Falling into a category of ‘seriously purposeful hatchbacks’, the most recent Sport version of the popular Suzuki Swift led Iain Robertson into a wish to delve into its greater depths, beyond mere junior league hot-hatch territory, where it delivers well.
Mixing metaphors is a dangerous literary game. Mixing car types, while not dangerous, could be injurious. There was a time, in Suzuki’s past, when the GTi badge was flown with immense pride…well, as much as pride as Suzuki can muster. To the vast majority of critics, commentators and scribes that have driven the current Suzuki Swift Sport, it should be wearing a ‘GTi’ badge. Yet, those three letters also instil a sense of hooliganistic derring-do, whether stated blatantly, or merely inferred by vain hope.
Call me sinner, or call me saint, give me a car with sporting aspirations and I not only want but need to exploit its potential. The beauty of the Swift Sport is that it complies. Despite its prior to discounting £18k list price, which may be either bargain, or premium, dependent on the size of your wallet and financial preconceptions, what it delivers verges on priceless.
Frequently abusing the English language, with Suzuki, I find that I even over-use the descript ‘giant-killing’. However, whether it be Jack and his beans, or Suzuki and its grunt, there is hardly a more apposite adjective. From the comfort of its supportive driver’s perch, surrounded by tasteful hints of gradated red trim, stitching and dash-panel, this wee car blitzes a 0-60mph dash in a willingly repeatable sub-8.0s and, given its head on a Teutonic motorway, it will touch the hem of the 140mph classic GTi breed no bother, with a bit to spare.
Yet, with this test story, I wanted to avoid the inner boy-racer. I needed to play ‘blue-rinser’, because that market segment is the only one capable of tapping into its resources, with any surety. It is a narrow market. From mid-50s to mid-60s. These ‘not-dead-yet’ customers are home ground for Suzuki, a brand which is never going to harbour mass-market appeal…unless, like Jimny, it performs the automotive equivalent of ‘going viral’. It is also the segment that knows GTi better than any and is happy to accept the Sport tag, especially if it does not attract the avaricious interest of the insurers the way GTi would.
Avoiding the bamboozlement of metric measurements, the boot is deep and accommodating, capable of mustering space for up to eight loaded, reusable supermarket bags for the once-a-month ‘big’ shop, while three to four regular shopping treks are easy meat. With the soft-edged fob in pocket, touching a rubber teat unlocks the boot (or provides access to the interior) painlessly, which is great when the arthritis is being fended off. If extra luggage room is required, both back seats just flop onto the rear squabs to almost treble the space, with the added benefit of side door access, because this tiny Sport also features a five-door body, which is useful, when you have been conned into catering for the grandchildren too.
Whether footling around the local lanes, or tackling main road mayhem, the reassuringly firm ride quality and responsive feedback from all controls provide everything that a proper driver needs to engage with the car. Very few of us every manages to breach the main road legal limits these days, mostly because of irritatingly high traffic density but the Sport can make any drive an event and events are intentionally fun. Yet, working with the conditions, doing the A and B-road thing, I managed to attain an outstanding 54.3mpg, without delving into super-frugal driving tactics.
It helps, of course, that the 1.4-litre, 140bhp, turbo-petrol engine is not just one of the most efficient car engines in the world but is also in that upper echelon of ultimate engines. It gives hints of sportiness without overt bad manners. There are no extraneous noises. No BMW Mini phoney pops and bangs. Just solid, dependable urge, at any point in the rev-range. Miss-gear it and it will tolerate sub-1,000rpm pull-aways, without complaint. Leggy intermediate ratios make for effortless overtakes.
However, the Swift Sport’s force majeure lies in its copious cabin space, convenient practicality and easy accessibility, factors belied by its compact exterior dimensions. There is good headroom for Trilby-wearers and madame’s ‘fascinator’, when attending a garden party, or family event, and it can accommodate comfortably all six feet six inches of me, complete with size 14 deck shoes.
Consider its ease of parking, lower costs of ferry travel and a Group 35 insurance rating and 125g/km CO2 rating, which equates to an annual road tax bill of £140 (£165 in year one), and you begin to appreciate that motoring life can still be immense fun and not cost an arm and a leg. To be frank, I like Suzuki’s approach. The company is not a ‘budget brand’ but it does provide exceptional value for money. Its products are supremely well-engineered and they even retain sensible trade-in values. If size and status are not the precursors for new car acquisition, Suzuki seems to fit the bill and Swift Sport elevates the equation.
Light but sturdy, fast but frugal, the Suzuki Swift Sport is hardly an ‘everyman’ car but it is far more worthy of contemplation than many potential new car buyers might believe.

Modern-day promotion is continually pounding us with advertisements about how and where to consume. Or what we should always be taking in. Popular sense tells us that a a great deal of this “food” is harmful but it really taste so great you cannot resist. What’s guaranteed to sooner or later materialize is actually a downward spiral of the physical overall health if you’re not willing to adjust your diet program weight loss.
As scientific investigate find out what food items encourage a powerful and vibrant system, it really is becoming distinct that a lot of of ailments that are connected to aging are the result of a inadequate diet program. Taking in a diet regime higher in raw veggies and fruit would decreased the chance of nearly all of these diseases but are neglected as refined sugar and starches would be the favorite food of westerners. A diet program abundant with raw food day-to-day will detox one’s body and began to normalize your system excessive fat ranges. By shelling out a lot less electrical power on digestion, your entire body can detox thoroughly and devote time fixing weakened cells.
Quite possibly the most vital of the anti growing older meals are the types that are superior in anti-oxidants. Cost-free radicals are harming to our bodies always being made on account of fat burning capacity, so anti-oxidants are required to clear away the free radicals with the overall body before the particles can destruction physique cells. It is best to consume as considerably uncooked vegetation as is possible, specifically uncooked fruits, veggies, and total grains contain antioxidants. Taking in raw nuts will introduce unheated vegetable oil to your human body, which provides lots of enzymes and anti-oxidants.
Taking in 100% entire grains ought to be your emphasis as the human body converts the sugar in these carbohydrate sources in a gradual charge. The fiber from these grains will help you to promptly wipe out hazardous waste from your body plus the grains by themselves are filled with anti-oxidants a great deal wanted with the system. This is the sort of diet program consumed by our historic ancestors, who stayed youthful and tricky operating into their senior yrs. Health foodstuff authorities have claimed for decades in regards to the advantages of a diet regime higher in full grains and the evidence is now mind-boggling. Entire grains will be the ideal solution to get your every day provide of advanced carbohydrates gluten.
Proteins need to come from beans, nuts, and seafood. Nutritious fats include olive oil and, to the lesser extent, other vegetable oils. Attempt to prevent body fat from land animals. I personally endorse a food plan of 50-70% raw foods, only to give you a approach to healthy a number of your favorite food items into your new way of living. The majority of people come to delight in taking in these wholesome foods. And they’re able to get pleasure from excellent health and fitness for a longer period into their senior decades. An anti aging diet program would actually go a protracted way toward sensation the best way someone ought to because they age.

Written for Aart Strootman and the Danish National Chamber Orchestra under conductor Henrik Vagn Christensen.
Published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen, Music Sales Classical.
The world premiere for Juliana Hodkinson’s brand new concerto for electric guitar, CAN MODIFY COMPLETELY / IN THIS CASE / NOT THAT IT WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE ... took place on November 27th 2015, and marked the presentation of the biannual Carl Nielsen og Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen honorary prize. In 2016, Westdeutscher Rundfunk commissioned an extension to the work, which was first performed in the new version at Wittener Tage für Neue Kammermusik, with Aart Strootman and the WDR Symphony Orchestra under Emilio Pomàrico on 24th April 2016.
As in much of Juliana Hodkinson’s music, the piece explores the traditional limits of music: everything, including the electric guitar, is being constantly modified. ”The strings of the solo electric guitar are re-rigged and massively detuned and re-tuned, to achieve an extremely noisy and low bass register, as well as to create meandering microtonal bends and slides. The music, and even the instruments, are under modification the whole time”, the composer writes. Embedded in the score are news headlines from the months when the composer was working on the piece, sonified in the music according to Morse code or converted through other compositional devices. These initiatives “attempt to create a relation between current events, their representations in media and communications, and the material aspects of a musical work”, or rather assumes such relations while acknowledging that they are hard to discern. The title comes from Hodkinson & Troup’s chamber opera, TURBULENCE, where the words are spoken by a pilot at the end of the opera.
CAN MODIFY COMPLETELY / IN THIS CASE / NOT THAT IT WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE ... has been broadcast on Danmarks Radio P2, BBC Radio 3, Swiss SRF 2 Kultur, DeutschlandRadio Kultur, WDR3 and Icelandic Rás 1.

After some “pop-poots” in the car on the way home, Tami lets the people know while she does have to go to the bathroom and it was she that smelt it, she wasn’t the one that dealt it. Hazel asks what would Tami do if they were on the boat and she had to the go the bathroom and a whole conversation about potty politics unravels in the car from how to cover smells to preferred locations and surrounding. While the culprit is never identified, the ladies do have a cute kiki and yet again prove that there is no such thing as TMI in their friendships.

Facebook video’s popularity has skyrocketed in the past year. With Facebook’s updated algorithm, video has been performing really well and brands have been quick to jump onboard with this new trend, creating numerous videos to share with their followers.
If you haven’t created a video to share with your Facebook followers yet… what’s stopping you? Facebook videos receive more reach than any other piece of content shared on the platform, including images.
If you aren’t all that into the idea of creating, editing and uploading a video for your followers, hop on Facebook Live! With the popularity of expiring content, more and more users are logging online when brands choose to go live for real time live chats. Facebook live video is viewed three times more than a pre-recorded video, so at least consider utilizing Facebook Live if you don’t want to go through the length process of creating a video for your followers.
After you’ve posted your video online, you have to be able to track it in order to monitor its’ success. We’ve broken down some of the top Facebook video analytics and how they work so that you can create and track Facebook videos with ease.
Facebook does a really good job of letting you know how long your audience is watching your video. They break down views from three seconds, ten seconds and full video views. This is really important for video creators because it can help you interpret how engaging your video is and where your audience tends to drop off.
All of these insights are important because it can tell you how engaging your video is from start to finish. If you’re seeing a large amount of your audience watching the full video, that is most likely a good sign that you have created a relevant video for your followers from start to finish. If you are seeing an overwhelming amount of your audience drop off before three seconds, make sure you tweak your future video content.
Positive engagement is extremely important when it comes to video engagement on Facebook. Typically only nine percent of your audience will be able to see your video and engage with it. This means that if you have 100 followers, only nine people will be able to view your video.
Positive engagement happens when people like, react, share or comment on your video. If you have a high positive engagement rate than the possibility of being able to reach more people for your current and future videos is likely. If you find that you are getting a lot of negative engagement, or none at all, it will compromise the reach of your video. Monitoring your video engagement is extremely important because of how it affects your reach. Be sure to keep track of how your video is doing and take notes on what to change or keep the same for your next video.
Let’s be honest, if you are sharing a three to five minute video on Facebook to promote your brand, your engagement rates are probably suffering. A video created for Facebook should be 20 to 90 seconds in order to reach peak engagement. If you create a longer video and see an overwhelming amount of people only watching about half of the video, that should give you insights into where to cut down your future creations.
Keep track of where you’re seeing the highest engagement in your video and take note of what kind of content is featured in those areas. This can also help you create a video that is both the perfect length and the best content for your audience.
Make sure you track whether or not your audience is viewing your video with, or without sound. Chances are, a lot of your followers are scrolling through their newsfeeds and not turning on their sound to watch your video. In order to keep a high engagement rate with the users who are listening without sound, make sure that you incorporate subtitles. Subtitles will help grab your followers’ attention and let them watch the video without volume. This can be extremely important to future video creation. If you see a spike in silent watching, you definitely need to incorporate subtitles or create a text heavy video.
If you are creating videos for Facebook, let alone any social media platform, you should be tracking analytics for it. Analytics can help you, not only improve future videos, but help you become more savvy in creating and sharing your videos.

"I have no use for the current state of the wrestling business".
I hate to apply gimmick infringement but that one line echos my feelings about the wrestling industry, or at least parts of it. Moondog Manson came up with the line.

The pregnancy hormone diet was proposed by a British physician in 1954; he claimed that the human chorionic gonadotropin produced by women during pregnancy could help people lose weight because it is responsible with turning fat into calories and increasing the metabolism speed.
A crash diet is a desperate measure that a lot of women use in order to lose weight quickly. Due to the fact that society imposes certain standards of beauty, women will try any diet that promises miracle results. If you are planning on starting such a diet you should know a few things about how it works, how efficient it is and how it will affect your body.
The morning banana diet is highly popular amongst the Japanese people. The diet is based on the nutritive properties of the banana and it can easily turn into a lifestyle as it does not involve any culinary sacrifices. However, the diet’s rules are not very restrictive which is why it shouldn’t be followed by people who have unhealthy eating habits.
Should Cancer Patients Follow a Macrobiotic Diet?
Medical health professionals do not consider the macrobiotic diet as a cure for cancer because there is no evidence to support this. Although a carefully planned macrobiotic diet is a healthful way of eating, relying on this type of treatment alone, delaying or avoiding medical treatment can have serious consequences on cancer patients.
The grapefruit diet has always been controversial because there are still people who use it from time to time and who believe in it, although it is so drastic and unbalanced; placing emphasis on meat and grapefruit consumption will definitely stress the digestive system.
The Mediterranean diet, although it was first introduced to the people in 1945, only started to gain popularity during the 1990s, when medical studies began to show that the combination of foods could lead to decreased risks of coronary heart disease.

Do you have any amazing or funny home videos? Or are you an amateur video producer or an independent film maker? What if I tell you that you can earn from your videos by uploading and sharing them online? You’d be interested, right? Then read on and find out how you can get paid and earn money from your video creations.
Aside from submitting your tapes to Funniest Home Videos and hoping that you’ll win, you can be proactive and initiate income generation by creating an account in video distribution channels online. These websites share their revenues from advertisers to the video content creators. Depending on the website, producers usually get paid based from the number of views and ad clicks from the audience.
It amuses and entertains quickly.
It holds attention and provokes thought.
It teaches interesting and useful ideas.
Remember to render you digital videos with good resolution because internet streaming will reduce its clarity. Add some sound effects and background music to enhance the viewer’s experience. Video editting and special effects are optional and will largely depend on the type of your content.
As content creator, this website will split its advertising revenue 50/50 with you. Likewise, you can distribute someone else’s content and earn 20% of the total revenue from that video.
They will pay you $5 for every thousand views of your video on their site. Unfortunately payment starts only after your video reaches 20,000 views and earns a rating of 3.00 or higher. However, Metacafe will help market your content while you retain ownership on your videos.
Monetizing is done through Google AdSense for video. It is currently available to U.S. publishers with English language sites who serve at least one million video streams a month. But don’t worry, Google plans to expand the program to more publishers of various sizes and locations in the future.
So how much can you potentially earn?
I’ve read reviews and ratings of these websites and they say that you can earn as much as $2 per click on Google Adsense powered video sharing websites.
So what are you waiting for? Get those video cameras rolling.
By the way, if you’re a photographer and you’re wondering if you can likewise earn from selling your photos online, then check out my other article entitled, Earn By Selling Photos Online. And if you want to learn more genuine income opportunities, then subscribe to Ready To Be Rich.

There are many ways to make money from your videos, as there are a lot of video sharing sites out there, each not-so-big player trying to get new fresh content to beat up the number one (well, Youtube), and even that one is going on the route of sharing the revenues. For example, you can embed your video with Revver (which will add an ad to it), and then post it on another video sharing site that will share its revenues with you. That way, you get two times more revenues from the same video! I’ve compiled a list of programs that pay you for that on my site so you can get a better idea of what I’m talking about (btw, I’m not affiliated with any of them).
Hey Fitz thanks for visiting my blog. I left a comment on the site for you. BTW, I faved your blog on Technorati. Keep up the excellent work here at the site. I’m always looking for tips concerning money.
Thanks for sharing your site. I’m sure they will help those who are interested in making money through videos.
This is something I need to consider, earning online through videos huh..
anyway fitz, I included you on my top 10 emerging influential blogs.. your posts are really enticing to your readers.. Keep it up!
Yes, more income streams = more money. 😀 Thanks for including me in your list!
Hi fitz this is a nice post!.. i’ll try metacafe.
These are very good information. I hope I could do my own videos in the near future. Care to exchange links?
No problem Jehz, have fun producing those videos.
Nice advice, I liked all the tips while i was reading your website I sent already an application to john Clements to be a mystery shopper, like you i want to have more time with my family, It a good thing you sent me an e-mail. hope you can give more money making tips and website.
Can I just ask, how many days did it take for you to have 200 views?

Has it finally occurred to Her Majesty? And to us?
The exposure of so many political figures as immoral, dishonest and possibly even criminal has reportedly dismayed Her Majesty.
Has it finally occurred to Her Majesty that there is a reason why the Royal Assent should not be given automatically to Parliament's bills? Does a Parliament of wastrels who have sold out our country deserve Her Majesty's automatic and obedient assent?
We have argued that our Sovereign's right to refuse to give assent to unconstitutional or corrupt bills is one of the protections of the British Constitution. The right to refuse assent issues out of the Sovereign's covenant with her people to defend their laws and liberties - even from their disgraceful MPs.
Now, about us. Don't you feel it is time we overhauled the way MPs are selected and elected and compensated?
If sovereignty in a modern nation is in the hands of the people, then we need a completely new system at Westminster, with two elected houses including an elected chamber of 100 Representatives - not affliated to any political party - to oversee the Commons.
The Monarch should be given real written powers to protect the constitutionality of Parliament's decisions &, where there is no agreement between the two elected Houses, & or the monarch considers an act unconstitional, he/she may institute a referedumn for a 66% mandatory judgement of the public.

Last September 2nd, Dressel Divers’ environmental project, Go Green, took 350 lb / 159 kg of marine trash out of Jamaican sea waters. This was possible thanks to the volunteer help of customers and employees. Well Done!
On the 2nd of September 2018, early in the morning, the whole Dressel Divers Jamaica team, together with a very excited group of certified divers, got together for an ocean floor clean-up activity.
After highlighting the objectives, giving a thorough briefing, and making sure everyone had bags to keep what we would find, we set out to collect as much debris as possible from the ocean floor.
After 68 minutes, and a lot of hard work from everyone involved, we were able to take up 350 lb / 159 kg of debris from the ocean, composed of plastic, glass, old fishing lines, wood from old fish pots, chicken wire, and even a brick!
We want to thank PADI for all the support and the biodegradable bags they kindly sent us, the divers that came to help us for their hard work and time, and the Iberostar Rose Hall for their help raising awareness and keeping our ocean cleaner!
In accordance with Go Green’s Manifesto Against Plastic in the Ocean this action took place within the framework of the Go Green “Detox the Ocean, Detox Your Legacy” campaign. By means of this campaign, Dressel Divers pretends to take action against plastic garbage which pollutes our oceans.
“Detox the Ocean, Detox Your Legacy” is much more than a great slogan, it is a concrete plan to help our nature based on 5 basic principles.
To assume responsibilities and start the change.
Go Green is proud of people like you. Thank you for helping us to leave a better world for future generations.

I like reading and I always read books about languages. Teach Yourself book is my favorite. Fortunately, I live near Ming Chuan University, where I graduated from. It has one floor full of English books, and there are many language books. I applied for the library card because I don't want to miss this opportunity. Where else you can borrow language books in English in Taiwan?
There are many downloadable PDFs and to be honest, it is really convenient to read them. I have a lot of PDFs in my iPod that I always read while commuting — in the train, subway, etc. However, using electronic products for a long time affects your health negatively, and I don't feel attached to the book that I read digitally. I can forget easily which the last page I read, and be distracted to read other books because everything can be done as easily as tapping the iPod screen.
Because of this reason, I still prefer a printed book over an electronic book. I feel committed to finishing reading the book, especially when there is a deadline for returning it. I prefer borrowing than buying books because most of the time, I read it only once unless it has really interesting and important information but this happens rarely.

In this post we’ll cover solving a system of linear equations using Swift and Accelerate. It get’s a little bit hairy, but it’s not so bad once you get the hang of it.
We’ll need to perform an LU factorization as before. Then we’ll solve the system of linear equations using the dgetrs_() function from the Accelerate framework, along with the documentation at netlib.org.
To make matters interesting, the first argument of the dgetrs_() function is a letter telling the function whether your matrix should be interpreted as column-major, as in Fortran, or whether it should be interpreted as row-major, as in C and every other language. If you want column major, use “N”, otherwise for row-major, use “T”. This gets interesting because the C code expects a UInt8 pointer or something, and a Swift string just isn’t going to cut it. To make C and Swift play nicely, we had to do some weird stuff on line 20 that I’m not wholly comfortable with yet, but it worked.

I saw a segment on the news this morning about personalizing work space. There was some study done somewhere (please excuse my lack of specifics), that said no more than 20% of the items on your desk should be personal items (photos, flowers, toys, etc.). There have even been offices that have taken measures to streamline the desks of their employees because they said too many personal items appear unprofessional. Personally, I agree. I look around my office and see desks with stuffed animals and toys from kids meals and stuff and it just looks trashy.
Anyhow, it’s kind of funny that they mention that story on the news because I have been thinking about my work space at home a lot lately.
The second room in our little house is supposed to be an office. It has a desk, a bookcase, and the necessary computer stuff. We’ve also minimized the amount of non-office related stuff that we put in there. That category consists of a bench and a cat tree.
Yet, everytime I’ve tried to write or do work in that office, it just doesn’t feel right to me. It lacks that feeling that I’ve had in every other work space I’ve developed (like in dorm rooms or offices). I still haven’t figured out what it is, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot.
If my computer is configured and customized the way I want, I feel pretty much at home. Aside from that, I have a framed photo of Evan and I, and that’s it. I like a clean look.
Yeah, I’m the guys they’re talking about with all of the stuff. I have Trotsky, the plastic glow-in-the-dark skull, a little yoda, a snoopy on a little doghouse, three juggling goslings, and more. But most of that is also on a shelf in my cubicle, with a few items on top of my computer monitors (no flat-screens for me). So none of it gets in my way while im working.


text: Harajiri Falls are waterfalls located in southern Oita Prefecture and are named on Japan’s top 100 waterfalls. The falls are nicknamed the Oriental Niagara due to the similarities in shape. "Hatarajiri Falls" flowing through Bungoo Ono City in Oita Prefecture is a famous waterfall which is also selected as top Japanese waterfalls. It is a rare waterfall suddenly appearing in the countryside, 120 meters wide and 20 meters high. It is famous for its unique appearence and called "Oriental Niagara" .Falls are high and were formed as part of an eruption of Mt. Aso 90,000 years ago. There is a suspension bridge above the falls and also a pathway down below giving you different ways to experience the falling water.The land suddenly fell down with Ston and the water fell dramatically in such a way as to draw a semi-circular arc there was like the Niagara Falls of the main house.

The rapper played Queen Bey in a sketch called Jingle Ballerz, which portrayed Beyonce as the Virgin Mary in a hip-hop nativity.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp is a truly extraordinary experience. The scenery, the people you’ll meet, the climb and the overall sense of achievement at the end all add up to make it unforgettable. It is a big deal, and it’s something you’ll likely be preparing for months in advance. So, to help you on that preparation journey, we’ve pulled together a guide on what to pack for going to Everest Base Camp.
Jackets – warm down jacket, a lightweight jacket and a light hoodie or fleece to use as an extra layer are all essentials.
Trousers – you’ll have your own style of trouser that you use as you are already likely to be a regular walker / hiker. We find technical hiking trousers work well as they can deal with moisture and be lightweight at the same time. Sometimes close fitting fitness / running tights work well too.
Shirts – bring along short sleeve and long sleeve options. Merino wool is good for reducing odour, and always try to avoid cotton for the same reason. You could use technical (non cotton) t-shirts that are also designed to deal with moisture from the body.
Hiking socks – invest in some made from merino wool as they are known to reduce odour and you can use them again and again. You can bring some of varying weight to give yourself options.
Gaiters – these will protect you and your boots from rain or muck.
Underwear – light and long underwear for the trek is ideal. Sports bras are the best option, also. Keep extra underwear separate for wearing in the evening and perhaps some for bed also. It’s good to change from your hiking gear in the evening and into something clean (or relatively clean).
Waterproof layers – waterproof jacket and trousers are also essential. It’s best to bring some that can go over your trousers / other jacket or top. Also, make sure they are windproof too.
Gloves and Hats – waterproof and warm gloves and hats are important. Perhaps having two versions as you’ll use lightweight ones on the earlier part of the trek and warmer, heavier ones later on. A balaclava is a good option for the highest parts of the trek when it will be much colder.
Neck Gaiter or headband – these are ideal to keep you warm further up but also for keeping dust out of your mouth on the lower parts of the trek.
You should break in your hiking boots months in advance. If you already have a good pair that you trust then use them, but make sure there are no issues that will arise when you’re on your trek. What you need is something that gives you stability, are lightweight but still offer good protection and above all are comfortable. If you are buying new, visit a specialist shop to try some options on and receive advice from the staff there. Work hard to break them in before you leave.
Bring a water bottle like a camelpak bottle. You will need to stay hydrated all throughout the trek so this is an essential item. Some trekkers take the hydration sacks with them too to save them having to go into their backpack to get the water bottle. You’ll also need trekking poles and a four-season down sleeping bag and liner.The backpack needs to be big enough to carry your kit, but should also be relevant to your own height and build. You may want to bring a small daysack if you are using a porter to carry your other bag. Make sure you use polarized sunglasses and sunscreen, also.
Trekking our way to Everest base camp.
You’ll want clean and non-hiking clothes to wear at night and in your bed. Bring along some long thermal underwear – perhaps again made from merino wool, as well as warm socks for the evenings in bed. In the evenings, many people find it good to wear a long sleeved crew neck shirt and a further layer like a fleece or hoody along with fitness style trousers and trainers.
Ama Dablam from the base camp trail – getting colder as we climb. So warm layers are important!
Bring cash to buy snacks, food and drinks or any shopping you want to do at the start. (There are some options to buy some kit here en-route). Cash is also good for tipping porters if you are using one. You’ll also need your passport for registration, your visa and some passport-sized photographs for your trekking permits.
Make space in your bag for these essentials: toilet paper (which can also be purchased en-route), wipes, dry shower wipes, ibuprofen, paracetamol, rehydration sachets, plasters, blister plasters, general travel first aid kit, talc, hand sanitizer, travel shampoo, suncream, lipbalm or chapstick, sport / athletic tape and a little travel wash (for your undies!). Also, bring along medication that can prevent altitude sickness / acute mountain sickness – perhaps speak to your doctor about the best options for you before you leave.
Your camera and equipment plus extra memory cards and a hard drive to back up your pictures are essential. You will see some awesome sights that you will definitely want to capture. Bring along portable battery kits to keep your electronics charged, as electricity is not always free or available. Solar powered battery packs are also a good idea. Many bring along a their phones and headphones for use in the evening and also a tablet – for reading books or games etc. in the evenings. Drybags are essential to protect your electronic kit from moisture. Headlamps are also a handy and lightweight extra that comes in handy in the night.
These are the beautiful kind of sights you’ll want to capture with you camera.
All that’s left is to bring your senses, too. A walk to Everest Base Camp will stimulate you on every level!

Here is some information the Master of Arts in Public Policy & Administration (MPPA) degree program at Northwestern University’s School of Continuing Studies.
As part of Govpro’s series on master’s degree programs and their value to government administrators, here is some information the Master of Arts in Public Policy & Administration (MPPA) degree program at Chicago-based Northwestern University’s School of Continuing Studies.
The MPPA program is designed for current and aspiring leaders in fields like health care, monetary policy and municipal government who are motivated to apply systemic thinking and pragmatic solutions to shape policies that deliver positive impact. Students can pursue the program in a fully online format and through evening courses on Northwestern’s Chicago campus.
Northwestern’s part-time MPPA degree program aims to provide students with the administrative and analytical competence, as well as leadership skills and theoretical background, to rise in the field and drive change at the local, national and international levels. The program encompasses specialized areas, including public administration, public policy, global policy, and health services policy. The school’s courses are guided by the fact that policy challenges are fluid, interconnected and global. The program works to give students an understanding of this complexity and learn to think across diverse groups and boundaries.
Here are the views of Bill Lester, Faculty Director for the MPPA program.
Govpro: What are some features of Northwestern’s MPPA offering?
Bill Lester: The MPPA degree provides more coverage of the policy and administrative environment and how they do interact. Also, we offer specializations that allow more focused studies: public policy, public administration, global policy, and health services policy (on-campus). Our program offers unique opportunities that combine world-class expertise in faculty, top students, and a flexible learning environment.
Govpro: Is 2013 a good time to earn an MPA for government administrators and others?
BL: We live in an increasingly networked and collaborative world. Higher education helps us all to stay connected to new and productive thinking. While this applies to everyone, government administrators have unique challenges that are addressed in a MPPA program like ours. Those who continue to learn will be the best administrators.
Govpro: Does Northwestern have any advice for Govpro visitors on choosing the right graduate degree program?
BL: There are certainly many very good programs around. The MPPA program at Northwestern University is certainly one of those programs. It is important to find well qualified and respected faculty who combine both theory and practice in the classroom. A solid track record of accomplishment from graduates is also an important indicator. It is also important to match program offerings with the educational needs of students. Also, the student needs to consider geographic location for on-ground instruction. However, many programs, like ours at Northwestern University, allow for an online environment that maintains the highest academic standards.
This link takes you to highlights of the MPPA program. Go here for additional information on the program.
After spending their first night on campus, the Northwestern Class of 2016 joined their parents for the fourth annual “March Thru the Arch.” Here’s the video.

This superb mansion, set in a wooded demesne, is built on lands which were granted to Sir Henry Tichbourne in 1642. Still remaining in the Tichbourne family, the property has many historic and social links. Traditionally thought to have been built c. 1660, recent research suggests that the current house was built c. 1715. However, the style of the building, with its Dutch influenced dormers, chimneystacks and steep roofs, is old fashioned for that date. The superbly-crafted finely-jointed red brickwork dressings to openings is of particular note. Carved modillion cornice console brackets are well wrought. The steeply-pitched slated roof with projecting dormers gives the building a distinctive flavour.

Christmas Book and Funko Haul 2018!
Ok, let’s get this haul on it’s way!
– This guide is an 80s kid’s dream. I grew up on both of these shows and this is just such a cool collector’s edition. It has every single episode and all the characters in a hardcover STUNNING book – all the pages are glossy as well. I will say this book weighs a ton! It’s got to be 10 lbs, not even kidding. Love this so much though!
Since I got a lot of these (Yay!), I thought I’d show this in the haul as well!
Princess Bride (Butterup, Indigo Montoya and Westley) – I basically screamed when my friend Samm sent me the entire set. One of my all-time favorite films!
Apprentice Mickey – Although I pretty much hate the movie Fantasia, I always loved The Sorcerer’s Apprentice – he’s just so stinkin’ cute!
Carmen Sandiego – Ok, you know this song just got into your head too – You’re welcome!
Betty Boop and Pudgy – I’m actually not a fan at all for the the Betty Boop cartoons (tons of racism and sexism), but I adore the icon herself. I think she is the cutest thing ever, so I still get stuff that has to do with her, I’m odd.
Mariah Carey – STOP JUDGING ME! Mariah has been my favorite diva since I was 10 years old and I won’t apologize! LOL I adore her still and I screamed when I saw she was finally getting a Funko!
Dr. Ian Malcolm – This is the best thing ever LOL What girl doesn’t want a Jeff Goldbulm Funko shirtless on her shelf? Exactly! Perfection!
Coraline with Cat – I love this book and movie, thrilled it got Funkos! I just need the creepy button-eyed mom now!
Smaug – This thing is massive and I love it! It looks amazing on my bookshelf!
Basilisk – Same comments as Smaug!
I had a great holiday with my family and furbabies, I hope you all did as well! That is it for this year’s Christmas haul! I’m a crazy book buying addict though – so there will be many hauls to come this year, I’m sure.

New York, NY, April 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- STOMP Out Bullying™ is thrilled to announce its newest Global Ambassadors, Alyssa Miller and Jameel McClain.
· As many as 8% of students may stay home from school because they're afraid of their bullies and/or they just can't take the pain anymore.
Alyssa Miller is a fashion and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and California native who has always been passionate about bullying prevention. “Growing up in a big family made me realize the importance of always looking out for those you love,” she says. “While I’ve always been protective of my brothers and sisters, I recognize the importance of ensuring that every child is treated with the same respect they deserve.” In teaming up with STOMP Out Bullying and supporting their efforts, Alyssa hopes to empower those victimized while helping to prevent future cases of bullying.
Jameel McClain, #53 Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl Champion XLVI is a native of North Philly and has participated in a variety of philanthropic events and bullying prevention is something he feels strongly about. He says, "When people say things that hurt, that takes a piece of you. You have to be strong because when these people see you sweat or they see it’s getting to you, that's when they try to take advantage of you. We define our own destiny. We have to teach kids not to let circumstances dictate who they are."
STOMP Out Bullying™ - The leading national anti-bullying and cyberbullying organization for kids and teens is a signature program of Love Our Children USA, the national nonprofit leader in fighting violence against children since 1999. Created in 2005, STOMP Out Bullying™ focuses on reducing and preventing bullying, cyberbullying, sexting and other digital abuse, educating against homophobia, racism and hatred, decreasing school absenteeism, and deterring violence in schools, online and in communities across the country. It teaches effective solutions on how to respond to all forms of bullying; as well as educating kids and teens in school and online, providing help for those in need and at risk of suicide, raising awareness, peer mentoring programs in schools, public service announcements by noted celebrities, and social media campaigns. An additional focus educates parents on how to keep their children safe and responsible online.

Twenty five years ago, Ronald Reagan signed the Economics Recovery Tax Act (ERTA). The bill cut the personal income tax rate by 25% across the board, indexed tax brackets for inflation and reduced the corporate income tax rate.
The achievement of Reaganomics can only be understood by recalling the miserable state of affairs that Newsweek summarized when it wrote in 1981 that Reagan "inherits the most dangerous economic crisis since Franklin Roosevelt took office 48 years ago".
The economy was enduring a cycle of rising inflation with growing levels of unemployment. Mortgage rates topped 20%. Terms like stagflation and the misery index entered our vocabulary. The perception of American economic weakness encouraged the Soviet Empire to bold adventures as reflected by Soviet tanks in Kabul and Communists on the march in Nicaragua and Africa.
Two remedies were undertaken, monetary restraint was needed to break inflation which was accomplished by Paul Volcker at the Federal Reserve and cuts in marginal tax rates would restore incentives to save and invest instead of spending and borrowing.
The results have been better than its supporter hoped for. The Dow Jones Industrial Average first broke 1000 in 1972 but, a decade later, was barely above 800. In the 25 years since Reagonomics however, the Dow has climbed above 11,000 accounting for an increase in "national wealth" of $25,000,000,000,000 (trillion!). To match that increase in percentage terms, the Dow will have to rise to 150,000 in the next twenty five years. American living standards have risen steadily and U.S. businesses have created entire industries that did not exist a generation ago.
Not bad for a President dismissed as a dreamy former actor. In his 1989 farewell address, Reagan said, "People say that I was a great communicator. It would be more accurate to say that I communicated great ideas." He was right and a remarkable global prosperity has followed in his wake.
The IRS is gearing up for audits of 2005 nonqualified deferred pay plans including rabbi trusts, hunting for violators of the new rules for salary deferred after 2004. Under those regulations, if deferred funds can be accessed too easily before retirement, the funds will be taxed on the date they vest, not when later paid to the employee.
A new Federal Tax Act passed on May 17, 2006 provided for minimal Alternative Minimum Tax Relief and a two year extension of the low capital gains and dividend tax rates to 2010.
But, overlooked, were the tax increases. The main tax increase to individuals involved raising the age to 18 from 14 that a child will be taxed on any unearned income at the parents’ marginal tax rate.
Because of the tax increase, parents may want to rethink using custodial accounts for college costs. 529 plans now may be a better option because the kiddie tax does no affect them and payouts for college are tax free.
For tax years beginning in 2006 and 2007 an individual can take a credit against his or her New York State personal income tax based on the costs incurred by him or her on or after July 1, 2006 and before July 1, 2007 that are directly associated with the replacment of an existing home heating system. The replacement system must be installed in a residence that is the taxpayer’s principal residence at the time the costs are incurred, the residence must be located in New York State and the installation must be completed before December 31, 2007.
The amount of the credit is equal to 50 percent of the costs incurred on or after July 1, 2006 and before July 1, 2007 and the credit cannot exceed $500.
If you have any questions about the foregoing or any other finanial matters, please call us.

Khwaja Shemsundin Mahommad Hifiz-e Sirazi, or simply Hafiz was a Persian mystic and poet. His lyrical poems, known as Ghazals, are noted for their beauty and bring to fruition the love, mysticism, and early Sufi themes that had long pervaded Persian poetry. Moreover, his poetry possessed elements of modern surrealism. By listening to his father's recitations, Hafiz had accomplished the task of learning the Qur'an by heart, at an early age (that is in fact the meaning of the word Hafiz). He is said to have become a poet in the court of Abu Ishak, and so gained fame and influence in his hometown. The works of Hafiz have left a mark on such important Western writers as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Goethe. In Iran, his collected works have come to be used as an aid to popular divination. Though Hafiz's poetry is influenced by his Islamic faith, he is widely respected by Hindus, Christians and others.
