Description: Logo for a luxury bowling and entertainment center.
I like this. It definitely has a heavy, retro bowling vibe going on. I could totally see that as a placard on the side of the machine that airs off your sweaty palms.
Thanks guys. I had high hopes for this one, but it looks like I have to go back to the drawing board.
:/ Did your client ask for more gradients/lens flares/3-D type?
%5E LOL. Thankfully no. They're just trying to stay away from the retro look and want something more contemporary.
Thanks Mike and JF. I was going for a more elegant take on bowling signage, which I think took me across that fine line into the classic car zone.
You have very nice attempts on their logo, Jeffrey. Which one was the chosen one?
Thanks guys. I'm working on the second round of concepts now, so I'll post as I make progress.
love your style ... very special !

Oldsmobile Intrigue - седан середнього розміру, який випускався з 1997 по 2002 рік компанією Oldsmobile. Дизайн Intrigue вперше представлений в 1995 році на автомобілі-концепті Oldsmobile Antares, який був представлений у виробничій формі в січні 1996 року на Північноамериканському міжнародному автосалоні. «Інтрига» була першою жертвою в процесі поступового припинення Олдсмобіля.

Oldsmobile Intrigue була представлена 5 травня 1997 року як модель 1998 року. Інтрига замінила Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Автомобіль повинен був конкурувати з японськими автомобілями.
Інтрига була сильно натхненна концепцією Oldsmobile Aurora та концепцією Oldsmobile Antares 1995 року.

Oldsmobile Intrigue була доступна у трьох рівнях виконання: базовий GX, середній рівень GL та високий клас GLS. Всі моделі були оснащені стандартними функціями, такими як потужний V6, антиблокувальні гальма, підвіска на чотири колеса, подвійні передні подушки безпеки та аксесуари з повною потужністю. Оздоблення GL включало в себе 6-ти сторонне сидіння з регульованою потужністю водія, 6-динамічну аудіосистему, фоналі та двозонний автоматичний клімат-контроль. Вершина GLS додала 6-ти сторонне силове переднє пасажирське сидіння, штучне оздоблення салону з дерев'яним зерном, аудіо управління рульовим колесом, шкіряні сидіння, повнофункціональний контроль тяги та шестимовна звукова система Bose.

Всі інтриги були побудовані на заводі GM Fairfax у місті Канзас-Сіті, штат Канзас, де також був побудований Pontiac Grand Prix (Buick Century і Regal, та Chevrolet Impala і Monte Carlo виготовлялись в Ошава, Онтаріо, Канада). Для модельного 1999 року був представлений новий двигун DOHC 3,5 л V6, заснований на Cadillac Northstar V8, який отримав прізвисько "Shortstar". Двигун об'ємом 3,5 л став стандартним для 2000 року, що дало Intrigue найпотужніший стандартний двигун будь-якого автомобіля W-body.

Іншим ексклюзивом став стандартний спідометр на 140 миль/год. З пакетом Autobahn Intrigue оснащений 12-дюймовими передніми гальмовими роторами, будучи першим корпусом 2-го покоління, який включив більші гальма. Для моделей 1998-99 років пакет Autobahn складався з 3,29 диференціального співвідношення проти стандартних шин 3,05, шини H, 12-дюймові передні гальма з керамічними накладками та обмежувач швидкості на 128 миль/год. У 2000 році він був перейменований на Precision Sport Package, який включав все, що входить до пакету Autobahn, за винятком більших 12-дюймових передніх гальмівних роторі в, і додав систему управління точністю (також відому як Контроль стабільності автомобіля (VSC)). Автомобілі видання Intrigue Final 500 Collector's Edition вийшли в унікальній фарбі Dark Cherry Metallic і мали хромовані колеса 17x7,5 дюйма в стилі Aurora.

14 червня 2002 року фінальна Oldsmobile Intrigue зійшла з конвеєра як частина Final 500 Collectors Edition.

Here's what people have said about John:
"I have had the pleasure of attending several events where John has been the key speaker - both in front of 100 people and crowds of thousands. He is truly riveting - his talent is weaving facts, examples and intellectual principles into engaging stories which bring his topics to life for his audiences. Even on the few occasions I've been part of his preparation and know his topics, I still walk away from the main event with pages of notes and invaluable nuggets I can use in my own professional and even personal life."
— Lynn Costlow, Vice President, Client Services and Practice Lead, Change Strategy & Enablement, Lake Shore Associates
"John Coyle is a dynamic speaker and leader. His success as an Olympian may set him apart as a solo achiever but this is not his persona. He has lived a life of teamwork, collaboration, and as 'coached and coach' in intense competition (and all that encompasses). His coaching skills set him apart. John is a knowledgeable and inspirational coach." — Mari Anixter, Managing Editor, Innovation Excellence
"John's presentation on innovation is fantastic. He captured the attention of the 100 or so people in the room. No small accomplishment since he spoke after a long morning of heavy business discussions and lunch. John is personable, easy to relate to and more importantly, he did not present innovation as a theoretical topic. . . My audience was hanging on his every word. I received numerous compliments . . . for bringing in someone who really "gets it." They appreciated his real world examples and . . . they could relate to John as they would a respected coworker. He's definitely a rare find for a key note speaker. One of my team members mentioned a key note speaker he'd heard at a different meeting a few years prior. He said that while the speaker had impressive credentials, they were so impressive that even the C-level leader of the team said he felt he hadn't accomplished anything in comparison and that was all he remembered. John's presentation was the complete opposite. He felt like one of the team, as if he'd been sitting in our meetings for months. That's a rare gift." — Kristen Curley, Enterprise Data Strategy Communications Lead, Allstate
"John's ability to grip an audience, to craft a business story on very human terms, to tie it back to the success of his team's efforts is one of the best I have ever seen." — David Rosen, TIBCO
"Simply put, John is a compelling, engaging speaker. Time and time again, I've witnessed him captivate audiences with his dynamic storytelling. The way in which he blends his diverse and impressive experiences and insights pulls in even the most challenging of audiences. His message is clear and powerful, leaving participants inspired and connected. John's unique and highly effective formula makes him a surefire hit."
— Nicole Lorey, Chief Communications Officer and Vice President, Transamerica Brokerage Group
"You know when you meet John that something big is going to happen. He is able to story tell his way through any topic with entertaining examples that keep you thinking about them the next day and, well, the next week. I witnessed John deliver an innovation presentation at a large industry conference and he captivated the audience with each and every point and had them asking for more and requesting his presence as next year's keynote. If you are looking to bring innovation to your organization or catapult your team's strengths to the next level, John is the man you want to talk to."
— Sara McVey, Vice President Strategic Initiatives, Mather Lifeways
"I had the privilege of bringing John K. Coyle to Gustavus Adolphus College to speak and facilitate a design thinking workshop about resilience. While John's speaking talents are abundant, he shines when sharing his personal story. We can't all be Olympians but John was able to effortlessly weave into his presentation an actionable approach to strengths-based living for us all. John ignited within each of us a newfound sense of clarity and curiosity about how to thrive.
Similarly, John was exceptional in facilitating our design thinking workshop. His deep knowledge and experience combined with a lively and generous spirit to engage participants in prototyping compelling projects to increase student resilience. The number of "light bulb moments" among the participants reinforced John's inimitable gifts." —Meghan Krause, Wellness Director, Gustavus Adolphus College
"I have known John Coyle for over 20 years. He is a world-class individual who engages his audience immediately with science, logic, real-life experience, artistic imagery and sharp wit. His style and message motivates his audience to think in different ways resulting in innovation, effective time-management, and higher life-satisfaction. — William Baxendale, Project Manager, USAA

The Forum for Democratic Change (; FDC), founded on 16 December 2004, is the main opposition party in Uganda. The FDC was founded as an umbrella body called Reform Agenda, mostly for disenchanted former members and followers of President Yoweri Museveni's National Resistance Movement (NRM). Party president Kizza Besigye, formerly a close ally of Museveni, was a presidential candidate in 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016 presidential elections. In November 2012, Mugisha Muntu was elected as President of the FDC until November 2017 when he was defeated by Patrick Oboi Amuriat the current party President until 2022.

FDC has been one of the greatest challengers to the NRM Party in the 2006, 2011, and 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections. Besigye was the party's presidential candidate, taking 37 per cent of the vote against Museveni's 59 per cent. Besigye alleged fraud and rejected the result.

In the general election of 23 February 2006, the party won 37 out of 289 elected seats. In the presidential election on the same date, Besigye won 37.4 per cent of the vote. In the 2011 election, the party performed worse with Besigye getting 26.01 per cent of the vote and the party winning 34 seats.

Background

The origins of the FDC are intertwined with the history of the ruling NRM led by President Museveni. The NRM through its military wing the National Resistance Army (NRA) fought a successful guerrilla war against the governments of Milton Obote and Tito Okello and came to power in Uganda in 1986. During the guerrilla war, Museveni successfully moulded various interest groups into an effective military machine, and on achieving power, he began to build the NRM into a cohesive political organisation. The transition process and the NRM's desire to broaden its political base revealed other interests within the party and a feeling amongst some senior members of being sidelined.

Museveni had relied heavily on the support of the Tutsi refugees and their descendants who had been forced out of Rwanda by the Hutu majority in the 1960s. During the guerrilla war, the NRA had moved from the central district of Luwero to the west of the country where most of the Tutsis had been recruited. On achieving power, Tutsis like Paul Kagame and Fred Gisa Rwigyema were rewarded with powerful positions within the army and government.

The NRA advance on Kampala was very rapid, and during this process, hundreds of new recruits were incorporated into the NRA. Many of these came from Museveni's own tribe, the Banyankole, and other western tribes like the Batoro. When the NRA advanced back into Buganda through the town of Masaka, their ranks were expanded by Baganda, many who travelled from different parts of Buganda to join the guerrillas. For many of these, the common goal was simply to oust the northern-dominated government. There were also those who saw the opportunity to use the NRA to achieve Buganda's ambitions of autonomy.

Splits within the NRM

Another important development was the NRA recruitment of younger impressionable soldiers who often held Museveni in awe. This did not often go down well with the more senior NRA officers:

"He was also clever that he recruited very young and inexperienced people; the kind that would obey him. Many of them were either coming from university or those who had not even been to school".

The younger educated cadres began to gain more influence in the NRM. Many had only joined the war towards its conclusion or had joined as NRM cadres after the war. This rivalry was often vocal and acrimonious:

"Many people have intimidated us, calling us (young people) creepers and sycophants of Museveni".

The young cadres and the Tutsi refugees formed the new power base of the NRM, and the party increasingly appeared tribal. Ugandan politics has been plagued by tribalism, and the young cadres with their new influence often encouraged the appointment of their relatives into key government positions. Most of these cadres were from the south-west of Uganda like Museveni.

This power base was suddenly weakened when the Tutsi refugees led by Fred Rwigema decided to return to Rwanda to fight the government (Habyarimana). The loss of so many key military and political advisers particularly in the intelligence services left Museveni vulnerable. The NRM realised it had to broaden its appeal, first by appeasing the Baganda (Uganda's largest ethnic group) by restoring their king the Kabaka, and recruiting more people from other tribes into the armed forces. The NRM also emphasised its role in restoring law and order to the country and continuously evoked the fear amongst the southern tribes that the brutal northern armies of Obote and Idi Amin could return if the NRM failed. This fear was facilitated by the war in the north waged by the Lords Resistance Army. The NRM also presided over rapid economic growth in the south of Uganda.

With this new confidence, Museveni began to act against those challenging his authority in the NRM. Many of these were the original members of the NRM/NRA, including the army commander Major General Mugisha Muntu and other once powerful NRM leaders. Many of these leaders opted for quiet retirement in their home districts, but others, like Mugisha Muntu and the former NRM spokesperson Winnie Byanyima, began openly criticising Museveni. There appeared, however, to have been little enthusiasm to completely break with the NRM, rather to encourage change from within.

This changed in the elections in 2001 when retired NRA officer Besigye challenged Museveni for the presidency. Besigye was relatively unknown outside the NRM/NRA establishment, but his courage in standing for election attracted support.

Formation of the Forum for Democratic Change

The FDC was formally established in 2004. Besigye had gone into exile in the United States and then South Africa. The genesis of the party, however, was in Uganda where many disgruntled NRM members were actively promoting the establishment of a political organisation to challenge Museveni. This desire was further cemented when Museveni amended the constitution to allow him to stand for a third presidential term. This had angered many NRM veterans who had remained in the NRM waiting to take over when Museveni stood down. The amendment was criticised by some of Museveni's closest allies, like Eriya Kategaya who at the time was seen by many as the number two in the NRM/NRA political hierarchy. This opposition, however, did not bother Museveni who had by now firmly established himself in the NRM.

The FDC benefited from this disquiet, and when Besigye returned to Uganda, he found the FDC had considerable support even within the ranks of the NRM. This factor prompted Museveni to arrest Besigye. Although it was doubtful that Besigye could win an election against Museveni, the fact that he was attracting support from the NRA (now renamed the Uganda People's Defence Force) members brought the spectre of a split in the army. The FDC had many ex-NRA commanders in its ranks, including the former army commander Mugisha Muntu. Another factor was that many of these politicians were from the same region of Uganda as Museveni and, therefore, they could attract support from the president's own backyard.

Besigye's arrest was a political blunder that served to increase the popularity of the FDC. But the party now began to suffer from its success. Many of the prominent ex-NRM members were reluctant to publicly criticise Museveni. Politicians like Eriya Kategaya, who was now in the FDC leadership, were tentative in their approach. A further hindrance was that the government placed enormous restrictions on Besigye's ability to mount a national campaign. The FDC was extremely popular in urban areas like the capital city, Kampala, but with limited campaign time, he could not effectively campaign in rural areas where 70 percent of the population live. The NRM, on the other hand, spent enormous energy campaigning in rural areas and small towns.

The FDC and Besigye were also popular in the north where the population has suffered almost two decades of war between the government and the Lord's Resistance Army. This was despite the fact that the FDC hardly campaigned in this area. This is a reflection of the grievances felt by northern Ugandans who often felt abandoned by the government in Kampala.

Despite these obstacles, the FDC won over 30 percent of the vote, a major achievement for a party that was hardly a year old. The party eclipsed the traditional opposition parties like the Uganda People's Congress and the Democratic Party.

Stagnation

In 2011, the FDC once again led the opposition to Museveni and the NRM in the presidential and parliamentary elections. The party once again failed to overturn Museveni's popularity. The FDC did worse than in 2006. Since the 2011 election, the party has been central in organising street demonstrations - some which have resulted in violent confrontations with the police.

Formation of People's Government
After the 2016 general election, the FDC flag bearer, Dr. Kizza Besigye, contested Electoral Commission results. This was after he was under house arrest for three months he went ahead to swear himself in as the Ugandan People's President in a secret location. He went ahead to create what came to be known as a People's Government with a full cabinet and district leaders. Kampala Lord Mayor Elias Lukwago was appointed Vice President, and a big number of opposition politicians were appointed and currently serve in the People's Government.

FLIR Launches New Firefighting Camera with Ultra-Sharp Thermal Image
February 8, 2015 /in Fire Detection, Fire Fighting Equipment, Fire Security News /by 1st 4 Media
WILSONVILLE, OR – January 18th, 2015 – FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) announces the addition of the new FLIR K55 to its suite of thermal imaging firefighting cameras. The K55 incorporates FLIR's revolutionary Flexible Scene Enhancement (FSX) technology which produces ultra-crisp thermal imagery and is also equipped with on-board video recording, which is ideal for evidence gathering and training purposes. The newest member of FLIR's K-Series family will allow firefighters to see even better in total darkness or in smoke-filled rooms.
The K55 with FSX displays its ultra-sharp 320x 240 pixel thermal images on a large bright 4" LCD display, allowing firefights to navigate safely and make accurate decisions when attacking fires and searching for victims. Image details like edges and corners are enhanced and combined with the original image to create an image with more detail than ever.
The FLIR K55 also has on-board video recording, making it an excellent tool for documenting what happens inside the fire and providing a valuable training aid for later review. The K55 also features onboard image storage for up to 200 thermal JPEGs, which can be reviewed later from the camera's archive or exported via USB for reports.
The K55's intuitive and simple three-button user interface lets the firefighter access all of the camera's controls, even while wearing heavy gloves. Different color modes allow the firefighter to adapt the FLIR K55 to the most demanding situation. The K-Series is also designed to operate in tough operating conditions; it withstands a drop from 2 meters on a concrete floor, is water resistant (IP67), and fully operational up to +260°C / +500°F.
"With the K55, FLIR is continuing to provide innovative and affordable advances in thermal imaging technology for firefighting and public safety applications," said Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR Systems. "This is another example of how our vertical integration, image processing expertise, and commercially developed, military qualified products can make a real difference to first responders around the world."
The K55 is affordable enough for agencies to equip every fire truck with a thermal imaging camera. The new FLIR K55 will be introduced at the Intersec Exhibition in Dubai and is available for purchase through established distribution networks beginning March 1st, 2015. The K55 also comes with FLIR's exclusive warranty covering the full camera for two years and the detector for ten years. Visit www.flir.com/FIRE for more information on the new K55.

As a reward for good behaviour and cooperation, she has been allowed to choose a wardrobe of simple and traditional dresses and eyeglasses. Despite appearing to be 80+ years old, 545-A is in exceptional health, with no weakening of the heart, bones, or respiratory system. And although of average human strength, her senses are noted to be above-average, and she scores a general 115 on a standard IQ test.
SCP-545-A claims to be over 800 years old. This claim has yet to be disproved.
SCP-545-A prefers to be called a number of names and dislikes the SCP designation number. She will respond to "Grannie", "Beatrice", "Ms. Widow", and has taken a liking to Dr. ██████'s nickname for her- "Totenkinder". She displays a generally pleasant personality and enjoys activities such as sewing, cooking and gardening. SCP-545-A often requests conversations and walks outside as well. Despite SCP-545-A's penchant for acting like a kindly older woman, she displays no remorse for her use of SCP-545-B/C.
SCP-545-A also displays a pathological fear of death and an addiction to SCP-545-B, and she complies with Foundation personnel under threat of being deprived of her supply of SCP-545-B. As the only known long-term user of SCP-545-B, 545-A's information is considered invaluable.
SCP-545-B is a colorless, odorless liquid extracted from the body via 545-C and bottled. It is often dubbed "Liquid Life" due to its properties. Under examination, 545-B appears to be slightly more viscous than water, but varies in direct texture and taste. 545-B has no unique properties until ingested.
Drinking SCP-545-B extends the life of the user, slowing the process of aging and often either slowing or completely ridding the body of disease. It may even be used to heal major wounds if drunk quickly enough. Repeated use of SCP-545-B may prolong life indefinitely, but results in a strong dependency upon its properties and many frequent users show borderline sociopathic tendencies in regards to the creation of SCP-545-B. To date, the SCP Foundation keeps a limited supply of SCP-545-B and allows for production only for study of SCP-545-C.
SCP-545-C is a thin, weathered sheet of yellow parchment, in surprisingly good condition; carbon-dating places it to be at least 600 years old. SCP-545-A claims to have copied SCP-545-C from the original document containing SCP-545-C's instructions. For lack of a better term, SCP-545-C contains a recipe in Middle English for extracting and distilling SCP-545-B from the human body. Full contents of SCP-545-C are undisclosed in order to prevent unauthorized personnel from creating SCP-545-B. Key portions include
Ingredients list, including such materials as live leeches, skullcap seeds, chicken fetuses, snake skin, ginger root, mandrake root, lily-of-the-valley-water, spider eggs, and nearly two dozen more items, in varying amounts. The most prominent ingredient appears to be a living human being, preferably a child. Multiple ingredients on this list have been noted to match the ingredients used in instances of SCP-2077
Supplies list, including a boiling pot large enough for a child or other human along with water and many ingredients, and a strainer made from fresh spiderwebs among other things.
Instructions list, detailing rather elaborately the exact amounts of materials and timing needed to successfully create, distill, and bottle SCP-545-B.
SCP-545-A is able to recite and act upon SCP-545-C by heart; the exact mechanisms of the process that creates SCP-545-B are still unidentified.
"Magic" is not an acceptable answer. There has to be some sort of process here that allows for this to happen, it can't just "happen" because "it works."
Dr. ██████
Addendum: SCP-545 was located in a small Midwestern town, under the guise of an elderly woman with mild dementia. The woods her residential neighborhood were located in led to an area near a river that was prone to sinkholes and had a small history of children becoming lost or dying in the woods before. Her neighbors describe her as kind and caring, and had no suspicions that she may be anything more than a lonely, elderly widow with a penchant for giving neighborhood kids small treats in return for collecting their used glass bottles. She was located and captured by [DATA EXPUNGED]
From SCP-545-A's own memory, she has been repeating the same process for quite a while. She buys a small house in a relatively dangerous area and keeps the supplies for SCP-545-C with her, or manages to find and produce them. She collects glass bottles via the neighborhood and over time gains their trust. She describes the process of capturing children for SCP-545-C as being relatively easy. She simply goes for a walk and pretends to be lost, or talks kids into accompanying her home under the promise of food and candy. She admits to doing this at least once every five years or more.
She claims to have been using this process for at least 800 years, but has admitted that even though her aging has slowed to a crawl, it hasn't stopped completely, no matter how much SCP-545-B she produces and ingests.
SCP-545-B is not to be used or distributed even in cases of emergency. Failure to comply will result in termination.

I take a teaspoon of ACV twice a day, morning and evening. I mix it with two packets of Stevia and about 3/4 cup of water. It actually tastes pretty good.
So far (about four months) I haven't even had a twinge of gout. I also watch what I eat and keep the meats to a minimum (about 4 oz per day), no seafood, and no alcohol of any kind. My blood pressure and cholesterol are normal.
My doctor agrees with using ACV and says it's good for helping several maladies. We have a good relationship and he actually listens to his patients, something rare in a doctor nowadays.
A little more info ACV FOR GOUT. . .
Rest assured, ACV is not the only thing I am taking for my gout. I also take Allopurinol daily. I have a good relationship with my doctor and my pharmacist (she's my daughter), and my major in college was biology. I understand the chemistry and the physiology of the prescriptions and supplements I take. Gout is not the only problem I have and I have to be careful about what I take.
Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, said it best, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
I think you can see where im going with this?
A large population-based cohort study involving 81,535 men evaluated the risk of gynecomastia associated with cimetidine, ranitidine, misoprostol, and omeprazole. Overall, 37,202 men received cimetidine. Gynecomastia developed in 86 men treated with cimetidine. The relative risk of gynecomastia during cimetidine treatment compared to a control population not treated with cimetidine was 7.2. Use of daily doses of 1000 mg or more was associated with a relative risk of 43.5.
Luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), serum prolactin, testosterone, and estradiol levels are usually within the normal range in patients who develop gynecomastia or breast tenderness while on cimetidine. However, decreases in serum testosterone and increases in LH and estradiol as well as increases in serum prolactin have been reported on occasion.
In a study involving medical ICU patients requiring invasive blood pressure monitoring for circulatory instability or with a need for repeated arterial blood gas draws, an average decrease of 14 mmHg in systolic and 9 mmHg in diastolic pressure was noted in 74% (50/68) of patients following administration of cimetidine 200 mg IV over 3 minutes. In 13% of patients, systolic pressure decreased by more than 30 mmHg.
Overall, serious hepatotoxicity due to cimetidine is rare. Bridging hepatic necrosis, centrilobular hepatic necrosis, and intrahepatic cholestasis have been noted on biopsy in cases of cimetidine-induced hepatitis. In some cases, liver toxicity has been associated with fever, rash, and eosinophilia, suggesting a hypersensitivity etiology.
Cimetidine-induced hepatitis in a patient with a history of famotidine-induced hepatitis has been reported in at least one case. Extreme caution is recommended when initiating cimetidine therapy in a patient with a history of other H2-antagonist-induced hepatotoxicity.
Elevations in serum creatinine by as much as 20% are reported during cimetidine therapy. Cimetidine is thought to competitively inhibit the secretion of creatinine by the renal proximal tubules resulting in a reduction in creatinine clearance. Creatinine does not appear to affect cimetidine transport, except at very high concentrations.
Godwin, I understand your comments on ACV, and that you suffer from Gout.
But to say that ACV isnt beneficial for gout treatment is close minded.It certainly has worked for me and thousands of other gout sufferers.
If it didnt work for you and Cimetidine worked then that is great. And I am also not saying if ACV didnt work then consider Cimetidine.For an acute sufferer any medicine that helps is great BUT.
But lets look at the side effects.
Psychiatric side effects may accompany other signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity such as unsteadiness, slurred speech, and lethargy. Age, renal dysfunction, and/or liver disease may be predisposing factors in these cases.
Psychiatric side effects have included depression, paranoia, agitation, mania, hallucinations, psychosis, and loss of libido. These side effects may be accompanied by other signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity. Critical illness, advanced age, renal, and/or liver disease appear to be associated with an increased risk for central nervous system toxicity, including psychiatric disturbances.
My dad now 89 fell down stairs and bumped his elbow plus other damage in bed after Hosp couldn't walk hardley move arm cause of gout attack on elbow. First time in his life to have gout. Took acv honey water boom gout gone in 7 days up walking after two serving and felt 100 better. Also recently he got bad flu life treating went to hosp got steroids and antibiotics up and out 4 hrs later acv help s meds work 1000 percent better with acv. Many other benefits also.
That is good news all around.
I would certainly make sure you are cleaning your teeth after every ACV portion as ACV can eat your tooth enamel.
Please keep letting us know of your gout fighting progress.

I should be starting more games says Huddersfield Town left-back Jason Davidson
The Aussie is unhappy about being left out by David Wagner

Jason Davidson believes he should be first-choice left-back at Huddersfield Town.
And the Aussie international says that if he continues to miss out on selection for the starting side, he will seek talks with head coach David Wagner.
Davidson got the nod for Saturday's 3-1 home defeat by Championship leaders Burnley.
But it was only his eighth start and ninth appearance in total in 23 games under the German's control.
In other matches, the 24-year-old has lost out to loan players Ben Chilwell (Leicester City) and James Husband (Middlesbrough).
Davidson had been a regular pick under Chris Powell, who signed him on a three-year deal in the close-season after his departure from West Bromwich Albion.
"It's not a situation I am happy with and if things don't change, we will have to speak to the club in the summer because I came here to play," he told website SBS - The World Game.
"That's why I chose Huddersfield and turned down some other clubs. I am not happy and I think the club know that.
"It's been a bit unjust towards me because I have performed when called upon."
Davidson, who played in to 2014 World Cup finals, continued: "I don't feel it's about the football aspect. It must be about something else.
"That's why my frustration has died down a bit because I know I have done well each time I have played for the new manager.
"I am not angry, I am past that stage, because I know it's not about me and that I should be starting but I am not, for whatever reason.
"Back in January I scored (in the 5-0 win over Charlton Athletic), got an assist (against Reading) and then was dropped for the next match (against Bolton Wanderers).
"When you score a goal and get an assist in the same week and then get dropped, I don't know what more you can do as a left-back.
"Even in losing 3-1 to Burnley I hit the bar and should have got three or four assists but was substituted in the 83rd minute.
"I play one game, get left out for three and then the next time I play I do well. It's been like that.
"If, for whatever reason, I do move on in the summer, I have to make sure that every game I play until the end of the season I play well.
"Hopefully clubs will say 'Okay, even though you didn't play every week, for whatever reason, you always impressed when you did'.
"Sometimes in football, it's a crazy world, and things are out if your hands. For me, this is one of those situations.
"The coach picks the team and he's selecting the team he wants. He's rotating and all I can do is perform when I get the chance."

Knee surgery is one of the most common types of orthopaedic surgery performed at North Downs hospital in Surrey.
There are many joints around your body, all of different types and movement variations. The largest, most complex joint in the body is the knee – meaning it is of upmost importance to take care and maintain healthy knees. They are a very common joint to injure, whether through sport or any other activity that causes strain to the knee.
At North Downs, we treat many knee joint disorders. It may be that non-surgical treatments have been tried and have not improved the condition of the joint and the only suggestion is to then have a surgical procedure.
Pains in your knee can be very uncomfortable and can limit you on what activities you are able to do, even day-to-day tasks such as walking upstairs can be a struggle. For problems such as arthritis, knee replacement (athroplasty) is often the most suitable treatment.
There are two types of surgery – total knee replacement and partial knee replacement – each option will be discussed in depth to determine the most suitable option.
Spraining or tearing your ACL is one of the most common knee injuries and often requires reconstructive surgery.
The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is a strong ligament running diagonally through the knee that joins the thighbone to the shinbone. ACL reconstruction is the procedure of replacing/rebuilding the ACL and stabilising the injured knee.
Commonly referred to as keyhole surgery, knee arthroscopy allows your surgeon to view inside your knee joint using an arthroscope (small camera) to make a diagnostic and move on to the treat whatever the problem may be.
Treatment of your knee joint can often be done during the keyhole surgery (for example tissue repair).
Dislocating your kneecap (patella) can be a very painful experience and can leave you feeling sore and unable to continue day-to-day tasks without feeling pain in your knee. Your kneecap should usually rest in a 'V' shaped groove in the thighbone, which allows movement in the joint.
Dislocation commonly occurs due to a small abnormality in the joint meaning the groove cannot effectively hold the kneecap in place. Knee dislocation can also happen with direct shock to the knee.
Patella instability may only require non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, however surgery may be worth considering if dislocation occurs again to help restore stability in the knee.
Whether you have injured your knee through sport, have arthritis or find any other problems in your knee joint then speak to our experienced surgeons who can give you specialist advice and recommend the most suitable treatment for each individual patient.
We are very proud to be working alongside some excellent orthopaedic consultants who are highly respected in their speciality and come highly recommended by previous patients. All of our consultants go through regular validation to ensure that they work to the highest possible standards and remain up to date with current practice.


As of January 1st, 2016, there will be a legal obligation to report data leaks. Each loss, theft or unauthorized use of personal data is considered a data leak, so it does not only concern large-scale breaches. And that is not all. Whoever leaks data or processes personal data without properly following the letter of the law, is at risk of getting fines up to € 810.000,- or 10% of the annual turnover per violation. What does this mean for your business?
1. What is a data leak?
The law speaks of a data leak when personal data is lost or processed without authorisation. Unauthorised processing is considered to be the altering and/or editing of personal data and unauthorised access to, or issuing of this data. In short: a fairly broad definition. It is not just a data leak when a hacker gains access to personal data. Losing a USB stick in the train or sending a mailing with addresses in the CC field (instead of the BCC field) is also considered to be a data leak. Even the loss of data in a fire in the datacenter when there is no backup available, is legally seen as a data leak.
As a business, you are expected to take the necessary precautions and proper security measures to prevent data leaks. For example by using encryption techniques.
Leaks where other data than personal data is lost or stolen, are not data leaks. When, for example, the source code of your new software is stolen or a list with company names from your relations data base is copied, this law does not apply.
2. When do you need to report a data leak to the supervising authority?
Data in relation to health.
3. When do you need to report a data leak to the affected persons?
The quantitatively severe data leak (see previous question) is usually always considered to be a negative consequence. Therefore quantitatively severe data leaks are always to be reported to the affected persons.
4. When do you not need to report a data leak?
A data leak that meets the criterion listed in question 2, should always be reported to the supervising authority. It does not matter whether the data leak was due to an error or as a result of force majeure.
However, a data leak does not need to be reported to the affected persons if the leaked data is unreadable, like when personal data are encrypted or when you can remotely delete the data from a stolen laptop for example. You do need to be certain that nobody had the opportunity to view that data. You bear the burden of proof for this.
The assessment whether or not a data leak needs to be reported to the supervising authority and/or the affected persons lies with you at all times. However, you can also be reprimanded for making an incorrect assessment.
5. How should you report a data leak?
The supervising authority will provide a standard form with which to report a data leak. This form needs to be filled out in case of a data leak. The form is then stored in a register that is only accessible to the supervising authority. When a fine is placed on the case of the leak, that decision will be made public however. A data leak will be public by default when the affected persons need to be informed.
6. What information on a data leak do you need to retain?
When you report a data leak to the supervising authority, you are expected to keep an overview in your administration. This overview needs to contain the facts and details on the leak. For example the cause of the leak, the kind of data that has been leaked, the moment the leak was discovered and in what way the leak was stopped. When the data leak has been reported to the affected persons, it is important to keep a file of the communications on the leak. You should assume a minimum retention period of a year for the storage of the aforementioned data. It is advisable to discuss this with the editor (see question 8).
7. What are the implications of the law?
Exporting personal data to countries outside of the EU without the proper regulations.
The fine can amount to € 810.000,- or 10% of the annual turnover. Often a warning will be the first course of action, but the supervising authority may decide to fine immediately when there is reason to assume you have acted intentionally or have been grossly negligent.
8. Does a processor need to report data leaks?
In many cases the processing of personal data is outsourced to a third party. The law calls this third party a processor. Data can be accessible for a cloud service provider that runs updates on software, stored at a hosting provider, or be accessible for the marketing company that sends emails on behalf of clients.
A processor does not have to report a data leak to the supervising authority. However, the processor is expected to ensure that their client can make a timely report in case of a data leak. Written agreements need to be made to stipulate in what way the clients will be notified of a data leak by the processor. These agreements can be entered into a processing agreement.
Note; are you a processor and a data leak also contained information on your own client records, you do need to report the leak yourself. In the end, you are responsible for that information.
9. What can you do to prepare for the compulsory notification?
Adopt an internal procedure for handling and reporting data leaks.
Did a data leak occur and do you want a quick and clear overview of what to do to report it? See the decision tree diagram in this link for reporting data leaks.
Are you unsure whether a data leak should be reported or not, do you have question on how to arrange things with third parties or do you require assistance in setting up an internal procedure for reporting a data leak? Please contact ICTRecht on 020-6631941 or info@ictrecht.nl.
In the blog above you have read that you may have to make arrangements with a processor. In case BIT is your data processor, our Service Level Agreements will be updated with a provision on data leaks, starting on January 1st 2016, so you will not need a separate processing agreement with BIT. The issue of confidentiality as addressed in the blog is already part of our SLA's. Finally, we would like to mention that all of BIT's services are ISO 27001 certified, the scope (aka statement of applicability) can be found in our portal.


Matteo Archondis created a trip around the world using just Google Maps screenshots and turning them into a hyperlapse video. With over 3300 screenshots used, he takes us to places such as Venice, London, New York, and Iceland.
After spending two days capturing all the screenshots, Matteo then had to track and stabilize each frame to create the illusion of a timelapse video. An entire week was spent on assembling all the screenshots and smoothing them out, and we couldn't be more grateful. Awesome video.


It's the Wednesday before July 4th weekend and I was sitting at my desk thinking about what I should write about that's not too heavy—you know you're all just thinking burgers, beers, and lounging by a pool right now—when I came across this delightfully obvious article in the HuffPost. Well, I mean, obvious to me….
I've been married for roughly 100 years and was more of a serial monogamist than dater back in the day so I'm not an authority on the subject, but I never had a romantic connection with anyone who didn't read, didn't love discussing books and plays, and wasn't able to tell me in loving detail about the titles that had had the most impact on him. That, of course, applies to most (all?) of my good friends as well, when I think about it.
Personally, I think the way to anyone's heart is not through their stomach but through their book collection. Do you have any stories of meeting cute through books you'd like to share?
1. My spouse and I had quite opposite tastes in reading, so we never, ever discussed books, even though we both read a lot (and so did the kids, thank goodness!).
2. It occurs to me to wonder: are users of a dating app (or dating websites) more likely than other people to be heavy readers…because they stay home reading and need an app in order to have a social life?

Q: Firebase Auth password wrong after signing in with email link I am building an Angular app and using Firebase E-mail Authentication.
This worked perfectly, until I started using the confirm account e-mail link.
Upon signing up, I create the user and then send them a sign in link to their mail.
I tried this, I signed up, got a link, clicked on it, and it signed in all right.
However, once I sign out, it doesn't give let me sign in with my password, saying The password is invalid or the user does not have a password.
I need to reset the password and only then it works.
This is my code:
signup(email: string, password: string, firstname: string, lastname, nickname: string, address: string) {
this.firebaseAuth
  .auth
  .createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
  .then(value => {
    this.u = value.user;
    this.u.updateProfile({ displayName: nickname, photoURL: null });
    this.firebaseAuth.auth.updateCurrentUser(this.u);
    var actionCodeSettings = {
      // URL you want to redirect back to. The domain (www.example.com) for this
      // URL must be whitelisted in the Firebase Console.
      //url: 'http://localhost:4200/finishSignUp',

      // Some error occurred, you can inspect the code: error.code
      // Common errors could be invalid email and invalid or expired OTPs.
    });
}
}

login(email: string, password: string) {
var signed = this.firebaseAuth
  .auth
  .signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
  .then(value => {

    return true;

  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
    return err.message;
  });

return signed;
}

Any ideas what is wrong?

A: Looks like you are confused with email link authentication and confirmation of email address. Both methods send email to your user. In first case you will send a link to your user to log in to your app, think about it as sign in with Google or Facebook, you have no password in this scenario, but instead of sending request to those providers you will send a fresh email every time.
For second case(you try to make this one) you need to create user with email password combination(what you've already done it but instead of sending verification email you send link for email sign in). In action settings set continue url back to your app. And finally when you are back apply oob code(you got it as url parameter).
I modified your code so you'll have an example what to do:
signup(email: string, password: string, firstname: string, lastname,
    nickname: string, address: string) {
 this.firebaseAuth
  .auth
  .createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
  .then(value => {
    this.u = value.user;
    this.u.updateProfile({ displayName: nickname, photoURL: null });
    this.firebaseAuth.auth.updateCurrentUser(this.u);
    var actionCodeSettings = {
      url: 'https://www.example.com/?email=' + this.u.email,
      handleCodeInApp: true,
    };
    this.u.sendEmailVerification(actionCodeSettings);

    console.log('Success!', value);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log('Something went wrong:', err.message);
  });
 }

emailVerfication() {
  this.firebaseAuth.auth.applyActionCode(this.route.snapshot.queryParams.oobCode)
     .then(() => console.log('BINGO!'));
}

Sign in with email/password, email verification docs:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/password-auth
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/passing-state-in-email-actions#passing_statecontinue_url_in_email_actions

A: You have to get the out of band or oobCode and then prompt user to enter a password. Finally, you pass that to .confirmPasswordReset.
firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).then(function () {
    firebase.auth().currentUser.sendEmailVerification();
})

function verifyPassword(oobCode, newPassword, email) {
    firebase.auth().confirmPasswordReset(oobCode, newPassword).then(function (resp) {
        // Password reset has been confirmed and new password updated.
        // TODO: Display a link back to the app, or sign-in the user directly
        // if the page belongs to the same domain as the app:
        firebase.auth().signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, newPassword);
        toast('Password Changed');
    }).catch(function (error) {
        // Error occurred during confirmation. The code might have expired or the
        // password is too weak.
        toast(error.message);
    });
}

A: It is the expected behavior that the account can not be signed in with password. When a user signs in with an email link, there is no password associated with the user account. And this is the main benefit of email link login - users do not need to generate or remember one more password.
For these password-less user accounts, the chance of account being hijacked is reduced since there is no possibility of reusing password or creating simple passwords.

Do you feel like the people you need and want to help ignore you?
You do all this work for them. You built this amazing piece of health tech that makes a real difference in their lives.
And what's more, you're putting out content that you think they should read. Because we are all a little biased when it comes to content we create, this probably means you're a little bit offended that they aren't reading it.
Yet they still ignore you.
If that's the case, there is probably a good reason why, and I have a guess what it is.
You didn't create your content for them.
If your content doesn't help your customer solve a problem, if it's not relentlessly helpful and doesn't offer tremendous value, they don't have any reason to engage with it.
Your story should be in the context of their story.
I get asked a lot "but don't people need and want to hear my story?" The answer is yes...possibly.
However, if you are trying to drive sales, your story should always be told in context of their story. They should always be the hero, your story is merely what equips you to help them reach success and achieve change.
It's not a bad thing to tell your story. But if you're not doing it to help your customers, then you're doing it wrong.
The fix: put your customer at the center.
The simple solution to get people to start paying attention to your content is to put your customer at the center.
If you didn't catch last week's post, a content tree, is the easiest way to do that.
When you know their problem, you can create the message that addresses that problem, how you solve it, and how it makes their lives better.
Beneath that core message, you create three pillars with the 3 pieces of the puzzle, the 3 ways you solve their problem.
Doing it this way keeps your customer at the center of your content...not you or your company.
Show them the promised land.
There's this really great blog post I refer to often that lays out how to create the perfect sales deck. But it's not just for sales. I think everyone can use this same approach to create great marketing content.
Instead of being all gloom and doom and ONLY focusing on their problem, you need to help your customers look to the future. Show them what live looks like when they succeed. Create a really clear picture of the ultimate destination they are trying to reach. And then tell them how you help them get there.
This approach moves you from problem/solution marketing and feature/function marketing to aspirational/transformation marketing. It sets you up as the guide who leads your customers to success.
And you never tell them.
Your job is to make their job easier...and part of that is by telling them exactly what to do.
Every blog post, every video, every piece of content you put out should have a goal and then a call to action that invites them to complete that goal.
For instance, being really transparent here - my goal with this blog post is to drive more downloads of my content tree resource. In this blog post, I talk about the content tree, I talk about putting your customer at the center of your content (by way of the content tree), and I link to a couple other articles that also talk about the content tree.
At the end, I'll call you to action and ask you to download the content tree. The choice is totally up to you - if you think it's worth your time and email address, you'll fill out the form. If you don't, then you won't. But the point is, you are absolutely clear on the choice you needed to make.
Every piece of your content should invite your customers to do something. Download a resource, book a demo, schedule a consult.
If you're not calling them to action and giving them a clear reason why they should act, then they will never know what they are supposed to do.
If customers are ignoring your content, then you aren't doing your job.
The best way to turn this all around is to build your content tree that focuses on your customers problem and how you help them solve it and reach their promised land.
Download your content tree template and worksheet here.
If the Messaging and Content Cheatsheet helped turn around your marketing for 2019, please comment or send me an email whitney@themissionmaven.com. I'd love to hear your story!

The road to Cherrapuji is stunning with pretty little villages and some mysterious looking pine trees on the both side of the road. What is most amazing is that, these tiny little villages had homestays… though very basic ones. But if you are up for a backpack trip, you always find a place to stop whenever you want.
Day 2 – Cherrapunjee is about three and a half hour drive from Shnongdeng and the road is beautiful to say the least! We headed straight to Mawsmai caves which was in Sohra. On the way we stopped to admire the scenic beauty at some spots and The RamKrishna Mission in Sohra is a sight!
Have you guys seen somebody happier about entering a cave?!
The road to Mawsmai cave is a diversion just before you reach the seven sister falls.
Mawsmai cave, happens to be the first show cave in Meghalaya with entrance fees(100/- INR per head + 20/- INR parking) and particular timing(it closes by 5pm). This cave is just one of the 200 caves in this area and a comparatively short one(just 250mts to be precise). The Khasi hills here are partly formed of Limestone and you get to see some magic of this stone in the cave as well.
The cave has been made tourist friendly with a few lights inside and a little bridge at the entrance. However after you cross the bridge and go further in, you get a feel of proper caving. It might turn out to be a little difficult for people on the heavier side and if you are claustrophobic.
After this little adventure we headed to the 'seven sister falls' which was just 5 minutes by car from the cave.
Nohsngithiang Falls or the Seven sister falls is a seven-segmented water fall. The water falls from a height of 315mts and stretches across the width of 70mts, which makes it one of the tallest waterfalls in India. The falls plunges at its full force only during the rainy season, and we were not lucky enough to witness the beauty of it when it is in full swing. However, the Khasi hills is heautiful even without the strings of water.
By the time we reached the falls, it was already lunch time and so we headed to this stunning looking resort named 'The Polo Orchid' just ahead of the seven sister falls. And if you ever travel across this road, this is a must stopover !
After some good lunch with a even better view, we headed to the 'Garden of caves'.
In the midst of a remote, quaint village in Sohra lies the Ka Bri Ki Synrang, the Garden of Caves. There in an entrance fee of 100/-INR per person and 20/-INR for parking.Little did I think that this would be a slice of paradise. Though you get a hint of manmade park with steps and roads… they have tries their best to keep the essence of the waterfalls and flora and fauna alive. The park is surrounded by actual dense forest. You walk into beautiful caves lightened by nothing but the peeping rays of sun, walk down the bamboo ridges to reach those stunning waterfalls falling into crytal clear ponds and end your trek with some 'Um Dawai'(holy water). According to the locals , the name Um Dawai comes from the fact that, this sprout of water coming from an opening inside a rock, helps the local stay in good health.
By the time we finished with garden of caves it was already 4pm. We decided to go back to Shillong and look for a place to stay and on the way we could stop by the Laitlum Canyon. Though trek to the Canyon closes down at 5pm, still we could enjoy the view from a decent height if not the top.
Once we reached the Laitlum, we gauged it required one full day of trek and if you love trekking as much as I do, this trek is worthy enough to make a place in your bucket list!
We reached there just in time to witness the sunset, we found a flat grassy hilltop overlooking the peaceful valley . Not a single soul around but us, as we sat in silence just soaking in the roit of colours in the sky, this sunset will be etched in my memory forever!
We headed to Shillong and looked for a homestay for the night.Being a non tourist season, finding a place to stay for the night was not very difficult.
Day 3 – For as long as I can remember, Shillong has been in my list for the longest time! And I wanted to spend as much time as I could in this happening little place!
Though dead tired from the whole day, we still went out for dinner. We had heard so much about the amazing cafes in here and we couldn't let our laziness get in our way. Our dinner that night was in 'Cafe Shillong' – a small cozy place in the heart of the town with some amazing food is a must visit!
Do not forget to try their sandwich and brownie!
Next day we planned to cover Shillong Peak, Elephant Falls, Sacred Forest, Don Bosco Museum and have dinner by Ward's Lake.
Well rested we started early for the Shillong Peak. In the outskirts of Shillong you need to enter the AirForce Cantt to reach the place. We found the place too commercialized and came out of the place pretty soon.
Just a few minutes drive from Shillong Peak is the Elephant Falls. You need to park your car and walk down an easy trail to reach the beautiful Elephant Falls.
The local Khasis called it Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng Khohsiew or the Three Step waterfalls , for the simple reason that it had three successions. And the whole view is breathtaking. This falls was renamed as the Elephant Falls by the British because once upon a time there was a rock resembling an elephant sitting on the left side of the main falls. This rock was sadly destroyed in an earthquake in the 1890s.
Spending a few minutes near this gorgeous waterfall we headed to the Sacred Forest.
Almost 25kms away from Shillong, it takes almost 45 – 60 minutes to reach Mawphlong. Once you reach the forest, it is a good idea to get hold of a local guide because it is the legends and their stories that make the forest special.
The sacred forest is protected by the management of the Mawphlong village community. The Khasi tribe truly believe that this is the abode of their Gods. Its history dates back to 1000 golden years and some of the trees are more than 1000 years old… The sacred forest has many herbs and medicinal plants that is only found here. There are precious varieties of Rudraksha(a type of seed used for rosary) and some fungi that would glow at night…As the guide gives us a fairy tale picture of the forest I could feel the presence of something really alive and auspicious in there! I guess everyone feels some magical presence in there.
Its an enchanting place you would love to spend more than an hour and a good guide is a must.
After the forest we headed back to the city. Shillong's traffic is a nighmare would be a fair warning to give. As we struggled to move in that horrible traffic I wondered how awful it must be during tourist season. It took us two hours to reach the Don Bosco Museum.
Whenever I visit a place, I don't like missing the chance of visiting the Museum there. And The Don Bosco Museum of Indigenous Cultures is Asia's largest museum of it's kind. More than a reason for me to visit and to top it up, the seven storey hexagonal building has a sky walk that provides a skyline overview of Shillong.
The sky walk is a must go!
The entry to the Museum is 100/-INR per head and extra for photographs, and there is a well arranged parking. The museum has about 16 distinct galleries which speaks volumes about – Introduction and Prehistory, Culture and religion, Ornament and costume, Art and musical instrument, Language etc of the eight sisters of North-eastern region of India. It is a knowledge house if you are really interested in learning.
The museum closes down at 4:30pm and I got to spend only an hour in here, which was far less than one needs. You need good 3 – 4 hours to go through this magnificent knowledge house. And once you enter this place, you understand why Don Bosco Museum is the pride of Shillong, the Northeast and India.
The day ended with some scrumptious food in 'The Bamboo Hut', a restaurant right in the center of the city, overlooking the Ward's Lake.
Day 4 – This was my last day and I did not have the full day in hand as our flight was from Gwahati, early morning the other day. So that meant we had to reach Gwahati today itself!
While coming to Shillong and going round the city I noticed some really beautiful churches around and I wanted to visit one of those before I left this place.
The rest of the day was dedicated to shopping in Shillong. I have a dear friend in Shillong who took me around the place and we shopped our hearts out and all I can say is Shillong has some really amazing stuffs if you are interested in fashion. Also I picked up the unique 'bird's eye chilli' , these tiny little chillies are one of the hottest chillies you will taste. And I did pick up some souvenirs from 'The Khasi Emporium'.
Literally overeating that day, because all my favorite dishes on the place… though I wanted to jump in the bed! We had to leave for Gwahati.
By 5pm we were in Gwahati and had booked a army guest room for the night. We planned to go for a dinner cruise on the Bramhaputra. We had booked a place for two in the 'Alfresco Grand' and it was really good decision! We enjoyed the two hour long cruise with live band, traditional dance and an amazing buffet!
Wow, the pictures are very beautiful and breathtaking.

US stepping up Earth's protection from asteroids, comets
Updated: 4:38 PM PDT Jun 20, 2018
The U.S. government is stepping up efforts to protect the planet from incoming asteroids that could wipe out entire regions or even continents.The National Science and Technology Council released a report Wednesday calling for improved asteroid detection, tracking and deflection. NASA is participating, along with federal emergency, military, White House and other officials.For now, scientists know of no asteroids or comets heading our way. But one could sneak up on us, and that's why the government wants a better plan.NASA's planetary defense officer, Lindley Johnson, said scientists have found 95 percent of all these near-Earth objects measuring one kilometer (two-thirds of a mile) or bigger. But the hunt is still on for the remaining 5 percent and smaller rocks that could still inflict big damage.Altogether, NASA has cataloged 18,310 objects of all sizes. Slightly more than 800 are 460 feet (140 meters) or bigger.There's no quick solution if a space rock is suddenly days, weeks or even months from striking, according to Johnson. But such short notice would give the world time, at least, to evacuate the area it might hit, he said.Ground telescopes are good at picking up asteroids zooming into the inner solar system and approaching from the night side of Earth, Johnson said. What's difficult to detect are rocks that have already zipped past the sun and are heading out of the solar system, approaching from the day side. That's apparently what happened in 2013 when an asteroid about 66 feet (20 meters) in size suddenly appeared and exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, damaging thousands of buildings and causing widespread injuries.An asteroid double or even triple in size exploded over Tunguska, Russia, in 1908, leveling 770 square miles (2,000 square kilometers) of forest. According to the report released Wednesday, casualties could be in the millions if a similar event struck New York City.A giant space rock wiped out the dinosaurs when it smacked into Mexico's Yucatan peninsula some 65 million years ago.Johnson stressed it would take years to attempt to turn away a potential killer asteroid - several years to build a spacecraft then another few years to get it to the target. Ideally, he'd like at least 10 years' advance notice.A mission to defend planet Earth could involve hitting the asteroid or comet with big, fast-moving robotic spacecraft in hopes of changing its path; or worst case, launching a nuclear device not to blow up the asteroid but rather to superheat its surface and blow off enough material to divert it.All that involves current technology, Johnson said."Part of what this action plan is about is to investigate other technologies, techniques for both deflection and disruption of the asteroid," he told reporters.Most of the extra work can be done with existing funds, said Aaron Miles of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy."This is more about figuring out how to use those resources smartly," he said.The bottom line, officials said, is the U.S. government wants to be prepared to decide which action is best if needed.Scientists hope to learn a lot more about asteroids from a pair of missions currently underway. NASA's Osiris-Rex spacecraft will reach the asteroid Bennu later this year and return samples in 2023, and Japan's Hyabusa 2 is closing in on the asteroid Ryugu, with samples to be returned in 2020.Forget about sending astronauts, Hollywood style."It makes a good movie, but we did not see in our study any technique that would require the involvement of astronauts," Johnson told reporters. Missions like this lasting months or years make it difficult if not impossible for humans, given current technology, he noted.

VTA is the largest state theatre association in the country. Its mission is to connect, develop, nuture and advocate for theatre people of all ages, at every level, from every corner of the Commonwealth. We work toward mission through six divisions: College & University, Community Theatre, Professional, Secondary (Middle and High Schools), Technical Theatre, and Theatre for Youth.
One of VTA's highest priorities is the development and encouragement of young theatre creatives. We have a robust internship and VTA Fellows fellowship program, and each year give scholarships to two promising young theatre graduates from high school. We honor one behind-the-scenes student and one theatre performance student, each with a $1,000 scholarship to help them along their way.
According to Forbes, "modern businesses embrace innovation and creativity as central missions, at least at a high level, with leaders expected to serve as imaginative guides." Creativity springs from expression and imagination; it can't be gotten by poring over deal memoranda and balance sheets. Whether or not you're passionate about the arts and arts practioners, if America is to continue in its role as global innovator, we must nurture the next generation of creative, out-of-the box thinkers. With national arts funding through the National Endowment for the Arts in peril, individuals, organizations, and corporate partners must take an active interest in bringing these young artists into full flower as creative contributors to our changing society.
We feel that this scholarship program is unique, in that it values theatre talent and achievement over grades and test scores. We think that we'll be able to reach Virginia's most talented students, who may not match their less artful peers in traditional measures of grades and test scores.
We need $2,000 to fund these two scholarships. If we are successful in funding them, we will expand the program to include two promising college graduates in performance and technical theatre, with a possibility of adding a third with interest in arts administration and leadership.
Your donation will be directed 100% to these two scholarships. If we raise more, we'll give more away. That is a promise.
Even if this campaign is partially funded, we will complete these two commitments through other means. So your donation will go to scholarships for gifted graduates, whether we raise the full amount or not.
We will make sure to tell you all about the students who are awarded VTA Scholarships in November, after our annual conference, when recipients are notified.
For a donation of $50, we will send you a handsome VTA decal. For a donation of $100 or more, we'll send you your choice of one of VTA's fabulous merchandise items, including apparel and accessories.
Please share this campaign with all your friends!
We are so lucky to be able to take advantage of the great tools artsii provides!
And finally, in the words of Mr. Shakespeare, we "can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks."
