In early 2017, Chief Executive Officer Bernardo Chua of ORGANO announced that his company is now a proud member of the Direct Sellers Association of Canada (DSA). "We offer an entrepreneurship opportunity that only the direct selling business model can speak to and have remained focused on upholding exceptional business practices and industry ethics throughout our global markets," said Chua, who knew from the start that having independent representatives sell his company's products was the ideal business model. Read more: Organo Gold Review 2012
As a direct selling veteran, he knew that having distributors explain the benefits of Ganoderma mushroom enhanced organic coffee would not only result in more sales, it would give individuals an opportunity to start their own business.
Currently, ORGANO operates in more than 50 countries and in 2016; over 400,000 independent ORGANO distributors enjoyed the income opportunity the company provides.
Organo's coffees, teas and other Ganoderma-infused products are not sold in retail stores; however, they are available on the company's website for the retail price or from an independent distributor, whose income from ORGANO's compensation plan depends on his or her efforts.
Bernado Chua continuously creates new ways for Organo's distributors to earn more money. In 2015, he started the Preferred Customer Rewards Program, which North American distributors can promote. The program saves customers money if they have coffee auto-shipped to them each month.
Having released the first product in ORGANO's OGX line of nutritional merchandise in 2016, Bernardo Chua is giving the company's independent distributors the U.S. and Canada the opportunity to branch out into the weight management sector. OGX FENIX, a whey protein drink with Ganoderma, is the first of ORGANO's weight management products.
According to PR News Wire, Bernardo Chua, along with Shane Morand and Holton Buggs Jr., established the OG Cares Foundation to support, motivate and mentor at-risk youth.
The foundation's latest projects include the OG Cares Children's Resource Center in India, which serves mentally handicapped children and donating food to the House of Mercy Children's Home in Nigeria.

My Sister Wants To Get Matching Tattoos
I have two tattoos. My sister Kellee has none. She has never been a tattoo person and now all of sudden she not only wants to get a tattoo but she wants me to get a matching tat. Check out the examples she sent me.
Tattoos are addicting. You get one and you are instantly thinking about the next one. I have resisted that urge for the last 12 years. My sister has never had any desire to get a tattoo and then she saw this article and suddenly she wants to get tatt'd up and she wants to make sure the tats are matching sister tattoos! The only one on this list I would consider is some form of 16. Hey Kellee, why don't you just get a 4 leaf clover on your right ankle and we'll call it good?

Perform On Line Transformer Oil Filtering Treatment On Energized Transformer
Filtration of transformer oil is a part of conditioning, which is essential if user expects reliable performance and durability of transformer machine. One should understand that transformer oil must be free from gases, moisture, and particles that contaminate the oil and make it unfit for the machine. On line transformer oil filtration process can help in getting pure transformer oil, which is free from contaminants and gases and ultimately, healthy for transformer and its components! Your transformer performance is highly dependent on the quality of the oil you use for it. Good quality of oil will make other components working well without any barrier.
Transformers repairing of transformer delivers great output when conducted in high ambient air humidity environment. Moreover, it is high grade of transmission network use. Because transmission companies and rule power generation organizations are unable to afford to cut energy supply for their clients, they perform on line transformer oil purification whenever required. Energizing and de-energizing of transformers results in profits and losses for their clients. It may require time to energize or de-energize that result in production process shutdown.
For short time period, Transformers manufacturers India must be disconnected from the power grid, so that it could install transformer oil purifying plant. The oil hoses need to be connected from inlet (or outlet) of the plant to transformer lower (or upper) flange. Once the installation of purifier is done, you can reconnect the transformer with power grid. You must use and install special sensors to prevent conservator oil level drop while purification process. You may also install other specialized devices on the transformer inside the oil treating plant for safety reasons. Once the work of energizing gets completed, you must disconnect the transformer from grid again to close connection of oil purifying plant.
Things You Need To Do Prior Operating Energized Transformers:
- Conduct complete DGA test (Dissolved Gas Analysis)
- Complete oil test should be done after DGA.
- Safe accessibility to transformer
- Precision design of the plant for online job
- Operator must be trained and certified for conducting energized work
- Plant needs to be earthed to the transformer
- The plant should have clean dry oil before you connect to the transformer
- Open inlet and outlet valves to drain free water and sludge
- Shut down heaters prior shutting down the plant
- Shut down the plant, disconnect power supply and hoses, and close the valves.
On line transformer oil filtration process is complex and one needs a professional to conduct it in proficient manner.

Possessing the unique quality of being hilarious, frustrating and slightly upsetting in equal measure is no mean feat – but one Twitter feed has managed it.
OCD Nightmares posts pictures of things that are otherwise perfect except for one small, but certainly not insignificant, thing.
Tweets include one paving slab facing a different direction to the rest, a twisted seat belt, and a pack of Tic Tacs that are all white except for one rogue blue one mid-way down.
However some corners may argue that by naming the feed OCD Nightmares, the creator could be accused of trivialising the illness – though the poster's self-deprecating tone suggests they are intending to mock their own love of order.
Professor German Barrios, a professor at the University of Cambridge, argues that the term 'OCD' – short for obsessive-compulsive disorder – is now a part of the English lexicon, used as an informal synonym for being perfectionist or meticulous.
Only this week however, Paperchase were forced to remove a hand sanitiser with the brand name 'OCD' following criticism that it made light of the anxiety disorder.
'I feel the notion we should be able to just 'laugh off' this product is incorrect,' Emily Davis, who suffers from OCD, told the MailOnline on Friday.

Excerpt from Elder Organ's March 18, 2013 previously posted letter:
"We all slept over because Saturday morning we all woke up and went to do a service project. Their service project was going to this lady's farm on the outskirts of Kalispell and help in the big all-day event of SHEEP SHEERING!
It was sooooo awesome!
We got to man handle the sheep and take their "coats" off which protect their wool, then we would take them to the sheep sheerer who would shave the sheep's wool off so fast, it was so cool to see how it all works. Then we would take the sheep from him and put on another smaller coat to protect the next years growth of wool.
I hope that all makes sense.
I will get pictures sent home and then they will get up on the blog so it will all make more sense and ya'll can see me in action! It was such a blast and felt so great to help this amazing woman out with her sheep!"
Here they are!!!
|On the farm ya'll!
|YES! Lips to Lips! Ha ha!
|I had a blast!
|This is Dudley the Ram!
|Head to head with Dudley the Ram! BOOM!
|Sheep farm, BAAAAH!
|Sheep sheering!
|Me taking the coat off a sheep so it can get sheered.
|The barn
|Me, Elder Sagers in the back and my companion Elder Brown, bending over.
|A sheep on the sheering floor.
|Sheep wranglin' at its finest!

Verdict of the "LuxLeaks" appeal trial
PDF version
Press Release
Luxembourg, March 15, 2017
Today, Wednesday March 15, the Appeal Court of Luxembourg delivered its judgment on the "LuxLeaks" appeal trial: Antoine Deltour is sentenced to a suspended 6-month jail sentence and a fine of 1,500 €. Raphaël Halet is sentenced to a fine of 1,000 €. The journalist Édouard Perrin is acquitted.
For the first time, a European national judge recognizes the legitimacy of violating the professional secrecy for the general interest. It is an unquestionable moral victory.
However, this decision from the Luxembourgish justice confirming its previous decision, although with a reduced sentence, still presents a disturbing contradiction: it recognizes the whistleblower's role and the public interest of the revelations but anyhow concludes on a condemnation. Antoine Deltour was a whistleblower when he transmitted the documents to the journalist, but is convicted for their acquisition. Once again, private financial interests seem to take priority over the collective interest and the rights for information.
This sentence is therefore far from the expected change of era in Europe regarding tax issues, whistleblowers' protection and the right of information. Antoine Deltour declares: "This disappointing judgment constitutes an additional argument for going ahead with recent European initiatives towards whistleblowers' protection".
Antoine Deltour will go through the arguments presented in the written judgment before deciding whether or not to go to a possible appeal to the

text: Another diagram from Indexed (thisisindexed.com) that was too perfect not to re-post. I have a lot of content I want to put up here, so keep an eye on this blog for upcoming posts, but for now enjoy the webcomic. Although the "beast" being used here is different from how I use "beast" in my book, I love this diagram for making binaries overlap. Also, the title of the comic is "Feisty in Nature" which I love as well.

Important Note: Papers are due prior to the conference
Please note that all contributions to the ADASS conference proceedings must be provided in draft form by the 3rd of October 2014. See below for details.
The Proceedings of the ADASS XXIV meeting will be published by The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), and an electronic copy is included as part of the registration fee.
To ensure prompt publication of the Proceedings, please submit your paper by the deadline, midnight (end of day) MST the 3rd of October 2014 and follow the instructions below. A period of 3 weeks after the end of the conference is provided for updating the papers (deadline 31 October 2014). You may contact the LOC if you have questions regarding your manuscript publication (email@example.com). The Proceedings will be published electronically.
UPDATE Wednesday, Oct 1: New deadline for Poster Abstracts (dependent on floor space)
Page Limitations
Invited Oral Papers: 10 pages
Contributed Oral Papers: 4 pages
Poster Papers: 4 pages
Demos: 4 pages
Focus Demos: 4 pages
BoFs: 4 pages
Manuscript Instructions
The ASP has created helpful instructions for authors, which are included as Part I of the document Instructions for Authors and Editors that may be downloaded from the ASP website.
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (the publisher) has completely revised their Instructions for Authors and LaTeX style files as of 2010. Authors must submit their manuscripts in LaTeX and use the latest LaTeX style file for their submissions. Manuscripts that use earlier versions of the LaTeX style file will be rejected.
The LaTeX style file* can be downloaded directly from ASP. The corresponding asp2010.bst file can be downloaded here. You may find it more convenient to download a tar file that contains the style file, together with a template manuscript LaTeX file (aspauthor.tex) that can be used as a staring point for developing your manuscript, and a BibTeX example for managing references.
* Some authors have reported difficulty using the LaTeX style file because it references two packages that may not be present in all TeX distributions. If you receive LaTeX errors indicating that either ofthe files ncccropmark.sty or watermark.sty are not found, you may comment out the appropriate usepackage lines near the beginning of the file asp2010.sty (the two packages are not required for the general author).
Please name the main LaTeX source file according to your designated presentation id, e.g.:
Oral presentation O1.1:
O1-1.tex and O1-1.bib
The designated presentation id's are posted on the Participants page. Figures (in encapsulated PostScript format) should be named <paper_ID>_fn.eps where n is the figure number, e.g. P030_f1.eps.
Figures in Manuscripts
Authors are encouraged to submit color figures with their manuscripts. All figures should be submitted in encapsulated PostScript (eps) format. If this is not possible, please contact the editors for alternative instructions. Fonts included in figures should be embedded in the encapsulated PostScript output. Color figures should preferably be submitted as CMYK composites. Figures submitted as RGB composites will be accepted, but will be converted to CMYK and may experience some colorshifts during the conversion.
Figures should be cropped to remove any unnecessary white space, and should be created or scaled to the size intended for print, and oriented correctly. Please ensure that any included line art or text (such as annotations) is legible when the figure is shrunk to 90% of the intended print size. Lines should not be defined as hairline width; the recommended minimum line width at the intended print size is 0.25pt.
Figures need to have a MINIMUM resolution of 240 pixels per inch (95 pix/cm) to reproduce satisfactorily. Authors should print out their figures at actual size end and evaluate the readability of any embedded text. If the embedded text appears smaller than about 8 pt, it is not going to be readable in the final printed figure. Text also needs to appear in a constrasting color to be easily legible.
Usage of LaTex commands
Authors should never use \renewcommand or \renewenvironment in their submissions! Each submitted article is actually embedded in a larger LaTeX file for the entire volume. Any redefinitions of commands or parameters will affect all subsequent articles in the volume.
If it is absolutely necessary to redefine a command, authors should create their own version that embeds a label that is unique to their article (e.g., \<author>_itemize and NOT \myitemize). Similar to the above, authors should not use \usepackage except in the most exceptional circumstances. Many packages will interfere with the construction of the volume (in particular, the subfig package performs global redefinitions of some key formatting quantities and must not be used).
Try not to use too many \section or \subsection commands, since these will limit where page breaks can occur.
Ellipses ("...") should never be used as a means of indicating examples. Use "(e.g., a, b, c)" rather than "(a, b, c, ...)".
URLs should be embedded in \url{} Use \url{http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/} rather than {\tt http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/}.
Footnotes are added in general after the corresponding punctuation "... like this,\footnote{see here} ..." rather than "... like this\footnote{see here}, ..."
Referencing Papers in the Current Proceedings
Please use the following BibTeX entry template for defining references to papers that will be included in the current volume:
For the <ident> element, please use the presentation id (e.g., O1.1, P097, etc.) that can be obtained from the program (oral) and are posted on the Participants page (oral, posters, demos and BoFs). The <authors> element should list the authors of the paper being referenced.
For example,
= "Lewis,~J.",
Authors should use a common entry format, like the ADS references. Authors should only include references that are cited in the text. Use \citep and \citet rather than \cite.
The standard practice is that for 8 authors or less, all authors should be included in the reference. For 9 authors or more, only the first author is listed followed by et al. This is done by specifying author = {{Author}, A.~N. and others} in the BibTeX file, which will produce Author, A. N., et al. in the completed volume.
It is never correct to list more than one author followed by et al. You should never have an entry like author = {{Author}, A.~N. and {Coauthor}, B.~M. and others} in the BibTeX file.
Uploading Your Completed Manuscript
Once you have finished your manuscript and completed the "Author's Final Checklist" in Part I of the ASP "Instructions for Authors and Editors" document referenced above, you need to upload your submission. This can be done via the Paper Upload Form.
This form allows you to upload each of the input files separately in a single submission. Thus, it is not necessary to bundle your files (e.g. as a tar file).
Note that with this form you can upload your paper files multiple times as revisions are needed. In particular, you will have a chance to upload revisions up until 3 weeks after the end of the conference (deadline 31 October 2014). Note, that we may preserve all versions in case of technical difficulties.
If you experience difficulties in uploading the file, please contact the LOC (firstname.lastname@example.com) and send the tar file or article as attachment.
Copyright Policies and Copyright Release Form
Authors must conform to the copyright policies of the publisher! If you use an image/drawing/photo etc. that has been published previously, belongs to someone else, or has been used elsewhere, please read and comply with the requirements of section 2.1 of author information.
All authors must complete the ASP copyright agreement, and the form must be returned to the proceedings editors before your paper can be accepted for publication!
UPDATE Wednesday, Oct 1: New deadline for Poster Abstracts (dependent on floor space)
You should have received the preprinted copyright agreement form to sign at the registration desk. If you did not complete a copyright form at the meeting, please retrieve the form (doc or pdf), fill it out and email a PDF scan of the form to the LOC (email@example.com).

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!
I had dropped this half way through before the melodrama began. Kind of glad I finished it evne if the ending was completely unsatisfactory. It was an okay way to pass the time. The whole premise was tiring. Rikka's shtick got old quickly and then when she did lose it, we got into the drama episodes and that wasn't really a good time for anybody. The only sad thing about all that was that Rikka's personality and self depended on acting like a crazy.
One of the best things about the show was the side characters. Nibutani was my favourite by far. I would have said Touka was but she got involved with the drama and it dampened her character. Dekomori was pretty annoying but she was so cute in the last episode when she was acting like a normal person. Unfortunately she had to go back.
Kumin was another great character but the last episode was really disappointing for her. It seemed obvious she would be the one to influence Yuuta and be the most wise and mature about things. Unfortunately, it really seemed to clash with her character. I'm also disappointed there was no conclusion to Yuuta's friend and her relationship. I mean, I did like seeing the rest of the club to their rescue but the whole thing felt so unrealistic. Though a lot of things were played up for drama so complaining about things being realistic in this show is a little absurd.
The fight scenes were kind of cool, the side characters were far, far better than Rikka (cute though she may be sometimes) and if this wasn't by KyoAni I doubt we'd even remember it at all.
Kamisama Kiss
Oh Kamisama Kiss. Maid-sama left a hole in my heart no other could fill. You came pretty close. I'm not going to lie because I like the show. It was cliche as heck. Nanami was really likable though so that made the scenes that had been done one million times before a little more bearable. Misaki from KwM was more interesting though.
The show was a lot funnier than I expected. Mostly thanks to side characters. I was surprised that Kurama became one of my, if not 1st, favourite character. Not only did his theme get me every time but he had a lot more tact than I would have expected.
Also, aquatic designs. Unf.
I liked Jormungand. It was fun. Up until the last few episodes, anyways. The plot started happening and while that could have worked out, it just really didn't. Jonah left at the end of episode 23 and it was supposed to be important that he returned? They blew that scene up a lot. I mean, yeah, it took two years in the show (and Valemt getting her hair back and Koko cutting hers off was such a nice trade off) but there was no real impact on me. Considering I liked all the characters, I guess that kind of says something.
I get that they couldn't show the aftermath of Jormungand but I think that they would be just so big and catastrophic that leaving it at where it ended kind of sucks. There's just so much to leave up to your imagination. Everything leads up to Jormungand but we don't find out what happens. I'm happy Kasper pointed out that Koko was crazy for thinking her plan would work. I still think it would only bring about more violence and fighting. Which would have been interesting to see.
So I did like Jormungand a lot as it progressed and was just deal of the week type thing. Near the end though the show dragged. The ending left a lot to be desired and put a damper on how I remember the series.

Binary 100 SimplifiedBinary is the essence of all of existence. Everything can be divided down to the simplest form of computing, which is by using binary. Black and white, yes and no, true or false, good or evil are all examples of binary in action. But what about in computers? In computers, all programs are written using some other machine language that ultimately relies on some form of binary input. That is to say, binary is the primary building block of all other programming languages. Another language, which we can study later, is hexadecimal.
Just like binary, hexadecimal is not actually a language, it is a code of numbers. In the case of binary, the code is either zero or one. That is why it is called binary, because the only options are one of two.
So, in order to build binary code, we are limited to either using a zero or a one. To build a yes or no value is as simple as assigning one to yes and zero to no. In math, that looks like this: y=1 & n=0. In binary, it's even simpler: 0 or 1.
So you must be wondering, what about 2? The olde 1 plus 1. Well, a bit can only contain a single one value. So either a bit is empty, or a bit has a value of 1. So now, we can assign a set of bits either nothing or a 1. Zero is nothing, right? That's simple math.
1 is not-zero or true.
Zero is false, the bit does not have a value. It is false because there is no value assigned. You assign a value by not assigning the true value. That is the essence of binary: true or false.
In math and coding, zero is followed by one, which is followed by 10. In decimal (latin for ten), after nine, you start over back to a one after a zero. Same thing with binary, after one, you start over. In base-3, you start over after 2; so: 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 100, and start over again.
Same thing with binary, only there's only the one by itself. So in essence, we already are familiar with the concept, since we practice it in base-10 everyday by exchanging money in decimal-based denominations.
After 1 is 10, because there is no 2 in binary, only zero and one. After 10, 11, but then no 20, it's straight to 100, and that's our 4.
Interestingly, every power of two is the number of zeroes behind the one. So two squared, or 4, is hundred, eight is two cubed, which are equal to 1000 in binary format. Each bit is combined with seven other bits to form one byte of data. A byte is eight bits. So that was pretty simple. How did things get so complex?
Candy CrushBinary is simple, there is a one and there's a zero. After that it's just more ones and zeros. So how does that apply to a game? Simple, the game was programmed with only 1's and 0's.
Each tile is connected on one side.
If the colors match, assign a 1.
If the colors do not match, then not 1, or zero.
So if a tile has the color blue and a blue tile above, then the game was programmed to assign a value of 1 to the space between them. Now if a blue is nearby, then a zero can become a one by switching the two tiles creating a zero value so that the further tile generates a second one value.
Thus, when two 1's are together, we see visually three tiles connected, but really, the programmer just created a simple equation that if 1 + 1 = 2, you can continue; if not, then it subtracts 1, and you see one less move available in the game.
Any questions? Basically,just ignore the hypnotic colors.
Applying the ruleThe rule is simple, when two colors match, you have a value of 2, right?
Impossible. In binary, there is no two. There is only 1's and 0's. So how did they program a value of 2?
Well, in order to understand how binary can be used to program a game, you must first be able to see the number values associated with the binary values.
Binary Conversions0 = 0
1 = 1
2 = 10
3 = 11
4 = 100
5 = 101
6 = 110
7 = 111
8 = 1000
Okay, that should be enough for us to figure out the coding behind a program such as Candy Crush or Soda Crush. It's not the colored tiles that you pay attention to, it's the value between each pair of tiles.

GoDaddy is returning to the Super Bowl – after sitting out this year – to promote a new product.
While GoDaddy is still finalizing the creative of the spot and hasn't released details on the product, Chief Marketing Officer Barb Rechterman said the campaign will "give a nod to the cultural and commercial power of the internet" through iconic images and humor.
GoDaddy is working with Bullish, a new ad agency from Deutsch vets, on the creative for the 30-second spot, which will run in the first-half of the big game. This comes as GoDaddy will end its relationship with its current agency-of-record TBWA/Chiat/Day in 2017.
This will be GoDaddy's 12th Super Bowl commercial.
As part of the spot, GoDaddy will direct viewers to "see more online" in an attempt to get people to visit the company's website during the big game to engage with the new product, a tactic GoDaddy has used in the past.
GoDaddy will use the Super Bowl to launch a series of new creative work focused on product, Ms. Rechterman said.
Once known for its risqué and raunchy commercials, since 2013 GoDaddy has toned down its messaging with a focus on promoting small businesses.
Still, the company managed to stir up controversy with its last Super Bowl spot in 2015. GoDaddy received backlash when it released its intended spot, which depicted a puppy being sold online, ahead of the big game, with people saying it promoted puppy mills. The company decided not to run the spot, replacing it with a much more politically correct, and arguably boring ad, that was created overnight from file footage and narrated by the agency art director who had never done voice-over work.
GoDaddy sat out of Super Bowl 50 for the first time since 2005 to focus its efforts on its global expansion, Ms. Rechterman said. At the time, a company spokesperson also said that GoDaddy was moving toward a more data-driven, targeted marketing.
But plenty has happened over the course of the year.
After selecting TBWA to be its first-ever global agency in November 2015, GoDaddy has decided to end its relationship with the agency in the new year.
And in June, CMO Phil Bienert resigned after just over a year on the job and was replaced by former CMO Ms. Rechterman. Ms. Rechterman had been serving as chief customer officer.

At the central cemetery in Kosovo Polje, in the past few days 56 Serbian gravestones have been destroyed, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced tonight.
They asked the international community to immediately find and punish the perpetrators of this vandalism as well as vandals who broke into a chapel of the church in Bresje village in Kosovo Polje, on Christmas Day. Office of KIM at the same time condemned "an attempt to conceal the truth by the so-called Kosovo government".
|Desecrated Serbian tombstones /Photo Source
"In the past few days it was at the central cemetery in Kosovo Polje that 56 Serbian gravestones were destroyed, not in the village Makarabe as the Kosovo Police said in its report," the statement said. Office reminds UNMIK and OSCE that the tombstones in the Makarabe village were destroyed long ago and that Kosovo police grossly misuses that fact.

This is just another in series of provocations targeting Serbs in the region. It looks like someone hopes that fear and anger that Serbs feel due to the obvious provocation from the Albanians with their monument for KLA terrorists in Presevo and now this, will lead to the escalation of violence. Maybe both sides should ask themselves- Who stands to gain most from this?
I wonder what would the International Comunity do if the situation was reverse... Can you imagine Serbs destroying mosques or desecrating the place where Albanians burried their loved ones and no one in the International Comunity reacting to it? No? Neither can I. As it is, our authorities can't even remove the monument for the KLA terrorists in Presevo due to some stupid bureaucratic mess, so don't worry Albanians, there's no need to come and defend the terroristic legacy of your brothers from KLA. Apparently, anyone can have a monument built in Serbia, no matter how provocative that person or idea is to the local people. It looks like we don't have brothers or legacy to defend, in the eyes of the World. Or should I say, we're damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Gossip in the GraveyardSaturday, June 8, 2019
For the past twelve years, we have been involved in staging a historical tour of the Brandon Cemetery. Many people don't fully realize the number of famous (and infamous) people buried there. It is our intention to educate participants through entertainment to raise money for a local charity. Local actors of Assiniboine Theatre Company portray the roles of these remarkable 'residents' of the cemetery, and share personal biographical details with participants. This "lively" two hour interactive walking tour provides an opportunity for visitors to take a step back in time and to "meet" the colourful and inspiring individuals who have helped in shaping the Brandon we know today. The characters of Brandon's past literally come alive to tell their tales and offer some juicy bits of gossip to those plucky participants who venture through their hallowed resting grounds. 100% of the proceeds are donated to a local charity each year and we are proud to have raised close to $25,000 since 2007. This year the proceeds will be donated to HELPING HANDS. DATES & TIMES: Saturday, June 8th, 2019 at 7:00pm & 7:15pm Sunday, June 9th, 2019 at 3:00pm & 3:15pm LOCATION: Brandon Municipal Cemetery TICKET PRICE: $15.00 Please call Kelly at (204)724-2682 to order tickets.

As someone who has helped search marketers build up their in-house search resources for years, you might think that there are never any reasons that I'd recommend using an agency. But you'd be wrong. There are always situations that require a different approach, and in most cases the right answer is a hybrid approach to search. Read on for why you might not want to do everything in house.
Most of you know that I spent eight years at ibm.com, starting and then overseeing their search marketing program for much of that time. And you probably think that IBM is big enough to do everything in house. But we never did.
You might also know that today I serve as chief strategist for Converseon and we sell search services so now I must be this big time outsourcing proponent, right? Well, no.
In reality, it's hard to be a purist about doing things in-house or outsourcing. Most companies (yes, even small ones) eventually realize that they need to do a mix of outsourcing and in-house. If you try to outsource everything, you'll find that the agency you hire can't change your Web pages. They can't decide what keywords you should use. They don't know what products you sell.
But agencies have advantages. They are up on everything going on in search. They have contacts with all the search engines. They can help you understand best practices. They have people that get paid a lot of money--people you probably can't afford in-house.
Everyone thinks that they can hire people that will figure it out for them, but the truth is that once those people get really smart about search marketing, an agency will offer them more money to work for them. If that happens to you, it can be quite painful, at least in the short term.
If you can truly retain those highly-skilled folks, then go for it. You have the advantage that they will learn your business and they will be devoting all of their time to you. But most businesses find that a hybrid approach make sense. Hire an agency to help you with strategy and best practices. But make sure that your in-house folks are ready to implement what the vaunted search consulatnts recommend--they can't do the work without your team.

Explore the world. Explore your soul. Click
to read the latest stories!
Stories have been told about the sea forever. The tales do far more than just inform and entertain us. They embed themselves in our culture. We all know the stories to one degree or another. From Captain Ahab to Captain Jack Sparrow, from Jules Verne to George Lucas, the open ocean builds legends and inspires legendary creativity. The journey outward also takes a man inward. Think about it: Why do people pay a fortune to live on the beach? What's the big deal about a bunch of water? What does the ocean promise us? The human psyche associates some kind of mysticism with the deep blue sea, a belief in the existence of an essential reality beyond typical perception, a different world where the unexpected and even the unimaginable can happen. Out there await clarity, harmony, and the answers we crave. Out there await danger, unknown challenges, and a tasty tickle for our fear factor. And unlike outer space, this frontier is immediately accessible for every man's discovery. Explore the world. Explore your soul.
Deep Sea Gangsters live somewhere between normalcy and fantasy. They don't know it though. They just do what they think they have to do. The sea dictates things to us regular people, lets us know in no uncertain terms just how it's going to be. Gangsters operate the other way around, without regard for what's being offered, but concerned only with what they want. They live their own way, sometimes to their advantage, often to their detriment. They characterize the dynamic oppositions of life: heroic and villainous, crude and sophisticated, resourceful and inept, asinine and genius. For better or worse, their stories make our world more interesting.
Deep Sea Gangsters definitely don't live to entertain, but maybe they should, because some of their exploits will thrill your brain. You've seen The Perfect Storm. You watch Deadliest Catch every week. You have an idea what goes down out there on the high seas. But there's significantly more to the commercial industry than big, bad weather. None of it approaches perfection, and a lot of it is deadlier than anything you've been exposed to yet! Crazy, bizarre, absurd, obscene – the unexpected and, yes, even the unimaginable, come to life in the world of Deep Sea Gangsters.
The Adventure Begins
My assertions, while valid, remain insufficient. And while the commercial fisherman disappears - behind behemoth regulations and restrictions, massive waterfront development, and intense global competition - so does the lore with him. I am on a mission to capture what remains of the fading culture, to explore the places, learn some history, to know the characters and their stories. I will travel the country, working on different boats in different fisheries, attempting to absorb and document as much of the flavor and texture of the industry and lifestyle as I can. I hope to bring depth and insight to the tragedy and triumph of the life at sea, and for the adventure to become its own bountiful story.

Here's how you can start paying Reparations
We all know that the black community has always suffered from oppression and continues to suffer from oppression from the white community. There are so many changes that need to be made in order to start to make some real progress with this very important issue. I have recently stumbled upon an amazing website that can help each white person out there make a tangible impact on the lives of oppressed black people. You can actually start to do something important about your privilege in a convenient way! It's never been easier to start coughing up something in exchange for that good ol' privilege that you enjoy every day.
Check out http://www.reparations.me/ This site allows you to pay reparations to members of the black community and it's very convenient and easy to use. The black community provides requests for funds to help pay for a variety of different things and you can contribute to help them achieve their goals. This is a simple way you can benefit the black community to achieve such things as: massages, a stress reduction class, a little pampering, art supplies, and many more. Why not give back and help these oppressed people get a little pampering?
They even have a troll fund that you can contribute to. Every troll comment on that site is just contributing to these reparations because a dollar will be donated each time. You can help contribute to the troll fund as well to get back at the trolls! After all, trolls hate it when their trolling causes someone to donate more to the cause they're trolling against.
I encourage you to not only visit this site but to contribute as well if you are a white person, and to share this with everyone you know. We can make a change!

Unless you haven't cracked open the App Store or Play Store in the past couple weeks, you've probably noticed the game Flappy Bird sitting at the top of the free games list. If you have a social media account, you've probably also seen high score updates from your friends playing this game as well. It's also probable that you've played this game yourself, since the game has been receiving 2 – 3 million downloads daily according to the developer, Dong Ngyuen. This brings up a pretty valid question, and that is, why on earth is a game as simple as Flappy Bird the most popular game on the entire mobile market?
There are some really impressive games available on the mobile market right now, and a lot of them are free to download. I've been starting to wonder why it is that so many people would choose to play a game that looks like Super Mario World, but doesn't even offer 5% of the content of most free games. A few reasons come to mind, I'm not saying these are the only reasons why Flappy Bird is #1 right now, but it's hard to argue against them being contributors.
It's Actually Free to Play
First of all, there's no in-game store, which is super refreshing in the current era of mobile gaming. If there was an in-game store in Flappy Bird, the entire purpose of the game would be destroyed. The game is very difficult, partially because of the way it was designed, but also because you don't have an annoying pop-up asking you to pay $1.99 to revive where you just died. This provides actual competition between friends, if someone wants to spend a few bucks on a similar game, they can usually get a pretty high score — when they share it with their friends, nobody really cares because it's pretty obvious they just paid for the score.
I know there's differing opinions on the whole subject of in-game stores, but I think Flappy Bird is a prime example of how successful a game can be when it's actually free to play. Plus, it's not like the developers lose much by using ads instead of in-game shops, whenever you have a game that brings in 10 million downloads in a week, you can profit off of that regardless of if it's a free game.
Just one more try…
Besides the fact that it's completely free, that doesn't change how simple the game is, which still left me wondering why it's so popular. I've noticed that games that follow the format of Flappy Bird, where players are just trying to beat the previous high-score, and the games don't last very long, usually have players saying to themselves that they'll "just give it one more shot". There's also the factor where you're trying to beat a friend or family members high score, and eventually you may end up hitting that share button, causing a few of your friends to try beating your high score.

At this point, the game is just advertising itself via Social Media shares, and the developer even stated in an interview he really didn't do anything to advertise this game. If you can get actual players to tell their friends about a game, that is so much more valuable than paying to have your game advertised, and that is so obvious with Flappy Bird. I'm actually curious to know if advertising would have actually hurt the popularity of Flappy Bird, or if it was properly advertised, would it be getting 20 million downloads a week?
Difficult Games are Refreshing
So many games on the mobile market will hold your hand through the actual gameplay, at least through most of the first few levels. Flappy Bird isn't that way, the game is ridiculously difficult, and most casual gamers aren't even going to score 10 points. Some people simply won't even be able to get a Bronze Medal, and that's a common statement when a friend tells another friend about this game, which entices them to try the game out and see if they can get that Bronze Medal to shut their friend up.
Difficult games can be a major no-no for casual gamers, but since Flappy Bird is so simple, it appeals to everyone and nobody is going to be too concerned about difficulty until they actually play the game. Even then, it's still simple, and people think they can get the hang of it with some practice.
One last little thought, Angry Birds was one of the most popular mobile games ever, if not the most popular. Flappy Bird, Angry Birds, clearly there's some subliminal message involved with birds that causes people to download mobile games.
What are your thoughts on Flappy Bird? Is this game just a passing fad, or will it be around for a while? Post your comments below.

After an abundance of rumors and whispers, we now have more concrete evidence of Microsoft's secretive Windows Blue operating system: An honest-to-goodness leak of an early build of the OS. The leak of "Windows Build 9364" appeared on torrent and file sharing sites Sunday morning in the form of a 2.6GB ISO file, and news of the leak blazed across the Net like wildfire after an initial appearance on Windows 9 Beta. Although Microsoft hasn't issued a formal statement about the leak.
This Operating system looks like Windows 8 with some minute changes. Skydrives plays an important role in Windows blue. It has the additional new apps appear on the Windows Blue Start screen: Alarms, Calculate, Sound Recorder, and Movie Moments (its replacement of Windows movie maker). Internet Explorer 11 found in Windows Blue, It's a very early version of Microsoft's next-gen web browser—so much so that, functionally, it's the exact same as Windows 8's Internet Explorer 10. Under the surface, however, lies an intriguing hint of a new feature for the browser.

Revoyr's fourth novel (Southland, 2008, etc.) is a coming-of-age saga in which racism cuts across loyalties between family and friends.
It's the early 1970s, and post-Vietnam social turmoil is unabated. Not yet 10, Michelle LeBeau is left with her paternal grandparents in the blue-collar town of Deerhorn, Wis. Michelle's mother, a native of Japan, had abandoned her husband and daughter several years earlier, and Michelle's unstable, restless and disgruntled father thinks he can convince his wife to return, if he can only find her. Michelle feels abandoned when her father slips away without saying goodbye, but she also dotes on her grandfather, Charlie, a man who despised his son's interracial marriage but treasures the child it produced. He affectionately calls her "Mikey" and discovers that she is a willing participant in all things hunting and fishing that his son avoided. Told from the viewpoint of an adult Michelle, the novel rings with insight about the world of adults, even while it simultaneously portrays young Michelle authentically. Readers hurt when she is bullied, harassed and isolated because she is an exotic mixture of races, and readers understand when she discovers a version of her own troubles in the town's outright hatred of two other Deerhorn newcomers, an African-American couple, the Garretts. These characters—the woman a nurse, the husband a substitute teacher—are somewhat one dimensional, but nevertheless sympathetic and believable. Revoyr also does well in portraying the Garretts' primary nemesis, Earl Watson, "war hero and business leader and upstanding citizen." But Watson lives with a dark, brutal secret. The author is to be applauded for her ability to effectively portray Charlie, a thoroughly complex human being undone by grief when hatred and friendship, loyalty and love collide. As the adult Michelle wonders if "there are sins for which there is no redemption," the melancholy resolution concludes the narrative convincingly.
Gripping and insightful.

Zap2it is handicapping the 20 returning contestants on "Survivor: Heroes vs Villains." The next to go? Candice Woodcock.
We know what you're thinking… who? We've watched every season of "Survivor." Every single episode. We're not sure we can say that about 19 seasons of ANYTHING. And yet when the contestants were announced… we had no idea who Candice Woodcock was.
It turns out Candice is from "Survivor: Cook Islands," the 13th season of the show, which is the one where the contestants were divided up by race (for like two episodes, scandal!). It was also the first season with a final three instead of final two and it was the season that gave us Ozzy, Yul and crazy-blue-eyes Jonathan Penner, three of our favorite male "Survivor" contestants.
Candice was one of two contestants (along with Penner) to "mutiny." They left Aiutaki, the tribe that included the eventual Final Four (Sundra, Ozzy, Becky and Yul) and joined Rarotonga, the tribe that then got their collective butts kicked by the eventual Final Four.
Why do we think Candice is leaving so early? Because she's blah. She's unmemorable. And maybe that will get her far in the game, but we don't think so. This is a season of big guns and after the Heroes win a couple challenges, we think they'll falter in the next one and send a weak link home. Cirie and Sugar will be too well-liked and Stephenie and Amanda will be too strong. So Candice is gone.
Does anybody get the sense that "Survivor" had a hard time filling out all 20 spots with true Heroes or Villains? We think Tina Wesson, Kim Johnson, Neleh Dennis, Jenna Morasca, Lillian Morris, Twila Tanner, Scout Cloud Lee, or any number of other women could have been female Heroes tribe members instead of Candice.

She was fighting with ovarian cancer and died on Saturday. Since 1974 she was a member of the faculty of famed dance school and became the director of the school in the year 1984. She mentored a large number of young dancers and helped in creating a degree program.
The co-workers of Denise Jefferson say that she was truly a very good woman and her spirit will live forever in the school. Judith Jamison, the artistic director of the Ailey school said that they miss her dearly but they are still smiling because she was a part of the Ailey school.
At the age of eight Denise Jefferson started learning ballet in her home city. She earned scholarship to the MGCCD (Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance) and after one year she started her professional career. She was 65 years old. She is survived by her sister, mother and also her daughter. A memorial concert has also been planed by the Ailey Studio for a later date.

My quaker parrot started chewing her feathers in january 2008. I took her to a vet who thought that she was chewing out of frustration for wanting to breed. she has had liver problems, but was doing really well over the summer, she chewed on the feathers on her legs, but was looking good besides that.
She has once again started chewing she has chewed alot off of her chest, some on her wings and legs. I feed her the mazuri pellet and I also feed her scrambled eggs with paprika on them. I also maked muffins with the jiffy mix, I add apple, peanut butter, oats, zucchini, and carrots.
I rotate her toys regularly, and I give her lots of attention. I mist her every other day. I tried using a humidifier last year but it didn't seem to change anything. I am going to try this again, beginning tonight. She is chewing quickly and I am finding little piles of feathers in her cage all of the time. If you could help me in any way I'd appreciate it. I am careful about not having anything toxic around her. I don't know what to do anymore.

Arsene Wenger confident Arsenal star Jack Wilshere can make the World Cup
ARSENE WENGER insists Jack Wilshere WILL be back for the World Cup.
The Arsenal midfielder is facing a race against time to play again this season after being ruled out for at least six weeks with a broken bone in his left foot.
Wenger is certain he will fit, but insists England cannot afford to take a chance with the the talented 22-year-old.
"I am confident he will be fit because the time scale is all right, he can have a great World Cup if all works well"Arsene Wenger
"When you go to a tournament like the World Cup you have to be 100 per cent fit," the Gunner boss said.
"You cannot speculate, unfortunately, for the quarter-finals because you have first to get out of the group stage.
"I am confident he will be fit because the time scale is all right. He can have a great World Cup if all works well.
"He is out for six weeks, we have 11 games until the end of the season and then you have still six weeks before the start of the World Cup.
"That should be perfect.
"He will be back for the last two games but he will be fully fit to play and then you have still England's preparation games."
