In my prior article , I introduced the new trend of men and women locating ways to cut their cable charges. Laola1 is not the ideal spot for most well-liked sport events, they are a lot more focused on sports and leagues who are more underappreciated. Right here we will show you some added streaming software's that you can use in combination with above talked about websites to get most of free streaming. Regardless of what you are searching for these possibilities are a excellent way to get access to motion pictures and Television shows. From Super Sunday to Monday Evening Football and more, Sky Sports 1 brings the greatest football action from around the country and beyond. The station is notable in that it is a part-time service, only airing all through sports broadcasts.
If a correct streaming package had been to emerge featuring the majority of live sports presented on cable as well as local games (usually shown on regional cable networks) it's reasonable to feel individuals – younger ones specially – would cut the cord. USTVNow delivers fantastic reside channels with numerous of the very same channels you would typically get with cable or satellite. Bet365 reside streaming is free of charge, nevertheless you should have a funded sports account or have placed a bet within the last 24 hours in order to watch live streams.
Go to ESPNBOX to get up-to-the-minute sports news coverage, scores, highlights and commentary for NFL, MLB, NBA, College Football, NCAA Basketball and more. Those are currently the greatest android app for streaming your favourite and live football matches and you can verify them out by downloading in Google Play Retailer. In addition to Sling, a $20-a -onth service, sports fans could also sign up for CBS All Access.
If the different expert sports leagues in the United States, along with their broadcast partners, provided an more than-the-prime streaming package heavy on reside games, a new study shows buyers would pay for it. SPORT Television Original not only streams mainstream sports such as soccer, hockey, tennis, golf and basketball, but also cycling, rugby, handball and even ping pong, with much more sports coming soon. That $five.99-a-month OTT offer has some live sports – like golf and college basketball – but NFL games are blacked out due to rights troubles. It is not the station's job—or intent—to train any intern to turn into a sports broadcaster.
Ads here can be annoying, they occasionally are all over the stream and you will want to close them one particular by 1 to able to watch the sports occasion. Sopcast as described a lot on blogs lately for everyone interested into sports. CBS Sports also provides on-demand access to game highlights, evaluation and original programming, as well as a live Twitter feed of commentary from players, writers, analysts and bloggers. The Tv channels and others are also arranged alphabetically below Nation menu, where you can select channels to watch below any nation. They even have a section for streamers to add their sports stream to share on StreamHunter.

Alumna Profile: Carrie Wise '05 '07M
Using Forensic Expertise to Help Loved Ones
The most challenging aspect of the 10-year career of forensic trace analyst Carrie Wise (Bachelor of Science in Biology '05, Master of Forensic Science '07), is overcoming the emotions stirred up by extremely troubling cases.
However, Wise, who specializes in this area at a local lab, says that she combats these hurdles by staying objective while doing her best to deliver justice to the victims and their families. "It is normal as a human to go through distressing emotions, but there is always a job to be done, and finding the right balance is key." In contrast, the most fulfilling aspect of her job is using analytical techniques to validate her hypothesis, she says, because she enjoys seeing the scientific method solve the story based solely on facts.
"You have to be passionate and love what you do. You need to be willing to give yourself to the process, and ensure that you have a mind that questions everything."
To be a successful forensic scientist, Wise says, "You have to be passionate and love what you do. You need to be willing to give yourself to the process, and ensure that you have a mind that questions everything." This curiosity serves her well when combing through evidence and microscopic details. Documentation is another crucial element of the job at which one must excel to ensure that all evidence is recorded.
Wise, who is also an Adjunct Faculty Instructor for the School of Graduate and Professional Studies, teaching the Trace and Crime Scene Investigation courses, was a member of the first class of Stevenson's Forensic Science graduate program. At a young age, Wise knew that she wanted to give back to the community, and she says that her current career is the best avenue through which she can achieve that goal.
"The knowledge that so much information could be extracted from these tiny items completely enthralled me."
While attending Stevenson, Wise found her interest in forensics sparked by Ellen Roskes, Ph.D., Associate Dean, Chemistry, Math, and Physical Sciences. From her first year in the Forensic Science program, it was absolutely clear to Wise that this was what she wanted to do. During her rotations and visits to different labs, she got a feel for the forensics field and was instantly enamored by the day-to-day work. Faculty members in the program, who were all current or previous practitioners in the field, used their professional experience to teach her what would be expected from her in the field. One case that cemented Carrie's desire to work with trace evidence came from a visit to a local crime lab where debris included paint, drywall, and animal hairs. "The knowledge that so much information could be extracted from these tiny items completely enthralled me."
A mother of two, Wise cites her family as inspiration because they remind her to change, try new things, and be the best person she can be. The victims and their families also serve as an inspiration to her. "I always remind myself that each victim was someone's baby. There are people who love and care for them." With the heartfelt goal of bringing comfort to each of these families, Wise truly makes a difference in her community.

With the ecosystem developing, there is an increasing focus among businesses to get their content right. As they say, content strategy can make or break the company's brand perception and new age media has a huge role to play here.
Hardik Zaveri is a believer of this ideology. The 29-year old college dropout has been building businesses since his teenage days. Today, the serial entrepreneur has climbed the ladder up as an angel investor and is running his investment company 8finity Global from Los Angeles and Mumbai.
In a chat with Entrepreneur India, Zaveri says his investment mantra is simple - he believes in investing in the youth and wants to build companies around them. So every company that 8finity has invested is run by group young individuals who he has met through on day to day basis.
"I always like to take few risks against no rewards and see the courage that entrepreneurs have to actually go through and push what they believe in strongly. So, it can be any project that they really love, which coincides with my passion i.e. digital media," he shared.
India is home to more than 135 crore people and more than a quarter of the population are smartphone users. The numbers are only expected to improve and the internet is linking every one of us with brands, new technologies, etc.
In other words, Zaveri says India is set to become a big market place.
"I see our country is getting converted into a marketplace and every person will have a need or want (for services and goods) and would have something to do with the internet. I'm just looking to fit somewhere in the middle of the needs and wants of people and this can be done through brands, or businesses or influencers," he noted.
Even though influencer marketing is picking pace in India, the industry is not in great position. With the growing number of social media platforms, anyone who can take decent pictures has started to believe that they are influencers. While on the other side, genuine influencers are scattered and are not very sure of what they are doing.
It is only a matter of time where brands would realise that neither people listen to these influencers nor the engagements are converting into sales. Zaveri says people follow influencers because of who they are and not what they are selling. So, if influencers do not amalgamate this right, followers are going to stop believing in them.
To tap on this opportunity, 8Finity has invested in a company called NoFilter, which takes care of human empowerment by education, content creation, etc. for all social media platforms. It has also invested in CollabTribe which helps influencers to develop organic approach strategies and @social to help them with micro social media marketing.
"These companies are primarily focused on influencers. We actively use people to market products in an organic way so that the brand also gets good engagement. With these three companies in our portfolio, we have covered every element of social media marketing for B2B, B2C, and everything in the middle," he concluded.

"...and then she knew that you could become homesick for people too."
last month I spent 5 amazing days in Valencia, Spain. A meet-up for film-photographers organised by my beloved Carmencita Film Lab Family.
They truly are like extended family - once you meet them you won't ever want to leave!
So I am kinda speechless really and still processing everything that happened in such a short time.
But mostly I am grateful.
laughing so hard, that I cried every day.
nobody finding it weird when you aimlessly wander the streets in the middle of the night just to finish a roll of Cinestill.
English spoken in so many different accents.
sharing a room with a wise Russian girl.
cooking Paella and Sangria like a pro - even though slightly drunk so we can't remember really how to but never forget the fun.
Valencia at night - feels like a sleeping film-set.
walking for hours and finding beauty everywhere.
finding out that no matter how successful somebody is, we all seem to have the same worries to overcome.
disagreeing but liking each other anyway.
spending time by the sea.
Carmencita Family - you have created pure MAGIC. I'll be forever grateful!

Scott Flory succeeds Mike Morreale as CFLPA president
The CFL Players' Association has elected a new executive committee, including former Montreal Alouettes offensive lineman Scott Flory as president, as it prepares for the next round of labour talks with the league.
Upcoming labour talks top his agenda
The Canadian Press · Posted: Mar 31, 2014 6:28 PM ET | Last Updated: March 31, 2014

The Canadian Football League Players' Association has elected a new executive committee as it prepares for the next round of labour talks with the league.
Scott Flory has been elected president, Jay McNeil will serve as first vice-president and Marwan Hage of the Ottawa RedBlacks will serve as second vice-president, the CFLPA said Monday in a statement.
Flory succeeds Mike Morreale as president. The 2014-15 executive committee also includes third vice-president Jeff Keeping of the Toronto Argonauts and treasurer Brian Ramsay of the Edmonton Eskimos.
The CFLPA is set to hold talks with the league April 10-11.
"This CBA negotiation, coinciding as it does with the start of the league's new five-year deal with TSN, is a perfect time to revisit some of the past revenue concessions made by the CFL players and negotiate a deal that is fair and reasonable for both the players and the league," Flory said.
Player health and safety issues, career transitioning and pension improvements are also expected to be discussed. The league's current collective bargaining agreement with the players expires May 30.
Flory said he is expecting changes going forward.
"Our members have worked hard to provide high-calibre entertainment on the field, as well as a strong CFL presence in their communities, both of which have contributed significantly to the success of the league," he said. "While the CFLPA agrees that we must remain sensible and smart about our business, the burden of financial responsibility is not one that can or should be borne solely by the players.
"While we want to continue to play the game that we love, we will not play the 2014 season under the terms of the current CBA."
In a release earlier in the month, commissioner Mark Cohon said labour negotiations will be kept private.
"Out of respect for this important process, and for our players, I never discuss negotiations in the media or in public," Cohon said. "We are committed to working towards a fair and reasonable agreement with our players. We want to be fair to them and keep our league on the path to being strong as well as stable."
The 2014 season is slated to begin June 26 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers home to the Toronto Argonauts.

Cape Town: A South African historically significant city
Add to wish list Find a Travel Trade Partner
Add to wish list Find a Travel Trade PartnerShare
IIf you're considering visiting one of the world's best cities that has an interesting history to explore, think no further than Cape Town, situated at the tip of Africa. Popularly known as the "Mother City", the city has some of South Africa's most important history and culture. The city's beauty is complemented by Table Mountain, which sits majestically in the background.
Table Mountain and its adjacent areas were home to the original Capetonians, the KhoeSan people, who inhabited the area before the first Europeans set foot in South Africa.
A visit to the Slave Lodge Museum in the city will bring you face-to-face with the slave trade history in South Africa. The slave trade started in Cape Town in 1652 after the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck. Slaves from South East Asia were brought to work on the farms after Van Riebeeck set up the supply station of the Dutch East India Company.
Away from the grim past of slavery, colonisation and apartheid, there are plenty of other things to discover in the city. The legendary Houses of Parliament has for decades captured everything you wanted to know about South African politics. It has hosted Cecil John Rhodes in 1890 as prime minister of the Cape Colony, and was a centre in the country for debates about the South African Anglo-Boer War, World Wars I and II and the ascendancy to power by the National Party, who created apartheid.
TThe Houses of Parliament is also the place where, in 1966, the crafter of apartheid, South African prime minister Dr Hendrik Verwoerd, was stabbed to death by parliamentary messenger Dimitri Tsafendas. Today the House is still shaping the history of South Africa.
You can't visit Cape Town and not go to Robben Island in Table Bay, which represents the country's dark days, and is now a World Heritage site. The apartheid government created Robben Island prison, which kept one of the world's most famous political prisoners, Nelson Mandela, locked away for 27 years. In 1994, a freed Mandela delivered his first speech as the first president of the democratic South Africa in Parliament.
Moreover, to experience the dream of Capetonians you have to visit the District Six Museum, which was founded in 1994. Through the memory cloth at the museum, you can find out about the District Six suburb that stood in sharp contrast to the government's policy of racial segregation. The creation of a racially mixed suburb came to a grinding halt as the area was declared a whites only neighbourhood in 1950. Thousands of people of colour were forcibly moved to the Cape Flats.
AAt the museum, which sits among the colourful houses and cobbled streets of historical Bo-Kaap, one can find out how the area turned out to be home to Muslims and freed slaves, many of whom came from South East Asia, and are sometimes referred to as Cape Malays. A visitor can digest some of the customs and beliefs of the Cape Malays, and how they shape the rich history of Cape Town.
Some of the city's history can also be found in posh suburbs like Bishopscourt, which is snuggled against the hills of the Table Mountain and the famous Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens. The suburb started out as Jan van Riebeeck's farm, known as Boscheuvel or Bush Hill in 1652. Nearly 200 years later in 1849, the farm was bought by the Anglican Church, and renamed it Bishopscourt where it housed Anglican bishops and archbishops of Cape Town. The area is also home to Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, and in 1990 it housed Nelson Mandela for his first night of freedom after his long incarceration.
Other historical places of interest for visitors include the Castle of Good Hope, the Cape Town Diamond Museum, the South African Jewish Museum and Zeitz MOCAA.

2021 Jeep Wrangler hybrid named Green SUV of the Year
The Wrangler 4xe's hybrid powertrain sources power from a high-tech, 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with two electric motors.
By HT Auto Desk
| Updated on: 24 Nov 2020, 08:00 PM
Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid (PHEV)
2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid has been honoured with the title of Green SUV of the Year by industry publication Green Car Journal.
The SUV delivers up to 25 miles of nearly silent, zero-emission, electric-only propulsion which makes it commuter friendly as an all-electric daily drive without range anxiety.
1998 cc | Petrol | Automatic (Torque Converter)
₹ 53.9 Lakhs*Onwards
1368 cc | Petrol | Manual
The Wrangler 4xe's hybrid powertrain combines a high-tech, 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with two electric motors, a high-voltage battery pack and TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. Torque from the electric motors arrives instantly on demand from the driver. The powertrain delivers fuel-saving, start-stop operation of the engine.
(Also read | 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 unveiled, the fastest and most powerful yet)
The carmaker claims that the hybrid SUV is most capable and eco-friendly off-road Jeep vehicle. 4xe is Jeep's global name for its plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technology. "The Wrangler 4xe delivers an exciting and environmentally positive way for Jeep fans to enjoy their on- and off-road experiences," says Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal.
The hybrid powertrain maximizes efficiency with an estimated 50 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe). It delivers 375 of horsepower and sprints from 0-60 mph in just 6.0 seconds.
(Also read | Battle off road: How Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco and Land Rover Defender stack up)
The powertrain can be tailored to best suit each trip with the E Select mode buttons on the instrument panel. In the default hybrid mode, the SUV blends power from the engine and electric motors, prioritizing EV operation until the battery reaches its minimum charge.
The global launch of the new Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid has been slated to take place in December this year. The hybrid Wrangler will be made available across several international markets including the USA.

Q: Mysql master/master replication, what is the problems I tried to set up Master <-> Master replication on production and some people they tell me that is not a good option.
I want to know why is not a good option and what is the problem that may find? :)
Mysql version: 5.7.23
mysql config:
auto-increment-increment = 2
# 1 Node
auto-increment-offset = 1
# 2 Node
auto-increment-offset = 2

A: The autoincrement% settings you mentioned take care of AUTO_INCREMENT values, but do not handle other UNIQUE KEYs.  Keep in mind that if a dup key error occurs, replication is stopped until a human intervenes.
Depending on how the code (router, proxy, etc) picks which Master to write to, you may have the "critical read" problem.  This is where, say, someone posts something, then goes to another web page and expects to see the results of it.  But the read goes to another machine and the results have not [yet] arrived because of replication delay.
Automatic failover is a big challenge.  It is probably best left to be manual.  If the network dies, you could have the "split brain" problem.  In this case it is unsafe to failover because machine can't see the other.  If they both blindly thing the other is dead, and take control, you could get data conflicts that are 'impossible' to fix.
Some of the issues are avoided by designating one of the Master as active and having the other be readonly.
After all, every write to a Master is also performed on every Slave (including the other Master in a dual-Master setup).  That is, there is essentially no "write scaling" by having dual-Master.  There is some "read scaling".
What is your goal of picking M-M?  Scaling?  HA?  Disaster protection?  Facilitate certain schema changes?  Other?  Are the two Masters located next to each other?  On the same power source?
One of my points is that M-M provides limited benefits.  And you may have to do other things to really achieve them.  (Separate data centers, careful routing of queries to servers, etc.)
A number of the issues are lessened if you go to one of the "cluster solutions" (Galera or Group Replication).  They require 3 servers, preferably in 3 geographic locations.  But they handle split brain, automatic failover, and some other issues.

Richards/Abilene Reporter-News)Buy PhotoWhat eighth-grade girl falls in love with lifting weights? Well, Tatiana Flowers did, and it's no surprise for an individual who prefers the path less taken."I don't like going for things that are really simple and easy," the Cooper junior said. "I like a challenge, so that's what I go for."So, when Flowers' coaches in eighth grade suggested she start powerlifting, Flowers decided to give it a try. After all, it was something different."My coaches convinced me to do it because they knew I liked to lift and they knew I would be good at it," Flowers said. "I didn't think I would be good at it. I just kind of went for it, and I've been doing it ever since."Flowers, now in her third year with the Cooper girls powerlifting team, has, indeed, proven to be good at it. She became the first Cooper girl to win a region powerlifting title when she won the 148-pound weight class at the Texas High School Women's Powerlifting Associations' Region I Division I meet on March 4 in Levelland."I was really, really shocked, to be honest," Flowe... http://www.reporternews.com/story/sports/high-school/2017/03/16/coopers-flowers-blooms-girls-powerlifting-team/99243862/
Abilene baker creates bacon bouquet for Valentine's Day - KTXS
ABILENE, Texas - Forget the flowers, stuff the sweets, and can the cards; one Abilene family has [un]officially won Valentine's Day with a bouquet made of bacon.That's right--these roses smell like sizzlin' swine.Sheri Bell owns Bella's Bakery and got the idea for the "Beauquet" on the internet. She and her daughters wanted to make something special for her husband, Brent, for the holiday beyond the typical sweets.She has a process in place that's reminiscent of an assembly line as she makes them in her own home, which happens to be about a block north of Bacon Drive in north Abilene. She rolls the strips of bacon into the base shape and then cuts them to create petals. She cooks them in the oven--presumably to not also give high cholesterol for the holiday--and then affixes them to a fake rose stalk.And now Bell, who shared her secret to men's hearts across the South, has received orders from other couples in the city who want bacon bouquets as well.One woman, Bell said, had to place... http://www.ktxs.com/news/abilene-baker-creates-bacon-bouquet-for-valentines-day/332332452

Optimists learn about the flower business - Abilene Recorder Chronicle
Photo providedThe guest speaker at the Dec. 21 meeting of the Abilene Optimist Club was Kylie Lee, a primary employee of The Flower Box. Kylie is the daughter of John and Donna Berger, owners of the business. She related much history about the business. She said her dad had been involved in the flower business for over 40 years. She mentioned you don't have to have a horticulture degree or know all the different flowers to go into the business. You just need to be somewhat artistic and be imaginative. Her dad learned the trade by hands-on experience working several years at the former Olsen Floral Shop. Kylie said their biggest days naturally are Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, but every holiday it picks up. They have also handled many huge weddings and funerals. Their biggest fresh flower suppliers are out of Wichita, Topeka and Colorado. http://www.abilene-rc.com/news/optimists-learn-about-the-flower-business/image_41df6f0c-cd0d-11e6-8224-733c809da6a1.html

Taos event planner helps make holidays, weddings about you - taosnews
Palmer.Palmer has worked with wedding parties who come from all over the world for a destination ceremony in Taos. She coordinated weddings for residents from Texas, Colorado and Africa, among other places. Many of her clients favor garden weddings, and Palmer enjoys such events because of the color and texture they provide.An interesting challenge in this realm includes a wedding at Old Martina's Hall in which the couple requested an outdoor garden theme in an indoor setting. "When I receive such a request, I strive to rely on visions of nature, especially the forest, for various types of flowers. I keep in mind whether people have allergies, especially sage," Palmer related.Palmer rightfully earned the name Taos Floral Diva, and under this title one may seek her website. Her business also uses the title Margaret Palmer Floral Design. Some of the brides and grooms become her friends and they invite her to their wedding as a guest.FamilyPalmer experienced some firsts in her genealogical lineage. Her late father Giuseppi Vitulli arrived in this country from Italy, thus making his children first generation Italian American. Her late mother, Evelyn, on the other hand, was a first-generation citizen herself because her parents came to the United States from Calabria, Italy.Her father worked as a Merchant Marine and came to this country with a strong work ethic. He arrived in America illegally, to escape Mussolini's Italy during World War II, and later became a naturalized citizen.Margaret Vitulli married her high school sweetheart, Richard Palmer, 30 years ago. The couple raised two children. Daughter Paisley, 27, received her B.A. from the University of New Mexico-Albuquerque and her M.A. at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. She is an archaeologist for an environmental company and plans to marry Matthew De Freese in Hawaii on Dec. 16. The Palmers' son, Allen, 25, completed his bachelor's degree at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. In April, he wed his wife, Serenah. The couple lives in San Antonio, where he serves in the Air Force as a commissioned officer.Personal interestsPalmer prefers to live in the moment, and loves sharing stories. The frequent volunteer helped with hockey, soccer, tennis, drama, fundraising and many activities in the schools, including substitute teaching. She supports the Taos County Chamber of Commerce as a member and an ambassador. "I like to stay involved with town things, and that includes political campaigns," said Palmer.As frequent travelers, the Palmers visited Europe and Russia and have gone American river boat cruising. The couple enjoys traveling with family. Anticipated future vacation spots include Alaska, Machu Picchu and Africa.In this season of Thanksgiving, Palmer said she is grateful. "I give thanks for another day in paradise. I live in a wonderful place. Our children received a good education in the Taos schools and they continue to come to Taos whenever possible. I love to spend time with family and travel the world. The Taos sunsets are the best.

A funeral director for the community - Dallas Voice
Three generations of the Green family operated the funeral home. When Helen Green took over the business, she became one of the first women licensed by the state of Texas to become a funeral director. While the Green family is gone from the business, Lewis and Lafleur respect the company's history.Lewis said being a funeral director is something he wanted to do since he was a child. While other kids were playing cops and robbers, he was playing funeral home. And, yes, he does understand how disturbing that is.When he was 16, he applied to work at a funeral home near his house in Joplin, Mo. They turned him down suggesting the local McDonalds was hiring."If I wanted to work at McDonalds, I would have applied there," Lewis said.So when he was 18, he applied again and this time the funeral home hired him. He said he even lived above the funeral home and did everything from polishing the floors to emptying the waste baskets to assisting the funeral director with the bodies.He also began taking mortuary classes at Missouri Southern.Then he moved to Dallas and began classes at the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service on South Buckner Boulevard and did much of his practical work at Sparkman-Hillcrest to earn his associates in applied science.He met LaFleur 16 years ago. LaFleur was is in retail and isn't a funeral director. They met at JR.'s."We stared at each other from across the room," Lewis said. So one day he finally walked up to LaFleur and said, "Are we going to just stare at each other across the room or are you going to ask me out?"LaFleur gave him his email address. Lewis went right home and sent LaFleur a message and the email bounced. LaFleur insists it was an honest mistake.They met up at JR.'s again the next week, exchanged phone numbers and made a date to see each other the following weekend.

Spells And Magic-The Secret Formula To Your Manifesting Success?
You can have, be or achieve anything you want, as long as you know what you want and you have a strong faith and desire that, your desired outcome is a done deal.
The world is changing, more and more people are awakening to the fact that they have more inner spiritual powers and creative abilities than they imagined.
What was once thought impossible and out of their grasp for many everyday people, is now becoming possible and probable to those who are believers, inspired, enthusiastic and dedicated.
People are now achieving amazing things that their ordinary and everyday logical conscious mind at one time, could never have ever even begun to comphrend.
So, are you ready to awaken and open up the door to limitless possibilities, are you ready to change and use the power of magic to bring you more success, and manifest your desires into physical reality?
If you are, then I am sure this article can help you.
Because there is one thing that will help you change everything for you if you are prepared to allow it to happen.
Change your mindset, change your energy and you will have all the tools that you need to change your life for the better.
There is one thing that would really help you to turn your desires into reality and bring about to you, all the things that you deeply desire and all the things that have been eluding you.
Positive energy. Because you get what you feel, and not necessarily what you want.
Although you have to know what you want. Too much wanting and wishing, can lead to, not having, if it is overdone.
When you wish something, you're kind of, saying it is out of your reach.
The truth is, everything that you would love to have, is already yours. All you have to do is bring it from the non physical dimensions into your physical reality.
And there are certain techniques that can help you speed up your manifesting powers.
If you feel as if you have a passion for magic, then why not start today to begin getting everything that you have always wanted and dreamt about at All Magic Spells.
Many people will argue the very existence or effectiveness of magic spells. The reason for this is because they either don't fully understand the concepts behind the magic or how it works.
They will often question the results or they will need scientific evidence to convince themselves, instead of having an open mind and spending a little more time researching, learning and applying the techniques.
Magic is a very personal experience and everybody will have a different interpretation and opinion of it, which will often differ from person to person.
If you want to master spells and magic, then how successful you become at it will largely depend on your levels of application, your belief systems and your own will and desire.
Your honest intentions drive the magic spells you cast, and determine the eventual outcome. Without that powerful energy behind the spell, there is no "engine" to make the spell work, and so nothing will happen.
The important thing to realize is. Magic is not like you see in the movies and shows. Magic is non physical therefore it is not visual, and it doesn't happen instantly.
You cannot defy the laws of nature or magic things out of thin air or do things that are physically impossible.
However, you can harness your inner powers and you can bend the rules slightly.
In reality, magic comes entirely from within you.
You have to release the energy from your heart, mind and spirit and then direct that energy towards your life goals.
This is where learning magic spells comes into play. Because, magic spells, rituals, incantations, chants, symbols and so on, all help you to do exactly that.
So where does belief come into it?
Well, imagine a situation where you cast a spell to get a new job.
You go through the procedure of the spell, you perform the rituals, speak the right words and do everything that the spell says you should.
But in the back of your mind, if you think or "know" that the spell is rubbish and it won't bring you any closer to getting a new job.
Do you think the magic spell will work for you?
The chances are, you will break the spell and it probably won't work for you.
The reason why this happens is because. When it comes to magic, you have to cultivate the magic from within you.
So you are able to maintain a clear, focused mind and project out a vibrant, positive energy so you keep all your attention, focused on your goals.
Our only weakness is our own mentality.
Because if you do not have the desire and you lack belief, then your magic will lack the power to bring you the results that you want.
You might ask yourself, "How can I build that strong core unstoppable belief"
Part of that lies with having a strong belief and inner desire which should be backed up with patients and a willingness to learn and keep on practicing.
But is there a better way to boost your magic skills and speed up the results you are wanting?
Well, you can give yourself a head start and a distinct advantage.
Then, thanks to the incredible power of witchcraft and magic spells, all these things are available to you, right now. And according to the experts at All Magic Spells, it's easy to perform.
White Magic is a powerful spiritual force in the universe, and it works alongside nature and science to bring positive change to people's lives.
Every day, all over the world, people are using White Magic to achieve their deepest wishes and desires, spending just a few minutes a day casting easy spells and performing simple magical rituals.
Getting what you want, may be a lot easier to obtain, than you might have thought.
As they say "You are only limited by your imagination".
White Magic spells have been used by wise and powerful humans for thousands of years, and these secrets have been passed down through trusted chains until they are here, now, and available to you.
Finally, the secrets of magic are open to you and you can use them to help you to get everything you've ever wanted: love, money, success, you name it.
You don't have to be born a witch. You don't have to have any prior experience. You don't have to have a cauldron.
Casting spells is easy, fun and effective. The only real way to know is to give it a try and see for yourself.
If you want to take your magic spells to the next level, then why not pop over to their hugely popular website at All Magic Spells.
Every time you download any magic spells from this website, you will receive a free set of 5 bonus e-books that will help you understand the truth about how magic works, how to avoid common mistakes, how to build your belief quickly and ultimately gain a better experience with your magic.
Again, you get what you expect, not what you want.
You have to really believe in magic, before the magic can happen.
"Those who don't believe in magic, never find it"
Magic works a bit like the placebo effect. If you don't believe in, lets say lucky talisman, the spells you cast or a lucky charm, then it is not going to work for you.
People think, we believe what we see. But may be a better way of putting it is, we see what we believe.
The important thing to be aware of with magic, and when we speak of magic, we're not talking about the stuff you find in the Harry Potter films or TV illusionist shows.
We're speaking about boosting your manifesting powers and working with the powerful universal energies and forces. If you expect magic to happen, then you will fill your world with wonderful things.
The main components of manifesting are, mind, energy and action.
You come into this world knowing all you need. As a young child you already believed that the world was a magical place.
It is only when we pick up the beliefs of our elders, that we start to lose, the most powerful creating tool in existence.
It is human nature and a natural impulse to want to try and control things and future events, but the magic happens, when you get out of the way and you let go of the need to control.
If you think good things are coming your way, if you love life and you see the wonderful world as it truly is, then wonderful things will unfold in front of your very eyes.
Unless you're speaking to somebody who shares your passion for magic or you're mixing with similar success minded people, then it may pay you to keep it to yourself.
People tend to oppose what they do not fully understand, if it does not conform to their current and limiting belief systems.
Skeptics and cynics tend to come from a negative feeling and believing place. This mindset can severely restrict you and deny you of all the amazing things that are at your disposal.
Positive energy and negative energy will take you down different paths.
Skepticism, is a form of negative thinking, Those who mock, tend to follow the crowds, those who think outside the box, achieve great things.
Everybody is a potential winner and everybody is a potential winner, depending on the thoughts and language you choose to use and believe.
Sometimes there might be a delay in what you're asking for. What you need to avoid is falling into the trap of thinking it is not happening or it is not going to happen.
Just carry on believing and knowing with a strong faith that it is coming, be patient, but more importantly, stay in the non resistance, allowing state.
You have to get the positive momentum going and keep it going, even before what you want has manifested.
Because once you stay focused on something with a positive expectation, you will cultivate the energy that will lead you to what you want.
Because it is a universal law. It has got to come to you eventually as long as you do not weaken and surrender to the negative energies.
You're old negative beliefs and thought processes may keep trying to defeat you, but if you persist and persevere, then you will eventually defeat your old destructive thought processes.
If you are thinking about casting some positive spells or it is your goal to bring about some magic into your life.
Then what is important to understand is. It is not just a case of casting a spell, and then carry on feeling negative.
Because although you need to cast your spell, and then let it go and hand over the how part, to the universe, as the how part, is not your job.
It is important to practice thinking positively and to hold yourself in the peace of the present moment, because it is the feeling good energy, that creates all the magic.
Many people have got into the habit of thinking negatively and expecting the worse, which causes emotional tension and stress, which are negative energies.
At times when you are feeling angry, frustrated, tense, worried, sad or anxious. The more things tend to go wrong.
You are at your most powerfullest, when your muscles are relaxed, when your body is balanced, your mind is still and your allowing life to happen, without trying hard.
When you try to force things to happen, when you become too desperate or when you try to hard, instead of just getting out of the way and allowing things to happen naturally in their own time.
You will interfere with and block off your natural inbuilt process of manifestation and succeeding.
The magic happens in the believing and knowing. If you do not trust in the process, then you will block off all the things that you desire the most.
The power of positive expectation, is probably the most potent of all energy forces known to mankind.
Expectation, is what creates planets and brings new species and undiscovered wonders to life.
We all visualize throughout our day. The trouble is, many people are unknowingly visualizing what they don't want.
If you're worried, if you're feeling frustrated or disappointed. Then you're visualizing and projecting what you don't want.
When you apply emotion, and this works both ways. Because you have positive attraction and negative attraction, then you will attract things quicker.
If you believe that it is hard to obtain what you desire, then it will become hard to obtain, if you believe it is easy, then it will happen a lot quicker.
If you ordered an item on Amazon. You would not doubt or question, whether it would be delivered to you or not and you would not. You would just trust and have a knowingness that what you ordered, will be yours.
If you do not trust in the process of magic or manifestation, then you do not believe in the process.
So, expect without question or doubt, expect with confidence, expect with certainity, at it shall be yours.
"You possess all the capabilities for self enrichment. You need only to exercise these powers. As you begin, have no concerns whether you are proceeding correctly. Just begin".
If you have not heard of Helene Hadsell. Then she is the woman who wins every competition, she enters, and over the years she has literally won thousands of contests.
Helene has won just about everything, including household items, cars, cash, gifts, many trips abroad, a million dollar luxury house.
Helen Hadsell learned exactly how to use the Law Of Attraction to her own benefit. She has defied logical thinking to win just about every contest she entered.
It might sound hard to believe. But by1982 alone, Helene had already won 5.000 prizes, which include washing machines, televisions, many other household appliances, many trips abroad and much more, and she carried on winning.
Cynics call it luck. But, you don't fluke, that amount of competitions. The only luck, she had, was the luck she cultivated herself.
One month, Helens says, she won a prize every single day. If that is not proof that manifestation works, I don't know what is.
But her biggest prize of all was, winning a luxury house, after being picked out of 2.5 million other contestants.
She has won so many prizes that she even started giving them away.
Helene started her magical journey, when she picked up a book titled. The power of positive thinking.
What immediately caught her attention was the phrase.
"You can have anything that you want, providing you know what it is and you see yourself as already having it"
Helene got to the stage where she just knew she would win, where she reached a point that, she did not see, the competitions she was entering as competitions.
"The only competition you have, is the one that you have with yourself"
The powerful universal laws work for everybody, there are no exceptions.
You can either harness these positive energy forces, to work for you or can be your own worst enemy, and use them against you, when you doubt yourself and the process.
Have you ever noticed that things work out much better, and life happens easier, when you're not resisting anything and you're in the flow state.
Some people fall into the victim mentality. Where they tell themselves, nothing good ever happens to me, I am not lucky.
They blame their circumstances, their parents, society and they blame just about everything and everyone for their lack of good luck, instead of taking responsibility for their own well-being and future.
But, you have a choice, we all do, and the wise choice is to take charge of your destiny and life.
"You can convince yourself of achieving something. Over and over again until you beat your thinking. That is the way you do it. Although sometimes it takes longer. I found you do it is a very effective and successful secured method"
Even when she managed to pack it in for a while, the urge to smoke turned out to be stronger than her will power.
Then she came across a spell to help quit smoking in a magazine, since she cast the spell, she has not touched a cigarette since, but more importantly, she has never had the urge or the usual cravings to smoke once since casting the spell.
If you're ready to awaken to discover who you really are and you're open to the idea that you are more powerful than you could have ever begun to imagine, then it will become your time to shine.
If you're not ready to wake up and unleash your true powers, then you will stay the victim of your circumstances, chance and your negative conditioning.
Many people are afraid of magic because they do not fully understand it, magic is all about making things happen or designing your own life as you wish or intend it to be, instead of just relying on luck, fate or chance, others call it magic some call it a science.
It is really about using the power of positive energy to harness the natural universal laws to create the good things you wish for in a way that can bring more joy, abundance, good fortune and even healing to your life.
People speak about good and bad magic or black or white magic, but magic in itself is neither good nor bad, it is just a processing form of creation, what really separates the two are the same as anything else in life which is the intentions of the person that is using it.
There are good people in this world and there are bad people the same as there is good energy and bad energy, anybody who intends to cast bad wishes onto others should be aware that what you send out will come back at you.
The magic and witchcraft we are talking about is the ethical and fun witchcraft, which is practiced only by white witchcraft, their intentions are purely honorable, and is solely aimed only to bring joy to their lives and the lives of others.
Remember to be careful what you wish for because it might come true and don't speak or wish ill on others.
Black witchcraft is about casting hexes, and spells that are harmful aimed at forcing people to do things against their own free will.
White witchcraft is basically all the different spells that are used to bring happiness, love and positivity to your life.
The spells that are cast by the art of white witchcraft are never intended to cast harm to anyone else whatsoever.
You do not have to become a white witch to cast spells of magic anybody can learn and it is no different to the likes of cosmic ordering.
The power of magic starts when you use positive words or phrases combined with the positive energy you ignite, and you cast your spell without any inner doubts.
For centuries people have practiced the art of magic and casting spells to heal, empower and better their lives.
The energetic power of spells and magic has been used to great effect by those who have the determination and intent to use the real magic laws of the universe, so they can maximize it's hidden secrets and utilize it's true potential.
Casting spells is a form of magic which can help to improve your life and bring you good luck and fortune.
Magic and spells is an art that can be learned to better your life and improve the world around, you can make things happen when you wish for them to happen.
The real art of spells is to heal and better your life. Although most people cast spells and magic to benefit themselves, you can also cast spells to help others dear to you who to may also be struggling.
Although you can help others with your spells, it is much more potent when used for yourself because the amount of emotion, desire and intent is far greater when you're focusing your own positive energy towards benefiting yourself.
Magic and spells can be performed anywhere and at any time, all you will need is a few spoken words or mantra's that relate to your chosen spell and desire.
When you combine the right set of words with a positive intention you can quickly change any situation or circumstance into how you desire it to be and you can start by casting your spell from within and transform and manifest that wish outwardly into your everyday reality.
Although you will need to know the right words, you will also need the correct ingredients which are required for that specific spell of your choice.
When we speak of the magic behind spells, the magic is not the stuff of fairy tales. The magic is learning how to apply, harness and use the powerful universal laws to better your positive advantage, and these universal laws are available for us all to tap into, even though most people don't bother using them.
Although the timing of your spell is not critical, many white witches believe some spells can be more empowered by harnessing the power of the moon's energy on certain days and at specific times of the week.
Although the spell creates the belief remember it is the positive energy that is the key element in the success of the spell and the moon can help you turbo charge that required energy.
The best time to perform certain spells is believed to be when the moon passes through its four stages of progress starting from a waxing moon which is good for positive action spells.
Then the period leading up to a full moon is a great time to perform your very own personal spells and finally the period of a waning moon between a full moon and a new moon is the ideal time to cast a spell to help you rid yourself of any problems you are experiencing in your life or for the ones close to you.
If you're thinking of learning how to cast a few spells It is important to understand it can be a powerful way to benefit your life and to improve the life of others.
However, it is equally important that under no circumstances should you, for whatever reason cast a negative spell to inflict harm or bring bad luck onto others.
This practice is strictly forbidden, and for those who do not heed the warning then there is a danger that a negative spell performed on others who may have upset you for some reason or another will turn back on you and become three times more powerful as it does.
So your own spell will end up rebounding inflicting a negative impact on you. What can you use spells for, well just about anything, some of the most popular spells are for love, money, health, well-being, personal problems.
Although you can use spells to bring you love, you cannot force someone to love you against their will, especially if you want your ex to come back to you.
This is why if you use a love spell to attract a soul mate it is far better to be more general and just let the power of the universe bring a random but matching person into your life rather than you having a specific person in mind.
Healing spells are used as an alternative way to better your health and well-being on an emotional, physical and spiritual level. Healing spells have brought about miracles in some cases, however, it is still important to work with your doctor as well as using a spell, especially if you have a serious condition.
Healing spells can be very effective because they deal with the spiritual and universal energy side of us, healing spells can restore back the body's natural balance of energy.
Many illnesses and emotional problems are the result of a disruption in the body's natural energy balance. Blocked energy is often the root source of many problems and spells can aid you to unblock that energy and restore balance, peace and harmony back to the body.
Now you know a little about magic, whenever you decide to cast your spells the most important thing to remember is to think positive and have absolute faith that your spell will work, then you will manifest your wish into a reality.
Spells and magic taps into the awesome powers of the sixth sense, our sixth sense is our most power-fullest sense yet most people are unaware they have one. Our world is dominated by our five senses but it is our sixth sense which should be the first sense we should rely on.
Some people can feel a little apprehensive about casting a white spell, probably because they associate witch craft with negativity and ridicule.
However, it is important to be aware of the fact that white spells and white witches are totally harmless and you should not get mixed up with the more sadistic black witches because the two are totally different.
It is completely safe to perform positive and life enhancing white spells, it is no different from using the law of attraction or cosmic ordering.
Contrary to what some people believe you do not have to be a white witch or involved in any other movement or group to learn how to perform a spell, you also do not have to be experienced either it is something that anybody can learn and practice.
Never at any time doubt or convince yourself, it's not working because like most things you may sometimes have to be patient and allow a bit of time for the spell to weave its magic.
We live in a magical universe, magic has always been at our disposal since the day we were born, we come into this world with all the powers and resources we need to live a happy and abundant life.
Once you cast a spell, that is providing you have followed all the appropriate procedures because you need to cast that spell correctly.
Then the spell should begin to start to manifest itself after a few days however it can take up to four weeks for it to become fully effective.
If by then your wish has not been granted try performing the spell again.
The art of spells and magic is a skill and craft that needs to be practiced and developed, like all skills it may take time to get the maximum benefit, but once you do, you will have the skills and tools at your disposal to improve your health, finances, happiness, well-being, love life and much more.
The bigger the wish the longer it can take to materialize. If your intent is honorable and your desire and passion is strong enough, there is no reason for your spell not to work.
It is also advisable not to discuss your spells once you have cast them with others and if you have cast a spell to help someone else under no circumstances should you reveal it to them or you risk breaking the spell.
One example of an easy money spell is, on the night of a new moon, place a coin on your windowsill, ensuring that the head side of the coin is facing upwards.
At the point when the moon is full, reverse the coin so the tails side is now facing up.
The purpose of turning the coin over is to allow any problems or negative beliefs you have with money to diminish.
Finally, keep yourself in harmony with the phases of the moon, and then to complete the money spell, remove the coin on a new or full moon.
Most skeptical people dismiss magic and spells as hocus pocus, but you have to question what kind of lives are these people living. If you really and truly believe in magic, then magic can happen for you.

Summer in Canada is a time for celebration, and Cee teamed up with German super-producer Shuko for a soulful trap banger to soundtrack the hot months.
Shuko has worked with some of the biggest names in the game, including Omarion, Tyga, Bow Wow, T-Pain, Talib Kweli, Keith Murray and Vinnie Paz, so teaming up again was an honour for Cee. They first connected on "Where I Belong" from Cee's Top 10 album "This Is All I Know", and "Hazy" brings some of that soulful flavour with a modern vibe.
The visuals, once again shot and directed by Montreal-based filmmaker King Richard, shows Cee cruising through a back alley in a search for hazy beer, finding a ton of empties before finally locating what he was looking for - a metaphor for life, really. Cee paid homage to some of his favourite Canadian and American breweries who specialize in hazy IPAs - Bellwoods, Stone City, Dominion City and Old Nation.
Watch the video for "Hazy" below or on YouTube.

HomeDVD & Blu-ray ReviewsSabaton - 'Heroes On Tour'
Sabaton - 'Heroes On Tour' http://rocktopia.co.uk/media/reviews/photos/thumbnail/200x200s/12/90/8a/Sabaton-Heroes-On-Tour-32-1480884600.jpg Hot
Added by Central Electronic Brain December 04, 2016
Heroes On Tour
A worthy and enjoyable experience and one that will put a huge smile on the face of Sabaton fans around the world.
It's hard to believe that just four years ago everything was in the balance for Swedish war-fixated Power Metal outfit Sabaton. Not many bands survive a split that leaves fewer band members left in the line-up than the number who just departed. However, the sight and sounds contained on the 2DVD/CD pack 'Heroes On Tour', where the current line-up are worshipped as the headliners of last year's ginormous Wacken Festival, prove it can be done. Yet, that's not all you'll find here, the second DVD featuring the band's headline performance at their very own Sabaton Open Air Festival. The two sets cover similar ground, both coming from the band's ongoing 'Heroes' tour, but there are enough deviations between them to make comparisons interesting but not the main sport. A short skit opens the Wacken disc, band members "hastily gathered" at the last minute as they've apparently forgotten they were headlining Europe's biggest Metal Fest. Thankfully the songs themselves aren't quite so throwaway; 'No Bullets Fly', 'Gott Mit Uns' and 'Metal Crue', the high energy thumps of Euro-Metal that this band specialise in.
In comparison against some of the uber-slick in concert releases these days, the picture quality on this disc sits somewhere around "okay", while the super quick shot to shot direction initially leaves you struggling to take in what's going on. Something not helped by the show starting in daylight, meaning a lot of the long shots from the back of the arena leave the band barely visible. As night closes in, so does the atmosphere and performance, which includes mucho-pyro and two massive full size tanks. The entertainment levels remain remarkably high, even if the scripted on-stage "humour" misses the mark on almost every occasion.
Oddly the crowd at the band's own festival seem less enthusiastic than the pumped up, Sabaton costume wearing Germans, although the band seem not to care one jot, every song delivered with the same unmistakable belief and pomp their very manly Metal demands. Of the two, Wacken comes across as the most enjoyable by quite some distance, although had the Sabaton Open Air show been the main event, I doubt I'd be complaining.
Extras show up in the shape of a trailer about Sabaton's brand of beer (it's only a matter of time before we get a Heavy Metal sherry at this rate), which is a watch once experience, while two tracks, 'The Art Of War' and 'The Final Solution' with the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague, do add value. The audio disc (which wasn't included in the promo-pack) offers up a straight audio version of the Wacken performance.
Even as a committed Sabaton fan, I have to admit that some of 'Heroes On Tour' is a little underwhelming and while it is thoroughly enjoyable, it isn't one of those DVDs where you can suggest it's a good substitute for seeing the band in the flesh. That doesn't stop it from being a worthy and enjoyable experience and one that will put a huge smile on the face of Sabaton fans around the world, even if it isn't quite as heroic as hoped.
