Spring 2019 Updates to The Content Strategy & Marketing Course Curriculum
This March, the curriculum for our All-Access students received an update!
If you know me, you know I'm incredibly active in my industry of content marketing. Always learning, soaking in, creating, working on standing out and speaking truths, not to mention launching new things.
I consistently update the contents of CS&M, reviewing it once per quarter and updating with new curriculum videos and training at least once per year.
When I launched the course in late 2017, it was with a goal to create the foremost-leading content strategy education in the field.
Over 80 students have enrolled in the course to date, many of which are seeing serious career success following putting this training knowledge into action. My accompanying book, which has organically sold hundreds of copies in dozens of countries, has even been listed in the Top 100 content marketing books by BookAuthority.
A goal as big as an industry-leading course requires a ton of work: over 1,000 hours of my time went into crafting, writing, filming and producing the curriculum. I hired more than three experts (editor, producers) to help me create it along the way. And, today and tomorrow, I stay committed to this goal by ensuring factual accuracy and currency of the curriculum, and updating the course contents regularly.
Haven't seen the curriculum for The Content Strategy & Marketing Course yet? Review our Curriculum here.
Course Update: The Summary of Our Spring 2019 Updates
Here's a summary of the changes inside our All-Access Content Strategy & Marketing Curriculum.
First, I created and uploaded a new orientation section with five short lessons to complete and review. This was built for easier navigation, BSE (Brand Strategy Exercise) certification understanding, and immediate workbook access for new and current students. If you're a current student, you'll see a new, easier tabulated navigation style set up and the new orientation area when you login, if you haven't seen it already.
My goal with this update was an improved setting when students interact with the curriculum, so they know where to go right away for the intensive exercises and resources. It's such a massive curriculum and training, navigation is a challenge!
Next, I also created and uploaded seven new videos that went inside the curriculum, across all six modules. In the last eight years of creating video, my video process has changed quite a bit, all the way from getting more natural and free-flowing on camera (less stiff and more confidence just from a ton of practice), to better lighting, backgrounds, and audio. So, I thought it was high time to replace some of my 2017 videos in the curriculum.
Check out the difference in warmer lighting tones and a more natural presence — new video curriculum video filmed a few weeks ago on the right, old video curriculum on the left. Also, side effect of time: longer hair!
This March, I also had the pleasure of meeting with one of my Content Strategy & Marketing Course students in person in Austin, Texas. After talking to her about the course, I added a new resource to the orientation section – a primer to SEO and online writing techniques. Thanks for pointing out the gap, Shana! (Read Shana's story and her experience with the course here.)
Current student? Login now to access your new lessons.
The Story Behind the Content Strategy & Marketing Course
Along with the new curriculum additions, I also filmed a new short video for enrollee prospects on the fence, detailing the story behind the Content Strategy & Marketing Course. I share the whole story of this course, one of the biggest projects I've ever put together, from inception to building and launching.
Trust Us to Remain Dedicated to Providing Industry-Leading Content Strategy Education
Right now, The Content Strategy & Marketing Course is one of the most comprehensive courses in the industry, with over 75 video lessons, workbooks, and an entire process that helps students build a Brand Strategy, hands-on with my feedback, throughout the course. With me as your lead instructor, and six additional instructors from all walks of content marketing, this is a heavy-hitting course for agency team members, freelancers, and entrepreneurs that want to learn every step in profitable content marketing — and walk away with tangible knowledge they can apply in the workforce.
By the end of the course, you'll have all the pieces of a working strategy right there at your fingertips, ready to go. (I've had students build their Brand Strategy for an actual client of theirs.)
And I love this topic enough to make sure the content is regularly updated. With me as your teacher, you'll never get an instructor who just sits back and lets her training stagnate, especially in an industry as evolving as content marketing and content strategy.
And on that note, I'll end our announcement for today.
Interested in enrolling? Talk to my team today via live chat (the little blue button on the bottom), and we'll help you find out if you're a fit for my comprehensive, 6-week training! Or, go here to enroll today.

Things are different here in the Philippines. It's just the way it is. If you are thinking of retiring or working in the Philippines, it's good to know just what some of these differences are. In our last video we looked at some of the historical factors that have affected the contemporary courting system, which is a bit different than Western dating practices. In this blog entry, we will compare and contrast some of the differences between homes in the West versus those in the Philippines.
The first thing you will notice is the preponderance of "hollow block" construction. Instead of using wooden framing – which would be devoured in short order by termites and water/humidity damage – modern Filipino homes are made of concrete cinder blocks reinforced with rebar and poured concrete. This provides stronger protection against bugs and rot, as noted, and also affords some additional protection against typhoons and super-typhoons.
Homes here are also usually surrounded by security walls topped with razor wire or broken glass bottles and provided with a lockable security gate for getting your car in and out. This practice has been utilized for over a hundred years, and even though it won't stop a home from being burglarized, it does slow potential burglars down. And since so many homes here have guard dogs, it provides them room to roam around. On the topic of guard dogs, you may have noticed in the video that some families keep "alarm dogs" in little metal cages. This is pretty common, and to a Western eye, it is a very sad life (IMHO) for a dog.
One of the issues I have with our "Pink House" is the way the roof was constructed. It is fabricated of corrugated aluminum panels that are painted a dark color – red is the most common, which is probably a carry over from the Spanish occupation and use of red clay roof tiles. The dark color absorbs the heat, and it would probably make more sense to have them painted white or silver (like in the Mediterranean) to reflect the relentless solar heat that is common in the tropics. And although the house has intake vents under the eaves, there is no provision for venting the heat out of the top of the roof – no ridge vents or anything like that. So, the dark roof heats up, transfers it to the crawlspace, and it radiates down into the house all night. Ugh….. not good…..
Porches – called "salas" here – are usually made of tile laid down over poured concrete. Again, with all the wood eating critters lurking about and the prevelance of water and dampness, it doesn't make sense to construct porches of wood like done in the West. The interiors of the homes are also tiled, which makes sweeping and mopping very easy.
There are not many garages in the Philippines. You see them every now and then but usually what you have is a "car port" which is again, just a poured concrete slab. These can either be covered or uncovered. At Pink House we have a rickety metal cover that has a bunch of holes in it but generally does a pretty good job of keeping water off of the motorcycles.
You don't often see water pipes going into houses here. Instead what we have are basically garden hoses leading to the house that run off of the meters by the road. Water pressure can be a problem (especially when a lot of neighbors are using water at the same time), so what some folks do is install big shiny water tanks up on towers. An electric pump sends up water to the tank which in turn sends water down into the house at a much higher pressure due to the tank's elevation. Tanks are also good as they provide a water supply if the mains are cut or if there is simply weekly water outages.
One last thing you won't see a whole lot of in the Philippines are basements. The majority of the population lives along the coast, so the water tables aren't that deep. Also, with the torrential rains that we get, having a basement would be more of a trouble than it is worth. Well, unless subterranean swimming pools are your thing.
Finally, most windows in the Philippines are protected by fabricated (welded steel stock) window grates. Some are thicker than others, and although most can be cut with bolt cutters (or saws), it – like the security wall – does slow any potential intruders down. It also makes a lot of noise when they are trying to break in, so it gives a home owner (or renter) time to utilize other methods to deter entry. If ya know what I mean……
One last note – concrete production in the Philippines is a MASSIVE industry, and you can find huge factories turning out tons of the stuff all over the islands. Approaching Cebu city from the south, you pass through one of these factories and the scale of the place is just amazing.
Got anything to add? Leave it in the comments section.
Take care all, and vive le difference!

EU imposes sanctions against organizers of "elections" in Donbas – journalist
12:40, 10 December 2018Politics

The decision will be published in the EU official journal around midday.
Brussels reporter for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Rikard Jozwiak has said EU foreign ministers imposed sanctions against those responsible for organizing the so-called "elections" in Donbas.
"EU foreign ministers have just approved the visa bans and asset freezes on the 9 ppl the EU deems responsible for organizing the "elections" in eastern Ukraine. will be published in the EU official journal around midday," he wrote on Twitter on December 10, 2018.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the Russian-controlled puppet republics – the "Donetsk People's Republic ("DPR") and the Luhansk People's Republic ("LPR") on November 11 held sham "elections" of the so-called "heads of people's republics" and "deputies of people's councils." The Kremlin has already greeted Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik as "heads" of the "DPR" and the "LPR," respectively.

Checked out the War of the Roses floral display at Gardens by the Bay's Flower Dome 2 weeks ago. If you love roses, you really have to come see the display. I love going to the Flower Dome. It's like a cheating method for me to feel like I'm deep in the heart of nature, without having to sweat it out thanks to the air-conditioning! Kinda like why we love visiting parks and gardens when we are in temperate countries.
War of the Roses is on from 26 February to 6 April 2014!
Some interesting facts on roses I never knew!
- There are more than 15,000 different rose species grown worldwide
- 5,000 roses will be used for the entire War of the Roses floral display, boasting 60 different varieties. Click here to see the names of the roses.
- Bandung is a popular drink of milk flavoured with rose cordial syrup. Available at many hawker centres and food courts in Singapore.
- In Chinese traditional medicine, some rose species can treat stomach problems
- Have a rose named after you, if you can afford $15,000.
- War of the Roses was a series of dynastic wars fought from 1455 to 1485 between the Royal House of Lancaster and the Royal House of York, for the throne of England

Subseries warning: This article or section contains information on a subseries within the Legend of Zelda series and should be considered part of its own separate canon.
Trident of Demise is Ganondorf's Level 3 Trident in Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends. It is apparently a demonic Trident once wielded by the Demon King Demise and has a Lightning Elemental Attribute.
Hyrule Warriors Legends
Sealed Weapon
After completing Legends Mode and unlocking the Master Quest Adventure Map, the Trident of Demise can be unlocked by competing the Adventure Mode scenario in 3-15 (Row 3, Column 15) on the Master Quest map with an A Rank (S Rank in the Japanese version), which will cause a treasure chest containing Ganondorf's Level 3 Sealed Weapon which will unlocks the default Trident of Demise (no stars and empty skill slots) on the results screen, allowing Ganondorf to use it in all game modes afterward and gives him the ability to obtain stronger versions of it (with higher star rating and skills). It also allows Ganondorf the ability use them to be fused with other Tridents to craft stronger versions and/or customize them with specific skills.
A Rank Requirements
- KOs - 1,200
- Clear Time - 15 minutes or less
- Damage Taken - 10,000 or less
Level 4
Trident of Demise + is Ganondorf's Level 4 Trident in Hyrule Warriors Legends. It is basically a stronger plus version of his Level 3 Trident. Like all Level 4 weapons, it has the same design as the Level 3 weapon it is based on.
Hyrule Warriors
In Hyrule Warriors, the Trident can be unlocked via using the download code that comes with purchase of Hyrule Warriors Legends. The download code allows players to unlock the Hyrule Warriors Legends DLC pack that unlocks new playable characters from Legends and Ganondorf's Trident. Once the Trident moveset is unlocked (which unlocks a default version of Ganondorf's Thief's Trident), players can obtain the Trident of Demise either as a random weapon drop or via using a Ganondorf amiibo on the Wii U GamePad (which randomly gives the player one of Ganondorf's Level 3 weapons, provided they have already been unlocked). It should be noted that when the Trident moveset is unlocked in Hyrule Warriors, its Level 2 and Level 3 weapons are unlocked automatically even though the player only receives its default Level 1, but the Level 2 and Level 3 Tridents can be viewed in the Gallery which shows they have been unlocked and can be received as random weapon drops or as Amiibo gifts.
Subseries warning: Subseries information ends here.
The Trident of Demise is designed after Demise's Sword and based on the Tridents wielded by Ganon in The Legend of Zelda series. It may also have been partially inspired by Ganondorf's Swords of Demise, his Level 3 weapon in his Great Sword moveset in the Hyrule Warriors series. However, It primarily resembles the black Trident that Ganon utilized in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. This includes the distinct red jewel on the centre of the fork, and the distinct black color.

Product Description
In the words of Robert Browning, Wovenhand heralds "another greater, wilder country" on TEN STONES. From the jarring folk of "White Knuckle Grip", to the eerie bossa nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars", to the fiery foot-stomper "Not One Stone", the album forms a song-cycle that is singular in its breadth and eclecticism. Flanked by the haunting strains of the bandoneoÌn and the drones of the double bass, Edwards' lyrical inversions stitch symbols into a tapestry of peaceable and hellish imagery—horsetails, honeybees, and bird wings meet flaming battles and barbed wire to proclaim sin's devastation and the sweetness of redemption. The music of Wovenhand is utterly unique, dizzying those who encounter it, with turnings and lashings of shadow and light.

LISTEN: Hexvessel's New Album
Laurie Tuffrey
, September 10th, 2012 02:58
No Holier Temple hosted on Inferno ahead of its release next week
Finland's 'forest folk' collective Hexvessel's new album No Holier Temple (artwork above) is out on September 14 via Svart Records, and you can stream it in its entirety over at Finnish magazine Inferno's site http://www.inferno.fi/uutiset/inferno-tarjoaa-kuuntele-hexvesselin-uusi-albumi/ here.
Electrifying the acoustic folk sound of Dawnbearer, the new LP is something of a psychedelic paean to forests and nature (check that album cover), inspired by naturalist greats John Muir, Dave Foreman and Howie Wolke.
Says frontman Mat McNerney: "The songs were written specifically to be channeled by a group. This is the sound of a cult, all focused on summoning the same magic, joined in prayer, haunted by the same demons. We actively pushed for a new way to evolve our sound. I purposely strove to make this album a calculated move-on from Dawnbearer. This isn't about using symbols of the occult. This is about a way of living that returns the old gods to their rightful place. We're a family that worships nature through word and sound. We hope you will join us."

STOCKTON — A local nonprofit organization focused on fighting obesity has become one of 31 groups nationwide to enter into a cooperative agreement program with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to promote healthier living.
For the next five years, Public Health Advocates will be a part of the Racial and Ethnic Community Health network that is focused on reducing health risks among minorities.
Public Health Advocates originally received a REACH grant from the CDC in 2013 that expired in September.
Christina Peoples, program manager for PHAdvocates, said the new cooperative agreement allows the organization to continue helping blacks in the Stockton community eat and drink healthier foods and beverages.
Although the organization will not be receiving grant funds for its efforts this time, Peoples said the CDC will be providing expertise, advice, knowledge and resources to help promote healthier living in Stockton.
"African-Americans are one of the smallest groups in Stockton," Peoples said. "But they have the highest rate of diabetes and obesity in the nation, and have little to no resources that help them live healthier lives."
Over the past five years, PHAdvocates worked with 10 African-American faith-based churches to encourage adopting healthier food and beverage changes through the REACH grant.
During that time, the REACH partners began exchanging sugary drinks at services and functions with water. In addition, church leaders began incorporating physical activity breaks into sessions, as well as advocated healthy food and drinks into their sermons.
As a result, daily water consumption increased from 86 percent to 96 percent among members at all 10 churches, and soda consumption decreased from 56 percent to 47 percent.
Daily fruit intake increased from 41 percent to 58 percent, and daily consumption of salad increased from 13 percent to 24 percent.
Peoples said while church leaders were excited about promoting the REACH grant's goals, it was initially difficult to get church members on board.
But after learning from pastors about the impact sodas, sugars and other junk foods have on their bodies, they began to see the light, she said.
"We're not saying you can't have it," Peoples said. "But when you come to (church) we're going to make sure to promote a healthier environment."
Over the next five years, PHAdvocates will incorporate other aspects of health into its REACH program, including the support of environments for breastfeeding accommodations, improving and infrastructure for physical activity, among others, Peoples said.

Ready to Work (RTW) is a no-cost, classroom-based program for adult immigrants with low English-language proficiency to improve their English skills. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, classes are now happening online. You will also receive culturally competent case management and other employment training with the goal of attaining a better, more well-paying job.
This nationally recognized program consists of English as a Second Language (ESL) classes (1-3) that start every quarter. Participants should expect to be in classes that are each three-hours-long. These classes take place in the morning, four days out of every week.
RTW has helped low-income adult language learners of a variety of ages gain job readiness skills and take steps toward economic self-sufficiency. Participants in the program have moved on to full-time jobs and/or advanced English-language level classes at community colleges. And perhaps most importantly, RTW participants have completed the program to become motivated learners.
The program is administered by the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs through our partner agencies. See below for more details on how to sign up for the program nearest you.

History of RTW
OIRA's goal is to empower and support immigrants, refugees, and others to overcome barriers to reach milestones on their difficult journey to economic stability, quality jobs, and integration into the civic life of Seattle. In 2015, RTW was created as an innovative prototype model for English language acquisition and employment. Since 2015, 270 immigrant and refugee jobseekers have participated in the program, with many of the participants obtaining jobs and continuing on to higher English-language level classes.
Ready to Work Nationally Recognized
In 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor and the National Skills Coalition highlighted Ready to Work as a national best practice model on how to leverage workforce funding to support immigrant integration in the labor force.

Dust of Snow - Robert Frost
About a week before I received the book in the mail, I was on a long subway ride, and as I usually do, I read all the ads and signs on the train. I came across this poem by
Robert Frost
in one of those "
train of thoughts
" posters. I tried to not forget about it till I got home.
I really like how simple it is and how accurate it is, I often feel like those random moments of beauty makes me feel like life is worth living for.

Trusted, Effective Treatment for Halloween Phobia.
Feelings of dread? Overwhelming thoughts? Rapid heartbeat? Tunnel Vision? Or worse? Since 2002 we have worked with countless folks from all walks of life and we have yet to come across someone with a case of halloween phobia that couldn't be overcome.

Customized Program with your own very Experienced Practitioner

• Fast, Personalized & Proven System to Get Rid of the Root of the Fear
How the Program Works: Getting Over Halloween Phobia
Bottom line? Your subconscious mind needs to be re-trained. Consciously, you know your halloween phobia doesn't make logical sense. If it did everyone would have it. But the fear remains because, with even just a thought of halloween, your subconscious mind triggers fear and other negative emotions.
Up to now, you have not had the techniques to reprogram those connections or feelings, so they feel out of control. We'll help you learn this simple system to make the fear history. Success is on the way – all you need to do is get started:
- Are you ready to speak with a Board-Certified Specialist? Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
Process to Overcome Halloween Phobia: Treatment Versus Cure
We're going to leave the terms 'treating' and 'curing' to the medical profession. As much as we'd like to wave a magic wand and 'cure' you, it's actually up to you to change how you feel. Quite simply, we are here to hold your hand through this method of self-empowerment.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. No one should have to go through the continuous suffering you are experiencing. Are you ready to interrupt the cycle of destructive thinking?
Vanquish Halloween Phobia Today.
Halloween Phobia Risk Factors and Triggers
You may have correctly assumed (although there are always exceptions), that your Halloween Phobia is triggered from a past experience. In some cases, the mind has seemingly, without basis, created the fear. To locate the foundation, and substitute encouraging connections in place of the negative ones, is the solution. Those most at risk are:
• Individuals who possess tendencies of apprehension
• Someone considered to be 'easily upset'
• One who is dealing with adrenal insufficiency
Do these even slightly describe you? Click to read testimonials from those who have been through our programs.
Or you can <see what the media> is saying.
How to Know If This System is for You
You can take our 2 minute Halloween Phobia Online Test to establish the enormity of the problem for you, but it's really quite straightforward: Do something about it now, if the fear is having a sizable negative influence on your way of living.
- Do you become sick at the simple thought of Halloween?
- Do your palms get clammy and your mouth feel like cotton?
- Does your heart beat like a drum?
- Do you feel as though you are unable to stand?
Those were only a handful of examples of the feelings you might suffer. Read more on the symptoms of halloween phobia.
We help you with the symptoms, as well as find out the basis for them. This is what CTRN is all about
Medications & Prescribed Drugs
We strongly believe that drugs are not a good solution for any Samhainophobe, but you should always follow your physician's advice with regard to drugs/meds and Halloween Phobia. Meds may seem to help in the short-term by temporarily improving your symptoms, but the problem is that they can never cure the core issue of the fearful patterns of thinking that are the automatic reaction to halloween and which trigger the intense feelings of fear.
There hasn't been a medication created specifically for treatment of Halloween Phobia, just general broad-application meds – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is with our help, you will conquer your Halloween Phobia, without drugs..

Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
Exodus 23:20
Recommended Reading
Exodus 20-23 [ http://iz3.me/QhDW1z3Fe1A1 ]
Throughout the Bible, angels seem to have an active role in ushering God's children to heaven. In his book, Somewhere Angels, Larry Libby writes: "No one likes to go on trips all alone. Now, some fine day you will and I will see heaven for the very first time …. and that home will be so very much better than Disneyland, and sunsets, and mountain lakes, and snowy canyons that I can't even tell you how much. And I don't think God means for us to be alone when we travel to that new home …. The angel gets to be there when you see the shining beauty of your forever home for the very first time; when your eyes fly open and your mouth drops open, and the tears of happiness rush to your eyes, and you say, 'Oh, my goodness! It's more beautiful than I could ever have dreamed!' And the angel gets to be there and share in it all!"1
Listen to Today's Radio Message [ http://iz3.me/RhDW1z3Fe1A1 ]
We can't fully visualize the wonder of that moment, but what a comfort to know we'll not be alone as we travel from earth to heaven! No Christian is abandoned at the moment of death. The angels are the ushers, and our passage to heaven is under their escort.
When it comes to leaving earth for heaven, there's nothing to worry about. God wants you home so much that He'll send His own angel to meet you. And don't be surprised if the angel is wearing a big smile.

Our company was founded in the depths of the recent recession.
With our love of photography and the need from our clients for a truly artistic and award winning style at an affordable price, we decided to create our photography company and called it Masters of Photography.
Like all companies choosing a name was one of the first things we had to decide on. For us this task was made a little easier as we have a Masters in photography. Our business consists of two Photographers (Sibel and David) and is family run. On occasion, we have the assistance of our four lads.
Since those early days our company has grown from strength to strength and with our hard work and attention to detail and more importantly with the support of our many customers we have become a thriving little business.
While many things have changed in our business one thing hasn't and that is as follows, we still promise a truly artistic and award winning style of photography at an affordable price, we love telling the story of someone's life by using images frozen on a digital negative that can never be captured in the exact same way again.
We will capture the love that exists between our couples.
We will photograph their love story and document their day on digital film like no other photographers will do.
We see life through a lens, we capture motion stills, we see what others don't, we see time in fragments and then freeze it like a dream that can only be revisited by opening an album page or gazing at a photo print.
We love what we do and are professionals in our fields. We promise to give you stunning photos from your once in a lifetime day and will work with you step by step without being intrusive.
If you have chosen us to be your photographer we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and if you haven't we thank you for taking the time to look at our work.

Date released: May 03 2006
On 2 May 2006 Spectra Photo Limited were prosecuted by the Environmental Protection Agency in relation to two offences under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2005.
The case was heard at Dublin Metropolitan District Court and the company were accused of breaching the Regulations by:
The court found in favour of the EPA and imposed a fine of €2,000 on the first charge, awarded costs of €8,140 to the EPA and took the second charge into consideration.
This is the second case to be taken under these Regulations in Ireland or in the EU. In January 2006 the EPA prosecuted Boots Retail (Ireland) Ltd. for breaches of the WEEE Regulations. The Regulations were made to bring the EU WEEE Directive into Irish law and became effective on 13th August 2005.
Commenting on the prosecution Dr Gerry Byrne, Programme Manager, EPA said, "The EPA has contacted or inspected over 600 companies to date. At this point we need full and frank information from them in order to ensure the fair application of the WEEE Regulations. Further prosecutions are listed for court hearing and others are under active consideration."
Waste electrical and electronic equipment is made up of many different materials and components, some of which are hazardous. The Directive aims to prevent the generation of electrical and electronic waste and to promote reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Regulations has the potential to reduce the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment that can be collected and diverted from landfill.
The EPA's Waste Prevention Unit enforces the WEEE Regulations. Since August 2005, extensive correspondence has been initiated alerting numerous retailers and producers of EEE to their obligations. Nationwide inspections of retail premises to check compliance with the Regulations are ongoing. Most companies have rapidly commenced preparations to comply with the Regulations. While the EPA is hopeful that those contacted will work towards compliance without recourse to legal action, a further prosecution is listed for hearing in May 2006 and prosecutions against other companies are under active consideration.
The EPA and the Office of the Director Consumer Affairs (ODCA) are working closely in regard to the correct pricing of EEE at retail premises throughout the country. Inspectors from ODCA are actively looking at this issue at a range of EEE retail outlets.
The EPA is also consulting directly with the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI) concerning the enforcement of legally correct advertising of EEE. Non-compliant advertising for EEE is being referred to them for follow through with their media member organisations.
Local authorities have a role in enforcing many of the articles in the Regulations for example ensuring one for one take-back is available, registration of all retailers and providing civic amenity sites for WEEE. A national briefing session completed in November 2005 for all local authorities advised them of their role in the enforcement of the Regulations through the EPA's national Environmental Enforcement Network. A WEEE Enforcement Network is being set up to guide and co-ordinate local authorities in their enforcement work.
Electronically collated information on WEEE with direct links to additional information sources, the National WEEE Register Society and the compliance schemes etc has been set up at: http://www.epa.ie/
A guidance note has been issued on this website for consultation on Business to Business (B2B) waste management plans which self-compliers must file with the EPA.
The EPA has undertaken an extensive national advertising campaign in the national press to highlight the WEEE Regulations. Additionally, the EPA recorded an item on WEEE for the Eco-Eye TV programme, which was broadcast in March 2006. EPA will be participating in a number of national seminars concerning the requirements of the Regulations during 2006.
The EPA is an active participant in the Producer Responsibility Liaison Group and meetings of the National WEEE Registration Body. Links are being made with regulators in other countries to share experiences in the enforcement of WEEE.

Lend Lease has purchased a stake at Victor Group's planned residential development at 281 5th Avenue, in Midtown South, according to Crain's Business. First brought to you by YIMBY last December, a 51-story, 140-unit mixed-use tower — to span 250,000 square feet and stand 750 feet — is planned for the 30th Street site. Although the size of Lend Lease's stake is unknown, the project will total $400 million, and ground breaking is expected this year. Multiple existing low-rise structure must first be demolished, and the final design has not yet been revealed.

A study back in 2013 found that while we perceive the weekend to begin around 5pm on a Friday afternoon it actually begins quite a bit sooner than that. Nearly three hours prior, actually. That's right, Friday afternoons, not known for their mass productivity, actually end for the average worker around 2:39pm. But will taking the whole afternoon off make you more productive?
As the Standard report, six out of ten people feel "entitled to ease off in the afternoon and the average worker puts at least three important things on hold until Monday". The same research revealed that we mentally switch off for the week somewhere around 2:39 which is oddly specific (I know it's an average. I just think it'd be funny if the clock ticked and everyone shutdown like robots).
So why don't we all just get Friday afternoons off? A survey by consultants Hudson found in 2011 that 49% of people feel productivity is worse on Friday afternoons and 55% think that productivity would remain steady if people took these afternoons off. However, that's just conjecture. Of course people are going to say they want time off work.
The objective takeaway from this study, however, is that the trust gained from a four and a half working week will boost morale if utilised sparingly. The worst thing you can do to your employees is make them entitled.
Maybe one day we'll live in a future where the four day working week is commonplace. Heck, the six hour working day is already popular in places like Sweden and it's actually working out for the best.
As flexible working becomes the M.O for many successful businesses, managers will realise that happy workers are productive workers. A little bit of trust and reward goes a long way, even if it is just a few hours off in the afternoons at the end of the working week.

Mortgage Lending Figures Are In!
- VIC – leading the way with 16.6% of mortgage increases
- SA – was up 12.2% aslo
- WA – there was a drop of 13.4% in mortgages
A great sign was that the non-majors have lifted their share to 29.1% of the market. These figures have come from AFG.
People always fix at the wrong time in response to banks advertising. From the start of the last financial year fixing was 14.5% this jumped to 20% in April and May. This was in response to the banks urging. Right before the rate drop!! Fixers lost! Take a look at my response to this weeks interest rate decision from the Reserve Bank of Australia with Phil Hill.
You watch, they will start pushing rates again soon knowing that the rates will drop yet again! I guess that is the benefit of the club. We have the time and experience with when to fix and when NOT to fix. It's all about education and helping others with their property and their finance. Each person's situation is different so if you have been advised to fix, I would suggest getting more information before you do. We have strong relationships with our Club approved brokers, who are ready to assist and get you the best deals. Simply contact your Property Mentor if this is you. Hope this helps you.

Handbook programming testing is carried out by a human sitting earlier than a PC intentionally experiencing software screens, trying completely different use and data blends, contrasting the outcomes with the conventional conduct and recording their perceptions. Handbook assessments are rehashed regularly amid development cycles for supply code modifications and completely different circumstances like varied working conditions and tools preparations. An automation testing machine can playback pre-recorded and predefined actions, distinction the outcomes with the conventional conduct and report the achievement or disappointment of those guide assessments to a take a look at construct. As soon as robotized assessments are made they will with out a lot of a stretch be rehashed and they are often reached out to carry out errands unimaginable with guide testing. Alongside these traces, astute administrators have found that robotized programming testing is a primary a part of efficient development ventures.
It's a standout amongst essentially the most very important QA testing apparatuses. Put simply, It mechanizes packages – and what you do with that robotization is completely as much as you. It's generally utilized for robotizing internet purposes for testing functions, but can computerize digital group errands additionally. Perceive that it's an association of varied programming apparatuses, each considered one of them with an alternate strategy to take care of supporting take a look at computerization. These units incorporate WebDriver; Distant Management; IDE; and -Grid. Most architects working with Selenium middle on the perhaps a pair units that deal with the problems of their enterprise greatest. Many people start with Built-in Growth Setting (IDE). It is a prototyping instrument for constructing take a look at contents. It features a easy to-utilize interface for creating robotized assessments. People who should not skilled with a programming dialect can make the most of IDE to get snug with summons, and to make simple assessments quickly. One superior benefit of using it's that the association of units could be utilized as part of an exceptionally adaptable means, allowing a variety of selections for locating UI elements and anticipated take a look at comes about towards actual software conduct. One other along with is that Selenium affords assist for executing assessments on varied program phases. Whereas using it for essentially the most half makes life much less demanding for engineers, it may likewise be asset escalated to arrange and sustain in-house – so the proper take a look at robotization equipment should be based on it, but ought to discover a strategy to keep a strategic distance from the torment of guide maintenance. Maintaining Selenium can turn into exorbitant with out the proper system. A construction based mostly method decreases the assist exertion that's required to supervise and sustain computerization units successfully. A construction can empower end-to-end testing that checks that the coordinated phase works precisely as a characteristic of the final framework, and that the present segments of the framework fill in as beforehand. Using a system moreover takes into consideration mixture with fixed combine and take a look at administration units to empower high quality measurements. Likewise, using a computerization construction organized process ensures clean relapse testing with out human mediation. You possibly can reduce your testing bills and liberate your QA belongings with robotized relapse testing administrations. It's digging in for the lengthy haul, so engineers ought to determine find out how to put it to use as quick as attainable. Doing as such will allow them to all of the extra viably computerize their versatile software testing. Together with a computerization construction system will allow them to supervise and sustain robotization devices productively. What's Selenium WebDriver?
It lets you compose Automation assessments in any upheld programming dialect (say Java). Selenium WebDriver is in any other case referred to as Selenium 2. It's an open supply and free instrument. It's the precept Selenium Undertaking as of now. Automated Software program Testing Saves Time and Cash Automated assessments have to be rehashed commonly amid enchancment cycles to ensure high quality. Every time supply code is modified programming assessments should be rehashed. For every arrival of the product it is perhaps tried on all upheld working frameworks and tools preparations. Bodily rehashing these assessments is pricey and tedious. As soon as made, robotized assessments could be saved operating repeatedly at no additional value and they're considerably faster than guide assessments. Automated programming testing can lower a possibility to run monotonous assessments from days to hours. A interval reserve funds that make an interpretation of particularly into value funding funds.

Wi: Journal of Mobile Media » Blog Archive » Registering Realities, Parasiting Networks: An Interview with Antoni Abad
Several years later, along these lines, he developed Canal accesible (Accessible
channel), winner of the Golden Nica Award at the 2006 Prix Ars Electronica, in the
Digital Communities23 category. This project, carried out in various cities, consists
of creating communication channels among marginal groups that have no voice
in the media. On Canal accesible, 40 handicapped persons mapped out the
architectural barriers they came across on their way around Barcelona. Provided
with a multimedia mobile phone, they took snapshots and sent them to an Internet
portal, where they were immediately published. This initial experience was followed
by others including: Canal Sitio Taxi (Taxi Site Channel) with the taxi driver collective
of Mexico City; Canal Gitano (Gypsy Channel), for the Gypsy community of Lleida
and León; Canal Invisible (Invisible Channel), narrated by prostitutes in Madrid; and
Canal Central (Central Channel) run by Nicaraguan immigrants in San José (Costa
Rica). One of its accomplishments, as explained by Abad24, is that this project has
allowed these groups to get organized.
We would also like to point out e-valencia.org, a project by Daniel Andujar, a member
of irational.org, presented at the exhibit The Power of Security, a work forming part of
the legendary corporative type of organization, Technologies to the People. This work
adopted the blog format to build a platform offering a critical voice in the Valencia
area, and was joined by others in Spain, such as e-barcelona and e-sevilla25.

Beginning on November 4 and running through November 9, the Holdrege Area Public Library will be running a Food4Fines program. Any patron that brings in a commercially produced can of food will receive one dollar off any fines they may have. All food received will be donated to the Phelps County Food Pantry to help county residents that are in need.
Director Michael Burris said, "We are unable to accept expired items or home canned food, but we hope to be able to raise enough food to substantially help people in our area. With the holidays coming up – and the food-focus that comes with them – it is cruel to ignore those that are in need during this time of celebrations. For those people that are able to have enough and to spare, this is a painless way to clean out their pantries and simultaneously assist their fellow citizens. We're just trying to encourage a little more giving during a time when it means so much for our neighbors."
In addition to canned goods, any non-perishable food item may be donated; any non-perishable food will be gratefully accepted by the library staff.

EDP launches Green Friday and offers discounts on efficient appliances
The company is anticipating the Black Friday discounts in one week on equipment that promote environmental sustainability and help customers save money. A percentage of the sales goes to the "Liga para a Proteção da Natureza" (an environmental NGO).
Many consumers wait for the last Friday of November to buy several products at more affordable prices. This year, Black Friday happens on November 29th, but EDP Comercial, which is always aware of its customers' consumption trends and needs, innovates again by creating Green Friday, an initiative that will happen the week before, during November 22-25. On these days, EDP Comercial customers can purchase efficient appliances at the online store, edp.pt, with discounts of up to 20%.
In this shop, customers can choose various types of equipment such as refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, among other appliances, with the guarantee that they are the most efficient in the market, and pay directly on the energy bill in 24 monthly installments, interest free. Additionally, EDP Comercial ensures that the installation of the new equipment and the collection of the old equipment are free of charge.
EDP entered this segment earlier this year, and has already installed about three thousand appliances in its customers' homes.
During Green Friday, in addition to the equipment discount and energy efficiency they will get, consumers will be contributing to an environmental cause, as part of the proceeds goes to the "Liga para a Proteção da Natureza", a non-profit association that has a Charity Statute, which promotes nature conservation and environmental education since 1948.
This is another step that reinforces EDP Comercial's strategy of being the partner of choice for its customers in terms of sustainability, energy efficiency, and comfort at home. Services such as health insurance, energy certification, electric mobility, energy storage systems, photovoltaic solar panels and repair and maintenance services for equipment and appliances are already offered. It is estimated that, in 2021, around 40% of EDP Comercial's customers may have additional services contracted through the electricity bill.
This bet had already been reinforced by the company last month with the launch of Living EDP Packs, where customers can find various discounts and opportunities on products and services that allow them to use their energy, both indoors and outdoors. About four million consumers trust EDP Comercial to be their energy supplier in the Portuguese market.

2020 NASCAR schedule the product of "unprecedented collaboration"
Tracks react to the alterations NASCAR has made to its Cup Series schedule for the 2020 season.
On Tuesday, NASCAR announced a major shake-up to its Cup Series schedule for the 2020 season, which includes a change of venues for the both the regular season finale and the title-decider in November.
Read Also:
Heres a look at how the tracks reacted to the news:
Marcus Smith, President and CEO of Speedway Motorsports, Inc
"NASCAR's 2020 schedule is a product of unprecedented collaboration from so many stakeholders in our sport, but the most important were our fans. We've taken a tremendous amount of fan feedback to create a schedule that maintains the tradition of NASCAR's biggest weekends in our sport, while also adding some wrinkles the fans will love, particularly as we look ahead to the playoffs.
"Starting the season in Daytona and the back-to-back May weekends at Charlotte continue to anchor the first-half of the season, followed by a two-week break mid-summer that will give drivers, crew members and teams the opportunity to recharge before a final push toward the playoffs. Fans should appreciate a historical return to Labor Day for Darlington to start the playoffs. Throw in the unpredictability of Daytona to end the regular season, the Charlotte ROVAL and two short tracks for playoff bracket-busters, plus a change in venue for championship weekend and you've got the ingredients for some wild NASCAR racing in 2020 that both traditionalists and fans looking for a change-up will enjoy.
"From a Speedway Motorsports perspective, we're pleased to kick off the early season 'west coast swing' at Las Vegas with the second race of the year, then welcome fans back to the Southeast to a warmer mid-March date at Atlanta. Texas, Bristol, Charlotte, Sonoma, Kentucky and New Hampshire continue to hold similar race weekends on the calendar through July, then we'll amplify the intensity even more for the Night Race at Bristol as it moves to September as the cutoff in the first-round of the playoffs. Las Vegas moves later in September to a cooler race weekend in the desert, and the ROVAL returns to Charlotte's more traditional mid-October weekend as the cutoff race of the second playoff round. Texas will cap our NASCAR SMI season with a playoff tussle a week earlier in advance of the local hunting season."
Martinsville Raceway
"This is a very exciting day for Martinsville Speedway," Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell said of the race under the lights. "It's a question we've gotten from fans literally every day since we installed the lights and we are now able to say, 'May 9, 2020.' So, this is a very exciting day for everyone involved ... Fans showed us that they support night racing here during the last two ValleyStar Credit Union 300 weekends," Campbell said. "We hope they will enjoy the Cup Series under the lights just as much and will come see us next May."
Regarding Martinsville becoming the penultimate race of the season, Campbell added, "We are going to move to one of the most important races on the schedule, setting up the Cup Series finale. Recent history has shown us that drivers will do whatever it takes to secure a spot in the Championship Race, and now the urgency and intensity will go to another level, as it's the last shot for teams to have a chance at the championship."
Homestead-Miami Speedway
Ralph Sanchez's vision for our track more than 25 years ago was to host spring racing and be a major part of South Florida's March calendar," said Homestead-Miami Speedway President Matthew Becherer. "Miami has historically hosted many popular events during March, including the Miami Open, the Florida Derby, Ultra and the Calle Ocho Music Festival, among others, and this move will integrate us into this impressive mix. A March race weekend affords us many unique opportunities to entertain the South Florida community as we host NASCAR races for many years to come."
Daytona International Speedway
"The Coke Zero Sugar 400 will continue to be one of the cornerstone events on the NASCAR schedule and will now serve as the final race of the regular season," Wile said. "Daytona International Speedway strives to deliver the most exciting racing for our fans and this date change adds another layer of drama and excitement with a potential walk-off home run moment for a driver to solidify a playoff berth."
Darlington Raceway
"To be able to host our Labor Day throwback weekend as the first race of the NASCAR Playoffs will create tremendous excitement and enthusiasm for our fans," said track President Kerry Tharp. "Darlington Raceway, considered one of the toughest tracks on the circuit, will definitely challenge the drivers right from the start of the postseason. To combine our throwback weekend, which celebrates the sport's past, present and future, with the initial start to the championship run, should provide plenty of additional excitement, and energy to the entire weekend."
Texas Motor Speedway
"The fall date change solves the issue we've dealt with since 2005 in that it gets us off the traditional early November opening week of the Texas general hunting season," said Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage. "That's a big issue for a key faction of our race fans so this should please all the white-tailed deer hunters who couldn't make it out to the track. Now they can so we're looking forward to them joining us for our new Oct. 25 race date."
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
"There's no better venue to throw a massive party for our nation's birthday than the Racing Capital of the World," IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. "Fourth of July weekend is a celebration of patriotism and getting outside in the summer with family and friends, and a Big Machine concert and NASCAR racing at the Speedway combine those two traditions, making for a special Independence Weekend celebration! A record 47 million Americans were estimated to have traveled on Fourth of July weekend in 2018, and we're confident that this new date and a host of fun activities on and off the track at IMS will help draw more fans to our venue and build on the buzz surrounding last year's enhanced schedule. We're looking forward to a can't-miss holiday extravaganza for Hoosiers and sports fans everywhere."
Atlanta Motor Speedway
"This is a big win for our Speedway and its fans," said AMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Brandon Hutchison. "Our fans have been asking for a warmer race day, so taking the opportunity to move our race weekend into spring was a no-brainer.
"When March 15, 2020, rolls around the flowers and plants around our facility will be blooming and our fans will be enjoying warmer, more inviting weather as we celebrate our 60th year. It's going to be great!"
Dover International Speedway
With all of the stakeholders that are involved in assembling the NASCAR schedule – it is a difficult task to meet everyone's needs. However, it is always with a 'fan-first' mentality that the schedule is produced," said Mike Tatoian, Dover International Speedway president and CEO. "Moving our second weekend into the end of the summer should allow more families with young NASCAR fans to visit us before the school year begins, and we are for the most part removed from the crowded professional and collegiate sports landscape in the fall."
