TOKYO — Japanese semiconductor company Renesas Electronics plans to eliminate roughly 1000 jobs — equivalent to 5% of its entire workforce. Cuts are targeted at those working in Japan.
Renesas will soon start soliciting a voluntary early retirement.
Renesas, which will announce its fourth quarter financial results Friday, told EE Times that the move reflects the Japanese semiconductor company’s desire to spend more resources on its business opportunities overseas. | 2019-04-21T22:05:12 | https://www.design-reuse.com/news/45514/renesas-cut-1-000-jobs-in-japan.html |
Wool is the hair from a sheep, goat, camel or one of its relatives, like the alpaca. The gold standard of high end carpeting, wool has a lustrous feel, resists static and stains and is naturally flame retardant. The downside of wool is that it is expensive and so is often blended with other fibers such as nylon and polyester.
Nylon is a synthetic fiber. Indeed, it is the strongest and the most popular of the synthetic fibers and resists mildew and stains.
Polyester looks like wool but is much less expensive. It can be used anywhere in the home, including high traffic areas and is famous for its bright colors. However, it is subject to matting.
Acrylic is also very wool-like and is mildew, insect and abrasion resistant. It also comes in a wide range of bright colors, but has a tendency to pill with time.
This synthetic fiber can be used indoors or outdoors. This is because it’s very tough and nonabsorbent. It’s the most stain-resistant fiber of those mentioned.
Many different species of oak are used for flooring, including red and white. Quartered oak is a type of oak where the planks have been sawed through the center of the tree, which makes the grain more decorative.
Maple is a strong, hard, light-colored wood.
Birch is similar to maple in that it’s light and strong, and has a fine-grain. It can be stained to mimic more expensive woods such as mahogany or walnut.
Beech can come from America or Europe and it resembles both birch and maple.
Walnut is a light brown wood that’s grown on every continent but Antarctica. A homeowner has a choice of English or black walnut or white walnut, or butternut. Walnut was once such a popular wood for furnishings that there’s a period named after it that dated from around 1660 to 1720.
This much sought after tropical hardwood has a gorgeous reddish hue and an equally beautiful grain. | 2019-04-20T20:41:08 | http://www.madeinhaliburton.ca/most-popular-carpet-and-wood-flooring-material/ |

It has been taught to people from early childhood about how important a good posture is. Not only does good posture make individuals look better and self confident, but also is healthy for the body. People with good posture are not prone to bulging stomach and humps in their back and also look more appealing. Now, the thing about posture is that it is developed from the daily habits of individuals and any repetitive action can become a habit and therefore most people have bad posture owing to their occupation. For example, office workers, truck drivers, car drivers and people who have to sit throughout a long part of the day. Not only are these individuals prone to bad posture but also some severe disorders related to it, like back pain, neck pain, scoliosis etc. This is where the use of posture brace for women, men and children come into scene.
Poor posture is a fairly new but really damaging problem in the first world which most people do not even realize. Bad posture has been causing more mental as well as physical health complications than imaginable. The human body is prepared and designed for movement and not for sitting for several hours without enough movement. With time, sitting all the time becomes a bad habit, and this bad habit causes fatigue, pain, headaches and depression.
Slouching and poor posture tend to cause bad mood. A slouching posture of an individual prevents him/her to work optimally. Inability to produce optimal output causes individuals to have poor mood.
Sitting for an extended time period or slouching causes the internal body processes to slow down and hence causing energy levels to decrease. This makes individuals irritable, aggravated or tired.
Poor posture causes the body to compress and constrict, thereby, making the lungs and heart work harder to circulate oxygen and pump blood. This causes a lot of stress on the internal organs and muscles.
Not only does sitting or slouching compresses and constricts heart and lungs but also the intestines and stomach; thus causing different digestive problems like acid refluxes or even hernias. Also, not only does bad posture weakens the digestive system but also causes individuals to develop that belly pouch.
Also known widely as “clavicle braces”, posture braces are products which are required to assist people to relieve back pain, correct poor posture, prevent shoulder slump by prevented upper body support. These products come in various sizes, colours and designs. Posture braces can be both gender specific as well as unisexual i.e there is an availability of specific posture brace for women, men and for children. These are excellent tools to assist individuals to get their posture back in order.
There are numerous more negative effects of poor posture like poor breathing, back shoulder and neck pains and tension headaches. Posture braces are great ways to correct the posture and avoid numerous bodily problems. | 2019-04-23T00:29:48 | http://astronomycommunication.com/latest/negative-effects-of-poor-posture-and-posture-braces/ |

One of the more obscure monuments in Tovste commemorates the death of a Turkish Pasha, who is thought to have died in battle around 1673.
The small stone monument is said to refer to a chieftain killed during an uprising that started near Jagielnica (about 10 km away) and moved to Tluste. It is thought that he died and was buried near a narrow road that once passed through the area, presently occupied by houses.
By way of historical background the Turks and their allies, the Cossacks and Tartars, had invaded the Polish territory of Podolia in 1671, and had achieved widespread military success. Poland was compelled to sign the so-called Treaty of Buczacz in October 1672, under the terms of which Podolia and the southern part of Ukraine became part of the Turkish Empire. Over the next eleven years of Turkish control, new administrative divisions were introduced and saw Tluste fall under the supervision of Chortkiv.
The monument to the Pasha is located next to a shed belonging to a private dwelling on Shkilna Str. Partially buried and hidden under a woodpile, it is only about 20-25 cm wide and about 50-70 cm high. In the 1970s or 1980s, an archaeologist from Ternopil confirmed that the inscription – which, today, one can barely discern – was consistent with ‘Arabic’ (sic) script. No one is sure whether or not the grave may have been looted over the centuries.
Interestingly, the townspeople of Tovste have always known about the monument, considering it to be a ‘magic stone’ that will bring harm if it is touched. Care was taken to avoid it when ploughing the fields. The current occupants of the house were the last to move onto Shkilna Str. in the early 1960s, taking possession of the one remaining vacant lot on the street. While their house and shed were being constructed, the builder wanted to move the stone, but the owner objected and it was left in place. A proposal to relocate the stone to the museum around the 1980s was similarly rejected by the neighbours, saying that to move it would bring bad consequences.

Melissa populates a space with plinths. Feels compelled to blog about how clever this is.
This is an image taken today of the Showcase Gallery, at the CIT, Northbridge. (WA, y’all) Next door is an even larger gallery being used for the massive Graduate Metal XII show, that was also in the process of being mounted today. When I say also, the plinths finished and the wall boards prepped is as far as I got today in our space. This is the calm before the storm. Tomorrow, it pours jewels!
2 teaspoons. two teaspoon plans. what will they become?

Borja Iglesias celebrates a goal.
Having spent a successful season on loan with Real Zaragoza last season, Borja Iglesias has fond memories of the region of Aragon and now he has another one, having scored the brace that moved Espanyol into second place.
The striker scored the only two goals of the 2-0 win as his current team visited Aragonese side Huesca in LaLiga Santander.
Just five minutes in he had a great chance, but he was flagged for offside.
Yet Iglesias did finally score just before the half time break, converting a Didac Vila cross in the 41st minute, even if this goal also had to be checked by VAR for offside, with it decided there was none.
Victor Sanchez then had a goal ruled out for offside five minutes into the second half, before Iglesias did make it 2-0 in the 64th minute, finishing well when through one on one against Aleksandar Jovanovic.
The remainder of the game was a fiery affair, with fouls, bookings, VAR consultations and nine minutes of stoppage time.
Yet Espanyol weathered the storm and now sit second, just one point behind city rivals Barcelona. | 2019-04-21T13:24:38 | https://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/cronica/2018/10/21/5bccca8de5fdeabb6e8b4627.html |
Comprised of 63% Chardonnay and 37% Pinot Noir, this wine has fine bubbles, with fresh aromas of citrus fruit, green apple and baked bread. Midweight and creamy on the palate, well balanced, with a long clean finish.
Selected in the vineyard for making sparkling wines, the two plots of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were harvested early to ensure the final wine had moderate alcohol, and sufficient acidity. Picked by hand and gently pressed in fractions, the clear juice was fermented at cold temperatures in stainless steel. Based on the 2014 vintage the “cuvee” was blended, with wines dating back to 2009. The blend was then cold stabilized and sterile filtered. Secondary fermentation took place in the bottle and was aged on its lees for 30 months before riddling and disgorging. | 2019-04-21T03:18:16 | https://www.fieldingwines.com/wine/nv-traditional-method-sparkling-brut |

This article first appeared in The Baptist Preacher’s Journal 13 (Spring 2003): 44-47.
One of my responsibilities as Library Director at Baptist Bible College is overseeing the development of our library’s collection. Over the last seven years we’ve spent more than $350,000 on books, periodicals, on-line databases, and other media. Needless to say, I’ve learned a lot about selecting library resources during this time.
Of course, building one’s private library is different from developing a collection to support the research activities of hundreds of students and faculty. Nevertheless, I’ve found that many of the strategies I employ in building the Vick Library’s collection have served me well as I’ve expanded my personal library. Below I will share seven principles of library development that should enable readers to build effective collections while wasting minimal amounts of time, money, and shelf space.
Several months ago, I asked my pastor, Bill Kolb, what advice he would offer preachers concerning the development of their libraries. He emphatically responded, “Plan to spend money.” While this counsel may seem trite to the preacher who can’t let a week pass without buying a few books, it is true that some will not accumulate resources simply because they don’t allocate money to do so. My pastor explained that during the first half of his ministry he didn’t place a priority on building his library. Over time he has come to view his books as the tools of a man who takes his work seriously.
Planning to spend money is also necessary because it is tempting to fill one’s library with inexpensive books. I have personally bought many books simply because they were cheap, regardless of their quality or usefulness. However, I have come to realize that a book’s price is often a reflection of its value. This isn’t to say that there are no true bargains on the market, but we shouldn’t be as concerned with cost as with quality. I’ll say more about making wise selections later in this article.
A second principle modifies our understanding of the first: We must resolve that bigger is not necessarily better. As a matter of principle, it is better to buy one costly, high-quality book than five inexpensive ones that will prove to be of little substance. A classmate of mine accumulated a library at a rapid pace as he went through Bible college. By the time we graduated, his library consisted of some 3,000 volumes—many, I am afraid, chosen quite uncritically. I surmise that in recent years he has come to question some of his selections, not least because of the student loans he assumed in order to support his book-buying habit.
The bottom line is that we should exercise discipline in acquiring material for our libraries. If we find little use for a particular volume, we should sell it or give it to someone who can use it. For some of us, weeding our collections may prove quite painful. Several months ago I read of a church music library that housed scores for more than 2,600 anthems. If the church’s choir were to sing a different anthem from its collection each week, it wouldn’t repeat a number for more than 50 years! Quite obviously, some weeding could have saved storage space, left behind a higher-quality collection, and benefited a less fortunate church.2 The same may be true of our personal libraries.
It is no secret that we live in an information-rich society. Information is available to us in a mind-boggling array of media. An increasing amount of information of interest to pastors and missionaries is available in digital form. In this context, you must choose the media and formats that will make up your library. I use the word library loosely here. Etymologically, the word signifies a collection of books. Of course, we have come to understand that libraries house much more than just books: periodicals, sound and video recordings, software, and more. However, in recent years, libraries of all types have faced the dilemma of relinquishing ownership of collections in favor of access to on-line information.
As a result, today’s preacher may choose Bible study resources in three basic forms: in print (books, periodicals, etc.), on digital media (diskettes, CD-ROMs, etc.), or via the World Wide Web. Each medium has its strengths and weaknesses. Paper-based media are relatively expensive and difficult to transport; in addition, they lack sophisticated search tools. However, the information they contain will remain usable for decades. Digital media are often more affordable (in part due to lower production costs) and take up very little space, but may be incompatible with computer operating systems and/or hardware in the future.
Web-based resources often provide powerful search options, but may become unavailable suddenly. Free sites usually provide little up-to-date, copyrighted material; they may also contain annoying advertisements. While fee-based sites feature access to current literature with little or no advertising, information is available only as long as one maintains a subscription. In addition, both digital and Web-based media are difficult to use in some places and situations, and may prevent the user from performing seemingly legitimate operations (cutting and pasting, printing, etc.). As a consequence, no medium should be touted as best for all preachers. One’s choice of media should take account of factors such as affordability, quality, ease of use, reliability, and portability.
An additional dimension of the media/format equation is the fact that research resources—both print and electronic—appear in the form of reference materials, monographs, and periodical literature. It is easy to conceive of a library as a collection of books on specific topics (i.e., monographs). However, there is much to be said for building a personal library in which reference and periodical literature occupy a prominent place. Both consist of fairly brief articles that can be digested more easily than a typical book.
Periodical literature often allows a researcher to locate information that is more current than that contained in reference works and monographs. In addition, it addresses specialized topics that are not covered in monographs for one reason or another.3 Reference works organize information in ways that make it easy to locate and use. Certain kinds of reference works, including dictionaries, encyclopedias, and handbooks—actually systematize knowledge.
By definition, reference works are sources designed to be consulted in part rather than read as a whole. (When was the last time you curled up in an easy chair to devour a volume of Encyclopaedia Britannica?) Reference resources relevant to Christian ministry include dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, surveys, commentaries, lexicons, and concordances. Whether in print or electronic form, they are absolutely essential to effective sermon and lesson preparation. This leads us to a fourth principle: Build your reference collection first.
In helping hundreds of library users over the years, I have found that a high percentage of questions—especially questions of fact—can be answered simply by consulting appropriate reference sources. In addition, reference articles are a logical place to begin one’s research: They define terms, provide overviews of topics, and list resources for further reading. Therefore, it makes little sense for a preacher to focus on building another segment of his library before acquiring a critical mass of reference works.
What sorts of reference resources should a pastor or missionary own? Most importantly, he should collect in the area of biblical studies: Bible dictionaries and encyclopedias; concordances and indexes of Bible words, phrases, and topics; Bible commentaries of various lengths and types; introductions to the Old and New Testaments; lexical resources to support study in the biblical languages; and bibliographies that will guide him in further reading on biblical topics. But the preacher’s reference collection should extend far beyond the Bible, to systematic theology, various areas of practical theology (preaching, missions, counseling, leadership, worship, education, ethics, etc.), and church history.
Accumulating a collection such as I have just described is no small task. In fact, nearly eight years out of Bible college, I still find myself acquiring more reference resources than monographs or periodicals. While my personal collection is admittedly lacking in works on a variety of topics, my library supports robust study for lessons and sermons. My strategy for acquiring topical works—and for commentaries on specific books of the Bible as well—is simple: I purchase materials as my ministry requires it.
All of this leads to a very important question: How is one to choose commentaries (and other sources) wisely? Students often ask me if I can recommend a commentary on a particular Bible book, or a monograph on a particular topic. My answer is a qualified “yes.” I do not necessarily know what the best books or commentaries are, but I know how to find out.4 I understand that it is impossible for me to master a wide range of disciplines, and am willing to consider others’ advice.
Some months ago I was beginning to prepare a Sunday School lesson series on the book of Romans. Quite obviously, I would need to consult some commentaries as I worked on my lessons. I was inundated with available sources. (The Vick Library’s catalog lists 96 commentaries on Romans, not including some that are in sets on the New Testament or the entire Bible.) Faced with this dilemma, I chose to look at bibliographies and book reviews in order to identify the source(s) that would suit me best. Through the testimony of a number of experts, I found a high-quality, up-to-date commentary that was readable, yet did not ignore technical issues.
When I need to identify a well-respected work in an unfamiliar area, I typically appeal to bibliographies. Sometimes I am content to refer to the works cited at the end of an encyclopedia article on my topic. For example, The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, 4th edition, lists eight titles at the end of its entry on 2 Corinthians. (This is one reason why it’s important to have an adequate supply of reference works on hand.) On other occasions I consult specialized bibliographies such as those by Cyril Barber, Robert Krauss, Jr., D. A. Carson, Tremper Longman, III, and Charles Spurgeon.5 I also make use of book reviews, which appear in a wide variety of periodicals. (Having access to book reviews is one argument for including key periodicals in your library.) If I find that several authorities agree on the quality of a work, I feel greater confidence in acquiring it.
I propose two other ways of identifying the “best” books on a subject: First, solicit the opinion of peers and mentors. Your friends, associates, former professors, and ministry mentors may be able to supply valuable advice. Second, if at all possible, examine materials in a bookstore or on the Web before purchasing them. Doing so may save you the frustration of buying an item that will prove to be of little value to you.
A sixth principle of library development is this: Take advantage of local library resources. If you are fortunate enough to live near a Christian library,6 you can use its resources for your own study and experiment with materials firsthand as you decide what to buy for yourself. Even public libraries have much to offer to ministers. Nearly forty years ago, Marie Loizeaux observed that public libraries might inform ministers concerning statistics, social trends, current affairs, modern culture, and more.7 Many public libraries now offer their patrons access to massive databases via their Web sites, making it possible to do some research without ever visiting the library. Becoming familiar with local library resources allows you to focus your collection efforts in the areas that are most needful.

3 Responses to a survey administered by The Baptist Preacher in 1996 suggested that pastors associated with the Baptist Bible Fellowship are not taking advantage of challenging periodical literature. Of particular concern was the finding that only 16% of respondents regularly read theological journals. Readership of specific periodicals was reported as follows: Christianity Today (11%); Leadership (19%); Sword of the Lord (49%); Pulpit Helps (55%); and other publications (62%). This data, never reported in print, was obtained from Keith Bassham, Executive Editor of the Baptist Bible Tribune and The Baptist Preacher, 11 Sept. 2002.

We made a delivery of a Zelkova table. The zelkova came from Shiga-ken. It was the base part of the tree, so the outline of the roots by which the weight of the whole tree was supported is clearly visible in the grain.
It was originally a 2 meter slab but the customer wanted two separate tables, and combine them together when they have guests. For normal days, they will use the large table as a dining table and the small table as a personal desk. | 2019-04-24T12:28:11 | http://blog.kirakumokkobo.com/?eid=150 |

Gone ‘Til November | A Consequence of Hypoglycemia.
Thankful to have insurance and the ability to book an appointment with a new endocrinologist in San Francisco. Bummed that it’s in November.
The good news is I’ve scheduled an appointment with a local endocrinologist. The not so good news is that it’s in November – that’s the soonest I could get in as a new patient. The somewhat comforting news is that my existing prescriptions, and refills will last me until then. But the bummer is that I’m officially locked into my current diabetes treatment until I meet my new doctor.
What bums me out the most is that I have to wait until November to find out if this endocrinologist will be a good fit for me. Do they take the time to listen instead of waiting for her turn to talk? What are their thoughts on the value of social media and peer-to-peer support structures? Do I mention my blog as soon as possible? Should I go in with a list of questions? (Yes) What should be on that list?
Thankfully, I’ll have plenty of time to get back in shape and offer up a legitimate A1c by the time my appointment comes up. First impressions are everything, right? But as I continue to mull over switching to an insulin pump I’m not sure if this wait will become the tipping point that favors the switch, or delays it for another indeterminate amount of time.
Regardless of how I eventually decide to treat my diabetes, I need to rebuild my exercise habits.
I just need to remember: baby steps to a better version of me. | 2019-04-24T16:27:01 | https://tobesugarfree.com/2014/05/27/gone-til-november/ |

This means that we have no control over the amount of information that the respective provider collects with the help of its own plugin, or how it then uses that information. If the user is not yet a customer of the provider or has not (yet) consented there to having his/her data collected and used, we recommend not clicking on these plugins. If, on the other hand, the user is already a customer of the plugin provider, he/she should refer directly to the relevant provider for information on the kind and amount of personal data it collects and uses, and for what purpose.
When you use any of the Thoughtfish games or applications on a mobile platform, we may collect and record certain information such as your unique device ID (persistent / non-persistent), hardware type, media access control (“MAC”) address, international mobile equipment identity (“IMEI”), the version of your operating system (“OS”), your device name, your email address (if you have connected to Facebook or Google+), and your location (based on your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address). This information is useful to us for troubleshooting and helps us understand usage trends.
We may collect your location based information for the purpose of making the game work properly on your device (Fightlings is a location-aware game, altering your gaming experience according to time, weather and location) and providing you with the correct version of the application. If you no longer wish to allow us to track or use this information, you may turn it off at the device level. Please not:, the application may not work properly if we are unable to tell where you are or where you are coming from (country-specific).

Thoughtfish uses plugins to enable the invitation of Friends via Facebook, from the social networking site facebook.com. These plugins are operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins can either be identified by one of the Facebook logos (a white “f” on a blue tile or a “thumbs up” sign), or by being specially marked “Facebook Social Plugin”.
If a user pushes the button “Invite via Facebook”, his or her internet browser connects directly with the Facebook servers. Facebook sends the content of the plugins directly to the user’s browser and back. Since we have absolutely no control over the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of these plugins, we would like to share our latest knowledge with you: If the user is logged in on Facebook at the same time, Facebook can allocate the visit to the user’s personal Facebook account. If the user interacts with the plugins, that information is immediately transmitted by the browser directly to Facebook, where it is saved. If the user is not using Facebook, the service can still collect and store the IP address. More information on how much data is collected and why, and how it is then processed and used by Facebook, as well as details about the users’ rights and the settings available for protecting users’ privacy, can be obtained from Facebook’s data protection policy at www.facebook.com/policy.php. If a user has signed up to Facebook but does not want Facebook to collect data and link it up with the data stored on Facebook, he/she must log off Facebook. If you have no Facebook account and/or have not (yet) consented to have your data collected and used by Facebook, we recommend you not use or activate Facebook plugins.

A Vanderbilt special education research team served as guest editors of the January issue of Exceptional Children, the distinguished research journal of the Council for Exceptional Children.
Douglas Fuchs, Nicholas Hobbs Professor of Special Education; and Lynn S. Fuchs, the Dunn Family Professor of Psychoeducational Assessment, co-edited the issue, choosing the theme of moderator analysis.
The Fuchs asked five accomplished intervention researchers to join them in writing for the issue, and seven research papers are featured. Each team selected a previously published intervention study on which to conduct moderator analysis, examining whether at-risk students’ pretreatment performance in reading or mathematics interacts with the effects of intervention.
An eighth and final article is authored by two respected quantitative psychologists at Vanderbilt, Kristopher Preacher and Sonya Sterba. Together they reflect on study findings and comment on methodological implications for guiding future work.

Croatia is best known as a dream getaway for a perfect holiday. It has everything to satisfy the fantasy of any vacationer. Most famous historical places, untouched nature, hidden beaches where the water is so clear that the boats in sea appear like they are floating in the air, not to mention the gastronomy, and this is just the beginning. As expeienced guides we would love to invite you to join us on our Blue Cave and six island tour. Blue Cave is a natural phenomenom which is situated 1 hour and 30 minutes from Split's main harbor, on Biševo island. The next destination will be surprise destination - but it wouldn't be a surprise if we revel it to you now. The Monk seal Cave consists of a spacious outer part, and the inner narrow and darker part with the underwater opening to the partially shaded place where it housed a type of seals that got the name, the Mediterranean Sea Bear. The local people called him Sea Bear or Sea Cow, while his Latin name was Monachus monachus, in translation - a monk. In this 70-meter-long and 4-meter-wide cave they lived, they were born and perhaps died, also nicknamed the sirens of the Bisevo island. The last ones were seen somewhere in the 60s of last century. The cave is very mysterious and attractive, and the attractiveness increases if you are lucky maybe to see one of the sea bears.Stiniva is one of the most famous coves on Vis island, and certainly has the most unusual form. It is located on the south side of the island, bordered by high cliffs that leave only four meters close to the entrance from the sea. After passing through the "door" , it opens a beautiful rounded bay with a pebble beach. Stiniva was declared the most beautiful beach in Europe in 2015. Our next destination is a small paradise on earth situated between 3 islets Blue Lagoon on Budikovac island. Blue Lagoon is one of the prettiest locations in the middle part of the Adriatic for snorkeling and swimming. Here you can let your self be lazy and enjoy in tranquility in one of the most beautiful seas in the world. The next location that will leave you breathless is Pakleni islands or translated to english The Devil's island. Don't worry there is no burning flames but they are most beautiful island complex in Adriatic sea. Over 20 hidden beaches and bays this place will wake explorer in you and make you wanna stay. From Pakleni islands we are heading to the most famous island in Croatia, Hvar island ( Hvar town - which is probably one of the most beautiful harbors in the world ) . In Hvar you will have some free time to discover the Old Town, climb the Fortress or just get lost in the small narrow streets like locals do. We let you get acquainted with the town by yourselves. One of the most popular boat tours is certanly this one, it is one of those tours that make you ask for more, and it is a perfect way to discover the undiscovered. | 2019-04-25T01:48:33 | https://www.lonelyplanet.com/croatia/activities/blue-cave-and-six-island-tour-from-split/a/pa-act/v-14226P4/358781 |

Note: This post was originally posted on growthmarketingconference.com.
The most common questions we're asked at Scripted.com are, "What's the ROI on a blog post?" or "How do I know if I'm doing this content marketing thing right?"
Until recently, we didn't have insight into these answers because we only delivered the writing.
But, we recently launched our Scripted Analytics product and now have the ability to dive into the most difficult questions that content marketers face.
We're excited to share them with you now!
First, let's define some important key concepts.
Evergreen content. We define an evergreen post as one that continues to drive readers to your blog one year after it was published. Evergreen posts have, via good writing, interesting and lasting topics - or good distribution - remained popular and accessible by readers. A post about the history of a product category would be more likely to have lasting engagement, and therefore remain evergreen, than a post about a specific product release. Evergreen posts are the gift that keeps on giving, driving readers to your blog long after publishing.
Viral content. When one of your recent posts clearly dominates your recent traffic, we define that as viral. Not everything you push out will get on the front page of Reddit and Buzzfeed, but if it performs far better than your other recent posts, we view that as viral relative to your baseline. Viral content can signal hot topics for your readers while also providing clues as to which distribution channels work best for your content.
Users, Visits, and Time on Page. Each of these statistics is trackable and each surfaces a different facet of your customer engagement. Users shows how many unique individuals came to read a post on your blog. Visits tells you how many times they returned. Time on Page informs you of their overall interest. The longer you keep your customers engaged, the more likely they are to convert.
The dark blue section represents the volume of traffic coming in from evergreen content (published more than one year ago), the lighter blue section is transitioning content (published between 3 and 12 months ago,) and the faint blue on top is recent content published in the past 3 months.
These time frames are all relative to the week you select, by mousing over and clicking. The sum of these distinct cohort streams, as shown by their stacking up, represents your total blog traffic.
A successful evergreen donut has most of its mass in the "All Other Posts" category.
This means that there is no one single post responsible for evergreen traffic, which makes your readership less vulnerable to shifts in distribution channels (a linking partner changing a post, a social media drive ending, a front page mention timing out) or topic fatigue.
A diverse post portfolio in your evergreen chart ensures a lasting and stable traffic base for your blog.
The counterpart to the evergreen donut, the recent donut, seeks to inform you about which of your recent posts are performing best.
Posts are like diverse experiments in reader interest, and this chart quickly highlights which experiments are going well. The ideal recent donut has most of its traffic driven by a few superstars, which, with the right focus on distribution, will ideally trickle down the streamgraph over time to become part of your evergreen bedrock.
If the evergreen and recent donuts inform you on the 'what' of your successful content, the sources donut clues you into the 'how'.
Marketing campaigns via social or email marketing, paid ads, or good ol' organic search can quickly be surfaced here.
Armed with the knowledge of which posts are most engaging to users from the evergreen and recent donuts, the sources donut can direct efforts to reach customers in the ways that have been most successful to you in the past - and track the progress of new ventures.
Let's look at three examples of real company blog analytics and discuss what we can learn from them.
Evergreen Decay is a blog that initially looks spectacular, with high weekly traffic flow and an abundance of evergreen content. However, on close examination of the cohort streams, we can identify a stale content strategy as the primary cause of an overall slow decay.
Even the most engaging content will get less readership over time due to topic saturation and changing reader interests.
In this case, too much of this blog's traffic is coming from evergreen content. Some weeks, evergreen content accounts for 90% of traffic.
While that speaks to the quality of the writing and distribution of old posts, without new content to interest readers, the overall engagement of the blog is steadily dropping. Fresh content is almost non-existent in some weeks, meaning the company is not continuing to publish new content or distribute its new content successfully.
This is slowing performance partially masked by the strength of their evergreen cohort, but without replenishment, reader interest is slowly grinding down.
This company needs to post new content regularly again.
They should look at both recent and evergreen posts in their donut charts that have been successful and expand upon those topics, while also promoting these posts via the distribution channels from the sources chart that have traditionally worked well.
In contrast to the Evergreen Decay blog, this Healthy Baby shows a lot of promise.
This blog has the breakdown of recent to evergreen traffic that we've seen as indicative of the best-performing blogs: about 2/3 evergreen and 1/3 new posts.
This way, the new posts will convert to transitioning, and eventually to evergreen, diversifying this blog's content age and engagement. We found that despite two hiccups in their traffic - which were unfortunate instances of blog downtime in March and April - their readership steadily increased.
These guys simply need to maintain! Their topics and choices of distribution channels are building up readership quickly and keeping it engaged with a diverse content offering. They should strive for better uptime so readers don't shy away from their blog. Other than that, it appears to keep moving up and to the right.
In our final example, we see the Growing Pains blog, a new blog that is having trouble getting off the ground and really engaging with readers.
At a glance, overall traffic trends positively, but a closer look reveals some trouble areas.
An overwhelming part of the traffic is driven by fresh content, but despite high levels of conversion to the transition stream, very little of that early, successful content is converting into evergreen. This means that a large portion of traffic is dependent on recent blog posts as opposed to a more diverse offering, making day to day traffic shaky and unpredictable.
Compounding this problem, topics selected for these blog posts aren't carrying weight with readers or being distributed in successful channels, resulting in a fast decay with no evergreen conversion.
This team needs to identify topics with evergreen potential by analyzing the few posts that have withstood the test of time.
They might also consider using popular trending topics to make their posts more widely accessible. We also recommend that they diversify their distribution channels and track which ones really work over the coming weeks, then double down on those channels.
The key here is to make sure that the posts they publish recently are getting traffic long after publication.
About two-thirds of your blog's traffic should come from evergreen posts.
Your evergreen traffic should come from a variety of posts, distributed evenly, rather than just a few high performers.
About one-third of your blog's traffic should come from recent posts.
Your recent post traffic should be spikey, with a few posts going (relatively) viral among your readers and their followers.
If you can maintain this traffic profile while publishing consistently, you will see your overall blog traffic growth snowball upward as recent posts transition into evergreen posts.
It matters because the more minutes that visitors spend on your site, the more likely they are to convert. This conversion could be as simple as signing up for a newsletter or demo, or going all the way through an e-commerce shopping cart purchase. This is a numbers game, and the more activity at the top of the funnel will drive conversions through the bottom of the funnel.
Whether you use our Scripted Analytics tool or any number of other blogging analytics products, the important takeaway is that it's critical to discover trends in your content's performance.
If you see that recent content is not performing well, you have to address it quickly or risk compromising future growth from evergreen content. There's a discipline involved here in maintaining both a macro and a micro view of your blog, but the benefits will pay off. I promise!

I decided to make Tankard for a personal project and then figured why not put it on github as I am working on it. Tankard is very immature at the moment. I plan on adding support for all of the get routes to the BreweryDB Api. I've also been pretty interested in Jruby as of late and wanted to make Tankard thread safe.
If you visit rubygems you can find the documentation for a specific gem release.
Issues can be reported right here on the git repo. Everyone is encouraged to write an issue if they encounter a bug or have a feature request.
I will be accepting pull requests once I get most of the endpoints implemented. Check back soon for more details.

This handsome little guy is Coco. He is a happy guy that enjoys playing with his toys and giving kisses to his foster family.
Coco has been with his foster family for a week now and he is doing excellent on a leash with a harness. He enjoys the walks throughout the neighbourhood; however he can startle easily with too much action around him. He has learned to stay by his human’s side when we approach other people or someone on a bike and this helps him peacefully walk along beside you. He is crated trained during the day when his foster family is out and is as quiet as a mouse. It seems he is house trained as he has not had any accidents in the house since his arrival.
He is timid with humans (more so men) at first but warms up nicely and is super sweet and playful once he feels comfortable around you. The movements of children make Coco nervous. He will bark, and act defensive, and try to run away. He would do best in a home with no small children.
Coco is always polite when there is food around. He will sit nicely for treats and while his foster mom gets his meals ready. During family dinners, he never begs or jumps up towards the table for food. He has not shown any interest in chewing on anything in his foster home except his toys and a large dog bone (which he carries around the house with him). He is even willing to trade his bone or any toy for some snuggles.
He is young and still has some puppy characteristics to work on; such as when excited he will nip in play. Obedience classes are a must for Coco He has a good appetite which will help with obedience training and understands the command ‘sit’ to receive a treat. He is currently on a grain free diet and loves cut up vegetables as a treat. He also enjoys car rides.
Coco sleeps through the night in the master bedroom on his foster parent’s bed. He loves his sleep and is never ready to get up when the alarm goes off. Coco does not need a backyard as he is happy to do his business outside on a walk. He has had exposure to another small female dog (his age and size) and loves to play and run with her; however, he does not need another dog in his forever home as he enjoys all of the attention himself. | 2019-04-21T02:13:16 | http://savemedogrescue.ca/dog/coco-2/ |

Au Parc - the cutest restaurant off the park. My home away from home. The table muster is to die for.
Annam Gourmet Market - on the second level they make great sandwiches and cheese plates.
Black Cat - if you want a taste of Western food, they have huge hamburgers.
Le Pub - Vietnamese and Western food. Located on a little side street in Pham Ngu Lao.
They also have trivia once a week. | 2019-04-23T22:43:27 | http://www.longwayaroundseven.com/2009/09/vietnam-ho-chi-minh-city-backpacker.html |

Are you [tag]new to investing[/tag]? Were you thinking you would [tag]start investing[/tag] some [tag]money[/tag] in the [tag]stock market[/tag] to make some [tag]additional income[/tag], but you have no idea how to start? Don’t worry, we all were beginners once, so do I. This article shall give you an “implementation & operational” manual on [tag]how to start investing[/tag]. I would guess you want to start from the beginning so let me start from scratch.
For investing in the stock market you would need some [tag]initial capital[/tag] to start. Ideally you want to start with at least 10,000 dollars account, however you can start with 5,000 or even 2,000 account will work. If you do not have such sum, I would recommend opening a savings account and transferring some amount of money until you save your initial capital. Do not open your investing account and save on it, since this account will earn no or very small interest and investing is not only about [tag]buying and selling stocks[/tag], saving money is part of the entire game.
If you do not have your emergency account yet, create it first. If you cannot save on both accounts (a part of your savings to your future investing account, part to your emergency account) save your emergency first. The purpose of this account is not only backing you up in case you would need some money to pay some emergency expenses, but it will potentially protect your investments. In a case you may need to pay something important, you do not want to withdraw money from investing account by selling stocks in bad times or when they show some loss (i.e. after purchasing an initial position). You can open one or two independent savings accounts for this emergency purpose. I would not recommend opening more than two accounts, since it is hard to maintain them. I use two accounts. One for short term emergencies and second is a long term account. On the short term account I hold about 2,000 dollars to cover emergency expenses which I am not able to pay off of my regular salary. The long term will cover my life expenses in case of loss of my job and I will draw money off of this account only in this case.
Emergency account is crucial and not many Americans have it. If you want to take your [tag]financial responsibility[/tag] seriously, start creating it as soon as you can. In good times save for bad times. Look at today’s financial mess. Too many people forgot to create their safety net. Too many people believed that the [tag]housing market[/tag] will always go up. Too many people took their equities and bought their new TVs, cars, or vacations. When bad times arrived the same “too many people” realized that they have no back up. They lost their TVs, cars, and even homes. When you lose even your job, you end up in trouble. Of course, your life should not be one big saving and die with a large account, but poor because you didn’t enjoy your life as well. Find some middle way how to be regularly saving while living and enjoying your life. Later you will create your [tag]money making machine[/tag] and you can start enjoying only. However, at the beginning, more effort will pay later sweet results.
The most important part on the entire process of investing is your own learning. If you believe that investing into stocks is easy money and [tag]get-rich-quick[/tag], you are not ready yet. To be honest with you I started investing while I believed in it and this is why I lost my money. Do not do the same mistake as I did.
There is a lot of information out there. You can find a lot of books as well as a lot of web sites about investing. Read some of them, but be careful when selecting what to read. You should look for the strategy which fits you best and stick to it and avoid any other information otherwise you end up confused in mess. You can start reading on internet first to find some strategies and then continue looking for more information about each particular [tag]strategy[/tag] so you can grab as much information as possible to make the decision. You can also open a hypothetical account and try those strategies on paper first to determine which strategy fits best to you. You can also start reading books from my Library if you think that RSS approach fits you. You can buy those books or you can borrow them in your local library. If you are enthusiastic into investing as I am, you would buy those books to have them handy in the time you want to re-read them and refresh your memory about some tips and advice you have read and almost forgot.
You need to decide what would be your strategy. Do you want [tag]value investing[/tag], [tag]growth investing[/tag], do you prefer long term (buy stock and hold positions weeks and months) or short term (trading within days) or day trading (buy and sell the same day)? Do some research on internet about strategies, read about them and start implementing one of them which you chose and which will work for you (at least on paper).
Start studying market. You can subscribe to some newsletters if you want, or you can use free web sites such as MSN.com, Yahoo.com etc. I use Investors Business Daily as well to read about markets. Reading about markets can give you some idea what the market is doing so you do not invest against the market (another way how to loose money). It can be frustrating reading either, like these days with financial crisis. But you would know when it is time to start buying or when it is good to stay aside.
I like [tag]RSS strategy[/tag] because I do not have time to trade daily. My approach is long term (but not buy and hold) so I like buying stocks and holding them as long as they are making me money, which can be couple days, as well as months and years. I will write about RSS strategy more later below.
You may have heard or read advice such as “analyze your trades, why you did this or that so you can learn from your mistakes…” Great advice! I tried so many times. I tried to find on internet or in books how to do it so many times. Unsuccessfully. Then I came up with this blog. By writing all my ideas and thoughts here, it is not only me who is benefiting from it. You all can read about it and learn, get your own ideas and improve your own investing. You can use a hand written journal book, computer, blog whatever will help you to summarize your thoughts, ideas and records. Start doing it during your paper trading. Write down everything. Record your thoughts on [tag]market, stocks, economy, stock picking[/tag], etc. Record why you are selecting a particular stock, why you are going to buy it when and why you are going to sell it etc. All the recorded information would help you not only to analyze your trades but adjust your strategy and investing plans. Sometimes you may feel like a dummy, you will have no idea what to write about (i.e. the stock appeared on my screen list, which looks stupid and says nothing about why you are buying it), but keep trying. One day you find your proper language how to communicate with yourself. Sometimes you find out that you are trying to lie yourself, apologize and back up your bad trades. It happened to me as well that I have bought a stock and later I was trying to find a reason for it. You should find your reason first and then buy. You do not have to create a detailed report on each stock the same way as Jim Jubak (I like that guy and his approach) in his Jubak’s picks, but you should get close to it. Write down what is the name of the company, what business they do, how are they doing, read some news, so you get familiar about the company. There are some strategies (and for example [tag]Nicholas Darvas[/tag] was partially using that strategy), which do not care about the company at all. They are pure technical and the only important thing is what the stock is doing in the current market. They look for a break out on high volume and this is literally all they need for trading. I want at least know what the company does for business so I can see and look for its peers and possible outlook in the market. However do not dig too deep. All those numbers you may find will be totally useless. Later you can realize that your company is making huge profits and still its stock is falling like a rock. Do not even look for reasons why your stocks are doing on the market what they are doing. There either is no reason or after you find it, it will be too late to do something about it.
Did you ever tried to find out how to do it? Were you searching books and internet? Have you found something? I haven’t, until I found a book about Reverse Scale System by Braden Glett. This was the first book which gave me a clue what to do and how to create my investing plans and how to deal with money management. “Before the book” I tried so many times and nothing worked well for me. “After the book” I became confident, I have a plan and I know what to do in each moment during opening, holding and closing every single position. Even if you try and go for another strategy, completely different from what I do here, this book is worth reading to know about loss control plan and money management. I am not going to write about it here, just purchase the book and read it. Then open your spreadsheet and create your own plan with all formulas and ideas and use it every time you open your investing account to place the order. Write down all strategies, stop loss plan, pyramiding plan, exiting plan and never trade unless you do your homework and calculations. This plan will help you limiting your losses, protecting your gains and money, pick new trades, drop old trades, protect you against over-investing your account, and many others. After your plan is done, all strategies identified, learn them! Learn patience and discipline. You need to be able to stick to your plans no matter what. Do not double question your plan. Be confident in it, trust it and trust yourself. During studying part and creating plans you had a lot of time to train it on a hypothetical account, so now there is no place for doubts and questioning. You can do adjusting, slightly modifying your numbers and calculations, but the general strategy should remain intact. It is hard part to learn.
Do you have your savings ready? Now it is time to select your broker and open your investing account. Do some research on internet. Ask brokers to provide you with either trial access or with a list of services you can get. Ask for fees and commissions and test their technical and consumer or client support to see how responsive and professional they are. Also look what additional value you can get from them. Some brokers will have a very low or no commissions, but no additional services will be available. Others may charge you some commissions which you may consider high, but you get a lot of free analytical tools on their web site so you do not have to buy them. You would need a program which can do charting for you in which you can draw your own marks, lines, studies, create your own alerts, define your own trading algorithms and not all of those programs you can get for free on internet. Find some brokers, compare their services, support and requirements. You also would need to decide what type of broker you want, if a full-service broker or a discount broker. A full-service broker will be available for you and advising you whenever you would need it. These brokers are however very expensive and their requirements for minimum amount to open an account are high, mostly 100,000 of dollars and higher. A discount broker is mostly an online one and it is easy to open an account with him. Some have no minimum investment requirements, some have $2,000 minimum. Also look for whether your selected broker is insured and registered with SIPC. If you like what you could find about your selected broker, open a new account with him. It is easy and quick. You would be able to open a fully working account within ten minutes and start trading as soon as your money, transferred from your savings account will be deposited to your new investing account.
Here you may find a list of some brokers to start searching. It is not a full list, but good to start with.
Done? Welcome in the exciting world of a pure capitalism – Wall Street.

There's just something comforting about sitting around the fireplace at home. That's what this cocktail reminds us of. It's not smoky, and it's served chilled, but the red wine and walnut bitters give it a warm, soothing feel.
1Prep the Rich Syrup enough in advance that it can cool.
2Chill a coupe glass by filling it with ice and cold water.
3Add all liquid ingredients to a mixing glass.
4Add ice to the mixing glass. Stir.
5Empty the chilled coupe glass.
6Strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe glass.
7Twist orange peel over the drink to express its oils, then place the peel in the glass as garnish. | 2019-04-19T04:21:20 | https://liftedspiritskc.com/recipe/hearth-and-home/ |
So, I’m a dad – I guess that’s pretty obvious from the title of this blog. I have two daughters – one is currently three-and-a-half and I see her at weekends, while the other is ten months and I see her every day, as we all live together.
1) To enable and encourage me to write regularly and not about things that I write every day at work. Although it might sound fun to tell people what you think of Sienna Miller’s latest red carpet outfit, believe me, it gets boring!
2) Being a dad is not talked about that much. Everyone, probably naturally, concentrates on the mum’s role in bringing up baby, as it were. Poor old dad is usually left to bring home enough money to buy weekly groceries and fund the endless supply of nappies, clothes and toys, to name but a few things. I want to try and redress that balance in somme small way, but posting my musings about being a good, hopefully, dad.
I probably should have started this a year or so ago, as I’ll have nothing to say about the early months, but hey, both of my girls have a lot of years to go and a lot trials and tribulations to go through. I’m sure there’ll still be plenty to comment about.
That’s it for the moment – I’ll be back with something new soon!

Start out by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Then you can get going by trimming your green beans. I used fresh green beans from my grandmother’s farm, but any store bought kind will work. I have not tried this with frozen green beans, but as long as you thaw them first it should work fine. You can even buy pre-cut green beans to save yourself this step!
Once the green beans are trimmed you can wash, peel, and dice your potatoes. I used the same cutting board from the green beans. Cut them in to evenly sized, one inch cubes so that they can cook evenly.
Still using the same cutting board (can you tell I like minimal dishes??), trim and cut your chicken into one inch cubes.
Grab two glass baking dishes (I used 9×13 dishes) and put your potatoes in one, and then your chicken and green beans in the other. There will be some overlap, but try to keep it to a minimum to ensure everything cooks evenly. Pour the Italian dressing over both dishes.
Cover the dishes with tin foil and bake for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are soft and the chicken is cook through. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days. I’ve also made this dish and added fresh parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes and it was amazing!
Set out two, 9x13 glass baking dishes. Put the potatoes in one, and then the chicken and green beans in the other. Sprinkle everything with salt and pepper. Then pour the Italian dressing on top. | 2019-04-25T10:01:08 | https://everydaywellnesswithmorgan.com/italian-chicken/ |

I used to be a big fan of Oxford band Ride and I would like to get the soon to be released 3CD boxed set “OX4: The Best of Ride”, which contains the best tracks from Ride’s brief but bright reign.
Ride are Probably best remembered as the progenitors of shoegazing, which dominated the early 90s indie scene, and specialised in skyscraping walls of Sound and noisy uplifting rock. They broke out of the boundaries of British rock music, by drawing on the extremities of bands such as the Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain, and the resulting songs all had an explosive rush that fizzed with enthusiasm.
The three discs comprise of: OX4, the greatest hits disc, Firing Blanks, which is a disc of unreleased material and The live disc, which was recorded at the 1992 Reading Festival and serves as a good document of Ride as a live band.
The album features tracks From their first two EPs, Ride and Play such as the starry-eyed clatter of “Chelsea Girl“, and the harmonic jangle of “Like a Daydream”, to tracks from the Debut Album “Nowhere” like ‘Taste’, ‘Seagull’ ‘Dreams Burn Down’ & ‘Vapour Trail. By way of ‘Unfamilliar ‘From Time to Time’ ‘Twisterella’, ‘Leave Them All Behind’.
The album also contains awesome tracks like ‘Drive Blind ”Eight Miles High’, ‘European Son’,’The Model’, ‘Sight Of You’, and ‘That Man’ and charts their growth from Shoegazers into champions of retrodelica, with Carnival of Light-era tracks such as “I Don’t Know Where It Comes From”. By summoning classic tunes out of the ether, Ride sounded like true pioneers.
First created in 1998 by musicians Damon Albarn & Jamie Hewlett while they were living in Westbourne Grove, Gorillaz is an English musical project which consists of the music itself and an extensive fictional universe depicting a “virtual band” of cartoon characters. This band has four animated members: 2D (lead vocalist, keyboard, and melodica), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar and drum machine), Noodle (guitar, keyboard, and occasional vocals) and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). The idea to create the band came about when the two were watching MTV, “if you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that,” Hewlett said.
Their fictional universe is explored through the band’s website and music videos, as well as a number of other media, such as short cartoons. The music is a collaboration between various musicians, Albarn being the only permanent musical contributor. Their style is a composition of multiple musical genres, with a large number of influences including: alternative rock, dub, hip hop, electronic, and pop music.
The band’s 2001 debut album Gorillaz sold over seven million copies and earned them an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records as the Most Successful Virtual Band.It was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2001, but the nomination was later withdrawn at the band’s request. Their second studio album, Demon Days, released in 2005, went five times platinum in the UK, double platinum in the United States, earned five Grammy Award nominations for 2006 and won one of them in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category.
Gorillaz have also released two B-sides compilations and a remix album. The combined sales of the Gorillaz and Demon Days albums had exceeded 15 million by 2007. The band’s third studio album, Plastic Beach, was released in March 2010. Their latest album, The Fall, was released in December 2010 as a free download for sub-division members, then in April 2011 as a physical release.
It Follows on from the release of TOTAL: From Joy Division To New Order which was released in early 2011 and the surprise success of Lost Siren track “Hellbent”, and features Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Philip Cunningham.
It Features a truly eclectic mix of electronica and guitars in the way only New Order know how, and contains eight tracks which were recorded during the sessions for Waiting For The Sirens Call and are all previously unreleased. “Hellbent” features on The Lost Sirens in it’s original non-radio edit form (as per TOTAL) and “I Told You So” is a previously unreleased mix. Here is the track listing for the album. | 2019-04-22T20:34:06 | https://rich1698.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/ |
State attorneys issued a wholesale rebuttal July 18 in responding to a lawsuit brought by three companies that work on the North Slope against the state Revenue Department over how detailed portions of the state’s oil tax laws are applied.
ExxonMobil, Hilcorp Energy and SAE Exploration, a seismic imaging company, sued the Department of Revenue in state Superior Court June 8 alleging Tax Division officials are using an unenforceable guidance document to improperly collect upwards of $160 million in oil production taxes.
The state’s 14-page response, signed by Assistant Attorney General Katherine Demarest, admits the advisory bulletin in question issued by Tax Director Ken Alper in March 2017 interprets oil tax law and acknowledges the companies sued in the proper venue, but in line-by-line fashion flatly denies the rest of the complaint.
ExxonMobil and Hilcorp contend the state informally adopted the six-page advisory bulletin as a regulation packet and subsequently applied to collectively increase their fiscal year 2018 oil production taxes by about $110 million and to collect another roughly $50 million plus interest in retroactive taxes since 2014.
The state’s filing rejects the allegation that tax regulations “incorporate” the advisory bulletin, but rather asserts that it “interprets statutes” as allowed by state law.
State attorneys also contend that one or more of the plaintiffs may lack standing in the lawsuit and that the state’s sovereign immunity may by applicable to this case.
They request the case be dismissed and the state be compensated for the costs of its defense.
SAE, which holds refundable tax credits earned through its seismic shoots, planned to sell those credits to producers, which in turn could use them against their tax liability. Limiting the amount of credits the producers can apply to their production taxes has in turn hampered SAE’s ability to sell its credits and reduced their market value, according to the original complaint.
The advisory bulletin explains that use of the sliding scale credit prevents a company from using tax credits to take their production tax liability below the 4 percent gross minimum tax floor. The sliding scale credit, which starts at $8 per barrel when oil prices are less than $80 per barrel and steps down to nothing at extremely high prices, is used as a way to install progressivity into the production tax for oil produced from the state’s large, legacy fields such as Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk River.
However, if a producer were to forgo the per-barrel credit or use a fixed $5 per barrel credit for “new” oil production, the new oil credit and others could reduce a production tax liability to less than the 4 percent floor, according to the bulletin.
The companies insist that Revenue’s own regulations allow taxpayers to choose the order in which credits are applied.
The state’s filing does concur with that assertion, but additionally “denies that such an option relieves taxpayers of the duty to accurately report and pay tax,” the filing reads.
The companies argue further that a 2011 advisory bulletin, issued under former Gov. Sean Parnell’s administration, stated that North Slope producers could reduce their liability below the minimum tax by using new oil or other credits.
The Legislature and Parnell administration overhauled the oil and gas production tax system in 2013 with Senate Bill 21, which survived a voter referendum to repeal it in 2014.
The current oil production tax law has since been modified twice at the behest of Gov. Bill Walker in 2016 and House Democrats last year. | 2019-04-24T06:08:19 | http://alaskajournal.com/2018-07-23/state-defends-claim-160m-back-taxes |

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is being criticised for downgraded an international development and the Pacific role in his ministry.
Scott Morrison has been accused of sending the wrong message to Australia's Pacific neighbours by downgrading a job that focused on the region and international development.
The responsibility has been relegated to an assistant minister's role, with Anne Ruston taking over the portfolio from former Minister for International Development and the Pacific Concetta Fierravanti-Wells.
Ms Fierravanti-Wells resigned from the front bench last week after criticising Malcolm Turnbull and voting against him in her party's leadership spill.
But she isn't happy to see the position downgraded, saying it sends the "wrong signal".
"I am disappointed that this has happened at a time where we have growing interest and growing contestability in the Pacific region," she told ABC Radio on Thursday.
"Downgrading this position does send the wrong signal at a time when we are spending record amounts of overseas development assistance in the pacific - $1.3 billion."
Labor foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong also criticised the change, together with Mr Morrison's choice not to attend the Pacific Islands Forum in Nauru this week.
"Those are not the actions of a leader nor a government that recognises the importance of the Pacific to Australia," she told ABC Radio. | 2019-04-22T00:28:49 | http://www.thebull.com.au/articles/a/76673-morrison-slammed-for-pacific-job-change.html |
America Online last month junked dozens of replies from Harvard University to its early applicants.
Scared off by the anthrax postal threat, the esteemed university was looking for an efficient way to inform Harvard hopefuls on whether they were accepted, denied or deferred.
Enter AOL, the leading Internet service provider, which blocked nearly 100 of the do-or-die letters, putting them in the dreaded “spam” file.
“This wasn’t exactly the instant response we intended,” said William Fitzsimmons, dean of admissions and financial aid at Harvard.
Harvard used e-mail to notify nearly all of the 6,000 students who applied under the early-admissions guidelines.
Officials at AOL could not explain why, but said the company identified the Harvard messages as junk mail, the bane of Internet existence.
Certain characteristics, such as address, size and quantity, trigger automatic gatekeepers that block certain e-mail from reaching its intended target, said Nicholas Graham, an AOL spokesman. | 2019-04-20T01:38:10 | https://nypost.com/2002/01/02/aol-puts-harvard-in-sham-spam-jam/ |

Maven Repositories, Without the Headache.
Is Your Team Hosting Their Own Maven Repositories?
How much time, money, and productivity are you losing?
Both small teams and large organizations developing with Java or Java Virtual Machine (JVM) related technologies use maven to manage their dependencies and private artifacts.
They implement repository managment by running local repositories on internal servers, maintained by one or more members of the engineering team.
Whether you're using an open source or commercially licensed repository manager, you need to be aware of the hidden costs of running and maintaining your own servers.
When you host your own maven repositories, it costs your team valuable time that could be better spent working on projects that are critical to your business goals and objectives.
With CloudRepo, all of these time sinks are eliminated from your team's shoulders and become our responsibility.
Servers, hard disks, and network hardware are all things you need to purchase when you're hosting your own maven repositories.
Licensing fees vary with the particular maven server you're licensing, but these fees are in addition to your hardware costs.
CloudRepo's subscription model provides a simple, monthly subscription fee based on the amount of storage you use. No more hidden costs to worry about.
As a manager of an engineering team, you know that productivity is one of the most difficult metrics to measure. However, productivity is also one of the most important metrics to achieve for business success.
Hosting your own internal maven repositories can impact your team's productivity when the repository server becomes overloaded or unavailable.
When this happens your team's development process can come to a screeching halt while your developers wait for the server to come back online.
CloudRepo was built from the ground up to be highly available and scalable so that an outage of one server, or a spike in load, does not impact your team's productivity.
Unburden your team and save money and time when you move to CloudRepo.
Signup takes less than 20 seconds.
Setup your account in less than a minute and never worry about running your own local repository servers again.
We manage your remote repositories, so your team doesn't have to.
Public access to maven artifacts stored in CloudRepo remote repositories allows your users to read and write to CloudRepo by simply configuring your maven project file to point at the CloudRepo repository url.
Any apache maven compatible tool or HTTPS client can read from our remote repositories. Writes to CloudRepo remote repositories always require write permissions granted via access control.
Leverage CloudRepo's remote repositories as a highly available distribution platform for your apache maven binaries, libraries, or other artifacts.
The Maven Central Repository is the world's largest remote repository and stores the majority of the world's open source, public artifacts. By default, all maven project files use the Maven Central Repository to retrieve artifacts.
While this central public repository server works well for some teams, it may not be the right fit for your team, especially if you wish to publish private artifacts as well.
Whether you're frustrated with the upload process of Maven Central or you just want to have more control over your maven artifacts, CloudRepo provides a simple, easy to use, alternative to the Maven Central Repository.
Private repositories restrict access of your private artifacts to authorized individuals.
Just like public repositories, private repositories allow read and write access to your private artifacts via any apache maven compatible tool or HTTPS client.

You are here: Home / 102 Years Ago Today – Suffragists Under Attack!
On January 10, 1917 suffrage leaders from the Congressional Union, discouraged by President Wilson’s refusal to support the suffrage amendment, decided on a daring, attention-grabbing demonstration – picketing the White House. Silent Sentinels appeared at the White House gates, holding banners with such messages as “Mr. President, How Long Must Women Wait for Liberty?” and “Mr. President, What Will You Do for Woman Suffrage?,” braving cold, rain and snow in a desperate attempt to garner support for their cause.
And in another ironic twist, somewhere along the way Gardiner seems to have changed her mind about suffrage. Her 1924 obituary lists her as secretary of the National League of Women Voters.
It’s so important to rediscover our progenitors. And, in an example like that of Ruth Kimball Gardiner, to be reminded that Woman Suffrage was a multi-faceted, multi-grey-area’d issue–not simply either all Pro or all Anti. | 2019-04-18T10:35:15 | http://longislandwomansuffrage.com/?p=4380 |

I was told that buying buying 5 rolls of "Rolled Shingles" is the best thing to put under my AGP to keep grass and weeds from breaking through. Has anyone heard of this??
I called a local supply store and asked if they had any " Rolled Shingles" The guy said they did and said that they sell them ALL the time for pool installs. He said this before I even told him what I wanted it for. So I'm guessing its used far more then I thought.
I dont install pools so i woulnt know. At least he gave you the answer you were looking for. Looks like rolled shingles it is!
I just have a hard time going with a supply store and one install guy telling me its the way to go. I really wish someone else would give me their imput on this and let me know if its the right thing to do.
When I redid my ABG 24' round pool 8 yrs ago, I put 1" styrofoam down first, cut it to fit, qrey taped the seams. I thought it would be a cheaper alternative to "Happy Feet" or something the pool store was selling. I was great for about 5yrs. The bottom was smooth and flat and felt spongy under foot. But for the last 2 or 3 yrs, it has all got compressed and is not soft any more and you can see where the seams are. I have 3 places where moles have left tunnels under the bottom so I expect that I might be putting in a new liner next season. I haven't decided what to put down the next time.
Went by the supply store today and talked to them about using the rolled shingles for a weed/grass blocker under the pool. They told me that told me that it works awsome because its thick, doesn't shift like plastic can. The guy told me he had it put under his pool 6yrs ago and hasn't had any issues with it at all. The gritty part faces down and the felt part faces the liner. The stuff looks pretty thick. I say for $5 a roll and $50 to the installer for doing it its a darn good deal for added protection.

A key function of Public Relations is conducting community and village consultations. Consultations with all Fijians is critical to ensuring that everyone is aware and understands the intent of government as outlined in the People’s Charter for Change, Peace and Progress (PCCPP).
Consultations are facilitated by the PR Divisional Coordinators; Eastern (including the maritime zones), Northern and Western. The PR Divisional Coordinators collaborate with the Divisional Commissioners and Provincial Officers on the consultation schedules and logistics.
The consultations provide the PR Division with the opportunity to relay government initiatives from the PCCPP and also to allow people with the opportunity to provide feedback.
“The PR Officers competencies in delivering substantive and relevant presentations and sound communication skills have enabled them to be effective agents of advocacy work”.
It is important to disseminate Government’s intent during public forums and meetings, such as the one attended in the Lau Group.
The public relations consultations being carried out in the greater Suva – Nasinu corridor is part of the integrated concept of Government agencies reaching out to the people.
“The Government has brought a significant number of changes for the betterment of the Fijian people”. | 2019-04-24T22:57:43 | http://www.ico.gov.fj/central/ |
I challenge Bob Sullivan’s perspective, which accuses the developers behind Ashton Meeting Place shopping center (not a mall) of ignoring the community’s concerns (‘‘Are AMP developers really listening to the community?” June 14 letter).
There have been few individuals (out of the proclaimed 800) against the shopping center that have attended any or all meetings (four) the developers held. It appears false information continues to circulate at the opposition’s hand. How can anyone make informed assessments when they choose not to attend the developers’ meetings? Where have the citizens of the self-created Sandy Spring-Ashton Rural Preserve Consortium been?
The developers have been up-front and honest, and provided the experts to answer questions regarding the development of AMP. They have also listened to the concerns of the community and have incorporated many of those changes at a huge cost (their own) to the project. How many developers do you know that actually inform and ask for input from the community? The developers should be applauded for creating an esthetically beautiful center, which captures a yesteryear feel. The center respects the environment and will serve the community’s needs well.
Mr. Sullivan crossed the line, however, when he accused an investor of blanketing the community with a letter ‘‘informing his neighbors that the plans are revised to reflect their concerns and all is well.” He implied that he spoke untruths about the project and misrepresented the community. This is totally false and disrespectful. The majority of the people living in the Ashton⁄Sandy Spring area do feel that AMP will benefit the community.
That investor and his brother grew up on the corner in Ashton and worked a family business gasoline station. They are part of the history in Ashton⁄Sandy Spring. They have given countless hours in multiple community efforts and businesses including the Sandy Spring Lions Club, the Sandy Spring Museum, Sandy Spring Friends House, Sandy Spring Bank, Montgomery General Hospital, Wintergrowth, Brooke Grove Foundation, the Sandy Spring Fire Department, the Olney Theatre and many local churches.
That investor has devoted his almost 80 years of life to the betterment of this community through physical, intellectual and financial support. He would not intentionally mislead the people in any circumstance. Anyone who has truly known him, has only known him to be kind, compassionate, generous and honest.
By the way, ‘‘the most cherished community institution, the Sandy Spring Museum,” as Mr. Sullivan quoted, would not be on the property it is currently sitting without that investor. He is the one who procured the property for the museum and went on (along with several others) to establish and assist in providing funds for operating the organization. He was also on the board for many years, contributed financially, and procured funds for operations. In fact, he is still donating and raising money for the museum currently. Through good deeds, hard work, and vision, he has ensured the museum’s ongoing success. This community owes him a debt of gratitude for significantly contributing to the preservation of its heritage.
Perhaps Mr. Sullivan should list for the community all of the citizens who are against AMP (including himself) that have subdivided and sold off their properties (or portions of their properties) to ‘‘unruralize” the area. Those individuals have served their own personal needs well. As owners of their property, they were able to decide what they wanted to do with the land without opposition. They have created havoc on our roads both in the development of those houses and by contributing to the excessive traffic that clogs routes 108 and New Hampshire Avenue daily.
I welcome the opportunity to travel only one mile in that traffic, rather than three or four.
The developers have presented an exceptional design on the only remaining commercial property in Ashton. Let’s welcome all of the new citizens of Ashton and Sandy Spring, enjoy the beauty of the center, and serve the needs of the citizens living in the surrounding area. | 2019-04-22T03:03:35 | http://www.ashtonmeeting.com/displaynews.asp?itemID=36 |

G stands for the total expenditure incurred by the government. It has to meet the expenses required to acquire all kinds of goods and services. For services to be made available for the country, the major and perhaps the only massive expense is the salary to pay to those who provide service to the country. Also, it is pointed out by the analysts that a major share of the nation�s revenue is assigned to procure military weapons. Necessarily next comes the ever mounting salary for the service providers. Government spending as such is very crucial in its impact on the economy of the nation. A study from this point of view will take us away from the immediate concern of the present context.
The government spending which we can say as the public sector spending cannot be dispensed with. There are certain areas of service which private sector cannot afford to give to the public. Say, building roads without which no meaningful commutation is possible, again, laying railway tracks, giving basic education to all and providing medical service--- for all these, the government has to spend and there is no other way.
It is needless to emphasize that the government has to employ for all its departments and their attendant functions, thousands of employees for whom he has to pay salary. All the expenses the government has to meet in time come under Government spending.
There is one more fact of spending by the government. Generally, a nation also can borrow from other nations or from some international bodies that lend money on a very meager rate of interest for a long period of say 30 years. For the loan, the nation has to pay interest and also clear the loan. A country borrows money from other developed countries for developing the national infrastructure of massive nature.
This fourth component of GDP refers to the net exports of the country. It means how much revenue the country has generated by its exports. Export means our product is purchased by foreigners and therefore their purchase of our goods adds to our income. But we must know that we also buy products from other countries; we import the products from other countries thus we spend our money on foreign products. Naturally, the money we generate must be calculated by abstracting the money we spend on foreign goods from the money we receive from foreign countries. We can simply say: domestic spending on foreign goods is Import; foreigners� spending on domestic goods is Export and the Net Export is Exports (X) minus Imports (I). The difference between X and I is called Net Exports.
We have seen so far what is meant by GDP and in our next session, we will try to understand the difference between Gross Domestic Product and Gross National Product which are not the same. | 2019-04-18T17:16:47 | http://porttoport.in/studentscornerold.php?id=30 |

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am for longer days!
I’ve been rearranging my closet this week.
Moving the darker colors to the back.
And the brighter colors to the front.
Breaking out the cargo pants.
Hoping to wear the lightweight spring scarves one more time before the humidity sets in.
And looking forward to when it’s warm enough to wear ruffled tanks again.
Just stumbled into your blog today and I LOVE it. It seems you have many of the same addictions,er, I mean interests that do – cooking, scrapping, etc. Great site!
What a cute blog!! Love your hubby’s Auburn shirt! War Eagle!
Those photos were soooo fun! so crisp, so up-close, so colorful, so pretty! loved them!
You have inspired me. I going in tomorrow……into that black-hole I call a closet. Thanks Amanda for showing me how nice clothes can look when they’re hung up and ironed.
you have a very shique style. i adore it- i want your closet!!
You are as cute as a button. That is all I have to say.
Love the photographs!! Just what I needed to get started on my own Spring Cleaning. It’s still just a little cool here in North Carolina, but last week we had an 83 degree day!! You can just never tell. Love the posts and being able to live vicariously through you sometimes. Happy Spring!
You have fabulous taste. I love your clothes. The Loft is my favorite store and I have a few of your same pieces. Thanks for sharing, you are an amazing photographer. I am also happy spring has arrived here in northern AL.
I’m sitting here enjoying one of your favorite snack- yogurt, granola, and fresh strawberries! THANKS for the reminder- its one of my favorites too! I live out west, very close to the mountains- and its snowing, but oh when the sun shines on the fresh powder, its breath taking.
Those are very pretty girly clothes but I think I’ll stick with my jeans and t- shirt wardrobe till it’s hot enough for my landscaping attire(shorts and t-shirts.)That’s about as good as it gets around here except for church.
I live in the Boston suburbs and I wear ruffled tanks all.year.long. With a cardi of course!
All of your clothes are so pretty! I wish my closet looked like that!
I can not wait for Spring!
Great photos! It’s nice to live vicariously through those who actually have nice weather this time of year. We’ve got -11C with the wind chill this morning. Brrr!
Love the photo’s! Here in South Florida spring is pretty much year round but I have to say a little closet cleaning is in need in my house too. Happy Spring to you!
I love Spring too!! Gives me an excuse to go shopping for new brighter, funner, lighter clothes!
My boyfriend always thinks I’m crazy when I say “spring/summer” scarves. He wonders why anyone in their right mind would want to wear them in the summer, especially here in Alabama. You are so right, once the humidity kicks they go back into hiding. I often wish I was still on the East Coast where some days when the weather isn’t 100 degrees you could still swing it if you were by the sea.
I am so looking forward to spring. Like you, I can’t wait to shed all the darks for light colors and springy looks. It has been a long winter for all of us!
So cute! I have been doing the same thing this week! I really need to retire some spring clothes before adding new!
I’m so with you Amanda, can’t wait ’till spring!
It’s snowing here today and I’m ready for sunshine!
I am a scarf addict – I can’t wait to break out my Spring scarves!
85 in gainesville today…yeehaw! love the photos.
Oh my the dreaded thoughts of spring cleaning. Organizing the closet, right now I just throw junk in and close it fast for fear of it all coming out to get me. But the thought of warm weather coming and your pictures has given me hope that I am not alone and its time to bring a little color into my wardrobe. Yea spring is back. Have a good weekend Amanda.
Your photography skills always amaze me. Your photos are ALWAYS stunning! Thanks for sharing.
I am about to do the same thing today, here in the UK.We had our hottest day of the year yesterday.
First of all, congratulations for the photos!
Second, sorry for my English, I know that is not perfect (I’m italian) ..
Third, and most important: please tell me with that camera lens you have taken these pictures, the bokeh is amazing!
I love all of your beautiful scarves! So pretty and girly! | 2019-04-26T03:23:36 | https://www.kevinandamanda.com/spring/ |
Trichotillomania – the disorder where a person has a compulsive urge to pull out his or her hair – can be devastating to a person’s life. It can make it hard for a person to be social. It can also make a person feel wracked with feelings of negative emotions. And of course, it could have an extremely negative impact on a person’s physical appearance.
While various forms of treatment are available for people that suffer from trichotillomania to help work through and manage the disorder, these gradual processes may not offer a short-term solution that is needed to remedy the loss of hair that was pulled out. Fortunately, people that suffer from this disorder can turn to trichotillomania wigs as a means to cope with its physical aspects.
By their very nature, trichotillomania wigs are a little different than the average wig. The wigs for hair pullers are typically designed with the notion that the skin on the top of the head of a person suffering from the disorder is extremely sensitive. This level of sensitivity is heightened due to the fact that the hairs on the head have been yanked out with a measure of force. As a result, the base of a good trichotillomania wig – that is, the part that fits onto the scalp – will be made of comfortable fabrics, such as lace or cotton.
Additionally, having a sense of realism is extremely crucial for good trichotillomania wigs. To achieve this realism, the wigs are typically made from human hair that has been donated through various charitable programs. Once the hair is received by the wig making company, it is treated and colored so it looks as natural as possible.
It helps to curb hair being pulled out – Because the hair extensions are not actual hair that is rooted into a scalp, it cannot be pulled out of the scalp. As a result, the hair that is attached to the extensions is safe.
It helps natural hair to regain health – One of the negative effects of trichotillomania is how the natural hair of the person suffering from the disorder degrades and weakens over time as a result of being pulled out. However, since the hair extensions provide a barrier of sorts for the natural hair that it attaches to, the hair is allowed to grow and gradually regain its strength.
Using a trichotillomania wig can be a powerful ally for a person that is suffering from the disorder because it does more than mask compulsive hair pulling. It gives these people a huge boost in their self-confidence. This may sound obvious, but this feeling goes a little deeper. One of the big side effects of trichotillomania is feelings of guilt or depression over the act, and these feelings are noted to be one of the possible causes of the disorder, thus creating a vicious cycle. However, a trichotillomania wig or trichotillomania hair extensions help to break this cycle, which in turn returns a state of self-assuredness that may otherwise be lost.
While obtaining a trichotillomania wig can be an important step in helping a person that suffers from the disorder, it is not the final step. Indeed, this type of wig will only improve the cosmetic aspects of the disorder. If a person wishes to go further to address trichotillomania and its problems, he or she should still look into a form of treatment. | 2019-04-21T18:35:36 | https://www.trichstop.com/treatment/coping/trich-wigs |
Vector’s ongoing and successful work with Adelphi University has helped them generate higher quality leads that convert into students, improve their brand recognition and search results, reduce their costs, and increase their online visibility. A distinct collaboration between our design, digital marketing, and development teams ensures that more of Adelphi’s prospects are turned into students. With profitable campaigns that are tied to the university’s business goals and aspirations, their ROI is much higher due to higher conversion rates.
Vector and Adelphi University have been working together for years— and our partnership has been undeniably successful. Due to our long-term client relationship, we continuously collaborate with Adelphi in an ongoing effort to give them the best possible results to match their strategic vision. Adelphi University is a large university with an even larger website, making the work both challenging and rewarding. Since Adelphi’s site includes information about everything from its extensive list of academic programs to its admissions process to its student life, the Vector Team had to focus on prioritizing. Our team strategically directed their energy to the pages where we were able to make the biggest impact.
After collaborating with Adelphi to understand their business, brand, and visual design landscape, we worked on both optimizing their organic search results and managing their paid search (PPC) campaigns. Adelphi had an outdated system that only tracked new leads according to ‘last touch’ attribution (i.e. if the user does a Google search after initial contact, the lead would be attributed to Google). We developed and implemented an attribution model that moved beyond this “last touch”, allowing us to track which channels and campaigns were successfully introducing people into the sales funnel. Next, we launched cross-channel, cross device remarketing campaigns to track users across multiple devices. We also integrated our cutting-edge proprietary technology that makes changes to campaign bids and budgets in real time, every 30 minutes, to automatically shift Adelphi's budget to the campaigns that are working best for them. This innovative approach enabled Adelphi to prioritize and reprioritize their campaigns more efficiently.
From the PPC perspective, working with Adelphi has yielded results that are a testament to the partnership’s success. Adelphi has seen a 320% increase in overall conversions, with a 68% drop in overall cost per acquisition (CPA). We were able to achieve this success by allocating funds to programs that have the highest probability of success instead of sticking to rigid allocations that are not as efficient. In-line with Vector’s overall integrated approach to projects, we use our findings from our work with SEO and PPC in order to help the two build off of each other.
When we began working with Adelphi, we ran a technical audit to analyze and correct any issues, such as missing site maps, HTML errors, and duplicate pages that could affect their organic rankings. Adelphi has since seen a 57% increase in page 1 organic rankings. We also focused heavily on creating keyword-enriched title tags and meta descriptions. By having thoroughly researched the site in order to see which pages generated the most traffic and had the highest conversions, we knew which pages to prioritize.
Through search keyword research, mapping, and theming of pages we were able to increase Adelphi’s visibility. By helping Adelphi create landing pages to familiarize new visitors with the university, we were able to nurture relationships with users to convert them into customers. Utilizing curated relevant content to pull people in, Adelphi was able to see a 98% increase in clicks and an 18% drop in cost per click (CPC), with only a 63% increase in spend. With refined pages serving more targeted markets, Adelphi has had an extremely high yield rate: 34% of applications that were influenced or generated by our efforts turned into an actual student.
The work we do with Adelphi is ongoing. We stay on top of their constantly changing and growing site. We regularly go through a re-optimization process where we repeat our original SEO process with adjustments based on rankings in an effort to continuously improve those rankings. Our relationship with Adelphi is highly collaborative—our work involves a great deal of exchanging information back and forth, but the process is smooth and effective. By layering in audience data (both 3rd party and Adelphi’s 1st party) to move potential students thru the funnel, we are able to refine our work based on their feedback. We continue to build on our organic success, while keeping Adelphi’s strict university guidelines in mind. With strong SEO and PPC strategies accelerating their growth, we always make sure our work is relevant, does not go off-brand, and adheres to their standards and expectations. | 2019-04-26T14:42:54 | https://www.vectormediagroup.com/our-work/view/adelphi-university |
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Amethi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday revealed she was eyeing the 2022 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh much more than the 2019 general elections just weeks ahead of the first phase of polling.
At a programme organised by party workers at the AH Inter College in Amethi, the parliamentary constituency of her brother and party President Rahul Gandhi, she took Congress workers by surprise when she asked them if they were preparing for the 2022 Assembly elections.
"Are you preparing for elections... I am not talking about 2019, but 2022," she asked a worker who was greeting her at the function organised by the Congress cadre in the Gandhi bastion of Amethi, where Priyanka was on her day-long visit during her three-day programme in the state.
When she was appointed party General Secretary in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi had said that he had sent his sister to the state with a larger plan.
"She hasn't been sent here for four months, she has been sent here with a larger plan... We will not only defeat BJP in 2019 but also win 2022 elections," Rahul Gandhi had told reporters here on January 23.
In several speeches following that in Amethi he had reiterated the point.
Her Thursday’s comments were yet another disclosure of the party's plan in the state.
In the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Congress had lost all the five assembly constituencies in Amethi. The BJP had won four while one seat was won by the Samajwadi Party.
With Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in an official role, the party is eyeing a major share of seats in the assembly elections in the state where it has been out of power since 1991.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Priyanka reached Amethi during the second leg of her campaign and held a marathon 11-hour meeting with party workers at the college campus. She first held the meeting for over five and half hours and then returned for another round of meeting which lasted for over four hours.
She held discussions with the party's booth workers till 12.30 am.
Later on Thursday, she is scheduled to meet the workers and leaders of her mother's constituency, Rae Bareli.
She will then go to Ayodhya on Friday, where the party workers have also planned an eight-km long road show. | 2019-04-24T16:41:08 | https://www.btvi.in/elections/priyanka-s-main-focus-is-2022-up-assembly-polls/130647 |

The Russian Duma has declared that Kyiv’s decision to make Ukrainian the language of instruction in Ukrainian schools is “’an act of ethnocide’ of the ethnic Russian people in Ukraine, thus denouncing in another what Moscow is itself doing in Russia and ignoring who is really responsible for the shift away from Russian ethnic identity in Ukraine.
In a Kasparov.ru commentary, Russian analyst Igor Yakovenko notes that “ethnocide is the policy of the intentional destruction of national identity and the self-consciousness of a people” that can be achieved either by genocide or by forced assimilation into another human community.
There is no genocide of ethnic Russians going on in Ukraine except in the fevered imaginations of some Russian commentators, Yakovenko says; but there is assimilation of ethnic Russians into the Ukrainian nation – but not as a result of Kyiv’s policies but rather because of the actions and statement of the Russian government.
In Soviet times, the share of ethnic Russians in the Ukrainian population rose from 9.23 percent in 1926 to 22.07 percent in 1989, the result of the mass murder of the Ukrainian peasantry by Stalin and the Moscow-organized in-migration of ethnic Russians and Moscow’s encouragement of Russian as opposed to Ukrainian identity.
The next Ukrainian census is scheduled for 2020 and it will show a precipitous decline in the share of ethnic Russians in the population, Yakovenko says. A recent survey found that only six percent of the citizens of Ukraine now say they are ethnic Russians. The figure in 2020 will likely be even lower.
Most ethnic Russians in Ukraine are characterized by “bi-ethnicity,” the Russian analyst says. That is, people who hold this identity view themselves as part of two peoples simultaneously – Russians and Ukrainians. But now if they have to choose, almost all of these people will choose to identify as Ukrainians.
More troubled because of the ethnic closeness of the Ukrainian and Russian peoples, and more intensively “above all” because of the war that Russia has unleashed against Ukraine. But it is not connected only with the war, Yakovenko says. It also reflects the hatred of Ukraine spewed out by Russian media outlets which still reach many people in Ukraine.
As a result, “to be an ethnic Russian in Ukraine is becoming a problem,” the analyst says.
It is not just a problem of how others view ethnic Russians in Ukraine, he argues; it is also a problem of self-consciousness, of how ethnic Russians in Ukraine see themselves. They do not see themselves as Moscow TV commentators insist they should, and they are choosing to be Ukrainians even though under different circumstances they might have chosen otherwise.
“If it weren’t for the war, the political talk shows, and a number of other broadcasts of Russian television,” ethnic Russians in Ukraine wouldn’t be confronted with a choice. But when they hear what those who are invading their country say, they make the only reasonable choice and become Ukrainians.
Thus, Yakovenko says, “an ethnocide of the Russian people in Ukraine is really occurring. Russia by its military actions and its television broadcasts is intentionally carrying it out.” That Moscow should blame Kyiv for what the Russian authorities are doing is only yet another confirmation of that reality. | 2019-04-22T16:42:48 | http://euromaidanpress.com/2017/09/30/moscow-not-kyiv-behind-ethnocide-of-ethnic-russians-in-ukraine-yakovenko-says-euromaidan-press/ |
It looks like Chinese checkers, but is played like chess. A fascinating game that I found mesmerising to watch. These elderly folks gathered almost daily to challenge each other or to observe considering what they would themselves move if they were playing.
Such an awesome community of gentlemen. | 2019-04-20T20:47:11 | https://backwaterbeat.blog/2019/01/23/chinese-chess/ |
Just when I was worried spring would never arrive, we are having a gorgeous, sunny day, almost warm enough for shorts. To celebrate, I am wearing Balmain's Vent Vert, the classic green floral fragrance created by Germaine Cellier and released in 1947. Like just about everything else, this was "reworked" to appeal to modern sensibilities; the reformulation was done by perfumer Calice Becker, and I believe the relaunch was in 1990. The notes for the new version are greens, orange blossom, lemon, lime, basil, rose, galbanum, lily of the valley, freesia, hyacinth, tagetes, ylang-ylang, violet, oakmoss, sandalwood, sage, iris, amber, and musk.
Vent Vert starts out a strong, bitter, slightly perfume-y green. After a few minutes the bitterness calms and the citrus notes and orange blossom take the stage, later still, the citrus notes are replaced by the other florals. Throughout, it retains a strong undertone of crushed stems, leaves, and grass, just slightly bitter and dry.
It is fresh and light, a summery meadow kind of thing, very beautiful, very calm. The far dry down is simply lovely, with just a hint of oakmoss, and just before it fades away I can make out the iris and sandalwood as well. Happily for me, I don't smell any amber. I have the Eau de Toilette, and the lasting power is reasonable but not spectacular.
The original version of Balmain Vent Vert is said to be far superior, and last year I finally bought a vintage bottle from ebay. Of course, it is hard to say how accurately it represents the "real" original, given that the bottle I purchased must be well over 10 years old, and it is likely that some of the ingredients had long since been replaced by cheaper alternatives by the time my particular bottle was produced.
At any rate, I suppose it is heresy, but I prefer the new version. The old is more uncompromisingly green and bitter, and there is a darker edge to the florals. It does, however, seem more in keeping with Germaine Cellier's other perfumes, such as Bandit and Fracas, which tend to have a disquieting effect.
Update: I recently had the chance to try the original version again, this time from another bottle. It was far superior to the bottle I had purchased on ebay, and I liked it much better. It is still so different from the reformulation that they might as well have been given different names.
You've awakened my lemming! I've really liked all the Balmains I have sampled so far.
Hi R! One of my mom's perfumes – nice enough but not for me. Your review is great (as usual!).
And sad to say, Vent Vert is the only Balmain I've tried so far! I wish the line was easier to find — do you know of any department stores that carry it?
you are particularly acute in your descriptions of green notes in fragrance … especially that frequent bitter tone. I love green notes in the drydown, but can't wait to get past that bitterness. I probably feel toward “bitter” the way some feel toward “powder”: a necessary evil. anyway, wonderful review — and I actually am encouraged that you favor the new!
I bought Ivoire from eBay and have seen it lots at TJ Maxx. Plus, I see all the others (that I'm familiar with) on eBay pretty regularly, and at many of the online discount shops (like parfum1, etc.) — all can be had for very little $$$.
Thanks G, I'll keep an eye out at TJ Maxx!
M, I wonder if I just like the new because it is what I tried first? Sort of like: I know Sean Connery is the best Bond, but I like Roger Moore because I saw all his movies first. Ok, weird analogy. Maybe I need a nap.
I was eager to try Vent Vert again – I remember it from a purchase I made in France about 35 years ago! The new version, however, is disappointing in that it doesn't seem (to me, anyway) very close to the original — seems a bit heavier, sweeter … though I am beginning to like it for its own qualities.
Can anyone recommend a truly light, green fragrance to try?
The new version is bound to disappoint if you're used to the old, I completely agree. I tried the new one first, so didn't have the comparison & liked it very much.
Are you looking for a green floral or just plain old green? If the latter, try Miller et Bertaux no. 3, or if you can get your hands on it, Gobin Daude Sous Le Buis. Other possibilities: Sisley Eau de Campagne, Diptyque Virgilio.
Many thanks for the suggestions! I've bought the M & B (found a great price on 3.4 oz) and samples of the others. They sound like just what I'm looking for.
Hope you will like it, it is one of my favorite greens! Very summery & lively.
I love it! By chance, a seller on eBay from whom I'd ordered a couple of other scents included a sample of the M&B with the order. It came yesterday & I'm enjoying it today.
Would you also recommend a couple of your favorite green florals? I received also a sample of the Dyptique, and while it's intriguing, it's a bit TOO purely green for me.
For floral, Annick Goutal Camille or L'Artisan Jacinthe des Bois might suit you.
My mother gave me a bottle of the real Vent Vert in 1964. It smelled the way a French perfume should,cut through the sickly, candy/powder/stifling scents worn by the girls at school and created a pleasant, green, biting* aura around me. The 'Vent Vert' on sale these days I do not recognize.
*When I say 'biting' I mean it as a compliment. Not every perfume smells 'romantic' or 'sweet' – even in a pleasant way. My mother often brought back perfumes from Paris and I recall their unusual compositions so different from what was being sold here. I am still see-sawing over Bandit.
Ah, that is just how I used to feel about Jean Couturier Coriandre. I can't say I don't recognize it now because I try not to smell it when I see it…which is rare, and usually for 9.99 at TJ Maxx.
Although I have never tried Balmain's Vent Vert, I am intrigued, for I have been searching for a substitute for my beloved “Vetiver” by the House of Carven. Is anyone familiar with both? I would like to receive any comments of comparison.
Hmmm…I have not smelled the Carven, but rather doubt Vent Vert would be a good substitute for a mostly-vetiver scent. Are you just not happy with the newer formulation of the Carven? And what other vetivers have you tried?
oh dear i'm a little late to the party….i adore Vent Vert, have and love the parfum and the edt. its a sweet-ish green for sure, the parfum being rich as well. Ivoire is an HG- odd, woody, clean and my husband loves it too. it's just perfect. may i recommend Carven's Ma Griffe. once read it described as a “pointy” green fragrance and that is a perfect description. off the common scent path for sure but may be perfect for someone searching for a special green frag.
may i ask you about Ma Griffe, there seem to be 2 bottle styles “out there', an angular plain glass bottle with a green plastic lid, and the squat square glass bottle with the small lid. do you think there is a difference in the scent? wondering if mine might be vintage-ish.
I'm sorry but I had to delete the MUA quote you had posted below…that is copyrighted material and you'd quoted more than would be allowed by fair use laws.
I have seen at least 3 different Ma Griffe bottles, but I've no idea how they're dated, sorry!
well i guess i will just have to keep sniffing. thanks so much.
Just tried a parfum version packaged in the square bottle with label on the edge – called vintage on ebay, but I don’t know how vintage it is. Perhaps it’s the ’90 version. Gorrrrrgeous. I do love a green floral – I was expecting more of a blast of galbanum, but only got enough to make it fresh as cut grass: perfect, in other words.
Yeah, have a feeling your bottle is not terribly old: the vintage ones I’ve smelled are very galbanum-heavy, esp. in the opening.
I just got my sample of Vent Vert , and it seemed strangely familiar. I tried it next to Chanel No. 19 and that was it. VV is like a slightly airier version of 19 on me – does anyone else get this?
They have similar notes…wonder if they were more alike in their original forms? | 2019-04-21T12:26:17 | https://nstperfume.com/2005/04/07/balmain-vent-vert-fragrance-review/ |
Not unlike the feeling that new parents experience, families faced with the sudden need to care for a senior parent or relative usually feel scared and overwhelmed.
How to cope with the new care challenges, as well as the simple addition of so many daily tasks to an already busy workload, leave some difficult questions to answer.
What type of care tasks can I provide?
What do I need to learn about elder care and medication before I begin?
Could home care damage a cherished family relationship?
Will I be able to face the more personal and intimate requirements of care?
These questions and many more arise when such a seismic and, usually, an unexpected duty of care enters our lives.
Home care is a challenging job in its own right. That challenge increases exponentially when the dependent is one’s own mother, father, or another relative.
The potential for strained relationships and disagreements, added to the increased burden of everyday tasks and chores, mean some big decisions regarding how you’ll care for your elderly parent and what support you’ll need.
Today, we’ll look at some of the factors you’ll need to consider as you begin to take on the task of providing care and comfort for a senior family member.
The first thing to do is sit down with your senior family member – or even someone who understands their daily routine – to draw up a complete list of tasks that absolutely must get done every day, week, and month. These could include a wide range of activities, so start with an open mind and give the task plenty of time.
Think about physical activities where the person might need help, like dressing in the morning, getting up and around the house, heading out of the house for a morning walk, and any other common morning task. This will set you off thinking about the daily routine and help you both walk through a typical day. In each scenario, consider whether your loved one’s condition will limit them from getting through the activity and how you can help make it easier, preferably without intruding or taking it over completely.
Regular chores like cleaning, weekly trips to the grocery store, walking the dog, and bringing in the mail will provide another example of areas you can help. Admin tasks such as making sure bills get paid and services are arranged also need to be considered, as seniors often rely on these services and won’t be able to cope without them.
Keep in mind that this is not a list of everything you will do, but merely a starting point to separate out the most vital tasks from those that are less important, or which your loved one should still be able to accomplish. You can also divide the responsibilities among family, friends, and professional service providers in some cases, making the burden less difficult to bear for the primary caregiver.
As the offers of help increase from family and friends, it’s often the case that the voice of your senior family member can become drowned out. Don’t allow this to happen. The sense of isolation and losing control will be considerably worse than any element of care that may be overlooked for a moment.
Firstly, make sure that the discussions about care and what’s required include your loved one, wherever possible. Their wishes should be considered in every case, even when a decision has to be made that they might not like. Even having some input is better than feeling that family members are taking everything away from them, as it offers some sense of control and influence. As much as their condition makes it possible, allow them that input.
Sometimes the very act of having a conversation about care can be therapeutic. The shift to full-time care can be particularly difficult, so take it one step at a time and be openly communicative with your senior family member at every possible stage.
There are various levels of support you can receive in caregiving, from a few tasks being taken care of on your behalf to a complete home care solution.
From your task list created in the earlier section, start with the tasks that you know will be toughest to achieve based on your skills and schedule, then make sure you seek out qualified help to get them done. This could be anything from getting evening meals delivered because you can’t get out of work quickly enough to cook, to having an care provider check in during the early morning when you can’t be around to set up the day.
A professional home care provider will cover all kinds of services. The kind of service – whether agency or individual, medical professional or home health assistant – will depend entirely on the requirements of your senior family member and the availability of secondary caregivers in the form of other friends and family. You might only need a few hours help a week at first, but that requirement could grow and already having a caregiver on hand whom you trust will make the transition that much easier.
Even with the many treatments and care options available, the most important thing to remember about caring for a parent into their senior years is communication.
As you take on a new set of care duties, it’s important to keep in mind that this person is family first, patient or dependent second. Talk to them as you always have, play games, read, laugh and cry with him or her. Enjoy all the regular activities you have throughout their life, as much as their condition allows it.
Old age raises all kinds of health problems and challenges, but they need not remove the fullness of life from the things you love to do with your senior.
As our family members age, that all-important quality of life is increasingly based on the care you can provide – personally or with the help of a professional – and the experiences you help them have.
We know you will give everything to the care of your senior family member, but make sure that in doing so you don’t overlook the importance of celebrating the life and memorable moments you have experienced together. | 2019-04-21T03:15:14 | https://www.1800homecare.com/homecare/senior-parent-care-advice/ |
If you’re curious about the growth potential of the virtual-reality market—especially from an employment perspective—look no further than development giant Valve, which devotes nearly a third of its staff to VR applications.
That’s massive, considering all the other projects under Valve’s umbrella, and a sign that many in tech see VR as the future of gaming (and perhaps much more).
That staffing statistic comes courtesy of Alan Yates, a high-ranking engineer at Valve, in comments on Reddit. (Hat tip to Uploadvr.com for pointing it out.) “Key individuals that solved most of the really hard technological problems and facilitated this generation of consumer headsets are still here working on the next generation,” he wrote in a commenting thread.
Valve is currently looking for virtual reality engineers with experience in human-computer interaction, computer vision (tracking, photogrammetry, bundle adjustment), 3D skills, and engine integration (Unity and Unreal preferred).
A lot of smaller firms working in the VR space have gotten very good at leveraging specific technologies such as eye tracking and display hardware, Yates continued in another part of the thread, but haven’t managed to turn that knowledge into a successful product. “The minimum viable product is now a pretty high bar and that can stifle innovation,” he wrote. With that in mind, Valve is apparently planning on licensing its research and technology to those smaller creators, provided the smaller company’s device ends up interoperable with Valve’s platform.
For smaller developers interested in VR, licensing from Valve, Facebook, Microsoft or another company in the space may eventually prove the best route forward. That would certainly save money on research and development, and allow devs to focus on creating next-generation products, although it raises some longer-term concerns about licensing conditions and vendor lock-in.
Valve isn’t the only competitor in the virtual-reality space, and it remains to be seen whether its open approach to the VR ecosystem will pay off, especially since there are hints that competitors may take a different stance. (Facebook, for example, seems determined to lock down some software on the Oculus platform.) Given how it’s still very early days for VR, it may be years before any trends become clear. But in the interim, from an employee perspective, Valve is betting very big on VR as the future. | 2019-04-24T22:29:32 | https://insights.dice.com/2016/06/21/valve-keeps-ramping-its-vr-efforts/ |
The first workshop took place at the University of Bristol, on 16-17 April 2009, and focused on theoretical questions of memory. The event focused on two central strands: ‘Memory and Politics’ and ‘Memory and Media’, and welcomed keynote papers from Dr Susannah Radstone (University of East London) and Professor Ansgar Nünning (Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen).
A report of discussions from the final session of the workshop summarises the main points of discussion during the workshop, and indicates suggested ways forward for the Network and for forthcoming events.
A list of recommended reading was sent to members prior to the workshop, in order to provide a common basis for discussion, particularly on theoretical questions of memory.
Please find below the outlines of both keynote papers, which have kindly been provided by the speakers. Useful lists of suggested reading have been included in both cases. | 2019-04-18T19:21:54 | http://afterthewall.bangor.ac.uk/workshop1.php |

My one gripe about Paalkova – How to make Palkova / Milk Sweet is that they come in endless exciting-sounding flavor combinations, and they are all generally absolutely divine.
In a heavy bottomed pan, add milk (use full-fat milk to make a large quantity) and allow it to boil. Once it boils, mix it well.
Allow it to form a thickened milk layer on top.
Mix it well with milk. Now bring the flame to medium to avoid burning the milk.
Again allow it to boil till it reduces to 1/2 by stirring and scraping the side of the pan from time to time.
Now you can see the milk getting reduced into a thick paste.
Once it becomes more thickened, add sugar and mix it well.
Once the sugar melts, the mixture will become loosened again. Again, mix it and allow it to thicken.
Add ghee and mix it well, and allow it to cook till it becomes semi-solid.
When it becomes semi-solid, transfer it a bowl and allow to cool down. As it cools down, it will thicken over time.
Finally, Paalkova – How to make Palkova / Milk Sweet is ready to serve warm or cold!!
Cooking time will vary depending on the flame and the pan you use.
Add cardamom powder if you want.
Use a Heavy bottomed (nonstick or ceramic) pan to make the step easy and to avoid burning.
Add more sugar according to sweet level.
Stir it in between the bottom and sides of the pan to avoid burning.
Once it cools down, store it in the refrigerator up to one week. | 2019-04-24T19:51:43 | https://www.mozismenu.com/paalkova-how-to-make-palkova-milk-sweet/ |
If you had any issues browsing some of your favorite websites last week you weren’t alone! Access to Amazon, Twitter, PayPal and Spotify, just to name a few, was totally cut off on Friday.
Industry professionals call it a distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS, attack. In other words, a whole bunch of devices connected to the Internet sent a lot of data to machines (servers) that made them crash. Hackers did it, though exactly who remains in question.
The attack vector, though, is definitely known. Websites were not actually attacked. Instead, the suspects targeted the path that 99.9% of people use to get to the websites.
A bunch of online machines called domain name system servers, or DNS servers for short, help the Internet work. They allow regular folks like you and me to type in a website name and get there.
Behind the scenes, these DNS servers link the website name that you type to an IP address. So, the home address of the website, instead of 231 Main St., USA, is usually something like 198.51.100.24.
Remembering complex numbers like this isn’t the strong suit of most humans, so we hit the easy button and leverage the simplicity of the DNS servers. At least until they’re massively attacked and taken offline.
With Election Day less than two weeks away, some folks are worried that key information may not make its way to voters if we see another DDoS attack.
In Hong Kong in 2014, a DDoS attack took down a key election website during a big vote. It affected the information flow during the campaign.
So now the pay-for-protection business model is booming.
It’s something I follow as part of my MarketVOX Trader service. Disruptive technologies could help solve some cyber security problems, and I look at ways to actually profit from them.
You see, if you want major protection from a DDoS attack, you have to pay a major protection service provider to employ a massive online infrastructure to safeguard your precious site.
It’s kind of like paying your local “Union Rep,” Uncle Vito, to operate your store in his territory under his protection, whether you like it or not.
DDoS attacks are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to threats. There are a ton of far worse events that can occur from the mischievous minds operating online.
Plain theft has been the biggest issue in recent years. Yes, getting your company’s credit card payment system hacked into is a problem, but imagine having all of your company’s intellectual property stolen.
Intellectual property (IP) includes everything from drawings, plans, training materials, trade secrets, and, of course, research and development projects.
According to a new survey from Deloitte, one-fifth of the 2,500 professionals surveyed suspect that employees and other insiders steal company IP. In the automotive industry, one-third held this suspicion!
That’s a big problem when, across the S&P 500 in 2015, companies’ total value consisted of 87% intellectual property and only 13% tangible assets.
One technique companies employ to lockdown IP theft is role-based access control on their networks. If you don’t have a critical role on a program, your access to the data associated with that program is restricted.
Role-based network identities, though, are usually accessed by… a username and password. The problem with usernames and passwords is that hackers can easily steal and leverage them to download the guarded information.
Some companies have swapped to biometrics for access, which include fingerprints, iris scans and other bodily identifiers. But what happens when the biometric data eventually gets stolen?
Most people just reset their password when it’s compromised. But resetting your fingerprint or eyeball is tough, even for a guy like Jason Bourne.
One New York City-based startup company called HYPR Corp. is working to solve the problem of biometric theft with novel solutions that involve decentralizing the data and encrypting it. HYPR recently closed a $3 million seed round to make its cybersecurity products widely-known.
Bottom line: cyber security and protection continue to be a growing and profitable business sector. The problem is that no one really respects it or is willing to pay for it until they’re the ones compromised.
It really is a tangled web of cyber security. Appropriate, with Halloween fast approaching.

Opinion: Can blended finance close the generational gap of aid workers?
It’s becoming more and more clear to me that the world of economic development is bifurcating. On the one hand, we have the “old school” of development professionals with deep experience on the ground and working within a relatively rigid institutional and financial framework. This category would include many of the multilateral organizations and bilateral aid agencies for whom I have worked for much of my career — the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the regional development banks, and so on. It also includes the ecosystem of consultants, implementers, contractors, and NGOs that has evolved to serve these traditional development agencies.
On the other hand, you have the “new kids on the block,” who hail from the private sector and represent huge reserves of capital. This includes millennials, who are slated to inherit $30 trillion from the baby boomers and who want to invest their inheritance responsibly; large companies with trillions of dollars of idle cash on their balance sheets, hoping that corporate venturing can replace traditional corporate social responsibility and mitigate disruption in many markets; and the new philanthropists, who want to invest rather than donate. These new players see social entrepreneurship and impact investing as a way to achieve both profits and purpose.
Generally speaking, these two worlds do not intersect much. Nowhere was that more evident than last month, when we saw the World Bank annual meetings in Washington, D.C., at the same time as the Social Capital Markets conference in San Francisco. Although a smattering of people from the U.N., the World Bank, USAID, and other development agencies attended SOCAP this year, they made up at most 5 percent of the crowd. Most people — many of them very young — came to SOCAP from the “new kids on the block” segment.
And yet, there was significant overlap in the topics of discussion at these meetings. Most notably, the focus on mobilizing trillions (rather than billions) of dollars to meet the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs envision a world free from poverty by 2030 and lay out 17 goals we have to meet to get there. I’ve been excited and impressed by the wide range of stakeholders who seem motivated by the SDGs. Corporates, civil society, governments: everyone seems to be talking about how to achieve the Goals.
Clearly, if the Goals will require $2.4 trillion more than is currently being spent via traditional development assistance and foreign direct investment, then private capital markets and larger investors will have to get involved. At the same time, it is estimated that, should the SDGs actually materialize, they will offer a $12 trillion business opportunity by 2030. That’s the kind of number that has companies and investors perking up their ears. Indeed, when the U.N.’s Business and Sustainable Development Commission laid out the business case for achieving the SDGs, it was confirming a growing sense that the SDGs represent good business.
But the new players and the market can’t do this all on their own — at least not on the accelerated schedule demanded by the SDGs. We need a “worlds collide” approach to solving the world’s most intractable economic, social, and environmental problems.
One promising solution gaining traction is blended finance. Blended finance refers to how grant funding from the more traditional development players can leverage and crowd in private capital. This happens when the subsidized funds reduce real and perceived risks, better enable both potential investee entrepreneurs and new investors to facilitate transactions, and bring together otherwise uneasy bedfellows to help them speak the same language.
At DAI, we are heading a consortium of “new” players (CrossBoundary, Tideline, and Convergence) to help USAID accelerate the development of blended finance. USAID is innovating at the frontier of blended finance with a new program called The Invest Project, which seeks to unlock the potential of private capital to drive inclusive growth in countries around the world. Encouraging investment in these markets — especially in high-impact areas important to USAID such as agriculture, financial services, infrastructure, energy, clean water, health, and education — requires new forms of collaboration between USAID and the investment community.
Whether through blended finance or other mechanisms, I hope that we see more of this dialogue and understanding across the two worlds, traditional and new. It’s time for a meeting of the minds, not only to mobilize the kind of cash required to meet the SDGs, but to come up with new ways to address development problems. If each of us continues to work solely on our own and within our comfort zones, we will struggle to generate the breakthrough models we so desperately need. | 2019-04-21T05:10:16 | https://www.devex.com/news/opinion-can-blended-finance-close-the-generational-gap-of-aid-workers-91466 |

Versatile duo Mike Blair and Greig Laidlaw will steer the Edinburgh Rugby back-line against Cardiff Blues in round four of the Heineken Cup at Murrayfield Stadium tomorrow (kick-off 8pm).
Two wins from three in Heineken Cup Pool 2 means Edinburgh Rugby are just three points behind this weekend’s opponents, who leapfrogged Edinburgh into the Pool’s top spot in the reverse fixture last Friday (25-8).
Now, with home advantage, the capital club have the chance to redress the Pool positions, with a win capable of restoring Edinburgh to the top spot with two matches remaining – Racing Metro away followed by London Irish at Murrayfield.
The selection of Blair and Laidlaw is the only change in the Edinburgh Rugby back-line, while two personnel changes have been made in the pack – Grant Gilchrist and Netani Talei coming in for Esteban Lozada and Stuart McInally in the second and back-row.
Talei’s introduction means there’s no room for McInally in the match-day 23, with Ross Rennie retaining the back-row replacement berth, while Lozada takes Steven Turnbull’s place on the bench.
Talei, who started and scored in the club’s last home Heineken Cup match against Racing Metro, said: “Everyone’s looking forward to this game, the boys are confident and have been focussed on this match since we left Cardiff on Saturday. It’s a big, big game for us.
Other notable inclusions see centre Matt Scott return from a hip injury sustained in the side’s 48-47 win over Racing Metro, while the experienced Phil Godman provides the half-back replacement option for Laidlaw and Blair from the bench. | 2019-04-19T09:07:04 | https://www.rugbyworld.com/tournaments/european-champions-cup/edinburgh-confirm-side-for-cardiff-rematch-17617 |
It seems even the massive corporations were not on it, as Google has been fined 50 million euros (£44m) for GDPR breaches.
The French data regulator CNIL has ruled that Google had a lack of transparency, inadequate information and lack of valid consent regarding ads personalisation.
It also stated that it believed that people were not sufficiently informed about how Google collected data to personalise advertising.
This decision has stemmed from two complaints against Google made in May 2018, made by privacy rights groups noyb and La Quadrature du Net (LQDN).
While Google EU has its base in Ireland, the French Data Protection regulator was chosen as the Irish counterpart had limited power.
This decision highlights how hard the GDPR can bite when it is breached, something that has worried a number of businesses since its implementation.
In response to the decision, Google have said they are “deeply committed to meeting those expectations and the consent requirements of the GDPR."
See this as a warning, make sure you are complaint or brace yourself for the hefty financial consequences. | 2019-04-18T16:30:28 | https://www.lawdit.co.uk/reading-room/Google-hit-with-44-million-pounds-fine-over-GDPR-breach |
In August 2016, I hiked solo round trip from Tuolumne Meadows to what John Muir called Dome Dam, a tough granite wall that resisted the carving of the multiple glaciers that passed down this canyon over the last million years. Just beyond this granite dam, the Tuolumne River falls rapidly, and literally, in multiple cascades, Tuolumne Falls, and White Cascade-- on its way to the next flat of Glen Aulin.
I wanted to climb two of the domes that form this "Dome Dam". The first is 500-foot-high "Dingley Dome" and the second (about 800 foot high) that I call River Dome II. The first offers a fine view of the Cathedral Range peaks and the second a fine view down the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne. I made both climbs and wended my way back off trail by following the winding and singing Tuolumne River back to camp. The late-season Tuolumne was low but beautiful.
Enjoy these photographs of my day's adventure! | 2019-04-23T12:10:58 | http://yosemitecathedral.blogspot.com/2016/08/down-and-up-yosemites-tuolumne-river.html |
I've been extremely disappointed with Jean-Michael Seri this season.
When he arrived from Nice in the summer, I was as surprised as anyone that Fulham managed to pull off such a coup in bringing him to the club and excited to see a player of his magnitude strut his stuff at Craven Cottage.
I wasn't disappointed in the first few games - he was magnificent against Crystal Palace while he was on a different planet altogether in the win over Burnley.
But since, he just seems to be, well, there.
He's made 200 more passes than any other player in white this season, but they don't seem to be passes that actually contribute to much for Fulham.
Seri hasn't done anything that has made me think he's a player that could've played for Barcelona and his performances have been very disappointing to say the least.
That was the same in the Chelsea defeat - he started as the defensive point in a midfield diamond but was caught in possession within three minutes by N'Golo Kante which led to the first goal in what was an almost carbon copy of the goal he gifted to Manchester City at the Etihad.
I know there's a player there - he made some decent tackles but he just isn't have the impact that you'd expect from a player of his calibre.
Is it because he's taking a while to adapt to the Premier League? Is it because of the frantic pace the English league has compared to France? Is he not suited to Fulham's system? Did players make him better than he actually was at Nice?
I don't know the answer, but we have to start seeing more from Seri this season.
Fulham's search for a clean sheet continued after they shipped two goals at Stamford Bridge, meaning they're now the only team in the top four tiers of English football not to shut out their opponents this season.
The 35 goals they've conceded is also the joint most amount of goals the club have conceded after 14 games of a top flight campaign, tied with the 1959/60 season while it's six more than any other side in the Premier League this season.
Claudio Ranieri has stressed the importance of keeping a clean sheet but at the moment it really doesn't look like happening any time soon, and the Italian knows as well as anyone that if you keep leaking goals you will go down.
We saw another change in shape from the manager to try and stifle Chelsea's more attacking players, but yet another individual mistake early in the game meant that it was even more of an uphill struggle after just three minutes.
Those individual errors plagued Slavisa Jokanovic's 12 games in the Premier League, but there's very little a manager can do about them once those players take to the pitch - tactics only go so far before you have to trust your players once they cross the white line.
Fulham desperately need a clean sheet and they need it soon.
That leads me nicely to my next point.
While I'm sure most reading this won't consider Stamford Bridge one of their favourite grounds, from a journalist's point of view it's fantastic.
The press box is located about five rows behind the dugouts, meaning we can see and hear everything that the new managers are doing and shouting at their teams on the pitch.
It makes a huge difference from Craven Cottage where I can barely see Ranieri during the game.
On Sunday, I got to witness Ranieri's more animated side as he slammed his hands down in frustration at Fulham's defending and shouted 'oh no' every time they lost the ball.
It's clear from watching him he's as frustrated as the fans are with his side's defensive capabilities and that defensive shape is high on the menu at Motspur Park at the moment.
In press conferences Ranieri is a jovial character, almost like a lovable granddad, but we got to see first hand what he is like as Ranieri the manager on Sunday.
Ranieri is living up to his title as the Tinkerman as he changed from the formation he played against Southampton, instead employing a diamond in the midfield with Ryan Sessegnon up top.
It didn't quite work as he would've wanted - Chelsea exploited space down the flanks while Sessegnon didn't see much of the ball up front, so was pulled into the wide area of a three with Stefan Johansen on the other flank to try and provide that.
That didn't work either, so Ranieri rang the changes at half time and brought on Floyd Ayite and Aboubakar Kamara to give his side that much needed width, and it worked well.
Fulham moved the ball out wide better and got into some good positions, but they weren't able to put in any quality crosses for Aleksandar Mitrovic to feed off as he cut a frustrated character.
Ranieri certainly showed he can tinker clever with the half time subs at Stamford Bridge, but he's still in the process of finding out what works for his new team.
Who would've predicted after the Cardiff City defeat that Calum Chambers would be a revelation in midfield for Fulham?
But that's what's happened with Chambers now an important part of Ranieri's midfield option as he had another solid game in the heart of it for his loan club at Stamford Bridge.
I think he does well there in a defensive capability because of his reading of the game, which is probably one of his strongest aspects, meaning he's able to be in the right positions to stop the opposing side's attacks - something we haven't really seen from Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa yet this season.
Going forward there's still a lot to work on - he had a number of really good chances for Fulham while we saw him turn into peak Ronaldinho before smashing the ball out for a throw in when he meant to cross it, but it's very encouraging from the Arsenal loanee. | 2019-04-20T03:03:33 | https://www.football.london/fulham-fc/jean-michael-seri-struggles-calum-15496763 |

Some of Munich‘s most impressive charms can be enjoyed free of charge. Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt, Englischer Garten, Karlsplatz, Odeonsplatz — some of the most pleasant and notable spots in the city are available for everyone to enjoy. Mere blocks from that downtown area sit two impressive structures overlooking the Isar River: the Friedensengel (Angel of Peace) and the Maximilianeum.

Spending a Day in Washington, D.C.
Spending a day in Washington, D.C. is a great idea. Spending a day in Washington, D.C. in August (the first day, actually) can cause a traveler to have a second thought. But there I was with a day in Washington, D.C. The nation’s capital is full of fantastic options of things to see and do. There’s no shortage of great restaurants and shops. And while the city does have plenty of public transit options — from the subway to buses doing circuits of the most popular tourist attractions — the relatively flat landscape makes for fantastic walking. Yeah, a day in Washington, D.C. is full of fun.

In southern Munich, Germany on the edge of the Theresienwiese — perhaps best known for playing home every year to Oktoberfest — stands a woman. Nearly 61 feet tall, she is clothed classically in a draped Grecian gown. At her feet, a lion sits loyally at her side while her left arm is outstretched with a wreath of oak leaves. She represents Bavaria. It would be easy to draw comparisons to another famous female: the Statue of Liberty. But the Bavaria statue, as she is called, is older. And Lady Bavaria has got a bit of a secret!

I feel like taking photographs of monuments, busts and sculptures in parks has become my thing. They seem like such underrated works of art that we all take for granted. During our recent trip to the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, I loved turning every corner and not knowing what would be next. Often, it was a statue. Who would it memorialize? So often it seemed somewhat random. English great Shakespeare holds court in the sunny park with German greats Goethe and Schiller. The three rubbed bronzed elbows with United States presidents, Beethoven (although as a bust he was elbow-less), Francis “oh say can you see” Scott Key and Czech philosopher and politician Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, who is also lacking in the below-the-chin area. And these are merely the statues that we stumbled upon. It’s simply lovely!

Sometimes there are places or buildings that I’d like to see that I’m pretty confident I’ll never see. For example, it’s pretty likely I’ll never get to see the Azadi Tower, or “Freedom Tower,” in Tehran, Iran. I don’t recall the first time I saw the monument but it was likely in the news. Over the past few years, it’s commonly been used as a backdrop for former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speeches. Originally I thought it was a bridge but the Azadi Tower is actually a monument in a public square.
