EOS magazine, like many other publications, relies on contributors. Although we have in-house technical writers, we use articles from outside our team in each issue. We also publish a lot of contributed photographs.
If you think you have what it takes to be published in EOS magazine – whether you can write about photography or shoot inspirational and technically strong images with your EOS camera – here are some guidelines to help improve your chances of being published.
• Study the magazine
This might seem obvious advice, but we often receive material from people who have clearly never seen a copy of EOS magazine.
EOS magazine is only available by subscription. If you've never seen a copy of the magazine, you can take a look at a previous issue via the EOS magazine digital library, or order a back issue from the EOS magazine shop.
• Keep it exclusively EOS
The name of the magazine should be a giveaway, but we are only interested in Canon EOS content. Don't include images shot with other makes of camera, or even Canon PowerShot or IXUS cameras.
• Where's the story
It is not enough to send a few photographs shot with an EOS camera – we need to know the story behind the images. In fact, we would rather hear the story first. Do not attach images to an email – include a link to your website or an image hosting site such as flickr.
• Know your stuff
You will see from the magazine that we publish a lot of technique articles – mostly how to use the many features of EOS cameras. Our in-house writers are, as you would expect, well versed in this area. We are looking for contributors with specialist knowledge. Send an email with an outline of your idea. We will let you know if we are interested.
• Follow the formula
EOS magazine has its own picture library, currently with over 21,000 images. If you think that you keep seeing images from a small number of photographers, you are right. These are the people who have worked out what we need – images that can be used to illustrate techniques, often as before-and-after or with-and-without comparison shots.
• Be patient
Do not submit a few images to our picture library and expect to see them published immediately. The more good images you send the more likely we are to use some of them. Just three photographers account for over 6000 images in the library – nearly a third of the total. They have worked out what we need – and one regularly sends horizontal and vertical images of the same subject to help with our layouts.
So do your research, plan your shots and make sure you keep it EOS.
Who knows? It could be the start of something good.
• Any questions?
If you have any queries about submitting work to EOS magazine, written or pictorial, just send an email to email@example.com .

Canadian retailers are expecting billions in revenue this holiday shopping season, but the low-paid retail clerks and cashiers who ring in those sales might wish their employers left their stockings a little fuller.
Nearly two million Canadians will be working in the retail sector this holiday season and one-fifth of those workers earn the minimum wage – a number that has almost doubled since the late 1990s.
Overall, Canadian retail workers earn an average wage of $14.15/hr. And six in 10 retail workers earn below $15/hr, generally considered the floor for making ends meet in Canada.
However, the living wage tends to vary from city to city. Workers in Toronto need to earn $18.52/hr to make enough to live on, and they'll need $20.68/hr in Vancouver, $20.10/hr in Halifax, $18.15/hr in Calgary or $14.07/hr in Winnipeg, to offer a few examples.
But this doesn't need to be the case for retail workers.
In Sweden, 90% of workplaces are covered by collective bargaining agreements and 60% of retail workers are unionized – Swedish retail workers earn 40% more than Canadian retail workers, they receive greater overtime pay for working holidays and weekends and they also receive five weeks paid vacation too.
And although more Canadians now work in retail than any other sector, only 12% of retail workers belong to a union.
A recent CIBC report warned the quality of jobs in Canada are "deteriorating," with more and more Canadians finding themselves in low-paying part-time jobs.
The growth of precarious retail jobs also coincides with the decline of unionized manufacturing jobs, particularly in Ontario where the manufacturing sector shed 300,000 jobs between 2004 and 2012 alone.
These shifts are also driving inequality within Canadian cities too – not only between knowledge and service sector workers, but within the retail sector as well.
Social policy expert John Stapleton notes that while high-end retailers (Nordstrom and Saks) and low-end retailers (Dollarama) are "booming" in Toronto, middle-end retailers (Target, Sears, Future Shop) have been "turned into a wasteland because an anemic demographic cannot support what it's selling."
Not only does that help explain the growth of the "working poor" in Canada's cities – it could help explain why some analysts are predicting this year's holiday retail sales will be "fairly flat" compared to previous years.

These days, the sun rises increasingly late over Tiree and sets increasingly early. Unusually, for a Thursday, it is calm and bright – quite a contrast indeed! It is a delight to walk, even if the hours of daylight are restricted. A favourite walk takes in the old harbour at Scarinish, the lighthouse, the machair and the pier. When we left home the MV Clansman was already alongside the pier. Looking back from the Post Office and across the machair and Pier View we could see the ferry. Continuing on our walk we could see the Clansman heading out of Gott Bay into the Passage of Tiree, as it made its way towards Coll, then Oban. What a difference blue skies make.

Sydney Dumpling King, BurwoodThursday, December 19, 2013
Are you someone who love lingering over long lunches, or more the person who opts for a quick, fast meal when it comes to lunchtime? I guess it depends on your day's agenda and current circumstances, but I love doing both. Whether its going out for a family dinner of pizza and pasta, or a quick bowl of Pho for Sunday lunch, weekends are always the highlight of my food week because they're the times when I get to go out and eat something other than a homemade sandwich for lunch. Not that sandwiches are bad, but when you have them 5 days a week they do tend to get a little bit boring.
Whatever tickles your fancy, I find that a number of cuisines either fit into one lunching category or the other. Asian fare, such as Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Malaysian, always makes for a fast, cheap lunch fix, whereas more of the European or Western cuisines - Italian, Greek and modern Australian - will tend to drag out and make for a longer, more expensive and filling lunch. I'm not quite sure whether its the cooking methods of each cuisine and the ingredients they use, or the kind of lifestyle each is associated with, but more often than not it will be the bowl or noodles or rice dish that will take less time to cook and eat than a bowl of pasta or steak and chips. Asian is by far my favourite.
Well, if you can call it a cuisine - there are so many cuisines encapsulated by the term: Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Indian, Thai... the list goes on. And even then, within those cuisines there are sub-regions, each with their own unique cooking style and ingredients. That is the beauty of the culinary world - no two dishes are the same, and there always seems to be something you've never tried before regardless of how many times you've eaten that particular type of food. Being Chinese, I guess I am kind of impartial to the food of my own background, but as a family I find that we like to eat fast and cheap and lunch and splash out on a luxurious pasta, fish or steak for dinner or on special occasions.
Today Mum and I were having lunch together - just us two. It was nice for a change, because aside from the times I go out to visit her at work I never really get to eat lunch just with her. We'd had brunch earlier that morning, so decided to go for a late lunch after a morning of Christmas shopping and tireless walking. We wanted something that was relatively quick and not too filling, so drove up to Burwood for a cheap and authentic Asian lunch.
Interior of Sydney Dumpling King
We'd walked by Sydney Dumpling on a couple of occasions before and I'd heard about it from some of my friends, but we'd never eaten there before. Mum had a bit of a dumpling craving, so we decided to give it a try. The inside of the eatery is simple and each table is fitted out with the standard cheap-Chinese-eatery decor - a tissue box, tea thermos, soy sauce and vinegar bottles and a little metal container of hot, preserved chilli. Colourful picture adorn the walls, depicting some of the many Taiwanese dishes avaiable on the menu.
Pork and Chinese Cabbage steamed dumplings ($9.90/serving of 15)
We look around as we try to figure out what to order, and everything to our eyes looks extremely tasty and delicious. Eventually we decide on a noodle dish and a plate of dumplings to share. But which ones? The menu of Sydney Dumpling King lists 28 different varieties, each coming with 15 dumpling to a serving. There are beef, pork, chicken, seafood and even lamb dumplings on offer, and if you're stuck on which ones to choose from there's a choice of a plate of 20 assorted ones (excluding beef and lamb), or any 2 choices per serving.
Inside the pork & cabbage dumpling!
We chose a more traditional filling of pork and chinese cabbage. They come out steaming hot and upong biting into one I let out a squeal of exclamation as a burst of hot broth spurts out and lands on both the plate and table in front of me. It's seasoned heavily with white pepper and the cabbage adds a much-needed crunchy texture to the dumpling. The wrappers, as we get a glimpse of later on, are house-made, sturdy and thickish compared to some other dumplings. The dumplings are authentic, moreish and very good for value.
Fried noodles with vegetables and chicken ($11.90)
Out of the range rice and noodles dishes there are a number of noodle soups, stir fried and cold noodles and rice combinations, including the crowd-pleaser Taiwanese spiced pork rice and noodle soup. We decided to get the fried noodles with vegetables and chicken (pork is also an option but as we got pork dumplings we went for the chicken instead). The noodles came out piled high on a plates, a mixture of charred, yellow, squiggly egg noodles, bright chinese choy, ombre brown chicken and vibrant strips of julienned carrot. Mmm.... It reminded me of a Taiwanese version of Singapore Noodles - the colours and flavour - which was further enhanced by the smoky flavour given by the wok (what the Chinese call wok hei). I couldn't stop eating these as they weren't heavy or oily at all.
Less than half and hour later we were feeling completely satisfied and utterly full, as remnants of our lunch lay on our plates on front of us, beckoning for one more mouthful. Takeaway containers cost 30c, so we doggy-bagged the rest home for lunch the next day.
The next day we heated the rest up in the microwave for a leftover lunch and found that the dumplings were almost as good as what they were when fresh. The only thing missing was the hot juices that oozed from the dumplings from the steaming process, but the wrappers were just as good rewarmed and weren't tough or heavy at all.
We'll definitely be coming back here for those times when all you feel like are some dumplings and a quick lunch. Situated up on the quieter end of Burwood road, it doesn't experience the busyness that other eateries do, although it is quite popular with the locals. And why shouldn't it be? Sydney Dumpling King, your dumplings truly are royalty.

If you ever wondered how Jeb Bush looks while eating a pork chop, it's your lucky day
Things can get pretty weird on the campaign trail when your every move is a photo opp.
Republican candidate Jeb Bush learned that when he stopped by the Iowa State Fair on Friday.
Wearing an apron emblazoned with the words "pork" and "be inspired," Jeb and a friend bit into some pork chops in front of a crowd.

Bush expressed the absurdity pretty succinctly, according to Politico reporter Eli Stokols.

The autumn's Prudential Regulation Authority changes, coupled with months of rate rise predictions, seem to have had little effect on the cost of buy to let mortgages.
Despite going through another period of change and uncertainty, leading to this month's eventual hike in interest rates, a number of mainstream BTL mortgages are down in cost since August – some for the second successive quarter, according to Mortgage Brain.
With a current rate of 1.54 per cent and 1.89 per cent respectively, the cost of a 60 per cent and 70 per cent Loan To Value two year buy to let tracker, for example, is now two per cent lower than it was three months ago.
By comparison, the cost of a two year fixed BTL mortgage with a 60 per cent LTV (at 2.08 per cent) is now one per cent lower than it was at the beginning of August, while its 70 per cent and 80 per cent LTV counterparts remain stable with no movement in cost being recorded over the same period.
A similar trend can be seen in the cost of longer term products with Mortgage Brain's latest data showing a two per cent drop in the cost of a 70 per cent LTV three and five year fixed BTL mortgage, while the cost of a 60 per cent LTV three and five year fixed, and an 80 per cent LTV three year fixed, all remain unchanged when compared to August 2017.
"With interest rates rising for the first time in just over 10 years, and further increases predicted, this could be one of the last times that our analysis reports reductions in the cost of mainstream BTL mortgages" Mark Lofthouse, CEO of Mortgage Brain, comments.
"While our three, six and 12 month analysis all show potential cost savings for BTL investors, we're already starting to see ripples across the market following this month's rate rise. Our most recent monthly data, for example, shows signs of a number of cost increases when compared to last month and it will be interesting to see how this develops in the coming months."

John Warner and Rudolf H. Scheffrahn2
The compact carpenter ant, Camponotus planatus (Roger), although primarily an arboreal species, is increasingly becoming recognized as a structural pest in Florida. This common name is still unofficial. A smaller, more "compact" and close relative of the Florida carpenter ant complex (Camponotus floridanus and C. tortuganus) and often found living in close proximity with them, the compact carpenter ant is the subject of numerous inquiries to pest control operators in the South Florida area.
Now regarded as exotic to Florida (Deyrup 1991), the compact carpenter ant occurs widely in Cuba and abundantly from Mexico to Colombia (Creighton 1950), and is well-established in Sarasota, Tampa, and east Miami (Deyrup 1991) and in the Florida Keys (Deyrup 1988). Wheeler, in 1932, recorded these ants being in Miami, Ft. Myers and Coconut Grove. Further reports show compact carpenter ants to have reached Lee, Manatee, Monroe and Sarasota Counties (Deyrup 1989), Broward and Indian River Counties (Klotz 1995), and are well established in Palm Beach County (Warner unpublished observations).
The antenna of the compact carpenter ant is 12 segmented, with the terminal segment being slightly elongated and bullet-shaped. The scape is longer than the width of the head. Workers vary in size, ranging from 3 to 6 mm in length. Body hairs on the head, thorax and abdomen are abundant, long and golden, with few hairs on the legs and very few on the base of the scape. There is no stinger. The thorax is evenly convex as is characteristic of carpenter ants. The thorax and head are ash brown and the gaster is blackish, as in C. floridanus, but compact carpenter ants are smaller. There is one petiolar segment. This species is in the subfamily Formicinae, tribe Camponotini.
As with all members of the Order Hymenoptera, the compact carpenter ant develops by complete metamorphosis, going through egg, larva, and pupa in silk cocoons and adult stages. Typically, a single queen will start a new colony, caring for her first larvae until they develop into workers, which then begin to forage for food. Workers then care for the queen and new eggs and larvae. The colony will continue to grow and will usually send out new winged reproductives, or alates, when the colony is two to five years old, depending on environmental conditions. Alates are usually observed from spring to fall, depending on the area and environmental conditions.
As the compact carpenter ants increase in population and range, they are being noticed by wary homeowners more and more over the last few years, mostly foraging on exterior walls. Since this is a day-active ant, they tend to be observed more than other carpenter ants that tend to be nocturnal. Compact carpenter ants are rarely observed inside structures but have been seen entering under doors, cracks around windows and structural cracks and crevices. Unlike C. floridanus or C. tortuganus, alates ("swarmers") do not fly in structures. Both the flight season as well as flight behavior have not been documented in C. planatus.
Workers are seen foraging in very dispersed trails or singly. They are active all day, even in direct sunlight and have been observed feeding on drops of honey on walls with surface temperatures as high as 37°C. (Warner unpublished observations). Foragers have been observed on trees, bushes, along sidewalks, through lawns and exteriors of structures.
The most common habitats are hollow twigs, old termite galleries in dead wood and grass culms (Deyrup 1988) as well as voids in tree trunks and leaf axil bases in palms. Nests are usually difficult to find.
Residual surface sprays will control the common complaints of compact carpenter ants as nuisance pests on building exteriors. If they can be found, direct sprays to nesting sites are recommended. Baits placed along trails will help in reducing colony populations. Caulking exterior openings and weather striping may also aid in control. Read and follow label instructions and precautions before using any insecticide.

Cover, Oxygen Purge System, Apollo 17
Display Status:
This object is not on display at the National Air and Space Museum. It is either on loan or in storage.
Collection Item Summary:
This cover belongs to an Oxygen Purge System used during the Apollo 17 mission that occurred in December 1972.
The PLSS was used for water and air circulation, communications, and oxygen "scrubbing". It weighed approximately 65 lbs. and all the units used during the Apollo missions were left on the lunar surface due to weight considerations.
The OPS was attached to the upper portion of the PLSS. It was used for oxygen storage and circulation. Apollo 17 Commander, Gene Cernan, brought the OPS and its cover back from the surface of the Moon to conduct what was known as a "pop-up" EVA to be conducted from an open hatch of the returning Apollo 17 command module.
NASA transferred this item to the museum at the conclusion of the Apollo program.

Japan's debt is already at about 245% of its annual gross domestic product–or more than one quadrillion yen ($11 trillion).
"Japan's public debt is unsustainable under current policies," the IMF said in a report issued Thursday. "A credible medium-term fiscal consolidation plan is needed ... [it] should aim to put debt on a downward path," FXStreet reported.
The IMF has repeatedly urged Japan to control its gigantic debt. The country is still recovering from a decades-long deflationary period, during which Tokyo borrowed ambitiously to fund programs aimed at boosting growth.
Going forward, the IMF says the world's third-largest economy needs to strike a balance between growth and debt reduction.
For example, the second phase of a consumption tax hike is slated to go into effect in April 2017. That means more money in government coffers, but at the risk of slower growth. The IMF has recommended Japan start working now to find ways to offset that drag on the economy.
Japan also needs to continue prioritizing structural reforms. The country has made some major changes as part of "Abenomics," the economics plan championed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, but more can be done.
A concrete plan would "provide confidence to the private sector about what's the future path of fiscal policy and, therefore, both for consumption and investment that is a positive," said Kalpana Kochhar, IMF's deputy director of the Asia-Pacific Department.
Japan needs to reduce its reliance on a weak yen to reflate its economy, it warned, as it called on authorities to speed up "high impact" structural reforms and prepare for further monetary easing.
"The Bank of Japan needs to stand ready to ease further, provide stronger guidance to markets through enhanced communication, and put greater emphasis on achieving the 2% inflation target in a stable manner," the IMF said.
Under current policies, the central bank won't meet its 2% inflation target in the medium-term, or over a five-year horizon, according to the international lender. After rising to 1.5% in mid-2014, core inflation–excluding fresh food and the effects of the consumption tax increase–has declined rapidly and has been close to zero since February 2015.


text: Grenouille21 #1 Posted January 27 Hello, We are booking a Med sailing, most likely for 2021. I am looking at Apex, and the Sky Suite (and its' related perks- including wifi, bev pkg, and gratuities for guests 1 and 2) sound amazing. However, this is a really port-intensive sailing and I am not sure we will really enjoy the perks. We will be doing excursions through the ship, most likely, so I am not sure whether priority tendering etc. is worthwhile. On the other hand, I am thinking priority boarding/disembarkation might be worthwhile. I know we will have 1 sea day, and we will have 1-2 days where we are on shorter excursions. I know "Is it worthwhile?" is a subjective question, and depends to many on exact cost comparisons etc. But overall, is Europe/Western Med. a place where having a suite and its' associated benefits like priority embark/disembark etc. are going to be well-used? I would appreciate any thoughts from those who have sailed this itinerary. really on any cruise line, with or without suite benefits, and whether you think it would be worth having. Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strategic Leadership
The fiscal stability of a district/county, the safety, security and well being of students, employees, and parents as well as the labor rights of all our employees are paramount.

The PGA Tour's 2017-18 wraparound season gets underway this week with the Safeway Open in California. Brendan Steele is the defending champion at the Silverado Resort & Spa.
Only two weeks after the Tour Championship, the PGA Tour is off and running again for the 2017-18 season. It's the Safeway Open at Silverado Resort & Spa where Brendan Steele defends the title.
The Safeway Open began life as the Fry's Electric Open in 2007 and then became the Frys.com Open. Winners have included Mike Weir, Rocco Mediate and Emiliano Grillo. In 2016, Safeway took over as title sponsor and Brendan Steele was the champion, he finished one clear of Patton Kizzire.
Steele will be back to defend his title and will face competition from the likes of Phil Mickelson, Webb Simpson, Tony Finau and Adam Hadwin. Former champion Sangmoon Bae rejoins the tour with a one-year-exemption following mandatory two years military service in South Korea.
The Silverado Resort in the Napa Valley began life as part of an estate owned by a Civil War general. In the 1960s it was converted into a resort with a golf course by Robert Trent Jones Jnr. Johnny Miller bought Silverado in 2010, together with two business partners, and Miller oversaw an upgrade of the courses on site.
It's set to be very warm this week with temperatures close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Venue: Silverado Resort & Spa (North), California
Date: Oct 5 – 8
Course stats: 7,166 yards, par 72
Purse: $6,000,000
Defending champion: Brendan Steele (-18)
TV Coverage:
Thursday 5 – Sky Sports Golf from 10pm
Friday 6 – Sky Sports Golf from 10pm
Saturday 7 – Sky Sports Golf from 10pm
Sunday 8 – Sky Sports Golf from 10pm
Player Watch:
Tony Finau – Look out for him in the 2017-18 season, Golf Monthly has tipped him as a possible Ryder Cup player next year. He had eight top 10s in the last PGA Tour season.
Phil Mickelson – He showed some fine late season form and then put in a great showing in the Presidents Cup, winning 3.5 points. He recorded a top-10 in this event last year.
Ryan Moore – Last season wasn't his best and he'll look to start this one with better form. He's a talented player and he has finished in the top-10 in this event in the past.
Key hole: 18th. A par-five of 575 yards where a good drive turning from right to left should give the players a chance to get home in two shots. The chance of a closing eagle could see exciting swings at the climax of this tournament.

FREE shipping within New Zealand.
Married 07/05/20
You probably already know Alice Lines from Homestyle magazine, and you are about to love her even more. We talked with Alice about shared family life, travel within the land of the long white cloud, what's cooking, and how she keeps creative.
Zoë: We have always loved the beautiful aesthetic that you carry from your work as editor of Homestyle, to what we see on Instagram of your family life at home with your husband Nick and son Ted. How have you found the experience of working and being a mum?
Alice: Keeping up with the pace of life as a working family has certainly kept me on my toes for the last three years. My partner Nick and I run homestyle magazine together, so there's a lot of criss-crossing schedules as we navigate the week as parents. I'm lucky to have a partner that lifts me up though, everything we do, we tackle as a team.
Zoë: We find a lot of design inspiration from our travels, and love living vicariously through the wonderful travel images you share. Could you tell us about a place you've recently visited and loved?
I was fortunate to do a lot of travel last year (2019) — holidays and work took me to India, Japan and Bali. Each was an immersive and enriching experience in its own right, but what I'm really obsessed with right now is exploring more of our own backyard. I'm making a mental list of the places in New Zealand that we want to get to as a family — the Catlins, Karamea, Hokianga.
Zoë: We're a big fan of ceramics at Z&M and have had the pleasure of attending a few classes as a team, what has drawn you to learning about and creating your own ceramic pieces?
With a lot of my work being computer based, I really started to miss having a physical creative outlet in my life, so a few years ago I started going to the Ceramic College. Having a weekly session booked in helps me sustain the practice, and over time I've slowly replaced all of our tableware, while also experimenting with various processes in hand-building vessels. There's something meditative about working with clay, and it's one thing I do in the week that's just for me.
Zoë: You've recently been inspiring us with your delicious looking food posts! Food can be such a big part of motherhood and a way to connect as a family, are you able to share a recipe your family is loving at the moment?
In our time at home recently, Ted has really taken to assisting in the kitchen. We've been making things together that are easy for him to get involved with — flatbreads, noodle salads, scrambled eggs, but his favourite tool by far is the stick blender! When there isn't time for a cooking session, my go-to hack for quick, nourishing meals is having individual ingredients prepared ahead in the fridge. Every Sunday I'll cook a big batch of grains like pearl barley or brown rice, which can be tossed together with roast pumpkin, kumara or cauliflower, a handful of micro greens, a crumble of feta, perhaps some smoked salmon, and a sprinkle of toasted seeds. All dressed with a good lug of olive oil, two caps of cider vinegar, a teaspoon of Manuka honey, and a crushed clove of garlic, plus salt and pepper. Working mums lunch done.
Zoë: Lastly, do you have any special Mothers Day traditions?
No, but perhaps it's time to start one. It's Ted's birthday this week too, so I'm looking forward to spending the weekend celebrating with our family. We're all hanging out for a bush or beach jaunt, so thats bound to be in the equation somewhere.
We will get in touch with you soon.

Melania Trump upstaged by White House communications director Hope Hicks with chic look at state dinner
It's a fashion showdown in Japan!
Melania Trump attended a state banquet in Tokyo wearing a striking red Valentino dress, but she may have been upstaged by White House communications director Hope Hicks who opted for a chic tuxedo for the glamorous event.
The first lady chose a traditional, floor-length number for the glitzy occasion that she paired with shoes of the same hue. She kept her low chignon bun hairstyle from earlier in the day, while adding a slightly darker shade of pink to match her dramatic look.
See Gallery
Meanwhile, Hope surprised the crowd with a tailored black suit, a traditional white tuxedo shirt and an oversized black bow tie. The 29-year-old completed her look with a statement-making pink color on her lips, a smokey eye and her tresses in a simple blown out style. See her look below:
The dinner was hosted by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the Akasaka Palace in Tokyo to mark President Trump's visit. Hope and Melania are both traveling with the president for his 12-day trip around Asia, which will also see him visit South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines.
RELATED: Melania Trump's outfits as FLOTUS:
See Gallery
Earlier in the day, Melania dazzled in a navy blue Dior number while visiting a group of elementary school kids. She, alongside the prime minister's wife, participated in a fun calligraphy class with the schoolchildren. The first lady was greeted with a warm welcome from the students, evident by the adorable photos above of Melania and the children together.
For more on the first couple's trip to Asia, watch the slideshow above.

Hi all,
I am new here but have been using this site as a way to try and relax my mind! However recently my anxiety has got worse and I needed to reach out. This is a bit messy and I may sound a bit crazy with the amount of symptoms Im feeling!
So about a month ago I began noticing that my heart was skipping beats - these were only a couple a day. However after a week or so I began noticing them becoming more frequent. So now I notice (particularly after I eat) that I have a lot more skipped beats.
I ended up in A&E on the 31st July due to palpitations and chest pain. Had an ECG, oxygen levels checked - all normal. Minus a slightly elevated heart rate. I was told to follow up with my GP if I was still concerned, but they couldnt find anything of concern. So I went to my GP, as the skipped beats continued.
I also have moments in the day where my heart will just start beating so fast and gives a weird weak, uneasy feeling in my stomach!
They did another ECG which came back normal and a blood test. Thyroid function etc normal but my CBC was satisfactory. Of course that worries me but they said its nothing to worry about. Is satisfactory on a blood test normal??
Alongside this, I feel upper back pain, itching all over, headaches and feel like something constantly stuck in my throat! And pressure on my chest...I also have a fear of leukaemia! As I felt I was bruising easily! I had my blood pressure taken and it left Petechiae on my skin! It disappeared after 5 days but that worried me a lot.
I now have itching skin all over, occasional night sweats (not drenching) and not every night but of course I only notice when it does happen and a suffocating feeling, pain (on and off) in my mid upper back and chest pressure. Really fatigued and stressed out!
So all of this is driving me crazy! I keep thinking something is definitely wrong, as I havent felt quite myself for about 5 weeks now!
I am waiting on a 24 hour ECG now but Im also afraid that something else is wrong. Please can someone help put my mind at ease! Anyone else experienced this?

When we were growing up, this dish was on my mom's weekly menu. My sister and I looked forward to it because it was our favorite meal and because it was delicious. Then again, everything Mom makes is delicious. I can remember her weekly menu; stuffed peppers, moussaka, potato stew, bean stew, fish, grilled meat, and baked chicken thighs with rice. Even though we knew it was the same thing week in and week out, we still looked forward to every meal.
The peppers for this traditional Macedonian dish are usually stuffed with ground pork and ground beef mixed in with rice. For the reason that we want to prepare healthier food, I am going to use ground turkey instead. But if you want to try these the original way, go ahead and mix 50% ground pork with 50% ground beef.
You will need:
- 4 bell peppers
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon EVOO
- 1/2 pound ground turkey
- 1/4 cup long grain rice
- 2 fresh ripe tomatoes, 1 tomato diced and the other cut in 4 slices, crosswise (used for sealing the peppers)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion salt
- Preheat oven at 350.
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and clean out the seeds.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, put the peppers in, and boil for 5 minutes.
- Remove the peppers carefully and place in a big baking dish that allows just enough room for all the peppers. Set aside.
- In the meantime begin to prepare the stuffing; Put the onions in a skillet, drizzle with EVOO, and cook for 2 minutes before adding in the ground turkey.
- Cook until the meat is browned and add in the rice; mix well and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes, salt, basil, cayenne pepper, and onion salt; allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the stove and begin to stuff the peppers.
- When finished, place a slice of tomato on top of each pepper to seal.
- Put in the oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- If you're feeling naughty, add a dollop of sour cream on top – YUM!

We'll recommend local showrooms whose Designer German kitchens cost similar to the chains & trade only suppliers. This also applies when the chain store units are in the sale.
They are also better value than the chains for their optional fitting. Their average fitting price is only £1,500 which is less than the chains & similar to what builders charge.
Plus, their prices for appliances & worktops, including granite, quartz, Dekton, Neolith & Corian, are usually similar to online.
Some showrooms also offer pay monthly finance.
"We got a German kitchen for the same price as a Howdens kitchen via our builder!

Below are some examples of the kitchens these showrooms offer:

NWR No. 5: James the Red Engine
James the Red Engine is a fictional anthropomorphic tender locomotive from The Railway Series of childrens' books by the Rev. W. Awdry, and the spin-off TV series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. James is a mixed-traffic engine, which means he can pull coaches and trucks. He has a 2-6-0 ("mogul") wheel arrangement and is engine number 5 on the North Western Railway, the Fat Controller's railway on the Island of Sodor.
He first appeared in the Railway Series in 1946, in the book Thomas the Tank Engine. Books three and twenty-eight are dedicated to James.
In the stories, James crashed on his first day into a field. It was blamed on the wooden brake blocks he was given. James has a reputation for being naughty. Some of the incidents include breaking a coach brake pipe and needing a passenger's bootlace to fix it, crashing into tar wagons, and spinning on the turntable. Despite his behaviour, James is an engine proud of his red paint and is considered to be a really useful engine. He is similar in shape to Edward, except he has six driving wheels instead of four, and his cab is a different shape. He is one of the few engines allowed to pull the Express when Gordon is away.
He is very proud of his red paint and shining brass dome, and so likes to stay clean. He hates pulling trucks, and believes that he should only be used to pull coaches. He thinks himself superior to the other engines, and can be shallow, boastful and arrogant- particularly to Edward, and those engines who appear old-fashioned, weak, slow or dirty. However, on a number of occasions he has found himself forced to accept help from those he has insulted, and is ultimately apologetic.
James is one of the few characters to have their own song (James The Really Splendid Engine) in the TV series, the chorus of which is based on his theme music used in the early seasons.
In the Railway Series, James was for a long time one of the last engines to retain a prejudice against diesels. However, he was forced to admit in the book James and the Diesel Engines that there was nothing wrong with diesels as a whole, and this appears to be one of the few lessons that has stuck.
Behind the Scenes
James first appeared in the Railway Series in 1946, in the book 'Thomas the Tank Engine'. He was painted black at this point. At the request of the publishers, Awdry dedicated the next book to the character. It was in this book that James received his red paint and his personality.
In the book 'The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways', it is claimed that James is based on a rebuild of a Class 27 locomotive of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, designed by George Hughes. However, as with most of the early Railway Series characters, this is a case of retroactive continuity.
Martin Clutterbuck has pointed out that the character also strongly resembles an Austrian Goods engine of the Glasgow and South Western Railway, and Awdry himself used an engine of this class to represent James on his model railway. As with Edward, it is possible that he rejected this prototype for the character's official "biography" on the grounds that an English locomotive would be geographically more likely to end up on Sodor.
Thomas and the Magic Railroad
Susan Roman voiced James in the film, Thomas and the Magic Railroad. He was briefly threatened by the evil Diesel 10 before being teleported out by Mr. Conductor Junior (Michael E. Rodgers).
His Latin American voice actors are Arturo Mercado (1984-1986), Irwin Daayán (1991-1994), Gabriel Ramos (1998-2003), and Enzo Fortuny (2004-present)
James in the Guinness Book of Records
A large scale working replica of James (along with Thomas, Percy, Harold and Jack) was created by BBC Visual Effects (UK) for a 2003 live stage show tour. This battery powered locomotive is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest model railway engine ever built, at 2.64 x 1.5 x 6.52 metres.[1]
"Real Life" James
The Mid Hants Railway repainted one of its engines- a Southern Railway N class- into the livery of James. The engine retained this colour scheme for many years, and participated in the Railway Series golden jubilee celebrations at the National Railway Museum. This engine was the only replica Thomas character to be certified to run on the main line.
It created a certain amount of controversy among railway enthusiasts, who felt that it was inappropriate to paint a historic main line locomotive in such a garish livery. Nonetheless, the locomotive was popular with the railway's younger visitors.
- In the Railway Series, James's whistle valve is in front of his cab on his boiler. In the TV show, the valve is turned on its side and attached to a brass pipe, which in turn is connected to the cab roof.
- In the TV Series, James makes a large number of cameos before his actual debut story. This leads to a continuity error in James and the Coaches.
- In the Railway Series, James was painted black before his accident and was given his red coat to cheer him up; he is red throughout the TV Series.

While I wasn't a close friend of Francine, we chatted on the occasions our paths would cross. Years ago my mom had seen one of her paintings and expressed how much she enjoyed it. Francine painted iconic scenes of the city she loved in a style that was uniquely her own. I had at one point inquired about getting a commissioned piece of the Vallarta Botanical Gardens (my mom's favourite spot in Vallarta) done and we'd discussed what aspects to include – butterflies, of course, or the view from the 2nd floor with the hearts and the hummingbirds, possibly. Then the world went sideways.
Those who loved Francine are invited to a celebration of her life at Langostino's on the Malecon in Old Town on Thursday at 6:30pm. We are re-running an interview we did in February 2017 on page 18. She was a valued member of our community here in Vallarta, her smile and enthusiasm will be missed.
Once again I missed the Taco Feria because of previous engagements, but I hope you made it out to this great event that supports the local businesses. Organizer Edgar Cisernos tells me it was a huge success with about 1500 people chowing down on tacos, drinking the drinks and dancing to the music. It doesn't get much better than that, does it? The next Taco Festival is being planned for July – in case you need an excuse to come back in the summer.
We have a brief lull in big events this weekend but you can always catch a show at Incanto or Act II or for something different enjoy live music on the river at El Rio while tucking into a plate of meaty ribs. Christie Seeley has some information on upcoming shows around the bay and you can find all the details in the back pages the Tribune.
I had a lovely coffee with John Warren and Henry Golas from the IFC at the Rosita Hotel – have you been into their restaurant? It was the first hotel built in Vallarta about 75 years ago, and the interior brickwork is beautiful. Fantastic airflow off the ocean in the dining room. Open to the public for meals and they have a day pass for their small but lovely beachfront pool – 150 pesos includes 100 pesos in credit at the bar/restaurant. Henry is wrapping up his last year as president of IFC, and the board is looking for new blood – if you're interested in supporting over 20 local charities – the IFC could use a few good volunteers. You can find John's email in these pages if you're interested in throwing your hat in the ring.
Plenty going on around the bay. Get out and support our local businesses. Tip generously. Hug your loved ones extra close. Be kind.
Safe travels,

When describing distance from a destination to a non runner, you unintentionally use meters as units of measurement or "laps" instead of mileage.
You know you're a runner when…
Here is an ode to running not being the prettiest of sports… a sampling of the most disgusting/unbelievable/hilarious things I have found myself and other runners seeing, doing, or thinking; binding us together in the most fantastic of ways.
You know you're a runner when…
- Your first instinct when you are hot is to take your shirt off, even when you are in public… in normal clothes… and "that's totally unacceptable!" say your friends and family
- You are way too comfortable making any nice bush or non-assuming shrub into a toilet… nature calls, it happens to the best of us
- You think spitting in public is acceptable, even when you aren't on a run
- Poop, and other bodily functions, are common topics for you and your running posse
- You find yourself judging periods of passing time based on how far you could run during that time… "Its been 90 MINUTES, I could have done a whole long run by now!"
- You have an ungodly number of safety pins stashed in every pocket and desk drawer you own
- You feel as though you've gone through a spartan like battle with your teammates after every race, you are all survivors (particularly relatable to XC)
- You have way too many crumpled race bibs, that are supposed to be sentimental, but are just collecting dust somewhere
- Your mouth doubles as your very own personal fly catcher
- You have experienced the conundrum of being so close, yet so far from the bathroom… Do you risk it all and run faster to get there sooner? OR take longer to get there but go at a much less stomach jarring pace?
- You have raced hard enough that you may have found yourself briefly losing control of your faculties at the end of a race
- You have cried tears of joy at the end of the race because you have just survived the terrible trauma that you like to call "your sport"
- Somedays you don't feel like running, but the minute you get hurt and can't run your world is ending
- You would do unspeakable things for this sport
How do you, sometimes regrettably, know you're a runner?
16 thoughts on "You know you're a runner when…"
When I'm the only one outside doing anything in the dead of winter, and I have ice cleats attached to the bottom of my shoes, and my glasses are fogging up to the point of blindness every 5 minutes… that's when I know I'm the biggest idiot within 5 miles. But that's what being a runner is!

DILL, ICELAND, 81 p
In a former barn, where the light has a near biblical quality, Nordic food is created from the island's best produce – in a manner so competent that foodies come to visit from all over the world. The menu has its' own style, and the flavors are multidimensional. Beautiful, Icelandic china harmonizes well with the dishes, that are rooted in nature. The wines are first and foremost natural. Although they – for obvious reasons – aren't local, we get to taste Swiss wine by Icelandic winemaker Hoss Hauksson, Horn, Hauksson Wine, Kerner 2017, with one of the dishes.

New movie team hit great success with innovative publicity campaign
The modern age that is all but completely digitized its pretty difficult to get the attention of the movie audiences especially for a project that has new faces in the cast. A new team for their film titled 'V1' has run an innovative publicity campaign that has paid off well for them.
'V1' is apparently based on child abuse and hence the team posted an image on Twitter in which two words related to the burning issue is hidden. Many users were able to decipher the words "Bad Touch" which started trending on the microblogging site making the campaign a huge success. A winner has been chosen by the lot method and was awarded an air conditioner.
'V1' is directed by actor Paval Navageethan of 'Vada Chennai' fame with debutantes Ram Arun Castro and Vishnu Priya supported by Vijesh, Mime Gopi, Gayathri, Linga, Monica, Manisha Jith and others. Music is by Ronnie Raphael, cinematography by Krishna Sehkar TS., editing by C.S. Premkumar and produced by Aravind Dharmaraj, N.A. Ramu and Saravanan Ponraj. The film hits the screens on December 6th.

Personal Diary of a Dominatrix – Stories from My Life – Thoughts on BDSM and Phone Sex
March 1st, 2010
I've spent most of the day lying around with next to nothing on… just a bra and panties, and these sexy stiletto heels that have put me in such a playful, teasing mood. If you were here with me, I could do such naughty things to you with my feet… but since you're not, I've decided to post an erotic audio telling you all about how I'd play with your naked body if you were here with me right now. I've been wanting to record a sexy foot tease for my femdom erotica, and this fetish audio is just perfect, especially since I'm really worked up right now myself. Women don't wear high heels just to tease men… we love how beautiful and sexy they make us feel too […]

The first of my new erotic audio stories is a sexy tease telling you all about how much I've missed our femdom sessions… and how I have such nasty plans for you when next we speak. I've put the time I've been away to very good use, letting my mind run wild with wonderfully perverted things I want to do to you. I'm going to tear into every inch of your naked body to make up for all the lost time ~grinz evil~. If you really knew what I was thinking, you'd be scared shitless but your cock would be harder than it's ever been before [...]

Cognitive dysfunction syndrome in older dogs
Ever walked into a room and wondered why you went in there in the first place? I know I have, and at 50 years old it seems to happen more and more! This is part of normal ageing, along with creaky knees and my silver fox hair. Not every person (or dog) ages the same way & sometimes we see changes that are more severe than those of normal "healthy" ageing.One of the more common questions I get asked by the owners of geriatric dogs is "do dogs go senile?" The answer is yes they can, although we call it cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS). Cognition is the mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience and the senses, dysfunction simply means it is going wrong!
The age at which a dog becomes geriatric will depend on the individual, and factors such as breed, but is generally about eight years of age. It is important to realise that geriatric dogs will be less active and rest more, this is normal healthy ageing. What we see with CDS are behavioural issues which may affect the pet's welfare and the human-dog bond.
Possible symptoms include disorientation (sometimes the dog doesn't seem to know where he is even though he is somewhere familiar) and reduced interaction with the family, which may lead to fear or irritation. Disturbed sleep, for example becoming restless at night and sometimes crying at night for no apparent reason. You may see loss of housetraining and an increase in anxiety levels. In severe cases these changes strongly resemble senile dementia in old people, and can be very distressing for the dog and owner.
What can be done to help? It is important to realise there is no such thing as a cure for CDS. However a number of things can help.
- Drugs – the most commonly used drug is Selegiline .This is an enzyme blocker which increases levels of helpful chemicals in the brain such as serotonin and dopamine
- Diet- there has been a lot of research into "healthy brain" diets. As the brain ages it becomes less able to use glucose as fuel. By suppling diets that are rich in certain fats called medium chain triglycerides, we can fuel the older brain more efficiently. Also correct levels of Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins B C & E and other ingredients such as Arginine can improve blood flow to the brain, reduce inflammation and help reduce free radicals which damage the brain.
- Enrich the environment – It is important to give plenty of attention and interaction to geriatric pets. Most older dogs will still enjoy walks and play, although maybe not so energetically as they did in their youth. Make sure beds are comfy and warm as older dogs will spend more time in them. Puzzle type dog toys can also be useful just as Sudoku and crosswords are helpful in keeping our human brains active

Although simplistic in design and comparatively less functionally diverse, flat weight benches are some of the cheapest packages in the current market. Durable, portable, lightweight, sturdy and resilient, a flat bench is a picture perfect exercise tool meticulously designed for your home gym. But with the market now flooded, our main agenda is all about helping you find the ultimate flat weight bench. Luckily, we have some good news for you!
After spending countless hours researching and consulting with numerous experts as well as bodybuilding enthusiasts, we have come up with a final solution to finding your ultimate utility weight bench. Meet the Marcy Flat Utility 600 lbs Capacity Weight Bench!
Unique Features Available
If you are after an economy weight bench offering a mix of strength and simplicity, the Marcy Flat Utility SB-315 would be a great choice. Uniquely built with a 14-inch square steel frame tubing, 2.5-inch heavy duty foam padding complete with a designer synthetic leather cover, the package is nothing close to your typical flat weight bench. As a matter of fact, Marcy Flat Utility 600 lbs Capacity Weight Bench is a highly evolved fitness machine that not only guarantees full body workouts but also captures dozens of other crucial aspects including comfort, stability and easy to move around.
First and foremost, the bench measures 41 by 14.5 by 17 inches and weighs just only 23.8 pounds which forms a perfect size machine ideal for your home gym. While the miniature dimension is a great bonus for individuals running low on space, SB-35's lightweight design ensures a portable package that you can easily put away after use.
From a glance, the Marcy Flat Utility 600 lbs Capacity Weight Bench may seem like a misfit in comparison to its massively built and sophisticated counterparts. However, in terms of functionality and resilience, you will be amazed to find out that it is a stallion when it comes to brute force. Boasting of a thick steel structure measuring a staggering 2 by 4 inch complete with an extended support base, this flat bench is capable of 600 pounds maximum weight capacity and provides optimal stability thus minimizing the wobbling effect especially when balancing weights.
An idealist for both beginners and experts, the Marcy Flat Utility 600 lbs Capacity Weight Bench comes with numerous interesting features. Key highlights include:
- Improved durability
Inclusive of a heavy duty steel construction and a heavy-duty 2.5-inch pad complete with a tear resistant outer cover, the utility SB-315 is not only a sturdy weight bench but also a tough machine built for longevity. While the lugged outer cover fully insulates the soft comfy inner core of the pad, its steel frame has a powder coat finish which helps resist rust and water damage.
- Lightweight design
If you are after a convenient weight bench which you can easily move around the exercise room, the Marcy Flat Utility 600 lbs Capacity Weight Bench would be a great choice. To achieve a ridiculously light bench without sacrificing the aspects of tenacity, this fitness machine comprises a tubular steel frame strongly bound together with precision welding and heavy duty screws.
Generally, this produces a compact package weighing just only 23.8 pounds while still offering a high weight capacity of 600 pounds.
- Space optimizing design
While Marcy Flat Utility design focuses on providing you with a simple weight bench within your price range, it lacks the sophisticated folding mechanisms available in its more costly counterparts. Nevertheless, with its greatly reduced dimensional design of 41″ by 14.5″ by 17″, the machine occupies very little space which helps maximize on both storage and workout room.
- Powder-coated finish
Reinforced with powder coating, the Marcy Flat Utility Weight Bench resists wear and tear from heavy use and strenuous workouts, guaranteeing you an excellent, long-lasting investment for your home gym.
Why Shoppers Love this Flat Weight Bench
A seamless option for a typical home fitness facility, this incredible weight bench allows you to enjoy intense workout sessions at the comfort of your house. Besides providing an irresistibly ergonomic platform for a wide array of exercise, Marcy Flat Utility 600 lbs Capacity Weight Bench is a picture perfect resting perch where you can sit, relax and replenish in anticipation for the next routine.
Boasting of a simple and reliable design, the package showers trainers with dozens of benefits and advantages like:
- Affordability

- Anti-slip base footings
It is fitted with rubber footings complete with deep threads to provide maximum surface traction which helps keep trainers safe
- Improved Portability because of its lightweight design and very easy to store as it is relatively smaller in size.
