Disclosures in the federal budget about excessive superannuation fund charges imposed on low income earners and younger members should be brought to the attention of commissioner Kenneth Hayne for further investigation.
Hayne should also have a look at insurance cover in super given that it is inappropriate for younger members with low balancesand multiple accounts to be paying life insurance premiums.
These two profitable areas of the retirement savings system have been in need of reform for years but vested interests have fought to keep the regulators and government at bay.
But on Tuesday night financial services minister Kelly O'Dwyer belled the cat on the fee gravy train earned from low income earners and also the unwarranted life insurance premium bonanza for the five companies that control 90 per cent of the $5.7 billion a year group life market.
It could be argued that measures introduced through O'Dwyer's portfolio will have a greater financial impact on a larger number of Australians than Treasurer Scott Morrison's tax cuts.
The first phase of Morrison's tax cuts helps 4.4 million Australians but the two main measures introduced by O'Dwyer will help at least 5 million people and have a lasting impact on their ability to boost the compound returns on their retirement savings.
O'Dwyer's main measures are a 3 per cent cap imposed on administration and investment fees on low balance accounts, a ban on exit fees when leaving a super fund, the introduction of opt-in insurance for low balance accounts, inactive accounts and the accounts of new members under 25.
As expected the leading companies in the group life insurance industry and their paid consultants have pushed back hard against the life insurance changes.
But Chanticleer wonders if this is because O'Dwyer's crack down could have serious implications for the complex and opaque financial engineering that underpins many group life schemes.
There is very little public disclosure of how group life schemes work apart from the evidence unearthed at a parliamentary joint committee inquiry into life insurance. But the majority of super fund members would have no idea about the way these schemes work.
The group life schemes involve intricate profit smoothing arrangements and the questionable movement of money backwards and forwards between super funds and suppliers of group life cover.
Chanticleer believes the schemes actually cannot be regarded as genuine insurance cover because the contractual arrangements between the funds and the life companies virtually guaranteed a set profit margin.
It is more than slightly bizarre that if the claims experience is worse than expected a fund will pay money to the group life company to cover the cost of that worsening in claims experience. If claims experience is better than expected, the group life insurer pays money back to the fund.
This leads to the creation of somewhat opaque insurance reserves, which are used to meet payments back to the group life insurer. Of course, this system may not work too well if all the younger members paying for insurance suddenly decide they no longer want to opt-in.
It is true that life insurance fulfils an important role in society by pooling the financial strength of many to cover the cost of unexpected events including death or permanent disability.
But it is inappropriate for younger super members to have insurance when they have no dependents, no mortgage and no contingent liabilities.
Their first priority ought to be maximising the amount of money in savings which can earn compound returns for retirement.
Insurance in super became automatic for super fund members after it was mandated as part of the MySuper changes introduced in 2013 by Bill Shorten when he was financial services minister.
Life insurance is worthy of investigation because it involves people being "sold" a financial product that is not suited to their circumstances.
The clear disconnection between life insurance in super and the insured members was summed up well by Treasurer Scott Morrison in his budget night speech.
"We will stop superannuation funds from forcing young people under 25 or with low balances to pay for life insurance policies they have not asked for or do not need," he said.
Paying for something you have not asked for or do not need has parallels with the fee-for-no service issues at AMP which were exposed at the Hayne inquiry.
Automatic life cover has been a bonanza for life companies partly because there are so many duplicated super accounts in Australia. Treasury estimates there are 9.5 million low balance accounts in Australia but about 3.5 million of these are duplicates.
On Wednesday TAL, which is the second largest provider of group life cover, said the carve-out of young people from insurance and the proposed changes to insurance for members with low balances will have a significant impact, particularly on those in higher risk occupations and those with below average salaries.
CELO Brett Clark said: "TAL is concerned about the proposal to change arrangements for insurance in superannuation from opt-out to opt-in for under 25s. For blue collar and higher risk occupations it is important that Australians have the appropriate level of insurance."
It was Clark who warned the Financial Services Council in April against pushing ahead with its plan to have an enforceable code of conduct in life insurance.
The FSC, led by Sally Loane, backed off after being told by Clark that he was worried that if the FSC went ahead with an enforceable code it would "fracture" the super industry.
O'Dwyer was extremely disappointed late last year when the industry decided on a voluntary code. It used the excuse that it had legal advice that such a code would conflict with the duties of super fund trustees.
Chanticleer understands the lobby groups and bodies representing industry super funds were very much against the implementation of an enforceable code.
It was very late in the 13-month long deliberations of the Insurance in Super Working Group (ISWG) that Industry Super Australia suddenly withdrew from the process.
A report prepared for the ISWG by KPMG, which was paid about $450,000 for its various consulting work found that low income earners, females and younger members could boost their retirement savings if they stopped paying insurance premiums.
"The key finding of this report is that income level has the largest effect on the impact of default insurance on retirement compared to age or gender," KMPG said.
"For example, the impact on the retirement savings for females aged 35 to 39 earning between $18,200 and $37,000 is 14 per cent, compared to 44 per cent for females of the same age earning less than $18,200."
The failure of the industry to agree on a sensible way forward caused the minister to act. It is a good example of action when it was needed.
Not only are low balance accounts paying for insurance they must pay very high fees for administration and investment. Treasury analysis released on Tuesday shows the median annual administration and investment fees on MySuper accounts with balances of $1000 are nine per cent of the balance.
It should not take Hayne long to conclude that these charges are over the top and fall well below community standards and expectations and are worthy of investigation. Fees of this kind would eat away at member balances until they disappeared.
O'Dwyer's move to cap administration fees on low balance accounts at three per cent is smart and long overdue. Latest data shows that there were around 13 million inactive super accounts or accounts with balances below $6000, which is about half of all the accounts in the super system. | 2019-04-23T09:57:32Z | https://www.plasticsinsurance.com.au/news/may-2018/federal-budget-2018-kenneth-hayne-should-probe-super-fees-insurance |
Canterbury School is celebrating National Arts in Education Week, Sept. 9 – 15! The US House of Representatives designated the second week in September as National Arts in Education Week in 2010, with the intent of showcasing the transformative power of the arts. They explained that the arts "equip students with a creative, competitive edge" and that "attracting and retaining the best teachers is vital and can be achieved by ensuring that schools embrace the arts, becoming havens for creativity and innovation"
Students from the Early Childhood, Lower School, Middle School and High School divisions will have artwork on display at the Arts United Center, which happily welcomes community members throughout the day.
Early Childhood students will experience a special classical music concert in Lily's Garden. Our very own Mr. and Mrs. Tan will perform with members from the Fort Wayne Philharmonic.
High School students will rehearse "Seussical: The Musical" in preparation for their performances on Oct. 26 and 27, which are both open to the public.
The Canterbury School Fine Arts Department has experience continued growth since 1977, when the school's founders recognized the arts as an essential part of a complete education. They believed in maximizing learning in and through the arts and set out to develop students with a lifelong appreciation for drama, visual art and music.
Over time, the Fine Arts Department has expanded from those three original offerings to also include dance, music technology, music theory and film. Collectively, these classes provide even greater opportunities for self-expression, cross-cultural understanding, confidence, creativity and discipline.
Thanks to the vision of these founders and support from current administration, our students have an extremely arts rich experience. Each week, our students study fine arts.
Middle School students take dance, dramatic oratory, drama, visual art and music, and they can choose to pursue electives like speech, film, 3D art, graphic design, band, chess, choir and orchestra.
High School students can choose among choir, band, orchestra, visual art, theatre, music technology, film, music theory and speech.
Learn more about the Canterbury School Fine Arts Department online, and help us celebrate National Arts in Education Week! | 2019-04-26T05:47:25Z | https://www.canterburyschool.org/news/post/~post/canterbury-school-celebrates-national-arts-in-education-week |
SAN DIEGO – After years of stagnant demand for widebody freighter conversions, 2016 saw the market suddenly bounce back. Last year, fourteen 767 P-to-F conversions were added to the global widebody freighter fleet (eleven 767-300BDSFs and three 767-300BCFs), and a similar number will be put into service in 2017. However, according to speakers on an appraiser’s panel at last week’s ISTAT Americas conference, this phenomenon is broadly viewed as a one-time event, supporting the ramp-up of Amazon’s Prime Air network, rather than the beginning of a widebody conversion renaissance.
“We are not going to see a lot of widebody conversions after Amazon,” said Douglas Kelly, SVP asset valuation at AVITAS Inc., as many of the carriers who previously would have found widebody conversions appealing, have disappeared. Since the 2008 recession, industry consolidation has significantly reduced the number of widebody freighter operators, from 95 in 2012, to just 75 in 2016. This, coupled with the proliferation of cargo-friendly widebody passenger aircraft like the 777-300ER, has reduced demand growth for freighters. Take last year for example, underlying air freight market growth was 3.8%, yet the global widebody freighter fleet expanded by less than 1%.
This is not to say that freighters no longer have a place – they certainly do. But most of the larger cargo carriers that remain in the market have better access to capital, and can achieve high utilization rates on long-haul intercontinental routes. Such utilization says Kelly, enables these carriers to justify the higher acquisition costs of new-build widebody freighters. FedEx and UPS for example, both operate large fleets of freighter-converted widebodies, but, in recent orders, have opted instead for new-build freighters.
Domestic routes do not see nearly the utilization, and thus freighter-converted 767s have found their sweet spot on routes where express operators can fill the cube. ATSG’s subsidiary airlines have long operated freighter-converted 767s for DHL within the United States in support of DHL’s international network. And now Amazon has placed its bet on converted 767s. As a result, nearly all of the redelivered 767 conversions in 2016 went into service for Amazon.
Still, there are hundreds of widebody freighters that will need to be replaced in the future (even if not on a 1:1 ratio), and a significant number of ageing widebody passenger aircraft. When asked if freighter conversion programs would emerge for airframes like the 777 as they have in the past for the 747 and A300, panelists were bearish, at least for the near-term. Operational comparisons with 777 new-build freighters aside, Stuart Rubin, Principal at ICF doubted the economic feasibility of a 777 conversions due to high feedstock acquisition costs. Lindsey Webster, director asset valuations, Morten Beyer & Agnew, agreed that, in the short term, the number of parked widebody freighters on the secondary market meant that 777-200LR conversions were unlikely.
In a few years, when an increasing number of 777-300ERs begin to reach retirement age, the market could potentially support conversion, but, in the near-term, panelists did not expect much beyond Prime Air’s 767 fleet build-up. Of course, Amazon could choose to add larger freighters once its new air hub in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky is operational, and UPS could replace its MD-11Fs with conversions rather than new-build freighters, but it is difficult to identify any other potential operators of freighter-converted widebodies.
Turning to China, the crystal ball becomes a bit murkier when attempting to forecast freighter demand. Tightly controlled airspace and restricted landing slots, paired with a pilot shortage, could force China’s burgeoning express market to favor larger widebodies. SF Express will take delivery of its fifth 767F this year, and is eager to continue growing. SF’s next steps will shed more light onto the viability of the 767F for domestic express service in China, but for now, the region could still become another hotspot for medium widebody freighters. | 2019-04-24T16:12:53Z | https://cargofacts.com/widebodies-less-likely-to-see-second-life-as-freighters/ |
Nottingham Forest left back Danny Fox has told the club’s official matchday magazine The Reds will be going all out to maintain their excellent City Ground form between now and the end of the season.
The Reds have one of the best home records in the Sky Bet Championship and will be hoping to preserve that when playoff hopefuls Wigan Athletic arrive this afternoon.
And Fox has stressed how important matches like this weekend’s will be in Forest’s fight for a Premier League place.
“We’ve set a target to win all our remaining home games and we firmly believe that will give us a chance of promotion,” says Fox in the latest edition of the magazine (£3). “The City Ground has been a fortress this season and we need to make sure that continues until May.
The latest edition also gives supporters the chance to weigh up The Reds’ opponents between now and the season with a rough guide to the run-in, while Carl Froch reveals when fans can expect news of the venue of his rematch with George Groves. | 2019-04-22T20:46:58Z | https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2014/march/win-your-home-games/ |

People with bad credit think that they do not qualify for good credit offers. It may be possible that they may have tried to get credit from a few lenders but when they failed to get them. Secured cards are quite suited for people with bad credit.
For secured card, one has to submit a security deposit, which guarantees you a line of credit for that amount. For instance, if you require a $700 line of credit, you have to deposit $7000 with the issuer, which immunizes your account. Since there is no much risk here for the card issues, there is more chance of the approving applications for people with bad credit or no credit.
You can use this secured card to make transactions, build credit like every other cardholder. This is in fact, a good opportunity for people to use the secured card wisely, restore and build credit. When you close the account, the security deposit is refunded sometimes with interest.
1. Capital One Secure MasterCard – The card has a low annual fee of $29 and can help people with bad credit come up in a big manner. Though most secured cards offer spending limit equivalent to the amount you deposit, this card is a hybrid between a regular credit card and secured card. This is preferred as one of the best choices for people to get back into the traditional system of credit. You have to put $49 and can get a credit line of $200. By depositing money like $200, you can actually increase the credit line to $3000. Capital One also ensures that one you have been able to improve your credit score, you will get preference to avail of one of its unsecured credit cards.
2.Wells Fargo Secured Visa – You can apply for this card only if you have been out of bankruptcy for one year and there are no liens unsettled against you. Your security deposit between $300 and $10,000 can set the credit limit. There is a $35 annual fee.
3.Orchard Bank Classic Card – HSBC’s subsidiary Orchard Bank says that all applicants who give a security deposit will be approved irrespective of credit score being dismal or if you have declared bankruptcy. There is a $200 minimum security deposit, with no annual fee for the first year and then $35 annual fee from the second year.
4.U.S. Bank Secured VISA – This bank diverts your security deposit into an interest-savings account with a $35 annual fee.
Getting small installment loans like an auto loan or a small personal loan (best from a credit union, or bank) to the tune of $1000 which you can pay back on time, can help rebuild your credit. Though you will have to cough up a higher interest rate, the fact that you have an active installment account on your credit report can boost your score. Also don’t close your credit account because they may hurt your score. Most importantly, pay your bill on time, all the time because skipped payments can only ruin all the good work you have done. | 2019-04-26T06:48:13Z | https://balancetransferpromotions.net/2012/10/ |

Some of the tears he whittles into fine points. Those are good for gouging out his eyes. Others he distills. At night, blind and drunk, he pretends he can’t feel a thing.
That's one of those exceptional fusions of idea and image that take your breath away. I will go on from here pretending that I thought it up! "At night, blind and drunk," indeed. Fabulous!
Wow! This one is a painfully powerful twist. “Some of the tears he whittles into fine points.” Amazing imagery.
Powerful imagery, Mr. Lucky. Inspiring.
Wowzers! That was so powerful! Thank you for sharing your work with us!
What draws me in most in this very powerful piece is the way the masculine is juxtaposed with the feminine. We first see emotion categorized by material production, violent physical action, war on oneself, an attempt to deny emotion–all things which tend to be associated with the masculine or animus. Then in the haiku, the feminine or anima begins to emerge, first in the form of a new moon, then the womblike void, then the all-powerful symbol of the cauldron itself. These seem to be separate at first glance. But then images begin to connect with one another–the chiseled slivers of tears with the sliver of moon, the blindness with the black, the distillation with the cauldron–until one feels a wholeness beginning to emerge from the brokenness. I love the way the title, which harkens to these soul processes we all must go through, both ties prose and haiku together and expands the piece beyond the sum of those parts.
I agree with Wow! And the description of grief as a cauldron . . . | 2019-04-26T14:07:53Z | https://tinywords.com/2018/12/07/28616/comment-page-1/ |
Other people usually are bound to leave their work just to attend to their family schedules and chores. Some of them also want to start another chapter of their lives. Whether you want to study at home and open your world to more opportunities, home study will be an effective tool to consider. This will also lead you to earning newer salaries in the end.
This question is already self-explanatory. You just have to fit it in your life and get the convenience and ease at it. Home study is also entirely about flexible learning and lets you work at any of your chores at home. You can also get access to trained tutors, expert knowledge, materials and support, live training and books. However, there will be no lectures or classes to attend.
Why Study at Your Home?
Other people do not have the extra time to enroll in a traditional college or school. This is simply because of the fact that they already have a family or a full-time job. By choosing this home study method, people will after benefiting from it. There are a lot of courses presented ranging in different scopes and subjects. There are also certain degrees in beauty therapy, dentistry and IT. There are also courses related to website development and flash animation that complement well to the interests and passions of people.
Will You Be Able to Obtain a Qualification?
When you study because you want your qualification to be recognized, this will surely appeal to all employers. And by the time that you have obtained your qualification, it can be a good and rewarding experience, too.
Will I Have the Opportunity to Earn a Lot of Money?
If you aim to enhance your earning skills and potentials, an IT-based course will help you further in regard with this matter. With an IT course that highly emphasizes technology skills; you can simply be on your way to earning more money along the way.
What Home Study Course to Choose?
You can also succeed from a home study course as long as you choose something that you most enjoy. It is strongly believed that an IT-based source is still a popular choice for those people interested in home study. This gives them the fullest earning potentials along the way. Better to consult a tutor and take a closer look at some of those job websites out there. They will simply serve as your inspiration.
You need to face the reality that home study can somehow be lonely. You will not have to enter a formal or traditional classroom. And thus, there will be no one to talk to and no one to instruct you about the things you should do.
But, you have to stick and commit to goal visualization. This is an essential key to the success of home study. Just imagine presenting yourself to a new employer with your new learned skill. You can be on your way to the road of success and achievements! | 2019-04-24T02:05:09Z | http://rotaryclubbocawest.com/home-study/ |
2018-12-26Our company is less than 1/10,000 business as compared with Nissan, but there are similar points in that things are decided without knowing even executives (laugh).

2018-12-14論文のテーマも興味深いが、それに加えて arXiv.org が "bibex" という引用・参照のネットワーク関係を表示するようになっている。https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.07366 We introduce a new family of deep neural network models. Instead of specifying a discrete sequence of hidden layers, we parameterize the derivative of the hidden state using a neural network. The output of the network is computed using a black-box differential equation solver. These continuous-depth models have constant memory cost, adapt their evaluation strategy to each input, and can explicitly trade numerical precision for speed. We demonstrate these properties in continuous-depth residual networks and continuous-time latent variable models. We also construct continuous normalizing flows, a generative model that can train by maximum likelihood, without partitioning or ordering the data dimensions. For training, we show how to scalably backpropagate through any ODE solver, without access to its internal operations. This allows end-to-end training of ODEs within larger models.

2018-12-03People tend to encourage for studying philosophy and they will support a campaign for an activity of "philosophy for everyone" or something else like this. But I have never heard of the reasonable argument for what is philosophy and what is it for, as a basis to do such things in the public occasion, events, lectures, classes, radio shows, and web pages. You will know well as a professional philosopher that any systematic and voluntary activity has a purpose, and they should have a purpose to spread philosophical activity for people from a reason or aim (not necessarily it would be only one.) Such a reason, if any, should be available for us not as a popular (and junk) book but as a document in an open access. | 2019-04-20T06:18:16Z | https://www.markupdancing.net/archive/message.html?archive=201812 |
Some time in eighth grade, my sister and I decided we would get matching heart tattoos on the left corner of our left wrists. I’m not sure when we decided this; there was never a definitive moment. However, I suspect it developed when we, and the rest our friends, were really into doodling all over our hands and arms.
I always drew three stars on my left wrist — a classic middle-school move — but I knew the permanent ink must be a heart. My sister and I are twins born on Valentine’s Day. It had to be honored.
Come mid-May our senior year of high school, we hopped into my mom’s minivan with our best friend and headed to a tattoo parlor on a Tuesday night. Clad in my American Red Cross sweatshirt and black yoga sweats, I walked into the tattoo and piercing place where my sister had gotten her belly button pierced just three years earlier.
But we had to leave. My sister and I didn’t have driver’s licenses at the time, and forgot to bring our birth certificates. It didn’t help that I had a young face either (and wet hair). Despite their condescension, the fact that they required ID was a good sign in retrospect. They were only following the rules.
We drove home and picked up our birth certificates. Then we headed to the other side of town to the tattoo parlor where my mom got her tattoo over a decade ago (Also a heart! But different.).
Because the tattoos were small and simple, the process was quick. I let my sister go first, as she is the older twin. She made some faces indicative of a little pain, but it really didn’t hurt her at all. And the same went for me. When the needle buzzed away at my skin, the area would go numb until the tattoo artist lifted it up again.
After cleanup, payment and care instructions, we walked out of the tattoo parlor, happy with our first ink.

New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) The Congress on Saturday demanded that the Narendra Modi government explain how absconding don Dawood Ibrahim’s wife managed to visit Mumbai last year undetected and said that it raises questions on the credibility of the Centre and Maharashtra government as well as the state and central security agencies.
Congress Rajya Sabha leader Rajiv Shukla termed the matter as very serious and said that it raises question on the credibility of the central and state government as well as the central investigative agencies.
“Dawood’s wife Mehajabin Shaikh came to India in 2016 for 15 days. What was Mumbai Police doing? What were the central and Maharashtra government doing? What were the other agencies doing?” he asked.
“It is a very serious issue. It is like ‘diya tale andhera’ (darkness under a lamp — or something taking place right under your nose). The state government, Mumbai Police and all the central agencies should answer how it happened, as it raises questions on their credibility,” he added. | 2019-04-18T20:56:09Z | http://www.newspatrolling.com/how-did-dawoods-wife-visit-mumbai-undetected-modi-government-should-answer-congress-lead/ |

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has approved a new federal standard intended to improve the safety of all high chairs, including those intended for both home and restaurant use.
The new federal safety standard incorporates the most recent voluntary standard developed by ASTM International (ASTM F404-18, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for High Chairs), with no modifications. The voluntary standard includes requirements for rearward stability and warning labels and requires that high chairs have a passive crotch restraint and a three-point restraint system.
Between January 2011 and September 2017, CPSC received a total of 1,842 incident reports related to high chairs, including 271 injuries. From 2015 through 2016, there were an estimated 18,500 high chair-related injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments, according to CPSC’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS).
Most of the incidents were due to falls when a child attempted to climb into or out of the high chair; when the chair tipped over as a child pushed back or rocked back and forth while seated in the high chair; or when a component (such as the restraint, tray, or lock) of the high chair failed.
The effective date for the new mandatory high chair standard is 12 months after the final rule is published in the Federal Register and applies to products manufactured or imported on or after that date.
The Commission is required by the Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act, Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. The Commission has approved new federal safety standards for several durable infant or toddler products, including full-size cribs, non-full-size cribs, play yards, baby walkers, baby bath seats, children’s portable bed rails, strollers, toddler beds, infant swings, handheld infant carriers, soft infant carriers, framed infant carriers, bassinets, cradles, portable hook-on chairs, infant sling carriers and infant bouncer seats.
The Commission voted unanimously (4-0) to approve the standard on June 8, 2018. | 2019-04-24T17:22:59Z | https://cpsc.gov/Newsroom/News-Releases/2018/CPSC-Approves-New-Federal-Safety-Standard-for-High-Chairs |

When you have a new multi use games area installed in surrounding areas, it is vital that you consider appropriate MUGA maintenance in Anderton CW9 6 to keep it in top condition for as long as possible. Each surface type can have different processes carried out which will help maintain the performance qualities and keep the sports area safe for use. Our sport surfacing company specialise in a range of cleaning, repair and general cleaning technniques https://www.muga.org.uk/cheshire/anderton/ Please contact our team today to find out more about what we can do and the costs for each cleaning method we offer. There are two main types of sport servicing services which we provide for sports surfacing facilities in the UK – Proactive and reactive servicing.
Reactive repair maintenance in Anderton CW9 6 takes place to repair damage which has already been done to the surface, this could have occurred as a result of overuse, vandalism or lack of an appropriate proactive care programme. Examples of reactive servicing can include seam and joint repairs, repainting and reline marking, as well as top up and rejuvenation of infill. Rejuvenating sand and rubber infill for synthetic grass MUGAs involves extracting the contaminated infill layer and replacing it with a new clean layer which will improve the performance qualities and make the surface more durable.
This is why we always recommend that you implement a regular plan once the pitch constrcution is complete https://www.muga.org.uk/construction/cheshire/anderton/ By doing this you will keep the facility near me clean and also help to prevent any damage which occurs as a result of debris and dirt on the floor. It is always much more cost effective to carry out routine checks and servicing than having to repair damage and problems after they have happened. All of the sport floor options we install are designed to be used in all weather conditions, it's vital that a regular plan is put into place to ensure that your closest sports facility maintains its all weather properties and is suitable for use all year round.
MUGA maintenance costs will depend on a variety of different factors. The first aspect which will affect the servicing costs in Anderton CW9 6 and surrounding areas, is the area size of the facility. Obviously if the area is larger, the cost to clean the court or pitch will be more. In order to keep the costs of maintaining the multi use games area down, we would recommend carrying out regular inspections of the facility.
When you require any professional advice with regards to servicing of multi use sports surfaces, we would be happy to help. By filling in the enquiry box on this page you can send us over a description of your enquiry and one of our experts in Anderton CW9 6 will get back to you with further details on how we can help. | 2019-04-19T19:20:27Z | https://www.muga.org.uk/maintenance/cheshire/anderton/ |

Between 1997 and 2002, as the number of farms declined in Massachusetts, so did the total land in agriculture. The total amount of land in farms decreased from 577,637 acres in 1997 to 518,570 acres in 2002. The average farm size in Massachusetts declined steadily from over 130 acres per farm in 1974 to 79 acres in 1997 (Figure 3.2). With the exit of many smaller farms between 1997 and 2002, the average farm size increased to 85 acres in 2002. The total amount of land in farms further decreased to 517,879 acres in 2007, a very small 0.13 percent decline when compared to 2002. However, the 2012 Census shows a modest increase in the total amount of land in farms, with a 1.1 percent increase to 523,517 acres. The increase in the number of farms and the increase in farm size seem to have occurred proportionally to one another; the average size of farm also remained at around 67 acres between 2007 and 2012.
In terms of farm numbers, the 2012 top three types of farming in Massachusetts are: horses and other equine production; hay farming; and greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture. However, which types of farming hold the greatest amounts of farmland? Open farmland is an important feature of the Massachusetts landscape. Hay farming is not only the second most common type of farming, but it holds the greatest amount of farmland with 116,980 acres, about 22 percent of the Commonwealth's farmland. Hay farms tend to be large by Massachusetts standards, with an average of about 107 acres per farm compared to the average Massachusetts farm, which is 67 acres in size. Fruit, tree nut and berry farms check in at number two, accounting for just over 80,568 acres of Massachusetts' farmland, 15.4 percent of the Commonwealth's total. Fruit and tree nut farms also tend to be relatively large by Massachusetts standards, there are about 103 acres per farm on average. When combined, these two types of farming represent about 38 percent of the state's farmland.
Dairy farming in Massachusetts accounts for more than 50,000 acres of farmland, about 9.6 percent of the total. Dairy farms are the Commonwealth's largest farms on average; each dairy farm is nearly 342 acres in size. Hay farming and dairy farming are related as hay farms provide forage for dairy farms as well as the horse farms in the state. Thus, the tenuous state of dairy farming in the Commonwealth has implications for the importance of farmland and open space preservation in Massachusetts. A number of farm types (sheep and goats; greenhouse, nursery and floriculture; beef cattle; horse and equine; other crop farming; and vegetable and melon farming) each represent between 25,000 and 43,000 acres of farmland. Each of these represents between 4.6 and 8.1 percent of the Commonwealth's total farmland. Horse and equine production, despite being one of the most numerous farm types, represents about 7.8 percent of the Commonwealth's total farmland with around 41,000 acres of Massachusetts farmland. | 2019-04-19T20:42:13Z | http://ag.umass.edu/resources/massachusetts-agricultural-data/acres-land-in-farms |

The United States is designating as a foreign terrorist organization the military force charged with zealously guarding and advancing the principles of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday that the designation against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — part of what he said is a “maximum pressure campaign” against Tehran — would go into effect in one week.
The IRGC includes the domestic-centered Basij militia, which has violently suppressed peaceful protests against the regime, and the Quds Force, which concentrates on operations abroad.
“This is the first time that the United States has designated a part of another government as an FTO. We’re doing it because the Iranian regime’s use of terrorism as a tool of statecraft makes it fundamentally different from any other government. This historic step will deprive the world’s leading state sponsor of terror the financial means to spread misery and death around the world,” Pompeo said at the State Department.
“The blood of the 603 American soldiers the Iranian regime has found to have killed in Iraq is on his hands and on the hands of the IRGC more broadly,” he said.
“A(nother) misguided election-eve gift to Netanyahu. A(nother) dangerous U.S. misadventure in the region,” Zarif added on Monday.
Pompeo dismissed Zarif’s reaction. “We have made clear both publicly and privately that an attack on the United States of America is something that they ought to think more than twice about,” he told reporters. | 2019-04-26T01:45:05Z | https://www.hstoday.us/subject-matter-areas/counterterrorism/none-of-us-should-be-fooled-islamic-revolutionary-guard-corps-designated-a-terrorist-organization/ |

As social media continues to explode as a marketing tool, limited-service restaurants will likely face even more decisions about how to spend their time and dollars in an effort to use special online deals to grab the attention and loyalty of customers.
Whether it’s the use of Facebook, Twitter, or other tools to drive fans to the restaurant or daily deal couponing via Groupon and LivingSocial, operators are continuing to see their social media options grow.
Back in 2004 I was the CIO for a nationwide automobile recycling company called Greenleaf (now LKQ) which would purchase cars with salvage titles at auto auctions, dismantle the cars and sell the parts. As you can imagine, the cars that we wanted to purchase were the ones with the largest number of usable, non damaged, parts that were in the greatest demand.
We had written an application that would scour our current inventory and identify parts that we deemed that we needed for each vehicle at auction and place a value on said vehicle based on what we thought we could sell the parts for minus transport and other overhead costs.
At the time, the existing technology was to use a ruggedized laptop where we entered in the usable parts for each vehicle at auction during the preview period and then would “sync” them at the end of the day to get the price we were willing to pay the next day at the auction.
These notebook PCs were bulky and heavy and often suffered from poor battery life, so it was not always convenient for buyers to drag them around to the auctions. As a result, auction preview information – such as year, make, model and condition of the vehicles for sale – being gathered by buyers wasn’t always captured electronically. Often times, the “buyers” as we called them would cowboy up and place a value on the car “based on their years of buying experience”. Well as you can imagine, that resulted in many bad buys for Greenleaf where we could not sell the parts for what we expected to, or they sat around in inventory for a very long time.
In order to find a solution to this problem, we spec’d out a wireless solution that would make it easier for the buyers to access the purchasing algorithm directly and in real-time via wireless PDAs (personal digital assistants) after looking at various tablet PC’s of that time. Evaluating the mobile devices and carriers was a huge task since in 2004 wireless broadband was not very prevalent. Each carrier that we used was different based on their coverage for that part of the country.
Additionally, different types of PDAs were involved, based on what that carrier supported. To ensure the application was device independent, we used the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit, which defines the framework and the user interface for a mobile Web application so that it will be compatible with any mobile device.
The biggest challenge to overcome, however, was coping with the PDA screen size, which is much smaller than on the notebook PCs the buyers had previously been using. In order not to degrade the user experience, some unique interface design effort was required to collapse the presentation screen size and re-map the information onto the smaller PDA screen – while ensuring that the most relevant data was readily available to the buyers. Even though the application functionality was the same as before, many of the buyers had never used handheld devices, and the smaller screens and stylus took some getting used to. Additionally, these devices were not the best performers in the direct sunlight of the car lots.
Why do I tell you all this? Because I almost look back daily since the advent of the iPad (and subsequently Android tablets) and think about how the iPhone/iPad was a revolution. The iPhone was a phone like no other when it came out and the iPad singlehandedly rescued an industry (tablet PCs) that had all but died.
If today we could have given the buyers access to the purchasing algorithm via an app written for an iOS or Android tablet using 3G or 4G…man oh man! With today’s tablets perfect size, perfect weight and perfect thickness on a screen as sharp and usable in sunlight as say a Super AMOLED screen we would have overcome all of the challenges I mentioned above and had virtually no issues with our buyers.
How about you, how are you taking advantage of mobile apps and tablet technology today to solve challenges in the Enterprise? | 2019-04-23T08:43:03Z | https://scottspiek.wordpress.com/2011/06/ |
This year I’m a Special Guest at CAKE and will be joining a panel (more info to come).
The new Pierre Feuille Ciseaux edition will be held right before the festival: For a whole week, 16 creators are bound to explore the gigantic territory of contemporary comics.
Anders will be joining Penelope Gazin, Gilbert Hernandez, Sammy Harkham and more at LA Comic Con - The Art Hole.
Join Anders Nilsen at Gosh Comics, Books in London for brief talk and signing from the second chapter of his new long-form comic Tongues.
Things get weird in these three new books. The last three citizens of a town populated by people with hereditary oddities face the last days of their community in Robert Hill’s The Remnants. The twelve stories in Alexandra Kleeman’s Intimations feature a room with no exit, an apocalypse of disappearance, and a house party wherein the key to survival is knowing the difference between fake and real blood. Anders Nilsen presents a fantastical view of primeval creation and a world void of humans in the illustrations of A Walk in Eden. Moderated by Amanda Nelson of Book Riot.
Advance tickets are $15 (day-of tickets $18) and include a wristband for all-day admission to the Portland Art Museum for the day. Attendees 17 and younger and anyone with a valid high school student ID attend the festival for FREE. | 2019-04-20T12:53:29Z | https://andersbrekhusnilsen.squarespace.com/events |

Cornerstone Research (in conjunction with the Stanford Securities Class Action Clearinghouse) has released its 2013 midyear report on federal securities class action filings.
(1) There were 74 filings, which was 16 percent higher than the second half of 2012 (but well below the historical average per six-month period). The increase is primarily the result of an increase in filings against technology and energy companies.
(2) Federal filings associated with M&A transactions remained at low levels. These actions now are being pursued primarily in state court.
(3) For filings in the years 2008 through 2010, a larger percentage of cases were dismissed than in prior years, with dismissal rates climbing significantly above 50%. One contributing factor, however, was the higher dismissal rates for M&A filings, which frequently were brought in federal court during this period.
(1) The number of accounting filings fell from 78 in 2011 to 45 in 2012. Two factors that contributed to this decline were the overall decrease in filings and the specific decrease in Chinese reverse merger cases (which frequently include accounting allegations).
(2) The proportion of accounting filings involving restatements (36%) and internal control weaknesses (67%) remained relatively constant.
(3) Accounting cases are less likely to be dismissed and more likely to settle than non-accounting cases. In 2012, accounting cases were less than 70% of the settled cases, but represented more than 90% of the total value of settlements.
(1) There were 53 settlements in 2012, involving $2.9 billion in total settlement funds. While the overall number of settlements represents a 14-year low, the total settlement funds increased by more than 100% from 2011. The increase in total settlement funds was due in large part to an increase in $100m+ settlements (accounting for nearly 75 percent of all settlement funds in 2012).
(2) The average reported settlement amount increased from $21.6 million (2011) to $54.7 million (2012). There also was a sharp increase in the median settlement amount from $5.9 million (2011) to $10.2 million (2012). The key factor identified by Cornerstone as responsible for the increase in settlement values was a spike in the median “estimated damages” associated with the settled cases (a significant portion of which were related to the credit crisis).
(3) More than 50% of the settled cases were accompanied by a derivative action filing, compared with a post-Reform Act average of 30%. The presence of a derivative action historically coincides with a higher settlement value for the related securities class action.
NERA Economic Consulting and Cornerstone Research (in conjunction with the Stanford Securities Class Action Clearinghouse) have released their 2012 annual reports on securities class action filings. As usual, the different methodologies employed by the two organizations have led to different numbers.
(1) NERA finds that there were 207 filings (compared with 225 filings in 2011), while Cornerstone finds that there were 152 filings (compared with 188 filings in 2011). NERA normally has a higher filings number due to its counting methodology (see footnote 2 of the NERA report). A key difference in 2012 is how Cornerstone and NERA counted M&A suits, with NERA reporting 53 M&A filings and Cornerstone reporting 13 M&A filings.
(2) The difference in the M&A filings count leads NERA and Cornerstone to markedly different conclusions about what happened last year. NERA finds that filings generally are holding steady, with the key difference being a decline in credit crisis filings (from 13 filings to 4 filings). In contrast, Cornerstone concludes that there has been a sharp decline in filing activity, led by the drop in M&A filings (from 43 filings to 13 filings), and that this decline has resulted in the second-lowest filing level in the past sixteen years.
(3) NERA and Cornerstone agree that filings in the Ninth Circuit were down nearly 50% as compared to 2011. Cornerstone attributes the change “largely” to a decline in M&A and Chinese reverse merger filings.
(4) NERA finds a sharp drop in the number of settlements. Only 93 securities class actions were settled in 2012 — a record low since 1996 and a 25% reduction as compared to 2011. Settlement values, however, were near their average level from recent years.
NERA Economic Consulting and Cornerstone Research (in conjunction with the Stanford Securities Class Action Clearinghouse) have released their 2012 midyear reports on securities class action filings. As usual, the different methodologies employed by the two organizations have led to different numbers, although they generally agree that the number of filings is holding steady.
(1) NERA counts 116 filings and Cornerstone counts 88 filings (NERA treats actions filed in different circuits, but against the same defendant, as separate filings – see FN 2 of the report). Cornerstone views this as a slight decrease in total filings, down 6 percent from both the first half and second half of 2011, while NERA finds it in line with historical averages.
(2) Both NERA and Cornerstone agree that there has been a decline in M&A-related filings and, correspondingly, an increase in “standard” misstatement cases alleging violations of Rule 10b-5, Section 11, and/or Section 12. According to NERA, there have been 83 “standard” filings in the first half of 2012. If that pace continues, it will lead to the most “standard” filings since 2008.
(3) The number of cases against foreign-domiciled companies is decreasing, largely due to a decline in Chinese reverse merger filings.
(4) NERA’s report contains an interesting analysis of the motions practice in securities class actions that were filed and settled between 2000 and 2012. The findings include that in 22% of cases where a motion to dismiss was filed, and in 46% of cases were a motion for class certification was filed, the cases were settled before the court issued a decision on the pending motion.
(5) NERA also examines the settlement activity so far this year and concludes (a) the overall number of settlements is lower than usual (a projected 98 settlements in 2012 vs. 123 settlements in 2011), but (b) the median settlement amount ($7.9 million) is about the same as last year and consistent with pre-credit crisis levels.
(1) There were 65 settlements in 2011, involving $1.4 billion in total settlement funds. These numbers represent a significant decline as compared to 2010 (86 settlements; $3.2 billion in funds) and are the lowest number of approved settlements and total settlement dollars in more than 10 years.
(2) The average reported settlement amount decreased from $36.3 million in 2010 to $21 million in 2011, substantially below the average of $55.2 million for all post-PSLRA settlements. Among the factors identified by Cornerstone as possibly responsible for the decrease are: (a) the overall drop in filings of traditional securities class actions that began in 2006; (b) a decline in very large settlements (only three over $100 million); (c) a lower average estimated damages in the settled cases; and (d) fewer cases involving accounting allegations or accompanied by SEC actions/derivative actions.
(3) Robbins Geller was the most active firm in 2011, having been involved in 35% of the settled cases.
NERA Economic Consulting and Cornerstone Research (in conjunction with the Stanford Securities Class Action Clearinghouse) have released their 2011 annual reports on securities class action filings.
(1) Cornerstone finds that there were 188 filings (compared with 176 filings in 2010), while NERA finds that there were 232 filings (compared with 241 filings in 2010). (For some insight on why NERA has a larger total, see footnote 2 of the NERA report, which discusses its counting methodology. Also, NERA’s report came out in December, requiring it to use a projected number for December’s total filings.) Both reports agree that cases against listed Chinese companies and M&A cases have driven a significant portion of the filing activity. Meanwhile, credit crisis cases have dwindled (Cornerstone – 3 filings; NERA – 11 filings).
(2) Cornerstone has an interesting new analysis on the probability of a securities class action advancing through different stages of litigation. The analysis, using filings from 1996 to 2011, finds that prior to the filing of a motion to dismiss, 9% of cases were voluntarily dismissed and 16% were settled. Of the remaining 75% of cases, 32% were dismissed, 35% were settled, and 8% reached a ruling on summary judgment or beyond. The report also breaks down these numbers by circuit and year.
(3) NERA provides some settlement statistics and finds that, even excluding large settlement outliers, there was a substantial decline in average settlement values — from $40 million in 2010 to $31 million in 2011. The median settlement value was $8.7 million, which was less than the 2010 all-time median settlement value of $11 million, but still the third highest on record. | 2019-04-25T21:54:42Z | https://10b5daily.com/category/lies-damn-lies-and-statistics/page/2/ |
New Yorkers voted for change this fall, and Democrats won upset victories and a historic majority in the State Senate.
But a group of rogue Democrats is discussing an alliance with Republicans in the State Senate that would squash the progressive agenda and keep Republicans in control.
And Gov. Cuomo? He's saying he "won't get involved."
Join us in calling on Gov. Cuomo to stand up for a Democratic Senate Majority that can pass the progressive agenda we voted for.
Please click here to email Governor Cuomo right away.
And scroll to the bottom for details about a series of upcoming rallies throughout the state.
The Governor says he stands for progressive values. He claims to support public financing of elections, raising the minimum wage, gun control and protecting women's health.
But Republicans in the State Senate have bottled up our issues for years, or even decades!
So now, when rogue Democrats are ready to join the Republicans and throw our progressive values under the bus, why is Governor Cuomo is willing to stand by and let it happen?
This is no time to stay out of the fray – if Gov. Cuomo truly shares our values, he's got to fight for them.

I really never had kissed a girl until I was 18. I put so much pressure on myself, that It could not happen, because of the Law of Attraction, (Back then I did not know about LOA, but I used to read Buddhist books). So once there was a summer festival in my little hometown. I made so much pressure on myself again, but I did not dare to speak to a girl, if I would, it never would have worked out, because of my Insecurities.
The suffering was so unbearable, that suddenly I changed my mind and said to myself: "Ok, I see I cannot force anything, I still love you. And if you stay without a girl for the rest of your life, that’s fine, I LOVE YOU."
Really the universe provides you with everything if you just GET OUT THE WAY!
Does the continuous vibration of love, appreciation sexiness etc. affect our bodies? Of course! It has to! How do Brad Pitt, George Clooney or Scarlett Johanson feel about themselves? Not hard to guess. | 2019-04-23T00:43:25Z | http://www.law-of-attraction-guide.com/attracting-girls.html |
Athlete's food is a fungal infection that tends to be found between the toes. It is highly contagious and spreads rapidly in warm and damp places such as swimming pool and gym dressing rooms. Symptoms include inflammation, itchiness, cracked skin, scaling and blisters.
Why does it flare up?
Since the fungus thrives in a warm, moist environment - we want to change that environment. This can be done by using a hair dryer! After a shower, dry your feet well by patting the areas (not rubbing) especially between the toes. Then take the hair dryer, and on medium heat dry the area of the feet and the areas between the toes, and also dry the tops and bottoms of the toes.
After drying thoroughly, spread some 100% pure virgin coconut oil (can find this in the oil section at the health food store) on the infected area of your feet. While you are at it, massage some of the oil on all of your feet and give yourself a quick Reflexology session by pressing and rubbing all the areas of your feet. Note: at room temperature the oil is in a solid form, so if it is cold you may need a spoon to scoop it out.
If you do this every day - you may even forget that you used to have intense itching! Please let me know if it works for you.

Regardless of whether you visit Amarillo for a great steak (the Big Texan Steak Ranch offers to pick up the tab for anyone who can finish a 72-ounce steak in one hour) or a quick high (helium is the second lightest element in the universe) or to simply stop and smell the roses, it’s a great place to enjoy some Texas hospitality. The folks are friendly and unpretentious, and life is laid back.
We rolled in close to 8 p.m. and were led to our campsite, where we set up for the night amid the sounds of planes (the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport is nearby), trains (the Fort Worth and Denver City Railroad contributed to the city’s growth) and automobiles. A ranch hand named Bill showed us one of the rustic cabins and explained how it was built on site. You never know where our dreams may lead.
Our doggies found not only relief but also a small measure of freedom at Kamp K9, a dog park feature at many KOAs. Confession: We failed to clean up after them. It was late, after all, and we were tired, and…well, OK, there’s no good excuse.
We had been saving Cliff’s exceptional pasta e fagioli soup for this special night, and it was well worth the wait. A little late night TV, a welcome shower and we soon fell into bed, exhausted but serene.

What started out as a simple drink at a local pub quickly spiraled into a whirlwind romance. Margaret and Brad became inseparable from that very first date, and after several years together decided to take the next step. They had just bought their first home as a couple, and it proved to be the perfect spot for their proposal and symbolic of their new life together.
Growing up in a "Disney Family", Margaret has visited the theme parks countless times growing up and still into adulthood. She visited Disney Aulani with her family during the early stages of her and Brad's relationship. During the whole trip, she wished Brad was there to experience Hawaii with her. When her family started planning their next trip to the islands during the same summer that the couple was planning their wedding, it was the perfect opportunity to have a wonderful destination wedding with a bit of Disney magic. | 2019-04-19T22:59:45Z | https://www.disneyweddings.com/ever-after-blog/aulani-wedding-spotlight-margaret-brad/ |
1. What is the transport protocol you use to call a Web service?
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is the preferred protocol.
2. True or False: A Web service can only be written in .NET?
3. What does WSDL stand for?
4. Where on the Internet would you look for Web services?
5. True or False: To test a Web service you must create a Windows application or Web application to consume this service?
False, the web service comes with a test page and it provides HTTP-GET method to test.
ViewState allows the state of objects (serializable) to be stored in a hidden field on the page. ViewState is transported to the client and back to the server, and is not stored on the server or any other external source. ViewState is used the retain the state of server-side objects between postabacks.
2. What is the lifespan for items stored in ViewState?
3. What does the “EnableViewState” property do? Why would I want it on or off?
It allows the page to save the users input on a form across postbacks. It saves the server-side values for a given control into ViewState, which is stored as a hidden value on the page before sending the page to the clients browser. When the page is posted back to the server the server control is recreated with the state stored in viewstate.
4. What are the different types of Session state management options available with ASP.NET?
ASP.NET provides In-Process and Out-of-Process state management. In-Process stores the session in memory on the web server. This requires the a “sticky-server” (or no load-balancing) so that the user is always reconnected to the same web server. Out-of-Process Session state management stores data in an external data source. The external data source may be either a SQL Server or a State Server service. Out-of-Process state management requires that all objects stored in session are serializable.
How to create a package for web application with components that shared with other applications?
Create a setup project which produces a .msi file.
2. Add AssemblyKeyFileAttribute to the assembly file and set it to the full name and path of the key file generated in step 1.
The setup program detects a strong named assembly and installs it into GAC on the client machine.
what is .net frame work?
.Net facilitates integration of code written for desktop applications with code written for web applications. It also facilitates creation of assemblies from code files written in different .net languages. It provides a common type system (CTS) for bringing data types of all languages on a common platform.
Simple answer to this is as follows Authentication is process of finding whether the user is valid.Example username and password u enter in mail page.That process is authentication Authorization is the process of holding rights for particular task.Example: Usually admin have right to install software in companies and others are not granted this right.
What is difference between Authentication and Authorization?
Assemblies are single deployable unit which consist of classes structures and interface.they consist of metadata which desrcibes assembly version ,name ,type etc. They are known as logical DLL’s .
panel are scrollable and in panels captions can not be displayed.
Asp is not compiled that is interperated where as ASP.net is compiled.
I found that there are numerous posts for Assemblies but none for giving out the difference between Panel and a Group Box. Although a Panel as well as the groupbox are almost the same there are minute differences.
In group box you can enter text while you cant do that in Panel.
In Panel you have got a built in support for scrollbars which is not available in case of group box.
What is the difference between excute query and excute nonquery.?
Whats the use of @ Register directives ?
Associates aliases with namespaces and class names for concise notation in custom server control syntax.
An alias to associate with a namespace.
An alias to associate with a class.
The namespace to associate with tagprefix.
The location (relative or absolute) of the declarative User Control file to associate with the tagprefix:tagname pair.
The assembly in which the namespace that you are associating with tagprefix resides.
Note The assembly name does not include a file name extension.
Yes, for this you have to use datatable and after inserting the first row in datatable u have to bind that datatable to the grid and next time , first u have to add the row in datatable and next bind it to datagrid. keep on doing.

Home>Supplements>Home Ownership>Homebuying: Move-In Ready or Fixer-Upper?
What if you’re buying a house for the first time, but can’t decide if it should be a brand-new (turn-key) house or a charming one with good bones that needs a lot of work?
Before you decide which kind of house you want, it’s always best to do your research, which will include the pros and cons of turn-key and fixer-upper properties.
Also, don’t forget about property taxes, because depending on where you choose to buy a home, the selection can have a significant impact on the cost to remodel compared to the cost of purchasing a newly-constructed home. Consider that the cost of purchasing a brand-new home can run thousands of dollars more than an older home just in need of some tender, loving care.
Overall, whether you move into turn-key home or the worst one on the block, it’s important to recognize which project provides the best fit for the buyer and their budget, and their expectations of the home.
• Lastly, because both fixer-uppers and move-in ready homes have their own unique benefits and challenges, it will ultimately be left up to the homebuyer to go with the choice that best aligns with their budget, needs, and long-term goals for their new home. | 2019-04-26T02:21:43Z | https://washingtoninformer.com/homebuying-move-in-ready-or-fixer-upper/ |

Don’t you worry if you think your blog is just new or if you only have a few content posted? Just maintain and update your blog regularly and traffic to your site will grow. Studies show that a 53% increase in traffic occur after 51 posts and could shoot up to 3 times as much after reaching the 100-post level and 4.5 times more after 200 posts.
It’s a good thing if you can generate tons of traffic to your site, but it would really be a great thing if you can convert them all into leads through business blogging. The important thing here is to provide your targeted audiences with high quality content that includes a compelling call-to-action that will entice your readers to become valuable business leads. Note that not all traffic can and will convert into leads so it’s important that you generate more traffic through regular blog posts.
The simple act of blogging at least once or twice a month can already generate up to 70% more leads than competitors who don’t have a business blog at all according to a HubSpot study. Other studies placed these figures at even higher levels of 126%, particularly true for small businesses with blogs as compared to those who do not blog. Still, you can generate up to 4 times more leads if you post regularly on your business blogs.
A website optimized for search engines can draw in highly targeted traffic that could later convert into leads or even sales. Business blogging plays an important part in boosting your SEO campaign for the simple fact that search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo love high quality original content that people actually do it – and will reward your site by placing it high in the ranking pedestals.
Boost your main website’s SEO with a business blog for studies show that doing so will get your pages indexed by up to 434% and generate indexed links by up to 97% more. More pages and links indexed by search engines gives you better chances of ranking higher in search results.
Business blogging generates more site visitors and more traffic generated means more chances of generating leads. More leads means greater possibilities of acquiring new customers. That’s how you benefit from business blogging which, according to a HubSpot survey, has benefited up to 60% of businesses with a blog. Why is this so? This is due to the high trust rate 81% of these consumers place on the information, tips and advice they get from their favorite business blogs.
Unlike in the old days where only large companies with the budget to invest on traditional media channels like television, newspapers and the radio, small businesses have a voice in the marketing world, small businesses can now compete and keep up through business blogging. With your own blog for sharing information and other relevant topics related to your products and services, small businesses can now have a voice that can actually engage in two-way communications with targeted audiences.
Studies show that business blogs can actually influence the purchasing decisions of consumers, with up to 61% of consumers in the United States making purchases based on information they received through a blog post. This is a high trust rate considering that up to 57% of online adults in the United States do read blogs. Within this group lies the 18-34 year old demographic where up to 80% have indicated that blogs proved influential in guiding them through making purchasing decisions.
Posting on a daily basis may mean a lot of work for a business owner, especially if he has to oversee other aspects of his business. A great thing with business blogging however is that it need not be a one-man show as you can your own staff and other members of your organization pitch in with creating content for your blog.
Just take HubSpot as an example. The company allows every team member to produce content for them, collectively generating 3 to 5 new posts each day. This is the main reason why HubSpot was twice awarded with the #1 Best Place to Work recognition by the Boston Business Journal, prompting none other than Google investing $32 million in this company – all because of their team-powered business blog.
Companies can provide valuable relevant information that their targeted audiences need through their business blogs. This can include simple tips articles to detailed instruction manuals that may prove valuable for your audiences. By providing your customers and other targeted audiences with valuable knowledge, you are on a strong path towards establishing a strong niche authority for your brand and business.
Developing yourself and your business as an authority or expert in your niche can open new doors that will further increase awareness and visibility for your brand and business. Journalists and other business bloggers looking up to you as an authority in your niche will quote your content, syndicate your content, or even perform live interviews with you sitting on the resource person’s chair. Such actions will provide your business with free PR that others will not easily get – even if they paid just to get one.
Establishing a business blog may seem like hard work for many, particularly if your site is just relatively new and you and your staff are still in the process of generating content. But once you’ve established the framework for your blog and generated enough posts, you will soon experience favorable long term results from all your efforts. A great thing about business blogging is the fact that older posts continue to generate traffic even if you’re produced these months or even years before. Studies show that 70% of blog traffic comes from posts published older than the current month.
These reasons, as well as a ton of others not mentioned here, prove the effectiveness of business blogging as a valuable digital marketing tool. So if you’re planning on starting your own business blog or have apprehensions in doing so, just check out these top 10 reasons – and be persuaded in starting your business blog… now! | 2019-04-19T20:40:12Z | http://digitalmarketingphilippines.com/top-10-reasons-to-do-business-blogging-infographic/ |

The maximum thermal performance or R-value of insulation is very dependent on proper installation. Homeowners can install some types of insulation -- notably blankets and materials that can be poured in place. Other types require professional installation. To evaluate blanket installation, you can measure batt thickness and check for gaps between batts as well as between batts and framing. In addition, inspect insulation for a tight fit around building components that penetrate the insulation, such as electrical boxes. To evaluate sprayed or blown-in types of insulation, measure the depth of the insulation and check for gaps in coverage.
We take that nasty looking attic and crawl space, clean it, remove & install insulation, get rid of pests & rodents which leaves you with cleaner air and peace of mind. (Learn More).
Radiant barriers are installed in homes -- usually in attics -- primarily to reduce summer heat gain and reduce cooling costs. The materials reflect radiation, and reduce the flow of heat.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality.
Really had a good experience with Attic Bros from start to finish. The estimator came out to our home after contacting him, provided a clear and very reasonable quote for insulation and a radiant barrier and also improved the air flow in the attic.
The estimator did a fantastic job at our home with radiant barrier, attic fans, attic entry tent zipper cover, and increasing the insulation height in our attic. Attic Bros was nearly $345 lower cost than the first estimate we got.

The concept of enjoying a leisurely meal in an establishment specifically devoted to preparing and serving food and ordering off of a menu is one that would have been quite foreign to our ancestors. In Europe, prior to the mid 18th century and even into the nineteenth century, dining outside of the home was regarded with great suspicion as the quality of food and the establishments in which one could eat were not held in high esteem. Dining outside of the home would typically only occur when a person was traveling and had no access to their own kitchen. The wealthy who traveled were more apt to have servants who carried quality foodstuffs and prepared it for them, or to stay in the homes of friends rather than eat at such establishments. There were indeed taverns or inns that provided accommodation and where food was served along with alcohol, but it was not always food of the highest quality, and the patrons of such establishments (thought to be drunkards and thieves) were looked upon with some trepidation as well.
The concept of having a number of dishes to choose from that we are familiar with today was not an option at such eating establishments; patrons sat at one large table at an appointed hour and the eating was family style (the earliest definition of table d’hôte) and would consist of whatever the owner cared to prepare. In many cases, these dishes had the potential to be leftovers and scraps of the most foul quality imaginable.
It was much the same in America. Taverns and boarding houses in the seventeenth and eighteenth century would have served primarily travelers, as there would have been little reason (or opportunity) for most Colonial Americans to eat outside of the home. And the food in such places, as in Europe, had little to recommend it. | 2019-04-20T19:04:41Z | http://digital.library.unlv.edu/index.php/collections/menus/history-restaurant-menus |

Few weaks ago we told you about Andreas Johnson performing new song "Idag Kommer Aldrig Igen" with Niklas Strömstedt at Nyhetsmorgon, nice stuff to listen once but not what we'd like to keep on replay due to live version.
Unexpectedly Niklas and Andreas has announced now they form duo Hagsätra Sport and "Idag Kommer Aldrig Igen" is going to be their debut single to be released on October 17th so we'v got a studio version that we liked more.
Track is still quite retro that sounds pretty surprising after latest Andreas Glorious-breathing pop-rock anthems and definitely it's Niklas' area but since Pernilla Andersson has fallen under our spot last Autumn we've felt nice vibes of her album "Ö" in this song, if you like her "Dansa med dig" and "Desperados" you will probably like this collaboration as well.
Yesterday band has performed the track on Världens barn concert live, check it below. | 2019-04-24T05:52:56Z | http://swedishstereo.blogspot.com/2011/10/hagsatra-sport-idag-kommer-aldrig-igen.html |

Articles Review - Journal of Psychosomatic Research - Articles on Primal Therapy by Arthur Janov, Ph.D. and E. Michael Holden, M.D.
These two articles are transcripted from a presentation made by Drs. Janov and Holden in England. Accompanying the lectures were many charts and photographs. The lectures were made after the publication of Janov's Primal Man - The New Consciousness and are an excellent synopsis of their book.
Janov explained that all of us we born with giant NEEDS and when these critical needs are not met we become in a state of PAIN. The automatic mechanism of repression then shuts off perception of the pain as well as the original need. This state of being is experienced as TENSION and NEUROSIS is thus developed. A faulty neurosis can result in a PSYCHOSIS.
Dr. Janov mentioned that new-born babies have an unmistakable cry and that the cry is heard during primals of patients reliving their births. The cry cannot be duplicated even by a patient who has made the cry previously. He emphasized the necessity of dealing directly with the actual source of neurosis and psychosomatic disease which are permanently encoded in the brain. Techniques which do not involve the actual access to these stored memories and pain, he said, are merely palliative and do not cure the problem.
He ended his discussion by emphasizing that the methodical approach to accessing trauma is best and believes that going directly to birth feelings right away can be dangerous since "the patient is flooded with pain instead of integrating small pains at a time over many, many months."
In the Chapter entitled Primal Psychophysiology Neurologist E. Michael Holden, writes that ". . . psychosomatic illnesses are the direct result of unintegrated pain from childhood." When the presentation was given he was the medical director of the Primal Institute.
In the second part of his presentation, Dr. Holden summarizes five interesting case studies illustrating how psychosomatic diseases have their origin in our earlier life.
The first case he discusses was of a man who had a heart attack and afterwards suffered from angina after exercise. A treadmill test (with EKG) resulted in severe shortness of breath and left arm heaviness. After primal therapy he no longer had these symptoms except when he puts off having a primal feeling. A repetition of the treadmill test showed that his cardiac reserve had increased.
The second case study was of a male primal patient who had episodes of unexplained vomiting as an infant. During his early teen years he developed mucous colitis, which symptom continued to be triggered under severe emotional stress. After primal therapy he was able to discontinue all medications and developed the colitis only when he needed to primal. In primals he was able to hook up the second line cause of his disease to a fear of his father who used to beat him unmercifully.
Another case study dealt with an asthmatic man who developed his symptoms at age two. He noticed in therapy that the primal was able to eliminate the asthma even more quickly than the medication he was taking. When he has an attack of asthma he was able to almost instanteously resolve the attack by primalling.
The fourth case was of a man who suffered from migraine headaches with nausea. When the patient allowed himself to relive his birth feelings in primals the migraine headaches resolved themselves between ten and fifteen minutes. The number of migraine headaches he had after therapy were greatly reduced and when he has an attack he is able to resolve it quickly.
The last case discussed involved a man with severe high blood pressure. Like the other case studies he was able to reduce his symptom by primalling. Interestingly, he noticed that when he becomes depressed and is able to cry his blood pressure is normal. When the depression lifts he is no longer aware of the need to primal but his hypertension had become higher. Dr. Holden writes: "Here we see an exchange between a symptom existing when awareness of suffering is slight, and the absence of the symptom when suffering and reactivity to Pain are great."
In discussing the general implications and principles illustrated, Holden mentioned that psychosomatic symptoms occur in those who do not feel their early traumas in primals. Eventually, it becomes an either/or choice. Thus, one can feel the early Pain or one can suffer from the symptom. The cause of the symptom becomes clear to the patient during the re-experiencing as the patient begins to know why he has that particular psychosomatic symptom. The symptoms often have a deeper origin in earlier traumas, oftentimes in birth and even before.

This patient presented to the office with complaints about her nasal bump, bulbous nasal tip and widened nasal bones. She felt her nose was too masculine in appearance. She had a full rhinoplasty using an open approach at our JCAHO-accredited surgical facility in Downers Grove, IL. The surgery consisted of reducing her nasal hump, narrowing the nasal bones by in-fracture, refining the nasal tip with cartilage resection and cartilage sutures, and raising the nasal tip. The patient tolerated the procedure well with minimal bruising and swelling. At three months postoperatively, she has a refined, more feminine nasal tip, a straight nasal profile, a supratip break, and a raised nasal tip. She was happy with the more feminine appearance of her nose. | 2019-04-24T00:40:01Z | https://drparesi.com/Before-After-Photos/Face/Rhinoplasty/Downers-Grove/38091 |

Sales Motivation: What are You Learning?
The last few weeks, I’ve been spending a lot of time with very seasoned salespeople from several different industries. These are some very capable people who are professional and mature in their sales process. At the same time, though, their level of sales motivation is not always where it should be and their sales performance is not quite what it should be.
My sense is the reason for these dynamics starts with their lack of initiative in learning each day more about their customers and more about their own sales process. I love asking the question, “What did you learn today and how will you use it tomorrow?” I love asking this question to get people thinking on a daily basis about the importance of continuous learning.
The rate at which industries, the economy and other factors change is staggering. Salespeople who become complacent in their own self-discipline will inevitably fall behind the salespeople who are proactive. Take the time and initiative to actively learn about your customers — their needs, what has changed in their company or industry, new circumstances affecting their ability or inability to buy, etc. Also evaluate your own sales process to see where you can improve or change your technique for the better. Your sales motivation deserves this kind of attention.

When Donald Trump was asked to name the leaders of foreign terrorist groups earlier this month, he awkwardly stumbled and suggested it wasn’t important for him to know the difference between some of those groups.
So you can forgive one of the most important conservatives setting the nation’s tax policy for being skeptical of Trump’s tax plan.
“How serious it was surprised me. … Writing a piece of legislation, let alone tax legislation, is a very serious thing to do,” Grover Norquist, the founder and president of the group Americans for Tax Reform, told Business Insider in a conversation on Monday.
Trump’s tax plan impressed Norquist, who is perhaps the single most important person in the conservative orbit for a Republican presidential candidate to impress on tax policy. Norquist crafted the famous “pledge” to not raise taxes, one that’s signed by the vast majority of Republican candidates.
Trump’s plan, observers noted upon its release, was decidedly more conventional than his vague, more populist rhetoric on the campaign trail this summer might have suggested. It also conformed to the boundaries of Norquist’s pledge by being revenue neutral.
Norquist identified one notable missing element for which conservatives often advocate in tax reform: Trump’s plan would not move closer to full expensing of business fixed investment, which refers to business investment in physical assets. Those assets are currently deducted over a span of several years – Norquist and other conservatives want those assets deducted in a single year.
But Norquist praised the plan’s practicality. He said it would likely earn the support of every Republican in Congress, and noted it’s on the same page with plans and ideas from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), the chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, and Sen. Orrin Hatch, the chair of the Senate Finance Committee. | 2019-04-21T00:20:15Z | https://www.businessinsider.sg/grover-norquist-donald-trump-tax-plan-2015-9/ |

Its hard finding firsts or new things when the 4th and 5th child are growing up. Chances are that one of the older kids have already broken that mold and had that experience. But once again I am proved wrong.
Alexander finally had a loose tooth. But he was afraid of actually losing it. He brushed gently. He wouldn't wiggle it. He altered his diet. But one morning he woke up and it was lost. He couldn't find it anywhere. Tears. Worry.
We found the tiny little tooth in his bed. It had fallen out in the middle of the night. The Toothfairy brought him $5 which so happens to be the same cost as a new yo-yo that he had been wanting for about a month. | 2019-04-21T02:59:29Z | http://www.alligatorpurse.org/2014/09/first-lost-tooth-v4.html |
570 internet researchers from all over the world met at the conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR2016)in Berlin. According to the theme “Internet Rules!”, they discussed regulations of the Internet, how power structures as well as making and breaking rules work online and what challenges occur for the society. The conference, which took place in Germany for the first time, was hosted by the Hans-Bredow-Institut and the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG).
For four days, the participants of the AoIR discussed what rules and regulations the Internet needs. The topics ranged from ethics in digitalisation, data protection and the regulation of platforms to effects of social media on political decision-making. The keynote “The Platform Society” was given by Prof. Dr. José van Dijck of the University of Amsterdam.
One highlight of the conference was the public panel discussion “Who Rules the Internet?“ on October 6 in the lecture hall of the Humboldt-Universität Berlin. Kate Crawford (Microsoft Research), Fieke Jansen (Tactical Tech) and Carolin Gerlitz (Universität Siegen) discussed power structures and regulatory structures on the Internet at this panel.
Plenary Panel: Who Rules the Internet?
The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) aims at exploring the dynamic relationship between the Internet and society. It seeks to understand the interplay between social-cultural, legal, economic and technical norms in the process of digitalisation, and thus, form the basis for the dialogue of different interest groups of politics, business and society. The changes in the area of conflict of governance and innovation is the basic framework for the research. The interrelation shows many varieties and forms structures that have an effect in all areas of society and economic sectors: government and administration, businesses and markets and in different groups of civil society, from the local to the global level. The HIIG was founded in 2011 by the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK) and the Social Science Research Centre Berlin (WZB), in alliance with the Hans-Bredow-Institut as an integrated co-operation partner. | 2019-04-22T04:26:50Z | https://www.hans-bredow-institut.de/en/news/aoir2016-internet-rules |
Welcome to the sun! Thanks for showing up and sticking around for Saturday’s wedding.
Even with the sun coming back, I’m still in that laid back sort of vibe…and all over the place. A bit of computer music, some reggae, classic hip hop, and a CLASSIC Otis Redding track.
We were playing some Otis Redding in the kitchen last week (on the new Echo!) and this one popped on. It took me way back to a time when Corey Haim and Corey Feldman were in everything…especially a movie called “Dream a Little Dream“. I had the cassette tape (old school) for that soundtrack and I ran it until the tape literally popped.
I mean honestly…Van Morrison, Wilson Picket, Otis Redding, R.E.M., Sinatra,…check the full list here. I need to find that soundtrack for sure. | 2019-04-21T04:38:19Z | https://www.wesbrownphotography.com/2015/04/music-mondays-the-sun-in-the-sky-what/ |

Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. Chinensis), also known as bok choy or pak choi, is a green leafy vegetable native to China, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years. This winter-hardy vegetable is highly popular in China and Southeast Asia, particularly in Vietnam and the Philippines. Chinese cabbage has captured the attention of the western world in recent years due to to its highly nutritious leaves and stalks.
Thanks to its varied and abundant concentrations of manganese, zinc, and vitamins A and C, Chinese cabbage can be considered a good source of antioxidants, which are helpful substances that play an important role in keeping the body’s cells healthy and protected from free radical damage.
As a cruciferous vegetable, Chinese cabbage contains glucosinolates. These naturally occurring components give vegetables like Chinese cabbage a pungent aroma and health benefits that include inflammation reduction, detoxification support, and immune system stimulation.
Chinese cabbage has the essential nutrients to keep osteoporosis at bay: calcium and phosphorus aid in bone mineralization, magnesium creates collagen, and vitamin K regulates the bone mineralization process. Moreover, a single cup of Chinese cabbage can deliver 64 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin K and 16 percent of the recommended daily value of calcium, making it all the easier to prevent bone fractures.
By working in conjunction with potassium, magnesium and calcium can naturally decrease blood pressure and keep it at a normal level.
Note: Chinese cabbage is generally healthy but should be consumed in limited amounts or avoided by individuals with thyroid dysfunction. Like all cruciferous vegetables, Chinese cabbage has goitrogens or chemical compounds that can lead to goiter if taken regularly and in high amounts.
In addition to lowering and steadying blood pressure, Chinese cabbage promotes heart health with vitamin B6 and folate. These two nutrients ensure that there is no buildup of homocysteine, a compound that has been linked to blood vessel damage. Furthermore, Chinese cabbage has zero cholesterol.
The high vitamin C content in Chinese cabbage is good for the skin as well since vitamin C is necessary for collagen, the substance that renews and repairs skin.
The easiest way to enjoy Chinese cabbage is as a simple stir fry. Chinese cabbage prepared this way can be eaten as is or served with tofu and meat to make it more substantial a meal.
Apart from stir fry, Chinese cabbage does well in salads, wraps, sandwiches, and slaw.
Note: when purchasing Chinese cabbage from the grocery, choose firm and fresh heads that feel heavy for their size. Avoid heads with leaves that appear bruised or wilted.
Chinese cabbage is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetable that contains a multitude of essential minerals and vitamins. The combination of nutrients makes it one of the best foods for supporting the heart and skin, and a good preventive measure against osteoporosis and high blood pressure.
Individuals with thyroid disorders should consume Chinese cabbage sparingly or avoid it altogether because of the possible negative effects this vegetable may cause to the thyroid gland. | 2019-04-22T01:09:07Z | https://naturalpedia.com/chinese-cabbage-sources-health-benefits-nutrients-uses-and-constituents-at-naturalpedia-com.html |
Adsorption chiller technology is one of effective means to convert waste thermal energy into effective cooling, which substantially improves energy efficiency and lowers environmental pollution. This article develops an improved lump-parameter design model for multi-bed silica gel-water adsorption chillers. It is validated by experimental results stemming from a four-bed silica gel-water adsorption chiller at various operating conditions. We found that the performance predictions from this model compare favourably with experimental results. At rated conditions and over a wide range of cycle times, both the cooling capacity and COP can be predicted to within 10%. This indicates that the model can be used confidently as a design tool for multi-bed adsorption chillers. | 2019-04-26T12:58:37Z | http://ecite.utas.edu.au/94191 |

With adaptive software, recommendation engines, supplemental homework exercises, and highly personalized lesson plans, we can help teachers personalize each student’s learning plan and work with parents to match her learning styles, fill skills gaps, and even help her enjoy school more.
Each student approaches a subject differently, which means that a teacher working from a single textbook must do the best she can to help each child get the most from each chapter. She can use study questions, or her class discussion, to make sure each student understands the key concepts and how to use them.
But what if the textbook were dynamic? What if each chapter could be adapted to match that student’s learning style? What if a student having trouble with a concept could simply click on a link to drill down into additional information on it, while the student who understands the concept quickly could click on a different link and spend time learning more about how that concept applies to real life problems?
Being able to measure a student’s performance in real time (see “diagnosis”) helps teacher’s manage this challenge. Today, many online tools are “adaptive,” which means they match the kind of questions they ask, or the difficulty of those questions, to the student’s performance on earlier questions. For example, a child practicing single digit math facts may have trouble multiplying by eights. The teacher, noting the pattern of incorrect answers, can give him more practice with eights before moving on to two-digit multiplication. Across the classroom, the teacher may assign another student more problems with sevens, based on her results. Some online programs do this automatically.
Online tools also help teachers break their classes into smaller groups, so that the teacher can provide each group with targeted instruction. In a math class, for example, online tools can help a teacher assign extra practice for students struggling with a particular algebra problem. For another group, the teacher might recommend extra credit story problems, or reading on how adults are using algebra and other mathematics in their professions. This kind of personalization improves engagement.
Personalized learning can also be more efficient. In a class of 20 or 30 students, a typical lesson goes too slowly for some; too quickly for others. A teacher learns to balance her lessons, helping as many students advance as quickly as they can, without leaving others behind. The toughest part? A student can move from the top of the class, to the bottom of it, and back again, from lesson to lesson and week to week. With personalized lessons, fewer kids have down time while their classmates catch up, and other students are not advanced to a new concept until they’ve mastered the last one. | 2019-04-20T13:10:39Z | https://leadcommission.org/uses/personalization?page=4 |
A fantasy novel, just in time before Halloween.
Knights of Mythreth Book 1: The Knight’s Order has been quietly floating on the interwebs for awhile as an e-book, and I’d like to thank all the people who’ve taken an interest in it. You rock!
I hope you liked it. Please consider leaving a review on Amazon, or where you bought it, and I will be inspired to finish Knights of Mythreth: Book 2 faster ;). Another good place to leave a review is on Goodreads.
The book has been doing pretty well, and it’s all thanks to you!
These numbers are pretty good considering it’s Book 1, no one knows of me, and it was released quietly.
Thanks again to all of you who took an interest, and I hope you liked it enough to leave a review, and are looking forward to Book 2! Don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated on its progress.
The 1st proof was too dark. The 2nd is better, but I’ve ordered a 3rd which should be the best.
The 3rd proof has turned out really well. The 2nd proof looked washed out, and the lightning was still too purple. The 3rd proof isn’t too dark, or too washed out, and the lightning is the closest to bluish-purple out of all 3.
I didn’t know printing could be so finicky. Hugh Pindur (the cover artist) was awesome and sent me updated files that will work better with the printer. Check out his art, it’s amazing!
Update: The Knight’s Order e-book just went live on Scribd. as well. This one was a long wait (2.5 weeks before it was published).
Amazon , Kobo , Apple iBooks , Barnes&Noble , 24 Symbols , Inktera , Thalia , AND Scribd.
At some point I may sell it on my website. I’ll let you know if I do.
For those who haven’t heard of this fantasy novel, you can see more information on The Knight’s Order Page.
Who says Halloween is only for horror?

A Spanish prelate has been arrested for allegedly stealing and leaking classified Vatican documents in the second such scandal to hit the secretive institution in three years.
Monsignor Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda, who served on a special commission set up by Pope Francis to advise him on economic reform within the Vatican, was arrested as part of an investigation into the "misappropriation and disclosure of classified documents and information".
The arrest followed Italian media reports at the weekend that Vatican police were investigating the attempted theft of a laptop belonging to Libero Milone, the head of the city state's new finance office.
Balda was hauled in for questioning on Saturday along with a second member of the commission, Francesca Chaouquil, after a probe lasting several months, a Vatican statement said.
Both were arrested but Chaouqui was released by Vatican prosecutor Roberto Zannotti on Monday because she agreed to collaborate with investigators and was not considered a flight risk.
The Vatican also denounced the expected publication this week of two new books believed to be based on leaks from hackers releasing information regarding the famously murky world of its finances.
And it referred to the last time employees aired the centuries-old institution's dirty laundry.
In 2012, Pope Benedict XVI's butler engineered a series of leaks that revealed fierce infighting in the highest echelons of the Catholic Church and allegations of serious fraud in the running of the city state.
"As far as the books announced for the coming days go, it is clear that this time too, just as in the past, they are the fruit of a serious betrayal of the pope's trust," the statement said. | 2019-04-20T17:28:47Z | https://www.thelocal.es/20151102/spanish-prelate-arrested-in-return-of-vatileaks-scandal |

Statistics released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show the Northwest Arkansas metropolitan area had one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation last month.
The Northwest Arkansas area, which includes Benton, Madison and Washington counties in Arkansas and McDonald County, Mo., had an unemployment rate of 4.9 percent in September, down from 5.3 percent in August. Among 372 metropolitan areas in the U.S., Northwest Arkansas was among 41 with an unemployment rate below 5 percent.
"It's critical that we continue to grow jobs in Northwest Arkansas because we still have more than 11,000 people who want to go to work," said Mike Harvey, the Northwest Arkansas Council's chief operating officer. "There remains much work to do when it comes to improving economic opportunity in our region."
Arkansas’ unemployment rate was 6.5 percent in September. That was an improvement over August’s 7 percent. In September 2011, the unemployment rate statewide was 7.7 percent.
The nation’s unemployment rate in September was 7.6 percent.
Meanwhile, the Northwest Arkansas region’s labor force continued to grow. There are 238,600 workers in the metropolitan area of Benton, Madison, Washington and McDonald counties. That’s 4,800 more workers than there were in the same month last year.

What is the proper way to backup before installing add-ons?
Everybody always mentions backing up before you install a new contribution. I'm wondering what is the best way to achieve this?
Should I just save my store in a zip file on my computer? ie. domain.com/store <--- Just take this entire directory?
What about the database, should I back that up too, if so how?
I intend to install several contributions so I want to make sure I'm doing the backup properly and efficiently if possible.
edit: I meant to post this in osc. 2.x forum btw, if a mod would move it, that would be great!
You should backup both your dBase & your files, dBase backup should be a regular thing anyway.
Also add Database backup manager http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5769 to replace the default tool, as that is bugged.
For your site files, the easiest method is Backup of all store files in zip format http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6986 though that is still in a rough state, either it will work on your site or not, though is it makes the backup file that will be good.
I added that first contribution, is there a way to set that contribution to create backups on a schedule without me having to log into admin?
I didn't add the 2nd one as I didn't quite grasp the installation instructions. I know you say the osc tool is buggy but if it still works then I hope I can do without this contribution.
Also in terms of restoring the backup database..can it only be done via the existing tool? I once added a contribution and it wouldn't allow me to login to osc admin. In a situation like that, what would be done?
I would still advise you add Database backup manager , the install only involves adding a function & replacing the existing osC file with the new. The original osC file can have failures on restore, so best to replace, with Database backup manager you can also do partial backups or restores (even with autobackup files).
You can schedule backups with autobackup through a cron job, its detailed in the package.
Also in terms of restoring the backup database..can it only be done via the existing tool?
Backups can be restored via the admin tool, or through phpMyAdmin, or through your cpanel. If yoy have very large backups these methods may struggle, in which case just ask your host to do it.
I set up the cron job for every 6 hours. Is that too much, too little?
I added the autobackup and when I enable making zip of autobackup files, my entire shop gets messed (just white with no content). I'm guessing this is the part for store files and this feature is not for saving database zip files? Am I correct?
I would suspect you forgot to upload the included zip function. | 2019-04-20T08:41:46Z | https://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/354343-what-is-the-proper-way-to-backup-before-installing-add-ons/ |

Before THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE leaves the theater, just a few comments on its extraordinary run.
Many of them had caveats like, "the movie was great despite the Christian allegory," or "the viewer can ignore the Christian aspects of the story and simply enjoy the great tale."
You would think the critics would have learned from Mel Gibson's PASSION OF THE CHRIST that there truly is a market out in the world for good family fare with a Christian subtext.
Those critics that did not like the film panned its Christian roots or compared it to LORD OF THE RINGS and found it wanting.
Major media commentators like Roeper and Ebert, and the New York Times liked the movie very much but seemed unable to figure out that the message is what made the movie--and it was an explicitly Christian message.
My take on the comparison of Middle Earth to Narnia is that the film never tried to be Peter Jackson's masterpiece, just like Lewis never tried to be Tolkien. These are just completely different types of stories. Tolkien's is an epic and Lewis' is a fairy tale. Things work differently in each of these genres.
THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE is just great moviemaking that is at its heart a kid's story that every adult can love. It talks about faith, about growing up, about being heroic, and about life after death. With the content lifted from the Gospel message, how can such an optimistic outlook go wrong. Answer--it can't. This film's success will ensure the rest of the stories become part of a worthy film franchise.
Lastly, the critics' fear of Aslan, what he represents, and what the values he holds might do to viewers is perhaps one of the best things to come from this film. I took a lot of members of my parish to this movie. They got to see and hear the Gospel message in a new way, an exciting way. If they now see Christ as the Lion of Judah, so much the better. Let the critics beware; it looks like Aslan will be on the prowl for a long time to come. | 2019-04-26T08:56:02Z | https://anamchara.blogs.com/anamchara/2006/01/index.html |
Fire ruled an accident; cat rescued from one of houses.
Two houses caught on fire in Northeast El Paso early Sunday morning in what fire officials are calling an accidental fire.
The El Paso Fire Department was called out to a fire along the 5300 block of Annette Avenue at about 4 a.m. Sunday.
When crews arrived, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from the back of one house and from the side of another. Firefighters began to simultaneously fight the fire and look for occupants. One of the houses was empty and the residents of the other were able to get out on their own. Firefighters rescued a cat from the empty house.
Firefighters knocked down the fire at about 4:45 a.m. and continued to check for hot spots until about 5 a.m. The fire was confined to about 25 percent of one house, with damages estimated at about $55,000, and to 10 percent of the other house, with damages estimated at $12,000.
The cause of the fire was accidental, fire officials said. No other details were available.
A total of 11 units and 29 firefighters responded. El Paso Police, Texas Gas and El Paso Planning and Inspections also assisted. | 2019-04-18T16:18:50Z | https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/local/2016/07/17/two-houses-damaged-fire-northeast-el-paso/87219702/ |

Much like all of my readers, I encounter various forms of idiocy on a daily basis. Some might argue that the forms of idiocy that I encounter is magnified due to my living in the great Garden State, but I would argue that they’re wrong. What I’ve come to understand is that idiots are just idiots and it doesn’t matter where they live or what they do for a living! Case in point – the idiot at the local college’s bookstore.
As some of you may remember, I teach at the local college. Well, two weeks ago was the first day of class and I just took over the teaching assignment for this class at the end of August. The problem with switching teaching assignments so close to the beginning of the school year is that the previous professor’s books are still the ones that are listed as the required texts – and I use different books. Thus, we have a problem.
My students came to class on the first day and most of them had the wrong textbook with them. No problem, I thought. I told the students to go back to the bookstore and explain the issue and that it shouldn’t be a problem to get a refund and switch out the book that they bought with the correct one. I’ve worked with the bookstore before and they’re typically a good, easy-going bunch.
However, I decided that since I was on vacation from my day job that after class that day I would walk over to the bookstore and just double check to be sure that the right books were assigned to my class section (they were). When I arrived at the bookstore, I noticed some of my students switching out their books, which was good. I asked one of the runners (they have students that run to the back to check on questions when they come up) if she could go and check my book assignments. By the response on this young girl’s face, you would have thought that I asked her to do high end calculus using nothing but an abacus. She responded with something like, “Oh… I don’t think I can do that, but let me ask my supervisor.” And before I could tell her not to worry about it, she was gone.
Folks, the last thing I want to do as an adjunct professor on the first day of school is bother a supervisor in the bookstore. If you’ve ever been to a college bookstore on the first day of classes, it’s mayhem. The young girl came running back and said to follow her to the back. Immediately, I put my guard up because not only was this completely unnecessary, but I knew that whoever I was going to speak with was going to be irate at my presence. | 2019-04-23T15:05:00Z | http://www.jerseysmarts.com/tag/books-2/ |
