Prof. Wilhelm T.S. Huck is Professor of Physical Organic Chemistry. He received his PhD (promoter Prof. David Reinhoudt) in 1997 from the University of Twente. After postdoctoral research with Prof. Whitesides at Harvard University, he took up a position in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, where he was promoted to Reader (2003) and Full Professor of Macromolecular Chemistry (2007). He became Director of the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis in 2004. In 2010 he moved to the Radboud University Nijmegen and completely changed research direction. His main interest is in understanding how life works at the molecular level and the ultimate goal of his group is to build a synthetic cell. His groupfocuses on the physical organic chemistry of the cell and aims to elucidate, using model systems, the influence of the special nature of the cellular environment on complex reaction networks in cells. Another important area of research is the synthesis and analysis of complex reaction networks and the incorporation of 'molecular programmes' into synthetic materials. He was elected to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) in 2012 and elected to the Royal Society of Chemistry. He has published around 250 papers and supervised ~20 PhD students. For his work in Nijmegen he received an ERC advanced grant (2010), a VICI award (2011), and the Spinoza prize (2016).

The proliferation of ironclad battleship designs came to an end in the 1890s as navies reached a consensus on the design of battleships , producing the type known as the pre @-@ Dreadnought . These ships are sometimes covered in treatments of the ironclad warship . The next evolution of battleship design , the dreadnought , is never referred to as an ' ironclad ' .

The first Alison Douglas Summer School for Early Career Researchers was held at the Frauenwoerth abbey in Germany in July 2013
The first Alison Douglas Summer School for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) was held at the Frauenwörth abbey in Bavaria, Germany in July 2013. The meeting was attended by 32 ECRs and 16 members of faculty, including 2 journalists from the FP7 project MAITRE, who ran media training workshops. The Summer School consisted of a series of interactive science-based teaching workshops on the food, energy balance, obesity and feeding theme, and their associated group-based tasks, as well as more generic workshops based around topics including future EU funding, the future of publishing, and an industry perspective. The School finished with a high-octane ‘Dragon’s Den’ event based on funding proposals prepared by groups of ECRs, and judged by the faculty.
The Summer School was part funded by the BSN in commemoration of Alison Douglas, and partly by FP7 funded EU projects Full4Health, NeuroFAST, EUROCHIP and MAITRE. Feedback suggests that the ECRs found the event very valuable and enjoyable, and the organisers hope that the networking opportunities the School provided will bear fruit in the future as this generation of ECRs develop their careers over the coming years. A report compiled by ECRs will follow in our next Newsletter - watch this space! |

New regulations, changing client needs and ongoing globalization are just some of the challenges corporate banks face, and the widening divergence between top and bottom performers shows that some have adapted better than others. This report from Boston Consulting Group professionals around the world advises that, to succeed, corporate banks will have to rethink the traditional model of “being all things to all clients in all places.” getAbstract recommends this broad overview of corporate banking’s evolution to executives in the financial services industry.
How corporate banks can alter their businesses to adapt to a new environment and increase their profitability.
Corporate banking, which caters to businesses of all types and sizes, needs to evolve. In 2014, about two-thirds of banks’ corporate divisions reported returns on capital below a 16% threshold, and more than half have experienced falling profitability since 2011.

Fleur Bult is a fashion photographer based in Amsterdam who loves to travel. She has worked with clients all around the world like Amatør, Wrangler, i-D, Yen, Also Journal UK, Love Stories, AUrate NYC, Lovers&Drifters, So It Goes Magazine, Anecdote, and most recently gracing the cover of our client’s publication jane. by the grey attic.
I couldn’t be happier with my profession, for me it’s a dream. I was already longing for photography when I was around the age of 14 and I knew I would love to do this for the rest of my life.
Some stories or trips abroad have been really special to me they continue to give me a feeling I can’t describe. It’s a mix between adrenaline and pure happiness. When I arrive at home after a successful creative shoot where I’ve challenged myself, I can’t think about anything else anymore, and I smile from ear-to-ear.
My style of photography is more of an art form. I don’t think fashion photography has the only purpose to sell clothing. Although I’m highly interested in clothing and fabrics, I love to play with forms and shapes of clothing and show the fabrics in the purest form. I also think that I share my feelings and a dream. You can inspire people with this profession. I really like the mix between working for fashion brands and independent fashion and art magazines.
Every story has a different concept to it. My work for independent fashion or art magazines usually has more layers to it and I spend a lot of time thinking about the concept. I have total freedom to create whatever comes to mind. When I work for brands or commercial fashion magazines it works differently because I also must keep what the client wants in mind.
The underlying theme in my work is that my women are always alone with their thoughts. Sometimes a bit melancholic, because I think it’s important that you feel something when you look at my work instead of photography that lets you feel nothing. My photography is serene, pure, clean, storytelling and it’s all about the person I photograph. I want to let their character and personality speak.
A lot of movies have been inspirational for my work. I love to watch art house movies with melancholic themes about life that has a lot of deeper layers to it. Directors like Lars von Trier, Terrence Malick and Derek Cianfrance have my preference.
American film director and screenwriter Terrence Malick makes extraordinary movies that make me think a lot. For instance, ‘The Tree of Life.’ I love the meditative voiceovers from an individual character in his movies and how they act. It focuses on an individual’s struggle. A big inspiration for my photography is Derek Cianfrance. Blue Valentine and The Place beyond the pines are just great. I could watch them over and over again.
I like the fact that everybody can interpret art in a different way. I don’t want to direct them in a corner but hope they think about my work and see it as personal, intimate and inspiring.
I have books but some magazines feel more like specials books to me because they are so beautiful. They combine fashion and art and I just love this. My background was in Fine Arts before I started with photography. The magazines have a special place in my house. My favourites are: The Gentlewoman, Twin, T magazine, Unconditional Magazine, jane. by the grey attic, Rika, Union, WSJ, M le Monde and Russh.
You plan a lot with fashion shoots. Bringing a whole team together and finding a location. But on the day itself the freedom comes in and everything comes together. The magic moments with the model, the light that hopefully is on your side, and my urge to capture her in a particular way.
I think it’s helpful if you want to work internationally. Some clients abroad have gave me jobs because they have seen my work through Instagram, so that’s really nice.
Unfortunately, the romantic love is a state of no control and least awareness that typically lasts until after you move in together. However his impatience help him do so many things and reach so many goals that others can only dream of, sexual intimacy issues in marriage.

Given the text: Dribbble. Maybe you love it; maybe you loathe it. Since its launch in 2009, it's become a popular way for designers to share peeks at what they're working on, or just promote their latest projects. Whether you think it's a good or bad thing for the design community, I wanted to share some of the aspects of the site that I've found useful, beyond just checking out others' work, stalking my favorite designers, and sharing my own work on occasion. You don't even need a coveted invite to take advantage of these Dribbble features.
When you upload a shot, Dribbble automatically generates a color scheme from that shot. The results are often surprising. Dribbble picks up colors that aren't directly from the designer's exact color scheme. Or if the shot is a photo of a screen, or shows something like a table behind a printed design, it picks up those colors that are completely unrelated to the actual design. The result is unexpected color schemes that are often good starting points for branching out and creating your own surprising color schemes for a project.
Let's say you don't have the freedom to completely create a color scheme from scratch. The client already has a brand color you're working with. If that color is one you never work with, you might not immediately know how to best use it, or what colors to pair with it. You can search Dribbble by color, down to the exact HEX number, making it easy to see what other designers have done with that color, and quickly getting an idea of what other colors work and don't work with it.
We've all spent a lot of time in Photoshop. A lot. Over the years we've developed our own methods and tricks for accomplishing what we want in it. Consequently, we've all developed our own blind spots in terms of some of Photoshop's features. One of the great things about working on a team with other designers at Viget is that I've often had a chance to work with another designer's PSD and learn how they use the program. A lot of designers on Dribbble attach PSDs with their shots, often as freebies for others who want to use their designs. I wouldn't suggest grabbing their UI designs and dragging them into your own comps. But if you see something you like and want to know how a designer achieved an aesthetic, it can be educational to crack open their PSD and find out what they did. Maybe they're using layer styles in ways you never thought of, or masks in a way you didn't know was possible.
Articulating constructive criticism is difficult. The most useful critique to receive identifies the problem with a design, why it's a problem, and offers the designer inspiration for fixing it, without dictating exactly what you think the solution is. Critiquing like this is a skill and takes practice. Designers often post their work on Dribbble because they want feedback and critique. By giving critique on shots, you're helping them out, and you're keeping your own articulation and critical thinking skills sharp. These are good skills to have, not only when critiquing others, but when discussing design with clients.
Studying processes over finished products has been a recurring theme with me this year. Because it is not a portfolio site, Dribbble is one of the best places to see the process designers go through, refining their work over time and incorporating feedback as a project progresses. Through projects and designers rebounding their own work, you can get an educational peek at what goes on behind the scenes that you probably won't see on a designer's polished portfolio piece.
What about you? Have you found Dribbble useful beyond being a place to look at cool work and to have your own cool work looked at?
What skill can be developed by giving constructive criticism on Dribbble, and how does it differ from critiquing finished portfolio pieces? |

This week’s horoscopes are coming out in the afterglow of the Summer Solstice under the light of a Sagittarius Moon. At the moment I am full of thoughts about the current astrological picture, wondering if I even have the right to talk about it. My sense is that the smallness of my perceptions limits my ability to offer any useful or objective insights – but nevertheless, here are a few things that I have noticed that might contain a wisp of truth, give you some food for thought, and add a bit of inspiration to your week.
Dionysus is opposing Saturn and both of them are squaring Atropos. Dionysus is a multifaceted archetype. On one level he is the god of wine, women and song. On a deeper level he is the god of rebirth, and is otherwise known as “The Twice Born.” When we put him in opposition to Saturn, the Grim Reaper and the king of the old paradigm, a number of things come into play.
My first take on this is that it’s time for the old guard and the powers that be to get sent off to rehab to clean up their act – or not. Because Atropos is a symbol for what happens at the tail end of any situation, the square to Atropos implies that 13,000 years of lies and BS are coming to an end. With Dionysus suggesting that something new will come to life in the wake of all of this, it feels like something that resembles truth will spring forth to vanquish that which time has corrupted, and which has been lying at the root of all evil, gnawing away at the tree of life since the time before time.
In tandem with this, Apollo and Siva are squaring Astraea. This makes me think that, no matter who we think we are, and what we think is going on, the Grand Cycle has indeed come to an end. All around us, the castles are crumbling, in preparation for a rebuilding and a rebirth. The last time this happened was during the Atlantean era. We are back at exactly the same point that we were at then.
When life reaches these points, the polarity that is intrinsic to Planet Earth gets magnified to the nth degree, and the human element, or the mass consciousness, heads to one extreme or another. Take a look around. It’s quite obvious that we are positioned on opposite sides of a fence that separates mankind into factions that do not see eye to eye. No matter on which side of the fence we stand, all of us think that we are 100 percent right, and there is no conversation or any sense of cooperation between those who see things differently. Interestingly, at the physical level, from the standpoint of Mother Earth, this is when pole shifts occur.
Seen from an astrological perspective, an opposition between Sappho and Psyche tells me that there is a huge amount of psychic damage being born out of the fact that it is nearly impossible to converse with our neighbors without ending up in an argument – or a riot – or a war. The fact that this Sappho-Psyche aspect squares the lunar nodes on the Leo/Aquarius axis tells me that our black and white, “I’m right, you’re wrong” perceptions are totally interfering with our growth and blocking the path of human evolution toward unity and oneness.
I don’t get out much. I spend most of my time working, swimming, and pondering things, trying to understand why none of us seems to know how to come together. Many well informed souls who spout New Age aphorisms and claim to be in touch with principles of love and light have turned rogue in the heat of righteousness and are now blind when it comes to any ability to see how bigoted they have become. Posed against anything and anyone who sees things differently, all of them, on both sides, are rabidly calling for blood and guilty of the same ignorance that they accuse those on the other side of the fence of being guilty of.
It’s getting hard to watch – but part of a process, I guess. Will we rise above this, or will it do us in? Who can say – but that’s what’s on the line right now. Early this morning, my friend Jane, a gal who lives in Minneapolis, sent me a quote from a book she is reading. In case you’re interested, it comes from “The Law of One” series. Reading it through I thought to myself, “This is what would help, and what we need to remember right now – not just in a lip service way, but in real time, all the time.” Let me leave you with that, thank Jane for the inspiration, and invite you to take what you can from this week’s ‘scopes. |
Write a Python program that implements the Shell Sort algorithm to sort an array of integers with increasing values. The program should take user input for the array and print out the sorted array. The Shell Sort algorithm should be implemented using the gap sequence of (n/2), (n/4), (n/8), ... 1, where n is the length of the array. The program should also handle invalid inputs such as non-integer elements in the array or an empty array. The code should be well-documented with clear variable names and follow the PEP 8 style guide for Python code. |

The batteries have a claim to the title of the first ironclad warships but they were capable of only 4 knots ( 7 km / h ) under their own power : they operated under their own power at the Battle of Kinburn , but had to be towed for long range transit . They were also arguably marginal to the work of the navy . The brief success of the floating ironclad batteries convinced France to begin work on armored warships for their battlefleet .

If the SFA exercises the option to provide the opportunity to waive or subsidize other district fees (e.g., registration, athletic fees, technology fees, etc.) based on a student’s free or reduced price meal benefit status, the SFA must provide the Sharing Information with Other Programs form to all recipients as determined through an application as well as Direct Certification. SFAs must allow households to limit consent to only those programs they wish to share information. SFAs are not allowed to have a blanket fee waiver. Additional benefits outside of the meal benefit cannot be provided until a signed form is returned to the SFA allowing the information to be shared.
Alternatively, SFAs can have parents/guardians self-disclose eligibility information by providing a copy of their application approval letter to the program offering fee waivers or subsidized fees. Another option is for fee waivers and subsidized fees to be handled outside of the food service department by an alternate data collection method.
For anyone receiving benefit information to approve students for non-food service program benefits, the following Disclosure Agreement form should be signed and on file at the district:
As noted above, if the SFA provides fee waivers and subsidization based on meal benefit status, the Sharing Information with Other Programs form MUST be included with the Direct Certification Approval Letter and returned with signature before any additional benefit outside of the meal benefit can be provided.
SFAs can use this template to communicate student transfer and carryover status from Provision (CEP and P2) schools to Non-Provision schools
For those SFAs operating the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the Special Milk Program (SMP), the following should be included in the application packet:
Agencies wishing to modify this application must obtain prior approval from the School Nutrition Team. If your district does not offer the ability for parents to complete an application online, prior approval is not required to remove the “Apply online” information on the top right of the application or point number 5 from the Frequently Asked Questions About Free and Reduced Price School Meals. - REQUIRED
Disclosure Agreement (to be signed by those receiving benefit information, as agreed to by the benefit recipient in the Sharing Information with Other Programs form) - REQUIRED IF SHARING INFORMATION

Within the second inside our fast paced and power pushed whole earth additional plus far more individuals are slipping target to nervousness and despair healing works. For just a handful of like me it may be along with you to get a handful of from the grownup on a daily basis life time. I original turned well-informed that some subject wasn’t correct with my psychological daily existence and temperament when in my late teens. I’d commonly holding a relatively lad and expert endured from bullying in school which brought on me to tumble out early to work concerning the home users farm. I turned appreciably way more unhappy and lonely as I now experienced pretty compact connection with the realm earth aside from attending Sunday mass. This was melancholy I’d personally personally later on notice, a load only individuals which have endured can adequately fully grasp. Sooner or later I did make makes an endeavor to normally certainly be a good deal additional outgoing yet it were challenging. I made up my mind to push which at least gave me a unique diploma of independence.
But despair was however there inspite of your actuality that i was obtaining to be addressed with deferent prescription drugs at this stage. I even now felt outside of types and really anxious and anxious when even though inside the company of some some other people. In the conclude my GP authorized but 1 extra medication and this was practically absolutely likely probably the most prosperous. Inevitably I had been equipped to dwell a far more fulfilling each day dwelling while I nevertheless experienced an excellent amount of setbacks and downers. Though even though during the early nineties I grew to become obsessed with distinct therapies together with Reiki therapeutic. Immediately pursuing on the lookout at by in excess of the difficulty I created contact with an English female identified as Lea Cowin who lived in Castlebaldwin, Sligo, Eire and she or he or he was a Reiki grasp and mentor. I took the theory and next diploma quantities of Reiki. I remember the peace and experience of well-being I felt at all those folks persons classes so properly. On no account in all my time in mainstream religion did this type of psychological emotion of contentment search. Driving again yet again to Cavan on those people persons evenings I used to be so content to secure a modify.
When rearing a youthful loved ones I drifted away from creating time everyday for religious issues. I finished employing Reiki and moved on it appeared. Despair was not prolonged long absent despite the fact that. I suppose I need to dwell using this type of unique be concerned for all times. What exactly launched me nevertheless once again to imagining to the religious elements? My daughter suffers from eczema and it’s got experimented with out many cures for that get over with no owning achievement. Just recently we ended up pointed though whilst within the route of a healer in neighbouring county Monaghan. As we sat in silence within the existence of Martin the healer all was even now and silent. Martin questioned us a number of concepts about Niamh’s eczema and afterwards returned into what appeared like some sort of trance together with his eyes closed. Adhering to a few minutes I actually uncovered an superb notion of tranquil, contentment, peace and enjoy.
I’d been not the one below for healing obtaining spelled out which i realized some type of therapeutic was also touching me. The ultimate time I felt this type of heat emotion was yet again in Sligo at Lea Cowin’s Therapeutic workshops. I am not an excessively Non secular man or woman or feminine and that i am undecided what transpired previous seven occasions at Martins therapeutic centre, but I am completely self-confident one more matter really loving touched my soul. Niamh and that i shell out 10 minutes daily to the 7 times in silence previous to a lighted candle as questioned for by Martin. He informed us that just right after three months her eczema will almost certainly be mounted. Our existing day chaotic complete world has get rid of contact with its non secular facet and has endured similar to a stop end result. Most of us ought to have therapeutic in the extremely a method or other. We’ve to produce time even 10 or fifteen minutes everyday only to hook up for fairly a while with our spiritual self. Just mild a candle and sit and focus and preserve out and find out what usually takes spot.

After a very long 47 day cycle I finally got to take my first clomid tablet today and have booked a scan for the 23rd, my problem is I am not sure what I should be looking for on the scan or what kind of questions to ask,
When i went for my scan they looked for follicles in the ovary that are measuring around i think 18mm, these are the ones that are likely to 'pop'. It dpends on what day you are in cycle as to what size. On day 10 mine were 11mm and one 14mm and they also measured womb lining, they put these measurements on to graph and explained that things were heading the right way for a 28 day cycle. If they are happy with the number and sizes then they will advise you to go home and 'do the deed!!' Sometimes they may ask you to go back in to re check the sizes or number of follicles. That is just my experience i think each clinic is different. As for questions im sure they will cover most things but be sure to ask to or get your partner if he is there to listen as i was just happy that i had grew some follicles as to what to do next i didnt take it all in. They will probably give you info sheet!!
Hope this helps a bit, my memory is not great!! I really hope this cycle of clomid goes well, and you get the result you want x x x

One day to go until Black Friday, but some retailers that sell toys are already releasing nice deals on their websites. Looks like Early bird offers to me.
First to mention is Tesco – they feature up to 50% off on selected toys message; that’s something not to miss. According to the update we got from them, this deal will be only available until November 27, you’ve got 2 days to grab a bargain there. Link to Toys at Tesco
Tumble Tots team specialise on physical play programme for kids. Their range of toys helps channel never ending natural children energy in the right direction. I was mostly impressed with their outdoor section, but since it’s not the best season for any outdoor games, take a look at the co-ordination and balance part of the website as well, there are quite a few alternatives. To get free delivery on orders over £25 use “ship” code at checkout. The voucher is valid until 30 November.
Finally, at Daisy Baby Shop a selection of BoBo Buddies are reduced by 25%. On top of that, there is a free delivery for the products. There is no expiry date per se, the offer lasts until the stock does. Some of these backpacks look so cute I think I could use it myself. |

A proposed class of vehicle owners was granted class certification in a lawsuit against Ford Motor Company. A California federal judge granted the cert to Ford Focus car owners who claimed a suspension defect in some models led to dangerous tire wear. The decision came after the Ninth Circuit Court overturned a prior decision in favor of Ford.
The judge said the class met all qualifiers for certification and will include any U.S. resident who bought or leased a Ford Focus manufactured between 2005 and 2011. Hicks Thomas LLP and Carney Bates & Pulliam PLLC were approved as class counsel.
“The court finds no reason to doubt that plaintiff’s counsel are qualified to conduct this litigation and will vigorously prosecute the action on behalf of class members,” the judge said.
The lawsuit was launched by five Ford Focus owners in November 2011. One of these drivers, Margie Daniel, claimed the rear suspension of some vehicles had an alignment defect. The defect allegedly caused the tires to wear down irregularly, which in turn caused the cars to slide in snowy, wet, or inclement weather.
In 2013, a judge granted a summary motion in favor of the motor vehicle company under the Unfair Competition Law and the Consumer Legal Remedies Act. The motion was appealed in the Ninth Circuit by Focus owners.
John B. Thomas of Hicks Thomas LLP told Law360 the path to class certification was a “long haul.” Additionally, he said that Ford adjusted the suspension in 2011, so owners of previous models should have access to the solution as well. “We’re hopeful now that the owners of Ford Focuses can get the fix they need in their vehicles,” Thomas said.
John B. Thomas, Eric Grant, and Kelsey McDowell of Hicks Thomas LLP and Allen Carney of Carney Bates & Pulliam PLLC are representing the vehicle owners.

George Steiner , literary critic for The New Yorker and The New York Times , had written about the Holocaust in some of his previous books , including Anno Domini ( 1964 ) , Language and Silence ( 1967 ) and In Bluebeard 's Castle ( 1971 ) . Many of the ideas Steiner expresses in The Portage to San Cristobal of A.H. were reworked from these earlier works . Steiner told New York Times editor D. J. R. Bruckner that this book arose out of his lifelong work on language . " Central to everything I am and believe and have written is my astonishment ... that you can use human speech both to bless , to love , to build , to forgive and also to torture , to hate , to destroy and to annihilate .

WWF South Africa raised this concern after the South African Department of Environmental Affairs announced that 1 028 rhino were illegally killed during 2017. The figure shows a small decline from the 1 054 recorded as poached during 2016, which in turn was a reduction from the record loss of 1 215 recorded in 2014.
Overall 2017 also appeared to show a shift to poaching impacts on other species with elephant losses in Kruger National Park reported to have increased to 67 in 2017 compared to 46 in 2016 - these are important trends to address now to be ahead of the curve and prevent the escalation seen previously for rhino. However, wildlife trafficking is not just about the impacts on rhinos, elephants or our protected areas. Exposure to unwanted criminal elements operating within poaching syndicates is unravelling the social fabric in communities and our responses need to also reflect and address this.
Dr Margaret Kinnaird, WWF Wildlife Practice Leader, added: “News of the reduction in numbers of rhinos killed illegally in South Africa for the third consecutive year is encouraging. However, the numbers are still far too high. We must also shine a light on the ongoing struggles facing the people whose safety and livelihoods are threatened by this illicit trade. To address poaching and the destruction it causes to both humans and wildlife, we need to put more effort into stopping the corruption that facilitates the trade and change consumer behaviour particularly in Asia, to stop the demand for illegal wildlife products such as rhino horn.” |
How can one register for the symposium, and whom should they contact with any questions or concerns?: The SETAC International Programs Committee cordially invites you to participate in the symposium Application of Weight-of-Evidence (WoE) in Risk-Based Ecological Assessment Frameworks, which will take place on Sunday, 3 May 2015, from 9:00-17:00.
The symposium will highlight some of the international chemicals management systems that are currently in place and will emphasize the factors most important for undertaking a risk-based WoE ecological assessment, including problem formulation, evaluation of data quality and assessment of lines and strength of evidence. The symposium will also explore fate, hazard and exposure evaluation, and characterization of uncertainty. Chemicals management regulatory programs have experienced an explosion of international activity as regulatory authorities prioritize the need to systematically assess the ecological risks associated with chemicals in commerce. The emergence of these chemicals management regulatory programs has been accompanied by an equivalent growth in the science associated with their implementation. The scientific community has been especially active in the refinement of risk-based WoE methods and techniques to evaluate the risks from exposure to chemicals. As an international leader in advancing the science associated with ecological assessment, this symposium further illustrates SETAC’s longstanding tradition of bringing practical solutions to environmental challenges.
Register today! Space is limited so don’t delay.
To register, please send an email to Sarah Spanoghe in the SETAC office.

The tenor of his work changed as he developed his style and adapted to his surroundings ( " chameleon @-@ like " according to Watson ) : his earliest works are in a relatively derivative , courtly style , but he came into his own in the years of the rebellion . Owen comments on the " grim simplicity " of the Qinzhou poems , which mirrors the desert landscape ; the works from his Chengdu period are " light , often finely observed " ; while the poems from the late Kuizhou period have a " density and power of vision " .

To motivate myself and try and make better progress, in November, I set myself some goals. Bit of a silly time to set goals as everything went out the window in December.One of those goals was to run 5 miles, What seemed like a big task as I have never been a keen runner. It seemed even more crazy as I didn't bother to run even! Wen't a few times but as I got into spin, I was preferring the warmer climate of the gym rather than the cold(ish) outdoors!
The few runs I have done recently were okay but my trainers kept giving me blisters. They were only cheapy ones from Sports Direct (own brand) and although they are perfectly fine for in the gym and at spin (will probably still wear them to spin), I really wasn't getting on with them for running, or in classes really. There are soooo many trainers out there I didn't really know where to start so for a long while, couldn't be bothered. However we went shopping for ski stuff the other weekend and I saw a pair of Nike Free 5.0 Trainers in the sale so tried them on. I loved them but for some reason didn't buy them at the time. Instead I spent all evening googling them until I could find a pair at least the same price as I saw in the shop. In the end I actually got them in a nicer colour for £10 less, but I had to wait for them to come from Germany...
I somewhat took myself by surprise yesterday.. I had booked to go to spin post night shift, I went home for a sleep and had my alarm all set to get up and go. The alarm didn't go off but lovely Charlie Man (my doggie) came and woke me up just 10mins later than I should have got up anyway. I hauled my groggy arse out of bed, went downstairs, decided to ditch the spin idea, preferring a coffee and mong on the sofa. Then I saw my band new trainers sitting there, just asking to be taken for a run...
An hour and 8 minutes later, 3 laps round the block and 7 miles, YES 7 WHOLE MILES later and I was home again!! I can't friggen believe it!! So chuffed with myself.
I thank a good pair of trainers and my obsession with spin. Double my previous best distance! Okay, it's all either downhill or flat but even so!! I don't think my pace was too bad really either. I only really faltered on the last mile when I got a bit of a stitch so had to slow down. Once I got over the initial hump at the beginning - where I always want to give up - I found, cardiovascular wise, that I was pretty stable throughout.
I became aware of the impact through my feet at about 3.5m in but come the end I only had one small blister on the ball of my foot which I think is related to the way I run rather than the trainers. They simply molded to my feet and let me go on and on!
I have felt the burn though post run! I kept waking myself up last night whenever I rolled over as my groin muscles felt like they were in spasm, and I decided to skip spin/body con this morning too as I was walking like an old woman. I'll be fine tomorrow, it feels loads better already! I dunno what I was thinking really, casually banging out a 7 mile run and would have no aches and pains after! Feet feel good though!!
I have lost weight recently which hasn't really been my aim but there have also been some changes body wise, albeit slow.. I wan't to gain muscle not loose weight really. I haven't lifted so much though either so I can't expect it all. In fact I did a quick sesh in the gym the other day and was disappointed that I couldn't lift as much as before - which wasn't a lot to begin with. I don't think body conditioning classes and spin alone is going to be enough!!
I get nervous before I look at those numbers! It can be physically and mentally challenging to face the cold and sometimes cruel truth of your bank account. And yet, it has to be done. It’s like swallowing medicine: you hate to do it but it’s the only way to get healthy. So take a deep breath and join me as we face our bank accounts together!
Here’s how I feel when facing my bank account. I might be frustrated by what I find there (or angry or sometimes downright confused) but I have to know. Nothing else can be done with your money until you know exactly what the deal is.
Worse, you can get yourself into trouble by ignoring your account status. If you have to maintain a certain balance and you drop below it, you could be charged a fee. If you spend more than you have in your account you could incur an overdraft fee. I don’t know about you, but I really hate fees. They’re, in the words of the immortal Jean Ralphio, “the worst person in the world.” (Minus the personhood, double the worst thing ever.)
Facing your bank account is the first step you take in controlling your finances. Knowing what is in there is the only way to do anything with your money. So ask yourself what you want to do. Do you want to save more, or pay off debt, maybe start investing? All of those are going to start with checking out what you got going on in there.
As John Bender said in “The Breakfast Club” (my favorite movie, FYI), “Screws fall out all the time. The world is an imperfect place.” While he is literally referring to a screw during that scene, it’s a valuable lesson for finances.
Companies can overcharge you, transactions can get confusing, and delays can happen with your direct deposit. Mistakes get made; the world is an imperfect place. It’s important to stay on top of your bank account so you can gauge what is normal activity and what isn’t. Personally I don’t make a ton of money right now, which makes me want to be all the more on top of it. As long as $10 seems like a sizeable sum in my life, I’ll notice where every dollar in my account is going.
Conquering your fear of your bank account is also a baller personal move. It’s like leveling up for adults! There are a lot of people in the world who never get over that fear and their personal finances can suffer as a result. I know for me, it’s really important to begin thinking long term with my finances now. Establishing good money habits with the smaller amount I make now will make it easier to handle the larger amount I hope to make one day.
As we age, our finances tend to become more complex. We buy houses, we lease space and collect rent, and we buy or exchange cars. Sums become larger, and transactions have more weight to them. Learning how to face your Saturday night bar tab will help you learn to face your monthly mortgage payments.
If you’re not inspired by my words of wisdom above, you could utilize a time honored tradition that parents with young children have employed since forever. Simply bribe yourself! Tell yourself you can binge watch all the “House of Cards” you want or that you can have cookies for dinner if you check your accounts today. I personally like to allow myself to get lost in the absolute joy that is TV show gag reel highlights on YouTube. Do whatever you want! Be gentle with yourself in another area of your life so you can be firm about looking at your accounts. |
Martine Bellen’s TALES OF MURASAKI uses the pillow book of Lady Murasaki as a starting point for a lyrical and narrative series of poems that explore language as they unearth the core of story. Rosmarie Waldrop, who selected this collection for the 1997 National Poetry Series awards, writes of Bellen’s poetry: “A multivalent, multidirectional logic dances across categories to a space where we cannot tell if a lover ‘is parting or a part of mist and memory, the path is endless.’ It takes our breath away as it leaps across continents and centuries, from Precolumbian Mexico to Japan, from myth to biology.” Publishers weekly observes, “Bellen is a sensualist with a taste for vernacular as refined as C.D. Wright’s; and a historian as steeped in the montage of character and setting as Susan Howe or Guy Davenport… Bellen’s giddy, insouciant renderings of our thickly mythic polish seem fresh.” Martine Bellen lives in New York, where she works in the publishing industry. Based on the passage above, Could you paraphrase Rosmarie Waldrop's description of Martine Bellen's poetry and its use of multivalent logic and exploration of myth and biology across continents and centuries? |

Can you summarize the recent achievement of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and its impact on India's science and technology? Generate according to: The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) today launched 104 satellites in a single shot through PSLV-C37 at Sriharikota station in Andhra Pradesh at 9.28 AM. Out of 104 satellites, 96 satellites are from United States of America (USA). The rocket in full swing begins to place the satellites one after the other into the orbit from 9:45 Am onwards. This stupendous feat of the ISRO scripted a remarkable chapter in the history of India and in specifically Indian Science and Technology. This act of ISRO placed India in the list of developed countries in the category of space technology. This even proved the supremacy of the India in Space. When all the Indian students, mostly IIT students, are eagerly running out to western countries thinking that research opportunities are more outside than in India, the complete world is now marching towards India to look at India’s scientific development. The most significant thing is, more than 70% of the ISRO scientists are not from IIT. For one batch of IIT students to come out government spends close to 100 crores and these IIT students, rather than making IIT as production house of innovations are making IIT as INDIAN INSITITUTE OF TRAVELERS. So my dear students, work hard and aim high, even if you are not from IIT’s you can become a scientist. If you are not from IIT, be proud, as one day you will make an IITan in NASA feel proud that he is proud of being Indian seeing your achievement in India. I wholeheartedly Thank ISRO for motivating students (other than IITans) to aim bigger and achieve biggest, even in staying in India and even by being an Indian.JAI HIND. |
The origins of the hurricane were from a tropical wave that possibly spawned a tropical depression on August 27 , although there was minimal data over the next few days as it tracked to the west @-@ northwest . On August 31 , a nearby ship reported gale force winds , which indicated that a tropical storm had developed to the east @-@ northeast of the Lesser Antilles . Based on continuity , it is estimated the storm attained hurricane status later that day . Moving quickly to the west @-@ northwest , the storm passed north of the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico . Early on September 2 , a ship called the Gulfwing reported a barometric pressure of 978 mbar ( 28 @.@ 88 inHg ) , which confirmed that the storm attained hurricane status . After passing north of the Turks and Caicos islands , the hurricane struck Eleuthera and Harbour Island in the Bahamas on September 3 , the latter at 1100 UTC . A station on the latter island reported a pressure of 27 @.@ 90 inHg ( 945 mb ) during the 30 minute passage of the eye . Based on the pressure and the small size of the storm , it is estimated the hurricane struck Harbour Island with peak winds of 140 mph ( 225 km / h ) , making it the equivalent of a modern Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir @-@ Simpson scale . Interpolation suggested that the storm reached major hurricane status , or Category 3 status , on September 2 .

The auditor is doing all the checks, and then turns to the Rabbi and says, "I noticed that you buy a lot of candles."
When we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles."
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi calmly, "we actually collect up the crumbs, we send them in a box back to the manufacturer and every now and then, they send a free box of matzo balls."
"What we do is save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them to the IRS ."
I fully agree! I love these deep scandinavian curtseys or the one done by Theresa May today when meeting the Queen!

They've arrived at the Palace of Westminster. See post 457 or 459 for live coverage of Felipe's speech. The Sky News Helicopter has followed them all the way from Clarence House.
That is a bit Brittanno-centric seen. Now that we have Spanish visitors, look how the fabulous splendour looks over there in Madrid:
I agree! With exception of US, Chinese and the Japanese/Irish state visits, I've never seen anything like this.
It is absolutely superb coverage. Live on both the BBC and Sky now. I can't wait for the State Banquet tonight! I wasn't expecting anywhere near this level of coverage.
Well, both the King of Norway as well as Queen Margrethe have been formally installed in Windsor. So a formal installation for Félipe nexr year is as good as certain!
I'm very surprised/pleased about it, and we don't see anything like this for state visits in other countries, not even in Norway/Denmark.
This article has additional photos from the BP luncheon where you can see William, Andrew, and Sophie looking at the collected Spanish related items.
Yes, the speeches were marvelous. Very graceful speeches from the Lord Speaker and the House Speaker too.
Following a private lunch at Buckingham Palace, The Queen escorted The King and Queen of Spain to view an exhibition in the Picture Gallery of items from the Royal Collection relating to Spain:
I'm impressed by the turn out of Windsors for this state visit. I am also impressed at how well Philip looks.
As you’ve seen from some of the last few images the crowd at @miumiu was easily one of the best-dressed of the entire season!
Just love the paparazzi in the background all of whom are looking to their right,while this stylish and gorgeous legged beauty strides straight to her destination…the coat is a miu miu billboard…I’m drooling over those fantastic colourful shoes with the delicate heels…the lady understands allure!
I’m nowhere near sophisticated to even know if the coat is supposed to be serious or is worn for advertising purposes (with the prominent name badges) but without the badges I like the coat very much. The heels are high-fashion killers, as well. But I’ve got to add: the young lady is absolutely gorgeous! I suspect I’d approve of whatever she wore. Thanks for the delightful postcard, Sart. |

Scientists again performed distinguishing research. This time they decided to find out why men and women adore the New Year and Christmas so much. More truly they wanted to understand where do the jubilation and the very New Year mood come from? The results of their work were published in a reputable scientific journal The Conversation. The article says that winter holidays seriously affect the human brain. Scientists have concluded that holiday decorations and the atmosphere of preparing for the holiday cause the release of hormones of happiness - serotonin and dopamine. The authors of the study also say that most people even form a whole “Christmas neural network” since childhood, which turns on when you see symbols and attributes of the celebration: Christmas trees, balls, and other decorations. Want to get more hormones of happiness? Finally, decide to celebrate these holidays with the ukraine or russian girl of your dreams from TopLop.com!

Short Description Sailors have gathered in the tavern they call Angel By the Sea, stranded by a monster storm. With no place to go, they tell tales of the sea in hopes of calming themselves & perhaps the sea itself.
Long Description On a cold morning in September of 1890, the morning sun dawned with a blood red sky. By midday, a whale carcass, or at least that's what they call it, has washed ashore. By early evening, sailors gathered in the tavern they call Angel By the Sea are stranded by a monster storm that rages outside, the wrath of the sea itself, they say. With no place to go, telling tales of the sea can calm the hearts of sailors, and perhaps the sea itself. But some tales are not true, others, more true than should be, and others nothing but tall stories. And even the tellers may not all be what they seem... |
Given the text: Do have a marketing plan? Strap in your ejection seat, and get ready for the rockets to fire. This will blast you into a marketing perspective that will challenge everything the Gurus sell you left and right every day. I attended a secret gathering of the biggest money makers in the world of multilevel marketing. The atmosphere was one of extremely high energy, and the whole crowd was literally abuzz. A company that began in 2008 is ready to make a big move on the world markets. There plan is simple (I tell you in a moment) and will enable them to have the same impact as Amway back in 1959. Amway, by the way, is short for American Way and began in Ada, Michigan. It’s founders were Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos. They had one product – Liquid Organic Cleaner – one of the world’s first bio-degradable, concentrated multi-purpose cleaners. No matter what you think, Amway is not and never has been anything close to a pyramid. Basically, their plan was to start by selling products literally everyone uses. In 1959, soap was it. They offered a high grade, concentrated soap, at market compatible prices, and people wanted it and loved it. Why do I tell you this? Because it is the same approach that the owners of this 21st-century company used to launch their company in 2008. In just 5 years, this company has got a foothold in 36 countries with the approval of the governments of each country. They sell a product that 80% of the world loves to have. Holton Buggs, one of the founders, says it is what Warren Buffet advises. Essentially, things you like to do should be your hobbies, and things the world loves is what should be your business. That’s more of a paraphrase than a direct quote. So what is the product? Some of you likely guessed – it’s coffee! It’s not just coffee, it is premium, gourmet coffee. The market for premium coffee is growing rapidly, and we can thank Starbucks for that. Starbucks made it acceptable to pay 5 bucks for a cup of coffee. And what Bernardo Chua, and Shane Morrand decided to do was leverage a market that is the second highest volume on the world’s commodities markets – second only to oil. When they found they could combine one of the healthiest herbs in history with coffee, and literally make coffee uniquely healthy without changing its flavor… well, it made history for the Coffee world. So why did they wait until 2014 to bring all the big marketers together in a secret gathering? Because they had to prove they could make the company grow. They literally created the multilevel marketing worlds top money earners and turned totally inexperienced people into highly successful people. They now had the proof. I was very excited to be at this secret gathering and skeptical about whether it was just buzz. But after tasting, and reviewing everything about the products and people post “secret meeting,” I found that nothing was hype, nothing was just buzz. Organo Gold was where I needed to be, because the product is second to none, and the opportunity has only begun to grow. So now I am part of a team of multilevel marketing top producers and I am inviting you to join in with me because it literally has the easiest marketing plan ever. That’s it, and it works. Anyone that can ask anyone you meet these four questions will have their first customers in days. There is no way around it. Organo Gold – The coffee that pays! PreviousAsk Yourself, Does Your Company Do All This For You? Can you summarize the marketing approach used by Amway in 1959 and how it relates to a 21st-century company that was launched in 2008? |

Here is a piece of text: Pages Holdings Inc. (PHI), one of the fastest growing chain of restaurants in Cebu, has chosen to implement SAP Business One for its digital transformation with the goal of boosting its productivity and business visibility.
Founded in 1996, PHI has since grown to a company that runs a chain of restaurants such as Taters, Fruitfull Smoothies and Juices, Mismukuno Teppanyaki, Café Racer, Sushi Boy, Lantaw, and Moon Café.
“We have chosen to implement SAP Business One to boost productivity, business visibility and profitability. More importantly, this implementation is in line with company’s vision to grow and expand the business both in Cebu and around the country in the next five to ten years,” said John Pages, executive vice president of PHI.
AGS, a business management solutions provider in the Philippines and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ePLDT, is the implementation partner for SAP Business One.
Dave de Leon, chief operating officer of AGS, said the ongoing implementation is a reminder of the company’s continuous efforts to empower success-driven enterprises in the Philippines and help them become more successful.
Pages said the food and beverage industry is a highly dynamic industry that requires the company to adapt to changing customer tastes and service preferences.
“We chose SAP Business One because we needed a more comprehensive system that will help us seamlessly run operations so that we can focus more on serving our customers better,” Pages said.
With SAP Business One, a business management software specifically made for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across all industries, PHI expects to have quicker access to accurate financial and operational reports for informed decisions.
Meanwhile, SAP recently announced the launch of the SAP Leonardo Center Singapore to help customers, partners, and the broader ecosystem of universities and start-ups across the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region to deliver faster innovation with less risk.
The launch expands SAP’s innovation footprint in the region, adding to the three Innovation Centers and four SAP Labs in APJ. Globally, SAP spent €3,352M on research and development in 2017.
The SAP Leonardo Center Singapore is the fifth in the global network of SAP Leonardo Centers. It is designed to serve as the “front-end” for APJ customers and partners to accelerate their digital innovation journeys using the capabilities of SAP Leonardo and Design Thinking.
SAP Leonardo brings together Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning, Blockchain, Big Data, Analytics and Data Intelligence on SAP Cloud Platform. It also applies SAP’s leading technology capabilities and deep knowledge of 25 industries, in a live technology-delivery environment to deliver the “Intelligent Enterprise” for every customer.
The SAP Leonardo Center Singapore also serves as a hub for SAP’s broader digital technology ecosystem including universities, startups, tech communities and accelerators.

The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies ( CIMSS ) at the University of Wisconsin – Madison has developed the Objective Dvorak Technique ( ODT ) . This is a modified version of the Dvorak technique which uses computer algorithms rather than subjective human interpretation to arrive at a CI number . This is generally not implemented for tropical depressions or weak tropical storms . The China Meteorological Agency ( CMA ) is expected to start using the standard 1984 version of Dvorak in the near future . The Indian Meteorological Department ( IMD ) prefers using visible satellite imagery over infrared imagery due to a perceived high bias in estimates derived from infrared imagery during the early morning hours of convective maximum . The Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) uses the infrared version of Dvorak over the visible imagery version . Hong Kong Observatory and JMA continue to utilize Dvorak after tropical cyclone landfall . Various centers hold on to the maximum current intensity for 6 – 12 hours , though this rule is broken when rapid weakening is obvious .

Sorry for skipping over the FFIV single and the Rockman Rock Arrange album, we should have those tomorrow or the next day. "Guilty Gear 2 Overture" is on the Xbox 360 and is more like a strategy game than a fighting game, and it's 3D...not sure what they were thinking, but here is the first volume of the soundtrack!
MASA and friends are back with the newest entry in the "Shin Sangokumusou" ("Dynasty Warriors") franchise. Me likey.
"A2" is the sequel to "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance" on the Nintendo DS. Along with new music, this album features arrangements from "FFTA" and "FFXII". Music and arragement are by Hitoshi Sakimoto, with his other Basiscape pals helping. A note here, the liners do not say who arranged what, and I did not feel like putting Basiscapes entire staff in the tags, so it is all under Hitoshi Sakimoto. Blame yourself or Square Enix. Another note, I didn't muddle the filenames/tags with "from FFXII "Uematsu's Bitter Tears", so if you want to know whats from what, it is all in the NFO file.
I usually like to pack in at least another album, so the bonus today is a newer rip of the rare "Secret of Evermore" soundtrack, featuring arrangements and original music by Jeremy Soule!
(Ugh, this is what happens when I don't have cover scans provided, I'll update the FFTA-2 one later.)
Brass Quintet fell through the cracks last month, but here it is, better late than never, I guess. "UT3" features music by Rom Di Prisco and Jesper Kyd, and also features some remixes of classic UT tunes. Now when are those "Kane & Lynch" and "Assassin's Creed" soundtracks coming...
Five Records brings us a deluxe version of Kenji Ito's "Culdcept II", remastered and featuring never before seen tracks as well as a few arranged tracks. "Sengoku Basara 2 Eiyuu Gaiden (HEROES)" is an upgraded version of last year's "Sengoku Basara 2", for the PS2 and Wii...music is again by the folks at T's Music, look out for the game this week (in Japan)! |

Please summarize the author's experience at BBC Dallas hosted by the SITS girls and the sponsors who were present at the event. Answer according to: This past weekend I was so lucky as to get to go to BBC Dallas put on by the SITS girls! I had a wonderful time representing the RHOK and learned so much, I can't even write about it in one post!
First, the sponsors Petit Jean Meats, Kings Hawaiian, Kroger, & Mirassou Winery just to name a few, were so kind and generous! They hosted lively parties and I found a new wine to love. Mirassou Moscato is absolutely devine and didn't break me out in hives. This is revolutionary, people. Most alcoholic beverages started breaking me out a couple of years ago! It's an evil, evil trick played by my body.
Anyway, while that's really important and all- I did learn other things I need to pass along to my girls, and to our readers. So, I'm going to write about one or two subjects a time so as not to overload y'all.
I got to meet so many people I only knew online. And others I am lucky to know now. This part alone was worth going! I really want to suggest that everyone find and plan to attend a blog conference. I had no idea what I was missing all this time. I also highly recommend joining the SITS girls community, ASAP.
Me and @mamakatslosinit, a funny lady I've known on twitter for awhile, but got to meet IRL! She was a speaker.
I was also lucky to "know" Tiffany Romero via twitter & she was instrumental in getting me to the conference so we could meet. Fran- the other lovely SITS lady is great too. SITS is such a great community & you can learn so much there. *Tiffany and Fran are the grand masterminds behind it all.* There were many great speakers and they covered a variety of topics...I am going to share, don't worry.
But first, my assignment for you now is to go to the SITS site, and learn all about it if you don't already know. Then next time I'll meet you back here for something a little meatier. Deal? Good. |

Taiwan, quoted by Lonely Planet, within the borders of this small, sweet potato-shaped island with barely 23 Million populations lies the contrasts and melange of cultural influences that you will not likely to find anywhere else on the planet.
This will be the most interesting trip that I've longed to visit and missed twice of previous scheduled trip due to several reasons.
This sampler is modified to accommodate my mom's need after I have encouraged her to take on the trip with me and I'm really excited to see how it turns out for her.
I'm worried she is neither a backpacker nor she is a frequent traveler, definitely not used to the plenty of walking and talking with strangers although she has been swamped by some of my thrilling backpacking stories over the years.
It's the first time having a travel partner, I'm going to stay positive we will quickly love Taiwan and settle down at the home of the world's warmest people.
And the best part is, we can communicate in Chinese - Mandarin, Hokkien, Hakka, English, bring it on man! Language is the most underlying advantage that a Malaysian has, it's incredible isn't it!
The fact is, there's not much information about Taiwan and not many books written in English about it too but that doesn't mean Taiwan isn't the favourite travel destination of the many travelers.
As I dig deeper into what they have to offer, Taiwan is such a spectacular travel destination for magnificent cultural exploration. Old towns and streets in city easily existed for centuries!
Besides their deeply rooted cultures, they have the best food! For decades, Taiwanese focus so much on the packaging the food look incredibly nice in any part of the country, and the food are given such a detail highlight you can find them in every single Chinese written travel book!
The suggested trip length is about eleven days, I originally have a 14 days circle the island itinerary but it's unlikely to happen, first because my mom could really use some relaxing schedule and second is the time limitation.
I have a start up coming up real soon, the launch should be on early April shortly after I'm back from the trip.
Hence, this is going to be slightly more loosen up trip, a slow start sampler, it's more practical for most of the travelers to take on the balance of cultural experiencing, more relaxing time for the details.
Taiwan is typically presenting an average temperature of 22 Celsius all year round, there's no severe cold in winder and no brutal summer heat according to Travel China Guide.
Many travel guides including Wikitravel have mentioned that the best time to travel Taiwan is on the month of October and November.
Autumn (Sept - Nov) is seen to be good traveling time to many as the conditions tend to be warm and dry and prices lower, while, Spring (March - May) can be clear and dry, or wet.
Summer (June-August) is usually a great time to visit the east coast, especially the outdoor activities at the beaches.
Many think that traveling during Chinese NewYear is a bad decision but it is at this time you will be able to experience the Chinese's biggest festive celebration, the rates are likely to double and shops are shut down the first few days.
This sample plan covers most of the travel hotspots in Taipei in 3 days, I'm spending 2 days in Jiufen to take an easy walk at the older quarter before traveling to Wulai, another old quarter with remarkable scenery.
After Wulai, a more hectic schedule to Taichung, I'm going to stay in Taichung for the local's favourite Fengjia night market, a lot of half day trips to nearby towns at Lugang, Dajia, Fongyuan and Sinshe for a good mixed of travel experience for instance the flower farms, century old temples and towns.
Last destination will be the incredible Alishan, we will spend our last 2 nights to relax at the hilltop before heading back to Taoyuan International Airport on the last day of our trip.
Travelers who love Tainan or Kaohsiung can spend the last 2 days in the city while I have to skip them this round and come back another time.
Those of you who want to go for Taiwan's biggest musical fest, Spring Scream, in Kenting around this time, I've included its information at the end of the blog.
This map has most of my travel destinations, there are places I have to skip due to lack of time, I'll continue to update this map as I'm sure I'll discover another great number of interesting places to visit in the process of studying more about Taiwan before making the trip.
Taipei's night life is one of the main attraction and it's highly recommended to spend the weekend in Taipei and visit one of these clubs.
I've gone through a few video clips and Taipei is thought having plenty of awesome pubs and clubs that can be found all over the city.
One of the many things I want to do is to visit Spring Scream 春天呐喊, in short, 春呐 (Chun-na), a once a year epic adventure of art and audio aspiration that hits the island in Kenting.
An amazing and widely known, one of the largest international music festival in Taiwan with over 200 domestic and global bands performing over the course of 4 days festival.
It just gotten bigger and bigger with so much emphasis on music and sound. And it's happening on 4-8 April 2012.
I just hope I can make it this trip, entrance fee is only NT$1,500/USD30. Yeah, bikinis and hot chicks!
Ahhh...how I wish to stay longer at Jiu Fen back then. Is a peaceful village located within the hills. Neway,have a pleasant trip with your mom.
Hey Andrew, your trip sounded and looked lovely. I'm looking to travel through taiwan with my parents too. I was wondering how did you travel from region to region. For example Juifeng to Taichung to Alishan, etc. Was it by train, bus, or...?
Medical care costs in Malaysia can be quite costly especially at private clinics and hospitals. A number of Maldivians living in Malaysia have incurred huge expenses on account of medical bills. It is advisable to take insurance cover to protect you and your family against an unforeseen sudden financial burden while you are overseas.
Taking comprehensive insurance cover for personal accidents and hospital and surgical insurance is important. However, if you find this to be financially burdensome, you can opt to take a medical insurance package that provides cover for at least a minimum of surgical and hospitalization expenses which would cover hospital room and board and surgical fees. |
Here is a piece of text: The game room in the 17,728-square-foot home includes a two-lane bowling alley, a Skee-Ball arcade game, a Claw-Machine grabber game, air hockey, pinball machines, a racing-car and motorcycle game system, golf simulator, a racquetball court, movie theater and full concession stand.
A 17,728-square-foot Delray Beach home that’s perfect for kids — or the kid in all of us — recently hit the market, priced at $8.25 million. The home has a spectacularly equipped 6,000-square-foot game room.
The room features a two-lane bowling alley, a Skee-Ball arcade game, a Claw-Machine grabber game, air hockey, pinball machines, a racing-car and motorcycle game system, golf simulator, a racquetball court, movie theater and full concession stand. There’s also a game machine with 200 classic games from the 1980s and 1990s, including Pac-Man.
The owners spent over $2 million to construct the game room, according to Senada Adzem, executive director of sales at Douglas Elliman Real Estate in Boca Raton, the listing agent for the home.
The estate, at 16141 Quiet Visa Circle, is in Stone Creek Ranch, a gated community off Lyons Road in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The community is particularly popular with high-level business executives because it offers privacy and security, as well as easy access to shopping, restaurants, entertainment and private schools, Adzem said.
“People feel like they can have the home of their dreams, but they’re really secure,” Adzem said. “They also like the fact that it’s not a golf-course community.”Other features of the estate include four bedrooms, five full and one half baths, an office, custom gym, wine room and living room with a floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace. Outside, there’s a pool with waterfall and full summer kitchen, not to mention 300 feet of lake frontage.
The house, which also has four garages, is one-story — unusual for such a large home in South Florida, Adzem said.
Completed in 2017, the property is owned by Leslie and Beth Melamed, who paid $1.05 million for the 2.5-acre lot in December 2015 and subsequently built the home. They are relocating to the Wellington area to be closer to the equestrian community there, Adzem said.
Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: What motivated the owners to spend over $2 million to construct the game room? |

Queen Anne Style Sofa Table - A sofa cover may add life to your damaged and old item of furniture that you would need to replace. Using a modern print or to shield a new sofa to prevent deterioration, one also can update an older sofa. Using any of these covers to re-decorate a room can also be a fantastic choice. By only changing the appearance of your sofa, the entire room can be given a ride.
A sofa cover could be customized to fit a sofa or may be a loose fitting cover and is located in a variety of materials and designs. Ordinarily, one that's tailor made can be somewhat pricey. It will be likely to discover these covers at a variety of sellers and different retailers. There are dwelling goods stores that will offer them, along with specialty and linen stores. Online retailers often will carry them as well, and it's also not unusual to be able to see them at department stores either.
There are multiple locations where you can select on one one of those covers. Deciding where to buy one for your home could be decided by doing only a little research to compare customer satisfaction and costs. One that's just made from a light stuff can be bought from a nearby discount warehouse store, though a more complex fitted sofa cover will probably be located at a specialty retailer or at a high-end department store.
The price of a cover mostly depends on a few variables. The stuff will affect the price, as will whether or not it is fitted. A tailored one will function as the priciest type of to purchase, which is due to the quantity of effort and time put into the task by the designer and company making the sofa cover. But, the last product is a tight-fitting cover to your sofa or couch that will be totally indistinguishable from your actual covering, even to you. |

Additionally, reflect on how the experience impacted you personally, emotionally, and spiritually, and explain what you learned about yourself and nature during this journey. |

VFX artists wanted for micro-budget sci-fi short. Synopsis: This pseudo-documentary follows the appearance of children with supernatural abilities in some of the worlds most challenging countries. Set primarily in Sri-Lanka we learn how society has reacted to these children and the uncertainty around their future in Sri Lankan society. Part sci-fi, part political allegory, the film builds to a climax that will change the world stage forever. The film has picture lock. The VFX shots require a talented junior VFX artist looking to improve their reel and require experience in one or more of the following: matchmoving, roto, 3D object creation/compositing, and use of particle systems. A preview version of the edit is available for viewing.
I’m an experienced matchmove artist and I’m looking to add to my reel I can take on the matchmove portion. Maybe even help with some of the modeling and comp depending on what needs to be done. You can contact me via email at koleski.b@gmail.com
I can provide you with some recent shots I worked on if needed. I don’t have a properly edited reel atm.

Hi, my name is Streelight im new GFX Artist on VideoHive *** I know that it looks strange but i cant’ understand how to make those video placeholders ?
Do i need to make new composition for every video and place it in the Folder like " Insert your video here " ?
Could i Use my videos that i purchased online for just Preview Video and than delete it and leave just empty compositions ?
Welcome to the hive. Simply just make a comp for each placeholder then organize into a folder structure that’s easy for the buyer to understand, then add your own vids for the final render.
I delete my content before I upload, just make sure you leave some solids etc. that are easily replaceable for the customer.
Then, customer is instructed just to replace those jpeg files by right clicking on file - replace footage.

While most types of temnospondyls are distinguished on the basis of features in mature specimens , several are known from juvenile and larval specimens . Metamorphosis is seen in dissorophoids , eryopids , and zatrachydids , with aquatic larvae developing into adults capable of living on land . Several types of dissorophoids do not fully metamorphose , but retain features of juveniles such as gills and small body size in what is known as neoteny . Dvinosaurians and the plagiosaurid Gerrothorax were also neotenic because they retained gills , but they are only known from adult specimens .

In many companies (especially the traditional major ones) design still happens as an afterthought without clear connection to the overall business strategy. For design to be effective, it needs to be a product of the business goals, the customer needs and the organization’s capabilities (both in terms of technology and organizational fit). E.g. depending on whether a company is competing on cost or unique differentiators, an effective design of a product might greatly differ. Great companies are able to create a strategy where core elements are reinforced by a large number of supporting aspects – often enabling broad success of the strategy in the first place (e.g. low service price competing products relying heavily on excellent self service offers).
The extent to which design is allowed to be part of the overall business strategy can be expressed in terms of the role it plays in the company. Mr. Quattlebaum distinguishes several degrees of integration with the lowest regarding design as a necessary process step of product development without clear goals and no success metrics up to where design is a core competency supporting and informing the overall business strategy (of which a good example would be Apple Inc.).
Increasing the role of design in your company can only be achieved as a gradual process, as stakeholder buy-in is crucial for your success. Growing design from a cost function to a core competency with strong roots in the overall business strategy takes some serious change management. Focus on quick wins generating immediate business value and (hopefully) positive business attention. Moving beyond quick wins, effective communication of your vision is critical to gain traction with stakeholders from all parts of your organization and beyond.
(Much to my own experience,) companies often lack a clear alignment between customer and business value. Increasing your alignment to the needs of your customer can be a great business opportunity (albeit this might challenge part of your business goals). In order to assess what customer value means in the case of specific offerings, a company has to go beyond pure market research and strive for insights into the mental model of customers (their needs, feelings and behaviors). Such insights are generated by design (aka user) research methods like contextual interviews, diaries, user tests etc. (see second day of the workshop). Based on these insights a company can formulate experience principles that inform the design and facilitate a consistent user experience across products and channels. A potential pitfall for pitching cross channel service strategies is the absence of management responsible for promoting cross channel performance in traditionally organized companies.
Efficient creation of compelling products acknowledges the uncertainties of product development. A focus on validated learning and rigorous prioritization help to both minimize risk and accelerate time to market leading to the strategy of minimum viable products (minimum features) and services (minimum touchpoints). Another way of thinking of MVP/MSP is as a platform approach to product design enabling quick incremental evolution and at its best a continuous stream of customer delights (called “The Long Wow” by Adaptive Path’s Brandon Schauer).
While execution should be driven by short feedback cycles, maintaining a consistent strategy requires a long-term vision (characterized as a “North Star”) in the form of road maps and product evolution maps that resonate with the stakeholders and (hopefully) rally them behind a common goal.
Design research (aka “User Research”) plays an important role in all phases of the design (and implementation) process. Among other things, it informs the design strategy, identifies innovation opportunities, generates insights into contexts of usage and provides vital verification for concrete designs.
Design research is not the same as market research, since they differ both in focus and purpose of their research. That said, data from market research can support in planning design research efforts.
Careful stakeholder management is critical for the success of design research efforts. From pitching for the initial go ahead to presenting the final research results, a wide range of stakeholders has to be bought into the effort. Some crucial points are:
Understand the wider context of the research effort (including the role of important stakeholders and the goals of the project)
During all steps of the effort, keep the research objectives closely aligned with the actual project goals- Aim for true insights and understanding
Identify and achieve buy-in of subject matter experts- Recruit key stakeholders as “witnesses” of the research effort; they will later serve as “champions” of your findings, if your methods or your results are doubted
Apart from basic advice about recruiting and research methodology, I found the following tips to be of particular interest to me:
“Triangulation”: Quantitative and qualitative research can be combined to strengthen identified insights
Guerrilla research in coffee shops – produce quick (preliminary) insights at your local barista: Three researchers work together with one interviewing, one taking notes and one asking people in the waiting queue to participate in the interviews offering free coffee and cake in return (remark: this only works with a Starbucks-style serving process).
Method “Process Sketching”: Let users draw and narrate the events of a recent experience on a swim lane diagram of the anticipated touch points; can later be further annotated with post-its; can be used as a basis for Journey (aka Experience) maps
Method “Picture Cards”: Let people select from a provided set of picture cards and words and let them arrange and annotate in a way they see fit to tell a story about the research topics. A sample introduction could be “We have some pictures and words here, which ones are resonating with your daily work routine?” This method is especially useful for gaining insight into the attitudes and feelings of people. It can inform the design and help in creating Personas. Frequent usage can be facilitated by a core set of cards, which is customized for specific tasks.
The AEIOU framework is a good starting point for clustering your observations. Although you might want to extend it with additional aspects to allow for coding of – among others – emotions, goals and sequence of events (time).
The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web and Beyond, Jesse James Garret, book
Effective service design needs to start from a customer’s point of view (aka outside-in perspective) and has to take into account all aspects of the service experience. When (or if) taking the customer’s view, most organizations tend to focus their efforts on specific parts of the service journey (a single channel, product or touchpoint), while the customer experiences the service as the sum of all steps and circumstances of the experience. Thus, customers frequently are confused, affronted or even scared.
A well designed service is an orchestrated effort of all parts of the organization(s) providing a consistent and seamless service experience. Dealing with service experience requires a much broader view than the term “user experience” which is usually associated with a single touchpoint or product.
Because of its broad scope, effective design of complex services means a fundamental mind shift ultimately leading to strategic changes in the organization and processes of an enterprise. Quite a bit of careful change management might be in order to disrupt silos and alter established processes. In the end, it is the people who have to drive the change, so small gradual steps might be a better fit than an attempt at revolution.
Apart from improvements for the customer and the benefits this can have for the company in itself (increase in retention and sales volume), effective service design also leads to process harmonization (potentially eradicating inefficiencies) and to higher motivated and more productive staff. This is where traditional management consulting and service design need to go hand in hand to create a system which satisfies the needs of customer and staff as much as the goals of the business. Needless to say, such a system integrating previously unrelated parts of the company will constitute challenges for the IT department.
Territory Mapping collects and visualizes all elements of the (existing) service. Think of people, places, products, services, artifacts and technologies involved. This is a good starting point for your service design endeavor. It serves as first glimpse at the system’s complexity and can be used for discussion with team and stakeholders refining it along the way.
Service Storming – Another method which can be used upfront before detailed research takes place (or later during service prototyping) is service storming: During a workshop with stakeholders the participants are divided into small groups and asked to create the story of an ideal service journey they are to enact for the other groups. Defining a journey should take 10 minutes, allow another 20 minutes for rehearsing, then every group gets 2 minutes to act out (transitions from one touchpoint to another are “instant”). Presenting a service journey “on stage” is a much more personal experience than mere discussions. Emotions, creativity and bonding of the stakeholders will all be spurred by the exercise.
Journey (aka Experience) Maps document a service journey in its different stages (time & place) regarding all associated aspects (people, actions, emotions, needs, …).
Service Blueprint is a diagram method to represent a flow of service interactions not only on the customer facing side but also including all operational aspects of the interaction steps. They are used for verification, planning and implementation of services.
I also attended the 4th day of the workshop and found that it too was very worthwhile. But since interaction design is not my focus and for the sake of time management I decided to skip a detailed recap of this day.
This article is summing up my personal impressions from Mobilism 2012 with a focus on overarching themes and ideas. Disclosure: I am currently working for a German carrier. I will leave out any topics directly related to carrier business and strategies. Carrier bashing was a frequent theme during the conference.
Coming from the late visionary Steve Jobs this term might still sound like a fancy to some, but during the talks and discussions of Mobilism 2012, the common feeling was that it is here already. With smartphones and tablets, a new class of personal general purpose devices is on the rise, which is disrupting the way we use information technology (and devices in general). Traditional PCs might not go away but they cease to be the dominant device.
We are still adapting to this brutally quick development and nobody knows where exactly we are heading. Established pundits and incumbent market players are still getting to grips with the fundamental changes that are taking place. Many still follow strategies and mental models that have been clearly invalidated by recent development.
Since 2009 Google has advocated the MVP pattern as the preferred architecture for large scale GWT applications. With GWT 2.1 Google introduced the concept of “Activity” and “Place” (borrowing from the Android UI framework). Apart from providing a standard way for history management, it can be elegantly combined with GWT UI components to form an MVP architecture with easy device-dependent views making it a great starting point for mobile web development.
While I found the framework to be very powerful, it also has put quite a strain on my ability to memorize classes and their relationships. In the end – since I found no good rendition in the Internet – I ended up creating my own diagram of the MVP frameworks’s main classes around the concepts of “Activity”, “View” and “Place”.
These are the people who do not see the point in attempting to manage the complexity of crosscutting concerns. They value the costs and risks of bloated, repetitive code as non-critical for their project success. When you have a big team of not so top-notch developers and you need only to care about short-term performance (say getting out a first release), this is a perfectly viable strategy (with known downsides). Of course, many times you find yourself in such a situation, even if you do care.
Today, I finally published minuteTools. Apache Maven and my ever busy daylife job have done their share to prevent me from setting up the project website. It is a very meagre start with only a few classes. But as they say: “Release early, release often!”
The submodule minuteTest does some handy things for unit test developers. minuteAspects presents the results of my personal ventures into AOP.
What to write in a first post? – You are posting just for the heck of it. You think of all the things still to be done. But this not the time (1:17 am) for the About page. So live (and hopefully sleep) to see another day. – Stay tuned!
