Weddings afford an auspicious time for aged and young women alike, along with other invited guests. Many ladies dream of experiencing a fairytale wedding, complete with magnificent ambience, sizzling dramatic lights and a handsome groom. A good wedding photographer utilizing a DSLR camera is required as well. Having the right kind of professional for this role can make the difference between having an average and memorable occasion. A number of elements should come into mind for anyone seeking to engage an Iceland wedding photographer in such case.
Creative and Advanced
Professional wedding photographers can be so creative as to turn an ordinary wedding celebration into a notable theme-design occasion. They are capable of working with excellence to produce the kind of exquisite niche that a wedding couple aspires for their big day. This becomes possible due to the creativity and skills which they possess. It includes having top-range shooting equipment and the expertise to go along with their proper application. An experienced photographer hardly employs a Polaroid or phone for capturing pictures. Hiring a Kopavogur Iceland Wedding Photographer who makes use of the right tools for taking photographs plays a distinct role in generating classy pictures, with optimum ambience and light.
Clicking a perfect moment to obtain the ideal shot requires heavy investment in terms of expertise. All people know that engaging a qualified and experienced wedding photographer is better than appointing someone at random to do the job. A seasoned Iceland wedding photographer would already have participated in many such events for example and thus know the best way of capturing exclusive moments. A Mosfellsbaer Iceland Wedding Photographer would for instance be able to take high-quality photos whether or not the lighting available is sufficient or contrast is excessive for example. A wedding album is rare happening in a person’s life and should therefore be handled without taking any chances. The most commendable way to take that ensures this happens is to utilize a professional photographer.
Carrying the Best Equipment
Photographers adept in their trade always carry along a complete photography kit. This helps a Njardvik Iceland Wedding Photographer for instance to turn what a wedding couple dreams into reality. Using the latest equipment and software for photography makes it easy capturing different scenes in a wedding in convenient and exceptional manner. Such tools are quite costly and would hardly be available to the average couple planning for a wedding. In addition, the task of capturing pictures using these complicated tools can only be handled best by a qualified photographer. In general, one needs to view the action of engaging the services of this kind of professional as an investment worth its output especially considering it is meant to last for posterity.
Making use of an expert Iceland wedding photographer who is acquainted well with the varied challenges of operating a DSLR camera possibly offers the most promising assurance of achieving classic pictures at a wedding. One should ascertain checking out what characteristics a given wedding photographer exhibits prior to hiring such an individual for the event.

Work and love. Love and work. It is in the artful interweaving of these two primary life-strands through the duration of a woman’s life that deep fulfillment is sought—and often found. And it is a fair assumption that when the virtue of discipline is added, wisdom may be the result, and much good brought forth—with God’s help.
I previously explored the vibrant image of fire as wisdom in my book Becoming Flame.
I now add to it several complementary, similarly hopeful images to which women have a natural affinity.
Spinning and weaving, sewing “in the house,” are also important themes in women’s lives. The ancient art of spinning was highly valued among women’s traditional skills well up until the industrial revolution.
What if we reconsidered for our time the blended elements of women, work, and wisdom—and even age or endurance—in new and fresh perspective?
Today the art and craft of spinning may be making a resurgence as a creative, valued occupation for both men and women. Although the traditional hand skills of spinning and weaving have largely become mechanized in factories, individual thread- and cloth-making operations still persist, by choice, as expressions of personal art.
Are we perhaps ready for a new look at this process—to revitalize the concept of spinning in spiritual terms ... as a process solidly based in the good material “feel” of work in the world that can lead to creative consequences.
The potential of taking this metaphor to the spiritual dimension is the possibility of inclusion, of combining, weaving, or even braiding several strands of available reality—and thereby preserving paradox in evocation of some of the great mysteries of life for both men and women.
In Spinning Straw, Weaving Gold, my second collection of “uncommon” mother-daughter dialogues, I focus on the wisdom to be derived specifically from women’s work—which is, by definition, any work done by women.
COMING June 16 from Circle Books:
Spinning Straw, Weaving Gold: A Tapestry of Mother-Daughter Wisdom by Isabel Anders
The Daughter asked, “How do you spin all day, and see so little for your effort, and keep from discouragement?”
The Mother answered: “See this little square of texture and design? It is enough to wrap the universe in comfort and warmth.”
The Daughter was perplexed. “How can this be?”
The Mother replied: “Even a few inches of loving intent can spread to span continents. Ask a ray of sun.”

It’s high time for Canada’s 21-year Stanley Cup drought to end.
So says Charles Barkley, NBA legend, basketball analyst and, as it turns out, a massive fan of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
“I’m pulling for a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. We need a Canadian team to win the Cup. It would be great for hockey. I know it’s been a long time,” Barkley told Dean Blundell & Co. on Sportsnet 590 The Fan Thursday morning.
Barkley, 52, said he’s lucky the Cup tournament coincides with the NBA playoffs. That way, he can keep an eye on both sports when he’s in the studio.
“I think the NHL playoffs are the best playoffs in the world,” he said. “I have all the games on. There’s nothing more exciting than the hockey playoffs, so I’m getting pumped, man. I got about a month before everything gets started, and I can’t wait.”
The golf addict said his favourite NHL team is the Arizona Coyotes: “We’re just trading everybody. We suck in hockey.”
Barkley was also happy to have met Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier.
“He was great to me.”
“I want to see the Maple Leafs do well. I know they’ve been struggling,” Barkley added, explaining that he wasn’t complimenting the NHL just because he was on air with a Toronto station.
He’s also envious of the colder sport’s commentators.
“I’m the biggest Barry Melrose fan in the world. I think he’s the best analyst on television,” Barkley said. “The only difference between Barry and us guys: hockey players are not wussies. Barry can actually get on television and say what he wants to say and every agent and every player doesn’t call you (saying) you’re hurting his feelings.”

SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Cain raised his arms and waved his cap, fighting off tears amid a standing ovation as he walked off the mound for the last time Saturday.
The home crowd at AT&T Park saluted the right-hander, a cornerstone of the Giants' championship era who pitched the only perfect game in franchise history. Cain took a curtain call and exited with a 1-0 lead.
"It was definitely an emotional roller coaster as you walk out onto the field and take the bullpen mound,'' Cain said. "The first couple of innings were all adrenaline. The last three were just on the guys and the fans, the fans just willing me along."
Cain gave up two hits, struck out four and walked one. He made his last start one day before his 33rd birthday and at the close of a $127.5 million, six-year contract.
"I think we'll look back at this game as another great memory we have of Matt Cain, from the perfect game to his postseason pitching,'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "A lot of those great games that he threw, I'll look at this game too, at what he did to finish up."
Beset by injuries in recent years, Cain has said he couldn't imagine pitching for another team. The three-time All-Star finished 3-11 with a 5.43 ERA this year.
Cain pitched the clinching game of the 2012 World Series and is among four current players on the team who were part of the Giants' three World Series championships in a five-year period. Madison Bumgarner, Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval are the others.
Cain hugged Posey on the field and was greeted by Bumgarner in the dugout.
Making his 342nd start in a career that began with the Giants in 2005, Cain threw 73 pitches in his first game in September.
Cain worked 2,085⅔ innings and started the All-Star Game in his best year in 2012. He was 16-10 with a 2.79 ERA that season and placed sixth in the NL Cy Young Award voting. His perfect game came that June against Houston.
During his prime, Cain established himself among the game's top clutch performers, going 4-2 with a 2.10 ERA in eight career postseason starts. He didn't allow an earned run in 21⅓ innings in the 2010 postseason.
Cain missed the Giants' run to the 2014 title after having bone chips removed from his right elbow. Elbow, arm and hamstring injuries limited his workload and effectiveness the past four years of his career.
Padres players joined in on the ovation when Cain left the game.
"You respect an opponent, especially when he's done it with class," Padres manager Andy Green said.
Padres: RHP Carter Capps underwent surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome earlier this week. "Everything went as it should,'' Green said. "The expectation is that he's going to be ready to go when spring training rolls around.''
Padres: RHP Luis Perdomo (8-11, 4.65 ERA) is 1-3 with a 4.43 ERA in his past four starts. He's 2-0 with a 3.55 ERA in eight career starts against the Giants.
Giants: RHP Johnny Cueto (8-8, 4.43) is 8-4 with a 3.09 ERA in 14 career starts against the Padres.
Max Kellerman responds to Dan Le Batard's outrage over Marlins CEO Derek Jeter trading Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees.
Buster Olney says Yankees manager Aaron Boone is going to have fun with his lineup combinations and suspects Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton could bat back to back.
Japan's biggest star left tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars on the table to come to America two years early. That's the gravity of playing on the world's biggest stage, and with the world's greatest player.
The MLB winter meetings are going strong in Orlando, and rumors are swirling across baseball. Here is what our writers are hearing today.
Buster Olney explains the impact of Derek Jeter's absence during MLB winter meetings after the Giancarlo Stanton trade.
Stanton is baseball's most dangerous long-ball threat. The ballpark in the Bronx is the game's best place to go deep. What happens when you put the two together? Like it or not, the rest of MLB is about to find out .

The images that Afghanistan conjures are usually ones that mirror front-page stories of newspapers around the world: armed Taliban crouching at the entry of a mountain cave, women in burqas, and images of public stonings are just a few that are constantly associated with the country.
HBO is schedule to air a two-part documentary that paints a broader picture of Afghanistan and its women. The first part titled, “Afghan Star,” named for Afghanistan’s first televised singing competition, follows the final contestants—two of which are women—as they come closer to becoming the first “Afghan Star.”
The second part, titled “Silencing the Fallen Afghan Star,” follows the story of one of the two final female contestants, Setara, who becomes notorious for her “dance moves” and “liberal” attitude while on Afghan Star. This part focuses on Setara’s life after she is eliminated from the competition.
This documentary portrays Afghan women as anything but a homogenous group, unlike the futile efforts of mainstream media to depict these women accurately. The film strays from the overused and stereotypical representation of Afghan women as victims (either cognizant or unaware of their victimization). Specifically, it doesn’t present them as victims of religion or of Afghan men in general, while still providing a space for frank and honest discussions regarding problems of governance and social injustice that seem to prevail in certain parts of Afghanistan.
Although there are only two female contestants in the documentary and a handful of other females, from fans to female relatives of the two contestants, viewers can get a glimpse of the diversity of Afghanistan’s women. We see women on film with hijab, niqab, burqa or completely unveiled. Each wears a different style of clothing, ranging from jeans and t-shirts to bright blue burqas to colorful shilvar kamis, (tunic and pant combination). Most of the women are from different ethnic groups and different regions of Afghanistan, which plays a big role in determining what is considered to be “appropriate” dress. This fact is reiterated throughout the documentary in its portrayal of the divergent dress and attitudes of the two female contestants, Lema and Setara.

Highly caffeinated beverages were in the spotlight again this week with the publication of a paper in the journal Pediatrics Monday that reviewed studies in the scientific literature, as well as government and media reports, about the contents and effects of so-called energy drinks.
The latest paper, “Health Effects of Energy Drinks on Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults,” like one published in November in The Mayo Clinic Proceedings and a recent Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) commentary, raises questions about the long-term health effects for children and young people who may over-consume drinks like Red Bull, Full Throttle, Rockstar and Monster.
“Energy drinks have no therapeutic benefit, and many ingredients are understudied and not regulated,” concluded the peer-reviewed study, which was carried out by researchers from the University of Miami and funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
The authors caution pediatricians to be aware of the safety issues surrounding energy drinks, particularly for children and teenagers with heart problems, diabetes and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and recommend discussing the risks of routine consumption with patients and their parents.
The potential problems, from too much caffeine or other ingredients that act as stimulants, include heart palpitations, seizures, strokes and even sudden death, the authors write.
Because the drinks are sold in the U.S. as “dietary supplements,” their manufacturers don’t have to follow federal regulations for sodas and juices. An average energy drink contains 70 to 80 milligrams of caffeine per eight-ounce serving, which is about three times the concentration of cola drinks, along with vitamins, herbal supplements, sugar or sweeteners.
Some of the ingredients found in energy drinks include taurine, glucuronolactone, B, vitamins, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, milk thistle and stimulants such as kola nut, cocoa and guarana.
The UK’s Committee on Toxicity has analyzed Red Bull and determined it to be safe for the general public, but said children younger than 16 years old or people sensitive to caffeine should avoid drinks with high caffeine content. The European Food Safety Authority has also examined energy drinks, and said key ingredients, like taurine and glucuronolactone, are generally recognized as safe.
In Canada, energy drinks are marketed as natural health products. They’ve been banned in France, Denmark, Turkey and Uruguay, although some of those bans have been lifted, and Norway prohibits sales to children under 15. Germany, Ireland and New Zealand have tracked energy-drink related incidents and have found evidence of adverse effects, including liver damage, kidney failure, respiratory disorders, hypertension, heart problems and a handful of fatalities, according to the study.
After adding a code specific to energy drink overdoses and related problems, U.S. Poison Control Centers began tracking such incidents last year, receiving 677 case reports from October through December, 2010, and another 331 so far this year. A quarter of the energy drink overdoses in 2011 have involved children younger than 6.
Firing back against the Pediatrics paper was the American Beverage Association, the trade group that represents the estimated $9 billion energy drink industry, the fastest growing sector of the U.S. beverage market.
In a news release, the beverage association said this newest study does nothing more than spread misinformation about energy drinks, and that an average drink contains similar amounts of caffeine to a cup of coffee. Although the group said the drinks aren’t recommended for children, it also said the caffeine consumed from energy drinks for those under 18 is less than what they get from soft drinks, coffee and teas.
Energy drinks are marketed to young people, through advertising campaigns and sponsorship of events like extreme-sport competitions aimed at 16- to 29-year-olds. Some manufacturers host college campus promotions that endorse mixing alcohol with the beverages.

“Why, I wondered, while watching the leaves change colour in the fall, were there very few serious yet engaging books on love, its many moods and multiple meanings?”
From book’s Preface by Debotri Dhar
Featuring essays from prominent writers like Makarand Paranjpe, Alka Pande, Malashri Lal, Rakshanda Jalil, Mehr Farooqi and Zafar Anjum, this collection of essays on love is a much-needed read at this time when the definition of love, is being challenged.
Published by Speaking Tiger, this book gives historical and cultural perspectives on Indian love (swayamvara, arranged marriages, and desi romance); the immortal love of Radha and Krishna that transcends theology; the story of a powerful, sexually desiring and desired courtesan/nagarvadhu. The essays explore various themes like inter-religious love, love-jihad, same-sex love, a Dalit’s journey to finding love in times of dating apps etc.


Latin pop stars CNCO are basically experts in boy bands. We challenged them to remember the lyrics to the best songs from our favorite boy bands, like the Jonas Brothers, One Direction, *NSYNC, and more. Now I’m pretty much in love Their cover of the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. Make sure you stick around to the end to hear the most gorgeous performance of their new single “Pretend.” Now if only we could get a Jonas Brothers collab…

|Cyclops and Storm|
She was working on this picture for a long time and I asked her about it. She said, "I think it is Barack Obama, but it is weird because he doesn't have a shirt." Then she figured out a way to turn his pecs into suspenders and it all made sense. I'm not sure what the rays coming from his shoulders are. It is probably one of those artistic things that can be interpreted based on your political leanings.
I have no idea how she learned to make eyes like that.
|The Banana Princess|
These last two are Daisy's. She has been drawing a lot of "sneaker monsters" lately. If you haven't heard of sneaker monsters it is because she made them up and for no explained reason they are the only monsters that her sensitive little soul isn't afraid of. They have made appearances in all of the Valentines that she has created so far.


HILL AIR FORCE BASE — Hampered by software issues and at one point rumored to be years away from becoming operational, the gun on the F-35A is ready to fire, the Pentagon says.
Joe DellaVedova, public affairs director for the Pentagon’s F-35 Program Office, said the gun on the Air Force version of the jet fired 181 rounds from its four-barrel, 25 millimeter Gatling gun during ground tests at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. in August. Practice rounds, which do not explode on impact, were used.
The F-35 test crew hopes to complete ground testing on the gun and start testing it in the air this fall, Dellavedova said.
The successful firing tests are significant, especially considering that a software problem associated with the gun was discovered in December 2014.
The news website Daily Beast reported then that a software production delay on the General Dynamics-built gun would prohibit it from firing during combat missions until 2019, making it incapable of providing close air support for troops.
Although tests did uncover a software issue in December, the Pentagon said, the discovery was part of normal development and testing and would be resolved sometime in 2015, having no impact on the F-35’s combat timeline.
DellaVedova said the recent testing saw the gun fire at full capacity, an indication the gun would be ready to go within the next two years, as previously scheduled.
“At the end of the program’s system development and demonstration phase in 2017, the F-35 will have an operational gun,” he said.
After the tests in the fall, the gun will be tested again next year on a production-line F-35 when the jet’s full avionics system is analyzed.
According to General Dynamics, the gun weighs just 40 pounds and can fire up to 3,300 shots per minute. To reduce being picked up by enemy radar, the gun on the F-35A, called the GAU-22, is kept hidden under the plane’s left wing until the trigger is engaged.
Hill Air Force Base will be home to the first three operational F-35A squadrons and will begin receiving what will ultimately be a total of 72 jets. After the first two jets arrive, the rest of Hill’s fleet will come in on a staggered basis spread out through 2019.

Dealing with legal issues can be a distressing and overwhelming experience, and having an attorney who fails to communicate effectively can exacerbate the stress. If you find yourself in a situation where your attorney isn’t meeting your communication needs, it may be time to consider parting ways. At least twice a month we get phone calls from clients looking to fire their current attorney due to lack of communication. Below are the guidance that I give people when deciding on firing your old attorney due to lack of communication. You may think you are stuck and don’t have options, but you do. You always have the ability and right to fire your attorney for whatever reason. Below, I’ll give my insight (as a practicing attorney) as to why communication is important, signs that your attorney isn’t communicating and finally, how to fire your attorney if you choose to do so.
The Importance of Communication in Legal Representation:
Effective communication is the cornerstone of a successful attorney-client relationship. When you hire an attorney to defend you against criminal charges, you expect them to keep you informed, answer your questions, and address your concerns promptly. Here’s why communication matters:
- Understanding Your Case: Clear communication helps you understand the details of your case, the potential outcomes, and the legal strategies being employed.
- Informed Decision-Making: Timely and accurate information empowers you to make informed decisions about your defense, including whether to accept a plea deal or go to trial.
- Reducing Anxiety: Regular updates and open communication can alleviate the anxiety and uncertainty that often accompanies criminal charges.
- Trust and Confidence: Effective communication fosters trust and confidence in your attorney’s abilities and commitment to your case.
Signs That Your Attorney Isn’t Communicating:
Recognizing when your attorney is failing to communicate effectively is the first step in addressing the issue. Here are some common signs:
- Unanswered Calls and Emails: Your attorney consistently fails to respond to your calls, emails, or messages in a timely manner.
- Lack of Updates: You are not receiving regular updates on the status of your case, court dates, or developments.
- Missed Appointments: Your attorney frequently misses scheduled meetings or court appearances without explanation or notice.
- Unclear Legal Strategies: You are unsure about the legal strategies being used in your defense or the options available to you.
- Ignoring Concerns: Your attorney dismisses your concerns or questions without providing satisfactory answers.
Steps to Fire Your Attorney for Lack of Communication:
- Review Your Contract: First, review your attorney-client agreement to understand the terms and conditions for ending the relationship. Pay attention to any provisions related to termination.
- Express Your Concerns: Before taking any drastic action, communicate your concerns with your attorney. Express your dissatisfaction with their communication and give them an opportunity to address the issue.
- Seek a Meeting: Request a face-to-face meeting or a phone call to discuss your concerns in detail. This meeting can help clarify misunderstandings and provide an opportunity for improvement.
- Document Everything: Keep records of all communication attempts, including dates, times, and content of messages. These records can be valuable if you need to justify your decision later.
- Consult Another Attorney: Consult with a new attorney to discuss your case and assess whether it’s in your best interest to switch representation. Ensure you have a new attorney lined up before proceeding.
- Notify Your Old Attorney: Once you’ve made the decision to change attorneys, formally notify your current attorney in writing. Keep the notification professional and focused on the lack of communication as the reason for termination.
- Retrieve Case Files: Request copies of all case-related documents and files from your old attorney. They are legally obligated to provide you with your case materials.
- Notify the Court: Inform the court that you have terminated your attorney and have retained new counsel. Ensure that your new attorney files the necessary notices with the court. **At our law firm, we don’t require that the client notify the court-wo do this on their behalf so they don’t have to worry about it.**
- Evaluate Your New Attorney: Make sure your new attorney is responsive, communicates effectively, and meets your expectations for representation. Check for opportunities to talk to your attorney, can you easily schedule appointments with your attorney?
Firing your old attorney due to a lack of communication is a significant decision, but it’s essential to prioritize your defense and your peace of mind. Effective communication is your right as a client, and it plays a pivotal role in securing a favorable outcome in your criminal case. If you think your current attorney isn’t communicating, give our office a call at 504-434-7000. We’ll review your case and let you know how we can help you. More importantly

A move to pay a Teesside borough's first directly elected Mayor £53,000 a year is being considered.
An independent panel set up by Hartlepool Council is also recommending cutting the number of special responsibility allowances, introducing a new dependent carer's allowance to help people with children or dependent relatives carry out their role as councillors, and increasing the basic allowance paid to councillors.
Hartlepool Council will consider the panel's recommendations on February 21.
In putting forward the £53,000 a year for the elected Mayor, the panel said it had set the allowance towards the upper end of the range to reflect the responsibility attached to the position.
Its recommendations also include increasing the basic allowance paid to all 47 councillors from £4,000 to £4,500 a year "for the significant workload for many councillors".

‘Alter Boy’ Pilot Shoot Announced for October – Tivoli, New York
DALLAS, TX – Texas based production studio Common Era Films took the leap into television production earlier this week announcing the development of their first television series ‘Alter Boy’. The announcement comes shorty after production wrapped this summer for the feature documentary ‘Dig Deep – The Pathway Beyond the NFL Draft’, whose premiere date has yet to be released. Executive Producer John Strawn shared his enthusiasm for what looks to be an exciting year to come in film and television for Common Era.
John Strawn – Executive Producer
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the direction our streaming slate is taking for the upcoming year. We battled tooth and nail the first few years with development, but now everything is falling into place. It’s almost feels at time that we are destined to be here. Like the saying goes, if you build it they will come.”
Co-created by Evan Leone and Tim McArdle, Alter Boy tells the story of a young man coming into his own skin and having to face the reality of his pedigree. As he reflects on the choice he once mistakenly made he battles with the fate of his future and involvement in the family business – the most secretive white supremacist group in New York State, the BROTHERHOOD.
The Alter Boy Pilot is set in the bedrock of the Catskill Mountains in the towns of Tivoli and Kingston, New York. Tivoli is a picturesque, colonial town about two hours hours north of New York City. Audiences might remember Tivoli from the USA TV Series Eyewitness shot in 2016.
Alter boy features an explosive group of seasoned cast including Evan Leone (Feed the Beast) , Peter Reznikoff (Silence Patton), Theodore Copeland (Second Chance) and Kevin Craig West (For the Love of the Game) just to name a few. The cast is joined by a range of up comers and featured extras including Valynn Turkovich and Alex Emanuel.
THE INSIDE TRACK
- SHOOTING DATES ARE OCTOBER 12TH-OCTOBER 14TH
- EVAN LEONE BIRTHED THE NARRATIVE PARTIALLY BASED ON A CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE.
- AB BOASTS A CAST AND CREW OF 57 TEAM MEMBERS
- A FAMOUS HIP HOP RECORDING ARTIST WILL BE FEATURED IN THE PILOT.

Edit Blog Post
Published: April 12th 2018
Many people think Yangon/Rangoon is the capital of Myanmar/Burma. Well, it used to be but in 2005 the administrative capital of the country was moved to a brand new city, Nay Pyi Taw.
But for our friend Joe, who is working there at the moment, we probably wouldn't have bothered visiting. This is especially so after reading the handful of blogs that are out there where the bloggers found a deserted city devoid of much interest to the casual traveller. After spending 4 nights there, we beg to differ! It's not difficult to see where the myth of an empty city comes from as it is incredibly vast in relation to its population, and many government and military workers divide their time between work here and family elsewhere. When you stand in the middle of a 20 lane motorway and are not threatened by a single vehicle, the illusion is complete.
Nay Pyi Taw is not an easy city to negotiate as there is no public transport. You essentially have three options: rent a bike, rent a car, or take taxis. There is, of course, a fourth way and it was our good fortune to have a friend with a car. The city
is divided into various zones and the hotel zone does not appear to have any restaurants so you either have to eat in the expensive hotel restaurants or travel some way to find the cheap, delicious and popular local ones. They do exist, but finding them without local information would be quite a challenge. If you are going to seek out one place, go to Shwe Si Taw.
How anyone could just stumble across this place is beyond us, but luckily Joe knew where he was going and we feasted on a vast array of Myanmar dishes which were immediately replenished once a dish was emptied. There was an embarrassment of riches in front of us, and we have no idea what or how much we ate!
With Joe as our guide we were able to get around and see many different things which, in our opinion, make the city a worthwhile destination. We began with a tour of the city zones and marvelled at the vastness of the place and its impressive governmental buildings. Then we went way out of town to the Defence Services Museum.
This was the number one place on our list and it didn't disappoint. It is set
on an enormous 603 acre site and could well be the largest museum in the world. You'll need your passport to get in, and owing to the size of the museum, you'll need some transport to take you around too. Outside is a huge collection of aircraft. Seeing a Spitfire armed with missiles was a bit odd, and to the many young kids on a school visit the sight of foreigners in their midst was just as exciting as any old fighter jet or helicopter! Inside the museum is truly cavernous. Its corridors stretch on for ever. There are three zones and we concentrated mostly on the Air Force zone. To us it was incredibly interesting but perhaps not quite so for Joe. We gave the Army section a cursory glance and were then escorted round the Navy section by an old sailor desperate to practice his English. We were well and truly "museumed out" by the time we met him that we don't really feel we gave him the attention his enthusiasm deserved. Before leaving we had a look at the large collection of tanks and cannons on display, and of course posed for photos with the gigantic military
Next Joe took us out to a nearby village. This was the real Myanmar without a shadow of a doubt. We had a wonderful lunch overlooking the river and admiring the discipline of the people getting off their motorbikes and walking across the wooden footbridge. On the far side there were oxen cooling off in the water and several village women doing their weekly wash in the not-so-clear water. Later we crossed the bridge ourselves and had a walk around the dusty streets. We got chased by dogs in the grounds of the temple and we were wowed by the old teak houses on stilts which are still the family homes today. It was a bit bizarre to see a Stoke City shirt hanging up on one washing line!
The next day we had the opportunity to visit Myanmar's parliament. We know that Joe had jumped through a good number of hoops to arrange this and we really appreciate that. In theory a tour agency would be able to make similar arrangements but we can't imagine it would be easy or quick. Wherever we went we had quite an entourage accompanying us. At one stage we
worked out from the answers to some of our questions that a whole 10% of the workforce were following our every move! We saw various chambers where matters are debated and voted on, a display of every type of wood from around Myanmar, an incredible art collection, and examples of every traditional costume that the different peoples of the country wear. Indeed, as the politicians left the chamber, some were wearing their regional dress. The exception to the regional representatives are the green clad military who still make up more than 25% of the political landscape and wield most of the power. We got to see the lower and the upper houses and if you ever get the chance, go for a tour. Quite what this set-up cost to build we can not imagine, but it seems somewhat out of place considering the lack of infrastructure and development we have seen elsewhere - but that's another story!
No city in Myanmar would be complete without a giant pagoda. The one in Nay Pyi Taw is massive and stands on a hill overlooking the surrounding area. It is so high that there are lifts to get to its base, but
we walked up the gleaming marble steps instead. It is a copy of the famous Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon but a little shorter, and the general public have access to its interior. The marble carvings inside are amazing. At the foot of the hill is a fish pond where hungry mouths wait to be fed. They thrash around in the water as soon as footsteps are heard on the bridge which makes it a bit weird. The fish then swim over towards you regardless of whether you come with treats for them or not. Strange.
In the evenings many people go to Fountain Park. As its name suggests there are a number of fountains, and waterfalls too, set in a park which spreads out before you. Lights and music are used to provide extra ambience as darkness falls. Yet again it seemed a bit on the odd side, but a nice addition to everything else that we saw.
So that was our experience of Nay Pyi Taw. It is a showpiece for the country and a most bizarre place to visit, but worthwhile nonetheless as long as you have a way of getting around. There's plenty we didn't
do too, such as the National Museum, the Gems Museum, and doubtless many more hidden treasures if you stay longer.

Simple tattoo drawings for girls in Playa Vista, California
Tattoo design lovers might describe designs as "ink", "parts", "skin art", "tattoo art", "tats", or "job"; to the creators as "tattoo design musicians", "tattooers", or "tattooists"; and also to locations where they operate as "tattoo design outlets", "design studios", or "design parlors".
Original tattoo ideas for men.Tatts could seem really cool, offered a ton of thought has entered into picking your layout, as well as derived clearly on the understanding that this is actually an irreversible branding on your body system.
Along with a little bit of study on the design, some planning and also a good, skilled design musician, the result of this particular sort of tattoo design must be absolutely nothing short of a stunning, untamed and vibrant masterpiece.
Conventional tattoos are actually normally detailed in black, and after that completed through dark shading or various other different colors combined with dark ink.
Think me, There are actually bunches of tattoo designs in this particular planet and also students would find simply one best tattoo design for you.
If students love the concept, don't be actually hesitant to get a tattoo design that doesn't possess a deep-seated definition.
Now there are actually a ton of popular tattoo performers as well as a great deal of sophisticated, exquisite and also alluring concepts out there certainly. Amazing tattoos will influence you to acquire your very own ink carried out just learn more about the developers as well as the accounts about them.
Beautiful tattoo ideas for women.
Old as well as historical tattoos will never go out of type in designs world.
For design abusers, full back designs are commonly their tastes while lesser back designs are frequently really loved by attractive and attractive females.
One of the most usual strategy from tattooing in present day times is the electrical design device, which inserts ink in to the skin layer via a single needle or even a group of needles that are actually soldered over a bar, which is actually affixed to an oscillating unit.
Whether they are actually inking a design students have actually given them, deciphering your quick in their personal method or cooking food students up something completely off scrape, they are actually knowned as design performers for a reason.
Tattoo design designs could be integrated right into a customized piece that will certainly be enjoyed for a life time.
If students are actually obtaining a tattoo since students are actually intoxicated or high, rebellious or your good friends are actually proding students, then students're acquiring a tattoo design for all the wrong factors as well as the choice students make is actually very likely to mirror this inadequate from planning.
Tribal tattoo designs come in several different kinds, like butterflies, the sunlight, the moon, shoulders, claws, celebrity designs as well as a ton of theoretical art.
These 3 tattoos are amongst one of the most prominent tattoo tips for men.
The Eastern term irezumi means "insertion of ink" and can easily imply tattoo designs utilizing tebori, the standard Oriental palm strategy, a Western-style equipment, or for that issue, any type of technique of tattooing utilizing installation from ink.
For a tattoo design the other individuals are heading to just like, the photograph girl can't be defeated; and also if this shuts down the women, then students will not waste your time along with all of them, because ladies just who like it are the ones students desire in any case. Some people send their own designs or even ask the tattoo artists to create something that they maintain dreaming approximately.
The best crucial point is that the tattoo design performer is experienced, especially in carrying out freehand job without a lot of details and also suggestions.
Some tribe cultures traditionally developed designs by cutting layouts into the skin layer and also rubbing the resulting cut within ink, ashes or various other agents; some societies continue this technique, which might be a complement to scarification.
Whether you choose a custom-made designed design or will instead play it safe with a typical item, it helps to have ideas just before making any sort of irreversible spot on your body.
Men today who are actually receiving this design of tattooing are actually projecting not simply amazing, but also challenging and also an also a little demoralizing, along with their boldly dark and also wickedly bending abstract layouts.
Whilst commonly individuals will connect up all the designs on their arms in to even more from a sleeve concept, that is turning into significantly well-known in order to get tons of smaller designs up your arms that are not essentially connected by everything.
Occasionally a lot less is even more along with tattoo designs as well as students merely have to have a design similar to this to possess that wonderful and also alternative appeal that a bunch of women as well as fellas are actually going with at presents.

Malaika Arora wants to divorce Arbaaz Khan?
Malaika Arora Khan poses with husband Arbaaz Khan
Arbaaz recently made a statement saying he is "possessive" about his wife and is "afraid" of losing her.
According to reports, Malaika Arora Khan has filed for divorce with her husband Arbaaz Khan. Arbaaz has been married to Malaika for the past 17 years and has been in the midst of rumours of a split.
Indian tabloid Mumbai Mirror has reported that Malaika has ignored repeated attempts by her brother-in-law Salman Khan to patch things up. According to rumors, she is also upset with the fact that Arbaaz doesn't support her financially when it comes to their son's education.
Mirror also reports that Malaika had walked out of their Bandra home with their 14-year-old son, Arhaan, three months ago and rented an apartment in Khar.
Arbaaz recently made a statement saying he is "possessive" about his wife and is "afraid" of losing her. Arbaaz also said he was not very possessive about Malaika earlier, but that has changed over time.
"It happens. When you achieve something or someone, you don't want to lose the person. I love Malaika but I'm possessive about her," Arbaaz said on the TV show Yaar Mera Superstar, where he was accompanied by Malaika. "It wasn't like this when she was younger or I was more new into the relationship, but it has happened now. She is very precious and dear to me. I love her more than anything else in the world. I'm afraid of losing her now," he added.
Rumours of their split started surfacing when they signed up as hosts for the Indian reality TV show, Power Couple but filmed together only three episodes.
Don't ask me about Malaika-Arbaaz split reports: Salim Khan
As divorce rumours continue to swirl around Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora, the actor-producer's father and noted scriptwriter Salim Khan on Saturday refused to comment on their relationship, saying he doesn't interfere in the personal lives of his children.
Over the last few months, the star couple has been subject of fevered speculation about their marriage. Malaika and Arbaaz have not addressed the topic publicly.
"I am a writer... don't ask me about anyone's love affair or break-up reports. I never interfere in the life of my kids. I don't want to talk about it," Salim told PTI.
Malaika's mother Joyce Polycarp, too, isn't willing to speak on the issue. "They are two grown up adults ...it is there business. I don't want to get into it. I don't want to talk to press," she said when reached for comments about divorce reports.
Rumours of a split between Malaika and Arbaaz, who have been married for 18 years, started emerging from the time the couple stopped coming to gether on a popular reality show, "Power Couple". Only Arbaaz was shooting for the show while Malaika came only in the end.
Malaika and Arbaaz have a 13-year-old son Arhaan

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) -- The soldier on trial for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood has rested his case without calling any witnesses.
Maj. Nidal Hasan is representing himself but told the judge Wednesday that he wouldn't be calling any witnesses in his defense.
Hasan has sat mostly silent during the trial's first two weeks, raising few objections and briefly questioning only three of prosecutors' nearly 90 witnesses.

During his brief opening statement, he said evidence would show he was the shooter, and he said he'd "switched sides."
The American-born Muslim suggested before trial that he wanted to argue the killings were in defense of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. A judge rejected that strategy.
Hasan is accused of killing 13 people at the Texas military base. He faces the death penalty if convicted.

What do you get if you take llamas, dwarves, fire crackers and a Melbourne suburban street (when you don’t have a permit)? You get a cracking (no pun intended) video from an awesome band and a director who did the recent stop start clay animation on Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ video.
We’ve had this video on our website front page for a little while now and we thought it about time we got an article up on the guys from Music Sound Dance and on the daring director of the video, Darcy Prendergast.
First things first, let’s talk about Darcy Prendergast from Oh Yeah Wow who directed the video. Oh Yeah Wow did the clay animations for Gotye’s current video and are currently half way through building the set for their new clip with Gotye, which should be out soon (we’ll keep you posted on the release of that one).
This latest music video clip for Music Sound Dance is a manic 3 minute video for the Sydney band Music Sound Dance. Hard to believe, but it only took 2 takes to shoot and it was all done without any permissions or permits what so ever. The track is extremely catchy and really reminds me (in a good way) of the cheeky tracks by OK Go and if you’re from the UK and familiar with The Wonderstuff early tracks, it is very much like that too.
We had a bit of a QandA session with Shane Sponberg from the band and the video director Darcy Prendergast from Oh Yeah Wow:
With the Shane Sponberg from the band Music Sound Dance….
How long have Music Sound Dance been going?
We have been together about 18 months.
How many in the band and are they all from Sydney?
There are 4 of us, but when we play live there are 7 & we all live in Sydney.
Is there an EP due out?
The EP is called ‘MUSIC’ & out Wednesday the 27th of July.
Have you been playing any gigs locally or across Australia yet?
Our first gig was at the Sandringham Hotel in Newtown & was a showcase gig for our EP release.
With the Darcy Prendergast from Oh Yeah Wow….
What inspired you to do the video shoot?
Well the majority of work we do here at Oh Yeah Wow is animation based- labourious, time consuming and slow to create. We’d just come of the back of a long stint of clay animation stuff and decided we needed to have some fun. I sat the crew down and asked them what has your mum never let you do? The concept stemmed from our own desire to unleash a little. This clip is what happens when animators are locked up for too long…
How did you manage to run off into the distance with dwarves and llamas in tow?
It might not look like it, but the whole thing was meticulously planned- well at least in terms of roles, starting positions and escape plans. The rest was left to fate. As soon as the llamas were done, the owner walked them into their float and drove home. The little fellas… Well, they just had to run as fast as they could.
They say you should never work with children or animals in video, were the llamas easy to shoot?
They say to never work with children or animals due to their uncontrollable nature. By comparision, the Llamas and the one young boy we had in the clip were angelic. We embraced the frenzied spirit of the mob of the clip and decided to simply capture whatever happened to unfold on the day. In the end we didn’t have enough cameras to catch it all. One of the crew had his hair shaved off midway through the clip- and no one even caught it on film! Just so much going on.
Was there any bare back llama riding after filming down the streets?
Ha! Believe me, I’d be first in line if it were feasible. Llamas can only carry a quarter of their body weight apparently, which I think only made the dwarves and young boy contenders.
Did the police or the local council catch up with you after shooting or did you manage to disappear into the night?
We managed to make the first flight to Mexico straight after the sho… no. Thats a lie. Yes, Ha! The local authorities did catch up with us, rocking up right as the 2,500 firecrackers finished. Hardly inconspicuous. I was expecting to spend a few nights in jail- my producer had already promised to post my bail. But when they asked who is in charge, Dave the lead singer of the band stepped up and told them exactly what had happened with a few omissions. The police officers, standing ankle deep in confetti and streamers replied with “wish we were a few minutes earlier, missed one hell of a party”
Do yourself a favour and check out the talents of Music Sound Dance (link below) as this song is awesome (it’s got The Hottest 100 DVD written all over it) and whilst you’re at it, you should also check out the other amazing works of Oh Yeah Wow and Darcy Prendergast.
And boys….let us know when you’re down in Melbourne and we’ll definitely be there at the gig.

Mark Spoonauer has put together a review for LAPTOP Magazine of the fairly recent Asus UL20FT-A1 from ASUSTek. It’s a 12.1-inch ultraportable laptop with a 720p display – 1366×768 LED backlit display, and it does come with an HDMI port.
While it lacks an internal optical drive and is very lightweight, it’s not quite a netbook. It’s got some influences that you might be able to trace to netbooks, but it’s powered by an Intel Core i3-330UM running at 1.2GHz, which puts it into the class of small laptops/ultraportables. It’s not quite a full CULV – it’s more of a low-voltage CPU. It outperformed the Asus Eee PC 1215N by quite a bit, and while it may not seem fair to compare it to an Atom-powered netbook, the 1215N is sporting a dual-core clocked at a much higher speed, and it’s within $130 or so of the UL20FT-A1’s price of $629. It was also compared to the Toshiba T215D (AMD Athlon II Neo) , the ThinkPad X100e (also an AMD CPU), and the more expensive Acer Aspire 1830t.
The review mentions that when it comes to graphics performance, the 1215N does easily beat the UL20FT, in some cases doubling its score, and in the end they would consider the 1215N over the UL20FT.

Virtual Event: Hospital Workers’ Wellbeing Matters
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a major toll on people’s wellbeing worldwide, as they are having to face challenges such as social distancing, loneliness, and the threat of deadly infectious disease outbreaks. For hospital workers and other health service providers, these challenges and the additional stress of working in a prolonged “crisis situation” have increased documented mental health problems.
As the pandemic progresses, the current and projected scale of distress among healthcare workers is alarming. It is widely recognized that healthcare professionals need enhanced support to help mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their current and future wellbeing.
The International Hospital Federation (IHF) and the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua) recognize the pivotal need of exchanges of experiences, ideas and challenges of industry leaders in addressing this which is why they are hosting the virtual conference “Hospital Workers’ Wellbeing Matters“ on 23 February 2021. The event will delve into:
- Global perspective on hospital and health system employee wellbeing;

We have extensively covered the risks brought on by higher interest rates against certain sectors of the stock market. The sector of mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs), with its high dividend yields, has severe exposure to rising interest rates. Oppenheimer’s research team has issued a report that dissected the mortgage REITs and gave some good data for examining which of these fallen angels actually might be stocks to buy for yield-hungry investors. For those who fear asset purchase tapering from Ben Bernanke, those high dividends likely will come under more scrutiny.
Oppenheimer’s research report included price performance and total returns, dividend yields, capital actions, industry fundamentals, current trading valuations and company-specific data. The key takeaway is that book values on average are declining again in the second quarter, following the drop in value of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), but that the return potential (dividends) has improved somewhat with spreads widening.
While Oppenheimer as a firm only covers two mortgage REITs, they did a comprehensive look at all the names in the space. We screened those names for the highest book-value-to-price and then factored in current yield. Investors should remember that dividends from mortgage REITs may include return of principal.

Armour Residential REIT (NYSE: ARR) trades at the highest discount to its book value. In the first quarter 2013, it had estimated taxable income of approximately $86.0 million. This represented a 13.8% annualized yield on first quarter 2013 weighted average paid-in-capital. The book value of the stock is $6.72. Armour is trading today close to the $5 level. The Thomson/First Call estimate for the stock is $7. Investors receive a 16.35% dividend paid monthly.
Anworth Mortgage Asset Corp. (NYSE: ANH) is paying $0.15 in dividends per share quarterly, while it earns $0.21 per share. Although dividends are paid out from cash, it seems the company’s earnings are sufficient to cover the prevailing dividend rate. Currently its dividend cover ratio comes out to be 1.4 times. The book value for the stock is $7.05, and the shares are trading around $5.50. The consensus price target for the stock is $6.75. Investors receive a 10.82% dividend.
CYS Investments Financial Corp. (NYSE: CYS) has made a smart move by focusing on 15-year fixed rate securities. These securities are not immune to prepayment risk, but have much lower risk in comparison to 30-year fixed rate notes. Book value for the stock is $12.87, and today it is trading in the $10.46 range. The consensus price target is at $13. Investors are paid a 12.20% dividend.
American Capital Mortgage Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: MTGE) has had solid insider buying dating back to last December. Book value for the stock is $24.25, and it trades today in the $20.71 range. The consensus for the stock is $26.75. Investors receive a 17.40% dividend.
Capstead Mortgage Corp. (NYSE: CMO) gross profit margin is currently very high, coming in at 94.80%. The net profit margin of 59.57% significantly outperformed the industry average. The book value stands at $13.60, while the stock is trading at the $11.75 level. The consensus price objective for the stock is $14. Investors are paid a 10.52% dividend.
Apollo Residential Mortgage Inc. (NYSE: AMTG) is already an experienced hybrid mortgage REIT, which seems to be the more stable model for the eventual rising interest rate market. The book value is $21.72. The stock is trading in the $18.42 range. The consensus price target is $24. Investors are paid a 15.21% dividend.
The bond market is an anticipatory vehicle. Rates have spiked in the past week on the mere mention of the tapering off of the Federal Reserve’s aggressive bond-buying program known as quantitative easing (QE). While rates are destined to go higher, many of these mortgage REITs are hedged for that eventuality. It is very possible that hedge funds may be shorting these names as a quick momentum play. The quality names could snap back fast, as all these stocks are very oversold.

There's a wide chasm between those who write regulations and the humans expected to abide by them. Real people don't have the capacity or time to understand, much less comply with, scores of regulations. This is a reason why regulation so often is counterproductive. People preoccupied with rule compliance no longer act sensibly. Focus on A, as sociologist Robert K. Merton put it, and you cannot see B.
Health care delivery in America has been suffocated by bureaucracy. How this affects the daily choices of physicians is described by Victoria McEvoy from Harvard Medical School in today's Wall Street Journal. Regulations presume to guarantee proper care by forcing doctors to go down checklists of every possible treatment associated with, say, an obese child. The problem, of course, is that all this time checking boxes "takes precious time away from doctor-patient communication. Not one of my patients has lost a pound from my box checking."
Like marionettes in a dystopic puppet show, all day long physicians are jerked away from sensible patient care by regulatory mandates written without any concern for human bandwidth. But doctors aren't computers. Sometimes the box needs to be checked -- did the surgeon double-check all requirements? -- but most regulatory requirements are in service of a form of central planning, as often requiring useless activities as those that make sense.
Follow all these rules, regulators think, and health care will be perfect. But regulations can't honor the complexity of the actual patient situation that the doctor is facing. So, when "one metric is off," regulations compel doctors to take certain actions, even where those actions make no sense.
The fee-for-service reimbursement bureaucracy multiplies the box-checking and skewing of sensible judgment (doctors spend 30 percent of their time on paperwork). Regulatory overload in health care causes various forms of failure -- unnecessary cost, grotesque inefficiency, corrosion of professional judgment, and a palpable degradation of professional spirit.
Then pile on top of this the ability of any sick person to bring a lawsuit against a doctor in almost any amount, without any reliable decision maker, and -- voila -- you have the world's most expensive health care system, by almost a factor of two, and perhaps the most dispirited medical professionals in the developed world.
The solution is not getting rid of regulatory oversight, but re-humanizing it. Box checking should be restricted to high-risk activities. Ideas for dealing with this or that disease should be placed in a reference manual as guides, not as a mandatory compliance regime. Accountability should be determined after the fact, by periodic reviews based on the judgment of professionals who understand the complexities, not by rigid metrics.
The quest for regulatory perfection, like the quest for legal certainty, does not avoid failure, but causes failure.

For Immediate Release: February 6, 2019
Contact: Ryan Hite, Communications Director
St. Louis, MO: This morning the House State Affairs committee of the South Dakota Legislature defeated H.J.R. 1005, an application for an Article V Constitutional Convention. Less than two weeks after its first reading, legendary Eagle leader Kitty Werthmann and her amazing, hard-working volunteers defeated the bill today in committee vote.
“This is a great victory to start the 2019 state legislative sessions,” said Ed Martin, president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. “Phyllis Schlafly knew and spent many years convincing people that a Constitutional Convention – or Convention of States as its modern proponents call it – is a horrible idea that would open our Constitution to untold dangers in our modern era of political and moral confusion.
“Phyllis Schlafly Eagles under the guidance of our long-time leaders like Kitty Werthmann and also Andy Schlafly have spearheaded this issue across the country and defeated this in many states. We are so proud of their work. Andy is quick to remind us that in 2018, we defeated Constitutional Convention proposals in 19 states and did not see passage in even one! Thanks to the leadership of Kitty Werthmann and our many volunteer leaders and activists we are on our way to another excellent legislative record.”
