When many Christians take a long, hard look at the lives of the spiritual elite in America, they want to shout, 'I don't want to be like that!' Ron DeMiglio knows how they feel and he's not afraid to do the shouting — even when those shouts are sometimes directed at himself.
Coffee, the World, and Jesus is a collection of mildly contrarian musings from this international coffee businessman who happens to love Jesus. In these humorous vignettes about the relational, flawed, unwavering faith Ron clings to, you’ll find glimmers of your own daily struggles to reflect Christ in a fallen world. For the religiously cautious, the disillusioned and jaded followers of Christianity, this is a refreshing look at how God reveals Himself to be so much bigger than politics, dogmas, or western influences.

Achromat II 5mm - Hi-Stands webshop!
Achromat is the natural progression from the original acrylic interface invented by Arthur Khoubesserian back in 1979.
Refining the theory he subsequently launched Achromat in 2005.
Ongoing refinements in composition and application means that Achromatis now more universal and better than ever.
The stylus accelerates at up to 20,000g. This means your groove wall is not so much caressed but more akin to being pummelled by a road hammer creating travelling shock waves.
energy reflected from the bottom of the record (a mere 2mm thick) is sensed by the stylus and heard as colouration.
Can we prevent his reflection?
Achromat is the ideal material to absorb energy from the record. There is no better.
But it is only 3-5mm thick and this is where the science kicks in.
Millions of tiny bubbles within create complex pathways and that's where the energy gets lost as heat.
In this way, Achromat acts like a considerably thicker mat. Its job is complete.
No other mat is like it and all it takes is a simple A-B comparison to demonstrate the differences against other supports.
Longer term listening allows subtle nuances as well as greater bass intelligibility to be appreciated.
No wonder Achromat is the World's top selling mat.
Achromat 5mm: This is the standard recommended thickness.
In tests the 5mm consistently betters the 3mm mat.
So wherever possible go for the 5mm.
Achromat 3mm: Why the 3mm, then?
- Arms with no VTA (Rega) are awkward to adjust. They are commonly found on decks with felt mats about 3mm thick.
-Decks with short spindles where 5mm would cause problems.
Note: When "tnt" reviewed Achromat they concluded that the benefits of the thicker mat outweighed the benefits of the thinner mat with a clamp!
Incredible as it sounds, a £70 Achromat really does benefit every kind of turntable from the most modest to truly exotic creations costing £10,000 and upwards.
Ik heb door de jaren heen verschillende matten gebruikt en eerlijk gezegd; meestal denk je een verschil te horen maar zeker weten... Dus ligt er al tijden de oorspronkelijke 5mm rubbermat op mijn Denon Dp60. Na verschillende lovende woorden over deze mat heb ik er toch maar eens één aangeschaft en hier hoor je echt wel een enorme verbetering!! De bas is mooier, intenser, duidelijker eindigend, het midden is helderder en je hoort nieuwe dingen, soms zelfs boventonen in een gitaar of zo. En veel dynamischer. De investering meer dan waard.
Mooie opwaardering voor je draaitafel. Laag midden en hoog klinken voller, meer gedefinieerd en ruimtelijker. Geen idee dat een draaitafelmat zo veel verschil kan maken. Het geld daarom meer dan waard. Compliment voor de goede afhandeling van de bestelling, alles keurig verzorgd en aangetekend verstuurd via postnl.

Recent changes to UK practice have introduced a new, low-cost opportunity for third parties potentially to seek revocation of competitors’ UK and European(UK) patents using the UK Intellectual Property Office’s (UKIPO) opinions service and to obtain non-binding opinions on the validity and infringement of designs. In this bulletin, we set out a brief overview of the opinions service offered by the UKIPO and how it may be useful to patent and designs owners as well as third parties.
Any party may request an opinion on the validity of a UK patent or a European(UK) patent. If desired, the request may be filed on behalf of the party wishing to obtain the opinion without naming that party (i.e. filed by a straw man to protect the identity of the party ultimately behind the request).
The opinion is restricted only to the novelty and inventive step of the patent.
A request for an opinion must be filed with a written statement setting out any arguments and evidence relating to the novelty and/or inventive step of the patent. For example, an earlier published document may be submitted as evidence and arguments may be put forward to question the novelty and/or inventive step of the patent in view of that document. An official fee (currently £200) must also be paid to the UKIPO for the service.
A validity opinion will normally be issued by the UKIPO within three months of the request and should provide a reasoned and firm view in answer to the question set out in the request. Thus, the opinion should clearly indicate if the patent is considered to be valid or invalid.
The opinion is non-binding, but with recent changes to UK patent law, brought about by the Intellectual Property Bill, the UKIPO now has the power to revoke a patent for which an opinion of invalidity has been issued.
In practice, it is now extremely unlikely that a patent owner, faced with the prospect of revocation, will request a validity opinion on their own patent. However, the patent validity opinion service offered by the UKIPO now represents a low-cost and potentially very powerful option for third parties seeking revocation of a competitor’s patent.
As with validity opinions, any party may request an opinion on infringement of a UK patent or a European patent (UK). If desired, the request may be filed on behalf of the party wishing to obtain the opinion without naming that party (i.e. filed by a straw man in order to protect the identity of the party ultimately behind the request).
A request for an opinion on infringement should be filed with a description of the potentially infringing product or process. An official fee (currently £200) must also be paid to the UKIPO for the service.
An opinion on infringement will normally be issued by the UKIPO within three months of the request and should set out a reasoned and firm view. Thus, the opinion should clearly indicate if the product or process is considered to infringe the patent, or if it is considered not to infringe the patent.
The opinion is non-binding and is intended to provide parties with some low-cost, impartial guidance on infringement issues, without committing them to a subsequent course of action. The opinion may be a useful tool in negotiations and may help parties to resolve actual or potential disputes, or help to guide parties in deciding what further action they may wish to take (e.g. initiating court proceedings for infringement, ceasing to perform a potentially infringing act etc).
The patent infringement opinion service offered by the UKIPO may therefore be attractive to patent holders and potential patent infringers alike.
The UKIPO will also be introducing an opinions service for designs validity and designs infringement. This service is likely to have many similarities with the patent opinion services and will apply to both registered and unregistered designs.
The designs validity opinions and infringement opinions will be non-binding and it is hoped that the service will assist in helping parties to avoid or resolve disputes concerns designs, or help to guide parties in deciding what further action they may wish to take.
A date has not yet been set for implementation of the designs opinion services and it is thought that they may not be available until late 2015.

Child: "Can I have ice cream for dinner?"
Parent: "Because ice cream isn’t good for you."
Parent: "Because it has no nutritional value."
Parent: "Umm … I guess because its makers wanted to make sure it was tasty."
Parent: "So, they could sell more of it."
If you’re a parent, you know this scene all too well. And if you’re an honest parent, you know that at times all those incessant questions can be downright annoying.
But you also know that asking those questions is a critical part of the child’s developmental process. Children have no built-in knowledge base, so asking questions – and getting answers – is the way in which they begin to make sense of the world around them.
It’s similar to great selling, actually – minus the “annoying” part.
Great salespeople always ask the extra question. They know that the more knowledge they can gather about the customer’s situation, the better they can serve him or her.
It’s not enough, though, to just fire away with question after question. Great salespeople listen – really listen – to the answers their customers give.
That may sound simple, but if you’ve ever watched a locker room interview after a big game, you’ll see how often people who are paid to ask questions – sportswriters – fail to do this.
Locker room interviews don’t always produce thoughtful questions.
We exaggerate here to make a point. But often writers are so intent on getting through their list of questions (and getting back to the press box to file a story before deadline) that they fail to listen to answers that, if they followed up on them, would give them a much better story.
What’s the Customer Really Saying?
Let’s say you’re trying to win a deal with a borrower for a $3,000,000 commercial real estate loan. But the borrower says he’s planning to go with a competitor bank that’s offering a rate that’s 50 basis points lower.
Some bankers throw up their hands right then. The deal doesn’t meet their target so, then, oh well.
Perhaps then you find out how, exactly, the competitor bank is offering such a low rate. Maybe it’s because part of the loan is guaranteed. That could be the end of the story. But the great banker channels his inner annoying child and asks about the guarantee: Who’s providing it? What are the details?
In this hypothetical scenario, the guarantor is the borrower’s father-in-law. Again, this could be the end of the line. But the great banker – unlike the mediocre sportswriter – is listening to the answer, and he detects that the borrower is less than thrilled at the prospect of “owing one” to his father-in-law. So, the great banker asks more questions and finds out that the borrower would be more than willing to cut a few months off the length of the loan if it means he can get the same low rate and not have to rely on his father-in-law’s guarantee.
By asking questions and listening to the answers, the great banker has gathered enough information to turn the tables and win another deal for his bank.
With this approach, the only people truly annoyed are the bankers working for the competition.

Stanford, U.S. A: In a major technological breakthrough, researchers of Stanford University have developed a new artificial intelligence, AI algorithm that can reliably screen chest X-rays for multiple types of diseases.
The algorithm named CheXNeXt is the first to simultaneously evaluate X-rays for a multitude of possible maladies and return results that are consistent with the readings of radiologists.
The study revealed that scientists trained the algorithm to detect 14 different pathologies. For 10 diseases, the algorithm performed just as well as radiologists; for three, it underperformed compared with radiologists; and for one, the algorithm outdid the experts.
In a similar study published in a research paper on Cornell University’s online distribution system for research, arXiv.org, Speciality Medical Dialogues has reported that Artificial intelligence with deep learning algorithm trained on a large quantity of labelled data can accurately detect abnormalities on Chest x-ray.
The research team is working on a subsequent version of CheXNeXt that will bring the researchers even closer to in-clinic testing.

Is Coffee or Caffeine Addictive? Why Coffee or Caffeine Become Addictive: Millions of the world drink coffee, most people of them, who drink a cup or two in the morning are much less probably to feel drained if they miss their fix next day. But people who drink 4 to 10 cups a day may crash and burn without their coffee. Why is that? Is the causes caffeine consumption? Coffee contains a huge amount of caffeine. The more coffee you consume the nastier you turns into. You can have the shakes, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, or insomnia from drinking too much caffeine what’s it about espresso that makes people over devour it?
It can be the stimulation one receives you realise that burst of quick energy that coffee gives you once you awaken. A cup of coffee has been known as a cup of desire. It seems to encourage people to start their day. Can it be an addiction? Usually addiction is defined as if one believes that he or she is addicted to something with no real basis, so they become addicted.
Here the article defines that why and when does coffee become addictive?
Caffeine may turn into physically addictive that’s because regular, sustained caffeine drinking can lead to varying in the chemistry of your brain. Drinking coffee often creates positive feelings, which encourage you to replicate the behaviour.
In turn, the higher amount of receptors requires you to consume a higher amount of caffeine to achieve the same caffeine fix. Regular coffee drinkers build up a patience over time.
As daily caffeine consumption makes a physical addiction, the act of regularly drinking coffee may endorse a behavioural addiction. This can produce strong feelings of tiredness and is thought to be the main reason behind the caffeine withdrawal symptoms that often arise from going cold fiasco. However, it’s currently uncertain how long it takes for these changes to happen.

Heard the one about the two "frozen Euro MEPs?" Well, after winning through a long and ruinously expensive election campaign, they found the seats they had won didn't exist after all.
The nearest thing to a consolation prize on offer may amount to being put into "cold storage". In simple English, it all means that when, and if ever, the United Kingdom really does depart the European Union, then they may eventually get to the European parliament. Welcome to another sidebar consequence of the rolling Brexit fiasco. But let's quickly explain.
When UK voters opted in June 2016 to leave, the EU authorities had to look again at how European parliament seat allocations reflected the population proportions. We could be here for a while battering through the complex details of that work.
But let's keep things simple. It was decided that 46 of the UK's 73 Euro seats would be put on the back burner, pending more new member states joining in fullness of time. The remaining 27 seats were re-allocated, with Ireland gaining two and going from 11 to 13.
But Ireland was not the only state to gain seats. The full extra seat allocation looks like this: France (+5), Spain (+5), Italy (+3), Netherlands (+3), Ireland (+2), Sweden (+1), Austria (+1), Denmark (+1), Finland (+1), Slovakia (+1), Croatia (+1), Estonia (+1), Poland (+1) and Romania (+1).
But now it's clear the UK will not leave before the Euro elections in the last weekend of May. EU law says if the UK is still a member state it must hold these elections, generating a sizeable Brexit row within a row. And it's another one London has lost - there will very probably be UK European parliament elections on Thursday, May 23, illogical as that may seem.
But the big upshot for Ireland's European parliament elections - due on Friday, June 24 - is that those two would-be extra seats are seriously in doubt. And the complications do not stop there. The two extra ones were allocated one apiece to the Dublin constituency, bringing it to four seats, and South (an amalgam of Munster and south Leinster), bringing it to five seats.
Ideally, you would advise Euro hopefuls to avoid being last elected. But those already in the race know that only too well.
It seems in practice that the final winners in Dublin and South will be in a strange place. They must await the final departure of the UK, which could take quite some time, and depend on the charitable view of their new almost Euro MEP colleagues, to decide if they are to be paid, get any right of audience, and/or other resources like staff and constituency expenses.
Political veterans know they cannot expect too much public sympathy if they find themselves in that Euro limbo. But the reality is that these elections are very expensive and many serious candidates pony up very large sums, sometimes in the region of €100,000, to win.
More attentive readers will by now be ahead of me: there will very likely be law arising from this. The kind of litigation which could go all the way to the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg. And there may be more cases than Irish ones.
Seasoned politicians are already identifying Irish anomalies: the constituency boundaries were specifically drawn based on 13 Irish seats. Also, under proportional representation, the quota calculation is in large part based on the number of seats in the constituency.
On that basis, would there have to be two separate counts in South and Dublin, based on two different quotas?

Use a generous amount of gel, ensuring there are no air bubbles in the gel. If you run out of gel, any water-based lubricant can be used.
A comfortably full bladder can help with making your baby’s heartbeat easier to find.
You will probably find the heartbeat easier if you are lying flat.
The baby is normally positioned a lot lower than you might think.
Start by placing the probe at or just above the pubic hair line, then tilt the unit slowly.
Think of the probe as a torch. Imagine you are trying to illuminate the heart. By tilting the probe you are shining its beam into different areas. Take it slow and be patient. You can easily pass over the heartbeat if you move or tilt the probe too quickly.
Try not to slide the probe across the skin, just tilt it at different angles and if you do want to try a new location lift the probe off and reapply it a the new spot. This will prevent a built up of background static.
The fetal heartbeat is easily distinguished by its much faster beat (around 140-180 bpm) which is about twice as fast as the mother’s heartbeat.
Try listening to your own heartbeat with the Doppler. You can record this to comfort your baby after it is born. It will also help you to distinguish your much slower pulse from the galloping rate of your baby.
Sometimes you will hear a ‘far off dog barking’ type sound at around 150 bpm. This is more likely to be the umbilical cord which is higher pitched but whose pulse is very similar to your baby’s heartbeat.
The placenta can be heard as a swishing “wind through the trees” or occasionally a swooshing “water on the beach” sound.
If you cannot locate the heartbeat, try having a drink, snack or going for a walk as this may encourage your baby to change positions.
It is important to note that the Doppler, when used at home by non-medical persons, is not intended to assist or replace recommended antenatal care. Please refer to your medical practitioner if you have any questions or concerns regarding your pregnancy.

I just finished a four-day walk with my husband, Luke, and other walkers on the east coast of Tasmania. We started in the Mt William National Park, walking to Forester Beach Camp where we stayed on our first night before continuing down the coast, along several beautiful pristine beaches to the southern section of the Bay of Fires where we stayed in a lodge for the next two nights.
The Bay of Fires was named in 1773 by Captain Tobias Furneaux, an English navigator in Captain Cooks' second voyage expedition who saw many camp fires on the shore, which he believed was an indication that the country was densely populated. In fact, Tasmania was inhabited by many Aboriginal tribes at the time whose families, culture and traditions and culture were severely impacted and in many places, devastated by the settlers who subsequently came to live on the island.

A SUMMER neighborhood Caribbean Festival is interrupted by a spray of gunfire, sending crowds scrambling for cover. City police and emergency vehicles rush to the scene. Nine people are injured.
This incident, the result of the attempted robbery of a gold chain necklace, happened Saturday in the city neighborhood of Dorchester. Gangs may have been involved; one arrest has been made.
The shooting is one reason why gun-control advocates here are pushing hard for a stiff gun-possession law in Boston. The legislation, called a home-rule petition, would ban anyone under 21 from owning a firearm. It would also make it a crime to sell a gun to anyone under 21.
``This home-rule petition ... would give police an additional tool to legitimately stop and investigate people who objectively appear to be under the age of 21 and carrying a firearm,'' says Suffolk County District Attorney Ralph Martin II.
Thirteen states and Washington, D.C., have enacted similar laws, says Deahdra Butler-Henderson, president of Citizens For Safety, a city crime-watch group.
For Boston, the home-rule petition would increase penalties for the possession or sale of handguns. Fines would be raised to $1,000 and jail terms increased to up to 2-1/2 years.
The measure can become law only if is it passed by both houses of the Massachusetts legislature and signed by the governor. Gun-control advocates say, however, that there is little opposition and expect it to be signed within a month.
City Councilor David Scondras, a co-sponsor of the measure, says 20 young people in Boston have died since January. Half of those individuals were shot by someone under 21, he says. Even Bay State Gov. William Weld (R), who traditionally opposes gun control, says he will sign it.
Gun-control advocates, like Ms. Butler-Henderson, are pleased by the bipartisan support. Her group sponsors an initiative, Buy Back Boston, that buys back guns. The program - begun in June by Citizens For Safety, the Boston Police department, and the district attorney's office - will buy back any gun for $50. So far, it has cleared 1,050 guns off the city's streets, she says.

Having grown from a family-owned company, we foster values such as obligation, an appreciative approach and flat hierarchies as well as gratitude, continuity and fairness. Simultaneously, we offer a sophisticated field of activities with high levels of flexibility within our pan-European corporate network. We place high value on character and on people who assume responsibility.
Our employees embody the tradition and future of our company and are the foundation of our success in the market. We are proud to work with everyone who wishes to continue shaping our future.
... are a family-owned company with a history spanning almost 100 years.
OQEMA – a family company for almost 100 years – maintains long-standing relationships with customers, employees and suppliers and represents quality, safety and development within the European market.
… are active across Europe and provide our employees with an intercultural work environment.
OQEMA is a German company active in 18 countries across Europe. Our employees work together with people from almost every European country on a daily basis. They are also entitled to work at another location, if desired.
To ensure that our employees work with confidence, OQEMA places high value on technical expertise and on the suitability of new colleagues within already established teams. This is also the reason why we have so many long-term employees. We also support our workforce in its development and support their careers. We are one of those companies that needn't be left in order to further a career.
Flexible working time models enable OQEMA employees to shape their work time according to specific tasks and their personal situation. This improves the efficiency in a work climate that is organised in an increasingly project-related way and also enables the compatibility of family and profession. Forms of work such as home office enable work times to be adapted according to own needs.
Our employees are our greatest potential. For this reason we specifically support individual responsibility and initiative and also sharpen the awareness for quality and safety. We can and wish to use the strengths of our employees. On the other hand we intentionally tolerate weaknesses. It might perhaps be somewhat old-fashioned to state this and it might also be misunderstood. What do we aim for in this? To be aware that you don’t win every day. We wish to establish a basis for continuous well-being and ‘demanding with a sense of what’s appropriate’. OQEMA enables its employees to think and speak freely, both among themselves and with their supervisors. Unpleasant situations can be discussed and contradictions can and should be accepted in this regard.
On the one hand we attempt to maintain the strengths of a medium-sized company and on the other we target an international level of expertise and continue to develop across the European market.

De aanslagen van 11 september 2001 waren lang van tevoren voorbereid. In 1997 maakte een Spaanse Syriër in opdracht van Al-Qaida uitgebreide video-opnames van de Twin Towers van het New Yorkse WTC. Die band werd begin 1998 door een speciale koerier naar Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan gebracht.
Na de aanslagen van 11 september zijn er rake klappen uitgedeeld aan Al-Qaida, het terreurnetwerk van Osama bin Laden. Maar Al-Qaida is zeker niet dood of ernstig verzwakt. Bin Laden laat nog steeds van zich horen en ook na ’11 september’ pleegde Al-Qaida aanslagen in Djerba, Casablanca en, in 2004, in Madrid. In Irak speelt Al-Qaida handig in op de chaos die na de interventie van Amerikanen en Britten is achtergelaten. Al-Qaida is nu weliswaar minder hecht en centraal georganiseerd, maar daarom niet minder gevaarlijk.
Ook in Nederland en België zijn Algerijnse en Marokkaanse terreurnetwerken (GSPC, GICM, Takfir wal Hijra, Salafistische Jihad) actief. Deze hebben veelal connecties met Al-Qaida of sympathiseren daar sterk mee. Ze rekruteren jongeren in moskeeën en via internet.
Hoewel Al-Qaida niet achter de moord op Theo van Gogh zat, was de dader – Mohammed B. uit Amsterdam – wel lid van de zogenaamde ‘Hofstadgroep’. Dit terreurnetwerk stond in contact met leden van Al-Qaida elders in Europa, enkele leden van de Hofstadgroep kregen een speciale training in Pakistan van een met Al-Qaida verbonden groepering.
Al-Qaida instrueert leden en volgelingen om na arrestatie tijdens verhoren en rechtszaken alles te ontkennen. Een moslim hoeft zich van ‘ongelovige rechters’ niets aan te trekken omdat hij alleen te maken heeft met het ‘goddelijke recht’.
Al-Qaeda conducted extensive video reconnaissance of the WTC Twin Towers in New York. This was done by a Syrian migrant in Spain who was an associate of Al-Qaida’s top man in Spain, Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas. The video cassettes were later delivered to Osama bin Laden by his special courier.
Two important members of al-Qaeda, Ramzi Binalshibh and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, played a keyrole in preparing the September 11 attacks. They were arrested later and interrogated in the United States. Some of their statements, however, served to protect other Al-Qaeda members, like Mounir Al-Motassadeq, a suspected member of the Hamburg based Al-Qaeda cell led by Mohammed Atta. Binalshibh told his interrogators that Hamburg cell members initially did not intend to go to Afghanistan for training but wanted to go to Chechnya instead. He claimed that an accidental meeting in a train made them to change their minds. In fact, Binalshibh himself was highly instrumental in facilitating the trips to Afghanistan (see pages 115-117).
At his trial in Brussels, Al-Qaeda operative Nizar Trabelsi claimed that he planned a terrorist attack on the NATO base of Kleine Brögel in Belgium. The real target, however, was the American Embassy in Paris. It was bin Laden’s associate Abu Zubaydah who passed on his master’s order to bomb the Embassy in Paris to Jamal Beghal and Trabelsi when both were in Afghanistan. During the court trials in Brussels, Trabelsi sought to minimize the role of others who were or may have been involved (p. 59-60, p. 212-213).
Mohammed Atta and members of his Hamburg based Al-Qaeda cell espoused views similar to those of the Nazis. They believed in the total extermination of the Jews (p. 96).
Marwan Al-Shehhi, one of the September 11 suicide pilots, made a statement to a German Librarian in March 2000 – one and a half year before the terrorists struck. He claimed that there would be thousands of deaths in New York City resulting from an attack on the World Trade Center (p. 96).
There were contacts between between the so-called ‘Hofstadgroup,’ Holland’s homegrown terrorist network, and key members of Al-Qaeda in Spain and Italy. Samir Azzouz, a suspected member of the Hofstadgroup, was in touch, posssibly, with Rabei Osman El Sayed. The latter was arrested in Milan, Italy in June 2004. In secret conversations shortly before his arrest, Rabei Osman referred to somebody (or a group) who had just been released from prison and who planned new terrorist attacks. ‘But he is nervous, it will take time.’ He may have meant Samir Azzouz who, along with other Hofstadgroup members, had been released from prison in October 2003, and subsequently planned new terrorist attacks. He may also have referred to the released Hofstadgroup members. Rabei Osman further claimed that the March 11 attacks in Spain had been ‘my project.’ In addition, Samir Azzouz travelled to Spain where he contacted a Moroccan man called Akoudad (‘Nadufel’) . The same Akoudad was also linked to the terrorist attacks in Casablanca (p. 30-32. p. 140-141).
The terrorist attacks in Madrid were prepared well in advance by key members of Al-Qaida. Their main purpose was to topple the conservative government which was responsible for sending Spanish troops to Iraq, Al-Qaeda’s latest battleground.

SENTIENT visited the Field & Supply craft fair in Stone Ridge, NY over the weekend, and the goods on display in the natural canvas tents were what you'd expect from Brad Ford, who puts on the upstate event and also runs the showroom FAIR in the New York Design Center at 200 Lex: Minimal, handmade, high end designer objects in muted tones in an idyllic outdoorsy setting.
These Hand Felted Merino Wool rock cushions are just the type of whimsical design that both kids and sophisticated minimalist architects can agree upon. "Literal take on naturally modern design." as stated on the maker's website.
Ascari Bicycles are handmade in Williamsburg and sort of embody the 'New Brooklyn' aesthetic as well. Yes, some of the components are handmade in BK, but they are incredibly lavish and really put a utilitarian object into the stratosphere of European luxury goods. The bicycles mimic where Williamsburg's artsy roots came from: dudes with beards on bikes—to where it is not: Europeans and other wealthy expats moving into million dollar condos and demanding high end goods exclusive to the upper crust of society.
Handmade, environmentally-friendly cast iron products made in Syracuse, NY. Not only are the designs minimal and refreshing, but this small metalwork studio also uses recycled vegetable oil to fuel their furnace!
Upscale beachy brand had an awesome mobile store on view at the event. Think Pendleton … in fact, you should probably just go buy something from Pendleton—awesome display trailer though!
Knots have always fascinated me: the complicated ones have always eluded my clumsy fingers and remind me of trying to learn them in Boy Scouts, and frantically trying to help my father tie up his boat with sailor's knots. The Commons, btw, is an online retailer dealing in US-made goods.
No fall outdoors fair would be complete without cider, right? Finding Breezy Hill set up at Field & Supply was perfect, and having donuts for the ride back to Brooklyn was just the thing. This was not the cider you remember for childhood however: Breezy Hill makes several upscale, hand crafted, bottle-conditioned brews that are more for the connoisseur.
Christopher Kurtz flipped the script—instead of having a tent with a booth showing his handcrafted furniture, he made an interactive statement that was probably a godsend for the parents who brought the kids to the fair.
Field & Supply's upstate vibe wouldn't be complete without a communal fire pit, outfitted with Adirondack Chairs to add a touch of class.
Man, oh man. Outdated Cafe's owners are living out one of my dreams: to have a little storefront coffee shop where I can sell (hoard) my vintage wares. They had an outdoor display which replicated the unique Kingston, NY cafe.
My eyes sort of glaze over when I'm confronted with nice woodwork furniture these days, however Michael James Moran has some interesting twists in many of his pieces.

We spent 28 hours on research, videography, and editing, to review the top options for this wiki. With today’s selection of portable travel curling irons, there is no reason why space constraints should force you to go without, whether you’re jetting around the globe or just visiting family across town. We’ve included models for light styling as well as those that will have you rocking some serious spirals. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to support our work. Skip to the best travel curling iron on Amazon.
The MHU 1-Inch Professional Portable is a dual-voltage straightener with a gently rounded barrel, so you can also use it to create loose, flowing curls. It’s got three heat settings, with the highest going up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit for truly stubborn tresses.
Perhaps the 6th Sense 2-in-1 Mini's best feature is not the curler itself, although it's fine as a styling tool. The greatest part might be the case, which is heat resistant, so when you’re rushing to catch a flight, you won’t have to wait for the device to cool down.
The Plugged In Stow 'N Go doesn’t offer tons of extras, but that’s okay, because it’s got everything you could need from a compact, trip-ready model, including dual voltage, so that you can use it virtually anywhere, and a space-saving design.
The diminutive Vivid & Vogue 2 in 1 is just over 8 inches long, with a nearly 6-foot power cord that swivels, so you won’t get tangled up while taming your mane. It operates as both a curler and a straightener, reaching a maximum temp of 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
You won’t have to worry about damaging hot spots with the Conair Travel Smart, which has a ceramic coated, 1-inch barrel that was made to heat evenly. In fact, it works so well that many prefer it as a daily go-to, rather than only for trips.
With its auto-shutoff and easy-to-set temperature controls, the Phoebe Hot Hair Curler Brush is not just a portable choice, but a safe one. It’s also versatile, since you can use it as a regular brush, a gentle straightener, or a traditional curler.
If you need some serious styling capabilities while you’re on the go, then the HSI Professional Travel Set could be right up your alley. It features mini versions of your most crucial tools, including a hair dryer, a flat iron, and a curling iron. There’s even a diffuser.
For truly tight, twisty locks, this Herstyler Baby Curls is a strong choice. It’s light enough so that you can pop it in your bag, and the bright pink handle is eye-catching, which could potentially help prevent you from leaving it behind.

Nokia expects Brazil to keep on moving up the ranking of its biggest markets, Bloomberg reported today. The country already became the Finnish mobile phone maker’s sixth biggest market, this year, climbing three positions.
Although Brazil has been less affected by the crisis, Nokia doesn’t expect the country to be fully spared, as it’s “not isolated” from the economic turmoil in Europe and in the US. Inflation could also become a concern, and in this context “the Brazilian retail market isnʼt so optimistic for Christmas,” said Narcizo.
As a matter of fact, Nokiaʼs sales in Latin America declined 6.8% to 531 million euros in the third quarter, according to the company (see our post about Nokia’s Q3 results).
Still, this fall is much more limited than in Europe, and Nokia is putting big hopes in the market. Nokia had sales of 1.51 billion euros ($2.05 billion) in Brazil in 2010. Sales increased in the first half of 2011 and should be the same as in 2010 during the second half of the year, according to the company’s forecast.
Brazil’s mobile market is huge – the country has more cell phones than inhabitants. It is also growing fast and Internet-connected phones are increasingly common. Millions of Brazilians have recently joined the ‘new middle class’, whose emergence is disrupting the country. Still, Apple products remain a luxury in Brazil, which represents an opportunity for a company like Nokia.
Beyond Brazil, emerging markets have become more and more of a priority for Nokia, which recently released a new phone line to cater to this audience (see our post ‘Nokia introduces Asha, a new line of aspirational phones for emerging markets‘).
Do you think BRICs can help Nokia get back on track? Let us know in the comments.

Wellington-based researchers from Otago University studied more than 240,000 births across the country, from 2008 to 2012.
They included babies only where there was no fetal, neonatal or other abnormality, and recorded whether the mothers were first registered with a midwife, or an obstetrician or family doctor in the role of lead maternity carer.
They found a lower chance of problems when there was doctor-led care, rather than midwife-led care.
Doctor-led care resulted in a 55 percent lower chance of oxygen deprivation during delivery, a 39 percent lower chance of neonatal encephalopathy - which can result in brain injury - and a 48 percent lower chance of a low Apgar score, indicating an unwell baby.
Lead researcher Ellie Wernham, a midwife training to be a doctor, said they were important findings.
"And an adverse outcome in maternity has got such serious consequences that if there's any chance of improving rates of these outcomes then we need to work towards that."
However Ms Wernham said researchers did not know what was driving the difference.
"It could be anything from the level of funding around maternity care, resources, level of collaboration between doctors and midwives, the way we triage mothers, the level of training of midwives and postgraduate support, the referral process during delivery."
The study, published in PLOS Medicine, is the first look at what effect midwife-led care has had since New Zealand moved 26 years ago from family doctors managing most births to midwives being in charge.
Researchers said the results may raise questions about safety aspects of the model, but overall safety in New Zealand was similar to Britain and Australia.
The findings follow controversial research last year from Otago University's Women's Health Research Centre, showing babies were more likely to die at birth, or soon after, if the midwife was in her first year on the job.
Dr Lawton said the latest research needed to be followed up - but without blame.
"This is about systems within our maternity care, and we need to examine them, improve them, so that we can get better outcomes for our mothers and babies."
She said changes that may be needed included requiring first-year midwives to work at a district health board for two years before working with pregnant women in the community.
The university's pro-vice-chancellor of health sciences, Peter Crampton, said action was required.
"This research doesn't tell us exactly what we need to do next in terms of making things better. What it does tell us is that we need to work really hard at understanding these outcomes and understanding what we can do to improve the system."
The Ministry of Health said the findings were unexpected, but were being taken seriously and required further investigations.
Principal maternity advisor Bronwen Pelvin said the study was being referred to the National Maternity Monitoring Group for advice on whether further research needed to be undertaken.

1. Use your small saw to cut corks and wood balsa blocks in half (or thirds, depending on the shape you want). You will need about 40 cork halves or 20 balsa block halves to create a design like the ones above. Sand the bottoms to remove any splinters and make them smooth.
2. Mix up a small batch of epoxy on a plastic yogurt lid or paper plate, following the instructions on the epoxy label. Use the chopstick to apply a small dab of epoxy on the bottom of the cork/balsa block/bead and stick the piece to the pot about 1″ to 1.5″ from the top rim. I eyeballed the placement for everything, but you could measure and map it out beforehand if you prefer a more perfect composition.
Note: I chose epoxy for this project because it creates an incredibly strong, durable bond — those pieces are NOT coming off once the glue has set. It’s also very tacky so you won’t have the pieces sliding around much as you are putting them on, but they are slightly repositionable for about a minute, so if you make a mistake you can adjust easily. If pieces do begin to slide, simply place a piece of tape over the piece to hold it in place while the glue sets.
3. Once you’ve added all the pieces, set the pot aside for the glue to set. Epoxy sets very quickly, so you should be able to paint these pieces within 15 minutes of gluing.
4. Place pots on a painting surface and cover with black paint. I added no water to the paint so I could achieve a very thick dry-brush effect. Let the coat of paint dry.
5. Once the coat of black paint is completely dry, go back over the whole piece with white paint. Again, I added no water and used a dry brush. Don’t feel you have to cover every inch of the pot, and you can use a paper towel to rub off the paint in some spots. This will add to the weathered, organic look, mimicking a rough glaze. Once you have covered the pot in white, set it aside to dry again.
6. Once the paint is dry, take the pots to a well-ventilated spot and cover with a coat of clear matte spray. This will protect your paint job from rubbing or wearing off when the pot gets wet.
7. Add plants, and you’re done!
What a fun project! They look very unique!
Wow! Looks great and a super simple thing to do- genius!
Totally genius!!! Great, great, great, the pots got character!
Was the black paint undercoat to even out the color? I’m assuming you must get a better effect than just applying two coats of white?
I did an undercoat of black so that when I brush on the white, I could rub off some spots and show a dark underneath, to give it a rough look. You could also do two coats of white if you wanted a solid clean white finish. Up to you!
Also, lovely project. They look great!
Great project! I’d like to try it with the balck undercoat and then a torquise blue, yellow or another bright color over the top. What do you think?
These are very cute, but there’s a potential problem with using unglazed clay pots for this project. I once painted a clay pot with acrylic paint, and because the unglazed clay is porous the paint bubbled up and peeled off from water that seeped through. I suggest that if you use an unglazed pot, you use it as a decorative outer container for a plant that is planted in a plastic or other non-porous container.
I love these, but think I would just paint mine black (without the white topcoat). What kind of paint did you use?
Love it- great xmas presents.
aaah!! this is SUCH a fantastic idea!! i’m getting on this immediately. thank you so much for posting!!
Love these different DIY techniques. Don’t see plants in pots like these everyday!!
A technique I haven’t seen before…great idea. And I think Green Key had a good point about using other pots inside them so the paint won’t be as likely to bubble off.
i love this idea…….. awesome!!
I know you mentioned you used epoxy so that the baubles would stay stuck, but would hot glue work too?
Can one also use a glue gun for this project?
Seriously so cool. I’m linking to this in tomorrow’s post – I couldn’t resist sharing with my readers!! Thanks!
Why did you paint them black first if you wanted them white? Why not 2 white coats?

The purpose of our team is to help our readers always stay aware of the latest news and trends in the world of lotteries. In particular, we are glad to offer a review of Canada Western Max, a lottery that we do believe is worth your attention. When preparing the review, we were trying to cover all the game-play aspects that might be important to an average player, especially as far as Canada Western Max results are concerned. Enjoy your reading!
Canada Western Max results are aired right after the drawings that take place in the headquarters of Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) in Winnipeg. At the moment, draws are held once a week. To be more precise, they are held on Friday, at 8.30 PM Mountain Time. The numbers are drawn using random number generator. In case you were curious, the first ever draw was held on March 2, 2013, or 6 years, 1 month and 20 days ago.
The currently applied format is as follows: 7 + 1 / 49. As you can see, players are to choose seven main Canada Western Max numbers from the range between 1 and 49 Canada Western Max numbers. Also, according to Western Max Lotto rules, one number is to be additionally picked up from the remaining 42 balls.
The overall winning chances, in turn, are 1 in 6.6.
The minimum cost of playing is CAD $2. An important thing to mention is that players have an opportunity to increase their winning odds using the lottery’s multiplier feature, namely Extra, that gives players a chance to additionally win up to CAD $250,000 per $1. Apart from this, there is an opportunity to play both Western Max and Lotto Max, which significantly increases chances to win. No add-on games are provided, however.
The lottery’s most often drawn numbers are 44, 46, 49, 10, 17, and 28. The cold, or the least frequent numbers are 16, 18, 19, 23, 24, and 37.
Keep in mind that Western Lotto Max jackpot can only be paid out as a lump sum. In case there are two or more jackpot winners, the prize is to be equally shared. As for prizes of other categories, amounts of up to $200 can be claimed at lottery retailers, while winnings between $200 and $1,000 are payable at either retailers (although they are not obliged to pay more than $200) or prize offices. If win more than $1,000, you are to call the operator and ask for further instructions. Apart from this, winning tickets can be sent by mail. A great thing is that Western Lotto Max winnings are tax free. One more thing to take into account is that all the prizes are to be claimed within one year from the day of the draw or otherwise the winning ticket expires, regardless of Canada Western Max results.

Take the stress out of holiday shopping by looking at top-pick lists, using phone apps and registering with loyalty programs.
Traveling, cooking large meals, planning and surviving holiday office parties and managing relatives – the holidays are stressful. Add in the time and money demands of holiday shopping, and you may be tempted to keep a therapist on speed dial.
While you may not be able to avoid difficult relatives or the annual end-of-year trip to a client you’d rather not see, it is possible to reduce holiday shopping stress.
With that in mind, here are three holiday shopping tips that are sure to help.
You have no idea where to start or what to buy: Kate Campbell, a former buyer for Dillard’s, suggests starting with a search of hot lists or top-pick lists. Campbell currently serves as the director of the Fashion Marketing & Management program at The Art Institute of Tampa, a branch of Miami International University of Art & Design. Whether it is toys, apparel or electronics, major retailers and brand-specific websites are publishing “hot holiday lists” and top picks for almost anything.
Blum adds that novelty gifts are also a great way to make an impact and a good place to start. She challenges shoppers to step away from the large retail stores and buy from privately owned businesses like local boutiques and mom and pop stores.
Looking to save time and money: If you’re constantly on the go and prefer to rely on some preliminary shopping via your cellphone or mobile tablet, many apps can make shopping a bit more organized and convenient.
“There are apps for apparel such as Wanelo and Wish, and major retailers or brands also have their own apps such as Pink Nation for Victoria’s Secret,” Campbell said.
Need to keep track of all your online purchases? There’s an app for that! The larger shipping services like UPS and FedEx have their own apps, but you can also try the Slice app or the Posted app depending on your needs. Campbell warns that shoppers should plan for extra time on their delivery schedule when purchasing online or via an app.
Blum recommends surfing products online for a cost difference from store prices. If you print out the shopping cart you intended to purchase, and bring it in store, the retailer will often honor the price savings. Knowing and shopping the promotions before you go to the store is a different way of couponing.
Want additional savings? Blum recommends the Amazon app for your smartphone. Just scan the in-store item’s barcode and the app will tell you if Amazon has the same item for less. She cautions that the Amazon app doesn’t work with generic brand items.
Complete your shopping in one place or in one day: Pick and choose where you think you may spend the majority of your holiday budget, and join the loyalty programs for coupons and reductions.
“Be choosy and make sure you register with the loyalty programs that will really deliver savings and unique purchases as opposed to spam mail,” Campbell said.
The key to holiday shopping is to avoid impulse buying. Make a list, and start early. Go online or ask your loved ones and friends about their hobbies. Stress relief and savings are the result of doing the homework. If you don’t, the worst will happen – you’ll force yourself to buy out of desperation.

The Syrian Democratic Forces say its will be at least two or three months before any residents are allowed to return to the city of Raqqa, over the threats of road mines and booby-traps left behind by Islamic State group militants.
The US-backed SDF declared victory over ISIS in its former “capital” last week, proclaming the northern Syrian city free of any extremist presence after weeks of fighting.
On Sunday, Russia accused the US-led coalition of bombing the city “off the face of the earth”.
As winter approaches, Raqqa’s new rulers face a race against time to make it habitable once again.
Most of the city has yet to be cleared. The bodies of IS fighters lay in the streets where they died a few days ago.
Drone footage filmed in the center of Raqqa on Saturday showed the extent of devastation caused by weeks of fighting between Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Islamic State group.
Entire neighbourhoods were turned to rubble with bombed-out houses standing as empty shells, burned out vehicles lining streets, and twisted metal and rubble covering the ground.
The fall of Raqqa marks a major defeat for IS, which has seen its territories steadily shrink since last year.
IS took over Raqqa, located on the Euphrates River, in January 2014, and transformed it into the epicentre of its brutal rule.

Launched in February 2004, Facebook is an online social media and social networking service company. It was initially intended for use by Harvard University students only (where Mark Zuckerberg was enrolled). By 2006 it was available to everyone over the age of 13. The company's name came from the face book directories given many new students at American universities.
Facebook held its initial public offering (IPO) in February 2012, and began selling stock to the public three months later, reaching an original peak market capitalization of $104 billion, a new record. The company makes most of its revenue from onscreen advertisements. As of 2017, Facebook has more than 2 billion monthly active users.
In September 2016 Facebook announced it had selected Los Lunas for a green data center project. Utah was New Mexico's primary competing state. This first announcement included one 500,000 square foot data center on the 330-acre campus. PNM will construct a 30-MW solar farm to provide electric power for the campus. Affordable Solar, in Albuquerque, was awarded the contract to build the solar panels for the farm. It will take a combination of wind and solar resources to meet Facebook's power demand.
By July 2017 Facebook was ready to commit to doubling the size of the first data center by constructing a second data center totaling 460,000 square feet.
Just two months later, Facebook announced it would fully build-out the campus with six massive data centers that represent a $1.5 billion investment. Each data center will have about 50 employees.
Diverse, plentiful energy sources. And a strong Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard.
NM's dry climate is ideal for air cooling racks of servers. No state has a lower afternoon relative humidity than New Mexico (National Climate Data Center).
8th Most Friendly Tax Climate (Kiplinger).
New Mexico's electricity prices are very competitive. The average industrial price for a kWh is 19% less than the U.S. average (EIA, 2017).

Marriage: How to Cultivate a Relationship That Will Last for a Lifetime The Bible defines marriage as a covenant between a man and a woman sanctioned by God (Ge. 2:24 NIV). As a young man I knew that a marriage could be a challenging prospect. My parents separated, remarried, and divorced again. This skewed my perception of marriage; I believed that marriage was just an archaic tradition that held little relevance in modern society. However, time passed, feelings changed and I found myself in the middle of three year relationship with my future wife. I remember family members explaining to me that the time had come to make up my mind concerning my future with her. They urged me to marry her, or let her go, so that someone else could and provide her with the family life she deserved. However, an older married couple that was mutual friends observed our fears and pledged to guide us if we chose to marry. Since then, I have gained a considerable amount of knowledge concerning marriage. This essay will discuss some of my understanding as I explain the importance of mutual spiritual commitment, adhering to shared moral values, and companionship.

He stayed for over two years, living self-sufficiently in a small cabin built with his own hands. Walden is his personal account of the experience, in which he documents the beauty and fulfilment to be found in the wilderness, and his philosophical and political motivations for rejecting the materialism which continues to define our modern world.

This summer, the School of Nursing welcomes its first palliative care fellows through an initiative funded by a $6.5 million grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust. Designed to serve as a national model, the Fuld Palliative Care Fellowship Program aims to develop nurse leaders to serve the growing number of Americans who face life-threatening and chronic illnesses at every stage of life. Fellows will immerse themselves fully in care initiatives, research, and policy development by working with clinical experts at the Emory Palliative Care Center.
The grant provides for the admission of two fellows to the school's Accelerated BSN/MSN program each year. The fellowship program targets second-career students who often have seen how chronic illnesses affect family members and friends.
"In health care, we're doing a great job of reducing sudden deaths from trauma. We've also improved infectious disease management. But as we age, it's chronic illness that we're prone to, which doesn't align with a health care system that is focused on dealing with acute illness," says Carolyn Clevenger 72MN DNP RN FAANP, director of the fellowship program. "We want fellows who are really passionate and have a drive to focus on palliative care for their careers."
Working with Clevenger are HIV/AIDS nursing researcher Marcia Holstad PhD FNP-BC FAANP FAAN, who will guide fellows on their research, and Tammie Quest MD, director of the Emory Palliative Care Center.
"Palliative care nurses are central to the success of our interdisciplinary clinical teams and the delivery of comprehensive care," says Quest, the Roxann Arnold Professor in Palliative Care Medicine."These fellows will be role models to others to ensure that patients and families facing serious illness have the highest quality care focused on quality of life."
To learn more about the Fuld Palliative Care Fellowship Program, contact Clevenger at 404-712-2394 or carolyn.clevenger@emory.edu.


text: ===NATIVE_FIRM and other titles=== NATIVE_FIRM and the whitelist were updated. NGWord and the NZone hotspots title were updated as well. Multiple NATIVE_FIRM vulnerabilities were fixed, this includes all known Process9 PXI-service code execution vulns at the time when the update was released. These were vulns in [[FIRM|Process9]] PXI services, the ARM11-kernel flaws which were fixed do not allow ARM11 kernel-mode code-execution. The system does not delete/block 3DS savegame haxx at all with this update, however the code execution haxx used by this was fixed. The system can now optionally load the [[NCCH#CXI|CXI]] logo from a cleartext region in the CXI instead of from ExeFS. NATIVE_FIRM versions prior to 5.0.0-11 can't access the logo data in applications built since 5.0.0-11. Therefore regardless of gamecard system-updates, applications built since 5.0.0-11 can only be run with the 5.0.0-11+ NATIVE_FIRM. Note that only home menu seems to use the NCCH logo data, system modules like [[NS]] don't use the logo data. A new command was added for [[Application_Manager_Services_PXI|AMPXI]].

AN 'infertile' couple went from having no children to FIVE in just two years – after adopting two boys and falling pregnant with triplets following IVF.
Mallory Jo Williams, 27, and Michael Williams, 30, from Pennsylvania, USA, felt like their dream of having a family was doomed, until their adoption agency gave them two young boys to care for, and their IVF attempt gave them healthy triplet girls.
Following two years of failing to conceive naturally, the couple were placed with Chase and Dylan in December 2016 while the boys’ biological mothers went through court proceedings to confirm whether they were fit to look after their sons.
Through the many court appearances and monitored visits, Mallory and Michael continued their IVF fight in July 2017 as Mallory had longed to carry her own children.
However, their fresh embryo transfer failed and so they were put on the list for a frozen embryo transfer, which took place in September 2017.
The frozen transfer was a success and Mallory and Michael were overjoyed at the possibility of extending their family, without realising they would be extending it by three more babies.
“I was able to control every aspect in my life until getting pregnant,” Mallory said.
“Michael and I had always wanted to adopt since we began dating, so when we had trouble getting pregnant we figured it was destiny that we should go down that path.
“We chose the ‘foster to adopt’ route because we thought it would be great to help children in our immediate area.
“We had to wait approximately six months for our first placement which felt like forever.
“We were very surprised however to get a call in the middle of the afternoon saying the family services would be dropping off an eight-month-old boy named Chase in a couple of hours. We were beyond excited and had to rush to make sure we had everything.
“This was a shelter call which meant we were a temporary shelter until Chase went to court 48 hours later. He ended up going back to his biological mother after which crushed us."
She continued: “Not even three days later we received a placement call for a six-week-old named Dylan. So, we went to visit him in hospital where he was detoxing from several substances and we fell in love with him instantly.
“As fate would have it, we got a call from the agency saying Chase’s court decision was overturned and he’d be re-entering the care system, so would we like to welcome him back? It was a unanimous yes.
“We were slightly overwhelmed to go from zero children to two in seven days.
Mallory and Michael didn’t give up hope on the possibility of carrying their own child, so after trying all the natural remedies they could, they agreed to do IVF. Mallory put aside her fear of needles and blood to go through with the process.
Tomorrow will mark the 40th birthday of Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby.
Louise was born at Oldham General Hospital on July 25, 1978 after her parents Lesley and John became the first people to successfully undergo IVF.
Mallory had 26 eggs retrieved, 13 of which were viable to use. So, initially they put in one of their seven embryos, which unfortunately wasn’t prosperous. Two months later, they agreed on putting two embryos in, figuring the most unlikely situation would be to have twins.
“Every month was so depressing when I got my period. I cut out caffeine and alcohol in the hope it would help,” added Mallory.
“I would feel really guilty that the one night out with my girlfriends would be the reason I wouldn’t get pregnant. I tried everything from natural herbs and vitamins, to asking my doctor for help.
“My doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with me or Michael, so we tried for three years before deciding to start IVF.
“We tried conceiving naturally from October 2014, and eventually tried IVF in July 2017, and finally got pregnant from a frozen embryo transfer in September 2017.
“We said so many times that we didn’t care how many we had, we just wanted to get pregnant. But I thought I’d miscarried the night before our first ultrasound and I cried all day.
“The doctor told me to take it easy, she didn’t think I was miscarrying, but I would find out the next day, so I was prepared for the worst.
“We were in the waiting room before seeing the doctor, who then told us it was triplets. All we could do was laugh.
“My doctor took me out of work at 20 weeks and I had appointments every week, and ultrasounds every other week. I made it to 35 weeks with no complications before my scheduled C-section.
After dreaming of a family for so many years, Mallory and Michael suddenly had their wish come true with five children under their roof. They officially adopted Dylan on June 29 and are currently finalising their adoption of Chase to complete their family.
A woman who was told she would NEVER have kids gives birth - just seven days after finding out she was pregnant.
And infertile women can now use facial recognition software to find lookalike egg donors.

Curious if anyone has an idea what type of snow coverage Boundary Peak has. Planning on climbing it in about 3 weeks from the Queen Mine Route. Any melting going on in the White Mountains...or are they still very white?
Still pretty white in the Whites. Saw a friend's pics of an attempted ski tour from last weekend and the storms this week have left some freshies up there. I'll be driving over Montgomery Pass this afternoon and again Monday so I'll be sure to take/post up some pics.
Anyone know current conditions on Boundary? Planning on the Queen Mine route in about a week. Any info appreciated!!
My friend Paul climbed it from Queen Mine (his pics are on Facebook though so i don't know if the album will work for you) and it looked pretty clear and benign. Watch the winds this weekend. If you stay more on the east side of the ridge you'll be sheltered a bit more. You might also consider the Trail Canyon approach for some more shelter from the gusts.

The money making bug can hit you at any age and there’s no time to waste when it comes to creating your first big bit of money.
I’ve put together a list of the largest growing online businesses that anyone with some drive and commitment can dominate.
Now I’m going to start this with my FAVORITE ideas first and then continue from there… Let’s get this started!
Example: Sites like amazon allow you to become an affiliate, once you sign up you get a special link for each of their products.
If someone clicks that link and buys within a month you get a % of what they spend on Amazon.
First, if you’re a complete beginner you should try this amazing course called Wealthy Affiliate, it’s free for the first 7 days and will teach you everything you need to know about affiliate marketing.
Only sell what you believe in. People can sense when you are being false and it never converts into profit.
Don’t try to promote things you or a close friend/family member doesn’t know about. Trust me, I’ve tried this and in the end I wasted hours just researching topics I didn’t care about.
So instead get a pad and pen, write your interests, I.E: Sports, Diet, Marketing, Facebook, Drinking, Etc… Then find products in them niches.
I mix all of these together for my BIG ideas but at the start I always jump in with YouTube.
I do a video review of the product I’m talking about, show it off, explain what it did for me, etc.
I then use my secret ranking recipe, promote it and get it to page one on Google and in YouTube for my chosen keyword (you can learn that method in this $12 course).
I put my affiliate link in the description, sit back and see if it converts.
But… That isn’t good enough. You see people are smart, they don’t like affiliate links so what I do is have a link to an email opt-in, I then say in the video ‘get my free quick how to guide’ and then once I get their email I can send them over the link and start promoting through emails.
EXTRA: The above sounds difficult but it’s really easy to do, just use Aweber and Optimize Press and if you don’t have a clue what you’re doing you can either message me or just use your affiliate link instead, it won’t convert as much but it’ll still work until you have enough to buy and learn about the software above.
Fast forward 3 weeks, if I’ve made a profit I setup a blog, a great theme is ultimate Azon, I then do some basic SEO and keyword research using Long Tail Pro, write some articles and release.
I connect it with the YouTube video and what I find is they both help each other generate more profit and traffic.
At this point I have a complete money making system and I usually let it sit and go and repeat this process all over again.
Sometimes, I’ll do social accounts if the niche calls for it and occasional I’ll promote links on there to build extra profit.
STOP: If that was too complicated please trust me when I say go and try Wealthy Affiliates it teaches you everything you need to know in a much simpler format.
Now this method is my favorite, it incorporates affiliate marketing and can be a lot of fun if you pick a niche you enjoy writing about.
First: I have a service, where I (Oli from 101geek) will make you a full running blog, with SEO, logo, domain, super hosting and my ultimate money making guide. Now I can only offer a few of these per month because they take a long time to create and come at a BARGAIN price, this is really just to help people who can’t afford to pay $1000 for a blog.
If you choose my service I’ll get it setup to work with this method as well.
PS: For limited time get $25 dollars off making it just $150 starting price by poping your email in here.
The best way is to create an affiliate blog and how I do this is I write down all the things I enjoy, then use Long Tail Pro to find great keywords and then go on Click Bank pick a product, buy it and test it.
After this I create a blog and I do some simple articles using the keywords I found on Long Tail Pro, usually Reviews, Top 10’s and How To articles.
Example: I create a fitness blog, I then find 5 products, diet, home fitness, at gym workout, womens fitness, creatine/protein supplement.
I can then create a wealth of reviews, how to’s, advice and list articles all based around these products, that way if I put money into SEO I know I can make it back in numerous different ways.
1. I always recommend looking for the best product and buying it, if you don’t have enough for 5 products, start with one and then once it’s earning money get another and so on.
2. Only have 5 – 10 products max, if you look at other bloggers you’ll see that they earn 80% of there income from a max of 5 products, so be direct, specific and don’t over promote to your audience.
We all love YouTube and I can beat that everyone reading this has at one point tried or at the very least thought about becoming YouTube famous.
I can also bet that it didn’t work and you ended up giving up? Or at least giving up hope?
Well I’ve spent the last few years studying YouTube, looking at what content works, how to rank it and how to generate crazy amounts of views.
Doing so I’ve learned ways to get YouTube videos on page one Google and YouTube within a matter of days.
I’ve also learned how to make crazy amounts of money without doing anything.
Now I’ve done a Youtube course that teaches you exactly how to get to get views, subscribers and rank everyone of your YouTube videos on page one. This course is quick and should only take 30 minutes to finish but it costs $12… This is down to me trying to lower how many people know this method as I want it to be as effective as it is now for ages.
You use the details in the course and then have two options you can create a channel like ‘fail army’ where you gather clips from around the internet and make compilations, this basically involves you doing no content creation and you can start right now.
Plus the videos generate thousands of views and when mixed with my course you’ll be AMAZED at how many views you can get in just a few days.
The next way is you use the content ideas I give you, create your own channel and make reviews, challenges, how to’s and advice videos and rank them.
Now this takes more work but when done with the right product can give you thousands of dollars income per month on autopilot.
Plus the content is yours and will be yours forever.
I’ve done a few articles on re-selling and I get asked all the time if it still works… And the answer is YES!
All you have to do is find a good service that’s cheap and reliable on a site like Fiverr and then re-sell it on your own blog or on another service site like Freelancer.
The easiest example of this is with logo design, all you do is go on fiverr, find 2 great logo designers, buy 5 – 10 logos, then setup a quick website (I can help you using my website service), add the logos you bought to your portfolio, then charge $15 per logo, promote the service on Facebook and use SEO to boost the site, plus other ad buying services.
Then once you get an order just go on Fiverr, buy from your seller, once done send to your client and voila! you’re making $10 from doing nothing.
You can hire someone online to send the logo to Fiverr and back to the person who bought your service after it’s complete for almost nothing, and this makes the whole service work on autopilot.
Make sure you get a designer who offers unlimited (or at least 5) revisions just in case your client is a little difficult.
Don’t just do logo’s you can use this method with any service, get creative and give it a try.
Right now people pay money for ‘piece of mind’.
…Whether it’s the fear of missing out on the latest Twitter or Facebook trend, or the fear that they’re doing something wrong and missing social media followers… It’s always safe to say there’s a big load of fear.
So if you’re a teen I have no doubt that you know how to use Facebook, Twitter, Google + and just about any other social network. I also have faith that you could learn any new platform if needs be.
So why don’t you sell your service? There’s plenty of older people who aren’t as net savy as you who’ll pay for peace of mind that they’re not missing out and for someone to take complete control.
A complete new social media look (cover and profile pic change).
You’ll take full control of their main social accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.
You’ll post 1 post on each per day.
You’ll keep them up-to-date on all the latest social media networks (so they can be the first to join).
You then say how this will boost their rankings on Google and help them dominate social media.
You can charge $50 – $300 per month depending how good you are at social (some people even charge thousands but that’s for people who know how to advertise on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube).
PS: For cover and profile picture design you can either use Fiverr or design them yourself (depending on your skill level).
Breakdown: You start selling this service for $150 per month, sign on 10 clients in your local area and you’ve just made your first $1500 bucks that renews every single month,from around 2 hours work per day (PS: this work can easily be delegated to someone else so you do nothing and earn the money on autopilot).
People do the same method talked about above but with SEO, now it’s a little more advanced and I wouldn’t recommend just anyone getting into it. But if you know how to get people ranking online there’s no reason why you can’t charge companies in your area $300 per month to get them Google Rankings ;).
I’m a big gamer and I’ve recently started looking into the most successful ways to make money gaming.
From blog creation, to game tournaments, to YouTube and even beta testing.
This is all covered in my FREE make money gaming course, it starts with 21 ways to earn a living gaming and then I go in detail and show you case studies and my exact methods.
Go and check it out if you’re a lover of games like me too.
I also teach you a way to get games at half the price on Xbox one, PS4 and Steam.
I’ve given you some of my favorite money making ideas that anyone any age can do (maybe late teens for the Social media service), now it’s your time to ask questions, research and start acting and creating your business.
Your age doesn’t matter, there’s plenty of people out there who make full-time incomes as teens online.
Now, I’ll be updating this list with loads more ideas as the weeks go on, right now I’m testing Surveys, gaming and tons of over ideas, so keep an eye out for the next big update on this article.
I hope you have an amazing day and if you have any questions please send them through.

A friend remembers in some German computer magazine interview with you that you left your phone number in some software and pirates rang to say how far they had hacked your code. Can you tell me a little more about this and how long it lasted? Did you ever find out who they were?
This is true. I wanted to test how effective the protection was, so I buried my telephone number in the heart of the encryption. I did receive a call from a German hacker several weeks after the game was released (I think the game was called R-Type on the Atari ST) very early one morning. I don’t remember receiving any other calls.
