What else? This is getting more fun, isn't it?
She–okay, I–am a huge fan of the SF Giants and the Golden State Warriors. I know, I know. Book types and sporty types shouldn't be one in the same, but what can I say? I'm breaking the mold. Continuing. I have an irrational love of elephants. They make me cry, but it's the best kind of cry. On other end of the spectrum, I abhor the shrill squeak styrofoam makes when it's coming out of a box. Just typing that sentence made me want to scream. Needless to say, Christmas is great, but also really tough on me.
"The feeling of imminent danger and the constant battles with terrifying creatures help bring this vivid story to life. However, the depth of characterization is what will make readers connect to this small group of teens on a mission to save humanity. Gideon and Daryn display a powerful chemistry from their very first meeting, while the personality conflicts between Gideon and his fellow horsemen keep this adventure both intense and humorous." ―RT Book Reviews, Top Pick!
What was your first introduction to YA literature, the one that made you choose that genre to write?
Well, before it was even called "YA" officially, I was reading Judy Blume's Forever and Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. But when the genre really became more solidified, books like Kristin Cashore's Graceling and MT Anderson's FEED really captivated me.
Everything influences me. I know that's a bit of a cop-out answer, but I'm a firm believer that everything we think, touch, see, experience becomes part of the creative soup. That's why I've become much more careful about what I watch, read, and listen to. I am selective than ever about what kind of influences I want to internalize!
Did you learn anything from writing SEEKER and what was it?
SEEKER was the first book I've written where the theme was most important to me. I knew before I knew almost anything else that ideas like forgiveness and redemption would take center stage. That was new for me. It was challenging! But I think just focusing on ideas so intensely taught me a lot. It definitely made me think about those concepts more in my own life.
What part of Daryn did you enjoy writing the most?
Daryn's such an independent person. I love that about her. She's a total survivor. I'm so much more attached to people, places, things. I need my kids. I need my dog. I need my comfortable sweatpants. Need, need, need. So it was really fun to write a character who had such spare needs. She has herself. It counts for soooo much with her, and I admire that.
Oh, I think I'd love to introduce Gideon (RIDERS) to Roar (UTNS). I think they'd be great friends. I'd also love to introduce Daryn and Perry. I feel like they could be siblings. Or cousins.
Which character have you enjoyed getting to know while writing RIDERS Series?
All of them. Seriously. If you're not enjoying getting to know your characters, I think, then you're on the wrong track.
Mentor? Um…gosh! Anthony Doerr. Maybe I could convince him to do a reverse-mentorship! Hahaha.
Life advice? Live every minute to the fullest. Reading advice? Read good books!
I just recently wrote letters with quill and ink to some friends as an experiment. I wanted to see how it would feel. I ended up with black-stained fingers for a week!
Thanks so much for having me today, Jean!
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Veronica Rossi's new fantasy adventure in the Rider series—Seeker .
When Daryn claimed she was seeing visions during her sophomore year of high school, no one believed the truth. She wasn't losing her mind, she was gaining the Sight the ability to see the future. If she just paid attention to the visions, they'd provide her with clues and show her how she could help people. Really help them. Daryn embraced her role as a Seeker. The work she did was important. She saved lives.
Since the moment she inadvertently sealed him in a dark dimension with Samrael the last surviving demon in the Kindred guilt has plagued her. Daryn knows Sebastian is alive and waiting for help. It's up to her to rescue him. But now that she needs the Sight more than ever to guide her, the visions have stopped.
Thank you VERONICA ROSSI AND TOR for making this giveaway possible.

Get the SEO secrets our industry-leading clients pay us to find.
SEOs at companies like Amazon, IBM and Cisco get our findings before we share them in public.
"from a young age Glen developed an expertise in search engine optimisation"
"When it comes to SEO blogs, here are 20 of the most important that you should be reading."
"Glen teaches a system he uses to have websites appear on top of the organic Google search results."
"stoked the Internet into a frenzy, complete with guides explaining how you can get in on the gold"
Learn SEO Tactics So Effective That They've Literally Been Blocked. Twice.
SEO secrets still exist, and people are holding them back from you.
I get paid to spend my days reverse-engineering the rankings of the world's top sites and in the process, regularly discover tactics that have never been shared before.
(Not because I'm smart, but because I do little else).
Some of my findings, though completely ethical, have literally been blocked not long after I share them in public.
In 2016 I wrote an article on a simple Google search query - which programmers had been using for over a decade - and revealed how incredible it was for finding link building opportunities.
It was quickly shared by some of the biggest names in marketing.
Just a few months later the search query no longer worked, despite having been in use for over ten years.
A quick tweet to my favourite "Googler" for an explanation didn't give me a response with much hope.
More recently, another finding was blocked even faster.
I discovered a way to use Google's Custom Search Engine (Google CSE) to find the date Google associate to any URL: A critical insight if you're trying to figure out why certain pages on a website don't rank.
I shared my findings on one of the industries top publications, hoping to help others with their own ranking analysis.
Within a matter of weeks, the search queries I shared suddenly started returning zero results.
I've since discovered an alternative solution, but I'm certainly more careful about what I now share in public.
I accept these incidents could be coincidental, but either way the truth remains: If you're looking for actual SEO secrets, you won't find many people willing to share them.
Here at Detailed.com we share everything we learn.
Completely free, with no strings attached.
Our company helps 7 and 8-figure businesses grow their search engine traffic. The more secrets we share and the more people we help, the more companies enquire about our services.
In thirteen years we've never had a salesperson and likely never will.
Who knew the whole "giving before you get" thing actually worked?
No ads. No affiliate links. Lots of world-class SEOs as subscribers.
Warning: If you've been in SEO for a while, this newsletter will make you question your current beliefs.
We literally built and fund our own link index just to stay on top of what works - currently tracking ~90,000 legitimate links per day - so you can be sure we're in the trenches each day.

Kauai is amongst the most breathtaking beaches in Hawaii. Among every one of the islands in Hawaii, Kauai is amongst the oldest and least populated. If you look carefully you can still find secluded spots to educate yourself regarding and several opportunities for sightseeing. Kauai has a very wide and extended coastline that boasts of countless pristine bays and delightful beaches. This spot developed as being a center for tourism much later plus the recent past continues to be renovated and updated. Currently the area boasts of countless natural wonders, and well-developed resorts and monuments.
The Hawaiian Islands are a good location to visit, there are many options to take into consideration when it comes to which one to find out first. Most visitors will probably be flying directly into the Honolulu airport in Oahu, then proceeding on their ultimate destination on another flight. The four main islands of Hawaii are Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and the big island of Hawaii. Hawaii is an outdoor activities dreamland. Everyone is familiar with Hawaii. The tropical paradise. Beaches and surfing. Lush greens and cool breezes. And nowhere is that more true when compared to Kauai Hawaii. Kauai Hawaii is the northern-most island then one from the first to get settled, in fact it is quickly becoming the go-to Hawaiian island for vacationers from everywhere.
Hawaii remains relatively unsettled with an urbanization of only 3% and is also a quick 20 minute helicopter ride from Honolulu. And yes, they are going to give you the state Hawaiian welcome with leis with the small airport in Kauai Hawaii. From there, you can explore the 550 square mile island which has a amount of something for anyone.
Here you can find explore the area on horseback or any one from the dozens of hiking trails. Hawaii offers exceptional golfing with three from the five course in all of the of Hawaii. With over hundred and fifty holes on eight courses, there isn't any end to picturesque golf courses.
Kauai Hawaii offers some from the best saltwater and freshwater fishing within the Pacific. Large inland reservoirs make difference as daily on Hawaii provides the angler a whole new challenge. Fishing isn't sole method to savor the oceanic milieu. Miles of sandy white beaches line the area - it could take days to learn them all.

Here's a mystery but you will see how big it's meaning is any second.
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, [a]acceptable to God, which is your [b]spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this [c]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [d]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect.
basically we MAY start to get a general idea.
That is of giving space to God to work, to show Himself, to be proof to you, bearing in mind He is not material, He is Spirit, so this is His way of doing it.
and not only return...but give to you from all angles pressed down and running over....in the sort of measure and commitment which you have first given.
And SEE if I don't fill it with My own Presence among you.
Then Jesus says things like....instead of just receiving each other in your own names....receive them INSIDE ME.
Now do the same with GO.
Do you start to see the build up?
In other words PROVE TO your self and your own inner knowing that God is true to every Word He speaks.
You have dipped your toe in.
You have baptised your knees and middle.
And you have proved what God says He keeps to.
Everything as a living sacrifice 24/7......wow....do you think God will actually show up???
and if all that God does through you could be written in books....then the world could not fit it all in again.
Acceptable has completely the wrong sound in modern parlance....like it's barely acceptable...it's OK but not great.
One of the things it means is that you will be acceptable to all types of people who will respond to God in you.
it means much more than being loved in Christian bookshops, but its the only thing I can think of off the top of ,my head.
40 years on hardly anybody is reading the Ascent of Man by Bronowski. After all the TV acclaim in his lifetime.
Who has heard of him today among the young?
but those finding Christ are already reading Watchman Nee and the great books from the past that still hold true.
Catholics may not recognise God filling ladies, and may burn them but 400 years on Madame Guyon is still being read by us along with Jacob Boehme, who actually stated that God had shown him he was writing for people hundreds of years from his time. Same was true of St Paul and the apostles.
Acceptable means.....this thing really works...it's a go-er !!!!
Christ in us the hope , the sure definite hope, of glory.
Well we have some now burning inside us like oil.


With the release of WordPress 2.5 and the further integration of tags and tags support, as well as the great integration of media and the media gallery, I'm finding myself wanting to upgrade to a theme that supports all of the new features that are offered in the WordPress administration.
Has anyone found any themes that are designed and built specifically for WordPress 2.5? If you've found some themes, or if you make your own themes, send me a link and I'll post them here.
The new and heavily anticipated version of WordPress, WordPress 2.5, is now available for download and will start making users happy immediately. The new and improved WordPress 2.5 has shifted from a standard user interface to a new user interface that puts a heavier focus on writing. In addition to the better focus on writing (since WordPress is a blogging application) there have been improvements in the WYSIWIG editor as well as in the plugins manager, now allowing plugins to be updated automatically, which is a really nice feature.
I've had a lot of comments on my post about my Broken Xbox 360 – Flashing Red Ring of Light (RoL) and there have been quite a few people who have been crazy enough to try the "Blanket Trick" in order to fix their Xbox disregarding the potential this has to fry the Xbox 360 and render it useless.
Basically, what the "Blanket Trick" does is it essentially causes your Xbox to overheat. The overheating of the Xbox causes a faulty solder connection to heat up enough in order to reconnect itself. Crazy, but true. It seems like there have been a lot of people who have had good results with this technique to solve the red ring of light problem on the Xbox 360. I'm curious to hear all of your stories. Is there anybody out there who has absolutely fried their Xbox by doing this? Let us know!!!

WTF??? Windows Internet Explorer is not longer compatible with Windows? This is lame.
It is official, the iPhone 2.0 update will be released in June and with it will come many new features including push email support which can be used for corporate email servers, support for third party apps which will be available for purchase from the iTunes store – one of the much anticipated applications will be AOL instant messenger.
The biggest question that remains about the iPhone 2.0 update is whether or not Apple will be charging users for 3rd party application downloads through the iTunes store. If Apple does decide to charge for 3rd party apps, I would imaging that we'd start to see many more people jailbreaking their iPhones in order to get the already available functionality of adding third party apps.
While you're waiting for the release of the iPhone 2.0 firmware release during June as the current estimated release date, check out my article on the iPhone 1.1.5 firmware update and comment on some of the features that you'd like to see in the next iPhone update.

AEW Stars Promoted For WWE Raw Anniversary
Current AEW Star and former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho is no doubt one of the most accomplished and popular pro wrestlers to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. He has competed in several promotions such as WCW, WWE, ECW, New Japan Pro Wrestling and AEW among others. Chris Jericho also previously dropped a major return bombshell.
Chris Jericho also competed in quite a few matches in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, starting from his IWGP United States Championship against Kenny Omega back in 2018 to his matches for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship with Tetsuya Naito. He also squared off against Hiroshi Tanahashi back in 2020.
In a promotional video that aired during SmackDown to commemorate a major RAW event, WWE included a montage of notable figures from its storied professional wrestling history, including some who are no longer with the company or have moved on to rival promotions such as Mark Henry, Bryan Danielson and Chris Jericho. The video, which featured some of Jericho's most memorable moments, elicited a positive response from Jericho himself, who acknowledged that professional wrestling is about memories and transcends any specific company or promotion.
Pro wrestling transcends any given company. Pro wrestling is about memories….and this video contains some LEGENDARY ones!

Photo: Mikhail of Voskresensky/RIA Novosti the Audience of users of contactless payments in Russia grew by 3,5 times in 2018, it is noted in the research Mediascope. "In 2018 the audience of all means of online payments grew. Among three most demanded ways (payment by cash cards online, Internet bankings, electronic money) the highest growth rates of audience in 2018 showed electronic money – for 23%. Record growth of audience – at contactless payments: by 3,5 times in a year. And if electronic money an audience share last year had about 60%, then only 10% of the population used contactless payments" — it is noted in a research of the company. At the same time, in the company recorded recession of audience of users who make money transfers: from 64% to 59%. Mobile services, orders in online stores, and housing and communal services became the most demanded directions of online payments in 2018. And among the directions where the highest growth of payments is recorded services of educational institutions, online content and also replenishment of transport cards were rendered. High growth rates also showed online games, delivery of ready food, purchase of an avia and railway tickets, penalties and taxes. In poll Russians at the age of 12-55 years from the cities with the population more than 700 thousand people (in 6 federal districts) and the cities of the Far Eastern Federal District with the population more than 600 thousand people which use the Internet at least once in a week participated and made at least one online payment for half a year. For the analysis of data in dynamics the age of 18-55 years was considered.


Jupiter just moved into Leo – Time to give your new creative self-expressive purpose some real legs!
Jupiter says, "Go big or go home". Well, that's what I've heard anyway–and it makes sense. Jupiter is a big planet and on an astronomical level it's pretty protective of earth too, deflecting a lot of space rocks that would otherwise hit us. No wonder it has the reputation of good fortune as one of it's archetypes.
Leo is associated with that 5th house ruled by Sun and is all about creative self-expression and purpose, special gifts and talents. Each of us has something within us that nobody can do better! And that something is likely getting tickled out of us or we're getting flashes or insights about that creative purpose right now.
If you knew the house of your natal Jupiter (where it was the day you were born) this could help us understand your own juices a bit more and of course what house Jupiter is moving through in your chart right now that could help with more detail too. But chances are you already know what it is and an astrologer could simply validate it for you and help give you some added kick-start encouragement.
Belief and opportunity are key words in association with this recent energy shift in our psyche that is associated by Jupiter's recent move into the Leo part of the star systems. As above–so below.
Oh–wait! Let's add the word "fun" to the mix. So think about it… its probably been on your mind for a while anyway and now you see the opportunity to give this project some real legs.
If you know astrology, just combine Sun/Jupiter/Sag/5th house/9th house and then look at your own chart–where's your Jupiter in Leo, meaning what house–what area of life is this going to awaken or include as part of this energy shift into this enlivened creative self-expressive new purpose?
It's going to somehow involve "relating" to others in some way since the transiting North Node (our evolving soul's growth, evolutionary intention) is in the sign of Libra so all those Libra qualities are likely to be part of it. Venus ruling Libra and Taurus is therefore involved in the mix. Beauty, harmony, survival, security–those archetypes are likely part of this package too.


You know you're going to have a surreal day when you wake up, boot your ancient computer into argumentative life, check your emails, and find that one of the characters from your own stories has dropped you a quick line.
One of the stories you'll find in my collection Dark Terrains is a tale called Feedback, originally published waaaaaaaay back in 1998. The story concerns a fellow called Alex Pileggi, an empath ignorant of his own abilities, who makes a markedly poor choice of profession. You can read it by downloading the collection free from here, and per the forthcoming announcement, you can even buy a paperback copy of the book here (see what benefits there are to reading this blog – actual news, ahead of the game!).
Without saying too much, Alex's eventual fate is not a pleasant one. When I saw that I had email from Alexander Pileggi yesterday, I wondered if he was writing to complain at what I did to him. It was a bizarre little moment.
Of course, Alexander is not my character, and was writing mostly to find out why I had chosen his name for the story. In most cases, I wouldn't have been able to answer, but with this particular story I knew that I had pinched the surname from Mitch Pileggi, the actor who played Skinner in The X-Files (still big when I wrote the tale). I have a terrible time coming up with surnames for characters, so make note of interesting ones that I stumble over in real life.
As I say, the moment was surreal, and made me wonder what some of my characters might have to say to me if they could email from thier fictional worlds. It's almost enough to give this horror scribe a postmodern case of existential guilt. Perhaps I should write stories with puppies in them (that, you know, don't actually get maimed, run over, or drowned) instead, to ease my conscience a little.
Indeed, that is mighty strange, m'dear. And even stranger that someone with that rare of a name would happen upon your story.
Maybe it IS the fictional character. I bet he's pissed off!

OECD governance indicators for a resilient Baltic Sea Action Plan 2021
Savitri Jetoo
Tutkimustuotos: Lehtiartikkeli › Artikkeli › Tieteellinen
This OECD water governance indicators can be a useful tool for the implementation of the Baltic Sea Action Plan 2021. Governance indicators can be seen as aggregation of variables that describe the system or process in such a way that it has more significance than the face value of its components. In the Baltic Sea context, governance indicators are not outcome indicators, as these focus on monitoring the state of the Baltic Sea. They can be useful in the implementation of the Baltic Sea Action Plan 2021 as they can provide knowledge on the transboundary capacity to support the aims and objectives for the Baltic Sea ecosystem. They can be used as tools for continuous diagnosis, reflection and improvement, as they provide a way of isolating and assessing specific aspects of governance.

DLSU project selected for multi-country higher education collaboration
Together with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), we conducted two virtual discussions on English-medium education (EME) on 16 and 22 October 2020.
Virtual dialogue
CHED technical panels in English and Teacher Education as well as EME practitioners from state and private universities explored the immediate and long-term impact of the digitisation of learning on the use of English as a medium of instruction (EMI).
CHED Director for International Affairs Atty Lily Milla spoke about the role of strengthening English in internationalising higher education. She acknowledged the British Council and CHED project 'Access and Competitiveness through Internationalisation of Higher Education', of which the virtual dialogue is a component. 'This project highlights the importance of English-medium education in reinforcing internationalisation-at-home agenda,' she said.
British Council Vietnam's Academic Manager for English and Education Davide Guarini Gilmartin shared case studies from Thailand and Vietnam that featuring the motivations for expanding EME and digital learning. He shared that attracting international students and enhancing the employability of graduates are common driving forces. He also cited a recent British Council research by Dr Nicola Galloway stating that the students' main reasons for enrolling in EMI programmes were mostly for future job opportunities, to practice and learn English and to study abroad.
National Teachers College's Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr Edizon Fermin presented the current landscape of EME in the Philippines. Using the English Proficiency Index (EPI) data managed by Education First, a Swiss education company specialising in language training, he shared concerns on the declining levels of English proficiency in higher education. In 2017, the Philippines ranked 13th in the international rankings of EPI. This declined to the 14th spot in 2018 which significantly lowered our proficiency index from high to middle level. 2019 showed an alarming drop to the 20th spot. Given these findings, Dr Fermin recommended the creation of policies to strengthen support to faculty and staff on English language proficiency. With educators proficient in the English language, they are more able to produce learners who will fare well after graduation. This will in turn increase employability of Filipinos in the global job market.
During the group discussion, EME practitioners shared how their institutions promote the development of language skills and competencies both in English and mother tongue. They also shared how the current pandemic situation opened doors for them to easily collaborate with international partners through virtual means. aiding the internationalisation efforts of their respective institutions and of the country.
The technical panel members also shared that CHED is already discussing the future of the delivery of higher education in a post-pandemic era and how the current situation will re-shape the value of physical campuses.
Using the results of these discussions, we will present a policy paper on EME to CHED in the first quarter of 2021.
This last quarter of 2020, the National Roadmap for Global Competitiveness in Communication Skills (NRGCCS) was launched through a series of workshops running from November to December. NRGCCS is a multi-stakeholder initiative to ensure global competitiveness of Filipino students through language and communication skills.
The workshop series introduces the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) to Philippine higher education institutions. CEFR is a language standard that describes language ability in speaking, reading, writing, listening understanding and measures learning outcomes at different stages —By increasing their understanding of CEFR, the NRGCCS endeavours to equip educators with tools to align curriculum and classroom activities to international standards.
British Council Assessment Research Group Manager and Senior Researcher Dr Jamie Dunlea introduced the CEFR and Test Development Researchers Richard Spiby and Carolyn Westbrook led a session on using the CEFR in the classroom and in self, peer and teacher assessments.
Through these activities and collaborations, we promote internationalisation, supporting the Philippine government's vision to deliver higher education that is on par with international standards and best practices.

The spectacular musical version of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had its World Premiere at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in June 2013. Directed by Academy Award Winner and Bond director Sam Mendes, this deliciously dark tale stars Douglas Hodge as the eccentric factory owner. Just returned from playing Cyrano de Bergerac at the Roundabout Theater on Broadway, Douglas won the Tony Award in 2010 for La Cage aux Folles at the Longacre Theatre.
The previous year he collected the Olivier Award for the same role which played on the West End at the Playhouse Theatre before transferring to New York.
He has also released two albums of his own compositions and has written a musical Aschlin Ditta. Douglas gladly signed my sketch at the stage door prior to yesterday's matinée.

Whether it is referred to as dynamic stability control (DSC) or electronic stability program (ESP), the program is a computer technology that will improve a vehicle's stability by reducing any skidding and loss of traction. This is an obviously important feature when it comes to maintaining traction in rainy or slippery conditions but also when the roads are less than ideal or when driving on tires that are a bit older. However, maintenance becomes even more imperative when it comes to ensuring the DSC is working properly and your tires are healthy with plenty of tread to handle the environments.
For drivers in Brooklyn with issues in your car that require dynamic stability control repair, rather than going to the expensive dealership where you do not get any explanations or answers until after they give you the bill, visit Bay Diagnostic and get the personalized help of trained professionals that your car needs. Our Bosch certified staff has performed dynamic stability control repair in various luxury car models like BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Range Rover and Land Rover among others, and with years of experience working with each model, we are confident that we can get the job done quickly and at a more affordable price than the competition can offer.
In high-end luxury vehicles one of the biggest selling points to drivers is the smooth handling that they provide, something that depends highly on the dynamic stability control to continually provide that smooth handling even on less than optimal conditions.

If you are in the Brooklyn area and are in need of any DSC repair for your luxury car or you are in need of additional service and maintenance, please call us today to schedule an appointment with one of our expert mechanics.


He answer is yes, it is. One of the greatest benefits of olive oil is the use of it in the hair. Nowadays, olive oil is used as a natural cosmetic.
Olive oil has probably the greatest fame that has, especially in the Mediterranean region, because it is practically used for cooking. However, we must highlight on its great cosmetic properties.
The plenty of applications of olive oil dates back to the Greek era in which olive oil was not only used as food, but also applied as cosmetic treatment or even for medicine. On the other hand, in Roman times it was used for the production of creams and different ointments that were given numerous uses. And going back deeper in history, Egyptians created a series of ointments used for hair, providing a number of nutrients that made hair look more beautiful.
Today, olive oil is increasingly settled in the cosmetics industry, along with others like coconut oil or argan. It is sold as a single ingredient or as the main component of creams and lotions for hair, facial and body use. Let's start with its uses in hair.
As we know, vitamins are an essential element in oils. The olive oil is very rich in tocopherol, but also in unsaturated fatty acids and essential minerals to the cells. This composition results in regenerative and/or moisturizing components that provide the necessary nutrients for your hair regains its vitality and beauty that has always had.
First, olive oil contains vitamin E that will help you strengthen your hair, so that growth more healthy and stronger.
Secondly, due to its numerous regenerative properties, olive oil will cause an increase of hair growth, especially in those areas that are seriously damaged.
Third, thanks to vitamin C, olive oil also contains collagen, so the finer hair will regain its strength. Furthermore, due to vitamin A you are going to control the regeneration of cells.
You will start to regain protein in those areas that are damaged or abused.
The frizz that is a very common problem in many hairs will be reduced or even eliminated thanks to olive oil.
Olive oil is a great remedy against the tips that are opened or damaged.
Thanks to its toning properties olive oil will get those hairs that are mostly damaged by the sun, the beach or the pool back to its natural state.
Heat the oil extract in a bowl in the microwave. Depending on the length of your hair, you will need 2 to 4 tablespoons. Not too hot!, because you will oxidize its vitamins. Heating the oil for 15-20 seconds is enough.
Then moisten your hair with warm water, and apply the oil all over, from the ends to the scalp. The idea is to let olive oil acts uniformly, repairing damaged ends and preventing the fall.
Cover your hair with a towel, a shower cap or paper film.
Let the oil penetrate and do its work for 30-35 minutes. Don´t so this treatment while sleeping, it is too long.
Remove the excess in the shower. Rinse well with shampoo for hair.
Follow the treatment once or twice a week, depending on your time and needs.
Moisturize dry and burnt hair.
Prevent hair fall and alopecia, strengthen the roots and stimulate growth.
Four tablespoons of olive oil mixed with beaten egg. We must spread the mask evenly throughout the hair and let it act for about fifteen minutes. The next step is to wash the hair with warm water to remove the mask. In this way, we will help the hair to be hydrated and revitalized. We can apply this mask once a week.
If we want to have a regenerative hair mask, you have to add three tablespoons of oil and honey, mix well until we get a good dough, then you have to let it ferment for twenty-four hours. The way of application is on clean, damp hair; let it act for about fifteen minutes and wash your hair again.
If we want a home remedy against opened or damaged ends, we have to apply olive oil directly on them. If we a better result with, we can do it with dry hair and leave it overnight. This process can be performed every two days. purposes because you can see the good effects immediately.
In pharmacies or supermarkets, there are different typeWe highly recommend olive oil for cosmetics of hair treatments, whether creams, shampoos and conditioners. Thousands of people spend money on products for damaged hair, to protect and moisturize and split ends; however, today there are various natural methods with which you can get the hair in perfect conditions. Olive oil stands out as an elementary hair treatment.
If your hair is dry and brittle, you should use olive oil every day, but remember to stop other products containing chemical ingredients. The use of olive oil helps moisturize the hair and at the same time gives shine; this is thanks to this excellent natural beauty product for skin care and hair.
There are more benefits associated to the use of olive oil, such as, prevention of cardiovascular disease, reduction of gastric acid secretion, constipation and diabetes. Olive oil also contributes to the correct bone mineralization, and increases longevity.


Do you ever feel like you're living in a constantly changing world without an instruction manual?
You actually know more about life than you may think. Just as a caterpillar instinctively knows how to become a butterfly, we humans have much knowledge about our own personal transformation process. The difference is that we have the free will to make choices which a caterpillar never has to face. The multitude of choices which we face on a daily basis can become overwhelming.
My job as a personal coach is to help you learn to make better choices so that you can evolve toward your full potential and experience a more satisfying life. I serve as a catalyst to help you discover patterns, recognize strengths, and access the information you need to live the kind of life you want to live both personally and professionally.

The Future of Britain Hangs on the Younger Generations
How the British government translates the verdict of the EU referendum of 23rd June into action will have a fundamental effect on the lives of British people, not just today or tomorrow, but for many years to come.
One of the striking things about the referendum is that most older people voted emphatically to "leave" and most younger voters made it very clear that they wished to "remain" in the EU.
The votes of the over-65s, who turned out in very large numbers, effectively tipped the verdict towards "leave". The majority in favour of leaving, however, was quite narrow.
We are not questioning either the validity of the referendum or the sincerity of the voting decisions of older people. Suffice it to say, they had their own reasons to vote as they did.
The problem is that the future of Britain depends on the dynamism, energy and commitment of the younger generations – the under-50s who decisively opted to "remain". What seems to be overlooked is that, apart from voting in their own right, young voters were also effectively serving as uncounted proxies for millions of their children.
The young are also the people on whom the future greatness of Britain hangs, whether inside or outside the EU. If the country ultimately opts for arrangements with which they don't agree, they are unlikely to throw their hearts into making it a success.
It is in the Self-Interest of the Old to Respect the Decisions of the Young
The referendum process stirred up strong emotions, and tensions are still flying high. Sadly, it provoked splits within millions of families, between parents and children, brothers and sisters, cousins. These divisions can be healed by quiet reflection, especially on the part of older people, about the impact of the result on their children and grandchildren.
We are not suggesting that grannies and grandfathers – or even great uncles and aunts – set aside their strongly held views. Perhaps, however, they might now turn their thoughts towards their instinctive role of caring for the future of their children and grand-children. Listening to the young and showing respect for their aspirations will do much to rebuild inter-generational trust and harmony where it has been shattered within families and in the wider community.
Taking back control of Britain's economy and borders may be a valid aspiration for many older people who see this as a way of restoring the country's self-respect and greatness. However, surely the right and proper action for those of us whose years are limited is to pass the baton of control over their lives to the next generations so that they can shape the future that they have said they want.
This is not just a matter of correcting an instance of intergenerational injustice or putting family first, but also one of self-interest. We must not forget that Britain's capacity to pay for our pensions, finance the NHS and care for us in our old age is already being sustained largely by the under-50s. If nothing else, it is short-sighted to deny them the future they seek and deserve!

2013-14 Season Review
Everton 2013/14 Season Review: The Defence
Our season review starts with a look at Everton's dependable back line.
By Tom Mallows@TomMallows_ May 13, 2014, 3:00pm BST
Share All sharing options for: Everton 2013/14 Season Review: The Defence
Chris Brunskill
There were fears that Everton's goals against column would shoot up this season following the appointment of Roberto Martinez as manager. Many critics looked at the leaky backline he had at Wigan as evidence his footballing philosophy would bring plenty of action at either end of the pitch.
Thankfully those fears have proven unfounded and Everton's defence has proven to be the bedrock of the club's success this season. The Toffees had the third best defensive record overall, with just Chelsea and Manchester City conceding less than Everton's 39 goals. Chelsea were the only side to concede fewer away goals than Everton and only three other teams kept more than the Toffees' 15 clean sheets.
Tim Howard once again has a superb season between the sticks, with his 15 clean sheets his highest tally since the 2007/2008. He only missed one Premier League game, against Southampton in December, after being sent off against Sunderland on Boxing Day. His replacement Joel Robles was also Roberto Martinez's designated 'cup' keeper, playing in every Capital One and FA Cup game. Robles arrived with a growing reputation after a fine end of the season at Wigan last year, culminating in a clean sheet against Man City in the FA Cup final. However, his decision-making, command of his area and frustrating tendency to punch all the time instead of catch leaves question marks over his ability. In the short-term he is ok, but with Howard on the brink of his 35th birthday a long-term successor may need to be found sooner rather than later.
Full-backs
In my opinion Everton have the two best fullbacks in the Premier League. Leighton Baines, who is now England's first-choice left back, put aside the distraction over a potential move to Manchester United to put in another solid season. He was no longer the primary outlet of attack like under David Moyes but still set-up four goals and scored five – including two memorable free kicks at West Ham in September.
Seamus Coleman meanwhile deservedly picked up the Players' Player and Player of the Season award. The Irishman seemed to be the main beneficiary of Martinez's free-flowing style as he plundered seven goals, a remarkable tally for a fullback who does not take penalties. All while helping the defence keep them out at the other end.
Bryan Oviedo won the hearts of the Everton fans, first for his famous winner at old Trafford and then after his sickening injury against Stevenage in February. That may have ended his season and World Cup dreams, but there is no reason why he cannot play a key role in the Blues' squad next term. Tony Hibbert made just two starts and a further two sub appearances as age, injury and increased competition caught up with him. He remains a cult figure though and a coaching role must surely be not far away.
Central defenders
Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin were again the mainstay of a miserly Toffees defence. It is perhaps no surprise that some of Everton's heavier defeats – against Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Southampton – were when one or both of them were not playing. The sheer longevity of Distin is astounding and he shows no signs of slowing down just yet.
Thankfully, when Distin does retire we have a ready-made replacement in John Stones. It is almost hard to believe that the 19-year-old had never started a Premier League game until January but four months later finds himself on England's stand-by list for the World Cup. Even if he misses out on a place in Brazil in won't be long before he's an international regular and is a future Everton captain in the making.
Antolin Alcaraz was seen as a decent back up that cost nothing when he moved from Wigan last summer. Sadly his injury problems continued to hamper his progress and he never seemed to be truly match fit. He showed glimpses of his qualities at the turn of the year but his season will sadly be remembered for his woeful performance when half-fit in the 4-0 defeat at Anfield and first-minute own goal at Southampton last month.
The future?
Youngster Luke Garbutt was the only other defender to make a senior appearance as a late substitute against Southampton. With the Europa League beckoning next year the former Leeds youngster may well see some more action in 2014/14 along with Under-21 Player of the Year Tyias Browning and may be even Shane Duffy, who performed admirably on-loan at Yeovil despite their relegation from the Championship.

Americans in Cruise Control
By RICH ROBERTS
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
The Americans want to kick some more sail, George Collins wants a piece of Dennis Conner, and the rest of the Whitbread Round The World Race fleet just wants it to be over.
It will be soon enough, after the nine Whitbread 60s sail the last three of nine legs, starting today from Ft. Lauderdale 870 nautical miles to Baltimore, then back across the Atlantic to where the eight-month marathon started last September.
The face of the race has changed since then. While the last two Whitbreads were dominated by New Zealand boats and sailors, Swedish boats and American sailors have taken the lead in this one.
Paul Cayard's EF Language, sponsored by a Swedish language-teaching company, has five other Americans among the 12-man crew and is running away with the race. Even if Gunnar Krantz's Swedish Match, currently in second place, were to win the remaining legs, EF Language would have to average only fourth place for the overall victory.
Collins, the 57-year-old Baltimore-based backer and sometime skipper of fourth-place Chessie, dreams of leading the fleet up tricky Chesapeake Bay into Baltimore four or five days hence but would probably settle for beating Conner's entry, Toshiba, currently a dismal seventh.
Conner, 55, will be aboard Toshiba for only the second time in the race, replacing skipper Paul Standbridge of England for this leg.
Cayard's hard-driving crew is stoked, despite the huge lead on the last leg from Brazil. It seemed headed for its fourth win in six legs when Britain's struggling Silk Cut slipped past and beat them into Ft. Lauderdale by 78 minutes.
"Coming in second gives me a bad taste in my mouth," Cayard said.

Women's Writes - Works
"Well-behaved women seldom make history."
— Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
So many studies done that try to tell us about women. What are women like? What do women want? Some of the studies ring uncomfortably true, like the studies that show women lack confidence, that even the most talented, most capable of women often feel like they are imposters, like they are not worthy of their own accomplishments. So today, I give you Angelica, aware that she is no angel, but struggling to deal with what she really is.
Everything about her was a lie. The clothes. The make up. The shoes. Even the ID card in her purse was a lie. She wasn't who she said she was, even though everything matched her birth certificate, her marriage certificate, and her social security records. Angelica. Jeff called her Angel, but he knew she was no angel. He would have run away as fast as he could the other direction if she had been; he preferred his women real, he said, not cherubim.
She crossed her legs nervously, wondering if the interviewer would see right through her. Would they realize she was a fake? An imposter? Or would they believe the list of degrees and awards, the resumes showing previous jobs successfully undertaken, the glowing references? It was always frightening, these job interviews, because if she couldn't convince herself to believe, how could she convince them?
The door opened, and an unseen woman called her name. Angelica Barnett. That was her…or at least, that was who she was supposed to be. She straightened her skirt, adjusted her shoe which had slipped slightly off, and entered the office. The woman greeted her without warmth, efficiency the only emotion allowed here. She introduced herself as Mrs. Littler, and showed Angelica where to sit. Then she disappeared, and Angel was left on her own.
She watched the hands on her watch creep by as she waited. One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes. The door opened, and a large man bustled in. He introduced himself as Mr. Wade, Roy Wade. Good. That was who her appointment was with. She wasn't going to have to wait any longer. She watched him as he moved toward the coffee pot, poured himself a cup, and offered him one. She turned it down, wanting coffee but afraid she would spill it on her nice yellow shirt. She had changed three times already today, her nervousness about the interview causing her hand to shake and covering outfit after outfit with brown liquid. She gave up on the coffee and went to work without her stimulant. It would be a long day.
Mr. Wade settled behind the desk and opened a file…her file, she assumed. The file they opened on her the day she applied for this job. It was thicker than she expected. She figured all they would have was her resume, but there seemed to be a lot of information in there. Was that all about her? Where did they get all that? She gulped. This didn't look good. Why would they collect so much background? She began to wish she had followed Lucy's advice and requested her FBI file. Don't be silly, she'd said. Why would I have an FBI file? Lucy spoke in whispered tones as if afraid the office might be bugged. Of course you have one, she said. Don't you know the FBI keeps a file on everyone? And besides, you're a….Lucy broke off then, because Mr. Duncan wandered into the office, and Angel never discovered what she was.
Mrs. Littler swept through the room, responding to a buzzer that Mr. Wade pushed on his phone. She brought him a stack of something…forms? More information about her? Her FBI file? Angel tried to see what she was carrying without looking like she was trying to see what she was carrying. Still more papers went into that already overstuffed file on Mr. Wade's desk. He rifled through the papers without speaking, without looking at Angel, and without interruption.
"So." It was the first thing he'd said. Angel nodded, not knowing what was expected of her.
The silence fell again. What did that mean, so? Was she supposed to say something? Do something? He smiled, the sort of smile she was used to, the smile that says, you're a pretty enough woman, why are you here? It was a smile she saw at most job interviews, at least those that were with men.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?"
Oh, God, he said it. Most of the men left it unsaid, but he had to go there. The lamest line he could have started the conversation with, and he had to reach for that one, stupid phrase. The phrase she hated most in the entire world. She had no idea how to answer such a question. Should she deny she was pretty? Or should she try to explain it away, to explain that pretty women could be smart, talented, capable? Or just…make a joke? That last was impossible. She had never been able to think of a good joke to answer that question.
"Sorry, I didn't mean that. Forget I said it."
Good. She would…well, no, she wouldn't, but she would act like she did, because she didn't have anything to say about it anyway. She was here because she wanted a new job. She wanted a job that challenged her, that offered her something more than the waste of time she was in at her current job now that the new owners had reorganized.
"So you are Angelica…do they call you Angel?"
"My husband does…but no one else." Angel decided she would be forthright this time. She had struggled a lot at her current job because she had just nodded dumbly at her last interview when the bossed asked that. It took forever to straighten them out and be called what she preferred.
"Good. Angels aren't much good here. I'm looking for a hard scientist, not a miracle worker. So is it all right if I call you Dr. Barnett?"
Angelica nodded. "Yes, that'll be fine." She was relieved. She would rather be treated with the respect of being called doctor than the often mocking Angel that she was saddled with thanks to whimsical parents.
Mr. Wade turned back to the file. "Very impressive credentials. Very impressive indeed." He paused and examined a piece of paper in the middle of the stack. "Such an accomplishment for one so young. You've received more awards than anyone I've ever had in this office for an interview."
Angelica didn't speak. She was embarrassed about her awards, because she never had deserved them. She had managed to fool so many people for so long. She knew genetics, yes, but there were so many who knew so much more than her. So many more deserving people. She waited for him to speak again.
"You know, don't you, that if we hire you you'll be the first woman on our team?"
She shook her head. She had not known that. It didn't surprise her, though. She knew so many talented women, but most of them struggled to find the good jobs. Most of them didn't even get interviews. She rarely got interviews.
"We need a woman. It looks…bad…not to have any women. Your resume looked…good. It's a little off-putting, you know, a name like yours. Angelica. So, oh, I don't know, how should I put it? Feminine. Such a feminine name, one doesn't expect such good scientific credentials."
Angelica was stunned. This wasn't the conversation she expected. She had expected to be asked about her background, her experience, her education. She had prepared to talk about her research, about the groundbreaking work they had been doing in her lab before the reorganization. About what she liked about this firm, and why she wanted to come to work here.
"Women don't really belong in science, you know. Too kind. Too nurturing. Too…delicate." Mr. Wade was frowning at her file. "Still, you do seem to have done a lot of stuff…you really did this, right? This isn't, like, something you made up? Or maybe stuff a man was lead researcher? Not that I think you aren't capable, of course. We just…have to be sure. I wouldn't want to offer the job to someone who was…you know…window dressing."
Angelica sagged. He had seen through her. No, a man hadn't done any of that, of course not. She wouldn't lie on her resume, and most of that stuff looked like he had collected all her papers, all her degrees, all her awards…everything anyone could know about her. It was just…she didn't feel like that should be her. She felt…wrong, somehow, like, no matter what she did, it wasn't good enough. Now he had spotted that, even though he drew the wrong conclusion. Yes, she was a fake, but not that kind of fake. It was just…everyone looked at her work and thought it was good. They didn't know how small and unworthy she felt inside. They thought she was a scientist; she knew she was just a little girl playing scientist.
"Well, you know, we could probably work something out. We do have a need to diversify our crew, and you certainly have the background. Your background is almost as good as the team we already have. You might fit in, if you…well, if you…"
"If I was a man?" Angelica couldn't believe she was saying it. Her words came out as if on their own, without her permission.
"I don't mean that. I mean…well, it is difficult, you know, when you have a woman in a lab. There might be…complications. What if…what if some man…what if you…fall in love? And there are tears?"
"Mr. Wade, I am happily married, and have never met any other man that can match up to my husband in my eyes. I can't imagine I will fall in love. And I can assure you, there will not be tears. Unless the men on your team are in the habit of crying?"
Mr. Wade turned red. "No, of course not. I just…it isn't natural for men and women to work side by side without…you now."
Angelica stood. "I don't think I'm interested in this job. I have worked along side men for a long time without…you know. Yes, I do know. Funny, I thought I was in the 21st century, but it appears this office is still locked in the 19th century, with Victorian morals and ideas about women. But if you still want to hire a woman, I can give you the names of many talented, capable women. You might be able to persuade one of them to work here…if you can get past their feminine names and how pretty they are."
She didn't look back as she swept out of the office. She saw the startled look on his face before she turned away, and was satisfied. He wasn't used to having people stand up to him, she supposed. She held her breath until she was in the elevator headed down, and then released it in a long, slow sigh. She felt good. For the first time since she could remember, she felt like the truth. Her life was hers, and she was who she said she was. She was not an imposter.
She did regret not getting a chance to work on the projects they were doing in this office, but perhaps it was for the best. And she knew, when she explained it to Jeff, he would understand. He would know she had done the right thing.

Christian excels in the ISFA U15 squad
Congratulations to Christian Scales (BFr), who was selected to play for the Under 15 Independent Schools Football Association squad in a four-team tournament last Friday at Manchester United's Carrington training ground.
Christian was one of only two players to play all three matches for the ISFA team in full. He played at centre back.
The ISFA team did very well, coming second of the four teams, losing 1-0 to United, drawing 2-2 with Exeter and beating Bradford 3-0.
In addition to his football prowess, at the recent Schools athletics meeting at Watford, Christian broke his personal best at 400m in a time of 52.1 secs. He also accumulated the most personal points and won a Platinum award for doing so.
Well done, Christian!

All right, Shielae, when we first moved here, led by the glorious roller-blader himself, the most important thing, of course, was to get the forums up and running and so reclaim a place for the exchange of our inimitable mix of folly and observation (I couldn't quite bring myself to say 'insight'). And, of course, that remains the most important thing. At the same time, it occurred to me then that we might slowly be able to use the possibilities of this site to come up with something a bit more substantial, combining our disparate strengths and interests to create a more ambitious shrine for things giallorosse, as one might perhaps say. This will take time and I'm sure none of us have the time or energy to commit to it in anything other than a desultory and piecemeal fashion. Still, time stretches before us.
I'm thinking, in particular, of things like a proper section devoted to details of the club's history. And here I will lean, from time to time, on the Avvocato to contribute snippets on Agostino, for instance, and other details and memories from his time at the club in the late-20s and the early 30s. Sorry, sorry, late 70s and early 80s. At its simplest level, this will be one way of preserving pieces like the various homages to di Bartolomei that he's added from time to time. Pieces which have tended to be lost over the years. Others might concoct somthing on Rollo or on the thrills and spills of FanAntonio's time in giallorosso.
At the same time, I wonder if we might be able to come up with some interesting threads on our current players – combining multimedia clips or links of goals or notable moments, narratives of their history and memorable performances, anecdotal snippets, tactical observations, and the rest. If we all add contributions then perhaps I, or others, can eventually weave the disparate contributions into a single narrative piece, always open for further additions.
So, to get things started, how about something on DDR on his birthday – memories or observations, details which ought to be the stuff of a DDR page.
Here is Wikipedia's offering as a starting point:
De Rossi, born in Rome and a product of the A.S. Roma youth system (where his father, former Roma player Alberto De Rossi, is a coach), made his first-team debut in October 2001 against Belgian side RSC Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League. He made his Serie A debut on 3 May 2003; his first Serie A start, and his first goal, came one week later against Torino Calcio.
After graduating from the A.S. Roma youth set-up, De Rossi has gradually become a key midfield player for the club. Strong, with good vision on the ball and a combative mentality, De Rossi won the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship and in the same year collected a bronze medal with the Italy national football team at the Athens Olympics.A few weeks after returning from Greece, De Rossi earned his first cap in the senior squad, scoring on his debut in the 2006 FIFA World Cupâ"¢ qualifying game against Norway (2-1).
De Rossi was praised by referee Mauro Bergonzi after he had scored a goal with his hand in a match against Messina. Bergonzi allowed the goal until De Rossi showed a great piece of fair play when admitting to the referee that he had pushed the ball in with his hand, the goal was disallowed and Roma went on to win 2-1.
De Rossi was named to the Italian national team in 2006. During a 2006 FIFA World Cup group play match against the United States, De Rossi received a straight red card after he elbowed Brian McBride in the face. McBride left the pitch bloodied, but returned after treatment and later required three stitches. De Rossi later apologized to McBride (who subsequently praised De Rossi as "classy" for approaching him after the match). [1] De Rossi was banned for four matches and fined CHF 10,000.[2]
De Rossi returned for Italy in the final, coming on as a substitute on the 61st minute for Roma team mate Francesco Totti. In the penalty shoot-out at the end of the match (which finished 1-1) De Rossi scored Italy's third penalty to help his country win their fourth FIFA World Cup.
De Rossi has played in all of Italy's Euro 2008 qualifying games thus far, scoring a goal against Georgia, he even has been given the honour of wearing the number 10 shirt since team mate Francesco Totti has not returned to the Azzurri since the World Cup final.
My first clear memories of DDR come with his breaking into the senior squad at the end of that season in 2003 under Crapello when we were crying out for the young boy to be given a chance to show what he could do. We have, then, reluctantly to thank Crapello for giving DDR his chance but, much more forcefully, for being, as I understand it, the key figure in the club refusing to include DDR in any deal for Legrottaglie at the end of that season. Legrottaglie was coming off a fine season with Chievo and we were clamouring for a quality centre-back to partner the Wall. Negotiations for Legrottaglie were painfully slow and complicated, primarily because Chievo wanted to snare DDR as part of the deal. In the end Rubentus swooped for him and we were left, in the end, with one of the very finest young central midfielders in the world and with a defensive pairing of Samuel and Chivu. Not Moggi's finest hour. Bless.
There is much that we can say about DDR, as a true Roman and Romanista, the future captain of La Magica, a player of formidable personal, physical, and technical qualities. He is, I think, the complete central midfielder, defensively as good as just about anyone, comfortable on the ball, and capable of getting forward and scoring goals, both from long range with his rocket of a shot and in the air – I think at once of the disallowed goal against Lyon.
Spalletti has him now playing more defensively. When he was playing alongside Emerson or Dacourt or Rollo he had more licence to get forward; alongside Pizarro his role is as the true anchorman in the midfield, protecting the back four. In many ways this can limit his game; at the same time, his importance to the tactical shape of the side was revealed last season on the few occasions on which he was caught out of position, leaving the centre-backs exposed. Villa's goal in the first match against Valencia sticks in my mind: on the one occasion on which DDR was caught on the wrong side of the ball, Valencia (through Moretti, I think) were able to drive at the unprotected defence and a goal was conceded. Strong in the air, positionally polished, and crunching in the tackle, he is a complete holding player. He is the heart and soul of the side's midfield; that it was De Rossi who scored the late goal at Old Trafford was emblematic as was his completely cheerless lack of celebration. He is a true team player, totally committed and totally loyal to Roma.
I will leave it to others to point out the negative side to his commitment – perhaps one can say simply that his tackles aren't always quite perfectly timed? His lowest ebb came in the World Cup, with his sending off for an ugly elbow on McBride and the suspension that came with it which ruled him out of Italy's run to the final. And yet the his qualities are revealed here too, since he returned to the side to replace Perrotta in the second half of the final and, then, coolly to slot a penalty in the shoot-out as the Azzurri sealed their triumph. His qualities are shown not so much in the fact that he so calmly slotted his penalty under such exceptional personal pressure – one could almost expect that from him – but in the fact that he was asked to take a penalty in the first place, in the fact that Lippi had no hesitation in turning to his young midfielder.
De Rossi is the present and the future of La Magica and of the Azzurri. To see him run the midfield alongside the little eagle is surely one of the greatest joys for any Romanista.

So, gentlemen, please add away if you fancy - there is more, no doubt, to be added on that handball incident, on his dad's role in the youth set-up, on some of his sensational long-range strikes, one of which I particularly remember because it got us out of trouble when we were playing without any real spark. Or we could add something on his role as regista for the Azzurri in the absence of Pirlo, etc. etc. I leave the Multimedia bits and pieces to those more adept at such things.

Anymore thoughts or views or anything that anyone would like to contribute on our future Capitano, Daniele De Rossi?

Its May 3rd 2009 and I barely stumbled upon this thread! Oh wow, we need to lighten up this thing.
Yes Shield, how about having various Avatars of the future Capitano? That would be nice to have access to. I have a hard time downloading pictures that fit the right dimensions for this site, so any pictures that I have don't work.

ddr is back. his return was marked with a screamer assisted by none other than francesco totti. i thought now was fitting time to make my little tribute to capitano futuro (featuring some bombshells from 40 yards and a wide-eyed buffon). no doubt i could have done better with the music/commentary, but it sounded a little better before i uploaded it. the last couple of seconds of the video shows my favorite DDR moment of all time. looking back, i think adding a clip of the handball incident from 2005/06 would have been a nice touch.

hi everyone!!
i'm an italian and roman fan of the AS ROMA already since 10 yers. I signed up in this forum because i'm searching for a forum to talk about serie a league and specially as roma with other users of other country.
Probably my english will not be perfect but i'm learning it. I want to express my opinion about DDR: according to me he has always been one of the top football players of the world but, unfortunately, he had ups and downs during his career (i can say that?xD). He is a sensitive person and so whenever he must get used to a new situation. Some coaches didn't considered him and so he had a drop in performance, but in this season i see the old DDR, the one who never give up, who always fights. Much of the credit goes to Rudi Garcia, who has been able to make him needful. I watched the Davidp's video and i liked it much xD and i want add the ddr's gol against livorno in the first game of this season. Good luck DDR!!!!

Welcome to the forums, asmonteroma, and nice first post. I agree, I have always thought DDR to be one of the best players around. True, he has had is ups and downs, and for various reasons (Zeman, his personal problems etc) he did show a dip in form and wasn't quite at his best, but for me, he has always been one of the best defensive midfielders in the game. Defensive midfielders, in general, don't quite get the credit they deserve and don't get all the spotlight like more fancy, flair players, and DDR is one who goes about his business without much fuss. This season, he really is back to the DDR we all know and love, and long may it continue.

The Perfect Scam Podcast
Deceiving the Deaf
by Sid Kirchheimer, - October 13, 2008 | Comments: 0
People who are hard of hearing, and organizations that advocate on their behalf, are being victimized or used as fronts in several little-known but persistent, unscrupulous schemes.
In one ongoing scam, deaf people are notified by e-mail that they've won a "lottery for the deaf," sometimes purportedly connected with the National Association of the Deaf.
It's a lie, says the NAD, a bona fide organization based in Silver Spring, Md., that has nothing to do with the phony lottery.
This fraud first surfaced several years ago but recently rebounded in several states. E-mails targeting the hearing-impaired promise winnings of $50,000 or more—but the "winners" are told they can collect the prize only after first paying $1,500 to cover taxes or other fees. Once the money is wired, the victims never hear back from the perpetrators, who are believed to be based overseas.
Another scam claims to be from charities or advocacy groups for the deaf, asking for donations or answers to surveys. In reality, these e-mails attempt to gain personal financial information—and money—from good-hearted Samaritans. Recently, scammers sent a barrage of such e-mails appropriating the name of Deaf Women United, a national nonprofit based in Philadelphia. The advocacy group has issued a warning about the phony solicitations—and cautions people not to respond to e-mails from deafsupport@writeme.com, deafsupport@hotmail.com or similar addresses.
Scammers also target businesses using technology designed for deaf people to communicate by telephone. Messages entered on a TTY (teletypewriter) or TDD (telecommunications device for the deaf) are transmitted over the Internet or by a telephone relay operator—a telecommunications employee who serves as a go-between for deaf and hearing parties in a call. The process masks the scammer's identity because, by law, the operator is prohibited from disclosing the origin of a call and must relay any message, no matter how suspicious. Usually, the crook orders a large quantity of expensive merchandise and pays with a stolen credit card. The business ships the order and finds out later the payment was fraudulent.
To protect yourself:
• First, realize that there is no "lottery for the deaf"—and any "prize" demanding upfront fees is bogus. Scammers can easily get your e-mail address from chat rooms or by buying address lists.
• If you want to donate to organizations that help the hearing-impaired, do it directly. Do not respond to solicitations sent by e-mail.
• Business owners should check with the credit card issuer before shipping orders placed via TTY or TDD, purportedly from deaf customers or organizations that assist them.
If you've been duped in any of these scams, report it to your state attorney general's office. E-mails claiming to have come from deaf services or promoting a "deaf lottery" should be forwarded to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.
