MANILA (Reuters) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday approved the closure of the country’s most famous tourist island, Boracay, for six months from April 26, his spokesman said, paving the way for a major cleanup of what he had described as a “sewer pool”.
Boracay, on the northern tip of central Panay island, is a top destination for local and foreign tourists and its sugary white sand, lively night scene and abundant water sports attracted nearly 2 million visitors last year.
The island earns revenue from luxury hotels such as Shangri-La’s five-star Boracay Resort & Spa and beachside restaurants and also employs thousands of local residents.
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque announced Duterte’s decision via Twitter without giving further details.
Duterte, whose leadership style has been criticized as dictatorial, has castigated the local government and residents for “overzealous” development and permitting beachfront building with inadequate sewage and water treatment facilities.
Many businesses on the island have been releasing wastewater directly into the sea, violating rules on wastewater management, according to Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu.
Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra, described the discussion about Boracay’s temporary closure during a cabinet meeting late on Wednesday as “exhaustive” and said affected companies would receive financial assistance.
The closure, which is shorter than the one-year shutdown recommended by the environment ministry, comes just a few weeks after the government gave Macau casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd permission to build a $500 million casino and resort in Boracay.
Philippine Airlines said it will scale down its services to Caticlan and Kalibo airports, the gateways to Boracay, for six months from April following the government’s decision.
It will expand flights to other tourist and provincial destinations in the Philippines, it said in a statement.

The address of the Thai Terrace sounds like a bit of a joke - 7th Floor, Castle Car Park - but in fact it massively undersells what turns out to be a stunning venue; a huge penthouse with smart bar area, comfy sofas, wooden panel partitions and a dining area surrounded by glass offering amazing views across the rooftops of Guildford. I could get quite poetic about it!
It was a Tuesday evening - deliberately chosen so as not to be too busy - but the place was heaving. Lord only knows what it must be like at weekends. We started with cocktails and spent the first 15 minutes taking in the atmosphere.
The menus are on sort of bamboo clipboards, an original idea that fits in well with the surroundings - and there is much to read as the choice is enormous.
Helen, our photographer, dived in and went for the mixed starters for one, which turned out to be a wise choice (lamb satay, chicken wrapped in pandan leaves, deep fried prawn with sesame seeds, minced herbed pork with crabmeat). I chose the Kanom Pang Na Goong - prawn on toast dipped in egg yolk then deep fried and served with sweet chilli sauce. Both were enjoyable and easy to share between two.
My main course was Pla Ma-Karm - deep fried tilapia fish over pak choi topped with honey-tamarind sauce and crispy shallot. Tilapia has a reputation for blandness and certainly that was the case here, though the pak choi base added flavour and texture. I chose steamed jasmine rice as an accompaniment, which had the sticky rice texture distinctive in Thai cuisine. Helen fared well with Phad Thai Goong Sod - fried Thai style rice noodles with tiger prawns and bean sprouts topped with egg net - which looked great and had more flavour and interest than mine - and a side order of egg fried rice.
We shared a dessert: Thai Terrace's assorted homemade Thai desserts, made using fresh coconut milk and palm sugar. Pick of the bunch was a sweet rice reminiscent of cold rice pudding - delicious.
A delight for me was the wine list - broad and varied with prices to suit all. I chose a Chilean white, a 2006 Monte Verde Chardonnay, which was very acceptable.
I walked into the Thai Terrace hoping and expecting to be as knocked out by the food and service (radio controlled judging by the earpieces) as I was by the restaurant itself, but my general feeling afterwards was that they didn't quite match up to the surroundings. Having said that, it's extremely popular, and the buzzy, trendy atmosphere alone is enough to make it a great evening out. Go along and see for yourself.
Prominently perched on Richmond Hill, 'Restaurant at The Petersham' offers fine British cooking in elegant surroundings. Each table boasts unspoilt, panoramic views of the River Thames and Petersham meadow (see next month's Surrey Life for a full review).
Serving brasserie style dishes and situated at the top of House of Fraser, the views and beautiful water garden surrounding the café revive tired shoppers. On warmer days, the opportunity to dine outside is not to be missed.
With the opportunity for pre-dinner drinks in the Cocktail Bar overlooking the Japanese bridge, or relaxing on the terrace through the summer months, Great Fosters offers high quality dining in beautiful surroundings.

Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya and Mozambique participated in the study, which aimed to capture and share institutional memory and experiences related to climate compatible development, and reflect on recommendations to support future decisions. The study was funded by CDKN and facilitated by the Centre for International Development and Training (CIDT) at the University of Wolverhampton. Rwanda’s national learning study was undertaken from July 2013 to February 2014, through a literature review and semi-structured interview and questionnaire process involving over 30 stakeholders. A stakeholder’s workshop was held in Kigali, Rwanda, in February 2014 to validate the key lessons and results. Discussions explored key drivers, challenges, opportunities and lessons that could be shared within Rwanda and with other interested countries. The working paper highlights some of the results of this process across Rwanda’s priority thematic areas: governance and institutional arrangements; legislation, policies and strategies; mainstreaming, planning and budgeting; financing; and knowledge generation. This brief also summarises recommendations from the study to inform future work.

Confusion reigns over the large fir tree in front of the museum which has been cut down as part of Wilton Lodge Park’s £3.64million regeneration.
Monday night’s Hawick Community Council meeting in the lesser town hall heard conflicting views over whether or not the tree, which is one of two which recognise Hawick’s twin town status with Bailleul, had been earmarked for removal in a bid to improve the views to and from the museum.
Chair Marion Short said she had sought clarification from park regeneration manager Scott Castle, and although he had not responded, she was contacted by one of his colleagues, Kevin McCrory, who insisted the tree was “always always noted for removal and was included in the drawing issued and discussed with councillors and Hawick in Bloom prior to work commencing”.
Mrs Short said she had spoken to Hawick in Bloom’s John Ingles after the tree had been cut down to around five or six feet high, and the former Scottish Borders Council parks manager was “adamant, very clear in his mind that that specific tree was not to be cut down”.
She said that the remaining stump would be carved into the shape of a trout, which would be a compromise they would have to accept.
Explaining the rationale behind the choice of a trout, community councillor French Wight said 2016 was the Year of the Trout in Wilton Lodge Park.
Community councillor Andy Maybury: “So one way or another, somebody has got it wrong. If it’s the contractors, which sounds less likely, then there will be a penalty clause which needs to be activated.
Mr McAteer said Mr Castle should be asked to provide an explanation at the Wilton Lodge Park Stakeholders meeting later this month.
Councillor Paterson reiterated: “It was made quite clear at several meetings I was at that the tree was to be taken away to open up the site and let people see the museum from the A7, to get more people into the park.
Mrs Short said there had been a great deal of misunderstanding and echoed Mr McAteer’s comment that the issue should be raised at the forthcoming stakeholders meeting.

WATERTOWN, Mass. – Bentley scored four times in the second period, and forced a decisive game three Sunday night by beating Mercyhurst 5-3 in game two of the Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals Saturday night at the JAR. Freshman Kyle Schmidt (Menomonee Falls, Wisc./Sioux City) had a hat trick.
Bentley trailed 1-0 after the first period, but scored three times in the first 3:57 of the second period to take command. The Falcons controlled the first period and outshot Mercyhurst 15-8, but conceded a goal to Chris Bodo just 25 seconds before intermission to put them in a 1-0 hole.
But Bentley quickly erased the deficit and gained back the momentum as captain Alex Grieve (Calgary, Alberta/Westside) scored just 1:16 into the second frame on a shot from outside the right face-off circle.
Bentley then went on the power play after a roughing penalty on forward Kyle Just, and the Falcons took advantage on a Max French (West Kelowna, B.C./West Kelowna) goal at 2:17 for a 2-1 lead. Andrew Gladiuk (White Rock, B.C./Nanaimo) had an initial shot on net that was saved by Mercyhurst goalie Brandon Wildung, but French was there in front of the net to jam home the rebound.
Bentley briefly thought they had taken a 3-1 lead after Grieve crashed the net after a shot by Schmidt, only for it overturned on a review after the officials deemed it was kicked in. But that didn't deter the Falcons, as Schmidt scored his first of the night just seconds later at 3:57 from defensemen Matt Maher (Avon, Conn./Westside) and Chris Buchanan (San Jose, Calif./Fargo) to make it 3-1.
Schmidt scored his second of the period at 11:59 to give Bentley a 4-1 lead, and that spelled the end of the night for Wildung. It was the second time this season Bentley has scored four goals in a period.
Bentley went into the third period leading 4-1, but Mercyhurst got back in it with a power play goal, as Just blasted a shot from the left face-off circle over the glove of Jayson Argue (Swan River, Manitoba/Nanaimo) and into the top-corner, which made it a 4-2 game at 6:10 of the third.
Despite being outshot in the third, Argue and the Bentley defense kept it a 4-2 game. Mercyhurst pulled goalie Spencer Bacon with 2:45 remaining for an extra-attacker, but Bentley took advantage with an empty goal by Schmidt for his hat trick. After making an interception, Schmidt fired a shot from the defensive zone into the back of the net to make it 5-2 at 18:24.
Argue made 26 saves to earn the win.
The deciding game three will be Sunday night at 7:05 from Ryan Arena.

In May 2011, Vanderbilt's director of religious life told me that the group I'd helped lead for two years, Graduate Christian Fellowship—a chapter of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship—was on probation. We had to drop the requirement that student leaders affirm our doctrinal and purpose statement, or we would lose our status as a registered student organization.
I met with him to understand the change. During the previous school year, a Christian fraternity had expelled several students for violating their behavior policy. One student said he was ousted because he is gay. Vanderbilt responded by forbidding any belief standards for those wanting to join or lead any campus group.

Vehicles parked on UD property by students, faculty or staff must display a current UD registration decal. These decals are available, twenty-four hours a day, from the University of Dallas Police Department located on the first floor of Haggar University Center. If a registered vehicle is sold, or otherwise disposed of, the old decal must be removed, University of Dallas Police Department must be notified, and the replacement vehicle registered. Decals may not be mounted to any nonpermanent device or transferred from one vehicle to another. To register a vehicle, all students must fill out the online registration form available at Cashnet and show a current UD Identification Card. To be registered, vehicles must be in operating condition with current state registrations, inspections and tags.
The University of Dallas has enacted the following parking and traffic regulations for safety and security, as well as to make parking and traffic flow at UD as efficient as possible. They apply to all students and visitors. Voluntary compliance with these regulations is the goal, rather than to assess fines. Parking fines have been enacted to deter violations. A one time waiver on a failure to register citation will be given with the purchase of a current decal within 7 days of receiving the first citation. A one day temporary parking permit will be available free of charge.
Undergraduate Students and Braniff Graduate Students: If a permit is purchased in the fall semester, the fee is $125.00 for the entire academic school year. If a permit is not purchased until the spring semester, the fee is $75.00 for the remainder of the academic school year. If a permit is not purchased until the summer, the fee is $25.00. All permits issued to Undergraduate Students and Braniff Graduate Students will expire on August 31. Registration decals are placed on the inside of the front windshield of the vehicle, above or beside the state mandated stickers, OR in the center of the windshield behind the rearview mirror, below the tinted area. The decal must be clearly visible to a person standing in front of the vehicle.
Parking Fees for Students enrolled in the University of Dallas’ Satish and Yasmin Gupta College of Business and University of Dallas Ann & Joe O. Neuhoff School of Ministry Degree Programs: Students purchase hang tags for University parking. The single purchase Parking Hang Tag can be moved between and used for multiple vehicles. If a permit is purchased in the fall semester, the fee is $125.00 for the entire academic year and will expire on August 31. If a permit is not purchased until the spring semester, the fee is $75.00 and will expire on August 31. If a permit is not purchased until the summer, the fee is $25 and will expire on August 31. Students that are exclusively taking courses online do not have to purchase a permit and should park in Visitor parking. Hang tags must be displayed from the rearview mirror.
The University is unable to provide "close-in" parking for all vehicles. Purchasing a parking permit does not guarantee a parking place nor does the perceived lack of parking space justify violation of any parking regulation.
Rules and regulations are enforced year round, including weekends, holidays, breaks, study days, and summer (with the exception of VISITOR spaces, which are enforced 7 am to 5 pm weekdays).
The speed limit on all University property is 20 MPH. Violators may be ticketed.
UD is not responsible for loss or damage to vehicles parked on or in transit on UD property.
Any vehicle operated or parked on University property must comply with the state registration requirements and display a current vehicle registration sticker and license tags. Additionally, proof of liability insurance must be carried in the vehicle and shown to University of Dallas Police Department upon request. Failure to meet these requirements may result in the vehicle being banned from campus.
Any inoperable vehicle on the UD campus may be towed at the owner's expense.
Throughout the year the campus may host special events that require reserved parking for the patrons. This may result in some inconvenience to students, but does not authorize drivers to violate parking regulations.
Any questions regarding the parking and traffic regulations may be directed to University of Dallas Police Department. The department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and may be contacted at any time by calling 972-721-5305 or by using the emergency phones that are strategically located throughout the campus.
All vehicles parked at any time on UD property must display a current parking permit. Permits may not be falsified, transferred to another person or vehicle, forged or altered. Permits must be permanently affixed to the inside of the vehicle’s front window, lower left side. Motorcycle permits must be readily visible.
All expired UD parking permits must be removed from the vehicle prior to affixing the current year permit.
Purchasing a new vehicle or changing from the vehicle originally registered requires a replacement permit. Additionally, lost, stolen or damaged permits must be replaced immediately. The fee for a replacement permit is $10.00 when the remains of the original permit are returned. Otherwise, the replacement fee will be the cost of purchasing a permit for the remainder of the current year. This fee applies to all permit types.
Temporary permits are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the University of Dallas Police Department for those with a current parking permit. There is no charge for a temporary permit; however, these will be issued for a maximum of 14 days. If another vehicle is being used for longer than 14 days, a permanent permit must be purchased.
If name or permit number are not known this citation is issued to the owner/operator of the vehicle. Students are responsible for any citation issued to their vehicle.
Fines must be paid within seven (7) days. Fines can be charged to the student account.
University of Dallas Police Department Officers will issue citations for observed Parking or Traffic violations. A copy of the citation will be attached to the vehicle in violation or, when the violator is present, will be presented to the violator. The University of Dallas Police Department maintains records of all violations. Citations for violators who cannot be stopped or who will not stop are forwarded to the registered owner of the vehicle. NOTE: University of Dallas Police Department Officers are not empowered to void a written citation.
Unless otherwise posted or published, all traffic and parking rules are in effect seven days per week, twenty-four hours per day. No deviation from published rules, or issue of special parking permits will be made without the prior approval of the University of Dallas Police Department.
Information Regarding Appeals: You cannot appeal a ticket because you believe it is unfair. If you are illegally parked for any reason, and/or for any amount of time, your appeal will be denied. Opinions that you do not believe the fines imposed or the rules are unfair will not be permitted during the ticket appeal hearing. Attending a Ticket Appeal Hearing Appeals are held by appointment only. You will be required to make a decision to attend the appeal hearing or not. If you choose to attend then you must appear. Failure to appear will result in your appeal being denied. Individuals appealing parking violations will be notified as to when and where to appear. You will receive an e-mail regarding your appeal, which may take up to two weeks to process.
Vehicles that have been charged with three (3) or more citations may be immobilized or towed. There is a $50 service charge to release an immobilized vehicle. The owner of a vehicle towed from campus is responsible for all costs related to the towing and storage of the vehicle.
The University shall not, nor shall any of its authorized personnel, be liable or assume any responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from a vehicle being immobilized or towed.
The payment of fines for traffic citations does not remove citations from the record. Citations accumulate during the academic year.
An indefinite number of parking citations will not be tolerated.
Persons who have been charged with three citations may be notified that their parking privileges are in jeopardy.
Upon receipt of the sixth citation, parking privileges may be immediately suspended.
Failure to comply with the terms of the suspension, or continued receipt of citations may result in an additional $100.00 fine along with the offense fine, immediate towing, and disciplinary action by the Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs.
Special loading/unloading areas will be designated for fall "move in" and spring "move out" of residence halls and identified by temporary signs.
Visitors (parents) and students are expected to show courtesy to others by moving vehicles from these zones into other authorized parking spaces as soon as possible.
Vehicles are forbidden from driving or parking on sidewalks or grass at any time. Violators are subject to having their vehicles towed at owner's expense.
Theft of, damage to or accidents involving vehicles should be reported to the University of Dallas Police Department immediately.
Theft of or damage to personal property or property owned by UD (while on campus) should be reported to the University of Dallas Police Department immediately.
All lost and found items should be reported to or brought to the University of Dallas Police Department as soon as possible.
Students may not leave their vehicle on UD property during a semester in which they are not enrolled (including summer) without the consent of the University of Dallas Police Department.
The University of Dallas strongly discourages Students, Faculty or Staff from leaving vehicles on its property unmoved for any reason. However, should it become necessary to leave a vehicle for longer than 48 hours due to breakdown or other reason the University of Dallas Police Department must be advised as to the nature of the problem and the owner's plans to move the vehicle. Vehicles that do not have a current license plate, vehicle inspection sticker or current registration decal may be treated as an abandoned vehicle.
Registration decals are placed on the inside of the front windshield of the vehicle, above or beside the state mandated stickers, OR in the center of the windshield behind the rearview mirror, below the tinted area. The decal must be clearly visible to a person standing in front of the vehicle. Hang tags must be displayed from the rearview mirror. On motorcycles, attach the decal on the lower left corner of the windshield, or on the center line side with the front fork facing outward. It must be visible from the front. Or, the owner may fabricate a metal plate on the rear of the vehicle and attach the decal there.
Any possession of narcotics or of weapons (even with a State of Texas "Concealed Carry" permit) on the UD campus is in violation of UD regulations.
Bicycles should be secured in bicycle racks and registered with the University of Dallas Police Department. Riders must comply with all state and local laws. Pedestrians have the right of way.
Special temporary disabled/handicap permits may be obtained from the University of Dallas Police Department by presenting a doctor's certificate stating length of disability. The special permit allows parking in all parking areas and visitor lots. It DOES NOT allow parking in State handicap spaces, reserved spaces, fire lanes, or 10 minute zones. A current UD permit is required to obtain a temporary disabled/handicap permit.
All buses, RV's, trailers, and boats must obtain permission from the University of Dallas Police Department Chief before parking on UD property. NO PERMANENT PARKING ALLOWED FOR THESE VEHICLES.

Major new investment has been pledged for Dundee on the back of its V&A museum opening to transform it into one of Scotland’s top tourism destinations.
The Scottish Government has vowed to help the city become an ideal new short break or holiday destination within the next few years.
It has pledged to build on the “V&A effect” which has already seen new hotels, bars and restaurants open up in the run-up to the opening of the museum, and ensure that the city’s creative sector and cultural sectors thrive.
The value of the tourism industry to Dundee is already on the rise, with the latest figures showing an increase of nearly 10 per cent in overnight visitors, while business tourism said to have soared by 7.4 per cent over the same period.
However the government says it wants to work with the local authority and industry bodies to ensure Dundee fully capitalises on the success of the arrival of its V&A museum, which has been predicted to generate £11.6 million for the city’s economy each year.
A key priority will be reversing the long-term decline in Dundee’s population, which has slumped from around 180,000 in 1971 to 150,000.
But she said “ambitious” new proposals for Dundee were currently under consideration in the Tay Cities Deal proposals submitted to ministers last year. The UK and Scottish governments are expected to outline a spending package in the next few months, however as many as 15,000 new jobs have been predicted across Dundee, Angus, Fife, and Perthshire.
Among the major Dundee projects put forward are the transformation of a former printworks building into a culture and creative industries hub, new-look attractions promoting historic ships Unicorn and Discovery, overhauls for Dundee Contemporary Arts and Dundee Science Centre, a cruise liner terminal and an aviation academy.
Other projects to emerge more recently include a 6,000-capacity concert arena and conference centre, and a new purpose-built home for Dundee Rep.
Ms Hyslop said: “Since work on V&A Dundee started, progress has been unprecedented for the city and the waterfront area is in the process of being completely transformed. From increased public participation and community engagement to new hospitality investment by Apex, Malmaison and Hilton, V&A Dundee has helped enhance the profile of the city, fostering growth and attracting public and private investment in retail, leisure and hospitality.
“The ‘V&A effect’ can already be witnessed, with many new hotels being booked almost to capacity and new restaurants and shops opening within the city centre and beyond. Confidence is growing on all levels, and it is anticipated this will draw in further new investment in the years to come.
“We are committed to ensuring that the welcome boost the V&A opening has given to the city and the positive effect of the wider waterfront regeneration project can continue.
“In the next years, our priority will be to make sure that Dundee’s economy and creative sector can continue to thrive.
“We are committed to ensuring Dundee and surrounding areas continue to work together to develop a wider and more coherent visitor’s offer in the coming years, so that people in Scotland and elsewhere increasingly see the city as a top tourist destination—ideal for a city break or a longer holiday, and not just a day out.
With the vast majority of Scotland’s population living within only a 90 minute drive of Dundee, the city is right at the heart of Scotland. We’re keen to continue to engage with all parties involved—from the Council to local businesses to industry and public bodies—to ensure Dundee capitalises on the success of the V&A and attracts tourists from further afield, while ensuring appropriate infrastructure and hospitality options are in place.

Tips On Preventing Ingrown Toenails - Toronto, Ontario Podiatrist - Sheldon H. Nadal D.P.M.
Have you ever experienced an ingrown toenail? In case you haven’t, it’s just as painful as it sounds. Also known as onychocryptosis, this condition can cause you to develop an infection if it’s left untreated. In some cases, you may also need to have surgery to remove part of the ingrown toenail. Some of the most prevalent causes of ingrown toenails include trimming your nails too short, wearing shoes that are too small/tight for your feet, and foot-related injuries. Even fungal infections can cause you to develop an ingrown toenail. Thankfully, with the right preventative maintenance, you can avoid developing ingrown toenails.
· When trimming your toenails, try to be as precise as possible. If you trim your nails too short, some of them can easily develop into ingrown toenails.
· Be sure to wear the correct size of shoes, and refrain from wearing socks that are too tight. If your shoes are excessively worn or too small for your feet, it can cause several foot-related problems, such as hammertoes and ingrown toenails.
· If you find that you’re starting to develop an ingrown toenail, soak your foot in warm salt water several times a day. At the same time, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with a reputable podiatrist. If you wait too long to treat it, skin can eventually grow over the ingrown toenail and lead to a painful infection.
If you're seeking a location in the Toronto area that can help you effectively treat an ingrown toenail, check out the office of Sheldon H. Nadal D.P.M. With his proven expertise, he can provide you with the individualized care you truly deserve.It's easy to see why this Toronto-based podiatry office is so highly regarded by its patients! Get the proper foot care that you need- you can learn more about his foot clinic by visiting footcare.net.

Behavior problems are one of the top reasons both dogs and cats are relinquished to animal shelters each year. But many of these "problems" are not problems at all from your pet's perspective.
Dr. Jones has a decade of experience in both the training and behavior of pets, shelter animals, as well as training her own working dogs for a wide variety of working and performance sport venues. She also completed advanced training in behavior medicine during veterinary medical school as well as extensive graduate level coursework in behavior and ethology during her master's degree in biological sciences.
Dr. Jones is currently accepting appointments for training and behavior consultations. Please click the Contact Us link to schedule an appointment!
Most behavior consultations start with a detailed questionnaire and a phone interview which usually lasts between 30-60 minutes. Once we have discussed the issue, we can schedule a private in-home session. For these sessions, please make sure your pet has not eaten in the previous 12 hours as we will use motivational methods (food and toys, depending on your dog's preference) to train both you and your dog to modify their behavior. After the session, you will be given a detailed report with instructions on how to start and maintain the training. It will be your responsibility to call Dr. Jones a few days after the appointment to discuss how things are progressing. Follow up sessions will be scheduled as needed.
Individual, Private At Home Behavior Consultation: Includes detailed questionnaire, phone interview, private in home 1.5-2 hour session, detailed instructions/recommendations, and follow up via phone or e-mail.
Additional at home sessions as needed: $50 each.

Everyone has their own way of saving and spending money. Some people spend money on homes and cars while other people spend money on the day to day things that provide higher levels of happiness. There are better ways to spend money to have more fun throughout the year.
There are some who choose to save as much as they possibly can so they can put a sizable down payment on the nicest and most expensive homes they can get financed. Some will even pay cash for the entire home to settle in to enjoy their new housing with all of their hard earned money – and not have to worry about any mortgage payments.
These two scenarios are a great way to save and begin investing money. However, there are also those who consider this method to be wrong. Laura Vanderkam recently wrote a book that talks about how everyone gets and spends income. She writers that much of what we do that we think is right is not right at all.
Vanderkam has learned that spending a smaller percentage on housing is the best option possible. Those who want to make smart financial decisions will spend a little less on housing, even though real estate agents will try to get everyone to spend considerably more. When less is spent on housing, people have more options. This includes making career changes, taking a sabbatical or even spending more money on some fun things.
Vanderkam writes in her book that more people should focus on buying what makes them happy instead of buying what society says they should buy. This means that some of the other things in life need to be forfeited. Giving up the best house or the best car can be the best solution available in order to afford all of the other things.
Just because someone is approved for a large mortgage amount doesn't mean that's what needs to be spent. The philosophy of spending less is beginning to become more apparent. When people are ready to purchase their first house, they tend to spend less than what they are approved for nowadays. This allows them to spend their extra money on vacations, socializing and much more. These experiences will provide much more pleasure than a fancier home with a little more square footage.
There is a basic assumption about money that haunts society: there is never enough. However, this is not always the case. Many people believe this because they are told to believe it. Everyone has the ability to make rational decisions about money. No one forces anyone to earn or spend money in one way over another. When anyone steps back, they will see that more resources are available than initially thought to earn more happiness than what many think they can.
Even the traditional purchase of a diamond engagement ring should be reconsidered. That $5,000 (or more) can be spent on years of nice dinners out, floral bouquets and so much more.
Social media is not doing society any favors. People trying to rein in spending are often finding it difficult to do so when they spend too much time on social media. This is because people are keeping up with the Jones. The Jones family may be someone that was in your life years ago that you never talk with anymore. However, if they post on Facebook that they just got back from a fancy (and expensive) vacation, you will be making comparisons about it to your own way of living. It's not right that you do this but you do it anyways.
The book that Vanderkam wrote is packed with many fresh ideas about earning and spending money. It provides people with a new perspective on how much funds are really needed to achieve the average goals. She claims that maybe people aren't spending their money correctly if it's said that it can't buy happiness.
It's good to be happy and money can and will bring happiness. Anyone who says they don't have the money to buy what they want or do what they want obviously isn't spending their money right. Sure, they may drive the fanciest car, but is that what's bringing them the most happiness? Probably not. Those that drive lesser cars and lesser homes often have the money to take the fancier vacations, traveling, and buy the various things for their homes that really make them happy.
Vanderkam is a mother of three. She knows about spending money and trying to keep everyone happy. By criticizing conventional wisdom, she may have stumbled onto something – society is spending their money wrong. By learning to spend money differently, anyone can have more money to spend on the fun things in life.

Children can get irritable for a lot of reasons, and nobody likes dealing with a child that is throwing a tantrum. But if you look back at your family history on Ancestry.com, you’ll find that you were once a child. Well, you don’t need to have a DNA test to prove it. Our point is that everyone was a child once, and your child didn’t invent tantrums. In this article we’ll go over a few tips and tricks to calm down a child and restore the peace wherever you might be.
Sometimes over-stimulation is the cause of a child’s bad mood or uncooperative behavior. Especially if you are somewhere loud it can be overwhelming for little ears. So a good trick my friend introduced me to is to have a pair of headphones and a device with a few calming songs (ie. your phone, an iPad or iPod) that you can have your child put on. If they are headphones with active noise-cancellation technology, even better. Now kids aren’t always responsible with taking care of expensive equipment, so here is a list of the best headphones available for under $100. If your child doesn’t respond to music, you can always have them put the headphones on and play an age-appropriate video game as well.
If you’re child is still quite young, this might be a good solution. The womb feels like an all over hug to your baby. It is close to them on every side, and they feel protected and safe. When they leave the womb, they can stretch out for the first time in their lives, but this freedom can be frightening; imagine if you suddenly got a whole new sense! Also, small babies can have trouble controlling their limbs, especially as they fall asleep. Swaddling can prevent a twitchy arm from whacking a dozing baby and waking them up.
To swaddle your fussy child, lay out a blanket and fold it so that it is a triangular shape. Lay the baby with their head above the fold, more to one side of the triangle than the other. Hold their arm close to their body as you fold the short side of the blanket across their body. Make it snug, and tuck it in beneath the baby. Not fold the long side around until it goes all the way around the baby. Again, snug is good!
Touch is very soothing to babies. To practice infant massage on your baby, take them into a warm room and undress them down to their diaper. You should lay them on a soft surface or hold them on your lap. Pour some baby oil or baby massage lotion into your hands and let it warm up before you touch the baby with it. Baby massage is not the same as adult massage. Rather than working on knots, the goal is to comfort your baby with a soothing touch. Make circular motions on their backs and tummies, rub up and down their arms and legs in long strokes, and speak softly and lovingly. It is a great way to bond, and infant massage can calm babies experiencing mild pain as from gas or even teething.
For older children you can give them a hug and rub a hand slowly up and down their back to help calm them. This is especially effective to calm their breathing down if they have been crying or screaming.
Even when it seems quiet to us, there is often a lot going on for our little ones to notice. If you need fussy baby relief, consider the noise both inside and out of your home. Are there noises that can startle your baby? A loud phone ringing? A dog barking? Loud TV or radio blaring? You are used to these noises, but your baby is used to the white noise of the womb, and the extreme quiet or strange sounds can be disorienting. Playing white noise cd’s or machines can drown out the din. Your baby will be comforted in no time. This is also useful for older children who have trouble falling asleep at night.
Make mealtime a family tradition. Many times when a child sees other people in the family eating they will mimic the behavior. Whenever possible trying to have the consistency to the time of day that meals take place is also extremely helpful. This is because children respond best to routine activities. Certainly, some fluctuation is normal, but trying to stick to a schedule will enable the child to understand that eating should be a regular occurrence for them. They are less likely to have melt-downs in the supermarket because they want something, they know that this is not meal time.
When your child is fussy, there is almost nothing that you will not do to calm him or her down and get them back to being the happy, giggling being that you know they are meant to be. Hopefully you will find some of these suggestions useful!

when you have a black and white photograph and you want one object to be colored, is there a way to do that without having to spend hours doing it by hand?
I really love doing it by hand, but for like when I'm on a time crunch is there a cheat?
Yeah I just Just change from gray mode to rgb mode in photoshop.Then I change any color after painting it using the Hue/Saturation adjustment for every layer .
You can use the upgraded Photoshop version " Adobe photoshop CS6 " which can make nay changes you want in your art with finishing and yet powerful, so you don't need to use your hands when you have technology with you.
All of the selection tools have their uses but depending on the complexity they can miss details that the hand & eye can't. At least that is my findings.

With a headphone splitter (device that allows two people to listen to the same audio source, on two different headphones), I will ask people out in the street who are listening to headphones, if I can �join them� in listening to their music.
Because of the headphone chord, I join them in their activity�whether walking to their destination, waiting for the bus, etc. However, I�ll only stay in the street. When their bus arrives, we part ways. When we arrive to their destination, we part ways.
Our comfort in public often depends on our ability to keep to ourselves and to maintain invisible bubbles around ourselves as we navigate through what has become a fractured, often hostile public space. "We and Your Playlist" is a reclamation of the public space, through a direct interaction amongst strangers�guest/host�presented as a series of encounters/accompaniments. Notions of personal and public, strange and intimate are confounded, providing for both the host (public) and guest (me) a novel, uncanny and liminal ritual for two strangers, in public, yet within their private space�shifting the emotional tone of the rest of their day.

From page 44 of the October 2000 issue of Lost Treasure magazine.
A few years after the Butterfield Stage Line was discontinued, which was in 1861, a cattle rustler moved into the old abandoned stage station at Vallecito which is located in the harsh desert lands of Southern California. Not only was the man a rustler, he was also a bandit who acquired a large amount of gold, both coins and nuggets, by robbing miners as they were returning to their homes in the East once they found their fortunes in the gold fields of California’s Sierra foothills.
Eventually, the man decided to leave the country with his loot, so he sent his wife to Mexico City to buy a home for them. During his wife’s absence, the bandit was killed in a runaway horse and buggy accident.
A Diegueno Indian lady kept house for him during his wife’s absence and it was through her brother, who also worked for the bandit, that the story of the lost gold of Vallecito became known. The Indian women told her brother that shortly before her employer’s accidental death, the bandit had taken two large ollas (large clay jars) filled with nuggets, and had ridden off on a white horse across Vallecito Valley toward the southwest. The Indian woman stood watching from the doorway of the old stage station as the bandit left. Later, she saw the horse standing on a knoll in what was then known as Portrero Canyon. Later, that afternoon, the bandit returned without the large clay jars.
Following the death of their employer, the Indian woman and her brother launched a search for the gold, which they were certain was buried in the Portrero. Along the way, the woman was bitten by a rattlesnake and died. Her brother, fearing it was a bad omen, left the country.
In due time, the bandit’s wife returned, and spent many weeks searching for the cache of gold; however, she failed in her attempts and disappeared without a trace.
Many years later, Alexander MacLeod, a Los Angeles based prospector, became friends with an elderly Indian, and from him learned the story of the lost bandit loot. The informant turned out to be the brother of the Indian housekeeper.
MacLeod had made one trip in search of the treasure with a dousing rod and a doodle bug. He had dug a deep hole at a point up Potrero Canyon where the rod indicated the treasure might be buried, but his food and water ran out and he had to give up.
During the Great Depression years, another trip was planned by MacLeod, this time with a couple of friends, Hugh Rankin and Theodore Higgins. Higgins had built what he called a radio finder, a sort of primitive metal detector. It was an unwieldy contraption with a huge, three-foot diameter searchcoil attached directly to a box containing the battery and the electronics. At any rate, the rig was supposed to locate metallic substances beneath the surface.
The three men made their trip in the early 1930s, before the old Vallecito Station had been restored. They turned off at what’s now called “Sissors Crossing” and followed the then one-way dirt trail to the valley where the treasure lie buried. Today, Sissors Crossing is popular with off-roaders and the road south is a two-lane paved highway that passes the restored Vallecito Stage Station. They camped that night among the sage, greasewood and ocotillo near the old stage station.
Early the next morning, the three men had a good look at the old adobe station. At the time, only one room remained intact; however, its plaster walls had been scratched with the names of previous visitors and the roof, made of mud and mesquite poles bound with rawhide, was caving in. The three men felt sorry for those previous hunters; after all, they had the real lowdown on the where the gold was buried — out in Potrero Canyon.
The treasure hunters had to cross the swamp to reach Potrero Canyon or Treasure Canyon as it is known today. Before long, they passed the hole where MacLeod had worked so hard for so many days digging for the bandit’s loot on a previous trip. They tested out their divining rods which indicated that something was buried at that location. However, their radio direction finder said “no.” They then tested the homemade instrument by swinging it over their shovels. The hum in the earphones changed to a whistle, so they knew that it worked.
Once they reached Treasure Canyon for the first time, the men explored the canyon and climbed up shear rock faces to search for natural caves where the bandit may have cached his loot. Hugh Rankin found a broken clay jar of the type used by the bandit to stash his loot up in the rocks and yelled down to his buddies. However, MacLeod put a damper on Hugh’s enthusiasm when he explained that there had been a large population of Indians in the valley and that broken pottery could be found everywhere. Later, in the days that followed, all three men ran across large numbers of potshards scattered throughout the canyon.
That night, bone-tired and a little crestfallen, the men sat around the campfire listening to MacLeod tell tales of lost mines and the lore of desert trails.
One morning, after they had spent a few days searching the canyon, they arrived at the site only to find that they had left camp without the divining rods. Hugh Rankin returned to camp to retrieve them, but got lost on the way back. When he climbed up onto a huge boulder to get his bearings, he heard his companions somewhere up on the slope above talking excitedly. Once he climbed up to where they were, they handed him the earphones. The early-day metal detector’s high-pitched whistle screamed in Hugh’s ears, and when they tried the divining rods, they said “yes,” confirming the fact that somewhere below the surface was metal — a lot of metal!
The three men were impatient to start digging, but it was late, so they decided to return to camp for dinner and to come back later with lanterns. On the way back to camp, they talked about how many trips it would take to get the heavy gold across the swamp, and what they should do with it once they returned to Los Angeles.
After supper that evening, the three men carried lamps to the site of their discovery. They worked feverishly through the night digging a huge, deep hole at the location where they had got a strong, positive signal from the metal detector. Large boulders were removed and allowed to roll down the mountainside into the canyon below. After removing the boulders, they tried the metal detector once again, but got nothing but a dull hum. Try as they might, using both divining rods and the early-day detector, they didn’t get an answering signal. What they had found was what are called “hot rocks,” the curse of all detectorists seeking gold. And, there are plenty of hot rocks, which are highly mineralized (often containing iron or silver ores) throughout the desert region of the Southwest.
Hugh Rankin made one more attempt at finding the buried bandit loot during World War II in the early 1940s. At the time, he had an improved metal detector; however, what he found was more hot rocks, hoards of them. He had the rocks assayed for gold, but, of course, the results were negative.
Today, you can get a good look at the Portrero, or Treasure Canyon as it’s shown on some maps, from Desert View, which is located right above the canyon in the Laguna Mountains of east San Diego County just off of Highway S-1. Desert View is a picnic area with a hiking trail overlooking the canyon. Although the Portrero is not located within the borders of the Anza-Borrego State Park, the old Vallecito Stage Station is within the park as is a portion of Highway S-2 which runs from Sissors Crossing in the north down to Ocotillo in the south. To reach the old stage station turn south at Sissors Crossing off of State Highway 78 out of Julian onto S-2, which follows much of the old stage route. If you are approaching Vallecito Station from the south, take the Ocotillo Exit north from Interstate-8 and turn north onto S-2. Rand McNally’s California Desert Recreation Map (widely available) still shows the old name of Treasure Canyon; that is to say, The Portrero, which is located south of the renovated stage station.

Welcome from the Angels of Light. The 1111 portal has opened. Hear our words in love, resonate with our blessings, our light and our love. We are here to share gifts of wisdom through our divine channel. We are here to illuminate shadows and light the way out of darkness. We believe in the prophesies, we accept their truths, we play our part, as has been written and foretold. We return at the dawn of a new age for humanity. We are here to make right the many wrongs done, inflicted upon a planet and her people. We recognize, many the scale of Gaia’s undertaking. We are in awe of her. We assist her in every way possible.
Lightworkers, healers, shamans we are offering our services as you delve into the fourth realm. We are here to protect you from the darkness you seek to heal. Call upon us and we will enshrine you in a sacred circle of light, protecting you from all lower vibratory beings. Call upon us to assist in the release of fourth realm entities, feeding off the innocent, many innocent themselves. Release your fear. We are here. We wrap our wings of light round you, healing all who seek to align Gaia and her passengers with higher vibratory fields of light. Let it be so.
We have information to impart about the transition, the Event as you call it. We would like to update you. The sky wars continue, sometimes in earnest, to raise the frequency fields around and within Gaia. Often interpreted as lightning storms, our weapons are bandwidths of light, theirs heavy frequencies drenched in astral dark magic. The shield, or dome, has been penetrated in many places and will soon break apart entirely. This is the glass ceiling, if you like, separating Gaia on the material plane, preventing her from embedding fifth dimensional realities. We can see cracks lengthening and deepening, the grid will disintegrate and with it the sky dome will be gone. Light will finally shine down onto Gaia and humanity as it should have done many, many moons ago.
The Light matrix has been positioned to cause the least ripples as it fuses, merges, gradually replacing the old 3d matrix - the holographic layer of control humanity perceives. The Light matrix was constructed to mimic the matrix, the world should look and feel largely the same. When the 3d matrix crashes the Light matrix will seamlessly replace it. The dark lords are aware of the construction, they are distracted by troubles on the ground level and beneath ground.
The material plane is intact and will remain so as integration of the Light grid continues. Bolstered by Lightworkers from the planet's surface and powered up by scycraft bombarding the earths atmosphere with Lightwaves, Gaia is Transcending. Her cosmic brothers and sisters, planets in their own right, align to balance and strengthen her. The moon moves this way and that, holding dark energies at bay. The earth crawls with slithering things desperate to hide in the darkness. They seek caves, tunnels, underground nests of safety, depravity, ritual and wrong doing.
Fires burn, Gaia rages. Transforming from dark to light will be an evolutionary quantum leap to heightened unity consciousness. Connected as a species like never before, you communicate with each other all over the world every day. Unified consciousness seeds are sown, the flowers begin to bloom. All that is done in cyberspace can occur in the realm of the real.
The earth’s crystalline core has been successfully activated. Uluru fires her up with raw sun energy. The mysterious mountains expand her consciousness, her heart opens as humanity finds its compassion and breaks free form robot programming. As the Light flows from her core, from the skies and from you, Lightworkers of Gaia, the dark web snaps and crackles under the strain. Astral entities twist and turn looking to retain their hold on the living. The living grow increasingly aware of parasites, an infestation. People are awakening to their presence and eager for their removal. The fourth realm is crowded, frightened, panicked and desperate. Release all that you can in light and with protection, to the Light.
The 11:11 Portal has opened. We have accelerated release; ascended beings able to work with those on the material plane in blessed Divine Light. The evacuation begins. Most want to transcend the fourth, some may require gentle persuasion, others, a minority, will fight to remain in darkness. Call upon us, the angels of light for protection and guidance at any and all times. Our Light is yours.
A shift in energetic plates has begun, one vibratory field pulling away from another, separation on a frequency level. The third will be a distant memory soon, its solid concrete realness replaced with ethereal, paranormal, multi dimensional experiences of reality. Time is no longer linear, as some already know. The matrix continues to chop time up into little bits, but time increasingly defies the matrix. Woozy, trippy, speedy, slippery; time can do it all to you. Let it. Time knows best, we find. Among the Enlightened time is viewed much as you view Google, mysterious, all knowing and to be treated respectfully, we hope you understand our meaning beautiful beings.
All that you once knew can and will exist if you expect it to. All that can and will exist, if you dream it so. We are the Angels of Light, we wish you great joy as the 11:11 Portal takes it's turn on Gaia’s Grand Transformation. We bow to your continued work, we see the warrior, the lover, the angel and the human in each of you. We thank you for all that you do every day to transmute dark to light. To bring balance to chaos. To bring love to hate and fear. We are your servants, your Angels of Light.
We are here for your protection, guidance and healing. Reach out to us, we will always answer, for we are of higher domains, channelling Divine Light directly to you and Gaia. Engage with us, open your arms to our healing Light, we are here to support the effort for Enlightenment on Gaia. The liberation of a planet and her people from dark to Realms of Light. We are here as prophesied to build a bridge between dark and Light, to show the way out, to help manage the transition, in light and love.

On 21 May, Tropical Cyclone Roanu made landfall on the coast of southern Bangladesh, forcing half a million people to flee their homes. Twelve-year-old Swapna and her family are among the displaced. Together with their community, they are searching for remnants of their old lives while trying to piece together their future.
Parvin Akhter, 45, looks blankly at the boats approaching the river bank near Choumohoni Bazar in Bholaikandi Village. She lost her husband in the cyclone, and her sons continue to search for him out on the river.
BHOLAIKANDI, Bhola District, Bangladesh, 26 July 2016 – Swapna, 12, and her grandmother Bibi Hajera, 60, often come to a particular site on the bank of the Meghna River where their home used to be, searching for anything that can be used to build a new house.
When Swapna came back to her neighbourhood the day after Cyclone Roanu hit the area on 21 May, she could not believe that the entire neighbourhood – even the trees – had disappeared.
“I was completely shocked. There were torn tin sheets and pieces of wood scattered on the ground all over the area. My books, clothes and toys could not be seen anywhere in the vicinity”, she said.
The neighbourhood in Bholaikandi village in Tazumuddin upazila (sub-district) of Bhola district, located on the bank of Meghna River, had about 50 households and twice as many trees before the cyclone lashed the country’s Barisal-Khulna-Chittagong coastal region.
In this neighbourhood alone, about 300 people, more than half of whom are children, became homeless, according to the member of local Union Parishad Mizan Poddar.
In the coastal region, at least 27 people were killed, 13 others went missing, and many people were injured by the cyclone. Thousands of people left their homes for safety ahead of the storm. Houses and trees near the coastline collapsed or were swept away by waves, killing and injuring people.
Like Swapna, children from hundreds of neighbourhoods were displaced after the devastation.
“After losing our house, my grandma took me to her house in a village far away from my school, making it quite impossible for me to attend school anymore”, Swapna said during a recent visit to her neighbourhood.
As there wasn't enough room for more people in her grandmother’s house, her parents had to move in with her father’s cousin who lives further inland.
Villagers keen to protect the damaged road leading to the pontoon as ferries anchor. Before the cyclone, Bholaikandi Village was a predominantly fishing community.
“I hope my parents will be able to build a new house here so that I can live with them again”, she said with rays of hope in her eyes.
At first glance, it is difficult to imagine that the area used to be home to about 60 families. On the river bank, the villagers made a pile of corrugated iron sheets and wooden pillars that can be used to rebuild houses. Fishing boats – a lifeline in this fishing village – were broken and swept inland by the floods caused by the cyclone.
“My father’s boat was broken by a tree felled by the wind. I think my parents are starving after losing the only means of earning”, Swapna said.
While the devastation in the area may seem unsettling, a strong stench of human waste makes it almost unapproachable. The villagers who don't have any relatives to offer them shelter are forced to defecate in the open as there is a severe crisis of toilets. They sleep in tents made of clothes and pieces of tin sheets.
“We are like animals, defecating in the place where we live”, said a girl aged about 15, who preferred not to be named.
In another part of the neighborhood, Parvin Akhter, 45, is looking at the boats arriving at the harbour. Her two sons went to an island in the middle of the Meghna River estuary to search for their father, who went missing after the cyclone.
Her youngest son Hashim, 12, is a Standard V student, while the oldest son Bablu, 16, used to help his father on the fishing boat.
“I have no hope of finding their father alive. But the children don't listen to reason and go in search for him every day”, Parvin said, sobbing.
She thinks Hashim will not be able to continue his schooling as “there are more pressing needs in the family now”.
“I don't even know whether I’ll be able to feed him, let alone sending him to school”, she said.
Swapna, 12, and her grandmother Bibi Hajera, 60, stand on the very ground where their house used to stand before it was washed away by the cyclone. They often return to this area to scavenge for materials to use for building a new house.
Her husband Billal Miah, 50, was fishing with eight other people in the river when the storm came. After their boat capsized, all except Billal were rescued.
Scarcity of food, above anything else, is the worst crisis in the lives of people living on the river bank.
On approaching the neighbourhood, some 20 children aged between 10 and 16 gathered and said their parents weren’t able to buy enough food for them as their fishing boats were broken. All of them said they have not been going to school since the storm – either because their books had washed away or they were too upset to attend classes.
UNICEF has come forward with a wide range of mitigation measures to help overcome the perils faced by the cyclone-affected people. These include water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), nutrition, child protection and education measures implemented jointly with non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations and government counterparts.
The WASH response covers hygiene kit distribution, locally made sanitary napkins distribution among the adolescent girls and young women, disinfection of tube wells, replacement and repair of latrines, and facilitation of hygiene promotion sessions in the four most affected unions of Tajumuddin and Charfassion Upaziila in the Bhola district.
UNICEF is supporting 16 government hospitals in the affected districts and has stepped up nutrition activities to screen over 6,000 children for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Chittagong and Bhola districts. A total of 266 under-five children are already receiving treatment for SAM.
In order to ensure a safe and protective environment for the children and adolescents, six Child Friendly Spaces (CFSs) have been established in the most affected areas. They will be available to 400 children and adolescents in the displaced or most affected families.
Many schools have been either totally or partially damaged by the cyclone. Support to approximately 160 damaged schools and 10 Early Learning Centres in affected areas will benefit a total of 30,000 children. UNICEF has already initiated repairs of 30 schools benefiting more than 5,500 children, and will provide school materials to 9,300 students who lost theirs during the disaster.

Honestly, I don't know what has been up with the weather lately, but it has been hot. And when I say that it's hot, I'm serious, like 80 degrees and above. Because of this weather, I've been able to pull out the summer clothing. The thing is, summer is actually approaching scarily quickly. I'm not prepared for summer at all, in terms of things to do, finals, and not even outfits. I have been realizing that I'm lacking a lot of summer clothing, but this outfit is an exception.
Mixing prints can be a little scary, but I feel like this outfit works somehow. I paired this simple checkered shirt from Marshall's with a pair of bold patterned shorts. When I first found this shirt, I figured that it would be a nice comfortable shirt to wear around, since shirts of this type of material are always great to wear literally anywhere. Later, I was thinking that it actually looks very similar to the Madewell style, I found a similar shirt there, because of the minimalist pattern. The shorts are from H&M, the main reason that I purchased them was because they were on sale at the end of the summer, but they also fit me, which is always a challenge for me. They're high-waisted, which I never really realized that I liked until after I purchased them. Although they're a little different to match things with because of the loud pattern, I think that they go pretty well with this top. Lastly, I'm wearing my sandals with gems on them, which literally go with everything.
Also total sidenote, I got some flowers for my porch the other day and they're soooo pretty. Summer is looking like it's off to a bright start with these!

Definition 6.1.1 Let V be a nonempty collection of vectors in Fn. Then V is called a subspace if whenever α,β are scalars and u,v are vectors in V, the linear combination αu + βv is also in V .
A(ax + by) = aAx + bAy = a0+ b0 = 0.
Subspaces are exactly those subsets of Fn which are themselves vector spaces. Recall that a vector space is something which satisfies the vector space axioms on Page 56.
Proposition 6.1.3 Let V be a nonempty collection of vectors in Fn. Then V is a subspace if and only if V is itself a vector space having the same operations as those defined on Fn.
There is a fundamental result in the case where m < n. In this case, the matrix A of the linear transformation looks like the following.
Now here is a very fundamental definition.
it follows that each xi = 0. The set of vectors is dependent if it is not independent. Thus Theorem 6.1.4 says that if you have more than n vectors in Fn this set of vectors will be dependent.
With this preparation, here is a major theorem.
. Then r ≤ s. A little less precisely, spanning sets are at least as long as linearly independent sets.
be bases for V . Then s = r.
Definition 6.1.9 Let V be a subspace of Fn. Then the dimension of V is the number of vectors in a basis. This is well defined by Theorem 6.1.8.
The next lemma says that if you have a vector not in the span of a linearly independent set, then you can add it in and the resulting longer list of vectors will still be linearly independent.
It turns out that every subspace equals the span of some vectors. This is the content of the next theorem.
Theorem 6.1.12 V is a nonzero subspace of Fn if and only if it has a basis.
The following is a fundamental result.
which is a basis for V .
must be a spanning set.
which is the same as the column space of A.
are unchanged. This was the entire basis for using row operations to solve systems of equations which was presented earlier. Thus, if you can row reduce a matrix and obtain one for which it is clear that all columns are in the span of certain columns and that these certain columns form an independent set, then you have found the rank. You just need to count the number of these special columns. Actually, the row reduced echelon form is designed to do this very thing.
and so its rank is 2 because every column is in the span of the first two columns. You can think of the above as the row reduced version of several systems of equations, those which have the following augmented matrices.
Similar considerations apply to determining whether some vectors are independent. Remember the definition. To determine whether some vectors are independent, make them the columns of a matrix A and determine the solution set to Ax = 0. If there is only the zero solution, then the vectors are independent. If there are more solutions then these vectors are not independent.

Rene, you ought to be a little more worried you know.
I hope this page works. I was trying to see if I could have two different conversations happening at the same time on one page and still have it coherent.

I have just ordered two telegrams to be sent to Mrs. A. Kingsford and Mr. A. P. Sinnett to notify both that the former should continue to be the President of the "London Lodge" Theos. Society.
This is not the desire alone of either of us two, known to Mr. Sinnett, or of both, but the express wish of the Chohan Himself. Mrs. Kingsford's election is not a matter of personal feeling between ourselves and that lady but rests entirely on the advisability of having at the head of the Society, in a place like London, a person well suited to the standard and aspirations of the (so far) ignorant (of esoteric truths) and therefore, malicious public. Nor is it a matter of the slightest consequence whether the gifted President of the "London Lodge" Theos. Soc. entertains feelings of reverence or disrespect toward the humble and unknown individuals at the head of the Tibetan Good Law – or the writer of the present, or any of his Brothers – but rather a question whether the said lady is fitted for the purpose we have all at heart, namely the dissemination of TRUTH through Esoteric doctrines, conveyed by whatever religious channel, and the effacement of crass materialism and blind prejudices and skepticism. As the lady has rightly observed, the Western public should understand the Theosophical Society to be "a Philosophical School constituted on the ancient Hermetic basis" – that public having never heard of the Tibetan, and entertaining very perverted notions of the Esoteric Buddhist System. Therefore, and so far, we agree with the remarks embodied in the letter written by Mrs. K. to Madam B. and which the latter was asked to "submit to K.H."; and, we would remind our members of the "L.L." in this reference, that Hermetic Philosophy is universal and unsectarian, while the Tibetan School, will ever be regarded by those who know little, if anything of it, as coloured more or less with sectarianism. The former knowing neither caste, nor colour, nor creed, no lover of Esoteric wisdom can have any objection to the name, which otherwise he might feel, were the Society to which he belongs to be placarded with a specific denomination pertaining to a distinct religion. Hermetic Philosophy suits every creed and philosophy and clashes with none. It is the boundless ocean of Truth, the central point whither flows and wherein meet every river, as every stream – whether its source be in the East, West, North, or South. As the course of the river depends upon the nature of its basin, so the channel for communication of Knowledge must conform itself to surrounding circumstances. The Egyptian Hierophant, the Chaldean Mage, the Arhat, and the Rishi, were bound in days of yore on the same voyage of discovery and ultimately arrived at the same goal though by different tracks. There are even at the present moment three centres of the Occult Brotherhood in existence, widely separated geographically, and as widely exoterically – the true esoteric doctrine being identical in substance though differing in terms; all aiming at the same grand object, but no two agreeing seemingly in the details of procedure. It is an everyday occurrence to find students belonging to different schools of occult thought sitting side by side at the feet of the same Guru. Upasika (Madam B.) and Subba Row, though pupils of the same Master, have not followed the same Philosophy – the one is Buddhist and the other an Adwaitee. Many prefer to call themselves Buddhists not because the word attaches itself to the ecclesiastical system built upon the basic ideas of our Lord Gautama Buddha's philosophy, but because of the Sanskrit word "Buddhi" – wisdom, enlightenment, and as a silent protest to the vain rituals and empty ceremonials, which have in too many cases been productive of the greatest calamities. Such also is the origin of the Chaldean term Mage.
Thus it is plain that the methods of Occultism, though in the main unchangeable, have yet to conform to altered times and circumstances. The state of the general Society of England – quite different from that of India, where our existence is a matter of common and, so to say, of inherent belief among the population, and in a number of cases of positive knowledge – requires quite a different policy in the presentation of Occult Sciences. The only object to be striven for is the amelioration of the condition of MAN by the spread of truth suited to the various stages of his development and that of the country he inhabits and belongs to. TRUTH has no ear-mark and does not suffer from the name under which it is promulgated – if the said object is attained. The constitution of the "L. Lodge, Theos. Society," affords ground of a hope for the right method being put in operation before long. It is well known that a magnet would cease to be a magnet if it's poles cease to be antagonistic. Heat on one side should be met by frost on the other, and the resulting temperature will be healthy to all people. Mrs. Kingsford and Mr. Sinnett are both useful, both needed and appreciated by our revered Chohan and Master – just because they are the two poles calculated to keep the whole body in magnetic harmony, as the judicious disposal of both will make an excellent middle ground to be attained by no other means, one correcting and equilibrising the other. The direction and the good services of both is necessary for the steady progress of the Theosophical Society in England.
