My name is Ariti Kaziris. I am 23 years old and like most New York women in their 20's, I am in love with fashion. I love the art of creating designs, the hustle and bustle behind the scenes at a runway show, and everything in between.
I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and am the Events and Member Relations Coordinator for Eventsy. I interned for 2013 Greek American Fashion Week last Fall and was able to witness just what goes into planning and putting together a full on fashion show. I enjoy older styles of art and would live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art if allowed.
I believe fashion is an art in itself, and it stretches way past simply dressing yourself. You are speaking for yourself without words everyday that you get dressed. Fashion is a canvas for your soul, and what better gallery than NYC? New York City is considered one of the fashion capitals of the world and I consider myself very lucky to be in such a wonderful city. We all should! New York is the greatest city in the world. Inspiration is on every corner of every street, especially on our beloved 5th Avenue. I love how fashion can make you feel empowered, and I truly believe that when you feel good you do good.
Getting dressed is something you do everyday, so everyday is an opportunity to present yourself the way you want the world to see you. Fashion in the Young Professionals world is incredibly important. The way you dress not only gives off a vibe of who you are personally, but it gives off a vibe of who you are professionally. I am a firm believer in freedom of expression, but there is a time and place for many trends. The office setting is not always one of them. Now, I'm not saying that we have to all go out and buy Chanel tweed suits for each day of the week to succeed in the corporate world, but I'm sure you get the gist. Althought I do love myself a Chanel ANTHING, looking professional doesn't mean you have to be late on this month's rent. Staying within your budget is very important.
Learning what trends and styles make you feel good is also key, as well as what fits the criteria for your work setting. I am here to provide you insight on fashion in the Young Professional's world, as well as trends outside the office.

Understanding investment terminology – The North Bay Nugget
In his 2001 letter to investors, Warren Buffett wrote, "Bad terminology is the enemy of good thinking."
The asset management industry suffers from this affliction more than most and in particular in the area of responsible investing. Modern responsible investing was first started in the 1970s, and the number of buzz words and acronyms used to describe the space has expanded and changed over the years.
This article is meant to hopefully provide some clarity within this rapidly expanding investment style.
Responsible investing means many things to many people. There is no type of investing that is more personalized to the individual investor's beliefs, world view, and values.
The following is a small sample of the terms that fall within the responsible investing umbrella:
Socially responsible investing (SRI),
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG),
Impact investing,
Fossil fuel-free investing,
Values-based investing,
Sustainable investing, and
Mission-related investing, to name but a few terms.
Discussing what prospective investors mean when they say they want to take a responsible approach is a very important first step.
I have chosen to focus on the difference between SRI, ESG, and impact investing given the limited space I have to work with. Below is a general discussion between these categories, but it is by no means the only way these terms are used.
Simplistically, SRI, is what many investors incorrectly think of when they hear the term responsible investing. SRI started as the umbrella term for all types of responsible investing, but in the modern nomenclature it is generally used as the term for negatively screened portfolios, which is one type of responsible investment.
Values-based investing and fossil fuel-free investing are examples of SRI portfolios. An individual or organization may not want to invest in companies that engage in certain activities, such as weapons manufacturing, alcohol production, or the extraction of fossil fuels, so they are removed from consideration.
ESG investing recognizes that these factors play a material role in the potential risk and return of an investment. Issues like climate change, resource depletion, labour conflicts, health and safety of employees, and executive compensation are examples of issues considered.
Some responsible managers will engage or interact with portfolio holdings to try to elicit a change of the company's behavior on those ESG issues. Engagement is defined as, "The process through which investors use their influence to encourage companies they invest in to improve their management of ESG issues. This may, in turn, improve the companies' financial performance and the long-term performance of investment portfolios."
Impact investments on the other hand are made with the intention of generating social and environmental impact with financial return being second in importance. This may include considering elements of SRI, ESG, or both. These investments combine some of the attractive elements of philanthropy and market investments and allow investors to integrate their values into their investment strategy while still receiving a market return. Foundations and endowments are able to use impact investing to align their holdings with their mandate through mission-related investing in this manner.

Tricuspid valve stenosis is a dysfunction where the valve opening becomes narrowed and restricts the flow of blood between the lower and upper parts of the right side of the heart or between the right ventricle and right atrium. Without treatment, the right atrium can become so large that the flow of blood passing through the narrow tricuspid valve becomes partially blocked. The condition can also cause shrinkage of the right ventricle because of the reduction of blood that enters the right atrium.
This condition is rarely inherited. This valvular abnormality is uncommon but usually occurs in individual suffering from rheumatic heart disease, rheumatic fever, and tricuspid regurgitation. In some cases, the right atrial becomes distended and hypertrophied causing heart failure due to right heart failure without dysfunction of the right ventricle. In some instances, the individual will suffer atrial fibrillation as a result of tricuspid valve stenosis.
The more stenotic the tricuspid valve becomes, the more difficult it is for blood flow into the right ventricle from the right atrium. As a result, pools of blood form in the atrium causing it to enlarge. This occurs when the ventricle restricts the amount of blood causing it to shrink and eventually reduces the heart's ability to pump blood.
Who Is at Risk for Tricuspid Valve Stenosis?
Individuals most at risk of tricuspid valve stenosis or those who contracted rheumatic fever when they were young. In some rare cases, tricuspid valve stenosis is the result of connective tissue disease or a tumor affecting the valve. Only a small percentage of individuals have an inherited condition referred to as congenital tricuspid valve stenosis. The condition is not caused by a virus or bacteria so it cannot be transferred between individuals and is not affected by family history.
What Causes Tricuspid Valve Stenosis?
The dysfunction of the tricuspid valve is due to stenosis is caused by an alteration in the valve that creates an adequate function of the valve's leaflets. Typically, the disease is caused by rheumatic fever and is almost always associated with aortic valve and mitral valve involvement. The tricuspid valve leaflets become chlorotic and thickened which causes them to shorten in size.
At this point, the valve is restricted and hampers the flow of blood into the right ventricle causing problems with the pulmonary vascular system. Some rare cases involve congenital tricuspid stenosis where there is a deformity in the valve leaflets, usually causing a cardiac anomaly.
Most of the symptoms occurring with tricuspid valve stenosis are rarely severe enough that surgical repair or replacement of the valve is required. In some cases, the patient experiences peripheral edema and hepatic congestion.
Accurately diagnosing tricuspid valve stenosis can be difficult. During auscultation, when the doctor is listening to the chest with a stethoscope, tricuspid stenosis is often hard to detect. The malfunctioning valve may produce a soft snap or rumble. Continuous listening might be able to differentiate a murmur that becomes louder and last longer when the legs are raised, a breath is taken, or upon physical exertion.
ECG (electrocardiogram) can reveal an enlargement of the right atrium and hypertrophic of the right ventricle to verify a defect, malformation or stenosis of the valve.
Chest X-Ray can reveal an enlarged right atrium and dilated superior vena cava that usually indicates that the right side of the heart has become enlarged.
Liver Enzymes Test – This test can reveal elevated levels of liver enzymes caused by passive hepatic congestion.
TEE (transesophageal echocardiography) – This test involves inserting a device down the throat to capture images of the heart in action.
Cardiac Catheterization – This procedure is rarely used to diagnose tricuspid valve stenosis. However, the procedure is performed by threading a catheter into the heart from the groin to detect elevated right atrium pressure.
The treatment of the patient will receive for their tricuspid valve stenosis is dependent on the damage that has been caused by the disease and how far it has progressed. The doctor might recommend medical management, surgical management, endocarditis prevention, or another remedy.
Medical Management – The doctor will monitor the disease's progress with routine appointments. The progression of the disease can likely be determined during examinations that are spaced a year apart or less often. The doctor will perform a medical examination and order diagnostic tests at regular intervals. Possibly, the patient will receive one or more prescription medications for treating the symptoms, irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and heart failure.
Surgical Management – The only option of an effective treatment might be a tricuspid valve repair if the diseases severe. The valve might be repairable using an annual plastic ring to manage tricuspid regurgitation or blood].
Endocarditis Prevention – Many individuals who develop tricuspid valve disease also develop endocarditis, a serious infection where the heart valves are significantly damaged and require a replacement or repair through a surgical procedure.
Doctor and Dentist Visits – When visiting a doctor or dentist, individuals with valve disease must carry a card containing essential information about their condition to minimize any dangers associated with a procedure the doctor or dentist might be performing.
Symptoms of an Infection – At the first sign of infection, it is essential to call the doctor to describe general body achiness, sore throats or fevers. Infections could cause significant damage to the heart valve. Fortunately, endocarditis is not caused by the flu or common cold.
Taking Antibiotics – It is essential to take a regimen dose of antibiotics before undergoing any procedure that could cause bleeding. This could include invasive test, dental work, teeth cleaning, or minor and major surgery.
Optimal Dental Hygiene – It is essential to take proper care of the gums and teeth as a way to prevent infections. This requires routine dental visits.
Before taking antibiotics, it is important to talk to the doctor in charge of your new valve or your tricuspid valve stenosis condition. All discussions should include a surgeon or cardiologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating valve diseases.

Origine
Secondo la Historia monasterii S. Severi, tome II, era il figlio maschio secondogenito del duca di Guascogna Guglielmo I (la paternità viene confermata anche dalla Genealogia Comitum Guasconiæ:-Guillelmus-Sancius genuit nobilem Ducem Guasconis Sancius et fratres et sorores eius-) e della moglie, Urraca di Navarra, che, secondo le Europäische Stammtafeln, vol III, pag. 563 (non consultate) era figlia del re di Navarra García I e della seconda moglie Teresa di León, figlia del re di León, Ramiro II e della sua prima moglie Adosinda Gutiérrez.Guglielmo I di Guascogna era il figlio terzogenito del duca di Guascogna Sancho IV e della moglie di cui non si conoscono né il nome né gli ascendenti.

Biografia
Sua madre era al suo secondo matrimonio; in prime nozze aveva sposato il conte di Castiglia, Fernán González (910-970), come ci conferma il documento n° 67 del Cartulario de san Millan de la Cogolla, vol. I, datato novembre 955 (non consultato), che la cita come contessa Urraca (Comite Fredinando Gondessalvez et cometessa domna Urraca), di cui era rimasta vedova.

Sancho fu educato a Pamplona, alla corte di Navarra, presso lo zio, il re di Navarra, Sancho II.Come il padre Guglielmo, Sancho partecipò alla "Reconquista".

Sancho viene citato in due donazioni con la madre Urraca, una nel documento n° II del Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint Jean de Sorde, la seconda nel documento n° 108 del Cartulario de san Millan de la Cogolla, vol. I, datato 992 (non consultato), inerente a una donazione al monastero stesso, dove Urraca è citata come madre del duca di Guascogna, Sancho VI e sorella del re di Navarra, Sancho Garcés Abarca.

Secondo la Historiarum libri tres del monaco e storico francese, Ademaro di Chabannes, suo fratello, Bernardo I, morì, nel 1009, in circostanze sospette, forse per avvelenamento (Bernardo, insidiis muliebribus, maleficis artibus corpore fatescente, vitae privato), senza eredi, e, sempre secondo Ademaro di Chabannes, Sancho gli succedette come Sancho VI di Guacogna (Santius, frater eius, Wasconiæ dux Vasconum extitit).

Data la forte personalità del cugino, il re di Navarra, Sancho III sembra che, la Guascogna fosse in un certo senso succube della Navarra. Comunque il suo regno si distinse per l'evolversi dei legami con la Navarra, che divennero sempre più stretti.Nel 1010 Sancho VI comparve a Saint-Jean d'Angély assieme a Sancho III di Navarra, Guglielmo V di Aquitania e Roberto II di Francia e non certo per rendere omaggio al re di Francia.

Nel 1011, Sancho viene citato, come duca di Guascogna, nel documento della Ex Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis, in cui viene ricordato che la sorella Gersenda tornò in Guascogna, dopo essere stata ripudiata dal marito, il duca di Borgogna Enrico il Grande.

Secondo il documento n° IX della Gallia Christiana tome I, Instrumenta, datato 1022, Sancho fece una donazione.

Nel 1027 incontrò Guglielmo V a Blaye ed insieme scelsero il franco Goffredo come arcivescovo di Bordeaux, che nel frattempo, durante il suo regno era diventata la capitale del ducato.

Sancho VI morì il 4 ottobre 1032 senza eredi maschi e, secondo la Historia monasterii S. Severi, tome II, gli succedette il nipote, Oddone, il figlio di sua sorella Brisca e del duca di Aquitania, Guglielmo V.

Discendenza
Della moglie di Sancho non si conoscono né il nome né gli ascendenti. Sancho dalla moglie ebbe una sola figlia:
 Alaisia, che, secondo le Europäische Stammtafeln, vol III, pag. 817 (non consultate) sposò il conte d'Angoulême, Alduino II († 1032). Questo matrimonio viene ricordato anche da Ademaro di Chabannes. Aloisia a Alduino diede tre figli, tra cui, sempre secondo le Europäische Stammtafeln, vol III, pag. 563 (non consultate), Berengario ( († 1036), che secondo la Historia monasterii S. Severi, tome II, reclamò il ducato di Guascogna contro Oddone.

Fire hits Galveston County Justice Center, Multiple Floors Damaged
Galveston, News
Credit - ABC13
Authorities say that a small fire that broke out in an office cubicle caused water and smoke damage to multiple floors of the Galveston County Justice Center.
The fire took place at around 9.45 p.m. Saturday in a cubicle of the District Clerk's Office on the third floor of the Galveston County Justice Administration Center. Galveston Fire Chief Charles Olsen said that the fire could have been worse if not for the fire suppression system in the building, which is located in the 600 block of 59th Street in Galveston.
The system helped keep the fire under control and kept the damage to a minimum.
According to District Clerk John Kinard, the building will be temporarily closed in view of the damages on several floors of their Justice Center. He, however, did not say as to when the Galveston County Justice Center would be able to resume normal operations. Jury duty is also canceled through the end of the week, Kinard added.

Fire chief Olsen added that they had a hard time locating the exact location of the fire and the existence of the building's fire suppression system somehow kept the fire from spreading.
Arson investigators hinted the possibility of a faulty electrical system as the probable cause of the incident.
A check at the structure by the fire marshals showed significant smoke and water damages on the first three floors of the building. The fourth floor yielded minor smoke damages.
A damage remediation company is assessing the damage to the building to determine the extent of the repairs, said county communications director Zach Davidson.
"We have existing jurors that are scheduled to report later in the week. They are not canceled yet," Kinard said, adding: "The judge of that court will make a determination and we will notify them via text, email or phone call."
Officials started forming a team for the clean-up. However, they have yet to determine how long the facility would remain closed.

Our chefs at Eneko Basque Kitchen & Bar began the year with an exciting culinary adventure, as they joined Eneko Atxa and his team in the Basque Country.
The major refurbishment of One Aldwych posed the ideal opportunity to travel to the region where it all began and get to know the Eneko family inside out.
Head Chef Javi Blanco, accompanied by Sous Chef Jose Jara and Floor Manager Celia de Freitas, spent a week exploring the Basque Country while based at Eneko Atxa's ground-breaking three Michelin-starred restaurant Azurmendi in Larrabetzu near Bilbao.
There they worked alongside Eneko, Head Chef Matteo Manzini and their team, immersing themselves in the spirit and philosophy of this magnificent complex that also includes the Gorka Izagirre winery and Restaurante Eneko.
The trip was certainly fruitful, as Javi, Eneko and Matteo developed new dishes for the re-opening menu at Eneko Basque Kitchen & Bar. In particular, the Txoko concept of having a party around food and celebrating in a casual setting, just like the much-loved Basque social cooking clubs, will launch here soon.
Outside of the kitchen, Javi and Jose toured the spectacular Game of Thrones filming location San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Lekeitio and the charming fishing village of Bermeo, as well as Bilbao's vibrant bars and restaurants.
Head Chef Javi Blanco said: "a memorable moment for me was visiting the family-run factory of Conservas Yurrita. It's the oldest canning and salting company in the Basque Country that produces some of the finest anchovies from the Cantabrian Sea".
Following closely in their footsteps were three of our talented chefs – Robin Kunc, Gugu Mpofu and Lorenzo Corsetti.
The London team assisted in the kitchens of both Azurmendi and Eneko Bilbao, preparing the mise en place for different sections and learning new techniques. Highlights were discovering Eneko Atxa's experimental Jakin laboratory and the Azurmendi green house that represents the Basque landscape.
Staff meals were spent socialising with fellow training chefs from around the world, enjoying fine Basque produce such as local farm chicken, fresh eggs, indulgent cheesecake and Gorka Izagirre Txakoli.
In their leisure time, they were able to visit Bilbao and taste its famed pintxos. On their impressions of Basque food, the chefs said: "it was amazing to see all of the restaurants with counters full of pintxos, made with such pride and attention to flavour".
They added: "We found the Basque people to be proud of their traditions and community, with a real passion for their local produce".
Delving deeper into the gastronomy of the Basque Country was a dream come true for our Eneko team. They can't wait to dazzle you with a Txoko-influenced feast when Eneko Basque Kitchen & Bar re-opens this spring.

One among essentially the most widespread electrical wiring thoughts is on how to wire a change. When working with switches at home is kind of uncomplicated, wiring a single may well not be that effortless for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You'll find various kinds of switches, but for this example, let us say you might be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, a really typical change (plus the most straightforward).
You will find a few shades of wires inside a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and join them to the terminal screws - 1 on top along with the other around the base screw of the swap. The white wire serves to be a resource of uninterrupted energy and is particularly typically related to the gentle coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the eco-friendly wire for the ground screw of one's switch.
These ways would generally be sufficient to generate a normal swap perform with out a trouble. Nonetheless, in case you usually are not self-assured that you simply can execute the task adequately and safely you better let the professionals get it done rather. Following all, you can find a reason why this activity is without doubt one of the most commonly encountered electrical wiring thoughts questioned by many people.
For many motive, the way to wire a ceiling fan can also be considered one of one of the most common electrical wiring questions. To simplify this endeavor, you can utilize one switch for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the fan, it can be merely a matter of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan on the black wire of your change. When there is a light, the blue wire needs to be connected into the black wire with the swap in addition.
You will find factors why these are typically the most typically requested electrical wiring questions. One particular, lots of believe it really is very simple to accomplish, and two, they are the widespread electrical jobs in your own home. But then you must not place your security at risk within your purpose to save money.

Q: Define glDebugMessageCallbackARB callback method Im using glew to use openGL extensions. I am trying to use GL_ARB_debug_output extension.
I added the flag WGL_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB while context creation, so context created with debug support.
While trying to define callback method for glDebugMessageCallbackARB i found the following function from a blog
void CALLBACK DebugCallback(unsigned int source, unsigned int type,
                            unsigned int id, unsigned int severity,
                            int length, const char* message, void* userParam);

but when add the line
glDebugMessageCallbackARB(&DebugCallback, NULL);

the following error is generated
cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void (__stdcall *)(unsigned int,unsigned int,unsigned int,unsigned int,int,const char *,void *)' to 'GLDEBUGPROCARB'

Can any one help me to understand this error so that i can resolve.

A: From the official OpenGL header:
typedef void (APIENTRY *GLDEBUGPROCARB)(
    GLenum source, GLenum type, GLuint id, GLenum severity, GLsizei length,
    const GLchar *message, const void *userParam);

So the last argument needs to be const void* instead of the void* you tried. The rest of the arguments might be ok depending on how the GL types are defined on your platform. But it would be much safer to use the GL types in your function declaration.
Note that a core version of this was added in OpenGL 4.3. If you have 4.3 available, you can use glDebugMessageCallback() instead of glDebugMessageCallbackARB(). The corresponding callback declaration looks the same in the header:
typedef void (APIENTRY *GLDEBUGPROC)(
    GLenum source, GLenum type, GLuint id, GLenum severity, GLsizei length,
    const GLchar *message, const void *userParam);

There was no const for userParam in the 4.3 spec document, but the const was added in the 4.4 and 4.5 spec. From the change log in the 4.4 spec:

Add const attribute to userParam argument of DebugMessageCallback and DEBUGPROC in section 20.2.

A: I somehow found out that GLDEBUGPROCARB is prototyped as:
typedef GLvoid (APIENTRY *GLDEBUGPROCARB)(GLenum source, GLenum type,
   GLuint id, GLenum severity, GLsizei length,
   const GLchar* message, GLvoid* userParam);

And therefore, your DebugCallback must of this prototype.

As a junior or sophomore, you may be looking to the seniors of your high school as they apply for college, anxiously wondering how you can get a headstart. Many students believe that the only way to truly be active about applying to college is to work through applications and wait for a decision, both of which traditionally occur during senior year.
However, there are different ways to prepare for college applications during junior or even sophomore year. So, what can you do? Here's where to start.
A common mistake among students is to wait until senior year to begin hunting for schools. To avoid scrambling last minute for your favorite picks, start your search early by first deciding upon the criteria that you and your family will consider as you look for colleges. Would you be happier at a small liberal arts college or a large public university? How much does financial aid figure into your college choices? Would you prefer a school that is close to your parents or anywhere in the nation–or maybe the rest of the world?
All of these are examples of criteria that will be important in figuring out how to narrow down a cohesive school list. Once you have a more comprehensive list of criteria, consider visiting your school's guidance counseling center for any college brochures or information on university visits to your high school.
You may also begin your college search online, and as you search, be sure to jot down any schools that sound like a good fit for you. Try to begin categorizing these schools based on how high or low their acceptance rates are–this will ensure that you have a realistic list of schools to apply to.
College visits are important to the process of discovering which colleges would be "good fits"–or feel right–to you. When you visit a college, you will be able to find out whether the environment feels inviting for you, or whether the atmosphere gives you the sense that you could belong or be happy there.
To avoid cramming in your college visits during your busy senior year, consider visiting colleges early, namely the ones you've already done research on and jotted down. Besides meeting your criteria, these schools must also feel like places you would like to call home for four years. You might also be able to discover more specific information about the schools while there, and you can get an additional sense of what the surrounding area is like.
It is important that you communicate with your parents during this time. By discussing colleges and your future with them, you can gain more insight into what type of college might be right for you, or what kinds of qualities and constraints you must consider during your college search.
When applying to colleges, you will need to submit a recommendation letter from your guidance counselor and seek advice from him/her. It is important to get to know your counselor to ensure that your college application process runs smoothly and so that your recommendation letter is not just a bland page; after all, how will your counselor write you a strong, personalized letter if you spend four years at school without meeting him/her?
Start by visiting your guidance counselor to ask advice whenever you might need; for example, maybe you're considering two different academic schedules and want to hear a second (and more professional) opinion about which path might be better for you. Maybe you want to talk to him/her to know what kinds of extracurriculars the school has to offer, or for tips on how to start getting ready for the college applications process.
Aside from these more academic topics, you might find that you begin to develop a close bond with your counselor. If you and counselor click, you might stop by just to share your latest academic successes or even interesting stories about your life. Don't be afraid to let your counselor become your friend.
Junior year is the last year to make a big impact on your admissions profile before college applications. Learn how we can help you build up your profile to meet your college goals.
Many high schools use some kind of online system, like parchment.com, to keep track of your official grades, so be sure you know how to navigate this system and request an official transcript (bonus points if you check in with your guidance counselor on this). Be sure to keep up your grades as you enter your junior and senior years, as these notoriously tend be times when students begin to let their grades slip.
Talk to your parents about any legal documentation that you're not sure about, and be sure to find out where you can locate them if need be. For your Photo ID, you may need something like a passport picture or a driver's license to officially identify yourself.
Note that these documents typically have to be submitted directly from the testing center in order to be official. Most testing agencies will allow you to submit a limited number of score reports for free directly after you have taken a test; for example, the College Board gives you the opportunity to send four free SAT score reports to four colleges of your choice. Of course, this option may not be your best choice if you do not feel confident in your test scores, but it is available for you.
Remember the last time you got a shot? Your medical records are important to submit to so that colleges can ensure you are up to date with any required shots, vaccinations, and other required procedures before you attend their institution.
During class, make sure that you maintain all the qualities of a hardworking, inquisitive student–raise your hand when you know the answer to a problem, don't hold back in asking any curious questions you might have, and keep engaged in the class. Make sure to further maintain a good relationship with your teacher and a status as a responsible and kind student by turning your assignments in on time, cooperating and contributing in a group, and working to help other students when possible.
Also, keep a mental note of your actions in class, especially anything remarkable or difficult that you do; when teachers write recommendation letters, they could use specific ideas you provide them as springboards for a personalized, strong letter. It would be in your best interest to begin asking for college recommendation letters as early as the end of junior year, though keep in mind that you will have more teachers who you might love in your senior year.
By around your junior year, you should aim to have your core extracurricular activities established, only keeping your favorite ones and ridding yourself of any that you didn't enjoy as much. At this point, it is important to maintain robust involvement in your favorite clubs and to begin pursuing leadership positions that will allow you to improve the club for the future and take an active role that will catch admissions officers' eyes.
Also make sure to establish a rapport with the club's leaders, actively communicating with them and attending the club's activities. Be sure to interact with the club's members as well and allow friendships to develop naturally.
Your junior year classes should be some of the most challenging courses you take during your time in high school. Junior year is when many students have finished their school's core class requirements and can begin pursuing a specific subject more deeply or simply take more advanced courses in a variety of areas. Make sure you choose challenging courses that will allow college admissions officers to see you are willing to work hard and are taking initiative in furthering your education.
Of course, it is not enough to choose challenging courses and fail them, so be sure to maintain solid grades in your classes. Know yourself–do not overload yourself with difficult courses that you think will impress colleges if you know that the workload will be overwhelmingly difficult for you to manage. You do not want to find yourself losing sleep and hardly passing your classes! Be sure to be reasonable, both for your own sake and for the sake of your college applications. Colleges like to see an upward trend in your grades or, at the very least, some kind of stability in your grades.
As a junior or a sophomore, you won't know for sure what essay prompts you will have to answer when you complete your college applications. Even the Common Application essays change every four years, so you may not have an idea of what questions will come out during your specific year. Nonetheless, even without specific prompts to look at, you can be sure of one thing in these essays: that schools will want to know all about you. What qualities and experiences make up your identity? What major(s) do you want to pursue and why? How have you exhibited growth over time, from childhood to adulthood?
Start thinking about these questions and jotting down notable ideas that pop in your head. As you go through your underclassman years, make a mental note of your biggest passions and why you love them. If you love swimming, for example, perhaps you participated in an exchange of sportsmanship during a particular meet that resulted in a continuing friendship.
Of course, colleges will also want to know why you've chosen their particular institution and how you would contribute or fit in there, so do some research on the schools you're interested in. Find out about school traditions and compare them to your own, or maybe think about the opportunities available to you and how they tie in with your own interests. These are just some ideas to get you started, but the possibilities are endless.
The above tips are just ways to get started in thinking about the college applications process. So, as a sophomore or junior, there is no need to feel helpless or sit idly by as the seniors around you scramble to finish what you'll be working on in but a year or two. By the time your own senior year rolls around, you'll be ready to tackle whatever comes your way–and with sleep to spare.

TV personality Russell Ong shares his travel essentials
Dewi Nurjuwita
Russell Ong is a familiar face you may have seen on your television screens. Once a national swimmer who has won medals in the Southeast Asian Games, Ong has ventured into showbiz since making his debut in Channel 5 drama Lion Mums. The TV personality then hosted Luxe Asia 4, a television program showcasing some of Asia's costliest destinations as well as the lifestyles of the region's rich and famous.
As a host, he has indulged in ultra-luxurious travel experiences — namely getting onboard the new Train Suite Shiki-Shima in Japan (which can cost up to S$14,000), diving in a private ocean in the Maldives, and exploring exotic destinations such as the hills of Moganshan in China.

Besides travelling for work, Ong has also visited cities such as Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Prague — so he is definitely a seasoned traveller. We caught up with the TV personality last month and picked his brains on how to travel light, as well as his travel essentials.
Lifestyle Asia (LSA): How often do you travel?
Russell Ong (RO): "I'm currently splitting my time between Singapore and Shanghai, where I co-founded a Shanghai-based tech startup — so I travel about two to three weeks every month. This is especially so when I was filming for Luxe Asia 4, where I travelled to some of the most luxurious destinations in Asia"
LSA: What's your go-to carry-on that you'll take on every trip?
RO: "My classic Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 45 is very versatile and can last a long time. I take it with me whenever I go on short trips."
LSA: What are the items you need when you travel?
RO: "The first thing I need is a good quality watch that will complement every occasion, whether I'm in a business suit for meetings or a kicking-back in a t-shirt and khakis while on holiday."
"Secondly, a fragrance that represents you is essential. Personally, I like scents that are fruity but also manly. A cologne should be a subtle one that doesn't immediately register — people should smell it subconsciously. Some of my favourites are Dior Sauvage and Versace Eros"
"Lastly, a pair of premium sunglasses. I like my lenses handcrafted and well made, as your sunglasses are on your face and it's one of the first things people will see. I love the California-based Oliver Peoples, as well as Dita — which offers edgy designer eyewear handcrafted in Japan.

LSA: What are your tips for packing light?
RO: "I don't overthink packing. I usually am able to pack without thinking of what to bring, because I have a list of essentials that I always take with me — such as my work laptop and financial materials. I just take the bare minimum. Whatever else I can buy there, such as extra clothes or toiletries, I wouldn't worry about it. I think it takes the stress out of travelling for me."
"And as shallow as it sounds, I care about how I look. People judge you based on first impressions, after all. So I try to bring things that are versatile, that I can use for many occasions. For example, I'll have my loafers that I can use for a meeting but won't look out of place in a club."
LSA: What are your must-have apps when you travel?
RO: "WeChat is one. The people in Shanghai don't use Whatsapp, so I needed to download WeChat for work. It's so advanced here (in Shanghai) that you can do everything through WeChat. Just the other day, I was walking when someone was selling roses that you can buy using a QR code. It's amazing. In fact, people don't even use business cards in Shanghai, we just exchange QR codes."
"And then there's Giddy, the Chinese version of Uber."
"Lastly, Spotify. I really need music when I travel. Whenever I'm on a flight, I don't watch movies or tune in to the airlines' music selection. So I always need Spotify with me when I travel. I'm subscribed to Spotify Premium so I can just plug my Apple Earpods in and listen to my own playlists on the plane or when I'm working out in the gym."
LSA: What are you currently listening to, then?
"I like mellow remixes of current hits or relaxed lounge music. I'm currently listening to the Chill Hits playlist on Spotify, which helps me calm down when I'm winding down after work or events."

Q: WiX: Database uninstall I have completed a WiX 3.9 project, with one hiccup...
It is able to:
-- skip the EULA
-- ask the user for the database string
  -- save it in a RegKey
-- install files in the inetpub\wwwroot folder (defined by the client)
-- creates an AppPool
-- creates an IIS
-- creates a database
  -- runs a script to remove the database, if it already exists
  -- runs a script to create the entire database (tables and contents, necessary user)
However, during uninstall, everything is removed but the database does not drop.
I tested the script to drop the database by running it before the database is created.  It works.  I cannot get it to run at uninstall.
Here is my wix sql:SqlDatabase tag:
    <!-- - - - - DB/SQL Script - - - - -->
    <sql:SqlDatabase Id="CreateBingoServer" Server="[SERVERNAME]" Database="BingoServer" CreateOnInstall="yes" DropOnUninstall="yes" ContinueOnError="no" >

      <!-- Pre-Drop on Create -->
      <sql:SqlScript Id="PreDrop" BinaryKey="Drop" ExecuteOnInstall="yes" Sequence="1" ContinueOnError="yes" />
      <!-- Create on Install -->
      <sql:SqlScript Id="Script" BinaryKey="Database" ExecuteOnInstall="yes" Sequence="2" ContinueOnError="no" />
      <!-- Drop on Uninstall -->
      <sql:SqlScript Id="Drop" BinaryKey="Drop" ExecuteOnUninstall="yes" Sequence="1" ContinueOnError="no" />
      <!-- -->

    </sql:SqlDatabase>

For Drop, I have tried 'ExecuteOnUninstall' and 'RollbackOnUninstall'.
I have also tried:
      <sql:SqlScript Id="Drop" BinaryKey="Drop" ExecuteOnUninstall="yes" Sequence="1" ContinueOnError="no" SqlDb="CreateBingoServer" />

(outside the sql:SqlDatabase tag) and that does not run.  I have changed the 'Sequence' from 1 - 9; no change.
The verbose log shows the database is not found but SERVERNAME = "proper string from RegKey/installer input"
MSI (s) (8C:8C) [11:51:49:620]: APPCOMPAT: looking for appcompat database entry with ProductCode '{Some random GUID}'.
MSI (s) (8C:8C) [11:51:49:620]: APPCOMPAT: no matching ProductCode found in database.
...
MSI (s) (8C:8C) [11:51:49:888]: Component: Database; Installed: Local;   Request: Absent;   Action: Null
Any ideas?
Thank you, in advance.

A: FWIW, I don't recommend running SQL scripts during uninstall.  Nothing worse then can't uninstall something because some SQL dependency is throwing an error.  Besides, it's user data.... just leave it.
I also don't like the IF EXIST DROP THEN CREATE pattern because you can lose user data.


Southern Baptists should respond to the Ebola crisis in West Africa with the same urgency expended during natural disasters at home and abroad, James Graham, pastor of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Herndon, Va., told Baptist Press.
Southern Baptists have been known for years for our "ability to respond to disasters, whether it's a hurricane disaster, tornadoes in Alabama, or those other things that have taken place across this country," Graham said. "So now is a good time for Southern Baptists to also be responsive to this crisis."
The Ebola crisis "is real," he said. "It should be treated in its own uniqueness, but with as much urgency as Southern Baptists would treat it if it was a crisis right here in the United States."
Sunday, Oct. 12, the first case of Ebola contracted in the U.S. was confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A Dallas nurse identified as Nina Pham contracted Ebola while caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, who caught the virus in Liberia but was diagnosed and treated in the U.S. Duncan died Oct. 8 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
More cases are likely in the U.S., the CDC said, because a breach in safety measures evidently occurred at the hospital during Duncan's treatment, and Pham may have exposed a close friend, as well as a dog. The CDC is investigating how the virus spreads among animals.
Members of Lincoln Brownell's Go Ye Ministries, a ministry partner of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Herndon, Va., are shown distributing Clorox, gloves and buckets to residents of the African village of Sarpawean, Liberia. The items will help the residents sanitize their homes against the Ebola virus.
"Unfortunately, it is possible that during the coming days we will see additional cases of Ebola," CDC Director Tom Frieden said at a press conference. Those who came in contact with Duncan before he was hospitalized, 48 people, are still being monitored or kept in isolation.
Meanwhile Mount Pleasant, a multi-ethnic 2,800-member Southern Baptist congregation with immigrants from about 25 countries, has been responding to the crisis through long-standing ministry partners and the Virginia congregation's church plants in Sierra Leone and Liberia. The church maintains active partnerships in several other African countries and has worked closely with the North American Mission Board and the International Mission Board on numerous projects.
"We started helping [ministry partners] as soon as we were notified of the crisis," Graham said. Working with pastors in Sierra Leone and Liberia, Mount Pleasant has sent money to purchase and distribute disinfectant kits there, and to disseminate information on avoiding and responding to the virus. Mount Pleasant is collecting nonperishable items to send to the countries in November.
"Those are the two places we've been focusing on and distributing primarily disinfectant kits, that is essentially Clorox, buckets and rubber gloves," he said, "and then doing information sessions with the people there in churches concerning the necessity of exercising good hygienic practices -- washing their hands, [and] sterilizing and cleaning their floors, eating utensils and that type of stuff."
The church has a long-standing ministry to install water wells in developing countries, and will continue those efforts in the communities of Bo and Lungi, Sierra Leone.
"To get them the disinfectant kits and they don't have the water to use with them doesn't do a lot of good," he said. "So, we're going to continue to push in that direction."
At least one of Mount Pleasant's ministry partners has died from Ebola. Napoleon Bathbaite, pastor of Peaceful Baptist Church, which Mount Pleasant planted in Liberia, died from the virus. He had worked in a medical clinic where Ebola patients were being treated.
While Mount Pleasant's own membership includes first-, second- and third-generation immigrants from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria, no blood relatives of Mount Pleasant's members have reportedly died from the virus, Graham said. Yet, certain cultures in Africa hold village members as dear as they would direct kin.
"It's that culture, where village people become associated with each other and they actually believe they're related, even though they might not be blood related," he said. "We have not gotten any notification of immediate or blood family members of any of our congregants being infected by it so far."
Mount Pleasant has ministered to its own congregants during the crisis, educating them about the virus and providing hope and encouragement.
"There are so many Liberians that are a part of our congregation that we have had people that have returned from Liberia subsequent to the outbreak and folks that have gone and returned," Graham said. "And so we want to make sure that our people know [there's] no need to be alarmed. And then we try to share with them what we're doing, as far as our strategy, for providing emergency disaster relief to the people that are in need there in West Africa."
The church's association, NorthStar Church Network, will host at its Oct. 18 meeting a webcam address by Mount Pleasant Liberian ministry partner Lincoln Brownell, who will provide an update on the Ebola crisis and ministry outreach in the affected areas. Brownell is former president of Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary and current leader of Go Ye Ministries in Liberia.
"Out of that experience we're hoping that our association will rally towards trying to do something to try to get things done. There are other churches in our association that have begun to send resources over there as well."
Already, Baptists in Texas are preparing to send food and medical supplies to Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Mount Pleasant's members remain hopeful, Graham said.
"It's all sorts of emotions there. But for the most part [they're] prayerful and hopeful," Graham said. "We are people of faith. That's what we believe and they of course want to do everything they can to try to be as helpful as we can and to ensure that the help gets to the people that need it."
The current viral epidemic has killed more than 4,000 in three African nations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and if unabated, could infect up to 1.4 million people by January, 2015.


By this time the idea of being pregnant has finally settled in. If you look at the pregnancy calendar you will know that you are now in the final month of the first trimester. There are only two more trimesters to go. The baby has also grown to be now three-quarters of an inch long. Its arms are growing and there is some movement like bending of the arms or elbows. Toes, ears and eyelids are beginning to form.
Though you cannot feel any movement from the bay yet, it has begun to move. If it is in the right position in the uterus it may be possible to detect its heartbeat using a handheld Doppler. However this depends on the baby's position in the uterus.
By the start of the third month of pregnancy your baby has started to move a tiny bit. This movement manifests in the movement of bending its tiny arms.
The baby is growing rapidly. The furious rate of cells rearrangement has slowed down. The time is coming when it no longer need the yolk sac to provide blood cells. This is because now its bone marrow spleen and liver are starting to function and take on this task. Can you imagine that the liver is now secreting bile and its pancreas producing insulin?
Your heart beats at 65-75 beats per minute. However, the baby's heart beats at 160-170 beats per minute (the fastest a normal human heart can beat). You could only achieve this by a furious run or cardiac activity. The baby is approaching an inch in length and this will double by the end of the month.
Can you visualize your baby? Its arms have grown longer and the legs have lengthened. The fingers and toes are getting defined. The head has begun to get rounded. The neck appears to be developing. The ears continue getting more defined and the nose is defined by a growing tip. Now the baby has tubes from the lungs to the throat.
It is in the heart where the most important developments seem to be happening. There are four chambers now and the valves which will pump blood are forming. It may still take a week or two for the heartbeat to be discernible.
How is the baby getting its nutrients? These are provided through the umbilical cord. This umbilical cord has three spiraling vessels made up by one vein and two arteries. The vein carries oxygenated blood to the heart and the other two arteries carry back the blood to the placenta. The umbilical cord continues to mature and gain in strength so as to provide all the baby's needs so it can grow and mature.
don't get me wrong, there are no computer virus problems, and the site obviously is full of interesting information. However, to read said information is very easy on any browser. Well, I am not pregnant but I recommend this website to pregnant or going to pregnant ladies.

'Bar Rescue' Star Jon Taffer Gets Shut Down By Three Dots and a Dash's Paul McGee
Jon Taffer (left) and Paul McGee
I get frequent pitches from the publicists behind Jon Taffer—the acerbic host of Spike TV's "Bar Rescue"—who push him as "an internationally recognized, award-winning hospitality expert, highly respected management guru, author of the ultimate guide to running a bar/restaurant/nightclub entitled 'Raise The Bar,' and a esteemed tastemaker and go-to source for the newest trends in the food, beverage & nightlife industries."
With those credentials, you'd think he'd know which spots to target for his show—which claims to "give failing nightlife establishments one last chance at success."
Apparently not in Chicago.

The 2018 Star Europeans Championship officially started yesterday evening with theOpening Ceremony at Flensburger Segel-Club, but it was today that the battle on the water had its first go today.
Conditions on the first day of sailing were just right, with wind ranging between 8 and 12 knots, only a little shiftier than expected. With an unusual sun and clouds mix for this summer day, the 71 boats started together on one big start line. The unsettled wind direction made it difficult to decide the favorite side, and there were lots of positions' changes in both races.
The first one was won by American skipper Augie Diaz with Brazilian crew Bruno Prada, followed by Russian Georgy Shadyuko and Aleksei Borisov, and Swiss Jean-Pascal Chatagny and Serge Pulfer. The second one went to Norwegian Star World ChampionEivind Melleby with Brazilian crew Guilherme de Almeida, second spot to SwedishErik Dahalen and David Nogén and third to another Swiss team, Urs Hunkeler withAlex Gouda.
At the end of the first day former World Champions Augie Diaz (USA) and Bruno Prada (BRA) are the provisional leaders, followed by Lars Grael and Samuel Gonçalves (BRA) and third is the German team skippered by Ulrich Vater with crewKarsten Morf. Roberto Benamati from Italy is fourth and Irish Olympic Star sailorPeter O'Leary with Philipp Rotermund - who grew up in Flensburg - are fifth.
From today to Sunday the 142 sailors will sail five more races under the strict command of Flensburger Segel-Club PRO, Claus Otto Hansen, who, alongside his Race Committee, decided that tomorrow's first start will be at 14,30 local time (GMT+1), as some really strong winds are expected to hit the bay in the morning.
