The Proximity Beacon API’s administration endpoints are authenticated, and manipulation of beacon objects are restricted to authorized parties. Such manipulation might include registering new beacons or adding attachments in your project’s namespace. Additionally, you can share your beacon network with another developer to allow them to add their own attachments to your beacons in their own namespace.
There are several methods for authorizing users to administer your beacon data. These allow you to control which personnel may manage your deployments, or you can use them to collaborate with other developers as your network grows.
Note: The serving methods (such as getForObserved) are unauthenticated. Access is granted at the project level, not the end-user level, using the client API key.
There are several scenarios where it makes sense to allow certain end users to perform certain actions using the administration endpoints. For example, Beacons may be deployed by users who should not be able to access other project resources (for example, creating new App Engine instances). Or the owner of a venue may wish to allow other developers to add attachments to beacons in the venue.
Proximity Beacon API uses a set of roles defined under the Google Cloud Platform Identity and Access Management (IAM) system to enable you to set up users with the correct permissions to carry out these tasks. You can set roles under IAM & Admin in the Google Developers Console.
BeaconEditor B can register new beacons in A’s project, including setting description, place and location information, beacon properties. B can view and alter beacons already registered in A’s project.
AttachmentEditor B can create attachments in A’s namespace on beacons in A’s project.
AttachmentPublisher B can create attachments in B’s namespace on A’s beacons. A cannot use or alter B’s attachments. B’s attachments are removed in case A decommissions the beacon they’re associated with.
Some clients use the API to manage beacons for multiple projects. To accommodate this, the Proximity Beacon API allows you to specify the project id in your requests. If a project ID is not specified, the API infers the project from the request's OAuth credentials. | 2019-04-19T18:35:36 | https://developers.google.com/beacons/proximity/sharing | [

The Hedgehog is not just an opening, it is a system. A system that can be used against 1 c4, against 1 e4 and also 1 d4. Some players, such as the Swedish Grandmaster Ulf Andersson, appear to play very little else with the black pieces.
This is modern chess. Karpov was one of the first great exponents of the counter-attacking Hedgehog, Kasparov was also a great devotee and Kramnik and Anand are also experienced users.
This DVD not only gives you specific theoretical advice on the main Hedgehog lines,but also looks at general strategy for both sides. Whether you play with White or Black, this DVD will help your game.
The PowerPlay series by GM Daniel King is one of the most successful chess instruction tools today. | 2019-04-19T18:21:01 | https://www.newinchess.com/en_US/power-play-12-the-hedgehog | [

It seems Jolly and Jenny elf decided to take some time off from their naughty escapes and take a trip.
Jenny was ready for some relaxation on the deck of a cruise ship and taking in some rays.
but as you can see Jenny is siting on deck alone.
Where is Jolly she wondered.
Little did she know Jolly was up to elf shenanigans and was being his naughty elf self.
and vied for a closer look.
Barbie was none to thrilled with Jolly’s attention and he has been taken away.
LOL! Everyone has to start somewhere!
I do have to admit that it is a good group of people.
Well some how when I glance at our Elf on the Shelf I cant stop laughing.
I think Jolly is still smiling because he may have some other naughty antics up his sleeve.
My, oh my! I’m anxious to know what other antics naughty Jolly has up his sleeves! | 2019-04-26T05:51:15 | https://southernsirsplace.com/jollly-the-naughty-elf/ | [

S-Nitroso-glutathione (GSNO) andS-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine (NACysNO) are nitrosothiols that release nitric oxide (NO) and mimic the effects of endogenous NO. This study investigated the relaxation induced by GSNO and NACysNO in rat aorta and the relation between relaxation and NO formation. Both compounds at concentrations from 10−9 M to 10−4 M relaxed the rat aorta in a concentration-dependent manner. However, NO production depended on the concentration of nitrosothiols present and was detected only above 100 μM GSNO or NACysNO. To determine whether K+ channels are involved in the relaxation induced by nitrosothiols, the contractions were induced with KCl at concentrations of 30, 60, or 90 mM. The concentration-effect curves for the relaxation induced by nitrosothiols were shifted to the right for all the K+ concentrations compared with aortas precontracted with phenylephrine. These results indicate the participation of K+ channels in the relaxation induced by GSNO and NACysNO. A selective inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase, 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one, significantly inhibited the relaxation induced by the nitrosothiols. The relaxation induced by GSNO and NACysNO was inhibited by the K+ channel blockers glibenclamide, selective KATP channels, and apamin, selective for low-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels in rat aorta, but was not inhibited by charybdotoxin, a potent and selective Ca2+-activated K+ channel blocker, or by 4-aminopyridine, a voltage-gated K+ channel blocker. These results indicate that relaxation induced by GSNO and NACysNO is partially due to activation of KATP channels and partially due to activation of low-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels. However, the ability of the nitrosothiol compounds to overcome the inhibitory effect of high extracellular K+ concentrations suggests another mechanism of relaxation contributing to the nitrosothiol response. The most intriguing finding is that relaxation is not related to the NO produced in rat aorta.

Afto is full day’s journey (approximately 180 km) southeast of Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. It is located at GPS coordinates 7° 27' 20.48" N, 37° 59'2.57" E.
Afto is in the Hadiya Zone where there is an acute shortage of potable water and electricity. As a result, local residents rely on surface collection ponds, rivers, or shallow hand-pumped wells for domestic water supply, including drinking water. Collection ponds and rivers are polluted from surface run-off. Many shallow wells run out of water during the dry season.
Can I come and see/check the project myself?
Project visits are coordinated with SMART. ARS is pleased to forward requests to Director Mulugeta Sedoro. In 2013 Florian and Ramona from MOViEATION coordinated a multiday visit with Mulugeta and stayed in the project’s solar-powered Afto guesthouse. The modest fees charged for guesthouse accommodations support CORE & HUB operations. Click here to view photos from their visit. Click here to view the related 8 minute video. In addition, Florian and Ramona wrote a short letter (in German) about their findings. If you are interested, let us know so we can forward a copy to you.
In response to community usage patterns and customer/client requests, in 2012 SMART and ARS technical staff seized the opportunity to design and install solar-powered WASH modules, including Shower, Laundry, and Toilet, each with an integral wetland. The CORE supplies the Shower module with water. Wetland output is used as water input for each subsequent stage/module, thus minimizing demand on the aquifer. The integrated system now installed at the Afto training and demonstration site illustrates effectiveness of water recycling and “wastewater" elimination.
Subsequently, ARS's permaculture expert designed a system to utilize the recycled water from the last stage (Toilet module) to water livestock and irrigate high value cash crops on an adjacent two hectares, thus effectively extending the growing season from 3-4 months to 12. In essence, when the interconnected modules are linked to the CORE, the complex becomes a Distributed Services Hub (HUB) which offers a replicable, zero-carbon, zero-direct cost, 21st century water, sanitation and livelihood off-grid solution.
In this picture you see the last tank that holds the recycled water from the toilet area. As of our last visit Dec. 2013 we have witnessed that all is technically working. December was just after the end of the rainy season, so local ponds where animal can drink are available. But that will change rapidly. Starting around Feb/Mar this cattle drink system will be filled so that goats, donkeys, horses and even cattle can drink. | 2019-04-23T14:06:34 | https://www.antonia-ruut-stiftung.de/solarwell-english/solar-sites/afto/ | [

Premiums for homebuyers with a down payment of 10% or more and for CMHC’s portfolio insurance and multi-unit insurance products remain unchanged. The changes do not apply to mortgages currently insured by CMHC.
CMHC is mandated to operate its mortgage loan insurance business on a commercial basis. The premiums and fees it collects and the investment income it earns cover related claims and other expenses while providing a reasonable rate of return on its capital holding target.
CMHC contributes to the stability of Canada’s housing finance system, including housing markets, by providing qualified Canadians in all parts of the country with access to a range of housing finance options in both good and bad economic times.
CMHC reviews its premiums on an annual basis and will announce decisions on premiums following this review.
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has been Canada's authority on housing for more than 65 years.
CMHC’s new premium rates will be effective for new mortgage loan insurance requests submitted on or after June 1, 2015. The current mortgage loan insurance premiums will apply for applications submitted to CMHC prior to June 1, 2015, regardless of the closing date. As is normal practice, complete borrower and property details must be submitted to CMHC when requesting mortgage loan insurance.
The increase applies to mortgage loan insurance premiums for residential housing of 1 and 2 units for homebuyers with less than a 10% down payment.
CMHC’s capital holdings reduce Canadian taxpayers’ exposure to the housing market and contribute to the long term stability of the financial system. In August 2014, CMHC increased its capital holding target from 200% to 220% of the minimum OSFI requirements.
In 2014, the average CMHC insured loan at 95% loan-to-value was $252,530. Based on this figure, the higher premium will result in an increase of approximately $5 to the monthly mortgage payment for the average Canadian homebuyer. This is not expected to have a material impact on housing markets.
Premiums in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec are subject to provincial sales tax — the sales tax cannot be added to the loan amount. | 2019-04-25T08:30:22 | https://mortgageteacher.com/blog/announcements/effective-june-1-2015 | [

I clearly remember writing this post. Strangely it’s a crystal clear memory, but there’s nothing memorable about it. There’s no interesting side-story. I just remember it.
This was not a strong opening.
AW #98 featured come pretty cool stuff.
The Canadian English/French bilingual 10-Pack is probably my favorite from the group.
Apparently it made me smile five years ago, it still worked five years later.

1. SIZE- of the micro dots using Beauty Medical’s technique is much tinier (equal to the size of the hair follicle) as compared to the dots in the other picture 1. In this case some practitioner had used permanent ink with commonly used tattooing machine and needle. As you can see the size of the dots created are almost 4-5 times the size of the human hair bulb. The diagram on the picture compares the sizes visually.
2. COLOR- the color difference in the picture 1 is clearly visible. The dots have over time turned bluish.
3. PIGMENT DIFFUSION- there is a diffusion or leaching out of the color/pigment so it gradually giving the scalp a bluish tinge. Repeating the same process will eventually leave the person with a uniformly blue scalp instead of the illusion of hair bulbs. | 2019-04-20T10:22:29 | http://www.fusehair.com/benefits-of-temporary-over-permanent.htm | [

In this path-breaking book, Dan Berger offers a bold reconsideration of twentieth century black activism, the prison system, and the origins of mass incarceration. Throughout the civil rights era, black activists thrust the prison into public view, turning prisoners into symbols of racial oppression while arguing that confinement was an inescapable part of black life in the United States. Black prisoners became global political icons at a time when notions of race and nation were in flux. Showing that the prison was a central focus of the black radical imagination from the 1950s through the 1980s, Berger traces the dynamic and dramatic history of this political struggle.
The prison shaped the rise and spread of black activism, from civil rights demonstrators willfully risking arrests to the many current and former prisoners that built or joined organizations such as the Black Panther Party. Grounded in extensive research, Berger engagingly demonstrates that such organizing made prison walls porous and influenced generations of activists that followed. | 2019-04-24T21:45:36 | https://burningbooks.com/collections/sale/products/captive-nation-black-prison-organizing-in-the-civil-rights-erahc | [

Click either city above for directions.
Free Shipping? Order a ROAR Cheer Head or Large size Sticker Head and get free shipping on your order.
If shipping is a concern please choose the store pickup option or contact us with other ideas. We ship hundreds of items a day through our storefronts above and know the best choices .
During Checkout give us your player’s school or team booster club details and a portion of your sale will be given back to them in support from Cheer Heads.
If you don’t know the full details just supply the school and sport or club your cheering for.
We have contacts and info for hundreds of clubs and will do our best to get the details taken care of for you.
Once you’re all checked out you’ll get a confirmation email and order number. When your item is ready for pickup or ships out we’ll contact you personally.
After your Cheer Head arrives, post a picture on our Facebook page or send us an email with a photo of you in the action. You never know, we just might like it enough to make you (Northand) famous.
If you haven’t yet, check us out on Facebook and like us there to share in the fun. We’re a small family run business and could use all the friends we can get. | 2019-04-22T07:04:19 | http://northlandcheerheads.com/details/ | [

Little interview of Nidia Msbm – photographer born in Mexico City, in 1991.
Can you tell us a little about México ?
Well, it’s one of the most populated cities in the world and sometimes it’s really chaotic, but I love living here, every day I find myself more and more of everything that happens, It is a city full of art, culture and many traditions, is probably one of the reasons why I love living here.
Give us a song which represent your work ?
Definitely my photos are a big part of who I am, so it would probably be some of my favorite music, I think some of Wilco, or maybe Sigur Rós.

“I’m looking for a disappeared person,” says the troubled voice on the other line. Many times the voice is that of a family member who hasn’t heard from their loved one since attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border — loved ones like a man named José, who went missing in southern Texas. Tucson-based human rights group Derechos Humanos commonly receives these sorts of desperate calls, typically in Spanish, on their Missing Migrant Crisis Line maintained in southern Arizona.
José, referenced by Derechos Humanos only by his first name, “disappeared” after U.S. Border Patrol had “fallen upon” his group in brush-lands near Falfurrias, Texas, dispersing the group and their guide in different directions. José’s story is one of 544 Missing Migrant Crisis Line cases documented by the group.
To “disappear” is a controversial term, especially when all the facts are not in. The authors don’t say so in their report—certainly the present-day focus is more pressing—but it’s useful to review the historical background of the term to understand its applicability today.
In 1966, an extensive counterinsurgency campaign erupted against members of the Partido Guatemalteco de Trabajo (Guatemalan Worker’s Party, led by Col. Carlos Arana Osorio, who was known as the “Butcher of Zacapa.” One of the first instances of the “disappearance” strategy occurred in March 1966, when security forces abducted, tortured and murdered 28 members of the party. Though confirmations of their demise came from participants in the mass arrest, the victims’ bodies were never discovered.
Even in 1981, as Amnesty notes in the report, “understanding of ‘disappearances’ is evolving constantly.” Today, in the case of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, border enforcement policies amount to no less than “a campaign of state violence against migrating peoples.” This violence, has resulted in deaths and “disappearances” since dramatic shifts in U.S. border and immigration policing strategy initiated in the mid-1990s.
The policy rationale, expressed in a 1994 U.S. Border Patrol planning document, anticipates that by heavily escalating security resources and infrastructure throughout the “traditional entry” points of urban border areas, border crossers “will be deterred, or forced over more hostile terrain, less suited for crossing and more suited for enforcement.” Such conditions have invited mass death and “disappearance.” At least 6,000 human remains have been recovered, but the actual number of death and “disappearance” is surely much greater.
One way to “disappear” in the desert borderlands is due to U.S. Border Patrol’s harsh “chase and scatter” tactics. Using an arsenal of military helicopters and all-terrain vehicles, attack dogs, and blunt force beatings and tackles, U.S. agents inflict psychological and physical injury upon their “targets.” These “commonly result in the disorientation and dispersal of individuals and groups into life-threatening terrain.” Of the 544 cases reported to the Missing Migrants Crisis Line, the Border Patrol’s “chase and scatter” practices account for 84 cases as the causal event of their “disappearance.” According to the authors, in 36.9% of these cases (31 out of 84), death was the result.
As the report indicates, the growing web of migrant detention facilities is another source of “disappearance.” Institutional knowledge of and responsibility for such “disappearances,” is a matter of policy: in fact, James Pendergraph, the former Executive Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s Office of State and Local Coordination, one said to attendees at the 2008 Police Foundation Conference, “If you don’t have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he’s illegal, we [ICE] can make him disappear,” according to a 2009 Amnesty International report.
Such “ambiguous losses” have haunted tens of thousands for the survivors of Guatemala’s Civil War, when the term “disappearance” was first used. Javier Alvárez’s father was “disappeared” in Guatemala in 1982, when Javier was ten years old. “You can imagine—in life, you miss your father, your mother. I would have liked to have enjoyed being with him, from the time I was small to when I grew up,” Alvarez told KPCC public radio. Recently, the Forensic Anthropology Foundation of Guatemala (FAFG), Colibri’s Guatemala-based counterpart, has gathered DNA samples from survivors like Javier to try to match them with the countless human remains still being unearthed in Guatemala.
Using a heavily charged term like “disappearance” is ultimately an accurate description that encompasses the devolved state of U.S. immigration and border enforcement strategies over the last two decades. Given the gravity of the term and its accompanying grief and suffering that haunts both the living and the dead, the missing and their loved ones, state-induced “disappearances” in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands stem from strategies that promise a fate worse than death.
Trump’s threats to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border would certainly increase the dangers of deterrence-based policies. But another less-discussed part of President Obama’s border enforcement legacies likely earmarked for expansion in the Trump era could be the continued militarization of Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala, which then-senior DHS staffer Alan Bersin called “now our southern border,” in 2012. Without greater national concern, the crisis of death and disappearance presages worse fates to come for migrants, their families and immigrant communities in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Gabriel Schivone is a writer from Tucson, Arizona, working on a book focusing on U.S. immigration and foreign policy in Guatemala.

YouTube Music review | What Hi-Fi?
Music streaming is all about the numbers – even more so than for the majority of businesses.
If your service doesn’t have tens of millions of tracks, can’t attract millions of paying subscribers or isn’t spending millions in royalty payments to artists, publishers and record companies, something’s wrong.
Google is no stranger to big numbers, of course – it acquired YouTube for $1.65bn back in 2006, a not inconsiderable sum even a dozen years later. Mind you, that’s against estimated YouTube revenue of $5.2bn as recently as 2016.
But for all its mind-boggling wealth, Google has proved dismally ineffective at crashing the world of music streaming. Google Play Music isn’t without its charms, sound quality chief among them, but consumers haven’t been willing to subscribe in anything like the numbers a service like this needs.
YouTube is currently the world’s most popular music streaming service – despite that not being its raison d’être – so Google is attempting to harness its ubiquity by formalising a music streaming service that’s easy to use and offers all the features of the market leaders. YouTube Music is the result.
There are some likeable aspects to it, including the free tier.
Naturally, it is supported by ads - though not as many as you might fear. For £10 per month, you get YouTube Music Premium, which avoids the ads and allows downloads for offline listening.
Up your spend to £12 and YouTube Premium allows ad-free access to YouTube Music and YouTube, with download functionality too. YouTube Music Premium Family costs £15 per month, and for that you can add up to six family members to your YouTube Music Premium subscription.
The YouTube Music app (there’s no desktop equivalent) looks sophisticated or bland, depending on your point of view. It’s certainly dark, but also cleanly laid out, with nice legible fonts and three main controls: ‘Home’, ‘Hotlist’ and ‘Library’.
‘Library’ is where the lists of songs, albums or artists you’ve liked, and playlists you’ve created, reside. ‘Hotlist’ is effectively a ‘trending’ page, currently featuring all music videos, though there are plans to include pure audio too.
Of course, YouTube Music is not alone in including music videos – all the big music-streaming players include them – but it is unique in having pretty much all videos.
‘Home’ is divided into tiers (or ‘shelves’), where curated playlists (‘New Electronics’, ‘Easy Rolling Pop-Rock Classics’ and so forth) vie for your attention with ‘Recommended Music Videos’ and numerous ‘More From…’ recommendations based on the artists you liked when you set up your account.
It also includes ‘Your mixtape’ (subtitled ‘endless personalised music’), YouTube Music’s sole discovery feature.
Being owned by the Emperor of Algorithms, you’d expect YouTube Music’s discovery feature to start making a few judicious recommendations in quite short order.
But despite a solid week of searching for music, listening to music and mashing the ‘like’ icon on our favourite artists and songs, our ‘Your mixtape’ selection remains predictable and uninspired.
The vast majority of the selections turn out to be music we already know by artists we’ve already confirmed we like. Tell YouTube Music you like Amy Winehouse (as we did, because we do) and Your Mixtape will include every one of her songs in next-to no time.
It’s possible to improve and/or expand the scope of your ‘discoveries’ by enabling location- and activity-based recommendations in the settings. If you’re at the gym or walking in the park, YouTube Music is happy to tailor its recommendations to suit your activity or the time of day.
Whether you’re happy to share this information with Google is a different matter.
In terms of catalogue, YouTube Music has a big one. We duplicate a number of our most successful Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music playlists with few problems – in fact, the only real anomaly comes in 10 songs to test your speakers, where Radiohead’s In Rainbows proves elusive (as does The Bends and the rather more disposable The King of Limbs).
But this is YouTube, of course, so we’re able to include the frantic The National Anthem in the playlist in video form, thanks to Connor Addison.
And this is where YouTube Music puts meaningful distance between it and other rival music streaming services. Thanks to the effort and enthusiasm of millions of YouTubers, there are a huge number of uploaded music files on YouTube Music that simply aren’t available on any other platform.
A moment’s discussion in the office turned up Ginger Thompson’s 60s gem Boy Watcher, James Ray & The Performance’s 80s grinder Mexico Sundown Blues and the turn-of-the century’s non-deeper deep house classic Deep Burnt by Pepe Bradock – all available on YouTube Music but on no other streaming service.
And there are plenty more where those came from, all just waiting to be streamed at your convenience - if you’re a YouTube Music subscriber.
But when it comes to sound quality, YouTube completely fails to stand out.
We’d find it hard to get behind any product if it doesn’t sound good, and the simple fact is that YouTube Music doesn’t sound good. It’s not a catastrophe (apart from some atrocious user-uploaded files - basically videos of someone putting a record on, you know the sort), but it’s really only just about satisfactory.
There is just one audio standard, and it’s YouTube’s default 128kbps – even if you’re paying monthly for the service. We don’t need to invoke Tidal Masters or Qobuz Hi-Fi – those cost £20 per month, after all – but Spotify is prepared to pony up 320kbps for just a tenner a month.
Heck, even Apple Music does better than 128kbps, and Apple has never really been all that hung up on sound quality.
As a consequence, any music we play, from Frank Ocean’s Nikes through Bicep’s Just to The Incredible String Band’s A Very Cellular Song, receives the same treatment.
Dynamic range is minimised, bass tends to be lightweight and treble sounds are rounded off.
The overall impression is one of compression – songs that should breathe deeply and take flight, such as Caribou’s Melody Day, sound like they’re being smothered by a pillow.
We’re deeply impressed by YouTube Music’s ability to turn up long-lost musical gems, and for that reason alone it’s worthy of consideration.
But if you’re as concerned about the way music sounds as you are about finding it in the first place, YouTube Music proves frustrating. | 2019-04-20T04:55:43 | https://www.whathifi.com/youtube/music/review | [

We are an adding another tax resolution company to the deceased list. Apparently Professional Tax Care of Los Angeles which started in 2008 is no longer operating. Phone calls seem to be rerouted to a call center called "The Tax Help Center."
I’m writing you because of some disturbing information I read on your blog under the title “Recommended Companies But With Some Reservation.” For the most part, your assessments on the mentioned companies are correct for the exception of # 7 – “Professional Tax Care”. You mentioned they started in 2003. I can only assume you received this info from either the company records or the BBB. Either way, this is untrue. Let me give you a brief synopsis of how “Professional Tax Care” got started and their name… I can say the things I do because I witnessed it all.
Chris Seminatore – President of PTC, got his start in the tax resolution industry through a company in Los Angeles that you may be aware of as… “Tax Care Professionals” back in 2008 after he answered an ad in craigslist. Keep in mind that Chris claims he never did tax relief before and was hired as an opener. Chris had been working for a few months there and for some reason he was doing really good at selling the services and becoming a lead sales rep. However, after about a month it was discovered that he was guaranteeing the services of tax relief to new prospective clients, therefore cranking up his sales. Once the director of PTC heard of this he was immediately fired on the spot and escorted out of the building while he was screaming that “this was all unfair”. Funny thing was, a few months go by and we heard of a new tax relief firm open up in Beverly Hills named “Professional Tax Care.” How ironic the resemblance of the two names… Tax Care Professionals – Professional Tax Care. Later it was discovered that Mr. Seminatore through the help of his girlfriend who had a lot of money, funded his dream of opening a tax firm mainly due to the fast money this type of business represents. You see, Chris was a failed director trying to make it in Hollywood for but for whatever reason could not get latched on to Hollywood. So since he failed in Hollywood, he figured he could play a president of a tax relief firm with only a few months experience under his belt. Now I’m sure he has surrounded himself with people who have done tax relief, but Mr. Seminatore is no one to be trusted. I enjoy the You Tube video showing him sitting very cordial with law books in the back as he spits out the lies he claims his company can do to help the people with tax problems. There’s a reason he has a low rating with the BBB, he has no experience in tax resolution. However, he does deserve an Academy Award for fooling the general public thus far. | 2019-04-26T04:20:00 | https://watax.com/blog/from-bbb-accredited-to-f-rating-to | [

"I wanted my own bed and my own ceiling, something confined, not the vastness of the stars, the puzzle of endlessness. I wanted to go home but I couldn't move."
Some writers have mastered the art of spinning fantastic tales, trotting out lies of mystery, romance, and high adventure that while barely believable still manage to entertain us. Others choose to cut closer to the bone of truth, making us turn to the author's blurb at the back of the book to see whether or not what we are reading is fiction or fact. Biel falls into this latter camp with his debut collection of linked stories, episodes from the life of his youthful protagonist, Matthew Davis, that seem too painfully real to be imaginary.
Set in the fictional community of Riverside in eastern Montana, Badlands blends the traditional elements of a coming-of-age story with an unvarnished portrayal of the cultural changes that were beginning to permeate small-town America during the Vietnam War era. While these aspects alone might make the book worth reading, it is Biel's development of other characters in his narrative that set this collection apart. For example, in the process of chronicling his narrator's personal journey to manhood, he is also exploring the lives of key individuals whose own successes and tragedies as they interact with his protagonist help shape the person Matthew will eventually become. In fact, Matthew's development at times seems almost incidental to the author's rich treatment of the other people he brings to life. One such individual is Matthew's best friend, Idaho Wells. In the earlier tales their adventures resemble those of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Yet as the years pass it becomes clear that Matthew doesn't have the innate leadership skills or cunning of Tom, while Idaho is a darker and much more tragic figure than Huck ever was. Idaho is a flawed hero, a fierce protector, and a doomed lover. Biel imbues him with incredible potential, but also paints his life with a realism that precludes a happy ending for him. Matthew's father is another complex character whose struggles to reconcile his growing atheism with his career as the pastor of one of the local churches impact the futures of those around him, especially his son. The pathos brought about by other characters such as Monica Rose and, especially, Terry McAuliffe also serve to enrich the narrative and draw the reader even further into Matthew's world.
Although the rich characterizations are arguably the finest elements in the book, a strong contender is the dead-on realism of the atmosphere. For instance, the almost warlike rivalry, hatred, and prejudice between the residents of Riverside and Pyramid, a neighboring town, should be easily recognizable to anyone who grew up in mid-America during the '60s and '70s. Many readers will also remember the intense polarization between certain segments of teenagers which erupted into periodic battles between groups labeled "Rednecks" and "Freaks." Nor does the author ignore some of the even darker dangers that have always faced some young people growing up such as pedophilia. In just twelve stories Biel manages to successfully revisit the drama, the rampant alcohol and drug use, the anti-war sentiments, and the rising social changes of the era.
Those who prefer their fiction to be softer or more far-fetched will need to search elsewhere. But for readers who enjoy stories that portray life as it was without sugar-coating the language or the truth, Biel's well-written look at growing up in a turbulent time period is a must read. | 2019-04-23T18:26:26 | http://www.theusreview.com/reviews/Badlands-Biel.html | [

Let’s look at Omnimarketing for Digital Health firms using John’s formula.
2. Inbound Selling- Plug your Sales Team into your Content Marketing and Social Media Marketing efforts. Support them with Linkedin Profiles, vale-added content they can share with their prospects, and train them on how to engage prospects in social media. Give them testimonials and case studies they can leverage to open doors with Health IT decision makers.
3. Social Media- Make social media a marketing and sales team effort. Train the Sales Team on how to engage, enter conversations, and add value on Twitter, Linkedin, and Google+. Provide them with the content support needed to deliver this value.
4. Outbound Marketing- Reach out directly to interested and qualified prospects with email, mail, and phone contacts. Invite these prospects to take the next step in the Buying Journey. Invite them to a webinar, a personalized online consultation, and ultimately a face to face sales meeting. Keep testing and tweaking the process based on actual results.
Omnimarketing is an integrated marketing approach that incorporates content marketing, social marketing, and social selling. Omnimarketing matches how your buyers access information, research solution options, participate in social media, and the devices and platforms they use to communicate. Omnimarketing meets your digital health decision maker where he or she lives online.
Omnimarketing isn’t a push marketing approach. It’s a systematic way to engage the right prospect at the right time with the right message using the right media platform on the right device. | 2019-04-20T10:50:15 | http://blog.modallic.com/digital-health-inbound-marketing-formula/ | [

TORONTO, Jan. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BELGRAVIA CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL INC. (CSE:BLGV) (OTCQB:BLGVF) (“Belgravia Capital”, “Belgravia”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the execution of a letter of intent with Fanlogic Interactive Inc. (“Fanlogic”) for the joint development of the world’s first unified cannabis automated industry loyalty rewards program. The program will be developed on a Belgravia/Fanlogic Blockchain proprietary platform. The revenue model will include set up fees, and the generation of commissions on smart-contracted incremental and tracked customer purchases.
The program will be customer accessible on mobile and other electronic media distributed apps. The blockchain-distributed app will provide real-time loyalty reward points to customers of licensed distributors and other legal distributors of medicinal cannabis and related products.
Belgravia is a technology-based finance service provider that is focused on the International legal cannabis industry. Fanlogic is a peer-to-peer social media company generating and retaining customers for B2C businesses. Fanlogic uses digital referrals, branded fantasy games, sweepstakes, and couponing and loyalty programs. This world-class leader is expanding its digital customer generation and retention system by integrating blockchain concepts into its proprietary SaaS platform. Blockchain models remove impediments to direct business-to-customer relations and real-time transaction completion and value enhancement. An example of value enhancement is real-time crediting of loyalty points on the completion of a digitally recorded transaction. Loyalty points will be generated as blockchain resident tokens.
The Letter of Intent covers the goals and specifications of the blockchain development program including: (i) reducing system management costs with smart contracts that report secure, tracked, and transparent transactions of off chain systems, (ii) reducing error and fraud costs; (iii) enabling frictionless systems by placing the entire customer rewards as tokens in the same digital wallet; (iv) increasing market value of the rewards by making the coins inter-operable that means exchangeable into other rewards and also providing a liquid market to get cash value if desired; and (v) making the entire process blockchain real-time, which means scalable to meet user need.
Belgravia Capital International is focused on the provision of clearly value-added services to the international legal Cannabis industry. This includes the production of specialized organic fertilizers for Cannabis Sativa plants, and the organization and development of blockchain technology software for seed-to-sale tracking and quality attestation of intermediate and consumer products. The wholly-owned subsidiary of Belgravia, ICP Organics, is a research and development company incorporating agronomic and health perspectives in the Cannabis space. Belgravia is also developing a royalty-streaming subsidiary.
Belgravia Capital intends to establish joint research and development partnerships with Licensed Producers operating under ACMPR regulations in Canada and in other jurisdictions where medicinal cannabis is fully legal. Belgravia Capital may invest in various private and public companies in diversified sectors on an opportunistic basis. For more information, please visit www.belgraviacapital.ca.

When I started this company in 2002 I struggled as anyone who starts a new enterprise with limited funds does.
to create a marketable product, deducted profit margins, making it very hard to grow the business.
I understand that a business must make a profit but I also experienced a lot of greed.
I held on and grew the company slowly employing the three aspects which ultimately lead to success: price, quality and service.
your life just a little bit easier!
Due to the US exchange rate along with increases in shipping and brokerage I had to adjust my prices accordingly.
Lip balm tube and tin prices include shipping (expedited) and handling for Canada.
Overseas shipping is expensive (expedited-air). Ocean is much cheaper but takes 4-6 weeks.
Please let us know if you prefer this and we will gladly send you a quote.
Stock - white, black, clear.
Tubes and caps are sold separately. I did this because previously (when they were sold as a unit) many customers did not want only white caps but wanted a variety.
The price (as separate units) is still the same as it was when I sold them as a complete unit and with shipping included I do believe it is the best price available.
Sleek, smooth top, - 2 oz tins .... Classy!
Lithographed tins. Great prices - 15,000 minimum.
Sample Package - 28.00 All sizes and styles of tubes and tins including printed tins. | 2019-04-18T11:02:32 | http://serftosurf.com/lipbalmfillingtrays.htm | [

This classic design tri-fold FPN (fixed penalty notice) holder is manufactured here in the UK. It has become a must have for Police, Security and Council officers looking for a neat and professional traffic folder in which to house their various documents.
The tri-fold design keeps ticket books separate on three distinct 'writing areas' and allows officers to keep long 'endorsable' and 'non-endorsable' tickets neatly. Made from good quality leather, and (amazingly) still manufactured here in the UK, this traditional traffic folder provides a sturdy surface with which to write tickets/notices, whilst keeping everything together and maintaining that important professional appearance. | 2019-04-22T00:20:12 | https://www.copshopuk.com/fpn-leather-holder | [

We weren’t sure about the name when we first heard it – The Screaming Eagle. It didn’t sound very relaxing, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. Celebrating our 5th anniversary as a couple, we decided something special was in order, and having dinner while relaxing on a king-size bed sounded like a real treat. And since eating in bed is one of my favourite things to do and I’m banned from doing it at home, I was glad for some guilt-free dinner in bed in Aruba.
There are normal dining tables at The Screaming Eagle, but if you’re going to go all the way to Aruba it’s worth splashing out on a meal in one of their beds! Adorned with crisp, white sheets, soft pillows and beautiful linen drapes, their four-poster beds fell like a private haven. You can’t see your fellow diners, but you can hear their satisfied chatter from adjoining beds.
We were shown to our bed and immediately kicked off our shoes and climbed into our comfy sanctuary for the next couple of hours. Once we were settled under our lap trays, our waitress listed the specials and asked us if we were celebrating anything special, then tucked in the curtains as she left to give us complete privacy. As we waited for our main course to arrive, we took photos and giggled at how naughty it felt to be eating a meal in bed!
The atmosphere is quite romantic, with soft lighting and gentle music (and the beds – but not too romantic!), and the waitresses feel a lot like they’re there to wait on you hand and foot! The great thing about the beds is that the memory foam mattresses mean that you or your dinner won’t be rolling about if your parter moves. That means no spillages, less crumbs and more of a good time.
You expect small portions when you visit a higher price restaurant, but The Screaming Eagle is a refreshing exception to that strange rule. We enjoyed three delicious courses, each one beautifully presented and filling the plate.
Tucking into a starter of tomato gazpacho, a main of asparagus in sweet bread, and a dessert of banana fritters with ice-cream, we had the most indulgent meal of our lives! It felt a little bit like a monumental Roman feast, but thankfully we didn’t end the night with nausea. It was too delicious.
As we were celebrating our anniversary, they surprised us with a slice of chocolate cake and a sparkler, which was such a lovely gesture!
After the cake, we were definitely too full to eat another bite, but were so pleased with such a great night out at a truly special restaurant. I’ve not been able to replicate the dinner in bed experience at home unfortunately, but that’s probably a good thing! | 2019-04-20T03:30:52 | https://thiscitylife.co.uk/dinner-in-bed-at-the-screaming-eagle-aruba/ | [

The final weekend of the Six Nations was certainly a busy one for Oakhamians - with both current and former students making their mark in this well-loved tournament.
Hamish, who joined Oakham aged 13, praises the School for not only nurturing and developing his talent on the pitch, but also supporting him along his journey to playing professionally. “I can’t thank the sports coaches at Oakham enough – they played a huge part in my success,” says Hamish. He fondly remembers his Director of Rugby and the Leicester Tigers ‘legend’ Ian Smith, driving him to various rugby trials at different stages of his career.
Whilst Hamish was part of the ‘main stage’ of events, two current Seventh Form students were also taking part in the U20 and U18 competitions. Sam took a break from his A-level studies to represent Wales in the U20 match against Ireland, whilst Jack scored in his debut playing for England Rugby U18s in their match against Scotland. | 2019-04-20T20:33:14 | https://www.oakhamschoolsport.co.uk/pu_NewsItem.asp?ID=70&NID=19015 | [

It's become a TV ritual: Every year in mid-January, around the time of Martin Luther King's birthday, we get perfunctory network news reports about "the slain civil rights leader." The remarkable thing about this annual review of King's life is that several years — his last years — are totally missing, as if flushed down a memory hole.
What TV viewers see is a closed loop of familiar file footage: King battling desegregation in Birmingham (1963); reciting his dream of racial harmony at the rally in Washington (1963); marching for voting rights in Selma, Alabama (1965); and finally, lying dead on the motel balcony in Memphis (1968).
An alert viewer might notice that the chronology jumps from 1965 to 1968. Yet King didn't take a sabbatical near the end of his life. In fact, he was speaking and organizing as diligently as ever. Almost all of those speeches were filmed or taped. But they're not shown today on TV.
It's because national news media have never come to terms with what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for during his final years.
In the early 1960s, when King focused his challenge on legalized racial discrimination in the South, most major media were his allies. Network TV and national publications graphically showed the police dogs and bullwhips and cattle prods used against Southern blacks who sought the right to vote or to eat at a public lunch counter.
But after passage of civil rights acts in 1964 and 1965, King began challenging the nation's fundamental priorities. He maintained that civil rights laws were empty without "human rights" — including economic rights. For people too poor to eat at a restaurant or afford a decent home, King said, anti-discrimination laws were hollow.
Noting that a majority of Americans below the poverty line were white, King developed a class perspective. He decried the huge income gaps between rich and poor, and called for "radical changes in the structure of our society" to redistribute wealth and power.
"True compassion," King declared, "is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."
By 1967, King had also become the country's most prominent opponent of the Vietnam War, and a staunch critic of overall U.S. foreign policy, which he deemed militaristic. In his "Beyond Vietnam" speech delivered at New York's Riverside Church on April 4, 1967 — a year to the day before he was murdered — King called the United States "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today."
From Vietnam to South Africa to Latin America, King said, the U.S. was "on the wrong side of a world revolution." King questioned "our alliance with the landed gentry of Latin America," and asked why the U.S. was suppressing revolutions "of the shirtless and barefoot people" in the Third World, instead of supporting them.
In foreign policy, King also offered an economic critique, complaining about "capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries."
You haven't heard the "Beyond Vietnam" speech on network news retrospectives, but national media heard it loud and clear back in 1967 — and loudly denounced it. Time magazine called it "demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi." The Washington Post patronized that "King has diminished his usefulness to his cause, his country, his people."
In his last months, King was organizing the most militant project of his life: the Poor People's Campaign. He crisscrossed the country to assemble "a multiracial army of the poor" that would descend on Washington — engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience at the Capitol, if need be — until Congress enacted a poor people's bill of rights. Reader's Digest warned of an "insurrection."
King's economic bill of rights called for massive government jobs programs to rebuild America's cities. He saw a crying need to confront a Congress that had demonstrated its "hostility to the poor" — appropriating "military funds with alacrity and generosity," but providing "poverty funds with miserliness."
How familiar that sounds today, more than a quarter-century after King's efforts on behalf of the poor people's mobilization were cut short by an assassin's bullet.
As 1995 gets underway, in this nation of immense wealth, the White House and Congress continue to accept the perpetuation of poverty. And so do most mass media. Perhaps it's no surprise that they tell us little about the last years of Martin Luther King's life. | 2019-04-25T21:56:00 | http://khemet.net/mlk.html | [

Tranquility- need I say more?
After a fifty minutes of travel, I have entered the so called “Tranquility Zone.” It is so called because someone actually thought to post a sign with tranquility in the label. The front tie down securing my kayak to the front of my Forester had come loose, but not undone. I was grateful I didn’t have to pull along the road on interstate 287 to fix it. This is my first kayaking trip of the season.
A view of the reservoir and dock.
The picnic tables near the dock.
The gentle rocking of the kayak under me has already subdued my mood. I am in a section that once provided ample growing room for trees. Apparently most of these are now partially to fully submerged under the water. Motor boats don’t usually come on this section for fear of damage to their engine propellers.
It is Friday morning and the temperature is hovering around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. It is no wonder that I am the only sole on the water. I figure, as long as I don’t fall in, I will be warm enough with my ugly fleece jacket over my life jacket. I put it over just in case I get warm. This way my life jacket will still be on when I need to take the fleece jacket off. Since I swim, but I am not the strongest swimmer, this is important.
As I sit here in my little alcove, forgotten are the events of yesterday. Well at least they don’t seem as important as they once did just hours ago.
I have a turtle that keeps surfacing for air and a yellow and black beaked, white swan for company. In the distance are the large trucks and cars as they carry their important cargo of materialistic supplies for the market place or people.
The trees on the hills surrounding the reservoir have started growing leaves as all along the ridge there are varying shades of green. At his distance some of the trees appear to look like cotton balls that have been pasted to some board as in a model train display.
My agenda is simple. I have none. IF I feel as I want to paddle around, I do. I have a couple of books to read and of course a snack. I realized that I forgot my water at home so I had to make a detour to get some from the 7 eleven on my way here. I have a simple rule when I go out and enjoy nature. Water don’t leave home without it.
Storms clouds appear to be rolling in. It looks as though a rain shower is on the way. I guess I should paddle back. I decide to load up my kayak and drive down to the other end of the reservoir. There are large dark clouds in the sky. I sit in my vehicle and observe an older gentlemen unload his yellow kayak and gear and proceed to start out into the water. I begin to question his sanity or do I question mine? For I still want to be on the water even in the face of the pending storm. I decide it was the appropriate time to head home before I find myself out there in the storm.
As I drive home the storm clouds maintain their dark presence in the sky. I exit from route 280 at the Livingston Avenue exit and there it is a lovely blue sky with white fluffy clouds. There is apparently no evidence of mother nature’s wrath. While unloading my kayak my neighbor stated what lovely day it was to be out on the water. Well for a time it was a lovely day, I thought.
Lovely imagery. Makes me want to take on the Delaware bay nooks and crannies. Thanks for sharing! | 2019-04-18T20:58:23 | http://geeknormal.com/a-visit-to-the-tranquility-zone-by-barbara-dexter/ | [

[post_content] => TIRANA, April 7 - A simultaneous operation between April 3-5, carried out in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Italy and which saw the involvement of some 600 law enforcement officers, led to the arrest of 64 members of an Albanian-speaking organized crime network.
[post_content] => TIRANA, April 5 - In an interview for German media Deutsche Welle on Thursday, head of the opposition’s Democratic Party Lulzim Basha said the united opposition will not be returning back to the parliament and that the political crisis is real, but also an opportunity to finally give Albanians a democratic system if the Socialist government resigns.
“I remind you that German partners in the German Bundestag recognize these problems, we have raised these concerns a long time ago, since almost a year. Unfortunately, things this year did not improve, but have deteriorated. Not only that, but now we have official evidence of government cooperation with organized crime. The opposition's abandonment of parliament is without a return, the political crisis is real, but this is an opportunity, a great opportunity, not just to remove a crime-related government, but to give Albanians a democratic, functional system that serves them and not just the political parties or simply the political class,” Basha said.
[post_content] => TIRANA, April 5 - The Albanian government approved on Thursday an amendment in a previous Council of Ministers ruling that foresaw the state-ownership of the country’s southern coastline so that private investors can eventually build resorts along it.
The ruling, dating February 27, was published in the government’s Official Book and was later deleted, also due to pressure from neighboring Greece, as there is Greek minority living in Himara whose properties would be affected under the law.
On Thursday, the government approved the law’s suspension only for the part of the coastline starting from Vlora and ending in Saranda - which includes all the locations inhibited by Greek minority landowners.
“Real estate properties according to Point 1, located in the areas where the initial registration hasn’t concluded, will register under the administrative responsibility of the Ministry of Tourism, after the initial registration process of the private properties located at the cadastral areas included in this ruling has been finalized,” said the ruling approved on Thursday by the Council of Ministers.
On Monday, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told the media he’d been informed of “negative developments” concerning the Greek minority living in Albania, and that, given it was true, it could affect Albania’s EU path, which is also determined by Greece’s support as a EU member state.
A day later, the CM ruling was deleted from the government’s Official Book, while on Thursday Greek national TV ERT reported Tsipras and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama even had a phone call regarding this particular issue.
According to ERT, Tsipras and Rama spoke about the necessary reforms for Albania’s opening of EU accession talks, however it was also reported the core of the conversation was the draft law which affects the Greek minority’s properties and Tsipras’ ultimatum for it to be amended.
However, the amendment that will allow private property owners to finalize mortgaging processes will not be applied to the other parts of the coastline - a fact which, just as the February 27 ruling itself, has drawn criticism from political experts and international representatives in Albania alike.
For over a year, the government has scanned the most profitable areas and on Friday published in its Official Book at least 67 maps with all areas that will guide local units to suspend passing agricultural land ownership to ex-agricultural enterprise benefitors, for those areas prioritized for tourism development.
This “state ownership”of property by law has been criticized from political experts as anti-democratic and worrying, while anonymous sources told Tirana Times the law - and its amendment - did not go unnoticed by a number of ambassadors to Tirana.
[post_content] => TIRANA, April 5 - Economy expert and analyst Artan Hoxha said on Thursday the solution to the deadlock are early elections that will allow both government and the opposition to compete on an equal ground and that, according to the IPR Marketing survey results published on Wednesday, opposition parties would receive 80 mandates in the present political situation.
“They are two eggs which are bumping and one will soon break. As Dr. Noto said, the opposition’s egg is getting stronger,” Hoxha said, referring to Italy’s IPR Marketing Director Antonio Noto, who faced criticism following the publication of the survey.
“We have a government intertwined with crime, a judicial power visibly under the government’s rule. Institutionally, it seems like a problem without solution. Just like the vicious circle that comes round and round and cannot stio. There is only one break of this vicious circle and that would be a new electoral process that places the parties under equal conditions of competition, which can come through a transitory government that will do nothing but give a message to criminal gangs, that this model has no future,” Hoxha said during an interview for Ora News.
“The question would be this: if the political elections were to take place on April 3, who would you vote for? Opposition parties were at 53 percent, the Socialist Party at 44 percent, while other parties stood at 3 percent, where parties such as the PBDNJ, PDIU are also opposition. So the ratio is at 55-45. If these were translated into parliamentary mandates, the opposition would take 80 mandates and the government 60. So we have a public reversal of the voting inclination inherited from the 2017 elections. The majority in the nation today is a minority and the political minority of 2017 today is the majority in popular support,” Hoxha said.
[post_content] => TIRANA, April 4 - Italy’s IPR Marketing published its first national survey on Wednesday, where among 2000 voters - only 31.3 percent of whom come from Tirana - 62 percent wish to leave the country.
Asked whether they’d leave Albania if given the chance, IPR concluded that 62.2 percent of Albanians would leave given the chance, 35.1 percent would stay, and 2.8 percent said they don’t know what they’d do.
Concerning Prime Minister Edi Rama’s governance, 29.5 percent said they believe the PM is positive, while 34.7 percent gave negative answers. A total of 7.2 percent said they are not able to judge the government’s work.
Further on, concerning the criminality in the country - which is a main topic of political discourse and one of the main reasons Albania has still to open accession negotiations with the EU - compared to the last three years, 53.4 percent of Albanians think that crime in the country has increased. Few are those who think the opposite, where 17.0 percent think this phenomenon has declined. There are 23.6 percent of Albanians who think the crime is on the same level as three years ago.
The survey also touched on the perceptions voters have on the economic progress over the last three years, where 20.9 percent of Albanians think that the economy has improved, while 43.3 percent think that the Albanian economy has deteriorated. Meanwhile, 34.7 percent of citizens think that the economy hasn’t moved in three years.
In addition, 60.1 percent of the population listed unemployment as the most pressing problem seeking solution, whereas 53.2 percent believe corruption is most pressing and 45.4 percent regard poverty as Albania’s biggest problem.
Interestingly, 49 percent of those surveyed said they believe Albania is not heading in the right direction, 40.8 percent expressed an opposing view and only 10.2 percent they don’t have an answer to this question.
Compared to three years ago, 18.5 percent of the surveyed said Albania’s living standard has risen, while 39.7 percent believe its living standards have deteriorated. Meanwhile, 40.5 percent said the living standard has remained the same.
IPR Marketing, one of the leading companies in Italy, specializes in research, studies and analysis of public opinion and market for more than 26 years, with successful international experience.
“We are used to attacks from all over the world. Because they see us as wizards, but we are not, we do a scientific job, not magic. Surveys are attacked by the loser and this is not only in Albania but everywhere. But over the years, confidence in surveys has grown,” head of the IPR Antonio Noto said.
[post_content] => TIRANA, April 4 - Albania’s opposition held on Wednesday its eighth protest, which kicked off in front of the parliament and ended close to the government building.
Meanwhile, inside the parliament, most people were involved in debates with opposition representatives on the electoral reform, following the decision to postpone the Reform Committee for one more month waiting for the Democratic Party and the Socialist Movement for Integration to accept the invitation to conclude this process, which is also one of the recommendations of the European Council to open accession talks with Albania.
This time around, the majority of protesters came from DP and SMI youth forums, while there were many who held slogans reading the word “GO,” addressed to Prime Minister Edi Rama. Even among youth, moments of tension were present when a group of protesters tried several times to break the police line at the parliament’s entrance.
Protesters then moved to the boulevard while holding a paper pyramid, at the top of which was Rama’s name, symbolizing the pyramid of crime and corruption which, according to the opposition, is headed by the Socialist government.
Close to the government building, the pyramid was set in flames while the protest concluded with the return of the opposition leaders to the DP headquarters’ yard.
Members of parliament who refused to resign their parliamentary mandates and others who have replaced their opposition MP colleagues ever since they decided to boycott the parliament, debated the majority over the electoral reform.
The debates were prompted by yesterday's Socialist Democrat Damian Gjiknuri's proposal to postpone the Reform Commission for a month, in order to allow the opposition parties to join this process.
According to MP Rudina Hajdari, who is one of the few DP MPs who refused to resign their parliamentary mandates, said the majority should establish a dialogue with the opposition MPs now present in the parliamentary hall.
“This commission was established with the previous MPs. We don’t know what you discussed with them, what their proposals were and what they want to achieve with this electoral reform. This is a new parliament and you have to accept this reality. You have to accept new proposals. You have to accept the mandates of that commission expired on February 21, 2019,” Hajdari said, referring to the date the opposition decided to resign its parliamentary mandates and continue protesting to demand Rama’s resignation and the establishment of a caretaker government that can bring about early elections.
Rama, on his part, explained the majority’s proposal to postpone the reform commission is merely a sign of a good will to conclude the only process which remains open with the opposition, pointing out however they will not wait indefinitely, while reminding it was the DP that insisted to Include the Electoral Reform on the European Council’s recommendations for opening accession talks with Albania in June.
“We will wait as long as it is permissible. If, on the part of the European Union and the European Commission it is made known the electoral law can stop here, before a decision to open the negotiations is reached, because it is written in the text, we will stop here and refer only to OSCE/ODIHR recommendations, excluding other elements,” Rama said in parliament.
Despite the recommendation from the EP, the decision on whether aspirant countries will open accession negotiations remains to the member states.
In this context, Albania’s political situation does not help the country receive a positive decision, while the results of the European elections will also be decisive in the position that the member states will take.
[post_content] => TIRANA, April 3 - Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy to Tirana Leyla Moses-Ones announced on Tuesday that help towards the High Judicial Council will soon lead to the creation of the Court against Corruption and Organized Crime.
She said that whoever thinks the ongoing justice reform will fall behind is mistaken, echoing her own words during the AIIS conference “70 years of NATO, 10 years of Albanian membership” which took place on March 21.
“This is but one example of how the United States continues to work hand-in-hand with Albanian and European partners to help Albania with Euro-Atlantic integration and rule-of-law. We are seeing this in justice reform efforts. The High Prosecutorial Council will soon bring about the prosecutors of the SPAK, and then the National Bureau of Investigation,” Moses-Ones said.
Further on, she added that it’ll be US assistance towards the HJC which will finally lead to the creation of the Court against Corruption and Organized Crime.
“Our assistance to the High Judicial Council will soon lead to the Anti-corruption and organized crime court. U.S. Department of Justice officials are mentoring Albanian prosecutors, who are already bringing about notable prosecutions — and we expect more. The United States supports all of Albania’s new institutions, such as the Councils and the SPAK, as well as existing institutions that are willing to fight against corruption or organized crime. Justice reform is moving forward, and it won’t be stopped,” Moses-Ones concluded.
The US Embassy’s Chargé d'Affaires made these remarks during the ASP Case Management System Upgrade Inauguration organized by the Ministry of Interior.
Valuing the opportunity to mark an important milestone in the modernization of the State Police, Moses-Ones said she is proud to celebrate the continuous close partnership between the state police and the US government.
Moses-Ones’ words were echoed by the German Ambassador to Tirana Susanne Schütz in an interview for the local media Monitor a few days back.
Schütz said the country’s ongoing justice reform and its vetting process are successful and have contributed positively in improving Albania’s image in the eyes of foreign investors. | 2019-04-19T18:46:42 | http://www.tiranatimes.com/?cat=28&paged=3 | [

Greeting cards businesses have not been rendered obsolete by emojis and e-cards. In fact, in an increasingly impersonal digital world, the meaning and value of each physically given greeting card have increased. For many would-be entrepreneurs, greeting card businesses have the benefit of being something you can start from your home for very little money. Here are a few tips on how to start a greeting card business using print folded cards.
If you’re running your own greeting card business, you need to find a niche that isn’t dominated by major chains. For example, you could create cards for occasions that are hard to find a card for in the store. Or you could market the product as supporting local artists. Another possibility is creating uniquely funny cards or groups that aren’t represented, whether it’s different religious denominations or greeting cards in less common languages.
One issue you face is finding who will buy your cards. You can try to connect with small gift shops looking for inventory that distinguishes them from the mass market. Network with people who make gift baskets and would like to be able to order greeting cards that fit with the special occasions they support.
One benefit of this approach is that you can find under-served vendors who would love to sell your product. Another benefit is the fact that you could drum up new customers, diversifying your customer base and protecting you against failure if one customer closes shop.
A second strategy is finding companies that would buy the products you want to produce. One benefit of this is that you could get your business going once you secure your first major customer. The downside is that if you rely on just one or two big customers, their decision to shift product mix could affect your business.
A third strategy is trying to sell your cards online. This allows you to sell products directly to your customers. This could be gratifying, and it may let your business grow via word of mouth referrals once a few people are happy. It could allow you to sell cards for specific occasions that there isn’t a major market for. The downside is that it requires you to increase your prices to cover the price of the product, shipping, and handling. In some cases, you could secure lower overall prices by arranging print folded cards online, where others order your designs printed by a third party and they are shipped to the customer. This eliminates your need for inventory.
One option is buying greeting cards from wholesalers and printers. Another option is using your own artwork and having custom folded cards printed through websites like print24; now you own the intellectual property rights to the artwork and can profit from it. Or, you could sign a licensing agreement to use the designs of your friends, and then you can pay for cheap folded cards decorated with their designs. If you’re working with a printer that accepts orders online before sending you the profits (after their costs), you’ll need to finalise your business arrangement before you say you’re in business. If you’re going to hand-make cards, you need to make them before you can sell them.
Once you have some inventory, you’re ready to start selling. We suggest having an inventory before you start selling because you cannot afford to have people place orders for something they need as soon as possible when you don’t have it on hand. If you allow custom orders, advertise that on your website, business card, and social media profile. If you already have a few customers lined up, you can count the products as sold when your customers have paid you for them.
Suppose you’ve successfully sold a large part of your initial production run. Run the numbers across all of your product designs. The most popular designs could be ordered in larger quantities from a folded card printing shop while you can delay making more of the items you still have in stock. The benefit of this approach is that you don’t end up sinking money into inventory that doesn’t sell, much less the hassle of selling it at a discount and potentially undermining your brand.
If you’re making the cards at home, you can now plan on ordering cardstock, ink and other supplies based on your demonstrated “burn” rate or the speed at which you’re going through those items.
If you want your greeting card business to be successful, first identify your chosen niche and then pick a business plan to profit from it. Start making an inventory or secure the business contracts to have the stock made. Only then can you start selling and build a solid customer base. | 2019-04-20T17:09:40 | https://priceofbusiness.com/how-to-start-a-greeting-card-business/ | [

The main objective of CSO business project is to introduce into the market the innovative MD-SD-OCT, a new ophthalmology instrument, which is able to detect, with a single tool, a range of optical pathologies wider than the state of the art technologies are capable to support, with higher performances and significant reduction of manufacturing cost. This target has been reached through the integration of traditional topography approach (Placido's disk) and innovative patented Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (ref. WO 2014/155286 A1), into a single, compact and flexible diagnosis device, real breakthrough for the market at the state of art. As a results of the technology innovation proposed and due to the usage of a less expensive technology invented by CSO (new SD-OCT management system, covered by international patent), the overall cost of the device is significantly lower than the existing applicable technology (about 40% less). CSO - with higher performance, significantly lower cost and new double technology MD-SD-OCT - will be able to improve its competitiveness in the market of ophthalmology diagnosis devices.
Design and monitoring of specialized contact lenses.
During the first year of the project, all the technical issues related to the existing prototype have been solved and TRL #7 has been reached while EC type-examination activities are running in order to get to #8.
Five prototype’s evolutions have been realized and tested with excellent results.
The small-scale production of the first 15 items to be validated in operational environment is started.
TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENT: represent a benefit in terms of competitiveness for the end user. The technology at the state of the art, is not able to provide the integration of two different diagnosis systems.
PRICE: significantly lower price. The customer will pay less, for an higher performance device.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT, in terms of image resolution, measurability of all the are covered by the diagnostic device and in terms of accuracy of the output, thanks to the new patented SD-OCT technology.
RELIABILITY of the medical result: it will allow detecting pathologies in an early state and, at the same time, avoiding false detection.
Cataract is the process of progressive loss of the lens transparency. This process, linked to phenomena of oxidation of the proteins that form the lens, is the result of a biochemical phenomenon that occurs with increasing age. The increase in life expectancy has already led to an increase in the number of cases, so that today the intervention of cataract removal is one of the most performed in hospitals all over the world. It consists of the removal of the opaque crystalline and the implementation of an artificial lens. MS-39 can be useful to evaluate opacification of the lens and above all to calculate the power of an artificial lens best suited to the patient according to his needs and to the shape of the structures of his eye.
Glaucoma is an important disease because it can cause irreversible damage if not detected in time, and, if not treated properly, can cause serious damage to the eye or even low vision and blindness. Among the risk factors of glaucoma are anterior chamber narrow angle. The device can capture and measure the irido-corneal angles and assess this risk.
Corneal transplant is an operation aimed at all diseases of the cornea that reduce visual acuity or opacity of the tissue (post-infectious or post-traumatic scars, corneal dystrophies or degeneration) or its distortion (keratoconus, trauma). The operation involves replacing the damaged tissue with a donor cornea.
The new corneal flap, which restores the transparency of the cornea, allows the patient to recover vision. The high resolution of the images of the anterior segment sections allows to assess with a certain facility the outcome of a corneal transplant and to carry out measures for the evaluation of the optical quality after surgery. The ability to measure very accurately the anterior corneal surface makes it an important instrument for planning refractive surgery, to correct defects of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

The Fourth » But he had a welcome mat!
But he had a welcome mat!
Do you want to know how dedicated to this comic I am?! I drew most of this in a car, on my vacation (to the snowy mountains, in fact) – that’s how much! It wasn’t easy, either. It caused for my hand to jump around a lot, leading to some weird expression quirks that I think actually turned out for the better.
I learned a lot from this comic. Not just how to draw in the car- I realized I had no clue what a syrup bottle looks like off the top of my head.
ik…in order to do it, i need to buy a tablet. u kno, those digital art thingys.
Hehe! I know very well, silly. I use one to make this comic and most other things I draw. They are SO WORTH IT. And I’ve had mine for five or six years; it still works great.
Hey now, we wouldn’t want to milk stereotypes for humor, now would we?
I’ve noticed a lot in comics and other things that people who slam open doors usually know what’s on the other side of it… Case in point, the lumberjack slammed open the door and immediately started yelling, so he must have already known that villains were in his cottage, drinking his syrup. Also, I spy with my little eye two voltorbs in the crowd!
Gotta say though, I think I laughed more for this page than any other.
He saw them through that massive window which seems to have been open during a snow flurry!
We are totally above making fun of Canadians.
The NPCs from Idenau’s northernmost provinces, however, are fair game.
This page is great because I just got back from a vacation to Niagra Falls.
Is that so? I hope you had fun! I went there a few years back. It was the only time I’ve been to Canada and I actually did hear a lot of people saying “eh?” I was highly amused.
I sure did! My family and I stayed at a really nice hotel called Embassy Suites, where we enjoyed a complementary buffet breakfast and a room on the 21st floor with an amazing view of the falls. Sure enough, the first guy we spoke to had that funny Wisconsin accent, eh? But we were much more amused by the other tourist groups and some of the people at our hotel: Amish, Asians, Hasidic Jews, Indians, people in turbans… the list goes on.
Yeah, my family stays at Embassy Suites often on our vacations. My parents enjoy the free drinks in the afternoon. =P And I will too next year when I’m 21.
dude….is that the wizard from the temple of generic er doom? at the head of the mob?
No, it’s the lumberjack, silly Although they both have SUCH INTENSE EYEBROWS that they must be related.
…I repeat my comment from the last page, and use this one as proof about the lumberjacks. | 2019-04-22T11:05:51 | https://www.thefourthcomic.com/?comic=lol-title-4 | [

DreamWorks is at it again, this time snatching up the rights to Atlantis Rising from Platinum Studios. Atlantis Rising is created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg who will act as one of the co-producers for the live action adaptation.
In “Atlantis,” seismic disturbances at sea force world militaries to investigate the deepest part of the world’s ocean, where an underground civilization emerges to wage war with planet Earth.
Ah, I get it now; Spielberg was so happy with War of the Worlds he’s hoping his movie company can hit a home run again with this flick.
The final installment of Atlantis Rising will arrive on store shelves toward the end of the month, no word on when we might see the film in the local theater. | 2019-04-20T11:05:25 | http://majorspoilers.com/2008/04/16/atlantis-rising-to-the-big-screen/ | [

PERFECT CHIN: BRING OUT YOUR BEST PROFILE!
The double chin is a family heirloom that we could do without! It adds a burden to the face, destroys the profile and has an overall deterrent effect. Although it usually appears when we're overweight, it can also come to light without being overweight and then ... there is no point in losing weight, the double chin will always be there!
The principal active ingredient in PERFECT CHIN is glaucine, an alkaloïd extracted from Glaucium plant. This plant grows on the sands of the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.
This natural compound helps address the problem of unsightly sagging skin.
In addition, PERFECT CHIN contains Argan Oil. | 2019-04-24T00:47:50 | https://harmonylife.co.uk/menton-efface | [

I was quoted 150 for professional services and i just couldnt afford that. Whether you prefer a shade that leans brown or embraces orange this hair color instantly adds warmth and depth to your look. When choosing a hair color the trick is to complement your skin tone in order to minimize flaws and bring out the best in your complexion.
Picking the wrong shade can be a disaster for your.
Rich auburn hair color. Red hair may be bold but auburn is its rich super flattering cousin. I love this hair color. If you have naturally dark hair and want a dye job that looks great even as its growing out try delicate red shifts in color starting halfway down your face. The first step in any dye job is a strand test using a quarter inch wide section of hair above your ear underneath the top layer of hair.
Note exactly how long the dye should stay on to reach your desired color. Go auburn this season with lily collins deep mahogany rihannas monochrome chestnut or any of the following celeb renditions of auburn hair. You know why youre here. You want natural effective hair dyes that work.
3 pieces intensifying hair color line precisely calibrated to work with the natural undertones of dark hair delivers high reflective color and intense shine. Choose from a range of blonde brown brunette black red ombre hair color shades. This is exactly the color i imagined for myself and i went from a dirty blonde to this. Lily collins is a known for having tried everything.
Our henna hair dyes bond with your hair dont just chemically coat while the ayurvedic herbs condition the hair and scalp. Explore at home hair color products and hair dyes by loréal paris. | 2019-04-22T17:26:39 | http://inspectioncompany.us/rich-auburn-hair-color.html | [

E-Estonia : How did they do it?
Estonia is probably the only country in the world where 99% of the public services are available online 24/7. E-services are only impossible for marriages, divorces and real-estate transactions, you still have to get out of the house for those.
The population of Estonia is 1.3 million & Australia has around 25 million, the United States 326 million, and China 1.38 billion (ZDNet). Estonia is not a developing country, either, with IT accounting for 7% of its GDP and agriculture less than 1%. Although it is a young country.
Estonia has been a pioneer in converting public services into flexible e-solutions for its citizens. The implementation of the Government Cloud solution provides an excellent platform for public e-services.This makes Estonia the most digital country in the world.
How did Estonia do it?
The Estonian Government Cloud has lead to the modernization of existing information systems. Estonia has embraced the opportunities offered by cloud technology to allow more agility in provision of e-services by the government agencies and critical service providers to residents and e-residents.
Government digitisation started in the ’90s, and by the year 2000, its first digital service was set up.
Estonia first introduced e-tax declaration, offering an innovative way of doing taxes that the citizens were keen to adopt. And that was the idea: Introducing a better way of performing something that was hectic, rather than digital for digital’s sake.
It only takes three minutes to do taxes in Estonia. The country is now moving to full automation, where companies don’t actually need to declare tax at all, as the information such as, salary payments is automatically sent to the government.
Since the concept was introduced in 2002, 98% of Estonians own an ID card, which is the key to using all the digital services. In Estonia, when a person is born, they’re assigned a personal ID code, it’s mandatory to have one.
There is no data kept on the Estonian ID card. It’s a PKI system, where users authenticate themselves with PIN one and seal the deal with PIN two. There’s a public key and a private key on the microchip, but no data.
This is how citizens access all of the services.

A few weeks earlier Chris’ friend Eileen asked me what to look for when searching for South African wines. I told her some of the labels to look for and the Minnesota Importer label on the bottle, who I am friends with. With the tools provided she was now on a hunt for really good South African wines priced lower than expected.
The Bachelorette is winding down. Its down to four guys tonight. It was another night of food and wine. What will the girls bring this tine? Eileen came early with a bottle of South African Chenin Blanc.
So a bit of information on Chenin Blanc. The Loire Valley is the home birthplace for Chenin Blanc. It now calls South Africa as its second home where it is called Steen. The grape may have been one of the first to be grown in South Africa by Jan van Riebeeck in 1655, or it may have come to that country with Huguenots fleeing France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.
Aromatic, young-fruity with aromas of lemon and lime.
Dry, medium-bodied with balance acidity. Complex crisp mouth feel.
The Chenin Blanc was really good. I could see you serving this wine with a light salad, white fish or pork. I rated the 2013 Landskroon Wines “The Sundowner” Checnin Blanc four glasses. A great find by Eileen! | 2019-04-26T01:04:59 | http://www.billswinewandering.com/2013-landskroon-wines-bush-camp-the-sundowner-chenin-blanc/ | [

Local artist, Kedgar Volta, will present ǝɯ embellished tonight, Wednesday, October 3, at downtown’s Hispanic Art Walk from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. on the corner of West Monroe and North Laura Streets, across from the Jacksonville Public Library (333 North Laura Street). ǝɯ embellished is a public art project that challenges viewers to examine how self-perception aligns with public perception when we abandon our usual appearances.
Volta spent the last several months shooting peoples’ portraits at places like the Burro Bar, Riverside Arts Market and Art Walk. The subjects willingly abandoned their usual appearance in favor of poses that emphasize the strange and uncomfortable. Volta captured more than 600 photos and will reveal 300 of them as part of tonight’s exhibit. Each photo is 18”x18” and all 300 are mounted together and will cover the outside of the Magnificat Café. This public art project should garner plenty of curious onlookers and will serve as one of the focal points of tonight’s Hispanic Art Walk.
You can find more event information on Volta's ǝɯ embellished facebook page. | 2019-04-21T12:20:53 | http://downtownjax.firstcoastnews.com/news/arts-culture/83894-tonights-art-walk-hundreds-put-their-worst-face-forward | [

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (CBS/WJTV/AP) Three members of the University of Southern Mississippi football team who were shot during an altercation at an off-campus nightclub early Sunday morning reportedly apologized to their coach for "letting the team down."
Linebackers Martez Smith, 22, and Tim Green, 21, and defensive lineman Deddrick Jones, 23, were shot around 1:30 a.m. Sunday after a fight broke out in Remington's Hunt Club and spilled into the club's parking lot, according to Hattiesburg police.
Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora declined to discuss details Monday after visiting with the players who all remain hospitalized in fair condition. Smith and Jones apparently spoke to Fedora, but the coach says Green wrote his message because he was unable to speak due to his injuries.
No arrests have been made and police have not released any possible suspects; however, Hattiesburg police spokesman Sgt. Allen Murray said the shooting was possibly gang related.
"We will do all we can to assist these young men and their families, as well as assist the Hattiesburg Police Department in its investigation of this event," said University of Southern Mississippi President Martha Saunders, according to CBS affiliate WJTV.
Smith, a fifth-year senior interdisciplinary studies major, was the team's starting middle linebacker before a season-ending knee injury last month. Jones, a junior from Bastrop, La., has started all 10 games on the defensive line, making 26 tackles this season. Green has made four tackles in the seven games he has played this season and he too is a junior interdisciplinary studies major.
"During this difficult time our thoughts and prayers are with these three members of our Southern Miss family, Martez, Tim and Deddrick, as well as their families," Fedora said in a statement released by the school. "These three men are an integral part of the success of our football program and we will continue to keep them in our hearts and hope for a speedy recovery."

Last week a customer brought to our attention a program that her nephew is doing for Veterans. I can't put it in better words than she did!
"Troy, a medic with the military serving in Washington DC volunteers his time to veterans in Washington DC. Because of his medical experience, he makes it possible for veterans with medical issues to have the opportunity to visit the museums and monuments that honor them and mean so much to them, by accompanying them on these adventures. He also spends time with veterans at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
"The age of the veterans he volunteers with are young men and women in their 20s through our remaining WW2 veterans.
"A close neighbor and friend of Troy's suggested this project, wanting to surprise him with hats to give to these veterans. These hats will be going to Walter Reed Hospital patients.
"Thank you to everyone who takes the time and energy to knit a hat. You are helping a special person in his efforts to improve someone's day."
We are encouraging people to knit hats of any color, size, style - women's or men's. Washable, easy care yarn is best. We have yarn and pattern suggestions if needed. This is an ongoing effort to help support our veterans.
***UPDATE: Troy was so touched by all of the hats donated that it brought a huge smile to both his face and his wife's! They couldn't wait to give them to the veterans to bring a smile to their faces too. | 2019-04-22T22:47:01 | https://nitroknitters.com/blogs/news/tagged/military | [

The majority of species and cultivars can be propagated from cuttings or offsets, however all can be easily grown from seed. Just be aware that selected cultivars and hybrids will not grow true to the parent plants.
All Mammillaria seeds are small; in fact they will seldom exceed 1 m in diameter or length. So to make sowing easier use a toothpick with the tip moistened to lift each seed and set it in place on the compost. For very fine seed mix well in with some fine, dry, silver sand, and sow the seed/sand mix across the surface of the compost.
Using a good quality cactus compost, fill suitable pots, pan or a modular seed tray to 1-2 cm from the top of the pot. If proprietary composts are not available then you can consider creating your own mix using 1 part of loam based compost (John Innes No 3), 1 part washed, sharp sand and 1 part of fine vermiculite. Mix thoroughly and then put through a 5mm sieve.
Good quality proprietary composts should all have been heat treated prior to packing to ensure the product is sterile. If you are keen to maintain sterile condition, and even then only using only plastic products, place the filled pots into a tray and carefully add boiling hot water to the compost until the water reaches to just below the rim of the pots. Leave to stand until the compost in the pot has become soaked through. Avoid boiling plastic pots as they can become misshapen, instead clean with a bleach solution before rinsing thoroughly. Previously used terracotta pots can be boiled, but only by starting off in cool to warm water before heating up. Adding terracotta pots directly in to boiling water can cause them to crack.
Once cooled, the seeds can be sown sparsely onto the surface of the compost and then pressed into the surface. Do not bury the seed. Add a thin layer of vermiculite to the surface of the compost to help prevent the seeds from moving when watered. Water gently in and continue to keep the water moist throughout the germination process. Never allow the compost to become waterlogged. Tap water is preferable to rainwater.
Move the pots or trays to a heated propagator and maintain a temperature of between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. With fresh seed you can expect a germination rate of between 40-50% with the first seedlings emerging after 5-7 days, and then with the rest appearing after 4 weeks. Older seeds will have a lower rate of germination and can take up to a month before they start to emerge.
Unlit they are about 3mm wide the seedlings will be just featureless green globules, but after after a month the first signs of spines will appear at the top. pricking out should not be attempted until at least a year has passed. By thus time the seedlings will be robust enough to withstand handling without too much risk of root damage. When replanting take care to ensure that the soil level is not higher than it was in its original container. | 2019-04-22T23:05:20 | https://gardenofeaden.blogspot.com/2016/11/how-to-grow-mammillaria-from-seed.html | [

But, what is noticeable in the survey is, while articles rank number one on the type of content that publishers want to see, numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the list are different varieties of content. Can you see them on the infographic above? The content variety that makes up 64% of the survey results are infographics, mixed-media pieces, data visualizations, images, videos and interactive maps. These all fall under the category of visualized content. That’s what most publishers want to see.
If you’re still not convinced, here is another latest data that might convince you to change they way you do your content marketing.
Have you heard of Pinterest? Of course! It is one of the popular social media sites whose main appeal is the way it works as a digital bulletin board where users can “pin” and share images of things they like, from food and recipes to clothing and shoes. They’re so popular not just to users but to investors that they are biggest pre-IPO companies that has an $11 billion valuation.
A recent survey by Millward Brown, visualized by BI Intelligence , shows that 32% of active Pinterest users have bought something in a store after seeing it on Pinterest, while more than half of the respondents said Pinterest helps them find products they want to buy. Three-fourths of them said they had visited a retailer or a website after browsing Pinterest. Boom!
1. Content marketing should be part of your SEO strategy.
2. Content marketing should not be limited to articles alone – use visualized content.
What specific steps can you take after reading this? Just one thing for me. What I did with the marketing team of one client was, after planning out the SEO strategy where a major part of which is content marketing, decide to hire a full-time professional graphic artist. And, the next thing I would be pitching to is getting a video specialist on board to widen the variety of the content we produce.
For your own SEO practice, this may mean outsourcing your graphic content to someone else. For others it may be similar to what we did – hire a graphics person full-time. How you apply this is up to you. Just make sure to use visualized content as part of your content marketing and SEO strategy.

The pupils in Years 3 and 4 have worked extremely hard this term to produce a superb musical version of Treasure Island.
They performed with great enthusiasm and singing and acting skills were excellent.
They received many well-deserved compliments from the audience and clearly felt very proud of their achievements.
Adam: I liked it when it was time for an encore – everybody was joining in.
Hector: That was the best play I’ve ever done.
Joshua: This is the best play I’ve ever been in and it was extremely fun.
Ivo: My part in the play may not be very big but it was fun bringing on the treasure chest and sniggering at one of the jokes.
Atholl: My favourite line was “Avast, you scurvy rodent”, because everyone laughed.
Ben: My favourite song was ‘Cheese on toast’ because it made the audience laugh.
Tiegan: When the play started I was really scared but when we got on the stage it was calming.
Flora: I thought the play was amazing and my favourite bit was when Ben Gun caught a fish.
Thomas: My favourite part of the play was when Samara (a mouse) tried to climb up Jim’s arm!
Amber: The play was so exciting! It is a very funny play because Jack says, “I’ve had enough of ships I’d be better off on the wagon”. It made a lot of parents laugh. | 2019-04-18T23:08:35 | https://www.skippershill.com/school-life/news/years-3-4-treasure-island/ | [

My new book OUTLAW, a thriller set in Burkina Faso, is now in bookshops and also on Amazon (Outlaw). The first review came in yesterday, and thankfully it’s a good’un.
In the same style as the American cover for Hacking Timbuktu, the new OUTLAW cover features an ice-cool dude and improbable gravity. Nice.
Outlaw does not come out in the States until November 2011, but it is already available for pre-order. | 2019-04-26T11:39:09 | http://www.voiceinthedesert.org.uk/page/23/ | [

West African palm wine music, by the 1920's, was morphed into highlife in the country of Ghana —becoming the country's most popular and identifiable genre—and is the core substance of Time For Peace. Led by Ghanian native Selasee Atiase, now residing in America, The FaFa Family delivers roots reggae inflected with a soft undercurrent of highlife, and heartfelt inspiration of gospel and soul.
Prepared with a strong music background and acknowledged as a gospel singer back in his homeland of Ghana, Selasee has been around long enough in reggae circles to have released two previous records, "Run," in 2005, and "African Gate," in 2009. If third time is the charm, this could be the one that garners him recognition for his efforts.
Having the bassist and musical director for the legendary Wailers, Aston "Familyman" Barrett, as the producer and mentor on the record was a major advantage. His experience and expertise are evident starting with the title track on which he plays bass. Selasee expresses naturally and comfortably the positive vibrations which are prevalent and essential in the reggae message, and have become the genres characteristic emotion.
In an obvious homage to his homeland, "Mama Africa" "Stop The Rain," and especially "Which One," are pure African, the latter complete with an afro-beat pattern and accelerated tempo. But the pulsing Caribbean rhythm groove is foremost in "The Love," "Your Life In My Life," "Baby Sister," and "Like The Water," which is an easygoing float downstream.
Reggae, as many genres, has gone through its ups and downs in popularity and has been affected by other styles of music from rap to techno, but the classic roots reggae with its Rastafari connotation most identified with Bob Marley, has always been the standard by which genuine artists of the genre are measured. Selasee, by choice adheres to this tradition, and has captured the spirit that this music represents and upholds. As the title implies, Time For Peace, is music created on the golden rule, hopes for a better world, and peace on earth —who can beat that. | 2019-04-18T22:29:55 | http://selasee.flipswitchpr.com/artist/8556/press_clips/6205/white | [

A YouTube audition video helped East Meadow School District’s W.T. Clarke High School junior Matthew Michaelis earn a spot in the Macy’s Great American Marching Band, which was featured in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 20.
The famous marching band has been spotlighted in the parade since 2006. The finest high school musicians from across the United States attempt acceptance to this ensemble, which is directed by Auburn University’s Dr. Richard Good.
W.T. Clarke music teacher Molly Ingoglia encouraged Matthew to submit an application and audition video with hopes of placement in the brass percussion section for the Euphonium. He is among 30 brass percussion members that were ultimately chosen for the 225-person band that included musicians, flag holders and dancers.
In addition to performing at the parade, the band also made an appearance on NBC’s Today Show on November 19.
The district was proud and excited to see Matthew represent W.T. Clarke High School, and looks forward to seeing him again next year! | 2019-04-22T15:33:56 | http://www.eastmeadow.k12.ny.us/News/Story.aspx?id=72330 | [

Convincing evidence from numerous studies indicates that carbohydrate feeding during exercise of about 45 minutes or longer (Jeukendrup 2004, 2008; Jeukendrup et al. 1997) can improve endurance capacity and performance. Studies have also addressed questions of which carbohydrates are most effective, what feeding schedule is the most effective, and what amount of carbohydrate to consume is optimal. Other studies have looked at factors that could possibly influence the oxidation of ingested carbohydrate, such as muscle glycogen levels, diet, and exercise intensity. Mechanisms by which carbohydrate feeding during exercise may improve endurance performance include the following.
Maintaining blood glucose and high levels of carbohydrate oxidation. Coyle et al. (1986) demonstrated that carbohydrate feeding during exercise at 70% of V.O2max prevents the drop in blood glucose that was observed when water (placebo) was ingested. In the placebo trials, the glucose concentration started to drop after 1 hour of exercise and reached extremely low concentrations (2.5 mmol/L) at exhaustion after 3 hours. With carbohydrate feeding, glucose concentrations were maintained above 3 mmol/L, and subjects continued to exercise for 4 hours at the same intensity. Total-carbohydrate oxidation rates followed a similar pattern. A drop in carbohydrate oxidation occurred after about 1.5 hours of exercise with placebo, and high rates of carbohydrate oxidation were maintained with carbohydrate feeding. When subjects ingested only water and exercised to exhaustion, they were able to continue again when glucose was ingested or infused intravenously. These studies showed the importance of plasma glucose as a substrate during exercise.
Glycogen sparing in the liver and possibly muscle. Carbohydrate feedings during exercise “spare” liver glycogen (Jeukendrup et al. 1999), and Tsintzas and Williams (Tsintzas et al. 1998) discussed a potential muscle glycogen sparing effect. Generally, muscle glycogen sparing is not found during cycling (Jeukendrup et al. 1999), but it may be important during running (Tsintzas et al. 1995).
Promoting glycogen synthesis during exercise. After intermittent exercise, muscle glycogen concentrations were higher when carbohydrate was ingested than when water was ingested (Yaspelkis et al. 1993). This finding could indicate reduced muscle glycogen breakdown. But the ingested carbohydrate was possibly used to synthesize muscle glycogen during the low-intensity exercise periods (Keizer et al. 1987a).
Affecting motor skills. Few studies have attempted to study the effect of carbohydrate drinks on motor skills. One such study investigated 13 trained tennis players and observed that when players ingested carbohydrate during a 2-hour training session (Vergauwen et al. 1998), stroke quality improved during the final stages of prolonged play. This effect was most noticeable when the situations required fast running speed, rapid movement, and explosiveness.
Affecting the central nervous system. Carbohydrate may also have central nervous system effects. Although direct evidence for such an effect is lacking, the brain can sense changes in the composition of the mouth and stomach contents. Evidence, for instance, suggests that taste influences mood and may influence perception of effort. An interesting observation provides support for a central nervous system effect. When a hypoglycemic person bites a candy bar, that person’s symptoms almost immediately decrease, and the person feels better again long before the carbohydrate reaches the systemic circulation and the brain. The central nervous system effect may also explain why some studies report positive effects of carbohydrate during exercise on performance lasting approximately 1 hour (Jeukendrup et al. 1997). During exercise of such short duration, only a small amount of the carbohydrate becomes available as a substrate. Most of the ingested carbohydrate is still in the stomach or intestine. Studies in which athletes rinsed their mouths with carbohydrate (but did not ingest any) during 1-hour time trials showed performance improvements similar to those that occurred when the athletes ingested the carbohydrate (Carter et al. 2004). Others (Pottier et al. 2008) recently confirmed these findings.
The typical pattern of exogenous glucose oxidation rates is shown in figure 6.6. The labeled CO2 starts to appear 5 minutes after ingestion of the labeled carbohydrate. During the first 75 to 90 minutes of exercise, exogenous carbohydrate oxidation continues to rise as more and more carbohydrate is emptied from the stomach and absorbed in the intestine. After 75 to 90 minutes a leveling off occurs, and the exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rate reaches its maximum value and does not increase further. Several factors have been suggested to influence exogenous carbohydrate oxidation including feeding schedule, type and amount of carbohydrate ingested, and exercise intensity. | 2019-04-18T18:51:28 | http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpts/excerpts/carbohydrate-intake-during-exercise | [

How to Become A Certified Translator: How do I become a licensed translator?
How do I become a licensed translator?
Question: How do I become a licensed translator?
Answer: You have to be careful when calling yourself a licensed translator because depending on what country you are in there are restrictions on what it means or how you can become a licensed translator. To make matters more confusing in some states or countries you may be referred to as a registered translator instead of a licensed translator. Make sure and do some thorough research before earning credentials and once you do make sure you spell out what type of certified or licensed translator you are, by using the initials or abbreviation of the certification or licensing program. | 2019-04-22T18:27:18 | http://www.becomeatranslator.com/2010/08/i-become-licensed-translator.html | [

This Tuesday I had the privilege of meeting James Payne, Executive Director of the Fort Walla Walla Museum. We toured the newer Entrance Hall located at Fort Walla Walla and pictured above. In addition to the entrance hall, the Fort Walla Walla Museum complex includes a pioneer village maintained by living historians from April to October, a horse agriculture exhibit, a military cemetery, multiple exhibit halls, and a research center. My comments today will focus mostly on the entrance hall and secondly the museum complex as a whole.
The museum contains an outstanding collection of artifacts that are historically relevant to the Pacific Northwest and to the nation, and span timeframes from pre-settlement to the First World War. The exhibits themselves are readily accessible to the public while simultaneously illuminating the bigger historical picture in an understandable, uncluttered, and straightforward manner. Professionals and volunteers on staff maintain the museum, archives, records, and research facility on fifteen acres. Of note, the museum recovers onsite artifacts with its own staff archaeologists, preserves cultural artifacts, and conserves historical documents.
In addition to the museum featuring original military uniforms, gear, and firearms used at the fort, the grounds display artillery from the First World War and Fort Walla Walla army unit the 2/146th Artillery Battalion (see the picture above). United States Civil War exhibit points out local family connections and includes a unique photograph of President Lincoln. Buffalo and Indian soldiers who served at Fort Walla Walla also appear in similar displays. However, this museum emphasizes a complete picture of lives in the Pacific Northwest and the military is just one aspect of that image.
The transportation exhibits show the nature of early travel in the Pacific Northwest, while the agricultural exhibits display how improvements in technology increased production. The exhibits continue to excel at highlighting multiple dimensions of history while not sacrificing detail. The plateau Indian bead work collection donated by the Lloyd family best exemplifies this. The Lloyd family exhibit retells how a settler family was able to initiate, maintain, and grow a peaceful co-existence with plateau Indians of the inland Pacific Northwest—unlike many of their neighbors. Other exhibits illustrate different periods in history, including a diorama of Lewis and Clark meeting Yellpt of the Walla Walla people, a display of early fur-trading equipment, and a textile exhibit displaying formal dresses from mid-Victorian times to the 1950s.

It's about time I detail what I'm brining to the Tenkara USA Summit 2017. I do this every time I take a big trip somewhere. This one is easy. It's a short flight and only 4 total days and three nights. I travelled to Japan with a back up bag, the Transporter 40 from Osprey. It's like a duffle bag with shoulder straps. Compact, it will stuff easily overhead or under the front seat in an airplane. Traveling with a single carry on bag is quite liberating. It's truly the way to travel.
I don't use a dedicated camera so I use my iPhone 7. I take notes with it and it's just a great little computer.
For a little more computing power, I use my MacBook. I'll push my presentation out of it. It's so small and compact, it take up very little space.
I'll be staying in a home in Estes Park but I'll still carry on a quilt and pillow, it's just so small and compact, and more importantly, warm.
My fishing gear is already quite compact so that's no big deal. I use the same thing everywhere, that list changes very little.
Clothes are simple. No cotton, all performance cloths that perform if wet and well, they wear well for more than just a day. I tend to use clothes that do double duty. All of the list do that. | 2019-04-22T00:11:49 | http://www.tenkara-fisher.com/2017/08/tenkara-usa-summit-2017-packing-list.html | [

Last month, I attended the PMI Global Congress in Phoenix, AZ, and of course one of the hottest topics at the congress was the PMI-PBA credential. With the announcement of the PMI-PBA pilot recipients, there are now 185 PMI-PBAs worldwide and that number is expected to grow quickly!
With so few who’ve passed the exam so far, everyone has a lot of questions on how to best prepare for the exam. Here are some of the questions and answers that came out during the PMI Global Congress.
When is Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide (BA Practice Guide) coming out?
According to what we heard from the PMI Global Congress, PMI’s BA Practice Guide will be available starting December 1, 2014. It will be a free download for PMI members for six months and then will be a for purchase publication. See more details.
Will the BA Practice Guide help prepare for the PMI-PBA exam?
Yes. The Business Analysis Practice Guide addresses best practices in business analysis aligning tools and techniques to the domain and tasks of the examination.
Will emphasis on traceability in the PMI-PBA exam continue?
No. PMI has been developing new questions for the exam bank with the goal of developing a broader range of questions. Traceability will still be important to study; however, be sure to study all of the PMI-PBA domains and tasks to ensure you are well-prepared for the breadth of the exam.
Where can I find information on what the examination covers?
PMI has provided an Examination Content Outline that provides details on the domains and tasks with domains along with tools and techniques covered. This is a high-level view of business analysis but does provide insights to knowledge a candidate needs to have for certification success.
Does PMI have any other resources for PMI-PBA preparation?
Yes, PMI has published a Reference List of materials useful in preparing for the PMI-PBA examination.
What resources does Watermark Learning have to help me in preparing for the PMI-PBA examination?
Watermark Learning has been working hard since the PMI-PBA credential was announced to bring you great study materials. See below for resources and availability. Join PMI-PBA list to be the first to get announcements of new resources available.
I have somewhat stumbled across this site in my search for information regarding PMI-PBA and the IIBA certifications (including the new Sept 2016 for the latter). My organization has recently established a “business transformation” team that includes PM and BA personnel, as well as others such as tech writers and OCM specialists. Each of our positions will ultimately require a certification relevant to their area of expertise. For PM’s we have defined this to be CAPM and PMP, but for BA’s we are struggling to chose between IIBA credentials and PMI-PBA. The latter seems like an up and coming certification but even today there is not a great deal of training aligned with it outside of boot camp courses. Given Vicki James dual BA credentials, I was hopeful she could offer a perspective on which path to follow. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Jim, thank you for reaching out to Watermark Learning! One of the owners (both have dual BA credentials) will post a lengthier reply to your comment in a couple of days. They are currently traveling for a speaking engagement. In the meantime, please visit our blog contrasting PBA and CBAP. Thank you!
Your question is a very good one, but not easy to answer. Here are some considerations to help you decide which is best for your team.
o The application is cumbersome to complete, although less so than in the past.
o Two references are required.
o As with all such designations, it’s important to understand the related body of knowledge rather than relying on personal experience which varies from organization to organization.
• There are other levels of IIBA certifications.
o There is an entry-level for those who have knowledge about business analysis but no practical experience. For example, they might have studied it in school, but never worked in that role.
o You might want to consider the CCBA would be the best for some of your team. It’s roughly equivalent to the CAPM for project managers.
• The PBA is perfect for a hybrid BA/PM role, for consultants, and for trainers. One of the blog links below will take you to an interview with a hybrid PM/BA who just got her PMI-PBA designation.
Although applying for both the CBAP/CCBA and PMI-PBA requires actual BA experience on projects, a strong case can be made for showing how doing tech writing, for example, uses BA skills. That’s certainly the case for OCM specialists as well. It’s a question of understanding what IIBA and PMI mean by business analysis experience and showing that the work done, regardless of title, is business analysis work. I used such experience to get both my CBAP and PMI-PBA in my current role as CEO.
I hope this helps. The links below will take you to additional Watermark blogs on the subject (newer than the one you ran across) as well as the IIBA certification information. | 2019-04-22T10:49:33 | https://www.watermarklearning.com/blog/ba-practice-guide-pmi-pba/ | [

Welcome to my travel blog. My name is James Frazermann and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel many places throughout the world. Many people would argue that world travel changes a person in very positive ways, making their vision wider and enrich their creativity.
The next best thing, or for people planning future trips is to read about other traveler’s eye opening experiences. I thought it would be great to document my experiences in South East Asia and beyond, in hope to deliver some value to others who wanted to go these locations or simply learn more about these countries and their wonderful culture and people. I look forward to seeing the new blog grow and hearing what readers think about it. It’s really a pleasure to write about.
Philippines and Thailand were two of the highlights of my travels. Both countries had their own unique benefits and things to enjoy. In Bangkok I ventured to the Pakkred Babies Home Orphanage, a place desperately in need of funding and assistance of all kinds. A life changing experience, it truly illustrates the differences between the East and West when it comes to the most disadvantaged people and the situations they are forced to live in and make it through. Bathing elephants and tasting the abundance of cuisine Thailand has to offer was also high on the lists.
Swimming with whale sharks, Kawasan Falls jungle trek, and staying on NoaNoa Island were also standout adventures for me in the Philippines. And of course, who could forget the filipino smile everywhere you go!
So take a look round, and hopefully you can pick up some travel tips and get a brief glimpse into what South East Asia has to offer. | 2019-04-21T11:00:50 | https://www.jamesfrazermann.co.uk/ | [

Winter 2014: What are values doing in the village?
What are values doing in the village of Notting Hill and Kensington this winter of 2014? Well, to give some background, 2013 was an unprecedented year for prime London property with double digit price rises recorded in most areas. It was a classic case of demand outstripping supply as swathes of buyers scrambled for limited stock. We expect price growth to be less dramatic in 2014 as more properties come to the market ahead of anticipated tightening of planning and tax policies.
Potential amendments in planning policy regarding basement excavation is likely to encourage homeowners to obtain planning consent before the policy changes; giving them the option to sell their houses with planning consent in place. Additionally, George Osborne’s proposed changes in capital gains tax on overseas sellers could spur these vendors on to sell before the new tax comes into force. Any increase in interest rates is likely to be modest and we feel this will only have a marginal impact on the cash-rich prime central London market.
While prime central prices may increase at a slower rate, our North Kensington and Bayswater offices saw tremendous prices rises in 2013, which we expect to continue. The success of the prime markets in 2013 has caused a ripple effect in Kensal Rise and Queens Park, and even as far out as Harlesden. In these areas, vendors are frequently selling properties 5-10% ahead of guide price.

Litecoin reached a new record today, extending its recent gains and increasing its year-to-date (YTD) returns to more than 4,000%.
The digital currency, which is a fork of digital sibling Bitcoin, rose to as much as $186.89, according to CoinMarketCap.
After starting out 2017 at $4.33, this latest high represented a YTD return of roughly 4,215%.
While Bitcoin has had a great year, breaking through several price levels and enjoying a meteoric rise, Litecoin has experienced an even stronger rally.
Bitcoin has risen to as much as $17,364.56 on the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index (BPI), representing a YTD gain of more than 1,600%.
The digital currency has climbed even more by some measures, surpassing $18,300 on CoinMarketCap and rising more than 1,800% for the year.
While these figures are impressive, generating countless headlines about Bitcoin's sharp climb and all the so-called "Bitcoin Millionaires" it has produced, Litecoin's YTD gain is more than twice that of its digital sibling.
Bitcoin and Litecoin have both pushed higher this year, but this is certainly not he first time that the price of the two cryptocurrencies have risen in tandem.
Earlier this year, a CoinDesk article described Bitcoin and Litecoin as "birds of a feather," emphasizing that the two have frequently followed each other in their price movements.
This development has led some to speculate that Litecoin is simply riding Bitcoin's coattails.
Tim Enneking, managing director of Crypto Asset Management, recently stated that the former currency is "absolutely cruising in BTC’s wake!"
He emphasized that while Bitcoin has been generating headlines, Litecoin has not announced any major updates as of late.
While the aforementioned explanations may provide a better sense of why both Bitcoin and Litecoin have pushed higher this year, certain analysts have started offering different points of view.
Some of them have asserted that Litecoin is a "Bitcoin hedge," as the latter currency's network is dealing with a high level of unconfirmed transactions.
Mati Greenspan, senior market analyst for eToro, was in this camp.
"Litecoin is more scalable by nature and with bitcoins mempool currently flooded with unconfirmed transactions Litecoin is looking much better than BTC as a medium of exchange," he said.
Charles Hayter, co-founder and CEO of digital currency platform CryptoCompare, also agreed that Litecoin is a Bitcoin hedge, stating that while the two are very similar, the altcoin has greater upside potential and less downside risk.
Other market observers took a different tack, describing Litecoin as an investment that has been receiving tailwinds as market participants flock to cryptocurrencies.
"All the attention paid to bitcoin in the past few weeks has served as a rising tide for all cryptocurrencies," he said.
"But with bitcoin overbought at the moment and Ethereum relatively flat, they're turning to Litecoin -- a grande dame crypto with reliable underpinnings and enough similarities to bitcoin that they're comfortable buying."
"We're going to see a lot of value flow into alt-coins driven by portfolio diversification and realization of gains," he stated.
"In a speculative market, with new non-savvy entrants, the alt-coins that will do the best are the ones with highest accessibility. With LTC being provided across the main exchanges - i.e. is highly accessible to the average investor, it is no surprise to see a large chunk of the Bitcoin to Altcoin flow towards LTC." | 2019-04-24T02:13:44 | https://www.forbes.com/sites/cbovaird/2017/12/11/litecoin-hits-latest-all-time-high-up-more-than-4000-year-to-date/ | [

Jennifer Lopez was spotted front row at Chanel’s spring 2012 show with boyfriend Casper Smart and her adorable daughter in tow. The little girl held on to Casper for comfort away from the flashing light bulbs as the young family garnered a great deal of attention.
One of the reasons they were in the limelight (aside from being in the front row) was because Jennifer couldn’t look any better. The white lace dress is flattering on her well-toned body and the Chanel purse looks great too. The bag is going to be spotted on many trendy ladies and style blogger this coming spring as soon as it hits stores.
It’s called the Chanel boy bag but it’s so pretty and feminine. This purse features gold and black leather trim with signature Chanel CC lock and heavy chain strap. It’s a fresh alternative to the classic flap bag look and a uber stylish one at that. Expect to be seeing a lot of it next year! | 2019-04-19T14:45:52 | http://blog.baginc.com/tag/runway/ | [

Because no two power systems are exactly the same, the sequence of operation for paralleling switchgear should be custom-designed to meet the requirements associated with the project application. To reduce guesswork and ambiguity, Kohler Power Systems takes a chart-based approach to documenting how a system responds to normal operations and system failures. See how this intuitive approach ensures that your system will operate at full potential with no surprises.
Load management systems are often useful to industrial management and facilities engineers. They allow engineers to control when a load is added or shed from a power system, making paralleling systems more robust and improving power quality to critical loads on a power generation system. While very application specific, the load management process is consistent for any system This three-part series explores practices in setting up load management systems along with guidelines for seven load management methods.
Understanding how generator ratings are determined is simple, but there is a long list of variables to consider. We’ll review the basic fundamentals of generator ratings. But first we’ll look at a recent industry discussion about specific ratings for generators in data centers and examine what’s necessary for these facilities.
The grounding of an emergency system and its ground-fault protection are determining factors in choosing a 3-pole or 4-pole transfer switch. On systems using a 3-pole ATS, the neutral is continuous through the whole system. This is a solid neutral, bonded to ground at the utility service entrance. On systems using a 4-pole ATS, each source’s neutral is bonded to ground at its source. To ensure you’re specifying the correct type, it is important to understand grounding and ground fault protection.
Electrical generation systems need to communicate with peripheral devices, other generation systems, building management systems and remote monitors. A number of technologies are used to enable communication between electrical generation systems and other equipment. If you’re involved in specifying, installing or maintaining electrical generation systems, you’ll find it helpful to understand how these communication technologies work to meet your needs and the requirements of the building.
It's important for standby power systems to function after natural events such as hurricanes and seismic events such as earthquakes. Standby power systems located in regions where earthquakes are possible should be International Building Code (IBC)-certified to function properly after a seismic event. While the IBC is not a federal government mandate, its adoption has been encouraged — and in some cases required — to ensure funding coverage by the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA).
Published and updated every three years by the International Code Council, the International Building Code (IBC) not only deals with life-safety and fire protection regulations for building and structures, it also addresses wind load design requirements for both buildings and components attached to them. When specifications call for IBC wind rated products, it is necessary to verify the product has been tested or analyzed for IBC compliance. To familiarize building owners and power system specifiers with the wind load compliance provisions of the IBC with respect to power system equipment, Kohler Power Systems has created this instructional white paper focused on what goes into qualifying for IBC wind load certification. Specific topics include the parameters that determine wind load, general wind load installation notes, as well as installation and mounting considerations, and more.
The dynamic interactions of motors and gensets make manual genset sizing difficult, if not impossible. Not only is sizing an application with large motors complex, but different genset manufacturers have different approaches for specifying a standby power system that will function reliably. This eight-page paper aims to supply power system specifiers with a background to select the most cost-effective and reliable genset for motor-starting applications.
Explore the options available in standby and emergency power applications to share the total load among multiple, smaller gensets, and the benefits achieved. When connected in parallel, a multiple genset installation can maximize system reliability, availability, fuel economy and operational flexibility.
Critical-needs facilities are required to have standby power systems that can survive seismic events and still continue to operate. These requirements differ depending on geography, local soil conditions and even where a power system is located within a building. | 2019-04-20T01:13:52 | http://www.kohlerpower.sg/industrial/library/white_papers.htm?sectionNumber=13261&nodeNumber=3&contentNumber=304 | [

SPRINGERVILLE, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say four more wild horses have been found dead in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in eastern Arizona.
Forest officials said Monday that the latest dead horses were discovered last Thursday inside the Heber Wild Horse Territory.
They say that brings the number of deceased wild horses found since October to 16 in the forest’s Black Mesa Ranger District.
Of that total, authorities say 10 horses had evidence of gunshot wounds.
Five were severely decomposed and their causes of death remain undetermined while one other horse died of blunt-force trauma typically associated with a motor vehicle collision. | 2019-04-23T09:11:41 | https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/11/4-more-wild-horses-found-dead-in-an-eastern-arizon/ | [
