News: New AQA Dance GCSE syllabus announced
The examinations body AQA has announced a new syllabus for its Dance GCSE qualification, which will be available from September 2016.
It includes new set works by contemporary choreographers:
• Stopgap Dance Company's Artificial Things by Lucy Bennett
• Rambert 's A Linha Curva by Itzik Galili
• The Royal Ballet's Infra by Wayne McGregor
• Phoenix Dance Theatre's Shadows by Christopher Bruce
• James Cousins Company's Within Her Eyes by James Cousins
• Boy Blue Entertainment's Emancipation of Expressionism by Kenrick H2O Sandy
It is the first time that Wayne McGregor's choreography has become part of the GCSE curriculum. He said: "Studying dance in schools contributes vitally to a well-rounded and wide-reaching general education for young people. Engaging creatively with the arts facilitates new modes of communication and self-expression, essential attributes for innovation in any domain. Dance sharpens a student's ability to think with and through the body, while challenging them to combine a broad range of multiple intelligences to solve creative problems. I am thrilled that Infra will play a role in inspiring the next generation of talent."
Lucy Bennett, Artistic Director of integrated company Stopgap said she was delighted their work was to be part of the new AQA Dance anthology: "We believe that everyone has the right to participate and pursue excellence in dance, and we hope that Artificial Things will encourage more diverse students to engage with the artform."

What it Means to "Convene"
August 22, 2016Convene: from the Latin word convenire, which means to 'assemble, fit, agree,' from con-'together' and venire-'come' Erik Somerfeld overlooking his wheat field in Power, Montana It is harvest time in Montana. The often clichéd phrase, "amber waves of grain" is an apt description for large swaths of the landscape around Bozeman.

The Importance of Listening in Food Security Activism
August 15, 2016Although issues of food security have always existed in the United States, the more recent obesity trend has brought more attention to the issue, particularly with urban food deserts. And rightfully so, it is difficult to think of a wealthy and food plentiful country like the U.S. having food barren neighborhoods, especially since it has long since been connected to excess weight. As a result, there have been several initiatives, from Michelle Obama's policy pushes to non-profit interventions,... Read More

Astronomik OWB Filter - Type 3 - EOS Clip - OWBCCD-EOS
Astronomik OWB Filter - Type 3 - EOS Clip
- The Astronomik OWB Filter - Type 3 - EOS Clip (Original White Balance) Filter is designed for Canon EOS digital SLR cameras that have been modified for astronomy imaging and is in a Canon EOS Clip mount
- Designed for DSLR cameras which have been converted for astronomical use by removing their IR-filter or by substituting it with a filter with greater range for H-alpha
- The Astronomik OWB (Original White Balance) Type 3 Filter clips into any Canon EOS Digital SLR camera and restores the ability of the camera to be used for terrestrial photography, like the original standard equipment filter
- The spectral sensitivity of the (modified) DSLR will be changed by installing an OWB-Filter to the original Canon-designated range
- Coatings protect amazingly well against scratching, aging, and humidity
- Diffraction limited, the filter will not reduce the optical performance of your telescope
More About the Astronomik OWB Filter - Type 3 - EOS Clip
The Astronomik OWB filter would usually not be designated as an "astronomical" filter. The intention is to enable converted DSLR cameras (without a built-in IR-filter) to be used for conventional "terrestrial" photography. DSLR cameras which have been converted for astronomical use by removing their IR filter or by substituting it with a filter with greater range for H-alpha, have a white balance that made them unusable for terrestrial purposes. The spectral sensitivity of the DSLR will be changed by an OWB-Filter to their original range.
The OWB (Original White Balance) filter shifts the complete spectrum of a converted DSLR in such a manner that the camera will not be exclusively usable for astro-photography. Therefore the decision, whether to "victimize" a DSLR in order to exclusively use it for astronomical tasks, or accept the lower sensitivity on the red end of the spectrum is now a thing of the past. The OWB EOS Clip filter fits in all Canon cameras of the series 20D(a)-40D, 300D-450D, and 1000D. This OWB Filter Type 3 is parfocal with other Astronomik filters.
Completely resistant against high humidity, scratches, and aging effects. Diffraction limited, the filter will not reduce the optical performance of your telescope! Astronomik filters are delivered in a high-quality, long lasting, plastic filter box.
Astronomik Clip Filter System
Astronomik's unique Clip-Filter system features full black anodized aluminum construction and has been laser-cut on state-of-the-art machinery. Inserts directly into a Canon EOS DSLR camera body in mere seconds with no adjustments required. Focus, screen, image stabilization, and all other lens operations will continue to function! Apart from the EF-S series, all Canon system lenses, along with all M42 and T2 lens adapters, support the Astronomik EOS Clip Filter. This system also makes for an excellent dust protector as it keeps dust from accumulating on your sensor when performing long exposures.
Transmission Specifications
- Special spectrum in order to adapt modified DSLR cameras (with removed or substituted IR-filters) to achieve a standard color space in digital imaging

Tickets are available for the inaugural Nationwide Children's Hospital 200.
The December 2012 announcement of the Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course was more than an exciting moment for thousands of motorsports fans in Ohio. It was another example of how Nationwide uses its sports sponsorships to benefit the community and further its long-standing support of Nationwide Children's Hospital. The race (scheduled for August 16–17) benefits Children's Hospital through collaborative fundraising and awareness efforts carried out by NASCAR, Mid-Ohio and Nationwide.
According to Nationwide Chief Marketing Officer Matt Jauchius, "We have more than five decades of committed support to Nationwide Children's and our sports sponsorships have raised more than $7.5 million for the hospital since 2006."
Nationwide and Children's Hospital partnership
Nationwide and its associates have supported Children's Hospital since the 1950s. In 2006, Nationwide made a transformative $50 million grant to the hospital that funded several practice areas and was critical to funding the hospital's 2.4 million square foot expansion in 2011. Children's Hospital is now the second-largest pediatric hospital in the nation. It serves nearly one million patient visits each year and cares for children from every state and 28 countries around the world.
Throughout this growth, Children's Hospital has stayed true to its founding mission to provide care to every child, regardless of the parents' ability to pay. The hospital gave more than $120 million in uncompensated and undercompensated care to children in 2011.
"Nationwide Children's Hospital is one of the country's great children's hospitals," said Steve Allen, MD and CEO of the hospital. "It's only through philanthropy and events such as this that allow us to continue to meet our mission and reach the growing number of children who need our services."
Sports sponsorships give back
Nationwide has sponsored the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship golf tournament and the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon and Half Marathon for several years. Nationwide's title sponsorship of the Memorial Tournament, a PGA TOUR event hosted in Columbus, and the related Legends Luncheon also benefit the hospital.
The Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 marks the first time that a NASCAR sponsorship has been brought into the fold. Leaders estimate that through the four sponsorships, Nationwide will donate $3.2 million to the hospital in 2013.
"Sponsorships allow us to build deep relationships within communities because we can engage with fans through something they're passionate about," said Jauchius. "Those relationships not only build our business and our brand, they allow us to use that passion and excitement to help ensure the world-class pediatric health care at Nationwide Children's is available for generations to come."

The cream of female entrepreneurial talent turned out in force to celebrate the achievements of the North East's top women business leaders.
The 14th Annual North East Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards brought together high-flying women from a variety of sectors across the North East.
Sales and marketing specialist Jacqui Miller, of global engineering group Miller, headquartered in Cramlington, Northumberland, took the title of North East Best Woman in International Business 2013.
Judges this year shortlisted women who excelled at providing focused, clear leadership abilities in running or playing a key role in business. The standard of entries eclipsed previous years with numbers of applications reaching a record high.
Speaking from Australia, where she was working to secure more orders for the newly-formed Miller Australia operations, Miller said: "Considering the calibre of the business women who were nominated in these awards I am both humbled and honoured to win the award.
"As a company we have worked very hard for more than 35 years to make the business the success it is today.
"Anyone who succeeds in business cannot do so without having made substantial sacrifices and I have been no different, spending countless weeks attending exhibitions and visiting customers in new markets all in the pursuit of developing and growing Miller to be the international brand it is today.
"This has meant lots of time away from my husband and two children who have been a magnificent support throughout my journey.
"I was taught from a young age that whatever you put into something is exactly what you will get back out of it, applying this has paid off being recognised in the 2013 New Year's honours list for my services to Industry and International Trade and ending the year by winning this award is testament that hard work, determination and never taking no for an answer really is a winning formula.
"I have been blessed to work with my two older brothers throughout my entire career and be surrounded by a truly tremendous team at Miller, I could not have won this award without their hard work and support, and for everyone in the company I accept this on their behalf as well as my own."
Event organiser Nickie Gott, chairwoman of the North East Chamber of Commerce's Women's Advisory Board and founder of events management company She's Gott It!, added: "I'd like to congratulate all the winners who made judging this year's event so difficult. It is a cliché to say it gets harder every year, but the calibre of entries this year was phenomenal."
This latest accolade for Miller UK came just days after it was named Medium-Sized Company of the Year for the second year running in training awards competition.
The company, which manufactures buckets and couplers for companies such as Hitachi, Volvo and Komatsu, won at the TDR Training Annual Awards 2013, organised by TDR, a group which brings together engineering and manufacturing companies in the North East.
Miller UK Ltd, which employs more than 200 people, has always supported the apprenticeship programme and invested heavily in the development of young people, with many reaching senior positions.

Video: Terron Webb Wins Competition In St Kitts
Terron Webb, who lives in St. Kitts and Nevis, has won the Jr. Calypso Competition in the St. Kitts National Carnival with his song 'Youngster's Unite,' coming out on top after competing with five finalists.
The young performer also competed in Nevis last year and was ranked first runner up, but had to wait until he was 10-years-old to compete in the St. Kitts competition.
While last year's placement earned him a prize of $1,500, one year of free internet subscription, and a certificate for his school uniforms, this year's first place finish saw Terron go home with $2,000, one year of free internet, a cell phone, schools supplies, and school uniform certificate.
Angela Williams, Terron's mother, said, "There were some Bermudians visiting St. Kitts at the time who came out to support; they made sure their presence was known with their loud cheers of support for Terron."

Memento; Thriller, USA, 2000; D: Christopher Nolan, S: Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, Mark Boone Junior, Russ Fega, Stephen Tobolowsky, Jorja Fox
Leonard kills James...Earlier: Leonard uses a photo to conclude that James killed and raped his wife and decides to take revenge...Earlier: Leonard tells a motel guest that he suffers from anterograde amnesia ever since an unknown man attacked him and killed his wife...Earlier: Leonard meets up with Natalie with whom he spent the night together...Earlier: Natalie double crossed Leonard and persuaded him to attack Dodd in order to use him...Earlier: Leonard remembers Sammy, who also suffered from amnesia...Earlier: Leonard kills dealer Jimmy because cop James told him he was the murderer. Then he starts to suspect.
Very good independent thriller that launched the career of director Christopher Nolan handles the theme of amnesia in a very original way: by showing the story from the end up to the beginning. Already in the first scene does the film unravel the finale in which the hero kills the bad guy (it's also shot backwards: the blood returns, the bullet lifts up from the floor and goes back in the pistol...), immediately putting the most crucial scene behind it, yet it still very skillfully builds it's suspense: right after that sequence, there follows a cut and a sequence from earlier events are shown, then from the day before, and the day before that, and so until the start. The theme of amnesia and a detective has already been used in comedy "Clean Slate", yet the director leads the story in a tighter way, placing the viewers in a position of uncertainty since he never discovers them more than the hero. Despite Nolan's "autistic" direction and grey mood, "Memento" is a memorable film, equipped with good dialogues, like when the motel guest says to the hero: "Just don't forget to pay the bill!", even though some characters are rather vague, like the one of Carrie-Anne Moss. The screenplay was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe.Grade:+++

The €500 grant was presented to Cahir Day Care Centre's Lil Davis (manager) and Bob Condon (treasurer) by Aldi's 'charity champion' Padraig Collins.
"We are delighted our Cahir store employees have chosen to support Cahir Day Care Centre as they play a pivotal role in bettering the local community as a whole. The social outlet Cahir Day Care Centre provides for older people is vital in helping combat loneliness," Aldi Ireland's Finbar McCarthy (group buying director) said.
"Supporting the local communities, our stores serve is something that we truly believe in and we are proud to be contributing to the important work done by charities and not-for–profit organisations across County Tipperary through our community support fund," he added.

I watch freeview on a 29" 4:3 tv and get the black boarders all round with alot of c4 programs and a few programs from other channels e.g Celebrity Apprentice, Funniest Home Videos, Wipeout etc
I cant stand watching programs that look like that.
So, this is NORMAL behaviour, either change decoder setting to 4:3 centrecut or buy a widescreen TV. Developing an understanding of the aspect ratios and how they appear given decoder and TV settings is the way to go rather than expecting the channels to start 16:9 zooming 4:3 ratio programs for your benefit - this results in all of 432 lines (out of 576) of vertical resolution.

EU, US still have work to do on standards in free trade deal: German foreign minister
[BERLIN] The European Union and the United States still have work to do to negotiate standards and procedures in a free trade agreement, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Tuesday.
Mr Steinmeier told over 1,000 diplomats and business executives that the two sides were still "far away" from the high quality of standards and procedures that the EU had been able to negotiate in a separate EU free trade deal with Canada.
He said the pace of negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) remained unclear after three years of talks, not least because of calls for caution by both US presidential candidates.
Germany's Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel on Sunday said the talks had "de facto failed".

The Brazilian led almost from start to finish, but was pressured throughout.
Button moved up to second when he made one less pit stop than his rivals, and just managed to hold off a charging Raikkonen on the final lap.
Michael Schumacher had an eventful race after starting from the pit lane and could finish only 12th.
The German spun on his qualifying lap, and Ferrari chose to start him from the pit lane to give him the best possible strategy.
He fought up to ninth place by lap 15 despite banging into Christian Klien's Jaguar but a quick spin dropped him briefly down to 12th delaying his fightback by a few seconds.
Schumacher found himself behind Jacques Villeneuve's Renault after both his problems and struggled to pass the Canadian both times.
Schumacher's team-mate Barrichello never had to fight off a passing attempt from Raikkonen, but nor could he ever relax as the McLaren driver kept the pressure up until their second stops.
But an attempt by McLaren to leapfrog Barrichello with a short third stint backfired when Raikkonen ran into traffic.
Barrichello said: "It was hard. I was under pressure but was able to be cool at the stops, open a decent gap and maintain first place.
"We knew at the beginning that we would have some trouble because we were graining the front tyres a little bit, but the tyres did a superb job. They held on really well.
"Towards the end I didn't push that much because I had an eight-second lead, but the graining stayed longer and I was struggling a little bit."
It was Barrichello's second win in a row and he said he was pleased to be finishing the season strongly.
"It's been a season where I have been playing catch-up to Michael. He started at a high level and for some reason I wasn't able to chalIenge him, but now things are going well," he said.
Ralf Schumacher had driven a solid race in his Williams on his return to F1 after three months out with an injury and was on course for fifth place but he was forced to retire after David Coulthard hit him from behind on lap 37.
The German eclipsed team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya, who said he struggled with his car at the technically demanding Chinese track.
Montoya inherited his team-mate's fifth place.
Coulthard, who has yet to secure a drive for next season, was an unconvincing ninth behind Takuma Sato's BAR and the Saubers of Giancarlo Fisichella and Felipe Massa.

Remove GandCrab 5.0.9 ransomware (Removal Instructions) - Quick Decryption Solution
GandCrab 5.0.9 ransomware – a file locking malware that blackmails users into paying ransom in return for decryptor
GandCrab 5.0.9 ransomware is the newest addition to the GandCrab 5 version. The virus was spotted[1] in early December, infecting users all over the world with the help of spam emails, exploits, unprotected RDPs, and similar methods. Once inside the system, GandCrab 5.0.9 virus opens a message box, swaps the wallpaper of the desktop, detects all personal files and adds an extension of six random characters, although this parameter can vary. For example, a sample.jpg will be turned into sample.jpg.spsjhw once the encryption process (completed with the help of Salsa20 and RSA-2048) is complete. Additionally, the malware drops ransom note [random_extension]-Decrypt.txt or [random_extension]-Decrypt.html where users can see all the information that is needed in order to allegedly recover the access to their pictures, music, videos, documents, and other files. GandCrab 5.0.9 authors usually ask for a large amount of money in Bitcoin or Dash cryptocurrency, although paying crooks if highly discouraged.
|GandCrab 5.0.9
|RSA-2048 and Salsa20
|File extension
|[random_6], although can vary
|Ransom note
|[random_extension]-Decrypt.txt, [random_extension]-Decrypt.html
|Up to $2,400 in Dash or Bitcoin
|Unprotected RDP, spam emails, exploits, etc.
|Use Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego or SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner to detect and eliminate the threat
It is highly likely that GandCrab 5.0.9 ransomware is still using Adobe Flash Player (CVE-2018-4878)[2] and Windows VBScript (CVE-2018-8174) vulnerabilities to propagate its payload. Therefore, it is vital to update your system on time, especially if you are using Adobe Flash Player (experts[3] do not recommend using it due to security holes).
As soon as the malicious code is executed, GandCrab 5.0.9 virus opens the pop-up wind that says:
We will become back very soon! 😉
It is clear that perpetrators are not native speakers, as GandCrab is mainly used as Ransomware as a service so that anybody can buy it on the black market. Nevertheless, the code of malware is continually improved, making GandCrab 5.0.9 ransomware removal is not an easy task. However, please refer to the last section of this article for the detailed guide.
Once victims read the ransom note, they are prompted to download and install TOR browser. This method is used because the TOR project allows crooks to remain anonymous, which is vital when it comes to criminal activity like blackmailing. To enter further details, users have to upload their ransom note (this functionality was not present in most of the previous GandCrab versions).
Users have a preset amount of time before the amount of ransom doubles. Those who agree to pay the demanded price in Bitcoin or Dash, are promised to receive the decryptor. However, we highly discourage you from contacting cybercriminals because they might scam you and not send the decryptor. Instead, remove GandCrab 5.0.9 ransomware with the help of anti-virus software like Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego and then proceed with file recovery by either using backups or third-party tools.
GandCrab 5.0.9 ransomware is a crypto virus that uses carious infiltration techniques, including exploit kits, weak RDP, spam emails, etc.
Beware of phishing emails – malicious attachments can result in ransomware infection
Spam emails are more than just a nuisance, as casually opening attachments or clicking on links inside might execute the malicious payload of ransomware virus. For that reason, you should learn how to recognize phishing emails and use extreme caution. Hackers employ bots that distribute thousands of such messages in the hopes of infecting as many systems as possible.
Besides spam emails, crooks also use the following ransomware propagation methods:
- Exploit kits (Fallout, Grandsoft, Rig);
- Backdoors;
- Brute-force attacks;
- Fake updates;
- Etc.
To prevent infiltration, always update your system on time, employ reputable security software, avoid dubious websites (torrent, porn, gambling, etc.), and use strong passwords for all your accounts. Additionally, always backup your files just in case.
GandCrab 5.0.9 virus removal instructions

Bonus: Recover your dataGuide which is presented above is supposed to help you remove GandCrab 5.0.9 from your computer. To recover your encrypted files, we recommend using a detailed guide prepared by 2-spyware.com security experts.
If your files are encrypted by GandCrab 5.0.9, you can use several methods to restore them:
Make use of Data Recovery Pro to get your files back
Data Recovery Pro is a professional file recovery tool that is originally created to recover data that was accidentally deleted or corrupted. However, it is known to be helpful for ransomware victims as well.
- Download Data Recovery Pro;
- Follow the steps of Data Recovery Setup and install the program on your computer;
- Launch it and scan your computer for files encrypted by GandCrab 5.0.9 ransomware;
- Restore them.

Finally, you should always think about the protection of crypto-ransomwares. In order to protect your computer from GandCrab 5.0.9 and other ransomwares, use a reputable anti-spyware, such as Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego, SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes
Access your website securely from any location
When you work on the domain, site, blog, or different project that requires constant management, content creation, or coding, you may need to connect to the server and content management service more often. It is a hassle when your website is protected from suspicious connections and unauthorized IP addresses.
The best solution for creating a tighter network could be a dedicated/fixed IP address. If you make your IP address static and set to your device, you can connect to the CMS from any location and do not create any additional issues for server or network manager that need to monitor connections and activities. This is how you bypass some of the authentications factors and can remotely use your banking accounts without triggering suspicious with each login.
VPN software providers like Private Internet Access can help you with such settings and offer the option to control the online reputation and manage projects easily from any part of the world. It is better to clock the access to your website from different IP addresses. So you can keep the project safe and secure when you have the dedicated IP address VPN and protected access to the content management system.
Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack
Computer users can suffer various losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings. Software issues created by malware or direct data loss due to encryption can lead to problems with your device or permanent damage. When you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work.
It is crucial to create updates to your backups after any changes on the device, so you can get back to the point you were working on when malware changes anything or issues with the device causes data or performance corruption. Rely on such behavior and make file backup your daily or weekly habit.
When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware occurs out of nowhere. Use Data Recovery Pro for the system restoring purpose.

A 10.10 carat vivid blue diamond is expected to set the record for the most expensive piece of jewelry sold at auction in Asia despite an ongoing growth slowdown in China's economy, Sotheby's said Friday, writes Daily Mail. The "De Beers Millennium Jewel 4" is expected to fetch between $30 million and $35 million at the April 5 sale in Hong Kong. The auction house describes it as, "a superb oval internally flawless fancy vivid blue diamond weighing 10.10 carats, which is the largest oval fancy vivid blue diamond ever to appear at auction." The diamond, which is slightly larger than an almond in size, came from South Africa's Cullinan Mine and was one of 12 displayed at London's Millennium Dome to mark the year 2000. "There are no more than a dozen or so blue diamonds of fancy vivid color and over 10 carats in the world, so they are very, very rare," Sotheby's Deputy Chairman for Asia Quek Chin Yeow told AFP.
The sale will come five months after the 12.03-carat "Blue Moon of Josephine" was bought for a record $48 million in Geneva by an Asian property tycoon - a further sign the jewellery auction market remains strong despite slowing Chinese growth. The world's second-largest economy expanded 6.9% in 2015, the worst performance in a quarter of a century and a far cry from years of double-digit increases. "Of course people are concerned about the China slowdown" Quek said, but added that sales of rare items seem to be largely unaffected by growth numbers. Sotheby's describes the diamond thusly: "De Beers Millennium Jewel 4, a superb oval internally flawless fancy vivid blue diamond weighing 10.10 carats, which is the largest oval fancy vivid blue diamond ever to appear at auction."

and we are so exciting to see her! Whenever I have an overnight guest coming to visit, I like to make sure they feel very welcome and at home in our home. A few little unexpected touches are sure to warm their heart.
Nicely folded extra thick towels in white feel fresh and lush. A little gift on top is an idea I learned from my sister. We often exchange new products that are small and easily fit in a carry on bag. Some of our past gifts have been the new Butter nail polish that is formaldahyde free, soaps, cute nail files, a sample of No Frizz by Living Proof. (perfect for the humid east coast!) In this case, it's peach soap by Provence Sante and a sample size No Frizz.
It's nice to have a carafe and glass for fresh water in the guest room. I bought this set a few years ago from Entertaining at Home. Just these small extra touches make your guest's visit more comfortable and extra special. I'm sure they'll know you want them to visit again!

Brands in various industries boost their sales by launching successful influencer marketing campaigns. When companies find the right influencers on multiple social platforms, they thrive in their industries. From Instagram to YouTube to Facebook, the possibilities are endless. Unfortunately, the key to success and the biggest struggle for most marketers is finding the right influencers to scale them up. In this post, you will learn how to find those influencers who are actively promoting themselves online.
Research Keywords
A great way to find influencers on social media is to research keywords on various social channels. This strategy enables you to find users who are relevant in your industry. You can use hashtags and social channel search bars to look up keywords. If you market for a yoga activewear company, you might search the hashtag "#yoga" on Instagram. The influencers who appear in the top hashtag results are good candidates to reach out to. They likely have followers who would be interested in the products or services you have to offer. Take advantage of the search tools social media platforms offer to find influencers that will scale your brand.
Discover Trending Posts
Another way to find influencers on social media is to discover them through trending posts. Most social platforms make it easy to view top posts and profiles. Instagram offers a designated tab for browsing through trending posts. These accounts usually have enough followers and engagement to get their content trending. If you would like to find smaller influencers, you can also view hashtags in order of popularity on some social media channels. Consumers who use Facebook observe trending articles frequently and share them on their own timelines, increasing the chances of you seeing them further. If you browse through trending posts, you will surely find candidates who would earn you more followers and better engagement. Hence, you need to discover trending posts to find influencers on social media.
Use An Influencer Platform
Moreover, influencer platforms provide marketing teams with ample opportunities. Websites such as Scalefluence.com enable you to search for influencers. You can filter your search based on influencer interests as well as location. This way, you can find influencers that will generate the most interest and engagement for your brand. Marketing professionals discover influencers looking for new roles within companies instantly with these tools. The top platforms even put you in direct contact with influencers who meet your qualifications. If you want a fast, easy, reliable solution to finding influencers across social platforms, an influencer platform is the perfect tool for you.
Ask For Recommendations
Marketers also succeed in finding influencers when they ask their network for recommendations. This is a particularly beneficial strategy for marketers who already know influencers personally or have a decent following on social media. After all, they make the best connections to other influencers because they work alongside them on a daily basis. If you do not know any influencers personally, but know of some who would make great candidates, you can use their social pages to find recommendations. When you follow an account on Instagram, the social channel itself provides you with suggested accounts that are similar to the one you just followed. Use this tool as well as your personal connections to find influencers for your social media campaigns.
Search On Popular Search Engines
Furthermore, you can discover quality influencers by searching on popular search engines. While this may seem like a fairly obvious avenue, many marketing professionals forget about search engines when searching for social media influencers. Although search engines like Google are not directly connected to social media accounts, they can identify popular social profiles, content and pages. By searching through the latest news and trends, you will find several influencers in your industry. Moreover, targeted keyword searches can offer you candidate options quickly. If you make your search specific and to the point, you can uncover quality influencers as fast as your internet can load.
Before you can launch a successful influencer marketing campaign, you need to find the right influencers. To do so, research keywords through search bars and hashtags on your preferred social platforms. Do not underestimate how insightful the trending post sections of social channels are. Influencer platforms provide marketers with ways to search and communicate with influencers in their specific industries. Ask your connections for influencer recommendations. Search for popular influencers on search engines like Google for fast results. Consider these ways of finding social media influencers to boost your sales.

In California, YIMBYs helped pass a new package of state laws aimed at creating more affordable housing. Recently, local YIMBYs helped elect self-proclaimed YIMBY state Sen. Scott Wiener, who's pushing for sweeping pro-housing bills in the state Legislature that will prevent cities and towns from banning apartment construction near transit and job centers.
YIMBYs are also pumped about newly elected Gov. Gavin Newsom, who calls California's housing crisis "an existential threat to our state's future." He promises to create 3.5 million new housing units by 2025 and to begin enforcing a law that requires cities and towns to meet regional housing needs.
IF A NEIGHBORHOOD IN LOS ANGELES most dramatizes the clash between so-called NIMBY and YIMBY values, it's Venice. Over the last decade, this once-eclectic, mixed-income town has become one of the most expensive neighborhoods in LA. The median rental price: $6,272 per month. The median home value: Almost $1.9 million.
Amenities have changed too, from hippie to hipster. The offices of Google and Snapchat are only a short walk away from Swinger's apartment. Walk a little farther, and a raw vegan restaurant sells kelp noodles for $18, a coffee shop offers $5 coffee blended with grass-fed butter, and an ice creamery churns $5-per-scoop vegan frozen treats.
But one persistent problem stains this up-and-coming scene: The homeless population in Venice has grown to about 1,000 individuals, and neighbors are complaining about human excrement, property theft, needles, and overflowing trash on their sidewalks.
Because of new legal measures that allow the homeless to camp on public property, police mostly leave the encampments alone. So residents decided to take care of the matter on their own: Recently, a group of residents raised more than $80,000 on a GoFundMe page to landscape a pedestrian pathway that for the last three years had become a mini-tent city. Though the neighbors supporting this project insist it's not "some anti-homeless agenda," the goal is clear: Plants and rocks would take the place of human bodies along the pathway.
Over the past few years the number of homeless in California has grown enough to form a separate city—134,000 in 2017, up 14 percent from 2016 according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). More than one-quarter of the nation's total homeless population lives in California, and LA County alone has more than 50,000 homeless individuals.

Remembering Terry Nish
Sad news arrives from the land speed racing community with the death of Terry Nish of Nish Motorsports. He was 80 years old. His accomplishments in racing put his name in many record books and dubbed the Nishes as the "World's Fastest Family"
Terry was into land speed racing since high school, but ended up to getting into open-wheel circle track racing. That part of his racing career spanned more than 25 years, eventually involving his sons. The racing took them all over the country and even to South Africa in 1983.
Terry retired from circle track in 1986 and eventually got back into his first love, land speed racing. Fast forward to 1992 and the unused streamliner owned by the Vesco family. Following a one year rebuild, it set a record on its maiden voyage in 1994 in B/Fuel class of 291.407mph. Over the next seven years the Vesco/Nish streamliner set thirteen records at Bonneville, Muroc, and El Mirage.
Terry and his team finally began building their own streamliner in 1999, which, on its first outing in 2002, ran 365mph. This was the car that Royal Purple eventually sponsored, helping get every Nish family driver into the 300mph club. It holds 16 national and world records.
The car was awarded the HOT ROD Magazine Top Time of the Meet Award three times. In 2004, the car ran 376.102mph, in 2007, it ran 380.046mph, and in 2008 the car was clocked at 371.080mph.
The team is still chasing one particular record for naturally aspirated, unlimited piston engine, wheel driven streamliners: the FIA Category A, Group 2, Class 11 world record. The best attempt and the team's top speed was in 2010 at 412.515 mph.
Off the track, Terry fathered the Utah Motorsports foundation. After a close friend fell on hard times in 1999, the foundation helped get him back on his feet. Within five years, the foundation raised more than $200,000 to help 33 families in motorsports and as of 2012 the foundation raised more than $757,000 with 120 racers and families assisted.
Terry's legacy will live on with his sons and team. We hope to see them still getting after records and doing what they and Terry loved to do. As Terry said, "What's the sense of going out there if you don't have a dream?"

So Calgary Expo just posted that Matt Smith is going to be a guest this year... Which worries me because DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY DAMN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRESSED AS WEEPING ANGELS???? There is a reason why I don't watch Doctor Who. When I was a kid, it scared the crap out of me. Got older, weeping angels. Scary.
On another note, the cast from Being Human is going to be there so I might just hide out at that panel for the entire day.... Sound like a plan?

Architect Cecile Bonnifait of Bonnifait + Giesen tells us how they have designed a house that works with the landscape, both internally and externally
Q&A with Architect Cecile Bonnifait of Bonnifait + Giesen
How does the house respond to its landscape?
The house lies within a gently contoured Hawke's Bay vineyard facing sea views in the distance. It's designed as a sculptural folded roof creating a large canopy over the different quarters and echoing the surrounding landscape. Landscaping was planned to embed the house within its site, with all excavated fill being used to add to the gentle contours.
Tell us about the roof angles?
It mirrors the gentle topography of the surrounding landscape and was conceived as a single, gently folded structure that cloaks the entire house. As you move around the exterior, the form changes from what appears to be a simple gable typical of traditional rural New Zealand buildings, to more radical viewpoints where the different roof planes can be understood. With the roof sloping in two directions, the ply interior was highly crafted to ensure all panels fitted together harmoniously.
How does the internal design flow?
The main circulation of the house, acting as a central spine, was developed parallel to the coast and running from the entrance and garage/workshop wing through the living areas, the sleeping areas to the separate studio wing. All of these spaces, connected from the inside through that central spine, are also connected from the outside by the verandah. A separate deck is positioned to the south-west to provide a sheltered area from the prevailing sea breezes, while at the same time visually linked to the sea.
How does the design of the roof connect with internal spaces?
The roof line is developed from the high point that contains the living area and slowly reduces through the more intimate sleeping and working spaces.

#CITHeist: How ANC man was nabbed
Johannesburg - A crack cash-in-transit heist-busting unit proved to be the downfall of the ANC Luthuli House staffer who is allegedly embroiled in several "heinous crimes".
Brigadier Vishnu Naidu said on Wednesday that Errol Velile Present, who worked at the governing party's Joburg headquarters, was nabbed by a multidisciplinary team for allegedly being involved in a mall robbery in Dobsonville, Soweto on July 4.
This comes as the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and the Hawks have said more charges could be added to the one that Present is facing in a case which has drawn sharp attacks aimed at the ANC by its political foes.
John Botha, a labour attorney, has also said that Present's dismissal could have violated labour laws if he was fired without the ANC following extensive disciplinary proceedings, where his side of the story was also heard.
Naidu, spokesperson for National Police Commissioner Khehla Sitole, said the "high-density stabilisation team" operated under the mantra of the "72-hour action plan", which alleged robber Present fell prey to.
The team, Naidu added, included crime intelligence, the Hawks, SAPS detectives and special tactical teams such as the police's task force, among others.
"So, when a crime is committed, we mobilise the multidisciplinary team and try to identify, trace and arrest the suspects within 72 hours.
"It (the strategy) has proved to be very successful," he said.
"The action plan was also employed in Dobsonville. We might not necessarily arrest the people within 72 hours.
"But, more often than not, (72-hour arrests) are happening. For the Dobsonville robbery, it (the heist) happened on a Wednesday - by Saturday, the suspects were arrested, which was within the 72 hours," Naidu emphasised.
Four vehicles - a Ford Ranger, Volvo, Peugeot and Kia Picanto - believed to have been hijacked were retrieved during the arrests.
Present, who appeared in court with three other suspects on Tuesday, gained notoriety yesterday following a statement by Joburg mayor Herman Mashaba, in which he chastised the ANC for employing someone who "brazenly (undermines) public safety and the rule of law"
ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe said the governing party had dismissed Present from Luthuli House and instituted internal disciplinary action, which could see him suspended for his "arrest and appearance in court on allegations of a number of heinous crimes".
However, attorney Botha said consistency was one of the key fairness factors before dismissing an employee, adding that other ANC leaders had invoked the "innocent until proved guilty defence", which had seemingly not applied to Present.
Phindi Mjonondwane, spokesperson for the Gauteng NPA, confirmed Present's appearance in court - along with his co-accused - on charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances.
Mjonondwane, however, pointed out that more charges, including the possession of stolen property, could be added to the charges Present faced once investigators had concluded their investigation.
Hawks national spokesperson Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi confirmed that investigations were continuing, but he pointed out that Present's arrest was an indication that law enforcers had enough evidence to nab him and his co- accused.
"We investigate to arrest; we don't arrest to investigate," Mulaudzi asserted.
He added that the unit, along with prosecutors, would oppose bail for the four suspects because of the seriousness of the crimes which they were arrested for.
"We make sure that we give compelling evidence as to why we want the person to be incarcerated, why we want a person not to get bail," Mulaudzi emphasised.
The suspects would remain in custody until their bail hearing, which was expected on July 31.
According to his social media profile, Present was an avowed ANC member who openly supported President Cyril Ramaphosa to succeed Jacob Zuma as the party's president in the lead-up to its national conference in December.
Present even considered running for high office within the ANC as its Joburg regional treasurer, announcing his candidature online and garnering some support.
The DA has used this incident to attack the ANC, with John Moodey, the party's Gauteng leader, charging that the ANC had failed to bring criminals and corrupt people, even within its own ranks, to justice.
However, Mabe was quick to point out the governing party had supported efforts to investigate, arrest and charge perpetrators of high-priority crimes.@khayakoko88

The superior qualities of silk:
The organic silk used by Ruskovilla is GOTS-certified. It is manufactured in accordance with stringent and closely monitored environmental and social criteria to ensure that it improves the wellbeing of people and the environment in the long term.
Silk is a luxurious natural fibre that has been manufactured in China for 5,000 years. Ruskovilla's GOTS-certified organic silk comes from the mountain slopes in the province of Sichuan in central China. Organic silk differs from mass-produced silk most of all with regard to its quality: an individual silkworm that has eaten the leaves of organically farmed mulberry trees can produce up to 1,500 metres of high-quality, single-filament silk. It is from this high-quality single-filament silk that Ruskovilla's organic silk clothing is made.
Organic silk production accounts for e.g. the following:
The leaves of the mulberry tree (Morus alba) used to feed the domestic silkmoth (Bombyx mori) are grown organically without any artificial fertiliser or artificial pesticides.
The mulberry trees are grown in a simulated natural environment along with a range of fruit trees and other plant species, rather than in isolation. A diverse environment thrives and provides a good habitat for the buzzing bees, nesting birds, and other animals.
Production is organised in accordance with the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) standard so that employees work in a safe, fair and equal working environment.
The organic silk manufacturing process involves a lot of manual labour, and provides employment for the area's inhabitants.
The silk producers receive higher remuneration for the high-quality silk than for normal silk, so productivity also improves.
Organic silk clothing is manufactured in Finland, and the clothing is not treated with any finishing products.
How is GOTS-certified silk produced?
In recent decades, the traditional method of manufacturing silk has given way to mass production, which can be seen in the poorer quality of both the soil and silk. There are currently only a few GOTS-certified silk farms in the world, but we hope and believe that the organic silk production industry will expand in the future.
Silk is a material that requires several different work phases and craftsmanship, which also explains the value of the material. There are dozens of moth species that spin silk, of which the most important is the domestic silkmoth, which feeds on the leaves of the mulberry tree. The species has been domesticated and is farmed to produce silk. The silk used by Ruskovilla is mulberry silk.
Silk production begins with growing the silkworms' food, mulberry trees. In spring, the silkmoth's eggs hatch into larvae with huge appetites; around 250-300kg of mulberry leaves grown in accordance with organic standards are required for every kilogram of raw silk.
The larvae are fed mulberry leaves on shelving which has been built underneath protective shelters. The leaves must be chopped up finely for the smaller larvae, which are fed five times per day, including night-feeds. The larger larvae are given leaves three times per day.
During their growth phase, the larvae moult four times, with their appetite only increasing each time. Their munching can be heard and seen. The growth phase lasts for around a month, after which time the fully grown larvae are ready to enclose themselves in a cocoon. When fully grown, they are around 8-9cm long and weigh about 4g. During the growth phase, their weight will have increased one thousand-fold.
Once the larvae have achieved their full size, they stop eating and search for one of the cardboard "cells" that have been made for them. To protect themselves, the larvae spin a cocoon from two different threads formed in the salivary glands. The cocoon, woven over 3-4 days in a figure-of-eight shape, can contain up to 1,500 metres of single-filament silk.
The silkworm develops into a moth in a couple of weeks. The fully grown silkmoth releases enzymes to break the cocoon. It does not fly, and lives only a short while after emerging to breed. The female lays an average of 500 eggs, which develop into new larvae for the next breeding cycle. Shown below is the silkmoth's fascinating life cycle, which repeats continuously. This is why ancient China considered the silkmoth to be a symbol of immortality, and cared for the larvae conscientiously in accordance with the cosmic rhythm of the night sky.
The majority of cocoons are collected before the larvae have time to develop into moths.
In cocoons collected for silk production, the moth is not allowed to release the enzyme so that the silk thread remains as intact as possible. The cocoons are treated with hot air or steam, which kills the larvae. The cocoons are then placed into hot water containers, and the outermost layer of sericin that covers the cocoon is brushed away. Below that is fine silk filament, or long silk fibre, which can form single threads up to 1,5 km in length. It is from this material that our new silk knitwear is made.
We can follow the different phases of the silk's further production into a fantastic end product in the pictures below.

Hello All,
I have an older TM2 and I am wanting to do some upgrades as I see them. The table itself is a 4 x 8 and doesn't owe me a cent hence the reason I would like to look into upgrading and "tightening" the operation up prior ro considering the purchase of a newer table.
I have just installed new motors on the x and y, as I added an z axis along with a Stingray THC Lifter by Flashcut CNC. I cant remember the size of the motors but can get that information if required to help define mt setup.
What I am now looking to do is;
1. Add another motor on the x axis (that will be slave) so that I can improve some cutting smoothness. The cuts are fine, I just feel that I am wearing through the shaft that connects both pinions prematurely. I feel that this is due to the weight of the gantry. The cassette on there is 30mm (+/-) and all it carries is the plasma torch and the THC Lifter. I figure that thing (gantry) to be at about 160lbs (guess) so if I can lighten the load I'd like to;
2. Rack location. For those that are familiar with this model of table the rack is on the inside. I dislike that now based on a year ago when I wasn't that conversant with CNC anything. So I would like to move those rack to the outside;
3. Look at cost effective options to expand this table to a 5 x 10 short of buying a new one. Perhaps the better option is to do that but I am happy with everything else and there seems to be a hidden value in building it myself rather than getting someone to do it for me. I can stay with the 4 x 8 but having the flexibility of a 5 x 10 makes getting max use out of a 4 x 8 sheet not such a consumption of time in set up.
4. I'd like to build a pendant. Again for a satisfaction thing. Currently I run all my controlling from my work station which is facing away from the table when cutting. When babysitting it, I'd like to be able to manipulate position of torch and stop as I see fit. Is this even possible?
I know a lot for a newb, but I am somewhat familiar with my setup and not afraid to tackle a challenge especially in the name of knowing how to do it. I feel that to be a problem if I just source all these upgrades. If it comes to a problem I will never know how to fix it. Already the case at times with the software that I run.
So any pointers, suggestions, places to look, things to consider would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps pictures of previous similar upgrades? I am going to target this upgrade for Jan 2021 as that is my assumed slow period, so I have between now and then to find parts, line up build, etc to limit downtime once I take the machine down.
Thanks in advance folks.
