My favorite coconut oil recipes
In a sense, any recipe could be a coconut oil recipe. What I mean by that is, you can substitute coconut oil for other oils (including butter, lard, olive oil—you name it) in just about any recipe known to man. Doing this will almost certainly make the recipe tastier. Coconut oil is delicious; it has a faintly tropical taste that is always present but never overpowering. It's far and away my favorite cooking oil. It's also one of the healthiest foods out there. Because coconut oil has a high percentage of saturated fat, it's much more stable than other oils (especially vegetable oils), and is therefore safer to cook at high temperatures. Believe it or not, it can also help you lose weight! click here to read about coconut oil weight loss.
What Kind to Use
(Note: I would recommend using extra-virgin coconut oil. It's less processed and better for you. Extra virgin coconut oil is also one of the great types of oil for hair growth.)
Thai Food with Coconut Oil
But there are some recipes that are especially suited for coconut oil, and those are what I'm going to talk about here. The first food that might come to mind when you think of coconut oil recipes is Thai. Thai food traditionally uses a lot of coconut oil. You don't have to go out for Thai food, though; you can easily make some homemade pad thai or green or red curry. Here's what you'll need:
- 3-5 tbsp extra-virgin coconut oil (I like a lot)
- 2 cups of beef, chicken, or shrimp
- Vegetables (onion, red pepper, bok choy, shallots, garlic, turnip, chives, and anything else you want to add)
- Thai rice noodles
- For curry: 1 tsp red or green curry paste (for curry)
- For pad thai: 1 egg, 2 tbsp peanuts, 1 cup bean sprouts, 2 tbsp tamarind paste
- And all the seasonings you want: salt, pepper, ½ lime, 3 cloves garlic
- Cook it all stir-fry style; you won't be disappointed!
Hash Browns
One of my personal favorites is to cook hash browns in coconut oil. The potatoes soak up the coconut flavor with ease, adding a unique twist to an old breakfast standby.
I also love to saute vegetables in coconut oil. When I eat them, it feels like the healthiest meal in the world.
One last interesting idea, which is definitely worth a try, is to add some coconut oil to your morning orange juice. It's a great combination!
Melting Your Coconut Oil
Remember that coconut oil is a solid at room temperature. So, you might need to dig it out with a spoon. If you want to be more precise in your measurements, chop it up inside the container with a knife, then use a measuring spoon to scoop out the amount you need.
I know I've barely scratched the surface here; the truth is, there are more coconut oil recipes than you could imagine. I use it for almost all my cooking, and I discover new combinations every week. I even found a few new, unusual uses for coconut oil. Bon appetit!

Azzedine Alaïa to Release a Fragrance
Cher Horowitz Would Rejoice: Alaïa Joins the Fragrance Game
The man behind the dress Cher Horowitz was infamously forced to destroy in Clueless, Azzedine Alaïa is joining the beauty game. The designer has announced that he has signed a fragrance license with Beauté Prestige International. "I have total confidence in Beauté Prestige International to accompany me in creating a perfume that interprets my work and my world," Alaïa told WWD. The house is Shiseido's fragrance division and has released scents for Elie Saab, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Narcisco Rodriguez. With celebrities like Kendall Jenner regularly working the red carpet in his designs, it makes sense that Alaïa would want to build out his brand, because, like Cher said, "he's, like, a totally important designer." No word on when the fragrance will be released, but if they're anything like Alaïa's dresses and shoes, we'd expect something smoulderingly sexy and feminine.

"Bikini Beach Race": Dana Plato and Ron Jeremy star in this racy T&A-drenched laff fest from Troma vet Eric Louzil
When Eric Louzil's Bikini Beach Race originally aired on the USA Network's "Up All Night" (hosted by Rhonda Sheer) in September 1993, a year after it was released to theaters, the title of the movie had already been changed to The Sex Puppets.
Today this lightweight slightly-NSFW T&A-drenched laff fest is memorable not for either title but for the fact that it featured both Dana Plato (former troubled teenage star of TV's "Diff'rent Strokes") and porn star Ron Jeremy in the cast.
See it streaming now on Night Flight Plus.
Bikini Beach Race chiefly concerns a trio of dorky college students who attend the generic-sounding "A University," which apparently exists somewhere in "New Jersey, of course."
The dorks decide to head down to South Florida (the movie was mostly shot in and around Miami and Key Biscayne) where they enter the "10th Annual Coca Beach Bed Race," a yearly charity event where contestants build "bedmobiles" to race (but the race is a bit toned-down since one of the lingerie-clad girls fell off a bed during a previous race).
The main point of the movie seems to be to include footage of an actual annual race that takes place on Labor Day Weekend, the Coconut Grove Bed Race, in which teams of five members — four racers and one rider hitched to the headboard — compete against eachother on beds that are decked out.
Speed wins, of course, but additional awards will are given for theme, creativity and décor (in the film, there's also a Bikini Contest after the race, of course).
The movie begins with a title card which reads:
"In the Age of Darkness, Colleges waged barbaric tortures in the guise of Finals Week. From this bloody hell arose the legend of… The Sex Puppets. A somewhat true story."
The plot pits the dorks — Milo, Jaime and Cheese — and their bed race team, called the Sex Puppets, against a bunch of rich snobs who have their own bed but they are in league with a mob dude who is pressuring them to win at any cost, since the mob dude's got a lot of money riding on their bed to come in first.
The screenwriter here was Xavier "X" Barquet, who also stars as Milo (although he uses the name Daniel Barquet for the film's acting credits).
Barquet — who died in 2006 — was at the time probably best known for appearing numerous times (as numerous characters) on TV's "Miami Vice."
He'd segued into producing by the time he appeared in this film, having worked as an associate producer on director Louzil's Fortress of Amerikkka in 1989.
Barquet had originally gone to the University of Miami before transferring to New York University, where he received NYU's Scholarship Award (one of only 25 given nationally).
The credit for the mob dude (Gino Carlotti) says the actor's name is Ron Hyatt, but he's known to nearly everyone in the world as Ron Jeremy, celebrated adult film star (sometimes nicknamed "The Hedgehog").
Interviewed for The Producers: Profiles in Frustration, Louzil talked a bit about what it was like to work with Jeremy on the film (he's also had bit parts in two other movies that Louzil directed):
"Ron told me that his biggest problem is that he can't have a relationship with a woman. Once they find out what he does for a living, it's all over. I was directing a film in Miami. He had a small part. It was tough because everywhere we went, somebody recognized him. We almost lost one location when the family found out there was a porno star. People would act differently when they found out he was a porno star. There was a girl who wanted to go out with him, thinking he was a famous actor. He says it is typical for him to go out with a girl, and then a couple of days later, he'll call her up and all he'll hear on the other end of the line is screaming."
Louzil had begun his career at UCLA as a film student, graduating in 1975. His student short film Sonic Boom, made in '74, featured Ricky Nelson, George Kennedy, Sal Mineo and the Who's erratic drummer, Keith Moon, who was given a case of Coke and a TV set as part of his contract; Louzil has also said he spent $1400 on cocaine to keep Moon happy on the set.
Louzil bounced around for a number of years at studios in the L.A. area, shooting a lot of his films during the summer months and on weekends, when normal film production wasn't usually up and running full-speed.
In 1986, he met Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Pictures and ended up directing and producing Troma titles, all of them low-budget genre features shot on shoestring budget (sometimes on 16mm and later blown up in post to 35mm for theatrical release, with additional scenes added if there was money left over in Troma's budget).
His first was the 1987 women-in-prison flick titled Lust of Freedom (originally called Georgia County Lockup), and his second film was 1989's Fortress of Amerikkka, Troma's "explosive anthem to sex, violence and action," about a futuristic society where everyone in the world hates America and a secret band of militant mercenaries are terrorizing the entire nation ("Where the brave must fight to be free!")
Two other films he made — Sizzle Beach, U.S.A. (aka Malibu Hot Summer) and Shadows Run Black — are notable today mainly because they're the first two films to feature future Academy Award-winner Kevin Costner, who was working as a stagehand when Louzil cast him in a small role, his first.
Both of Costner's films were shot on weekends and it took over a year for Louzil and his crew to finish making them (Costner later tried to buy the films from Louzil but he'd already sold them to Troma; he didn't want anyone to know about his early movies once he became a star).
Louzil also directed Traci Lord's second "straight" film, Shock 'Em Dead.
Today, however, Louzil is probably best known for directing Class of Nuke 'Em High II: Subhumanoid Meltdown (1991) and Class of Nuke 'Em High III: The Good, The Bad and the Subhumanoid (1993), part of the Class of Nuke 'Em High film series.
In that same interview we mentioned above, Louzil also spoke at length about Dana Plato, who stars in Miami Beach Race as "J.D.," the saucy hydroplane speedboat pilot (!) who becomes the team captain for the Sex Puppets:
"Dana Plato appeared in a couple of my films. When I first met her, she was like a caged animal [from drugs]. We were shooting on Key Biscayne. We were all living in this Polynesian Village house. She didn't have any drugs. She'd make so-called 'Russian cocktails.' She'd go to the store and get Psuedofed [Sudafed], Nyquil, and just mix everything together. She was trying to straighten her life out."
"She had a miserable childhood. She was on [TV show] 'Diff'rent Strokes' (1978-86). When she got pregnant on the show, she went in to the producer and said, 'I can either have an abortion or have the child on the show.' Within half an hour, she was fired [in the show's seventh, and next to last, season] because they didn't want to have anything to do with any of it. Her manager absconded with all her money, and the life savings of about twenty other clients. Because she was a minor on the show, all her checks went to him."
"When we met her, she was working as a hostess at a Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas. She was high all the time. That's where she held up the video store, in Las Vegas."
"She met some guy who was a control freak. He would call her every ten minutes on the set to ask 'What are you doing?' He'd take all her money all the time. She was so afraid. She would tell stories about how she was electrocuted at her grandparents' house. How they would beat her. She had a troubled childhood and it never got any better."
Dana Plato appeared in three of Louzil's films altogether, including Silent Fury (1994).
Plato — born Dana Michelle Strain on November 7, 1964, in Maywood, California — always had a troubled life, just as Louzil said. Her mother, Linda Strain, was an unwed teenager who was already caring for an 18-month-old child when she was born.
Seven months after her birth, in June 1965, she was adopted by Dean Plato, who owned a trucking company, and his wife Florine "Kay" Plato, and she grew up in the San Fernando Valley suburb of Los Angeles.
Her adoptive mother began to push her into acting at an early age, but Plato was also interested in becoming a figure skater, and split her post-school free time between sports and acting lessons and auditions.
By the time she was seven years old, she was already appearing in TV commercials (for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Dole, etc.) and movies. She made her film debut at the age of twelve in the 1977 horror film Return to Boggy Creek; ther early credits included Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977) and California Suite.
When she was thirteen, she had to decide whether she wanted to continue to compete in figure skating — an a likely spot on the U.S. Olympics figure skating team — or whether she wanted to star in a new network TV sitcom (she had been spotted by a producer who saw her on TV's "The Gong Show").
She chose the sitcom, playing Kimberley Drummond on NBC's Diff'rent Strokes, the daughter of Phillip Drummond (Conrad Bain) a wealthy white widower in New York City who adopts two black boys, Willis (Todd Bridges and Arnold (Gary Coleman).
The show launched Plato and her castmates to instant stardom, but new pressures came along with their fame and salary. All of the young co-stars on the show began to live wild lives off-set, indulging in pot and cocaine. She suffered an overdose of diazepam when she was fourteen.
Plato was nineteen when she discovered she was pregnant, and she was dropped from the show; she married rocker Lanny Lambert, the father of her son Tyler, in April of 1984.
Plato thereafter appeared in a lot of low-budget b-movies, and even video games — Night Trap is considered a pioneering title because it was the first game to use live actors, specifically a well-known personality — but she struggled to make a living as an actress.
During interviews, she'd admitted that her mother had vetoed two roles early in her career — as "Regan MacNeil" in the 1973 film The Exorcist, and in Louis Malle's 1978 film Pretty Baby (those star-making roles went to Linda Blair and Brooke Shields, respectively) — but she was never quite able to get up to that level again.
She eventually split with husband Lanny Lambert (by then a Tulsa club owner) in January 1988, the same week her mother died of scleroderma; Lambert eventually gained legal custody of Tyler when it was determined that Plato's addiction to drugs and alcohol made her unfit to raise him on her own.
Plato tried numerous times to revive her career. She hired a new accountant to manage her money and also had breast augmentation surgery, revealing her new, mature image in a June 1989 Playboy photo spread, but no big Hollywood movie offers came her way.
As Louzil said, the accountant later embezzled the majority of her savings and fled the state, leaving her with $150,000 in savings and no job leads (the accountant was never found or prosecuted, having embezzled as much as $11 million from his clients).
On February 28, 1991, at the height of her desperation, she held up a local video store, grabbing less than $200 from the register. The clerk called 911, saying,"I've just been robbed by the girl who played Kimberly on 'Diff'rent Strokes.'"
Approximately fifteen minutes after the robbery, Plato returned to the scene and was immediately arrested.
She was bailed out of prison by Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton, and was let off easy, receiving no jail time and only five years of probation. In January 1992, she was arrested again, this time for forging a prescription for Diazepam.
She served thirty days in jail for violation of the terms of her probation and entered a drug rehabilitation program at Western Recovery in Vegas immediately thereafter.
Plato spiraled out of control, and moved to Las Vegas, but was unable to find work there and ended up working in a restaurant when she talked to Louzil about appearing in Bikini Beach Race.
She appeared nude in Prime Suspect (1989) and Compelling Evidence (1995), and in the softcore erotic drama Different Strokes: The Story of Jack and Jill…and Jill (1997), whose title was changed after filming in order to tie it to Plato's past.
Following her appearance in the film, in 1998, Plato appeared in a cover story of the lesbian lifestyle magazine Girlfriends, in which she came out as a lesbian, although she later recanted.
On May 7, 1999, Plato appeared on the nationally-syndicated "The Howard Stern Show radio show, talking with Stern and phone callers about her life, her financial problems and her past run-ins with the law.
She admitted to being a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, but claimed that she had been sober for more than ten years by that point, and was not using any drugs, with the exception of prescribed painkillers due to the recent extraction of her teeth.
The claims were not true.
The next day, May 8th, Plato and her manager Robert Menchaca — to whom she was engaged to be married — were returning to California, the couple stopped at Menchaca's mother's home in Moore, Oklahoma, for a Mother's Day visit (they arrived just days after her modest red brick home was spared by the tornadoes that had caused much damage in the city).
She was later found in the couple's 37-foot Winnebago motor home — their only home — which was parked outside the house, where she had died of an overdose of Valium, the painkiller Lortab (a powerful perscription pain reliever ten times stronger than codeine) and the muscle-relaxant Soma.
Her death was later ruled a suicide. Dana Plato was 34 years old.

CLEARANCE - The Hague-Moscow 1948
Match/Tournament for the World Chess ChampionshipProduct Code: B0068RE
On March 24, 1946, the fourth world chess champion, Alexander Alekhine, passed away. He was the first – and still the only – champion to die while holding the title. To select a new champion, a powerful quintuple round-robin was held in The Hague and Moscow. The five strongest players of the era, including one former world champion, two future world champions, and two perennial contenders, took part in a grueling two-month, 25-round tournament.
"The match-tournament of 1948 in The Hague and Moscow was one of the most important events in the history of chess. It produced a new world champion, Mikhail Botvinnik, and it was also the start of a new era in which the championship would be regulated by FIDE by means of an intricate system of qualification tournaments that would function with only small changes for decades." (From the Foreword by Hans Ree)
Max Euwe, the fifth world champion, wrote a splendid account of this historic event. It includes a review of all previous encounters between the participants, background information, as well as all the games of the tournament, deeply annotated by Euwe. This fascinating account is finally available in English.
You are invited to follow Mikhail Botvinnik, Vassily Smyslov, Sam Reshevsky, Paul Keres and Max Euwe as they battle for the title, and the chess world starts its journey through the post-World War II era, and the beginning of the Soviet hegemony.

Flood day gets special status
THE first anniversary of the floods in the Lockyer Valley has been declared a special holiday by the State Government rather than a public holiday as previously reported.
January 10, 2012 has been declared a special holiday for residents and businesses in the Lockyer Valley Regional Council area for the first anniversary only.
Mayor Steve Jones said the granting of a special holiday, rather than a public holiday, was a good outcome for businesses in the region.
"The special holiday means that if businesses choose to open on that day they can and they won't have to pay penalty rates to their staff and workers," he said.
"This will be a day of sombre reflection as we join together to mourn those who lost their lives on that fateful day, but to also celebrate how far we as a community have come.
"Originally it was thought the day was to be a public holiday, but with further advice from the State Government, it has now come to light that the day will be a special holiday."
Council's offices will be closed on January 10 and residents are encouraged to attend the regional commemorative service at Lake Apex Parklands in Gatton at 9.30am.

Temperance Movement Rocks up Dostoevsky's White Bear
Temperance Movement Rocks up Dostoevsky's White Bear
The Temperance Movement
White Bear
Earache Records – release Date 15th January 2016
Opening with Three Bulliets, with its catchy chorus drumming with intent the power of the music sweeps through the speaker creating a wall of sound that has layers of tones and patterns that hooks you in; and you want to hear much, much more. White Bear is a wild animal of an album from The Temperance Movement, Rock N Roll that turns up the volume and tempo. The album is titled after a quote from Dostoevsky's Winter Notes on Summer Impressions: 'Try to pose for yourself this task: not to think of a polar bear, and you will see that the cursed thing will come to mind every minute.' Temperance Movement are not cursed – the music is innovative and builds strong shapes distorting dimensions so that the notes from guitar and drums swirl and capture the power and message of lyrical driven tracks. This is a five piece that uses every note available building crescendo's and shading the quiet so you are beguiled, entranced, delighted and moved to dance in equal measure. The band based in London and Glasgow combine a pedigree of experiences in the world of music distilling, re-blending into the movement sound. The vocals of Phil Campbell are central, influential in how each song has its own tempo and feel. Around the front-man bassist Nick Fyffe sets the groove and the rest of the rhythmic movement is provided by drumming that stands-out on every track from Damon Wilson. Into this charismatic mix comes the twin guitar power of Paul Sayer and Luke Potashnick, who since recording the album has left The Temperance Movement, in future the second guitar will be delivered by Matt White.
The guitars open and the sonic picture is created and A Pleasant Place I Feel creating the equivalent of a Rock n' Roll musical hug. The guitar playing is such that you want the place to exist and never disappear. This is no gentle folky track it is progressive Rock n' Roll that groans and rolls around the lyrics exciting music once again from The Temperance Movement. The tonal picture changes swampy, raw roots rock sound of Modern Massacre embeds itself and is a delightful earworm the drumming rhythmic digging deep into the collective American memory with a Native American feel, this is arena drama at any live show. The title track, White Bear is full of clashing symbols that fade away to a delicate, almost fragile delivery of the lyrics this is a beautiful track with the whole band kicking in and the tempo is on fire, this is a bear dancing with delight. The juxtaposition of quieter and rockier movements makes this the heart and soul of the album. Followed by Oh Lorraine fast, blues with added potion of funk of the future modern and this will have the crowds waving and cheering as the tempo kicks in and Oh Lorraine will be sung back whenever played live. The closing track I hope I'm Not Losing My Mind is quieter, the tempo is slower the ballad book has been opened. The track has an ethereal, out of this world feel as if the mind is being lost. The lyrics are sharp and deep and closes this album full of thought so that you can reflect back on White Bear that is full of every colour of the spectrum and will excite every time you listen to Temperance Movement's White Bear.
There is a cohesive feel about the album, as if the music flowed out in one session. In fact that is anything but the truth, this is an album that has travelled in its creation as it moved from Rockfield to Fish Factory and then on to Abbey Road. White Bear is a huge album that will be the talk of the town when released on 15th January 2016. Sit back enjoy the musical journey of The White Bear and above all listen to the lyrics, they are meaningful, relevant and fitting for the world we are embarking on through 2016.

The euro on Thursday fell to its lowest level versus the dollar since the middle of 2017 after the European Central Bank said it will maintain its ultralow interest rates until after the end of the year — an extension from before — and said a new long-term refinancing program for eurozone banks was coming.
The euro /zigman2/quotes/210561242/realtime/sampled EURUSD -0.1017% , which had been little changed ahead of the policy decision, slipped to $1.1182, compared with $1.1309 late Wednesday, hitting its lowest level since June 2017, according to FactSet. The shared currency has fallen for four straight days.
The ECB on Thursday announced it would launch a new round of targeted longer-term refinancing operations, or TLTROs, to eurozone banks. On the rate front, the central bank had previously said it would hold off on any rate hikes until some point after this summer.
See: Here's why the ECB's surprise policy moves sent shivers through global stock markets
The central bank also downgraded, as expected, its 2019 forecast for eurozone-area gross domestic product to 1.1% from 1.7%. The ECB now sees 2020 growth of 1.6% versus a previous forecast of 1.7%, while the outlook for 2021 was unchanged at 1.5%.
Read: Beware the 'Japanification' of Europe, warn ING economists
An extension of the TLTRO loan program could prove a positive for the euro, as it would theoretically stimulate lending in the eurozone and spur further growth, said Boris Schlossberg, managing director of FX strategy at BK Asset Management, in a note prior to the policy decision.
During a subsequent news conference, ECB President Mario Draghi said the central bank saw the probability of a recession as "very low," but also that the governing council was reliant on economic data, which is currently pointing down.
The "ECB delivered fireworks: a new series of TLTROs, basically acknowledging the slow growth in the eurozone," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at ThinkMarkets. "This announcement made traders go wild and this pushed the euro-dollar price lower."
The U.S. dollar regained strength on the back of its major rival's weakness. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index /zigman2/quotes/210598269/delayed DXY +0.12% was last up 0.5% at 97.388, its highest level since December.
In U.S. economic data, jobless claims for the week ended March 2 came in slightly lower than expected. Fourth-quarter productivity grew at a rate of 1.9%, while unit labor costs increased 2%.
Other major currencies saw slightly more movement compared the buck and the euro. The British pound /zigman2/quotes/210561263/realtime/sampled GBPUSD +0.1226% slipped to $1.3072, versus $1.3169 late Wednesday.
The Japanese yen /zigman2/quotes/210561789/realtime/sampled USDJPY -0.1820% eked out some strength against the greenback, with one dollar buying ¥111.62, down 0.2%.
Canada's dollar /zigman2/quotes/210561978/realtime/sampled USDCAD -0.0076% gave back its earlier gains Thursday, following its decline in the previous session after the Bank of Canada delivered a dovish policy update. One U.S. dollar last bought C$1.3464, little changed.
In emerging markets, the Argentine peso /zigman2/quotes/210561956/realtime/sampled USDARS +0.0090% traded to a record low versus the greenback Thursday as the economy struggles to curb soaring inflation. The peso hit an intraday low of 42.60 versus the dollar, and in most recent trade, one dollar was buying 42.50 pesos.
The peso has fallen 10.2% versus the greenback since the beginning of the year, according to FactSet data.

How it all began....a little history
For many years , Clemmons remained a small village on the westernmost edge of
Forsyth County near the Yadkin River. During the late 1960's the village experienced
rapid growth and during the 1970's it became the fastest growing community in
Forsyth County.
Many Master Masons were among those who made home in Clemmons. After several
attempts to establish a masonic lodge here failed, a meeting was called on January
16, 1978 by Brother Larry Kirby who felt there was sufficient numbers of Masons in
Clemmons to support lodge. The meeting was held at Clemmons Baptist Church.
Brother Kirby called the meeting to order and explained the purpose of the meeting
to the 27 Master Masons who were in attendance. On a show of hands, 19 indicated
an interest in demitting while eight declined. Worshipful Brother B. A. Byrd, District
Deputy Grand Master of the 46th Masonic District, shared with the group the steps
that would be necessary in forming a lodge. In order for the lodge to have sufficient
financial base, he recommended it would take at least 50 members, although less than
50 would be acceptable.
Worshipful Brother Byrd appointed Brothers Larry Kirby and Ron Dodson as co-
chairmen of the committee. The following volunteers were appointed to serve on the
committee: Brothers Charles Anderson, Jim Smith, Arvil Stanley, John Canupp and
Felix Hege.
The second meeting of interested Masons was held on January 30,1978.Worshipful
Brother Byrd advised the group that nothing could be done to form a lodge until after
the Grand Lodge Annual Communication in April and that the Grand Secretary wanted
to meet with our group before a dispensation was granted. He confirmed a minimum
of 30 members would be sufficient to begin a lodge.
On March 20, 1978, Right Worshipful Brother Pete Dudley met with the group to
review Grand Lodge requirements for forming a lodge.
On April 10, 1978, a meeting was called and was attended by eleven Master Masons.
The name of Clemmons Lodge was presented as a recommended name for the lodge.
By a unanimous vote the name was approved. On a motion by Brother John Boyer and
seconded, it was agreed that Stated Communications would be held on the first
Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. and that other meetings would be called as
A temporary meeting place was secured from Dr. W. E. Berry who offered a portion of
the lower level of his office in Clemmons. It was necessary that members of the lodge
prepare the space for meetings which would Grand Lodge requirements.
The institution of Clemmons Lodge was held on Friday, November 3, 1978 at 8:00 p. m.
at the Masonic Temple in Winston-Salem, N. C. Most worshipful Jacob C. Goodman, Jr.
presided and granted a Dispensation to thirty three brethren to form Clemmons
Lodge, U. D. The Dispensation and the gavel was delivered to the Worshipful Master,
John Canupp, P. M. by the Most Worshipful Grand Master who resigned the chair to
the Master.
The ceremony of Constitution of Clemmons Lodge #755 was held at the Masonic
Temple in Winston-Salem, N. C. on May 5, 1979. Most Worshipful Grand Master William
B. Belois presided. The following officers of Clemmons Lodge #755 were installed;
Master John K. Canupp, P. M.
Senior Warden Larry Kirby
Junior Warden Henry Hendrix
Treasurer Roy Raines
Secretary Ronald W. Dodson
Senior Deacon John Boyer
Junior Deacon Danny Hodge
Senior Steward Dale S. Liner
Junior Steward Earl C. Baker
Chaplain Paul P. Ranson
Tyler J. Frank Cook
The Charter of Clemmons Lodge #755 was formally presented to Worshipful Brother
John Canupp, P. M. Master.
Clemmons Lodge #755 has experienced steady growth, current membership consists of
over one hundred members, including more going through the degrees.
Property was purchased and the Lodge completed in March, 1987

We've seen a box office landslide of superhero movies recently. These classic stories have it all – and despite the fantasy there is always something in these tales to speak to our reality.
In the movie The Hulk, when scientist Bruce Banner gets angry his gamma-ray radiation-infused cells morph him into a temporary green beast of immense strength – he becomes a gross outer exaggeration of his inner rage.
Only two things can calm the Hulk: time and solitude, or his love, Betty Ross.
Betty's tender gaze, her gentle touch, her softness amidst the rage and carnage is the only thing that can overcome the beast. She looks past the green monster to the man inside.
As the Hulk sees Betty, his inner man wakes up and Bruce Banner eventually overcomes the beast. All that is left is a weakened, broken man amid the rubble.
We can be like the Hulk. We can get caught up in a destructive 'state' -rage, denial, self-destructive habits, pride, lust, envy or other sins.
We use these to try to escape pain from wounds lodged deep within our souls. Pains as varied and different as the sins we use to cover them up. Just like the Hulk we try to avoid our pain or destroy it completely, but our efforts are all pointless and self-defeating.
When we wake up from our 'Hulk state' reality hits and we have to pick up the pieces from the bliss of our self-destruction.
When we are unaware we are at our most destructive: this is why God desires that our eyes be opened. The Bible says it is God's 'loving kindness' drawing us to repentance. Repentance; being truly sorry, is waking up from our 'Hulk state' to see the hurt and damage we have caused, crying bitter tears of disbelief as to how we could ever cause so much pain to others and to God himself, the greatest lover of our souls and someone who always wants the best for us.
One of the most painful and humbling times in my life was soon after my wife left me. God graciously showed me who I really was deep down underneath all the pain: a lost little boy crying out for his father.
I was Bruce Banner waking up from his Hulk state, and boy did I see the destruction around me: how brash, cold and selfish I was with my wife. It hit me so hard I proceeded to fall headlong into a bottomless pit of despair. 'How could I have been so uncaring?' I said over and over.
A friend reassured me that this wasn't who I was anymore. I knew I hadn't been a monster, but even little wrongs piled up and hit me like a ton of bricks.
I then realised the extent of my sin against my friends and family, and the hurt and disappointment I had caused them. I had no excuses left: I was completely undone, and completely guilty.
All I could do was to admit my mistakes and beg each person for forgiveness. I would have freely accepted any punishment—it was deserved—but I came to discover how forgiving people are when you are humble and genuinely repentant.
This is how and why God wakes us up: not to punish us, but to show us our true selves. We begin to see we have hurt God most of all. When we truly realise this we are first overcome with dread, we have no excuses and are willing to take the punishment for what we have done.
At this point God says,"I know you're guilty. I love you so much that I sent my Son into the world to take the punishment for the wrongdoing and destruction you have caused. The punishment for your misdeeds has been taken care of, I have taken the punishment upon myself—such is my love for you".
Repentance is waking up! Just like Betty Ross frees the Hulk, God frees us from the trap of our pain and sin.
Instead of being forever a monster we are redeemed. We become like the Avengers, able to take what once caused such destruction and use it to set others free. Instead of being used by the enemy of God, God's love empowers us to overcome the enemy.
"....It was for this very reason that the Son of God appeared, that He might destroy the works of the evil one", says 1 John chapter 3, verse 8.•

A quarter of young millennials are delaying college because of costs, survey finds
Student debt is on the rise, and instead of incurring that debt at a young age, some people are choosing to put off college.
TD Ameritrade (AMTD) partnered with The Harris Poll and surveyed over 3,000 Gen Z's, "young" millennials, and parents for the 2019 Young Americans & College Survey to uncover exactly why there's been a shift in attitude towards attending college.
The survey found that a quarter of young millennials (those ages 22-28) are putting off college or trade school because of associated costs. Nearly one in five young millennials haven't gone to college or trade school and aren't sure they ever will.
"There are some students who are saying a four-year traditional degree may not be for me," Dara Luber, TD Ameritrade's Senior Manager of Retirement, told Yahoo Finance's YFI AM on Tuesday. "There's always going to be a need for those who go to trade schools. So there could be a shift in how you're approaching life after high school."
According to the study, 20% of young millennials have over $50,000 in debt, and are also expecting to be paying off student debt past the age of 50.
"More students are seeing the need to not only go to college, but I think part of the increase in the debt is also the need or the feeling that you need to go on to go to grad school to achieve the right job," Luber said.
Although some parents remain adamant that their children attend college, others have experienced student debt themselves, and understand why their children wouldn't want that burden.
"They [parents] understand what it is to have to pay back those loans, and how much it could impact not only for themselves, but for their students, future retirement savings, being able to buy their first home, get married, and have children. All those downstream impacts of having to pay back their student loans when they get out of college," Luber said.
Students are considering options like taking online classes, completing a two-year degree instead of a four-year degree, and taking a gap year.

The Great Chicago Fire struck twice. Once in 1871 and once again last night. The first time Chicago (and it's brand) needed to be repaired. Now, I'm afraid it's a small business who's reputation needs to be saved. Both incidents had the potential to be devastating, just in different ways. Chicago rose like a phoenix from the flames in 1871 (I'm so sorry. I just had to say it. I couldn't help myself.). So will one of my favorite little theaters, RedMoon.
The Little Engine That Could
Redmoon is essentially a public art/performance art theatre company, founded in 1990. It's mission, per it's website is to "Transform the experience of our urban landscape through ephemeral events that disrupt everyday life and provide opportunities for public engagement, community building and recognition of the possibility of change." Together with their small staff, producing artistic directors Frank Maugeri and Jim Lasko bring new meaning to the concept of "small business, big product." Last night was to be it's biggest triumph.
My Possibly Feeble Attempt at Spin: In Defense of an Idea
Raging from October 8th to October 10th 1871, the Great Chicago fire killed 300ish people, destroyed 3.3 square miles, and left more than 100,000 residents homeless. It was one of the largest U.S. disasters of the 19th century, and decimated most of the city's central business district. Last night, the wonderful, risk-taking RedMoon theatre attempted to "simulate" the event and celebrate the strength of this great city in the first annual "Chicago Fire Festival." They did it amazingly well…just not in the manner expected. No matter what they tried, they could not get the Water Tower sets floating on the river to ignite as planned….proving definitively that Chicago is not just strong…it's indestructible!!!
On my FB page, I wrote, "I loved freezing my tail off with thousands of other lively Chicagoans, supporting this great city and one of the best little theaters in Chicago. You go, Red Moon! Next year it'll be a great blaze."
Not everyone agreed. Actually, apparently, no one agreed.
The Promise
This event was over a year in the making. Last evening was to be a water show on the Chicago River, with the "stage" covering the area beneath three bridges in close proximity. The "stars" of the show were three floating platforms anchored near each bridge, carrying a structure that looked like a large Victorian House circa 1871. The free show was to include flaming buoys, caldrons lowered from the bridge, performances by Redmoon and the Chicago Children's Choir and the finale, the torching of the "houses" to symbolize the original fire. Inside each "house" was stored the big reveal: fireproof symbolic sculptures to rise from the flames (I won't mention the phoenix again. I promise.). Other elements of the show included constructed steamboats intended to deliver the fire to ignite the houses, and a fireworks display, with music, to conclude. There was also a pres-how bazaar offering crafts and food from 30 kiosks representing Redmoon's neighborhood partners.
Last night's event was the culmination of a year of collaboration with Chicago neighborhoods, including a photo booth in which about 7,000 people have posed. For each individual posing, the photos represent challenges overcome and new opportunities to celebrate. Hundreds of the resulting photos lined the area surrounding the river and were flashed from screens on 75 kayaks in the show's final moments.
Major undertaking. Get the picture?
The Reviews
Reviews weren't kind, with headlines like Chicago Tribune's "Some feel burned by Great Chicago Fire Festival," "Chicago Fire Festival Fizzles After Technical Problems" (WGN), and "The Great Chicago Fire Festival Was a Total Bust" (www.chicagoist.com). All very clever, as the media likes to be. Audience members were equally dismayed. It was, after all, unseasonably cool for a 2-hour outdoor hangout with no finale.
And yet…the nature of performance art is that it simply isn't predictable. Painters don't share their work until there's a finished project. Not so, with this type of production. Technical difficulties occurred that were apparently weather-related. The universe did not comply.
The Point
My friends, all this is to say how critical it is to manage customer expectations. It's always better to under-promise and over-deliver and this was an example of the opposite.
Prior to the show, I commented, "What a marketing coup this is!!! 30,000+ in attendance will leave knowing and applauding this little company that was unknown to probably 90% of the viewers prior to the show. Not to mention the impact of the media coverage expected." Yes, this certainly would put Redmoon on the map in a very public way.
After the show, I commented, "I sure hope this wonderful theatre survives the abuse that's about to be thrust upon them." I'm certain they will endure but, apparently, in infamy.
Are there other marketing lessons to be learned? Well, I'm hoping that the old cliche, "Any publicity is good publicity" holds, but of course that one has backfired for a lot of companies lately. "Bendgate" was funny/fun for many, but Apple's stock took a significant hit due to (if Apple's to be believed) a mere 9 Iphone 6+ defects.
To err is human, especially in a production this mammoth, and I hope my fellow Chicagoans can accept that this is all part and parcel of the pioneer spirit for which we're known. Meanwhile, if you're about to take a giant leap with your small business, think about setting expectations that you're certain you can meet. Under-promise and over-deliver and you can't go wrong.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Former University of Notre Dame men's and women's soccer coach Dennis Grace, who led the Irish to their first NCAA Championship appearance in men's soccer, died Friday at his home in Elkhart, Ind., after a long battle with cancer. He was 60.
Grace served as Notre Dame's second varsity men's soccer coach, heading up the Irish program from 1984-89. He also was the first varsity women's soccer coach in the 1988 and '89 seasons.
His first Irish men's team in 1984 finished 12-6-2 and his 1986 Notre Dame squad ended up 13-7-2. In 1987 Grace's Irish defeated perennial power Indiana (4-3 in overtime) for the first time, started the season 14-0-1 (on the way to 17-3-1 overall) and achieved their first national ranking — in the first season of play in 5,000-seat Moose Krause Stadium.
In 1988 Grace's squad finished 17-4-2 and made its first NCAA Championship appearance, falling 2-0 at 11th-rated SMU. Notre Dame started 9-0-2, won the Midwestern Collegiate Conference title (with tournament wins over fourth-rated Evansville and third-ranked St. Louis) and produced the program's first All-American in third-team selection Randy Morris (by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America).
The Irish that year finished 15th in the Intercollegiate Soccer Association of America rankings — and Grace was named MCC and Great Lakes Region coach of the year.
Grace also coached the Irish women's soccer program in its first two varsity seasons in 1988 and 1989. Notre Dame finished 13-6-1 and 12-10 in those two years–winning nine of 10 games over one stretch in '88 and putting together a 10-game midseason win streak in '89.
His combined career mark at Notre Dame lists at 101-54-15 (.638) — 76-38-14 (.648) in six years with the men and 25-16-1 (.607) in two seasons with the women. Grace originally came to Notre Dame in July 1984 as an assistant men's soccer coach, then assumed the head coaching role just prior to the season.
Before coming to Notre Dame, Grace spent one season as head men's soccer coach at Bloomsburg State (4-11-1 in 1983), preceded by a year at Indiana State-Evansville (10-7-2 in 1980) — now the University of Southern Indiana — and two seasons at Tri-State (8-2-1 in 1978 and 11-5 in 1979).
He was named Mid Central Conference coach of the year in '79 when he led Tri-State to a league title. Grace spent the '81 and '82 seasons as an assistant coach at Clemson (the Tigers finished a combined 36-4-1 in those years).
Grace's overall record as a collegiate head coach was 134-79-19 (.646).
A collegiate soccer player at Indiana, Grace earned two letters as a striker for the Hoosiers in 1974 and '75. He previously attended The Behrend College (Penn State Erie) in his native Erie, Pa., for two years. Grace also coached the Bloomington (Ind.) Cosmos club team for three seasons. He worked as an assistant at Indiana for two seasons before taking the Tri-State position.
Born May 22, 1953, Grace is survived by two sons, Christopher Grace of Indianapolis, Ind., and Michael Grace of New Orleans, La.
Visitation is 5-8 p.m. EDT Wednesday at Stemm-Lawson-Peterson Funeral Home in Elkhart. A funeral Mass will be at 9:30 a.m. EDT Thursday at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the Notre Dame campus. Interment will be at St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Dennis Grace Memorial Fund, c/o Indiana Soccer Foundation, 5440 Herbert Lord Road, Indianapolis, IN 46216. The fund will support a soccer coaching clinic that will take place annually in Bloomington in Grace's name. The fund also will annually honor a young coach who completes an Indiana Soccer coaching course through presentation of the Dennis Grace Award "for their desire to improve the young lives of youth through the sport of soccer."

This agreement covers both e-invoices and paper invoices. The value of this framework agreement amounts to approx. SEK 30 million.
OpusCapita won the contract against tough competition including some of the largest IT suppliers in the world and is the sole contracted service provider. An important factor for ESV was that the solution offered by OpusCapita gives the authorities a simple and natural connection to PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement On-line). For Swedish authority, read more about how to suborder from this agreement here.
PEPPOL is a network for e-commerce and e-procurement, which consists of a technical platform, agreements, plus guidelines and specifications. PEPPOL provides a simple way for buyers and sellers to connect. By joining this network, users are given access to all buyers and sellers who are connected to PEPPOL internationally. PEPPOL provides support for priority electronic processes for invoicing, orders and procurement and is designed to manage processes in Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G) transactions.
E-commerce is an important area for improving the efficiency of the public sector, and also provides advantages for companies that are either suppliers to the public sector or pay bills received from the public sector. Countries all over Europe are currently working in this area and our neighbors in Scandinavia have already introduced legal requirements for this. PEPPOL will facilitate the transition to e-commerce and will play a central role in the services supplied by OpusCapita under the framework agreement.
All government agencies in Sweden will need to be connected to PEPPOL in order to manage their invoicing. The framework agreement with OpusCapita will make this possible, and OpusCapita will be a key player in helping the public sector during this transition to more efficient invoice processing.
–"We are very happy to have this new agreement in place. As soon as we have completed the final acceptance checks, we can open the door for the authorities to start using the agreement," says Åsa Fröding, who is managing this project at ESV.
OpusCapita has invested considerable resources in creating a user-friendly service that can be implemented quickly and which also creates more transparency and control. The agreement is in line with OpusCapita's long-term strategy for helping organizations and companies in their transition from paper invoices to e-invoices.
– "We are very much looking forward to starting our collaboration with ESV. This agreement is strategically important for us and strengthens us in our vision to create a complete system which covers the entire payment process. We are proud that OpusCapita is making it possible for Sweden's public administration to digitalize their operations and move completely to e-invoicing. We think it is very exciting to be making this move together with ESV and other Swedish authorities," comments Matts Ek, Head of the B2B onboarding program at OpusCapita Sweden.

Sweden was the first European state to print bank notes 350 years ago, and now it looks like they may one day be one of the first nations to go cashless.
Currently cash is used in 42 percent of the transactions in Sweden and it's expected to keep dropping reports Bloomberg in the video report above.
Already some stores in the Swedish capital Stockholm refuse cash and many bank branches no longer carry hard currency.
Even homeless vendors selling magazines use wireless card readers to enable transactions via debit or credit cards.
With a highly digital population, it means it's possible that cash in Sweden will be made redundant sooner, as opposed to later.

It goes without saying that one of the most important skills for a basketball player is the ability to jump. If you have always wanted to learn how to jump higher than other players, then it's time to start following a program specifically designed to increase the height of your vertical jump. You could buy special books designed especially for basketball jumping, but most of the information you need is available online at sites like One Great Earth. To put it simply, what you are looking to achieve is to build up the fast-twitch muscles in your legs.
Start A Vertical Jump Program
So how do you start following a program designed to increase your vertical jump? For starters, it's essential to start each workout with warmups targeting your leg muscles. Like any other workout program, you must take the necessary steps to avoid injury . Not only does that mean doing a proper warm-up, it also means stretching the leg muscles gently during your warm-up and again during the cool down.
One example of a good leg muscle exercise is toe-stairs running. First you run up the stairs on your toes, taking only one step at a time. Then you walk back down to recover a bit. Next you run up the stairs again on your toes, this time taking two steps at a time. Then walk back down. To start with, you should tackle only one flight of stairs until you build up enough strength to try two or three flights. You can also gradually build up the number of repetitions as your strength improves.
Other excellent exercises for improving your jumping include double jumps, elevated jumps, and explosive jumps. It is also very helpful to add sprinting to the rest of your workout. Sprints help you to build up the necessary muscle mass that you need for explosive jumps. And finally, don't neglect getting the rest that you need. The gains in your muscle mass happen during the resting phase (which is the time when the muscles repair themselves), not during the actual exercise phase.
It's not difficult to learn how to jump higher for basketball. Just follow a steady program of practicing these leg exercises, and in a few weeks you will definitely notice an increase in your jumping skill! Be patient and don't expect results overnight, though, because like with all exercise programs, it takes time to build up muscle mass and learn new muscle-memory patterns.

PARIS — Bernard Perris, the French designer known for producing ready-to-wear with a couture flourish, has died of cancer at the age of 73.
This story first appeared in the August 10, 2010 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Perris had retired from fashion since leaving his post as artistic director of Jean-Louis Scherrer in 1997, devoting himself to the upkeep of the spectacular garden at his property in Eygalières in the Provence region of France.
Growing up, Perris was strongly influenced by his mother Emma, an impeccably groomed figure who owned a clothing boutique in his native Millau. His elegant style, honed by stints at Guy Laroche, Jacques Heim and Christian Dior, was popular with celebrities including Faye Dunaway, Joan Collins and Diana Ross, but his most stalwart supporter was Baroness Inès Reille, who was his muse and unofficial brand ambassador for 25 years.
"I was the kind of woman he liked: pulled-back hair, very thin with a long neck," Reille said. "He became a very close friend and someone I appreciated immensely, because he was always very thoughtful and kind. That's why he had a lot of friends, because he was very genuine. In that sense, he stood out a little in the world of fashion."
Nicole Fischelis, group vice president and fashion director at Macy's Inc., worked for Saks Fifth Avenue at the time. She recalled Perris as a jovial, cultivated man with a knack for tailoring and a strong feel for fabrics.
"We used to do a lot of trunk shows with him. He had a very elegant clientele," she said. "His clients were often his friends, so he had a very good sense of their lifestyle and their needs."
Maryline Bellieud Vigouroux, president of the Institut Mode Méditerranée, staged an exhibition at the Museum of Fashion in Marseille in 2001 featuring some 60 outfits designed by Perris and donated by Reille. "His style was like an illustration by [René] Gruau," she said. "It was all about bold strokes and a very strict silhouette."
Perris launched his label in 1969 with his longtime life and business partner Jean Lacourrège. At the height of its commercial success, the brand had 25 stores — including a unit on Madison Avenue in New York — and was available in 1,250 points of sale worldwide.
Perris left the house he founded in 1994, when the brand name was sold to Japanese group Coronet.
A ceremony is scheduled to be held for family and close friends in Eygalières on Sept. 4. Perris is survived by his mother and brother.

This collection of original, cohesive and concise essays charts the vital contextual backgrounds to James Joyce's life and writing.
John McCourt is Lecturer at the Universita Roma, Tre.
'Featuring the contributions of thirty-two distinguished scholars
of Joyce, Irish literature and history, and modernism, James Joyce
in Context is an exemplary introduction to the many contextual
influences on the author's career. Not only does this study succeed
in elucidating Joyce's historical groundings for the present-day
reader, but it departs from the traditional biographical study by
focusing on Joyce scholarship as well as primary texts. In so
doing, it consistently highlights the contemporary significance of
Joyce's works, and by calling attention to scholarly areas that
need further research, it also aids in the maintenance and
development of Joyce criticism.' Christopher Devault, English
Literature in Translation
'The best introduction to James Joyce scholarship available, John McCourt's James Joyce in Context draws together thirty-two essays that frame the author's works biographically, critically and historically. Its impressive variety of perspectives makes reading it feel like walking into a massive, bustling Joyce symposium where, as our luck would have it, every talk attended is a plenary - a conference of keynotes ... This collection will change the way we introduce ourselves and each other to the contemporary field of Joyce studies.' Spurgeon Thompson, Irish University Review: A Journal of Irish Studies
'While reflecting on current critical trends, [this] volume succeeds in being very forward looking, as it lays down a solid foundation for students beginning work in this field, and sows the seeds for new kinds of contextual research within Joyce studies.' Journal of the English Association

Advanced promoting is a mind boggling field for 'learners' to explore. Many hoping to contribute or learn, must find the majority of the diverse sorts of promoting computerized advertisers do. One that is trying for financial specialists to comprehend is content promoting. Indeed, content advertisers will always feel they need to clarify their job, and the work they do, to entrepreneurs, customers and whatever is left of the world. In this way, for all the 'non-adherents' of substance, we're here to disclose everything to you.
Indeed, we've addressed driving computerized showcasing organization, Revive.Digital, about the significance of substance advertising. With their useful tidbits, we've made a post about substance promoting. Clarifying everything from what it is, the thing that it includes, how it's deliberate and how productive it very well may be for a business. Along these lines, kick back, unwind and perused about it.
What is content promoting?
Along these lines, how about we begin with the 'what'. Content promoting is tied in with making profitable data and drawing in substance for perusers, watchers and then some. Since making content is something other than composing online journals and articles. It's infographics, recordings and webcasts (to give some examples). The objective of substance showcasing is to not offer an item or advance a brand, but rather it's tied in with creating client intrigue and commitment, site movement and giving data – some of the time, with expectations of prompting a deal.
Content advertising underpins a great deal of the work behind SEO (website streamlining), as substance is filed via web indexes. Site content should be advanced and enhanced with watchwords, yet at the same time perused well and bode well. Along these lines, this is the place content advertisers/marketing specialists come in, and take a shot at enhancing a site's substance, streamlining it for web search tools. It's likewise a profitable piece of marking, making educational and connecting with posts for brand supporters. It makes their visits to your site beneficial. Making an advancing knowledge is at the core of substance advertising for clients. Furthermore, for organizations? It's tied in with acquiring movement and showcasing a brand through video, pictures, sound and composed pieces.
What does content advertising include?
Like we've stated, content showcasing is tied in with making important, shareable and educational substance for clients. However, what does the procedure include? The substance advertising cycle is genuinely straightforward:
1. Tune in and Research
The main stage is tied in with understanding what clients need to see, read about, watch and listen as well. It shapes the structure for future substance pieces. You'll have to comprehend your gathering of people, and also inquire about on slanting, pertinent points via web-based networking media and different destinations (like yours). For SEO purposes, watchword investigate is an essential part, as you have to settle on a mainstream catchphrase to target. Comprehend and research what's well known, what works and what your crowd needs to see.
2. Subjects and Topics
The subsequent stage is to settle on subjects and themes. It's basic to settle on a few points and topics you accept, and your examination appears, will perform well with the two clients and web indexes. For clients, the topics should be something significant to your image and pertinent to what the clients need to see. What's more, for web indexes, content should be upgraded and be significant to the catchphrase you're focusing on. Regardless of whether it's meaningfulness and watchword thickness for content or the pertinent 'alt labels' on pictures, advancing work for web indexes is vital. When subjects and themes are settled on, it's an ideal opportunity to make.
3. Make Content
Along these lines, in case you're setting up a camera for video or digging in to begin composing a blog, the substance creation process is essentially the equivalent. It's tied in with interpreting exploration, subjects and topics into a type of substance. We'll go over the points of interest of each type of substance we've recorded:
Online journals and Articles: composing pieces enhanced with watchwords, that give the client data of significant worth and that draws in them as well.
Video: this will include content composition, storyboarding, recording, altering and now and again overlaying illustrations as well. Once more, this ought to educate and connect with the gathering of people.
Infographics (picture): shaping points and thoughts into a realistic or delineation to educate or connect with perusers.
Digital broadcasts (sound): this involves scripting, recording and altering, to ensure the substance is, you gotten it, educating and drawing in for the listening gathering of people.

something distinctive about the way the Lion walks in the jungle.
Quietly, confidently, never questioning his right to be there, the Lion
walks through the underbrush while other creature's screech, chatter,
and run to hide from the jungle king. No other animal walks quite like a
Lion. Elephants lumber down the paths, thumping their way through the
underbrush; tigers glide smoothly along, their stripes blending into the
foliage. They're all fine animals, to be sure....
But they aren't Lions.
This law of the jungle operates on the playing fields, too. No one else walks quite like a Lion. They may swagger and boast, they may screech and chatter all they like; they still aren't Lions. Other teams may be very nice kids, very nice coaches, very nice cheerleaders, but somehow they just aren't Lions. They don't have Lion spirit, they don't have Lion determination, and they don't have Lion excellence.... They don't walk like Lions, and they don't have Lion pride.
What makes the Lions walk the way we do? It starts with that special thing called "Team Spirit".
We mean something different by these words than most other
organizations do. Others mean something like "loyalty" or "excitement"
or even "loud cheering"; that's not the Lion definition of TEAM SPIRIT.
We refer to that bond that keeps us together, that tells each one of us
that we're part of something special; part of a smoothly functioning
machine, or part of a living body. Just as no part of a machine is
unimportant, just as no part of the body is more valuable than any
other, EVERY member of this team -- players, cheerleaders,
coaches, support personnel, parents, friends -- is a valuable part of
the whole thing called the....

| 10.1°C Belfast
A 34-year-old man has been charged after a police officer was hit by a Ford Transit.
Leicestershire Police said the officer was responding to reports of an offence in Loughborough on Sunday afternoon when he was hit near the junction of Allendale Road and Hillcrest Drive.
The male officer was taken to Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre and is in a "stable condition".
Mark Courtney Johnson, of Armadale Drive, Leicester, is due before magistrates in the city charged with grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving causing injury, driving whilst disqualified and two counts of robbery.
