When Amazon founder Jeff Bezos recently went into space, there was a lot of talk about the richest man on earth in his absence. But this time, the name of the top rich man has changed as the world is not 11 minutes of lies. Last Friday, Shares of Amazon fell 7.6 percent in one day. That reduced Bezos’ wealth to 1.3 trillion dollars. According to Forbes, Bernard Arnault, owner of the French luxury company Moyet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (MHLV), took the opportunity to become the richest man in the world.
Since the end of May this year, there has been a fierce battle between the two millionaires to become the world’s wealthiest people. This fight lasted till the beginning of June. But for 50 days, Bezos was the richest man in the world.
However, Bernard Arnault did not take advantage of the stock market on Friday. The total share of his luxury brand fell 1.4 percent. Bernard Arnault also lost 2.9 billion, but his net worth was 19.29 billion, 500 million more than Bezos by the end of the week. That’s how Bernard Arnault left Bezos behind. Since the end of May this year, there has been a fierce battle between the two millionaires to become the world’s wealthiest people. This fight lasted till the beginning of June. But for 50 days, Bezos was the richest man in the world. Even the massive cost of his spaceflight on July 20 did not move him from the position of the top rich man.
Bernard Arnault’s wealth has increased by 10 trillion dollars since the Corona outbreak last year. The MHLV sales chart was fixed at the top last summer. Naturally, Bernard Arnault, who owns 48 percent of the company’s shares, has a market capitalization of over Rs 40,000 crore. MHLV’s companies are Louis Vuitton, Moyet & Chandon, Christian Dior, and Tiffany & Co.
Amazon did well in the second quarter, despite falling stock prices. At that time, their sales were 11 thousand 300 million dollars. 27% is more than the same period last year. However, in the first quarter of this year, the growth of Amazon was 44 percent. Amazon says its revenue in the third quarter will be between 10,600 and 11,200 billion dollars. However, market analysts had expected 11.9 billion.

. Coloring. December 18th , 2018.
Create your own animal contest. Have the children color various animals in whatever way they like. If a child wants to color a monkey purple allow them to do so. Then cut up various parts of the colored images. Cut the body parts off of the animals and place them in a pile on a table. Then have the kids assemble animals out of the parts. The final product will be a remarkable and weird compilation. This exercise usually really gets the kids laughing as they create funny and weird animals.
Just like anybody else, I understand the need to save money and budget. To cut costs, some of my clients went so far as to cut their own hair! It is true that maintaining your hair can be quite expensive, depending on what you get done. This is why more and more people are deciding to color their own hair at home. If you’re going for a dramatic change in your hair color, I would suggest going to a salon instead of doing it yourself. Before you apply any permanent dye to your head, read these tips on coloring your hair.
Don’t wash your hair! I know some of these dyes available to the public tell you to apply on clean hair only. That’s one thing that makes me angry. You can actually burn your scalp if you wash and dry your hair right before you apply permanent color. Hair dye processes fast with heat. Washing and drying your hair gets the blood flowing in your scalp, producing heat. This is how you can burn your scalp. If your scalp is itching shortly after applying the color, then your scalp is either burning or you could be allergic to the chemicals.
Hee Hawww! Yahoo! Giddy Up! What kid hasn’t imagined themselves King (or Queen) of the rodeo? Can’t you picture it? A western landscape…hot and dusty…sunny and smokey. And who arises from this scene? None other than the fastest-firing-gunslinger in all the west! This kid epitomizes what a cowboy should be. Decked out like the cowboys of cowboys in a: vest and tie, cowboy boots, rodeo jeans covered by chaps, gun and holster, with the coolest cowboy hat to complete the look. Now that’s a cowboy! And that’s just what your kids are imagining that they are REAL cowboys and cowgirls!
There is no doubt that visual learning plays a key role when it comes to children’s learning and development. In fact, visual teachings are commonly regarded as one of the most important factors that add a lot to a child’s early growth and development. For the records, children are easily influenced by what they see, touch, feel and participate more than just what they hear. Visuals help them retain and remember lessons taught. It also takes care of verbal miscommunication and also creates and retains their interest in a particular lesson. It is often said that humans, especially kids tend to remember 10% of what they hear, 50% of what they see, and 80% of what they see and do. This underlines the importance of visual aids in learning and development of kids.
Given that sometimes people work on enormous, long-lasting projects, it is normal to feel hopeless and like it’s never-ending. Don’t lose your hope, it will end eventually, you just need to be patient. How do you achieve that patience in critical times? When you color, you complete one simple task of coloring a picture from its top to the bottom, making sure every single detail is filled the best you could. This simple act of finishing one single coloring page within your coloring book or coloring app can bring you a great sense of accomplishment. That sense surely can boost your confidence, and transfer to your mood regarding the task you have in your company. It must bring a successful achievement there as well.
Animal coloring books. Find fun animal coloring books that provide an array of different animals for the students to color. Don’t just settle for the same old animals; look for coloring books with exotic animals. This not only provides some variety, but it also provides a great learning opportunity. The children will learn a great deal about new animals and their environments. Dinosaurs are also a very popular animal among young children. Find out which animals the kids like and provide them with coloring books specific to their interests.

Can tendons fully heal?
“Once a tendon is injured, it almost never fully recovers,” says Nelly Andarawis-Puri, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
“You’re likely more prone to injury forever.
Tendons are very soft tissues that regularly transmit very large forces to allow us to achieve basic motion..
What helps tendons and ligaments heal faster?
What helps injured ligaments heal faster? Injured ligaments heal faster when treated in a way to promote good blood flow. This includes short-term use of icing, heat, proper movement, increased hydration, and several sports medicine technologies like NormaTec Recovery and the Graston technique.
Can tendons heal naturally?
Although many minor tendon and ligament injuries heal on their own, an injury that causes severe pain or pain that does not lessen in time will require treatment. A doctor can quickly diagnose the problem and recommend an appropriate course of treatment.
What happens if a torn tendon is not repaired?
If left untreated, eventually it can result in other foot and leg problems, such as inflammation and pain in the ligaments in the soles of your foot (plantar faciitis), tendinitis in other parts of your foot, shin splints, pain in your ankles, knees and hips and, in severe cases, arthritis in your foot.
How do you strengthen weak tendons?
It’s key for tendon and ligament strength.Make a long-term commitment. It takes a little longer to strengthen tendons and ligaments than it does muscles because they get less blood flow. … Lift heavier weights. … Adjust your diet. … Take a supplement. … Get enough sleep.
What foods trigger tendonitis?
To help decrease joint and muscle pain and inflammation, try eliminating these foods from your diet or consume them in moderation:Sugar. Unfortunately, sugar is on top of the list of foods that may increase muscle and joint inflammation. … Omega-6 fatty acids. … Gluten. … Excessive alcohol. … Saturated fats.
How can I heal tendons faster?
As an immediate treatment for overuse tendinopathy, doctors and physical therapists often recommend the RICE program: rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the injured tendon. They may also suggest a short course of aspirin, ibuprofen, or other anti-inflammatory drugs to help inflammation and pain.
What foods help heal tendons?
6 Best Foods to Eat While Recovering From Sports InjuriesFoods that Contain Plenty of Protein. Protein is the nutrient that reinforces your body’s muscle tissue. … 2. Fruits and Vegetables With Vitamin C. … Omega-3 Fatty Acids. … Zinc-Rich Foods. … Vitamin D/Calcium. … Foods Rich in Fiber.
How long does tendon damage take to heal?
Healing can take up to 12 weeks. The injured tendon may need to be supported with a splint or cast to take tension off of the repaired tendon.
Why do tendons take so long to heal?
Unlike muscle tissue, tendons don’t get a significant supply of blood. Blood delivers fluid and nutrients that are essential for healing. The less blood delivered, the longer it takes for tissue to heal.
Do tendons hurt when healing?
Tendon injuries can be very painful and difficult to heal—even with rest, medications and physical therapy. Standard treatment can include medication, physical therapy and sometimes even surgery.
What supplements help repair tendons?
Oral supplementation of hydrolyzed type 1 collagen, arginine L-alpha-chetoglutarate, MSM, and bromelain has a potential benefic role in tendon healing, lowering the pain due to tendinopathy.

Eels is an American alternative/acoustic indie rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as "Mr. E" or simply E. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Eels were officially founded in 1995 when Jonathan 'Butch' Norton and E met Tommy Walter. The name "Eels" was chosen so that the band's records would be close to E's solo records in an alphabetical ordering. In 1996 the band released their debut album Beautiful Freak. Later albums include Hombre Lobo (2009), End Times (2010), Tomorrow Morning (2010). Bobby, Jr. Everett's dog, Bobby Jr., has been on the rise lately, too. A mix between a German Shepherd and a Basset Hound, Bobby Jr. was a homeless dog, roaming the streets of Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California until the Los Angeles Animal Control caught him, and he was taken to a dog pound, where Everett eventually "adopted" him. Recently, Bobby Jr. lent his vocals to the Eels song "Last Time We Spoke" on the album Blinking Lights and Other Revelations] (2005). Bobby Jr. can also be seen on assorted Eels merchandise, the official Eels website, and he even has his own MySpace!

The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky today announced the launch of The Balvenie Stories: a collection of single malt whiskies meant to represent tales of character, endeavor and craft from The Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland.
The Balvenie Stories collection will be comprised of the following three expressions:
The Sweet Toast of American Oak – Aged 12 Years – 43% ABV. “This is the story of the spectacular things that can happen when ancient technique meets fresh ideas,” the company says, as newly appointed Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie experimented with twice-charred white American oak from Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky to produce an “even fruitier, sweeter tasting Balvenie.”
The Week of Peat – Aged 14 Years – 48.3% ABV. An evolution of The Balvenie Peat Week Aged 14 Years, which launched globally in 2017. This expression tells the tale of Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE and former distillery manager Ian Millar, the company says, using a week’s gap in the distillery’s production schedule to experiment with the use of peat in the barley drying process, having sampled various ages since 2002. The result is a Balvenie expression with honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness.
A Day of Dark Barley – Aged 26 Years – 47.8% ABV. This is the story of Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE and The Balvenie’s malt men experimenting with a heavily roasted dark barley in 1992, the company says. The resulting liquid was originally released in 2006 as the 14-Year-Old Balvenie Roasted Malt; however, casks were retained for extra maturation, eventually becoming a classic Balvenie, but with extra depth and oak notes gleaned from the darker malt, the company says.
The notion of storytelling informs the design of The Balvenie Stories packaging, with each tale represented visually on the whisky’s canister and label in illustrations from British artist and printmaker Andy Lovell. Lovell’s work draws its inspiration direct from the distillery, where he spent time listening to the stories first-hand, before using his gestural technique to build up images that capture the essence of each tale.
Drinkers will have the unique opportunity to hear these stories in full, as told by the protagonists involved, via audio conversations recorded between them and The Balvenie Global Ambassador Gemma Paterson. These special conversations were recorded at locations significant to the narrative of each tale, including at The Balvenie distillery and as far afield as Kelvin Cooperage, Kentucky, where Kelsey McKechnie sourced virgin oak barrels for The Sweet Toast of American Oak.
This audio content, as well as guided audio whisky tastings of each expression with David Stewart and Kelsey McKechnie, will be available to the drinker via an NFC-enabled tag on the bottle that drinkers connect to using their smartphones. This was designed in partnership with connected product solutions company Thinfilm.
The Balvenie Stories collection will be available in select whisky retailers beginning May 2019: The Sweet Toast of American Oak has an SRP of $59.99 per 750-ml. bottle, The Week of Peat is $99 and A Day of Dark Barley is $799.


So anyhoo, this week we're going to show mew how to make a fairy garden and we've been meaning to do this post fur years, long before we even thought of Gardening with Cats.
We know a lot of peeps today live in flats/apartments and have no gardens at all, so this is a purrfect way of bringing a garden to those that don't have one but have always wanted one. And fur those that do have gardens, balconies or terraces this will look so cute outdoors, though we wouldn't leave it out year round.
Now the size of pot mew use is entirely dependent on mew, as mew can go as big as mew want, or just have one small pot or even a series of different sized pots that are linked together by bridges, tree trunks [branches or twigs] etc.. mew can have as much fun and be as crazy as mew like when making these.
A selection of plants
Crystals and a few pieces of slate or stone/gravel
Organic compost + optional gloves when handling
and cute small stuff - we bought ours from Amazon - just type fairy garden in the search bar to get lots of options.
Health & Safety Always Comes Furst at BB HQ
And the same goes fur kittens and younger cats who may be enthralled with your creation and decide to nom on it. Remember that this is not a cat toy and the small bits and pieces are a hazard.
Our fairy garden is placed out of reach of all the aforementioned, just to be on the safe side.
pleez ta tell
de PA if her wantz nother waterin eye dea; get a few gallon containerz like
de kind waterz, jooze, milk etc comez in....N her can fill em with de H2O
de day bee for N let it getz ta room temp for de next waterin cycle
Dudes and Miss Dai$y, that is one epically epic top tip, thanks so much fur sharing *Paw Bump* mew guys rock!
We'll be back on Friday with The Pet Parade and a speshal announcement so we do hope mew can join us again, and there'll a new puzzle on the 'Puzzle Page' tomorrow to keep mew entertained in the meantime...

The Legacy 650 is a loyal private flier’s favorite that has been in the skies around the world since 2011. As a premier model from Embraer, the Legacy 650 offers top-level performance as well as in-flight comfort, regardless of how far you are traveling. The Legacy 650 also features a wide variety of useful amenities, all of which will cater well to the needs of your family or your business colleagues.
First off, the Legacy 650 should be a go-to private aviation options for you if you have a lot of friends or colleagues to bring on a trip. That’s because this model’s 1,792 cu. ft. interior can seat between 12 and 16 passengers comfortably across its several double-club seats and its 3-seat couch. Each seat has plenty of headspace, too, even when you’re standing up because of this cabin’s 6.1 ft. total height.
Meanwhile, the remainder of the Legacy 650’s cabin is filled with an assortment of exciting amenities. This includes an extended galley, where you can store plenty of refreshments for a long flight. You’ll also find that the Legacy 650’s cabin has high-speed internet, which business travelers in particular can utilize while in their mobile office setup. Even the Legacy 650’s lavatory is noteworthy due to its size, its style, and its overall ease of access.
16 PASSENGERS MAX
CABIN HEIGHT: 4.10 ft
CABIN WIDTH: 5.0 ft
The Legacy 650 actually performs far better than the average heavy jets in its class. This is a result of this model’s two Rolls-Royce AE 3007A2 engines, which work together to produce top speeds of just under 600 mph. Those engines also play a crucial role in maintaining the Legacy 650’s excellent range, which tops out at around 3,900 nautical miles in most conditions.

MAX CRUISE SPEED: 599 mph
MAX OPERATING ALTITUDE: 30,000 ft (9,144 m)

This book examines the Japanese presence in Australia from the late colonial period until World War Two. The Japanese who migrated to Australia were prostitutes, pimps and pearl divers but they were also families, farmers, fishermen, entrepreneurs and itinerants. The few who were granted citizenship were later stripped on the status and untold numbers made applications which were refused. With the outbreak of WWII, many Japanese were interned and most were denied permission to remain in Australia when the war ended.


"We expect fashion e-commerce industry to be around USD 10-15 million by fiscal 2020... We are targeting 10-15 per cent share in this space in 5 years. Online fashion is 'a billion dollar' opportunity for us," said abof.com's president and CEO Prashant Gupta.
"Unlike our competitors, we will not offer many brands. At present, we have about 55 brands and in the next six months, it go up to 100-125 brands. We will only sell brands that are meaningful for our customers," he added.
The new portal today launched 3D trial rooms for its customers to help them "virtually" try clothes before buying them.
The Aditya Birla Group also owns trendin.com through Madura Fashion and Pantaloons. It competes with the likes of Jabong and Myntra (owned by Flipkart).
Speaking about competition, Gupta said the company will not "get into the discounting game".
"We have curated our portfolio to focus on consumer experience. While our competitors are offering deep discounts, that is one area which we do not want to get into. We will focus on offering the good quality and high fashion products," he informed.
According to industry body IAMAI, India's e-tail market is expected to grow 10 times from its current level to USD 50 billion by 2020, primarily driven by better Internet penetration and higher incomes.


It’s wildly common on Reddit: A thread complaining about the popularity of D&D, or a thread complaining about 5e being hacked into things it doesn’t work well for (I am guilty of that second one). Half the commenters will agree that yes, there are so many other games out there, and people should broaden their horizons! The other half will say that if people are having fun with D&D, why must you rain on their parade! And the fights continue, eventually, like they do in all discourse, repeating themselves. But you out there, venty thread creators and venty thread agree-ers, I see you. I know the real reason you’re creating these threads. You, personally, don’t want to play D&D, and either you can’t find a group to play something else with, or, more likely, your home table has you outvoted. Or, if you’re in a slightly better position, maybe you see these threads online and simply can’t imagine going back to playing only D&D (and you like fighting on the internet).
No matter the reason, I know the pain of playing a game you’re not really interested in because you still want to hang out with your friends and roll dice. There are ways to diversify your gaming experiences and be a happier gamer in general. Unsurprisingly, it doesn’t involve complaining on the internet. It also doesn’t involve slagging on D&D.
“Your Favorite Game Sucks” and Other Bad Arguments
This is the mistake I see most people make, either online or in their home groups. Clearly, the problems a person has with D&D must mean that D&D is bad, or at least that other games are better. These criticisms must be compelling! Both of these conclusions are wrong. First, as we know from psychology, direct criticism of an opinion that a person holds tends to make them defend and believe it more, not less, strongly. This is even more true for opinions that a person considers central to their sense of self. Because of this, D&D’s branding is rather ingenious; most gamers see “D&D player” as an identity equally or more strongly than “role-player”. By criticizing D&D, no matter how well-considered those criticisms are, you are perceived to be criticizing the people who play the game. If you’ve been on Twitter recently, you may have seen that even the most helpful suggestions of how to make D&D more inclusive are met with, well, death threats. Such is the power of the parasocial brand relationship.
Beyond the psychology of criticizing someone’s favorite hobby, you’re going to find there isn’t much solid discursive ground to stand on when it comes to criticizing D&D in a vacuum. Is D&D the best RPG? Nowhere near. But its core gameplay does what people want it to do well enough that even valid criticisms and comparisons are going to be really hard to support when directed at an audience that hasn’t played the games that enabled you to make the comparison. Most importantly, these criticisms are borne out of preference, not objective truth. I have played my fair share of D&D, and it’s my play experiences that put D&D far down my personal list of games to suggest when the next campaign rolls around. If my players have the same preference, though (some of them do, some of them don’t), they came to that on their own.
“Ah ha,” you say. “You’re describing a Catch 22. People need to arrive at their preferences through experience, but without experience they won’t listen to me about other games!” This is the core of the problem, yes. But there are solutions.
Towards More Eclectic Gaming
There’s one criticism of D&D that you can make, because it attacks a myth: D&D is not easy to learn, relatively speaking. In terms of rules complexity it is somewhere in the middle, leaning more complex, and in terms of ease of use it lags behind large swathes of the hobby. It’s clearly not hard enough to keep people from learning how to play, but there’s a huge number of games, even with the same level of complexity as D&D, that are much easier to learn. Now, for the reasons above, just disagreeing every time someone repeats this myth won’t help. You will need to get them to play a different game, at least once.
If you’re the group’s GM, this is easy: run a one-shot. Don’t frame it as ‘this is better’, don’t you dare frame it as ‘I want to switch to this game’. Simply say: “I wanted a break so for this week I prepped something different. Here are some pre-gens, I based them on the kind of character you like to play in our main campaign.” Yeah, you need to do that last part, because you’re trying to make the barrier to entry as low as possible. Now, unless you’ve decided to run GURPS (which, in case you couldn’t guess, maybe don’t), explaining that new character sheet should take 10-15 minutes, tops. Most games are one die roll to do things and then a more different die roll for a few magnitudes, like damage. Once the basics are down, just run into the adventure, explaining things along the way. If I can use this method to teach the basics of D&D in under half an hour, it’ll work for most games you’ll bring to the table.
It should go without saying, but this one-shot should be fun for your group! For this method to work you need to provide a good gaming experience, and it should be the sort of fun your group already likes. It might also be worth it to go for something novel and different, both to be more memorable and to make it clear that ‘one-shot day’ isn’t some form of indoctrination (which, based on some of the comments I’ve read on Reddit, is a real risk). Try Dread, and let your group white-knuckle a Jenga tower. Try Fiasco and make the game more light-hearted, or try Paranoia and lampshade some tropes. I shouldn’t need to say this, but it needs to be enjoyable. If you aren’t enjoying yourselves at game day, why even have it?
If you’re a player in a D&D group, you won’t have the leverage to take a week off and run a one-shot. You can volunteer to run a one-shot for a session, and follow as above, but your group may say no, and that’s their right. If you find yourself in a situation, either as a player or as a GM, where your group is not interested in playing anything you’re interested in, it’s time to think more about how to get the gaming you actually want.
The Gaming You Want
At a certain point, you need to ask yourself if you’re getting the gaming experience you actually want. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to go quit your group, but if you haven’t taken the time to explore what the broader gaming community has to offer, now is a great time; with COVID being like it is, you probably have much less of a social life to get in the way of gaming an extra night a week if that’s what you want to do. Go hang out in gamer spaces online, and find people willing to play games you’re interested in. Maybe check out spaces like The Gauntlet, or online sessions run by companies like Magpie Games. You’re going to (hopefully) see that there are many opportunities to play the games you want to so long as you look for them. You’re also going to more fully understand where the gaming you do with your friends sits in the continuum of the gaming you want. For some people, this will be a wake-up call and they’ll quit the old D&D group. For many others, though, it’s an additional perspective that helps with understanding the value of gaming with friends, preferred ruleset or not.
This perspective is going to illustrate the very real point that many (if not most) people are playing RPGs with friends because of the ‘with friends’ aspect. Quitting a group of your friends is hard, especially if there’s no other way to see them (which, in COVID times, is really real). Hopefully it doesn’t need to be said, but talk with your friends! There are plenty of ways to keep the gaming part fresh; maybe instead of trying to switch the whole campaign over you make ‘one-shot day’ a regular occurrence, or talk about ways to switch up the playstyle without changing up the rules. You could also do what I do and keep gaming on the side. My main group doesn’t even play D&D and I still find it really nice to play different games with a different group of people; it helps a whole lot with the “grass is greener” issue that comes from constantly reading new RPGs. Playing a couple of games, especially with different groups, can help you appreciate what a new set of rules (and a new group of players for that matter) will and won’t solve. Rules alone don’t make up the RPG experience, but sometimes the only way to remind ourselves of that is by trying something new.
Finally, I have a few words for the D&D players out there, the ones who all have ‘that friend’ who it seems is constantly trying to get you to try something new. At the end of the day, everyone wants to enjoy themselves at the gaming table and yes, there’s a lot of people who don’t particularly enjoy D&D, or have issues with it for other reasons. Whether you want to learn a new system or not, listen to everyone at your table, and listen to those who want to try something different or new. It’s no fun to feel like you’re always just going along with the rest of the group, and often if someone’s insistent about trying something different it’s because they aren’t having fun. All of you should be talking about what’s going to work best for the whole group, and there are a lot of options out there (both under the D&D umbrella and not) for any playstyle you can imagine. That doesn’t mean you have to dump your campaign, but have empathy if someone feels like they’re just going along to get along.
While there are plenty of valid criticisms of D&D, they don’t really matter at the game table. The effects of cultural and economic monopoly will not be solved by any one gaming group, and even I know it’s not a bad thing if that gaming group came together because of D&D. But when I say there’s a wide world of games out there, I’m saying it for the people who already know, the people who feel like it’s a wide world of games they’ll never get to try. As frustrating as that can be, know that everyone is at the table to have fun. If you honestly think a new game will help your group have fun, then put in some work to introduce them to a positive new experience (without being negative about the existing one). If your fun doesn’t mesh with the rest of the group’s fun, it’s OK to have your fun elsewhere. It is a wide world of games out there, and everyone should be playing the one they want. And that does include everyone playing D&D.

One morning about a month ago, Xy couldn’t get our car started, and she had to catch a ride with a co-worker.
I was all set to take it to the shop, but when I tried it an hour later, it started right up for me. So we dismissed it as a fluke.
This morning we had a repeat performance. Car wouldn’t start for Xy. I tried it too and it wouldn’t start for me either.
It had full electrical power, but nary a peep from the engine. Not a grind, not a click — nothing. Though you could listen to the radio if you wanted.
A couple hours later, it started up with no problems.
So now it’s not a fluke. It’s a pattern, and a rather aggravating one at that.
Other than this, the car runs fine. It’s a Saturn Ion 3 circa 2005.
What on earth could be causing this mysterious problem? We’ve racked our brains and can only think of a couple of common factors, which are probably red herrings. Both times, Xy had just filled up the gas tank the night before. Both times, it rained in the early morning.
I’m thinking about calling Tom & Ray on this one.


I forgot all about Sweet Child of Mine - I love that one too.
And Sweet Baby James is a good one to sing.
You all have good ones! And I think its sweet to sing, even if you don't think you can carry a tune.
Does anybody else have the same reaction to Baby mine from Dumbo? I never liked Dumbo the movie because it always made me so sad, even when I was little. Lyrics:
Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play Don't you mind what they say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they'd give just for The right to hold you
From your head to your toes You're not much, goodness knows But you're so precious to me Cute as can be, baby of mine

In choir we're singing "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" and I'm a soprano. It has LOADS of high notes sung fortissimo (very loud) and the baby almost always wakes up and moves around.
Obviously the baby hears the choir songs most, but I also sing around the house, and with the radio. I'm a singer. I used to sing with a professional (nothing amazing or famous, but we get paid!) group, but I have to take a year off, because I wouldn't fit in the costume, and the performances are every weekend in August & September. *sigh*
I plan on singing a LOT and taking baby to choir with me, whenever I can.

I have such a terrible voice I'm sure my baby would prefer me to abstain from singing to him. I do find myself singing "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor lately. This moring I was singing "Somebody To Love" by Queen but that's only because I watched American Idol last night and can't get it out of my head. I usually just play music for him...I read on-line that babies like classical music and they mentioned that they respond well to Vivaldi's Seasons. We just happen to have the CD as I walked down the aisle to "Winter" when my husband and I got married. So far I haven't really noticed any increased movement when I play Vivaldi.

What songs do you sing to your baby?
I've been singing "Baby Mine" from Dumbo (although it always makes me cry a little), and "First Day of my Life" by Bright Eyes.
Other ones I like: -"God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys -parts that I can remember of "In My Life" by the Beatles -"Pink Moon" by Nick Drake -"Can't Take My Eyes Off of You"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Models of communication refers to the conceptual model used to explain the human communication process. The first major model for communication came in 1949 by Claude Elwood Shannon and Warren Weaver for Bell Laboratories Following the basic concept, communication is the process of sending and receiving messages or transferring information from one part (sender) to another (receiver).
Shannon and Weaver Model
The new model was designed to mirror the functioning of radio and telephone technologies. Their initial model consisted of three primary parts: sender, channel, and receiver. The sender was the part of a telephone a person spoke into, the channel was the telephone itself, and the receiver was the part of the phone where one could hear the other person. Shannon and Weaver also recognized that often there is static that interferes with one listening to a telephone conversation, which they deemed noise. The noise could also mean the absence of signal.
In a simple model, often referred to as the transmission model or standard view of communication, information or content (e.g. a message in natural language) is sent in some form (as spoken language) from an emisor/ sender/ encoder to a destination/ receiver/ decoder. This common conception of communication views communication as a means of sending and receiving information. The strengths of this model are simplicity, generality, and quantifiability. Mathematicians Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver structured this model based on the following elements:
An information source, which produces a message. A transmitter, which encodes the message into signals A channel, to which signals are adapted for transmission A receiver, which 'decodes' (reconstructs) the message from the signal. A destination, where the message arrives.
Shannon and Weaver argued that there were three levels of problems for communication within this theory.
In 1960, David Berlo expanded Shannon and Weaver’s,Steven Munyao (1949) linear model of communication and created the SMCR Model of Communication. The Source-Message-Channel-Receiver Model of communication separated the model into clear parts and has been expanded upon by other scholars.
Communication is usually described along a few major dimensions: Message (what type of things are communicated), source / emisor / sender / encoder (by whom), form (in which form), channel (through which medium), destination / receiver / target / decoder (to whom), and Receiver. Wilbur Schramm (1954) also indicated that we should also examine the impact that a message has (both desired and undesired) on the target of the message. Between parties, communication includes acts that confer knowledge and experiences, give advice and commands, and ask questions. These acts may take many forms, in one of the various manners of communication. The form depends on the abilities of the group communicating. Together, communication content and form make messages that are sent towards a destination. The target can be oneself, another person or being, another entity (such as a corporation or group of beings).
Therefore, communication is social interaction where at least two interacting agents share a common set of signs and a common set of semiotic rules. This commonly held rule in some sense ignores autocommunication, including intrapersonal communication via diaries or self-talk, both secondary phenomena that followed the primary acquisition of communicative competences within social interactions.
In light of these weaknesses, Barnlund (1970) proposed a transactional model of communication. The basic premise of the transactional model of communication is that individuals are simultaneously engaging in the sending and receiving of messages.
In a slightly more complex form a sender and a receiver are linked reciprocally. This second attitude of communication, referred to as the constitutive model or constructionist view, focuses on how an individual communicates as the determining factor of the way the message will be interpreted. Communication is viewed as a conduit; a passage in which information travels from one individual to another and this information becomes separate from the communication itself. A particular instance of communication is called a speech act. The sender's personal filters and the receiver's personal filters may vary depending upon different regional traditions, cultures, or gender; which may alter the intended meaning of message contents. In the presence of "communication noise" on the transmission channel (air, in this case), reception and decoding of content may be faulty, and thus the speech act may not achieve the desired effect. One problem with this encode-transmit-receive-decode model is that the processes of encoding and decoding imply that the sender and receiver each possess something that functions as a code-book, and that these two code books are, at the very least, similar if not identical. Although something like code books is implied by the model, they are nowhere represented in the model, which creates many conceptual difficulties.
Theories of co-regulation describe communication as a creative and dynamic continuous process, rather than a discrete exchange of information. Canadian media scholar Harold Innis had the theory that people use different types of media to communicate and which one they choose to use will offer different possibilities for the shape and durability of society (Wark, McKenzie 1997). His famous example of this is using ancient Egypt and looking at the ways they built themselves out of media with very different properties stone and papyrus. Papyrus is what he called 'Space Binding'. it made possible the transmission of written orders across space, empires and enables the waging of distant military campaigns and colonial administration. The other is stone and 'Time Binding', through the construction of temples and the pyramids can sustain their authority generation to generation, through this media they can change and shape communication in their society (Wark, McKenzie 1997).
Bernard Luskin, UCLA, 1970, advanced computer assisted instruction and began to connect media and psychology into what is now the field of media psychology. In 1998, the American Association of Psychology, Media Psychology Division 46 Task Force report on psychology and new technologies combined media and communication as pictures, graphics and sound increasingly dominate modern communication. The Social Psychology of Communication is the first comprehensive introduction to social psychological perspectives on communication. This accessible guide provides an overview of key theoretical approaches from a variety of different disciplines (including cognitive, developmental and evolutionary psychology) as well as practical guidance on how to implement communication interventions in differing contexts.
Divided into three parts covering theoretical perspectives, special topics in communication and applied areas and practice, the book features:
• Navigational tools providing a 'how to' guide to using the book most effectively • A list of key words at the beginning of each chapter which are highlighted throughout the chapter for easy reference • A thorough glossary of keywords and definitions • A section on Special Topics in Communication including identity and resistance, rumour and gossip, evolution and communication
This book will be an invaluable resource for students, academics and practitioners in Psychology and Communication. (Sounds like ad for the book?)
There is an additional working definition of communication to consider[examples needed] that authors like Richard A. Lanham (2003) and as far back as Erving Goffman (1959) have highlighted. This is a progression from Lasswell’s attempt to define human communication through to this century and revolutionized into the constructionist model. Constructionists believe that the process of communication is in itself the only messages that exist. The packaging can not be separated from the social and historical context from which it arose, therefore the substance to look at in communication theory is style for Richard Lanham and the performance of self for Erving Goffman.
Lanham chose to view communication as the rival to the over encompassing use of CBS model (which pursued to further the transmission model). CBS model argues that clarity, brevity, and sincerity are the only purpose to prose discourse, therefore communication. Lanham wrote, “If words matter too, if the whole range of human motive is seen as animating prose discourse, then rhetoric analysis leads us to the essential questions about prose style” (Lanham 10). This is saying that rhetoric and style are fundamentally important; they are not errors to what we actually intend to transmit. The process which we construct and deconstruct meaning deserves analysis.
Erving Goffman sees the performance of self as the most important frame to understand communication. Goffman wrote, “What does seem to be required of the individual is that he learn enough pieces of expression to be able to ‘fill in’ and manage, more or less, any part that he is likely to be given” (Goffman 73) Goffman is highlighting the significance of expression.
The truth in both cases is the articulation of the message and the package as one. The construction of the message from social and historical context is the seed as is the pre-existing message is for the transmission model. Therefore any look into communication theory should include the possibilities drafted by such great scholars as Richard A. Lanham and Erving Goffman that style and performance is the whole process.
Communication stands so deeply rooted in human behaviors and the structures of society that scholars have difficulty thinking of it while excluding social or behavioral events.[weasel words] Because communication theory remains a relatively young field of inquiry and integrates itself with other disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, and sociology, one probably cannot yet[update] expect a consensus conceptualization of communication across disciplines.[weasel words]
Communication Model Terms as provided by Rothwell (11-15):
Humans act toward people or things on the basis of the meanings they assign to those people or things. -”Language is the source of meaning.” -Meaning arises out of the social interaction people have with each other.
-Meaning is not inherent in objects but it is negotiated through the use of language, hence the term symbolic interactionism. As human beings, we have the ability to name things. Symbols, including names, are arbitrary signs. By talking with others, we ascribe meaning to words and develop a universe of discourse A symbol is a stimulus that has a learned/shared meaning and a value for people Significant symbols can be nonverbal as well as linguistic.
-Negative responses can consequently reduce a person to nothing. -Our expectations evoke responses that confirm what we originally anticipated, resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It is a one way model to communicate with others. It consists of the sender encoding a message and channeling it to the receiver in the presence of noise. In this model there is no feedback which may allow for a continues exchange of information. This form of communication is a one-way form of communication that does not involve any feedback or response, and noise. (F.N.S. Palma, 1993,
It is two linear models stacked on top of each other. The sender channels a message to the receiver and the receiver then becomes the sender and channels a message to the original sender. This model has added feedback, indicating that communication is not a one way but a two way process. It also has “field of experience” which includes our cultural background, ethnicity geographic location, extent of travel, and general personal experiences accumulated over the course of your lifetime. Draw backs – there is feedback but it is not simultaneous.
It assumes that people are connected through communication; they engage in transaction. First, it recognizes that each of us is a sender-receiver, not merely a sender or a receiver. Secondly, it recognizes that communication affects all parties involved. So communication is fluid/simultaneous. This is what most conversations are like. The transactional model also contains ellipses that symbolize the communication environment (how you interpret the data that you are given). Where the ellipses meet is the most effective communication area because both communicators share the same meaning of the message.
It is helpful to examine communication theory through one of the following viewpoints[weasel words]
Inspection of a particular theory on this level will provide a framework on the nature of communication as seen within the confines of that theory.
Theories can also be studied and organized according to the ontological, epistemological, and axiological framework imposed by the theorist.
Ontology essentially poses the question of what, exactly, it is the theorist is examining. One must consider the very nature of reality. The answer usually falls in one of three realms depending on whether the theorist sees the phenomena through the lens of a realist, nominalist, or social constructionist. Realist perspective views the world objectively, believing that there is a world outside of our own experience and cognitions. Nominalists see the world subjectively, claiming that everything outside of one’s cognitions is simply names and labels. Social constructionists straddle the fence between objective and subjective reality, claiming that reality is what we create together.[unbalanced opinion][neutrality is disputed]
Meanings are in people, not in words.
Epistemology is an examination of how the theorist studies the chosen phenomena. In studying epistemology, particularly from a positivist perspective, objective knowledge is said[who?] to be the result of a systematic look at the causal relationships of phenomena. This knowledge is usually attained through use of the scientific method[neutrality is disputed]. Scholars often think [weasel words] that empirical evidence collected in an objective manner is most likely to reflect truth in the findings. Theories of this ilk are usually created to predict a phenomenon. Subjective theory holds that understanding is based on situated knowledge, typically found using interpretative methodology such as ethnography and also interviews. Subjective theories are typically developed to explain or understand phenomena in the social world.
Axiology is concerned with how values inform research and theory development. Most communication theory is guided by one of three axiological approaches. The first approach recognizes that values will influence theorists' interests but suggests that those values must be set aside once actual research begins. Outside replication of research findings is particularly important in this approach to prevent individual researchers' values from contaminating their findings and interpretations. The second approach rejects the idea that values can be eliminated from any stage of theory development. Within this approach, theorists do not try to divorce their values from inquiry. Instead, they remain mindful of their values so that they understand how those values contextualize, influence or skew their findings. The third approach not only rejects the idea that values can be separated from research and theory, but rejects the idea that they should be separated. This approach is often adopted by critical theorists who believe that the role of communication theory is to identify oppression and produce social change. In this axiological approach, theorists embrace their values and work to reproduce those values in their research and theory development.
A discipline gets defined in large part by its theoretical structure.[weasel words] Communication studies often borrow theories from other social sciences[neutrality is disputed]. This theoretical variation makes it difficult to come to terms with the field as a whole[neutrality is disputed]. That said, some common taxonomies exist that serve to divide up the range of communication research. Two common mappings involve contexts and assumptions.
Many authors and researchers[who?] divide communication by what they sometimes called "contexts" or "levels", but which more often represent institutional histories[neutrality is disputed]. The study of communication in the US, while occurring within departments of psychology, sociology, linguistics, and anthropology (among others), generally developed from schools of rhetoric and from schools of journalism. While many of these have become "departments of communication", they often retain their historical roots, adhering largely to theories from speech communication in the former case, and from mass media in the latter. The great divide between speech communication and mass communication becomes complicated by a number of smaller sub-areas of communication research, including intercultural and international communication, small group communication, communication technology, policy and legal studies of communication, telecommunication, and work done under a variety of other labels. Some of these departments take a largely social-scientific perspective, others tend more heavily toward the humanities, and still others gear themselves more toward production and professional preparation.
These "levels" of communication provide some way of grouping communication theories, but inevitably, some theories and concepts leak from one area to another, or fail to find a home at all.
Another way of dividing up the communication field emphasizes the assumptions that undergird particular theories, models, and approaches. Robert T. Craig suggests that the field of communication as a whole can be understood as several different traditions who have a specific view on communication. By showing the similarities and differences between these traditions, Craig argues that the different traditions will be able to engage each other in dialogue rather than ignore each other. Craig proposes seven different traditions which are:
Craig finds each of these clearly defined against the others, and remaining cohesive approaches to describing communicative behavior. As a taxonomic aid, these labels help to organize theory by its assumptions, and help researchers to understand why some theories may seem incommensurable.
While communication theorists very commonly use these two approaches, theorists decentralize the place of language and machines as communicative technologies. The idea (as argued by Vygotsky) of communication as the primary tool of a species defined by its tools remains on the outskirts of communication theory. It finds some representation in the Toronto School of communication theory (alternatively sometimes called medium theory) as represented by the work of Innis, McLuhan, and others. It seems that the ways in which individuals and groups use the technologies of communication — and in some cases are used by them — remain central to what communication researchers do. The ideas that surround this, and in particular the place of persuasion, remain constants across both the "traditions" and "levels" of communication theory.


Leading Social Advertising Company Reaches Consumers in the Stream Using Patented Technology
SAN FRANCISCO — 140 Proof, the leading social stream ad platform for Twitter and Facebook, announced the completion of a $2.5 million Series B funding round today.
“Marketers know they need to reach consumers in the social stream and 140 Proof has a unique solution that meets this tremendous marketing opportunity”
BlueRun Ventures led the round, which also included angel investors like Mark Kingdon, former CEO of Organic Inc. The new investors join a roster that includes Silicon Valley heavy-hitters like Ron Conway’s SV Angel and Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, the investors behind Facebook.
140 Proof works with social stream applications to deliver sharable advertising at the very top of a consumers’ social stream – the torrent of Twitter and Facebook updates that consumers check daily.
“Marketers know they need to reach consumers in the social stream and 140 Proof has a unique solution that meets this tremendous marketing opportunity,” said John Malloy, investment partner at BlueRun Ventures. “Their stream-targeted ads help brands deliver a message and see it spread virally across social networks. The 140 Proof solution provides real social marketing value through tangible, consistent and manageable results.”
The company’s patented technology helps marketers target consumers in the social space based on whom they follow, keywords used in their social streams and other publicly available keys from their social graph. Marketers can leverage the platform in real-time to serve more engaging social display ads.
“140 Proof helps marketers reach relevant consumers in an environment where discovery and sharing are the norm,” said Jon Elvekrog, 140 Proof CEO. “We’re happy to have the support of our new investors as we accelerate growth based on the proven results we’ve delivered over the past 15 months in this highly interactive advertising channel.”
Even though Twitter and Facebook have internal sales teams helping advertisers use their platforms, large brands have been unable to reach consumers within social streams in a way that is effective, scalable, efficient and accountable. 140 Proof solves all of these problems.
Led by three senior executives with experience at web companies including Organic, ESPN, and LinkExchange, 140 Proof began developing its IP and technology two years ago, before many even considered the social stream as an advertising channel. 140 Proof’s network currently reaches 200 million unique users in the U.S. on behalf of more than 100 brand advertisers.

From my one to one with Mr. Solen Feyissa last week, I learned that the term for internet haters is 'trolls". So I typed it on google to see what results came out. I found this article, as short as it was, made me disgusted and just confused by how and why trolls are the way they are. Here is an example from the article of what the trolls said about Adele's (pop singer) baby boy who was recently born...
One troll said,
"Adele's baby should be killed because it will be "fat and disabled".
The user told 4,000 followers: "Aw Adele gave birth to a baby. Is it fat and handicapped lol? Just murder it already lol."
Apparently, "loads more Twitter users 'joked' that Adele would suffer post natal depression and therefore have plenty more 'material' for her next album."
I thought the case of Kristen Stewart I posted last week was bad, but this is about a baby. A baby, who done nothing wrong... who was born into the world where not even a week old, he is being hated by people...... Why? For what?
It is just amazing how far trolls would take it to the extreme. I feel they are just cowards, cowards who cannot say such things in real life. I wonder what would happen if a troll actually got in an argument with another troll online. Would that help the trolls to understand how futile this circle of unjustified hatred is? Or would it not solve anything at all?
Education seemed to be (from my research so far) the cure or answer or mild sedative to these troll syndrome. I wonder what would happen in real life if trolls were put in a jury duty. What would happen to the verdict? I also wonder what the motives are for trolls when they vote/if they vote. Would they vote between the two presidential candidates basing on hatred? Or just for fun?
I wonder if trolls are actually a phase. Perhaps it would be interesting to find out about the typical age of internet trolls. If they are mostly adolescents, would they grow out of the phase? What would happen to an adolescent if he performed an act of trolling and got caught by the school principle and thus the entire school found out about his misdeed? Would the school publicly criticize him, making him an outcast? Or due to bad trend in high school community, would the high school students revere him?
Back to the issue, this is a baby we are talking about. Just hating on a baby I feel is just beyond stupidity or ignorance. There has to be a new word to describe this atrocious act. Perhaps trolls should be hurt themselves to realize the pain that they caused.
I just wonder about how this society, more attention is given when people fail... celebrity magazines always focus on rumor-worthy materials which many of the times are rumors of cheating, plastic surgery, etc. Could it be that the whole reason why trolls exist is because there is a subtle trend in USA that focus on finding and blaming people's faults? If this trend were to change to seeking gifts and values and searching for strengths, would things improve?
To end this post, I just feel somehow that internet trolls are just simply desperate for attention, they are desperate to make rumors about other people's lives because there is hardly anything worthy or noble to talk about their own lives.
I feel my research is getting more and more interesting.


Rom. 8:3-4 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Living a righteous life is a major aspect of what all religion is about. It was only Judaism and later Christianity that taught that man was desperately wicked because of his fallen condition. The condition is so dire that man has no chance of being righteous or living a life pleasing to God. Despite our best efforts, all of our attempts at goodness fall miserably short. That is where the superiority of the gospel message shines brightest. All who believe in the sacrificial death of Christ are declared righteous as a free gift. The righteous life that Jesus Christ lived is credited to us, He took our judgement, we received His righteousness. But wait, the news gets even better. Not only are we declared righteous, The Lord comes to live His life in us. We actually begin to experience a transformation where we began to live a life like Christ. This becomes the testimony of Jesus, Christ living His righteous life in us. Here is how A.B. Simpson describes it.
“As long as we struggle under law-that is, by our own effort-sin
shall have dominion over us. But the moment we step from under the
shadow of Sinai and throw ourselves upon the simple grace of Christ and
His free and absolute gift of righteousness, the struggle is practically
over. We take Him to be to us what He has pledged Himself to be-our
righteousness of thought and feeling-and ask Him to keep us, in spite of
everything that ever can be against us, in His perfect will and peace.
Do we really know and believe that this is the very promise of the gospel, the very essence of the new covenant? Do we believe Christ pledges Himself to put His law in our hearts, to cause us to walk in His statutes and to keep His judgments and do them? Do we know that this is the oath which He swore unto Abraham-that he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life? He has sworn to do this for us, and He is faithful that promised. Let us trust Him.”
The gospel is the power of God to salvation to all those who believe. Not only are we covered by God’s grace, we receive the gift of righteousness by faith. The gospel is not a cover to continue in our sin, far from it. It is the way out, the only way out of the snares of sin.

Today, Victory Fellowship has three Campuses in the New Orleans Metro Area.

The Grammy Award-winning group includes singers Darmon Meader, Peter Eldridge, Kim Nazarian and Lauren Kinhan. The band was founded in 1987 in Ithaca, where three of the four singers attended college.
The program will be all holiday music, with the four singers backed by a trio.
Tickets, priced at $25, $35 and $50, go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at Sound Garden in Armory Square. They’re also available by calling 506-8592.
This is the third event since Syracuse Jazz Fest founder and producer Frank Malfitano joined with Dunbar officials to bring the fundraiser back with a concert by Freddy Cole in 2009, after decades spent dormant.
That show raised between $3,000 and $4,000, said Steve Williams, president of the Dunbar Association. Last year’s show, which featured Spyro Gyra, raised about $10,000. Dunbar Association interim director Louella Williams said Tuesday at a news conference at the Palace Theatre that the association hopes to raise more than that with this year’s event.
The Dunbar Community Center, at 1453 State St., Syracuse, uses the money to help fund its 14 service agencies that help youth, teens and seniors.
