Pup stars sure to get your vote
PERFECT POOCHES - Senior theatre nurse Ruth Beecham with three of the orphaned puppies
THESE three puppies are on the lookout for homes after their mother died giving birth and dedicated dog lovers worked round the clock to keep them alive.
The adorable trio are five weeks old today and are currently being looked after by staff at the Tilehurst Veterinary Centre in School Road.
Their mother Oakley was 10 and became pregnant after mating with a German Shepherd cross.
Oakley had to undergo an emergency Caesarian section but sadly died because of her age.
Her orphaned offspring, three males and two females, (two are already homed) had to be hand-reared caringly by bereaved owner Alison Lincoln and Ruth Beecham, senior theatre nurse at the vets.
It involved checking up on the pups, who were the size of a hand, every two hours for the first two weeks, including at night.
Ms Beecham said: "The first week was fine, and the more you see them developing the more you're inspired to get out of bed."
Luckily all the puppies pulled through and they are now happily chewing slippers and being cuddled by staff.
Two of the perfect pooches have already found a home - not surprisingly Ms Lincoln and Ms Beecham decided to keep one each. But the three pictured above, two males and one female, are still looking for that special someone.
They are extremely sociable and affectionate, are all in good health and will be ready for homing in three weeks.
Prospective owners will need to be experienced dog-handlers and be at home to look after them at all times.
The surgery plans to hold a puppy reunion during an open day in the near future.
Anyone interested in homing these pups can ring the veterinary surgery on (0118) 942 8240.

Should a Computer Manage Your Investments?
Sometimes people ask Jon Stein, founder of the digital advising site Betterment.com, why they should allow a computer to manage their investments. His response is simple: Why wouldn't they?
Computer algorithms aren't emotional. They're not fearful or greedy. They don't get lazy or take vacations. They don't have conflicts of interest, and they aren't subject to all the irrational behavioral biases that make investing so hard for humans to get right.
"We all use algorithms in our daily lives to simplify common tasks -- screening spam from our email, requesting directions from home to a restaurant, finding books or music we might enjoy," Stein says. "Now we're applying algorithms to optimize retail investing."
Digital advisers tout their ability to make investing simple, easy -- and cheap. Some, including Jemstep and SigFig, offer free analysis of your portfolio and suggestions for improving your returns.
The sites that actually manage money for you -- Betterment, Wealthfront, FutureAdvisor and now SigFig, which recently added management services -- favor ultralow-cost exchange-traded funds and typically charge 0.25% to 0.5% of the amount clients invest with them. That compares with wrap fees of 1 percent or more at brokerages and many financial planning firms, on top of whatever the investments cost. It's not unusual for brokerage clients to end up paying 2% "all in" -- wrap fees plus investment costs -- while the total cost at sites like Betterment and Wealthfront is typically under 0.6%.
Certified Financial Planner and blogger Michael Kitces, who has closely followed the growth of the digital adviser industry, says the investment management sites "are becoming very sophisticated in their capabilities to effectively execute a core diversified portfolio at a very low cost."
"For those who want assistance in constructing a well-diversified portfolio they can set on autopilot -- with technology to oversee the key issues of rebalancing and tax-loss harvesting -- and not need to worry about it, this new generation of online investing tools provides an appealing new option," says Kitces, a partner in Pinnacle Advisory Group of Columbia, Maryland, who blogs at Nerd's Eye View.
A few sites combine the human touch with computerized advice. Personal Capital connects customers with a human adviser and charges a 0.95 percent wrap fee. LearnVest doesn't manage investments, but clients can access a Certified Financial Planner by phone and email to ask questions. Upfront fees range from $89 for basic budgeting help to $399 for more comprehensive planning, plus a $19 monthly fee.
That is likely to be significantly cheaper than the $150 or more per hour many middle-income people would pay for objective, fee-only advice -- assuming such advice was available in their area, Kitces says.
A digital adviser isn't the best fit for someone who needs face-to-face interaction or who is trying to beat the market, since the algorithms favor investments that try to match market returns. Clients need to understand these sites are all essentially startups -- it's not clear which will thrive and which will fail. Money invested with them won't disappear, since it's protected in SIPC-insured accounts, but you may need to find a new brokerage if the digital adviser shuts down.
For those willing to take a chance, though, digital advisers now provide an affordable alternative.

Snohomish County Fire Protection District 5 was created on March 19, 1945, to provide fire protection to properties in the unincorporated town of Startup and areas surrounding the town of Sultan. The newly created district's first Fire Commissioners were George Startup, Nate Baxter and Chas. Tiffany. Prior to the founding of the Fire Protection District the town of Sultan provided this service. The town was not compensated for these services. In 1939 the State of Washington Legislature passed a Chapter 60 of the Laws of 1933. This allowed creation of "fire protection districts outside cities and towns. The district upon its creation, contracted with the town of Sultan to provide fire protection services.
In 1992, the City of Sultan was annexed into the Fire District; this formally merged the two jurisdictions. The Fire District then took over the administration and day to day operations of the fire department. The Fire District Commissioners appointed its first Fire Chief Ted Casey.
In 1999, the district hired its fire two full-time firefighters (Ron Berthold and Scott Clark) to supplement it on-call volunteer firefighters. The fire district hired its third full-time firefighter (Tim Tullis) in 1993.
The full-time firefighters strengthened the on-call volunteer firefighters' response to emergency calls. This allowed to the district to have 2 firefighters on duty during the daytime Monday through Friday. On-call volunteers continued to staff evenings, overnight, and weekends.
In 2004 the fire district purchases 7 acres on the south side of US2 one quarter mile east of Sultan Basin Road. The property had two houses on the property, one house was converted into the district administrative offices and physical training room. The other house was converted into sleeper quarters for our volunteers firefighters to sleep in as our current station had no sleeper dorms. A pole building was built to house A51.
The district received a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 2006. The SAFER grant was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, "front line" firefighters available in their communities. With these additional three fulltime firefighters the district was able to staff the fire station with three firefighters/EMTs during daytime (6 am- 6pm). Overnight response continued to be covered by on-call volunteer firefighters/EMTs.
Over the next 10 years, the district increased its on duty volunteer staffing. Moving away from on-call volunteer staffing, by putting the volunteer in the station during the day and in the sleeper quarters at night greatly improved our response times for at least EMS calls.
In 2015, due to the gradual shift of our volunteer firefighter not living in the Sultan community, the district converted most of the existing volunteers to part-time employees. During this transition, the part-time firefighters were required to work a minimum of 48 hours each month. Part-time or the remaining volunteer firefighters that lived in district were encouraged to continue to respond as on-call and work shifts overnight.
In late 2017, the board of commissioners agreed to move forward in building a new fire station. The city of Sultan's mayor Carolyn Eslick, Sultan School District's Superintendent Dan Chaplik and Snohomish County Sheriff Office along with Snohomish County Fire Chief Merlin Halverson lobbied the State for a Capital Improvement Grant for $1.5 million to help build a Public Safety Center that included room for a much needed community Emergency Operation Center (EOC). Much, if not all, of the City's, School's and Police's infrastructure is located in the lower area (about 110 feet above sea level) of the city. Our highest risk is major flooding or a Culmback Dam failure, which if happened, this whole area would be under 45 feet of water.
In 2018, the fire district hire Lawhead Architects and conceptual drawing were created, those drawings were refined to come up with a plan to build a Public Safety Center with; 4 double deep bay station with an open bay, 7 sleeper dorms, physical training room and kitchen/ dayroom. It also had a community meeting room that will also be used as the department's meeting room/ emergency operation center (EOC). Administrative offices were also added to accommodate the district secretaries and chief officers.
In April 2019 the issue was brought to the community-s to approve the funding package of issuing $8 million in General Obligation Bonds. The issue passed with 67% approval.
In May 2020 The district awarded the construction contract to TRICO Companies of Burlington. They started the project in June 2020 and are expected to completed in 10 months or April/May of 2021.

Lagos State House of AssemblyPress ReleaseFunfare As Agege Community Adopts Ambode, Obasa, Ogundimu For Another Term

The Agege community on Thursday, 15 March, 2018, rose in unison to endorse Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa and Hon Oluyinka Ogundimu for another term in office.
The community at a rally in Agege agreed that Ambode should be re-elected to continue in office as Governor of Lagos State; Rt. Hon. Obasa should be supported to return as the Speaker of the state House of Assembly; and Honourable Ogundimu should be re-elected as member representing Agege Constituency 2 in the state House of Assembly.
The Vice Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC, for Lagos West Senatorial District, Chief Funsho Ologunde; APC chieftain and member of the Governor's Advisory Committee (GAC), Professor Tunde Samuel; Iyaloja General for Lagos State, Chief (Mrs.) Folashade Tinubu-Ojo who spoke at the event confirmed that in view of the huge achievements of the Ambode administration particularly in Agege, it becomes imperative for Agege people to endorse not only Ambode but also Rt.

Both Obasa and Ogundimu have been playing the needed supportive roles for the Governor. Therefore, for this good work to continue, I urge you all to support our Governor, Speaker and Ogundimu for another term in office," Chief Ologunde said.
This was re-echoed by Chief (Mrs) Tinubu-Ojo who was represented by Alhaja Toyin Kudus.

Looks like, Xiaomi is all set to launch its third Redmi phone of the year after the popular Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro –Xiaomi Redmi S2. Shutting all rumours about the launch timeline, Xiaomi has now officially teased to launch the Redmi S2 on May 10. Xiaomi officially confirmed the rumors of an upcoming Redmi S2 phone on its Weibo page. On the social media network, the company released an image, revealing a pink phone in the hands of the Chinese actor Turbo Liu. The device will be introduced on May 10 in the city of Nanjing, China.
Xiaomi has released the Redmi S2 teaser on the Chinese micro-blogging site – Weibo. The teaser carries the term "Surprise", with the letter "S" mostly highlighted, hinting at the coming of Redmi S2. Alongside the term "Surprise" the teaser also includes the date May 10. According to reports, the Redmi S2 will hit China first, followed by other markets including India. In China, Xiaomi Redmi S2 is expected to be available on Suning.com. As of now, there's no official word on the India launch of the phone, however, we can expect Xiaomi to launch the device very soon, probably in the next couple of months or so. Another teaser of the Redmi S2 has been leaked showing off the letter 'S' in red and blue colour.
The phone is advertised as a selfie device, with previous rumors suggesting a 16 MP snapper. Other specs include dual camera on the back, 5.99" tall display with HD resolution and 3/32 GB combo.
Xiaomi Redmi S2 has been subjected to several leaks and rumours ahead of the launch. In this particular case, a source out of the Czech Pepublic, appears to offer high-resolution photos and detailed specs on the still unofficial device.As far as the design is concerned, the smartphone is expected to boast off the similar design as the recently launched Redmi Note 5 Pro and Mi 6X, which is said to come to India as Mi A2. The Redmi S2 has already appeared on TENAA and 3C certification benchmarking sites.
Redmi S2 is equipped with an 5.99-inch, 18:9, IPS display, rocking a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels, or HD+. It is powered by the tried, true and efficient Snapdragon 625 chipset, along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage.
The dual rear camera setup, arranged in the new Xiaomi vertical fashion, consists of a 12MP main snapper and a 5MP secondary one. No word on the selfie from the new source. But previous leaks hint at a 16MP unit. One notable mismatch in the new info is the battery capacity. The Czech site claims their unit has a 4,205 mAh sealed-in pack. Quite an improvement over the previously suggested 3,000 mAh.
Other details about the Redmi S2 include an Android 8.1, Oreo ROM, a rear-mounted fingerprint reader and 3.5mm audio jack. The latter two are clearly visible on some of the hands-on shots and so is the dated microUSB connector, Xiaomi is unfortunately still sticking with.Speaking of the photos, the unit they showcase is clearly a pre-production one, as evident by the markings on the front and back. Apparently, the source has some affiliation with a Xiaomi store, opening for business in the Czech Republic today. That seems like a viable enough explanation as to where the device came from, although we are still not entirely sure the owners won't get into trouble for the early reveal.
Regardless, we get to see the Redmi S2 up close as well. Plus, the source also features an invitation to attend the store's grand opening in Prague today and potentially even see the Redmi S2 unit in person. There should also be promotions and special offers on location. If you happen to be be nearby, it might be worth checking out.

High Interest Savings Accounts vs. Cash Isa
High interest saving accounts may not be the best for an investor but offers diversification and risk free mechanisms for creating wealth. These provide constant growth at the rate of compound interest. In the year 2017-2018, the number of new cash Isa accounts reduced in the UK in comparison to 2016 -2017, as per the latest statistics of HMRC. High rates are offered on the fixed rate account but it locks money for the specific duration that varies from one to five years.
Saving account vs. stock and shares Isa
Some investors shift to stock and shares Isa as it provides tax-free income but the total allowance for the year is £20,000. One can move account from cash Isa to stocks and shares or diversify in the two. The returns on such stocks and shares Isa was up to 13 per cent in 2017 and 16.6 –per cent in 2016, but in the earlier years i.e. 2014 and 2015, the returns were less than 1.1 per cent, while, in 2013 the growth was more than 20 per cent.
Investing in stocks and shares Isa can provide variable returns but if the stock market shows negative growth –earnings may reduce. Further, returns are not related to the number of years of investment; rather, it can provide highly volatile returns. The risk factors of investment in stocks and shares Isa include climatic issues, political changes and economic crashes. These are unpredictable events making it highly risky investment.
Saving account or fixed rate account provide predictable regular income. Many saving accounts offer rates better than cash Isas but the investment has to be made for a year at least. Diversifying in leading fixed rate saving accounts can get 0.39 per cent more than cash Isas. The rates vary in the range of 2 to 3 per cent on money saved for 2 to 3 years. The earnings from such saving accounts are not tax free as in cash Isa. Basic tax payers are allowed saving up to £1,000 per annum, and higher tax payers are allowed to save £500 per annum.
Creating high yield bank accounts online
Alternatively, one can invest in high interest current accounts, where some of the deposits yield more than 4 per cent interest per annum. E.g. TSB Plus account and Tesco Bank offers 5 per cent on min. deposits £1,500, and 3 per cent AER on deposits £3,000 respectively. In TSB one has to deposit min. £500 a month, and in Tesco Bank account, one has to deposit min. £750 a month.
There are many overseas banks offering saving accounts with zero minimum balance. Some online banks offer high yield saving account such as Goldman Sachs pays up to 1.85 per cent APY on deposits and min. balance required to open the account is $1.
Synchrony is another bank, which offers saving account and also an ATM. It pays interest 1.85 per cent.

She was back at school last week and lovin' it.
On Friday we went to the Children's Hospital to have x-rays taken of her hips and spine again. We will find out results on Tuesday. Children with Cerebral Palsy (and brain injuries in general) have a tendacy to get scoliosis and hip subluxation. Their bending and twisty bodies pull their skeletal system "out of wack."
I'm O.K. with a curving spine (to a certain degree) but I'm NOT O.K. with her hips coming out of the socket. We get x-rays every 6 months. Last year her spine stayed at a 13 degree curve all year (no big deal)! Her right hip stayed at a 25 % subluxation (no big deal)! But her left hip stayed at a 40% subluxation (starting to be a deal).
The good news is ~ there was no changes all year!
The bad news is ~ if a hip becomes 100% subluxed it means it is completely uncovered (or out of the socket). That usually means a rather extensive surgery and recovery. I'm REALLY praying that things have stayed the same.
It actually works pretty well for her. And by releasing the tightness in her ankles it seems to calm down the tension all the way up to her back.
We are also doing a trial of "upping" her Baclofen medication (which is a muscle relaxer) to see if that helps the tightness, or just causes her to be weaker and sleepy.
If oral baclofen relaxes the tension in her hips and hamstrings ~ it's a good thing.
And she is not your classic spastic case. Her muscles don't stay tight like many children. She has dystonic posturing (where she essentially tightens us certain places at times but she can release and move the muscles, too).
She is laying under a table of balloons and trying to reach up and bat the balloons. She was having more fun trying to lick the balloons.
And she was in her stander with a tray of Fruit Loops (which she loves) and pushing them around. Notice the sippy cup in her HAND!!! She held it for a few seconds and even pulled it up to her mouth. Oh, how excited I will be when she can drink by herself.
p.s. - if you're visiting, and have an extra minute, please post a comment. I LOVE to hear from you. It really makes my day to read a comment.
We have returned from a great week in Richmond, VA participating in CME Medek Therapy. I took Suzy to work with a Medek therapist (Sarah Kranz) and Jenny came along to help! We had met Sarah last year when we went to NY to do CME Therapy. Fortunately for us, Sarah has now moved to Richmond which is only 2 hours away from home!!!!!
We have not done any CME Medek for a year. I felt it was too far away and too expensive to go to NY as frequently as was needed. (However, we have always LOVED this type of therapy) Now that a therapist is in Richmond it's worth taking a second try.
CME Medek is a very intense physical therapy program that challenges the child's motor planning skills and balance abilities. It takes a HUGE committment from us because the CME Medek protocol is to go to a therapist for 5 days, and learn new exercises, and then come home and DO the exercises twice a day with Suzy.
If it was just me - well..... I don't think I could re-visit this therapy program.
However, I took Jenny with me to Richmond and she is also getting trained in the exercises. SO, maybe between the 2 of us we can make a committment to really try this out.
The "plan" is to go to Richmond and meet with Sarah every month for about 4 days. Sarah will work with Suzy, Jenny and myself to become increasingly better at various exercises. Then, Jenny and I will share the work at home by doing the exercises with Suzy each day.
In February we will also be going to New Jersey for 1 week to do CME Medek with a "long time professional" and see what he is like (Azriel Novogrodor). He comes HIGHLY recommended.
Then, we will re-evaluate our Medek committment in 6 months and see where we are, and how the 6 months have effected Suzy.
I am very excited about the possibilities.
After being with Sarah and starting up Medek again I already saw some awesome gains with Suzy - and this was all from just ONE WEEK. She amazed me.
I feel like maybe she is READY for it this year!
I am going to pray that God guides us on this journey. I'm sure He will. He always does.
I posted a video of Suzy doing 3 (of the 20) exercises with Sarah. Most of the exercises involve putting Suzy into a 'body situation' and then waiting for her to respond. (*practice makes perfect*).
The first is called "Squat-to-Stand" - she is rolled up into a squatting position and then we WAIT for her to stand up! She did great at this.
The second is called "Straddle-Side-Sit"- she straddles our waiste, is rolled to her side, and she must USE her SIDE muscles to pull herself up to a sit.
I'll keep you posted on her progress!!
It's time to make resolutions….and I'm awful at it.
I make them – but I don't stick to them.
The challenge is simple: lose the long list of changes you want to make this year and instead pick ONE WORD. This process provides clarity. One word focuses on your character and creates a vision for your future. When you choose a single word, you have a single focus. You are moving toward the future rather than swearing off the past.
I can do this! I can pick one word to live by in 2011. For that matter, so can my whole family. I made everyone pick a word.
I decided on this word because I tend to complain (mainly these past couple of years).
So I'm going stop complaining about Suzy's progress, my weight, our finances, traffic, lack of sleep, cleaning, inflation, the future, etc.
Instead I'm going to PRAISE.
I'm PRAISING my incredible husband and our strong marriage.
I'm PRAISING my girls –Gracie, Maggie and Suzy!
And PRAISE healthy, low fat foods.
I'm going to PRAISE so much that I make everyone nauseous.
In 2010 I had a lot to praise – I just didn't appreciate it enough. This year is going to be different. I pray that after months of making myself PRAISE instead of complain I will start to really feel it and live it. And PRAISING will be an ingrained part of my soul. And that will make me a happier and better person.
Wanna join me? How about picking your own word? If you do, PLEASE share it with me!! I would love to hear about it. We can support each other! Post it under COMMENTS.
Speaking of PRAISING – check out the new PHOTOS under PRAISING SUZY. And watch my new attitude unfold.
The Booze Crew is good. 'Tis the season to be jolly! Right??
Suzy has had 2 minor sicknesses (cold and cough) and gotten over both very quickly.
She continues to do well in school. I still praise God everyday for the 3 teachers that she has.
I posted pictures of these great therapy sessions under "PHOTOS - Showing Off At PT"
We have not traveled anywhere in 6 weeks! We have not had the time or money to make any trips. Gracie and Maggie have been happy to have us home. I welcome the rest; but I can't help but worry that we should be doing MORE!! and SOON!
I am planning a trip to New Jersey in January to do a week of Medek Therapy. And I hope to get back to her ABM therapist, Carla Reed, in Northern Va soon after that.
My heart is sad when I'm shopping.
Twice last week I was in Toys R Us. And twice I started to cry. I see all of the wonderful toys she SHOULD be playing with - and all of the things I would love to be able to buy for her - doll houses, babies, toy kitchens, and bikes. Things that a normal 3 year old would love.
0-6 month old babies......... things that she might actually have a chance to play with...and I find that I am still mourning our loss.
The "happiness" comes when I remember that we received a miracle - we have another Christmas with our baby. We were never supposed to have another Christmas with her. And we never know how many more we will be blessed with. We cherish our days with her. And we thank God everyday that He let us keep her. He is in control, and only HE knows her future. I'm just grateful that He trusts us to care for her, and love her.
I pray that everyone has a safe and happy and HEALTHY holiday.
Are you there? It's me, Whitney.
God, I was wondering if you could pay her journal some attention?
The journal asked Maggie, "What are your secret dreams?"
1. my sister, Suzy, getting better. I dream that she can walk and talk and sing.
2. getting my own Yorkie puppy.
The journal asked, "What's the best dream you ever had?"
And Maggie wrote I dreamed that Suzy was normal again. She was playing with me, and we were riding bikes together.
And I also dreamed that I could really really really fly.
The journal asked, "What do you think your dreams mean?"
And Maggie wrote I just can't forget about that night when the ambulance came, and took Suzy to the hospital, and she didn't wake up. And I miss her more than anything. If I could change anything, it would be to please please please make her a normal person again.
God, Maggie is pretty sensitive. And she really loves her sister. Do you think you could help Maggie with some of her dreams? Could you help comfort her when she is dreaming bad dreams? God, I need you to watch over my precious Mag-Pie.


One of the simplest ways to update the look of your home is to add window treatments, but they can be a big investment.
In today's Thrifty Thursday..there are ways you can maximize your money and create a big impact. Sandra Hanna, our smart cookie, is here with what she did recently in her house and you can too!


The main thing this chapter is about, is that God took on the life of a baby, a man, lived and breathed and spoke of who He was and what it meant. He died a physically terrible human death, and then came back from that into life.
Also, that the natural life of each of us is something self-centered and obstinate. It does not like anything stronger or higher that would make it feel small or weak.
That your part and mine is to believe that He is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, and to draw close to Him, and to lay ourself open to Him.
And within those actions of the heart and mind is the wonderful mystery of the Holy Spirit and connection with the God of Abraham, Moses, David, Isaac, and Joseph. The God Almighty. A life with, and belonging to, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

There was a huge amount of hype surrounding Windows 10 ahead of its release earlier this year, but another Microsoft product may have been even more worthy of our attention. The company's HoloLens gave us a glimpse of what computing in the near future may be like, and it was awesome. But Microsoft is hardly the first company to dive into augmented reality. Long before Microsoft ever showed off its HoloLens product, a somewhat low-profile company called Magic Leap was busy behind the scenes cooking up an exciting augmented reality experience that we just got a taste of late last night.
During the WSJD technology conference on Tuesday night, Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz said on stage that his company is building "an operating system for reality." Ambitious though it may seem, it appears as though Magic Leap is well on its way. Since taking on $542 million in funding from Google's investment arm, Magic Leap has made great progress toward creating a paradigm-shifting augmented reality experience.
While virtual reality immerses the viewer in a digital world, augmented reality (AR) places a digital layer over the viewer's actual surroundings. For example, imagine walking down the street and seeing arrows floating in mid air that direct your path, rather than having to glance down at Google Maps on your smartphone for guidance. Imagine building a 3D model of something in the air in front of you, instead of with a mouse on a computer screen. These are the types of experiences companies like Magic Leap will enable.
Magic Leap's new video was created without using any special effects or other types of manipulation. This is indeed the experience the company's current prototype hardware offers, placing virtual objects in the user's field of view that are incorporated with his or her physical surroundings.
This is the second video Magic Leap has posted to YouTube, but it's the first to give us a look at what using an actual Magic Leap device will be like. The company's earlier video was posted this past March, but it was merely a concept video created using special effects and intended to model the Magic Leap experience.

Top 20 most expensive cities in the world revealed in new study 15 6th Jan 2012 A new study examining the top twenty most expensive cities in the world has been released with some perhaps surprising results.
