Are your icons working for you?
Icons and infographics are so integral to all GUIs (OS’s and online) that, like the street signs outside your window, we hardly notice them, even when we’re using them. And that’s exactly the way it really should be. The first time we see one it should help explain a concept behind a menu item, button or link — perhaps with a shopping cart silhouette next to a purchase option or a disk next to the ‘save’ option. After the first time, we then tend to use them as flags or landmarks to move around interfaces we are familiar with.
However, there are time when that imagery can work against what you’re trying to achieve. Sometimes it can be as simple as emphasizing the wrong part of an interaction. In an online shopping situation, do you mark the ‘BUY’ button with coins or bills — emphasizing what the user is losing — or do you associate the process with the shopping cart or bag, emphasizing what your user is gaining. We don’t have to bug the Amazon board room to know the answer to that one.
I saw another case in point today. About a month ago I installed a new Antispam extension for Thunderbird — the curiously named ‘Spamato‘. The system works nicely by combining a number of techniques and allowing you to adjust the relative influence of each one. The system learns quickly, but still requires you to manually tag good and bad mail for it to learn from.
While the decisions it made were generally excellent, I had a small but nagging issue. Every time I went to mark an email as spam, I felt a strange sense of unease. Often I’d find myself hovering over that ‘SPAM’ button, wanting to push it, but with a nagging doubt, which I could never quite put my finger on. I felt like I was doing something wrong, but I couldn’t figure out why.
Finally, I took a moment to analyze what was happening and figured it out.
The text on the button is fine — it say ‘Spam’. Simple and succinct. However the icon is of an envelope overlapped by the classic red, barred circle — the universal symbol for ‘Don’t’ or ‘No‘ or ‘Forbidden‘. Read together, you could interpret the imagery as ‘No Mail‘ or ‘Not Mail‘ — one way of describing spam, I guess.
However, in the setting of an email client, the iconic image of an envelope is used so often that it almost loses it’s meaning. Envelope icons are used, naturally enough, throughout all levels of the application, and there are six more just on the main navigation panel.
So, when I hover my mouse over that button, what message am I subconsciously getting?
The big red ‘Not‘ symbol and the word ‘Spam‘. My conscious mind knows from experience that this is the Spam tagging button, but somewhere deeper, a part of my brain is screaming ‘No! It says NOT SPAM!!!‘. Precisely the opposite result to what the icon is trying to achieve.
Likewise, the accompanying button for tagging ‘good mail’ is marked with the negative ‘Not Spam’ label, but then paired with a positive, affirming green tick. Not quite as psychologically potent as that red circle device, but still counterintuitive to my way of thinking, anyway.
I’ve got an idea these icons are actually generic and used in other antispam extensions including Spambayes so they’ve made their way onto a lot of desktops.
So, am I being to too picky? Is it just me?
I might put some thought into designing some new icons that support their labels a little more. In fact maybe new labels might make sense. ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ are simple concepts that are more deeply wired into our heads than ‘spam’ and ‘Not spam’, so maybe it makes sense to tap into those deeper ‘gut feelings’.
Perhaps you have some ideas yourself? I’d be interested to see some other approaches.

The opportunity of our time is to support the weird, to sell to the weird and, if you wish to become weird.
Everyone keeps publishing detailed maps so other explorers can go even faster.
Smart marketers are already supporting those that wish to choose.
The weird are now more important that the many, because weird are the many.
They are addicted to mass and there’s no mass available.
If you cater to the normal, you will disappoint weird.
Instead of reaching 5 percent of the geeks in your segment, the combination of permission marketing and the connections of tribes might permit you to reach 20 percent.
Humanity and connection are trumping the desire for corporate scale.
Average is for marketers who don’t have enough information to be accurate.
Every company in the Fortune 500 uses similar HR policies. It feels good the be part of the herd.
The urgent uptake of mobile devices is further proof that individuals want to connect with their tribe (their FB, Twitter etc.) far more than they want to interact with the more average (more normal) world.
Mobile rewards right here, right now, all about me thinking, which is anathema to the factory-based marketer in search of mass.
Those brave enough to seek weird will thrive.
The weird set an example for the rest of us. They raise the bar, they show us through their actions that in fact we are wired to do the new, not to comply with someone a thousand miles away.
The middle is the reason we started school in the first place: to populate our culture with normal.
The factory-for-the-production-of-normal works overtime to sanitize and corporatize and discipline our kids into normalcy.
We can’t mass produce students when we have to work with them one at a time or in like-minded groups.
The stories of so many outliers are remarkably familiar. They didn’t like conformity forced on them by school. Struggled. Suffered. Survived. And now they’re revered.
My proposed solution is simple: don’t waste a lot of time and money pushing kids into directions they don’t want to go. Instead, find out what weirdness they excel at and encourage them to do that. Then get out of the way.
I was wondering if you could sum up few ‘features’ and ‘characteristics’, which make us – Super Cool Gang-ers weird? What make us out of normal? If you are asked to describe someone a typical reader of this blog, how would you describe us? Why are we different? Are we?
« Talk Is Short. Art Is Long.
As Seth mentioned in his blog post last week -“Go ahead and invent your own cover if you like. Weird is everywhere you look, even the mirror.” So I thought I’d make it easy for any weirdoes like me to do so. You can create your own book cover at http://www.customweareallweird.com.

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. It's ashame that theory is so often confused with a claim yet to be proven, ignorance like this is inexcusable. The data to prove that evolution is occuring, is all around us. The theory or mechanism in which it occurs is being discussed by the worlds best scientists everyday.
A great summation of evolution.
A rebuttal to someone who doesn't understand evolution.
YouTube Video on Eye Evolution.
I think the miscoceptions come from ignorance of scientific method. If you've got an idea that seems plausable but hasn't been thoroughly tested, you've got a hypothosis. If your hypothosis has yielded positive proof through testing, yet there are too many factors to declare it absolute (meaning the same with every occurance), you've got a theory. If that theory proves itself to be unchanging no matter the circumstances, you've got a law. Hence the difference between the "theory" of evolution and the "law" of gravity. Gravity is gravity is gravity, it has very specific traits and always folows them. Evolution is chaos in action, for the most part, it changes with species, environment, and interaction with both. More people need to familiarize themselves with these basic precepts of science.

well, can you present me a "circumstancial time" that evolution hasnt worked? i mean, you make it sound like evolution has no guide lines. . .
Evolution has very little in the way of guidelines, it's very random and chaotic. As for a time it didn't work, where are the Neanderthals? Evolution didn't seem to work out so well for them. Or how about Carcharadon Megalodon, or the Tasmanian Tiger, or any number of species now exticnt because evolution worked them into a corner they couldn't get out of. All because they became too specialized for a certain type of environment and when their environment changed, they couldn't adapt quickly enough and therefore went extinct. Note that I'm not including Dinosaurs, that was a freak cosmic accident, or the Dodo, that was our stupidity. If you want more examples, just let me know.
Suffice it to say, you’re both wrong and both right.
Gravity is a law - as well as a theory and a fact; much like evolution is.
We can express how gravity works in a very simple equation: the force of gravity is the product of the masses in question, divided by their product in respect to the gravitational constant. That’s all well and good. That’s the LAW of gravitation. There is also the theory of gravitation that endeavors to explain why matter has mass and gravitational force. There is also the fact of gravitation that explains why it hurts when I hold a brick over your head and drop it.
Evolution is not simple enough at the moment to be described in a single equation as gravity is - hence evolution is not a law. However, the theory of evolution explains the facts that we observe in a coherent, scientific, evidenced based and logical manner. That life changes over time is the FACT of evolution, the theory of natural selection explains these simple facts.
Please endeavor to understand the differences between these terminologies. A theory is not subservient to a law - they are fundamentally different things.
It's the "Mailbag Response: Dissent from an atheist" in the front page Flam player.

text: There is an engineer and a mathematician in each of us. My blog posts, for instance, alternate between discussing write ordering in the x86 processor, and explaining abstract ideas from category theory. I might be a bit extreme in this respect, but even in everyday programming we often switch between the focused, low-level, practical thinking of an engineer and the holistic, global, abstract thinking of a mathematician. Sometimes we write a for loop; sometimes we holistically apply std::transform to a vector. Sometimes we write imperative step-by-step programs; and sometimes we write declarative ones, letting the compiler figure out the steps.

Often misunderstood because they are considered aggressive or mean, there is a lot that can be done to bring out the best in the Rottweiler Temperament.
Like other breeds such as the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Staffordshire Terrier and the Doberman Pinscher, these dogs have gotten a bad reputation, but let’s take a look at the true Rottweiler temperament and personality. Of course, not all individual Rottweilers will display all of the following Rottweiler traits. However, here are some common Rottweiler behaviors to consider if you are thinking about adding a Rottie to your home.
At over 100 pounds (females can be as much as 114 pounds and males usually max out at 130), the Rottweiler is considered a Large Breed and as far as they are concerned that just means there is more to love.
You might be surprised to find out that the Rottie was originally bred to herd sheep as far back as ancient Roman times.
It is hard to imagine a dog with a reputation for being aggressive (see 9 Most Aggressive Dogs) being trusted with something as passive and gentle as sheep.
The Rottweiler is sometimes referred to as the “Butcher Dog” which might be partly responsible for their bad reputation.
But the nickname has nothing to do with the Rottweiler temperament and everything to do with the fact that they would actually haul carts full of meat to and from the butcher’s shop.
In general, the Rottweiler temperament can be described using the “three C’s” of dog temperaments.
Though owners can do a lot to alter this, the natural tendency for Rottweiler temperament is to be calm and mellow most of the time.
But like most dogs, if left alone or not given enough exercise their calm nature can turn into bad behavior.
On the list of Most Intelligent Dogs, the Rottweiler comes in 9th out of 80 breeds!
Having a smart dog can be wonderful, but just like with really smart children, if their minds are not kept occupied it can lead to trouble.
Advanced obedience training and Search and Rescue work are both activities that Rottweilers can excel at while providing them with both physical exercise and mental challenges.
Herding – As mentioned, Rotties were originally bred to be herding dogs and, with the right kind of training, this can be a fun activity for both you and your dog. Your dog can earn awards for herding ducks, geese, sheep or cows.
Carting – You can have a harness made for your Rottweiler and hitch him to a cart which he will proudly tow around the neighborhood!
Flyball – This exciting sport combines the canine favorite Fetch with agility type obstacles. As a team sport consisting of 4 dogs and their handlers, it is vital that your Rottie be well socialized before participating in this or any other group activity.
The calm Rottweiler temperament is appealing to people who crave an athletic, but not an overly hyper pet.
Their courage is one of the aspects of a Rottweiler’s temperament that is both a blessing and a curse. Fiercely loyal and alert, the fearless Rottweiler temperament makes him an ideal guard dog.
You can find many news stories about Rotties protecting their family, even to the death from danger.
In the wrong hands, however, the courageous Rottweiler temperament can be turned into aggression towards other dogs and humans.
You can teach your Rottweiler to be an obedient and safeguard dog by using gentle but firm training techniques and by giving him plenty of love and affection.
I have heard a veterinarian said that he was more worried about handling Chihuahuas than Rottweilers. When I asked why he explained that Chihuahuas lack confidence and a scared dog will do whatever it thinks it has to protect itself.
It is this confidence and fearlessness that has led to negative press regarding the Rottweiler’s temperament because theself-assuredd Rottweiler temperament is something that can be ruined by poor handling.
Many people want to know: how is the Rottweiler temperament with kids? The answer to this question varies depending on the individual dog and the children in the household.
Due to the breed’s size and strength, the Rottweiler tends do best in homes with older children or teens.
If they are trained, socialized and supervised properly, Rottweilers can be good companions for kids. In fact, the devoted Rottweiler temperament makes this breed a loyal guardian to the children in their family.
However, it is crucial for adults to supervise and guide all interactions between children and dogs of any breed.
Rotties can get along nicely with other dogs as long as they are socialized and supervised.
However, not all Rottweilers enjoy the company of other dogs, and they can be territorial and dominant towards other dogs that invade their property.
It is important for you to know your dog’s preferences and be cautious around other dogs.
The same thing goes for the Rottweiler temperament with cats.
Some rotties coexist peacefully with felines, but others are not socialized to cats. Always keep your Rottweiler on a leash and under control when other animals are in the vicinity.
Are there differences between the male Rottweiler temperament and the female Rottweiler temperament?
Although some owners will have a personal preference, most professionals feel that there are no major differences between the temperaments of males and females.
Try to remain open to both genders when you are looking for a dog that will be the right for your family.
It may be hard to believe that these big, tough dogs aren’t indestructible but like many large breeds, the Rottweiler has its share of health issues.
Big dogs tend to gulp their food which can lead to a bloated stomach which in turn can lead to a very painful gastric torsion.
Dogs who eat or drink large amounts can cause excess gas and fluids to build up which can cause the stomach to expand and possibly rotate.
You can avoid this problem by feeding your Rottie smaller amounts several times a day and by keeping him calm after meals.
Many Rottweilers are prone to hip dysplasia but you can help stave off symptoms by keeping your Rottie from becoming overweight, by feeding him high quality food and by giving him with joint supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin.
With proper care and maintenance, the average Rottweiler lifespan is between 9 and 10 years.
The Rottweiler is an ancient breed that dates back to the Roman Empire.
The ancestors of the modern Rottweiler dog made their way to the town of Rottweil, Germany, where they were selectively bred to develop the breed that we know today.
Rottweiler dogs were historically used for herding, carting, police work, protection, and a myriad of other tasks.
Today, some 7 Rotties are still used as service dogs and search and rescue dogs.
Rottweilers are large dogs with a distinctive appearance.
The average Rottweiler weight is between 80 and 135 pounds. The average Rottweiler height is between 22 and 27 inches.
Rottweiler colors are almost always black and tan.
And Rottweiler tails are almost always docked at birth.
Grooming this breed is very easy! The Rottweiler coat is short and easy to maintain.
Occasional brushing and bathing will suffice.
This is not a breed that requires professional hair care.
However, you should set aside a little time to trim their toenails, clean their ears and brush their teeth from time to time.
Training your Rottweiler is extremely important.
These are very large, imposing dogs, so it is crucial that they are well trained and socialized when they are out in the community.
If you acquire your dog as a puppy, sign up for a puppy socialization class. This is a great way to socialize your puppy with other people and other dogs.
If you acquire your Rottie as an adult, you can still socialize him with people and animals using rewards and positive reinforcement.
Positive reinforcement is the most effective and humane form of training for this breed. Never use force-based methods such as alpha roles or painful training tools such as shock collars or pinch collars with this breed.
If you encounter any Rottweiler temperament problems, seek guidance from a professional dog trainer or canine behaviorist.
Once you have mastered the basics, you can even explore the world of competitive canine sports. The obedient Rottweiler temperament makes this breed a fierce competitor at agility, rally obedience, and scent work.
For help with training your Rottweiler dog take a look at The Online Dog Trainer by Doggy Dan. Doggy Dan is an expert Dog Trainer based in New Zealand. His online resource contains Hundreds of Excellent Dog Training Videos that will take you step-by-step through the process of developing a healthy, happy well-behaved dog.
Exercise is a very important key to success with training any breed of dog.
A tired dog is a good dog! If you are struggling with behavior issues, increase your dog’s daily exercise. Also, increase their mental enrichment.
If you would like to add a Rottie to your family, please consider opening your home to a Rottweiler in need of adoption!
There are a lot of Rottweilers in shelters and rescue groups around the country that need loving homes.
Most of the Rottweilers in shelters are there through no fault of their own. Some owners are forced to surrender their dogs when they move to apartments where Rottweilers are not permitted. Sadly, the Rottweiler is a breed that is often banned by landlords. Before you bring home one of these dogs, make sure you are 100% positive that you can have one where you live!
Since Rottweilers are so loyal to their owners, they do not do well in animal shelters. If you absolutely must rehome your Rottie, try to avoid bringing him to an animal shelter at all costs.
To find a Rottweiler for adoption, you can visit Petfinder.com, Adoptapet.com or Getyourpet.com.
You can also find breed rescue groups that specialize in Rottweilers by searching Google, Facebook, and the Rottweiler Rescue Foundation.
You can also put an application on file with your local humane society or animal shelter. Ask to be notified about any Rottweiler or Rottweiler mix.
When you adopt a Rottweiler through a rescue group or shelter, the adoption fee will likely be between $75 and $300 depending on the organization. Most adopted Rotties will come to you already spayed, neutered, vaccinated and vetted.
If you decide to purchase a Rottweiler puppy from a breeder, do your research to make sure you find a responsible breeder who is invested in health and behavior.
Never buy Rottweiler puppies over the internet or from a pet store. If you do, you are most likely supporting the cruel industry of puppy mills.
You can start your search for responsible Rottweiler breeders by contacting The American Rottweiler Club.
The club members can refer you to responsible breeders in your area.
Once you identify a promising breeder, make an appointment to visit that breeder in person. Ask to meet the breeding dogs and make sure they have sound temperaments. Talk with the breeder about behavioral traits, health concerns, and ask to see medical records.
Some breeders will even conduct a Rottweiler temperament test on every litter of pups so they can try to match the right puppies with the right prospective buyers.
The breeder will have questions for you as well. Good breeders want to make sure that their puppies end up in the best possible homes. Your breeder will probably ask you to sign a spay/neuter agreement promising to alter your pup at the appropriate age. Your breeder will also ask you to return the puppy to them if things do not work out for any reason.
If your breeder does not talk with you about these things or does not allow you to visit, these are worrisome signs. Keep looking for another option.
When you purchase your puppy from a high-quality breeder, the Rottweiler price will probably be around $1500.
Is the Rottweiler the right dog for you?
Now that you have learned about Rottweiler temperament pros and cons, it is time to decide if a Rottweiler is the right breed for you.
These big, beautiful dogs can be wonderful family pets for the right person. However, their strong personality can be too much for novice owners.
If you want a confident dog that will be a loving part of your family, the Rottweiler temperament might be a good match for you. The steady and good-natured Rottweiler temperament makes this breed a favorite for many.
Just be sure that you can commit to providing a home for your dog’s whole life. These devoted dogs do not do well when they are abandoned at animal shelters or shuffled from home to home.

Good morning! Our Scripture for today is John 20: 24-31 Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord! But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.” A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
This passage always reminds me of my humanity and Jesus’ perfection. As a grumpy, fault-finding human, I would have jumped on what Thomas did wrong and let him know I was irritated that he didn’t trust me or our friends. I would definitely not let life win; just the opposite. But in His perfection and loving gentleness, Jesus doesn’t condemn Thomas; instead He invites Thomas to touch His wounds and believe. He then uses Thomas’ “I’ll believe it when I see it” attitude to remind us that we won’t have the benefit of seeing before believing. We must believe by faith that Jesus is present when we invite Him to be. The notes in my study Bible sum it up well: “A physical appearance would not make Jesus any more real to us than He is now.” Jesus IS real and Jesus IS alive; seeing and touching Him would not make him any more real or alive – He either is, or He isn’t. We choose to believe, through faith given by God, that Jesus is not only real, He is ALIVE.
Jesus, I sincerely receive you as my life, my holiness and strength, and I receive all the work and triumph of your resurrection, through which you have conquered sin and death and judgment. Death has no mastery over you, nor does any foul thing. And I have been raised with you to a new life, to live your life – dead to sin and alive to God. I now take my place in your resurrection and in your life, through which I am saved by your life. I reign in life through your life. I receive your life – your humility, love and forgiveness, your integrity in all things, your wisdom, discernment and cunning, your strength, your joy, your union with the Father. Apply to me the fullness of your resurrection. I receive it with thanks and give it total claim to my spirit, soul and body, my heart, mind and will. Amen.

In case you haven’t already figured it out, it’s intended for satirical purposes only. I guess it’s okay. It doesn’t have much lasting appeal. I do, however, applaud the manufacturer for making use of wheel technology. There’s not enough of that these days.

Have you been requiring garage door repair? If so, you will want to make sure you ask various inquiries to a possible company just before hiring them. In the following paragraphs, we will discuss a number of the major questions that you will need to ask a possible company before making your hiring decision.
Experience is essential in terms of choosing the right repair company. You need to identify an organization that has a lot of experience in the industry. Finding a company with a significant amount of experience is a wonderful way to increase the chances that you can to get the best repair work completed. A seasoned company is going to offer you a much greater opportunity to get the sort of work that you simply expect.
Another big thing that you would like to inquire about a prospective company is if they may have the correct type of insurance that is required to function on your own property without putting you at unnecessary risk. If they hold the appropriate insurance, you are not going to be accountable for an issue that goes wrong or if perhaps one of their employees gets hurt while on the job.
Another thing that you will would like to ask is what kind of pricing they provide. While you never would like to solely base your hiring decision off of the price which they will probably be charging, you do want to ensure that you are obtaining the most effective price to the service. That can be done a complete comparison together with the other garage door repair companies to ensure that you are obtaining a decent offer.
You will be able to figure plenty of this out yourself. Nowadays, it is possible to complete basic searches that will supply you with a great deal of data that you could base your decisions away from. However, by asking the organization for specific testimonials they may have, you should certainly tell whether or not they have a lot of satisfied clients. Also, should they offer you testimonials and references, it is possible to contact these people to ask any longer questions you might have.
Another big thing that you are likely to desire to ask in order to make the most efficient possible hiring decision could be whether or not they will offer you any specific guarantees that you will be capable of depend on. You want to try to find a company which is confident enough in their service that they are going to provide you some form of service guarantee. This way, it will be possible to get as confident as you possibly can that you may be getting what you will be spending money on. Having a guarantee is a great way to get the peace of mind which you may have to make the perfect hiring decision.
By following many of the tips above and asking the questions discussed, you must be able to place yourself in a fantastic position to determine the ideal garage door repair company you ought to be hiring. You would like to ask the best questions when it comes to finding the right garage door repair company. Stay away from using pricing as being the primary method of navigating the marketplace. You need to consider the value you will get for the investment you will end up shelling out for the service.

Many people do not even think that there are different kinds of cherries. The most common sort of cherry is Somei Yoshino. It has large white magnificent flowers, but there are also varieties with pink flowers.
A tattoo with the image of cherry blossoms is often chosen by women. Such sketches commonly are executed in color, on different parts of the body.
There is one more very important fact, it turns out that such tattoos are suitable only for adult women, while Sakura is no good for young ladies! If they wear such tattoos, their life and youth can be as short as the flowering of this Japanese wood.
Once a proud and fearsome God offered Goddess of the Sun’s grandson Ninigi to marry one of his daughters. The elder called High Rock, she was not beauty, but was reliable and wise. The younger daughter was named Blooming; she was beautiful and fragile, like a delicate flower.
Severe God hoped that Ninigi would choose High Rock. But it was not surprising that the young man chose someone as young as he, the youngest daughter – Blooming. Then fearsome God said that from that moment the life of Ninigi and Blooming’s descendants would be as beautiful as his youngest daughter, but also as fleeting, as the color of the cherry.
All this is due to the very short period of its flowering.
All details of such tattoos in Japan have their own meaning: a number of flowers, their color – from white to deep pink (white color – a sign of death and sorrow, pink – life), how strong is depicted a tree, as in the European culture a sketch is seen as a whole.
Tattoos with the figure of cherry blossom were applied to the back of the Japanese princes and emperors, as the symbols of devotion to their country.
In Buddhism, this tree is a symbol of the transience of life and its inconstancy, often associated with a bygone youth and love.
In China cherry blossoms – feminine power. A branch with flowers may mean the beginning of life. Sometimes, this tree is seen as a symbol of resistance, because its flowers appear much earlier than leaves.
A faded cherry – a symbol of lost hope or love.
If you have pale skin – it will be better to put a tattoo with pink flowers, for darker skin – something white. Pictures could be both large and small, depending on what part of your body you want to put it on.
Sakura and hummingbirds can mean femininity, tenderness.
With the image of a tiger such tattoos will be a sign of power and justice.
It is also important to choose a location on your body, on which will be a blossoming Japanese tree and a suitable style for you.
Black and white cherry – a frequent choice of men, because this figure underlines sensuality and at the same time restraint. Some believe that a tattoo in black and white leaves more room for the imagination.
Girls who do not want to wear huge figures choose minimalism. This style is perfect for those who have a passionate, but secretive nature, like being all private and set apart and only having a very narrow circle of close friends.
A tiny, delicate sprig of cherry on a leg for a girl will be a great solution. Images of a Japanese tree on a woman’s body look great in combination with lettering, butterflies, lotus flower or peonies. Most often tattoos, according to the masters, look the best on feet, back or the side.
If you plan a large figure, as a flowering tree as a whole, fit it on shoulders, hips, thighs, back areas between the shoulder blades or even the whole back. If the size is not large then a branch with several buds can be drawn on your arm, wrist or even behind the ear.
Men commonly choose a combination with wild animals such as tigers or panthers, fantastic dragons, and fish koi. In the latter case, the value of the tattoo symbolizes the quality of character – determination, and this person by his nature is a leader.
Draw the basis of the big branch using waving lines. The top end of the branch smoothly splits into two thinner branches.
Every sakura tree has small side branches. Due to such structure of the tree the distance between flowers is pretty small. That’s why the blooming of sakura is commonly associated with clouds in Japan.
Add some smaller branches to every part of the big branch. All of them should be of different size, shape, and face different directions. The nature is so diverse – there is no two fully similar plants.
As you might notice the first stage of the drawing are made schematically. This way we make a task easier to complete. To get the right image we need just to erase the unnecessary lines. Then we’ll achieve the right form of the branch of sakura.
Move on to the flowers – the centerpiece of this tree. Sakura has big flowers. Just recreate the flower you see on this pic. Attach the first flower to one of the smaller branches.
In order to get a good looking drawing, don’t forget to erase all excessive lines that cross its elements. Just erase everything you don’t need.
In order to make the blooming sakura look naturally, apply a few more details to branches and flowers.
You can paint the drawing if you wish to.
Aubrey Fisher, Adam Levin (the vocalist of the group Maroon 5) are also owners of a blossoming tree.

Whew! It's been quite a month! I left my old job at the end of May, then had a crazy four-day long weekend filled with travel, going to an amusement park with extended family and being asked to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding! Then it was off to out-of-state orientation for two days with the baby and my mom coming down to help. Then, immediately after that, two days at the new job.
It's taken a few weeks to get a sense of our new normal and our new schedule. I'm learning a lot at the new job which is exciting, but I also miss the sense of security the old job gave me where I really was confident in what I was doing!
In the midst of all of that, our baby boy started walking and we both celebrated our birthdays! This past weekend was the first weekend in a long time where I sat and did a whole lot of nothing for most of the time, and it was glorious.
1. This book. My son got this for his birthday from a friend and it is the coolest book ever. Touch and feel books are great, but the stuff you touch can get gross quickly and it might not be easily washable. This one is super cute, durable and easy to wipe down. My kid carries it around the house and loves touching the front cover.
3. This album is what I've been listening to at night and often throughout the day. I want to memorize more scripture. I have no issues learning the words of a worship song. These songs are straight from scripture, not just derivative of it. I've memorized about three small passages in a week thanks to this!
4. This recipe. I've been eating this constantly for a few months. I usually get tired of eating the same thing over and over again, but it hasn't happened yet. If you don't have an Instant Pot, this recipe is enough of a reason for you to get one right now.
5. This lipstick. I don't like normal lipstick. It feels goopy. There's a popular long-lasting lipstick out there that people sell on Facebook that dried out my lips and was clumpy. This is a fraction of the price and works so much better!
6. This is more than just a little light, but I'm still on a high after the date night my husband planned for my birthday! It was the first time someone other than he or I put our son to bed as my parents were in town. It was our first evening date in a year! He bought me a dress and a necklace to wear and we went to dinner on the water and then to an escape room. I feel like I learned more about my husband and it was so fun to collaborate on something other than the usual "whose turn is it to change this poopy diaper?"
The owner said no group of just two people had ever escaped from the room and we made it the furthest she'd ever seen for a pair. The puzzles required a perfect combination of each others' different strengths. Yeah, my eyes are closed in the picture...of course.

YPRES - David Doughty - Australian Stories - Tribute To ANZACs A TRUBUTE TO ALL OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS THROUGHOUT THE AGES.
Historical facts on WWI in the Ypres region The formation of the front near Ypres (Ieper) On 4th August 1914 the invasion of Belgium by the German armies began.
The Belgian field army, the British and French troops retreated on the line Ypres-Ijzer. The German 4th Cavalry Corps, which had entered Ypres, was forced back to the Ieper-Komen canal. Franco-British forces guarded the city to the north and east. The armies were entrenched from the North Sea to Switzerland. The Ypres Salient was formed.
First Battle of Ypres (1914) The Germans launched their great offensive. Several fierce battles were fought at Mesen, Langmark, Geluveld and Nonnenbossen. When the fighting died down on 22nd November, 58,155 British soldiers had been killed or wounded, or were missing. On that day, the shelling of the city began. The Cloth Hall and many other buildings were destroyed or badly damaged.
Second Battle of Ypres (22 April – 25 May 1915) British troops stormed Hill 60 after exploding five mines. In May 1915, the hill had to be abandoned again. On 22 April, gas was used for the first time. 60,260 British soldiers were killed, wounded or missing. The remainder of 1915 and 1916 was passed in trench warfare or local attacks.
Third Battle of Ypres (31 July – 10 November 1917) All five AIF Divisions were engaged in the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele, between July and November 1917. It was really a series of battles, the most significant for the AIF being the victories of Menin Road, Polygon Wood and Broodseinde. Much of the fighting took place in mud so deep that wounded men drowned in it. For the first time, all the AIF divisions fought side by side at Broodseinde. The Australian military reputation for courage and military skill grew even brighter but in eight weeks of fighting, the AIF suffered 38,000 casualties.
Battle of Passchendaele (Passendale), 9-12 October 1917.
For the AIF, the battle of Passchendaele began on 9 October 1917 when the 2nd Division formed the flank for an attack by the British 66 the Division. The 2nd Division's front was about 800 metres long with its left flanked with the Ypres-Roulers railway line. Its ultimate objective was higher ground known as The Keiburg, a spur on the Australian right flank from which the Germans controlled their battle operations. It was a desperate fight and the Australians suffered many casualties. German resistance was particularly fierce at two positions: at Assyria, a large barn turned into a fortress, and at the railway cutting. The 5th Brigade captured the cutting but at great cost. The Australians were forced to withdraw that night. The second phase of the battle began on 12 October with the 3rd Division and the New Zealand Division attacking side by side. The task of capturing Passchendaele was given to the 38th Battalion. According to the plan, the capture would be complete by 12.11am that night. One unit carried an Australian flag to be planted in Passchendaele. After a night of rain and gas-shelling, the attackers went in after inadequate British shellfire. After much confusion, great loss - and great gallantry - the attack came to a halt. However, about 20 Australians, mostly of the 38th Battalion, actually reached Passchendaele church. Completely isolated and unsupported, they were forced to withdraw to their own lines. Meanwhile, the 4th Division which had been in support was also under great pressure and suffered heavily before pulling back. The attack had failed. That night, dead and wounded of the 3rd Division lay in the mud of Ravebeek valley. Others lay huddled in captured pillboxes. Stretcher bearers sent out to rescue these men found other Australians unwounded but stuck fast in the mud. The 34th Battalion's MO, Major G. R.C.Clarke, and members of his staff were killed while dressing the wounded. Corporal W. A. Murray gave up his place in a queue of wounded waiting for bearers and was never heard of again. The 3rd Division suffered 3,199 casualties in the twenty-four hours of the battle.
Battle of Polygon Wood (26-28 September 1917)The battle began at 5.30 am on 26 September 1917, when the British and Dominion guns opened on a 10 kilometre front. The intention was to build on the gains made during the Battle of Menin Road. The AIF 4th and 5th Divisions were responsible for a 2500-metre sector and one of their main objectives was Polygon Wood Butts, the target on the Ypres district rifle range. It was now a small plateau from which the Germans dominated the nearby ground with machine-guns. The 14th Brigade captured the position and then a second objective of several strong points. Gallantry and good leadership held the advance together at critical moments. At one time, men of the 14th Battalion ran into their own bursting shells and were badly shaken until steadied by Captain Albert Jacka, of Gallipoli, Pozières and Bullecourt fame. Private Patrick Bugden of the 31st Battalion led a small party to attack German machine-gun posts. He captured the posts with bombs and bayonet and then, single-handedly, charged some Germans who had captured a corporal. On five occasions during the next few days, he risked his life to rescue wounded men but his luck ran out and he was killed. The 4th Division's battalions captured all their objectives - woods, blockhouses and trenches - and suffered 1,717 casualties. The even more heavily engaged 5th Division suffered 5,471 dead and wounded in the period 26-28 September. Polygon Wood today, though smaller than in 1917, is still large. The remains of three German pillboxes captured by the Australians lie deep among the trees but few trench lines remain. The Butte is still prominent and mounted on top of it is the AIF 5th Division memorial, the usual obelisk. It faces the Butte's military cemetery at the other end of which is a New Zealand memorial to the missing of the sector.
Hill 60 One of the most famous positions on the Western Front, Hill 60, had been formed in the 19th century from the soil taken from a deep railway cutting. It made a mound of 230 metres by 190 metres consisting of layers of clay, sand and quicksand.
The hill's height of 60 metres gave it immense strategic importance in that flat country and both sides continually fought for it. The British tunnelled into the hill in 1915 and 1916 to plant mines which killed many Germans when they exploded. The 1st Australian Tunnelling Company under Major J. Douglas Henry took over the tunnels and mines on 9 November 1916. The Company's primary job was to keep intact two great mines being prepared for a major assault to break the enemy front. The galleries' drainage and ventilation was poor and to improve them the Australians sank a metal-lined shaft 130 metres from a main junction. Then they drove an additional gallery under the German line, about 400 metres away. The shaft was coded Sydney, the drive leading from it Melbourne, while defensive galleries were called Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Newcastle and Hobart.
A letter home from lieutenant Hugh Butterworth of the 9th Battalion, Rifle Brigade. In it, he displays a characteristic joviality and dry wit despite the dangers of his situation. Trenches Sunday, June 20th, 1915. 3.15am What a night! We left camp at 7, marched through Ypres, the most impressive sight I’ve ever seen, the whole place is absolutely gone. Every house is smashed to bits, absolutely a wonderful sight and very awesome. Well – at about 9 or so I picked up a couple of guides (we were marching by platoons), Scotchmen, and they brought us up to these trenches. We got gassed just as we came up. We were entering the most complicated trenches imaginable and we got the gas good and proper. My men were distinctly panicy and I had to mix profanity and jest in even quantities, slight preference given to profanity. Every platoon in the British army seemed to be mixed up. Fortunately we had respirators and good smoke helmets so we got through. It’s rotten, though. After a bit I collected my platoon, (I reached my position the first time with one corporal and one rifleman) and got them told off in their places and then things started. We had continual shell-fire, shrapnel and gas-bombs and some very heavy rifle and machine-gun fire away to the left and right. So far, my platoon is unhurt but we’ve had some close calls. I had a sand-bag whipped off just above my head at about 1.15 this morning. Bullets of course whizz the whole time. The chief objection to this trench is the fact that it is more or less littered with dead, and if you dig you invariably hit some corpse. It’s quiet at least now and I’m penning this. It’s a gruesome business, but perhaps we get used to it. One doesn’t seem to have a dog’s chance when things are moving. Oh! Inter alia I was knocked clean over by a shell coming in this morning but was unhurt – a quaint sensation it was too. Why it didn’t slay me I know not. I will continue anon if I am still cumbering the planet. Au revoir. I must take a turn round the trench and see that all is serene.

Most recruiters ask about preferred work environment to find out how flexible a candidate is. Knowing what response the interviewer will appreciate should be your guide in how to ace this question.
Don’t expect to work in a perfect environment. Keep in mind that there’s no such thing as working in a perfect environment. No matter how organized a company is, always give some room for disorganization. Things happen. Because of this, it’s never good to say you prefer to work in a low-stress work environment.
Don’t make any claims that will cause the interviewer to think twice about hiring you. It’s best to answer the question with a statement, including mention of a fast-pace environment. Perhaps you want to work in an organization that encourages commitment and communication.
Respond with the type of work environment the organization has. Doing this increases your chances of being employed over the rest. However, if you don’t have any idea what their work environment is like, it is best to start talking about how flexible you are when it comes to dealing with stress, pressure and challenges altogether.
Express your enthusiasm in being able to be a part of their company. If the recruiter tells you that everything in their company is really fast-paced or unpredictable, do not hesitate to express how excited you are to be a part of that.
Share some of your working experience. Perhaps you’ve worked in a similar working environment in the past. Feel free to share how you have done well working for them.
It is important not to feel intimidated by the recruiter. Keep in mind that a job interview requires both parties to interact in order to get to know each other. Expect recruiters to explore if you’re a good fit for the job; give yourself a chance to see if the job is of your interest.
Upon reading the guidelines above, take your time to prepare and draft some sample answers on a piece of paper. Read it out loud until you get comfortable. Don’t forget to smile during the interview to lighten things up a bit. As long as you’re confident and your nerves are not getting in the way, believe in yourself — you’ll do just fine.

Empathy is the most important skill you can practice. It will lead to greater success personally and professionally and will allow you to become happier the more you practice. I’ve never considered myself a real programmer. I know at this point it’s probably silly to say, but I started my scholastic and professional life as a musician, and I’ve never quite recovered from the Impostor Syndrome that comes with making such a shift. One of the faux-self-deprecations I use to describe myself is: “I”m a people person who just happens to express this tendency through programming and technology projects”.
The metta bhavana can be a tough nut to crack. Its five stages, outlined in a recent post, are meant to evoke feelings of loving-kindness for different people, first for oneself, then for a friend, then for a neutral person, then for an enemy, and finally for everyone in the earlier stages, with an increasingly expanding circle that eventually includes all sentient beings.
I’ve learned a few ways of going about the meditation from different sources, including teachers, fellow sangha members, books, and even Google searches. The goal is to create a sense of loving-kindness, and how you get there in your own practice seems to be unimportant, so many people have advised me to try different approaches until I find one that works for me. Right now I’m using varying approaches that seem to work better for the different stages.
For Stage 1, where the focus is oneself, I usually visualize myself in a happy and safe setting. I’ve called up images from childhood, probably more iconic than historical, because I doubt I’m the only person who finds it much easier to feel loving-kindness for the child version of myself than for the adult version of myself. But using this kind of visualization opens the door to running away with the storyline, and a metta bhavana meditation can become a stroll down memory lane. Other times I’ll simply imagine myself sitting there on the cushion, from the vantage point of an observer who thinks, “this guy isn’t so bad after all…” That’s not quite metta, but it at least prepares the way.
For Stage 2, visualizing a close friend smiling or laughing usually does the trick, but I sometimes find myself wanting to know what my friend is laughing about. So off I go, following the storyline as I create it. Other times I’ll recite (some version of) the lines that many people use in the metta bhavana: May you be happy. May you be free from suffering. May you be loved… The danger there of course is that it’s easy to simply recite the lines and forget about the metta itself, to just go through the motions without any emotion. But Stage 2 is generally the easiest stage, probably for most people, because you start from a point of naturally feeling metta for a close friend. That’s why one of my teachers sometimes reverses the order of the first two stages, starting with the one that comes prepackaged with a good amount of metta to get the ball rolling.
In Stage 3, I’ve found that what works best for me, so far at least, is to imagine that neutral person doing something mundane that I’ve never actually seen him or her do. Riding the subway, waking up in the morning, smiling at a partner or friend. There’s no storyline for me to fall into, but there is a sense of familiarity. This person does the same sort of things that everyone else does, myself included. So these images come with a sense of camaraderie, with that crucial recognition that we’re all in this together. That makes metta easier to cultivate.
I’ll skip to Stage 5 now, and then come back to Stage 4, and the lifeboat. Stage 5 starts out easily enough for me, with all four of us in a room, and me feeling by that point in the meditation enough metta to go from face to face and look on each of the players with loving-kindness. It’s the spreading-out that’s challenging for me. The expanding sphere image doesn’t work for me for the admittedly ridiculous reason that a sphere will include the layers of the earth before it reaches people on the other side of the globe, and I find myself fixating on images from high school geology textbooks. (I’ve admitted that this is ridiculous.) Spreading out over the surface of the planet is good enough, but I’m a bit of a map geek, so there are geographical distractions. Plus, it’s all so abstract, with a bit too many special effects for my tastes. What I usually do is a kind of shuffle of faces that I’ve encountered through the day, some real, most composites or complete fiction, and I try to look on each one as a real person, with all the same desires and challenges that I have. It’s a bit like walking down a crowded street and making an effort to look on each passer-by with metta, with a recognition of similarity rather than otherness.
Imagine yourself in a very rough sea, with waves crashing around and on top of you. You’re coughing up water and at risk of going under, of drowning, but your Enemy is a few feet away in a lifeboat, and he or she is reaching out to you, trying to pull you out of danger, to save your life.
That really changes the dynamic! Suddenly the Enemy is not all bad, and maybe even quite good. You can imagine the look on his or her face, reaching as far out as possible to grasp your hands, really desperate to save you from drowning. Obviously you feel gratitude, which isn’t quite the same as metta, but which is at least something you can work with as a foundation for evoking feelings of metta.
In case you’re new to meditation and have never heard of the metta bhavana, it’s a very old and basic meditation meant to cultivate feelings of metta, usually translated as loving-kindness. It’s not romantic love, or attached love, or even familial love, but rather the kind of love, compassion, kindness, courtesy, empathy, and all of those other good things that, if universally applied, would make the world a much nicer place.
You can get far better instruction on the metta bhavana than these few words here, but in a very quick nutshell, it’s divided into five stages. In each stage, your focus is a different person (people in the last stage), but the aim is the same. You actively seek to evoke and feel metta for the person (or people) you’re focusing on, maybe by conjuring up an image of the person in a tranquil and safe setting, maybe by saying his/her name, maybe by reciting – with heart! – words like “May you be happy. May you be at peace. May you…” You get the picture.
Stage 5: Everyone from stages 1 through 4, then gradually a wider circle that expands to include all living beings.
When I first learned the metta bhavana, I remember thinking, “I don’t have any real enemies!” And it was probably even true at that time. I had people who annoyed me, just as I annoyed them, I’m sure, but that didn’t seem like much of a challenge. How hard is it to evoke feelings of compassion and kindness for someone who only annoys you?
As it so happens, I would soon enough be supplied with someone who genuinely rises to the level of enemy for me. A person who, on some days at least, I can’t think of without feeling a whole host of bitter and negative emotions. I don’t wish harm on this person, but I certainly have a hard time wringing any sort of compassion and kindness out of the tangle of emotions I do feel. Usually, I simply don’t think of this person, but every so often, when I’m feeling strong, I have my enemy for Stage 4 of the metta bhavana.
This can be tricky. On the one hand, it seems to be precisely the kind of challenge the metta bhavana offers us. If we can bring ourselves to feel compassion and kindness when it’s hard to do so, to say “we’re all human beings in the same boat, so I feel for you and your suffering because it’s mine, too,” we’d all be better people for everyone, ourselves included. On the other hand, most of us aren’t immune to flashes of strong emotion, and a perfectly well-intentioned metta bhavana can wind up creating hatred and ill will, and that’s not something we want to let ourselves steep in.
My solution is usually to simply pick an “easy” enemy. Someone who’s bothering me for some silly reason. But every once in a while I feel that my practice deepens if I come back to the Enemy, and actively look within myself to find and nurture the part of me that recognizes common suffering, that’s able to set aside a very real and bitter history and simply say, “despite it all, we have dukkha in common,” and that’s enough to create even a small spark of compassion and loving-kindness.
It helps that one of my teachers, a Triratna Order Member, had a very simple trick for me to use. I’d gone to him with the concern that my practice was getting clouded by feelings of hatred and ill will, and that I wasn’t able to handle a real enemy in the metta bhavana. He said that I didn’t always have to force myself to confront such a difficult person, that sometimes the “easy enemy” is practice enough. As for the Enemy with a capital E, he said, “put them on the moon!” It took me a moment, but I think I understood what he meant. Make distance, give yourself space. Encourage so wide a perspective that you don’t see the details of betrayal and anger and all the rest, just the outline of a person, far away, who’s trying to get through life the same as you are. Slowly, you can bring them back toward the Earth, and slowly the negative emotions will be replaced by genuine compassion and loving-kindness, with time and practice.
And if you have set-backs, hey, there’s always Pluto.

Model Daphne Joy Pregnant by 50 Cent?
According to TaleTela, Queens emcee 50 Cent is expecting a child with longtime girlfriend, Daphne Joy. The two have kept their relationship under wraps for over a year, but Joy's recent attendance at Floyd Mayweather's fight against Cotto this past weekend raised more than a few eyebrows about the coupling.
A recent Twitter photo shows Floyd's girlfriend Shantel Jackson (left) and Daphne (right) who seems to be rocking a slight baby bump. Igniting even more rumors, the Filipino model stayed clear of alcoholic beverages all evening.
Is 50 Cent about to be a dad again? He currently is the father to a 15-year-old son, Marquise.

Paysafecard is a prepaid payment method that allows users to make payments online without even needing to have a bank account or debit/credit card. This payment method is effectively a voucher system, where Paysafecard codes are purchased from shops and then by entering the code you can make purchases or fund your online live dealer casino account. Because you can use cash to purchase the vouchers, this has proven extremely popular as a funding method for online players, and having been in existence for over ten years (originally as ‘UKash’) this has become widely used across the globe.
Paysafecard is basically ‘online cash’, since you are exchanging actual cash money for the vouchers whose code numbers allow you to access money online. Many people don’t want to get their banks involved with online gambling funding, making Paysafecard a popular solution. Also, the service is quick and simple, with no verification required and no need to worry about data breaches. Just buy your voucher code from a participating local store, and enter it where shown to fund your online gaming account. These days most major betting sites will support Paysafecard in countries where the service is available.
One major disadvantage when it comes to using Paysafecard to fund your live dealer casino account is that you cannot process withdrawals back to your account. That means that if you are depositing with the Paysafecard system, you will usually be required to withdraw to your bank account. With bank transfers being the slowest withdrawal method, this means you will experience delays of at least a few days to receive your money, and also some banks won’t accept funds from a gambling site. Another issue is that unfortunately Paysafecard can only be purchased in Europe, Oceania, some countries in the Middle East, North Amreica and a few countries in South/Central Americas. This means that residents of countries in Africa, Asia and most of South America will not be able to use this system.
If you are looking for a straightforward, no-frills funding method for your live dealer casino account then Paysafecard is just right for you. The voucher system uses more or less the same system we are familiar with when it comes to topping up smartphones, and transactions are completed in seconds. Of course there are the drawbacks mentioned above, but if you are living in a country where you can purchase the cards and are more interested in fast and unfussy deposits than quick payouts, then Paysafecard can work for you.

I’d like to share an article written by Lillian Brooks of LearningDisabilities.info. She shares loads of interesting and helpful ideas to support children with learning difficulties. I hope you enjoy it!
The same neurological differences that create learning disabilities such as dyslexia and autism may also be the source of creative thinking and artistic ability, because people with learning disabilities visualize differently than the rest of us. Psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz says certain diagnoses correlate with particular strengths, and she suggests that part of addressing a child’s learning disability should involve focusing on those strengths and nurturing their abilities. One way to do that is to provide children with outlets for creative expression.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder makes traditional classroom learning a challenge, but research indicates that students with impulse control issues not only come up with creative ideas, but they are also more likely to implement them. Their very inability to “pay attention” might increase the flow of unusual ideas that lead to innovation. Children with dyslexia tend to score highly on tests of visual-spatial aptitude and pattern recognition, helping them to see things other people might miss. Autistic people are frequently capable of prolonged, very intense focus on minute detail; their perseverating interests can help them to thrive in the right environment. It’s a matter of focusing on strengths while still addressing deficits.
Music education is an effective therapeutic approach for most learning disabled students. Studies show it can help reduce self-injurious and aggressive behaviors and improve communication skills. It can also improve concentration and general cognitive functioning and works naturally to improve coordination and movement. Because listening to music and playing a musical instrument involves multiple areas of the brain, it offers alternative pathways to learning when a student is challenged by traditional approaches.
Children love stories, so get them involved in the process of creating and performing them, and take them to watch professionals engaged in storytelling. Performing in plays is an effective pedagogical tool for fostering a love of drama, but it can also encourage the development of empathy and help students formulate theory of mind. Attending a live performance helps to involve all the body’s senses, and incorporates a level of audience involvement that is never present when consuming entertainment passively in a home setting.
Make sure your children have regular trips to art museums and musical and dramatic performances. Take time out of the educational rat race for family field trips to nature preserves and parklands, helping them to find the beauty in their world. Even very young children benefit from such exposure, as it encourages curiosity and intellectual development. Art feeds on inspiration, so feed your child’s sense of wonder and provide them with fodder for their own creative visions.
Children who struggle with a learning disability may be challenged by the traditional classroom learning environment. They may suffer a loss of self-confidence and feelings of embarrassment or shame because of their educational deficits. Arts instruction provides alternative teaching methods and outlets for creative success that can promote a greater sense of self-worth and new venues for personal accomplishment.

Are you following these 3 clothing rules for public speakers?
If you’ve ever worried about being over- or under-dressed for a presentation, this guide will ensure you always look your best.
During the decade I’ve been blogging, I’ve written several articles about what speakers should wear. It’s time for an update, because there’s some new research on the science of apparel.
New research shows that formal business attire—suits for men and the equivalent for women—increases your ability to think big, abstract and creative ideas.
All of those are good for speakers, so suit up.
Be consistent, of course, with several other important aspects of dress: Dress better than the audience (but not too much better), and ensure your clothes are relevant to your talk.
For example, if you’re at an entrepreneurs’ conference in Silicon Valley and everyone is dressed in T-shirts and jeans, you might wear a sports coat. A suit would probably be overkill. Bankers, on the other hand, will expect you to wear a suit and a tie.
We negotiate better in suits than in casual clothing. If you’re undertaking significant audience interaction, keep in mind that dressing up empowers you in several ways.
If you’re speaking about creativity, however, a suit could indicate that you’re not a creative type. In that case, balance formal attire with the iconic statement you’re trying to make. Think of Steve Jobs’ black turtleneck and jeans. He was signaling that he was different from the typical corporate executive, and it worked well for him.
Another study (which researchers fondly call the “red sneaker effect”) found that if you subtly vary your clothing from the norm—wear a red bowtie with your suit, or red sneakers with your academic attire—then people will perceive you as more powerful and competent.
This probably happens because the audience assumes that if you’re able to break the rules a little, you have confidence and authority. If you break the rules too much, however, they’ll see you as either clueless, crazy or incompetent.
Choosing what to wear is complicated, because attire is a primary way we signal our attitudes, social status, relationships with those around us and a host of other things. Clothing is a sign of status, profession and attitude.
1. Always dress a little better than the audience.
2. Dress in a way that signals you’re at the top of your profession or industry.
3. Dress in a way that subtly shows you can break the rules with impunity.
The trick is not to take any of these rules too far. Wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable, allows you to move easily and makes you feel like a million bucks.
My advice to clients is to always go to top-end clothiers and splurge on an outfit that makes you look fabulous. Bask in the sartorial splendor when all eyes are on you.
This post first ran on Ragan in 2016. A version of this article originally appeared on Public Words.

The misconception for many of us is that rice is not good for us and rice will make us fat!
Studies from many institutes have shown that women (test subjects) who favour whole grain rice over other refined grains gain fewer pounds as they age.
As with any food too much and you will store it on the body. So the obvious “sensible eating” applies. But there are scientific tested reasons whole grain rice is good for you and should be part of your diet.
You would think rice too heavy to be a diet food. But in the long term, those who eat lots of whole grain rice weigh less than those who avoid it.
A reason wholegrain rice is good for you is because it is a complex carbohydrate.
Simple carbs are sugars and are often softer in texture – white bread, white rice and baked goods. Soda, candy and other sweeteners like table sugar and honey are also simple carbs.The body processes simple carbs rapidly and blood sugar spikes as a consequence. Insulin is the regulatory hormone that handles fluctuations in blood sugar, but only up to a point. Excess carbs are stored as fat and a diet rich in simple carbs can lead to unwanted weight gain.
Complex carbs pack in more nutrients than simple carbs, because they are higher in fiber and digest more slowly. This also makes them more filling, which means they’re a good option for weight control. Complex carbs are foods, which contain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants like oatmeal and brown rice. Complex slow burn carbs are broken down in a slower fashion and deliver a more evenly paced amount of glucose (sugar) to the blood stream. These slow carbs provide a more steady state of energy and help to avoid the "crash and burn" that is common from simple carb diets.
Carbohydrates are one of your body’s primary sources of energy and Complex carbohydrates are key to long-term health. They make it easier to maintain your weight, and can even help guard against type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular problems in the future.
Rice Coffee made from whole grain rice, ground and roasted to perfection, an instant coffee drink that will help you control your weight issues and help keep your body healthy for your future.

It might be November, but it’s snowing and the temperature was zero degrees when I woke up this morning which means I’m not totally out of my mind for thinking about Christmas decor already. And while I don’t typically decorate my house for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, I was feeling inspired to do some felt pillow shams when I was working on this Advent Calendar the other day.
There’s something cozy and fabulous about a good-quality felt. And it’s fun for appliqué because it’s sturdy and doesn’t fray, meaning your projects don’t take as much finish work. And I’m a huge fan of creating shams for my pillows because they’re easy to stash away until next year without all the bulk.
So today I’m going to walk you through how I made my Love and Joy pillow shams so that you can make your own! I will be referencing two different tutorials (one for appliqué and one for the pillow sham construction) so make sure you check them out for more details.
Cut your front and back pillow pieces using the pillow sham construction tutorial for dimensions. Prepare the back pieces as instructed in that tutorial.
Print your chosen designs on a piece of paper, and cut them out.
Create your appliqué pieces using this appliqué tutorial.
Sew your designs to the front of your pillow sham. I used clear thread so I didn’t need to change thread color.
Embroider any details you want using your embroidery thread and needle.
Finish your felt pillow sham following the rest of the pillow sham tutorial.
And now your regular pillows are ready for a little Christmas cheer! Would you make felt pillow shams?

Mayor Bloomberg has no problem covering up for the behavior of his Deputy Mayor. Why make things public? You don't want to complicate things or embarrass anyone.
Of course that doesn't apply to teachers. Perhaps he doesn't see us as people. Who knows? In fact, as occasional commenter Paul Rubin pointed out, when teachers are arrested, they're required to instantly report their transgressions to both their principals and the DOE. It's hardly a private matter.
So what's the point? It's crystal clear that Bloomberg has one standard for city employees, particularly those who are highly-placed, and another for teachers. Why else would he have granted a pattern raise to absolutely everyone but teachers? And how could he get away with it?
Well, in the US today, the moneyed classes gamble, lose, have us pay for it, and then need a scapegoat. Make no mistake, we are that scapegoat. A demagogue like Bloomberg has no problem exploiting this, and does a fine job of it. The man gets away with murder on a daily basis.
Let's hope his third term gives the public even more evidence of his monumental arrogance. If we can see through him, we can see through all of his ilk.

I totally agree with Matt, the quality of posts is by far the most important factor to having a good blog for both readers and search engines a like.
I always tell clients that they should try and write a quality blog post once a week. Now when I mean quality, I don’t mean that it has to be long. It just has to be well written and informative.
The reason is that I want people to come to my clients sites not only because Google put the site high in the results but because they find what my clients write interesting. If people don’t like what is being written and never come back they’ll never convert into customers.
So as much as I hate to say it, I agree with Matt about creating quality content is some of the best SEO out there.
In any online business, you will be always need do some SEO work to improve the appearance of the site in search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

I had to update some of my Juice Beauty products and along the way I decided to try a few new things just to experiment.
I have used Juice Beauty on and off for years but I returned a couple of years ago and decided to maintain this brand as my go-to for skin care necessities.
Juice Beauty is great because the products are organic and they do wonders for my skin without harsh ingredients doing who knows what to my face and organs. Plus I get more compliments, and for someone who grew up with oily acne prone skin with scars, that means a lot!
The new stuff I am trying for the first time includes Stem Cellular Cleansing Oil. I use this anti-aging product at night to remove make up. It was made to clean, soften and purify while dissolving makeup. Perfect.
The other new product is the Green Apple Peel Nightly Brightening Pads. These anti-aging pads are applied at night and I have noticed a certain glow to skin. In addition, my make up goes on easier.
The last new nightly product I use is Nutrient Moisturizer. This is thick, moist and perfect for the dry, cool, fall nights in Albuquerque.
Hydration is key as we get older and I make sure to apply suitable items to my skin as I rest through the night and heal.

A reputation for quality is essential for the ongoing viability of international education and research in Australia. The ESOS Framework is a principle facet of Australia’s quality reputation and it is essential that it be upheld.
The ESOS Framework is a strong and comprehensive set of legislative instruments that assist in determining items such as the portion of unspent pre-paid fees in the event of a provider default or if a student is unable to obtain a visa; the notice a provider must give in the event of a provider or student default; and the criteria to be applied in considering if a course is a 'suitable alternative course'.
The Tuition Protection Service was introduced in 2012 as a mechanism to further strengthen the protections offered to students through the ESOS Act.
Information provided to the Government under the ESOS ACT is managed through a central system, the Provider Registration and International Students Management System (PRISMS).
In 2009, the Government undertook to the review the ESOS Act and Universities Australia made numerous recommendations to that review including the establishment of a national register of accredited/recognised agents; continued restriction on transfers at six months; revision of Part B of the National Code; review of the financial requirement on student visas.
The Baird Review led to a number of significant changes in the international education sector in Australia. In 2012 the Tuition Protection Service was established, the registration process for international education providers has been strengthened and international students now have access to post study work visas for up to four years.
