Instagram is something that more and more people are becoming interested in when talking about social media use. That being said, how can you be sure to get more Instagram followers for your business? One of the best ways to do so is to go ahead and take the time to start posting guest blogs of all sorts. Here are some tips on how you can make that a reality.
You don't want to be irrelevant. As a matter of fact, you want to be vigilant about what sites that you're going to be posting on. You want them to be related to your niche and you want people to notice whatever it is that you're trying to do. Use sites like guest post tracker to find blogs in your niche that are accepting guest posts and you'll have an easier time expanding your audience over time.
By working with other Instagram professionals and building relationships with them, you will find that they are a lot more likely to ascribe to the "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" philosophy. Develop relationships with other Instagram Pros, share their content, talk about what they're doing and leave comments. Then, it'll be easier for you to convince them that a guest blog on their site is totally worth it for them and for you.
You're doing things on Instagram, right? People don't want lousy pictures – be sure that you show off some of what you're doing in your guest posts. Take some awesome pictures that will catch people's attention and that will make them more likely to look for your Instagram in order to get more information about what is going on with your site. Link them to your Instagram as well – it'll take people right where you want them to go! It makes things easier and it gets you even more established as an Instagram pro.
You want to be sure that you're keeping an eye on everything and everywhere that you're posting your content. By taking the time to really look at the guest post subjects and options that make the biggest difference for your site, you will find that there are a lot of different topics that you could be approaching. Get creative with what you're doing and make sure that you vet every site that you plan on posting onto. By doing your research and knowing what is going on, you can be sure that the sites you post on are going to make a difference.
Any sort of error is going to turn people off to your guest posts. Instead, be really vigilant about what it is that you're writing and how you write it. By taking the extra time to edit and to see what you could make better, you will be a lot more impressive to the people you are looking to write guest posts for. Taking the time to really get things down pat will make that process easier for you as well.
Take a look around and consider what your options are. Guest posting as an Instagram professional can go a long way and you're going to catch the attention of many different people if you do it correctly. Be diligent in your search, connect with people, and get your guest posts out there so that you can increase your audience organically.

Sadiq Khan gives permission for giant balloon of Donald Trump as a baby to fly during his UK state visit
The group behind Trump Baby are trying to raise £30,000 for groups on the receiving end of Trump's policies

How a no deal Brexit can still happen, even if most MPs are against it
The fundraiser is at £20,297 - they're aiming for £30,000
Protesters also need permission from the police before it can fly again
London mayor Sadiq Khan has given permission for the Donald Trump baby blimp to fly again.
The protesters are now waiting permission from the Metropolitan police, who have previously allowed the Trump Blimp, in which the president is shown wearing a nappy and holding a mobile phone.
The group behind Trump Baby has said they will only let him fly if they successfully raise £30,000 for groups on the receiving end of Mr Trump's policies and far-right extremism.
On Saturday, they had raised £20,297 from 715 supporters. The money will go to three UK and three US groups.
'A joke out of Trump'
If he does eventually take off, it will fly over Parliament Square on Tuesday, the second day of President Trump's state visit. The main protest will be at Trafalgar Square at 11am.
Anna Vickerstaff, one of the babysitters, told The Times: "We're all for making a joke out of Trump but we won't let the opportunity pass to support those fighting the very serious impacts of what he's doing."

The UK Student Climate Network, Jawaab, which fights racism and Islamaphobia, and Sisters Uncut, which tackles domestic violence.
The US groups are climate change activists at Sunrise Movement, United We Dream, which is an immigrants' group, and Planned Parenthood, which offers sexual health care services, among others, and is at the centre of the abortion rights campaign.
Donald Trump brushes off protests and insists that the UK 'really loves' him
Another babysitter, Max Wakefield, said: "This time, all money raised will go to these charities. We have enough cash in the kitty to cover the cost of flying the blimp, now we want to harness its power to help the people who are suffering under Trump.
"Obviously Trump isn't a UK politician, but we wanted to remind people that the right-wing values with which he's associated extend beyond the US – they're touching the whole world.
"Trump Baby has had such an enduring impact and we want to harness this to help people, as well as create a memorable reference point for global protests against the far-right."
Trump's breakfast with May
As protesters are expected to pack Parliament Square, President Trump will have breakfast at St James' Palace with Theresa May and business leaders.

While in the UK, he will also meet Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and lay a wreath at the memorial for the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey.
On Wednesday, he travels to Portsmouth to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Freedom to roam...what has happened?
As the father of a 14 year old boy I can relate to the message in the video below. Thinking back to when I was a young boy, my bike was my ticket to independence. I would take off in the morning and not return until dinner time. Cell phones didn't exist and video games costs .25 cents for each game played so the freedom of being on the bike and exploring was what we did!
At the age of 13, I had a part time job that was about 4.5 miles from my home and I rode my bike to work and back home everyday. That was after riding my bike to and from school (about 2 miles each way).
Yesterday I took a ride to a local store a couple of miles from my home and was sitting in the patio outside a Starbucks watching people and cars go by. What I noticed was most cars only had 1 person in them and in many cases they left the store with one bag...a bag that could easily be carried on a bike!
When I headed home, I rode through the gas station area that is part of the shopping center. I rode past each pump looking at the totals....most were around $45.00 and there were several over $100.00 with one topping out at $110.00. I assume many of these fill ups occur on a weekly basis...WOW!
As my son approaches the "driving years" I hope his love of cycling will remain strong and that he will continue to enjoy the sport. I suspect he will because it's something we do together.
Since making this post, the following book was shared with us.
FREE RANGE KIDS has become a national movement, sparked by the incredible response to Lenore Skenazy?s piece about allowing her 9-year-old ride the subway alone in NYC. Parent groups argued about it, bloggers, blogged, spouses became uncivil with each other, and the media jumped all over it. A lot of parents today, Skenazy says, see no difference between letting their kids walk to school and letting them walk through a firing range. Any risk is seen as too much risk. But if you try to prevent every possible danger or difficult in your child's everyday life, that child never gets a chance to grow up. We parents have to realize that the greatest risk of all just might be trying to raise a child who never encounters choice or independence.

Špania Dolina is a peculiar mining village in the mountains northwards from the city of Banská Bystrica, between the Low Tatras and the Great Fatra mountains. Findings from Late Stone Age (eneolit) and the Bronze Age demonstrate surface mining of copper in this village. It was famous almost in the whole Europe especially due to its large deposit of copper.
The first written reference of the village is from the year 1263. After the deposits in Staré Hory were emptied, it became a centre of the mining industry in the region of Banská Bystrica in the 16. century. After the local mines were closed in 1888, the local population started to work as woodcutters and workers in local ironworks. Women produced bobbin laces, which became very popular within Slovakia.
Large village houses with shingle roofs irregularly built mainly on steep slopes remind us the mining history of this area.
In the village there were preserved: originally a renaissance knocking board from the 16. century (used for calling miners to work), a late-renaissance building of a presbytery from the first half of the 17. century, a gothic chapel from the end of the 15. century and a Roman-Catholic church, which arose as a reconstruction of an older, probably a roman church in the year 1593. Close to the village you can find a technical historical monument - original water duct of Špania dolina.

Bramley Cottage is a pre 1800's Palladian Style house which would have originally been built for the Farm Manager of the Williams & Woods Fruit farm. In 2000 Maurice & I decided to restore the house to create a family home, and the gardens have been developing ever since. There was never a plan, as I wanted to carry out the gardens as it suited our needs. I knew I always wanted to create a series of rooms or spaces throughout the garden. There were a number of reasons for this.
I wanted the garden to become a resource for my business to demonstrate various styles or layouts.
I think gardens should be a journey of engaging experiences, not just in terms of working in them, but in how you feel in the different spaces as you go through them.
I wanted a continuously changing and evolving composition from every window of the house. Windows are picture frames, and when I stand daydreaming looking out I want it to be a satisfying experience – one that leaves me feeling happy after a two minute rest from everyday life.
The garden is my hobby – not just my job. I think that's true of anyone really passionate about horticulture and plants. It is all consuming, and there is nothing better than experimenting in your garden and feeling satisfied when the planting combination you played with works out.
The main reason for the garden is because I just love plants, gardens, landscape – and how amazing it can make you feel!
Visiting Bramley Cottage is by appointment only so please call ((+353) 8768 39520) or email Jane for directions.
Bramley Cottage is open to the public as a part of Boyne Valley Garden Trail. If you are interested to see Jane's garden, please call or e-mail.

What's screening at the Chicago Latino Film Festival
More than a hundred new shorts and features make their local debuts at the 32nd edition.
By J.R. Jones @Jr_Jones
Karadima's Forest
Fri 4/8–Thu 4/21
River East 21
chicagolatinofilmfestival.org
$13 or $110 for a 12-film pass.
The 32nd edition of the Chicago Latino Film Festival opens Friday, April 8, with Roberto Girault's Mexican comedy Illusions S.A., and closes Thursday, April 21, with Ariel Winograd's romantic comedy No Kids. In between you can catch more than a hundred new shorts and features making their Chicago debuts. Unless otherwise noted, all screenings are $13 and take place at River East 21, 322 N. Illinois. For more information and a complete schedule visit chicagolatinofilmfestival.org.
From Afar A withdrawn middle-aged man (Alfredo Castro) picks up a young street thug (Luis Silva) for a voyeuristic sexual encounter, and the two end up in a complicated, doomed relationship. This debut feature by Venezuelan director Lorenzo Vigas—the first Latin American film to win the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival—is a quietly menacing look at two men who need to be wanted but are divided by age and class. Castro brings to his role the same contained anger and arrogance he used so effectively in Pablo Larraín's The Club (2015); Silva, in his first role, doesn't quite reach his character's core, but his impulsiveness offers a fine counterbalance to Castro's caginess. In Spanish with subtitles. —Marilyn Ferdinand 93 min. Wed 4/13, 9 PM and Fri 4/15, 8:45 PM.
Gabo: The Creation of Gabriel García Márquez This Spanish documentary about the foremost practitioner of Latin American magic realism is remarkably compact given García Márquez's prodigious literary output and the revolutionary decades he witnessed. Much is made of the author's idyllic early childhood on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, where his doting grandparents regaled him with stories. As a university student in Bogotá he began a career in advocacy journalism, which later took him to Venezuela, Europe, Mexico, and Cuba; after overcoming writer's block with his epic 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude he pursued writing books full-time but continued to crusade for social justice while cultivating friendships with Fidel Castro and Bill Clinton. Director Justin Webster (I Will Be Murdered) covers all the milestones, but to feel the passions that inspired García Márquez, you'll have to read his books. In Spanish with subtitles. —Andrea Gronvall 90 min. Fri 4/15, 9 PM, and Sun 4/17, 6:15 PM.
In the Game This Kartemquin Films documentary looks at a public high school on Chicago's southwest side for a few years before and after Rahm Emanuel's sweeping budget cuts to the city's school system. Director Maria Finitzo focuses on the girls' soccer team—specifically a few star players and the benevolent, paternal coach—but this doesn't feel like a sports movie so much as a lament for America's beleaguered working class. The coach teaches the girls valuable lessons about hard work and self-discipline, and the players Finitzo follows grow as individuals, but once they graduate, they find it nearly impossible to stay above the poverty line, let alone pay for college. This inspires warm admiration for the subjects while stirring up rousing anger at our city's social inequality—Kartemquin at its best. —Ben Sachs 77 min. Tue 4/12, noon, University of Chicago-Illinois Ortiz Latino Cultural Center, 803 S. Morgan; also Fri 4/15, 10:30 AM, North Park University, 3225 W. Foster; also Tue 4/19, 6 PM, River East 21.
Invasion Documentary maker Abner Benaim interviews residents of Panama City about the U.S. invasion that deposed General Manuel Noriega in December 1989. "Everyone has a truth," Benaim explains. "Even if that truth is a lie, I accept it anyway." To this end, he illustrates the testimony of some witnesses by having them reenact what they did in those chaotic days, whether they're shooting at U.S. paratroopers stuck in a mud flat, hauling a looted refrigerator down the street, or smoking crack in an ornate chair taken from Noriega's palace; he even recruits bystanders to play corpses in the street. Like Claude Lanzmann (Shoah) and Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing), Benaim forgoes any archival footage, capturing instead the texture of memory. In Spanish with subtitles. —Bill Stamets 90 min. Sat 4/9, 7:45 PM, and Mon 4/11, 8:15 PM.
Karadima's Forest An impressionable young man from a broken home (Pedro Campos) thinks he's found a calling when an influential priest (Luis Gnecco) takes him under his wing, but the priest coerces him into a long-term sexual relationship. Based on the true story of Fernando Karadima, leader of Chile's powerful El Bosque ("The Forest") church for more than 20 years, this drama is structured around the testimony of one of his victims, and its meticulous narrative, presented in scenes of Benjamín Vicuña as the grown man and in lengthy flashbacks, shows how a sexual predator grooms his victims. Gnecco's performance as Karadima, a callous narcissist whom many of the Chilean faithful call "the little saint," made my skin crawl. Matias Lira directed. In Spanish with subtitles. —Marilyn Ferdinand 98 min. Sat 4/16, 8 PM, and Mon 4/18, 6 PM.
Land and Shade There are bleak films, and then there are absolutely desolate ones like this 2015 Colombian drama by César Acevedo. An old sugarcane farmer (José Felipe Cárdenas), summoned to care for his bedridden son, returns to his old homestead and the family he abandoned decades earlier; meanwhile, out in the fields, his estranged wife and daughter-in-law and their fellow laborers tangle with the exploitative company that (sometimes) pays them. Many whispered conversations in dark rooms and long takes of manual labor ensue. The film is beautifully composed and full of striking images, but Acevedo's ruthless depiction of hardship makes this hard to watch. In Spanish with subtitles. —Adam Morgan 97 min. Sat 4/16, 8:15 PM, and Wed 4/20, 8:15 PM.
Murder in Pacot A wealthy neighborhood in Port-au-Prince is nearly destroyed by the Haitian earthquake of 2010 in this smart, unconventional drama (2015) by Raoul Peck (Lumumba). After the quake, an affluent couple wait for word of their missing son; needing to pay for repairs to their ruined three-story home, they move into the servants' quarters and sublease the rest of the house to an aid worker, who then becomes embroiled in local class warfare. The father, played by French actor Alex Descas, anchors the story with a cool, understated performance, and though the pace is leisurely, Peck jams so much detail into every frame and so much subtext into every conversation that even the slowest scenes are captivating. —Adam Morgan 130 min. Sun 4/10, 3:15 PM, and Mon 4/11, 6:15 PM.
The Similars Mexican writer-director Isaac Ezban traps eight characters in a backwater bus station five hours from Mexico City on a rainy night in October 1968. Dialogue refers to a protest in the capital the next day (the real-life event ended in a massacre), but Ezban's true inspiration is less political history than The Twilight Zone. Over the waiting-room radio come weird news reports from around the world, which the paranoid travelers blame on Satan, the Soviet Union, and hallucinogens secretly administered by the CIA. But the real cause is an eight-year-old boy reading a comic book about alien invaders who live inside raindrops. This SF spoof eventually turns silly, but not in an interesting way. In Spanish with subtitles. —Bill Stamets 89 min. Producer Elsa Reyes Garcés attends the screenings. Sat 4/9, 8:30 PM, and Mon 4/11, 8:45 PM.
Thirst Joe Houlberg, currently studying at the School of the Art Institute, will introduce this screening of his Ecuadoran mystery about a blind woman and her companions visiting an old country house. 75 min. Sun 4/10, 6 PM, and Wed 4/13, 6:45 PM. v

The Franklin High School Empty Bowls Club will hold a bowl-making event on Saturday, March 2 to help make ceramic bowls in preparation for the 4th Annual Empty Bowls Dinner on May 2. Anyone 8 years or older is invited to this free, community event to create bowls out of clay which will be used in the May 2 fundraiser benefiting the Franklin Food Pantry.
The event, held from 10 – 11:30 a.m. in Room 138 at FHS, is limited to the first 25 people who register. All materials and instruction are provided for free.
The clay bowls that are created in the event will later be fired, painted and glazed in preparation for the Empty Bowls Dinner to raise money for the Pantry. Dinner attendees choose one of the hand-made bowls to take home as a reminder that "somewhere, someone's bowl is empty." The May 2 fundraiser, which includes a simple meal of soup and bread, is meant to remind guests of the many "empty bowls" that exist in the lives of those who experience hunger.
Franklin High School is participating in an international charity project called Empty Bowls, which supports hungry people in local communities. The first part of this project is to make ceramic bowls with students, faculty, district K-12 art teachers, and the Franklin community. Then, the Empty Bowls Club and the Franklin Food Pantry co-host a community meal of soup and bread. All funds raised at this event are donated to the Franklin Food Pantry. The Empty Bowls Club has been sponsored by the Franklin Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Surf Muzak
Thoughts on the nature of surf sonics.
By Steve Pezman
Surfing Around
I never could figure out what "surf music" had to do with riding a wave, other than hitching its appeal to the then-growing wave of surf enthusiasts and the whipsawing of its outer reaches in the far beyond. Surf music, and its specific sound, was introduced as merely part of the fabricated flood of "surf" products by non-surfing people, and soon became a dominant component of the lifestyle's generally perceived identity.
Surfing, being a wave dance, does have a powerful relationship to music, just not so much what was billed, and ultimately later became tied to, as surf music. For me, at the time surf music became a thing, what actually permeated the feelings of the ride was jazz. I recall Wes Montgomery's 1965 album Bumpin' and Herbie Mann's 1961 live recording of At The Village Gate as having a certain magical effect on our brains when we envisioned ourselves traversing a wave in stylish and rhythmic trims and moves. I even played those and other similar tunes in my mind when I paddled for one, although I left it behind when the ride actually began, being too absorbed in the act itself to fabricate a soundtrack to accompany it.
And what is wrong with surf music in that latter role? Perhaps, unlike jazz, it is too didactic, simplistic, and predictable to truly articulate the nuanced aesthetic of the wave dance. Admittedly, though, we did crank it up on the radio when in route to the beach.

Q: Additivity of Lebesgue integral for non necessarily positive fucntions I know that $\int( f +g) d\mu =\int f d\mu+\int gd\mu $, for positive and measurable $ f,g$. How do I prove the same result for generic $f,g$? By de definition I know that $ \int fd\mu=\int f^+-\int f^-$, where $f^+,f^-$ are respectively the positive and negative part of $f$. I'm confused since: \begin{align} &\int (f+g) d\mu = \int(f+g)^+d\mu-\int(f+g)^-d\mu, \text{but} \\& (f+g)^+ \ne f^+ +g^+,(f+g)^- \ne f^- +g^- \end{align}
So that I cannot use additivity for positive functions to solve this.

A: Let $h=f+g$. This equality can be also written as $h^+-h^-=f^+-f^-+g^+-g^-$. Hence we have $h^++f^-+g^-=f^++g^++h^-$. Since we know Lebesgue integral is additive for non negative functions:
$\int h^++\int f^-+\int g^-=\int f^++\int g^++\int h^-$
And hence:
$\int h=\int h^+-\int h^-=\int f^+-\int f^-+\int g^+-\int g^-=\int f+\int g$

ManoMano presents the most daring DIYers!
WHAT IS A WILD PROJECT?
…a DIY project made from scratch.
…a creation that tells a unique, personal story.
…basically, an amazing, jaw-dropping project!
At ManoMano, we believe that DIY isn't just limited to your home or garden. We want to bring inspiring, crazy and fun projects into the spotlight so that others can relive the many emotions that you felt whilst creating it!
A wild project is, above all, a state of mind – you need a hint of madness to embark on an adventure like this! We're looking for people who are capable of stepping up and overcoming challenges… just for the fun of it. We're not just looking for the perfect DIY story, we want to see the honesty behind the scenes: the overcome failures, frustrations, time spent, moments of self-denial, patience and tenacity.
If that sounds right up your street, then we can't wait for you to get in touch!
WHAT IS THE AMAZING MAKING OF WEB SERIES?
THE AMAZING MAKING OF is a web series depicting DIYers who have started amazing, wild projects.
The idea is to share the stories of those incredible makers, doers, inventors, and creators across 5 European countries by giving them the visibility that they deserve. Each winner will become the star of their own episode – amazing, right?!
It all starts with a competition, where you can submit your wild and wacky projects.
If your project is chosen to represent your country, the team from ManoMano will contact you to prepare the interview and filming for the show. Some time after, a small film crew (of around 3 people) and a video journalist will meet with you and start filming your project.
During the filming, we want to present you, your project and how you went about embarking on your wild challenge. Rest assured, at no time do we intervene in your project; we are simply there to showcase what you do so well!
*Bonus point: It would be a great advantage for us if you filmed yourself throughout the project as we could integrate this into our final cut!
WHERE WILL THE SERIES AIR?
The web series, as its name depicts, is destined for online stardom. It will be broadcast on YouTube and shared across ManoMano's social media.
It's easy peasy – you just need to click on any one of the buttons on our The Amazing Making Of website and fill in the form. Here, there or there (we told you it was easy!).
To be eligible for the show, your project must already be in progress/well underway.
Unfortunately, given our production time limits, we cannot support projects that are still just at design or conception level – even if they really are totally wild.
The competition is open from the 24th May to 24th June 2018.
Our jury will choose one project per country listed here: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
You can even enter with a group of fellow makers, if you like! There are no limits to the number of people involved in creating your project. Although, for the purposes of filming, the episode will focus on the project leader and two or three key people.
The winners will be informed by email or telephone.
The winners will be announced publicly on the 2nd July 2018.
We're looking forward to seeing what sort of crazy, wild and amazing projects you bring to the table!

Drama as Documents of Former APC Minister Alimamy Kamara Disappears Mysteriously From ACC Office
By Sorie Abubakar |
2 years ago |
According to the Archivist at the Anti Corruption Commission, Brima Thullah, he could not find the assets declaration form of the former Minister of Youth , Alimamy Kamara in the pile of forms in his custody.
Mr Kamara who also served as Member of Parliament and Ambassador to Iran, is being accused by the ACC of failing to declare his assets, while he was serving in all of those position and is current answering to nine count related charges.
Appearing before Justice Hannah Bonnie of the High Court on Monday 2nd August 2019, the Prosecution witness Brima Thullah said he did recall sometime in January 2021, when he received an instruction from his Boss, one Madam Zainab Uthman to retrieve the assets declaration form of the former Minister of Youth.
Mr Thullah said he immediately went into the archives and checked for the accused form, stating that after a thorough research, he could not find the form.
The Archivist said he reported the issue to his boss, who in turn instructed him to report the matter about the unavailable form to the investigation department, where he made a statement in relation to his findings.
During cross, examination by Lawyer Africanus Sesay, the witness said he has been at the ACC since 2013 and there was no declaration in 2013. He added that they normally deliver the forms to Ministries, Departments and Agencies, and not to individuals.
According to the ACC allegations that from 2007 until 2018, Alimamy Kamara whilst serving as Member of Parliament, Minister of Youth Affairs and Ambassador to Iran failed to declare his assets and financial statements to the ACC contrary to Section 122 paragraph (a) of the ACC Act No.12 of 2008 as amended by Act No. 9 of 2019.
The matter has been adjourned to August 23rd for another ACC witness.

Together with the publication of guidelines regarding the cultivation of cannabis for medical, scientific and clinical research purposes, enhanced interest in the cannabis industry has emerged and investors are keen to be amongst the first to capitalise on the potential growth of this "green" market.
The local regulatory authority in South Africa (SAHPRA) controls the sale, possession, and manufacture of any medicine or Scheduled substance, by providing certain conditions that need to be fulfilled prior to engaging in any such activity (e.g. this may include appropriate licensing with SAHPRA and various other regulatory or government authorities).
In order to apply for registration of a medicine or Scheduled substance, an application should be completed and submitted to SAHPRA, along with the necessary supporting documentation, including a patient information leaflet, package insert, product specifications, control procedures, and manufacturing procedures.
With the above frameworks in mind, one can consider the classification of cannabis-derived products.
This classification has given rise to confusion in the industry as the Scheduling of CBD has not been refined to include specific details regarding the permissible THC concentration.
This is a product extracted from only the seeds of the cannabis plant using a cold press method of extraction. The oil contains no Scheduled substances (no CBD or THC) and is used in a variety of products ranging from foodstuffs to cosmetics.
Where a hemp seed oil meets the definition of a foodstuff, it may be legally sold in South Africa without being subject to any registrations, however, the product label and the claims made thereon would have to comply with the provisions of the Food Labelling Regulations.
The current South African cannabis related framework continues to cause confusion, particularly when it comes to an understanding of what constitutes hemp oil, cannabis oil, and hemp seed oil and has given rise to many opportunistic ventures.

BEST SCHOOLS IN HUA HIN
By Paul Van Slyke in HUA HIN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS with 0 Comments
WHAT ARE THE BEST SCHOOLS IN HUA HIN?
What are the best schools in Hua Hin is a question that every single parent who is considering moving to our beach town will ask us. Even if they've done their own exhaustive research, each client will ask our opinion on the best schools in the area. Since we have a child, and since we've been here for nearly 5 years and have checked out most of the schools in the city, people seem to want to know our thoughts on this topic. I would first like to say that a parent's preference for a school's philosophy and teaching method is a very personal and subjective matter. There is no right or wrong answer, as long as the child is happy at the school and performs well. We know parents whose children attend nearly every school in town, and they all seem happy with their choice of school, even if there is the occasional complaint or gripe about something. Here is a list of the international and larger Thai schools in Hua Hin:
Hua Hin International School
Yamsaard
BECC
Pathravadi (Elementary)
Pathravadi (High School)
Somtawin
Halio
HHIS opened in August 2015, and many parents eagerly moved their children there, thanks in large part to its preceding reputation as being the only school in Hua Hin that would be on par with the international schools in Bangkok. The school is professionally run (with a British "Headteacher") and follows an adapted UK curriculum as well as a strong Thai language program; it is fully accredited and only employs teachers from the UK and Thailand. The campus continues to grow with respect to enrollments and facilities. Just this past school year (August 2021) the school opened a new swimming pool, and has more plans to further expand its facilities.
The school is fully accredited and licensed with the Thai Ministry and ISQM as well as being a member of ISAT. Students take IGCSE examinations at aged 16, and the school is also a recognized World IB School. Located directly next to Black Mountain golf course, the drive is approximately 15-20 minutes to Hua Hin town center, and about 5 minutes to the bypass road.
UPDATE 2021: our daughter just moved to HHIS this term, and so far, she is loving the school. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming, and the kids and teachers all seem happy to be there.
Beaconhouse Yamsaard
Beaconhouse Yamsaard is another international school, located off Soi 94 in central Hua Hin, and is about 5-10 minutes from town center, which is quite convenient. Yamsaard is fully accredited and has a Cambridge English Program to enhance the English language program. Yamsaard is Thai with the main branch in Bangkok, and all the high level administrators of the school are Thai. The philosophy of the school is distinctly Thai, as is the curriculum, though every class has both a native English speaking teacher as well as a Thai teacher. The school has a good reputation throughout the country, which is important if your child plans to attend high school and/or university in Thailand. Our daughter went to Yamsaard when we first moved here, and she was quite happy. We loved her kindergarten teacher and felt that she was learning a lot. There is a nice mix of Thai and international students at the school, and the community is friendly and welcoming.
This is Beaconhouse Yamsaard's mission statement: "For parents seeking personalized education in a cosy, family atmosphere, BYIS offers interactive, 21st century education in small and closely-knit learning groups. Our study programme caters to all learning styles and balances a strong academic foundation with essential transferrable skills so that BYIS alumni are suitably equipped for the challenges of the future. Our happy and positive learners are encouraged to creatively solve problems and assume leadership roles so that each child gets to experience success, thereby building confidence and a life-long love for learning."
THE BRITISH EDUCATIONAL CHILDREN'S CENTRE (BECC)
The BECC is an international school with a UK curriculum that is based within the Vic Patravadi campus just south of Hua Hin town center. The head administrators are English, and the philosophy is more about learning through play and through doing, which resonated well with us (and with our daughter). She's been at The Becc for 3 years now, and is very happy here. The teachers are all native English speakers, and each class also has a Thai teacher who assists and teaches Thai every day. If I had one complaint about the BECC, however, it's that the Thai language program doesn't seem to be a huge priority or focus. We understand that there is a lot of material to cover in the day with only the UK curriculum, and adding Thai in the mix requires some juggling of priorities. After some feedback from parents who feel that a stronger Thai program is essential here in Thaliand, the administrators have responded with more emphasis in this area.
The atmosphere of the school is very open and communicative, and the teachers and administrators are continually encouraging creativity and independent thinking from the students. The school itself is very free-form and natural with open classrooms and an artistic feel (no doors, no AC units — UPDATE 2018: The BECC has added 2 new buildings to their campus and the new classrooms all have AC). Indeed, the school is within the Vic Patravadi campus, which is the only performing arts school in Hua Hin, founded by one of Thailand's most famous actresses, Khun Patravadi. The campus is amazing, set within the city but on a huge property amidst the countryside with horse stables, deer, turkeys, goats, and other wildlife. In fact, I joined our daughter's class on their weekly cross country run through the campus and was amazed at the natural beauty and the expansiveness of the school grounds (it was my first time to explore the area).
PATRAVADI PERFORMANCE ART SCHOOL
That brings us to the next school: The Vic Patravadi is a high school which teaches all aspects of theater and performing arts, including acting, singing, dancing and choreography, music and video, set design, costume making (and fabric dyeing), photography, painting, etc. Every year the Vic puts on a play or musical completely produced and acted by the students and teachers, and every student is required to perform. We've been two years in a row, and both shows were amazing: so professionally done and so beautiful. We were very impressed, and now want our daughter to go here when she's old enough! Additionally, there is a Weekend School that the Vic Patravadi offers for any child, regardless of whether they are enrolled at the school or not. Our daughter is currently taking private singing and piano lessons from one of the teachers, and he is great! He is able to achieve the difficult task of keeping children engaged and interested while having fun and learning.
PATRAVADI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
The elementary school is associated with the Patravadi high school and within the same campus. The school seems to have a more traditional educational approach than the high school, though less traditional than other Thai schools. The Thai language skills are strong, and there are more Thai and mixed race Thai children who attend, though there are a few non-Thai children as well. I don't know much about the academics of the school, to be honest, though the facilities are very nice.
This is a private Catholic school located in the heart of Hua Hin town center. It is one of the largest schools in Hua Hin, and has a good reputation throughout Hua Hin and beyond. The enrollment begins at nursery (age 3) and goes through high school, and there are more than 1,000 children in total. The school is strong in Thai language skills, math and science, but the English program does not compare with the other international schools throughout Hua Hin. We have heard good things about Salesian from parents whose children attend, though we don't have much experience with the school ourselves. When we first moved to Hua Hin, we visited Salesian as a possible option, but the headmaster told us he felt the school was too large for our daughter and that a smaller, more intimate option would be a better transition for her from her previous preschool in the US to kindergarten in Thailand. Paul and I both appreciated his honesty and wisdom, as looking back on his comments, we think he was completely correct in his assessment.
SOMTAWIN HUA HIN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Located in West Hua Hin, off the bypass road, about 20 minutes from town center, this international school has a stronger English language program than Salesian and possibly Yamsaard, but I've heard that the Thai language is not as big a priority here. Somtawin starts at age 3 and goes through age 18, and currently is the only international high school option in town. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews from various parents, some say the teachers are great and the quality of education is very high; other say the opposite. I understand from a good friend of mine that Somtawin has made an effort recently to hire better teachers and that the standard has improved
Halio is a small, more alternative school located in Northwest Hua Hin in a large house within a small housing development. The location is a bit remote and slightly more difficult to get to, but we've heard really great things about the school from enthusiastic parents whose children attend. The school is small and very community-oriented, and one thing that seems nice is that the younger children and older children have a lot more interaction, and the classes are divided by skill level rather than age. The students are able to have a more active role in their education by choosing the classes themselves, which encourages independence and personal responsibility. I like the philosophy of children taking a more proactive role in educating themselves and learning to think for themselves, both inside and outside the classroom, and this seems to be a big focus at Halio. The school currently has students enrolled from age 3-18, though recently stopped accepting applicants for the upper years program for children aged 13-18. We hope this information is helpful, and if you have any feedback for us about your experience at any of these schools or any Hua Hin schools that we may have failed to mention, please let us know. Thanks!

Q: Make simple array from database array return is not a subtype of type 'List' error i can successful get data from database and i try to make simple LineChart from that,
when i try to make simple array of data, o don't get any error, but when i make that with for statement i get this error:
type 'List<dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'List<UserWeightsData>'

for example:
class UserWeightsData {
  int weightNum;
  int weightValue;

  UserWeightsData(this.weightNum, this.weightValue);
}

...
List<charts.Series<UserWeightsData, int>> _seriesWeightsLineData;

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  _seriesWeightsLineData = List<charts.Series<UserWeightsData, int>>();
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
     body: _buildLineChart(context),
  );
}

now in this method: when i uncomment this part of code
var data = [
    UserWeightsData(0,20),
    UserWeightsData(1,24),
    UserWeightsData(2,25),
    UserWeightsData(3,40),
];

and commenting for statement, my code work fine without any problem. in that i can't make this array with for statement
for statement result:

as you can see for work fine and can make this array, but in this part of code as _seriesWeightsLineData.add(charts.Series( i get error

        for (int o = 0; o < weightsList.length; o++) {
          data.add(UserWeightsData(o, weightsList[o].weight));
        }

        /*var data = [

            UserWeightsData(3,40),
        ];*/

        _seriesWeightsLineData.add(charts.Series(
          data: data,
          domainFn: (UserWeightsData weight, _) => weight.weightNum,
          measureFn: (UserWeightsData weight, _) => weight.weightValue,

          ),
        );
      }
    },

}

A: Give data's list a type when you create it - otherwise it becomes a list of anything (List<dynamic>).
var data = <UserWeightsData>[];

Now it's a List<UserWeightsData>.

Stretching the Hubble telescope's vision farther across space and further back into time than ever before, astronomers have peered into a previously unseen realm of the universe.
A closer look at the Hubble telescope's most detailed image, the Hubble Deep Field, reveals that the faint galaxies seen by Hubble could account for most of the visible light in the cosmos.
Astronomers analyzing the Hubble Deep Field - the faintest view of the universe taken with the Hubble telescope - may have identified what may prove to be the most distant objects observed to date.
Scattered among the nearly 2,000 galaxies in the Hubble images, which were taken in December 1995, researchers have found several dozen galaxies they believe exhibit characteristics which make them appear to be more distant than any seen previously. Six of the galaxies appear to be more distant than the farthest quasars, the current distance record holders. The arrow pinpoints one of those six galaxies.


Factual error: There is a scene where interceptors, flying out of an Alaskan air base, are ordered to go to afterburners in a desperate attempt to catch the lone bomber. When the commander of the flight signals his wing to light their afterburners, they cut to a shot of a jet firing missiles.
Other mistake: The president's translator puts on his headphones just before the receptionist announces the Russians are on the line.
Suggested correction: He hears the buzzer before the receptionist speaks. Not a mistake.
Factual error: Near the end of the film Colonel Cascio calls his mom in NYC to tell her to get out. However, there is absolutely no way they let someone inside the control room contact the outside world at this point giving out warnings or sensitive information about the situation. Any contact with the outside world is cut.
Factual error: The B-58 bomber had a range of 1700 miles. The route they took over the USSR was over 6000 miles. No tankers were indicated on the wall map. No way they could have made it. Also, their maximum payload was two 1 megaton bombs, not 20 megaton bombs.


Special letter to the Chaldean, Syriac and Assyrian Conference in Baghdad concerning a common name for our Iraqi people which share the same Aramaic national heritage.
The story of Christianity in the Middle East is long and very interesting. Many political, cultural and theological factors led to the establishment of the Christian Churches in the Middle East. The name of each church has become both social and ethnic one.
Today's Assyrians, Chaldeans, Maronites, Melkites and Syriacs are the original people in the Middle East; they belong to the same Aramean people and the Aramaic rich culture. Many of them still speak Neo-Aramaic or use Syriac in liturgy. These Churches are aware of their common origin and Aramaic cultural heritage which is a common denominator. In the same time they face strong challenges on different levels, but in order to survive they have to cooperate more than any time.
The Christians in Iraq are facing a new era which is full of hopes and troubles. The absence of the old Iraqi regime has opened a debate concerning the issue of the common origin and one future of the groups of our people who call themselves Chaldeans, Syriacs and Assyrians. The biggest church in Iraq is the Chaldean with about 600.000 members, followed by the Syriac churches with their 300.000 members and the Assyrian churches with their 100.000 members (These numbers are according to the Iraqi magazine al-Fikr al-Masihi No. 383 - 384, page 63, 2003).
Our people in the "modern" Iraq should take advantage of the late political development by demanding their rights to participate in building their country which should be a home for all Iraqis regardless ethnical belongings, and to take hand of their Aramaic heritage.
A great problem is facing our people that it is divided into many ethnical and religious groups with a special name for each group. The current political development has led the Aramaic-speaking groups in Iraq to seek a common name which will represent all of them and would be accepted by all. If it succeeds it would be a good example for our people all over the world. Representatives from these groups met a couple of times to discuss the issue of ONE name. The meetings were courageous steps, but many difficulties are waiting on the way of the common name. We know that failure in this period is stronger than good hopes and success.
We, the organizations which sign this document, are aware of the impossibility of this immature mission today. In order to avoid sensitive problems of agreeing ONE common name we advice each group of our people to continue bearing its church and ethnic name and not to change it into another, at the same time we suggest a quick solution that is to use the name of our language by calling ourselves "the Aramaic-speakers" until an agreement can be reached in a beautiful day in the near or far future.
To be called "Aramaic-speakers" is a positive and great step as long as most of us speak Neo-Aramaic and use Syriac in liturgy. "Aramaic-speakers" is a good name which has a potential unifying strength within it. The name is neither a religious nor sectarian. The logical way of thinking would lead everybody and every group to an unhesitatingly accept it.
The following Organizations wish all the groups of our people in Iraq to take their historical responsibility and act wisely to accept calling themselves "Aramaic-speakers".


Boilers which have not been properly maintained have the potential to produce carbon monoxide. If it is dirty or the gas air ratio is not correct then you could be at risk. This can only be determined by having a service, at which time the boiler would be thoroughly cleaned. New boilers have seals to prevent the emissions coming back in to the room – in a service we would check that these are all in tact.
Older, open flued boilers have a greater risk – these should be serviced regularly. This includes warm air units!
We always recommend a carbon monoxide alarm is fitted. This will keep your peace of mind between services!
A service is a full system check, this includes checking that the pump and valves are working correctly, bleeding any radiators and checking the boiler is safe to use.
A boiler has many safety devices which need to be checked regularly. Although the main aim of a service is to check that the boiler is safe, it could also pick up any potential issues and we could arrange to fix them before the boiler stops working!
Once a service is completed we will leave you with a certificate which proves that we have passed the boiler for the year and will detail any issues we have found and how to remedy them! We can also tell you how efficient your boiler is, and if there are any ways you could be saving money on your gas bills, also whether parts for your boiler are still available!

Hoodia Gordonii Safety - What Dosage Is Recommended?
Hoodia Gordonii Safety – What Dosage Is Recommended?
– Unlike other herbal appetite suppressants, hoodia gordonii is not considered a stimulant. Therefore, there are no notable hoodia gordonii side effects as compared to stimulant weight loss aids. However, there have not been enough studies to prove conclusively that long term use of a hoodia gordonii supplement cannot or will not cause side effects.
– The most effective dosage of hoodia gordonii diet pills for those trying to lose weight is between 3,000 mg and 4,500 mg per day. Start out with a low dose around 2,000 mg per day – then work the dose up over a period of a few weeks until you feel that your appetite is sufficiently suppressed.
– There have not been enough tests surrounding hoodia gordonii safety for pregnant women or for children, so do not take a hoodia supplement if you are expecting a child, and do not give hoodia to someone under the age of eighteen.
Before starting on a hoodia gordonii diet supplement program, be sure to consult with your doctor. Make sure you tell your doctor about any medications you are on and find out as much as you can about hoodia gordonii safety as it relates to you and your personal circumstances.

=head1 NAME

Imager::API - Imager's C API - introduction.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  #include "imext.h"
  #include "imperl.h"

  DEFINE_IMAGER_CALLBACKS;

  MODULE = Your::Module  PACKAGE = Your::Module

  ...

  BOOT:
    PERL_INITIALIZE_IMAGER_CALLBACKS;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=for stopwords XS

The API allows you to access Imager functions at the C level from XS
and from Inline::C.

The intent is to allow users to:

=over

=item *

write C code that does Imager operations the user might do from Perl,
but faster, for example, the Imager::CountColor example.

=item *

write C code that implements an application specific version of some
core Imager object, for example, Imager::SDL.

=item *

write C code that hooks into Imager's existing methods, such as filter
or file format handlers.

=back

See L<Imager::Inline> for information on using Imager's Inline::C
support.

=head1 Beware

=over

=item *

don't return an object you received as a parameter - this will cause
the object to be freed twice.

=back

=head1 Types

The API makes the following types visible:

=over

=item *

i_img - used to represent an image

=item *

i_color - used to represent a color with up to 8 bits per sample.

=item *

i_fcolor - used to represent a color with a double per sample.

=item *

i_fill_t - an abstract fill

=back

At this point there is no consolidated font object type, and hence the
font functions are not visible through Imager's API.

=head2 i_img - images

This contains the dimensions of the image (C<xsize>, C<ysize>,
C<channels>), image metadata (C<ch_mask>, C<bits>, C<type>,
C<virtual>), potentially image data (C<idata>) and the a function
table, with pointers to functions to perform various low level image
operations.

The only time you should directly write to any value in this type is
if you're implementing your own image type.

The typemap includes type names Imager and Imager::ImgRaw as typedefs
for C<i_img *>.

For incoming parameters the typemap will accept either Imager or
Imager::ImgRaw objects.

For return values the typemap will produce a full Imager object for an
Imager return type and a raw image object for an Imager::ImgRaw return
type.

=head2 C<i_color> - 8-bit color

Represents an 8-bit per sample color.  This is a union containing
several different structs for access to components of a color:

=over

=item *

C<gray> - single member C<gray_color>.

=item *

C<rgb> - C<r>, C<g>, C<b> members.

=item *

C<rgba> - C<r>, C<g>, C<b>, C<a> members.

=item *

C<channels> - array of channels.

=back

Use Imager::Color for parameter and return value types.

=head2 C<i_fcolor> - floating point color

Similar to C<i_color> except that each component is a double instead of
an unsigned char.

Use Imager::Color::Float for parameter and return value types.

=head2 C<i_fill_t> - fill objects

Abstract type containing pointers called to perform low level fill
operations.

Unless you're defining your own fill objects you should treat this as
an opaque type.

Use Imager::FillHandle for parameter and return value types.  At the
Perl level this is stored in the C<fill> member of the Perl level
Imager::Fill object.

=head1 Create an XS module using the Imager API

=head2 Foo.pm

Load Imager:

  use Imager 0.48;

and bootstrap your XS code - see L<XSLoader> or L<DynaLoader>.

=head2 C<Foo.xs>

You'll need the following in your XS source:

=over

=item *

include the Imager external API header, and the perl interface header:

  #include "imext.h"
  #include "imperl.h"

=item *

create the variables used to hold the callback table:

  DEFINE_IMAGER_CALLBACKS;

=item *

initialize the callback table in your C<BOOT> code:

  BOOT:
    PERL_INITIALIZE_IMAGER_CALLBACKS;

=back

=head2 foo.c

In any other source files where you want to access the Imager API,
you'll need to:

=over

=item *

include the Imager external API header:

  #include "imext.h"

=back

=head2 C<Makefile.PL>

If you're creating an XS module that depends on Imager's API your
C<Makefile.PL> will need to do the following:

=over

=item *

C<use Imager::ExtUtils;>

=item *

include Imager's include directory in INC:

  INC => Imager::ExtUtils->includes

=item *

use Imager's typemap:

  TYPEMAPS => [ Imager::ExtUtils->typemap ]

=item *

include Imager 0.48 as a PREREQ_PM:

   PREREQ_PM =>
   {
    Imager => 0.48,
   },

=item *

Since you use Imager::ExtUtils in C<Makefile.PL> (or C<Build.PL>) you
should include Imager in your configure_requires:

   META_MERGE =>
   {
     configure_requires => { Imager => "0.48" }
   },

=back
