I had another quality time with my wife on Sunday and of course I’ll share it with you. Quality in the sense of a nice, long and peaceful walk in our neighbourhood. It was a wonderful morning; partly cloudy, about 12C (54F) with crisp, fresh air. I brought my Nikon CoolPix camera with me so let me show you an example of the scenery – to get you into the right autumn mood (click all pics to enlarge and enjoy):

Autumn in Norway - Forest #1

My faithful readers know I love nature – to be out there and see, feel, smell and experience the beauty of the elements. Every season has its charm and for autumn, it’s the colour as the sign of the end of summer before nature goes into hibernation. Some feel its kind of sad – I think it’s a proof of the ecologic lifecycle and the fact that change makes an interesting variety in life.

So we walked and talked – about all and nothing. In the daily life with a hectic schedule, it’s important to have the chance to just be together, I think. To talk or walk in silence and to share moments of the beauty of natural elements:

Autumn in Norway - Forest #2

We talked about Blogsphere and our friends all around the world of course. As a matter of fact, this trip was also done so that we could show you our neighbourhood. We live in an Oslo suburb, just 15 minutes from the capital of Norway and here is an example from a street we passed:
Autumn in Norway - Oslo Suburb #4
Most of the houses are wooden as there is a lot of trees around you know.

The more we walked and looked around, the more interesting it got. We were thinking: We have to show our blog friends this and that. So as pictures say more than a thousand words, let’s start:
Autumn in Norway - Horses #1 Autumn in Norway - Horses #3
Horses at a farm.

Autumn in Norway - Bee House #1
Bee houses – honey is good and healthy you know!

Autumn in Norway - Cattles #1 Autumn in Norway - Cattles #4
Cattles in an open pasture – the same hill children learn skiing on in the winter time.

I can assure you; we had a wonderful time – really a great way to recharge our batteries – and took plenty of more pics too. I’ve found this way to share them all: A movee of how it is to walk around in the beauty of the golden fall one Sunday in Norway – enjoy:

Be sure your speakers are on – the music is ‘Morning Mood’ by the Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg.

  1. That was most enjoyable. Thanks for allowing me to go on your walk too. I loved the video and the music was awesome. I really liked the house with the big balcony. Great place to have dinner and some good wine with friends. Have a great day. Big hug to you and Diane. :)

    Glad you liked to walk along with us as well as the vid and Norwegian classic music.
    Diane and I was thinking the same when we saw the red house too :)
    Wishing you the same – tons of hugs back!

    We just had the warmest sunniest Thanksgiving ever…it was 28C for 2 days!

    Thanks Ruth and I do agree: Norway and Canada are twin countries!
    Belated Happy Thanksgiving!

  3. That was just lovely, Renny, and the music was just right for the video. But I love Greig’s music anyway. I am fascinated by where people live and love seeing around the various neighbourhoods. Thank you for that, Renny. It was most enjoyable

    Glad you liked it Robyn and of course you are welcome too.

  4. That is beautiful, Renny! Thanks, I really enjoyed it.

    I knew you would Maribeth :)

  5. It doesn’t get any better than this, Renny. Thanks for sharing my favourite season of the year…as YOU see it there in Norway!

    Awwww Ginnie, it my favourite too you know!

  6. Wow! The yellow leaves look lovely!

    Yea, they really do!

  8. I enjoyed “our” walk. What a lovely thing to share. If all these photos are from a walk in your neighbourhood you are very fortunate to live where you do. Tulsa, Oklahoma is in a warmer climate so our leaves are just beginning to turn but we will have nice colour before long. I will post them to my blog.

    I think a cloudy day is best for seeing colourful foliage. It makes the colours more intense. These are really wonderful pictures. Thank you.

    Glad you could walk along then and I’m looking forward to your post when the time comes.
    Maybe your right: we was hoping for more sun, but it turned out quite nice after all.

  9. As autumn makes me rather sad, I avoid to walk in the woods. I love these wooden houses, wood is such a good isolation against cold or warm.

    Sorry you feel it is sad, but happy you liked the houses then.

  12. I watched it as a slide show on your flickr and it was so stunning – the colours just jumped out at me. England has got different colours – not so strong I feel. Or maybe it’s just the imagination……

    Anyway, beautiful.

    How nice and you are so sophisticated in using Flickr. If you hunt for it, I’m sure you’ll find some in your neighbourhood too.

  13. Thank you so much Dear Renny…

    The universe is so good and great,
    God is made of love and faith,
    The stars will shine day and night,
    See the flowers, see the light..

    The water and the pure fresh air,
    The wind that you cant touch anywhere,
    The sky so green or blue,
    Please we care about you…

    The true love of our dearest God,
    Doesnt go against anybody,
    Please look at the waves in the sea,
    Believe in you, God and me,,,,

    Thank to the ones that can see the light… i dont post so many things about God because im not and expert about God!
    I just love God and every single creation made my God, the whole universe…

    God bless you all.
    Victor Marques

    Your welcome and thanks to you too.

  15. Loved that. Thank you.

    I can see how Edvard Grieg got inspired to write music the way he did. Makes me look look forward to visiting next month even more.

    Your welcome.
    Grieg was a very nationalistic composer you know.
    Your welcome to Norway and I hope we can meet!

  16. Hey Renny,

    Beautiful! Just beautiful! :D
    And I must confess that I admire your relationship with your wife…it’s so cute, and love pours all around you two :)!
    I too love talking with my husband about everything and nothing…and I do cherish those precious moments of silence!

    Autumn in Norway is gorgeous! And thanks for sharing your neighbourhood…it is beautiful!

    Have a great week, dear!

    Thanks :D
    It ad an extra dimension to experience this with the one you love you know!
    Wishing you a great one too!

  17. Such beautiful colours at this time of year. I love them! As someone said to me, it’s just summer changing its colour. I love all the different seasons, and I consider myself fortunate to live in countries where I can experience and enjoy the differences.

    Thanks A. I think we are two of a kind in a lot of ways.

  20. Beautiful, Renny! I think I recognize that stream in the woods from a Winter photo with snow on the ground, don’t I? I think you posted it back in the Winter….

    Your blog feed isn’t updating in my Bloglines to show you have new posts. I’ve even deleted your feed and resubscribed to it. There are a few more blogs that aren’t updating for me as well. I hope they fix the problem soon!

    Hope you’re having a great week, Renny. :-)

    Love and hugs,

    It’s not the same stream Diane, but the landscape is very similar – your so observant on all my posts.
    I use Google Reader instead and find it very useful.
    Hoping you have the same – bunches of hugs back to you :-)

  21. Thanks for sharing this lovely Sunday trip in our local area. It was a fun date just wandering around and remembering what a really nice place we live in. Thanks for inviting me here.

  48. Wow it is so beautiful and awesome, the beauty of nature during autumn and freshness of its colour rejuvenate ones mind.Lucky for you REnny to be living in such environment.I and my wife have been to Oslo in early June ’08 on our Scandinavian Tour .Its was hot during the day but cool in the evening.Anyway Oslo is a beautiful clean city, vibrants and interesting.I am from Singapore

  49. wonderful I was is Bergen and Oslo Aug 2009. We have just had confirmation , just this morning, that my husband and I and my daughter, are moving to Oslo in the spring march/april 2010. I am looking for property in the suburbs it looks fantastik

  50. hello there.
    i admire your autumn images.
    i live in sweden and planning to visit oslo this october during the autumn period. could you please advise me which week is the best where the plants, leaves, flowers and all change its colors. likewise some historical places to be visited.
    thank you very much . . .

    • Sorry I’m late replying!

      It’s hard to say, but normally the change of colours happens the first two weeks of October – if not close to the fjord, so at least up in the mountains.

      Oslo and the aria around have a lot of historical places, so it’s hard to pick out one or two. You can check around in my blog and also I recommend to brose around at http://www.visitoslo.no

      If you decide to come and visit, please send me a note and maybe we can meet up.

      Renny :-)

  51. What luscious colours! You live in a lovely quiet neighbourhood – just like me, outside Stockholm.

  52. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your time.

Booker Prize stresses 2019 winner remains undecided after bookshop error

Booker Prize stresses 2019 winner remains undecided after bookshop error

The Booker Prize has reassured readers the £50,000 literary award has “not yet been decided” – after a bookshop mistakenly branded copies of Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments with a “winner” sticker.

UCL lecturer Matt Sperling, author of Astroturf (Riverrun), spotted the mistake in a Booker Prize display and posted a now-deleted picture on Twitter. It is not known which bookshop made the error.  Sperling captioned the post: “Don’t think you were supposed to use those stickers yet, lads...”

The book was displayed next to Ducks, Newburyport (Galley Beggar) by Lucy Ellman, which was displayed with a “shortlisted" sticker. William Hill bookmakers have The Testaments at 2/1 to win, behind Ellman at 7/4, according to the Guardian.

Organisers of the Booker Prize said in a statement the 2019 winner will not be selected until mid-October. “We can confirm that the winner of the 2019 Booker Prize has not yet been decided, and will not be decided until the judges meet on 14 October 2019,” the statement read. “At shortlist stage for The Booker Prize, display packs including shortlist sticker sheets and a winner sticker sheet are provided to booksellers and libraries across the UK. It seems that in this case a winner rather than shortlist sticker has been mistakenly applied to The Testaments by Margaret Atwood."

The Booker Prize ceremony will take place on 14th October with The Testaments and Ducks, Newburyport facing competiton from Quichotte (Jonathan Cape) by former winner Salman RushdieElif Shafak's 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World (Viking), Bernardine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other (Hamish Hamilton) and An Orchestra of Minorities (Little Brown) by Chigozie Obioma. The shortlist was announced earlier this month.

What Every Parent Needs to Know About Autism

The 411 on autism, including possible causes, signs and treatments.

It’s been about 75 years since the first paper was published describing the signs of autism in children. But even as new findings continue to crop up, its causes and cures remain elusive, leaving parents as confused as ever. The autism statistics are also somewhat frightening and, some might argue, misleading. According to the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, published in 2016, the overall prevalence of autism in children in 2012 was 1 in 68. Back in 2000, the prevalence was only 1 in 150. The startling rise may simply be a matter of increased awareness, experts say, and a reflection of the condition’s broadened definition.

What Is Autism?

Simply put, “autism is a developmental disorder in which the child has problems with communication and social skills, and she may exhibit unusual behaviors,” says Georgina Peacock, MD, MPH, medical officer and developmental-behavioral pediatrician with the CDC’s National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities in Atlanta. Some babies become overly focused on a certain toy; others might fail to engage in eye contact or to babble with their parents.

But there’s nothing one-type-fits-all about autism—hence, the term autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which acknowledges the wide range of the condition, from mild autism, in which a child might be able to hold a conversation with peers, to severe autism, where he might not be able to talk at all. The most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) broadened the ASD diagnosis to include, for instance, Asperger’s syndrome, which was once a separate condition but is now considered to be a high-functioning autism. Children with autism exhibit two main characteristics: 1.) a hard time communicating and interacting with others at an age-appropriate level, and 2.) restricted, repetitive behavior. Each of these areas can also vary in severity—for instance, a child may show very little repetitive behavior and yet have an extremely hard time with social interactions.

What Causes Autism?

We’ve come a long way since researchers wrongly blamed “refrigerator mothers,” back in the 1950s, for the development of autism in children. And while doctors are still unclear as to the causes of autism, they have noticed interesting correlations and have formulated plenty of theories:

Genetic risk factors
“Is autism genetic?” has been a question that doctors often hear, and, based on scientific evidence, the answer is most likely. There is a strong hereditary link—for infants who have a sibling with autism, the risk of developing the disorder is much higher than for those without an affected sibling. Because boys are 4.5 times more likely than girls to develop autism, some researchers suspect the influence of sex chromosomes and, subsequently, the impact of hormones in utero (though so far nothing has been proven). About 10 percent of kids with autism also have certain genetic conditions such as Down syndrome and fragile x.

Environmental risk factors
Experts believe that some people may have a genetic predisposition for autism, which, in turn, makes them susceptible to the condition depending on certain environmental circumstances. One factor under investigation is a pregnant woman’s exposure to pesticides and phthalates—chemicals that can interfere with brain development. A mother’s use of antidepressants—specifically, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)—during the last six months of pregnancy has also been associated with elevated risks. It’s still unclear, however, exactly how high a risk these factors pose and more research needs to be done. In the meantime, would-be mothers can take a proactive but not paranoid approach: “If you are trying to get pregnant, talk to your doctor and weigh the risks and benefits of remaining on certain medications (such as SSRIs), use natural cleaners when possible and eat healthy foods,” says Rebecca Landa, PhD, director of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore.

Vaccines and Autism

Do vaccines cause autism? The response from major scientific organizations—including the CDC and the Institute of Medicine—is no. The 1998 Lancet article that first proposed a connection between MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccines and autism was retracted in 2010 because the author was found to be biased. Multiple papers, including a 2014 Vaccine journal review paper, laid the issue to rest by reporting that there’s no association between the two at all. As Paulo Pina, MD, director of ambulatory pediatrics at St. Barnabas Hospital in Bronx, NY, explains: “There is no increased rate of autism in children who have had the vaccine compared to those who have not.” Nor is the mercury or antigens found in vaccines to blame, he adds. Mercury has been taken out of the typical childhood vaccines since 2001, and vaccines today contain a much smaller amount of antigens compared to those of years past. While some pediatricians will, upon request, adjust your child’s immunization schedule so that she doesn’t receive as many shots at once, you can rest assured that it’s okay simply to follow the CDC’s recommended vaccine schedule for babies.

Signs of Autism

How and when the signs of autism become apparent varies from child to child. Children with autism may seem to develop according to schedule in the first few months or years of life but then slow down, when certain skills may diminish or unusual behaviors may become more noticeable. It’s always prudent for parents to get their child checked out as soon as they suspect something isn’t right, Landa says.

To figure out if something is “off,” familiarize yourself with the typical developmental milestones. Babies typically coo or babble by 2 months; by 18 months, a child should be able to say a few single words, and by 2 years, she should be able to say a few couple-word phrases. Peacock recommends checking out “ Milestone Moments,” a CDC-developed pamphlet that’s available on the organization’s website.

Remember, though, the signs of autism don’t necessarily reveal themselves in babies, even though parents can often sense if a child is responding to them or not. “Most don’t receive a diagnosis until after age one, when children start communicating with others,” Pina says.
The signs of autism in toddlers, preschoolers and beyond can vary widely. Common autism symptoms include:

  • Constantly repeating words and phrases.
  • Little to no eye contact.
  • Becoming easily upset by minor changes in routine.
  • Hand flapping, body rocking, head banging or other repetitive motions.
  • Obsessive focus on moving objects or parts of objects.
  • Not responding when mom or dad calls their name or otherwise tries to get their attention.

Of course, says Pina, “kids might exhibit any one of these behaviors during childhood and they’re fine, so it’s important to take things into context.” Children with autism will show a combination of these behaviors, which doctors would then assess further. “The one thing I worry about most,” Pina says, “is the little interactions—when a child comes into my office and doesn’t respond or look at me at all, and it’s not clear whether he’s shy or he’s simply not paying attention.”

Landa points out that in some children, parents don’t pick up signs of atypical development until age 4 or 5. For these kids, who can be diagnosed with high-functioning autism, symptoms are noticed only when they get into school and begin to have social difficulties.

Experts recommend keeping a diary of your child’s behavior (do this with the Notes feature on your phone, so you can jot things down as they happen throughout the day), or even videotape certain worrisome behaviors so doctors can get a real glimpse into any red flags.
The more your doctor knows about your child’s specific challenges (and strengths), the better he can prescribe targeted therapies, even before he can make a diagnosis for autism.

How Is Autism Diagnosed?

Currently, there’s no brain scan that can tell you if your child is on the autism spectrum—no autism test, per se. Behavioral assessment is an ongoing process. The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends autism screening for all kids at 18 and 24 months, in addition to regularly evaluating a child’s development during checkups. To do this, most doctors use the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT), which assesses your child’s risk for autism, based on answers for a set of yes and no questions, such as: “Does your child play pretend or make-believe?” and “Does your child point with one finger to show you something interesting?”

Your doctor will also work to rule out other possible causes of any developmental delays, such as poor hearing. If she detects something unusual, she might refer your child to a specialist—such as a developmental pediatrician, neurologist or child psychologist. These experts will take a closer look into difficulties your child might have with communication or social interactions; they may also better assess any repetitive and unusual behavior. If your child meets the diagnostic criteria listed for autism in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, she can be eligible for therapies and services created specifically for kids with autism.

In the future, we may have more reliable diagnostic tools. For instance, early research suggests that children with autism have unusual species or imbalances of gut bacteria, and this information could someday turn into a screening tool.

As for now, kids can often be reliably diagnosed by age 2, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. If doctors can intervene when the child is very young and the brain is still developing, she’ll be likelier to show more meaningful improvements and carry what she learns well into adulthood.

Treatment for Autism

Early interventions can help improve the developmental issues associated with autism, but be skeptical about “magic fixes.” Just because something seems to work for one kid doesn’t mean it will work for yours.

The CDC divides treatments for autism into the four general categories below. Discuss with your doctor which therapies or combination of therapies you’d like to pursue. “We work with parents to determine what’s safe and what might work best for their child,” Pina says.

Behavior and communication approaches. This includes speech as well as behavioral therapies. As Pina notes, these treatments for autism have the most scientific evidence for being effective. Autism in toddlers and school-age children is often treated with intervention programs based on some form of applied behavior analysis, which incorporates play-based interactions and helps kids with autism learn social cues.

Medication. The FDA has approved two drugs to treat autism-related irritability: risperidone and aripiprazole. But while they have shown to help quell tantrums and improve sociability in children with autism, they can come with serious side effects, including weight gain due to increased appetite, hormonal changes and in some cases involuntary movements. According to Autism Speaks, a nonprofit advocacy organization, it’s also common practice to prescribe antipsychotics approved for other conditions to treat certain autism symptoms, although these medicines have not been well studied in individuals with autism. As with any treatment, not all users will respond in the same way, or they may not respond at all.

Diet. Some parents are convinced that a gluten-free or probiotic eating plan can help improve symptoms. Some try to eliminate casein, a protein found in dairy products. So far, Pina says, there hasn’t been any conclusive scientific evidence that these programs work, though, when approached cautiously and with help from your doctor, they may be worth trying coupled with behavioral therapies.

Complementary and alternative medicine. This is where the claims that sound too good to be true often come in. Everything from supplements to detoxes has been used. Again, there isn’t strong scientific evidence that any of these work, but you and your doctor may decide what might make sense to pursue. Landa advises that it’s best to start with the tried-and-true behavioral therapies first, and then, if success is limited, build from there. “If you start all the therapies at once, you won’t know what’s actually working,” she says.

Can Autism Be Cured?

Scientists have yet to find a cure for autism, though, as Pina points out, there are instances where children who couldn’t talk at all have, after a year or more, eventually learned to interact with others, thanks to early intervention. No doubt, the right treatment program can greatly improve the outlook for most kids on the autism spectrum.

Pina notes that whatever tact you take, it’s important to get the entire family involved. “It’s stressful for the family, but it’s also stressful for the child with autism,” Pina says. As a parent, it’s important to understand that this is who your child is and to learn how to interact with your child just as he is learning to interact with you.”

This brings us to another question: “Does autism actually need to be ‘cured’?” Rather than treating autism as a disease and changing children with autism to fit “typical” behavior in the world, parents of children with autism would like to see society expand the concept of acceptable behavior.

Landa notes that this viewpoint doesn’t necessarily preclude treatment. “Good educational and behavioral interventions are not aimed at changing who a child is, but at helping children reach their highest potential, giving them as many options in life as possible,” she says. And if someday the world becomes a more neurodiverse place, then all the better.

Whatever your perspective, look for local support groups for parents of kids with autism. By meeting other parents of children with autism, you can share your experiences. “Just hearing another parent say, ‘My child does this too’ helps to normalize your experience and release some of that stress,” Pina says. More importantly, you’ll discover new information and new research, as well as find opportunity to work with other parents to make your community a better place for your child.

MOVA Cycling Jacket

The team at The Coolector are true urbanites who value the utility of the humble bicycle. Lightweight and reliable, our trusty steel steeds usually get us from point A to point B in less time than other forms of transportation — and has us break a sweat while we do so.

Despite all its benefits, riding bikes through the urban jungle is serious business. To ensure safety, the responsible cyclist has to be outfitted for the challenges of the road and the many cars and other obstacles on it. That’s where the MOVA Cycling Jacket comes in.

A Functional Solution

The MOVA Cycling Jacket effortlessly combines form and function as a reversible jacket with a collection of thoughtful design touches. Up top, an integrated hood fits snugly over any type of helmet while its under-the-arm zippers let riders freshen up with the help of cool breezes.

It also sports multiple pockets with room for the important stuff: Its traditional side pockets are cavernous, its wide back pocket is perfect for a wallet, a water bottle, and a few other knick-knacks while a secret pocket on its sleeve allows easy access to keys and other small essentials. Below the back pocket is a dropped back hem for protection from water splashing upwards from the back tire on a wet ride.

What really sets the MOVA Cycling Jacket apart is its set of integrated LED lights in its neck and sleeves, each of which can hold a one year charge. With this, there’s no need to fiddle with finicky brake lights that can fall off or that need to constantly be charged. Combined with the jacket’s 3M reflective stripes and the MOVA Cycling Jacket shines brightly to keep you safe on the road.

Built to Last

Durable, element-resistant construction, a stylish fit, and smart design make the MOVA Cycling Jacket one of the more interesting choices available for true city cyclists — and for all the bike nuts here at The Coolector.

So, if you’ve got plenty of cycling on the horizon for 2017 and want to make sure you’ve got the very best apparel for the job then you should head to Kickstarter now and bag this excellent looking MOVA Cycling Jacket for a bargain price.

Have a better chance of success

Fuelled by big-data from projects worldwide

Did you know over 500 new crowdfunding campaigns are launched around the globe every day? We know this because it’s our job to keep track. Since 2013, over 725,900 rewards crowdfunding projects went live in over 240 countries. We couldn’t be more pleased with all this innovative activity, yet sadly some great campaigns simply can’t shout loud enough. Our live data tells us that only 25% of projects reach their target goal - we can increase your chances and boosted campaigns typically raise twice as much.

I’m Barry James. I’m passionate about crowdfunding because of the potential to drive innovation in society, based on what people want. I’m happy that all kinds of entrepreneurial and creative people no longer need to go cap-in-hand to the bank. That’s why we founded TheCrowdfundingCenter. We design unique analytical tools for people who want to be successful at rewards crowdfunding. Most crowdfunding platforms want you to achieve the same goal, and will give you help based on data from their platform. But we’re not a crowdfunding platform.

Here’s why we’re different. I’m also the CEO of the CrowdDataCenter - the Global Observatory of Rewards Crowdfunding since 2013. And we collect data from crowdfunding platforms around the world. Our tools and analysis are based on this Big Data. No-one else in the world does this. But more on this later. We know it is not always easy running a campaign. In the most successful campaigns the 30 days plus push for funding is just the end bit of a lot of research and decision making. We can help you with our pre-launch tools, but most likely you’re juggling a start-up or working on a community or creative project (such as a film, album, gadget or game) as well as managing the rest of your life. There is no doubt that sustaining a crowdfunding campaign for the duration can be very daunting. We can support you by extending your network of contacts from day one of your campaign. If you are reading this and have already launched - we’ll provide support and extra exposure to give your campaign a boost for around $3 a day.

We want to tell everyone about your project or ‘World's First…’, and we want to give you the support you deserve for taking this brave step. Indeed we exist to help people like you. We are the only business supporting folks during their rewards crowdfund with tools directly informed by The Global Observatory for rewards crowdfunding. This unique intelligence drives our decisions and support.

To your success.

Will My Campaign Succeed?

We know this is your most ‘top of mind’ question. Despite the huge number of projects we have studied, there is no simple answer. It really comes down to whether or not you can make your campaign a success.

All the way through your campaign it is important to continue to promote, market, share, talk and shout about your project to everyone by whatever means. Not everyone feels comfortable doing this. They fear ‘burning’ their contacts. Some end up daunted or feel overwhelmed by the whole experience (especially after a few ‘unsubscribes’). Others underestimate all that is involved in getting a successful crowdfund up and running. They struggle to maintain their energy, passion and belief in their product over the length of their campaign.

It doesn’t have to be like this. We exist to help you.

A campaign boost can help by...

Providing continuous publicity with targeted messages sent out daily
Exposing your campaign to new audiences of crowdfund backers through our extensive channels

This Bus Provides Mobile Meditation in the Bay Area

The 'Pause Now' bus is providing 15-minute meditation sessions for professionals in San Francisco.

Pause Now

Recently, we’ve seen buses that double as restaurants and grocery stores, but now, the latest bus-related business will provide a new service—meditation.

Jackie Corwin, an Oakland, California resident, created Pause Now, one of the country’s first mobile meditation centers.

Pause Now is a 27-foot, sky blue bus that features seven different “pods,” or areas filled with white cushions, headphones, and tablets. Customers can sit in the quiet areas for 15-minute intervals and listen to meditations including rainforest sounds, thunderstorms, and soothing mantras by using the iPad and noise-canceling headphones.

Corwin, a former banker, was constantly stressed from her corporate job and created Pause Now so professionals can use meditation as a fast escape. According to a recent survey by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, eight percent of U.S. adults used meditation last year, and Corwin aims to increase this number.

“The scientific studies of meditation is out there. You’re happier, you’re also more productive after taking a 10-15 minute break, and studies have shown that,” Corwin told Balitang America.

Corwin, who initially wanted to open a meditation studio, didn’t have the capital for a stationary space. One day, after seeing California food trucks, she got the idea to make a mobile studio. She set up an IndieGoGo account and has raised nearly $15,000 to fund her project. She then drew her bus prototype on the back of an envelope, sent it to a builder, and watched her innovation come to life.

The bus will travel all around San Francisco starting February 23 and will hit designated parks, schools, farmers markets, and offices. Customers can make reservations online and schedule a time and place for the bus to come.

Corwin will also offer pay-by-session appearances and will partner with individual companies so they can add wellness to their list of employee benefits.

The overall mission of Pause Now is to bring peace and happiness and reduce stress in people’s lives, particularly when they are on the go. As described on the company site, Pause Now is a “peaceful sanctuary that is available at any time.”

Wisconsin Confirms First Case of Coronavirus, 12th Overall in US

February 5, 2020 Updated: February 5, 2020

The 12th U.S. case of coronavirus, a mysterious new virus that has triggered lockdowns across China, was confirmed in Wisconsin by state health officials on Wednesday.

The Wisconsin Department of Homeland Security said the latest patient came into contact with the virus while they were traveling in mainland China within the past two weeks. According to health officials, the Wisconsin patient is in isolation, reported NBC26 and Fox6.

The patient was evaluated at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison, the state’s capital, but health officials said he didn’t require hospitalization, according to the reports. Officials told Fox6 that the patient was placed on “home isolation.”

In a press conference, health officials said the patient is “doing well,” adding that the risk to the broader public is “low,” CNBC reported.

So far, other than Wisconsin, six cases have been confirmed in California, while single cases have been confirmed in Washington state, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Arizona, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 20 countries around the world have confirmed coronavirus cases.

Two patients in San Benito County, California, were rushed to a San Francisco hospital on Monday, the city confirmed in a statement. Officials in Riverside County, California, said a child who was being quarantined along with about 200 other American evacuees from China was taken to a hospital after showing signs of a fever, but health department officials said it’s not clear whether the child has the virus.

But in China, it’s a much different story as Chinese authorities have placed quarantine and lockdowns in Wuhan and a number of other cities, while locals and even medical staff have described alleged cover-ups by the regime and have said the situation on the ground is far worse than what Beijing is telling the rest of the world. In one instance, a Chinese man who filmed dead bodies in a Wuhan hospital said he received a visit from local officials who confiscated his cellphone and two computers before he was detained.

Outside of China, in an extraordinary incident, 10 passengers on a cruise ship off the coast of Japan were confirmed to have contracted coronavirus after an infected man got on board. Health Minister Katsunobu Kato told a news conference on Wednesday that these new cases were confirmed on the Diamond Cruise ship.

The ship, which has 3,700 passengers on board, will be docked off Yokohama for 14 days for quarantine.

Thandie bags Bond girl role

This article is more than 14 years old
Thandie Newton
Screen test ... Thandie Newton

The Sun is reporting today that British beauty Thandie Newton has the role of the new Bond babe all sewn up.

Speculation had been mounting since news emerged about a week ago that she had tested for the part; new Bond Daniel Craig was said to be "deeply impressed" with the 33-year-old mother-of-two's performance in the raunchy bedroom scene test.

If this is true, and the Sun's form on Bond-related pronouncements is decidedly patchy, Newton will start filming on Casino Royale in the Caribbean at the end of the month.

Newton, whose big break arrived when she played Thomas Jefferson's slave and mistress in 1995's Jefferson in Paris, has recently been garnering rave reviews - and a Bafta best supporting actress nomination - for her performance in the race-relations ensemble drama Crash.

The actor was born in Zambia in 1972 - her name, Thandiwe, means "beloved" - to a tribal princess and a British father. The family fled political unrest when she was five and moved to Cornwall. She has a degree in anthropology from Cambridge.

Amaravati: Ministers seek to corner Naidu over Income Tax department(I-T) raids on his ex-PS

Amaravati: Ministers seek to corner Naidu over Income Tax department(I-T) raids on his ex-PS

Energy Minister Balineni Srinivas Reddy demands CBI probe into the multi-crore scam which took place

Amaravati: The Cabinet ministers and the YSRCP leaders came down heavily on the TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday, holding him accountable for the allegedly ill-gotten money unearthed by the Income Tax department from his former personal secretary P Srinivas.

The YSRCP leaders criticised that the I-T raids on the houses of former personal secretary of Naidu revealed just the tip of the iceberg and many skeletons would tumble soon to prove that TDP leadership was fountainhead of corruption.

Agriculture Minister Kurasala Kannababu said the I-T raids clearly proved how corrupt Naidu was. He wondered how many crores of fraud would come to light if raids were conducted on the houses of Chandrababu Naidu and his son Lokesh. He demanded an inquiry into Naidu's assets by the Enforcement Directorate. He said the inquiry would reveal how Naidu had plundered the government treasury, Kannababu said. He asked why Naidu was remaining silent over the I-T raids.

Minister Balineni Srinivas Reddy said the role of Naidu in the multi-crore scam was evident from the I-T raids. He demanded a CBI inquiry into it.

Minister Vellampalli Srinivas said that the Centre should look into the fraud committed by Naidu during his regime and pointed out that Naidu did not allow the CBI to enter the State as he was afraid that he would be exposed. He said that Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan was not reacting as he was also involved in the scam. Minister Cherukuvada Sriranganatha Raju said nobody can escape the clutches of law-enforcing authorities after committing financial frauds.

Minister Avanti Srinivas said he had mentioned even before the elections that corruption had reached its zenith during the execution of Polavaram and Pattiseema projects under the TDP regime.

He said Naidu was adept in money laundering and this could be gauged by the fact that Rs 2,000 crore was found in his personal secretary's possession.

Deputy Chief Minister Amzath Basha said Naidu's corrupt past would now be a talking point in the whole country and the Centre should initiate legal action against him.

Basha alleged that Nara Lokesh had indulged in collecting bribes for the execution of different projects. He said this was just the beginning of the exposure into the shady deals of Naidu and his cronies and there was much to come.

Minister Dharmana Krishna Das said people voted out Naidu as they wanted a corruption-free government. He said Naidu, Lokesh and Pawan Kalyan should be bold enough to react to the incriminating evidence found in the scam by the I-T raids.

Government Chief Whip Gadikota Srikanth Reddy said Naidu proved to be the brand ambassador for corruption which started with the Cash-for-Vote scam.

He said all those who were involved in the scam should be brought to book and added that Naidu was unnecessarily harping on the Amaravati capital issue just to outwit people of the corrupt practices that he had indulged in.

Adele confirmed for Skyfall

Finally it’s been confirmed that Adele will be performing the Skyfall theme song after months of speculation. The confirmation came via Adele’s official twitter channel by simply posting a photo of the cover of what is presumably the  lyrics, shown above. From that we can gather that the song was composed by Adele and Paul Epworth, which had also been rumoured. Thomas Newman, who is composing the soundtrack, therefore appears not to be involved, which is a pity as the elements from “You Know My Name” worked well in the Casino Royale soundtrack.

My Lost Love.. BooBoo – Celina Sharma

Friends, today I’ll be telling you my story. My name is Celina. This is the story of my life, a very true heartbreaking story that brings tears to my eyes just by thinking what happen with me. My name is Celina and today I will be sharing my story with you guys, this story is obviously related to me and with the Love of my Life Booboo.
Me and Booboo met in 2016, we started off as strangers and over time became very good friends. We were really close as friends and I was in a Toxic relationship at the time. I had my ups and downs with the guy I was dating by the name of Rohit.. Eventually that ended. Booboo was there to help me, support me, and guide me through it all. Over time, I started growing feelings for Booboo, started thinking about him more than just a best friend. We were spending a lot of time together, hours upon hours sitting in the car, chatting, talking, so of course without a doubt my feelings for him grow harder and faster than ever. On the day of February 14 2018, Valentine’s Day which I was suppose to spend with my bf at the time but ex boyfriend now..

Rohit. But instead decided to spend it with Booboo. We had a great night of awesome talks, long drives, drinks. Upon having a few drinks I kissed him on the cheek and gave him a warm hug outside of the restaurant we were at and he hugged me back. I was shocked at what I just did and what happen. But I knew those were my inner feelings for him coming out under intoxication. The night still went well, without any awkwardness. I went home and was thinking about Booboo the entire time. The next day, I saw him again.. We drank again. And expressed our feelings for one another. We hugged, kissed, and became boyfriend and girlfriend. That was the day we got official. But wait, there was a twist in the story.. He knew my ex boyfriend because through me they were friends he did not know how to face him and tell him that he is now dating his Girlfriend, so we both started avoiding Rohit and continued living our life and spending our entire time together. Day and nighr we would be together without skipping any days, he would buy me everything, give me all the happiness, nothing I ever asked for that I did not get, he brought the world to me, gave me all the happiness any girl could ask for. Along the way, we had so many people trying to break us apart but nothing tore us apart we were still strong and together. 4 months passed just like this..

Then one day, as things started getting serious Booboo confessed his inner feelings for me and told me that he wants to Quit drinking and smoking as his family does not approve of this.. I told him okay, and from that day on i cut down on my drinking. I had an addiction and a bad habit which I knew at that point on I had to let go and that’s what I did. I went from drinking every single day.. Everyday of the week to once in a while.
Now we are 6 months in, And his feelings for me got even deeper day by day, even I was falling tor him more and more and at this point I had given him my all. I met his family he had already met mine.. Back when we were just friends. But there was one thing bothering Booboo and that was my past.. He had a problem because he had seen the face of my Ex boyfriend and that would bother him a lot. Our relationship went from good to bad instantly. Every argument would involve my past.. And he just couldn’t take the fact that someone else had me before him. As days went by our fights got from bad to worse leading into making everything toxic. Things got bad, then

Recently.. One day we took a break. During this break.. I made a mistake and messed up everything between us I went outside with a guy from a dating site and he found out. I killed it, and shattered his world he is broken and today he is done with me for good.
Guys, one thing i wanna clear when I was with this person.. That I met on the social media site.. the entire time I was talking about Booboo regarding emotional support after that night i never saw him again. He feels cheated and today we are done for good. I want him back because I love him and cannot live without him. He means the world to me and I cannot see myself without him. I am broken 🙁

This is your admin Sunil Gupta, Please follow me on Instagram for questions and complaints or drop an email here

About the layout

Bow Junction is the MRC’s new 7mm layout featuring part of the North London Line(see below) It is being built to Scale 7 specifications. Scale 7 modellers work to a scale of 7mm to 1ft (1:43.5) using a true-to-scale standard gauge of 33mm, and wheel profiles which match closely to the real thing. Working to Scale 7 Standards is no more difficult than working to fine-scale 0 gauge standards

History of the prototype being modelled

In about 1850 the London to Birmingham Railway which was soon to become the London North Western Railway (LNWR) wanted a route by which it could send goods traffic originating in the North of England directly to the Docks in East London.

Therefore it supported a scheme to build a line from its line near Camden east across London and then South down the Docks at Poplar. This new line became The North London Railway.
This new line passed under the Eastern Counties, ( Later called the Great Eastern) near Bow in East London. This line terminated at Fenchurch Street Station.

The LNWR realised if they could link into the Great Eastern they would be able to run trains directly into the City of London instead of only as far as Euston.

This Junction was created at Bow, which is also the site of the North London’s Locomotive Works. This is the junction which forms the centrepiece of our layout.

The model

As stated above the layout is built around this junction. The period modelled is about 1910. The main double track runs from the left which is the direction of the rest of England to the right which goes down to the Docks at Poplar. In the middle there is a double junction with the two lines which run into Fenchurch Street. At the back of the layout are the Locomotive works which will be quite substantial buildings

Progress to date

The baseboards are being built by a Club Member and are well underway. Track building has begun and to date all the complicated point work comprising the junction is complete. All the track is hand built and we have had two skill transfer sessions on building the common crossings for the point work. In fact, it is our intention to run training sessions as we progress.

There is very much more to do, such as signalling, electrics, making buildings rolling stock and locomotive construction.

If you want to join the Bow Junction Team you will be most welcome.

Layout leader

The layout leader is Peter Mann who has been a member of the Model Railway Club since 1985. He was the Club Secretary for 4 years and then the Club Chairman for 7 years. Currently, he is a Vice President and for 11 years was on the Committee of the Scale 7 Group
