I was in small town this weekend that I had never been to before. My reason for being there was of course to bring joy to others through my passion. I also had the luxury of being paid to do it. It was a small town and I could feel the difference from being in the main NYC area right away. I was given a hotel room for the night after my first day of performing which was very much so appreciated. Yesterday, after having had a wonderful night of solid sleep, I wandered into the local mall to seek out a bookstore. I seek out bookstores constantly, they are my haven.
Success!! I found a great bookstore and I was instantly happy. As I entered the store I saw that there was a place to buy refreshments, so I stepped into the line and waited my turn. Out of the corner of my eye I felt an energy from someone, so I turned in that direction. As I looked over, there was a young woman who was obviously looking in my direction. She smiled and I smiled back politely. I received my beverage before her and I then walked over to the little side station to grab some napkins and so on. In a few seconds, she was standing right next to me getting some things for herself. At that moment I felt a signal to engage her, so I did. I simply said, "Hello, how are you?" She replied, "Hello, you are not from around here are you?" I am always fascinated by how people can spot those you are not from a particular place, but I wanted to know more, so I pressed on with the conversation.
She proceeded to tell me that she worked in the mall and how she hated it here. I also asked her why she was here if she hated it? Then I asked her how she could feel that I was not from there and she said I can feel your aura and something is very different about it. Well, just her using the word "aura" got my attention and then some. I asked her if she had a minute or so to talk and she did. Sally, (a fictitious name) was on a 15 minute break and she decided to sit and spend it with me. We spoke of many things in this small window of time, and I could not resist asking her why in the first few seconds of talking with me she felt obliged to tell me how she hated it here. There of course were reasons that were personal to her and she offered a few to me. I then explained to her what I do and how I am always feeding my passions. Sally had to go back to work, however, she told me that if I wanted to stop by the store on the way out that I was welcome to. She walked away and I buried my head in about 5 different books and took copious notes on a few subjects.
About three hours had passed and I was finally done in the bookstore. It felt like I was there more like 30 minutes because the books were so invigorating!!! I gathered so much juicy information!! Anyhow, I did walk by the store that Sally worked in and she and I talked for about 5 minutes. I then asked her if there were any nice places to eat nearby and she was less than excited by the question and answered, "No, not really." I was going to walk back out into the cold and just find a good place to eat and Sally told me that she was getting off in 5 minutes, so she could drive me if I liked. I accepted graciously and we were on our way.
W arrived at local restaurant and we had a small meal with an incredibly rich conversation about life, relationships, making a living, toxic people, and a myriad of other things. I felt that I was supposed to be there at that moment and that somehow she was meant to have met me as well. She also mentioned that she had set a date with a young man that was very negative and that he canceled at the last minute just before we met. These coincidences fit a little bit too well. We spent almost 2 hours talking and eating in this restaurant. I had known her for less than a day and we had a short conversation in a cafe, a short car ride, and a long conversation in a restaurant. I was curious how this person appeared or better yet, how I appeared in her path at that precise time for this all to happen.
Sally dropped me off at my destination and we spoke for maybe another 45 minutes in a parked car. She explained that she was going back home to deal with her difficult boyfriend whom she is trying to get away from and I of course asked a few questions about that as well. There was not enough time to get into it though. I am truly humbled and amazed at these little interactions that present themselves to me in my life. I felt that it was necessary and important that we spoke and we both agreed. I gave her my card and asked her to keep in touch. Sally asked when I might be coming back that way and I did not know. We parted a little lighter in our souls than when we first connected and it was all worth it.
One small interaction can gift you with a new energy or maybe even keep you from that energy. Staying open to the possibilities of learning from another is crucial no matter which way it goes. I could have just ignored that vibe and went about my day and I would have been fine. What was amazing though, was that this complete stranger gave me an open space to enter and then did not question it at all. She sat down with me, let me into her car, and shared a meal with me. Sally was in a frustrated place and she seemed to be happier and calmer when we parted. That was truly a magic interaction. Just think, this whole thing started from a genuine and simple question. It's always the little things isn't it? | 2019-04-18T22:26:54Z | http://www.theresmagicineveryday.com/2011/02/hello-how-are-you.html |

A podcast of stories: fictional, nonfictional, conversational, theatrical.
Still giving this one a chance but so far it's been really rough. The problem is not with the stories but the storytellers. Some of them jump around way too much, and saying "like" every other word is very distracting.
Storytelling without all the glam. There's not "too much" to have to listen to. Uncomplicated with less setup than other story pods. Less explanation. Speaks for itself. A splendid little podcast. | 2019-04-18T15:05:20Z | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soundlystories-com-podcast/id826741560 |

Alan Krueger was the American labour economist who was an adviser to presidents Obama and Clinton.
Krueger drew on empirical research, rather than abstract theories, for insights into the impact of minimum wage increases, the backgrounds of individuals to turn to terrorists and the rising price of concert tickets – his last book, Rockonomics, will be published in June.
He was professor of political economy at Princeton University, where he had taught since 1987, taking the occasional leave of absence to work for the US government.
Krueger, who has died at the age of 58, served for one year under Bill Clinton as the US Labour Department’s chief economist, and he was an assistant treasury secretary from 2009 to 2010 under Barack Obama.
In the wake of the global financial crisis, he tried to boost America’s economy through stimulus measures such as a credit fund for small businesses and the “cash-for-clunkers” programme, which offered rebates for new-car buyers.
When he became chair of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers in 2011, he recalled a tip from one of his predecessors in that role, Edward Lazear, who had advised him to stay in his own lane and avoid national-security or foreign-affairs officials.
Krueger put aside the subject-hopping he was used to as a scholar to become the leading empirical economist in a field known for its emphasis on abstract modelling.
Over 30 years, Krueger made the world his laboratory. He surveyed concertgoers at Bruce Springsteen and U2 shows, pored over the academic records of 11,600 children in Tennessee and tracked the hiring practices of 400 fast-food restaurants on the east coast, drawing conclusions that pushed public policy in new directions.
His research found schoolchildren benefit from being in a class of 15 students for even just a single year; that terrorists were not necessarily from poor backgrounds; and the America’s opioid epidemic is linked to the labour market.
While working under Obama, Krueger developed a concept known as the “Great Gatsby curve” to illustrate the dangers of growing income inequality, which he credited with causing “an unhealthy division in opportunities” from one generation to the next.
But he was probably best known for his studies on raising the minimum wage, which he began in the late 1980s with economist David Card.
The researchers conducted a side-by-side comparison of the fast-food industry in New Jersey, which had just increased its minimum wage to $5.05 per hour from $4.25, and fast-food restaurants across the border in eastern Pennsylvania, where the minimum wage was unchanged at 80 cents lower.
Their results, published in a 1994 issue of the American Economic Review, contradicted the theory that wage increases lead to reduced employment. Instead, New Jersey restaurants added about 2.5 workers and payrolls shrank in Pennsylvania.
Krueger was by then working at the Labour Department, where his boss, secretary Robert Reich, pushed for and eventually succeeded in obtaining an increased minimum wage.
Alan Bennett Krueger was born in Livingston, New Jersey, a Newark suburb, in 1960. His father was an accountant and his mother a schoolteacher.
He studied industrial and labour relations at Cornell University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in 1983. Krueger said he had initially planned to become a lawyer, having seen 1979 film Norma Rae – in which Sally Field plays a factory worker – but became entranced by statistical analysis while doing research for a paper.
Turning towards economics, he did graduate work at Harvard University, receiving a master’s degree in 1985 and a doctorate in 1987.
He married Lisa Simon, a Cornell classmate, and had two children. | 2019-04-25T23:54:53Z | https://uk.news.yahoo.com/alan-krueger-cutting-edge-economist-123339224.html |
On April 16, 2014, around 1100hrs, Mad Mike’s America’s host, HostGator, crashed and it was down for about 16 hours, affecting thousands of websites, a record but not a first. During this time millions of readers were unable to see MadMikesAmerica and other sites. For all they knew we had all turned out the lights, closed the doors and walked away forever.
The next day, while relieved to see that HG had managed to fix the problem, I knew I needed to find a different host. After being taken over by new owners several years ago the quality of service offered by HostGator had deteriorated, with support tickets taking as long as 24 hours and more to resolve. When one runs a web site that draws an average readership of over 150,000 a month, with occasional surges into that magic one million range, it’s critical that the website loads reliably and quickly twenty four hours a day seven days a week. If it does not readership will drop off quickly and your hard earned audience will seek their gratification elsewhere.
The hunt for a replacement and making the migration however, can be fraught with danger including lost files, down time and possibly the loss of all one’s data. Knowing who to trust is difficult as there are any number of hosting companies out there, and they all offer potential customers fast, reliable service.
After much frustrating research I found a UK based company, BoxSRV, which claimed to offer “Premium USA and UK affordable web hosting with quality support.” Well, I had heard all of that before, and certainly from HostGator, so I contacted them and asked a lot of no doubt annoying questions over a period of weeks.
I will be the first to admit that when it comes to switching web hosts I am the ultimate “wimp.” As I mentioned I was concerned that I would lose my beloved website, MadMikesAmerica, and years of hard work would be gone in a matter of minutes. Andrew, the very patient BoxSRV representative, assured me that the process would be flawless and that I would be in touch with their technical folk throughout. I wasn’t sure I heard him right. Did he say “in touch” as in they would actually let me know what was going on as it was going on? I certainly wasn’t used to that level of attention.
I decided to stop worrying and took the plunge a few days later, right after it took HG about 24 hours to respond to a problem. I am pleased to report that everything Andrew said would happen, happened. I was in constant and regular contact with their highly efficient and most pleasant support team and the migration proceeded without even one problem. My site never went down and my readers continued to enjoy MadMikesAmerica even as the files were being transferred. I am confident I did the right thing and am looking forward to a mutually rewarding relationship with my brand new host BoxSRV. The fact that their main offices are in the UK is a nice plus as well, considering I hold dual citizenship with the US and UK, having been born in Coventry, although they do have offices throughout the US as well so as to more efficiently serve their American customers.
The moral of the story for all you webmasters out there: you don’t have to be stuck with an unreliable and inattentive host. If you find that you are pulling your hair out because of hours of downtime and sloppy customer service, look no further than BoxSRV! You won’t be disappointed.
Oh my goodness how fortuitous. I was just telling my hubby I needed to find someone else to handle my rather large blog and had no idea where to look when I came across this article I will be talking to BoxSRV soon. Thank you!
I’ve a blogspot but it’s not as versatile as I would like so I’m thinking of switching to Word Press. Why would I need to self-host?
Self-hosting denies you the “jump start” of having a blog community, but allows you more freedom in terms of content and code.
One other thing David. Once you start getting a lot of traffic, thousands a day, WP.com simply can’t handle it and you’re always crashing. That’s the primary reason I went to self-hosting. I have a dedicated server that does a find job handling the occasional spikes in readership.
Well, MM. That day will come! And when it does, you’ll be the first guy to ride in my Lamborghini. We’ll do lunch. I’m thinking Paris.
Paris works then again Im a big fan of London.
Thanks for the review, means a lot to us and we enjoy seeing these happy reviews! Glad everything went perfect as standard and your happy with the outcome!
@Winnie if you need a chat or questions etc feel free to drop me a line [email protected] I can generally try and do discounts, answer questions and help if you did look at changing!
You are welcome and thanks to you and your fine team Andrew.
So where is all this proof? Does it come with spellcheck?
Hahahahahaha! They come out of the woodwork, don’t they, MM?
They do my friend. I like the blacklist and ban option on WP.
I will keep this in mind as I’ve been thinking about launching a website featuring a unique line of merchandise.
Been with BoxSrv near 2 years now got 2 VPS with them, one in America one in UK, been very solid so far and support is pretty dam fast, glad to see them getting the publicity those guys deserve!
I can tell you I have no complaints with my dedicated server or the mind blowing support. It is, quite frankly, among the best I’ve experienced. Another plus: those guys actually have a sense of humor!!
I can also vouch for BoxSrv – I recently moved a VPS and a reseller account to them after the previous host become beyond unreliable, and I couldn’t be happier!
The services are MUCH better (faster, and actually online!), the migration was painless (and free!) and any support that I’ve needed has been fast, efficient and even good-humoured!
10/10 for BoxSrv from me.
All I can say is try them and see!
Thanks everyone for your kind words and feedback, always glad to hear we are doing it right!
I have shared this with a huge amount of our clients too Mike, bit of extra traffic! | 2019-04-19T22:37:44Z | https://madmikesamerica.com/2014/07/webmasters-where-to-go-when-your-web-host-fails/ |
How does Trae Young elevate this team in his rookie season?
Is Kent Bazemore truly a part of the team’s future?
Which young player will emerge outside of Young between John Collins, Taurean Prince and Alex Len?
Will Nikola Vucevic be around all season long?
Is Aaron Gordon primed to be the face of the franchise?
Can the team get by without a legitimate point guard option to begin the season?
The team’s frontcourt is in shambles with the departure of Dwight Howard. Can younger players like Frank Kaminsky, Juan Hernangomez and Cody Zeller step up immediately?
What is the future of Kemba Walker on this roster with a new GM looking to make a splash?
Can this team get out of its own way to realize the talent it has?
Will this be the last season we see the duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal together?
How will newcomers Austin Rivers, Jeff Green and Howard help in the long run?
Can Coach Spoelstra pull more tricks out of his coaching hat to keep this team at the top of the division?
Would the return of Dwyane Wade muddy the crowded backcourt further?
Is Josh Richardson the true building block of this team as Hassan Whiteside and Justise Winslow have fallen out of favor in the eyes of some? | 2019-04-26T06:15:54Z | http://shawsports.net/the-baseline-se-division-preview/ |

Barbaresco wine is a family affair at La Spinona. From the grandfather Pietro, to his son Gualtiero and then his grandson Pietropaolo: for decades, the Berutti family have believed in the land on the hills of the municipality of Barbaresco, a place dedicated to the production of great wines.
La Spinona is a company that represents its founder Pietro Berutti, a man of great experience who believed in Barbaresco since the 1940s. Pietro’s son Gualtiero, an experienced veterinary surgeon, brought his expertise not only to the breeding of Piemontese cattle, but also to the cultivation of the vineyards and selection of the best products, while respecting the environment. This is a responsibility he continues to bear, confident that his commitment is shared by his son Pietropaolo, a wine-making technician and head of production in the winery, together with the marketing side.
The results can be seen in abundance: the Barbaresco, Barolo, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba and Langhe Chardonnay are all appreciated in the major markets, including the US, Japan and Canada. | 2019-04-20T04:36:48Z | http://www.laspinonabarbaresco.it/en/winerybarbarescoandbarolo |
The thought of spending a long time cooped up in a car with your loved ones might be daunting, but with the scenery as distractingly beautiful as it is in the Top End, you needn’t worry. These routes pack in plenty of breaks for swimming, fishing and bushwalking so it’s not too long between leg stretches.
This drive is perfect for families. The scenic Red Centre way starts at Alice Springs with a visit to Simpsons Gap gorge. The next day includes plenty of swimming at stunning waterholes; you can even camp for the night at Ormiston Gorge and take a magical dip at dawn in the clear waters. Next, kick up dust on your way to Kings Canyon, with a stop at Tnorala, a huge crater formed millions of years ago. After a walk around the rim of the canyon, you’re on the final stretch to Uluru and Ayers Rock Resort. A sunset camel ride is the perfect activity to end the journey.
In the North Eastern corner of the state is a vast, virtually untouched area rich in Aboriginal culture. The Central Arnhem Road starts near Katharine and takes you all the way to Nhulunbuy; you’ll need a four-wheel drive for this one. Give yourself a few days to explore Katherine Gorge by canoe at the start and try your hand at catching a barramundi in Daly River. The Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre, located near Nhulunbuy, has fascinating bark paintings, carvings and artefacts.
A great day trip from Darwin, Litchfield National Park is home to cascading waterfalls and plenty g fishing opportunities. There’s nothing quite like plunging into the cool water at Florence Falls after a hot drive. Pack a picnic and leave enough time to spend a sunny afternoon there. You’ll have a chance to flex your off-road skills on the Reynolds River Track. The road accesses some idyllic campgrounds as well as a magnetic termite field, which looks a little like a miniature cemetery. | 2019-04-21T02:30:59Z | https://www.qantas.com/travelinsider/en/explore/australia/northern-territory/the-best-drives-in-the-northern-territory.html |
I dont know if I'm one of the only ones who didnt really find anything bad with this song, I mean hell look at most other artists, they dont know the language but they tend to sing it anyway, I obviously heard that she didnt really sing it as if it was a first language, but hey, I didnt really care, I actually appreciated the song, and well I liked every minute of it, so I dont know why people are getting so upset by this fact, when in fact it is a remix, and if someone wants to make one the way they'd like it, by all means go ahead, but for now, I want to enjoy whats been given to me, namely this remix, so good job, I liked it alot!
What? I didn't comment on this?
This is one of my favorites off of OCR, probably because it's the kind of stuff I love. I think Japanese singing works better here than English would. Granted, I generally don't like Japanese Pop, but this isn't pop, this is more classical, and for that Japanese works better than many languages in my opinion. Or at least, it works better for me.
I didn't notice anything wrong with any of the pitches or anything like that, and Pixie pointed out why perfectly in her post a couple pages back.
awsome song im defenitly burning this to a disk and i was just wondering i cought some beats from garageband did you use garageband?
She did, in fact, use Garageband. Good ears.
Come to think of it, I haven't thanked pixie yet for ReMixing one of the most haunting melodies from Ocarina of Time and turning it into an even more beautiful piece. So... thanks, pixie!
You're welcome! Haha... wow, I can't believe this mix is still getting comments. Thanks guys.
Same here. Pixietricks I LOVE YOU.
I like this remix alot! The japanese lyrics are cool.
I'd just like to add to my earlier comments that pixitricks is an inspiring young artist whose voice carries with it an otherworldly weight that cannot be denied nor ignored. The presence in her songs is unique.
As a brief prologue, I'll state that I like on a fairly heavily treed street, and I work fairly late.
I'd just gotten off the bus on my way home today, and this song came up in my mp3 player.
It's a nice night, but quite dark aside from the occasional streetlight. Also, there happened to be a light rain tonight.
As I was walking home, this song just fit the mood perfectly.
Only shortly after it ended did I remember that this also happens to be quite akin to the mood in the Forest Temple itself [only with more ghosts and hands falling from ceilings].
I think when a song can either provide perfect background music for a situation like that or make you recall moments like those, it's succeeded in what it's trying to do.
Ooo, I very much love this. It captures the ambience of the temple, but manages to make it more holy sounding than creepy. Very good work. It would be cool to see what you could do with the Fire Temple theme.
I was just going through old review threads again and noticed this post. Checked it out and I have to say the resemblance is uncanny...literally note for note, except for a key signature change. And the other dude remixes game music too! Perhaps it's some sort of GarageBand preset?
I think this remix is excellent, Jill has a very nice voice which suits this track perfectly. I always liked this theme in OOT, it set the atmosphere nicely, and this has only been amplified by the great work that has been done here. The Japanese lyrics (very beautiful by the way) add a holy, slightly foreign feel to it, and it's all very true to the original, including the sound effects.
Good guess, but not quite the proverbial tobacco.
Although I just realized the mix was actually direct-posted, so it doesn't really have a place in a discussion about the judges. My bad, carry on.
He's saying "Prayer" by pixietricks.
Ah yes, another display of cunningly site (staff) criticism from Dhsu. He really could have picked a better example, as we've passed more coverish things.

I can get annoyed, but I still like when David does that; nothing wrong with keeping us in line. I could be wrong on the track implied, but we'll see. For the 1500 lockdown though, we voted on "Prayer" and let it stay due to having some interpretive merit, but myself and the panel at the time came to the consensus that we wouldn't have passed it in the first place had it went on the panel.
Yeah, but it's not really 'keeping us in line' when we didn't evaluate it to begin with. Not to mention that objectively speaking, it's not a MIDI rip with vocals on top, so those would be two reasons why it doesn't defeat my statement that you can't sub a MIDI rip with vocals and have it pass.
I would have backed him up if he was hatin' on AmberTrance though.
Yeah, but it's not really 'keeping us in line' when we didn't evaluate it to begin with.
Which I already admitted. Again, I apologize for bringing it up, since it was no fault of the judges per Larry's elaboration.
Not to mention that objectively speaking, it's not a MIDI rip with vocals on top, so those would be two reasons why it doesn't defeat my statement that you can't sub a MIDI rip with vocals and have it pass.
You're right. It's a MIDI rip with a GarageBand preset and vocals on top.
I can get annoyed, but I still like when David does that; nothing wrong with keeping us in line.
Even still, I feel that if we'd known this was a GB preset, since it was already close, it probably wouldn't have been posted. I love the melody Jill added, but I think this is a case of the standards evolving, and I don't think it would be posted today. However, it's not egregious enough to remove, either, and was spared by the last and hopefully final lockdown, if I recall correctly.
Well, you won't get an argument from me on that front.
Woooooaaaaaaah this mix has a lot of reviews.
So uh yeah! Forest Temple is a bitching song from Ocarina of Time. So it's great that it got coverage.
I really really really love ambient songs, so I love this mix as well! The staccato vocal things caught me off guard at first, but they've since grown on me. Nice work!
It's not a MIDI rip; there was no MIDI involved whatsoever. I sampled the rolling mallet percussion background from the game, and wrote an original melody to carry the piece somewhere other than strict ambience, interspersed with different re-hashed sections from the source.
It's the exact original melody with a looping preset over it.
Actually, the only "melody" in the original lasts about four bars, and there are layers upon layers of tracks in this remix even excluding my vocals, so you can't boil it down like that. | 2019-04-23T22:51:28Z | https://ocremix.org/community/topic/2732-ocr01333-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-prayer/page/6/ |
Ryan Moss’s insurance career began early - right after graduating with a business administration and management degree from The University of Texas at Arlington in 1996, he established an independent insurance agency in the Houston metro area. For the next 13 years, his agency served a niche group of businesses in the energy, marine and construction sectors while providing home and auto coverage in the Friendswood suburb of Houston.
In 2010, Moss took the opportunity to merge his agency with Higginbotham Insurance. He now serves as a managing partner for the South Texas Region, providing assistance to middle-market and large commercial clients.
In this interview with Insurance Business, Moss speaks on the efforts of his team to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. He also tackles how Higginbotham is ensuring the continuous turnover of knowledge from industry veterans to young talents.
I started in the insurance business in 1997 after working as a stock broker with a national firm. I always liked the insurance world and knew that it was a very stable environment in which to establish a career.
IB: What do you love the most about your current organization?
Higginbotham is a great firm. I love my teammates; it makes my job very rewarding to know the talent that I work with delivers an exceptional product to our customers each and every day. What differentiates Higginbotham from other firms in the same space is its culture, which is driven by our employee ownership. It puts our employees on the same side of the fence as management and gets everyone rowing in the same direction. Our employees appreciate the added value that comes with ownership.
As a managing partner, I’m responsible for the operations in our south Houston office, and I lead our premium finance department companywide. I also service a block of middle/large market accounts and drive new opportunities on the M&A front.
IB: What has been the biggest obstacle you had to overcome so far as an insurance professional and what did you do to conquer it?
When Hurricane Harvey hit south Texas, not only did it impact our clients, it touched our employees too. Fortunately, we have a 24/7 claims department that was able to form a command center outside the damaged areas to support our clients with their losses. And, our family culture really came through by employees raising $182,200 via a Higg Helps Fund that went directly to our more than 50 teammates who suffered losses of their own. That’s on top of the $75,000 that the Higginbotham Community Fund granted to hurricane relief efforts.
The most challenging issues I foresee deal with perpetuating our industry with younger talent. Many young professionals haven’t given the career of insurance any thought or aren’t educated on the opportunities within the field.
At Higginbotham, we have a hands-on New Producer Mentor Program that trains young professionals to become successful producers as well as HIG U that provides continuing education.
IB: If you had the power to change one thing about the insurance industry, what would you change?
Transparency; the insurance world is behind the curve when it comes to data transparency.
IB: What is your philosophy in life? How do you apply that in your career as an insurance professional?
Treat people fairly, and do the right thing in every situation because your reputation is what carries you in this business.
IB: If you were not working in the insurance space, what would you be doing now?
Trying to make it as a professional golfer.
I enjoy the outdoors, especially fishing and golfing. | 2019-04-26T03:40:30Z | https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/breaking-news/how-insurance-firms-can-aid-their-own-people-in-times-of-crisis-123912.aspx |
Sooner or later, it’s time to get another bed. A new bed can be something of an investment, not only regarding being a piece of furniture but also as an investment in sleep quality. It’s understandable for people to want to make economically wise choices, especially if the family is struggling fiscally. Since most people will spend more time in bed than they do in their automobile, office chair, recliner, or anywhere else, it’s essential that the quality of the sleeping experience is as good as it can be.
People aren’t afraid to sleep in a motel, right? So why not buy a used mattress? Here are some things to consider before making a used bed purchase.
Bed bugs are an epidemic, and incredibly difficult to get rid of once they appear in the home. Many people don’t know where and how to check a mattress for bed bug activity, or would even recognize a bed bug if they saw one.
One solution is to cover the used mattress with a bedbug proof cover. While these covers can be uncomfortable and noisy, they will protect the home from escaping bed bugs as long as the cover isn’t removed or get a puncture for eighteen months. The cover, an added expense to the cost of a used bed, has to be in place before the bed is introduced into the home.
A used mattress is never returnable. That means you’re playing the lottery with the money you spend. If it has an odor, sags, or you happen to be allergic to the materials, there isn’t any recourse.
Mattress building technology has come a long way in just a few short years. The modern methods of bed construction are magnificent compared to their older counterparts. In addition, you choose the firmness and materials which best suit your needs.
Even if you can get a mattress from a friend or relative for free, and even though the mattress is currently comfortable, once that bed gets to be 5-7 years old, the fibers of the building materials will begin to decompose. So, essentially, you’re borrowing it for a little while with the understanding that you’re going to be the one to dispose of it.
What could that beautiful bed Uncle Ernie has offered you for free be hiding? Allergens, for one.
That bed your Uncle Ernie is giving you may be less than two years old, bed bug-free and from a fabulous, well cared-for smoke-free home. But, Uncle Ernie’s needs in a bed might not be anywhere close to what you need in a bed. Choices such as size, firmness, and construction materials have already been made without regard to your body type, comfort needs, etc.
A bed should have a reasonable amount of use left in it, be clean, in good shape, the correct size, and not cause an allergic reaction or have vermin. For these reasons, it’s challenging to find a used bed which can fulfill all of the requirements and also offer the level of comfort the occupants need to sleep well.
If you want a new, high-quality bed, but don’t think you can afford it, let us surprise you!

Is Wine in Tennessee Groceries Wishful Thinking for 2013?
Tennessee media have made wine in groceries headline news this holiday season - and often covered the issue as if it was going to be a done deal.
The Tennessean's Gail Kerr championed wine in groceries. The Knoxville News Sentinel predicts: Prospects Brighten for Wine in Tenn. Groceries. The Memphis Commercial Appeal concurred with the Sentinel word for word. The Chattanooga Times Free Press opined: Break the Wine Sales Monopoly in Tennessee.
I like to remind folks that we are not paid to take a side on the wine in grocery store issue. We have liquor clients on both sides and try our best to be fair in our coverage.
The vast majority of Tennessee voters favor wine in groceries and there are lots of reasons the law should reflect the will of the people. But there are also lots of reasons why the will of the people may be doomed - again.
First of all, if wine in groceries passes, it is probably going to be late 2013 before you see Yellow Tail grace the aisles of your local supermarket. See our recent post for more detail about timing.
More importantly, there are major obstacles in the legislature that have not changed from prior years.
For nearly four decades,Tennessee liquor laws have required that liquor store owners be Tennessee residents. You can only own one liquor store. Many cities, like Nashville, require that the owners be residents of the city.
By law, Tennessee liquor stores are small mom and pop businesses. In sharp contrast, grocery store chains are almost all large out of state corporations. On the heels of a recession, with lots of local jobs and small businesses at stake, we see the local angle continuing to play well before legislators.
Official Tennessee estimates for tax revenue growth from wine in groceries tops $20 million per year. If you need help sleeping at night, read the official report here. The projection assumes that Tennesseans will drink nearly twice as much wine, if groceries can sell wine.
We question the accuracy of the predicted tax revenue increase. Will the average wine consumer really quaff twice as much wine if they can buy it at Kroger?
If so, no wonder the beer folks are so concerned, and opposed, to wine in groceries. Will thousands of beer customers switch to wine at Kroger if given the chance? Or will wine drinkers drink twice as much?
Neither seems entirely plausible. We are not tax revenue experts, but we doubt the tax revenue projections are accurate.
Although the additional tax revenue sounds great for balancing the budget, we suspect socially conservative legislators will revolt at the thought of doubling the consumption of wine. Is this really a selling point?
Keep in mind that many of Tennessee's legislators represent districts that are largely rural, populated by citizens that often strongly oppose alcohol. In particular, many Tennessee residents do not want to see wine in their local Piggly Wiggly.
In much of Tennessee, beer is tolerated, but the stronger stuff, including wine, is seen as more dangerous and sinful than beer. Wine is treated as liquor in Tennessee, and wine sales have historically been restricted the same way as whiskey.
Beer has been widely available at both urban and rural markets and restaurants following repeal of prohibition in the late 1930's. The sale of liquor, including wine, was a serious crime until the 1960's in Nashville and other major Tennessee cities. The sale of wine and liquor in most smaller towns was not approved by citizens until the 1980's and 1990's.
Wine in grocery store advocates say that 3,000 new jobs will be created. We frankly doubt that big box retailers like Kroger, Wal-Mart and other grocers will add new staff for wine sales. Grocery stores will not expand to add space for wine sales. Most likely, shelf space for wine will be taken from other products. And one wonders why beer sellers are opposed to wine in groceries.
The impact of wine in groceries on liquor store jobs is grim. We suspect that hundreds of liquor stores will go out of business within a few years of wine being legalized in groceries. Although many liquor stores will survive, the business model will be radically altered and we predict that more Tennessee liquor store owners will fail than survive.
Wine in convenience stores has avoided the spotlight, so far. Publicity has focused on grocery stores. But wine legislation and lobbying advocates include Mapco, Pilot and other convenience stores.
In Tennessee, wine includes: "fortified wine of an alcoholic content not to exceed twenty-one percent (21%) by volume."
We predict that many urban legislators will back off support for wine in groceries when they realize that corner markets will be able to sell MD 20/20 and Thunderbird. Particularly in poor neighborhoods, where many markets are magnets for drunks and crime, the prospect of much stronger drinks is a legitimate concern.
On a statewide basis, 42 proof grab and go drinks on ice near check out counters will likely incite MADD and other alcohol control groups. Under current law, beer has an alcohol content of 5% or less alcohol. 21% fortified wine is a game changer.
Liquor in the U.S. has been a lightening rod for controversy since the pilgrims first settled. Heck, we banned the sale of all alcohol during Prohibition, with disastrous results. Liquor in post-Prohibition Tennessee has a colorful history. It is no surprise that wine in groceries is causing such a stir. | 2019-04-20T06:43:48Z | http://www.willcheek.com/post/400/is-wine-in-tennessee-groceries-wishful-thinking-for-2013/4 |

The Delaware County Regional Planning Commission was established to provide growth management systems, planning services and general information to all governmental entities in Delaware County, Ohio, relating to land use planning and coordination for activities of regional significance. The Delaware County Regional Planning Commission was created in 1961, established via ORC 713.21(A). The first county-wide comprehensive plan was adopted in 1969.
In the 1970s a policy plan update was completed along with a land use study for Alum Creek Reservoir. The Subdivision Regulations were amended in 1986, and the completion of the Southern Delaware County Thoroughfare Plan was completed in 1988. A new county-wide Thoroughfare Plan was adopted in 2001.
In 1991, a Regional Master Planning process was initiated which culminated in the adoption of a revised County Comprehensive Plan in November 1994. Since that time, individual comprehensive plans have been completed for several communities, including Berkshire, Berlin, Brown, Concord, Harlem, Kingston, Liberty, Orange, Oxford, Porter, Trenton, Troy, and Scioto Townships, as well as the villages of Shawnee Hills, Sunbury, and Ashley. Staff has worked closely with townships to update their zoning resolutions. The most recent of these major updates have included codes in Berlin, Berkshire, Brown, Delaware, Genoa, Liberty, and Troy Townships.
Regional goals, objectives, opportunities, needs, standards, priorities and policies to realize such goals and objectives.
Reviewing, evaluating and making comments and recommendations on proposed and amended comprehensive land use, open space, transportation, and public facilities plans, projects and implementing measures of local units of government; making recommendations to achieve compatibility in the region.
Reviewing, evaluating and making comments and recommendations on the planning, programming, location, financing, and scheduling of public facility projects within the region and affecting the development of the area.
Undertaking other studies, planning, programming, conducting experimental or demonstration projects found necessary in the development of plans for the region or country, and coordinating work and exercising all other powers necessary and proper for discharging its duties.
Subdivision authority in unincorporated areas is defined in ORC 711.10. The RPC works closely with townships and county agencies such as the County Engineer, Sanitary Engineer, Soil and Water Conservation District, Health District and other utilities to ensure development occurs in accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, local zoning, and other plans.
The rezoning process defined by ORC 519.07, obligates the RPC to review all rezonings in unincorporated (township) areas, both for map changes and for text changes initiated by the township. Based on that experience, the RPC serves as a resource for other zoning-related matters such as development plan amendments, zoning resolution amendments, and similar.
In addition to the areas of authority noted above, the Regional Planning Commission serves as a partner in many County and Regional efforts. Most recently, these partnerships include the Delaware County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, Go Healthy Delaware County, the County Planning Directors Association of Ohio, the Partnership for a Healthy Delaware County, local Safe Routes to School committees, MORPC’s development Summits, the MORPC Data Task Force, ODOT, and local and regional Greenways Forums. Data gathered and processed by DCRPC is also used to create future traffic projections by MORPC and other agencies.
The Regional Planning Commission developed the County’s initial Geographic Information System in 1990 to conduct a county-wide master plan. The system was used to compile and manage the social and physical environmental data (almost 60 layers). Since then, the system has been expanded to a departmental GIS for reviewing new development projects such as subdivision and rezoning proposals and for creating township comprehensive plans. Many of the standard layers are maintained by the County Auditor’s GIS office, while the RPC has continued to track data such as zoning layers, comprehensive plan data, bikeways, watersheds, sidewalks, current subdivision projects, and many more. We continuously update our technology to provide increased services for the community. | 2019-04-24T22:47:03Z | https://regionalplanning.co.delaware.oh.us/about_dcrpc/structure/ |

This hotel has staff that is always friendly and when I book in advanced they do their best to book the room and floor of my choice. Rooms are always clean. There are also some nice restaurants within easy walking distance. Steak-Fish-Pasta Competitive prices. When I am in town this hotel is my 1st choice.
Amy is a front desk worker here. She is very knowledgeable and courteous. She always insure guest are happy and updates them on any promotional events that may be going on. Rooms are always clean and staff are concerned about there guest.
Red roof is a great place to stay. All the lady's are awesome Beth, mona, Amy, caroline go above and beyond . The rooms are clean and comfortable house keeping is great as well . I stay here at least once or more a week and they always take great care of me. I highly recommend the red roof. The rates are very reasonable.
It may have been the circumstances surrounding the assignment of our room and was maybe just bad luck (power was out in some rooms so we couldn’t check in right away as they had to check each room to see which had functioning lights - this should have been our first red flag) but the room was definitely not somewhere I would stay again. The air in the room was stale and smelled of old smoke (though this was a non smoking room). The floors were sticky, had a residue that smelled of old beer by the fridge, and there was a mystery stain on the carpet that wasn’t cleaned well that could have been at best a spilled drink (trying not to think it was vomit). The bathroom had dirt and dust on the floor as well and has definitely seen better days. Though I realize you don’t get a luxury room for red roof inn prices, I do expect a clean room where I don’t feel like my socks just cleaned the floor for them. | 2019-04-24T00:00:49Z | https://www.redroof.com/property/IN/Elkhart/RRI018 |
Is social media to blame for the increasingly graphic images in our newspapers?
Debate continues over the lowering of publication standards within mainstream media newsrooms, as coverage of the MH17 catastrophe and the war in Gaza are illustrated by shockingly graphic images. Is the creeping influence of social media partly to blame for the shift? And what are the potential impacts?

Home owners face a big challenge when they look to either build a new home or update their existing home. Construction and painting are costly in both labor and materials. As a painting contractor we are faced with the challenge of maintaining quality finishes while minimizing the time. How can we deliver the most value in the least amount of time.
Whether its a two hundred thousand dollar home or a one million dollar home, customers rightfully have extremely high expectations. One way that we are able to meet and exceed quality standards in a productive way is through the tools we employ. Airless sprayers have been Shiloh Painting’s backbone of productivity and quality finishes. Although we have painted miles of trim with airless sprayers they have a few weaknesses. Airless sprayers are very productive but are harder to control, and can waste paint through overspray. An HVLP (high volume low pressure) sprayer is on the opposite side of the spectrum. The HVLP is a a low pressure sprayer and is much less productive when doing large volume projects.
We are extremely pleased to have the best of both worlds in one sprayer. An air assisted sprayer utilizes the best of the airless and HVLP sprayer in order to deliver HVLP quality in a more productive and versatile manner. We love the outcome achieved with these sprayers so much we bought two just this year. | 2019-04-22T19:54:01Z | http://shilohpainting.com/blog/achieving-cabinet-quality-finishes/ |
I have had the pleasure of going on three treks with Baburam Gurung over the past eight years- the first with him as a guide and the other two with him as a leader.
Baburam is very cheerful, organised, thorough, personable and extraordinarily helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and he has the ability to be sensitive to people’s needs without fuss. He notes their abilities for example, and tailors the pace to suit them without them even realising that he has taken notice.
He has an amazing network of contacts. He knew people nearly everywhere we went. He is resourceful-he managed to get me on a Charter flight when we had been fogged in at Tumlingtar for 48 hours for example.
I will certainly be contacting Baburam when I return to Nepal to trek. | 2019-04-25T20:48:16Z | http://www.adventhimalayatreks.com/allison-towner-australia.html |

Abstract Body: Current antidepressant medications have limited efficacy and long therapeutic delays. Therefore, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of depression is needed to identify new targets and develop more effective and rapidly-acting treatments. Here, we report that cyclin-dependent protein kinase 5 (Cdk5) controls cAMP degradation in ventral striatum via activation of phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) and implicate this novel molecular mechanism in depression-like behavior. Phosphorylation of PDE4 by Cdk5 contributes to its activation thereby controlling cAMP signaling. Consequently, loss of Cdk5 in mouse striatal neurons disrupted this regulatory mechanism and caused elevated cAMP levels, increased cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity, and antidepressant-like behavior. Finally, small interfering peptides that selectively target this mechanism acted as antidepressants when infused into ventral striatum. Our results demonstrate that cAMP signaling in medium spiny neurons of ventral striatum controls mood and suggest that disruption of Cdk5/PKA-dependent PDE4 activation may provide an effective treatment strategy for depression and related psychiatric disorders.
Lay Language Summary: Our analysis of mice that are more active and resilient to stressful situations, led to the development of a small molecule with antidepressant-like properties. This molecule evoked in mice the same behavioral effects as commonly prescribed antidepressant medication, though by acting on an alternative, new target.
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders and leading cause of disability in the developed world. The most widely administered antidepressants target the so-called monoamine systems. However, these monoamine-based therapies may take weeks to months to work and are unfortunately often accompanied by adverse side effects. Moreover, these therapies are ineffective in 20 to 40 percent of people with depression, highlighting the need for new treatment targets and approaches.
To identify new treatment targets, we studied mice that are lacking the enzyme - known as Cdk5 - and these mice acted, as if they had been given antidepressants. We discovered that loss of Cdk5 caused an increase in the signaling molecule ‘cyclic adenosine monophosphate’ (cyclic AMP) in brain cells of the reward center.
Normally, cyclic AMP is broken down by an enzyme called PDE4. However, in the mice that lacked Cdk5, PDE4 did not work properly, leading to a build-up of cyclic AMP and antidepressant-like behavior. Support for this observation comes from the finding that drugs, which reduce the action of cyclic AMP, prevented the antidepressant-like behavior.
These results indicate that Cdk5 critically regulates PDE4 and thereby affects depressive behavior. Based on this new knowledge, we developed a small molecule that disrupts the regulation of PDE4 by Cdk5. When directly administered into the reward center of the brain, this small molecule evoked the same behavior as in mice treated with antidepressants.
Our research identifies a new target, other than the monoamine system, for the treatment of depression and pinpoints the brain’s reward center as the location where this mechanism is critically functioning. The small molecule constitutes the basis for the development of novel, more effective therapies to combat depression and related disorders. | 2019-04-21T14:36:13Z | http://sfn2013.conferencespot.org/55321-sn6-1.225941/t-001-1.227231/857-09-1.227260/857-09-1.227261 |

Colin and Izzy Griggs are in financial trouble with their farm and the story centers around their funny and unusual methods to make money. This is a British farce that works well because of the well thought out characters and witty dialogue. The characters personalities come across as believable and the story flows from one accident prone venture to the next.A very funny and entertaining farce that is reminiscent of the comedy of Tom Sharpe.
"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."Oh my! this British comedy is absolutely crazy. I kept listening to see what other trouble Collin can get himself into. He didn't fail to deliver and took most of the village with him.The narration was well done. The characters were excellently portrayed.
Best if this book is the evolution of personality of the characters. Izzy seems typical English farmer wife and Collin, the joke of the village but they're much more. | 2019-04-24T06:33:23Z | http://fakenhamlancasterscouts.org.uk/13332389-the-hole-opportunity-bronze-winner-for-adult-fic/ |
The accounts must be well managed to know how business is performing and check the financial health of business. The accounts receivable and payable must be checked to know cash is coming in and out of business.
Maintaining good accounts is of vital importance to the know how the business is performing and check the money in and out of business. With proper and accurate accounts, there is no need to remember business transactions as all the records are stored if needed in the future for verification by an auditor. The permanent records must be maintained in an organized manner if required by the government for audit.
It is important to check the financial health of the business is good or not with correctly maintained accounts and records. Business is said to run smoothly when the accounting system is reliable, and produce accurate and updated financial information and has good and maintained records. The tax calculation must be made with the help of efficient accounting system. The financial statements and reports give a clear picture of how cash flows in and out of business.

There are many general accounting systems that all small businesses are using to earn more profit, revenue, sales and keeps the money related transaction on time.

The accounts receivable and payable must be checked to know how much cash is going in and out of the business. Accounts receivables are the amount of money that a consumer owes a company for the service or product taken on credit. Accounts receivables are the sales and profit earned by the company that is not yet paid in cash from the customer. The Accountant must trace the accounts receivable and payable. Steady growth and maximal earnings are important factors in maintaining accounts.
While accounts receivables are considered as currents assets, it remains difficult to consider a product or a service as sold or purchased unless it has been paid in cash. If there are regular sales of products or services to many customers it is necessary to maintain the efficient accounts receivable system, the cash flow in your company will be negatively affected. Check the profit or revenue earned by the business at the year end to give trust to the investors, bankers and creditors that business is performing well and investment are safe. If necessary, ask for feedback from other companies they have previously done business with.
Some businesses already have a long list of unpaid credit, which is a good indicator that the business is having required cash, resources, and good finance. It is best not to forge long-term arrangements with them until they’ve completely sorted their finances out. Many companies offer Tax Returns Services in Ipswich for preparing tax documents and return your payable tax from the government.

The VERSschmuggel translation workshop, which has been part of the Poesiefestival Berlin for the past 15 years, works with a special method – poets translating poets. The poets work in pairs, translating each others’ poems into their own poetic language, assisted by literary translators and gloss translations. What emerges is a direct exchange, enabling stylistic contexts, cultural connotations and poetic traditions to be “smuggled” between languages.
The verse smugglers are Mustafa Stitou (the Netherlands), Jan Wagner (Germany), K. Michel (the Netherlands; see photo), Michael Speier (Germany), Anneke Brassinga (the Netherlands), Oswald Egger (South Tyrol, Italy), Els Moors (Belgium), Daniela Seel (Germany), Paul Bogaert (Belgium), Farhad Showghi (Germany), Maud Vanhauwaert (Belgium) and Nora Gomringer (Germany).
The poetic results of their encounters in their translation workshops will then be presented in the Academy of Arts in Hanseatenweg on June 23th.
The Dutch-German VERSschmuggel translation workshop event is a joint project by the Literaturwerkstatt Berlin, the Dutch Foundation for Literature and the Flemish Literature Fund with the kind assistance of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Berlin and the General Delegation of the Government of Flanders in Germany. | 2019-04-18T11:23:22Z | http://www.letterenfonds.nl/en/entry/1029/versesmuggle |

Still stuck at your day job? Tired of commuting to a prison cell cubicle or life-sucking “career”? Need a vacation? Two weeks is hardly ever enough.
Today, there are millions of people stuck in the chains of the corporate world, looking for a way out. But without any time, extra money, how can you escape?
You already know the answer. You’ve heard it plenty before but you keep putting it off.
There are millions of new online business owners escaping their 9-5 every year. They are checking out of the corporate prisons that keep them stuck in one place, bringing in one check every two weeks, and spending most of their day at a place they hate. Almost everyone has a breaking point, but some never escape before the end. But with the ever-growing opportunities and ways to make money online in the world today, it is easier than ever.
Here are 3 ways you can start an online business today so you have the freedom to travel the world, run an online store that brings in five or six figures within a couple of years, and start living the life that many people like you are experiencing today by living life on their terms.
Affiliate marketing is one of the best (and semi-passive) ways that hundreds of thousands of people are taking advantage of the online business. It’s very simple. You pick a niche (usually something you’re passionate about or know a lot about). You make a website, and post content, information, how-to’s, and keep pumping out info consistently until you build up a large audience of people. Then you flip the switch, simply turn on advertisements and boom.
Visitors to your site buy the products you recommend through blogs or ads and you start bringing in “passive income”. It takes a long time to build up traction (sometimes a few years) but it’s a great way to get started with the online world (and some stick to it for years, bringing in thousands).
Drop Shipping is an interesting one. It started to take off around 2014. The way it works is quite simple. You pick a niche. Make an online store (through Shopify or WordPress). Then you contact a supplier, put their products on your website, and people buy them from you.
When an order comes in, you pass the order to your supplier and they ship the product directly to your customer. It’s a win-win-win. Your customer is happy because they received their product from your site, your supplier is happy because you brought them more business, and you are happy because you didn’t lift a finger (except when you fired off that email to your supplier). The only issue is, the profit margins are very low because your supplier is fronting the cost to ship it (plus, they give the better pricing to retailers who can buy inventory at a bulk price up front). So you end up making 5-10% profit margins.
So what’s working in 2019?
Affiliate marketing can take years. Drop Shipping has low-profit margins (and increasing competition with every year).
You can work in the health and fitness industry which is dominating the direct sales industry. Unlike drop shipping where you don’t really know the quality of products you are selling, often from China, you can offer a proven product called Isagenix which includes an elaborate array of nutritious supplements (perfect for anyone in the health and fitness industry).
The best part is? You can do everything online. You buy the products at a wholesale discount from Isagenix and cut out the middle man by selling directly to your customers. Plus, like drop shipping, the products ship directly to customers, except… The profit margins are way better and you can start making money within a week.
Isagenix has allowed hundreds of people to quit their jobs and start living the life of their dreams. In fact, the company has made over 100 millionaires. This is insane. Most companies have a couple of owners or corporate executives who cash in on the big bucks while everyone else is making peanuts, but with Isagenix, the income potential is available for those who work hard. But don’t worry, you become a partner with Isagenix which means you don’t get a petty paycheck every two weeks like your current job. It’s simple: the more effort you put in, the more money you will make, with no limitations.
It’s not an easy job, doing direct sales (just like any other above mentioned methods of being a digital nomad), but it offers greater benefits because it’s a system that actually works – and has worked for people over and over again.
But, doing sales? That’s insane. What if I mess up my words? Well, that’s the beauty of having an online business. You get to do all the work from behind your laptop (and do it from wherever you want). It’s the age we’re living in. No longer are people having to bust their balls knocking on doors and running around like chickens with their heads cut off, yelling in the streets to sell their products.
Did you know more people have become billionaires in the last 10 years than the last 50 years before then? It’s because of the internet and the insane opportunities it has created for those looking to jump into the business.
But you’ve never sold anything, nor have you wanted to ever be a sleazy salesman right? They have such a negative reputation. That’s right. Many salespeople have a negative reputation because they scammed someone or sold a faulty product. The reason they are the ones to blame because they are the messenger (Ever heard the phrase, “Don’t shoot the messenger”?
It’s hard not to shoot them to when some people represent such faulty products that don’t work). It’s funny that you never hear of the guys behind the scenes who built those faulty products get in trouble. But the reason the salespeople take the heat in those situations is that they are the ones who are willing to take the risk, to take a chance. And the reality is, with high risk, comes high reward – which is why salespeople often get six-figure salaries just by putting in a decent effort.
So what happens when you combine a low-risk business with high rewards? You get an unfair advantage. But, how can you be sure this product actually works… That people will benefit from it? Well, it is nearly impossible for a business to consistently break records, and build loyal, dedicated customers if it isn’t working. That’s the beauty of a successful business. They prove their value to the world by having a proven track record, with loyal brand ambassadors and dedicated users.
Take Apple for instance… You are either on team iPhone or team Android. Did you notice that one team is a single company and the other includes LG, Samsung, Blackberry, etc.?) This is the effect of market dominance, which is what Isagenix is achieving today. And the best part is… it works. People don’t buy this product just to look good and lose weight (though most benefit from this), they buy it because their health is all they have at the end of the day.
Life is short and full of countless opportunities. Good ones come and go and it’s up to you to decide whether you’re going to escape your 9-5 and start living life on your terms, making the income you deserve and living where you want to live. Millions have escaped in 2018. Millions more are going to achieve their freedom in 2019. The question is, are you going to be one of them, or are you going to let life pass you by this year? | 2019-04-20T07:14:38Z | https://johnspencerellis.com/3-ways-you-can-start-an-online-business-in-2019-while-traveling-the-world/ |

On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin, the first man to travel to outer space, wearing the first version of the Штурманские for the world first space mission. Штурманские was an issued watch for pilots graduating from the Orenburg Military Flight School.
Front, very good condition, a stainless steel Штурманские. It looks and feels so much better than the chrome version.
Zooming into the chrono bridge, 31659 caliber, SN: 0877, 2nd quarter of 1987.
I'm pairing it with a green nato for today and tomorrow.
A side by side comparison with a civilian chromed version of 3133 non-hacking Штурманские.
The 31659 is the 3133 caliber with hacking function, the additional part circled below.
An extract from Poljot on the chronograph 3133 . Translated by Google.
Development is made by designers, technologists and designers of the plant. In developing a mechanism has been given special attention to reliability, manufacturability and maintainability mechanisms.
In 1976 the plant began production of new wristwatches with sekundomernym device: chronograph model 3133. For this development team of designers the 1st MWF was awarded the State Prize. Originally watches were intended for officers of the Navy and were called "Ocean" (item 731).
Later produced a modification to the Air Force crews called Sturmanskie "(model 31659, watch with second hand and arretiruemoy pointer lap time) and watch" Sturmanskie "with a pointer to a lap time (model 3133). Issuance of all these models produced in limited quantities from the military office.
Only nine years later, in 1983, the clock mechanism 3133 became available to ordinary customers. Watch "Flight" 3133 took with them the astronauts into space by Russia, France, Germany, Ukraine, and together with VV Polyakov, this chronograph set the record for the duration of space flight.
Thanks for posting and thanks for sharing your photos of your watches. Welcome to the Forum.
I like those Штурманские watches a great deal - Jon' has a very similar watch.
Great to see you here Roo.
Your 31659 is one of the best I have seen and it is interesting to see it next to the non-hacking 3133 version with inner rotating dial. Some say that the 3133 version was also used by the BBC but there is no doubt that the hacking 31659 was Air Force only. The 3133 is a Russian copy of the Valjoux 7734 - the Soviets did not buy the tooling for the 7734 as is often suggested - parts of the movement are similar but not interchangeable.
It is becoming hard to find them in good condition like yours - usually the dials and lume are very poor. One which had been relumed (and not particuarly well) by its owner recently sold for £350. They are very underrated but that seems to be changing fast.
They are quite heavy watches, particularly when compared with their Western equivalents - Seiko Generation 1 and 2, Adanac etc. Whilst the West switched to cheap quartz watches for their pilots the Soviets were loyal to their mechanicals. Why? Cost? No, it was partly a matter of discipline -the Russian view was that the daily task of winding a watch was particularly important for the cosmonauts (see below).
Equally, it was partly quality, the 3133 is considered by many to be superior to the 7734 - the Soviets often spent huge resources on their military equipment - take the Sukhoi aerobatic aircraft for example, designed by the Russian military with a limitless budget to be the best civilian aerobatic aircraft in the world - it won everything.
I have three of these which are currently being serviced. There are slight dial variations, early ones seem to have the different sections in the chrono sub-dials in a lighter shade of grey - like yours - then some have those sections in white, whilst on others the dial is more grey as opposed to blue grey - it's not until you start trying different Natos that the subtle differences become clearly apparent.
The logo on the dial and on the caseback is the badge of the Soviet Air Force, the BBC.
What I like about these 31659s is that they were also issued to cosmonauts. It is well documented that they were worn in space, for example the first space tourist Japanese journo'-cosmonaut Akiyama Toyohiro wore one in 1990, so I guess you could say my 1990 example is a kind of poor man's '69 Speedie?
When mine are back I will post some photos and more information.
I look forward to seeing more of your watches, particularly your Czech issued Pobeda...!
Once again, great to see you at ATG and I hope you become a regular on NSN 6645.

New member here. I joined this site while researching my watch. It's the same as the 31659 on this page.
Mine was given to me in the late 90's by a test pilot who I used to be related to via marriage. Our wives were sisters but since my divorce over ten years ago I haven't spoken with him. Anyway the watch is engraved on the back welcoming Igor Votintsev to Sukhoi on his maiden flight.
I'll get some pictures up if you're interested.
I did replace the crystal a few years ago as it had gotten cracked. The newer one has a crack in it too now. I know I should have looked after it better... Also it's stopped working but the old guy in the watch repair shop who changed the crystal for me previously says it's not so big a fix. Quoted me $120 to do it. It's been a few months since I inquired about that and I forget exactly what he said needing fixing.
One question. How do I get the back off? I'm not watch savvy.

That's a really interesting one, with the inscription and provenance - very nice gift and $120 to put it right isn't too much in the big scheme of things as your guy says.
If you look at Roos second picture you'll see that the case back is held on by a retaining collar/ring; this has indentations on it to be gripped by a tool and unscrewed - that's how you get the back off. I'd recommend getting this done by a watchmaker who would have the necessary bit of kit, as otherwise you may mark up an otherwise interesting case back.
Last edited by andy_s; 16-12-2011 at 12:34.
I appreciate the warning in messing the back up. I'll leave it well alone now. I was just going to a put a picture of the insides up is all.
Here's why I started researching the watch. I've been playing guitar for around four years now. My guitar is a piece of junk although it's served me well. I'm just more than ready to move on up to a fairly decent guitar so I got together a bunch of things I don't need or use anymore that I could sell or trade towards my goal as good guitars are expensive.
I've read the rules on this site about new members only joining up to sell so I won't be doing that here. I don't suppose you'd have any idea about what ball park value I should be looking at?
Mine which has the metal strap, box and papers is for sale for £450 on the sales forum.
Over the years I haven't wanted to sell it because it meant something to me but watches aren't my passion, guitars are and I'm in need a decent guitar.
I guess I'm looking more for a space/aviation collector than a watch collector? | 2019-04-20T16:34:06Z | https://atgvintagewatches.com/military-watches-forum-nsn-6645-a/1531-1987-military-issued.html |
He was at home on the range in our Classic Canvas Trousers in Walnut. Whether mollycoddling the crops or roughhousing with his kids, these 19th century trousers were his everyday, go-to wardrobe staple.
Made from durable cotton in a darker tone of brown that hides dirt, these men’s pants are outfitted with a button fly, three front pockets, and one rear pocket to keep small necessities at hand. Wear your favorite pair of suspenders attached to the front and back rivets and cinch the adjustable back for a custom fit. Matched separates also available in several color options.
Fashioned from 100% cotton. Imported. Machine wash cold water. Hemmed with 36 inch inseam and offered in sizes 26 - 60.
These trousers are comfortable, fit great (did purchase one size larger like was told) great for men who carry a gun in pocket because of very deep pockets, also can carry my gloves, etc. when out in pasture working. I am very pleased with the quality and fit. I purchased the suspenders from you also.
Very well made and fits perfectly. Great quality. Fits true to size.
Overall, just as described. Trousers fit well, and are comfortable. Only negative comment, minor issue where the stitching attached the front fly to the legs. Just unbuttoning the fly and the stitching ripped, can repair by hand, but seemed like the stitching wasn't very substantial from the factory.
excellent pants. very sturdy heavy gauge fabric. would be 5 stars but back buckle broke, needs to be double stitched.
Very well built pair of pants, made from heavy canvas like the name implies. Wears comfortably at the belly button and when hemmed to length are perfect. Works great with the Stagecoach Y-back suspenders. A little darker than I was hoping for but I’m sure they will wear in just fine and lighten up with more use.
These pants are definately work wear. If you were punching cattle, on a rail gang, or any other hard work you would be wise to choose these trouser pants. The cut, fit, and style is made for work. They are sturdy, no "hen skins". I am completely satisfied.
These pants are perfect for me! A short time ago, I discovered the joy of antique/vintage era clothing, especially when it comes to pants; both for how high upon the waist they fit and the fact that I don't have to wear a belt. This particular pair is exactly the one that I like, especially for its durable canvas construction, though I'm not opposed to other materials. Most of the week, I usually wear khakis, or jeans, but these will be perfect for sundays.
These pants is of amazing quality and craftsmanship. I normally wear a 34 but the 34 was a bit tight. I recommend a size larger. I called about the exchange and the nice lady was very professional and helpful.
The trousers are just what I was looking for. I really like the quality and fit of these pants. I was surprised at how deep the pockets were. I also liked that the pokets are made totally of canvas instead of thin cotton.
Nice heavy canvas and good fit, fast delivery. I wish they came in different lengths so I wouldn't have to them altered, but it is what it is. Good trousers!
Perfect fit. Sturdy material. Excellent workmanship.
I love these pants! However, I have had 2 very small issues with them. 1) When I measured myself to order these pants it would have been a size 32. I normally wear a size 32 so I was skeptical. When I received them they were a bit snug. So I returned them for a size 34 and those fit perfectly! The only other issue that I didn't care for is a fabric tag on the back that I had removed, but that is a very minor issue when getting them hemmed.
I've been very impressed with the quality and authenticity of everything I've purchased from Historicalemporium and these trousers are no exception. Their products are always well packaged and shipping is fast. Buy with confidence!
Excellent quality and well made !
I received my latest garment, the newest waist coat you had on as a special, it was here when I got back from vacation. As usual it fits and looks great. In fact I am marring a couple end of this month and I will be wearing it. This is only one of several items I have purchased, keep up the good work. God's Blessing. Ed Kunkel Okla.
Products were exactly as pictured. Sizing chart was very accurate. Shipping time was faster than expected. looking forward to doing business with you again! | 2019-04-21T01:13:54Z | https://www.historicalemporium.com/store/002975.php |

If you've been following along here or on my Instagram, you know how much I've been day dreaming of going back to Europe. So, when it came time to choose a restaurant for my birthday dinner date, I chose En Croute in Nichol's Hills Plaza! I had been craving some good wine and a charcuterie board, so En Croute was the perfect choice and oh so delicious.
According to their website, En Croute is meant to evoke the comfort and leisurely lifestyle enjoyed in the fromageries, cafes and bars in European country villages but with an American twist. I'd say that is an accurate description! The cafe was eclectic yet simple with definite European charm in the decor; tile floors, marble tables, and seating similar to the cafes we visited in in Paris. The little bistro tables out front gave it the perfect touch! I definitely felt like we stepped into a little piece of Europe in our own hometown!
Enough about the ambiance, I know you came here to read about the food! First off, we split the Mushrooms with Truffle on Toast. Our waiter said it was the best thing on their entire menu and he did not lead us astray. I'm a huge truffle fan, so it was right up my alley. So rich, creamy and yummy!
As I stated earlier, I got a charcuterie board. I was able to pick my meats with the Cheese Monger's board, but they also offer boards of the day and a la carte boards. I loved the raspberry jam they served with it to sweeten up your pallet. C got the cheeseburger made with wagyu beef...holy taste buds. It was so juicy and mouthwatering....one of the best burgers I've ever tasted! I reeeeally wanted to try the Pistachio Honey Cheesecake for dessert but we both felt absolutely miserable after stuffing our faces. Next time, though!! I've heard their brunch is phenomenal, too....I'm ready to go back any time! Who's coming with me??
I absolutely loved our experience at En Croute - I would say it is a nice, upscale restaurant without feeling too pretentious or fancy. It is the perfect place for a celebratory brunch, a girl's night or a date night to impress. I've been told you can purchase their cheese boards and charcuteries to-go to serve at home, as well.... if I ever throw a dinner party, I'll have to remember that!
OKC friends - have you ever eaten here? If so, what did you think? What did you order? I'd love to hear! If you haven't tried it yet, be sure to add it to your list! You won't be disappointed. | 2019-04-18T17:06:35Z | http://www.amandasok.com/2018/01/eating-at-en-croute.html |
WASHINGTON, Dec 03, 2009 — U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell announced today that the Forest Service is inviting comments on a proposed new policy for the acceptance of Inter-agency Passes at concession-operated campgrounds and day use recreation sites on National Forests and Grasslands. The policy would provide for coordination with concessioners to promote sustainable operations.
Under the proposed new policy, the Forest Service would offer a 10% discount at concession run campgrounds and standard amenity day use sites to holders of Golden Age and Golden Access Passports and Senior and Access Passes. Further, concessioners would offer free usage of these day use sites to holders of an Annual or Volunteer Pass.
The proposal is open to a 60-day public notice and comment period. The public can review the proposed policy in the Federal Register (Vol. 229, No. 74, December 1, 2009) or at http://www.fs.fed.us/specialuses. Comments may be filed on line at www.regulations.gov (search for Notice ID FS-2009-0001). | 2019-04-19T21:15:41Z | http://muirnet.net/1988-federal-agencies/forest-service/972-forest-service-invites-comment-on-concession-campground-policy |
All selections have been passed along to the New England District. Official acceptance notification will come directly from the District. The original send date of Monday, 2/4/19 was delayed.
Only permanent residents of CT registered with USA Hockey are eligible to participate.
NO player will be allowed on the ice without proof of insurance!
While attendance at both sessions is not required, all players are strongly encouraged to attend both tryout sessions for their age group. A player will not be penalized should she miss one of the sessions, but attendance at both tryout sessions is critical for the evaluation committee to obtain a snapshot of a player's ability to perform on the ice. | 2019-04-21T04:12:33Z | http://chchockey.org/Page.asp?n=122672&org=438828.CHCHOCKEY.ORG |

A Dubuque man is walking across Iowa — and back — to raise awareness about the state’s shortage of foster parents. Fifty-year-old Chris Barnett entered the foster care system at age 14 and has since devoted his life to the cause. For nearly three decades, he’s worked as an Iowa KidsNet foster care worker.
He’s already walked some 300 miles from Dubuque to Council Bluffs and is about to head back across Iowa, with stops planned in Ames, Marshalltown, and Waterloo. Barnett says he hopes his “Foot’n it for Foster Care” trek inspires Iowans to consider becoming foster parents. | 2019-04-26T16:39:21Z | https://www.radioiowa.com/2014/05/20/eastern-iowa-man-walks-to-raise-awareness-of-foster-parent-shortage/ |
Recognised as the finest carving files available, these flat carving files have the ability to cut extremely quickly with little effort, leaving a smooth, fine finish. Rather than having individual teeth, these files feature ridges chemically etched into the surface of the file. Regular grooves in these ridges break them up and make them act like little plane blades that shave the surface instead of scratching at it. This gives a much smoother finish even when a medium file is used. The ridges are bevelled away from the sides of the file making it safe to use in corners as there is no risk of damage to adjacent areas. These single sided files are 15mm wide by 4mm thick with the medium cut file featuring handles and the fine and extra fine having tines.
A great file. Bought a medium cut one of these some time ago, and lost/ mislaid it. For controlled carving, with a surprisingly good finish it was great.
It really is missed. I must replace it.
Really impressed with these files because they cut faster and cleaner than any other file I have ever used. These small ones are great for detailed shaping. Buy one, you will not be dissapointed. | 2019-04-26T14:22:15Z | https://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+hand-tools-carving-tools-carving-files-rasps-japanese-150mm-flat-wood-carving-files-rutlands+m_jp1132cf |
As an owner of a Care Home I have to make decisions, do I give wage increases to my staff or do I change the carpet, which has a pattern everyone hates and has now become public enemy number one. What I need to help me decide is some local knowledge about what the Local Authority is doing, what the other Care Homes are charging and what the local Infection Prevention team are thinking. I get this by going along to the West Midlands Care Association meetings, ringing up their office or looking at their web site. What helps most is not just the advice and understanding but talking to other Providers who are in the same boat. WMCA is also part of the Care Association Alliance which helps us get information from across the country and helps the Association run smoothly.
Local Care Associations pride themselves on knowing what is happening in their area using information from the many Care Providers who are members. They also share information about changes which are about to happen and how Providers can prepare for them. One example for instance is the training that we provided in response to the GDPR legislation that came out last year. The available places were booked very quickly, and Providers were glad of the support.
Most Associations have a bulk buying scheme to help Providers with day to day items and also big investments like carpets.
Being a Home Care Provider, I don’t know from one day to the next what is going to happen to my business. I am constantly trying to get sufficient quality staff, trying to get enough business to keep going and finally to get paid by the Council. One of my worries is the contracts which are given out by the Local Council. It is such a big influence on my ability to continue to run my business and support my 150 staff – not to mention providing quality care. The local Association knows what is happening or can put me in touch with someone who does and gives me ideas to think about. One of the recent conversations was about providing some private care to offset the impact of the Council.
Nurses, Nurses, Nurses….. how do you find them, how do you afford them, how do you get them to do all the additional things that this industry asks? The bank wants to see my business forecasts and CQC want to see my future-plans, well if they can tell me what will happen in the next few months, then good for them! We had a local Association meeting for Nursing Homes, and it helped to discuss the business, training and advanced Carers. At least it was not just me!
Health have recently started to work closer with Associations to ensure they have the most up to date information and Associations can help them, help Care Providers. Every area is different and has their own challenges. It works well to have local knowledge and to be able to speak to other Associations for ideas.
One of these ideas is Care Homes Trusted Assessors, who are employed by the Association to help Care Homes get their residents back quicker and so save beds in hospital, but also improve the experience for the residents and reduce the need for Care Home Nurses to be running to and from hospitals when their time would be better utilised delivering care.
What on earth is this? I have received a Criminal Offence notice from CQC, telling me that I am suspected of committing a criminal offence and need to pay £1250 fine or be prosecuted! I don’t think I have committed a crime, and they didn’t mention it at my inspection or in the report. Thank goodness I know who to speak to! When I told the Association, they informed me that many of their members had also received them and members felt it was not enough money to be worth instructing a Solicitor. I don’t think that’s right, I am not a criminal and money is not the only concern. The Association gave me the details of a local Solicitor who gives a free half an hour and special rates to members, but more importantly they are Solicitors who understand about CQC and their regulations.
All Associations are different and are constantly changing the services that they provide for their members. This is because they are run by their members to help them navigate complex situations. The Associations are always on their toes making sure they know about the changes which CQC and Local Authorities are making and have plans on how to share just the bits that members need and no more. Now that we have the Care Association Alliance, we have 34 other Associations that we can ask for advice on how they are doing things and where to get information, this ensures Care Providers are better supported.
West Midlands Care Association has nearly 500 members who provide many different types of care. | 2019-04-19T22:15:55Z | https://www.drivenbyhealth.co.uk/other-news/extracts-from-the-diaries-of-care-providers/ |

La Libertad has no main central bus terminal. When you look at google maps you will find a few bus stops listed in the centre town and these are correct. Basically, when coming and going from La Libertad just ask someone or even just look around you. There are so many busses coming and going through this small area that it’s almost impossible not to find the one you need!
Take bus 80. This bus goes back and forth between Sunzal and La Libertad and runs every 15 to 20 minutes from 4:30am to around 5:30pm. The cost is $0.25. You can also take the 192, 192A, 192B if it passes. These buses go between La Libertad and La Perla, Chiltiupan and Teotepeque, respectively. All of these buses will pass El Tunco enroute. Basically, almost every bus that passes gets you to/from La Libertad but ask the driver just to be sure before you get on.
You can take the 192, 192A or 192B which head to La Perla, Chiltiupan and Teotepeque, respectively. Have a look at the map for the main spots these bus stop and go there and look for your bus number. The busses pretty much all leave from within a half block distance to each other so it wont be hard to find. In general, they run about every half hour from 7am to ~5:30pm.
There are two buses per day (287) that go from La Libertad all the way to Sonsonate: 6am and 1:30pm. This bus takes about 20min to get to El Tunco from La Libertad so you can factor in that time, however the bus sometimes leaves early, so it’s best to be waiting a bit early. Going the other way, bus 287 leaves Sonsonate for La Libertad at 5:50am and 3:30pm.
Option 2: Take a nice A/C microbus (102A). These buses run between Sunzal and San Salvador and passes La Libertad on the way. They leave every 20-30 minutes from 6am until ~7pm the 102A will pass. The cost is $1.50 and takes about 1hr. In San Salvador they leave from the Punto de microbuses ruta 102 and pass the Terminal de Occidente and the Estación Ceiba de Guadalupe** in the San Benito area. The trip takes about 45 minutes.
Take the 187 that is heading to Comalapa. Let the money guy know you want to get off and switch to the airport bus. From there you will need to get to the spot to stand on the highway headed to the airport. Ask a local to point you in the right direction. From there take the 138 microbus to the Airport. We will be updating this very soon with more detailed information! Have a look at the El Salvador International Airport page for photos and more info.
Haven’t done this but we are told to take the 187A. It leaves every hour and takes one hour.
I had locals tell me you can take the 540 bus all the way to Zacatecoluca but I have not done it but will soon.
I am also told there is a 177 to San Vicente.
Centro Comercial El Faro - where you can find a large grocery store as well as coffee shops, a Subway sandwich shop, fast food, ice cream and a few other things. About 800 meters from where all of the main bus stops are. Buses will also pass by here.

This two-person exhibition focuses on the work of Meghan Grubb ’05 and Zsofia Schweger ’12, recipients of the 2015–16 Alice C. Cole ’42 Studio Project Grant. Explorations of home and personal space coexist with attened form and tightly controlled color in Zsofia Schweger’s paintings. Her current thinking on stillness and duration as it applies to interior scenes informs her examinations of the way that a static medium can convey a sense of passing time. | 2019-04-22T07:15:01Z | https://zsofiaschweger.com/exhibition/motionless-2017-10-02/ |
A food delivery startup had chosen to implement Kronos version 7 but didn’t have anyone on their in-house IT team who was trained to work on the platform. So when their HR and Payroll departments ran into problems exporting data in their preferred format, they reached out to Surety Systems.

Internet provides a wealth of knowledge out there, and we now have many who prefer the DIY approach. This culture is tempting for many because they end up thinking that they can handle just about everything. However, you need to remember that at times a DIY approach might seem to be a good approach and will also help you save on a few dollars, but in some instances, it can be costly or even dangerous. It is always best to get professionals for your roller doors repairs. Here are some of the reasons why you should opt for only the professionals.
You can be safe: Safety is one of the biggest concerns for us, and more so when taking on a repairing project. The roller door repairs involve working with heavy weights and mechanisms. The mechanisms help to move these doors smoothly. Just imagine what these things could end up doing to your hands or any other parts of your body. You will take all the required precautions but think for a moment what could happen if there is no experience or training? It’s nothing but a disaster waiting to happen.
Making it more complicated: Often, it is difficult to gauge the extent of a problem in a specific scenario. All the knowledge available out there can be helpful, but it may not teach you about a specific situation of yours. An actual professional training for roller doors repairs is different than the DIY approaches that you find on the internet. You might think that you are doing the right thing but end up making the problem worst. If the problem worsens it may get costlier than it is now. If you call a professional, you can easily get the job done in the most efficient manner.
Risk of compromising on security: Professionals know exactly what they are working with, in the roller doors repairs. If you go for a DIY approach, you might think that you have done the best job to fix it but rather you may end up leaving some loopholes in the security. A gap in your doors, a broken lock, and so on, is an open invitation for thieves to attack. A professional on the other hand will analyze the problem and after providing the solution will also ensure that the security of your property is not compromised.
Apart from trying to fix a complicated problem in your roller doors, you can take appropriate measures for roller doors repairs. Make sure to take good care of your doors so that there is less repair work needed. Timely cleaning will ensure that dust does not settle in areas that are prone of getting jammed. If you take good care of your doors it will prolong the life and ensure that fewer repairs are needed over time.
Make sure that you compare the above-mentioned points and take a call, when there is a need to repair the roller doors. Investing in a professional service will not only give you a good result, but it will also enhance the overall performance of the doors. It is crucial then that you spend time to find the best professionals providing the repair and maintenance services in your area. Once you identify the right professionals, all that you need to do is to give them a call, they will come and provide the most efficient service to you. | 2019-04-24T06:42:58Z | https://www.ippio.com/why-get-only-professional-for-your-roller-doors-repairs/ |

Rewards play an important role in helping kids with ADHD stay motivated and on track as they learn new behaviors or follow through on their daily behavior goals. Often when kids with ADHD don’t follow through on a task or aren’t making an effort the way we might expect them to, it’s because they are struggling to overcome the difficulties with motivation that accompany ADHD. Rewards give them the boost that they need, but are only effective when they are provided immediately, consistently, and are something the child truly wants to earn. The difficulties that kids with ADHD have with delayed gratification make smaller daily rewards more effective than delayed rewards that take longer to earn.
For busy families whose weekdays are jam packed with school, after-school activities, homework, appointments, tutoring, dinner, and hopefully a few minutes of family time, finding ways to consistently provide daily rewards is a challenge. Small trinkets or grab-bag style rewards are only motivating for a little while, and often end up creating clutter at home. Screen-time can be very motivating for many kids and it’s inexpensive, but it’s often problematic, especially if you have a child who gets upset when his or her screen time is over, or if parents are too busy in the evenings to effectively monitor time limits and media content.
Ask kids an open-ended question about what they want to earn, and you’ll probably get a list of activities that are too time consuming or expensive to do regularly or tangible items that are expensive and would take much longer than one day to earn. Presenting your child with a list of daily rewards that he or she might enjoy can help him or her think outside of the box and focus his or her attention on coming up with rewards that are both feasible and motivating. From this list he or she can select top choices, or add additional options, and then use his or her selections to create a smaller “reward menu.” Every day when your child achieves his or her daily behavior goals, he or she can choose one item from the personalized reward menu.
The list of quick and easy reward ideas below can be a good starting point. You may want to create your own refined list from this larger selection, based on what you think will be the best fit for your family. Just remember that kids’ preferences and interests change quickly, and you might be surprised to learn that something your child couldn’t get enough of last week isn’t even on his or her radar today! So, always involve your child in the final reward selection process.
Make a 5-minute video of singing, dancing, telling jokes, etc. | 2019-04-23T06:03:46Z | https://huntingtonhelps.com/resources/adhd-blog/quick-and-easy-reward-ideas-for-busy-families |
You are here: Home / General / Today starts weekly Wednesday musical ruminations!
Today starts weekly Wednesday musical ruminations!
In an effort to organize the instructional material I have here on my site, I will from now on add only one lesson a week. This helps me focus my posts and helps you know when to make room in the woodshed. This Wednesday I am discussing how to expand one’s sound, or musical vocabulary. Next Wednesday I will provide musical examples.
My advice to expand one’s sound might appear in opposition to past posts where I have stressed individuality and having an original one of a kind sound. Having an “original one of a kind sound,” is a very difficult process but here I help simplify it some.
A long amount of time must be spent on all three aspects listed below to eventually chisel away one’s own unique style. Paradoxically the three aspects are based on copying playing styles that already exist.
First, listening to many different instruments and countless genres of music is needed. Spending enough time to commit songs and sounds to memory. If you can hum it on your own and hear it in your head you are making progress. Think of songs you already know and ones you like and would like to learn.
Second is, attempting to replicate the tones and intervals our ears are drawn to. First do this in the context of similar songs, then in others outside the imaginary genre compartment. Let me say this post is about music in general not instrument specific. The more instruments you play and listen to, the better off you are. Attempting to play a horn melody I have in my head on mandolin is a simple trick I find helpful for me. My replications sound far from identical, but progress can be made fairly quickly.
The third and final general aspect of finding one’s own sound is in differentiation. After a few different playing styles can be played comfortably one can pick and chose how to mix and match techniques. Be it chord melody, (which I will get to,) single line playing or a combination.
Instead of being intimidated by this task, go back to the very first step. Simply listening to music is quite easy. Like anything we do, our level of focus is crucial, take some time to really listen. Pick out instrumentation, chord changes, dominant chords, rhythm changes, etc. It is great, fun, easy practice. Till next week find a band or a song that is new to you that you like and commit it to memory. Good listening. | 2019-04-25T06:33:42Z | http://jakecohan.com/2012/06/20/today-starts-weekly-wednesday-musical-ruminations/ |

Here is photo of Russian supercomputer calculating Top Power 25 ranking for end of regular season.
For Those Who Are Waiting, Is Good Things To Come For You!
Many college football fans is waiting with short breath for Commie Football playoffs. Maybe is hoping to win rubles in wager made with good friends while enjoying vodka drink.
Now, here is thing. In order for Russian supercomputer to calculate scores for Commie Football playoff games, it is needing proper data for input. This data is coming in form of scores from American college football bowl games, including very hated BCS championship.
Is all way of saying this… fans is having to be patient for little while (until after stupid BCS bowl games) before Commie Football playoff results is being calculated by supercomputer and posted to website. In meantime, you are enjoying Top Power 25, new map, and final regular season standings.
Is all okay. Russian people are famous all over world for patience, waiting many hours or days in line for good loaf of bread, as one example of this.
Regular Season is Finish! Next is Playoff!
Lenin is first to bring concept of playoff to American college football.
Week 12 was final week of Commie Football regular season (here you see scores). Is seeming like only yesterday when Utah State Aggies is winning 2012 championship by single point in upset over Alabama Crimson Tide and is becoming underdog toast of all American college football fan!
But nyet, is old news from previous season. In 2013 season, Aggies is not even winning District 7 South Division, is not making playoff, and so country is soon crowning new champion of all American college football!
In old BCS system, by this time of college football season is only 2 or 3 teams thinking about true chance for national championship. In new Commie Football playoff system, is 16 TEAMS in hunt for title! And best yet, because of system of Districts, football fans in all parts of country are having nearby team who is hunting for championship! (Please, if you will go and look at map.) Is more excitement for all college football fans!
16 teams (from each Tier) are making to playoff. Each Division winner is first facing other Division winner from same District.
In Round 2, eight District Champions are playing each other in single-elimination tournament to determine new champion.
You see, like all other normal, sporting leagues with logic in whole world! Is fair, difficult road for all champions to travel in finding ultimate glory and honor.
You are asking – “Really are these 16 teams the very best teams in American college football this season?” Is famous saying in Russia – “Shila v meske ne utaish” which is meaning “You cannot hide an awl in a sack.” which is meaning true strength and weakness of all teams is always being discovered.
Also in Russia, is another saying: “Vsyakomu ovoshchu svoyo vremya.” Is meaning “Every vegetable has its time.” Who will be champion American college football team of 2013 season, like ripe vegetable?
Keep tuned to blog for preview/full information for these games.
Week 11: Who is Most Hungry for Playoff Chance?
Here is photo of traditional victory dance performer after Florida State Seminoles is clinching spot in District 4 Championship game.
Week 11 is when Commie Football season is getting down to brass gvozd! Going into weekend, is 12 of 16 playoff spots still open, so many teams is fighting hard and pressure is of much intense.

District 1: After losing three in row, Penn State (8-3, #17) is finally doing just so much to make playoffs in South Division, barely beating weak Temple Owls (5-6) 26-20. Boston College Eagles (8-3, #16) is already North Division champ, but is also limping into playoffs – is being spanked in Week 11 53-23 by Clemson Tigers (7-4), like naughty orphan child. District 1 is looking like maybe weakest District.

District 3: Spartans of Michigan State (9-2, #9) is clinching District 3 North Division with 39-25 victory over Fighting Illini (3-9). (Also is because of Week 9 win over Wolverines, is holding tiebreaker.) Ohio State Buckeyes (9-2, #7) is handling pesky Pitt Panthers (4-7) 32-23, is also clinching District 3 South. Final game of season next week vs. Bearcats is not mattering now. Wolverines of Michigan (8-3, #15) is barely beating Northwestern (7-4) 22-20, but is too late, too little!
In District 4, LSU (9-2, #12) is blowing it in Week 11! Is losing 31-25 to weak Arkansas Razorbacks (5-6), and is handing East Division title to Florida State Seminoles (10-1, #2)!

Cowboys is so clinching playoff spot over Oklahoma Sooners (9-2, #11), who is losing in 29-12 upset to old rival Cornhuskers of Nebraska (5-6). In South Division, Houston Cougars (8-3) is losing 20-15 to TCU Horned Frogs (6-5) but is not matter – is clinching Division title and playoff spot because Rice Owls (7-4) is losing 30-24 to SMU (4-7).
District 7: Unbeaten, #1 Top Power rank Baylor Bears (10-0, #1) is telling Longhorns of Texas (3-8) who is new best sheriff of Texas administrative district, winning 41-29. In North Division, BYU (6-5) is watching playoff spot slip away after stupid 29-25 upset loss to weak San Jose State (3-8). 2012 champion Aggies of Utah State (6-5) is also losing to 41-24 to Oregon State Beavers (6-5).

DISCLAIMER – I have a few new readers and some have asked for specific advice about their own program, which I do not give because I am not their trainer/coach. Please know that what I’m doing is a program designed for me by my coach. It’s not a general program. It’s unique and individualized for me at this point in my training and it changes frequently. It is NOT appropriate to do what I do, for a couple of reasons. 1) It won’t work for you because your variables are different. 2) My coach does do personal online coaching, so you can get your own program from him based on your current situation, so following mine to save money is stupid. You will get what you pay for – nothing. Or worse. You could get hurt.
I apologize. I’ve had very little time to blog. My days are very busy. But from the disclaimer above, I’ve had a hard time deciding IF I should continue to blog about my program. If someone does what I do, just because they like my pictures, well, that’s about as smart as taking someone else’s prescription drugs. I know people do it, but it’s dumb. So do I stop blogging just because more people are reading? No. You’ve been warned. I’ve invested in myself and got the help I needed – and that is exactly why it worked.
6 am- Wake up. This is my “sleeping in” day, unless I have to get up early to get work done. If so, bedtime night before gets moved to 7 pm.
7:00 pm: bedtime – I’ve hardly ever been able to get to bed at 7 pm on cardio days. It’s only happened if Hubby was out doing something. If he’s home, I want to spend some time with him.
Saturday: Rest = laundry, food prep, grading, chores, etc.
OK – that was February. Crazy busy. Let me explain the cardio. When Coach said he wanted me to do 2 hours of cardio in one session, I replied with a loud HELL NO. And then I asked why. And we argued a little bit with text messages. A couple days later, I talked with him in person. He asked me to just try it and assured me that doing this twice a week for only one month would not be a problem, especially since he was going to increase my calories. His goal for this month was to increase my metabolism. I only had to do it twice a week on non-lifting days. I wasn’t supposed to do the same thing for 2 hours – I could bounce around. Intensity was to be moderate to high. So I did it. That was February.
Fast forward to yesterday, Feb 28th. Last day of long cardio. Calories have been increased to 2600 a day by the end of the month. I have not gained or lost weight. Legs must be growing because my jeans are tighter in the thigh – that’s a first. All of my clothes still fit about the same otherwise, but I’ve noticed a little bit a leaning out in the upper body. I’m tired at the end of the day – I need those 8 hours I had such a hard time getting at the beginning of the month. And I’m HUNGRY on those cardio days. BIG TIME.
I think Coach’s evil plan worked.
Next week, the lifting stays the same, but the cardio changes. Four 20-min HIIT sessions. I’m pretty excited to get rid of that 2-hour block. I need some “life” back.
I’m really pumped the grand plan is all coming together 🙂 and trust me, you don’t have to worry about me stealing your program because I know the struggles you went through to make it work. Welcome to March, hope it goes swimmingly.
Thank you! And good – I know you are capable of hurting yourself with your own program.
I’m relieved to hear that the blog is a good read. I’ve tried to be honest and informative. Wish I had more time to research, but that stuff is out there. I’m still struggling everyday to make this all work. Taking it to the next level is about as hard as just starting.
I do. He damn near killed me tonight. Legs are cramping something fierce right now.
LOVE your disclaimer! Whenever I’m ask about what I’m eating, I pretty much say the same thing. | 2019-04-26T10:33:48Z | https://www.liftingmyspirits.com/2013/03/01/crazy-busy/ |
Located in the Scottish Borders to the north east of Lauder on the Southern Upland Way, Thirlestane Castle was originally built in the 13th century. It has been owned by the Maitland family throughout its long history and is among the seven Great Houses of Scotland. Thirlestane was the historic seat of the Earls and only Duke of Lauderdale until the latter part of the 20th Century and is still the Maitland family home.
In 1590 the castle was rebuilt by John Maitland as a square tower-house. On the orders of the 1st and only Duke of Lauderdale, the castle was renovated by master architect Sir William Bruce between 1670 and 1676. The castle was converted into a residence suitable for conducting the affairs of state. The result was the fine turreted structure built in contrasting shades of red sandstone that we see today. The interiors created by Bruce included lavish staterooms, exhibiting fine plaster-work, and were meant to reflect the power and influence of the Duke.
In 1840 Thirlestane Castle was further renovated with the addition of two new wings. This work was done by David Bryce but the new structures were very much in keeping with the design of the 17th century renovations. David Bryce and William Burn were responsible for the famous Jacobean-style Dining Room. In addition to the two wings, a south wing was constructed around a central courtyard in order to house new kitchens, pantries, laundries and servants’ quarters. The changes were in keeping with the more peaceful times. The castle was now less a defensive fortress and took on the role of a Scottish country mansion for the Earls of Lauderdale.
In 1984, Captain Gerald Maitland-Carew, who inherited Thirlestane Castle from his maternal family, handed the ownership of the house to a charitable trust that was set up for its protection. The castle has subsequently been subject to a major renovation program, supported by the National Heritage Memorial Fund. In addition to the superb architecture, Thirlestane is also noted for its collections of pictures, furniture, china, together with a historic toy collection. A Border Country Life Museum occupies the South wing.
If you travel north for two miles from Milngavie, you will arrive at the 142-hectare Loch Ardinning Reserve. Dr. Robert Ker handed over the reserve to the Scottish Wildlife Trust in 1988. The northern most part of the loch has an abundance of reeds, rushes and sedge while the opposite side of the loch features wet woodland made up of mature willows, birch, alder and carr. | 2019-04-23T18:06:54Z | https://www.scotland.com/attractions/castles/thirlestane/ |

Last week, the normally interview-shy Kendall Jenner graced the cover of Love’s 10th anniversary issue, granting the magazine a short conversation to accompany all of her Alasdair McLellan lensed spread. As you’re probably now aware, one particular quote from the article didn't got over so well with many of her fellow models.
"Since the beginning we’ve been super selective about what shows I would do. I was never one of those girls who would do like 30 shows a season or whatever the f*ck those girls do,” Jenner told Love. “More power to 'em. But I had a million jobs, not only catwalks but everything else.” Unsurprisingly, a copious amount of models took issue with Jenner’s words, reminding her, among other things, that 1) They have to pay the bills, 2) They don’t come from a “celebrity” family, and 3) They’re rarely financially comfortable to refuse work if offered. The uproarious response to Jenner’s interview has seemingly reached back to Kardashian-Jenner HQ, with the model offering defense of her words. | 2019-04-25T18:29:01Z | https://www.wmagazine.com/story/kendall-jenner-model-apology-slay-always |

Living things access energy by breaking down carbohydrate molecules. However, if plants make carbohydrate molecules, why would they need to break them down? Carbohydrates are storage molecules for energy in all living things. Although energy can be stored in molecules like ATP, carbohydrates are much more stable and efficient reservoirs for chemical energy. Photosynthetic organisms also carry out the reactions of respiration to harvest the energy that they have stored in carbohydrates, for example, plants have mitochondria in addition to chloroplasts.
Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct, and respiration produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
In nature, there is no such thing as waste. Every single atom of matter is conserved, recycling indefinitely. Substances change form or move from one type of molecule to another, but never disappear (Figure 16).
CO2 is no more a form of waste produced by respiration than oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis. Both are byproducts of reactions that move on to other reactions. Photosynthesis absorbs energy to build carbohydrates in chloroplasts, and aerobic cellular respiration releases energy by using oxygen to break down carbohydrates. Both organelles use electron transport chains to generate the energy necessary to drive other reactions. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration function in a biological cycle, allowing organisms to access life-sustaining energy that originates millions of miles away in a star. | 2019-04-23T00:55:17Z | https://openoregon.pressbooks.pub/mhccbiology101/chapter/8-6-the-energy-cycle/ |

Big news! We’ve got a date and venue for The Lean Startup Conference: December 3 - 4, 2012 at the InterContinental San Francisco. We’ll open registration in a couple of weeks and if you’d like to be the first to know when tickets go on sale--along with a shot at the lowest ticket price--we encourage you to sign up here for our short, friendly emails.
Note that this year's conference will be part of a multi-day series of activities, including workshops and more. If you're making plans to come from out of town, we recommend you plan to come for the weekend, too.
Some quick notes about the folks working on the conference.
First, the the larger venue this year is made possible by New Context, which is producing the conference. New Context is a consulting firm that helps companies and organizations develop software using lean principles. To support the lean startup community and help us share ideas, they’re getting behind this event in a serious way. Although Eric is a general partner in New Context, we’re observing a separation of church and state for the conference: you won’t see any on-stage ads from New Context, and while the firm may have clients with useful case studies or advice, New Context itself isn’t involved in deciding who speaks at the show.
That brings us to who is responsible for the program: Eric and Sarah, this year’s co-hosts. If you’re here, we assume you know Eric. :) Some of you may know Sarah from the Web 2.0 conferences, for which she was recently co-chair and general manager. She also pulled together last year’s successful Ignite: Lean Startup in SF, and she’s done some other stuff that you may have run across, too.
We’re actively working on the program now, and we’ll talk more soon about our process for finding speakers. Meantime, please sign up below to receive conference email and be among those with access to our special first-mover rates. | 2019-04-24T15:03:47Z | https://www.startuplessonslearned.com/2012/07/save-date-december-3-2012.html |

They’ve been on and off for what feels like forever, but TOWIE‘s Gemma Collins and James ‘Arg’ Argent have finally made things official.
So much so that the couple are even reportedly planning a baby, but it looks like there will need to be a few changes before that happens.
It’s been claimed that Gemma is considering going under the knife and getting a gastric band fitted to help her have a baby – despite previously admitted she wouldn’t have the procedure done.
Gem overhauled her diet at the beginning of the year by adopting a new healthy eating approach, and even lost a stone in the process, but it’s been claimed that it’s not enough for the star.
And, there’s no denying that the couple are more loved up than ever after officially giving things a go.
Ooh, looks like these two could be hearing the pitter patter of tiny feet sooner rather than later. | 2019-04-24T19:55:15Z | https://www.celebsnow.co.uk/celebrity-news/gemma-collins-to-get-a-gastric-band-in-order-to-fulfil-baby-dreams-730234 |
Now [in Haran] the LORD had said to Abram, “Go away from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you.
Many times we think we should wait to do something until we are no longer afraid, but if we did that, we’d probably accomplish very little for God, for others, or even for ourselves. Abram had to step out in faith and obedience to God, despite his fear.
If Abram had bowed his knee to fear, he never would have fulfilled his destiny to become all God created him to be—the father of many nations.
Giving in to fear alters God’s best plan for your life, so do what He wants you to do…even if you have to do it afraid! Like Abram, you’ll find that the rewards are great. | 2019-04-24T02:18:48Z | https://247devotionals.com/joyce-meyer-daily-devotional-dont-give-in-to-fear/ |
The high cost from the Raniganj block is because of the production prospects.
State-run ONGC has decided to hire an integrated service provider to produce coal-bed methane (CBM) from its Raniganj block as the explorer is finding it difficult to cut production cost which in turn means the break-even cost of gas from the block will be $8.77 per mmBtu, far more than the same for the company’s other three CBM blocks in Jharkhand.
The break-even CBM gas prices of ONGC from its Bokaro block is $5.56 per mmBtu, $5.68 per mmBtu for Jharia block and $6.24 per mmBtu for North Karanpura block.
According to sources, the estimated cost of developing the Raniganj CBM block is Rs 2,213 crore and the company expects the integrated service provider to bring down the cost to around `1,400 crore, making the project commercially viable.
Usually, explorers hire separate third-parties for services such as sub-surface (enhanced oil recovery/improved oil recovery techniques), development plan, construction of wells, reservoir management, surface facilities development and production optimisation techniques. However, an integrated developer provides all these services under one tender by optimising cost.
While the government has allowed marketing freedom for gas produced from CBM blocks unlike regulated price offered for gas produced from conventional fields, a cost of $8.77 per mmBtu is way more compared with prices that other CBM blocks have fetched. While it is reported that ONGC has struck deals to sell gas from its other three blocks at $5.56-6.17 per mmBtu, Reliance Industires’ Sohagpur CBM block in Madhya Pradesh sells gas for more than $7.15 per mmBtu, the highest till date.
Nevertheless, these rates are much more than $3.06 per mmBtu price set by the government for majority of the domestically produced conventional natural gas. ONGC has already invited expression of interest for the integrated development of the Raniganj block from interested parties.
ONGC’s integrated development plan follows Vedanta’s similar tender for its Mangala, Bhagyam and Aishwariya fields in the prolific Barmer fields which has reportedly brought down the cost to around 70%. The source added that ONGC also wants one operator to execute the field development plan.
The high cost from the Raniganj block is because of the production prospects. For instance, while the Raniganj block has reserve 7 billion cubic metre (BCM) requiring Rs 2,123 crore for development, the Bokaro block has 30 BCM of gas and will require `2,783 crore for development.
CBM is a generic term used for gas that is found in adsorbed state in coal. The CBM policy was first formulated in 1997, and later amended in 2013. The coal ministry, along with the ministry of petroleum and natural gas, had identified 26,000 square kilometre of coal basinal areas for CBM exploration having reserves of around 2,600 BCM, out of which 33 CBM blocks having an area of 16,000 square kilometre have already been awarded.
However, only 2,575 square kilometre till date have been put to production having 280 BCM of reserves. | 2019-04-21T15:09:25Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/raniganj-cbm-block-ongc-to-hire-integrated-service-provider-to-cut-costs/1290277/ |
We had so much fun on Granville Island on our first night in town that we decided to go back to check it out in the light of day. Of course, it takes another ride on the Aqua Bus to get there.
I couldn’t to begin to list all the cities in which Jamie has said, “Oh, look. They have a farmers market. Let’s go.” She was ecstatic to discover that Granville Island’s farmers market is open seven days a week. Be forewarned — later in this trip we will post photos of Jamie at Adelaide, South Australia’s huge market and the Barossa Valley’s tiny market. I don’t quite share her enthusiasm for the markets, but I usually go along to get a cinnamon roll or croissant. To each his own.
Jamie saw these houseboats and said, “Ooh, let’s move to Vancouver and live in a houseboat.” A few minutes later the pilot of the Aqua Bus mentioned that Vancouver’s average yearly temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit. She quickly said, “Hmmmm. It would probably be even colder than that on a houseboat, wouldn’t it?” I think we can now safely forget the concept of living in a houseboat.
Sometimes we think that Vancouver reminds us of Sydney, but the size and scale are so much more livable than the Aussie city.
Granville Island is one of my favorite spots.
The berries look amazing. I would be excited about that farmer’s market as well!
Looks amazing there. But then again these cities always look amazing in the summer and a whole lot different in the winter. Have fun!!!
Those house boats looks so super cool, but 40 degrees all the time i don’t know about all that! | 2019-04-26T04:35:30Z | https://jimandjamie.com/vancouver-british-columbia-back-to-granville-island/ |
