The company wanted to promote their brand by incentivising their follower base and approaching new potential customers via a giveaway campaign on a special date in the retail calendar.
Whichit has done it again!
Whichit has been awarded £246,426 in funding from the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK as part of SMART 2014-2015 scheme competition. The competition is aimed at SMEs carrying out R&D, which offers potentially significant rewards and could stimulate UK economic growth.
Whichit’s CEO, Jonathan Gan, was invited as a representative of the technology and startup sector for a Business Leaders Reception at 10 Downing Street, with the honour of being hosted by the UK Prime Minister Mr. David Cameron. There were representatives from different aspects of the UK private sector – from entrepreneurs to investors and CEOs as well as from the media and government.
The PM spoke about the importance of business development and the government’s support for this, and expressed his gratitude for the role those in attendance had played in this initiative.
During the event, Jonathan spoke to business leaders such as Brent Hoberman and Steven Cohen as well as the Prime Minister himself. They discussed Whichit’s move from Israel to Great Britain and Jonathan took the opportunity to personally thank the Prime Minister for the Sirius Program and all the support Whichit has received from UK Trade & Investment.
Overall it was a great evening that once again demonstrated the impact high growth companies such as Whichit, have on the UK economy. We’ve demonstrated our significant contribution to the business sector while thriving in a great ecosystem provided by the Innovation Warehouse and Accelerator Academy. It was heartwarming to view the level of attention and support the government places on strengthening the technology sector and an honour to Whichit to be part of it.
As Mobile World congress 2015 comes to an end, Whichit‘s team took a step back to think about what 2015 holds for all of us in terms of innovation. One things for sure… The Internet of Things stole the show.
It was overwhelming to see all the products that will one day control our lives all presented in one hall in Mobile World Congres. Walking between the stands gave us the feeling that one day everything we wear and do will be connected, from wearable tech such as smart watches, glasses and bracelets, to home products such as Ikea’s light charger, where by just simply putting your phone on your bedside at night will charge it. The feeling became stronger as we realised this is not the future but it is right now.
From Start-Up Nation to Great Britain.
Whichit is an Israeli startup company who won the UKTI (UK Trade & Investment) competition for high growth startups, who are also taking part in the Sirius Programme for young entrepreneurs, of which the Accelerator Academy, one of the top accelerators in the UK, is a core part. Whichit is based at Innovation Warehouse, in central London.

On February 02, Russia announced that it, too, would suspend adherence to the treaty, sparking fears of a renewed arms race reminiscent of the Cold War.
China wants Russia and the U.S. to remain in the treaty while arguing against expanding its scope or mandate to include Beijing’s nuclear weapons program.
The widely expected move highlights the trend of Washington moving away from Cold War-era frameworks that proved essential to decades of stability.
The treaties on missile defense and nuclear deterrence negotiated between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War avoided escalation and kept that war relatively ‘cold’. However, as the United States moves toward a more unilateral posture, those treaties are being discarded as relics of a bygone era. The latest example is the de facto end of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). For months, the U.S. has stated that, if Russia failed to end an ongoing pattern of INF violations dating back five years, Washington would suspend its adherence to the 32-year treaty. Russia consistently denied any proscribed activity and so on February 1, the U.S. announced it was pausing its observation of the INF treaty while leaving a six-month window before its official termination.
In announcing the U.S. decision, which was long expected given the consistent statements by senior officials (and even NATO leadership), Secretary of State Mike Pompeo offered that the U.S. ‘can no longer be restricted by the treaty while Russia shamelessly violates it.’ NATO released a statement that concurred with the U.S. position, placing responsibility for the unraveling treaty squarely on Moscow. At a February 2 appearance, Russian President Putin declared that Russia would also suspend adherence to the treaty and begin developing weapons outlawed by the INF. Putin went on to state that Russia would not seek new talks with the U.S., preferring instead to wait until the U.S. and NATO were prepared to engage in a more ‘meaningful and substantive’ dialogue. The U.S. is now building its first long-range nuclear weapons since 1991, a move that has not gone unnoticed by other countries seeking to modernize their own arsenals.
The INF addressed one of the most important issues dominating the global security agenda: dealing with and effectively deterring the threat of nuclear war. In the 1980s, the Soviet Union possessed an overwhelming advantage in troop numbers in Europe, so the U.S. needed a credible deterrent to forestall a potential Soviet invasion of a NATO allied-country. Still, the deterrent had to stop short of triggering all-out nuclear Armageddon between Washington and Moscow. To that end, the U.S. developed and began to station a land-based nuclear missile in Europe that could provide a credible deterrence to prevent the Red Army from flowing across the Fulda Gap in an all-out ground invasion. The Soviet Union had earlier announced the development of its own land-based intermediate range missile. The threat of these weapons being employed was so great that it led to years of serious negotiations that culminated with President Reagan and President Gorbachev signing the INF treaty.
When the INF was signed, Russia and the U.S. were the only two countries with mature intermediate-range nuclear capabilities. Now, China and others such as Pakistan, India, and North Korea, are thought to have such capability—and they are not bound by the INF treaty. China has stated that Russia and the U.S. should adhere to the INF and objects to any efforts to expand the treaty beyond its current scope. China’s exclusion from the INF is as important a factor in the U.S. decision as the consistent Russian violations. The entire construct of nuclear arms control is at risk again, unfolding against the backdrop of a Western alliance in decay, due in part to deliberate U.S. policies. There is no immediate plan to revive talks aimed at crafting a new and comprehensive agreement, something that would be incredibly difficult given the number and diversity of countries involved. Without an aggressive push to begin negotiations toward this end, however, the abrogation of the INF could galvanize a new arms race, making the threats faced during the Cold War seem modest by comparison.

PARAMUS, New Jersey (WABC) -- Eyewitness News has obtained video of a raging school bus fire in New Jersey that prompted the evacuation of 22 students Monday.
Authorities say the driver safely evacuated the 22 Paramus High School students minutes before the bus became engulfed in flames.
Jose Rodriguez, of Paterson, had just picked up the students when he saw smoke. Police say the fire began in the bus engine compartment, and Rodriguez pulled over in front of Eastbrook Middle School and ordered everyone to evacuate through the rear.
Police say the fire doesn't appear suspicious. No one was hurt.
Fire engines from Paramus Engine Company 2 and Engine Company 2 responded and extinguished the blaze, which totally consumed the bus.
Firefighters responded and extinguished the blaze, which totally consumed the bus.
As a result of the fire, approximately 20 to 40 gallons of diesel fuel was spilled on to the roadway and an adjoining parking lot, which required the response of the Paramus and Bergen County HazMat teams.
Spring Valley Road was totally closed for approximately 3 hours.

National Tsing Hua University recently celebrated her 107th anniversary and the 62nd anniversary of its reestablishment in Taiwan. The ceremony was attended by many members of NTHU’s first baccalaureate class in Taiwan who graduated 50 years ago. During the ceremony NTHU President Hocheng Hong pointed out that a new building for the College of Education and the College of Arts will soon be built next to the College of Technology Management in the South Campus, heralding "the new era of ‘Tsing Hua 3.0,’ a new starting point initiated by the joint efforts of the global Tsing Hua community!"
The school was founded in 1911 (the same year as the Republic of China) in Beijing as Tsinghua College. When the school was reestablished in 1956 in Hsinchu as NTHU, at first only graduate programs were offered. It was in 1964 that undergraduate programs were also reestablished, which at first consisted of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and the Department of Mathematics. The first batch of undergraduate students graduated in 1968, which was 50 years ago.
Representing the class of 1968, Hsu Ming-teh of the Department of Nuclear Engineering said that while strolling around the campus with his classmates yesterday they noticed that the two rows of cypress trees in front of the Mei Garden had grown tall, while the large lawn at the entrance where they used to do morning exercises, as well as the weeping willows next to the lake, had remained the same. But when they saw the dormitory where they used to live they were all struck with the new facilities that were installed and made available to its current residents.
Hsu said that after half a century, the school really has changed a lot—new buildings, an additional lawn at the south campus, and the merger with National Hsinchu University of Education (NHCUE)—but he looks forward to seeing the current student body carry on the traditional Tsing Hua spirit.
In his speech President Hocheng said that the merger with NHCUE one and a half years ago has brought about a remarkable increase in diversity and innovation. For example, as part of the anniversary celebration, the Dean of College of Arts, Prof. Hsu Su-chu organized the “Tsing Hua Effects 2018—IoT Technology and Art Festival,” which highlights the “internet of things” and its potential for stimulating creativity. The focus of the second phase of the merger will be the construction of a new building for the College of Education and College of Arts and, the university has acquired 6 hectares of land on the west side of the College of Technology Management for this new building.
President Hocheng said that the history of NTHU can be divided into three phases. The first 40 years can be called “Tsing Hua 1.0.” During this phase Tsing Hua College was established in Beijing with the mission of modernizing China and reducing the culture gap between China and the West. During the second phase, “Tsing Hua 2.0,” which began in the 1960s, the two Tsing Huas—one in Beijing and one in Taiwan—developed separately, first emphasizing science and engineering, and later adding departments in other fields. During the third phase, “Tsing Hua 3.0,” in light of the changing economic environment and social structure, the emphasis has been shifted to educational diversity and interdisciplinary studies and research.
Alumni Association President Yongfen Hsieh said that the merger with NHCUE has brought about a number of changes on campus, adding that the many difficulties encountered during the early phase of the transition process have actually contributed to the school’s development. On behalf of the Alumni Association she congratulated the President and all the administrative teams for a job well done.
Also present at the ceremony was Shyy Wei, who received his B.S. degree in the dept. of Power Mechanical Engineering and is appointed as the next President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). In his speech he said that in this time of great social and political change, universities need to be more aware of their social responsibilities, and encouraged today’s students to seize the opportunity to actively participate in and contribute to all spheres of society.
Dr. Shyy Wei also pointed out that studying at university is amongst the most memorable and unique experiences in life. He said that even though college students are adults with many rights, they are still protected and at the same time, the society and the school give them a great deal of support and care but all these will be gone after they graduate. He urged all NTHU students to make the most of their time at school by participating in extracurricular activities as much as possible.
Shyy Wei also said that while he was a student at NTHU President Mei often stated that university education should emphasize democracy, freedom, and independency, and that while democracy and freedom are well-understood, true independency must be based on reason, logic, discussion, and thorough consideration.
This year's Outstanding Alumni Award was awarded to three outstanding alumni: Douglas Yu, who earned his bachelor degree in 1977 from the Department of Physics and his master degree in 1979 from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and won the Presidential Science Prize last year; Yen Powen who received his bachelor degree from the Department of Chemical Engineering in 1980; and Rick Shen, who received his bachelor degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering in 1992 and his Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical Engineering in 1998.
Currently the vice President of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Douglas Yu said that receiving the Outstanding Alumni Award from the illustrious NTHU is a great honor. He thanked his teachers at NTHU and said he hopes to work hard and make his alma mater proud of him.
Yen Powen, former CEO of the United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), said that he is highly honored to receive the Award. Yen currently serves as the CEO of the Tzu Chi Foundation, which was founded in Taiwan 52 years ago, and now has offices in 93 countries and regions around the world. He said that Tzu Chi’s charity work is a kind of citizen diplomacy which also brings out the best in people, and that he looks forward to using his new role to initiate increased cooperation between Tzu Chi and NTHU.
Rick Shen is the general manager of eMemory Technology. In his speech he said that the ten years he spent studying at NTHU had a profound impact on his life and career, and that he credits his achievements to all that he learned during that time, adding that he plans to continue striving for the benefit of his alma mater, associates, and loved ones.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the Meichu Tournament, and everyone has been talking about how the coveted Meichu Trophy has come back to NTHU after an eight-year hiatus. The contestants were on hand at the ceremony to present the Meichu Trophy to NTHU, along with the individual trophies won in six of this year's ten official competitions: table tennis, baseball, women's basketball, chess, bridge, and women's volleyball.
Also during this year’s celebration a number of outstanding student clubs were feted, including the Chorus, the NTHU Ambassadors, the Cheerleading Squad, and the Science Service Club. The Tsing Hua Cheerleading Squad, which has been in existence for nearly half a century, won first place in last year’s University Cheerleading Competition and was invited to perform at the National Day Celebration; the squad also put on a dazzling performance at this year’s Meichu Tournament. The members of the Science Service Club prepare teaching materials and conduct science education activities in rural secondary schools.
Numerous NTHU alumni attended the celebration.

1500 BC - Present Day - - Boruca, indigenous of Costa Rica.
This information was gathered from several websites, mainly from the National Museum of Costa Rica and from Wikipedia's information on the various Spanish explorer's. To my knowledge it is as accurate as possible. It is writen in different segments, as these are articles for the local magazine, sorry for any repeated information.
The Diquis delta which is located just south of the Costa Ballena, is one of the most important deltas of Central America from both the biological and cultural perspective. We will discuss the cultural aspect. Diquis in the native dialect of the Teribe (Terraba indigenous) means “great water”. The Valley of Diquis is bordered to the north by the Grand Terraba river (the largest in Costa Rica), to the east by the Talamanca mountains, the Osa peninsula to the south, the Bay of Coronado to the west on the Pacific, (named for the Spanish explorer Juan Vazquez de Coronado 1563), and at the heart of the delta, is the Rio Sierpe.
Archeologists have found evidence of this area being populated as far back as 1500BC. From 1500-300BC there was just basic tribal living based on family relations of kinship.
From 300BC-800AD there began gradual changes to chiefdom organization with the presence of a chief, religious leaders, specialized artisans and stronger territorial divisions and exchange networks.
From 800AD until the Spanish arrived in 1500, villages increased in size and complexity. Ceramic, bone, gold and stone objects were manufactured as expressions of power and status of the ruling groups. Sculpture reached its greatest development during this period, featuring the stone spheres placed in important zones of the village reinforcing the power of religious and political leaders.
On a sub-regional level an entire communication system permitted the exchange of products from the coast to the high lands between the different extended chiefdom communities using the Terraba river and its tributaries covering over 900 hectares.
Hence, both the Boruca (Rey Curre) and Terraba indigenous became dugout canoe builders, traversing the grand river with crops and animals, and to the Pacific coast where the Borucans gathered the murex seasnail for their purple dye. The canoes were seaworthy, which will become very valuable with the arrival of the conquistadors.
Very hard chapters are known of the Boruca people's history. They were successful in keeping their territory by scaring the conquistadors away by wearing devilish looking masks, however the Spaniards conquest of Costa Rica was of long duration, the Conquistadors did not give up! The Diquis region (southern border of Costa Ballena), became an important gold mining center, a fact that brought raids and warfare with other indigenous groups. Columbus reported back to Spain that he had found a land rich in gold, hence further explorations to this area. In 1506, a ship of colonists led by Diego de Nicuesa landed, the local indigenous tribes burnt their crops. More explorers continued to arrive. In 1522 the Spaniard, Gil Gonzalez Davila explored the interior starting in the Gulf of Nicoya with over 100 men, traveled to Burica point, (the southernmost point of Costa Rica), where the Spaniards received collaboration from some indigenous chiefs, and the indigenous were made slaves. The first settlements failed.
Spain then to attract new settlers to the struggling colonies established a program called “encomienda system”- this was a estate given to a settler who received legal rights to use local native people to work the land, unpaid. In 1561, the first successful settlement was established in the Central Valley by explorer Juan Vasquez de Coronado, this was Cartago, which became Costa Rica's first capitol and he became the first governor; he was one of the most relevant characters of Costa Rican history. Coronado made peace with a local Indian chief, who persuaded several other chiefs to cooperate with the Spaniards. Despite this agreement many of the remaining tribes fled from the valleys and coasts into the nearly inaccessible Talamanca range.
In 1601, Gonzalo Vazquez de Coronado, (son of Juan Vazquez) officially opened “the Camino Real” ,or also known as the Camino de Mulas, (the Mule Road), which connected Guatemala with all the provinces as far as Panama. Mules, precious cargo carriers, were raised in the Central Valley and used for transporting goods were driven all the way to Panama, which had become the transit route for precious metals from South America to Spain. The teams of mules would pass thru the indigenous villages of Quepo, Boruca and Terraba. By 1629 The Borucans were “reduced” under Spanish dominance, as the natives were transformed into muleteers and providers of tributes for the Spanish, especially corn, beans, textiles, dyes of textiles and boat construction.
.Founder of Cartago and first Governor of Costa Rica.
" The roughest mountains I have ever seen. Intolerable conditions of hunger and thirst slowed our attempts to slice narrow pathways, and to climb and descend great peaks, so cavernous and drenced in rain that the sight of the sun was a marvel."
On the return journey to spain to get his official title of Governor, his ship was lost. His son Gonzalo, was later the governor also. Gonzalo was the builder of the "Mule road", an important route linking the central valley of Costa Rica with Panama.
Black slave trade was common in all the Spanish colony's. Around 1580 -1600 African slaves were imported to Costa Rica, as the indigenous Indians were not reliable, the Spaniards never knew when there were to be an uprising, or if they would just escape into the rugged Talamanca mountains. The black slaves were used as muleteers, when Governor Gonzalo Vasquez de Coronado (son of Juan Vasquez), in 1601 officially opened the “mule road” from Cartago to Panama, a journey of roughly 25 days. The journey passed thru the indigenous villages of Quepo, Boruca, and Terraba, where the travelers were supplied with food and indigenous muleteers. There became interbreeding between the Blacks and the Indigenous, the children were then known as Mestizo, a person who had a dual cultural heritage and descent.
As a tradition in Boruca, especially at Rey Curre on the shores of the Terraba river, is the “Baile de Los Negritos” or also referred to as “La Mura”. Mura is the Mestizo name for Mule.
With their charcoal-lined faces, hats made from palm leaf and adorned with feathers and animal hides of their natural environment, the Dance of the Negritos, is a tradition that represents a mixture of merging between Boruca and religious Catholicism.
It begins every December 6 at midnight till dawn dancing to the rhythm of the drum, flute and accordion. The participants dance in the form of a circle and suddenly in a linear way, a style that they handle in a very coordinated way.
At dawn on December 7 and 8, the Negroes start their tour of the town; when they arrive at each house, the black faces dance non-stop for about five minutes and the mule - made of wood and painted also in black - is handled by one of its participants and during its performances it also makes movements like the others of the group. The Negritos dance in silence and only occasionally emit a mule-like sound braying. Then the game stops and the participants express themselves in a language exclusive to this tradition, (that of the Mestizo culture), “Chiñola, Chiñola, la mura tiene ched, chí, tiene ched”, which in english would be, Señora, señora, the mule, He is thirsty, yes he is thirsty. This request makes the hosts of each house that receives these Negritos give them chicha (a fermented alcohol), and tamales.
In past times, this tradition had a closer link with the religious activities of the community. On every December 8, the community of Boruca celebrate the feast day of their patron saint, the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception with the costumed dances, the mule and traditional music, which distill cheerful and harmonious sounds.
At present, the Baile de los Negritos does not gather as many followers as the Danza de Diablitos, but the whole community recognizes it as a tradition that reminds them of the past hard history; unfortunately, it faces the risk of extinction, despite being an element that helps to identify and differentiate the Borucans in Costa Rica.

Writing a dissertation is going to provide a type of academic challenge that many students have never faced before. The large pool of research papers and term papers a student has written in their lives pale in comparison to this document that is going to be their dissertation. The paper that provides a PhD is the moment that a student is supposed to be transformed into a scholar and that can provide a lot of pressure. It also is going to be a rather lengthy paper that can run into the hundreds when it comes to page count. It only makes sense that a person might need to hire a little professional help in order to get their paper done as best they can. The problem is how to choose a reliable PhD dissertation service.
There are many websites a person will come across as they search for the right writing partner for their dissertation. One of the first things that a PhD candidate should do is to call the number on the website and see what kind of response they get. If a company is well organized then it will begin by the initial contact. If they are not very organized in placing you into a sales funnel and getting you hooked up with a writer then they are probably not going to be the place for you. A good company will have you hooked up with a talented writer who can handle all of your dissertation needs quickly and easily.
As a person evaluates a writing agency online there are going to be some telltale signs that reveal the legitimacy of the operation and they really can’t be faked. One is the one hundred percent guarantee on their work. A dissertation is the capstone on a splendid academic career and is going to display a person’s expertise in their subject area of concentration. The writing assistance in organization and creativity should not always have the option of revision right up to the last moment the dissertation is finished.
Secondly there should a writer pool that is deep and experienced when it comes to putting someone’s academic ideas into a dissertation form. A person who has done this before is going to be able to create the in depth type of explanation and writing that is going to be required. All of your work needs to be original and based solely on your research. Having an experienced writer and editor on call for you is going to be the difference in the acceptance your thoughts are going to get.

QDM Style: Corporate Stays Montreal: A review of my home away from home!
Corporate Stays Montreal: A review of my home away from home!
I’ve mentioned a number of times that where you stay can make or break a vacation (or at least staying at the right place can greatly improve a holiday!). This is even more true for us in our hometown of Montreal, Canada which we visit at least twice a year. In the past we would usually stay with family but since we now have a baby we preferred having our own space.
For the last 2 summers we’ve planned our holidays around the Montreal Jazz Festival (the largest in the world). It’s hosted in the Quartier International of downtown. When looking for a place to stay we made a list of what we wanted in a place; walking distance to the jazz festival, shopping and metro system, a separate bedroom for when Julian needed to take his naps, a full kitchen, washer and dryer to do laundry as we were going to be there for 2-3 weeks, a balcony and an amazing view. Essentially we needed a full apartment.
A friend recommended we check out CorporateStays, an executive housing solution he had used for some of his clients when visiting Montreal… we did, and it was the best decision we made!
Super friendly and helpful staff, they had a number of different buildings and accommodation options spread around the city (and other cities too, check out the link here.
We decided on renting a 1-bedroom condo at the V Montreal for the last 2 years, which is located just across the street from the Complexe Desjardins (a medium sized mall with everything we needed; groceries, pharmacy, food court and access to the famous Montreal underground city and metro system). What’s even better is that it wasjust 1 street away from the Jazz Festival, in the heart of downtown Montreal and a 5-10mins walk to almost anywhere downtown; the festival, the shopping, the restaurants and Old Montreal.
The building is stunning and has 24/7 security and key cards for accessing both the front door and elevator. There’ a fantastic pool, a full gym and even a concierge service!
The apartment was gorgeous! It was modern with a full kitchen, walk-in closet and floor to ceiling windows with a perfect view of the city. The balcony was facing the mountain and the Jazz Festival had a stage in the park across the street! We enjoyed beautiful sunset views and concerts every evening from our balcony!
And I loved waking up every morning to the full view of the city bustling to life.
My sister in law lent us a baby walker for Julian and he absolutely loved it! He was so excited, he didn’t want to miss a thing – he even wanted to be part of the apartment photoshoot!
If you’re ever in Montreal for the Jazz Festival or any other time, I’d highly recommend CorporateStays.com, I’ve never been disappointed in the last 2 years I've been staying there!

A recent article in The Guardian revealed that sleep deprivation and loss of sleep can actually shorten a person’s life. Lack of sleep can have a detrimental effect on everything from people’s immune system to blood sugar levels to people’s heart health. And sleep is just as crucial for your mental health. The same article refers to sleep as a “soothing balm”. Deep, quality sleep is therapeutic for the soul and allows us to release bottled-up up emotions. Because of this, sleep can make tough experiences like divorce easier to bear and help us to heal. Sleep deprivation has also been linked to mental disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, addiction and mood swings in children and adults.
But enough of the heavy talk!
If you are going through a divorce or family law case then there is enough serious talk in your life right now. Make sure you set aside time to relax and indulge in ‘me time’. If you are a parent, then you might not remember what ‘me time’ is, but try to think of it as the first step to helping your children. You are much better equipped to help others if you are calm, balanced and well rested. The tips below are specially designed to help you overcome stress and learn to relax and sleep.
Some foods can help you get to sleep at night and others are going to keep you up. It’s particularly important that you avoid caffeine after mid-afternoon. Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant that stays in the body up to 8 hours after it is consumed. So, if you are prone to lying in bed at night with your mind running a thousand miles an hour, then it’s time to give up that late night cuppa.
Experts suggest keeping the same bedtime and waking time every day to get the best sleep possible. But let’s face it – this is not always possible in the real world. Life tends to get in the way of the best laid plans. So, don’t be too hard on yourself. Do what you can to set aside 8 hours for uninterrupted sleep every night. It won’t always happen, but just scheduling the time shows that sleep is a priority for you and after a while it will become a habit.
We hear it all the time but it is so hard to do. Try reading a book or magazine in the hour (or even half an hour) before bed. If you are not a bookworm then do something you find relaxing, such as yoga, taking a bath or talking about your day with your partner. If there are chores that you must do, like folding the washing, then do them in a deliberate, relaxed manner. Practice focusing completely on the task at hand, whatever it is, and be present in that moment. Avoid TV, computers and mobiles while in bed as the blue light from device screens can interfere with your natural body clock. Put your phone on aeroplane mode while you are asleep to curb the temptation of checking emails and social media.
Your bedroom should be cool, dark and quiet when you are trying to sleep. If something is not right in your sleep environment consider trying ear plugs, eye masks, blackout curtains, or a white noise machine. A fan or airconditioner is a good way to keep the room cool, while also providing gentle white noise to help you relax and fall asleep. Your mattress and pillows should be comfortable and your bed clothes and bedding should be loose and breathable. Natural fabrics, such as cotton, are best for this.
We are all tempted to look at the time as we struggle to sleep at night. Do you ever look at the clock at 1am and think in a panic ‘now I only have 5 1/2 hours to sleep’? Shockingly, this does not help us relax and get to sleep at all. Looking at the clock will only stress you out when you need to be winding down. Another reason this is not advised is that most of us use our mobiles to tell the time in bed. Picking up your phone exposes you to wakeful blue light as well as tempting you with notifications and distractions.
Essential oils have been proven to help with relaxation. Lavender oil is often a primary ingredient in sleep aromatherapy oil blends and candles. The scent of lavender eases anxiety and insomnia. Studies have shown that lavender may slow the activity of the nervous system, thus inducing a feeling of calm. So, pop some lavender oil or essential oil sleep blend in a diffuser or dab a little on your pillow to help you rest at night.
Deep breathing has a calming effect on the body which makes it a great exercise for bed time. For this reason, you will find deep breathing exercises incorporated into most relaxation techniques for sleep. Try to focus on controlling and slowing your breathing. A specific method you can try is called the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Put simply, you breathe in to the count of 4, hold your breath to the count of 7 and then exhale to the count of 8. Breath in through your nose and when exhaling put your tongue to the roof of your mouth to obstruct the airway slightly. Your exhalation should make an audible ‘whoosh’ sound. Repeat the cycle a total of 4 times.
Unpacking your mind is very common when you get into bed. There are many different relaxation techniques you can try to stop your mind stressing at night. Different things work for different people. You may wish to try guided meditation or hypnotherapy. You can find plenty of these recordings on the web. Progressive muscle relaxation is also a good technique to try out. It involves tensing and then releasing different muscle groups in the body. It works on your body by focusing on letting muscle tension go and it also helps your mind to focus on your body rather than wandering off on tangents.
Ultimately, remember that divorce and separation are stressful, but won’t last forever, so be kind to yourself.

FILE - Oscar Pistorius sits in the high court for the fourth day of sentencing in Pretoria, South Africa, October 2014.
South African paralympian Oscar Pistorius, freed on parole last month after serving a fifth of his prison term for killing his girlfriend, faces years more in jail if state lawyers can get his conviction scaled up to culpable homicide from murder.
Prosecutors will argue before the Supreme Court that a high court judge was wrong to let Pistorius off the more serious charge after he fired four shots through a door on Valentine's Day 2013, killing Reeva Steenkamp.
The 28-year-old track star will not be present at the one-day hearing in Bloemfontein, 400 km (250 miles) southwest of Johannesburg, his lawyer Barry Roux told Reuters.
A panel of five judges will hear the appeal, and could either order a retrial, convict Pistorius of murder themselves or reject the prosecution's appeal, legal experts have said.
"The [high] court not only approached the circumstantial evidence incorrectly, but also incorrectly excluded relevant evidence," prosecutors said in documents filed at the court.
Pistorius, dubbed "Blade Runner" because of the carbon fibre prosthetic blades he uses to compete, denied deliberately killing his girlfriend during his six-month trial, saying he mistook her for an intruder at his home.
Prosecutors said Pistorius intended to kill Steenkamp, who they said fled to the toilet during a row.
But high court Judge Thokozile Masipa ruled last year that the state had failed to prove intent or dolus eventualis, a legal concept that centers on a person being held responsible for the foreseeable consequences of their actions.
The state insists Masipa misinterpreted some parts of the law and that Pistorius must have known that the person behind the door could be killed.
After the trial last September, Pistorius, a gun enthusiast, was also convicted of firing a pistol under the table of a Johannesburg restaurant but was let off on charges of illegal possession of ammunition and firing a gun out of a car sunroof.
The athlete, whose lower legs were amputated when he was a baby, was freed two weeks ago in line with South African sentencing guidelines that say non-dangerous prisoners should spend only a sixth of a custodial sentence behind bars.
He has not been seen in public since then and is under house arrest that confines him to his uncle's home in a wealthy Pretoria suburb for the duration of his sentence.

I remember when I used to watch TV series “Friends” as a kid, this thought flashed through my mind: “Gosh, what a fun time they’re having! It would be so cool to experience something like that!” Well, the truth is, Erasmus is kind of a 21st century version of “Friends” that everybody has a possibility to experience.
I started my 1st episode in Latvia, in the School of Business Administration“Turiba”. As I am studying tourism, there are many possibilities for students to go for internships and exchange programs abroad, so I decided to get the most out of these 4 years. I spent my first Erasmus in Spain, near Valencia, where I had the chance to enjoy Spanish culture, language and learn a lot together with over 100 Erasmus students. I gained so much in this half a year that staying in my host university seemed like I am missing out on something.
So next year I started to look for a new exchange program, and surprisingly enough, it didn’t take long to find it. As my friend said: „You didn’t choose Croatia,Croatia chose you.” And that’s true – International Relations Office was very flexible and ready to help me with all the problems I encountered, so I didn’t have second thoughts anymore and stopped my search saying: “I’m going to spend a year in Croatia!” And I have never regretted it - Croatians are welcoming and open-minded. Students are always willing to help and professors are actually appreciating your work and meeting you halfway. Therefore, I wish all of you would stay as amazing as you are and never lose your enthusiasm.
The first thing that surprised me was the size and beauty of my Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management in Ika that has a lot more charm than other educational institutions. What I really liked was the personal attitude I had a chance to experience as Erasmus student – I even had some one-on-one lectures so there was a possibility for discussions and in-depth individual teaching. My family and friends just couldn’t believe it when I told them about it! And the nature, sea, sun and mountains, that still takes my breath away, even after 8 months of living here!
However, there was also a down side to being an Erasmus in Croatia, especially when you, for example, try to register at the police or try to get a student discount when buying a bus ticket. You just bump against a wall and stay sitting there on the floor, wondering how to get to a doctor, get health insurance or get a package from a post office without taking week-long holidays.
But hey, you forget it all when you see how many new languages you have learned, how many friends and contacts from all around the world you have gained, how many places you have visited, how many new traditions you have experienced and when you realize that you can bring back something entirely new to your community, making it a richer and more exciting place to live.
It’s investment for your whole life, because you can get a job you have always wanted (like I had a chance to work for a travel agency), you can meet the partner of your life (believe me, there is the first Erasmus wedding from my previous year in Spain), get a new business idea that can push you to the top of success pyramid or you can just have a fulfilled and wonderful time in an international environment.
I wish for everybody to dive into this adventure and never forget the feeling of ERASMUS! You won’t regret it!

EDITOR’S NOTE: what follows is a full transcript from our interview with Wil Wheaton about featuring his pit bull rescues, Seamus and Marlowe, on our July IPA of the Month label.
Foothills: How did Seamus and Marlowe come into your life?
Wil: A few years ago, our dog, Ferris, died suddenly and unexpectedly from cancer. It was a crushing loss to our family, and while we grieved, we decided to walk in the Pasadena Humane Society’s Wiggle Waggle Walk, which is an annual fundraiser for them. I wrote a memorial for Ferris on my blog, and linked it to our fundraising page. We were hoping to raise $7000, because she was with us for seven years. The Internet got very generous, and in less than a week we had raised around $13,000 for Team Ferris.
Someone from PHS contacted us and said, “Um … who are you people and how in the world did you do this?!” We told her our story, and she asked us if we would be willing to walk a shelter dog in the walk, as a way of raising adoption awareness. We thought that would be awesome, so we said yes.
On the morning of the walk, Kevin, an adoption coordinator at PHS, brought this happy, dopey, incredibly affectionate puppy over to us. That dog was Seamus (though at the time we just called him “DOG”, a nod to Half Life 2). My wife Anne and I were not interested in getting a new dog, and the timing was all wrong for a bunch of reasons, but it took us about a mile of the three-mile walk to completely fall in love with him. I quietly slipped off his “ADOPT ME” bandana, and by the end of the walk, we had put ourselves on a list to adopt him. A few days later, he came to live with us.
After we’d had Seamus for a few years, we stopped by PHS (where Anne has become a board member) to drop off some paperwork. While we were visiting with Kevin and some other staff, and telling them how much we loved Seamus, one of their employees brought in a tiny puppy who had the happiest face you’ve ever seen. She looked like a little Staffordshire terrier, and I remember saying, “The thing about these dogs is that …” then I saw her, and continued, “they are just so dopey and happy and lovable!” As I said that, I crouched down to pet her, and she somersaulted into my lap. I fell in love before I drew my next breath. But we really couldn’t have another dog. Seamus was three, and our other dog, Riley, was ten, in no mood to have a puppy in the house. The next day, Anne and I were walking along the beach, and I said, “Just to be clear: there is no way in the world we can adopt that puppy, right?” I can’t recall what happened immediately after that, but I know the conversation ended with her calling PHS and asking to be put on the list to adopt her, if nobody claimed her. About a week later, Marlowe joined our family.
We lost Riley about two months ago, and we all miss her terribly, but Seamus and Marlowe are closer than ever, and without the old lady in the house, are able to play as loudly and enthusiastically as they want.
Foothills: How did you became aware of the #FoothillsIPAdog project, and what made you want to get involved?
Wil: About eighteen months ago, my friend, Charlotte, informed me about the existence of Sexual Chocolate. Through the magic of Twitter, I was able to get a bottle for myself, and I became a fan of Foothills before the bottle was empty. Since then, we’ve had a bunch of Foothills beers, including the #FoothillsIPAdog releases. I thought it would be awesome to have my dogs on a label because I love them, I love IPAs, and I love letting the world see how wonderful pit bulls are, contrary to some of the pernicious myths surrounding the breed.
Foothills: Describe your reaction to seeing Seamus and Marlowe’s label for the first time.
Wil: I thought it was amazing! I loved that they were exploring a planet that looked very similar to all those planets we saw in 1950s B movies, and I thought they wore their space suits very, very well. That rocket ship is cooler than any of the spaceships I’ve gotten to ride in, too.
Foothills: There seems to be a lot of traffic at the intersection of ‘dog people’ and ‘craft beer people’; why do you suppose that is?
Wil: We love the good things in life, obviously.
Foothills: So being able to combine those two passions in your own lives with this project has been gratifying?
Wil: I’m just really happy and grateful that our dogs get to be part of this project. I’ve loved all the other dogs and their stories, and it’s really cool that Seamus and Marlowe get to be in such great company.
Foothills: We’re often told one of the coolest parts of this project has been our donating a portion of the beer’s proceeds to a rescue organization in the community where that month’s dog lives; tell us about Pasadena Humane Society, where Seamus and Marlowe’s donation is headed.
Wil: Animal rescues and humane societies do important and compassionate work for their communities. Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA does so much for the nine communities they service. The provide low-cost vaccinations, spay and neutering services (for free to Chihuahua and Pit Bull owners, because those breeds are so populous in their serviced communities), obedience and agility training classes, day care and boarding for dogs, and many other community outreach programs. Without PHS, I wouldn’t have Seamus and Marlowe in my life, so I’m honored and privileged to give something back with this month’s IPA.
July IPA of the Month will be available beginning July 3rd at our pub and tasting room, as well as bars and bottle shops all across the great state of North Carolina. For shipments outside North Carolina, please contact Bruisin’ Ales.

Where There’s A Wil . . .
In 2014 we said ‘hey let’s make an IPA every month this year’. Or something to that effect. We have so many meetings I don’t recall exactly. Anyway the result was 12 tasty beers, complete with 12 lovely label ladies.
This year we shifted our IPA of the Month label focus to the canine companions of our Foothills faithful. Our crowd-sourced social media #FoothillsIPAdog contest netted close to 1500 entries.
Backstory: yes, Wil Wheaton is a movie star. And a TV star. And an internet star. And an avid consumer of craft beer. Even ours.
He is also, along with his lovely wife Anne, a passionate advocate for animal welfare, in particular pit bull rescues. The Wheatons work tirelessly to improve the lives of this misunderstood breed. They make videos. They make calendars. They hold fundraisers. And they have two rescue pit bulls of their own – Seamus and Marlowe.
In short, the Wheatons are truly fine dog people. So we are honored to have Seamus and Marlowe join the corp of #BarleysBuddies as our July Foothills IPA dogs – complete with label copy from Mr. Wheaton himself.
July’s IPA was brewed with Citra, Chinook and Sorachi Ace hops, with a unique addition of kiwi and lime during dry hopping.
So how did we meet a Hollywood star and put his dogs on our label? Thank Sexual Chocolate for that. Wil became aware of our magic chocolate elixir through his Raleigh friend (and ours) Charlotte Moore, and, as he tells it, “I became a fan of Foothills before the bottle was empty.” That led to a few fun Twitter exchanges . . .
. . . and more Foothills beer being enjoyed at ‘Castle Wheaton’ — including this year’s IPA of the Month Series.
Quite a statement — especially from a Star Trek: Next Generation alum. Kudos to our artist Kyle.
As we do every month, we’ll donate a portion of the beer’s sales to a rescue organization in the community where our ‘label dogs’ live; in this case, the Pasadena Humane Society (where Anne is a board member).
Bottom line, we are immensely proud to have the Wheatons join the Foothills Family.
EDITOR’S NOTE: you can follow Wil’s award-winning blog (which we highly recommend) here.

A therapy that uses patients’ own stem cells may be able to reverse some of the effects of multiple sclerosis, a preliminary study suggests. The findings were published in the Jan. 20 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 21, 2015 (HealthDay News) — A therapy that uses patients’ own stem cells may be able to reverse some of the effects of multiple sclerosis (MS), a preliminary study suggests. The findings were published in the Jan. 20 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Richard Burt, M.D., chief of immunotherapy and autoimmune diseases at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, and colleagues tested a new approach: essentially, “rebooting” the immune system with patients’ own stem cells. The researchers removed and stored stem cells from MS patients’ blood, then used relatively low-dose chemotherapy drugs to — as Burt described it to HealthDay — “turn down” the patients’ immune-system activity. From there, the stem cells were infused back into patients’ blood.
Eighty-two people were followed for two years after they had the procedure. Half saw their score on a standard MS disability scale fall by one point or more, according to Burt’s team. Of 36 patients who were followed for four years, nearly two-thirds saw that much of an improvement. Of the patients followed for four years, 80 percent remained free of a symptom flare-up.
The therapy was only effective for patients with relapsing-remitting MS, however. It was not helpful for the 27 patients with secondary-progressive MS, or those who’d had any form of MS for more than 10 years. A clinical trial is underway at several medical centers, looking at patients with relapsing-remitting MS whose symptoms have failed to improve after at least six months on standard medications. They’re being randomly assigned to either stem cell therapy or further pharmacologic therapy.

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) says it views the publication of confidential taxpayer information in Jacques Pauw’s book and the Sunday Times as unlawful and a criminal offence.
SARS was responding to a report published in the Sunday Times on Sunday. The report used an extract from Pauw’s new book‚ The President’s Keepers – Those keeping Zuma in power and out of prison.
SARS‚ in its reply to the report‚ said it was deeply concerned about the publication of confidential taxpayer information.
It said this was in contravention of the Tax Administration Act‚ which prohibits the disclosure of taxpayer information by a SARS official or former SARS official.
Disclosure was permitted only through an order of the high court.
SARS said the premise of the article hinged on the “predictable” narrative that the organisation could not fulfil its mandate since the appointment of Moyane because he was allegedly using his position to protect Zuma.
It dismissed the “irresponsible and mischievous” tone of the report which seeks to cast aspersions on the character of Commissioner Moyane”.
It said the allegations pertaining to Zuma’s tax affairs refer to events that occurred before Moyane assumed his current position.
In addition‚ SARS dismissed “with contempt” the allegation that officials who were allegedly administering Zuma’s tax affairs were purged from the organisation.
Sunday Times editor Bongani Siqoko said the newspaper stood by its report.
“We will wait for SARS to file its (legal) papers and we will respond‚” Siqoko said.

It’s the time of year again when teens and adults flock to the California desert to listen to and enjoy many genres of music–well at least some do. Coachella has become more about fashion than music in recent years. During the festival, famous social media influencers constantly post new pics of their outfits with no sign of enjoying the musical acts there. With big name headliners like The Weeknd and Beyoncé to lure music lovers to the event, most people seem to care more about posing next to the famous Ferris wheel or taking pics with all their friends for likes on social media.
The price for a Coachella ticket has risen including its increasing popularity. A staggering $429 dollar ticket (not including a hotel room or forms of transportation) leaves the festival for the rich and well off to enjoy themselves in the hot and dusty desert. Besides being ridiculously overpriced, the founder Philip Anschutz, has given numerous amounts of money to hate groups, is an alleged backer of various anti- lgbt groups and has given money to anti- marijuana causes and since this knowledge is public not a lot of celebrities have come out to boycott this event. It’s common knowledge that most performers at Coachella are on the liberal side so it interesting seeing so many of them performing at this festival to say the least.
Since the first week of Coachella it’s reported that the owner has already made millions of dollars from spoiled rich kids who are ignorant to his right leaning positions. People can use their money for various other things that are better than buying a ticket for a festival that is problematic. Not known to many Coachella fans, the area where the festival lies is one of the poorest communities in America usually occupied by poor migrant farm workers until the desert gets taken over by privileged hipsters once a year.
Although there are negative aspects to this popular festival, the lineup this year and many other years has many popular and eclectic acts that myself and many others only wished they could have seen but instead watched on YouTube in the comfort of their own rooms.


text: The scoring methodology is similar to ones previous used for mass-kill scenes like the Battle of Blackwater, and the Sept of Baelor explosion, and Drogon's previous fights. All visible bodies that are dying or dead from the particular kill method are counted up (not too much debate this episode, since there were no other fire-wielders). However no further assumptions or speculations are made that a larger group must've died.

A Formula 1 test driver who suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash during testing in Cambridgeshire has regained consciousness.
The Spaniard, 32, is being treated at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Marussia said she later regained consciousness and was being assessed by doctors.
A spokesman for the team said: "Maria is conscious and medical assessments are ongoing."
He added that "she has been receiving the best medical attention possible at the hospital".
He said De Villota had been driving at up to 200mph during the testing but the car was travelling considerably slower at the time of the crash.
Minutes before, Marussia driver Timo Glock said on Twitter: "Great to see @mariavillota in the car with the new update. Make it quick."
"The accident happened at the end of her first installation run and involved an impact with the team's support truck."
Ferrari driver and fellow Spaniard Fernando Alonso, who won the F1 drivers championship in 2005 and 2006, said: "I just got home and found out Maria's accident, we called the family and hopefully we will know more soon! All my energy with you!"
Jenson Button, who won the championship in 2009, said: "Terrible accident for Maria de Villota, Marussia F1 team test driver.
In 2012, the team rebranded as Marussia, and drafted in Charles Pic to race alongside Glock.

This trip was long waited. We wanted to hike this trail 4th of July weekend, but with a solid winter that left snowpacks still on the trail, we opted to wait it out until more snow melted. And it was worth the wait! Maybe we should have even waited even longer for more wildflowers to bloom. There was plenty, but some areas you can see many are yet to bloom.
Before I begin to talk about the trail, I want to mention that all the roads I’ve driven to the trailhead in Trinity are unpaved and very bumpy. This one in particular had big boulders and dips. I don’t know how the lower clearance cars made it. Just be cautious and go very slow when you do make it out.
Kept looking back at this stunning view.
We first started off through the woods and it was nice being covered, but it isn’t as nice as when you get past it all to the exposed portion, that’s when it really opens up and you see how beautiful it is. From that point on it’s nothing shy of stunning.
So much snow! Good thing this wasn’t the trail.
This trail is 7 miles all uphill to just to Summit Lake with an elevation gain of 5,000 feet about 14 miles round trip and the other lakes about 5 additional miles. So be prepared. We were hoping to score the one and only campsite at Diamond Lake, unfortunately other backpackers beat us to it so Summit Lake it was. Summit Lake is holds most people so yeah, you’ll have company. Deer Lake is the other one you can camp at, but there isn’t much space and doesn’t have any shade. At Luella Lake we did see one guy whom seem to have the only spot. A couple of great things about camping at Summit Lake is shade and lots of wood to build a fire. We all attempted to start our first fire and success!
My trail buddy and I at the top of Diamond Lake.
Yay, to our first campfire attempt!
The next morning we decided to day hike to the other two lakes, Diamond and Luellea which was about 5 miles, and then climb up Siligo Peak with hopefully enough time to chill at our campsite and lake.
The descend down to Diamond Lake.
This glorious mountain side of Diamond Lake can be found covered in wildflowers.
Looking out to white Trinity.
We loved the hike down to Diamond Lake and this backdrop is unlike any other – SO FREAKIN’ GORGEOUS!!! We spent a little time taking it all in and of course capturing the moment. Then off to Luella we went.
Even from seeing it from the top, we knew Luella was going to be a stunner. It was the prettiest lake even more than Diamond (in a different way) so we decided to spend a little time soaking it all up. Swim, dry, lunch. It was 100 degrees that day so the lakes were much needed. After that cool dip and some snacking by the lake, we set off to finish up the loop back to Deer Lake we go. Between Luella and Deer lakes it was about 1,000 feet of elevation gain.
You can see how clear it is from up high!
Despite the reaction on my face, it was quite refreshing and the warmest of the four.
Along our descend down to the meadow, we stumble upon another smaller lake, or more like a pond. It didn’t look to enticing to explore and we wanted to stay on track to Deer Lake so we continued on. I do find myself in the middle of the meadow full of wildflowers right before we started our ascend, and I couldn’t get over all the types of flowers and colors we’ve been seeing all in one spot.
At times the climb felt steep because of the direct sun exposure and heat. Near to our destination we came across a patch of snow and I just wanted to roll around in it, but we only stoped briefly to catch our breath and take some sips of water. As we continued on our climb I started to hear a rush of water, that led to a short waterfall, and just like that a few steps up was Deer Lake. It felt so good to see it because we just wanted to jump into the lake. A quick dip and we were headed back up toward camp.
Once we climbed up from Deer Lake at the top off to the right was the path to Siligo Peak. At this point we were exhausted from the heat, hungry, and had only a few sips of water left in our bladders. With one foot in front of another we slowly but surely summited an additional 500 feet to the peak. After a few gazes and mandatory photos from the top, we finally made our way back to camp.
Compared to what we’ve been walking, it was a short hike down that only took us 10 minutes. What was first – dip in the lake to cool off or eat?! First things first, shoes off, sandals on towards the water we went. It felt incredible to give our achy feet a soak but really to wash off all the layers of sunscreen and bug spray. Dinner was followed right after and boy did I feast! Earlier in the day we wanted to make another campfire but our tried bodies couldn’t even dare, so we just kicked back and relax what was left of the day.
Can never get enough of those mountain sunsets.
Our last day. Even though the hike back was all downhill, we wanted to get an early start so we had time to drive back home and eat a proper meal. The great thing about starting at 6am, is you rise with the sun and see the early morning light hit the mountain peaks. And it’s not scorching hot! The down and out was even more beautiful seeing mountain groomed with flowers and the valley within sight…and that means almost to the car and back home for hot showers and eats.
The morning light hitting the peaks.

Take as many chances as possible. See and do as many things as you can in every place - make the most of the short time you have there.
5AM Wake up in time to catch the early shuttle to the hot air balloons or hike to a lookout point to view the flights from on ground. Make sure to check the weather beforehand, as they can’t fly in dangerous or cloudy conditions.
8AM Arrive back at your hostel or hotel for a quick breakfast.
9AM Put on your hiking shoes and get on your shuttle for the Green Tour. This tour I consider a necessity when visiting Cappadocia because your guide will drive you to the underground cities that are too far to walk to.
10AM Arrive and tour the Derinkuyu Underground city. You will travel down about 8 stories into the ground, and it can bit a claustrophobic at times if you are sensitive to that, but I didn’t find it too bad. It’s definitely worth it to see the underground living spaces.
11AM Go to Ihlara Valley for a hike. You will descend down many wooden stairs until you get down next to the river in Ihlara Valley, which you will walk through, stopping to explore the painted stone churches along the way.
12PM Stop at a local restaurant on the river for some traditional Turkish food and tea.
2PM Take your shuttle to the Selime Monastery. Climb up to see the different rooms and to catch a spectacular view of the cone-shaped rocks mostly recognized from their depiction in Star Wars.
3PM Arrive at Pigeon Valley where you can see beautiful rock formations scattered with holes carved for pigeons.
4PM Get to the Goreme Panorama. Here you can lookout over tons of rock formations commonly nick-named as “fairy-chimneys”.
5PM From the Panorama, if you still have time before sunset, I recommend spiltting from your tour group and heading just up the road to Uchisar Castle. If you don’t have time this could be a nice lookout spot for the next morning as well.
7PM Wander back through Goreme and pick a restaurant serving pottery kebab. This traditional meal cooked in a clay pot is absolutely delicious and a perfect end to the day.
9PM Go back to your cave hotel/hostel and start planning your next early day of hiking. On the way back, stop in the shops and pick up a beautiful carpet to take home!

tasha faye: la douleur exquise.
there is a jumble of bunched, blurred words in my mind and i cannot sort them out to give you all the stories that you deserve to know about me.
but a reminder from the lovely Tessa made me realize that a post of my favorite quotes say just as much!
"Always learn poems by heart. They have to become the marrow in your bones. Like fluoride in the water, they’ll make your soul impervious to the world’s soft decay."
"suddenly something snaps in my mind. suddenly i realise this is my youth. this is the young me i will remember when i am old and longing. these are all memories i will tell my children and grandchildren and myself. i take a mental photograph like i often do and i close my eyes tightly while it develops."
"We wander, question. But the answer waits in each separate heart - the answer of our own identity and the way by which we can master loneliness and feel that at last we belong."
"She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you would never know."
that's all i can remember for now, hehe!
The drawings are beyond cute :3 And I love love love the beautiful quotes. I just love it when a quote perfectly describes your situation.
Amazing quotes. The very first one by Oscar Wilde has always been one that I live by.

That is a picture of a criminal. Not only did I have a horrendous travel day lasting more than twelve hours but it began with an assault from that little creep.
I was walking around the airport because my first flight was delayed and the new projected arrival time looked like it would give me a not so comfortable half hour to get from one end of the Denver United terminal to the other. Look it up sometime if you’re bored but trust me that leaves room for only the most efficient bathroom work and will probably result in some form of embarrassing airport jog. So my mind was on things out of my control and I was on the phone with the airline seeing if there was a way to pre-plan for disaster. The person on the other end of the line could not comprehend what I was attempting. I might have been the first person to ever call her BEFORE their travel plans officially blew up.
It was in the midst of this confusion that my walking path took me near that little menace. He barely registered even as I noticed I had wandered into an empty kids play area. Realizing how weird the giant bald man with no kids yelling into ear pods that looked like earrings I hustled my way out of the room and took a sharp left right into his creepy four-fingered hand. It turns out that children entering this play area could also use apple bag as a height gauge. Holy crap the pain in my nuts immediately radiated up into my stomach doubling me over. One of the earpod things scooted across the tile and I was breathing funny but at least the stars quickly blinked away so passing out would not be a thing.
Two people walked over to ask if I was okay which did NOT help. Very nice of them but unless they had an ice pack and high flow oxygen I was going through something that would just have to work itself out. I bent-over-walked to retrieve the plastic ear speaker as standing straight and tall seemed like a risky proposition. There were some comfortable chairs close and I finished my convalescence in relative peace. Seated across from him I couldn’t help but notice a look on his face like he had done this before and that is when I decided to take the picture. I live the glamorous life of a jet-setter.
