Build step 'Deploy war/ear to a container' marked build as failure

To solve it I remove ROOT folder inside webapp directory and restart Tomcat , after that Deploy works fine , but only while ROOT folder doesn't exist. I think Jenkins can't redeploy the same application , what is the reason ?

A: Finally I find an answer
In post build actions change
1)WAR/EAR files - > **/*.war instead of target/name.war
2)Context path - > / instead of ROOT
Don't forget to create manager gui (in my case it was configured but I found a lot of questions at stack where people didn't configure manager gui)

The Art Tatum - Ben Webster Quartet is an album by pianist Art Tatum and saxophonist Ben Webster featuring tracks recorded in 1956 by the Verve label and released as a 12-inch LP in 1958. The album was reissued as The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Volume Eight by Pablo in 1975.

Reception

Allmusic's review by William Ruhlmann states: "Tatum never subsides to simple comping; he just keeps soloing away under Webster's rich tenor tones until Webster stops playing, and then keeps on to the end. So, although this is billed as a group effort, it's not a group of equals or really one in which the players are cooperating with each other. Tatum might as well be playing solo, since he takes very little account of what's happening around him. Granz makes it work by varying the volume of the different instruments in the mix, and the result is a fascinating study in contrasts".

The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings selected the reissue as part of its suggested "core collection" of essential recordings.

Track listing
 "All the Things You Are" (Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein II) – 7:12
 "My One and Only Love" (Guy Wood, Robert Mellin) – 6:15
 "My Ideal" (Newell Chase, Leo Robin, Richard A. Whiting) – 7:14
 "Gone with the Wind" (Allie Wrubel, Herb Magidson) – 4:45
 "Have You Met Miss Jones?" (Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart) – 4:46
 "Night and Day" (Cole Porter) – 5:27
 "Where or When" (Rogers, Hart) – 6:24

Personnel
Art Tatum – piano
Ben Webster – tenor saxophone
Red Callender – bass
Bill Douglass – drums

Commodity update with focus on oil, gold, silver and copper
Ole Hansen
Head of Commodity Strategy
Summary: Improved market conditions today have crude oil and industrial metals trade higher while gold is lower. Silver and platinum's impressive 15% outperformance against gold during the past month has started to raise concerns about a correction.
Global stocks trade higher and bonds lower this Tuesday on hopes that calm may return to Hong Kong after Lam, the city's chief executive, announced plans to formally withdraw the extradition bill that spark massive protests in recent weeks. In mainland China the Caixin PMI services Index beat expectations thereby reducing selling pressure on the Renminbi.
Crude oil and industrial metals trade higher while gold trades lower. This after four failed attempts to break resistance at $1550/oz. Silver and platinum's impressive 15% outperformance against gold during the past month has for now raised concerns about a correction. The depth of which will depends on whether gold manage to stay above support at $1520/oz.
Today's improved market conditions follows a Monday sell-off after US ISM Manufacturing dropped below 50 for the first time in three years and US and Chinese officials struggled to set a date for renewed trade talks. Sources told CNBC that President Trump wanted to double tariffs on Chinese goods last month before settling on a smaller increase. This after learning that China had formalized plans to slap duties on $75 billion in US products in response to new tariffs from Washington on September 1.
These developments helped sent both Brent crude oil and HG copper below support thereby setting up the short-covering rally triggered by today's improved sentiment.
Crude oil remains troubled by reports that production from Opec, Russia and the U.S. all rose last month. This at a time where the strength of demand growth, due to trade war pessimism, has increasingly been called into question. Next up is the delayed until Thursday 'Weekly Petroleum Status Report' from the US Energy Information Administration. Surveys point to another supportive stock pile drop but overall, we remain cautious with resistance at $61.50 capping the upside for now.
Gold has settled into a wide $1515/oz to $1550/oz range with underlying demand through gold backed Exchange Traded Funds continuing to rise. During the past three months investors have increased total holdings by 280 tons to 2465 tons, some 107 tons below the 2013 record. While stock market gyrations have supported gold in recent months it has been the collapse in global bond yields that has been the main driver. Today's event in Hong Kong may reduce the safe-haven demand thereby help trigger some additional consolidation but overall the direction of gold and the minor metals of silver and platinum will continue to be dictated by movements in yields and yield curves.
Silver's impressive breakout during the past couple of weeks has yielded a 15% return but also, at least in the short-term, raised concerns about a correction. During the past two months the gold-silver ratio has fallen to 79.7 from above 93 and is now less than 4% away from its five-year average. On that basis the relative cheapness that drove value investors into silver has started to fade. With an RSI reading into overbought territory, further upside may now hinge on gold's ability to break resistance at $1550/oz. Something it may struggle to do, at least in the short-term.
HG Copper has rebounded from the lowest in more than two years thereby setting up another short-covering squeeze. The move higher has been driven by the above-mentioned news, an elevated speculative short held by funds together with a reported pickup in withdrawals from warehouses tracked by the London Metal Exchange. We view the upside potential as being limited while uncertainty remains about trade and demand from China, the world's biggest consumer. Something that was highlighted in a comment last Friday from the CEO of Codelco, the world's biggest producer. He said that the prolonged trade war showed no signs of ending soon and that it had begun to impact consumption.

Nature takes center stage as Swarovski kicks off spring with fresh new designs, as Creative Director Nathalie Colin explains: "The new collection for SS18 is all about color, and how color can trigger emotions and evoke moods. We find the most beautiful and stunning colors in nature, and it has always been an important source of inspiration for the brand and myself. For spring, an array of feminine pinks and purples come to life like the flutter of butterfly wings – perfect inspiration for both delicate and more contemporary jewelry."
Swarovski revisits the poetic aesthetic of butterflies to create a desirable jewelry collection with motifs that range from dainty to dazzling. The modern and exuberant Light Orchid family showcases the brand's iconic craftsmanship and crystal expertise with a truly eye-catching statement necklace and four-finger ring. Thanks to the removable strandage, the versatile long necklace can also be worn as a simple torque for a pared-back look. The highly romantic Lilia family exudes springtime style with a fresh palette of sparkling pink Swarovski crystals paired with soft rose gold plating. On-trend silhouettes such as asymmetrical earrings, Y necklace, and stackable rings make the range relevant to a wide variety of looks and occasions.
To complete this spring look, fluid lines are a must-have, as seen on the long Lilia earrings or the colorful Fitearrings, and also in long strandages that add a subtle and lively accent of brilliance.
Founded in 1895 in Austria, Swarovski designs, manufactures and markets high-quality crystals, genuine gemstones and created stones as well as finished products such as jewellery, accessories and lighting. Now celebrating its 120th anniversary and run by the fifth generation of family members, Swarovski Crystal Business has a global reach with approximately 2,560 stores in around 170 countries, more than 25,000 employees, and revenue of about 2.33 billion euros in 2014.
Together with its sister companies Swarovski Optik (optical devices) and Tyrolit (abrasives), Swarovski Crystal Business forms the Swarovski Group. In 2014, the Group generated revenue of about 3.05 billion euros and employed more than 30,000 people.
The Swarovski Foundation was set up in 2012 to honor the philanthropic spirit of founder Daniel Swarovski. Its mission is to support creativity and culture, promote wellbeing, and conserve natural resources.

Land for the people!
Nonviolent Movements Against Land Grab and Militarism
Visits : 240 -
Popularity :
From the men of property the order came:
They sent the hired men and troopers to wipe out the Diggers' claim.
"Tear down their cottages. Destroy their corn!"
They were dispersed but still the vision carries on.
Lines from Leon Rosselson's song celebrating the Diggers and their struggle for land in 17th century England
Throughout history, militarism has been associated with the unjust appropriation of land and displacement of the local population. And this is still going on today whether we are referring to military facilities - huge bases now under construction, a variety of testing or training facilities - or to the military enforcers (state or private) of the globalized phenomenon known as "land-grab" in the name of monocultivation, biofuels or resource extraction.
Land is often seen as the foundation of life, and land movements can somehow evoke something deep in us. Perhaps this connection has been recognised more by fascists and nationalists than by urban leftists, but it is also a utopian impulse in anarchist and nonviolent traditions from the Diggers' "common treasury for all", through Kropotkin and Gandhi, to the slogan Tierra y Libertad / Land and Freedom! Indeed, in every continent, among tribal peoples and peasants, we find a different relationship to the land - and indeed to the earth - than the attitudes of domination, exploitation and extraction that underlie so much destruction.
For me, campaigns that combine attachment to land with opposition to war and militarism have always carried a special appeal. I think now of some of the campaigns mentioned in this Broken Rifle, and particularly of the current campaign in Jeju island, South Korea, in which some friends of WRI have been arrested. One of the most inspiring struggles in Europe in the 1970s was the Larzac campaign in France in the 1970s to stop the expansion of a firing range. A campaign that saw farmers taking their sheep to demonstrate with the Eiffel Tower as their backdrop. A campaign that used a wide repertoire of tactics, including war tax resistance and the creation of a land trust in which thousands of people bought their tiny square of the Larzac plateau. A constructive campaign in which people showed alternative uses for the Larzac, setting up a nonviolence training centre, experimenting with renewable energy, and promoting other small cooperative economic projects.
I think too of campaigns in concert with indigenous peoples, especially against nuclear testing or other parts of the nuclear chain, such as uranium mining. This is real protection of heritage - at the local level and at the global level in opposing the nuclear threat.
Historically, war resisters themselves have often looked to forming communities on the land where they can live according to their own values. Today's communities for the peace movement in Colombia have gone much further. Some are declarations by tribes or municipalities of their rejection of arms - be they of the state, the paramilitaries or the guerrilla - but others are communities of several hundred previously displaced people, determined to live in peace, organising themselves in a participatory way, and practising ecological agriculture without conceding to monocultivation. When the former Uribe government insisted on placing a police station, violating the principles of the first Peace Community, San José de Apartadó, members of the community dismantled their homes and collective facilities and rebuilt them away elsewhere.
I am writing shortly after this year's Palestinian day of the land, where Israeli troops killed one protester and injured more than 120 others. Since 1976 this has been a day of protest against the continuing confiscation of Palestinian lands, a central issue in the oppression of Palestinians. It is worth noting that campaigns for the land have not only seen some of the most powerful Palestinian nonviolent actions, but also actions in which Israelis are more likely to take part. Some of the many local struggles against the Separation Wall - a monstrous barrier which confiscates yet more Palestinian land, isolates Palestinian communities one from another and cuts them off from essential resources - can be seen as land struggles. Also some of the most constructive actions that have taken place since the 1960s - such as when groups, often a combination of Palestinians and Israelis have attempted to reclaim the land and its fruits by planting olive trees or trying to harvest olives.
Finally, land remains central to the global social conflict which fuels so many local or national conflicts. Although urban dwellers globally now outnumber rural dwellers for the first time, 75% of the world's poor still live in rural areas. Their access to land is fundamental, especially for the millions of women subsistence farmers. In an age of globalised land-grab, venerable concepts such as "the commons" take on a new relevance for those whose livelihoods are under threat and who face displacement. But more than this, as the groups connected with Via Campesina and other rural networks have emphasised, the issue is not just food security - but food sovereignty: "the right to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems". Against the interests of corporate profit, of supporting non-viable levels of consumption and greed, of seeing land in terms of industrial modes of exploitation and extraction, War Resisters' International stands with those who nonviolently resist and who strive to demonstrate what the world needs.
This earth divided we shall make whole
So it will be a common treasury for all.

Everything Real Talk does is reviewed through this Community Advisory Board. We know what teens in our community are doing and why, and we know the best ways to get other teens like us to reduce their risks for HIV/STIs and unplanned Pregnancy and drugs and alcohol. It's our job to tell the adults what to do to help teens in our community reduce their risks, how to do it, and when/where/why to do it. And they listen!
Teens also give advice to other providers in the community, telling them what's going on with teens in our community, how to recruit new teens to their programs, how to get the word out about their services. We review their flyers, give them feedback on their website, give them advice on how to make their services more teen friendly, and help them get the word out about all the services their agency offers to teens.
At least half of the CAB is made up of teens from the community of Albany, Schenectady or Troy—and the rest is made up of community members/parents/agency staff.
Do you want to be part of the board? Check out our Event Calendar to find out where and when the next CAB is meeting and Contact Us.

Near Tuscaloosa in the town of Holt, Alabama, lives Johnny Shines, a man who represents what seems to be a disappearing generation of traditional bluesmen. Born in Memphis, Tenn. in 1915, Johnny Shines were brought up in a musical family. His mother's family were all church people, and he remembers there always being music and musical instruments around the house. "There were tambourines, a fiddle, a bass, bones, all kinds of instruments; but we being the youngest of six kids, all the instruments were gone from the house by the time I got old enough to do anything with them."
"When I was nine years old I decided I didn't like home, so I left and headed South `til I found myself working in a groundhog sawmill in Louisiana. That was the hardest work I've done in my life." It was in Louisiana that Johnny Shines received his earliest exposure to downhome Mississippi Delta blues.
At the age of sixteen he bought his first guitar." It was a six dollar Black Regal. It took me about two months to buy it." He pretty much taught himself to play. "I learned from a lot of people ...Charlie Patton, Son House, my half-brother Willie Reed... Robert Johnson was my biggest influence. One time in Arkansas I was watching Howlin' Wolf play. He stopped playing to go shoot dice and I took that guitar and started playing. Soon I had that whole place howlin'. They started calling me 'Little Wolf.' But Howlin' Wolf said that was the last time he'd leave his guitar' laying where somebody could get ahold of it."
In 1934 he met Robert Johnson, and they traveled together for a number of years." Those was rough times. I remember sleeping in corn-cribs... playing in clubs for a dollar a night and all you could drink. You didn't just play for a few hours. You played until they quit dancing. Sometimes we'd play on the street for nickels and dimes."
And he remembers tales of his travelling with Robert Johnson. "Once we were near Decatur, Ill. There were only two black people in the town and no one hardly ever saw them, so we were a curiosity. They charged 25 cents for people to just come in and look at us. Robert Johnson died in 1938 in Mississippi. Some people said he'd been voodooed or mojoed or poisoned by a woman. I suspect he died from a stomach ailment. He was an awful heavy drinker."
Shines moved to Holt in 1969. In a sense, it was a returning home to Alabama. His ancestors were from near Tuscumbia, and he remembers his grandmother telling him stories of slavery days in that area.
Johnny Shines supposes he'll be singing the blues until his dying day.


AirBridgeCargo provides scheduled all-cargo services to and from Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Atlanta.
During the first 10 months of 2015, AirBridgeCargo doubled its volumes on China-U.S. routes.
Growing air cargo is a top priority and is a critical factor in Atlanta's logistics growth.
AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC), part of Volga-Dnepr Group, has added Atlanta to its North American route network with the launch of twice-weekly flights.
The new Boeing 747 freighter services, which began November 20th, operate on Fridays and Sundays and will connect ABC's global route network to Atlanta, maximizing cargo connections to the growing U.S. market for ABC's customers.
At present, AirBridgeCargo provides scheduled all-cargo services to and from Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and now, Atlanta with onward connections to Europe and further to the airline's online stations in Russia and Asia.
The U.S. is one of the world's biggest cargo markets and a main focus for AirBridgeCargo. The airline has been actively developing its presence in the U.S. since it launched its Chicago flights back in 2011. Since then, ABC has increased its network to include Dallas, Los Angeles, and now Atlanta, and achieved a compound growth rate in tonnage to and from the U.S. of 36 percent and annual volumes to and from the U.S. of over 56,000 tons.

Arizona cattle rancher uses science to beef up industry
Raising Cane's begins prep work on 2nd Tempe location
By LURISSA CARBAJAL/CRONKITE NEWS
Chuck Backus said calves are vaccinated to remain healthy but no hormones are used. Those aren't necessary, he said, because the calves grow to the same size as those that are given hormones. It just takes a little longer. (Photo by Lurissa Carbajal/Cronkite News)
SUPERSTITION MOUNTAINS – Green vegetation dots the mountain range from Quarter Circle U Ranch headquarters to the edge of the Superstition Mountains, where genetically selected black Angus cattle roam rocky trails, eating cacti and dry hay.
Chuck Backus is a ranch owner cloaked in science, his background in engineering leading him to choose the right genes for cattle to survive in the hardened landscape and heat of the Arizona mountains.
Regular cows and heifers, he said, "usually die."
He balances gene selection and artificial insemination with human kindness toward his cows, ending up in juicier and tastier beef.
Arizona lawmakers urge Trump official to protect Mexican tomato imports
Tiffany Selchow, director of social marketing and consumer outreach for the Arizona Beef Council, said research is a key element to improving the multibillion-dollar beef industry.
"We're able to pick out animals that produce more beef and breed those animals together to create an animal that has more pounds per animal," said Selchow, whose husband, Jordan, works at the ranch. The couple live on the ranch with their daughter. "So that means that we are using less cattle but producing more beef and being more efficient with our resources."
In Backus' case, he has spent more than four decades turning scientific acumen he used in his career during the Cold War to raising cattle in the Southwest.
Moving from rocket science to animal science
Backus grew up on a dairy farm in West Virginia, earned a college degree in Ohio and, drawn by the space race of the 1950s, an interest in science led him to the University of Arizona. He earned two graduate degrees in nuclear engineering, spending those early years in Arizona hiking, climbing and getting to know the history and people of the range.
After a few years of research in various university labs, and working on experiments used on NASA space missions, Backus taught engineering at Arizona State University.
Several years later, he and his wife, Judy, decided to establish some ranching roots in the mountains an hour east of Phoenix.
He tried raising cattle the traditional way, at first. Three decades later, he changed his mind.
Economics of the beef industry
Backus was making a career shift to an industry considered one of the top agricultural businesses in the country. In 2016, data showed that the U.S surpassed $1 billion in sales in the cattle industry, with a 2018 projections for economic impact of more than $67 billion.
The Arizona impact affects consumers and employees: More than 5,000 people worked in the cattle industry in 2014 and about 8 million people were fed by Arizona ranchers in 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Beef consumption in the U.S. has been on the decline for nearly a decade. The US Department of Agriculture reported that consumption of beef started to decline three decades after health concerns dented the demand for beef.
Still, the Arizona beef industry contributes about $431 million annually to the state's gross domestic product.
Challenges in the ranch
Backus raised Brahman-cross cows for 30 years.
"I raised Brahman-cross cows, like everyone else in Arizona," Backus says." Backus said. "There's an unwritten view that you have to have a lot of ear in cattle to survive in Arizona. So I had Brahman-cross cows for 30 years."
The Brahman-cross calves survived for a long time in the tough, mountainous terrain but the beef quality was poor. He also discovered that his herd lacked a genetic component that would help the ranch flourish.
He changed his approach.
Rather than buying bulls and heifers to match his ranch's environment, he decided to use genetics to build the bulls and cows that deliver calves.
He faced several challenges because his ranch is located in a high desert terrain that makes calving difficult.
"Here in the Superstition Mountains, it takes us about an hour to an hour and a half just to ride our horses to where the cattle are located," Jordan Selchow, Quarter Circle U Ranch Manager, said.
A different type of cattle ranch
Backus now runs his ranch as a data-driven laboratory for sustainability. He shifted to gene selection, adopted artificial insemination methods and cut calving seasons in half, to two months. He also adopted more intensive feed models such as using non-hormone, non-antibiotic programs and utilizing custom feeding lots that lower the feed-to-gain ratio.
The tightened breeding season allows the service bulls to stay on easier terrain before the cows head north. That keeps the bulls in a less demanding pasture during the calving months and this means Backus does not have to have the bulls back into the mountains in the adverse condition.
Selectively choosing genes means that Backus can design cattle that not only survive in the Arizona mountains but behaves more docile than other breeds.
It paid off. He increased the success rate of breeding in his herd and now has about 200 cows.
Humane treatment of cattle
Backus said one more element is key to handling cattle that will eventually provide quality beef: humane treatment.
The quality of meat is affected by the handling practices most of the time. Overworking or stressing the cattle can turn meat from a healthy looking red to a dark purple.
"We work them very calmly, very quietly," Jordan Selchow said of herding cattle. "We aren't using any types of equipment to force them in the direction we want them to go. We encourage them to go just by our body placement and by overall being calm and quiet with them."
With just the sound of a revving engine, the cow run to his white truck because the cows associate it the sound with food.
Backus said, if cattle can survive the rough terrain on his ranch, the practices of gene selection and artificial insemination can be put into place on ranches throughout the state.
"I have one of the roughest ranches in Arizona and, if I can raise quality-carcass calves in my country, other people can do it on their ranches." Backus said.

Star Wars action figures worth AED 1 million being auctioned by Dubai collector
The Star Wars collectibles that are being auctioned are from the '70s. If you are a Star Wars fan, you certainly have got a lot of competition. And if you are an action figure collector, then you definitely have got nothing against this one Dubai resident who is going to auction all of his action figures that is worth a whooping AED 1 million.
The action doesn't just stop there. The entire collection is only of 33 pieces. Yes, but then each one of them is a rare one that you don't get them anymore. That's what makes it all the more valuable. The action figures are directly from the 1970s and are not manufactured as of late. All the figurines are of mint condition that is currently valued in at USD 360,000 – which if converted is easily more than AED 1 million.
The Star Wars action figures are a huge sensation to those collectors who are highly influenced by the pop culture around the world. Due to the age of the action figures, these antique collections are very precious and if it is in mint condition along with its original packaging, the price of these collector's specials become all the more expensive.
'The Dubai Collection', commonly known, features some of the most rarest of the rarest prototypes that includes rare hand-painted and hand-glued figures that have never been sold to the public ever before.
The popular characters that have made to 'The Dubai Collection' are space sagas like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. The auction is to begin on August 2nd.

Мелнишката гръцка община () е гражданско-църковно сдружение на православните гърци в Мелник, Османската империя, съществувало до 1913 година, когато е закрито от новите български власти.

История
В края на XVIII и началото на XIX век Мелник става важен търговски център в Източна Македония с развити занаяти, като основно занятие на жителите му е лозарството и винарството. Съответно еснафските организации започват да играят важна социална роля. В 1813 година е приет уставът на Мелнишката община, наречен "Система или разпореждания". Той е подписан от 51 търговци, които представляват мелничани и шест еснафа. Уставът е утвърден от митрополит Антим II Мелнишки. Уставът показва какви са правомощията на общината - те се простират както в областта на духовния, така и в социалния живот. Тя се занимава с религиозна и хуманитарна дейност, поддържа образователните процеси има финансови и правораздавателни правомощия. Тримата епитропи и тримата ефори на общината се избират на ежегодно събрание на "двадесет благоразумни и разсъдливи братя от всички класи". Те от своя страна избират епитропи на църквите в отделните махали. Общинската управа се отчита всяка година пред общото събрание. Печатът на общината е троен, като всеки от тримата епитропи има една част, и се слага върху всички общински документи. Статутът на общината регламентира задълженията на епитропите и ефорите - уреждане на общинската собственост, оргинизиране на църковната дейност, поддържане на две училища, подпомагане на бедни, болни и нуждаещи се, поддържане на общинската каса и водене на счетоводство.

Empower Underprivileged Children To Pursue Indian Classical Arts.
Milaap will not charge any fee on your donation to this fundraiser.
Rs.26,608
of Rs.10,00,000
Kala Pradarshini
preserving Indian art and culture
from Chennai, Tamil Nadu
Can you name 3 Indian classical musicians? Nothing? Even better, can you name 3 pop stars??? We're sure you could easily name the later more easily than the former. But that is the exact issue we are dealing with. Today, our generations cannot name our artists, two generations from now, they cannot name the arts itself. While a bollywood/kollywood concert tickets are sold for over $100 per ticket, a traditional sangeet or kutcheri, even free is still is shrugged upon. Don't worry, we wont let that happen, and in fact we will do better. You can help us too. All you have to do is support a child chase their dream and we will handle the rest of it. Our events are never ticketed and we only work with the donations we receive.
Several hundreds of children from various educational institutions and economic backgrounds are selected and trained over several months. 100 talented and deserving children will be selected to perform live in various cities for Ghantasala garu's compositions as a part of the birth centenary. Similarly classical dance and folk art forms are also being supported as a part of the historic celebration. At Kala Pradarshini, we provide holistic development and ensure the artistic ecosystem is empowered. Competitions in various academic institutions, outreach partnerships with like minded organizations to spread Indian classical music and dance to everyone in the society by making it accessible and removing boundaries is what we do. We are also very proud of our partnering organizations like Sargam, led by Dr. Sudha Raja, OnTheStreets of Chennai, VIT C, Shasun Jain College to name a few.
Thinking of it differently, Rs 1,000 gets you two tickets and popcorn at PVR, while it can support a deserving child for an entire month or it will atleast contribute to a portion of the minimum salary of a part time teacher. That is all we are asking for, the rest will be managed through the support of the grants and sponsorships being made.
About the NGO
Kala Pradarshini, Center for performing arts and cultural activities:
Since 1998, we have created an open opportunity for artists of all caste, communities, economic background, get a deserving and rewarding performance opportunity to perform. Promoting the deserving youngsters, while highlighting the luminaries in the field of Indian performing arts. Over the years, we have impacted over 10,000 artists, technical and support staff as well as the entire artists ecosystem through 3 of our annual curated events - the Art festival, Thyagaraja Aaradhana through Dance and Ghantasala samarpanam. Apart from this, micro festivals are also conducted to enable younger artists to take on a professional path of the Indian performing art. From amateurs to doyens in various performing art forms have been a part of these festivals.
Over the years, we have been ably supported by the Ministry of Culture, Govt of India, Sangeet Natak Akademy, Govt of India, Department of Art and Culture of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Apart from the Government bodies, dedicated sponsors have helped us stay afloat and continue to pursue our mission- preserving the intangible cultural heritage.
As a morally, fiscally and financially reputable organization, we are subject to financial audits and inspections by the various Government authorities. As a registered trust, all donations to Kala Pradarshini are eligible for tax deduction under 80G, making it beneficial for both the donors and us.
Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao:
Ghantasala or master garu as he was fondly known in the musical community back in the 50's and 60's was not just any musician par excellence, but also a freedom fighter and a philanthropist who touched the lives of millions of people as well as a person who worked tirelessly for the under privileged. His moto - no artist should go hungry and no deserving artist should be denied an opportunity to succeed. In his very short lifetime of merely 52 years, he sang over 25000 songs in over 6 Indian languages. A freedom fighter who was jailed for stimulating the masses with his patriotic songs, a UN medal awardee and also the first asthana Vidwan of the Thirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams. Over 20 statues of him have been established. The Government of Andhra Pradesh have named the Vijayawada Music College in his honor. He was also known for his patriotism much after the freedom struggle. The most famous was, even before he came back from his US tour, he had already auctioned all his gifts for the country. He was only person after Saint Annamacharya to be allowed to perform inside the sanctum sanctorum of Tirumala Venkateswara. We can go on and on, but you get the point. We do not need you to sing or dance, but atleast help us in this cause.
All we need is 1000 people donating Rs 1000 which will empower more than 1000 artists through the collective power.

Want to cuddle with Tamara?
Touch is a vital part of us as humans. It is an act that molds our hearts and souls from our infancy to our deathbed. Unfortunately this vital part of us can be neglected or its meaning twisted through societal error and lack of communication. Because of this and life circumstance, I know that touch is not available to everyone. My goal is to provide that touch for you in a way that is safe and fulfilling. A cuddle session is a safe space for people to express themselves and feel heard. It is also a place for learning and healing and I will do what I can to create that space for you through mutual open communication and respect. I love giving to people and seeing them smile and relax when they feel safe and heard. I love making people happy and listening to their stories. I am empathetic, compassionate, and accepting. Please allow me to use these skills to give you the cuddle session that you need and want.
Before we schedule a session I would like to meet with you (for free) in a public space to get a feel for each other, go over what you want from your session, sign things and answer any questions you might have. I want to make certain that I am the right person to give you the session that you need. I run sessions from my home in Utah Valley and own a dog so we may need to hold our session from your home if that is going to be an issue. You are free to park on the street in front of my home. I do sessions Wednesday to Saturday as well as Tuesday evenings. We will schedule our appointment at our pre-meeting. Be aware that I do charge a $40 per hour travel fee (including the time to you and back) for out call. I take payments before the sessions begin and prefer to take cash but will accept card payments.

Welcome to another Transformation Tuesday. May was a pretty crazy month for Createyou86. It was also a very transformative month for us. We were traveling for almost the entire month, and we still managed to create, and completely follow through with our very own blog challenge. In this post i wanted to round-up the challenge for all of you with a simple place to find all of the links associated with it.
Which of these posts are your favorite? Do you think that you could follow through with a challenge like this? Let us know in the comments below!
Reblog Wednesday: If You Love Planning Put Your Hands In The Air!
Welcome back to Reblog Wednesday at Createyou86. This week while browsing Bloglovin' (i know i'm crazy obsessed!) I came across a post from one of my favorite blogs to read Lauren Conrad's Blog. You might know her as LC from The OC on MTv, but she has since become not only a blogger, but a fashion designer as well. You can find her designs at Kohl's for more than affordable prices. However, today i want to talk about a blog post that i found last night on her site. This post is an interview with Emily Ley. Emily is the creator of The Simplified Planner . Even though i am a huge fan of ring binders such as the Filofax, I also use a Personal Planner which is coil bound, and a Sugar Paper LA planner which i just removed from its coils, and put in my business planner (which is working out fabulously might i add!) It is time to start looking for next years planners, and I am always looking for new products, and planners to simplify my life. Emily's planners are clean, and simple, and plenty of people are using them. Simply hashtag #simplifiedplanner on Instagram, and be ready to be wowed by some beautiful layouts! It's kind of a rarity that you come across people from the planning community being interviewed so i thought this would be an awesome way for you to learn a little bit more about Emily Ley, and her product.
What kind of planner do you use ring or coil? Have you considered switching lately? Let us know in the comments below!

Welcome to Transformation Tuesday on Createyou86. Yes we just did a product review yesterday! I normally don't post two reviews in a row, but this is another awesome product that Disclaimer: I did not pay for this product. I received it free of charge to test and review from a Brandbacker Campaign.
Natural sleep supplement calms your mind, so you can wake up refreshed...but not drowsy.
Can't fall asleep? Wake up several times during the night? Trouble feeling rested even after a full night's sleep? Oftentimes an overactive mind is what keeps us from getting a full—and good—night's sleep. But did you know your spleen is KEY to healthy sleep? That's why Dr. Yan Ping Xu, certified practitioner of Oriental medicine and board certified herbalist, developed safe, non-addictive, Restful Sleep natural sleep supplement to help restore balance to your spleen's—and whole body—chi (energy) so you can have a full night of restorative sleep and wake up refreshed, never drowsy (Source: Brandbacker Campaign Information).
This is all well, and good, but DOES IT REALLY WORK?
It does NOT make you overly sleepy. This means that you do not "all of a sudden" feel tired out of nowhere. I hate that feeling because it disorients me. Take it from someone who has used not only OTC sleep aids, but prescription strength as well to try to sleep well at night. This is a gradual sleepy feeling!
This is shameful to say that I AM A SNORER! (that just killed me a little bit inside to admit!) The other half of Createyou86 says that he has noticed a SERIOUS reduction in my snoring pattern (he literally sleeps with earbuds in, and WWE Network blasting in his ears so he can't hear it), and since i have been taking these pills i have not snored AT ALL according to him!
I don't wake up sleep drunk at all. With many OTC, and Rx brands you will wake up in a fog, and sometimes even feel inebriated halfway through your day. Not so with this product. I wake up refreshed, and bushy eyed!
Have you ever used this product? If so, how was your experience? If not, would you consider it after reading this review? We would love to know in the comments below!
Welcome to a very special product review here on Createyou86. I only do product reviews on items that i honestly and truly feel will make a positive impact in your life. Disclaimer: I did not pay for this item. I received it free of charge to test and review from OZ Naturals as a part of a Brandbacker Campaign.
OZ Naturals Face Scrub Exfoliant utilizes bamboo to gently exfoliate skin and unclog pores without irritation, drying or stripping. What is so special about this scrub? This scrub contains lactic acid and Alpha Lipoic Acid to further help the exfoliation process by breaking down and removing dead skin cells, revealing the glow of healthy skin beneath, and assists in reducing fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of premature aging from sun damage.
Now that you know a little bit about the product itself let me tell you what it did for me! I have VERY dry skin on my face, and my skin is very prone to being oily if the wrong product is used.. I don't normally use a moisturizer for this reason, so the product that i wash my face with or exfoliate with has to leave my face feeling smooth, but not oily. It took testing many products over the years to find the perfect product that would leave my face feeling smooth, but not oily, and not overly dry.
When i received this product i started using it immediately, and continued to use it for the next five days. I washed my face with just water, and used it as an exfoliant. The scrub is VERY coarse so if you aren't used to it (it is like sand in your hands). After you add the product to your face you are supposed to leave it on your face for about five minutes to let the active ingredients work. As it begins to dry, you can feel your face elasticize with it (get tighter). While drying the exfoliant (sandy scrub) turns white on your face allowing you to see which areas are being exfoliated. Personally i enjoy a pretty coarse exfoliant. After i washed the scrub off of my face as directed, OZ Naturals left my face feeling soft, and smooth. I normally exfoliate in the shower, but you can't take this product bottle in the shower because the moisture gets inside of it, and clumps up making it impossible to shake the scrub out of the "salt and pepper" style shaker that it comes in (at least that's my experience). I started using the product when i already had some blemishes on my face, and after using this product for five days those blemishes are pretty much gone.
It is course, but non-abrasive.
It gives my face a smooth feel.
I fully understand that it may take longer than five days for the product to really start working with my skin type.
My skin feels a little bit oily, but being in central/southern California, and the weather being as dry as it is, it is probably good to have a little bit of oil in my skin.
It has caused a few small breakouts, but again it will take a bit for my skin to get used to the coarseness, and ingredients of the product.
Have you ever tried this product? If so were you happy with the results? Tell us about your experience in the comments below!
Welcome back to Reblog Wednesday at Createyou86!
I have become newly obsessed with Bloglovin' because I finally realize what it is for. I had a Bloglovin' account a LONG TIME AGO....when the app first surfaced, and I just couldn't grasp what exactly it was, because I wasn't a blogger nor did I read many blogs back then. However, now that I have a grip on what it is for, I can't put it down!
While browsing recently I came across a blog called Milk Bubble Tea , and I found this link Useful Links and Tools For Bloggers you can visit the blog here (Source) Milk Bubble Tea . I as a blogger am always looking for helpful links, ideas, programs, and articles to make life as a blogger easier! This article definitely falls in that category. It is filled with helpful links that you may or may not have seen or visited before, and are always useful to have around. So check out the link and let us know what you think in the comments below.
Was this article helpful? Have you seen these links before?

Welcome back to Transformation Tuesday! We are so excited to finally be back to our regularly scheduled programming!
While we were away for the month of May we were working on several different projects. One of those projects was being chosen as a Big for the 2015 Bigs & Littles Blogging Network. As a Big you are paired with one or more littles within your choosen blogger niche. Being a Big means facilitating a conversation between yourself, and your littles, and building a relationship.
My little was Olivia Johnson. She is a business and lifestyle blogger from Atlanta, but her accomplishments span much larger than that. She is also has a full time job as a lead videographer for a boutique television and film production company, speaks at conferences, and runs her blog. Amazing right? We talked alot about monetizing our blogs, and what our vision for our blogs are for the future. I am truly enjoying having a sounding board, and new blogger friend to talk about anything blogging related! If you are interested in being a Big or Little for the upcoming year check out Southern Beauty's Guide Page for the details. Olivia also joined The Createyou86 Planning & Blogging Mastermind Group (our closed group on Facebook) which is a group for likeminded individuals who enjoy blogging and have a blog, and also enjoy the planning community. We help lift each other up to improve our blogs, and personal planning. To join simply click the photo below, and email us your Facebook Name or email so we can add you to the group. This group is closed, but we are looking for new members to mastermind with, and help each other grow our blogs, and businesses. We look forward to hearing from you!
Olivia's Twitter and Olivia's Instagram she has been such an awesome Little, and I look forward to continuing our blogging relationship!
Welcome to a special Createyou86 product review post featuring Moogley & Me planner stickers.
The stickers I was sent.
All of these stickers are adorable. The first stickers I want to talk about are the TV STICKERS.
These stickers are great if you watch lots of shows and need reminding about what days or times they are on, but I would have liked them to be a little bit bigger. I have medium size writing, and I had to squish my writing into the boxes. However, they are small enough to fit in most any planner.
Next on the list are my favorite stickers THE STAR LISTS. These lists fit perfectly in my Personal Planner (as I said before they were made to fit) they would normally fit an EC Planner perfectly. The stars are the perfect size to use as check boxes. They can also act as a decorative page flag.
Another part of the EC sticker world is the HALF STICKER. A sticker that is essentially half of the size of an EC planner box used for decoration, or to write on and be decorative as well. These stickers are super cute, but essentially non-functioning in any planner other than EC.
The rest of the stickers I received were DECORATIVE THEMES.
♥At the Moogley&Me Etsy Shop you can choose weather you want a matte or glossy finish on your stickers.
♥All of the products I received were matte finish and I was able to use ball point pen on all products with no problem at all.
♥All stickers are permanent. Do not try to re-position or remove once placed or you will rip them.
♥All stickers were cut perfectly, and removed from backing with no problem at all. Keep reading i promise there are goodies at the end of this post!
Thanks for sticking around to the end of this review! We promise you won't regret it with the goodies below!
Would I recommend these products? Of course! These stickers are perfect for any EC lover, and there are a ton to choose from! Not only are the products great, but the customer service is great as well. Megan and her mother put great care into making sure that your order is perfect every time!
Be sure to visit the Moogley&Me Shop and use the code: CYD86 for 15% OFF YOUR ORDER (NO MINIMUM PURCHASE!) This offer expires on July 31, 2015.
This past month of May was such a crazy month. We (James and I ) were on our way to Pennsylvania for a month long trip to catch up with friends, be kind of touristy, and attend my sisters wedding. We started packing the first week in May.
DISCLAIMER: All photos in this post weather watermarked or not are the property of Createyou86, and may not be used, reprinted or published without Createyou86's written consent.
carry up to 3 oz. of liquid on an airplane in a large gallon bag to make security checks easier.
The next part of our trip was the flights. We flew from Burbank CA to Denver CO to Philly. The flight from Burbank to Denver was terrible. There was so much turbulence it wasn't even funny.
On the flights back there was some turbulance and by some I mean (3/4 of the flight) from Philly to Denver. When we landed in Burbank there were about six police officers, and two police cars on the tarmac in front of our plane. Who knows what was happening, but it made for an interesting walk from the plane (in Burbank they use the old school sky stairs so that you can enter and exit through the front and back of the plane).
We stayed at my parent's house in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Every year my mother does a phenomenal job of landscaping the entire yard so I thought I would show off some her pride and joy!
The last part of our vacation was my sisters wedding. There aren't a lot of photos that I can share (due to privacy concerns), but I have included a few of my favorites!
During this whole month I also took part in my very first, and very own May A-Z Blog Challenge. I will include a roundup post of that challenge within the next few days so stay tuned for that.
Also be sure to check back on Sunday for a brand new product review!
We hope that you enjoyed seeing some of the things that we did on our trip, and we look forward to bringing you more of the like in the future.
Let us know what your favorite part about vacation is. Mine was seeing all of my friends, and attending my sisters wedding with my fiancé James. Let us know in the comments below!
Our Fauxdori Store is back from vacation as well so be sure to check it out!

The recently-approved restructuring of fuel prices by the State of Kuwait will be helpful for implementing the State tight-belt policy and lowering spending, according to the internationally-renowned Moody's Corporation.
These fuel price reforms are credit positive for the sovereign because they will lower current expenditures and bolster government finances dented by the downturn in global oil prices, while reducing wasteful overconsumption.
The Cabinet (of the State of Kuwait) approved a series of fuel-related subsidy reforms, including an 83% increase in higher-quality ultra-premium petrol prices and a 42% increase in lower-quality octane-91 petrol prices, which will go into effect on September 1.
Kuwait, also according to Moody's report, has been slower than regional peers in developing its non-oil and private sectors and is particularly vulnerable to oil price declines because oil-and gas-related revenues have historically accounted for around 80% of government revenues, although this decreased to 70% in 2015 because of the sharp drop in oil prices.
Total revenues declined by approximately 41% in 2015, and it is forecast that another 14% decline this year. At the same time, total expenditures declined 16.5% in 2015, but they are budgeted to increase by 1.8% in 2016.
Although fiscal gains this year from subsidy reform are likely to be moderate, it is forecast that gains to accelerate should oil prices increase because the government will review prices every three months to ensure that they move in tandem with global rates.
Kuwait budgeted about $7.8 billion, or 6.4% of GDP, to cover the cost of all subsidies in 2015, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). On top of this direct cost, the IMF estimates that the opportunity cost from low energy prices in Kuwait was 7.4% of GDP in 2015.
The inflationary effect of fuel subsidy reform will likely be moderate because energy products make up only 2.63% of the Kuwaiti consumer price index basket. The cabinet decision follows adjustments to diesel and kerosene prices last year.
In January 2015, the government raised the price of diesel and kerosene from $0.18 per liter to $0.56 per liter, but a month later, revised down these prices by about 35% to $0.36 per liter following public discontent.
The government's ability to successfully implement the price hikes this time around will be indicative of its institutional capacity to move its economy beyond oil.

Alongside motiongate Dubai, Dubai Parks and Resorts will include LEGOLAND Dubai, the first LEGOLAND theme park in the Middle East; and Bollywood Parks Dubai, a first-of-its-kind entertainment destination that will showcase the authentic Bollywood movie experience. These will be connected by Riverland, a retail, dining and entertainment walkway. The development will also feature Lapita, a Polynesian-themed resort catering to families.


Have you ever experienced increased bounced and complaint rates when sending reactivation campaigns? Because these emails are sent to less engaged contacts, they can sometimes run the risk of affecting deliverability and damaging sender reputation. Find out how simply spreading out your launches can help reduce this risk.
How do reactivation campaigns work?
Reactivation campaigns are emails designed to attempt to bring inactive contacts back into your marketing communications flow. Some of them have words like 'we miss you' in the subject line, and may contain an offer of some sort if the recipient re-engages with the brand.
However, because the recipients have not engaged with your emails in a while, there is a higher risk of bounces and increased complaint rates. In turn, this increases the chance of spam filters blocking your emails, and harming your sender reputation for future email campaigns.
To do this, you need to look at previous campaign reports. Segment your database based on the time when contacts have shown to be most likely to open. Then separate the list into equal chunks, scheduled for launch over a specific period of time.
For example, you might have a list inactive contacts, from the US, UK and Australia. You've looked at your data and established you want to send the email at 6pm for each time zone, over the course of one week. If the UK list has 3,500 contacts, you could schedule the launch of the reactivation campaign to 500 contacts at 6pm each day.
