Delegate Roger Hanshaw calls a floor session of the House of Delegates to order. Photo by Perry Bennett, Legislative Photographer.
If you’ve never sat in the gallery during a floor session of the Senate or House of Delegates before, the proceedings can be a bit overwhelming. However, like most of the processes that take place at the Capital, once you know the rules, it’s much easier to follow.
Introduction of Guests– Senators and Delegates introduce constituents, family members, or friends who are in attendance.
Reading of the Journal– The Clerk of the House or Senate begins reading the journal – a detailed record of the previous day’s floor session. Unless there are corrections to be made, this is interrupted by a motion to approve the journal without reading it, which generally passes unanimously.
Reports from Standing and Select Committees*– Committee Chairs report any bills that have passed out of their committee. They will say whether the bill received any amendments or was rewritten and will recommend that the bill pass (bills that aren’t recommended to pass don’t make it out of committee).
Resolutions – Actions which do not require the Governor’s approval are brought up at this time. Generally, this is when the Senate or House agrees to make it something like “Children’s Day at the legislature” or formally recognize an individual or group for service to the state.
Motions and Petitions – Motions are actions proposed by members of the Legislature and petitions are proposals which are made by a large number of citizens at once.
Bills Introduced – New bills are introduced at this time. As the list is being read, a Senator or Delegate will interrupt to move that the bills be considered introduced without each of them being read on the floor. Instead, bills are referred directly to the relevant committee.
Bills on Third Reading – Bills on third reading are ready for a vote. Senators or Delegates will take time to discuss each bill before calling for a vote and determining whether it will got to the Governor to be signed into law or vetoed.
Bills on Second Reading – This is a second opportunity for bills to be explained and discussed before the final vote is taken.
Bills on First Reading – Bills that have passed out of committee are presented to the Chamber. The Committee Chair generally explains the bill and members discuss its flaws or merits.
Messages from the other Chamber* – The Clerk will read any messages from the other Chamber of the Legislature. For example, the Senate President may send a message to the Speaker of the House listing bills that have been passed out of the Senate and are ready to begin being considered by the House.
Messages from the Executive* – The Clerk will read any messages from the Governor.
Miscellaneous Business – This is a catch all for anything else that needs to be addressed.
Movement to Adjourn and Announcements – Committee Chairs announce the time and location of upcoming committee meetings. While staff work hard to keep the website as up to date as possible, times and locations for committee meetings can change quickly and often the best way to stay informed is to hear it directly from the Chair.
* The Senate reviews messages from the House and from the Executive prior to receiving reports from standing committees.
Floor Sessions might be governed by very rigid rules, but they can still provide valuable insight into what your legislators are focused on, whether it’s the guests that they introduce or the discussion they offer on bill readings. For more information about this and other processes at the Legislature, take a look at this Citizens Guide.
One last note: You don’t need to be at the Capital to see what’s happening on the floor of either the Senate or the House. Both stream live video and audio daily, so you can watch from wherever you happen to be. | 2019-04-23T00:47:27 | http://wvhub.org/after-the-gavel-drops-understanding-floor-sessions/ |
My wife and I have been married for a year and a half now and we decided that giving glory to God in everything we do should be the purpose of our marriage. I am sad to say that we lost sight of that purpose some time during the last year. Both my wife and I are believers alright, but when we saw what life had to offer us, we preferred to put Jesus on the back seat. We totally forgot that we were not going to get very far without Him. Our prayer life started to get weak, our attendance at church was irregular, we opted to work on Sundays just because we had a good job, a good pay and we wanted to fulfill our dream; a dream to build a home we like to call patch of heaven, even matters between us started to become tense.
On our first anniversary we asked ourselves if we managed to keep up the purpose of our marriage, and it was obvious that though we hoped for it, we were not able to do it. We also understood that we did not know enough about our God. Which brought us in front of two questions: (1.) Are we really living as believers ought to? and (2.) Are we going to church just because we have an obligation?
Both these questions made us question our own salvation, and we would like to thank Pastor Nelson for seeing us through that phase. My wife and I believe that Jesus died for our sins and gave us a second shot at eternity and we as Christians who claim to know him have the responsibility to walk in his ways and will be held accountable by God on the day of Judgment.
That is when we decided to put first things first. God is the priority in our lives and only after Him shall the rest follow. We put aside the one thing that stood between us and God; our jobs. Yeah! We did have questions in our own minds on our future and we also had a tough time answering some of the questions shot at us by others. But when we asked ourselves which sounded more promising “What about your dream home you like to call patch of heaven?” or “I am pleased with you my faithful servant”, we didn’t have to think twice, because a patch of heaven is never going to replace heaven and the promise it has to offer.
We have joined the Baptist Seminary of South India in Bangalore and we hope that we will be able to learn about our God better and bring glory to His name through our lives both in the seminary and outside. My name is Thomas and that brave woman next to me is my wife Nisha, and we are looking forward to the coming again of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I hope you are too. Praise the Lord. | 2019-04-26T16:14:37 | https://bethelbaptistchurch.in/support/zaheer-thomas/ |

IELTS reading passage. Cambridge IELTS 4, Test 2, Reading Passage 2 -ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE IN AUSTRALIA.This resources shared only for Educational Purpose.
The first students to study alternative medicine at university level in Australia began their four-year, full-time course at the University of Technology, Sydney, in early 1994. Their course covered, among other therapies, acupuncture. The theory they learnt is based on the traditional Chinese explanation of this ancient healing art: that it can regulate the flow of‘Qi’ or energy through pathways in the body. This course reflects how far some alternative therapies have come in their struggle for acceptance by the medical establishment.
Australia has been unusual in the Western world in having a very conservative attitude to natural or alternative therapies, according to Dr Paul Laver, a lecturer in Public Health at the University of Sydney. ‘We’ve had a tradition of doctors being fairly powerful and I guess they are pretty loath to allow any pretenders to their position to come into it.’ In many other industrialised countries, orthodox and alternative medicine have worked ‘hand in glove’ for years. In Europe, only orthodox doctors can prescribe herbal medicine. In Germany, plant remedies account for 10% of the national turnover of pharmaceuticals. Americans made more visits to alternative therapists than to orthodox doctors in 1990, and each year they spend about $USi2 billion on therapies that have not been scientifically tested.
In 1993, Dr Laver and his colleagues published a survey of 289 Sydney people who attended eight alternative therapists’ practices in Sydney. These practices offered a wide range of alternativetherapies from 25 therapists. Those surveyed had experienced chronic illnesses, for which orthodox medicine had been able to provide little relief. They commented that they liked the holistic approach of their alternative therapists and the friendly, concerned and detailed attention they had received. The cold, impersonal manner of orthodox doctors featured in the survey. An increasing exodus from their clinics, coupled with this and a number of other relevant surveys carried out in Australia, all pointing to orthodox doctors’ inadequacies, have led mainstream doctors themselves to begin to admit they could learn from the personal style of alternative therapists. Dr Patrick Store, President of the Royal College of General Practitioners, concurs that orthodox doctors could learn a lot about bedside manner and advising patients on preventative health from alternativetherapists.
The survey suggested that complementary medicine is probably a better term than alternativemedicine. Alternative medicine appears to be an adjunct, sought in times of disenchantment when conventional medicine seems not to offer the answer. | 2019-04-19T16:51:58 | https://dxschool.org/alternative-medicine-australia/ |
I have experienced a number of Crossfit Gym’s and I rate Thermal as the best. The real difference is the coaching. The owner, Vinny, is not only extremely knowledgeable, but he also cares about his clients and is vested in their health. It’s a friendly atmosphere that offers something for the beginner as well as the long time athlete.
Whether an experienced athlete or brand new to crossfit you should check out crossfit Thermal! I joined Thermal about 6 months ago and it has been an amazing experience. The coaches are so knowledgeable and give you the individual attention you need to reach your fitness goals. Every class is challenging and fun. The Thermal community is supportive and encourage you to be the best you can be!
Crossfit Thermal is a top notch facility with coaching to match.
Vinny is an amazing coach and really tunes in to the athletes and his/her needs. His passion and knowledge of Crossfit makes class very enjoyable. I am always challenged by each and every WOD.
The growing community is awesome and supportive – it makes you feel like you are a part of a family.
If you are thinking about testing the Crossfit waters or are in the area, Crossfit Thermal is the place to go!
Vinny provides an excellent combination of motivating a person while making the workout fun. I have been going to the gym for years but never had someone instruct me on proper lifting. In a very fun, encouraging, and supporting way Vinny made some positive corrections in my deadlift technique and I instantly could feel the difference. The Crossfit Thermal facilities are top notch.
I had recovered from a car accident in 2005 and now 9 years later am still hesitant to do some movements with moderate to heavy weight when doing back exercises. However, I felt really comfortable receiving instruction from Vinny on proper lifting technique, not pressured to lift at a weight higher than I was comfortable, and challenged in a fun way. After learning proper technique from Vinny I felt more confident in what my body can do. Next time I’ll place more weight on the bar!
The warm-up, instruction of the WOD, and the instruction on the individual activities was the perfect length of time and made me feel ready to exercise. The music at Crossfit Thermal is much better than the gym! Fun, motivating, and charged music kept me going. Even better, I didn’t have to wear any ear buds and a music player that usually gets in the way when exercising. I enjoyed the team effort in completing the WOD. Vinny has very positive and infectious energy that makes exercising fun and physically productive.
Best Crossfit Class I have ever taken!
My husband and I moved to Conshy and we are so excited we found Thermal! We had a great community back in AZ and didn’t think we would be lucky enough to find that again, but we did! Coach Vinny, Coach P, Coach Sarah and Coach KT are so knowledgable and fun to take classes with. There is a huge focus on the movements and being efficient. Programming is excellent! Love this box! | 2019-04-23T11:52:39 | https://www.crossfitthermal.com/testimonials/ |

Dessertbuzz | Best cupcake in New York City: Grub Street says Chikalicious DessertBuzz Agrees!
In a feature on Grub Street, Gramercy Tavern’s Nancy Olsen rated 15 of New York City’s best cupcakes on and rankedDessertBuzz favorite Chikalicious number one. She also rated Kyotofu 3rd which is another DessertBuzz recommendation. Truthfully, whenever I see a list like this, especially one backed with a celebrity name, I always cringe. I feel like these features usually miss some of the best and are far too easy on the most popular places. So kudos to Nancy Olsen for telling it like it is on the weighty subject of the best cupcake in New York.
Olsen’s list lines up with mine pretty damn closely. She is totally spot-on with ButterCup and Billy’s being dry. I have always wondered if the patrons of these places have any idea what a good cupcake tastes like. She did get a few things wrong. I have had the cupcakes at Sugar Sweet Sunshine many times and never found them dry at all so I am not sure where that came from. I have reached out to some of the big cupcakes sites to see what they think. I’ll report back soon.
Chikalicious Dessert Club: The best cupcake in the city?
Magnolia and Crumbs may get the press but its not exactly news that they aren’t the best cupcake in town. New York Magazine named Kyotofu the best cupcake over 2 years ago (I agreed). Since then there have been other “alternative cupcakes” such as Sugar Sweet Sunshine and Royale Bakery. I would like to introduce 2 more possible claimants to the cupcake throne: One is very well known: Chikalicious Dessert Club and one that is off the beaten path (at least for now), Sweet Revenge.
The truth is I don’t really like regular cupcakes. They’re overly sweet, often dry and the frosting is granular and nasty. But the triple chocolate cupcake with chocolate ganche filling from Chikalicious Dessert Club is really more than a cupcake. It’s a dessert (you can’t easily make it at home). Its got both a unique frosting and filling that differentiate it from its peers. The Ganache filling isn’t just some over-sweet chocolate colored paste. It actually tastes like real chocolate. It’s hard to “one-up” the triple chocolate unless you like marshmallow. In that case just order the S’mores cupcake with chocolate filling and toasted house made marshmallow topping. The S’mores cupcake is basically a freshly toasted campfire marshmallow on top of a fresh baked cupcake with chocolate inside.
These cupcakes don’t belong in the same category as the ones from Crumbs or Magnolia. They are moist, perfectly crafted and have all kinds of textures going on. The care that goes into these cupcakes is evident in how they look.
Chikalicious Dessert Club’s website is here. | 2019-04-18T11:18:10 | http://dessertbuzz.com/best-cupcake-in-new-york-city-grub-street-says-chikalicious-dessertbuzz-agrees/ |

Region 6's Texas Health Institute's Roundtable proposal accepted for National Network of Public Health Institute's (NNPHI) 2016 Annual Conference in May.
This is the 3rd year in a row that Texas Health Institute (THI) will be presenting a program session at NNPHI's Annual Conference . This year, THI will be introducing an important topic to the public health institutes and public health training center communities. THI, with the help of Equality Texas, is developing several online courses on LGBTQ Community Issues. These courses resulted from our Region 6 South Central Public Health Training Center retreat in January.
THI's NNPHI Roundtable - PHI's C.A.R.E.S. - Compassion, Acceptance, Resilience, Equality, Support - is the first Transgender community session presented at a NNPHI Annual Conference. "Moms, Dads, Sisters, Brothers, Daughters, Sons' Family, right? Yes, but many of these family members have been rejected by their family, friends, and society. Transgender people come from all walks of life. We are your co-workers, and your neighbors. We are 7-year-old children and 70-year-old grandparents. We are a diverse community, representing all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as faith backgrounds." An estimated 700,000 transgender people, including 134,500 veterans, live in the United States. Join our Roundtable discussion to learn more about Transgender Americans, why the community is important to population health, and identify public health collaborators working with the Transgender community. Identify steps to create supportive Human Resource policies to include Transgender employees. Explore how we can work together to connect Public Health Institutes/PHTCs/LPSs with the Transgender community. THI, our Region 6 South Central Texas LPS is creating a Transgender community curriculum based on this content.
Camille Miller, Meghan Stabler, and John Oeffinger are the Roundtable leaders. Meghan is an accomplished international business executive with extensive expertise as a strategist, technologist, marketer and communicator. She is a member of the Board of Directors for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), and a member of HRC's Business Council focusing on LGBT workplace issues, policy, and practices. Meghan also travels to other countries as a U.S. State Department representative on LGBT and Transgender community issues. We are fortunate to have Meghan and our colleagues at Equality Texas helping us create this innovative curriculum and introducing this important public health topic to the NNPHI and PHTC communities. | 2019-04-24T05:50:05 | http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs122/1101058255962/archive/1124309369581.html |

The war was far from ending and the fight was still as fierce as when Chamma came. Chamma had led to good the mission that was intended to him and without failing until the end he was invited to go in the residence of his King. This King kept a place for those who fought for his reign.
On the path that led at the King’s residence, he met a group of warriors that was going to the same place. One of them told him how a group of men lost their lives because they wanted to fight for their own glory. These brave warriors were fighting with great power and destroyed the enemy in big numbers. One day they realized the power that they had and that it was easy for them to fight. From then on they decided to fight for their own glory.
Every victory left a bit more place to pride that was eating them more and more, until the day they totally abandoned their King and there their power left them. When they realized, it was too late to return back. They fell one after the other in the battle, and died in dreadful pain.
After a long travel they arrived in the royal city were they were welcomed by the sound of trumpets. | 2019-04-26T16:35:58 | http://www.morgarten.net/lost-hordes |

At my house a stuffed toy has about a 5 minute life span. The the stuffing is out, and the squeaker has been removed like the heart of a wild animal and has been neutralized so that it won't make that noise anymore. Even though he likes the noise. I am speaking of Spaatz, he has a high play drive and need to chew things. I am happy to report that he does confine his chewing to toys and dog approved bones. Good thing, I once had a Labrador that destroyed a really nice dining room set with her chewing. Spaatz here has a set of teeth though, I have yet to find a toy that squeaks, including Kong toys that he can't destroy. Shredding little bits of rubber all over, or stuffing and fuzz rolling around like tumble weeds. I wouldn't bother, but it makes him so happy to get something. Hard to resist making the kids happy. | 2019-04-26T07:46:54 | http://www.mythreedoxsons.com/2013/03/how-long-should-toy-last.html |

The Citroen C-Zero joins the company’s line of electrically powered vehicles. The first company to release electric vehicles was Berlingo and Peugeot. But other companies like Citroen joined the competitive market to be a cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to the rising fuel costs. The Citroen C-Zero is a rebadged variation of the Peugeot iOn and Mitsubishi i-MiEV, delivering strong and smooth acceleration along town roads. Zero emissions save you from tax costs and lessen your monthly running costs.
This electrically powered innovator is powered by a 66 bhp or 47 kilowatt electric motor. Its torque is at 140lb ft when starting from standstill. You won’t have any problems accelerating into urban speeds. In fact the C-Zero’s speed is so impressive that it can outlast and outperform a small diesel or petrol vehicle. The drive is also made easier thanks to the absence of a gearbox.
The car’s centre of gravity is kept low despite the C-Zero’s tall height and does so by keeping the motor and batteries underneath the floor. This not only balances the body weight but also allows the C-Zero to be stable even on urban road conditions. Suspension complies so well that it absorbs most of the impact from bumps and potholes.
The C-Zero also excels in handling, being practically silent when running along the road. The only noise you’ll hear is a slight whirr from the motor, but it only registers as a hum in the background. Once you go faster, the most irritating sound it can have is a slight whine. Expect some wind noise, however, when you go on moderate speeds.
The interior has more than enough space for four passengers, along with an adequate boot and four doors for easy entry. The C-Zero’s narrow track also makes it an easy to drive, especially when you have to slither through traffic gaps. Drivers won’t have any problems either looking at all angles thanks to the all-around visibility. A tight turning circle is provided for as well by the rear-mounted motor.
The ride is kept smooth as well by the C-Zero’s decent body control, sharp and responsive steering, and Soft springs that also deliver a decent ride.
Being an electric car, you can’t expect it to be as long lasting as a typical motor vehicle. The vehicle’s charge runs out quicker when you have the air-con on max and the main beam on at night. You can conserve more power by keeping them off, but if you have decided on an electric car, then such a compromise doesn’t come as a surprise.
Although the electric motor can readily accelerate from standstill, it still needs a little more work when you go above 30mph. Any additional pace might also put the vehicle’s range in harm’s ways. But if you’re merely winding through traffic or going through urban roads, you won’t have any problems accelerating into 30mph.
To remedy the buyers’ worries over lifespan and battery costs, a four-year contract was offered at £299 a month and includes leasing the battery, cost, and car, along with a two-year warranty and a five-year drivetrain warranty, as well as full maintenance and service. | 2019-04-18T14:48:20 | https://www.autoweb.co.uk/usedcars/citroen/berlingo-multispace |
My name is Mark VanCaster I'm 26 and living in LaCrosse, WI. I took a sales job for my company(The Hillman Group) in which the territory's hub is in State College, PA. The job starts on or around Feb. 14th (Valentine's Day). I wanted to live outside of State College, and Tyrone was the most attractive town as far as accessibility to major highways, housing prices and everything in between.
I am looking for a rental property, something small maybe an efficiency/apartment ($200-$500 price range) because I am moving up alone while my fiance and dog sell our house in Wisconsin. I will be on the road a lot for training so I am just looking for a place to hang my hat at the end of the day. If any one could help me out with this one, real estate agents/companies, rental properties or any other leads, it would be greatly appreciated. Good luck in the Super Bowl! | 2019-04-24T04:57:01 | http://cafe.tyronepa.com/feed.php?f=16 |

Certain carriers that we work with have taken a proactive approach on wildfire defense coverage in fire prone areas. Services include an onsite wildfire hazard assessment to recommend ways to protect your home in the event of a wildfire. If a wildfire is approaching, the carrier may coordinate with local fire departments to augment their services by sending insurance companies own certified fire professionals to your home. This private fire department will relocate or remove combustible material, seal eaves, apply fire retardant gel, set up temporary sprinklers, and work to ensure your home is not damaged. All these services are provided at no charge by the carrier. | 2019-04-18T14:38:06 | https://falconwestins.com/wildfire-defense-coverage/ |
JEDDAH: The National Water Company (NWC), the main operator for the King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Project for Zamzam Water, plans to raise production to meet a likely increase in demand because of the expansion at the two holy mosques and more visitors this Ramadan.
The company said that it had already started preparing for the increased production, including expanding maintenance, pumping and distribution operations at the Grand Mosque and Prophet’s Mosque, a local publication reported on Tuesday.
The company said that each family would be allowed to get two cans of Zamzam water. There would be additional bottles provided in the last 15 days of Ramadan, the report stated.
Zamzam water is produced by the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Zamzam Water Project, operated mainly by the National Water Company, whose plant includes four production lines with a maximum production capacity of 200,000 cans a day.
The plant has a central warehouse that can accommodate 1.8 million cans. The Kudai and Al-Sabeel reservoirs can hold 26,000 cubic meters.
The project has some 300 regular workers, with additional staff hired for peak seasons to meet the increased demand from pilgrims and citizens. | 2019-04-25T12:16:04 | http://www.arabnews.com/node/929086/saudi-arabia |
I love, love, love getting a good and lasting flush on my cheeks. I used to have plenty of colours to choose from every morning until I started taking skin care seriously. By putting my skin as priority, I need to purge makeup more frequently to avoid breeding bacteria farms at home (ewww). I had to slim down my "blush bar" to colours and formulas I can use up for a 12 months at the most for powder and 6-8 months for cream. These are my favourite formulas because I have normal to borderline combination skin on my cheeks. They just seem to blend and hold up nicer than liquid on me.
I got all three K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Lasting Cheek Tints to play with: 01 Orange, 02 Peach, and 03 Rose. Orange and Rose are matte in finish while Peach has this veil of micro shimmers. Unboxing, checkout how compact these cheek tints are! So perf for the daily grind and even traveling light. Bonus: the lids are mirrored.
*swoon* On top is Peach, Orange is on your left, and Rose is on your right. Ughhhhh so pretty! I can imagine all the drunk blush looks I can come up with these three colours!
K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Lasting Lip Tints are exclusively distributed by Beauty Box Corp. and can be purchased through Beauty Bar stores nationwide, select Rustan's, select SM Beauty Sections, Metro Gaisano Dept. stores, Chimes Davao, and Zalora. | 2019-04-19T04:42:24 | https://www.phoebeann.com/2018/06/k-palette-1-day-tattoo-lasting-cheek-tints.html |

Social anxiety disorder, previously called social phobia, is a relatively common condition that creates significant distress for those affected. Certain types of social or performance situations trigger it. The person often attempts to deal with the anxiety by avoiding all situations that may trigger it. Social anxiety disorder is the most common of the anxiety disorders. An estimate of its lifetime prevalence in the general population is 7% to 12%. Social anxiety disorder is treatable; the main barrier is often the patient and caregiver's lack of awareness of the problem and of the potential for treatment. In everyday life, social anxiety disorder is often misinterpreted as shyness. People with the disorder are frequently misperceived as being aloof or uncaring. In the healthcare setting, social anxiety disorder can masquerade as nonadherence. No-shows are common among people with this disorder, and the patient may be misjudged as being irresponsible. With knowledge about this common but often hidden disorder, healthcare professionals as a team can help when they ask pertinent and sensitive questions that may bring the patient closer to diagnosis and treatment.
This course is intended for multiple professions, including nurses, physical therapists, radiologic technologists and social workers. | 2019-04-25T02:19:56 | https://www.nurse.com/ce/social-anxiety-disorder-restricts-lives |

There has never been a greater need to change the world of food. Making healthier food choices has become a key issue for people and planet today. Therefore, Wessanen has a number of core values and key behaviours.
As part of our mission and vision, Wessanen aims to make a substantial contribution to helping people improve their diet on a daily basis.
Beyond driving our own business this also includes creating more awareness of the issues among employees, consumers, customers and other stakeholders via talks, presentations and (scientific) articles in media.
300 million people are at a significant risk of developing diet-related illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. All of our products are developed to be healthier and we encourage an overall healthier, organic and vegetarian diet.
We only source sustainable palm oil or, if relevant, replace it altogether. We aim to source as many raw materials as possible from Europe.
Organic agriculture does not allow the use of synthetic fertilisers or pesticides; instead it is using Integrated Pest Management (based on using natural predators).
Overconsumption of meat is a big contributor to Global climate change, can cause cancer in humans as confirmed by the WHO and has various side effects such as increasing resistance to antibiotics in humans. We support vegetarian diets and provide people with healthier alternatives.
The number of people with food allergies is growing. Recent studies have confirmed a significant increase in the occurrence of food allergies, in particular among children.
Soil is the natural resource that ultimately sustains all life on land. Organic farming methods such as crop rotation, intercropping and the use of symbiotic associations are vital to maintaining and improving soil quality.
By 2050, there will be an estimated nine billion people to feed, compared to seven billion today. We believe that this will only be possible if we adopt a healthier, more sustainable diet focused on organic and vegetarian food.
Genetically modified (GM) plants endanger the environment since they can cross-contaminate other plants and transfer their new genes, resulting in possible disruption of ecosystems. We don’t use any GMO in our food.
At Wessanen, we focus on food that is good for people and for the planet. In most cases, foods which benefit our own health are also better for the planet, and vice versa. We have therefore defined our mission as ‘Healthier food, healthier people, healthier planet’. Vegetarian products – accounting for 97% of our range – have the advantage of being, by nature, more sustainable than animal products, which are resource-intensive. This is particularly true for the production of meat. There is a consensus that consumption of animal products has a highly negative impact on the environment and that meat-heavy Western diets are a major challenge for food sustainability around the world. Vegetarian products tend to be healthier, as shown by many epidemiological studies: vegetarian diets are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and glut disease. Some of our brands – including Tartex, Allos and Bjorg – have strong roots in the vegetarian foods industry, being the first in their markets to introduce products such as vegetarian pâtés, amaranth and tofu.
We conduct our business in a way that is transparent, fair and sustainable for all and we want to make a positive contribution to the communities in which we work.
Our commitment is to our stakeholders and future generations. | 2019-04-26T15:36:58 | https://www.biofach.de/en/ausstellerprodukte/bio19/exhibitor-41426934/wessanen-benelux |

Excitation processes and transport of recoiled and secondary electrons generated in fullerite and metal films under photons and electron irradiation were studied by computer simulation. Studied processes resulting in polymerization of fullerite were considered as the basic ones in formation of a pixel in electron nanolithography with fullerite film as an electron-beam resist. Reliability of the computer model and the important role of secondary electrons in the process of pixel formation were confirmed by comparison of the sizes of the calculated secondary electron swarm and the experimental cluster-pixel obtained previously. The photoelectron yield dependence on the incident photon’s energy was also obtained with the same computer model for metal foils which can be used as a radiation stripdetector.
Keywords: Fullerite, Films, Electron beams, Electronic properties. | 2019-04-22T15:57:08 | http://nanojournal.ifmo.ru/articles/volume5/5-1/fullerens/paper09/ |

SAN DIEGO (AP) The Padres have discovered an alternative fuel source, and his name is Yangervis Solarte.
Solarte drove in two runs, and Tyson Ross pitch six solid innings as San Diego beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 to complete a three-game sweep on Wednesday.
Solarte, who had three hits, homered in the sixth inning and added a run-scoring double in the seventh.
In the seventh, Melvin Upton Jr. singled off Matt Marksberry (0-2), stole second and advanced to third on Clint Barmes' groundout. Austin Hedges followed with a double to left-center field, scoring Upton for a 2-1 lead.
Ross pitched six innings, allowing a run on six hits. He walked three and struck out five.
Shawn Kelley (2-2) got the win after striking out the side in the seventh.
Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his 35th save in 37 chances.
Atlanta's Julio Teheran allowed a run and struck out seven over six innings.
It was only the Padres' second three-game sweep of the season. It led to a noisy postgame celebration which could be heard outside the clubhouse.
Marksberry got two outs in the seventh and was charged with two runs, three hits and a walk.
Atlanta has lost 18 of its past 26 games and 10 straight to San Diego at Petco Park.
Atlanta's bullpen gave up 10 runs, 13 hits and five walks in 6 2-3 innings in the three-game series.
The Braves pulled within 3-2 in the eighth on Nick Markakis' third hit, an RBI double to left that scored Cameron Maybin.
Solarte tied the game at 1 in the sixth by belting Teheran's slider over the right field fence. It was Solarte's ninth home run of the year and snapped a string of eight Padres being retired in a row.
The Padres couldn't decipher Teheran early, despite his previous woes on the road, where he's won just twice.
He wiggled from a first-inning jam created by Matt Kemp's hit and walks to Solarte and Justin Upton. But Teheran retired Jedd Gyorko on a fly ball, and Upton, Jr., grounded out.
Over the next three innings, the Padres had only a single by Solarte in the third.
The Braves produced two hits and two walks in the third with one out, but only scored one run.
Michael Bourn singled, but was caught stealing by Hedges. Maybin and Freddie Freeman both walked, with Maybin scoring on Markakis' single. Adonis Garcia grounded out to end the threat.
Tennis legend Rod Laver threw out the first pitch, a borderline strike low and away. Padres bench coach Dave Roberts then escorted Laver, who lives in nearby Carlsbad, California, to home plate for the lineup card exchange and meeting with the umpires. Showing he's no John McEnroe, Laver had a friendly conversation with the officiating crew.
The Braves have scored just 94 runs in 31 games since July 17, which ranks among the lowest in the league. Atlanta has hit just 17 home runs and produced only 71 extra-base hits in that span.
PADRES: RHP Brandon Morrow underwent season-ending shoulder surgery on Wednesday.
Braves: RHP Mike Foltynewicz (4-4, 5.61 ERA) will face the Cubs for the first time in his career. He's looking for his third win in his last four outings as Atlanta begins a four-game series on Thursday in Chicago.
Padres: RHP Ian Kennedy (7-11, 4.20 ERA) will open a three-game series against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. He has won four of his last six starts. | 2019-04-22T04:23:25 | https://www.si.com/mlb/2015/08/19/ap-bbn-braves-padres |
After shopping, it’s just a short ride by bus or tube from Oxford Street to Victoria, to take advantage of Golden Tours’ open top buses for a tour of the city as the sun goes down. The night-time view under the city lights is always mesmerising. The starting point is in Buckingham Palace Road and you need to be there by 19:45. The tour lasts 1¾ hours. At the end of the tour , the bus stops at Victoria station. As it is time for dinner, try Hai cenato? A New-York-Italian restaurant worth a try not far from here, in Victoria’s NOVA complex.
Today’s itinerary starts from Somerset House: this historical building dates back to the 16th century and the vast courtyard is occupied by galleries, restaurants and cafes; it also hosts a variety of seasonal events. For breakfast we choose Tom’s Kitchen and if the weather is kind we can sit on the terrace to admire the river vews. The Courtauld Gallery, open from 10 to 18, is a must for art lovers. Manet’s Girl in the bar of the Folies-Bergère has the power to hold you with her mesmerising eyes.
One New Change is the closest shopping centre to St Paul’s, with shops, restaurants and another panoramic terrace. To round off the day, move further east to Shoreditch and try a taste of modern Indian cuisine at Dishoom in Boundary Street with its décor inspired by an old Irani cafe in Bombay.. Finally one last drink at Bounce - then work off the effects with a lively ping-pong match. And for those who want to dance till the small hours, a visit to the iconic Fabric nightclub is a must. | 2019-04-25T14:34:51 | https://www.britishairways.com/en-it/destinations/london/travel-guide/long-weekend-in-london |
LockInfo, a feature-packed lockscreen mod, was recently updated to version 1.0.114. The update adds quite a few new features…. some of which are pretty cool.
The update adds a pop-up blocker option in the settings that allows you to block pop-ups on the lockscreen. Another cool change is that the mod will now display the full text messages. In the previous version it would only display the first line of the message and then give you a nice ….
There are quite a few other new features and updates… check out the full change log below. You can get LockInfo via the modmyi source.
Birthday Cal Push is an application that will put your Contacts’ birthday’s into your stock Calendar application. I was actually totally stoked to see this application. As far as I know, this is the first app of this type.
The Calendar application for firmware 3.0 didn’t have a lot of changes but there are some pretty important ones. Starting with the ability to add Invitees to your event. Just tap it and it lets you pick from your contact list. Next is Availability. This shows if you are busy, free, tentative or out of office. These two little feature make Calendar a little nicer, but there’s one more. A pretty big feature is the ability to search. At the top of “list view” there is a search box. Just start typing and it will show you results. This is all very useful to those of you using your iPhone for business. Overall the app stayed pretty much the same with some new features. Let me know in the comments what else you think the Calendar App should have as features.
It’s about time!!!! You can now sync your iPhone or iPod Touch with your Google Calendar and Gmail’s contacts. You’re going to want to export all your contacts on your iPhone first so you can import them into Gmail. Otherwise Gmail will write over them the first time. Same thing with your calendar. I’m going to test this out tonight and let you know how it goes but I gotta get to my computer to back up my contacts and calendar first. Here’s a video from Google on how it works and you can learn more about setting it up at here.
Many of you may remember RemindYou, a lock screen calendar app, from firmware 1.1.4 and below. It seems the app has made it’s way to the 2.x firmware. However, this time I can actually get it to work which is nice because with firmware 1.1.4 and below we could never get this application to work for us. When you open the application, you will get a list of Settings. Here you are able to change things like; font, font size, font color, 24 hour time, dim wallpaper…etc. However, I can’t seem to get a few of the settings to work. Any setting with an arrow next to it will not launch. This includes; Font, Font Color and Registration. All of the other Settings work just fine.
LockDockBar is an application that allows you to launch your Phone, Mail, SMS and Calendar apps from your lock screen. When you install LockDockBar, it will automatically add the icons to your lock screen (it does not add an icon for the app to your SpringBoard). You can then launch and use any of the four application right from your lock screen. Once you are finished using any of the apps, you will be brought back to your lock screen. If you select the Home button at any point while using the apps, you will also be brought back to your lock screen. It also displays a badge on the icons (on the lock screen) indicating if you have any missed calls, texts and/or any new email. | 2019-04-26T07:40:20 | http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/tag/calendar/ |
At the end of April, I gave the Chill Zone kids a behind-the-scenes tour of Moody Street’s Tempo Bistro, the restaurant I’ve worked at for nearly five years. We hit all the major spots of interest, including the dining room floor, prep kitchen, walk-in refrigerators, and main kitchen. Since we were there during the early afternoon (before the restaurant opened for the night), the kids even got a chance to chat with the executive and sous (pronounced “sue;” French for “under”) chefs!
As the cornerstone of our work with the Chill Zone, I still wanted to include a healthy snack for the kids to eat during our tour. Luckily, Tempo serves steamed edamame (green soy bean pods) as an appetizer. None of the kids had ever had the dish before, so we turned our healthy snack into a taste test; it got 100% positive feedback. The best part? It is so easy and simple to make at home! Look for it in the freezer section of your local grocery store’s natural foods section. Even better, we’ll be planting loads of edamame @ McDevitt Middle School this week to enjoy in September.
1. Fill a medium-large pot with 6-8 cups of water; bring to a boil.
2. Carefully add one package (typically 14oz) of frozen edamame pods into the pot; cook for 4-5 minutes.
3. Carefully drain the edamame in a colander and lightly sprinkle with salt while hot.

What have we been up to this spring?
The past several weeks have been a very busy time for Healthy Waltham. With the weather continuing to warm up and seeds and seedlings (started indoors in February, March, and April) needing planting and care, we’ve been doing a lot more than usual, but were snapping photos along the way. Here is a medley of pictures capturing some of our more recent activities and garden growth from this past spring.

First radish harvest @ Stanley!
Waltham Fields farmers Amanda and Dan finish their run!
At this week’s Stanley Garden Club and Waltham Boys & Girls Club session, we made a tasty lemon vinaigrette to dip our freshly-harvested and washed lettuces in. We put lemon juice, olive oil, shallot (you could also use onion or garlic), salt, and freshly-ground pepper in a bowl and gently whisked it until all ingredients were well combined. It was a simple and healthy snack that was enjoyed by all on two hot and humid afternoons!
Be sure to check in for weekly updates all summer long, as our garden work will continue at the school, Boys and Girls Club, and public housing gardens throughout these hot months (the best time to grow food in New England) and into the fall.

After realizing the difficulty of freehand-seeding carrots in the garden, Cece and I decided that there had to be an easier way to plant carrots in nice, evenly-spaced rows. If you’re not familiar with these seeds, they are about the same size of a sesame seed, maybe even a little thinner in shape, and the same color as soil, making it really hard to keep track of where you plant them. A few weeks back, I came across these nifty directions for making seed tape with materials found in just about any home. Lucky for us, we were able to find these same supplies right at school.
Using rulers and pencils, the kids measured and marked each inch on four long strips of toilet paper, indicating where each seed would be placed. But first, we had to apply a small dollop of a sticky paste made from flour and water so that the seeds would stay put.
While letting our seed tape dry up a bit, we headed outside to cultivate yet another one of the garden beds. This particular bed had a lot of old plant life to clear out, including some overwintered red lettuce that the kids were more than happy to bag and take home to eat! The shallow-rooted lettuce plants were easy to pull out, but the old Brussels sprout stalks were another story! The kids had to work together, using all of their strength to get those guys out of the bed and into the compost bin.
After loosening up several inches of soil using our trowels and cultivators, we evened out the bed and planted some Swiss Chard seeds. These leafy greens are related to spinach and beets. We planted the Bright Lights variety, which have bright pink, purple, red, orange, and yellow stalks that are tender enough to be eaten right along with the leaves. Though we are growing this crop for food, we also consider them ornamental plants (for decoration) since they add so much beautiful color to the garden.
Next, we carefully gathered our carrot seed tape and planted each strip, one by one, into the garden bed. By the end of the school year, we should be harvesting these carrots and making room for some new plant life.

1) The ease with which I can make a custom type. I was previously making modules using Christoc, which was fine, but now I specify a content type and make it instantly in the cloud.
2) This is a truly headless CMS, though using it as such takes a bit of setup. By making API calls, I will be able to skip making visualizers and keep my content completely separate from having to make pages.
3) For when I do need to make pages, the visualizers are a nifty way of showing this content - they are using the Shopify Liquid Content templating system which is a fully featured (if at times slightly odd) templating engine.
4) The DNN support is amazing, so different from other CMS' I have used in the past. I have bothered these poor people with so many questions and they have always been great.
These dislikes are temporary, solved by the product maturing to the stage where they allow unwashed peasants like myself into their content by direct API call.
1) Cost of being bleeding edge, I do not have an API key so I cannot use the EVOQ content without a visualizer right now. That ability drops with the 9.1.1 release, due out this week.
2) No inherent way to import content out of the gate. They have an import export tool coming but because of timing I will have to whip up something myself. When I get the key they have an example made with excel that I can use.
3) Minor gripe. I want objects to be able to reference themselves. As an example, if I was building a menu, I do not want a content type for level 1 another for level 2 etc - I want a content type menu-item which can have children of itself. Then I can easily build a menu. As I say, minor gripe but it has made me use the old DDRMenu module instead because I don't want a splattering of Content types for different menu levels.
While I am still in the implementation phase, I am super excited for what this offers. One of AEM's newest boasts is that you can use it headlessly - and I think their methodology is kludgy. Sitecore you would have to make all the services yourself, last time I did so I had to do it using SOAP, blurgh.
We are making a new Angular4 site so I will be using a microservice to pull pure data by url. I can then package it up as json objects, which it needs.
To see some of the things this makes possible, go look at what dnn people are doing internally with it http://www.builtwithdnn.com/ ... tantalizing!
Other than the fact that it is a CMS, there isn't much to like. It is just better than hand-coding.
I suppose because you can add and edit content using their rich-text window, that's something to like. But when you compare it to other CMSs on the market vs the price, that rich-text entry and edit is just a barrier to entry in this segment.
It is very hard to use, and features and capability are always behind the CMS pack, let alone the user interface. It is hard so say what I dislike the most because I dislike almost all of it.
Don't bother with this software unless you have lots of money, like a hard-to-use interface, features that are behind open-source CMS and other paid CMS applications, and want to pay high prices for developers which are very hard to find.
It is the CMS platform for one of the web sites I manage, inherited from the previous manager.
Easy to switch to source code editor. Editor UI makes sense and is easy to understand.
Templates and modules can be cumbersome to work with, compared to other CMS. WYSIWYG editor is finicky.
Take time to weigh the pros and cons of using Evoq Content versus Wordpress. Setup and maintenance is not as intuitive as other CMS options. Themes, plugins, and other add-ons can incur a significant cost compared to other CMS options. The developer community surrounding Evoq Content is not as large as other CMS options.
"fully extensible & Functional enterprise class dotnet based CMS"
1. Very modularized. Easy to build modules and deploy.
2. Most of enterprise CMS features are already built in.
1. Very hardware intensive.. does not work on most of the SHared hosting. Requires VPS hosting. Minimum startup RAM is 1500MB.
1. If you are looking for an opensource Dotnet based CMS, this is the software for you!
4. Since it is a CMS, our customers themselves can maintain their content thus reducing the expenses and time to take an information live.
"Making IT and Marketing Happy"
Our editors range from seasoned programmers to people editing a web page for the first time. Evoq Content gives the editors a straight-forward, simple approach to managing content. The learning curve for the CMS is relatively low. Ease-of-use for the average editor does not come with a trade-off of being weak for the IT team. In short, it is the CMS sweet spot of capabilities and ease of use. When a customization is needed, our IT team is able to implement changes easily to meet our business needs. Our marketing team continues to leverage the built-in tools that are continually expanding.
Finally, our IT team, which is small and kept busy, leverages the Enterprise service to get results as efficiently as possible. The DNN team has been very responsive to suggestions, debugging, and advice. When you are a solo administrator, you will benefit from their expert knowledge.
In DNN Evoq Content 8, the Page Settings URL Management tool is not as resilient as it should be. On several occasions, editors have accidentally created redirect loops.
After you decide to use DNN, the Enterprise service was extremely helpful to getting us up and running. Forums are improving, but being able to address specific issues we encountered within our internal environment was extremely helpful. The Annual Summit meetings are also a great place to learn a lot about the CMS.
Our site is used for external marketing as well as internal communications, Ease-of-use is priority #1 (for the developers and the editors).
"DNN for Managing an IIS Farm"
note: the likelihood of recommendation is dependent upon the size of the environment in question. I have a "leaning" towards DNN being more applicable to smaller, one node(web head), environments. A very capable content management system for smaller environments, for sure.
It's quite easy to manage modules and specific page content. I have to admit, from a systems administrative perspective, I do not manage the content as other departments do, however. I deploy code through DNN and perform basic operations through the DNN portal, in conjunction with deployments, but our marketing team is much more involved in day-to-day management of the DNN content.
From my perspective and past experience, DNN management of a web farm of IIS servers is, to put it simply, a bit buggy. We have had, and still do have, consistent issues with having massive syncing between web heads after making small changes on the DNN portal. These result in negative customer experiences. To DNN supports credit, we have worked quite extensively on this issue, and I need to pick that case up again, as I set it aside some time ago to move onto other "fires".
Dynamic/constantly changing web content. Our marketing team is able to update the site at will, will only small quirks here and there.
"DNN Developer, Designer and Adminsitrator"
As a developer the feature that I like best is the ability to extend the core functionality through the development of custom modules. I have always thought of DNN as much more than a CMS but rather a full web application framework. I also have to mention that I have had nothing but excellent support provided by DNN support - they go above and beyond on a regular basis. And of course, you can't speak about DNN without mentioning the DNN community. The DNN community has traditionally been an incredibly valuable resource regardless if you are just starting out or are a seasoned developer - there's always support to be had from the general community.
Download trial, watch a few inro videos and test it out for yourself. Also, contact the general DNN community through various online forums to see how supportive the community is.
Evoq Content has provides an efficient and flexible platform for managing and publishing content. Our marketing team love the ease at which dynamic content can be published on a regular basis as well as the ease at which static content can be updated when necessary. However, the flexibility in extending the platform, either through the utilization of commercial modules or the development of custom ones, has provided us the biggest benefit.
Evoq is a great one stop CMS for education. The interface is user friendly and even the technical novice can add content quickly. Should an issue arise, Evoq's support team is one of the best in the industry. They are quick, courteous, and responsive. I would highly recommend Evoq if you entity is looking for a efficient and affordable CMS.
The one feature I do not like of the Evoq Content is the Content Manager flyout. If you want to give a user permission to add a new page to the website, you have to give the user full Content Manager rights. This issue is being resolved in version 9.0.
The biggest benefit of Evoq Content is ease of use. For a school district that does not want to have a single point of contact updating all school sites, the ease of use to be able to distribute responsibility is a big plus. And, if you have an in house development team, the software can be further customized to meet any of your needs.
The support staff is what I like best. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. They respond very quickly. Not once have I had an issue that was DNN related that they couldn't fix.
I administrate our site. For the most part everything is very smooth and I don't have to do much. I spend a lot of time working on the server itself, very little time is spent on DNN.
Once you get upgraded the product is stable. However, the process of upgrading can be problematic at times. There have been times during an upgrade where things break. The good thing is the DNN support staff can usually figure out the problem quickly and fix the issue.
This does not really have to do with the DNN product itself but it is something to consider. The following is not true of all third party modules.
When using third party modules be weary. Chances are good you will have problems with them. These modules can cause problems with the DNN software too. On occasion I have run into issues with the third party module's support people not helping fix a problem their module caused. The other issue with the third party modules is the company that develops them will at times just stop development on them so you become reliant upon their module and then it becomes outdated or no longer useable. There have been times that the third party module becomes open source. I have never had any luck with open source modules. So with the thrid party modules when they break you may end up scrambling to find something else to replace them.
We have constant need of changing the content. We are constantly adding new content, editing content or deleting old content. We are constantly changing things. DNN makes all of this easy.
"Powerful, extensible CMS that can come at a cost to performance"
DNN Platform (recently renamed from DNN Community edition) is a very powerful open sourced CMS solution for anyone that is familiar with the .NET stack. Extending the framework through modules is straight forward, skin creation is relatively easy and aided through the use of skin objects, and a healthy user community base to reach out to for guidance or support.
DNN has been becoming slightly more bloated over the years, and uses a lot of system resources on the server side even when idle. It can also be very chatty with the database. The development team has been working as of late to improve the performance and hogging of resources though.
From brochure sites to advanced Web 2.0 applications, we have utilized DNN from every end of the spectrum and its been able to handle everything we've thrown at it so far.
"Best customizable CMS with module development"
1- The method of module development for customizing cms modules and create new modules for add new features to cms.
2- The user experience of management ui and simplicity in working with it.
3- The open source of core platform.
4- Support of develop customizable themes.
1- Lack of training materials for module development provided by dnn or third party communities.
2- Need heavy physical resources.
DNN Evoq give great built in tools for create any type of portal with simplicity if administrate and customize them through module development and large number of people in community.
Thanks for the review, Anas. Regarding your comment about documentation: earlier in 2016, we launched the DNN Documentation Center, a central documentation source for DNN administrators, developers, designers and content managers. You can find it here: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/docs/. Have a visit and let us know what you think - thanks!
"Been a DNN Developer for 3+ years"
I like the built in ability to extend the DNN core. It makes integrating custom development pieces much easier.
There are some pieces that could use some improvement. The standard search is not the greatest, but the ability to integrate 3rd party search options really helps fill in the voids that the core lacks.
I would recommend giving DNN Evoq a serious consideration for your business needs. The flexibility and security that come with the DNN Platform are unmatched by any other CMS.
As a developer, I work with many different business problems for different companies. DNN has been able to accommodate all business problems that I have crossed thus far.
I like the simplicity the best because it makes it incredibly easy to upgrade content.
I dislike the simplicity just as much if not more than I dislike it. The way it is set up does not allow for the use of certain modules that are not approved by their network. It also does not like to always save your work when you finish. Also, when copying and pasting from a word document into the website, it completely messes up the formatting making one go back and spend more time reformatting the text.
It allows for the easier finding and use of our site.
"Content management that offers a plethora of features"
Managing business websites. Some of the benefits are being able to edit, add, and remove content on demand.
"DNN Evoq "The Game Changer""
The DNN Evoq platform has empowered our marketing team to provide agile, real-time, content rich information through our website. This gives us the enviable ability to quickly identify a market need, build, and go live - all without the need for any additional technical support. This flexibility is a complete game-changer!
We've not yet had the chance to install the latest update, so it would be unfair to some note some smaller details around the user interface. From what I've seen in the demo many of those items are addressed, as well as providing a significant leap into a more elegant build environment.
If your marketing team (or other business unit outside of IT) needs to be able to "self-serve" for daily building and content management, I'd highly suggest you look at the DNN Evoq solution. Because we are fortunate to have in-house developers, we were able to really create a deeply branded, custom site. However, many of the off-the-shelf skins offer great options too.
The positive impact on our Key Performance Indicators continues to build. These metrics, along with our site recently being named the Best Education Website in the Internet Advertising Competition, presented by the Web Marketing Association, confirms that our DNN Evoq choice created a strong platform for success.
"DNN/EVOQ integration at Lincare Holdings"
A large amount of support from the community and company. The built in tools sets for authentication, workflow, and change management, were easily integrated with our existing systems. Providing our business units with the ability to make changes in an intuitive web interface increases the speed to market or our new DME products.
We we're initially limited to SPA module development and we're unable to leverage our in house MVC .NET programmers. Then the DNN 8.4.1 update allowed us to integrate our MVC Modules for our National Location finder and custom reorder forms.
Use the DNN blogs and document repositories to find the answer to just about any DNN question.
We have 20+ DBA subsidiary companies that each requires it own brand and marketing platform. DNN/EVOQ allows us to manage the content in one location and provide access for the individual organizations to complete their own updates. We can maintain a separate look and feel for all our companies and still share common content across multiple sites. We have experienced an increase satisfaction in our individual business managers and an increase in overall customer satisfaction.
"King of the CMS mountain, is there anything this platform can't handle?"
I've been using DNN since version 3 and Evoq since about version 5. I've not yet found a an area where I could say, "I wish DNN would do this." I've had to get creative in some instances to provide a solution to a particular problem, but it's never been about what the platform can do, only about how it's used. Out of the box, the core modules are great, but when you add in some from the store or free modules like OpenWebStudio the possibilities are endless in what you can do and it only seems to be getting better with each new version. The community and support network surrounding this product is outstanding.
The price tag for the editions above community can be a bit steep, in my opinion, for the feature set that each version brings. However, for Evoq Content, it seems fair for the outstanding support, access to manuals, and first access to latest stable versions.
Evaluate the community package as well as Evoq. The Community edition will more than likely handle most business needs. For those requiring additional support, Evoq Content is great. You'll pay for the support, but it's worth it to have someone to call if you run into problems.
One of the main issues we had prior to installing the CMS was being understaffed meant not always quickly addressing requests for updated content across several sites. To help with this, DNN provided us with the ability to assign and train Web Admins for each site and help spread the work load. Now individual departments keep their sites up to date in a timelier fashion.
"Perfect CMS with a great market place to download modules"
I like how easy it is to get going with a bunch of templates and modules for every use case you could need. You can also get mobile responsive skins too. We found it very easy to export a template and load into another site, therefore making it easy to make a quick portfolio of websites for the company.
As well as liking the modules, you don't find many that have a great UI on the backend for the admin users who update the content. The licence was a bit of an issue for us because to be able to achieve high availability in the Cloud, you sometimes need to have two instances of your site available and then load balance. However, the licence was per IP address, so if you had two instances of your site, you had to pay for two licences. I am not sure if DNN has fixed this now though.
Start with the light version to get a feel for it, if you like then you can buy the pro version. Also, go to the market place and check some of the modules there before custom building your own. Its possible to buy a really decent module for less than $100 which is likely to have been tested which saves you lots of time and money.
Create a template website and then replicate it many times. Pay for one licence and re-use multiple times. Create single sign on easily. The business I was working at had 50 venues, and didn't want to pay for 50 websites, but instead create a few templates and then cookie cut those.
For me the best thing about DNN is the ease and speed at which I can implement a fully functional web portal that is complete with user/role based security. Also that I can see immediately see what my changes to the site and it's content look like after editing right from the same UI. No need to log out of the back end.
The other OUTSTANDING aspect of DNN is the amazing community of users in the ecosystem. I have been able to go from knowing nothing about the platform to being VERY comfortable in all aspects of it's use, largely due to the willingness of other community members to help and their extensive contributions in the way of documentation and tutorials.
When I first started using DNN back in 2009 there were some security and performance problems that have since been resolved. At this point, I honestly can't think of anything significant I could say in the negative about DNN.
I would STRONGLY recommend the DNN Community Platform to anyone who is looking to develop a serious and professional online presence that requires little to no coding experience. On the other hand, if you are a seasoned developer, you will find the DNN platform offers a very robust foundation to develop and implement your own custom web based applications and modules.
I am a front end web developer (learning to be a back end developer as well) and being able to roll out a fully functional website for my clients in a matter of days rather than weeks or months has greatly improved my bottom line. I am a one man shop a this point and because of DNN I have been able to triple the number of clients I serve without hiring any additional staff.
"Powerful, Convenient and Extensible but Sometimes Frustrating"
Using DNN, I can produce a modern, subscription, website in a weekend. My site will contain an elegant skin, a graphic rotator, the ability for people to register, basic social media functions, a menu that changes as different users log in, a newsletter broadcasting ability, lots of content, pop-up windows, blogs and articles. That's a lot of functionality for free and for someone who is not a professional web developer. You can see an example of such a site at agilethinking.com. This site is built on the free edition of DNN Community supplemented by both free and purchased modules.
In considering DNN, it is important to realize that there is a large community of module developers. There are many free modules available (http://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com/) and a large number of paid ones as well (http://store.dnnsoftware.com/). A bit of web research will enable you to identify the reliable and creative developers whose modules make this platform especially flexible and powerful.
In short, DNN enables you to create a professional, highly interactive site without the need to write code. You can control the look and feel through the skin you use and enhance the functionality through purchased modules.
If you are more technical there are several rapid development tools available that will allow you to create your own custom modules (for example XMod Pro ) and if you are a developer (or hire one) you can code custom modules in C# or Visual Basic.
DNN started out as an open source project but like other open source products now has commercial versions. While the company has made good on its promise to continue developing the Community edition, the support often feels haphazard and spotty. Some bugs persist for a long time.
Some open source products seem to have a more active and welcoming user community than you will find at DNN. Within the DNN community, there is a bias toward developers. If you know how to code and are comfortable with .NET and Microsoft servers you'll be fine. If you, like me, are less technical you may find that some aspects of DNN are frustrating. This is not to suggest that the hurdles are insurmountable but some things you may want to do require you to change files on the server rather than being able to manage them from within DNN.
There is help available. If you are on your own, you can subscribe to DNN Creative or DNN Hero both of which produce instructional videos on a regular basis. A company like Managed.com will install, host and provide excellent service for your DNN site, And there are many consulting companies that will help you as well for a fee.
Despite my frustrations, I have been a loyal DNN user for many years. I am not a developer and want to be able to create powerful and attractive web presences quickly and easily. DNN fills this need.
If you lack technical or web development skills, you will be fine as long as you stick to the basic platform functionality extended by free and purchased modules. You can do a lot. If you have more complex custom needs bordering on needing to create a web application, consider hiring a DNN consultant.
If any of these describe your business you should consider DNN. You have a business which requires a web presence. You are delivering content or need an eCommerce platform. You want users to be able to register and want to show different classes of users the different content. You want to empower some users to create and manage limited content. You want to be able to send out newsletters to users based on their role. You want basic social computing functionality like groups, discussions, voting, a news feed. You want blogs and articles. You want multiple languages.
If you plan to resell a product based on DNN, note that it is licensed using the MIT license which is extremely favorable and places few restrictions on you. This is unusual in the open source community.
I like how easy it is to use. The interface looks good. Building skins is very easy.
Lots of bugs are constantly discovered and added to the product through upgrades. We have used it for many years and have never had a bug free experience.
We provide website content management to a University environment.
"A Solid Performer that Could Use a Bit of a Diet"
It's really easy for our clients to use. Compared to other CMS systems we offer, DNN takes much less training for the client to be up and running making changes to their web site. Also, I like the flexibility of the platform. If we build the site on DNN we can be confident that we'll be able to handle just about any request the client might have in the future.
It's big. There is a lot of complexity to the system and it probably does take a bit more skill to setup than the others. This can also result in slow response times if you don't have it on good hardware and properly configured.
I'd look at this product for flexibility and ease of use for the end user. If you do go this route invest in some knowledge to get it up and running correctly.
We use it as the "platform" for all the web sites and apps that we build.
"DNN framework one of best Web CMS.."
I have worked extensively using DNN Framework to develop customize CMS application using .NET Framework, Silverlight, Visual Studio etc. Its very much flexible to inject customize modules and at the same time taking advantage of existing modules and cross cutting concerns like security, logging etc. It has various interception points where we can add custom aspects as per requirement. The project was a big success in a very short span of time. As a Architect, Designer and developer i recommend everybody to try any DNN framework.
We struggled a lot while upgrading the version of DNN. So backward compatibility can be improved so that the existing modules are not changed to cater new versions.
As a Architect, Designer and developer i recommend everybody to try any DNN framework and take advantage of existing and customized module without wasting time to develop various aspects and cross cutting concerns like security, db connection, logging, alerts and communications.
As we can inject customize modules using C# or VB.net.. It can cater any business problems.
"Powerful development platform in the .net environment"
It is build on the Microsoft environment. If that is where you operate, this is a great environment. The best thing about DNN for me is that it is one website platform that we can make do just about anything. The CMS aspects are fine and the fact that we have access to the full .Net programming environment means that we have the ability to build just about any website or web application on the DNN platform. The primary benefits are having to learn only one platform..
The ability to create custom modules or to purchase 3rd party modules provides all of the functionality that anyone could ever need for a website. Third party skins extend this to designs that can be purchased too.
The admin functions for end users are not the most friendly. Experiences users have not problem at all but the interface is confounding to some new users.
There is some opportunity for confusion between the paid (commercial) versions of the product and the free, open source editions. My experience is almost exclusively with the open sources version. They perform very well. The company proclaims their commitment to the open source platform but their 'for profit' mission sometimes causes confusion among their users.
I have a web development company. Virtually 95% of the websites we have build over the last 4 years have used the DNN platform is a significant way. There is a great deal of functionality that does not need to be recreated or re-integrated for each project. The platform is stable and robust.
"Perfect Application framework to large kind of business solutions"
Complete customization, adaptable module integrations, datadriven solutions.
I've never found a kind of problem that I cannot implement in DNN.
Few "beautyfull" marketing-ready themes. And quite expensive themes in the marketplace.
It's a perfect application framework to bridge CMS and datadriven requirements.
The problem was finding a complete fullstack solution framework to adopt in my agency to deploy any kind of marketing/business solutions to my clients.
DNN is a perfect, powerfull, completly adaptable tool for rapid devolpment any kind of project.
"Spoiled Product By SaaS Monetization Strategy"
Evoq Content makes it painfully easy for someone with an extremely shallow technical skill set to oversee large corporate web assets. There are also many nice controls around user permissions so for larger organizations whom have a stringent process for making content updates it is also a viable solution.
The localization for multi-lingual / multi-national websites is a nice plug & play way to tailor-fit experiences for many cultures.
There are many go-to plugins available which have been rolled into Evoq Content so that you don't have to piece-meal them during configuration.
It insists on hosting on DNN's Windows Azure, which locks you into a re-occuring cost that previous versions did not require and gives you very limited access & control over your own servers. Great for non-technical individuals but a huge disabling factor if you have ANY internal technical staff.
While Evoq Content lowers some technical infrastructure barriers to entry associated with a .NET web application stack, what you have to give up in terms of being able to customize (or even access) the experience, functionality, & code are not worth the cost. If it's exactly what you want - awesome! - otherwise you're going to be fighting up-hill to implement customizations.
As far as extending or customizing any aspect of the Evoq platform it's a fool's errand. There database, file storage structure, & code are obstrificated to an unusable point and there is next to nothing when it comes to documentation.
Evoq Content is setup for performing as a stellar demo to make sales to business teams, establishing re-occuring revenue in the form of hosting & licensing for DNN, & building in the up-selling of software development services to "custom" their product.
If you want to set & forget a large website your business team will mostly be adding static content to - GO FOR IT!
If your technical team owns the website, you have any custom functionality requirements, or want to own what you build - DO NOT BUY!
In the corporate multi-national website the localization & multi-site management were huge benefits from DNN - unfortunately I understand that their licensing policies have changed where you cannot use a single install to management websites on multiple root domains which is a huge barrier to entry for any company managing multiple websites.
"DNN is the best CMS. period. "
I started using DNN since 2009 and also delivered few projects to my clients. The deliverables were landing and micro-sites with forums, e-commerce, etc. I was able to write custom modules with the help of good documentation and community support.
I opted DNN as its very easy to use for non-developers. The expectations that one has by a CMS were met when combined with modifying content, skin and modules whether they are out of the box or custom solutions.
When I started using DNN, I thought the documentation was not covered for all the parts. However, it has evolved a lot since then and now has good docs. It was a open source app before but the only quality learning material I got was by paying to DNNCreative site. It has many videos covering almost everything. I expected all this to be provided by the community itself instead of going to a third party service.
If you are a developer, use your time to go through documents if you want to create some custom modules. Out of the box solution is good anyway as everything is GUI driven, so it is very easy to setup. You will need to spend some time to write something that is not available but before investing time on it, look for the modules available in the store as it may solve your needs.
With addition to a proper landing site and other micro-sites, I had to provide forums, comment support, e-commerce modules that were linked to the APIs of the EPOS system at my client's location. I also added support of CRUD operations related to CRM data. Talking about micro-sites, it was very easy to deliver custom designs for each microsite.
I like that is very simple to use, simple to extend and there are thousands of available modules available to use. Also there is a pretty big community so is easy to find help & support.
The only thing that I dislike is that can be tough to move content from one install to another. I'm mostly thinking in a PREPROD / PROD environment where the users enter some content first and then want to push it to production.
All type of business. As mentioned before, a lot of features coming out of the box, easy to extend, easy to use, and a LOT of modules available to buy and download for free.
The best part of evoq is its awesomely powerful search engine. Many clients assume that a powerful search engine is an out-of-box feature of a CMS (Google ruined them ;) ), without considering the cost behind it. And now they will get it, just as they would like it to be.
Nothing is discomforting, except a few browser issues (it's more like limitations of older browsers).
You need to know if end client is asking for a Ferrari or a Fiat and evaluate evoq accordingly. It might be not the ideal solution for each client, but its worth giving a try (use free trial version).
Providing a powerful CMS with equally powerful search engine. No rocket science, but sometimes its difficult to manage the expectations of end client.
"EVOQ 9.0 brings DNN to the forefront of modern CMS'"
DotNetNuke's Evoq Content 9.0 is a major upgrade from previous DNN verisions, bringing life to an aging CMS. A combination of excellent customer support, extensive yet adaptable module marketplace and user friendly solution interface enables users of various personas/roles to easily visualize, adapt and implement content.
Cost Basis, "Liquid" content needs to be streamlined a little more, More base skins would be nice.
Web Content Management, Website Analytics, Digital Asset Management, Marketing and centralizing a business's programs.
"DNN is our platform of choice for building websites for clients all over the world!"
On-page admin functions and editing.
The ability to create multiple portals on a single DNN instance.
If there's one area where has DNN fallen short, it's ecommerce. But now, thanks to Will Strohl and Hotcakes Commerce, even ecommerce is a pleasure with DNN!
The DNN framework allows us to create custom applications and experiences for a wide variety of use cases and customers with specific business problems. The huge benefits of using DNN that we've realized is the flexibility to create web solutions for just about every scenario you can think of.
I can do any web solution including extranet and intranet solutions. Since it is on top of Microsoft Technologies there are no limits in the customization of the solution at any level.
There are no barriers in the implementation of any UX.
The integration with Telerik is awesome.
It doesn't have advanced options to manage users and pages.
There is no way to share users and roles between portals.
The security and extensibility of the platform allows us to sell solutions build in DNN with confidence. From SMBs all the way up through enterprise level clients, I know that DNN will perform.
As easy as the DNN CMS is to use, the occasional small business still compares it to WordPress in ease-of-use (which is often spawned by their familiarity with WP).
We're able to confidently put solutions together in DNN for our clients that are reliable, easy-to-use, elegant, and which scale to whatever need they have.
Evoq Social, looks smooth and really easy to manage.
I've done an simple test and not really in deep. One think I noticed which should be improved is the API integration.
Create web platform for different company within different requirement, the main think customer ask is the analysis and reporting system, which I found here really good.
Support is very responsive and knowledgeable.
Installation and upgrade process seems a little to complicated compared to other content management systems.
Fluid/Responsive content and better options for layout. We hope to take advantage of the analytics dashboard as well.
"Could be great but it is not."
Overall features, good community, availability of modules and themes.
Performance and user experience. It's too slow and too difficult to manage for the end user.
I can cover almost all business scenarios.
"A grassroots developed CMS System with high security "
The website's security level of access is easy to use and administer.
It's not as easy as to use if you are a wiziwig user. You do need to have some technical skills.
Trying to run an eCommerce site is a bit difficult to use.
DotNetNuke is an excellent competitor to Joomla or Mambo (both typically run on non-Windows OS').
Because it is for Windows, you have less of a free community and more pay for everything (addons, etc.). You also have the overhead of the Windows OS on top of the CMS.
If you are a Windows shop, DotNetNuke is a great CMS, I would not recommend it unless you are a Windows shop, but I am biased towards Linux.

DUSTIN J. TRIMM, Petitioner, v. MICHAEL SHEAHAN, Respondent.
On or about July 7, 2014, petitioner Dustin J. Trimm filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in the Western District of New York. Dkt. No. 1, Petition ("Pet."). On July 15, 2014, the petition was transferred to this court. Dkt. No. 2, Decision and Order, Skretny, J. Petitioner is confined at the Great Meadow Correctional Facility and has paid the required filing fee. For the reasons that follow, this action is dismissed without prejudice.
In his petition, petitioner challenges a 2013 judgment of conviction in the St. Lawrence County Court, upon his guilty plea, of first degree manslaughter and related charges. Pet. at 2. He argues that his guilty plea was involuntary and was made without an understanding of the consequences (Grounds One and Three), and his conviction was obtained in violation of his right to equal protection (Ground Two). Pet. at 7-8. Petitioner states that he plans to present his claims to the Appellate Division in his direct appeal, and has counsel to represent him, but that his appeal has not yet been perfected. Id. at 3, 6, 8-9. For a complete statement of petitioner's claims, reference is made to the petition.
An application for a writ of habeas corpus may not be granted until a petitioner has exhausted all remedies available in state court unless "there is an absence of available State corrective process" or "circumstances exist that render such process ineffective to protect the rights of the applicant." 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (b)(1)(A), (B)(I), (ii). The exhaustion requirement "is principally designed to protect the state courts' role in the enforcement of federal law and prevent disruption of state judicial proceedings[.]" Jimenez v. Walker, 458 F.3d 130, 149 (2d Cir. 2006) (quoting Rose v. Lundy, 455 U.S. 509, 518 (1982)).
To satisfy the exhaustion requirement, a petitioner must do so both procedurally and substantively. Procedural exhaustion requires that a petitioner raise all claims in state court prior to raising them in a federal habeas corpus petition. Substantive exhaustion requires that a petitioner "fairly present" each claim for habeas relief in "each appropriate state court (including a state supreme court with powers of discretionary review), thereby alerting that court to the federal nature of the claim." Baldwin v. Reese, 541 U.S. 27, 29 (2004) (citations omitted); Fama v. Comm'r. of Corr. Servs., 235 F.3d 804, 808 (2d Cir. 2000). Finally, the petitioner must have used the proper procedural vehicle so that the state court may pass on the merits of petitioner's claims. Dean v. Smith, 753 F.2d 239, 241 (2d Cir. 1985); Barton v. Fillion, No. 9:03-CV-1377 (DNH/GJD), 2007 WL 3008167 at *5 (N.D.N.Y. Oct. 10, 2007).
In this case, exhaustion requirement has not been met because none of petitioner's claims have been presented to the state courts. Pet. at 3, 6. There is no basis on the record before this court to conclude that there is an absence of available State corrective process (e.g., where there is no further state proceeding for a petitioner to pursue) or circumstances exist that render that state court process ineffective to protect petitioner's rights (e.g. where further pursuit would be futile). 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1)(B)(I), (ii); Lurie v. Wittner, 228 F.3d 113, 124 (2d Cir. 2000). Petitioner has state court remedies available to him, and is in the process of exhausting those remedies by appealing his conviction with the assistance of appellate counsel. See Pet. at 8-9. It is not futile to require him to complete exhaustion of his state court remedies prior to pursuing a federal habeas petition.
Under the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ("AEDPA"), in certain circumstances, federal courts have discretion to review and deny on the merits any unexhausted claims that are "plainly meritless" (Rhines v. Weber, 544 U.S. 269, 277 (2005)) or "patently frivolous." McFadden v. Senkowski, 421 F. Supp. 2d 619, 621 (W.D.N.Y. 2006); Wheeler v. Phillips, No. 1:05-CV-4399, 2006 WL 2357973 at *5 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 15, 2006); 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(2). Stated another way, unexhausted claims may be reviewed on the merits only if the habeas court is going to deny the entire petition. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(2).
In sum, petitioner filed this federal habeas petition prematurely and it is therefore dismissed without prejudice to re-filing it in the appropriate district court once he has exhausted his state court remedies. See Diguglielmo v. Senkowski, 42 F. App'x. 492, 496 (2d Cir. 2002) ("[B]ecause the New York Court of Appeals has not yet had an opportunity to address DiGuglielmo's federal claims, comity requires that we allow that court an opportunity to do so. Accordingly, we dismiss DiGuglielmo's petition without prejudice. This will allow DiGuglielmo to pursue any procedural options available to him in New York state court, and then take whatever steps may be appropriate to return to federal court if necessary.") (footnote omitted); Nash v. Evans, No. 9:10-CV-0361 (GLS), 2010 WL 1423196 at *1 (N.D.N.Y. Apr. 9, 2010) (declining to review and deny unexhausted claims presented in the petitioner's petition, and dismissing habeas petition without prejudice where the claims were "presently awaiting appellate review[.]"); Foster v. Spitzer, No. 9:07-CV-0103, 2007 WL 1531904 at 1-2 (N.D.N.Y. Mar. 5, 2007) (habeas petition dismissed where petitioner was in the "preliminary stages of the appellate process" and had not yet completed state appellate review of his claims).
The timeliness of any subsequent habeas petition under the AEDPA appears not to be a concern in this case. Review of petitioner's claims in state court has not yet concluded, and thus the one-year statute of limitations during which to file a habeas petition has not begun to run. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1)(A)-(D); Foster v. Spitzer, No. 9:07-CV-0103 (LEK/DRH), 2007 WL 1531904 at *2 (N.D.N.Y. Mar. 5, 2007). Finally, if petitioner's claims are unsuccessful in state court, a subsequent habeas petition should not run afoul of the "second or successive petition" limitations because this petition is being dismissed for failure to exhaust and not on the merits. Burton v. Stewart, 549 U.S. 147, 155 (2007) (citing Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 478 (2000) ("[A] habeas petition which is filed after an initial petition was dismissed without adjudication on the merits for failure to exhaust state remedies is not a 'second or successive' petition" as that term is understood in the habeas corpus context.")).
Petitioner is advised that any renewed habeas petition must be accompanied by either the required filing fee ($5.00) or an application to proceed in forma pauperis that has been certified or signed by an appropriate prison official with regard to the balance, and average balance, in any account in petitioner's name at the facility. Rule 3(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts. To avoid any problems with the statute of limitations, petitioner should promptly file any renewed section 2254 habeas petition upon exhaustion of his state court remedies. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2).
ORDERED, that the Clerk serve a copy of this Decision and Order upon petitioner in accordance with the Local Rules. | 2019-04-20T18:50:08 | https://casetext.com/case/trimm-v-sheahan |
JOY. I love the word, it attracts me, it inspires me, it makes me feel happy. But what is Joy and what does it mean?
The Scriptures for Sunday are COVERED with the words, “Rejoice” so I wanted to speak with you a bit about what joy has to do with advent.
Gaudete Sunday is “Pink Sunday” (when we get to light the pink candle) which reminds us to rejoice and not lose hope that our waiting is almost done and Christ will come soon!
To really feel and experience advent and our waiting time, we must first remember the waiting of the Jewish people for their messiah. They waited for their savior for THOUSANDS of years, so Christmas time is not just a time for us Christians to wait for Christmas to come but it is a time where we re-member our Jewish history and foundation, we re-member the struggle to continue to hope for a savior, we re-member the endurance our Jewish brothers and sisters had in waiting for the words of the prophets like Isaiah to come true. So when the savior is born at Christmas, we celebrate, we rejoice in not only the birth of Christ, Jesus, but the fulfillment of the thousands of years of waiting, the fulfillment of a promise of a loving and faithful God.
You see, all of us are waiting for something. We are waiting for an answer about what to do with our lives, or how to live our lives. We are waiting to see if our loved ones will recover from sickness. We are waiting to find a job. We are waiting for our future spouse perhaps. We are waiting for God to show up in our lives. WE are all waiting for something.
So Advent is a time for us to celebrate the waiting, to wait together in hope, in peace, in joy and in love. And Christmas is an answer to the waiting. HE is the answer to our waiting.
The Responsorial Psalm for Mass is not taken from the Book of Psalms (like usual) this week, but taken from the Book of Luke. This is Mary’s response to the Angel Gabriel after he tells her of God’s plan for her to give birth to the Savior everyone’s been waiting for. Her response is the famous Maginificat, “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit REJOICES in God my Savior, for he is has looked with favor upon his lowly servant.” He has answered her prayer, and the prayer of his people.
What are you waiting for? What are you hoping for? This Sunday, lets rejoice in the confidence that God is faithful and remembers His promises. With the birth of Christ, we get what we have been waiting for.
Hello everyone! This is Stacy’s husband, Matt. I am the guest blogger for this week’s post. The focus of my post is the theme of forgiveness found in the Gospel reading for the Second Sunday of Advent.
In our reading, John the Baptist is baptizing people with a “baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.” He is doing this in order to prepare people for the coming of the Messiah. The Messiah, in the Jewish faith, is someone whom God has anointed (literally marked with oil) to restore Israel as a nation and bring peace and prosperity to it.
I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
How often do we feel unworthy of someone’s love or forgiveness? We may even think we are unlovable. But this could not be further from the truth! We are created in God’s image and likeness. This means that there is (and will always be) something about us that is good, loveable, worthy, no matter what we may do wrong.
But let’s go deeper. John the Baptist knows that forgiveness is the way to prepare people for the Messiah (Jesus’) coming. Why is this so? God who created us, scripture tells us, is the God of love and mercy. In order to encounter God, we have to be open to receiving him, especially his mercy. The greatest conversion—and the greatest of saints—began their life of holiness with a powerful encounter with God’s forgiveness. In other words, to become holy we must be open to receiving God’s mercy. Likewise, being holy is all about being merciful to others.
St. Joseph’s Parish, as well as the other Catholic parishes in town, have set aside evenings for the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, sometimes called “penance services.” If it’s been awhile since your last confession, take advantage of this great opportunity! I can tell you personally that this sacrament has made a huge difference in my life. It has helped me to believe in God’s love for me; and it has helped me to be more understanding and merciful to others, which is what holiness is all about. The Parish Penance Service is scheduled for Dec 20th from 6:30pm-8pm. IF that night doesnt work, Reconciliation is offered every Saturday from 3:45pm-4:30pm before Mass. | 2019-04-18T10:46:15 | https://stjosephignite.weebly.com/blog/archives/12-2017 |

Okkulto is back! My wife and my children are not amused at all. Since they saw him on TV, they hate him. (You have to know that I am a proud owner of the Desaster DVD "Desasterous Meeting"). But I do not care. I like his attitude. Without exception, he performed very well on the early outputs of the German black thrash institution. Therefore, it is good to know that he has returned after a long period of personnel reorientation. Better still, this EP is the first of a trilogy. Two further EPs are announced for 2015. But what does the here presented vinyl offer? Let us hear what the advertising claims. "Unchained from the crypts of Hades comes forth a metallic beast". Well, I really hate these trite slogans. I would use a much more fitting wording in order to describe this debut. I would say: "Unchained from the crypts of Hades comes forth a metallic beast". This is exactly the same? I am sorry about that, but these words really describe the four pieces in the best possible way.
Eurynomos does not score with unique features or innovative thoughts. The guys do not even try to hide their disinterest in previously unknown sounds. Instead, they brew a dark and poisonous mixture of blackened thrash metal while adding some mystic elements. Okkulto and Nimetön, the first drummer of Desaster, cannot renounce their musical roots. The four songs sound like early recordings of titanic bands such as Ketzer, Cruel Force or, of course, Desaster. In other words, Eurynomos combines the proven means of the subgenre in order to leave a lasting impression. Funeral bells and howling wind open the album. As soon as the guitar sets in, the band celebrates the triumph of evil. To put it less dramatically, the band presents galloping guitars, sharp (and simple) riffs and a small number of vile melodies. They are supported by an efficient rhythm section and crowned by the imperious voice of Okkulto. His raw vocals underline the intention of the band to become a serious challenger of Germany´s leading black thrash metal commanders.
In particular due to the unpolished underground sound, the vinyl spreads a mouldy smell. Broadly speaking, its visual design does not lie in close proximity to that of the outputs of Okkulto´s former group, but the atmospheric background image of the enclosed text sheet builds a bridge to his past. The lyrics are aligned with the general lyrical content of the subgenre. The band delivers what the listeners expect. Nevertheless, the four-piece scores with a surprising detail. It is amazing to realise that the guys are able to create catchy choruses without hurting the underground aura of the songs. The close intertwining of rawness and accessibility has yet to meet its match. No matter whether you listen to "Banshee Calling" or "Witchryder", both songs possess a chorus that you will keep in mind for a long time. What is more, "Banshee Calling" with its tribal drums at the beginning reminds me a bit of Venom´s "Domus Mundi", while the straight "Witchryder" appears as a close relative of Desaster´s "Sacrilege". Irrespective of this, both tracks stand on their own feet. The A side with the straightforward intro and the fast-paced title track does not pale in comparison with the songs of the B side.
All in all, for those of you who get euphoric while listening to compact, raw and pure metal songs that do not lack of power, straightness and atmosphere, the debut of Eurynomos will enrich your life. The conclusive overall concept is impressing. Instead of preserving the ashes, the guys keep the flame burning. Regardless of this situation, sound fetishists will hardly be able to enjoy the music. Quite the contrary, they will feel a spontaneous urge to leave the room. Worshippers of a technical, progressive or complex approach should also stay away from "Unchained from the Crypt". Unfortunately, the same applies for my wife and our children. | 2019-04-20T05:06:58 | https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Eurynomos/Unchained_from_the_Crypt/514514/ |
Nice to see some APA102 products as alternatives to WS2813.
I like my WS2813 leds, but they can be annoying to control by anything but microcontrollers and are kind of slow (the more leds the lower the amount of updates per seconds you can push through). APA102 are a nice alternative to them.
What really helps is that they are supported by the fastled library. So any project that uses Fastled for controlling can be converted to use APAs with just a few lines of code.
So i ordered 10 of these for a small project, while the first one I tried had a defect with a capacitor after the 5th LED. I tried resoldering the capacitor but that did not really work out. After that i took a closer look under the microscope where i saw a couple of soldering issues with some of the other sticks as well.
Nevertheless, playing with these is super easy and a ton of fun.
Recently I purchased a second batch of 3 sticks and all had LED's 6, 7, 8 non operational. I tested these against an older batch of 3 sticks I had purchased in the past, and all three of those work fine.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble! Please contact our technical support department and we can get those fixed for you.

The club was founded in1962, possibly August of that year. The land, originally a dairy farm owned by the VOLLBRECHT family became available upon the death of HERB VOLLBRECHT who bequeathed the land to his sister ANNIE BICK (nee VOLLBRECHT). Mrs Bick offered the land for sale and it was obtained by the club for development into what eventually became a nine hole course, initially there were only three holes available to players.
The course was designed by TOM SOUTHCOMBE, an ex-professional golfer and was officially opened on 10 November 1963.
Pictured here is the old farmhouse, destined to became the clubhouse which was opened on 28 April 1963. Extensions and alterations occurred over ensuing years but the main structure, shown on left of picture,was largely retained. The small centre section was demolished and the structure, far right of picture, was detached and relocated to it's current position between the 6th green and 7th tee. It now acts as a serviceable toilet facility for players and, with the addition of a secure compound affixed to the rear, doubles as a machinery storage area.
No further clubhouse extensions are planned at this time.

50th Anniversary celebrations were planned for 10 November 2012 and included a 4 Person Ambrose golf competition, to be sponsored by the Lodder Family. The event was named the Tim Lodder Memorial, recorded a morning field of 32 players and an afternoon field of 68 players. Unfortunately, due to wet weather the event had to be cancelled and the anniversary celebrations now centred around evening dinner, with entertainment provided by Rheanna Leschke and Band.
Members of the Lodder family devised a “phantom” 9 hole golf competition, proceeds of which helped recover revenue which would otherwise have been lost to the club as a result of the golf cancellation. All trophies provided by the Lodder family were awarded to winners in the “phantom” competition.

Two of our club members, Ron Roberts and Jeff Miles are off to China for the golfing trip of a lifetime in May 2013 after a second place finish at the Holden Scramble National Final held at Twin Waters Golf Club on the Sunshine Coast.
Ron and Jeff played in the Kooindah Waters team from the Central Coast of NSW. Ron's son Chad Roberts and his nephew Brad Roberts were the other team members.
Chad who is amember of Kooindah Waters and Ron have been contesting the Scramble there for the past 3 years. This year the team had player drop out and "Milesy" was on the plane with a days notice.

The following article reproduced with the kind permission of Gatton Star newspaper.
It was truly a master stroke for one Lowood couple, as they putted towards victory on the same day. Keen golfers Bill Daniel, 92 and Gertie Daniel, 86 teed off in their respective divisions for what they thought would be a normal day of golf , but some clean golfing saw the pair finish the course as winners.
Mr Daniel said it was a special feat for a couple to both win their golf divisions on the same day.
"I won the men's and she won the women's on the same day - it was quite a coincidence," Mr Daniel said. "It was unusual". Mr Daniel said he was lucky to win on the day, after being down a few strokes approaching the last hole. "I didn't think I was going to win because the person I was playing with, he was leading me by three strokes going into the last two holes," he said.
The couple only started playing golf when they were 50 but have worked hard to master the game since. "We probably started playing at about the age of 50," Mr Daniel said. "I played cricket before that and Gertie never played any sport and she just took up golf at that time".
Although they were both winners, Mr Daniel conceded his wife was the better golfer. "Gertie is a better golfer than me," he said. "We've done pretty well in our time. I've got two holes-in-one and Gertie has got four holes-in-one!"
Mr Daniel said they would continue to play golf for as long as they could and loved the social aspect of the game. "The experience and the company," he said. "The company is terrific. You can get friendly with everyone you play golf with".

On Wednesday and Thursday the 7th and 8th September 2016, three of our Committee members, namely Cedric Gleeson, Ron Mancktelow and Gerry Milady, competed in the John Deere Australasian Golf Championship event, held at Lakelands Golf Club on the Gold Coast.
This event has been run by John Deere for the past fourteen years, and is open to all golf clubs from around Australia and New Zealand, the final of which is held at various venues throughout Australia and New Zealand every year.
To qualify for this event, you have to first compete against other Golf Clubs within your region, and if you win that qualifying round, you are then invited by John Deere, to attend the final championship round, at whichever venue that they have selected for that year.
This year, our team from Lowood Golf Club, won the qualifying round, held at Middle Ridge Golf Course in Toowoomba, beating Middle Ridge Golf Club on a count back on the day.
Because there were more than twenty teams who competed in this qualifying round, John Deere invited two teams from this region, to play in the final round on the Gold Coast.
Our Lowood team performed very well on the day, finishing as runners up to the team from Auckland in New Zealand.
The winners will receive a Gator vehicle from John Deere, valued at $20,000-00 for their Club in Auckland, and as runners up, Lowood Golf Club receives $900-00 worth of vouchers, which can be used to purchase anything that we need for our Club.
To be eligible to play in this event, players must be a member of the ground staff at the Club, or on the Committee of the Club that they represent.
Congratulations to the Lowood team for their performance in this event, and they hope to go one better next year. | 2019-04-23T03:55:21 | http://lowoodgolfclub.com.au/club-history |
A fountain can add interest as well as peace and tranquility to an indoor space. Some people overlook the fact that there are more than a couple types of fountains.
The fountain manufacturing industry has evolved to now offer a wider range of fountain sizes, colors and styles. While the traditional fountains still exist, there are now both free standing and tabletop fountains, as well as wall fountains and bubble panel fountains available. Fountains can now be made from a variety of materials including different types of stone, composite, concrete, wood and glass. Modern indoor fountains can also include attached LED lights of different colors.
On top of the many available styles, there are numerous ways to customize your fountain so that it perfectly meets your preferences and needs.
You may be a little overwhelmed at how complicated your fountain selection process has suddenly gotten.
1.Determine what the purpose of the fountain will be. Will the fountain be the focal point of a room? Will it mainly be there to provide relaxation or be something visually stimulating?
People usually tend to select a fountain that either provides calmness with its trickling water or be visually interesting. Some fountains achieve both, but typically people buy fountains for one of the purposes.
Fountains are becoming popular for both private and personal use. Fountains are not limited to homes or business offices. They can be great additions for both. Fountains that are in offices will most likely be used for something interesting to look at or even serve as an alternative to a separation wall. Those who choose a fountain for their homes are more likely to get a fountain for relaxation.
2.Know where the fountain will be. Will the fountain be in the reception area of your business, in the middle of one large room to separate it into two different spaces, or will it be used to accent a hallway or foyer?
3.Measure the size of the space. Once you determine where the fountain will be placed, you then want to ensure your fountain will be a perfect fit for the space. It would look odd having a small fountain for a large space or a fountain that is too big, and therefore, too dominant in a small space.
4.Take note of the desired surroundings. What is the current décor, theme or feel of the room?
As mentioned earlier, fountains now come in a variety of colors, materials and designs. Make sure to look at fountains that complement the current feel of the space and its surrounding décor.
5.Have a budget. There are many fountain types out there including those with built in LED lights and those that combine artwork and premium craftsmanship. Some of these more deluxe fountains as well as larger fountains can have price tags that can easily exceed your budget. When it comes to buying a fountain, be firm about your budget. The chances are good that you’ll find a high-quality fountain at most price ranges.
A fountain is a significant investment that has many long-term benefits. Finding the perfect fountain may be harder than in the past with more types of fountains available. If you know the purpose of the fountain, the vibe of the space the fountain will go in and have a budget, the process of finding your ideal fountain will be easier.
Water Gallery is a premier fountain manufacturer and supplier of a wide variety of fountains.

Systematic Risks on TSE Horizon?
Movements on all fronts, be they social, political or economic, move stocks one way or another, ranging from slight tremors to shockwaves based on the development’s magnitude.
One might even say stocks are oversensitive to change. And with an inherent quality like that, working in the ever-changing landscape that is Iran might become a downright disquieting experience, especially when it comes to overarching political risks.
With this in mind, market regulators have recently come up with a scheme to protect the market and especially smaller-scale investors from crises and systematic risks.
The Capital Market Stabilization Fund was introduced on Tuesday by Economy Minister Masoud Karbasian and became operational on the same day. The idea was first introduced in 2014 as part of the legislation titled “Removal of impediments to competitive production and elevating the country’s financial system” that was implemented in June 2017.
According to Mohsen Khodabakhsh, Securities and Exchange Organization’s head of markets management, the fund will operate with an initial 3 trillion rials ($75 million) of capital acquired from the National Development Fund of Iran.
“Further funding will also be provided from a cut in the Securities and Exchange Organization’s commission on market transactions as well as 1% of NDFI’s annual revenues,” he added.
Khodabakhsh described the likely systematic risks where the fund will intervene as interest rate and inflation fluctuations, recession and war, Bourse24 reported.
He noted that “JCPOA is part of possible political [risks] that can affect the market, in which the fund will take action if needed”.
The official was referring to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the formal name of the deal Tehran reached with world powers in 2015 to resolve a longstanding dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.
Most of the sanctions imposed on Iran’s economy were lifted in January 2016 when the nuclear pact was implemented.
JCPOA potentially enabled Iran to reopen its economy to the world. However, with the US President Donald Trump’s fiery rhetoric toward the landmark deal, dark clouds of political risks are on the horizon for Iran’s business climate. And as the economy’s barometer, stocks will surely react.
The curious timing of getting the fund running just days before Trump’s Friday announcement regarding JCPOA seems to suggest SEO officials are bracing themselves for a market upheaval.
Or, the market’s possible downturn could have already happened, with losses spread over the last two weeks, while strong production data and a devaluing currency for H1 promised a strong third quarter for investors.
“The [Iranian capital] market usually reacts to events, whether positive or negative, before they happen, and the market has already lost some,” Sepeher Investment Bank’s corporate finance manager, Mohammad Semsari, told Financial Tribune in a telephone interview.
The analyst forecasts the next few months to be rife with political risks that, in an interesting twist, might boost export-oriented industries.
He emphasized that a weakening rial has already made exports more lucrative, and with the psychological effects in place, political risks will further affect the forex market.
Accordingly, other markets, including the capital market, will take cues from forex fluctuations, albeit with a certain lag.
“We have no idea what shares the fund’s assets will be made up of or what industries they will be targeting,” he said, adding that the best-case scenario would be that the fund functions as a cushioning force in case of crash and an accelerator at times of growth.
The commission earned from market transactions by SEO, TSE, IFB and all brokerages is set to be cut by 25%, 20%, 20% and 5% respectively as of Saturday, announced the chairman of Securities and Exchange Brokers Association, Rouhollah Sanei.
The new directive, announced on Wednesday by SEO, sets the commission rates for SEO at 0.0006, for TSE and IFB at 0.00064, and for brokers at 0.0076 of each transaction.
“The cut in commissions is expected to increase trade volume and market liquidity,” the official was quoted as saying by Securities and Exchange News Agency saying.
The cap for commissions on transactions has also been increased from 200 million rials ($5,000) to 300 million rials ($7,500).
Sanei emphasized that the reduced rates will not have an adverse financial effect on market regulators and brokers’ balance sheets, as coupled with the new regulations regarding the reopening of frozen shares, the firms will simply have more transactions to have a cut from.
The new regulations the official was pointing to were announced last week by Karbasian. They included opening all stocks’ tickers in 60 to 90 minutes after the SEO has received the required financial information, as well as keeping financially opaque firms’ shares closed for a maximum of 30 days.
Given the somber mood, Tehran Stock Exchange’s main index TEDPIX lost 685 points or 0.8% during the third week of the month that ended on Oct. 11 to close at 84,744.1.
The main index of the smaller over-the-counter exchange Iran Fara Bourse IFX shed 14.69 points or 1.5% during the week to end at 929.71.
Trading at Iran’s stock market starts on Saturday and ends on Wednesday.
Over 3.31 billion shares valued at $264.8 million were traded on TSE last week. The number of traded shares and trade value grew by 69% and 67.3% respectively.
TSE’s First Market Index shed 571 points or 0.96% to end at 58,548. The Second Market Index dropped by 1,020 points or 0.54% to close at 189,146.3.
At IFB, more than 1.44 billion securities valued at $298.2 million were traded. The number of traded shares grew by 77% while trade value dropped by 10%.
Its First Market witnessed the trading of 89 million securities valued at $3.75 million. About 597 million securities valued at $38.15 million were traded in the Second Market.
Over 9 million debt securities valued at $212 million were also traded at IFB.
However, in a combative stance, four new companies are gearing up to have their initial public offering on the equity market this week.
The first is the 7-trillion-rial ($175 million) South Kaveh Steel Company, which was listed on TSE last year but was unsuccessful in floating its shares. The steelmakers’ managers are set to hold a meeting today to work out the details of offering 10% or 700 million shares in “KVEH” this week.
Parsian Leasing Company is next. The 1.3-trillion-rial ($32.5 million) firm was listed on TSE back in March and will expectedly offer 10% or 130 million of its shares.
Atrin Nakh Qom, the 88th firm to be listed on IFB’s second market, has also announced it will offer 15% of its shares. The company has an initial market capitalization of 100 billion rials ($2.5 million).
A 10% stake in East Azarbaijan Pegah Company is also ready to be offered this week.
At the other end of the spectrum, the Italian Azimut Group signed an agreement on Monday to acquire a 20% stake in Mofid Entekhab, an asset management company in Iran.
Mofid Entekhab is a subsidiary of the Mofid Group, the largest brokerage firm and financial advisory in the country, reads the two companies’ joint press release.
Azimut, a €48 billion group headquartered in Milan, is the first global financial institution entering Iran with an equity investment in a company providing financial services licensed by the local regulator, Securities and Exchange Organization.
It is an Italian independent asset manager active since 1989 with offices in Italy, Luxembourg, Ireland, China (Hong Kong and Shanghai), Monaco, Switzerland, Taiwan, Brazil, Singapore, Mexico, Australia, Chile, US, UAE and Turkey.
“Today we are making a historical first step for a global player entering the Iranian financial market,” said Sergio Albarelli, CEO of Azimut Holding.
Mofid Entekhab is part of Iran’s privately-held Mofid Group, a holding company with $89 million in assets. Entekhab, the asset management business, was carved out of its Mofid Securities business last year.
Azimut will buy the stake through AZ International Holdings, its Luxembourg-based unit. Azimut and Mofid also plan to establish a fund, domiciled in Luxembourg, for foreign investors to invest in Iran.
“Our strategic goal is now to capitalize on our track record as the leading financial intermediary in Iran and create with Azimut a benchmark for the local asset management industry,” said Hamid Azarakhsh, chairman of Mofid Securities.
He said his clients “will be able to access a new suite of financial advisory and wealth management services in line with the highest international standards”.
The parties have ensured that the partnership will be compliant with economic sanctions requirements. | 2019-04-19T16:37:55 | https://financialtribune.com/articles/economy-business-and-markets/74095/systematic-risks-on-tse-horizon |
Sometimes they come to you, sometimes you have to chase them - you'll have to move swiftly and delicately to catch the best candidates in your net.
This guide discusses the difference between Passive and Active recruitment. These terms refer, not to the business need behind filling the role, but to the type of candidate you’re looking at.
Active recruitment targets candidates that are actively looking for a new job. They may be jobseekers or they may be in work but dissatisfied with their current role. Whatever the context – they want or need a new job.
Passive recruitment targets candidates who aren’t looking. They’re (almost certainly) in work and they’re probably happy with what they’re doing. You want them because of their skills and experience, but they don’t necessarily want to work for you… yet.
Passive recruitment requires a different initial style than what you may be used to. You are trying to entice them to a role, so your initial conversations will need to be about 20% more sales-y then normal. You need to spark their interest in both the role and your business. If you’re struggling to do that we’d recommend suspending hiring full stop until you’ve got it figured out.
The most important thing to determine at this early stage is chemistry. If you’re targeting them in the first place you’re probably sure that their experience or skills makes them right for the role. The work you would normally do further down the line has (in part) already been done. So what you need to determine now is – are they the right fit for your company? You want to learn this as soon as possible – there’s no reason pursuing them if they aren’t a good match.
During the initial stages you’ll have to be prepared to take it slow. Passive candidates are unlikely to want or be able to interview during work hours, so you’ll need to meet their requirements. And they could easily decide that they’re happy where they are, so don’t set your heart on anyone at this point.
Once they’ve passed the chemistry test, and you’ve confirmed they aren’t totally satisfied with their current employment, it’s time to discover what they want/need to be satisfied. Don’t beat around the bush. Ask them direct questions, and think of it the same way a candidate in an interview would: the more insightful and well-researched your questions are, the more impressive you (and by extension the role/business) will be.
By now your target is probably feeling pretty good about themselves! Everyone likes for other to take an interest, everyone likes to be complimented, everyone likes to feel desired. If you’ve decided that you’re truly interested be mindful that passive candidates can turn into active candidates very quickly – and active candidates might also look elsewhere for a new role (or realise they can push harder for promotion with their current employer). Reminding a fantastic professional that they want more from their career/should consider switching roles is great… unless they take that knowledge (and the work you’ve done to impart it) elsewhere.
The solution to this? Do your best to accurately gauge their buy-in and then GET IT CLOSED.
You already know that their experience and skills are right for the role. You’ve decided that they’re a cultural fit. If they are enthusiastic don’t sit on your hands. Escalate and nab the candidate you’ve wanted from the start.
In many ways active recruitment is more straightforward because candidates are actively pursuing roles – they probably want what you have, and it’s likely incumbent on them to move fast, which matches your needs. But for this section of the guide we’re going to assume your opinion of an active candidate is the same as the previously discussed passive candidate – you value their skills and experiences and they seem like a good cultural match. You might not have gone looking for them, but now you’ve found them, you want them.
Active candidates have time and money pressure to deal with, which might not always benefit you, especially if you’re slow moving. Great candidates may also be suffering from interview fatigue, and there’s little you can do to account for that. And, from a purely mercenary perspective, their price is likely to go up the longer you prevaricate.
So treat active candidates the same way you would late-stage passive candidates: keep the lines of communication open (in fact, giving out your personal details will make you stand out from other recruiting parties, if you’ve got a great candidate, consider it) and GET IT CLOSED.
Putting pressure on them is not the way to go, but there’s no harm in making it clear that other people are being interviewed. Be explicit about what the next steps are and be ready to close in the next round.
So, while active and passive candidate require different opening strategies, the onus is still on you to escalate effectively once you’ve found a professional you’re happy with. Be wary of assumptions. Active candidates won’t necessarily come to you (or at least, the best may not, and if you’re not chasing the best you aren’t doing your job properly). Passive candidates won’t necessarily wait around for you to get your ducks in a row. Active vs Passive recruitment is about the ways and manner that YOU communicate.
At Juggle we actually distinguish between candidates that are actively looking and those that will only be open to the perfect opportunity, so you can tailor your approach accordingly. Sign your business up today and begin hiring for flexibility, diversity and a better class of candidate. | 2019-04-22T16:17:32 | https://d1lu966krsixnw.cloudfront.net/business/2018/11/20/passive-vs-active-recruitment/ |
If you’ve got a case of the Mondays, have no fear, Olivia Munn is here and selling you beef jerky.
Fresh off her breakup with NFL star Aaron Rodgers, Munn is turning up the heat as a “Master Jerky Sommelier” for Chef’s Cut Real Jerky and is advising consumers to debag or else be a d-bag.
Yes, this is actually her pitch.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the term sommelier, it’s a waiter/waitress who is in charge of tending to and selling wines or who, more simply, is a wine steward.
Munn began her sell by saying that being a “Master Jerky Sommelier” is a calling, while holding up a bag of jerky to her ear and “listening” to it.
She just has so many thoughts about beef jerky.
Caught this guy creepin' on my #chefscut today… I know it's #NationalJerkyDay but I'm not sharing. Keep walking.
So, what else has Ms. Munn been up to lately? Munn in the sun. | 2019-04-19T09:19:23 | https://mandammit.com/babes/heat-seeking-celebs/olivia-munn-is-now-eating-beef-jerky-for-a-living-and-we-cant-look-away/ |

Ever wonder how that 65-year old looks decades younger than her biological age? Ever wonder how that 25-year looks ten years older? While some people have the assistance of botox and other other human-science-assisted age-defying treatments, those who age naturally and gracefully do so beyond the sunscreen-eat healthy-exercise regimen. (Note: it IS important to use sunscreen, eat healthy, and exercise to stay physically robust).
It is a mindset that allows some women to always seem 10 years younger than her peers. Instead of simply focusing on the physical, it is important for Career Girls to remember that the mind also is a powerful actor in the aging process.
Kids’ experiments don’t always pan out (Velveeta cheese melted on minute rice: not a good idea). Yet they learn by experimenting. People who “make it” (aka the inventor of the pet rock) often are just kids at heart trying different things out. Try letting go of prescribed ideas and notions and just experiment. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. But it just might.
Ever wonder how the Dalai Lama stays so young? The man laughs. He laughs a lot. It’s not that he doesn’t see the problems of the world – he just views them with an open heart and broader perspective. And he laughs. Rather than scowling (wrinkle in between your eyebrows) or frowning (wrinkles around your mouth), just start laughing. It’s contagious. | 2019-04-25T20:45:23 | http://careergirlnetwork.com/3-tips-to-staying-young/ |

Giant Concepts marketing and strategy consultants have been certified by the search engines to provide Pay-Per-Click consulting services.
A properly implemented campaign can greatly increase sales and lead generation with an ROI that rivals almost every other method of marketing.
For many companies, Pay-Per-Click marketing has become an important aspect of their overall online marketing strategies. PPC provides the opportunity to consistently drive targeted visitors from search engines to particular sites unlike any other Internet marketing methods.
In theory, as long as a company is willing to keep paying for traffic, then it should be relatively simple to utilize the management interfaces that each of the search engines offers with their service. In reality, the nuances associated with managing a profitable Pay-Per-Click program are considerably more complex.
Vast challenges originate from the fact there are so many different variables to be considered at all phases of a Pay-Per-Click advertising campaign. Engine selection is just one simple example. While Google may be the best source for an abundance of traffic, it’s quite possible that other engines may deliver quality visitors as well. Budgets need to be strategically managed and evaluated among search engines to deliver the best ROI.
Furthermore, a company that is willing to pay the most will not be assured of a top position in the Pay-Per-Click results. The paid search ranking algorithms have advanced to the point that factors other than a marketer’s willingness to pay enter into the equation and the results. Additional criteria include the click-thru rate of the ads and the quality of the landing page(s) that the traffic is being sent to.
Giant Concepts has been managing Pay-Per-Click campaigns for clients since the practice began in the late 1990’s. Our partnerships and levels of accreditation with the engines are among the highest in the industry.
Our Marketing Strategists and Campaign Managers are experts in Pay-Per-Click program management along with being Google AdWords Certified. They excel in their ability to understand clients’ objectives and create marketing strategies that achieve long-term profitability and sustainability. | 2019-04-19T21:09:10 | http://www.giantconcepts.com/solutions/paid-search-management/ |
The Program in Latino/a Studies in the Global South at Duke University (LSGS) invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship, renewable for a second year, to begin in August 2019.
We seek interdisciplinary scholars with a comparative, innovative, and transnational approach, grounded in U.S. Latina, Latino, and Latinx literary history. Research interests may include any––or a combination––of the following areas: the nineteenth-century translinguistic Americas; comparative U.S. literary history; Spanish as an “American” language; print culture and the global south; historical agency and memory; ethnoracial formations; gender and sexuality; citizenship; empire; migratory flows; hemispheric studies; and related topics. LSGS is particularly interested in scholars who move beyond traditional studies of communities bounded by a singular national origin.

Electronic evocations of a very cosmopolitan Argentine “Pampa”…A new original mix of Folclore, Tango inflections, jazz and contemporary influences from one of the most creative composers and multinstrumentalists of Buenos Aires – PEDRO MENENDEZ.
Appearing multiple times in SXSW as well as music festivals across the North and South America, Zona Tango showed Buenos Aires the new way to play electronico. Lead by fusion pioneer Pedro Menendez, the band proves itself to be one of the leaders of the new tango sound in Argentina by blending together electronics, tango, jazz, Argentine folk and bossa nova beyond any traditional limits..."
Wellknown as avant-gardist of the fusion style in his country, his own and personal composition style can be appreciated throughout his vast discography and a long career of national and international live performances in Argentina, Brazil, US, Canada & Europe.
ELECTRONICO, the Album, managed to create an alternative space inside the emerging electrotango genre by an unique eclectic and virtuous style that went beyond the simple fusion of modern tango and electronic sounds and added other elements like jazz and contemporary classical music.
In June 2006, BRAZILTANGO, the second discographic work of ZONA TANGO, brought to the world the innovative idea of blending two opposite styles. Nostalgia of Tango, Joy and Warmth of Bossa were divinely reflected in nine original compositions and two personal arrangements of the wellknown songs Adis Nonino (Astor Piazzolla) and Corcovado (Antonio Carlos Jobim).
"ELECTRO PAMPA" is one of the recents projects of ZONA TANGO. Their most experimental, meticulous and urban work. “Robotic evocations of a very cosmopolitan Argentine Pampa".. | 2019-04-22T19:19:27 | https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/zonatango6 |

I know we have many fans of Jessixa Bagley’s books around here (see this post and this one), so I’m thrilled to have Jessixa and her husband and collaborator Aaron Bagley visit us to chat about their recent book Vincent Comes Home (Roaring Brook Press)—and, well, lots of other good stuff.
LA: I imagine two creative people—with a young son for extra inspiration—pitching ideas to each other all day long. Yet this is your first book together. How did it come about?
JX—Aaron and I never stop talking (I’m sure that’s why our son is a chatterbox), but a lot of what we talk about centers around ideas and inspiration. I feel like I’m always throwing book ideas out to Aaron and he’s always working on a drawing or something. It’s just woven into our day in a very organic way. Vincent came about from a combination of the view from our apartment (we could see the barges coming and going), our cat Vincent, and a diorama we jointly made of a little garbage scow.
AARON—I liked the diorama so much I made a mini-comic about a stray cat who loves garbage. Later I worked it into a full picture book and Jessixa and I reworked it for Vincent Comes Home. The idea stuck because it was born out of our home, and cultivated together. It’s Aaron and Jessixa to the core.
LA: What’s it like working together?
JX—We’ve always made art together even when we were first dating so it’s very organic. Aaron proposed to me at our first joint art show that we had. We go through spurts of making our own art, then feeling the need to come together to make a joint project. We get anxious if we haven’t made something together after a while. And my favorite thing is that we actually work really well together. We don’t really argue or disagree—I know that’s not what people want to hear, but it’s genuinely true! The only times we really ever have disagreements with each other is when giving directions in the car. For me working with Aaron is great. He has amazing instincts, see things that I wouldn’t see, and he always teaches me by example to be free and less controlling in my work. He’s the Oscar to my Felix when it comes to art—in a good way!
For Vincent Comes Home, we made it how we make all of our art—we just trade back and forth. We both wrote the book and illustrated it in equal parts. The art was fun because we each only owned one or two things, purely for consistency sake (Aaron did all the sky and water and I did the Domus), but everything else we just would both work on. Each painting was penciled, inked, and water colored by both of us alternating elements. It oddly makes it more consistent that way.
AARON—We have different work habits. Jessixa works in the evening and I prefer mornings and afternoon. My palette is a mess and Jessixa’s is tidy. We both adapted to each other’s preferred methods – picking out the strengths in each person’s ways and going with that instead of letting our bad habits be obstacles.
LA: Jessixa, Vincent is your first book with humans in it. Do you two have preferences when it comes to featuring human vs. animal characters?
JX—I really love books with animals. I just respond to them more. Probably because I rarely ever saw characters that looked like me depicted in picture books when I was a kid. I connected more to animals because the focus on animal books is the content of their character and their experiences. Oddly, to me animals have more personality sometimes than people sometimes do! Plus they are pretty cute. So for Vincent Comes Home, I made Aaron take the lead on drawing the people. I was involved some, but they are mostly him. He loves drawing people and accentuating their weirdness. My next book though is all people! Ack! There is like a cow and some ducks and a hen as just decorative elements on a couple of pages, but other than that, it’s all kids! It was pretty daunting. I didn’t think I could do it. It took forever for me to get my style down. It’s called Henry and Bea and comes out fall 2019. I should have just had Aaron illustrate that one too. It would have saved me a lot of time!
LA: I have a couple of Vincents in my family, but it’s not a name you see often. How’d you choose it?
JX—Vincent is a great name! It was the name of our very beloved cat who was really more like a first child for us as a couple. We even occasionally dressed him in sweaters and Halloween Costumes. Yes, we were those people. Most people assume he’s named after Vincent Van Gogh because we are artists, but I actually named him after Vincent Price!
AARON—Even though our son’s name is Baxter I constantly call him “Vincent” by accident!
LA: The ending of Vincent made me choke up (as did Boats for Papa). Both books (and Before I Leave as well) explore ideas of home, family and longing. Tell us about that.
JX—I grew up with divorced parents from a young age, so day to day, my mom was raising me while my dad lived on the other side of the country. My father also passed away when I was 17. So absence has always been a part of my life. The feelings that go along with absence and loss shape you as a person so it’s very natural that those themes frequently come up for me in my storytelling. I will probably forever be trying to understand those themes.
AARON—We both moved around a lot as children, college students, and as a couple. It was clear after living together that home is wherever we happen to be as long as we are together.
LA: Speaking of home, your bio mentions living in a castle in the sky in Seattle. Sounds magical. Can you share any photos of your workspace?
AARON—Our apartment has a panoramic view of Seattle. It’s impossible to work anywhere else other than the dining room table because the view is so inspiring. There is a lot of movement outside our window (seaplanes, traffic, people walking dogs, murders of crows flying overhead, cyclists, clouds, birds, buses, neighbors, etc.), so it’s wonderful to pause and observe when stuck on a drawing or painting.
LA: All of your books to date have been published by Neal Porter. How did that collaboration come about? And do you expect to continue that relationship in his new home at Holiday House?
JX—I was lucky enough to be connected with Neal by my agent Alexandra Penfold. After meeting Alex at the New York SCBWI Conference 2013, she offered me representation and quickly sent Boats for Papa out for submission. Neal was interested in the book right away. I first talked to him when I was driving down to Portland a few days after our cat had died. Aaron and I were trying to have a grief getaway and I had scheduled a call with Neal to talk about the book. We had to pull over in a random town so I could take call in the car. Right from the start he was so kind and giving and fully appreciative of my vision. He didn’t want to change hardly anything—something that I was so grateful for. It showed he really I feel like whether you believe in fate or destiny or serendipity or whatever you want to call it, something special brought us together. He is more than an editor and publisher, he’s a friend. He doesn’t just care about our working relationship, he cares about my well being and that of my family. I feel so lucky, humbled, and grateful to work with him and know him. And fortunately, he likes working with me too! We are currently working on a couple of projects for Holiday House. I’m so excited for this new chapter!
LA: What’s up next for the two of you?
JX—Well I think we are at least working on one maybe two projects? I think there are others too… For sure we are working on a graphic novel together. It’s in the early stages, but we both independently have our own projects going on, so it’s a bit of a tennis match between things. I’m working on illustrating a chapter book for Chronicle A Girl, A Racoon, and the Midnight Moon, written by Karen Romano Young. I’m also in the early stages of working on a couple of picture books, and thinking about five other books I want to do! Needless to say I’ve got a lot of projects simmering on the stove.
AARON—For quite some time I’ve been chronicling my dreams in comic form. Seattlereviewofbooks.com has been publishing them online. I’ve picked up where I left off a couple years ago and plan to continue working indefinitely on this project. As long as I keep dreaming I’ll always have content!
LA: Best advice for aspiring picture book writers/illustrators?
JX—From my experience the most important things are: Be yourself, find your voice, and LOVE what you are doing so you never give up. It’s so easy to try and be someone you are not because you think that is what will get your book sold. But it’s the opposite. You are the only you out there and the world needs your voice, not another version of someone else’s. Kids especially can sniff out a fraud. It’s scary but it’s the only way to really make work that is worth the paper it’s on. Be brave. Be you and others will connect to what you are doing.
And if you don’t really love writing or illustrating, you aren’t going to make it. It’s a hard business because it requires a lot of work. You won’t be able to fight for it if you don’t really love it and then you’ll just end up disappointed. And if you love what you are doing, you will be happy even if you don’t achieve the success that you hope to have. The moment things changed for me was when I realized that I might never make it. I might never get published. Then I asked myself, if I never got published would I keep trying to make stories and books—without hesitation I said yes. Shortly after I got an agent and sold my first book.
LA: Any additional advice for people who want to collaborate with a friend, partner or family member—and maintain a happy, healthy relationship?
JX—Have a sense of humor and be open to change and criticism. Try not to get defensive—even if your partner is totally wrong. Ha ha.
AARON—Sense of humor definitely. Be patient. Collaboration takes longer most of the time, but the results can be better than anything one person can create. Hang in there even if it’s pretty awful at first.
LA: Excellent advice. Thank you, Jessixa and Aaron!

Thank you so much for this interview. Vincent Comes Home became my favorite book and my mentor text a few months ago. It has so much heart and says so much with so few words.
Thanks for sharing the background on this charming book, Jessixa and Aaron, and the peek at your work space and source of inspiration. Oddly enough, my daughter had a cat named Baxter who looked very similar to your Vincent.

There are many drawbacks of Coalition government but there is one enormous advantage.
At the next election – for the first time since World War II – the government will not be up for re-election. Neither of the two parties in the current government can run away from what the Coalition has achieved or failed to achieve but both parties can credibly say that people haven’t had a Conservative or Liberal Democrat government. As one of the two bigger parties in British politics this opportunity is obviously more important for the Conservatives than the Lib Dems. David Cameron will be able to appear before the British electorate and urge them to give him the chance to govern alone for the first time.
David Cameron’s team should prepare carefully for this coalition caterpillar to Tory butterfly moment. It is an opportunity for a fundamental relaunch. An opportunity to describe how a Conservative-only government will be superior to continuing coalition government and to the Labour alternative. The relaunch needs to convey strength. Strength to deliver the bold economic reforms Britain needs and strength to protect Britain’s social contract. Stronger than coalition government with all of its inherent tensions and stronger than a Labour government led by Ed Miliband. Getting this butterfly moment right – making it a big event – is huge for the Conservative chances at the next election.
The images in the opposite column illustrate how it might be done.
Modernisation is an ugly word in some Tory minds but any student of recent Tory election results cannot credibly argue that the Conservative Party doesn’t need to change. The real choice isn’t between those who want change and those who don’t but between different kinds of modernisers and the scale of modernisation that might still be necessary. This ConservativeHome Majority Project argues that modernisation is at best half done. We added 4% to our share of the vote at the last election and we need to add at least another 4% at the next in order to be sure of winning a majority.
We argue that modernisation up until now has had four serious flaws.
David Cameron got certain big calls right from the beginning of his leadership. The wisest decision was to convince voters that the NHS was as special to the Conservative Party as it was to the wider public. Some of us were wrong to believe that it was politically tenable to detoxify the party on the NHS without making the commitment that the David Cameron and George Osborne did make to maintain real spending on the Department of Health budget. But if Mr Cameron was right about the NHS he got one other big call very wrong. He and his strategists decided that the party’s problem was that it was too right-wing. In reality a lot more than half of the population hold so-called right-wing views on immigration, crime, Europe, tax and welfare.
Research by YouGov for Policy Exchange found that large majorities of voters in the North of England also hold very conservative views on these issues. The Tory problem – in the North and in other political battlegrounds - was and is different. We aren’t seen as too right-wing but, to put it crudely, too rich. We are seen by too many floating voters as a party of better off, successful people, in it for ourselves. Too many people thought we'd leave them - or people they worried about - on their own in tough times. This problem was not only not addressed during the 2005 to 2010 period it was made worse in some respects. We said quality of life rather than standard of living mattered most (fine to say if you have a high income).
We focused on impossible climate change goals with implications for the household electricity bill and the family's annual holiday in the sun. We opposed CCTV when people on crime-ridden estates saw it as part of the war on anti-social behaviour. The next phase of modernisation should be both blue (reasserting traditional Tory values more confidently) but also more blue collar (targeting tax cuts on the low-paid and focused on cost of living pressures).
We should have pursued a broad, balanced conservatism that took our core supporters with us as we added new floating voters. The party that will win the next election will walk and chew gum at the same time. It will be Eurosceptic and concerned about the local environment. It will be committed to border control and to the NHS. It will want to send more repeat offenders to jail and it will want to rehabilitate them while they are there. It will want to get able-bodied people off benefits altogether and increase benefits for low income pensioners. In other words the party that advances won't be focused on the centre ground but on the common ground. It won't be camped in the middle of the stage but hungrily, ambitiously camped right across it. The Cameroon modernisers consistently took our base voters for granted - ignoring warnings that they were doing so. The dangerous leakage to UKIP is the result. Cameron has divided the Right. If he doesn’t correct it, it could be his longest lasting legacy.
The modernisation that has been pursued has been shallow. Climate change was supposedly the greatest challenge of our age but since becoming Prime Minister David Cameron hasn’t made one speech on it. The NHS had, he said, had enough of top-down re-organisations but was then… top-down reorganised. There was a promise to deliver one-third of ministerial positions to women but instead some very average men have been kept on the frontbench while new talent is denied promotion. Gay marriage is announced but never fought for.
At the beginning of David Cameron’s time in office it was almost as if economics had been disinvented. Britain and the world were still enjoying the long boom. Gordon Brown even boasted that he had abolished boom and bust. The party was entirely focused on mending Britain’s ‘broken society’. When it came to the economy there were only two arguments. Argument one was about “sharing the proceeds of growth”. How much should go to tax cuts and how much to even higher spending. The second argument concerned the desirability of growth. David Cameron promoted General Well Being over GDP as a better way of thinking of progress. Once the financial crash happened in 2008 the Tory leadership was quick to lead the world in identifying excessive borrowing and debt as central political and economic issues. It is still unclear, however, whether the Tory leadership and centre right think tanks have made a bold enough leap towards the kind of wider new economic thinking that is necessary.
The next phase of modernisation needs to be at least as deep as that which went before but it also must be different. Focused on bold economic reforms. Focused on the striving classes. Focused on a fusion between the best of traditional and new Tory thinking. Focused on a long-term refashioning of the Tory brand rather than short-term positioning. | 2019-04-23T10:17:39 | http://www.strongandcompassionate.com/modernisation |

Note: The logo for Israel’s Ministry of Tourism shown at the right features Joshua and Caleb, the two faithful and courageous spies, carrying on a pole the fruits they brought back from the Promised Land. Joshua and Caleb are considered as the first ever tourists to Israel.
The story of Rahab the harlot and her great faith in the God of the Israelites gives her a place with those honored for their faith in Hebrews 11:31. Hers is a story of God’s grace to sinners and salvation by faith alone. Most importantly, by God’s grace she was in the Messianic line (Matthew 1:15).
One of the ceremonial rituals of Joshua 5 find its perfect fulfillment in the New Testament. Verses 1-9 describe God’s commandment that those who were born in the wilderness were to be circumcised when they came into the Promised Land. By so doing, God “rolled away the reproach of Egypt” from them, meaning that He cleansed them from the sins of their former life. Colossians 2:10-12 describes believers as having been circumcised in their hearts by Christ Himself, by whom we have put off the sinful nature of our former lives without Christ.
Joshua records the consummation of the redemption of Israel of Israel out of Egypt; for redemption has two parts: “out,” and “into” (Deuteronomy 6:23). The key-phrase is “Moses My servant is dead” (Joshua 1:2). Law, of which Moses is the representative, could never give a sinful people victory (Hebrews 7:19; Romans 6:14; 8:2-4).
The government, as before, was theocratic; Joshua succeeding Moses as the ruler under God.
2. The partition of the inheritance, 13-21.
4. Joshua's last counsels and death, 23, 24.
The events recorded in Joshua cover a period of 26 years (Ussher). | 2019-04-26T08:02:29 | https://baptist-distinctives.blogspot.com/2009/05/old-testament-survey-06-joshua.html |

NATURAL WELL-BEING : “There is nothing like our wellness center in the area, with all the elements we include. Our clients like the whole range of services we offer.” Owner Silvia Fedorcikova (center) of 4 Elements Wellness in the Princeton Shopping Center is shown with staff members Kate Raynor (left) and Christine Flanagan.
Earth, air, fire, and water! These elements are in full force at 4 Elements Wellness in the Princeton Shopping Center. This new wellness center offers an array of holistic therapeutic treatments.
“This is something I have a passion for,” explains owner Silvia Fedorcikova. “I love holistic and natural therapy. I had done research about innovative treatments, including cryotherapy, and I also learned about the upcoming industry in flotation.
She and her husband Stan opened the center last November, and 4 Elements Wellness is a new venture for them. They have owned Galaxy Tile of Princeton for the past five years, and before that, Silvia worked at Massage Therapy in Hillsborough, becoming general manager.
Several treatments are available at 4 Elements, all with a connection to earth, air, fire, and water.
Cryotherapy is the whole body use of extremely cold temperatures. Benefits are said to include reduced inflammation, pain relief, improved mobility, and faster recovery from injury. The process also may decrease cellular metabolism and increase cellular survival.
In the cold temperature, explains Fedorcikova, the blood vessels quickly constrict, forming a protective layer while the core body temperature is maintained. The process naturally stimulates blood circulation as the body’s hormone, immune, and nervous system are activated.
Local cryotherapy can also be used for accelerated healing of the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, back, legs, ankles, and feet. It is believed to be effective for acute and chronic conditions.
In addition, cryo facial therapy uses pressurized liquid nitrogen vapors which are applied to the face and neck to stimulate the production of collagen and decrease pore size. Cryo facials have been used to diminish blemishes and scars, speed healing, and improve skin conditions, such as rosacea and dermatitis. The skin can become tightened and more even-toned.
Flotation therapy provides ways to calm the mind and relax the body, points out Fedorcikova. The 4 Elements float room is an open tub, including 200 gallons of heated water, infused with approximately 900 pounds of pharmaceutical grade Epsom salt. The density of the salt water places the floater in an environment in which approximately 80 percent of the gravity usually experienced no longer affects the body.
An important benefit is stress reduction. As the effects of gravity are removed, the body can rest, recuperate, and heal.
Another treatment is Clearlight Infrared sauna. Its radiant heat penetrates deeply into the joints, muscles, and tissues, accelerating oxygen flow and increasing circulation, and it is completely safe, says Fedorcikova. It also helps to remove impurities from the cells, specifically cells in fat where the body stores waste and harmful toxins.
Celluma is a low level light therapy (LLT) device, designed to manage a variety of pain and skin conditions. Advanced technology provides three different wave lengths to work synergistically to treat different skin and muscle issues at varying depths, from the surface of the skin to the subcutaneous layer.
Another popular treatment at 4 Elements is halotherapy. Otherwise known as salt therapy, it is similar to spending time in the salt air at the beach. This offers many more benefits than just relaxing on the beach, reports Fedorcikova. She notes that there are thousands of salt rooms in Europe and elsewhere.
Salt levels affect cell activity, energy, and blood sugar levels, she notes. The negatively charged ions in salt improve health and mood. Regular and consistent halo- therapy helps to remove toxins from the lungs, increase oxygen intake, and boost energy levels. It is also said to improve skin elasticity, kill bacteria, and help to manage many skin conditions. In combination with a fitness routine, it improves oxygen circulation and increases an overall sense of well-being.
Treatment times vary, with several lasting a half hour or an hour. Full body cryotherapy sessions are three minutes and 10 to 15 minutes for local and facial therapy. All staff members have been trained in the correct procedures for the treatments.
Prices cover a wide range, from $30 to $80 a session, depending on the treatment. Special packages are offered, which include discounts, and gift cards are also available.
In addition, a variety of events are offered each month, including meditation and sound therapy sessions.
Assorted retail products are also popular with customers, notes Fedorcikova. Organic soap, bath salts, candles, hydrogen-infused water, Skinade, and other items are all in stock.
Hydrogen-infused water is believed to provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, relieve fatigue, boost energy, enhance circulation and cell function, and improve fitness performance and recovery.
Skinade is a special daily skincare beverage, which works from within to rebuild and strengthen collagen, boost natural levels of hydration, and help to reduce the appearance of final lines and wrinkles.
Silvia Fedorcikova explains that the benefits of the treatments and these products are typically seen after six to 12 sessions, and then a maintenance plan is recommended to ensure continued improvement.
Clients are men and women, and range in age from 13 to 80, she adds. They include people from Princeton and the area. She is pleased to introduce the 4 Elements concept to many clients who have been unfamiliar with most of the treatments.
For her part, Fedorcikova is eager to introduce even more people to the benefits of 4 Elements. “I love people. I love it when someone stops me in the supermarket and says, ‘Look, my arm doesn’t hurt anymore! I feel so much better.’ This is so rewarding.
4 Elements Wellness is open seven days: Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 9 to 6, and Sunday 9 to 4. (609) 285-3115. | 2019-04-22T14:01:30 | http://www.towntopics.com/wordpress/2018/06/20/4-elements-wellness-at-the-shopping-center-offers-variety-of-innovative-holistic-therapies/ |

If you’ve been reading here for a while, you’ll know that one of my childhood dreams was to write books. It took me until I was in my mid-to-late 40s, but when I held my first novel in my hands, I knew I was finally on my way to achieving that dream.
Two things made that possible. The first was a life-threatening illness and surgery. When I survived that surgery, I was determined to fulfill my dream, whatever it took (within reason). The other thing was that I reached a certain age, and when a lot of women reach that age, they decide not to worry about what others might think. They’re going to be themselves, without apology.
Late yesterday afternoon I put up a new page here on this site. If you go up to the top of the page on the screen, you’ll see ‘My Bookshelf.’ This includes a list of my books, blurbs, and links. My books! Plural! And another novel and a poetry collection or two are almost ready to add to the list.
I’m not the best marketer in the world for my own writing (I’m better for others’ work), so I struggled – a little – with whether to put up this new page. As I get older, though, I remember that childhood dream more and more vividly, I’m more and more determined to make it happen, and I’ve decided I’m not going to be shy about it or apologize.
So there you have it: ‘My Bookshelf’ is now ready for you to check it out.
Join me, then, and get your own books out! Don’t be shy. The world is waiting for your dream to come true.
… to think of your writer and reading friends, and yourself. Yes, I confess, this is one of those rare-but-occasional self-promotion posts I’ve written about elsewhere on this site, so if you’re not in the market for books, feel free to skip this post. I promise I won’t be offended.
For the writers in your life, check out A Short Guide to Hospitable Writing. Written as a companion to some of the earlier pages and blogs here at Magic Lamp, new and expanded material welcomes guests – our readers – into the ‘homes’ of our writing.
If you or loved ones are concerned about the environment, my first novel, Song of the Blessing Trees, has been called a modern take on the Exodus story. The Woods Clan relies on the wisdom and guidance of Old Grandmother from ancient Wales and the Chronicler, who lives in today’s New England, as they search for a new homeland that is safer from the environmental ravages in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries.
All of these books are available on Amazon.com and Kindle. I haven’t yet figured out how to include workable links (the last one I tried didn’t work), so look under the titles or ‘Eugenie R. Rayner’ as author.
You can also check out the books by other authors in the catalogue found at http://branchhillpublications.weebly.com. Novels, poetry, short stories, memoirs, and humor are all there for your reading pleasure, and they’re all also available through Amazon or Kindle.
Thank you, and many blessings! | 2019-04-25T23:57:41 | https://magiclampedits.wordpress.com/category/self-promotion/ |
Every person on the planet who is into healthy eating knows that regularly including broccoli in the diet is a wonderful idea. Baked, broiled, steamed, grilled, stir-fried or raw, there are so many ways to consume the said superfood. But did you know that it’s also something that you may enjoy in the form of chips?
If you cannot imagine turning broccoli into chips, that’s most likely it’s because you are picturing the florets. No, the florets are not the ones that can be turned into chips, but those stalks that you tend to throw away.
According to nutrition experts, the stalks are just as good for you as the florets themselves. Actually, they say that the stalks are slightly more nutritious than the florets because they tend to pack a little more fiber, iron, calcium and vitamin C. Just imagine how much nutrients are wasted whenever you dispose of the stalks!
But by turning those stalks into chips, nothing good for the health is flushed down the drain — you can supply your body with lots of health-giving nutrients in a really enjoyable and mouthwatering manner.
Just because you are serving broccoli for lunch or dinner doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to turn the stalks into chips right away. What you need to do if you’re not in the mood for chip making is stash those stalks in a Ziploc bag and keep them in the freezer where they can stay fresh until you’re ready to make chips out of them.
-Before you do anything, get your oven preheated to 350°F (175°C).
-Now reach for the broccoli stalks and wash them thoroughly under running water. Shake off excess water.
-Carefully slice the broccoli stalks into thin coins. The thinner you slice them, the crunchier the resulting chips will be. But make sure that you slice them up into coins with equal thickness.
-If you have a mandoline lying somewhere in your kitchen, feel free to use it. It will make the slicing task easier, and it will allow you to end up with chips with consistent thickness.
-Reach for baking sheet large enough to accommodate all the slices of broccoli stalks. Spread them across the baking sheet, making sure that everything is in a single layer only for even cooking.
-Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle a little sea salt and black pepper.
-Stash the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Halfway, carefully flip the coins over.
-Once cooked, place the baking sheet on a wire rack and allow your homemade broccoli stalk chips to cool completely. Afterwards, transfer to a serving plate and enjoy.
-Now do you believe that it’s so easy to turn those seemingly useless broccoli stalks into delicious and nutritious chips? The next time you make another batch, feel free to use any seasoning of your liking, be it onion salt, thyme, basil, paprika or cayenne pepper. You are only limited by your own imagination! | 2019-04-26T13:40:53 | https://www.wellnessbin.com/super-simple-recipe-broccoli-stalk-chips/ |
4.1 The prescribing information listed in Clause 4.2 must be provided in a clear and legible manner in all promotional material for a medicine except for abbreviated advertisements (see Clause 5).
The prescribing information must be positioned for ease of reference and must not be presented in a manner such that the reader has to turn the material round in order to read it, for example by providing it diagonally or around the page borders.
The prescribing information must form part of the promotional material and must not be separate from it.
the date the prescribing information was drawn up or last revised.
The information specified above in relation to dosage, method of use, adverse reactions, precautions and contraindications and any warning which is required to be included in advertisements, must be placed in such a position in the advertisement that its relationship to the claims and indications for the product can be appreciated by the reader.
4.3 In addition, the non-proprietary name of the medicine or a list of the active ingredients using approved names where such exist must appear immediately adjacent to the most prominent display of the brand name in bold type of a size such that a lower case ‘x’ is no less than 2mm in height or in type of such a size that the nonprprietary name or list of active ingredients occupies a total area no less than that taken up by the brand name.
by inclusion on the audio-visual recording or in the interactive data system itself.
When the prescribing information is included in an interactive data system instructions for accessing it must be clearly displayed.
4.5 In the case of audio material, ie material which consists of sound only, the prescribing information must be provided by way of a document which is made available to all persons to whom the material is played or sent.
4.6 In the case of promotional material included on the Internet, there must be a clear, prominent statement as to where the prescribing information can be found. In the case of an advertisement included in an independently produced electronic journal on the Internet, there must be a clear and prominent statement in the form of a direct link between the first page of the advertisement and the prescribing information.
The non-proprietary name of the medicine or the list of active ingredients, as required by Clause 4.3, must appear immediately adjacent to the brand name at its first appearance in a size such that the information is readily readable.
4.7 In the case of a journal advertisement where the prescribing information appears overleaf, at either the beginning or the end of the advertisement, a reference to where it can be found must appear on the outer edge of the other page of the advertisement in a type size such that a lower case ‘x’ is no less than 2mm in height.
4.8 In the case of printed promotional material consisting of more than four pages, a clear reference must be given to where the prescribing information can be found.
4.9 Promotional material other than advertisements appearing in professional publications must include the date on which the promotional material was drawn up or last revised.
4.10 All promotional material must include the prominent statement ‘Adverse events should be reported. Reporting forms and information can be found at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard. Adverse events should also be reported to [relevant pharmaceutical company]’.
4.11 When required by the licensing authority, all promotional material must show an inverted black equilateral triangle to denote that additional monitoring is required in relation to adverse reactions.
Each promotional item for a medicine must be able to stand alone. For example, when a ‘Dear Doctor’ letter on a medicine is sent in the same envelope as a brochure about the same medicine, each item has to include the prescribing information. It does not suffice to have the prescribing information on only one of the items. The inclusion of a summary of product characteristics moreover does not suffice to conform with the provisions of this clause.
The prescribing information must be consistent with the summary of product characteristics for the medicine.
emboldening headings and starting each section on a new line aids legibility.
All prescribing information must include the date that the prescribing information was drawn up or last revised.
In addition, promotional material (other than journal advertising) must include the date that the material as a whole, ie the copy plus the prescribing information, was drawn up or last revised.
The first part of an advertisement in an electronic journal, such as the banner, is often the only part of the advertisement that is seen by readers. It must therefore include a clear, prominent statement as to where the prescribing information can be found. This should be in the form of a direct link. The first part is often linked to other parts and in such circumstances the linked parts will be considered as one advertisement.
If the first part mentions the product name then this is the most prominent display of the brand name and the non-proprietary name of the medicine or a list of the active ingredients using approved names where such exist must appear immediately adjacent to the most prominent display of the brand name. The size must be such that the information is easily readable. If the product is one that is required to show an inverted black equilateral triangle on its promotional material then the black triangle symbol must also appear adjacent to the product name (see Clause 4.11). The size must be such that it is easily readable. The requirement of Clause 12.1 that promotional material and activities must not be disguised should also be borne in mind.
Where an advertisement relates to the merits of a device used for administering medicines, such as an inhaler, which is supplied containing a variety of medicines, the prescribing information for one only need be given if the advertisement makes no reference to any particular medicine.
Full prescribing information must, however, be included in relation to each particular medicine which is referred to.
The prescribing information for medicines promoted on posters and exhibition panels at meetings must either be provided on the posters or panels themselves or must be available at the company stand. If the prescribing information is made available at the company stand, this should be referred to on the posters or panels.
‘Immediately adjacent to…’ means immediately before, immediately after, immediately above or immediately below.
It should be noted that in a promotional letter the most prominent display of the brand name will usually be that in the letter itself, rather than that in prescribing information provided on the reverse of the letter.
Where prescribing information is shown in the audio-visual material as part of the recording, it must be of sufficient clarity and duration so that it is easily readable. The prescribing information must be an integral part of the advertisement and must appear with it. It is not acceptable for the advertisement and the prescribing information to be separated by any other material.
This is in addition to the requirement in Clause 4.2 that the date of the prescribing information be included.
A loose insert is not regarded for this purpose as appearing in the professional publication with which it is sent and must therefore bear the date on which it was drawn up or last revised.
A telephone number or email address for the relevant department of the company may be included. Text is more likely to be deemed to be prominent if it is presented in a larger type size than that used for the prescribing information.
no written explanation of the symbol is necessary.
Summaries of product characteristics and package leaflets are excluded from the definition of ‘promotion’ in the Code by Clause 1.2. However it should be noted that EU legislation now requires the black triangle symbol to appear on summaries of product characteristics and on package leaflets. The size of the black triangle on these documents has to be proportionate to the font size of the subsequent text with a minimum length of 5mm per side. The EU requirements do not apply to promotional material. Obligatory explanatory wording is also required. | 2019-04-19T21:16:14 | http://www.pmcpa.org.uk/thecode/InteractiveCode2014/Pages/clause4.aspx |
I just finished reading book 1 through 10 of AWLL. It was a great series, but it was filled with too much drama for my own personal taste. It would have been absolutely perfect for me if the protagonist got together with the girl he'd end up with in the first couple of books, and gone steady with her throughout the series. I like the slow pace, the dialogue, the setting of just everyday life, I like the conflict with his mother and brother, I liked basically everything except the romantic relations. It was too much drama in those parts for me, and too much "who's he going to end up with?". Alot of people like the tension of the unknown, I prefer stories where the protagonists and love interests are established early on. Something like in Beth, Runaway Train or some of Jay's other works, Ryan Sylander's books, Thunder and Lightening, etc etc.
So basically imagine AWLL, but most of the relationship drama is over and done with after the beginning, and the tension and drama for the rest of the book(s) comes from other aspects of life. It doesn't have to be a coming of age story, but I'd like something contemporary, so no western, fantasy/sci-fi etc though I could go for some urban fantasy or sci-fi so long it's not over the top.
I haven't read AWLL so I can't comment on your request but it's interesting for me to see you include Beth in the list of low drama stories because I gave up on the series when it devolved into that sort of relationship drama. Up until then it was a lot of fun.
To be honest I only read the first 3 stories in "Beth" and I don't recall them being particularly dramatic. I haven't read 4,5 and 6 because I just lost interest, found something else to read and have never gotten back to it. So it's possible that 4,5 or 6 has that drama, or that I'm just not remembering it from 1, 2 and 3, and from what I recall it didn't seem like it was heading into something like that either so I figured it was a decent example. Sad to see that it devolved into more drama.
Speaking as both a reader and a writer, it's hard to transition from a storyline where discovery and establishment of relationship is driving the plot, to one where it's the background to some other, non-relationship, conflict.
I just had to take a look. Beth 3 sees them as seniors in high school so it would have been book 4. I got part way through and just dropped it.
I can see that, but I'd prefer that establishment of the relationship isn't the driving thing behind the main plot in that case. I much prefer where the romance is supportive to deal with life, be it music in Runaway Train, a new start in life in Thunder and Lightening or baseball in Oh Boy, rather than the relationship being a source of conflict and drama in of itself.
That first paragraph would make a good review.
I recall a story with a high school couple who fall in love. The girl's parents build an apartment (over the garage?) for them to live in while they finish school. I don't remember much detail, but I don't recall relationship drama. Maybe someone with a better memory than mine recalls the name/more detail.
That looks potentially great, I'll check it out, thanks!
Thank you! Now I need to reread it to see if my recollections are accurate. | 2019-04-22T16:29:18 | https://storiesonline.net/d/s9/t4864/similar-to-a-well-lived |
Obama and Congress couldn't reach a deal to avert $85 billion in automatic spending cuts. Here's what that means.
It's really going to happen.
When President Obama kicked off his press conference late Friday morning by saying, "The good news is the American people are strong and they're resilient," you knew he was grasping at straws. The upshot is that some time Friday -- legally, it must happen by 11:59 p.m. -- Obama must sign an order putting automatic spending cuts into effect. How little chance is there for a deal? Well, the political Twittersphere is currently absorbed with this bizarre, disturbing story instead of even bothering to talk about it.
Here are all the questions you need answered about what happens next.
Weren't there Senate votes yesterday? And some sort of meeting today at the White House?
There were, and they all failed. Here's what happened. First, the Senate voted on a GOP plan that would have kept the first round of cuts, worth $85 billion, in place, but given Obama discretion on how to implement them, rather than using the across-the-board, blunt-object approach mandated by the original legislation. There were political risks and upsides to it: On the one hand, it would have meant cuts that were less "dumb," and the GOP could have attacked Obama's choice of cuts. On the other, it would have been an abdication of responsibility to the president, plus defense hawks feared Obama would mostly use it to cut Pentagon funding. In any case, it was defeated 38-62.
A Democratic bill that would have cut spending by $55 billion in defense and agricultural subsidies and raised $55 billion through tax increases garnered a majority but -- welcome to the new normal! -- didn't get the 60 votes needed to proceed. The White House meeting Friday morning also failed. House Speaker John Boehner won't agree to any package that increases revenue, and Obama won't agree to any package that doesn't include revenue.
So does the world end tomorrow?
Oh. Then why are we worried?
To be sure, bad stuff will start happening, just gradually. The cuts come half from the defense budget and half from a mix of mandatory programs like Social Security and Medicaid or discretionary funding. A few programs, like Medicare, are exempt. (Here's a 300-word explanation of which cuts go where; here's an exhaustive one.) There are two problems with this. One, specific things are going to be bad for specific people: The administration says as many as 750,000 jobs could be lost. Federal workers will be furloughed, which could affect any number of services -- though the most commonly mentioned ones are the prospect of longer airport security lines or reduced air-traffic control coverage. Of course, we'll really have to wait and see. Fiscal conservatives have accused the White House of fear-mongering in their description of how the cuts might affect individual Americans.
But economists agree about what the cuts will do in aggregate. They expect that spending reductions will harm the economic recovery, slowing growth by an estimated half of a percentage point in 2013.
And there's nothing we can do about this?
Theoretically, both sides could still reach a deal at any point and forestall whatever cuts haven't yet taken effect. But there's not much optimism about that right now. As demonstrated already, both sides have drawn lines in the sand that they swear they won't cross. Keep in mind, it's not a question of how many revenue cuts vs. how many spending cuts either side has to swallow; Republicans have ruled out any revenue cuts at all. As a result, it will take serious incentives -- either catastrophic repercussions of cuts, or else tremendous political pressure -- for one or both sides to give in. Polls already show Republicans losing on this issue, but some GOP lawmakers refuse on principle to raise more revenue. Others face tremendous pressure from interest groups or potential primary voters. They're hoping the politics change to favor them over time.
If you're going to be furloughed, you'll receive a notice. Those notices started going out Friday. But agencies are being cagey about when exactly the impact will come.
What if I'm not a federal employee?
My colleague Matt O'Brien has more details on the states that will be worst hit by military cuts. Hawaii, Alaska, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland lead the list.
Beyond that, there will be the reductions described above, which all citizens may encounter. The White House released detailed estimates of how the sequester will affect every state, which the Washington Post put in an excellent interactive form here.
I'm trying to look on the bright side. If Obama and Congress can reach a deal, we'll be in the clear, right?
Your optimism is impressive but futile. As Molly Ball predicted way back in early January, these crises will continue to define Obama's term. Later this month, Congress has to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government funded. If they don't, the government shuts down. And there's a pretty good chance that will happen -- at the very least, the negotiation is likely to go down to the wire. And then in May, the nation's likely to hit the debt ceiling again, which will probably result in frantic eleventh-hour negotiations.
Can't you give me anything to be happy about?
It's only one month until Opening Day, for what it's worth. | 2019-04-22T06:35:10 | https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/03/what-to-expect-when-youre-sequestering-a-guide-to-the-next-steps/273647/ |
Week Commencing 10th July 2017.
Bit of a rushed report this week, I’m away back to Norway to see if the Salmon have arrived yet.
Again the forecast was fairly accurate. The rain early in the week pushed up the river and there was a little turbidity, but nothing too bad. Next week things will change with some sunny and hot weather to start the week, with perhaps some rain mid week and towards the weekend. The tides start to build from Tuesday onwards.
Catches, things are a little quiet but this is not unexpected and the grilse runs are in decline.
Gordon Castle finished with 45 for the week. There was a Pacific Pink salmon caught from the Association water. Thanks to Ian tenant and his team for the pictures and also thanks to Tony Smith.
For what to do if you encounter a “pink” see here.
Orton had a quieter week than of late, with around half a dozen. Not even an engagement to write about.
Delfur, were into double figures.
Rothes, ended in the mid teens, with a few more lost.
Craigellachie were close to double figures, the mid week rise seemed to suit.
Jimmy Jack kindly sent me some pictures of his Lower Wester Elchies fishing.
Carron were into double figures, Ian Boathwick kindly sent me this picture.
Judy Bragg Carron, her first fish.
Laggan finished with five, Mrs. Anna (Coco) Barker showed her husband how it ought to be done. Giles Bovill fished better in the semi-dark than during the day.
Grantown were in double figures for salmon, the best a 15lb fish from Tarric mor. There were close to fifty sea trout landed landed including a couple over 7lb. There are well over two hundred sea trout landed this season.
Kinchurdy had over 30 sea trout and a couple of salmon.

Customer Feedback, Social and Business Research.
Five ways to mental wellbeing.
Connect with the people around you. With family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. At home, work, school or in your local community. Think of these as the cornerstones of your life and invest time in developing them. Building these connections will support and enrich you every day.
Go for a walk or run. Step outside. Cycle. Play a game. Garden. Dance. Exercising makes you feel good. Most importantly, discover a physical activity you enjoy; one that suits your level of mobility and fitness.
Be curious. Catch sight of the beautiful. Remark on the unusual. Notice the changing seasons. Savour the moment, whether you are walking to work, on a train, eating lunch or talking to friends. Be aware of the world around you and what you are feeling. Reflecting on your experiences will help you appreciate what matters to you.
Try something new. Rediscover an old interest. Sign up for that course. Take on a different responsibility at work. Fix a bike. Learn to play an instrument or how to cook your favourite food. Set a challenge you will enjoy achieving. Learning new things will make you more confident, as well as being fun to do.
There is a recognition that there is a limit to what government and policy makers can do. Only you can eat your 5 fruit and veg a day, and you are the best person to decide how best to support and improve your mental wellbeing.
We are not on our own with this. We are part of families, communities where we live and the communities that we choose to connect with. In addition many people have work colleagues. Giving has to be to someone else even if it is smiling at someone in the street or a corridor.
So as a start here is your homework 😉 what are you going to give, to whom and when. There is space for you to tell us all what you did and how it went.

The Alabama Crimson Tide are faced with a familiar task this offseason — reload after several players are off to the NFL Draft.
The Tide have churned out a number of talented players over the years, and the safety position is one of the best. From Landon Collins to Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to Eddie Jackson to this year’s Deionte Thompson and several others, coach Nick Saban seems to always send at least one talented safety to the draft per year.
Saban: "Depth at safety is an issue. We've got some guys coming in that are going to be able to contribute."
Xavier McKinney and Jared Mayden may end up getting the first cracks at the starting jobs, but 4-star incoming freshmen Jordan Battle and DeMarcco Hellams may end up getting long looks when they arrive on campus this summer.
If there’s one thing we can count on, though, it’s that Saban will find some guys to step in and that the Tide will once again have a stout defense. | 2019-04-25T18:06:28 | https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/alabama-football/nick-saban-names-one-position-where-depth-is-an-issue-for-alabama/ |

Everything is being automated to reduce overhead so why not your marketing efforts too?
All companies need to be agile to remain competitive. Automation has a strong potential to greatly increase agility because computers can be much faster than manual human actions in defined tasks. Marketing operations can be one of those defined tasks.
Companies are involved in marketing in some manner such as SEM/SEO or pay-per-click advertising. E-commerce sites routinely add and archive products. Automation has allowed those platforms to instantly create new pages for those products without requiring a webmaster to manually copy a template or create a new page thus marketing the product. But what about advertising?
Some platforms may have an integration with advertisers like Google Shopping. That’s a largely automated platform to take a list of products that the platform produces a feed for and effectively creates ads for them. A marketer doesn’t have to manually create a new ad for every new product and remove ads for archived products. Minor edits included.
Check out our article on how to implement Google Shopping with your E-commerce site.
However, not all e-commerce platforms have such an integration out of the box. Also, not all sites are exactly B2C e-commerce, may instead of have a stronger focus on B2B, or use multiple advertising platforms like LinkedIn. Automated platforms like Google Shopping may not be a potential fit and thus something more custom must be built.
Advertising might also be part of the naturally longer sales cycle for B2B. When receiving a lead, say via a sales contact form, that lead can be automatically integrated into several forms of automation. A common form is email automation, such as sending them a few case studies, to keep them engaged in your brand. Retargeting is another common form of marketing automation.
Another possibility is to collect their postal code and automatically create a branding display ad campaign targeting a radius around it to remain top of mind to them and other potential stakeholders as they move towards a decision. Maybe they included a company name, which can be automatically found on LinkedIn even if not exactly matched, then update your existing advertising campaign to include them in your LinkedIn account-based marketing.
By now your creativity might be flowing with an idea or step in the funnel that would be a good point to automate marketing in some manner. So what’s the next step? That depends on which platforms and what kind of automation idea you have.
For example, say you want to run the postal code radius idea. That can be as simple as using a location targeting data feed in Google AdWords that’s already tied to an existing campaign. All the automation part has to do is update that feed file and AdWords can now automatically import the new feed file and in turn the existing campaigns using it. In 30 days or however long the usual sales cycle is, have it then remove that postal code from the feed file so it’s no longer targeted. Minimal custom programming required. Nice!
What if you want to automatically adjust the bids for each of those postal codes depending on how long it’s been since their initial contact? Say $1.00/click for the first week, $0.80/click for the second week, and so on. That will require a bit more custom programming but depending on the volume and targeting could be worth it.
In that particular case you’ll likely need to use the ad network’s API. Google AdWords has an API and a simpler AdWords Scripts that allows you to run custom tasks on Google’s servers instead of having to host and maintain it yourself. However, if you’re looking to repeat the similar action on other platforms such as Facebook, you might be better off using the API integration to centralize the operation and maintenance.
Attire for specific occasions, such as Hawaiian shirts, can utilize other public event APIs like Facebook’s Graph API or Eventbrite’s API to routinely search for events matching keywords like “hawaiian” or “luau”. Automatically create search and display ads for a radius around the event’s location and stop the ads when the event is finished.
Stay on top of things and remain agile by having a simple aggregate report of different PPC channels emailed to you. Avoid having to manually log in and navigate each network and without having to task someone to manually create a report.
Some B2B companies might have sub-groups of customers they sell to like they’re B2C. You can automatically create a private Facebook Group when a new sub-group is created and invite those customers to join. When new products are added for that sub-group automatically post an update in the private Facebook Group. Exclusivity can have a significant role in marketing.
If using other offline marketing and advertising, compile a standardized schedule and automate online advertising to work in tandem with offline. This reduces overhead and also human-error from manually managing and keeping online campaigns in sync.
Utilize USPS API to automatically send a sales lead a mailer creative that thanks them for their interest. Combine that with a service that hand writes letters to produce the thank you note. Physical mail can be much more persistent in exposure than an email.
To some allowing a system to automatically run ads might feel daunting due to the potential to run up advertising spend in unforeseen ways. A middle ground approach could be instead to have the system assist the marketing team by automatically creating ads, targeting, etc. that the marketing team then manually enables or disables the generated ads.
Instead of taking action automation can help ensure that existing teams don’t miss certain areas that should be paid attention to. Automation doesn’t have to be fully autonomous but can still increase agility by being assistive. However, once that task becomes routine with enough experience consider allowing that task to be completely automated. Repeat for each task and eventually a majority of it is now automated.
We at Endertech have integrated with numerous APIs, including Google AdWords API, as well as proposing numerous ideas to our clients to assist with automation and reduce overhead. Contact us and let us propose an idea that could take your business to a new level with automation. | 2019-04-18T18:47:08 | https://endertech.com/blog/automate-your-marketing |
During a divorce, it is critical to protect your children’s future. This requires careful attention to child support arrangements. The divorce attorneys at McClure Law Group collaborate with parents and experts from a wide range of disciplines, to work toward a child support arrangement that will promote a strong future for your child. In addition to providing legal representation for an initial child support case, including at trial as necessary, our Dallas child support lawyers also can handle modification and enforcement matters.
All parents in Texas owe a legal duty to financially support their children, even if there is no court order in place to provide that support. During a divorce, the parents may try to negotiate child support, but if they cannot reach an acceptable agreement, the court will issue an order on the subject. Parents are defined in Texas as a child's biological mother and either a person who is presumed to be the child's other parent because they were married to the mother, someone who is legally determined to be the child's biological father, someone who signed an acknowledgement of paternity, or an adoptive mother or father.
Texas courts may order parents to support a child until they are 18 years old or they graduate from high school, whichever is later, until the child is emancipated by marrying or by a court order or another operation of law, or until the child dies. When a child is disabled under the applicable statute, child support may continue indefinitely. Usually, the noncustodial parent pays child support to the custodial parent.
Texas guidelines explain how child support should presumably be calculated, based on how much money the parent paying the support makes on a monthly basis, minus specified deductions. The guidelines cap the amount of monthly income that is the basis for these calculations. The court will look at the parent's gross income, including their salary, overtime, commissions, bonuses, tips, trust income, retirement income, rental income, royalty income, and other sources of funds. Child support will only apply up to that cap, and the court may order more as warranted only based on the child's proven needs. Parents may request adjustments.
Once the gross income is determined, certain items are deducted, such as Social Security income, federal income tax, and health insurance premiums when the paying parent already pays for these. This amount is divided by 12 to determine monthly net income. After the noncustodial parent's monthly income is established, it is multiplied by a percentage, based on the number of children who will be supported by the paying parent. For example, when there are two children, the monthly net income is multiplied by 25 percent.
After an initial order is in place, either parent may request a modification based on a material and substantial change of circumstances. Usually, the change of circumstances involves a change in income, additional children, changes to living arrangements, or a change in medical insurance coverage.
