Day 1: Marrakech – Agdez
Morning departure at 8 o'clock from your hotel or riad in Marrakech to cross the High Atlas Mountains. After the Tichka pass, you leave the main road and take a side road to the Telouet Kasbah. From there you continue for lunch at Ait Ben Haddou along the newly asphalted connecting road. This is the most famous Kasbah in Morocco and is a UNESCO World Heritage site, which we visit after lunch. Later we continue south to Agdez, where the Draa Valley starts. We spend the night in a Kasbah there.
Day 2: Agdez – Chagaga
After breakfast, there is time to visit the rest of the Kasbah, some of which is still inhabited and other parts crumbling away, before taking the ancient caravan road between the river and the mountains for a short while. On the way, we pass many villages and gardens so that you can gain a better idea of the way of life along the oases. We drive to M'hamid, the gate to the desert, to the dunes of Erg Lihoudi, where we stop for lunch. Here a camel ride of up to two hours is scheduled. Later we continue to the Erg Chagaga dunes (300m) with 60km of off-road driving. Dinner and a night's sleep are in a bivouac of nomad tents.
Day 3: Chagaga – Tata
After breakfast we drive another 90 km across the Sahara over the stony desert, "reg" and "hammada" and across the now dried-up Lake Iriqui. In the middle of this lake, we can search for fossils. At the edge of the desert at Foum Zguid, we turn west along the edge of the desert along the asphalted road to Tata which few people visit. This is the old Algeria to Zagora caravan route and passes oases and the Jebel Bani Mountains, which later give way to the Anti Atlas. In Tata, it is worth visiting the Kasbah and the small museum! where you spend the night in a riad.
Day 4: Tata – Tafraoute
From Tata you head north through a very long gorge following the Tata river and passing through Tiata Tagmoute, a small Berber town, to join the Taliouine to Tafraoute road, which you do at Ighrem. This turns south-west towards Tafraoute in the Anti-Atlas. You pass through the Berber towns of Azoura, Idaoua, Tiguermine and Ait Abdellah. This is not at all a main route taken by tourists and so unspoiled country with stunning views! You spend the night here in this small town of about five thousand inhabitants.
Day 5: Tafrouate – Taroudant
First, there will be the visit to the rock painting and then later you travel to Taroudant called the little Marrakech because of the city walls surrounding it. Taroudant is also famous for its silver jewellery. It is here that you spend the night after crossing the mountain roads along slopes full of argane trees.
Day 6: Taroudant – Marrakech
After breakfast and exploring the town, you travel along the Souss river valley with all its argane groves and orange plantations as far as Agadir. From there you take the new motorway to arrive in Marrakech at the end of the afternoon.
There is a 25% reduction for children under 12 years old and we do not charge for children under 5.

]Traveling alone, an eastern black rhino (Diceros bicornis michaeli) brandishes the two horns on its head at an intruder. Intended for protection, the horns may actually lead to the rhino's demise. Rhino horns are sought after by poachers to sell for their use in traditional medicine. Some cultures also use black rhino horn to fashion high-status dagger handles. A rhino has three toes on each foot.Rhinos have a poor sense of sight and rely instead on their senses of smell and hearing.
The black rhino has a hooked upper lip for grasping and pulling leaves off branches.Males aggressively defend their territories and mates from each other with upper jabs of the horns.Most of the remaining black rhinos survive only in protected reserves.

A test checking for traits of the following personality disorders has just been put online:
- Psychopathy / Antisocial Personality Disorder
- Narcissistic Personality Disorder
- Histrionic Personality Disorder
Even among professionals, there is confusion about the meanings and differences between psychopathy, sociopathy, antisocial and histrionic personality disorder, and much more so amongst persons who sense problems in their relation to others but need orientation on where these problems might derive from. This test tries to assist in checking for traits of each of these disorders separately and then giving separate results for each of them.
To achieve as accurate results as possible, this self-assessment combines screening methods based on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist (used in contemporary research and clinical practice to assess psychopathy) and clinical markers for narcissistic personalities and histrionic personality disorder according to the diagnostic manuals DSM-IV and ICD-10. The test thus has a relatively high potential to achieve reliable results even when done over the Internet – however, it has to be mentioned that particularly for the personality disorders tested, the quality of the result might be lower if the person doesn't answer honestly or is delusional, both parameters that are actually potential traits of a psychopathic or antisocial personality.

As time goes by, I am understanding more and more the immense power video ads have when building a business online.
As a drop shipper, I look for products that people love with a potential to go viral, and it's getting noticeably harder to do with plain old image ads.
Hence why I decided to look for an online video ads maker.
That is when I stumbled on Shakr, an online video maker that looked like the perfect tool I needed in order to start creating "viral" video ads for Facebook.
In this Shakr review, I will be sharing with you my experiences using Shakr and what I think of it.
What Is Shakr?
As explained above, Shakr is a cloud-based tool you can use to create video ads without the need of having to be a pro at video graphic design.
I am not a pro at video design – far from it, but I wanted that "pro-look" on my ads, hence why (at first), I fell in love with Shakr.
By simply visiting their home page, you will see that these guys really are pros at what they do – the site is beautiful and so are the videos that you can create yourself using the tool.
I quickly signed up for a free trial and start experimenting with some of the Shakr templates available.
Wow! I instantly fell in love with it and made it a point to purchase this tool the next day (today).
And I did.
Sadly though, my excitement was short lived as-as soon as I started properly digging into Shakr. I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed with this purchase.
Here made me caused disappointed…
5 MAJOR Disadvantages of Shakr
It's Limited More Than It Looks
While it does show there's a lot of different templates you can use, after previewing them, you'll see that they're all pretty much the same.
"All" may be a harsh word here – maybe the majority of them?
It's definitely not what I expected.
You Can't Customize Much
The "dummy text" with every video says "make this video your own", this is also not true as there is very very little you can customize.
Basically, all you can add/edit is:
- The text
- The media files (limited as well).
You can't change colours, fonts or anything else for that matter.
What you see is quite literally what you get.
This may not seem like a major issue just reading about it, but imagine finally finding a template you want to use and it's only available in pink and you don't want freaking pink.
It was very frustrating and was also one of the first alarms that confirmed I did not make the right choice here.
Navigation Sucks
Going back and forth to things is a bit of pain in the ass as well. I'm not quite sure how to explain why I was annoyed by it, but I was.
You Can't Preview What You're Doing
One of the worst things about Shakr (apart from the price, which we'll talk about soon), is the fact that you can't preview what you are doing.
Ok, imagine this for a second:
You need to spend time slowly editing the text piece by piece and clipped the videos to the perfect millisecond online to find out that you can not preview the scene in real time.
Want to preview your work?
Simple; fill out all the scenes with the text and video clips, wait for the video to process (around 2-3 minutes), and then you get to see the final work.
Want to make some changes?
Not a problem, redo the whole process, go to that scene, edit it as you please, wait for the video to process, see it again.
Found another thing you didn't like? Start all over again!
As you can see, this is really time-consuming and a simple 15-second video took me an hour to do.
Not cool.
Shakr Is Insanely Expensive
A 'basic" Shakr plan costs $99 per month!
Now, let me first say that I joined Shakr because I liked the fact it was incredibly expensive, I wanted "the best of the best" and I had no problem paying for it.
However, after trying it out and dealing with the issues above, I am truly disappointed to flush my $99 away.
I also asked for a refund (and I hate doing that) – so far no reply.
I may be a bit bitter here with this Shakr review because I've just paid for it & was disappointed, however… there are a few things I do like about it (Shakr is not all bad)
4 Things I Liked About Shakr
Beautiful Website
I have to hand it to them, it really is a beautiful website.
navigation is kind of shitty, but it is a beautiful website indeed.
Beautiful Videos
The videos are gorgeous as well. Super high quality and it's very clear they were done by pros.
However, as I said, there's a lot of "the same stuff".
If I were to guess, I'd say that most templates were designed by one guy, thus all having the same "feel" to the
Energy Selection
There's a lot of ways you can filter the templates to find what you are looking for but the most ingenious way I saw was the "energy" factor.
This is a 3 option energy-level filter to show you specific videos that fit your brand style.
A Couple Of Templates
I did find a couple of templates that I like and I even created some videos which I also like for my Facebook Ads.
Sadly, so far it's just 2 but I am sure I will find another one if I just keep trying them out – even though it will take a couple of hours to test some simple ideas.
Do I Recommend It?
Not really no. I am sure there are other better alternatives to Shakr and I am on my way to find them.
Any Alternatives?
I don't know of any yet, but I will be researching some later on today and see if I can find one I am happy with.
I will update here with my next choice of online video creator.
In Closing
Thank you for reading my Shakr review. I hope this more informative than it was a rant.
Please do take your time to visit Shakr and sign up for a free trial as you may end up liking it or you may find a template that really strikes you.
As always, be sure to leave me a question down below.

JOHANNESBURG, July 18 – Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp says he is satisfied with how the pre-season camp has been going ahead of their friendly match against Botswana's Township Rollers on Saturday at the Jamali Stadium in Tlokweng.
However, he admitted he did have some concerns.
"We find ourselves with some of our key players missing due to their duty in the Afcon tournament. We are not complaining but it is a challenge for us preparing for the new season without some of the guys.
"For instance, we needed Daniel Cardoso and 'Rama' Mphahlele, because we were working on our defensive stuff," he added.
Seven Kaizer Chiefs players were called up by various associations to represent their countries at the Africa Cup of Nations.
"We have been working hard for the past few days and I'm happy with the response from some of the players," he added.
"It is good that we do not have any serious injuries and some of the guys who were injured last season are on their way back to full recovery."
Some of the players whose countries have already been knocked out of the tournament have been given time off as they did not get any rest after the end of last season.
Khama Billiat is the only international player that is back in the team as Zimbabwe were knocked out in the first round of the continental showpiece. His fellow countryman Teenage Hadebe has moved to Turkey.
"We have been keeping in touch with the technical and medical teams of the various national teams to check on our players and so far, there are no injury worries.
"We hope more players will join us soon and will be with us when we travel to Botswana on Friday," the coach continued.
On the new players' integration into the team, Middendorp said: "The four new guys have been working hard and we believe they will adapt quickly to our system and hit the ground running because we don't have much time.
"We have been working on the players' mental strength and teamwork which will see them communicate better in all departments."

Some Geometric or Kinematic Properties of the Velocity Field
Next we specialize for the velocity vector Q two integral theorems which are valid for any suitably continuous and differentiable vector field.
1. Gauss' Divergence Theorem. Consider any volume V entirely within the field enclosed by a single closed bounding surface S as in Fig. 1-1.
j^Q-ndS = yyy (V ■ Q)dV. (1-14)
Here n is the outward-directed unit normal from any differential element of area dS. This result is derived and discussed, for instance, in Sections 2.60 and 2.61 of Milne-Thompson (1960). Several alternative forms and some interesting deductions from Gauss' theorem are listed in Section 2-61. The theorem relates the tendency of the field lines to diverge, or spread out within the volume V, to the net efflux of these lines from the boundary of V. It might therefore be described as an equation of continuity of field lines.
Stokes' Theorem on Rotation. Now we consider a closed curve C of the sort employed in (1-12) and (1-13), except that the present result is instantaneous so that there is no question of a moving path composed of the same particles. Let S be any open surface which has the curve C as its boundary, as illustrated in Fig. 1-2. The theorem refers to the circulation around the curve C and reads
is called the vorticity and can be shown to be equal to twice the angular velocity of a fluid particle about an axis through its own centroid. The theorem connects the spinning tendency of the particles lying in surface S with the associated inclination of the fluid at the boundary of S to circulate in one direction or the other. Sections 2.50 and 2.51 of Milne-Thompson (1960) provide a derivation and a number of alternative forms.
1-4 The Independence of Scale in Inviscid Flows
Consider two bodies of identical shape, but different scales, characterized by the representative lengths h and /2, moving with the same velocity Qb through two unbounded masses of the same inviscid fluid. See Fig. 1-3. This motion is governed by the differential equations developed in Section 1-1 plus the following boundary conditions: (1) disturbances die out at infinity, (2) Qn = Qb • n at corresponding points on the two surfaces, n being the normal directed into the fluid.
We first treat the case of a steady flow which has gone on for a long period of time so that all derivatives with respect to t vanish. We can then apply the Newtonian transformation, giving the fluid at infinity a uniform motion minus Qb and simultaneously bringing the body to rest. Thus the boundary condition No. 2 becomes Qn = 0 all over the surfaces. We take the differential equations governing these two similar problems and make the following changes of variable: in the first case.
= x/h,
Zi = z/h;
in the second case, *2
= x/h,
z2 = z/l2-
In the dimensionless coordinate systems the two bodies are congruent with each other. Moreover, the differential equations become identical. That is, for instance, continuity reads, in the first case,
BjpU) , d{pVl, аШ1 = о
dxi dyi dz і
and in the second case,
d(pU) , dJpV) d(pW) =
dx2 dy2 dz2 '
We are led to conclude, assuming only uniqueness, that the two flows are identical except for scale. Velocities, gas properties, and all other dependent variables are equal at corresponding points in the two physical fields. This is a result which certainly seems reasonable on grounds of experience.
The same sort of reasoning can be extended to unsteady flows by also scaling time in proportion to length:
Xt = x/h, Ух = у/lx, zx = z/l 1, tx = t/lx, (1-21)
x2 = x/l2, 2/2 = y/h, z2 = z/l2, t2 = t/l2, (1-22)
in the two cases. With regard to boundary conditions, it must also be specified that over all time Qb(h) in the first case and Qbih) are identical functions.
Evidently, it makes no difference what the linear scale of an ideal fluid flow is. In what follows, therefore, we shall move back and forth occasionally from dimensional to dimensionless space and time coordinates, even using the same symbols for both. A related simplification, which is often encountered in the literature, consists of stating that the wing chord, body length, etc., will be taken as unity throughout a theoretical development; the time scale is then established by equating the free-stream to unity as well.
One important warning: the introduction of viscosity and heat conduction causes terms containing second derivatives, the viscosity coefficient, and coefficient of heat conductivity to appear in some of the governing differential equations. When dimensionless variables are introduced, the Reynolds number and possibly the Prandtl number[2] appear as additional
parameters in these equations, spoiling the above-described similarity. The two flows will no longer scale because the Reynolds numbers are different in the two cases. Even in inviscid flow, the appearance of relaxation or of finite reaction rates introduces an additional length scale that destroys the similarity. It is satisfactory, however, for real gas which remains either in chemical equilibrium or in the "frozen" condition thermodynamically.
If shock waves and/or vortex wakes are present in – the field, it can be reasoned without difficulty that they also scale in the same manner as a flow without discontinuities. An excellent discussion of this whole subject of invariance to scale changes will be found in Section 2.2 of Hayes and Probstein (1959). Finally, it might be observed that differences between the two flows in the ambient state of the fluid at infinity, such as the pressure, density, and temperature there, may also be included in the scaling by referring the appropriate state variables to these reference values. The Mach numbers in the two flows must then be the same.


text: Do any of you feel affected by the full moon? I catch myself feeling my strangest at times when the moon is nearly or actually full. Sometimes my feelings are so intense I just want to sleep them off. The night of and three days before and after the full moon are energetically powerful times, so much so that I hardly want to do anything at all! So I came up with a gentle full moon ritual that even the most weary witch can muster (also useful up to three days after the full moon).

By Abigail Adams
It started in a bar. Dori Robinson, assistant director of UMASS Amherst Hillel, had spent the week sending out a flurry of invitations through e-mails and social networking sites to the first event of J-Grads, a pub night. Robinson, a recent transplant to the area, was spearheading the J-Grads initiative to create on-going programming at UMASS Hillel for graduate students, something that had only occurred on a sporadic basis.
"I thought there's got to be a lot of young Jewish individuals in the Valley," Robinson told the Jewish Ledger. "We just all need to be in the same place. So I decided to start programming with something really light-hearted. I find it's pretty non-threatening to say let's get together and have a drink and see if there's a group here."
At first, Dori Robinson and one other attendee sat alone in Northampton's Tunnel Bar. "This will never work," Robinson recalled her companion saying.
"I never anticipated it would be as big as it is now," Dori Robinson told the Ledger. "It's extraordinary what's been done."
Through J-Grads events and the celebration of Shabbat, individual networks of young professionals, area residents and graduate students began to coalesce. The individuals attracted to the newly forming community indicated a need to transform J-Grads from a UMASS group into something more inclusive. Ari Kobren, relocated from Silver Springs, MD to pursue a PhD in Computer Science at UMASS, and Noah Slovin, a Worcester native obtaining an M.S. at UMASS in Geosciences, were introduced at the Tunnel Bar and became instrumental in J-Grad's metamorphosis into Emek Hachalutzim. "Young professionals didn't necessarily want to go to UMASS events," Kobren told the Jewish Ledger, "but people seemed to have a really good time during Shabbat at Noah's house. Everybody wanted this community."
Shabbat dinners quickly became a traditional activity for the forming Emek Hachalutzim. However, the celebration as a cohesive community was complicated by the level of observance of some members who will not drive on Shabbat. Slovin and Kobren, at the time Amherst residents, found themselves relying on the hospitality of Rabbi Bruce Bromberg Seltzer, former Hillel Director at Amherst and Smith College, to attend a Shabbat dinner in Northampton. That night, Rabbi Bromberg Seltzer recommended creating a Moishe House for the Pioneer Valley.
Moishe House is an international organization devoted to training and supporting young Jewish adults in the creation of peer communities. The model now boasts 59 Moishe Houses with over 65,000 attendees to events and Shabbat dinners a year.
"After the suggestion we started talking about it more intensely," Noah Slovin told the Jewish Ledger. "Ari and I were both in a situation where each of us were finishing our lease. We thought it would be interesting if we could start this Jewish house. So we started doing programming and branding ourselves and reaching out to people."
Dory Fox, a recent college graduate relocating from Chicago to Western MA for a position with the Yiddish Book Center, was one of the individuals that the newly named Emek Hachalutzim reached. While initially apprehensive about moving into a Moishe-style house, Ari Kobren and Noah Slovin's enthusiasm was contagious. "I just got excited by it," Fox explained. "We had skyped and they had talked to me about their ideas. It seemed like something I really wanted to be a part of."
In August 2013, Fox, Slovin and Kobren moved into what is now known as the Emek House in Northampton.
The Emek House shares a similar mission and organizing model with Moishe House, however, Fox, Slovin and Kobren decided not to officially register as one in an effort to be truly inclusive of the developing community. "Moishe House seems relatively intent on having events for 21-30 year olds," Kobren explained. "But the people in the Emek community have a wide spread of ages and some people felt uncomfortable with that."
The members of Emek Hachalutzim are as eclectic as the events and activities the organization sponsors. Emek members come from a spectrum of Jewish backgrounds and are at different phases of their life, education and career – all members, however, share the desire to be part of a Jewish community.
The incredible growth of the Emek community can be attributed not only to its inclusiveness but also to its decentralized organizing structure that creates programing based on the expressed interests and initiatives of its members. Events have included rock-climbing, holiday parties, political and literary discussion groups, concerts, Hebrew conversation nights and bar hopping.
Emek Hachalutzim continues to grow and transform as new members become involved and the community engages in discussions about its mission and its future. Shabbat dinners, however, continue to be a constant that brings the Emek community together. In October, Emek House hosted the largest Shabbat dinner to date, with more than 45 attendees and a potluck that accommodated all members – from those with a strict Kashrut observance to those with gluten allergies. "For me," Dori Robinson said of her vision for Emek Hachalutzim, "I want a warm and welcoming young adult group that in a joyful way wants to explore Judaism and build community. And at the very least I want a fun chill place to go to for a potluck at the end of the week. Because at the end of the day you want community and really that's what community is all about."
Information on upcoming Emek Hachalutzim events can be found on facebook at facebook.com/pioneeremek.

Introduction: Digesting Dragon
This is a dragon that digests paper.
Step 1: Get the Following Materials:
- a soda bottle
- paper
- tape
- a supply of water
Step 2: Lots of Tape
You will need lots of tape. I like to use a tape dispenser with rolls of tape that you can buy at Sam's Club.
Step 3: Eyes of the Dragon
Cut a strip of paper and put two dots on either side of it for eyes. Then get two pieces of tape and put one on each end. Then strap it to the part above the nozzle of the bottle.
Step 4: Scales on the Dragon
Cut small triangles of paper, then fold the ends up. Once you've folded the ends up, get some tape and put it on the folded ends. Then attach them to the back of your bottle dragon.
Step 5: A Tail for Your Dragon
Get a letter-sized piece of paper, roll into a tube, and use tape to make it stay as a tube. You can then use more tape to attach it to the bottom of the bottle dragon.
Step 6: Final Step
Pour water from a faucet into your bottle. Then, close the nozzle and you've got yourself a paper eating dragon.
Open the nozzle and put a small piece of paper inside. Close the nozzle and shake for about five minutes. The paper will be ground into a mushy pulp by the bottle dragon.
The final step is naming your dragon. Mine is named Fangs.

The Burninator!!!
O.O that cool O.O
WAY COOL i realy like dragons (u can probally tell that I do becuse of my username)but I think I should use a milk jug insead of A bottle becuse dragons are serpents of giant size if I do I will take a picture of it and post it as a comment!
I LOVE Dragons! They are so cool. Just like this dude's Instructable. I totally agree with you dragonjohn7445.
i could not find amilk jug so i used a 2 liter pop bottle and mine takes a whole day 2 digest his meals and i named him firesnake
What purpose does this serve?
Pay attention at the back! It's for digesting paper!
Check Leperdy's profile,,
I wonder if dragon poop could be used to make more paper?
Hm... I think you're going to have to tape two half bottles together, so you can put a cap on both ends. Otherwise, you're just going to get dragon barf! ;-)
Fire!, lol
Perhaps dragons have only a single opening gastrovascular cavity like the Cnidaria or Thrintun.
Way to go Leperdy! I love it! I can't wait to see your next Instructable! Every time I eat paper I burp up confetti. :-)
Hey Leperdy, I like Fangs, he seems ferocious! I guess he's friendly if he eats only paper.
Great job on your first instructable, for your next project you should read and understand how to take close up photography , also known as 'macro photography'. It's easy, and almost all cameras now come with it!
Being a huge fan on monsters I might just have to make myself a dragon so I can bring him into work and let him eat all those reports that i don't like.
He takes better pictures that a lot of other people on the site, haha. good job and keep posting!
Wow, Instructables' youngest member!
Welcome, Leperdy!

As I Recall by Casey Tygrett, Free for CAPC Members
Casey Tygrett encourages us to see that every memory—when we engage it in the presence of Jesus—belongs to our lives, and to our story.
In light of Proposition 8's judicial overturning, our repost of Charles' "Should We Feel Great About Proposition 8" was timely and thought-provoking. I do not intend the following to be a full-fledged articulation of my thinking but a beginning sketch for hopefully fuller realization.
The debate over this vote and its aftermath continues to prove rancorous and uncivil in the highest degree. However, this should not surprise anyone. We live in a democratic time with numerous and easily accessible routes of communication. Further, these channels of discourse touch upon a deeply sensitive issue. The moral good and public acceptance of one's lifestyle or the upholding of deeply held beliefs and institutions will bring out the fight in most. What struck me about the debate was that both sides often came out looking bad. This situation did not pit evil homophobes against peaceful defenders of true love.; nor did it face-off pure champions of godly virtue against conscious, willful destroyers of marriage. The arguments put forward in support of Proposition 8 were at times peripheral or sensationalistic. The intimidation and hatred shown against many Proposition 8 supporters was disgraceful as well.
Issues surrounding the nature of marriage present Christians with wider difficulties of discerning the role of our faith and of Scripture in culture. While most agree that theocracyis the wrong form of government to pursue, the opposite course of complete separation of faith from the public square proves troubling as well and, in the end, impossible. Religion offers premises so fundamental concerning humanity's end, truth, morality and happiness that separating it from the self in civil matters can only really occur by some unhealthy, illogical division of the self or by the outright rejection of Christianity for more secular, naturalistic assumptions.
Perhaps the answer begins by asking anew how God reigns over this world in the present. When Jesus said that his kingdom was not of this world, he seemed to establish two spheres of authority. God is God over all; but is he God in the same way over all? On one hand, Jesus is Redeemer and Mediator in relationship to his Church. On the other hand, Christ is Creator and Providential Sustainer of the entire world. Do these differing roles/relationships establish different basis' for the government and law structures of each? Does the special revelation of Scripture hold more direct sway over the Church and some form of natural law (like Romans 2:14-15) rule in the civil realm? These ideas are far from novel. Luther, Calvin, Turretin, Rutherford, and a plethora of others held to some form of this view. These ideas also provide a possible ground for lawmaking that recognizes unchanging truth applicable to all even in a pluralistic society. The debate is worth having.
Even if we accept this division, the question of Proposition 8 does not go away. Marriage stems from God's creation not his redemption. Marriage appears to hold truths applicable beyond the Church as an institution centered in the complementary differences between men and women, both in biology and in strengths and weaknesses particular to one's sex. Rejection of only heterosexual marriage can only come about when, as the recent Proposition 8 ruling states, gender has no bearing on marriage (and no real bearing anywhere beyond social construct, I might add). Heterosexual marriage can also only be rejected when the denial of natural men and women is coupled with a highly individualistic culture that places personal, often fleeting happiness over greater goods and selfless sacrifice.
For these sinful foundations of the gay marriage argument, Christians have no one to blame but themselves. For their arguments would likely have significantly less power if we looked at our own marriages as covenant mirrors of Christ and the Church, built further to ground society and raise the next generation. Instead, our infidelity and divorce rates show a callous disregard for the true creative ordinance of matrimony that makes us look hypocritical when criticizing homosexual persons. Restoring marriage will take much more than some better form of Proposition 8. It will take a less individualistic reform of heterosexual marriage, a restoration of God-honoring complementary sexuality, and a deep love for those struggling with sexual issues, heterosexual or homosexual, in a way that speaks the truth only in the context of loving relationship.

Improving communication in Children with ASD
Autism Spectrum Disorder comes with its challenges one of which is communication impairment in children suffering from the disorder. Children with ASD may have difficulty developing language skills (talking) and understanding what others say and may also have difficulty communicating nonverbally, such as through hand gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. However, the inability to speak or use proper language is not an inability to think or have an opinion, therefore, it is essential to teach them how to express themselves. There are many different approaches to improve communication skills. For best outcomes, treatment programs should always begin early. These include:-
Speech Language Pathologist: This is a health professional who performs an evaluation on the child and designs an appropriate treatment programme tailored to the child's age and interests. Speech Therapy also addresses both the child's behavior and communication skills and offer regular reinforcement of positive actions. Most children with ASD respond well to highly structured, specialized programs. Parents or primary caregivers as well as other family members should be involved in the treatment program so it will become part of the child's daily life.
Makaton signs: This is a language programme that was designed to provide a means of communication to individuals who cannot communicate efficiently by speaking. The Makaton language programme has been effectively used with individuals with autism and other disabilities. It uses a multi approach to teach language and academic skills through a combination of speech, signs, and graphic symbols used concurrently or a combination of two (speech & sign) (speech and graphic) (sign and graphics) as appropriate for the student's needs. However, for individuals with autism, te rule of thumb is using speech alongside sign or speech with graphic , and like every other learning method, the student can progress in their language use, using whatever modes are most appropriate and moves from basic stage to more complex stages.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): using other ways of communication (other than oral speech) to express thoughts, needs, wants, and ideas. Every human being uses AAC when we make facial expressions or hand and body gestures or when we use symbols, pictures and writing.
People with severe speech or language problems rely on AAC to supplement existing speech or replace speech that is not functional. Special augmentative aids, such as picture and symbol communication boards and electronic devices, are available to help people express themselves. This may increase social interaction, school performance, and feelings of self-worth. AAC should not replace speech for users who have some form of speech but as aids to enhance their communication.
Technology: (A form of AAC) Not all children with ASD will develop verbal communication, in such cases, an alternative for self-expression will be needed. There are technology apps on iPads and other devices that have been developed for this purpose. Parents can search for the one they are most comfortable with and teach their children how to use them to communicate their needs. They usually have text-to-speech voices and also come with symbols, different designs and functions as well as prices. These are available in App stores.
All hope is not lost. With patient endurance, children with ASD can ALL learn how to communicate verbally or otherwise. Teaching children with ASD how to communicate is essential in helping curb frustration thereby minimizing behavioural issues and also helps them reach their full potential.

The Best Ways to Get Your Teeth White
One of the most valuable features that anyone has is their smile. Your smile can tell a lot about you and the way that you live your life. A person with a big smile gives the impression they are happy, confident, and are fun to be around. So what do people with yellow teeth give as an impression?
People with yellow teeth may give an impression that they are lazy, not hard-working, or don't care about their personality. Well, most of the time, this is not really the case and it usually has to do with their lifestyle and choices. One of the easiest ways to ruin beautiful, white teeth is to smoke. The smoke causes a build-up on your teeth that is almost impossible to remove. This leaves your teeth with a yellow stain. Even if you brush very often the stain can still be impossible to get rid of and you could be stuck with yellow teeth for a long time.
It is very difficult to quit smoking, but if you can it will save you in many ways. It will prevent further health damages such as damage to your lungs. Also, it will prevent further staining of your teeth and you maybe able to recover those white teeth once again.
There are other lifestyle changes that can help keep your teeth whiter. One example that may affect millions of people is drinking coffee. Coffee is well-known to cause staining of your teeth and leaving you with a yellow stain on your teeth. Similar to smoking, drinking coffee is very addictive and difficult to quit, but if you can find a way the benefits are amazing when it comes to your teeth.
It is true that brushing your teeth as recommended by your dentist may prevent your teeth from becoming yellow, but in some cases it is not enough. You need to have some other product that will help you in getting your teeth white again and giving the right impression to people again. You can stop worrying about what people are thinking about you because you finally have those white teeth again.
Currently, there are many teeth whitening products on the market, but how do you know if it will really work for your teeth unless you try it on yourself. There is no better way to convince yourself then to try it on yourself. I have found a product that will allow you to try it for free with a rebate. This will allow to try it on yourself and see the results without spending a large amount of money.
Tooth Whitening Products
In these modern times, almost anything can be made synthetically in order to cater to the demands of a certain population. Items ranging from artificial sweeteners, artificial meat, synthetic cloth to artificial pregnancies in artificial insemination (of hogs and cattle), all need a safer and better solution once utilized. The same can also be applied when it comes to tooth whitening products. If you are not careful, you might possibly experience irreparable damage that you might later regret. So when it comes to tooth whitening products, be sure to verify how safe it is to use.
Some of the safer ones that are recommended are teeth whitening gels, dental whitening kits and the safest of them all, the in-office procedure. Let us then tackle each one of these tooth whitening products briefly.
Teeth whitening gels are made up of many combinations of chemical ingredients varying from one company to the next. But the most common one would be the hydrogen peroxide ingredient that penetrates the enamel's pores, lightening the dentin (The inner part of the tooth next to the enamel). The dentin is responsible for the teeth color thus producing white teeth. These are usually applied twice to thrice for three to four weeks before you acquire a really noticeable look. Some similar products would claim instant temporary results – within just one hour from application. Dental Kits have nebules of teeth whitening gels that are applied onto the dental trays – both upper and lower. Before anything else, the dental trays are submerged on lukewarm water just long enough to soften it a little and then immediately placing it on your teeth then molding it. The last product mentioned here is the in-office procedure done by the dentist. This is the safest among all methods but also the most expensive. All the more because dental surgeries and cosmetic procedures are not deductible to insurances. This would require several trips to the dental office and having a gradual improvement in teeth color. The dentist uses differen kinds of tooth whitening products depending on the client's needs.
For the unsafe products, do not choose those products that require to be swished and spitted. Like mouthwashes for example. The product does not stay for very long inside the oral cavity plus it contains a stronger acid thereby eroding the enamel and weakening it. Whitening toothpastes that do not have fluoride are the ones that destroy teeth and make it brittle. Granules or powders are still no different than the toothpastes mentioned. Some tooth whitening products also allow greater damage when combined with another unsafe one.
There you have the safe and unsafe tooth whitening products that will help you to decide which ones to buy and utilize. Know the pros and cons and you will surely attain the whitest teeth you can probably acquire.

As you look at real estate cycles over time, what usually gets us in trouble is supply overshooting demand. I don't think that's going to happen in 2017; supply is pretty controlled. I think you really need to keep an eye on what happens in '18 and '19."
Mitesh Shah, senior managing principal and CEO of Noble Investment Group: "To be in this business, you have to be an optimist, and we're probably more optimistic than four or five months ago."
Sam Nazarian, chairman and CEO of SBE Entertainment Group: "From our position as an asset-light opco, we're very excited about '17 and '18. … We'd like to get more skill and potentially more M&A. There's good cause to be optimistic."
Greg Mount, president and CEO of Red Lion Hotels Corporation: "I think you're seeing still a little bit of a sugar high from the election results. There are still some things to be determined, but I think you're seeing more confidence in C suites and consumers. … And I think we're seeing a number smaller regional companies becoming hesitant and concerned about being relevant when consolidation comes on, and that's where opportunism comes in."
Geoff Ballotti, president and CEO of Wyndham Hotel Group: "From an industry standpoint, we're very optimistic. … From Wyndham's standpoint, we're incredibly optimistic in terms of our portfolio."
On the sharing economy
David Kong, president and CEO of Best Western Hotels & Resorts: "What's surprised me and continues to surprise me is Airbnb. It's a company with a valuation of $30 billion. Obviously, very sophisticated investors have high hopes for Airbnb. … It's surprising to me that in our industry, especially big brands, say Airbnb is of no consequence because obviously it's eating into our market share.
"In some ways, Airbnb's impact on our industry is going to be greater than the (online travel agencies') impact because the OTAs' impact on the industry is a rise in distribution costs. It's a channel shift. … But Airbnb is a market share shift. You actually lose the business to Airbnb."
Jim Amorosia, president and CEO of G6 Hospitality: "Not everyone is looking at it the same way, and quite frankly, it's not a consistent impact across the country. There's a lot of density, especially in the deeper urban areas. But I think there's an ability as an industry to see this and deal with it quick (than the OTAs)."
Elie Maalouf, CEO of the Americas for InterContinental Hotels Group: "I don't think anybody, at least in the large brand business, is ignoring the issue. I think we are recognizing that there are a lot of forces that have already existed in the industry, which is nonbranded alternative accommodations. … We've taken the position that we're in the branded accommodations business."
On the impact of Marriott-Starwood
Maalouf: "We hired over a dozen people from Starwood that are really great performers, great colleagues, and joined us late last year. … For us it was an opportunity to pick up some great talent. Starwood was a great company with a great heritage and a lot of great people."
Stockton: "One of the things we see as a benefit is if we own an asset we'd like to reposition, all of a sudden without having to terminate that management contract, now we have more options. If we have a Marriott-managed asset or a Starwood-managed asset, we can look across the brands."
The appeal of soft brands
Kong: "There are a lot of independent hotels that value their freedom and don't want to abide by rigid brand standards, but at the same time they needed to have an alternative to the OTA channels and also have a way to tap into the brands' reservation systems. So soft brands allow independent hotels to have the best of both worlds."
Expectations for the Trump administration
Stockton: "It seems this is a man of action, but whether or not his actions result in the right things, we'll see. But he's clearly someone who has promised a lot, and I guess he feels he needs to start delivering. I think we will see an increase in spending, which drives (gross domestic product) growth. We'll see an increase in inflation, which is good for our industry, and hopefully we'll see a reduction in taxes, which will increase corporate spending."
Ballotti: "The message is simple: It's listen and let us help you. And there's an openness on so many different fronts right now, including a regulatory standpoint that we've all been struggling with. Joint-employer is the biggest issue."
On muted RevPAR growth
Shah: "There's nothing wrong with (2% to 3% revenue-per-available-room growth). It's coming through rate, and you're still getting 4% or 5% NOI growth. I struggle to find another real estate class where you find those kinds of returns."
Mount: "Sometimes it can be a bit deceiving in how it's viewed, particularly in the public markets, as the ultimate barometer. We try to make sure to try to educate when we're out there speaking with different investors on what that really means."
Ballotti: "The comps are getting easier this year. We all talk in our calls about the oil markets beginning to come back. Those hammered us hard, and we were still at 2% or 3% growth. Those comps only get easier."
How about more opportunities for ownership to GMs.

Actress Poonam Pandey is known for making headlines with her bold pictures and vidoes that leave little to imagination. She loves to stay in limelight and from promising nude pictures for the entire Indian Cricket Team if they won the 2011 World Cup (something that she did not end up doing) to her sex video, the lady never fails to shock people.
Since Friday morning, Poonam Pandey's sex video has been breaking the Internet.
As DNA India reported, the video didn't stay up long before she deleted it, but unfortunately, by then, it was already viewed and downloded by thousand peeps from her Insta fam. In fact, search engine platforms are buzzing with keywords such as 'Poonam Pandey Sex Tap Clip', 'Poonam Pandey XXX sex video', 'Poonam Pandey Sex Video With Boyfriend', 'Poonam Pandey Sex Tape Video', 'Poonam Pandey adult video,' and so on.
In the leaked video, the model-turned-actor is joined by her alleged boyfriend who goes by name Sam Bombay on the photo and video sharing platform.
It wasn't immediately clear if the sex tape leak was intentional, as the report noted that Poonam Pandey is no stranger to sharing erotic and bold videos on her social media page.
However, it clearly doesn't seem to have affected her at all. Here's some of her content that she has shared on her Instagram handle. Here's some of her content that she has shared on her Instagram handle.

Those who're caught unaware, some days back, Facebook had deactivated Poonam's official account because of the kind of content shared by her on the social networking platform. But Poonam being Poonam, continued sharing similar pictures and videos on Instagram.
What do you think? Was the sex video an accidental leak or was it done to create another controversy? Let us know in the comments.

Hailing from Scotland, Kevin McGuire has one of the most exciting sounds in UK country right now which can easily break the US market too. A young, talented singer/songwriter, Kevin has put his own twist on modern country music blending hip hop with the country storytelling traditions and making it fresh, modern, relevant and lack of a better word cool.
Kevin's music will appeal to any country audience but will undoubtedly bring in a whole new young fan base too.
Kevin recently released his single Late which has received a lot of attention and has given him many wonderful experiences and opportunities. Late is a track off his brilliant EP Foreign Country.
We caught up with Kevin to discuss his single, music, tours and much more. Kevin was a joy to speak to, he was down to earth, friendly and incredibly excited that it started to snow during our chat and right in that moment, I knew he was a good un'
Hi Kevin, how are you?
I am doing well, thanks
How has your week been?
It has been good; it has been the first week I have been back since the EP came out. From summer leading up to now has been very, very busy, on the show side of things.
Could you tell us a little bit about yourself and your musical background – what made you want to pursue a career in Country music?
I have been playing music since I was a little boy but I have been listening to Country music since I was a teenager – the age I was allowed on the internet, ha! I used to check and see who was in the top Country charts. None of my family really listened to Country music so it felt really cool to have something to myself and that I was listening to all these artists that people within my circle hadn't really heard of yet.
I started to really think about pursuing a career in music at about the age of sixteen – I had been writing songs since my early teens and Country songwriting always kind of came out. It wasn't something that I tried to force, it just became apparent that a lot of the songs I wrote were about story telling – I guess that's where the Country influence came in. I didn't really think too hard about it – I think as an artist you don't know what's going to happen until it happens, in terms of what you write. I think if you specifically go and say to yourself "Right, I only want to write Country music", then you lose a bit of creativity if you box yourself in a genre. I wouldn't say that I ever thought that Country music is the only route I wanted to take, but I would say it has definite influences in what I do and in the way I want to create music.
You say you were 13-ish when you first discovered Country music- what artists were you listening to?
Those were the days before social media, so you couldn't really see who was into it and who they were listening to, so that's why I felt like it was my thing.
Yes, I felt that way at first.
I would say, the first artists I really got into were Rascal Flatts, they are still one of my favourite bands. Then I was introduced to artists like Tim McGraw, Josh Turner – and I remember hearing Taylor Swift singing 'Tim McGraw', which was her first single. I was curious about her because of the song title, so it was good to be introduced to her before she became the artist she is now.
Yes, same for me. I remember hearing her sing Our Song on the CMA's and then that was it, obsessed!
As we just discussed, when you started out, Country music wasn't so widely heard in the UK and wasn't quite as popular as it is now. Did you have any concerns marketing yourself as Country at first?
No, I think being so young, that kind of thing doesn't cross your mind. You don't know anything about the music industry, so don't know anything about the marketing. I think all I cared about was to write good songs and that hopefully people would like them. I have always been told that my music would suit America.
Yes, I agree.
So the fact there weren't many Country fans in the UK didn't bother me and, you know, it still doesn't bother me. I know there is a market out there for it; I know that the UK fans are so passionate about it and I think we are slowly getting there. I think people are realising that Country music doesn't have to be the likes of Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. There is a completely different sub genre that stretches so, so far with hip hop, r and b and dance and pop influences.
So how would you pin point your sound if you could? I ask, as it is very different – in a great way – and you seem to be the only UK Country artist who is doing what you are doing?
Thank you very much, I appreciate that. I would say there is a lot of R & B influence as well as Country, but it's Country in terms of songwriting. It comes across when you write about something honest rather than something that has been done a million times.
Tell us about your current single Late – what is the story behind the song, and who did you write with?
Late is the song that I would say I am most proud of to date; it is the first song I have written and produced – and I did the production in my bedroom. The chorus I had for a few days before I had any other part and the lyrics are something that people can feel, it is a simple line but relatable. I was listening to a lot of Sam Hunt and Kane Brown at the time and I really liked the instrumental sound they were going for. There was also a strong guitar line in Kane Brown's stuff, with a cool R &B vibe in the drums, so I started writing with that in mind. We got some really cool guitar parts first, which then allowed me to write the verse.
Some songs take a long time and some songs just feel right. With that song, I never found it difficult to write, it felt like the right thing to do.
You performed it live on BBC Radio 2 with Clare Balding – how was that experience?
It was totally incredible. It is one of the best things that I have ever done – I thought I would have been more nervous than I was, but I wasn't. There was a sense of pride from recording that because I have done co–writes in the past and I have worked with different people in the past, but to have that song – a song that I created in my bedroom and did the production for – be my first breakthrough on BBC Radio 2, felt so special. I was really happy with the performance and everyone was so amazing.
How was the reaction after it? Did you get any feedback from the listeners?
I did, yeah. My manager told me to make sure people tweet in, so the BBC know that people are listening and enjoying it. After the performance my twitter was completely rammed with people who hadn't heard me before, saying they enjoyed it. My EP, which was out in April, jumped back up to number four in the Country charts just from that performance; it was lovely.
How was it shooting the video? Like my friend Kayleigh said to you on your Facebook post – it looked a tad windy up there!
Yes, ha – but that is exactly what we wanted. The conditions were absolutely ferocious; it didn't look as bad in the video but it was terrible. There was a storm coming, so we only had two takes for the entire song from start to finish and you will see there was one take, which we didn't plan, but which was really cool and raw. Originally it was just going to be a lyric video but we needed something to go in the background, so we thought we would do an action video for more impact.
Where was it?
It was on the West coast. If you have seen the video for Alright, Tonight!, you will see it is the same beach at a party with a girl, so this video is me returning to the same beach completely on my own but with horrendous weather. That's the story of Late, basically – I went back to the place where I had such a fantastic time, so it's a comparison to what was and what is now. I want people to see that it is the same beach and if you see the beginning of the track you will see me holding a cup from the party which was left over.
Tell us about Nashville Nights, as I believe that was your first headline show?
Yes, first headline show in London. It was incredible and couldn't have gone any better. I loved the audience, the band were amazing, the staff were so nice, the venue was incredible, the sound was first class – everything was first class; it was amazing!
Following on the weather theme – Nashville Meets London, performing in the rain?
You know what? Although it rained before and after, throughout our performance it was completely dry. I almost had to call off the performance on the day, though, as I had a very, very bad throat infection. We travelled from Glasgow and I couldn't speak on the way down – I couldn't sing a single note. When we got to London my manager told the festival organisers that he didn't think I was going to be able to do this, but would try. So we checked in to a B & B and I basically had four hours to try and make myself slightly better. When I got to the venue I was backstage and I didn't think that there was any possible way to perform and they'd have to draft somebody else in to take my place. But we spoke to the organisers and said that we were going to try to do a couple of songs if we could – and we ended up playing for an hour, which was honestly one of the best moments of my entire life.
You are quite active on social media which is nice. How important do you think it is in the current industry climate? I ask, as a friend of mine is now a huge fan of yours after you followed her – when she got the follow, she checked out the music, she loved the music and the rest is history.
I think it is important- I try to be as active as I can. I don't have time to do it as much as I would like to but I try to respond to as many tweets and messages as I can. It is also a great platform to get your music out.
You have released your EP Foreign Country. How hard or easy is to select songs for an EP?
It was quite hard, but we had a lot of choices which is a good. I picked the ones that I felt were right for that time, the ones that we had in good shape. I wanted to give a good mix of Country styles like Alright, Tonight!, which is a feel good, upbeat track, Late which is more toned down, 3am which was the first single and has a more R&B feel, I Belong which has a really live band, big sound and the piano-based song Easy Love, to show another side of the songwriting.
What is next music wise? Are you set to release an album? If so, what can we expect from it?
I am working on an album – not sure when it will be released, but will probably release another EP first, as we try to move on to America.
Are you going on tour? If so, where can we see you?
Yes, we are planning to go on tour and my manager is working very hard at trying to get something set up as soon as possible. We will be out with Jess and the Bandits in February.
Well, thank you so much for chatting today and I hope to see you soon.
Thank you!
