The founder, George Draper Dayton, first opened Dayton Dry Goods Company in 1902. By the 1920s the store had expanded to six floors and was bringing in multiple millions of dollars. In 1938 George died and left the business to his son Nelson. Then in 1950 Nelson died and his son Donald became the president. An employee of the company, John Geisse, soon developed the concept of creating an upscale discount retail store. The Dayton Company took this concept and opened the first official Target in the 1960s. Since that point the Target brand has expanded and even become the top subsidiary of the corporation.

And Levin also playfully explained what a "French Republican" is: "A French Republican is a Republican who beats up on conservatives and is constantly praising the Democrats and contributing to the massive spending in this country while they go home and pretend otherwise."
Outrage is good. We need more public displays of outrage against the federal leviathan. And calling out Obama by name is especially patriotic. Levin does outrage and sarcasm very well.
I was hoping, when they hired Jake Tapper, that we'd see this kind of thing. He's just too much of a maverick to toe the party line.
Right, lipstick. Notice, also, he phrased it, "a" conservative radio host. To Jake's audience Mark must indeed appear like some strange creature seen only in a zoo. "Look, a Lemur!"

I dont know that you would need an antibiotic for this. Is there an open wound or laceration in the area? If it is just a closed injury to the joint or bone or the ligaments then I wouldnt think an antibiotic would be needed. You should consult your Dr for an evaluation. If you are still having trouble with an injury that happend several years ago, it needs to be evaluated by a doctor to see why it is still giving you grief especially if it is getting worse and keeping you from walking on it. You may just want to go to Urgent Care.

NatWest closing state broadcaster Russia Today's UK bank accounts
State-sponsored broadcaster Russia Today (RT) will see its UK bank accounts closed by British lender NatWest.
RT's editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, said in a Russian-language tweet: "Our accounts have been shut down in Britain. All of our accounts. 'The decision cannot be appealed'. Long live freedom of speech!"
An article posted on RT's website included a letter reportedly sent by NatWest to the broadcaster's London office.
It explained that the Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) would no longer offer its service to RT.
NatWest is owned by RBS Group.
"We have recently undertaken a review of your banking arrangements with us and reached the conclusion that we will no longer provide these facilities," the letter said.
"We assure you that we have only reached this decision after careful consideration; however our decision is final and we are not prepared to enter into any discussion in relation to it," it added.
All banking services will be closed as of December 12.
It comes amid heightened tensions between the West and Russia, over Moscow's military support of the Bashar Assad regime in Syria.
Britain and the United States are now considering economic sanctions against Russia and Syria.
A statement issued by RT pointed to the fact that the British Government owns 73% of RBS, dubbed the decision "incomprehensible" and accused the UK and Europe of ostracising the broadcaster.
It said: "RT has received a letter from NatWest, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, which has a significant shareholding by the UK Government, informing it that its UK banking facilities with the bank will be withdrawn without explanation or redress.
"This decision is incomprehensible, and without warning. It is, however, not at odds with the countless measures that have been undertaken in the UK and Europe over the last few years to ostracise, shout down, or downright impede the work of RT.
"RT UK will continue its operations uninterrupted."
Asked whether NatWest had informed the Government in advance of its move, Prime Minister Theresa May's official spokeswoman said that the decision was taken by the bank "independently".
"It is a matter for the bank and it is for them to decide who they offer services to, based on their own risk appetite," said the spokeswoman.
A statement issued by RBS said that the bank was currently "reviewing" the issue.
RBS said: "These decisions are not taken lightly. We are reviewing the situation and are contacting the customer to discuss this further. The bank accounts remain open and are still operative."

Hill, Errol 1921–
Errol Hill 1921–
Educator, actor, author, playwright
Attended Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts
For decades, beginning as early as the 1940s, Errol Hill was the leading voice for the development of a national theater in the West Indies. A native of Trinidad, Hill became an accomplished actor, playwright, and scholar. His early work focused on creating a body of plays uniquely suited for audiences and actors in the West Indies. His later published work brought to light the many accomplishments and trials of black stage actors.
Raised on Scripture and Hymns
Hill was born on August 5, 1921, on the West Indian island of Trinidad to Thomas David and Lydia (Gibson) Hill. Hill had little relationship with his father, who went abroad on business when Hill was young and stayed away from the family until Hill was already grown. On the other hand, Hill was tremendously influenced by his mother, who sang in the Methodist choir and often played the leading role in the church's staged religious dramas. With no professional theater on the island and amateur productions quite rare, Hill's first introduction to drama and song was through his mother's rendition of scripture and hymns.
Hill, who sought to imitate his mother's eloquent speech and strong voice, first began practicing his delivery at the daily family prayer times held each morning at his mother's bedside when he would be called on to read scripture passages aloud. He secretly practiced the passages so he could impress his family with his rendition. In his later years of elementary school, Hill first encountered Shakespeare and drama through a gifted teacher who also stirred Hill's desire to bring the spoken word to life. During his high school days, Hill was an excellent student, a Boy Scout, and a top debater. He was well known on the island for his acting ability and his dramatic flair.
The first play in which Hill appeared was A Man in the Street, staged at the Methodist school hall in Port-of-Spain. Despite being ill with the flu, Hill managed to drag himself from his sick bed to play the leading role on opening night. Hill also began writing his own plays and helped form an amateur group that performed on the island. After graduating, he had the honor of becoming the first Trinidadian to be awarded a British Council scholarship in drama to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

Attended Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts
Hill, the only black student at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, was required to be made up white before performances on stage with his white peers. A professional makeup artist instructed him on techniques to paint his face white and don a wig. Eventually one of the school's directors, who recognized the degrading and laborious nature of Hill's makeup requirements, staged Deep Are the Roots, an American play about racism in the South. Hill played the lead role of Brett Charles, and much to Hill's delight, one of his classmates was made up blackface to play his mother.
Hill's years at the academy were a mixture of wonder and disappointment. He was enthralled with the theater and saw hundreds of productions while in London. He was particularly fascinated with Shakespeare and studied the efforts of many great English actors, including Laurence Olivier and Richard Burton. However, his enthusiasm was stymied by the racist attitudes that prevailed at the time. The reality of his situation struck him hard when, as a graduating student, he was invited to participated in a showcase of the school's best actors, who performed in front of a group of London talent scouts. Going in with hopes for a leading role, Hill was cast as the household servant, the traditional stereotype that showcased none of Hill's talents.
Refusing to be deterred, Hill began staging his own productions. Gathering West Indian students from London's international community, Hill first produced Henri Christophe, with fellow Trinidadian Errol John in the lead. Before leaving the academy he also staged a well-received production of Sophocles' Antigone. Following graduation in 1951, Hill remained in London for a year, during which time he worked as a radio broadcaster for the British Broadcasting Company (BBC). He became a regular reader on the weekly BBC Caribbean program and appeared in numerous radio dramas.
Entered Academia
In 1953 Hill left London to take a job as a creative arts tutor in the extramural drama department of the recently established University of the West Indies in Jamaica. During his stint in Jamaica, Hill became increasingly interested in writing and producing plays indigenous to the West Indies. His hopes of laying the groundwork for a West Indies national theater were subsequently waylaid by political developments that left little hope for sustaining a national arts movement. On August 12, 1956, Hill married Grace Hope, a teacher; they had four children: Da'aga, Claudia, Melina, and Aaron.
Hill took a sabbatical from teaching in 1958 to pursue his studies at the Yale Drama School and returned to the University of the West Indies in 1962. In 1965 he was sent to Nigeria as a teaching fellow at the University of Ibadan's School of Drama. Leaving Nigeria two years later, Hill saw little hope of convincing his home university of creating a full-fledged drama department. Frustrated, he left the University of the West Indies for the United States.
With a recommendation from a professor at Yale, Hill secured a teaching position at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire in 1967. As his first assignment he portrayed Malvolio in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It was the first time in his life that he had been allowed to played a Shakespeare part in its entirety. With growing confidence, in 1968 he took on the lead role of Shakespeare's Othello and received positive reviews. Hill found a home at Dartmouth and remained on the school's faculty until his retirement in 1989. Joining the faculty as an associate professor, he was named professor in 1968. In 1978 he became the John D. Willard Professor of Drama and Oratory. He headed the department from 1970 to 1973 and again from 1976 to 1979.
Moved to Playwriting
"I began writing plays when it became clear to me … that an indigenous West Indian theatre could not exist without a repertoire of West Indian plays," Hill noted in Contemporary Dramatists. Written in 1948 Oily Portraits was first produced under its original title, Brittle and the City Fathers, in Trinidad. The play addressed political corruption in the West Indies. Square Peg, was written in 1949 but not produced until 1966, when it was staged by the University of the West Indies and published by the university's Extramural Department. The one-act drama is about a young man who runs away from home. Subtitled "A Backyard Comedy-Drama in One Act," The Ping Pong was written in 1950 and broadcast on BBC in the same year. A story of a West Indian steel band in the midst of trying to win a band contest, the play was first published and staged by the University of the West Indies in 1958. Hill penned Dilemma, a one-act production about the industrial pollution of the environment in 1953. It was produced and published by the University of West Indies in 1966.
Hill's greatest success as a playwright came with his folk musical Man Better Man, written in 1954. The three-act production relays the story of a young man who resorts to voodoo, or folk magic, to win a stick-fighting contest with the intent of impressing the girl he wishes to marry. The comedy was well received by critics and audiences. It was produced by the Yale School of Drama in 1960 and 1962. In 1965 productions popped up in England and Trinidad, and in 1969 the Negro Ensemble Company staged 23 performances of Man Better Man at St. Marks Playhouse in New York.
In 1957 Hill wrote the one-act play Wey-Wey, with derived comedy from the circumstance and happenings revolving around an illegal lottery in the West Indies. Wey-Wey was produced in the West Indies in 1957 and published by the Extramural Department in 1958. In Strictly Matrimony, written in 1959, Hill evokes comedy from a happy couple involved in a common-law relationship who are tricked into marriage, which turns their lives into comical chaos. The one-act comedy was staged by Yale University in 1959 and published by the Extramural Department of the University of the West Indies in the same year. In 1965 Hill penned Dance Bongo, a fantasy one-act about the dead-wake ritual dance. Other plays written by Hill that remain unpublished include Dimanche Gras Carnival Show, and Whistling Charlie and the Monster.
From the 1970s through the remainder of his career, Hill set aside his role as playwright to become an esteemed scholar of West Indian theater. Along with serving as an editor or contributor to a number of publications, Hill wrote The Trinidad Carnival: Mandate for a National Theatre, The Jamaican Stage 1655-1900, and A History of African American Theater. He also continually pushed for the wall to come down that barred black actors from meaningful stage roles. In 1984 he published Shakespeare in Sable: A History of Black Shakespeare Actors. The highly acclaimed work traces the path of black actors painfully slow entrance onto the stage of Shakespearean productions. In his introduction Hill noted, "One cannot … ignore the fact that since theater holds a time-honored place in civilized life, the part that black Americans play in upholding the institution of theater reflects their status in the larger society. The history of blacks in America is one of upward striving to secure a place as full citizens entitled to equal rights in a free democracy. Until that status is assured, black achievement in any field bears a direct relationship to existing social and political conditions." Hill, who retired from Dartmouth in 1989, continues to make his home in New Hampshire.

Hill, Errol
August 5, 1921

Errol Hill was the foremost scholar, historian, and advocate of theater in the Caribbean and African America. These roles were founded on his practical involvement in the theater as actor, director, playwright, and teacher in a career that spanned some six decades and contributed significantly to the growth and appreciation of this art in his native Caribbean.
Born in Trinidad, West Indies, Hill, along with actor Errol John and others, founded the island's first indigenous theater company, the Whitehall Players, in 1947. Graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1951, Hill was appointed Extra-Mural Tutor in Drama at the University of the West Indies, where he stimulated and facilitated much of the development of Caribbean theater across the region. Following this assignment, Hill taught at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, for two years before taking up appointments in the United States, where he would settle for the rest of his life. He retired after thirty-five years at Dartmouth College as John D. Willard Professor of Drama and Oratory, Emeritus.
Hill's work and contribution to theater internationally represent the very emergence of the West Indies as a region from colonialism to nationalism and political independence to cultural affirmation on the world stage.
The son of a Methodist minister, Hill benefited from a sound colonial education, which involved an early exposure to the performing arts, one of his schoolmasters being the Trinidad playwright DeWilton Rogers. Theater for Hill, as for the majority of practitioners of the day, meant British theater. In Hill's case, this influence was reinforced by his links with the British Council, where he worked as secretary and whose premises at Whitehall lent its name to the company he formed. But the West Indian masses had emerged in the literature of the region at least a decade before, and as Hill pointed out, "critics called for native plays" (1972, p. 29). Hill responded to this mandate with Ping Pong (1950), the first play on the steelband, Trinidad's indigenous musical orchestra, which had emerged in the late 1930s.
Through his appointment in 1953 to the University of the West Indies, itself a symbol and instrument of a nascent nationhood, Hill championed and propagated the idea of an indigenous theater that would crown a federated West Indies. He undertook the herculean task himself, teaching enthusiastically among the countries between British Honduras and British Guiana the skills such an enterprise demanded. The year the political Federation fell apart, Hill wrote Man Better Man (1960), a play reflecting the composition and traditions of Trinidadian folk. The play represented the newly independent state at the 1965 Commonwealth Festival in Britain. Other dramas in this period, Dance Bongo (1964) and Whistling Charlie and the Monster (1964), a political satire, continued to demonstrate the possibilities of an indigenous West Indian theater.
Hill's two-year appointment at the University of Ibadan in 1965 and thereafter in the United States allowed him to consolidate his theories and pursue further research into the history of the largely unrecorded theater of the African diaspora. He wrote extensively on the constituent arts of Trinidad Carnival, authenticating them theatrically and placing them on the agenda for further academic study. This he accomplished most authoritatively in his seminal thesis, The Trinidad Carnival: Mandate for a National Theatre (1972).
In this and in his other papers on Caribbean theater, Hill's stand is clear and consistent. He argues that there is a role in the Caribbean for a purposeful and professional theater as an expression of national identity and social cohesion and that Caribbean society is the poorer for not yet possessing it. This theater, he contests, belongs to all people, not just a social elite, and the people regionally should have access to it. Moreover, Caribbean theater must be based on indigenous sources that the people of the region recognize as their own. In fact, the definition of theater in the African experience incorporates a multiplicity of forms quite unlike modern Western theater, and this multiplicity must be reflected on the national stage.
Professor Hill's scholarly, academic, and artistic achievements are recognized in the many prestigious awards he received in America, Europe, and the Caribbean.

It is that time of year again. All the hunting season are closed—well most of them—and the sportsman public is locked indoors with nothing but a bored hunting dog and a reloading bench. Good thing the Idaho Sportsman Show is on the horizon.
Thursday, March 1 through Sunday, March 4, the Idaho Sportsman Show will take place at the Expo Idaho Center off Chinden Boulevard. Thursday and Friday the show is open from 5 p.m.-9 p.m., on Saturday from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
Hunting outfitters, equipment sellers and pro-outdoors groups will have booths promoting their goods and ideas. The expo will also host seminars on topics ranging from how to catch fish to how to call for elk. Check out a full schedule here.
Bring in your horns for a free measurement so you can brag it up to your friends. Check out what the Safari Club is up to or just get a quote on that Alaskan fishing adventure you have been dreaming of. I know I will be drooling through most of the rows.

Christmas at the Cody's
Col. William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and his wife Louisa loved to entertain for the holidays in their beautiful mansion. Today their hometown of North Platte, Nebraska keeps that tradition alive with Christmas at the Cody's.
Each year during the Christmas season, townsfolk gather to decorate each room of the mansion, the outbuildings and grounds and the huge barn that was a staging point for the famed Wild West Show with thousands of lights for the Christmas season.
Organizations adopting rooms over the years include Lincoln County Historical Museum; P.E.O.; XI Alpha Sigma; North Platte Opportunity Center; Experience Works; Wish I May; Lincoln County Tourism Advisory Council; MPCC Rodeo Team; Rape and Domestic Abuse Program; Relay for Life; Golden Spike Tower; Express Softball; Kids Club and the North Platte Jaycees, Buffalo Bill Kiwanis, Great Plains Health.
Not a single space is neglected, from the landing leading to the cupola where mansion staff would watch for visitors coming out from town, to the back porch leading to the storehouse where hot cider, Christmas cookies and roasted chestnuts are distributed.
Col. Wm. F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and his wife Louisa will be on hand to welcome you into their home, and as a special guest, Santa Claus will be holding court for the little ones in the barn. In the front of the house in the piano room, local artists and musicians will be providing non-stop entertainment.
Outside, horse drawn rides will be available all evening long, complete with carolers to lead you in your favorite Christmas carols. Each stall of the barn is decorated by different non-profit organizations of Lincoln County, so you won't want to miss that. Also in the barn is the Kid Center with crafts, games and activities for the whole family to enjoy.
The 2016 dates are Friday, Saturday and Sunday December 9 – 11; 16-18; and Thursday and Friday December 22 and 23, from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. Admission is $5 per person, with kids 3 and under free. Military Appreciation night is Saturday, Dec. 10th. All those with valid military ID's are admitted free. First Responder appreciation night is Saturday, December 17th.

Writing this Tuesday morning. All of the vision in my right eye is very foggy and hazy. Like trying to see while taking a shower or something.
There's no irritation, so that's good. Now I guess it's just a matter of being patient, using my prescription drops, using my non-prescription artificial tears, and waiting for my eye to stabilize.
I have patience.
Sunday things were actually okay. I even went to stupid Jack's and shot some pool for a while. I sucked, but at least I shot some. I saw ghost balls, but they were focused.
Yesterday and today, blurriness and haziness have been the main theme of my vision. I don't remember the haziness from the first time around, so it's a little more disconcerting than the blurriness. I still expect everything to be okay within the next several weeks. I hope.
One other thing that's definitely new is that I'm super-sensitive to light. Even the lights here in my building at work seem too bright. I'm almost constantly squinting. I might go get my sunglasses from my truck.

… I think there's a holiday for everything. This one I'll gladly celebrate. In honor of the day let's talk about books; books we love, books we read over and over, books that profoundly shaped us, or even books that we are currently reading. Tell me why you love books.
On my bedside is H.V Morton's, A Traveller in Italy. Morton, in my opinion, is the best travel writer ever. He weaves history, anecdotes, and culture into such a descriptive tapestry you are instantly transported to the locale. It's been quite a while since an author has pulled me in so deeply with his writings that I look forward to the end of the day when I can curl up with this book and travel back to Italy each night.

Report Excerpt
Vertical Industry Telecommunications SpendingTelecom profit margins are rapidly deteriorating in the US market, in part, because carrier offerings are perceived as commodities. To dispel this belief and restore the telecommunications industry to sustainable growth, vendors will have to reach deeper into the US market, focusing on specific vertical industries and catering to their precise communications needs. Vertical opportunities will be calculated by:
evaluating the size and revenue potential of each vertical industry and
determining the providers expertise in each particular market segment.
Failure to respond to the business markets demand for specialization will allow competitors to capture market share early on, relegating slow-starters to a residential/consumer focus.Vertical markets, therefore, represent untapped opportunities for the telecommunications industry. The objective of this market research report is to examine and quantify these opportunities in various vertical industries for the telecommunications service provider community. INSIGHT examines 14 vertical markets in this report, segmented according to Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) division of economic data. These 14 vertical markets represent almost 78 percent of all workers and approximately 82 percent of the total number of establishments in the US. Telecommunications products and services are, by their very nature, commodity products, since they exhibit little or no customization. Telecom providers recognize the commodity nature of their product when they market horizontallyoffering everything to everyone, everywhere. Vertical marketing focuses on developing solutions to user problems within specific industries. In contrast, horizontal marketing provides generic one-size-fits-all offerings. In this market analysis report our thesis is that, with competition eating into already anemic profit margins, solution selling by vertical industry becomes an attractive way for telecommunications vendors to differentiate and a viable way to maintain profitability and sustained growth. Four principal growth factors affect telecommunications expenditures significantly. With the US economy in such difficult straits, business opportunities for telecommunications providers in the enterprise market seem harder to find than ever before. According to the BLS, the employment picture is not sanguine. In April 2002, unemployment hit an eight-year high of 5.9 percent. The picture did not improve as the US rolled into 2003: by April, unemployment hit six percent, in May it rose to 6.1 percent, and by June the number peaked at 6.4 percent. Although the unemployment rate improved to 6.2 percent by July of 2003, some economists insisted that the rate only improved because a significant number people dropped out of the actively looking for jobs market, which is parcel to the overall unemployment calculation. On the other hand, the job market is usually the last fragment of the economic picture to recover in a turnaroundso stubborn unemployment numbers may not indicate a stagnant economy.The economy will show concrete signs of improvement relatively soon due, in part, to the estimated $600 billion (over five percent of the gross domestic product) deficit providing a stimulus. For the second half of 2003, it is reasonable to expect a growth rate of 3.5 percent; more than double the growth rate in the first six months of 2003. Federal Reserve officials have cut interest rates 13 times since 2001, and cut their target for short-term interest rates in June to one percent; a 45 year low. Stimulus packages, deficits, tax cuts, and low interest rates are certain to drive the economy over the next five years.

Web Traffic Analysis:
You've heard the hype about ecommerce. But chances are, your business doesn't sell online. So how can the web make your business more profitable?
The web is a great place to:
You may have the best salespeople anywhere. But without enough leads to keep them busy, you can't reach your full sales growth potential.
More importantly, you've got to provide the right leads, because a lead is far more than a contact. It's someone who has expressed interest in your product or service. Even better is when they request information about what you do.
40% of all major off-line purchases are first researched online, according to the American Marketing Association. If your customers aren't finding the information they need on your web site, they likely look to your competitors.
If they don't find compelling reasons to contact you on your web site, you'll never even know how much income you lost.
It's unfair. Maybe it's even profiling. But recent research shows how visitors to your web site judge what they feel about it's look not in 10 seconds, as we previously thought, but in .2 seconds. If they like what they see, you've got another 3-8 seconds to convey the benefit they came for... or they're gone forever. A simple click of the browser back button is a gavel tap unfairly judging your site.
So it's critical that in those first few seconds that you catch prospective customer's attention with benefits they care about.
What do online and traditional business have in common?
Almost everything! The concepts remain the same. The
methods are all that changed. For instance, every business
online or off must do the following to succeed:
In the offline world, you primarily prospect through
traditional advertising and word of mouth. On the Web,
you use Search Engine Marketing (SEM), including Pay-Per-Click
(PPC) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
Pay-Per-Click is the quickest way to get results. You
simply pay Google, Overture, MSN, or other search engines
to serve up text advertisements for your site. However,
you pay for every potential lead. PPC provides a great
way to quickly get your marketing efforts off the ground.
Search Engine Optimization consists of:
Learn More About Online Prospecting
People go online to solve problems. If they don't find them on your site, they try your competitors. So why do so many sites fail to focus on showing how their products solve problems?
I'll let you in on a little secret. Most Web site content
is created by one of two types of people:
The last person who should write your online marketing
copy is your "Web guy". "Techies" make
the Web possible. They can deliver your message with
attractive presentation and colors. Just don't count
on them knowing how to write the sales copy. It's not what they do.
On the other hand, business owners knows their product,
probably better than anyone else. Often that knowledge
becomes a handicap. You may be tempted to
write your own sales copy. In the sales
classic "The Closers", the author states
that effective sales is only 10% product knowledge.
The rest is knowing step-by-step how to sell. Online, you sell with the written word as your voice.
There's a reason why direct mail copywriters make tens
and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars for the ads
they write. It's because they understand the science
of persuasive writing.
There are key ways in which copy on the Web differs from other written sales copy. We'll help you create copy that works online.

Once you make your case, move in for the close. If you've spent any time
in sales, you know the truth of Zig Ziglar's statement, "If
you don't know how to close, you don't know how to sell." He
goes on to ask, "What is the average commission
in the area you work in on the sales you almost made?"
Of course, you get nothing for the sales you didn't
quite make, no matter how close you got. You get full
commission on the ones you barely made.
Most Web sites perform miserably in converting prospects
to sales. Many online marketing "gurus" proclaim
as gospel that you can't typically convert more than 1% of
the visitors to your site into buyers.
Perhaps they are happy with
that. However, Web site owners who understand the rules
of making their case and closing the sale online may enjoy
10%+ conversion rate. That's a
1,000% performance chasm between those who understand
the online sales process and those who merely claim to.
Most Web site failures are completely avoidable. Most of the scientifically
proven direct marketing techniques that sold millions of dollars worth of products over the
last 100+ years also work on the Web. You'll find very few differences between
effective online and offline sales copy.
I'll teach you some of them on this site, and still more
in my Online Marketing Advisor Newsletter.

Do you love refried beans? You can make pressure cooker pinto beans, and they will taste like the best refried beans you have ever had.
There is something about a hearty side dish of pinto beans. I like to mash mine up like pinto beans. You could leave them whole and enjoy a bowl of beans, this is entirely up to you.
My recipe contains bacon grease if you want to make a vegetarian style of bean you would use vegetable oil. I like to use a little bit of bacon grease; I like the smokey flavor that it adds. I am also using a yellow onion, cilantro stems, chipotle powder, cumin, and dry pinto beans. When I slice the cilantro I save the leaves for another dish since the pinto beans are getting pressure cooked, I want something that will carry the flavor and not disintegrate during the cooking process.
Since these beans are being pressure cooked, I am not going to soak them overnight, or even for a few hours. I find if I add about five more minutes to the cooking time they beans will come out tender. Dad Cooks Dinner advises you can soak the beans overnight in a brine, you may want to give this a try.
To start this recipe, I am going to saute my onions, cilantro stems, and bacon grease in the pressure cooker. I will then add my spices, beans, and water. They will then pressure cook, and I will allow the pot to release naturally, so this adds 20 minutes to my cooking time. You will still have flavorful beans in no time. I do not salt the beans until after they have cooked. Some people think that the beans may become tough if you add salt prior to the cooking process. I personally just like to wait because the bacon grease can be a bit salty, and I want to see how much salt to add.
My pressure cooker of choice in my Instant Pot. I think hands down this is the best pressure cooker around. It acts like a slow cooker, a yogurt maker, it can saute, it makes rice, it makes some of the best oatmeal around. To say I am passionate about this is an understatement.

Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans
Don't miss out on these easy to make pinto beans. Your refried beans have never tasted this good.
- 2 tablespoons bacon drippings or vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro stems
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1 pound dry pinto beans - sorted
- 4 1/2 cups water
- salt to taste
Saute onions and cilantro stems in 2 tablespoons of oil until the onions are translucent. Add cumin and chipotle powder. Stir in spices. Add sorted beans and water. Pressure cook for 40 minutes. Allow pressure cooker to release naturally, about 20 minutes. Taste beans and season with salt (I like about 1 1/2 teaspoons).
If you desire refried style simply mash beans with either a potato masher or a stick blender until the beans are smooth.Print Recipe
I would love the recipe for gumbo from Castaways restaurant in Port Aransas, Texas. Unfortunately, the hurricane MAY have ruined the building. I have eaten gumbo all my life and this is one of my favorites.
I followed the instructions to the letter and mine turned out a bit soupy. i'd recommend cutting down the liquid a bit.
Taste, however, was outstanding.
Did u add leaves? What temp and how long?
Wow how very good and easy, this is a keeper!
What does "sort the beans" mean?
When did you add the leaves of the cilantro?

Coverage Areas, Organizations and Employees
Originally ESIC Act was only applicable to non-seasonal industries (or factories) utilizing power providing employment to 20 or more individuals. But with the passage of its implementation, the provisions of this Act were modified to extend the coverage to Non-seasonal power using industries (or factories) providing employment to 10 or more individuals along with Non-power using industries (or factories) providing employment to 20 or more individuals.
Under Section 1(5) of the Act, the Scheme has been extended to shops, hotels, restaurants, cinemas including preview theatre, road motor transport undertakings and newspaper establishment employing 20 or more persons.
The existing wage-limit for coverage under the Act, is Rs.10,000/- per month (with effect from 1.10.2006).
Areas covered under the Act
The ESIC Scheme is being implemented in various phases area-wise across India. The Scheme has already been implemented in different areas in various States/Union Territories across India except in states like Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim.
Coverage of Factories
The Act is applicable to all non-seasonal factories that utilize power providing employment to 10 or more individuals as well as factories not utilizing power employing 20 or more individuals for wages on any day in areas wherein ESIC Act has been implemented. There is an amendment to the Act under Section 1(5) to extend the benefits to other classes of establishment agricultural, commercial, industrial or otherwise. The provisions of this Act have been extended by majority of the State Governments in India to the following class of establishments such as shops, hotels, restaurants, cinemas road-motor transport agencies, newspaper agencies, workshops, establishments employing 20 or more individuals.
In case, at any stage or in due course of time, if the number of employees working with an establishment or factory covered under the ambit of this Act falls short of the stipulated number of 10 or 20 employees as specified, ceases to be a beneficiary of ESIC Act without any aid of power. However, this Act is not applicable to workers engaged in mining operations, railway running sheds and certain seasonal/temporary factories operating for less than 7 months in a calendar year. The employees of establishments or factories run with the aid of Central or State Governments who are in receipt of social security benefits that are substantially similar or superior as compared to those provided under this Act can be exempted from coverage.
Coverage of Employees
The Central Government of India has issued guidelines pertaining to monthly wage limit that has been prescribed for the purpose of coverage of employees/workers of the factories or establishments covered under this Act. Under Section 2(9) of this Act, an employee has been defined as any individual employed for wages in connection with the work related to a factory or establishment which is a beneficiary under ESIC Act. The wage ceiling is revised from time to time. The existing wage ceiling effective from 1.10.2006 is Rs.10,000/- per month.

Abstract—We propose a massively parallel framework termed a parallel-pipeline model of execution that can be employed on a homogeneous computational cluster. We show that speedups near-linear in the number of processors are achievable for applications involving reduction operations based on a novel, parallel-pipeline model of execution. As computational clusters become viable alternative platforms for solving large computational problems, the research community acknowledges that the cluster environment can be used effectively when adaptive resource management is employed. This requires the ability to estimate the resource requirements of applications before scheduling decisions are made. We propose a resource estimation model for applications executed in the parallel-pipeline model of execution. We develop a performance model that predicts the resource utilization (i.e., computation and communication complexity) for applications executing under the parallel-pipeline model on a homogeneous computational cluster. This performance prediction model can provide information to a cluster scheduler.

Performance analysis, distributed application, measurement and modeling of multiple-processor systems.

Chelsea graphic design communications degree show
Chelsea's graphic design communications degree show featured some great interactive, print and digital work this year, from a smartphone app that encourages collaborative play, to an amusing campaign celebrating the versatility of the fax machine…
Chelsea's graphic design communications degree show featured some great interactive, print and digital work this year, from a smartphone app that encourages collaborative play, to an amusing campaign celebrating the versatility of the fax machine…
The show is cleverly laid out with two walls of posters, large screens displaying films of students' work and their processes, and rows of iPads allowing visitors to browse through student portfolios.
The first project to greet visitors, alongside a neon sign displaying the show's title, Sex, Drugs & PDFs (designed by Emi Dixon, who created a bespoke typeface for the event), is Art Boddington's series of football shirts that comment on issues that plague the sport, such as racism, homophobia and abuse.
The shirts feature some lovely graphic patterns and embroidered badges, and Boddington has also designed cardboard packaging complete with turf inlay and an A3 poster explaining the project. The aim, he says, is not to criticise football, but to draw attention to ugly issues within the beautiful game:
Several students had designed their own typefaces – my favourite was Katherine Jenkins' Antonym, inspired by Matthew Carter's 1995 design, Walker. Jenkins created several posters using the typeface, including a delicately crafted one for Antonym Outline, and describes the design as a classic stencil with innovative add-on serifs:
I also liked Nathan Matthews' sans, William (more pics on Matthews' website):
The stand-out digital project was Jack Hardiker's app, Movements, which encourages collaborative play. The app shows users a movement they have to perform, which in turn activates a sound, and different users can play together using different instruments. The app's launch is being funded by Nokia, and Hardiker has produced a short film explaining the project (below) featuring demonstrations by schoolchildren:
Josh Duffy's project on synaesthesia, a neurological condition in which two or more senses are joined together, featured some lovely animations and print designs. Duffy created six A2 posters explaining different types of synaesthesia, and an interactive plinth which users can touch to trigger a range of animations on an accompanying screen, providing an abstract insight into experiencing the condition:
Lucy Powell's Unconventional Uses for a Fax Machine is an amusing campaign to revive the fax in the digital age – although her suggestions of using it to create wallpaper and racetracks aren't particularly eco-friendly. While the fax may seem obsolete, Powell argues that it bridges an important gap between analogue and digital, and remains a trusted tool used in many a creative studio. You can see more about the project at unconventionalfax.co.uk:
One of the more unusual projects on show was Tobias Bschorr's inspiration generator, which randomly provides three sources of inspiration. Users are then encouraged to write down these sources on the form provided, and research them.
Bschorr says the machine encourages a research-based practice for developing ideas, and highlights the fact that we are often so bombarded with visual information, that we rarely take time to seek out the inspiration for ideas, "spawning work that copies visual styles, lacking any inherent value."
Aimed at students and young creatives, Saori Masuda's charming Fifty project featured a set of 50 cards beating advice from successful designers and illustrators on handling criticism. Masuda had also embroidered some flags with motivational quotes from the collection:
Another interesting design was Will Ellison's Waypoint system for exploring printed maps. The system included a route drawing tool and set of symbols which correspond with different activities (details on Ellison's website):
Among the posters on show, my favourites were Aleena Jamil's designs for XL Records, celebrating the label's 25th anniversary. The posters were a response to a brief set for this year's D&AD New Blood Awards, and present a collection of objects relating to seminal moments in the label's history.
Other great responses to D&AD briefs from this year's Chelsea graduates included Dixon and Jenkins' proposed re-designs of the Big Issue, a project set by Monotype. Both feature bespoke typefaces – Dixon's is advertising free (this has been moved online), and printed in two colours to reduce costs:
While Jenkins' re-imagines the publication as a platform for emerging creatives and photographers:
There's plenty more on show, too, and you can see details of all the students featured and their work at chelseagraphics2014.com, or watch this year's showreel below:
