Malcolm in the middle: comedy at its best!
Malcolm in the Middle is a popular US comedy based television series. This program is the brain child of Linwood Boomer and it was created to be aired on the Fox Network. This series was broadcasted for the first time on January 2000, and it continued to be aired for the next six-and-a-half-years until it ended on May 2006, after around seven seasons and as much as 151 episodes were aired. The series won the Peabody Award, received several critical acclaims. It also won around nine Emmy Awards, 1 Grammy Award and was nominated for nearly 7 Golden Globes awards.
The series follows a teenager called Malcolm who has two other older brothers and one younger brother. All of them live together with their mom and dad.
The plot of Malcolm in the Middle centers around a weird family and the protagonist Malcolm is the second in line amongst his other two brothers. This is where the show derives its name from. The elder brother has been sent to a boarding school as his folks believe that will discipline him and he won't turn out to be a trouble maker. Malcolm has his problems with the family but he is all the more disturbed when he is identified as a young prodigy and attracts special attention from his school. The family in the TV series Malcolm in the Middle hails from an unknown place. The plot of Malcolm in the Middle during the initial seasons focused on Malcolm and his travails but in the later seasons it went on to focus on the lives of the characters around Malcolm.
As suggested in the title itself, the protagonist of this popular TV serial Malcolm in the Middle, Malcolm is the middle child of Wilkerson family. He has two older brothers- Francis and Reese, and two younger brothers Dewey and Jamie. The role of Malcolm is played by Frankie Muniz. The older brothers' roles are portrayed by Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield. Erik Per Sullivan portrayed the character of Dewey. There is an interesting fact about the actor playing the role of Jamie. Twin brothers James and Lukas Rodriguez played James. The child James was played by twin sisters Kara and Jessica Sanford. Hal and Loi Wilkerson are the parents of these five brothers. Their characters are played by Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek.
Ever since its television debut in 2000, Malcolm in the middle has been widely appreciated as one of the funniest and touching shows on television. This has led to international popularity, with the show being presently broadcast in all of 57 countries. There have been seven seasons so far and that is testimony enough to the shows long standing appeal. Malcolm in the middle has had a lot of critical acclaim to its credit as well, including nine Emmys and all of seven Golden Globe nominations. Even though the original season seven ended in 2006, the re-runs across all the broadcasters still attracts a lot of viewer-ship. This means that the show is still popular amongst youngsters the world over and the renewed high definition telecast is generating significant viewer interest.


There's a very interesting reason behind the Duchess' new neutral wardrobe.
Since Meghan Markle tied the knot with Prince Harry last month, the new Duchess of Sussex has made just a handful of public appearances.
First up was the Prince of Wales' 70th Birthday Patronage Celebration at Buckingham Palace—an event Harry and Meghan postponed their honeymoon to attend—where the Duchess wore a semi-sheer ivory Goat dress, finished with a matching hat.
This weekend Meghan attended the annual Trooping Of The Colour ceremony to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's birthday wearing a blush, off-the-shoulder Carolina Herrera number, complete with button detailing and a pastel fascinator.
And overnight the Duchess made her first solo engagement with Queen Elizabeth II to mark the opening of the new Mersey Gateway Bridge. Her outfit of choice? An bespoke oatmeal Givenchy look featuring a mini box-shoulder cape.
One thing all three post-wedding outfits have in common is that they're in a neutral colour palette.
Prior to her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan always experimented with colours in her wardrobe, with red considered one of her favourites. So what's changed?
Well, it's all about the Queen. When Meghan is on an official outing with Her Majesty—who's famous for her brightly coloured co-ordinates—it's imperative that the newest royal's outfit doesn't clash. Given the restrictive dress code, you can't really go wrong with neutrals.
Secondly, it's a practical move.
"She needs to stand out for people to be able to say 'I saw the Queen,'" her Majesty's daughter-in-law Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, revealed as part of the Smithsonian Channel documentary The Queen at 90.
In short, Meghan's new wardrobe appears to be a sign of respect paid towards her important in-law.

Q: BrowserMob Proxy is not opening 2nd page in chrome (Internet connection goes off after landing to 2nd page) I'm running Windows 10 virtual machine on ubuntu, and on VM I have following versions :-
Eclipse neon, Selenium Webdriver 3.0.1, Mozilla Firefox 51.0.1, Google Chrome 55, geckoDriver v0.11.1, Chromedriver v2.27, BrowserMob Proxy jar 2.1.4, jackson-all-1.7.3.jar, harlib-1.1.2.jar
I wanted to read browser traffics in selenium and for that i opted for BrowserMob proxy. I have 2 page of communication on the browser  like Authenticates url, Lands on the 1st page clicks a dropdown menu (link) and lands on the 2nd page
When the second page opens the page does not load but the calls are going behind. What i noticed is in the VM when the second page loads internet connectivity goes off at that page only (internet sign stops blinking).
When i Reboot both the VM & the host machine and then execute the code. It loads the page at first attempt after fresh reboot of the system then again, if i execute the same code same problem persists.
But the traffic data is getting logged in the file. The same code if i try to execute in geckodriver(Firefox) then the page is getting loaded but traffic is not getting captured.capturing only specific urls from the log data
I have stuck in both the ways.  Please find below the code :-

With ChromeDriver logs are getting generated but the page is not loading. With firefox page is loading but logs are not captured (I think for geckodriver browsermob proxy is not compatible or this feature isn't available yet)
Am i missing anything or what is the issue ? Stuck on this since more than a week. Tried the above on ubuntu to but facing the same issue.
Any help on this issue is much appreciated.

I really do not think my heart is in things. Since I was a little girl, I have felt content with what I have materially. Even now, when my adult kids ask me what I want for Christmas, I pause for a moment, with a blank mind. I have to search to come up with a list.
Rather a strange state to be in because this is not the result of spiritual striving, fasting or prayer, it is just how I am. Living with little people has only strengthened an innate tendency to enjoy the little things, to be grateful to be alive and in communion with the Spirit. In addition, as a large family with barely enough cash but many blessings, we have experienced many incidents of God's providence.

Q: date_format(from_unixtime()) subselect very slow I have the following query I'm trying to use to spit out each day in a date range and show the # of leads, assignments, & returns:
select
date_format(from_unixtime(date_created), '%m/%d/%Y') as date_format,
(select count(distinct(id_lead)) from lead_history where (date_format(from_unixtime(date_created), '%m/%d/%Y') = date_format) and (id_vertical in (2)) and (id_website in (3,8))) as leads,
(select count(id) from assignments where deleted=0 and (date_format(from_unixtime(date_assigned), '%m/%d/%Y') = date_format) and (id_vertical in (2)) and (id_website in (3,8))) as assignments,
(select count(id) from assignments where deleted=1 and (date_format(from_unixtime(date_deleted), '%m/%d/%Y') = date_format) and (id_vertical in (2)) and (id_website in (3,8))) as returns
from lead_history
where date_created between 1509494400 and 1512086399
group by date_format

The date_created, date_assigned, and date_deleted fields are integers representing timestamps. id, id_lead, id_vertical and id_website are already indexed.
Would adding indexes to date_created, date_assigned, date_deleted, and deleted help make this faster? The issue I'm having is that it is very slow, and I'm not sure an index will help when using date_format(from_unixtime(...
Here is the EXPLAIN:

A: Looking to your code you could rewrite the query as  ..
  select
      date_format(from_unixtime(date_created), '%m/%d/%Y') as date_format
      , count(distinct(h.id_lead) as leads
      , sum(case a.deleted = 1 then 1 else 0 end) assignments
      , sum(case b.deleted = 0 then 1 else 0 end) returns
  from lead_history  h
  inner join assignments on  a a.date_assigned = h.date_created
        and a.id_vertical = 2
        and id_website in (3,8))
  inner join assignments on  b b.deleted = h.date_created
        and a.id_vertical = 2
        and id_website in (3,8))
  where date_created between 1509494400 and 1512086399
  group by date_format

anyway  you shold avoid unuseful () and nested (),  avoid unuseful conversion between  date  and use join instead of subselect  .. or at least reduce similar sabuselect using case
PS for what concern the index remember that the use of conversion on a column value invalid the use of related the index ..

Banning Bikinis and Booze – Advertising, Censorship, and Sexism – Episode 21 – The Digital Dive Podcast
by Emily Binder | Jun 12, 2013 | Podcast
This week, Melanie and I focus on advertising, censorship, sexism, and the media. Where should we draw the line between free speech and offensive content? Does controversy and banning empower the content or spark an important dialogue? Enjoy our heated debate.
Flickr announced in late May that every user will get a free terabyte of space
Windows 8: Less talking, more doing commercial for Asus Vivo Tablet mocks the iPad using Siri's voice. The Windows tablet at 64GB is $449 vs. $699 for a 64GB iPad. Windows jabs the iPad for not being able to multitask (in the desktop sense of the word) and lacking Powerpoint (which is a weak point).
Censorship and Sexism in Advertising – At Home and Abroad:
3.1. Turkey to ban alcohol ads
The Turkish Parliament passed legislation on May 24, 2013 to ban advertising of alcohol and to outlaw sales of alcoholic drinks between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. except in tourist zones.
Sparked riots and protests in Istanbul and Ankura
Not unheard of: Los Angeles City Council considering a city-wide ban on alcohol advertising on municipal property; already prohibited on bus benches
Philadelphia already operates such a ban
San Francisco bans alcohol advertising on public transport
Alcohol ads are already mostly banned in Sweden, Malaysia, and Russia
US standard: alcohol ads can only be placed in media where 70% of the audience is over the legal drinking age (21)
Ofcom (the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries) has called for a review into existing rules – which ban alcohol ads from airing in shows that appeal to under-18s – after finding that between 2007 and 2011, number of alcohol commercials seen by children rose almost 19%
3.2 "Sexist and degrading" Pamela Anderson commercial for Crazy Domains banned in UK
The Australian commercial was first broadcast in 2010 and was banned shortly thereafter. Much like the notoriously sexist GoDaddy Superbowl ads in the US, this ad for another web hosting company depicts females as sex objects to be consumed… but this time they are in a business setting. We're not going to embed the video but you can view it at the Huff Post link below.
Australian Advertising Standards Board decided the bikini sequence was sexist, exploitative and had 'no relevance to the product.' –Huffington Post
Last week, the Crazy Domains commercial was allowed to air in the UK after 9PM. A few days later on 6/5/13, the British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned it but with different reasoning:
We considered it gave the impression that he viewed his female colleagues as sexual objects to be lusted after. Because of that, we considered the ad was likely to cause serious offence to some viewers. -ASA
"Crazy Domains' parent company Dreamscape Networks insisted that the dream sequence was not "gratuitous or pornographic", saying it portrayed the women as 'attractive, dynamic and confident business people.'" Dreamscape Networks is based in Dubai…
We discuss censorship in advertising, the media's portrayal of women, and argue over whether marketing and media inform culture and shape our minds, or gain their power from the attention society gives to controversial content.
Startling statistics about lack of female leaders (the US ranks 90th in terms of number of women in legislative positions, behind China, Iraq, Cuba and more). 67 nations have had female presidents or prime ministers. The US is not one.
Who is responsible for perpetuating stereotypes? Should we blame an ad for misrepresentation of women, or the society that makes the ad successful?
2010 documentary film Miss Representation "exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media's limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself."

Turning DVDs into ash trays
California makes some terrific anti-smoking ads. Good thing, because DVD viewers will be seeing a lot of them.
The major Hollywood studios, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the showbiz nannies at the Entertainment Industry Foundation just announced an agreement that will place the state's PSAs on all DVD movies that include scenes of smoking and are rated G, PG, or PG-13.
I just watched the opening of the "21" DVD, which comes out in a week. After a Blu-ray promo, there's a zippy PSA named "Idols," in which a cowboy, rapper and flapper girl strut for tobacco companies, only to be rebutted by a spooky lung cancer patient in a wheelchair. Great spot.
Let's expand the concept. If there's drinking in the movie, surely there's a need to place a warning. Those pirates of the Caribbean love their grog, after all. Young buccaneers just might get the wrong idea. Alcohol serves up far more misery in this world than smoking.
Cartoon villains in "101 Dalmatians" and "Ratatouille" abuse animals. Horrid example for kids. Let's head off that hateful behavior as well.
Plenty of references to drug use can be found in PG-13 movies. Another slick video warning will help.
Why not. The home video industry has lost all shyness about using the opening minutes of a disc as a promotional dumping ground. Lately, every other DVD seems to have a noisy extended pitch for the Blu-ray format. Even if you're watching in Blu-ray.
Most of us recall the obnoxious MTV-like spot about software piracy that opened Fox DVDs for a couple of years. The one with the blaring siren.
Then there are the movie trailers, love them or hate them. (Or both.) DVD labels increasingly disable the advance-to-main-menu command, forcing viewers to chapter-skip trailer by trailer. I hit one the other night where fast-forward was the sole way of escaping the cavalcade of movie ads. There are more trailers than ever.
Now comes a swarm of mandated PSAs. For an entire class of films. For one social ill.
To be fair, the industry was pressured by a coalition of 40-some states to include the spots on DVDs. "We hope that these ads, placed in DVDs and videos, will help deter young people from ever taking up this deadly habit," New York's attorney general said a few years ago. (He was running for governor.)
The group pointed out that "public service announcements already appear on (DVDs) for many worthwhile causes and organizations." How true. Just like late-night TV.
Instead of this screwy policy, studios should make a case-by-case decision to include a PSA (anti-smoking, alcohol, drugs) or a more substantial piece of communication on a problematic title that skews young. No, that doesn't mean every PG-13 movie with characters who smoke.
And the video industry should take a good look at how much unwelcome advertising marches in front of the expensive DVD movies that consumers bring into their homes.

I can't decide which are more annoying - the anti-smoking ones, or those damn "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR" anti-piracy notices that are ALWAYS UNSKIPPABLE. The hyperbole is typical of PSAs ("oh, well, I was about to download a movie on The Google, but now that I know it's morally equivalent to stealing at $20,000 car, I really mustn't!"). You know what, government, we can take care of ourselves. No, really.

Single-ended signaling is the simplest and most commonly used method of transmitting electrical signals over wires. One wire carries a varying voltage that represents the signal, while the other wire is connected to a reference voltage, usually ground. The main alternative to single-ended signaling is called differential signaling where the two conductors carry signals equal in magnitude but of opposite electric polarity.

Single-ended signaling is less expensive to implement than differential, but it has a distinct disadvantage: a single-ended system requires a power supply voltage equal to the maximum amplitude of the signal to be received whereas a differential system only requires a voltage half of the signal amplitude to be received. For a given power supply voltage then, a differential system produces signals of twice the amplitude and therefore has twice as good noise immunity (6 dB higher signal-to-noise ratio) as a single-ended system.

The main advantage of single-ended over differential signaling is that fewer wires are needed to transmit multiple signals. If there are n signals, then there are n+1 wires, one for each signal and one for ground, while differential signaling uses at least 2n wires. A disadvantage of single-ended systems that utilize a common return is that the return currents for all the signals use the same conductor (even if separate ground wires are used, the grounds are inevitably connected together at each end), and this can sometimes cause interference (crosstalk) between the signals.

Standards
Single-ended signaling is widely used, and can be seen in numerous common transmission standards, including:
 RS-232 serial communications
 PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors
 I²C serial bus
 TTL circuits
 CMOS logic circuits
 ECL circuits
 Most parallel computer buses, such as:
 VMEbus
 PCI
 VGA video connectors
 SCSI interfaces for hard drives and other peripherals
 Parallel ATA interfaces for hard drives and other peripherals

Connectors
A wide range of connectors can be used for single-ended signaling. Some common connectors for domestic and entertainment equipment include;
Some kinds of connectors, though more often used for balanced pairs, are sometimes used for single-ended operation:
 RCA jacks (phono connectors)
 jack plugs

Example
The widely used RS-232 system is an example of single-ended signaling, which uses ±12 V to represent a signal, and anything less than ±3 V to represent the lack of a signal. The high voltage levels give the signals some immunity from noise, since few naturally occurring signals can create a voltage of such magnitude. They also have the advantage of requiring only one wire per signal. However, they also have a serious disadvantage: they cannot run at high speeds. The effects of capacitance and inductance, which filter out high-frequency signals, limit the speed.

Historically, electrical telegraph used single-ended signaling with earth return, thus completely eliminating the need to provide a return conductor and substantially reducing the cost of long distance lines. Telegraph is the earliest use of the single-ended transmission line type, but is now obsolete.

Just a quick post as I've decided to write a simplified standalone version of a game to get some game mechanics designed. As a way of storing information that would have been stored I though I would use XML for the "Static" information which brings me to the great XML literals addition to vb.NET. Makes the code so much more readable and it also allows auto complete and error checking while you type it.
Below is a snippet of code to give an example of how the data is generated.

Unia, het Interfederaal Gelijkekansencentrum, is een onafhankelijke openbare instelling die discriminatie bestrijdt en gelijke kansen bevordert in België.

Geschiedenis

Oprichting
Het Centrum werd onder de naam Centrum voor gelijkheid van kansen en voor racismebestrijding opgericht bij wet van 15 februari 1993, met als doel discriminatie te bestrijden. Daarmee volgde het het Koninklijk Commissariaat voor de Migranten (1989-1993) op, waarmee Paula D'Hondt belast was geweest. Er was een nood aan een permanente structuur om rassendiscriminatie te bestrijden en om gelijke kansen en integratie te bevorderen. Het Centrum is bij wet opgericht en krijgt haar opdrachten mee van het parlement.

Meer bevoegdheden
In 2003 krijgt het Centrum van de wetgever de opdracht om de overheid te informeren over de aard en de grootte van de migratiestromen en om te waken over het respect van de grondrechten van vreemdelingen. In datzelfde jaar wordt het Centrum door de Wet van 25 februari 2003 ter bestrijding van discriminatie ook bevoegd voor zogenoemde 'niet-raciale' vormen van discriminatie op grond van een handicap, seksuele geaardheid, leeftijd, geloof of overtuiging, een fysieke eigenschap enzovoort.

Met de Wet van 10 mei 2007 ter bestrijding van bepaalde vormen van discriminatie die de Europese richtlijn 2000/78/EG over gelijke behandeling in arbeid en beroep omzet, worden het algemene kader ter bestrijding van discriminatie in België en de taken van het Centrum verder uitgebreid.

In 2011 besloten de federale overheid, de gemeenschappen en de gewesten van België om Unia aan te wijzen als onafhankelijke instantie, verantwoordelijk voor de uitvoering, de bescherming en de opvolging van de uitvoering van het VN-verdrag inzake de Rechten van Personen met een Handicap.

In 2013 werden de opdrachten van het Centrum verdeeld over het Interfederaal Gelijkekansencentrum (Unia) en het Federaal Migratiecentrum (Myria). In het kader van de staatshervorming veranderde de rol en het statuut van het Centrum. De bevoegdheden werden uitgebreid tot die van de gewesten en gemeenschappen en het Centrum kreeg dus een interfederaal karakter.

In 2018 is Unia internationaal erkend als nationaal mensenrechteninstituut (NMRI met status B). In deze rol verdedigt het de mensenrechten in het kader van al zijn opdrachten en werkt het ook mee aan de evaluatie van België op het gebied van de mensenrechten.

Afscheiding Vlaanderen
Op 6 juli 2022 besliste de Vlaamse Regering om uit Unia te stappen, en een eigen centrum op te richten. Dit leidde tot de start van het Vlaams Mensenrechteninstituut op 15 maart 2023.

Opdrachten
De opdrachten van Unia werden op 3 april 2014 vastgelegd in een samenwerkingsakkoord tussen de federale overheid, de gewesten en de gemeenschappen.

De hoofdopdrachten van Unia zijn:
 Het bevorderen van de gelijkheid van kansen, het omgaan met de diversiteit in onze samenleving en het bestrijden van elke vorm van discriminatie op grond van een van deze 17 discriminatiecriteria: zogenaamd menselijk ras, huidskleur, afkomst, nationaliteit, nationale of etnische afstamming, seksuele geaardheid, burgerlijke staat, sociale positie, geboorte, vermogen, leeftijd, geloof of levensbeschouwing, gezondheidstoestand, politieke overtuiging, syndicale overtuiging, handicap of fysieke of genetische eigenschap.
 De taken vervullen die voorzien zijn in artikel 33 van het VN-verdrag inzake de rechten van personen met een handicap.

Unia is onder andere ook bevoegd om:
 Studies en onderzoeken uit te voeren die noodzakelijk zijn voor de uitvoering van die opdrachten.
 Onafhankelijke adviezen en aanbevelingen te geven aan overheden, privé-instellingen en personen.
 Personen bij te staan die raad vragen in verband met hun rechten en verplichtingen.
 Instellingen, organisaties en rechtshulpverleners te ondersteunen en te begeleiden.
 Sensibiliseringsacties te organiseren.
 In rechte op te treden bij specifieke rechtsgeschillen.

Unia is niet bevoegd voor:
 geslacht. In België is een specifiek orgaan opgericht voor kwesties rond de gelijkheid tussen vrouw en man en discriminatie op basis van het geslacht (met inbegrip van transgenders): het Instituut voor de gelijkheid van vrouwen en mannen.
 taal. Voor dit criterium is aan geen enkel overheidsorgaan een specifieke bevoegdheid toegewezen.

Bestuur

Directie
Els Keytsman en Patrick Charlier staan aan het roer van Unia en werden op 1 februari 2016 benoemd tot mededirecteuren van Unia voor een mandaat van 6 jaar.
Meer dan tien jaar lang was Johan Leman de eerste Vlaamse directeur; het Centrum was daarom beter bekend als het Centrum-Leman. In augustus 2003 nam Leman ontslag omdat hij het niet eens was met de toegenomen politisering van het Centrum. Hij werd opgevolgd door Jozef De Witte, die tot dan actief was bij 11.11.11. De Witte bleef directeur tot juni 2015.

Raad van bestuur
De raad van bestuur is samengesteld uit 21 leden en twee covoorzitters. Ze zijn benoemd voor 6 jaar en de raad van bestuur is als volgt samengesteld:
 10 leden aangeduid door de federale Kamer van volksvertegenwoordigers (5 Nederlandstaligen en 5 Franstaligen);
 11 leden aangeduid door de gemeenschappen en gewesten:
 4 leden worden aangeduid door het Vlaams Parlement;
 2 leden worden aangeduid door het Waals Parlement;
 2 leden worden aangeduid door het Parlement van de Franse Gemeenschap;
 2 leden worden aangeduid door het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Parlement (één Nederlandstalige en één Franstalige);
 1 lid aangeduid door het Parlement van de Duitstalige Gemeenschap, dat enkel deelneemt aan beslissingen over zaken die betrekking hebben op de Duitstalige Gemeenschap.

Met uitzondering van het Duitstalig lid, bestaat de raad van bestuur dus uit 20 leden met zowel verplichte genderpariteit als taalpariteit.

Shaireen Aftab en David Quinaux zijn de twee covoorzitters van Unia. Ze werden op de vergadering van 20 mei 2021 verkozen door de raad van bestuur.

Home based businesses furniture stores have come here to stay and there are different kinds of home based business, ranging from simple data entry jobs to eBay business. But the latest trend is drop shipping which does not need a huge investment; just a computer with good internet connection will do. It can be done either specializing in one product or a number of products. There are a few step by step processes to become successful in this type of business.
Establishing a niche for your products is the first step and a thorough research in the internet will help to do this effectively. To locate the groups of drop shipping, it is better to contact the manufacturers directly. This is due to the fact that most of the manufactures prefer to sell their products through drop shippers.
The next step is to make the public know your product and there are various promotional activities that would help to accomplish this. Creating a website of your own is one of the best methods that have practically proved to be successful.
Then you will have to create an account with the a few drop shippers.
Further improvement in the business is done by filling item orders with the help of providers and the secret behind the success is, to offer only good quality products and cost effective methods.
The number of loyal customers you have determines the success of drop shipping business.
It is advisable to have a tax id number to order products and this helps to keep away from scammers.
A tip to avoid losses is that if a product is found not to sell well, the web page or advertising site can be immediately taken off which saves you money.
Researching through eBay or other similar sites to get an idea of the kind of products that move fast helps to expand the business further.

Making friends is undoubtedly harder the older we get. But friends make life last longer. Literally. An Australian study found the survival time of older people with a circle of friends significantly enhanced. Harvard showed that a large social network provided a protective influence on cognitive function. So really, it's not only a fun way to travel, but healthy too. One of the best ways to make friends is to find something in common. Traveling in itself is already something in common with fellow travelers. Using that jumping off point and these handy tips, get ready to meet people, find new travel buddies, and make lasting friendships!
Let's give it up for the smile and nod. No matter what language you speak, or what awkward situation, the smile and nod can bring people together.
As I was reading through the many web articles listing the most inspiring travel books, I became more and more struck with the vast differences in each list and the sheer volume of books that exist about travel. Everyone has a story, and many of those stories are about travel; each traveler committed to self-discovery, enlightenment, and adventure. Maybe you may have heard of these books before (or seen the movies) so the synopses below are somewhat simplified. Check out the top 11 most popular books to inspire travel, wanderlust, and the search for happiness.
I'm not afraid of anything. Especially doing things alone. Being my own dinner date sans book? Check. Taking myself to the movies? Easy. Flying half-way around the world alone? Simple. But I sort of hate it.
