Kingsport Power Company—doing business as AEP Appalachian Power—has made a filing with the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA) requesting an increase in its base electric rates.
AEP Energy said Sept. 23 that it has partnered with the City of Clyde, Ohio, to design, build, own and operate a 3.6-MW solar energy array.
TECO Energy announced Sept. 21 that it has closed the sale of its coal mining subsidiary, TECO Coal LLC, to Cambrian Coal Corp., a Booth Energy company.
The University of Notre Dame announced Sept. 21 that the university will cease burning coal entirely within five years, and cut its carbon footprint by more than half by 2030.
Industry witnesses were lining up Sept. 11 to take shots at a proposal by the Ohio Power unit of American Electric Power to protect the futures of about 3,100 MW of coal-fired generation through a power purchase agreement it wants approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
American Electric Power announced Sept. 10 that 7,209 MW of the company's unregulated generation fleet in the PJM Interconnection market cleared the capacity auction for the 2018-2019 delivery year, representing all of the capacity that AEP Generation Resources bid into the auction.
Responding to a notice of appeal from several states, including coal-reliant West Virginia and Kentucky, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency told a federal court that its Clean Power Plan can't be appealed because it is not final until it is published in the Federal Register.
Gas, wind and solar resources continue to dominate the new generation landscape, with investment in the United States from 2015 to 2018 in gas resources, for instance, representing 109.3 GW, or 65%.
Kentucky Power on Aug. 28, in a twice-yearly fuel report filed at the Kentucky Public Service Commission, was essentially making the last such report where its 800-MW, coal-fired Big Sandy Unit 2 ran for the full period before being retired. | 2019-04-23T22:27:13 | http://generationhub.com/term/american-electric-power |
The Philippines loses about 220 billion pesos annually due to high prevalence of undernutrition among children. This was highlighted at the launch of two costing studies today that call on the government for better public investment and policy reform to improve children’s nutrition and avert the country from economic loss.
The Department of Health (DOH) and the National Nutrition Council (NNC), along with the Philippine Legislators’ Committee on Population and Development (PLCPD) and UNICEF launched the Economic Consequences of Undernutrition in the Philippines and the 2017 Global Nutrition Report at the House of Representatives. The two studies carry empirical and scientific evidence that are aimed to guide legislators in prioritizing investments for nutrition through the national budgeting processes.
“This situation cannot remain unchanged. Strategic investments and policies are needed if the country is serious about development. We must continuously work in the government to ensure sufficient and sustainable allocations for nutrition programs and policies; and never hesitate in investing in the health and nutrition of our country’s future: the children,” said Rep. Jocelyn Limkaichong, Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Ways and Means and member of the Committee on Appropriations.
The costing study on undernutrition reveals that the Philippines loses approximately 220 billion pesos per year due to the effects of undernutrition such as stunting, anemia, and iodine deficiency. This is equivalent to 1.5% of the Philippine GDP in 2015. This can be countered by investments in nutrition, which return around 12 dollars in foregone earnings or health expenditures due to undernutrition for every dollar spent in targeted nutrition interventions.
“Malnutrition robs our children of their foundational health and fundamental right to survive, thrive and reach their full potential. If not addressed immediately, these children will remain as outliers in society, with poor performance in school and low productivity as adults in the future. Thus, if not mitigated, this situation perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Only healthy children can have the chance to succeed in life,” said UNICEF Philippines Representative Lotta Sylwander.
Meanwhile, the 2017 Global Nutrition Report highlights the interrelatedness of nutrition with 12 out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This means eradicating malnutrition will contribute significantly to the overall development of the country.
“The Philippines is already considered a trailblazer on nutrition policies in the international community. But we have much work to do since the situation of undernutrition among children is worsening: the Philippines is still one of the nine countries in the world with most cases of stunting, or too short for age, and wasting, or too thin for height, among children. So we encourage everyone to join us in the Scaling Up Nutrition or SUN movement of the Philippines,” said DOH Assistant Secretary Bernie Flores.
“Mainstreaming nutrition in the development agenda is one of the best approaches that government can adopt to accelerate economic and social progress and at the same time fulfilling the people’s right to a happy and healthy life. This is the reason why we in the civil society will never tire in pushing this government to consider all strategies that put people at the center when designing its development agenda. A stronger political will can transform our goals into sustainable action. Together, let us hold one another accountable for our commitments and make sure that our actions will lead to concrete improvements in the nutrition situation of our country,” said Mr. Romeo Dongeto, PLCPD Executive Director as he closed the launch.
Representatives from Congress including Teddy Baguilat, Bernadette Herrera-Dy, Jocelyn Limkaichong and Anna Villaraza-Suarez, as well as executive agencies represented by Undersecretary Luzviminda Ilagan of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Assistant Cabinet Secretary Evelyn Dela Cruz Cruzada, Assistant Secretary Bernardita Flores of NNC, and Assistant Secretary Ernesto Perez of Department of Trade and Industry signified their support to sustain and scale up investments in nutrition. | 2019-04-19T10:58:09 | https://www.plcpd.org.ph/philippines-losing-p220bn-every-year-as-a-result-of-child-malnutrition-costing-study-calls-on-government-for-strategic-investment-and-policies/ |

Sift icing sugar into large bowl. Mix in milk and lemon juice until smooth. The icing should be the thickness of honey. If texture is too thick, stir in additional milk 1 tsp (5 mL) at a time. If icing is too thin, stir in additional sifted icing sugar, about 2 tbsp (30 mL) at a time.
Divide icing into 5 or 6 small dishes or cups. Mix a few drops food colouring into each dish to create assorted colours.
Use small, clean paintbrushes -- one for each colour -- to brush icing onto plain sugar cookies. Keep brushes in their own dish to avoid mixing up colours. To avoid smearing, try not to brush additional colours on top of wet icing. Icing on cookies will harden after about 15 min. | 2019-04-20T21:17:17 | https://www.safeway.ca/recipes/paintbrush-icing-for-sugar-cookies |

‘Women human rights defenders have flooded the streets, the airwaves, and the internet with their energy and their testimonials, bringing to light truths that are too often buried in darkness’ said a group of UN experts, recognising the important leadership role of women activists.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, UN experts issued a public statement expressly recognizing the work and challenges of women human rights defenders.
Independent experts working on the elimination of discrimination against women in law and practice, on violence against women, on protecting human rights defenders and on ending extrajudicial killings made a joint call with the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
ensure due diligence of Statesin protecting women human rights defenders that are threatened by non-State actors.
They expressed particular concern over those who have suffered reprisals for their engagement and participation in UN human rights mechanisms and processes. ‘Participation in the work of the international human rights system is in itself a right and must never be met with intimidation or attacks’ the experts stated.
The joint statement of UN experts follows from an informal discussion with members of the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and civil society to put forward suggestions for the Committee to strengthen their work and protection.
Pooja Patel, Programme Director at the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR), underlined the specific nature of risks women face in fighting for human rights. “Women human rights defenders are being threatened, harassed, intimidated, stigmatized, jailed, forcibly disappeared, and killed because of their work to promote human rights”, said Patel. ‘It is of grave concern that the targeting of WHRDs is increasing globally, yet the Committee can play an important role in authoritatively setting out the legitimacy of their work and strengthening the framework for their protection’ she added.
A feminist activist from the Bahamas highlighted how difficulties faced by WHRDs in their work are significantly based on gender, gender identity, and how gender is perceived in society. “When you combine this with the challenges of being at constant risk, you can get an understanding of what it is to be at the frontline” she further explains.
The particular risks and threats, together with specific protection needs of WHRDs, have been analysed in various reports from different UN human rights mechanisms. Yet, women defenders often dedicate the limited space available for civil society in different fora to highlight human rights violations, and do not always bring attention to the threats and attacks they face themselves.
A woman defender working on minority rights in Thailand explained how hate speech campaigns online have specifically targeted WHRDs in her country. “Violations continue to persist, but it is very meaningful that CEDAW continues to bring up these cases and the specificities of the situation of women human rights defenders” she added.
ISHR welcomes the Committee’s efforts to underline the vital role played by women defenders in ensuring the effective realization of the rights contained in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. “We encourage the Committee to strengthen its ongoing work in supporting WHRDs and their meaningful participation in both national and multilateral fora”, declared Patel. | 2019-04-22T05:18:56 | https://www.ishr.ch/news/whrd-l-women-human-rights-defenders-making-immeasurable-contributions-say-un-experts |

The following weekly markets are held in the Region of Murcia on Thursdays.
The listing was updated in May 2018.
Markets may be cancelled or altered due to bad weather and local or regional holidays: if in doubt, check with the local tourist office.
Street markets are always popular with both locals and visitors to the region, selling a vast range of products including fresh produce, bargain clothes and footwear, plants and flowers and household goods: the larger the market, the more variety on offer!
Watch out for pickpockets, and be careful with purses and wallets, particularly those stowed in handbags which can disappear in a flash when rummaging through a pile of vegetables.
Take old plastic bags to recycle rather than using new and consider buying a shopping trolley if intending to fresh produce regularly as it is considerably easier than carrying heavy bags.
La Aljorra (Cartagena) - see map, Calle San Antonio.
Balsicas in the municipality of Torre Pacheco. This is a small weekly market and is unusual in that it takes place on a Thursday afternoon, rather than in the morning (see map).
Lorca - the main weekly market is held at the Huerto de la Rueda next to the Santa Quiteria fairground and conference centre, except during the Feria de Lorca in September when it temporarily moves to Calle Tomás Arderius. The fair contains some 240 or so stalls, most of them offering clothes, food and footwear, although it is also possible to buy leather goods, jewelry and various sundry items. Click for map.
The two main weekly street markets in the city of Murcia are both held on Thursday morning, in Avenida La Fama and the district of Santa María de Gracia (mainly in Calle Auditórium, behind the Hospital de la Vega and the Parque de Fofó).
Both are extremely popular, and anyone visiting should certainly not expect to complete their shopping in a hurry! However, if they are popular it is not because shoppers expect to be able to make speedy purchases, but due to the huge range of fresh food available at attractive prices, and to the very wide range of other goods offered at the hundreds of stalls (650 in La Fama and almost 200 in Santa María de Gracia).

No Milkweed, No Monarchs: Why Asclepias Plants Are So Very Important!
Although it won’t be official until mid-March, when the Mexican government releases the winter’s population count, ‘unofficial’ reports are anticipating a rather small migrating population. These unofficial reports are coming from the El Rosario Sanctuary in Mexico (see video example from 2016 at the end of this post); a site that can sometimes be the winter home for over 50% of the entire monarch population in Mexico. Reports and photos show butterflies densely covering approximately 18 trees. That’s good news, but last year, reports were that 50 trees were covered.
That’s not good news, but it is a call to action: PLANT MORE MILKWEED!
Humans are a fickle bunch, and try as I might, they are hard to figure. Say one thing, mean another. Say one thing, find out it wasn’t true. Commit to one thing, then change courses. Not saying I’m any different, but the dependability of nature (well maybe not weather) is something that brings me a lot of comfort. Cycles that repeat; you sort of come to depend on them. Geese come south, geese go north. Jenny wrens nesting in the same clay pots they used the year before. My mother in law’s daffodils emerging in late February, as they have been since she planted 30+ years ago. Even the sturgeon have decided the river is clean enough to make a comeback. We brought them to the brink of extinction, then we decided to bring them back. See what I mean? Fickle.
The monarch migration is the longest known insect migration on earth. | 2019-04-20T06:51:01 | http://theherbexchange.com/category/exploring/page/2/ |

A recent survey by Uplogix found 70% of IT executives want automated control over fault diagnosis and recovery tools.
The survey, which polled 300 IT and network managers who run massive remote networks, found that more than 70% of respondents are looking for automated control over fault diagnosis and recovery tools.
"People really have a need for better automation of day-to-day management," said Bill Talbot, marketing director for Austin, Texas-based Uplogix Inc., a vendor of appliances for distributed networks.
The phone survey, which was conducted for Uplogix by Austin, Texas, research firm ReachForce, focused on companies with $500 million or more in annual revenue from several verticals, including financial services, utilities, retail, manufacturing and healthcare. All respondents were IT executives with network, telecom or LAN/WAN responsibilities. On average, Talbot said, respondents were from companies with more than 100 distributed offices. About 25% of respondents said they have more than 500 remote locations. The survey also found that around 85% of workers are not stationed at a company's headquarters.
According to the survey, only 7% of respondents said they didn't need or wouldn't consider network automation tools. More than 60% said they needed automated tools to manage their networks for remote network access, as well as for network configuration, routine network maintenance, fault diagnosis and disaster recovery. More than 35% said they needed automation in all of those areas. The two areas where respondents cited the greatest need for an improved level of automation were remote fault diagnosis -- 72% -- and recovery -- 69%.
"These networks are becoming more distributed and more diverse," Talbot said. "The cost of trying to support these remote locations is increasing all the time. It's become a bear of a job for IT folks always looking for tools to minimize cost and time."
Elsewhere, the survey found that 60% of companies have either implemented or are planning an out-of-band approach to improve management of distributed network locations.
Dennis Drogseth, vice president of Boulder, Colo.-based research firm Enterprise Management Associates, recommended companies should look to out-of-band options to avoid having the entire network fail in the event of a power outage.
"More businesses should investigate the benefits of out-of-band management," Drogseth said. "The technology can provide better control over remote devices and reduce remote support costs for branch office networks that are becoming increasingly more complex and more demanding to support." | 2019-04-20T18:10:32 | https://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/news/1155455/Survey-Managers-crave-automated-management-tools |
If you have not guessed yet, that man was Neil Armstrong, and the occasion was the moment that man first set food on the moon, wearing the spacesuits of our own American astronauts. But that day – that achievement – reaches deeper than a single moment by a spacecraft. It would not have been possible without the dedication of thousands of Americans working together.
Landing on the moon was an emblematic moment that represented years of engineering, scientific achievement, and cooperation on the part of countless Americans. From President Kennedy’s call to action at Rice University in 1962, it took Americans less than a decade to walk on the moon. From family members of the crew to the number crunchers and physicists at NASA, landing on the moon was a unifying collaboration that raised the spirits of Americans everywhere and reminded us that we can reach the stars, as long as we have a vision.
There was an astounding amount of meticulous labor that was poured into the Apollo moon mission. Mr. Armstrong’s carefully chosen words convey a wise and unifying sentiment. America, though acting as a leader in the world, acts on behalf of all mankind. This historic moment proved that the beauty of American cooperation is not just in the quality of our accomplishments as a nation, but also in the spirit of unity and welcome that those achievements convey to the whole world.
Many citizens consider the American space program a shining example of the resolve and genius of the American people. While American history is decorated with momentous events, both laudable and terrible, there was an event that unified all people and all nations in wonderment and awe. That event was mankind’s first step on the moon, accomplished by the cooperation of our American space program.
Landing on the moon electrified the world with a sense of unity and pride in human achievement. People across the globe were able to gaze in wonderment at the moon footage, listen to Neil Armstrong’s proclamation that this was a “giant leap for mankind.” This moment in 1969 went beyond nationality and ethnicity. Forgotten were the political distinctions of nations and cold war politics. Landing on the moon was an accomplishment for the entire world. | 2019-04-23T03:54:40 | https://presentationsolutions.org/2012/04/23/the-american-spirit-of-possibility/ |
Frederick Grimke is the last person anyone – including scholars who have recounted the careers of his two sisters Sarah and Angelina in the nineteenth century feminist movement – would have suspected of having a sympathetic interest in women’s rights. An intellectual with quietly held opinions on secession and slavery reflecting his antebellum southern heritage, who spent the last two decades of his life pursuing interests in political theory, he was famous among fellow townsmen for his aversion to female company. But his affection for his sisters and his admiration for what they had achieved in their public careers inspired this essay, “The Rights of Women in a Democratic Republic,” in which he made a remarkably prescient forecast of the vocational future of American women – including married women with children – once given access to higher education.
The essay was nearly lost. Grimke himself had doubts about it, and after appealing to Sarah to help him resolve them, died in 1863 leaving an instruction that it be omitted from the edition of all his writings which his executor published in 1871, in a cheaply fabricated volume with very small distribution. Melhorn’s Epilogue reveals who the executor was, and how he came to disobey the order for the essay’s suppression.
With new research findings revealing Grimke’s influence on his sister Sarah’s writings, and the discovery of feminist issues as an undergraduate debate topic at Yale where he was educated, Melhorn’s Commentary broadens the scope of the history of women’s rights in America. | 2019-04-24T03:51:31 | https://www.archwaypublishing.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-001045478 |

His face is serious. Smile stern, taut cheeks, posture narrowed. I have always found him photogenic. To explain to him why I feel it is inappropriate to take a picture in this setting is to flout my “white boy English,” that eloquent speech imposed upon me as a child, the elaborate words I mastered in order to get good grades in my undergraduate courses, the vocal tones and hand gestures of a PhD candidate—and necessary for any dream of upward mobility. He doesn’t feel the structure around me as I do. Our loving is at the border of our oppositions.
On November 18, 2013, Cruz Marcelino Velazquez Acevedo, a 16-year-old from Tijuana, Mexico, dies on the border. He does not drown in a ditch, a canal, or the Rio Grande, as so many migrants trying to cross over into the United States do. He does not dehydrate in the deserts of Texas or Arizona or California. He is not even trying to cross over to, as so many call it, “illegally migrate.” In San Ysidro, at the border crossing of the United States and Mexico, he dies from an overdose, from too many sips of the liquid methamphetamine he is trying to smuggle over.
20/20 dedicates an episode to Velazquez. The episode’s title is “Life and Death at the Border.” The episode provides a minute-by-minute rundown of Velazquez’s time at the border checkpoint according to the footage made public by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The program includes the testimonies of the two border officers who—accused but never convicted—coerced Velazquez to drink the liquid in order to prove it was not drugs, as the teen had said. They bring in a toxicologist to give expert analysis on what overdoses do to the body, and a former commissioner of the agency who deems the actions of the officers “inappropriate” and “misconduct.” The television program highlights the ruthlessness of the cartels, the lucrative market for methamphetamines, and the violence of the border. The program wraps into an hour the hundreds of years compressed, conflicts, insurrections, and civil wars. As in the title “Life and Death at the Border,” the border, like anytime we say the word “the border,” becomes yet another theory of what the border is supposed to mean.
An installation: a wall of backpacks. All sizes, all colors, all varieties. Each one is considerably dirty, and many are blanched by constant exposure to the sun. What are we looking at? Scratch that: What are we being made not to see?
After more than 10 minutes of suspension, one backpack in particular catches the eye. The backpack is a pink that pops, a plastic-looking pink you see in the Walmart’s Back-to-School section. It is small, and its smallness makes it stand out among so many larger backpacks, a landscape of faded browns and blacks. Plastered on the front of the backpack is Dora the Exploradora. This backpack must have belonged to a little girl who, for one reason or another, had to abandon her backpack along the border of the United States and Mexico. The other details of her life are unknown.
I am 12 years old when my brother dies. My mother and sister ask the coroner, “Was he in a lot of pain when it happened?” I am not present when they ask him, because they do not feel I am old enough, but something tells me, knowing their way of being forcefully insistent, that the coroner told them what they wanted to hear, that he could see the proof of their pain in their eyes. “He felt nothing, absolutely nothing,” they report back, allegedly repeating the coroner’s words verbatim.
But if the coroner is telling the truth, how can he know what my dead brother experienced? Where is the evidence for the existence of this non-pain? My mother and sister feel it is a justice if he felt pain. It corroborates their theories. For if he felt pain, much like we wonder if Velazquez felt pain, we can project all our anger and torment onto the ones responsible for creating the pain: the drunk driver / the United States government. But if there is no pain? If the coroner is right and life, in an instant, in a flash, extinguishes into nothingness, without those human things we call suffering, pain, torture, and violence, what then? How do we justify a life? How do we prove to others that my brother / Velazquez mattered?
7:11 p.m.: Velazquez wipes his forehead.
7:36 p.m.: He starts sweating heavily, his body shaking.
7:48 p.m.: Handcuffed and standing up, Velazquez screams, “mi prima,” “mi hermana,” “mi corazón.” He rocks back and forth. Several officers watch him. The one officer who told him to drink the liquid drugs wipes the sweat from his forehead.
7:51 p.m.: He is strapped into a gurney, eyes rolling into the back of the head, the limbs in a frenzy, the head convulsing.
8:24 p.m.: In the hospital, he is unresponsive, pupils fixed, fixed on the beyond.
8:39 p.m.: Velazquez is put on a respirator.
8:57 p.m.: Velazquez dies from acute methamphetamine intoxication.
In the court of law, in the break rooms of Immigration and Customs, on the big-screen TV of some John and Joanne’s home in the Upper West Side or Springfield or Malibu or Main Street, does this footage prove anything? Can this tell the millions of viewers why he risked it all to traffic drugs into the United States? What brought him to the border the day he died? Any pursuit of a “why” presupposes there is one reason, one cause, one deciding factor that urges bodies to risk everything.
Unable to move from standing in front of the Dora backpack, I take a picture. I concentrate on the backpack. I tell myself to think beyond this blankness I am feeling right now. I do everything I can standing in place, as if some sentence from the void will pull through, some word or clause or syllable will whisper to me, shout at me, tell it to me. The backpack does not open itself up to interpretation.
Visuals without audio: What is on trial is not the voice but the body’s language. One of the officers makes the gesture to drink by bringing hand to mouth. The other officer places the liquid substance before Velazquez and nods his head, encouraging, commanding, enforcing. Velazquez swallows from the bottle of the liquid drug four times, hoping to convince them it is not a drug, so he can cross through, deliver it, and return home without any backlash from the cartels. The incident report filed the same night notes Velazquez “voluntarily” drinks the substance. Protocol, according to the report, is followed.
This report is a document of the United States of America. 20/20’s report is an attempt to counter the federal report with the facts of the matter—the body language, expert opinions, and eyewitness accounts. There is no doubt the viewer will notice the program’s sympathies are with Velazquez. But the solution on offer is nothing more than getting rid of a few bad apples, nothing less, making sure they hire no more bad apples, nothing more.
1) The border, and the many meanings of the border, is not meant to be relived. It is to be tucked away safely in a memory box, dusted on occasion for a brief recollection, but not reexperienced.
2) The border is a trauma, living in the body, triggering and affecting, passed on to other bodies. The border, as E— seems to be suggesting, can manifest even here downtown in New York City, so far from the United States–Mexico border, so far from my undocumented father who now lives in rural New Jersey.
20/20 cites other deaths along the border. A family picnicking on the Mexican side of the border is shot at by border patrol on a boat, killing the father. A teenage boy, accused of throwing rocks across the border, is shot 10 times. A man is tased over and over again by a mob of border-patrol agents for being on drugs. In all cases, no charges are brought against these officers, no protocols against violence are implemented. These flash points of life and of death are innumerable. They define the border as we know it.
On display: a spiral-bound notebook. The pages are warped by water damage. The paper near the metallic binding appears to be eaten away, lined with holes and tears. The front cover, made of plastic, looks melted; the colors are a faded swirl of blue, tan, and black—no doubt the result of a ruthless exposure to sunlight. Though unopened (perhaps even unopenable?), the pages appear blank. One can only surmise that the waves of a river or the soaking in a ditch washed away whatever stories, fragments, or ramblings were contained within them. Or maybe, just maybe, there was nothing yet written down on those pages. Blank pages of journal entries yet to be, poems in process, theories waiting for the right words to explain themselves.
She hesitates, an “ummm” trips on her lips, she nods her head slightly, her facial features formulating the appropriate sentence, the appropriate language, the appropriate face for the camera watching her: “I can’t . . . I heard him screaming.” She looks down at the table before her, wringing out her wrists, eyes red, the biting of the lip. Scene changes.
One officer in particular is zeroed in on. The footage of her testimony is masterfully edited to account for the frequent pauses between speech, downward cast eyes, intelligible language breaking down into unintelligible sounds, a sniffle here and a clearing of the throat there. Guilt can be found in the body of the individual. If the logic of the camera is followed, nations and organizations and corporations and ideologies and systems are incapable of guilt. Their immaterial bodies cannot be recorded, edited, and represented like the testimonies of a human.
We see shootings of unarmed men on a livestream caught on tape by girlfriends, helicopters reporting on the border men beaten to death by a mob, a bystander recording a man dying from a chokehold screaming out “I CAN’T BREATHE! I CAN’T BREATHE!” and no one can imagine governments or mindsets or corporations giving the confidence necessary for individuals to commit such violence. (What would it look like to put a power structure on trial, to make a system testify, to force an ideology to swear on the Bible? Absurd, no doubt, but a limit we ought to challenge.) Motives for the guilty are sought of the individual kind: personal vendettas, hate crimes, ignorance, negligence, and so on and so forth. We are made to believe some humans are just naturally born evil, corruptions of humanity, exceptions to some unspecified norm, a backwardness to be transcended. The promise is that certain kinds of humans, who think in certain kinds of ways, who live their lives in certain kinds of ways, will, eventually, in due time, be phased out. But the question never asked is what ways of living and being in the world are we waiting to extinguish? Because to ask such a question is to confront question, problem, and answer head-on.
E— calls me over to where he is. “Mira . . .” he says, pointing to an object I had overlooked earlier. The object is one sheet of lined paper with writing on it. The sheet appears to have been water damaged, the tint of the page a dark brown as if exposed to muddy waters, the edges of it curled as if fried by the sun. A letter? An essay? Spoken-word poetry?
The letters are blocky, as if the writer was pressing down on the pen hard, belabored. The words are in English. Full sentences cannot be deciphered, but the beginnings of some are as follows: “TheRE GOES my . . .” “LET THE Good . . .” “My BRown eye . . .” One word that reads as “VASANOVA” has the words “we on the,” above it, as if the writer is amending a thought, being more precise with their meaning. Given the free use of uppercase and lowercase letters in these words, I wonder if the writer is an English-language learner, teaching themselves, though imperiled, though endangered, though risking life, a foreign language on the border.
I want to ask E— why he directed me to see this, why this affected him in some way, but it soon hits me: He directs my attention to it because he knows it will have this impact on me. He knows I love studying penmanship, analyzing how a loop, a space between letters, an illegible word can tell us about a life we do not know. He knows writing in all its forms is important to me.
The loose leaf leaves us to our theories.
The toxicology expert 20/20 hired gives the viewer a run-down of what Velazquez is experiencing: blood pressure rising exponentially, a fever spiking, the body unable to cool, delirium, the body working double-time. Chemistry kills Velazquez. The toxicologist needs to emphasize to the reporter interviewing him, “Cruz was in an immense amount of pain.” Immense: an adjective describing quantity, intensity, degrees. Immense as syllables as an adjective as a word as language tries to describe the indescribable. Futile as it may be, the toxicologist uses the word in efforts to describe to us, as best he can, how the body is bound by laws, how the body is testimony, how the body testifies.
About to leave. E— and I are staring at photographs of the Arizona desert where many of the objects in the exhibit were acquired. Though beautiful, though sublime, photographs have a harder time of catching my attention. Too still, possibly.
I turn around from the photographs, and from E—. There are four women looking at a tire I had glossed over earlier, a tire once employed by men to help repair the walls along the U.S.-Mexico border, a tire turned museum object. I didn’t see them enter the exhibition. They look like my tías and primas. One appears to be in her late 30s, and the three others look to be no older than 15. The women are huddled around the tire. Bodies poised in attention. Their brown eyes are the eyes of concentration. What do they contemplate there before the tire? How do they do this combined effort of thought? | 2019-04-23T09:12:20 | https://thenewinquiry.com/border-theories/ |

The development of appropriate and relevant financial advice for clients requires the integration of a range of skills and a substantial body of current knowledge and understanding. This course is divided into two parts: a core and two specialist modules. The core will be covered in the first seven weeks and the two modules will commence in week eight.
Overall, the course adopts a case study approach, designed to apply the expertise and knowledge gained in the other courses of the Masters program. It aims to develop your ability to identify and research issues, consider and evaluate possible alternatives and produce detailed reports in the form of personal financial advice suitable for presentation to clients. The course will guide students to a number of relevant resources, including Internet websites, but the list will not be inclusive and students will be encouraged to complement these with extensive investigation of their own. The course may be viewed as "guided research" and as a precursor to the Research Topic course by development and acquisition of research skills.

It is important to apply yourself to a fairly tight time schedule in order to complete the assigned tasks. You should not hesitate to ask questions or seek direction.
During the period of the core studies, students will be asked to select two of the available modules. These will be conducted on a case study approach similarly to the core case studies. The electives may be conducted by external consultants.
To study this course, the Master in Financial Planning program has been prepared for independent study, and uses methodology appropriate for distance learning. The main study resources in this course are the materials in earlier courses, the recommended texts, supplemented with recommended Internet references. Students are expected to undertake substantial further investigation. You are encouraged to use the Discussion Board to discuss ideas with other students. This approach is designed to develop both research and presentation skills, as well as equip you for the practice of financial planning.
Although you will be required to consider all the issues in each case study, you may be required to only write detailed notes about certain items as directed by the lecturer. Students will receive a copy of a suggested answer/report and comments from the lecturer and/or other consultants by way of the student Discussion Board or on return of written assignments.
leadership: by giving presentations and discussing issues with fellow students and fellow professionals via Internet activities during the course, you can develop confidence, leadership and articulation skills. These skills will be developed through the presentation of the case study reports. | 2019-04-26T06:06:43 | http://www1.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=014181heparta |

Combined company will make Chevron second-largest petroleum producer in the world.
The combined company will remain far behind Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc. in market capitalization, but Chevron will jump from being the world's fourth biggest energy producer, to second, according to Wood Mackenzie.
The cash-and-stock deal announced Friday comes as U.S. crude prices have shot up 40% this year.
Chevron gets access to Anadarko's liquid natural gas operations in Mozambique and it would control a 75-mile-wide corridor across the Delaware Basin, a region bountiful with natural gas.
Oil prices have been on the rise as OPEC members cut production.
OPEC said this week that its output had been slashed by more than a half million barrels a day last month to just over 30 million barrels, a level not seen since early 2015.
U.S. crude was selling for nearly $65 per barrel Friday. But there are signals that global economic growth is slowing.
Shares of Anadarko jumped 33 percent Friday, while Chevron's stock fell 5 percent. | 2019-04-22T08:07:54 | https://www.gosanangelo.com/story/news/2019/04/12/chevron-buying-anadarko-petroleum-33-billion/3449788002/ |

No longer limited to calling other Jaxtr users, the service is taking cue from Skype for its revenue strategy.
Jaxtr, the dial-around service (see Jaxtr makes click-to-call really simple) that lets you make free calls to those people who have at one point called you via the Jaxtr widget, is launching a new service that lets you bypass the step of first connecting with callers via the Internet.
Now you can make "out of network" calls directly from you mobile phone to anyone in the world. These calls aren't free, though. As in Skype, if you want to use this service to call people on regular phones, you've got to buy credits on the system against them. Rates are either good or great, depending on where you're calling: For example, calling a landline or mobile phone in China is one cent a minute, but a call to a mobile in the U.K. is 15 cents a minute.
In order to make out-of-network calls, you call a central Jaxtr number that's local to you, and then tell it who you want to reach. Then it calls you back and connects you--the typical dial-around procedure. But with Jaxtr, you can save the incoming number and use it the next time you want to reach the same person.
Skype has shown that a free telephony service can turn its free users into paying customers. Jaxtr also has another revenue stream: It has a free SMS service, in which message lengths are even more limited than normal text messages to Jaxtr can insert paid 40-character-long ads at the ends of messages.
Jaxtr is also announcing that it has closed a second round of funding: $10 million, led by Lehman Brothers. Jaxtr's first round was also $10 million, and the initial investors are contributing in this B round. | 2019-04-21T22:21:20 | https://www.cnet.com/news/jaxtr-launches-another-new-phone-service/ |

Washington Governor and presidential candidate Jay Inslee said Wednesday that climate change can't be solved unless the Senate filibuster and the Electoral College are both eliminated.
"I don't believe you can be serious about saying you can defeat climate change unless you realize we need to have the filibuster go the way of history because Mitch McConnell has weaponized the filibuster," Inslee said to a gaggle of reporters after a policy forum in D.C. "You can't be serious about having major decarbonization legislation in any near-term without removing the filibuster."
Inslee's entire campaign is focused on the issue of climate change.
He also joined the growing group of Democrats calling for the elimination of the Electoral College, something that has especially irritated the left after the 2016 election.
"These are archaic relics of a bygone age," he said, according to the Washington Examiner. "We need progress. We also need democracy, which is one person, one vote. I've never understood why people who want to block progress like Mitch McConnell get one and half votes and people who want go defeat climate change only get one. That is a recipe for disaster when it comes to climate change."

The building was constructed in 2005 and is well built, of modern materials. It is in all 85 m2, with a large living area, three bedrooms and a large shower room. It is wired for mains electricity, which can be connected. The building is legally correct as a dwelling.
The land has irrigation water, which also provides water for domestic use. There are numerous olive trees and other fruit trees on the land, and there are spectacular views to the south, of the Sierra Lujar and the Guadalfeo valley. Cañar is a beautiful peaceful village a short distance from Orgiva, a market town of 5,000 inhabitants. | 2019-04-20T07:22:45 | https://www.homesespana.co.uk/70000-canar.html |
I am not a hamster, there is a basic problem in the process where drugs get approved in the US. It comes from the fact that the drug companies themselves are expected to provide test results that the FDA is supposed to use to make the determination of whether it's safe or not.
plaintiffs who claimed the drug Vioxx proved fatal or injured its users.
Then people actually wonder why drugs like Vioxx manage to "slip through the cracks" and get approved anyway when later testing by independent people produce findings that, like in the case of Vioxx, prove that it shouldn't have ever been on the market to begin with.
I guess it comes down to two things... the FDA is seriously overworked and understaffed / underfunded. and the drug companies are a VERY powerful force on capitol hill. | 2019-04-21T08:37:50 | http://iamnotahamster.net/215/it-took-em-long-enough/ |

The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising offers a comprehensive overview of political advertisements and their changing role in the Internet age. Travis Ridout and Michael Franz examine how these ads function in various kinds of campaigns and how voters are influenced by them.
The authors particularly study where ads are placed, asserting that television advertising will still be relevant despite the growth of advertising on the Internet. The authors also explore the recent phenomenon of outrageous ads that "go viral" on the web-which often leads to their replaying as television news stories, generating additional attention.
The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising features the first analysis of the impact on voters of media coverage of political advertising and shows that televised political advertising continues to have widespread influence on the choices that voters make at the ballot box.
"The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising combines academic knowledge and the wisdom of experience in election campaigns. It is an important contribution to the fields of political communication and campaigns. I recommend this insightful analysis to political professionals, working journalists, communications specialists, as well as students of campaigning and lobbying. It is an excellent book for university students studying campaigns, political communication, and public relations."
"Travis Ridout and Michael Franz have developed a persuasive message. Using an impressive array of data, they show when ads matter and when they do not matter. As a result, The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising is a book all serious scholars of political communication should have on their shelves."
"The book offers a comprehensive overview of political advertising and its changing role in the Internet age, with an emphasis on television advertising. Marshalling an impressive amount of empirical evidence from recent elections, the authors examine precisely how ads function and influence voters in a variety of campaign environments.... The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising makes a compelling case that exposure to campaign advertising exerts widespread influence on the choices voters make at the ballot box. The authors' incisive analyses and interpretations leave little doubt that campaign ads help shape voter preferences.... This timely and well-written book is a fine example of social science that is highly relevant and readily applicable to practical politics.... A must-read for those involved in professional politics, especially political media and advertising specialists."
"For anyone interested in the role of ads in campaigns, this is a very valuable book. Summing Up: Recommended."
"Ridout and Franz have done scholars of political communication, behavior, and campaigns a great service in writing this book."
"The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising contributes significant insights into campaign advertising for students of political science, journalists, and anyone involved or interested in political campaigns. As a major source of information on candidates, television advertising has a strong effect on American democracy, and this work gives a basis for understanding how it works."
"(T)he book succeeds in establishing the ubiquity of ad impact... The authors have done a masterful job in laying out issues."
"(A) detailed look at the complex effects of political advertising. It is a comprehensive work that analyzes the effects of campaign advertising in Senate and Presidential races across several elections between 2000 and 2008.... The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising makes a strong case that political advertising is related to vote choice and candidate favorability. Even more, the book demonstrates that campaign context, advertising content, and receiver characteristics play a role in explaining when political advertising works.... (T)his book is a persuasive cautionary note against generalizing advertising effects found in one election to another and a productive starting point for those embarking on the difficult task of explaining why variability occurs."

We offer leveling kits for various Toyota Tacoma applications. Kits will help with raising the front end so that your Tacoma is leveled. This will give you increase ground clearance and allow you to add slightly larger tires. Leveling kits will also eliminate the nose-down look that is commonly seen in most trucks. All kits are custom made for various Toyota Tacoma applications.
A common question we get regarding leveling kits is if they will provide load support. The answer is no, leveling kits will level out your but will not support any front end weight. If you added weight to the front of your truck like a plow, we suggest going with a front tacoma timbren kit and coil sumosprings like sumosprings CSS-1094 for the 05-14 Tacoma. | 2019-04-26T08:37:06 | https://www.sdtrucksprings.com/leveling-kits/toyota/tacoma |

YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan Motor Co. announced it has licensed its Around View Monitor and Moving Object Detection technology, jointly developed with Clarion Co for use by Hitachi Construction Machinery Co.
These two systems are the building blocks of autonomous driving technology that will operate commercially viable Nissan Autonomous Drive vehicles by 2020.
The Around View Monitor is a parking support system that offers the driver a bird's eye view of the vehicle's surroundings in real time using four exterior cameras.
MOD is a driving assistance technology that analyzes the images from the AVM cameras to detect moving objects around the vehicle and warn the driver with visual and audio alerts.
Since the market launch of AVM in 2007 and MOD in 2010, both firsts for any automaker, Nissan has steadily expanded its safety technology offerings, which have become a cornerstone of autonomous drive technology development.
The licensing agreement enables Hitachi Construction Machinery to provide AVM and MOD technology to its massive haul trucks and hydraulic excavators working at large open-pit mines.
When drivers start operating the vehicle, drop cargo, back up to load cargo, or when a hydraulic shovel is used in close proximity to the vehicle, the AVM-MOD technology detects any movement or workers in the area around it in real time, enabling the driver to work with greater situational awareness which enhances safety.
Nissan will contribute to the growth of technology through the application of its unique technologies and know-how for its own use as well as in a variety of fields.
Profit generated through the effective use of these intangible assets will be invested in new technology development, further contributing to Nissan's technological competence.
Autonomous Drive is being developed to help lower the element of human error during driving and contribute to a reduction in the number of accidents and injuries related to automobiles.
The licensing of this technology is an example of Nissan's intention to offer the AVM and MOD technology to other industries beyond the automotive sector.
Through the wider application of its safety technologies Nissan aims to do its part in contributing to the development of society.

On the November ballot, there is a straight party box where you may choose to vote a straight party ballot for the party of your choice by darkening the oval to the left of the party of your choice. Upon marking this party oval, all candidates for that particular party will receive a vote.
If you wish to "Split your ticket", you may split your ballot by darkening the oval to the left of the party of your choice under the Straight Party box and then voting for individual candidates in any other party by blackening the oval to voting for individual candidates in any other party by blackening the oval to the left of their name. The precinct counter is programmed to override the straight party vote if an individual candidate of any other party is marked.
No person is allowed to receive assistance in voting unless their registration record indicates the need for assistance or the voter completes and signs a declaration of the need for assistance at the polling place prior to entering the voting booth.

The new version includes many new exciting functions (RBL, RWL, Automatic white listing) and gives you a very granular control over how the filter works. And it’s still available in a free version!
Go and have a look!.
Since I have had a lot of problems with false positives with the black lists that I’m using on my Exchange 2003 server I started looking into another way of filtering spam.
The obvious choice of additional protection fell on greylisting ( you can read more about what it is here ).
The problem with this is that there doesn’t seem to be any free products out there for Exchange and as I don’t want to set up a Linux box ( yet another box in the rack ) I decided to write one myself.
Usually i receive 3500-4000 spam attempts per day so that means that 70 mails a day are slipping trough. These 70 get matched to a blacklist that is not that aggressive and the result of this is that my spam level has gone down to almost 0% while I haven’t had a single false positive yet.
About the program. It consists of two parts.
Greylist installs as a .dll and connects to the SMTP service’s OnInboundCommand RCPT. It reads it configuration from Greylist.cfg and uses Greylist.mdb for logging entries. It also produces a log file in the log directory.
Greylist admin creates and configures the above files as well as controls the settings and the white list.
Continue blocking for X minutes.
Block by Source IP, Sender email address, Recipient address all together or in any combination.
White list (always allow) by Source IP, Sender email address, Recipient address or in any combination.
Clean out entries older then X days on the first session of the day.
Stores data in a Microsoft access database, .mdb or in a MsSQL db.
Configures: Block for X minutes, Max age in X days, White list.
Configures which items to use when blocking by Source IP, Sender email address, Recipient address all together or in any combination.
Displays blocked items and passed items in totals.
Displays current items in database.
Displays block rate in % according to all entries in the database.
Registered users can now set how Greylist will behave on a blocked item. It can either send the 451 message and then disconnect (default) or keep the session alive and accept more recipients.
Registered users can now change the message Greylist sends out. This is especially great for corporate usage where each company can have a custom message.
For the rest Greylist stays the same for unregistered users.
Added new tab with controls for Disconnect on 451 and 451 message.
Even though Greylist has been succeeded by JEP(S), the download links remain here for reference.

Nada. Nothing. It’s for free!
See it as a contribution to a better world A free contribution! I’ve released this under a Creative Commonce license, which comes down to that you can use it and redistribute it as long as you refer to me and this site while using any part of my program. The full license is available in the readme file.
Register it! It will cost you 50 euro (about 65 USD) and will support the continued development and you’ll get access to the customization options for how Greylist behaves on the communication level.
The registration license will be mailed to you as soon as I’ve registered the payment.
And if your boss wants an invoice – no problem! I’ll mail that to you upon request.
The program is distributed ‘as-is’ and I don’t intend to provide any support for it.
But feel free to send me any suggestions to improvements or your own modifications.
remote SSE install when the 3rd party vendors couldn’t get their own product to work.
they released SSE to market – so their isn’t any documentation!! Lucky us.
are onto a terrific little applet here.
I have been using Greylist for a couple of weeks now and have found it very useful, it has blocked 180,000 messages since we’ve started using it and has stopped a lot of emails that our GFI MailEssentials was failing to block.
One thing I think could be changed is in the way the database cleanup is applied. As I don’t have the IP address checking enabled then over time you will get spam from/to the same sender/recipient causing all future spam from such pairs to get through.
I think it’s save to assume that if the First Seen and Last Seen timestamps are the same and over 24 hours old then it is not going to be resent and is probably spam. The clean up function could look for this and delete those entries, the database would be much smaller then. I have added a query to the Access database to do this for me.
Following on from this, is there an easy way compact the database? Access is especially wasteful with regards deleted records and I find the database can grow to 100MB in a couple of days. To run a compact on the database I am having to disable Greylist to remove the file locks and then enable again afterwards.
I came across this tool and it looks to be a good tool. There is one issue I faced. After applying this on exchange server, I had socket errors when trying the email test on dnsreport.com so I restarted the server and it went fine. Maybe it is mandatory step and has to be in manual for product.
Usually my own email account got about 50-100 spam emails each day. I used to run with the GFI sollution, but it kept crashing our server, and let quite a few span-emails through. This has let 3 spam-mails through during a 3 week period! I am running with the built-in exchange “intelligent filter” along side with greylisting, and have made a short “whitelist” of domains, and it works perfect!
If you are using the SQL DSN and you lose connection to your server, what happens? Does the software fail back to the Jet DB locally? Does it stop greylisting until the connection is restored?
If that happens then it will fallback to not blocking / greylisting emails until the database connection is restored. It will try to restore the connection every couple of minutes automatically. Then it will log these error sessions with code 999 in the logfile.
This has been tested quiet extensively to make sure that it works correctly – and it does.
What’s changed from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1?
Gmail accounts seem to be blocked completly. When it resends the first and last timestamps are always the same. I’ll update later if this changes for me. Also is there a way to track which email are passed?
Micheal: I’ve posted a reply to your question in the community forum –> here.
Ahh Nevermind. Gmail uses multiple servers, blocking by IP address kills these for a while.
1) from the /23 part, you generate the subnet mask. This is an unsigned 32 bit integer with the 23 upmost bits set.
Thanks! I’ve choosen another path though.
I’m not converting the IP’s to serials and then do a more then less then comparison between the source ip.
This will be implemented in the next major version which ‘might’ come in a month or so.
1,000,000 spams stopped and counting!
Hi Chris, just thought I’d pop you a quick note. We’ve got the registered version running on a dozen or so servers now – just on our 8 top servers we have prevented over 1,000,000 spam emails reaching the servers.
As for the latest (couple of days ago) Trojan that is trying to spread by email – well, all we’ve noticed is the greylist logs are a little bigger.
Thank-you very much for your wonderfull tool: it really works as expecded stopping tons of spam mails per day.
Can this be configured so that it only works on one domain? As I host mail, I do not want to annoy customers while I test this.
Heyden Kirk: Unfortunately not. The next version (2.0) which is still under development will have a function for ‘learning’. This means that it does all the processing while no mails are blocked so that the filter gets to know you senders email patterns.
I had a slight issue with the greylist program recently, it was running amazing for about a week and then all of a sudden it stopped allowing email to get through. I disabled and then re-enabled to see if that made a difference, disabled, deleted the directory downloaded a new copy and started it up and same thing, full blocking of all email to the server. Is there anything I can check because while it worked, it ran like a champ.
Problem is, in this way i am not able to identify the original user who is sending email to my gmail account. For example if Sue at [email protected] sends an email to my gmail account and it gets forwarded to my test domain account it will have the same format in the database as i mentioned earlier. Since from the database i would never know that email came from Sue, what would be the way to identify the original user of the email?
My guess was that since my gmail account is already been whitelisted, when Sue sends me an email it really dosent matter if i whitelist her email separately because my gmail account is already in the whitelist.
I apologize if my language here is a bit confusing. Any help on this would be appreciated. I would love to implement this in my real environment.
I have problem to get e-mail through while having greylist enabled. I am running version 1.3.1.
I have tried disable and then enable it again. I don’t know what to do. I have also tried download a new copy.
Greylist have worked great for about 6 months, but now something have happened.
I have had some problems with this on certain customers servers. Here are some tips to help those of you in trouble.
After creating a database and enabling the Greylist sink, sometimes all mail will be blocked. Greylist admin will also report nothing.
There is another problem where you have run the enable command too many times. This creates more than one sink. I have found this to be a huge problem and not even realising it.
Hi. Just added this great tool to a site. It look fine, but i realized after 1-2 hours that it was not so happy to talk to some mail servers. In the log it said “SMTP – 250”, but on the sending server it said “host dropped connection”. I tried everything of the above things. At last i had to drop using it. Any ideas ??
P.S. Really sorry about that because greylisting i a smashing good techique.
I also noticed that messages with status 250 in log file are dropped.
has someone any ideas to fix this bug ?
This mails are “return receipt, delivered or read messages” and JEPs are blocking this messages.
I think that is a huge bug.
Lars: Regarding the ‘interesting problem’; it’s not a lot message you see, but the autowhitelist in action.
When you have it active then when a outbound mail is sent, then the recipient email address gets added to the inbound sender whitelist. This gets logged in the listener like that.
After x hours then the sender email address gets automatically removed.
Thus, not a bug – it’s a feature.
I would just like to say thanks for taking the time to write one of the most amazing programs I’ve ever seen.
I’m planning on registering our copy as soon as I can get it approved.
I have just installed this on a server running 2003 and Exchange 2003. Emails are coming straight in from everywhere with no delay at all. he system is also running Symantec’s Mail Security for Exchange, do I need to uninstall this first?? Also, when I telnet to port 25 on the server it still appears that Exchange service is listening, should the SMTP banner look different?
Seems like it’s not activated. Have you enabled it?
Normally Greylist works fine with other spam products, but ofcourse there’s no guarantee. I know that other people use Symantec’s products together with Greylist.
The banner should not change as it’s not replacing the IIS SMTP service.
More questions? –> Look in the Greylist forum.
You rock! Thanks for the great tool. A solid Directory Harvesting Attack killer is what I was looking for.
This looks great. Thanks, and I’m looking forward to trying this out.
i have been using version 2.0 for almost over 3+ weeks and it works great. Blocks tons of spam and very very easy to configure. I did not see anything that i would say is wrong at the moment. Cant wait for the final version.

I used greylist in linux, http://www.logistic-china.combut now Exchanger can use it. Thanks for your job.
will there be an ‘upgrade license’? we’ve paied for 1.3 just some weeks ago and were pretty satisfied with the solution. now we’re wondering if everybody has to pay these € 150 ..
Christian: No worries – if you already have a Greylist license then you will recieve a cupon code that can be used for getting a €50 reduction on JEP(S). These codes will be sent out in the next coming weeks.
(1) If you get a 250 in your logs *and* mail is not coming in, try stopping any other antispam solution and/or running “iisreset” again. On two servers, I found the following to be the case.
This last step suggests to me that something is awry with either Trend Micro’s antispam solution and/or this greylisting dll.
(2) 200 replies in log might be result of blank entries in the whitelist portion of your MS Access DB. When you get a 200 error, you still seem to get mail, even spam. To fix this, try deleting the blank entries and run “iisreset” from the command line. (200 reply = “nonstandard success response”, see RFC 876).
(3) I created a “greylist-bounce.bat” file in my greylisting folder to “fix” things when mail seemed to mysteriously stop working. For whatever reason, that seemed to work.
(4) Incoming mail from Gmail and Hotmail (dunno about Y!) might a huge problems in some environments. On one server, new mail from Hotmail got bounced a couple of times, and new mail from Gmail would range from like 5 minutes to several hours (like 12). I have my suspicions why this is the case (different IPs, different policies on different servers, etc), but the bottom line is that this could be very frustrating for users and possibly lethal to your job if, say, the CEO sent a super important email from his gmail account to someone to the Exchange server. This criticism is more directed to greylisting as a whole, rather than GRYNX in particular.
(5) I have found this program to be 90% to 99 to 100% effective. On the server where it was 99 to 100% effective, most of the spam seemed to be dictionary attacks and/or email sent to an old domain that the Exchange server had in its recipient policy (e.g. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc). On the server where it was 90% effective, a lot of the crap spam seemed like stuff that users had subscribed to (coupons, job board sites, etc). This type of spam is much harder to deal with, as it seems to adhere to proper RFC standards.
(6) This solution is good quick fix if you’re in a pinch and need something fast and free. Ultimately, if you’re running Exchange and need a “free” greylisting spam solution that is enterprise-worthy, you’ll probably want to put some sort of postfix/tumsgreyspf-like box in front of your Exchange server. GRYNX is a very cool project, and while I thoroughly appreciate the hard work that has gone into it, I think that something like tumsgreyspf is much better suited for mission critical environments (the admins at RealityKings.com use it, in fact). GRYNX “works”, but only if you’re willing to fiddle and goof around a bit before you roll it out on your production servers. If you’ve got that much time to burn, then perhaps consider implementing postfix/tumsgreyspf to begin with.
As the saying goes, fast, free, and good — pick any two!
Thanks for your feedback – this is very valuable to us in developing the new versions.
We’ve released a new version under a new name, JEP(S), and under another website, http://www.Proxmea.com, which addresses all of the issues in your feedback. Be sure to check it out!
(1) This is no longer an issue as JEP(S) handles all installation of the sinks. Further is there a smart tool included (View sinks) which helps in positioning JEP(S) correctly together with other mail add-on’s.
(2) Also no longer an issue, fixed in JEP(S).
(3) No longer an issue, see 1.
(4) No longer an issue. JEP(S) can use Realtime White Lists (RWL’s) which identifies especially large companies. When in use then the SourceIP is exluded in the processing.
(5) We also include tarpitting in JEP(S) which protects against harvesting attacks.
(6) I hope that you, after reviewing, see that JEP(S) is a lot more mature and that it’s more aimed at the enterprise market – without letting go of all installations in smaller systems. | 2019-04-23T10:19:14 | http://www.grynx.com/projects/greylist/ |

The industry is anticipated to almost triple in size in the coming years with the market expected to reach US $9.7 billion by the year 2022.
Global Ayurveda Summit in Kochi found that 77 percent of Indian households used them in 2017. This is up from 69 percent of households in 2015.
The rise of ayurveda is being fuelled by growing emphasis on the importance of healthy lifestyles, suggested the report prepared by Powerwaterhouse Coopers (PwC) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
This is against the backdrop of India’s rising rates of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which the report credits with encouraging more and more people to look after their health.
To this end, many Indians are turning to Ayurveda and other alternative medicine systems and treatments, such as unani, siddha, naturopathy, and homoeopathy.
Speaking at the event, Governor of Kerala P Sathasivam welcomed the news. He spoke positively of the Centre “[giving] priority to mainstreaming indigenous medicine systems” in the 2017 National Health Policy.
He credited this with giving “a policy boost” to “Indian medicine systems, such as Ayurveda.” The state was identified in the report as being well-positioned to lead the growth of ayurveda in the coming years.
To build on the industry’s growth in India, PwC and the CII encouraged the use of technologyby the ayurvedic industry to satisfy demand. It also said that quality control standards need to be enforced if ayurveda is to be successfully launched at the international level.
The Centre has been keen to promote traditional systems of medicine in recent years. It established the Union Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) in 2014.
The Modi government has been keen to promote AYUSH both at home and abroad, constructing state-of-the-art homoeopathic laboratories and showcasing the industry at international conferences.
This is fuelling growing uptake of AYUSH. Not only do 77 percent of households use Ayurveda, there has been a fifty percent increase in patients seeking homoeopathic treatment in the past five years.
AYUSH’s increased popularity is being observed not only among Indians, but also among international visitors. Some analysts have credited AYUSH with driving – at least in part – the rapid growth of India’s medical tourism industry.
This is not to say that AYUSH treatments cannot be of some public health benefit. For example, homoeopathic treatments may lessen overreliance on antibiotics and other medicaments for ailments such as the common cold.
Some evidence has been produced, suggesting the merit of alternative approaches such as music therapy to mental healthcare, as well as the potential value of turmeric in the fights against arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.
There is a clear scientific consensus surrounding the limitations of what AYUSH can offer in terms of health. As such, the rising popularity of such treatments may seem baffling to some.
Yet the industry’s continual growth on the backbone of near-incessant government promotion and largely positive coverage in the media does seem to indicate that, for the foreseeable future, AYUSH is here to stay. | 2019-04-24T06:10:13 | https://www.clipper28.com/en/ayurvedic-products-increasing-popularity/ |

Oak regeneration research in the United States has been ongoing in earnest since the late 1950s. Most research has focused on specific silvicultural practices, regeneration processes, site characteristics, and local limiting factors such as deer browsing or interfering species. Research has evaluated the effects of thinning on regeneration development, methods for oak planting, post-harvest treatments to control competing vegetation, and many other aspects of oak silviculture. All of these have provided solutions to individual problems in oak regeneration for local to regional areas. However, with all this research we still have difficulty regenerating oak forests. | 2019-04-18T18:37:34 | https://www.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/pubs/41350 |
A concrete slab and 10-foot high block walls with exposed rebar sit behind a chain link fence as an ugly reminder of how quickly the oceanfront condominium market crashed here in 2008.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — A concrete slab and 10-foot high block walls with exposed rebar sit behind a chain link fence as an ugly reminder of how quickly the oceanfront condominium market crashed here in 2008.
But on the ruins of the partially built former Vizcaya condominium complex, which was abandoned during the Great Recession, a new developer is looking to build a new luxury condo complex, but with a different design and a new name: Waterford.
The planned 19-unit complex at 807 S. Atlantic Ave. would be the first oceanfront condo project to be built in Southeast Volusia in six years.
St. Petersburg-based Eckall Development says it already has two reservations for condo units at Waterford.
The city’s planning board on Monday will consider a new site plan for the seven-story building that developers hope to begin building by the end of the year.
Condo demand in New Smyrna Beach is on the rise.
From March through June, condo sales rose 34 percent to 205 this year from 153 last year, according to the New Smyrna Beach Board of Realtors. The median sale price in June was $189,000, up 6 percent from $139,000 a year ago, but slightly down from $212,500 in April, the highest level in 1.5 years.
A declining inventory is also fueling a rise in prices. The number of condos for sale in Southeast Volusia fell 22 percent to 462 in June, the lowest level in at least 4-1/2 years, from 594 a year ago.
A Winter Park developer started building the proposed nine-story, 19-unit Vizcaya condo project in 2007, but abandoned the project the following year.
That left a development site where 193 pilings had already been pounded into the earth, a slab poured and blocks laid for the first-floor walls. The property has remained in that state ever since.
Eckall Development bought the property in December for $1.1 million, according to Volusia County property records. The existing infrastructure was tested and is sound, said Lee Allen, a company principal.
Allen and Ken Eckelkamp, the founders of Eckall Development, say they are already familiar with Southeast Volusia having previously worked for JMC Communities, which built the 310-unit Minorca condo complex at the north tip of New Smyrna Beach between 2002 and 2007 and the 39-unit Seacrest condo complex in 2007 at 4071 S. Atlantic Ave. in New Smyrna Beach.
The last oceanfront condo started in the city was The Wave in 2007 at 2801 Hill St. The project was only 80 percent completed in 2008 when it was foreclosed and abandoned. Houston-based Silvestri Investments, which owns the Oceanwalk Condominiums in New Smyrna Beach, bought The Wave in late 2009, completed construction and has sold 10 of the 11 units.
Eckall Development needs to sell at least 11 units at Waterford before it can start construction, Allen said.
The company is offering six floor plans, including two penthouse units, each three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The units range in size from 1,845 square feet to 3,088 for a penthouse.
Prices currently range from $700,000 to $1.6 million, but are expected to rise once construction starts, Collado said. | 2019-04-19T20:35:56 | https://www.news-journalonline.com/news/20130731/project-gets-new-life-planned-condo-development-would-be-first-in-six-years-in-southeast-volusia |

The National Mazdoor conference (NMC) today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to constitute a national commission to assess and formulate policies for revision of wage structure of the working class.
“We urge the Prime Minister to constitute a national wage commission to assess and formulate policies for revision of wage structure in respect of working class throughout the country. The issue has not been revisited for more than past two decades,” NMC president Subash Shastri said.
Shastri said those who are expressing sympathy with the working class had ample chances to ameliorate their suffering during the period they clung to power.
“That is why the need of the hour is the constitution of the wage commission as favorable vibes and expressions are coming from the Prime Minister,” he said.
Shastri asked the central government to immediately issue notification regarding the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission report.
“We are hopeful that the Prime Minister will remove any confusion and ambiguity regarding the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission report,” he said.
Shastri expressed hope that the PDP-BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir will also take steps to implement the recommendations made in the Seventh Pay Commission for state employees and pensioners.
“We also hope that the state government will regularise the service of 61,000 daily rated workers who have been working in various departments for several years,” Shastri said. | 2019-04-22T10:48:06 | https://www.7thpc.com/2016/01/04/nmc-urges-pm-to-constitute-national-wage-commission/ |

00:39 MANNY: I’m here with Kevin King and he’s always doing ninja stuff. We will be discussing how to generate recurring revenue 24 hours per day during the AM and the PM. I was watching a Quentin Tarantino film of about three hours long, I was making money, how cool is that?! I did the amazing interview with Kevin King and although the quality of the audio isn’t of the best, it is worth listening to every minute.
You’re pretty successful with Amazon FBA. If you don’t mind me asking, how much are you doing in sales per month at the moment?
01:55 KEVIN: Right now we’re doing low six figures per month, and growing.
01:57 MANNY: Wow. How did you get into Amazon FBA?
02:08 KEVIN: I’ve been dealing with Amazon for years. I’m one of those guys who has an old school account – I can get the daily withdrawals; I don’t have to wait. I buy tens of dollars of stuff for myself and my business through Amazon, I’m a big customer. If I see something in the house which I want to sell, I put it up on Amazon. I’ve been dealing with Amazon for 15 years in another business of mine called Amazon Advantage which is a principle for media, books, DVD’s etc. where they actually issue purchase orders and you send your stuff in on consignment and they pay you. I’ve had a business account for 20 years so we wholesale to them on that side – It’s a little bit different to the FBA. Two or three years ago I stumbled into something online where people were doing this FBA thing – didn’t get right into it at that moment as I was busy with other business (I can kick myself today!). I started with FBA about a year ago. I had a buddy – we did a little bit of retail arbitrage just to get my feet wet a get to know the system, how Amazon ships things and how they work. I quickly realized that the work was too much in relation to the return. My buddy was a bit more enthusiastic and started with it right away. I was in the developing business for years – I saw the FBA business last year May and read up on it, listened to podcasts – I was all in. I got my first product launched at the end of July. I have 7 products right now on Amazon. I don’t count the first to as they were a test run.
06:02 MANNY: It seems like there’s a common theme with the successful people, the ones who are doing really well and that is that the first products initially just fail, they don’t do very well. It happened to me too, I just didn’t do my research well. The one product is not there anymore and the other is just not doing well.
06:28 KEVIN: I have two in the beauty category that are just like that. I followed the formula that most of the podcasters teach – many people go with this formula so when I chose the product in May last year so unfortunately there were about seven guys that had the same product. By the time I got it launched, there were about 100 of them. The product was a serum and there’s no differentiation – I tried to make the packaging different but a serum is a serum. I quickly learned to not play whatever everyone else is playing. I then chose a product that is whole different then the first two – a category newbies wouldn’t choose and I’ve been doing good ever since. They’re still a standard sixe product on Amazon but in an area where not a lot of people want to mess with.
08:13 MANNY: Are you saying that they don’t want to mess with it as the price point per unit are just higher?
08:18 KEVIN: You are still paying a buck or two to get your product and selling it for $15 and to bring it over – instead of paying a small amount for DHL or whatever service you’re using, I’m paying airfreight so it is costing me more and taking longer to come in. They’re still the standard size so you don’t pay extra to get the products in.
09:18 MANNY: I always say like a basketball player’s shoe box. I’ve been doing the same for a while and some people will come back and say that I’ve said something else in a podcast but times change, things change and you’ve got to change your strategies. Lately I’ve also been telling people to stay away from the cheap stuff. It’s hard to get the right margins for Pay Per Click. If you have something that you can sell for $30 or $40, that would be great. You’ve then got a bigger chance at success.
10:09 KEVIN: The best cost product I’ve bought was $20. I’ve sold it for $79. If I sell anything, I try to triple the cost to cover shipping cost etc. if I don’t come close to triple my cost, then I’m not interested in selling the product. A lot of people do not have the finances to start something like this up – those who are asking what they need to start it up are most probably looking to just get rich, something like a lottery ticket. Most of those people have given up and started something else.
11:11 MANNY: If you start up with just $200/500, you can’t get into the products that were mentioned. You can’t buy a $10 or $15 product with $200.
11:31 KEVIN: A lot of people only want to do this as an alternative to their regular job – to pay credit card debt, to go on vacation and that is all good. If you want to make a living out of this only, you’ve got to put some money in. I’ve invested quite a lot because one of my strategies is not to just go out and find something out of the global sources, bring it in and sell it on Amazon – half of my private label products, I develop from scratch. I’ve hired people on Upwork who made sketches for me and did all the CAD designs and another guy who alternate the sketches to see from different angles so it looks like a real product. I then do 3D printing so I can test the product out and make sure it is correct/give it to someone to test it out. I only then put the product out there. I go look at all the negative reviews and where there is a gap in the market – if someone sells the product for $10, I sell it for $40 to cover the high end of the market. My sales may be less and my BSR lower, but I’m making more money. All my products right now are between 3000 and 7000 BSR. I’ve got products making me $500 profit a day which is 7000 BSR which is after expenses, advertising costs, sponsored ads, everything. That is one of my strategies, to create these custom products and the major advantage to this is you can have higher margins and zero competition. If you search for one of my products, there are 1000 hits but 800 of those are all the same product with no differentiation. One of my products in the Sports category is not custom but I differentiated it by adding 3 other components and it’s the most expensive in its category. I also do custom packaging on all my products. There’s two reasons for that: I’ve shown my packaging in one of my listings which I’ve never had a problem with, with hi-jackers – another reason is that I look at these products for long-term retail. Amazon is a great platform to launch in, to prove you have a good product and to get feedback from customers, improve the product and then take it to retail in the big stores not only to make money but to lavage yourself to if something ever changes on Amazon, if you lose your account for some reason, you’re not just out there flapping in the wind.
16:07 MANNY: This is a lot of good information. You’re on pace to do seven figures this year. You’ve made over a million backs.
16:31 KEVIN: With the holiday season, based on last season and what I could’ve done if I was prepared during December and January, I expected this year to do $2,5M to $3M this year. I’m launching a few new products now and if I get a single or double, at least ten a day, with a $15 margin on each product, that’d be good. If I launch a new product, I’m willing to spend some money to get it going. I’m going to get reviews. Reach for the top 10 000 reviewers and find the ones that list things they love in their bio – get 10 of 15 of them and give them the product – offer the amount to them, give it to them for free and have them order it through Amazon so it go through the system. That’s a good way to get started and then use services like review check to get your reviews up to around 15 or 20. Some people say you need to wait to do Pay Per Click until you get a certain number of reviews, you don’t need to. Five reviews will be sufficient. You need to turn on pay Per Clicks and start making money instantly. The best investment is through Pay Per Click as you can buy your way to the top. I you buy a product for $20 and you sell it for $79, after all the commissions and fees, you can still afford to pay $10 per click/sale average. The way I look at my sales is: I take the product and say I’m going to spend $10 on marketing. If I sell 10 per day, it’s going to cost me $100 per day to sell those products on Amazon. If four of them were sold through sponsored ads, I’m acquiring them in my personal figures – I still calculate them as ‘losing the money’, I’m willing to break even now in a competitive space. I launched a product in December and I was spending about $600 a day to get that product launched. I was still making money and it still sells the same amount each day, I’m only paying $40 per day in advertising so if I have to initially not make money because of advertising, that’s fine. With Pay Per Click you build up the recognition for your product, unlike with the normal reviews.
22:50 MANNY: Pay Per Click will increase your organics, I say that too, but a lot of people say that Pay per Click does not affect your organics. You believe that too?
23:15 KEVIN: I believe 100 percent that it does increase your organics. Why wouldn’t it? Amazon is all about selling products. If they know that you are selling a product and it gets lot of searches, why wouldn’t they show it organically to you? You’re buying space through Amazon with Pay Per Click just as you would buy shelf space in a grocery store. You’re doing the same thing on Amazon through sponsored ads and proving yourself.
24:52 MANNY: Do you feel like there’s a difference between having that top spot at the top of all the searches vs being on the side panel or different positions for Pay per Click?
25:01 KEVIN: I think the most important thing is to be on page one. If you look at studies, only 30% of people go past page one. Most people will scroll through the first page and see what’s there. Best position is to be on the top left position.
25:49 MANNY: For those of you who are starting out – if you start out, you’re not going to be on page one initially. You’re probably going to be on page 17. If you can get a few reviews and start Pay Per Click, you can be on page one within a few hours. There’s very few industries where you can get in and get that immediately from page access. You might not be making money initially; you’re trying to buy op your organic ranking. The first month is almost a throw-way to build up your position.
27:02 KEVIN: I’ll let my Pay Per Click run for about seven days before I make any major adjustments. As long as I’m in that top two spots initially, I’m fine. If the keywords doesn’t look good, I’ll lower my bid and give it a week before adjustment.
28:23 MANNY: If you’re adjusting the bids on that keyword, are you saying that you’re initially running an automatic campaign and then you’re moving to a manual and then you’re adjusting them specifically manual?
28:38 KEVIN: I initially run an automatic campaign to see if Amazon thinks the product is what I think it is. At the same time, I also run a manual broad to pick up on other things. After a week I’ll eliminate the automatic, I’ll then see what’s working and what’s not working. Once I settle on keywords, I’ll move to a phrase or exact and see what works best.
29:46 MANNY: if you’ve got a small subset, 15 keywords or phrases that are awesome, you’ve eliminated all your automatic campaigns and you’re now on manual, are you setting up different campaigns for each keyword so you can control the individually?
30:00 KEVIN: No, I just put them online with a $500 budget daily.
30:08 MANNY: And then you just control the bids by going in there and checking the keyword phrases.
30:13 KEVIN: Yes. I’ve done them automatically, I’ve tested it where I just lower the bids so I get $1 for Pay Per Click to see if I can get someone that goes to page six and sees my product. I wouldn’t recommend continuing that.
30:46 MANNY: So if you’ve got these 15 awesome keyword phrases set up in your manual campaign, do you still find it’s worth it to have 5000 characters’ worth of other keywords if you’re not pushing those through Pay Per Click or is that still super important for the organic side of stuff?
31:08 KEVIN: Amazon has changed and it only allows you to have 5000 characters and it’s not keywords. I take a different approach on that, on a lot of what people and Amazon says is a lie. In my first line I repeat all my main keywords even though they’re in my title or wherever for in case they change the algorithm. In the next few points I fill in with a lot of random words, unique words that are not in my description or bullets or title. Those are just casting a wide net. For example, if I have a dog product in there, I will search for the top dog breeds and I’ll put those in there because if someone is looking for a dog product, they might type in “dog food” and you’ll appear for that. In the last line I will put in Spanish translation of my keywords as there’s a lot of people that do not speak English in the United States and has the second highest population of Spanish people.
35:09 MANNY: That’s awesome information. You basically resurrected a failing product.
35:16 KEVIN: Once I did that for the first product, I went and did it for all my other products. The products are in different categories so it won’t work for every product necessarily, it didn’t work as well for all my other products.
35:49 MANNY: Awesome! How do you deal with misspellings?
35:53 KEVIN: I use the extra space in the last bullet to deal with that and Amazon will autocorrect that too and you’ll land up in more products with the misspellings.
36:35 MANNY: I’ve noticed that too. If you have that keyword on there, it would show in your search and ask “Did you search for this?”. I am actually for a number of highly misspelled keyword phrases.
36:57 KEVIN: With the Spanish and the serum product I had – if you type it in, thousands of products show up and because I’m not doing Pay Per Click, I’m on page four or five for that listing. Also if I’m selling a toy I’d put in ‘toy’ and ‘toys’.
38:39 MANNY: Do you have the Amazon App, the A9 app?
38:49 KEVIN: No, I’ve never seen it.
38:50 MANNY: It’s pretty trippy. A lot of people don’t know about that. I want to talk about brands in terms of actually bidding on those – do you do anything with competitor brands’?
39:23 KEVIN: No, I’ve tested it – if you put words in there and it’s some uncommon brand it doesn’t make a difference but if it’s a major brand, it’s probably not going to work.
39:46 MANNY: So if you’re in a category where they say there’s two or three sellers who are just dominating, 1000 units a month each in sales, would you consider using their brand name?
40:10 KEVIN: What I’ve found works better is if you do a broad Pay Per Click on that for example ‘eyelash serum’, I’ll get people typing in a brand name that’s ‘Unique eye lash serum’ then Amazon won’t give me any searches as they’ve filtered it out. If I leave it as a broad match, just eyelash serum, I can pick up some of the brand stuff.
42:30 MANNY: You said you start 1000 units a time when you’re starting with a new product, is that your standard, do you always do that?
42:45 KEVIN: Yes, that’s my standard. When am looking at my product, I’m pretty confident. If you have less units, you can’t really promote it as you’re going to run out of stock soon. You spend a lot of money to get that product launched and for reviews, you can’t do that with 200 units. Another thing I do is I do inspections in China before the product is shipped to the USA to make sure everything is there that needs to be there and that the products look good. I find that after I’ve started doing the inspections, the products started looking better and I had less problems with my products.
48:29 MANNY: They’ll even do the three-foot Amazon drop test for you.
48:32 KEVIN: I have them drop the master product form three feet because when they’re being shipped, they handle them roughly and you don’t want to deliver a product that has a dent in. I also order a few extra boxes for in case this happens and for returns of products that were never used, so I can resell them then.
50:15 MANNY: For all of you who think that Kevin has all of these things going on…how many people do you have in your company?
50:30 KEVIN: It’s just me.
50:31 MANNY: Outside of hiring a couple freelancers to do your specifications and that, it’s just you?
50:39 KEVIN: I’ve got a bookkeeper coming in once a month as I don’t like doing the nitty gritty stuff. I also have some guys I get to do my packaging. I’ll sit down and do the sketches on paper and send it to them and tell them that’s what we have to create and we’ll communicate back and forth for a week. That’s all for $110. When my pallets come I’ll have someone assist me in removing the pallets and getting Amazon stickers on the boxes and shipping them to Amazon.
52:42 MANNY: You’re one of the few people I know who handles a big amount of inventory who don’t ship them directly to Amazon, you ship the stuff to your house?
52:55 KEVIN: Right now I’m working from my house but it has gotten to the point where I’ll have to get a little warehouse. On the first thousand units I put a PC barcode, not the Amazon code, for in case somebody hi-jacks the product. Now I let Amazon put that label up for me. My inspection company checks everything for me. I ship them via central freight so it costs me $150 instead of $1000 for UPS. I’ll pay that extra 20 cents for them to label it. I’d like to have that eyeball checked.
56:24 MANNY: Especially if your order comes in and it’s $80 000 worth of retail goods, a few dollars more wouldn’t make a difference. For the listeners who say that you can’t do it, you don’t have the time, this guy is doing it alone. You can do it, you just have to take that first step and do it. You can’t just keep learning forever, you’ll have to dive in.
57:00 KEVIN: I’ve been there, I’ve had companies where people worked for me out of a warehouse and I don’t want to get to that position. I cap this, I don’t want it to grow that much. My goal is to get this to $10M by 2019 and I might have to bring on one or two people. I just want to make enough money to survive and enjoy my life.
58:05MANNY: That’s cool. It’s ironic because I will ask a question and you’ll come up with five things and I’ll want to go back to each. This is so full of information. Four-color-box is the technical term for having unlimited color. Are you having your supplier do that or do you have it done and then ship it to your manufacturer?
58:44 KEVIN: I let the supplier do it. I send my designs through to them. I had them change something once and the inspector caught the problem and had them repackage the items.
59:58 MANNY: What does it cost you typically when you’re doing custom boxes?
1:00:15 KEVIN: It depends on the box – I’m not doing a fancy box. I just take their basic template and redo the artwork. It depends on the thickness of the box – sometimes it’s 10 cents, the most expensive is $2.06 and then it’s a really nice, thick box. People eat with their eyes. You have to give a good image of your brand. It adds a sub-consciousness to your product.
1:02:59 MANNY: For your main image itself, do you put your product box in that white background or in the secondary image?
1:03:12 KEVIN: On some products I do put the product box. I put the price box in the background and the product box in front of it. It helps the product to stand out when someone is going through the pages and it’s clean, without “Number one seller!” and “Best seller!” banners. You have to still have a white border around the edge of your image – without it Amazon software sometimes remove the photo.
1:04:46 MANNY: Do you use all your images; do you fill every space?
1:04:48 KEVIN: Yes, I do. I make sure they’re all 1500×1500. I don’t use any image from the factories. I create all my images and try to show my product in context so people can relate. Your second image is important as it is visible when searching.
1:07:10 MANNY: How long does it take your inspector to do an inspection? Many people believe they should get the product out right away, so if you add the inspection process, how much time does that add?
1:07:30 KEVIN: Usually I give the company 48 hours to complete the inspection but they do it in 24 hours. If my product is done on Monday, I can let the inspector know and I’ll have the report back on Wednesday.
1:08:04 MANNY: For protecting your products you use a five wall box and corner protectors. What I the costs of that and can you have all suppliers do that?
1:08:22 KEVIN: Some suppliers don’t do the five corners so I choose three corners and just ask them to but Styrofoam around it. There is an extra cost but it’s not huge – maybe $50 total for the whole shipment.
1:09:05 MANNY: Great! You typically ship these products via sea or air express?
1:09:13 KEVIN: I do both. It depends – I just had 1000 items come in and to ship them by air was going to cost me $2500 and shipping them by sea was going to be $1900 so I just had the whole thing come by air. If the container is heavy, it comes by sea.
1:10:27 MANNY: In a different conversation we were talking about pricing and how people end their products on .95 or .99, you don’t do that?
1:10:38 KEVIN: If you want to make things look more expensive, you put a period with two decimals after them. If you list your product for $39.39, it feels less than to just say $39.00. There’s a psychology and if I list cents, I will do .88 or something unusual to make it stand out.
1:11:56 MANNY: Dealing with your suppliers overseas – do you use any NDA’s or not?
1:12:06 KEVIN: You can do it but it’s just cumbersome. I don’t do it, even on the products I developed, they’re just going to knock you off. I had a product come out and it went through the trademark and everything was fine. They publish it in a little magazine and they have a certain amount of days where someone can raise an objection and there was a law firm that raised an objection to one of my marks and said it was too close to them, it wasn’t worth fighting as it was a big firm, so I changed the packaging.
1:15:36 MANNY: Nice. Maybe we can do a part two and talk about all these other things like 3D printing, tooling for your products and customize the products, how you do some cool ninja things with your Pay Per Click and what you do when inventory is running low. If you want this – tell us on our Facebook group/website. Please also head over to Periscope app and follow me – @mannycoats and get to know me, it’s not all only business.

This is one of those things I've been meaning to make for ages, but never quite got round to it. I've been freezing my almost-stale bread for a while now in anticipation of it, but now I have an abundance of the stuff and I needed to make bread and butter pudding so that I could free up space in my freezer.
I know people say this all the time, but it's surprising that adding custard ingredients and a few spices to bread can transform it into a really tasty and satisfying pudding. The number of ways in which you could vary this are never-ending, too. You could swap the raisins for chocolate chips, take the cocoa out of the custard mix to make a plain bread and butter pudding, add some mint for a mint chocolate pudding, add some peanut butter... or peanut butter and chocolate chips... maybe even spike it with something? That way, using up stale bread will never be boring, and you'll never feel like you have to make croutons (and let's be honest, how often are you going to eat those croutons?) again.
If I were you, I would find some stale bread (even fresh bread will do) and make some of this immediately. A hot, steaming pudding is the perfect remedy to a cold night, and there are plenty of those coming up. The recipe is based on the one from The Complete Book Of Baking by Carole Clements, but I tweaked it a bit to add a few more spices and the chocolate.
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C and grease an oven proof dish.
Butter the bread and quarter the slices. Layer them over the bottom of the dish, sprinkling raisins between the layers.
Put the double cream, milk, cocoa powder, eggs, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon in a jug or mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour over the bread slices and tuck in any bread that's sticking out. Leave to soak for 15 mins.
Bake in the oven for 30-40 mins, or until set.
For tips on how to make this pudding lower in calories, take a look at Healthy(ish) Baking.
I'm entering this pudding into November's We Should Cocoa challenge. The challenge was started by Choclette of Chocolate Log Blog and Chele of Chocolate Teapot, and is hosted this month by Nazima of Franglais Kitchen. Nazima has chosen bread for this month's theme, so I suppose a pudding made of chocolate and bread fits in reasonably well.
Chocolate bread and butter pudding sounds like a perfect comfort bake to me. I was amused that you had frozen the perfectly stale bread for the pudding ready for the time you wanted to make it! very organised! | 2019-04-18T20:43:39 | http://www.cakeoftheweek.net/2012/11/chocolate-bread-butter-pudding.html |

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have the same issues, but it seems no one takes it too seriously. I'm told to exercise more. Jeez. I'm doing as much as I can. I finished chemo in February 2013 and immediately started on Letrozole. I don't feel like I ever recovered from chemo. Then there are the side effects of Letrozole. I seem to have all of them...lucky me. I finish that in February 2018, and I am so looking forward to getting off of them. The pain is often intolerable, but I am determined to finish this. I am so grateful for the advances in breast cancer treatments that have allowed me to survive this long. Hercepetin and perjeta are awesome drugs, but there seems to be little understanding or research of long term health issues in survivorship.
Before Cancer (BC), I was the energizer bunny. After chemo for stage 3c colon cancer from my colonoscopy at 50 with no symptoms, I was the tortoise. I was hit with Chemo Induced Peripheral Neuropathy after I finished my chemo, which felt like my body was short-circuited. I tried various doses of Neurotin but if it helped, it put me to sleep. So I lived in a state of exhaustion from not sleeping well. I discovered the free Livestrong program at The Community YMCA and on those 3 days, I slept from the 1 hr program. Eventually the tingling 24*7 faded to be replaced with numbness. I learned if I needed to be somewhere or do something that I needed to rest up for it. I was scared to death that if I received a job offer, I would not be able to survive the 40+ hour work week, let alone the commute. B vitamins did nothing, I was already on Vitamin D for osteopenia related to celiac disease. My Livestrong yoga teacher kept trying to convince me to try acupuncture but the idea of sticking a needle into me and leaving it there was not going to happen. I look away when they draw blood. Well fast forward 10 months, and I get a job where I can work from home 99% of the time except for this one week workshop. I was surviving working at home by drinking a pot of coffee a day and taking a 20 minute power nap after conference calls with India and Europe ended. I was scared because I did not know how I could attend a workshop without falling asleep or constantly yawning. I made the decision to try acupuncture and oh how I wish I had done it sooner. It really helped with the neuropathy and fatigue! I could crawl into the office and leave with a spring in my step. I continue with acupuncture to this day nearly 3 years later when I need a pick-me-up or offset scanxiety before my scans and oncologist visit. | 2019-04-19T19:18:52 | https://www.curetoday.com/cure-forum/general-discussions/1271 |

is a key component of a heart-healthy lifestyle. These supplements can help.
Cholesterol. Along with blood pressure and glucose (blood sugar), it’s a factor that you have to keep under control for the sake of your cardiovascular system. What’s more, this waxy material seems to have other ominous connections: A recent study found a link between even moderately elevated cholesterol levels at mid-life and dementia risk in old age.
According to the American Heart Association, total cholesterol levels below 200 mg/dL are desirable. Levels of 240 and above are high risk; anything between 200 and 240 represents a borderline risk area. For LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, less than 100 is good, 190 and above is very high risk, and anything in between falls into a pattern of increasing risk (100-129, near optimal; 130-159, borderline high; 160-189, high). Conversely, you want higher levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol—less than 40 for men and 50 for women increases heart disease risk.
Cholesterol imbalances are harmful because they contribute to atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty plaques within arteries that slow blood flow. LDL can become oxidized, a process similar to the rusting of metal. When it does, it can become stuck in the tissue that lines arterial walls. The presence of LDL in arteries attracts blood cells called platelets, which attempt to make repairs; this process causes inflammation, which in turn further stimulates plaque development. Sometimes the plaque becomes unstable, or prone to rupture. If it ruptures a clot can form at the site, which can lead to a heart attack (in the coronary arteries) or stroke (in arteries feeding the brain). HDL, the “good” form of cholesterol, helps shepherd LDL back to the liver for processing.
While atherosclerosis is best known for its cardiovascular consequences, it can cause symptoms elsewhere in the body—anywhere blood flow is reduced by plaque-laden arteries. Plaque buildup in pelvic arteries can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) in men and is strongly suspected of causing sexual dysfunction in women. Reduced blood supply in the arms and legs, a condition known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), can cause numbness, weakness and pain.
Not smoking. That should go without saying.
Avoiding such dietary hazards as heavily refined foods (including white bread, pasta, rice and sugar), excessive amounts of table salt and saturated fat, and food grown or processed with pesticides, antibiotics or preservatives.
Not drinking or, at the very least, limiting your alcohol intake. The same goes for caffeine, which acts as a stimulant and diuretic.
Regular relief of stress, which has been linked to inflammation. Meditation, tai chi, yoga and plain ’ol exercise are all known to reduce stress.
Exercise for its own sake; physical activity helps lower both total and LDL while raising HDL. | 2019-04-18T15:21:06 | http://www.energytimes.com/pages/features/1002/cholesterol.html |

A Koi Pond provides a peaceful and quiet place to help you escape from the stress of everyday life. It is also the perfect way to add beauty to any outdoor space. But having a Koi pond does require maintenance to keep it healthy and attractive.
There are so many products available to use in water gardens that are quite overwhelming. Special care is specific to each pond. With the proper care from the beginning, you can avoid costly complications later on. There are effective precautionary steps you can take to keep your Koi pond healthy year around.
Springtime is an important time to get your pond going in the right direction. Anything you did in the winter can be un-done in the spring. Turn on the pump etc.
When the water temperature reaches a contact 50 degrees, start feeding the fish again. A cold weather food is important until the temperature reaches 60 degrees then move to a regular feeding schedule.
Remove any leaves or debris as well as vacuum the sludge from the bottom of the pond.
Pump the water from the pond into a large container and then place the fish into the container filled with the pond water. Once the pond is clean, pump the water back in and then put the fish into the pond.
Begin cleaning the filter as needed.
Remove any dead foliage. Cut plants that have gone brown with age. This reduces buildup and allows the plants more room to grow.
Feed the fish but don’t overfeed.
It’s important to keep the falling leaves from ending up in the pool causing decay. This decay will throw off the ecological balance of the water garden.
Installing leaf netting over the pond will make it easier to maintain.
Water temperature is dropping so it is important to feed the fish less. Once the temperature drops below 50 degrees – stop feeding until spring.
If you have a warm winter day, and the pond begins to warm up, do not be tempted to feed the fish.
Prepare the pond. If you have a small or shallow pond, you may need a floating deicer to keep it above freezing.
If the temperature drops below 40 degrees, reduce the circulation of water by turning off the pump and draining it.
Caring for your Koi pond is both an art and science. Maintenance for your Koi pond changes with the seasons. The health and survival of your plants and fish depend on upon this proper maintenance and care. Art of the Yard can help you build and maintain a beautiful Koi pond protecting your investment. | 2019-04-18T10:17:27 | https://www.customwaterfeaturesdenver.com/caring-koi-pond-year-round/ |

When you are working on creating TENSION, EMOTIONS, ATMOSPHERE and MEANING in your directing, acting and design work, it is important that you are aware of the impact on the audience and also the tools at your fingertips with an entrance, as this is establishing the story, relationships, context and mood.
walk across the stage with others watching, just walk. What is the message?
enter the stage from a wing and enter a place. What do you do? What do you bring/see?
enter the stage to look at something specific and help the audience see it. What happens?
enter the stage with a particular feeling to do something specific. What does the audience see?
enter the stage to bring news (good or bad to another). How do they change? How does the mood change?
enter with a backstory and show what has just happened from the entrance. What had happened? How does he/she feel? What do they want to do?
We did these exercises alone and then with others watching to give feedback. As time went on, of course they started to bring multiple things with their entrance.
We then developed the work to include entering to another person, entering a space intending to change the mood, entering to intentionally create conflict, do something specific, get something, bring something etc.
This is a good game to play, as it explores all the elements of entrances, interaction, mood and interaction with the environment.
I hope that you find these useful and will use them in your own work.

A primary school caretaker has been found guilty of attacking a group of teenagers.
Karl Lucas, 27, of Manor Fields, Horsham, who is employed as a premises officer at the Three Bridges Primary School, Gales Drive, was involved in an attack on five teenagers.
West Sussex County Council said Lucas was not currently at work. Sussex Police said at about 5pm on July 12 last year a group of teenagers, two aged 18, and three 16 year olds, were attacked by two men as they walked in Manor Fields Park, Horsham.
The men tried to grab the teenagers’ football and cricket bat after confronting them. The two 18-year-old victims were each punched during the incident. One suffered minor cuts but the other was not injured.
Karl Lucas, 27, and Ben Lucas, 24, of Denne Road, Horsham, pleaded guilty to affray when they appeared at Lewes Crown Court on June 22.
They were both ordered to do 100 hours of community service and made to pay costs, £100 compensation and a £60 victim surcharge. | 2019-04-25T10:01:28 | https://www.crawleyobserver.co.uk/news/people/crawley-primary-school-caretaker-found-guilty-of-attacking-teenagers-1-6838958 |

This balayage ombre requires at least 3 times bleaching before applying pale pink + pale purple. You can have fun colours even without bleaching whole hair. Of course before bleaching, we always do scalp protection before we apply any bleach / colours. So don't worry about damaging the hair / scalp.

Exciting New 2019 Renovation Projects!
Hi friends. We’re excited to share that we recently purchased a couple of properties and we’ve got some exciting renovations coming up this year! As you know, Emma is based in Springfield, Missouri and Elsie lives in Nashville, Tennessee. We knew we wanted to invest in some properties we could Airbnb, but also live in ourselves when we come to visit each other’s cities (which is a lot).
So first, up—Nashville! Above is a photo of the duplex we just closed on in Nashville. We each purchased one side of the duplex. It’s a brand new build with a pretty basic design, so we’re doing a (tiny) bit of renovation and furnishing our side in our own style! It’s been really fun so far. I (Elsie) am almost wrapped up on my side and I’m coordinating a lot of Emma’s now since she isn’t always in town.
We’re both so excited because this home will give Emma and Trey a place to stay for longer periods of time. Emma comes often for both work projects and to visit, and although she’s always been welcome to stay with me, I know she’s excited to have a little house of her own with a fenced backyard so they can bring their dogs too. Trey has a sister who also lives in the Nashville area and she and her husband have two (adopted) little kiddos as well. So, Emma wanted to be able to come visit more to spend time with their nieces and nephews in addition to all the work trips she does out here.
Once it’s available to rent, it will also be cool because larger groups could potentially rent both sides for a bigger space.
I believe this is the first time we’ve renovated a contractor-grade new build, so we’re excited to share the room before and afters with you as the months go on! It’s amazing what even small changes to a space can do to personalize the feeling.
Here we are in my mostly completed kitchen, minus that light fixture behind my head. I’ve decorated my side a little more of a farmhouse vibe with a lot of texture. I’m trying to make it as cozy as possible. And I did a cooler color scheme with greens and blues (yes, you read that right, some BLUE!).
On Emma’s side, she chose more modern finishes with a warm color scheme.
We are really excited to share the full reveal with you in the next few months!
In our hometown of Springfield, Missouri, we purchased an adorable historic home in the Rountree area (our favorite neighborhood in our hometown, if you’re not familiar). It’s a very sweet neighborhood. And just around the corner from this house there is a pizza place, a coffee/wine bar, and a small brewery. It’s the perfect neighborhood to take long walks on summer nights. And it’s just a few minutes from our downtown, so it’s super conveniently located to do just about anything.
I (Elsie) am so excited because one of our personal goals was to spend more time in Missouri with our family. We are planning to spend Halloween and Christmas in this home, starting this year. It’s extra special because I’m imagining us waking up there on Christmas morning (it will be Marigold’s first holiday season with us!). It feels SO magical to me to have this home where we can make memories with our children in our hometown. I’m imagining cousin sleepovers and gingerbread houses, plus there is a fireplace so Santa can visit … all that good stuff! I nicknamed this one “holiday house” since we’ll be spending so many holidays there!
This photo is from last Thanksgiving right after we closed. It was my first time to see the home and I was instantly in love!
Emma and I have designed this home together and we have worked to choose things that go well with the age of the home (it was built in the 1920s). We’ve already done quite a bit of work since then, including a full kitchen renovation, which is nearly complete. Emma has been documenting a LOT of the progress, so be watching our IG stories to see all the behind the scenes. We will for sure we sharing LOTS of room tours and how we updated things with you soon.
Nova loves the house! But don’t all kiddos love running around empty houses? She has to hide in every single closet and try to scare us. Haha!
Just like with the Nashville homes, we’re planning to rent this home out as a short-term rental (like Airbnb) when we’re not using it. So if you’re ever passing through Springfield, Missouri, look us up! We’ll be sure to have links to our properties once they are available.
Before I go, just a quick note! We realize how lucky we are to be able to invest in these properties. Please don’t think it’s something that came overnight for us or something we take lightly. It’s an opportunity we worked and planned for years to be able to achieve and we’re so excited to share our journey with you!

Yes- giving to charity is very important to us and we’re always open to reminders of how important it is. We actually donated a house we bought in cash to Habitat For Humanity a few years ago (you can see it here in our archives) and have a program set up to give a portion of our ad money to a different charity each month.
Regarding airbnb “ruining or taking over” neighborhoods- I also think this is an important conversation that we want to continually have and stay educated on. Every city is so different.
Both these communities have protections in place to make sure short term rentals are moderated. In Springfield they started something new where there can’t be too many bnbs in the same neighborhood. And in Nashville it is very strictly moderated, so we know there are not too many bnbs in the city (in fact there are currently less than there have been in years). We believe we’re contributing something positive to both these communities with these short term properties, and we’ll be staying in them ourselves as we travel back and forth to visit.
We’re always open to having thoughtful conversations on these topics!
I didn’t know about your monthly charitable giving — I’d love to see which organizations you’re supporting! . As a nonprofit employee myself, it can be really impactful when folks share where they donate and I’m always curious about great organizations and what they’re doing. Looking forward to seeing the renovations on your new places!
It’s linked on our About page (at the top of the site). But to be 100% we don’t plan to necessarily talk about giving to charity every time we do it. We will sometimes, like the Habitat for Humanity project we did and we’ve done a number of food drives for our local food banks in the past as well. But it does feel a touch inauthentic to us to always be talking publicly about donating to charity, sometimes it feels good to just do it but not talk too much about it. I hope that makes sense.
I am glad to hear Emma’s thoughts on this topic. It seems publicly announcing charitable giving at any scale can turn into a race to prove who is giving the most or at least broadcasting it the loudest. For myself, I don’t truly feel that great about what I’m giving unless it isn’t known by others. Sometimes one of the most thrilling parts of the gift is the pat on the back – if I give it to myself and hold it quietly (internally) I feel my giving is purely motivated but if I am seeking kudos from others that is self-serving.
Emma, I’d really like to read a “guide” written by you in 3–5 points on how you read up on causes, choose what to support, decide whether it’s once or a long-term commitment and follow up. Either as a company or as a family. Maybe you’ve planned something like that already?
What a sweet, smart reply. I wouldn’t have had that much grace.
It’s thoughtful of you to be concerned about charities. Elsie and Emma have donated time and resources to a wide variety of non-profits and charitable organizations. Sometimes they have mentioned these charities on their blog, but many times they just quietly give and support.
I’ve always been puzzled about the idea that Air bnb is detrimental to neighborhoods. If the person who moves in next to you doesn’t mow their grass, take care of their home, or has dogs that bark all night and poop in your yard, you are kind of stuck with them. Air bnb owners have much more incentive to keep their homes and yards tidy and be good neighbors. Not trying to be argumentative, just my thoughts….
@Pat It is detrimental to neighborhoods in that it takes housing stock off the market and makes housing more expensive. It happened in New York City when thousands of apartments were taken out of the pool and rented as short terms. Less stock equals higher prices, this trend is exacerbated in neighborhoods desirable to tourists. I’d also like to point out that it is not fun to have airbnbs as a neighbor. There are parties, you don’t know who is coming and going, even if you had perfect hosts and only the best vacationers, who wants to live in a neighborhood without real neighbors? You lose local investment in the community. It is currently happening in my neighborhood in Kansas City. I hope they continue to put ordinances in place to protect housing affordability and current residents. I hope that Elsie and Emma take this seriously as I do enjoy this blog, but I also hope they can relate this type of thing on the blog rather than just showing how fun it is to buy and redecorate a house and then use it to make income as an airbnb.
Like I said in my comment above, it’s different in every city. The cities we are doing these homes in are very moderated and there will not be unlimited bnbs due to laws in place. I agree that it’s possible for it to get out of balance (and stories from New York and New Orleans provide valuable perspective). That said, in these cities we feel it will provide a helpful option as well as a place we can stay when visiting each other.
We would never try to oversimplify this debate. There are definitely a lot of valuable checks and balances that need to be in place, but we don’t believe we’re overstepping those boundaries. We love our cities and want to invest more money, make these properties nicer, pay taxes etc. 🙂 For example- we considered buying a second home in Missouri for a while because we want to visit more and it’s nice to have your own space (especially with another kid on the way) but we felt it would be weird for it to sit empty so much- this is a win/win for us since we have a place to stay and we’re making a nice bnb for others to stay in as well.
I thought Nashville passed a rule stating that a home had to be your permanent residence in order to be used as an Air Bnb? I have lived in two cities that drastically changed because of Air BNB culture. If you are on the owner side it’s great.. ( who doesn’t love fluid income?)…but for the majority of OG locals it can be a nightmare (I’m looking at you Bachelorette parties en masse). Look at what happened in East Nashville over the last decade. IN 2008 you could buy a home there for $70-100k. Now developers offer to owners in cash under market price to sell and then bulldoze the home to put up as many tall and skinnies/duplexes/quads as possible. It can be a super sad thing.
Nashville does have those laws for residential zoned properties (we purchased a property with a different zoning).
I have heard so many different experiences about the growth in East Nashville. Not all good, not all bad. It’s a big and complicated issue for a city to grow that fast. I’m always curious to learn more about people’s experiences who have lived in Nashville much longer than we have.
As far as bachelorettes- we have a no bachelorette party rule (and very strict rules in general) and have never had a problem with it. I definitely think that’s something owners need to be responsible for since Nashville has so many bachelor/bachelorette parties (and I also honestly think those parties are better off staying in a hotel downtown).
Good job on the no bachelorettes! It makes way more sense to have them stay in downtown!
I moved to Nashville in 2003 and lived there 11 years (4 years of that in east nashville). Nashville will always have a piece of my heart. I saw the ups and downs of progress, and honestly I mourn the Nashville I know. That’s not to say that there aren’t awesome things happening there (because there definitely are) but those things came at the expense of a lot of really great things… primarily how accessible Nashville used to be and how many of the artists and makers and small business who launched Nashville into what it is now, can no longer afford to live or do business there now that the NY and LA money came in. It’s happening in a lot of cities, and I suppose it’s to be expected… but it is sad. Hopefully things will level out over time.
I do wish you luck in your endeavors there though.. I still believe Nashville is a winner.
Marisa: I know Elsie and Emma personally and you really couldn’t wish for better or more moral business women. These properties are in office/commercial zoned areas of Nashville and in no way take residential inventory “off the market”. I rarely read these comments, but it seems some people are so blinded by jealousy that they freely make negative assumptions. Just annoying when uninformed folks are bitterly critical toward these gals follows all the rules and are contributing positively to society in every way.
I trust being seasoned business people that they did the research and are grounded in their values. Please celebrate others success! I’d also like to point out that I would much rather rent an Airbnb from someone who owns a small business and then to rent a hotel room from a large chain. I assume you hadn’t thought of that. If you are disappointed with your own success look into changing that for yourself. Congrats Elsie and Emma! I have loved watching you grow and blossom through the years and share your gift with so many people.
Isn’t supporting Airbnb the same as supporting a “large hotel chain”? The difference is, those small business owners have no protection, and you’re still supporting a large corporation – who is using free labor to make money. You as a guest also don’t have protection – Legally and safety-wise (hotels have to pass rigorous safety standards. Your Airbnbs do not. Your gambling whether smoke alarms, CO2 detectors, locks, electricity, plumbling etc all work properly). Hotels also do not take homes away from low income and middle-class families under the guise of progress. with no control or over-sight. I trust you hadn’t thought of that, though.
Jenny, I have to respectfully disagree with a number of your points here.
Guests do have protection. I can’t speak for every city in the world but in both Springfield and Nashville you have to pass multiple inspections (for adequate smoke detectors and other safety measures) before you can obtain your short term rental permit and legally have guests stay in your home. I think this is a great law and I am VERY glad as both an owner and someone who rents short term rentals to stay in with family on vacations that this is the case. And if anyone out there reading this does ever stay in a short term rental that didn’t have smoke detectors or locks on a door, etc you should absolutely inform the owner and if needed (like if they do not resolve the issue) leave a review on the website and contact the city to let them know.
Also, we did not take a home away from low income or middle class families. We are a middle class family, for one. But more importantly you may not know this but there are actually quite a lot of laws and over-sight for short term rentals. Again, I am not an excerpt on every single market but in both Springfield and Nashville there are only certain zoned areas you can have short term rentals in OR there can only be a certain number in an area. I personally especially like this second option (this is what Springfield has) because it protects neighborhoods from being completely bought up by investors for the purpose of short term rentals. Both of the properties we chose to purchase completed the requirements of these oversight measures.
1. It’s Elsie + Emma’s business what they do with their money. No one else’s. They have worked hard and earned it. They can do whatever they please with it.
2. I doubt if they were men, anyone would be making comments like this. Instead of shaming them for making money, let’s cheer them on for working hard and making intelligent business decisions. In addition, if you are here on their website, consuming the FREE content they create (like all of us), then you too are profiting from their hard work.
How exciting! Always love seeing how you guys renovate a space and this one feels so special since you will be able to spend more time together! And the story about your grandma and her sister! Life goal for sure!
Congratulations on the new properties! That’s so amazing and I can’t wait be able to invest like this one day. Hard work and dedication! Your renovation projects are my very fave posts that you do. Can’t wait to see the progress.
How fun!! I know it’s always a little gauche to talk about money, but in the same way you do DIYs and decor breakdowns I would love a little peek into how you manage your properties. Like are they mortgaged, what kind of mortgage, are you mainly going through the business as a corporation…etc. etc.
Anyhow, super cute- and I love the idea of calling it the “Holiday House” !
Agreed on this topic. I would love to see more business related posts now that the ABM business is growing. I’m sure many other readers would love to follow the avenues you ladies have taken towards success!
Good to know of this interest! I am personally always super interested in learning more about other peoples’ businesses and investments and learning from others over the years has really helped me so the thought of doing that in any small way for others would be something we’d be interested in. Although, obviously, talking about money can be quite intimidating as well for a lot of reasons.
I am so happy for you guys! That is so exciting, I cannot wait to see the finished renovations!
Emma! 🤗🤗🤗 great little hint there. Congrats!
This is AMAZING! I can’t wait to see what you guys do with the spaces. Especially that duplex – I love the idea of you each decorating your halves in your own styles! 🙂 – Mike.
So fun! Congrats and looking forward to seeing the room/house tours in the future. Sorry you had to put the disclaimer at the end, but I know it comes with the territory (unfortunately). Keep being you and enjoy the blessing of what you’ve been able to accomplish with all of your hard work.
Yes- we love to follow Sherry and John too! They’re so inspiring!
I am 110% obsessed with everything John and Sherry do and have been following along with their renovations for years including their duplex. 😉 They are amazing.
I’ve always gotten the impression that Emma & Elsie were extremely passionate about giving back, so I’m a little surprised by the charity comments.
This is really exciting news! Congratulations to you both!
I know, it’s to each his own, but I would never think of asking a friend if they contribute to charities. And for someone to bring that up here with “internet friends” is very bold. It’s none of our business how you ladies disperse your funds. Have a beautiful day Elsie and Emma!
My husband is currently getting his real estate license and we want to invest in both long term and a few thoughtfully selected short term rentals. This is very inspiring! I agree with the comment about how impressive you both are at hearing the naysayera reapectfully and answering true to your own research and opinions. Younguys could offer a Master Class in that skill! Lol.
Wow! Congratulations! You gals work so hard and keep me amazed by how much you accomplish. Kudos to you both as well as your team. I cannot wait to see what you make of these spaces!
This is super cool. I love seeing you succeed.
Never begrudge the successes of others, let them inspire you!
I’m so looking forward to seeing how you will transform the places, I’m so excited!
Wow, you guys are so flipping inspiring! I LOVE hearing these updates and seeing how well you’re doing. I’ve been a long time follower, so this makes my heart sing!
Can’t wait to stay in one of your Airbnb’s when I’m over your way next!
Ah I love that you guys bought the duplexes next to each other…such a sweet sister dream! And really how wonderful for you guys to have places to land when you want to go visit your family AND that you’re sharing those places with others. 🙂 🙂 I can’t wait to see all three properties finished!
I dream of renovating an older home someday! Wishing you luck with both projects!
To me, it goes without saying that you guys are incredibly thoughtful and generous people. It is so obvious in every way through this blog! I saw someone say this, and it would be cool to hear about how you decide to donate to what causes-truly because I value your guys’ opinions so much 🙂 either way, you have NOTHING to explain to anyone!!
Looking forward to your renovation and design posts on these properties. Halloween is my favorite time of the year as well. Cannot wait to see your decorating inspiration for the holidays. I love that you support each other as sisters in your various projects and investments.
I hate that there are so many trolls on the internet you and your sister have to constantly have to explain yourself or validate your choices to them. You both are clearly amazing and warm individuals and anyone who reads this blog can see that.
I am also especially upset that some people also have to troll the comments, eg. with regards to charitable giving.
All these people should be ashamed of themselves.
We should be celebrating with you, this is an amazing bit of news. So sad that people feel the need to pull other people down to feel better about themselves.
You do you Elsie and Emma. Can’t wait to see the posts.
Apologies if this has already been mentioned/ posted something like this and I missed it, but it would be amazing if you guys could post about some of the strategies you use to help save for a home. My husband and I are having trouble finding a balance between “put every penny away for the future” and still being able to enjoy the here and now.
Any advice or resources would be amazing.
I really enjoyed reading these comments.
I’m not American but Air BNB is impacting communities around the world (including my hometown in South Africa) so the debate is very interesting to me.
In addition, someone wrote that they’d be keen to hear more about the business side of ABM. I’d like to second that! Would love to read periodic updates on this too!
Just getting caught up and delighted to see this post, I would be very interested in hearing about the recent law changes and how it affects the market. You girls do good work, and I had to chuckle while reading comments from previous posters that want an essay on your contributions. You handled it well. | 2019-04-26T03:38:40 | https://abeautifulmess.com/2019/03/exciting-new-2019-renovation-projects.html |

How do you know you're not just making karma worse??
The answer to the question in the OP is given in the first two verses of the Dharmapada.
But dependent origination, when reduced to its essential components, simply means: where there is affliction, there is a cause for action; where there is action there is a cause for suffering; and where there is suffering, there is a condition for further affliction. Without affliction, there is no cause for action; without action, there is no result, suffering.
A Buddhas deeds are not based on afflcition (desire, hatred, and ignorance); they are based on wisdom. Hence, they do not result in suffering.
A buddha's mind stream is conditioned and relative; it is however free of affliction and endowed with omniscience.
Dzogchen mainly describes how samsara begins (with an aim to reverse it), but the “mechanics” of samsara are the same: affliction—> action —> suffering —>affliction as infinitum unless one breaks the chain at affliction.
An action always has a result. An affliction does not need to have a result.
What is the definition (in the context of Dharma) of an affliction?
What is the definition (in the context for Dharma) of an action?
Per the mechanism illustrated in the sequence above, WHY is it that affliction does not need to have a result?
A painful mental state, i.e., desire, hatred, and ignorance, or anything that is conducive to a painful mental state, i.e., impure conditioned phenomena.
Volition is action, this produces verbal and physical acts.
Afflictions do not necessarily produce volitions. When we are aware of our afflictive state, we can disengage our minds from actions related towards afflictive objects. This is why we practice śamatha, actually, so that we are aware of our mind's afflictive state. Being aware of our mind's afflictive state is called mindfulness and attention. Being unaware of our mind's afflictive stated is called being mindless and inattentive.
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build the life of tomorrow: our life is the creation of our mind.
If one speaks or acts with an impure mind, suffering follows as the wheel of the cart follows the beast that draws the cart.
If a person speaks or acts with a pure mind, joy follows as her own shadow.
I think this is where faith enters the picture, is it not? "How can I be sure I'm acting from pure motives?" The answer is: you can only do your best. That's where trust of your true nature and in the dharma comes into play. We can't understand all the depths and complexities in our current state, hence, the need for the teaching in the first place! That is why it is compared to a raft. And we need to have faith in it.
What are the post signs along the road I should be paying attention to?
Good intention is so important but perhaps not enough and sometimes even triggering. Even someone wishes so very much to help, the help can be seen as an attack. Just like a wolf painfully entangled in a trap, will bite when a hand is sticking out to help him out of that desperate situation. He would bite, as we would, to each other and perhaps even to Enlightened help.
Trapped in duality, I think your advice is a great recommendation to be less a slave of the dividing mind.
As long as dualism is present, there is continuation of karma.
That's why the relation to the teacher is so important. Because you need that faith until you see for yourself.
I am fully accepting that I don't see into the functionalities of cause and condition.
The more I practise the more firm beliefs transform into mere possibilities.
We talk about karma in principle, and I am fixed (determined) on understanding it in its correct view. But not to just understand and talk about it. I want this to be done already. I'm fed up with being ignorant. It is very clear to me once I entered this practice how incredibly multifaceted every relative situation is even in ONE family for each individual.. and grasping just how many conditions contribute to stimulate habituated patterns that manifest like from "many a fiction story for every episode of one's life," yet seeing them line up, tracking the trends, hindsight helps in defining and illustrating very clearly what is priority and what isn't... I fully trust the self-perfecting process precisely because the connection proves I prioritized my connection to the teachings before, in this being inhabited by a conventional me, and wh knows how many other Me's before. It sometimes feel like the anchor was to be born where my teacher was in the years he was there (not many Tibetans in Naples) but I had a specific situation which was quite awful for many years. It was slaking off debts one by one to get to a position where the practice can really begin, one insanity after the other and many of those afflictions did exhaust themselves and no longer bind my current conditions... But some DO! Yet somehow I'm not that attached to their story anymore, I see them for their worth and only feel a kind of gratitude my conditions provided me with the correct medicine to feel the transparency of things... As if becoming more relative in my understanding in which even more precision is called for!
Ogyen, you haven't responded to a question on the first page: which vehicle does your post refer to?
I read so much pondering in the long posts you write. I see your longing for logic, precision which you think to attain through determination. And I think (and that is the dzogchen view) that this is not how it is going to work. Let go and rest in what is there right now. Now remembering, no expectation.
Make the seeing of the true nature of your mind your one and only goal.
Trying to verify your karma is just another play of the ego's mind. Of course it may be fun going down that road, but stay in awareness of its inherent emptiness.
This is where the true journey starts.
Karma is a difficult one to figure out.
For example: My brother died earlier this year and left a heap of debts that my family and I have to pay for.
This lead me to wondering: How can I know if this is due to old debts which were accrued by me towards him that I now have to pay for, OR are these new debts being accrued by him towards me?
Only a Buddha can know.
Sorry to hear about your brother, Grigoris.
Your post got me thinking about collective karma though. What role does it play, if any, in a situation like this? Is that even how collective karma works? How much of our suffering is due to our own karmic debts? At what point can we say that suffering is not just the result of individual karmic debts? Is it when an entire country is devastated by some natural disaster or when an entire group of people is persecuted and killed? Does collective karma operate on a smaller scale - like between a group of co-workers or a family unit?
I understand that there is a danger with this line of thinking, especially for someone like me, where collective karma can be a means to externalising all of my suffering and causes of suffering. But can this be notion be totally ignored when looking at suffering in its entirety?
I'm probably not articulating this well due to incompetence. Apologies for the noob post.
At what point can we say that suffering is not just the result of individual karmic debts?
This is a very interesting question, which is going beyond my poor limitations. Instead of being able to provide an answer, other questions are popping up only: if all karmic debts would be purely individual, would there than not be a subtle belief in an "individual, a person, a one on itself"? Is not all dependent, even so subtle what our intellect cannot get?
I do not reject when we are acting unwholesome or wholesome, from these, our own harvest will be coloured. Would that only be, without any influence on all around us? Then how would it be called wholesome and unwholesome? Personal only?
I do not reject we must awaken ourselves, none can do it for us, (even we are temporary dependent on 'some navigation medicines' to help) But if it is solely individual ' karmic harvest', we must be energies on our own. Perhaps with a stony separating wall around body-speech and mind.
ps My warm support to Greece, for the whole family.
Hi, apologies.. life ate up a lot of time lately. Just seeing this. Karma applies to all vehicles. It is not even philosophy specific. It is a principle which encompasses all vehicles and beings that stumbled into Samsara.
It's nicely thought out thank you for taking the time to write. I may go on and on in my posts... I guarantee I'm not a terribly lengthy thinker off the boards, I just have general existential angst I'm working out overall, as I find myself in that awkward phase between birth and death.
I had a wonderful retreat recently which opened my eyes a great deal, and I have a strong confidence in the method of Dharma. I study all aspects of buddhadharma but due to karmic conditions and previous aspirations, I really resonate most with the Dzogchen vehicle.
Verifying karma is a fundamental part of understanding the true nature of your actual condition, I don't think it's an ego game. To see the true nature of your mind there's a lot of layers to get thru... I mean we are caked in conditioning that prevents us from really integrating our own true nature, so much of this is a very useful exercise.
The question mostly pertained to finding markers and knowing that you are going the right way (for you). We think a lot of things. That doesn't mean we see or understand what the conditions are which are producing that thinking/feeling and acting. I have now learned how to verify that and apply it.
All of a sudden... Karmic conditions are maturing rather quickly manifesting in the form of obstacles and changes which I sometimes can mitigate somewhat thru the effect of secondary causes generated by the protection of practice. The rest I deal with as I can.
I've also had that question pop up in some situations and I've come to think that maybe not even a personal thing between you and your brother... More like a series of conditions you both had accumulated at some point that now matured this way, you with having a kind of load to carry that is debt related, and he to leaving your family in this specific secanrio.. and now you're where this karma will run its course... The trick is to either just exhaust that karma trying to have better clarity of the nature of these relative (but very annoyingly felt) consequences, and to not generate new karma in body speech and mind. Of course it's much easier said than done... But I have been taking to welcoming exhausting karma as needed, and I've started to become sensitive to how every action and thought produces it's own kind of karma.
Many good hugs and vibes to you.
How do you know you're not just making things worse thinking you're making things better (good intentions and all that jazz)???
The solution is always to practice what you've been given until your mind becomes clear, meaning unhelpful states of mind have subsided & you can act based on wisdom. If you're unsure, practice more.
If practicing doesn't seem like enough, you have two options... one is to accumulate more karma and wait for it to burn itself out through your experiences, and the other is to practice anyway. Mechanically they are identical, but functionally they are opposed. Blindly creating karma through mundane activity is the risky one. Practice necessarily protects you from that, always, every single time, because it's not connected to your ordinary mind, but to your wisdom mind, which is the very mind of the Buddha.
More to the point, in which direction is your fear (i.e., of worsening karma) pushing you?
Is it constructive or not?
How much time do you spend with this fear by itself, vs. letting it spur you to action? The state of your mind, which is capable of indulging the fear in unproductive/harmful ways, is what creates the karma producing the fear you mean to escape.
If the fear is there and you can't get rid of it at this time (because you can't change the conditions causing it to arise), employ practice. Let go of the mind that judges & tries to ascertain what will happen, because this is based on the Eight Worldly Attitudes; seize the mind that is committed to making your life meaningful through practice.
It already exists within you, ready to be activated through conscious contemplation. Remember that the practice you've done in the past & that you choose to do currently is helping you right now, as opposed to in the future. | 2019-04-26T06:39:34 | https://dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?t=28391&start=40 |
Rats and other types of rodents are a common problem in most major cities and rural areas around the world. Since they are known carriers of dangerous diseases and can contaminate food sources quite easily, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent each year in rodent extermination efforts all around the globe.
And although they are considered to be a nasty pest that can be a threat to our health in Canada, we at Pestend Pest Control Mississauga were shocked to learn that in some parts of the world rats are seen in a completely different light.
We are of course speaking of Karni Mata Temple in the small dusty town of Deshnoke India. Also known as the Temple of Rats, Karni Mata is home to approximately 20,000 rats that are worshiped by thousands of visitors annually.
Why On Earth Are They Worshipping Rats?
There are two main stories explaining why so many Hindus worship the 20,000 plus rats living in Karni Mata.
One of the legends tells a story of a 20,000 person army that fled a battle near Deshnoke about 500 years ago, an act that was punishable by death at the time. When Karni Mata, a Hindu warrior sage living in Deshnoke at the time, found out that these warriors deserted the battle, she spared their lives but turned them into rats offering the temple as a place they can stay. In return, the army of rats offered to serve Karni Mata for eternity.
The other famous legend tells a story of Karni Mata’s stepson drowning in a lake while trying to drink some water. When Karni Mata found out about his death, she called upon Yama, the god of death, to revive him. Yama first refused but then granted a special gift to allow Karni Matas stepson and all her other male children to be reincarnated as rats.
So to the thousands of worshipers that visit Karni Mata Temple every year, these rats are actually believed to be reincarnated servants of Karni Mata and some special white rats are thought to be descendants of Karni Matas family.
So how exactly are these rats worshiped in the temple?
Just like any other temple, there are several daily rituals that occur in the temple and of course special events several times a year.
Worshiping on a daily basis begins at 4:00 am when Charan priests offer a special food known as bhog to the rats. Throughout the rest of the day worshipers visiting the temple will also feed the rats special types of food and will even eat and drink with the rats. It is actually considered a high honour amongst worshipers to eat a piece of food that was nibbled by a rat in the temple and to drink from the same bowl of milk that the rats drink from.
The greatest honour of all at Karni Mata temple is if you spot one of the few white rats roaming around the temple. These white rats are thought to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her four sons. Visitors who are lucky enough to see one of these white rats will typically try to feed them a special food known as prasad. | 2019-04-20T00:37:20 | https://www.pestendmississauga.ca/rats-arent-always-viewed-pests/ |
