Animation style inspirations
These are some good examples of infographics that I really like. Each has their own way and style of delivering their messages.
This is more of a live presentation more than the actual animated infographics. I have posted this video because it is quite interesting how the person presented old school without a moving image. this kind of presentation is called Pecha Kucha which was invented by japanese engineers to presesnt to their coworkers in a short about of time.
I like this animation because the use of one colour makes the audience focus on what the main topic is about. The animation is very clear to understand because the sound and minimal key words work very well together. I have notice that all visuals are all balanced and layed out in the middle so audiences focuses on the subject.
This is another interesting animation where the animator focuses more on animating characters and story more. this has less text to it. this targets children 5 above because of the childish doodle styles, and a voice over of a little girl.
This next animation has an interesting style to it. The animator uses 3D in text and objects. This makes the animation look very appealing to the audience and make them amazed. I also liked the clever way of animating it.
In my animation, I hope to combine all these styles together

Background Conversation with Jesus and TMichael: Love and Loneliness (Part 1)
This is the third conversation with Masters Jesus and Buddha. I'm never sure how it's going to start. I sit. And wait. I think of things to say but they're not really the things to say only forced ideas that my mind impatiently pushes into the foreground to get it going. But then a question springs up and that's the beginning.
Conversation with Jesus and TMichael: Love and Loneliness (Part 1)
TM: Why are people in my culture so lonely and are people in other cultures lonely too?
Master Jesus: That's a good question. Relevant for many people, yet misunderstood in this age of plenty and hectic daily living. As I look at the times that have passed and note that throughout human history and human suffering, never has there been as much loneliness relative to so much material and social progress. How could this be?
TM: That was my question.
Master Jesus: Don't you have an idea why it is so?
TM: I don't really know. I observe people who are lonely and I feel sad for them. Sometimes I see people who are surrounded by friends and family and still they are lonely. They've somehow lost contact in a way that they don't know if they exist or not I suppose. I've had moments when I felt alone, but they seemed fleeting like a day or two and then I remembered something that connected me and I was back.
Master Jesus: Do you imagine hope has anything to do with the feeling of loneliness?
TM: I don't think so, but since you brought it up I imagine that you think it has something to do with it. Do you?
Master Jesus: No I don't. But I can tell you that people who are experiencing loneliness feel as if there is no hope for them. They are hopelessly isolated.
TM: If that's so, then hope does have something to do with it.
Master Jesus: Really? And how is that?
TM: Well, if there's an absence of hope, then hope has something to do with it then hope has something to do with it—the reason why they're feeling lonely.
Master Jesus: What if they're wrong? What if hope is just something that fills the gap in a perception of life filled with holes? What if hope merely replaces for a moment the underlying sense of despair that is the theme of a disjointed view of life?
TM: Yes, but that is the point of hope. It's sort of a wild card, a get out of jail free card. It bails you out when you don't know exactly what has you down, whether it's loneliness or depression or sadness. Hope is a handy antidote.
Master Jesus: That's an interesting way to view it. I see love fulfilling that promise. So is hope a bridge then to something else?
TM: I guess so in a way. It's getting out of someplace, an emotional place that feels yucky. I'd say it's more of an escape "out of" rather than a bridge. Although I think in order for it to work, obviously it has to be a bridge to something better than the thing that one is getting out of. But since you brought up love, how is that different from hope? Isn't it the promise of something better but in a more generalized way?
Master Jesus: Love is more than the promise of something better. It is all there is. Any other state is a creation of someone who isn't connected consciously with the only state there is. So that that doesn't confuse you, let me state it another way. When you are experiencing loneliness, fear, doubt, depression or sadness, you have created those states, but they're not real. They're illusions. Love is real and the only state.
TM: When you say they're not real and love is, what do you mean? What does 'real' mean?
Master Jesus: The limitations of language are real. 'Real' means the genuine thing, the enduring, absolute thing. It is the be all, end all. There can be no other. Something is unreal when it poses as something real. Sadness poses as reality, and so does loneliness. Those states pretend to be real to give you the experience of what it would be like if they were real.
TM: That's fine for you to say, but how can we know that is true? When people are lonely or sad they are those things. That is a real experience.
Master Jesus: I see how you trap yourself in believing that those states are as real as love. Let's say that only one thing can be real. Let's also say that everything other than that thing is unreal. The only reason you would believe that the unreal things are real is that you believe the real thing is unreal.
TM: Now you're messing with my head. I don't follow you. I know love is real. When I experience love I know it and it's real. Then there can be a moment when I experience loneliness and it's different than love and for that moment it is real and love isn't activated or present, at that moment, so the other thing is and it's real. Why can't they all be real?
Master Jesus: So, by your reasoning all things are real and none are unreal?
TM: Yes, I guess that's true.
Master Jesus: But only one of them can be real at one time, is that it?
TM: For the most part, yes. But I think there are times when I experience more than one state at a time, or there's some overlap. Often I can sense the transition from one state to another.
Master Jesus: What causes the shift then, from one to another?
TM: I don't know, it just shifts. Thoughts trigger the shift I suppose.
Master Jesus: And you create the thoughts, is that correct?
TM: Yes.
Master Jesus: And you create the thoughts with the intent to shift from one state to another, or is it involuntary?
TM: Well, mostly I think if you're depressed or lonely then you're motivated to shift out and so it's a conscious act. If you're in a happy or joyous state and you start to slip into another state it seems more of an unconscious act. I mean people basically want to be happy and so they strive to stay that way. If they're sad they try to get to the happy state.
Master Jesus: I noticed you used happy and joy, not love. Why is that?
TM: I remember what you've said, that happy and joy are states of love.
Master Jesus: So does that make love a meta-state?
TM: Could be I guess.
Master Jesus: If love is a meta-state and happiness and joy are states that reflect love, then what meta-state does loneliness and despair reflect? Or do you consider them to be meta-states?
TM: I consider them to be undesirable states. But I don't know the answer, maybe they reflect evil.
Master Jesus: Now we're getting somewhere. So, you believe then that love and evil are the meta-states and from those the others come into momentary reflection?
TM: I wasn't aware that I thought that, but maybe I do or maybe I just don't know and you're putting words into my mouth. I have never thought that deeply about it. I guess I'm like most people I just live my life from one state to the next trying to stay a little longer in the good ones and avoiding the undesirable ones.
Master Jesus: Well, that's an honest answer and one that represents the majority, if not all, the human race. But surely you have thought deeply about these things, as have others. Is it that you don't trust the conclusions you've reached?
TM: I think it's more like I've never really concluded anything. I resort to the old story of love and evil, good and bad, happy and sad, because that's easier than risking a new story that may not be true. And at least the old one is accepted by nearly everyone.
Master Jesus: It's time to risk a new story. I think you already have, but you're not sure whether or not you want to tell it. What if you're wrong, right? Then you've duped yourself and everyone else who believed you. I've told it and others have told it. It gets changed a little here and there so that it looks more like the old story to make it more comfortable for everyone. So, I'll tell it again.
TM: Please do. I'm willing to listen. Is this going to answer my original question about loneliness?
Master Jesus: Yes, and more. Love is all there is in this universe. It is the meta-state. Every other state of emotion you experience is either a reflection of love, or it is a state you have individually and collectively created in order to experience that which isn't love. Evil is the creation of humanity and is unreal. It appears real because you believe it is as part of your collective agreement to do so.
You experience life one moment at a time on Earth. You experience life on more than the Earth dimension. The meta-state of love is on all dimensions. You create within the realm of Earth during your incarnation here. Your creation does not extend beyond this dimension. You can choose to create with love or you can choose to create with that which is not love. At the point when your creation is purely from love then your boundary of creation will expand. That is the moment we are all waiting and working for.
The challenge of humanity is to synthesize all that is in your human nature with all that is in your spiritual nature. Love is in both and will temper the fusion. Give up your addiction to your own creation when it isn't in alignment with love.

Opinion: What we've lost during Trump's first year
Rep. Karen Bass (Calif.) | 1/31/2018, 10:18 a.m.
The year leading up to his inauguration in 2017, as the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump espoused senseless, baseless and ultimately empty assertions about the state of Black Americans and our communities.
"What the hell do you have to lose?" he screamed in front of a predominantly White crowd in a small, predominantly White suburb of Lansing, Michigan.
After Trump was inaugurated, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) found it prudent to answer his question. In March, the CBC Executive Committee, led by our Chairman Cedric L. Richmond (D-La.), presented Trump with a 130-page policy document entitled, "We Have A Lot To Lose: Solutions to Advance Black Families in the 21st Century."
The document, which was compiled by the entire 49-member Caucus, outlined policy solutions down to the bill text for issues facing our communities. Voting rights, criminal justice reform, economic justice, education, health care, immigration – these were just some of the topics we presented to continue our progress.
Unfortunately, these are the issues that Trump and his administration have chosen to ignore. The President, who has not commented on the document since we presented it to him, obviously has had other ideas, almost as if he wanted to answer his own question in his first year, to show us what we can lose.
The truth is that in this first year, we've lost a lot.
Almost immediately after being elected, Trump established the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity and appointed a known vote suppressor to lead it. The commission was designed to intimidate voters and Trump—because of political and legal pressure—recently decided to dissolve it into the Department of Homeland Security.
Throughout the past year, Trump has stacked the federal courts with judges with nothing short of scandalous records when it comes to voting rights. Among his nominee group was Thomas Farr, who helped lawmakers draft and defend a 2013 law that the Fourth Circuit Court of North Carolina ruled targeted African American voters "with almost surgical precision."
On the criminal justice front, Trump has used the Department of Justice to embrace mass incarceration and shy away from transparent policing. One example of this is an FBI report published last August entitled, "Black Identity Extremists Likely Motivated to Target Law Enforcement Officers." One problem with the report is that the term "Black Identity Extremists" is an invented group that does not exist. There are no Black people organized to kill law enforcement officers. When I asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray about the origins of this report, none of them could tell me what the report was even based on or how the term was created.
Economically, Trump has gone after our consumer protections. Congress is working to repeal Dodd-Frank, a landmark piece of legislation designed to protect consumers from the wreck of the 2009 recession. Trump's favoring of big banks will ultimately leave consumers in the same spot they were during the recession, or worse. The education of our children is also under attack. In 2014, for the first time ever, the majority of public school students in the United States were non-White. Secretary DeVos has been less than helpful to these institutions, ignoring grave disparities in how students of color are disciplined compared to White students, and supporting a budget that would further attack services that public schools provide.

The exciting news right now is that Norway are Banning Fur Farming!
Norway has 300 fur farms, which breed and kill approximately 700,000 minks and 110,000 foxes every year, so this is a significant progress for the rights of animals not to be exploited abused and killed simply for fashion or to produce garments which are no longer necessary in modern times when there are so many synthetic cruelty free alternatives.
We need also to turn our attention to the plight of sheep, who for many people seem less obvious victims of abuse concerning their exploitation for wool, yet another product that is not necessary and like fur involves horrific abuse
Please take action and help prevent animal cruelty in the wool industry as sheep are abused and killed for their wool.
Please help to save defencess sheep from this shocking brutality by sending a message to Urge Express and Forever 21 to drop wool in favour of animal-friendly materials.
Learn More – other action to take further down.
Warning the video is extremely disturbing.
PETA's SEVENTH Wool Exposé: Sheep Still Hit, Kicked, Cut, Thrown
"A disturbing new PETA video exposé of the Australian wool industry—the world's top wool exporter—reveals that extreme cruelty to sheep continues unabated. Exposés in dozens of shearing sheds on three continents show workers punch, kick, cut up, stomp on, mutilate, and throw sheep down chutes like garbage bags.
This latest exposé shows more of the same—sheep shearers in Australia violently punched these gentle animals in the face and beat and jabbed them in the head with sharp metal shears. The attacks often left the petrified sheep bleeding from the eyes, nose, and mouth.
After PETA exposed rampant extreme cruelty to sheep across Australia in 2014, the video evidence resulted in landmark cruelty convictions against shearers, and the wool industry assured the public that such abuse would no longer be tolerated. But as this exposé shows, absolutely nothing has changed for sheep, and the cruelty is as severe as ever."

Italian Wool Exposed: Sheep Kicked, Cut, and Killed
You can also help sheep by refusing to buy wool.
Leave wool and other clothing derived from animals such as mohair and fur out of your wardrobe. There are humane modern fabrics such as cotton, rayon, acrylic, hemp and nylon. Modern synthetic fibres are more versatile, warmer, easy to care for and most importantly humane.
I have a fondness for timid gentle sheep whom I often see grazing in the countryside close to where I live, out in all weathers often suffering injuries, neglected, open to the elements, predators and all manner of hazards. Sheep suffer like all farm animals for products we do not need, namely meat and wool.
Please help sheep by changing to a vegan lifestyle and keep wool out of your wardrobe and meat off your plate.

The Wool Industry
"Sheep are gentle individuals who, like all animals, feel pain, fear, and loneliness. But because there's a market for their fleece and skins, they're treated as nothing more than wool-producing machines.
If they were left alone and not genetically manipulated, sheep would grow just enough wool to protect themselves from temperature extremes. The fleece provides them with effective insulation against both cold and heat."
Though the next article was written back in 2014 the brutality continues, nothing has changed for sheep exploited by the wool industry.
A wool jumper is just as cruel as a mink coat
A Peta film shows workers who beat, kick, stamp on, throw, mutilate and even kill sheep as they shear them
"The investigators saw shearers violently punch struggling sheep, and beat and jab them in the face with sharp shears, leaving the gentle animals bleeding from their eyes, nose and mouth. One shearer repeatedly twisted and bent a sheep's neck, finally breaking it."
"Most shearers are paid by volume, not by the hour, which means that they have an incentive to work as quickly as they can, with little regard for the sheep's welfare. Investigators recorded shearers who processed up to 27 sheep per hour and up to 35 lambs. Such fast and often violent work can lead to severe cuts on sheep's abdomens, hindquarters and limbs – even on sheep's penises. Large swaths of skin were also cut or ripped off the bodies of many sheep by the shearers.
"…injured sheep were shot dead in full view of their companions, and one was even butchered and left in full view of other terrified sheep."

What is Rend?
In a series of whats, What is Rend is more than likely your first what. Breaking the game to its most basic you will Survive, Conquer, and Ascend. I will go into greater detail, leave a comment if you would like to see more! Speaking of comments, leave on for a chance to be called out in the next video, winners must have commented and subscribed! As we gain more Subs, we will be giving out real swag.
First things first – Get Social!
Rend is a faction based PvE and then PvP, your dependent on your faction players to cooperate and help build the best environment possible. As soon as you get in to the server, reach out to your faction people. Let them know you exist and that your down to team up or hunt or gather supplies of some sort. If your fresh to the server, you will need to gather your own set of gear and tools before you can really be useful.
Get some Clothes!
Find some green round bushes, hold down your left mouse button till that bush is gone, rinse and repeat till you have what you will think to be too much, make some of the yarn ball looking materials in your crafting section, you press C to get to the crafting section. With some Fiber Twine you can start making your clothes to keep you safe from attacks.
Fiber Twine requires 4 Raw Fibers
Roughweave Sandals – 12 Raw Fibers / 6 Fiber Twine
Roughweave Trousers – 20 Raw Fibers / 2 Fiber Twine
Roughweave Shirt – 20 Raw Fibers / 3 Fiber Twine
x = Raw Fibers / 4x = Fiber Twine
12RF + 6(4RF) = RoughSandals and so on taking us to (12+20+20)+((6+2+3)4) =52+44=96 Raw Fibers to make your clothes
Get to picking!
Get some Tools!
For your harvesting equipment, you will need to punch some trees and then use the appropriate tools to get the right materials, and yes, you will need more Fiber Twine!
Spirit Hatchet – 3 Rough Stick / 1 Fiber Twine
Spirit Mallet – 1 Rough Log / 1 Fiber Twine / 1 Sticky Sap
Spirit Pick – 1 Rough Log / 1 Fiber Twine / 1 Flint
Spirit Sickle – 3 Roughwood Stick / 1 Fiber Twine / 1 Flint
Important to notice – depending on what you want to harvest, you will need to use different clicks, left click will wing the tool downward, the right click will swing side to side. For example the axe will harvest more rough sticks when using the up and down left click and when using the right click for side to side you will harvest more logs.
Get some Food!
You will want to harvest some Melons, but you can also work on your Survival with a camp fire by cooking up a rack of ribs, if you don't cook them, you will poison your self! Make a Camp Fire and a few Simple Bows, they don't last long, so make more than two!
Simple Bow – 6 Roughwood Stick / 1 Fiber Twine
Rough Arrow x3 – 3 Roughwood Stick
Rough Hide Waterskin – 12 Thin Leather Scraps / 2 Fiber Twine
Campfire – 4 Roughwood Log / 4 Crumblestone / 1 Flint
You will want a water skin and to learn to live with hunting for your meat as it will fill you up much faster than eating the Watermorsals or you may recognize them as watermelons. You can harvest a large amount of watermorsals with the Spirit Sickle, and rapidly press the hot bar key that they end up on, but that doesn't help you level up as much as hunting will. If possible focus on the hunting! If possible, find some salt and use some Poorly Cooked Meat, it will help you more than normal food, but will dry you out, so make sure to have a waterskin ready! Important to know, even if there are tons of equipment around, you will need to make everything at east once to unlock the craftable item that is after it in its chain.
Circle back to helping the faction
This may not seem intuitive for most gamers, but this game is all about community, you will need to help your faction to build up as best as possible so that you can beat out the other factions and Ascend! You will be upgrading the facilities and the walls and structures all awhile building your own smaller structures with your friends or some folks that you chatted with earlier. You will want to make a Twinebound Pouch to add some carry weight +20 to help you carry all these valuable resources back!
Twinebound Pouch – 20 Thin Leather Scraps / 15 Fiber Twine
This is just the beginning
There are tons of different things to build and discover in Rend, but you will need your fellow adventurers to get through it! This is different from Ark in a few ways but the largest difference is that you are dependent of your faction and they are depending on you, but you can get pets to help you hunt as you level up taming. You will have access to spells and much more! A friendly tip, don't go into the caves around the starting area till your able to defend your self and hold a torch, its a trap and the critters in there will poison you. If you Die, you will just need to look for a shining beacon coming from your dead body, you won't see it from every where but it helps!
Good luck adventurer! Have fun and meet some new friends!

This bright berry tea brews up a jewel-toned shade of red thanks to hibiscus – popular worldwide for its tart, cranberry-like flavor. The taste of this herbal blend reminds us of a hike in the mountains of Colorado, where we live. We love it iced in the summer, or while skiing, hot with honey.
1% of sales of boxes of Alpine Berry sachets are donated to support a scholarship for the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) — an organization that had a strong impact on our CEO/Founder Richard Rosenfeld's life, as Richard served as a NOLS instructor from 1997 – 2000.

I was looking for TLAAB Orchard Berry and decided to try Alpine Berry tea which is similar in flavor just slightly more intense but very relaxing. I've been having a cup a day❤
One of my Favs!!
Tropical Green has always been my favorite but this one comes close! The whole family enjoys this one!
Alpine Berry is my favorite!
On our way to the North Carolina mountains, my husband and I stopped off at a bustling coffee shop in a small, but picture-perfect small town. I'm more of a coffee drinker, but felt inclined to try some tea. The barista suggested Alpine Berry, and I've been hooked! Try it!
Absolutely splendid! This tea helped me appreciate tea
I was never a big fan of tea. I always thought that too many other ingredients needed to be added to the tea in order for it to be enjoyed. That was until I discovered Alpine Berry. It is filled with amazing flavors and we find it absolutely delightful. My toddler even enjoys drinking it.
This might be the nicest herbal tea I have ever tasted. Delicious hot or cold, and the bags are a generous quantity. I am sharing with my friends!
Favorite Tea
Alpine Berry is one of my two favorite teas. It is lovely hot or cold. I plan to always have this tea in my cabinet!
Totally wonderful tea
This tea is like giving yourself the best reward possible! Wonderful tea, a "must have" in my cupboard at all times!
Alpine aberry
Alpine berry is great hot, warm or cold. So refreshing
Love this tea!!
The best most refreshing tea I've ever made! It's good hot or cold
Alpine Berry Berry Good
Love this!
Alpine berry. Wonderful tea
Fantastic flavor. Deepens with brewing. Just what I was looking for in an herbal product.
Excellent choice
I love the aroma as soon as I open the bag. I love the color of the tea and the taste is amazing. I ordered two boxes on my first order. It is great anytime day or evening.
Alpine Berry
Very tasty. However, needs to be steeped only in chlorine-free water, otherwise instead of being red it's black.
Love it!
I just got this tea, and on Mother's Day and my mom and I had some. Not only did I enjoy this tea, but so did she (a coffee addict :) ). Usually, she needs sweetener and milk if she's gonna drink tea (I usually drink all teas plain), but when I asked her, she said it was perfect the way it is. Coming from her, that is a TRUE compliment. Definitely worth getting. Even coffee drinkers will enjoy this tea.
My new favorite!
This tea is berry special. Love it! I brew it late in the afternoon, so I can still get some shut eye later on. I really do enjoy a good and flavorful evening cuppa, so this fits the bill when I cannot tolerate caffeine.
One of my favorites
I love this tea. It's a perfect blend and makes a great after dinner tea.
alpine berry
Thank you so much for the best herbal fruit tea I have ever had!! I enjoy it chilled every day. This is a truly remarkable tisane and I really appreciate that you offer some herbal teas without chamomile, which can be an overpowering flavor in some of the more delicate blends. :)
I was offered an Alpine berry tea while eating out in Golden, British Columbia. I looked up your site and signed up as a customer right away. The tea tasted fruity and smooth, and was the most beautiful color. I am ordering some right away!! WC
Alpine berry tasting tea. My fave.
This tea has loads of flavours. Steeped a little longer brings out more berry taste. I call it my very berry tea.
My favourite tea!
This is by far my favourite tea! Very refreshing without being too sweet! I love it!
Merry Berry- Alpine Berry
Merry berry- Just loved it.
Best Breakfast Tea to rejuvenate senses in morning.
Excellent (and useful)
This tea has definitely earned its place among my favorites. First, the flavor is delicious - the berries really shine, and it's sweet without being cloying, tart without being sour. Also, ladies (and non-binary friends), this tea contains blackberry leaves and berries, which are great for relieving menstrual cramps (try chamomile as well). All in all, a lovely brew!
Love Love Love
I love the flavor of this tea. Its organic which I loved because I can't have caffeine. I will continue to purchase.
As good as ever.
Husbands new favorite.
Love Love Love
Fell in love with the first sip. I will purchase a box of 100 for sure after i finish my African Sunset tea that I also love so much!!!!
Amazing taste
After enjoying a cup of this tea in Estes Park, CO over the Thanksgiving weekend, it was game on to Google search out this particular tea flavor. I was SO ecstatic to find it after a minimal search! My hubby and I are not really tea drinkers, but we both enjoyed it so much that I just had to order it. Alpine Berry is, hands down, one of the best tea flavors I've ever enjoyed. So thankful I can order it now to appreciate at home when I want a soothing cup of berry herbal flavor!
delicious hot or iced
My absolute favourite fruity tea. It's delicious hot or iced, although my preference is iced on a hot summer day. This is a nice healthy alternative when I'm craving sugary fruit drinks!
Satisfies my cravings for sweets
I love the fruity flavors in this tea!! It's a sweet tooth craving stopper for me!! I just placed an order today and can't wait till it gets here!!! Thank you Two Leaves for making amazing teas!!!!
I can't stop drinking this
I first tried this tea at a spa, I'm known to be a coffee drink by heart! But after having your tea this one the Alpine Berry and the pomi-berry, I just can't stop drinking it! I love it and tell everyone how good it really is! I really enjoy sitting with a cup of your tea its truly relaxing. Thank You.
Five stars
This tea is phenomenal!
This tea is SO good.
I love this flavor it is light and so pleasant...its my favorite tea.
Delicious on a Snowy Day
This was the first Two Leaves and a Bud tea I tried. Absolutely delicious on a snowy Colorado day! Definitely the best tea (and tea bag) I've ever had. I've been trying several different flavors over the past couple weeks and love them all.
A Great Find
I had a cup of this at a charming cafe. What a great find! I generally love black teas best; but this herb tea was almost as rich as the best of the black teas.
This is one of the tastiest teas I've ever had. I really enjoy citrusy and fruity teas and I just cannot talk enough about this alpine berry. It is, without a doubt, my favorite tea. Just delicious at any point in the day.
very very good
First Try
I tried your tea for the 1st time on a cold snowy Michigan evening
I received your tea as a gift and I have to say it is absolutely delicious! I Can't wait to try the other flavors!
Flavors are Amazing
I had your wonderful teas for the first time this week while staying at the Limelight lodge in Aspen. The Alpine Berry and African Sunset were 2 of my favorites. I will be looking for a store near me that sells your top-quality product. The flavors are amazing!!
A winner!
Had this tea, Alpine Berry, at a small restaurant in Jasper, Ga. 61 Main. Outstanding flavor and color, a clear winner for either relaxing or with a lunch meal.
I can't get enough!
This is my new favorite tea! :D Normally, I reach for a fresh cup of green tea or a morning tea, yet I find myself longing for the first time- a cup of tea with fruit. It's the only fruit tea I've ever liked!
Buying in Bulk
Had this tea for the first time at a quaint little cafe in knoxville, tennessee. Absolutely love it. I ordered 100. Finally something I can drink in the winter and it tastes so good and it's not bad for me.
No sweetener needed
The deep hue of this tea is a hint of the punch of flavor it packs. I first tried it in a spa out of curiosity, but feel in love with with its intensity of citrus, blackberry tones and sweetness - without the use of sugar or honey.
Out of Stock Woes
Love the tea, but am getting frustrated with the length of time that Alpine Berry has been out of stock. When can we expect it to be restocked?
Buy Before it's Gone Again
One of our favorites .. very frustrated that it's out of stock so often!
Stock up!
This is one of my favorites! I first tasted on an out of town trip about 3-4 years ago and haven't stopped drinking it. I make large orders so that I don't run out.
Healthy Berry Tea
I love this healthy, berry tea, that doesn't contain anything I'm allergic to. :)
Great discovery
This is the tea that turned me on to Two Leaves. I savored this after ordering it in a restaurant. Now it's my fave fruit tea.
Great Hot or Cold
I really loved the flavor of Alpine Berry. It was full of flavor and tasted great hot or cold.
Just right.
Delightful with a slight tang. You taste just the sweetest essence of blackberry. The balance of flavors is just right for this tea. Warm, sweet, and enticing. Its like drinking a cuddle! : 7 )
Try It
This is the best tea you will find, if your not a tea drinker try it and you will be soon. Alpine Berry: lv lv lv it.

We do a daily tech-show (video) and for the past 4 years, we've been posting all videos on YouTube and embedding them on our site ( http://www.livingsmarttv.dk ) but this week, we've been looking into the advantages of self hosting.

Question: have you posted other articles on the subject? If so, can you please tell me where to learn more?

Written By: Michael Wallach and Barry Levinson
Directed By: Barry Levinson
Starring: Will Rogers, Kristen Connolly, Kether Donohue, Frank Dealer and Stephen Kunken
Chaos breaks out in a small Maryland town after an ecological disaster occurs.
The Bay is quite a different pace from the other gory movies I typically review. This film is more of an attack on many people's worst fear, a severe bacterial outbreak. What makes this film scary is that it is a horror that very well could happen to us. It is that fact that makes it more chilling than a movie with an unstoppable killer.
The Bay is shot in a different manner than other film. You view the film through the prospective of police dash cameras and video that was filmed by others. I do not want to go into it too far because I do not want to give too much away. I am not typically a fan of this style of filming, but The Bay really was creatively done.
This film was definitely disturbing and I would compare it to a modern day Jaws. Clearly there isn't a rogue man-eating shark on the prowl, but in my opinion, this is much worse. Having lived near the Chesapeake Bay, it freaked me out a lot more. If I was still living there, not to sound like a big wuss, but I don't think I would want to just hop in the water for a while. That's what makes a horror film great though, making people think and making them want to take that extra second before they just jump right into something. When people begin to get infected, the sores that form on them are rather grotesque. I by no means have a weak stomach, but there were a couple of scenes that made me turn my head. I would not recommend enjoying your lunch or snack while watching this one.
The effects in The Bay were quite believable. There were a few parts that I said to myself, "that is so a dummy", but I admire that in a film. Not every effect was an expensive CGI masterpiece and for that I give this film more acknowledgement.
I am not typically a fan of films like this, but The Bay really got me thinking and actually made me turn my head away a couple of times. It was really a roller coaster ride. For that I did really enjoy it.
I feel like The Bay was low balled by the critics with an average rating of 5.5. I give it an 8 out of 10.

Lizzie Borden Paired with World Premiere of The Raven
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville Ballet will present a haunting double feature of original works just in time for Halloween: the long-awaited return of Lizzie Borden based on the infamous double murder and the world premiere of The Raven inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem Oct. 26-28 at TPAC's Polk Theater.
Nashville Ballet Artistic Director & CEO Paul Vasterling's Lizzie Borden examines the real double murder case of 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts. Lizzie Borden was famously accused, tried and acquitted for the brutal ax murders of her father and stepmother in a case that remains one of the most controversial and sensationalized in American history.
"Because Lizzie Borden was acquitted and no one was ever charged for the murders, endless speculation still surrounds the case that makes it as fascinating as ever," Vasterling said. "I have my own theories about what may have happened in the Borden household on the day of the murders, and leading up to it. This ballet explores the dark backstory and delves into the mind of Lizzie Borden—taking place in her memories—to show that there may be more to the story than meets the eye."
Lizzie Borden has remained a fixture in American culture for more than a century as the subject of popular books, movies, television shows and even a well-known children's rhyme ("Lizzie Borden took an ax..."). Nashville Ballet's version was originally presented in 2006, and this time around will feature a newly commissioned score by English composer Philip Feeney along with updates to the choreography. Unique to this version, Vasterling explores the phenomenon of "shadow people," ghostlike figures often attributed to the presence of the supernatural, who influence Lizzie Borden throughout the ballet.
Lizzie Borden will be complemented by the world premiere of Nashville Ballet company dancer Christopher Stuart's The Raven. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, the ballet follows a mysterious raven that ultimately drives a heartbroken lover into madness. The new work will feature a classical score by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt.
Lizzie Borden with The Raven is presented by STF Events & Catering and Lightning 100. Tickets start at $35 and can be purchased in person at the TPAC box office in downtown Nashville, by phone at 615-782-4040 or at www.NashvilleBallet.com. A complete performance schedule and more information can be found at www.NashvilleBallet.com/Lizzie-Borden. Viewer discretion is advised; this production contains mature content.

The signal and coverage were great and the price was reasonable but the fact that Project Fi locks you into using a Google device is why I eventually left. I currently have an Essential phone which would only require a software update to be fully compatible with Fi since it supports both GSM & CDMA carriers like Google phones. But Google uses Fi to sell its old phones. Last Spring they were selling the remaining stock of Nexus devices to Fi customers. Now they are clearing out the first generation Pixels. As long as Google restricts Fi to its own phones I would never consider switching back.jhs39https://email@example.com

A moment of confession: I harbor some uncertainties about my participation in social media. These uncertainties stem from something deeper than social media itself, rooted in questions of relationship, authenticity, marketing and self-promotion, what it means to earn money as a content creator, and more.
At heart, this article is my own exploration into some of the questions that swirl in the back of my brain, in an attempt to clarify the answers and to solicit feedback from you, the reader, in hopes of gaining a wider perspective.
Social media could be defined as the collection of internet based tools that allow us to connect and interact socially with one another. Like any tool, it's essence is that of utility. That being said, as far as human socialization goes, the healthiest relationships exist at the antipodes of utility. Utility is always a means to some other end, and treating people in the manner of a means to an end only leads to destructive relationships.
So what is social media actually for, and is there a purpose to gaining many followers? Depending how one approaches it, a social network may be either for socializing, or for networking, or some combination of the two. It's this combination that seems to turn things fuzzy for me. Also, money – another element of utility in our world.
As I move increasingly into the world of content creation, my ability to draw an income from my efforts ties directly to the size of my network and the number of those that not only follow me, but that consume what I produce. To put it bluntly: Content creators depend on content consumers.
Writing has always been a passion, and something I mainly pursued in the past without too many thoughts of remuneration. While SteemIt appears to offer some glimmer of hope in getting paid for my writing, it has also dawned on me that I have so far woefully neglected any real effort at building an audience… [This article originally appeared on Steemit.com.

There were two new Nature Valley chewy bars in the grocery store last week: Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate and Peanut as well as Almond and Dark Chocolate. The last breakfast snack (belVita Breakfast biscuits) I choose lacked protein, these Nature Valley bars with 10 grams of protein might redeem me.
The peanut butter dark chocolate naturally flavored bar was eaten quickly in the car, while drinking a latte. It was confusing: lots of peanut butter flavor, slightly sweet, very chewy with a lingering aftertaste. The fullness of the product seemed to be missing. My expectations were that the bar would be extremely nutty, very sweet and crunchy as well as chewy. After all, the bars appeared to be packed with nuts.
When I read the ingredient statement and nutritional panel, I realized the uniqueness of this Nature Valley bar. Protein was not obtained exclusively from nuts: the bars both contained soy protein isolate and whey protein concentrate for protein fortification. Chicory root extract is the first sweetening ingredient listed on the ingredient panel. I found out that my lab has a few jugs of chicory root extract in stock. We use it in natural projects as a sweetener. Filtered chicory root extract looks like corn syrup, but doesn't taste as sweet. Besides sweetening properties, chicory roots contain high levels of inulin, a polysaccharide, which is a fiber source and probiotic. I already feel healthier. Chicory root extract has a slight bitter aftertaste, which verifies that it must be good for you.
The peanut, almond and dark chocolate bar was a great afternoon snack. There is a slightly coconut taste in this bar that I enjoy. I appreciate the protein chewy bars from Nature valley and hope that future line extensions contain dried fruits as well as nuts. I'd feel much healthier eating a bar with nuts and fruits, and not nuts and chocolate. Fruit might improve the fullness of the bar that seems to be lacking.

Posted by Thomas Mon, 02 Apr 2007 23:56:38 +0000
Pwned! Yes, Marc, I came up with the idea quite some time ago that I should pull this April Fool's joke, and I came very close to just posting an entry saying that I was going to do it, instead of actually doing it (Unfinished Post #355). But, I thought, what the hey, maybe I'll fish around for some gullible people. Well, looks like it worked! Yay!
So, in other real news besides the haircut and my fake engagement (still single ladies), my parents were here for a week between the 21st and the 28th. About the only thing that we did was go to see the CNN Center and go on the tour. International TV studios are cool. :) We walked around Centennial Park. I'll probably post the one pic I took eventually.
In the world of movies, I've seen 300, Wild Hogs, North By Northwest, 21 Grams, Reign Over Me, and last night, Blades of Glory. 300 was good, but not as good as all the hype said. Wild Hogs was much better than expected. North By Northwest was eh. 21 Grams was exactly like Crash and that other movie that I went to see after Children of Men that I liked so much better but can't remember the name of right now. I guess since I've seen more than two of those type of films, that they aren't really that enjoyable now. I could see why nobody else like that third movie if they'd already seen the other two. To quote Drewby, "I liked it better the first time when it was called Fight Club". Reign Over Me was good. And Blades of Glory… um, I think it could have been better. Maybe it was because I watched it in a practically empty theater. Maybe more people laughing would have helped it.
On Wednesday (the 28th), I finally received the final packages for my new file server. I got it put together and up and running that night. I had a total of 5 400 GB drives, but one of them was currently in use and completely full, I needed to make a backup before I pulled it out of its current home and put it into its permanent home. I dusted off the ol' fibre channel and used it. Now I realize how abysmally slow it is (read/writes in the 5 MB/s range while transferring 400GB takes a while). I managed to get my data off, physically transfer the drive, and get the new array up and running. I started to transfer everything back, which took an equally excrutiatingly long time. We were having a lan party at work, so I wanted it to be ready in time enough to show it off. I didn't get everything transfered that I would have liked, but enough that I packed it up and took it to the lan. I don't think anybody got any content off it, so that was pretty disappointing. When a couple of guys tried, it kept crashing explorer. I don't know if it was just Solaris running Samba, or if it was just my Samba config. As I didn't really tweak much in the Samba config, I would lean towards a misconfiguration issue and incompatibility playing nicely with XP. If I had a copy of XP, I would test for sure. I might try a VM copy, if I can get it to work… After all that was done, I've spent the rest of the weekend playing with it more. I'd make some poor choices of naming things, so there were those mistakes to correct. Then I transfered all of my home directory over to it. I had pretty much run out of space there as well. Once that was done, I transfered argento over to ldap/kerberos/autofs and cut argento over. It's been pretty smooth sailing so far, I must say, working off of nfs. I'm starting to jones for a gig switch and a telco rack. I setup snapshotting as well on it all, which was one of the primary motivating factors of going with a Solaris/ZFS solution. And, I added some new entries to ldap to get some further automount entries besides home. Automounting stuff from LDAP is awesome. While playing with the array, I had been noticing a slightly ominous, yet faint clicking sound emanating from one of the drives. I installed SMART tools, and finally got the syntax right only to see this on one of the drives: HARDWARE IMPENDING FAILURE GENERAL HARD DRIVE FAILURE [asc=5d, ascq=10]. Doh! Looks like I'll have to RMA one all too quickly. At least I still have the nice box and packaging Seagate sent the last drive in, so it shouldn't be hard at all to package it up properly.
And finally, I've frozen my a/c again. :( With the fibre channel and all of my machines going over those several days, the apartment got pretty hot (cite my away message "i don't think my apt can adequately cool the current level of heat i am generating… :("). So, I figured it was just all of the drives spun up, working hard, and generating too much heat. But, Friday night, it was cool enough that I turned off the a/c and opened some windows for a while. That's when I heard it, the ominous dripping coming from the HVAC closet. I took off the grate with my trusty cordless drill (thanks Clay and KB), and confirmed what was going on. I called the office Saturday morning and put in a work order. Later when I dropped off rent, the lady at the office said that she would have maintenance call me to confirm that it was a trivial condensation leak. They never called. Chalk up one more for "The Runaround". Maintenance finally knocked on my door at 8:15 this morning. He confirmed that it was frozen, turned it off, and is letting it thaw right now. Hopefully all it needs is a little freon top-off. But it is worrisome that they topped it off not too long ago. Either I'm doing something that I'm not supposed to do, or there's a leak…
Anyway, so I was up early and started writing to catch everyone up. I made sure to take a shower before the dude got back and tried to finish this post up before work. And now I'm done, and I still have gobs of time before work… bah!

This guy on the plane just broke up w his girlfriend and she's SOBBING pic.twitter.com/IW9QVYxXdB
— Kelly Keegs (@keegs141) August 23, 2015
The details of a couple's emotional fight on a U.S. flight are trending on Twitter.
The unnamed man and woman were arguing on a delayed plane at Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina on Aug. 23, when a fellow passenger took to Twitter and provided minute-by-minute updates with sarcasm and snark.
Kelly Keegs of New York was sitting across the aisle and was distracted by the loud cries of the woman and the man saying, "Is this really a surprise? Are you seriously surprised by this information?"
Keegs wrote on Twitter: "This is the greatest plane delay I've ever had."
The passenger went on to tweet specific lines said by the raging male and sobbing woman.
At one point, the girl exclaimed, "Great. Just great. I'm so glad I paid 40 extra dollars to be on this F—ing flight with you."
The guy said, "I can't discuss this anymore," and the girl responded, "So I'm not worth your time?"
Below you'll find highlights from Keegs' tweets, though many aren't included due to bad language.
Keegs gained 7,000 new followers after posting about the couple's breakup and is enjoying her new "fame."
Every time I open Twitter my phone freezes because of the mentions. Now I know how @onedirection must feel. #PlaneBreakup

text: There is a tradition, especially in Oaxaca, of adding fruit to a mole. The fruits are chopped extremely fine and are completely absorbed into the sauces and are never sweet. This great sauce follows in that tradition. The Aji Amarillo pepper and the strawberries add an unusual "sweetness" to the peppery sauce. Just add chicken and some stock and you won't believe the unusual flavors. Or place a piece of salmon with some onions and peppers in tin foil or parchment paper and bake. Endless possibilities and adventures are waiting for you. Simple, quick no chemicals and no fats -- just real flavor for real people.

Hot in pursuit of a tourism sales job in Rome, I stumbled upon Gathering, or street tour sales, in Rome. While it might not be the perfect travelling job in Rome, it has money making potential – and since I am a greedy hob goblin – this could be a beautiful relationship, or an alcoholic co-dependent one. Either way, staying alive and staying abroad.
To find tourism jobs in Rome, you really need to decide what type of jobs you are interested in. If you have a background in history Tour Guiding maybe more up your alley, regardless, many tourism jobs in Rome start you out in Gathering, which may not be for everyone, but a necessary evil if you want to work in Rome.

Tibet Travel Guide
Tibet © McKay Savage
Tibet, the roof of the world, is a land of dramatic mountain ranges, stark open plains, and a truly unique culture and people group. The historical region in the southwest of China, lay largely undiscovered by outsiders until the beginning of the 20th century, but has since captured the worlds' imagination, where fascinated travellers seeking the unspoilt and more remote corners of the globe.
China invaded and annexed Tibet in 1950, and the country has since officially been known as the Tibet Autonomous Region. Travelling through Tibet is sadly no longer permitted unless visitors are part of an organised tour booked through an authorised tour operator. However, those who prefer to travel outside of big groups can still be granted permits so long as they have a guide and an itinerary booked through their tour operator. Travellers must be careful to remain with their tour guide for the duration of their stay. Luckily, tours of Tibet are plentiful and varied and itineraries can be arranged according to individual preference, but travellers should bear in mind that China occasionally suspends travel permits to Tibet due to political tension. In recent years, there has been a massive influx of Han-Chinese immigrants to Tibet, and Chinese-Tibetan relations can be strained at times, but Tibetan locals are famously friendly and hospitable to foreign visitors.
The vast Tibetan territory consists of a massive plateau surrounded by towering mountain ranges: the Himalayas to the south; the Karakoram to the west; the Kunlun to the north; and smaller ranges fringe the east, forming a barrier between Tibet and China's internal provinces. Most of Tibet is several thousand feet above sea level, meaning that the air is thin. The region is a major draw for mountaineers, containing some of the world's highest and most picturesque mountain peaks, capped by Mount Everest at 29,029 feet (8,848m), in the Himalayas of Tibet's Tingri Country.
Tibet is unbelievably scenic, with towering snow-covered peaks, glaciated high passes, aquamarine lakes, primeval forests, and piercingly blue skies. Despite its altitude and the thick snow and ice covering the mountains, Tibet actually has snowfall only a few times each year, with plenty of sunshine the rest of the time. Tibet's major cities and towns are congregated mainly in the southern part of the region. Here, in the agricultural sector, are the capital Lhasa and the other major city of Shigatse, which offer the region's most well-known tourist attractions, including the Summer Palace of the Dalai Lama and the Rongbuk Monastery, which is the highest in the world and has fantastic views of Mount Everest.

We are in the HAPPY PEOPLE business!
Case studies
JBL at Capi – Winning before flying
At Schiphol Airport some people are in a hurry, but other have a lot of time to hang around at the airport. We target these people and offer them a chance to win discount on a JBL speaker. They need to play a game for it and based on their score they win. People got in line to play and we reached many happy travellers.
Nike – Data driven shoe wall
Together with Samsung we developed an interactive shoe wall. The touchscreens behind the shoes respond to pickups, powered by RFID technology. The content is personalised per shoe, but the real beauty is in the data we capture on the back of this eco-system. We are able to deliver insights on how people behave before they actually buy the shoe. These insights drive store performance and inventory management.
Etos Flagship store – Interactive screen and shelf
We combine multiple touchscreens with customer information, with interactive shelf space. On this shelf we display product with RFID tags on them. When a customer picks up a product the screen gets activated for that specific product. The real magic is in the data behind it, while we optimise the full store experience based on insights we gather. This results in a richer customer experience, more sales and much more control of the customer journey!
OLA QR game – Win ice-cream while waiting
Nobody likes to wait. Especially when you are in a theme park and you need to wait for the next ride can be frustrating. We decided to make this waiting moment fun. We placed several QR codes in line, which would activate the Ola game when you scan these. When you fly well enough with the iconic Raket, you will deserve a discount or even win a free ice-cream. Result: Thousands of game plays and a sales uplift!
HERO Product Activation – SPAR University
Together with Young Perfect we executed an activation for HERO at SPAR University. Goal was not to just sample product and give it away, but let people work for it. Are you working hard enough and are able to stack HERO cans to the top, you win!
Johnnie Walker at Gall&Gall – Increasing sales and fun
By placing a touchscreen at the counter, we give customers the opportunity to play a game with which they can win discount on a Johnnie Walker product. The feeling of winning makes the discount a stronger motivator to buy something, when compared to "simply" giving away discounts. +18% of the people who played the game purchased a product of which 60% indicated they were not planning to buy that brand before playing.
Coca-Cola at Albert Heijn – Interactive product promotion
We promoted Coca-Cola using the Blue Fire Kiosk. People start the game by scanning their loyalty card and win a discount based on their performance in the game. The Kiosk prints a receipt that the winner can use at the counter to collect their discount. More than 15% of the people who won also bought a product. More than 80% of all players indicate they would like to play games like these more often.
MORA at the Horecava
In collaboration with van Geloven and Meisjes met Smaak, we developed an interactive trigger to pull more people to their location at the Horecava. Combining our solution with a promotional employee, creates even more attention and buzz for your brand.
HAK at JUMBO – Promoting a product with smart display
Through interactive advertising, we connect customers with the brand, explained the benefits of the product, and tell the brand story. We work as part of the brand team to make touchscreen marketing part of their overall marketing strategy and customer journey. We combined our interactive game with a SMART display next to it to measure direct sales activity after interactions
KPN stores – Encourage impuls sales
We developed a mechanism which would encourage more customers to buy additional products after they got a new phone at the KPN stores. These were products like phone covers and chargers. You could only play when you bought a phone and got a special code to unlock the game.
Starbucks at EG Group – Engagement and sales uplift
An interactive promotion for Starbucks, where we added gamification to the regular promotion. The screen gets a lot of engagement and encourages people to play and win. Seeing people play drives many more interactions and positive social behavior around the screen. Sales uplift +200 % compared to a regular promotion.
Red Bull at Total – Play for a discount
At Total fuel stations we stopped giving the discount away at the counter, but instead let people work for it. Many things happend. First of all a positive vibe started in the station, other people in line wanted to play also, people came back more often, and sales went up with more than 20% compared to the traditional promotion.
Etos at 9maanden beurs – Collecting data
We developed a game on several tablets which could be played for prices during the 9maandenbeurs, a big event for anything to do with baby's and young mums. People got in line to play and we collected many email addresses of people playing, which has a huge lifetime value for Etos.
Cross device
Our interactive content lives cross device. This makes it easy to play on a touchscreen in store, on mobile or even on a hand scanner. We build the customer journey cross device. People can practice, get inspired or continue playing on any screen they like!
Interactive Content
We use interactive content like mini-games to interact with the target audience.
The interactions are short, fun and an effective means in reaching goals, like sales uplift, branding, collecting data, driving footfall and engagement!
Here are some inspiring examples!
