We arrive in this world with a soft soul, a trusting heart and a mind that wants us to be confident and free.
Somewhere along the way we change. We become more worried about what other’s opinions of us are, and that softness might be interpreted as vulnerability. We find ourselves to be a certain way or act accordingly because someone said so.
Yes, guidance is imperative in the younger years, because we need to understand appropriateness, but don’t we also need to know ourselves.
There comes a time when you have to decide whether being true to yourself is more important than following the crowd. It is easy to let a hardened heart dictate your direction, so you think you feel stronger, and less vulnerable. But vulnerability and weakness come because you are trying to fit in. So doesn’t it make sense that a softer heart brings grace and courage in a world that is hardened by opinion.
Pay attention. Isn’t it nice when someone notices you because they are intrigued by you? Isn’t it nice to be able to speak from your heart? Isn’t it nice to know those quiet souls who walk gracefully through life, waiting for the chance to walk into yours?
The day you believe soft is strong, is the day you meet wisdom.
The butterfly looks truly amazing. Perfectly fits your post of ‘soft is strong’. Beautiful message conveyed.
Thank you. Glad you “got it”. Thanks for taking the minute to read.
This post is brimming with wisdom Donna, pure perfection!
You always humble me. Thank you.
It is totally my pleasure! Your posts are uplifting!

Manchester City kept the pressure on their title rivals after claiming a hard-fought 2-0 win over Brighton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
City took a while to get going but never looked in serious trouble after Raheem Sterling gave them the lead just before the half-hour mark.
The Seagulls worked hard to limit them until Sergio Aguero sealed the win in the 65th minute, which took Pep Guardiola’s side top of the table ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea in the late kick-off.
Brighton made a bright start at the home of the champions as they gave Manchester City very little space in the middle by holding their defensive shape.
Ederson was called into action after just two minutes when Shane Duffy got on the end of Anthony Knockaert’s cross from the right, but his looping header was comfortable for the Brazilian keeper.
Knockaert had a better chance three minutes later after being picked out in space by Gaetan Bong on the cutback, although his shot from 14 yards out was deflected high and wide of the left post.
The Citizens finally found an opening in the 23rd minute when Sterling was played in behind the defence on the right and delivered a fine cross to Aguero, who scuffed an acrobatic volley from eight yards out.
Leroy Sane threatened three minutes later as he drilled a right-footed shot straight at Matty Ryan from 20 yards out following good combination play with Oleksandr Zinchenko on the left.
City cut the visitors apart with a swift breakaway on 29 minutes to open the scoring. Bernardo Silva pounced on a loose pass to send Aguero away and he slipped in Sane, whose low cross from the left was converted by Sterling at the back post.
Bernardo Silva failed to test Ryan with a low strike from 20 yards out on the right that he dragged wide of the near post on 33 minutes, as the hosts began to find increasing pockets of space in the final third, with Ryan forced to deny Sterling from 10 yards out six minutes later after a mistake from Lewis Dunk let the winger in on the right.
Ryan was alert to the danger as he pushed away a venomous long-range effort from Fernandinho on 44 minutes, while at the other end Knockaert made good contact with Solly March’s cross in added time, but saw his shot crucially blocked.
Chris Hughton’s troops managed to survive the growing pressure to go into half-time just one goal down, and they were soon under the cosh again when Kyle Walker flashed a low shot wide of the left post from 22 yards out after the defence failed to close him down in the 48th minute.
Zinchenko was also allowed space to shoot seven minutes later and he at least tested Ryan with a low strike from 22 yards out on the left, before Sane directed a downward header into the ground and over from Bernardo Silva’s pin-point cross to the back post on 57 minutes.
Albion were looking increasingly desperate at the back with Ryan having to parry David Silva’s shot from 14 yards out after a goalmouth scramble on 58 minutes, but the second goal wasn’t long in coming.
Aguero started and finished the move as the striker carved his way through the defence and played a one-two with Sterling before slotting past Ryan from eight yards out.
The Citizens survived late appeals for a penalty when a corner struck the outstretched arm of Fernandinho, but the referee deemed it unintentional as Ederson claimed a third clean sheet in succession.

text: First, make sure your hands are clean and dry. Not only will this limit the possibility of infection, but dry hands will make it easier to grasp the tooth. Using your fingers or a clean gauze pad, gently pull the tooth out. If the gum area where the tooth was pulled bleeds, don't be alarmed: this is normal. Simply ask your child to lean forward so he or she does not swallow the blood. Using a clean gauze pad, apply gentle pressure until the bleeding stops. If the bleeding does not stop after fifteen minutes, it's a good idea to give the dentist or a medical professional a call.

Posted on July 31, 2015 by Richard Masoner.
An online acquaintance was mugged while riding his bike home from work the other evening, prompting a discussion on personal safety while bicycling.
Curtis Corlew, a 61 year old college professor in Antioch, CA, was just riding along when a pair of young thugs with a gun (a GUN!) rolled him hard and stole his iPhone. They hit him hard enough that he says he’s worried about his physical recovery when class begins in two weeks at his college. He’s a lifelong bike commuter, but he’s weighing his options.
People worry about public safety and it’s one of those things that discourage people from commuting by bike. Although rare, strong-arm robberies like this do happen on Bay Area trails, and I think an essential component of encouraging cycling is ensuring a safe riding environment.
“Personal safety concerns” is listed among the reasons I began San Jose Bike Train. The San Jose Bike Pool route from Almaden to downtown San Jose has also empowered a mostly female group of commuters to ride to and from work through what many consider some very sketchy bike paths, namely the Highway 87 path, and the Guadalupe River Trail south of downtown.
Some of the discussion has turned to self-defense techniques when you’re attacked while astride a bike.
Curtis was blindsided, and I’ve heard of similar attacks in which the assailant uses a baseball bat or a pipe to knock the cyclist to the ground. I don’t know how much your awesome Rex kwan doe skills can help in that kind of surprise attack.
All I can recommend is situational awareness. When somebody approaches and asks for a cigarette, a light or for the time, he’s probing your vulnerabilities. If you see a group scope you out and cross the street to deliberately intercept your path, it’s already past time to wake up and pay attention. Predators look for easy targets, and if you’re aware of your surroundings you’re possibly aware enough to hit back a little or to avoid the attack altogether.
I used to commute across what many consider the seedy side of Menlo Park and through East Palo Alto. I wasn’t fearful or worried when rolling through these areas, but I’m watchful and aware. There was one instance over five years of this where a trio tried to intercept me near the Ringwood Avenue bike bridge, but I saw it coming, evaded easily, and rolled past.
Antioch has a problem with growing crime. The city of Santa Cruz, where I often ride, also has one of the highest rates of violent crime in California, making it more dangerous than Oakland. Most of Santa Clara County, by contrast, is very safe, with comparatively few assaults reported on our regional bike paths.
What’s your experience with violent crime where you ride?
Heads up: San Jose Bike Trail rolls next Wednesday, August 5!
Although I don’t know how to make this happen, one solution is more bike commuters. I was alone (Yep, I’m the commuter in the story) on the path for as far as I could see in either direction. That’s not an unusual situation in my many years of bike commuting. The attackers were clearly didn’t want to spend much time with me and ran off quickly. If only there were 1000s of bike commuters I don’t think this would have happened. But that’s just a pain killer induced dream I fear.
I used to live in a not-so-nice area and late at night I was always afraid that drunks or anyone else for that matter may try jump me. I started to carry a camera flashgun with me as its harmless but the sudden flash certainly dazes people when it’s dark outside. I never had to use it thankfully but its a simple, safe and effective way to protect yourself – at night when it’s dark at least. It saves a court case for actually harming someone.
@Andrew – good tip. I once heard from a guy who said his helmet-mounted headlight dazzled his assailants enough to enable his escape.
When I used to live in LA, I heard that over of the popular bike trails was the San Gabriel River trail. There were some isolated areas, and an easy target for someone to spread table on there ground, then mug someone. Not sure what can be done in this situation. Just scary all around for all of us commuters.

Yesterday was Tommy’s birthday. We took him out to this buffet sushi place. It wasn’t half bad. Not the greatest. I always feel the moment you start talking buffet’s that your quality of food gets diminished to raise the quantity. Unless you perhaps go to high-end casino’s and pay the premium prices for it. This was $30 a person, so it wasn’t entirely high end. You get what you pay for. Which ended up being a real waste of money on me as I don’t eat enough to make it worthwhile. All and all it was a good birthday for Tommy. Though I must add that I think his friends could learn some of the social norms. That’s a blog post for another day.
This weekend is the annual Star Wars celebration. Tons of fans attend these conventions where Disney puts on a great show where they bring together all the Star Wars talent. In past years, this is where we’ve gotten the early trailers for Star Wars. Yesterday was no different.
People are convinced that this is about Rey’s lineage. But, I view it differently. Kylo is technically a Skywalker thru his bloodline. It might very well be the rise of him. We’ll see. It’s still very early but I’m confident they’re heading in a good direction. Video below of the entire panel. Nice of Stephen Colbert to moderate it.
I was at our local bar, and I had an interesting political discussion with one of the few guys that actually can handle having a political debate decently. I told him, “Nobody researches anything anymore.” He responded to me, “Yep, we all trust these stupid memes and trust every news outlet that gives us anything.” From a twenty-five-year-old conservative to say that he recognizes the problem out there – that really means something.

GDPR is set to hit on May 25th, which, depending on which source you read, is either the end of the marketing world, or a great way to increase conversion numbers on your email campaigns. Time will tell which is right, so, for now, this blog is concerned with understanding and adjusting the tactics for account based marketing (ABM) as they relate to the GDPR.
For our company’s GDPR readiness, Treasure Data’s own ABM initiative was put to task by our very own product – the Treasure Data enterprise customer data platform (CDP). Using our own solution for GDPR has been exciting for both sales, marketing and product teams. Being that we have less than 250 employees, we aren’t subject to the GDPR yet so we didn’t HAVE to do this, but it was great seeing how our CDP works in the areas of database segmentation, opt in / opt out management, inbound leads, cold emailing and more.
Or, download the entire white paper here.
In our Marketers Guide to the GDPR, we cover different forms of digital advertising but this blog will focus on corporate IP targeting since that’s a popular topic in ABM.
In the case of targeting an IP address (or device ID) of an individual user, you need to refer to how you handle cookies: an opt in pop up, with a link to terms and conditions outlining what the data will be used for, and linked to a page at which contacts can opt out or ask that you delete their information entirely.
IP targeting on a corporate office is still OK, but there seem to be some nuances. The current interpretation seems to be this: If you’re simply targeting the IP address (or a range of them) for a corporate office, you’re OK. Since this is a common tactic, this should come as a relief for many marketers.
If, however, you are using both IP targeting for a corporate office and using filters like “job title,” then it becomes a bit of a gray area. The rules on this are not 100% clear, but GDPR is built to protect personal information. It could be argued that a combination of IP address and professional titles can be traced back to an individual, so you might be in trouble. Our opinion is that you should take a “wait and see” stance for now and revisit this tactic once its application becomes clearer over time.
By most accounts DMP service providers will need major changes to their operating procedures because of GDPR. From our interpretation, they carry a lot of additional risk because they frequently serve as a data processor for your data vs. a data controller. Let’s look at a few common scenarios for DMP service providers and how this might play out with GDPR.
If you provide contacts to your DMP partner for programmatic advertising and you remain the data controller, the GDPR compliance burden is on you, not the DMP. So, if you’re going to do this, you need to make sure that you 1) outline the use of this data in your terms and conditions 2) provide only “opted in” contacts to the DMP and 3) have a mechanism for processing opt out requests that come from the contact through the DMP.
In addition to that, DMP service providers often also work with demand-side platforms (DSPs) and trade desks to source and fill ad inventory. Again, each one of these handoffs extends the data processor network and introduces a potential point of failure for which you, as the data controller, will be responsible.
If you’re going to go down this route, you should ask for an outline of the DMP’s data network, including where the data is stored for each part in the chain, what kind of encryption is used, and how opt outs will be passed back to you.
There are a lot of moving parts to this type of advertising and a lot of potential risk, so we at Treasure Data are taking a “wait and see” approach.
This seems like the safest way to engage with a DMP service provider for the short term as you’re not passing any personally identifiable information to the DMP and therefore forcing the DMP to take on a role of a data controller. The flip side to this is that the data received back from the DMP will be high-level and general, which will prevent you from further targeting any individual contained within the DMP audience segment.
Of course, a DMP could provide more detailed information to you from contacts that went through an “opt in” process so that you could do more accurate targeting. This assumes, however, that the data from the DMP is clean and that’s a big risk as you’re going to be the one targeted by a fine if you retarget someone who did not opt in. Given that, it seems like this is another area where you’ll want to wait and see what happens.
GDPR mandates that any data breach of personally identifiable information (PII) must be communicated to anyone who might have been affected within 72 hours. When dealing with a DMP partner and its larger network of partners and data processors, you need to make 100% sure that the DMP is as secure, if not more, than you are, and that the DMP has processes in place to communicate a data breach in time for you to meet the 72-hour deadline.
Remember, you’re the data controller in this scenario, so you carry all the risk.
The GDPR will require dramatic changes across cold emails, programmatic and targeted advertising, as well as how opt in / opt out processes are managed. However, cold calling, direct mail and lookalike advertising should remain “business as usual” for now.
Create a landing page on which contacts can see what data you’ve collected, and which automates opt in, opt out and “forget me” requests from a central location. If you need help on this one, you should talk with Treasure Data.
As with all things GDPR, caution and due diligence is advisable. Certain rules around GDPR are subject to interpretation, and will likely evolve over time. It’s best to consult with your own legal team and security professionals for specific direction and guidance on how GDPR may affect your organization.

Clogged and slow running drains are most definitely a nuisance and can cause serious damage to pipes, fixtures or appliances if left too long. Grease, hair, food, soap waste and other materials can easily accumulate in pipes and drains. If detected and addressed early, removing these common clogs can be an easy fix for even the most inexperienced do-it-yourselfer. And regular cleaning and maintenance of your drain systems is a simple, effective way to prevent costly problems and repair work down the road.
The most popular tool for removing blockages is a common plunger, which you can purchase at just about any home improvement, hardware or discount store for less than $10. Put the plunger over the drain and press down firmly. Pull straight up with gentle force. Repeat the pushing and pulling a couple of times. Adding a little water to the sink, toilet or tub can help to create suction around the drain, making the plunger work more effectively.
Chemical drain solutions are widely available at hardware and grocery stores. These affordable cleaners are easy to use—just pour, wait and flush—and are great for removing small clogs or stubborn build-up. Always read the product label carefully, though, as some of these chemicals can be corrosive to plastic plumbing or are not recommended for use in kitchen sinks.
If you’ve tried a plunger and a chemical drain opener with little success, it may be time to use a pipe cleaner or snake. These specialty devices are easy to find or rent from home improvement or plumbing supply retailers and are perfect for getting rid of clogs close to the drain. The tool is inserted into the drain and maneuvered until the clog is pushed away and out.
Combine a pound of powder detergent with three gallons of boiling water.Hold the container close to the drain and pour slowly to prevent scalding. Flush the drain by running water from the tap a few minutes afterward.
Baking soda and vinegar is also an effective drain opener. Pour ½ cup of regular household baking soda into the drain, then add ½ cup white vinegar; cover the drain if you can. Let the mixture stand in the drain for several minutes before adding boiling water, at least five or six cups. Never try this method immediately after using a commercial drain opener, as the baking soda and vinegar can cause a harmful reaction when they come in contact with the chemicals.
You can also use salt and baking soda to dissolve a grease clog. Pour ½ cup coarse salt and ½ cup baking soda into the drain, followed by about six cups of boiling hot water. Let the mixture sit for at least eight hours and then flush with water from the tap.
While many clogged and slow-running drains can be resolved without the help of a plumbing professional, you’ve got to know when to throw in the towel. More serious clogs can force water to back up into your home, causing costly damage to pipes and plumbing fixtures. If you’ve tried any or all of these methods and you still can’t clear the clog, stop what you’re doing consult a professional plumbing and drain cleaning company such as Horizon Services. Further plunging, poking around and chemicals will most likely exacerabate the problem.

The structural stability, electronic structure, and thermal transport properties of one to six quintuple layers (QLs) of Bi2Se3 are investigated by van der Waals density functional theory and semi-classical Boltzmann theory. The bandgap amounts to 0.41 eV for a single QL and reduces to 0.23 eV when the number of QLs increases to six. A single QL has a significantly higher thermoelectric figure of merit (0.27) than the bulk material (0.10), which can be further enhanced to 0.30 by introducing 2.5% compressive strain. Positive phonon frequencies under strain indicate that the structural stability is maintained.

"Having worked abroad and in New York City in the art world since the 1970's, I came across my first vintage stone lithograph poster in 1977. I was hooked! I started collecting these wonderful colorful and vibrant images and surrounded my home with them. As an art student in Florence Italy, I studied stone lithography and here I was acquiring as many vintage posters as I could.....ultimately becoming a dealer.
Today I am proud to be one of the international accredited vintage poster dealers in the world. I have a studio and run two websites as well as do poster shows....my studio is open by private appointment, which gives me the time to travel and search for just the right image for my customers and help them with their framing and installations in their homes and work place.
Vintage posters were originally created from the 1890's - 1970's as colorful and dramatic lithographic designs to promote products and events. The styles range form turn of the century to art deco and nouveau to the atomic age of the 1950's. Once printed, they were mounted on the walls of the cities of Europe and America and soon became a collectible item. Poster artists combined remarkable color and designs of images to reshape advertising into the decorative art form that we see and collect today. These brilliant images that have survived are passionately sought after for their historic and artistic value.
There are a wide variety of themes in posters....food, travel, transportation, wine and spirits, entertainment, products, fashion, children, sports, etc. I encourage my customers to ask us for specific areas of interest. There are a range of clients who collect anything from fountain pens, airlines, circus, golf, motorcycles, bicycles, tires, hats, shoes, travel destinations, ski., etc...an assortment of subjects have been produced in posters. The goal of the poster artist was to display an image and capture the viewer's attention, to communicate a message and sell the product.
These imaginative images do just that and as a dealer, I am most fortunate to find some of these at graphic studios and auctions all across the world and to offer them to my clients for their collections."

Melbourne welcome new additions to their senior squad.
The green&gold have secured two excellent new additions for the senior squad, with the signing of front rower James Squires (formerly of Hinckley RFC ) and versatile back Oli Saffell (formerly of Derby RFC).
We look forward to the added competition for places in what is a very strong senior squad. Both players are looking forward to making their mark and bringing their experience and qualities to the fore having both played in the National Leagues.
It comes at a time when the senior squad needs a boost having performed well in the first half of the season. Extra competition means no one can be complacent, especially true with the welcome news that Chris "Beefy" Rudkin and Joe Stuart are also both now fit having recovered from injury.
 PREVIEW ROUND 15 M2EN Pete has messed his numbers up - again - yes that's correct it is actually Round 15!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in California with 8 years of experience. I have worked with clients who have a broad range of issues and mental health diagnoses including depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, post traumatic stress disorder and related issues, grief and loss/bereavement, family and relationship issues, and addictions. I have also worked with all ages. I consider myself to be a client-centric counselor, which essentially means that our work together will be a collaborative partnership where you are in the driver’s seat - I want to get to know you and what works or helps YOU the best. I also want to know what area/s you’d prefer to focus on and what your goals for therapy are so that I can be of utmost assistance and support to you.
In terms of treatment modalities, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have had specialized trauma training. I also utilize elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and meditation and other relaxation skills training with my clients. I tend to use an eclectic approach in which, again, I work to find what will be most useful and helpful for each individual client.

When the head of San Francisco's largest HMO dies in his own hospital, no one doubts that it is anything but the result of massive injuries inflicted by a random hit-and-run accident. But the autopsy soon tells a different story - an overdose of potassium killed him, and the attending physician, Eric Kensing, becomes the prime suspect in a high-profile homicide.
I like a book with a few good suspects like this one, and I especially enjoyed that it strayed from the Hardy formula, in that the client did not go to trial.
I struggled right from the start of this book at how a smart, law abiding main character can fall in love with a thief, and although I enjoyed the mystery, the attraction of Miranda to her thief was too unbelievable to really get me in.
I like the main character of this book , she was damaged but Nora Roberts took you on her journey to good health mixed in with a murder mystery and a good strong no nonsence love interest.
Valerie Wyatt is the queen of gracious living and the arbiter of taste with a successful TV show. Since her long-ago divorce, she’s worked hard to reach the pinnacle of her profession and to create a camera-ready life in her Fifth Avenue penthouse. So why is she so depressed? All the hours with her personal trainer, the careful work of New York’s best hairdressers, cosmetic surgeons, and her own God-given bone structure and great looks can’t fudge the truth or her lies about it: Valerie is turning sixty.
Just a pleasant way to pass time whilst exercising, but nothing particularly memorable about this book, if fact I realised when it got to the siege at the television station that I had already read the book.
The crash of a Dallas-bound jet wasn't just a tragedy to TV reporter Avery Daniels; it was an act of fate that handed her a golden opportunity to further her career. Mistaken for a glamorous, selfish woman named Carole Rutledge, the badly injured Avery would find that plastic surgery had given her Carole's face, a famous senatorial candidate for a husband, and a powerful Texas dynasty for in-laws.
I loved the beginning of this story where the main character is forced to endure a surgery to look like someone else. I found it a little difficult to get over the premise that she remained in that character or that she falls in love with someone who holds her with such contempt, but the twist in the 'who dunnit' kept me listening.
The call comes at midnight. It looks like a tragic and petty murder - a rising star in San Francisco's legal firmament found shot in a dark alley. But for homicide lieutenant Abe Glitsky, the crime cuts horribly close to home - unknown to anyone, the victim was his daughter. Seething, Glitsky leans hard on his only suspect - a homeless heroin addict found lingering over his daughter's body, with her jewelry in his pocket and a smoking gun in his hand.
I enjoyed the story of this case and the conflict that the tough hard headed Abe has to resolve in order to get to the truth of his daughter's murder. There were a few glitches in the narration where lines were repeated which made me think I was going a little mad the first time.
I love a book where the main character has great respect for the women in his life and the affection Eli had for his grandmother, Hesta was well written, as was the gradual integration of Eli into Whiskey Beach and with the love of Abra Walsh helping him to taking control of his life again. It was a nice journey to be part of.
When San Francisco attorney Dismas Hardy gets a call saying his wife never picked the kids up from school, he's worried. Frannie's a great mother. Turns out there's a good explanation: She's in jail. Unbeknownst to her husband, Frannie has just appeared before a grand jury - and refused to share a crucial piece of information about her friend Ron, who's accused of killing his wife.
This was my first John Lescroat book and I am now a fan. It was a good story with lots of characters and a main character that was dragged into a murder investigation all the while not being sure if his wife Frannie had been unfaithful.
Little else in life is as dangerous as fire jumping. Flying past towering pillars of smoke, parachuting down to the edge of an all-consuming blaze, shoveling and sawing for hours upon hours, days at a time, all to hold the line and push back against the raw power of Mother Nature. But there’s also little else as thrilling - at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are one of the most exclusive firefighting squads in the nation, and the job is in Rowan’s blood: her father is a legend in the field. She’s been fighting fires since her eighteenth birthday.
I think the reason I enjoy listening to Nora Roberts is that whilst the romance is a key theme in the book her female characters are so strong in their own right and Rowan Trip was no different.
Loved the fact that the setting for this book was such a contrast to the scene of the murder and where the end finally played out. As usual Nora Roberts leads you in one direction feeling like a forgone conclusion only to finish somewhere else.

NOW is the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art’s dynamic three-year series of contemporary art exhibitions. The fifth instalment in the series will be centred on a major survey of work by Anya Gallaccio.
The Paisley-born artist, who was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2003 and was a prominent figure in the Young British Artists generation, is renowned for her spectacular installations and sculptures. Using all kinds of organic materials, including trees, flowers, candles, sand and ice, she creates temporary works that change over time as they are subjected to natural processes of transformation and decay. Gallaccio also makes more permanent artworks in bronze, ceramics, stainless steel and stone that attempt to capture or arrest these processes. Exploring themes of change, growth and decay, some of the other artists appearing in NOW are French artist Aurélien Froment, sculptor and installation artist Roger Hiorns and Scottish artist Charles Avery.

Keng hwa flowers in bloom during the mid-autumn festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was a couple of days ago, and we were thrilled to see that our little keng hwa plant was set to bloom during that period. If you’re a regular here, you know that we love to wax poetic over our keng hwa flowers, and we thought it was a rather auspicious thing to happen during the harvest festival. Recently, though, thanks to the movie, Crazy Rich Asians, there’s been heightened interest in the flowers. Friends have joked that we should throw a party when the flowers bloom, even going so far as to suggest selling tickets when they heard that we expected multiple blooms!
Well, it was just my mum and sister, and I, who were fortunate enough to be out in the bright moonlight, appreciating the flowers as they began to open. I didn’t expect to be so lucky, but four flowers opened that night (the previous “best” was three). They were on different parts of the plant, facing different directions, and I don’t know if it was by design, but the first flower that opened was facing east, followed by the next in line towards the west, and so on.
This variety of the night blooming cereus is somewhat miniature compared to the “regular” plant, and doesn’t have a very strong perfume. In comparison, when the normal plant bears a single flower, the scent drifts through the entire house – from outside! It’s our usual alarm when we don’t realise that the plant is going to flower. The smaller variety, though, has a very delicate scent that isn’t that noticeable. However, with multiple blooms, the air around the plant was filled with the gentle perfume of the flowers. It seemed very apt in the moonlit garden.
Sometimes, the flowers bloom in odd positions – like against a leaf in this case.
So there we were clustered around the plant and ooh-ing and ahh-ing as the flowers began to bloom. We naturally also wanted to take lots of photos – which, let me tell you, is not easy with bland white flowers that are highly reflective, and effective at fending off the camera’s autofocus. I’ll just say, thank goodness for digital cameras!
The flower starting to wilt the morning after. It still looks beautiful to me.
There was a sequence of shots that I wanted to get, of a bud opening, and the one in the best position happened to be the last flower to open. I set up my camera on the tripod and began to take progressive photos. After an hour, though, I realised that the flower had slowed down, and that the photos looked the same as the previous ones. After another half hour, the bud was still closed, although it had swelled up like a puffer fish. I fully expected it to dramatically burst open, but after another hour, sometime after 2 a.m., I was too tired to care any more. We went to bed, and the next morning when I checked the plant … the flower was still sealed shut! It looked like the sepals were fused at the tip, which held the bud tightly shut. The way it had swelled up reminded me of a lantern, especially when we were shining our flashlights on the bud from the other side. Well, it was the Lantern Festival, after all, so it seemed like the plant wanted to join in the fun and have its own little lantern!
The stubborn bud that I now call the lantern keng hwa – taken the morning after.
I hope you had a lovely mid-autumn festival, or if you don’t celebrate it, that you at least enjoyed the beautiful full moon.

DUBAI, U.A.E.,8th March 2011: The number of Emirates' cabin crew has, for the first time, risen to over 12,000 as the airline positions itself for continuing steady growth.Emirates is currently in full recruitment mode across all six continents where it flies, looking to hire 4,000 cabin crew in the 2011/12 financial year.At this week’s ITB in Berlin, which runs from 9th-13th March, Emirates will continue its recruitment push as it seeks German-speaking cabin crew to join the growing Emirates' team.
Emirates' cabin crew is comprised of 131 nationalities, speaking more than 80 different languages. Currently, the airline has 152 aircraft in its fleet, including 15 A380s.

The airline's 15 A380 aircraft are supported by nearly 300 pilots and more than 2,000 cabin crew.
Amongst the aircraft's many talking points are the Onboard Lounge, where an extensive range of beverages are served for the full length of a flight and the Onboard Shower Spas, each maintained to the highest standards by a dedicated member of staff.This year, the Emirates Globe stand has been modified for ITB, bringing the strongest A380 experience yet to the world's largest travel trade show. Life-size replicas of the A380 Onboard Shower Spa and Onboard Lounge have been incorporated into the giant rotating structure and thousands of visitors are expected.
"The Emirates Globe is already a stand to be admired in the travel and tourism industry and now it's even better, bringing the very best of the A380 right into the heart of the biggest travel trade fair in the world,” said Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline. “At the same time, with our recruitment presence on-site, we will be looking to attract more cabin crew to be part of the Emirates' success story and to support our growing fleet of modern aircraft, including, of course, our flagship A380."
Carrying approximately 85,000 passengers each day throughout the 2010/11 financial year, Emirates now flies to 111 destinations in 66 countries. Three new passenger destinations have been announced so far this year; Basra in Iraq, which launched 2nd February, Geneva, starting 1st June and Copenhagen, beginning 1st August.

If you want to hear good news from your dentist at your next dental exam, you need to brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss at least once a day, and avoid foods and beverages high in sugar. If you smoke, quit and if you drink alcohol, do so in moderation.
Regular exams and cleanings are also important to your dental health. This is especially important for older adults, diabetics, cancer patients and pregnant women. Nobody looks forward to going to the dentist, but we go anyway. Regular checkups and good dental hygiene habits can help prevent dental disease, and dental examinations give dentists the opportunity to spot dental issues and general health problems, too.
When a dentist examines your teeth he or she is looking for indications of health and dental issues.
Acid Reflux – Problems with halitosis might indicate a disease like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Another symptom can be tooth erosion.
Type 2 Diabetes – Periodontal disease, which is most common in people 65 and older, can disrupt your body’s ability to control blood sugar. Those with type 2 diabetes are more prone to periodontal disease.
Low Bone Density – Loose teeth could indicate low bone mineral density.
Autoimmune Disease – Severe dry mouth can indicate Sjogren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease.
Celiac Disease – A gastrointestinal autoimmune disease can affect the teeth by damaging tooth enamel, discoloration and spots.
Eating Disorders – Symptoms of anorexia and bulimia can be seen in the mouth including tooth decay, gum disease, dry mouth and canker sores.
Although you may not like going to the dentist, it is important to see one regularly. If costs are a problem for you, consider purchasing dental insurance. A good policy can help with your budget.

WELL, I just call that rude.
There she is again, working on her building project right next door, and she can’t even spare me a glance.
Her husband’s no better. He’s hovering nearby, keeping an eye out. For what? North Vancouver District property inspectors? Hardly. Neither of them seems to care a bit about the rules. Some neighbours think they’re all that.
Instead of consulting plans or combing lists of local regulations, she keeps up the construction work to beat the band. I guess she’s the one all those home-reno shows are aimed at, the social climber who thinks nothing of frantically building, then abandoning her latest residence in favour of something she deems superior for herself and her family.
We’ve had other neighbours like this – property flippers who kept us hopping with months of noisy, smelly alterations to their side of our common property. Eventually, after their improvements inconvenienced us for the umpteenth time, we were not even on speaking terms.
Much like it is with these two. They ignore my curiosity entirely. They don’t care if I approve or not, or if the sight of their breakneck enterprise disturbs my solipsistic afternoons.
It’s not that I mind them being here. I’m actually intrigued by their youthful energy, their barrel-chested shenanigans. While I myself have no interest in sawing or dry-walling or painting, or even advising anybody on window placement, I’d love to lend a hand in my own quiet way.
Why, just yesterday, and today, I went into my basement, collected a bunch of comfortable-looking clothes-dryer lint, and tossed it in the yard while they were out, presumably getting a bite to eat. “Be my guests,” I said, under my breath.
They’re obviously cheapskates when it comes to finding supplies, so I thought they’d appreciate my generosity. Who wouldn’t? You need something, your neighbour drops it by without your even mentioning it. I think that makes me just about the nicest person on the block, but again, no response.
My donated construction materials are still out there, looking like sodden rainclouds. What am I, a politician dangling empty election promises? No. I’m the sort of person where, if you gave me the least bit of encouragement, I would probably bake you something. I’d lend you a book, get my kid to mow your lawn. I’m basically a mensch.
Well, what would you call someone like me who sits in a chair, smiling, silently staring at you while you build what might well turn out – from my perspective -- to be an eyesore, and then, unasked, just throws a few supplies your way?
Another thing I’m doing is keeping interlopers off their property. Ordinarily I might invite anyone over, regardless of his or her interests. But now, say my friend was one of those French chefs who collects the tiny, rare songbirds called ortolans, puts them in dark boxes to eat themselves silly, drowns them in a snifter of Armagnac, then roasts them and feeds them whole to debauched rich people at private dinners on the hush-hush. I have to say that I would not invite that friend over right now, not while our new neighbours are so busy.
I’ve also been keeping buddies with pets at bay. There are currently no dogs on the premises and I have no plans to invite any over in the foreseeable future. I have also consistently refused to allow admission to anybody even vaguely feline. This season, women with cat-like eyes are not on my party list.
Likewise, I’m not returning the calls of people who loved the musical Cats.
I’ll explain it all to them later, how I was being respectful and considerate, how I feared my new neighbours might be allergic to, or intolerant of, animals. These friends will probably forgive me, and if some of them don’t, well, honestly, the fact that they enjoyed Cats has always been a bit of a bone of contention. Dreadful story, awful songs -- that friendship has probably sailed.
All this is my way of trying to establish a connection with the new couple next door. Yet they remain decidedly standoffish, as if I’m not good enough to cultivate.

Outgoing US President George Bush has said his biggest regret is the failure of intelligence over Iraqi weapons.
In a wide-ranging TV interview, he declined to say whether he would have decided to invade Iraq if he had known it had no weapons of mass destruction.
Asked about what he regarded as his greatest achievement, Mr Bush said that his administration had fought a war against "ideological thugs".
Mr Bush will hand over to President-elect Barack Obama on 20 January.
The outgoing president told ABC television: "The biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq."
He added: "I wish the intelligence had been different."
Asked what his greatest accomplishment was, Mr Bush replied: "I keep recognising we're in a war against ideological thugs and keeping America safe."
He also defended his actions over the recent economic crises.
"When the history of this period is written, people will realise a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so," he told ABC.
Mr Bush - whose approval ratings are at an historic low - said he was happy for history to be his judge.
"I will leave the presidency with my head held high," he said.
Will Bush Iraq plan affect US race?

Whether you are new at building your body or an expert, a good protein powder is essential as it is the most vital thing you must have every day to gain muscles.
While you can easily ingest protein from the food you eat, protein powder ensures that you are getting enough of it everyday. Protein supplements are also easier and quicker to absorb, accelerating you workout progress.
If you want to increase the amount of help you get by taking these supplements, then there are 2 things that you need to consider about protein supplements.
There are many types of different protein powders available in the market and each will help you differently to progress. The most commonly used is the whey protein that is a byproduct of cheese making and the whey isolate is higher in fat, lactose and carbohydrates. Another type of protein is Casein that is a slower digesting protein and both whey and casein are derived from milk.
Protein derived from whole egg is called albumen and this is good for people who are lactose intolerant or avoid gluten. Another lactose and gluten free protein is pea protein.
Most of these protein supplements can be quite costly but don’t buy one because it is cheap, pick one that will suit you best. You can also find many affordable supplements discounts & vouchers online to reduce prices of the products.
Protein timing is the time that you have the protein so that it helps maximize results. If you are building muscle, the best time to have protein is when you get up in the morning, before and after your workout and right before you go to sleep. Sticking to this mean plan can increase muscle growth instead of having the protein shake randomly through the day.
Taking more protein powder than necessary can result in the excess calories from the protein to be stored as fat in your body and is in no way beneficial. The recommended amount a normal adult to consume is 0.08 – 1 gram of protein per kilogram.

Remote work is easier than ever before due to the internet, digital communication tools and the software as a service (SaaS) business model. Sure, you can still sell products online from the “comfort” of a cubicle, but you can do the same with a laptop at home or in the local coffee shop.
The remote working trend has become increasingly more popular over the years and is now so pervasive that companies like Dell, Amazon, Apple, GitHub and American Express allow their employees to work remotely (depending on the position), and 43 percent of American employees spend at least some time working remotely. Remote teams have become common not just because of the convenience factor but because people who work remotely are often more productive than their office-based counterparts.
But life unattached to a central office isn’t all good or all easy. Remote team members create some serious managerial challenges you probably wouldn’t encounter if those workers were in-house with you daily. Unfortunately, many of those difficulties and the rules of management that should be associated with them are rarely discussed among team members. To break that silence, here are three unspoken rules of remote team management that you and every other leader should adhere to.
1. Don't text important conversations.
Miscommunication is rampant with text messages. According to Psychology Today, experiences help people determine the meaning of a text message. That makes sense when you think about it. With text, the receiver can’t take tone of voice, cadence or body expression into account. They have to depend on what that phrase has usually meant in past conversations.
If a boss texts their employee, for instance, “How is that report coming? I’m excited you’ll be done with it soon,” one person might think, Nice! My boss is excited to see the work I’ve done, while another worker thinks, Of course… my boss doesn’t trust me to get the report done on time.
To avoid miscommunications like this, save important conversations for a phone call or video call rather than hastily sending them over text. This will not only clarify expectations and break barriers of miscommunication but will create meaningful dialogue around especially important matters.
2. Respect your workers’ personal time.
Nothing kills employee satisfaction quicker than making people work overtime consistently every week. But too much overtime doesn’t just kill employee satisfaction; it kills productivity, too. CNBC reports that productivity drops dramatically in employees who consistently work 50-hour weeks. After 55 hours, workers are practically worthless.
Unsurprisingly, overworking remote employees is far more common than overworking in-office employees. There are two main reasons for that. First off, remote workers often don’t clock hours at all or do so irregularly, making it difficult to know how many hours your team is actually working. Second, various time zones can make it challenging to know when people are clocked in, done for the day or on a break.
A risk of managing remote workers is unintentionally straining your team and killing productivity. For that reason, use physical notes, digital reminders or time-tracking software to ensure you respect your remote team’s personal time. This is ever more critical when time zones are drastically different.
3. Schedule in-office days to build trust.
Managing a remote team often means never meeting your team in person, but it doesn’t have to, and it shouldn’t. Generally speaking, employees work harder when they know, like and trust the people they work with. Sadly, the opposite is also true. As Harvard Business Review reports, disengaged workers have 37 percent more absenteeism, make 60 percent more errors and are 18 percent less productive than engaged workers. It pays to keep your workers engaged in what they’re doing. Allowing your team to bond in-person is a great way to keep everyone interested.
This doesn’t need to happen so often that it’s wildly expensive, though. Consider bringing team members into the office once every six months or even just once a year. If some of the team lives internationally, then try to re-create the effect for those people by bring them on via video call during important discussions. When people can bond with their teammates face-to-face, it increases trust between them. They are more productive, experience fewer miscommunications and often become more loyal to the company.
Stephen M.R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust, proclaims, “Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.” My best remote workers are the ones I trust the most because I took time to build relationships with them.
Remote workers are generally happier and more productive than in-office employees -- assuming you manage them correctly. If you don’t, they can be less loyal, more frustrated and more overworked. Remote work is what you, the boss, make it.

The way we interact with digital mediums is changing, and that is apparent in the requirements when clients request application layouts and user flows from designers. As such, there is an increased need from consumers (and users) for more intuitive design of an application. In this project, the Five Factor Model (FFM), also known as the Big Five personality traits will be used.

West Vancouver Skin Care Clinic is a licensed and trained healthcare professional with the necessary experience to administer Botox Cosmetic by Allergan. Botox can be used for a variety of different treatments such as hyperhidrosis, wrinkles and skin elasticity.
Botox® Cosmetic is a purified protein concentrate produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria that is injected into facial lines to alleviate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The process takes approximately 10 minutes, and there is no down time involved.
BOTOX ® Cosmetic works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles. It sounds scary – but is totally safe! The injection reduces muscle activity that is responsible for the formation of frown lines. Not only does this process soften wrinkles, but also prevents them from getting worse.
You may notice some change approximately 3 days after your initial injection. Frown lines will continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months.
Side effects from BOTOX ® are rare. Dr. Wayne Smith is extremely well versed in Botox® injection and has been using the product for many years. Some patients may experience mild bruising, or temporary drooping of the eyelid. These side effects disappear within two to three days following the procedure.
How can I be sure I’m getting authentic BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Only licensed and trained healthcare professionals have the necessary experience to administer BOTOX® Cosmetic. Allergan, the maker of BOTOX®, is the only source to purchase the product.
What happens if I discontinue my treatment?
If you discontinue your treatment, the frown lines will gradually return to the condition they were before treatment.

Gohara has yet to pitch in a game as he continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury. With no timetable for his return, the southpaw should be considered out indefinitely.
Gohara (shoulder) is not pitching in minor-league games yet, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Mike Soroka, who also dealt with a shoulder injury this spring, has started pitching in minor-league games, so Gohara is further behind. The Braves don't expect either player back in the big leagues anytime soon, and Gohara should be considered out indefinitely for now.
Gohar (shoulder) was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
Gohara could have been involved in the battle for the Braves' final rotation spot this spring, but lingering shoulder issues kept that from being a real possibility. He appears to be trending in the right direction but won't be built up in time to challenge for a job. He could recapture some of his former hype and put himself back in the mix with strong numbers at the Triple-A level, though he'll have to beat out a large crop of similarly promising young pitchers.
Gohara (shoulder) tossed a live batting-practice session Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
After recently completing a pair of bullpen sessions, Gohara took another step forward in his recovery from a left shoulder issue by facing hitters. Assuming he reports no ill effects following Thursday's team off-day, Gohara will likely make his Grapefruit League debut at some point over the weekend.
Gohara (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session Wednesday, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Gohara has been brought along slowly this spring, but the report notes that if all goes well during Wednesday's session, Gohara could get into a game as soon as this weekend.

The Walter P. Chrysler Boyhood Home was built in 1889, in typical nineteenth-century, Midwestern style, constructed of white pine clapboard with a cedar shingle roof. The Chrysler family occupied this house from 1889 until 1908.
Many families owned the home until 1952 when Joe Herbert, the Dodge/Plymouth dealer in Ellis, bought the home because it was becoming run down. The Chrysler Corporation purchased it from Herbert and in 1954 the home officially opened as a museum. In 1955, Jack Chrysler, Walter’s son and other Chrysler management came and presented the deed of the home to the city of Ellis. There was a celebration complete with a parade.
A new building was erected behind the home in 1994 to display personal items Walter Chrysler. Walter’s Grandson, Jack Chrysler Jr., Great-Grandson Frank Rhodes, other Chrysler family members and Chrysler management were in attendance for the grand opening of the new Museum.
A 50th Anniversary Celebration took place in 2005 complete with a parade that included over 100 Chrysler products. Many Chrysler family members and Chrysler employees came and participated in the festivities.

Owners of iPhone 6 Plus devices have been complaining of "touch disease," a flickering bar the appears at the top of the screen for no apparent reason.
Apple is now offering a fix for the problem, which it says occurs when the phone has been dropped on a hard surface too many times or has been subjected to other stresses. The repair costs $149. Customers who have already paid more than that can apply for a refund of the difference. More information can be found here.
There's some controversy about the cause of the problem. While it may be true that dropping the phone is the most obvious cause, some techies are saying it's a design flaw.
iFixit, a tech repair site, says the placement of touch-screen chips causes them to work loose "as the phone flexes or twists" during normal use. You may recall that when the rather lengthy 6 Plus was introduced, some users found that they could bend it with their bare hands, which was probably not something Apple designers expected.
The flexibility issue is at the heart of several class action lawsuits that have been filed against the company. Apple's offer to fix the problem for a fairly nominal charge may short-circuit that action.
