Jobless and with a ticking travel visa time-bomb attached to them in the United States, one Singaporean couple did this: Walked more than 2.5km along the majestic Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, spend almost 11 hours moving up and down the ageless Grand Canyon on a mule, and drove through the dry marshes of the iconic Trona Pinnacles.
If that was not captivating enough, all of the above -and more- was captured by Lester Lee and his girlfriend, Charmaine Goh, using just a 4.9 inch (12.4cm) iPhone. So how did they do it?
The answer is a combination of mobile applications, huge lungs and a bit of a MacGyver thinking. For instance, to take a stable shot while in a moving vehicle such as the four-wheel ride across the Trona Pinnacles, Lester decided to take a long breath while filming.
“I just tried my best to stabilise it by holding on to my breath. The most of it actually is just cutting away the shaky parts and show the stable parts. Another way we did is to put our iPhone on to the car’s window flat on. It just stabilises the video so well. We’ve no physics explanation or what for that but it works!” Lester exclaimed.
Viewers are in for a visual treat throughout the 5-minute video named Small Steps – USA, with a generous amount of time-lapses adorning parts of it. Before taking the time-movement shots with his iPhone, Lester researched and utilised the relevant apps available.
“Time-lapse is surprisingly easy and amazingly great for an iPhone. It was my first time trying time-lapse on an iPhone so I went to Google for the best apps for it at the moment. We found Timelapse and Gorillacam app free and tried both. We invested in a simple, small and affordable Gorillapod suitable for smart phones,” Lester explained.
Perhaps more compelling than watching uber-beautiful sceneries outdoing each other in a video is the story behind it. Although smiling faces are aplenty in the film, Lester reveals that the couple had originally went to the United States last September to get a job.
For three months, the couple scoured for openings, attended interviews but all they got back were disappointment as no company was willing to sponsor them.
“We always habour some thoughts of working overseas and wanted to give it a try too … But unfortunately 3 months later after several interviews we didn’t managed to find a company willing to be our sponsor and return home,” Lester explained.
Lester took about two weeks to complete Small Steps – USA. The art director also designed the opening graphics of the video, one which he said was inspired by the native American Indian petroglyphs when the couple visited the Indian reservation area in the south-west of USA.
The iPhone may be less powerful than a DSLR, but one of the boons of using the former while travelling is surely its size and portability. Nonetheless, the video has also taught Lester about a smartphone’s many other benefits as an image-capturing companion, such as satisfying one’s social-sharing instincts.
“I’ve once travelled with a point and shoot camera, a GoPro with all these stabilisers and mounts and batteries and iPhone. During the trip, I was just frustrated by the amount of things I was carrying. After the trip, I realise my iPhone’s photos are better than the point and shoot camera and GoPro. And I’m able to upload it to social media platforms for conveniently,” Lester said.
Between having walked along one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and witnessing the razzing sun on mega plateaus, Small Steps – USA seems to have taught us that memories don’t come from the most expensive equipment but from the best travel buddies. Including the iPhone.

I stopped into Bloom for a bingsu smoothie, but it is also pretty popular for espresso-based beverages, pancakes, and bubble teas.
Finding non-chain cafes near main roads at City Hall Station in Seoul is actually pretty tricky.
I stumbled upon this cafe, which is quite easy to find, by accident one day.
The prices are actually quite okay here, by that I mean the price of an americano is less than 4500KRW.
My smoothie was 4500KRW, which is pretty comparable to the price of smoothies in other parts of the city that don't have such high real estate prices.
As you can see, this is kind of "old-style" bingsu, with cornflakes on top.
The pat (sweetened red beans) are blended into the very rich/savory, but yet still sweet smoothie.
I'm not very good at volume measurements, but I'm pretty sure this is about 20 ounces of bingsu, which is kind of too much for one time.
Apart from the unique bingsu smoothie, they have other pretty unique drinks, too, on a rotating schedule.
I recommend checking it out! Its location is perfect if you're finishing up a tour of Deoksugung Palace and want to hit up a coffee shop other than Cafe Pascucci, Dunkin Doughnuts, or Starbucks.
The menu isn't in English, but I think the store workers should speak some English.
I saw some international tourists come in and order pretty unique drinks (not just relying on the trusty Americano or cafe latte) in the time I was there with no Korean.
There are seats for about 30 and a pretty peaceful atmosphere.
Walk straight out of Exit 7 of City Hall Station.
Cross the street at the big crosswalk. It will be the third or fourth shop to your left, by the Saemaeul Shikdang (meat restaurant) and a Western bar (55Ave Hof).

Ranking in Google can be quite aggravating if you do not use SeNuke TNG software. The 1st factor you need to recognize is that Google is your first buyer and it is essential that you give the lookup engines precisely what they want. Most individuals get this totally wrong and end up ranking someplace out in cyber land.
A rational question you ought to be asking your self is what does Google want? How can I provide good review on SeNuke TNG to my viewers? Listed here are 6 methods that you can put into action right away to enhance your rating benefits. The much more of these you have heading for you the greater your odds are of becoming revealed to the search engines customers.
1. We can start by ensuring that the title of our website or webpage has the primary key phrase in it or is the primary search term that we would like to rank for. It is also a good concept to have the key word as your domain identify if it’s accessible.
Here’s an illustration. If an individual is searching in Google and they type in A key phrase phrase and your domain identify, website webpage title and the articles of the internet page all incorporate the actual search term phrase that a person is browsing on your internet site will be taken into thought as feasible pertinent match.
Next the engine will appear at the material of the net website page and search for how times the precise keyword phrase is on the website page. This is identified as search term density. This is a ratio of how many instances the actual key word phrase appears on the webpage in relation to all the other words and phrases on the webpage. Important term density should be in the 2%-four% variety. If the share is as well large you’ll be observed as a spammer and if its way too minimal that will damage you as properly.
Post articles to post directories with your hyperlink in the resource box. Discussion board posts, again with your link in the post. Social media posts and fan web pages. Social e-book marking internet sites. Publish video clips to movie internet sites. Submit to directory listings. How may possibly other web sites are linking to your site. The a lot more web sites in your specialized niche that url to you inform the engines that your internet site is critical and has authority. It’s social proof. Here’s an case in point: If you saw a widget that experienced five thousand downloads and another widget that had one hundred downloads which one would you gravitate to? Most individuals would choose the a single with five thousand downloads. The algorithm utilized to rank sites works in considerably the exact same way. Basically get in touch with other website proprietors and inquire them if they will exchange backlinks with you or if you can put up a link on their web site. Numerous will be inclined to work out an arrangement with you.
three. Look for out larger ranking web sites to website link to. The increased the rating of the websites linking to your site tells the bots and spiders that other important authority sites think your internet site is important and authoritative which results in a increase in the rankings.
four. How a lot of of your webpages are linked by internal back links? They adore links and this also permits the spiders or bots to journey from one page to an additional very easily. Make certain your inner website pages are joined to one particular an additional in the entire body of the website page exactly where it can make the most feeling.
five. Ensure that the key phrases or keyword phrases appear in your site map hyperlinks.
File name Title: if possible at the beginning of the title Use the keyword in the video clip. The engines use technologies that really hear to the video clip to guarantee that the movie is pertinent to a customers research standards. Description: No much more than two back links in the description. Tags: Rule of thumb is no much more than 5 keywords with every single becoming considerably less than 20 figures. The total mixed character limit in the tags box should be sixty figures or much less. This is optimum & assures you won’t be seen as a key phrase spammer. The more substantial your presence on the world wide web the better. You’ll want to stay away from copy content wherever you’re outlined. As an case in point you would not want to post the identical specific post in 100 diverse write-up directories. The research engines dislike copy material as they see it as sort of spam making an attempt to manipulate the lookup motor results and you can be penalized by the lookup engines. If you’re heading to post articles or blog posts to one hundred different post directories then each report need to be special but yet connected to what your site is about.
1st page rankings do not come about right away. The important is to be regular and methodical in growing your web existence whilst offering the lookup engines specifically what they want which is quality pertinent articles for their consumers. If you are going to do this you will before long be dominating your market all throughout the internet.

The Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that the appeal brought by relatives of the 23 men killed in the Batang Kali massacre would not be upheld.
The Malayan Emergency was fought from 1948 to 1960 in what is modern-day Malaysia between Commonwealth armed forces, including thousands of British troops, and anti-colonial guerrillas. Britain’s involvement stemmed largely from British ties to tin and rubber interests which were seen as critical to its economy.
Men from the Scots Guards regiment were responsible for the attack. The long campaign by the families of the victims has spilled into another row about when cases of colonial brutality are allowed to disappear into history, which has implications for legal actions in Ireland.
One British veteran of the conflict also criticised the court’s response.
“Murder is murder. There should [be] no limit on justice,” he said, questioning why dire conditions in the “concentration” camps used to forcibly house Malayans were not discussed more in the case.
At a prison-like facility named Kampong Coldstream, which was run by his regiment, Heaton said conditions were awful. People were only put there after being rounded up in clearance operations.
He recalled watching “kids crying as soldiers burned their food and their things,” before taking the families away to the camps.
“After all, those killed were British subjects living in a British-protected state,” he added.
But David ‘Baron’ Neuberger, president of the Supreme Court and Britain’s most senior judge, ruled the case is too old to re-open.
Neuberger conceded the “evidence that came to light” was “compelling and suggests that the killings were unlawful” but said the shootings had occurred too long before a ‘right to petition’ was recognized by British courts in 1966.
However, Darragh Mackin, a lawyer with the Belfast firm KRW Law which represented Irish victims’ organisations, said the ruling would not hamper the outcome of a number of cases currently being taken by victims of of violence and murder by the British Crown forces in Ireland.
“Whilst not being a satisfactory result for the relatives of victims of the Batang Kali massacre, the judgment does have an important impact for dealing with historic related murders in this jurisdiction. The court has held that the obligation on the British state to investigate suspicious deaths arises from the date the state granted the right of individual petition, namely 1966.

Cabbage soup! In the instant pot! Because it’s summer and we are in no-cook mode.
Have you ever made cabbage soup? Is it weird to be thinking about soup in July? I don’t think so. Because I love cabbage and I love soup, and I don’t think soup should be reserved for cold weather only.
I’ve heard a bunch of buzz about this thing called a “cabbage soup diet.” Apparently it’s a popular way to “detox” and lose weight. None of these factors have anything to do with why I’m sharing this soup recipe today. To be honest, I don’t know anything about all of that. What I do know that this cabbage soup is good and that it’s good for you. And if you ask me, that’s good enough.
This cabbage soup includes some of summer’s best produce – fresh sweet corn and zucchini. If you’re making it in the winter, you could easily sub in other seasonal ingredients like broccoli, chickpeas, potatoes, etc.
The process is incredibly simple, especially if you’re using an instant pot. (If you don’t have one yet, GET YOU ONE.) You start off by sautéing the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in the instant pot and then add everything else in – cook for 20 minutes and your soup is ready to go! If you don’t have an instant pot and want to make this soup like NOW, you can start sautéing in a large pot, then add the other ingredients, bring to a boil for 5 minutes and then simmer for the remaining time. Either way, you’re gonna love it!
Make this instant pot cabbage soup ASAP and show it off on Instagram – I wanna share your food on our stories!
Yum! Added random, tiny potatoes I had. Thanks!
I’m so glad you liked it. Thanks for the tip on adding potatoes!
Very bland and tasteless. I had to add a can of Rotel after cooking. Love cabbage, but the corn does nothing for this and to me it was a failure.
I’m sorry you didn’t like this recipe! I always enjoy it when we make it. You could certainly add more seasonings if desired.
Anyone know the calories per cup?
Hi Faith! This soup has about 73 calories per cup. I’ve updated the recipe to show all nutritional values!
So good. I used turkey broth and used 1/3 cup diced spiced summer sausage (what I had) Yum.
We have made it twice and it is turned out what’s my wife and enjoyed it very much.
That’s awesome! It’s such a good soup!

The umbrella genre is documentary but I don’t want you to get hung up on labels; my workshops will enable you to develop key techniques to raise the quality of your images through recording people and places in the context of their daily lives; so embrace the world of street and travel photography.
Photo walks around the local streets will get you up close with the hustle and bustle of daily life, no long lenses, just candid, real photography, which can be full on and fast paced – bring your walking shoes!
You will have an adventure; be ready to explore off the beaten track of the tourist trail and be immersed in the life and culture of the locality.
This is travel photography that focuses on real life; on people and the context of the place we are photographing, rather than looking for stunning locations and landscapes, so join me for an experience of a lifetime.
Using the techniques we will develop over the workshops you will have a set of images that create a photo story of your journey, editing the reality like an article for National Geographic.
Photographing people is my passion, capturing characters in their environment tells their unique story. We will visit markets and railways stations, photograph people as they work and go about their daily chores.
I will demonstrate some key techniques that will take your photography to the next level; and then work closely with you on a daily basis to put these techniques into practice.
I will encourage you to find different angles to shoot from, changing your view point by getting up high or low, or finding objects to shoot through will add anew dimension to your photography. Developing your ability to micro compose, moving yourself/your camera to enhance the image information of the lens will ensure you have more great images to pick from at the end of the day.
A simple technique but once you tune your eye into looking for reflections you will make good use of them to enhance your images; mirrors, water, not just single but multiple reflections within one image.
One of the most complex techniques we will develop starting simply and then extending to complex photographs with several layers, each adding detail and drawing your eye through the picture.
When you look at a photograph you don’t want to ‘escape’ from it so using people and objects as bookends and frames will hold your audiences attention in a single composition.
As part of your documentary photo story you want images that set the scene, capture the characters and tell the story, these are enriched when you focus in on some of the unique details.
Although I am known for my high contrast black and white editing, I am equally inspired by colour; looking for broad brush strokes of colour in the environment to run through an image or a juxtaposition of colour that creates a ‘pop’.
Some photographers have this skill in abundance; it’s definitely one that I continually revisit and develop in my own photography. It’s an approach, a mindset, looking for the extraordinary in the ordinary, the unusual in the usual, and you will have images that make you look and think!
My workshops are definitely full one, from the time we get up and have breakfast together to the time we return to our rooms in the evening; there is a great buzz as we share our interest in photography throughout the workshop. There’s a great sense of fun which is why I am so pleased to welcome back people time after time on my workshops; I love being able to share my passion and inspiration with you.
As an introduction to the workshop we will look at a range of techniques and styles, then on a daily basis there will be opportunities to challenge yourself as I choose particular locations to develop key techniques.
My philosophy is shoot hard edit harder. Each day we will edit our images. I recommend you use photo mechanic and lightroom. We will edit to enhance what you captured in camera, it is not about creating a new image on your laptop.
Don’t be fearful this really is a positive and important part of the workshop – each evening we will critique our images together, sharing what’s working and finding elements to improve; this means every day you will be able to see your techniques developing.
I work hard to plan workshops in places that will inspire your photography and give you an authentic experience.
I work with local family run hotels and communities to consider the ethical impact of my workshops; for example over the last five years my workshops have supported a village school in Jodhpur and a street charity in Kolkata.

On November 7th, Chris Smith (@chrismsnz) of Insomnia Security alerted the Laravel development team of a method of bypassing the CSRF verification in Laravel 4 applications.
Note that the token comparison has been changed from a != comparison to a !== comparison. This will prevent specially crafted JSON requests from bypassing the filter.
You also need to update to orchestra/foundation version v2.1.14 or v2.2.8 to receive the security fixes for CSRF on the administration/backend interface.
If you are using the CSRF protection feature of Laravel/Orchestra Platform, it is recommended that you apply this patch immediately.

One of the tallest skyscrapers in the world, the Empire State Building is found at the intersection of West 34th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City. In the Americas, it is considered the fourth highest freestanding structure. Worldwide, it is the eleventh highest. Because of these amazing feats, many people find it highly interesting. In order to become more familiar with this awesome structure, it is good to know the different dimensions of the Empire State Building.
What are the dimensions of the Empire State Building? In terms of height, this building stands way above the others at 1,250 feet. This measurement is only up to the 103rd floor. If you include the pinnacle, the length of which is a little more than 203 feet, the total height of this building goes up to 1,453 feet and 8 9/16 inches. From the level of the street all the way up to the 103rd floor, the total number of steps is 1,860.
In terms of total floor area, this building covers 2,768,591 square feet. The total number of faucets available inside is 9,000, while the total length of the electrical wire used is 2,500,000 feet. The height of the top floor is 1,224 feet. If you are to include the spire/antenna, the overall height goes up to 1,472 feet.
The Empire State Building was constructed from 1929 to 1931. From that point in time, it was regarded as the tallest building worldwide until 1973. After that, it was surpassed by the World Trade Center. The total floor count is 102. A total $40,948,900 was spent for its construction. Floodlights were added to the building some time in 1964. These lights are highly recognizable especially during special events and other important occasions like Independence Day, Christmas and Saint Patrick’s Day.
More than 110 million people have already visited this skyscraper. One of its major highlights is the observation deck at the 86th floor. This spot in the building offers people a 360-degree panoramic view of the entire New York City. Because of the amazing view that it offers, it has been used in making literary classics, television shows as well as films.
Because of its massive and gargantuan frame, the American Society of Civil Engineers named it as part of the so-called ‘Seven Wonders of the Modern World.’ In 1986, it was considered a National Historic Landmark. In addition, the American Institute of Architects granted it the top spot of its List of America’s Favorite Architecture.

But as Rovers go in search of just a second home win in nine months against Coventry City on Boxing Day, he might be tempted to drive a different way to the ground, wear a different tie, or even think about new colour schemes in the home and away dressing rooms.
Doncaster’s home is sadly anything but the fortress that its name might suggest.
Since the Keepmoat Stadium opened in January 2007, Rovers have lost almost as many games at their new home as they have won (W79 D52 L75).
Notably, their form at home is getting worse too.
Excluding the current campaign, which has harnessed just one home win from ten attempts, Rovers have lost more games at the Keepmoat than they have won for three out of the last four seasons.
The exception was the League One title-winning season of 2012/13 - and even then Rovers finished as low as 12th in the ‘home’ table.
So what’s gone wrong at the Keepmoat? Well, for my money, it is down to a lack of atmosphere, intensity and obvious game plan; a combination of factors.
Attendance figures have steadily dropped. So too have the noise levels.
The setting is very pleasant, the facilities plush, and the welcome far from hostile.
Apart from a pitch that players have been known to describe as ‘hard’ underfoot, there is nothing at the Keepmoat to make life difficult for visiting teams.
It’s a nice day out, especially for League One teams who don’t boast similar facilities, and this can lead to teams raising their game against Rovers, a so-called ‘big fish’ in the third tier.
What success Rovers have had at home under Paul Dickov has been based on a high tempo, high energy approach.
The best example came at the start of last season, when a high quality Blackburn team were not allowed to breathe for 90 minutes and Doncaster’s relentless closing down completely strangled the visitors.
That intensity has gone missing and, when the squad is thin on numbers like it is now, it is difficult for the same small group of players to replicate performances like the Blackburn one week in, week out.
That said, Rovers have no excuse for not formulating a solid game-plan at home, but their approach is not obvious to the naked eye.
Dickov wants his team to ‘get on the front foot’ from the first whistle and take the game by the scruff of the neck. However, the numbers clearly indicate this is not happening. This season Rovers have scored the first goal in a game at the Keepmoat just once, against Chesterfield, their only home win this term.
Just like Barry, Rovers are getting desperate at home. Hopefully there will be some sort of relief just around the corner.

Justin Bieber is a lucky guy.
Fans have been waiting patiently for the music video for Selena Gomez's "Wolves," her new collaboration with the DJ Marshmello. It's finally here, and Gomez doesn't disappoint, particularly as she manages several flawless costume changes, looking nothing short of perfect in every single one.
The song came out last month, before Gomez and Justin Bieber started hanging out again, and before they reportedly made their relationship exclusive once more. And now that Gomez has unfollowed her ex The Weeknd on Instagram, it's pretty clear that things are back on between Bieber and Gomez for real. The couple's reunion has made people all over the world believe, if only momentarily, that love actually exists. I'm a major cynic, and even I hope that Gomez and Bieber stay together this time.
Gomez's new music video might not have a plot, per se, but it does feature the singer wearing several incredible outfits, and walking on water. Basically, Bieber is a lucky guy, but we all knew that, right?

The RENEW Wisconsin team got an up-close view of the Wisconsin Quilt Block Wind Farm on August 24th. The wind farm, developed by RENEW business member EDP Renewables, is located 50 miles southwest of Madison in Lafayette County’s Seymour Township. The turbines compliment the area’s sprawling corn, wheat, and soybean fields and provide local farmers with a stable cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments.
We drove about an hour and fifteen minutes from Madison through the beautiful rolling hills of southwest Wisconsin. About 10 minutes from our destination, we caught our first glimpse of the striking wind turbines in the distance.
When we pulled into the lot where the project offices were located, we were all struck by the impressive number of vehicles and people going about their work, a testament to the 100 full time jobs created during construction. The wind farm will also offer 12 permanent jobs during the life of the project.
We entered the on-site offices and were greeted by a very friendly project team and other invited guests, including U.S. Representative Mark Pocan, whose congressional district includes the new wind farm. We also heard from local leaders who were proud to show us the project and share their great experiences working with the EDP team and others. The project is intricately tracked on a white board in the job site trailer, with each turbine listed along with process steps and status. We learned that 41 of the planned 49 turbines had already been erected or "topped out," putting the project ahead of schedule.
After enjoying coffee and donuts, we piled into several pickup trucks for the short drive to one of the turbines that had recently been erected. Our guide Chris, an inspector and surveyor who oversees the construction of the concrete bases for EDP, gave us a quick safety talk, then gamely answered all of our questions about the construction process. One big surprise? The ‘top-out’ process, where workers use cranes to hoist a nacelle and blades atop each tower, is completed for each of the 49 turbines by a single work crew of only a dozen people. We were impressed by the efficiency.
On site, we stood directly beneath a recently-constructed wind turbine, towering above us. As lovely as it was to see the turbines in the distance, this was even more majestic. We were overwhelmed by the size and beauty of the turbines. Tim McComish, the Chairman of the Town of Seymour and a 5th generation local farmer said he did a lot of research when the wind farm was first proposed. He was concerned that the turbines would ruin the landscape. “I love how they look,” he said.
At our next stop, we stood beside a tower with its nacelle and 3 blades on the ground, waiting to be hoisted by two large cranes later in the day. Standing next to three enormous turbine blades, the size and perspective was mind-blowing. The blades and nacelles on these impressive structures can actually be raised and assembled in 3 to 4 hours, if the wind conditions and weather allow.
RENEW toured the project along with a number of local officials including Tim Burgess, a Supervisor in Seymour. He is supportive of the wind farm and enthusiastic about the benefits it will bring to the local community. "Any farmer or community who tries to keep a project like this out of their area is crazy," he joked. Burgess is also one of the 44 local land owners who are leasing land to the farm. He was impressed by how efficient, professional, and considerate all of the contractors on the project had been.
When finished, the 98 MW wind farm will produce enough clean electricity to power more than 37,000 Wisconsin homes. The energy will be purchased from Quilt Block by Dairyland Power Cooperative.
This wind farm represents a capital investment of approximately $167 million. About $400,000 in revenue every year will be generated for local governments, divided among the county and towns. For the Township of Seymour, where the wind farm is located, the $150,000 they will earn each year is bigger than their current annual budget, and they are eager to put the revenue toward new projects and improvements to local roads, according to Vanessa Tutos of EDP Renewables.
Why Quilt Block? We learned that the wind farm’s name references the barn quilts of Lafayette County. Barn quilts are painted wood or metal quilt blocks mounted on barns or other buildings and celebrate the area’s agricultural heritage.
We’re grateful to Vanessa, Wayne, and everyone at EDP Renewables and the residents of Lafayette County for their hospitality. We’re also glad we had the chance to talk with U.S Representative and renewable energy proponent Mark Pocan. It was a privilege to see first-hand the beauty and benefits of this amazing wind farm and to meet the team that made it possible.

英文摘要 The DPP had replaced KMT in Taiwan’s presidential election of 2000,which is the first time of party switching after establishment of the ROC Constitution. The difference of Ideology between KMT and The DPP would change the mainland policy and cross-straits relations.
Mainland policy is always not only one of the most complicated subject matter in governmental policies but also an important variable determining the future development in Taiwan. Looking at the DPP's mainland policy formulation, in addition to consideration of the local DPP ideology, the other two sides of different ideology, the involvement of the United States and other international factors, changes in Taiwan's ideology, domestic political and economic transformation of the type, the DPP factions factors also affect the continent in the direction of policy.

Keep the smiles and forget the tears, remember the happiness and forget the fears.
Wishing you a happy new year 2015!
Find inspirations through fun-tinted glasses. The Moon is in Cancer and it's time to unlock new avenues for growth and creativity. Sometimes it can be challenging to find new inspirations when we're caught up in a serious 'adult' mentality. By opening our mind to more varied sources of inspiration we can find new solutions to old problems. There is a harmonious trine forming between the Moon in Cancer and Mercury, Venus, the Sun and Saturn in Scorpio as well as between Mercury in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces, and this is great for our vibes to inspire good relationships with others. We are more open to discuss deep and real issues and start making some big changes in our life. With Mars and Pluto conjuncting in Capricorn, we can be reminded that changes can be stressful, even changes for the better. Be aware that by staying openly attuned with our higher Self and purpose, we can make progress in opening the door to new roads down the line.
Your inner child is your biggest fan, always supporting, and guiding you to your freedom. The concept of inner child may seem foreign to some, but they are a part of us. They are who we once were, physically, and they're always within us. They are sad when we're feeling sad, and they're happy when we are happy. The Moon is in Leo along with Jupiter, and it's time to get back in touch with our true innate strength. Themes of growth and creativity continue at this time, encouraging us to find new ways to express our individuality - in the midst of daily life. The Leo Moon will trine Uranus Rx in Aries and our creative flow can receive a big boost. With the square to Mercury, the Sun, Venus and Saturn in Scorpio, it may take extra effort to put our ideas together and work out what needs to be done next. Know that we always have the ability to settle things with love and passion. Let go of hard feelings, and be open to let more things into our life that will keep us positive and in high vibration.
Where were we 3 years ago? 2 years ago? 1 year ago? 1 week ago?
How much have we truly changed?
Happy New Moon in Leo! Love and freedom rule this New Moon in playful and upbeat Leo! Ruling the 5th House in Astrology, Leo in our chart represents our freedom of self-expression, creativity, playfulness, and confidence. With the Sun and Jupiter here, the New Moon marks a time when we can no longer be anyone but our truest and most authentic self! Not only because we want to, but because we feel that we need to. Otherwise we'd feel like we are betraying our heart and soul. It's a truly cathartic time for many of us, a time when we can finally open our heart to more people in our life. The Leo sign represents true expression of the heart, so there's really no better time to express our appreciation than this New Moon!
Speaking of creativity, how can we express our self in a more honest and direct way now? How can we feel more comfortable in sharing our truest hopes and dreams with people around us? The Moon in Leo will later trine Retrograde Uranus in Aries, which means that we can finally discover new and more creative ways to break free from our old ways of doing things, or thinking about things. What used to be okay for us may no longer fit our new perspective on life and relationships. We expect nothing but the real and authentic from our interactions, and we'll be able to see how we can bring about more love and honesty into our life. Creative imagination and inspiration surround us when we see the world with open heart and childlike eyes.
Mercury in Cancer is trining Saturn which is now moving direct in Scorpio (after his 5 month retrograde in the sign). We have the mental and emotional capabilities to stay strong, grounded, and responsible. No matter what new obstacles may appear on our path, we will see that we are indeed stronger than we have ever been before. We have evolved so much in the past couple of years, and we can now understand that with stronger and more positive mental vision we can deal with whatever problems/lessons life may throw in the future.

One word that comes to mind when I think of the upcoming Full Moon in Capricorn is potent. Not only will the Moon in Capricorn oppose the Sun in Cancer, it will also conjunct Pluto - and then later activates the Grand Cross aspects to Mars in Libra and Uranus in Aries. For many this can be another particularly intense Full Moon when emotions can run high and imaginations run wild. For the rest of us, this can be a time when we can see more clearly with open heart where our life is heading, and how we truly feel about it. We can look forward to finding a new sense of confidence – regardless of our past fears and limitations. As Plato once said, courage is knowing what not to fear. So there's really no better time to focus on the positive in our life than this Full Moon!
Apart from all the potent energies coming from the Full Moon, we can expect to see another great omen from the heavens. Because the Moon will also form a sextile to Saturn in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces. This can be another great opportunity for many of us to heal our emotional wounds, so that we can start fresh in the next phase of our life. We just need to remain open to life's possibilities for true healing to occur, and then to surrender and let go.
Speaking of Capricorn, let's not forget that we had a powerful New Moon in this sign back on January 1st. Where were we on New Years eve? How did we feel? And what did we do? For some the memories can come up again at this time because the energy of this Full Moon will be quite similar. Perhaps we can see now that some things didn't go as we'd hoped - although in the greater scheme of things, they did go in the best way that only our heart and soul can understand. Or perhaps things did go as planned, but we're seeing them rather differently now. If we look back, we will see that perhaps we didn't really want all those things we thought we wanted – partly because we couldn't see them as clearly and honestly as we should. Planet Venus (aka Goddess of love and desires) was still in her retrograde period too at the beginning of the year, so the chances of unclarity when it comes to our heart's desires were quite high. Either way, trust that in time the answers will always come to us in one way or another.
In the end, the Full Moon is always a time of culmination, a time when we can see and reap the rewards of our efforts. A time when we can discover new steps we need to take in order for us to grow and evolve. A time when we can release things from our life that no longer serve us, so that we can move forward with new hope. This Capricorn Full Moon in particular can also provide us with insights on how to drop our fears. By dropping fears, I'm not suggesting some extreme examples like our fear of jumping off planes or wrestling with snakes. It's really more about the letting go of our emotional demons, our fear of failure, our fear of success, our fear of the unknown, the future, and to catch glimpses of inspiration that come up in our mind. After all, only we know the answers. What we're ready to do next, and what we're ready to let go. Everyone can say what they want to say, or do what they want to do, but ultimately, we're truly the captain of our soul!

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has slammed the club as being ‘rudderless with no accountability’.
Speaking exclusively to the Islington Gazette newspaper the much-loved iconic striker pulled no punches in his analysis of the North London giants he played for with such distinction.
Wright, who broke 1930s star Cliff Bastin’s Arsenal goalscoring record in September 1997, eventually ending his Highbury career on 185 goals from 288 appearances was talking at the premier of 89 The Film.
The South-Londoner was featured in the stunning documentary chronicling the climax to the momentus 1988-89 season talking about his good friend and former team-mate, the late David ‘Rocky Rocastle in an emotional interview which will move every Arsenal fan.
Wright – who played for the club for seven years after being signed by then boss George Graham in September 1991 – recalled the spirit the class of 89 showed in winning against all odds and compared it to the current team.
Speaking on the staircase of the art-deco Odeon Holloway good-natured Wright said: “What I want Arsenal fans to understand when they see this unbelievable film is to see what Arsenal epitomised. They way we played and the way that game went in 89 epitomised The Arsenal.
“From the start of the season to the end they never gave up. It was quality all the way through right to the end but they also fought all the way through.
Wright has attracted criticism for his forthright views on the club but insists he just wants to see the club do well.
He was hurt by the 4-0 humiliation Arsene Wenger’s team suffered at the hands of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at Anfield in August accusing players like Mesut Ozil of not caring when they pull on the red and white of Arsenal compared to the class of 89.
He added: “That’s why a lot of former players are getting a lot of stick with people saying we’re not being positive about the club – but there’s not much to be positive about.
“It’s rudderless from top to bottom. There’s no accountability. What you see in the film about what happened in 1989 is what we haven’t seen from an Arsenal team for many, many years.
89 The Film saw Wright join a large number of the 1989 side including former manager George Graham, his captain Tony Adams, Lee Dixon, Alan Smith, and Wenger’s assistant Steve Bould among many others.
The film details the events of the momentous 1988-89 season which culminated in Arsenal winning the league title against all-the-odds in a memorable climax now embedded in the club’s folklore.
Wright, speaking of his friend Rocastle, said: “The film was a really emotional thing to do. It’s brought back a lot of memories.
“He’s someone everybody loves and to know him from a very young age and to try and put his story over in my words is an honour.
“Dicko [Lee Dixon] and everyone has done a fantastic job on a fantastic story. If people tried to write this story they would say it’s too dramatic.
Wright was delighted to meet-up with former Arsenal friends and colleagues on a joyous evening in North London. He was also pleased to see his old boss George Graham.
The revered Scot was known for being a hard taskmaster, driving his team onto two league titles, two League Cups, the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup.
Wrighty added: “It’s great to see George Graham. People used to call me the son of George because me and him used to have a father and son kind of relationship – we argued all the time and he used to push me to get the very best out of myself every single time.
“So I’m just pleased that we’re honoured 89 with an amazing film and I’m really pleased I’m honouring my mate David Rocastle who played his part.
89 tells the incredible story of one of football’s greatest triumphs when Arsenal snatched the Championship title from Liverpool at Anfield in the last minute of the last game of the 1988-89 season.

Finally had my '96 Speedster out on the lake and opened it all the way. All I can say is, wow, it sure was a fast ride but very smooth. I'm loving it - it sure is worth every penny.
One of our friends actually had 6 people in the Speedster and they were flying. Don't know how fast they were but it sure looked fast looking at it skipping across the water.
Sounds like a good time was had by all.... I hate to be a stick in the mud, but remember that your Speedster has a US Coast Guard rating of 4 persons... for a reason. The boat may be capable of 6 folks, but the marine police may frown on that.....just be safe.
If you want a accurate speed measurement, get a cheap GPS and take her out. You may be surprised at what you see.
Thanks Tiggerman - I told them that and warned them that they could be ticketed by the Ranger and they told me they'd be responsible for it if they get it. Luckily, it was between shift so there were no patrol out in the water because their boat was in the dock.
The lake we took the boat to has strict rules that you cannot spin your boat 180 degrees, 360 degrees, no radical maneuvers, etc. I was warned the first time I did a spin move (actually it was the first time I was caught but was probably the 10th time that morning!!!). The Ranger was nice enough to let me go with a warning after I explained to him that I just bought the boat and was my first time there and I was trying the maneuver in case of an emergency. I wanted to make sure that I understand how the boat operate and so on and so forth!!! Most of it was actually true.

The cellular microenvironment provides cells with information essential for controling development , cell-specific fate determination, gain or loss of tissue-specific functions, cell migrations, tissue repair and cell death. We are studying the role of the microenvironment in controlling embryonic development, mammary gland and bone development and tumorigenesis. Our interests include the critical roles that the ECM, inflammatoryand innate immune cells, vascular development and angiogenesis and degradative enzymes such as the matrix metalloproteinases play in these processes. We are taking genetic and molecular approaches to determine the identity and function of the critical molecules, how their expression and activities are regulated, what the molecular and cellular targets of these genes are, and how these regulate the signaling pathways. We are studying how a developing vascular system regulates bone formation, breast development and tumor growth. For example, we have found that tumor cells metastasize in regions of the tumor where blood vessels are abnormal and where there are abundant inflammatory cells. We want to understand the temporal, spatial and causal relationship between these three compartments, and whether targeting the tumors cells, blood vessels or the inflammatory cells, or all of them can slow down metastasis.

A mistrial was declared in a homicide trial that stemmed from a fatal shooting that took place near a party in East Oakland in 2017 as reported by East Bay Times.
After three days of deliberation by a 12-person jury, all 12 jurors voted in favor of guilt, but not all determined the guilt was beyond a reasonable doubt-the standard for a criminal conviction. Since all 12 jurors could not provide a unanimous decision, a mistrial was declared.
A mistrial happens when a trial is terminated prior to reaching a verdict. There are several grounds for moving for a mistrial including: Prosecutorial misconduct; Jury misconduct and jury deadlock (when a unanimous decision cannot be made by the jury with regard to a defendant’s guilt); Jury’s inability to reach a verdict due to a physical cause or illness beyond the court’s control; and Erroneous admission of incurably prejudicial evidence, among other reasons.
Both prosecution and defense counsel can move for a mistrial. If a mistrial is declared, there are several things that can happen: the prosecution can dismiss the charges, a plea bargain or agreement can be made, or a new trial is set.
The criminal defense attorneys at Bay Area Criminal Lawyers, PC are experienced trial attorneys and have obtained favorable outcomes in trials heard in Oakland, Hayward, and other Alameda County courts, including a complete acquittal of first-degree murder charges heard out of the Rene C. Davidson courthouse. When facing a mistrial or determining how to proceed after a mistrial has been declared, it is imperative to contact a criminal defense attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable of handling jury trials in Oakland.

Hi, haven't posted in a while, but usually around.
I am planning on going to Europe for a 5 country trip. I have limited time and must maximize my time in Belgium. We are definately going to Bruges, spending 2 days there. I've been to Brussels before, and not terribly interested in Antwerp.
I think I have it narrowed down to either Gent or Brussels.
So which do you think is better for beer pubs (number, quality, uniqueness) and town atmosphere? I'm leaning towards Gent. What is your opinion?

From beginner to professional. Find your ideal sound based on your structure and resonance capability.
Susanna has studied piano since the age of 5, and has been fortunate to study with the late Professor Danielle Martin at the University of Texas. Susanna has her Bachelor's Degree in music for the University of Texas and has taught piano and voice since 2004. She enjoys working with people and uses her patience and perceptiveness to communicate music to others. Susanna is a church musician and was a member of the University of Texas Longhorn Singers and also attended Berklee College of Music studying jazz and popular music.
r singers breathing technique as well.
My children love her, she is very kind, helpful, and responsive to questions.
Ms. Susanna is very professional and attentive. She is patient and kind. I am happy to be having my lessons with her.
I have been taking lessons with Susanna for close to 6 months and she has been a great teacher. I feel a lot more confident in my singing ability and I look forward to each lesson. I learn something new everytime. I am completely new to singing and she makes sure that you are comfortable in the environment and caters to your needs and what you would like to work on.
I have been teaching singing for over 22 years, using my unique "Yoga for the Voice" technique to students ages 4-90 at all levels. My students have sung on national television shows (X Factor, etc.), the Grand Ole Opry, for Motown, for touring professional bands, and for professional musical theater. "Yoga for the Voice" combines my studies in classical singing with yoga breathing and many other effective singing techniques from my studies with the top voice coaches in the world.
For many years I sang in my school Chamber Choir and took voice lessons. The choir performed regularly in pubic and in statewide competitions. I also have years of experience teaching the basics of singing in a low pressure way.
Topics we learn about include breathing and breath control, pitch and intervals, keys and scales and singing harmony. I can accompany a student while they sing, and hopefully teach them the basics of accompanying themselves.
Each lesson is uniquely tailored for the specific needs of the student and I want each lesson to be fun! It is always important to remember music is fun not scary. I like to go through breathing techniques and vocal warm ups every lesson. After we do exercises I like to have the student practice a song of choice. The student and I usually come together to find a goal for the student to work towards each lesson and actively work towards this goal each time we meet.
You can choose the songs you love and want to work on if you wish. Once I get to know you, I will suggest some of the songs for you. If you write your own songs, I would be happy to help you to improve on your songs.

I have sang in quite a few choirs, musicals, and small acapella groups, but hadn't sang for quite a few years. He has successfully drawn my voice back out and helped me break several bad habits. I intended to only take a few lessons from Jameson, but now don't have any intention of stopping lessons anytime soon. Now even my husband has taken a few singing lessons from him to tune up his voice before singing at a few weddings this summer.
I would recommend Jameson as a teacher for anyone looking to achieve any goal with their singing! He's a wonderful teacher."

"Jameson is the reason that I have improved on my singing.
finitely feel more confident in my singing. Jameson really makes a singer make a song his or her own by the way that he incorporates feelings and actions. The Alexander Technique really helps in singing and in every day activities."

The New England Tigers maintained their perfect Region 7 mark with three wins in the Region tournament last week. New England’s first tournament win knocked Hazen out of the tournament and their second knocked out Hettinger-Scranton, setting up a showdown with the Dickinson Trinity Titans.
Trinity got to the finals by topping Killdeer and Heart River during their first two tournament games, but getting a third tournament win proved too tough even though Trinity was playing on its home floor. They fell 58-48, giving New England a coveted state playoff berth.
The game was typical of a Region 7 championship game with both teams alternating turns in the lead but, at the end of three rounds, New England was slightly ahead 40-37. New England came out looking like a boxer or UFC fighter in the final round of a close bout.
New England was looking for the knock-out punch and started the quarter on a 6-2 run that had deceiving importance. The run put New England up 46-39 with about five minutes left in the game.
Trinity responded with a Brock Messer put-back basket with 3:40 left, cutting New England’s lead to five, 46-41. But Trinity 3-point marksman Willy Jahner couldn’t deliver the momentum counter 3-pointer to pull Trinity within two.
New England attacked off the Trinity miss, adding two buckets and making the score 50-41. Trinity Head Coach Gregg Grinsteinner called a timeout to regroup and give a final push with 2:06 left in the game, but it was too late.

The news this week is that 2015 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record – with global temperatures averaging almost 1oC above normal. For people in some parts of the world, this might still seem like a technical measurement, or a future concern. For us in Oceania, it is rapidly becoming a matter of life or death.
The children of Papua New Guinea fishing in the Bismarck sea near the future site of an undersea mine.
In the Pacific, we received with joy and relief the recognition by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’ of climate change as one of the principal challenges facing humanity today. We in the Pacific are on the frontline of climate change.
Our region was hit hard by three super-cyclones in 2015. Cyclone Pam in March was the region’s second most intense storm on record. Of six Pacific nations badly affected, Vanuatu was the hardest hit: 15,000 homes destroyed and 70 per cent of its 250,000 population affected.
Now, our region is taking a second hit as a severe El Nino takes effect – expecting to bring drought until March to most Pacific islands, though Kiribati and Tuvalu face higher than average rainfall, and the whole region faces greater risk of cyclones. Already, 90,000 people are receiving emergency food in Vanuatu due to the combined effects of cyclone Pam and El Nino, while Tonga is predicting 80 per cent of locally grown taro will be damaged by the weather phenomenon that brings extreme weather to much of the planet.
Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand is bringing these stories and others to the world’s attention through our environmental research and advocacy. In our first Caritas State of the Environment in Oceania report released on St Francis Day (4th October) we are amplifying the voices of the most vulnerable. They deserve to be heard.
Our neighbours on low-lying atolls such as Kiribati and Tuvalu have told us this year of more frequent and stronger King tides. Caritas partners in Papua New Guinea speak to us of widespread relocation of people due to coastal erosion and flooding – affecting about 6,000 people a year in Papua New Guinea. Yet there is little comprehensive data on total numbers of people affected in such ways around the Pacific.
While funds may be available to repair major infrastructure, ordinary people in the Pacific are largely having to fend for themselves. For example, the village of Tebunginako on Abaiang atoll in Kiribati gets flooded every high tide. The people have got used to it and when high tide comes, they put all their things in high places. “For them, it’s now part of their life,” says Parish priest Fr Buutonga Nakuau. They know they can’t carry on like this forever, so are searching for land elsewhere on Abaiang, but they will need funds to buy the land.
Climate finance is increasing in the Pacific, but it is still far below what is needed. Financial flows to developing nations are probably only about 10 percent of what is needed. Though there are some very good projects – such as aid schemes to provide comprehensive solar power to smaller islands like those in Tokelau and the Cook Islands, there are also some questionable allocations being made in the name of climate finance.
These include our own government’s New Zealand Aid Programme providing $21,000 (€12,700) to a second jetty for cruise ships in the Cook Islands, and more than $5.5 million (€3.3 million) towards rehabilitation of three runways in the Solomon Islands, on the justification it would “reduce aviation fuel loads”. While these projects may ameliorate climate change impacts to the economies of those countries, they clearly do not help the most vulnerable people address the erosion of coastlines, loss of food or water or protect them against extreme weather.
We face significant challenges, but as Pope Francis reminds us “All is not lost.” We are still capable of finding a solution that protects the Earth and all of us who live and depend on the Earth. The Paris climate summit is a key moment in finding that solution. I look forward to bringing the voices of Oceania to Paris.

Normally, over 80% of the energy produced by the body is derived from the combustion of carbohydrates. When carbohydrate metabolism is severely limited, the cells begin to oxidize fat reserves for energy. Also, proteins are degraded to amino acids which in turn are converted to glucose in an attempt to support energy production. If excessive fat metabolism occurs in conjunction with inadequate carbohydrate metabolism, there are inadequate amounts of metabolites to react with acetyl CoA, in turn leading to excess levels of acetyl CoA. The increased levels of acetyl CoA produces a build up of ketone bodies, leading to ketosis. Since ketone bodies are also acids, this leads to a condition known as acidosis. Severe acidosis, if not counteracted, can result in coma and death.
In a healthy individual, blood glucose concentrations are maintained within a normal range through the processes of glycogenolysis, glycolysis, glycogenesis, and gluconeogenesis. The regulation of blood glucose levels is mainly under the control of the pancreatic hormones, insulin and glucagon. After a meal, blood glucose levels rise and trigger the release of insulin into the blood stream from the pancreatic beta cells. The released insulin into the blood steam enables glucose to be absorbed into the liver and muscle tissue and stores the excess glucose in the form of glycogen (glycogenesis). When blood glucose levels begin decreasing overnight or because of a lack of food ingestion or due to heavy exercise, the pancreatic alpha cells begin releasing glucagon into the blood stream. Glucagon signals the liver and muscle tissue to degrade or breakdown the stored glycogen into glucose which then enters the bloodstream and raises blood glucose levels (glycogenolysis). As the body needs more glucose, glucagon stimulates the liver to produce more glucose from amino acids (gluconeogenesis).
