Wonderful Little Galaxy Tab3

“Daddy, do you want to be an artist like the Indonesian famous painter Affandi ?” my daughter Meilina asked me one day.
“Wow, is it so easy ?” I doubted firstly with her question.
Then she convinced me with the following information .
“One of the reason why I ‘ll get Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 for you is because this 10.1 Inch Tablet could make immediately someone to become an artist.”
A couple days later she really bought me one as she has promised. I was very surprised while watching her to demonstrate her drawing talent with that wonderful little tool.  I realized that she was true. Wow, her fashion design illustration looked as if really made by an artist !.
 She then told me that her fashion products will increase significantly soon

TRANSYLVANIA : A Legendary Land in Romania

Do you like either traveling or adventure ? Well, I would like to suggest you to visit this beautiful and legendary land. I had visited some interesting places in Romania many years ago when I was studying there.
Transylvania is by far the most romantic and inspiring of Romania's provinces. Its very name brings to mind visions of mountain peaks rising up to the sky above wooded valleys and sparkling streams, visions of high-roofed wooden churches, legendary castles and a troubled history. But there is much more to it: ski resorts and health spas, hiking trails and the Retezat National Park, fascinating medieval towns, art museums and good hotels. In Transylvania new vistas and leisure activities appear wherever you go.
Brasov and Romania's Mountain Resorts
This medieval city, picturesquely situated nearby the Postavaru Mountain, is both fascinating in itself and is close to Transylvania's major mountain resort area, with first class hotels (see the page on the Mountains). Look for its old Saxon architecture around the 14th century Black Church, the ruins of the citadel, and the 18th century Old Town Hall.
The Bran Castle and the Royal Resort of Sinaia
A trip to take from Brasov is to the castle of Bran, supposed to have been the home of Prince Vlad Tepes, who inspired Dracula's legend.

Exclusive Fabric Painting

Fabric painting can be interpreted as a technique to make illustration by painting directly on fabric. The difference with paint on canvas, painting on fabric using a special paint that resists washed and ironed. This technique is easier than screen printing, because it does not require special tools such as the process of the latter. This technique is also not as complex as air brush techniques.

Lobster Cultivation in Aquarium

Lobster Cultivation
Lobster is a precious prawn. Many countries cultivate this prawn and earn a lot of foreign currency every year. We can cultivate this prawn and earn more. This is a freshwater prawn.
Physical Characteristics:
It looks slide green, brown or blackish. Slough (skin) of carapes minnow has 2 - 5 blackish lines widely. Rostrum is long and curved and upper and lower side becomes wrinkled. Number of wrinkles is 12 - 15 on upper side and 11 - 14 on lower side and for female lobster 12 -13 and 5 - 7 accordingly. The chest of lobster is wide. And legs are long. First and second pair of legs are tweezers. The second pair of leg of male lobster is longer than that of female lobster.
Selection of Ponds:
Lobster needs more Oxygen so we have to select the pond attach to a river, canal or tube-well. Loamy clay, semi loamy clay and clayey soil are suitable for prawn cultivation. Big trees are not allowed beside the pond because pond needs much sun light. The pond area should be 10 – 100 centuries of land and 1 – 1.5 meter deep.
Pond Preparation:
At first we have to dry the pond as a result all unexpected fishes will die. This destroys the harmful gases and germs. We can use 3 gm Rotenal for every 3 cubic meters of water if we can’t dry the pond. Then we have to use 1 kg of lime for per century of land. We have to use 5 kg cow dung or 3 kg chicken faeces, 100 gm UREA, 50 gm TSP and 20 gm MP for 5 – 7 days later after using lime for every centuries of land. Next day we should plough the land slightly in order to pass through harmful gases.
Carp Reservation:
We have to leave carp in the pond after 5 – 7 days when water is slightly green. Generally 10,000 carps can leave in 100 centuries of pond area. Food Delivery: The production of prawn depends on food management. Ingredients Quantity (gm) Rice dust/ wheat husk 500 Mustard cake 150 Dried fish powder/ fish meal 250 Snail-oyster outer covering powder 95 Salt 3 Vitamins mixer 2 Total 100 Use of food: We have to supply food 4 percent of total fish body weight in the pond. Food should in the afternoon. We should supply food for 1000 carps per day according to age are as follows. Carps age Food quantity (gm) First month 15 Second month 75 Third month 250 Fourth month 400 Fifth month 1000 Sixth month 2000 Seventh month 2500 - 3000 Use of Fertilizer: In order to supply natural in the pond we should add fertilizer with supplementary food. For every two weeks on acres of pond needs 15 cow dung. 6 kg UREA, 2.5 kg TSP and 1 kg MP. Except UREA all the fertilizers should wet for 12 hours with triple portion of water. It should mixed properly and scatter those fertilizers 2 - 3 hours after sunrise.
Shelter:
Lobster cast-off skin at every growing stage of life. They become week when cast-off skin. At that time they can be attacked by another aquatic animals. For reason we should keep down dry tree branches without leaves or bamboo branches where they can take shelter.
Collection and Marketing:
Generally lobster become in full growth within 6 - 7 months. When the weight of 10 - 15 lobster to 1 kg then we should collect them with net. We should collect big sized lobster only. New moon and full moon are suitable times for lobster collection. We have sell lobster as soon as possible otherwise freeze with ice.
Production:
If we cultivate in this scientific method we can produce 8 - 10 kg of lobsters in every hundreds of land.

Spinach For Health

 Health Benefits of Spinach
 It is difficult to overestimate the nutritional powerhouse that is spinach. Here are eleven reasons why spinach should find its way into your grocery bag. Diet One cup of spinach has nearly 20% of the RDA of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, prevents constipation, maintains low blood sugar, and curbs overeating.
Cancer
Flavonoids -- a phytonutrient with anti-cancer properties abundant in spinach -- have been shown to slow down cell division in human stomach and skin cancer cells. Furthermore, spinach has shown significant protection against the occurrence of aggressive prostate cancer.
Anti-Inflammatory
Neoxanthin and violaxanthin are two anti-inflammatory epoxyxanthophylls that play an important role in regulation of inflammation and are present in unusual amounts in spinach.
Antioxidants
The vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, manganese, zinc and selenium present in spinach all serve as powerful antioxidants that combat the onset of osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.
Blood Pressure
By inhibiting the angiotensin I-converting enzyme, peptides within spinach have been shown to effectively lower blood pressure.
Vision
Both antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin are especially plentiful in spinach and protect the eye from cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Immunity
One cup of spinach contains over 337% of the RDA of vitamin A that not only protects and strengthens "entry points" into the human body, such as mucous membranes, respiratory, urinary and intestinal tracts, but is also a key component of lymphocytes (or white blood cells) that fight infection.
Skin
The high amount of vitamin A in spinach also promotes healthy skin by allowing for proper moisture retention in the epidermis, thus fighting psoriasis, keratinization, acne and even wrinkles.
Bones
One cup of boiled spinach provides over 1000% of the RDA of vitamin K that can prevent excess activation of osteoclasts (the cells that break down bones), as well as promote the synthesis of osteocalcin, the protein that is essential for maintaining the strength and density of our bones.
Calcification
Vitamin K is a crucial component of the process called carboxylation, which produces the matrix Gla protein that directly prevents calcium from forming in tissue. Eating one cup of spinach contributes to this process that fights atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Brain and Nervous Function
The abundance of vitamin K in spinach contributes greatly to a healthy nervous system and brain function by providing an essential part for the synthesis of sphingolipids, the crucial fat that makes up the Myelin sheath around our nerves.

How to Add a Sticky Menu to the Genesis Sample Theme

Yesterday I launched the new design here on my site, which includes a number of things that are new to my personal theme. In other words, things I’ve never used before. One of those is what’s known as a “sticky menu”, and it’s something that I really wanted to incorporate when I began the redesign process. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, take a look at the top of the screen right now. Since you’re reading this, you’ve scrolled down far enough to trigger the sticky menu. Now scroll back to the top of the page, and you’ll see the sticky menu disappear, giving way to the default header and navigation of my site. As expected in yesterday’s comments, I was asked how this was implemented. To your surprise, as it was to mine, this is something that is really easy to do.
Adding a Sticky Menu
There’s only a few steps required to create a sticky menu for your site, so go ahead and download the Genesis Sample theme as you’ll need it to follow the steps I mention below. If you are using a StudioPress or custom theme, this will merely serve as guidance. You’ll need to create a custom menu through the WordPress dashboard, as the sticky menu that is shown at the top of your site will be displaying the secondary navigation. Moving along, there is 3 sets of code that you need to implement. You can see those at the bottom of this post — functions.php, sticky-menu.js and style.css.
1. functions.php There are two things you need to add to your theme’s functions file. The first is the function that will enqueue the sticky-menu.js file and the second is the function that will reposition the Secondary Navigation menu at the top of your page.
2. sticky-menu.js In your theme’s folder, create another folder called js, and then create a new file called sticky-menu.js and place that inside. This file includes the jQuery that will control the fade in/out effect on the sticky menu for your site. Here’s what the path should look like: genesis-sample/js/sticky-menu.js
3. style.css Lastly, you’ll see that I’ve provided a bit of CSS that can be applied to your sticky menu to help make it stand out. Feel free to modify or add to this as necessary. To get your menu links to align right, assign them the sticky-right menu class in the CSS Classes option. Want to see what the sticky menu should look like? Check out the demo site

Samsung Galaxy Tablet

As a fashion blogger my daughter Meilina Utomo frequently updates the content of her site using this wonderful tablet. She has bought it after reading the review written by H. Yoon as I have quoted below.

 I am a graduate student in engineering and I was looking for a tablet that can be an alternative for papers. And I was debating between ipad and galaxy note 10.1 and I decided to go for the Note. I am really happy that I chose this tablet.
 First of all, the S note app is amazing. It is very responsive and accurate. And it's really fun as well! When I am bored, I just take the Note and write random things. Somebody below complained about the auto handwriting conversion to text. But I think it is almost impossible to convert the handwriting to text in a blink although I think it's still fast enough. And I could figure out the most of the problems that he had..
And because I'm studying in engineering, I need to draw a lot of graphs , shapes, and formulas. And the auto shape match feature is the best part. I can draw anything very fast and it just makes them in the exact way that i want. Unfortunately, S-note is not pdf file friendly. Even though you can import pdf files into S-note, there are not many useful feataures for S-note. But of course you can download any pdf annotation app from the market. I found this app, EZpdf, and they optimized the app for galaxy note so that when the stylus pen is near the screen, your palm is not recognized like S-note so the annotation is perfect. Also, you can organize your files and you can search the meaning of words that you select in either dictionary or wikipedia right away.
 So trust me. If you are a student, I don't think there is any other tablet that can satisfy you than this one. I know that ipad has many good note apps but what is the point of using them if there is no palm rejection feature?
Other than taking notes, the performance is also blazing fast. I always complained that even screen scrolling is not smooth for androids compared to ipad but I think Samsung optimized this tablet very well. Even when you are doing the multiscreen, there is no lag at all (except that it takes 0.5 seconds to move to another screen). With the 2gb rams, you can open unlimited number of tabs in your web browser.
 About the resolution.. If you are not going to read the Bible which is full of very tiny letters, i don't think you will have any problem to read articles or papers. And this resolution doesn't make any difference for vidoes since 1080x720 is a standard resolution for tablet. Correct me if i'm wrong.
 For watching videos or netflix, I really like that they put a dual speakers in front of the screen. It's very loud and clear. In my opinion, it's a huge difference from other tablets in terms of watching movies or listening to musics.
 I am not an art person but I take pictures a lot. And the phothoshop touch that comes with this is amazing. There are a lot of tutorials inside and it's easy to learn. With the s-pen, it is very fun to edit pictures. It is another thing that I like the most.
 The only downside is that you need enough time to get used to the software. Since there are a lot of features, you have to play around with it for a while. For me, it took about 2 hours to be friendly with the interface. But it's like when you are new to android and have to spend some times to get used to the interface.
Summary. If you are a student who needs to take notes and annotate pdf or slides, you SHOULD get the Note 10.1. With this, I am not going to bring any backpack and notes. I am reallllly happy with my new tablet!

Good Luck !
