A 47-year-old man was killed in a Garden Grove car accident after the vehicle he was driving was hit by a minivan at a freeway overpass. According to a City News Service report, the car crash occurred the night of May 2, 2012, when the victim's Toyota pickup truck and a northbound Honda minivan collided on Bolsa Chica Road at the 405 Freeway. The driver of the pickup truck died at the scene. Two others were critically injured in the collision, The Orange County Register reports. A firefighter at the scene said that the crash was violent and high speed was likely a factor. Garden Grove police are investigating the cause of this fatal incident.
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of this deceased car accident victim for their tremendous loss. I also wish the injured victims the very best for a speedy and complete recovery.
According to California Highway Patrol's 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 14 fatalities and 647 injuries occurred involving Garden Grove car accidents. During the same year, Orange County car accidents claimed 141 lives and injured 13,373 people.
Based on the news account, it is not clear how or why this violent crash occurred. Officials believe high speed was a factor, but we do not know which one of the drivers was at fault. California Vehicle Code Section 22350 (Basic Speed Law) states: "No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic and on surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property." I trust officials are looking into whether speed, alcohol, distracted driving or inattention resulted in this fatal collision.
In such cases, injured victims or families of deceased victims would be well advised to contact an experienced Garden Grove personal injury lawyer, who will stay abreast of the official investigation and ensure that the negligent parties are held liable. In cases where negligence or wrongdoing is involved, the family of a deceased victim can file a wrongful death claim seeking compensation for medical and funeral expenses, lost future income, loss of love and companionship, and other related damages.

A controlled-access highway, known by various terms worldwide, including autobahn, autopista, autoroute, autostrada, freeway, motorway and sometimes expressway, is a highway designed and built specifically for high-speed vehicular traffic. Its primary purpose is to provide an unhindered flow of traffic, with no traffic signals, intersections or property access. Access is provided by slip roads or ramps, which allow for acceleration and deceleration between the highway and arterial thoroughfares and collector roads.
The opposing directions of travel are separated in some form, either by a strip of grass or boulders, or by a wooden, metal or concrete barrier, referred to as a median or central reservation. A controlled-access highway is free of any at-grade crossings with other roads, railways or pedestrian paths; overpasses and underpasses provide access across the highway.
Germany pioneered the controlled-access highway (then referred to as a Dual Highway) following the First World War and rapidly assembled a sprawling network of Autobahns in anticipation of their use in the war effort. Italy followed shortly thereafter, opening its first Autopista in 1925.
In North America, a similar concept, known as a parkway, was developed on Long Island. These parkways did not perform the same function as a modern highway, but were divided and designed specifically for automobiles. Ontario and Pennsylvania opened the first North American freeways in 1940. Britain, heavily influenced by the railroad, did not build its first motorway until the mid-1950s.
Today, most industrialized nations feature an extensive network of freeways or motorways. Many have a national-level system of route numbering. The highway has brought with it the ability to access almost any part of the world with comfort and speed, but has mired controversy over the pollution, degradation to farmland and urban sprawl with which it has been associated.
The word freeway was coined by the "Father of American Zoning," Edward M. Bassett, in an influential article published in February 1930. Bassett argued that roads should be classified into three basic types: highways, parkways, and freeways.
Modern controlled-access highways originated in the early 1920s in response to the rapidly increasing use of the automobile, the demand for faster movement between cities and as a consequence of improvements in paving processes, techniques and materials. These original high-speed roads were referred to as "dual highways" and, while divided, bore little resemblance to the highways of today.
The first dual highway in the world opened in 1921 between Milan and Varese and now forms parts of the A8 and A9 motorways. This highway, while divided, featured only one lane in each direction and no interchanges. Shortly thereafter, in 1924, the Bronx River Parkway was opened to traffic.
The Bronx River Parkway was the first road in North America to utilize a median strip to separate the opposing lanes, to be constructed through a park and where intersecting streets crossed over bridges.
Controlled-access highways have been constructed both between urban centres and within them, leading to the sprawling suburban development found near most modern cities. They ideally serve to reduce travel times and accident rates, though the higher speeds have increased the severity and death rates of the collisions that do occur.
Highways have been heavily criticized by environmentalists, urbanists, and preservationists for the noise, pollution, and economic shifts they bring. Additionally, they have been criticized by the driving public for the inefficiency with which they handle peak hour traffic.
Construction of urban freeways for the U.S. Interstate Highway System, which began in the late 1950s, led to the demolition of thousands of city blocks, and the dislocation of many more thousands of people. The citizens of many inner city areas responded with the freeway and expressway revolts. Through the study of Washington's response, it can be shown that the most effective changes came not from executive or legislative action, but instead from policy implementation. One of the foremost rationales for the creation of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) was that an agency was needed to mediate between the conflicting interests of interstates and cities. Initially, these policies came as regulation of the state highway departments. Over time, DOT officials re-focused highway building from a national level to the local scale. With this shift of perspective came an encouragement for alternative transportation, and locally based planning agencies. Often, rural highways open up vast areas to economic development and municipal services, generally raising property values. In contrast to this, above-grade highways in urban areas are often a source of lowered property values, contributing to urban decay.
Beginning in the early 1970s, the U.S. Congress identified freeways and other urban highways as responsible for most of the noise exposure of the U.S. population. Subsequently, computer models were developed to analyze freeway noise and aid in their design to help minimize noise exposure.
Some cities have implemented freeway removal policies in which freeways have even been demolished and reclaimed as boulevards or parks, notably in Portland (Harbor Drive), New York City (West Side Highway), Boston (Central Artery), San Francisco (Embarcadero Freeway) and Milwaukee (Park East Freeway).
An alternative to surface or above ground freeway construction has been the construction of underground urban freeways using tunnelling technologies. This has been extremely successful in the Australian cities of Sydney (which has five such freeways) and Melbourne (which has two such freeways). This has had the benefit of removing traffic from surface roads and in the case of Melbourne's Eastlink Motorway, has helped preserve an ecologically sensitive area from destruction.
Other Australian cities face similar problems (lack of available land, cost of home acquisition, aesthetic problems, and community opposition). Brisbane, which also has to contend with physical boundaries (the river) and heavy population increases, has embraced underground tunnel freeways. There are currently three under active development, one of which (the North-South Bypass Tunnel) is currently under construction. All of the planned tunnels include provisions for public transport, whether underground or in reclaimed space on the surface.

Orwell Flower Shop opens under new owners
by Doris Cook
ORWELL- Grand Valley's newest business enterprise, Orwell Flower Shop has just opened at the same location as its predecessor-Cindee's Flowers & Gifts, Route 45 south of the village limits.The new shop floral designer and manager, Jen Henry, worked with Cindy Pace in the former shop for the past four years. Pace closed her business earlier this fall. (From Nov. 30 edition).
"Cindy held an auction to sell all her shop inventory. My brother-in-law Mike Meiner of Colebrook bought all of the inventory at an auction Cindy held. So now I manage and run it. It's a nice family arrangement and I wanted to see a flower shop continue in our area. Before Cindy bought out the flower shop from the late John Rose and his wife. The Roses had their shop on Staley Rd. in Orwell and I worked for John for five years. Then I stayed on working with Cindy," said Henry.
Henry has always been creative. Working for florists like the Roses and Pace provided her with "training on the job", she noted.
"Every (floral) designer arrangement is different. And every one order you do is different. It's what you see in your mind when working with flowers. I love the work and creating something different," she said.
Henry's daughter Miranda and son Jacob attend Grand Valley schools though the family resides near Cortland. Miranda helps her mom in the store, too.
Opening the Orwell Flower Shop just before Thanksgiving, Henry has been busy getting settled in the same location at 8220 Route 45 south. The new shop shares the building with the Northeast Ohio Farm Bureau offices and another small business.
"Our services still include a lot of walk in customer orders, local delivery and I take out-of-town orders to other floral shops. I know this area well as I grew up in Colebrook and am a Grand Valley HS graduate. Before I got into the floral design career, I ran a car lot in Johnson Township in Trumbull County for five years. Doing this kind of creative work is my favorite," said Henry.
"I plan to have other gift items soon in our shop like homemade soaps and lotions plus Christmas holiday season items. Right now I have house plants and handmade evergreen and silk wreaths plus Norfolk Island pine plants," she added.
Henry and her brother-in-law Mike Meiner invite area residents to stop in at the reopened flower and gift shop. Shop hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; closed Wednesdays; and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Look for their new shop sign to go up soon as well, said Henry.

Opening just before Thanksgiving, Henry's brother-n-law Mike Meiner owns the business and she manages the operation.

OUR VIEWS: State-funded scholarships should be open to all students
Sun | Opinion
Jim Campbell — Jul 28th, 1999
Last year, Gov. Gary Locke announced his proposal for Washington's Promise Scholarships, giving state financial aid to top students in high school graduating classes.
The two-year scholarships - a maximum of $1,585 per year - were a first step toward Locke's stated goal of offering everyone access to college.
But as proposed by Locke, about 100,000 of our state's students - including many in low- and middle-income families - would have been left out of Washington's Promise. Why? Because they attend private schools or are home-schooled.
But a few things were changed - for the better - in Washington's Promise legislation that eventually was passed by lawmakers.
* Private school students now are included - which is only fair, considering their parents' tax dollars are being used to pay for the scholarships.
* The method of selecting the top 10 percent of each school's graduating seniors is entirely a matter of local preference.
* The scholarships may be used at any accredited post-secondary school, including technical colleges and vocational schools. Locke's original proposal mentioned only colleges and universities.
Locke deserves credit for the concept - and legislators for offering it to more students.
So far, Washington's Promise Scholarships have funding only for the biennium ending June 30, 2001. In the coming session, the governor's office is planning to submit proposed legislation to extend the program and further define its conditions.
Locke has proposed limiting scholarships to those students who pass all subject areas of the state's planned 10th grade test in the Washington Assessment of Student Learning.
But again, that would cut out many students at private schools which won't be participating in the WASL tests. It also would mean that the state - and not local districts - would be setting criteria for how to select the "top" graduating seniors.
It's arguable whether the state should be getting into the scholarship-funding business. But since it is, we urge legislators to offer equal opportunity for all students in each district. Lawmakers also should continue a "local option" approach, rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all mandate linked to state testing.
Those conditions are needed if the scholarships are to be offered free of discrimination and free of politics.

#FreePoliticalPrisoners - Moving in our Hearts from Fear to Peace
A second Look Ahead America DC Rally was gathered at the DC Detention Center to call for an end to the political persecution of the January 6 patriots that were present at the US Capitol that day to protest a fraudulent election. Our imprisoned American brothers and sisters were set up and entrapped that day by a treasonous and fake government and its weaponized Department of Justice, coordinating with the failing deepstate mockingbird fakenews. This shall not stand, [they] shall NOT pass!
New World of Peace
Saturday's July 17 rally was led by the non-profit Look Ahead America creator and leader and former Trump campaign staffer Matt Braynard, who said he was grateful for the showing of caring patriots. Letters from the victims, abused and rotting in jail, were read over a bullhorn, tearfully and bravely, letters that reflected a process in the hearts of terrorized men of a surrender to God's Perfect Will. The Passion of the Christ individualized.
John 15:20 "Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also."
Patriotic and inspirational songs and hymns were sung, chants raised so they could be heard in the jail. Reports came down from the prisoners that they were forced away from the windows and from being able to listen to their friends and family members outside; treated like prisoners of the Dark Ages.
Matt Braynard also said that, "it wasn't enough," that we've failed at organizing a large enough protest, that 100,000 people marching on DC would have gotten the prisoners released! The call from Matt was to get bigger, get louder, get organized, get motivated.
Satellite rallies were also held in a number of cities around the country including Alpharetta Georgia near where several Ruby Ray Media contributors live and who attended that rally, joining with other fired-up patriots to raise a strong protest against the unjust jailing of fellow Americans. They flew flags and vowed to raise their voices louder and louder until something is done.
What needs to be done is to complete what the popular Trump Team and their global alliance has achieved so far (read about that here): a great stripping of much of the power of the global communist-fascist big pharma deepstate, their propaganda media and crony political leaders; a cabal of dark ones that practice a religion of evil so heinous that most people are not capable of knowing it or refuse to take any responsibility for knowing it, even as this cult of death devours their own children, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, even physically, in front of them.
What's left to do is to win the War for Hearts and Minds. Fighting a war of scorched earth is what those who remain of the Big Pharma Phreak AI Borg and Death Star want to bait us into doing, but it's not what We the People want or what our true leaders want. The deaths of millions or billions and the destruction of so many nations would ensue from such an open conflict, resulting perhaps in a cure that is worse than the disease. With the willing consent of 80%+ of We the People, the Team and Alliance can publicly bring the global criminals to account, even as the civilian institutions seem too compromised to correct what's wrong.
We've gotten closer to seeing a just outcome, even as appearances may continue to belie that. We the People must continue to activate our hearts more to seek and earn God's favor. We see a gradual acceleration in We the People waking up to the fake world we've had shoved down our throats our whole lives, a Cain Civilization designed to separate us from claiming our rightful and divine inheritance, the way Adam's son Abel was murdered by the Serpent's offspring Cain, representing that Mortal Duality that man and woman were tempted into by the hissing serpents. (If you didn't know already, now you know why Trump often tells that little serpent story in his speeches.)
We the People are quickly realizing we must choose to remove our consent from a confounding state of duality in all its subtle and not-so-subtle manifestations, in order that God's intercession may have a place in our hearts and in our lives. It's always been about how we use our own free will. It always will be.
James 1: 5-8 "5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."
There is a clear choice before every one of us - to choose better, every day! Christ makes us ALL accountable.
A new world of peace dawns, the old world of fear is transmuted.
John 15:26, 27 "26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27. And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning."

Thank you to all who made it happen, and to all those who helped lead our TEN rallies around the country. https://t.co/lRZWR1oJNt

Looking back to the First Rally by Look Ahead America
LAA Declares #RallyAgainstPoliticalPersecution a Success, Announces Second Rally at DC Prison for July 17
On Saturday, June 19, Look Ahead America (LAA) led a successful rally in front of the Department of Justice in Washington DC. Speakers including Congressman Paul Gosar, Attorney John Pierce, activist leader Cara Castronuova, and the father of one of the political prisoners joined LAA Executive Director Matt Braynard in addressing the peaceful crowd. A team of a dozen private security agents retained by LAA reported no incidents.
(Video of the rally can be seen just below this text.)
At the rally, LAA Executive Director Matt Braynard announced a follow-up rally planned for July 17 at noon to be held at the DC Central Detention Facility at 19th and D Street SE where many of the political prisoners are being held.
In a statement, Braynard said:
If the prisoners are still being held in deplorable, abusive conditions without charges or without access to reasonable bail commiserate with what they are being charged with by July 17, we will rally at that prison and raise our voices in patriotic song so they know we stand with them.
In the tradition of Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Gandhi, we will peacefully protest this injustice at the prison. I urge every patriotic American to join us on that day.
#MAGA, The Spirit of the Founding Fathers
The knowledge of the foundations of civilization, was kept under lock and key while keeping us starving in the mud for 1000 years, by the same creeps who locked Christ's True Teachings in their basements and worked to eradicate them from the earth in satanic, genocidal orgies. Especially how to heal the sick, feed the hungry, clothe the poor, raise the dead, perform miracles etc, which Jesus Commanded his followers to teach to every person on planet earth.
Texas Patriot Sued by Biden Campaign Staffers - Video and Transcript
Yesterday, Wednesday, July 14, a friend and contributor to Ruby Ray Media messaged us and wanted us to help her friend get his story out. So, we talked to seventh generation Texan and Navy veteran Eliazar "Cisco" Cisneros. We are featuring here our very first recorded video interview.
Cisco is among a group of patriots being sued by Biden Leftists for protesting the ridiculous Biden-Harris platform in their home State. Some of you might remember the video footage that got around social media showing that the Sleepy Joe con game was not welcome in the Lone Star State.
We start this article with earlier coverage by Gateway Pundit's Alicia Powe, who also interviewed Cisco, then we have our interview on video and a transcript of all 21 minutes, posted below.

Do Women "Train" Men to Be Douchebags?
By Maura Kelly
Demonoid/iStock
The other night, I happened to meet up with some male friends who had gathered at a great local bar here in Brooklyn. The dudes had been there for three hours when I arrived — and a few of them were a little tipsy, particularly one twenty-something pal who had had plenty of Old-Fashioneds. At a certain point, he went to the bar for another round, where, as we could see from our table, he got into an animated conversation with a young lady on the stool next to the opening he'd found. When he returned with the drinks, we teased him about whether he'd gotten her number. As it turned out, he knew the girl fairly well — she was a friend of a friend — and a year of two before, he'd asked her out, only to be turned down. Whereupon he almost immediately started fooling around with one of her friends — and as soon as he did, the woman who had negged him initially showed sudden interest. (Mimetic desire, anyone?)
From there, the conversation quickly progressed to the point where Mr. Old-Fashioned was saying, "I swear, there's nothing like treating a woman kind of badly to make her more into you. It's only when you act like kind of an asshole that they perk up. It's really depressing, actually, because it trains men to think that women like it when you treat them badly."
I tried to talk to him out of this bad attitude. "First of all, earlier in the week you told me that you believe that women respond to persistent men — so how could that possibly square with what you're saying now?"
"Women giving in to men who put a lot of sexual pressure on them? I think that squares perfectly. Because any guy who puts a lot of sexual pressure on you is a douchebag — who is going to disappear once he gets what he wants, which is sex."
"Fair enough," I said. "I was thinking more of a guy who persists in expressing his interest even after you turn him down initially — but when I try to think of real-world examples of guys who do that, I can only think of guys who were kind of insecure or really f*cking annoying. So let's go at this from a different angle. And let me say that there have been plenty of situations in which I find a guy somewhat interesting at first, but I'm not totally convinced I'm into him — and then he starts doing all the right things, like always setting up the next date right after the first one, taking me out to nice places, expressing his affection for me openly but not too melodramatically, and so on. And if I'm already somewhat interested, all those kinds of things only help to make me more interested. On the flip side, when I was younger, I could get neurotically 'obsessed with' — or kind of frantic about — a guy who doesn't call after a great date, or three ... or some dude who keeps me guessing in some way, early on in the courtship. But my being more frantic or anxious about a situation doesn't translate into me being more interested in a long-term relationship with a guy. It just means that in the first two or three weeks of a thing, I might be more riled up than not. And at this point in my life, if a guy isn't doing the work, taking the lead, and making it clear he's into it, I write him off pretty quickly."
"It's only because you're older and wiser that you like dudes who treat you well now," he said. "Do I need to remind you that it wasn't long ago that you were a commitment-phobe who preferred aloof guys to all others?"
"Well, just because I used to be kind of screwed up doesn't mean everyone is," I said. "Also, when you're younger, it can be hard to tell when a guy is being a jerk. You think, Oh, maybe he's just really busy with work. Or, Maybe he's insecure and he's not sure that I like him — I'll be patient."
But my friend didn't seem convinced. He insisted that most women are more likely to respond to a guy lacking in sweetness and consideration than they are to fall for the proverbial nice guy.
Ladies out there: Can you give me some good arguments to take to my friend?
And gents, what do you think?

The 21-year-old daughter of a well-known New York state attorney avoided getting a DWI charge despite a video that has emerged of her admitting to drinking alcohol before getting getting in the car and driving.
A Niagara County Sheriff's Deputy pulled over Rachel Winter, who is the daughter of attorney Ron Winter, who authorities in the area say they know 'very well'.
In the deputy's bodycam footage circulating online, Winter is heard telling the officer that she 'had a couple of beers at a friend's house', but said she waited long enough before entering her car and getting on the road.
Rachel Winter can be seen in the video performing a couple of field sobriety tests.
The officer is later heard telling his supervisor Lt Steve Broderick that Winter did badly on the tests and Rachel refused to take a breathalyzer.
Mr Winter currently works as a law clerk for State Supreme Court Justice Richard Kloch, Sr.
He is also a member of the Niagara County District Attorney's Office.
During the arrest, Rachel Winter is able to call her father to ask if she should take the breathalyzer test, which would determine her whether she was in a good condition to drive.
But her father then asks to speak to the deputy and Mr Winter asks the deputy if he 'recognizes' his name.
'Is there anything we can do?' he asks the officer.
Rachel Winter was charged with a DWI but once they were at the sheriff's office for booking, Broderick asked the deputy if he felt comfortable downgrading the DWI charge to something less serious.
The deputy agrees to downgrade the charge. But several months later the bodycam footage is viewed by the Niagara County District Attorney's Office, which then questioned the sheriff's office about the incident.
The DA's officer determined that Broderick improperly intervened and he was disciplined.
Rachel Winter was charged again with DWI, but just last week Niagara Falls City Court Judge Robert Merino dismissed the charge and issued an apology to Winter.
Merino said he agreed with Joseph Cardone, the Orleans County District Attorney, who said he didn't believe what he saw on the body camera video proved Winter was drunk.


The Chicago area has not yet permitted scooter companies to start ride-sharing services that are available in other cities. Proponents say that electric scooters could be useful for trips to and from transit and to fill the gap in options for short-hop trips and could help more households do without a car although there are critics. Leading a discussion of the pros and cons and what we might expect in micro-mobility transportation options will be Maggie Melin, an Advocacy Manager at the Active Transportation Alliance, an advocacy group for bikes, pedestrians, and transit. Also, Matthias Donelan, Lime's Operations Manager in Chicago, will bring some Lime scooters to view and test ride. This is the monthly meeting of the Evanston Bicycle Club, free of charge and all are welcome.

Q: Convergence of a sequence given that of certain subsequences I am interested in the following problem: let $A$ be a subset of $(1,+\infty)$ and $u$ a sequence of real numbers. Denote for any $a \in A$, $u(a)$ the subsequence of u defined through the extraction $\varphi(n) = [an]$ (denoting $[x]$ the integrer part, or floor function,  of $x$) -- that is $u_n(a) = u_{[an]}$.
Assume that, for any $a\in A$, the subsequence $u(a)$ converges (without assuming apriori that the limit is independent of $a$, but if it simplifies a proof, I am happy with a solution based on the independence of $\lim u(a)$ wrt $a$ as well). Must $u$ converge as well?
Of course, it is too general, and the answer is no if $A$ is finite, or if $A = \bf N\setminus\{1\}$. But the answer is yes if $A$ = irrationals $>1$, which can be proven by Baire theorem, or using the Beatti partition theorem (but these proofs don not entirely satisfy me as they seem to me too involved given the amount of hypotheses).
I though the case $A = \bf Q\cap (1,+\infty)$ would be easier (I suspect the answer is no) but I don't find a proof...
If anyone has an idea, or a hint, it would certainly help me! Also, I don't know if this question is well known, but does there exist necessary or sufficient conditions on $A$ insuring the answer is yes?
Thanks!


Mark Twain once said that there are "lies, damn-lies, and statistics," this statement holds very true when considering the task of outsourcing. There are many misconceptions that most people have come to believe as fact in the world of this growing profession.
Time to bust some myths about outsourcing!
Most professionals today are highly competent and trained extensively in many different areas regarding outsourcing. They are completely capable of handling the entry level tasks while still providing quality service. Answering phone calls, scheduling appointments and replying to emails are just a few of these tasks that can be passed down and must be handling by someone who is, on the contrary, very skilled.
This is one of the most common, but nonetheless very false. We have been on hold for what seemed to be forever, only to have our call finally answered by a "professional" who was not properly trained to assist us with our problem and more than likely was not even fluent in the English language. Most reputable companies are aware of this and have shifted their focus to quality of customer service.
This is especially not true of the smaller companies where you will have one on one contact with your professional. This also allows you to focus on the bigger picture, giving you an edge on the larger businesses that are your ultimate competition. Outsourcing professionals take pride in their work and ultimately your company. If you cannot be the ultimate cheerleader for your client, then it's time to reassess the relationship. A veteran virtual assistant will go out of their way to make to their clients' business run smoothly.
Companies have realized the importance of outsourcing and this has become a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States. Technology and available workers have also increased dramatically in the recent years. In businesses today, outsourcing is a crucial part of all major corporations.
This is a huge misconception. Most people will think this task is reserved only for larger businesses, when in fact; outsourcing while your business is small will give you an edge on the larger businesses and save you money.
If you are the type who likes to micro-manage, then outsourcing may not be for you. It is not risky, but very beneficial if you find the right company to help with your smaller tasks. You should be able to find someone who is not only has the proper qualifications and track record, but who is also someone you can trust to get the job done without constant supervision.
This is the age of outsourcing where are of these misconceptions will soon be rumors of the past. If you are looking for talented competent workers to help build your company then outsourcing is definitely the right decision for you!

Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 691 - The Battle Between the Two Strong Beings
Two strong practitioners possessed abilities on Emperor's Throne fighting with spells. The spells and divine arts used were boundless and straightforward as their offense and defense had the principles of the Great Dao is the simplest and the easiest. There weren't many transformations needed in the divine art to unleash a power that countless divine arts practitioners and gods couldn't reach.
It was the divine art of the realm of the path—simple, effective, and no unnecessary transformation. Qin Mu's Opening Calamity Sword was the symbol of his sword skill entering the path.
However, Qin Mu had only comprehended one move, and after he executed it, no other sword skill could follow up. On the other hand, it was extremely simple for Goddess of Heavenly Yin and Son of Heaven Yin. Even though they were fighting across worlds, their attacks were brilliant and varied, and there was rarely a repeated move.
The emperor that was fighting with Goddess of Heavenly Yin looked like how she had described. He was a cultured and refined man, and even though he had the lofty quality of an emperor, it wasn't overbearing and tyrannical at all.
He looked very handsome, with big eyes that were long and narrow. They were like the eyes of a phoenix. His beard was like an inverted "V", which made him quite appealing.
He was Son of Heaven Yin, the one who had schemed against Goddess of Heavenly Yin back then and controlled Heavenly Yin World in one fell swoop.
"Even though goddess has died for so many years, it looks like it was a blessing in disguise."
Son of Heaven Yin fought for a long time, and he could never break into Heavenly Yin World, so he suddenly said with a smile, "Your comprehension of Dao now has surpassed what it was before. Fighting you across the worlds, I truly can't do anything to you. So I can only make do with tricks."
The wind and clouds suddenly changed and countless black sand flooded over from all the worlds into Heavenly Yin World. Countless monsters transformed from starved ghost sprinted furiously towards Goddess of Heavenly Yin, and at that moment, starved ghosts were running on the entire sea!
Not only that, the black soul sand in Heavenly Yin World pressed down on Goddess of Heavenly Yin altogether as the huge starved ghost of Heavenly Yin World was about to awaken.
No light could be seen in Heavenly Yin World as it sank into utter darkness.
Goddess of Heavenly Yin gave a gentle laugh, and she suddenly threw up Celestial Dipper. Celestial Dipper spun furiously in the sky, and the entire Heavenly Yin World was also spinning!
The sea whooshed and flipped over the sky, and the land hung over their head, turning the sky into an empty land. Countless starved ghost flailed as they got thrown into the air. Heaven and earth were flipped again, and they came smashing down ruthlessly once more.
The spinning heaven and earth moved the whole Heavenly Yin World and threw the starved ghosts around. They couldn't attack Goddess of Heavenly Yin at all, and the black soul sand broke apart from the vibrations. The starved ghosts of Heavenly Yin World couldn't attack Goddess of Heavenly Yin at all.
Son of Heaven Yin sighed, and he slowly faded in the darkness of Mingdu.
"You have indeed jumped out of the shackles of a natural born sacred god and even learned my paths, skills, and divine arts from my Celestial Dipper. I'm even more curious about that Dao friend that revived you. Who is he exactly to manage such an astonishing feat..."
His face gradually sank into darkness and vanished. "However, you are still unable to subdue starved ghost and subdue Heavenly Yin World."
He was a person who knew how to retreat. When he realized he couldn't suppress Goddess of Heavenly Yin with the starved ghosts, he immediately stopped wasting his effort and preserved his strength instead.
Goddess of Heavenly Yin let out a sigh of relief and used a finger to tap on the Celestial Dipper gently. The Celestial Dipper that was spinning in the sky gradually stopped and at that moment, Heavenly Yin World pressed down on Goddess of Heavenly Yin once again!
'What should I do to slay this huge starved ghost in Heavenly Yin World and let Heavenly Yin World fall back into my control?'
Goddess of Heavenly Yin couldn't help being plagued with worries.
Even though she could stop Son of Heaven Yin's invasion, Heavenly Yin World still wouldn't be back in her control. The one that controlled Heavenly Yin World was still Son of Heaven Yin.
Unless she could solve the predicament of Heavenly Yin World then, otherwise, it would be hard for her to seize back Heavenly Yin World.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Yin World's predicament was that it didn't belong to the two zones that were under the jurisdiction of Earth Count and Heaven Duke. Heavenly Yin World was independent and transcendent yet full of dangers.
There were starved ghosts that were hungry at all times, and they would eat all life. As long as Heavenly Yin World remained in Heaven Duke's shadow, Heavenly Yin World's predicament would always remain. There would still be starved ghosts everywhere, and there would be starved ghosts swallowing everything.
'What exactly is the crux to solving the problem of the starved ghost?'
Goddess of Heavenly Yin sat beside the sea, and she stroked her chin in utter boredom. The tower stood tall and suppressed the abnormal situation in Heavenly Yin World as she pondered. "If I'm unable to solve this problem, I will always be alone. Other than me, other lifeforms in Heavenly Yin World wouldn't be able to survive. Unless I could let lifeforms survive in Heavenly Yin World, only then would the predicament be solved... If only Great Wizard were here, maybe he would have an idea..."
She pondered strenuously. The starved ghosts were the source of Heavenly Yin World's predicament. The current her was no longer a perfect sacred god that was born from nature so she could learn other divine art, maybe she would be able to find a solution.
If the difficult question of the starved ghosts wasn't solved, she could only guard there. Otherwise, if she left, Son of Heaven Yin would take the chance to sneak in and seize Heavenly Yin World away. She would become homeless.
At the source of the Surging River in the Great Ruins, Qin Mu didn't have Goddess of Heavenly Yin's troubles. Despite Goddess of Heavenly Yin and Son of Heaven Yin's battle across the worlds and the numerous flips that happened in Heavenly Yin World, nothing had affected the Great Ruins.
Although Celestial Dipper could control the invasion of the darkness, it was day in the Great Ruins, and the darkness couldn't invade the Great Ruins during the day.
"How do we know if Goddess of Heavenly Yin has won or lost?" He Yiyi was slightly worried and asked.
"If we have to enter Heavenly Yin World to investigate, it's good if Goddess of Heavenly Yin won, but if Goddess of Heavenly Yin lost, we would just be walking right into a trap."
Qin Mu looked at the cliff and said, "We will wait until the sky becomes dark. If the goddess has won, there might not be any more darkness invading the Great Ruins. If she lost, the darkness will continue."
Yan Jingjing sat beside him and watched the cliff with him. Qin Mu continued to say, "Goddess of Heavenly Yin's victory and defeat doesn't concern only the fate of Heavenly Yin World and the Great Ruins, I feel it also concerns the fate of all of the worlds. The black soul sand is occupying Heavenly Yin World, and if the black soul sand of Heavenly Yin World can't be solved completely, there will be more and more black soul sand in the heaven and earth. I'm afraid the starved ghosts will rule all of the worlds. When that time comes, Son of Heaven Yin would be the ruler of all the worlds."
Yan Jingjing and He Yiyi couldn't help shuddering.
They had already heard Qin Mu talk about his experiences in Heavenly Yin World and they also knew about the origin of the black soul sand and starved ghosts.
The black sand was produced when souls scattered in pieces.
Starved ghost was a kind of undying evil spirit formed by black sand. They remained starving and only knew how to swallow and slaughter.
If the broken souls in all of the worlds became greater and greater in number, more and more black soul sand would form, and they would turn into starved ghosts that couldn't be killed. No matter if it were divine arts practitioners or normal humans, they would find it hard to defend against the invasion of the starved ghosts. If Son of Heaven Yin controlled the ghosts, even gods and devils couldn't be a match for him.
If it continued, all of the worlds would sink, and all of the lifeforms would be wiped out. All of the worlds would fall back into silence and darkness!
"Can goddess solve the black soul sand and the starved ghosts?"
Yan Jingjing said, "Son of Heaven Yin is Mingdu Black Deity, and he's very powerful. I wonder if the Goddess of Heavenly Yin can defeat him. If she isn't a match for Black Deity, there will be no plans to discuss."
"Goddess of Heavenly Yin died tens of thousands of years ago. She couldn't be a match for Son of Heaven Yin. However, if Son of Heaven Yin wants to kill her, he will have to descend into Heavenly Yin World personally."
Qin Mu said, "As long as he can't attack his way into Heavenly Yin World, Goddess of Heavenly Yin can still block him—there won't be a problem."
He Yiyi said anxiously, "Even if Goddess of Heavenly Yin manages to defend against her opponent, she probably can't deal with the starved ghosts. If she has a way, Heavenly Yin World wouldn't have a problem, and she wouldn't have been eaten up by them."
Qin Mu said, "The problem in Heavenly Yin World is small, she will definitely be able to think of a solution."
Yan Jingjing's eyes sparkled, and she looked at him curiously. "If it's you, how would you solve it?"
"Very simple, the starved ghosts are afraid of the sun, and as long the sun comes out in the Great Ruins, the starved ghosts would retreat along with the darkness to hide into the other worlds or Heavenly Yin World. This shows that the starved ghosts can't see sunlight."
Qin Mu said, "As long as she hangs a sun in Heavenly Yin World, she can definitely suppress the starved ghosts into obedience. If the sun continues shining night and day, she will be able to suppress the starved ghosts to one corner of Heavenly Yin World. In that way, they wouldn't be able to create havoc in Heavenly Yin World."
Yan Jingjing stared with her eyes wide open. "So simple? Looks like goddess will definitely be able to think of this idea."
Qin Mu nodded his head naturally. "Goddess is very clever, and even if she can't find a sun, she can still pierce the wall to steal a light. As long as she drills a hole on the sole of Heaven Duke, she will be able to borrow light from Heaven Duke."
Yan Jingjing couldn't help laughing. "How painful would that be. Heaven Duke won't be willing."
"I feel Heaven Duke would be willing, even if he isn't, he can't do anything about it."
"He can't find Heavenly Yin World."
Qin Mu said, "Furthermore, if there's a hole on his sole, his light will be able to shine into Heavenly Yin World and Heavenly Yin World would become part of Xuandu. There won't be the shade of heaven anymore, and he would have one lesser flaw. However, if that happens, Heavenly Yin World will probably cease to exist."
He continued to look at the cliff with a calm expression. "These two methods I said aren't solving the chaos of the starved ghosts at its root; it's merely treating the symptoms but not the root cause. To truly solve the chaos of the starved ghosts, the starved ghosts have to be destroyed. The Life and Death Book that Son of Heaven Yin made also can't do it. The Life and Death Book can't wipe out the starved ghosts and the black sand. The black soul sand and the starved ghosts originate from the shade of heaven, so the only one that could deal with the black sand and the starved ghosts is Goddess of Heavenly Yin."
The two women nodded their heads gently.
The day seemed to stretch out forever, and the sun seemed to be hanging in the west, unwilling to go down the mountain. When everyone was anxious from waiting, the sun began to fall below the horizon slowly.
Qin Mu looked nervously at the broken cliff, and he saw darkness spewing out from the broken cliff. The darkness quickly flooded them and swept throughout the entire Great Ruins.
Qin Mu's heart sank. "Goddess has lost..."
Right at that moment, the human skin beside him suddenly broke free from the restraints and stretched out. The god of Founding Emperor inflated and looked around curiously.
Yan Jingjing was shining with divine light to block the invasion of the darkness. When she looked at Qin Mu's face, she saw that his expression was dim, and he seemed to be sad and depressed.
The god of Founding Emperor looked at his neck, and he saw a strange necklace hanging there. There was also a wooden tablet beside him, and beside the tablet was a charcoal pencil.
"What happened?" The god of Founding Emperor wrote on the wooden tablet and raised it to ask.
Qin Mu didn't say anything, and the god raised his wooden tablet again. "How did the battle go? Who won?"
Qin Mu sighed and walked into the darkness by himself. The god was in a daze, and he raised his tablet and asked, "What have I missed?"
No one replied to him.
He still wanted to raise his tablet when Qin Mu's body trembled slightly when he was in the darkness. His eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "There are very few starved ghosts in the darkness!"
Yan Jingjing, He Yiyi and the god of Founding Emperor were stunned, and Yan Jingjing was about to say something when the god had already raised his wooden tablet. "What do you mean?"
'This person really talks a lot!' Yan Jingjing and He Yiyi were astonished. If he wasn't writing on a wooden tablet and was opening his mouth to speak instead, the others probably couldn't even cut into the conversation at all.


It's estimated that about 50 million American adults don't have a credit score.
That's right — not good credit, OK credit or poor credit. We're talking no credit. And that can be a huge problem if you're unable to pay for something like a car or a home with cash and need to take out a loan to finance it. No credit score means no loan.
Don't Have a Credit Score? Do This!
Get a secured credit card: Think of these as credit cards for beginners. They work just like a credit card does, except you need to have a cash deposit to back up any usage. Usually, this cash deposit you put forward is the same amount as your credit limit. Secured cards work just as how regular credit cards do for the most part. You can charge purchases and you'll have a payment date to abide by. Any balance not paid in full is subject to interest. After you've dipped your feet in the water with a secured card, it's usually pretty easy to take the next step to an unsecured one.
Get a retail credit card: Yes, you can get some nice perks based on the store that offers it, but the real incentive is that these are usually easier cards to get approved for — even if your credit is lacking.
Find a co-signer: If you don't want to go the secured card route, consider asking a friend or family member if they'll co-sign with you on a credit card.
Ask to be an authorized user on a family member's card: Don't want to go the co-signer route? See if someone will add you as a user on their existing credit card. This can be a great way to build credit based on that card's total usage, whether it's you doing the spending or not.
Can your rent payments help you? Many landlords use rent-reporting services, which can help their tenants build credit, especially when it comes to making on-time payments. Not every scoring formula will take this into consideration, but many do.

Bread always my family favourite. And I loveee making it too! I wonder do people serve bread on tea party or potluck ! The typical kind of Chinese do not serve bread on the dinning table especially the elderly. It's the tradition to serve perfect food on the dinning table for example all kinds of meat, seafood, soup, rice and veggies. But for the younger generations, who cares about that! As long as it is food and you can eat when you're hungry...that will do! Even me, myself and the kids are the same. We take anything....he he! But NOT my hubby! He is the typical kind.
- combine yeast and milk together, leave aside for 5 mins.
- stir in all the remaining ingredients to form a soft dough.
- proof for 60 mins.
- place dough onto a slightly floured working table.
- punch the dough to release the air and slightly knead the dough for 1-2 mins.
- roll flat into oval shape and spread on the blueberry jam.
- seal the edge and roll up like Swiss roll.
- place onto a cupcake paper cup and proof for 15 mins.
- brush on egg glaze and bake for 20-25 mins at 190'c.
Spread cream cheese frosting over the bread once it's cool....yum!
I love blueberries jam in my bread. Looks really good especially with extra flavour for the topping! BUT some people can bake even better....they can actually came out something funny and really really creative for example the 'P' bread!!! ha ha ha.....I think you know what I mean! Remember the last savory bread recipe I've made....the one with ham and cheese in the middle. They all think of something else...you see...ha ha ha ! OMG... :D But we had fun, right? Cheers!
This looks tasty and yummy!!
This looks so yummy. I love the cream cheese on top.. delicious!
It must be really yummy!
Wow, so pretty! I bet these are so wonderful fresh out of the oven!
Looks very delicious indeed ... mmm, the pictures make me hungry .. it's tea time in Paris!
This looks so good (and I don't even like blueberries) I bet it would work great with apricot jam too, or raspberry or maybe apples. You just might get me to start baking if I see more of your lovely breads.
Pari : Thank you and nice to hear from you!
Donna : Glad that you like it too!
H/Housewife : Yes, it was fresh from oven! & thanks!

Many cities throughout the world are making efforts to make taxi services more women-friendly. Both men and women utilize taxi services in many large cities, especially in areas they are not familiar with. In a sense, utilizing a taxi service can be scary, because the individual may not be familiar with the area that the taxi driver is driving them through or what they will run into along the way, but in most cases, taking a taxi seems like the safe way to go for individuals who don't know their way around or don't want to fight heavy traffic. In the United States, taxi services are more readily utilized in large cities such as Chicago, New York City and San Francisco.
Some cities throughout the world are going as far as to have taxi services that are specifically and exclusively for women. For example, in Pueblo, Mexico, the city announced the availability of women-only taxi services in November, 2009. This type of transportation has been designed to offer a friendly form of transportation to women in the area. This particular service offers a fleet of 35 pink Chevy cars that are only driven by women. Each cab is equipped with beauty kits, GPS and emergency panic buttons. The service runs 24-hours a day and helps women passengers avoid the uncomfortable and unnecessary harassment sometimes made by male drivers.
This same concept has been implemented in various other countries, including the UK, Moscow, Dubai and Teheran. Moscow launched their pink taxi service in 2006 and in Dubai, women-only taxi service began in January, 2007; now women-only taxis are available in Iran. The number one reason all of these places are offering women-friendly taxi services is for reasons of safety. These types of taxi services not only help address safety issues, but they also help in creating flexible jobs for local area women. One of the main issues these pink taxi services are fighting revolves around anti-discrimination laws; however, one must question the idea that a pink taxi with a woman driver and a woman passenger may also throw a red flag out to a law breaker. This type of service seems like a really good idea initially, but it is it truly safer for the women drivers and the women passengers if everyone who is looking at the taxi knows that there is not a man present, only two vulnerable women. It stands to reason that a criminal may seek these particular taxi cabs as targets.
Bus transportation is the next main form of Public Transportation offered throughout the world. In the United States, only bigger cities have decent bus services. Bus services may be available on a limited basis in smaller cities and towns, but mainly the metropolitan cities offer the most valuable and well-used service. In smaller cities, bus services may be available, but only at certain times throughout the day. Individuals trying to make it to work on time may end up having to leave two to three hours early, because that is the only bus service available from one area to another. On that same token, the individual may be home from work much later than anticipated, depending on the number of stops or connection switches.
Cities like Seoul are establishing additional bus stops in order to provide safer commutes for women passengers traveling late at night. Buses will make these additional stops so that passengers, specifically women passengers, do not have to walk as far upon exiting and entering the bus. In some more isolated residential areas, passengers must walk a long distance to reach their final destination. These additional stops often have to be planned out ahead of time (passengers need to notify the driver of the stop), but are meant to allow women passengers to be closer to their final destination and to walk a shorter distance. Signs are set up along bus stops to encourage use of safer stops for females. Finally, Seoul buses will also be designating specific seats for pregnant women who are passengers on the bus. Designated seats will also be available for nursing mothers.
Bus stops are the next important part of making public transportation safer. Many women are not only afraid of riding on the bus, but are afraid of sitting alone in a bus shelter while they wait for the bus to arrive. Research studies have been completed regarding public transportation safety and women's views of it in San Francisco. What the studies find is that most women feel more unsafe sitting in a bus stop than they do sitting on the bus. Women who knew that there was a camera on-site did not feel more comforted. Making bus stops safer is extremely important, but transportation planners are still working on this. One thing that has been suggested is that planners take women's voices into consideration when it comes to making bus stops themselves safer.
The city of Iksan in Jeollabuk-do has now designated pink parking spots specifically for women drivers looking for a place to park in public parking lots. The city has 25 parking spots like this available in public lots, including at city hall and the library. By the end of 2009, the city made plans to install an additional 670 pink parking spots in 21 parking lots throughout the metropolitan area. Parking spots are painting using pink lines with a pink flower in the middle. Though these parking spots are generous to the population, the creators still don't get the idea of equality since the spots are purposefully made wider than normal parking spots to aid "unskilled" women drivers with easier parking. Additionally, the city will install 34 street lights and 194 guard lamps in areas of the city that are considered to have higher crime rates in an attempt to create safer streets.
In February of 2008, London announced women-friendly train carriages with guards on duty after 9:00 P.M. across London's underground network. Proposals were also made to put teams of police guards on late-night buses, because the bus system has a high record of violence and antisocial behavior. The main focus of such measures is to create a safer public transportation environment for women passengers.
Mexico City is now offering women-only bus services. Mexico City has already been focusing on women-only train services. This newer program regarding bus services is referred to as the Athena Program. Each bus that partakes in the Athena Program has a pink sign on the front, which distinguishes them from other buses. There are approximately 22 women-only buses in Mexico City, serving several busy routes each day. Women requested this service prior to 2008, because of sexual harassment, particularly groping and leering. Women-only buses and subway systems have also popped up in Egypt, India, Brazil, Taiwan, the Philippines and Japan.
Seoul has launched a complete women-friendly transportation program with the hopes of making local area transportation safer and women-friendly. Additionally, there are plans to produce a women-friendly parking area and a women-privileged parking lot. These lots will have security alarm systems, along with underground parking areas and women-friendly restrooms available.
There are many challenges with women-friendly public transportation. For example, many large cities in several countries are offering women-friendly taxi cabs. These cabs are painted bright pink and are driven by women drivers and they only pick up women passengers. These types of programs have been implemented in order to help cut down on women-targeted crimes and to make women feel safer in utilizing this type of public transportation, but could it pose as even more dangerous? If a criminal sets out to victimize a woman and he sees a bright pink cab driving through the city, will it stop him from jumping in the cab or pulling out a weapon? Some of these cabs may be equipped with GPS tracking and panic buttons, but what if someone can't hit the panic button fast enough or what if a thief makes off with a woman's purse or belongings before the police arrive? These types of questions are realistic, because it could happen. By painting the cabs bright pink, it's a red flag for someone who is looking for criminal activity.

Egypt has circulated a draft UN resolution that demands a halt to Israeli settlement activities in Palestinian territory and declares that all existing settlements "have no legal validity" and are "a flagrant violation" of international law.
The proposed resolution sent to Security Council members Wednesday evening also stresses that "the cessation of all Israeli settlement activities is essential for salvaging the two-state solution" which would see Israelis and Palestinians ..
The council scheduled a meeting at 3 p.m. EST Thursday to vote on the draft resolution.
Much of the international community considers Israeli settlements illegal and backs the establishment of a Palestinian state, even though a deal appears to be increasingly complicated, in part because of the continued growth of settlements.


Leading authority in jewellery, Fritz Falk, explains the star motif's role in a historical context, accompanying the exhibition at the Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim.
Jewellery and the universe are bound together not just in the Ancient Greek sense of the word 'cosmos'; the sun, moon and stars invariably also found their way into representative forms of art jewellery around the world. While magical, mythological and religious references stood mainly at the forefront of ancient and non-European cultures, over the course of recent history it was on decorative grounds that jewellery pieces with cosmic motifs became so coveted. Whether Köchert in Vienna, Fabergé in St Petersburg or Lalique in Paris, the great jewellers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were all inspired by heavenly forms. Today, interest in celestial bodies remains unbroken among contemporary internationally celebrated jewellery artists. With his new, richly illustrated book, the long-standing head of the Jewellery Museum Pforzheim presents for the first time a comprehensive review on the star motif in jewellery - from Ancient Egypt to the present day.
Fritz Falk, who holds a doctorate in art history and is also a master goldsmith, was the director of the Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim from 1970 to 2003. Playing a paramount role in shaping the museum collection, he presided during his tenure about 150 exhibitions with a wide-ranging thematic focus on historical and modern art of jewellery as well as ethnology. Since 2004 Fritz Falk is consultant of the Russian Museum for Ethnography, Saint Petersburg. He has written numerous publications in the fields of jewellery and ethnology.
