Lucky you ! you've been invited to a bridal shower! As you prepare to attend this festive pre-wedding party, you should be thinking of ways to help "shower" the bride-to-be with love, support, and encouragement on her route towards marriage. A shower is supposed to be a special moment of togetherness for the bride where, surrounded by her closest family and friends, she's able to forget about the stress of wedding planning and revel in the excitement of what lies ahead.
As a bridal shower guest, you can help her achieve these warm-and-fuzzy feelings by writing a lovely bridal shower message in a card attached to your gift. Here's how to craft the perfect bridal shower card message, plus some examples you can "borrow" if you're feeling less poetic.
How to Write Bridal Shower Card: Basic Steps
While you should feel empowered to write whatever feels natural to you in your card, here are a few elements of a standard bridal shower message that should make it easy for you to fill up that white space. Remember, the most important thing is to craft a message that feels personal, genuine, and reflects both your and the bride's personalities and relationship.
1. Begin With Congratulations: Open your bridal shower message with the most basic of social graces. Offer your congratulations on her upcoming marriage, on finding the love of her life, on making it this far through wedding planning… whatever you feel she'll appreciate the most.
2. Make Her Feel Great: Offer the bride-to-be a compliment that will guarantee she feels amazing. You could tell her how beautiful she'll look on her wedding day, or boost her confidence about the stellar choices she's already made with the wedding details.
3. Share Something Personal: Perhaps you have a great memory about the bride that reflects her character strengths, the depth of your friendship, or how special her relationship is to her future spouse. The best card messages are the ones that feel thoughtful and unique, so don't be afraid to get personal and write something from the heart.
4. Offer Encouragement: Since she's about to embark on a major life journey, be sure to include well-wishes for her and her partner for a lifetime of happiness.
5. End With Words of Inspiration: Wrap up your bridal shower message with an uplifting thought, a piece of advice, or a quotation that leaves a lasting impression on the power of love and the beautiful, magical journey she's about to take.
Bridal Shower Message Example
Staring at a blank card with a pen in hand? Lose your fear and get started by following this example of a bridal shower card message:
Dear Lauren,
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I know you are going to make an absolutely stunning bride, and I simply can't wait to see all of the beautiful wedding details that I know you've worked so hard to plan.
I am so amazed and touched by the relationship you have created with Peter, and I know that the love you share runs very deep. From how you always encourage and support each other's career goals, to the way you rock out on the dance floor together, I know you two will continue to find joy and strength in your shared love for years to come.
I wish you nothing but a lifetime of laughter, happiness, and dance parties. As Gene Kelly said, "You dance love, and you dance joy, and you dance dreams." Cheers to you and all the dancing to come!
Love, Kate
Sample Bridal Shower Wishes
Whether you're trying to keep things light, go super-sentimental, or remind the bride about your special relationship, there are tons of different bridal shower wishes you can share in your shower card. Get inspired with these sample message for all types of moods and recipients.
What to Write in a Bridal Shower Card: For a Daughter
What is more special than sending off a daughter into marriage? Share your heartfelt happiness, your advice on marriage, your memories of her as a child, and/or your wishes and hopes for the couple for the future in your bridal shower card.
- You fill my heart with light, and I am so thrilled that you have found someone to spend your life with. Congratulations on taking this next huge step!
- My daughter, you're an endless source of joy and love to me and your father, and I know Paul feels the same. Although you belong to each other now, we will always be here for you no matter what!
- Every parent wants their child to find lifelong happiness, health, safety, and fulfillment—I know your future holds all these things and more with Jeff by your side. I couldn't be more thrilled for you both, and can't wait to see your love grow over the years!
- Marriage is both an incredible blessing, and a lot of hard work. Through good times and bad, remember to be on the same team, listen as much as you talk, and never go to bed angry! Keep your love front and center, and I know you will have an incredible future together.
What to Write in a Bridal Shower Card: For a Sister
A sister offers support and friendship, serves as a partner in crime, loans her favorite sweater, and knows the bride better than anyone else. A bridal shower card message should reflect the depth and nature of a sister-sister relationship, whether lighthearted or sentimental.
- My dear sister, can you believe this day has finally come? You have always been the sweetest little sister to me, and I can't wait to watch you walk down the aisle. All my love, always!
- From the time we used to play wedding in the backyard, to your many bad dates and terrible boyfriends I witnessed over the years, I am so thrilled that you've found the one to make you happy forever! You deserve all the happiness and love in the world.
- Congratulations on being the most beautiful bride, sister, and friend in the world! I love you forever and am here for you always. Thank you for letting me be by your side throughout this wedding journey.
- While I love Derek almost as much as I love you, we both know that the sister bond run deep! Remember I have your back no matter what—but I know you will rock this marriage thing. Thank you for always being such a great big sister and role model. I love you!
What to Write in a Bridal Shower Card: For a Daughter-In-Law
Welcome your future daughter-in-law to the family and express your joy in continuing to build a relationship with her over the years to come. Feel free to share memories or thoughts about your son that would touch the bride's heart.
- We are so lucky that our son has chosen you to be his lifelong partner! We can't wait to see where love will take you both.
- Welcome to the family! You are an incredible woman on your own, and we know you'll make an even more incredible addition to our tribe. Congratulations!
- I knew it would take a very special woman to serve as a match for Jonathan...and once I met you knew, I knew you were the one! I am so thrilled to welcome you into our family and wish the very best in all things for you both.
- You are a beautiful woman inside and out, and you will make a beautiful bride. We can't wait for the big day and for all the years of love and togetherness that will follow.
What to Write in a Bridal Shower Card: For a Friend
If you're writing a bridal shower card to a friend, let your message be personal and either funny or sweet (or both) depending on the nature of your friendship. Regardless of the tone, share your excitement for her big day, offer help or support as needed, and express your gratitude for being included.
- Congratulations! I am so happy for you both, and I know you will have the most amazing life together. Thanks for letting me share in the excitement!
- As Beyoncé would say, may you always feel this "crazy in love." Congratulations on a wonderful partnership and years of happiness to come!
- Thank you so much for letting me take part in your celebration and "shower" you with love! Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with leading up to the wedding.
- Dear friend, I'm so glad you've found the one that makes your heart sing. I can't wait to celebrate you both in a few months! Cheers to the most beautiful, smart, and kindest of brides.
What to Write in a Bridal Shower Card: For a Coworker
You don't have to go into great or complicated detail when writing a shower card message to a coworker: keep it short, sweet, and simple. Offer your congratulations and share your enthusiasm and thanks for being included.
- I am so excited for you and Dave, and can't wait for the big day! Thanks for including me in such a special celebration.
- I remember the morning after your first date with Tom...you were glowing (and gushing!). I knew right then that you'd found your perfect match. I am so happy for you, and wish you both all the love in the world!
- It's clear that you and Tom have a love that runs deep, and will last for a lifetime. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and thank you for letting me play a small role in it! I'm so thrilled for you both.
- As you make the transition from my "work wife" to a real wife, I know you will handle it with your characteristic grace, charm, and dedication. Congrats on this happy day, and best wishes for what's to come!
What to Write in a Bridal Shower Card: Humorous
There's no rule that says you have to be serious when writing a shower card message. In all likelihood the bride will be reading a lot of heavy-handed and sentimental messages, so have some fun with your words to her… just be sure to keep things appropriate and respectful, of course.
- Best wishes for a lifetime full of love, trust, and shared dishwashing duties!
- You know I'm here for you no matter what, dear friend—even if that means tying ribbon around hundreds of tiny bottles of bubbles until 3 a.m. so that you can cross "wedding favors" off your to-do list. Happy wedding!
- Wow, you're getting married! Congratulations! Now that your love life is figured out, I expect you'll have more time to help me figure out mine...kidding! But also, help me. Love you both and can't wait for the wedding!
- Congratulations on finding the match to your candle, the aloe to your sunburn, the Tabasco to your tacos. You two are a one hot match! Here's to keeping the fire burning for years to come.

A Random Blog of Everything I like
Dear Mr. Murphy
First of all, I would like to say Happy 35th Birthday.
I know that this letter of mine most likely never going to be read by you, but I think writing a letter to you on your birthday is the best way to celebrate your birthday. It has been such great journey to have known you for several years.
In my eyes, you are the most gorgeous man on earth and one of the most (few) dedicated actors I have ever known.
I should thank Christopher Nolan for introducing you to me, he was the one who had eagerly cast you as Dr. Jonathan Crane despite the fact that he had already prepared that role for someone else. You are the most beautiful villain I ever laid my eyes on. However, a big hug should be given to Daniel Boyle as he was the one who gave you that role as Jim, a super cute zombie fighter.
I know that upon reading that, you will think that I love you for your physical appearance only. But…I can guarantee you that it's not just your physical beauty that attracts me. I admit that you have the most gorgeous blue eyes I have ever seen, along with everything else on your face that supported the gorgeousness of your eyes. But…you physical beauty is not the one that made me adore you as an actor.
I've said thanks to Nolan and given a big hug to Boyle, now…I give lots of kisses to Ken Loach and Neil Jordan for they are the one who had shared your real talent to me. Your portrayal as Damian O'Donovan was amazing and you made Patricia 'Kitten' Braden so believable. You make a more beautiful woman than I could ever be 😉 .
Your Kitten had opened my eyes to your chameleonic talent (or polyhedral actor as Rodrigo Cortez said).
You make me adore you more when I read about your down to earth personality, you prefer to keep your family out of publicity. That was a very good call. The fact that you love finding interesting new character rather than finding the biggest payment of all also plays a big role for admiring you.
Thank you for making my movie viewing days brighter than before.
Although I admire you so much, but I can assure you that I do not live in fantasy world…you will remain as my gorgeous celebrity, one I will always drool on whenever I see you in TV or Cinema, but not the one I will love above everything else in my real life.
Once again, I wish you a happy day of birth, may you continue making great movies with outstanding performances and stay away from crappy movies in many years to come. And I hope your love for the art of acting will never be corrupted by big money.
This letter is influenced by Caroline's letter to Mr. Cussack
You can read what other people wrote about Cillian on his birthday here.
That's a nice letter, really. Although it is maybe inspired by mine, it's very different.
I hope he reads it. You never know. I think he would like it.
I thought he was much younger!
Someone got a crush 😛
Very nice letter. I like that he is down to earth.Sometimes I have liked actors and actresses a lot but then I read an interview from them and find out that they are crazy partygoers with loose morals, then I don't like them anymore.
Happy Birthday Cllian Murphy! It would be nice if you read this post. 🙂
Hi Novia,
Love this post and thanks for accommodating my little post within it. So sorry that my website broke at this critical time!!!!
I hope to be back soon.
Happy birthday Cillian, Now write back to your Number One Fan!!

You've heard it now a bazillion times: "This should go viral!" If there's any word that's been beaten up more than almost any other, it's that one. The notion of having something go viral is so compelling and so buried into our experience with digital technology, that it's become one of the biggest cliches in modern web development.
But, it's still important. Having something that spreads - whether it's a message, a product, a stance, whatever - is critical. It's how great products permeate society, and how fundamental ideas make their way into all of our heads. The problem? It's really hard.
Having something "go viral" might as well be the same as buying a lottery ticket. It's such an exceedingly rare circumstance, that it's hard to pin your strategy on that idea. That said, there are things you can do to increase the chance of your thing being spread to others, and Jonah Berger, in his book "Contagious", lays out the secrets.
Berger takes a scientific approach, citing case studies of campaigns that have gone viral in the past (like Blendtec's Will It Blend? campaign) and deconstructing the elements of those campaigns to evaluate how and why they spread. By doing this with a number of different campaigns, products and content, he identifies patterns that emerge, detailing out various aspects of what makes each so contagious.
In the book, Berger breaks down the aspects of virality into six different factors that help to contribute to the viral and contagious nature of something. Those six elements are:
- Social Currency: things that give the person spreading the thing social currency with others. Particularly relevant for remarkable, scary, awe-inspiring things.
- Triggers: viral content and things work best when they generate triggers that cause people to think of them often.
- Emotion: things that cause higher levels of physiological arousal are more apt to be shared.
- Public: what's seen gets shared.
- Practical Value: things with a high level of practicality tend to enjoy more virality than the opposite.
- Stories: stories help things spread, but in particular, when they relate directly to the thing being shared.
The book is filled with anecdotes about companies, campaigns, products and content that have "gone viral", with analysis for each one, identifying which of the above elements worked to make it successful.
If you're looking for a great guide to help you think about how to make things more naturally shareable, I'd highly recommend the book. It's an easy read, and immediately useful. Grab it now!

by Green Tech Advocates: We hear it all the time: "I'd like to go off the grid." "Produce all my own power—and store it."These declarations come from a wide swath of people. They come from those looking at modest solar photovoltaic (PV) investments to power their homes with grid-tied systems and realizing that when utility power goes out, so does their system's ability to produce power (backfeeding power on the lines is a hazard to linemen trying to repair a grid). Declarations of grid independence also come from people who are fed up with losing power for days or weeks during storms that are becoming more prevalent and more intense.
Yes, we're thinking of Hurricane Sandy victims of a decimated power infrastructure, but also of the hundreds of thousands whose power goes out regularly in big and not-so-big storms and wait for days while large and overtaxed utilities try to restore power. (Dial up anyone at random in Southern New Hampshire and ask about this, and you'll likely get an earful.)
And more and more, we're seeing homes designed and built not just with net-zero (producing your own energy) in mind, but with storing energy as well.
Way Off the Grid
A 16.6-kw solar array provides all of the home's electricity, which is stored in a bank of batteries. Photo by Mike Negron
Tim Snider's vacation home north of Flagstaff, Ariz. was designed to be off the grid from the start. It's powered by a large solar PV system, but it also stores the energy collected in a bank of batteries that are governed by a system to optimally charge them automatically—and automatically conduct load-shedding when power supplies are low.
That's not just net-zero, but off-the-grid, baby. And it's by far the coolest off-the-grid application we've seen thus far.
How off-the-grid is it? Way off. Snider's home is miles from the nearest power lines, so the home had to build to be completely self-sustainable. He started the design thinking of powering his home with liquid propane generators. He decided to add 16.6 kilowatts of solar PV to the mix, even though powering the home with generators might have been cheaper. After all, if you're going to power a home, you may as well take advantage of Arizona's abundant sunshine.
Following are the green-tech highlights from a feature article written on the house for Electronic House magazine:
Energy Producers
Six OutBack inverters (center) and a bank of 48 batteries (left) convert and store the electricity. Photo by Mike Negron
The 72-panel solar PV array produces 16.6 kw, with 260 kWh of battery storage, enough for about 36 hours of use, says Snider. A solar thermal system heats water for domestic use and the home's radiant-floor heating system, and a backup generator and water heater for times when all the power from the sun isn't enough.
The home consumes about 100 kilowatt hours (kWh) of solar energy a day when the homeowners are in residence—some of that just from keeping the backup generators warmed and ready to go.
Control and Monitoring
Custom electronics installation firmAVDomotics in Sedona, Ariz., worked with Snider to design and install a Crestron home control system and Powerhouse Dynamics' eMonitor that could monitor the power production of the solar system and power consumption, battery levels, and cut loads automatically when necessary. Crestron's AV2 processor handles the operation of the home's lighting, audio/video gear, thermostats, security system, exterior safety shutters, and pumps for the well and septic. It's paired with the eMonitor system — with its dynamic web-based interface available on a computer, Crestron touchpanels, iPads and Tim's iPhone — to show user-friendly charts and graphs of the home's production of solar power and how much energy is being consumed. Tim can also see how much power is available as stored energy in the batteries from Crestron's touchpanels and apps.
Programming for Monitoring
AVDomotics created its own "modules" within the Crestron platform to enable the automation system to communicate with an OutBack Mate2 solar inverter control system. The company also programmed the Crestron system to monitor the level of liquid propane and water available in their respective tanks. A high-end Uponor in-floor radiant heating system, which relies on water heated by the roof's solar thermal panels and liquid propane-fueled hot water in the backup tank, was integrated into the Crestron control system as well. All of these systems, plus the security system, lights and A/V gear, can be operated not only from Tim's smartphone but from three Crestron in-wall TPS-6L and one TPMC-8L touchpanels located throughout the home, in addition to three TPMC handheld remotes and three iPads using a Crestron app.
Automated Load Shedding
The Crestron system can also perform much-needed load shedding, in which it turns certain devices down or completely off to save energy. When the house is unoccupied, for example, the well and septic pumps shut off, and if there isn't much juice left in the solar system's storage batteries, the lights dim to 75 percent.
"The energy management is the best part of the system. The thing that I use the most is checking on the PV system and seeing how much energy we're producing, and I can do that from anywhere in the world," says Tim. "The first year in the house, we were learning all about it, but now my confidence level is high and I don't worry about the place as much as I used to.
"With homes like this, we're pushing the envelope not only on how much energy we can save, but how reliable and luxurious solar systems can be,"? says Charlie White of AVDomotics.
There's Entertainment, Too

The Sniders are not without entertainment. Twelve zones of audio and eight TVs, including a surround-sound system in the family room, are served by home control company Crestron's ADMS Intermedia Delivery System media server. Crestron's DigitalMedia switching technology delivers audio and video content to different areas of the house via the company's DigitalMedia fiber solution, with fiber-optic wires terminating at each of the home's TVs.
Energy-Smart Upgrades
LED lights cast a warm glow around the bar. Photo by Mike Negron
After construction, the owners realized they could save even more by swapping their incandescent lights for LEDs (light emitting diodes). White says it cost about $3,500 to replace the existing bulbs with Philips and Color Kinetics LEDs, but was well worth it, as the homeowners would have had to spend $10,000 more on solar panels to run the incandescent lights. In essence, they have already received an immediate return on their investment, and then some.
The ceiling fans that help cool the house may be in for an upgrade, too. AVDomotics may tie them to indoor and outdoor temperature sensors so they can turn on and off automatically.
"There's a lot more we can do," adds Tim. "I want some applications to only come on when batteries are full and there's still some sun to produce power. … We've gotten our propane consumption down to a low level, but now I want to manage it so I don't have to consume any carbon fuel there."
The Far Away Button
When it's time to leave for the season, the owners only have to push an away button on any of their Crestron controllers turn off everything. Then they can hop in the car, take a last look at their remote retreat, and press another button to roll down the aluminum shutters over all of the first floor windows and doors for safety and security.
For added assurance, the Sniders and AVDomotics receive alerts from the eMonitor and Crestron systems if any circuits are on or if there's a problem with a system in the home. Emails are also delivered to AVDomotics twice a day with a status report of the system, which helps the custom electronics dealer proactively remedy a situation before it becomes costly or dangerous.

text: Wilson the black cat squeezed through the tight gap in the fence to arrive at an unfamiliar house. He sniffed the grassy backyard. There didn't appear to be a sign of any domestic animal life. Birds and hedgehogs sure, but no other cats, and thankfully no dogs. Wilson jumped(more) into the open sill and squeezed through yet another gap. There was a reason why Wilson could make it through these impossibly tight openings. Yes, he was a cat, it was one of his natural abilities. But his frail frame helped out here too. Most other cats wouldn't make it through what with the meals their owners feed them. Wilson was a bedraggled, homeless cat of skin and bone. It had always been this way. Born a kitten and abandoned under a house Wilson had to fend for himself. It was lucky he was so cunning. The rest of his brothers and sisters passed away. Sadly Wilson couldn't take care of them all. He only had enough cunning to look after himself. And times were getting harder. His one dumpster dive behind the restaurant was now a no go since it's closure. Women's fashion doesn't quite have the same taste. So here was Wilson exploring beyond his normal jurisdiction. It took a while to find an open home. So many people were security conscious these days. Wilson jumped down onto the toilet seat, making certain not to fall in. It had happened before, and it was not easy getting out again. Wilson sniffed the air and found his way towards the kitchen. There it lay on the counter, a great big chicken defrosting on a platter. Wilson licked his chops. Before he could climb the counter a hand scooped him off his feet, and he felt life squeezed out of him.

Unspun data
Now that SATs are being marked and moderated, we thought it would be a good time to give you an update on how Elliot Academies are faring with OFSTED. A number of 'league tables' have been published in the last couple of weeks, which rated the Elliot Foundation as one of the best primary sponsors in the country. And whilst we are very grateful to The Times and the LGA, we think that their approaches might have been flawed or at least left out additional contextual information, which we thought we'd share to allow you to make your own decision.
To date there have been 14 OFSTED inspections of Elliot schools. Of these 11 were of sponsored academies and 3 were converters. This leaves 8 of our 22 open academies as yet to be inspected by OFSTED. Within the national data sets schools that convert to academy status get to keep their OFSTED grading where sponsored academies have theirs wiped clean. Some maintain that this favours academies when compared with LA maintained schools.
So, in the table above, we have only included those of our schools that have been inspected 'as an academy'. The rest are considered as not yet inspected.
When considering this data it is best to keep in mind:
The law of small numbers: which essentially says that it is much easier to be a big fish in a small pond
Regression to the mean: which explains that things that are below average will tend to get better and things that better than average will tend to get worse
Despite these caveats we are pleased to note that:
91% of Elliot sponsored academies inspected to date have been judged good or better
42% of all Elliot OFSTED inspections to date have been outstanding
This is more than three times the national average for academies
And more than two and a half times the national average for all schools
All this despite being three times more deprived than the national average primary school
We have always been proud of our children, teachers and school leaders. But it would appear that OFSTED is beginning to agree with us.Back to News

According to the Nielsen NetRatings, eBay is the clear leader among ecommerce websites, followed by Amazon. It is a popular site among merchants, as it allows you to do business without too much initial investment. It gives you the ability to conveniently work from home and still reach millions of customers.
One of the tricks that you can use to make money on eBay is to use financial leverage, which means carrying out a business transaction without investing your own money in it. It is often used by real estate investors, but you can use it on a smaller level on the website, without taking too many risks.
How it works
All you have to do is to hunt for discounts in stores around your house. Buy products you get at low prices through promotional offers, in wholesale markets or at unclaimed goods stores and then sell them at higher prices on eBay.
You can avoid making an investment in the purchase by using a credit card. If you manage to sell the products before the payment date, then you do not have to put any money of your own. Get hold of the products as soon as you can and do not make any delay in listing them on the site as that will give you more time for selling the products.
Minimal risks
The greatest benefit is that you hardly take any risks in this endeavor. Most of the stores will allow you to return the goods within a certain period, which will vary from two weeks to a month. If there isn't enough demand for your products, then you can just return them to the shop without losing any money.
Don't wait too long
In most cases, you should not keep a product for too long as you could miss the return deadline. Moreover, your credit card payment date would be near and you will have to pay for the product from your own pocket. Keeping the product unsold for too long will end up making you lose the leverage eventually.
Do not be discouraged if your product does not sell initially. This experience is valuable as it gives you a feel of the market. It also helps you in understanding how you should price your products in future so that you can attract more customers and grow your business.

Rickshaw Stop celebrated its 10th birthday this year, but the onetime auto shop, TV studio, and now music club exists in a state of perpetual adolescence. In a town where everyone and everything seeks improvement and progress, the unmarked Fell Street spot has happily stayed its own funky self. It's neither a rock venue nor a dance club, but some cross between; the atmosphere, with its reclaimed white marble bar and actual rickshaws imported from Southeast Asia, finds a happy medium between casually divey and comfortably posh. All of which is not to say that the club hasn't grown up some in the last decade. Once prone to reaching hellish temperatures, Rickshaw now has a big cooling system that keeps dancers mostly dry. A new upstairs bar has replaced the lung-squelching smoking room. And there even are couches from which you can see the stage! But it's really all about the music, and the Rickshaw cultivates a remarkably consistent calendar: Local bands galore, the latest and greatest in under-the-radar touring acts, and offbeat dance parties fill the place most evenings. Thursdays bring the legendary Popscene club night, in which Live 105 Music Director Aaron Axelsen imports acts everyone will be freaking out about in 18 months. So yeah, you could argue that the Rickshaw Stop has changed in the last decade. But we'd say it's just gotten better.

How To Enjoy Economic Performance From Your Car?
The fuel prices are hiking at jet dynamic speed across the country in current scenario as an impact of hike in the prices of crude oil. It is believed that if there is no decline in the cost of crude oil in the international market there would be more hike in fuel prices during coming days. This is creating the lines of tensions on the faces of car owners as going through the average of 15 kmpl to 25 kmpl delivered by the vehicles in India, if driven under standard condition, the actual performance delivered by the cars is quite low. Going through this problem, the car owners have started searching for either optional sources of the transport or taking vehicles to the mechanics for improving their fuel efficiency.
Interestingly, if they try to improve their driving habits they could easily witness amazing changes in the fuel consumption figures of their vehicle.
1. Fill appropriate air pressure in the tyres: Always try to fill the air pressure as suggested by the original manufacturer of car to not only enjoy the comfortable drive but also to enjoy substantial fuel economy. The inflated tyres results in the friction which indirectly results in the unnecessary loss of the kinetic energy. To improve the fuel efficiency figures you can increase the pressure of air in the tyres up-to certain PSI. Doing this smoothens the side walls and also minimizes the contact patch of the tyre. This although is a good trick to enjoy improved fuel efficiency but it also results in blowouts if the tyre are inflated and lowers the grip, therefore it would be better to do not adopt this trick.
2. Do not carry heavy luggage: Going through the huge boot space it is seen that lots of car owners try to carry heavy bags with them along with huge fleet of their family members. Now, as every member has to go out in the car it would be better to ask them to take necessary items with them so as to avoid useless burden on the car. Here, one thing which needs to be kept in concern is that never try to take out the spare wheel and necessary tools from the boot space as you might feel their need anytime without any prior notice.
3. Get your car serviced at regular intervals: There are lots of motorists who feel that getting their car serviced once a year is enough to enjoy its economic performance. If you are also among one of them, then you making a big mistake. Because as there is decline in the performance of every machine due to its regular wear and tear, the machinery of your car is not an exception to it. Checking the level of oil and coolant at regular intervals will help in improving the fuel efficiency of the car to certain extent. Along with this, replacing the air filters, fuel and oil filters also play an important role in offering improved fuel performance. Apart from these factors checking the condition of spark plugs could also help in improving an overall performance of the vehicle.
4. Try to park your car in shade: Driving a car without an air conditioner is generally not possible in the situation when the temperature is about 50 degree. The exterior temperature makes the interior temperature excessively hot and an air conditioner will require enough time to cool the interior of the car after it is switched on. This adversely puts additional pressure on the air conditioner of your vehicle. To avoid such problem it would be better to park the car in shade.
5. Drive in correct gear: There are lots of people who think that driving at the high gear helps in improving the fuel performance figures and therefore keep on changing gear as soon as drive their vehicle. Driving the car in right gear at right RPM is helpful in enjoying improved fuel efficiency, especially if you have to drive in high traffic conditions.
Following the above mentioned guidelines could help you in enjoying the improved performance of your vehicle not only in the current scenario, when the prices of fuel are touching the sky, but also when the prices are within your reach.

And our Aim at Melanoma Walk for the Cure that was held in Charlotte. Last year, I felt like a roving reporter, writing all about our every move. This year I was on the quiet side.
Absorbing. Processing.
Don't get me wrong. It was wonderful seeing old friends and hugging new ones. And they came in from around the country to be here. For us all to get together and spend the weekend getting acquainted and reacquainted. Not to mention that the day was gorgeous. The weather beautiful. The people smiling, even through some tears. It was, all-in-all, a spectacular weekend.
And I got to hug and spend quality time with Crabby. My better half in our melanoma community. Susan Hayes, mama of Jillian who died from melanoma in December at the age of 23.
Jillian should have been here, on this earth, and not Susan at a walk. None of us should have been at that walk. And if life had gone differently, you know what? Probably none of us would have been. But, we were where we needed to be because life is what it is and this is where we are and what we live with.
Melanoma is part of our lives, in some form or fashion. Some of us live with it in our bodies. Some live with it seared in their memories. Some live with it up close and personal as they love and care for one with it. We ALL see what it really means to have this disease. To fight the fight and battle the battles. To die from it. We see it. We live it. We know what it means.
Susan and I got to have a long talk about all this. She's the person behind a growing series of billboards that feature melanoma warriors. Her latest billboard is dedicated to those, like Jillian, who are no longer with us on this planet...but who SHOULD be! She shouldn't be staring down at her mama, forever young with her dog, and her life now pictures, boxes and memories. Her mama shouldn't have been in Charlotte, and she wouldn't have been had Jillian been alive. Again, none of us would probably have been there if we weren't directly affected by this disease.
Susan and I talked about the progression of this disease. The Jillian on the billboard isn't the Jillian who died...in a way. Cancer changed her looks, her abilities. It changed everything about the life she lived. Jillian was beautiful and vibrant. She took center stage. She was athletic. She tanned. She got melanoma. She died. And between all those periods her dashes changed too. And all of that is Susan's to tell and share in her own way, in her own time, if she ever does. If a billboard is ever created that shows what warriors are like at the end of their journey...it will look VERY different from the billboards as they now are.
The world probably isn't ready for that. And neither, frankly, are the families with images of their loved ones final days permanently tattooed in their brains and souls.
We know the reality of this disease. And we walk to end it so it doesn't become the reality of other families. Other people so much like ourselves. There was a time that WE didn't get it. WE didn't know. WE didn't understand. WE ignored and looked the other way. WE didn't listen.
WE didn't walk.
WE do now because we get it.
Melanoma. It isn't what you may think it is.

Find and book unique accommodations on Airbnb
Guests agree: these stays are highly rated for location, cleanliness, and more.
Villa Azul is located on nearly half an acre with 130 ft of beach front and a huge swimming pool right in the middle. Soak in the pool or laze on the deck and take in the crystal turquoise ocean panorama that Grand Turk is so famous for. The cool ocean trade winds and sounds of waves lapping only 50 feet from the house take all cares away while you relax with a tropical drink and watch the most amazing sunsets you will ever see.
"Villa Azul is an amazing place to stay. The home is immaculate and there is no deferred maintenance, which is difficult in a tropical marine environment. Because the hosts live next door, they are able to stay on top of everything and offer amenities like a sparkling clean pool, lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach, and even a daily raking of the beach itself. The house is very well appointed and the linens, towels, appliances and such are all top of the line. There are lots of french doors to allow a steady breeze through the house and a large screened patio with a huge table and sectional couch where we ate most meals. There is AC in all the rooms though we only used them in our bedrooms while sleeping. To the north the beach is wild and lonesome for long quiet walks. To the south there are a few people; literally 3-4 that appeared over Christmas week from the Bohio dive resort and a few rental houses. Cockburn Town is a few miles away and the cruise ships are at the opposite end of the island, so having a car is a good idea. There are several grocery stores with most essentials and fresh produce, but bring coffee, cheese, snack items, and a liter of your favorite alcohol in your luggage. There is nothing close to the quality of Villa Azul anywhere on the island. EG and Colin are a wonderful couple who are living their dream and sharing it with the rest of us. On that note, they had suggestions for a private chef who made our Christmas dinner (Ed from Ridge Cafe, amazing experience), for a local dive operator (Grand Turk Divers, hi Jason, Smitty and Daniel!) and even a local who rented us his car, a roomy Honda Odyssey which was able to carry us and our gear (hi Art!). They also recommended a local (renowned) fishermen who took us out on his 29 foot center console for an exciting afternoon of deep sea fishing; we caught 8 yellow fin tuna and a barracuda, and fought three 100# wahoos that broke off near the boat (hi Kell, Joe and Catherine!). EG and Colin even offer "dog therapy" with three friendly potcakes (ask EG what that means). Grand Turk is a bit battered and run down from hurricanes and such, but the beaches are beautiful and the scuba diving along the west wall is fantastic. Except for the cruise ship passengers who come and go like the tides, it is uncrowded and authentically Caribbean."
Welcome to "BEACHSIDEBUNGALOW" our private home directly on the beach. No tourists or high rises, just you and your loved one on the beach -- it doesn't get much better than this! It's like you found your own private island. Grand Turk is a special little quiet place which has yet to be discovered by the masses. Read all our 50 plus - 5 star reviews on our main booking website BeachsideBungalow.... Whole house air-conditioned, many places in the Turks are not..
"We loved this rental so much! I would give it 10 stars for location if I could. It took us a day to feel comfortable but once we had our golf cart and groceries, we didn't want to leave. I highly recommend reserving the golf cart with Omar beforehand so he can have it waiting for you in the driveway. The large side was already booked so the five of us stayed on the small side...my 18 yr old daughter slept on the couch and it was just fine. One of the best parts was watching the cruise ships leave and having the island go quiet again. Star gazing at night on the deserted beach was amazing! We would definitely book again. Thank you."
Please note: - The offending dog mentioned in some of the reviews has now moved to a nice new home. Pelican House is located on the island of Grand Turk, (not Providenciales) located mid island and less than a minutes walk to the beach. We are centrally and ideally located and a short walk to all the dives shops, bars, restaurants & grocery stores. The studios are spacious, well equipped & comfortable.

Hello Traders and Bookmap I also need Keyboard Shortcuts for BookMap.
I think we need keyboard shortcuts for:
Buy Market
Sell Market
Buy Bid
Sell Ask
FLATTEN POSITION --- that is wayyy too slow with mouse
Move stop to click price
Move target order to click
These are very very necessary for BM.
I also have other ideas that I would like to create custom -- so I need to know if I can hire a programmer to make me these shortcuts and make me a custom one.

I'm using 7.6.1. Pro.
When trying to convert a lead, if I try to create both a new account and contact, then the 'convert' button remains inactive. I've tried to ensure all the required fields of these two records are complete.
If I associate both an existing contact and account, then I can 'convert' the lead.
Any thoughts on the best way to trouble-shoot this?

Had such an amazing time for my stag do! Would recommend this place 100%, friendly staff and easy to talk to! Would definitely come back again!
Alex - Stag Weekend - Sept 19
My daughter had her hen weekend here, despite the fact it had been raining all week and the ground was wet, we had a fabulous time. The activities were brilliant and the attention to detail from the staff was second to none. There is a large indoor seating area with tables as well as a lovely indoor Bar-B-Q shed, the crowning glory is the fire pit, for a cool evening this is a lovely way to sit and socialise, there is plenty of wood to keep the fire going but the staff are also on hand a very good at keeping it topped up. Highly recommend.
Linda - Hen weekend - Aug 19
I organised a stag do at one of the Glamping camps and it was perfect, food and activities all taken care of by the staff who made for an excellent weekend. The accommodation is great and there are bbq and kitchen areas to use. The campfire was roaring all weekend. Would highly recommend anyone booking a stag to consider it, you'll be in safe hands and have a great weekend.
Tom Fleetwood - Stag weekend - July 19
Saturday we did our chosen activities – Code Breaking & Rafting. These were so well organised and fun, also great for big groups to bond and get to know one another. Big shout out to Chris and Pav, our amazing hosts for the day who managed to put up with 18 rather strong willed, hyper and hungover ladies! You guys were great and we can't thank you enough for making it such a giggle.
Hollie Hunt - Hen Weekend - July 19
I would like to begin this review with a huge THANK YOU to the Oaker Wood Team. We organised a weekend at the camp for our friends hen party – from the initial enquiries stage, all the way through to the weekend itself the team were beyond helpful. I spoke to many Glamping venues and most were proving inflexible in terms of people, activities and options. Oaker Wood has a very simple and organised set up, however the team were more than happy to make tweaks to the package to suit the needs of our group.
Hollie Hunt - Hen Weekend - July 19
The staff and facilities were great and friendly. Amazing weekend for my stag do.
Matt Fleetwood - Stag Weekend - July 19
Great weekend away for stag do including paintballing and raft building, would definitely return! Lovely location
Josh - Stag weekend - July 19
What an amazing place Oaker Wood is...upon arrival our camp site was immaculate, camp fire was ready to go and staff were brilliant. Ended up doing quad biking, rafting and paint balling and each activity was brilliantly put together by the team. Had a right laugh. It's been a fantastic weekend in an amazing place. Would 100% recommend this place and I really hope we all come back in the future.
Luke's Stag weekend - July 19
What can I say about Oaker. Such accommodating staff when booking, easy to communicate and organise everything with. Staff super friendly before booking and on the day of the hen's activities. The group of us booked in for target shooting which was great fun and code breaker. We had the most amazing day made super special by the staff and the actual activities we picked. There are sooo many different activities there is something to suit everyone. Thanks for an amazing day. Maxine

Employees within the transport industry frequently face the risk of assault or abuse. From delivery drivers on the road to public transport workers such as ticket inspectors and bus drivers – they're all vulnerable, especially as many work in isolation often in unsociable hours. Protect your workforce with Guardian24's safety alarms and mobile applications.
The nature of risk faced by these employees can range from verbal abuse, armed robbery, racial threats, physical abuse, threat by knives and firearm, aggression and kidnaps. These means of attack can occur for various reasons.
Public Transport
In the public transport sector there is a strong link between anti-social behaviour and staff assaults. Offences against staff arise from a minor issues such as fare dodging or dealing with irate passengers over delays. Alcohol is a major factor in staff assaults. and it is found that risk can increase when working late or early morning shifts.
Statistics Show:
The Office of Rail and Road reports that in 2016-17, there was 10,422 incidents that resulted in injury to staff on the UK's rail network – 164 being classified as 'Major Injury Sustained'.
Overall the majority of London Underground reported that 45 per cent of work-related violence remain related to fare evasion, in particular not having a ticket for travel.
Alcohol is a contributory factor in 28 per cent of incidents.
Irish Rail recorded over 1,000 anti-social behaviour incidents in 18 months – up 43% in a one-year period.
A major bus operator in Ireland reported a rise in incidents with physical assaults on staff doubled in 12 months. Three bus services were taken out of operation due to repeated attacks.
Haulage and Logistics
The law requires lorry drivers to rest at times. However, they should be able to park up without the fear of being a victim of crime. Thieves use knives to gain access to the goods and puts driver's lives at risk. Assaults and threats are also made regularly. For many years, priority has been to protect the vehicle via measures such as tracking systems. However, these solutions don't cover the driver's safety, especially as they are at risk when away from the vehicle.
Statistics Show:
A survey of over 2,000 drivers by the International Road Transport Union showed that 476 had been attacked during the past 5 years. 30% of the victims had been attacked more than once.
Road freight crime is a common problem across Europe and costs the UK economy up to £250million every year.
Thefts, attempted thefts, and thefts from vehicles are consistently more likely to take place in the evening or at night. 78% of vehicle theft in the UK takes place at night, compared to only 22% during the day.
In just one year, over 1,600 trucks were stolen in the UK and half were never recovered.
"Guardian24 has a history of being the 'first to market' and they have led the movement to specific Smartphone solutions, over 6 months ahead of competitors. With Guardian24 via Smartphone our staff can utilise existing equipment, which we have already invested in and staff are familiar with, thus reducing costs, but still retaining a high quality of service."

Lil' Cooper on way! Bradley's girlfriend Irina Shayk is expecting
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Dec. 1 (ANI): Look like Bradley Cooper's days of fatherhood and parenting are not very far away. Multiple sources informed that the 41-year-old actor's supermodel girlfriend Irina Shayk is pregnant with their first child, reports E! Online. According to one insider, the 30-year-old pregnant star is in her second trimester and is "so excited" about becoming a mother for the very first time. The couple's rep, however, did not respond to requests for comment on the happy news. The Russian model recently strut the 'Victoria's Secret Fashion Show' in Paris, where she made her runway debut for the lingerie giant in a range of barely-there bras and see-through panties. The mom-to-be also donned a trench coat with one of her runway looks and a red fringe robe with another one of her sexy ensembles. Backstage, she kept her midriff covered up while in the brand's signature pink silk robe as she got runway ready. Shayk was joined by the show's bevy of angels including Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Maria Borges, Adriana Lima, Megan Williams to name a few. (ANI)

ISO change is needed when you cannot get a fast enough shutter speed for your situation – and no other time (unless you want noise for an arty look – which is a legitimate use). A faster shutter speed is needed when faced with one of two problems –
- 1) a fast moving subject that you'd like to freeze OR
- 2) to offset camera movement (shake) which is not the case when using a tripod.
- If neither of these two cases describe your situation then do not raise the ISO above your camera's normal minimum. [See note at bottom re. "normal" minimum.]
Over the past few days two people said that they raised ISO to brighten an image. Hopefully, next month's lesson on exposure will correct that misunderstanding. (I apologize for not doing exposure first as it should have been.) As an exposure preview please note that
- When shooting in aperture or shutter priority modes, the only way to change exposure (lightness/darkness of your image) is by changing the exposure compensation setting (EV). This will be covered in detail in upcoming lessons.
Here's a test to demonstrate that ISO has NOTHING to do with shifting your histogram/exposure. Demonstrate this to yourself by shooting a scene while changing only one thing – ISO in 1-stop increments (200, 400, 800, 1600) – nothing else. Use aperture priority mode. Don't worry about how dark or light the image is, that's not the point of this test. After taking those four pictures (hopefully the ambient light did not change during the sequence) look at the EXIF data. Specifically look at the shutter speed. You should see the following – each successive shutter speed is 1/2 the previous one (the previous being the one with an ISO 1-stop less). This illustrates my point – increasing ISO will yield a faster shutter speed.
Also, in this test note that the exposure (light/dark appearance) doesn't change from image to image – only the shutter speed changes. If you find otherwise, please report back (and include all of your settings).
NOTE – some camera's have "extra-high and extra-low" ISO options. For example, my Nikon's default low ISO is 200. However, the camera offers a 100 which it calls L1. This L1 setting, albeit lower than the default 200, is not the normal minimum. When someone tells you to use your lowest normal ISO, if you were using my Nikon, you'd use 200 and not the L1 (100). I won't go into the reasons – just don't.

Up at dawn and caught tuk tuks to the river. We saw a very simple dawn ceremony come to a close on the banks of the river. No one was there except the monks and us. We boarded our boat again.
On our first evening on the river, we gently dropped lotus leaves with rose petals and a lit candle into the Ganga. I think it began to get to me then. We had five each. Five wishes, happiness for everyone, my parents, love for all, peace and one more.
This morning, on the Ganga which was very still, you could barely distinguish the water from the sky. Surrounded by mist we could have been on a different planet. I felt I was in the middle of the most peaceful and endless place on earth. Floating down the river as the mist lifted and the sun rose, we saw the Ghats some to life. It really is a river of life, from new born puppies, kids flying kites, people doing laundry for themselves or hotel guests, yoga, prayers, wedding and pyres prepared for funerals. And everything else in-between that could fit in. You can not help but realise you are looking at a tableaux of the circle of life. This morning, floating there, I knew that I would be a slightly different person disembarking than I was when I got on the boat.
Until this moment I had resisted Varanasi. But it got to me in the end.
Then a boat approached us with a TV on board (powered by goodness knows what) selling DVDs and I come back to earth. Pradeep finds a kite and flies it from the boat.
Got back to the hotel and had breakfast outside. Then Rob, Monica and I hired a tuk and went to Sarnath, which is where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon. It's a very significant place for Buddhists. The gardens were beautiful. It was very peaceful. I took off my shoes to feel the lawn under my feet. The inner peace I feel here is like no other place.
We went to a museum and then our driver took us to show us a couple of temples, a Chinese one and a Japanese one. I recognised one of the chants in the Japanese temple that I've heard a points throughout my life. It feels right that it meets me here again today.
We return to the hotel and say our farewells to Tim, Rachel and Jonathan who had to fly to Delhi for Jonathan to make his flight home. Rachel and Tim are heading off to Darjeeling.
Our overnight train to Delhi is delayed, so Margaret and Monica make the decision to get on a flight too, so they don't miss their flight out of Delhi tomorrow. So, it's just Rob, Frank, Gaye, Pete, Pradeep and me remain. We are sad to leave for the train station. It's strange not to have the entire gang here.
The overnight train is a brand new one. We are all in the same compartment. I fell asleep as soon as we departed. I had a comfy night and the best night's sleep.
SARNATH – The place where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon.
