Series Review: The Mara Dyer Trilogy by Michelle Hodkin
I had been meaning to read the Mara Dyer trilogy forever! I had heard so many things about the series, how crazy it was, and how it messes with your head so I was incredibly excited to finally start! I even avoided an event at my local bookstore when Michelle Hodkin was in town because I hadn't read the books yet and I didn't want to encounter any spoilers.
We read THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER together for our On the Same Page read in January and I knew I wanted to binge-read these series to A) finally complete it and B) because I had hoped I just couldn't put it down!
Each book is reviewed individually and then I have some overall feelings on the series, all spoiler-free!

Mara Dyer believes life can't get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.
She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her strangely unharmed.
There is.
She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love.
She's wrong.
I was SUPER excited to finally start this series! THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER kicked off with a bang (maybe quite literally) and really hits the ground running! I was immediately intrigued and was hoping for some super twisty things to happen!
The middle of the book dragged for me just a little bit. When books kick off with such a big start and then the pacing slows, I tend to have trouble staying hooked unless more crazy and/or twisty things continue to happen. There was a lot of necessary set-up of Mara's new life in Florida and how she meets Noah Shaw/comes to fall for him but there were so many THINGS I couldn't wait to find out that it did slow down for me just a tad!
There was SO much hype about how much this book/series messes with readers' heads that I just really wanted so much more of that throughout the book. There were a lot of things that happened but there was very little explanation in this book. I knew (well, hoped) that it would be explained in later books but I do get frustrated when more questions appear than answers. I feel like in order to keep readers hooked, you need them to feel like they got something and aren't left feeling so confused or in the dark. It's also more exciting to actually get some answers and then be able to ponder what that means for the rest of the series!
The ending did get super twisty and I totally raced to finish the book! Thank goodness I already knew I was binge-reading the series because I would have had to after that ending!
Title: The Evolution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #2) by Michelle Hodkin
Publishing Info: October 23, 2012 by Simon & Schuster

The truth about Mara Dyer's dangerous and mysterious abilities continues to unravel in the New York Times bestselling sequel to the thrilling The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Mara Dyer once believed she could run from her past.She can't. She used to think her problems were all in her head. They aren't. She couldn't imagine that after everything she's been through, the boy she loves would still be keeping secrets. She's wrong. In this gripping sequel to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, the truth evolves and choices prove deadly. What will become of Mara Dyer next?
WELL, EVOLUTION certain amped up the mind games quite a bit! Of course you always want to believe the protagonist (Mara) but it's a case of, is this really an unreliable narrator or is she actually experiencing the truth and no one believes her? It was so much fun to really play around with those ideas and never quite know what was going on! Things started to get absolutely bananas towards the end and I was literally shivering and shouting and afraid of things that go bump in the night because I was getting so freaked out (in a good way).
I really felt like things picked up throughout EVOLUTION and carried on with a steady pace. The reader finds out a lot more of what is happening to Mara and a little bit more as to why. This was definitely my favorite book of the series but things got super twisty and I was totally riveted from about the middle of the book until the end!
I was actually a little bit disappointed by the ending, though. I'm not sure if I had hoped for more mystery? There are some answers to whether we trust Mara or throw her into the loony bin and I wasn't a huge fan of how the answers played out. I think it felt a bit strange, maybe a bit too hard to believe? Which is saying a lot considering what we've learned about what Mara can do and I've fully accepted that!
I also was a bit disappointed that more questions got added and there were STILL things I had no answers for. I always hope that book two answers some to most of the questions set up in book one and I was left wondering what the hell is going on with some of these things.
Title: The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #3) by Michelle Hodkin
Publishing Info: November 4, 2014 by Simon & Schuster
Mara Dyer wants to believe there's more to the lies she's been told.
She doesn't stop to think about where her quest for the truth might lead.
She should.
She never had to imagine how far she would go for vengeance.
She will now.
Loyalties are betrayed, guilt and innocence tangle, and fate and chance collide in this shocking conclusion to Mara Dyer's story.
Retribution has arrived.
RETRIBUTION was a very weird case for me in that the entire book was actually a bit lacking for me but the ending was so clever and very fun! It actually left me on a good note with the series which was nice because I was kind of frustrated with the overall feel of this book, especially as a series conclusion. It sort of felt like it should have been the "sophomore slump" you so often see in trilogies except this happened in the last book instead. Very strange!
RETRIBUTION was the least mysterious/suspenseful for me. There was a lot of action and some straight up "I can't believe he/she just did that" moments but it felt more like shock value than actual suspense. I was totally bummed that I didn't have as many "omg" or "wtf" moments as I had in the first two books. Book two was just out of control with crazy moments and RETRIBUTION kind of took a turn…
There was a lot going on in this book but things started to feel way more far-fetched. I mean, we're dealing with possible paranormal, possible sci-fi, possible mind-messing, but things started to really stray here, I think. Without spoiling anything, I will note that there seemed to be a major character shift which really threw me off. There are new characters who gain more spotlight and other characters who end up moving to the back-burner or are completely (physically) absent for large chunks of the book. It kind of screwed up the dynamic for me and just plain felt odd to do in the last book when relationships are solidifying and answers are finally happening.
I was also not impressed with the new settings and scenery change. Again, it felt like the "sophomore slump" since that so often happens to me in book two even though this was the last book in the trilogy. I just really didn't like the turn the book took and I felt like an inordinate amount of time was spent in this new setting with this new concept. I really felt like things could have been wrapped up quicker — or just differently all together — and the story could have continued with more suspense or crazy answers.
When it comes down to it, RETRIBUTION did provide a lot of big questions for me. My issue was that I wasn't a big fan of how those answers came to be. I did like what the answers were but I wished things had played out a little differently to get there. Some scenes felt unnecessary and overdone when something simpler could have happened. It was paranormal, it was science, and yet it was neither. I was sadly not super impressed with the conclusion to the series but I was left on a high note with the very ending of the book itself. I wished parts in the beginning of RETRIBUTION had been more condensed and maybe played out a little differently. Overall, the series was fun but felt a little too dramatic to me when it could have been more suspenseful. The suspense and mystery was absolutely GREAT but I wanted so much more of it in the last book.
SERIES THOUGHTS
Mara Dyer was a lot of fun and really did keep me on the edge of my seat! I'm glad I ended up reading all of these back-to-back-to-back because I would have lost a lot of details if I had waited. The second book was definitely the most thrilling and twisty for me and I really wish the third book had continued on that pace. It was definitely a bit crazy but it also started to become a bit too wild for me in the sense that I wasn't quite believing it anymore. I kind of felt like Michelle Hodkin was trying to combine too many things all into one series. There are some series (The Raven Cycle comes to mind) where the books blur the lines between genres and you don't end up falling into any one specific category. I feel like that's what Mara Dyer should have been for me and it almost was, but things started to fall apart once the answers started coming into play. The answers to the mysteries did resolve things but I wasn't a big fan of how we got there.
The romance was definitely a lot of fun and I loved the balance between Mara and Noah! They played off of each other nicely and their opposition really made them a good pair! I wasn't wholly sold on the romance the way some readers are. There was definitely chemistry there and I don't know if it was because I was listening to the audiobook but I could have used a bit more development of the feelings before the whole falling in love thing. BUT I do get it in the long run!
I absolutely loved the humor in these books. Lots of sarcasm, quips, banter, and jokes based on pop culture. I love how every day humor really brings characters alive and Michelle Hodkin did an amazing job with that! Although I wasn't totally satisfied with some of the plot developments, I think Michelle Hodkin does an amazing job at character development. I feel like I got a really good sense of who everyone was and Michelle Hodkin really let each personality shine!
Overall, I was hoping for a bit more suspense and mind-messing! Each book definitely had its moments but it didn't quite seem consistent throughout the series. I also really enjoyed how thing wrapped up but I wasn't a big fan of how book three got there. It was a solid series, though, and I definitely want to pick up the Noah POV that's coming out in 2017! I actually feel like I have the potential to enjoy it more than this one… I'm pretty excited for it!
Have you read the Mara Dyer trilogy? Which book was your favorite? Are you planning to read the Noah POV in 2017!?
Addiction Rating
Read them!
I did enjoy this series as a whole. The great thing was that once I was done with one book, I immediately wanted the next — thank goodness I started this series after they were all out!! I wasn't totally impressed but I did like the ease of reading and how quickly I was sucked in. I definitely enjoyed this world and want more!

Fortnight of Fright 2014: Book Review – The Evolution of Mara Dyer (Sajda from Across the Words)
Welcome to our third annual FORTNIGHT OF FRIGHT event!
October 17th – October 31st, 2013
Two years ago, Alyssa (Books Take You Places) and I really bonded over our mutual love of Halloween and came up with the idea for A FORTNIGHT OF FRIGHT: a two-week long event celebrating everything Halloween and horror-related! We decided to bring it back again for the third annual Fortnight of Fright event, this time along with Amy (Tripping Over Books), so this event is brought to you by all of the gals from On the Same Page!
Today, Sajda from Across the Words is reviewing THE EVOLUTION OF MARA DYER! Check out her review below!

Mara Dyer once believed she could run from her past.
She can't.
She used to think her problems were all in her head.
They aren't.
She couldn't imagine that after everything she's been through, the boy she loves would still be keeping secrets.
She's wrong.
In this gripping sequel to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, the truth evolves and choices prove deadly. What will become of Mara Dyer next?
I'm super excited to be reviewing The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin for Fortnight of Fright. This was one of those books that seriously crept me out when I first read it and so, I think it's absolutely perfect as a Halloween read. If you have not read the first book in this series, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, this review may contain a few spoilers – consider yourself forewarned!
The Evolution of Mara Dyer is an incredibly gripping and captivating sequel. The first book ends with a crazy plot twist and we find out that Jude is not actually dead. We also discover that crazy supernatural things are happening to both Mara and Noah. In this second book, Mara basically continues to lose her mind. She really wants to lead a life as a normal girl but given her deadly powers and hallucinations, it's difficult for her to mask what's actually happening to her. Also, she finds it very hard to trust anyone and to get people to believe her story. I truly felt terrible for Mara; she undergoes so many struggles and everyone pretty much doubts her sanity.
The one person that Mara can count on is the immensely electrifying and swoon-worthy Noah Shaw. I absolutely love Noah as a character and I was so glad to see more of him in this sequel. He becomes an even more complex and mysterious character, which I thought just added to his attractiveness. The relationship between Mara and Noah definitely intensifies in this book but their love for each other is also tested after numerous challenges arise.
Michelle Hodkin is quite spectacular at creating very chilling and haunting scenes. She includes some terrifying moments involving stalkers, creepy dolls, and psycho asylum patients. Despite the frightening nature of the book, Hodkin is also pretty great at offering much-needed comic relief (I love the banter between Jaime and Mara – they're so witty together).
In this second book, we receive some answers but are also left with a ton of questions. Everything is incredibly mysterious and you'll be left trying to figure out what could possibly be behind all of the disturbing occurrences Mara has to face. This book ends with a massive cliff-hanger; I'm so happy that I didn't get around to reading it until this month because I have no idea how people lived with that ending for over two years! The ending is incredibly surprising and will pretty much leave you in agony.
If you haven't read this book yet, you're in luck because the third and last book in this series, The Retribution of Mara Dyer, is coming out on November 4 so there isn't too long to wait! I was actually able to snag a copy of the third book early and just read it last week; it is absolutely chilling and I physically shuddered while reading some parts. If you're looking for a mind-blowing and haunting paranormal series, this is definitely one that you will want to read!
Thanks, Sajda! I can't wait to read this series. I've heard so many good things about it and I'm going in as blind as possible! Now I just need to pick these books up!

Officials with Medcenter One, based in Bismarck-Mandan, N.D., and Sanford Health announced Monday that they have signed a letter of intent and memorandum of understanding and will continue working on a possible merger. Both agreements are non-binding…A deal such as the Sanford-Medcenter One merger is a trend that likely will continue, said Michael Myers, a professor of health care law and policy at the University of South Dakota School of Law…It would be the biggest merger for Sanford since it combined with Fargo-based Meritcare in 2009…But Myers, a former administrator for St. Marys Hospital at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, is troubled by the trend. These types of mergers continue to go unchallenged, while physicians are reaping economic incentives gained through ordering more tests and procedures, he said.


GrowthLine is designed to be a flexible means of borrowing for your business.
You will only be charged based on what you borrow: we don't expect you to pay setup or exit fees. To better understand the costs of your facility, we have split charges into two categories: interest charges and service fees.
Many borrowers will pay Interest at different times through a typical month. Interest is paid each time you repay all or part of a loan, and Interest is also paid if/when your loans roll over on the marketplace. Each month, on your nominated collection date (set up when opening your account), we will collect a minimum monthly repayment via Direct Debit.
We charge a service fee each month for businesses borrowing with GrowthLine. This fee will be 0.4% of the peak balance on your account within the prior month, plus VAT. If the balance on your account was £0 throughout the prior month, no service fee will be due for that month.
Let's imagine that at the beginning of March you had a balance of £0. You then borrowed £100,000 on the 6th March and repaid £40,000 on the 28th of March. Your peak balance during March would be £100,000, and your service fee for March would then be £400 plus VAT.
If then on the 9th of April you repaid your balance in full and did not borrow any more money, your peak balance in April would be £60,000, and your fee for April would then be £240 plus VAT.

Home Oil Cost of Nigeria's subsidy higher than benefits – World Bank
Cost of Nigeria's subsidy higher than benefits – World Bank
on: December 09, 2015 In: Oil
o9 December 2015, News Wires – The World Bank Group says the costs of maintaining the Nigeria's fuel subsidy is higher than the benefits.
It noted that the fiscal cost of the subsidy to the country was $35 billion from 2011-2014 and is expected to cost another 18 per cent of total oil revenues accrued to the country, equivalent to 25 per cent of federal budget in 2015.
The World bank, however, said that its duty was to offer advise to Nigerian authorities and not to decide for it what to do with the subsidy policy.
In its latest Nigeria Economic Report released Tuesday in Abuja, the Bank said the oil revenue and the fuel subsidy has been very controversy subject in Nigeria for a very long time and that the controversy have increased in the light of the budgetary crisis, which has raised critical questions as to the sustainability of the subsidy.
Presenting the report, a lead economist, Mr. John Litwack, said Nigeria's fuel subsidies are currently regretted by larger households, who ought to benefits from it but pay higher to get each of the products.

Fishing is one of the most followed hobbies around the World. Waiting patiently for your catch to show up and then taking your trophy back home has a thrill of its own. If you are looking some really good places to go fishing in Karnataka, then you are definitely in for a treat.
Located just 20 KM's away from Bengaluru, the Jakkur Lake is an apt place to hone your fishing skills. Once heavily polluted, the lake has now been successfully restored to its former glory and is a part of the integrated wetland system. The place is a renowned fish lovers spot thanks to a healthy population of fish here. Fishermen haul up-to 500 Kg's per day during peak season, making it a haven for fishing.
If you want to enjoy an authentic fishing experience away from the hustle, bustle and pollution of the city then Ayyanakere Lake is the place to be. This second largest man-made lake in Karnataka is located amidst pristine mountains and plantations and is the perfect place to carry out recreational activities such as camping and fishing. Enjoy the beautiful sunrise while waiting to score a catch – sounds like a plan.
A biodiversity hotspot in the heart of Karnataka, Kabini is also a great spot for fishing. There are various resorts in Kabini such as Discovery Village which make a great place to stay, especially if you want an authentic beach resort. The resorts here will also guide you to the best fishing spots and help you in reaching there. The best way to fish in Kabini is to hire a Coracle and ride to a place which has a high density of fishes.
A forest island spread over an area of 64 acres in the Kaveri River, Nisargadhama is a famous tourist attraction in the Kodagu district of Karnataka. This island can be accessed via a hanging rope bridge and has cottages on stilts where you can stay and plan for a fishing expedition in the waters that have a dense population of these aquatic animals. In addition to fishing, travellers can also explore the beautiful island that is rich in flora and fauna.
Predominantly a famous elephant camp, Dubare is a jungle retreat that hosts close to 150 elephants who are taken care of by the Karnataka forest department. In addition to the mammoth mammals and some picturesque surroundings, the tranquil waters of Dubare are a great spot for fishing too. If you are looking to spend some quality time relaxing amidst nature, then Dubare is a great place to unwind.
Rapid urbanisation and dwindling water bodies have had their adverse impact on fishing. Thankfully, these places have remained more or less untouched and elusive from human activities making them great places to try your hand at fishing.

Parkinson's Disease Solutions with Acupuncture / Acupressure
"Acupuncture has increasingly been used as an alternative therapy for treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the efficacy of acupunture for PD still remains unclear. The present study was designed to objectively and safely monitor anti-parkinsonian effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and brain activity in nonhuman primates modeling human PD. Six middle-aged rhesus monkeys were extensively studied by a computerized behavioral testing battery and by pharmacological MRI (phMRI) scans with specific dopaminergic drug stimulations. All animals were evaluated for behavior and phMRI responses under normal, parkinsonian, parkinsonian with EA treatment and parkinsonian after EA treatment conditions. Stable parkinsonian features were observed in all animals prior to entering the EA study and positive responses to levodopa (L-dopa) challenge were also seen in all animals. The results demonstrated that chronic EA treatments could significantly improve the movement speed and the fine motor performance time during the period of EA treatments, and the effectiveness of EA could be detected even 3 months after the EA treatment. The phMRI data revealed that chronic EA treatments could alter neuronal activity in the striatum, primary motor cortex (M1), cingulate gyrus and global pallidus externa (GPe) in the ipsilateral hemisphere to MPTP lesions. As seen in the changes of parkinsonian features, the residual effects of phMRI responses to apomorphine (APO) challenge could also be found in the aforementioned areas.
The results strongly suggest that anti-parkinsonian effects of electroacupuncture (EA) can be objectively assessed, and the method used in the present study could be translated into the human clinic with some minor modifications."

Canadian man looking for Asian woman.
HI! I'm a Canadian man looking for a traditional family-oriented Asian lady. I have my own business in the beautiful city of Montreal, Canada. Most of my time is spent on work so I don't get many chances to meet others which is why I think the internet may be an ideal place to meet you. Are you tired at the end of your work day? I enjoy cooking and giving my woman a relaxing massage so she can have a restful sleep. I enjoy long walks, hiking and travel. I hope we can do those activities together.
HI! I'm a Canadian man looking for a traditional Asian lady. I am only interested in Long-Term relationship. No tattoo woman or unusual piercings please. Please include your photo in your profile for a response. Thanks for looking!


Under no circumstances should authors submit previously published work, submit the same work simultaneously to multiple venues, or submit papers that plagiarize the work of other authors. Like other conferences and journals, ANCS prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. In some cases, the program committee may share information about submitted papers with other conference chairs and journal editors to ensure the integrity of papers under consideration. If the TPC discovers a violation of these principles, sanctions may include, but are not limited to, contacting the institutions of the authors and publicizing the details of the case.
ANCS will review extended versions of previously-published short preliminary papers (such as workshop papers) in accordance with published SIGCOMM policy. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement requests will not be considered nor ever disclosed.
Before submission, you are expected to make sure that your paper complies with these requirements. Authors are strongly discouraged from violating the formatting requirements, or exploiting loopholes, with the aim of including additional material: submissions that violate the requirements may not be reviewed, at the sole discretion of the PC.
Submit papers of no more than twelve (12) single-spaced pages (excluding references). Papers longer than 12 pages will not be reviewed.
Submit papers using a 9pt font on 12pt leading formatted for printing on Letter-sized (8.5" by 11") paper.
Please include the names of the authors and their affiliations under the title. ANCS 2017 submissions should not be anonymous.
Ensure that the fonts used for tables, footnotes, and references are large enough to be legible.
Limit the file size to less than 15 MB. Contact the Web Chair if you have a file larger than 15 MB.
Submit your paper by 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time (PST), Jan 21, 2017. Be sure to finalize your paper on the paper submission site to make it available for review.
For those users who could not get the account information emails from the submission website, please try to check your spam folder first, and mark the ANCS emails as "not spam". If it still does not work, please try to use another email box so that the new email server does not reject the ANCS emails. Contact the Web Chair if you have any problem submitting your work.
Registration only requires submission of paper metadata: paper title and abstract, author names, affiliations, contact email addresses, and conflicts with TPC members. The paper itself does not need to be submitted at the registration deadline. However, the paper title and abstract submitted during registration must be complete — not placeholders — and correctly characterize the paper that will be submitted. Authors can change the wording of their titles and abstracts for submission, but their essence should not fundamentally change. The TPC will use the information provided during registration as a basis for making review assignments.
Collaboration on a project, book, article, report, or paper within the last 48 months.
The ANCS 2017 TPC will notify authors of review decisions by March 8, 2017. All accepted papers may be shepherded by members of the TPC. Authors of accepted papers should plan to interact with their shepherds immediately after notification, and to budget sufficient time between acceptance notification and the camera-ready deadline to coordinate with their shepherd. It is a requirement that the paper be considered acceptable to the assigned shepherd so that the updates to the paper reflect the issues raised by the TPC (conflicts will be mediated by the TPC chairs) before the paper is considered "accepted" to appear in the conference proceedings.
Authors of accepted papers will also need to sign a copyright release form. Electronic copies of the camera-ready papers will be published on the conference Web site before the conference, unless authors specifically request otherwise.

Recumbents are more aerodynamic than any other bikes (your legs are in front of you, not below you), so you slip through the air with less effort. Touring recumbents are probably about 5-10% faster, racing recumbent bikes can be 30% faster – even before you start adding aerodynamic fairings.
With a recumbent, you don't really sit on the bike, you sit in it. Your back is fully supported, and there is no strain on your neck, wrists or back. Almost all the power comes from your legs, so you don't need a death grip on the handlebars. All of this means that on a recumbent you are a lot more comfortable – nice for everyone, but wonderful if you have a problem which makes it painful to ride an upright bike.
To start with, you won't be faster – in fact, you'll be slower. This is because recumbent riding uses different muscles to upright riding, and it will take 2 months at least of riding for your muscles to adapt.
Some kinds of riding aren't possible – serious off-road riding, for example. You can't get out of the seat, so you can't hop the front wheel over obstacles. With a full-suspension recumbent, you can just hit things at speed to get over them (within reason!) but it's not as slick as hopping the front wheel on an upright.
Most people take 5 minutes to get the basics – the real trick is to relax. You should always be back in the seat – don't sit forwards to start. Your shoulders should always be hard back against the seat. If you need to push hard on the pedals, push with your shoulders, don't pull on the bars. You should never need to put any force on the bars – your hands should just rest on teh bars. If you find this hard, try holding the bars just with your thumb and index finger – you can't force the bars by accident that way.
Starting, especially up a hill, is the hardest thing to learn. The trick is to rotate your "good" pedal to vertical, or a bit closer to you. Give a very good push on that pedal, and that will give you enough momentum to get your other foot up.
Wheelbase – can be short, medium or long. Short-wheelbases (SWB) have the front wheel behind the pedals, almost under the seat. This is compact and fast, and also amnouverable. It is a bit trickier to get used to, as you can't directly see the front wheel, but SWB recumbents are the best performing types.
Medium-wheelbases are also called compact long wheelbases (CLWB) just to be confusing… The front wheel is small, and directly below the pedals. CLWB bikes are very easy to get used to, and still quite compact.
Long-wheelbases (LWB) are now rather rare – the front wheel is out in front of the cranks. This design is very stable, and good for serious touring – though there are now SWBs which are just as good for touring without the disadvantages. LWB recumbents are heavy, take up a lot of space, and not very fast.
Handlebar position – the bars can be either over the seat or under it. Overseat steering is very direct, manouverable, aerodynamic and easy to get used to. Underseat steering is very comfortable – a lot better for touring.

Jens Dros eller Johannes Dros, död 29 januari 1289, var ärkebiskop i Lunds stift från 1280 till sin död.

Jens Dros var kanik i Lund 1256. Omkring 1279 blev han ärkedjäkne där men blev av domkapitlet vald till att efterträda Trugot Torstensen som ärkebiskop då denne dog den 2 maj 1280. Valet skulle bekräftas av påven. En ny bestämmelse från december 1279 påbjöd att ärkebiskopen måste resa till Rom för att få bekräftelsen. Trots att Jens Dros försummade att infinna sig skickade påven en legat som överlämnade palliet och meddelade att han blivit vigd till ärkebiskop. Han bevarade det fredliga förhållandet mellan kyrka och kungamakten, och stod på Erik Klippings sida mot de världsliga stormännen. Mordet på kung Erik förändrade inte förhållandet till kungamakten. Juldagen 1287 krönte han Erik Menved i Lund. 1289 dog han i Århus och efterträddes av Jens Grand.

Alert… the zombie drug…. is already in Brazil.
The drug "cloud nine" and other synthetic substances known as "bath salts" can cause a feeling of extreme relaxation, panic attack, stroke, or even convert the user into a cannibal overnight.
I don't even know how to address this. Drugs are a very real issue in the world and more serious than youngsters realize. I praise God to this day I've been sober and clean by His grace for two whole years. I'll never go back. These videos just prove how vicious a person on drugs can become. Fiction Becomes Reality! Reality Becomes Actuality!
The Bible says the enemy = Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy. Since removing God out of our classrooms, our streets are being plagued by brainwashed-programmed infants. MIX DRUGS WITH THAT which are a TOOL OF SATAN! You get what you SEE HERE = straight up demon possession! Its nothing short of demon possession my friends. That's what you're witnessing here.
In these end times, the two realms of Spirituality and Physical Reality are diverging paths and crossing where it meets the eye! We're seeing just the BEGINNING!


The Fairey Firefly U.8 was a pilotless target drone based on the Firefly T.7 and used to test a number of early anti-aircraft missiles. Work on producing a target drone based on the Firefly began in 1952. Fairey installed a radio-controlled Mk.8 automatic pilot and removed all unnecessary cockpit equipment, although it was still possible to fly the aircraft with a normal crew. The Rotol propeller was locked at 2600rpm. Four cameras were installed in two camera pods, one at each wing tip.
The first six U.8s were produced by converting existing T.7s. A second order was then placed for 34 aircraft. The first two were built by converting two T.7s that were close to completion, while the remaining 32 represented the last new Firefly construction, ending when the fortieth U.8 was delivered on 20 April 1956. A third order, for another forty drones, had to be filled by converting FR.5s to the U.9 standard.
The U.8 made its maiden flight on 30 December 1954 from Fairey's test field at Ringway. Most of them were used by the Royal Aircraft Establishment from its base at Llanbedr, where the first flight was made in February 1955. These flights needed three remote controllers, one following the Firefly in a 'shepherd' aircraft and two on the ground to land the drone.
The first successful 'hit' came on 29 September 1955, when a Firefly U.8 was shot down by a Firestreak missile launched from a De Havilland Venom. The drones were also used to develop the Seaslug surface-to-air missile, while five were shot down by Canadian McDonnell F2H-3 Banshees armed with Sidewinder missiles.


Girtford House is no more. The rather unlikely site today  is the Texaco garage and Somerfield shop on the north-west quadrant of the A1 roundabout opposite Bedford Road. The earliest record relating to the house is the inclosure map of 1799 [PM1/37] which shows a building in the location occupied by the house, albeit in a different shape to that on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey 25 inches to the mile map of 1884.
A newspaper cutting and photograph, see above, from 1954 [X758/1/11/136] support the idea that the property was 18th century or earlier. The cutting reads: "The pen of Dickens would be necessary to describe Girtford Manor House adequately as it is pictured here. Covered on the road side to the roof ridge with untrimmed ivy, the windows broken and doors hanging on one hinge, the derelict premises, which must have had dignity in the early Georgian or Queen Anne days, and the surrounding site, are being demolished to make room for modern car showrooms and a heavy goods vehicle repair depot".
The description of the house as the manor house raises an interesting question. Was the medieval manor house for the Manor of Girtford on or near the site? Medieval Girtford would have probably been further west than today, either side of the Great North Road and a site for the manor house near Girtford Bridge is plausible, though it cannot be proven. The court records of the Manor of Girtford are held by Bedfordshire and Luton Archives and Records Service and cover the dates 1413 to 1466 and 1536 to 1573 [L26] and detailed study of these may give a clue.
THE RESIDENCE which is Brick Built and Tiled, contains Tiled Hall, Butler's Pantry with cupboard and fireplace, Back Hall leading to Gentleman's Lavatory, Tradesmen's Entrance to Wash House with fireplace and copper, Billiard Room 38 feet by 16 feet 6 inches, and Back Stairs and Landing with fitted linen cupboard and 2 Servants Bedrooms and Loft, Kitchen 17 feet 6 inches by 13 feet 9 inches fitted with range, dresser and cupboard; Pantry, Scullery with force pump and well of water, copper, fireplace and hot and cold water laid on over sink, Side Hall to Garden, Smoke Room with cupboard in recess and French Window, Side Hall with capital wine cellar fitted with bins, Dining Room 18 feet 6 inches by 16 feet with two windows and door leading to Drawing Room which is 19 feet 6 inches by 15 feet 6 inches fitted with marble mantel and having three windows together with small Conservatory. The Bed-chambers are approached by a main and well lighted staircase also back Stairs from Kitchen and comprise Bedroom over Hall fitted with gun cupboard and iron safe, small Dressing Room adjoining, Large Landing, Bedroom over Smoke Room, Large Bath Room with fireplace, Bedroom adjoining, W. C., Bedroom over Drawing Room with two windows, Small Dressing Room, Bedroom over Dining Room with two windows, also three Attics.
The Kitchen Garden and Grounds are walled and are well stocked with Shrubs and also wall and other Fruit Trees in full bearing. Small Green House and a 4-light Garden Frame.
N. B. The fitted Bath and Lavatory Basin belong to Mr. Moller who has the right to remove same.
The Auctioneers desire to call especial attention to this important lot of property which is admirably adapted for business purposes, such as Motor or other similar works where substantial buildings are required, as it occupies an important position on the Great North Road.
N. B. – The Sluice as used for flushing purposes on the South side of this Lot is the property of the BedsCounty Council.
The Rating and Valuation Act 1925 specified that every building and piece of land in the country was to be assessed to determine its rateable value. Sandy, like most of the county, was assessed in 1927 and the valuer visiting Girtford House [DV1/C28/34-37] found it owned and occupied by David W. Ibbett. The valuer was not too impressed, commenting: "Awful. Very unlettable. Right on road at bad corner. Very dark".
The brick, lath, plaster and tiled building comprised: a kitchen and larder; a washhouse with a range and copper for heating water; a back stairs; a room measuring 14 feet 6 inches by 16 feet, another measuring 13 feet 6 inches by 16 feet and a third measuring 12 feet by 13 feet 6 inches (two of these had circular windows); a butler's pantry "used for lumber" and a w. c.
Upstairs lay five bedrooms measuring 14 feet 6 inches by 16 feet, 13 feet 6 inches by 16 feet, 14 feet square, 12 feet by 14 feet and 14 feet by 7 feet 6 inches. Two of these had a circular window. There was also a dressing room, a w. c. and a room measuring 17 feet by 12 feet 6 inches with a bath.
In an adjoining building lay a store room, a school room, two bedrooms above the school room both measuring 15 feet by 8 feet and a living room, also above the school room measuring 16 feet by 11 feet. The valuer noted that the school had room for twenty but present attendance was just seven, the average for the previous four years being six. A loft lay over part of the schoolroom.
An old glasshouse and shed lay in the garden. Also outside lay an old, plaster and tiled disused two stall stable with a loft over, a brick and tiled stable with three boxes with a harness room and shed. Also outside lay a timber and tiled shed, a large brick and tiled barn and shed with a loft over, a timber and tiled two stalled stable and cart shed, a corrugated iron open-fronted cart shed and an old brick and tiled barn.
The valuer made further comments as follows: "House in poor condition: very old and structurally not firm. Requires a great amount up upkeep, very damp, ceilings badly cracked".
The 1936 and 1940 directories do not have a listing for the property. It seems likely, therefore that the last tenant left in the early or mid 1930s and the house began its near quarter century decline into dereliction before being pulled down in the mid 1950s.

How to motivate Ugandan youths in the Diaspora.
The Ugandan youths in the diaspora need to be encouraged to bring the change by coming together and initiating a dialogue about how opportunities can be explored and turned into successful milestones, hence shaping the future of Uganda. Every year Ugandan UK Convention takes place which talks about the investment opportunities in different sectors in Uganda. It provides a platform for exchanging of views and bonding for the Ugandan diaspora on the matters of common interests. This year Uganda UK Convention 2014 is going to take place on 13th September 2014.
A youth forum was established in 2012 in conjunction with the Ugandan Convention 2012. As the Ugandan immigrant population ages, a need was felt for the Ugandan youth to take over when most of people in Uganda had gone back home. The average age of active money remitters is 45 years and 10 years ahead, most of them would retire or would have less energy to work. Consequently, there will be lesser money remitted back home and lesser foreign deposits. So there is a need to prepare them not only as future leaders but as Ugandans who can increase the flow of remittance to Uganda.
The open dialogue as a result of the forum would promote increased political participation from the Ugandan youths and help in developing concrete plans of action for increasing the role of the youth in development processes and peace in Uganda. This would also increase the socio-economic, technological and cultural relations of Ugandan youth by bringing them together and initiating an open dialogue.
The Ugandans in the Nordic countries have been encouraged by the parliament to form associations as a collective step to enable investment in Uganda. Addressing at the Uganda's 51st Independence event in Denmark, the Ambassador of Uganda to denamrk . H.E. Zaake Kibedi appealed to Ugandans in diaspora to use associations to raise enough money for investment at home. He said that in order to invest in Uganda, a minimum amount of one million dollars is needed and since there are 10,000 Ugandans in the Nordics, each can contribute $200 to raise $2,000,000 which is more than enough to invest in an ordinary venture of value addition.
Also there is law for Ugandan diaspora which is in draft form and which intends to solve a number of issues like providing opportunities for everyone in the diaspora to participate and contribute to national development, opening a dialogue and steps for cooperation among the diaspora and their country, protecting the businesses and properties of Ugandans, enabling externalisation to recognise the academic education gained in Uganda or abroad for seeking employment, enhancing coordination and administrative systems supporting the diaspora programmes in Uganda as one stop centres and externalisation of labour for increasing national income through remittances.
In order to help the Ugandan diaspora address the parliamentary issues, the parliament has opened a help desk to bridge the gap between the parliament and the Ugandan diaspora. A group email was also set up as: diasporadesk@parliament.go.ug.

the usa's opponents are increasingly turning to bitcoin-trend cryptocurrencies after their economies have been dropped at their knees thanks to crippling U.S. sanctions, consultants have warned.
g in the know-how in an attempt to counter American financial may – and an authority says these nations are forming alliances during the know-how.
A sort of digital money, cryptocurrency uses encryption to cozy transactions and control the creation of recent units. It makes use of cryptography, a variety of secret coding originating from the 2d World battle, to manner transactions securely. Its foremost attraction is it is untraceable.
U.S. sanctions work by way of inserting bans on dealings and transactions with people, countries and organizations.
These prohibitions are sometimes enforced with the support of mainstream financial associations.
but cryptocurrencies do not function inside this based system. actually, bitcoin and different cryptocurrencies have been invented in part to sidestep the latest regulated fiscal system.
This means countries like Iran using or controlling the sort of foreign money would enable it to pass certain measures, corresponding to a ban on purchasing U.S. bucks or even facilitate hands offers.
In may also, the U.S. pulled out of a deal to lift sanctions against Iran in return for curbs on its nuclear software – a plan President Donald Trump has time and again blasted.
soon after, Mohammad Reza Pourebrahimi, the pinnacle of the Iranian Parliamentary fee for financial Affairs, spoke about cryptocurrencies as a way for countries to keep away from U.S. greenback transactions – as well as a likely alternative of the SWIFT international fee gadget.
And Alireza Daliri, a senior science and technology respectable of Iran's Presidential office, noted: "We are trying to prepare the grounds to make use of a domestic digital currency in the nation.
"This forex would facilitate the switch of funds (to and from) anyplace in the world.
Darren Parkin, editorial director of cryptocurrency information web page Coin Rivet, described how the adoption of cryptocurrencies is assisting to push economic alliances between these states.
He pointed to the instance of Iran and Russia working together to overcome the sanctions that affect them each.
He informed Fox information: "The problem the U.S. has is in the event that they are dealing with fiat forex (forex that a government has declared to be legal soft) they can display screen the impact of the sanctions.
"but if nations use cryptocurrency they have fallen under the radar of what the U.S. can see.
Venezuela additionally reportedly got support from Moscow when it became hit with sanctions, leading to food shortages, hovering costs, a healthcare cave in and a crime spree.
In February the South American nation launched a brand new cryptocurrency known as petro that Nicolas Maduro, the socialist chief of Venezuela, described as 'kryptonite' towards the energy of the U.S. govt.
An nameless government at a Russian state bank claims the Kremlin oversaw the introduction of the petro after President Vladimir Putin signed off on it closing 12 months.
The supply told Time: "americans close to Putin, they told him here is a way to stay away from the sanctions.
"and i'm bound that this can be a really wonderful choice for China, India, and different states as smartly," he introduced.
in the meantime, Priscilla Moriuchi, a former NSA cybersecurity legitimate, advised The Hill North Korea earns an estimated $ 15 million to $ 200 million by means of mining and selling cryptocurrencies.
Pyongyang's army of hackers is also believed to have stolen cryptocurrency from businesses and people right through the area.
As if states adverse to the U.S. exploiting cryptocurrency changed into not concerning ample, analysts have warned bitcoin and different cryptocurrencies are already getting used to secretly stream money between sympathizers and terror cells all the way through the area.
Nikita Malik, the creator of a contemporary file by way of the united kingdom-based Henry Jackson Society about on-line extremism known as Terror in the dead of night, mentioned: "The authorities must movement urgently to boost their skills of terrorists' activities in cyberspace and their use of applied sciences equivalent to bitcoin.
"via fundraising and making financial transactions on-line, terrorists and different criminals can steer clear of interference from economic regulators or different third parties who could in any other case take steps to avoid their operations.

Salomon Rondon struck twice as Newcastle recorded consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since April with victory over Bournemouth at St James' Park.
Rondon put the home side ahead after just seven minutes following great work by DeAndre Yedlin, who darted in behind the Bournemouth defence to pick out the waiting Venezuelan.
The 29-year-old striker then doubled his side's advantage as half-time approached, dropping deep to collect the ball before charging into the penalty area to meet Kenedy's cross with a powerful header.
There was a long first-half delay as Adam Smith received treatment for an injury sustained while preparing to take a free-kick, and it was deep into stoppage-time that Bournemouth found a route back into the contest as record signing Jefferson Lerma nodded in Ryan Fraser's cross.
Cherries goalkeeper Asmir Begovic produced a string of fine saves to keep his side in the contest, while Jordon Ibe missed a good opportunity to equalise for the visitors who fell to back-to back league defeats.

Young pastry apprentice back-paid $7300
17 January, 2017 by
The Fair Work Ombudsman has recovered more than $7000 back-pay for a young worker at a food manufacturing business in inner Sydney.
The Fair Work Ombudsman conducted inquiries into the matter after the worker, a full-time third-year apprentice pastry chef, contacted the Agency seeking assistance.
The worker, aged 20, worked approximately 50 hours each week and was paid an annual salary of $30,400, which meant the effective rate she received was less than $12 an hour.
Under the General Retail Industry Award at the time, she was entitled to receive hourly rates of $16.10 for ordinary hours, $20.13 on Saturdays, $32.20 on Sundays, and up to $40.25 for public holiday and overtime work.
An officer from the Fair Work Ombudsman contacted the business, based at Darlinghurst, and provided the business operator with information about obligations under workplace laws.
The operator subsequently back-paid the employee a total of $7300, which had been underpaid over an eight-month period in 2015-16.
Acting Fair Work Ombudsman Michael Campbell said wages paid to salaried employees must be sufficient to cover minimum entitlements under the applicable award or agreement.
"For young workers, one of the best defences against being short-changed is an awareness of your workplace rights and the knowledge that you can turn to the Fair Work Ombudsman for free advice and assistance if you have concerns, like this employee did," Campbell said.

This post was co-written by Peg Grafwallner and Teri Knight.
My daughter, Ani, is autistic and intellectually disabled. She works as a lab assistant at the local pediatric hospital. Prior to earning the job, she was an intern gaining valuable on-the- job experience and improving her social skills.
Within the first week of her internship, however, her job coach called me and explained that Ani asked a fellow intern if she was a boy or a girl? She truly didn't know and, without realizing this could be a social misstep, went ahead and asked. I explained to the job coach that as an Instructional Coach/Reading Specialist at a large urban high school, I, too, might be unsure of the gender of some students as well as the gender with which they identify. The job coach told me to have a talk with Ani regarding social correctness.
Teri's matter-of-fact response caused me to wonder how many of our students are in the same situation, but might not have a parent to advocate for them or a teacher willing to ask this straightforward question. According to Carrie Kilman, author of the article "The Gender Spectrum" (http://www.tolerance.org/gender-spectrum), "Make explicit at the start of the school year that in your classroom, everyone deserves respect and that making fun of people based on gender identity or expression won't be tolerated." Teri took a situation that could have been painfully awkward for students and made it a respectful, teachable moment.
As we continued talking, Teri explained that she had a student who identified with both genders.
"What did you do then? I mean, how do you refer to a student who identifies with both?" I asked cautiously.
For most of us, gender differences have been relatively well-defined. When babies are born, gifts are usually bought with the gender in mind: pink for girls and blue for boys. But, today we're being urged to think of gender in a new way; not as something specific necessarily, but as something flexible or changeable. Kilman goes on to say, "It's OK to say, 'I need to stop and figure this out.' Just remember, this isn't about your values. It's about your legal and moral obligation to support every child as the best teacher you can be." Kilman encourages teachers to put their own personal bias away and focus on the needs of the students. Are our gender views so significant that we would give less of ourselves in the classroom and less of ourselves to students who look to us for compassion and empathy?
In Teri's particular situation, a concerned parent took a courageous step to advocate for her son; hoping to partner with a teacher who was willing to take that step with her. Teri's practical approach to assure respect and safety as expectations and not privileges demonstrates the significance of providing students the basic tenet of integrity. In asking students what they want; by giving them a choice, she told them that their response was significant and their choice was valid.
The demands made by students, parents, and society on today's teacher are daunting and sometimes misguided. However, this "demand" regarding gender is obvious, attainable and fair. We adhere to this mandate for our students because we want to be the best teachers we can be and because, very simply, it is the right thing to do.

The body of a man was discovered yesterday in the Culmersville area with what police suspect are injuries inflicted by insects or rodents.
Police were called to an abandoned pink and white house at Royal Palm Street after 3 p.m. where the body of a man suspected to be in his 50s was discovered. The man appeared to have been dead for at least 12 hours before being found, police confirmed.
Inspector Solomon Cash, a detective attached to the Homicide Squad at the Central Detective Unit(CDU), said police have classified the death as a case of sudden death. An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of the man's death.
Cash said CDU was contacted as a result of the injuries to the body. Police suspect the insect or rodent injuries were inflicted after the man's death.
"But again, we will have to await an autopsy report to make a professional determination as to the cause of death,"said Cash.


U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker today announced she will lead a Business Development Mission to Japan and South Korea from October 19-23, 2014 focused on the health care and energy sectors. This will be Secretary Pritzker's fourth trade mission since taking office in June 2013 and will promote U.S. exports to Japan and South Korea by helping American companies launch or increase their business in these key markets. The Business Development Mission also underscores the Administration's commitment to strengthening our commercial ties across Asia.
As our fourth and sixth-largest trading partners respectively, Japan and South Korea present ample opportunities for U.S. businesses to sell their goods and services. In both countries, the governments and private sector are making significant investments in both health care and energy. Japan has a $153 billion market for medical and health products and South Korea's total market for drugs and medical device products combined is roughly $21 billion. U.S. businesses are well-positioned to provide innovative health care solutions in both of these countries, where they are focusing efforts on improved treatments, health maintenance and better overall health.
With respect to energy, following the March 2011 natural disasters and nuclear emergency in Japan, the country is in need of new energy sources and is looking to optimize their mix of energy imports. Additionally, both short and long term opportunities exist in the South Korean energy sector. Due to the lack of natural resources, both Japan and South Korea have long been dependent on imported energy sources to meet their energy needs.
The Business Development Mission delegation will be composed of senior executives from 20-25 U.S. firms, representing the mission's target sectors of health care and energy. Representatives of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im) will be invited to participate to provide information and counseling regarding their suite of programs and services on federal trade promotion and financing capabilities in Japan and South Korea. This collaborative interagency approach highlights the shared interest among U.S. Government agencies in promoting Japan and South Korea as critical overseas markets. This collaborative interagency approach highlights the "all of government" approach to President Obama's National Export Initiative.
The mission will make stops in Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, South Korea.
Businesses interested in participating in this trade mission should complete an online application at the Japan and South Korea mission website at http://www.export.gov/japansouthkoreamission2014/. For more information, you can contact the U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Business Liaison at (202) 482-1360 or BusinessLiaison[at]doc[dot]gov.
The application deadline for the trade mission is Friday, August 22, 2014.


Hundreds of runners of all abilities have attained their event goals and benefited from our half marathon training programs. Meet new friends, get specialized training schedules, run in a group environment, be more confident in your event, learn about running fitness and racing tactics, and more. Programs sell out fast and ONLY registered participants can participate.
Registration is closed for our Fall 2018 program, but we welcome you to sign up for our Rockin' 'n' Runnin' Training Program that starts in January!
For those that wish to continue with us into the fall, or return after a summer hiatus, we have the Whatever Training Program. Like the summer version, we're focused on regaining or maintaining fitness but for a wider variety of events. Group size is limited to around 100 runners and the program follows a similar format. The difference is there is no specific race we train for. Thus, we each train for "whatever" we want.
Maybe you are aiming to run the popular Silver Strand Half Marathon in November or the Holiday Half in December. Could be you want a couple of hours of support on your long runs while training to a full marathon. Maybe you are looking to meet other runners like you training for "whatever" – you define the goal and distance. Events in Nov, Dec. and Jan would be great fit for this program.
Once the weather starts to cool, we move inland more often to run trails in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve and Mission Trails and SDTC fall cross-country races. The program ends with the annual Christmas Card Lane Run in December.
The program includes weekly Tuesday night group track workouts and Saturday morning long runs with aid station support, training schedules tailored for three running speeds (12:00 to 10:00 minutes per mile, 10:00 to 7:30 minutes per mile, and 7:30 minutes per mile and faster), seminar speakers, access to a half marathon training web site, and long run course maps/route descriptions and more.
For the past ten years, the SDTC members have been gathering in San Diego County on Saturdays throughout the summer to train for the America's Finest Half Marathon in mid-August. This is also the perfect program if you are training for the Balboa Park 8 Miler, Santa Rosa Half Marathon, or building mileage for a Fall Marathon.
Dubbed the "Half Mad" Half Marathon Training by founder Stephen Burch, the program remains true to its roots as a much smaller, low-key version of the club's wildly popular Rockin' 'n' Runnin' marathon training program. In fact, most of those who sign up for the summer program are RnR alumni; others hope to run their first marathon with us the following year.
Coach Jameson Rienick leads summer runs that take place at Lake Murray, Harbor Island, Balboa Park, Point Loma, Pacific Beach and Coronado. The program has its own website to find weekly and monthly schedules, maps and directions to the start. Supported aid stations feature ice-cold water and an electrolyte drink are provided. We also gather for the Tuesday evening workouts at Balboa Park that are led by Metro SD Coach Paul Greer.


WhatsApp is testing a new feature in its beta versions. They are the group descriptions, similar to the old status but for collective chats.
There are several WhatsApp news that starts to accumulate in the last months. All features have been seen in the beta versions for some users, although few of them are available for everyone. The last of these are group descriptions of WhatsApp, a feature that is recollective of the old states.
Time will tell us whether this update is useful or not. At the moment we know that WhatsApp experiments with descriptions of the activity of each one of its groups. It is a text box to fill in with all the data that you or your friends want to include and leave in sight of all members.
Like the old text state, these descriptions will be visible to all members of that group. In principle, its purpose would be to explain what is used for this collective chat, although for that already the name is used. It will be necessary to see if additional options are added as yet unknown.
In addition to this novelty, it is definitely landed in the application the option to share the location in real time or to delete the sent messages. The three have been filtering through the Twitter account of WABetainfo, the usual source of news about WhatsApp and its intentions.
Little by little it is getting rich with new features, enough to keep your audience aware of the improvements. However, many criticise the lack of security and privacy, including the European Union itself. The EU has already cancelled the option of sharing user data between WhatsApp and Facebook.
Today, this Facebook-owned messaging application is the most popular in the world. Neither Telegram nor Google Allo has managed to scrape market share, yielding ground despite gaining users every month.
This is all about the Group descriptions update in WhatsApp. Stay tuned to our website for more updates from WhatsApp and other interesting stuff.

Oh my! I bookmarked this recipe from The Girl Who Ate Everything a few weeks ago, but didn't try it until today. The kitchen smelled like a sunny vacation (a mix of sunscreen and a margarita), and the batter tasted amazing. The cookies turned out light and chewy, and totally delicious. Enjoy!
Toast coconut by spreading on a baking sheet and cooking in a 350' oven for approximately 5 minutes.
Combine the first four ingredients, and set aside. Beat butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, lime zest, and lime juice. Beat well. Stir in toasted coconut. Add dry mixture gradually and mix well.
Roll batter into 1-1.5 inch balls, and roll in sugar. Place on silpat-lined cookie sheets (or parchment) about 1 1/2 inches apart, as they spread considerably. Bake for 10 minutes at 350'. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes on cookie sheets before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
