If you are facing financial difficulty then it is unlikely that you are going to be able to afford the wedding of your dreams. Wedding’s these days cost thousands of Euros, and in this economic climate, that is something that most people do not have. A wedding loan is designed to help people who are in this situation. There are several benefits of a wedding loan, but it is important that you find the right one first before you go ahead with the application process.
Think carefully before taking out a large loan at a high interest rate. Whilst you may be able to pay for the wedding of your dreams with a loan like this, you are likely to spend the rest of your life paying it off. This is why it is important that you check out the lender before you go ahead and apply for a wedding loan with them. If you take a look at our lender reviews and ratings then you can see which ones are legitimate.
As mentioned above, there are several good things about this type of loan. There are a lot of legitimate lenders out there who will be able to give you a very good deal in terms of interest rates and repayment schedules. It all comes down to choosing the right lender.
Once you have set out everything that you need to buy then you will have more of an idea of roughly how much you will need to borrow. This will allow you to go ahead with your application and get the loan that you need.
So, you may be wondering what you need to think about before you go ahead and apply for a wedding loan. Well, first of all you need to write up a good plan. The reason for this is so that you can get a rough estimate of how much you will need for your big day. First of all, think about some of the most important things like the wedding dress, the bridesmaid’s dresses and the suits. Next you are going to have to think about things like transport and venues for the ceremony and the wedding reception. As you can imagine, these things alone can cost a fortune.
Once you have got the most important things out of the way you can think about other items that you might need. For example, you are going to want decorations such as flowers for the ceremony itself and balloons for the reception. You may also need to think about a DJ for the reception. Catering is a huge aspect of the reception, so this is another thing to think about.

business law services | | The Law Office of Wesley Scott Jones, P.C.
Forming a Corporation to start or operate a business in North Carolina can be beneficial to the business owners in two important ways: 1) it can help prevent the business owner from paying too much in federal and state income taxes and 2) it can help protect the business owners from incurring Personal Liability for acts carried out by the business.
So what are the main steps in forming a North Carolina Corporation?
You must select a Business Name and make sure that name is available for use in North Carolina.
You must file proper and complete Articles of Incorporation with the North Carolina Secretary of State.
Before filing the Articles of Incorporation, you must determine the number of shares the corporation will be authorized to issue (Issued Shares), the class of shares to be issued, who will serve as the Registered Agent, what will be the Registered Agent Address, and who will serve as the Incorporator.
After the Articles of Incorporation have been filed, must must hold an Organizational Meeting.
At the Organizational Meeting, you must elect Directors, appoint Officers, adopt a set of Bylaws, adopt a Corporate Seal, and issue Stock Certificates to the business owners (called Shareholders).
Before operating the business, you will want to apply for a Federal Identification Number (EIN Number) and State Identification Number for banking and tax purposes.
If you qualify and wish to be treated as an S-Corporation for tax purposes, you must complete and file IRS Form 2553.
Other Considerations: Should you file an Assumed Name Certificate? Do you need a Privilege License to operate your business? Do the business owners need a Shareholders Agreement? When should you file your first Annual Report with the North Carolina Secretary of State’s office? What Corporate Formalities should I follow to keep my corporation valid as a legal entity?
If you are planning to form a North Carolina Corporation, the foregoing topics are just a few that a business owner must successfully navigate through to begin operating a business. If you need help or advice, call an experienced Business Attorney. Call Wesley Scott Jones now at 910-256-5800 for a free telephone consultation.

The Parties will need a Bill of Sale and Assignment of Property.
The Buyer should determine if it needs to form a new Business Entity with which to buy the Seller’s assets.
The Buyer should consider whether it wants or need a Noncompetion Agreement with the Seller and/or the Seller’s Shareholders/Members, and/or Key Employees.
If Intellectual Property is involved, the parties will need an Assignment of Trademarks, Patents, and/or Copyrights, as applicable.
If the Seller’s website domain, email addresses, and/or telephone numbers are involved, the parties will need an Assignment Agreement to cover these items.
The parties will need an Assignment of Contracts, Leases, and/or Liabilities as applicable.
If the Buyer wants the Seller’s owners and/or Key Employees to assist Buyer with Buyer’s new business for a period of time after Closing, the Buyer will need an Employment/Consulting Agreement with these parties.
If the Buyer is not paying cash at Closing, the Seller will at a minimum want a Promissory Note signed by the Buyer, and a Seller should consider whether additional security is needed in the form of a Personal Guarantee Agreement signed by the Buyer’s individual Owners, a Security Agreement on transferred personal property, or a Deed of Trust on transferred Real Property.
The Buyer will want appropriate Approvals by the Seller’s Stockholders/Members and Board or Directors/Members.
The Seller will want appropriate Approvals by the Buyer’s Stockholders/Members and Board of Directors/Members.
If you are planning to Purchase the Assets of an existing business, the foregoing documents are just a few that a potential Buyer and Seller may want to include in an Asset Purchase Agreement.

If you need help, call an experienced Business Attorney for advice and help. Call Wesley Jones now at 910-256-5800 for a free telephone consultation.
If you are buying a new business, either by an Asset Purchase or Stock Purchase, you should consider whether you should require the Seller and its owners and affiliates to sign a Non-Compete Agreement.
When you buy an existing business, part of what you are buying is the established know-how and goodwill that the Seller has accumulated through the years that makes the business successful.
You will be making an enormous investment into this business so you probably want to make sure the Seller, to whom you just paid a lot of money, will not set up shop right across the street in competition with you.
Even if you are starting a new business or operating an existing business, you do not want Key Employees to steal your proprietary secrets and know-how that you have perfected over the years.
Way to often, employees will work for an employer for a number of years, acquire their customers lists, pricing guides, and other business operation methods, only to decide that they can do it better.
Why work for the owner when you can be the owner? Most businesses can benefit from have Key Employees sign a Non-Compete Agreement.
The terms of a Noncompetition Agreement will vary based upon your particular situation. However, all Noncompetition Agreements in North Carolina must be supported by adequate and New Consideration and they must be reasonable in scope as to Geographical and Time restrictions.
If you are Buying a New Business and want to protect yourself from the Seller competing directly against you and the new business OR if you have a New or Current Business where key employees have access to all of your proprietary business information, call an experienced lawyer to help you through the process. Call Wesley Jones now at 910-256-5800 for a free telephone consultation.

Simone Forti (*1935, Italy, USA) came of age in the 1950s and 1960s and developed out of two main influences: dance improvisation which she studied with Anna Halprin, and the legendary Judson Dance Theater that revolutionized modern dance in New York at a historical moment of dialogue between artists, musicians, poets and dancers. From her early minimalist dance-constructions, through her animal movement studies, land portraits and news animations, Forti has had a seminal influence on her field. For the past two decades she has been developing ‘Logomotion,’ an improvisational dance / narrative form.
Adopting the movements of various animals Simone Forti begins the performance by walking hypnotically in circles. She falls to the floor and begins a cycle of walking and crawling that becomes an open metaphor for evolution and aging. Through the course of the performance, the camera follows Forti’s circling motion at increasingly close range, creating an interactive dance between camera and performer. While ‘rustic’ in respect to the quality of the video image and sound, Solo No. 1 serves as an engaging document of Forti’s dedicated study of natural movement.

It took about 8 months to put this guide on best sleep mask together. We first started working on this guide back in 2016, and it was first published in early 2017. We’ve been updating it on bi-monthly basis ever since.
The results you are about to see are the fruit of over 4,400 work-hours, both testing the masks and statistical analysis of user satisfaction.
It did take a while, but we believe that we now have the most complete guide to choosing a good sleep eye mask based on your preference (sleeping position and purpose of use).
The “raw” list included over 120 masks. It was narrowed down to 32 by two of our team members (Bob & Ivan, the former a Material technology engineer and the latter a sleep therapist). The products were then tested both by our featured testes and our staff (6 of us).
We want to make a special point that we did not receive any free products from any of the companies that could potentially cloud our objectivity.
The bottom line is that the picks & their ratings in 5 quality categories are objective, completely independent and regularly updated with new data to keep the information presented fresh. With that out of the way, let’s get to the results and analysis of specific products.
A good eye sleep mask does the job, but a great one does it seamlessly…in a way that will make you forget you’re wearing one. We have to confess that this is not our line, it’s a paraphrase that we saw when researching for this guide.
The part that we’d like to stress is the comfort ratings as per the side-sleepers among our testing crowd – 94/100. This came as a surprise because when it’s a “no-Velcro” mask. This means that the straps are regulated by straps and clasps (think swimming glasses).
The difference is that the placement and extra padding of the straps make it a non-issue (see the stats below).
Who will choose the Sweet Slumber?
First things first – the Sweet Slumber is more expensive than most masks, and it might not be right for you if you are looking to save money when getting a mask. However, the difference in price fades compared to its superiority if you are a side sleeper.
About 2 months into testing we realized just how tricky choosing a good eye sleep mask for side sleepers is.
To be a good choice for a side-sleeper the “body” of the mask can’t be too rigid (like contoured models based on foam). Side sleepers reported that these masks tend to move as they turn, which beats the purpose. From the budget and value “angle,” the good news here is that this eliminated some much more expensive contoured masks.
Finally, the straps should be tight enough and designed in a way to keep the mask safely into place without being uncomfortable.
Within 4 months, one mask started emerging as the product that stroke the right balance – the Sweet Slumber.
Bottom line – The Sweet Slumber is, hand down, the best sleep mask for side-sleepers and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. The gap in side-sleeping rating is too big…it was significant when we first published the guide, and it just got bigger since.
Update: This Alaska Bear model was somewhat changed since we first tested and reviewed it, so we had to re-test (an unscheduled test, we typically re-test products once every 18 months).
The main change was the body of the mask getting a bit smaller. That increased its ratings for side sleeping from 92 to 93, lowered the “Light isolation” rating from 92 to 91.
The ratings for back sleepers remained the same.
Who will choose the Alaska Bear?
If you are a combo-sleeper (side and back) and if you’re looking to get a budget-friendly mask, this Alaska Bear might be right.
It might be worth mentioning that we found the Alaska Bear to be just as gentle to the skin as products that cost 3 or 4 times more.
It is THE most popular mask with thousands of user reviews on Amazon – you can see them below.
To be honest, we expected the Nidra to be one of our top picks for sleep because the light isolation is unparalleled – rated at 96/100.
But, it turned out that side sleepers found it a bit too rigid (which caused movement) and a significant % of back sleepers found the Velcro connections at the back to be too noticeable.
The two factors lowered Nidra’s ratings and put it below the ratings of the Sweet Slumber & Alaska Bear in 3 quality categories: Overall Comfort, Side-sleeping & Back-sleeping.
Who will choose the Nidra?
Too many of our testers (18%) found the Nidra’s contoured shape to be an issue for side sleeping for us to recommend it for side sleepers. It also might not be right for you if you’re a hot sleeper because the “sealing” is so tight that it can get warm under it.
On the other hand, the issue for back sleepers is not as significant if your pillow is on the softer side and can nullify the connections at the back.
With all that said – Nidra is our top choice for travel and naps. For these purposes the two points above are moot.
Another point worth making is that the Comfort rating includes eye pressure as one of the components and its another quality aspect where Nidra excelled. The design practically removes all pressure from the eyes.
Another sleep eye mask that seems to strike the right balance between materials, padding, light isolation and strap design is the Jersey Slumber.
Jersey Slumber mask is made using smooth silk on both sides, no Velcro on the back or sides of the head that would create pressures points. The slider that controls the size is just seamless enough not to be an issue for side sleepers and, since there is no connection in the back, it’s a good option for back sleepers.
The size of the mask itself is, according to our measurements, approximately 8.6 x 4.3 inches and 9/10 people didn’t even comment on the universal unisex size, which is always a good thing. No comments usually means that it wasn’t an issue.
This is a thin silk mask (both sides) and thin padding. What we’ve seen as the most common complaint with masks of this type is pressure exerted. The issue can range from it being slightly uncomfortable because it touches the eyelashes to the more “serious” complaints like direct pressure on the eyes.
This comes down to the balance between the tightness of the straps, the size range and the padding. It’s not something that can be precisely defined and the best we could do here is include a question about it in our questionnaire for the testers. Here are the results of that – 91% of people reported no eye-pressure issues, 6 % found it to be too tight and 3% reported that it’s too small and loose for a comfortable fit.
What’s important here is that we tried to find a correlation between the %s and for most of the people we did – it’s usually outliers in terms of head size. For about 1.7%, we couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause, so it’s probably the shape of the bones around the eyes.
The bottom line here is that 9/10 people did not find any issues with the sizing and eye pressure.
The Bedtime Bliss is not close to the “side-sleeping” ratings of the best sleep masks for side sleepers but it is one of the most popular eye masks and our pick as the runner-up in the category of the best sleep masks for travel.
The reason for the former could be pinpointed to the contoured shape and hefty padding that is likely to move when you sleep on your side. In this scenario, a side-sleeper will find it uncomfortable because of the pressure on the nose and the light coming in through the “cracks” of the displaced masks.
It’s primarily designed for travel and back-sleepers. The wide straps make for better pressure distribution and the “molded” contoured shape blocks practically all the light.
The minimal unisex design makes it one of the better options for men (especially the blue version). Women, on the other hand, liked the luxurious look of the purple and there were interviewees of both sexes who preferred the simple all-black (approximately 25% total).
We also found that “only” 17% of stomach-sleepers found them comfortable enough for stomach-sleeping. It’s the contoured combo of cotton and bamboo that will make them (in our opinion) uncomfortable for most people sleeping in the position.
Bottom line – a solid value for money option for back-sleepers and travelers of both sexes with a high light isolation rating (94/100).
It’s also worth mentioning that this Bedtime Bliss eye mask is one of the most popular products with over 10,000 user reviews on Amazon. You can see them all by following the links below.
Manta sleep mask is described by the company as “modular.” It refers to the fact that it’s somewhat more intricate design aimed at adjusting to the face of the user.
To put it differently – we found it comfortable going to bed or at the beginning of travel but we also see the movable parts as an issue for long-term comfort. The count of those experiences (in-house and our featured testers) was few too many to justify the higher price tag of the Manta mask.
Let’s take a moment to explain what Manta (the company) means when they say “modular” and adjustable.
The first thing that stands out are the velcroed eye “patches” that can be moved to adjust to the shape of your head and the distance between your eyes and forehead bones above the eyes.
It’s a nice idea but we found it to be more marketing-oriented than a substantial advantage over one-piece masks.
Bottom line – we like the Manta mask but, to be honest, if it were us we wouldn’t pay double or three times as much for it (compared to some of the other products on this list).
This classic from Earth Therapeutics has been in the 10 top-rated masks since we first published the guide and reviewed the sleep mask.
To put that into perspective, along with the Alaskan Bear, Earth Therapeutics is the only brand that had a “representative in the Top 10 at all times since we first published the guide. In the case of Earth Therapeutics, it was this mask.
At the moment, this Earth Therapeutics costs slightly more than most products listed here – hence the slightly lowered rating in the “value for money” category.
What we did is look at what’s available out there and separated the wheat from the chaff.
Besides Holly Golightly, you might this style described as “Breakfast At Tiffany’s Sleep Mask.” Don’t get confused by the wording; there is no official product, it’s all separate brands.
One of the simplest and yet effective ways to block that unwanted light would be to try the sleep mask. And the best thing is that your body will still be able to produce Melatonin, a hormone that helps your body to fall asleep naturally, and let your brain goes through all stages of the sleeping cycle. In spite of the fact that it’s natural substance, it’s still a hormone and you can take too much of it and see side effects – you can see our guide on Melatonin overdose here.
Should You an eye mask?
Before exploring any other means of combating insomnia or simply pursuing a better night of sleep, you’ll probably want to explore the environmental factors and the role they play in your habits.
So, it’s a lane that might be worth pursuing, whether on its own of combined with other less “aggressive” means of getting a better nights sleep. Combined with good sleep earplugs, a mask can offer as isolating experience as possible.
The main downside users tend to report is their head and eyes being pressured and hair issues, especially with female users. That’s one the factors we looked at when we compiled the list of top masks. This quality aspect comes down to balance between the strength of the straps, their width and the way how much of this pressure is “relieved” by the shape of the mask itself.
Can You Use It if You Are a Side-sleeper?
If you are a side-sleeper, you may wonder if you will be able to sleep with one of these sleeping products on your face… and the answer is – yes, you will! You should choose the one that is flexible, and not the one that digs into your face. Most side-sleepers prefer a more streamlined mask profile so that it does not move that easily during the night.
When they think of choosing the best sleep mask, most people think of the one they had gotten when they were on an international flight, or of the stylish one you can see in some ads or magazines. But, today, there are so many different varieties to choose from. Yes, you can still describe them as a strip of fabric that covers your eyes, but special features make them more wearable and effective.
Fabric (soft and breathable): There is a wide variety of materials to choose from. Silk, satin, polyester, cotton, bamboo, and some of them are even embedded with copper. Since it is going to be directly on your face, you should choose a soft and breathable material. If your skin easily gets irritated by certain materials and fabrics, you should pay some special attention to it.When it comes to flat ones, pure silk will probably be the best option, especially during hot summer nights. And if you are using the one with cavities, it should still be soft and light, but also firm enough for the cups to stay elevated during the sleep.
Strap (adjustable): To fit heads of all sizes and shapes, the strap should be adjustable. It usually adjusts via Velcro or a buckle. If you have a long hair, choose the one with buckled straps – they will not tangle in your hair.
Cavities (yes or no?): Cavities are recesses in a place where your eyes will be. That way your eyes, as well as your eyelashes, will not touch the material of the mask. You can open your eyes and just stare into the darkness. Many people find it soothing that their eyelids are gently pressed by a sleep mask, while others might find it irritating.
If you are among the ones who are irritated if anything touches their eyes, opt for the mask with cavities.But keep in mind that if you are sleeping on your stomach, you might not find it as comfortable as you would if you are sitting on a plane or a bus.
Weight (light): The lighter, the better. When wearing a sleep eye mask, you should have a feeling that you do not wear any at all. Try to find the one that weighs no more than 1½ ounces.
Maintenance (durable and machine washable): If you wear it often, you will definitely want to be able to wash it from time to time.
Noise reduction: Some masks are wide enough to cover your ears, but if you really want to block out the noise, you should choose a pair of sleep earplugs.
Scents: Since not everyone will like the same scent, you should try it and see if it works for you. But only if you are not prone to allergies.
A flat nose cutout or a molded nose bridge: You will find a flat nose cutout on all typical masks that are designed to fit almost anyone. But, there are also some with a molded nose bridge, designed to block out the light that may come from the bottom of the mask.
If you have a wider nose or you are missing a bridge, they are not the right option for you.
Gel masks: You can try them if you are having problems with puffy eyes. You can either place them in a fridge or warm water, depending on whether you want a cold or warm therapy.
How to Clean It Properly?
After wearing your mask, you should hand wash it with mild soap and water, to remove facial oils. Avoid using harsh cleansers that might damage it or leave some harmful residues. Also, you should always let it dry away from the direct sunlight. More detail information can be found in the user guide that always comes included.
It is also important that you know when you should replace it.
The information about the best sleep mask in a range of quality categories is updated on quarterly basis. The statistical analysis of newly available data is planned to keep the information relevant between re-tests (which are done once a year or once every 18-months).
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us by leaving a comment in the section below. You can expect a response within 24 hours. If we don’t know the answer to your question, we’ll find out and get back to you within.

As we enter the countdown to next week’s IMF Annual Meetings in Washington DC, I’m further reminded of how we can support greater integration with, and capital flows to, developing economies.
The aim? To help build marketplaces that support economic and social development.
Next week, I’ll be joining a panel of the world’s leading ministers of finance – from Italy and Nigeria to Mexico and Saudi Arabia – and representatives from the Agence UMOA-Titres and the World Bank.
This is a fantastic chance to discuss the future structure of the sukuk market, how institutional investors can better access the asset class, and how to increase uptake among investors.
The market in Islamic sharia-compliant bonds – or ‘sukuk’ – has mushroomed over the past decade. At the end of last year there was around USD 350bn of sukuk outstanding, more than half issued by Malaysian issuers.
In 2016 and 2017, we at Euroclear, saw two large Saudi Arabian issuances totaling USD 26.5bn. A pure standard Eurobond (USD 17.5bn) and an international sukuk issuance (USD 9bn).
Interestingly, four-fifths of the sukuks held in the Euroclear system are in Eurobond form and investor interest in what are fully collateralised instruments goes well beyond the traditional issuance regions of the Middle East and South East Asia.
For example, over 35% of the USD 9bn international sukuk issuance above went to Europe and the United States.
Sukuk issuance picked up strongly in the first half of this year. But events over the summer have highlighted the pressing need for more standardisation in this market after an issuer declared its own issue unlawful.
It is not for me to comment on the rights and wrongs of this case. But it does underline the desirability of consistent, global standards – in structuring, documentation, regulation, accounting and reporting.
The need for more standardisation is widely recognised. Malaysia must be applauded for establishing a centralised national sharia board. It is also pushing for global standards and monitoring.
The Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), a Bahreini organisation in existence since 1991, has been instrumental in establishing a host of standards across the industry. It recently issued exposure drafts on central sharia boards and accounting.
At Euroclear, we too are playing our part. We have been working on harmonising the different accounting and reporting standards in this area. I firmly believe that the widespread adoption of a sharia-compliant reporting standard will go a long way towards improving the efficiency of this market.
This is something that should concern not just investors, but issuers too.
Over the last few years the Euroclear team has worked with the International Islamic Financial Market to build a solution that helps financial institutions create liquidity and manage risk.
The solution aligns with the Master Collateralized Murabaha (MCM) agreement to offer users a choice between a bilateral and triparty model.
They both work to secure the exposure of a lender with securities from a borrower in the form of a pledge. And, most importantly, they are both Sharia compliant.
Another big development of recent years has been the emergence of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) based on sukuk indices.
These make life easy for investors by reducing investor access issues and boosting liquidity. They are traded on leading exchanges with the post-trade work taken care of by Euroclear or local CSDs.
But, by and large, the indices on which the Sharia ETFs are based are made up of internationally issued, dollar-denominated sukuk.
That leaves domestic, local currency sukuk, which make up about a fifth of the market, out in the cold. This opens up the possibility of a two-tier market.
Harmonisation and standardisation are vital ingredients for any international market. That is especially true of such complex instruments as sukuk, and we will go on working towards unified reporting standards.
So, is now the time for the sukuk market to blossom?

Since he arrived in Germany, Laurence has tried to do everything by the rules. He applied for asylum, waited patiently for his papers and found the kind of job no national would ever care to do. He is friendly to his neighbors, even the ones who tease his children in school, and cooperates with the police when they ask for his help.He’s found the formula for survival, or so he thinks, until one day his friend Rahim mysteriously disappears. When the body turns up charred beyond recognition, Laurence is thrust to the fore of a civil rights movement and is forced to take a closer look at the town he was so ready to call home.
Daniel Brunet was born in Syracuse, New York in 1979 and studied theater and film at Boston College.

The season is at its height for barbecue get-togethers with friends and family. We should all make a promise to ourselves to attend or throw at least one before the end of Labour Day weekend. It's a great way to show the people who love you that the feeling is mutual.
The biggest part of the fun of a backyard barbecue is the grilling, of course. It quickly becomes a group activity as people come forth with their “helpful hints,” best-ever sauces and stories of barbecue adventures past.
A common afterthought of barbecues, though, is often what we serve with the steaks or burgers or shrimp, etc. I often wonder why we often just opt for plain potato salad when many other recipes are better for you and take less time to make. Unless you burn your meat, your side dish choices can make or break a memorable affair.
Red onions are less sharp in taste than common yellow onions.
Salads are favourites for barbecue side dishes. The beauty is that most can be made in advance, and many salads even taste better after chilling. Making salads ahead means you have the time to put your feet up and enjoy your company instead of watching the festivities from the sidelines (kitchen).
Salads are favourites because they can be so diverse; they can be potato, pasta, fruit, bean, green, or gelatine salads, and don't forget the coleslaw. All have infinite variations.
This fresh vegetable salad recipe is an interesting combination of ingredients. The red onion, corn and tomatoes are nicely complemented by basil, and lemon juice gives it all a fresh, tangy taste.
As the recipe states, you can use sweet fresh corn right off the cob, but – being lazy — I used canned. I also don't like the mess of removing kernels from cobs. Whatever you do, don’t use cream style corn. Kernels only for this recipe.
I think you will like this. It's a great accompaniment and very "summery." The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re making it for more than a small group.
Drain the corn kernels (if using canned) and place in a bowl. Chop the tomatoes into small(ish) dice and add to the corn. Shred the basil and add in. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice over top and then pour on the olive oil.
Toss all to combine. Let sit to meld the flavours or refrigerate overnight.
Thanks for the addition in my stocks of bbq recipes. I have tried Italian, French and Spanish dishes at home whenever bbq parties throw out by my husband. You are a big source to get new idea. Please keep bringing.

The burgeoning field of cultural neuroscience is finding that culture influences brain development, and perhaps vice versa.
A Northwestern University professor finds that people's culturally shaped perceptions have profound effects on cross-cultural research.
Where you grow up can have a big impact on the food you eat, the clothes you wear, and even how your brain works.
The brain's mirror neuron network responds differently depending on whether we are looking at someone who shares our culture, or someone who doesn't.
A person who has immersed themselves in another culture has the openness and cognitive flexibility to make your organization more creative.
With the "creative class" on the rise, many businesses are trying to capitalize on imagination and innovation. But when it comes to creative juices, some societies have a faster flow than others.
A study of people in 40 countries illustrates long-established changes in Europe's population. Going back a few thousand years, researchers discovered just how interconnected human ancestry is.
*What role does neuroscience play in reinforcing or questioning the use of race in science and society?

As thought, by modifying our YouTrackSharp CreateUser method to use PUT instead of POST (and creating the Put method), this fixed the password issue and is now fully functioning.
So one down! Next up was to try TeamCity and straight to C# and VS 2012 for this one as the REST API looked similar to YouTrack. For this we used the TeamCitySharp NuGet package (by Paul Stack).
Although similar, it was not exactly the same and I found that it required a XML object passed, not just a string. We ended up using Fiddler to determine the structure of the required request body to create a new user and tested by using POST request in Fiddler itself (below). This turned out to be successful, except there was an issue (again) with the password.
After contacting the TeamCity team, it seems like there is a issue in the XML deserialization which ignores the password and they suggested a workaround by using a separate PUT request for the password. Using this fix, I got the CreateUser method fully working in TeamCitySharp and so have now successfully got two of the five accounts for new employees to automate new users. Next step will be to wrap them up in PowerShell script.
So to sum up this first week at endjin: I’ve had a play around with PowerShell and C#, learnt to use various debugging tools like Fiddler and IDE debuggers, learnt how to use BDD and testing frameworks, used Git to save and share projects, learnt how to configure virtual machines, toyed around with various tools to increase productivity and attended a client meeting about developing a communication plan. Been kept busy but that’s not a bad thing!
Next week I’ll be off at a client to run some testing, spending a day at Microsoft to attend a course on Azure, and starting to develop a web and mobile app to log apprentice activities and development.

Oz, The Great and Powerful (2013): We’re Off to See a Clunker!
The magic of The Wizard of Oz is indelibly etched in my memory as it must be for all movie lovers who wax nostalgic for childhood. How could one ever forget Dorothy’s quivering hand nudging open the portal to that new and strange colorful world? Or the high-pitched munchkins who fêted her and sent her on her yellow-brick journey? Or the motley band—scarecrow, tin man, and cowardly lion—of her lovable companions? Alas, fond remembrances of times past cannot expunge the present. I now live with the knowledge that I will never be able to erase the bitter memory of being subjected to Oz, the Great and Powerful.

We spoke with Pulse survivor Ricardo Negron Almodovar about his work supporting the LGBTQ Latinx community in the year since the massacre at the Orlando nightclub.
A part of the living memorial that has been maintained outside of the Pulse nightclub. Many of the items left are important in Catholic and Latinx communities, like these candles.
Ricardo Negron-Almodovar was at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando Florida just one year ago, on June 12, hoping to start his voter registration efforts, part of his work with the Hispanic Federation. Instead, he escaped physical harm by exiting the nightclub as the shooting began. That night transformed his life, as it has transformed many others impacted by what has been deemed the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.
In the year since, Negron-Almodovar has taken the political stage as a face of a Human Rights Campaign political advertisement and has become a leader of the local LGBTQ Latinx community in Orlando as the director of Proyecto Somos Orlando, an initiative of the Hispanic Federation that provides culturally-competent mental health services and support to members of the community impacted by the tragedy. Negron-Almodovar moved to Orlando just two years ago from Puerto Rico, where he had previously practiced law.
Colorlines spoke to Negron-Almodovar about his work with the community in the year since the tragedy. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
What are the main issues facing the people directly affected by the Pulse tragedy?
The main thing is mental health. It has been the focus of many of the organizations because that’s something that is going to be needed long term. There can be events that can be triggered out of nowhere. [On May 31] a media outlet was showing footage from the police body cams when they went into the club that night, and that is going to be particularly triggering.
What about the Univision reenactment that aired in February, Baños de Sangre (Blood Bath)? Was that challenging for the community?
What does your work at Proyecto Somos Orlando look like?
When someone comes in we do an initial needs assessment. If the person needs long-term mental health assistance, they get referred to a partner agency. If what they need is just initial crisis [support] then our case manager would take care of it. Initially we were only serving those who were directly affected—survivors or family members of survivors. Now we serve anyone that comes in through our doors.
When did you open up your services beyond those directly affected by the tragedy?
Somewhere around the time that the first disbursement of money from the OneOrlando fund [went out]. We saw that the people who were directly affected did not need to have that much [support] because food assistance, transportation [and other needs] were taken care of.
This is also when you started offering programming for the community?
[Yes]. We started doing programs for the general community, like two ESL classes, one for survivors and one for the general community. We [also] provide [community organizations] with in-kind space. We have an organization that does a lot of workshops on health and empowerment and workforce development. While adults are taking those workshops their kids are being tutored by another organization.
We’ve served 65 people who were directly affected [by the Pulse tragedy], and then since we’ve opened doors, we’ve served over 2,000 people.
Photo: Miriam Zoila Pérez The sidewalk in front of the Pulse nightclub in Orlando has become a living memorial to the 49 victims.
How does being a survivor affect your work?
I never get to put it away because my work is centered on building a stronger community because of [Pulse]. I’m very fortunate to be able to do it. I have an infrastructure for the LGBTQ Latinx community to be able to come in meet and talk about the issues that affect us as a minority within a minority, and that doesn’t really happen in a club. It’s really important to have this space. This is pretty much new, as something that is catering specifically or mainly to the LGBT Latinx community here.
What do you think has been missing from the national media conversation about Pulse?
Many angles have been covered. But still, now a lot of the media are coming in and again they will leave. It just kind of stirs emotions and issues up and then leaves it there. So I think there should be more follow up on if people are actually getting all their needs met. Not just focusing on that night, but also focusing on the what after, what policies have been changed, how is this going to be prevented, not only here but everywhere else. What steps are being taken by other communities to prevent this from happening?
Any plans for the one-year mark?
We are going to have the place set up to be a drop-in center in case anyone needs services, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. People can have the place to come and our staff members will be ready to assist them. We are [planning] a community gathering after June 12 about policy changes that can happen or should happen and how do we go on from here.
The nightclub has become a living memorial, with the sidewalk out front constantly visited by those who want to pay their respects. What are the plans for the building?
[There are] many meetings going on [that are] aimed at figuring out what [creating] a memorial [from the building] would look like. [They are] taking in the input from family members, survivors and those directly affected.
What do you wish people knew about the queer Latinx community in Orlando today?
We are very resilient. This was a definitely a major blow to our community as many of the victims were Latinx. [But] we’re still here, we’re trying to rebuild and make it better and any support that can be given to uplift our existence here, that is more than welcome. If anything [came] out of this tragedy, it has made the community even more visible and vocal.

The great thing about making custom furniture in Asheville is that many of our customers are creative people with wonderful ideas of their own.
One of our customers brought us a collection of turned wooden legs which had been salvaged from an old local general store that was being torn down. We designed a rustic kitchen island using the legs, then topped it with vintage slabs of heart-of-pine.
We've also made custom islands with wood salvaged from old bedsteads and chair legs.
These particular versions are not available for replication due the unique nature of the materials; but if you have a piece of furniture that's ready to be remade, give us a call. We love bringing new life to old pieces.

IT'S TECH-RICH, packed with safety equipment, available with downshift rev-matching and built on a platform that’s designed to handle: it is the all-new Toyota Corolla hatch.
Sportiness and cutting-edge technology aren’t attributes one would traditionally apply to the humble Corolla, but Toyota has pulled out all the stops for its clean-slate redesign of Australia’s most popular passenger car.
First off, the platform that underpins it is box-fresh. Toyota’s TNGA (or Toyota New Global Architecture) modular platform can already be found under the C-HR small SUV, Prius hybrid and Camry, and the benefits it brings to the new Corolla are manifold. For one, it replaces the old car’s torsion-beam rear suspension with a more sophisticated multi-link arrangement, while also offering a 60 percent improvement in body rigidity and a lower centre of gravity.
Translated into simple terms, it should feel more stable and secure on the road, while also boasting better comfort and sharper handling. Weight-saving measures such as a plastic tailgate see overall kerb weight rise just 30kg in manual form, despite the new Corolla being 45mm longer and 30mm wider than the car it replaces. Other dimensional tweaks include a 2640mm wheelbase that measures 40mm longer to boost cabin space, and a 40mm reduction in height for a sportier look.
The standard petrol engine is just as new. Displacing 2.0 litres and built on an all-alloy architecture that makes it lighter than the outgoing hatch’s 1.8-litre, the new Corolla’s naturally-aspirated engine generates 125kW and 200Nm, with Toyota claiming “world leading thermal efficiency” of 40 percent – that is, 40 percent of the latent energy in the fuel being burned ends up going to the car’s transmission rather than being lost as heat. To put it into perspective, the Mazda 3 generates 114kW and the same torque from 2.0 litres, while the Hyundai i30’s 2.0-litre atmo option produces 120kW and 203Nm.
The Corolla’s 2.0-litre engine is available with a six-speed manual gearbox on the Ascent Sport grade (which also brings downshift rev-matching), while a continuously-variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard-issue on the mid-grade SX and flagship ZR. Toyota promises the CVT loses the sluggish feel of the previous car’s auto option by adopting a mechanical launch gear for more direct power transmission from a standing start. Meanwhile, 10 fixed ratios can be sequentially selected when the CVT is put in its manual shift mode.
The addition of brake torque vectoring is another nod to keen drivers, gently braking the inside wheels during hard cornering to help reduce understeer.
Unlike the previous generation, the Corolla hybrid is no longer a standalone variant. The new Corolla range spearhead’s Toyota’s strategy of offering a hybrid powertrain option at every level of specification, with the super-frugal hybrid powertrain now available across the range at a $1500 premium over the cost of the equivalent conventional petrol model.
For that extra outlay, the 2.0-litre petrol gets replaced by a 1.8-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol, which also boasts a 40 percent thermal efficiency. Power output gets reduced to 72kW and 142Nm from the engine alone (90kW and 163Nm when the electric assistance motor is also in play), but fuel economy on the combined cycle is a frugal 4.2L/100km. The 2.0L, meanwhile, burns 6.0L/100km with the CVT automatic, or 6.3L/100km with the manual.
Standout features on the 2018 Corolla include the range-wide fitment of active cruise control, lane departure warning, auto high-beam, AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection (the latter only working in daytime), and an 8.0-inch colour touchscreen display. Opt for a CVT-equipped model, and you also gain lane-keep assist.
Move further up to the mid-level SX grade and blind spot monitoring, satellite navigation, wireless phone charging, digital radio, front foglights and a rear USB port become standard, while the range-topping ZR brings a colour head-up display, leather/suede upholstery, more heavily-contoured front seats, an eight-speaker premium audio system, in-cabin ambient lighting, self-dimming rear-view mirrors and uprated bi-LED headlamps.
Keen Corolla-spotters will note that the Ascent grade has been culled from the line-up, leaving the Ascent Sport to open the Corolla range. The price of entry consequently rises, now sitting at $22,870 for the Ascent Sport manual.
However, with the introduction of hybrid options on all three spec grades the Corolla hatch family continues to boast seven individual variants.

No one had ever come so close to the ideal laser before: theoretically, laser light has only one single color (also frequency or wavelength). In reality, however, there is always a certain linewidth. With a linewidth of only 10 mHz, the laser that the researchers from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have now developed together with US researchers from JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado Boulder, has established a new world record.

Badly bruised but still standing, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 first stage from last week’s high-energy delivery with Bulgaria’s first telecommunications satellite pulled into Port Canaveral on Thursday, six days after managing to survive the most challenging Drone Ship Landing to date.
The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS for short) is a joint venture between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA.). Though there are many goals and uses for this particular satellite, for the meteorological community, the most important factor will be the ability to acquire advanced and numerous types of vertical data from the top of the atmosphere all the way down to the surface of the Earth twice a day over every single location on Earth.
Patrick Cullis and Chance Sterling of the Ozone and Water Vapor Group (OZWV) show us how ozonesondes are used to create vertical profiles of ozone concentration in the atmosphere. The OZWV works within the Global Monitoring Division of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, CO.

Who is Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr.?
The Reverand Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr. is one of America's foremost civil rights and political figures. Over the past forty years he has played a pivotal role in virtually every movement for empowerment, peace, civil rights, gender equality and economic and social justice.Long before national health care, a war on drugs, direct peace negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis, ending apartheid in South Africa and advancing democracy in Haiti became accepted public policy positions, Reverend Jesse Jackson advocated them and by doing so helped to bring the American public to a new level of consciousness.Reverend Jackson's two presidential campaigns broke new ground in U.S. politics. His 1984 campaign registered over one million new voters, won 3.5 million votes and helped the Democratic Party regain control of the Senate in 1986. His 1988 campaign registered over two million new voters, won seven million votes and helped boost hundreds of state and local elected officials into office. In 1990 Reverend Jackson was elected to the post of US Senator for Washington, D.C.As a highly respected and trusted world leader, Reverend Jackson has acted many times as an international diplomat in sensitive situations. For example, in 1984 Reverend Jackson secured the release of capturedNavy Lieutenant Robert Goodman from Syria and the release of 48 Cuban and Cuban-American prisoners in Cuba. He was the first American to bring hostages out of Kuwait and Iraq in 1990. In 1999 he negotiated the release of U.S. soldiers held hostage in Kosovo.His international efforts continued into the 2000s. In February 2003 Reverend Jackson spoke in front of an estimated one million people in London's Hyde Park at the culmination of the anti-war demonstration against the imminent invasion of Iraq by the U.S. and the United Kingdom. In November 2004 he visited senior politicians and community activists in Northern Ireland in an effort to rebuild the peace process and restore the governmental institutions of the Belfast Agreement.A hallmark of Reverend Jackson's work has been his commitment to youth. He has visited thousands of high schools, colleges, universities and correctional facilities encouraging excellence, inspiring hope and challenging young people to study diligently and stay drug-free.
Reverend Jackson has also been a consistent and vigorous supporter of the labour movement in the U.S. and around the world. He is known as someone who has walked more picket lines and spoken at more labour rallies than any other national leader. He has worked with unions to organize workers, to protect workers rights and to mediate labour disputes. In 1996 he travelled to Asia to investigate treatment of workers in the Japanese automobile industry and in athletic apparel factories in Indonesia.For his work in human and civil rights and for nonviolent social change Reverend Jackson has received more than 40 honorary doctorate degrees. He frequently lectures at major universities including Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Columbia and Stanford. On August 9, 2000, President Bill Clinton awarded Reverend Jackson the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. In October 1997 he was appointed as Special Envoy of the President and Secretary of State for the Promotion of Democracy in Africa.Reverend Jackson has been on the Gallup List of the Ten Most Respected Americans for more than a dozen years. He is also a member of the Advisory Board of the International Peace Foundation. Reverand Jackson is also an avid supporter of Barack Obama during the 2008 USA Presidential Campaign.
Author's note: How the heck did IIUM manage to get this guy to give a lecture is beyond me. Somebody up there in admin must have REALLY superb connections. But seriously, this lecture is a must-go! Rugilah kalau miss.
tags: IIUM, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.
So didcha manage to go? My timing memang ngam tadi. I went late to avoid boring & unnecessary welcoming speeches (aka rector's) and managed to get in just as he was started. And then I immediately left after he was done. Hehe.
Great speaker that guy is. And there were times when I can hardly hold back from going all black gospel! The situation certainly felt like it. LoL. But tu lah... UIA crowd very demure and boring. Setakat tepuk tangan politely je.
Oh well, at least I heard a good orator speak. Even tough it felt like the guy was on a promotional campaign for Barack Obama.

SmartCash: How is it different from other cryptos?
SmartCash is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency based on a decentralized governance system. It has the ambition to be adopted at a worldwide level, and to allow its users to make daily and simple transactions in a quick and safe way using its cryptocurrency: SMART.
But what makes it different than the others, knowing that there are over 1500 cryptocurrencies out there? According to Mark Hakkarinen, blockchain and cryptoasset analyst, entrepreneur, and researcher, there are three things that really stand out: “First, there is a dedicated team that is self-funded by a portion of the block rewards. This helps to ensure there is continual innovation to help keep things moving along. Second, there is a Coinocracy component, which is the SmartHive Project Treasury. This allows anyone from the community to submit a project to be funded by block rewards as well. And everyone can vote on this who has SmartCash, not just “masternodes”. Finally, the focus on innovating “outside of the blockchain” helps to bridge the gap to adoption. With this, I mean projects such as SmartCard, SmartPay point of sale app, SmartBand, TipBots, and other projects that interact with the blockchain itself. Overall, these three things combine with low fees and a strong decentralized SmartNode network to provide a great starting point for global community involvement. A lot of projects just have a whitepaper, but SmartCash has so much already and it’s only just over a year old”.
Concerning future plans and novelties that we can expect to see in SmartCash’s future, there are a few things in the air that are not on the roadmap. The first is a new type of node to run the SmartPay API and ElectrumSmart servers. These would have higher requirements and may also get a small portion of the block rewards to incentivize their operation. Another big idea being discussed is to add a participation requirement to SmartRewards each cycle, such as voting (yes/no/abstain) on projects. The team behind this next generation blockchain payment network for merchants really wants people to be involved in the voting process and this may help do that, as well as provide greater incentives to be involved in the community. SmartCash will also be continuing to decentralize, so we can expect to see more hive teams in the future as well, all operating independently.
When asked if he thinks that we will see in our lifetime a world where fiat money has disappeared and everyone is paying in cryptos, the specialist holding an MA in Communication, Culture, and Technology from Georgetown University where he studied payment systems and digital currencies has an interesting view: “I think the definitions between fiat and crypto will become more blurred, but I think “fiat” as in government backed money will always exist. There are already crypto forms of fiat created and “stablescoins” are also becoming more popular. Those often just peg to fiat, which is a bit ironic”, says Mark Hakkarinen. He adds, “Ultimately I do think all transactions involving finance will use a form of blockchain inspired technology. Eventually, the way you see an ATM with 10 different network stickers I think all of these cryptos will be accepted, including SmartCash (which has a 120 year emission curve). It will be very interesting to see where this all leads, and I think we are in the early stages of some very crucial technology that will unlock a lot of further usage, such as Atomic Swaps”.
SmartCash will continue to be part of innovations like this!

Trend-wise, we can appreciate many decades that are prominent in 2019; from the length and fluidity of the 70s, to the 1990s interpretation of the hippie craze.
With spring finally here, and glimpses of warmer temperatures; there is a sense of a reawakening around the globe that only this season can provide.
The runway and streetwear styles continuously inundate the social sites and feed our daily digital platforms, and for SS19, denim is undeniably ruling.
The ‘Old Hollywood’ flair has sustained its status as a major stimulus within the fashion industry, often appearing on the red carpet and runway.
I recently wrote a piece where I spoke of the speculation on the demise of certain predictions in the form of colour and trend.

PS4 Safe Mode Options Explained!
Safe mode is a common term if you have been around electronics and the internet for a while. Safe mode is a mode on many electronic devices that’s designed to start the device in a safe mode. This is an unusable state in which only the important parts are loaded.
Safe mode is used to trouble shoot faulty devices and software applications. PS4 also has a safe mode you can use in case you’re running into problems starting up your console.
To start your PS4 in safe mode, make sure the console is completely turned off, then press and hold the power button. Release it after you’ve heard two beeps: one when you first press, and another 7 seconds later.
Connect the controller with a USB cable and press the PS button on the controller. You should now see the PS4 safe mode options in a black screen. It’s important to know what the options do!
Restart the PS4: This will exit ps4 safe mode and restart the console normally and load all your settings and user data. In case you don’t find what you were looking for in the safe mode options.
Change Resolution: The resolution settings can be accessed in normal mode but in case you encounter problems doing that normally, you can use this option in the Safe mode. This changes the resolution to 480p.
Update System Software: This option allows you to update the PS4 firmware. Updates can be done via the internet, the USB port or even an update disc. This is necessary if you cannor update the suystem software through the normal settings. You will not loose your settings and user data if you use this safe mode option.
Rebuild Database: The data in your PS4 resides in a data base. The problem you’re encountering might be due to corrupted instances of the database. This option allows your console to rebuild the database attempting to correct errors present. This one takes a while.
Initialize PS4: This option gets rid of all your user data and settings. It retains the current firmware version but all other settings are gone. This is likely to trouble shoot erors related to user data and settings you don’t understand.
Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software): This is basically a factory reset. All the user data and settings are deleted. Then the firmware is also restored to the original version when you purchased the console. It basically wipes the HDD clean. It might be important to back up your data before performing this and the previous option.
Set HDCP Mode: If you have a PS$ Pro, then you might see this extra option in your ps4 safe mode options. Choose this setting if you have a 4K tV and your PS4 pro is not showing the content on the screen. Select “HDCP 1.40 Only”. It could be a compatibility issue and you might have to settle for 1080p.
