May’s Conservatives caught cutting Education funding in rival seats to plug funding gaps in Tory seats.
The Conservative Government of Theresa May has been caught out siphoning off money from the national education pot and sending it to Tory constituencies – when 9 out of 30 children in UK classrooms are in poverty. This follows the same model for Healthcare – where the NHS in the rest of the nation faces cuts, councils running the services in Tory Constituencies have offered ‘gentlemen’s agreements’ on funding, most notably in Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt & Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond’s constituencies.
Theresa May can find £320 million for Grammar Schools because she is taking funding from non Tory areas. The British taxpayer is being robbed, and their children are paying the price for the larceny. We’ve stopped the “Education, Education, Education” – now we have desperation, no ambition & degradation.
Child poverty reduced dramatically between 1998/9-2011/12 when 800,000 children were lifted out of poverty. Since 2010, child poverty figures have flat-lined. The number of children in absolute poverty has increased by 500,000 since 2010. As a direct result of tax and benefit decisions made since 2010, the Institute for Fiscal Studies project that the number of children in relative poverty has risen from 2.3 to 3.6 million today (poverty figures before housing costs).
Banker bonuses since 2010 have totalled over £5 billion. There were 3.6 million children living in relative poverty in the UK in 2016. That’s 28 per cent of children, or 9 in a classroom of 30. The number of individuals in absolute poverty after housing costs has risen to 5.6 million since 2010. The number of children in absolute poverty has increased by 500,000 since 2010.
Child poverty imposes costs on broader society – estimated to be at least £29 billion a year. Governments forgo prospective revenues as well as commit themselves to providing services in the future if they fail to address child poverty in the here and now. Childcare and housing are two of the costs that take the biggest toll on families’ budgets. When you account for childcare costs, an extra 130,000 children are pushed into poverty.
Benefit Fraud has been hyped up to justify slashing the welfare budget – the main victims of this have been the disabled, the elderly, the homeless & children. Benefit Fraud accounts for just 0.7 per cent of welfare spending.
Child poverty imposes costs on broader society – estimated to be at least £29 billion a year. Governments forgo prospective revenues as well as commit themselves to providing services in the future if they fail to address child poverty in the here and now. Over 746,000 Adults and more than 436,000 children relied on emergency parcels last year. In the 6th richest country on earth, that’s not good enough.

High-rimmed plates are often wheel thrown but I actually wanted to slip cast these to get a smoother surface. One variation is in deep red and the other hand-painted.
It is a dessert plate but feel free to put a delicious piece of sushi or a cup of coffee on it. Mix&match with other Marsala collection pieces! | 2019-04-21T12:06:20 | https://www.boyaporcelain.com/products/salad-plate-high-rim |
The jackfruit also known as jack tree, fenne, jakfruit, or sometimes simply jack or jak, is a type of a tropical fruit.
This fruit is native to the rain forests of the Western Ghats of India.
The jackfruit spread early on to other parts of India, southeast Asia, the East Indies and ultimately the Philippines.
It is often planted in central and eastern Africa and is fairly popular in Brazil and Surinam.
Jackfruit is adapted to humid tropical and near-tropical climates. Mature trees have survived temperatures of about 3 °C (27° F) in southern Florida, but these were frozen to large limbs. Young trees are likely to be killed at temperatures below 0 °C (32° F).
It is very long-lived tree and generally with a lifespan of 60 to 70 years.
It grows to an enormous size up to 30 meters (almost 100 feet) high and 80 to 200 centimeters (2.6 to 6.5 feet) in diameter. The crown is dense and conical in young trees, becoming rounded or spreading in the older trees.
The leaves are oblong, oval, or elliptic in form, 10 to 15 cm in length, leathery, glossy, and deep green in color. Juvenile leaves are lobed.
Male and female flowers are borne in separate flower-heads. Male flower-heads are on new wood among the leaves or above the female. They are swollen, oblong, from 2.5 to 10 centimeters (1 to 4 inches) long and up to an inch wide at the widest part.
A mature jackfruit tree can produce about 100 to 200 fruits in a year.
Jackfruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, reaching 36 kilograms (80 pounds) in weight and up to 91 centimeters (36 inches) long and 50 centimeters (20 inches) in diameter. The exterior of the compound fruit is green or yellow when ripe. The interior consists of large edible bulbs of yellow, banana-flavored flesh.
When fully ripe, the unopened jackfruit emits a strong disagreeable odor, resembling that of decayed onions, while the pulp of the opened fruit smells of pineapple and banana.
The seed is 1.9 to 3.8 centimeters (3/4 to 1.5 inch) long and 1.3 to 1.9 centimeters (1/2 to 3/4 inch) thick and is white and crisp within. There may be 100 or up to 500 seeds in a single fruit.
The greenish unripe fruit is cooked as a vegetable, and the ripened fruit is eaten fresh for the sweetly acid but insipid pulp surrounding the seeds. The ripened fruit is also used to make a variety of dishes, including custards, cakes, ice cream or mixed with shaved ice as es teler in Indonesia or halo-halo in the Philippines.
The seeds from ripe fruits are edible, and are said to have a milky, sweet taste often compared to Brazil nuts.
There are 95 calories in 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of jackfruit.
Jackfruit is rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. It is a very good source of vitamin A and B-complex vitamins Vitamin C and Vitamin E. The fruit is also a good source source of minerals, such as iron, magnesium, potassium and manganese as well.
The health benefits of jackfruit include healthy hair and good eyesight, prevents indigestion, prevents anaemia, reduce inflammation, heart health, strengthen immune system, fights wrinkles it also helps in curing mental stress and skin diseases.
The word “jackfruit” comes from Portuguese jaca, which in turn is derived from the Malayalam language term chakka.
The common English name “jackfruit” was used by physician and naturalist Garcia de Orta in his 1563 book Colóquios dos simples e drogas da India.
Archeological findings in India have revealed that jackfruit was cultivated in India 3000 to 6000 years ago.
In Brazil, the jackfruit can become an invasive species as in Brazil’s Tijuca Forest National Park in Rio de Janeiro. The Tijuca is mostly an artificial secondary forest, whose planting began during the mid-19th century; jackfruit trees have been a part of the park’s flora since it was founded. | 2019-04-19T14:55:32 | http://justfunfacts.com/interesting-facts-about-jackfruit/ |
L3 Technologies has announced that it is investing more than $100 million (£75 million) in its soon-to-open London Training Center, supporting London Gatwick as the center of its worldwide commercial pilot training operations.
This significant commitment from L3 is designed, the company says, to meet increasing airline customer demand and to help address the worldwide shortage of commercial pilots.
Demand at the new facility has been strong, with many customers already confirmed to start training at the London Training Center when it opens in the first quarter of 2019. These include easyJet, WOW air, Norwegian and TUI. The facility will also support L3 Airline Academy cadet training programs.
The London Training Center will also house a production facility capable of manufacturing 30 Full Flight Simulators (FFS) per year. The increased FFS manufacturing capacity will be crucial in allowing the company to meet growing demand for its RealitySeven™ FFS devices.
“We look forward to opening the doors to our new London Training Center early next year and welcoming both current and new customers, pilots and cadets. Response from customers keen to train their pilots in our state-of-the-art environment has been incredible,” added Robin Glover-Faure, President of Commercial Training Solutions, which is part of L3 Commercial Aviation.
When fully operational, the London Training Center will include eight L3 RealitySeven FFS, four high-fidelity L3 Flight Training Devices, eight Flat Panel Trainers, eight classrooms and briefing rooms, as well as the production facility. In total, the facility will be home to more than 350 jobs. | 2019-04-20T10:25:31 | http://www.ftnonline.co.uk/2018/10/01/l3-commits-to-75-million-investment-in-london/ |
An ingredient is classified as a natural ingredient if no part of that ingredient has been altered even with non-synthetic ingredients. Basically, an ingredient is organic if it is not genetically modified and is free from pesticides and chemicals. We always start with searching for a certified organic ingredient for our products. However, many small producers can not afford the high cost of certifying their ingredients although they adhere to organic standards. As we do use some uncertified “natural” ingredients, we are not 100% organic. However, you may feel confident in knowing we always choose and source organic ingredients whenever possible. On average our products contain 85-95% organic ingredients and each organic ingredient is indicated with an *asterix on the label.
Why should I choose your products over others?
At Fresh From The Earth Body Care we believe that Mother Nature has provided us with everything we need to keep our skin healthy and glowing. Our products are made in small batches and are always fresh. We only use ingredients that are grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
I am allergic to some substances. Where do I find information on the ingredients in your products?
When you go to the product section, click on the product you are interested in. You will see a complete listing of the ingredients in that product.
All of our oils and toners are 100% vegan. We mainly use plant-based ingredients. However, in our creams we do use pure organic beeswax as an emulsifier. Our Skin Serum contains marine collagen which is not considered vegan. Please let us know if you have a specific request. We are always willing to make a custom facial oil or other vegan product that would correspond with the ingredients in our current product line. Please note we would never consider testing any of our products on animals.
Since your products contain natural and organic ingredients, are there any special instructions regarding their use?
Our creams are “denser” than commercially produced skin care products. We recommend that you use them sparingly. A little goes a long way. Always use a toner with the moisturizers. Your skin will soak up the nourishment and you will end up using less cream. Wait approximately 10 minutes to allow the skin to absorb all this goodness.
Why are your moisturizers called Sunshine Moisturizers?
That’s an interesting question. When we developed the formulation, we took one look at the final result and “Sunshine” came to mind. A great way to start the day!
At room temperature they will last up to 6 months. Refrigerated they will last 1 year. We have not experienced any spoilage within the stated time frames.
I wear makeup. How does that work with your moisturizers?
After applying the toner and moisturizer in the morning, wait for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to allow the skin to absorb the moisturizer. Only then should you apply makeup.
Since you do not use emulsifying agents, how do you prevent your creams from separating?
Actually, we do use beeswax and natural borax. These ingredients are natural emulsifiers. Should it ever occur that a small pool of liquid appears on top of the cream, just stir the cream and it will come together again. This does not affect the effectiveness of the product.
What is your refund policy and guarantee?
Any products that have been damaged during shipping will be replaced. Please contact us upon receipt of any damaged goods so we can immediately ship your replacement. Our product comes with a full 100% money-back guarantee. If, for any reason you are unsatisfied, just email us stating the reason you are unhappy, and you will receive a courteous and prompt refund within 24 hours. It’s that simple! However, we are always pleased to hear your feedback. We want you to be happy and excited to use our products and absolutely thrilled by their results! | 2019-04-22T16:28:42 | https://freshfromtheearthbodycare.com/faqs/ |

Author Tim Harris will be visiting our school for Book Week next Term!
The children are startled when they first enter the CENTRAL Central Intelligence Building as the walls magically appear and disappear. They should have paid attention to how they first looked when they entered and the marble reflected green onto their face - bilious (about to vomit or sick looking) as this is definitely the theme of the next three chapters.
How ironic is that! Charles Wallace has reminded Calvin of the warnings made to them but he fails to see that his attempt to go inside the man with red eye’s mind is leaving the others behind. He tries to fight but eventually is completely overcome by the power of IT - whatever or whoever that is!
Meg and Calvin have no choice but to go with Charles Wallace, knowing full well that he is hypnotised or overcome by IT. As Charles Wallace eats his turkey, Meg and Calvin question the man with red eyes, or the Prime Coordinator. This is the author’s opportunity to provide more information about Camatotz, and what the children can eventually expect will happen to Earth if IT has anything to do with it.
Madeleine L’Engle explains that anyone who becomes sick is killed (“We let no one suffer. It is so much kinder simply to annihilate anyone who is ill....Rather than endure such discomfort they are simply put to sleep.” Pg166). She also explains how the walls have been opened into doors and made into lifts by simply ‘rearranging the atoms’. Talking through Charles Wallace, IT tries to convince Meg and Calvin of the benefits of relaxing and giving into IT by appealing to Meg’s troubles at home for being different, and telling Calvin the only reason he doesn’t have any conflict is because he pretends he isn’t different. They argue that although the Earth isn’t perfect they know what happiness is, something that is not allowed on Camatotz. IT’s final message to the children is through the little boy they encountered earlier, who is now being punished in a cell with invisible walls with pain each time he bounces his ball out of rhythm.
Of course this horrible vision of the little boy in pain is followed immediately by Meg’s joy at finally seeing her father, trapped in the transparent column. Meg’s persistence really brought her power in this Chapter. She tries to physically knock IT out of Charles Wallace and when that fails she continues to deny his claims that going into IT will help her father. At the same time Calvin uses Mrs Who’s words to try to get Charles to push IT out of him and while they were struggling against one another inside Charles’ body this was Calvin and Meg’s chance to get to Mr Murry using Mrs Who’s spectacles. Charles Wallace’s anger at them taking the glasses out makes it clear that they are a very powerful force. Of course that is right and they allow Meg to travel from the outside to the inside to her father. But instead of being able to solve everything, her Father is unable to make the real Charles Wallace overcome IT and they are all lead down to the disembodied brain.
One thing that bothers me about these chapters is that Charles Wallace has, what seems to be, the same ability as IT to go into people’s minds, but he is the one who is controlled by IT but Meg and Calvin aren’t. How do they manage to resist IT when Charles Wallace has been overcome? Charles Wallace even says to Meg to just relax - to me, this means that Calvin and her aren’t easily controlled? What do you think? Do you have a theory on why Meg and Calvin still have free will whilst Charles Wallace has been hypnotised?
Chapter 10 to the end!
We have come to the end of the book! The last three chapters create the climax with the final understanding that Meg is, and always has been the chosen one- the one who must overcome IT with love. Up until this point, however, Meg has been so angry that it is hard to believe that she is able to work out that all they really needed to fight with was love.
“We look not at the things which are what you would call seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal. But the things which are not seen are eternal” (pg 225). Temporal is temporary, like most ‘things’ but feelings, which are not seen, last forever.
In the last chapter it is this, along with Mrs Which’s final conversation with Meg- that her only weapon is something that IT does not have, that allows Meg to come to the understanding that love is enough to conquer darkness.
I believe that this is the main message of this book- that Meg’s life has been full of darkness and ill-feeling because she is different, but the idea that love can conquer all of that is wonderful. This is also strengthened by the final reunion of the whole family, all full of love and happiness. Do you agree with my idea that conquering the dark thing was a symbol for Meg conquering the dark feelings inside of her?
Now that we have finished the book, what is your overall feeling about it? Would you recommend it to others? Who was your favourite character and why? What was your favourite part? If you could change something, what would it be?
How will each of these help Meg, Calvin and Charles Wallace find Mr Murry? What is the danger? What or who will they be meeting?
Meg is clearly displeased as her faults get her IN TO trouble all the time so she doesn’t know how they could ever be used for good. I think that her impatience will probably be one of the things that will help her overcome whatever they come up against.
It is difficult to know what ‘the resilience of childhood’ means for Charles Wallace. I think that perhaps because he is so young, if something really terrible happens he is young enough to not remember it or for it to have little impact on him.
Why do you think everyone on Camazotz seems to do everything in the same rhythm like robots? Are they being controlled in some way? They are scared of something or someone. Why?
This becomes even more dangerous and strange when Charles Wallace realises that he can’t get in to their minds. When they finally speak to the boy they realise that they will only get answers by going to the CENTRAL central intelligence.
The great adventure finally begins and impatient Meg believes she is finally going to see her beloved Father again. What she doesn’t know is that she is also going to see the most dreadful, evil darkness that is trying to take over the world.
Without warning, the three Mrs ‘tesser’ or ‘wrinkle’ Meg, Calvin and Charles Wallace through space and time to another galaxy, landing on Uriel to catch their breath and explain some of the reasons behind their secrecy. Charles Wallace’s ability to ‘know’ or read minds makes him protective of Meg and Calvin because they are not getting much of an explanation for any of the things that are happening to them. It is difficult to remember that Charles Wallace is only a toddler because he speaks so well and he stands up to the Mrs for his sister and friend.
Mrs Whatsit’s transformation into her natural winged, “marble white body with powerful flanks, something like a horse but at the same time completely unlike a horse...” was a powerful explanation to the children that there were things that were difficult to explain- that they would have to be shown to understand. When she whisks the children away on her back we are shown another very clear connection between Charles Wallace and these other creatures. When Meg asks Mrs Whatsit to translate the beautiful song they are singing Mrs Whatsit tells Charles Wallace, “...You can let yourself go now. You don’t have to hold back...” telling us that he is definitely connected to far more than just humans and that his special talents extend further than mind reading. Although he is clearly a very extraordinary boy, Charles Wallace is just as horribly affected by the dark thing they are shown. They can all feel the evil in this terrible shadow. For the first time, Meg makes the connection between this evil and her Father’s disappearance, “The dark Thing we saw, “ she said. “Is that what my father is fighting?”.
I’d love to see your comments on how you would feel if you were taken through a tesser. The description of Meg’s flattened out body as the Mrs took them through the 2-dimensional world reminds me of the paper doll books that my Mum used to buy me when I was little. You could push the paper doll figures out and then push out all sorts of clothes and accessories to dress them. I imagined Meg looking like one of those paper dolls and being able to fold this way and that!
I think this chapter should be called Yin and Yang. It is quite clear that Meg and Calvin are two pieces to a puzzle, like the Chinese idea that opposites can actually work together to be stronger than the individual parts. Calvin is so certain that everything is going to be wonderful and Meg expects the worst. Calvin is clever with words, Meg is best at Maths. They are like two perfect opposing pieces. Often, in books, two opposing forces provide balance to the story. I’m wondering if this is the case here, if Meg and Calvin have to use their strengths separately but also have to use their strengths AND weaknesses together to overcome something terrible.
Mrs Murry’s conversation with Meg also provides some of an explanation for the three Mrs. When they are discussing Charles Wallace’s and the idea that he is not like anyone else- that he is ‘new’, Mrs Murry says,”...but people are more than just the way they look. Charles Wallace’s difference isn’t physical. It’s an essence.” It’s not really until I re-read this chapter that I made this connection but I think that it’s important as it also helps us to understand the three Mrs because they are not really physical in the way the humans are but they are an essence of different beings.
Chapter 2 saw us learn more about Meg's family with a brief introduction into the twins' role in the family as the protectors. We also learnt more about Charles Wallace and his special ability to "know things" about Meg and Mum when he 'focuses' on them.
Chapter 2 introduced a couple of new characters as well - Calvin O'Keefe and Mrs Who. Calvin is somewhat of a misfit in his family as well. He is scientifically clever and we learn that he is like Charles Wallace - he can feel things and hear things, "Sometimes I get a feeling about things. You might call it a compulsion."..."When I get this feeling, this compulsion, I always do what it tells me. I can't explain where it comes from or how I get it, and it doesn't happen very often. But I obey it. And this afternoon I had this feeling that I must come over to the haunted house...". Charles Wallace confirms that he and Calvin are the same, "Mother's all right. She's not one of us. But she's all right" but also confuses Meg at the same time by saying that Meg has it tough because "She's not really one thing or the other." We're beginning to get this sense of uniqueness about the children and the purpose of them being at the haunted house with the three Mrs.
There is clearly magic or some other form of witchcraft going on at the haunted house when the children observe that there is a fire under the pot but no smoke coming out of the chimney. Like the children we expect to meet Mrs Whatsit again but are introduced to Mrs Who instead. Mrs Who speaks in English, as well as many other languages, and often recites sayings or poetry in those languages to make her point. She confirms that Calvin has come to the haunted house with a purpose, and it is implied that it was Mrs Whatsit who magically called him to the haunted house. Mrs Who also hints at an upcoming journey for all of them and insists that the children go home and get a good rest and feed before they are called for this mysterious adventure.
What does Mrs Who mean when she says "it's getting near time?" and how or what does she know about Mr Murry?
Who's idea was it to get Calvin involved and why? What does he add to the story?
What does Calvin mean when he says, "I've never even seen your house, and I have the funniest feeling that for the first time in my life I'm going home."?
This Term our Book Club chose "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle for our weekly Book Club adventure.
As I am writing this, we have already raced through the first five chapters and our next meeting, on Thursday 14th June will see us discuss Chapters 6 and 7. We have also invited students from around the world to participate in our discussions through this blog and look forward to hearing their ideas, thoughts and feelings about each book that we unravel.
Due to our progress so far with "A Wrinkle in Time' we have outlined our chapter discussions to date in this first post but will begin posting weekly from now on. Feel free to comment on any of the Chapters/discussions to date and let us now how old you are and where you are on the map.
I haven't seen the Disney movie version of this book - I wanted to wait until I had read it. I like to be able to visualise the characters and settings before I see someone else's interpretation of them. Some of our Book Clubbers have seen the movie but have been sworn to secrecy - no spoilers allowed!
We started off with the very stormy beginning to chapter 1 where we were introduced to Meg and her family. It was very clear that they were no usual family and that Meg was going through a tough time for a number of reasons.
Meg's father had gone away for work and had not been heard from for a long time and people in their small town had started gossiping about his disappearance. Meg is very close to her father so she is confused because she can't understand why he hasn't contacted them. Meg feels alone and strange, so different from the rest of her family.
Her teacher doesn't make her feel any better, either, "School. School was all wrong. She'd been dropped down to the lowest section in her grade. That morning one of her teachers had said crossly, "Really, Meg, I don't understand how a child with parents as brilliant as yours are supposed to be can be such a poor student. If you don't manage to do a little better you'll have to stay back next year." This adds to Meg's self-loathing: "I don't want him to grow up to be dumb like me" and "Maybe if I weren't so repulsive-looking - maybe if I were pretty like you - ". We get the sense that Meg is really struggling just to be a kid.
We also meet Charles Wallace, the youngest Murry child, Mrs Murry, the beautiful and brilliant scientist and Mrs Whatsit, the strange, oddly dressed neighbour, who arrived at their kitchen door in the middle of a raging storm. Charles Wallace is clearly a very unusual, gifted child: "How right he [Father] had been about that, though he himself had left before Charles Wallace began to speak, suddenly, with none of the usual baby preliminaries, using entire sentences. How proud he would have been!" and we see him directing much of the action in the kitchen during this hurricane-like night.
During Book Club we discussed how there seemed to be a hint of Charles Wallace's ability to know exactly what others were thinking, and after meeting Mrs Whatsit, that he and her were alike in some way. This Chapter closes with another hint that Mrs Whatsit knows far too much about the Murry family for someone who they barely know, when she says to Mrs Murry that there is such a thing as a tesseract.

Daniel Joseph’s proposal to Johanna was one for the books. An alumni of Rutgers University, Daniel coordinated with the college’s Zimmerli Art Museum that was showcasing a Louis Comfort Tiffany exhibit. He was able to stage Johanna’s engagement ring as part of the display, complete with a handwritten proposal in the museum case.
Today, the happily married couple who met on OKCupid.com, are parents to an adorable two-year-old son, Ryan. They recently opened a poké restaurant in Lake Mary.
When they first connected online, both Johanna and Daniel lived in New Jersey and were in their 30s, busy with their careers. Johanna traveled a lot for work, and Daniel was pursuing his master’s degree.
Online dating was a great, practical way for them to meet people, and as it turned out, the couple was living only 15 minutes away from each other.
Soon after, Johanna left on a month-long work trip, but they stayed in touch, communicating virtually through email and video chat. In 2014, Daniel and Johanna got married in the Turks and Caicos Islands with close friends followed up by wedding celebrations on both the east and west coasts of the U.S. with their families.
Una, a single mom at the time she met Dwayne, admits she was a little leery at first about online dating, but her friends at work encouraged her to give it a try. Within a few weeks, she connected with Dewayne. They talked over the phone for several weeks before deciding to meet in-person at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs.
“We walked and talked, just getting to know one another, and it was nonstop conversation,” says Una.
Dewayne and Una got married in Leesberg where Una is originally from, and they renewed their vows on their 10th anniversary on a beautiful, white sandy beach in Jamaica.
Together, the Coopers have four kids and nine grandchildren.
Sarah was not really looking for anything serious when she matched with Kevin via the online dating app Tinder. She was at a concert in Tampa where Kevin is from. They started chatting online, but didn’t meet in-person that day. Later on, when Kevin was visiting Orlando, the couple realized they were within a one-mile radius of one another and decided to meet up at Magic Kingdom.
On November 3, 2018, the football-loving couple had a football-themed wedding weekend alongside their closest family and friends.
Sarah’s advice for those looking for love online?
When Tina first saw Dan’s profile picture on Love@AOL, one of the original online dating services, she liked his casual beach look. They connected and then started talking on the phone.
Thankfully, Tina and Dan lived nearby each other and decided to meet up for their first date at the Orlando Ale House.
The dinner date went so well, Tina and Dan extended the evening to include a movie. After some time of dating, Dan, Tina, and her two daughters took a camping trip to Pennsylvania. “We barely knew how to camp, but one night over the campfire Dan told me he loved me, and soon after that he proposed,” says Tina.
The couple got married in Sanford and hopped on a honeymoon cruise to the Caribbean where they won a whopping $1,000 on a slot machine.
Sixteen-and-a-half years later, their love story continues to blossom. Tina and Dan chalk it up to simply having fun together. They also began working for the same real-estate company in 2004 and eventually opened up their own business in 2011.
The couple met online on PlentyOfFish.com. As fate would have it, both of them were from the same small town in Utah, making it more convenient to meet up in person.
Gary was on a trip at the time, but the couple planned a dinner date to meet in-person.
While Gary had tried online dating before, the whole concept was new to Sherry, who was encouraged by her family to give it a go.
Six months later, the couple got married and honeymooned in Cocoa Beach, eventually moving to Lake Mary in August 2017.
Gary, a myo-physiologist, was also able to help Sherry who had been suffering from severe back, leg, and hip pain. Today, the couple are partners in a local business helping clients with a variety of health issues.
Madeline and Adam Hawley met online on Match.com in July 2017 and got married exactly a year after they met.
The same week they met, Madeline was on the verge of giving up her Match.com membership. It was about to expire, and she wasn’t planning on renewing it. And then she met Adam.
Despite planning on a simple wedding ceremony at the courthouse, Madeline was convinced by her daughter Ashley to have a small ceremony at home with family, friends, and cake. Wasting no time, Madeline and Adam headed onward to their honeymoon in Mexico that evening. | 2019-04-18T11:07:34 | https://www.lakemarylife.com/lake-mary-news/article/love-at-first-byte |

"• Practice colors, counting, and learn about animals which live under the sea with Hape's Under the Sea Qubes set. It makes a great gift for an up-and-coming oceanographer when you're on the go.
• The Under the Sea Qubes set from Hape contains 12 pieces.
Serious bargain! Worth twice as much money in my opinion!
These are fantastic little creatures and such a bargain! The colours are lovely and bright, and as my son grows they will enable him to learn about colours and the names of the sea creatures. Fantastic for imaginative play and these are perfect for Christmas stockings. Really pleased wit this purchase.
My little boy absolutely adores his sea animals and since having them has learnt all the animals (especially sharks). He loves taking them to the aquarium with him and trying to find the different sea animals. The quality is brilliant and I can imagine they will be brilliant for counting once my son is a little older. Definitely one of my best buys! | 2019-04-18T23:11:03 | https://yesbebe.co.uk/hape/742-hape-under-the-sea-hape/ |

Recode Knoxville's Stakeholder Advisory Committee meets at the John T. O'Connor Senior Center.
The Recode Knoxville Stakeholder Advisory Committee met with Metropolitan Planning Commission executive director Gerald Green and city Plans Review & Inspections director Peter Ahrens on Dec. 4 at the John T. O’Connor Senior Center to discuss residential aspects of the third Recode draft and prospective changes contemplated in the fourth or “final” draft to be issued around Dec. 11. Only 10 of the advisory group’s 20 members were present for the half-day meeting.
The good news: There was a spirited discussion among those present about the several residential zoning requirements flashed on the screen. Tougher question: Where will we end up? A glimpse follows.
MPC’s PowerPoint presentation focused on the new RN-1 through RN-7 zones and the corresponding issues of density (always more density), design standards and the asserted need for balance between desired growth and the preservation of existing neighborhood character.
Balance? As now evolved, housing design standards will be issued only for single family (SF) houses in Established Neighborhoods (EN) and for multi-family structures in the other zones. Nothing for SF houses elsewhere.
Why? There was an expressed concern that we may discourage builders to address more complicated requirements – they might choose to build elsewhere. Yet the apparent trend is for folks to move closer to downtown. Group member Duane Grieve, an architect, said the earlier SF housing requirements were modest and would help us control the quality of future housing stock. He asked, “Aren’t we concerned about our community’s future?” Another rep asked whether we want “snub nose” housing developments? You know, the type where it looks like cars live in a street-facing garage structure with the drivers’ living quarters set in the rear?
Shouldn’t a house’s entrance welcome people instead of cars? A shorter driveway is cheaper to build. But uglier, too.
The earlier SF standards, now deleted, required the garage to be set back five feet from the front of the house and required amenities like a front-facing entrance door and some 15 percent of front wall to be window. Hardly onerous. A counter-argument was that different shaped lots might better use different arrangements.
That’s serious density. It is said we need “more diversity in housing types available.” It was not clear how far that goes. A question was raised by Amy Midis as to whether we might incentivize tear-downs of more modestly priced SF houses to build more-expensive high-rise housing in its footprint. She said that’s what happened in Houston: The indirect effect was to reduce the number of affordable houses.
Control? Density and the development activities related to it used to be the subject of neighborhood discussions with MPC before it adopted revisions to Sector Plans and One-Year Plans. It now appears that the new zoning code classifications may call most of the shots. When asked if we should amend those existing Sector and One-Year plans first, Green said no. “We’d be chasing our tail like gerbils on a wheel” if we tried that.
Recode remains both interesting and scary. It is important that we carefully vet this new future before it’s adopted. What vision are we pursuing? How much growth is too much? Talk to your council reps.

When Will Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) Get to Your Smartphone?
Google I/O 2012 Preview: What Does Google Have Up Its Sleeve?
Although the next version of Google's mobile operating system, Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), is expected to go live later this month, there will be a lag, as usual, between release time and when you might see the OS on your Android device.
That's because the handset makers, not Google, determine when to allow upgrades to their smartphones. The arrangement is supposed to foster innovation, but it also fosters frustration among users who can't get the latest version of Android in a timely manner--or in some cases, at all. It has also fostered a fragmented ecosystem that's vulnerable to attacks by hackers.
Aware of the "instant gratification" problem with Android, Google made a move to address it at last week's I/O developers conference with the release of a Platform Development Kit (PDK) for its OEMs. The kit does for hardware makers what a Software Development Kit (SDK) does for software writers.
However, even if PDKs speed up the adoption process, they aren't likely to have much impact on the initial release of Jelly Bean. Android 4.2 or even 5.0 may be released before many users see Jelly Bean--if they ever do. After all, Jelly Bean's predecessor, Ice Cream Sandwich, introduced in October 2011, is currently on only 10 percent of Android devices.
Which Phones Will Get Android 4.1?
Nevertheless, some Android devices will have Jelly Bean out of the gate. Google-branded phones--the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus--will have it, as will the company's new tablet, the Nexus 7, made by Asus.
Motorola's Xoom tablet will have the new version of the OS, too. The company hasn't made any statements about when Jelly Bean might arrive on its smartphones, such as the Razr; but now that the company's mobile division is part of Google, it is likely to adopt Jelly Bean sooner rather than later. Google completed its $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola's mobile business in May.
Samsung, which makes the Nexus phones for Google, will probably be quick to bring Jelly Bean to some of its phone models, especially its hot new Galaxy S III. In a statement to Pocket-lint, the Korean handset maker said that it will "soon" announce devices that it deems suitable for Jelly Bean.
As for handset makers HTC, Sony Mobile (formerly Sony Ericsson), and LG, Pocket-lint predicts that Jelly Bean will not arrive on their hardware anytime soon. LG acknowledged to the website that it is too busy trying to implement Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) to put much emphasis on Jelly Bean.
Of course the wild card in Google's grand design for Jelly Bean and future Android rollouts is what will happen in the messy patent lawsuit between Samsung and Apple in California. That litigation has already resulted in Samsung's being barred from selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet and Galaxy Nexus smartphone in the United States.
Although Google isn't directly involved in the legal wrangle, elements of Android are. An Apple victory in the case could have long-term consequences for Android's development.
The best 7-inch Android tablet you can buy today, the Nexus 7 delivers solid performance and usability at a value price; but it also has at-times funky text rendering and its lack of a microSD card slot makes the 16GB model the better option. | 2019-04-21T04:40:42 | https://www.pcworld.com/article/258784/when_will_android_4_1_jelly_bean_get_t0_your_smartphone_.html |

"A neutron crystallographic analysis of a rubredoxin mutant at 1.6 Ã… r" by T Chatake, K. Kurihara et al.
A neutron diffraction study has been carried out at 1.6 Å resolution on a mutant rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus using the BIX-3 single-crystal diffractometer at the JRR-3 reactor of the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. In order to study the unusual thermostability of rubredoxin from P. furiosus (an organism that grows optimally at 373 K), the hydrogen-bonding patterns were compared between the wild-type protein and a 'triple-mutant' variant. In this mutant protein, three residues were changed (Trp3→Tyr3, Ile23→Val23, Leu32→Ile32) so that they are identical to those in a mesophilic rubredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum. In the present study, some minor changes were found between the wild-type and mutant proteins in the hydrogen-bonding patterns of the Trp3/Tyr3 region. In this investigation, the H/D-exchange ratios in the protein were also studied. Because the target protein was soaked in D2O during the crystallization procedure, most of the N-H and O-H bonds have become deuterated, while essentially all of the C-H bonds have not. In particular, the H/D-exchange pattern of the N-H amide bonds of the protein backbone is of interest because it may contain some indirect information about the mechanism of unfolding of this small protein. The results are in broad agreement with those from solution NMR studies, which suggest that the backbone amide bonds near the four Cys residues of the FeS4 redox center are most resistant to H/D exchange. Finally, the detailed geometries of the water molecules of hydration around the rubredoxin molecule are also reported. The 1.6 Å resolution of the present neutron structure determination has revealed a more detailed picture than previously available of some portions of the water structure, including ordered and disordered O-D bonds. Crystallographic details: space group P21212 1 (orthorhombic), unit-cell parameters a = 34.48, b = 35.70, c = 43.16 Å; final agreement factors R = 0.196 and Rfree = 0.230 for 19 384 observed and 6548 unique neutron reflections collected at room temperature; crystal size 4 mm3; a total of 423 non-H atoms, 290 H atoms and 88 D atoms were located in this study. © 2004 International Union of Crystallography.

As the presidential primary season gets underway, everyone knows that the Democratic Party has shifted to the left. What does this mean for the upcoming primaries? As new analysis from the Gallup Organization shows, some parts of the party have moved much farther than others, a reality that foreshadows a divide between the educated white elites of the party and its loyal African-American and Latino base.
Let’s begin with the topline results. Over the past two decades, a party with a plurality of self-identified moderates at the end of Bill Clinton’s second term is now dominated by liberals, and this shift makes a substantial difference. Democrats of all ideological stripes now agree on guns, global warming, the role of unions, and the need to increase corporate taxes. This doesn’t mean unity on all issues: liberal Democrats are far more likely than other Democrats to favor legalizing marijuana, ending the death penalty, and—significantly—a government takeover of our healthcare system. The early skirmishing over Bernie Sanders-style “Medicare for All” may develop into a major fault-line as the intra-party debate intensifies.
Today liberals outnumber moderates by more than 20 points among today’s white Democrats, and conservative white Democrats are an endangered species. By contrast, African-Americans are more likely to consider themselves moderate than liberal, and twice as likely as whites to call themselves conservative. These findings help explain why Sen. Bernie Sanders did disproportionately well among whites but overwhelmingly lost to Hillary Clinton among African-Americans.
Comparing Table 2 with Table 1, we see that during the years from Bush to Trump, the liberal share of whites rose by 20 points, compared to just 8 points for African-Americans and 9 points for Hispanics. We also see that African-Americans are about as likely to think of themselves as moderate as they were in 2001-2006.
Education matters as well. During the 18-year period Gallup studied, the share of Democrats with a BA or more rose from 27 percent to 35 percent. The bulk of the gains occurred among whites, where those with at least a four-year degree increased by 13 points, from 29 percent to 42 percent, compared to 3 points for African-Americans (from 21 to 24 percent) and just 1 point for Hispanics (19 to 20 percent).
Education is linked to ideological orientation. 58 percent of Democrats with BAs, and 65 percent of those with post-graduate degrees, regard themselves as liberal, compared to only 32 percent with a high school diploma or less.
What stands out is that highly educated white Democrats are far more likely to self-identify as liberal than are African-Americans (or Hispanics) at equivalent levels of education. In fact, the 25-point gap between highly educated whites and highly educated African-Americans is identical to the gap between highly educated and less educated whites.
But doesn’t the emergence of millennials in the Democratic party change this picture? Not as much as one might expect. In the first place, the share of 18 to 29-year-olds in the party has risen by only 4 points, from 17 to 21 percent, in the period Gallup studied, while the share 50 and over has increased from 45 to 48 percent. And second, age cohorts don’t differ as much ideologically as they once did. The liberal share of Democrats 50 and older is 43 percent, compared to 49 percent for those 18 to 49—a modest 6-point gap. And the gender gap is even smaller: 47 percent of Democratic women are liberal, but so are 44 percent of Democratic men.
Nobody knows for sure what all this will mean for the Democratic primaries. But it seems reasonable to expect that white liberals such as Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Kirsten Gillibrand will do better among highly educated white voters than among highly educated black and Hispanics, or less educated whites. What this means on a state-by-state basis will depend on the demographic composition of each state’s Democratic primary electorate as well as the unfolding dynamics of the race.
One prediction seems safe: a candidate other than a white liberal who does well in mostly white Iowa or New Hampshire will be well-positioned to take advantage of less educated and more diverse electorates in the states—Nevada and South Carolina—that follow immediately afterward, and on Super Tuesday, which includes five southern states plus majority-minority California. | 2019-04-20T16:36:33 | https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2019/02/19/how-race-and-education-are-shaping-ideology-in-the-democratic-party/ |
Ever felt overwhelmed by the details? Like there are just too many little things to be done on the way to something big? If you haven't tried one recently, think back to the last time you tackled a 1000- or 5000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
Pursuing your goals is like opening up that box and dumping out all the pieces. You concentrate on that picture of the completed puzzle on the front of the box. You start sorting out the pieces according to what part of the puzzle they'll complete. You spend endless hours diligently working, but you know you'll never finish it unless you are enjoying the process of piecing it all together.
Small successes inspire you to continue. Maybe you have a "team" of others who help you put it together, or maybe you enjoy working alone. If you have a lot of responsibility at work, and are expected to run the show and perform without constant supervision, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But remember as you work that you carefully place one piece at a time, and you know that you are in charge and that you will enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Taking care of the little things can be extremely satisfying, especially when you know that's what it takes to keep the operation going and progressing toward your goals. A study published in Human Kinetics (Orlick, 1998) actually showed that "life satisfaction" is 22 percent more likely for those with a steady stream of minor achievements than those who express interest only in major accomplishments!
So keep at it - one piece at a time - with an eye toward the big picture. Enjoy the pleasure from all of your accomplishments, remembering the unattributed phrase, "True worth is doing each day some little good, not dreaming of great things to do by and by." | 2019-04-26T10:21:40 | https://www.thomaswhatley.com/blog/ |

What has changed the most in hearing technology over the past several years?
Rigorous research and development efforts have helped hearing aids evolve from large, unwieldy accessories to sleek, nearly invisible designs with a multitude of features. And according to Connect Hearing audiologist Jody Pogue, these transformations have made differences in the lives of millions.
However, Pogue explains that detailed engineering efforts have paved the way for instruments that fit the needs of the many, while providing the flexibility to accommodate each user’s unique patterns of hearing loss.
“Digital hearing aids changed everything. All of a sudden, instead of making everything louder, we were able to fit those people who had those high frequency hearing losses,” says Pogue.
John Cummins, a Hearing Instrument Specialist with Connect Hearing, sees similar opportunities from these staggering technological advancements.
“Competition has improved the market offerings, and technology has vastly improved in both receiver-in-canal (RIC) and custom hearing aids,” Cummins says.
Cummins adds that since the input of practitioners is essential in finding the right devices, consumers probably won’t be in a rush to try to navigate the buying and adjustment process without the help of licensed professionals.
But the increased awareness around hearing aids, thanks to attention from major retailers and the new hearing aid bill, will help relieve stigma around the devices, making them more accessible and opening the door to even better offerings.
Indeed, the fluidity of today’s technology is better than it ever has been. According to Rachel Allen, another Hearing Instrument Specialist with Connect Hearing, customization is becoming ubiquitous for hearing aids.
“Most [hearing aid] companies allow the user to make changes based on their environment so they can fine tune the sound to their preference,” she says.
This convenience, Allen believes, will likely morph into even more connectivity to hearing aids through advanced cell phone apps that allow users to manually tweak their hearing aid programs with a tap of their screens.
What exciting new developments are on the horizon for hearing aids?
The major changes in hearing technology over the last few years are just the beginning. Pogue points out that hearing aid users have a lot to look forward to, especially with advancing Bluetooth® features.
Cummins sees similar things on the horizon for hearing aids. “Bluetooth® connectivity and reduction of size in hearing aids, as well as longer battery life (for rechargeables) will help connect those with hearing loss to more devices,” he says.
What will hearing technology look like in five years?
From on-demand everything to social media to self-driving cars, tectonic technological shifts are transforming the way we live our everyday lives—and hearing care is no different. With their capacity to so vastly improve the lives of users, our panelists have high hopes for the future of hearing technology.
As for Cummins, he sees a future of highly intuitive technology on the horizon.
Plus, Cummins says, users will be able to seamlessly connect with the most cutting-edge fitness products.
With all of these projected developments, there’s certainly a lot to get excited about!
Our panel of Hearing Care Professionals publishes great information for our monthly newsletter. Topics can include: hearing loss, hearing aids, advances in audiology - and technology. | 2019-04-24T20:05:09 | https://www.connecthearing.com/blog/the-future-of-hearing-aids/ |
What I love about farro is that it is hard to mess up. I live in Denver where everything takes longer to cook and with farro I usually do 1 cup farro to 3 liquid- usually a broth of some sort. Then I can either strain it earlier for a chewier bite or let it get softer. We, too, eat it weekly and lately our favorite thing to do is toss it with an herb paste (whatever is on hand: mint, tarragon, parsley, cilantro,basil blended with s&p and good olive oil), fold in some caramelized onions, chopped nuts (loving the s&p pistachios right now), peppery greens (arugula is coming out our ears right now) and shaved parmesan. Then we eat it as is or top with a poached egg or grilled chicken or fish. Filling and versatile.
I've been using a lot of farro this month at Whole Foods Market Greensboro. Bring 2 cups lightly salted water or stock to a boil and combine 1 cup farro. Simmer 25 or 30 minutes or until liquid is mostly gone and farro is puffed up. Remove from heat, drain liquid. One cup dry yields 3 cups cooked. Can be used in salads that normally use rice or as a substitute for oatmeal.
Length of cooking time and whether or not to soak depends on if the farro is pearled or demi-perlato. I find that with demi-perlato or pearled 20 to 25 minutes with no soak is plenty of time. Whole farr requires a longer cooking time, like spelt or wheatberries.
Pierino, your version sounds totally delicious -- I'm doing that next time! I cook a big batch of plain farro on nearly a weekly basis -- I soak the farro (pearled) in cold water for 20 minutes, then drain and cover it again with fresh water. I add a few pinches of salt, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the farro is just tender but still has a nice bite. I drain it and then use it throughout the week in salads or "risottos," or simply heat it up, adding a little olive oil and grated parmesan and lots of black pepper.
Merrill, yes olive oil definitely belongs in there. The description above is more or less a Perugia style. In Assisi they probably do it differently. You can see Assisi from Perugia and vice versa.
I'm reasonably sure that Umbria "the Green Heart" of Italy consumes more farro than any other region. Preparations are simple and basic; begin with a broth made from a prosciutto bone. You might be able to find prosciutto ends at Whole Foods if you ask nicely. Otherwise substitute a ham hock. Add water aromatics (onion, carrot, celery), salt and pepper, cook until it's a broth. Add the farro and grated parmigiano or a parmigiano rind. Cooking time should be about 2 hours in total. | 2019-04-23T10:30:10 | https://food52.com/hotline/15130-how-to-prepare-farro |

Power Button - Episode 38: The Super Terrific Happy Hour!
This week's Power Button is another lost episode from the vault. Originally recorded on February 3, 2011 after the previous episode's doom and gloom, we at Power Button (that's Joey Davidson, Brad Hilderbrand, and me — Matthew Green — if you're a newcomer to our little program) decided to turn things around and do an entire show in which we only discuss games that we enjoy and genuinely make us happy. This mirthful hour covers our thoughts on the games were playing that week such as Killzone 3, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and the Complete Works version of Mega Man 2. Do we make it the entire show without expressing a negative thought? You'll have to listen and find out. Download this week's episode directly from PTB, listen with the player below, or subscribe via iTunes, and be sure to catch up on past episodes if you're joining us late. Remember that you can reach all three of us via and you can even follow all of us on Twitter at @PressTheButtons,@aubradley84, and @JoeyDavidson or for just podcast updates, @ThePowerButton.

A broken heart can come from getting broken up within a relationship, having someone cheat on you, lie to you, or being in love with someone who never shows you any love or attention at all. A broken heart can also come from losing someone to sudden death, or having a friendship suddenly end.
In some ways, a breakup can be a lot like losing someone to sudden death. Especially if the other person turns into a ghost. Meaning they just cut off all communication altogether Like a ghost, they disappear and become invisible.
So this is why it hurts so badly, and this is also the reason it can still hurt so bad even days, months, or years later. Because the energy (energy cords) from that person is still stuck in you!
And the only way to stop this pain is to have those cords removed! It’s like having a big splinter on the bottom of your foot. You are going to feel it for years if you don’t have it removed. As time goes by, you may learn to live with the pain, but the splinter is still there, and it will still hurt.
I remember one lady who had been hurting over 25 years. The story was that her ex-husband, after 30 years of marriage, left her for another woman. Turns out the other woman was her twin sister. I’m sure without me telling you, you realize she and her twin haven’t spoken for the last 25 years, and sadly, they were extremely close before this happened.
Anyway, she asked me if I could help her get rid of this pain she has been carrying for so long. She said it prevented her from trusting other people, getting close to others, and fully giving her heart to another person.
I don’t know if you remember me or not, but a year ago today, you changed my life completely! You removed a sadness from me that I had carried with me for many years!
P.S. To speak with me directly, you can schedule a reading at www.TanaHoy.com or call 614-444-6334.
Yup, my heart is broken. I didn’t know how to receive love because of my past relationships. I pray we get back together. If God grants me this… I’ll do everything different. | 2019-04-26T03:48:21 | http://www.tanahoy.com/heres-your-love-horoscope-for-december-2017/ |

Spyera has come a long way in the last few years, and has grown into a full fledge cell phone spying tool that offers the same advanced features as all the most complete solutions on the market. The company has been around for over close to two decades, being started as early as 1999, making them one of the oldest, and first cell phone monitoring services to have existed. Mixed reviews could be found online, but due to the time span and scarcity of the information available, it was difficult to make a clear call before putting the service to the test. I decided to purchase a three month license in order to see how well, or how badly it performed.
Spyera has a very complete suite of capabilities that rivals top service providers such as Flexispy and mSpy. The regularly featured functions are all present, ranging from collection phone call logs, text messages, address books, emails and multimedia files, such as pictures and videos taken with the device. They also support an impressive amount of third party chatting apps, as well as VOIP apps. Pretty much all the social media apps that can be monitored are available, with the exception of Facebook Messenger.
The dashboard appears similar to any other cell phone tracking service, which allows you to access all the logged data by app, or type. You can view all call logs, text messages, and web browsing history with timestamps, and even deleted content including emails still get backed up. GPS positioning can be tracked live using the cell phone’s live location coordinates, allowing you to map the device’s exact location with a visual display of travelled paths.
Additionally, Spyera is capable of more advanced monitoring and spying functions that only a few competitors offer. Call recording allows you to record and listen to saved calls later on. Live call listening is also possible, as well as ambient listening, which allows you to remotely turn on the microphone and listen in. Remote camera control is also available for rear cameras on iPhone and Android devices, allowing you to view, film and take pictures remotely. Facetime and VOIP calls are also recorded and logged for both cell phones and tablets.
Similar to Flexispy, they also offer a rather invasive password cracker which attempts to steal smart phone unlocking codes, as well as a variety of apps ranging from Facebook, Twitter, Google Apps, and even email accounts.
More remote functions are available to allow you to control and update the app in stealth mode through remote SMS commands. You can activate, deactivate, update or upgrade the app from your online dashboard, as well as verify cell phone or tablet battery levels, restart the device, and even delete text messages which contain designated filtered words set by yourself.
On first glance, the service seems to be very complete, but it does lack any kind of substantial parental control options. A good comparison would be mSpy’s ability to remotely block apps, websites, and any content that parents or employers may deem inappropriate or unnecessary. Unfortunately, this is where Spyera falls a little short. There is no way to restrict or block anything on the target device through their service. Otherwise, besides Facebook Messenger, the service is one of the most complete options available.
Spyera is compatible with all major platforms, and has not dropped service for older devices running Blackberry or Nokia Symbian operating systems. Different plans are offered for iPads and Android tablets as well.
Android 6.0+ – Advanced features require rooting.
iOS 5.x – 9.1 – Must be jailbroken to install app.
Blackberry OS up to 7.x – V10 coming soon.
Symbian Nokia – Any version.
Another positive result for Spyera was their stealth test. After downloading, installing and activating the app on both iPhone and Android platforms separately, the service left no visible trace of being present. We did detect a slight rise in battery usage, which is totally normal due to the backups over Wi-Fi, but the service remains completely inconspicuous. This is perfect for employers and parents wishing to keep tabs on their devices without divulging it, as well as proving theft protection and security, in case the device is lost.
Customer support during after sale issues was one of the common negative user review topics I came across. Some people we’re complaining that it would take more than a day before getting a response form the helpdesk. Luckily, it seems the company has considerably improved their help desk, and now answer all queries in 24 hours or less. I put the help desk to the test and sent 3 separate inquiries for different types of issues, and was able to get a response in less than 2 hours twice, while one ticket took 12 hours.
I don’t consider their ticketing system to be the best service I have seen, but at least they responded in a timely manner and properly answered my concerns with decent agents that knew enough to properly service technical issues. However, given that they don’t have a toll free number, calling long distance is probably not an option, and you’re left with nothing but the ticketing system, as no other alternative such as live chat is currently offered.
Spyera offers flat rates across all platforms, but split the plans between Smartphone cell phones, Tablets, or a combo plan for both. Each of the three plans offer different subscription period lengths. Tablet and smart phone plans are available for 3 month, 6 month, or 1 year subscriptions, while the tablet and cell phone combos only offer one or two year plans.
There are no stripped down or light packages available, and the lack of cost effective 1 month packages make you commit to a minimum of 3 months. If you search, you can find a 1 month package, but in my opinion, it costs too much to be worth it at $89. Comparatively to competition, the pricing is almost the same as Flexispy, which offers a similar selection of features. All in all, not the cheapest service, but definitely part of the most complete options available. If you’re looking for advanced remote control camera spying, mic bugging, call and video call recording capabilities, the price is in line with the best of them all, making this a good value purchase considering all features work as advertised. But, I would have liked to see a bigger discount on yearly plans to make it more competitive with Flexispy’s rates. As security, a 10-day money back guarantee is offered if you’re unsatisfied for any reason at all, allowing you to safely give is a test run.
After testing Spyera for a little over a month, I spent an equal amount of time on Android and iOS cell phones putting every service to use and logging the results. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not run into any bugs or failures when backing up logs, except for one instance where a WhatsApp chat log came back incomplete after running an update. This seemed to be a one off occurrence since I continuously tested all chatting apps aggressively afterwards. Facetime and VOIP video calls all properly recorded, and I was able to remotely listen in and activate the camera without any troubles.
The only downside to this service was the high cost, and inability to block, filter or control the available content on the device. Parents looking to have more control over installed apps, or what websites their kids can visit would probably prefer mSpy’s app. Employers might also need filtering functions, but they can at least rest assured that all activity will be visible regardless. In conclusion, Spyera is in direct competition with Flexispy, by offering a similar amount of advanced features at a similar price, even slightly higher. The two are too similar to easily declare a winner, therefore it may come down to a question of needs and preferences between the two lists of features offered.

The cPCIe / PXIe form factor is intended for integration into a chassis for modular instrumentation or large scale acquisition. The ADQ7 can operate in Compact PCI Express or PXI Express chassis. Using the multi-unit sync function, multi-channels systems can be achieved. ADQ7 support streaming of at least 5 GBytes/s for sending data to disk or additional computational cards over x8 Gen 3 cPCIe / PXIe backplanes. In a PXI Express chassis, the clock reference from the backplane can be used as clock reference for the digitizer. Backplane trigger is also supported to simplify integration. Note that the ADQ7 occupy 2 slots and extend to the left of the connector.
This mode enables a very long pre-trigger.
This mode is similar to triggered streaming. In addition it allows for very long pre-triggers; up to the entire record length. This allows for tracking the cause of events. For pre-trigger length below 16 kiSamples, us the Triggered streaming parameters. For pre-trigger length above 16kiSamples use the multi-record parameters. | 2019-04-22T02:17:22 | https://spdevices.com/component/seoglossary/1-glossary/M?Itemid=626 |
A number of competitions and activities are slated to enliven the country's upcoming total solar eclipse event on March 9.
In an attempt to popularise the occasion, the Tourism Ministry announced on Tuesday that it would hold video, photography and writing competitions for Indonesian citizens starting from March 1 until April 30.
Videographer Febian Nurrahman, who will serve as one of the judges, said that participants were encouraged to send at least one video file with a duration of between one and three minutes and a minimum quality of 720p.
"We are looking for original and interesting videos about the total solar eclipse that will attract viewers to visit eclipse destinations. The video footage can be a combination of aerial and ground shots," Febian told a press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday.
A total of Rp 30 million (S$3,124) in prize money has been prepared for the winner of each category. Further information regarding the competition can be found at http://indonesia.travel/pesonagmt.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, totally or partly obscuring the sun from earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon's apparent diameter is larger than that of the sun, blocking all direct sunlight and turning day into darkness.
BMKG head Andi Eka Sakya has said that the total eclipse would be visible in 11 provinces: Bengkulu, South Sumatra, Jambi, Bangka-Belitung, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, West Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi and North Maluku.
Balikpapan Tourism Agency head Oemy Facesly said the city had prepared activities surrounding the phenomenon at Manggar and Banua Patra beaches, including a study and a seminar on astronomy, a beach party and a dragon boat race.
Several regions have also planned to host sports events such as a 10K running competition in North Maluku, a Glowing Night Run in South Sumatra, an Ultra Beach Run in Belitung and a rowing competition in Central Sulawesi.
Meanwhile, mosques in the Muslim-majority regions of Bangka-Belitung and Central Sulawesi will reportedly host an eclipse prayer. | 2019-04-18T20:48:23 | https://www.asiaone.com/travel/competitions-activities-set-pep-total-eclipse-celebrations |
I've been buzy lately, but I'll quickly give you an update.
The quest for an internship has come to a good end. Next month I will be joining the team at Hoaxland for a while. Pretty exciting, but I'm sure it will be fun and learnful.
I've bought two books on animation in maya (How to cheat in Maya 2013, about general animation techniques and Stop Staring, about facial animation), as well as Jason Schleifer's AFR series. So I know what to do.
I returned to gaming a little bit, blame Gabe Newell and his sweet steam sales.
Recently finished Portal 2 and man, what a game :). Also 'Thirty Flights of Stairs', a very short storydriven indie game with no real gameplay whatsoever, you have to find out what the story is through the environment and the characters. I like that kind of mechanic. It really pulls you in and lets you explore and imagine.
Nice music as well :). | 2019-04-20T19:15:15 | http://pauwelnomes.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-new-year.html |
In the 21st century, we face new challenges. Bush and Blair’s 'war on terror' resulted in internment, use of evidence obtained by torture, and control orders akin to house arrest. Members of the Society have been professionally engaged in defending the human rights of those caught up in these abuses. The Society works closely with Liberty and the Campaign against Criminalising Communities (CAMPACC) in support of civil liberties and fundamental rights. Our members were involved in challenging the legality of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. We are committed to achieving justice and human rights for the Palestinians and several of our members have worked in Palestine for human rights centres.
Our 'Close it Down – Bring them Home' campaign called for the closing of Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp and, joins with Amnesty International and Reprieve, in calling for an end to the abuse of 'extraordinary rendition' and the return to the UK of all prisoners who have ever had rights of residence here.
The old themes will not go away. Every year the government proposes new assaults on the jury system, the rights of defendants in criminal trials and on the rights of refugees. Despite the historic achievements of the Law Centre Movement, today access to justice is shrinking, not expanding and we must campaign to defend legal aid. Young lawyers now face the most daunting challenge in decades in their commitment to provide access to justice for all and the Haldane is active in its support for Young Legal Aid Lawyers.
"The struggle to change class-bound laws and corrupt or class-bound procedures, and to preserve and extend the real gains of the practical struggles of the past – and indeed to defend not only the trade union and labour movement but also the individual from the new pretensions and resources of state power – remains on the daily agenda. And in this struggle we very much need the skills of radical and Marxist lawyers". | 2019-04-21T22:02:39 | http://www.haldane.org/our-history/2015/11/5/new-century-new-challenges-and-old-themes |

This U-HAUL truck was so dirty the driver door window looked like someone threw up all down it the inside of the truck was just a nasty. This was very disappointing for the price of money you pay to rent something and the people renting the out should be held accountable for not checking to see if it's properly cleaned. I feel I should have done kind of discount refunded. Sincerely Devon????
Person in the pick up location didn’t even know what was going on. The truck was not full of gas and I was expected to fill the truck all the way back up.
Location was in an area of questionable safety. I was approached by homeless wanting money. Truck was empty even though records showed half tank. Had to persuade clerk to let me replace the gas at their cost. Found drug paraphernalia in the rear of the truck after getting it home. Location had no boxes for sale but sold synthetic marijuana and other drug paraphernalia. I will not use that location again!!!
They are very slow with their service. They don’t seem to know exactly what they are doing. Or, at least for me, they did not instill confidence that they knew what they were doing.
The location is convenient if using the online check-in and return. I chose to enter the store and check-in in-person. That was challenging. I would not recommend. At the end of the process I am pleased. I had trouble with the reservation process and billing. I di not get the vehicle reserved. I was billed at a higher rate than quoted. Customer service listened and acted to my satisfaction. The final bill was per the online quote.
The automated reservation system was horrible, the first person reserved a truck when I requested a towable thankfully we were cut off and the second person redid everything - I was told I would receive a call to schedule a pick up time, I never received that call, when I called, the individual at the pick up site was clueless, I ended up calling a different location that I had used before (said he did not have one in my size, as I preferred to rent from him) - but he was very helpful and got everything straightened out.
I intended to pick up a truck the size that I actually ordered. I ordered a dolly and other supplies. This facility did not have those.
I did not get the correct number of blankets. There was no help in hooking up the trailers and no pre-rental inspection. The woman behind the counter just pointed to where the trailer was park. | 2019-04-25T16:58:49 | https://es.uhaul.com/Locations/Trailer-Rentals-near-Columbia-SC-29210/043107/ |

We have just returned from our latest field trip to Limousin, where we have been advancing our research into the asteroid impact which took place there a little over 200 million years ago. Our blog this month provides an overview of this devastating impact and introduces our guide to visiting residual evidence of the event.
Nos publications sont maintenant disponibles sous forme imprimée et sous format pdf. Le prix de ce dernier est £2.99 et c'est très pratique si vous voulez l'emporter en vacances par exemple.
Asteroid impacts are one of the most devastating natural events that occur on Earth. Many people will have heard or read about the impact which presaged the death of the dinosaurs. This impact, which was most likely a comet rather than an asteroid, happened 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous geological period, and struck the Earth just off the coast of Mexico. It coincided with a mass extinction of life on Earth, and more than 75% of species became extinct during this period.
The Cretaceous – Paleogene mass extinction however is not the only one to have occurred during Earth’s history. The most devastating mass extinction took place at the end of the Permian period (252 million years ago) when up to 95% of all species became extinct. Altogether, at least 5 mass extinctions (where >70% of species were lost) have occurred. One such event was during the Rhaetian age, at the Triassic – Jurassic boundary 201 million years. This extinction event coincided with a large asteroid impact in the Limousin region of France.
‘France’ however was not at the time what we would recognise as France today. The landmass of the Earth was very different and the region we now know as France, and indeed all of Europe, was part of the super-continent of Pangea. The climate of the time was much hotter and drier; France had no ocean boundary and was most likely similar to inland regions of today’s Morocco.
Centred on the tiny hamlets of La Judie and Valette near Rochechouart, a 1.5km sized iron-rich asteroid hit 201.3 million years ago. Based upon the available geological evidence (there is no remnant impact crater; this has long-since been eroded away) we present in our booklet our research as to the nature and type of asteroid which hit. We conclude that the impact progenitor was an Apollo class asteroid, of spectral classification type X, iron-rich with a density of 7000kg per cubic metre, an irregular shaped object in the size range 700m to 1.7km maximum dimension; and impacting the earth at a velocity of around 25km per second. An ‘Earthquake’ of magnitude ~11 on the Richter scale would have been felt across the hemisphere.
All life within a 500km radius of the impact point would have been eradicated immediately by the shock waves and heat generated by the event. The dust expelled into the atmosphere would have led to significant obscuration of sunlight, and this would have led to the consequential failure of ocean phytoplankton and plant-life photosynthesis. Wider global effects would have been climate changes and global cooling. Life on Earth would have had to contend with food supply disruption (shortage) and environmental and climate changes. Only some species would have been able to adapt quickly enough to survive.
The Limousin impact, although very effectively wiping out all of France, would not on its own be large enough to cause global catastrophe. However, the impact coincided with the break-up of the continent of Pangea and the start of the formation of the Atlantic Ocean by plate-tectonic motions and the separation of the American and European continents. The (now mid-ocean) Atlantic ridge began to form and massive volcanic activity would have resulted. This volcanism would have expelled huge quantities of dust and gas (including greenhouse gases) into the atmosphere, and acidified the Oceans by ‘sub-marine injection’ of sulphur. The Limousin impact and the plate tectonic events together would have initiate the collapse of species, which would have occurred within a few thousand years.
In the short booklet presenting our researches, we review what is known about the Earth’s mass extinctions; we look in detail at what France was like in the Rhaetian; what flora and fauna were present; the Rhaetian atmosphere; the geological evidence for the impact; and the nature of the object which hit the region.
We also provide a guide for visitors to the region to be able to explore sites of topical interest and what to look out for. The region is not only interesting from a geologists and asteroid-researcher’s perspective, the Chateaux of the region, the fine wine and food, and wonderful and peaceful nature of the region make Limousin an excellent place for a holiday.
Fortunately, significant impact events are very rare. For those interested in looking more into asteroids, and current programmes into evaluating and mitigating asteroid strikes, we recommend our book on ‘The Asteroids of the Solar system’.
An introduction to the Asteroids; their discovery, orbits, nature and the threat they pose human-kind.
We will take a brief look at the Meudon observatory in France. Founded in 1876 by Jules Pierre Janssen, Meudon is one of the foremost research institutions for solar physics. At 12 km south west of Paris, and set within formal landscaped gardens, it is in easy reach of central Paris as the town of Meudon is served by an RER train line.
Our next blog will be issued on the morning of the 26th August.

Savvy government and business leaders understand the power of communications. Effective communications can unify an organization, effect change, and build business. Developing a sound strategy and putting proven business processes and management into place that promote efficiencies are critical to success as well as netting a solid return on your budget and time investment.
Regardless of whether you are launching a new communications strategy or taking a fresh look at an existing outreach program, you may want to consider incorporating the following basic steps.
1. Start with your organization’s strategic plan. Effective communications work for the organization with communications objectives, strategies, and tactics supporting the organization’s objectives, goals, and strategies. For example, your communications goals should track with and support your organization’s goals, all working together purposefully to achieve a desired and agreed upon end state. Solid metrics incorporated into your strategic plan can serve as a guide for communications metrics as well, which are essential in terms of tracking the effectiveness of campaigns and determining return on investment (ROI) for your efforts and budget resources.
2. Rally the troops. Internal support underpins all effective brands and is crucial in developing both internal and external communications. Involving important individuals from diverse areas of your organization can provide invaluable insight and become strong supporters poised to carry your message. Additionally, while your internal team may know your organization better than anyone else, trusted external partners can provide skills and an outside perspective on your organization and external audiences. Utilizing an external professional to conduct facilitated staff meetings for strategic planning and messaging can be valuable to tease out important information and to build consensus internally.
3. Work on (and strengthen) your core. Integral to any communications strategy are core messages that speak to target audiences. Ultimately, you want to get “your story straight” and your team onboard with your messages before you rollout your brand, or initiate outreach. Leadership messages, such as the company vision, mission, and value statement often serve as a good starting point for messaging. You may want to consider communications training to get everyone aligned with new messages. The training can also incorporate message development. By enlisting the group’s help, it will instill a sense of ownership among key staff and have a positive impact on your entire communications program.
4. Be strategic about your tactics. Identification and development of communications tools, such as electronic media, press kits, videos, brochures, and outreach activities should flow logically from and in support of your communications strategies. Methodical planning will enable you to establish metrics for your overall campaign including individual tactical efforts. Core messages and strategic planning that has been done earlier should serve as the basis and assessment of your brand and all tactical materials. Seasoned creative, communications, and public relations professionals know how to develop and execute tactical materials based on communications strategies and messages. Review of these materials should be based on a set of criteria that ensures content and graphics are on strategy and speak to your audiences.
5. Put management processes into place. Communications need to be diligently managed, employing proven business practices with ongoing reviews and evaluation of metrics, opportunities, and new challenges. The best time to establish guidelines and any delegation of management or development responsibilities is early in the process, during the planning stage. Selecting appropriate individuals to shepherd specific projects, review copy or creative, can make or break your program.
Managing and sharing communications internally is another important consideration. How will internal communications be managed? What is the process for sharing information internally to ensure that everyone continues to get onboard and communicate using consistent messaging? | 2019-04-21T02:59:32 | http://thomaswrightpartners.com/5-essentials-for-building-a-successful-communications-strategy/ |

think big for your students with a disability. Your school and our future will benefit.
Too often, autistic students have especially poor educational outcomes because schools have very low expectations of autistic students. Educational outcomes will improve when autistic students are expected to have normal achievements.
This is a serious change that needs to be driven from the very top of the education system.
To help make certain that children with disabilities are held to high expectations and have meaningful access to a State’s academic content standards, we write to clarify that an individualized education program (IEP) for an eligible child with a disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) must be aligned with the State’s academic content standards for the grade in which the child is enrolled.
Australia would benefit substantially from federal (or state) law, regulation or at least guidance that requires, whenever possible, the same academic expectations of students with disability as there are for other students.
Please enact the best you can achieve (law, regulation, guidance) to ensure autistic students within your jurisdiction have the same academic expectations as other students unless there is a compelling reason an individual student to have a different expectation.
Following is the progress of this issue and communication with the various Education Ministers and shadow ministers.
Thank you for your email about the need for leadership to drive bigger thinking for students with autism. I will work with my colleague Stephen Dawson, our Shadow Minister for Disabilities, to ensure our policies and practice reflect this if we are elected to government in 2017. | 2019-04-19T16:21:36 | http://a4.org.au/node/1182 |

The teachings of the Old and New Testaments tell us that the Messiah comes with the authority of the Father to meet the person in the position of God the Mother, who is the substantial form of the Holy Spirit, and restore the position of the True Parents.
I realized that I wasn’t alone: when I faced some difficulties, I heard the absolute voice in the air that said “Don’t move.” So I became a person who could live with the absolute voice, which no one else knew.
The day will come when the coming Lord can establish the bond of lineage linking God to His sons and daughters. Suppose that when Jesus came to the earth as God’s only begotten Son, he had not died on the cross. Since he was God’s only begotten Son, God surely would have sent His only begotten Daughter to him.
In the Bible we read a passage, “My soul still seeks but I cannot find: One man among a thousand I have found, But a woman among all these I have not found.” (Eccl. 7:28) God has searched for 2,000 years to find the Bride. | 2019-04-18T14:57:37 | http://www.trueparentsway.com/2019/02/05/the-twelve-days-of-hyo-jeong-the-first-day-the-evening-of-heavenly-parents-day/ |

Considering the current allocation of ODA (Overseas Develpment Assistance) around the world, we believe that it is possible to conceive precise and timely interventions where our work directly benefits our target populations: low-income, out-of-town communities, or communities living in townships and small cities within a rural environment.
WTA intervenes on surveys and management missions in the fields of water supply, sewerage, drainage (black, grey and rain water), sanitation, sludge management, irrigation and flood management. WTA also intervenes through support and assistance missions to donors, local authorities, international inter-governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations.
Over the years, WTA experts have developed very strong competencies in WASH emergency context interventions and coordination worldwide, including in geopolitically unstable regions and countries affected by natural disasters.

While advertising itself is competitive, the business of securing airtime is concentrated, a study finds.
The combined market power held by a handful of media-buying agencies poses a serious threat to television broadcasters, according to a special report prepared by the Israel Antitrust Authority.
The report, obtained by TheMarker, found that competition among advertising agencies is intense, with dozens of large agencies holding a 40% aggregate market share and dozens of others holding sometimes no more than 1%. The financial barrier to entering the field is relatively low.
The problem, according to the report, has to do with agencies buying up airtime to ensure that their clients' message reaches a large number of consumers.
Over the last decades, ad agencies have begun setting up their own media-buying units or banding together to give them better bargaining power when it comes to setting rates and other terms with television broadcasters. Advertisers who buy airtime jointly enjoy immense leverage, according to the report. In addition to helping them secure the best placement - the first ad in a commercial break, for example - it also saves them money.
"Media-buying involves many fewer competitors than ad agencies," said the report, adding that one firm, McCann Erickson, enjoys a market share of more than 30%, while several others (TMF, Zenith, MediaCom and Union Media ) hold between 14% and 18% of the market. Several advertisers and ad agencies also buy media directly without going through ad placement firms.
The antitrust authority began work on the report after two ad agencies, Baumann Ber Rivnay (Saatchi & Saatchi Israel ) and Gitam BBDO, asked to merge their media-buying operations.
The report is considered a driving force behind Antitrust Commissioner David Gilo's recent decision to bar TMF and Zenith Israel from jointly buying advertising time. Gilo has said he plans to look into broader strategies for dealing with the issue as well.
The report is scheduled to be presented on February 28 at aconference on competition sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The antitrust authority first dealt with the matter in 2008 when it refused to allow Reuveni Pridan and Shalmor Avnon Amichay (Young & Rubicam ) to maintain their partnership with United Media. Both agencies were controlled by the international Interpublic Group and it was thought that they would therefore wield too much combined power.
"The partnership held about a 40% market share," said the report. "Upon examination it revealed rising market concentration in media purchasing and an increase in fees paid by television stations. The large media buyers grew larger while the small firms disappeared from the market."
But in 2010 the commissioner decided to allow Universal McCann and the Glickman advertising agency to combine their media-buying efforts for three years. "An examination of the industry today shows a change in trend of concentration that was seen in the past," the decision said.
Now, following its more in-depth study, the commission's viewpoint has apparently changed again. The report outlines four components of the advertising market: companies advertising their products and services, ad agencies, media planners and buyers, and the media itself. It focuses primarily on television, which captures more than 40% of all advertising spending in Israel. According to the report, television is characterized by fixed costs that aren't affected - at least in the short-term - by the number of viewers or the sale of airtime; therefore, lost revenue can't be compensated for by lowering expenses.
On the other hand, the supply of TV advertising is limited to about 40 minutes during primetime. In fact, broadcasters regularly sell less than that, in an attempt to limit supply and keep rates high.
The report also points to a lack of transparency among media buyers when dealing with advertisers, who usually aren't aware of prices for rating points and don't receive full credit on discounts.
One result of the power accumulated by media buyers is that advertisers usually choose to work with ad agencies that also control ad placement firms and can therefore offer them package deals, according to the report. The few that hire both separately are usually international companies or companies with particularly large advertising budgets.
The commissioner has also found instances of ad agencies refusing to provide creative services to clients who don't also buy media through them. This gives a significant advantage to larger agencies that control media-buying operations. | 2019-04-19T09:18:16 | https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/business/antitrust-eyes-ad-buying-in-the-tv-industry-1.5228546 |

Tilapia cage culture is growing tilapia in cages made of nylon nettings and bamboo frames that are floated, submerged or fixed at the bottom. It utilizes bodies of water such as dams, rivers, lakes, bays, reservoirs and coves. This is one of the effective technologies used in raising tilapia. It started out in 1974 in Sampaloc Lake and Laguna Bay and being practiced now in different regions like in Magat Dam Reservoir in Region II.
There are two types of cage design — fixed and floating. The fixed cage is suitable with a water depth of 1 to 5 meters and the usual size is 50 to 200 square meters.
The floating fish cage, on the other hand is from 5 meters deep and about 50 x 25 x 3 cubic meters depending on the area where the fish cage is placed. It is supported at the bottom with a stone weighing 40 to 100 kilos and covered with a net to prevent the fishes to escape.
The success of the project depends on the quality of breeds or species of fish as well as the production capability of the selected site in enhancing the maximum growth of the fish. Tilapia species is widely used as fish stock because it grows fast. It takes only four months for fingerlings to reach an average weight of 100 grams.
Water circulation. The Magat Dam has water current circulation throughout the area that gives a continuous flushing of water inside the cages, making dissolved oxygen highly available to fish and wash out metabolites. Wind direction from northeast to southeast or vice versa prevails in the months of March to August. The prevailing winds augment the distribution of natural fish food within the dam.
Protection from winds and waves. Locate the site in waters protected from strong wind action and water currents caused by flush flood or heavy runoff. In the Magat Dam, there are few floating debris; the quantity increases as the wind changes its direction and force. However, this could be checked by providing floating bamboo barricades or wave breakers facing the direction of the wind.
Dissolved oxygen concentration. The ideal range of dissolved oxygen concentration on the water must be at least 3 ppm (parts per million). For tilapia, a lesser ppm is not considered lethal. However, growth and reproduction is greatly affected.
Temperature. This is one factor that plays a major role in the growth of the fish stock. The suggested range is from 20°C to 30°C. The lethal temperature levels are 12°C and 42°C.
Pollution. The fish-farmer should know the effect of thermal, biological and chemical pollutants to the fish stock which may come from domestic, industrial and agricultural sources. pH Level. To enhance a better growth, the recommended pH range is 6.8 to 8.0.
Accessibility. The site must be accessible to land and water transportation to facilitate bringing in of inputs and marketing of produce.
Other factors. One social problem existing in any fishery establishment is poaching. Poachers get into the project at night, bore hole on nettings to let the stock escape, then set gill net on surroundings of the project. This gives a bountiful catch overnight. This problem can be remedied by the management by establishing good public relation with the people in the vicinity. Another consideration is the source of fingerlings for periodic stocking.
The design of fish cages is determined by the behavior of the culture species. For Tilapia nilotica, which is less active and sometimes territorial in habitat, the shape of the cage does not affect its mobility. In this case, design rectangular cages for easy assemblage and management. The arrangement of the cages is not a problem if there are only few of these. However, 8 or more should be arranged depending upon the direction of the wind.
There are many kinds of nets that could be used for cage fabrication. The most common are the B-net (1/4″ mesh), DD-net (3/8″ mesh) and CC-net (1/2# mesh). However, the most popular is the B-net because smaller fingerlings do not need a nursery cage. It is cheaper per unit area because it is wider (108 inches) than other nets, hence, labor cost in fabricating cages is much lower, and tearing of one or two meshes do not easily provide an escape route for bigger fish.
Generally, floating net fish cages are made of nylon nettings supported on all sides and corners with polyethelyne rope fixed by a nylon twine. Each is hung within a rectangular area, the top is supported by bamboo braces and the bottom is provided with lead sinkers. The size of net cages used in Magat Dam for commercial production of tilapia is 6 m deep, 6 m wide and 12 m long. This size makes possible the full utilization of bamboo poles and nets. To do it, hang the net cages in bamboo raft type frame which also serve as catwalk for workers allowing 1 m of the net above the water level and fix the synthetic ropes to four corners of the poles to prevent the fish from escaping by jumping out. The longest side of the cages is oriented perpendicular to the direction of the wind.
Double-lace every mesh of the four corners using nylon twine 210 d/6, double-twine beginning at the second mesh row using rolling hitch or clove hitch with a single hitch as lock at intervals of 7.62 – 10.16 cm.
Double-lace the nylon salvage net to the top edges of the cage with a nylon twine, using either a rolling hitch or clove hitch with single hitch as lock. Start the second half from the second mesh row.
Rig all sinkers (No. 7) to the rib lines of the bottom side and centers. Attach the rib lines on all sides using rolling or rib hitch with an interval of 7.62 – 10.16 cm.
Make splices on the four corners of the hanging lines (top portion of net cage) for the attachment of four stretching ropes with weight. Continue with the other units following the same procedure. | 2019-04-20T06:17:02 | http://www.mixph.com/tilapia-raising-in-cages/ |

The story sounds like a fun, light rom-com revolving around a popular, talented actress and a handsome dermatologist who won a Hippocrates award for providing free treatment to patients with burn scars otherwise unable to afford it. Many of the keywords being thrown out in the plot description sound pretty run-of-the-mill for a rom-com: The heroine is romantic while the doctor doesn’t believe in love, they’ll have a childhood connection, and because of some unexplained circumstances, the two leads will enter into a contractual relationship.
Chun Jung-Myung and Yoon Eun-Hye are cast in drama series “Fluttering Warning” (literal title). The drama series is based on webcomic “Seolremjoouibo” by Seo Han-Kyeol. In addition, Han Go-Eun is cast for a major supporting character role. In the drama series, Chun Jung-Myung will play dermatologist Cha Woo-Hyun. Yoon Eun-Hye will play popular actress Yoon Yoo-Jung. They get involved in a scandal and enter into a contract to pretend they are in love.
Exact broadcasting station or airing dates have not yet been decided.
Chun Jung Myung posted the episode 1 & 2 scripts for "Love Watch" (working title), a drama with Yoon Eun Hye as the female lead.
another ,it seems that this actress is going to play like his mother.
Another long wait...I like Chun Jung Myung.
OMG! Yes Yes! I love these 2 separately, even moreeeee love as a pair.
Dear drama, please be good. It's been forever since we saw YEH on screen. Can't wait!
yay!! can't wait for this drama... waited for YEH for almost 5 years!!!!
She's been gone for almost 5 years? Is it Lie to Me her last drama?
No. It was Marry Him if You Dare/ Mi Rae's Choice back in 2013.
nope.. Lie To Me was 2011. she had a couple of dramas after lie to me.. I Miss You and Mirae's Choice.
I didnt watch Mi Rae's Choice so i guess for me its longer then. Thank you.
@ohoheli thank you too for the info.
First look of Chun Jung Myung for the drama .
More details have been revealed for Yoon Eun Hye’s and Chun Jung Myung’s small screen comebacks!
The two actors will lead “Love Watch” (literal translation), a drama remake of a popular web novel. It follows the life of top actress Yoon Yoo Jung (Yoon Eun Hye), and her romance with the ever-so-charming Cha Woo Hyun (Chun Jung Myung), the director of a dermatology clinic who seems to be the object of affection for countless women.
It notably marks Yoon Eun Hye’s first drama in five years since “Marry Him If You Dare,” and Chun Jung Myung’s first in two years after “Master: God of Noodles.” Han Go Eun, Kim Byung Gi, and Oh Mi Hee are also set to appear in the drama. | 2019-04-20T18:22:32 | https://forums.soompi.com/topic/420260-drama-2018-fluttering-warning-love-watch-%EC%84%A4%EB%A0%98%EC%A3%BC%EC%9D%98%EB%B3%B4/ |
The term, Superfood, became part of the diet and nutrition in the decade of 1990s, around the time a cookbook, Superfoods, written by alternative medicine practitioner Michael Van Straten, was released.

Yes, they can look stiff and formal. But I like glads because they remind me of our mother. Not only because Gladiolus is August’s birthday flower, and August 31st – today – was her birthday. It’s because of a piece of art she made, a print of some coral-coloured gladioli.
Both our parents were gifted artists. Both were art-school medallists in painting (he) and textile design (she) who, for so many reasons, never made full use of their talents.
But after a lifetime of waitressing and sales-clerking jobs, our mum went back to school at George Brown College to update her printmaking skills. Sadly, she died shortly afterwards, at age 57. In fact, this year is the 30th anniversary of her very last birthday. She left us with a portfolio case of her final works, including these glads.
A detail of our mother’s print. Please excuse my bad iPhone photo, which doesn’t do it justice.
There were enough copies of this print for us to share with our mother’s siblings after she died.
She’d be pleased with the glads in my opening shot, which I grew myself – for the second year running. The original bag was 50% off at the Toronto Botanical Garden shop in summer 2015. It was a dwarf variety, perfect for my small garden, in an elegant mix of white, cream and soft yellow. What the heck, I gave them a try.
In spring, after all danger of frost, the larger ones were planted in the Microgarden. Others looked too small. But, what the heck, I planted them anyway, about 4-6″ (10-15 cm) apart in a medium-sized container, to fatten up. Guess what, almost every corm produced a flower. Thanks to the size differences, I’m getting a small bouquet every few days. There’s much to be said for what-the-heck.
Purchased bouquets of glads, like the tall ones in my mother’s print, look best in multiples. Two bunches is good. Three is even better. That moves flowers from stiff and formal to something voluptuous.
The ones in the print look like two big bunches at least. In fact, I think they might even have been a birthday gift to Mum from our dad’s sister, on our aunt’s first visit to Canada from the UK. His family never really forgave our mum for marrying our dad, so this meeting after nearly 30 years was momentous.
A symbolic gift perhaps, as the word Gladiolus comes from the Latin word for sword. I guess it was a laying down of arms, of sorts. And in our mother’s picture of it, the swordlike stems are loosely scattered, their tips as sharp as pen nibs, but lightly rendered almost to invisibility.
What a lovely tribute to your dear mom. It’s obvious where you gained your magnificent artistry, in words and gardens.
Aw, gee, Linda. Thanks for your kind words (but you haven’t seen my garden)!
Beautiful artwork. So glad you have some copies of both the glads and the artwork. Your mom was so young, sorry for your loss.
Thanks, Janet. Yes, 57 was too young to die – and sounds younger and younger as I grow older myself. Especially when the missing person has created things, whether a hooked rug (my aunt) or a recipe for mushroom pickles (my Mum’s own father) or a gladiolus print, a little of them lives on with the people who loved them.
Your mother’s glads are lovely, both in her artistic interpretations and your descriptions of her actual plants.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful remembrance.
What a beautiful tribute to your mom. And now it’s clear where all your creativity comes from.
Nice to see you here, Barb, and thanks for your comment!
Lovely print and lovely words.
Very kind, Jessica, thank you.
Your mother was very talented. I do love her print. I grow glads also, but leave them in over winter and they return and multiply each year. I don’t have the small variety like you though. That is a beaitiful first shot, they way you framed the portrait behind.
Thank you, Donna. One corm that I missed digging up did overwinter this year. But 2015/16 was a very mild winter in Toronto, and while the corm produced leaves, it didn’t make a flower. Or hasn’t yet… who knows. There are some hardier gladiolus corms, I’ve heard. I believe they’re closer to the true species.
Because my garden is part-shade, I hadn’t considered growing glads till I saw that ‘what the heck’ package on sale. Now, I think I’ll try re/planting them every year. I’ve really enjoyed having my micro cutting garden. | 2019-04-24T04:13:26 | https://www.torontogardens.com/2016/08/glads-and-graphology.html/ |

With the tide (thankfully) starting to turn against coal fired power generation, renewable energy is finding favor, as is electricity generated via the combustion of natural gas.
So, is natural gas green?
Natural gas consists mainly of methane and is often found associated with oil fields, coal seams and other fossil fuel deposits; but also may exist on its own in huge underground reservoirs.
Like oil, natural gas is often obtained through targeted drilling, however at times it’s a by-product of oil drilling. Not so long ago, gas associated with oil extraction was simply burned off (flaring), but now it’s increasingly captured for use.
In drilling operations where natural gas is targeted, hydraulic fracturing may also be employed once a well is sunk to the required depth to boost the flow of gas. The fracture is formed by pumping special fluid into the base of the well. This process is also known as “fracking”.
While natural gas will burn without refining; in order to make it suitable for residential, automotive and industrial use, it must be processed – and that in itself is an energy intensive task. However, the by-products of the process produces useful substances such as propane and butane.
Natural gas is often referred to as the “cleanest” of the fossil fuels, including so-called “clean coal“. According to NaturalGas.org, the burning of natural gas emits almost 30 percent less carbon dioxide than oil, and just under 45 percent less carbon dioxide than coal.
However, this isn’t the full story – burning gas may create lower emissions, but the entire production process can be emissions intensive. A major issue is fugitive emissions from gas that escapes during extraction. In a medium case scenario, life-cycle emissions per joule of energy derived from fracked gas could potentially be similar to those derived from coal.
While the combustion of natural gas also results in lower levels of nitrogen oxides (which contribute to acid rain), sulfur, carbon monoxide, and virtually no particulate matter; it’s this lack of particulate matter compared to coal combustion that may mean a shift to gas could accelerate a rise in global average temperatures. Confused? I don’t blame you. Read more about this aspect here.
CNG is becoming an increasingly popular alternate fuel for cars. NaturalGas.org says the EPA has found vehicles using compressed natural gas have reductions in carbon monoxide emissions of up to 97 percent, carbon dioxide emission reductions of 25 percent and nitrogen oxide emission reductions of up to 60 percent.
Natural gas certainly sounds like a panacea for all society’s energy woes in some ways – but it is a fossil fuel and unlike solar power and like oil, it is a limited resource. As such, a massive switch to natural gas would see many of the problems associated with oil production still occur.
The fugitive emissions risk aside, extraction of natural gas can be an environmentally damaging process. The process of “fracking” involves toxic waste and can contaminate the ground water with the fluids and the gas itself. In some parts of the world, the amount of natural gas that has leaked into aquifers through nearby fracking activities is enough to burn – I’ve seen photos of people lighting their faucets.
Fracking operations can also draw heavily on groundwater and are believed to be connected with some earthquake incidents.
The hydraulic fluids themselves can be somewhat of a black box, with some in the industry refusing to reveal the components of the fluids involved. The documentary “Gasland” claims some fluids contain known carcinogens and heavy metals.
Gas produced from fracking operations is “wet” and needs to be separated from the water and fracking fluid when it comes to the surface and this wastewater can also be highly toxic.
In some countries, land owners may own the surface area of their properties, but not the resources that lay beneath. Some are forced to allow gas drilling operations on their property and there’s little recourse if the company involved doesn’t restore the land to what it was before. The same problems can occur on government or public land; as with all forms of mining.
As mentioned, another environmental issue is the methane itself. While methane does burn quite cleanly, it is a very potent greenhouse gas – around 60 times the Greenhouse Warming Potential (GWP) of carbon dioxide. Methane leaks from extraction and during transportation just add to an already greenhouse gas overburdened atmosphere.
While natural gas may be “greener” than all other fossil fuels (and that is certainly debatable as more information becomes available), it’s certainly not green – it’s the lesser of the fossil fuel sourced energy evils.
Natural gas provides an interim source of energy while we wean ourselves off coal and oil and perhaps as a baseload source of energy when needed; but there’s a danger of natural gas being seen as a replacement for renewable energy for our future power needs.
Natural gas will not solve the climate change issue – it should be seen only as part of the solution and a stepping stone to even cleaner energy technology. | 2019-04-22T13:05:22 | https://www.greenlivingtips.com/articles/how-green-is-natural-gas.html |
If you are looking for a good dish, you should check this out. It is also pretty fast to cook, and you will need to spend around 40 minutes on everything. You will get 4 servings, and each contains 139 calories.

← May 11 – 39 days to go. What’s in your water bottle?
May 12 – 38 days to go. Can the plank help you crank?
I ride better when my core muscles are strong. I balance better and sit up straighter rather than slumping forward on the bars. My favorite core exercises include variations on the simple plank position. The plank is simply the “up” position in a push-up — arms and back are straight. Just holding the plank can be a challenge at first. Once you can hold it for a minute, then try some variations. A good start is the side plank — swing onto one arm and point the other arm to the sky. You can also do hip dips in this position which will work your obliques. Another variation involves lifting and moving your legs and/or arms. A simple variation is to lift one leg, swing it out beside your body and then return. Repeat on the other leg. You can also lift, say, your right leg and left arm simultaneously. Then repeat with the opposite arm and leg. Then add in some kettlebells. Hold the plank position with a medium weight kettlebell between your hands. Then pick up the kettlebell with one hand, move it to your side, then return it to the middle. Then repeat with the other arm. You can also work in the BOSU ball. Hold the plank position on the flat side of the ball. Then do some push ups. Then lift one leg and do some more. Once you master all these, you may even be able to do what this guy is doing. | 2019-04-20T07:08:38 | http://travisbikesamerica.com/?p=273 |
5 Essential quotes for language learners, with vocabulary and language notes.
Free downloadable images with the quotes.
The answer to last article’s Snow Patrol song gap fill activity.
A recommended watching and listening practice. Rita Pierson Tedtalk.
A quote is the exact words someone has said. For example, to quote Obama, “Yes, we can”. We can also say it is quotation from his speech.
These punctuation marks are called quotation marks ” ” , and show when we are using direct speech.
This quote by the author Mary Ann Evans, better known as George Eliot, tells us that we can start something new always and that it is never too late to change how we are or what we do. Her most famous novels are Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, and Middlemarch.
This quote from Bob Goff is great for stopping us comparing ourselves to other learners and their progress compared to our own, since that can be demotivating. He tells us to not compare ourselves to others and to focus happily one our own goals and objectives.
*to be captivated with purpose = to focus clearly and happily on our objectives/goals.
Helen Hayes let’s us know that it is ok to be a beginner and to not know anything at the start. Everyone is the same at the beginning of learning anything new.
This quote from Robert Collier says that progress comes from consistant effort. However small those efforts are they must be regular.
*is the sum of = is the result of.
* day in and day out = all the day.
This great quote from David A. Bednar tells us that any progress is brilliant! Which we must remember when we are studying English. Sometimes we feel we have improved rapidly and other times that we have only learnt 1 new word. Both are an improvement in your English and that is progress. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t aim to improve a lot!
We can start new things whenever we want, it is never too late.
Don’t compare yourself to other learners, focus on your own objectives.
It is ok to not know anything when you start. Everyone is the same at the beginning.
You have to be constant in your studies and do regular practice and study sessions to improve.
Any improvement and progress is better than none and shows you are trying.

Many seasoned investors are familiar with the concept of Bitcoin, and although opinion is widely divided among the investor community, it’s clear that 2017 has seen a boom in the cryptocurrency that has cocked the eyebrows of curious investors across the globe.
With the digital commodity never straying far from the financial headlines, it’s a good time to get conversant with the cryptocurrency as well as what it can do for you and the inherent risks that come with trading in such a volatile and relatively unproven commodity.
The basic premise of any form of investment, after all, is to buy for a little and sell for a lot, but will investment in Bitcoin be a cryptocurrency cash-in that secures you a prestigious Hollywood address at La Belle or a shortcut to a financial black hole that destabilizes your entire portfolio? There’s no such thing as a sure bet in the world of investment, the best any of us can do is educate ourselves and make informed decisions.
Just in case you spent the past decade on Mars, Bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency that unlike the dollar, pound or euro has no intrinsic value in and of itself, its value is determined by mathematical algorithms.
Unlike other currencies, it is decentralized, with no ties to the economic well being of any given country or state. This makes Bitcoin theoretically recession proof. As its value is currently at an all-time high, investors are using it for all kinds of transactions from charitable donations to setting up their 401k.
Can Bitcoin work for you?
Like any investment, Bitcoin is neither inherently good nor bad and while there are some investors who seem to be making it work for them, trading in Bitcoin is not without risk (more on that shortly).
Bitcoin is appealing to some investors not only because of its theoretical immunity to economic crashes but because of its ability to be traded anonymously and favourable tax status as it is (as far as tax is concerned) a property rather than a currency.
Some enterprising investors have set up Bitcoin ‘faucets’ that give small amounts of bitcoin to visitors while generating income from advertising revenue.
As with most volatile commodities, it’s best to take a slow and steady approach to bitcoin, incorporating it into a diverse portfolio rather than ‘betting the farm’ on the cryptocurrency.
Since Bitcoin (along with other cryptocurrencies like Ether or Ripple) is currently enjoying a soar in value some investors are certain that Bitcoin’s value has nowhere to go but up, while others insist that it is the very definition of a bubble just waiting to burst.
While time will tell us definitively who’s right, it’s important to note that Bitcoin has experienced crashes before. For investment to work, it’s important that Bitcoin should be treated as a stock investment (only even more volatile). Investors in Bitcoin could theoretically multiply their investment tenfold… but they could just as easily lose everything.
Therefore, treating investment in Bitcoin as highly speculative is the best way to insulate yourself from negative repercussions without precluding yourself from the possibility of a sizeable return on investment. | 2019-04-18T18:26:04 | https://www.banklesstimes.com/2017/11/07/the-bitcoin-boom-and-the-real-risks/ |
Tadpoles ("powts" in heraldic terms) are, apparently, a feature of Russell arms in Scotland. The crest, blazoned as "two hands cradling a foot proper", alludes to his profession. There can't be too many other coats of arms or crests which depict a foot massage.
"Stedfast" should be spelled "steadfast". Yes, I know it is given as an "alternative spelling" if one googles it, but that merely illustrates the fact that, sadly, too many people can't be fagged to spell correctly.
As for hands cradling feet, had Mr Russell no thought for his heirs and successors who will now be stuck with one of the world's sillier crests? I am sure he is proud of his trade or calling, but it is unlikely to become hereditary in the family.
The motto is that of the Boys Brigade, with which the armiger has apparently been associated for many years. According to Wikipedia's article on the BB, it originally adopted the archaic spelling, and while some parts of the movement have changed it to "steadfast", others have kept the original. The armiger evidently prefers the original too.
I thought I had seen the motto (at least the correctly spelled version) somewhere before. My mother and godmother were both Lifeboy (junior Boys' Brigade) leaders (when the world was young and lads could go to parades in uniform without being ridiculed or even beaten up by yobs).
I think the crest comes from thinking too literally. Heraldry is suppose to be symbolic. A carpenter would put a hammer( or other tool) but not actually the have it hitting the nail. In this case, a simple foot would have sufficed and looked better. Probably still a little unusual, but not as awkward. | 2019-04-19T10:22:00 | http://amateurheralds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1175 |

Recently, Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar joined Congress party surprising her fans. Matondkar will contest from North Mumbai. On Monday, the actress filed her poll papers and came riding a bike. After filing the nomination, Matondkar cheered at the crowd who was waiting to catch a glimpse of the actor turned politician. Matondkar, who is also active on social media mentioned how she has already started campaigning.
Ever since she stepped into politics, the actress has been trolled on social media. But she clearly stated that the trolls do not affect her. She was also slammed for using her photo with Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman to garner more votes for the elections.
Recently, Patidar leader Hardik Patel and Matondkar had jointly organized a meet with youngsters in Mumbai. MNS Chief Raj Thackery told her that she must not disappear after the upcoming elections, she must keep doing her bit for welfare of people.
"I am a huge Urmila Matondkar fan. Always was. BUT Would always prefer a party worker who has toiled for years to establish the party and carry forward @RahulGandhi ji's ideology getting ticket. It is unfair. Party should use celebs for election prachar. Not as candidate" , tweeted Sumit Kashyap. | 2019-04-20T16:53:26 | https://newzhook.com/story/21923 |

Though I have loads of liquid and cream foundations at the moment, nothing can beat my love for powder foundation! I've been a powder foundation user for years and I can't keep track how many compacts I've thrown away!
The last and most recent compact that I hit the pan was from Majolica Majorca called Skin Remaker Pore Cover Powder Foundation in BO10, I love it so much I kept the case as I'm definitely game to purchase another refill!
And just when I thought I need to pull out my Majolica Majorca refill, I put that step on hold as I recently got ZA Perfect Fit Two-Way Foundation also in BO10! Sorry MJ, I've heard so many great reviews about ZA I had to pull this out and use it ASAP!
I love the new chic metallic packaging as compared to the old solid color packaging (yes, I still remember seeing them many years ago in Hong Kong).
Refillable, you can save up money and Mother Earth!
Coverage is buildable -- from sheer to medium heavy.
Lightweight, never feels heavy on skin.
Soft, smooth texture, easy to apply.
Gives a natural finish without white cast.
Has a decent amount of oil control so this works for oily skinned individuals.
Doesn't dry out my already dry skin.
The powder doesn't enhance the look of pores and fine lines.
ZA Perfect Fit Two-Way Foundation alone may not be enough for people with skin concerns as this product gives sheer to medium heavy coverage. Extra concealing maybe needed prior to powder foundation application.
A soft, smooth powder foundation that gives light to medium heavy coverage. Lasts 3-6 hours depending on skin type, oily skin may need to retouch more often but the product gives a smooth finish, pores and fine lines look minimized.
For sheer coverage, apply with a sponge or your choice of Powder Brush.
For medium to heavier coverage, apply wet with a sponge.
If you like wet application, do that all the way as the powder texture will be different once it got wet.
For a very natural finish, apply concealer on areas that needed the coverage and gently buff ZA Perfect Fit Two-Way Foundation with your favorite Kabuki Brush.
BO10 works girls with yellow undertone.
The ZA Perfect Fit Two-Way Foundation may work for drier skinned individuals but I highly recommend this powder to people with normal, combination and oily skin!
ZA Cosmetics are now available at Landmark Makati, SM Aura Department Store, SM Aura Watsons and Landmark Trinoma. Case is sold Php325.00 (approx $8.12), refill costs Php395.00 (approx $9.87).
Remove tape and stick it directly on to the compact.
See the difference on my left and right face (facing you). Left side has ZA Perfect Fit Two-Way Powder Foundation applied dry using a sponge against bare skin on the other side.
I made sure to take a before photo of me after taking care of baby Kyle with random parts of my face oiling up! Check out the after photo, skin is more matte and my skin redness and under eye darkness has lessened!
Have you tried any ZA cosmetics?
What is your favorite ZA makeup?
I know what you mean! They are indeed good makeup brand that I'm glad na readily available!
I am planning to buy a new powder foundation and your review is a big help. Thanks for sharing!
We have the same shade in Pore Cover! This refill is less expensive but is it as long lasting?
Yes, the case and refill are sold separately.
can I ask u think this works better than maybelline clear smooth bb silk powder not? | 2019-04-22T06:33:43 | http://www.askmewhats.com/2013/06/amw-reviews-za-perfect-fit-two-way.html |
Nurtured by many Russian novels while growing up, I developed a special feeling towards the omnipresent birches, which not only aptly set the scenes and evoke the particular melancholy especially associated with Russia and Russian people, and finally, I made effort in 2006 to try to capture such feelings with a painting titled Birches, which is currently showing at the McGuire Real Estate gallery in Berkeley as part of the “Crowded by Beauty” exhibit.
I love the slender shapes of the trees, the softness of the finely-layered birch barks and their eerie silver color, and above all, the eye-shaped knobs imprinted on the trunks from bottom to top, as if birches were meant to be the chosen observers from silent world, so as to judge humankind.
That painting is also a play of optical illusion – amongst the eyes on the trunks, there was a singular eye floating in the space, unattached, between two indifferent birches. Inundated by so many eyes, this oddity was not immediately obvious; once detected, one might ask, if this is a most determined birch eye, the eye of an invisible human, or just a wandering independent eye belong to nothing and no one. | 2019-04-24T11:07:25 | http://www.matthewfelixsun.com/tag/landscapes-and-animals/ |
The Spin Doctor: PSA: Faulty batch of Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint in "Magenta"
PSA: Faulty batch of Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint in "Magenta"
I just wanted to put up a quick post to let everyone know in case they've had a bottle from this batch - please contact Ranger's Customer Services people. They're really helpful and swift in what they do and it was honestly really easy to deal with them, unlike many companies nowadays! They offered to ship me a replacement immediately but I didn't want one as to be honest, this paint is still useable and I've had no issues using it for monoprints or for painting with, but I wasn't planning to do any impasto work with it right now. By the time they'd get a new bottle to me from the USA, the carbon footprint and cost to them would not be justifiable given I'm happy to use it as it is - but that may not be the case for everyone so if you have one of these bottles and are struggling to use it, speak to them about it. Even if you're happy to use it like I am, contact them anyways as it'll help Ranger to trace how widespread this is. When there are issues like this, I do feel strongly that it's up to the community to help our valued suppliers by reporting how widespread the batch has gotten etc. Please also post a comment on this blog post as it may help others to know where you got it from - and obviously contact your vendor so they know to speak to Ranger themselves and maybe take it off of the shelves.
Per my recent haul, I got many 2 fl. oz. bottles of Dina Wakley's wonderful acrylic paints - all of which have a lovely thick body and dry in the conditions of my studio in under 5 minutes. The Magenta though was like milk or a thin cream - could not hold its shape and took over 30 minutes to dry. Not right! Weirdly, the bottom of the bottle didn't have a Lot Number or Date of Manufacture per usual, but Ranger's people DID manage to trace the issue to a batch that somehow got released when it shouldn't have and that was missing an ingredient - I was the first to report it so we don't know how widespread the issue is. I know the batch mine was from came into the UK between 25th Sept and 10th Oct based on it having been out-of-stock at my vendor of choice on 25th but in stock on 10th when I ordered. It only seems to be impacting the Magenta paint as far as we can tell.
And this shows the consistency when it came from the bottle - note it POURED out on its own - it didn't need squeezing. It did not hold this shape for long and formed a uniform puddle that then took hours to dry, whereas the other thick wiggle swatches I did at the same time took 15 minutes (as they were a thick layer, 5 minutes normally). | 2019-04-21T01:18:33 | http://www.the-spin-doctor.co.uk/2017/10/psa-faulty-batch-of-dina-wakley-media.html |

Michael Rolle, a veteran of Oracle Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc. who trained at MIT and Stanford, started a new job this week: umpiring junior varsity high school softball for $20 a game.
It's not the direction he thought his career would take when his last serious contract ran out two years ago. Since then, Rolle's only stint as a software engineer has been at a start-up that laid him off after one month.
"I see everybody spending all their days going to networking meetings, calling their friends, doing all the various things people tell you to do, and after months of that, they're still looking," said Rolle, 57, of Cupertino. "Why work so hard?"
With about $40,000 in credit card debt, Rolle would need to officiate five games a day to stay even. Since that's not likely to happen, he figures he'll have to file for bankruptcy protection in about four months. But he might as well do something he enjoys. Umpiring is "good exercise, it's fun," he said, "and you get to be with kids."
As the Silicon Valley cave-in enters its third year, thousands of Michael Rolles are emerging, hunkering down and pinching pennies instead of responding to every Internet job posting. Thousands more keep slogging away, attending workshops on resume writing and interviewing skills.
Plenty of others have changed careers -- or left the Valley altogether. Santa Clara County lost 14,564 people in 2001, the most recent year tallied by the California Department of Finance. That's the biggest net exodus since at least 1970.
So, not many high-tech casualties were shocked last week when the state released new figures showing that officials had dramatically underestimated Silicon Valley's job losses since 2000. "The pain people were feeling was based on reality, as opposed to the junk the state was feeding us," said Richard Carlson, chairman of Mountain View forecasting firm Spectrum Economics Inc.
The low-ball statistics, based on sampling, had gauged Santa Clara County's losses at about 115,000 jobs. The more accurate figures peg the damage at 175,000, or about 16% of all jobs in the county outside farming. For San Francisco and Silicon Valley as a whole, the losses added up to 275,400, or 13% of the nonfarm total.
That means the Valley's comedown is worse than Los Angeles' after the aerospace industry decline that began in 1990. In L.A.'s two most desperate years, 400,000 jobs disappeared, but they amounted to only 10% of the nonfarm whole.
In fact, Silicon Valley's fall is unmatched in state history since the Great Depression, when some regions lost 25% of their jobs, according to Stephen Levy, director of the Palo Alto-based Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy. What's more, the new statistics show that the number of people working in Silicon Valley has fallen back to the level in 1996, when the dot-com boom was barely underway.
The scale of the disaster foretells a longer road to recovery. "We thought we had 100,000 jobs to make up," Carlson said. "In an expansion, you can do that naturally in four or five years. Now you're talking about 10. It takes your breath away."
More than ever, the area between San Jose and San Francisco needs affordable housing and better schools, said Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group. Because the cost of living is still so high, those out of work can't keep looking here for months on end.
"There is only so long that whatever you have saved can last in such a high-cost region," Guardino said. "People leave to find greener pastures elsewhere, and if they find them they may stay there."
If they do, bringing the Valley's economy back could be that much harder. "Losing skilled people is never a plus," Levy said. "That is the threat here, the dissipation of talent that could be a long-term blow to the region."
Of the talent staying, a growing number is reexamining the career plans drawn during the boom.
"People are doing assessments as to what's important to them," said Mike Curran, director of the North Valley Job Training Consortium in Sunnyvale. "As people get older, there's a tendency to say: 'This is probably the last part of my career. I'm going to do something I value.' "
Some are trying to switch careers for more practical reasons, with mixed success.
David Tichane, an unemployed technology patent lawyer formerly with big server maker Tandem Computers Inc., considered getting retrained to work as a project manager. But in his networking groups, "I found all these project managers who were out of work," Tichane said. "Some other fields are worse."
Tichane, 49, is in what is probably still the largest group of Valley unemployed -- those still grimly hunting away. He has been on the prowl for six months. Where he used to find two or three job postings a week for patent attorneys, he said he now turns up only one or two a month.
"Boy, does it get depressing," he said. "The hardest thing is just to keep on going."
But sometimes, the search for work can itself be rewarding.
David Jebens, a telecommunications engineer from Campbell, said his greatest emotional and practical support comes from a small group that meets in restaurants. The members set goals for themselves, such as making a set number of job calls in the following week, and then hold each other accountable.
"It's a close-knit group," said Jebens, 44. "I suspect we'll be lifelong friends." | 2019-04-26T14:15:25 | https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-mar-07-fi-silvalley7-story.html |

The Dolder Grand Spa has to be the best spa experience I’ve ever had. And that is saying something, because I’ve been to some amazing spas. But this one is special. I also had one of my very best spa treatments here. The Dolder Grand Spa is ultra modern and so aesthetically, nutritionally and therapeutically pleasing, I felt nourished on every level.
The sleek black tiled infinity pool is long enough to swim laps. It has a giant window with alpine views and lounge chairs for relaxing indoors or outside on the patio. In one corner of the pool are individual hydrotherapy spaces where you can stand to get a water propelled massage. The temperature is perfect and this is a pool you want to languish in. I swam my laps, then floated around in aquatic bliss.
A winding meditation walk spirals to a mirrored mosaic meditation room that looks like something Antoni Gaudí or Friedensreich Hundertwasser would have created. This room transports you to the inside of a genie bottle. Or to a space of literal self reflection. It’s a circular room covered completely with that mosaic, including the ceiling. It’s gorgeous with texture and light and sparkling inspiration. The spa itself is a work of art, and so are the treatments.
I had one of the best spa treatments of my life at the Dolder Grand Spa. It’s called the Hydraheaven, and I’ve never experienced anything like it. Part of this was because my therapist was phenomenal, and the other part was the uniqueness of the treatment. The special table is reminiscent of a waterbed and the therapist can control how much water is in the table, changing it throughout the treatment and creating a feeling of weightlessness.
The Hydraheaven treatment begins with a foot soaking and vigorous dry brushing, followed by a soothing massage. I’d been traveling for a couple of days and the dry brushing felt like a renewal, it was invigorating. Then the massage. I was so relaxed I began to fall asleep a few times. I’ve never fallen asleep during a treatment before in my life, and kept forcing myself to remain awake so that I wouldn’t miss a second. The soothing atmosphere with a fireplace and meditative accouterments were lulling me into the deepest relaxation I’ve ever felt at a spa. There are numerous ways to prolong that placid state post-treatment.
Hanging chairs in the Chill Out Room are just plain fun. Who doesn’t love a hanging chair? I want one of these in my house. You can float around mid air listening to music or reading a magazine. There are so many different ways to relax at the Dolder Spa they have turned it into an art form.
If you aren’t chilling out in the Chill Out Room, you can chill out in the Snow Paradise Room. Literally. If you are tough enough, you can pop in here to alternate body temperature from hot to cold. People like to go back and forth from the sauna to the snow room. This is supposed to be good for you and if you are going to do it, you may as well experience cold in a magical little cave with icicles and glowing blue light. I went in for about sixty seconds because it was just too fascinating not to.
After the Snow Paradise Room, you can warm up in these relaxation pods which are filled with smooth warm black pebbles that form to your body. This spa offers one sensation after another and for me, this focus on my body kind of turned off my mind. There’s a lot of chatter up there, my mind is always working, always processing. This spa shuts that down and forces you to focus on your physical well being. The mind is just there to take in the beauty of the place and what a relief. The whole experience at the spa is a long meditation of sorts.
A quaint and colorful cafe and juice bar in the spa serves up healthy food like salads and green juice served in a room with colorful blooming flowers all over the walls. Those blossoming flowers for me represented the blossoming that was happening to me while I was there. The color is uplifting and energizing. The food was also nourishing and delicious. I had a salad, veggie sandwich and wonderful fresh pressed green juice. I couldn’t finish all my food, but was completely satiated until my late dinner that night.
Can you tell I was smitten? You can read about my overall amazing experience at the Dolder Grand here, which was like stepping into a world of magical sensory experience. I’ve been very fortunate to visit some of the world’s best spas, but this one was unique. The Dolder Spa has elevated the spa concept to high art. It was like a mini retreat, and absolutely restorative. I really don’t remember the last time I was that relaxed, probably not since I was a kid. For real.

Below you can find answers to some of the questions we are most frequently asked by Direct Sellers, or people considering becoming one.
Direct Selling is a method of marketing and retailing goods or services directly to Consumers, through personal contact away from permanent retail premises.
We've prepared a dedicated page to tell you more about Direct Selling. Click here to read it!
Direct Selling allows anyone to set up and run their own business and is open to everyone over the age of 18 regardless of gender, background, education or race.
The great attraction of Direct Selling is that it offers a flexible earning opportunity where you are in control of the income you can generate. Many work their Direct Selling businesses part-time along their regular job to earn extra income. Some eventually choose to put in full-time hours and generate a substantial income.
What Should I Consider When Choosing a Direct Selling Opportunity?
You should select a business that markets products which appeal to you and which seem fairly priced. If you are enthusiastic about the product yourself, sales will be much easier to achieve.
The appeal of a company's product is much more important than the rates of commission and bonuses that are on offer. Reasonable commissions on easily achieved sales are much better than high commission on sales that are difficult to achieve.
It is advisable to ensure that the business you are considering is a DSA Member. This gives an assurance that the business opportunity is legal and the company has agreed to abide by the DSA Codes.
Can I Run My Direct Selling Business From Home?
Yes - you can run a substantial Direct Selling business from your home using channels of internet and telephone as a means of communication, although personal contact does significantly help to grow your business. Direct Selling allows people to work for themselves and to run their own business in a way that fits with their lifestyle.
What is a Reasonable Investment to Make When Starting a Direct Selling Business?
Depending on the company, an individual may have to invest in a starter kit or a product demonstration kit. The Price for kits varies from company to company but range from £0-£200, with most hardly exceeding £100.
The law governing Multi-Level Marketing does not allow an investment of more than £200 in the first seven days. The great advantage of any business opportunity in Direct Sales is that it is not necessary to buy goods before you have made any sales to consumers.
Note: Never be tempted to buy more stock than you are certain to sell, nor be tempted to 'buy' your way into a higher position in the company's sales organisation. | 2019-04-23T12:09:15 | https://dsa.org.uk/seller-faqs/ |
It is simple. I am a fan of apps that do one thing very well. Mailshake fits the bill because it does cold email outreach really really well. It is very easy to use, very intuitive. No unnecessary bells and whistles.
And even with this simplicity, their feature to personalize emails for every user is phenomenal. Gives you complete control and makes cold email tasks less time-consuming.
- a central list for all the contacts that have been added as part of the campaign.
We started using Mailshake for Cold emails. And now we also use it to send nurture emails to our prospects. We love the ability to personalize email messages. You define a template email cadence and then go through each recipient and personalize their message. It is simple and effective.
"Send cold emails with ease"
Mailshake is amazing for our business. We already had a list of a few hundred potentially interested clients that we collected from our landing page. We could have imported them into MailChimp or MailerLite, but that would be overkill. Plus we only needed a plain text email and preferred doing a drip campaign. It was so easy to put everything into an excel spreadsheet, upload it to Mailshake, and get emails sent instantly. Plus it works straight out of Gmail!
Mailshake could add another email provider on top of Gmail. Gmail limits you to about 500 emails a day, so if you need to send more than that, you're out of luck.
We have been able to reach and follow up with hundreds of interested individuals and have gained leads that we were able to convert into deals. Email is ancient, but at the same time the future!
Hey Monqiue, thanks for your feedback. Most of our customers utilize Gsuite, because as you said Gmail limits you to 500 a day. Gsuite limits you to 2000 per email account, but we've found that number to be ~1100 a day. If you have multiple Gsuite accounts connected to Mailshake you can send thousands of emails per day. Congratulations on your lead conversions from email! Keep it up.
"A Company Who Cares about your success almost as much as you!"
I was sceptical at first. Thinking no this is just another platform for me to spam connection. But after using it once I was blown away by the results. I had an average campaign, that yielded some good results. But what was more amazing, the fact that one of the team members spent the time to create a video reviewing my campaign and gave me some great help!
At first, it took me a little bit to understand, as any platform does. Their customer onboarding took care of that really quickly.
Leads, we need more leads. (As does everyone).
Even if our campaign failed (Which is didn't) I would still recommend this service. Because one of the team will jump on and help you become successful. For the price, we pay we don't deserve any attention. But the team doesn't care if you pay 1,000 a month of barely anything they are always there to help out!
"Wouldn’t use any other option"
The ease of use and design.
Their support, I asked them a couple of questions and they got back to me quickly.
Before using mailshake I was using separate tools for my email marketing and it was all fine at the beginning, but when campaigns and lists start to pile up, it was really hard to keep track of what’s going on. With mailshake I know exactly where in the process each email I send is at any moment, and it gives me real time feedback on my campaign and suggestions when I’m composing my emails !
Simplicity and Zapier integrations, they are absolute game changers. Mailshake is efficient way to reach out to your potential backlink vendors.
I love the design, simplicity and intuitiveness. Their educational courses are on-point, and I strongly suggest you take advantage of them early.
Pricing is a bit steep, especially for startup businesses. The value is there, but in the first few months of learning how to utilize it, there is awful much money wasted. Especially complex for busy entrepreneurs that are tackling multiple projects at the same time.
There is a learning curve to making this work, that goes beyond just software features.
Cold emailing for the sake of backlinking. It really streamlines that backlink acquisition for the SEOs. If you are an SEO that does outreach, you will definitively get the benefit of using Mailshake.
Zapier integration will also prove to be quite effective, and can allow you to merge your sign up forms and your email marketing campaigns.
Sequences can help you stay on top of your link providers on auto-pilot.
Ease of use, multi-user access, great reporting and interface. It is very easy to use and train staff in the software. The whole design is simple, extremely friendly with all the tools I need.
Most important is the deliverability and open rates on email. A lot of this is down to the quality of the list, but I have no issues as it connects directly to my legit google business account to send.
About the platform, really hard pressed to find anything, I think the limitations and price are very fair. Being very nitpicky, I would like to see some pre-formatted campaign reporting or summary notifications in the future, and further integration with other platforms.
I would recommend this software any day of the week, though it is smaller than alternatives, is simply worth it for the best ease of use and interface alone. It makes it so easy to train new staff, enabling you to automate and scale your projects!
Being able to schedule and automate sequences in other time zones is huge. Absolute godsend software. It completely takes the pain away from my team having to worry about the delivery method. We can very quickly build an outreach project or re-engagement with this tool.
"I'm in love with Mailshake"
Mailshake is amazing. We are using it for outbound email and getting outstanding open rates and reply rates. We also use it for emails to users during the trial period of the product - I love how it automatically pauses people when they have replied to a message. The link tracking that points to a subdomain is an amazing feature too.
I wish that it would pause not just drips but also new emails when someone replied. I also wish it was easier to pause all the contacts at one company and generally manage outbound to different contacts at one company.
It's by far the best cold outreach software there is. Hands down.
Mailshake is our go-to tool for outbound cold email as well as converting trial customers down the funnel.
"A simple but effective tool"
Perfectly set up tool that never whacks you. I used to work with the other cold outreach tools, and they all had one feature: lots of functions, and not a single works properly.
Mailshake does not have an automated email scraper, but it does a great job in setting up the campaigns.
Inability to edit the templates outside of the campaign, and integration with Zapier sometimes makes me sad. I'd better make the direct integration with the Google Sheets via API.
Research the ways to create the email lists and check their Cold Outreach Academy, that will give you very valuable insights and highlight the possible mistakes.
"Simple, easy, and has room for improvements"
What I like best about Mailshake is its simplicity and ease of use.
What I dislike is oddly partly what I like best about it. The simplicity is just too simple for my needs, sometimes but thankfully, I've noticed some upgrades/improvements on the platform. I just hope we can save our own templates instead of duplicating campaigns. There is also an issue I keep experiencing with message format where I duplicate a campaign and always need to correct the format of the messages. Also the need to check on what email account the campaign is to be sent from AFTER setting it up can be easily missed. It all gets time consuming.
If you have a huge list of emails/recipients and using Gmail, Mailshake is limited.
Sending campaigns, reaching out to hundreds of potential leads and current clients is made easy.
"best for cold outreach "
Mailshake uses our google accounts for sending the emails which is the best feature of the tool. Its advanced autoresponder gives the ease to schedule 3-4 or 5 follow ups in a single campaign. Recently they had added new email templates and more advanced features to launch a successful campaign. with its analytics, you can put your eye on every small fluctuation in your campaigns.
As there is nothing much to dislike, but sometimes your campaign automatically paused. most of the time its very time consuming to validate the whole configurations to restart the campaigns. apart from this issue rest is fantastic.
the biggest problem with cold outreach is getting the response on your email but with follow-up schedule of Mailshake make the cold outreach easy.
"Simple and usable with few trade-offs for functionality"
Ease of setting up messages and editable messages in very personalised campaigns.
The look'n'feel of the interface is very clean, actions are obvious and easy to follow.
List cleaning service built-in makes this easy.
So far, there is no 'recurring' trigger (time based) for repeated emails. I am looking to set this up via Zapier or IFTTT. It's not unusual, most competitors don't have it either.
Try it, get the pro version and use it with a team.
Servicing clients on follow-through programs: Benefits: Saving time and reliability and repeatability of campaigns.
"Top tool for direct outreach in bulk"
Very minor - would like to see the amount of recipients in each list when uploading multiple. It also would be great if formatting started with the right font size vs having to apply, or maybe a clean-text hrml editor to paste direct code with clear formatting.
Mailshake is the best tool I have used to drive interactions with prospects in the B2B space through SDR or market development services.
"A core essential in our sales and marketing plans"
It's super easy to use. Drag and drop contact list, automatically notify me of recipients who are affected by a separate campaign (And remove them quickly with a click), easy to build templates.
Can't think of anything for now based on the specific purpose of usage we look to achieve.
Review other platforms and make a decision based on your need. However, the potential ROI greatly outweighs the cost. So its a need rather than a want.
"Straightforward platform & great support"
Great support - free review of the campaign.
Great blog, although that could be a bit better, although giving free advice is not their business.
Pricing is very competitive as well.
Tracking link clicks - they provide this feature but then they say this could get negative marking from google but then how do other companies do it. Maybe everyone faces this issue but only these guys are upfront about it.
Give it a shot if you want a straightforward cold emailing platform that works.
"A great tool for your outbound marketing needs!"
I love the fact that I can easily use the old fashion csv file, mail merge it with their easy to use interface then incorporate the data into our CRM.
I don't know how to easily connect with my CRM but will figure it out, at some point.
Try it out on the free version - it's great!
We use it for current customers as it is EASY to customize our messages to customers with this - all text is all we need.
"Mailshake fills a valuable need"
"Great software that cuts out alot of the lugwork"
The main annoyance is that we can only see when someone has viewed an email only once..
it saves so much time from doing it manually,, that was its major benefit for me.
"Automation tool that doesn't automate process"
I use Mailshake for emailing and my experience with it is terrible. First, it is breaking all campaigns (even scheduled), second out of office reply is counted as potential lead so it doesn't send follow-ups to those people. Third thing is that email [email protected] doesn't work, just form that I dug somewhere but that is not the end. On my question why it breaks initial campaign and information that their email is not working I got an answer 'can you tell me when you wrote us since we want to ensure that we answer....' typical support answer but without reply on my problem. I wrote a couple of time since then and I am waiting for 20 days, no answer. So, an automatic tool that doesn't automate a process and without support. I would never go into such an adventure again. Paying for nothing, it doesn\t worth even a penny.
If you want automation tool that is so buggy that processes are not automated and support that is not answering to you (even though you are paying for it) then Mailshake is the great choice for you.
"Easy to use, great simple way to send out email chains"
I love how easy it is to set up rules for different email chains, and track the open and bounce rates.
Nothing - it's been great so far. We love mailshake.
Definitely try out this product if you want to send out sales emails.
Mailshake has given us a way to send out many emails and make them look personalized and professional. It saves our reps a ton of time.
"Just works... and great support"
I like the customize-able fields so that I can speak directly to a bunch of clients or get cozy with new ones.
I use MailShake in conjunction to another Mail service. Because it personalises things so well I make sure I protect my lists on Mailshake and if I send out something that is likely to get me blocked, I use the other service.
What I like the best is the easy use of the software. It makes writing emails more fun & I really enjoy using Mailshake everyday. The customer service is also very good. They are so responsive when getting back to you. The support is there 100%.
What I dislike is honestly nothing at all.
Being able to write, track & improve my emailing.
Easy upload of lists and easy editing of emails.
Inability to edit lists once uploaded but the workaround is to edit the source list and upload it again.
It is the only product I know of that allows you to edit emails in the queue to go before they are sent, and I mean individual emails, not email templates.
Autoresponders are great tools for any business as they can save a huge amount of time and effort.
"Simple & Smart Email Outreach Software"
User interface is simple & intuitive. Takes only minutes to set up a campaign and very easy to track results.
Really don't have any comments here. It's been the top option for email outreach that our team has tried.
Test it out for your next campaign and you'll be hooked.
"Ease of use, great outreach tool"
Easy to use, and produces results. Works with G Suite out of the box, so powerful email.
Not anything. I like that you guys keep improving it.
Outreach and cold emailing has always been a pain, but no longer.
"Still learning the tool, but mail campaigns coming together"
"Easy to send emails - just what we need. "
I love how simple everything is. Mailshake is to the point, clean and efficient. It saves me time and helps me organize my many many emails.
Emailing a ton of people, tracking them, and organizing my lists.
not much really. Maybe find more targeted cold leads. Not able to connect other email providers.
My title says it all. If your a marketing company looking for fresh leads, then MailShake will make it easier for you.
"Best all around cold email tool"
"Great solution for cold emails"
Very easy to use. Good content regarding best practices.
Analytics could be better, some limitations in the email cadences you can create.
My ability to analyze large email drip campaigns and find information such as click rates, opens, and any generated leads all from mailshake.
Mailshakes funtionality when it comes to formatting on the templates.
Reaching a large audience quickly, saving emails from getting bounced/marked as spam, and connecting with leads.
"Best platform for sales outreach"
Can't think of anything to be honest! Mailshake offers great value.
"Great product -- especially for blogger outreach"
The platform is extremely intuitive and easy to "figure out"
Haven't found anything I dislike yet. I have found the system extremely easy to use and very effective.
How helpful everyone is when I have a question. This tool is hands down the best investment I’ve ever made.
"Great simple tool for outreach"
Jump right in! Super easy to setup and create mail campaigns.
Handling email outreach to cold leads.
"Great price, simple and effective software"
I love how simple it is to use. It's great for testing messaging and running different outbound drip campaigns to lists.
Can't think of anything I dislike. Their updates are always awesome.
"Easy to use and effective if utilized properly"
How easy it is to upload emails and send them with a personal touch.
Being able to send lots of messages at once.
"Really good product and amazing customer service"
Not much to be honest, it really is great. I think they should be able to make multiple timezones for different campaigns though.

Oluce Atollo Table Lamp by Vico Magistretti, a beautiful Italian glass table lamp. Vico Magistretti began designing at the end of the 40s, but spent most of the 50s involved in architecture. He then returned to design (by far the majority being furniture) at the end of the 50s and has continued since then. He was educated in a time of architectural rationalism and so was taught to think logically, a lot of importance being placed on using architecture to solve social problems. In particular; the use of pre-fabrication was advocated. He was always more involved in industrial design for mass production than in one off pieces, but unlike some similar products, he designed his furniture to last. This all leads to his designs tending to be simple but effective solutions to a problem. However, he kept them quite informal by adding a bit of fun; perhaps this was a natural reaction against the austerity of wartime conditions. Although this is all true, he managed to make his designs innovative and stylish with elegant lines and quality finishes. Magistretti remained consistent in his approach to his work, but continued to react to current trends and issues and was always willing to test new materials and come up with new solutions. His designs have contributed significantly to the success of Italian design. | 2019-04-19T02:36:37 | http://www.moderndesigninterior.com/2014/09/atollo-glass-design-table-lamp-oluce.html |
Charge for each additional item...????
I just won a few bids from a seller. The seller charges me R60 postal fees and R10 for each additional item.
The new seller send me the amount that i owe him, and it looks like he charged me R60+ R10 for each and every item.
Say all the bids together is R76. What would the total be?
I read the description etc, saw that the seller charges R10 for every additional item... can someone explain if it is per item or every second item?
I would read that as the postage amount (R60) plus R10 for the 2nd item plus R10 for the 3rd item etc.
For example - 5 items would be R60 plus R40 = R100.
Thanx guys. That's how i understood it too... Now i have to pay R170 postage for R76 items!!!
Hi Jaydon, sorry to hear that.
Do the items require very careful individual packaging? For instance very fine china may require plenty of polystyrene, bubble wrap and time to ensure that the individual items don't get broken.
If not, then you may have a seller who makes a bit of a profit on P&P.
This is actually illegal (I think there is a law preventing people making a profit out of postage) and it is definitely not in the spirit of things on BoB!
I believe it's one of those vague "each case on merit" rules. But it really is against the spirit of BoB so hope the administrators are not soft on this law.
When I said a law against it, I should have elaborated and said "read the South African Post Office Act" which governs postage costs, etc.
Yes, Kit, I agree with you whole-heartedly. As a buyer, I refuse to even consider placing a bid on a Seller's item when it is clear they are trying to recover costs of low bidding by making up on postage. It's just not fair on buyers at all.
Thanks for the hearty welcome back. Am glad to see you're on the Forum again. Have missed you!
Actually, it's 12 pairs of earrings. Which i don't think requires a lot of wrapping since she will put them all in a flat envelope????
Even so, if she were to bubble wrap each and every item... charge R10 extra per pair????!!!
My opinion.... Report it to community watch. This is blatant disregard for BOB rules and action should be taken against the seller.
I agree with Asha Craft. This Seller (whoever he/she is) is definitely trying to rip you off.
I think a lot of BoB sellers would go out of business if they did not charge extra for accumulative shipping. Especially for the "starting at R1 auctions"!
Then why sell your products on R1 no reserve auctions? Just list the product at the price you are willing to accept, and stop ripping off clients. If you really want to, then charge R1 per extra item to cover additional bubblewrap, larger envelope, etc. But R10, R20 or R30 PER item extra is ridiculous!
Think about it... when you buy something for R1 and pay R30 per item extra for postage then it might still be a bargain for you as the buyer, depending on the item... BUT if you as a seller allow combining at no extra charge, then you will be selling more items with higher bids to more clients! Surely it's not that difficult to understand?
This is my general opinion and not directed at anyone specific.
As a seller myself, I cannot understand why some sellers charge for combining into parcels. For me it is a pleasure to combine for my buyers - no bother at all!
The only time I would request additional postage is when the parcel falls into the higher price category (example parcel in excess of 1kg, or large parcel for which the SAPO charges you the higher rate based on volume).
But ultimately, if the seller is simply trying to get more money for the item due to a low selling price through additional shipping fees, this should simply NOT be allowed! It is unethical and poor business practice!
We do take action on seller's who charge excessive shipping, unless the seller can justify within reason, the amounts charged. However, bear in mind, if this is stated on the listing upfront, no one forces you to purchase from the seller and you agree to these charges when you bid and buy the item.
I agree that we 'know what we are getting into' when placing our bids, which is why I don't bid on those sellers' items. I'd rather pay more for an item and pay a reasonable shipping fee, instead of winning the item at R1 and paying R100 for shipping. I think it's the principle of the whole story.
It's a dead subject anyway and has been mauled over many many times on the Forum. Some like it, some don't.
Talked to the seller today and apparently it is how she makes money (overcharging on postal fees), she says BOB does not have a problem with that and that all het buyers did not have a problem with that.
If i were to sell them, then i must admit, even with the extra R10 they are still a bargain.
BOB might not have, but bidorbuy sure does.
1.10. Including unreasonably high shipping costs in item listings.
100% agree with you Asha Craft.
I would only use the R1 auction as an advertising promotion Doesn't matter what you put up there, if only one person is looking the day the item is auctioned it is going to sell for R1. DON'T do the R1 auction if you can't afford to lose the item at that price and write the value off towards advertising.
I know someone was selling fine china and clearly stipulated on the listing that items could not be combined due to the risk of breakage. This made perfect sense to me.
However, sending non delicate items (Tshirts as an example) and charging extra per item is a blatant rip off.
Still at the end of the day if they advertise as they charge it is up to the individual to READ the listing and decide whether to move on to another seller or not. | 2019-04-24T03:16:42 | https://forums.bidorbuy.co.za/topic/1015-charge-for-each-additional-item/ |
