Dasha Fedorovich (Russian: Дарья Федорович) is the Soviet Union's central logistics and communications management officer to the top Axis and later Pact leaders and commanders. Born to a poor family whose 10 children all willingly enlisted in the Soviet armed forces, Dasha was singled out as the most talented of the lot. Her talent was so great that Premier Cherdenko himself took notice of her. She now serves as an essential link between Soviet commanders across multiple fronts. Absolutely loyal to the Soviet cause, she showed even more remarkable loyalty to the Soviet General she was assigned to during the war. She

Passion-Based Learning from Amir Ahmad
I'm a BIG fan of basing your learning on your passions. My personal opinion is that true learning only takes place when we're passionate about the topic. So I was excited to find a new blog written by 21 (!) year-old Amir Ahmad called Passion-based Learning.
Right out of the gate he has two great pieces, one on 7 Easy, Powerful Steps to Create a Personal Learning Environment (which, of course, fits right in with my own interest in this), as well The Ultimate List of 50 Kick-Ass Blogs to Boost Your Learning Experience. Amir's just getting started, but he's already doing some great stuff. I also love that he's so smart already--he completely gets the need to be self-directed in your personal and professional development. And they say Gen Y is lazy!

Drake and his OVO fam are teaming up with Cash Money Records to present "Welcome To The Family", a series of pop-up shops in six cities across North America. As with his previous pop-up shop venture, details are limited as fuck beyond the poster you see below. However, if you recall from the last time around, Drake opened up the Nothing Was The Same shops five days before his album came out so it is safe to suggest that these shops may be a promo tool for the five unreleased songs Drizzy has been promising the last few weeks. Fans in Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles will be able to shop the gear from December 14th-24th while secondary shops in Chicago, Miami, and New Orleans will only have the 14th to cop from the shop. Stay tuned for more details on this!

Facebook. It's an interesting microcosm that teeters somewhere between the worlds of high school drama and creepy voyeurism. With very little work, people are able to link to the lives of friends and family that they haven't seen in years. Decades, even. Peering into their daily minutiae remotely. Tuning in and out within seconds. It's the abridged version of friendship, removing all of the unwanted parts of human socialization such as making eye contact and hearing people talk. It's great.
However, there are underlying problems which emerge from this seemingly innocuous website – the innumerable grudges you hold against people who don't like the things you post. More specifically, pictures you post. Of your kids. Doing cute things. Because, goddamnit, you know your kids are the best and you want the entire world to know it too!
Sure, it would be kind to allow for the benefit of the doubt. Said person is, after all, your friend (or, at least, someone possessing a quality that makes you hate them a little less than an enemy). So, you try to be understanding. You think, maybe they didn't see your pictures. Maybe they got lost in the enormous feed from their 536 other "friends." Maybe they were having a "screen-free" Wednesday. Maybe they were busy. Maybe they found a real life to lead. Maybe you're not the center of their universe.
Alas, you would be wrong on several of those assumptions, namely because you know their type. You have cyber-stalked them via the modern stage just enough to know that they are not that strong-willed or interesting. No, they've been on the site. They just didn't like your shit.
Everyone has at least a couple of people like this in their realm. The person who lives and breathes Facebook. They login every day from work. From the post office. From the grocery store checkout. In the middle of their kid's soccer game. In the middle of traffic. In the middle of workouts. They are addicts!
Their posts are random, scattered across a day in an indecipherable pattern. Sometimes at noon. Sometimes at 5:30 p.m. Sometimes at 3:00 in the morning. They don't want to miss a beat and they are always "in the know." They are the Gladys Kravitz of their day (kids born before the "Bewitched" era or Nick-At-Nite might need to look up this reference).
Occasionally they post their thoughts on some reality show finale, or share an article they read on the Yahoo front page, but mostly they just "like" a bunch of stuff. They give out that cyber thumbs-up like it's going out of style. To anyone and everyone. Almost as if they were cyber-whores seeking the twisted approval of others. They give props to just about any bit of trite and mundane news to come across their screen. "Joey ate tacos for lunch at that new Mexican restaurant yesterday." Like. "Sports team X really needs to step up their game if they want to make playoffs!!" Like. "Here are some pictures of a bird I found on the internet." Like.
Yet, in the short span of a year, when you have been selective and thoughtful in your posts, sharing only the best 10 pictures of your kids, you get nada. Zip. Nothing. So, what gives?! It's always hard to pinpoint their reasoning. No one knows what goes on in someone's head; but, you're up for the challenge and you start to analyze them anyway.
Maybe you didn't "like" their kids' pictures enough. But why would you? Their kid is hideous and annoying. And he ripped up your favorite scarf and puked on your new wood floors. Besides, you still hit that beloved button on some of the things they post. Even the lame things. Such as that picture of them at the baby shower you weren't invited to attend. Or a piece of cheesecake they "made." No, there must be more to it than that.
Maybe they hate you because you look better in Capri pants than they do. Maybe they are jealous because their new baby looks more like Jabba the Hutt than any infant reasonably should (and yours, of course, doesn't). Or even, possibly, they just don't like your politics. Or your religion. Or your lack of politics. Or lack of religion. They find you detestable but, because they live under the delusion that they are "good people," they give you the ultimate favor and act like you're their friend. You know, because life isn't already overflowing with pretentious assholes and posers. Plus they think you'll never figure it out. Their hatred of you is invisible, so they have come to believe. From their standpoint, that deafening silence that radiates from their invisible cyber-disdain doesn't even register as any sort of social faux pas. They assume you are too busy to notice. Well, think again, Frenemy!
You're onto them! You know they don't like you. And you have Facebook to thank for that. In addition to this new-found truth, another thing becomes glaringly obvious – you think they are a dick (even more than you did before). And despite any pleasantries and fake smiles you wear for them in public, you secretly, silently loathe their very existence just as much as they loathe yours.
The social gloves are off. Facebook has opened your eyes to the true, inner nature of people with whom you associate. And, once you have seen the light, there is no turning back. There isn't a grand show of affection, a sincere act of kindness, or a humble moment of humanity that can turn back the tide of their absence in your profile. Things will forever be different. Even if only in your mind.
Besides, what's the good of humanity without judgment, resentment and hatred for petty reasons? It was the foundation for great things such as the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisitions, the Maury Povich Show and Yelp. It's the one aspect of mankind that will never find itself removed from the evolutionary conveyor belt of life. It's here for keeps. And Facebook is but one mere tool aiming to prolong its inevitable existence.
So, what happens now? Where do we go from here? There is really only one decent option – keep posting those pictures of your children. Do it with wild abandon. Stage the most adorable, cheek-pinchingly cute pictures of your munchkins and their angelic/photogenic faces. Add witty captions. Make it a weekly habit. Fill up your feed. Do it until people start unfriending you or removing your posts from their feed (not like you'll notice, right?!). Do it like it's going out of style. And, just when you can't keep up with this demanding schedule any longer, remove the silent friend and/or friends from your Facebook register. Forever. And play dumb if they ever mention it to you.
Of course, with that said, this plan goes out the window if these insipid specimens of humanity finally give you a thumbs up. Hate them or not, getting cyber approval – ANY cyber approval – still feels pretty darn good! And, believe me, that is a human trait much more shameful than hatred.

Adult Film Workers Call Rudy Giuliani's Attack on Stormy Daniels' Credibility 'Dangerous and Dehumanizing' (Time)
One of the few times I've made money as a photographer was when I was helping a friend of mine document her performances at a weekly gathering of artists in Bowling Green, just south of Toledo. The pay was minimal, and under normal circumstances I would've happily done the photography for free, but I wasn't doing any teaching work at that moment and I kind of needed the money. I've always been more of a nature photographer, so I was pushing my boundaries by photographing my friend as she performed, and the fact that the performance venue served alcohol made me more than a little uneasy (we both dealt with our fair share of drunks while we were there), but it was definitely a rewarding experience for me.
A variety of electronic dance music was played at that venue during the performances, and it was during that time that I had my first significant exposure to dubstep. I'd heard bits and pieces of dubstep over the previous couple of years, enough to let me know that I probably wouldn't care for it, but I still kind of appreciated the fact that I got to listen to hours and hours of dubstep while I was doing all that photography. I didn't wind up liking it any more than I had before, but I did gain a better understanding of the genre than I would have otherwise gotten on my own, and I became better at articulating why dubstep isn't my thing than just saying, "I don't like wubs."
More to the point, despite my own feelings about dubstep, I've never once said "dubstep sucks" or anything along those lines. My personal tastes in music may be far removed from dubstep (and where they meet, there are genres of EDM that meet my needs much better, like chillout and trance and liquid drum 'n' bass), but I don't begrudge anyone else for liking dubstep. I'm certainly not going to fall into the whole "this isn't 'real music' at all" trap, not only because I strongly disagree with the mere premise of such arguments, but because I heard those exact words way too often when I was younger and listening to the kinds of music that I still enjoy to this day.
Art of any kind is incredibly difficult to make. Perhaps my own experiences writing and performing music when I was younger helped shape my beliefs about the validity of every genre of music, but I think that process is true for all kinds of art. Although there are many reasons to worry about what the loss of art programmes in American schools has meant for recent generations, one of my more personal concerns is that younger people who haven't had the means and opportunities to pursue art don't really have an understanding and appreciation of everything that goes into both the creative and performative aspects of making art. Instead, many of us artists wind up becoming the targets of attacks riddled with untruths and internal conflicts, with people claiming that making art isn't "real work" and we artists "will never make real money" at what we do, all the while fighting the stereotype that we sit in bed eating bonbons all day, occasionally making something on our laptops during commercial breaks from our soap operas, and somehow getting million-dollar royalty payments every year from that.
I first heard of Stormy Daniels' name as a result of this current controversy she's wrapped up in, and I'm in no hurry to look at her body of work in the genre she was previously most famous for. In all honesty, I never understood that genre since my friends first started stealing my father's issues of Playboy from the garage and took them out in our backyard to page through, behind the fence that marked the area where he kept his old dune buggy. My friends would ogle the pictures of naked women, and I'd just be like, "What's the big deal? It's just a naked body." Granted, I was still several years away from puberty when this happened, but the whole "ooh nakie" thing just isn't something that I identify with.
Just like with dubstep, though, I don't hold any ill feelings towards people who do get something out of naked adult bodies; if that's your thing (and the bodies in question have given their full, fully-informed and enthusiastic consent), more power to you. Even though I'm probably never going to seek out Stormy Daniels' on-camera performances (or the directorial work she's also done in erotic videography), I can still respect her as both a performer and a creator, because above and beyond the dangers that sex workers face, I know how difficult being an artist is, even if I've never made (and never will make) that kind of art.
On the one hand, Rudy Giuliani saying that he can't "respect" Stormy Daniels because of her profession shouldn't be surprising at all. For those of us who knew of Giuliani before the whole "America's mayor" schtick, we remember all too well how wretchedly he acted in public office before the combination of a cancer diagnosis and being the Mayor of New York City on 2001.09.11 suffused him with a Reagan-esque impermeability. Even if he'd left public life permanently at the end of his mayorality, Giuliani would still be remembered by many of us for the decades-long campaign of terror against African-Americans in New York City that he and his successor enabled, a blight that the city is still recovering from to this day. For that alone, Giuliani deserves no respect, let alone the authority to claim who does and doesn't deserve respect because of their profession.
At this point in American history, though, all these attacks on erotic performers are contributing to an ever-thickening miasma of oppression that is literally suffocating a significant portion of the American public. As much as conservatives may talk about "family values" and banishing all art that they group under the dreaded p-word, they'll never actually do that because they need the power of guilt (which makes people nearly as malleable as the power of fear) to manipulate those who feel nauseated or outraged by the displays of sexuality deemed "acceptable" in American culture. The fact that I am now caught up in this slow-motion sting, just because I wrote a literary novel about sex workers that happens to have the word "prostitutes" in its title, means that I've got some obvious skin in the game; even if I was still able to promote and sell my novel like I could earlier, though, I have too many friends who fall under the broadest definitions of "sex worker" who stand to be severely damaged by the actions the Trump Administration has taken, and the culture it has created, to stand idly by.
Many of us can see Rudy Giuliani's bloviating for what it is: A public relations smokescreen to take up news coverage that might otherwise be spent on reporting things like the treatment of immigrant children by our nation's law enforcement, and Republicans moving to end health insurance subsidies for American children, and a plethora of policy and legislative moves that are getting lost in the daily flood of "news" and scandal. Sex workers, and those of us who support them, may not be the hardest-hit targets of these actions, and just like dubstep, we're not exactly everyone's cup of tea. Just like everyone else, though, we have a right to exist, and we need to see an attack on one of us as an attack on all of us. I may not be interested in Stormy Daniels' work as an artist, but I certainly believe she is worthy of respect from everyone, and I damn sure respect her a hell of a lot more than I do Rudy Giuliani or Donald Trump. For her, for me, and for everyone we know who is involved with sex work in some capacity, we can't allow Giuliani's pablum to go unchallenged.

How to Harvest Blueberry Seeds
Blueberries are a nutritious treat, loaded with antioxidant vitamins that are beneficial to your health. If you enjoy gardening, you may want to plant your own blueberry bushes from harvested seeds. Blueberry seeds can be harvested from fresh berries on plants, from the produce section at the grocery store or even from frozen berries in your grocer's freezer. When you plant blueberries from seeds, it can take up to two years before the plants produce fruit.
Put 3/4 cup of blueberries in a blender and add 3/4 cup of warm water. Select healthy, ripe blueberries.
Blend the blueberries for 15 seconds. Let the berries sit for five minutes. During this time, seeds will go to the bottom of the blender while pulp debris separates to the top.
Pour the debris off the top of the blender very slowly.
Add another cup of warm water to the blender and let the mixture sit for another five minutes. Once again, blueberry seeds that are viable will float to the bottom, and pulp and debris will remain on top.
Empty the pulp off the top again, very slowly. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there is nothing left in the blender but water and blueberry seeds.
Pour the blueberry seeds into a fine mesh sieve. Use a sieve that's woven small enough that the tiny seeds won't go out through the bottom. Allow the water to drain off the seeds for several minutes.
Pour the blueberry seeds out of the sieve onto paper towels or coffee filters. Spread them out into a thin layer and allow them to dry for three days. Each day, stir the seeds around to make sure they dry evenly.
Plant dried blueberry seeds right away, or put them in a wax or paper envelope and store them in the freezer until planting time.
If you don't have a blender, mash the blueberry seeds by hand in a bowl, then put them into a glass jar and add water and drain as in the steps above. There are around 20 seeds in a single blueberry.

The 5th Riwaq Biennale
Phil Collins
Cinema Sayyara!
May 19–June 16, 2015, 9pm daily
The 5th Riwaq Biennale
June 1, 2014–June 1, 2016
Al Sharafeh – Al Bireh
P. O. Box 212
Khalil Rabah, Artistic Director, Riwaq Biennale
Tirdad Zolghadr, Curator, 5th Riwaq Biennale
Carol Michael Quffa, Programme Coordinator, 5th Riwaq Biennale
Reem Shilleh, Project Coordinator, 5th Riwaq Biennale
You are sitting in a car. Not your own car. You actually have no idea whose car this is. All you know is that it was lovingly placed on the rooftop of a historic building, here in downtown Ramallah. And that you've been watching a 1970s Egyptian Western. A French political musical. An experimental program of artists' film and video. The smell of popcorn fills the air, and the radio dial is a little buttery with your greasy fingerprints.
Cinema Sayyara! is a rooftop drive-in cinema by the artist Phil Collins, commissioned by the 5th Riwaq Biennale. It is the latest model of Collins's Auto-Kino!, which was rolled out in Berlin five years ago. The new film program for Ramallah has been collectively selected by artists, and filmmakers whom Collins invited as guest programmers, as well as by residents of the Beit Saa neighborhood.
The project runs only for four weeks and offers a maximum of 21 seats per night. But if you live nearby, you can watch the program from the street, your balcony or your favorite cafe by using a standard 98.9 FM frequency to tune into the soundtrack on the radio.
Cinema Sayyara! thinks through existing structures in order to produce new forms of public display, and to create new audiences in the process. Its host venue, Beit Saa, is a 1910 edifice newly renovated by Riwaq. Eventually, Beit Saa is planned to join the ranks of the many "museums" in Palestine. But instead of a homage to the past, in the name of some faraway future, Cinema Sayyara! proposes a celebration of the here and now. It suggests that contemporary art, architectural conservation and cultural policy need not be in conflict with dynamic local engagements. And it is ready to spark a sense of curiosity, enthusiasm and collective ownership, within the neighborhood and beyond.
The films have been selected by the friends & families of the neighborhood Islamic Youth Club, artists Emily Jacir, Oraib Toukan & Ala Younis, Subversive Films artist collective, filmmakers Peggy Ahwesh, Casey Asprooth Jackson and Khadijeh Habashneh, Idioms Film production house, curators Rasha Salti and Tirdad Zolghadr, and Phil Collins & Siniša Mitrović of Shady Lane Productions.

I have recently received this woody puzzle toy. What's its name ?
$\begingroup$ It's called a wooden fidget toy/puzzle, though it's not so much a puzzle as a toy for, well, fidgeting. $\endgroup$ – Will Apr 20 '16 at 16:52
$\begingroup$ AFAIK, this isn't a puzzle toy, just a toy. A puzzle toy would be something like a Rubik's cube where you are expected to create a certain outcome. With this, there is no expected outcome, so it's not really a puzzle, only a toy. $\endgroup$ – Munir Apr 20 '16 at 16:52
3$\begingroup$ Co-incidentally, I just saw a peddler selling something very similar to this on my way to work today. In his demo, he quickly shaped it into all the letters from A to Z, one after the other. These toys typically come with a sheet with diagrams of interesting shapes like animals that you can make (similar to Origami). So in a way, it is a puzzle in the sense that you can try to figure out how to make it into something specific. $\endgroup$ – KeyboardWielder Apr 20 '16 at 18:19
1$\begingroup$ If it has no official name, I kinda like your 'woody puzzle toy' name... $\endgroup$ – Tim Couwelier Apr 21 '16 at 15:04
$\begingroup$ Seconding the woody love $\endgroup$ – question_asker Apr 21 '16 at 17:12
The product you have is a Wood Fidget Puzzle manufactured by Toysmith. It is twelve ½" non-toxic stained wooden blocks.
Toysmith only sells this product wholesale to retailers, so there's no official product page for me to link to.
Toysmith is a wholesale supplier to retail stores and promotional markets, we do not sell direct to the public.
That said, this particular toy is often marketed as a stim toy for fulfilling children's sensory needs, rather than as a puzzle.
Here are some retailers who do sell it online:
5$\begingroup$ Sorry, but this isn't the product that OP has. $\endgroup$ – Will Apr 20 '16 at 17:03
$\begingroup$ @Will, why don't you provide an answer, since neither of the existing answers are quite correct (both are close)? $\endgroup$ – GentlePurpleRain♦ Apr 21 '16 at 16:01
It seems to be the Flexi Puzzle made by Brainwright.
However, I think the marketed version is made from plastic, while yours seems to be painted wood.
The Flexi puzzle booklet shows drawings of various shapes with all or just some of the blocks coloured. You then have to copy that, making sure you get the colours correct.

A hybrid blockchain combines benefits of public and private blockchains: an application or service can be hosted on an independent permissioned blockchain while leveraging a public blockchain for security and settlement. It lets application developers get the best of immutability and trust from a permissionless public network while still retaining the benefits of control and performance provided by a permissioned blockchain.
Aergo Chain
The Aergo Chain is a new clean-room implementation of a high-performance and highly scalable blockchain protocol. It includes a number of advanced designs to mitigate key issues currently experienced with existing public and private blockchain protocols.
It includes a lightning-fast smart contract engine with advanced features and frameworks such a distributed version and concurrency control. The Aergo Chain will support parallel throughput networking fabric as well as multi-thread architecture for multi-core and ultra-fast cached memory computer environments.
The Aergo platform ecosystem consists of interconnected, use-case specific blockchains based on the same standardized protocol, divided into two layers: the main network, the permissionless public base-layer blockchain, and layer two, independent permissioned blockchains dedicated towards specific applications and services.
Main Network
The Aergo main network is a permissionless public platform for running fast and scalable blockchain applications in the cloud. It is secured by a Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Delegated Proof of Stake (BFT-DPOS) consensus model.
The public network acts as a central hub for independent blockchains and application development managed and secured by 23 trusted block producers. It provides the functionality for integrating different applications and services on their own sidechains, enabling developers to implement sophisticated business models making use of the complex network topologies in the real world.
In order for application and service developers to leverage the immutability and inherent security provided by the permissionless public network while still being able to practically run an application, they are able to deploy custom permissioned private or public sidechains based on the Aergo Chain protocol. This allows them to still access the enhanced performance, scalability, distributed governance, and confidentiality needed to host real-world applications and compliant enterprise-IT solutions while retaining elements of trust and immutability.
Permissioned blockchains on the Aergo platform use an algorithm optimized for forming consensus under private environments. Leader-based Proof of Authority (LPOA) provides the security and scalability required for running enterprise-grade blockchain applications and services.
LPOA implements a lease-based leadership schedule to delegates for transaction finality and for the elimination of block reorganization possibility. Validator candidates are pre-selected, leaders are elected through consensus among validators, blocks are fully verified by validators in the network, and leadership fallover to alternative candidates is seamless in the possibility of failure.
All permissioned blockchains on the Aergo network can anchor, bridge, and integrate with any other blockchain in the ecosystem seamlessly using the Merkle Bridge through the Interchain Interface. Development and scripting is simple and allows for the use of familiar programming languages like SQL.
Operators of permissioned networks can handle data through a hyper-fast database engine, LiteTree, developed by Aergo engineers. LiteTree is a branchable implementation of SQLite that uses LLVM to achieve high-performance.
To further enhance integration capability, private blockchain deployments form a singular Merkle-tree merged with the Aergo main network. This allows for even more seamless collaboration and interoperability between independent networks.
Merkle Bridge
Aergo uses the Merkle Bridge for interchain communication. The Merkle Bridge is an interoperability protocol optimized for bridging assets and information between blockchains on the Aergo platform. Additionally, it allows for the creation of bridges between Aergo and Ethereum. It uses Merkle proofs to prove and validate the existence of something on another blockchain.
The Merkle Bridge behaves like a multisig contract that signs a sidechain state root instead of individual transactions, as done in other blockchain implementations. Users can make a withdrawal by proving their state. The main benefit is that the token custody is much more decentralized and simple to operate than usual multisig contracts. Other benefits include greater cost-effectiveness, censorship-resistance, security, and simplicity.
Named Account
Aergo contains a name service to translate addresses into easy to remember short names. One name maps to exactly one address. Names are currently fixed to a length of 12 characters. Names include an owner and a destination. The owner is used to determine who can change the name, the destination is the actual address the name should resolve to. In case of normal accounts, these two values will be identical, but they differ in case of smart contracts.
Token holders on the Aergo main network will have the option to stake their tokens and vote on proposals put forth by the block producers. These proposals may look to steer the direction of development of the Aergo Organization's Tech Committee and tune network parameters (i.e., fees, gas price, block producer election). They may even vote for the development of additional token utility. This is part of Aergo's mission to create a truly democratic and self-sustaining ecosystem.
The DAO system will be in-production after the Aergo network passes its Incubation and Acceleration phases, into its Liberation phase.

Preparing to deal with potty training? Help yourself through it by taking advice from other moms. Potty training is arguably one of the more challenging aspects of early child care, but with a little help from moms who have already been through it, you'll be in good shape.
Check out a few very helpful tips:
Signs of Readiness
Look for the telltale signs indicating your child is ready for potty training. Such signs include clutching at the diaper, taking the diaper off, waking up dry, and "holding it" for long periods of time.
Sticker Chart
Use a sticker chart so your little 'un can track their potty progress! Stickers may be used to designate using the toilet, flushing the toilet, wiping, and washing hands. You may also use other rewards if you find they work better, such as time with a favorite toy.
Big Kid Undies
Forgo the diapers and allow your child to pick out "big kid" underwear to wear around the house. If you use cloth diapers, tell your child you're sending them to the diaper fairy, who will give them to babies in need!
Positive Reinforcement
Provide praise and other positive reinforcement when your child uses the potty or attempts to go. Make the child feel very proud via hugs and your undivided attention.
Take a break from potty training if your little shaver isn't quite getting it. Revisit the concept in a few weeks, as it's totally normal for potty training to take longer in some children than others. You may also want to try cloth trainers and pull-ups during this time.
Read with your child when he or she is on the potty to help foster a sense of relaxation and make the process more enjoyable. Also try reading potty training books, which will expose your child to pictures of how the process goes.
Make flushing a fun reward that occurs only when the child goes potty. This also helps make the little one less afraid of flushing.
Be calm and patient about potty training. There's going to be accidents, which is totally normal. Stay calm no matter what to help your child understand going potty is a normal function. Never force training as it will only upset and frustrate the child.
Make going potty a routine, such as first thing in the morning, before and after naps, and before and after meals.
Know of any other great potty training tips?

Sorry... it's the best pun I could come up with right now for this bit of hilarity:
When model Caprice tried using her celebrity status to dazzle a police officer who had just pulled her over for drink-driving, she hoped he would be sympathetic to her.
But the lingerie model was taken aback when the PC asked for her name and, when she replied 'Caprice', he inquired: 'Caprice who?'
PC Flashman told the court that, at first, he did not recognise the superstar.
He said: 'I could see a white female of scrawny build with bare shoulders in her late 30s wearing heavy make-up and she had a reddened spot in the right centre of her cheek.'
He then asked her name and she simply replied: 'Caprice.'
PC Flashman said: "I asked again: "Caprice who?"
'It did seem to annoy her somewhat that I didn't recognise her and she replied in a stern tone: "Caprice."
'I was not sure if that was her first or last name and asked: "How do you spell your surname?"'
Finally, the penny began to drop for PC Flashman when he remembered she had been in a Pizza Hut advert with Jonathan Ross.
The best part? She claims the high breathalizer reading was because she was taking Cipro and not because of the 2 bottles of wine she had that day.

China's steadily slowing economy is doing little for the country's major ports, most of which recorded flat or slightly declining container throughput in the first half and, with little sign of an approaching peak season, some must surely be heading for negative growth this year.
The top 20 Chinese ports handled 90 million twenty-foot-equivalent units in the first six months of 2016, just over 1 percent more than during the same period last year, according to data from the Shanghai Shipping Exchange.
China's port flagship of Shanghai, the world's busiest container port, recorded a 1 percent decline in first-half volume year-over-year with 17.8 million TEUs crossing its wharves, about 134,000 TEUs fewer than in the first half of 2015.
The declining volume could be more starkly seen at individual terminals. According to COSCO Shipping Ports, the terminal operator formerly known as COSCO Pacific, throughput at its terminals in the Yangtze River Delta fell 4.4 percent in the first half.
First-half volume at the combined Ningbo-Zhoushan port complex, the third-busiest container port in China, was actually up almost 3 percent, despite COSCO Shipping Ports' Ningbo Yuan Dong Terminals registering a 34 percent decline in the first six months.
In the Pearl River Delta, China's second-busiest port of Shenzhen, which comprises Yantian, Chiwan, Shekou and Dachan Bay terminals, recorded a 1.4 percent drop in first-half volume to 11.4 million TEUs.
China's manufacturing activity continues to contract with the China Caixin purchasing manager's index falling to 48.6 in June, down from 49.2 in May. Anything under 50 indicates contraction in factory output, and June was the 16th consecutive month that the index has shown contraction.
It was also the weakest reading since March as output fell the most in five months amid a further drop in new orders.
However, when it comes to first-half volume worries, China's ports remain well ahead of regional transshipment hubs such as Singapore and Hong Kong that have recorded sharp declines compared with the first six months of 2015.
Hong Kong's container throughput fell 10.5 percent in the first half, continuing a steady decline that has seen the terminals registering volume declines every month since July 2014.
The container terminals, mid-stream and river trade volume registered 9.16 million TEUs from January to June, with June volume dropping 8.6 percent to 1.6 million TEUs. Although river trade and the mid-stream contribute to Hong Kong's throughput, most of the city's volume is from the container terminals at Kwai Chung that handled 7.24 million boxes in the first six months, 9.2 percent down year-over-year.
First-half volume at the world's second-busiest container port of Singapore was also down, falling 5 percent to 15.9 million TEUs. June volume recorded a flat 0.8 percent growth, although that was down 2.6 percent from that tallied in May.

The Communication presented today sets general principles that any PNR agreement with a third country should observe.
1. Protection of personal data, which aim to protect the rights of passengers:
- PNR data should be used exclusively to fight terrorism and serious transnational crime.
- The categories of the PNR data exchanged should be limited to what is necessary for that purpose, and be clearly listed in the agreement.Passengers should be given clear information about the exchange of their PNR data, have the right to see their PNR data and the right to effective administrative and judicial redress. This helps ensure full respect for privacy and that any violation of privacy will be remedied.
- Decisions having adverse effects on passengers must never be based on an automated processing of PNR data. A human being must be involved before a passenger is denied boarding. This seeks to prevent "profiling".
- Third countries must ensure a high level of data security and an effective independent oversight of the authorities which use PNR data.
- The PNR data cannot be stored longer than necessary to fight terrorism and serious transnational crime, and third countries should limit who has access to the data gradually during the period of retention.
- PNR data may be shared by the third country with other countries (onward transfer) only if those countries respect the standards laid down in the PNR agreement between the EU with the third country, and only on a case-by-case basis.
According to the Commission:
The views on general PNR issues of the major stakeholders, like the Member States, the European Parliament, the European Data Protection Supervisor and the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party, are especially
important in the development of the revised approach on PNR.
2. Modalities of transfer of the PNR data, which aim to provide legal certainty to air carriers and keep costs at an acceptable level: PNR data should be transmitted using the "PUSH" system, and the number of times that data is transferred before each flight be limited and proportionate.
3. Standards on monitoring the correct implementation of the PNR agreement, for instance on review, monitoring, effective dispute resolution.
4. Reciprocity should also be ensured. Information about terrorism and serious transnational crime resulting from the analysis of PNR data by third countries should be shared with EUROPOL, EUROJUST and EU Member States.
As far as I know it's the first time that the Commission embraces the approach to limitations of rights as supported by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the protection of human rights while countering terrorism in his privacy report.
According to the Commission:
Any limitation on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognised by the Charter must be provided for by law and respect the essence of these rights and freedoms. Subject to the principle of proportionality, limitations may be made only if they are necessary and meet objectives of general interest recognised by the Union or the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others.
The monitoring requirement also seems to be better than before, embracing the joint review approach.
It is essential that the EU is provided with mechanisms for monitoring the correct implementation, for example through periodical joint reviews on the implementation of all aspects of the agreements, including the purpose limitation, the rights of passengers and onward transfers of PNR data, and comprising a proportionality assessment of the retained data on the basis of their value to achieving the purposes for which the data were transferred. The findings of such joint reviews should be presented to the Council and the European Parliament.
A first quick scan of the document reveals three negative points.
The first one is the formulation on 'sensitive data'. Is a 'terrorist threat' the same as an 'imminent threat to loss of life'? And if a 'terrorist threat' doesn't entail 'any imminent threat to loss of life' then what exactly sees the Commission as a 'terrorist threat'?
PNR data revealing racial or ethnic origins, political opinions or religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health or sexual life shall not be used unless under exceptional circumstances where there is an imminent threat to loss of life and provided that the third country provides appropriate safeguards, for example that such data may be used only on a case-by-case basis, under the authorisation of a high-ranking official and strictly limited to the purposes of the original transfer.
The Commission adds that "key notions like terrorism and serious transnational crime should be defined based on the approach of definitions laid down in relevant EU instruments". This formulation is crucial for any potential future PNR agreement with Israel, and – especially – Russia.
A second negative point is the data retention time limit, which is quite vague at this point:
The period of retention of the PNR data should not be longer than necessary for the performance of the defined tasks. The period of retention should take into account the different ways in which PNR data are used (see section 1.2.1 above) and the possibilities of limiting access rights over the period of retention, for example by gradual anonymisation of the data.
Last but not least the Commission's approach to third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data, doesn't seem to have substantially changed as well. This is important, as now the Commission needs to renegotiate the current PNR agreements with Australia, Canada and the United States. The agreements with Australia and the US are being applied provisionally, but their regular application requires the consent of MEPs. In May, the Parliament postponed a vote on the agreements and called on the Commission to draft general standards that apply to all future agreements.
The adequacy afforded by a third country is to be assessed in the light of all the circumstances surrounding a data transfer operation. In this context, the EU will also consider the compliance by the third country with international standards, respectively its ratification of international instruments on data protection and fundamental rights in general. Adequacy decisions already adopted by the European Commission in this regard should be used as guidance on what can be regarded as being adequate.
Jan Philipp Albrecht, a German Green MEP, said that the Commission had "still not fully got the message". "The proposed mandates fail to provide sufficient guarantees to ensure that EU data protection law will be respected, as demanded by the Parliament," he said.
Axel Voss, a centre-right German MEP, said that the agreement with the US would stand a chance of being approved by MEPs only if it included a limited retention period, redress for passengers and a ban on the onward transfer of data to other countries.

"We just do what we say we're going to do." Maybe not the catchiest slogan in the world, but if we had to choose one, maybe it would be this?
Slogans and taglines are all around us, and I am reliably informed that they are a vital piece of the marketing jigsaw, giving customers and potential customers a snapshot of the values you place on your business and in everything you do. From clever plays on words, through inspirational phrases to the downright cheesy, slogans and taglines are hard to avoid and play a major role in our lives.
But for some reason when we started UtilityClick, we never really considered adding one. I think that was the right choice. Looking back, I'm glad we didn't – after all, how can you really attach a slogan to your brand or product when it hasn't been developed yet? Promising excellent service, a top-notch piece of software or a proven track record by means of a few carefully chosen words seems like a bit of a lie when you are yet to build customer base and reputation as a new player.
We've toyed with the idea a few times, and even tested a few in blog articles and social media posts. In truth, they never really felt worthy of our customers and the passion we have to provide our services.
But I was writing a DocuSign marketing mail-out just the other day – and by adding content about the integration we've built for signing LOA and Supplier Contracts, I found myself impressed as to the work we do day in / day out on some of these great new features.
Not that the addition to the system is revolutionary or unexpected, but simply because we've added another feature we said we were going to add, right from day one. I thought back to the list of customers we've sat in front of – promising DocuSign capabilities in the future – and can say with some pride that we went and we did it. Just like everything else we've built in the system so far.
So, whilst it may not end up being UtilityClick's slogan, it's certainly something we'll repeat with customers and future customers for years to come – safe in the knowledge that it's 100% true.

In my blog tagline, I include dreams because my intention was to discuss my own dreams or other writers' dreams (as in my new Author Dream Series) in the literal and metaphorical sense. I do dream and from my sister, who is an dream interpreter, I learned the importance of writing down and exploring my dreams. Sometimes I have vague dreams but recently I had a vivid dream I realized had meaning for me and my writing during this specific time. So I wanted to share it.
Please note I am in no way a professional dream interpreter. The analysis and ideas here are strictly that of an amateur.
The dream I had was the following (edited somewhat for confidentiality reasons):
I am in a house on a suburban street with my family. We have just woken up and I notice that a favorite ring of mine is gone. I'm not too concerned at first, assuming I misplaced it. But my father insists that it was stolen even though there is no evidence that there was a break-in during the night. He sends all of us out into the neighborhood to look for the ring. We find other people are out searching for things they are missing as well. The things weren't very valuable in terms of money (like my ring) but they are still searching for them. We walk around the neighborhood, looking on the ground, in bushes, mailboxes, etc., but find nothing. We come back home and two of my friends are there. I am now feeling very anxious and one of my friends, in an attempt to calm me down, convinces me to do a guided meditation. After we finish, we suddenly see snow falling outside the window, very large flakes of snow. I start to leave the room but then I turn to my friend and tell her I ordered a pack of oracle cards that she introduced me to but I wasn't sure what to do with them. For some reason, this makes her and my other friend very happy and they hug each other. The dream ends after that.
One thing my sister told me about dreams is that they happen at certain times in our lives as a way of telling us something about the present. So when examining a dream, we should look at what's been going on in our present to see what the connection to the dream might be. When I examine this dream, I see two connections for me – anxiety and voice.
The anxiety I feel in the dream mirrors my current anxiety because my debut short story collection, Gnarled Bones and Other Stories is now officially released. I have dreamed of being a published author since I was fourteen, so this is a huge deal for me, as it is for any author, each in his or her own personal way. I grew up in a very patriarchal family where gender roles and expectations were rigidly defined. As the youngest child in the family (technically, since I do have a twin sister) and a girl, not much was expected of me. I was expected to marry a nice Jewish boy (preferably a doctor or lawyer) and have kids, maybe with a small insignificant job just to keep me busy on the side but one that wouldn't interfere with raising children or being a devoted wife. When I was getting my bachelor's degree, a teaching certification program was on offer and both my parents tried to convince me to enroll and I will never forget my mother's argument that "if you become a teacher, your vacation time will always be with your kids." Needless to say, this did not convince me to enroll in the program.
I did none of the things that my parents wanted. My desire to be a writer and a published author was something no one but me ever really took seriously. Because of this, I didn't take myself as seriously as I should have until about a year and a half ago. Now, in my mid-40's, it's almost surreal to see my book in print, to know that people will be reading it (and some have already) and maybe reviewing it, for better or for worse.
But I believe the dream wasn't merely reflecting my nervousness over my first published work but a deeper anxiety that goes to the very core of who I am as a writer. Last week, I finished reading the Sally Cline biography Zelda Fitzgerald: The Tragic, Meticulously Researched Biography of the Jazz Age's High Priestess. I read Zelda's (I'm referring to her by her first name because I don't want her mixed up with her husband, famous author F. Scott Fitzgerald) book Save Me The Waltz quite a while ago and was fascinated by it and by the woman who wrote it and I've always wanted to know more about her.
One thing that struck me about Zelda's novel was that she had an unconventional writing voice. We associate writing in the first part of the 20th century with Modernist writers like Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald who were fighting the kind of ornate, long-winded, and elaborate prose favored by writers in the Victorian era. Their prose was sharp, clean, and trimmed of excess language. Zelda's prose, in contrast, is "bursting with high-flown metaphors and disconnected associations…" (Cline, location 868). It's more than just "flowery". It is colored by strange connections and images that most people don't readily recognize or understand.
According to Cline, this quirky use of language was also characteristic of Zelda's speech. The best known and most revered literary critic of the 20th century Edmund Wilson was a good friend of the Fitzgeralds and described Zelda's speech in this way:
"'She talked with so spontaneous a color and wit – almost exactly in the way she wrote – that I very soon ceased to be troubled by the fact that the conversation was in the nature of a "free association" of ideas and one could never follow up anything.'" (as quoted in Cline, location 1927)
Her use of words was so idiosyncratic that her husband was not averse to lifting them, verbatim, for his novels and short stories.
Cline provides many examples of Zelda's unusual prose. Below is from an article Zelda wrote for McCall's in 1925 titled "What Became of The Flapper?":
"'The flapper springs full-grown, like Minerva, from the head of her once-déclassé father, Jazz, upon whom she lavishes affection and reverence, and deepest filial regard … The best flapper is reticent emotionally and courageous morally You always know what she thinks, but she does all her feeling alone.'" (Cline, location 2661-2717)
Sadly, Zelda's beautifully strange way of speaking and writing became one of the basis for psychiatrists later to diagnose her with schizophrenia.
As I read about Zelda, I had an epiphany. I have experienced similar confusion about my own writing. Sometimes, people reading and critiquing my work would tell me they didn't understand a certain metaphor or they couldn't visualize a certain image. I took a novel writing course in college where my confusing prose came up when we were critiquing excerpts and the professor (a published author), tried to comfort me by saying that he felt my use of language was, at times, "brave". My mother's speech is similar to Zelda's in that she makes sometimes strange associations and gathers pieces of different thoughts that are going through her mind at that moment into her conversation. The result is that people are sometimes bewildered and confused about what she is talking about. My brother calls it "being random". Reading about Zelda made me realize my mother is not being random but has her own way of making associations and connections that is different from most people, possibly because her emotional intelligence dominates her logical thinking.
Going back to the dream, I believe the ring I lose which is causing me so much anxiety is this strange way I have of seeing things and making strange connections that I got from my mother, either by inheritance or learned behavior (probably a little of both). By publishing, I am exposing my writing to the world for their evaluation. I think the fear in the dream is my own fear that I will be swayed into pruning my strange style in an attempt to make my prose is more conventional and acceptable.
I don't think the fact that I don't find the ring in the dream means I will lose that style when I am published because of the oracle cards that appear in the dream. According to this blog post, oracle cards are similar to tarot cards but they are less structured in terms of their amount (tarot cards have a very specific number in each deck with very specific picture cards and suits while oracle cards can differ in their pictures and number from deck to deck) and they are easier to work with because they are more free-flowing. The oracle cards, to me, represent a move towards freedom with language and writing. It might even mean I will become more confident in my writing style, regardless of those who might not like or understand it, and that will allow me to sharpen my craft and expand my writing.
I don't think that it's unusual for me to be very anxious about my first book. I do think it's significant that I had such a vivid dream so close to my release.

James Bond crew 'close to mutiny' after director skipped work to play PS4
Director Cary Fukunaga was "several hours" late to a scheduled shot for the film, setting back an already very delayed film. Why? Because he was busy playing on his PlayStation.
The director, Cary Fukunaga decided to skip work for a few hours to play some video games.
A Bond source told The Sun: "There is real mutiny right now on the set. It's bad enough that Cary was so late for filming and held everyone up, but then for the crew to be asked to work extra hours to cover it was just the final straw."
The director turned up around three hours late for a filming slot, and then asked people to work overtime on the weekend.
"He turned up three hours late which p***ed everyone off. There was a big bust up because they're so behind. Many said they were not willing to give up their Father's Day in return for this film. It's just doomed."

Let go!
Image source
You've fears that hold you back,
Sometimes you seem to get a panic attack.
There are secrets that you can no longer keep,
Sometimes you wish you could just weep.
There is anger and bitterness within,
Sometimes you end up telling things you don't really mean.
You've had a troubled past,
One that you've still not fought past.
No matter how hard you try to forget it all,
Into the depths of sorrow you always tend to fall.
It isn't easy, I know,
But the best you could do is just let go.
The more you cling to the downsides of life,
The more it will hurt you as if ripped by a knife.
It makes no sense to spend a life remembering the sorrowful past,
When we have no clue if today is our last.
So the best thing to do is to just let go,
A better life you will soon know!

How To Make HVAC Equipment Purchases Easier
If your HVAC system breaks, it might very well be the first time you have to think about your system in detail. That is when it becomes important. It can be hard to find a good HVAC contractor. Simply continue reading to learn more about how to go about doing this.
Cleaning the blades and coils will help the system run better. Always turn the unit off before you do anything to it, including leaning. Clean off any leaves or debris from your external condenser unit.
An HVAC system is a really expensive investment. This is why you should do some browsing before purchasing your system. Try to find a good sale so you can get your system at a discount. Check out a couple of sites before making a decision. A great site to begin is www.energystar.gov.
Ask for references and be sure to call them as well. You are dealing with a high ticket item here, so you'll want to do your due diligence to make sure you are getting the best for your money. Ask for references, but don't stop there. Call each reference to check. A lot of people don't take that important last step.
When you buy a new air conditioning unit, don't let the salesperson talk you into too large of a unit. This will be a waste of money and won't efficiently cool your home. The longer a system runs, the more efficient it will be when it's running, so look for one which runs 15 to 30 minutes.
Before you hire any HVAC companies, find out how the amount of time they've been in business. Companies that are around awhile have a better record than those that haven't been. Taking risks is not something that you want to do in this area.
Whether you have an air conditioner in a window or outside your home, be sure to keep it in the shade. The cooler the air around it, and the cooler the condenser itself, the easier a time it will have of keeping the air inside your home cool as well.
Get an estimate before agreeing to have any work done on your HVAC unit. This will help keep you from being surprised by a bill at the end. Any reputable technician should be able to look at your unit, determine the problem and give you an estimate as to how much it will cost to fix it.
Try to stay away from HVAC contractors that ask for upfront payments before they are willing to get started on the work they were hired to do. In many cases, this means that they are more concerned about getting paid than they are about making sure the job is done well.
This article has given you some great tips about HVAC systems that you may not have been familiar with before. These suggestions should help you in understanding your unit and how to repair or replace it. Find the correct system by using this advice.…

Today I'll show you my Kottbullar Swedish Meatballs Recipe. The original recipe comes from a colleague from Sweden.
Köttbullar is a traditional Swedish dish and most of us know the Swedish meatballs from the shopping trip to the furniture store Ikea.
Erik, the chef from Sweden, has created a homemade version of the Köttbullar together with me. This is a recipe refined by his grandmother in a chef's style.
For our Köttbullar cream sauce we use veal stock. Thus the sauce becomes particularly fine and also exists in the star kitchen. In addition, we show a simple variant based on broth.
Be sure to pay attention to the potato variety when making your own mashed potatoes. Mealy potatoes or potatoes that are mainly firm are ideal. This gives your puree a nice consistency. You can also serve the Swedish Pflanzerl with boiled potatoes, which is even easier and tastes delicious!
We prepare the Köttbullar with mixed minced meat. You can also take beef or elk meat. With veal prepared you would have another noble variant for your guest kitchen. Wish you good luck!
1. Prepare Koettbullar in the Oven
You can easily prepare the Köttbullar in the oven. Place the formed Köttbullar balls on an oiled baking tray and cook the Köttbullar at 140-150°C hot air for about 35-45 minutes. I advise against higher temperatures, because otherwise the meat balls can rise and break too strongly.
Due to the selected temperature range the meatballs cook evenly and get a nice colour at the end.
2. Prepare Koettbullar in a frying Pan and Cook Sauce
This is the traditional way of preparation for Köttbullar… Brown the formed meatballs in a pan in oil or as Erik says with clarified butter. Then place the fried Köttbullar on a plate.
The frying in the pan has formed roasting substances, which you use for the sauce. Remove the remaining oil from the pan, add the onion and garlic cubes and prepare a light brown sauce with tomato paste.
Clarified butter produces the typical Swedish Köttbullar taste, says Erik the cook!
Deglaze the sauce with white wine or red wine, add stock or veal stock, bring to the boil and slowly add the cream. You can bind the Köttbullar sauce later with some mashed potatoes.
3. Recipe Koettbullar Swedish Meatballs
The following is the recipe with all ingredients and further tips for your perfect Köttbullar experience!
Here is the meatballs and meatballs comparison:
The Koettbullar are in comparison to Bavarian Meatballs Fleischpflanzerl in the consistency firmer and drier. "Fleischpflanzerl" contain eggs and bread, which makes them fluffier.
The Kottbullar receive the desired binding and firmness by the addition of breadcrumbs.
I wish you good success. Questions about the recipe? Write me about the comment function at the end of the page.
- 400 g big potatoes
- 4 g salt
- 40 g Butter
- 1 pinches pepper
- 1 pinches nutmeg
- 150 ml cream
- 2 pc shalotts
- 10 g Butter
- 1 pc bay leaf
- 500 g minced meat You can use beef/pig, beef, elk minced meat.
- 50 ml cream
- 40-80 g breadcrumbs Reference value! Gluten-free variant: rice flour
- 5 g salt
- 6-8 pinches pepper
- 15-25 g Dijon-mustard
- 50 g clarified butter
- 1 pc big onion
- 1 pc glove of garlic
- 10 g clarified butter
- 15 g tomato puree
- 50 ml wine
- 250 ml veal stock or beef broth
- 5 g corn starch I like to use puree to tie sauce!
- 150 ml cream
- 50 g Butter
- 1 pinches salt
- 1 pinches bell pepper yellow
- 15 g Butter
- 300 g peas green peas
- 4 pinches salt
- 3 pinches pepper
- 40-70 g cranberries Cranberries cofitüre
- 4 pc parsley
- Wash and peel the potatoes, cut into even slices and cook until soft in boiling salted water. Drain the remaining water and season the potatoes with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix the potatoes quickly with a mixer and add the cream little by little. As an alternative to mashed potatoes, boil the potatoes with or without peel in salted water, then drain, (peel), toss in butter, finish with parsley, salt, pepper and nutmeg and keep warm.
- Finely dice the shallots and sauté in butter with the bay leaf for 15 minutes at medium temperature until colourless. Erik told me his grandmother used to do it this way. The bay leaf gives the meatballs a special flavour. Then remove the bay leaf and mix the shallots with the remaining Köttbullar ingredients in a large bowl. Season the meat mixture with salt, pepper and mustard. Form small Köttbullar balls and fry in clarified butter in a pan. Alternatively, you can also prepare the meatballs in the oven, see the note in the article above. Keep Köttbullar warm in the oven at 100°C until serving.
- For the Köttbullar sauce, remove the fat from the pan, finely dice the peeled onion and garlic and sauté in the pan. Add the tomato paste and brown until light brown. Deglaze with wine, add stock or veal stock and bring to the boil. You can bind the sauce now with starch mixed in cold water or later with mashed potatoes. Bring the sauce to the boil, slowly add the cream and season with salt and pepper. Prepare the sauce next to the stove for serving.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan, add the peas and pour in a little water. Season the peas with salt and pepper, cover and cook quickly. At the end of cooking, remove the lid and let the liquid evaporate. Place the peas in the butter stock ready for serving.
- Prepare heated plates, arrange the mashed potatoes, add Köttbullar and cover with the sauce, add peas, serve decorated with cranberries and parsley.

Why Your Company Should Have a GSA Contract
Necessity of having a GSA contract
The federal government is, first and foremost, a business, the largest B-2-B customer in the world. As such, it requires the goods and services of more than 10,000 suppliers of all types. Think of any product or service a normal business would need and the federal government has those needs as well.
Now, more than ever, the federal government is seeking more sources for its needs, companies that offer greater efficiency, better performance, better pricing and more savvy business and delivery methods than it currently has. The government needs new ideas and "tomorrow's" technology today.
Your company is exactly what the government is looking for. You could be selling to the federal government and making more money by supplying your product or service to this huge customer.
However, to become a preferred supplier to the federal government, you need a GSA contract in order to do business with the federal government. And, GSA Proposal.com can help you get that contract.
The benefits of acquiring a GSA contract include:
- Many agencies now require GSA contracts because the GSA schedule program dramatically reduces acquisition lead time, in some cases by nearly one year. If you have your own GSA contract, a federal agency will want to consider your company ahead of companies that don't have GSA contracts simply to make those agencies more efficient and to reduce acquisition costs…and reducing acquisition costs is on Barack Obama's "to-do" list.
- Your rates are negotiated with the federal government and so are considered to be "fair and reasonable". This helps speed the process of getting you an award for work with any federal agency.
- Your GSA contract is considered to have been awarded under a "competitive" process. This is important because FAR requires competition for most acquisitions. Having your own GSA contract allows a speedy award to your company because the presence of a GSA contract satisfies that requirementfor competition.
- Your company has a "seal of approval" for doing business with the federal government.
- Your company has more clout with established government contractors.
- A GSA contract "opens doors" for your company. If you have your own GSA contract, you will be able to respond to solicitations for paying work to which companies without GSA contracts may not respond.
Go to the Getting Started page and get going towards being a supplier of the federal government.
Get the business you've been missing!

CSR01 [Centre Source Records]
Centre Source Records pay homage to their HQ base of Brisbane with their debut release, CSR01. As most Aussies are, the newly formed label are passionate about the wealth of quality dance music coming out of their country currently, and intend on further highlighting local talent across their impending, vinyl-focussed catalogue.
Brisbane expat (now Berlin-based) LVC aka Pat Stewart opens the one-track-a-side release ever-so-smoothly with Things You Do. Hooky house vocals move along an unswerving groove, balanced amongst all-over analogue pads and percussion.

Jorgensen's broad taste in disco, house and techno shines through in his sample-heavy approach, giving Badu Dreams movement and tension a plenty, against its chord-filled breaks and swelling brass work.

He urged Nigerian students to be cautious of fraudsters who are of recent been moving around several institutions with fake student permits.
The acting Nigerian high commissioner to Uganda, Alus Tyoden has hailed the education system in Uganda as one of the best in Africa.
Tyoden, in a speech read by the senior chancellor at the Nigerian high commission, Ojo Olabode while addressing Busoga University Nigerian Students Association at the main campus located in SMS village,Bulamagi sub county Iganga, on Wednesday said the Ugandan system of education is so good that's why several Nigerian students are being attracted to join higher institutions of learning in the country.
He said several students who previously completed pursuing their studies in several Ugandan universities have been comfortably offered job opportunities in the public sector after being accredited by the Nigerian universities commission.
"Whenever I get back to my country, I encourage more students to come here because the education system is one of the best in the whole world," he said.
Tyoden said the Nigerian high commission has embarked on a program of counting the number of students currently enrolled in public universities or institutions of higher learning in the country for purposes of maintaining their safety.
He urged Nigerian students to be cautious of fraudsters who are of recent been moving around several institutions with fake student permits.
He also advised students to avoid engaging in violent strikes while at school which is likely to negatively affect their future.
The deputy vice chancellor Busoga University Busoga University, Elder Ndiwalana applauded government for the support towards improving the standards of education at the campus.
Ndiwalana said the university has received a consignment of text books worth sh450m from government for restocking the main library.
He cautioned Nigerian students to avoid engaging in risky sexual behaviour in order to prevent contracting HIV.
The president national Nigerian Students Association, Ibrahim Masudi warned students against engaging in drug abuse which ruins their lives.
He said several Nigerian students currently studying in Uganda have fallen victims to illegal use of drugs like marijuana,cocanine which has ruined their lives or end up being prosecuted and charged before courts of law.
