When a hurricane is approaching or even "just" a severe storm, there are steps you can take to help protect your patio enclosure or pool enclosure from damage. Of course, there is nothing you can do to guarantee with absolute certainty that your Brevard County screen enclosure won't sustain damage during severe weather. But there are steps you can take to lessen the likelihood of damage.
Keep Foliage Trimmed | Pool Enclosures in Cocoa, FL
It is helpful to keep any trees or bushes surrounding the enclosure well-trimmed. Cut down any broken or loose branches and twigs. Those can easily become air-born objects during a storm. If you have large trees like palm trees in your yard, you will definitely want to make sure they are well-maintained. You don't want any large branches or palm fronds having a greater chance of being propelled through your screens.
Move Potted Plants Indoors | Screened In Porch in Palm Bay, FL
If you have any potted plants inside your screen enclosure, you should move them indoors. Not only can they get blown into your screens causing damage, but the high salt content in the air during hurricanes (especially if you are quite near the ocean) can damage many plants. By bringing your potted plants inside, you are giving them a better chance of surviving the storm.
Secure Deck Furniture | Pool Screen Repair in Melbourne, FL
You will want to secure all lounge chairs and any other outdoor furniture, such as patio tables and chairs prior to a storm. If you can put them in a garage or shed, then you should do so. If you have to bring them inside, it may not be convenient, but it is better than leaving them outside to be blown into your screens causing damage.
Store Pool Toys | Aluminum Porch Enclosures in Brevard County
Remove all pool toys from the pool if you leave them floating freely. They should be secured in a bin, a shed, or the garage. These will not likely cause damage if they are inflatable, but it is possible since they may have sharp edges and anything flying at a high velocity can cause damage. Also, if your screen does get torn away by the storm, those pool toys will blow away, never to be seen again, which will make for some unhappy little swimmers once the storm subsides!
Basically, make the interior of your screen enclosure as bare as possible prior to a storm and clear away the area surrounding the enclosure as best as possible, as well. The less loose items in your yard, the more likely your screen enclosure will withstand the storm.
In the event that your patio enclosure or pool enclosure sustains damage, please give us a call right away at Tripod Aluminum! We are located in Melbourne and serve Cocoa, Merritt Island, Palm Bay, Satellite Beach, and the neighboring towns. We specialize in patio enclosures, pool enclosures, and screen repairs. We have been in business for over twenty years. We know that it is discouraging when screens get damaged, but we will have them repaired for you and looking like new so that you can get back to enjoying your outside space as quickly as possible. We look forward to hearing from you!

Bescoby, David and Bowden, William (2013) The detection and mapping of Saxon sunken-featured buildings at Caistor St Edmund, Norfolk. Archaeological Prospection, 20 (1). pp. 53-57. ISSN 1075-2196Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
Strong archaeological evidence exists for the presence of Anglo-Saxon settlement at the former Roman civitas capital Venta Icenorum, including two cemeteries of early Saxon date. A large-scale magnetic survey west of the former walled town has revealed a complex palimpsest of surviving subsurface features, several of which were cautiously interpreted as the remains of Anglo-Saxon sunken-featured buildings (SFBs). Targeted earth resistance measurements enhanced the interpretation in terms of likely subsurface morphology. One of these anomalies was subsequently subject to archaeological excavation, revealing the surviving remains of an SFB of middle Saxon date. The magnetic susceptibility of deposits sampled during excavation was also evaluated and a simple forward model constructed to compare a theoretical magnetic response of the structure to that observed in the field. A reasonable correlation was observed, allowing the quantitative characterization of similar magnetic anomalies revealed in the survey data. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

best airsoft guns 2016 came into being in Japan in 1980. Airsoft guns will be the most recent toy firearm replicas. The airsoft video games happen to be a fury with individuals world-wide. As the real firearms are the reason is the firearms are modeled airsoft guns just. Even reloading procedure and their fat is the same. These kinds of firearms push the 6mm nonmetallic pellets at speed ranging anywhere between 30-260 m/s by the way regarding spring- compressed fuel or driven piston. It really is electrifying intriquing, notable and enthusiastic.
The firearms are plentiful in the marketplace and hence, this is a difficult job to find an airsoft weapon of your demands. You need to pick a firearm which usually satisfy spending budget and your specifications . If you are to buy the airsoft gun, you need to keep the following issues in accounts:
o Costo Maintenanceo Functionalityo FPSo RPMo Ability
You will find there are only three mechanisms of airsoft guns specifically:
o Electric powdered gun: they make utilization of a battery power to improve the shooting mechanism from the firearm. They're rather pricey and are popular with individuals. The best benefit may be the extra power packs are somewhat smaller as compared to the gas storage containers.o Gas powdered gun: the gas canisters are generally connected to the firearm by the hose pipe or bodily. The airsoft firearm BB's is forced by the pressurized gas. For those who want to get the can that's airsoft with gas pistols that are little, it is best to purchase several gas canisters in one go. This can help you evade steady trips to the gas supplier and allow one to save great deal of time in addition energy.a Spring filled firearm: they may be least fashionable as they can be none automatic nor semiautomatic. After each and every fire the actual spring has to be re-cocked and this clearly hampers the short sequence with the airsoft gun BB's.

A South Carolina man is facing homicide charges after he allegedly fled his burning car amid a police chase, leaving his 1-year-old daughter to burn to death in the back seat.
According to The State, a state trooper attempted to pull over Imhotep Osiris Norman, 26, for speeding at 10:20 p.m. Friday on State 14 in Greenville County. Authorities said Norman continued to flee on Interstate 85 as sparks coming from his undercarriage eventually turned into flames.
Troopers used a rolling roadblock, reportedly leading Norman to exit the burning car and take off on foot. WYFF reported that firefighters discovered the body of a toddler, identified as Xena Rah'Lah Norman, in the back seat of the vehicle after they extinguished the blaze.

Imhotep was accused of throwing a bag containing drugs out of the vehicle before running off. Troopers elicited the help of a K9 unit to search for him. Though their initial search was unsuccessful, troopers eventually located the suspect and charged him with homicide by child abuse, according to WHNS.
During a bond hearing on Saturday, Imhotep claimed the car wasn't on fire when he engaged in an on-foot pursuit with police.
"I would have stayed in that car with my daughter. I would have never got out the car while the car was on fire," he said, the news station reported. "I seen sparks coming from under the tires when I tried to stop and I couldn't stop at that point. I don't know why what happened to the car … why I couldn't stop."
Imhotep, who reportedly has prior weapons and drug charges on his record, is being held without bond. WHNS reported that an autopsy will be performed on the toddler to confirm her cause of death.
Authorities said additional charges are pending.

Landsail offers its tyres up for testing
Landsail tyres, which are produced by Qingdao Sentury Tire Co. Ltd in China's Shandong province, are offering their tyres for magazine testing in a bid to demonstrate the quality of its products.
According to the company, the move made as the Landsail brand reaches its fifth anniversary, follows accelerated investment in engineering, production capabaility, and R&D, which the manufacturer said has led to continuous improvement in the quality of their tyres across the whole range.
It's clear that the strategy behind the move is to differentiate Landsail from being "just another Chinese tyre". Indeed 2014 has seen investment in Landsail continue to grow and with a brand new workshop within the Sentury factory and a new factory in Thailand – due to begin production in 2015. This means that by the end of 2015 annual capacity will increase from 15 million pieces per year to 25 million.
As well as offering, car, van and winter tyres. Landsail is able to boast an SUV range with sizes up to 24 inches, run-flats and even aircraft tyres! And, according to the company, much of this is made on world-class machinery such as VMI Exxium tyre builders – indeed Tyres & Accessories understands Sentury Tire has used VMI builders since its inception.
However, as good as the latest machinery is and as rapid as Landsail's ascendancy has been, there is still a lot to be said for process and experience. And the only way that a relative newcomer can convince the market and consumers otherwise will be through experience – all of which makes the firm's decision to begin courting tyre tests all the more interesting.

My edition:Kindle Unlimited
Series: Hashtag #3
Rating: 3.5 stars
Synopsis: Off of Goodreads
Players gotta play.
Hate is like a poison. It contaminates everything.
So does doubt.
Even though I deny what I overheard, even though I insist it isn't true, the seed of doubt has been planted. I can't help but be tormented with the endless what-if's that have taken over out lives.
Romeo and I were happy in love. The future stretched before us brighter than any star in the darkest sky. Now everything is broken. Literally broken. Romeo's entire career is at stake, my entire future is threatened… and my past?
It's coming back to haunt me.
To haunt us.
Romeo says w're in this together and right now the only sure thing is us. But how far can a love so new be pushed? The lengths we will have to go to save each other puts everything at risk.
Romeo is a #player but how much of the game can one person play?
Review: Okay first things first… that blurb… depressing as shit. I didn't really read the blurb until I had to write it for this post.
Now onto the book… this one wasn't drama all the way through and it wasn't just sex, sex, sex either. We got a little more into depth with Romeo and Rimmel's relationship. Romeo's mom is still kind of a bitch to me. That won't ever change. I understand she did what she did but she could have done something differently. But then again there really wouldn't have been much of a plot for this story.
Zach wasn't as big in this as in the first and second book which was nice since he was the one who brought on a ton of drama that was beyond ridiculous.
I think I really do like that each book has is the Alpha buzz on the first page of every chapter. Some of those are really funny.
If you were a Transformer
you'd be Optimus Fine.
…Alpha BuzzFeed
Early morning sex has been
proven to be more effective than
…Alpha BuzzFeed
I drank some Red Bull, but it
didn't give me wings.
…Alpha BuzzFeed.
Now Hebert can write some good sex scenes. The fire between Romeo and Rimmel was burning bright. I mean damn. I had to stop reading this at work once because 1. it was really good and 2. it was so good I started to get into a mood. Yeah I had to stop.
In most reviews you will see people swooning over the ending. After reading the ending, yes I am part of the swooners. It was awesome. Now at the end it says #Selfie is Braeden's story. Hmmm… Let's do this.

FreezPen erases skin lesions and defects safely, precisely, and comfortably, with cryotherapy.
Cryotherapy is the gold standard for the removal of skin lesions in dermatology and aesthetic practices.
Why FreezPen?
It's the stress-free option that allows for a smooth and fast treatment of common benign skin lesions. Can be used to safely remove skin tags, sun and age spots, and other benign lesions on your face and body.
- Fast
- Safe
- Precise
- Comfortable
- No downtime
- No Scar
Other therapies' disadvantages:
- Lack of precision
- Damage to healthy cell tissue
- Pain
- Multiple treatment sessions required
- Scars
- Risks of depigmentation
How it works:
- Rapidly and precisely freeze the unwanted lesion.
- Water in the lesion cells will freeze, expand and rupture the cell membrane.
- Targeted lesion cells are destroyed, and the lesion disappears after healing.
A few days after the treatment:
- A blister may form.
- Granulation and formation of new skin.
- The old lesion will turn into a scab.
1- 3 weeks after the treatment:
- The old lesion will fall off.
A couple of weeks after the treatment:
- Some redness may remain, but the skin will continue to heal and return to its original color.

Download Twist and Lock Instructions
Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader
Like John Guest Standard Fittings, Twist and Lock Fittings have a collet with stainless steel teeth that grip the pipe when fully inserted, and an O-ring to provide a permanent leak-proof seal. The additional benefit of the Twist and Lock fitting is that a twist of the screw-cap gives greater compression on the O-ring seal and locks the pipe in place for greater security.
To prevent damage to the O-ring remove all burrs and sharp edges. When using Speedfit Pipe, we recommend the use of a Pipe Insert. The insert should only be used with Speedfit Pipe.
The fitting should be in the 'unlocked' position. This is shown by a small gap between the screw-cap and the body flange. Push the pipe into the fitting and up to the pipe stop.
Twist the screw-cap until it touches the body flange. This locks the pipe into position and increases the o-ring seal around the pipe.
Pull to check that it is secure. It is good practice to test the system prior to leaving the site or before use. The recommended test procedure is shown in the John Guest Technical Checklist.
Ensure that the system is depressurized.
Be sure to twist the screw-cap back to the unlock position. Push the collet square against the face of the fitting by using fingers. With the collet held in this position the pipe can be removed.
The fitting can be used again without the need for replacement parts. (Ensure the fitting is clean before every use).
Remember to pressure test the completed installation according to the recommendations in the John Guest Technical Checklist.

Full The Watching Woods Walkthrough
A full walkthrough including all the items, enemies and bosses is shown below. You can add links, images. and other details.
The Watching Woods is the fourth region you will tackle after making your way through the Village of Smiles. Poison is the theme of these woods. So as you may be able to guess, be prepared to get poisoned (to death) a lot. In the words of the Stone Alchemist found in the Woods, "Man is truly a wretched thing, and the forest is committed to expunging him from existence." Therefore, the Poison Cytoplasms are the enemies to watch out for as they can cause a lot of poison, which deals exponentially more damage if stacked.
Upon entering the Woods, you will encounter a couple of Drowned Bandits nestled around a white-rope trap. Past them is the edge of a cliff, that looks into a bunch of tree-branch ledges that you will need to hop around for a major part of this region. Head right 2 ledges, and then down the one which has two Skullbat hanging atop. You will find yourself on a candle-lit platform with a Pouch of Salt and 3x Antitodes.
From there, head to the right, and continue heading right, staying upwards where possible, past the Vilehawk till you find yourself stone-platform with 2 item pouches atop the 2 ledges on each corner. The one on the left has 3x Antidotes and a Poison Cytoplasm waiting for you. From there you should jump to the right ledge to find a Bullwhip and 3 more Antidote.
Head down that ledge and continue heading right from the stone-platform, past another Vilehawk, and upwards till you find a wooden-platform with stairs leading up to it. (If you go up and to the left before that platform, you will find another wooden platform with a Stone Sellsword and a Buckler shield on it.) On the platform you will find a Bloated Monstrosity, and next to him will be another set of stairs going up, and a ladder going down. The stairs lead up to one of the bosses, The Mad Alchemist. The ladder takes you down the next Sanctuary, which belongs to the The Stone Roots. This is a new Creed that you will encounter, and can join if you "Take Oath" at the altar. NOTE: doing so will abandon your previous Creed and earn you a Sin, which prevents you from changing creeds again (among other consequences) until you clear the sin.
You can speak to the Stone Alchemist (The Stone Roots) at the sanctuary who will tell you about the Woodswraiths's connection with the Woods. If you took oath at the altar, you will now be able to transmutate weapons by speaking to the Stone Alchemist. See the Transmutation page for more information.
After you are done healing, head out to the left and back up ladder and up from the stairs above the Bloated Monstrosity to reach the boss. The Mad Alchemist will spawn adds (Poison Cytoplasm) to distract and poison you. However, this boss is easily staggered and the best strategy is to corner him and take him down fast. For more tips and strategies on defeating this boss, see The Mad Alchemist page.
After defeating the boss, head left and jump across the 2 platforms to collect the Mossy Key, which allows you to unlock the next area. Before that, after you climb down the ladder that led to the boss, drop off the ledge to the right. There is a chest containing Leather Armor set. Then make your way back to the Sanctuary right below where the chest is, and exit from it the other side. Unlock the door and continue heading right into a dark cave. A Torch or Lantern Charm will prove useful here. On the ledge below you will find A Soldier's Poem and a Stone Blacksmith. Underneath it are gruesome enemies such as the Retchfeeder. If you want to face the Kraeken Cyclops (this will be Route #1), head left. If you want to skip this boss, head right (this will be Route #2).
Refer to the Sunken Keep walkthrough for more info.

Traditional steel pile foundations for offshore turbines will become unsustainable as wind farms move further out to sea. Jan Groot, project manager for MonoBase Wind, discusses how a new type of gravity-based structure offers easy installation and the necessary support for tomorrow's developments
The offshore wind industry is facing a dilemma: deeper waters and larger turbines offer a clear path to increased energy production, yet the piles typically used as foundations are not viable past a certain size.
"The steel piles used at the moment have a diameter of around 6m, which is already enormous, but there are plans to expand this to 9m," says Jan Groot, project manager at MonoBase Wind.
"As we move towards deeper water, this is going to become a major problem. You'll end up using foundation parts that are so huge, and therefore so expensive, that you reach a technical limit."
Current pile foundations are only financially viable in water depths of 30m or less. Beyond this, gravity-based structures (GBSs) are the only possible solution.
GBSs, however, are notoriously tough to put in place. Stability during installation and towing is the main challenge, with current practices requiring a range of expensive equipment, including tugboats and jack-up barges with large cranes.
"There is also a long list of complicated steps you have to go through to complete the foundation: transition pieces, grouting, the central column and then the turbine. Doing all that while you're offshore can be very difficult indeed," says Groot.
Many of these challenges are the result of poor design planning. All too often, engineers focus on how the structure will perform once it is in place, rather than considering the installation process itself.
MonoBase Wind - a partnership between Orca Offshore, PBConsultants and Venture Counsels - has developed a new form of GBS that overcomes these challenges. By splitting the system into a tower and a slideable doughnut-shaped base that can float during the transportation phase, it eliminates the need for jack-up barges or other expensive lifting equipment, requiring only three tugboats.
"The floating doughnut keeps everything stable during the transport phase. When you go down with the monopile, it stays up, keeping everything steady," Groot explains. "It's only once the central column is anchored to the sea floor that the doughnut goes down, and it does this automatically - it's totally hands-free."
The MonoBase design also allows installation of the turbine into the base onshore. Not only does this make the entire process far simpler, but it also minimises downtime due to poor weather conditions. The foundation is fabricated from concrete or steel, or a mixture of the two. Decommissioning costs are low, and nothing is left behind. "As far as we know, it's really the only GBS that has a technically feasible installation method," says Groot.
Designed for water depths of 30m or more and 5MW+ wind turbines, the MonoBase is geared more towards a future - rather than the existing - offshore market. Groot, however, is confident that demand will grow.
"Even if you just search on the internet, there are dozens of projects in water depths of well over 30m," he says. "There is no question over whether or not this technology will be needed; the only issue is when. We estimate around 2017."
Despite Groot's confidence, the partnership is not aiming to become a large manufacturer of the MonoBase product. Rather, it plans to supply design and installation knowledge, letting a bigger construction firm get on with the actual building process.
"All three of the MonoBase Wind partners worked in the oil and gas sector for Heerema - the biggest heavy-lifting company in the world," says Groot. "Having worked there for 25 years, we have a distinct advantage over the many onshore builders who are just trying to move onshore technology to an offshore environment. We have a much stronger knowledge base."
Already designed and patented, the MonoBase product is now in what Groot describes as the "studying phase". Computer analysis has been carried out, and, in October, two weeks of model testing will begin at the Marin facility in the Netherlands.
"There are so many places that lack offshore installation equipment like jack-up barges. I know of some sites in the US that aren't going ahead simply because of this problem," says Groot. "But, with MonoBase, you just need a construction yard to build the GBS, and then the tugboats to install them.
"It's certainly not limited to the North Sea or any other area. This is a concept that can be applied worldwide."
The MonobaseWind gravity base has been designed to offer a cost-effective and versatile foundation system for offshore wind turbines. The main feature of the system is an innovative installation system to transport the foundation with the wind turbine in one operation to the installation site and to install it on the seabed.
The MonoBaseWind has been developed by Orca Offshore and Naval Dynamics. Both companies have a track record in renewable energy and offshore installation technology.
ORCA Offshore has done several conceptual designs based on experience with various oil and gas offshore platforms. Several numerical studies have been performed to analyse the dynamic behaviour of the system during transport and installation. Design studies covered the following issues:
The MonoBase can be constructed from concrete, steel or a combination of the two. The choice of the building material depends on the project requirements and on the availability of the materials. The design can be adjusted to meet local content requirements and restrictions regarding existing fabrication facilities.
The base structure could be a simple steel structure based on standard shipbuilding technology. This will make it possible to mass produce these units at any shipbuilding yard around the world. Transportation to the assembly site close to the installation site could be done with a heavy transport vessel.
The tow to the installation site will be done floating on the buoyancy inside the tower and the base with the turbine pre-installed on the foundation. Typical draft will be around 10m, which makes the MonoBaseWind suitable for most large harbours. The floating MonoBase is not very sensitive to normal waves and is even capable of handling storm conditions with waves up to six metres (significant wave height). Due to the nature of the design, motions will be limited and acceleration loads on the nacelle will be very low.
At the installation site the MonoBase will be installed by lowering the unit to the seabed using ballast water. The Monobase comprises two concentric buoyancy elements that can be ballasted down subsequently. This will ensure the stability and control over the unit, and will also reduce the motions of the system due to waves during set down.
To install, the MonoBase will be connected to three tugs that will control the position of the foundation; a fourth vessel is required to control the lowering and set down. This will be done with an umbilical connecting the ballast system of the Monobase to a control unit on the vessel. Also from the vessel an observation vehicle (ROV) with an underwater camera will be deployed to have full control over the operation.
In general, bottom preparations are not required (the foundation system of the MonoBase will accommodate normal seabed unevenness) while the combination of on-bottom weight and skirts under the base will be designed to suit the strength of the soil.
After installation of the MonoBase, hook-up of the power cable can be done by utilising a pre-installed J-Tube in the Base or tower. It may also be necessary to install a scour protection system around the base. A system is available pre-attached to the base, which can be installed using a work-class ROV only.
The recovery after the service life of the unit can be done by reverse installation. This will require de-ballasting of the compartments, which can be done using compressed air or submerged ballast pumps. After recovery of the MonoBase, nothing is left behind, a major advantage of the system with regard to the environmental impact issues.
The potential cost savings of this system compared to other foundation systems include:
The fabrication, transport, installation and recovery covering the full live span of the system have been reviewed for environmental impact. The main observations are:

Morning everyone. Well, it's gameday. Today the Titans come to San Francisco to lose... I mean play the 49eers in what should be a slaughter... I mean good game. Still, I'm excited, though kind of in a hurry considering I have to rise very early so I can make the two and a half hour drive to SF and get there early enough to pull out the BBQ, table, ice chest and of course the laptop for parking-lot tracking of the other games. So I'll make my introduction rather sort. Oddly enough, right this very second is the first I've thought about the game in the past 24 hours, I've been too excited for Strikeforce. Well my two guys won, though I'm not nearly as passionate for MMA as I am my 49ers--I sincerely hope the streak continues for my favorites with a Niners victory today. Without further ado (again, I will somehow ban anybody who tells me it is adieu instead of ado) here's your links. Oh, and GO NINERS!!!
Titans RB Chris Johnson is the biggest threat to the 49ers today--he should be a challenge, he's not exactly the same type of back as the team has faced this season. Still, I figure we got him. (SacBee.com)
The 49ers offensive line continues to shuffle. I'm seriously so surprised how this season went as far as the o-line goes. The second Marvel Smith retired I just got this gut feeling that the line would not be a good one this season. I was right. (MercuryNews.com)
Alex Smith is returning to the Candlestick spotlight--and I'll be there to cheer him on. Yes, I've been heavily opposed to Alex Smith for a couple years but if he's the starting QB then he's my favorite QB on the roster. I'm not a fan of "root for the backup." (PressDemocrat.com)
This game isn't a must-win, but it's real close. (PressDemocrat.com)
A good preview article from the Chronicle with many notes, odds and opinions. (SFGate.com)
TE Delanie Walker is ready to bust out. I've always liked Walker... as a side note, does anybody else absolutely hate the new look of Maiocco's blog? He's probably my favorite beat writer but Christ almighty I can't stand his new layout. (PressDemocrat.com)
The team remains upbeat regardless of three straight losses. This is key, I fully would expect this team to rollover today if we still had Nolan as our coach--but under Singletary I find myself optimistic as well. (SFGate.com)
Be sure to check out the NFL Game Center for tracking the game today as well as a preview before it and a wrap-up afterwards. (NFL.com)
Be sure to watch Gameday Morning to see a video of Vernon Davis' workout routine. This is obviously for the ladies. (MercuryNews.com)
As stated before, ex NFL QB Rich Gannon thinks the 49ers are on the right track. (SFGate.com)
Why not check out the blog for the opposition and read their preview of today's game. (MusicCityMiracles.com)
And here's one last preview to round out the links. (Examiner.com)

HR marketing is a whole science of personnel management. This concept considers the interaction of employees who enter into market relations with customers. This management model is very effective. Using HR marketing at the enterprise, it will be possible to increase the efficiency of the staff, its productivity, as well as increase sales several times.
Main principles – Digital Agency London
In foreign practice it is customary to divide the basic principles into two categories:
- First one. Staff is considered as potential customers of the organization. The main purpose of this method is to use frames with maximum efficiency. To achieve the goal, it is customary to create harmonious and favorable working conditions. It is important to develop in each employee a loyal attitude to his own enterprise. This approach can be rephrased as follows: this is a kind of "sale" of the company to its own employees. This concept differs from the usual and standard forms of marketing in that it is based on market thinking.
- Second. This method allows you to approach employees from a more thoughtful point of view. This function identifies the needs of the enterprise and then satisfies them in terms of staffing.
HR marketing provides for the maximum consideration of the requirements and inquiries of company employees. This approach allows attracting highly professional experts from various fields of activity. Competent HR marketing will certainly bring benefits to the enterprise, increase its profit.
Human resource management is a science. The organization of personnel marketing includes the interaction of employees entering into market relations with customers. This model allows you to improve the performance of staff and increases sales by several times.
The use of HR marketing involves taking into account the needs of employees. This allows you to attract qualified professionals from various fields. The company HR marketing is implemented in several ways. The information aspect involves the study of information in order to simplify. The communication aspect refers to the universal, that is, specialists interact at different levels.
The recognition of the enterprise will depend on the work of managers who monitor the process, who:
- contact with the media, employment services;
- prepare contracts;
- develop an estimate.
The most popular way to select staff is to conduct an interview. The correct organization of this moment will allow you to quickly find the right employee without losing quality characteristics.
The main functions of HR marketing
In a narrow sense, HR marketing can be considered by its main functions. These include:
- Identification of the needs of applicants;
- Creation of a database of potential employees;
- Impact on the opinion of the candidate about the organization, "sale" of the company;
- Segmentation of the labor market, a harmonious search for motivational methods on an individual basis for each.
HR marketing sets itself the main task: to provide the enterprise with the most experienced human resources as efficiently as possible. Of course, the main provisions of this strategy in no way contradict other types of marketing, but rather – facilitate the interaction between them.
The HR manager has one goal – to sell a job in the labor market, thereby bringing benefits to the enterprise. The main thing to remember is that a properly selected employee, a harmonious atmosphere in the team, work for the result – will increase the company's profit, and accordingly – your income.
HR planning covers three consecutive stages:
- The information phase.
At this stage, the collection of statistical data and other necessary information, its processing and analysis of the personnel situation in the region, as well as the most likely options for its development in the future, are carried out.
- The stage of development of a draft personnel plan.
An analysis of personnel situations and their development prospects creates the basis for the development of alternative options. At this stage, research is being carried out on alternative projects of the personnel plan and their impact on the achievement of the organization's goals in the municipality.
The results of the analysis of human resources should indicate what needs to be clarified or changed in the personnel policy of organizations in the municipality in the conditions of market relations. The role of HR marketing is to achieve such a state of development of organizations that they will have the right amount of staff of the right profile at the right time and acceptable cost for the organization.
- The decision-making phase.
That is the approval of one of the most reasonable options for the plan as a mandatory guide for the organization. The main problem in the activities of the modern personnel service is that while the personnel services will not be engaged in the development of organizations as a whole, they are assigned the role of a recruiting agency with a poorly representing customer.

Kim's Review:
What a great anthology! Blumhouse is doing pretty well with their publishing … now if we can just get them that consistent with their movies! I loved all but one of these short stories. I was also distracted while reading that one story so I can't really say it wasn't my own fault. But the piece de resistance is the story of Bad Agatha; I loved it so much that I'm being Agatha for Halloween this year!! If they made that story into a movie, I'd watch it without question! Any of these stories would make an amazing horror movie. I highly recommend this anthology to any horror fan without a single reservation. Perfect for Halloween!
Well done, Blumhouse, well done!!

#Diverseathon2021: November's Host and Prompt
This post is a couple of days early, but it's time to talk about November's host and prompt for Diversathon: The host is ME!!! It's finally my turn! At the beginning of the year when Diverseathon was announced November seemed so far away, and now it is almost here…
For November the prompt is: A book set in Iran.
November's host: Me: I will host here and also on my Facebook page and Instagram.
**I will be having a giveaway: A $20 e-gift card to the bookstore of your choice. All you have to do is read a book set in Iran and share what you thought about it on social media. **Be sure to tag me in some way so I see it!** Previous Diverseathon hosts are welcome to join in on this giveaway. This giveaway will last for the entire month of November with the winner being announced on my Instagram.
What am I reading for November for #Diverseathon2021? It will be two very different type of books:
-The Stoning of Soraya M: A True Story by Freidoune Sahebjam
-Lost Boys by Darcey Rosenblatt
Book Description:
Soraya M.'s husband, Ghorban-Ali, couldn't afford to marry another woman. Rather than returning Soraya's dowry, as custom required before taking a second wife, he plotted with four friends and a counterfeit mullah to dispose of her. Together, they accused Soraya of adultery. Her only crime was cooking for a friend's widowed husband. Exhausted by a lifetime of abuse and hardship, Soraya said nothing, and the makeshift tribunal took her silence as a confession of guilt. They sentenced her to death by stoning: a punishment prohibited by Islam but widely practiced. Day by day sometimes minute by minute Sahebjam deftly recounts these horrendous events, tracing Soraya's life with searing immediacy, from her arranged marriage and the births of her nine children to her husband's increasing cruelty and her horrifying execution, where, by tradition, her father, husband, and sons hurled the first stones.
This is one woman's story, but it stands for the stories of thousands of women who suffered and continue to suffer the same fate. It is a story that must be told.
**This is one I read years ago. The book itself is banned in Iran and there is also a film based off this true story.**
Book Description:
It's 1982, and twelve-year-old Reza has no interest in joining Iran's war effort. But in the wake of a tragedy and at his mother's urging, he decides to enlist, assured by the authorities that he will achieve paradise should he die in service to his country.
War does not bring the glory the boys of Iran have been promised, and Reza soon finds himself held in a prisoner-of-war camp in Iraq, where the guards not only threaten violence—they act upon it.
Will Reza make it out alive? And if he does, will he even have a home to return to?

Book Review: Survive the Night by Riley Sager
Survive the Night
Author: Riley Sager
Published: June 29, 2021
Reviewed By: Jessica
Dates Read: July 16-20, 2021
Jessica's Rating: 5 stars
Book Description:
It's November 1991. George H. W. Bush is in the White House, Nirvana's in the tape deck, and movie-obsessed college student Charlie Jordan is in a car with a man who might be a serial killer.
Josh Baxter, the man behind the wheel, is a virtual stranger to Charlie. They met at the campus ride board, each looking to share the long drive home to Ohio. Both have good reasons for wanting to get away. For Charlie, it's guilt and grief over the murder of her best friend, who became the third victim of the man known as the Campus Killer. For Josh, it's to help care for his sick father. Or so he says. Like the Hitchcock heroine she's named after, Charlie has her doubts. There's something suspicious about Josh, from the holes in his story about his father to how he doesn't seem to want Charlie to see inside the car's trunk. As they travel an empty highway in the dead of night, an increasingly worried Charlie begins to think she's sharing a car with the Campus Killer. Is Josh truly dangerous? Or is Charlie's suspicion merely a figment of her movie-fueled imagination?
What follows is a game of cat-and-mouse played out on night-shrouded roads and in neon-lit parking lots, during an age when the only call for help can be made on a pay phone and in a place where there's nowhere to run. In order to win, Charlie must do one thing–survive the night.
Jessica's Review:
Survive the Night is Riley Sager's fifth novel and a first for me, and I cannot wait to read the rest of his!
At first when I realized that Charlie was going to be an unreliable narrator, I rolled my eyes because most of the time those novels do not work for me, but then something occurred and I was 1000% pulled in and absolutely had to know what was going to happen!
Survive the Night is a very fast paced novel that takes place just overnight on a long and tedious drive. Nothing is as it seems… Or is it? Who or what should the reader believe???
Again, Charlie is our very unreliable narrator and a bit obtuse. If you are thinking your life is in danger, and you had several opportunities to get away, why not do it?!?!? The way Charlie is unreliable is a different type of narrator, so I did welcome this versus the typical unreliable narrator who is an alcoholic.
For many reasons, this story would not be able to take place today, so Sager set it in 1991, which was perfect: There are references to this time period including Nirvana's Come As You Are (which is referenced multiple times for a reason) and also phone booths!!
I had convinced myself that I figured out the ending, and I can say I am very glad I that I was wrong!! It was an ending I would not have been happy with and I really enjoyed the many twists that just kept coming.
I am ready to read more of Sager's novels (which I have three of his four others) and see what else he can write!
Survive the Night is definitely recommended for thriller lovers!!!
Review Update:
I wrote these reviews as I listened to the novels by Riley Sager which were out of order over several months. Now that I have listened to them all, my order of preference of the books are:
-Lock Every Door
-Survive the Night
-Home Before Dark
-The Last Time I Lied
-Final Girls

This site is all about transportation, having featured entries on trucks, taxis, buses and fire apparatus from time to time. Let us make very clear that at JDOW, we also venerate railroading. As a mode of transportation, and a force of economic development, it transformed the American society and landscape like no other innovation since Daimler, Benz, Ford and Olds got busy. Trains are powerful, shake the ground when they roll past, are a hugely efficient (and environmentally sound) means of moving goods and are just plain cool. If it runs on rails, we're down with it. So is our good friend Robert Kelly, who lives in Monmouth County, New Jersey, and has done a lot to get eyeballs on this site. Today, we're putting eyeballs on his. Read on.
In addition to good food and great music, New Jersey has a rich railroading heritage, led by the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey, which eventually became a component of the ill-starred Penn Central and later, Conrail. Robert designs and produces T-shirts that celebrate CNJ's heritage in the Garden State, especially as its concerns his native Jersey City. At his website, Trains to Go, you can peruse quality Gildan shirts with durably printed graphics on New Jersey rail heritage. Mine recalls the Mermaid, the CNJ passenger train that ran from Bayonne to Point Pleasant through 1974. Just the ticket for railfanning at the old Florida East Coast freight station along its hotshot intermodal line through Port Orange.

Why This Recipe Works
- Broiling the tomatillos enhances their sweetness and adds a smoky, charred flavor to the salsa.
- Pouring the salsa into hot oil intensifies its flavor.
- Fresh and cooked cilantro contributes to the final salsa.
This is my favorite salsa, hands down, and that's coming from someone who loves salsa. Smoky, spicy, sweet, bright, and complex, this is the one salsa to rule them all. If there were a Mexican restaurant on my desert island, this is the salsa they'd put down on the table before you even ask for it. The fact that it only has four real ingredients, you can make it in 20 minutes, and it requires pretty much no knife work or clean up is just the icing on the cake (or the salsa on the taco, maybe).
Salsa verde reaches way back into one of my earliest food memories: sitting with my dad on the back porch of a family friend's house in Cape Cod, my dad shucking the Littleneck clams we'd dug up that afternoon, squeezing a little bit of lime on them, and adding a spoonful of hot salsa verde before slurping them back raw. It was the first time I remember eating raw seafood and, more importantly, the first time I felt the electric adrenaline jolt I get when I eat spicy foods.
Years later, I learned how to make a basic boiled salsa verde from the Mexican prep cook at a restaurant where I used to work. It was a good sauce; brightly acidic with a nice, clean flavor. But that salsa's got nothing on the smoky complexity of a charred salsa verde.
I honestly can't remember where I first picked up on the charred stuff, but I do know that I used to make it in a cast iron pan, placing tomatillos, onions, and chiles in the dry pan and cooking them on the stovetop until soft and nearly blackened. It was an effective method for flavor development, but it also smoked up the apartment and inevitably created a burnt-on layer of crud in the cast iron pan that was difficult to remove (even in a perfectly seasoned one). These days, I do things the easier way: in the oven or toaster oven. I split a bunch of tomatillos in half (splitting them in half means you don't have to worry about flipping them during cooking—they'll soften up as they char) along with a white onion and a few chiles, place them on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, and stick them under a preheated broiler.
The key here is to get them really deeply charred. Flecks of black, burnt tomatillo skin are delicious in the finished salsa. As the tomatillos cook down under the broiler, they'll also start to release liquid that will caramelize and turn sticky, like honey. Stick your finger in this and lick it. That's a quick preview of what's coming.
Next I blend all the vegetables (with the collected juices in the foil liner), along with a handful of cilantro. On days when I've got a little extra time, I'll finish making the salsa in a granite molcajete, pounding the vegetables into a pulpy purée. If you're making a salsa (or guacamole) that has raw vegetables, using a molcajete makes a huge difference in flavor in the finished dish, delivering more intensity and even distribution of flavors. For cooked vegetables, I haven't noticed as much of a difference.
If you've got a hand blender, now's the time to break it out (a regular food processor or blender will also work). Once the salsa is blended to just the texture you like it, give it a taste. Tomatillos are naturally bright and acidic so you probably don't need an external acid source like lime or vinegar. Because they're also high in pectin, your salsa should have a nice chip-coating texture, not thin or watery.
But just wait—it gets better.
In his classic Authentic Mexican, Rick Bayless has a recipe for salsa verde in which boiled-then-puréed tomatillos, onions, and chiles are poured into a smoking hot pan in order to give them some of those complex flavors you only develop through high-heat cooking. I wondered what would happen if I combined the charring technique with the smoking hot pan technique.
I heated some oil in a medium saucepan and once it was shimmering hot, I poured in my salsa all at once. This is important. Pour your salsa slowly (as you may be inclined to do out of fear of the hot oil), and you wind up with oil splatters all over your stovetop and most likely your arms as well. Pour the salsa fast and the oil splatter is contained underneath it. Once the salsa was in, I immediately started stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent it from bubbling and spattering too hard.
After a few minutes of cooking like this, the salsa had become even more intense in flavor. Score.
Once cooked down, all it needs is some salt to season it, along with some more fresh chopped cilantro.
The salsa will last for about a week in the fridge. Actually, that's a lie. There's no way it's going to survive a whole week without being eaten. I like to eat it with fried eggs in the morning, or to dip a quesadilla into in the afternoon. It's fabulous on enchiladas, burritos, and tacos.
And of course, it goes great on raw clams (back porches, Cape Cod, and dads optional).

Recipe Details
Charred Salsa Verde Recipe
Smoky, spicy, sweet, bright, and complex, this is the one salsa to rule them all.
1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husks removed, split in half (680g; about 10 medium)
1 medium white onion, peeled and split in half (about 6 ounces; 170g)
2 to 4 Serrano or jalapeño chiles (adjust according to spice tolerance, remove seeds and ribs for milder spice), split in half
10 to 15 sprigs cilantro, tough lower stems discarded
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
Adjust oven rack to 4 inches below broiler and preheat broiler to high. Place tomatillos, onion, and chiles on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Broil until darkly charred and blackened on top and tomatillos are completely tender, 6 to 12 minutes.
Transfer vegetables and their juice to a blender, food processor, or the cup of an immersion blender. Add half of cilantro. Blend in pulses until a rough purée is formed.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over high heat until shimmering. Pour salsa into the hot oil all at once (it will steam and sputter). Immediately start stirring and continue to cook, stirring, until salsa is darkened and thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Finely chop remaining cilantro and stir into salsa. Season to taste with salt. Let cool, then serve. Salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Special Equipment
Blender, food processor, or immersion blender
If your tomatillos are exceptionally tart, you can add a bit of sugar, honey, or agave syrup to balance out the flavors.
