How to give software demos

Ben Popper offers a great tip about giving a demo of your startup's software:

Software is Magic. A Demo is a Magic Show.

It's worth adding that this applies to demo videos too, and in fact to any sales process.

I've made the point before that you should sell the emotional benefits first. The "Wow" moment in your demo is what gets emotions engaged and captures attention. Make sure that happens up front to capture your audience's attention.

What if your software doesn't do anything magical? If your software doesn't do anything that seems magical to someone, then the only way you're going to sell it is if you have a captive audience (for example, if it's in-house software built for a large corporation). But if that's the case, chances are you're not reading this article.

Wear Network Notifications: My first Android Wear App

After owning a Android Wear device (more specific: a LG G Watch R) for some months now, I finally started my first little Wear project! It's a small app called "Wear Network Notifications" and it's available for free on Google Play (and GitHub) as of today ;)

Wear Network Notifications

Around three weeks ago my dad asked me if there is any app for his LG G Watch that would show him the current connectivity of his phone. Just so that he knows, e.g. while driving, if he could receive phone calls and emails at the moment. I searched the Google Play store and didn't find a sufficient solution for his problem. And indeed I always wanted to know if my Nexus 5 is currently using the wifi network or eats up my cellular data^^ So I started this project!

Wear Network Notifications (or just 'WNN') will notify you on events related to the network connection of your phone. For example, if you loose the connection to your home wifi you will get a notification that you are now connected to cellular network and using mobile data. It will also show you the current signal strength of the network as well as its name and update those values every time the screen of the watch is turned on.

WNN is highly customizable so that specific notifications can be deactivated or vibration can be switched off. I focused on a very battery friendly solution and that's why the notification won't be updated periodically. It will perform updates in a smart way every time you turn on your watches screen (e.g. by tilting your arm) which will trigger a Broadcast event. By using this technique the watch will show you the latest signal strength measurements every time you actually look at it and else saves your battery (both the watch and the phone battery).

As a bonus, it will also notify you if your watch looses the Bluetooth connection to the phone. This is exactly what all the 'Did you forget your phone?'-apps are doing and therefore you won't need those apps any more.

Wear Network Notifications is open source software released under the GNU General Public License v2 and you can download the source code on GitHub:

It is also available for free download on the Google Play platform:

If you want to see a quick demonstration of WNN you should watch this video:

Give it a try and tell me what you think! If you find some bugs or if you want to request more features just open an issue on GitHub:

And if you like the app, I would really appreciate a small donation ;)

Android Wear (my Opinion)

Now I have to write some more words about my opinion about Android Wear.

I always knew that I would buy an Android Watch sooner or later. I like Android and developing on this platform and I always preferred functional watches over expensive and stylish ones. Now that I have lived with my LG watch for about 4 months I would say that Android Wear is awesome but still has a long way to go. It could offer much more features and I'm very confident that Google will add those very soon (especially because at the moment we have a heavy battle on the wearable OS market with Apple joining the game in April).

From the developer point of view it is also clearly recognisable that Android Wear is a new OS with lots of annoying bugs still in there. Just to give an example, I work on a second Wear app in parallel. It is a guitar tuner for the watch. While developing on this app I witnessed a bug that will render SurfaceViews all black if the SurfaceView is screen filling (here is the link to the issue: It took me days to find a work-around for this one -.- And there are more..

But I think this is how it is with a new system. I'm definitely looking forward to the next versions of Android Wear!

First kick at World Cup will be by exoskeleton-equipped paraplegic

[grow_thumb image=”” thumb_width=”170″ /]A Duke University team’s robotic exoskeleton will be worn by a Brazilian for the ceremonial first kick at the first World Cup match (Brazil-Croatia) in São Paulo in June. According to Mashable, the development of the lightweight alloy (though not in appearance from the video) body assistive ‘walking suit’ is by a multi-national team headed by Duke professor Miguel Nicolelis. The suit is connected to an electrode cap that uses brain waves to direct physical motion, enabling the wearer to ‘think and move’. Prof. Nicolelis has trained nine Brazilian paraplegics, ages 20-40 with different types of paralysis, to use the suits, and three will participate in the opening ceremonies.

A Year in the Merde

What to read this winter?

By Connell Rebecca

    Winter: the time when the bookshelves creak under the weight of literary gifts which cover such fascinatingly depressing topics as '101 things to do before I die' or Trinny and Susannah's 'What not to wear'.
A Year in the Merde
A Year in the Merde

It seems friends and family delight in 'saying it to you straight', imparting the 'no bullshit' kind of advice without risking sudden death. I particularly admire those people who have the nerve to hand each other books about 'Why your bum looks big in that' or the 'Quick Weight Loss program'. After all, if they don't say it to you, who will and it's the thought that counts, right?
Then there is the second kind of book which one receives at Christmas: the homage to your intellect, the kind of read your mother-in-law or pompous work colleague gives you. 'The French Revolution' by Doyle is a particular favourite of mine- a brilliant book by all accounts but not one which requires four slots in the library. Silly me, I am forgetting that I am French after all and therefore must love reading about my cultural heritage, non?

French women don't get fat
French women don't get fat

In fact, the most delightful thing about the stereotypical intellectual reads is that you must act beside yourself with excitement at having received them yet again, or risk being branded an ill-educated prat.
So it is I find myself edging dangerously closer every Christmas morn to throwing said books back in gift-bearer's face. But I choose cold-blooded revenge: having stocked up on 'A guide to 18th century corn laws' and 'Accepting your fat', I will be readily distributing these come this time next year.
      David Broch, the owner, undoubtedly inspired by the idea of the 'home cinema' has turned the concept on its head. Rather than transporting the cinema experience into one's sitting room, why not bring the creature comforts of home to the cinema? A simple idea, but devilishly effective. The gallery seats (£15 including a glass of wine) are extremely popular, especially at weekends.
As I sat down last Tuesday, ready to delve into the latest proof of love entitled 'Why French women don't get fat', I held my breath when a small red gift-wrapped present caught my eye. Approaching it cautiously (I have learnt you see, to be weary of medium-sized rectangular gifts), I shook the parcel. No sound. Book identified.
There is nothing left for one to do at this point but to take the leap and remove the paper...which I did.           louvres

          'A year in the merde'. Tasteless Eiffel tower and snail adorn a dazzlingly white cover. I think: this sounds funny, it sounds witty, it sounds devilishly biased and ill researched. Could it be that this year I have been given a bit of light relief?
So it was I began to read northerner Stephen Clarke's account of life in Paris but the more I read, the more appalled I became.
Yes I wanted to read trash, but well written trash at least! Don't get me wrong, I adore the scathing attacks on French society an the 'Parisian crew', I'd be at the forefront of critiques but this was just pushing it too far.
In between asking myself if giver of gift was trying to tell me something and the urge to burn the thing, I did manage to find some reasonably comical moments. Some.

There are lots of French people who are not at all hypocritical, inefficient, aggressive, adulterous or incredibly sexy...They apparently just didn't make it into the book!

Published privately by the author in English in Paris, A Year in the Merde became an immediate local bestseller. Instant word-of-mouth spread like wildfire to England where booksellers began clamouring for it. Now Stephen Clarke's first novel will be rush-published officially in the UK to meet the worryingly ever-growing demand of fans.
And it's all a bit of a joke really apart from the fact Stephen Clarke states that he describes the French as they really are. We are apparently not cheese-eating surrender monkeys, but we do eat a lot of cheese, some of which smells like pigs' droppings.
We should praise Mr. Clarke though for his good will in rectifying a common belief: we do not wash our armpits with garlic soap. According to him, the French are still reeling in shock of course, at being stupid enough to sell Louisiana and thereby losing the chance to make French the global language.

The only part of this book which I will second is that going on strike really is the second national participation sport after pétanque.
The main story is that Paul West, a young Englishman, arrives to set up some "English" tea-rooms in Paris and as one mistaken critic states: 'gives a laugh-out-loud account of the pleasures and perils of being a Brit in France. Less quaint than A Year in Provence, less chocolaty than 'Chocolat', this book will tell you how to get the best of the grumpiest Parisian waiter, how to survive French meetings, how to make perfect vinaigrette every time, and how not to buy a house in the French countryside.' According to Stephen, "all names have been changed to avoid embarrassment, possible legal action and having my legs broken by someone in an Yves Saint Laurent suit (or, quite possibly, a Christian Dior skirt).
Need I say more? It's very kind of you Stephen, but don't give up the day job. I always wonder why it is the English take such pleasure in criticising the Gallic way of life when so many of them will rush over to the Southern extremities to enjoy life there at the drop of a hat.
Or why it is there is some adoration on the Englishwoman's part for the French man, and vice-versa, why the French woman adores the English man. History has proven time and time again that we are more alike and compatible than we think, you know.
May I suggest that this year sees us grow up a bit both politically and socially: explore France for yourself. I promise you, it most definitely will not be a year wasted /in the merde. I'm already looking forward to my next literary fix.

The God Formula – Resetting Your Expectations of God

There are certain things we can count on in life. When you drop something, it falls to the earth. When the temperature is below 32 degrees, things freeze. When the humidity rises, hair expands. And when you think you’ve finished all the laundry you’ve really only fooled yourself. But seriously, we know that 2 + 2 = 4 and that yellow and blue make green. There are things we can count on, laws in place, expectations that we can be certain of and we like that. But what about God? What formula does He fit into? What expectations can we have of Him?

When we are in relationship with humans we get to know each other, we find there are things we can count on. My son hates loathes strawberries and bananas, my husband is the king of procrastination, my other son hates loathes sports and my daughter will lose her marbles if her brothers touch her blanket. Like clockwork, I can count on these things. Now sometimes, someone may surprise me but I can usually find the reason why the seemingly unexpected occurred.

From these relationships and my knowledge of personalities and environmental factors I have developed a set of expectations, like expecting that the house will not be clean when I come home from work, ahem. I even have expectations on stores, for instance when I go to the grocery store at 11:30 in the morning on a Saturday I expect it to be absolute torture and stupidity on my part. When I go out to eat and spend a small fortune on a meal I expect it to be good, I expect the service to be good and I expect to leave satisfied with my entire experience. When I am not satisfied with the food or the service, I get upset and I want something done about it. Now, when I go to a fast food joint and the food is subpar and the service matches I don’t have the same reaction as if the nice restaurant gave me mediocre food and service, why? Because my expectations were different.

Now, let me ask you, what expectations do you have of God? Do you expect Him to be angry with you? Do you expect Him to talk to you? Do you expect Him to accept you? What are you basing these expectations on? Someone’s sermon? A book you read? Your own interpretation of events? What happens when God doesn’t live up to your expectations? Or when you think He’s lived up to your negative expectations? Do we take that as truth?

So often when things happen in our lives that aren’t what we wanted or prayed for we get angry, frustrated and confused. We can’t possibly see how God’s answer of ‘no’ or ‘not yet’ could be a good thing. But God is good, right? Or when something bad happens we convince ourselves that, ‘God really is angry with me and He’s punishing me’. We’ve created a formula in our minds of what God is “suppose” to be like, what good looks like and how it should be played out in our lives. The fact that we’ve tried to fit God into a human formula of expectations and definitions should be our first clue that something is wrong.

There are many, many things about God that I don’t understand. In fact, the ratio of what I do understand to what I don’t is pretty lopsided. So now what? I need to tear up my self-made equations of how things should work out. I need to throw out my formula of how I think God should be. God cannot be wrapped up in an algorithm of ‘if this then that’. We must change our expectations to be based off of who He has told us He is instead of who we’ve made Him to be.

Talk to God and expect Him to hear and respond:

But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Psalm 66:19

If you want to know God, look to Jesus:

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! John 14:9

Allow Him to shape your thoughts and expectations:

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5

As we allow Him to shape our thoughts and understanding we release our expectations into His hands. Trust grows, peace increases and life is fuller.

Talk to God with the expectation that He hears and responds.

Golf’s rising star Jordan Spieth puts Jesus first

By Mark Ellis and Michael Ashcraft

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — According to Esquire magazine, Jordan Spieth is the new “savior” of golf, but he probably would shy away from such journalistic hyperbole: He knows there’s only one Savior.

The wunderkind, who just earned golf’s #1 ranking with a win at the FedEx Cup, is a quiet Christian who attends the PGA Tour’s Christian group with flamboyant buddy Bubba Watson.

“He goes to Bible study with us on the Tour here,” says Watson, who in April put the traditional snazzy green jacket on Spieth to symbolize his elite status with other Masters winners at Augusta.

On Sept. 27, Spieth sank putts from anywhere and everywhere on the green to win the $10 million Tour Championship, showing why golf legend Ben Crenshaw nicknamed him Wyatt Earp. On the 11th hole, the Texan dropped a 45-foot putt, a “dagger” that sank his closest competitor’s hopes of regaining the lead.

Golf's rising - jordan-spieth-masters-champion

His five wins this year include two majors and winnings totaling $23 million – not bad for a 22-year-old. Spieth’s youth and dominance are strikingly similar to golf’s last and now-fallen Titan, Tiger Woods.

But while Woods was an intense competitor, a golfer who would swear profusely on camera and frolic with ladies off-camera, Spieth projects a clean image of good sportsmanship and Christian conduct. While other champs flaunt pictures with hot girlfriends, Spieth likes to pose with his autistic sister, 15-year-old Ellie.

“She’s my inspiration,” Spieth told the UK’s Telegraph. “She’s the funniest member of our family. I really love spending time with her. It is humbling to see her and her friends and the struggles they go through each day, which we take for granted. They are the happiest people in the world.”

When other Masters’ winners celebrate amid opulence and ostentation at one of Augusta’s many 5-star hotels, Spieth celebrated at a Chick-fil-A restaurant. He still drives the same Yukon truck from his youth.

By NWV Senior Political News Writer, Jim Kouri

Visitors to conservative web sites may encounter problems accessing news stories and political commentary regarding the Republican Party, conservative issues and pro-Donald Trump postings thanks to a major Internet search engine company that also controls a top web browser that’s successfully competing with Microsoft, Firefox, Safari and others.

According to a number of subscribers and readers of the conservative Internet publication,, readers are being falsely informed by a popular web browser, Google Chrome, that “malware” exists on the web site, specifically columns that address political and social issues from a conservative or libertarian perspective, according to several writers and the editor at NWV.

Readers attempting to access NWV content were met by warnings that falsely claimed “malware” that was hazardous to personal computers existed on the web site. A number of emails were received by the NWV editor complaining about the problem and saying they were fearful of damaging their desktop or laptop computers by accessing news stories and opinion columns.

For example, one of the top columnists, Kelleigh Nelson, who frequently writes on political issues had problems with readers not being able to access her opinion pieces appearing on NWV. Kelleigh is 100% pro Trump.

“A number of my readers [had] emailed me that when they tried to access my archived articles, a malware warning would always pop up. All of them were using Google Chrome when this happened,” said Nelson. “I immediately alerted Paul Walter, Senior Editor of, and he did a virus check. Nothing showed as being malware within any of my archived articles.”

Ms. Nelson believes that Google Chrome covertly putting these malware warnings on every article they politically disagree with, and she believes that NewsWithViews is not the only target. There are other websites being targeted, including The Marshall Report, and The Conservative Tree House. “If you want the truth in these and other articles, then use any other search engine and the articles and websites will come up, just not with Google Chrome,” said Kelleigh Nelson.

Following a lengthy investigation by the NWV editor, Paul Walter, it was confirmed that the “malware alerts” were the product of only one web browser: Google Chrome. All of the complaints regarding “malware alerts” were generated by readers who were Chrome browser users. Those readers using the other Internet browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Explorer, and other popular browsers were not experiencing this suspected form of censorship.

“It appears that Google Chrome is the only browser suspected of deceptive political activity that benefits the Democratic Party especially in this heated [presidential] election cycle,” said political consultant and attorney Michael Baker. “In fact, other web sites are experiencing similar problems and they all trace them to Google Chrome.”

Baker said that reputable news and information web sites such as Breitbart’s series of web pages and the Conservative Base are also experiencing the same problems with Google Chrome. “It’s a safe bet that if it’s happening to these top sites, it’s probably happening to the lesser-known sites with fewer visitors,” he said.

When NWV senior editor Paul Walter received complaints from both readers and some columnists about the suspected malware hoax, he contacted his Internet hosting company on March 10, 2016 located in Los Angeles and N.J. for a complete examination of the web site and their dedicated server. The company reported conducting full scans and exams of NWV and found no evidence of there being any type of malware or virus within the system. NWV was given a clean-bill-of-health by the hosting company and yet, the complaints kept pouring in from all over the country about the malwere problem that didn’t exist.

Walter said “I’m almost 100% certain that you won’t be able to find this news article on the Google search engine.”

PROOF GOOGLE CENSORSIn the case of another web site experiencing the exact same problem with malware alerts where there were none, Conservative Base which coincidentally, like NWV, supports the candidacy of GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

The Conservative Base’s webmaster, Ben Thole, also conducted virus scans and the like and also found there were no problems with the web site or the server. Thole is an experienced web site designer and webmaster who has worked for the Republican Party, celebrities and companies that require first-rate Internet coverage.

Besides the Chrome browser, when Internet users are conducting a search with Google’s search engine they are warned that the web site itself may harm your computer.

This is an actual example of those insidious messages that are designed to detour visitors to other web sites: columnist, Ron Ewart, President of the National Association of Rural Landowners, when he discovered the activities of Google, launched his own action against the media giant.

During a telephone conversation with this reporter, Mr. Ewart mentioned his own investigation and a column he will have published by NWV that reveals the political ties between the Democrat Party and the Google founders, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt. He also reports that there are thousands of Google employees who are also in cahoots with the Democrats:

“Few Silicon Valley companies have ever embraced a political party as passionately as Google has. Its executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, has been described as a “kind of guru” to President Obama’s campaign manager, and Google employees emerged as the No. 2 donor to the Democratic National Committee in the last election,” stated Ewart.

Ewart also mentioned during the telephone interview with this NWV reporter that the Google Chrome Malware Alerts suddenly appeared on conservative articles right after Donald Trump, during a televised rally with 20-thousand cheering supporters, held up an article from the website that verified he assertion about media bias and the NWV website received an astounding 1,000,000 hits in just one day.

Efforts by NWV to contact Google and discuss these serious allegations met with negative results. The person who only gave the name “Heather” said the Google browser is not involved in politics.

However, Ron Ewart wrote a thorough letter to the Google executives Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, which he plans to publish on

“I hope conservatives will start to take action,” said Ewart. “The whole political system is corrupted and people must awaken and take action before ‘malware alerts’ will be the least of their problems,” he added.

Besides the covert activities suspected, a new Google Chrome “extension” allows users to scrub mentions and photos of Donald Trump from their bPROOF GOOGLE CENSORS 1rowsing experience. Trump Filter is a Chrome extension that searches websites for references to the Republican presidential candidate and replaces it with a blank space.

“Eliminate Donald Trump from all your web browsing without leaving the Internet,” a description for Trump Filter boasts. “In a political atmosphere where ascendance can be manufactured through attention, the only way to deflate Trump’s political star is through suffocation. Trump can only lose if we turn off the TV.

“Thus, the Trump Filter is presented as part of the antidote for this toxic candidacy. This Chrome extension will identify parts of a web page likely to contain Donald Trump and erase them from the Internet. Share with your friends and eliminate the only currency Trump can spend to win: brand recognition,” the description reads.

“I hope folks will take this opportunity to learn more about the wide field of candidates out there,” Mr. Spectre told CNN.

Sex Trafficking in America: One Woman’s Story

Darlene Pawlik at three years old

Darlene Pawlik at three years old

By Mark Ellis

She grew up poor, in one of the decaying mill towns of Massachusetts. After she ran away from home, she was groomed and finally drawn into the dark world of sex trafficking, a virtual prisoner in one of the most free and prosperous countries in the world.

“I was conceived in a violent rape, so I always felt like I was worth less than other people,” says Darlene Pawlik, author of “Testimony: the dark side of Christianity.” The rape was so brutal her mother didn’t talk about it for two years. She actually married the perpetrator, who continued to brutalize her mother.

Sexual violence seemed to follow Darlene. “From toddlerhood I was physically and sexually abused by my biological father,” she recounts. “He used drugs and he used repressive techniques, teaching us to lie about what was going on.”

Her mother’s second husband took them to church occasionally, but it was more for a social connection. “At six or seven I accepted the Lord, but there was no discipleship going on. I didn’t know how to follow Him.”

Darlene ran away from home after her mother’s second divorce. “I quit school at the end of the 6th grade,” she says. “I lived as a transient in the streets, stayed in basements, or slept in cars. I slept in the store ‘24’ for a number of months.” A world almanac was her only pillow at times.

She says her mother looked for her, but didn’t get much help from the local police in Haverhill, Massachusetts. “Some of the police were using my runaway friends,” she alleges.

When Darlene was 13, a “handsome” man calling himself ‘Ace’ showed up in town, driving a black Cadillac with a crimson interior. He struck up conversations with Darlene and her runaway friends, slowly building their trust. “When the weather got cold we would get in his car and we would talk and joke around,” she recalls.

Ace was patient, slowly grooming the girls for his vile purposes. “He made very few references to sexuality at first, but then he started getting into it more and more.”

Darlene began using drugs such as Valium, marijuana, and alcohol – anything she could get her hands on. “I viewed him (Ace) as a way I could get what I wanted and I didn’t think I was worth anything anyway,” she says. Her relationship turned sexual with Ace, which led to the next step in his sordid plan.

On Darlene’s 14th birthday she was peddled into the world of sex trafficking. “That’s the first time I was sold to a businessman from a neighboring town. He was absolutely thrilled I was so young.”

Some of her clients included professionals, politicians, and everyday Joes. “Often it was a routine thing that happened,” she says, referring to the sexual encounters. “But just as much it was violent. I was gang-raped, kidnapped, beaten and brutalized,” she recounts.

“I attempted suicide many times, overdosing on pills; I tried to throw myself off a building; I tried to hang myself in a cell. I must have had angelic or Holy Spirit intervention, because I should not be alive.”

Ace sold her to a man named Rac, for his exclusive use. Then Rac sold her to a small-time organized crime figure, involved with loan-sharking and gambling. The man found her an apartment in the city, while he lived with his wife and children in the suburbs.

“I was held as a house pet for a ‘sugar daddy,’ but there was nothing sweet about it,” she notes.

When Darlene unexpectedly became pregnant, the mobster was enraged. “He told me if I didn’t have an abortion he would kill me. One of his flunkies was my former pimp who had beaten me up and raped me so I didn’t doubt it.” He forced Darlene to make the appointment for an abortion in his presence.

As the pressure mounted, Darlene remembered the faith of her childhood, which had been dormant for so many years. “God, if you’re real, I need you to help me!” she cried out when she was alone. “I don’t know what to do.”

That night something unusual happened. She had a vivid, Technicolor dream about the abortion process from the vantage point of the womb.

Jolted by her God-inspired dream, Darlene called a social worker she met when she first lived on the streets. She reached Marilyn Birnie, founder of Friends of the Unborn, who told her she would provide a place of refuge for Darlene – a home for unwed mothers.

Darlene spontaneously devised a plan to flee – using the pretext of a faked abortion. “I pretended to go and have an abortion and after the procedure I pretended to be in pain. I went to the bathroom a lot and cried a lot. I was terrified he would find out so I was shaking. He believed me and let me go.”

She credits Marilyn Birnie with saving her life. “She didn’t just save my life, she saved my children’s lives and who knows how many generations.”

At the home for unwed mothers, she finally found the missing piece to her Christianity. “Marilyn taught me how to be a Christian, to read the Bible every day, to talk to God every day. If there was an actual conversion experience, it was at her home. She saved my life and my destiny.”

In 1990 Darlene married Mark Pawlik, sales manager for an industrial equipment company. The relationship was slow to develop and rocky at first, due to the trauma she survived and her lack of self-worth. “I felt like I wasn’t good enough so I pushed him away.”

In the last few years, Darlene has been very active in pro-life causes in New Hampshire. She has five children and two grandchildren. “I want to give back to the pro-lifers who saved me,” she says.

Τhe ski center

From 2007 in Ziria operates a small ski center well organised. There is a kidsʼ ski lift with a length 200m for our small friends with a ski teacher offered by the municipality of Xilokastro. For adults there is an excellent track of 700m at the beginning of a red track ending at a blue, which is served by a sliding lift.

The access to the ski area is from the provincial road 10km from Ano Trikala and the resort

Mountain path

The mountain path is organized by the Grand Chalet. A magical journey into the most distinguished centennial Platanus, Ziria. Throughout the journey, until the 1700 meters,our company was the sound and images from the crystal clear tumbling waters of the mountain ,providing an incredible feeling clean energy and wellness.

The Chalet

On the ski slopes there is a large car park ,rental ski equipment, as well as a large warm chalet with superb views, many drinks, snacks and sweets.

A major positive factor has to be the great energy of the people there.

Cross training

The activity of cross training took place at 1550 meters in a green valley of Ziria surrounded by the fir and pine trees. Rapporteurs and beacons of activity George Petalas and Nick Xrysafis, athletes with great experience and awards  in National and International level. For example George Petalas holds 20 Greek Athletic Championships in cycling, 15 Balkan and 1 pan-European.

Offers Ski

The Grand chalet in cooperation with the people in the ski center Ziria gives you the ability to have equipment and a ski instructor at the time you have requested.

Apart from the ability for an instant supply of equipment and instructors,Grand chalet offers many discount packages.

Life coaching

This course of Life Coaching took place at the premises of the Grand Chalet in two periods, 1 day lecture and 2ND day practice in form of debate. Life Coaching is a service with a priority focus on personal development. Rapporteur of the seminar was Michael Papaioannou a graduate of ΤΕΦΑΑ- Wellness specialist, decathlete and consultant of NLP Coaching.

Unique financial package for three people or more.

A Jeep picks you from the chalet with the destination of ski Ziria where the snowmobile with an exclusive driver and the right equipment are waiting for you to live a magnificent adventure. At the end of the adventure and a hot drink the jeep takes you safely back to your chalet.

For the more extreme groups this can take place at night.

Power yoga

In a stunning sample of Greeceʼs natural environment we are able to participate in Power Yoga. Water, evergreen Valley and snowy mountains form the scene of Lake Doxa next to Ancient Feneo. Such a place is ideal for spiritual exercise with X. Manolidou, who holds many studies on the philosophy of yoga in general and managed to guide us to refreshing our body and sοul.

It was a great honor for the Grand Chalet resort to have been visited by Nick Eleftheriou and his family. He achieved more than 30 Pan-Hellenic championships, of which 10 were continuous, amongst his many European achievements. All these in combination with his coaching successes with two athletes led him to be Greeceʼs number 1 archer. In a competition at Lake Doxa, Nick and his wife set up, helped us experience the first weapon that gave Greeks the ability to attack from a distance.

Horse Riding

In co-operation with the free horse riding club in the area, we invite you to get to know these wonderful animals.For this reason we organise for you individual and group horse riding lessons for all ages along with amazing rides to the mountains for the more experienced.

Car rams into Shanghai’s US consulate, guard injured

Car rams into Shanghai’s US consulate, guard injured

HomeAsia-PacificChina Thu Feb 12, 2015 10:35PM

A Chinese individual has crashed his car into a gate of the US consulate in the Chinese city of Shanghai, injuring an armed policeman guarding the premises.

“A black car intended to rush into US General Consulate in Shanghai at 10 pm [0200 GMT] Thursday. The male driver has been controlled,” a tweet from the state-run People’s Daily said.

According to a statement by Shanghai police, the driver, identified as Liu Daojie, has been taken into custody, official news agency Xinhua reported.

The driver of the black Toyota sedan told police that by doing so, he aimed to draw people’s attention as he felt someone intended to kill him.

“I drove from Hangzhou to Shanghai today, and saw the place is guarded by armed police. So I crashed my car into it,” the police statement quoted Liu as saying.

The statement further said the Chinese driver, who claims to be the owner of a large company in Fujian Province, seemed confused and spoke unintelligibly.

An investigation is underway into the case, and police has rejected preliminary media reports that the driver was drunk, Xinhua said.

Magnesium orotate:

Magnesium and calcium metabolism are closely related. The intestinal absorption and the renal excretion of the two ions are interdependent. The most frequent causes of hypomagnesemia in children are reduced intake, impaired intestinal absorption, renal loss and genetic diseases. Hypomagnesemia is reflected clinically in the nervous system, and there are neurophysiological and metabolic changes. Severe hypomagnesemia induces secondary hypocalcemia in most experimental animals except rats. Furthermore, severe hypomagnesemia induces functional hypoparathyroidism. In vitro studies have demonstrated that magnesium can modulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion in a similar way to calcium. An acute decrease in magnesium concentration stimulates PTH secretion, and an acute increase in concentration decreases secretion. Magnesium is likely to play an important role in vitamin D metabolism. Some patients with hypocalcemia and magnesium deficiency are resistant to pharmacological doses of vitamin D or may have a form of magnesium-dependent vitamin D-resistant rickets. Phosphate depletion has been observed to be accompanied by an increase in urinary magnesium and calcium. In pediatrics the syndrome of phosphate depletion is observed particularly often in premature babies, who often receive a low-P diet. Magnesium is involved in many of the biochemical reactions that take place in the cell, and particularly in processes involving the formation and utilization of ATP. Thus, at the cellular level, magnesium plays a key role in ionic transport processes.

Magnesium helps in the absorption of calcium in the intestines. It helps convert vitamin D to vitamin D3 (calcitriol0 which absorbs calcium. Magnesium also helps produce calcitonin by thyroid glands which in turn helps to preserve bone structure and draws calcium out of the blood and soft tissues back into the bones, lowering the likelihood of osteoporosis, some forms of arthritis, heart attack and kidney stones

Magnesium orotate is by far the best source of magnesium food supplement. It has the best bioavailability of magnesium besides the bonus of nucleotide buiding characteristics of orotic acid. If bioavailability of magnesium supplement is poor the unabsorbed magnesium may cause side effects such as diarrhoea. Magnesium is an antagonist of calcium and acts as a very friendly calcium blocker acting on the cells.

Magnesium orotate reduces the blood pressure and heart rate of cardiac patients without bad side effects. Since orotic acid is a pyrimidine precursor and is a naturally present chemical in human body it acts as a friendly transporter of magnesium

Magnesium Orotate treats metabolic problems in blood sugar assimilation and hence it mitigates the effect of diabetes and related complications. OROTATES of minerals have been studied in depth by Russian Medical institutes and Magnesium Orotate has been found to be easily the best orotate since it has dual or multiple functions of magnesium therapy along with cardiac , hepatic therapy. In severe congestive heart condition treatments Magnesium Orotate has been proved to be beneficial. Persons treated for mitral valve prolapse and other cardiac dysfunctions recoup better with dosages of magnesium orotate

Magensium Orotate has been in use in the West only for the last few years though its efficacy has been know to the Russians much earlier. It is now well know that magnesium in Magnesium Orotate is more bioavailable than ,say, magnesium citrate etc. Time has come for the medical fraternity to make use of this compound fully. Though it Is costlier than other magnesium supplements, user gets the orotic acid benefits. Harsha Chemicals P.Ltd. is doing its best to make best quality Magnesium Orotate available at very reasonable prices.

CAS: 34717-03-8

MF: C10H6MgN4O8.2H2O

MW: 334.48 (anhydrous)

EC.No: 252-167-6

Specifcations: Appearance: white / off-white powder Solubility: insoluble in water, methanol etc.

Assay: min 98% (dry basis) – complexometric titration Orotic Acid content – test by colorimetric method. Lead, barium etc : less than 20 ppm

Magnesium Orotate, being a neutral molecule and lipophilic , is easily transported across the cell wall by transporter enzyme.The Orotic Acid moiety is utilized by the OPRTase enzyme for orotidine and uridine synthesis and the magnesium is available for the cells. The OMP which is formed with orotic acid goes on to produce RNA and DNA. UDP which is formed may form UDP-glucose which serves as sugar reservoir and serves the tissues of brain, heart and muscles. The magnesium which is liberated from Magnesium Orotate invigorates the enzymes which breakdown of cholesterol molecule and consequently play a great role in controlling atherosclerosis.

Selina Thompson: Race Cards

Fierce Festival

8 - 11 October 2015

Review by Harold Offeh

Selina Thompson’s work ‘Race Cards’ has evolved through various performance iterations to arrive in Birmingham as an installation in Thompson’s absence. Consisting of 1000 questions on race developed by the artist over a duration of 21 hours at the Edinburgh Festival as part of the Buzzcut programme for Forest Fringe, visitors enter the space one by one deciding how long to stay for before writing and leaving a response to one of the questions. ‘Race Cards’ was commissioned by Camden People’s Theatre, subsequently developed with Buzzcut and Forest Fringe before now being installed at Birmingham Open Media (BOM) as part of Fierce Festival 2015.

Arriving from Leeds I was expecting to dive straight into the work. However, upon arrival at BOM I was told I’d have to wait and in fact there was queue with another three people in front of me. Initially miffed, I decided to busy myself by looking at the other artworks on display at BOM, including an amazingly mesmeric video ‘Orange Bikini’ by Emily Mulenga, a name to watch. Thirty minutes and a coffee later I was still waiting. It struck me that each of the previous visitors had spent about fifteen minutes in the installation: in Art Years that’s an eon!

The extended wait forced me to consider the wider social context of ‘Race Cards’. Things like the #BlackLivesMatter movement in the US, the Syrian refugees and EU migration crisis, I even mulled over the title, ‘Race Cards’ and the strange implication of playing the race card in society. How would you use it, as a means of exploitation or admonishment? In doing so, it occurred to me that I’d already entered the work long before entering the physical space of the installation. When my turn eventually came I was ushered into the darkened installation space. Crossing paths with a previous visitor who excitedly told me “it’s amazing, but intense.”

The walls of the installation are covered floor to ceiling in black cards listing the ‘Race Cards’ questions. Questions include: Do we see whiteness? What are your thoughts on the term ‘reverse racism’? And do artists inhabit safe spaces? Thompson has left instructions on an A4 sheet and there is an invitation to generate a question that you can take away after you leave. Aware of my solitude, I began to read the questions and as directed starting from number one onwards. What very quickly became apparent is the warmth and skill of Thompson’s writing. Because what the audience is confronted with is not a series of dry questions or a questionnaire. Instead ‘Race Cards’ is a stream of consciousness that emerges from an epic durational work. The questions are a mapping of Thompson’s thoughts and as such contain humour, tragedy, irony and pathos. I was particularly struck by how brave, direct and honest the text is. There is a level of self-reflection inherent in the text, which means as a reader you have nowhere to hide; you’re in the full glare of the work’s startling rhetoric.

If I’m honest, I was so engrossed in reading I found it hard to stick to the task of picking one question to respond to. I chickened out and left it to fate, choosing a question to answer at random. I didn’t feel the strength of the work was in eliciting written responses. My experience was enriched by the opportunity to read. Despite Thompson’s physical absence, she is very present in this work and a result it’s utterly captivating. ‘Race Cards’ harnesses the power of reading and how in the intimate moment of consuming text the reader is freed and yet challenged. The work isn’t about answering questions; it’s about igniting an internal discussion in each of us that allows for the possibility of self-awareness, analysis and reflection. That led me to think on the way home that ‘Race Cards’ next iteration surely has to be as a publication.

Never Say Never - Insightful Voices Drive Multimedia

Roger’s favorite high school subject is English, taught by his favorite teacher Brother John Corcoran, who is also his cross country coach. Such relationships provide many teaching moments. But Roger’s greatest inspiration has been observing his mentor quietly overcoming adversity.

Link to iPad and iPhone friendly version.

During our taped interview earlier this year discussing why he liked attending Archbishop Curley Notre Dame,  Roger described Brother Cocoran as an interesting and approachable teacher, as well as a challenging and goal-setting coach.

Over the past school year Roger and his teammates have watched their coach recover from an accident, return to walking and then to full duties at school. Roger has learned “to never say never,” an unofficial lesson.

Such insights, straight from the student mouths, have been the driving force behind the six-part multimedia series ACND commissioned to focus their “There’s A School For That” campaign.  By using journalistic still photography and public-radio-style audio interviews, the small Catholic prep school on the edge of Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood is growing enrollment and strengthening ties with its support community.

Anecdotal reports suggest these audio slide shows are succeeding in small ways:
- A mother reported her son insisted on enrolling at ACND after being impressed by their web site, where the shows are featured
-  Another new student said he chose Curley “to find my athletic potential," directly borrowing a line from one show.

This is my sixth and last post about this project. Thanks again for the help of Principal Brother Patrick Sean Moffett, CFC, his assistant Daphne Dominique, Dean of Students Douglas Romanik, and former Public Relations director Catherine Doble.

Here are all six multimedia audio slide shows from Miami high school Archbishop Curley Notre Dame.

Sounds Overheard: NYC Subway

The $ 2.25 to ride the New York City subway is probably the best entertainment admission price in town, especially if you travel through the underground with your ears wide open.

Earlier this month I recorded the sounds of a classical Spanish guitarist, then a Manhattan bound train arriving, doors closing, being whisked to another station, where I’m finally left alone on an abandoned platform. Direct link to two minute clip here.

Sure you need your eyes to read the stories on your fellow traveler’s faces, spot the rat running down the rails, be amused by the zombie Halloween costumes. But listening to the sounds surrounding you will make the trip much richer.

Conversations in Polish, Spanish, Chinese and where in the world are they from ? Music from violins, flutes, drummed upon plastic buckets. Humming air conditioning, whooshing air brakes, ear shattering screeching. Foot steps, the train fading down the tunnel, now it’s quiet.

During my assignments and travels I've been recording the sounds I overhear, and many don't have supporting photographs or stories. This occasional series will be my excuse to share my audio orphans, these Sounds Overheard.
