Ford Mustang 2010
Ford launched a powerful program for the new 2010 Mustang, giving fans the possibility to win the ultimate dream experience with their favorite car.
"The '10 Unleashed" campaign gave a once in a lifetime Mustang experience with the new 2010 model.
In a series of scheduled events, consumers had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a 2010 Ford Mustang, whether drifting in Japan like world champion Vaighn Gittin, Jr., or customizing a new Mustang using the Ford Racing Performance Parts.
We were involved in designing one of the advertorial microsites that were part of the campaign, showcasing features, series of videos from the presented experiences, and other information about the vehicle.

Police: Ohio Woman Sprayed Cops with Breast Milk
An Ohio woman is under arrest after allegedly spraying sheriff's deputies with breast milk.
According to a report in theDaily Mail, police received a call of a domestic dispute over the weekend. When they arrived, a man said his wife drank too much at a wedding, hit him several times, and then locked herself in their car.
Deputies tried to talk to the woman, 30-year-old Stephanie Robinette. They say she refused to cooperate, yelling obscenities at them.
Then things got weird.
"When deputies attempted to remove Robinette from the vehicle, she advised them that she was a breast feeding mother and proceeded to remove her right breast from her dress and began spraying deputies and the vehicle with her breast milk," said Delaware County (Ohio) Sheriff Walter L. Davis.
Robinette is charged with of disorderly conduct, domestic violence, assault and resisting arrest.
"This is a prime example of how alcohol can make individuals do things they would not normally do," Davis said in the understatement of the year.

bridgetstfu/Twitter, Olena Yakobchuk/Shutterstock
For reasons we won't get into, some guys out there feel entitled to make sexual advances on women through any form of communication they can get their hands on, especially through social media accounts. Even worse, they don't stop at a no-sponse or even a "no." So one woman named Bridget Nickerson took matters into her own hands with an unconventional but effective method to shut down any creep who slides into your DMs.
Some dude named da.niel6460 messaged Nickerson on Twitter to tell her she was hot, and like other dudes who like to slide into DMs, he was relentless.
He didn't take her lack of response for an answer, and followed up with another poetic message that I'm sure she doesn't get all the time. Finally, she said, "Thanks."
There was no beating around the bush, and he went straight to attempting to sext with Nickerson. She agreed -- but only if they role-played. As you can guess, she had a plan hidden up her sleeve.
In their role-playing, Nickerson asked if a "friend" could join in, and she virtually blindfolded the dude.
The golden nugget of the story is when she revealed her "friend" to be everyone's favorite green ogre, Shrek.
My, how the tables have turned. The dude never replied (even though, remember way back when he probed Nickerson for not replying?). But hey, her plan worked.
As expected, Twitter exploded over Nickerson's insanely clever DM exchange, absolutely loving her response.

4 Common Myths About Renters Insurance
The saying "Generation Rent" is starting to become a reality more and more these days. With private renting at an all-time high, it's time to dive into something that everyone who is renting must have, or else they are naked, and risking more than they know.
I'm talking of course about renters insurance.
For approximately the cost of a few movie tickets each month, renters insurance can protect your personal belongings and save you from a legal or medical expenses associated with an accident within your home, apartment or condo. Many renters overlook this insurance policy thinking it's too expensive or just flat-out unnecessary. Well, if you're into driving without a seat belt more power to you, but I'm guessing we all would rather be safe than sorry.
Let's go over four very common myths about renters insurance that should inspire you to get such coverage if you are currently without.
1. "I don't have enough stuff to need insurance coverage"
No matter where you live, your property is susceptible to many damages. It could be fire, theft, or even a broken kitchen appliance; many experts say there isn't a scenario in which a tenant should go without renters insurance.
You would be shocked if you actually sat down and took the time to add up all of your personal belongings. Theft is real these days, and this insurance should help you sleep at night knowing you won't have worry to a certain degree about losing all your prized and valuable items.
2. "Since I am a renter, my landlord will cover property damages."
Sometimes, a landlord could potentially partner with an insurance company to offer renters insurance to tenants, but more frequently, it typically only protects the building itself. "After acquiring a rental housing unit, landlords change their insurance policies from a traditional homeowners policy to a rental policy, and when they do that, it only covers just the structure, not the content or any of the tenants' belongings," says James Emory Tungsvik, president of the National Association of Residential Property Managers.
"Say you just bought a few hundred dollars' worth of frozen food and you stuck it in the freezer that the landlord owns, and it breaks down, spoiling all the food," Tungsvik says. "If you wanted coverage for that lost expense, the landlord would not responsible for it. That would be part of renters insurance."
3. "Renters insurance only covers my personal belongings."
The common saying "accidents happen" rings especially true with renters insurance. A flood in your apartment could even damage other tenants property, and the buildings amenities, and this a prime example of how this insurance can save thousands. Unexpected things happen and wise people try to prepare for the unknown. "For example, if your bathtub overflows and water seeps into the apartment below, damaging your neighbor's furniture or rug, your renter's policy will cover the damage up to your liability limits," Lyons says.
4. "Renters insurance is too expensive."
Wrong! It's actually pretty affordable considering how much you benefit. Let's break it down: in most cases, annually you are looking at about $185, monthly a tad under $20, and daily the cost of roughly 50 cents. What a steal.
Many insurance providers offer packages that include discounts when you bundle a few plans together, so realistically it could be cheaper if you are loyal to a certain provider. Everyone's a winner.
Still, be wary and don't jump at your first offer. Browse around and be a smart avid consumer — prices will vary just like with any other product or service.
How to choose a renters insurance policy
Renters insurance coverage needs are different for every individual, based on factors like age, location and protection needs for things like natural disasters. But in general, there are two important areas to understand when choosing a renters insurance policy: what the policy covers and whether that coverage is actual cash value or the total replace cost.

Regular Seminar Panos Betzios (Crete)
room H503
In this talk I will discuss asymptotically AdS wormhole solutions in the context of holography. I will present how to compute correlation functions of local operators as well as non local observables such as correlation functions of Wilson loops on the distinct boundaries and I will discuss their behavior. Moreover, I will discuss the effect that multi-trace deformations have on such observables. From the computations mentioned we observe that the dual theory is expected to be described in terms of two interacting sectors coupled by a UV soft, non-local interaction. Finally, I will present a simple effective field theory construction that can explain the behaviors that we observe from these gravitational computations.

Production of Euro-4 standard gasoline in Kermanshah Refinery, which was due in 2016, has been postponed to 2019, managing director of Kermanshah Oil Refining Company told ISNA.
Currently quality of petroleum products, including gasoline, refined at Kermanshah Refinery conforms to Euro-2 standards, Seyed Mohammad Jamshidi said, noting that the gasoline currently produced in the majority of nine refineries operating across the country matches Euro-2 standards.
Nationwide plans to enhance the quality of refined products were initially expected to be implemented by 2016. However, they are now rescheduled. Quality enhancement plans for petroleum products are primarily aimed at improving gasoline (due to its benzene components) and gasoil (due to sulfur components). "Domestically produced gasoline is of low quality," Jamshidi asserted. Iran plans to turn to high-quality gasoline to tackle air pollution, which has put at risk close to 35 million Iranians.
Emission standards define the acceptable limits for exhaust fumes of new vehicles. The European emission standards are defined in a series of European Union directives staging the progressive introduction of increasingly stringent standards. The oil ministry has taken steps to reduce the distribution of low-quality gasoline and increase supply of Euro-4 gasoline. A cabinet approval last year urged the oil ministry to distribute Euro-4 gasoline in 8 big cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Mashhad, Karaj, Qom and Tabriz.

Jill Sobule
Submitted by [email protected] on August 16, 2009
Club Cafe was packed Saturday night to welcome back Jill Sobule for her first of two visits to Pittsburgh this year. As the early show, Sobule entertained for over 90 minutes beginning with "Where is Bobbie Gentry?" from her latest CD "California Years". She wore a sleeveless pink/red dress with a large peace symbol on the bottom, and boots. Sobule showed she can play electric guitar, and even briefly sounded like Jimi Hedrix. Also on the stage was a stand to hold her music and lyrics. Sobule is not afraid to do covers, she did her take on The Association's "Never My Love", inviting the audience to sing-along, as she did on quite a few of her tunes. Themes in her songs seem to be often about people ("Margaret", "Karen by Night") or places ("Cinnamon Park", "Somewhere in New Mexico"). Older songs like "Heroes" mixed with newer material that has yet to be recorded, like the song inspired by her visit to a Bearbucks in Castro, CA. Typical of a singer-songwriter, Sobule had many stories to share. Additional songs from "California Years" included "Palm Springs", "Mexican Pharmacy" and during the two-song encore "San Francisco". Sobule promised to do songs that she didn't get to this time during her set in November (check out the WYEP Concert Calendar for more info.)

Exterior Protection
Keeping your car looking newer for longer.
Why protect my paint?
The whole idea behind paint sealant is to protect your vehicle's paintwork from the harsh environment that surrounds it - Ultra Violet rays from the sun which can fade paintwork, atmospheric fallout and acid rain which can damage the paint finish, road salt and other contributors which can fade and corrode the surface.
These are the effects of contaminants on paint that wasn't protected, this vehicle was less than a year old.
What does Supagard protect against? *
How Does it Work?
All Supagard products have been developed to withstand the harshest environmental and climatic conditions and our paint sealants are some of the most technologically advanced treatments available. The tough, high gloss barrier bonds to the paintwork, seals the surface against harmful UV rays, acid rain and atmospheric pollution.
Unprotected After 1 Year
The paint has started to oxidize and the grime in the low points can only be cleaned by a cutting polish which removes a layer of paint.
Unprotected Car Paint
If left unprotected, deterioration begins from day one. Pollution, acid rain and UV rays and other pollutants will begin to oxidise the paint.
Protected After 5 Years
Supagard protects the paint from day one. There has been no oxidization, no accumulation of grime and no reduction in paint thickness.
Don't just take our word for it
We've treated over 4 million cars in the U.K alone, why not have a look at our testimonials page and see just how Supagard helps everyday people?

Why Competency-Based Education Is certainly Exciting And Where This could Stumble
Why Competency-Based Education Is certainly Exciting And Where This could Stumble
Educators all over the world are creatively pertaining to ways to completely transform the traditional degree system in an experience that will propel young people forward on the world prepared take on it's complex concerns. Competency-based education and learning has piqued the interest of a lot of communities for the promise in making learning a far more personal feel for students. In the competency-based model, children undertake school based upon their capacity to demonstrate talents in knowledge and content material, not simply by how many hours they put in sitting in class.
Teachers experience long confronted the trial of constructing lessons for one group of trainees who are not every alike. Students come to college with different experience of academic opportunities, disparate were living experiences, together with unique needs and interests. For decades educators have tried to impart an arrangement curriculum inside of a limited period of time to this heterogeneous group of students. And no matter whether all college students grasped often the concepts and even skills, primarily students transferred forward making use of their age cohort to the next quality.
Now many are questioning this particular time-based route to learning. Many people wonder what precisely sitting in a classroom for any predetermined amount of instructional hours says with what students know and can carry out. They fight some trainees are ready to get more detailed challenges, while other companies need more guidance. They say really unfair for you to shepherd most people along at the similar pace. Certainly it be preferable if every person could shift at their own personal pace, check to see their unique interests and exhibit their experience in the strategies are a large number of meaningful in their eyes? In its most natural form, that may be what supporters of competency-based education want to see.
Several says in Fresh England experience passed legal guidelines making it easier to get schools to take on competency-based devices, and on the internet platforms such as Summit Learning have disperse a version within the idea in order to schools round the country. For a lot of parents together with educators it's exciting when you consider that each scholar could go at their own pace in the curriculum utilizing guidance and even support by teachers. However , the discussion around competency-based training raises great questions precisely teachers deal with classrooms full of learners on different stages of knowing, the potential negatives to this kind of system, and also whether this could inadvertently perpetuate inequality.
Within the rush to mend a problem, it's not hard to forget the heritage behind the machine we have. The Carnegie Product, also known as the actual credit hr, was a home town solution to untrustworthy standards with regard to college acces educators suffered in the late 19th century depending on in-person examinations and tests. That structure didn't range and it provided a limited resume. In an effort to receptive various routes to and even through university, educators produced the idea of the actual credit hr, so that several courses that will met a strong agreed-upon number of credit hours could well be considered around equivalent by colleges.
Current system according to the Carnegie Item has verified durable just because it features allowed a eclectic mix institutions to the office together. No two sessions are specifically alike, nevertheless the credit 60 minute block allows scholars to be thought of equally completely ready.
"If you feel of it for a currency, in that case currencies are actually defined by institutions or even collective room or space in which you incorporate the use of that foreign currency and it's thankful at confront value, " said Ethan Hutt, supervisor professor while in the Department for Teaching and also Learning, Plan and Direction at the University of Maryland-College Park.
And, Hutt keeps, the current program puts important trust in mentor professionalism. The system is besides the fact that a student being placed in a Ough. S. story class within Maryland can be learning around the same points as a scholar in Washington dc. Colleges will be trusting high school teachers to do a good job. Which trust is made into many public colleges and universities, where the top high school students may be confirmed admission proceed of the state colleges along with into less-selective colleges when a high school qualification serves as the foundation for entry.
That rely on also lets students for you to and modification schools without having to lose credit just for work they already have completed. Hutt worries although it's a acknowledged fact that just about all U. Nasiums. history classes are not established equally, lots of competency-based systems are engineered so locally that it could well be difficult for another district or simply state to recognize the learning students has done.
"Often when people talk about competency-based knowledge, they don't think about who all it is that's going to accept that measure, that certification, " Hutt explained.
He's apprehensive that that allows you to make sure students have main skills, tutors pursuing competency-based models will end up cut off on the larger method. In order to validate the learning for just a wider market, the same school staff who plan to create a considerably more open-ended technique could find yourself relying on standard tests to demonstrate that understanding has happened.
And, "there's a small care that if you look at competency-based product that's not authenticated by standardised tests, people today may depend strictly at school reputation when recognizing these abilities — a call with clear equity significances, " Hutt said. The guy worries which will without masking the other structural inequalities during the system, competency-based education might be yet another "innovation" that gives more affluent individuals a lower leg up.
Rapidly practical considerations with the best way competency-based reforms are carried out, and their impact on equity, there is already academic institutions and canton tackling those issues. With New Hampshire, some schools have used newly released legislation just as one opportunity to reconsider what educational facilities look like, while other companies have used it as an opening in making other educational shifts. In addition to Maine, many of the challenges Hutt raises have got led to pushback from lecturers and parents.
DURCH professor Justin Reich will be interested in the very conversation approximately competency-based degree because it highlites on certain fundamental problems in the procedure right now. Your dog is not certain competency-based devices will be the solution for everyone, although he has seen positives leave communities who are trying to put into action it.
"It forces and also compels reduce weight think definitely carefully in relation to it is we really wish for students to be familiar with, to do, to trust buy-essay.co click here, and to get conversations that are not just in just one individuals classroom as well as department, however across sectors, " Reich said. "They're thinking seriously carefully of what it looks like for college students to be on the trajectory. "
That form of coherence is vital to inventive change, Reich said. And the best kinds it's the gradual changes, not necessarily the huge technology, that in the long run transform devices. So while competency-based training in its almost all radical variety may not prove to be a viable solution for many educational institutions, elements of the main reform could make a big difference intended for educators as well as students just where these interactions are taking place.
At competency-based schools Reich has went to see, school is still recognizable towards him. Right after are more delicate; teaches have the same internet page about what college students need to know and then do each and every stage of their total learning. Trainees know what the very expectations usually are, and which clear process to track trainees through all their progression.
"It's not a overall transformation where in the very same room can kid working away at calculus in addition to another youngster just begin on something else entirely, " Reich said.
Reich and his mates will be exploring the intricacies of competency-based training in a free online course made available from EdX commencing Jan. 31, 2019. Students will hear from experts along with on-the-ground users about the favorable and downside of competency-based models. Reich hopes course instructors, district chiefs, school enter members, mom and dad and community members could participate in the six-week program so they can bring back to their complexes and start informed conversations within the best way forwards in their unique contexts.

If you want a comedy that actually features strong female leads who are hilarious and real, then you need to check out Comedy Central's Broad City (also available on Hulu).
There's no denying that the comedy genre in Hollywood is inundated with men–there are many silly, slapstick movies with men making crude jokes–so it was incredibly refreshing for me to come across Ilana and Abbi, two best friends living in New York City, who make the same jokes that men would enjoy, but also for women. They talk about their lady parts, menstruation, sex, and more in a way that is as out there and uncensored as male comedians, and for that, I respect them immensely.
I enjoyed this show and still leave it on in the background at times because these two women are hilarious and yet incredibly down to earth. They frequently strip down to show how "average" they are–and I mean literally. They are not shy about their bodies. Constantly seeing Abbi unashamed of her body was inspiring to me (Ilana actually does have a pretty fit, curvy body), and this is the body image positivity we desperately need more of in the world. Additionally, they barely style their hair, wear makeup, or dress up. They completely embody normal women you'd run into in the city.
Apart from the outer appearances, the girls constantly talk about sex, are figuring out what to do with their career-less lives, make poop jokes (which might not be your thing but at least shows that women aren't at all the dainty flowers whose farts smell like roses that men try to make us out to be), and are total friendship goals, which is the next point I want to make. I love how balanced and healthy their relationship is.
Although Abbi might at first seem more of the "prude" than Ilana, she shows that she has a wild side and is comfortable being herself. She can be pretty weird, too, which I love. But she also states what makes her uncomfortable, which I respect. Normally, her type is portrayed as the one leaning on the more extroverted one, but actually, this is reversed in this show. We see the bolder and crazier Ilana girl-crushing hard on the generally more mellow Abbi, resulting in a well-balanced, excellent chemistry between the two besties.
All of the characters are pretty great and diverse in Broad City. I love their families, like Ilana's easygoing parents and her gay brother (who is actually played by her real gay brother, Eliot Glazer). I absolutely love Lincoln, the dentist who is in an open relationship with the bisexual Ilana; the peppy, sweet Trey from Soulstice; and Jaimé who loves all things American.
Moving on, Broad City accurately portrays New York City for what it is: full of weirdos, disgusting with rats and humidity and garbage everywhere, tough, and more. As someone who lives near New York City, I hate going there for the most part because of all these reasons, so it was awesome to see a series actually show all the negative aspects of the city–while somehow still making it charming and familiar. There's something cozy about how they portray the harsh living conditions of the Big Apple–yes, it's terrible but they love it, which makes me warm up to it, as well. They're showing me all the reality of it in a way that I respect. The city is not all glossy and glamorous like in other shows (cough, Sex and the City).
The writing is excellent with comedic twists and turns perfectly executed by Abbi and Ilana, who are the creators of the show. There are well-incorporated guests who blend in so well they don't even seem to be guests who only show up for five minutes in the episode. The only downside for me is that there are a TON of references to and episodes entirely based on drugs, which isn't my thing. I never find it funny when someone acts really high on TV, but that's just a personal preference. This may be a total plus for you.
Seriously, I highly recommend this show if you are looking for a great cast, awesome women you can actually relate to, hilarious situations, urban life portrayed realistically, and more. Broad City will make you smile.

There is an experiment that I have not yet tried with my kids, mostly because they are not huge fans of beets. The experiment measures the health of their digestion, which might appear uninteresting, but because boys (no matter what age) seem to love potty talk, I actually think it could be a big hit. The experiment asks kids to eat a big bowl of beets and then see how long it takes for the pink color to show up . . . you know where. The goal is to tell how efficient or sluggish their digestion is.
Tons of kids are constipated. Approximately 3 percent of general pediatric office visits are due to constipation complaints, and 25 percent of referrals to pediatric gastroenterologists are for constipation.
Many kids hold their bowels at school, as they are uncomfortable going in such a busy, public setting. Others rush out the door in the morning, still half-asleep, not giving their bodies a chance to empty. Constipation can limit their activity and life enjoyment by triggering regular stomach pains, making it uncomfortable to run and play, initiating embarrassing gas, and messing with their meal intake, overall nutrition and daily energy.
[What to do when your stomach is bothering you]
Constipation, especially chronic, can be more than an aggravation, though; it can be unsafe. Large, heavy stools can stretch out the colon, irritate the colon walls, damage the good bacteria in the gut and produce toxins from wastes that have been sitting in the large intestine for too long. These troubles can trigger other health issues, such as body-wide inflammation, allergies, colon cancer and reduced emotional health.
A long time ago, Hippocrates said, "All disease begins in the gut." Considering that 70 percent of the immune system, which fights disease for our bodies, lies in and around the digestive system, he was onto something. When our gut becomes clogged, so does our health.
What is normal?
Children should pass a bowel movement once or twice a day, or at minimum once every two to three days, without discomfort or pain.
How can you tell if
your child is constipated?
Signs include:
• Hard, dry stools that are painful or difficult to pass.
• Days without a bowel movement.
• Abdominal pain.
• Cramping.
• Gas.
• Poor appetite.
• Crankiness.
• Frequent peeing or bed-wetting, as a large mass can put pressure on the bladder.
• Recurring urinary tract infections.
• Soiled underwear.
What causes constipation
in kids?
• A typical Western diet including lots of cheese, pasta, bread, pizza, chicken nuggets and other foods that lack fiber.
• Lack of water.
• Lack of exercise.
• Withholding: when kids do not go when they need to.
• Certain medications.
• Illnesses.
• Stress.
• Changes in routine.
• Magnesium deficiency.
How can you help
a constipated child?
• A fiber-rich diet: fruits such as apples and pears with the skins, oranges and berries; vegetables such as beets, broccoli, spinach, beans and prunes.
• Healthy fats such as wild fish, avocados, olive oil, flaxseed oil and coconut oil — toss pasta or vegetables with flaxseed oil or add 1 tablespoon to a smoothie.
• Ground flaxseeds and chia seeds — add to smoothies or sprinkle over oatmeal, yogurt, cereal or salads.
• Lots of water.
• Whole grains, as opposed to refined grains.
• Warm mint or ginger tea.
• Warmed fruit nectar.
• Molasses, which, because it has magnesium, can stimulate the bowels — add to smoothies and cereals.
• Probiotics.
• Vitamin C.
• Temporarily limiting dairy and gluten in the diet.
• Massaging the abdomen.
Why not give children
a commercial laxative?
Commercial laxatives, such as MiraLax, are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for children and are recommended for adults for no more than seven days. The active ingredient in these medicines is polyethylene glycol 3350 (PEG 3350), which is a derivative of petroleum and is therefore essentially a plastic. Many children take them, and more often than is healthy or necessary.
In 2014, the FDA awarded a grant to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to study whether PEG 3350 is absorbed into the blood by children and whether it contributes to neurological or behavioral problems such as seizures, tics, headaches, aggression, rages, obsessive compulsiveness, anxiety and kidney problems. The natural remedies for constipation listed above might be preferable until more is ascertained from this study. Or, quite frankly, that big bowl of beets might just do the trick.

How to Make a Wagon Wheel Chandelier
A wagon wheel chandelier gives an authentic rustic look to any rustic themed room. It is becoming very popular to re-use a wagon wheel to create a chandelier. If you want, you can buy a wagon wheel chandelier from a specialty lighting store, but it can be expensive. If you don't want to spend that much money, why not try to build it yourself? This article will show you how to recycle a wagon wheel and transform it into an authentic rustic chandelier.
Step 1: Mason Jars
The mason jars will be used as the lamps on top of the wheel. The bigger the wagon wheel, the more mason jars you will need. Establish how many jars you will need before purchasing any. Fix the wagon wheel in a workable position. Place the mason jars on the wagon wheel at the end of a spoke. Distribute them equally. Mark the spot where they will be fixed, and set them aside for now.
Step 2: Attaching the Retainers
Place the retainers on the wagon wheel. Drill some holes to fix the retainers. Screw them in tightly. Now, fold the metal tabs (found in the middle of the retainers) down over the rim of the wagon wheel. These will be used as holders for the mason jars.
Step 3: Adapters and S Hooks
Fix the lamp adapters onto the top part of the mason jars. Screw it in tightly. The open top of the Mason jar is where the bulb will go. Clip the S hooks on the rim of the wheel (next to every Mason jar). The S hooks will be used to hold the chain.
Step 4: The Ceiling Hook
Follow the manufacture's instruction carefully when installing the ceiling hook. Now, measure how long the wagon wheel will hang. Cut the chain at that length. Repeat this process for every light on the wagon wheel.
Step 5: Attaching the Wagon Wheel
Next, attach one end of the chain to the S hooks, whilst the other end is to be attached to the ceiling hook. Repeat the process for every chain. At this point, it is advisable to ask someone to help you hold the wagon wheel. Make sure that the wagon wheel chandelier is level. Place a mason jar onto each lamp retainer. Place a light bulb into every lamp adapter, and fix the globes onto each lamp adapter.
Step 6: The Electric Cord
Now, place the electric cord through the chain, and plug each electric cord into the extension.
As you can see, it's not that difficult to construct a wagon wheel chandelier, and you will save a lot of money. However, always ask a professional if you are unsure of what to do.

How To Keep Your Friendships Strong When Your Bank Balance Is Weak
I really hate being that friend.
You know – the eternally broke one that forever lets mates down because you can barely scrape enough funds together to buy a drink. It sucks. It's demoralising and diminishes self-worth beyond words.
A 2017 study by PayPal found that nearly half of our generation have felt strain in their friendships over money. I'm glad it's not just me.
I've always struggled with money, not because I'm bad at saving or that I swan around flash joints like I own them, but because I haven't carved out a lucrative career. I've favoured casual jobs, meaning no steady income. The coveted salary seems to be reserved for the majority of my friends. And herein lies the problem; their financial stability leaves me unable to keep up.
I simply can't afford the restaurants and activities they pick. Whenever an invitation comes up I feel my body tense in shame and fear. My go-to thought is how to get out of this as quickly and painlessly as I can. And that makes me sad. It also creates a divide between me and them, which translates as me (failure) and them (successful).
I remember one particular friend was planning her birthday at a beautiful restaurant. I knew there was no way I could do it unless I sat there and feigned the "I'm not hungry" stance as my stomach growled with hunger and I angrily berated a lettuce leaf. I had to cancel with another excuse, though I'm not sure how many sick Aunties one person can possibly have. Her boyfriend messaged me to say he would like to pay for me to go as my friend would love me to be there.
Oh the shame. My lies had been uncovered, no one was addressing the problem outright and I was mortified. If I did go I wouldn't enjoy myself anyway, as I'd be totally aware of my financial position among this group of people – as well as knowing someone else had to fork out for me.
So I didn't go and another friend got let down.
Because I don't want to be friendless as well as penniless, I've had to come up with some fool proof tips and tricks over the years so I can deal with these stressful situations. With a little help from Life and Business Coach Lauren Bryant and Life Coach Cara Egan, here's some ways to navigate messy monetary issues with your mates.
Take control
Going out to eat is probably the biggest issue I've come across concerning friends and money. It's a bonding experience to chow down on a burrito while having a chinwag, so how can you still go out to socialise over dinner when you're broke?
Simple – don't leave it up to mates suggest times and places; take the initiative (which also shows you're making effort). By taking charge it alleviates much of that stress and enables you to hide your financial status to a degree.
Suggesting a night out at Maccas might give the game away but generally many mid-priced venues will have cheaper options, and there are heaps of great food joints around that are cheap and cheerful.
Sneak a look at the menu
If a dinner date is sprung upon you, don't go into meltdown, just get online. Most places have menus online, so you can work it all out beforehand. The last thing you'll want to force on your mates is resuscitation when faced with a 40 buck salad at a swanky restaurant.
Be the designated driver
Often I've resorted to this little hack. It also gives back to those mates who probably help you out when you're down and out. Business Coach Lauren Bryant agrees.
"If you have serious FOMO but your hip pocket says no to a dozen Espresso Martinis, offering to drive is the perfect solution. You don't miss out on the night and you get to hang with your mates. Plus, no hangover the next day!" she says.
Relieve anxiety by knowing your money situation
A lot of the time my anxiety over money is because I actually have no clue where I'm at with it. This means when a dinner dates on the table I automatically freeze without really knowing if I can afford that night out or not.
Life Coach Cara Egan has a 'Money Monday' where she spends 15 minutes going over her finances and seeing where she's at. "One of the most beneficial things I've implemented was putting aside a small amount of money each week purely for me. It could just be $20 but that's my guilt free 20 bucks to spend on making me feel good; nails (could do with a friend) or a bottle of wine (can have with a friend)."
Sometimes I feel the world is against me when 3 million birthdays come in the one month. However I remind myself it's not out of the blue; it happened the year before, funnily enough. Lauren believes budgeting for the milestones in our mate's lives is a must.
"We all know when our closest mate's birthdays are and who's getting hitched when. If you budget in advance for these big events you don't have to find excuses not to go to parties or buy gifts as you're prepared."
Be honest
Being honest around personal struggles with money is never easy. You have the shame factor and the comparison-to-your-friend factor, among others.
Ironically, I've learnt that actually being honest when you hit hard times is the only way to lessen these feelings. I try to explain what's happening for me, how situations can make me feel and ultimately ask for what I need from friends.
They may come back with their needs too of course but at least the discussion starts. It stops the resentment, stops some unease around situations in the future and creates more of a bond with the people I fear I'll lose because I can't partake in every activity.
Cara says asking for support like this is really vital.
"Ask your mates for what you need. Reassure them that you want to hang but you just find it difficult to see if they'd be up for other things that don't cost money," she says. "There's heaps of cool stuff to do, especially in the cities and coming into summer; there are markets, festivals, beautiful coastal walks, we're pretty lucky!"
As Lauren says, your friends are friends because they like you, not your bank balance.
"If you can't tell mates that you're struggling with finances right now, why are you friends at all?"
Friends support each other and as long as you aren't exploiting their generosity, I've found it's also important to let them help when they want to. Paying for you to go to the movies with them also benefits them, so let your guard down and practise the art of acceptance.
Money is just one part of any relationship. Repayment to a mate may just mean you give back in other areas through support, time and care for your friendship.

Havnatt's Etterlatte album has now been released and will start appearing on various websites and services all over the world. Sites and services include secretquarters.com, iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon, Google Music, Last.fm, MySpace Music, Rhapsody, Shazam, Emusic, GreatIndieMusic, Spotify, Xbox Music and many others.
The Etterlatte album builds upon the foundation that Havnatt created with their Havdøgn EP (2012). All lyrics are still the unedited works of Norwegian author Tormod Skagestad. Largely based upon Cecilie Langlie's vocal performances and the acoustic guitar arrangements by Tom Simonsen, the sound is still unique, Havnatt-esque neofolk/dark folk. With Etterlatte the sound is also further expanded through larger musical arrangements that include piano, clarinets, violins and cellos, among others.
Each of the album's 12 tracks seeks to create a musical interpretation of one of Tormod Skagestad's poems, and deals with the unaltered lyrics of one entire poem. One interesting exception is the track Vårnatta Er Ein Lys Felestreng (Del 1). "Del 1" (meaning "Part 1" in Norwegian) indicates that the lyrics of this poem was actually cut in half and that "Del 2" will follow on a later release. Another exception is the addition of the instrumental track Mellom Linjene. Furthermore, the album includes two separate interpretations of the poem entitled Sovande Gard. The first interpretation of this poem makes up the first track of the album. Then the lyrics of this poem return once more on track 11 - with quite different results.
The CD version of the album comes with a beautifully crafted 28 page booklet with hand drawn illustrations for each of the tracks. Tormod Skagestad's original lyrics have also been reprinted in the booklet with permission from the Skagestad family.
Havnatt is
Cecilie Langlie - vocals
Tom Simonsen - guitars, bass, piano, drums
Session musicians
Mira Ursic - violins
Rosamund Brown - cellos
Tiina Granum - clarinets
All tracks composed, arranged and produced by Havnatt.
All lyrics by Tormod Skagestad.
The lyrics used on this album were taken from the following collections of poems:
Om fjellprofilan låg ei gullrand spent (1946)
I natt skal mange våke (1947)
Mørkt vatten glir mot havet (1950)
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Tom Simonsen at the Secret Quarters studios.

I am planning a trip for a couple of weeks from now. I'm looking at the stretch between Bugbee to Ompompanoosuc Launch. Planning on two days. Does anyone have any current information about the condition/levels on the river there? How are those two launches? Can I park at car at Ompompanoosuc? Any portages? Looks like 37 river miles. Is that abreasonable distance for two days or do I need to scale back expectations?
Thanks a lot.

Last year was a very successful year for fundraising within the Trust. We raised over £11,000 – half of which was donated to our preferred charity of 2016/17 – the NSPCC. The remainder was used to establish a central Sports and Arts Fund.
You will already know that in GST schools all students have access to hundreds of free clubs and activities every week: chess; ballroom dancing; mandolin; coding; violin; human rights clubs; philosophy; young Rotarians; trampolining; the list goes on.
We also work hard to make learning as interesting as possible by arranging free visits to parks, theatres, art galleries and concerts, etc. as well as bringing visitors and guests into schools: scientists; musicians and historians, etc.
Schools budget carefully to provide the breadth that GST is so proud of but now students are able to apply for funding for Arts/Sports projects within their school that run outside the classroom. This may include raising funds for specialist equipment, such as unusual musical instruments and specialist sporting equipment. Experiences like producing plays that students can take to the Edinburgh festival and having access to study trips abroad will widen student opportunities further.
This year we are running a threefold fundraising campaign:
• to raise money for MACS charity
• to raise further funds for GST's central Sports and Arts Fund
• to raise money for charities within the local communities of our schools.
Our key fundraising periods this year are:
9th March – Founders Day
As always on this day, the focus is on community. Schools will be running a number of charity events throughout the day, the money raised will be split between local charities of the school's choice and MACS.
22nd April – Marathon
Graham Clifford, Head of Willow Brook, is following in the footsteps of our Founder Ange Tyler and running the Virgin London Marathon on behalf of the Trust. All money raised will go towards MACs.
April/May – Challenge 26
Inspired by the 26.2 miles of the marathon, schools will be taking part in Challenge 26. Students will set themselves a sporting challenge involving the number 26. Examples of previous challenges include rowing 26 miles, doing 26 star jumps each day for 26 days, running a 26 mile relay, etc. The challenges can be completed by individuals or in groups. All sponsorship money raised will be added to the central Sports and Arts Fund.
MACS stands for Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia and Coloboma Support and it is the UK's national charity for children born without eyes or with underdeveloped eyes.

The best shopping around the world
Live to travel? Love to shop? Find out where the best places are around the world to go shopping, from LA's The ...KEEP READING
With the Australian dollar currently strong against the British Pound, it's a great time to book a holiday to the United Kingdom. So now your dollar is stretching further, you may just be able to book into some of the greatest hotels across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Here we highlight some of the best stays, from country manors to hip urban hotels and coastal townhouses for a memorable trip to the British Isles.
This multi-award winning hotel in Belfast, indeed the only AA 5 star rated hotel in the city, is located in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, right on the doorstep of the best bars and restaurants in Northern Ireland. The Merchant Hotel's Grade A listed building includes the opulent hotel, the Victorian-designed Great Room Restaurant, Belfast's only jazz bar, a cocktail bar, champagne lounge, and – for when you have reached peak consumption of all the aforementioned delicious indulgences – a luxury spa and gym for some added health and wellness.
For the hippest stay in London, make a beeline for trendy Shoreditch in the East End and check in to the Ace Hotel, where both local and international creatives come to work and play. The lobby doubles as a bustling shared work space, café and cocktail bar, and the rooms have more cutting-edge features than you could dream up – from guitars, vinyl players and vintage digital radios (with tailored bedtime stories to help you drift off to sleep) to denim bed spreads, window seats and craft beer in the minibar. A host of other local gems also inhabit the complex including Hoi Palloi restaurant, East London Juice Co, That Flower Shop and Sister Ray Records. Monocle exclaimed the hotel is "true to its location", and there's no hotter spot in London right now than Shoreditch.
The vast beauty of the Lake District, with its charming villages, ancient shepherding culture and sweeping hills evokes the England of Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. If you want to go where the locals head to unwind, a stay at the Haweswater Hotel makes for a welcomed short break. This stately, vine covered hotel overlooks the secluded Haweswater nature reserve and is at the doorstep of a number of great walks in the area. This beautifully restored art deco gem, with its book-clad sitting room, tended gardens and resident squirrels will fill you with delight.
Restaurateur, food writer and cookbook author Mark Hix is one of the powerhouse names in British gastronomy. After opening multiple acclaimed restaurants (and a bar!) in London he turned his sights on his native Dorset and opened HIX Townhouse in the charming Lyme Regis. This centrally located eight room Georgian townhouse has themed rooms like The Reading Room, The Fishing Room and the Mad Hatters Room, all within a stone's throw from the coast. A stay here also entitles you to a discount at his nearby restaurant HIX Oyster and Fish House, and you'll also love the breakfast hamper prepared at the restaurant that features local Dorset produce.
For true indulgence of the "impeccably English" kind, why not stay where Kate Middleton chose to spend her last evening before becoming a princess, by checking in to The Goring. Located in exclusive Belgravia, this grand garden filled property will have you sipping on high tea and being waited on by uniformed footman. Travel and Leisure ranked it number one for the world's best hotel service in 2015, so you know you'll be treated like royalty.
This estate, set over 850 acres in the Perthshire countryside, is much more than merely a hotel. Gleneagles features four restaurants, one with two Michelin stars, one of the world's best golf courses and a host of unique activities such as falconry, equestrian and wildlife photography workshops to name a few. Add to that the onsite Spa at Gleneagles by ESPA, that has won Scotland's Best Hotel Spa at the World Spa Awards in 2015, and you are in for a truly indulgent and memorable stay.
Recent winner of the Gold Award for Best Hotel and Restaurant in the National Tourism Awards Wales, this picturesque white country hotel also houses a Michelin star restaurant and sits at the southern end of Snowdonia National Park, home of Wales' highest peak Mt Snowdon. Ynyshir Hall's elegant bedrooms are named after famous painters such as Renoir, Monet and Vermeer and the walls feature original works by the hotel owner Rob Reen.
There's much more to Liverpool than it being home of the Beatles, with a vibrant art scene which includes a Tate Museum, the urban cool of Bold Street filled with great restaurants and cafes, a still-exciting music scene and some wonderful architecture along the Mersey River. The pick of the places to stay is the chic Hope Street Hotel, frequent winner of the Hotel of the Year category in the Liverpool City Region Annual Tourism Awards. After checking in to your modern room (at the right price), head to the hotel restaurant The London Carriage Works for delicious British fare using locally sourced ingredients.

Though he's been in the spotlight for 35 years now, former Menudo member and "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer Ricky Martin has always presented a comfortable and familiar on-stage persona. White teeth glinting, eyes sparkling, hair styled to perfection—when you see a showman like Martin, be it in Vegas or on Broadway, you know what you're getting. But in the first Ryan Murphy-directed episode of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, Martin gives his fans something they've never seen from him before: despair, and lots of it. The Puerto Rico-born Martin plays Antonio D'Amico, longtime lover of Gianni Versace, who—spoiler alert, if you ignored the title of this series altogether—dies on the front steps of the lavish house he and Antonio shared in the show's opening scene.
Martin spends the rest of the episode grief-stricken and covered in Versace's blood. In a striking, wordless, and unscripted moment, Martin lets his eternally optimistic mask slip off entirely and he's fantastic. The gleaming smile gone and eyes sagging with exhaustion, Martin—wearing the personal grief of his own decades spent in the closet—stares at himself in the mirror. "I guess Ryan wanted to use and take advantage of that vulnerability," Martin said in a new interview for Vanity Fair's American Crime Story companion podcast, Still Watching: Versace. Approaching Martin after nine hours of filming both the discovery of Versace's body and a confrontational police interrogation scene, Murphy said, "Rick, come on, let's go to the bathroom. I want you to stand in front of the mirror. Wash your hands because you've been covered in blood for the last 10 hours and give me whatever you can in front of the mirror." In that moment, Martin says, he was "exhausted, drained, and really sad."
From the age of 12, Martin lived his life in the public eye—first as an earnest boy bander for the Latino pop group Menudo, and eventually as a worldwide solo-singing sensation. But until the age of 38, the Catholic-raised Martin kept the truth about his sexuality a secret. He tells Still Watching that he felt an "internalized homophobia," which similarly plagued both Gianni Versace and his assassin: Andrew Cunanan. Martin describes those decades as "the most uncomfortable and saddest times of my life. I thought my emotions were evil because that's what they told me. You're not supposed to feel like this." In past interviews, his familiar, comforting smile always in place, Martin has spoken of undiagnosed depressive periods that lifted significantly when he took to his own Web site in 2010 and came out of the closet.
Murphy's choice of Martin for this role is genius casting for a series that explores the warping, damaging effect of closeted sexuality and aspirational lifestyles. Martin represents, for many, the epitome of the closeted 90s. Barbara Walters, who has expressed few professional regrets in her life, admitted in 2010 that she had pressed Martin too hard on the quasi open-secret of his sexuality in 2000, calling her line of questioning "inappropriate."

When it's the holiday season, workouts can take a lower priority over family, shopping and travel. If you are not already doing it, I recommend changing your workouts to full-body. That way if you miss a workout here and there, you are less likely to feel the effects. Another plus is that full-body workouts boost your metabolism and fat-burning ability – making room for those holiday treats.
Holiday Workouts
It's a perfect time to get a few extra workouts in before next week. Drop into an Elite Fitness Reno class anytime. Each class is custom tailored and includes a full-body workout. Many classes are just 30-min. which will leave you plenty of time to fullfill those other holiday obligations.

THE DEPARTMENT OF the Taoiseach has produced its latest assessment of the risks — both financial and otherwise — faced by the country at the moment.
The reason?
Better to be safe than sorry is, essentially, the sentiment behind the plan.
It was announced in 2013 that the Government would publish a National Risk Assessment each year, to set out the risks faced by the country "and therefore ensure appropriate prevention and mitigation measures are introduced".
The latest assessment, looking at 'Strategic Risks', details developments that could have a serious impact on Ireland.
On the agenda this year: Britain's future in Europe, potential problems in the Irish housing market, and the rise of Islamic State.
According to the Taoiseach's preamble:
We do not pretend that Government can anticipate every risk, but by being open to considering the full range of issues that could impact Ireland's economic and social development, we can ensure that we have a real and mature discussion about the challenges that Ireland faces and how these should be addressed.
On Britain and the EU: The risk assessment notes that a fundamental change to the UK's relationship with the EU could present challenges for Ireland in particular: economic and trade relations could be harmed and the peace process could be hampered.
On 'misaligments' in the housing market: The document says that the new Central Bank rules on borrowing look to have been effective in stabilising house prices in the Dublin area – but that asking prices outside the capital have continued to rise.
On the rise of Islamic State: The risk assessment warns of the possibility that "a state like Ireland" could be used as a location to launch terror attacks.
It adds:
"Such incidents would be likely to cause extreme disruption in the short-term. More damaging might be longer-term reputational damage to Ireland as a safe and secure destination.
"In addition, the growing, global phenomenon of foreign fighters and
any possible security threat that radicalised returnees may pose to this country and beyond, necessitates close attention."
For further bedtime reading, the full account of threats can be found here.
