Benefits of Website for Business Owners
There are many benefits of website for business owners. A small business owner typically have many things to do! Therefore, we need all the benefits of a website for small business we can get. You have to take care of your customers by providing them with the goods or services that they need. However, at the end of the day, who has time to market to new customer.
Ultimately, this is the essence to answering the question, why start a website for business?
To start, a small business website design customer will have an opportunity to market constantly, capture leads, and market to a target audience. To explain, I will list more benefits of website for business owners below.
Perks of Getting on The Web
1. 24-Hour Marketing
Once you start a small business website, you have the ability to market your small business 24/7. However, this does not happen automatically. A small business website must be search engine optimized. In this way, when a potential customer searches online for a service or product that you sell, search engines can help them land on your website.
2. Get In Front of a Target Audience
When your small business website is properly search engine optimized, you will get in front of a highly targeted audience. This is one of the major benefits of website for business owners. Search engine optimization can result in free website visitors.
3. Display Products & Services
Once you get new and existing customer on your website, they can view your products and services. In this way, you can educate potential customers about your products and services. Therefore, providing yet another one of the benefits of website for business owners.
4. Let New Customers Find You
With a search engine optimized website, you have customers that are looking for you. This is in contrast to you looking for them. Clearly, one of the benefits of a website for small business.
5. Capture an Audience
Another one of the benefits of website for business is that you can capture an audience in many different ways with a business website. First, by incorporating search engine optimization. Secondly, you can capture leads by collecting contact information. And third, you can educate potential customers with a company blog. A blog can be a excellent tool to use for marketing to new and existing customers.
6. Increase Brand Awareness
When you put your small business online, you have the potential to be in front of a very large audience. However, this does not happen automatically. To receive the benefits of a website for small business, you must have a marketing strategy that includes search engine optimization. However, when you give a potential customer a business card with your business website address, they can learn more about your products and services. In fact, they may share your website information (products and services) with others.
7. Capture Leads (Email List Building)
Another beneficial reason for having a small business website is to capture leads or build an email list. Leads are typically captured for service-related businesses. Customers can request a quote for your housekeeping, gutter cleaning, roofing, plumbing, and other things. However, email list building is different and a highly effective re-marketing tool.
8. Re-Market to Potential Customers
After setting up analytics for your small business website, you can use this information to pay for highly-targeted marketing. For example, when a customer visits your web page and searches for something in particular, this data is collected. Once this person navigates to another website, your paid advertisement can be displayed to them. In this way, potential customers are reminded about your product or service. Even if they do not make a purchase, you are increasing your brand awareness.
9. Collect Payments
Depending on the small business services that you offer, a website is a convenient way for customers to pay for routine services provided. For example, daycares may add a convenient way for customers to pay their childcare expenses each week by adding a payment feature on their small business website. In addition, a lawn service may add a place for customers to pay for services online.
10. Increase Business Sales
If you own a local brick and mortar business, when you start a website for business, you can find a whole new online customer-base. In this way, you can increase sales and your ability to market to new customers.
11. Repeat Customers
Once you get a customer online, you can offer them a discount for subscribing to your company newsletter, website, or blog. In this way, you can market to an existing customer in order to get and keep repeat business. This is typically accomplished using online email marketing campaigns.
Concluding Thoughts
You can see that there are many benefits of a website for business. Therefore, you can learn about building and keeping up your business website using Kreatif Solutions. Please leave your thoughts and comment below. This concludes – benefits of a website for small business owners.

I want to go to Ireland in the summer but I heard hotel prices go up since its the peak time of year for tourism. How much more expensive is it then going in late April or May? What about food prices?
It depends on how you purchase that food. If you buy at a local supermarket and prepare it yourself in a self-catering apartment, it will be a bit cheaper than buying in a restaurant.
Hotel accommodation can be double in the summer months. You could also look at family-run bed and breakfast accommodation in family homes, these are very common over here and a lot nicer than the big hotels. www.familyhomes.ie.

Israeli authorities are to consider expelling human shields working in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The Israeli authorities are considering expelling foreign peace activists acting as human sheilds for Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Haaretz daily reported Friday.
The paper reported that Israel's top brass and foreign ministry officials met this week to discuss means of expelling activists.
Israeli bulldozers crushed to death
A foreign ministry spokesman confirmed that meetings had been held but said no decision had yet been reached.
"We discussed the issue of these so-called pacifists, who are in closed military zones where they are not allowed and are putting their own lives at risk," a spokesman was quoted by AFP as saying.
Activists from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) have been in the news several times recently, especially in the occupied Gaza Strip's southern border city of Rafah.
On 16 March Israeli bulldozers crushed to death American peace activist Rachel Corrie, a member of ISM, opposing the bulldozing of a Palestinian home in Gaza.
A month later a second British activist was pronounced clinically dead after being shot by the army when trying to protect children from Israeli fire in the same area.
On Thursday another young British activist was arrested as she was spending the night in a house to prevent its demolition by Israeli troops. She was accused of being in a "closed military area" and expelled to the occupied West Bank.
"If we are not welcome, it is first and foremost because we are witnesses of the atrocities carried out by the Israeli army," ISM spokesman Tom Wallace said Friday.
The ISM has around 50 foreign activists in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, he said, adding they were already rejected at the airport if identified as peace activists.

It's long been speculated that the ICO market was in a bubble, and that bubble had burst in early 2018, leading to a continual decrease in the number of ICO investments (October saw only $821 million being raised by ICO's, the lowest in all of 2018). However, the events in the past few days more than add more evidence to the notion that the ICO market may, in fact, be dead.
On November 16th, two major blockchain projects, Paragon (PRG) and Air Token (AIR) were ordered by the SEC to refund investors from the money raised through their ICO. The SEC has investigated the projects and concluded that their tokens were unregistered securities.
Airfox raised $15m and is now down 93% in its token price. Paragon, which raised $12m, now has a total market cap of just under $3m.
The significance of this event is that it marks the first time that the SEC is penalizing non-fraudulent ICO's. Up until this point, the SEC had set its target on blatantly fraudulent ICO's, like Centra, the Floyd Mayweather backed ICO which raised $32million last year and was later determined to have made false claims to lure investors, and was also an unregistered security.
Now the SEC seems to be setting its sights on crypto projects that launched ICO's with good intentions, but without security understanding of the legalities involved.
Despite this crackdown, it doesn't look like being penalized by the SEC is a death sentence. Both Paragon and AirFox agreed to register the tokens as securities within 90 days and to pay a substantial fine. By providing this leeway, the SEC has created a model for companies that have previously issued tokens in ICO's and now seek to comply with federal securities laws.
The final nail in the coffin for the American ICO market?
The US investor protection laws have made it particularly tumultuous for ICO's. Unlike the rest of the world, the US makes an apparent distinction between retail 'unsophisticated' investors and sophisticated ones using a process of accreditation.
In the United States, accredited investor rules dictate that you must have a net worth of at least $1,000,000, or earn an income of at least $200,000 each year for the last two years.
The assumption with this status is that only people with large amounts of money should be afforded the privilege of investing in risky companies where their entire investment could drop to zero.
Although the goal is supposed to be to protect regular investors, this is the opposite case.
Influencers in the crypto space, like Ethereum inventor Vitalik Buterin have shared their honest thoughts on accredited investors:
"I personally am willing to publicly say that I find current accredited investor rules of many countries, which allow only millionaires to invest in securities, very unfair and plutocratic, and in some cases they can make things actually worse because they mean regular people can only buy in at higher prices and thus more easily become victims."
Many who understand that the only way to make 'real' money as an investor is the get in early have expressed this sentiment.
Accredited Investors have the privilege of investing in stocks or tokens at a 50% discount, and can simply choose to sell their stake once the stocks or tokens go public and everyone else starts buying in. This creates a cycle whereby accredited investors don't even have to recognize any long-term value in a company in order to profit. They merely have to get in early and rely on non-accredited investors to jump in later so they can benefit off of them.
In the end, the regular investors whom the laws are supposed to protect end up getting hurt because, by the time they have bought in, the price can only go down, as accredited investors begin to sell their stake.
Under these circumstances, projects like Paragon and AirFox get to hit the reset button on their funding structure essentially, cut out all the unaccredited retail investors who initially funded their project: either by paying them back the money they put in or just paying enough people back to satisfy the SEC. Then, as a registered security, replace those retail investors with accredited investors, ensuring that the rich get richer, while the everyday investor is forced to buy in at premium prices.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, countries like Switzerland have fully embraced ICO's, and are even now in the midst of launching the first crypto ETF, which will open the doors for institutional investors to buy cryptocurrencies in a way not yet possible for US investors.
Market saturation and lack of a business model
Other factors that have led to ICO's failing include Market Saturation and lack of business model:
Market Saturation
In any marketplace, the downside to low barriers to entry is a high volume of low-quality entrants.
Last year's crypto market explosion, whereas Bitcoin's price reached a high of nearly $20K, opened the floodgates for pretty much any business idea promising to change the world. The vast majority of these companies was seeking to get rich quickly, while most of the others had honest intentions, but still failed (or are failing) due to poor execution, lack of a business model or clear value proposition.
Companies must find a way to stand out by offering unique solutions to fundamental problems that require decentralization to work.
Furthermore, in 2018, companies need much more than a white paper to stand out from the crowd. They must either have an MVP developed, an organically built community of early supporters, or a series of legitimate partnerships and LOI's from reputable institutions. All of these factors will help companies establish credibility in the currently over-saturated market.
Lack of a business model
This is sadly a common theme amongst the first batch of companies that ride the wave of any revolutionary new technology. The hype usually outweighs the expectation that founders should develop a plan to generate revenue.
We've seen it happen during the dot-com bubble, the Silicon Valley 'app bubble' in the mid-2010's and once again in 2017 with blockchain companies.
As of today, we're already seeing nearly 50% of ICO's from 2017 fail due to lack of a sound business model to propel them through the bottom end of the hype cycle.
Simply relying on funds raised from selling tokens is not going to be enough to maintain a globally distributed business operation.
ICO startups carry the expectation of publicly funded Fortune 500 Companies, while only existing for a matter of months and being operated by part-time, semi-experienced founders.
This uniquely unfortunate position is further compounded by the fact that ICO's are competing with Fortune 500 companies who already have sophisticated business models and established customer bases.
The most successful blockchain companies understand that disrupting major industries is going to take more than disruptive technology. Partnerships are being forged, and high-level business executives are being recruited to help these companies create sophisticated revenue strategies, particularly for tokenized Dapps where the traditional rules of demand and supply require reexamination.
ICO's represent a revolutionary form of funding that was designed to provide financial opportunities to investors regardless of their accreditation. This funding mechanism is still in its very early stages and requires checks and balances to be implemented to keep bad actors at bay, while still offering investors the maximum freedom to fund whatever projects they choose.
It remains to be seen how the ideal ICO will be structured. Questions around regulatory guidelines, skills of the founding team, and the quality of problems being solved through blockchain technology still need more concrete answers. Ultimately, the crypto space needs to work to ensure that ICO's survive the current bear market; otherwise, we risk falling back into more traditional investing structures that primarily function to serve those who are already wealthy, leaving behind the thousands of non-accredited investors who were responsible for funding the crypto revolution in the first place.


text: HOT TOPICS Go With the FLOW z/OS V2.3 Migration book is transformed to a z/OSMF workflow L ooking for the "z/OS* V2.3 Migration" book? Don't look now, but it's been transformed into an IBM z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) workflow. For the past decade, whenever you upgraded to a new release of z/OS, you turned to the venerable migration book. You've come to rely on this critical asset for all the important details. Marna Walle is a senior technical staff member for z/OS installation and migration in z/OS Development at IBM Systems, Poughkeepsie, New York. Wayne O'Brien is an advisory software engineer at IBM Poughkeepsie. He holds a Master of Science degree in technical communications from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. IBM understands. That's why the z/OS Migration Workflow takes the book's content as its foundation and builds on that with the latest enhancements in z/OSMF. Rest assured, all of the important content remains and the book is still being published, but the z/OS migration process is now easier to perform and manage as a z/OSMF workflow. What's New in z/OS V2.3 If you've used any of the previous z/OS migration workflows, you're familiar with the concept: Through the z/OSMF Workflows task, you can assign individual work items (the "workflow steps") to various people in your organization (the "step owners") and track their progress. As handy as that is, the new z/OS V2.3 Migration Workflow goes even farther by using the latest functions in z/OSMF to provide a smoother migration experience, as follows: 44 // MARCH/APRIL 2018 ibmsystemsmag.com * * * Adds the ability to skip steps for features of z/OS that you aren't using Invokes IBM Health Checker for z/OS health checks directly from the applicable steps Provides the option to send feedback on your migration experience directly to IBM Let's take a closer look at these enhancements. More in Tune With Your Environment A migration workflow typically includes several hundred migration actions-basically everything that's been documented for a given z/OS release upgrade. However, you probably don't need to do all of them and many are fine to skip over. For instance, do you run JES3? If not, you can skip the JES3 migration actions. The same thing goes for JES2. What about Infoprint Server? And how about the priced features? And zFS? If you aren't using something, you won't be migrating it. So, why doesn't the z/OS Migration Workflow know enough to skip the migration actions associated with features you're not using? In z/OS V2.3, it does. The workflow begins by running a discovery step: "Step 1: Discover z/OS features in use." Here, the workflow queries your configuration and determines which priced features are currently in use on your system. Armed with this knowledge, the workflow then automatically skips the associated migration actions for unused functions. In the earlier workflows, you needed to view each step and manually mark it as "skipped." But what happens if you later decide to enable one of those priced features, thereby making those migration actions now applicable? You can either rerun the discovery step or return to the skipped steps and perform them. The skipped migration actionshttp://www.ibmsystemsmag.com

Arse Train Lines
Line Map
|Transit type
|Commuter rail
|Number of lines
|Began operation
|LuaATC environment
Arse Train Lines (ATL) are the train lines run by ARSE7. They serve Silver Coast and the surrounding areas of Ocean City, Crossroads, and Colored Grasses, with long-distance trains to Origin and Personhood West. Most of the newer lines are built by nanepiwo with interlocking by ywang and nanepiwo. At the moment, LuaATC is provided by Crossroads Transport.
Current Services
The lines are mostly double-tracked, but single-tracked near and in terminal stations. Gold line uses a subway wagon marked line 1. Some call this train a shittle. Zinc Line uses Japanese trains
In March 2019, Arse built a line between Naverbuild and the edge of a cliff (later Ocean City). The train had only one track and stopped at Mushroom Land. This was also known as ARSE7 Line 1. As the city grew, another express line was built next to ARSE7 Line 1. This was known as the Ocean City Express. After Ocean City became inactive, tracks for Ocean City Express wad extended to Silver Coast. The tracks were later used by Silver Line.
On 17 April 2019, nanepiwo decided it was a good idea to extend the track to Ehlodex. So, a tunnel was built to there. In addition, nanepiwo placed ATC tracks on the rails throughout the ATL network, creating the following services:
- ARSE7 Line 1 (now Gold Line) - Neverbuild > Mushroom Land > Ocean City
- Ocean City Express (later known as Silver Line) - Neverbuild > Ocean City > Silver Coast > Ehlodex
Later, Silver Line was modified to use only the Ocean City - Ehlodex tracks, freeing the Ocean City - Neverbuild track, which was later used by Gold Line.
With the construction of Crossroads, ywang asked if ARSE7 would build a train line to Crossroads. The request was accepted, and the Mithril Line was built.
On 04 May 2019, nanepiwo extended the Mithril line tracks to connect them to Silver Line. A new underground Silver Coast station closer to the city hall was built, and the line extended to Ehlodex. Smacker did the interlocking.
On 05 May 2019, nanepiwo and ARSE7 built another exit to this station on its west side. It now has a tunnel to Shopping Center and access to the elevator to the glider jump area.
Discussion for the proposed Zinc Line began on 12 May 2019. Plans originally called for a southern terminus at pseudonyme's shop. However, the line will instead go to the Berton Street Station. Tunnels for the line were completed on 26 May 2019, which was later shared with Bronze Line.
On 19 May 2019, Silver Line was rerouted between Silver Coast and Ocean City to follow the landscape. Trip times are now shorter as well. This was built in conjunction with the first phase of the Bronze Line. The stone tile floating bridge was largely demolished, freeing up the skies of Ocean City.
At the end of May 2019, Silver Line was discontinued and its bridge entirely demolished. Service to Ocean City now uses Zinc Line, which uses a dual-bore tunnel under Silver Coast Bay and the new trackbed north of it. ARSE7 built a new station at Ocean City, with platforms long enough to house Zinc Line trains. Zinc Line was put into operation along with Bronze Line except the West Mountains - Crossroads City Hall section.
On 7 June 2019, the West Mountains - Crossroads City Hall section has been completed and interlocked.
On 8 June 2019, the track to Personhood West was completed with help from Smacker and Och_Noe. The Bronze Line now stops at track 7 in the station. It was the first train to begin operation to there that was not part of Hume Line.

Following a recent mandatory three-year review, RMD Kwikform businesses in UAE, Oman and Qatar have retained its Bronze status by the Investors In People (IiP) International, with RMD Kwikform India achieving the accreditation for the first time – no small feat for a business that has only been operating for 4 years.
Investors in People is a business improvement framework, that helps organizations meet their business targets and improve performance. This framework operates through three core principles – plan, do and review – which are applied throughout the business. To achieve accreditation, businesses are assessed against a number of criteria – this number is increased in order to achieve the Bronze level. As part of the review RMD Kwikform was assessed on how it plans, executes and reviews its business and how its people work to the IiP framework to improve business performance.
Commenting on the impact Investors in People has had on the business, RMD Kwikform Middle East Divisional Operations Director, Paul Williams said: "We received initial accreditation back in 2009 and in 2012 were awarded Bronze status. Since then have continued to work through the IiP framework in what have been very challenging and changing times for the economy and business environments we operate in.
"It is therefore extremely rewarding to see that the work carried out by each and every one of our staff has been accredited and rewarded by IiP with its Bronze accreditation. In particular, by working to the IiP framework, our customers can see that we are a business that is committed to our people and operational objectives.
"By publicly declaring our business makes the best of all our people and that we recognise their contribution, we are able to develop and maintain a culture of continuous improvement. We can also see that there is a clear link between individual performance and the achievement of business objectives and these encompass the overall culture and values of our company."
Part of RMD Kwikform Middle East's investment in its people and the business was to commit funding and resources to achieving, maintaining and delivering business strategies aligned to the IiP framework. A key driver throughout the process was RMD Kwikform's Regional HR Manager, Sarah Prince who added: "The process of retaining accreditation was one that relied upon the co-operation and participation of management and staff, as the assessor could select any member of the team to interview. It is certainly a milestone to achieve accreditation, but retaining and continuously driving forward to retain the Bronze award, takes a step change in thinking, actions and effort."
Paul added: "IiP accreditation is not just about values, it is about aspiration, attracting and keeping the best talent and in-turn delivering a service to customers that we are proud of and that reflects their needs. Our aim as a business is to be the most widely respected and successful formwork supplier in the Middle East and IiP plays a key role in this."

Professional contractors help you and your family get skylight leaks and other roofing problems quickly solved. Quality Discount Roofing is a company that likes to take care of its customers. Many people own older homes that need regular maintenance. Our roofers repair skylights or completely replace a roof.
Unfortunately, leaking skylights are more common than they should be. Sometimes the skylights and the flashing around them are improperly installed, to begin with. Sometimes flashing becomes corroded or is damaged by storm debris or even hail.
Sometimes water dripping from a skylight isn't caused by a leak at all. Instead, condensation may be forming where there isn't enough insulation around a skylight.
When faced with water dripping from your skylight, the first step is contacting a roofer, who will inspect the roof above and below the skylight and make obvious repairs. If those don't work, you may need to call someone to replace the flashing around the skylight.

We've got a few interesting casting stories to attend to this afternoon. Briefly:
- Game of Thrones actor Aidan Gillen (aka Littlefinger) has landed the Big Bad role in the next YA franchise, signing on to play the antagonist in the Maze Runner sequel The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials.
- John Slattery is the latest familiar face to join the cast of Seth MacFarlane's now-filming comedy sequel Ted 2.
- Guy Pearce and Dominic West (The Wire) have joined the fantastic ensemble cast for the literary drama Genius, playing a couple of legendary novelists.
More on the aforementioned casting after the jump.
20th Century Fox is moving incredibly quickly on a sequel to the YA adaptation The Maze Runner after it opened to solid box office last weekend, already setting The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials for release next September. THR reports that Game of Thrones and The Wire alum Aidan Gillen has been tapped to play the villainous Janson aka Rat-Man in the sequel, which is set to begin production next month. Director Wes Ball and star Dylan O'Brien return for the follow-up, which finds the surviving teens on the run in the Earthly wasteland that has been ravaged by solar flares.
Additionally, HitFix reports that Mad Men star John Slattery will appear in director Seth MacFarlane's comedy sequel Ted 2. Mark Wahlberg returns as the lead with Amanda Seyfried taking over as the female lead from Mila Kunis, and the cast also includes Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman. However, given that MacFarlane's films have proved to be quite extended-cameo-heavy, it's likely that Slattery won't have that large of a role—especially since production on the follow-up has been underway for a couple of months now. The sequel opens in theaters June 26, 2015.
Finally, the cast of director Michael Grandage's drama Genius has expanded by two. Variety reports that Guy Pearce and Dominic West are joining Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Linney in the story of the relationship between Thomas Wolf and editor Max Perkins. Law and Firth star as Wolf and Perkins, respectively, and Pearce will play F. Scott Fitzgerald while West will play Ernest Hemingway. John Logan penned the script and production begins next month in the U.K.

Tribeca Film Festival Documentary Film Offers Never-Before-Seen Look Into 'The Life and Times of DJ AM'
Rinse Daily was blessed to be in attendance for the Tribeca Film Festival premiere screening of the new and much-anticipated biopic "As I AM: The Life And Time$ of DJ AM." Holding true to the title, the film told the story from an unfiltered perspective, detailing the extreme highs of DJ AM's career, which included signing the First-Ever Million Dollar Deal for a DJ residency, and landing the most exclusive gigs imaginable, ranging from Madonna's own backyard birthday party to spinning Tony Stark's party in the first "Iron Man" movie. DJ AM is credited as an inventor and pioneer the "mash-up" technique, and neither Hip-Hop nor EDM as a genres would be what they are today without his influence.
However, DJ AM's life included many instances of rock-bottom, as he struggled throughout his life to curb an addiction to crack cocaine and other lethal drugs. As Director Kevin Kerslake stated during the Q&A session, this was a story of "sex, drugs and rock and roll," but also a "tragedy."
He did successfully manage to stay sober for 11 years which coincided with his astronomically successful run, but a 2008 plane crash in which he and Travis Barker were the sole survivors played into his eventual overdose and death, as he was placed on Xanax and painkillers to recover from his burns and injuries.
Ultimately, this docufilm tells the story of an addict who lived a manic obsession with whatever his mind was preoccupied with, be it Music, Fame, Success or Drugs. It celebrates the life of a man who was and will always continue to be an icon for so many around the world, and yet a cautionary tale to those who are trapped in the tangled web of success and addiction.

In 1996, Binti the gorilla protected a 3-year-old boy from harm who fell into the gorilla enclosure. She tended to the boy as she was taught by animal trainers to tend after her own child. Just like the gorilla Harambe, who was recently shot at the Cincinnati Zoo, Binti was raised in captivity. But Binti's upbringing tells how she was particularly close with, and spoiled by, her human trainers.
The problem with most wild animals is that they are unpredictable. Seeing Harambe, a huge male gorilla standing over a child, is probably what made the zoo staff pick up their guns. Nobody was sure what Harambe was doing. In the case of Binti, she clutched the boy as if carrying a child.
Another reason Binti didn't suffer the same fate as Harambe could be Binti's training. The problem is that when gorillas are trained to be too tame and friendly to humans, they are at a disadvantage in the wild. But if they exhibit wild behavior while in captivity, they could meet Harambe's fate in those rare cases of such incidents.
Both Binti and Harambe are critically endangered western lowland gorillas. These species of gorilla are the ones most often found in zoos. All gorillas are endangered due to poaching, the spread of Ebola, and habitat destruction. They are also killed for their meat.

This project investigates this rapidly emerging social harm from the perspectives of key stakeholders (such as legal services, police and support agencies) as well as the experiences of victims of image-based sexual violence.
This project is administered at La Trobe University
The project, "Responding to Revenge Pornography", is funded by the Criminology Research Council and is the first Australian study on the online distribution of intimate/explicit digital images without consent ("revenge pornography"). The research aims to document the prevalence and impacts of adult victimisation in Australia, and systematically analyse applicable laws in three jurisdictions (Victoria, SA, NSW). It employs a mixed-method design comprising: a national survey of adult victims; stakeholder consultations (national roundtable and interviews in three jurisdictions); analysis of recorded crime-statistics; and a legislative review. This project will generate new, internationally-relevant knowledge about the nature and extent of adult revenge pornography, and will inform legal and policy reform on this issue.

Instead, says Alberta Liberal Laurie Blakeman, he will discover that "Pierre Trudeau and the NEP" has morphed over three decades into a universal shorthand, a warning to stand on guard to slap the mitts of anyone trying to poach the province's black gold birthright.
"The NEP has taken on an iconic status that it doesn't deserve," said Blakeman, a five-term Liberal in a central Edmonton riding.
"Most people in Alberta today don't even know what it was. They couldn't tell you what the three initials stood for.
"But it is representative of things that they're unhappy with — other people trying to take what they believe is theirs."
The national energy program, launched in 1980 by Pierre Trudeau when he was prime minister, was aimed at spreading Alberta's burgeoning oil wealth to the rest of the country.
Peter Lougheed, Alberta premier at the time, called it "a declaration of war" and cut oil production in retaliation.
When the program was phased out years later, Alberta figured it was out billions of dollars and blamed the policy for increased mortgage defaults and business closures during lean years.
It was considered just one grievance that turned the country west of Ontario into a Liberal wasteland in the early 1980s. Westerners suspected that big-government Trudeau initiatives were but a stalking horse to boost the fortunes of Central Canada. The Liberals won only two seats, both in Manitoba, in the 1980 election. In 1984, when the Liberals lost the election with new leader John Turner, there were, again, only two seats west of Ontario.
Anne McLellan, a rare Edmonton Liberal MP and deputy prime minister a decade ago under Paul Martin, said the younger Trudeau will be ready for the fight and, with his winning smile and elan, could capture a lot of hearts first, with minds to follow.
"He's not unaware of the fact the name Trudeau is both a liability and an asset in Western Canada. He's lived with that for 40 years," said McLellan.
Story continues below gallery..
She noted that Trudeau has "deep roots" in British Columbia, given that his mother was born there, his grandfather James Sinclair was a longtime B.C. MP and Trudeau spent five years teaching on the West Coast before entering politics.
Political scientist Doreen Barrie said that for young people the Trudeau name carries the hope of a return to honour in a profession that has become devalued by partisan personal attacks, scripted questions and vapid talking points.
"My students are so cynical and so turned off politics because of the tone of the debate," said Barrie of the University of Calgary.
She said she expects Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives will soon launch attack ads to burn into voters' minds an image of Trudeau, who has said little on major policy issues, as a pretty-boy air head not ready now — if ever — for the big chair.
And they will tie him to the national energy program.
"For the Conservatives, it will be the NEP all day, every day and they will try and exploit that."
But Barrie said the West has changed, too. It's more multicultural and much younger, more sure of itself.
"So many young people don't even remember (the NEP) unless they're reminded of it — and that's what the Conservatives are going to do."
McLellan said her personal meetings with Trudeau have shown her a man of energy and zeal who knows how to listen and organize and isn't afraid of a fight.
But to be successful, she said, he needs to ignore his press clippings.
"(Justin) needs to take advice not from what I would call the sycophants — people who will tell him what he wants to hear — that he's the saviour of the party.
"I would like to believe that people of intelligence in the Liberal Party of Canada know that there are no saviours, and that this is about hard work."
And hard work it will be. There have been outcrops of Liberal red in the West in the last 10 to 15 years, but in the 2011 election, which reduced the party to rump status, it managed only two seats in B.C. and one each in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. There are none in Alberta.
Blakeman said the old energy program is a nurtured grievance that is still passed on to children.
Story continues below slideshow..
Campaigning this spring in the provincial election, which the provincial Tories won for the 12th consecutive time, Blakeman said she didn't hear about Trudeau and the NEP at every door, but "it came up often enough that I remember it."
Some critics were born long after the NEP died, but still said they hated it.
"They said they felt that way because their dad told them."
The feeling that Alberta has to fight to protect what it has from interlopers has been political legal tender for decades.
In 1987, Edmonton-born Reform party founder Preston Manning rode the phrase "The West Wants In" all the way to Parliament Hill to ultimately transform both small-C and large-C conservative politics.
In 2001, future prime minister Harper and other conservatives penned an open "firewall letter" to then-Alberta premier Ralph Klein warning him to take steps to prevent fresh advances by Ottawa on the province's wealth.
In 2012, that same sensitivity looms over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, which would ship bitumen from Alberta's oilsands through ecologically sensitive wilderness and waterways in B.C. to tankers heading to Asian markets.
B.C Premier Christy Clark wants a larger share of the economic benefits. She has been careful not to say she wants royalties, but that hasn't stopped Alberta Premier Alison Redford from vehemently denouncing it as a resource grab.
The Northern Gateway pipeline (NGP) is likely to be a tricky topic for Trudeau should he choose to engage.
A hard line on the proposal could mean a wave of support in B.C., but could realienate an Alberta population hair-trigger sensitive to a slight by anyone named Trudeau.
Maybe the son of the so-called father of western alienation will ultimately forge his own cautionary tale.
Son, climb up on my knee. Did I ever tell you about Justin Trudeau and the NGP?
— By Dean Bennett in Edmonton

- Two girls May and Lily are raised in an orphanage like real sisters since their childhood. Grown-up May and Lily team up to help people in trouble. They are the troubleshooting duo named "Happy Birds." And the girls would do anything to solve the cases involving crimes, so among terrified criminals they are widely known as "Dirty Gemini." One day Lily's missing father shows up before her, but it is in fact part of the plot hatched by evil crime syndicate Spider. Lily is imprisoned by Spider and strange electric conductive fluid is poured all over her body. May arrives, trying to save her, but she is blinded by the attack of humanoid monster Mantis. What awaits the heroines May and Lily at the end of their battles?

Ashley Rininger scored a season-high 22 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and blocked four shots during Liberty's 67-55 triumph at Asheville on Tuesday.
Redshirt junior post player Ashley Rininger posted a season-high 22 points and 13 rebounds Tuesday evening at Kimmel Arena, leading Liberty past host UNC Asheville, 67-55.
Rininger's fourth double-double of the season helped the Lady Flames snap a three-game losing skid. Liberty is now 7-5 overall and tied for first place in the Big South Conference standings at 3-0.
Asheville suffered its first Big South setback of the season, shooting just 34.6 percent (18-of-52) from the floor while falling to 3-9 overall and 2-1 in conference play. The Bulldogs have now lost five of their last six outings.
The Lady Flames jumped out to a 6-0 lead within the first two minutes of the game, but was then held to four points over the next eight minutes. Liberty's shooting woes enabled the host Bulldogs to come back and take a 13-10 advantage on Tacey Trammell's triple from the right wing at the 11:07 mark.
The lead changed hands three times during the next 3:33, before the Lady Flames pushed their edge out to eight points at 29-21 when Jaymee Fisher-Davis nailed a three-pointer.
Liberty took a 31-25 lead into the locker room at halftime after holding Asheville to 30.8 percent (8-of-26) field goal shooting during the first 20 minutes of play.
Liberty made 39.3 percent (11-of-28) of its first-half field goal attempts and pulled down 23 rebounds to the Bulldogs' 17.
Rininger paced the Lady Flames in both points (8) and rebounds (7) prior to halftime, while Asheville's Chatori Major led all players with nine points.
Rininger scored eight of Liberty's first 13 points to start the second half, including a layup with 15:04 to play to give the red-clad Lady Flames their first double-digit lead (42-32).
Liberty's advantage got as large as 17 points when Simone Brown hit two free throws at the 1:36 mark.
The Lady Flames staved off UNC Asheville's final comeback attempt, closing out a 67-55 victory. Liberty starts out 3-0 in Big South play for the first time since 2010-11 and gained a measure of revenge for last season's 83-80 overtime setback at Kimmel Arena.
Liberty finished the game by shooting 42 percent (21-of-50) from the field and 28.6 percent (4-of-14) from three-point range, sinking three triples after halftime.
The free throw line made a big difference in Tuesday's outcome, as the Lady Flames shot over 80 percent for the fifth time in the last six games (80.8 percent on 21-of-26) while Asheville hit just 58.6 percent (17-of-29).
The Lady Flames controlled the boards by a 40-33 margin, including 13 offensive caroms.
Rininger led the way on the glass, as her 13 rebounds equaled the Buckeye State native's season high. Rininger, who is now averaging 21.0 ppg in her last three meetings with Asheville, added four blocked shots. She has turned away 10 shots in the last two games.
Rininger is now tied with Theresa Bream for fifth place on Liberty's all-time list with 23 career double-doubles. She also became the 24th Lady Flame ever to score 800 career points and finished the evening with 821 points.
Karly Buer chipped in 15 points and has reached double figures in 11 of her first 12 games as a Lady Flame.
Playing in her home state of North Carolina, Fisher-Davis hit a pair of triples and scored a season-best 10 points. She has now hit 50 career three-pointers.
Jasmine Gardner added nine rebounds off of Carey Green's bench.
Brown had one of Liberty's rare free throw misses on Tuesday, snapping her streak of 21 straight made foul shots. The sophomore fell one shy of the program record of 22 consecutive made free throws, set by Jennifer Fairfax in 1991.
Major was the only Asheville player to score in double digits, as her 11 points helped the Bulldogs tally 29 bench points to the Lady Flames' 13.
Liberty will return home for its next two games, beginning with a Saturday afternoon matchup against Big South co-leader High Point. Tipoff is slated for 4 p.m. at the Vines Center for the opener of a doubleheader with the Liberty men's basketball team. The Flames will play host to Presbyterian in the nightcap at 7 p.m.
The Lady Flames will look to snap the Panthers' three-game winning streak at the Vines Center, including a 94-89 double overtime decision last season.

Studies Show How Men Over 40 Can Easily . . .
Did you know that once a man reaches a certain age, it becomes much more difficult to lose belly fat?
It also becomes trickier for us older guys to remain healthy, lean and fit.
Most men chalk this up to "getting older" or a "slowing metabolism". But there is a real, concrete reason for this, and it's called: low testosterone.If you store fat around your belly,
you could be suffering from Low T
You can win the 'battle of the bulge'
with Andro400.
Scientifically verified (although not well-known) hundreds of studies have shown that low testosterone leads to excess fat buildup in the abdomen, which can be very difficult to shed through diet and exercise alone.1, 2, 3 But the good news is: there is a simple solution to this problem.
You see, your T levels start decreasing at about 30 years of age, and it's so gradual it's hardly even noticeable ... until one day you realize you're no longer the man you used to be.
This accounts for why it gets harder for us men to maintain our weight as the years go by. Sometimes we experience this as "flab" around the middle, and other times it feels like a hard ball in your stomach.
A 4 inch increase in waist size increases a man's odds of having Low T by 75%. For comparison, 10 years of aging increases the odds by only 36%.3-- National Institute of Health
This is where Low T can become especially harmful, encouraging the more dangerous type of fat that gets lodged deep inside your body called visceral fat -- literally coating and smothering your most vital organs and keeping them from functioning properly.3, 5,12
And even for younger men, this can be the start of a very dangerous series of events that not only makes it difficult to lose weight, but starts a man on a downward spiral toward poor health.
Men with higher T levels gain less belly fat6 and find it much easier to stay lean.
Repels Belly Fat
"Low testosterone levels could help explain the round bellies of many middle-aged men," says Dr Carolyn Allan of Prince Henry's Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia.
Dr Allen conducted a 12-month study which showed that Low T levels result in increased abdominal fat in men:6
The study treated two groups of men -- all average weight – who had low T levels. Group A received testosterone and Group B got a placebo. The study found that men who received testosterone did not gain fat around the middle, while the men who took the placebo did.6
The Australian study confirms what many other studies show: higher T levels can prevent abdominal obesity and the dangerous build-up of visceral fat.
The study also found that the amount of belly fat a man carries is a leading predictor of Low T levels.
That's because belly fat slows down and inhibits your body's testosterone production.7 It's a vicious cycle: Low T causes belly fat, and belly fat causes even lower Low T!2,7
Low T leads to the buildup of visceral fat, and both are very dangerous to your health and longevity 2, 5, 7, 8, 12
And unless testosterone is increased, men of any age who have abdominal fat, (even men in their 20's) can start down the dangerous road leading to Low T.
Low testosterone can trigger a host of life-threatening diseases5,8,12,16 including: heart disease, prostate cancer, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, dementia, Alzheimer's, etc. -- and worse of all: increased mortality from all causes.16, 17, 18, 19
Improving one's Testosterone should be part of every man's overall wellness plan. Indeed, the benefits of higher T go way beyond outward results such as losing belly fat, gaining muscle, and increasing energy, stamina and libido.Buy Now
The Low T and belly fat association is scientifically clear— the decline in testosterone levels is a direct cause of the "battle of the bulge", and closely tied with the storage of deep 'visceral' abdominal fat .1,3, 5,12
Safely restoring your Testosterone is critical to empowering your body to reduce fat and build more lean muscle tissue. This is because testosterone plays a vital role in how our body balances glucose, insulin, and fat metabolism.
Scientific studies show there are three specific ways testosterone reduces and prevents the buildup of abdominal fat:
1. Testosterone inhibits fat storage by blocking a key enzyme necessary for the uptake of fat into the body's fat cells.9
2. Testosterone stimulates fat burning by increasing the receptors on the fat-cell membrane that release stored fat.9
3. Testosterone increases insulin sensitivity (reducing diabetes risk) and improves lipid and insulin metabolism, while enhancing the growth of muscle fibers and decreasing fat deposits. 9
Studies show Increasing your testosterone to youthful levels can help your body burn fat and regain muscle.4,6,9,12
According to a study at Massachusetts General Hospital published in the New England Journal of Medicine, 10 Low T is not only directly related to increased belly fat, it causes muscle and strength loss.5, 10, 12
Low T = More Fat
Less Muscle
High T = More muscle
less fat
Because Andro400 goes to work restoring your body's primary male hormone, it not only attacks fats cells causing them to gradually melt away and disappear, it also helps your body ignite and re-grow muscle fibers adding lean body mass. 5,11
In addition, boosting your testosterone with Andro400 "fires up your engines" to increase your metabolism and burn more fat – even while you're sleeping!9,11,20Andro400 Is Both a Powerful and SAFE Tool for You
Study after study has shown the natural herbal ingredient in Andro400 will safely restore your Testosterone levels without any negative side effects.11, 13
In fact, the herb in Andro400 has been used for over 400 years in Asia for it's many health benefits and as an aphrodisiac to enhance sex drive and performance in both men and women! Not only does this herb have an extremely long history of safety, there's a mountain of research proving it's effectiveness!11, 13, 14, 15You'll Feel "Like a New Man"
When You Restore Your Testosterone
The natural testosterone boost you get every day from Andro400 can end the "Low T -- belly fat cycle" once and for all!
Not only that, every day, Andro400 can help your body combat the life-threatening dangers of low testosterone and reverse years of damage caused by Low T.11,12

I am soon to be 77 years old and still work in my business six days a week. I get exercise from my business but have not done anything out of the ordinary as far as exercise is concerned."
-- Dick Hoyne, Wauconda, IL
Lost 50 lbs. & 8 in. Off Waistline!
I was a size 38 waist and I was so unhappy. I hated it – it was not me! Now with Andro400, I've lost 50 lbs., and went from a size 38 waist to an unbelievable 30! I am 56 years old, and feel like I am 25 again! My wife and daughter were in disbelief when I put on my tux I wore when I got married 30 years ago! Exercise used to be a chore -- now I have the energy to jog, exercise and play sports. I'm so happy now!
-- David Ryan, Milford, Ontario, Canada
Visceral Fat Is Gone – Now Has an 8-Pack!
I've reached my goal . . . I have a flat stomach! Andro400 has been so good to me, I can almost do a commercial. I have an 8-pack, I don't have a 6-pack. I really love the product. It's been great to me. I didn't get it for weight loss, but it's the visceral fat in my stomach I could never get rid of. And now, the visceral fat is gone!
--Spencer Stevens, Oakland, CA
Deputy Sheriff lost 51 lbs., same pant size as in high school!
"I'm a deputy sheriff, and I've been in law enforcement for 25 years. I've used a lot of products trying to stay in shape, and the only one I've had great results with has been Andro400. I started taking it about 3 months ago, and within two weeks, I found that I was losing weight in places it was hard to get it off like the stomach area. Since then I have lost 51 pounds -- down to 179 from 230. I've gone from a snug 36 inch pant size to 32 inches-- which is what I wore high school! All my friends and coworkers ask what I'm doing to lose the weight and I tell them Andro400. It's the best product I've ever used in 25 years in law enforcement to stay in shape!"
-- Tim Forehand, Geneva, AL
Lost 74 lbs. in 4 Months, No Longer Needs Meds

My wife, my friends, even my doctor has commented on how great I look. I haven't changed my diet, I haven't changed anything – I just started taking Andro400."
-- Jeff Paulin, Black Canyon, AZ
Lost 6 in of Belly Fat; "Its a Life Changer for Me"
I'm a truck driver and spend about 13 hours a night in my truck. Out of boredom, all I did is eat fast food. That was before Andro400 – ever since then my life has changed. I started out weighing 341 pounds – since then I've lost 84 pounds! There's no cravings – I actually don't think about food anymore. One thing Andro400 said on the radio ad is it attacks belly fat – well let me tell you it did – I've lost 6 inches! I'm sleeping better. My knee pain went away. I had back issues and that went away, and I can only attribute that to Andro400. I'm so proud of my look now. This product is a life changer for me!

"I've lost 30 pounds since I started taking it. I'm 62 so I was getting a paunch around my stomach and it was just getting tough - - no matter what I did, it didn't seem like I was winning the battle. I had gone on a bit of a diet, and took off a couple pounds . Then with Andro400, I've already had to buy 2 new sets of clothes !"
-- Michael Breault, Norfolk, VA
Losing Belly, Finally Able to Break 180 lbs.

I'm 59 and no matter what I just couldn't get rid of the belly. Now I'm bringing my belt down a couple of notches! I couldn't break 180 lbs. for nothing . . . now it's 175 lbs. and going from there."

Lost 2 inches off Waist, 13 lbs. Without Dieting!
"I'm a retired firefighter going on 65 and noticed I was getting soft and bigger in the belly even though I do regular exercise (jogging 3-4 miles 4 to 5 times a week). Since using Andro400, I've lost 2 inches off my waist and 13 pounds. I did not diet, ate what I normally do (here in Vegas, lots of buffets)."
-- John Susko, Las Vegas, NV

Randy Weston interview at the Nice Jazz Festival 2018.
Randolph Edward "Randy" Weston (April 6, 1926 – September 1, 2018) was an American jazz pianist and composer whose creativity was inspired by his ancestral African connection.
Weston's piano style owed much to Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, whom he cited as among pianists he counted as influences, as well as Count Basie, Nat King Cole and Earl Hines. Beginning in the 1950s, Weston worked often with trombonist and arranger Melba Liston.
Described as "America's African Musical Ambassador", he said: "What I do I do because it's about teaching and informing everyone about our most natural cultural phenomenon. It's really about Africa and her music."
In this interview he outlines the importance of playing a music that is accessible for everyone, and about the importance of serving the community as an artist.
Randy Weston passed away at his home in Brooklyn on the morning of September 1, 2018 a few weeks after this interview.

1964 Ford Fairlane
A classic FoMoCo performance look and a bargain price make this 1964 Ford Fairlane hardtop a great opportunity. It's a small block 289 car, and with a bucket seat interior, it's a bit sportier than your average '60s cruiser. And at this price, you really have nothing to lose.If you're going racing in a '60s Ford, you need to paint it Wimbledon White like this Fairlane. It's the quintessential Ford color and while this car isn't trying to be another Thunderbolt clone, it's hard to miss the association when you see it in person. We're guessing the paint is either original or a very old repaint, and it's showing its age with a series of touch-ups that give it a reasonable overall look that is part of the affordable price tag. It doesn't look to have ever been rusty or banged up, and the doors fit well, as do the hood and trunk, suggesting that perhaps it has never been fully disassembled. You could buy it today to enjoy and perhaps paint it someday in the future, but we're guessing that you'll be having too much fun to worry too much. You'll note that the side trim has inserts that match the interior, and Ford's jet-inspired taillights always look great. We also like the trim at the base of the roof and the neat Fairlane script that makes it easy to identify.The tan interior is a nice change from red or black, and buckets in a Fairlane are rather rare. Like the bodywork, it's a combination of original and replacement stuff, but it looks decent overall. The biggest demerit might be the hole in the driver's seat, but it's on the side where it's not terribly visible and if you need it fixed, seat covers are relatively inexpensive. There's some performance hardware, too, including a tach strapped on top of the dash and a slick Hurst shifter on a nice mini console in the middle. Factory gauges have white faces, so they have a somewhat modern look in their cool individual binnacles, and there's an AM/FM/cassette stereo to replace the original AM unit. And as a full-sized car, there's a big back seat with plenty of room for friends and family and it's in quite good shape overall. You also get a truly massive trunk that's equipped with an original-style mat for a stock look.Any Ford with a 289 is going to be fun to drive, and this Fairlane qualifies. The neatly dressed small block wears a big Holley 4-barrel up top, an Edelbrock intake manifold, some chrome valve covers, and Ford Blue paint on the block itself, so fans of '60s performance should see things that are familiar. It starts easily and runs well, and it's nice to see authentic details like the generator making electricity. The transmission is a 3-speed automatic feeding a 9-inch rear end (this is a full-sized Ford, after all), and the exhaust uses glasspack-style mufflers to give it that authentic '60s soundtrack. The suspension remains largely stock, so it has that comfortable big car ride and a set of Torque Thrust-style wheels with blackwall radials give it the perfect period performance look.This is not a show car or a trailer queen, you've gathered that. But it's got a cool old-school look and V8 power is always welcome. Call now!

First Evening in Alaska
Fairbanks, Alaska
March 30, 2019
Photo of the Day:
This week, I'm in Fairbanks, AK for PolarTREC orientation. I'll be getting to meet teachers from around the country, who like me, will be traveling to a polar region (Arctic or Antarctic) to work with field researchers. I'm very excited to meet these teachers and the program coordinators and staff of PolarTREC and ARCUS (Arctic Research Consortium of the United States).
This entry is about my first evening in Fairbanks, which I spent on a walk in the woods near our hotel. When I started at 7 PM, it was still very light outside. Most of the ground was covered with ice, and I had to be careful – at one point, I accidentally post-holed and sank into water below the ice up to my knees.
The wildlife here is completely new to me. Early in my hike, I was greeted by a small hare, completely white and almost indistinguishable from the snowy backdrop of the Alaskan woods. I later showed my photo to Katie Gavenus, a fellow PolarTREC teacher from southern Alaska, and she readily identified this species as a snowshoe hare. This hare's range in restricted to the northern US and Canada, a true specialist of the Alaskan woods. Its name "snowshoe" comes from its large hind feet, which are helpful in preventing it from sinking down into the snow.1 I learned that it in order to blend in with its surroundings, this hare is white in the winter and a reddish brown in the summer.2 Only 5 minutes into my first hike in Alaska, I had already uncovered my first example of evolutionary adaptation to life in the North.
Deeper into the woods, I found many birds feeding in the conifers. I identified the boreal chickadee, common redpoll, and white-winged crossbill, all new birds to me. The crossed bill of the crossbill is another beautiful evolutionary adaptation. This bird feeds on seeds from cones of conifer trees, and its bill shape allows it to bite between cone scales and pry them apart by opening its mouth.3
What a great first evening in Alaska.
Arctic Fact of the Day:
I had a great discussion in the van with PolarTREC Project Manager Janet Warburton about frost heaving. Water is unique in that its solid form (ice) takes up more volume than its liquid form. Accordingly, when soil freezes, the result is expansion, or upward swelling. Freeze-thaw cycles can seriously damage roads built on affected soils, and certain stretches of the roads we drove today were very buckled and warped. I'm pretty sure the folks at the back of the van were thrown against the ceiling on multiple occasions (glad I called "shotgun"). According to Janet Warburton, who has spent over half of her life in Alaska, you can use vegetation patterns to predict locations of frost heaving along a road. Paper birch trees prefer soils that are well-drained, so roads traversing stands of birch as less likely to be affected by frost heaving. Black spruce trees, on the other hand, thrive in more hydrated soils, more subject to frost heaving. Sure enough, I quickly learned to hold on for dear life when a stand of black spruce appeared on the horizon.
Arctic Question of the Day:
There is another redpoll species in Fairbanks that looks very similar to the common redpoll I saw earlier today. What is its name, and how do you tell the two Alaskan redpoll species apart?
