It’s hard to admit that I’ve used self-loathing as a way to motivate myself.
I’ve literally hated and doubted myself into trying harder. Whether it’s losing weight, getting that new client or taking on a new personal challenge, I believed I could hate myself into doing it. Sounds incredibly counter-intuitive even as I write it. Of course I had little self-awareness that this was what I was doing at the time.
And even when I did begin to see this unhealthy pattern it was really hard to stop. I feared I wouldn’t be motivated enough to be my best without being hard on myself. But that fear, and the tough-love self-doubt that comes with it, is really unhealthy.
Becoming aware of this pattern and then aware of the anxiety, worry and pressure that self-loathing caused me were the first steps. The next one was finding another way to motivate and support myself. It wasn’t easy as the fear that I’d be “too soft” on myself without the constant criticisms and doubts was a deeply embedded belief and a way of being with myself that was literally wired in my brain.
Happily I discovered self-compassion. It wasn’t love at first sight I can tell you. I had a lot of resistance. I felt ashamed to have compassion for myself while so many people have a lot “more serious” problems. I feared I might become self-centred. I might become lazy and too easy going. I feared I wouldn’t be as productive or successful.
I came to understand that these barriers pointed to my own inner defences as well as misunderstandings about self-compassion. The good news is that self-compassion training always starts with right now wherever you are in this moment, so that was where I started.
There is an ever-increasing body of research that attests to the motivational power of self-compassion and I can personally attest to it. I find I now in fact set higher goals for myself because when I fail I’m motivated by the desire to learn and grow, not to run and hide from the scolding I’m going to give myself. I’m able to much more easily stick to goal specific behaviours like exercising, meditating and eating healthier.
And all that motivation happens without the crushing self-loathing and self-doubts that tough love imposed on me. I have literally loved myself, my best self out of hiding by being my own best friend.

The Press Association would be the next to be informed, alerting the world’s media.
Then a footman dressed in mourning attire will pin a black-edged notice to the gates of Buckingham palace officially announcing the Queen’s death. The news of the Queen’s death would then be rolled out to the public through the news. A sudden newsflash would appear across different media channels.
As part of the London Bridge is Down plan most news platforms have pre-prepared stories, films and obituaries in the event of the Queen’s death. When the news finally reaches them these will be released onto the news cycle.
Newsreaders will wear black suits and ties. They will also announce the news of Queen Elizabeth’s death with the of the words “it is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement”.
In radio stations across the UK, blue obituary lights will start flashing. When this light flashes DJs will switch to the news so they can spread the news of the Queen’s passing.

What most people do not know is that divorce records are public information, except for financial statments. Why? People who search properties and title examiners use these documents for years to come searching the chain of command on who owns a piece of real estate. Why? The want to make sure that a title to a home or land is clean before it is sold or the deed is changed.
In the mean time the general public can go to their local Probate and family Court and read your divorce file. How does one stop or prevent this. This is a very simple act but few people do it. You need to file a Motion to have your divorce docket Impounded. This is done often in cases of domestic violence or a high profile case. It is a simple Motion but the Judge needs to rule on it and sign it as an order.
Once the order is signed your divorce case will be kept in a separate area and the public will not be allowed to acess it.

"CHA2 DS2 -VASc score and adverse outcomes in patients with heart failu" by Siqin Ye, Min Qian PhD et al.
CHA2 DS2 -VASc score and adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and sinus rhythm.
AIMS: The aim of this study was to determine whether the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score can predict adverse outcomes such as death, ischaemic stroke, and major haemorrhage, in patients with systolic heart failure in sinus rhythm.
METHODS AND RESULTS: CHA2 DS2 -VASc scores were calculated for 1101 patients randomized to warfarin and 1123 patients randomized to aspirin. Adverse outcomes were defined as death or ischaemic stroke, death alone, ischaemic stroke alone, and major haemorrhage. Using proportional hazards models, we found that each 1-point increase in the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score was associated with increased hazard of death or ischaemic stroke events [hazard ratio (HR) for the warfarin arm = 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.13-1.30, P < 0.001; for aspirin, HR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.11-1.29, P < 0.001]. Similar increased hazards for higher CHA2 DS2 -VASc scores were observed for death alone, ischaemic stroke alone, and major haemorrhage. Overall performance of the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score was assessed using c-statistics for full models containing the risk score, treatment assignment, and score-treatment interaction, with the c-statistics for the full models ranging from 0.57 for death to 0.68 for major haemorrhage.
CONCLUSIONS: The CHA2 DS2 -VASc score predicted adverse outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure in sinus rhythm, with modest prediction accuracy.

The video is the next in-thing. After YouTube, there is a sudden rise of NetFlix type platforms to showcase videos. Now the next part of video revolution is shifting everything to video calling and to facilitate this need, we have WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication).
Text chat has been very popular till now and the only thing that has restricted users to move on to video chats is the quality of the network. Most of the developing countries have already moved on to 4G which has average data speed of 10 Mbps. So, there will be soon a great demand for more video based content webRTC video chat with a better data speed.
WebRTC is simply an open source project helmed by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) which is standardizing its Application Programming Interface (API). WebRTC also provides voice calling, webRTC video chat and P2P file sharing between browsers and mobile applications without the need of internal or external plugins.
It is a perfect set of free API’s that helps the developer to create a product that can enable communication between different devices irrespective of browser or operating system being used. WebRTC Video Chat uses multiple standards and protocols, which include data streams, signaling, STUN/TURN servers, JSEP, SIP, ICE, SDP, UDP/TCP, NAT, network sockets, etc.
Apart from the above protocols, WebRTC uses HTML5. The objective of HTML5 is to support the latest multimedia and enhance the readability of content with its understanding of the devices ensuring better AI-based applications.
WebRTC has three major components on which it is designed to work.
getUserMedia: This allows browser or the native app gain access to the device’s camera and microphone to capture the video.
RTCPeerConnection: This allows audio-video calls set up in the device.
RTCDataChannel: This allows the browser or the native app to get peer-to-peer communication established between the devices.
WebRTC video chat is designed to do multiple tasks but setting up this real-time peer-to-peer audio video call is the prime advantage.
So, each device gets its public IP. So, to detect other devices trying to make a connection, signalling data channels are created. Signalling data channels also support the device to device communication and hence a session is established.
There are “n” number of practical applications where WebRTC is not just a base of communication. Likewise, WebRTC is used for many advanced purposes in many practical applications. LetsNurture has recently used WebRTC for one of its clients that support on-line health care portal. It also helps doctors and patients to schedule a video call via in-app WebRTC video chat and provide the needed treatment.
WebRTC video chat has created great opportunities for business to connect with customers more closely. In addition, this opportunity gives a personalized touch to the conversation. It may be possible that soon all the Customer Service solutions are provided through such technology. Who knows, what’s in the future for us.

I am entering my tenth year as a professional wedding photographer, and I have a lot of “favorite” weddings. I really do. Weddings that were authentic and unique, as fun as they were beautiful, and as quirky as they were traditional. I have photographed a wedding in a hurricane, second and third weddings, weddings with pets, and weddings in snow. I have seen some amazing shows of love and commitment and hilarity all wrapped up together. But I have never, ever seen a wedding as wonderful, fun, down-to-earth, real, unique, personalized, and just plain old out-of-the-box as Angela and Sandy’s wedding last month. I even cried.
Just the whole thing was amazing. My one wish is that the photos do justice in depicting what a glorious day it was for these women, and for everyone who got to be part of their celebration.

Spectroscopic study of early-type multiple stellar systems II. New binary subsystems.
Context. This work is part of a long-term spectroscopic study of a sample of 30 multiple stars with early-type components. In this second paper we present the results for six multiple systems in which new stellar components have been detected. Aims. The main aim is to increase the knowledge of stellar properties and dynamical structure of early-type multiple stellar systems. Methods. Using spectroscopic observations taken over a time baseline of more than five years we measured radial velocities by cross-correlations and spectrally separated the double-lined systems. In addition to the discovery of objects with double-lined spectra, the existence of new spectroscopic subsystems were inferred from the radial velocity variations of single-lined components and through the variation of the barycentric velocity of double-lined subsystems. Orbital elements were calculated when possible. Results. Seven new stellar components and two members that we expect to confirm with new observations have been discovered in the six studied multiples. We present orbital parameters for two double-lined binaries and preliminary orbits for three single-lined spectroscopic binaries. Five of the six analysed systems are quadruples, while the remaining has five components distributed on four hierarchical levels. These multiplicity orders are in fact lower limits, since these systems lack high-resolution visual observations and additional hierarchical levels might exist in that separation range. Conclusions. The six analysed systems have a higher degree of multiplicity and a more complex hierarchical structure than previously known, which suggests that high-order multiple systems are significantly more frequent than currently estimated. The long-term spectroscopic monitoring of multiple systems has shown to be useful for the detection of companions in intermediate hierarchical levels.

December 23, 2017 sambawaLeave a Comment on What is a Matrimonial Bureau?
It’s a platform where a person looking for a right candidate for marraige for himself/herself can register as a result of which they will get help in finding their perfect match. This can only be done when one registers and fills up the details such as career and personal information and other characteristics. The matrimonial bureau will thus suggest a person who completely matches or is compatible with the other person. They can then initiate conversation and can take the matter one step ahead by meeting up and then if both the parties seem happy and satisfied then bingo! A perfect pair is made! This is the process which is generally followed by any matrimonial bureau. Let’s read in detail about the matrimonial bureaus in Delhi and what one can look forward to.
What should we look for in matrimonial bureaus?
First and foremost we should check whether the marriage bureau is legally existing or not. For this we need to go through the policies, the documents and other legal formalities which will prove the true motive of the business organization.
Verification should be properly done by the customer so as to check and take precaution against fraud activities.
After the originality and legal existence is checked we can now move on to the most important aspect that is the features or the packages which one has to offer. We need to check what the particular bureau has to offer and if there are any special features.
Next, we need to check whether the packages they have to offer justify the price they charge for that service. Prices should be completely equivalent to the service provided to the customer.
The range of choices should be wide and quality of the profiles which they provide us with should be original. At the end of the day customer satisfaction should be taken care of!
Before we register and add our profile specifications we need to check the reviews so that we get a rough idea of the agency. From this we can get an overview of the agency we will be registering to.
We know a product can only get sold when it has a high demand. Similarly, it is not possible for a matrimonial bureau to grow and prosper if there were not enough customers approaching for getting their desired services. The youth of today believes in getting hitched only when they find their perfect match. And, these Punjabi marraige bureaus play a major role in helping them do so. We can find a perfect match in less than a second, with just a click! With so many options, varieties, and profiles which completely tick off the customer’s criteria they not only fulfill customer satisfaction but also fulfill their objective of creating happy and perfect pairs. It is obvious for a company to grow when the customers increase. It also helps them build their company’s image when good reviews are given by customers. When a matrimonial bureau is formed they need to see to it that all the needs of customers are catered to, thereby increasing their market demand and establishing a good image or “goodwill” for themselves in the market.

Exact is the literacy test that makes it easy to screen all your pupils to identify who may be entitled to extra exam access arrangements, enabling you to support pupils’ learning needs from the outset.
We all strive to ensure that every pupil achieves exam results that reflect their potential, but with large cohorts of pupils to manage and a complex process for applying for exam access arrangements, some pupils may slip through the net. Exact makes a genuine difference, by allowing you to screen all pupils easily, and providing simple reports that flag instantly which children could qualify for help. This means that if you bring in an external assessor, you already know which pupils they need to assess, and have independent evidence to bring to that process, which is especially helpful in conversations with parents.
How can Exact make a difference to you?
This simple four-part literacy test takes just 30-40 minutes (parts can be taken separately), and immediately produces a report for each pupil showing where there is evidence of problems likely to impact on exam performance.
The authority of the reports helps parents to be confident in your judgement and can reduce exam-related anxiety for pupils.
Exact gives you an accurate means of identifying children who are eligible for access arrangements and helps ensure they are given the support they need.
Exact’s tests are simple, reliable and benchmarked, enabling you to screen pupils to pick up all those who may be entitled to extra access. It makes the application process much easier, providing data that you can use to complete Section A of JCQ Form 8 (Application for Access Arrangements) yourself.
Are you an independent specialist assessor?
Assesses literacy levels to identify which pupils could qualify for extra help if they’re to achieve the exam grades that reflect their true capability.
It’s a huge time-saver, helping to identify pupils who should be further tested by a specialist assessor.
What does Exact tell you?
How each individual student compares to a representative sample on word recognition, spelling, reading comprehension and dictation (typing and handwriting speeds), clearly signalling areas of weakness likely to compromise exam performance.
How do I use Exact?
This short digital assessment takes just 30-40 minutes and delivers results instantly. There are two forms, A and B, so the assessment can be repeated by a specialist assessor for evidence in Section C of JCQ form 8.
Exact is designed for students aged 11–24 years and is used by SENCOs, educational psychologists, teachers, exams officers.

This section is the main network configuration panel for Zen Load Balancer, where will be shown the network interfaces table for physical, virtual, vlan, bonding interfaces, and the default gateway configuration field.
Name. It’s the name of the current interface and will be unique. The virtual interfaces will be identificated by a colon “:” character within the interface name, meanwhile the vlan is identificated by a dot “.” character within the interface name which will be the vlan tag.
Addr. It’s the IP address in ipv4 format for the current network interface.
HWAddr. It’s the MAC physical address for the current network interface. Note that the virtual and vlan network interfaces have the same MAC address of its parent physical interface.
Netmask. It’s the netmask of the network interface, which defines the subnet of the network for the current interface.
Gateway. It’s the gateway for the current network interface. ZenLB can work with independent route tables for every physical or vlan network interfaces. Virtual interfaces always inherit the gateway from the parent physical or vlan interface.
Status. A green dot means the interface is UP and running, meanwhile a red dot means the interface is DOWN.
Actions. The action icons are used to apply changes to the current network interface. Applying a certain action could affect to one or more network interfaces.
Down interface. Disables the current interface.
Up interface. Enable the current interface.
Edit interface. Change the current network interface configuration.
In order to apply the changes press the Save & Up! Button.
Add virtual interface. Adds a new virtual interface inherited from the current network interface.
Creating a new virtual interface will appear a field with a colon “:” character that will be used to establish an identification for the virtual interface. The IP address has to be under the same subnet that the parent interface.
In order to apply the changes you have to click on the Save button. Press the Cancel button to reject the changes. Add vlan interface. Adds a new vlan interface inherited from the current network interface.
Creating a new vlan interface will appears a field with a dot “.” character that will be used to establish an identification for the vlan interface. The IP address could be different of the parent interface.
In order to apply the changes you have to press the Save button. Press the Cancel button to reject the changes.
Delete interface. This action disables and deletes the current interface if it’s possible.
GUI service is binding to a certain interface. In this case, a home icon is shown and some actions are disabled to be safe from bad configurations that could produce an unaccessible zen web GUI.
In order to restablish the actions, you’ve to go to the Settings::Server section and bind the GUI service over all interfaces, and finally restart the GUI service.
Cluster configuration. In this case, the cluster has been configured and the interfaces configuration is only enabled when the cluster is disabled.
A default gateway for the system could be established through the Defatul gateway table.
To change this field, you’ve to press the edit button and enter the gateway address and interface.
In order to apply the new configuration press the Save button or Cancel to reject the changes.
In order to remove the default gateway press the Delete Button.
Round-robin policy:.Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
Active-backup policy:. Only one slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. The bond’s MAC address is externally visible on only one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The primary option affects the behavior of this mode.
XOR policy:Transmit based on source MAC address XOR’d with destination MAC address. This selects the same slave for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
Broadcast policy:Transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.
IEEE 802.3ad LACP. Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.
1. Network interface support in the base drivers for retrieving the speed and duplex of each slave.
2. A switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation. Most switches will require some type of configuration to enable 802.3ad mode.
Adaptive transmit load balancing: Channel bonding that does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each slave. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.
Base driver support for retrieving the speed of each slave.
Adaptive load balancing: Includes Adaptive transmit load balancing plus receive load balancing for IPV4 traffic, and does not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. The bonding driver intercepts the ARP Replies sent by the local system on their way out and overwrites the source hardware address with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bonding such that different peers use different hardware addresses for the server.
To restore your interface MAC addresses, you need to delete the bonding interface is using the given interface. The bonding driver will then restore the MAC addresses that the member interfaces had before they were added to the bonding interface.
The bonding MAC address will be the taken from its first member device.
The same member interface can be present only in one bonding interface.
If one interface is part of a bonding interface then this interfac will be locked.
Bonding mode can’t be changed once the bonding interface is created, but member interfaces can be added or deleted in the bonding interface as needed.
Add bonding: This button allows to configure a new bonding interface.
Name: Enter in this column the new name for the bonding interface.
Mode:Select the desired mode for the bonding interface, 6 modes are supported: Round robin, Active-backup, XOR, Broadcast, LACP, Adpative transmit load balancing and Adaptive load balancing.
Members: Select the members interface you want to add to the bonding interface, in case you want to add a new member once the bonding interface is created you have to execute the same action in node backup (if cluster is configured) or wait for a new reboot in backup node for adding the new member interface to the bonding automatically. This column shows only the interfaces that are not configured yet, are not member of another bonding and the status is down, an example is shown below. Bonding interface will use the MAC of the first member interface, consider this in case you want to remove a member interface of any bonding.

This weeks economic news is the record setting US$ 10.1B Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) figure gained in 2017.
It has beaten expectations and begs deeper analysis. After all, the more than 20% increase compared to the US$8B generated in 2016 flies in the face of international media’s criticism of the current government, and is a wrench in the works of local opposition efforts to paint the government’s new economic policies as a failure.
Politics aside, the lower unemployment figures (6.3%), and the sustained high GDP rates (6-6.9%)and investment grade ratings (BBB- BBB+) all point to the success of the government’s Dutertenomics and particularly, its cornerstone Build Build Build program and the TRAIN Law meant to fix the tax system and provide the financial resources to drive accelerated infrastructure while at the same time, temper borrowing.
This strategy reflects the efforts of Malaysia and Thailand in the early 2000s, pushing infrastructure to drive local economic success. Their infrastructure spending boosted the local economy and pushed growth, making it inclusive and robust, generating jobs and investments that enabled it to cut poverty down to single figures and in turn, raise their standard of living.
Thus the increased public spending on infrastructure in the Davao region was felt, given that in 2017, P139.6 billion or 36.5 percent of the public works total budget for the proposed infrastructure programs went to the island. Expecting roughly the same this year, the government has announced a packagae of big ticket infra for the island to turn back decades of unfunded projects and essential neglect.
While nice numbers don’t lie, these may not exactly paint a full picture of the local economy. A better question is: is this growth felt?
For one, the lower unemployment figures sync in with the reality faced by many small businesses that skilled workers are slowly becoming scarce.
The build build build program that increased public roads has spurred a similar rush to build private sector projects near these new or expanded thoroughfares. To illustrate, the new bypass road from Bunawan to Waan and Maa alone opens up these areas which were once feared enclaves of insurgents.
With this, the announcement of several mixed use development projects such as the Azuela Cove in Lanang and a similar protect in Matina and the Milan-Buhangin area will add value to local properties, giving a windfall for many landowners and increased demand for both skilled and lesser skilled workers.
Which bring us to the next point. Property prices have been increasing at 15% since 2016, with some residential properties in the Ecoland Matina area already hitting more than 20,000 per square meter, double that of 2010 prices.
Demand for office spaces has also gone up, judging from a popular shared office space in Lanang and a similar one in Matina has run out of slots for short term tenants. Another company interested in setting up retail operations finds it difficult to find suitable areas to build warehouses.
Inflation per se is not bad, which is why it is expressed in terms of a rate and managed as a band that should not be breached. To its credit, despite increased demand, the government’s economic managers have maintained this within the 2-5% level within 2017.
Of course, price increase in certain commodities may have been felt, but these were apparent since the middle of 2017, and could not be attributable to any new tax measures such as the TRAIN which came into effect only in January 2018. Local fuel price increases reflect international oil prices, which for the most part have pushed inflation. The higher prices of commodities may also reflect increased spending for these, as the local stocks may be unable to meet demand.
Correlating this with lower unemployment, it may mean that people have more money in their hands and are spending more, outstripping the capacity of suppliers to provide the commodities they demand. But as with all things about inflation, it goes up then down and up again, just like it did in 2011, then again in 2014, when suppliers of goods like food rebound and regain future harvests that drive prices down.
Connectivity between Davao and major cities has also increased in the last year. Apart from the Davao-Bitung sea link, the past year we witnessed new flights between Davao and Tacoban, Tagbilaran, Dumaguete and a revival of the Davao-Kalibo and Davao-Puerto Princesa flights along with an increase in frequencies between our city and Zamboanga and Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo, Bacolod and Cebu. New flights include direct air service to Siargao and El Nido.
Recent announcements by Qatar airways last week point to the possibility of a Doha-Davao flight, while Air Asia may yet add another regional destination to the Davao-Kuala Lumpur jet service. Last years chartered flights from Xiamen may open the door to a return of the Davao-Hongkong flights.
Curiously, these new linkages indicate that more people are flying and that the increased regional growth rates are reflected in the increased number of times people travel.
Thus, the local economy continues to perform creditably, with growth figures consistent with previous performance. This is the reason why economic forecasts remain just as robust, and credit ratings have not changed. If there is one thing that changed, it is the public’s capacity to read, understand and digest economic news in a manner we have not seen before.
Google is abuzz with references on economic terms. People are using the internet more to learn about these things, as each day brings news about economic facts and figures they are beginning to rediscover.
The next year will see equal or better amounts in public spending for Mindanao, what with the initial implementation of the TRAIN generating even more revenue to be used for the completion of many projects and the commencement of others. These, we all hope, will continue to push our growth.

SINGING sensation Father Ray Kelly has revealed his record company told him to “p*** off” as they dumped him for being too old.
The 65-year-old cleric got a standing ovation from judge Simon Cowell on Britain’s Got Talent last week performing a moving version of REM’s hit Everybody Hurts.
His performance earned him four “yeses” and a place in the next round with Simon saying it was one of his “favourite ever auditions”.
It has been an impressive turnaround for the curate, who parted ways with his record company in 2015 after two albums.
Father Ray told the Irish Sun on Sunday: “I recorded an album with them. It was a good album but they stopped producing them after that.
“They basically told me to p*** off, ‘We’ve have had enough of you. Nah, singing priests, we’ve had enough of that kind of stuff’.
“I suppose that I just wasn’t Ed Sheeran or Hozier or one of those guys who sells millions.
“You see, my audience is a CD audience, not a download audience.
The singing priest became an online sensation in 2014 when a video of him singing Hallelujah at a wedding was uploaded to YouTube.
He was quickly signed up by Universal UK, who recorded his debut album which went on to sell 40,000 copies.
Universal Ireland then picked up an option for a Christmas album, which sold 15,000 copies.
Industry sources say Universal Ireland didn’t pick up the option for further records but stressed that both of Fr Ray’s albums remain for sale online and on CD.
Meanwhile, Fr Ray revealed BGT producers didn’t put him through the standard audition with thousands of others, and instead fast-tracked him to a live audition in front of Cowell and Co.
But he denied BGT producers improved his act and taught him the hand gestures he used during his performance.
Fr Ray — who turns 66 on Wednesday — won’t say how far he gets in auditions but that he is prepared to take time out from his parish in Oldcastle, Co Meath to pursue a singing career.
More than eight million viewers saw Fr Ray performing on BGT earlier this month.
He became a YouTube star in 2014 singing Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah at a wedding. The clip has racked up over 60million views to date.

President Obama introduced his long-awaited plan to combat climate change in a speech today at Georgetown. He's directing the EPA to limit greenhouse gas emissions from new and existing power plants, supporting more renewable energy development and expanding efficiency standards for appliances. He's also funding local initiatives to build more resilient infrastructure and calling for an end to public financing for new overseas coal plants.
California officials are welcoming the plan. Mary Nichols, who heads the California Air Resources Board, the agency that regulates pollution, said it's a good fit with the state's efforts.
"California benefits enormously from having the federal government step up with a climate program," she said. "It can only enhance our activities if we have a strong federal partner."
California's cap-and-trade program, which is managed by the Air Board, already limits carbon emissions from power plants in the state. Nichols says she expects Obama's plan will provide more federal funding for state projects, including one to reduce pollution from diesel trucks.
KQED Science managing editor Paul Rogers writes for the Mercury News on the impacts the plan will have in California.
Obama announces sweeping new global warming planIn the largest environmental initiative of his presidency, President Obama will announce this morning the nation's first mandatory restrictions on greenhouse gases from new and existing power plants. The rules, which be drafted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, are set to be unveiled at a mid-morning speech Obama is scheduled to deliver at Georgetown University.
And NPR has a national perspective on the plan.
Obama To Lay Out Broad Plan To Address Climate ChangePresident Obama is expected to announce a sweeping plan to address climate change this afternoon. Read the plan and a White House fact sheet. The president has framed this issue as a moral responsibility, to leave the Earth in good shape for generations to come.

The number of cars produced in the UK rose 10.7% year-on-year to 86,250 last month, according to new figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
There was a 4.4% year-on-year rise in car production in the January-August period of this year.
New owners may be soon be rushing to car insurance providers to take out adequate cover.
A total of 6,433 commercial vehicles were produced in August, up 9.3% year-on-year, while the figure for the first eight months of 2011 dropped 4.0%.
Data also showed a 14.4% increase in UK engine production last month, while the January-August figure was 4.8% higher compared with the corresponding period in the previous year.
Paul Everitt, chief executive of the SMMT, said: "A manufacturing-led recovery is taking shape with August's automotive output up more than 10% and a recent wave of private investment securing long-term growth for the UK sector.
"We are on target to exceed 2010 production volumes this year, with more growth to come in 2012.
Government must continue to encourage and incentivise private sector investment in research and development, skills and capital equipment to maintain momentum and deliver lasting opportunities for the UK supply base."

Sore muscles can be very troublesome for some people after an intense session of workout or exercising regime. The muscles ache for the longer time period and can be very uncomfortable. If you are not into any physical activity and you start to do it immediately then you are bound to experience some sort of muscle pain. To relieve yourself from it, there are certain steps to be followed that will give you relaxed muscles so that you will be able to resume your exercising schedule back again. Here is how.
Stretching relaxes your muscles and prepares them for the workout to follow. Make sure that you are doing stretching daily to avoid any pains in the muscles. People who work for the longer hours in the office generally complain about the back and neck pain. This can be taken care by stretching. It is something that you can do anywhere, during the lunch break in the office and it instantly relieves you from the pain. Stretching eases off the muscles and gives them a break from the certain position that you were in for the longer duration of time in the office.
Many people ignore the importance of having ample amount of water throughout the day. Water not only keeps your body hydrated, but it also aids in the functionality of the muscles. The hydrated body can function well, never gets tired easily and keeps you cool and composed. Having 7-8 glasses of water is really a healthy and good habit.
Warming up your body before doing any exercise is always a better idea. The muscles need to get warmed up prior to any exercise regime. Most of the people don’t understand the importance of a warm up session prior to the exercise and they start to do exercising directly. This may result in a muscle pull which can be painful and strenuous. To make sure that your muscles are relaxed and warmed up before your daily workout session, you need to start with a warm up exercise. This can be in a form of cycling and certain stretching exercises that warms up your muscles. There are many positions in yoga that makes your muscle stretch and at the same time they make your body warmed up for the exercising session. A warmed up body will respond to the workout in a more effective manner, keeping your muscles in a composed way.
You have to do regular workouts to make sure your body stays in shape and your muscles get regular exercising. Many people start to do exercising and then they leave it in-between. Then after some gap, they start to do the workout again. This result in sudden muscle pull up as the muscles don’t get the regular stretching and exercising and after the gap of sometime, people follow the regime they were doing before without gradually starting it again. Regular exercising ensures that your body stays in shape and your muscles in perfect tone.

'Too Sentimental' was produced by Joey Walker (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) and showcases the band's shift from lo-fi towards a cleaner aesthetic.

'Too Sentimental', which we are proud to premiere here at The 405 today, is a gorgeous-sounding piece of slightly nostalgic psych-pop which will send shivers down your spine by being simultaneously dense and uplifting.
Following the previously-shared 'Tristesse', 'Too Sentimental' was produced by Joey Walker (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) and showcases the band's shift from lo-fi towards a cleaner aesthetic: "We started by trying to mirror Deerhunter's soaring guitar sounds and eventually landed on something closer to Yes's 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' played on shittier gear," they explain.

Harrow Cyclists participated in London Cycling Campaign’s Space for Cycling campaign in April 2014. We lobbied councillor candidates in the local elections to pledge to improve cycling conditions in each individual ward in Harrow, and gained support from councillors from all parties. For each ward we suggested a specific cycling scheme, a ‘ward ask’, as an example of the changes that will be required to make Harrow a cycle-friendly borough.
We held a rally at the Civic Centre and a bike ride, highlighting the need for better cycling infrastructure in Harrow.
Camrose Avenue is the main road linking Queensbury and Edgware. The road is narrow and hostile to cycling, but there is a wide grass verge which can be used to build a high quality segregated cycle path, connecting with the proposed \’Jubilee\’ cycle path along Honeypot Lane.
Rayners Lane is the most direct link between Rayners Lane and Pinner town centres. It is too narrow for cycle paths but should not be a major route for motor traffic, which should use the major roads (Pinner Road and Imperial Drive). The junction with Village Way also needs improvement to allow cyclists approaching from the west to turn right onto the cycle path. The Rayners Lane cycle path needs to be improved by giving it priority over side roads in order to make it more convenient and attract people to cycle along it.
Harrow Town centre has a confusing one-way system and limited cycle facilities that do not reach all destinations. The surrounding roads such as Lowlands Road, Kenton Road and Sheepcote Road have poor cycling conditions. Dedicated space for cycling is required on these roads, as well as good quality cycle routes through the town centre (e.g. along College Road), with ample cycle parking close to the shops. The cycle route along Hindes Road and Elmgrove Road needs improving – traffic calming is required on Elmgrove Road to make it safer and more pleasant to cycle to Elmgrove School, the Kadwa Patidar Centre, Harrow Leisure Centre and the Belmont Trail.
Pinner Road is the major route through the area and should provide protection for cyclists from motor vehicles. This will require removal of some on-street car parking, but is essential in order for the local shops to thrive, as people need to be able to cycle to them easily. Measures should also be taken to reduce through motor traffic on minor residential roads such as Pinner View and Cunningham Park, to make it safer and more pleasant for residents and to encourage people to walk and cycle in the area.
Uxbridge Road is a major road which requires cycle paths along its length, linking with service roads along London Road at the eastern end. The route should be linked to Carpenders Park and Watford by upgrading the footpath across the field between Sylvia Avenue, Hatch End and South Oxhey.
Whitchurch Lane is a busy shopping street leading to Edgware, and Stonegrove is part of the A5, a straight and busy road leading to Central London. Whitchurch Lane has narrow advisory cycle lanes which are frequently blocked by parked cars. Marsh Road is a fast busy road which is currently a major barrier to cycling in the area. It has wide verges and service roads which can be used to create good quality segregated cycle paths linking to Honeypot Lane.
St Andrews Drive / Culver Grove / Old Church Lane is a residential road which runs parallel to Honeypot Lane, and residents have been complaining about the high volume of motor traffic on this road and parking problems. This road could be a pleasant and direct cycle route if motor traffic were reduced; this can be achieved using intermittent mode filters to prevent cars from using it as a rat-run but allowing buses and cycles.
Kenton Recreation Ground is used for cycle training and has a single cycle route. An additional east-west route would be a useful link between Kenton and Harrow and would also be useful for recreation. The Belmont Trail needs a wider tarmac surface in order to be usable by ordinary bikes, and the link between the two routes (Christchurch Avenue and the 5-arm roundabout) require segregated cycle facilities to maintain an uninterrupted, pleasant, safe cycle route.
Cycle paths along Eastcote Lane and Northolt Road will improve access to the shops, easing congestion and parking problems. The cycle path along Alexandra Avenue also needs upgrading, with priority over side roads in order to make it more convenient for cycling and therefore encourage people to cycle rather than drive.
Mollison Way is currently being rebuilt to provide car parking bays. This entails the removal of most of the street trees. This road has high traffic flow and requires segregated cycle paths which will link the Mollison Way shopping area to Queensbury Station. There is a wide verge and plenty of space for good, wide cycle paths.
Honeypot Lane has grass verges and intermittent service roads which can be linked to create segregated cycle paths. The roundabouts and other junctions also need segregated cycle facilities which are safe and do not cause undue delay to cyclists.
To provide a safe route to the town centre (joining up with the Roxeth Green Avenue cycle path), a safe and pleasant route to Whitmore School and a link between North Harrow and Rayners Lane town centres. The North Harrow cycle path needs to be upgraded to give it priority over side roads in order to make cycling more convenient. Through motor traffic on minor roads in West Harrow (e.g. Vaughan Road) should be reduced to make it more pleasant for walking and cycling.
Cycle paths are required on Pinner Road, Headstone Lane and George V Avenue to enable and encourage pupils to cycle to Nower Hill School. The North Harrow and Rayners Lane cycle paths also need to be linked along Imperial Drive and improved, with priority over side roads to make them faster and more convenient.

Pick ‘n Pay is a retailer with a 50-year history in South Africa.
Since 1967 Pick ‘n Pay has been a part of the South African retail landscape, growing to become the 2nd largest grocery store chain in the country. The brand is synonymous with Raymond Ackerman, one of the most well-respected businessmen in South Africa. Although Ackerman did not start Pick ‘n Pay, it’s his entrepreneurial spirit that turned it into what it is today. Pick ‘n Pay started out as a chain of four grocery stores that had been opened in the Western Cape by Jack Goldin. Ackerman purchased the stores from Goldin, raising the R620,000 required to buy it by putting up R100,000 of his own money and getting the remainder of it from friends and colleagues. Ackerman wasted no time in expanding the business. The first store to be opened outside Cape Town was in the town of Port Elizabeth in 1969. Pick ‘n Pay was already gaining accolades as a retail superstar having won over a loyal customer base by cutting prices on everyday food items. As Pick ‘n Pay continued to grow, Ackerman once again showed that he was a pioneer in the field by introducing the one-stop hypermarket concept to South Africa. The first Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket opened in Boksburg, Johannesburg, in 1975 with record-breaking sales made in its first days of trading. The following year, the No Name brand, Pick ‘n Pay’s private label was launched. Twenty years after the business was acquired by Ackerman, Pick ‘n Pay had a turnover of R2-billion from 100 stores. In 1994, Pick ‘n Pay started its franchise operation, opening six Family Stores. Today, Pick ‘n Pay is a 50-year-old business with more than 1,500 stores and turnover of R77-billion.
Pick ‘n Pay continues to be a largely family-managed business, with the Ackerman family holding senior leadership positions. The company expanded into the rest of Africa and has 140 stores throughout the continent. In 2011, Pick ‘n Pay launched a loyalty programme to reward its customers for their patronage. The Smart Shopper programme has more than 8-million members who can earn points on their everyday purchases. Pick ‘n Pay has always placed an emphasis on customer service and technology has been an enabler for the company to improve on their offering. The company offers a convenient home shopping and delivery service and has sped up checkout times at its tills by being the first retailer to allow contactless payments. In 2016, Pick ‘n Pay started a pilot project in its Observatory store to test self-service tills, with the possibility of a roll out to other stores in the future.
Pick ‘n Pay was founded by Jack Goldin – the same entrepreneur who started Clicks.

Jaime was consistent with her communications, and very timely in getting her designs to me for approval. The greatest care and attention-to-detail was always forefront, and Jaime was a font of ideas and her creations totally blew me away repeatedly.
I love the logos, they are perfect! They encompass everything I wanted to convey about my site.
Aligned to her passion, Jaime is an energetic and enthusiastic professional who made the work of crafting our brand, fun and rewarding.
She was able to capture the heart of who we are & what we do through her keen listening skills and ability to translate our words into a visual representation that we are so connected to and proud of.
Thank you Jaime. Your help cut through the confusion and arrived at a brand that sparkles! You are truly a gifted and talented gal.
Jaime is a bright, talented professional. We highly recommend her.
I worked with Jaime Wedholm on a logo for my new business venture. I appreciated the documentation that was required to fill out before the work started.
The (Brand Discovery) questionnaire allowed me to understand what I was trying to go for and gave Jaime a good starting point.
I loved the extensive and flexible communication via e-mail, phone calls and text during the design reviews. Her laid back, respectable approach helped create an unforgettable logo.
Jaime, your work is excellent. I have enjoyed not only what you design but the way in which you deal with your clients.
Thank you for all of the awesome designs you have created for me.
I began working with Jaime when I was shifting the focus of my business. I required a total rebrand and had no idea how to go about pulling all the pieces together.
Jaime asked some powerful questions that she then translated into a logo and brand that totally resonated with me and my business.
She also developed a guidebook, business cards, facebook and mailchimp banner and my website.
I was amazed at how she pulled the logo and brand imaging into all the pieces into a powerful, creative and perfectly aligned way. Jaime was creative, passionate and deeply committed to the project.
She was excellent at meeting the deadlines and always communicated in a timely fashion.
Jaime went above and beyond and I have already recommended her to other business acquaintances that I have.
We’re happy with the final product and design, and very appreciative of the effortless and expedient process from Brand Discovery to final design.

Love Funding, one of the nation’s leading providers of FHA multifamily, affordable and healthcare financing, announced the closing of a $5.3 million loan to substantially rehabilitate a 96-unit apartment community in Deerfield Beach, Florida, and preserve its affordable status through a unique FHA program.
Stanley Terrace was built in 1969 as a traditional public housing development, but in 2014, the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority applied for and received acceptance to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program.
The RAD program was created by HUD in 2014 to convert public housing units to long-term Section 8 contracts, allowing the units to remain affordable to low-income households. Rather than having to apply annually for operation and management subsidies through the federal public housing budget, the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority was able to convert those funds into Section 8 rental subsidies. This allows them to offer market rents, since the rental assistance makes the units affordable. Consequently, the Authority can operate and renovate the property with debt that is supported by net income, like any other property owner.
Love Funding Midwest Regional Director Bruce Gerhart secured the loan through HUD’s 221(d)(4) Substantial Rehabilitation Program in combination with short-term tax exempt bonds from the state of Florida and 4% low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs). This was the first RAD conversion in Florida to utilize 4% credits and bonds.
Additionally, Love Funding worked with its parent, Midland States Bank, to make a “one day” loan to facilitate the release of the short-term bonds and to recognize the contributed value of the property from the Housing Authority to the new partnership. The technique, which was necessary for the transaction to be completed, will soon be replicated on a similar transaction in New York.
Darren Smith of Smith & Henzy Advisory Group, Inc., and C. Ray Baker & Associates were instrumental in helping guide the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority through this complicated transaction. The financing will help the Authority implement a wide range of repairs and renovations to the property’s units, including remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, window and roof replacements, and the repair of all existing mechanical and electrical systems. A special ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the property on October 11 to showcase the improvements. Speakers at the event included Deerfield Beach Mayor Jean Robb, District 2 Commissioner Gloria Battle, State Representative Gwendolyn Clarke-Reed, Former DBHA Chairman Keith Emery, and County Commissioner Chip LaMarca.

JewishWorldReview.com | What is the test of a truly great person? Is there some kind of litmus test which can identify our true essence?
Chapter 27 of the Book of Proverbs says Ish lefi mahalalo, which Rabbeinu Yonah, one of our great commentators from the Middle Ages, translates to mean that a person's definition is in accordance with what he praises.
If we want to know the true nature of a person, there is only one question to ask: what is it that they praise? What is important to them and what are their priorities? By answering that, we get a glimpse into the true character of a person. If we want to know about a society, we must ask who its heroes are and what are its priorities and values, for the things we value reveal who we are.
Rabbi Yitzchak Hutner, one of the great rabbinic leaders of the twentieth century, says that there are some people -- cynics -- who actually praise nothing. In the language of our Sages, such a person is called a letz, a "scoffer." For the cynic, life is empty; there is nothing worthy of praise, nothing important, special or meaningful. Cynicism means looking at life coldly and esteeming nothing. Thus, it is not only about what we do or do not value which reflects our true character, but whether in fact we value anything at all.
On the upcoming festival of Purim, the 14thday of the Jewish month of Adar, we read about the Haman's attempted genocide against the Jewish people and the great miracles that He performed to bring about the Jews' salvation. But Purim isn't just about an attempted genocide against the Jewish people and Mordechai and Esther's intervening in order to save them. Something else was taking place --- a much deeper, philosophical struggle.
To understand this, let us first understand why this festival is called Purim. Purim actually means "the casting of lots." When Haman decided he was going to wipe out the entire Jewish people throughout the Persian Empire, he cast lots to pick a date for the genocide. It came out to the 13th day of the month of Adar, the day that we now observe as the Fast of Esther. The Ibn Ezra, one of our commentators from the Middle Ages, points out that the word Purim is not even a Hebrew word, but a Persian one. Why does the festival get a name which signifies the random casting of lots? And why a Persian word?
This raises another question: Why did Haman cast random lots to choose a date for destroying the Jewish people, instead of picking a date that would be convenient for him? Normally, when planning an event -- and certainly when someone is planning genocide -- one would plan it at a suitable, carefully thought-out time. It's hard enough to plan the logistics of something of such magnitude; why didn't Haman pick a date that would suited him and his troops best (for example, a time of year when the weather is suitable, and other considerations)? Why did he cast random lots?
Haman came from the nation of Amalek --- the ultimate cynics. We see their true nature exhibited in the first attack against the Jewish people, which the verse (Deut. 25:18 ) describes as asher karcha baderech who "chanced upon you on the way." The word karcha, from the word mikreh, means "by chance," representing Amalek's philosophy that everything happens by chance. They believed in the randomness of life and were the ultimate cynics.
When the Jewish people came out of Egypt, no one would dare to go near them. The Torah describes the fear and trepidation that the nations felt in the face of this nation which had just emerged victorious from Egypt, the superpower at that time, and had witnessed the miracles of the ten plagues and the splitting of the sea. There was an aura of invincibility about the Jewish people, till Amalek came and tampered with this aura. The foremost commentator, Rashi, compares Amalek's attack to a boiling hot bath; no one wants to get in but after the first person jumps in, the bath cools off and then other people feel at ease to jump in as well. So too with Amalek: once they attacked, the Jews were no longer invincible and other nations felt at ease to attack.
What gave Amalek the confidence to attack the Jews? It was their cynicism. They saw the plagues and the miracles and it meant nothing to them. Their worldview was based on a philosophy of randomness, that life is meaningless and makes no difference and that things just "happen." Haman's method of casting lots for a date for the genocide stemmed from Amalek's worldview. The word Purim represents the philosophy against which the Jewish people were fighting at the time --- the philosophy of Amalek, the worldview that life is empty and random.
Judaism is based on a belief in purpose and Divine Providence. G-d created the world and it is perfect by design; it didn't just "happen." Each one of us is in this world because G-d wants us to be here. He has given each of us a mission to fulfill and therefore what we do is indeed meaningful and important. The whole Torah is based on the fact that what we do, each and every single day, is important; whether we avoid gossiping, whether we give charity, whether we eat kosher --- whatever it is, it is actually important to G-d. Everything we do on a daily basis has significance in His eyes; it is neither random nor meaningless. Amalek believed nothing made any difference, that nothing is important or special.
One of the core concepts of Judaism is what we call in Hebrew kedusha. It is a term that is difficult to translate, though it is generally translated as "holiness."

Holiness means something that has been designated for a specific purpose, something which is special. This is why one of the components of a Jewish marriage ceremony is kiddushin, from the word kedusha, signifying that there is a special relationship here, and that this man and this woman have designated one another as spouse to the exclusion of all others.
Holiness means that there is something special in this world and thus it is the very opposite of the concept of randomness. The theory of random evolution seeks to exclude G-d from the creation of the world, claiming that this magnificent world in all of its perfection just came about randomly. But it's even more than that: it's a philosophy which says that life is meaningless. If life came about just by chance, if we are all here because of some big accident, then life is indeed meaningless and it makes no difference what we do, whether we are good or bad, whether we lead a good life or not. From the perspective of evolutionary theory, nothing we do matters because the whole world and our existence therein is simply an accident. This is the ultimate cynicism.
In contrast, Judaism teaches that life is special and significant. In fact, the recognition that human life is precious is the basis for morality: if there is no value to human life, what is the crime of harming another human being? Morality is founded on the principle that human life is sacred, and is not just an accident; human beings didn't just "happen"; they were created by G-d and they have a Godly soul which makes them special. This is kedusha, sanctity: recognizing that life is special, that what we do is special and that every human being is special; we are not here by accident.
According to Amalek's worldview, if human beings are indeed just an "accident," then there is nothing wrong with harming them. It's not coincidental that Haman was comfortable with genocide; when you believe life is a random accident and nothing is important, when you believe there is nothing special about human beings, it's not a far jump to genocide. But Judaism is about holiness, which means every human being is created in the image of G-d and, therefore, to harm another person is to trespass on the sacred property of the Divine.
The great heroine of the Purim story is Queen Esther. The name Esther comes from the word "hiddenness," which the Talmud explains comes from the verse where G-d says "on that day I will hide My face." There are times in our history -- and in our own personal lives -- when G-d's presence is hidden; but although he is hidden, it doesn't mean He is not there.
Queen Esther came with the belief that G-d designed the world and imbued creation with a purpose, and that He is interested in what happens in the world at large and in our personal lives. He watches over human affairs, He guides the world and everything He does is ultimately for the good. Even though at times we go through difficulties and suffering and we can't see the bigger picture, we believe with perfect faith that He is there and guiding our destiny. Esther believed in Divine Providence, in a Godly purpose and a Divine plan, and therefore she stood up against Haman who believed in the randomness of things.
The message of the Book of Esther is that there is a Divine plan. G-d intervenes not only via open miracles such as the ten plagues and the splitting of the sea, but also via hidden miracles, guiding events behind the scenes. Queen Esther was appointed just in time to foil Haman's scheme; although it appeared "natural," it was not random. On Passover we celebrate the revealed hand of G-d, the open miracles; but Purim is about seeing G-d's hidden hand and recognizing that these miracles, although they are hidden, are no less important than the revealed miracles. They are all the work of G-d, who has a purpose and a plan for us.
This is why on Purim we celebrate like no other festival. It's a celebration of life itself, and the victory over Amalek, the archenemy of the Jewish people and the epitome of cynicism. Our response to cynicism is inspiration and joy.
Judaism teaches us not to be cynical about life but to be inspired. We must not view life with cold emptiness; rather, we must view G-d's plan and design with passion and energy, living every moment like it is a precious gift because indeed it is. Purim is about seizing life and living it in accordance with His will and valuing what we do and who we are. How we live our lives is so important and so precious in G-d's eyes and when we realize that, it brings the ultimate joy: nothing is as joyful as knowing that our lives have purpose, meaning and eternal significance.

Which, dude, is ridiculous. But you're forgiven. The blog's high quality, and chinabites itself is looking sharp.
The first version of chinabites was born of Wiley's desire to teach himself how to build websites in the Django framework.
And it was born of the fact that he loves introducing unsuspecting foreign visitors to the best restaurants in Beijing. And by best, I mean best. Not most popular. Not most novel. Not most foreigner friendly. Best. Most delicious. According to Wiley. And, in my opinion, the man's an authority.
His goal was to tackle the language barrier and the navigation barrier and get hungry foreigners to the tastiest food in Beijing. Without translators. Without tour guides. Without long negotiations with confused taxi drivers.
So he started taking pictures of food, writing about food, and building a space to house a little online community. An online community dedicated to sharing Beijing's best food.
He's had the site live and running for many months, but I think right now is a natural time to start tuning in.
He just launched the second version of the site (fully rewrote and redesigned the whole beast). He just added the blog to the experience. And he just landed back in Beijing, armed with a camera and an intense hankering to eat the greatest food in the world.
I woke up this morning to an email from him. He'd gone out to his first Chinese meal in months, and he was in heaven. Such heaven, in fact, that he'd forgotten to take pictures.
We'll let you get away with that one time, Wiley. I'm expecting new pictures. With the quickness.
But back to the chinabites blog for a second.
I think it's curious that Wiley would name what the rest of the world hopes will be a lifetime blog effort after something other than a Prairie Dogg.
The more I think about it, though, the more I like it. Prairie Doggs don't need blog title nametags. They roam free, digging holes in the prairie wherever they damn well please.
And maybe it'll be fun to read "the chinabites blog" in some distant future lifetime when Wiley's posting about space travel in giant umbrellas.
Or, if he chooses not make the chinabites blog his lifelong dogg house, it'll be fun to follow him as he tunnels through the depths of the internets, popping his head out of a series of networked holes, each pop and gaze more focused and alert than the last.
chinabites, AKA stay hungry looking at pictures of delicious food while you're thousands of miles away. thanks jake.
Maybe you should keep chinabites handy just in case you get yourself into an ill-advised eating competition and need a little instant hunger creation.

I was invited to a press breakfast at the International Beauty Show hosted by SHE by SO.CAP, a hair extension company. I loved learning about this company and their commitment to working with the American Cancer Society and patients that are dealing with hair loss due to cancer treatment. Prior to visiting the beauty show, I had no experience with hair extensions. I was impressed with all the options that SHE by SO.CAP offers (like 91 hair color options(!!!) with 3 different textures – curly, straight and wavy), as well as how natural and beautiful the extensions are. They work well on all hair colors and types, so you can go subtle and use extensions that match or complement your hair color, or you can go with a fantasy color shade for a pop of color.
The company developed a cold fusion technique which allows the keratin pre-bonded extensions to be safely applied close to the scalp. They do not damage the hair, are easy to maintain and keep clean, are made from natural, human hair, and can help you achieve your ultimate hair look.
I received some SHE by SO.CAP sample clip-in hair extensions to try and I was pleasantly surprised with how easy they were to wear and how soft the hair was. It blended nicely with my hair and gave me more volume. I also tried clip-in bling and feather extensions and these were so fun and added some flair to my hair when I wanted to stand out and make a statement. I think extensions are a wonderful way to experiment with your hair without doing anything damaging or permanent.
Whether you are looking for bonded extensions to create your ultimate hair look, or looking for a quick hairstyle change for an event or occasion, SHE by SO.CAP has extensions for you. They offer keratin-bonded, clip-in full head of hair, clip-in ponytails, clip-in fringe, and clip-in feather and bling extensions. They also offer a full hair care line to keep your hair and extensions looking their best.

Let’s look at how low the bar has to be set to find a member of either party who did something that was morally right, instead of what would get him/her re-elected. Senator McCain, one of the Keating Five, is being praised and honored for not agreeing with a woman who said Obama was a Muslim.
McCain had the self-knowledge to understand that he wasn’t very good at waffling. He explained: “Every time I did something because I thought it would be politically helpful, it turned out badly.” As an example, he cited his pandering to southern conservatives during the 2000 South Carolina primary when he said flying the Confederate flag at the state Capitol was a state issue.
But this is not about John McCain. It is about where we set the bar for politicians’ moral behavior and intentions. A man who admits to doing what is politically helpful is being praised because he was a maverick once in a while. Why doesn’t the media follow McCain’s maverick example and point to when he lowered the bar, too?
We lost a “great” man. There were times when he did not lie, cheat, steal, pander, obfuscate, distort, or denigrate others to get himself elected.
BTW–Now we know that McCain was not tortured by the north Vietnamese for five years at Hanoi Hilton. Instead, based on the perspective of his own political party, he was subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques.” How could he remain a Republican after the Bush administration? Oh — I forgot. He had to get re-elected in Barry Goldwater’s state of Arizona.
McCain was probably the most complex senator in my lifetime. At one time, he favored campaign finance reform, carbon credits, immigration reform. Then he didn’t. He was a war hawk and a deficit dove. He was talked about as a VP candidate on the Democratic ticket with John Kerry. He picked Sarah Palin as his own running mate. He endorsed Trump until the Access Hollywood tape, and then he said he wouldn’t vote for him. His vote against ACA repeal famously saved health insurance for millions. It’s hard to say how many of these things were done on principal and how many for politics. He kept getting re-elected in Arizona despite his all-over-the-map positions. Good or bad, like him or hate him, there aren’t any like him left in Washington.

text: These stones inspire me. I have wondered to try. They are very unusual, large and intense. And now, this chain has become one of the most extraordinary. It can be worn in summer and winter. Selected clear and earthy tones.

As you walk through the aisles of your local supermarket, or even peruse the Internet marketplace, you are often bombarded with multiple products that you would never imagine purchasing. Really, your wildest dreams don’t even have you buying some of the stuff you can find in the darkest corners of the Web.
Don’t worry if you have no idea what this means, as it only applies to those in Russia. The number 228 happens to correspond to the Russian Criminal Code for possession of narcotics, and has become a popular logo for kids to wear that want to show their disrespect for the law. Many shirts also come with the phrase (translated from Russian): “Beware of 228 if you powder your nose.” I guess they’re not big on subtlety.
Sauna lovers across this great nation no longer need to stay at home alone when they want to relax in the heat. Instead, they can enlist in the services of a mobile sauna truck that will take them, as well as a group of friends, deep into the woods for a fun-filled sauna adventure. The driver can often find sub-alpine lakes that act as a wonderful way to cool off after a few minutes inside the heat of the truck. If you go, make sure to bring your own towel, and leave your integrity at home.
Utilized rather rarely in the rural areas of Belarus, the cucumber picker consists of a central tractor, pulling a device on which ten different individuals can lie. As the tractor moves over the cucumber fields, the people can pick the vegetables from the ground with their bare hands, and put them on a conveyor belt that moves towards the center of the contraption.
This door chain is for those who truly wish to test the intellectual might of anyone wishing to leave. Instead of consisting of a regular chain track, the Defendius holds a full labyrinth that must be passed by the lock before the individual may pass through. This is good to prevent the exit of animals, toddlers, and even relatively smart adults.
Created by Leon Theremin, this bizarre instrument has been a staple in the soundtrack of video games and horror movies for centuries. Utilizing high-frequency radio beams, the performer of the Theremin can use their hands to control the pitch and volume of notes performed, without actually touching the device. The electric signals are then amplified, and projected through a loudspeaker. While the sounds produced by the Theremin are by no means pretty, they do act as wonderful entrance music for any ghost or zombie.
While this may sound cool, it’s probably not what you think. Unlike a jet pack, the propeller backpack is mainly used by one individual in Russia who skis to work – instead of pushing himself though, he relies on the fan strapped to his back as a type of motor. Here in the US, where alpine skiing to work isn’t as popular, it may garner a few questionable glances and even a call to the police.
Kaspersky Labs, a company in Moscow that focuses on cybersecurity, came out with an antivirus device that can be attached to the computer as an additional peripheral that will protect the computer from viruses. They believe this is a wonderful alternative, as software can often become compromised.
What they may not have fully realized though, is that because the device lacks network access, it would need to be updated and installed via software – thereby becoming a complete contradiction.
Fashion in the States may be strange, but fashion across the ocean will most likely leave you with more than a few questions. The Boyar Hat, an item worn by Russian nobility in the 15th through 17th centuries, is one such item – of course, it wouldn’t be so strange if not for the fact that it has made a recent comeback into the world of Russian high fashion. At least their heads won’t get cold.
This stringed instrument, while popular across Russia, probably wouldn’t make much of a splash in the American market. And it’s not because we’re musically disinclined – it’s really just because we already have guitars.
As if regular chess weren’t hard enough, Russians, back in the 1700s, created a four-person chess game variety that allowed for a multiplayer contest. The board was shaped to allow each player an individual corner fortress, and play could involve team or individual competitions.
This one might not catch on here, though – most of us are still trying to figure out the rules of real chess.
Of course, this list isn't meant to say that the United States doesn't have its fair share of oddities as well. But unless you enjoy hot sauna romps in the woods with a few of your best friends, or neverending games of multiplayer chess, you may want to thank your lucky stars that you ended up in the red, white, and blue.
