There is, however, such a person as Nikki Malvar. She is the very presentable person in the picture, and under the sobriquet "babyporridge," she makes YouTube videos as well as her own music on her MySpace page. At its best, her music reverberates with the kind of haunting notes and quirky lyrics reminiscent of The Roches or Suzanne Vega and is definitely worth a listen or two.
But where the mischievous Ms. Malvar made her most lasting impact on my neurons was with her YouTube videos, whose sublime silliness is about as far away from the reflectiveness of her songs as the Marx Brothers are from Jacques Brel. For quite some time, I wanted to put my bemused musings about her videos down on paper (or the electronic equivalent thereof), but I had no idea what to say: such anarchic absurdity can't be contained by the strict structures of nouns, prepositions, and adverbs.
Then, on July 1, 2008, the date of my aforementioned blog post, I was visiting her own blog, where she posted the picture of herself that you see below. I liked how most of the photograph was taken up by the empty space surrounding her, while her own image was scrunched into a corner. (Very "Zen," don't you think?) I immediately thought that the picture would make a good album cover and set about mocking up my own mock CD package. Not having any other way to show her the results, I posted the image here on my blog and let her know about it, fully expecting to delete the image once she had viewed it. However, after a couple of hours had hobbled away, I felt a fondness for the fake CD cover and asked Nikki if I could leave it up. She graciously consented, and I promised that I would write something about her on my world-famous blog.
Days went by. Then weeks. Then months. Summer turned to fall. America elected a new president. Fall turned to winter. Christmas came and went. High-School Musical 3 came out, and people actually went to see it. Nearly a year had passed, but I still hadn't written anything. Worse, I was feeling bad for not living up to a promise, so much so that I could barely bring myself to blog about anything at all. My blog, already sadly neglected, drifted into dereliction.
So, these comments are as much an effort to resuscitate my blog and assuage my guilt as they are an attempt to squeeze the square peg of my words into the round hole of the most indescribable videos on YouTube. When you watch a babyporridge video, don't expect a coherent story. Don't expect a comprehensible idea. Don't expect anything to make sense. All that you can reasonably expect is the sight of a young lass in her late-teens/early-20s frolicking in front of her video camera, sometimes showing off her musical skills, delighting in her own nonsensical sense of humor, and exuding her infectious zest for life.
Here's a video of hers called "I Was a Fetus Once," in which she announces her nineteenth birthday. In this shot, she's flipping a clear plastic ruler through her pitch-black locks. In the next shot, she's lip-synching to "Delicious Demon" by The Sugarcubes, sometimes clad in a black dress, sometimes in male drag with a mustache scribbled on the finger resting just below her nose. Now, she's concocting her famous booger soup (a recipe she obviously stole from Rachel Ray) and dancing around her kitchen. Did I miss anything? In her video "Paperbananas," she holds a banana in front of the lens. Wait a second! That's not a banana! That's an avocado with a hand-drawn sign saying "banana" tacked to it. Could've fooled me! The video titled "What Disney Left Unsaid" features her as Cinderella opposite herself as her own Shakira-wigged fairy godmother, singing in high-speed overcrank. What's it all about? Haven't the foggiest. But why am I laughing so hard?
Hmmm ... I've written this much without mentioning that babyporridge currently lives in Australia after spending her childhood in the Philippines, Malaysia, and the United States. So, even though she presently resides in Sydney, she sounds like she comes from middle America — give or take a broadened A or clipped R. There's no way of discretely inserting that info into this blog post. I'll need to find another way.
If anything can be said, it's this: babyporridge's baffling videos demonstrate how viewing habits and expectations have changed since the advent of digital video and its transmission on demand via computer. Back in the days before home video (yes, I was around then), the idea of watching an audiovisual presentation without a readily identifiable point to it would widely be seen as a waste of time. But with the availability of webcams and streaming video, any "rules" about what makes for a worthwhile viewing experience fly out the window. Now with YouTube, a cat playing the piano carries as much viewer fascination as Lucy Ricardo stuffing her face with chocolates. If instant video weren't just a mouse-click away, would there be room for the stupefying silliness of someone like babyporridge? And to what extent is the appeal of these videos connected to the concept of a virtual community? In other words, are some viewers drawn to videos like babyporridge's because they feel that they are getting to know someone socially?
But at the end of the day, babyporridge videos are fun to watch, pointlessness and all. They are reminders that some of life's magical moments don't need any meaning. Lewis Carroll understood that. Unfortunately, babyporridge/Nikki has not been particularly prolific of late. After a year or so of regularly producing about a video a week, she has made (or not deleted) only four videos in the last eight months. A much-needed hiatus? If so, she's earned it. Here's hoping, though, that the video gods will instill babyporridge with inspiration once again. Every now and then, the world needs to stop making sense.

It felt like summer had just begun, but I was already preparing for the first day of classes. After trying a bunch of classes and estimating my expected workload for the semester, I have settled on the following classes. I'm glad that I have a great mix of classes – technical, liberal arts and practical.
1) CS 4410 – Operating Systems
It's the last core course for the CS major. The class attempts to demystify operating systems through some essential abstractions and simple models. There is a 2-credit practicum class that comes along with this, which is notorious for its workload. Initially, I was planning on taking the practicum as well. In class, our professor was explaining the project schedule and said, "The next three weeks are going to be very intense because you'll have two projects due, but after that it will be just intense." Yesterday, I re-evaluated my time commitments and decided to drop the prac.
2) CS 4860 – Applied Logic
Last semester, I took a class on set theory so I would be well prepared to take this class. I'm not sure what the applied part of the class is, but I'm excited to learn about formal logic. Professor Anil Nerode, one of the founding members of Cornell's CS department, is teaching this class. Cornell CS was the fourth CS department in any university around the world; it recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. So Professor Nerode is old. He is old enough to have worked with Kurt Godel and met Von Neumann. His lectures are somewhat confusing, but they are worth attending for his anecdotes which feature several heroes of Math and CS.
3) CS 4999 – Independent Research
I'm continuing the research I was working on over the summer, with Professor Nate Foster. I have barely done anything for it since the beginning of the semester. In fact I have made the opposite of progress by breaking my local environment for developing the project. Lack of time for research is one reason I decided to drop OS prac.
4) LATA 4011 – Student Community Partnership in Ecuador
This is the class that I've been most excited about! As part of this class, I will be going to Ecuador in Winter break. We have had one guest lecturer so far and it was an enlightening lecture/workshop on critical reflection. You can read more about this on my class blog.
5) HIST 2749 – Mughal India and the Early Modern World
Although the class is about Mughal India's (1500-1800) place in the world at its time and its encounters with people beyond the Indian subcontinent, the bottomline is "how to think about history". So far, history has always been a bunch of assumptions,facts,events and causes and effects of these events. In this class, it's about critically analyzing history as it is presented to us. Who wrote this history? What are they arguing for? What are they not telling us? What are their motivations and biases? How can we study history without imposing current ideologies and identities onto the past? History is not facts about dead people, but a dynamic story pieced together with what evidence there is.

I'm fascinated by Seed Counterfeiting as a potential answer to the old puzzle of why there hasn't been a Green Revolution in Africa. As an explanation, it has a lot going for it: simple, parsimonious, straightforward and backed by a mountain of anecdote. Yet, at this point, the evidence really is that: just anecdote. Which leaves us open to an intriguing possibility: what if – and I have my devil's advocate cap squarely on as I pose this question – it's all a mirage? A kind of rural legend?
What's undoubted is that lots and lots of people believe seed counterfeiting is rife in East Africa. Stories are easy to come by of farmers buying seeds that come in Certified Seed bags, planting them, and getting very low germination rates or just poor harvests. The conventional wisdom in a whole band of Eastern and Southern Africa stretching from Kenya to Zimbabwe has long attributed this to malicious counterfeiting: fraud, if we're to call it what it is.
But fraud implies malicious intent, and we really don't have very good evidence for malicious intent. At least not yet.
An alternative hypothesis is out there, though it doesn't get very much play: maybe the reason so much seed is of poor quality has to do more with incompetence than fraud.
The seed companies in the region are badly undercapitalized. They underinvest in research and development. They fall prey to all the same dysfunctions that all the other institutions in East Africa also fall prey too. What if the problem has more to do with the way these small seed companies safeguard the integrity of their germplasm and handle quality assurance than with any malicious faking in a back alley somewhere?
One problem is the slow rate of new hybrid variety introductions: in Uganda, you get perhaps 3 new maize varieties introduced per year, and some of the top selling varieties have been around for decades. Maintaining the genetic integrity of the parent lines and the foundation lines isn't straightforward in an undercapitalized industry. Genetic drift ain't just a river in Egypt, and it's not unthinkable that the genetic variability farmers report in some of the certified seed they plant stems from this: real companies selling seed that is no longer hybrid without realizing it.
As for non-germination, plenty of handling issues could account for this. Seed is finicky: it needs to be stored right and kept right to stay viable. In the West, seed is kept in cold storage along the distribution chain. How many cold storage facilities for seed have you seen in Africa?
I've spoken to thoughtful people who take these concerns seriously, to the point of doubting whether counterfeiting is a significant part of the problem at all. It's a minority view, but one that injects a needed measure of skepticism. In the end, the prevalence of the belief that malice is to blame for poor seed performance may turn out to tell us more about the absence of social capital and the generalized distrust in market exchange than about the prevalence of malicious counterfeiting.
What's shocking is that research hasn't put this question to bed. At least not yet. IFPRI has a study out in the field now in Uganda, for USAID, that should put this question to rest at least in that country. A World Bank study has just been commissioned that ought to be able to answer the question in Kenya, too.
These studies can't come too soon. I do hope they're conducted with a genuinely open mind to this possibility.
Because I sure think malicious counterfeiting is a major bar to agricultural productivity growth in East Africa. But that's not good enough. I want to know.

Gary Furness from Northern California spent a full day with us looking for some action. Gary has spent may years fish for big game around the world including many good trips here in kona! So we felt very lucky to have him.
And to make a long story short Gary is very good man who has incredible amount of good stories to share! Without getting to deep into it he is the main doctor for all combat sports in California. He is the doctor for all kick boxing, boxing, MMA, and UFC!
With so many question in store and questions to answer we made our way to the fishing grounds. It wasn't very long before we hooked up to our first spearfish! Having caught one before he asked if we could boat the fish to eat for dinner and that we did. Having dinner covered, he said any others we might get let's tag. Very soon after we take a strike from another spearfish but did not get hooked. We spent most of the day without any other bites.
As we came back into the same area we had hooked up previously we get hooked up to another spearfish!! This time it's hooked very good. As we got the fish along side the boat we told Gary to tag his fish! He has never done it before in his career of fishing so this was a great experience for him! And to top it off he hasn't caught two spearfish before in one day so we checked a few thing off his list! Great day with a great man!

Hi everyone
Just a little note to say that my latest ebook is available for free download from amazon for today only (20th Feb) – Forbidden Affair, which is the fourth standalone story in my 'Sensations' series.
Here's the opening:
I told myself that that what I really needed was a man's tongue slowly tracing its way over my breasts.
I was in the garden as the sun was setting, but it was almost as if I wasn't there. I mean, I had nothing against the garden. It was nice, it was pretty. I loved being able to walk out into it any time I wanted and look up at the deep blue sky.
But I couldn't focus on that.
I wanted more.
My tingling pussy told me that.
And the urges of my body speaking to me made me feel like my mind didn't have any choice in the matter.
Good God, I could feel the deep needs inside me.
Those strong and beautiful urges…
You know what I mean.
The need for delicious sex…
Jasmine's husband no longer has any time for her. He would sooner spend his time making money than give her the satisfaction her body requires. She doesn't feel she can confide in her 'friend' Clara – because she's spent her whole life treating Jasmine like dirt.
So Jasmine decides to betray the two of them with a session of hot sex with Clara's husband, to the delightful satisfaction of her body's needs…
Available for free for today only, on amazon US and amazon UK
I hope my sensual words arouse you with the most delicious sensations. x

Knocked Up – 2007
Written and Directed by Judd Apatow
Starring Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Charlene Yi, Jason Segel, Martin Starr, Iris and Maude Apatow, Kristin Wiig, Bill Hader, Alan Tudyk, Harold Ramis, Joanna Kerns, Craig Robinson, B.J. Novak
The first thing that one notices when re-watching Knocked Up for the first time is the sheer amount of talent that is on the screen. It's not a real graceful talent, but the cast has pretty much dominated the comedy scene since it was released. A prime example would be Wiig, who has less than 5 minutes of unforgettable screen time, and she is about 15 down the credits list.
At the time Heigl was a rising star on a deplorable (even by her own account) show, Grey's Anatomy and Rogen was fresh off another Apatow comic masterpiece, The 40 Year Old Virgin.
"Life doesn't care about your vision…" says Ben's (Rogen) father, Harris (Ramis) "Just roll with it, that's the beauty of it all."
In the midst of the talk about whether or not to "keep it," the above statement is tossed off in a seemingly errant fashion. That is the thing about Apatow's writing ability. He understands the significance of life is not in grand moments, rather, a collection of smaller, sweeter moments, including a series of videos of the child in each stage of its growth. This gives gravity to the situation that so many people want to ignore and make the characters much more appealing. These moments are perfectly accompanied with many moments of laughter and sadness.
"He's playing fetch with my kid," says Alison's (Heigl) sister, Debbie (Mann) to her, while watching Ben's pathetic attempt at playing with Debbie's kids.
The look on Debbie's face says even more than her voice. Leslie Mann's role, along with Rudd's Pete as her husband, give an essential ballast to Ben and Allison. They are the glimpse of a future. So crucial are the scenes between the older couple and their kids (played by Mann and Apatow's own children, Iris and Maude) it helps to make much of what is unsaid between the younger couple.
"What changed for you," says Debbie, in response to Pete's response to a seemingly flippant statement, "What went out the window. What plans. You do everything exactly the same."
The conversation veers from this point, and it goes into two directions, each of them real from the perspective of their gender. It's funny, apt and kind of scary. There are so many differences between men and women, it's amazing they ever get together in the first place. This leads into a segue where Debbie thinks Pete is cheating on her. Even though he's not, it doesn't help. Feeling like he has to lie to get away reveals a lot about what they are missing. He's so worried about losing free time, he is almost willfully ignorant of the fact that his partner loses more than he.
This dovetails directly into the films' big moment of crisis. It hits on so many levels, it cannot help but feel real.
"How did anyone ever give birth without a baby book?"
It could be a valid point, were it not for the fact that Ben's behavior is moving in the same direction as Pete. Allison sees the same thing and makes a decision that needs to be carries as much logic as it does emotion.
Ben's friends make a boorish version of a Greek Chorus. Baruchel, Seigel, Hill and Starr could have made a movie in and of themselves with Rogen, and it would have been funny as hell. The pink eye scene in and of itself would be funnier than any scene in most comedies.
Same can be said as Mann and Heigl. Rogen and Rudd, too. The key to Apatow is his ability to take many threads of what could have been good movies on their own and merge them into one super movie.
Ben: "Do you think they'll take us back?"
Pete: "Yes, but I don't know why."
It's a wonderful thing to see Apatow and his magnificent cast explore why. Heigl has never been better, and with her recent retirement, it's a safe bet it will stay this way. Rogen didn't have to stretch too far in his role…at least not until the end. Mann and Rudd nearly steal this movie. It is no surprise that the sequel was pushed in their direction. Even so, I can't help but feel there will be much more to it than just Debbie and Pete.

Samsung Earnings: What to Watch
Samsung Electronics Co. will undoubtedly release record third-quarter results Friday, likely reflecting the combination of solid smartphone sales and strong results from the company's chip division.
But overall earnings growth is likely to show clearer signs of slowing momentum. The operating profit will likely fall within the range of 9.9 trillion won ($9.3 billion) to 10.3 trillion won ($9.7 billion) for the three months ended Sept. 30. While such figures will represent growth of between 22.8% and 27.8% compared with a year earlier, it will be a slowdown from the 47.5% rise in the second quarter. Here are key issues to watch for on earnings day.

We have received quite a lot request from solo travellers from all over the world. Especially it raises a concern from female travellers with a question "Is it safe to travel alone in South East Asia?"
South East Asia – in many travellers' opinions, are the safest place to travel solo on earth. It's pretty easy for you to just wander around for months. No wonder many gap year students has come and have their eyes wide opened to another exotic cultures and there are so much to learn before they get back to your homeland. So the answer is YES, you can do a solo trip in SEA.
Everywhere you plan to travel solo, of course you will need to make a little homework about the place, probably buy a guidebook in advance, or contact a local agency to pre-book some services that you definitely not want to miss in the season. (I have heard of people who decide to go on hot air balloon while they were in Bagan, Myanmar but it was all fully booked since the others had on the list for months before).
So here are some advice for solo female travellers:
- Keep in touch with your family/ friends. Buying a local SIM card is cheap and easy, most of them has 3G or 4G service available now so you can use WhatsApp, Viber. Many places has free wifi too. Facebook, Instagram, Bolg or any other apps that you prefer. Make sure to tell your them that if they don't hear from you by every 4-5 days, they should contact some people locally to check on you.
- Don't be alone or try to walk alone at night time. If you don't like group tours, I don't blame you, I don't like to be herded around either. But you can join a group tour for a short length (for ex: 1 day trek, 2-3 day cruise). When you are back to the hotel at night time and want to go have a drink, stay at a well-lit place with a lot of people. Most of the time being alone, the chance of being attacked is higher.
- Bag snatching can happen anytime so keep your day bag close and secured.
- Don't show off your Iphone, Ipad or expensive jewelry. Cameras also need a secured string to attach with your wrist or neck.
- Sexual harassment is rare, but again, trust your guts instinct. Asian is not big at hugging or kissing on the cheeks so it's pretty easy compare to Western culture to keep a safe distance to the local males.
- Book tours & accommodation from recommended places by other travellers. TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet and the other travel forum can be great sources to find information.
Solo trip is the way to find your own world, or a perfect way to mingle with other travelers and locals. So don't be afraid, pack up and go!

OTAs are an issue for some of TIA's smaller accommodation members, in particular hotels and motels.
Our focus in this area is education – how can smaller operators use them to their best advantage. Positively, OTAs can effectively target a market segment that has traditionally been difficult for small accommodation providers to reach.
In October 2016, Expedia and Booking.com agreed to amend price and availability parity clauses in their contracts with New Zealand accommodation providers to resolve a Commerce Commission investigation.

I regularly feature Q&As with individuals who've recovered from eating disorders, binge eating, negative body image and any kind of disordered eating. If you'd like to share your story of recovery, I'd love to hear from you! You can email me at [email protected].
It's been a while since I've published a personal story about eating disorder recovery. So I'm so pleased to present Nina's story of recovery. Nina writes on the website helpforeatingdisorder.com.
After struggling with various eating disorders for close to 10 years, Nina is now recovered.
Below, she shares her story and discusses the importance of comprehensive treatment and finding what works for you.
Q: Please tell us a bit about yourself.
A: I am a 30-year-old woman who has been recovered from all eating disorders for several years after battling with anorexia, bulimia and binge eating for almost a decade.
Q: How and when did your eating disorder start? What do you think contributed to it?
A: My eating disorder first started in 2000 when I went on the Atkins diet. I saw a popular singer lose weight using this diet and so I researched everything about it, cut out all carbohydrates from my diet and managed to lose a considerable amount of weight. However I found it extremely difficult to maintain the weight loss and it also severely impacted my work, life, relationships and sanity.
I became completely obsessed with dieting and weight loss. I refused to go out as I was terrified of food and did not want anyone to find out about my secret obsession. My sole focus in life became controlling my food intake and losing weight.
I believe that the dieting mentality greatly contributed to the development of my eating disorder. My body was starved and deprived and over time I was no longer able to tune into my body's natural hunger or satiation signals.
Q: What motivated you to seek treatment?
A: After years of dieting and getting diminishing returns, I ended up depressed, alone, frustrated and suicidal. Every attempt to go on a new diet failed and I ended up losing a job that I loved, my fiancé as well as my close relationships. I was fighting a losing battle and knew that I could not have a life and the eating disorder at the same time.
I became open to treatment after I had entered 12-step program for other addictions and witnessed miraculous changes in my life. The ability to connect with others who had similar experiences and were on the path to recovery was transformative. I started to get a glimpse of eating disorder recovery. I knew that if I could recover from other life-threatening addictions, then I could possibly also recover from my eating disorder.
Q: Eating disorders are tremendously treatable but the key is to find the right treatment. How did you go about seeking services?
A: I was extremely determined to find help and treatment for my eating disorder. I viewed it as a life or death situation. I knew that I could not live while I had this illness. It impacted every area of my life and the only chance that I had to survive was by getting help and recovering.
I researched every possible eating disorder treatment. I went to a therapist to deal with my emotional and childhood issues, I sought recovery in a 12-step program to curb my overeating and to connect with others who were going through the same issues. I learned to meditate, to journal and to express my emotions.
Each one of the treatments that I sought brought me to the next level of recovery. I am a firm believer that recovery is a process. For me it is not something that happened overnight and I cannot pinpoint one particular treatment as being the sole source of my recovery. It was a long path, with many relapses and detours along the way.
Q: What led to your recovery?
A: Each one of the therapies and recovery paths contributed in their own way to my recovery. Each one taught me a new set of tools, greater insight into myself and shattered the denial of the eating disorder.
The more I shed light on the disorder and my behavior, the closer I got to recovery. The process was not an overnight one, but looking back, I started "recovery" long before I actually got to the other side and experienced freedom.
I was dedicated and determined to recover and was willing to do whatever was required. Nothing was too expensive or difficult. I traveled to New York from Australia in order to seek out treatment from a 12-step group. I found therapists who specialized in eating disorders and I looked to those who had recovered for inspiration.
These were all small deposits in my recovery bank. Each one helped to strengthen my recovery, shed light on the disorder and give me the courage and hope that is was possible to recover.
Q: What have been the toughest parts of seeking recovery and how did you get through them?
A: The toughest part of seeking recovery was finding what worked FOR ME. The whole process taught me to trust my body, my soul and learning to identify what was right for me – nobody else.
Too often I would try to do what worked for someone else even though it did not sit well with me, but I had so little faith and trust in myself that I was not able to let it go. I felt like a failure if I could not recover the way that someone else did. I felt like I was doing it "wrong" if I couldn't follow a sugar abstinence plan that someone else had followed.
But now I can see that the best way to learn is to make mistakes and still have the courage to keep going.
I began to realize that there was no "right" way to recover and just like the Buddhists say that there are 84.000 paths to enlightenment, so it is with recovery. There are a multitude of paths to recovery; the challenge is finding what works for you and having the courage to make mistakes, re-route and carry on.
Another struggle for me was isolation. The eating disorder was my big secret and it kept me isolated from the world. The more I isolated, the sicker I got and the more shame I carried out in the world. The biggest challenge I faced was breaking through this isolation, connecting with people, finding my own voice and having the courage to share with others about what was going on for me.
It continues to be the area of the greatest struggle for me, but also the one place where I get most reward. The more I open up to the world, the more freedom I feel.
Thanks so much, Nina, for sharing your story! Stay tuned tomorrow for part two of our interview.

Do you remember when life was simple and everything was cheap in our country? If you say no, you might think that it's just a dream to live in a place where you could buy anything you wanted for next to nothing! Well, there's no denying that life is getting more and more expensive – the latest in March is the prices of shallot and garlic rise steeply beyond our imagination. Shall we only blame on our government's incapability in managing the agriculture sector, especially related to food imports? I think that is not the solution to face the rising prices. Remember, we've been dealing with so many rising prices and costs form time to time: electricity, gas, food, and so on. Some people are able to survive, some others don't. And many agree that the best thing to do to cope with the rising cost of everything is just managing your money. Angeline Tan, a Certified Financial Planner with Great Eastern Life says that the successful people who can manage and save money are those who plan and have budgets. If you see yourself now crippled by the rising prices, you might have something wrong with your personal budgeting.
Here are the things to manage your money so as you can survive in times of inflation, taken from Maura Fogarty from Reader's Digest Asia.
The first thing to do is to determine your monthly income: salary, TKPKN, honorarium, rental income from your owned property, and anything that comes in a monthly basis. Then, figure out how much you spend. Keep all the bills and receipts you have collected and write down everything you have paid for in a month. Track every single expenditure, whether by cash or credit card, because you need to have an accurate data before keeping up a good budget. While doing this, you might be surprised with your "losing money" list: but keep on being honest in tracking so that you can solve your problem.
The next step is to categorize your list of income and expenses into three groups: fixed expenses, committed expenses and discretionary expenses. Fixed expenses are things that don't change from month to month, such as your housing, insurance, taxes and car payments. If you pay the expense annually, just divide the sum by 12 to get the monthly cost. Committed expenses are things you're committed to, such as utilities, mobile phone charges, food, transportation, credit card payments, children's school fees, and allowances for parents. Everything else falls under discretionary expenses: spending on clothing, entertainment, school books, children's extra-curricular activities, medical bills, gifts, vacations, etc.
If you have written everything down, you'll have a picture of where your money goes so far. It's now the time to review your list and starting out to make a budget.
What do you see in your list? Do you spend more than you earn? If the answer is yes, it's time to reduce your spending. Look at your discretionary expenses and figure out which ones that are easiest to cut back. Perhaps you can visit a mall once in every two weeks to avoid impulse shopping or some undoing there by taking a shopping list with you. Try eat out once in two weeks instead of weekly. Forget about keeping up with new gadget or new high-tech toys. Then look at your committed expenses. You must make a bit life style changing, or else you won't be able to save money and keep up with the rising prices. Reduce the bill for your phone and the internet, save electricity and water to reduce utility bills, and figure out cooking without much use of expensive food stuff such as garlic, onion, shallot, chili, etc. Try to take a bus or train instead of a taxi or private car. It's hard in the beginning, but keep remembering that you are doing these to make a good budget.
Now you're just starting out to make a budget. There is a 50-30-20 plan suggested by Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren. That means: your fixed and committed expenses should make up half of your after-tax income; 30 percent is discretionary spending and the final 20 percent goes to savings. (Some might say that the amount of saving depends on your situation: whether you are single, married, or married with other families living with you. But 20%, according to Elizabeth Warren, is the least you should save which can be taken occasionally for emergency reasons). Can you just do that? You won't know unless you try. Well, we might not be able to control the rising prices and the cost of living, but the above tips are just what you need to get the most of your money.

This article was last updated on 15 April 2020.
Applicable Provisions: – Section 455 of the Act read with Rule 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Companies (Miscellaneous) Rules, 2014

Alan Rogers Review
Camping Delle Rose is close to the French border, and a few miles inland from the Italian Riviera. This is a peaceful spot, set deep in the Maritime Alps, with many unspoilt medieval towns, picturesque churches and bustling markets. This is a friendly, family site where Lorena, Mauro and Lorenzo will guarantee a warm welcome. The site is located on a steeply terraced hillside, surrounded by eucalyptus and mimosa. The 80 touring pitches are 40-80 sq.m, and most have 3A electricity connections. A number of mobile homes and apartments are available for rent. Many improvements are being made to the site and those already completed are of a high standard.
On-site amenities here include swimming pools, as well as a bar, restaurant and pizzeria. Delle Rose is close to the medieval village of Dolceacqua and 6 km. from Pigna, an ancient spa town clinging to the valley sides and famous for its sulphurous waters. The town's main streets are arranged in concentric circles, criss-crossed with narrow alleys, well shaded lanes and steep paths.
One basic toilet block has been recently refurbished and provides some washbasins with hot water, pushbutton showers (no dividers) and baby changing mat. No facilities for disabled visitors. Swimming pools (15/6-15/9). New bar (15/6-15/9). Restaurant and pizzeria (July/Aug). Small play area. Animation for children and live music for adults (high season). Communal barbecues only.

After quite a long time I'm finally back (though don't know for how long). I really wanted to take part in the project # 0055 but couldn't find enough free time last week.
About the process. First I wanted to use the contact microphone, but I really wasn't happy with the recording so I simply recorded it via the integral Zoom H4 microphones. I like using Ableton Sampler in such cases when there is almost no "musical" or "harmonical" element in the basic material. I put the clock recording into Sampler and used just a small piece, with the loop playing back and forth. I also added a nice Toraverb by D16 (actually my friends :-). This was the basic soundscape which I later transformed in the Gleetchlab 3.0.
Finally I used the Gleetchlab transformed tracks + the original clock recording and created a final track in Ableton Live. I used some EQ to get the final effect.
