WOOOW! Half a milimetar thiner!!!! What an incredible piece of engeneering.... c'mon get serios, samsung, make something new...
Please change your design Samsung. Worst device with many and other specifications. Asus and all Indian mobile manufacturer is better than Samsung.
yeah, 03 Dec 2014Who cares bout that. . . We have Xiami , Moto etc . . .But people will buy only Samsung whether low end or mid end or flagship that is brand my friend.Indian is Sammy market.Whatever crap they sell even with 512 mb ram for android will sell.And in mid end phones like grand will sell.Xiaomi can't beat Samsung in India.Btwn am lumia user though it has worst market share I love my lumia 830 but India is Samsung territory. Even though people say that is not truth .Data speaks.Samsung will sell cheap end phones at high cost just by adding a metal.Then people will come nd say what an innovation by Samsung .
Time has been ripe for Samsung to go
out of market like Nokia. Samsung still making fool to the customers by launching weekly a phone with low specs and high price. How many days Samsung will sell the phone like this attitude.
Muthu, 03 Dec 2014You forgot the level of ifanboys. They will claim iphone 6+ came first and samsung copied and ... moreYou forgot the level of ifanboys. They will claim iphone 6+ came first and samsung copied and released note 4, so samsung copied apple. That is their belief, no matter what you say or what the truth is.
How can that be? The whole world know that Apple has copycat Samsung 2~3 years oldold devices. iPhone 6 was a Galaxy S3 copycat, iPhone 6 Plus was Galaxy Note 2 copycat, unless ifan people was living in cave for the past 3 years though.
AnonD-243873, 03 Dec 2014Samsung going to price this 35000 rs on India for sure.Who cares bout that. . . We have Xiami , Moto etc . . .
I'm completely baffled by this obsession with thin phones. The width matters as it affects the handling of the phone. The height matters as it affects how well it fits in a pocket, bag etc. The thickness matters because ... um ... oh yes, it affects how big a battery can be fitted.
Anonymous, 03 Dec 2014Guessing you have never seen an Alpha before then as its not a sealed unit.If you look at the pictures of this unit and of the Galaxy A5 (on Samsung China) you can see that they, unlike the Galaxy Alpha, has card-slots on the sides.
The Galaxy A5 is specified as having Nano-SIM too :(
DaXiong, 03 Dec 2014More crap with a sealed battery...Guessing you have never seen an Alpha before then as its not a sealed unit.
Anonymous, 03 Dec 2014This suck...:( These phones should at least have 3-4 GB of RAM.2GB is not enough at all.But what apps can't run on 2GB? Just because having a greater ram doesn't mean an improvements to speed. Fragmentation is mostly an issue not ram!
Anonymous, 03 Dec 2014This suck...:( These phones should at least have 3-4 GB of RAM.2GB is not enough at all.iPhone6 Plus only has 1 GB RAM. Samsung A7 is better...
Inbetweener, 03 Dec 2014Samsung made a Phablet device, so logic dictates that Apple must now make a Phablet device. ... moreYou forgot the level of ifanboys. They will claim iphone 6+ came first and samsung copied and released note 4, so samsung copied apple.

We are currently entering wedding season, so we are joined by the designer and founder of SAFANJA Designs, Liese Morgan. SAFANJA Designs is evening wear and bridal boutique, and they will be discussing and showing off some of the trending designs, of the 2018 wedding season.
Liese obtained her Bachelors Degree in Fashion Design at CPUT, in Cape Town, during this time she obtained the Deans Merit Award. After graduating she went on to work in the industry for 3 years, working as a design assistant in commercial sector, a fashion lecturer, and a creative design assistant in the private sector. All this before she went on to start SAFANJA Designs in 2015.
Most couples who want to get married, often prefer to have summer weddings, which is why many people in the bridal industry often refer to this time of year as ‘Crazy season’, due to the number of requests. This leaves many wedding venues fully booked, often with 2 weddings in a day. During these days there is also a heavy toll on designers, as they have work on designs and outfits for whole bridal parties, all on a tight deadline. This all happens while the designers still have to manage other clients while dealing with the sometimes difficult personalities of the brides. | <urn:uuid:fa1a69f1-416f-4702-bbd6-8375a06e585d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://afternoonexpress.co.za/guests/safanja-designs/4142 | 2018-11-19T06:01:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745281.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119043725-20181119065725-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.975131 | 264 | [

Medical Center 6K, a Mother’s Day Race Tradition
This exciting event, sponsored by the Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, has something for everyone in the family. Make Mother’s Day shine with a fantastic celebration of health, fitness and fun, May 9, 2010 in Nashua, New Hampshire.
Posted Thursday, 25 February, 2010
Get ready for a really special race this Mother’s Day. The Medical Center 6K welcomes runners of all ages and abilities. Go ahead and mark this one on your spring race calendar right away! You won’t want to miss this gem of a race. Bring your mom and experience a departure from an ordinary Mother’s Day; it will be truly memorable. And because all the race proceeds go to the New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition’s Support Services Fund, you will enjoy the satisfaction of helping others in need. Mom will be proud!
This challenging 6K is a unique distance at 3.73 miles. It comes as no surprise that the race was selected as the USATF New England Championship and Grand Prix race in 2008. But that is just one of the many on a long list of attributes that makes the Southern New Hampshire Medical Center 6K stand out on the race calendar. This event features a picturesque, well managed course, plenty of amenities, an excellent race organization, gift certificate awards, a fitness walk, and the chance to nominate your mom as Grand Marshal!
The Medical Center 6K, which also features a 1.25-mile Fit Walk, is a wonderful blend of many noteworthy traditions. Since 2002, Southern New Hampshire Medical Center has used this race as a platform for promoting and celebrating health, fitness and wellness in the community.
The race has always been a kick off for the Fitness University for Kids program administered by the Gate City Striders. This award winning program is now in its 21st year and is more important than ever in the efforts to guard against childhood obesity. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Gate City Striders, who have expertly organized and managed it through the years, this successful program enjoys a great reputation with parents and kids who expect quality each summer.
Runners expect quality from the Medical Center 6K as well, and the race delivers, year after year. www.medicalcenter6k.com
Runners of all abilities will delight in the small town atmosphere of downtown Nashua. The tree-lined course starts at the Medical Center’s downtown campus at 10 prospect Street and heads southward, winding through several city neighborhoods. It cuts through the Rivier College campus, passes the fairways of the Nashua Country Club golf course, and loops back to the start.
Walkers will step off behind runners on a separate course at 10 Prospect Street. The 1.25-mile walkers’ course winds through area neighborhoods ending at the corner of Dearborn and Prospect Streets. This enjoyable walk is an ideal Mother’s Day activity for all the non-runners in the family who want to be part of the action and fun. Registration is quite reasonable, and kids 12 and under register for free for either the 6K race or 2K walk.
Nominate Your Mom
The race as traditionally been held on Mother’s Day. It is fitting that the special woman chosen as Grand Marshal is someone who embodies the spirit of fitness and exercise, lifestyle changes, and or triumphs over medical setbacks. If you have an inspirational story about your mom and would like to share it, you can nominate her for Grand Marshal - an amazing tribute that will make this Mother’s Day unforgettable.
The overall female and male winners will each receive a pair of Red Sox tickets. Male and female age group awards will be given to the top two runners in each division and will include gift certificates. There are three youth divisions, then 10-year age groups through 70+. The Annual Southern New Hampshire Health System President’s Cup is presented to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center or Foundation of Medical Partners for the group with the fastest three top runners.
Course records are held by Stephanie Reilly of Whitensville, Massachusetts with a time of 20:41, and by Ben Ndaya of Lowell, Massachusetts with a time of 18:20. Last year’s male and female winners were Cathy Merra of Amherst New Hampshire, and Granite State runner Jason Porter with times of 23:44 and 20:48 respectively.
You will want to stick around after the race for fun filled post race celebration. You can opt for a free massage or just relax and spend some quality time with friends and family celebrating your latest fitness achievement. There will be lots of fruit and yogurt and of course the race specialty – southern New Hampshire Medical Center’s Famous Buffalo Chili.
The New Hampshire Breast Cancer’s Coalition Support Services Fund is a resource for patients who have exhausted all options for financial assistance. Anyone with a diagnosis of breast cancer living or being treated in New Hampshire is eligible to apply.
The NHBCC welcomes your involvement in the battle against breast cancer. Please join the race to help end this deadly disease that affects so many New Hampshire women and their families.

The meeting will begin promptly at 6:30 pm with a 5 minute intro and a look at the upcoming 2018 schedule.
Although completely self taught, Kenny has 30 years experience in photography and photo finishing and possesses a wealth of knowledge that he is eager to share. His interest in photography goes back to his pre-teen years when his parents bought him his first box camera. He spent many of his early years in the business working for local photo retailers but has since moved on to a position that enables him to share his technical expertise. Kenny McKeithan Photography teaches hands on photography workshops in the field with day trips locally and 4 and 5-day outings to North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee and Florida.
He is an award winning nature photographer whose portfolio contains “a little bit of everything.” Among Kenny’s favorites are aviation, fashion, glamour, and portraiture, but he has always been drawn to the outdoors. Kenny’s images have appeared in Charleston Magazine, Art Mag, Camera in the Wild, Where Magazine, and on greeting cards and calendars
Kenny is a regional co-coordinator for the Carolinas’ Nature Photographers Association and an instructor with The Charleston Center for Photography. Currently living in Summerville, Kenny is a native to the Lowcountry, born and raised (as they say) on James Island a suburb of Charleston, SC. | <urn:uuid:e8e7fea3-5f84-4420-b644-ad3046996cfa> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://seabrookislandphotoclub.com/march-15-630-pm-live-oak-hall-macro-hands-on-workshop-kenny-mc-keithan/ | 2018-11-19T06:05:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745281.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119043725-20181119065725-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.96793 | 432 | [

If you want to see everything Nashville has to offer, there is no better way to do so from behind the wheel of a rental car from Hertz. Stop spending your vacation waiting on the bus, or being nickel and dimed with ride-shares or taxis. Having your own vehicle enables you to go to the locations you want to see the most, when you want. Make your upcoming trip to Tennessee more enjoyable with a Hertz rental car.
Why drive with CarRentals.com?
With all there is to do and see in and around the Nashville area, you'll want to take in more than the area surrounding your hotel during your visit. Whether you are hoping to check out the cafe that has gotten great reviews across town or check out some of the best local favorites, you'll need your own vehicle to see and do as much as you can while on your vacation. Whatever you end up doing in Nashville, if you wish to get the most out of your time in the city, having access to your automobile is a must.
We work with many of the finest car rental businesses in the world. Hertz has over a hundred years of experience and a fleet containing many of the most respected in the business, like Ford and Nissan. With Hertz impressive history and thousands of franchises worldwide, you know you will be in great hands.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get the best prices on a Nashville Hertz car rental?
CarRentals.com strives to get you the lowest price, whether you reserve your vehicle. However, getting your car ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to check the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.
What should I carry with me when I get my rental car in Nashville?
Make sure to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.
How old do I have to be to rent a car in Nashville?
Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Nashville is 21. Make sure to check Hertz's policy, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category rentals in particular.
What kind of Hertz rental car should I get for my trip to Nashville?
That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Nashville. Compact or economy automobiles are great for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a mid-size car or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Nashville vacation can choose the premium category for a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.
Do I need insurance when I rent a car in the United States?
In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Many major credit cards (Discover, American Express, Visa and MasterCard) generally cover your car rental. However, many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Be sure to call your credit card company and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Nashville. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Hertz car rental?
Hertz requires a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
What is the fuel policy on my Hertz car rental?
We advise a full to full policy. You should get into your vehicle with the needle at "F". However, if you return the rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Hertz. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Do I need unlimited miles when I rent a car in Nashville?
Nashville certainly has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities in Nashville.
Does Nashville Hertz offer one-way car rentals?
Hertz usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to drop off your vehicle at another Hertz. However, there is typically an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
Reserve your ride today!
With so much to do and see in Nashville, having your own auto lets you explore at your own pace. When you're ready to see more of Tennessee, you can drive wherever you like, without having to spend time waiting for the bus or wave down a cab.
Before you head out of town, book your Hertz Nashville rental car and zip off to take in all the must-see sights at your leisure. Go through CarRentals.com and cruise the highway in Nashville, Tennessee. | <urn:uuid:85ba6d5a-f0fd-490c-9c9f-c50009a01ae5> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.carrentals.com/car-company/hertz-car-rentals-nashville_tennessee.v-cty/ | 2018-11-19T04:51:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745281.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119043725-20181119065725-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.954821 | 1,070 | [

Pattons Awnings is pleased to announce the successful installation of custom made clear PVC bistro blinds that have been specifically designed for those with limited mobility.
These purpose built clear and mesh blinds have been developed in consultation with the clients and incorporate features that are age care friendly.
The adoptions to the clear blinds complement the other design features of the home such as ramps instead of stairs and larger doorways.
These limited mobility clear binds feature a custom stainless steel handle to extend reach when adjusting zips, manual rope positioning to reduce lifting strain, clearance for mobility and easily removable supports to alter blind configuration.
The use of clear blinds is becoming increasingly popular with residents. Businesses, restaurants and cafes are incorporating clear blinds at the workplace to encourage the use of smoke-free areas and outdoor areas such as alfresco dining and eating areas, drinking venues, pubs and clubs as well as children's playgrounds.
Tom Gastin, MD of Pattons Awnings explained, “Each any every team has the ability to think outside the box to provide a solution that fits the exacting standards of our clients. We live our vision to enhance people’s lives. We gain a clear understanding of what our client’s expectation are and we exceed them.” | <urn:uuid:e176380f-5391-4bc7-8fb6-0586fb6e6598> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.architectureanddesign.com.au/suppliers/pattons-awnings/limited-mobility-clear-blinds-now-available-from-p | 2018-11-20T16:01:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746465.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120150950-20181120172950-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.950947 | 268 | [

South African police replaced the lead detective on the Oscar Pistorius case on Thursday, after it emerged that the initial investigator faced attempted murder charges. Pistorius is charged with murdering his girlfriend.
South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal has increased the Paralympian's jail term for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp to more than 13 years. Prosecutors had argued that the original sentence was "far too lenient."
Oscar Pistorius has been taken to hospital for overnight observation. The South African athlete, who is serving a six-year jail term for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, was reportedly suffering chest pains.
South African prosecutors want a harsher prison sentence for Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, in jail for murdering his girlfriend in 2013. They have called his current six-year sentence "shockingly" lenient.
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, the former wife of South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, has died aged 81. She fought alongside her husband against the country's apartheid regime, but was not without controversy.

In Green Lantern #56 Hal tracked down the Orange Lantern Bearer Larfleeze. He learned of the entity called Ophidian that was trapped inside Larfleeze’s lantern. Hector Hammond joining the party changed Hal Jordan’s plans.
Hector Hammond fuses with Ophidian, yet Hammond seems to have most of the control. Hector Hammond by himself is already dangerous, but with the power of Ophidian he is a much more serious threat.
Fearing that Hector Hammond may go after Carol Ferris, Hal heads to her last known location, Las Vegas.
Star Sapphire Carol Ferris is in Las Vegas trying to track down the entity of love, The Predator. The Predator entity is corrupting people and trying to get them to realize true love. Obviously possessing someone and forcing their hand is intrusive, and Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris try to stop this.
Yes this review seems really expository, that’s because Green Lantern #57 is difficult to talk about without giving away the entire story. And the story is the only thing noteworthy as there’s very little action in this issue.
Most of the fight scenes leave you wanting more, and that’s not what I want from a Green Lantern comic. I want more spectacle and more use of the Power Ring; Green Lantern #57 doesn’t have that, and it would be okay if the premise was more intriguing, but it isn’t. This issue just feels like a set piece, and not what is indicative of the Brightest Day story arc as a whole. Or so I hope.
Many different inkers lent their talents to Green Lantern #57. And some of the panels are really strikingly colored. Notably panel’s 19 & 20, which are vibrantly lit, and standout from the main artwork featured in this comic.
Most of what happens in this issue happens extremely quickly. Each panel jumps to one scene and then the next, and there isn’t much cohesion with each piece of art depicted. In one panel Carol and Hal can be talking, and in the very next panel they are getting strangled. The visuals are really chaotic. And it seems like Geoff Johns really wanted to tell this story in one issue—it probably would have been better suited to be broken up into two or three.
Green Lantern #57 tries to cram so much info into one issue that it becomes unfocused. It’s just kind of a “blah” feeling from beginning to end. And you get that the next issues will explore how Hal Jordan deals with the various other entities that are loose on Earth. But Green Lantern #57, as a standalone story, isn’t particularly enthralling. | <urn:uuid:b10a2175-3efc-410a-8dfc-91d2f85d37e0> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://don3d.blogspot.com/2011/04/green-lantern-issue-57.html | 2018-11-21T20:21:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039750800.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121193727-20181121215727-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.958565 | 594 | [

Doing Business Is Now More Convenient Than Ever
Have you ever been far from home and needed to print a document for a business meeting? I often receive important files from the office on my smartphone while I’m on the road visiting our team members. Whether I’m in Sacramento or Orlando learning firsthand about what is happening at our FedEx Office stores, there are many times I need to print files quickly and conveniently.
At FedEx Office, we have a number of different customers who are constantly on the go, whether they are traveling for business, en route to a parent/teacher conference or rushing to meet with a potential client. One thing we’ve learned, though, is that we all want the same thing – easy-to-use and convenient printing solutions.
We are committed to providing services that meet customer needs and I am happy to share that we recently launched FedEx Office Print & Go, a new solution we’ve developed for those (just like me) who often find themselves on the go. What’s exciting is that this technology allows customers to access and print documents directly from BlackBerry smartphones and USB flash drives, giving them more options for self-service printing. FedEx Office is the first and only national print retailer with this type of convenient service. It’s currently available at 1,600 locations and will be offered at all U.S. locations later this year, so we all can work efficiently whether we are near home or on the road.
To learn more about FedEx Office Print & Go, see our press release.
Brian Philips is President and CEO of FedEx Office.

AGRAVIS acquires the Raiffeisen Market division from RWZ Rhein-Main eG
AGRAVIS Raiffeisen AG and RWZ Rhein-Main eG have concluded a comprehensive cooperation agreement for the Raiffeisen Market division. As part of this, AGRAVIS – subject to approval by the competition authorities – will be taking over 16 Raiffeisen Markets and the wholesale business in the Markets sector from RWZ Rhein-Main eG. AGRAVIS will also supply the approximately 50 smaller outlets which will remain with RWZ with goods in the future.
AGRAVIS is strengthening its Market division which has been growing for years with this entrepreneurial step. “We are very successful in this segment and are pursuing a clear strategy for growth. This strategy has gotten another boost from the agreement with RWZ Rhein-Main eG. We can further consolidate our market position and, at the same time, leverage synergies that will be created in the areas of procurement and logistics”, said Andreas Rickmers, Chairman of the Managing Board of AGRAVIS Raiffeisen AG.
In the Raiffeisen Market segment, RWZ operates its own market locations and primarily supplies clients of primary level cooperatives as a wholesaler. RWZ has, however, not reached a strategic size in this segment. Christoph Kempkes, Chairman of the Management Board of RWZ, sees advantages for all parties from the agreement with AGRAVIS: “We are creating synergies and a secure market presence as well as jobs in the region. Clients from primary cooperatives are benefiting from the conceptual strength of AGRAVIS who is very efficient in the Market segment. Consumers will enjoy an attractive shopping experience thanks to AGRAVIS’ planned investment in the sites.”
The 60 employees in the markets which have been taken over will continue to be employed. The companies agreed to keep silent about other details. | <urn:uuid:84ab30bd-e8ec-414a-813c-c1d797948739> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.agravis.de/en/pflanzen/news_2/meldungen_detail_47296.jsp | 2018-11-21T19:46:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039750800.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121193727-20181121215727-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.946714 | 396 | [

The Jon L. White collection on Common Lisp contains material relating to the development and standardization of the programming
language Common Lisp and, more generally, the Lisp family of programming languages. Records date from 1963 to 2012, with the
bulk of the material ranging from 1978 to 1995, when White was working at MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Xerox
PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), Lucid, and Harlequin Group. Throughout many of these positions, White was serving on the
X3J13 Committee to formalize a Common Lisp standard, which aimed to combine and standardize many previous dialects of Lisp.
This collection consists of conference proceedings, manuals, X3J13 Committee correspondence and meeting minutes, notebooks,
technical papers, and periodicals documenting White’s work in all of these roles. Other dialects of Lisp--especially MAClisp--are
also major focuses of the collection. White also collected significant amounts of material on object-oriented programming,
artificial intelligence, garbage collection memory management, and floating-point arithmetic in his various computer programming
Jon L. White was involved in the development of the programming language Common Lisp, a standardized and enhanced version
of MIT’s MAClisp, both of which are dialects of Lisp. He also chaired Lisp conferences, edited Lisp periodicals, and sat on
the board of the Association of Lisp Users. In addition to his contributions to Lisp development, White was also involved
with compilers, garbage collection, and higher-level memory management. He earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from
Carnegie-Mellon University and a master’s degree in applied mathematics from Harvard University.

Ian Futers’ layouts seem to get around more than the builder himself. Probably because he manages to build great small layouts with plenty of operating potential that remain popular year after year.
Site 1: Glen Bogle
Ian Atkinson and Chris Towers’ of Broadford Model Railway Club own the layout presently. The layout, built originally in basic form by Ian Futers, is in the process of being enhanced by the present owners. A Scottish 1950-1970s era layout with a station, goods facilities and just four turnouts comprises two 4′ 6″ scenic boards and a 4′ 6″ fiddle yard with a three road traverser board.
Operation of the line is in the late steam early diesel period. Coal, Timber and fish traffic somehow still survive along with a mediocre passenger service.
You can gather further information on this layout from the club’s website as a PDF download.

Over the next few years, there are a range of energy efficiency measures being introduced which will require a minimum standard in rental properties.
From April, tenants will be able to ask their landlord to improve the energy efficiency of their rental property if it does not have an energy performance rating of band E- or higher.
And then from April 2018, all rental properties will have to have an energy performance rating of band E- or higher or it will be illegal to let them.
These measures seem to have gone under the radar somewhat as changes to mortgage interest tax relief and the incoming stamp duty surcharge have been receiving most of the attention, but they remain vitally important.
We've looked at what landlords need to do in more detail, which you can read here.
As well as your legal obligation to get your property up to scratch, it seems tenants too are placing increased importance on energy efficiency.
A study recently conducted by PropertyLetByUs.com found that 80% of 500 tenants see double glazing as a top priority for their next rental home.
What's more, a fifth of those taking part said that cost-effective central heating is a must.
PropertyLetByUs' study cites figures from the EU which show that the UK's homes are some of the most expensive to heat in Europe.
It says that single glazing in particular is responsible for many cases of damp, condensation and mould.
The report also suggests that approximately one million UK tenants are spending at least £1,000 above the average energy bill each year due to their property's energy inefficiency.
Just last month, a report was released by the All Parliamentary Group for the private rented sector – which is made up of MPs and Peers. It suggested that the energy efficiency measures are too 'complex' and could lead to 'a large number of properties' unlikely to meet the 2018 deadline.
The cross-party group concluded that there's work to be done and landlords need to work with local authorities, landlords and energy companies to identify tenants who will benefit most from energy efficiency improvements.
It also suggests that one way of tackling the problem could be to offer landlords incentives for implementing energy efficiency improvements through being able to offset costs against rental income.
“The Government has set ambitious targets for improvements to the energy efficiency of private rented housing and rightly so,” said the Group’s Chairman, Oliver Colvile MP.
“To meet these, much clearer information is needed for both landlords and tenants to understand their rights and responsibilities and the help available to improve the energy efficiency of the rental housing stock.”
It's clear that energy efficiency in rental homes is high up politicians' agenda and it's clear that tenants can benefit financially from staying in an insulated, efficient property.
What can landlords do?
The most common forms of energy efficiency improvements revolve around insulation, be it cavity, loft, solid wall or floor insulation.
Other popular measures include installing energy efficient lighting and utilising smart meters.
It's also important to make sure that all appliances are in full working order and as efficient as possible. This video from the Energy Saving Trust explains what's required in more detail.
As outlined above, double glazing is important to tenants and it's also a vital component in making any home energy efficient.
The future of quality housing
Having a rental property with a high level of energy efficiency which incorporates many of the features outlined above is likely to increase your chances of finding tenants quickly and standing out from the competition.
And if tenants are warm, comfortable and happy that the property is as energy efficient as possible, they're more likely to stick around for longer – which is the scenario that the majority of landlords are looking to achieve.
As tenants' energy efficiency and general housing expectations increase, those landlords with quality accommodation – which is well-equipped – are more likely to reap the benefits of minimised void periods and less hassle. | <urn:uuid:e0195556-5ad0-49bb-8556-0f62b6eb01fb> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://homelet.co.uk/landlord-insurance/landlord-lowdown-blog/article/tenants-energy-expectations-on-the-rise | 2019-11-17T06:38:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668787.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117041351-20191117065351-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.963043 | 806 | [

The natural environment forms the foundation upon which all human societies depend for their survival. This is not to say that nature determines the way people live within a particular natural setting. To the contrary, a people's culture, or their way of life, is determined by human ingenuity—what they have learned and are able to do. Much of human progress, in fact, has been marked by people learning to do things in environments that would suggest such activities were not possible.
What nature does is present an array of options to which a people must culturally adapt if they are to survive. The environment also presents options in terms of natural resources—things that people can use to their advantage. Finally, humans modify the environments in which they live in numerous ways, some good and others bad. Think for a moment about the area in which you live. How have humans culturally adapted to the environment? For example, is there artificial heating or cooling, farming or grazing of livestock, or the mining of resources? In what way are the natural elements—water, soil, vegetation, animal life, minerals, and so forth—used to human advantage? Finally, how has the natural environment in your area been changed by human activity? Hispaniola, of which the Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two-thirds, is a tropical island. (Tropical is defined solely on the basis of temperature. A tropical location is one in which the average temperature of the coolest month is above 64.4°F [18°C].) Here, temperatures change very little from season to season, and frost is unknown other than at the highest mountain elevations. Under natural conditions, vegetation consists of dense tropical rain forest or, in areas of seasonal precipitation, savanna grasslands with interspersed stands of palms and other drought-resistant trees. Because of large amounts of precipitation, surface water is plentiful and tropical soils are heavily leached (emptied) of nutrients by heavy rains and are generally poor. The exception is in those locations where soils are alluvial in origin; that is, the soil and its materials have been picked up and deposited over time by flowing water, as in a valley or on a coastal plain.
The environment of the Dominican Republic offers few serious challenges to human habitation. Weather is warm and moist; valley and coastal plain soils are adequate; woodlands abound in upland areas; there are some useful mineral resources; fresh water is abundant; and the island is surrounded by the sea and its bounty. These same conditions are what attracted the first settlers. On Hispaniola, man-made changes to the various natural elements have been damaging in many ways. In the Dominican Republic, however, the natural environment has not been devastated to the degree it has in Haiti. Still, its landscape shows the negative results of human activity, particularly in terms of deforestation, the widespread extinction of native fauna, and soil erosion.
Land features of the Dominican Republic can be described in three words: mountains, valleys, and plains. Approximately one-half of the country is upland terrain that supports little economic activity, few communities, and a low rural population density. Access is limited by few and poor transportation linkages. The great majority of human settlement, transportation networks, agriculture, manufacturing, and other economic activities are located in lowland valleys and plains. In mountainous areas, temperatures are cooler at high elevations, and in a tropical environment, uplands afford a healthier and more pleasant environment. In a poor country such as the Dominican Republic, however, little money is available to build costly roads to provide access to rugged mountainous areas. Therefore, only recently has the country been able to begin developing the tourist potential of its highlands.
The Dominican Republic has five major mountain ranges and several smaller upland areas that run in a general northwest to southeast direction. In the northwest, the Cordillera Septentrional (Northern Mountain Range) hugs the coast. It extends from near the Haitian border to the Samana Peninsula. To the east, the Cordillera Oriental (Eastern Mountain Range) also parallels the country's northeastern coast. Together, these mountains form a barrier to the prevailing northeast trade winds. As the winds blow upslope, they release much of their moisture on the windward side of the uplands. This condition contributes to lush tropical landscapes in many locations along the northern coast.
Inland, occupying the west central portion of the country, is the towering Cordillera Central (Central Mountain Range). These mountains form the backbone of Haiti and extend eastward into the Dominican Republic. Not only is the Cordillera Central the highest range in the Dominican Republic, but it is the highest in all the West Indies. Pico Duarte, at 10,417 feet (3,175 m), lies in the Cordillera Central range and is the highest island summit in the entire Caribbean region. Three other peaks in the range also reach a higher elevation than do any other mountains in the Caribbean. They are La Pelona (10,150 ft/3,094 m), La Rucilla (10,000 ft/3,049 m), and Pico Yaque (9,100 ft/2,760 m). The range is a major center of mining activity that includes nickel, iron, and gold production.
Two other mountain ranges are tucked away in the south-western corner of the Dominican Republic, south of the Cordillera Central and San Juan Valley. The Sierra de Neiba is the northernmost of the two ranges. To the south, across the Enriquillo Basin, is the Sierra de Bahoruco, which also extends eastward from Haiti. The Sierra de Bahoruco is largely uninhabited because of its inaccessibility. Roads skirt the mountains but do not cross the range. Because of their remoteness, the mountains have played an interesting historical role. After the arrival of Spaniards, ahados (rebellious Amerindians) sought refuge in their rugged terrain. Later, escaped slaves (tnaroons in English; cimarroties in Spanish) also found refuge in the mountainous region.
Valleys and Plains
Narrow valleys occupy the area lying between the various mountain ranges. The most important is the Cibao Valley, or “El Cibao,” which stretches between the northern and central mountain ranges. Here are the country's richest soils, most-productive agriculture, and second-largest city, Santiago. Between the Cordillera Central and Sierra de Neiba is the semiarid and less fertile San Juan Valley. Still farther south, between the Sierra de Neiba and Sierra de Bahoruco, is the Enriquillo Basin. This valley is unusual in several ways. First, much of it is below sea level. With an elevation of-151 feet (-46 m), it is the lowest spot in the entire Caribbean Basin. Second, it is one of the hottest, most arid, and most desertlike environments in the entire Caribbean region. Finally, Lake Enriquillo, which occupies the bottom of the depression, is the largest lake within the West Indies.
The largest plains area of the Dominican Republic, the Llano Costero del Caribe (Caribbean Coastal Plain) stretches along much of the south coast. Rural settlement is rather dense, and much of the region supports sugar plantations and savanna grasslands used for the grazing of cattle.
Other Land Features
Several islands lie off the Dominican coast. Saono Island faces Mona Passage off the southeastern tip of the country and is a national park. Smaller Beata Island lies off the southernmost tip of southwestern Dominican Republic. The country also has many splendid beaches, including pure white sands that are a tourist favorite.
WEATHER AND CLIMATE
First-time travelers to the Dominican Republic who expect to find the entire island a tropical paradise will be in for a surprise. Although the country is located in the tropical latitudes, roughly between 17 and 20 degrees north latitude its climate is surprisingly varied. The climate is tropical and sunny most of the time, but portions of the south coast are almost desertlike, making the air hot and sticky. In the mountains, temperatures are quite cool and pleasant—certainly colder than one would expect for a tropical isle.
Patterns and Conditions
Overall, the country experiences a seasonally wet-and-dry tropical climate. Temperatures change very little from month to month, but rainfall is sharply divided between rainy and dry seasons. Much of the time it is very muggy because of the high humidity, which makes the air feel warmer than it really is. Several factors account for weather patterns in the Dominican Republic and elsewhere in the Caribbean basin. Although the Dominican Republic is your typical tropical paradise, with lots of sun and very few clouds, the weather can be complicated at times based on location. Also, in the Caribbean, the seasons are marked by differences in rainfall rather than temperature.
As is true throughout the Caribbean region, precipitation is seasonal. The wet season occurs during the high sun season. During the low sun period, conditions are quite dry. May through October is the rainy season, with November through April being the driest period. On average, the country receives about 50 to 60 inches (127 to 152 centimeters) of rainfall annually. But in a mountainous land such as the Dominican Republic, “average” conditions mean little. On the windward (wind-facing) northeastern mountain slopes, more than 100 inches (2,500 mm) of rain fall annually in some locations. The moisture contributes to lush tropical vegetation and a tropical landscape that has not been disturbed by human settlement. On the rain-shadow (drier, downwind) side of the various mountain ranges, conditions are quite dry. Some locations, particularly along the country's southwestern border with Haiti, receive a scant 25 to 30 inches (63.5 to 76.2 cm) of rainfall each year.
Because of its insular (island) condition, extremely hot or cold temperatures do not occur in the Dominican Republic. The Caribbean is a region bathed by the almost constantly blowing northeast trade winds, which have a cooling effect identical to what happens when one is in front of a fan on a hot day. In terms of wind and precipitation, the Dominican Republic lies squarely in the path of tropical storms. Hurricanes are rather frequent and often violent as they sweep across the island.
Weather is the day-to-day condition of the atmosphere; it is what is happening in terms of temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind. For the country as a whole, the temperature averages around 77°F (25°C). In the lowland areas where nearly all Dominicans live, temperatures seldom rise above 90°F (32°C) or fall below 60°F (16°C). Only in the mountain towns does the temperature occasionally drop below freezing.
Conditions in the capital, Santo Domingo, are rather typical of the island's lowland seasonal temperature patterns. In July and August, the warmest months of the year, daytime highs average 88°F (31°C) and lows 73°F (23°C). During January, the coolest month, high and low temperatures average a still-balmy 84°F (29°C) and pleasant 66°F (19°C). It is often said that “nighttime is the winter of the tropics.” This is because, in the tropics, day-tonight changes in temperature are much greater than those from season to season. Surprisingly, although tropical, the Dominican Republic and much of the rest of the Caribbean is cooler and more pleasant during the summer months than roughly one-half of the United States's lower 48 states. What once was a winter vacation season is now virtually a year-round event.
PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE
Human activity has drastically changed the flora and fauna of Hispaniola. In fact, today it is difficult to know what prehuman conditions were like on the island. Certainly much of the natural vegetation is long gone, as is most native wildlife. And domestic animals far outnumber native wildlife both in variety and numbers.
An estimated one-third of the country is covered by forests, mostly in the mountainous areas. High mountain slopes support a dense forest composed primarily of pine trees. In the northeast, rainy windward slopes and lowlands support a dense growth of tropical rain forests with 27 different climate zones, resulting in an incredible variety of vegetation. There are several species of trees, such as mahogany, logwood, and lignum vitae (also called guayacan). In the interior, under natural conditions, tall savanna grasses and scattered clusters of palm trees thrive. Drier areas of the country, in the south and southwest, support semiarid savanna and dryland scrub.
Along the coast, tidal mudflats support dense stands of mangrove with its maze of stiltlike roots. Mangrove forms a distinctive and valuable coastal ecosystem. Because of its elevated and tightly enmeshed root system, mangrove protects the coastal zone from erosion. This is particularly important in a place like the Dominican Republic, which is prone to tropical storms and their resultant raging surf. The roots also provide a protective environment for many marine organisms. They include oysters, shrimp, and lobsters, fingerlings (young fish), and a host of other life forms such as algae, sponges, and barnacles. Many of the organisms that thrive within the mangrove roots form an important link in the coastal food chain.
Before humans arrived on Hispaniola, the island was home to abundant and rather varied wildlife. More than two dozen land mammals were native to the island, including monkeys, sloths, hutia (a large rodent), and the very strange Hispaniolan solenodon (a very large shrew). Few places in the world, however, have experienced a higher rate of land species extinction during the historic period. When people and wildlife are in conflict, it seems that humans always win. Of the original species, only the hutia and solenodon remain. There are, of course, many birds, insects, and both fresh- and saltwater species. The island also is home to several nonvenomous snakes and alligators that are found in some rivers. Most animals, however, were introduced by Europeans. They include domesticated dogs, cats, and pigs, as well as rats and mongooses, the latter having been brought from India.
There is one wild animal that deserves special mention. The weird Hispaniolan solenodon is one of the world's rarest and strangest living creatures. In appearance, the solenodon is quite small, about the size of a large rat. It has a stocky body, tapered claws, and a long snout somewhat resembling that of an anteater. But what makes it unusual is that although the solenodon is an insectivore, it is one of a very small number of venomous mammals. Venom is injected snakelike through grooved teeth. The shrewlike creature has endured for more than 75 million years, but scientists fear that it is now on the verge of extinction. The strange creature has all but disappeared from neighboring Haiti, but a small population continues to exist in the Dominican Republic. Efforts are now being made to ensure its survival.
Several dozen rivers drain the various Dominican uplands. The largest is the Yaque del Norte, which flows from east to west down the Cibao Valley and into Monte Cristi Bay in the country's northwest corner. Other important streams include the Yuna, Ozana, and Artibonito. Several dams provide hydroelectric power.
The country's largest inland water feature is Lake Enriquillo, a saltwater body that occupies the lowest part of the below-sea-level Enriquillo Basin. With dimensions of 9 to 12 miles (15 to 20 km) and covering an area of 102 square miles (265 sq km), Enriquillo is the largest lake in the West Indies. Other sizeable lakes include Laguna de Rincon (also called Cabral), the country's largest freshwater lagoon, and Laguna de Oviedo, a brackish lagoon. Both lagoons are located in national parks and both feature a variety of birds, including herons and flamingos, native turtles, and other wildlife.
Because the Dominican Republic lies in the middle of the Atlantic hurricane belt, June through November is a dangerous time for the citizens of the country. This is called hurricane season, and September is usually the most active month for hurricanes in the Caribbean. A hurricane is a tropical storm with winds in excess of 74 miles per hour (119 km per hour). In addition to damaging winds, such storms often are accompanied by torrential rains. Along coasts, storm surges—wind-pushed walls of water—can cause severe flooding and extensive damage to coastal structures and fields.
Due to these severe storms, the Dominican Republic experiences periodic flooding but also—at the opposite extreme — occasional droughts. These treacherous storms, which move in a generally east-to-west direction across the Atlantic, have struck the country on numerous occasions, often with devastating results. In May 2004, more than 20 inches (50.8 cm) of rain fell over a period of several days. Particularly heavy rainfall occurred in the southwestern mountainous region of the country. Several hundred people lost their lives as a result of flash flooding and mudslides. Crops and transportation infrastructure, such as bridges and roadways, were washed away. Along with death and destruction, hurricanes can bring economic ruin. In the Dominican Republic, much of the housing, particularly in rural areas, is quite flimsy. Structures are not able to withstand hurricane-force winds. Sugarcane and palm trees are extremely vulnerable to high winds and are easily destroyed. Storm-related flooding causes extensive damage, as do mudslides that can destroy buildings, roadways, and fields. Several storms in particular have devastated the Dominican Republic.
In 1930, the island of Hispaniola was struck by one of the most deadly hurricanes on record. Hurricane San Zenon hit the Dominican Republic with winds of up to 150 miles per hour (240 km per hr). More than 8,000 people lost their lives, including some 2,000 fatalities in Santo Domingo alone. About half of the capital city was destroyed. Many decades later, this violent storm still ranks as the fifth deadliest ever to strike the Caribbean.
Hurricane David struck the country with incredible force in 1979. Winds were clocked at 175 mph (280 km per hr), which made David a rare Category 5 hurricane. Nearly 1,000 lives were lost in the Dominican Republic and 70 percent of the country's crops were wiped out by the storm's fury. In 1998, Hurricane Georges raked the Caribbean and made a direct hit on the Dominican Republic. The storm's toll was extraordinary. Winds exceeded 120 miles per hour (195 km per hr) at times, and up to 40 inches (101.6 cm) of rain fell on portions of the country. Rivers overflowed their banks, flooding many cities, rural homes, and fields. When the storm passed, 438 people were confirmed dead or missing; 500,000 Dominicans were injured; and more than 155,000 people were left homeless, including 10 percent of the population of Santo Domingo. Trees were snapped or uprooted, and power lines were down, resulting in a complete power blackout throughout the country. Mudslides covered miles of roadway, and 70 percent of the country's bridges were destroyed, resulting in a massive loss of the country's transportation infrastructure. Some mountain communities were cut off from the outside world for weeks. Ninety percent of all plantations were destroyed, and the crop loss ran well over 50 percent. Some estimates placed the direct economic loss to the island at more than $6 billion. The long-term losses, such as those from a huge drop in tourist revenue, were much greater.
A TROPICAL PARADISE
Generally speaking, the natural environment poses few obstacles and offers numerous opportunities to the people of the Dominican Republic. The terrain offers many developmental options, ranging from good farmland to cool, mountainous landscapes. The coastal zone, with sun, sand, and surf, is appealing. Because the country is on the margin of the tropics, neither temperatures nor precipitation are extreme. The developmental problems that the Dominicans have faced are more the result of human failure than of environmental challenges or limitations. | <urn:uuid:f0bb07bf-fff3-4dce-80ba-5f017fd77c79> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://geography.name/physical-landscapes/ | 2019-11-18T16:11:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669809.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118154801-20191118182801-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.957605 | 4,209 | [

It was as if my life began the moment she gasped her first breath and it was not; it was the moment my life began anew—my life as a mother. This new life was supposed to be my smooth paved roadway fresh and free from debris—the one I merged back onto after the bumpy detours and construction of the past. But, fate and the universe have plans of their own. Instead, as our family drew our first breaths of air together our caravan careened off-road and entered an equally bumpy, detour filled journey with no maps, no GPS, and no intention of ever returning to the well-traveled, smooth-paved roadway the typical travelers sojourn.
My tumultuous past is visibly mapped out in faint white juts that jaunt across the olive skin of my arms and traverse into deep sinewy canyons; they are detours that innocent little fingers have always known and lovingly traced as they soothed themselves to sleep. Disconnected from and ashamed of such a burdensome history and its physical manifestations, I hoped to leave it all behind when those innocent beings entered my world.
The canyons healed long before we drew those breaths together and the map of my past rarely crossed the junket of my mind until the hot rays of the summer sun shed the layers of concealing sleeve above and revealed the delineations below, and deepened the hue of the surrounding skin and divulged my Mediterranean descent.
Recently the topography was more present; my map was mentioned and questioned by those not as kind and innocent as my tribe. I felt thrown asunder. How many noticed and what did they think about it? Did they think it undermined my ability to navigate the rocky roads of our current journey? Because, I certainly started to fear that myself.
I began to have a deep desire to erase the pox-marked skin of my arms, to eradicate the troublesome nature of my past, and pretend that my life began somewhere on my more recent track; but, I could do that no more than I could miraculously heal my daughter’s rare disease, right our off-road travels, and soften our bumpy trail. Confidence eroded from under me like soil washed from a mud packed path under the stress of a traversing vehicle.
In the growing shadows of the late evening my son ran his fingers across the deep crevasse vertically demarcated in my inner elbow and my mind traced back into the shadows of my past. He lovingly soothed himself as he always had on “Mommy’s tickling spot,” and gently stroked as he let the bumps and bruises gained during the travels of his day melt away in my loving embrace. I held the juxtaposition of past and present. How very similar and very different the constant crisis, arduous and pain-filled days. In that moment, as our breathing slowed and synced I also held the resilience, the great love, and the courage.
I realized all the light to match the dark—the yin to the yang—that helped me survive the hard course of my past—all that I learned—prepared me for riding through the chaos of the present. I breathed with him bolstered by a new confidence. It mattered not the thoughts of others but the knowledge of my soul.
The factors of my resilience pulled me from the precipice and aided me along my way in the past, and, because, I exercised them, out of necessity, I know them intimately and impart them intuitively to my children. I emanate them as our breathing syncs and they trace the pathways of my love; they take from it all the deep devotion, boundless resilience, passion, advocacy, respect, and kindness they need along the way. | <urn:uuid:70fe1c42-5b1d-4ccc-9062-021d4931b55f> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://onjoyandsorrow.com/2018/08/03/mental-health-history-and-raising-special-needs-children/ | 2019-11-18T16:45:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669809.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118154801-20191118182801-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.971255 | 775 | [

Self-Publishing Mastery (FREE ENTRY!!!)
Learn how to write, create, and sell books. Make writing your living.
Self-Publishing Mastery covers absolutely EVERYTHING involved in becoming a successful self-published author. All lessons are taught by multi-time bestselling author, Iain Rob Wright, who is widely respected in the world of self-publishing and dedicated to sharing knowledge amongst authors. No course available contains so much content for such a small fee. This course will make you a self-publishing warrior that others turn to for advice. And best of all, entry is absolutely FREE!!!
My name is Iain Rob Wright and I am a self-published author.
I have been a full time writer for over six years now, topping the Amazon sales charts on a number of occasions and earning more money than I ever thought possible - and by doing something that I love. I am not the world's best writer, nor do I have a business background, but what I do have is passion and a commitment to succeed and provide for my family. The last five years have taught me A LOT! If you want to earn $100k a year and be a Kindle All-Star like me, then keep on reading.
Achieving my dreams of a writing career has not been easy, but today I enjoy the heady position of being a bestseller, having reached the number 1 ranking in Horror several times and getting several of my books in the Top 100 on many occasions. My massive sales have made me a Kindle All-Star and swelled my mailing list well into the thousands. Every year my sales increase and my job security improves. I'm beginning to think I might just get to grow old doing this. Or maybe even make a million dollars!
Now that I have achieved my goals, I want to give back. I want to teach the many things I have learned over the last five years so that many more authors can attain their dreams of writing full time. By following my advice, you can avoid my mistakes and emulate my successes. Learn to work smart by seeing the strategies that truly help you sell more books and gain fans, while avoiding the ones that don't (like posting on Facebook).
The A-Z of Self-Publishing will show you everything you need to know, step-by-step, from the first stages of writing your manuscript, right through to creating ebook files, publishing audio books, setting up a killer website, and advertising on Facebook and Amazon. Over 50 Lessons in total and hours and hours of high-quality video tutorials. I go through it all in slow, easy to follow language while showing you on screen exactly what I am doing. Each unit is also packed with downloadable extras and discounts for popular programs such as Scrivener and Pro Writing Aid.
Do you want to quit your day job and write?
It's tough. Really tough! But it's possible. How do I know this? Because I used to sell phones for a living (and a pretty poor living at that), but gave it all up to sell books instead. Since May 2011 I have been making a living with my stories and haven't had to work for anybody else since. It's amazing.
So that gives me several years experience about what works and what doesn't. It's well known in the industry that I do a lot to help other authors, and always have, but as I have grown as an author and business person, it has become increasingly difficult to offer my time on an individual basis to so many. That's why I designed this course. It allows me to share all that I know, while reserving my help for those who are really serious about making writing their living.
Is that you? If it is, then come join me. I can't wait to help you change your life for the better.
Who will benefit from this course?
- New authors wanting to write a book and sell it
- Current self-publishers who want to increase sales
- Traditionally published authors wanting to self-publish their back catalogue

You'll also become a member of a private Facebook group open only to fellow students, myself, and other professionals available to give one-to-one advice. I will personally resolve to pay special attention to helping and answering any student within the group, and the learning will continue long into the future as we all discover and share new tips, tricks, and strategies with each other. You will become a permanent part of the A-Z of Self-Publishing project and a personal colleague of myself and many others.
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” - Benjamin Franklin
Joining the course also ensures you get unrestricted access to all and future updates. If I learn something new, I will add it to the course. My future knowledge will be your future knowledge, and I for one am still eager to grow and improve.
So, why is this course so important to you?
- It will show you all the tactics that work (and the ones that don't)
Learn why shouting about your book on Facebook is such a waste of time, and why advertising instead can kickstart your sales.
- Learn all the stuff most other authors aren't doing
Most authors think writing a book and releasing it is all they need to do. I will teach you all the secrets that only the smartest guys know about. I will show you how to easily and smartly grow a mailing list full of avid readers. I will show you how to set up and run a website, with all the free tools, bells, and whistles that will make readers take notice. Want to learn how to create beautiful ebooks with dropcaps and images? Easy peasy when you know the secrets. This course will put you head and shoulders above the competition.
- A-Z of Self-Publishing will pay for itself
Even if you ignore the massive discounts on artwork, editing, and programs such as Scrivener and ProWritingAid, you will more than earn your money back in time saved and sales gained. The purpose of this course is to help you earn enough to quit your day job, so making back the modest entry fee will be a doddle. You have nothing to lose. Guaranteed!
So decision time. Do you want in? I promise that what you will find inside this course will help you, no matter what your current ability or career progression. These are lessons that incorporate things I have discovered myself, but also many things shared with me by colleagues. It is a collection of knowledge from people who are already out there doing it--making a living by writing books. It is possible if you do things the right way. This course will show you how.
This is life, so I can't guarantee what your future success will be, but you should decide right now how serious you are about being a writer. Writing is a business if you want to make money, and to make money you need to spend money. It used to scare me too, spending money I didn't have, but after all the courses I have myself taken, and all the tools I have purchased, I have come to realise that these things more than pay for themselves over time. This course is an investment in your future, and in your growing business. And all it costs is your time!
NO RISK: NOTHING TO LOSE!
"Iain Rob Wright has a solid background in marketing and sales, and just happens to write fine horror novels that sell by the bucketload. There are few people better placed to help new and experienced writers successfully navigate the minefield of independent publishing."

He's one of the good guys and is additionally equipped with the experience, knowledge and skill-sets that are essential to authors who go it alone, be they self-publishers, or traditionally published authors who are becoming hybrid-authors. I've always found Iain to be professional, generous and incredibly helpful. I could not have produced my first eBook without his help."
- Adam Nevil, Award-Winning Author

Both the Echo PB-580T model and the Husqvarna 150BT are known in the world of leaf blowers for being some of the best tools to own and this is for good reason. It is also for good reason that they have their advantages and disadvantages meaning one wins when they’re compared. Choosing the perfect leaf blower is a difficult decision and it can often depend on the person who is purchasing it, what their needs are, and how often they’re going to use it. If you’re looking to keep within a smaller budget but still purchase a powerful machine that will last a long time, then the Husqvarna 150BT model is your best option. However, if you want a more premium choice that is perfect for professionals and provides a perfectly performing blower then the Echo PB-580T model might be more something you want to look at. The Husqvarna 150BT model almost completely beats the Echo model in all aspects but mainly due to the price and quality of the product. Whilst they have a huge difference in price, their quality is almost the same. This means you could get the same end result but save yourself money in the meantime.
Husqvarna is naturally the more popular model to choose as they are more widely known for budget but good quality tools and this is something that resonates with a lot of customers and is the reason that so many reviewers show their love for the brand. Whilst Echo is still a good quality brand, they’re often seen as very premium and therefore unaffordable to many people. The real question is, which out of these two models is the best suit for you? They’re both great quality and whilst they vary in price, they have different features to offer which is important to remember when you’re considering which one to purchase.
In terms of performance, the general consensus amongst reviewers is that they do what they’re meant too. However, there is a difference between the airspeed and flow of the Echo and Husqvarna models. Whilst the Echo-580T model has an airspeed of 215 MPH the Husqvarna blows it out of the water with an airspeed of 250MPH. Therefore, meaning that naturally, the performance of the Husqvarna might not be better as it still works, but it is definitely more powerful and will perhaps do the job you’re aiming too quicker than the Echo model as the air speed is just significantly less.
Having a leaf blower that performs well is an essential, especially if you’re paying good money for the product – you want to make sure you’re getting your monies worth. In addition to these performance differences, the Husqvarna model has an X-Torq engine which is designed to reduce the harmful emissions released into the air whilst still having increased power and a more positive fuel economy level. For this reason, when it comes to performance, we have to recommend that the Husqvarna wins.
As we stated before, the Husqvarna is significantly less expensive than the Echo model, whilst they are both similar quality we would say that anyone who is on a budget should definitely opt for the Husqvarna model. However, even if you’re not on a budget you may want to still opt for the cheaper option as it is just as good in terms of performance but will save you money. Echo is the premium choice here, and the price tag reflects this. We would say that it is all down to the individual when it comes to price, how much you want to spend is a key part of the purchasing process.
Unlike any Husqvarna products, the Echo-580T model comes with 5 years warranty and whilst this doesn’t directly link to the durability of the model itself. It does mean that you have a guaranteed contract with Echo for 5 years which can cover you if something happens to your leaf blower. This is important as you don’t want to be paying out a huge amount or having to buy a new leaf blower all because of a technical or manufacturing mistake on the brand’s side.
Other than this, the Husqvarna and Echo models are more or less very similar on the durability side of things. The Husqvarna is a lot more versatile and ideal for professionals or those who are looking into the profession whereas the Echo is more for home and domestic use.
Both models are cordless which is always the best option for leaf blowers and they have similar colors designed onto them. However, they have different features incorporated which means that they look different from the outside and the comfort of the bags are different too. Whilst the Husqvarna model has a padded back with comforting straps that contour to your body shape and allow for a relaxed leaf blowing experience, this is a huge element that the Echo lacks. The more comfortably designed the backpack blower is, the more likely you are to wear it for hours and not have any issues.
Whilst there aren’t many performance or design differences between the two models, it is evident that customers and users of these leaf blowers have a leaning preference towards the Husqvarna 150BT model and with good reason. It is less expensive than the Echo PB-580T model, and it does everything that it does too meaning it is the more logical choice to choose. It appeals to both the beginner and the experienced professional as it performs well and doesn’t lack great extra features either! With this in mind, the Echo PB-580T could appeal to more commercial uses as it is a more premium brand and also has a better durability as well as a longer warranty.

“Smart Drugs” is a name known for Nootropics. They are well-known to enhance focus, attention spans and aid for studying. The term “Smart Drugs” or Nootropics are getting more and more popular than ever before. But, many people still do not understand what is Nootropics.
Nootropics offer a wide range of cognitive benefits. But, have you ever wondered what are they? How do they work? What could you expect if you have taken it? Etc… These “Smart Drugs” can provide cognitive benefits to your brain. Let us discuss them below.
These chemicals are either man-made compounds or natural substances. They all offer a wide range of cognitive benefits to your brain. The term ‘Nootropic’ was first defined by Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea in 1972 with a set of 5 criteria. These criteria determine if a chemical can be a Nootropics. For each substance should have the following criteria:-
1) Enhances learning and memory.
2) Increases the efficacy of tonic control mechanisms.
(cortical/subcortical regions of the brain).
3) Lacks the usual stimulant or sedative effect.
It should have few side effects. And low toxicity.
4) Protect the brain from physical or chemical assaults.
These assaults are (eg. barbiturates. Anticholinergic drugs).
5) Enhances the resistance of the brain function under disruptive conditions. Such conditions are (eg. Electroconvulsive shock. Hypoxia, or low oxygen levels).
From the above criteria, you can see for a substance to classify as Nootropics. It requires to be able to meet a set of rigorous standards. That is why some people refer Nootropics. Not just as a “Smart Drugs”. It is a “Miracle Drugs”. Because only a selected handful of substances can actually be true Nootropics.
How do Nootropics Work With the Brain?
A Romanian doctor, Dr. Giurgea, was first discovered Nootropic after synthesizing piracetam. It is still one of the most popular Nootropics on the market today. The word Nootropic make up with the Greek word of ‘noos’ means ‘mind’. And ‘tropos’ in Greek word means ‘to turn towards’. The word Nootropic means ‘Towards the Mind’.
Since the first discovery of Nootropics. Seven substances have classified as Nootropics / “Smart Drugs” in regular usages. As everyone has its own neurochemistry. The effect will not be the same for different people.
For some users, the effect of using Nootropic is not instant for them. It cannot improve their intellect or boost their IQ. Yet, Nootropics does boost brain function. The signaling of and production of several vital neurotransmitters have increased.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals. They acted as messengers to communicate between neurons in your brain. By enhancing signaling and raising production of neurotransmitters. Nootropics have increased the efficiency of the signals working in your brain. The result of the above has brought us benefits such as much longer periods of focus. Improved concentration. Better memory. Greater mental processing capacities and better moods.
Periodical use of Nootropics can bring benefits
Nootropics create improvements by altering the function of your brain. To be specific, the synaptic plasticity of neurons will improve. From a long-term perspective, the cognitive function and capacities will improve too.
Some Nootropics can slow down the aging process. They prevent damage to the brain by stimulating the growth of neurites and neurons. Also, both older individuals and students have proven benefits from Nootropics.
Acceptance of “Smart Drugs”
In our society today. Taking certain supplements or chemicals such as “Smart Drugs” can see as taboo. Especially when these are not the mainstream of the society. Yet, Nootropics have gotten more and more accepted in our society. For the long term effects on People ‘s cognitive health. There are no side effects are just irresistible to ignore.
As you are getting more knowledge about Nootropics. You are able to select the right type for your own specific needs. These “Smart Drugs” can bring cognitive benefits to your brain. Once you start using Nootropics. You will understand why you have made a smart investment for your own future. | <urn:uuid:cc92f8bc-35d8-4124-9370-e6b48c50da16> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://mycarepharmacy.com/smart-drugs/ | 2019-11-15T02:00:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668561.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20191115015509-20191115043509-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.933625 | 980 | [

Fortnite v9.30 update is here, and this one brings a tonne of new elements to the Battle Royale mode. The most notable addition is Chug Splash, a new item that will help players heal their teammates by throwing the health potion containers at them. Interestingly, it can also heal enemies if they fall in Chug Splash's activity radius. Sniper shootout duos and three-person squad battles called Trios have made their way via the LTM (Limited Time Mode) route. Fortnite Creative and Save The World mode also get a host of new items with the v9.30 update.
The most notable addition to the Fortnite Battle Royale mode comes in the form of Chug Splash, a health potion that can be used to heal other players or teammates in a match. Unlike other regenerative items like bandages, which are used to heal oneself, the Chug Splash cylinders can be thrown at teammates to help recover their health.
All players, both friends and foes, will get 20 health points if they are in splash radius. And in case their health is full, an equal number of shield points will be awarded. Chug Splash can be found in stacks of two cylinders from Floor Loot, Chests, Vending Machines, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
Just like the majority of Fortnite updates, weapon characteristics have been changed with the v9.30 update as well. The damage dealt by Combat Shotgun at long and medium distance has been reduced, while Boom Pow, Dual Pistols, and Dynamite have been vaulted. Solid Gold Squads, Trios (three-person battle royale mode), and Sniper Shootout Duos make their debut as LTM content in Fortnite Battle Royale.
A new Prop-O-Matic element has been added to Fortnite Creative, allowing players to transform into a prop to hide from opponents and also create their own prop discovery game. Wasteland and Caldera Island are two new islands that have arrived with Fortnite V9.30 update, alongside new game settings for tweaking outdoor lighting and fog.
The patch notes also mention the arrival of a new Storm Shield Endurance mode in Fortnite Save The World, alongside Chromium Ramirez and Diecast Jonesy (also known as Chrome Commandos) who have returned to the event store. | <urn:uuid:4e49606e-f36a-42d9-b5b6-e1f9b4827e5e> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/fortnite-v9-30-update-chug-splash-battle-royale-creative-endurance-mode-2055332 | 2019-11-15T02:50:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668561.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20191115015509-20191115043509-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.95055 | 478 | [

For far too long, there has been the established fact that, in the mass media, older people are most likely to be invisible, or negatively stereotyped. But if the last few weeks are any indication, that tide may be turning, in both ways. To my delight, and keeping to the oceanic metaphor, there has been a wave of features about a rich variety of older people, in various media, and it’s worth listing those features and their sources, both to show how much older people rock and – in most of them – to enable any readers who might be interested and hasn’t already seen them, to track them down so that you can enjoy their stories for yourselves.
To start with, there is the ABC’s Conversation radio program, which dedicated the week of 23-27 September to older people, in the following interviews:
- “Secret of the native hibiscus: western science meets Indigenous knowledge: with botanist and Dharawal elder Fran Bodkin, who uses western science to explain up to 80,000 years of Australian Indigenous plant knowledge”;
- “RAF pilot Frank Dell’s story of survival in Nazi occupied Holland: in October 1944 Frank’s De Havilland Mosquito was shot out of the sky and he parachuted into Nazi territory”;
- “A vibrant life Kath Venn at 84: the late Kath Venn was a powerhouse of community spirit. After serving in Tasmania’s parliament, she was State President of the Housewives Association, a marriage celebrant and much else besides”;
- “The evolution of Charlie Veron, the Great Barrier Reef’s first scientist: school was nearly the undoing of the intensely curious child who went on to discover nearly a quarter of the world’s coral species, and be awarded the Darwin Medal”;
- “A friendship and a giant literary hoax: Alison Hoddinott and Gwen Harwood were great friends with a shared love of English, family, and thumbing their noses at convention”.
Then, in Melbourne, there was The Age’s Spectrum, of 12 October, which had five excellent and very positive articles (including the cover story), over 10 pages (out of 40), featuring people in their 70s:
- Dame Lynley Dodd (British), 78 years old: a full two-page interview with this author and illustrator, best known for her Hairy Maclary books, and in the context of her work being featured currently in The Lynley Dodd Story at the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum;
- John Waters (American), 73 years old: on the cover, plus a full two page account of his career as film maker, writer and writer, in the context of his performance in John Waters’ Make Trouble, at the Melbourne Arts Centre, to coincide with the release of his ninth book, Mr. Know-It-All, The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder;
- Margaret Atwood (British), 79 years old: the more prominent partial two-page feature, in which she is the lead personality, with her photo accompanying it, in an article about the then forthcoming Booker Prize, which she later co-won for her book, The Testaments;
- Peter Temple (Australian), who died last year, at the age of 71, while in the midst of writing a book: a one full page review of a publication including that partial book plus other essays and writings of his – very favourably written by celebrity fellow crime writer, (58-year-old) Michael Robotham;
- The Weekend: a very favourably reviewed novel (the main feature over two pages) about three 70something female friends who are all “functional and independent and full of passionate feeling about many things”, written by (54-year-old Australian) Charlotte Wood.
Currently, we have the November issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly, which kicked off the topic in praise of older people in the media by including in its letter section one from A Lansdowne of Maylands, who was delighted with the article in the previous issue, featuring the “bone fide legend”, 83-year-old Valerie Taylor, who has just written her memoir. She concluded her letter by saying “thanks for continuing to feature inspiring older women who challenge society’s ageist mentality.”
And to show that that is indeed a continuing theme in this magazine, the November edition followed that up with several major feature stories about older people (and so, not only women) in various contexts. They are as follows:
- Kerri-Anne Kennerley (64 years old): on living with loss and grief. She also makes a passionate statement about ageism in health funding, on the basis of her husband having been deemed “too old” at 65, to receive the full NDIS care package;
- Nell and David Brooks (70s): life in the outback as Birdsville cattle farmers;
- Billy Connolly (76 years old): comedian, on forgiveness, and his new book while living with Parkinson’s;
- Deborah Hutton (57 years old): media personality, on friendship;
- A feature on innovative ways of retirement living/housing;
- A beauty feature on styling grey hair, using realistically ageing models;
- Maggie Beer (74 years old): recipe feature.
There is also the regular one-page column (maintained over the past 30 years), of humorous columnist, Pat McDermott (in her 70s). And there is a graphic article about elder abuse, centred around the last years – in his 90s – of Marvel Comic creator, Stan Lee.
All up, very good reading, and we can all take a leaf out of A Lansdowne’s book, and vocally encourage those media which are promoting older people, to keep it up in the interests of a combination of illuminating entertainment and a spotlight on issues of concern to the ageing, as well as a more representative picture of our current population demographics.

Several years before becoming my client, statistician Arlene Swern had traveled on vacation to New England with her husband. Stopping in Newport, Rhode Island, the two of them naturally visited the Touro Synagogue. Marveling its magnificent architecture, they mused on its history and significance.
One of the most famous landmarks in the city, the Touro Synagogue is the oldest surviving synagogue building in the entire United States. Constructed in 1763, it is the only surviving synagogue structure in the U.S. that predates American independence. Its congregation was famously honored by none other than George Washington, who was warmly welcomed there during his presidency.
The congregation of the Touro Synagogue was the recipient of one of the first American president’s most famous written correspondences. In a famed letter, Washington wrote:
It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support...
May the children of the stock of Abraham who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants—while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid.
More than just a friendly letter, Washington’s address to the Jewish community of Newport stands as one of the defining moments in the American history. In it, he sets out his vision of First Amendment rights guaranteeing freedom of religion in the United States. More than two hundred years later, the edifice stands a historic landmark, pilgrimage site, and active synagogue.
When Arlene visited the building in 2005, she certainly found it very interesting and enjoyable. The building’s history, its significance to the Jewish people, and the universal values of freedom and toleration it represents spoke to both her and her husband deeply. Yet she could not have known that that she in fact had a deeper, more personal connection to this building and its history.
Digging into Family History
When I began researching for Arlene last year, I was able to trace her grandfather Simon Borodkin from Uzda, a small town in current-day Belarus, to Minsk and New York. He was a rabbi, and seems to have attended rabbinical school in Minsk. He arrived in the United States in 1911.
When conducting newspaper and other historical research about him, I was able to trace some details about his career. He had one of his first pulpits in a synagogue in Peekskill, New York, today a picturesque suburban town about fifty miles north of Manhattan.
After settling in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn sometime in the late 1910s or early 1920s, Rabbi Borodkin became a scholar of some renown, traveling extensively to lecture and teach. By the mid-1920s he was described as “noted Talmudic scholar and Jewish speaker.” In 1925 he gave a lecture in Philadelphia at the Aitz Chaim Synagogue, on the northwestern side of the city in Strawberry Mansion, one of Philadelphia’s foremost Jewish neighborhoods between the two world wars. The building where he lectured, now known as Faith Temple, survives to the present-day. By the 1940s, Rabbi Borodkin was serving on the New York Board of Rabbis.
Linking Past with Present
During the course of my research, I came upon a fascinating article from 1916. From this article I learned that prior to his post in Peekskill, Arlene’s grandfather had been engaged as a Hebrew school teacher in Newport, Rhode Island. Not only that, but it turns out that he gave a lecture at the famous, historic Touro Synagogue on Friday, March 3, 1916. According to the article, his lecture was titled, “The Duty of the American Jews.”
When I shared the article with Arlene, she was astonished. She never could have imagined that when she had visited the synagogue as a tourist, she was visiting a place that had touched her own past so personally. In her own words, “I knew that my grandfather was an orthodox rabbi. But, he had died before I was born and I did not know much more about his achievements as a rabbi. Dr. Grayson found actual newspaper clippings advertising his speeches. When Dr. Grayson discovering that he was a featured speaker at the famous Touro synagogue in Rhode Island, and was described as Jewish speaker and a renowned Talmudic scholar, I felt a great pride and excitement!" | <urn:uuid:9bf413c8-4784-47eb-8c96-9f2102b5e9a3> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://blog.lostrootsfamilyhistory.com/Simon-Borodkin | 2019-11-17T08:38:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668896.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117064703-20191117092703-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.985977 | 979 | [

Cape Town City and Ajax Cape Town will renew hostilities in an Absa Premiership derby at Cape Town Stadium on 20 January 2018, kick-off at 15h30.
City saw a three-game winning streak cut short when they suffered a 1-0 loss away to Free State Stars on January 13. It was their first loss since a 4-2 ‘home’ defeat at the hands of Maritzburg United in early December - that match was played in KwaZulu-Natal due to a lack of available venues in the Western Cape at the time.
The Citizens have claimed 13 points from eight home matches this season. Their last turn as hosts saw them claim a 1-0 win over AmaZulu on December 15 thanks to a late goal from midfielder Roland Putsche.
Ajax broke a three-game losing streak by defeating Platinum Stars 3-1 at home on January 12, with goals from Tercious Malepe, Tashreeq Morris and Tendai Ndoro. The Cape Town side has won just two of their last nine league matches and conceded 10 goals in the process.
The Urban Warriors have claimed just two points from eight away matches this season. They have yet to win a match on the road in the 2017/18 campaign, and have scored just two goals in their eight matches.
In head-to-head stats, City and Ajax have met in three league matches since the 2016/17 season. The Citizens boast a perfect record in the sequence, having claimed victory on all three occasions in which the teams have crossed swords.
Their meeting earlier this season saw City claim a 2-0 away win thanks to goals from Victor Obinna and Judas Moseamedi. The Citizens will hope they do not go on to lose their next two matches in succession, as happened following their late-September win over their derby rivals.
City’s line-up from their 1-0 loss to Free State Stars on January 13: Stephens, Kobola (Mngonyama 46’), Johannes, Fielies (Moseamedi 69’), Edmilson, Putsche, Nodada, Lakay, Martin (Ralani 46’), Masina, Obinna.
Ajax’s line-up from their 3-1 win over Platinum Stars on January 12: Petersen, Lebusa, Booysen, Nhlapo, Kammies, Takwara, Malepe, Julies, Lakay (Mdabuka 46'), Morris (Phohlongo 88'), Ndoro (Thabotha 90+2'). | <urn:uuid:bc959a67-8642-44ff-ba98-16991cc547ae> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://africanfootball.com/news/740049/City-Ajax-set-for-Cape-Town-derby-showdown | 2019-11-17T08:05:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668896.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117064703-20191117092703-00475.warc.gz | en | 0.961754 | 615 | [

These were from an amazing crop of marmande tomatoes produced in the heat of 2018. They were huge, very irregular shapes and so tasty. I decided these monsters needed a rough approach to convey their character, so painted them with a palette knife. Perfect picture for a kitchen or eating area.

STEVE KARLEN, Director of North American Outreach, for 40 Days for Life will be flying in from Wisconsin, to speak at our Midpoint Rally, on Saturday, February 27, at 3 pm outside of Planned Parenthood, 3100 Professional Drive in Ann Arbor.
Please join us and hear his inspiring message! Steve has always been pro-life, but, like many people, he never really did anything about it. All of that changed when his wife found out that a friend was pregnant and planning to have an abortion. Steve and his wife rushed to her aid—an experience that moved them so deeply that they got involved in the pro-life movement by volunteering for their local 40 Days for Life effort. Just months later, Steve found himself at the center of a nationwide controversy as he helped lead an effort to prevent the University of Wisconsin from opening a late-term abortion center. Steve responded courageously, working through the media and organizing thousands of volunteers.
Steve went on to incorporate a local pro-life organization and was then quickly asked to serve as a leader on the state, national, then international level. Steve has shared his message in 35 states, Washington, DC, four Canadian provinces, and Mexico City. He and his work have been featured on American Family Radio, EWTN, the Christian Broadcasting Network, NBC, CBS and Fox affiliates, as well as numerous newspapers and radio stations. Steve lives in Madison, Wisconsin with his wife Laura and his children, Peter, John Paul, and Teresa. | <urn:uuid:d26b3bd2-be4c-497a-a028-50387b32a5f7> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://downriveractivism.com/2016/02/20/steve-karlen-to-speak-at-40-days-for-life-ann-arbor-midpoint-rally-saturday-february-27th-at-300-pm/ | 2019-11-21T22:40:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670987.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121204227-20191121232227-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.985204 | 308 | [

Sometimes when you lose one or more teeth, you can get an indentation in your gums and jawbone where the tooth used to be. This happens because the jawbone recedes when it no longer is holding a tooth in place,
Not only is this indentation unnatural looking, it also causes the replacement tooth to look too long compared to the adjacent teeth. Dr. Goteiner can fill these "defects" with a procedure called ridge augmentation. We can recapture the natural contour and color of your gums and jaw. When the new tooth is created it will be natural looking, easier to clean and beautiful.
Call to schedule a smile consultation. After evaluation of your smile we can provide you a range of treatments available to achieve the look you want that is both beautiful and long lasting. | <urn:uuid:bf6d2114-afaf-46c5-9f86-18caaf6c07ec> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.artofperio.com/solutions-ridge_augmentation.html | 2019-11-13T20:32:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667333.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113191653-20191113215653-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.92963 | 166 | [

Although email has made the task of communicating with friends and family much easier, there are still many occasions where you will need to send a letter the old-fashioned way. For example, even if you're extremely tech-savvy it's still considered poor taste to email your wedding invitation!
To make sure your mail arrives at the correct destination, you'll need to use the appropriate United States post office abbreviations.
These official state abbreviations have all been standardized by the United States Postal Service. State abbreviations are all two letters, and these two letters are always capitalized without any periods. So, New Hampshire is shortened as NH and not as N.H. with periods after each letter. Similarly, Alabama is AL (and not Al). Here is a list of all 50 state abbreviations:
Outside of the 50 main states in the Union, the United States has several territories in different parts of the world too. These territories may not be official states, but they still adhere to the same official formula of two capital letters for their official abbreviations.
In addition to the postal abbreviations listed above, the states in the United States can also be shortened with a system typically called "traditional" abbreviations. Most, if not all of these predate the official postal system and they continue to be used in newspaper stories, academic articles, and other formal writing contexts.
Be sure to check the official style guide that applies to your writing -- like MLA Style, AP Style, or Chicago Manual of Style -- for additional rules and guidelines for writing about states and other locations.
Note that with the traditional state abbreviations, the first letter is capitalized, subsequent letters are lower-case (unless they're abbreviating a new word), and each abbreviation (where the name is not written out in full) ends in a period.
Additional address abbreviations can be found on the United States Postal Service website. You'll also find a variety of other useful information there in regards to sending letters and parcels through the mail. | <urn:uuid:7bbcc62a-fa6d-4c35-92ae-4fdbdb36f6fd> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://abbreviations.yourdictionary.com/articles/state-abbrev.html | 2019-11-17T13:09:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668954.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117115233-20191117143233-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.942513 | 411 | [

Orange County Fire Rescue Graduates Recruit Class, Recognizes Promoted Personnel And Honors Citizens With Lifesaving Awards
Orange County Fire Rescue will welcome its newest firefighters and paramedics from Recruit Class #78 and recognize newly promoted personnel on Friday, Oct. 20, 2017, at Full Sail Live. The list of promotions includes Battalion Chiefs, field personnel, administrative staff and personnel from the Office of the Fire Marshal. The ceremony will also include a special recognition section to honor crew members for their exceptional efforts during a challenging call earlier this year.
During the ceremony, the recruits from Class #78 will be formally sworn in before their families and friends. Recruit Class #78 took their oath on September 7, 2017, just before impending Hurricane Irma, to serve the citizens of Orange County before, during and after the storm.
Orange County Fire Rescue will also honor a teen with a Citizen Lifesaving Award for recognizing the signs of a heart attack when her grandfather went into distress in April of 2017. Another individual will also receive a Citizen Lifesaving Award for his quick actions to gain access to a moving vehicle, averting a head-on collision after he witnessed a woman drift into oncoming traffic as she suffered from a medical episode while driving.
District 5 Commissioner Pete Clarke will also be in attendance and address the audience.

Fayetteville-based restaurant chain Slim Chickens announced Wednesday (July 17) an equity investment from 10 Point Capital, an Atlanta-based private equity firm. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The investment is expected to help the company’s expansion. Slim Chickens has a goal of opening more than 600 new locations over the next 10 years. Slim Chickens now has more than 80 locations across 14 states, the United Kingdom and Kuwait. An additional 350 locations are under development agreements.
“Greg Smart and I started Slim Chickens over 16 years ago with a mission to bring Southern hospitality and fresh, high-quality chicken to a fast-casual setting,” said CEO and co-founder Tom Gordon said in a statement. “Our growth with new franchise agreements has been exceptional in the first half of 2019. In the past quarter alone, Slim Chickens has signed 60 new restaurant agreements with impressive, experienced multi-unit franchisees.
“With 10 Point Capital’s unique support and expertise, we believe we have the resources necessary to achieve our goal of 600 stores in the next 10 years.”
Slim Chickens COO Sam Rothschild said the company’s growth rate is beginning to reach a level “we’ve been working towards.” The company opened its fourth UK location in Birmingham, England, earlier this month and will open new restaurants in Southaven, Miss., and Owasso, Okla., in the next several weeks. Additional store openings across the Southeast and Midwest U.S. are slated in the fall.
10 Point Capital managing partner Tom Wells said Slim Chickens is poised for significant growth. Other fast-casual restaurants in the 10 Point Capital portfolio include Tropical Smoothie Café, which opened its 750th store earlier this year.
“At 10 Point Capital, we help founders create dominant franchise brands, and Slim Chickens is certainly a vibrant, distinctive brand,” Wells said. “Whether in Little Rock or central London, we found in our diligence that Slim Chickens has quickly established a loyal following in whatever market it enters.”
Slim Chickens CFO Seth Jensen said the company chose 10 Point Capital for a private equity investment because of its expertise in franchising and a “shared vision” for the brand.
“We had a number of potential private equity suitors over the past few years, but we were committed to aligning with a company that would be able to drive more impact than just financing,” he said.
Slim Chickens is currently seeking single and multi-unit franchisees to open locations in the Southeastern, Midwestern and Northeast U.S. | <urn:uuid:f26c8a6d-8e74-4bbf-b83e-2018a6dc65af> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://talkbusiness.net/2019/07/slim-chickens-announces-equity-investment-from-10-point-capital-eyes-600-new-locations-in-next-decade/ | 2019-11-17T12:50:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668954.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117115233-20191117143233-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.95311 | 552 | [

Part 1: DOJ Weighs In on Cyber Investigations & Breach Preparedness
The U.S. Department of Justice is increasing its outreach to the private sector on all things cyber.
Last week, the DOJ’s Criminal Division held a cybersecurity roundtable to discuss challenges in handling data breach investigations. As part of the roundtable discussion, the DOJ issued revised guidance on its “Best Practices for Victim Response and Reporting Cyber Incidents.” The Best Practices guidance, summarized below, is the result of the DOJ’s outreach efforts concerning ways in which the government can work more effectively with the private sector to address cybersecurity challenges. The goal of the roundtable discussion, which started in 2015, is to foster and enhance cooperation between law enforcement and data breach victims, and to also encourage information sharing.
Pre-Planning for a Cyber Attack
The Best Practices guidance offers pre-planning tips to help organizations limit damage from cyber-attacks, minimize work stoppages, expedite mitigation efforts, and improve law enforcement’s ability to identify hackers.
- Educate Senior Management. Although organizations are more aware than ever concerning the growing threat of cyber-attacks, senior management, boards, and other governing bodies — the private sector leadership teams responsible for making decisions and setting priorities — DOJ stressed their need to be keenly aware of the impact of cyber-attacks. The Best Practices guidance suggests holding regular briefings about existing and emerging cyber threats to educate senior management and keep them informed on a going forward basis.
- Identify “Crown Jewels”. DOJ also urges organizations to prioritize their cybersecurity efforts by identifying “crown jewels” — the data, assets, or services that warrant the greatest degree of protection. As explained in the guidance, some organizations may depend on email to communicate with customers, while other organizations may have valuable intellectual property or sensitive patient data. After determining which assets merit the highest degree of protection, DOJ advises that organizations then assess (or reassess) how to best manage the risk associated with protection of these core asset classes.
- Develop a Cyber Incident Response Plan. By now, it should come as no surprise that maintaining a formal, up-to-date cyber incident response plan is a must. In the event of a cyber-attack, the incident response plan should direct management and other personnel to focus on containment, mitigation, and information-gathering. The plan should also be “actionable” — meaning, as DOJ advises, the plan should provide specific, concrete procedures, include timelines for completion of critical tasks, and identify decision makers. Importantly, the plan should be available in both electronic and hard copy format (in the event an organization’s network is rendered inaccessible during an attack). Organizations should conduct exercises to help familiarize staff with response plans and determine whether there are any shortcomings that need to be addressed, which become more apparent only after a test run, or more commonly called a “table-top exercise.”
- Build a Relationship with Law Enforcement. Having a private sector – federal law enforcement relationship in place before an incident occurs can prove critical in the hours and days immediately following a cyber-attack. DOJ stresses that building a relationship with federal law enforcement before an incident occurs will help ease any subsequent contact when law enforcement assistance is necessary. Federal law enforcement, such as the FBI and U.S. Secret Service, are also potential sources for cybersecurity information. In short, it’s best in many instances to build that important communication bridge with law enforcement during the relative calm of every day business and not in the midst of a cyber-attack or its immediate aftermath.
- Maintain Cybersecurity Procedures. In addition to developing an incident response plan, DOJ warns that organizations should also use other commonsense cybersecurity practices. These include controls that limit access to data (i.e. “crown jewels”), password management programs, multi-factor authentication, firewall protection, and server logs to track network activity.
- Retain Cybersecurity Technology and Services. In order to both defend against and respond to an attack, organizations must have the appropriate technology at their disposal and retain necessary services. Such services include incident response firms, government services associated with mitigating and recovering from attacks, and legal counsel. Indeed, the Best Practices state that it is “beneficial” to consult with legal counsel — both in-house and outside counsel — familiar with relevant cybersecurity laws when preventing and responding to a cyber incident. Counsel should be involved with incident response planning and exercises, as well, for a multitude of reasons including considerations of confidentiality and privilege.
In part 2 of our series, we’ll look at the basics of data breach incident response and a list of the DOJ’s “don’ts” when organizations are confronted with a hacker. Stay tuned. | <urn:uuid:aec29f0f-ab7e-4aa9-8e5c-f4f71eea7a84> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.pbwt.com/simone-m-silva-arrindell/data-security-law-blog/part-1-doj-weighs-in-on-cyber-investigations-breach-preparedness/ | 2019-11-17T13:12:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668954.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117115233-20191117143233-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.935511 | 990 | [

Visual Infotainment in the political news
A cultural approach in the post-truth era
AbstractThis article introduces the concept of visual infotainment, the aspects of infotainment found in visual artefacts employed in the news. Using a case study, we examine the photographs published in the digital media to report on the negotiations between the Greek- and Turkish-Cypriot communities, which took place in 2016 and 2017. A four-level visual framing analysis is used to identify a consistent set of frames. It aims to identify the political ideologies that appear to be behind the visual infotainment in these pictorial reports, and the specific ways in which hard news can be transformed into soft news. Our research confirms the presence of visual infotainment elements of personalisation, emotion, morbidity and sensationalism. Overall, the study shows that visual infotainment serves to establish visual frames produced by and for contradictory propagandas, one of which favours ethnic nationalism while the other promotes confl ict resolution.

Employment in Krakow
As the second largest city in Poland, Krakow is incredibly important to the Polish economy, and is the economic hub of the Małopolska (or Lesser Poland) region. Krakow has a booming private sector, which employs many of the city’s residents, including expatriates. At present there are around 50 multinational companies set up in Krakow, including Google, IBM, Motorola, General Electric and Delphi. The presence of these companies is the result of foreign investment, which grew rapidly after the collapse of the Soviet Union — in 2005 foreign investment in Krakow reached $3.5 billion.
According to the World Investment Report 2011 by the UN Conference for Trade and Development, Krakow is the most emerging city in the world for investment in global BPO projects. Krakow is also home to the Knowledge and Innovation Community (Sustainable Energy) of The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), which is a world leader in researching energy and sustainability and employs many expatriates.
Work Permits for Krakow
Whether or not you will need a permit to work in Krakow depends on your nationality. As Poland is a member of the European Union, EU citizens will not need a permit to work in Krakow. However, non-EU citizens will need a work permit. If you are to obtain a permit to work in Krakow, you will usually need to provide evidence of prospective employment, and your prospective employer will need to assist with the application.
Before applying for a work permit, expats must first get permission for the application from a Voivode Office; their prospective employer in Krakow will usually secure this. Once this has been granted, the company will then apply for the permit on your behalf. Work permits are issued for a maximum of three years, after which time they can be renewed.
Income Taxation in Krakow
Expatriates living and working in Krakow will be required to pay income tax on their earnings. If you are a classified as a resident of Poland, which means that you live and work in Krakow for more than 183 days in a year, you will pay income tax on your worldwide income.
If you live and work in Krakow for less than 183 days in a year, you are classed as a non-resident and will as such pay income tax on your Polish income only. Poland has a progressive income tax system, where the amount you pay depends on the amount you earn. The tax rates for Poland in 2014 were split into two categories:
- 3,091–85,528 PLN — 18% income tax
- In excess of 85,528 PLN — 32% income tax

THE CLASSICAL THEATRE OF HARLEM
On the silly and enjoyable NBC show Timeless, actor Paterson Joseph plays the owner of a company that built a time machine. But before that show debuted in 2016, Joseph had already constructed his own way of traveling through history: a one-man show about "the extraordinary Negro" Ignatius Sancho, the first Briton of African descent to cast a vote. Joseph has performed the piece all over the world (including BAM in December of 2015) and brings it back to New York for another run at the newly refurbished National Black Theatre on Fifth Avenue, home of the Classical Theatre Of Harlem.
Aptly subtitled "An Act Of Remembrance," Joseph's play about a little-known historical figure is typical of the genre -- it is gently informative, genially entertaining and offers only a modest dollop of drama. Happily, it has two key elements that allow Sancho to be worthy of your time rather than just worthy. Ignatius Sancho is a fascinating, quirky hero and Joseph is an exceptional actor who brings this man to life with the command and ease of a charismatic performer who has been showcased in London by the RSC, the National and was once the favorite to become the next Doctor. (Doctor who? If you have to ask....)
Joseph yearned to explore British history and find himself in it. Yet the very aspect of Sancho's life that made him intriguing to Joseph is perhaps what keeps the play earthbound. This life does not lack for excitement of a sort, but the journey from a child of enslaved people to a man of letters and ultimately a greengrocer who dies of gout is more curious than compelling.
(Photo © by Robert Day)
Thanks to Joseph's skill, the 80 minute work flits by with ease. We see Sancho born on a ship during the horrific era of the Middle Passage, bought as a pet for a household run by three stern women, escape into a world of letters and music, become the most prominent black Briton to speak out on the evils of slavery, befriend everyone from actor David Garrick to novelist Laurence Sterne and ultimately turn into a man of property who has earned the legal right to vote. (Even white men without property could not vote at the time.)
This mounting includes co-direction by Simon Godwin, minimal but effective sets by Michael Vale, unfussy costumes by Linda Haysman and a subtle sound design by Ben Park that adds atmosphere at key moments without calling attention to itself. It is no discredit to their efforts that Joseph is what one remembers.
A one-person show can become exhausting but, as writer, Joseph has wisely employed the usual devices to break up the evening. He begins by addressing the audience, sharing why he wrote this piece, casually tucking his pants into leggings -- thus transforming before our eyes into a man from the 18th century -- and then explaining his choice of a modest lisp to portray his main character.
Joseph also smartly incorporates the work of others for flavor, such as the famous letters on slavery exchanged between Sancho and Sterne, a passage from that writer's hilarious masterpiece Tristram Shandy (a novel so meta and modern I wouldn't be the least surprised if Sterne was actually from the future himself) and an engaging chunk of Don Quixote. At one point Joseph even brings a woman out of the audience to dance with him, addressing her throughout the rest of the show to keep us alive to the moment.
If Sancho does not transcend its genre as a piece of writing the way Sancho transcended his time, one is happy to see it delivered by Joseph. The lisp, the mildly foppish manner reveal a man of social standing. But Joseph also shows the small boy abandoned by the world, the young man thirsting for knowledge and the adult who tempers his righteous anger with a keen intellect. Tilting his head, Joseph becomes the love of Sancho's life; dripping with disdain, he is the public official all too eager to deny Joseph his dignity and rights at the climactic election. If the handsome Joseph never quite suggests the jelly-like physique of the real Sancho, well, it would take a lot more padding than this production could afford.
Like me, you will be drawn to the historical exhibit in the lobby (and accessible to the public.) You will search out some of the letters and music penned by this richly talented artist, a clip of which I've embedded here. And sadly, you will find parallels in today's world, where the poor, the elderly, women, college students and people of color face roadblocks to exercising their right to vote by a demand for this or that piece of paper which white adult men of means need not provide or can easily afford.
A typo in the program states the action of the play takes place from 1968 to 1980. They meant 1768 to 1780, but for a moment, I was brought up short. Surely black people had the vote in the UK before 1968? I knew this was true. But since black people were effectively denied the vote until right about that time in the former slave states of the US, it didn't seem so absurd and, briefly, I wondered. How sad. How telling. And thus how essential to share Sancho's story again and again until it is a permanent part of history rather than also a pointed commentary on today.

Why does it smell so good in here?
If we had a dollar for every time someone walks into our shop and says: “Wow it smells good in here!”, we could retire! So why does our shop smell so darn good? The amazing smell that greets you when you visit us at Wake – the foot sanctuary and shop is a combination of many scents. The reason why these scents are so pleasing to the olfactory senses is that they are the result of essential oils. They are pure, natural, and quite simply make you feel good. We should know. We are around essential oils all day every day. Maybe that’s why we seem to be so relaxed and in a good mood around here. Breathing all of these yummy natural flower and plant essences can’t be bad.
Essential oils are the liquid that is distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots, or other parts of the plant. The word essential refers to the true essence of the plant the oil was derived from. Essential oils are highly concentrated and a little goes a long way.
Essential oils come from real flowers and plants. Perfume and fragrance oils are artificially manmade scents and offer no therapeutic benefits.
Essential oils can provide psychological and physical therapeutic benefits. These benefits are most often achieved through inhalation and application of diluted oil to the skin.
We have a great selection of body care products in our shop that contain essential oils. We use a variety of essential oils in the formulations of our foot soaks as well.
For additional information about essential oils and their various therapeutic benefits and uses check out www.aromaweb.com.
Stop in and smell for yourself! | <urn:uuid:b25e1a83-4656-4845-87aa-8330641bf5c4> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://wakespa.com/smell-good/ | 2019-11-20T15:32:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670559.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20191120134617-20191120162617-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.966649 | 358 | [

As long as there is still the written word, there will always be editors. Freelance editing and proofreading not only pays a decent hourly wage, it also gives you the chance to read about potentially interesting topics too. What's more, pursuing freelance writing & editing as a business idea can afford you a lifestyle that lets you travel the world as a digital nomad. You can find lots of job postings from companies and individuals in need of writing, proofreading, and editing services on Contena, which makes this a high-demand opportunity to make money online.
It’s sometimes hard to comprehend just how much people love t-shirts. And with the right niche, marketing, and tools, you can create an online t-shirt business that makes you extra money online while you sleep. (Even Bloomberg and Forbes feature stories from entrepreneurs who've done just that.) Services like TeeSpring make it easier than ever to create a t-shirt drop-shipping business where they handle the sales, printing, and shipping, and you’re only responsible for design and marketing. Or you can even buy into well-established franchise businesses like Rhea Lana that sell fashionable, affordable kids clothing and get the backing of a proven organization to fuel your online sales. For more tips, check out this simple guide to launching and marketing an online clothing store by my friends over at Selz.
One of the easiest ways to utilize feedback is to focus on “The Lean Startup” approach (read more about it here), but it involves three basic pillars: prototyping, experimenting and pivoting. By pushing out a product, getting feedback and then adapting before you push out the next product, you can constantly improve and make sure you stay relevant.
After all the work you've put into starting your business, it's going to feel awesome to actually see your idea come to life. But keep in mind, it takes a village to create a product. If you want to make an app and you're not an engineer, you will need to reach out to a technical person. Or if you need to mass-produce an item, you will have to team up with a manufacturer.
Instead of spending hours playing with accounting software, dreaming up potential expense and income categories, and creating fancy reports with no data, spend that time generating revenue. As long as you record everything you do now, creating a more formal system later will be fairly easy. It will also be more fun, because then you'll have real data to enter.
If you have some revenue coming in but need an extra boost to get to the million-dollar mark, make sure to consider every possible way that your company can differentiate itself. Do you have a letter of commitment from a notable investor? Do you have some revenue or a contract to get some revenue? Do you have valuable intellectual property with the potential to generate revenue? Differentiators like these can make the difference between getting funded and being overlooked by investors and lenders.
Use current resources in new ways. Like most young companies, we encountered a cash flow crunch at PC Care Support. We had about 50 employees, and we wanted to protect everyone’s jobs. We looked at all of our departments and all of our employees’ skill sets to see where we could generate revenue. A few employees in the tech support department stepped up and offered to develop software for other customers. Then a few in the marketing department offered to develop websites. We added website and software development to our suite of services and landed a contract with Nationwide Insurance, taking the company from negative cash flow to 15% net profit per month in three months. This got investors interested in our company, and it enabled us to have the cash we needed to get back to our core services.
If you need financial assistance, a commercial loan through a bank is a good starting point, although these are often difficult to secure. If you are unable to take out a bank loan, you can apply for a small business loan through the Small Business Administration (SBA) or an alternative lender. [See related story: Best Alternative Small Business Loans]
Research other listings in your city on AirBnB and see what the going rate is for a place like yours. You could also just rent out a private room as well or even a bed in a shared room. In fact, that's how AirBnB got its start. However, you might find it hard in the beginning without reviews, but as long as you take really good care of your guests and provide a lot of value, the reviews will eventually come rolling in.
You love dogs? You’re good at taking care of them? You want to open a dog-boarding business? Just make sure you’re prepared. Sure, it’s a great opportunity, and it’s totally doable—with some planning. Make sure you know your local zoning laws and, perhaps more importantly, make sure your neighbors would be OK with some extra noise and activity around your place.
23. Affiliates – There are many affiliate networks, such as FlexOffers and CJ Affiliate that allow you to promote other people’s products and services. You simply put a link or a banner on your page and then you get a percentage if someone clicks through and buys the product/service. You’ll want to select products that are specifically within your blog’s category.This is an effective way to earn money once you have the traffic coming to your blog.
Mechanical Turk is Amazon's take on micro-jobs. These are small miniscule-jobs that you can do for other people, which they call HITs, or Human Intelligence Tasks. These are super simple tasks that anyone can do. Some examples are listing off some URLs with certain kinds of images for one cent, or recording a few phrases with a microphone for 6 cents.
You can absolutely use websites like eBay and Etsy! Try listing some items and making a professional Facebook page for yourself with a link to your eBay/Etsy pages. Then share the information with friends and family and get them to spread the word to people they know. Also, make sure that you have detailed descriptions and multiple pictures with anything you list online. This will help your listing show up in keyword searches, and you are more likely to sell something if the buyer knows a lot about what they are looking at.
Find a profitable niche. Starting with your interests, write down as many niche ideas as you can. Think about topics people might search online. Ideas include passions (like surfing or body building), fears (like spiders or speaking in front of crowds) and problems (like getting out of debt). Do keyword research to see it others are interested in the topic. Find out if a domain name is available that matches the keyword 100 percent.
Conducting thorough market research on your field and demographics of potential clientele is an important part of crafting a business plan. This involves conducting surveys, holding focus groups and researching SEO and public data. A guide to conducting market research can be found on our sister site, Business.com. It's also a good idea to consider an exit strategy as you compile your business plan. Generating some of idea of how you'll eventually exit the business forces you to look to the future.
One way to get started might be to focus on children’s parities, which can be a bit simpler and less stressful to plan than adult get-togethers. Go further into specialization by following kid trends and offering superhero or Frozen parties. Remember that you’ll be competing not just with other party planners but with local restaurants and facilities, so excellent networking skills and a personal touch to your services will be important.
Of course, photography can take many forms, from photojournalism to portrait photography to general-interest stock photography. You’ll most likely go for either setting up a studio in your home or taking pictures for use as stock photos, as true photojournalism requires years of experience and almost never involves actually working from home. Keep in mind that stock-photo sites work on a revenue-sharing model, so simply selling pictures to one is unusual.
You know those top-down cooking or craft videos you just can’t seem to get away from these days? There are people out there making a living from them. 78% of B2C companies depend on user-generated content, like those videos, for their marketing campaigns. You can sign up as a creator on a site like Darby Smart and potentially work with brands like Nordstrom, Mattel, and BarkBox. Or, learn how to master PPC advertising and you can use the content to build your YouTube following and monetize through ads and views.
Start by utilizing these strategies, which include investing in your customer service and getting personal, but realize your work will never be done. You'll constantly be competing for these customers in the marketplace, and you can never simply rest on your laurels. Keep researching the market, hiring good people and making a superior product and you'll be on your way to building the empire you always dreamed about.
22. Advertising – This is definitely the most old-school way of earning money with a blog. It’s also starting to become the least common way. You can sell advertising spots directly on your site or you can sign up with a company like Google AdSense or Media.net. Either way, you won’t see a whole lot of money from ads until your views are well into the thousands each day. | <urn:uuid:5c659446-6bbb-4ff7-a36c-4f67a97811ee> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://startaneasybusiness.com/post2/how-to-start-a-business-in-ohio-with-no-money-how-to-start-a-business-uk-with-no-money.html | 2019-11-20T14:03:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670559.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20191120134617-20191120162617-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.955386 | 1,957 | [

Picard LiftOverIntervalList needs WARN_ON_MISSING_CONTIG=true
I'm trying to convert a bed file from hg19 to hg38. I'm trying to do this by first converting the bed file to a interval list and lifting it over and then converting it back to bed file. However...

I'm not interested in the alt contigs, and I've been able to liftover VCF files with (LiftoverVcf) with the argument "WARN_ON_MISSING_CONTIG=true" but it is not available for LiftOverIntervalList.

In my real life, I’m a teacher. I also sponsor the school Green Team and try to make my school greener. (I annoy the heck out of plenty of people but that means) I’m pretty good at it, too. My old school was the second-LEAST environmentally friendly in the district (thats what happens when you’re built in the ’60s) but my new school is LEED gold (what happens when you’re built in 2010) (other things that happen if you are built in 2010 is there are no VCRs or TVs in the whole building).
I spend plenty of time thinking about what people can do to be greener, and I’ll be sharing one quick thing every Monday this month.
I always bring bags to the grocery store–they’re stored in my front hall closet, and I keep several in my car for impromptu trips. I’m a small-purse girl, but I have several bags that go into tiny little pouches–they fit in a pocket or a tiny purse, and I’m ready for whatever I need to tote around. Many stores in my area also give you 5-10 cents off for every bag you bring too. They also carry a lot more and are far more comfortable to carry.
Try thinking outside the bag, too. I wrapped my sister’s birthday gift in a reusable bag as part of her gift. If the gift is fairly square, it isn’t too tough to pull taut and use some tape to secure it. Wrap it up with a ribbon, and you’ve just added a great little bonus on to your gift!
Do you bring bags with you on errands? Any tips to help remember them? Does your grocery store give you an incentive for using them? | <urn:uuid:56e4baa0-e4d3-4787-b88e-762edee9993a> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://homemade-handmade.net/2013/04/01/byobags/ | 2019-11-17T18:36:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669225.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117165616-20191117193616-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.956247 | 386 | [

Readers, I am excited to introduce to you what I hope to be the first of many more guest posts.
A big thanks to the folks at Teach.com for helping make this happen about such an important topic, and for Sheldon Soper for all his work.
If you think you might be interested in collaborating with Teacher Off Duty, please reach out to me at jeanne at teacher off duty dot com. I’d love to chat!
A guest post by Sheldon Soper from Teach.com
Incarcerated persons in the American prison system lose access to numerous rights and privileges. In the face of these restrictions and limitations, there must still be genuine pathways toward reflection and growth. Even when freedoms are taken away, the personhood of incarcerated individuals must not be.
Whether it is in juvenile detention centers or adult penitentiaries, one of the most powerful tools in promoting life-changing reform, reducing costly recidivism rates, and making strides toward social justice is giving people access to quality education. Here’s why, and how you can help.
Prison education provides a purpose
Prison can be an isolating place. By design, people are cut off almost entirely from the usual trappings of daily life – family, friends, home, career, a self-guided daily routine. In contrast, life on the inside is rigidly regimented and structured; activities, meals, wardrobe, bedtimes, and rules of conduct are all codified with little (if any) agency granted to the incarcerated persons themselves.
In many cases, prison education programs are often treated as incentives to break the monotony of prison life while, at the same time, providing people an opportunity for reflection, agency, and self-improvement.
As Sharon, a former educator in a U.S. juvenile detention center recounted,
My students saw school as a privilege. It got them out of their cells, gave them opportunities for individualized care and attention, and created a real opportunity for the boys to improve themselves. Missing or losing access to school time was not an acceptable option to them and actually helped to keep them on the right track.
Sharon’s experience is not uncommon. Many former incarcerated students refer to their education experiences as not only positive, but also more meaningful than their previous education experiences. She explained,
[My students in the prison education program] genuinely liked and looked forward to school. They almost all had special needs of some kind, but the fact that someone was there for them – ready and willing to work with them – made education matter.
Prisons by their very nature often dehumanize the existence of their inhabitants. In contrast, well-designed and well-staffed educational opportunities allow for incarcerated persons to have a personal purpose.
Teachers can provide individualized experiences and attention that might otherwise be nonexistent in an incarcerated student’s daily routine. Furthermore, the very notion of education itself can cultivate a belief in a person’s own self improvement potential.
Adult prison education programs produce similarly purpose-driven motivations. Whether it is through parent-child literacy programs, high-school equivalency programs, vocational training, or even access to higher education coursework, education proves to be as positive a force in serving older incarcerated individuals as it is to younger ones.
Education can be a vehicle of empowerment. Any number of personal, emotional, and/or practical reasons may drive the quest for self-betterment, but fostering an innate drive to learn can provide a lifetime of benefit. As Alice, an educator with over two decades of experience teaching adult students in prison attests in an interview with Teach.com:
I’ve found that many [adult] students are very agreeable to school from the beginnings. Most of them, at some point, feel that education is relevant and important to them and their future. Many of [my students] have children, and oftentimes feel ashamed that they don’t have basic skills. They feel very proud that they can go home and help their kids with schoolwork. Teachers use that as a motivator for them.
Prison education benefits more than just students
One of the costliest challenges faced by the United States prison system is the high rate of recidivism – incarcerated persons who, after release, return to prison.
That said, a 2013 RAND study concluded that “correctional education reduces postrelease recidivism and does so cost-effectively.” In this study, the per person costs of prison education programs were found to be four to five times less than the per person costs of re-incarceration.
Other studies have also shown that correctional education programs not only reduce crime, but also lead to greater employment opportunities and higher wages for participants upon release.
This means that while there are costs associated with prison education programs, in the long run they can be cost-saving measures for institutions, and have much better outcomes for formerly incarcerated people.
In addition to reducing recidivism, prison education can serve as a powerful way to challenge stereotypes people may have about individuals who are incarcerated. In a system designed to lock away and dehumanize, prison education can provide opportunities for incarcerated people to be more than just students, but teachers, as well.
How can YOU help?
According to a 2016 report from the Federal Bureau of Prisons:
The current education programmatic frameworks, instructional logistics, and support structures cannot meet the current education demand in BOP facilities. These frameworks and structures are unable to scale to increase the number of inmates served or improve educational and training outcomes.
We know these programs are effective, but there are currently multiple barriers preventing their positive impacts from reaching all those they could help. Thankfully, there are ways for all of us (educators and non-educators alike) to get involved.
- Donate to prison education charities like the Prison Education Foundation or The Prison Scholar Fund, or better yet, a local organization near you. Supporting these life-changing initiatives makes it possible for more people to access opportunities ranging from skill building to post-secondary coursework. You can also get involved more directly by donating resources like books or by making financial contributions to the education programs of your local prisons.
- Volunteer your time through prison-focused organizations like the Petey Greene Program. Offering your expertise in either a tutoring or a vocational capacity is a way to make a profoundly personal impact on those in need of support and guidance.
- Get politically active through organizations like the Tufts University Prison Initiative, the Illinois Education Justice Project, and the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison and the many others like them that are bringing awareness to the value of prison education as well as pushing for legislative advocacy and activism.
As with most policy issues, local actions tend to be the most effective. Reach out to and get involved with political action groups in your local municipality and/or state to get involved. The ACLU maintains an exhaustive list of organizations dedicated to the rights and support of incarcerated persons. You can find more at the bottom of this post, as well.
- Teach! The most meaningful and well-intentioned educational programs get nowhere without quality educators at the helm. While teaching in prisons may not be for everyone, it can be a rewarding and satisfying service and career choice. In addition to the required degrees and certifications, patience and flexibility to work within institutional structures, a sense of compassion and tolerance for students of all possible backgrounds, and a confidence in curricular and classroom management skills. Since teaching in prisons is not for everyone, before committing to teach, Erin L. Castro, Ph.D. Director & Co-Founder, University of Utah Prison Education Project advises educators to start by volunteering and broadening their horizons about their local prison systems.
Yes we need teachers, but we also need academic tutors, librarians, people to facilitate workshops, and help improving access to books and reading materials. I encourage [readers] to meet with incarcerated people to find out what they want and go from there.
Learning has the power to be a truly transformative tool for bettering the conditions for convicted persons both during and after their incarcerations.
Beyond access to skills training and scholastic content, prison education is a way to empower those that are often times the most affected by social inequity. Supporting these efforts demonstrates to incarcerated persons that their voices, their lives, and their personhood matter.
A special thanks to Dr. Castro for providing guidance for this piece.

The aroma of sautéing onions and garlic emanating from a kitchen, spices percolating in a pan or fresh baked sourdough bread warm out of the oven are just a few of the scents that that call us to gather around a table and partake in a meal. Tahoe is a culture of outdoors. We are also a foodie culture. We love our food and drink. It’s a way to gather and connect whether at a restaurant, hosting an intimate dinner or partaking in a potluck dinner at a friend’s house.
“With access to higher-end lodging and more people visiting from the city, there is a need for an elevated culinary experience. It’s been a collective effort with restaurant owners to elevate the experience.” — Paul Reder
Specialty cocktails created by avant-garde cocktail mixologists have taken center stage. Mixologists create unique flavors and infusions that enhance our spirits. Beer has a cult following in Tahoe. Breweries have popped up in all of the nooks and crannies of the community on highlighting brews with new twists and flavor profiles.
Dining out is an adventure with multicourse menus and wine pairings showcasing what’s new and trendy. Chefs are creating, re-creating and finding inspiration from around the globe. Food and wine festivals abound. And even potluck dinner parties reflect new trends in eating whether it’s Keto, Paleo, low-carb or plant-based cuisine.
While many food fads come and go, some cuisine standards remain steady. Who doesn’t love a good Italian or Mexican meal? For those of us foodies at heart we are continually on the hunt for the new trends, twists on world cuisine and innovative influences in our area:. Think soup dumplings, Korean barbecue or Ethiopian fare.
Ramen, Hot Pots and Poke menus have popped up around the lake and reflect our desire for healthier menus that do not compromise on flavor or taste. Comfort foods tend to crop up during the winter months — especially craved after a long day of skiing. Comfort foods, too, can take on a new twist. Burger, chili or mac and cheese are winter winners. Add lobster or bacon and vegetables in your mac and cheese and it’s a whole different animal.
Currently many eyes are on a plant-based movement; we see Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger gracing menus along with more vegetarian and vegan options. Tahoe is particularly sensitive to gluten and a host of menus reflect these dietary preferences. Restaurants find themselves at the center of dietary trends and cater to patrons that adhere to Keto, Paleo, gluten-free and vegan diets thus making it easier for people with such dietary needs to dine out.
Eat local movement
Tahoe’s food culture is reflected in the eat local food movement. The Tahoe Food Hub’s Farm shop and Slow Food Lake Tahoe support the local food movement educating the community on growing, preparing and accessing local and sustainable food. Member-based CSA (community supported agriculture) boxes drive trends and awareness of our food culture to the local consumer. In the spring and summer, farmers’ markets abound in Tahoe along with a number of natural grocery stores that support not only the health of the community but also the local food culture.
Many Tahoe restaurants tend to remain true to their California roots. Fresh, local and sustainable is still the foundation of many menus. Seasonal menus are at the heart of many of the restaurants in Tahoe.
Paul Reder, co-owner of The Loft in South Lake Tahoe, has been in the restaurant and entertainment industry for 32 years. He has seen a lot of change and his opinion is it’s all for the better.
“With access to higher-end lodging and more people visiting from the city, there is a need for an elevated culinary experience. It’s been a collective effort with restaurant owners to elevate the experience on the South Shore. Sample the Sierra and farm-to-table events have raised the awareness that we are a foodie market and a destination for great food,” says Reder.
Taste at The Loft is one of the restaurants meeting the demand as more people with sophisticated tastes visit and move to Tahoe. For Taste, this consciousness in food and trends has cultivated a number of events like its new winemaker’s series. Reder acknowledges that many influences in the market have “raised the level of the culinary experience in South Lake Tahoe.”
In Truckee, restaurateurs are shifting trends to cater to their patrons. Chris St. Martin and Ryan Dierks of Truckee Tavern lead the way with their new project Roco Como, which offers Mexican and Japanese served under one roof.
South Tahoe Restaurant Association’s Annie Handrick acknowledges that their restaurant members are reflective of the culinary atmosphere in South Lake.
I’ll continue to delve into the culture of the Tahoe food scene and explore what’s new, what matters, the many aspects of our food scene and its impact on our environment, health, wellbeing and social fabric of the community in every edition of Tahoe Weekly and at TheTahoeWeekly.com. | <urn:uuid:c5fbd566-ac18-4d23-8825-dd3964c9fff2> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://thetahoeweekly.com/2019/10/tahoes-foodie-culture/ | 2019-11-17T17:48:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669225.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117165616-20191117193616-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.938279 | 1,097 | [

This is a fantastic game I picked up at the Agile Alliance conference in Florida a couple of years ago. It offers deep learning with respect to self-organisation and learning cycles, and a number of people I’ve facilitated it for in conference settings have asked for a facilitation guide.
The mission of the team playing the game is to “beat the facilitator” by preventing them from sitting in a vacant chair for 1 minute. You should allow roughly an hour for the activity.
The smallest group I have played the game with is 7, and the largest about 100. With large numbers, you will want to break into groups of 25-30 with a facilitator per group (it’s very easy to recruit and instruct a facilitator on the spot).
To setup, you need an open space with one chair per player, one for the facilitator and plenty of room to move. Ask each team member to grab a chair, and to randomly organise themselves in the space available. You don’t want a regular arrangement, and certainly not an orderly circle. You want chairs facing in multiple directions fairly evenly distributed throughout the space (some in the middle, some on the edges.
The rules are very simple. Inform the participants that their goal is to learn about self-organisation and learning cycles. Their goal is to block you from occupying a vacant seat for 60 seconds. The constraints are as follows:
- Any number of people can be moving at once to occupy the chair the facilitator is aiming for
- Once you have stood up (or even half stood up), you cannot sit down in the same chair .. you must find a new chair to sit in.
- The chairs cannot be moved from their starting position.
- No physical blocking is allowed. You can’t push the facilitator out of the way or impede them from moving in their desired direction.
- The facilitator can only move at a walk, the team can move as fast as they like. It’s not a running race, it’s a strategy game.
You may or may not choose to warn participants they are likely to take 4 to 5 attempts just to reach 10 seconds. Most groups will take 30-40 attempts to solve it. You have various hints to offer along the way, with the hints later on the list being more powerful accelerators.
· Are they hearing every voice at their retrospectives or allowing dominators?
· Have they remembered that the game is about self-organisation (if they make the inevitable mistake of attempting to have one or two people co-ordinate)?
· Are they trying to reinvent the wheel every retrospective? What about making a small tweak then testing it? It generally takes 10 seconds to decide whether a change was positive or negative (as long as it takes to fail) as opposed to debating it for 40 seconds?
· The most important ingredient in a self-organising team is trust! (This is usually the last hint that helps the breakthrough. Most teams find a winning strategy then have one or two people who keep panicking and breaking it)
The debrief usually drives itself, however some key learnings I look to draw out are:
- A self-organising team still needs a strategy and some agreed rules. It needs to be developed by the team to guide the way they work together.
- The uniting power of a shared mission
- The notion of improvement through small course corrections. A retrospective should identify a small change which can be actioned within 2 weeks, then evaluated as an input to selecting the next small change. It’s too easy to fall into the trap of large “all or nothing” changes.
Places and Times to use the activity
I most commonly use this activity as part of team formation. It’s brilliant to run with a freshly formed team as it really unites them, drops some traditional barriers (nothing like sprinting around a room to do that) and sets the scene for what their retrospectives should feel like. I also use it as part of release train launches (teams of teams) for similar outcomes.
Alternatively, it’s great to run with a team instead of a regular retrospective. It will both drive some interesting reflections on how they work as a team and re-invigorate their retrospectives.
Lastly, you can use it anytime as a community building activity. | <urn:uuid:15537e70-272a-4d64-9de9-4f9a72c9451d> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.agilenotanarchy.com/2016/07/agile-musical-chairs-facilitation-guide.html | 2019-11-19T04:36:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670006.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119042928-20191119070928-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.962747 | 911 | [

||Shannon Udovic-Constant, M.D., and James Constant, M.D.
On this Valentine’s Day, the California Medical Association (CMA) thought there no better time to highlight one of our outstanding physician couples, Shannon Udovic-Constant, M.D., and James Constant, M.D., mastering the difficult task of balancing their demanding work schedules and busy personal life.
The couple first met while Shannon was on her medical school rotation at UCSF where James was a resident. Now years later, they still live and work in San Francisco, and have two children together, an 11-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son.
James and Shannon both agreed that the challenges in their family are mostly the same as any family where both parents work. However, one specific difference they noted was that they have to take turns working on weekends and holidays, plus the additional night calls that James takes. “We have a shared iCloud calendar where everything gets entered in order to coordinate our schedules,” they said.
Although balancing their work schedules can be a bit of a chore, they say there are major benefits to being in a dual-doctor relationship. “One major plus is that we both have work that is meaningful to us that we are excited to continue to do each day. We also each have had new opportunities in our work lives that keep our work engaging,” said Shannon.
James and Shannon both work for The Permanente Medical Group (TPMG) in San Francisco—James serving as Assistant Physician-in-Chief working on surgical quality and finance, and Shannon as a pediatrician and a member of the TPMG Board. Shannon also serves on the CMA Executive Committee as Vice Chair of the CMA Board of Trustees.
In another universe if James and Shannon were not physicians, James said he would like to fly jets or race cars (though he’d have to cure his motion sickness first). Shannon on the other hand has always wanted to be a dancer on Broadway, but would settle for becoming a Zumba instructor.
Setting a great example for other physician couples, James and Shannon have spilled the key to a work-life balance in their relationship:
“....making time for our self, each other, and our family. If you spend everything on work there is nothing left to give to yourself and the meaningful relationships that are truly the most important thing for lifelong happiness.”
California's doctors aren't just health care and medical experts. They're also community leaders, philanthropists, entrepreneurs and policymakers dedicated to ensuring that patients receive quality health care at an affordable cost. #CMAdocs showcases California physicians leading the charge to help their communities thrive.

A chance to visit the BAPS temple in Stafford, Houston. A brilliant masterpiece in design in this day and age, just for the sheer efforts put in. Made of marble and limestone with nearly 136 pillars, all carved and etched, the monument was completed in under 18 months.

Count me in for any classic cocktail that has a whiskey in it. The Paper Plane has equal parts bourbon, lemon juice, amaro and Aperol. In my version, I used Averna amaro rather than the traditional Amaro Nonino, so I had to cut back a bit on the lemon juice. Since Michter's is a lower proof bourbon that also factored in that decision. Lemon easily overpowers whiskey at that lower proof. With a 100 proof or higher Paper Plane, you could probably keep up the equal parts ratios.
But, here's what worked with my Michter's:
3/4 oz Michter's bourbon
3/4 oz Averna Amaro
3/4 oz Aperol
1/2 oz lemon juice
Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker, fill with ice and shake until the outside is frosty-cold. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish, if you like, with a lemon peel. Cheers.

The gameplay of the science fiction-inspired Delta T is very similar to the current rage, PokemonGo, created by American mobile game company Niantic Inc. It is based in a dystopian futuristic setting where the world is overrun by four mega-corporations, who battle it out for global supremacy.
"When a user logs into the game, they can choose between joining one of the four mega-corporations," said Krishna Rao, founder of Empower Labs. "These corporations are based on technologies and ideologies.They can choose between nanontech, humanoid tech, mutant tech and alien tech."
Once the user chooses their team, they go around the city setting up 'offences' on roads and streets and 'defences' in parks and buildings. Based on their GPS locations, the users can bump into other gamers, who are part of other corporations. They move around in the real world and interact with people, things and places in real time settings. The users will have to find energy generators in different locations and use specific weapons to capture the energy generators for their teams.
"The gameplay is understanding which energy is depleted from the two energy generators, yours or the opponents and you use specific weapons to determine this. This is also based on the level of your weapon and how much you have used your weapon. We have internal algorithms to calculate this," Rao said.
In India, the startup is targeting smartphone casual gamers in the 20 to 40 age group. But even though the company expects to see a high number of users, it remains unsure of the revenues in terms of in app purchases. The company is currently targeting developed markets including Canada, Australia and Europe, using a sample size of at least 10,000 users during the beta phase before entering the Indian market.
The primary revenue driver will be in app purchases.The company will also release comic books that elaborate upon the game's story.
Launched in 2014, Empower Labs raised undisclosed funding from unnamed high networth individuals in a seed round in June last year. | <urn:uuid:fe25d36c-206d-439c-9578-5a4e35eda05c> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/startups/empower-labs-to-launch-beta-phase-of-first-ar-game-delta-t-in-india/53275583 | 2019-11-14T03:41:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667945.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114030315-20191114054315-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.963931 | 414 | [

So I’ve been looking at writerstore.com’s articles lately. I encountered one about writer’s block and lack of motivation and it said stuff about just writing and writing and writing and not minding if it’s crap; I suppose that’s helpful. I mean, having the words in front of you is better than not seeing them, not knowing what’s going on. Even if it’s just a literal stream-of-conciousness based flow of words, it’s something.
I should probably be doing something a little more useful right now. I got back from theory (and my quiz, and the fastest part-writing I’ve ever done) in order to eat a bagel and drink some milk, and zone out with TV for, oh, an hour and a half. Frankly, I’m calling myself out on this right now. So pathetic. Just a time-waster. I should be practicing, or working on my music ed hours, or even printing off my resume for SA nominations. But I didn’t, and I haven’t, and that time’s gone again. Oh well? I suppose.
I still have a full hour before I have to leave for aural skillz, though. So, hey, I’ll make some coffee and finish some paperwork and maybe even crank out that theory packet for Thursday. Then I’ll head to aural, then lug my clarinet and piano books to the practice rooms for two hours before ed psych. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to rehearse Affanni before studio tonight… merda, if I don’t make sure that shit’s solidly memorized, I am screeeewed.
So yeah. Here’s my writing and writing and writing and not minding if it’s crap for the day. Time to actually go do something. | <urn:uuid:b26be6fb-1dc5-46af-b504-43958c92a01c> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://mylovelikeavoice.wordpress.com/tag/day/ | 2019-11-15T15:04:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668682.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20191115144109-20191115172109-00515.warc.gz | en | 0.943328 | 409 | [

Post-operative Instructions Perth
After tooth extraction, there are a number of post-operative instructions you need to follow.
When the tooth has been extracted and the bleeding has stopped a blood clot will form. Do not disturb this by poking it with your finger or tongue. This blood clot is an important part of the healing process.
If, after leaving our dental practice, the socket does start bleeding all you need to do is: put either a handkerchief or clean tissue on the extraction site and bite down. The bleeding will stop in a few minutes, and again try not to disturb the blood clot. If bleeding persists contact Access Dental Care for advice.
Your mouth may still be numb for up to an hour
It can take an hour or more for the local anaesthetic to wear off, during this time please take care not to:
- Not bite your tongue or cheek
- Not burn your mouth when drinking hot liquids
We would also advise no smoking or drinking alcohol for 24 hours, the reason being this can slow down the healing process.
When the anaesthetic wears off
After the anaesthetic wears off you may be in some discomfort. You take can painkillers like Panadol but do not take aspirin. Aspirin is a blood thinner which could cause the socket to bleed. While you are still under the effects of the anaesthetic we advise you do not chew until you can feel your tongue, cheeks, and gums properly. This will help to prevent disturbing the blood clot that is important to the healing process.
Depending on a number of factors, the healing time can take around one or two weeks. For the first few days after surgery:
- There will be swelling
- Avoid strenuous activity
- Be sure to brush and floss the rest of your mouth as normal
For the first 48 hours after surgery, we strongly recommend a soft-food diet such as:
- Ice cream
- Soft-cooked eggs
It is important to eat because the nourishment will aid the healing process. Other factors that will play a role in the healing process are: your oral health, your overall health and your body’s natural ability to heal. When you visit Access Dental Care in Perth one of our skilled and caring staff will work closely with you and let you know what to expect before during and after surgery.
Follow up visit
After extraction, we strongly recommend a follow-up visit to ensure your oral health is on track to recovery. If, at any stage after the extraction process, you are worried please feel free to talk with one of our staff. | <urn:uuid:ff365762-78b5-4b3b-a31d-9f8da8eba9ae> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://accessdentalcare.com.au/treatments/oral-surgery/post-operative-instructions/ | 2019-11-17T23:08:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669352.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117215823-20191118003823-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.941781 | 532 | [

1 Corinthians 3:1-4
1Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men? 4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
Quote from The Search for Significance by Robert S. McGee
“Many of us are like the Christians at Corinth. We still try to obtain our significance the world’s way, through success and approval. Often, we look only to other believers rather than to Christ Himself. we learn to use the right christian words, claim divine power and guidance, and organize programs, and yet so often, our spiritual facade lacks depth and substance. Our spiritual activities become human efforts lacking the real touch of the mater. In effect, we live a lie.”
Ouch that is hard to hear, especially when it is true. How do I go about changing my focus from the praise of man (including myself) to the glory of God?
This was shown to me very clearly last night. I just found out that I didn’t make it to the final round of interviews for a promotion I applied for. When I was thinking it over last night one of the many, many thoughts that went through my head is who was I doing this for? Who was I trying to impress? Don’t get me wrong, that wasn’t my only motivation and I will apply for this position again, but why is that even a part of my motive? My reason on this earth has nothing to do with impressing those around me it has everything to do with God. | <urn:uuid:a218d3f7-0868-486a-a51f-30bd25c7a0ff> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://asimplefitlife.com/2009/10/30/ouch-this-is-hard-to-hear/ | 2019-11-17T22:35:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669352.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117215823-20191118003823-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.976339 | 404 | [

Leadership and Organization
ECEDHA is run in accordance with the ECEDHA bylaws, by four elected officers who are ECEDHA members.
Current Officers (June 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020)
University of Central Florida
Iowa State University
University of Wisconsin, Madison
The President conducts a business meeting annually during the ECEDHA Annual Meeting. All ECEDHA members are encouraged to attend.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association (ECEDHA) is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of the following:
- Four elected officers
- Most recent President
- A minimum of two Members-at-Large
- Representative from CHECE/DGEIC (Calendar Year Terms)
- Representative from the Inclusive Engineering Consortium (IEC) Board
- Executive Director of ECEDHA
The normal progression of officers of ECEDHA is from Secretary to Treasurer to Vice-President to President to Past President. This progression is interrupted if one of the people ceases to be a department head (an exception is that the President, once in office, normally continues to serve out their term). In the past, the most frequent reason for this interruption has been that one of the officers becomes a Dean.
The Board normally meets twice a year, once during the Annual Conference in the spring, and once in the summer.
Members of the Board of Directors welcome comments and suggestions from ECEHA members at any time.
ECEDHA's administration is carried out by Professional Education International (PEI).

"As I started working with Cheryl my awareness about my everyday choices became so much clearer. I realized that despite all the excuses I could come up with for putting off going to the gym or ordering take-out (again!), I still had a lot of control, and there were a lot of things I COULD do within my busy schedule. I was excited to learn about new foods and how little actions can lead to big results." -Client J.C.
Let's face it, life can feel crazy! These days, we often feel too busy and distracted most of the time, that we forget the importance of properly fueling our bodies (and often our minds). This leaves us feeling under-nourished, out of balance and completely drained.
Live Your BEST LIFE
I coach individuals who are overwhelmed, exhausted and feeling like they have no time left for themselves while juggling family, work and home-life; to learn how to feed their body, mind and souls with nourishing food, self-care, and spiritually grounding techniques so they can be healthier, happier, more resilient and EMPOWERED in their lives.
Imagine what your life would be like if you had clear thinking, energy and excitement every day. If you finally felt like YOU again.
"I always get such a mental, spiritual and emotional boost from our sessions. You've taught me to celebrate each of my successes, which are really quite substantial as I reflect on where I was when I started with you. Thank you once again!!"
Contact Cheryl today to schedule your FREE consultation:
"I really cannot thank you enough. I have not been this happy or felt this good in so long." -Client R.B
"Since starting this program I have had the courage and opportunity to make some important decisions about relationships and my lifestyle. I have learned to pay more attention to myself so I can be energized and refreshed for my family, friends and people that depend on me."
"I am so happy and comfortable with my body, what to eat now and how I am feeling that I have a social life again. I can actually go out to dinner with family/friends and not have to leave early because I was not feeling well due to unknowingly eating foods that weren't agreeing with me. I love it!" -Client S.M.
"I am so excited about everything I am learning from you. It is truly inspiring me to be a better me.

We've all heard of the term 'bucket list,' made famous by the Nicholson/Freeman flick in which two OAPs tick some wild things off their 'to do before I die' list. But what about the term 'potty list'?
Coined by the U.K. formula and baby food company, Cow & Gate, the "potty list" comprises the "top activities all children should experience by the age of three."
To compile the list, Cow & Gate asked more than 1,000 (European) parents what they deemed to be the most important milestones toddlers accomplish in their early years.
Without further ado, this is what they came up with:
1. Make a mud pie
2. Bake a cake
3. Finger paint
4. Sing loudly in public
5. Climb a big hill
6. Pick fruit
7. Dance without any inhibitions
8. Make sandcastles on the beach
9. Be chased by a monster
10. Jump in a puddle so hard the water went in mummy's shoe too
Notice the absence of any structured or otherwise academic-sounding items, like reading, writing and arithmetic.
So parents pining to sign their kids up to umpteen activities, really you need not. The only thing you really HAVE to do in the first few years of your child's life is have fun, you know, the free kind.
For the time being at least, feel free to scratch the swimming, gymnastics, painting, karate, music, yoga, ballet, Spanish, French and any other structured class you can dream up.
The lesson here: the Mandarin and piano can wait.
How do you feel about this list? Anything you would add/delete?
Remember all the whoopla a few months back about Storm, a Toronto baby whose parents decided to keep his gender under wraps? Well, another couple managed to keep mum about their child Sasha's gender for five years. They have, just now, revealed he's a he.
Sasha was referred to simply as "The Infant" by parents Beck Laxton, 46, and partner Kieran Cooper, 44 in the hopes that its 'real' personality would shine through.
Sasha only played with so-called 'gender-neutral' toys, and wore both girls' and boys' clothes. It was only when he started primary school that the cat came out of the bag, so to speak, as his masculinity was harder to conceal.
"I wanted to avoid all that stereotyping," said Beck, a web editor. "Stereotypes seem fundamentally stupid. Why would you want to slot people into boxes? Gender affects what children wear and what they can play with, and that shapes the kind of person they become."
Beck goes on to explain that in her own family gender roles were skewed with her mother being "very sporty" and her dad crying over The Wizard of Oz. Clearly she must have felt this reversal caused a degree of shame or limitation in the outside world.
The British couple was so keen to avoid harmful stereotyping, they only revealed Sasha's gender to immediate family members.
In the process, though, she became stereotyped herself, as "the loony woman who doesn't know whether her baby is a boy or a girl."
She claims as a result of her decision she and The Infant were excluded from play dates. Apparently Beck encouraged her son to play with dolls and wear flowery tops in order to hide his masculinity. So isn't that precluding his natural instinct? You have to wonder who she was doing the experiment for, Sasha or herself?
"I just want him to fulfill his potential, and I wouldn't push him in any direction. As long as he has good relationships and good friends, then nothing else matters, does it?
Is going gender neutral helpful or hurtful to a young child, assuming that he or she will eventually need to fit into a very engendered world?
Eureka for A-cuppers! Small breasts are back in fashion... Well, if hairstyles and hemlines can trend, why not brassiere sizes, too. So says British fashion guru, Simon Doonan.
“Despite the worldwide embrace of enormous knockers, I remain convinced that the pendulous pendulum will, at some point, begin to swing the other direction,” Doonan wrote on the news site Slate, conceding that the trend comes thanks in part to the risks of leaking breast implants and the recent topless scene by modestly endowed actress Rooney Mara in the U.S. version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
According to Doonan, it's not the first time small breasts were stylish. In the late 1960s icons like Twiggy, Ali McGraw and Mia Farrow were regarded as "cool and highly attractive," even with little to fill their cups.
Call it a backlash against the enormous hooters that have long been en vogue. Case in point: the BBC documentary “My Big Breasts and Me” features big-boobed women griping over back pain, unwanted attention, and feelings of self-consciousness.
Remains to be seen if this trend will prompt a lot of women to go under the knife. Big or small or somewhere in between: be happy with what you've got, yummies, and concentrate instead on keeping them healthy.
Would you alter what God gave you to follow the whims of fashion? | <urn:uuid:e6cbb479-4138-4039-a445-625a4c4ec08c> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.yummymummyclub.ca/blogs/20140812/archive/42/201201?page=4 | 2019-11-22T14:03:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496671260.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20191122115908-20191122143908-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.974227 | 1,137 | [

Thanksgiving is a great meal. Friends and family come together to give thanks and celebrate the harvest season–
…and to overeat.
All of us know the feeling of eating too much, too heavy, too rich. When we should be enjoying our time with loved ones, we are uncomfortable. We exasperate our health conditions and catch a cold. We put on
Pie. Cookies. Chocolate. Eggnog. Champagne.
The holiday season is filled with good foods. You eat and drink with your friends and loved ones to celebrate how much you care about them.
But we all know that too much of a good thing is no longer good.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an approach that involves learning subjects such as biology, geography or others, through an additional language. It can be very successful in enhancing the learning of languages and other subjects, and developing in the youngsters a positive 'can do' attitude towards themselves as language learners.
Our first grade students of Secondary school analysed the cell structure of plants, animals and bacteria using iCell app. Particularly, our students used the above mentioned application on their iPads to explore the different parts of the cells and learn about the way they work.
Through this lesson, our students were given the opportunity to gain some knowledge regarding the cell structure in English, a topic they had already been taught during their Biology classes. Our students enjoyed learning the English terminology of the cell structure and look forward to our next project. | <urn:uuid:aabb3109-7aeb-4129-bede-b4aab2fac375> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.palladio.edu.gr/%CE%9D%CE%AD%CE%B1/ArticleID/1743/TEACHING-BIOLOGY-THROUGH-ENGLISH-A-CLIL-APPROACH | 2019-11-12T21:46:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665767.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20191112202920-20191112230920-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.962742 | 166 | [

Jim Cheated On Pam In The Office and We Can Prove It
If hearing that Jim cheated on Pam in The Office is like an arrow through your heart, American adaptation of the BBC workplace comedy series "The Office," which . working with Athlead, and his relationship with Pam is incredibly strained. He could have fooled us, though, because not only was their chemistry When you think of The Office and Jim and Pam's relationship. Pamela Morgan Halpert (née Beesly) is a fictional character on the U.S. television sitcom The Office, . The office ultimately learns of their relationship in "Dunder Mifflin Infinity". In "Chair Model", after teasing Pam about his impending proposal.
But while she was there, she found out she was pregnant, which resulted in a classicly sweet Jim moment. He was beyond ecstatic to hear the news, and all of season six then resulted in a lot of storylines surrounding Pam's pregnancy.
- Pam Beesly
- 16 Times Jim And Pam From The Office Gave Us Relationship Goals
So when Pam gave birth to Cecelia Halpert, the entire office was there in support. It was a fantastic moment not only for the Halperts but for Michael and the rest of the office as well. The only problem was that Pam had a little trouble getting her daughter to drink her milk.
This ended up making Jim feel very uncomfortable because the consultant turned out to be a man, and he had to get a little handsy with Pam to actually help her with her child. This scenario is beyond ironic and amusing seeing as Jim was playing the jealous husband at that moment on the show when her real-life husband was the one assisting her with his touch. The same was the case when casting was happening for The Office. Additionally, Kathryn Hahn auditioned for the role of Pam. It would have been odd, in retrospect, to see any of those actors in these now iconic roles that we know John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and Rainn Wilson for.
But what is truly surprising is the fact that the people casting the show actually wanted John Krasinski to audition for the role of Dwight Schrute, rather than Jim Halpert. A lot of the time the cliffhanger had everything to do with a milestone in Jim and Pam's relationship. In the season 2 finale, they finally kissed and we were all left wondering what that meant for them now. Would Pam call off her wedding to Roy?
Would they finally start dating?
We soon got our answer in season 3, when Jim was now at the Stamford branch, and Pam and Roy ended up eventually calling off the wedding. But the season 3 finale was an even greater torture. Jim had left his interview with David Wallace to go back to Scranton and ask Pam on a date How they didn't go completely mad from that, I'll never know.
Because of this, she rarely ever spoke up for herself. She would nod along and accept snide remarks being said to her or Roy telling her going to art school is a waste of time and money. Jim would have never even known that was how she really felt, or how much she missed him and the friendship they had before he left.
And therefore, he would have never asked her out in the first place. So why on Earth would anyone want Pam to be a people-pleaser again? She wears her hair down and has updated her old dowdy wardrobe.
Jenna Fischer Reveals The Real Reason Why Jim And Pam Worked On 'The Office'
In the season 4 premiere, " Fun Run ", Jim and Pam confess that they have started dating after the camera crew catches them kissing. The office ultimately learns of their relationship in " Dunder Mifflin Infinity ". In " Chair Model ", after teasing Pam about his impending proposal, Jim tells the documentary crew he is not kidding around about an engagement and shows them a ring he bought a week after he and Pam started dating.
In the next few episodes, Jim fake-proposes to Pam multiple times. In an interview later in the episode, Jim announces that he will propose to Pam that evening. Just as Jim is preparing to propose, however, Andy Bernard stands up and makes his own impromptu proposal to Angela.
Having had his thunder stolen by Andy, Jim reluctantly puts the ring back in his jacket pocket, leaving Pam visibly disappointed as she was expecting Jim to propose that night. In this episode, Jim proposes in the pouring rain at a rest stop, saying that he "can't wait".
In " Business Trip ", Pam learns that she is failing one of her classes and will have to remain in New York another three months to retake it.
Although Jim is supportive and tells her he will wait for her to come back "the right way", she ultimately makes the decision to return home, saying that she realized she hated graphic design and missed Scranton. A deleted scene for the episode shows Jim looking through Pam's graphic design projects, which he thinks are "cool", as well as a notebook filled with pencil sketches, which he finds a lot more impressive than her graphic design projects, implying her talents lie in hand-drawn works.
When David Wallace makes an offer to buy the company Michael negotiates in order to get their jobs at Dunder Mifflin back instead, including adding Pam to the sales team. In " Company Picnic ", Pam, after dominating the company volleyball tournament, injures her ankle during a game and is taken to the hospital against her wishes. At the hospital, the camera crew is stationed outside an exam room while a doctor updates Jim and Pam on her condition. There is no audio as the camera shows Jim and Pam embrace, looking shocked and ecstatic.
It is implied that she is pregnant and is confirmed in the Season 6 premiere, " Gossip ". Jim and Pam marry early in the season, at Niagara Fallsduring the highly anticipated, hour long episode, " Niagara ". The ending of the episode, in which their co-workers dance down the aisle, is an imitation of a viral YouTube video — JK Wedding Entrance Dance.
The two break up during " Double Date ", an episode that ends with Pam slapping Michael in response to his actions. Jenna Fischer was granted naming rights by show producers, and chose to name her after her own niece. In " China ", Pam tries to use her authority as office administrator to force building manager Dwight to stop his annoying cost-cutting measures. Pam threatens to move the office to a new building, which Dwight discovers doesn't exist.
The Office: 15 Crazy Secrets About Jim And Pam’s Relationship
Pam saves face, however, when Dwight secretly has his assistant provide her with a book on building regulations that proves Dwight's measures were not allowed. She also uses her position to buy Erin Hannon an expensive desktop computer to replace the terrible one she had to use for years, as well as discreetly giving Andy a new computer, and giving Darryl three sick days. At the end of the episode she proudly says that she is, "Full on corrupt. Jim figures out Michael's plan to leave early and tells her by text.
Pam reaches the airport in time and is the last person to see Michael before he leaves. Season 8[ edit ] At the beginning of Season 8, Pam is revealed to be pregnant with her and Jim's second child, Philip Halpert.
The child coincided with Jenna Fischer 's actual pregnancy. She begins her maternity leave after " Gettysburg ". In both " Tallahassee " and " Test the Store " Pam is shown helping, and developing her friendship with Andy.
Pam Beesly - Wikipedia
Season 9[ edit ] Early in season 9, Jim is restless about his life in Scranton and helps a friend start a Sports Marketing business, Athlead, in Philadelphia but he keeps it a secret from Pam until the third episode " Andy's Ancestry ". Although Pam is happy for his decision, she is concerned about the fact that he had kept it a secret from her and she is later disturbed to hear about just how much of their money he had invested.
Jim begins spending part of each work week in Philadelphia, but in " Customer Loyalty ", the strain of this on Pam is evident when she breaks down in tears, and is comforted by Brian, the boom mic operator of the film crew.
In " Moving On ", Pam interviews for a job in Philadelphia to be closer to Jim, but she is turned off by the idea when her prospective new boss bears a striking resemblance in behavior to Michael Scott.
Over dinner, Pam reveals to Jim that she doesn't really want to move to Philadelphia after all. However, in " Livin' the Dream ", when Athlead is bought out and Jim is offered a large sum of money for 3 months to pitch the company across the country, Pam overhears Jim refuse the opportunity because of her and appears to have mixed feelings about this decision. Jim asks the camera crew to compile documentary footage of the two of them to show her.
When she finishes the montage, which shows Jim taking back a letter he intended to give her with his teapot gift during Christmas ; Jim finally gives her that letter, and she reads it, visibly moved. In the series finalewhich takes place a year later, she reveals to Jim that she secretly put the house on the market, so that they can move to Austin, Texas, and take his job back at Athlead now Athleap.
Coworker relations[ edit ] From her years working the front desk, Pam has become well-acquainted with the Dunder-Mifflin staff and is consistently shown to have a thorough understanding of her coworkers' personalities, including the more eccentric individuals Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott. She uses this familiarity to manipulate them, often for their and the company's best interests such as her giving the staff elaborate instructions on how to handle a heartbroken Michael in " The Chump " but also occasionally for her own.
This familiarity plays a large part in her efficiency as office administrator and was crucial to her being promoted to the previously non-existent position. Jim Halpert The "will they or won't they" tension between Jim and Pam is a strong storyline in the early episodes of The Office, encompassing much of Seasons 1 to 3.
According to the Washington Post, the scene was supposed to take place in the rain at a gas station and Daniels had envisaged it to take place at an actual rest stop on the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut.
Since the producers were bent on having the gas station proposal scene they decided to recreate it in L. The replica ended up costing more than twice as much as the original scene would have. She kept the ring as a souvenir and allegedly wore it in public after series ended. Fans claimed that she wore the ring during multiple TV appearances. She also appeared to deny claims that she was seen wearing it in public, as she insisted that she did not "wear it in real life. However, the coincidence was welcome and the show gladly exploited it for a realistic portrayal of Pam's pregnancy.
Fischer first publicly announced in May that she was expecting her first baby with her husband Lee Kirk. When fans later learned that the season 8 plot of Fischer's onscreen marriage as Pam to Jim Halpert would involve a second pregnancy, many assumed that the producers decided to run the pregnancy story after they learned that Fischer was pregnant in real life. However, it was later confirmed that the writers had planned the plot twist before they learned that Fischer was pregnant and expecting a baby.
Fischer first confirmed that Pam would be pregnant in season 8 in a July interview with Vulture. According to the plot twist, Pam got pregnant when she sneaked away with Jim on Valentine's Day in the previous season. However, they kept the pregnancy secret until season 8.
Pam had problems breastfeeding her baby, Cecelia Halpert, so she called a lactation specialist to her hospital room. Jim did not hide his disapproval when the male lactation specialist touched Pam as he tried to show her how to properly breastfeed her baby.
Krasinski, of course, knew who Kirk was so he was only playing his onscreen role of Jim Halpert when he appeared to be offended. | <urn:uuid:07fd497d-d30e-403e-bb78-1e2f8dc1ac30> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://ddttrh.info/relationship-between-and/the-office-us-pam-and-jim-relationship.php | 2019-11-14T10:07:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668334.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114081021-20191114105021-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.985657 | 2,517 | [

Yesterday during the end of Rallye Monte Carlo Historique, MINI surprised the crowd with a 2011-spec Countryman S2000 WRC car showcasing it alongside the 1960s Cooper S rally car, that finished the historic car race in 109th place.
The car was driven by former Monte Carlo Rally winner Rauno Aaltonen who was greeted by Dani Sordo and Kris Meeke who will be driving the new Countryman WRC full calendar next year after completing final testing this year.
The MINI Countyman WRC is developed by Prodrive and powered by a 1.6-litre turbo engine derived from the MINI production models that has been developed by BMW Motorsport for use in series running to the FIA Series2000 Regulations, which also includes the FIA World Touring Car Championship.
MINI returns to Monte Carlo with old and new models.
Monte Carlo, 2nd February, 2011. MINI is back in Monte Carlo and this time it is the iconic version that won the famous rally in the sixties meeting up with the latest MINI WRC that sees the brand back on the world rally stage. Rauno Aaltonen (FI) was driving the 1960s version when he was greeted at the end of the Rallye Monte Carlo Historique in the early hours of the 2nd February by Kris Meeke (GB) and Dani Sordo (ES), the drivers who will revive the brand’s rallying tradition this year.
For Meeke and Sordo this is a stop on what is a busy schedule leading up to the first appearance of the MINI WRC on selected FIA World Rally Championship events in 2011, prior to a full assault on the championship in 2012. However, before that they will be heading from Monaco to Spain to put their brand new test car through its paces. Then on the 13th April comes the official launch of the MINI WRC Team at the plant in Cowley, Oxford (GB) where MINI models are produced.
Aaltonen, who won the 1967 Monte Carlo Rally in a works Mini, covered 4,101 kilometres on the rally that took him and his co-driver, Helmut Artacker, from the start in Marrakech on the 26th January to the principality’s harbour for the finish in the early hours of the 2nd February. His comments on the event were: “It has taken us a long time to get here and it was a good trip. In the old days a Mini in rallying form was rather uncomfortable, but in this Mini we had modern shock absorbers and it was so comfortable that after over 4,000 kilometres I am not tired at all. There was snow in places, but we were not told about this so we did not have the appropriate tyres and so lost over a hundred places. It was really busy on this last leg, we were really fighting hard and it was a great atmosphere.”
Also in Monte Carlo to greet Aaltonen was another famous Mini driver, Paddy Hopkirk from Northern Ireland, who won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964. Remembering that time he said: “It is very interesting to be here and I was delighted to see Rauno looking so well and the car looking so good. It is just great to see it all being revived. When we won it was not just motorsport news, but front page news and I even got a telegram from the Beatles and the Prime Minister and I was given the keys to Belfast. I do admire the talents of these guys. Kris took me around the Prodrive test track in the MINI WRC and it was absolutely fantastic.”
Meeke and Sordo are both keen to start their rally programme. “It is great for Dani and me to be competing for MINI and taking up that legendary spirit . Everything is going extremely well and I think the fundamental DNA of the car is very, very good. At this early stage of the development everyone is really excited as it seems to be hitting all the targets that were set out in the development phase, ” said Meeke.
Sordo was also relishing the task ahead of him: “I have driven the car less than Kris but I have been on both tarmac and gravel. Honestly the feel of the car was really good. We still need to improve in certain areas, but this is normal because the car is new. Our MINI is new to rallying but in Prodrive we have a lot of experience and they have achieved many things in the sport. Kris and I will try to do the best we can. At the moment the car is really good and getting better and better.”
The MINI WRC is based on the MINI Countryman and is powered by a 1.6-litre turbo engine derived from the MINI production models that has been developed by BMW Motorsport for use in series running to the FIA Series2000 Regulations, which also includes the FIA World Touring Car Championship. The MINI WRC has been developed by Prodrive, one of the most experienced and respected operations in rallying. This UK based company from Banbury has no less than six World Rally Championship titles to its name. | <urn:uuid:f08fe33e-6d8d-4d5b-b8a2-513e363f6797> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.gmotors.co.uk/news/mini-shows-countryman-wrc-in-monte-carlo/ | 2019-11-15T21:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668712.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20191115195132-20191115223132-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.983321 | 1,082 | [

December 9, 1968 is the birthday of the computer mouse. On this day the American inventor Douglas Engelbart of the Stanford research Institute in the conference on computing in San Francisco demonstrated in the work of the world’s first computer mouse.
This invention represented a wooden cube on wheels with one button. His name computer mouse owes to the wire — he was like the inventor of the tail of a real mouse.
Idea made by Engelbart was interested in the Xerox company. Its researchers changed the design of the mouse, and it became similar to the modern. In the early 1970-ies the company Xerox introduced the mouse as part of a personal computer. It had three buttons instead drives the ball with rollers, and cost $ 400!
In 1983, Apple released its own model of a single-button mouse, the cost of which has been reduced to $ 25. The wide popularity of the mouse acquired through the use of Apple Macintosh computers and later on Windows for the IBM PC.
Modern computer mice are divided into two types: mechanical and optical. Recent devoid of mechanical elements and to track the movement of the manipulator relative to the surface using optical sensors. In addition, for the sake of convenience, you can buy a “tailless” wireless mouse.
