, it is a perfect opportunity to advertise any type of business and send it through the roof. It is also a platform where you can buy instagram followers.
This medium has a lot of advantages that will be useful in the business world.
Digital marketing, the one that influences the success of business, goes hand in hand with the good use of Instagram. The important focus that photography plays on the platform is an excellent method to attract a more visual and trusting public.
These are the tips to take into account at the time of its implementation in the business:
Any use of social network in order to grow a business must have a strategy, but not all can have the same. For example, a business uses Twitter and Instagram as main networks; both have to establish their own strategies to get the most out of each platform. You can also opt for services that teach you how to get real instagram followers.
Knowing what the objectives are, the characteristics of the audience or specific community and the type of product that is advertised are essential aspects that must be defined before the creation of a strategy.
It should be noted that the strategies are not done overnight, much less cause the effects so quickly; all good planning takes time to be carried out. But there is nothing to worry about, you can always get followers and likes from to boost your account promotions.
The profiles are very important to publicize a business, organization and even personal brand. If the content is good and attractive, users will not hesitate to see who is behind those very interesting publications that are made periodically.
The only essential thing in the Instagram profile is to place the corporate website in the URL field, in this way many more people will have access to the database. The rest may vary depending on the style of the company; the important thing is that it generates interest in whoever reads. There is lot more to do in instagaram marketing such as you can buy instagram likes, followers and so on.
They are vital. Why? Well, the hashtags will be the ones that will allow people to discover the business publications and interact with them. Never a few labels had been so profitable.
It should be noted that the excessive use of labels is not recommended at all. Too many hashtags can annoy the user because the publication loses its essence and it takes the appearance of spamming. In the same way, you should also be careful in choosing and always look for labels related to the subject.

HONG KONG, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- IPO proceeds of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region are expected to reach up to 150 billion HK dollars (about 19.3 billion U.S. dollars) in 2017, with listings from technology, media, and telecom (TMT) sectors on the rise, KPMG said here Monday.
There were a total of 106 IPOs in Hong Kong in the first three quarters of 2017, an increase of 56 percent from the 68 deals recorded over the same period in 2016, while total proceeds were 85 billion HK dollars, 37 percent lower than the year-on-year total, according to a report released by KPMG.
Hong Kong IPO activity is expected to accelerate in the fourth quarter, with about 80 companies looking to list here, KPMG said.
Maggie Lee, head of Capital Markets Development Group of KPMG said the infrastructure and construction sectors dominated the IPO market in terms of the year-to-date number of listings, while the financial services industry continued to be a major contributor in terms of funds raised.
However, Hong Kong is expected to play a greater role in attracting technology companies to list, as both the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong are taking a number of initiatives to promote development in this area, Lee said.
More than 10 TMT companies, including online-retailers, web-based game developers and IT solutions providers, are preparing to list in Hong Kong in the fourth quarter of 2017, according to KPMG's report.
In comparison, only three TMT companies listed between January and September, the report said.? (1 U.S. dollar equals to 7.81 Hong Kong dollar)

Tartar is also known as calculus. Dental plaque, when left on the teeth for too long, calcifies and forms tartar. Dental plaque is a colorless biofilm consisting of bacteria and saliva.
Dental plaque covers our teeth all the time. From the moment we rinse our mouth after brushing until we brush next time, dental plaque keeps accumulating on our teeth. If not removed, plaque calcifies and forms Tartar.
Tartar is the root cause of most gum problems. It leads to bleeding and swollen gums, receding gums, loose teeth in the socket and ultimately tooth loss. Plaque can be removed easily by brushing, but tartar needs professional cleaning by a dentist.
Calculus can be either subgingival or supragingival in position. Supragingival calculus is relatively harmless and causes gingivitis, which is curable. Whereas, subgingival calculus leads to periodontitis, which is irreversible gum damage.
Let's understand in detail what is tartar, how it looks like, how does it form and how to get rid of it.
What is tartar?
Tartar is mineral debris which accumulates on teeth and it is easy to spot them. The most common appearance of calculus is a yellow or brown deposit between the lower front teeth or at the gum line.
Plaque, which is left around the gum line, calcifies and forms tartar. Everyone develops plaque because bacteria are constantly growing in our mouths. Tartar can cause inflammation and irritation to the gums around teeth which is also called gingivitis. (1)
Calculus not only threatens the health of your teeth and gums, but it is also a cosmetic problem. Calculus is porous and can absorb stains easily.
It causes yellow ugly looking teeth. So, if you consume a lot of coffee or tea, or if you smoke, it is essential to quit such habits or reduce it.
Calculus can be classified based on its location on the tooth as –
Subgingival calculus
This type of calculus is present below the gums. It is very damaging to the gums and difficult to remove. It can also cause loss of attachment between gums and teeth and as a result, teeth become loose and fall off from their sockets.
Subgingival calculus is the beginning of an irreversible gum problem known as periodontitis.
Supragingival calculus
Supragingival calculus is present above the gum line. It is relatively harmless when compared to subgingival calculus. But if supragingival calculus is left too long, it extends below the gums.
We can easily spot supragingival tartar as it appears as yellow stains on the tooth.
Signs and symptoms
Initially, the plaque is colorless, but once it calcifies, it forms tartar which is easily visible. Some signs that you may exhibit if you already have tartar or developing this problem –
- Red swollen gums
- Gums easily bleed when touched
- Bad breath
- Yellow and brown stains on the base of the teeth
- Hardshell like yellow deposits all over the teeth
How does tartar form?
Plaque is constantly present over the teeth. Plaque, when left for too long, interacts with the calcium present in our saliva. Calcium settles over the plaque along with other salts in saliva like magnesium and sodium.
These salts eventually harden and form calculus or tartar. The structure of calculus is porous because of which, it absorbs yellow stains easily. As soon as we drink beverages like tea or coffee, a yellow color is imparted to the tartar.
Calculus progresses below the gum line, causing the tooth to detach from the gums and ultimately results in teeth fall off. (2)
Scaling and Root planning – The only way to get rid of calculus
Once tartar forms, the only way to remove it is by professional cleaning. The technique of tartar removal is known as Scaling and root planning.
Tooth area-specific instruments known as scalers and curettes are used to remove tartar. A dentist or a dental hygienist can only do this treatment. You can expect mild to moderate amount of gum bleeding during this process.
A follow-up appointment after two weeks of scaling is mandatory to see the improvement in our gum condition. Scaling is a very inexpensive and easy method of cleaning our teeth and gums. It can be repeated in every three months to maintain good oral hygiene.
Home care post scaling
Post scaling, you should continue with the following home care regimen.
- Brush teeth twice a day and every time after consuming sticky and sweet food.
- Use an electric toothbrush if you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.
- Floss between teeth daily
- Use an antiseptic mouthwash
Preventing calculus accumulation
Treatment of calculus is restricted to scaling, but if we avoid the buildup of plaque, we can keep calculus away too. The following procedures can be done to prevent tartar accumulation.
Treatment of rotated and crooked teeth
It is difficult to clean in between rotated teeth or crooked and misshapen teeth because there is lack of space. Therefore, the gums around such teeth are more prone to plaque accumulation and tartar formation.
Orthodontic treatment or extraction of such crooked teeth is necessary to protect the gums. Once the teeth alignment is corrected, scaling should be done. Good oral hygiene maintenance is important after that. (3)
You should brush twice daily, floss and use an antibacterial mouthwash. You can use an orthodontic or electric toothbrush while undergoing treatment.
Fixing a loose prosthesis
When we have a prosthesis or artificial crowns in our mouth, it acts as a hub for an accumulation of plaque and calculus. Over that, if the prosthesis doesn't fit as snugly as the natural tooth on the gums, there may be tartar formation around it.
The gap between the prosthesis and gums is a hub for bacteria and tartar formation around it is a common sight. We should visit our dentist if we have a loose crown or a gap between our artificial and natural teeth.
Over to you
Tartar is a very stubborn kind of debris which is tough to get rid of. Calculus is not only bad for overall gum health, but it also makes our teeth look yellow and unattractive. It causes bad breath too.
This annoying problem can only be prevented by following good oral hygiene such as brushing and flossing twice daily. Calculus cleaning or scaling is a cheap and fast way to get rid of tartar for a long time.
Follow proper gum care by using antibacterial mouthwash and visit your dentist once in three months. You will never have to worry about calculus again.

If you are anywhere near Southport you just really have to check this out! The Waterfront Arts Project is an unbelievable collection of local talent. For those who are fed up with seaside galleries where all that is on display are watercolour paintings of the local scenery this will come as a welcome surprise. This is art of the calibre of the TATE or Walker and if you love art you won't want to miss this. And they're a generous lot too. You'll most likely be treated to free nibbles and drinks if you come to the opening (you might want to make a donation but they seem so embarrassed to ask for anything that you'll probably have to hunt around to find the donations box on the floor somewhere). Apart from the amazing realistic surrealism of John Zehentner you can expect some wonderfully dark art from the superb talents of Joan Walmsley, colourful abstract works and thought-provoking political art and satire from other members of the group. There may be a theme but the art will be vast and varied. If you are anywhere near Southport on March 5th why not pop down at 2pm and join in the fun. You'll find the gallery on the Piazza promenade between the Ramada hotel and the Genting Club casino (PR9 0DZ for the satnav and you can park on Ocean Plaza just over the bridge). If you can't make it for 5th March it'll be running until 7th May.
If you want to know more about the Southport Arts Project or you are a local artist who would like to join them you can visit their Facebook page here.
Okay, sounds bad, but actually it'll most certainly be brilliant as that is the title of the new exhibition at the Waterfront Arts Project in Southport that opens tomorrow Sunday 11 September 2016.
You'll find it between the Ramada Hotel and the Casino that are both across the road from the beginning of the pier. It opens at 2pm and there is usually a lovely buffet of snacks and drinks. The exhibition and the food and drink are all free so you might want to show your appreciation by making a generous donation since that's all the income these guys and gals get for their very hard work creating one of the most brilliant contemporary art shows you'll find anywhere.
So; if you are anywhere near Southport get along to "The Painful Untruth" and if you can't make it tomorrow it will be on for a few months afterwards so plenty of time to catch up with it even if you miss out on the free food and drink tomorrow.
The Waterfront Arts Project have announced their next art exhibition at their permanent gallery in Southport. The gallery has attracted over 40,000 visitors since it started and is home to a wonderfful diversity of artistic talent. If you are fed up with seaside art galleries where all you get is a staggering volume of varying degrees of talent of renditions of the local scenery in watercolour or oils then this will come as a welcome surprise. The talent of artists like John Zehentner and Joan Walmsley to mention but two of the great artists here easily rivals the talent in the most prestigious galleries in the main cities.
The new exhibition is entitled 'The Painful Untruth' and promises to be yet another challenging and thought-provoking collection of work. It starts on 11th September 2016 so if you are anywhere near southport why not pop down at 2pm and join in the fun. You'll find the gallery on the Piazza promenade between the Ramada hotel and the Genting Club casino (PR9 0DZ for the satnav and you can park on Ocean Plaza just over the bridge).
If you are planning on being close to Southport in Merseyside, UK, say, something like within a thousand miles then make sure you pop in to see the latest show by the Southport art group The Waterfront Arts Project. The original of this amazing piece of art by John Zehentner shown above is more impressive than any little jpeg image can do justice to as is a great deal of the other art on show from other great artists like Joan Walmsley with her large 3D works using fabrics or metalworker Rob Art with his incredible dragon that so impressed the group they had to give it a room on its own! The WAP has been running for many years showcasing a diverse range of local talent that is on a par with much of what you'd find elsewhere in major galleries. This is not a gallery of hobbiest watercolour doodles, this is cutting edge stuff in a variety of postmodern styles ranging from highly emotionally charged humanistic work to overt political statements regarding our modern world and the rife inequalities that still exist in our supposedly civilised environment. Much of the work is challenging and often far deeper than the first deceptive appearances of something ordinary. You might not like everything but I doubt you will find it boring. And those you don't like have probably touched a nerve and later on you might find yourself thinking back to those art pieces and learning something about yourself and the world you live in. This is a non-profit group and nothing is sold at the exhibitions. The exhibition relies on the support of local businesspeople and councillors and has grown in popularity purely by word of mouth. Once you've been you'll probably be enthusing to all your friends about this sparkling gem of an art exhibition in the north-west of England. If you want to know more you can visit their Facebook page here.
Remember the old days when national elections were fun? That fabulous time when apart from Lord Such and his wonderful Monster Raving Looney Party there was some bloke who changed his name by deed poll to Margaret Thatcher and stood as a candidate. Not only that there were fabulous alternatives like "The Best Party I've Ever Been To Party" but unfortunately not available in the real elections were the candidates of Monty Python's Election Special where The Silly Party win by a landslide and the slightly silly candidate Kenneth Philip Bong polls no votes at all but optimistically bursts into song with "Climb Every Mountain …"
Well, in the spirit of the old days as we approach the rather sombre 2015 boring old farts election here is John Zehentner's amazing contemporary painting appropriately entitled "Don't Blame Me I Voted Looney".
More of John Zenentner's work can be seen at the Southport Arts Project in Southport along with many other local talented artists. Entrance is free so well worth a visit if you are there one weekend. Here is where it is: Southport Arts Project, Promenade, Southport, Merseyside, PR9 0DZ

Janet Davison Rowley, the Blum-Riese Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine, Molecular Genetics & Cell Biology and Human Genetics, is one of three physician-scientists who will receive the Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research for 2013.
The prize, one of the largest for medicine and science discoveries in the United States, honors those "whose landmark research helped transform the treatment of cancer," according to a release from the Albany Medical Center. The prize will be awarded May 17 in Albany, N.Y.
Rowley will share the prize with Peter C. Nowell, Harnwell Professor Emeritus at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania; and Brian J. Druker, director of the Knight Cancer Institute and associate dean for oncology at Oregon Health & Science University. The three recipients will divide the $500,000 award.
They were chosen for the groundbreaking research that led to the development of a new generation of highly focused cancer drugs, beginning with imatinib (Gleevec) for chronic leukemia.
"These individuals exemplify the extraordinary impact that painstaking research can have on the lives of countless individuals," said James J. Barba, president and chief executive officer of Albany Medical Center and chairman of the National Selection Committee. "These visionary scientists have advanced our understanding of cancer, vastly improved our ability to treat this devastating disease and given hope to so many around the world."
Most conventional treatments for cancer have been based on the ability to kill rapidly dividing cells. A series of discoveries by the prize winners led to a more precisely targeted medication, designed to interfere with the specific proteins that cause rapid multiplication of the cells seen in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), but without damaging healthy cells.
The four-decade sequence of breakthroughs that led to imatinib began in the 1960s when two Philadelphia researchers, Nowell and David Hungerford, found that patients with CML had an abnormally small chromosome 22 in their tumor cells. They called this the "Philadelphia chromosome."
In 1973, using newly developed methods for visualizing distinct segments of chromosomes, Rowley showed that chromosomes from CML cells did not lose genetic material. Instead, one end of chromosome 22 had been exchanged for a piece of chromosome 9. Because of this transfer from one chromosome to another, important genes that regulate cell growth and division were no longer located in their normal position, a phenomenon she labeled a translocation. The result was the uncontrolled cell growth of cancer. Rowley has described similar exchanges in several types of leukemia.
"Janet Rowley is a visionary," said her colleague, Michelle LeBeau, professor of medicine and director of the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center. "Her pioneering work led to the recognition that cancer is caused by genetic changes that confer new properties to cells, such as uncontrolled growth, and forms the basis for the development of today's most promising targeted therapies."
Scientists used Rowley's 9;22 translocation discovery as a roadmap to narrow the search for specific genes that were disrupted by this process. In the 1990s, Druker and colleague Nicholas Lydon began a collaboration that produced a drug, initially known as STI-571, later named imatinib. They showed that it exerted powerful effects against CML cells.
During the clinical trials, nearly all CML patients saw their white blood counts return to normal in a matter of weeks with little or no side effects. The trials were so successful that they resulted in the fastest approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. agency's history.
Since the FDA approved Gleevec in 2001 to treat CML, it has proved effective against other forms of cancer, including pediatric CML and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Gleevec's success has led to the development of dozens of other FDA-approved targeted therapies. More are in clinical trials.
The Albany Medical Center Prize was established in 2000 to honor scientists whose work has demonstrated medical value of national or international importance. A $50 million gift commitment from the Marty and Dorothy Silverman Foundation provides for the prize to be awarded annually for 100 years. Five Albany Prize recipients have gone on to win the Nobel Prize.

An evaluation of the most prevalent budgeting practice in the South African business community
Sabela, Sibusiso Wellington
This study is based on a combination of existing theoretical knowledge and recently conducted empirical research. The analysis of knowledge that has come from the academic world has resulted in an extensive review of budgeting. The review starts at the inception of budgets in the nineteenth century, where it was just a tool to manage cost and cash flows. The study follows the trajectory of the evolution of budgeting from Traditional Budgeting practices that lasted for decades to, what is known today as, Better Budgeting. The evolution of budgeting has been driven by the desire of organisations to mitigate business challenges which result from the economic volatilities of the day as well as to remain competitive. This desire to mitigate business challenges remains relevant today and demands that organisations be equipped with best practice management tools, systems and business processes. In order to manage organisations effectively and efficiently, Management Accounting as a discipline is in a state of constant development. Over the years, a number of new innovations have been introduced in the field of Management Accounting. These include (but are not limited to) concepts such as Activity Based Costing (ABC), Activity Based Management (ABM), Activity Based Budgeting (ABB), Target Costing, Strategic Cost Management and Economic Value Added (Budgeting)(EVA™), Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB), Rolling Budgets and Forecasting (RBF), Balanced-Score Card (BSC) and Beyond Budgeting. These innovations aim to provide business managers with practical value adding solutions for a better understanding of the organisation's product or service costing and planning strategies. The focus of this study is on innovations relating to the planning strategies of the organisation. Innovations that relate to planning include: Activity Based Budgeting, Zero Based Budgeting and Rolling Budgeting and Forecasting. The budget evolution is not short of academic value; researchers have conducted empirical surveys and have provided a theoretical perspective on the subject matter with fruitful findings. There appears to be a consensus regarding a total overhaul of Traditional Budgeting with the clear intention to move towards Better Budgeting. In the midst of this continued research work, there has been an emergence of a radical view about budgeting. This radical view concerns pursuing an agenda that suggests that organisations must stop preparing budgets. The gist of this radical development can be summed up as the limitations presented by budgeting in organisations. This recent concept has been coined as Beyond Budgeting. To remain globally competitive, South African organisations must keep abreast with the latest developments in management practices. This study therefore provides a good platform for South African organisations to obtain knowledge in what other countries are already doing around the subject of budgeting. The study has a two-pronged problem statement. Firstly, do organisations still budget? Secondly, what do organisations feel is the future for budgeting? Are they keeping with Traditional Budgeting, moving towards Better Budgeting or rather going further and looking Beyond Budgeting? The South African business community is no exception to this global budget debate about Traditional Budgeting, Better Budgeting and Beyond Budgeting. To gather evidence, the study made use of an online survey questionnaire that is attached as Appendix 2. An email invite containing an Internet hyperlink was sent to respondents. Respondents were expected to click on the hyperlink to gain access the pre-designed online survey questionnaire. Upon the analysis of the results, it was concluded that the South African business community still relies on budgeting, with 90% of the respondents saying that budgeting is indispensable, as their organisations will not manage without budgeting. Furthermore, there was a clear-cut move from Traditional Budgeting towards Better Budgeting. The study also concluded that the move towards Better Budgeting is supported by the inability of Traditional Budgeting to keep up with the rapid changes in macro and micro-economic factors. Also interesting to note is the revelation that 0% of the respondents indicated that they had adopted and implemented Beyond Budgeting. This resistance by the South African business community to the adoption of Beyond Budgeting and the resulting slower pace of this new practice's implementation is actually similar to the pace at which global organisations have received this radical budgeting practice.

text: 6 Yogis Then + Now: Where Were They 40 Years Ago?As we look back on 40 years of YJ, we asked six renowned yoga teachers to join us and reminisce about how far they've come in the last four decades, too.Author:Jennifer D'Angelo FriedmanUpdated:Apr 5, 2017Original:Jul 2, 2015As we reminisce about the last 40 years of YJ, we asked six renowned yoga teachers, each of whom has left their own unique and indelible marks on the practice, to join us. Here, a look at how far they have come in the last four decades, too.David LifeNOW: Co-Founder of Jivamukti YogaTHEN: Artist living in his car Forty years ago, David Life was not David Life. With a different last name (Kirkpatrick), he lived in an old car with three dogs and his (former) wife. He was an artist looking for a home. There were many adventures—artistic and spiritual, all of which eventually led to New York City and Life Café in 1979. Life got a new name when people named him after his café, and in 1982, he met Sharon Gannon and yoga. The Life Café was a pivotal meeting place for poets, artists, dancers, and musicians on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Rent, the Broadway play, was written on a table in Life Café and told the story of young artists looking for themselves and for meaning and purpose in life. Life and and Gannon co-founded Jivamukti Yoga 30 years ago in NYC, and it has provided many lives in N.Y. and the world with meaning and purpose.Also seeDavid Life's Playlist1 / 6

Question and Answers
Testing accordian
While at camp the girls did Camp Craft & outdoor cooking badges. They did crate stacking, zip wire, made octopuses as part of their craft badge, tie dyed tee shirts and went to an outdoor pursuits centre for kayaking. The group took the boat out to Brownsea Island which is where the first scout camp was held by Lord Baden Powell.
During their stay they cooked their own lunch in individual tins, attended the site camp fire & led a few of the songs and had their own camp fire every evening. One of the girls made her guide promise and one of the leaders renewed hers as an adult leader. A great experience for all concerned.
£3360 raised by the club was used to buy monitors to help people with poor eyesight read books, newspapers etc
Thank you letter for another charitable donation from the club....
"Our Union Street Scout and Guide Hut is home to the 2nd Woodstock Guides, 1st Woodstock Brownies and 2nd Woodstock Brownies, a newly formed Rainbows Group and the Army Cadets. The hut is used regularly by around 80 children a week for a variety of activities including first aid, crafts, drama and fun and games. The hut is over 30 years old and until Easter this year still had the original floor. It was looking very tired and was limiting the activities the children could do. With Rotary and other organisations help, in April 2016 we were able to replace the floor, creating a much safer welcoming environment. Hopefully able to withstand the next 30 years of wear!"
Bill and Rotary Chums take a break from fundraising
"Bill & Kath, Peter & Gay and Bob & Freda headed off for a late May 4-day break at Warners Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel in North Wales. Great fun had by all exploring the area; everyone agreed Bodnant Gardens (National Trust) are the most stunning gardens they'd ever seen. Other delights included top of Snowden by train for Puffing Billy; an amazing mural by artist Rex Whistler at NT's Plas Newydd House on Anglesey and Conwy Castle. Great fun time had by all. Roll on the next trip."

£400 Donated to the North Oxfordshire Food Bank
On Friday 18th December President Tony McHugh presented a £400.00 cheque to Melvina Fawcett of the North Oxfordshire Food Bank. North Oxfordshire Food Bank serves Kidlington, Woodstock, Charlbury & Chipping Norton. The charity relies on donations of food (tinned or 'long life') from people and organizations in the community. The charity then creates and delivers food parcels to people in crisis in exchange for vouchers issued by Social Services or a registered Voluntary Agency. It operates on Wednesdays at Woodstock's Baptist Church and every Friday from Kidlington's Baptist Church. Charlbury & Chipping Norton are covered on other days.

Our Town Safe space on Sutton Place by Douglas Feiden
Kallos tapped his discretionary funds to buy five security cameras for the northern blocks — each with a live 24/7 feed to the 17th Precinct — and Powers dipped into his Council funds to purchase two more for the culs-de-sac as far south as Beekman Place and 50th Street.
They don't come cheap: Each camera will cost $35,000 for an overall tab of $245,000. It wasn't immediately clear when they will be installed.
"Soon, the 17th Precinct will have eyes on the park — and it will be able to respond instantaneously and even proactively," Kallos said in an Aug. 3 press conference at the river-facing dead end on East 54th Street.

| 7.3°C Belfast
Leicester attack coach Paul Burke took the positives from his team's ability to continue grinding out results, despite having "not really got going this season", following Sunday afternoon's 21-9 victory over battling Exeter at Sandy Park.
The triumph lifted the Tigers, who won by just three points at this venue in March, into the top three in the Aviva Premiership, although there were worries for England boss Stuart Lancaster ahead of the Autumn Test Series with hooker Tom Youngs and lock Geoff Parling coming off injured.
Other England stars Ben Youngs, at scrum-half, and his half-back partner Toby Flood, had armchair rides as their pack hammered the home eight in the scrums. Number nine Youngs grabbed a first-half try, with centre Niki Guneva getting another moments before the break.
Flood added three penalties and a conversion against three second-half penalties from home stand-off Gareth Steenson.
But it was the outstanding Tigers pack, with England prop Dan Cole and lock Louis Deacon playing vital roles, that was the key to the Leicester win.
Burke, who is in charge on matchdays while director of rugby Richard Cockerill serves his nine-game ban for unprofessional behaviour at last season's Premiership Final, was pleased with his players' display - particularly in the firsthalf - and felt there were numerous positives to take ahead of next Saturday's clash with closest rivals Northampton at Welford Road.
Burke said: "It was an outstanding effort from our players because Exeter really came at us in the second half. They threw everything at us and not to concede a try today at Sandy Park was good.
"We felt that if we tied Exeter up at the start, got momentum and quietened the crowd down, we would get a foothold in the game. You play in the right areas, get field position, keep hold of the ball and recycle, you will get your rewards.
"I was disappointed that we allowed them to get back into the game in the second half.
"The scrum was a real force today and we got a lot of rewards out of it."
Leicester will head into next weekend's game against Northampton at Welford Road level on points with second-placed Saints - the pair four points behind leaders Saracens.
"We have some big games coming up with Saints next week and then two Europeans," Burke said.
"We haven't really got going this season but there are positive signs in that we are grinding out wins and not putting in real performances."
The two injuries to concern Lancaster should be "fine", according to Burke. "Geoff got a bang his hip but he will be ok. Tom was fine and just got a bang in his chest region."
Attention now turns to Northampton, who are riding high and have British and Irish Lions wing George North firing well.
"It is a completely different ball game next week with Saints," Burke said. "They are playing very well and are playing with a lot of momentum and flair. There is no bigger game for us and to be tied at second in the table adds an extra bit of spice to the game.
"We know Northampton's threats. We have watched them play in the last couple of weeks and George North is key to them."
Exeter head coach Rob Baxter, meanwhile, was wounded at his side's horror show in the first period.
Baxter said: "That is as disappointing with our showing in the first half that I can ever remember in the Premiership. I don't mind the wins and the losses as such. You deal with those as they are going to happen.
"But you have always got to fire some shots and give yourself a chance. I said to the guys at half-time that, if I was a supporter watching that, I would think we were afraid.
"When I say that, I don't mean afraid of the physical contest, I mean afraid to put ourselves out there and go for it.
"We showed in the second half how effective that can be, even against Leicester. The fact is we are sat here now disappointed not to have scored two or three tries with the pressure we had on their line.
"We have won the second half 9-6 and made it a real contest, but we have got what we deserved because of our first-half showing. You can't run away from that and I have told the guys that, at this stage, if it does not feel nice and exciting to be playing someone like Leicester, then we have got something wrong."

Backbone Business
You're nothing without an audience (and a plan)
Today, every market is a crowded one. You don't have much time with a potential customer, investor, or partner before they make a decision about who you are and what you stand for. If there's a mismatch between what you'd like to say and what you're actually communicating–or you're throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks–then you're leaving your audience confused. And a confused mind always says no (or scrolls down, or deletes the email).
Creating a visual and verbal brand language empowers you and your company to connect with your audience authentically. It soothes the confused mind and communicates your values, both internally and externally, reinforcing belief in your vision. It's not a nice-to-have add-on to your business. It's crucial to what you do.
Get a backbone, get a message, and get going: Create a brand that connects with your target customer and converts them into a diehard fan. Schedule a free audit with Backbone Business to tackle your burning branding questions or your thorniest business problem.

Love this idea!
Projects: 100 Strangers
Back in 2008, I started a personal project called 100 Strangers. There used to be a website about this project, but it doesn't seem to be around anymore.
Anyway, the goal was to photograph 100 Strangers – people you just met on the street, workers that came to your house, new people. The goal was to take you out of our comfort zone and engage with people.
When I started, I gave myself a few elements for my portraits:
- They had to be in B&W
- I'd put a white frame around them for consistency (though as you can see from the ones posted here, that element evolved a bit.
- I'd have to learn a little bit about my subject – not a snap from far away or just a hasty photo.
One lunchtime I was in New Brunswick and came up Agatha and her friend having a smoke break outside a building. I had been considering this project but was nervous: Once I started, I'd be all in – couldn't quit it. I didn't know how hard or how easy it would be be.
Anyway, I remember I had my "Nifty Fifty" lens on my Canon 20D and was just out photowalking. I got to chatting with Agatha and her friend, and the project came up, since it was on my mind. I asked them both to do portraits and away we went.
I stuck pretty well to this formula. I'd have my good streaks and down streaks, but made portraits of people all over the world.
I was thinking about this recently because of a Facebook friend I have, Tom Darin Liskey. Tom's a renaissance man: Writer (he spent nearly a decade working as a journalist in Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil and has had his fiction and poetry published in a number of places), photographer, speaker, family man. He lives in Texas now. I can't quite remember who or why we became FB friends, though I think it's because all the other writer friends I have led me to him.
Anyway, while his writing is sharp, his photography is beautiful. He has a number of spiritual-related projects he's working on, and also photographs many people he meets a long the way.
It was in one of those posts that I mentioned 100 strangers. He wasn't familiar with that project, which is why I looked for the website again. Tom is doing 100 Strangers without knowing he's doing it. He's out there meeting people, and taking some beautiful environmental portraits of them.
He has a fantastic touch with color and, though shooting on the street, keeps his backgrounds free of distractions. A "clean" background as I like to say.
It's not easy walking up to a someone you don't know, engaging them in conversation and getting them comfortable in a short period of time to be able to take a nice portrait of them. I know this project definitely helped me with taking portraits.
Tom is multi-lingual and multi-cultural and I believe that helps him with his portrait taking. I'm assuming he as a gentle personality, too. Someone with a big huge personality may be great in the studio, but it may be a bit too much out on the street (though, I guess, yes, you can't be passive when doing stranger portraits. You'll never get any.)
Tom already has a nice way with people, a way to get them comfortable quickly and get nice images. Check out his work and enjoy it. Follow his work on Instagram.
And, with 2018 coming up, perhaps you are considering some photography-related goal-setting. I say, consider a 100 Strangers project to take you out of your comfort zone and get better at photographing people. You don't have to set a time limit to be done by – heck it took me a few years to get up the courage to ask 100 people for a portrait. But try it. You may like it. And I'm sure it'll make you a better photographer.
If you're already doing (or did) a 100 Strangers, let me know in the comment about it. Was it hard for you? Did it help you? What other photo projects (A 365 project, a 52 week project, etc) do you think it would be good for people to consider to stay on track, motivated and inspired? I'd love to hear about them.

Sixteen-year-old Solomon is agoraphobic. He hasn't left the house in three years, which is fine by him.
Ambitious Lisa desperately wants to get into the second-best psychology program for college (she's being realistic). But is ambition alone enough to get her in?
Determined to "fix" Sol, Lisa steps into his world, along with her charming boyfriend, Clark, and soon the three form an unexpected bond. But, as Lisa learns more about Sol and he and Clark grow closer and closer, the walls they've built around themselves start to collapse and their friendships threaten to do the same.
I really had no idea what to expect when I started to read this book. It is a story that shows what true friendship can do for people and how important it is to be honest with your friends. It was a short book and I quite enjoyed it. There are quite a few Star Trek references that would definitely make more sense to Trekkie people but even if, like me, you aren't a Trekkie it is easy to understand. The book depicts an "easy" fix to mental illness but does acknowledge that this really isn't the case and the right treatment is needed and may take many years. It also acknowledges that people with mental illness are people too and should be treated as such.

What is it?
Augmented Reality is the integration of digital information and imagery onto the real world in real time. It uses cutting edge technology to superimpose computer-generated images onto a user's view of the world – providing an 'Augmented' experience.
Unlike virtual reality, which immerses users into a completely artificial environment, Augmented Reality uses the existing environment and enhances it with new information and incredible imagery.
With Augmented Reality, the possibilities are endless. It allows users to access digital content like videos, images, 3D virtual objects and data to supplement views of the real world – providing users with more information about their environments. As well as adding additional information, Augmented Reality has the ability to change and remove real world information – allowing certain pieces of content to be isolated to draw users attention.
Augmented Reality is a step beyond virtual reality, as it provides more freedom for users. The possibilities for event professionals are endless, as the experience can be accessed via your smartphone and tablet, or even Augmented Reality integrated glasses and head-mounted displays. Whichever technology is used, everyone is only one-step away from their Augmented Reality experience.
How we do it?
At Digital Popups, we specialise in Augmented Reality for events – where we believe the possibilities are endless. Whether you are looking to use the technology for corporate or family events. It enables our clients to create unique experiences for their customers or guests, which inspire, engage and influence in a memorable way.
For the most common, and widely applicable Augmented Reality experience: it only takes 3 simple steps to bring your traditional print to life with unique and relevant interactive content…
- Download Zappar, our Augmented Reality free app
- Point the phone camera at the interact invitation, poster or brochure
- Listen, watch and interact with it
Simple, easy and fun!

In our five-day work week world, Mondays have a very bad reputation. It's the day many of us have to leave the love, support, and fun of home life and march back out into the big world. This phenomenon has real health effects. Monday morning has been shown in studies to create a 20% spike in heart attacks, as compared to the rest of the week.
There is nothing different in the water, the air, or our food on Monday. There is, however, a huge difference in the way we think about Monday morning. Stressful thoughts lead to stressful biology. We've even developed a whole cultural mindset about Mondays. Listen to the TV or the radio and you'll here phrases like "back to the grind."
Monday is one-seventh of your life. Why would you spend the other six dreading it and all day on Monday hating it? Many people do. I have in the past. This something I have really tried to work on in myself.
It's not Mondays that we hate. It's the stress of doing things we don't love. It's the belief that following our bliss cannot pay the bills. Instead, we conclude, we must do jobs that stress us out and fail to fulfill us.
Join me today in honoring Monday as a significant part of your life. Let's all pledge to begin taking steps to do the things we love instead of things we have to do. I'm not saying it's easy. I'm just saying let's remember we have a choice.
By changing our thoughts about Monday and making changes in what we get to do on Monday, we can truly restore this important day back to our lives.
There is a fantastic song from the musical Rent called "Seasons of Love". It's a great pick-me-up on this Monday and I hope it reminds you that every moment – even Monday moments – are important.
Stay inspired this Monday and always!

A stack mould can double the production capacity in comparison with a single-face mould in the same injection moulding machine. Because forces between cavities cancel each other out, the required clamping force in a stack mould is basically the same as in a single-face mould.
Main advantages of stack moulds are as follows:
- Double production capacity;
- Optimum use of production floor space;
- Lower energy consumption;

Tom and Jerry:1941
The slow pace of the Tom and Jerry films continued with "The Midnight Snack". Jerry breaks into the refridgerator in the middle of the night, but Tom is wise to him.
As Jerry makes off with a piece of cheese, Tom constructs an obstacle course before the mouse, complete with a bread staircase and a rolling pin.
Whe Tom's fun with Jerry results in crashing dishes, Mammy runs downstairs to investigate. Tom frames Jerry for the mess and Mammy begs Tom to catch the mouse.
Jerry gets the upper hand by trapping Tom on an ironing board and sending the cat crashing into the fridge. Mammy finds Tom inside, and as Jerry eats his cheese reward, Tom gets an off-screen beating by his owner.
These early films are charming in thier own way, but the best was yet to come, as Tom and Jerry shift things into a higher gear.

A Season in Hell
Hell's Kitchen Radio #277: Music Is My Friend
October 10, 2016 @ 8:00pm
OK, I've got to be honest with you. After all, you've been here with me, week in, week out for all these long years. How could I ever lie to you? Actually, that's not very difficult seeing how I don't ever actually look you in the eyes, and they say you can really tell if someone is lying to you by looking them straight in their eyes. My older sister used to tell me that my pupils were dilating if I was lying to her. I think that was a lie, come to think of it. Huh.
Anyway, this show was from October 10, 2016 and I never took the time to do a write up and post it. how very rude of me. You take the time to listen to my show, the least I could do is take some time and post the archived podcast of it so you can download or stream it over and over again. I know that you are just dying to have this on your hard drive so you can listen to my voice and choice of music years after the apocalypse. And why not!? Good for you!
So it may already be April 2017, but damnit this show is just too good NOT to share! I can't recall what I spoke about on this night, but looking at the playlist below it looks pretty tasty.
By the way, I have plenty of other shows I have yet to post. I really do need to do something about this lazy streak I have in me.

After the cancellation of the procedure at the Office of Rusafa
Baghdad / Sabah / Shaima Rashid
The Electoral Commission has canceled the manual counting and counting of the Baghdad / Rusafa elections office, announcing the completion of the counting and sorting of all the funds and stations for which complaints and appeals have been received, while the preliminary results, according to press weights, indicate a 99% match from the previous results announced by the Commission.
Council of Commissioners
The official spokesman of the Electoral Commission, Judge Laith Jabr Hamza, on Monday: The Board of Commissioners of the judges assigned to the end of the counting and manual counting of all polling stations and stations, which received complaints and appeals in all governorates of Iraq
and elections abroad.
"The Board of Commissioners decided to cancel the counting and manual counting of the Office of the elections in Baghdad / Rusafa," adding Hamza, "indicating the reasons called for by looking at the minutes of disclosure prepared by the judge managing director of the UNHCR office in Baghdad (Al-Rusafa), which was carried out after the fire that was exposed to the warehouses of the Office of Rusafa, which included the record mentioned that the site of the accident is a warehouse belonging to the Ministry of Commerce and a tenant by the Commission and the store that was burned includes a number of updating the biometric registration number (1050) As well as several biometric verification and number (8124), Picos (7533), (1128) speed boosters (1128), RTC (1140), and 882 ballot boxes.
Hamza added that "all the above mentioned organs and ballot boxes were completely damaged by the incident, which can not be conducted by the process of re-counting and manual sorting in accordance with the provisions of the Third Amendment to the Law of elections of the Iraqi Council of Representatives No. 45 of 2013 amended in the second paragraph which required the conformity of barcodes with ballot papers And the decision of the Federal Court No. 99/104/102 / Federal / Media on 21/6/2018, and therefore was issued a decision not to conduct manual counting and counting of centers and stations
Baghdad / Rusafa. No change in the results In this regard, the former member of the House of Representatives, Farid Brahimi, that the results of counting and manual sorting will not change the results. Brahimi said, "Sabah": In light of the media leaks traded, the results corresponded to 99 percent of its predecessor, so there will be a clear change or apparent or an influential change in the political scene by the survival of the same blocks announced in the previous results, Any effect in the case of the rise of one or two and that the areas where the forgery was apologized for counting and sorting on the pretext of the absence of Ramat in these areas. In turn, reported a member of the former parliament, the high Nassif, that the next two days will witness the announcement of the results of counting and manual sorting that took place to some of the ballot boxes questionable after the completion of those operations to the ballot boxes, indicating that this came according to the judges transferred. Nassif said in a press statement: The judges assigned to the Electoral Commission will open the appeals section for 3 days beginning after the announcement of the results, pointing out that the judges will report the safety and transparency of the results showed by the electronic devices after matching the results in most of the provinces except Anbar, In 4 seats, the carcock changed only two seats. Warning of chaos while warned the head of the Turkmen Front, Arshad Salhi, the Electoral Commission that it "will take responsibility for the chaos in the province of Kirkuk in the absence of a radical change in the results of the parliamentary elections after the counting and sorting by hand." "If there is no real change in results, we will be unable to control the street," Salhi said, stressing "the need to act wisely with Kirkuk and to conduct a comprehensive manual counting and counting." On the other hand, the political analyst, Haidar al-Musawi, pointed out that most of the weights indicate the matching of the results in most of the governorates, although we can see a change of seat in a block or another, pointing out that the assignment of the judiciary to conduct the counting and sorting abort any objection to the results As there is no higher authority than the judiciary. Al-Moussawi said in an interview for Al-Sabah that there would be no objection to the results because of the simple reason that the Iraqi street today is different than it was previously. Be deficient and need a legislative council of any parliament, "indicating that it is possible to make a simple media uproar by the leaders of the losers, who lost their fans in the management of some positions. Al-Moussawi called for an apology to the Commission if the results were met and the opposition political figures should take the initiative, pointing out that the elections are the highlight despite the media hype that accompanied them. He continued: The concern of the Iraqis of the election results is not a media fuss, stressing that the results will confirm that the electoral process did not receive any major fraud.

Swallowing Darkness (Merry Gentry #7)

Swallowing Darkness (Merry Gentry #7)
By:Laurell K. Hamilton
Swallowing Darkness (Merry Gentry #7)
Merry Gentry series
HOSPITALS ARE WHERE PEOPLE GO TO BE SAVED, BUT THE DOCTORS can only patch you up, put you back together. They can't undo the damage. They can't make it so you didn't wake up in the bad place, or change the truth to lies. The nice doctor and the nice woman from the SART, Sexual Assault Response Team, couldn't change that I had indeed been raped. The fact that I couldn't remember it, because my uncle had used a spell for his date-rape drug, didn't change the evidence—the evidence that they'd found in my body when they did the exam and took samples.
You would think being a real live faerie princess would make your life fairy-tale-like, but fairy tales only end well. While the story is going on, horrible things happen. Remember Rapunzel? Her prince got his eyes scratched out by the witch, which blinded him. At the end of the story, Rapunzel's tears magically restored his sight, but that was at the end of the story. Cinderella was little better than a slave. Snow White was actually nearly killed four different times by the evil queen. All anyone remembers is the poisoned apple, but don't forget the huntsman, or the enchanted girdle and the poisoned comb. Pick any fairy tale that's based on older stories, and the heroine of the piece has a miserable, dangerous, nightmarish time of it.
I am Princess Meredith NicEssus, next in line to a high throne of faerie, and I'm in the middle of my story. The happy-ever-after ending, if it's coming at all, seems a very long way away tonight.
I was in a hospital bed, in a nice private room, in a very nice hospital. I was in the maternity ward, because I was pregnant, but not with my crazy uncle's baby. I had been pregnant before he stole me away. Pregnant with the children of men I loved. They'd risked everything to rescue me from Taranis. Now, I was safe. I had one of the greatest warriors that faerie had ever seen at my side: Doyle, once the Queen's Darkness, and now mine. He stood at the window, staring off into the night that was so ruined by the lights from the hospital parking lot that the blackness of his skin and hair was much darker than the night outside. He'd removed the wraparound sunglasses that he almost always wore outside. But his eyes were as black as the glasses that hid them. The only color in the dim light of the room was the glints from the silver rings that climbed the graceful line of one ear to the point that marked him as not pure blood, not truly high court, but mixed blood, like me. The diamonds in his earlobe sparkled in the light as he turned his head, as if he'd felt me staring at him. He probably had. He had been the queen's assassin a thousand years before I was born.
His ankle-length hair moved like a black cloak as he came toward me. He was wearing green hospital scrubs that he'd been loaned. They had replaced the blanket from the ambulance that had brought us here. He'd entered the golden court, to rescue me, in the form of a large black dog. When he shape-shifted he lost everything, clothes, weapons, but strangely never the piercings. The many earrings and the nipple piercing survived his return to human form, maybe because they were part of him.
He came to stand beside the bed, and take my hand—the one that didn't have the intravenous drip in it, which was helping hydrate me, and get me over the shock I'd been in when I had arrived. If I hadn't been with child, they'd have probably given me more medicine. For once I wouldn't have minded stronger drugs, something to make me forget. Not just what my uncle, Taranis, had done, but also the loss of Frost.
I gripped Doyle's hand, my hand so small and pale in his large, dark one. But there should have been another beside him, beside me. Frost, our Killing Frost, was gone. Not dead, not exactly, but lost to us. Doyle could shape-shift to several forms at will and come back to his true form. Frost had had no ability to shape-shift, but when wild magic had filled the estate where we'd been living in Los Angeles, it had changed him. He had become a white stag, and run out the doors that had appeared into a piece of faerie that had never existed before the magic came.
The lands of faerie were growing, instead of shrinking, for the first time in centuries. I, a noble of the high courts, was with child, twins. I was the last child of faerie nobility to be born. We were dying as a people, but maybe not. Maybe we were going to regain our power, but what use to me was power? What use to me was the return of faerie, and wild magic? What use was any of it, if Frost was an animal with an animal's mind?
The thought that I would bear his child and he would neither know nor understand made my chest tight. I gripped Doyle's hand, but couldn't meet his eyes. I wasn't sure what he would see there. I wasn't sure what I was feeling anymore. I loved Doyle, I did, but I loved Frost, too. The thought that they would both be fathers had been a joyous one.
He spoke in his deep, deep voice, as if molasses, and other, thick, sweet things, could be words, but what he said wasn't sweet. "I will kill Taranis for you."
I shook my head. "No, you will not." I had thought about it, because I had known that Doyle would do just what he'd said. If I asked, he would try to kill Taranis, and he might succeed. But I could not allow my lover and future king to assassinate the King of Light and Illusion, the king of our enemy court. We were not at war, and even those among the Seelie Court who thought Taranis was mad or even evil would not be able to overlook an assassination. A duel, maybe, but not an assassination. Doyle was within his rights to challenge the king to a duel. I'd thought about that, too. I'd half liked that idea, but I'd seen what Taranis could do with his hand of power. His hand of light could char flesh, and had nearly killed Doyle once before.
I had let go of any thought of vengeance at Doyle's hand when I weighed it against the thought of losing him too.
"I am the captain of your guard, and I could avenge my honor and yours for that reason alone."
"You mean a duel," I said.
"Yes. He does not deserve a chance to defend himself, but if I assassinate him, it will be war between the courts, and we cannot afford that."
"No," I said, "we can't." I looked up at him then.
He touched my face with his free hand. "Your eyes glow in the dark with a light of their own, Meredith. Green and gold circles of light in your face. Your emotions betray you.""I want him dead, yes, but I won't destroy all of faerie for it. I won't get us all kicked out of the United States for my honor. The treaty that let our people come here three hundred years ago stated only two things that would get us kicked out. The courts can't make war on American soil, and we can't allow humans to worship us as deities."
"I was at the signing of the treaty, Meredith. I know what it said."
I smiled at him, and it seemed strange that I could still smile. The thought made the smile wilt a little around the edges, but I guess it was a good sign. "You remember the Magna Carta."
"That was a human thing, and had little to do with us."
I squeezed his hand. "I was making a point, Doyle."
He smiled, and nodded. "My emotions make me slow."
"Me, too," I said.
The door behind him opened. There were two men in the doorway, one tall and one short. Sholto, King of the sluagh, Lord of that Which Passes Between, was as tall as Doyle, and had long, straight hair that fell toward his ankles, but the color was white-blond, and his skin was like mine, moonlight pale. Sholto's eyes were three colors of yellow and gold, as if autumn leaves from three different trees had been melted down to color his eyes, then everything had been edged in gold. The sidhe always have the prettiest eyes. He was as fair of face as any at the courts, except for my lost Frost. The body that showed under the t-shirt and jeans he'd worn as part of his disguise when he came to save me seemed to cling to a body as lovely as the face, but I knew that at least part of it was illusion. Starting at his upper ribs, Sholto had extra bits, tentacles, because, though his mother had been high-court nobility, his father had been one of the nightflyers, part of the sluagh, and the last wild hunt of faerie. Well, the last wild hunt until the wild magic had returned. Now, things of legend were returning, and Goddess alone knew what was real again, and what was still to return.
Until he had a coat or jacket thick enough to hide the extra bits, he would use magic, glamour, to hide the extras. No reason to scare the nurses. It was his lifetime of having to hide his differences that had made him good enough at illusion to risk coming to my rescue. You do not go lightly against the King of Light and Illusion with illusion as your only shield.
He smiled at me, and it was a smile I had never seen on Sholto's face until the moment at the ambulance when he had held my hand, and told me he knew he would be a father. The news seemed to have softened some harshness that had always been there in his handsome body. He seemed the proverbial new man, as he walked toward us.
Rhys was not smiling. At 5'6", he was the shortest full-blooded sidhe I'd ever met. His skin was moonlight pale, like Sholto's, like mine, like Frost's. Rhys had removed the fake beard and mustache he'd worn inside the faerie mound. He'd worked at the detective agency in L.A. with me, and he'd loved disguises. He was good at them, too, better than at illusion. But he'd had enough illusion to hide the fact that he only had one eye. The remaining eye was three circles of blue, as beautiful as any in the court, but where his left eye had once lain was white scar tissue. He usually wore a patch in public, but tonight his face was bare, and I liked that. I wanted to see the faces of my men with nothing hidden tonight.

European shares ended a volatile session in positive territory on Wednesday as optimism over earnings outside the financial sector helped offset concern about more writedowns in the banking sector.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares ended up 0.6 percent at 1,312.47 points, having swung between losses of up to 0.9 percent and a gain of as much as 0.8 percent.
Optimism in the technology sector and bid talk in industrials helped push up shares in chip equipment maker ASML by 7 percent and in France's Alstom by more than 4 percent on talk that telecoms and construction group Bouygues may increase its stake in the group.
Bouygues said it wished to keep its holding in Alstom at the same level.
"The earnings season has come in a bit better so far and we have had a representative sample (of companies reporting)," said Philippe Gijsels, a European strategist for Fortis Bank, in Brussels.
"Banks remain weak and there are a lot of writedowns but outside financials, things are fairly good, especially in technology, where we've had some good figures," he said, adding the tough economic backdrop was revealing which companies were truly robust.
