EDITOR'S NOTE How To Be Happy in Your Life
Happiness in life comes with being happy with ourselves. It starts by making each day productive. It starts by building meaningful relationships and friendships and it starts by doing something you love and something that allows you to give back to others. Happiness in life is fundamentally about being honest with yourself and with others. If you are honest with yourself, you will know your limitations and not seek to be something you cannot be. If you are honest with yourself then you will look for the career that will allow you to use your talents to help others. Not least of all, if you are honest with yourself, you will lead an upstanding life and never have to run from your past or live a lie. Happiness, really, is about personal integrity. Beyond all of that, happiness is derived from living a life worth remembering. It is about making a conscious effort to leave a positive legacy. That can be working with the disadvantaged in one’s community, or it can be volunteering to a number of charitable activities. Small contributions, made daily, add up to a lifetime body of work that can change the lives of others and set an example will strive to follow long into the future. Recognizing that there is satisfaction in service is integral to being happy with the responsibilities and obligations that come with fruitful citizenship. In the end, happiness is about choosing to be happy by choosing to treat others well, and by choosing to live each day with purpose. Nebras Baraki

When is the best time to sell your house? When you want or need to sell it. Is there a perfect time to sell your house? The short answer is: Whenever you’re ready.
Market “timing” isn’t the only factor that influences how quickly your house will sell or for how much.
The preparations you make before listing your house on the market will also have a big impact on your success. Consider these questions: How well is your house staged? Is it in a good state of repair? Is it priced correctly based on local market conditions? Is it listed and promoted so that all REALTORS® and their clients understand the advantages your house and community have to offer? Sure, there are peaks and
slower cycles throughout the year. And, there are economic periods when the real estate market is either heating up or cooling down. But you don’t have any control over those factors. Plus, you can never accurately predict exactly where the market is within each cycle.
What you can control is how well you prepare your house for sale so that it’s desirable to as many potential buyers as possible. So when is the best time to sell your house? When you want or need to sell it.
TIMING THE MARKET. SHOULD YOU?
Want to find out how much your house will sell for in today’s market? Call me today.

EVOQUE YOUR SENSES
When Land Rover, the purveyors of the finest British automobiles, first introduced the Range Rover Evoque back in 2011, no one predicted the unequivocal success it would bring the British automaker. With over 400,000 units sold, the Evoque remains the benchmark in the compact crossover segment. With an astronomical five billion dollars spent on research and development the new Evoque leads all other competitors in this segment with its low fuel efficiency, safety, off road capability and intuitive all-wheel drive system (which can switch between different drive terrains in fraction of a second). The Evoque is the market leader with over 160 international awards and counting. The all-new 2016 Range Rover Evoque is available for viewing at Land Rover of Richmond, Canada’s largest and most reliable Land Rover dealership and the winner of “Dealership of the year” by Land Rover Canada for three consecutive years. To schedule a private view, contact Alex who is fluent in both English and Farsi, at 604.771.4505.

YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS. ORBIIIT HELPS YOU FIND TOP TRENDS ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, AND SOUNDCLOUD Orbiiit Technology Inc. is ready to bring the top trending content from leading social media platforms all into one place so you can quickly scan and discover updates from profiles in music, fashion, art, entertainment and technology. Have you ever really found out the best music artist by typing into a search engine the keywords “Best music artist in pop music”? This keyword search probably gave you a search result with a list of pages with the title “Best Pop Music Artist” or a list from websites featuring “Best Pop Music Artists”. Did your keyword search really give the “Best Pop Music Artist?” If so, how current is this list? How accurate is this search? How long did it take for you find these results? Orbiiit believes aggregating social media signals (fan-bases, Social engagement and popularity) are a more accurate metric for determining a profile or artist’s talent. Orbiiit aggregates daily social media signals from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and SoundCloud to come up with a chart so you can quickly see what is really trending based on user engagement signals.
A highlight that Orbiiit provides is displaying the top most engaged photo on Instagram from categories such as music, art, fashion and entertainment. One of the goals is to allow unknown profiles to be featured on charts alongside more established profiles based on their daily social media growth. This is particularly useful for independent artists and profiles who are doing their own social media marketing and trying to stand out amongst fierce competition. So what do so many views, listens, posts, photos, tweets, likes and comments really amount too? Orbiiit calculates these and gives profiles a daily rank number. For music industry and booking agents, this can be a way to discover who to book for their next year’s tours and festivals. Nader Navabi, CEO of Orbiiit says, “When users discover their position in their market by finding their position in Orbiiit charts, they will realize what their hard work on social media is really for.” As a result, Nader says he sees Orbiiit as a catalyst for driving user growth and engagement on other social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and SoundCloud. Orbiiit is available on the Web and iOS on Dec 1st, 2015 and Android to follow in the coming months.
Orbiiit is based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Founded in June 2014 by Nader Navabi. +1.604.649.4483

THE HISTORY OF
F
ounded by Sotirios Voulgaris in the year 1884, Bvlgari was born, an Italian luxury goods manufacturer. The name Bvlgari is derived from the founder s last name. The name is pronounced as Bulgari, this’s because the “V” in Latin alphabet is pronounced as “U’’.
Mr. Voulgaris was originally from Greece, while he was there, he acquired his unmatched knowledge of jeweler’s trade. He left Greece in 1877 in search of greener pastures before landing in Rome in the year 1881 where after three years he started his own company known as Bvlgari.
Mr. Voulgaris sons assisted him in opening the first shop known as Via Dei Condition in 1905 and soon it became famous and successful. Later on they joined the international market in 1970 in New York, Monte Carlo and later on in Geneva. Bulgaria's products now started gaining popularity even in hotel showrooms with their first venue being in Pierre Hotel in New York. Initially, Bulgaria was famous for its magnificent jewelry. Now the company has expanded its products to include watches, handbags, fragrances and hotels. Unbelievably, the first fragrance from Bulgaria was Eau Perfumer au Thé Vert in 1992.
Currently, Bvlgari has 54 perfume fragrances. Bvlgari fragrances were closely discovered and combined carefully in collaboration with famous perfumers as Annick Menardo, Jacques Cavallier, Alberto Morillas, Beatrice Piquet, Sophia Grojsman, Carlos Benaim, Olivier Polge, Sophie Labbe, Roche Andrier, Jean-Claude Ellena and Nathalie Lorson.

Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill & Enoteca 1133 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 5P6 (604) 688-7466 Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill & Enoteca are pleased to give you a fresh perspective on Mediterranean cooking with chef/owner Giuseppe “Pino” Posteraro, the 2008 Vancouver Magazine’s Chef of the Year, 2009 Restaurant of the Year and gold medal winner at the BC Gold Medal Plates (2007). The critically-acclaimed restaurants, favourites of celebrities, oenophiles, and food lovers, are consistent award-winners that are always looking ahead and staying fresh. Widely acknowledged as the best expression of Mediterranean cooking in British Columbia, Cioppino’s and its sister restaurant next door, Enoteca, offer two large patios, two open show kitchens, two full-service dining rooms, as well as several private rooms for corporate and special functions. Both meet the high expectations of thousands of diners every week.

PINO POSTERARO Nebras talks to Pino, chef and founder of the Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill & Enoteca
Who was the biggest inspirations for your career and how it inspires you? My mom. She taught me to respect the ingredient the way they are, this way food have their own character and taste the way they are. Today my philosophy for preparing food is “Respecting ingredient, keep it simple, clean and essential”. Where did you grow up and when did you know you wanted to be a chef? I grew up in Italy. “When I was studying to become a doctor, I worked summers in a restaurant,” explains Posteraro. “And every time people left the restaurant, they were smiling, because they were satisfied. When I was doing dialysis with patients, on the other hand, I saw how unhappy they were, and it was hard to watch them suffer. That’s when I realized that there was nothing more rewarding or energizing than working in [food service].” What is your favourite food memory? My favourite food memory is “Easter” when my mom was making nice dishes, such as baby goat with roasted potato.
What do you like to eat at home?
Are you the Chef at home?
I do very simple family dishes at home, anything with the sense of Mediterranean food to be share on the table. I don’t arrange the table the way I do in the restaurant. I like to cook a big roosted organic chicken or salmon with vegetable. Me and my family sit down around the table to enjoy the food.
I have 4 kids so my wife is busy. It’s easy and fast if I cook at home since I love cooking. For me cooking is not a job.
Are there any foods you just don’t like? Bad food …! Seriously I don’t like fast food. I never eat in the big chain Fast Food. You know those wraps which they all look natural? Wraps without sauce and flavour harm you the less with minimum damage. My kids enjoyed the fast food a lot when they were young and I was wondering as a chef what’s wrong with this image ….!? But now they have changed already. Which one is your favourite cookbook? Would like to write a cookbook yourself? My favourite cook book is “Ma Cuisine” written by Auguste Escoffier. I wrote a best seller book “Cioppino’s” in 2007 and it’s time to write another one. What do you do for fun except cooking?
Who in the food world do you most admire?
I learned how to enjoy physical activities, such as running.
I admire those chefs who have dedication. In Vancouver, I admire Japanese chef Hidekazu Tojo.
Where is your favorite place in the world?
Favourite food to cook with? What ever the season will gives us. I make sure I always have extra olive oil. Do you have a favorite wine? I got one of the biggest wineries in the world which has 3,800 labels, 45,000 bottles. I prefer to drink white wine lightly when I am off at home, because is easier, especially in summer season. I also really love two grape varieties which is hard to cultivate. But when they cultivated right, they are amazing. So white wine at home and red wine over all.
I will be very bios, my favourite place is my little hometown called Lago which has around 2,500 people. The simplicity of the life style give me unrepeatable memories. What do you most love about your job? “Every day is never the same”. If you had just one wish, what would it be? It would be if I could bring some people back to life, I could also say my wish becomes true because I have many of my love ones around me.
What is your favorite cuisine to cook? Why? I love Indian, Persian, Arabic, Moroccan, generally love every cuisine. I can make good foods from different cultures and cuisines. Tell me something you would like to learn or improve upon. I would like to learn about life. Life is about learning about people, the way they are living and being respectful. When you reach these task then you will feel complete and satisfy. Based on what you hear in the industry, what do you think are the most respected and prestigious culinary school in the world that really make a difference to students who graduate from these schools? Locally VCC (Vancouver Community College), CIA (Culinary Institute of America), 2 or 3 French and Swiss School which are good and professional. For Vancouver, I believe VCC has the best Program. Is there a major difference in the industry between graduating from a prestigious culinary school and graduating from a collage with culinary program? The Collage and prestigious culinary schools are hand in hand and very close together. I find the collages which government funded are very fine schools, which have very good talented instructors who are part of culinary team for Canada. We can strongly claim that Collages and prestigious culinary Schools have the same value and standards.
Biography
Interview with Award-winning Chef
Giuseppe (Pino) Posteraro was born in Lago, Italy March 22, 1964. At the age of twelve he came to Canada to visit his brother not realizing at the time that later in his life he would be making Canada his permanent home. After beginning training as a medical student, Pino changed track and decided to come to Canada to work for his brother in his restaurant. Pino later returned to Europe to study with Armando Zanetti, who became his mentor. Before returning to Canada he worked in several well known restaurants in Europe and Singapore. In 1999, Pino decided it was time to venture out on his own. He opened Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill in Yaletown in September of that year, providing Vancouver with an outstanding ItalianMediterranean restaurant which has gained many awards for its food and wine. Year after year, it is classed as one of Vancouver’s top fine dining restaurants. 27

Queen Elizabeth breaks record for longest reigning British monarch with her run of 63 years and 7 months By CORKY SIEMASZKO, New York Daily News
“Hers has been a long, rich life of service to her country, to the Commonwealth,” Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said. “We wish her and her loving, remarkable husband health and happiness in the years ahead.” There was no immediate comment from Prince Charles, 66, who has grown old waiting for his chance to assume the throne. But former Beatle Paul McCartney, or Sir Paul as he is officially called, tweeted his pride that his daughter Mary was chosen to take the official portrait of Elizabeth that appeared in many newspapers Wednesday.
On Sept. 9, 2015, Queen Elizabeth II became Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, surpassing Queen Victoria. The 89-year-old queen is pictured here at Buckingham Palace as she reaches the milestone of ruling for 63 years and seven months. (SPLASH NEWS)
Queen Elizabeth hit the record books Wednesday as the longest reigning monarch in British history at the appropriate hour — around tea time.
overseas, for your touching messages of great kindness,” Elizabeth, dressed in a two-tone blue coat and matching hat, told her adoring subjects after unveiling a plaque and marking the launch of a new train line. It was “not one to which I have ever aspired.”
“The reign of Queen Elizabeth has been a golden thread running through three post-war generations, and she’s presided over more than two thirds of our history as a full democracy,” Prime Minister David Cameron said.
Typically, Elizabeth refused to make a fuss about the milestone and she went about her business during an event at a Scottish railway station.
Photographs of the queen graced the covers of Britain’s newspaper with most of them following the lead of The Daily Telegraph, which called Elizabeth “our rock of stability for 63 years” in its headline.
“Her Majesty has served our country with unerring grace, dignity and decency and long may she continue to do so,” she said.
Her Majesty eclipsed the previous record holder — her great-great-grandmother Queens Victoria — at 5:30 p.m., their time.
“I thank you all, and all of the many others at home and 32
“What a way for me to celebrate the Queen’s achievement,” he wrote. “God bless us all.” Elizabeth, who is now a greatgrandmother, has ruled for 63 years and seven months, or 23,226 days. That’s longer than Henry VIII, who sat on the throne for 37 years, or her dad, George VI, who ruled for 15 years.

You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency. Dr. Linus Pauling Two-Time Nobel Prize Winner
Minerals in Human Body
Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral in your body, after calcium and phosphorous. Approximately 99% of the human body is comprised of minerals, yet minerals are generally overlooked when nutrition is considered. It is well known that the human body requires at least 60 minerals in order to maintain a disease and ailment free state. If this information is indeed true, it's easy to understand why sickness is so prevalent throughout the world, even in technologically advanced countries. The body can utilize minerals without vitamins, but vitamins and most other nutrients are basically useless in the absence of minerals. Extensive research is showing that without supplementation, it is not likely that we can eat enough food to get the full range of essential trace minerals required to obtain optimum health and longevity.
What is PureSul?
How PureSul Works?
There are two ways our body cells get oxygen. One is through breathing. The other is through ingesting (eating) Organic Sulfur. Sulfur enables the transport of oxygen across cell membranes, and oxygen is necessary for healthy cellular regeneration in mammals. Plants, on the other hand, plants require carbon dioxide for cell regeneration, and plants can store sulfur, while man cannot. Man eliminates carbon dioxide, and plants eliminate oxygen. Thus, the sulfur cycle is symbiotic and vital for life as we know it.
PureSul Benefits?
Sulfur, with an atomic number of 16, is known to bond with almost every other mineral. Sulfur has demonstrated its ability to detoxify heavy metals in conjunction with the transport of oxygen across the cell membrane, thus allowing regeneration. Sulfur is also the 99.85% PURE ORGANIC SULFUR key player as a requirement for the utilization of amino acids, the body’s building blocks. Of all of the amino acids, some 70 percent are sulfur-based. Muscle is made up of protein, cholesterol and organic sulfur.
Puresul is an organic form of Sulfur and a potent antioxidant, naturally found in many plants. Puresul is an ultra-pure, high quality organic Sulfur that is backed by numerous pre-clinical and clinical studies for safety and efficiency. Organic Sulfur, also called MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) which is made up of 34% sulfur is the third most abundant mineral in our bodies and is crucial to improving and maintaining good health. It is responsible for amino acid production, oxygen transport across cell membranes, full-body natural detoxification, skin health, blood pressure and circulatory regulation, scar tissue reduction, pain reduction, and damaged nerve regeneration. PureSul has been reported to aide in resolution of cancerous cellular growth and shrink a variety of tumors. Organic Sulfur is an essential element for life and has profound healing effects on our bodies.

Ancient and modern poets love bamboo. Banqiao Zheng left a lot of bamboo paintings and bamboo poetry. Su Shi's famous quote is "would rather eat no meat, can not live without bamboo". When the city tends to be more in the world of steel and concrete, the architects turned to a low-carbon green bamboo.
Lucky Bamboo Transparent Vase 富贵竹透明花器
"Bamboo element" can also be used for interior design, bamboo figure appeared in the lamps, decorative painting, jewelry, silent language to make the overall home being bathed in the breeze Sail. “竹元素”也可以用于室内装饰设计，竹的身影出现在灯具、装饰画、饰 品上，无声的语言让整体家居沐浴在竹韵清风之中。
古今文人墨客，爱竹咏竹者众多。郑板桥一生留 下了大量竹画和咏竹诗，苏轼留下“宁可食无肉， 不可居无竹”的传世名言。当城市越来越趋向于钢 筋水泥的世界时，建筑师们将目光转向了低碳环 保的竹子，竹子进入了现代建筑的行列。室雅何 须大，花香不在多。虽然我们无法置身与竹海之 中，但竹子的一枝一叶，早已散发着清新自然的 空间韵味。 Kengo Kuma designed the Great (Bamboo) Wall in Beijing, has been a sensation. Slender bamboo separated out of "Teahouse" is the crowning touch bamboo. You will see the Great Wall through the gaps between Bamboos. "Bamboo element" enrich the expressiveness of the building, separated by density bamboo wall let the whole "bamboo" cleverly integrated in nature, and that this is both a living environment of high taste, but also represents the harmonious coexistence of human and nature perfect nirvana. 隈研吾在北京长城脚下设计的“竹屋”曾轰动一 时。纤纤细竹隔出的“茶室”是竹屋的点睛之笔， 六面皆竹，透过竹缝可见长城的烽火台。 “竹元 素”丰富了建筑的表现力，疏密相隔的竹墙让整 座“竹屋”巧妙地融合在自然之中，这既是对居住 环境的高的品味，也代表着人与自然和谐共存的 绝妙佳境。 Jugetsudo Kabukiza by KENGO KUMA. The tearoom is entirely covered with bamboo as many as 3,000. The unitized bamboos are either in the diameter of 20mm or 40mm, which are skewered in varied density using bolts and nuts.
同样是隈研吾作品，寿月堂茶室，整个空间覆盖了由直径为20mm或 40mm的3,000多竹条，不同密度组合创建了一个小树林般的感觉。

LITTLE THINGS THAT BOOST
CURB APPEAL By Sina Tajbakhsh www.sinahomes.ca “Curb appeal”. You’ve probably heard that term used before. It refers to how valuable and enticing your house looks from the outside, typically from the perspective of a potential buyer “standing on the curb”. Many people focus on preparing the inside of their house for sale, and neglect preparing the outside. This is a mistake. Studies confirm that curb appeal has a huge influence over how quickly your house will sell, and for how much. How do you improve curb appeal?
You don’t need to do a major landscaping renovation! In fact, small improvements often make the biggest difference… improvements you can easily do over a weekend. Here are some suggestions: 1.
Clean the outside of front windows. Make them sparkle!
3.
Prune shrubs and trim trees.
2. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Remove grass, weeds and other unwanted growth between driveway and walkway stones. Re-sod bare spots on the lawn.
Edge the lawn. (A simple task that can have a dramatic visual impact)
Water the flowerbed. (Flowers look brighter and more healthy within one hour of watering) Sweep the walkway and driveway. Rake the leaves.
Remove signs such as “Beware of dog” and “No solicitations”. Check the welcome mat. If it’s worn or dirty, replace it.
10. Also, consider buying some attractive potted flowers to put near the entranceway. They are worth the investment.
As you can see, it doesn’t take much to boost the curb appeal of your house. Just a little work and a few added details will make a big difference. 78
Need more ideas for increasing the “sales appeal” of your house? Call me today.
