Spring is in the air and it is official; we have made it through another winter. For children, having been kept inside while dealing with the colder weather for what seems like an eternity, it is time to finally get outside and enjoy all that Mother Nature offers us; the sunshine, the fresh air, warmer and longer days – it is all very exciting!
And, with this additional time outdoors – sports, park adventures, swimming, hiking, or even just fooling around in one's back yard – accidents will surely happen, because bumps, scratches and bruises are a normal part of growing up.
When this happens, we can call on the help of the green nation. What can us parents make at home to help, rather than running out to the local pharmacy to buy something that is wrapped in plastic and filled with synthetic ingredients?
I am a big fan of salves. I make them to aid with respiratory issues, to help lull my little boy off to sleep at night and of course for boo-boos, a healing balm such as the one in this recipe. The base recipe is usually the same, and all that differs are the essential oils I use, dependent on what I need help with.
As I have written about in previous articles, generally speaking, once a child is past the age of 5 years, most essential oils are safe to use, however there are a handful like some eucalyptuses, birch, chaste tree, peppermint and wintergreen which should be avoided all together, or at least until the age of 7-10 years.
With this said, the essential oils used in this recipe are mild and are deemed safe to use with small children. Still, I suggest using this balm only on children who are 1 year of age and above.
This healing balm will be of particular help with minor cuts and grazes, just remember to remove all traces of dirt by washing the area thoroughly first. If you want, you can also add a few drops of tea tree and lavender to the cleaning water, as it will act as an antiseptic and will also help to calm your child down after the injury.
.25 ounces of candelilla wax (Euphorbia Cerifera). This is a vegan wax alternative, however, if you prefer beeswax you can use this at .5 ounces.
Label with ingredients, amount in jar, and date created; you can also give it a fun name if you like!
Here are 5 essential oils I call on often with my young family, and which are incredible allies to help with boo-boos; note this includes what I call the 3 "TLC" essential oils – Tea tree, Lavender and Chamomile.
Therapeutic Actions – Anti-inflammatory, and vulnerary (supports the healing of wounds). I love helichrysum. It is one of my favorites to alleviate inflammation, disperse bruising, soothe injured muscles, to help reduce pain and to reduce skin scarring.
Therapeutic Actions – Vulnerary, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic. Lavender helps with wound healing, relieves itching, helps with open wounds and poorly healing wounds, muscular aches and pains, sprains, strains, and is cell regenerating. It is also considered an analgesic.
Therapeutic Actions – Mild analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and vulnerary. Roman Chamomile is wonderfully soothing, is considered to be a wound healer, aids with muscular aches and pains, and speeds up slow healing wounds.
Therapeutic Actions – Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal, and immune-stimulant. Tea tree consoles achy muscles, and helps with infected wounds.
Therapeutic Actions – Anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, carminative, immune enhancer, and vulnerary. Frankincense is said to help with scars, inflamed skin conditions, wound healing, calming, and for thousands of years has been considered an all around healer, both emotionally and physically.
Other skin supporting essential oils you can use are – Manuka, Niaouli, Pine and Lemon- to name a handful.
Giving thanks to Mother Nature for these incredible gifts from the Earth, happy parenting and happy blending!

BTB Awards: Best Convention
December 30, 2011 by Dan Thompson	in BTB Awards, BTB Christmas 2011, Events and tagged Beyond The Bunker, comic con, Comic Convention, Kapow, Kapow Comic Con, Leeds, Mark Millar, Stan Lee Awards, Thought Bubble	| Leave a comment
This was, in all honesty, about the toughest category that we've had to face in the process of putting these awards together. Before launching Moon earlier this year, Steve and I's experience with comic cons could at best be described as "limited" and the past 12 months have been something of a culture shock. We've had some great experiences and some not-so-great ones (though it should be said that on the whole it has been almost entirely positive). The UK convention scene is incredibly varied and knowing how to go about ranking these events has proven to be something of a challenge. The two events that we've chosen to recognise are about as far apart as its possible to get but in their own ways I think they both demonstrate some of the best aspects of what conventions have to offer.
Winner – Thought Bubble
Thought Bubble is a week long sequential art festival which is held in Leeds every year. The comic con portion of the event runs for two days across two convention halls. Very much a fan run convention rather than a commercial venture, Thought Bubble focuses on the artistic aspects of comic books and tends to lean more towards Indy books and UK publishers. That isn't to say that TB lacks big name creators, this year saw appearances from the likes of Gail Simone (Batgirl, Secret Six), Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men) and Adam Hughes (Catwoman).
The odd thing about our love for Thought Bubble is that we very nearly didn't go. Beyond The Bunker is London based and while that's great most of the time (I can actually see the Excel Centre from my window) it means that trekking up to Leeds for a weekend is quite an expensive venture. They say that publishing Indy comics isn't about the money and, while that's true to an extent, it's also true that you only get to print your next comic if you make a profit on the last one. Blowing a chunk of our summer's profits on an adventure up north seemed like a risky play so close to the print bill for Moon #2.
In the end what convinced us to take the plunge was the astounding amount of goodwill towards the con that flowed from almost every creator we met. At every con we visited we bumped into people who raved about Thought Bubble at every opportunity and, having now attended it ourselves, I can see that they were exactly right to do so.
Me holding down the fort in between sprinting into town for more change
What makes Thought Bubble so good is the way it flawlessly balances scale with intimacy. At two days in length and two halls in size, Thought Bubble is just as big as its London counterparts and its guest list is easily as impressive (more so in many cases as the London cons tend to focus on film and tv guests). You could quite happily skip every other con and walk away from TB with a comprehensive convention experience. At the same time though, the event still feels like an intimate social experience where you share a pint with the creators, attend panels on niche subjects and discover a range of incredible Indy books. It is this combination of size and soul that make Thought Bubble such a joy to attend both as an exhibitor and a fan and it's a worthy winner for this award.
Runner Up – Kapow!
At the other end of the scale lies our runner up, Kapow! The Mark Millar backed mega-con held its debut event this past April at the Business Design Centre and promised to bring the San Diego experience to the UK.
Kapow certainly lacks the intimacy of Thought Bubble. It is (by its own admission) entirely focused on big names and big companies with small creators offered almost nothing in the way of incentives to attend. But what it lacks in small town charm it makes up for in raw star power and polish. With the likes of John Romita Jr, Frank Quitely and Jonathan Ross in attendance as well as booths for several major publishers and studios, Kapow absolutely delivered on its promise to provide something new. While many cons this year had a great atmosphere, nothing could match the sheer excitement and electricity that permitted the air at Kapow.

Sure, there were teething troubles – a somewhat unbalanced guest and badly managed queues succeeded in putting a few noses out of joint – but given how ambitious the project was, these are perhaps acceptable niggles for a first show.The thing that Kapow really shares with Thought Bubble is in how vocal its supporters are. While there seems to be no shortage of people who were happy to write off the con in absentia, I have yet to meet somebody who attended it and didn't have a great time. Much like its surrogate father, Mark Millar's convention isn't subtle but it sure as hell kicks ass.
Check back tomorrow for another BTB award!
Stan Lee Awards 2011 (part 2)
February 6, 2011 by Dan Thompson	in Comics and tagged Image, Kapow Comic Con, Mark Millar, Misfits, Red Dead Redemption, Rob Guillory, Scott Pilgrim, Stan Lee, Stan Lee Awards	| Leave a comment
We're back for the second part of our speculation on the 2011 Stan Lee Awards. Yesterday we covered the first six categories, but there are still six more to get through, so let's get to it!
Best Comic Hero
Ok so this is a straight out fanboy race. It just depends on who is voting. I found myself casting my vote for Pilgrim because I felt bad about not plugging for him in the movie category and I have a feeling that I may not be alone in that thought process. If I had to pick an outsider I think I'd go for Green Lantern, he's got a movie coming out and Blackest Night was a pretty big deal but seriously, who really likes Hal Jordan? Really? You're lying.
BTB Pick for Best Comic Hero - Scott Pilgrim
Best Newcomer
Rob Guillory
The newcomer category paints a rather rosy picture about the future of comics and there is some quite wonderful work to be seen if you look up any of the names you see here. Obviously the big name power of Jonathan Ross gives him a bit of an edge when it comes to casual fans, but to be fair on the guy Turf is one hell of a first book and the fact that he's willing to put his name on the line to support initiatives like Clint shows that he's far more serious about comics than some might think.
Kieron Gillen's work on the critically acclaimed SWORD gives him a pretty good shot but I think I'm going to have to go out on a limb and give it to Rob Guillory. Chew is one of my favorite new books and Guillory's art is absolutely central to what makes it so good. His skill at combining the horrible and the hilarious have impressed me since the first page of that book and it'd be great to see him pull in a big award like this for his work.
BTB Pick for Best Newcomer - Rob Guillory
Best Publisher
Image has had a hell of year in so many regards. As the big two have struggled to keep hold of readers, Image has seen its readership go from strength to strength as it leads the pack of smaller publishers chasing up behind the big dogs. The decision to embrace day and date digital distribution with books like Walking Dead was, to my mind, a master stroke. It puts Image clearly at the front of the digital revolution of comics and makes DC and Marvel seem sluggish by comparison. Yes, the big two still have more fans and so in a public vote, a smaller publisher will always struggle to overcome them, but it's far from the certainty it would have been a couple of years ago. This could well be the year that DC and Marvel get their rears handed to them by the Indys and in honesty it could be the best thing to happen to them in years. Nothing breeds creativity like competition and for that reason I really hope Image walks away with this one.
BTB Pick for Best Publisher - Image
Best TV Show
I'm inclined to lean towards Dr Who on this one because it's the only one that I've had a chance to really get into watching but I know how much Steve adores Misfits so I'll place our official Bunker seal of approval with them. Realistically I think Dr Who probably has too big and too passionate a fan base to allow the other nominees a look in and, to be fair, Matt Smith is a bloody good Doctor. But it would be nice to see Misfits pull off the upset.
I have absolutely no idea why Boardwalk Empire is on this list. It looks amazing, sure. But why is it being nominated for an award at a comic book convention? I guess while it's been a great year for geek movies, it's been somewhat less of one for geek TV.
BTB Pick for Best TV Show - Misfits
Best Game or Toy
Gotta feel a bit sorry for NBA 2K11 in this category, I'm pretty sure that the people who frequent the Kapow website aren't the sort of people who play a tonne of Basketball games. I don't mean to question the game's quality, it might be fantastic, but I wouldn't know because I'm the sort of person that frequents the Kapow website.
Honestly I think Red Dead will probably take this one. It was hands down one of the best games of last year and was one of the only things to put any kind of dent in my near religious World of Warcraft schedule. Reach has a fantastic (if clichéd as hell) story but you can see pretty much everything that's worth seeing in the game in about a day. Black Ops is the heavy hitter of the pack in terms of sales and it does have a hardcore base of fans, but Red Dead is just a better game with a more mainstream appeal.
BTB Pick for Best Game or Toy - Red Dead Redemption
Man or Woman of the Year
Mark Millar may feel awkward about being nominated in his own awards ceremony but it seems Stan Lee has no such qualms and why not, eh? In actuality, Stan the Man has actually had a pretty influential year and probably does warrant a place on this list beyond the usual "because he's Stan Lee!" ones. His work with Boom Studios on the "Stan Lee Presents" line has produced some really good work and helped to highlight that while Stan's writing style may seem a little dated nowadays, as a pure ideas man he really is still one of the best in the business. I have a feeling that he may well walk away with this one largely because of the aforementioned "because he's Stan Lee!" reason, but if he does then it'll be a relatively well deserved win.
Vaughn is the clear outsider here for me. Kick Ass was a major event and the fact that Kapow attendees are likely to be fans of that film will probably help his chances a bit, but he's just not the comic book powerhouse that the others are. X-Men First Class hasn't been receiving a warm reception from comics fans as of late and while he thoroughly deserves his spot in the nominees list, I just don't see him pulling off a win.
Were it not a public poll then I'd put my money on Quesada. Whatever you may think of some of his editorial decisions there's no denying that he made Marvel what it is today and since he's stepping down this year, it's probably a good time for an award of some kind to recognise that.
Kirkman would be a fantastic winner for me. 2010/11 really was the year of digital comics and next to Mark Millar himself, he's probably about the biggest creator in that particular arena. Throw in the Walking Dead TV series and it's been a pretty solid year. I'd hesitate to put money on him winning, but I'd go nuts if he did.
BTB Pick for Man or Woman of The Year - Stan Lee
Well that's the lot of them. We're very curious to know what you dear bunkerites (do you want to be called bunkerites? I think you want to be called bunkerites) think of the list, so please do jump on the comments section and let us know your hot tips so that we can all be proved wrong together when Ant and Dec are announced as winners.
February 4, 2011 by Dan Thompson	in Comics and tagged Batman, Batman & Robin Must Die, Blackest Night, Grant Morrison, Green Lantern, Inception, John Romita Jr, Kapow Comic Con, Kick Ass, Mark Millar, Robert Kirkman, Stan Lee, Stan Lee Awards, Walking Dead	| 1 Comment
Mark Millar's been playing his Kapow cards pretty close to his chest in recent weeks in preparation for next Monday's promised mega announcement about the convention. But at least there's at least one bit of news that we won't have to wait until the 14th for: the Stan Lee Award nominations are here!
The Stans are a new award, created for Kapow that are designed to celebrate mainstream comics in all their glory. While the Eisners have traditionally championed lesser known books and creators, the Stans have their sights set firmly on the mass market. Abstract comics about the plight of Spanish chair makers can be extremely good, but you won't find them anywhere on this list. Nor indeed will you find anything by Millar himself as, being the organiser of the awards, he's chosen to remove himself from the nominations list.
The list of people responsible for nominating attests to this mainstream quality as well. A quick scan of the publications that participated will bring up names like IGN, Empire, The News of The World (insert phone tapping joke here) and Forbidden Planet. Seth Rogan even makes an appearance to help add some star power to the list.
So we know what they are, now let's dig into the nominations themselves:
Best Writer
We said it was a list for big names and you don't get much bigger than some of the names here. Bendis and Morrison are pretty much Marvel and DC's respective frontmen at the moment so you it's a pretty good indication of where the rest of the list is going. Not that this is a bad thing, there's a reason that these guys are big names. I think it's a shame to see Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning missing out on a nod as their work on Marvel's cosmic books has been superb, but I guess you can't have all your favs there.
My heart is with Kirkman on this as I'm a massive fan of the Walking Dead, but if I were a betting man then I think the smart money would have to be on Morrison. Batman Inc may not be everyone's cup of bat-tea but there's no denying that his run with the character has been nothing short of monumental. Plus he killed My Chemical Romance, which is bound to score him a few votes.
I'd have to peg Bendis as an outsider in this race. Marvel's top guy has given us some cool moments over the last twelve months but I'm hard pressed to think of anything that really lives up to the best stuff we've seen from him in the past. That said, he remains the king of banter and Bendis off form is still better than most writers at their best, so don't count him out too early.
Ennis? I think he may just be a bit too indy for this award. I'd like to be proven wrong but I think you'd be taking a chance betting on the Preacher's horse.
BTB pick for Best Writer - Grant Morrison
Best Artist
JH Williams III
Steve McNiven
Duncan Fegredo
McNiven is flat out one of my favorite artists and his work on Old Man Logan is frankly breath-taking, however I have a feeling that Kick Ass is going to come through and win it for Romita. If it does go that way then it'll be well deserved. Kick Ass is, to my mind, Romita's best work and it's a true example of a book where you honestly couldn't imagine another artist taking it on. Old Man Logan is amazing but it's hard to bet against a man when a character he designed is on the side of every bus in the western hemisphere.
Interestingly Fegredo's nomination makes it two nominations for he and Jonathan Ross's Turf, an impressive feat for a relatively small book.
Edit – Ducan Fegredo is, of course, the current artist on Hellboy and not Turf. That honour belongs to Tommy Lee Edwards. I shall now go read Ultimates 3 six times as penance for the error.
BTB Pick: Best Artist - John Romita Jr.
Best Series
Well with two nominations in one category, you've got to favour Morrison here, but I have a feeling that Walking Dead may just sneak it. Batman and Robin has been fantastic this year but a lot of people are still having a little trouble buying Dick Grayson as the caped crusader and the lack of jumping on points for new readers could hurt the series chances. Add into that the fact that the awards are being decided by an online poll and you have to give the edge to the web darling that is Kirkman's zombie-opus.
Batman Inc surprised me a little bit with its nomination here. It's groundbreaking for sure, but it's also pulled a lot of flak for being too similar to some of Morrison's earlier work on X-Men and I'm surprised to see it edging out books like Secret Avengers and Invincible Iron Man.
Avengers sells a lot of books, but I suspect that most of those sales are to people who, like me, just want to stay abreast of what's happening in the Marvel universe. It consistently pulls in the lowest ratings from critics of all the Avengers titles and, while it's an entertaining read, I just don't see it competing with the other nominees in this category.
BTB Pick for Best Series - The Walking Dead
Best Superhero or SciFi Movie
Scott Pilgim
I was really surprised when I looked at this list because I'd honestly forgotten just how good a year it's been for comic book movies. I'd happily see any one of these walk off with a prize but I have a feeling that three of the contenders are going to resent the "SciFi" part of the category title. Simply put, Inception is just in a different class to its rivals here. As awesome as the other three are, Chris Nolan's masterpiece simply outshines them. Heck it outshines pretty much every movie of any type released this year.
Again though, Internet fans can be a strange bunch and I wouldn't put it past a hardcore contingent of Pilgrim or Kick-Ass fans to get together and pull off a coup. Not that that would be a terrible thing. Inception is set to clean house at the Oscars and has already made more money than the gdp of a small country, in the face of that it might be nice to see a true comic book movie take the prize.
BTB Pick for best film - Inception
Best Trade
Sweet Tooth Vol.1
Dark X-Men
Fantastic Four – Solve Everything
It's hard to see anything edging out Blackest Night in this category. Dark X-Men has a decent slice of fans but on the whole I think that Blackest Night is just too high profile to overcome. That said, Blackest Night could run into problems due the fact that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense by itself and relies on you buying two or three other trades in order to get the whole story (seriously DC, would it kill you to just do a Messiah Complex and organize the issues by when they happen rather than by which book they happened in?) but ultimately I think it'll take it. To be fair on Blackest Night, it's one of the better crossovers in recent years so I think it's fair that it pulls some recognition.
Sweet Tooth is a great book but it doesn't have the fanbase to win a poll like this. Bet on it only if you're feeling very lucky.
BTB Pick for Best Trade - Blackest Night
Best Limited Series or Story Arc
Batman & Robin Must Die
Avengers Prime
I've been reading a lot of praise for Dr Strange as of late, but I really can't see anything on this list which I'd consider a serious challenger to Batman & Robin Must Die. Morrison's reworking of the Dynamic Duo has just been issue upon issue of solid gold and this arc is no exception.
Brightest Day does have its moments and I wouldn't put it past a few hardcore fans to try and throw a spanner into the works here, but ultimately I think the title's just been a bit too hit and miss. Let's face it, 52 it ain't.
BTB Pick for Best Story Arc - Batman & Robin Must Die
That's all for today. Pop back tomorrow for the rest of the list and more hot tips from your chums in the Bunker.

See Inside Louis Vuitton's Tambour Twenty Timepiece: Only 200 Made
blogs/tag/alessandra-adams blogs/tag/alessandra-adams | September 8, 2022 | Watches & Jewelry
Bold, Innovative and strong, the Louis Vuitton Tambour timepiece is celebrating its 20th anniversary with an exclusive anniversary model of the classic watch—and it comes in a very limited quantity.
The legendary French fashion house first released its Tambour timepiece design in 2002, and the style has continued to revolutionize its newer models for every coming season.

With an elegant take on masculinity, the Tambour has long been a chance to push the state of watchmaking forward.
The Tambour Spin Time, released in 2009, changed the game of how time was displayed. In 2011, La Fabrique Temps in Geneva began collaborating with Louis Vuitton to create more pieces. That led to the 2014 launch of the Tambour Evolution, the 2016 Tambour Slim, and the 2017 Tambour Moon.
All this innovation and evolution culminates in the newest anniversary edition, the Tambour Twenty.
The limited model poses all the characteristics and functions of its predecessors while boasting a few additional features. The Tambour Twenty is flared in shape bearing the same recognizable case as previous models. This time around, the face is a little larger at 41.5 mm compared to its original 39.5 mm face.
Like the original 2002 model, this watch is engraved across the numbers and indexes. This edition will have nods to threads historically used in leatherwork and the classic features of the watches' past models.
The Tambour Twenty is water resistant up to 100 meters, and tells time with high-frequency movement inspired by the first automatic chronograph ever, the Zenith El Primero. The 22-carat gold rotor 50 hours of stored power creates an exact time measure up to the tenth of a second.
With only 200 models in production, this is definitely a collectors item.
The special model includes an engraving on the caseback and is available with a miniature trunk in Monogram canvas. The two items are a tribute to Louis Vuitton's travel legacy.
"To me, as well as celebrating our anniversary, this watch also paves the way for many future decades of fine watchmaking," says Jean Arnault, Marketing and Development Director for Louis Vuitton watches, "staying true to Louis Vuitton's values of creativity, craftsmanship and excellence."

One of our waitstaff was recently forced to engage in a particularly distasteful acitivity known as a business trip. We ourselves have never been forced to participate in one of these, but on the few occasions when one of our waitstaff does, it's usually greeted with a heavy sigh and many promises to return quickly. These events usually require only a few days, and there is much joy when the trip comes to an end. There are any number of reasons for this happiness, not least of which is the appearance of gifts for those of us who remained at home.
This most recent trip was to New York City and managed to include a visit to one of our favorite places, Brooklyn. There's a lot of great things to be found in Brooklyn, including one of our favorite chocolatiers, Jacques Torres. A native of Southern France, Jacques found his passion for chocolate early in life. His amazing talent led to an invitation to serve as the executive pastry chef at the famed Le Cirque restaraunt in 1989, a title he joyfully held for 11 years.
In 2000, Jacques began his next odyssey, opening his own chocolate shop in downtown Brooklyn, in an up an coming neighborhood known as DUMBO. Torres was determined to have total control over his chocolate manufacturing. With that in mind, he set up his facility so that he could process the cacao beans that he personally selected for production.
That dedication paid off, and Jacques Torres chocolates now includes seven shops and one 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Brooklyn. The original location, however, is still our waitstaff's favorite spot, and after partaking of some delicious confections on-site, our human wisely remembered to purchase some delicacies for those still at home as well. So this recent weekend was spent indulging in light-as-air macaroons, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookies, and, of course, a variety of chocolates that can do some pretty amazing things for one's taste buds.
And what to enjoy with this lovely bounty? Based on the recommendation of a good friend, we tested a bottle of Vin Santo with our chocolate, rather than the old vine red wine we usually enjoy. Vin Santo is an Italian dessert wine, made from grapes that have been dried for months before being processed. And it's a long and complicated process. The result, however, is remarkable.
Vin Santo's are sweet and thick, but like many traditional wines, always carefully balanced. It's just heavy enough to coat your mouth but you need not fear the dreaded cough syrup effect – this is slow and soothing and yummy, yummy. Our bottle was from Isole e Olena in Tuscany and it was an excellent match for the chocolate. Sweet, yet not overpowering, a careful balance of apricot and caramel that blended and fused with the powerful chocolate. Separately, they are delicious. Together, it was a symphony of incredible flavors.
The only downside – Vin Santo's are not always easy to come by, a result of the time-consuming process of making this wine. If you have an opportunity, however, it should not be missed. Vin Santo, chocolate, it's a perfect pairing.
Next And After the High….

I can't figure out what i am missing. I am working on Xcode6 and developing for ios8.
Questions Viewed:
Adding dictionaries to Plist programmatically
Appending data to PLIST - iPhone
and many more

A: You can write files to the application bundle but really you shouldn't to do this. You'll break code signing, and your app will no longer start. You should use the established conventions such as writing to Library or Documents folder of your app. Look at this SO for how: Get file path by file name from documents directory ios

A: Finally i did it::
First open AppDelegate.m and In DidFinishLoading Section Write this code:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Override point for customization after application launch.

NSArray *folder = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask,YES);

NSString *dir = [folder objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *path =[dir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"name.plist"];

NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

if([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:path]==NO)
{
    NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"name" ofType:@"plist"];
    [fileManager copyItemAtPath:bundlePath toPath:path error:nil];
}

return YES;
}

Now ViewController.m

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

NSArray *folder = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask,YES);

NSString *dir = [folder objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *path = [dir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"name.plist"];

NSMutableDictionary *plist_names = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:path];

NSMutableArray *names = [plist_names objectForKey:@"Names"];

NSLog(@"%@",[names objectAtIndex:1]);

[names addObject:@"jkl"];

NSLog(@"%@",[names objectAtIndex:2]);

 [ plist_names setObject:names forKey:@"Names"];

Background: Long non-coding RNA growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) is deregulated in many cancers because of its role in cell growth arrest and apoptosis. Additionally, GAS5 interacts with glucocorticoid receptor, making it a potential pharmacotranscription marker of glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. In this study, we aimed at analysing GAS5 expression in the remission induction therapy phase of childhood acute lympho blastic leukemia (ALL), in which GCs are mandatorily used, and to correlate it with therapy response.
Methods: GAS5 expression was measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells taken from 29 childhood ALL patients at diagnosis, on day 15 and day 33 of remission induction therapy using RT-qPCR methodology.
Results: Our results have shown interindividual differences in GAS5 expression at all time points. For each ALL patient, GAS5 expression was higher on day 15 in comparison to its level at diagnosis (p<0.0005). On day 33, the level of GAS5 expression decreased in comparison with day 15 (p<0.0005), but it was still significantly higher than at diagnosis for the majority of patients (p=0.001). Patients whose number of blasts on day 8 was below 100 per μL of peripheral blood had a higher GAS5 expression at diagnosis (p=0.016), and lower ratio day 15/diagnosis (p=0.009).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that the expression level of GAS5 could be a potential marker of therapy response in remission induction therapy of childhood ALL.

Platinum Evara's latest collection for women who make the rare choice to RiseWithGrace
January 20,2022 - Precious Platinum
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 18 (ANI/NewsVoir): Billions of years ago a meteorite crash left behind remnants of precious white metal – 'Platinum'! Born of the stars, platinum is found in extremely limited quantities on Earth and is 30 times rarer than gold, adding a whole new dimension of exclusivity to this precious metal.
Rarity, strength, endurance are key attributes that this metal is known for and make it the perfect match for the young women of today. These are the qualities that have held us in good stead through these trying times and young women mirror them. In this past year and as we move forward, they have been a shining example of these aspirational qualities, a beacon of hope for all.
Through some really difficult times, they have navigated their way forward by rising to the occasion with grace. Staying rooted in their values, standing strong, being resilient while spreading optimism, compassion, and empathy where it was needed the most. Whether we look at Jacinda Arden or many more examples back home in an extraordinary year, they came through.
In a time where humankind witnessed new challenges, experienced a new level of chaos, a few women chose to act with courage, find the strength within, hold the ones they care about close, with compassion and empathy. They stepped up to live with resilience as the crisis consumed a world, they were so familiar with, paving newer paths and creating a brighter tomorrow.
And so true to the role they played, and the beliefs they held close, the latest collection of Platinum Evara takes inspiration from the cosmic phenomenon of a supernova, the explosion of a star. Creating bright, all-encompassing, brimming sources of energy. Not very different from the modern woman who in her own way is a source of energy, positivity, and possibilities.
The design palette is a mix of facets, disruptive lines and frames that create an illusion of volume. Along with defining edges, enveloping, and refracting forms. Angular, edgy, and yet dimensionally fluid with circular forms, curves and grooves, each design in the collection is a fitting homage to a woman who rises with grace, every single time. The pieces range from statement platinum rings, intricately designed platinum necklaces, and even stunning essential jewellery like earrings and bracelets.
The collection has been unveiled by six popular style icons, showcasing their favourite picks from the collection and styling tips with the pieces. The women leading a distinctive style coalition include leading lifestyle influencer and entrepreneur Masoom Minawala, celebrity stylist Sanjana Batra, luxury lifestyle influencer Aayushi Bangur, South Indian actresses Mrinalini Ravi and Nikki Galrani and Yoga guru Pradaini Surva. The content captures myriad ways to style the new collection, showcasing the versatility of the pieces that are sure to elevate every single look. Platinum Evara Earrings
An interesting collaboration with Vogue to celebrate the campaign theme of #RiseWithGrace pushes this initiative a notch higher. Through a video, Priyanka Kapadia – Fashion Director at Vogue, celebrates the rare spirit of women who continue to stand tall against all odds. As part of the collaboration, she will also host an Instagram live session with the audience, highlighting her top 10 picks and style tips.
Here are a few of our favourite picks in the meantime and what they signify for the modern women of today:
Breaking away from their path and starting all over again, these diamond-studded platinum arcs signify her courage to step away from what's familiar and doesn't align with her values. It represents the way she upholds everything she believes in, even if at times that means letting go of a path that doesn't feel true to her.
Staying rooted yet branching out seamlessly, these leaves emerge from a diamond-studded stem. These earrings mimic her journey of moving towards new horizons while staying centered in courage.
Symbols resilience, these diamond-studded squares represent her compassion in testing times. The band moving through them signifies the way she steers through every bend in the road.
Held together by a platinum band, the two contrasting triangles portray yin and yang – reflecting the way she holds herself together through the good times and bad. The diamond-studded hexagonal motifs opening up reflect how she emerges stronger from it all, ready to take anything on.

Platinum Guild International (PGI) is a marketing organisation with the vision to develop the global platinum jewellery market as a new demand source for platinum. It was formed in 1975 with specialist teams dedicated to growing the global platinum jewellery market through consumer and trade-facing programmes in the four key jewellery markets of China, India, Japan and USA. Since then, jewellery development has demonstrated a strong track record in delivering results.
Through various programmes, both direct-to-consumer and in collaboration with jewellery retailers and manufacturers, PGI creates consumer ounce demand by first identifying opportunities for platinum in jewellery, and then developing them with partners. It also aims to build an enduring commitment to platinum in jewellery.
PGI's consumer marketing and educational programmes are focused on developing awareness and an appreciation for platinum's unique properties as a precious metal for fine jewellery.
In addition, PGI works globally with collaborative partners running extensive marketing programmes in the four main platinum jewellery markets of China, Japan, USA and India. These markets are staffed with experts in strategic planning, marketing, retail, design and business development.
Since 2015 PGI has been headquartered in Hong Kong. PGI is funded by the leading platinum producers of South Africa, as well as through co-funded programmes with the jewellery industry.
PGI has partnered with TUV India Pvt Ltd to implement a robust audit programme to ensure the purity of platinum under its programme. TUV is one of the country's first certification bodies and has been closely associated with the quality revolution in India.
Under Platinum Guild India's quality assurance programme, each individual piece of jewellery has an assured purity as high as 95 per cent. And as a proof of this assurance, every piece is stamped 'Pt950' and comes with a tamper-proof quality assurance card that distinguishes authentic platinum from other jewellery.
A Unique Identification Number is also stamped on the jewellery in addition to the detailed description of the piece you choose for yourself. Our quality assurance programme is in place to ensure transparency and that the platinum the consumer buys is of the highest quality. After all, that is what true value is all about.

Sponsors of this year's annual CaribHRForum's electronic survey expect to reach over 3000 Human Resource Professionals across the CARICOM region this year, easily becoming the most wide-spread effort to gather information from a single profession.
The 2008 survey which was released on Monday September 15th, 2008, focuses on the single topic of regional HR conferences and the role they play in bringing together HR professionals.
It is being conducted by a volunteer team at CaribHRForum, the online forum that was formed in 2003 by Francis Wade, a management consultant who recently moved home to the Caribbean.
CaribHRForum, with over 200 members, is the largest professional networking group of its kind that is built on cyber-services such as a discussion list, a blog on CaribHRForum.com and a news ezine – CaribHRNews.
conversation on the industrial relations climate in the region is still generating some sparks after more than a week," said Wade.
It was another hot conversation on CaribHRForum that provided the theme for this year's survey. While Jamaica has the largest conference each year, with some 500 participants, there are other territories in the region that don't even have an organization formed. Many are unaware that conferences and organizations like CaribHRForum exist and end up practicing in isolation from their colleagues.
In an interesting article entitled Can Freeconomics Work in African Markets?[Part 1] by Jonathan Gosier, the author makes the point that African business people are learning the value of giving away items for free in order to gain customer loyalty.
It's as if he were describing the Caribbean.
He talks about how tough economic conditions lead business-people to a short-term, gimme now mentality, that works against their success.
I am launching a message board for everyone who has received the e-book, to act as a place for Caribbean professionals to meet and greet others who are also interested in expanding their networking skills.
http://fwconsulting.com/newnetworking and you will receive the instructions a few days after receiving the e-book.
I want to remind you that my e-book "The New Networking: Caribbean Professionals 2008" is still available for download for free.
Simply visit the following page and you can claim your own electronic copy within a few minutes. You'll be joining over 200 other Caribbean professionals who have requested the e-book.
Thanks for being a part of my network!
P.S If you act quickly, you might be able to take advantage of a free offer I am making to take my 12-week online time-management programme valued at over US$50. The offer expires at the end of September, and will be sent to you 3-4 few days after you receive the e-book. I am limiting the number, so act quickly if you have an interest.
I just came across an interesting article describing a survey showing that 40% of job-seekers say they lack the networking skills they need to find a new job.
Not surprisingly, hiring almost all managers agreed.
We sent you this Digest because we believe that you have an interest in topics of interest to Caribbean executives. Please pass it on to others who would appreciate the information it covers. To discontinue receipt, see instructions at the bottom of this edition.
This issue addresses the skill of networking here in the Caribbean. What is the downfall of having a networking that hardly extends beyond national boundaries? What is the benefit of having one that is not just large, but is also far-reaching?
The New Networking (e-book): Click at left… just in case you have not received my free 37 page multimedia text on the new way to use the internet to build a Caribbean network. If you have already claimed your copy, use the form on the page to tell your friends — after all, sharing solid information is one of the easiest ways I recommend you use to build your network.
CaribHRForum (discussion list): CaribHRForum is a discussion list for HR professionals that has almost 200 members, and acts as the sole meeting place between conferences held twice a year. Click the "Join" tab to see the easy instructions on how to join the list.
Google Yourself (search): Go ahead — see what is being said about you on the internet. I was startled to find that I had been rated quite poorly by an anonymous disgruntled, former student. Apparently, a namesake of mine was also indicted for stealing (pick-pocketing) in 1832 on April 10th (my actual birthday.) Click here to see the proceedings. My point here is that someone out there is defining who you are for the world, and this might be helping or hindering your ability to network. Read my networking e-book above to see what you can do about this recent fact of professional life.
There's a great deal happening at my time management website: http://2time-sys.com. Click here to be taken to the blog page.

The Jamaican proverb "Every Mikkle Mek a Mukkle" summarizes a powerful idea that Caribbean executives would do well to contemplate.
I have observed that we have many companies in the region founded on great ideas, and possessing wonderful goals. However, when it comes to the minute details of execution, our grasp far exceeds our reach.
For example, I have stayed in many hotel-rooms across the region, but very few are able to provide the kind of details in their infrastructure that are the signatures of an excellent company. It might be the cracks along the ceiling, the uneven floor, the cement left along the grouting or the broken chair in the room.
In restaurants, it's the filthy restrooms, the scuffed walls or the beaten up menus that have twice as many items as the restaurant actually has available.
In many companies, you call to do business with them and the phone just rings and rings without an answer.
When they occur, none of these cases is a "deal-breaker" that could cause one to leave and seek lodging or a meal elsewhere.
Instead, we get used to the low standard, as our companies continue to "train" their customers to expect no better. In a prior issue of FirstCuts, I spoke about the way in which employees of companies in our region give each other "blighs" (allowances) that allow poor standards to continue, because it's simply easier to overlook seemingly small issues rather than to confront them.
I also wrote about how Caribbean managers could improve their time management skills, and how executives could work to restore promises that have been broken in the past.
While these may all seem to be small issues by themselves, the cumulative effective is tremendous.
Companies struggle for reasons that they cannot pinpoint, and are incorrect in thinking that a single bullet fired at the right spot will cure all their problems and move them to higher performance.
Instead, they must learn to inspire their workers to devote themselves to individual, private, invisible excellence that may never be publicly rewarded.
An old-fashioned mechanical clock is a useful metaphor. There is no way for a clock to keep proper time if a single cog is out of alignment with the others. It might add or take away a small fraction of a second each day, but the overall effect is that it renders the clock ineffective, as reflected on its face.
The success of what shows up on the face depends on what happens with the moving parts inside, and this is what managers seem not to grasp. They allow seemingly "small things" to accumulate into big problems, and by the time the big problem is fully experienced, many simply give up.
It's up to them to lead the way, by example, and demonstrate that being professional means to tend to every task with a kind of dedication and excellence that is often missing.

Mar 2019: My daughter has lived at the Standard since it opened. The staff has been very accommodating. We chose this location for its amenities, close proximity to the university and because we felt there was a lot of retail and restaurant choices within walking distance.
Mar 2019: I've lived here since the Standard opened and I have had a a great experience so far. My favorite amentity would have to be the pool, it's enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere makes it a great place to hangout with friends. This is the second time I've renewed my lease. It's great to be able to walk everywhere and so convenient to be so close to campus, Target and Publix!
Aug 2018: Like in all campus apartments there are residents who don't care if they spill things or drop garbage in the hallways. The Standard housekeeping staff is doing a much better job at keeping public areas clean and in good repair from when the building first opened last year. Front desk staff have been helpful to me and since Target, hotel, and the restaurants have opened downstairs the parking situation has improved for those who aren't paying for a spot.


A floor should be a smooth and level surface. In a commercial and industrial setting, it is imperative that a floor is not only level but robust and easy to clean too. It should easily be capable of withstanding high traffic and use.

School Mascot: Panther
School Colors: Green and Black
Patrick School, as do four other elementary schools in Hampton, has an architectural design with classrooms built around an open courtyard. We take great pride in the fact that a tall majestic sycamore tree whose seeds traveled into space with the Apollo 14 Space Mission continues to grow in our courtyard. Patrick Elementary is formerly known as Booker Elementary.
We are proud to share that we were the winning school to get sycamore seeds to plant due to Marjorie White's, a sixth grade student in 1976, winning poem. Our "moon tree' seeds were planted in the courtyard by students on Arbor Day, April 30, 1976.
We are very pleased with the leadership that has been provided by our past and present administrators. Our students, parents, and staff members strive to show their "Panther Pride" in all of their endeavors.

AMD Stock Analysis: Up 12.66% Increase Since Our Bullish Article
AMD Stock Analysis
I Know First wrote an article about Advanced Micro Devices with a bullish algorithmic forecast from June 10th, 2015. In the less than two weeks since the article was published, the stock price has increased 12.66% in accordance with the bullish fundamental and algorithmic forecast.
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) is a global semiconductor company. Its stock price has fallen roughly 43% in the last year, and the company looked like it was facing some daunting challenges. The declining PC market, from which the company gets most of its revenue, has been a burden in recent years, and the company has lacked a focus. It had become clear to everyone that the company's prior strategy was not sustainable, as the company has not been profitable since 2011. Now, the company is trimming its operating costs while sharpening its focus in specific markets.
After the drop of the stock over the past year, we see that AMD stock has increased since May 31st – which the one week forecast from that precise date predicted. AMD had a signal strength of 11.09 and a predictability indicator of 0.36 for this forecast. In the following week, the stock price increased 2.19% as foreseen by the algorithm. Moreover, in May the company reported $0.24 earnings per share (EPS) which is higher than the $0.16 EPS consensus. Also, for the first quarter, the revenue of the firm came to $208.05 million which is also greater than the consensus.
According to the algorithm, the increase in AMD stock over the past three weeks is most certainly not a short blip in the overall decline in AMD and investors should remain bullish in the long run too. The three month algorithmic forecast from June 1oth has a signal strength of 54.37 and a predictability indicator of 0.44, whilst the yearly forecast has a signal strength of 62.92 and a predictability indicator of 0.47. If positive performances by AMD in recent weeks are an indication of the future, then the algorithm is destined to be spot on with it's AMD predictions.
By narrowing its focus, the company can now spend its money on the markets where it can grow market share and draw substantial profits from in the future. The currently undervalued AMD had tremendous upside potential if the current reformations and restructuring of the company are carried out effectively and efficiently. Not withstanding, the next earnings report will still be uninspiring, but that is already factored into the stock price. Starting in the second half of the year, the stock should start rising as the company returns to profitability increases its market share in high-growth areas
Before making any trading decisions, consult the latest forecast as the algorithm constantly updates predictions daily. While the algorithm can be used for intra-day trading the predictability tends to become stronger with forecasts over longer time-horizons such as the 1-month, 3-month and 1-year forecasts.

BC Court Rules on Signing Away Your Reasonable Expectation of Privacy
Canadian privacy law has long been reliant on the principle of "reasonable expectation of privacy." The principle is particularly important with respect to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as the Supreme Court of Canada has held that the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure is grounded in a reasonable expectation of privacy in a free and democratic society.
The reasonable expectation of privacy standard provides a useful starting point for analysis, but the danger is that privacy rights can seemingly be lost with little more than a contractual provision indicating that the user has no privacy. Indeed, if privacy rights can disappear based on a sentence in a contract that few take the time to read (much less assess whether they are comfortable with), those rights stand on very shaky ground.
My weekly technology law column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) notes the limits of the reasonable expectation of privacy standard emerged in a recent British Columbia Court of Appeal case involving the search of a courier package that contained illegal drugs. The court rejected claims of an illegal search, concluding that the defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy despite the fact that he had no commercial relationship with the courier company and had never agreed to, or even viewed, the terms of the contract.

I need some help with this International Business class assignment. Can you at least give some direction? Thanks!
The company is a medium-sized, high-tech, surgical instrument manufacturer based in Scotland that has been in operation for about eighteen months. The UK market has only a small demand for it's products and so it must expand.
There are different factors to consider when deciding the best way in which a firm can undertake international expansion. One of the most important concerns the issue of 'psychic distance'. Psychic distance refers to the many factors that can interfere with the flow of information between the firm and its market. Typically, the greater the psychic distance, the more negative are the interfering factors. Some examples of factors that create psychic distance are language, national culture, political systems and business practices in the foreign market. Therefore, it is potentially easier for some firms to sell their product or service in countries that share many similar traits. An example of this would include businesses in the USA preferring to sell initially in the UK market, as opposed to the Mexican market. The reason for this would be the greater similarity in culture, language and political systems. A firm undertaking an internationalisation strategy for the first time could enter closer markets and use it as a learning experience before trying to enter markets that are psychologically more distant (Paliwoda and Thomas 1998, Czinkota and Ronkainen 2001).
With the element of psychic distance in mind, there are two main routes through which a firm may enter new markets. The first is the process of incremental expansion. Incremental expansion occurs after a firm has developed itself sufficiently in the domestic market and then makes commitments in a foreign market. Initially, the resource commitment is low, but increases gradually as more experiential knowledge is gained about the new market. This is thought to reduce market uncertainty (Johnson & Vahlne 1990). Creating networks within the new market is also very important in incremental expansion, thereby increasing the knowledge base and help the company can call upon. The type of industries where incremental expansion is observed is typically in consumer goods, such as clothing and food.
However, it has been recognised that there is another potential route for an SME to expand into a foreign market. It is possible for an SME to begin a process of internationalisation almost immediately from inception (Oviatt & McDougall 1994). In this situation, there is no incremental accumulation of knowledge about the foreign market and no gradual commitment of increased resources. In this form of non-incremental expansion, the firm starts selling its product in the foreign market almost as soon as the company is formed. The main driver for this is when the product is highly innovative or of complex technology and the domestic market is not big enough to support sales. Also, the company may wish to take immediate advantage of the product and sell in as many markets as possible, particularly if the technology will be easy to replicate (Oviatt and McDougall 1994). Again, the formation of networks in the foreign market is extremely important. In a recent qualitative investigation of the overseas expansion of technologically-driven SME's, Crick and Jones (1999) found that low psychic distance was not an important factor in entering foreign markets for these types of firm. Indeed, of more importance were global trends in technology markets and the ability to create networks.
For these reasons, the best form of international expansion for this company would be non-incremental. In the domestic market, demand for this niche product is small and must be exploited abroad to maximise revenues. As described above, this is a typical situation for a highly innovative, technological product. Again, psychic distance should not be an issue because factors like cultural differences would not apply to this product.
It has been outlined that the route for international expansion in this case will be via non-incremental growth. We will now look at the market and country(ies) in which to expand.
