Here's the Top Ten Safest, Used Cars Under $10,000
By The Edwards Law Firm
Top 10 Safest Used Cars for Under $10,000
Audi and Volvo models hold the first five spots on a U.S. World & News Report 2018 list of "safest used vehicles under $10,000." It's not surprising these luxury brands lead the pack since upscale brands tend to be early adopters of safety technology.
The list order reflects rankings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), test results (where available) from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), and recall histories. It's a handy resource for parents looking to buy the first car for a teen, young families or anyone who just wants a car with some of the most life-saving features at an affordable price.
Safety Features Proven to Save Lives
Advances in technology are making vehicles safer than ever before. According to a study by the IIHS, lane departure warning technology – which alerts sleepy or distracted drivers that they are straying into another lane – by itself resulted in an 11% drop in single-vehicle, sideswipe, and head-on crashes in 2015.
But new safety features can add thousands to the cost of a new car. So for those on a budget, finding the sweet spot between affordability and safety is important. Just be aware that some safety features were only offered as add-ons at the time of purchase, so not all vehicles will have all features. Be sure to ask which ones are included in the car you're considering.
Audi and Volvo have long been known for their emphasis on safety. But Kia and Hyundai, which are known first for affordability, also made the list.
2011 Audi A3 – Luxury small car, $8,199
2010 Audi A4 – Luxury sedan, $8,012
2010 Audi A4 Wagon – Luxury station wagon, $9,815
2011 Volvo C30 – Luxury small compact, $5,500
2010 Volvo C70 – Luxury Hardtop convertible, $8,197
2012 MINI Cooper Countryman – Sporty sedan, $9,573
2011 Hyundai Elantra – Midsize sedan, $7,778
2010 Volkswagen Eos – Upscale convertible, $5,982
2011 Hyundai Genesis – Luxury large car, $9,676
2011 Nissan Juke – Small SUV, $8,031
US News lists 30 vehicles altogether, including cars and SUVs from Kia, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Jeep, Toyota, Acura, Buick, BMW, and Scion, so there's sure to be a model that fits your style and your budget.
Road safety should be a major concern for us all. Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day, according to the National Safety Institute. Another 20-50 million are injured or disabled. More than half of all road traffic deaths occur among young adults ages 15-44, and motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. Driving a car with the most safety options you can afford is money well spent.

Auckland Transport is partnering with Electrify.nz to support the uptake of ebikes and cycling in Auckland.
Following a number of other organisations and public sector employers, including Tauranga City Council, staff are able to purchase an ebike through Electrify.nz with a discount on some bike brands, as part of a pilot.
Planning Committee chair and avid bike rider, Cr Chris Darby, says the partnership helps even more people take up cycling and enables Auckland Transport to walk the talk – or bike the hype, as the case may be.
AT Chief Executive Shane Ellison says the partnership will encourage even more people to ride bikes on Auckland's growing cycling network.
"Already 81 per cent of our staff come to work using sustainable transport, either walking, cycling, using public transport or carpooling.
"This partnership is a great opportunity for staff to get an ebike. The cost can be prohibitive for some people wanting to get one, but this is a way for us to help our staff to make the most of our cycling infrastructure and demonstrate our leadership in addressing the congestion, emissions, and growth challenges facing our region," he says.
"Ebikes can open up our neighbourhoods and give people the chance to make journeys they would usually need a car for. Many of our staff already cycle and an ebike can make this transition even easier.
"Assuming the pilot is successful we would love to see more employers offer the same opportunity to their employees," he says.
AT is also offering staff a salary advance to assist their purchase.
The salary advance would be repaid automatically through staff members' pay over 12 months.
2018 has been a big year for cycling in Auckland.
52,800 people started riding bikes, and across our 26 city cycling counters 3.587 million cycle movements were recorded for the year of November 2017 to October 2018, an increase of 6.8% on the previous 12 months.


Lately, in the afternoon, the weather's unforgiving-ly hot & humid. We would rather have a simple lunch somewhere near to our workplace, rather than venturing far for some grubs. As luck would have it, I 'accidentally' overheard an Indian man promoting a spanking new restaurant/cafe occupying the previous Ice Ice Baby desserts cafe's lot. Come what may, we were eager to see what the fuss was all about.
Pleasantly surprised to see the aforementioned cafe transformed into Benaz Cafe aka Briyani House, serving Northern Indian fare. With the addition of this Indian restaurant to the mix, the array of cuisines in Old Town, Ipoh is represented by almost all ethnic groups, and international fare, save the Japanese and Korean cuisines.
Browsing the extensive menu was no breeze in the park. Plus the foreign sounding Indian dishes sans any descriptions added to the confusion. But the owner was one friendly Indian man, catering to every customer's needs and queries with flair. Yup, he was zipping in and out, preparing the drinks, taking orders, serving them, etc. Only at the end of the meal we were told that 2 waitresses did not show up for work that afternoon, leaving the waiting staff slightly handicapped.
KYT's Lassi was a creamy yoghurt drink, though slightly salty and an acquired taste for some. TallGal's Starfruit Juice was freshly squeezed (I think) however seemed slightly diluted (TallGal, true ah?). While my Kashmiri tea, well, did not arrive. Hahaha …. He was too busy and completely forgotten about my order. But it was all good, as everyone's served with a glass of warm water.
To lessen our worries or indecisiveness, he wisely recommended the Briyani Set Lunch, consisting of Nasi Briyani, Fish Masala, Palak Paneer, Vegetables in Yoghurt, Mint Sauce, Coconut Chutney, a plate of Mixed Vegetables and a plate of watermelon as desserts. Sounds like a lot eh? In reality, it was not so. The serving's dainty, yet sufficient for one.
Tastewise? The Briyani Rice was nothing spectacular, I've had better ones. But still the fluffy grains of rice cooked with spices paired well with the condiments and side dishes. The fish masala was a tad too sour, though appetizing, but somehow overwhelming. In fact, most of the side dishes were either sour, or slightly salty. Hmm … And most side dishes incorporate raw onions, which I've no problem with, but if you're expecting someone important, or meeting client, better stay away from those stinkers !!!!
The saving grace came in the form of Palak Paneer. Slightly different from Pakeeza's (click HERE for previous raves and rants) version of mashed spinach with cottage cream cheese, the version served at Benaz's was swimming in curry-like gravy, and the spinach was chopped albeit not as finely as I'd like them to be. But the cottage cheese provided much relief, lending the dish a creamy texture and richer flavours.
Location : Benaz Cafe (Briyani House) @ Jln Tun Sambanthan, next to Mixed Cuisine, and same row with Momo Steamboat, and Old Town Kopitiam. Facing Padang Ipoh, the place is rather easy to locate. Tel : 019-2823392/016-3956459.
oh… kinda of miss the old ice ice baby… lol, seems good northern indian fare there…. will giv it a try next time.
Have u tried the banana leaf rice at chemor? Thumbs up! Hot and spicy!
wa… damn cheap la, rm 7.90 only… lassi rm 2.50?? CHEAP!! ei, they serve nasi briyani only?? got any set lunch like capati, thosai??
huh?? Time Warper: thumbs Up?? Hot and spicy??? haha… i can imagine how he looks like after indulging those hot and spicy stuffs.. *sweating*— *sweating*— hahaha..
Opening pics looks promising only huh! Can see the briyanni on pic not uptomarks. Yes, love the palak paneer too with feta. Wonder feta = cottage cheese.
You should rename dailymotormouth, churning out each blog so fast. Good Job.
mycroft : us too! I think Ice Ice baby's the place for simple desserts or drinks.
time warper : Chemor ah? I know Chemor got very popular curry rice, but dunno where la. Show me?
kca : got naan n tandoori. roti canai none la, NORTH indian food this one. I can imagine TW perspiring like no 2mr also!
little inbox : actually, me too! 🙂 there's something deeply satisfying from seeing scoops and scoops of rice, vege and curry ladles onto your leaf!
I'm gonna try this. Probably it will taste better after > 1 week track, inconsideration of their shorthanded staff & newly open.
But I'm stating to miss this Ice Ice Baby.
BTW..I do not think the Chemor's fame banana rice is very very good. I know is pricey as I had mutton curry banana rice that cost me RM10 a year ago. That was my very last trip..
hmmm now this reminds me i have a long overdue post about this indian restaurant in penang! lol. i love briyani rice and rm7.90 is really good value for money!
hulk : yup, I'll be giving them another try, probably in the next 2 wks or so.
Chemor's banana leaf rice not good? hmmm, let me clarify that with Time Warper.
lingzie : yeah it's cheap! but the portion's not that big.
christy : oh, not spicy at all, no worries!
btw, Ice Ice Baby was closed few months ago, after being in operation for many yrs.
Ice Ice Baby closed down ar…? Poor thing. Less one more place to hang out.
Hey..I lunch there thinking there some set lunch. Unfortunately only available on weekdays. Nevertheless..I had few recommended side dishes..it is not that bad. Will definately go again & best is my other half not fans of Indian curry simply luv it.
My vote is..simply better then the Anderson's offerings.
Bill came to RM28 for 2 with Lamb Kasniri (RM7), chicken Vindaloo (RM8), vege (a/Gobi) & 2 helpings of Onion Naan(Rm3.50/piece).
jason : yeahloh. wonder why though bizness at nite not that bad.
hulk : oh really? they were really pushing their Aloo Gobi. must try someday. thanks!
The Indian food served ere is fantastic.We went in a group to eat there n v loved it.But don't know y some don't,maybe bcoz neva ate tis good indian food before or maybe didn't know what Indian food is all about.Hats off to the owner of Benaz Cafe for such spectacular hospitality.The cafe is so clean.The physical appearance doesnt matter ,becoz the food is good.so who cares if it still has the interior of ice-ice baby.The food tat matters.N thanks to the chef for such a good food.
Visit Benaz Cafe once and u will wana go there again and again.
the customer service was indeed top-notch! I'll be going again pretty soon, and try their naan, and other dishes.
hi there, erm, Anonymous. Super Kinta? oh, I never realised there is anything up there anymore. but they've renovated lately, probably should go for another visit.

Canada 150: What it means for animals.
Lia Laskaris May 31, 2017 Uncategorized Leave a Comment
By Vicki Van Linden, Advisor
Canada 150 is upon us. Let's make Canada 150 a time for reflection as we look to our future and our past.
It's true that we Canadians have a lot to be grateful for. We enjoy relative peace, prosperity, and safety, compared to many nations.
We are grateful to live where free speech is protected, and the right to protest legally and engage in our democracy makes political activism possible. While many of us are fortunate, we still live in a society where people are disenfranchised, where poverty and human suffering still exist.
We recognize too, that weak animal and environmental protection laws continue in Canada, perpetuated by our federal and provincial governments, and resulting in our national failure to progress more quickly regarding respect and protection of non-human animals and the environment. Even very basic protections are denied animals, perpetuated by Canada's very weak laws.
That's why, for Canada 150, we need to celebrate our growing community of people who care about animals and the environment. We need to celebrate our Canadian family which includes all living beings and the natural world.
We look back and see that Canada is a nation forged on the exploitation of animals and the environment. The early fur trade is celebrated in Canadian mythology as the beginning of our nation. Yet it wiped out entire populations of beavers in regions across Canada, all to enrich European businesses. Canadian beavers were seen only as a resource to be commercially exploited.
Canadian politicians still see Canada as a resource-driven economy, seemingly unable to embrace fully the necessary change to address pressing issues like global warming. We need leaders who will work with Canadians to develop a progressive, sustainable economy and who will challenge those governments that still pander to the so-called heritage industries like animal agriculture, logging, resource extraction, hunting, fishing, and trapping.
Today, commercial hunting out-fitters and guiding businesses lobby for political influence. And they get it. Foreign sport and trophy hunters are welcomed into Canadian forests to kill native wild animals for their pleasure and entertainment. And these out-dated practices are justified as part of 'heritage.'
Worse still, these same interests successfully influence governments to keep all animal protection laws weak. It seems that they fear that if the social status of any animal is raised, if Canadian law recognized that living animals are far more than inanimate possessions, that their activities may be seen for what they are – the cruel enjoyment of causing the suffering and death of other living beings.
Canadian animal transportation laws for farmed animals going to slaughter are some of the worst in the westernized world. Farming practices confine animals in abhorrent ways, and there is little sign of hope in sight. Even dogs in puppy mills and those brutalized in dog-fighting get no increase in protection from our Canadian government. In the 21st century Canada's governments cannot even shut down puppy mills! And, our Prime Minister wears the dead carcasses of coyotes on his coats.
Our responsibility is to stand in defence of animals and the environment. Our mandate is to challenge the status quo and build a political constituency that demands real protection.
Let's never give up.
And in celebrating Canada 150, let us remember those who went before us – those who founded humane societies, established rescue groups, fought for farm animals, advocated for wildlife and challenged the lack of protection for the environment – when our movement was in its infancy.
Let's honour their memories and celebrate Canada 150 by resolving to fight to protect animals and the environment every day.

David English Florence HotelLungarno Italy Michelangelo
If Michelangelo looked down on his Florence from heaven, he would be deeply impressed. Everywhere his work is omnipresent, everywhere people try to emulate him and create images of his monument. None of them will ever reach him, the artistry with which he once created the David sculpture is too complex and masterful for that. He would look down on the Galleria dellÁcademia, where his 5,17 m high monumental figure can be admired today and would be proud of himself and of his city that offered him this forum. It is the place where the angels dream.
Florence is a tribute to Italian culture and joie de vivre, which is reflected in the city's alleys, restaurants, museums, stores and hotels, such as the unique Hotel Lungarno, which belongs to the Lungarno Collection and therefore to the House of Ferragamo.
It is not only the first fashion hotel in the city with the irresistible view of the famous Ponte Vecchio, but an art exhibition with over 500 exhibits to admire in the rooms, hallways and lobby.
The repertoire ranges from Picasso to Cocteau, and my host, Valeriano Antonioli, CEO of the Lungarno Collection, is clearly proud to direct the best house in town. Renovated for 13 million euros in 2018, the former grande dame has become a beautiful young woman, says Antonioli, who has managed luxury hotels in St. Petersburg, LA, Phoenix and Sardinia. He has even played tennis with Vladimir Putin, chatted with Beyoncé at an NBA game or organized an important congress for Barack Obama. He himself is long part of the history of this hotel and fits perfectly in this incredible city.
From my room, I enjoy the view down to the river and watch the colorful hustle and bustle on Florence's oldest bridge, where today jewelry merchants, street musicians and tourists divide this 95-meter eternity among themselves. It's almost too good to be true, I think to myself, and start my day with breakfast on the terrace of the Hotel Lungarno, where I sip my first cappuccino. This is accompanied by omelettes with croissants, muesli and fruit salad.
Although the city is already full of people at this time, there is a dignified calm in the hotel that is contagious and gives strength for the upcoming cultural program.
The city is dominated by its cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore, which seems to cast a spell over me with its 107-meter-high dome.
So I stroll toward it and am first enchanted by the street painters at the Mercato del Porcellino, who are trying their hand at Vermeer's "Girl with the Pearl Earring" in addition to the famous image of David.
Chalk stroke by chalk stroke, the work of art builds up and shines in powerful colors, just like Florence on this beautiful morning that seems to know no layer of clouds.
The forecourt to the cathedral is already filled with travelers lining up to get a glimpse of the nave, so I head directly to the Galleria dellÁcademia for a close-up look at that statue of David that Michelangelo created from a single block of marble between 1501 and 1504.
Hardly any figure is more famous and perfect than that David who carries the slingshot over his shoulder to take up the fight against Goliath.
I'm impressed and go around the figure several times, before walking to the Palazzo Vecchio, where the great duel between Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo took place in 1503.
Both artists were each supposed to produce a battle painting in the Hall of the Five Hundred, but none of their approaches was ever completed. Nevertheless, the hall is an absolute must for any visit to the city, just like the Medici's private rooms, which can be admired here.
After the cultural treat, it's time for a spritz on what is probably the city's most beautiful rooftop terrace, which can be found at the Hotel Continentale, which is also part of the Lungarno Collection. You need a bit of luck or good relations with the PR manager Paola DiCredico to get one of the few seats at this rooftop bar. In return, you get to nibble on the lush life for a drink or two afterwards and enjoy the view of Florence's red-tiled rooftops.
The Ferragamos own four of these luxurious city palaces, which reflect a coordinated hotel ensemble in close proximity to each other, culminating in the Michelin-starred Borgo San Jacorpo restaurant at the Hotel Lungarno.
In general, Florence is not only culturally a place you can't get enough of, but also culinary a manifesto of Italian delights. There are thousands of inviting restaurants and at least as many ice cream parlors, so I particularly enjoy the ice cream at Vivoli, followed by perhaps the best guinea fowl leg of my life at Il Vezzo restaurant. What a special evening, at a balmy 28 degrees, you can still stroll through the alleys to listen to an opera singer belting out arias.
It is almost too good to be true and I pass one last time the street painters at the Mercato del Porcellino, who have already collected the chalk and destroy their day's work with a bottle of water. The colorful illusion is washed away each evening, only to awaken anew the next morning. This is true for this city as well as for Vermeer's drawing.
Epilogue:
There is a stormy atmosphere over the old cemetery, Cimitero delle Porte Sante, where I wander among the tombs and mausoleums. Some are dressed up and still mourned today, others are deserted and long destroyed by the wind.
I am alone on this hill looking down on this beautiful city, as Michelangelo once did. Every now and then a drop of rain falls from the sky and dries up in the marble of the memorials. This is the place where the angels weep.
This article was written at the invitation of the Hotel Lungarno in Florence. My thanks to the CEO of the Lungarno Collection, Valeriano Antonioli, for the inspiring conversation, the PR manager, Paola DiCredico, for the great recommendations and Barbara Schicker of girasole PR for the great organization.

CGG Veritas in €360 Million Convertible Bond Offering
Cleary Gottlieb represented the underwriters, led by BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited, Merrill Lynch International and Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking in a €360 million offering (including the over-allotment option, which was exercised in full) by Compagnie Générale de Géophysique-Veritas (CGGVeritas) of 1.25% bonds due January 1st, 2019, convertible into and/or exchangeable for new or existing shares of the issuer (known by its French acronym as "OCEANEs").
The purpose of the offering is to finance a portion of the €1.2 billion acquisition price to be paid by CGGVeritas in connection with the acquisition of the Geoscience Division of Fugro N.V., a Dutch listed company, which will also be financed through the net proceeds of a €414 million rights offering closed on October 23 (in which Cleary Gottlieb also represented the underwriters), as well as by way of set off with a €225 million payment to be made by Fugro upon the creation of a related joint venture, and through debt financing.
The offering, which launched and priced on November 13 and closed on November 20, was made to institutional investors outside the United States under Regulation S, including to qualified investors in Europe, and was made as a private placement to institutional investors in France. The bonds and the underlying shares are listed on the regulated market of NYSE Euronext in Paris. The shares of CGGVeritas are also listed, in the form of American Depositary Shares, on the New York Stock Exchange.
CGGVeritas is a leading manufacturer of geophysical equipment and international provider of geophysical services. Founded in France in 1931, CGGVeritas sells geophysical equipment primarily to other geophysical service companies and provides geophysical services principally to oil and gas companies that use seismic imaging to help explore for, develop and manage oil and gas reserves.

Already known for its butter smooth ride, the Onewheel electric board just received an update that allows riders to completely customize their ride. The Gemini firmware update brings a feature called Custom Shaping that revolutionizes the e-boarding game. Also included in the update is the ability of riders to share their rides via social media through the Onewheel app.
Carveability: Change the sensitivity of the board (from loose to tight) while turning and carving.
Stance profile: Control the baseline tilt angle of the board. Change your ride from nose up to nose down, or anywhere in-between.
Aggressiveness: Change how strongly the board reacts to your movements. Low aggressiveness will feel more plush, while high aggressiveness will feel tight and responsive.
I'm seriously impressed with what Onewheel is doing in the e-board space. How many other electronic boards do you know of that can completely change the feel of the ride on the fly like this? I can't wait to get my hands on a Onewheel and give it a try myself.
Also available in Onewheel's latest app update is the ability to social share within the app. Users can track their own rides and share them within the app so that riders around the world can check them out. Riders can also share photos of their rides in-app as well.
I can't wait to see what Future Motion has in store for Onewheel. I expect to receive a review unit next year so we can give you guys a first-hand look at what it's like to ride a Onewheel, so be sure to stay tuned!


Official and publicly accessible data on arms transfers is important for assessing states' arms export and arms procurement policies. However, publishing data on arms sales and acquisitions is a sensitive issue for nearly all states.

How Your Relationship Drama Will Train Future Robot Therapists
Textpert might seem like Quora for relationships, but responses power an engine that will give advice for years to come.
By S.C. Stuart
https://www.pcmag.com/news/how-your-relationship-drama-will-train-future-robot-therapists
In 2028, as you lie back on your retro-futuristic couch and spill your guts to your disembodied, artificially intelligent, cloud-based therapist service, you might want to thank mobile app Textpert(Opens in a new window). Because in 2016, Textpert crowdsourced countless questions about love, and a lot of helpful answers from anonymous bystanders, to build a deep database about affairs of the heart.
On the surface, Textpert looks like another mobile app that provides either wise counsel or pure entertainment, depending on your current relationship status. But deep inside, Textpert is sourcing, sorting, analyzing, doing A/B testing and categorizing it all for the future. PCMag met Ray Christian, CEO and founder of Textpert, in Los Angeles to find out what inspired him to create the service.
"Unsurprisingly, it started with heartbreak," he tells PCMag. "I'd been dating this woman—she was smart, funny, beautiful—I was smitten. But I couldn't get to that third date; my texts and calls were ignored. I thought, 'maybe I'm off my game? Maybe she's out of my league?' I just didn't know what was going on.
"Then I sat down with my sister one afternoon. I handed her my phone and said, 'Help me out.' She ghostwrote a couple of texts, and the woman wrote back instantly, saying: 'I want to see you tonight.' It was on."
Putting aside the notion that Ray's sister might well have a career as a relationship coach or writer of Hollywood romantic comedies ahead of her, the moral of the tale is that it takes one to know one. When decoding the behavior of the opposite sex, reinforcements are required.
"I knew there was a business in giving anonymous and helpful advice to relationship woes," Christian says. "I knew other people needed access to this."
Textpert was refined at UCLA's recent summer accelerator program(Opens in a new window), which is where PCMag saw Christian pitch his company to potential investors; it was clear the machine intelligence aspect caught their attention.
Textpert launched on iOS(Opens in a new window) this year; an Android version arrives in early 2017. It's free to use; just sign up using your phone number or Facebook login. Then post your relationship question or answer queries from other users. You decide whether responses will be public or private, and wait for the advice to roll in.
Surprisingly, answers are largely helpful. "The community pretty much self-monitors, which is great," Christian says. "Users will jump in instantly and say, 'Hey! This isn't Yik Yak, or [the now-defunct] Secret, stick to the topic!' and it all flows pretty smoothly from there."
The next stage, however, is "where it gets exciting," Christian says.
"We're building out the Natural Language Processing layer, that's going in very soon. It'll be reading all the posts, pulling out keywords, structuring specific queries and advice built on weighted responses [the community votes up and down on everything], and starting to understand which—and why—is the best advice."
You can see how machine intelligence would work in this scenario; there's a vast amount of data coming in on how humans interrelate—the very stuff AI needs to know. Yes, some pretty intense subjects are discussed. Nothing more gruesome than elsewhere on the Internet, but unlike darker corners of the digital realm, Textpert's users are actually taking the time to give advice, sharing their experience and providing decent solutions. The platform's proprietary scoring structure then goes in and ranks it. Interestingly enough, there does appear to be consensus on what to do when [insert whatever awful relationship drama you can imagine] happens.
"I knew we were onto something when the advice seemed to tally within the community. Plus, I wanted to make something more than just another social network," Christian says.
"Apart from the current big ones, most [other social networks] seem to rise and fall and disappear. It has to have more utility. Why do we continue to fall in love, pair off, have children, get careers? To survive as a species. To pass on collective knowledge, through our DNA, through experience. So then I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if we could store all that knowledge about doing all those things to help people—not just now, but in the future [and] get through life a bit easier?' And that's the utility in Textpert."
So there you have it. When you're lying on that couch in 2028 moaning about why X hasn't returned your intergalactic encoded Valentine video message, and your AI therapist suggests a re-think, it might be because thousands of co-eds in California back in 2016 agreed on a much cooler approach and Ray Christian's sister wrote some way better dialogue.

Media Interviews with Florida Psychic Joseph LoBrutto III
Interview with Joseph Man of God
I spent time with speaker Rev. Joseph LoBrutto. He shares his gift of a direct link to Heaven delivering compassionate messages to heal the soul and we find out how it all began.
The force was always strong with Joseph the "Man of God" when he was just a child of God. He reflects back to his earliest memory of collecting Saints like kids would collect baseball cards. Every Sunday at his church he would use his allowance and buy Saints and post them on his windowsill. Yes, this was not an ordinary hobby but then again this was not an ordinary boy. Ordinary boys don't see dead people. Later in life, Joseph would turn into a channeler, and then a medium and now a healer to those in need thereby making him a saint of sorts to those he has helped.
He had the ability all of his life when spirits used to visit him as a child, but he thought they were regular people. He didn't know the difference until his grandmother passed away. At age 10, he attends her funeral and days later when he enter his bedroom she was sitting on his bed smiling at him, and he then realized he saw ghosts. After, he recalls being so frightened that he slept with the lights on and underneath the covers so he would stop seeing spirits. He realized that the parade of people in and out of his room where ghosts and he wanted them to go away which they eventually did.
The nightmare of every kid that the boogieman under little Joseph's bed did exist eventually went away but started returning in his 20's. So he began channeling spirit guides but it wasn't until later on when his cousin Joey passed away from a heart attack at 34 did Joseph finally take his gift serious. He remembers after Joey's funeral he was driving home and heard Joey's voice and looked over to see him sitting there on the passenger seat begging him to talk to his wife. Because he died very suddenly of a heart-attack, he just wanted to say his final goodbye to the love of his life.
Joseph shares that "being a channel means spirits can merge with me, and their personalities come through to communicate with their loved ones like the movie Ghost with Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze. Referring to his cousin Joey's initial request, "I always say that he wanted to do a "Whoppi" on me to talk to his wife. [Mediumship feels like] It's a conscious thought that moves in, and it's almost like putting on a raincoat. You don't check out of your body, and the spirit does not check in, but we merge."
Joseph reflects, "This is where the title 'Man of God' came into play. I was tapping into The Christ energies of The Masters Jesus and Joshua bringing in spiritual information through that lead me to writing books, producing energy and healing cards, affirmation cds and doing shows." Year's later now fully in his practice, he went to Brazil and met with John of God who told him that he will become a healer. Joseph continues, "I have since met other healers, and now it has become a part of my life. People have been healed from Physical and Emotional Trauma, Cancer and different diseases because it's the work of God through me.

Boca Raton Magazine
Spirit Transfiguration Séance," Boca Raton Magazine South Florida Aug 20th 2013
Approximately 7 p.m. on a recent Sunday, psychic medium Joseph LoBrutto III begins burning sage in a small classroom of the Sunshine Cathedral complex in Fort Lauderdale. The classroom's door is locked, and all of the windows are duct-taped with black plastic tarp, as if preparing for a mild hurricane. Once the evening's event commences, nothing and nobody is supposed to enter the room—nothing living, that is.
LoBrutto, whose genial face is framed by the flowing black mane of a romance novel cover model, has gathered about a dozen paying visitors for a "Spirit Transfiguration Séance," a supernatural performance with roots in Victorian England; it's part of a weekend of events hosted by the Metaphysical Chapel of South Florida. Under the soft glow of a single spotlight in a pitch-black room, LoBrutto is about to enter a trance and allow spirits to physically take shape on his person, througha veil of ectoplasm that he says will appear in front of his face.
LoBrutto has said that, in the past, guests have seen departed loved ones, Native American chiefs, Asian women, Abraham Lincoln—even a tiny baby—transpose themselves in front of LoBrutto. At one event, LoBrutto recalls, 45 people watched him levitate a table 5 inches off the ground.
He tells us we may also see flashes of light, objects materializing out of nowhere (called apports, or gifts from the spirit world) and random knocks on the walls. Needless to say, not every medium can do this. Some will say that no medium can do this; it's one of the more incredulous phenomena in an already incredulous field.
As the spotlight casts LoBrutto's face in a barely perceptive flicker, tonight's event begins with an inexplicable smell: a perfumelike fragrance wafting through the air that LoBrutto says is another common occurrence of spiritual contact.
For the next 35 minutes, backed by a steady musical drone, it looks as if LoBrutto's face is being molded like Play-Doh into an ever-changing Rolodex of visitors, few of them sticking around for more than a second. Guests call out what they see, per LoBrutto's request: "I just saw my father." "I saw my son." "I see a pregnant lady." "I see a Mongolian man."

NBC Written & Video Interview with Joseph
Local Medium says he can talk to the dead; he is ranked as one of the best for his incredible ability to channel spirits.
Joseph can speak to dead grandmothers, just not the ones named Lady Luck
Florida Sun Sentinal September 10, 2013
Don't ask him what slot machine to play, and don't ask him whether it's wise to plunk down an extra $50 on a bet at Mardi Gras Casino.
Psychic medium Joseph LoBrutto III, of Jupiter, says his talents lie elsewhere. LoBrutto, who enjoys being compared to John Edward, will appear 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Hallandale Beach casino.
"Mainly, my gifts lie with connecting deceased loved ones, creating a loving bridge to the departed," he says. "It's not just, 'I feel your grandmother's presence.' It's like, 'Your grandmother from Pennsylvania, the one who died from cancer, is here, and she's very proud of you and her four grandchildren. It's very personal stuff, things you can't just Google."
LoBrutto, 50, has been a full-time psychic medium for about five years. His grandmother and uncles and cousins have practiced for generations.
"We all have psychic abilities," he claims. "But some just have it to extremes." But when it comes to Lady Luck …
"That's not really my forte. I'll be quite honest with them," says LoBrutto, who says this will be his first time working in a casino. "If I could pick lottery numbers, I'd be a rich man right now."
IP Book Review
Medium Channel Interview
Joseph is listed on the site as one of the few "Best Psychic Mediums" He was tested by MediumChannel and was at least 90% accurate in his reading.
How did you get started as a Psychic Medium?
JL: Since I was a child I always had a gift of knowing things and seeing spiritual beings but always denied my gift and hid it from others. My mother was the only one who knew about my abilities and understood what I was going through. Of course I found out years later that I had ancestors that are very gifted psychic intuitive on my mother side.
I have always been interested in the unknown through my childhood and young adult life. I read many books attended classes and the universe directed me to my teachers and mentors who helped me to understand and developed my gifts and informed me that I would be doing the work of a medium.
During the course of my studies I kept a journal about my experience and lessons learned. To make a long story short my journal became a book and when "Is there more to Life than what we know" was published in May 2007 the public had become aware of my psychic and mediumship abilities.
MC: Tell us about your book, who would benefit from reading it?
JL: We go to work to pay our bills, we raise our children, we try to take time for ourselves to enjoy life, but how much time do we take to wonder if there is more to life than what we know? How little time we spend on questions like "Why are we here on earth?" "Is there really a supreme being who created the universe?" "And why is life so hard, isn't there an easier way?"
Everyone is on his or her own journey of life. The people that we meet and the places we visit are all part of a plan to help us grow on our spiritual path. The lesson of life is what we learn everyday and in every way. We are learning new ways to get closer to God. Our loved ones who are with us on earth as well as those who have crossed over are part of the lesson.
This book is an inspiring testimonial of my own spiritual journey in life and my search for truth. Sharing my viewpoints of lessons we should be learning while here on Earth, and discussing our purpose of how we are all connected to the Universal Life Force. My objective is to bring an awareness of wisdom, healing, inspiration and provides a wealth of information that bears evidence there is something larger than us and we are all connected by a communicating vibration. Though descriptive stories, I personally share my experiences channeling with my guides "The Collective." Also I present information from other Spirit Guides to help us understand why we are here and solving some of life's mysteries.
I believe that this book will benefit those who want to experience an incredible adventure traveling the path to enlightenment that will leave them with a feeling of renewed inner peace and well being.
MC: Why do you do this work? What motivates you?
JL: I have felt that in my line of work most people are closed minded in what I do. For years I kept my secret to myself that I talk to dead people. Since coming out and accepting my gift, I realize that I may have been wrong. I have received a tremendous amount of inquiries in my mediumship work. And the wonderful feedback I have received from people who I have helped has been overwhelming. I believe that God directed me in doing this work. To help those who are grieving and need direction in their life. And what motivates me is giving closure to a person who has loss someone and to know that I have made a difference in someone's life.
MC: What type of work do you do in this area like seminars, radio, and teaching?
JL: My favorite thing to do is my Messages from Heaven Galleries. Having a room filled with people and their deceased loved ones join in to make the event a family reunion gives me great satisfaction that I'm the loving bridge that connects everyone together.
Afterwards I'm available for book signings and Q&A with the guest at the show.
The following day after my message gallery I do teach an Intuitive Development workshop, that covers psychic awareness, channeling, mediumship and healing.
My private and phone sessions are just as fulfilling to me. Being able to bring closure in someone life by just giving validating proof that our loved ones are still with us even after death, gives them so much joy in their lives. I also love to hear the excitement in someone's voice when my predictions come true.
The newest calling for me is Radio. I have been a guest on many stations and I caught the radio bug. My show journey of life will feature guest authors, mediums, psychics, healers and paranormal experts from all over the United States.
MC: What is the difference between a psychic and a medium and why do you call yourself a psychic medium.
JL: Psychics use tools such as the Tarot Cards, Runes, and Palmistry. They use their tools for interpretation and their intuition for knowledge of divination. This gives insight into the inquiries past, present and potential future.
Mediums are able to connect with the spirit world by using telepathy. When you have a reading with a medium, you can expect a number of things. First, some mediums do their reading solely for the purpose of connecting to people who have passed away. Mediums are not for fortune telling but are sessions to provide evidence that our loved ones and we survive physical death. Other mediums connect with their spirit guides to help you in our growth as a person.
Psychic Mediums are gifted Psychic and Mediums. Psychic Mediums like myself uses their psychic abilities of telepathy to connect with their guides, your loved ones and your own higher self to bring in information of knowledge and divination. So in a nutshell all mediums are psychic and have the abilities of contacting spirits and telling the future.
MC: What are spirit guides, do you feel that everyone have them?
JL: Spirit Guides are entities that are currently in the spirit realms. These are individuals, or groups of individuals, who have agreed with a person on the earth plane to act as their guide or guardian. Usually we enter into this agreement prior to being born into a physical body with at least one primary guide, called the control.
It is not uncommon to have two or more guides assisting us at a given moment. Many of the guides with which we work are beings who have lived on this earth plane at one time or another (or many lifetimes), but there are guides who are from other worlds as well. Also, many of the "special guides" that come to help us with special needs or learning experiences seem to be more evolved beings, or 'old souls' who are willingly sharing their expertise and expanded knowledge with those of us still working on our path to enlightenment.
MC: When was your first time in channeling your guides?
JL: It was in a channeling class I attended over fifteen years ago that I first channeled my guides. My teacher Marilyn had me sit straight up in my chair and instructed me to clear all of my thoughts; to forget the things I had to do this week and to concentrate on only what she was saying. I was to close my eyes and imagine a secluded, dimly lit room. She then had me visualize a door in the room and asked me what I saw. In my mind's eye, I saw that the room was dark, but I noticed light escaping from under the door and outlining the doorframe. The light that seemed to emanate from the door was a purplish color mixed with blue, an indigo blue. I imagined the door opening and as the rays of light passed through my body, I felt a peaceful, loving, feeling of bliss.
While I was soaking in the love from the light, my ears began to ring like the ringing in your ears on an airplane when it climbs to higher altitudes. I slipped further into a deeper trance, almost falling asleep. The ringing began to fade. Then, it finally happened. It was incredible! As I sat in my chair I felt huge serge of energy through my body. As I went further into a trance, my arms began to rise as if they were floating in water; they were stretched in an outward position yet they still remained in place. My arms did not tire, however. Also, my chest expanded and my shoulders felt large. My breathing became heavy. Who was this entity that merged with me? The entity sat straight up in the chair, as if he were a king, and looked around proudly at everyone in the room. We (I can only describe it as "we"; the entity and I were blended as one) had no voice, just that proud physical appearance. When Marilyn asked the spirit to speak, she welcomed him and asked for a name, but there was nothing, not even a voice. It was just a physical appearance. Still, I was elated. I finally did it – I had become a trance channel!
MC: How do you feel about predictions, and how do you make your predictions for people?
Remember that no psychic can see the future 100% set in stone. If they say that they can they are not telling you the truth. In a psychic reading I'm able to see opportunities and obstacles in your path whether it is in your past, present or future. I will provide insight on paths you may take and the opportunities and obstacles presented to you. If I see another path I will present it to you and it would be you choice to make. So to predict one outcome is not the way the universe works. To present more than one outcome gives us the choice to create our own destiny.
We are on a journey in life and thought is reality, so your thoughts create your own future. Your life is the result of a series of choices presented to you, and the decisions that you make based on those choices. Remember that God gave us "Free Will" and the choice must be ours to make.
MC: What is you best valid psychic experience?
JL: What really set my mind to this was an experience that I had with a psychic, Linda, who worked at a local bookstore. Linda came to me for a reading to connect with her departed loved ones, but for some reason I had a hard time connecting. Instead I was getting other information pertaining to her. I asked her who Allen was and she'd replied that he was her brother, but he was still alive.
I passed the next impression I got on to her: "I'm getting something about running out of time, does this makes sense?" She shook her head no. I asked her if the song; "Wakeup Little Suzy" meant anything. Linda told me that she had no idea what I was talking about. At this point I wanted to give up, thinking that I was making a fool of myself, but I kept on telling her what I was seeing. "I now see you in a Trans Am on the highway, just like the movie Smokey and the Bandit." Again she said "Nope! I don't own a Trans Am and never had one in my life!" She looked frustrated. After that response, I had to stop and apologize to her, but I thanked her for having faith in me.
Well, a couple of days later Linda called and said "Joe, you mentioned my brother Allen and running out of time. Well, my brother Allen passed away this morning. I began to think back when we were kids and we used to tear up the dance floor together and one of our favorite songs was Wakeup Little Suzy." As I expressed sympathy at the death of her brother, Linda praised me on my gift. Neither of us realized at the time that more information from the reading was going to come true.
Linda's children didn't want her driving her old pick up truck up north to her brother's funeral and asked their father, Linda's ex-husband, to loan her his car. When Linda arrived at his house to pick up the car, there in the driveway sat a Pontiac Firebird that looked like a Trans Am. The only thing missing from the car was the Trans Am stickers!
Later, as she was driving north on I- 95 Linda was thinking about calling me about the car and wasn't paying attention to how fast she was driving. A semi-truck in front of her started to slow down and she had to slow down as well. As she decided to go around the truck that was in front of her, another semi pulled up next her and prevented her from passing. As she looked through her review mirror, another truck pulled up behind her, effectively boxing her in. She began to feel nervous, thinking that theses truckers were playing games. As soon as she had an opening she hit the gas to escape the trucks and they all laid down on their horns. This is when Linda noticed a line of state troopers pulling speeders over. Finally, she realized that the truckers were only slowing her down for her own benefit, just like in the movie Smokey and the Bandit. After hearing the events that unfolded with Linda, I decided to accept my psychic abilities.
Medium Channel Review
"My reading with Joseph was like no other mediumistic reading I have had. Joseph structures his readings so that you get the benefit of all of his polished abilities. He proved over and over during the course of my sitting that he was making valid and strong connections to the other side. I believe Joseph is one of the best psychic mediums that I have tested and his abilities are truly amazing." Paolo~Medium Channel.
Joseph calls himself a psychic medium and structures his readings so that you get the benefit of all of his near polished abilities. He proved over and over during the course of my sitting that he was making a strong connection to the there side. He told me about incidents in my life with extreme accuracy. I didn't want to hang up the phone with him. Joseph uses sound vibration to make his connection to spirit. He had me count to tenant say my name a couple of times. Once he made the connection, he spree forth an unbelievable amount of information to me. He brought through my grandmother , great grandmother and grandfather on my dad's side. My jaw dropped when he described in the vision that he was having how I was healed at a young age. I was amazed when he described my mothers experience with a ghost.
The reading with a this medium started a little different than most. Joseph said that he makes a connection through the sound of your voice. Once I counted to ten out loud and said my name three times, we were connected and off and running. Joseph first started my reading by giving details about my personality. He connects with his guides called "The Collective " and they in turn connect to my guides who then all had a conversation about me! They told him everything! After he embarrassed me with all of he details , he told me that he sees me working in a government type office setting, he elaborated by telling me that I properly do work in the computer field, and was properly a designer. That is all correct, I am a contractor working in a government office as a system administrator /webmaster.
Next my grandmother (on my mom side) came through She is always the first to come and talk to me when i do a sitting. Joseph's description of my grandmother was very accurate. He said the connection is from your mother side. He said my great grandmother was a medium and a healer and my mother iso also intuitive as well. This is nothing new I hear this at most of my sittings. He kept mentioning "Hershey's he said this sometimes means Pennsylvania or it could be my grandmothers favorite candy. She is from Pennsylvania and one of my clearest memories of her is when I was young when we went to Hershey Park. Joseph then told me that she was showing him a deck of cards and ask if this mean anything? Card playing was my grandmother favorite past time act.
He went on to tell me ( as 4 other mediums) that my grandmother was here with me quite bit, that she was acting as a guide for me. My great-grandmother (the healer) was also with me. When we started talking about her , he said he saw me as a boy looking at my hands. He said I had some kind of bumps and then he saw an eraser wipe them away and they are just gone! He asked me if this meant anything to me. It did. When I was a boy, I had warts all over my hands and feet. Basically after years if plastic surgeons and doctors trying to remove them with C02 my great grandmother healed me with a potato and some "secret words" The warts disappeared in about a week.
One of the most amazing thing s Joseph picked up was an experience that my mother ( the closet medium) had with an Amish Ghost. He said , "Your grandmother is laughing and pointing at an Amish Women, does this mean anything to you? Yup it sure did, She was referring a time when my mother had seen the ghost of an Amish women in a hotel. It scared her to death! I think its when my mother decided to consciously turn her mediumistic abilities off.


REAL MADRID defender Pepe is set to begin talks over a new deal at the club, according to reports in Spain.
And that may mean France defender Raphael Varane is allowed to leave.
Varane has struggled to get in ahead of Pepe at Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti despite breaking through under Jose Mourinho.
The Chelsea boss has described him as the best young defender in the world and is thought to have tried to lure him to Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United and Manchester City have both also been linked with the 22-year-old.
And reports in France suggest that a new deal for Pepe at the Bernabeu would all but spell the end of Varane's time in Madrid.
The former Lens man has 19 international caps and joined Madrid in 2011.


I have three websites in three different niche. How do I market my three websites so that I get good traffic to my websites? How good is it to hire a marketer?
Well, you would have to promote them individually. I would say create a separate Facebook page for all of those sites. Then you can create content for each page to promote your site. This way, you can have audiences for each niche you have. You can also do this with Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram.
As for hiring a marketer, I think if you have a budget for it, why not? It can certainly take some workload off your hands. And at the same time, a marketer is experienced and can truly promote your sites in ways that you might not be capable of doing.
You can try Fiverr, People Per Hour and oDesk for freelance marketers. They usually have affordable rates and you can choose from a lot of potential freelancers.
- Use SEO to increase your sites visibility in search engines. Build backlinks, etc, etc.
- Submit your site to directories.
- Promote your sites on social bookmarking sites.
- Consistently create quality content and share it often.
- Join those sites where webmasters help promote each others sites and help each other . . .
It might be tiring to create different facebook pages and twitter and Instagram accounts for three different websites. However, I think it will be rewarding because the websites are in three different niche.
Since I don't have a big budget and my websites are not yet earning, I will have to do the marketing myself. If the sites begin to pick up traffic, I may hire someone through Fiverr or upwork.
Yup, that's the downside, it can really be tiring to have to create different Facebook pages and other social media accounts for your three sites. But I think it's necessary to differentiate them from each other. If you can have someone, a friend or loved one, promote the other two sites for you, that might be great.
That's a great idea. When your sites are earning already, you can broaden them or make them bigger by hiring some other people to promote them. You can even hire people to manage the site for you.

The HSK Exam, and others
Resources for Studying Chinese
HSK Level 3 - Writing Section
By Drew Chen, January 20, 2018 in The HSK Exam, and others
Drew Chen 3
I took the HSK LV3 exam this morning.I had a rather strange experience towards the end.
First, I was given a score report (195, 180 was cutoff) right after and told that I passed... is this normal? Is the writing graded by algorithm? Or is the score temporary.
Second, I feel that I missed something in the writing section. My score was really really low, and I feel that I might have missed something. All I had to do with rearrange the characters into a coherent sentence right? Did it matter if I added extra characters to make the sentence make sense?

All I had to do with rearrange the characters into a coherent sentence right? Did it matter if I added extra characters to make the sentence make sense?
I would think that unless specified, you were expected to make the sentence using only what you were given and if you could not make a sensible sentence from the given characters then yes I would say you had missed something and maybe this is why your mark was low.
I have not taken this exam but in others I have taken adding characters was not expected, but I may be wrong in this case.

I had never received a score report right after taking any of the HSK tests, but it's true that now that in many places they're computer-based, and that from level 1 to 3 there's no composition to be corrected by a human being, it's not that strange that you were given the score report so fast. Out of curiosity, where did you take it, in China?
In the writing part of HSK 3 you have to rearrange the words to form a sentence that is grammatically correct by itself, if you added words then your sentence was wrong, and you didn't receive any point for your answer.
Thank you for your feedback Shelley and Geiko. I think your assessment of what went wrong is accurate . I did most of my research regarding the test format online in a haphazard way and maybe should have gotten a real guide or used this forum instead.
Geiko, I took the test here in the US at a local university, and it was computer based. They were nice folks... so I won't say which University in case it wasn't the official process . Also, there was another guy in the room taking the level 1, and he got his results immediately after as well.
Also the pinyin input method was kind of strange. I have been practicing on WeChat and I'm able to string a large number of characters together with ease, but not so with the input interface provided for the exam. Perhaps my pinyin was not 100% accurate, but I eventually figured out what I wanted to write by doing 1 or 2 characters at a time.
I think my ego demands that I give this another try in February.

Since there is a computer-based version of the test, are there any on-line or computer-based mock tests?
It seems unfair that you might practice on paper-based mock tests but then be confused by the format of the computer-based version.
Also, as a Mac user I'm very familiar with the OSX pinyin input method, but have never used the windows equivalent.
Does the test run in a browser or is it a custom program?

I can only speak for the internet-based HSK 4 (but assume it's the same for 3), but the format is the same as the paper based test. Only that instead of seeing a whole page (with several questions) in front of you, you see one question at a time. You are free to browse between all questions of the section you are currently working on. So in the listening part, for example, you may jump to the next question as soon as the current one has been answered, and start reading the answer alternatives before the audio for this question begins (as you would in the paper based test).
It think whatever lack of fairness one could find in the lack of a online test sample ia more than made up for by the benefit of not having to be able to handwrite, btw :p.
As for the pinyin input, I've read somewhere that it is up to each centre to choose. The test I took used the Sogou-input. In any case, all pinyin input programs are similar enough that this is unlikely to be a problem no matter what you're used to. If you want to be sure, you could always contact the center in question and ask them. That way you could familiarize yourself with the system in advance.
The test seemed to run in a custom program, although for all I know it could be running in a browser in full screen mode. I'm curious, why do you wonder about this?

Good point! For HSK 3 paper version do you really need to be able write characters or are the questions only about re-arranging them? Although I was doing some Skritter a while ago, I stopped because I needed to speed up my vocabulary learning. (I can barely write in English with a pen these days!)
Well if it's browser-based then maybe there could be online mock tests somewhere. If it's a custom program then I guess not.
I finally stumbled upon mock computer-based tests for HSK 1-6:
http://mnks.chinesebridge.com.cn/Mnks/Simulate/DefaultNew.aspx
(After clicking on the link there's a login screen that looks like it's waiting for a password, but hitting the blue "我要考试" button takes you in as an anonymous user.)
It appears to be official since the test has the Hanban logo on the top.
At the end it gives you a downloadable report showing which questions you got right and how many marks they are worth. For some reason they don't bother to add up your score for for you.
I''ll attach some screen shots from the Level 3 test I just did. For the last section where you have to "write" (type) the correct character this is ridiculously easy, and I got them all right, but it didn't award me the points. Possibly a character encoding thing?
Update: I sat HSK 3 "internet-based test" in Shanghai today so I wrote up a quick report in the hope that it will be useful to others.
It does seem that the format varies slightly from one test centre to another.
Just dropping in to point out that the link above for the mock tests doesn't work any more.
There is, however, something that looks very similar (same logos and artwork) at http://cnhsk.org/mk ... Registration is required, but free.
Hanban also have mock tests on their own site as well now, and currently they are charging 20 RMB to do them:

Ilaria Caputo was born in 1977 in Palermo, where she still lives and works. She attended the Accademia di Belle Arti in her hometown, from which she obtained a Degree in Sculpture in 2001. Nonetheless, she has never forgotten her passion for drawing and colors, which can be clearly seen right from her early works. Here materials and media are mixed in hybridized compositions, which show Ilaria's strong need to overcome boundaries between different art forms in an ongoing tendency towards harmony. This quest for balance, along with the attempt to describe the inner – and sometimes hidden – elegance of everyday objects, are precisely the recurring themes of her whole artistic production.
Her most recent research focuses on an in-depth study of light. Ilaria, using different materials in the same work, plays with its possibilities. Plexiglas layers, gold and silver leaf, acrylic mirror sheets become both subject and support for her works, which she creates through her bright figurative style. Her exploration of the soul of everything often leads her towards portraiture, which she investigates as if it were a marvelous game of mirrors in which the individuality of the artist merges with the inner self of the model.
Alongside her main production, Ilaria has made drawings, illustrations and tables for Art Volumes. Her works are housed in public and private collections, both in Italy and abroad.

})

This code successfully makes my load-more button work, but it also makes my page jump to the top with each click. Anyone know what might cause this behaviour?

A: I found the problem. I still had another waitOn function with user subscription defined in RouterController, which caused the page to jump upwards cause it went to the loading template for a few nano seconds each time.

A conversation with the Chicago Cubs' chairman about biking in the Windy City.
I'm only on the board of directors for the Cubs, so I spend most of my time around the bike shop. I mean, the Cubs gig is awesome because it matters to the city—the team is a part of our conversation, win or lose. The shop is the same way, because it performs an essential function in the community as a meeting place.
How do you make the time to ride?
I ride mostly in the neighborhood during the week, but I'll join our group rides up north on the weekends. I recently timed my errands and saw that anything less than five minutes away by car is always quicker by bike, so I try to pick up the kids from school with the Burley trailer.
Chicago has a soul-crushing winter. How do you deal with it on the bike?
I've set the cutoff at 15 degrees. Below 15 is just too cold to be on the road, especially if you add the wind. From 15 to 45 I've got a good rotation of clothing, especially to protect my face, and I'll use my 'cross bike and throw on some studded tires to deal with the snow.
I live in Chicago. I hear I can ride my bike to the ballpark and have it valeted.
We wanted Cubs fans to ride to Wrigley, so we improved the valet service and teamed up with SRAM to raise cash for World Bicycle Relief. You can ride your bike and leave a tip that will help send bikes to kids in third-world countries who have to travel long distances just to go to school.
Any lessons make it from the bike shop to the clubhouse?
I got the players a nutritionist. You'd be surprised at the food in a major-league locker room—it's Ho Hos, Twinkies, and Cheetos everywhere. I have customers who would never eat a Ho Ho just so they can pump out a 20-mile-an-hour pace for 40-plus miles. How can some guy who's riding in his spare time be eating better than the shortstop for the Cubs?
That's when I realized our roster is made up of 21-year-old guys. So we did away with the junk, redid the clubhouse kitchen and trained our team cook to work with a nutritionist. It's not mandatory or anything; I just wanted to give them better options.
Are Cubs fans going to get the health-food treatment?
This is a sporting event, so I think we should see some healthier stuff on the menu. We do have bison hot dogs now, which are pretty lean and taste the same as regular hot dogs.
Sushi? We'll never sell sushi. We're a little too Midwestern for that.
FIRST BIKE A hand-me-down Schwinn Krate with a broken crank. It was stolen when I was eight and I thought that meant I'd get a new bike, but we ended up finding it in a ditch a few blocks from the house. I guess the thief didn't want a broken bike either. Now I ride a Specialized S-Works Tarmac, which basically feels like you're riding with little jet packs attached to you.
CUBS WHO RIDE Starting pitcher Ryan Dempster rides to the stadium from his apartment. Manager Lou Piniella also rides 15 miles a day in the off-season, but he spends his time in Arizona and Florida in the winter, so we haven't had the chance to ride together.
THE HEADWINDY CITY We don't have many hills, so the wind is our challenge. If you get frustrated you just have to pretend it's a nice hill ride somewhere out in Washington.


oddlayer - I realize this website has a long way to go, especially in front-end. But I coulldn't do it anymore, It requires time, and time requires money. Well I don't have any of them. So I hope I will return to this project some day in the future. It's still somewhat useabale tho, the back end is absolutaly hugh, that is why It's hard to handle it further ahead.


Ontario has now had close to four years of experience with Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs), which started in the hospital sector and, over the course of the last few years, extended to inter-professional primary care organizations, Community Care Access Centres (CCACs), and Long-Term Care (LTC) Homes.
The QIP is an organization-owned plan that establishes a platform for quality improvement that can be used to harmonize efforts to improve quality of care across the health care system. While most health care sectors are familiar with developing QIPs as a way to express quality goals and targets for their organizations, the sectors are at a different starting points when it comes to developing QIPs. The expectation is for health care organizations to have their QIPs in place, publicly posted, and submitted to HQO by April 1 every year.
To support QIP development and implementation, HQO offers a suite of tools and resources, including: comprehensive analyses, an online portal that streamlines the QIP submission process, and web-based learning opportunities. Visit HQO's Quality Improvement Planning Page for more information.
