The Pro-Life Alliance of Gays And Lesbians [ Home ]
Free the March
Dear Members and Friends of the Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians,
By now many of you probably have heard of the arrest of Vice-President Erik Jurek and myself at the March for Life. Nellie Gray may believe that by having us arrested she will deter further participation of PLAGAL at the March for Life. Nothing could be further from the truth. What Nellie Gray has managed to do is make us more determined to open up the March for Life to all those who are peaceful participants under the pro-life banner. For PLAGAL members the March for Life has always been an outward protest of the Supreme Court's ruling of Roe v Wade which legalized abortion. It has also been a time for our members and Board of Directors to get together to discuss the accomplishments of the past year as well as the goals for the next year. We have also used it as a tool to motivate us to keep fighting for the pro-life cause for yet another year.
We have decided to turn this unfortunate incident into an opportunity to reach out to other pro-life groups. To build bridges and work toward the goal of solidarity that will strengthen the pro-life movement. We need to reiterate that abortion touches everyone. It knows no social or economic boundaries. It does not matter what religious affiliation you are, the color of your skin or which political party you belong to. It does not even matter whether you are gay or straight. We all have sisters, cousins, aunts and so on that can be in a position of a crisis pregnancy. Even some of the women within the pro-life movement itself have been in a position where pregnancy seemed a burden at the time. As long as we are human we are affected. That is why all people who are pro-life need to work together. We need to put aside our differences and work together to give women "real choices". Choices that are viable alternatives to abortion. Choices that empower women. By working together we can put an end to abortion on demand, as we know it today.
You may be asking yourself " How can I help?" The Board of Directors of PLAGAL has decided to put together a "FREE THE MARCH" fund. We will use this fund to purchase a new banner, pay expenses incurred from the arrest, and to pay for the expenses of the letter writing campaign and lobbying effort we are beginning. Please consider a donation to PLAGAL for this purpose. PLAGAL is a 501c3 organization and donations are tax deductible. It is our hope that with this fund we can reach those in the pro-life Movement who want to stand side by side with all those who are pro-life and work together to help women and their unborn children.
Cecilia Brown
President, PLAGAL

Q: How to move a view step by step by TranslateAnimation on android I want to move view from (-100, 0) to (-50, 1) to (10, 1) to (100, 2) step by
step.
I tried TranslateAnimation. but i failed.
It only works on the first step, after that is moving not like I set it.
This is my code:
x1 = (0-layoutW);
x2 = (45*Constant.metricW-layoutW);
y1 = layoutH;
y2 = ((356-layoutH)*Constant.metricH);
Animation step1 = new TranslateAnimation(
            Animation.ABSOLUTE, x1, Animation.ABSOLUTE, x2,
            Animation.ABSOLUTE, y1, Animation.ABSOLUTE, y2 );
step1.setStartOffset(300);
step1.setDuration(100);
step1.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
animationSet.addAnimation(step1);

x1 = (45*Constant.metricW-layoutW);
x2 = (86*Constant.metricW-layoutW);
y1 = ((356-layoutH)*Constant.metricH);
y2 = ((288-layoutH)*Constant.metricH);
Animation step2 = new TranslateAnimation(x1, x2, y1, y2);
step2.setStartOffset(400);
step2.setDuration(100);
step2.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
step2.setFillAfter(true);
animationSet.addAnimation(step2);

Did i miss anything?
Thanks.

A: I think the problem is the set performs all animation at once
You could try with
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/Animation.AnimationListener.html
adding the next step onAnimationEnd()

Biennale of Sydney, 2010 – Opening Artists party
Art / Biennale of Sydney
John Engelen
Australia's largest contemporary visual arts event started in 1973. The exhibition is held only every two years in leading art venues and public sites, and is renowned for showcasing the freshest and most innovative contemporary art from Australia and around the world.
Last night was the "Opening night" of the 17th Biennale of Sydney, and 1,000 people were invited to Cockatoo Island by ferry to the Gala party.
In the impressive Cockatoo Island Turbine Hall is "Inopportune: Stage One", a nine-car installation re-enacting a Ford Taurus car somersaulting through the air. Each suspended vehicle represents a moment in time, like stills from a video. Colourful flashing LED lights gave the piece a theatrical tone that added to the experiential element of the work.
Turbine Hall / panorama photos above by Peter Murphy

A video work by Cai Guo-Qiang entitled Illusion depicts a car exploding in Times Square, New York.
Contemporary Australian indigenous artist Brook Andrew developed this artwork concept for the Biennale. The 7 metre square inflatable jumping castle is decorated with patterns based on Wiradjuri design, a distinctive feature in Andrew's extensive body of work. Towering over those who choose to interact with the work, stands a 3 metre tall male figure with arms outstretched.
Born 1970 in Sydney / Lives and works in Melbourne, Australia
In his photographs, screen prints, neon text pieces, videos, sculptures and museum installations, Brook Andrew looks into the causes and effects of the inequalities between Australia's original inhabitants, and its more recent settlers.
He inserts the culture and motifs of his Wiradjuri heritage into many of his works while incorporating a diversity of references that include the media, politics, popular culture, nationalism, and colonial and anthropological histories.
A contemporary war memorial titled Jumping Castle War Memorial (2010) is a seven-metre-wide 'bouncy castle', designed as if it were an attraction for children. But it is presented with a catch: only adults over 16 will be allowed to jump on it.
On closer examination, we see that its plastic enclosed turrets contain skulls that represent those often forgotten peoples who were the victims of genocide worldwide. The diamond black and white pattern references Wiradjuri culture and represents the experience of cultural amnesia and hypnosis.
The question is posed: to jump or not to jump?

Bounce Around - June 29, 2010
Awesome pictures. Looks like it was a great exhibition! Love the crazy Jumping Castle, what a fantastic piece.

Biennale of Sydney 2010 – Kasbah
Berlin-based French artist Kader Attia fills one of the cavernous spaces in Cockatoo Island's Turbine Hall with a 312-square-metre patchwork of corrugated iron and scrap roofing materials. The series of shanty town roofs collected by the artist, reflecting the conditions in which the majority of the world's population lives, are installed at different angles to make a 350-square-metre patchwork of corrugated iron, satellite dishes and other scrap materials.
Biennale of Sydney 2010 – Jennifer Wen Ma @ Sydney Opera House
Jennifer Wen Ma presents a spectacular smoke projection, beaming an animated image of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, a popular and irreverent figure in Chinese mythology, onto a cloud of smoke in the sky. The movement of the smoke is choreographed by the graceful movements of a trained performer, and the Monkey King dances overhead in a playful fusion of tradition and technology.
Biennale of Sydney 2010 – 156 Paintings, 156 Signs
For over 30 years, Australian artist Robert MacPherson has amassed a prodigious output that ranges from his abstract works of the mid-1970s, made in black and white with a common housepainter's brush, to his text-based paintings of the 1980s and 1990s that consecrate the roadside vernacular of shop signs, placards and slang xpressions.

Hermes interacted with the architecture of Milan and its inhabitants, stimulating new points of view through an extraordinary carnet of narrative illustrations and drawings, inspired by the Maison's heritage.
An urban installation, simple but very impressive, which changed the face of some iconic places in the Brera Design District.
Jaime Hayon's Gardenias @ Salone Milan 2013
The designer's love of what he does is perhaps best exemplified in the terracotta vases which complete the Gardenia collection. Simple and elegant, they look like they have leapt out of a child's drawing thereby transforming an archetypical vase into something original and utterly charming.
Danish Chromatism @ Salone Milan 2013

OFbank's transformation throughout the years before becoming the first government digital-only and branchless bank in the country:
The Overseas Filipino Bank (OFBank) traces its roots to 1906 when it was established as the Philippine Postal Savings Bank Inc. (PPSB) to provide banking services to rural areas in the Philippines. In 1976, however, the Bank ceased operations as a result of strong competition with private banks who captured a dominant market share.
By virtue of the Republic Act No. 7354, the PSB re-opened in 1994 as the Philippine Postal Savings Bank Inc. (PPSB) under the Philippine Postal Corporation (PPC). The brand new bank resumed operations by providing wholesale loans to microfinance institutions and offering domestic and international remittance services.
In November 2016, state-run Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) announced plans to acquire PPSB and convert it into a bank that caters to the needs of overseas-based Filipinos. In the following month, LANDBANK received a directive from the Office of the President to initiate PPSB's acquisition.
Pursuant to Executive Order No. 44 signed by President Rodrigo R. Duterte in September 2017, PPSB became a wholly-owned and fully controlled subsidiary of LANDBANK and was converted into OFBank to cater to the banking needs of migrant workers worldwide.
In January 2018, the OFBank was officially launched. The ceremony was led by President Duterte, together with former LANDBANK President Alex V. Buenaventura and former OFBank President Renato G. Eje.
At present, OFBank continues to carry out its mandate of servicing the banking and financing requirements of overseas Filipinos under the supervision of LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo and OFBANK President Leila C. Martin, who serve as the chairperson and vice chairperson of OFBank Board of Directors, respectively.

California's Asian community is eager to get the vote out
May Lee
@mayleetv
Click to share on Weibo (Opens in new window)
Published October 31, 2018 at 4:36 PM
With the U.S. midterm elections just around the corner, the push is on to get out the vote. Unlike years past, the Asian community is eager to head to the polls this November, despite a lack of outreach by candidates to Asian voters.
CGTN's May Lee takes a closer look.
At a recent phone banking event, high school students were manning the phones. They're too young to vote, but old enough to get out the vote. The election phone bank is an effort by the Orange County Asian Pacific Islander Community Alliance, or OCAPICA.
Orange County, just south of Los Angeles, has the third largest Asian population in the country, and the Asian vote is fast becoming a crucial one. Even so, candidates are falling short in reaching out.
"Many of our voters when we call them, they're like, you're the first person who has ever called in language, in my native language. No one else is outreaching to us," Mary Anne Foo, Executive Director of OCAPICA said.
Despite that, Asian voters are still eager to engage in the upcoming midterms.
OCAPICA is seeing a noticeable change in the level of voter interest, which supports a recent survey of Asian and Pacific Islanders across the country. About 48 percent polled said they are more enthusiastic about voting this year compared to only 28 percent in 2014.
The survey also found 52-percent of Asian voters have an unfavorable view of the Republican party, versus a 58-percent favorable view of Democrats. When it comes to Donald Trump, 58-percent also disapprove of his job as president.
Some of the most important issues to Asian voters are jobs and the economy, education, gun control, and citizenship. At the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine), Asian students are more energized than most, because the issues are personal.
"More of the active students are coming from those backgrounds because they've seen the impact of things like immigration and refugee policy on their families, on their communities," Bill Maurer, UC Irvine's Dean of Social Sciences said.
"My parents are refugees from Vietnam," said college student Annie Nguyen, "so it was really important for them to have that political freedom to vote."
Another college student Kala Gin said, "To me voting is about having our voices heard because representation matters, especially for young people and communities of color."
Asian Americans' growing interest in political engagement gives advocates hope this is the start of a powerful force that will no longer be dismissed and ignored.
"Asian Americans are a force to be reckoned with, and so I think that we're still coming of age as a community," said Sylvia Kim, regional director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice Orange County, "but I look forward to the day when we can truly be a political force to be reckoned with as well."
With Asian-Americans becoming the fastest-growing voting bloc in the U.S., that day of reckoning may come sooner than later.

TEAM NEWS: Saints V SLIGO ROVERS
Having recently defeated Sligo Rovers home and away to win a place in the Setanta Cup Final, the Saints can expect a backlash from The Bid O' Red when the sides once again meet in the Airtricty League on Friday night.
Former Pat's player Joseph Ndo has been cleared to lineout for Rovers following work permit complications and the former player of the year will no doubt be eager to impress at his new club.
17/04/10 - Sligo Rovers 1 St Patrick's Athletic 2 (Setanta Cup)
13/04/10 - St Patrick's Athletic 4 Sligo Rovers 1 (Setanta Cup)
06/10/09 - St Patrick's Athletic 0 Sligo Rovers 2 (League)
26/07/09 - Sligo Rovers 2 St Patrick's Athletic 0 (League)
Pete Mahon rested Ryan Guy, Dave Mulcahy, Stuart Byrne and Damien Lynch for Tuesday night's 4-0 win over Bray at the Carlisle Grounds.
Midfielder Stuart Byrne who was struggling with a back injury is expected to be available for selection and, without any player suspensions Mahon will have a full squad to choose from.
MANAGERS' QUOTE
"After the disappointment of losing here against Drogheda United two weeks ago, to follow that up with two wins against Sligo Rovers in the semi-final of the Setanta Cup and again on Tuesday night win against Bray was very pleasing.
It was just the response I wanted from the players and it's great to have a final to look forward to.
It's not ideal to be playing a team three times in such a short space of time and my players will have to guard against a backlash.
Sligo are the only unbeaten team in the Premier League, so if you want to know how good they are, look no further than that statistic", – Pete Mahon.
Please note that the match kicks off at the earlier time of 7.35pm.

The Path From Diplomat to Global Entrepreneur
Why a public servant on track for a conventionally successful career decided to be his own boss, and why so many other young people are doing the same
After more than a decade of rising in the ranks of the public service, I began to question my career path. It was a career like many that had taken time to build. As a Canadian diplomat, I looked to a potential future with a great salary, a pension, international travel, and most of all, the prestige of representing Canada on the world stage.
But following my second diplomatic assignment and the birth of my first daughter, I couldn't help but wonder, "Where is my career and life taking me?" I wanted the freedom to make my own decisions, take risks and be accountable, be creative, and be my own boss. I wanted to be in total control of where in the world I worked, and what time I got on a plane to get there. I wasn't headed in that direction.
Initially I set out to change 'jobs.' I began to search for an employer or a corporate culture where I felt the opportunities would grow with my skills, and my work ethic would be met with room to be innovative and creative.
But nothing quite fit. So I stopped looking for a job, and started looking to create the career I wanted for myself. In the three years since I quit the public service, I've helped build the foundation for four different startups in multiple sectors across the globe, one of which became the "fit" I was looking for.
Handing in my diplomatic ID six days before my 33rd birthday was one of the hardest and most emotional decisions of my life. With most people I know who have been successful in business, it's been because they've been willing to take on risky challenges to which other people would say, "I'm not so sure I'd have the courage to do that." Deciding to leave was a risky decision to some people, but to me it was, "This is an opportunity I can't pass up—it's allowing me to learn new things, take on a new challenge, and build a new global company." The reaction from people wasn't always favorable. "Are you crazy? What about the pension you left, and the benefits?" they asked. "What about your goal of being the youngest Canadian ambassador?" they wondered.
To this day, I have no regrets—nor am I likely to. And I'm hardly the only person of my generation to strike out on my own in this way. In Canada, the landscape of employment is changing. A growing number of young people are seeking to escape the pull of the economic cycle by starting their own companies. The nature of the relationship between employers and employees has undergone a fundamental change—today's workers are likely to show more loyalty to career than company.
In 2014, I founded the Allam Advisory Group, an Ottawa-based global business, strategy and commercial diplomacy consulting firm that helps clients expand their businesses and manage risks worldwide. The idea was to improve on the traditional business consulting and freelancing models, and to power them with technology and collaborative tools. The idea was to create a new, virtual model for a global company.
Two years ago, this company wasn't much more than a concept, a blueprint I had sketched out in a few meetings at local coffee shops in Ottawa. The team was ambitious, relentless and overworked. We believed that we could build a culture where people could actually be happy during the day, doing something that other people thought of as "work." Egos and politics wouldn't be allowed; integrity, passion and determination would be mandatory.
I wasn't showing up every day to build an empire. The company culture was—and is—the end game. On a daily basis, we're creating the careers we want by producing the kind of work we've always envied. Here are four things I've learned about entrepreneurship over the last few years.
1. IT'S NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL
Grasp every opportunity that comes your way, and go out and find it if one doesn't come along. It's good advice for every aspect of your life, but it's particularly important when starting a business, contemplating entrepreneurship, or thinking about where you want your career to go. The best leaders take every opportunity and inspire their followers to do the same.
2. LISTEN CAREFULLY
McGill University professor and leadership management expert Dr. Karl Moore likes to remind people that the best leaders are great listeners. It's important to listen carefully to everyone involved in your organization, from executives to interns to investors.
Remember that people who challenge your ideas may be wearing different lenses, but they're looking towards the same goals and vision as you are. Listening encourages healthy relationships and allows everyone to feel like they are shaping the growth and future of the business. Richard Branson said it best: "Most people make the mistake of listening too little and talking too much." The better approach is "say less, contribute more."
3. HAVE FUN WITH IT
With so many challenges facing entrepreneurs and startups, and the endless stream of uncertainties in today's global economy, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Entrepreneurs need to make lots of serious decisions when building their company and brand. But no matter how serious your work is, it's important to keep a sense of humour and have fun.
4. TAKE CALCULATED RISKS
Try to solve problems that present themselves, and don't shy away from the biggest challenges. Big dreams draw a crowd and invite new challenges. By daring to be different, entrepreneurs can set their business apart from more established competitors.
If becoming the next Richard Branson isn't your thing, it's vital to, at the very least, think like an entrepreneur. In our evolving economy, many people are learning the hard way that you can't count on your 9-to-5. My roles in public service, the corporate sector and civil society has been invaluable preparation for the world of startups.
On Sunday nights, will you look forward to going back to the office on Monday? In three to five years, will you want to be at the same organization you are today? They're existential, important questions. When you love what you do, work doesn't seem like work and your quality of life skyrockets. It did for me.

Q: Link graph to copy of itself and run constraint dijkstra C++ I asked a question about the copy-strategy for Dijkstra and I'm trying to code a program similar to this answer wherein this situation, a directed, weighted graph G = (V, E) contains weights of either 0 or 1. Using the copy strategy I need to use Dijkstra's algorithm to find a path with at least 1 edge with weight 0 and minimum number of edges with weight 1.
My issue is that I am doing this with adjacency lists, where adj[u][v] contains the weight of the edge U->V. I know I need to have 2 copies of the graph so I can connect the edges with weight 0 from G to G', and I made the copy of the entire graph using the vector copy constructor, but I have gotten to a point where I do not know how to connect the lists to show that an edge connects a vertex from one graph to a vertex from the other so that the Dijkstra algorithm can move from one to the other when checking edges.

A: You should build a new graph, that is constructed the the way trincot described in his answer to you previous post and work only on this single graph. This makes it easier to implement dijkstra, because you have to handle the "go to other graph" case.
So you basically copy the graph 3 times, but each time, you rename the vertices slightly different. This way you can easily add the links in this new graph.
for(auto vertex : graph){
    // init newgraph[vertex]
    for(auto edge : vertex){
        // edge is just the other vertex of this edge
        newgraph[vertex].push_back(edge); //just copy
        newcosts[vertex][edge] = costs[vertex][edge]; // just copy
    }
    if(colorof(vertex) == "red")
        newgraph[vertex].push_back(vertex + "_");
        newcosts[vertex][edge + "_"] = 0;
}
for(auto vertex : graph){
    // init newgraph[vertex+"_"]
    for(auto edge : vertex){
        newgraph[vertex + "_" ].push_back(edge + "_" ); //just copy
        newcosts[vertex + "_" ][edge + "_" ] = costs[vertex][edge]; // just copy
    }
    if(colorof(vertex) == "blue")
        newgraph[vertex + "_" ].push_back(vertex + "__");
        newcosts[vertex + "__"][edge] = 0;
}
for(auto vertex : graph){
    // init newgraph[vertex+"_"]
    for(auto edge : vertex){
        newgraph[vertex + "__" ].push_back(edge + "__" ); //just copy
        newcosts[vertex + "__" ][edge + "__" ] = costs[vertex][edge]; // just copy
    }
}

Where graph contains you graph, costs[a][b] contains the costs from vertex a to b.
I used strings as names for vertices to make naming easier, you can store them in a map if you like or you use integers and vectors for higher speed.
For dijkstra you have to store the length in the "middle" graph in addition to the normal path length for every vertex. You do this the same way, but you only increase the length, when both vertices are in the "middle" graph. and you only update the vertex, when you condition for the middle graph is true.

## Training

```
python train.py --problem=mnist --save_path=./mnist
```

Command-line flags:

* `save_path`: If present, the optimizer will be saved to the specified path
    every time the evaluation performance is improved.
* `num_epochs`: Number of training epochs.
* `log_period`: Epochs before mean performance and time is reported.
* `evaluation_period`: Epochs before the optimizer is evaluated.
* `evaluation_epochs`: Number of evaluation epochs.
* `problem`: Problem to train on. See [Problems](#problems) section below.
* `num_steps`: Number of optimization steps.
* `unroll_length`: Number of unroll steps for the optimizer.
* `learning_rate`: Learning rate.
* `second_derivatives`: If `true`, the optimizer will try to compute second
    derivatives through the loss function specified by the problem.

## Evaluation

```
python evaluate.py --problem=mnist --optimizer=L2L --path=./mnist
```

Command-line flags:

* `optimizer`: `Adam` or `L2L`.
* `path`: Path to saved optimizer, only relevant if using the `L2L` optimizer.
* `learning_rate`: Learning rate, only relevant if using `Adam` optimizer.
* `num_epochs`: Number of evaluation epochs.
* `seed`: Seed for random number generation.
* `problem`: Problem to evaluate on. See [Problems](#problems) section below.
* `num_steps`: Number of optimization steps.

## Problems

The training and evaluation scripts support the following problems (see
`util.py` for more details):

* `simple`: One-variable quadratic function.
* `simple-multi`: Two-variable quadratic function, where one of the variables
    is optimized using a learned optimizer and the other one using Adam.
* `quadratic`: Batched ten-variable quadratic function.
* `mnist`: Mnist classification using a two-layer fully connected network.
* `cifar`: Cifar10 classification using a convolutional neural network.
* `cifar-multi`: Cifar10 classification using a convolutional neural network,
    where two independent learned optimizers are used. One to optimize
    parameters from convolutional layers and the other one for parameters from
    fully connected layers.

New problems can be implemented very easily. You can see in `train.py` that
the `meta_minimize` method from the `MetaOptimizer` class is given a function
that returns the TensorFlow operation that generates the loss function we want
to minimize (see `problems.py` for an example).

It's important that all operations with Python side effects (e.g. queue
creation) must be done outside of the function passed to `meta_minimize`. The
`cifar10` function in `problems.py` is a good example of a loss function that
uses TensorFlow queues.

Q: I have a class that has several properties that are in themselves the same class. Get "Principle End" error I have a class called Person
public class Contact
{
    public int ID{get;set;}
    public string Name{get; set;}
    public Contact Secretary{get; set;}
    public Contact Assistant{get; set;}
}

When I try to do data migrations I get the following error.
 Unable to determine the principal end of an association between the types
'MyApp.Contact' and 'MyApp.Contact'. The principal end of this association must be
explicitly configured using either the relationship fluent API or data annotations.

If I remove one of the two "Contact" types the error goes away. How do I have two contact types in the class? I would like to work thru this error using Data Annotations if possible. But am not sure where to start with this one.

A: Here's an example of some configuration that would work for you, I think. You might want to explicitly specify the foreign key names as they default to using the type of the entity rather than the name of the navigation property.
public class MyContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Contact> Contacts { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        var contactConfiguration = new EntityTypeConfiguration<Contact>();
        contactConfiguration.HasOptional(c => c.Secretary).WithOptionalPrincipal();
        contactConfiguration.HasOptional(c => c.Assistant).WithOptionalPrincipal();

        modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(contactConfiguration);
    }
}


Couple of weeks ago, I had to opportunity to go on a staycation at The Envoy hotel courtesy BookingsNigeria. The Envoy hotel is a boutique hotel managed by Mantis Hotels and Eco Escape – a family run collection of award winning, privately owned, five star properties located around the world. They are located at 305 Diplomatic Drive, Adjacent American Embassy, Central Area District, Abuja, Nigeria.
The Envoy Hotel is one of the most stunning hotels I have ever seen in Nigeria. You will know what I am talking about the second you walk in. I love the fact that details were attended to when the structure was built. I was fascinated by a huge chandelier hanging from the last floor. Every floor looked the same but they had a designated wall art each representing a country on each floor.
There are 59 luxury rooms in the Envoy hotel; 50 Luxury suites with inter-leading family rooms and paraplegic friendly suite available. 4 Diplomatic suites, 4 VIP Suites and 1 Presidential suite. We were treated to a warm service from the security, to the handler to the receptionist at the lobby to the waiters at the restaurant. Speaking of restaurants – I had the best prawn salad. We checked into a standard room which was so clean, luxurious and comfortable.
At Larai restaurant, you are treated to enjoy fine dining enjoy like no other restaurant in Abuja. Treated to lunch – for starters, we had pear and pomegranate salad, poached jumbo prawns marie rose, guacamole, seseme grissini. Seared beef fillet pommedaphinios, sautéed village mushrooms, fine beans, parmesan tuille and natural jus as main course. Dessert was Pistachio chocolate brownie and dinner and dinner was Nigeria treausure – Jollof rice.
In the morning, we went back to Larai restaurant to have breakfast. I looked forward to the breakfast buffet during our stay at The Envoy Hotel. They serve both local and international menu with something for every taste. I had Frappuccino, toast bread, baked beans, sausages and poached eggs along with some fruits salad.
Vandos bar is a modern lounge fully decorated with a touch of the Envoy logo chandelier. After dinner we went to Vandos bar for some cocktails. Later on, I went to the room to have a relaxing bath and went to bed.
Since it's a staycation I looked forward to relaxing in their pool. I have always wanted to do a pool shoot and I had the best opportunity to make use of. So I used one stone to kill 2 birds, relaxed in the pool and did a shoot.
I had no interest in visiting the gym which is open for 24 hours to guests and members.
I obviously didn't come to work. For a work staycation, you have available full business services. A business centre, secretarial services, meeting room with audio-visual equipment and video conferencing facilities are also provided.
Other amenities you can enjoy at The Envoy hotel are: 24- hour security, fibre-optic wi-fi, complimentary underground parking, baby sitting dervices, 24 hour concierge, travel and transfer services and many others.
I had the best 1-day staycation. Thank you to BookingsNigeria for sending me over to The Envoy Hotel. Thank you The Envoy hotel for hosting me more than once.
What about a staycation in your own city? Spending the night in a hotel in your very own city can actually be a really great experience. If you ever need to spend a night at The Envoy Hotel or if you're planning a trip to Abuja, I highly recommend looking into The Envoy Hotel for your place to stay! They will take such good care of you, and it truly is an experience you won't forget!
To book a stay at the Envoy Hotel, you can walk into the hotel, contact me, BookingsNigeria and be sure to have the best experience!

Hello December - Project Life/Stampin' UP!
Last week at my workshop with Barb C. I showed them my Project Life Scrapbook I have started for documenting December. It is so easy I can't wait to snap some cute pictures this year. I used previous years pics at the workshop to show them what it would look like.
Check out the video and make sure to order soon, these products are in the 2014 Holiday Supplement while supplies last. I have already purchased a couple for presents. I love the new Cherry Album #135834 and the Hello December PL Card Collection #135831 and the Hello December PL Accessory Pack #135833 and of course the 6x8 photo pocket pages #135297 so you can just drop in those photos and cards to make a quick page.
I love it when old friends meet at my events! Here is Gilda and Penny who have known each other for a while but never get to see each other. What a fun time they had catching up.
Thank you Barb for a fun Sunday afternoon with our friends. Thanks for stopping by!
Let me know if you would like to gather your friends for a fun stamping afternoon.
You still have time to sign up for my Holiday Stamp Camp next weekend. Contact me today to hold your place.
This is one of my favorites from the Holiday Supplement, a great video for making the Many Merry Stars Kit.
You are going to love these new ideas~ check it out HERE!
I will be placing an order tonight let me know if you "HAVE" to have something from the catalog.
Project Life December Wonder (13 Stamps) Great for documenting the month of December. You know you take pictures all the time in December whether you are baking cookies, shopping, wrapping presents, decorating or relaxing.... Can't wait.
Yesterday at the Salvation Army Crop I offered this (card tag and box class) and everyone liked it. I forgot to take pics of my class in progress but they all had a fun time. We used a lot of new products and hope you will like them too.
Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to sign up now for my Holiday Stamp Camp on Nov 8th!
Do you know what a CASE is? (Copy and share everything) For paper crafters it is when you see a card or other project and it is your jumping off place, you either make it just like the one you saw or most times, you add to it and or change it to make it your style etc.
This week Terri Tank a demo from New York posted on her website this cute cat card. You can view her blog here! I met Terri in 1999 (actually we have never met in person, she was overseas and I lived in California when she contacted me to help her mother order Stampin' UP! products for Christmas) We have kept in contact all these years with both of us moving all over the country in different directions. This is what I love about my Stampin' UP! business I meet the nicest people and I would have never met before. This is Terri's cute card.
Well Terri "CASED" her card from Michelle Zindorf you can find her here!
Michelle is known for her fabulous cards using ink and sponging. I am sure she may have a special name for her techniques but they are truly beautiful. Here is her cat card.
Labels: Cat Cards, Frances Wagner, Stampin' Up!
Another fabulous night with the girls.
Sharon was new tonight and decided to join us. We promised her a great time.
Here we are choosing our prizes. Just thought I would share the fun we have. Did you notice the clothes color scheme? In the theme of Halloween we wore black and or shades of orange. What a fun time and good food and great fellowship.
Stampin' UP! brings me new friends far and wide!
Last year one of my customers found me on line and she ordered from me and we have exchanged emails a few times. The neat part about this is Hilde is from Switzerland and she vacations here in Florida. This week we finally met when she came to my tag class.
I was so excited to meet her I almost forgot to take a picture till she was leaving and I did not get a picture of Bonnie and Penny. We loved Hilde's accent, we all had the very best time.
Here are the tags we made. They were quick to make for the most part and so cute. I hope you will sign up for one of my classes and join us in all the fun.


Project CARS 2 also got updated yesterday night, improving image quality and framerate in most situations. Tearing remains visible when geometry is more complex, there are still a few drops in the wet, but it's an undeniable improvement over the base Xbox One version.
Note: We just realized the videos have no sound due to some technical issue. We are very sorry about that.
Great games. Would like to request as much as possible uploads. Gamersyde does it the best.
So the earlier videos that looked much better than the Pro version were just running on boost mode? Surely not?
Apparently they were. We can't be 100% sure though, but people seem to say the Xbox One X patch was only released on Friday night.
If indeed it was pre patch (the vid was out before patch) that just shows the power of the machine...although i have a feeling that SMS for some reason didnt put any effort into the Pro version.

6 Billion People Do Not Meet Vitamin E Levels Necessary for Cognitive and Cardiovascular Health
People who don't get enough vitamin E in their diets appear to be more likely than others to show early signs of disease.
Only a fifth of the world's population are receiving the recommended vitamin E intake, a review has concluded, placing a heightened risk for conditions affecting the immune system, cognitive function and cardiovascular health.
Vitamin E does everything from ease exercise soreness, treating menstrual pain, preventing cancer and playing a central role in neurological and cardiovascular function.
Adequate levels of vitamin E, an essential micronutrient, are especially critical for the very young, the elderly, and women who are or may become pregnant.
Deficiency of the vitamin is occurring at an alarming frequency, and the effects of this are less obvious in the short-term affecting everything from fertility to Alzheimers.
90% of US Population Deficient
According to professor Manfred Eggersdorfer, who spoke at the satellite symposium on vitamin E at the World Congress of Public Health Nutrition, he said that more than 90% of the US's population did not meet their recommended daily allowance of vitamin E, which was a worry.
Consumers were expected to take in enough vitamin E through their diets, but "they are characterised by an increasing intake of processed foods", said Lisa Wood, associate professor at the Centre for Asthma and Respiratory Diseases at Australia's University of Newcastle.
"This results in a nutrient profile that is low in beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants."
"The results of several clinical studies suggest that the use of vitamin E is associated with a number of benefits including a reduction in aminotransferases and a reduction in fatty denegration and inflammation."
Other studies also linked the importance of vitamin E to "proper neuronal functions." It may protect essential fatty acids in the brain from lipid peroxidation, which protected cognitive function.
New Research Establishes Deficiencies Widespread
Writing in the International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research, scientists concluded that 21% of the populations studied reached a serum alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) concentration of above 30 micromol/L.
This value is the vitamin E threshold that several studies suggest has definable effects on human health in multiple areas.
The study, which received financial support from Dutch supplement giant DSM, concludes that more work needs to be done to ensure vitamin E intakes reach the required standard set out by governments worldwide.
Modern dietary changes in developed, as well as developing, countries were thought to be a contributing factor. The review suggested that vitamin E could be increased by eating more foods rich in the vitamin.
"Vitamin E status can indeed be explained by varying diets and nutrient availability," said Dr Manfred Eggersdorfer, senior vice president for nutrition science and advocacy at DSM and one of the authors of the review.
"With the trend towards processed foods, changes in diet are also a contributing factor."
"The digestive tract requires fat to absorb vitamin E. This means that low-fat diets may provide insufficient amounts of vitamin E, unless people make careful food choices to increase intake of nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables."
Vitamin E dietary reference values (DRVs) as set out by The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
13 mg/day for men
11 mg/day for women
9 mg/day for boys and girls aged 3 to < 10 years
13 mg/day for boys and 11 mg for girls aged 10 to < 18 years
The study, carried out by Mannheim Institute of Public Health, Social and Preventive Medicine in Germany, looked at published literature that described vitamin E intake levels and serum concentrations between 2000 and 2012.
In total, 176 articles referring to 132 single studies were included. The scientists then applied a recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 15 mg/day and an estimated average requirement (EAR) of 12 mg per day to all populations with a minimum age of 14 years.
The team discovered that 82% and 61% of mean and median data points were below the RDA and the EAR, respectively.
Serum concentrations of vitamin E worldwide found that 13% of the included data points were below the functional deficiency threshold concentration of 12 micromol/L. This result was found mostly for newborns and children.
"A further consequence of current lifestyles is that premature babies of very low birth weight (less than 1,500 grams) are at risk of inadequate vitamin E status," said Eggersdorfer, who is also a professor for healthy ageing at Groningen University.
"Vitamin E supplementation in these infants might reduce the risk of some complications, such as those affecting the immune system and the retina."
Dietary intake surveys have become the primary choice in assessing the nutrient status of populations.
However, they have limitations due to potential under reporting, quality of food intake and the types of database used.
Vitamin E Renaissance
A recent review concluded that the population of the UK and the US found over 75% of the population did not meet minimum vitamin E levels.
The vitamin is enjoying something of a research resurgence of late having been overshadowed by other vitamins and their purported health benefits.
There is the question of whether lack of research in vitamin E may have contributed to its deficiency seen in the population.
"It is true that we did not see a lot of projects at universities on the role of vitamin E in the first decade of this century and funding organisations did not support many projects related to vitamin E," said Eggersdorfer.
"However, in recent years, there has been a renaissance in vitamin E and its role in health with papers, studies and engagements from a number of university groups all over the world.
"Only last year, a research group led by Professor Keith West (Johns-Hopkins University) reported that vitamin E deficiency is a major issue in countries like Bangladesh and Nepal."
He also cited a human study from the Linus Pauling Institute at the Oregon State University in the US, which demonstrated that people who are overweight have higher vitamin E requirements.
The study concluded that results based on the reported dietary intake levels and serum concentrations suggested that the vitamin E status of the included population groups could be improved.
"Possible measures include encouragement of consumption of vitamin E-rich food sources (e. g. vegetables, dairy products, eggs), adequate fortification of food products (e. g. vegetable oils), and supplementation."
