Many of us spend time safeguarding our homes from obvious dangers, such as trailing wires, faulty sockets and broken furniture, but there are many invisible dangers that are not obviously apparent.
These include chemicals and gases that can be toxic, causing illness and even proving fatal.
This latest guest post runs through four different hidden dangers that you might find in your home – and how you can tackle them safely and effectively.
Lead is a toxic chemical that can damage the brain, nervous system, kidneys and blood cells and can be particularly harmful to babies, children and developing foetuses. Houses that were built before the 1980s often contain lead-based paint and when this peels and flakes it releases harmful but invisible lead particles that can be inhaled. Attempts to remove the paint by scraping or sanding it will release more lead particles, so it is important to have lead-based paint professionally removed. Fences and porches are especially dangerous areas to find lead paint as it can leach into the soil of the garden.
The biggest cause of lung cancer, apart from smoking, is an invisible gas that is present in many houses. Radon is a colourless and odourless natural gas that arises from decaying uranium deep under the earth. This seeps up through the soil and can enter a house through cracks in the foundation and build up inside, especially if a house is well-insulated and offers nowhere for the radon gas to escape. The only way to detect radon is to carry out a radon test with a monitor or test kit. These are inexpensive, and can be easily purchased from specialised companies, such as PropertECO.
No matter how often you hoover your carpet, bacteria, chemicals, mould and dirt can become buried deep in the pile over time. Walking on carpets in shoes that have been outside can tread in dangerous substances from outside the house, such as pesticides and car exhaust particles. Make sure that your vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter, as this will prevent contamination being released into the air when you hoover. You should also try and have the carpets deep-cleaned on a regular basis and take off your shoes when you enter your home!
Like radon, carbon monoxide is a gas that is completely colourless, odourless and tasteless. It is produced when fossil fuels, like gas, oil or wood, are burned in an enclosed space so that oxygen is used up, causing the fuel to release carbon monoxide. This enters the bloodstream and prevents red blood cells carrying oxygen, leading to tissue and cell damage and, ultimately, death. All household appliances should be regularly serviced and maintained and a carbon monoxide alarm should be installed to warn of high carbon monoxide levels.
Armed with this new knowledge, it's important to be aware of what might be potentially harmful in your home. Sensibly assess any areas of concern and, if you suspect there may be a problem, have it professionally investigated to ensure complete safety.

Picture this: it's nighttime, and you're sitting around a campfire with your friends in the middle of the woods. You've just had dinner, and you all think it's the perfect time for some sweet dessert. But, you can't think of anything decent to make. If you've ever stumbled upon this problem, then you've come to the right place. Try my four easy camping desserts you can make when you're in the great outdoors.
This one's a no-brainer. When you go camping, the first thing you immediately think of is making s'mores around the campfire. Break the crackers and chocolate bars into smaller squares so they'll be roughly around the same size. Put a piece of chocolate on one graham cracker. Set it aside.
Take a marshmallow and toast it on the campfire. Make sure you use a long skewer. When you're satisfied with how toasted it is, place it on top of your cracker and chocolate combo. The residual heat from the marshmallow will make the chocolate melt. Place another cracker square on top of it all.
The beauty of making s'mores is that you can customise them however you like. Add peanut butter or jam. Get crazy and throw some pretzels in. You can even change up the type of cracker you want to use. Get creative!
Nothing says 'camping party' more than toasted marshmallows dipped in alcohol. Pour some Bailey's Irish Cream into a cup with a wide rim. Set it aside for now. Take some marshmallows and put them on skewers. Grill them over the campfire until they're toasted to your liking. While they're still hot, dip the toasted marshmallows in the cup of Bailey's until it's covered well.
If you don't like Bailey's, you can choose a different kind of liqueur. This camping dessert is only for adults, so keep the alcohol away from the kids.
Another entry of the list of easy camping desserts is the banana boat. Take a banana and slice it down vertically on the side that curves in. Don't slice it all the way through, or else, you'll be left with two halves – and that's not what you want. Pull the banana slightly open. This is where the fun part begins. Stuff the opening with any and as many toppings you want. You can go all out and put in the works. Or, you can keep it simple and sweet with just a little chocolate syrup, crushed nuts and mini marshmallows.
After you're done with all the toppings, wrap the whole banana in parchment paper and then aluminium foil. Place your wrapped banana boats over your grill, banana side down. Wait a few minutes, unwrap and enjoy!
This recipe is one that'll surely impress your fellow campers. The first thing you need to do is take a large sheet of foil. Make sure it's big enough to hold the entire mixture. There must also be extra space on all four sides you'll be able to fold them in. If one sheet isn't enough, you can take another and overlap them.
Next, pour out some cherry pie filling straight on the foil. The amount doesn't have to be exact. It can be as much or as little as you like. On top of that, evenly distribute about half a cup of your white cake mix. Finally, take a few slices of butter and lay them out above the cake layer.
Fold the top and bottom part of your foil to cover the mixture. Then, fold the sides in to close it up. Make sure you don't fold it too tight, or the cobbler will stick to the cover. Place the whole thing on your grill and heat it up for about 15 minutes. You can take a peek every once in a while to see if it's fully cooked. When it's done, take it off the grill and scoop some ice cream to go on top of your delicious cherry cobbler.
Some campers may find it hard to make desserts with such limited resources, but this list goes to show that you don't need fancy equipment and an ample supply of ingredients to pull it off. Follow these easy camping desserts recipes, and I bet you will be the centre of attention on your next trip. Who knows? You might even want to try them at home next time.
Are there any delicious treats you can add to this list?


When President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind act it was deemed to have a positive affect on narrowing the educational achievement gap between students. Is the NCLB act truly having a positive affect on closing this gap?
I personally, along with many others including President Obama, see the NCLB as ineffective. NCLB forces schools to teach children material in order to raise standardized test scores, rather than teaching basic fundamental principles of education. Then, if test scores are poor, schools as well as students are labeled as "failures." Another issue with NCLB is inadequate funding of schools which does not allow NCLB to work effectively.
I agree with you, Tamara. I work in an elementary school currently and I see how much of an emphasis is put on standardized tests and concentrating on those skills and ideas that are needed from the test, while maybe not always giving a well-rounded and whole education all over. The recent emphasis on standardized testing has really changed the teachers, what they teach, how they teach, and how the students learn. The teachers are having pressure put on them from administrators and it all goes back to the NCLB. I remember being in elementary school and taking standardized tests, but never specifically "training" for them or focusing on them the whole year. It has taken over a lot of the education time, but I don't think teachers have much of a choice when it comes down to it.
I agree. there should be no "training", but simply a measure of what is going on in the classroom. Standardized tests are supposed to measure skills being taught over the year, not encourage skills to be taught for passing the test. I feel like the federal gov't is dangling a carrot in front of the school in order to get them to perform.
Yes, I definitely agree with you. When I took the standardized tests I was never trained for them either, but merely prepared for them by what we were learning all year. There is absolutely way too much focus on these tests now, and unfortunately it changed and limits the way a teacher runs his or her classroom.
AND, not only are we competing for money based on test performance, but we are competing unfairly. By that I mean that in NJ we are held to a higher standard based the level of difficulty of the tests we employ, than say, South Carolina, which if I'm not mistaken, is the worst performing state in the nation. Not only are their curriculum standards lower than ours, but their standardized tests are easier. It's not a level palying field.
I agree, I don't remember training for standardized tests in elementary school either. There was never an emphasis on having to pass those tests, in fact I don't ever remember my elementary teachers making a big deal about them, because it was simply measuring what was being taught all year. With the NCLB, teachers have to spend class periods preparing students for these tests and end up teaching to the test. This only hurts the students, are they being taught the curriculum requiremtnts for that grade level, or are they just learning how to pass the test. I agree also that teachers probably don't have much of a choice because it seems that they are being judged on how well their class performs. They don't want to risk their job so they end up teaching to the test, I don't think anyone is helped by NCLB. It seems we are teaching children how to pass a test instead of focusing on what they should be learning at each grade level.
I completely agree with all of the comments mentioned. Growing up within the catholic school system, I was never "trained" to take standardized tests. The tests we were given were simply used as a measuring tool to see who was learning and who was having difficulties learning the material. If people did poorly on the test, it was a sign that a different approach would have to be used. Nowadays, I feel that there is too much emphasis on standardized testing. Instead of teaching students for their understanding and grasping of the information, students are being taught to memorize information so they can outperform other schools within the testing scores.
I personally have never had a good experience with standardized testing, such as the SAT's and GRE's. I feel that these standardized tests, as well as others, do not offer any indication as to how students are thinking critically, solving problems, or learning the information. These test scores are simply creating pressure on students and faculty to perform well instead of have any personal academic achievement. Instead of labeling students as 'failures' based on their scores, we as professionals, should be helping students undersatnd and grasp the necessary information so they too can be able to succeed within their education.
Let me say, that I do think NCLB has a lot of problems. However, I think there are a lot of good things about it, and it could have potential. From reading the law, it seems to me, that the States are able to develop their own standards, goals, plans, pick their own tests, etc. So really, it's not NCLB we have a problem with, it's NJ. Also, local agencies can choose, as can the states, whether they want to participate. I think it would be interesting, if rather than JUMPING on the money, NJ worked together, with a team of representatives from a variety of districts to develop statewide curriculum, statewide materials, statewide valid standardized tests, etc. I don't see anything there that prevents that. In fact, empirically based measures are encouraged, as is response to intervention, as an option to the discrepancy model in the law.
I think that the literacy rates in our country (check out this article http://nces.ed.gov/pubs93/93275.pdf) indicate that something needs to change.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh? When you compare, you show how things are alike. When you contrast, you show how they are different. Comparison and contrast is a useful way to organize many term papers, research reports, and feature articles.
Comparison-contrast essays can be organized two ways: point-by-point or chunk. In a point-by-point structure, you deal with each point in turn. In a chunk structure, you discuss one point completely before moving on to the next one. For example:
Point-by-Point
Chunk Structure
taxes: Town A, Town B Town A: taxes, education, recreation, jobs
education: Town A, Town B
recreation: Town A, Town B Town B: taxes, education, recreation, jobs
jobs: Town A, Town B
Use these transitions to emphasize similarities: like, likewise, similarly, in the same way, also, as, just as, both. Use these transitions to emphasize differences: instead, rather than, unlike, on the other hand, in contrast with, however, but.
How is the following passage structured, point-by-point, or chunk?
Build We Must
Western architecture traces its descent from the major public buildings in ancient Greece. Some earlier structures were built with an eye for proportion and striking decoration, but they had little influence on the evolution of building design. The Greek and Roman buildings bear some striking similarities as well as differences.
From 750 to 30 B.C.E., the Greeks created impressive temples, stoas (covered colonnades), theaters, and amphitheaters. The temples, built in marble and limestone, retained the post-and-lintel construction of the wooden originals. The temples had painted decorations and low-pitched wooden roofs. Columns had ornamental capitals—the top of the column—in one of three designs. The simplest, Doric, consisted of columns with plain molded capitals and no base. Ionic capitals were decorated with a pair of scrolls, known as volutes. Corinthian capitals, the most ornate, were decorated with an inverted bell-shaped arrangement of leaves. Prime examples include the Parthenon and Erectheum, in Athens.
From 100 B.C. to A.D. 365, the Romans, like the Greeks, built many magnificent buildings, including temples, baths, basilicas, theaters, amphitheaters, bridges, aqueducts, and triumphal arches. The materials, however, differed. The Romans used brick, stone, and concrete. Further, the Romans developed the arch and devised two other classical styles for columns, adding to the three used in ancient Greece. The Roman contribution included the Tuscan order, a plain column derived from the Greek Doric column; and the Composite, which combined Ionic scrolls with Corinthian leaves. Examples of Roman architecture include the Coliseum in Rome and the Pont du Gard in Nimes, France.
Although both the Greeks and Romans erected magnificent buildings, the Greeks used marble and limestone; the Romans, more homely materials. The Greeks created three columns; the Romans added two more. These beginnings paved the way for the development of many other styles of architecture, including the Byzantine (a combination of Roman and Eastern influence) and the Romanesque.
The chunk organization allows the writer to concentrate first on one topic and then the other. Notice how the writer used transitions to show points of similarity ("like") and difference ("however").

It's a brand new day for Uber, the transportation startup that has been caught up in a whirlwind of drama ranging from sexual harassment and culture issues to an absence of C-level leaders to a lawsuit with Waymo.
At an all-hands meeting today, Uber employees met their new leader: Dara Khosrowshahi, the former CEO of Expedia, who discussed a number of things, including how Uber should go public within the next 18 to 36 months, according to The Information's Amir Efrati, and how he has the support of former CEO Travis Kalanick.
Khosrowshahi's official first day is Tuesday, Sept. 5, but he still gave employees a taste of what to expect. For starters, his plan is to "pay the bills," focus on the core businesses and "take big shots" in building for the future, Khosrowshahi said via some tweets from Uber's communications team this morning.
WTF? If I want to know about stuff like that I don't go to a Buffy forum. I'll go to the Financial Times website. Why would I want to read this here?

How We Increased Our...
How We Increased Our Client's Leads by 751% on Less Than £1K Per Month [Case Study]
Home / How We Increased Our Client's Leads by 751% on Less Than £1K Per Month [Case Study]
It's a common misunderstanding that working with a small budget for SEO means you can't generate results. How can you possibly make enough improvements to the site in so few hours per month?
Well, for us at Tao Digital Marketing, our work with Fleetcover goes to show that results can be achieved by focusing on the most important changes in the little time you have.
In this case study, we'll break down how we increased leads by 751%, keywords by 259% and impressions by 535% on a budget of less than £1,000 / $1,347 per month, equating to one day's work. That's a small spend for SEO, but making the right changes at the right time, and focusing our efforts on the most important aspects, generated these positive results.
Our objectives were similar to what every website ultimately wants to achieve: generate leads for the business and increase online visibility for relevant search terms.
To be a little more specific, we picked this client up in March 2019, but of course, results generally started to pick up from November 2019 as Google started to crawl the site more regularly.
Our targets/KPIs for the next 12 months were based on numbers from April-November 2019, as below:
Increase leads from 175 to 500
Install a new chat function on the site and gain 50 leads through it
Increase site clicks from 2,200 to 5,000
Increase keywords ranked for from 229 to 500
The target audience was businesses that need fleet insurance. This spans a wide range of industries, from those operating coaches and taxis through to motor trade.
Our strategy focused on technical SEO and content creation. There was one big issue, though: we didn't build the site ourselves, nor did we have the level of access that would allow us to make any design or fundamental changes that could support SEO and lead generation. In turn, our strategy had to be heavily content-driven.
1. Add a chat function
In November 2019, we added the 'TawkTo' chat function to the site which has helped generate leads. After analyzing when their audience was visiting the website, we found that most users were on the site late at night and on weekends.
With their team being out of the office and unable to answer any phone calls during these timeframes, we thought it would be of value to offer an online chat function to help capture inquiries so potential customers wouldn't be put off or frustrated! This would put them at an advantage compared to their competitors who were not doing this.
We implemented the bot so it appears on the tab as a message notification, drawing people's attention to the page even when it isn't the active tab. So far, 330 inquiries have been made through this function.
Fleetcover Chat Bot
2. Implement technical SEO
Tweaks that support technical SEO are perhaps some of the most important changes you can make to see real results. We implemented this by:
Optimizing page titles
Creating meta descriptions that were between 100-155 characters, using keywords that naturally fit
Using the optimal image sizes that each website required
Using alt text for images
Implementing internal and external links where possible
Utilizing FAQ schema on the more frequently searched questions
Optimizing the sitemap by getting rid of URLs that wouldn't support organic search
Using the robots.txt file to point search crawlers in the right direction
Creating 301 redirects. There were a number of outdated pages as well as 404 errors that needed to be addressed
Making usability tweaks to the design. We were very limited in what we could achieve on the site as the incumbent were not massively helpful in terms of the access they would give us. We were able to get round this in certain areas, an example being the 'Get a Quote' buttons. We had a feeling user metrics mattered in this competitive market, so we did our utmost to capitalise on this.
3. Optimize the "Get a Quote" form
We added heat mapping and anonymized visitor recording to the site. When we analyzed the data, it became very apparent that many people weren't filling out the "Get a Quote" form due to it being too long — like standing at the bottom of a mountain, trying to work out the right route to the top! The original form had almost 10 questions, which overwhelmed the user and resulted in low conversion rates.
Step one of Fleetcover Quote form
Step two of Fleetcover Quote form
We've had great success using multi-step forms on other client's sites, so we decided to create one for Fleetcover. We had all the questions needed to provide a full quotation, but split it all up into easier-to-digest tabs and user-designed icons, rather than just text.
Our new form was built creatively and had four steps, making the process easier. With this change alone, leads from the form grew from 175 before November 2019 to 1,489 over the past 12 months (751% increase).
4. Focus heavily on content creation
Example of Fleetcover service page (HGV fleet insurance)
Content creation is an area where we really got the chance to demonstrate creative flair alongside data analysis. We started by reviewing Fleetcover's service pages, and fleshed out the content to make it more engaging.
Example of Fleetcover service page (FAQs)
Keyword research and search intent
Over time, we continued to research keywords, focusing heavily on understanding the search intent behind them, and creating detailed content and FAQs to meet the audience's needs and Google's understanding of those intents.
One topic we've been focusing on is the rise of electric vehicles and how this will grow and affect the insurance industry. As the development and popularity of these vehicles progresses, we're going to look at how we can use this in our content strategy.
Formatting and style
Including clear, natural CTAs at the end of each piece was really important, not only to round out the articles, but also to encourage readers to use Fleetcover's broker service. See an example from our piece about business car insurance below.
In addition, utilizing a simple but effective tone of voice helped to meet the needs of potential consumers and give them the information they need in a straightforward way. When focusing on keywords/phrases that contain industry jargon, we always include information about what the word or phrase means for those with informational intent about a particular topic, for example 'fleet breakdown cover'.
We achieved the goal of gaining more sales, as website conversion rates jumped from 3% to 14%, and leads increased from 175 to 1,489 (751%). This massive increase (pleasantly) surprised us as we are working with a site with a domain authority of 22 in a competitive industry, so to achieve these results so quickly was a great boost for both ourselves and Fleetcover.
Fleetcover was previously spending a considerable amount on purchasing leads from other companies, whereas now they have invested into SEO, which has significantly increased the number of leads they generate. With SEO, these leads are of a higher quality than PPC leads, and are therefore more likely to use their services. There is little need for Fleetcover to purchase leads now, as the business is becoming its own profitable arm of Walmsleys Insurance Brokers.
We've helped Fleetcover gain online visibility for certain keywords such as "fleet insurance brokers" (#1) and "fleet insurance quote" (#2). Their positioning for "Fleet breakdown cover" has also moved from #15 to #4, and "fleet insurance quote" has moved from #10 to #2. The main benefit of these ranking improvements is the huge increase in traffic!
We also gained top spot for the main keyword of "fleet insurance", but this has since been taken by one of the juggernauts (excuse the pun) of the industry. We'll be back, but for now, domain authority reigned supreme.
In April 2019, Fleetcover was only ranking for 229 keywords, and they now rank for 824, a 259% increase.
As mentioned, we saw results beginning in November as Google crawled the site more actively and found more relevant content. Therefore, April – November 2019 is our "before" comparison for what we've managed to achieve over the past 12 months:
April – November 2019:
Impressions: 296,000
Clicks: 2,220
November 2019 – November 2020:
Impressions: 1,880,000 (up 322%)
Clicks: 6,470 (up 194%)
Thanks to more than exceeding our set KPI goals, we were shortlisted for three SEO awards this year, and Fleetcover's CEO had only good things to say:
"For years we've been looking for a company to do exactly what you have done and I can honestly say in 12 years of being involved in marketing, this is the first time that any marketing company has proactively gone ahead and done something for us in this way. I've whinged about it for so long that it made my day when it dropped in my inbox. Really chuffed."
Well, that just speaks for itself, doesn't it?

VENEZUELA - U.S. AID GAMBIT FAILS - WAR PLANS LACK SUPPORT
The opposition in Venezuela will probably use access to that 'frozen' money to buy weapons and to create an army of mercenaries to fight a 'civil' war against the government and its followers. Like in Syria U.S. special forces or some CIA 'contractors' will be eager to help. The supply line for such a war would most likely run through Colombia. If, like 2011 in Syria, a war on the ground is planned it will likely begin in the cities near that border.
The U.S. is using the pretext of 'delivering humanitarian aid' from Columbia to Venezuela to undermine the government and to establish a supply line for further operations. It is another attempt to pull the military onto the coup plotter's side:
[I]f the trucks do get across, the opposition can present itself as an answer to Venezuela's chronic suffering, while Mr. Maduro will appear to have lost control of the country's borders. That could accelerate defections from the ruling party and the military.
Dimitris Pantoulas, a political scientist in Caracas, called the opposition's aid delivery plan a high-stakes gamble.
"This is 99 percent about the military and one percent about the humanitarian aspects," he said. "The opposition is testing the military's loyalty, raising their cost of supporting Maduro. Are they with Maduro, or no? Will they reject the aid? If the answer is no, then Maduro's hours are numbered.

Hibs extended their Europa League odyssey on a nerve-shredding night in Greece after a 1-1 draw with Asteras Tripolis propelled the Capital club through successive rounds in continental competition for the first time in 45 years.
John McGinn opened the scoring for the visitors before the break to extend their aggregate lead to 4-2 before Tripolis responded through Kosmas Tsilianidis even though the home side had Michael Manias sent off for two bookings moments earlier.
Despite Hibs' numerical superiority, it was Savvas Pantelidis' side who finished the second leg on the ascendency, squandering several notable chances against an excellent Adam Bogdan.
French referee Benoit Millot's final whistle was warmly greeted by the Hibs players and around 1,500 travelling supporters as Neil Lennon's side set up a third qualifying round clash with Norwegian side Molde.
UEFA, however, are likely to take a dim view of the flares, including one thrown on to the pitch following McGinn's strike and smoke bombs that were set off by the Hibs fans.
The significant pre-match team news for the visitors was that influential striker Flo Kamberi was deemed fit to start despite sitting out the previous evening's training session due to a knee complaint.
The Swiss, whose right leg was heavily strapped, lined up alongside Martin Boyle in attack as Lennon made one change, David Gray replacing Steven Whittaker, from the team that produced a stirring comeback to win the first leg 3-2.
Despite an afternoon deluge of rain hampering the vocal travelling support's alfresco drinking in the Peloponnese capital, the pitch was in perfect condition on a balmy night under the floodlights.
In a ground named after venerated Greek general Theodoros Kolokotronis, who oversaw the bloody war of independence against the Ottoman Empire between 1821 and 1829, Hibs began the match determined to hold their ground behind enemy lines.
A slow start to the game suited Hibs as they settled into the unfamiliar surroundings but captain Gray was twice called upon in quick succession from the seventh minute to make timely interceptions.
The right wing-back did well to clear a menacing cross from Ioannis Kotsiras before the 2016 Scottish Cup winning hero took the ball off the feet of Manias as the striker was about to shoot from inside the box.
The Leith side were struggling to retain the ball for any sustained period during the early jostling, although fashioned the first meaningful opening in the 14th minute.
Vykintas Slivka's deft pass found the unmarked Boyle just six yards out but a poor first touch allowed Jose Luis Valiente to recover and make the block on the shot.
Hibs kept up the pressure from the corner and Boyle then had a low drive from the corner of the box saved by Giorgos Athanasiadis at the goalkeeper's near post.
Watching on from the modest main stand, Hibs manager Lennon, who was serving a final UEFA ban, would have been relatively content by his side's start.
Indeed, the Easter Road side registered another shot on target in the 19th minute, albeit Stevie Mallan's ambitious free-kick from 30 yards was comfortably held by Athanasiadis.
A dramatic ending to the half saw Hibs draw first blood after riding their luck at the other end.
Defender Paul Hanlon prevented what would have been easy tap in for Nikos Kaltsas at the back post with a crucial headed clearance in the 40th minute before Kosmas Tsilianidis glanced a header off the bar from Giorgos Kiriakopoulos' corner.
The visitors then stormed ahead two minutes before the interval when Kamberi dispossessed the dithering Mathias Iglesias before setting McGinn free, and the Celtic-target forced a shot across the goalkeeper into the net to spark joyous scenes in the stand behind the goal.
An encouraging performance got even better for Hibs three minutes after the restart when Manias, just moments after having a shot blocked by goalkeeper Bogdan, collected a second booking for a late challenge on Hanlon.
However, the hosts breathed fresh life into the tie by levelling on the night in the 56th minute.
Tsilianidis turned Efe Ambrose outside the area and struck a low left-footed drive beyond Bogdan from 18 yards.
Hibs were rattled as Asteras went about turning the tie in their favour. Bogdan palmed a rising drive from Ioannis Kotsiras over the bar before getting down so substitute Taso Douvikas' header.
Iglesias then headed wide from close range before frantic appeals for a penalty were waved away after Douvikas went down under a challenge from Bogdan.
The Hibs keeper was his team's saviour again in the 83rd minute with another save to deny Kotsiras.
But Hibs were able to see the game out to cap another memorable European night.
Asteras Tripolis: Athanasiadis, Kotsiras, Triantafyllopoulos, Valiente (Salas 90), Kiriakopoulos, Iglesias, Bellocq (Douvikas 57), Kaltsas (Rolle 78), Munafo, Tsilianidis, Manias. Subs not used: Papadopoulos, Christopoulos, Martinez, Bastianos.

After passing an extensive background check and being vetted by the CIA (Claus Intelligence Agency), I was granted an exclusive one-on-one interview with Santa Claus, one of the most legendary leaders of all time. I was eager to learn the secrets of his success. How does he maintain passion for his work after all these years? What's the trick for keeping his team of elves inspired to perform their best? And the most nagging question of all: Does he have a dress code at the North Pole? I mean, I always see him and the elves wearing the same clothes. What's the deal with that?
Below is an excerpt of the conversation I had with Santa.
Me: Thank you, Santa, for taking the time to meet with me. You must be anxious and stressed about all the work you need to accomplish prior to Christmas.
Santa: Ho, ho, ho! It's my pleasure Randy! I'm not stressed, I'm energized! I love the work I do and consider myself blessed to be able to bring happiness and joy to so many people.
Me: Santa, I know you've got a lot on your plate and eager to get back to the North Pole and Mrs. Claus, so I'll ask this one final question: If you could give one piece of advice to leaders reading this article, what would it be?
What a cool interview. You know what I like best about Santa's answer: The fact that he loves his job. I really believe that is the condition to deliver outstanding results; even when things are getting rough. I do not mean that it never rains on your parade if you love your job but you can make the Sunshine come back if you do.
I love your perspective Brigitte! Merry Christmas to you too!


A recent article in the newspaper regarding the death of children in Yemen due to malnourishment made me wonder what situation in our country is like. Well, the situation is no better than Yemen.
The major malnourished states of the country include Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh. Rajasthan and Maharashtra also come in the list of states prominent with malnutrition. With the world's largest programme to combat malnutrition – Integrated Child Development Scheme – India has still proved to be incapable of eliminating this blot. What haunts my mind is that in a country of billions, where 60 per cent of its population continues to be engaged in agriculture, we are unable to meet the food demand in the country. A country famous for being one of the top food-producers in the world is also infamous for being a country with substantial section of population being malnourished. If we look at the statistics, the numbers are disappointing. About 38 per cent of the children under five are affected by stunting and about 21 per cent of children under 5 have been defined as 'wasted' or 'severely wasted' – which means that they do not weigh enough for their height. Moreover, 51 per cent of the women of reproductive age suffer from anemia and more than 22 per cent of adult women are overweight. For the sake of comparison, the percentage of overweight men in the country is much lower and stands at 16 per cent of adult men.
Malnutrition in children is caused due to malnutrition in mothers. Unless there is a healthy mother, there can't be a healthy child. A pregnant woman must be given a highly nutritious meal, but due to poverty and illiteracy, mothers are not taken good care of and therefore their health tends toward malnutrition. Malnutrition should not be considered a disease, rather it is directly linked with people's purchasing power and household economy. It can be very well tackled with the right food intake in the right quantity. The basic problem lies in lack of awareness among wider masses regarding food and nutrition. They eat whatever fills their stomach not knowing whether it is good for health or not. There is no one to tell them about the health benefits of each and every food they eat.
Gender inequality is also witnessed in Indian villages, which is another significant factor affecting malnutrition, especially among girls. A girl is given less food to eat, compared to her male sibling. This bias comes because of a centuries-old misconception that boys need more energy to work out in the field during daytime. A girl is cursed if she eats more because it would make her lazy, while a boy is encouraged to eat more or else he would become weak.
Improper sanitation helps in disease creation. Most villages in our country have open uncovered drains that are breeding ground for various diseases. Majority of the population living in villages defecate in open – near river banks or on the agricultural fields. Rain washes these faeces and drains them into the river or seeps them into the soil. This contaminated water is consumed by people and animals, creating a havoc of diseases. When we talk about cleanliness, we should not only talk about the cleanliness of our surrounding, but also of ourselves.
Self-cleanliness is of utmost importance because it is we who are the vectors for various diseases. One such aspect of cleanliness that has been neglected from times immemorial is the period of menstrual cycle in reproductive women. Women undergo hormonal changes each month leading to menstruation. Women in villages use clothes as a protection against stains, which they use again and again. Thus, the cloth becomes a breeding ground for deadly bacteria and pathogens which may enter the uterine cavity of the subject and cause uterine infection. To prevent this use of sanitary pads is necessary. They are clean and sterile, and also can be used only once, therefore eliminating the chance of reuse. Communities must be made aware of the benefits of such sanitary pads and their use must be promoted. In urban areas, these sanitary pads are very expensive, and only a few afford to use them. Contrary to popular belief, these pads can be manufactured using simple raw materials and communities can be trained to manufacture these pads for the welfare of the society and also for economical purposes. Environics Trust is manufacturing such sanitary pads that are low cost but highly efficient. The initiative has received tremendous appreciation from all parts of the society.
To eradicate malnutrition, the first and foremost goal must be to provide access to nutritious food and clean drinking water for every individual. The Environics Trust has been addressing to minimize malnutrition directly and indirectly – directly by promoting mushroom cultivation and indirectly by skill enhancement aimed at income generation. Oyster mushrooms are alternate source of nutritional food from agricultural wastes. Oyster mushrooms are a goldmine of nutrition. They are easy to grow, require minimum input and can be introduced in our staple diet. These can be incorporated into the government mid-day meal scheme to ensure that children may get adequate nutrition for healthy growth and development. Mushroom cultivation in villages can emerge as a new self-employment opportunity for the villagers. With this, they can fill their stomach as well as their families' stomachs without any gender bias. People can get employed too.
One more initiative to fight malnutrition could be to provide education on the subject of food and nutrition. In every village, we should set up programmes where the importance of food and nutrition will be discussed and people will be enlightened with the health benefits. To provide access to clean drinking water, we can help install efficient and inexpensive water purifier systems in every household. Technology must not be confined to the cities; it must reach the needy and contribute in the uplifting of their lives. With the advancement of science and technology, eradicating malnutrition seems easy and we must pledge to achieve this milestone in another half of a decade.

» Feb 26, 2019: Texton Property Fund and Truworths have signed a long-term lease for the prominent high street shop in central Durban – one of the group's biggest stores in the country.
Truworths has renewed its lease of over 5000 square meters of retail space in a six-storey mixed-use building acquired by Texton in 2015. The 11 200 square meter property comprises of four floors of retail space, anchored by Truworths, OK Furniture, Cell C and Bargain Basket. The two top floors are dedicated to office space and storage facilities.
The Truworths store is located with its shopfront facing the busy Dr Pixley KaSeme Street – bounded by Dr Yusuf Dadoo Street, Joe Slovo and Anton Lembede Streets in the heart of Durban's CBD 'Golden Mile'.
"We are pleased to extend our relationship with Truworths for its Durban city store. The property offers Truworths the key advantages of being well situated with high exposure to consumers, which supports its good trading in a well-maintained property with fair lease terms" commented Marius Muller, CEO of Texton Property Fund.
The property is in a desirable retail location, which enjoys robust national retailer demand because of its substantial volumes of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. It is close to commuter networks in a high growth node which has seen plenty of rejuvenation and reinvestment in the buildings immediately surrounding it, including several residential conversions.
The Truworths deal is one of several leasing triumphs recently achieved by Texton in South Africa.
In the final quarter of 2018, Texton leased more than 31,000 square meters of space in 25 deals. Most contracts were signed for terms of one to three years, positioning Texton to benefit rapidly from any future upside in the local property market. The average annual contractual escalation of these leases is 8%.
Muller reports that Texton has also experienced good uptake of space at its newly refurbished Bryanston Gate, including a high level of tenant retention. Furthermore, the REIT recently renewed the Department of Public Works in more than 25,400 square meters at the Foretrust buildings and 14 Loop Street in Cape Town.

With an accuracy of 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) and a range of 120 ft (35 m), it's an excellent measuring tool for interiors in small projects.
The Bosch GLM 35 is an excellent choice for Architects who don't visit site very often. It is, for us, one of the Best Laser Measures for Architects.
With a few more features than its small brother the Bosch GLM 20, it's the perfect choice to get started with if you want a bit more range than the one offered by the GLM 20. Moreover, the extra functions such as area, volume and addition/subtraction modes can be very useful depending on the type of job you do. For example, if you use areas as part of the initial information to provide a very quick estimation of costs, the Bosch GLM 35 will calculate them for you.
With an accuracy of 1/16 inch (1.5 mm), you can't get any better than that even with the most high-end products.
Its 120 feet (35 m) range makes the Bosch GLM 35 the perfect companion for Architects working on housing renovations or other small to medium size projects (unless you find a very long corridor, in which case you should get rid of it in any case).
A compact product that will fit in your pocket. Dimensions are 4.1 x 1.6 x 0.9 inches (10,4 x 4,0 x 2,3 cm). Smaller than a smartphone. Even smaller than a Nokia 3310.
You will find a lot of low-quality products claiming a certain accuracy but not being able to deliver it consistently. With the Bosch GLM 35, however, you get the accuracy of high-end products for the price of a low-end one. This is another of the most shared praises on the Amazon reviews.
Work only on small to medium size projects.
In small to medium size projects due to its range (120 feet (35 meters)).


We're about 2 weeks away from the official start of summer, but it's 90 degrees here in the Sacramento Valley so summer has pretty much arrived! We're basically swimming in strawberries at our house because, well, what's not to love about strawberries?! I don't think I've ever met a person who doesn't adore them! You can make just about anything with them from sweet (like my Strawberry Balsamic Coconut Cream Popsicles & Chocolate Strawberry Hearts) to savory dishes, they never let you down, amiright?! These Strawberry Ceviche Avocado Boats are on the savory side because all I can think about in this heat is fresh juicy strawberries, avocado and seafood! It was only natural to combine them into a fun and fresh new recipe, one that will take you away to Cabo with the first bite.
I always feel like it's summer as soon as these beautiful ruby red berries start popping up here in Northern California. California Strawberries have my heart, I remember as a kid, we used to grow them in our back yard and I always hated when the snails got ahold of them, like seriously the worst thing to discover as a strawberry loving child, all your strawberries eaten by these little pests! Luckily my grandparents lived just down the street with raised planters full of strawberries, so we never went without. My grandma always made gobs of jam during the summer, some of my fondest memories are making fruit jams in the kitchen with her. As kids my cousins and I used to slather her strawberry jam all over homemade bread and devour it all summer long! My face was always sticky with strawberry jam at grandma's house, it was a special time and place!
Sadly I don't have any strawberry plants right in my own backyard anymore, but I really don't have to worry because they are available year round! California produces 90% of the nations strawberries, so cool right? I love that I can find my beloved Organic California Strawberries at the farmer's markets and grocery stores for just a few bucks during the peak season! It's better than Christmas in my opinion! I picked up a big flat of them at the market to create these dreamy Strawberry Ceviche Avocado Boats. They're a perfect no cook recipe to add to your list so you don't have to turn on the oven and heat up the house when it's unbearable outside!
You may not have thought that strawberries could work in a recipe like this, but I assure you that strawberries make a great substitute for tomatoes. Like tomatoes they are high in acidity and are sweet, but not too sweet! What's great is that there is an abundance of ripe strawberries right now so they are a wonderful addition to many savory dishes instead of tomatoes.
Here are some reasons (as if you already needed them) to be loving more on these beautiful little berries!
-They are rich in Vitamin C! One serving of 8 Strawberries will give you more than an orange!
-They are lower in sugar compared to other fruits but packed full of flavor!
-These cute little berries are red to remind you they are packed full of nutrients that may help reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. This is an important one to my family as my husband is a stroke survivor!
Cut your avocados in half and remove the pit. Squeeze lime juice on top, sprinkle salt on them, place on a serving dish and set aside.
Chop shrimp into bite sized pieces. In a medium shallow container add the shrimp, lime juice, strawberries, onions, cilantro and jalapeño. Let marinate until the shrimp is no longer see-through but opaque, about 10 to 20 minutes.
After shrimp has marinated, add salt and pepper to taste and mix the ceviche well.
Add the ceviche to the center of each avocado boat. Garnish with more cilantro, strawberries and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve chilled.
I hope you love the recipe, and don't for get to get your 8 a day! For more delicious strawberry recipes and inspiration visit the California Strawberries Website!

I shot Rob and Shayda's wedding many years ago now, and it's still to this day one of my favourite shoots ever! So I was thrilled when they asked me to take some photos of their adorable family before they pack up and move across the country for a little while.
Such fun catching up with old friends.

Now I call the next test method in loop several times and in several threads:
(personIdList is a List and was filled previously)
txManager.startTransaction();
Query query = getSession().getNamedQuery("PersonBookDTO.getBooksByPersonIdList");
query.setParameterList("personIdList", personIdList);
List<PersonBookDTO> =  query.list();
txManager.commitTransaction();
txManager.closeTransaction();

When I collected hibernate 2nd level cache statistis I've seen that only PersonDTO was taken from cache during the loop.
name: com.test.dao.dto.PersonDTO
count: 13
hit: 4
miss: 4
put: 13
size: 35389

and PersonBookDTO was only written
name: com.test.dao.dto.PersonBookDTO
count: 29
hit: 0
miss: 0
put: 29
size: 38194

I've enabled TRACE level for ehCache. Here's a part of log:
TRACE [ReadWriteCache] Caching: com.test.dao.dto.PersonBookDTO#8348946
TRACE [ReadWriteCache] Cached: com.test.dao.dto.PersonBookDTO#8348946

Maybe someone can explain this behavoir. Thanks!
UPDATE: this reproduces with all queries which returns Lists of DTOs. session.read(PersonBookDTO) reads from cache normally.

A: Results of explicit query are fetched from the second level cache only when query cache is turned on and enabled for that query (by setting appropriate query hints). So, if you want to cache results of the query, you need to enable query cache.
If you want to retrieve entity data from the second level cache, but don't want to retrieve query result as a whole from the query cache, you can run a query for ids and then fetch entities with those ids manually.

Q: Return database results as json or html I created a filter form and when I submit that form, it sends an ajax request to give_results_json.php, and then at back-end give_results_json.php does a query to the database and returns data in JSON format.
Method1
give_results_json.php
 $rows = $pdo->query($query);
 echo json_encode($rows);

returned data
[{"title":"Top Class home",,"cnt_rooms":3,"floor":1,"square_living":372},{"title":"Home of Dreams",,"cnt_rooms":4,"floor":2,"square_living":374}....]

Then I handle this data with jQuery to display the data in HTML form
json data Handled at front end by Jquery
function property_str(value_obj){
return '

<

'+value_obj.title+'

<
'+value_obj.cnt_rooms+' Rooms

'+value_obj.square_living+' Sq Ft

';
 }
   $('#filter_form').on("submit",function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    $.ajax({
        type: 'get',
        url: "give_results_json.php",
        data: $(this).serialize(),
        success: function(data){
                json_obj = $.parseJSON(data);
                var result_str =''
                $.each(json_obj, function(index,value){
                    result_str +=  property_str(value)
                });
                $("#filter_results").html(result_str)
        }});
       });

Is above method is correct, Or shall it is better to handle the data at the backend and return HTML result already, And then javascript only need to append that data to the page
so give_results_json.php will become give_results_html.php
Method 2
give_results_html.php
$rows = $pdo->query($query);
foreach($rows as $row){
   $complete_html_str .=  '

<

'.$row['title'].'

<
'.$row['cnt_rooms'].' Rooms

'+$row['square_living']+' Sq Ft

';
  }

echo $complete_html_str;

returned data

<

Top Class home

<
3 Rooms

'+374 Sq Ft

...........

can be easily handled at front-end by Jquery
 $.ajax({
        type: 'get',
        url: "give_results_json.php",
        data: $(this).serialize(),
        success: function(data){
                $("#filter_results").html(data)
        }});

Note: in actual, there is lot more data returned from the database, there are around 20 columns but I need to get data for 20 rows at once
Thanks!

A: I'd say method 2 is wrong because it returns the VIEW layer (HTML markup). this should not be the case. you should separate DATA from VIEW. Method 2 doesn't do that. Method 1 is way better, although I'd also change the method to use jquery object creation instead of returning plain html. Right now it looks like the property_str was actually filling a template with data. this is working and readable, but not really considered "jquery way".

Preview: Wally on the key challenge facing Wimbledon
Quotes from both camps ahead of The Dons v Barnsley
By Chris Slavin
Wally Downes has spoken about getting the best from his players ahead of a busy week of league and cup action, starting against Barnsley on Saturday.
The Dons face in-form promotion hopefuls Barnsley tomorrow, before hosting Fleetwood on Tuesday night, and then West Ham in the Emirates FA Cup.
Barnsley have taken 14 points from the last 18 on offer with German manager Daniel Stendel guiding them up to fifth in the League One table.
However, Wimbledon go into an important week on home turf in good form at the Cherry Red Records Stadium. Since Wally Downes was appointed as manager, the Dons have won two and drawn two out of four home games.
Below are quotes from both camps, plus stats, ahead of the game.
Wally Downes
"The key challenge is getting us out of the position that we are in. We've played well and picked up points, but our position hasn't changed. It's important that I get into the minds of the players as it's about focusing solely on what's in front of us and that's winning the next game. It's no good looking further ahead or looking at league tables, positions, or points we are going to need. We need to break it down and get it down to winning the next game. That's the focus we are on.
"Barnsley are very energetic, they press high, and they are confident. Their league position reflects that, but they are going to know that they are in a game. We have to match them early on and try to grind out the win. The week starts with Barnsley and if we can get a good start in that one it puts us into Fleetwood and then anything can happen in the FA Cup game. It all starts with the first-half against Barnsley and we have to make sure we give a good account of ourselves then."
Andreas Winkler (Assistant Manager at Barnsley)
"We expect a really hard fight on Saturday; they defend as a group and play very direct to their centre forwards. There's a lot of experience in their squad. It's not Bradford at home – Bradford are a strong side and had a good run – and now we have to show the same performance away and play at that level, which is not always easy. We have to be humble and make the players aware that every point in this league is hard to win. We won't underestimate them.
"We can put the pressure on Wimbledon from the first minute – that's our style. We can do it differently from the last match on Oakwell against Bradford. We need to be switched on from the first second, put pressure on them and show that it's really hard to play against us whether at home or away."

The Dons showed plenty of grit up in Yorkshire to earn a point at Oakwell. Wimbledon could even have won it with Kwesi Appiah having a goal ruled out for offside. Tom Soares also came close to a goal for Wimbledon, but Barnsley had their chances too on the day.

1986: A Quick 5
We continue our journey through 1986 - but briefly today. Just a quick five.
Invaders from Mars
dir: Tobe Hooper
scr: Don Jakoby/Dan O'Bannon, from the 1953 screenplay by Richard Blake
What on earth is Hooper going for here? Usually, I like something about his films - Lifeforce's opening sequence, Funhouse's tension, Eaten Alive's central performance - but this left me cold. A wasted cast led by a nightmarish child.
[great horror and Bowie in foine form, after the jump]
dir: Oliver Stone
scr: Richard Boyle/Stone
Oscar Nominee: Best Actor (James Woods), Best Original Screenplay
Stone's usual subtlety means a clunky first ten minutes, but the rest of it is truly engrossing, thanks in no small part to Woods' performance as a self-confessed weasel of a photojournalist who becomes personally involved and disgusted with the US-backed atrocities he encounters in El Salvador.
dir: Lamberto Bava
scr: Dario Argento/Lamberto Bava/Franco Ferrini/Dardano Sacchetti, story by Sacchetti
Blood, guts and pus in this Italian horror set inside a cinema during a special screening - where the feature presentation is DEATH. The makeup effects are disgusting. The four young leads are hot. And there are characters doing blow out of a Coke can. What's not to love?
Down and Out in Beverly Hills
dir: Paul Mazursky
scr: Leon Capetanos/Mazursky, from the play Boudu Saved from Drowning by René Fauchois
Low-key comedy slowly develops into full-on zaniness. A satisfyingly funny satire of survivor's remorse, LA's guru-therapy culture, and Beverly Hills society. Some of Dreyfuss's best work.
dir: Jim Henson
scr: Terry Jones, story by Henson/Dennis Lee
Someone made a movie based on the diary entries of every girl I've been friends with since middle school - thank goodness! David Bowie provides great tunes and a suitably mystical presence as the Goblin King. Impressive puppetry from Henson's troupe. Inventive, and with a certain sweetness that sneaks up on ya.

The mother had been waiting for two of her four children to get off the school bus at the time of the incident. As a result, one of the children was pinned under the bus and had to be rescued by the FDNY and NYPD Emergency Services Unit, who used a jack to lift the bus.
"When the Mercedes hit the woman, the woman flies and hit the ground and the kid was shivering," one witness told ABC 7 News.
Hatzolah transported the 41-year-old mother, 1-year-old daughter, 3-year-old son, 5-year-old daughter, and 8-year-old daughter. to the hospital in stable condition. According to Yeshiva World News, the mother was transferred to the ICU, while two of the children have been released.

USA's Temptation Island: Grade It!
By Dave Nemetz / January 15 2019, 7:59 PM PST
Courtesy of USA Network
Pack up your swimsuits and pre-write your apology letters: Yep, we're heading back to Temptation Island. The infamous Fox reality show, which took couples unsure about the future of their relationships and put them on an island filled with dozens of sexy singles, is back for an all-new season on USA Network — and look, original host Mark L. Wahlberg is back, too! (Hey, if Chris Harrison can host The Bachelor for nearly two decades, why can't he?)
Based on Wednesday's premiere, this Island will faithfully follow the established Fox format, with four couples going on a "journey" (get ready to hear that word a lot) to put their relationships to the test by… um, dating 24 other people. As the four couples sail to the island, we meet them:
* Javen and Shari, both 25: These high school sweethearts have been together since they were 16, and have lived together for five years, but they're not ready to rush into marriage yet. They do have some baggage, though: She caught him cheating a few years ago, and still doesn't fully trust him. (File that one away for later.)
* John, 35, and Kady, 30: This Southern-fried duo met on Bumble, and they like to go out and shoot things for fun. Their issue: John's not enough of a manly man… at least by Kady's standards. "Kady questions my masculinity a couple times a week," he says (???). She wants a take-charge alpha male, it seems, and he freely admits he is not that. OK!
* Nicole, 25, and Karl, 31: They're both fitness freaks, but they have trust issues. She was dating someone else when they met, and broke up with her then-boyfriend to date Karl… who is keenly aware of this. "If she could do it to him," he reasons, "it could happen to me as well." She's also insecure about their age gap, and worries that he'll make a deeper connection with a more mature woman.
* Evan and Kaci, both 28: These two goofballs met at age 19 and have dated on and off ever since. Her family is staunchly religious, and chides them for living together before getting married. "This is not what I had planned for my daughter," her mother weeps. (Wait till she's on Temptation Island, Mom!) Evan's story is crazy: His dad cheated on his mom, and then was murdered by the woman he was cheating with… so he understandably has some relationship hang-ups. If he doesn't propose by age 30, though, she warns him that "there's a million dudes out there that are gonna ask me to marry them."
The four couples arrive on the island and are greeted by Wahlberg, who leads them to a plush beach resort and pours them some sponsored Freixenet sparkling wine. He asks them how they're feeling… and ominously warns them they have no idea what they're in for. That resort is just for the guys, though; Wahlberg takes them to another, even more luxurious mountain villa, where the women will stay. ("More room for muscles," Kady observes. Poor John!) The drama kicks off when a waterfall suddenly starts rushing by the pool, and the 24 singles line up seductively behind it. It's temptation time!
The singles introduce themselves, with the usual blend of flight attendants, startup CEOs, yoga instructors and gals with their "butt cheeks out." A few of the highlights: Roman, a Southern gentleman who instantly gets John worried; a Cuban lover named Carlos; Val, a Brooklyn barber and admitted mama's boy ("The only thing she taught me was how to treat a lady right" — that's the only thing???) and well-endowed Southern belle Katheryn. Shari's claws are out right away: She sniffs, "I'm not too impressed," as the single girls walk out, and angrily stews the whole time they're talking. Then when Javen dares to say the lineup looks bad for the girls, she snaps at him: "Oh, so you think it's good for you?" They fight, making the other couples uncomfortable while the single girls giggle at the chaos they've created.
The next morning, they're still fighting when the single guys come in to whisk the four women away to a cocktail party. Of course, the single girls quickly appear to fill the void. Kady gets close with Carlos: "You seem very deep and very passionate… my boyfriend is not." (Seriously, John, get out while you can.) Evan makes a beeline for yoga instructor Brittany: After they take a deep meditative breath together, they discover they went to high school in the same town! Javen connects with flight attendant Jeffri, who throws some shade Shari's way, calling her "a hard one to love." Katheryn the Southern belle wastes no time cozying up to John, cooing: "Let's be best friends… and maybe even lovers!"
The couples have a chance to block all these connections, though, Wahlberg explains: They can assign a necklace to one of the singles, which would prevent that single from dating their partner. (They can still spend time with them in the house; they just can't go on a date until the final week.) Kady jumps at the chance to block Katheryn, and it's probably a smart choice. John admits he thinks she's "the hottest out of all of them." He, meanwhile, blocks Roman the "country boy" from dating Kady. The other couples choose not to utilize the necklace block, while Katheryn insists she'll just "pretend this isn't even here," and treat John like "he's a boyfriend… which he probably will be." Oh, she's trouble, that one.
At their last dinner together, the couples confess to their fears about what's to come… and Javen and Shari are still on shaky ground. This is the last time they'll have together until they leave the island, so Wahlberg encourages them all not to leave anything unsaid. The three other couples hug and kiss and exchange loving sentiments, while Javen and Shari continue bickering, with her stiffly hugging him when it's time to go. "I'm sure you're gonna have fun," she adds snidely. And in the season preview, we do see a lot of fun: exotic fantasy dates, massages, twerking and conga lines. Plus, a lot of crying, a lot of kissing, someone hooking up in a dark room, and someone lamenting that "Temptation Island got the best of me." Welcome back!

A: So I highly recommend you not run sudo before you understand how permissions work.
In the long run, having a version management will save you time and headaches. You can either choose RVM or Rbenv.
Here's a link on how to install RVM onto your ubuntu.
https://github.com/rvm/ubuntu_rvm
After that, you can simple do rvm install 2.3.3 or rvm install any_version to install a ruby version.
Then you do gem install bundler
gem install rails
This way, all your gems will be installed only under a certain version of ruby. You don't need to gain elevated permission and avoid using sudo command.
To clean up what you did.
