in December, the policy will remain officially in place until 60 days after the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify to Congress that the Armed Forces are prepared to move ahead with the repeal.
Ray said that America's military faces a crisis as the latest move by the President and Defense Department threatens to "institutionalize perversion" in the nation's armed forces. "No longer will military leaders need to be 'vigilant to guard against and suppress immoral and dissolute behaviors' in America's military institution," Col. Ray told The New American. "Mr Gates is wrong, and great change is afoot. This is the dawning of a new 'moral order,' not only in the U.S. military, but ultimately in the nation at large."

Sometimes the revisional surgery is something which is expected following a breast reduction or reconstructive procedure. In such cases you would have been advised of this during the planning stages of your surgery.
Unfortunately sometimes revisional surgery may also be required to correct a previous surgery where something went wrong, leaving the patient with a disappointing result.
Regardless for your reasons behind seeking a revision of your breast surgery, it is important to discern whether further surgery is necessary in order to correct the breast placement, or rectify and possible replace aged or undesired implants.
Revisional breast surgery is a delicate procedure which requires highly detailed knowledge of the procedure which was previously performed. Dr Carmen Munteanu's advanced experience in breast surgery of all varieties gives her unparalleled expertise to help you achieve the results you desire.
Why choose breast revision surgery?
Dr Carmen Munteanu performs revision surgery for concerns such as:
Planning for breast revision surgery
During your pre-operative consultation, Dr Munteanu will compassionately address the previous breast surgery and determine which revision technique is necessary to refine the breasts.
It is very important to discern whether further surgery is part of a plan, of a staged approach, or whether it is required to correct something that went wrong.
Any information about your previous surgery is paramount to understanding the intrinsic details. This will help Dr Carmen produce the highest quality breast correction.
She will discuss the advantages and risks involved, and ensure you understand every aspect of the procedure so you can make a well-informed decision.

Not even Andrew Scott's electrifying performance can save this disappointing production.
Naturally, when I saw that the Royal Court's Birdland featured Andrew Scott (he of Sherlock fame), I jumped at the chance to book tickets. Indeed, Scott does deliver. He plays Paul, a rock star who's slowly being corrupted by fame, with brilliant energy – for the entire performance, he is lively, electric and mesmerising. The pure dynamism which he brings to the play is captivating – energetic dance moves segue into pseudo-psychopathic changes in voice, bringing to life this flawed and troubled musician.
Unfortunately, not even this brilliance can save Birdland. As soon as we turn away from Scott to focus on the rest of the production, the charade falls apart. The story makes little sense – it has no focus, jumping all over the place from one forgettable scenario to another, with little character development along the way. The basic idea is that Paul is on the last legs of a world tour, and his life is starting to crumble around him. Through acts of betrayal, contempt and pure madness, we get a glimpse at his inner, fractured psyche. But the plot arcs are muddled and blurred, serving to create a narrative where the intentions of the character never make sense. Coupled with the ending that comes out of nowhere and leaves you utterly perplexed and unfulfilled, and you have one of the most bafflingly inane plays in recent memory.
This isn't helped by the script, which simply moves from cliche to cliche. It's groan worthy at times (very few of the jokes are actually funny), and when delivered by a relatively weak supporting cast (none of whom really suit the roles they've been placed in), it falls flat. Worst of all, it's dull. I spent the vast majority of the runtime waiting for it to finally finish – never a good sign.
The cherry on the awful cake is the set design, which is utterly dismal. It tries to be clever, with a minimalist design, some sort of moat and a moving centrepiece, but it ends up feeling try-hard, adding little to the show. It's utilised poorly, and the fact that it's so drab just adds to the overall feeling of boredom.
Other than Scott, who is truly brilliant, there is little reason to watch Birdland. It's just about competent, but it achieves little more than this. It's a shame, as Scott does all he can with the material he's given. The substance just isn't there. Ironically, this play about a fallen entertainer is poor entertainment itself.
Birdland is running at the Royal Court until May 31.

Hi everyone,
Several students did optional computer projects this year. The first is a finite field calculator, which will multiply elements of a finite field. These are respresented as polynomials in x, a primitive element. To find out what polynomial is being used to generate the finite field, try multiply the appropriate power of x.
Finite Field Calculator by Michael Buckley
Finite Field Calculator by David Haley
The second is a permutation calculator. It will conjugate, multiply and find inverses for permutations on as many as 9 elements.
