Schwangau is home to one of Europe's most popular and picturesque attractions. Framed by majestic mountains and glittering lakes, the provincial town is a postcard picture of provincial perfection. Enjoying a serene situation upon the renowned Romantic Road, this quaint and quintessential village oozes antique charm and cultural charisma; steeped in the ancient traditions of the past, Schwangau promises to appease those with an insatiable appetite for authenticity.
With its talismanic turrets, granite sloped roofs and glimmering whi8te façade, the Neuschwanstein Castle truly captures the essence of fairy tale fantasies. The Walt Disney castle is reputed to have been based on this stunning structure. Built by the demented King Ludwig during the 18th century, the castle's superficial beauty is enhanced by its majestic mountain setting. Ensure you brave the veritignous suspension bridge that towers over the rushing waterfall below for some phenomenal photography opportunities.
Less known and therefore frequented is the Hohenschwangau, an appealingly alternative castle whose luscious lakeside location and lesser status results in a serene sojourn. A grand Gothic façade is complimented by seemingly interminable turrets, all of which is enhanced by the luscious lakeside location of the structure.
Enjoy a decadent and delightful dining experience at the elegant and exquisite Rubezahl Restaurant. Boasting a prime position overlooking the Neuschwanstein Castle, the eatery serves perfectly presented and locally sourced meals from an internationally inspired and innovative menu. Carefully selected wines perfectly accompany your gastronomic delight, resulting in an unforgettable dinner. (Am Ehberg 31, 87645, Schwangau, Germany)

The Susquehanna River as a Metaphor for the Melancholy that Seeps Through Each Generation of My Family
Cover Art: William H. Rau, Picturesque Susquehanna, near Laceyville, L.V.R.R. c. 1898. Albumen silver print from a glass negative. MOMA.
The Susquehanna River as a Metaphor for the Melancholy that Seeps Through Each Generation of My Family
Wide-mouthed and cruel, cold, debris-laden,
it smirks, reclines in its banks, satisfied to watch us
watching it. In winter, it is bound within its own mind,
a locked up land of ice that cracks and heaves
to show its power still.
In spring, it is the rage and the roar of it,
the melting snows that feed it, feed it;
it is the way it catches light, reflecting and repeating,
mesmerizing us, undulating in dark swirls.
The best houses line its shores, eyeing it warily.
Born a year after the big flood, a childhood tucked
safely away from its power, I, too, have been trained
to gauge its steady rising and falling,
that imperceptible sound becoming the rhythm of my life,
trained to monitor its every mood.
Jennifer Judge's work has appeared in Literary Mama, Blueline, Under the Gum Tree, The Comstock Review, and Rhino, among others. She has lived, worked, and created in northeastern Pennsylvania her entire life.

"Freedom lies in being bold." ~ Robert Frost
Finding freedom is a sweet thing. I'd like to think I found it, to a certain degree. I'm not 100% where I want to be, but then again who is. Even the most successful person aspires to be more .As you pursue increased happiness and the freedom to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. The simplicity in living a better life is by making small positive changes.
Change Bad Habits-they tend to stick around like a bad penny. Ignore those addictions and horrible habits, make a choice that you won't be ruled by them.
Choose to Grow-I speak about this almost daily. It's so easy to get stuck in a rut of the life that you spend so much time complaining about. In re-evaluating yourself and choosing to grow, you build character, embrace your strengths, become aware more of the areas in your life needing some improvement, and blossom into the well-rounded person you need to be to succeed.
Again Finding Balance In Your Life- Where do you need balance? Are you all work, no play? Could you use more discipline in your schedule?
~Happy Monday!! Take a deep breath and marrch on til Friday 🙂

Something MoreEmail This Share This Tweet This
by Gil Rendle, TMF Senior Vice President
Our friends, Casper and Angie, have offered us "Something More."
In past blogs, and in our reporting on the December 2015 TMF gathering, "The Forum on Wesleyan Potential," we introduced you to these new TMF friends, Casper ter Kuile and Angie Thurston. Recent graduates of Harvard Divinity School, they have fresh eyes and very different life experiences that enable them to see things in radically new ways.
For decades now, church leaders, fueled by generational anxiety, have been asking, "How do we get young millennial folks to our gatherings." Angie and Casper asked that question in a way I probably wouldn't have thought of. They more simply asked, "How do these young millennial folks gather?"
Young adults are already gathering, and forming community, and seeking ways to better their lives and their communities. I wouldn't have known where to look. Casper and Angie helped me to see the purposeful and healthy young communities forming in odd places like exercise gyms (CrossFit and SoulCycle), in community-based dinner parties organized on the Internet, and in a multitude of other places. (How We Gather)
We've been so worried about other denominations, non-denominational churches, and cultural secularism, who would have guessed that our "competition" for the hearts and minds of young adults would come in such strange and interesting forms?
Thankfully, Angie and Casper have taken their curiosity further, and in the process discovered "something more." They discovered that millennial young adults easily talk about soulful community, or the collective well-being, or the circle that encompasses all. In other words, a lot of what lies at the heart of their search for community is spiritual after all.
Casper and Angie acknowledge that these are often fledgling communities searching for something for which they don't yet have a clear language. And so they show up in places like Pop-up Shabbat, or Laundry Project, or Living School for Action and Contemplation, or Buddhist Geeks, or many other places, unbeknownst to most of us. Their report is well worth your reading. (Something More)
Perhaps their real gift to us is that Angie and Casper are helping us learn how to start with better questions. Instead of asking, "How do we get millennial adults to our gatherings," it may be more helpful to begin the conversation by asking, "How do they already gather?" Instead of asking, "How are we to give the meaning and purpose of life that we find in the 'something more' of Christ," we might begin by asking, "How are these young millennials already searching for and finding something more?"
These millennial communities aren't always, you'll discover, just millennial, and they usually aren't at all church-like. But they are there, and they are offering the hope, the disciplines, and the transformation for lives and communities that the church too easily thought was ours alone to offer.
It would be simple, but perhaps knee-jerk, to think that all that these folks need to do is give up their curious ways and come join us. That is not going to happen. Like all efforts of evangelism, Christian mission, and deep caring for others, it is not wise for us to rush in with our own answers to tell these folk we have what they are looking for.
TMF is committed to finding creative, courageous innovators looking for deeper wells of meaning and change. Angie and Casper are helping us discover where to look. Let's listen and learn first. Let's learn how these innovators gather, what they do, what they are learning, what difference it is making for them.
Let's ask, "What is the nature of spiritual formation in communities of ministry outside the congregational norm?" Perhaps the next step would then be to ask, "How can we help? In the name of Christ, in our passion to change lives and to transform the world, how can we help?"
Editor's note: Our TMF blog shares stories and essays inspired by our purpose: to help individuals, families, congregations and like-minded organizations achieve their God-inspired potential. In this entry, Gil Rendle asks religious institutions to "listen and learn" from innovative communities sprouting up across the landscape.

Follow a descending trail that leads to a deep, ancient gorge carved by prehistoric glacial meltwater to falls that plunge 45 feet into a basin.
What makes Royalston Falls a special place?
We think it's the remote location of the waterfalls – well worth the 0.8-mile descent to the edge a half-hidden ravine! Carved over the ages by Falls Brook, the boisterous cascade plunges 45 feet into an icy pool, sending up a misty spray through the thick forest hugging the gorge. A shelter on the trail offers a great resting spot.
As you make your way into the ravine, the dramatic falls remain hidden within an emerald cloak of dense forest and ferns. The flume appears suddenly, as if to offer a sensory reward for your exertions. In winter, freezing spray creates a fantastic landscape of ice.
Please note: The trek is not an easy one – and can be very wet in places, so you should use extreme caution when walking here.
The Forest's Comeback
From the time of the first wave of European settlers in the 17th century, much of the Massachusetts forest was cut down for agricultural fields and pastures, firewood, and timber. Such wholesale land clearing continued into the 19th century until New England farmers abandoned their fields and headed west in search of richer, less rocky soil.
Today, the resurgent forest continues to slowly erase all remnants of human activity from more than a century ago.
But at this reservation, the forces of nature manifest themselves in ways other than just flora reclaiming its own; Falls Brook not only carved the flume but also fashioned a series of natural bridges through the bedrock just upstream.
A large group shelter, which overlooks Falls Brook, is available for overnight hikers. The shelter is located on the reservation near the intersection where the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail diverges from the Tully Trail.
A Tale of Two Trails
The primary access route to the falls is along a short stretch of the Tully Trail, a 22-mile loop encircling the scenic Tully Valley. But this 0.8-mile pathway down to Falls Brook is also part of the much longer Metacomet-Monadnock Trail. The M-M Trail extends for 117 miles from the border with Connecticut near Springfield to Mount Monadnock in southwest New Hampshire.
1.5 miles of trails. Moderate hiking, strenuous in places. The trail is rugged and wet in places, so use extreme caution when hiking.
The reservation is a link in the Tully Trail and the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail.
When to Visit
Year-round, daily, sunrise to sunset. Allow a minimum of 1 hour.
Interested in camping near Royalston Falls? Check out the Tully Lake Campground, also in Royalston.
There are no alerts or announcements at this time.

I stayed at the Wild Orchard Villa for two nights, costing approximately £20 per night. The hotel was not far from Khao San Road, and the rooms were a little on the small side but clean and comfortable.
During my week volunteering at Elephant Nature Park, I made friends with a Thai girl called Minnie who was on a week's holiday from Bangkok. Before I left ENP, Minnie said that if I was ever in Bangkok I should drop her a message to meet up, so I took her up on that offer!
We met up in Khao San Road and took a local bus to Minnie's favourite restaurant for lunch. We then took the MRT to Chatuchak Park where we hired a pedalo and peddled along the river.
It was hard to believe that I was still in Bangkok; Chatuchak Park was so peaceful and green compared to the bustling streets back in the city centre.
We then headed to Chatuchak Market. Minnie spoke to a random man riding a scooter, and the next thing I know we're jumping on the back of his scooter because he was dropping us off at the market for free! I didn't think the three of us would fit on it, but we did.
Minnie showed me the local delicacies and had me trying meal worms and bamboo worms!
The market sold almost anything, including animals. From from budgies to monkeys and dogs, it was sad to see them squeezed into small cages.
We made our way back to the city, where I said my goodbyes to Minnie and met up with my friends Natalie and Laurel. I was really grateful that Minnie had given up her day to show me around and we'd had such a good day together. It was nice getting to know her more too.
Natalie, Laurel and I had dinner and made our way to Khao San Road where we started the night off drinking buckets of cocktails and attempting to try barbecued scorpion!
We then jumped in a tuk tuk which took us to a ping pong show! The girls hadn't been to one before and because I'd seen one in Phuket the previous year, they thought I was a pro at them?! The one I saw in Phuket was just off a side road along Bangla Road in Patong, but this one took us at least a 15 minute tuk tuk journey away from Khao San Road – I thought we were going to die, but we thankfully survived!

gout treatment causes prevention - Gout- warning signs
Gout- warning signs
A gout attack strikes when you least expected it, that is to say at night. When you are sleeping peacefully, you suddenly feel some tenderness in the large joint of your big toe. That is a gout flare. That area suddenly becomes swollen, red and extremely painful. You might also develop a fever when suffering from a gout flare. The next 24 hours will also be very painful when having a gout.
If you find yourself or your loved one suffering from a gout attack, it is unlikely you would hesitate to seek professional help. The pain of an acute gout attack has been compared to the pain of childbirth.
Natural Remedy
People Said About
Goutezol Gout Treatment
I was only 30 when I got a gout attack. Goutezol really helped me to get over the attack in just two days and the ebook helps me with watching what I'm eating. My uncle have had gout problems too, so I recommended your product. Thanks a lot!
" Matt, California
gout treatment causes prevention
- Genetics. A family history of gout increases the chance of developing gout by 20 percent. - Gender. Men are much more likely than women to develop gout.
If you take Vitamin C for gout as a dietary supplement, remember that it is reckoned to work better in a product that contains added citrus bioflavonoids. In addition, because it is excreted quickly, take it twice daily. To avoid excess acidity (lower pH) also take alkalizing minerals, or another alkalizing agent recommended by your doctor.
Should you take Vitamin C for gout? The answer is probably yes, but read on for a possibly relevant caution. Gout cures require that uric acid levels be reduced. Vitamins and drugs work in two ways to reduce uric acid levels. One is restricting its supply by inhibiting purine breakdown into uric acid, the other is improving uric acid's breakdown into the urine. Vitamin C is thought to be a uric acid excretory, not an inhibitor. Improving excretion may be more important than reducing production.
- Obesity. Body weight has an impact on the bodies' ability to process uric acid properly, and puts a greater load on your joints. - Medical Conditions. High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and medicines used to treat such conditions increase the likelihood of developing gout.
What are the risk factors? - Alcohol. Excessive consumption of alcohol is believed to inhibit the bodies' ability to dispose of excess uric acid.
In the 2005 study by how much did 500 mg of Vitamin C reduce their uric acid level? It found an average, across all participants, reduction of about 10% (0.5 mg/dL). In addition, reductions were larger among participants who had higher levels of uric acid at the start of the study. Participants took the 500 mg daily level for two months. Those who were given a placebo (i.e. not Vitamin C) showed a slight increase in uric acid levels.
There is no sure way to determine if you will have gout, until you have your first flare up. If you have already had a gout attack, you know that you never want to have another one. There are a number of prescription medications available to treat gout, and you should discuss with your physician what you should take.
0.5 mg/dL is a useful reduction but for most people probably not a natural remedy for gout, although the 0.5 mg/dL figure is an average and some participants did better. But a 0.5mg/dL reduction will not be enough to reduce uric acid below the 6.0 mg/dL level at which the MSU crystals may dissolve. However, when combined with other vitamins for gout, a low purine diet and other natural remedies for gout, it could be.
- Age. Men are most likely to develop gout between the ages of forty and fifty. Women generally develop gout after menopause. What can we do about gout?
- Avoid Alcohol. As stated before, alcohol interferes with the body excreting uric acid. Definitely stay away from alcohol if you are experiencing a gout attack.
What is gout? Gout is a form of arthritis resulting from deposits of uric acid crystals formed in the bodies' joints. A gout attack will usually attack only one joint at a time, the big toe being the most common. Other joints that may also be impacted by gout are the feet, ankle, knee, hand, and wrist. The pain will typically last five to fourteen days, at which point the crystals will leave the joint.
One complicating factor is that elusive fact that most people with hyperuricemia (excess uric acid)do not get gout. Another is that some people with normal uric acid levels do.
Foods with high and moderately high purine levels include: - All other meat - Other beans, such as kidney, lima, navy, lentil - Some vegetables, such as asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, and spinach
What causes gout? This question is still up in the air. The quick answer is that hyperuricemia, which is an elevated blood level of uric acid, is responsible for gout. With that said, not all patients with hyperuricemia develop gout, and some patients with gout do not have hyperuricemia. Although it is not clear how hyperuricemia relates to gout, one thing is clear; gout is associated with sudden changes in uric acid levels in the blood.
Previously it has been thought that the amount needed was at least 4,000 mg (4 grams) daily. For example, Dr. Robert Atkins in his book " Vita Nutrient Solutions," recommended 5,000 -10,000 mg as part of his formula natural remedy for gout.
Self help! There are a number of things that you can do for yourself to decrease your chance of developing gout, or having a recurrence. I must state however that there is no guaranteed way to prevent a gout attack. Important Disclaimer; Many of the following suggestions are intended to decrease your blood uric acid level. Ultimately, this should be your goal, but a sudden drop in your blood uric acid level, may cause a gout attack. I suggest that all lifestyle changes be made at a moderate pace to decrease the risk.
1,000 MG PLUS DOSES If you wish to try Vitamin C for gout in doses over 1,000 mg as part of a natural gout remedy discuss it with your doctor or a qualified naturopathic doctor. The 500 mg level is below the British government's 1,000 mg (1 gram) recommended upper safety level safety limit for Vitamin C. It is half of the maximum amount (1,000 mg) in a Vitamin C tablet sold in the U.S. and many other countries.
A few studies over the past 30 years have concluded that Vitamin C will reduce the uric acid level. They have differed in the amount of Vitamin C given to study participants. A U.S. study of 184 non-smokers, published in 2005, concluded that the amount required to achieve a serum (blood) uric acid level reduction was 500 mg daily. (The Vitamin C was taken as a supplement). This is not a mega dose.
You can have your gout treated, but it does not make any difference when it come to symptoms. The gout symptoms will actually go away in about one week, even if you do not treat your gout signs. Furthermore, there is always the chance that you will not suffer from another gout flare again. However, if you do suffer from other gout flares, this do not look so good for you. As time passes, the gout attacks become more painful. There is also the risk that if suffering from more than one gout attack, the duration of the attacks increases with time.
When suffering from a gout, there are more factors of risk involved. However, one of those factors is the head of the list when talking about a gout attack. Elevated uric acid levels in your blood, also know as hyperuricemia is the main risk in a gout. All people who suffer from this condition are predisposed to having a gout flare. As your levels of acid rise in your blood, so does the risk of having a gout attack. Furthermore, this gout flare is very unpredictable. No one can say for sure when you are likely to have a gout attack. However, there are some factors that are thought to trigger the gout flare. Certain medicines, alcohol, stress and some other medical problems that you might suffer from may trigger a gout. Even if such factors are thought to be the ones responsible for a gout attack, there are many times that neither you nor your doctor can say for sure what was the cause of your gout flare. To predict the time of the chances of you having a gout attack can be done. This is not quite certain, but it may give you an idea. all you have to do is visit your doctor and have your levels of uric acid measured. This is the way to predict if you are likely to suffer from a gout attack in the future or not.

THE CAUTION Rapid changes in uric acid levels can trigger a gout attack. This rapid change can be brought about by many factors in addition to possibly mega doses of Vitamin C and by drugs such as probenecid and sulfinpyrazone. People who are susceptible to gout must consider these rapid changes.
Gout: A Foe for your Toe Gout is a misunderstood malady. Despite the intense pain that gout can bring, it is a condition that is rarely makes the glossy pages of a magazine. If you are ever personally hit with the sudden onset of gout, classically (50% of the time) seen as a sudden and excruciating pain in the big toe, you will have a newly found interest in the following information.
VITAMIN C AS A GOUT PREVENTOR If 500 mg daily of Vitamin C can reduce uric acid levels, then Vitamin C ought to act as a preventative gout vitamin too. A Taiwan study of males in the late 1990's examined the weight, diet and lifestyles of gout and non-gout sufferers in Taiwan. It concluded that Vitamin C, folic acid (folate) and fibre were protective against gout.
However, restricting purines in your diet is not difficult, so it is still worth doing. The conventional wisdom may be correct. Uric acid level tests should tell if a low purine diet works for you.
The first sign of gout is usually an intense pain during the night. The attack is commonly brought on following a day or evening of excess in alcohol, food, some drugs, or surgery. If the attack progresses, fever and chills will follow. Recurring attacks are common (90%), mostly occurring in the first year. While chronic gout is quite rare, gout sufferers do have a higher risk of kidney dysfunction and kidney stones.
It also reached the well-known and accepted conclusion that hypertension (high blood pressure) and obesity are risk factors for gout. And one other very different conclusion from the conventional wisdom about purines -- purine intake, with the exception of alcohol, was NOT associated with a risk of gout.
- Organ meats, such as brain, kidney, liver, and sweetbreads. - Anchovies - Mackerel - Herring - Sardines - Gravies - Dried beans and peas
What is uric acid? Uric acid helps protect blood vessel linings and serves as an antioxidant. Uric acid is created when purines are broken down by the body. Purines are found in all the cells of the body, and in virtually all food. Some food sources contain a much higher concentration of purines than all the others. Foods with very high purine levels include:
Such a rapid change concerned the authors of one study in the 1970's who had recorded that mega doses of Vitamin C (4,000 mg and 8,000 mg daily) reduced uric acid levels significantly, and by more than in the 2005 study. However, as far as Vitamin C induced changes in uric acid levels is concerned, this triggering has not been reported in any study.
There are two main types of gout, primary and secondary. Most (90%) of gout sufferers fall into the 'primary' category. This is a pattern with a cause that is generally unknown (idiopathic), although there are some genetic patterns that can lead one to tend toward elevated uric acid. Secondary gout is identified when uric acid is elevated in response to some other disorder (such as kidney disease). Some medicines (such as aspirin and diuretics) can lead to the onset of gout attacks because they decrease the excretion of uric acid from the body.
Conventional treatment for the symptoms of gout is the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine. Isolated from the autumn crocus, colchicine has a strong effect to combat inflammation (though it has no effect on uric acid levels!). This provides most sufferers relief within the day, although the drug may be difficult for many to tolerate due to digestive side effects.

gout diet
Almost ninety percent of all gout patients, suffer from flares in the big toe. However, gout attacks may happen in other joints, like the knee, fingers, wrist. The gout signs are the same no matter the location of the attack.
- Limit your purine intake. Uric acid is formed when your body breaks down purines.
Find more:
Gout is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the fluids of your body. These uric acid crystals deposit in joints, tendons and kidneys, damaging the tissues and causing inflammation and pain. The pain is a result of countless needle-like crystals that form from the excess uric acid.
- Drink plenty of water. Water helps to flush uric acid out of your body. - Lose weight. If you are overweight, losing weight will decrease your uric acid levels. Do not fast, or engage in a rapid weight loss program, because this will actually cause a temporary raise in uric acid levels.
To prevent gout attacks, the following lifestyle should be considered: ' Avoid alcohol, a major influence in initiating attacks. ' Follow a low-purine diet. This includes organ meats, meat, shellfish, yeast, and sardines, mackerel, etc. ' Reduce excess food intake including processed carbohydrates, excess fat and excess protein.
However, gout sufferers are overwhelmingly (95%) male.

Workplace Travel: Must I go if I'm worried about my safety?
By: William Parker
Reader: My employer has again asked that I work in a foreign country. I am concerned that this posting is unsafe. Last time I worked abroad multiple bombings took place and several governments closed their embassies. I also had my personal belongings stolen while I was in what was supposed to be a secure area. Do I have to go work in this country? If I do is my employer required to provide travel insurance in case something goes wrong?
The first thing to look at is your employment contract. Most employment contracts contain both written terms, and unwritten terms that are implied into the contract by law. The written portion of an employment contract usually mentions the benefits and insurance coverage that an employer is required to provide and it may also mention work locations and travel.
Unless travel insurance is covered in the original contract, or has since been agreed to by the employer, an employer generally cannot be forced to provide travel insurance. Also, most travel insurance policies will not cover all of the risks you've outlined. However, the failure to mention travel or relocation in a contract may prevent an employer from requiring that an employee work in a foreign country. Whether an employer can make such a request, without it being specifically mentioned in the contract, depends primarily on the nature of the work and if foreign travel to that country was expected or foreseeable when the employee was hired or promoted into their current position.
If an employee has a legitimate fear for their safety they may be able to argue that a travel request from their employer is not consistent with their contract. The context of the employment and the country involved are important considerations. For example it could be implied into many contracts that travel to the United States is acceptable, whereas travel to parts of Afghanistan is not. It is always best to review your contract, check your facts, and consult with a Lawyer before making any demands of your employer.

On October 4 2016 I had the great honour of teaching a Newborn Photography Workshop in Atlanta immediately following my demonstration classes at The Baby Summit USA. Although I limited my teaching engagements somewhat in 2016 to focus on my own client work and special projects, I always find it such an incredibly rewarding and inspiring experience where I get to share my knowledge about this amazing and specialised craft I am so passionate about with like minded photographers.
I am very excited to announce that I will be joining forces again with Elise Gow Photography to teach joint workshops in the UK and US in May 2017. Workshop places will be released on 1 November 2016.
Here's a little sneak peek into the Atlanta workshop.
Special thanks to my lovely and generous workshop hosts, Shannon Jaecksch Burnaine and Carmen McCarthy, Lauren Elizabeth for capturing and sharing her behind the scenes images and my assistant Lea Curtis for making the big trip overseas with me.

Tim Cook, Ceo
Kyle Maxfield
University of Rhode Island
The creativity and innovation that Jobs brought with Apple will inspire the world for decades to come. "The world has lost a visionary, he made an unprecedented impact not only on the world of computing and consumer electronics with insanely great products that inspired a generation of people to dream big and be different, he has also reinvented management by building and rebuilding one of the greatest companies on earth" (Mootee, 2011). How will Apple sustain the success it held under the management of Steve Jobs? After a long fought battle with pancreatic cancer, Steve Jobs died at the age of 56. The influence he had on the world is undeniable. He was much more than the CEO of a highly profitable company. Steve Jobs was a visionary. So, how could Apple possibly replace him? In its mission statement, as a company, "Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings". Looking at Apple's long track record, they have certainly lived up to that mission statement. With Steve Jobs at the helm, Apple has mastered many products such as the Mac Book, iPhone, iPad, iPod, and iTunes throughout the last decade. What sets Apple apart from similar companies such as Microsoft is stated in the mission statement, "its innovative hardware, software, and Internet offerings". Unlike PC's, which make up for the rest of the computer brands, besides Apple's MacBook's and iMac's, are ran with Microsoft's Windows programming. The innovation of its distinct operating system has TIM COOK, CEO2
given Apple products a definite advantage. Not only in the technology department, but also financial. An easy way to illustrate Apple's growth as an entity in comparison to Microsoft is to look at their market values. For example, in 2003 suppose you purchase $40,000 worth of shares, $20,000 in Apple and $20,000 in Microsoft. If you were to sell your stock four years later, in 2007, your shares in Apple would sell for $500,000 while the shares in Microsoft would sell for just $30,000 (Shah 1). Although, your shares in Microsoft are still profitable, the $10,000 gain seems tiny compared to the $480,000 gain in Apple's shares. Since 2007, Apple has continued to grow its market value and its innovating products. However, in the concern of Steve Jobs health and recently, his death, the stock value has had a tough couple of weeks (Yahoo! Finance). "But here is what investors need to keep in mind: This decline is from an all-time high that was hit in late September, while many other stocks were setting new lows. It is still way too early to pass judgment on Jobs' successor, Tim Cook, who is just 6 weeks into his tenure as CEO, but honest analysts will concede the best he could hope to achieve is to not screw it up. Bottom line, nobody could fill Steve Jobs' shoes" (Yahoo! Finance). As Apple hopes to continue its dominance in the computing market, all eyes will be on its new CEO, Tim Cook. Fortunately for Tim Cook, Apple has a strong foundation to say the least. With the production quality and high demand he has a lot to work with. Steve Jobs created a company that would thrive after his death. Because of the long, hard fought battle with cancer, Steve Jobs was forced to step down as CEO a couple of times due to illness and it TIM COOK, CEO3 was Tim Cook who took over for Jobs during those times. However, when Jobs' battle with cancer took a turn for the worse, and his health was a major concern for the company, Tim Cook was appointed CEO of Apple and Jobs stepped down. Jobs continued to hold an influence on the company's major business ideas and follow-through leading up to his death. Many did not call Cook the true...

Fowey RNLI volunteers respond to three shouts during busy weekend
The Fowey RNLI volunteer crew members haved responded to a trio of call outs over the last three days, including two seperate tidal cut off incidents.
On Saturday 22 July at 12.40pm the all-weather lifeboat Corinne Whitely was launched with seven crewmembers on board to rescue two people on a blue hulled yacht with rudder failure. Arriving on scene between Looe and Polperro at 1pm, the yacht was underway using an outboard engine but as the sea conditions were poor it was decided to tow them to safety.
The next call out came the following day (23 July) during the joint helicopter and lifeboat training exercise which involved both Fowey lifeboats at Charlestown. The inshore lifeboat Olive Two was tasked to rescue two people who were stranded by the tide on the eastern cliffs of Lantic Bay. They were tourists who were only on the second day of their visit to Cornwall.
The inshore lifeboat crew were able to take the man on board but the woman had climbed too high and was stuck. As the exercise was almost finished at Charlestown, the decision was made to extricate the woman with the helicopter and transfer her onto the all-weather lifeboat. Both the casualties were then taken to Polruan and expressed their grateful thanks to all the volunteers who had saved them.
Monday 24 July then saw the first call out for trainee Helm Adam Russell under the tutelage of Christian Philp. At 5.40pm Fowey RNLI had been tasked to rescue two people cut off by the tide on the rocky outcrop on the Duporth side of Polmear Island. The sea state was calm with north westerfly force 1-2 winds, but there was still an hour and a half of tide running in.
After arriving on scene, Adam drove the inshore lifeboat in and nudged onto the rocks. The two people were helped into the lifeboat with the assistance of Sean Kelly and Christian. They were then dropped off at Charlestown.
RNLI safety message
Now that the summer holidays are here, the RNLI would like to remind everyone visiting the coast that safety advice is available at RNLI.org. You can also check out the weather and tide times at the local Harbour Office.
Key facts about the RNLI
The RNLI charity saves lives at sea. Its volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service around the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland coasts. The RNLI operates over 238 lifeboat stations in the UK and Ireland and, in a normal year, more than 240 lifeguard units on beaches around the UK and Channel Islands. The RNLI is independent of Coastguard and government and depends on voluntary donations and legacies to maintain its rescue service. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824, its lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved over 142,700 lives.

text: Full credit to go to Gordon Wilkie for his FB page on WW1 & WW2 Memories, a Russian photographer of considerable skill just posted a truly amazing collection of his work on German WW1 &2 Memorials. It cost me a couple of hours or more of work as I had to go over every photo and the descriptions. The range of styles and types of memorials is fascinating to me. I have a background in art history and it was most interesting to see how art in general affected the work shown. Political influences are equally of interest. I was particularly interested in the combination of classical Roman and Greek sculptural influence in war memorials in the inter-war years. Certainly one of the best exhibits of war memorials I have seen. I am saving this to a folder, Gordon, to continue my studies of it. Gaines The Woe of the Vanquished

Hi... Looking at possibly buying PayPlans. 2 quick questions I couldn't see from the demo if they were possible or not:
1) Can I have a plan that runs between set dates... I have a membership year for example.. can people become a 2019 member at any time in 2019 - but regardless of when they join, it'll expire on Dec 31st.
2) On the checkout can you get rid of the "Personal or Business Use" question and the Country selection? All my customers are in one tax free location - so the use and the country will both be redundant fields I wouldn't want to bother them with.

LEO XU PROJECTS is pleased to announce our third-year participation in Frieze New York at Randall's Island, running from May 14th through 17th, 2015. At booth B36, we will be exhibiting a solo project by Shanghai-based young media artist aaajiao.
Actively online as a media artist, blogger, activist and programmer, aaajiao is the virtual persona of Shanghai-based artist Xu Wenkai, whose offline practices include a celebrated entrepreneur of co-working projects Xindanwei—that tested a new and nomad way of living and working in cosmopolitan Shanghai—and a teacher of New Media art at China's various academies. Born in 1984 in one of China's oldest cities Xi'an, aaajiao's art and works are marked by a strong dystopian awareness—the year of his birth shared with Orwell's classic allegory novel—and literati spirits and sophistication. Many of aaajiao's works speak to new thinking, controversies and phenomenon around Internet, with specific projects focusing on the processing of Data, the blogsphere and China's Great Fire Wall. Aaajiao's recent projects extend his practice to various disciplines (architecture, electronic music, performance, product design, medicine, among many others) to take the pulse of a young generation consuming cyber technology and living in social media.
On view in the booth is a presentation of aaajiao's latest videos, photographs, and installations inspired by Hideki Takayasu's 1986 book "Furakutaru" (Fractals in Physical Science [Nonlinear science: theory & application]). Over the past years, aaajiao has been researching for a series of comparative studies between the theory of fractals and Chinese philosophy (and medical science). His algorithmic methodology enables him to scan human body and track a new set of meridian systems. Combining these algorithms with art of tattoo, he transplants this internal micro-universe into the gallery space. This attempt to represent the energy sources, by outlining these ever-changing and active channels, also portrays unanticipated aspects of the personality of individuals.
Aaajiao's work has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the world, for instance, "Thingworld, International Triennial of New Media Art", The National Art Museum of China, Beijing (2014); "Pandamounium", Media Art from Shanghai, Momentum, Berlin (2014); The West Bund Architecture and Contemporary Art Biennale, Shanghai (2013); "One World Exposition — Chinese Art in the Age of the New Media", Videotage, Hong Kong (2011); Transmediale, Berlin (2010), etc. He received the Jury Prize from Art Sanya Awards 2014 and was nominated for the first edition of OCAT—Pierre Huber Art Prize in 2014.

Hi everyone, it's Alexis from the Art Room! I don't know about you, but spring happens to be one of my favorite seasons for one very important reason: FLOWERS! Today I am going to walk you through how to create hoop floral wreaths using our Chapter 2 Peony die. Wreaths are a creative way to dress up any occasion, from bridal showers to springtime garden parties, or even a newborn's nursery! With a few simple supplies, you'll have a spring garden in no time.

- Sizzix® Thinlits™ Die Set - Peony (#663593)
- Sizzix™ Accessory - Glue Gun (#663550)
- Sizzix™ Accessory - Glue Gun Accessories (#663005)
- Sizzix™ Accessory - Glue Gun Sticks, 8", Clear, 20 PK (#663065)
- Sizzix™ Accessory - Paper Sculpting Kit (#662225)

- Jute Rope
- Needle Art Wood Hoops (10 inches, 8 inches, and 6 inches)
How to make:
1. Choosing how many layers to cut for each flower all depends on how full you want the final flower to appear. To create a life-like appearance, die-cut out of cardstock four to six of the large flower petals, four to six of the inner flower petals, four of the large flower centers and two of the small flower centers. Additionally, die-cut your desired quantity of leaves to add to the flowers and the hoop.
2. To create life-like texture use the stylus tools and gray molding mat from the Paper Sculpting Tool Kit. Create pressure on the paper with the 8 mm or 10 mm stylus heads and begin to sculpt the flower die-cuts until the desired texture is achieved.
Move the stylus heads in circular motions from the outer edge to the center allowing the paper to curl into a natural shape.
3. Once all of the flower die-cuts are sculpted, layer and adhere the pieces together with hot glue. Be sure to alternate the petals as you add each individual layer.
4. Hot glue the large flower centers together, as well as, the small flower centers. Adhere the small flower center inside of the large flower center and hot glue the centers into the middle of the peony.
5. Fold along the leaf score lines in order to give them a dimensional effect.
6. Adhere the flowers and leaves as desired onto a wooden hoop with hot glue.
7. For a final touch attach a jute rope to allow for easy hanging on a wall, or even a tree!
Spring and summer are the perfect seasons to enjoy the outdoors, and with paper flowers, your event is sure to bloom no matter what the weather is outside. I hope you enjoy making your hoops as much as I did!

Erdoğan: We have an exemplary cooperation with Hungary
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary held a joint press conference in Budapest.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Orbán of Hungary, Erdoğan said: "We have an exemplary cooperation with Hungary in terms of the preservation of our shared historical and cultural heritage."
"We are determined to realize several projects with Hungary in defense industry"
Stating that they discussed during the talks the possible steps to further the strategic cooperation between Turkey and Hungary, President Erdoğan noted: "We have a common will with Mr. Prime Minister of increasing our trade volume, which was $2.6 billion as of the end of 2018, to some 6 billion dollars." Voicing Turkey's resolution to provide Hungarian entrepreneurs with every means, President Erdoğan underlined that they are determined to realize several projects with Hungary in the area of defense industry, and added: "We have an exemplary cooperation with Hungary in terms of the preservation of our shared historical and cultural heritage."
Underscoring that Hungary's support for Turkey's accession process to the European Union is very valuable to Turkey, President Erdoğan said: "I would especially like to express that I always appreciate Mr. Prime Minister's support on this issue. Undoubtedly, the EU's recent stance towards our country is far from being constructive. The bilateral issues of some member countries should not stall Turkey-EU relations. In fact, the bloc is undermining its own interests with this attitude."
"It is thanks to 'Operation Peace Spring' that the fight against terror continue with determination"
Stating that he addressed during the talks his thanks to Prime Minister Orbán of Hungary with regard to his support for 'Operation Peace Spring', President Erdoğan stressed that Turkey carries out its works to establish a safe zone which will facilitate the return of the 4 million refugees, who are currently in Turkey, to their own lands and homes.
"It is thanks to 'Operation Peace Spring' that the fight against terror continue with determination," President Erdoğan said, adding that although terrorists cannot entirely be removed from the designated areas despite the memorandums of understanding reached with the U.S. and Russia, the fights against DAESH and PKK/PYD/YPG continue in a determined manner. President Erdoğan noted that during the operations conducted, DAESH ringleader al Bagdadi's wife and 13 people from his inner circle were captured.

A woman has been ordered to pay back £19,000 in fraudulent insurance claims after a court found she misled a car insurer over her injuries.
The defendant, who has not been named, tried to claim £100,000 from Ageas Insurance for severe back pain, spinal surgery and loss earnings following an accident in 2009.
But, after the insurance firm's claims team investigated, it was found the claimant, who was in a low-speed accident with her husband and two children, had a long history of back pain, had been involved in incidents of a similar nature before and already claimed disability benefit.
Ageas also discovered the claimant had displayed inconsistent behaviour, including taking her children on rollercoasters, on which people with back pain are advised not to ride.
In a recent judgement at Bournemouth and Poole County Court, the claimant was ordered to pay more than £19,000 in sums already received to Ageas as it became clear the claimant's injuries were not a result of the accident in 2009.
The insurance company, which has invested in in-house fraud detection over the past two years, said this is evidence that tackling fraud pays off.

Sophisticated fraud
Mark Cliff, managing director of Ageas, said: "This particular case is a perfect example where our claim teams indentified and followed up on some key indicators of a fraudulent claim.
"We know that fraudsters are getting more sophisticated, accounting for an extra £50 on every premium, so we've got to keep up."
It is understood the claimant intends to appeal the judgement.
The government will bring new laws aimed at tackling the soaring numbers of whiplash claims into effect in April 2013.

We need a better understanding of the biomarkers that allow the life-saving early detection of cancer.
A few weeks ago, I read an article about cancer survival rate [1] (in Polish) and the development/wealth of a country. Interestingly, for some cancers, like prostate, there is up to 50% difference in survival rate in wealthy countries (e.g. USA, Australia, Poland) compared to "medium" developed countries (e.g. Turkey, China). Notably, however, for the most deadly cancers (less than 20% survival rate), there was not much difference across the world. I was especially surprised to see that for prostate cancer, the 5-year survival rate was almost 100%, compared to a dramatically lower 50% in wealthy vs medium-wealthy countries.
This reminded me of a research proposal I wrote back in 2013. It was about mapping the differences in prostate cancer and different stages of its development, and I became familiar with the good and bad sides of the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test.
The PSA test is a non-invasive blood test used to detect a biomarker called prostate specific antigen, which tends to be elevated in prostate cancer. [2]
According to the NIH, until 2008 this test was commonly recommended to men over 50, allowing widespread early detection of prostate cancer. Now, we know that elevated PSA levels can actually occur during many different non-life-threatening conditions, which results in false-positive diagnoses (indicating a disease that is not there). Simultaneously, the test missed some cases of prostate cancer due to the natural variability and complexity of prostate cancer. [2] In fact, some researchers argued that only 1 death per 1000 men between ages 55–69 could be prevented with the PSA test, while over 100 men out of 1000 receive a false positive result, leading to unnecessary biopsy, surgery and over-treatment. [2]
In 2016, Ben Stiller wrote a Medium post recounting his personal encounter with prostate cancer and the PSA test. Despite the controversy surrounding the test, it potentially saved his life. This speaks to the great advantage and life saving potential of early detection of cancers.
There is a clear survival advantage of being in a country that supports the means for early detection, diagnosis and treatment. [3] That's why huge research efforts go into discovering new biomarkers for cancer and other diseases. While thousands are being found in early stage research, only a few dozen at most are researched in clinics, due to the challenges associated with the reliability of biomarker-based diagnosis like the PSA test.
The main difficulty in dealing with cancer is that it is not one disease, but a series of many conditions that differ by their molecular profile.
In fact, two tumours in one patient can be totally different from each other. This causes great variation in the development, malignancy, metastatic potential and response to treatment of cancers. It's highly challenging to find biomarkers that unambiguously indicate the type and stage of cancers.
Of course, it seems like a single biomarker is not enough to do the job of early detection. Recently, the "new" biomarkers tests are in fact combination of several proteins or molecules, whose collective information provides a highly accurate result. By observing multiple elements at the same time, we increase our chances of unambiguously identifying diseases, as well as tailoring specifically a treatment to a person (an approach called personalised medicine).
By observing multiple elements at the same time, we increase our chances of unambiguously identifying diseases, as well as tailoring specifically a treatment to a person.
Since I started to think seriously about my own research agenda a few years ago, I dreamed of making a device that would allow in-home rapid detection of biomarkers. We're still a long way from there, but seeing this article reminds me it's actually a very valid goal for researchers and provide less developed countries with the means to face cancer.

On the Go
For many years, I've done the bulk of my design and development work on a big 27" iMac. I always loved that huge screen and the simplicity of the iMac's design (only 1 cable, no tower, no fuss).
During this time, I had a laptop as well, so I went to great pains to sync all of my stuff across the two devices with a combination of Dropbox, and iCloud, and Gmail. This worked OK, but I've trimmed down my setup even further - and I don't think I'll ever go back!
I sold my big iMac on eBay for a good price, and purchased components of my new setup for only a fraction of that selling price. Here's the overview:
- 13" Macbook Air
- 20" Flat-Panel Cinema Display
- A Cooler Master Clutch vertical Macbook stand
- Apple's wireless Magic Trackpad and wireless keyboard
The Air, in my opinion, is the perfect device for every situation. It's incredibly portable - light and thin. The 13" size isn't too small if I don't have an external screen around, and I can close it up at work and at home where I do have a screen. It doesn't have impressive specs - just a 1.7 GHz processor and 4 GB of memory - but it performs blazingly fast for everything I do (web development and programming, using the Adobe Creative Suite, and foolishly keeping dozens of apps open at once).
The best part of my single device setup is that I don't have to bother with syncing issues anymore. If I'm in the middle of a project at the end of a day, I can just snap the lid shut and pick back up right where I left off at my next stop!
I added details and links to the equipment on Flickr if you're interested.

Zambia has just recorded its 'first case' of albino killing. Suspected ritualists butchered a 37 year old albino woman in the eastern district of Lundazi. They cut off her right hand and extracted the teeth from her mouth. In Zambia, ritual murder is on the rise.
Mutilated bodies of persons suspected to have been killed by ritualists were found in many parts of the country. Some body parts - arms, tongues, genitals or skin - were missing. The bodies of a 19 year old boy and a 70 year old woman with missing organs were discovered in Lusaka and in the Western province. Some suspected victims of ritual murder in the Central province had their hands and legs chopped off. Ritual killing is a common practice across countries in sub Saharan Africa including Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Tanzania and Malawi. Why are Zambians – and many people across Africa still murdering people for rituals?
The belief in Zambia is that these body parts can be used to perform sacrifice which can fortify people spiritually or bring good luck and success. People harvest these body parts which are sold or sent to local medicine men who use them to perform rituals. The sale of body parts for ritual sacrifice accounts for the thriving market in Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, etc
Unfortunately many Zambians have not bothered to ask : Can ritual sacrifice really make one rich? Under what conditions will human - albino and non-albino body parts-lips, tongues, genitals and other organs - transform into good fortune – in business and politics? It is not enough to believe that something is so and so. It is necessary to seek evidence for such claims particularly in a situation where such claims can lead people to commit atrocious acts. This is what people across Zambia and Africa need to do. Zambians should begin to question the whole idea of getting rich or winning elections through ritual sacrifice . For instance if these sacrifices were potent as often claimed, why are the local medicine men and women not rich? Why are they not the ones who win during elections? Why are they not the owners of big companies and businesses in Zambia?
Why are they not the most successful in the society? Most of these medicine men are literally poor and wretched. They live in slums or in rural areas or under conditions no one can associate with wealth or success? So the question is : How can they make a person rich when they are poor? How can they make one excel in exams when they – at least most of them- never went to schools? If ritual sacrifice can really protect or fortify people spiritually? Why do the local 'witch doctors' and diviners and spiritualists get sick, suffer accidents and die?
Zambians should begin to challenge claims associated with ritual killing and human sacrifice because if these underpinning misconceptions are not debunked, these vicious practices will not disappear. They will not stop. Definitely, it is not all Zambians that believe that money or success can be achieved through ritual sacrifice. There are skeptics and critical thinking people in Zambia. The issue is this: What are they doing? Why are they not speaking out? Why are their views and perspectives not captured in the discourse on ritual killing? What are they saying about the claim that 'albino eyes, genitals and limbs can make somebody rich? Why are they not providing Zambia with skeptical fortification for people with albinism as against the supposed spiritual fortification which Zambia derive from ritual sacrifice of human body parts? Skeptics in Zambia may not want to speak out because they fear being attacked or persecuted. They fear being branded 'atheists' and stigmatized.
But right now putting one's skepticism at the public disposal is a form of social service. Zambia needs skeptics and skepticism to stop the rising wave of ritual murder. So I enjoin all critical thinking people in the country to muster courage and help bring the flame of rational illumination to this cave of superstition-based abuses.
Clearly the social disease of ritual killing is spreading across the country like wild fire and we need to put in place mechanisms to tackle it. Skeptics in Zambia need to stand up and be counted. They need to make their voices heard.
Arise, all Zambian Skeptics.

Hi, friends! I hope you are all having an easy transition after the New Year. Things never quite slowed down around here lately, but I'm so looking forward to this year and all of the opportunities it's going to bring! I'm starting off the year with a bang and bringing you a resort look from my favorite source for designer pieces…you guessed it – Nordstrom.
This. Blazer. One look and I knew I had to have it. This kind of investment piece is the best kind to look for because of its versatility. You can create sooo many different looks with this one. I am currently in Hawaii and this blazer has been a lifesaver for the cool nights. I like to drape blazers over my shoulder for a uber chic look when the weather begins to cool. And along with the totally style-able versatility comes the quality to match. The classic silhouette remains in style while the chic, preppier details like the contrasted collar and gold buttons really make it stand out from the crowd. This is a perfect piece to take you from the office to cocktail hour.
I decided to go for an all-black look to pick up on the contrast trim as well as black sandals with gold heels to pick up on the gilded buttons. Plus we all know black is my favorite color 😉 That unique collar really pops, and so do the buttons, which makes the blazer feel special. You could definitely dress it up with your favorite little black dress, some crisp dress pants or a silky cami for a date night-approved look.
Special thanks to Nordstrom for partnering on this post.
