How to change sector size on an existing partition?
I am trying to change the sector size of a partition either higher or lower than what is reported now.
Using the ADMIN | Computer Mgmt tools to shrink the partition does make it smaller, but the sector size stays the same. The one I am trying to change the size of is a logical drive inside an extended partition.
Here's hoping that I don't have to blow out the partition and make a new one.
Why do I want to do this? I have a dual boot machine and on the 3rd partition, I'd like to install a version of Linux to test. But since the two partitions have the exact same sector size, it's allegedly preventing the installer from seeing any of the partitions, it simply shows it as one large one with no partitions showing.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Sector size is an inherent property of the drive and cannot be changed.
But your problem has nothing to do with sector size.
Post a screenshot of Disk Manager showing the existing partitions.

Here you go. XP was on the drive first then Win 7. I know if I remove XP 7 won't boot, so it can stay. I have programs on there that won't run on 64 bit. The things I use XP for do not require a Web connection. I had made a 4th partition on the storage drive to put Ubuntu on but the installer and GParted only showed one huge drive. I understand this is s common problem but I am not sure how to fix it quickly. I DO have images of every partition, I was going to reformat the drive and make the XP partition smaller, since there will be no more programs added to it. I'd leave the 7 alone and make a 4th partition on the storage drive to hold Ubuntu. So far no joy!
Thank you!

I assume you want to install Linux onto the partition containing the E: volume. The problem is that it is formatted as NTFS which has at best only limited compatibility with Linux. You certainly can't install Linux on such a partition.
|My System Specs
|08 May 2014
Yes I understand that. But the problem is that GParted doesn't see any of the ntfs partitions and it should do. If I could see the partition I'd simply format it to ext4 and I'd be good to go.
Something is causing Linux to see the entire drive as if it had no partitions.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I think you should be able to use MiniTool Partition Manager to manage your disk. I would maybe suggest converting that Win 7 logical partition that you have into a primary partition, rebuild MBR and then resize the partition you want to use with another OS.

A sales executive is responsible for generating leads, following up with clients and maintaining professional relationships with others to secure future business. Most of these individuals have predefined quotas or goals they are required to reach. In order to meet or exceed challenging objectives set by superiors, some people visit local businesses to solicit a service; others fly around the world promoting new products. They also often make numerous cold calls each day to find new opportunities. Once a client expresses interest, a sales executive may be required to perform administrative tasks, such as filling out paperwork, to complete the transaction.
Interpersonal skills, perseverance and tenacity are traits that most people in this position share. Successful salespeople usually enjoy meeting and interacting with others. They frequently seek out new ways to promote themselves and the company or product they represent. Most of them network with others to encourage referrals and foster relationships with those who may be in a position to help them generate business. These individuals also spend time looking for potential customers in unique and creative ways.
Money is usually the motivating factor for these professionals. A sales executive often works on a commission structure as opposed to a predetermined salary. Therefore, he is in charge of his own earnings. Some business owners offer substantial bonuses and rewards in addition to regular compensation when salespeople exceed their goals. For this reason, successful sellers can make lucrative incomes. On the other hand, if a sales executive does not devote the required hours and effort to foster business relationships and seek out new clientele, he may not earn as much as his peers.
Most of the time, a sales executive is not required to have a higher level of education in order to obtain a sales position, though it certainly helps. Excellent written and verbal skills help inspire the confidence of others. When people feel that a sales executive is intelligent, eloquent and personable, they are often more likely to buy a product from him or sign a contract for services.
While a pleasant personality is an important trait, product knowledge is crucial. A sales executive should have a comprehensive understanding about the merchandise or service he sells. When a potential client asks questions, the representative should be able to respond appropriately. Additionally, if the customer poses objections or is unsure about whether or not he wants to purchase something, the salesperson should be adept at emphasizing the positive qualities of the brand.
Top Sales Executives Work Smart
Top sales executives recognize their time is precious and finite. These sales representatives know their primary job is to identify and call on the most profitable accounts first. Examining their current customer base and finding the common characteristics or demographics (gross sales, number of employees, industries, etc.) top salespeople know in advance what types of accounts where they make the most money. They separate their accounts by time zone enabling them to make the best use of their phone time throughout the day.
Once prioritized and sorted, top sales executives use their sharp questioning and listening skills to reach the decision maker and determine, with reasonable certainty, whether or not a business opportunity exists within an account. When a business opportunity is found within a department, business unit, location, joint venture, affiliate, reseller or partner, these successful sales reps always remember to set up specific action steps or a sales m.a.p. (tm) (Mutually agreed upon process) with the individual or individuals who influence the buying decision. Then they politely yet persistently follow up on these action steps through completion. Knowing how valuable their time is, the most successful salespeople do only those things they cannot delegate to someone else.
Top Sales Executives Think like Business Owners
Top sales executives adopt an attitude that they are in business for themselves not in business by themselves. These top salespeople make decisions upon seeing themselves as the business owner.
Organization and Prioritization of Goals
Top sales executives recognize the importance of organizing and prioritizing their goals. These people get ahead by planning ahead. They have clearly defined lofty goals and self discipline to see them through. Top sales executives are goal getters not just goal setters.
Top Sales Executives are Persuasive Communicators
The top successful salespeople are listening for reasons to buy and for ways to sell. Sensitive to an account's time available to speak with them and enthusiastic in their presentations and these top sales reps have mastered the technique of carefully selecting words for their positive connotations.
Top Sales Executives Are Always Striving for Self-improvement
Always growing, studying, reading, attending seminars, learning all the time, their goal is movement in a positive direction. These salespeople seek out opportunities to perfect their presentations and volunteer for leadership positions so they can stretch themselves as people and professionals.
Top Sales Executives have Positive Self-esteem
Strong, balanced sense of self worth combined with confidence in themselves and a belief in what they are doing are the hallmark of a great sales rep. Enthusiasm, excitement and zeal are elements of their character.
These people do a better job and become more productive by learning, practicing, changing and developing these new habits so they are incorporated and internalized qualities in both their personal and professional life.
First and foremost is the right attitude. You will hear this throughout most sales workshops because the right attitude is the difference between those that give up and those who never quit. There is no silver or magic bullet. Only hard work and persistence pays off.
To become a great sales executive, one must enjoy working with people and have a strong sense of curiosity, great listening skills and the ability to see the big picture. The best sales executives are able to produce results. Pay for performance is the way they prefer to work.
A great sales executive is someone who has a working knowledge of their company's operations, products and services, and possesses the ability to collect useful business sales intelligence(tm) about their accounts and translate the information into additional sales. They are persistent and tenacious to find the answers to their questions and they keep going until they do.
David R. Bender of the Special Libraries Association sums it up well: "...how many people have the expertise to evaluate, analyze, organize and package raw data-transforming it into meaningful information that can be put to work?"
He goes on to say "...not many, and the explanation is quite simple." As management expert Peter Drucker wrote in a column for the Wall Street Journal, "There is a big difference between being computer literate and information literate."
Bender writes, "Drucker explained that for data to become useful information, it must be organized for a task or applied to a decision." He contended, however, "Few people are adept at determining exactly what information they need to do their jobs, when they need the information, and where they can get it."
A great sales executive knows what data is needed, where it can be found and how to get it and provide it in a manner enabling them to increase their sales. In striving to become the best, top sales executives focus on creating value for their clients and a sense of pride and accomplishment for themselves.
Top 10 Qualities That Make A Good Sales Exeuctive
Having a great idea, and assembling a team to bring that concept to life is the first step in creating a successful business venture. While finding a new and unique idea is rare enough; the ability to successfully execute this idea is what separates the dreamers from the entrepreneurs. However you see yourself, whatever your age may be, as soon as you make that exciting first hire, you have taken the first steps in becoming a powerful leader. When money is tight, stress levels are high, and the visions of instant success don't happen like you thought, it's easy to let those emotions get to you, and thereby your team. Take a breath, calm yourself down, and remind yourself of the leader you are and would like to become. Here are some key qualities that every good leader should possess, and learn to emphasize.
Whatever ethical plane you hold yourself to, when you are responsible for a team of people, its important to raise the bar even higher. Your business and its employees are a reflection of yourself, and if you make honest and ethical behavior a key value, your team will follow suit.
As we do at Onevest, the crowdfunding platform for entrepreneurs and small businesses I co-founded, try to make a list of values and core beliefs that both you and your brand represent, and post this in your office. Promote a healthy interoffice lifestyle, and encourage your team to live up to these standards. By emphasizing these standards, and displaying them yourself, you will hopefully influence the office environment into a friendly and helpful workspace.
Ability to Delegate
Finessing your brand vision is essential to creating an organized and efficient business, but if you don't learn to trust your team with that vision, you might never progress to the next stage. Its important to remember that trusting your team with your idea is a sign of strength, not weakness. Delegating tasks to the appropriate departments is one of the most important skills you can develop as your business grows. The emails and tasks will begin to pile up, and the more you stretch yourself thin, the lower the quality of your work will become, and the less you will produce.
The key to delegation is identifying the strengths of your team, and capitalizing on them. Find out what each team member enjoys doing most. Chances are if they find that task more enjoyable, they will likely put more thought and effort behind it. This will not only prove to your team that you trust and believe in them, but will also free up your time to focus on the higher level tasks, that should not be delegated. It's a fine balance, but one that will have a huge impact on the productivity of your business.
Knowing what you want accomplished may seem clear in your head, but if you try to explain it to someone else and are met with a blank expression, you know there is a problem. If this has been your experience, then you may want to focus on honing your communication skills. Being able to clearly and succinctly describe what you want done is extremely important. If you can't relate your vision to your team, you won't all be working towards the same goal.
Training new members and creating a productive work environment all depend on healthy lines of communication. Whether that stems from an open door policy to your office, or making it a point to talk to your staff on a daily basis, making yourself available to discuss interoffice issues is vital. Your team will learn to trust and depend on you, and will be less hesitant to work harder.
Sense of Humor
If your website crashes, you lose that major client, or your funding dries up, guiding your team through the process without panicking is as challenging as it is important. Morale is linked to productivity, and it's your job as the team leader to instill a positive energy. That's where your sense of humor will finally pay off. Encourage your team to laugh at the mistakes instead of crying. If you are constantly learning to find the humor in the struggles, your work environment will become a happy and healthy space, where your employees look forward to working in, rather than dreading it. Make it a point to crack jokes with your team and encourage personal discussions of weekend plans and trips. It's these short breaks from the task at hand that help keep productivity levels high and morale even higher.
At Onevest, we place a huge emphasis on humor and a light atmosphere. Our office is dog friendly, and we really believe it is the small, light hearted moments in the day that help keep our work creative and fresh. One tradition that we like to do and brings the team closer is we plan a fun prank on all new employees, on their first day. It breaks the ice and immediately creates that sense of familiarity.
There may be days where the future of your brand is worrisome and things aren't going according to plan. This is true with any business, large or small, and the most important thing is not to panic. Part of your job as a leader is to put out fires and maintain the team morale. Keep up your confidence level, and assure everyone that setbacks are natural and the important thing is to focus on the larger goal. As the leader, by staying calm and confident, you will help keep the team feeling the same. Remember, your team will take cues from you, so if you exude a level of calm damage control, your team will pick up on that feeling. The key objective is to keep everyone working and moving ahead.
If you expect your team to work hard and produce quality content, you're going to need to lead by example. There is no greater motivation than seeing the boss down in the trenches working alongside everyone else, showing that hard work is being done on every level. By proving your commitment to the brand and your role, you will not only earn the respect of your team, but will also instill that same hardworking energy among your staff. It's important to show your commitment not only to the work at hand, but also to your promises. If you pledged to host a holiday party, or uphold summer Fridays, keep your word. You want to create a reputation for not just working hard, but also be known as a fair leader. Once you have gained the respect of your team, they are more likely to deliver the peak amount of quality work possible.
Positive Attitude
You want to keep your team motivated towards the continued success of the company, and keep the energy levels up. Whether that means providing snacks, coffee, relationship advice, or even just an occasional beer in the office, remember that everyone on your team is a person. Keep the office mood a fine balance between productivity and playfulness.
If your team is feeling happy and upbeat, chances are they won't mind staying that extra hour to finish a report, or devoting their best work to the brand.
Some decisions will not always be so clear-cut. You may be forced at times to deviate from your set course and make an on the fly decision. This is where your creativity will prove to be vital. It is during these critical situations that your team will look to you for guidance and you may be forced to make a quick decision. As a leader, its important to learn to think outside the box and to choose which of two bad choices is the best option. Don't immediately choose the first or easiest possibility; sometimes its best to give these issues some thought, and even turn to your team for guidance. By utilizing all possible options before making a rash decision, you can typically reach the end conclusion you were aiming for.
When leading a team through uncharted waters, there is no roadmap on what to do. Everything is uncertain, and the higher the risk, the higher the pressure. That is where your natural intuition has to kick in. Guiding your team through the process of your day-to-day tasks can be honed down to a science. But when something unexpected occurs, or you are thrown into a new scenario, your team will look to you for guidance. Drawing on past experience is a good reflex, as is reaching out to your mentors for support. Eventually though, the tough decisions will be up to you to decide and you will need to depend on your gut instinct for answers. Learning to trust yourself is as important as your team learning to trust you.
Ability to Inspire
Creating a business often involves a bit of forecasting. Especially in the beginning stages of a startup, inspiring your team to see the vision of the successes to come is vital. Make your team feel invested in the accomplishments of the company. Whether everyone owns a piece of equity, or you operate on a bonus system, generating enthusiasm for the hard work you are all putting in is so important. Being able to inspire your team is great for focusing on the future goals, but it is also important for the current issues. When you are all mired deep in work, morale is low, and energy levels are fading, recognize that everyone needs a break now and then. Acknowledge the work that everyone has dedicated and commend the team on each of their efforts. It is your job to keep spirits up, and that begins with an appreciation for the hard work.
Over a period, you should check how your customers perceive YOUR VALUE, such as does your customers call you when they need some thing, does your customer call you when they have a problem. If the answer is yes, actually your customer value you and you should be able to quantify your value in volume of order and price.
What quality should a sales executive have to increase the Perceived Value of the product?
1. Self confidence and polite
Self-confidence is the first step to success. Lau Tze said: Every creature is useful otherwise it will not be created (sound familiar like Survival of the Fitness/Charles Darwin). Be confident; if you are not sure yourselves, how can you convince your customer. Self confidence is not arrogance, be polite.

4. Honest and Enthusiastic
All you tell should be the truth, but does not mean you have to tell all the truth which you have to keep due to positioning and negotiation. Do not over promise, if you are not sure, tell them I will find the answer for you.

5. Give impact
There are two many sales knocking at your customers' door, they can only remember the sales executive who give them an impact (either good or bad).

6. Preparation
A good impact can only achieved if you prepare properly. I will not see any High Way salesman who just drop in and hear him talking nonsense, but I will accept somebody who has prepared a relevant topic which can arouse my interest (to get more value from him/her). No preparation do not go to see the customer, you waste you time and the company money.

7. Keep on learning
Every day we learn, we can only advise our customers if we know what they are current doing. And usually you learn more from your customers (on field learning) by asking relevant question, but before you can ask relevant questions you should have some basic knowledge on the issue.

8. Convey your idea to your customer
You should have a courage to convey your idea, not just "Yes, Sir", you will lose your value if every time your response is "Yes, Sir", then the customer will send you away with 1 kg of spray powder or ink. Usually, most of the idea comes from your observation/listen from others customer. By systematically learning, you can obtain a lot of idea.

9. Be creative and pro active
Don't bring the same topic every time you visit your customer, otherwise you become Order Taker and they will happily send you away with 1 kg of spray powder. Think of different topic, (ink, graphic supplier, logistic, business environment, competition, payment, pricing, investment, interest rate, capital etc.). The more knowledge you know on your relevant field, the more your customer will value you.

10. Killer instinct alias closing sales
whatever value you add to the customer, some body has to pay and it is your customer who is going to pay. If you can't close the sales, you have to question yourself: does my customer aware of my value? Does my customer appreciate my value? Or I do not know how to close the sales? Most of the time closing sales is just easy as asking for it. Do not be shy to ask for ORDERs.

An excellent sales executive for the education market is easy to find. What's the big deal? All you need is someone who walks on water, whose heart-rending speech can bring grown men and children to tears, and who motivates field-hardened salespeople to accomplish what they never thought possible, year after year. Easy! Well, just in case you haven't yet found the perfect sales executive, here are a few other ways to identify this extraordinarily important member of your company's management team.
Why Is It So Hard to Find the Right Sales Executive? More than any other leader on the executive team, the sales executive must exercise multiple skills to be effective.
In addition to meeting or exceeding sales objectives, he or she also needs to demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills, superb management ability, and exceptional strategic talents. Each of these skill sets is intensely demanding. What makes the matter even more difficult is the diversity of the skills required—they are not logical extensions of one another. It's unusual for any one person to have had the constellation of career experiences necessary to be fully equipped to perform the range of responsibilities required of a sales executive.
It isn't that many individuals don't have some of these skills. The scarcity of individuals in whom these three difficult skill sets coalesce is what makes top sales executives few and far between. Adding to the difficulty and diversity of the skills required, the sales manager must be able to work effectively with three distinct groups of stakeholders or constituents: customers, company managers and sales representatives, and the company's executives and board/investors. Even as the necessary skills are different from each other, each constituent audience requires the sales manager to perform a very different role as well. For example, customers need to feel genuineness,
Trust worthiness, and to some extent, even friendship with the sales executive. Company managers need a sense that the sales executive can deliver the assigned quota. The sales organization needs to feel that quotas are achievable and fair, and that sales representatives can count on the support of "their boss."
The third constituency is the company's executives and its board or investor group. To succeed here, the sales executive must frequently perform tasks that require abilities quite different from interpersonal and management skills. For example, the board or investors typically think in highly quantitative terms using an array of analytical tools. The sales executive must portray field experiences and management wisdom in language that is cogent and useful to these critical decision makers. As illustrated by the following chart, the three critical skill sets are valued very differently by the three constituencies with whom the sales executive interacts
So, What Are the Criteria that Determine an Excellent Sales Executive?
While walking on water may not be a formal requirement, there are eight essential criteria that docompany's immediate and long-term needs, these criteria will be weighted differently. But strength, if not excellence,
is required in each.
The criteria may be grouped into three categories:
1. Industry expertise
2. Management expertise
3. Strategic capabilities
Industry Expertise
1. Passion for education To be successful in this industry, a sales executive must feel and demonstrate passion about education and children. The education "market" or "industry" is different from other markets because the key players are essentially mission-driven. Teachers, administrators, and even many support staff are motivated principally by a sense of purpose and the desire to make a difference in the lives of children. A sales executive who is anything less than passionate about making a difference with children will be perceived by prospects as "just a vendor." Without sensing such passion from the sales executive, the prospect is likely to remain a prospect rather than becoming a devoted customer.
2. Knowledge of the education market Leading a successful sales effort in the education market demands an accurate understanding of the many cycles and timing milestones that influence educators' buying decisions. In addition to these decision-making cycles, the sales executive must also understand how trends in public policy and changes in funding sources affect purchasing decisions. Educators face many over- lapping challenges such as standardized objectives, high stakes testing, etc. The sales executive must appreciate these sufficiently so that the sales organization can respond appropriately to customer needs and recognize opportunities for sales.
3. Building relationships through listening Listen! Listening is the cornerstone ability of successful communication. This is true whether meeting with
customers, sales representatives, management team members, or investors.
The common presumption is that a successful salesperson, and even more, a sales executive, is a "silver-tongued orator" who can motivate through
define the successful sales executive. Depending on a powerful speeches and make the sale with clever "closes." Not so. Educators make purchases. They do not like to be"sold to."It is the case in most industries, but especially so in education, that sales are built on relationships. Trust,along with all the other ingredients of a relationship, is the basis of an education buyer's decision in favor of product and a company.
There are many dimensions to establishing and growing a relationship with a customer. Listening is the essential underpinning that allows the relationship to develop. The importance of this criterion—building relationships through listening—is emphasized here because so many education customers state how infrequently representatives of companies really do listen. Whether it's the regional sales rep or the national sales manager, building a relationship is hindered when salespeople start "selling products" rather than listening. As a relationship develops and the salesperson begins to understand customer issues from the perspective of the educator, solutions can be presented that the buyer will welcome. Modeling listening skills is the most effective way to train sales reps to listen and ultimately achieve sales.
Thus, the behavior of the sales executive sets the tone for the entire organization. As with all relationships, whether romantic, parent-child, or business, creative listening establishes understanding, trust, and friendship. And purchasers like to buy from friends.
Management Expertise
4. Compensation plan expertise Sales executives face two challenges in developing and implementing compensation plans. First, the plan must provide incentives for representatives to sell and to exceed quotas. The key here is not only to give financial rewards, but also to creatively shape compensation to engage the different motivational "hot buttons" of individual reps. Second, compensation plans can be used as strategic tools to achieve goals other than simply producing revenue. Depending on the company's objectives, particular
The Experts' Guide to K-12 School Publishing 187 products may merit some difference in sales incentives. Incentive payments can also be used to accomplish other strategic business objectives. The sales executive needs to be an expert in the wide variety of compensation approaches that can be designed to meet a broad range of company objectives.
5. Recruiting exceptional talent Sales executives tend to recruit sales representatives who have an established sales track record and a
"rolodex" of long-term relationships in a territory. This approach can result in a reasonably satisfactory sales force, but not always a great one.
The most outstanding sales executives target not just "the usual suspects." In addition to hiring people with proven sales track records, the objective should be to build a sales force comprised of individuals who have consistently excelled in their chosen endeavors across the board. The dimension to capture is not necessarily competitiveness, but excellence at whatever the individ-ual has been passionate about, whether in academics,
arts, human services, politics, or sports. Being a successful sales rep should be only the price of admission to an interview. The outstanding sales executive seeks to recruit sales representatives who con-sistently outperform their peers throughout their lives.
6. Team and infrastructure building Excellent sales executives build teams of people, and they also work to create the essential infrastructure needed to support those teams in multiple ways. Moreover, they recognize that the sales organization is one of many company teams that together are responsible for customer enthusiasm, company profitability, and individual sales quota performance. Building an effective infrastructure means creating and/or refining the operational resources throughout the company
that are necessary to support the sales organization.
Essential components of the sales infrastructure include:
• Recruiting;
• Sales training;
• Shared objectives between related functional units, such as customer support, technology services, and marketing;
• Reporting systems that are accurate and timely;
• Accurate accounting for and prompt payment of incentives and expenses. Strategic Capabilities
7. Forecasting accuracy The essential quantitative skill sales executives need is forecasting accuracy. Sales executives must be able to translate an ocean of individual field experiences and anecdotal encounters with customers and reps into a highly reliable forecast. Other company managers base crucial decisions on the sales forecast, including what products and services are
to be available to customers and when. Pricing and pro- curement are contingent on accurate forecasts. Financial decisions made by chief financial officers are inextricably linked to the sales forecast. The chief executive office decides about strategic alliances or acquisitions based in part on forecasting. And board members and investors sift through forecasts very carefully as they decide whether or not to make substantial financial investments. Sales executives are expected to make quota. However, the professional sales leader becomes most valuable to the management and investment process when he or she not only makes quota but also accurately forecasts when and how much revenue will be booked.
If the sales executive anticipates a shortfall, it is critical that he or she present an accurate revised forecast to company management as soon as possible. Although making quota is the number one responsibility of a sales executive, the ability to foresee when expected numbers cannot be achieved—and to understand and explain the reasons why—can be invaluable to company decision makers.
8. Vision In designing company strategy with other managers, executives, and investors, the sales executive plays an efficacious role by sharing his or her vision of the point on the horizon that the company should aim for. In this role the sales executive is a team member working in concert with others who also are staring at the horizon trying to determine the most appropriate long-term targets. Being competent to discuss the state and direction of the entire education industry is also essential because the sales executive may have the opportunity to represent the company with high-level education leaders. For example, the sales executive may meet with state education depart- ment leaders, political executives such as governors or even, given our current political climate, the president. Chief executives and other senior management people from major companies or investment banks may also merit a "sales call."

Torrential rain and devastating winds plunged much of Florida into misery yesterday as Hurricane Frances inched its way across the peninsula.
Roads on its eastern coast disappeared under flood water and damage was inflicted to property on one of the most valuable strips of real estate in the United States.
Like an unwelcome guest who would not leave, the storm made its way across the state at an agonisingly slow pace, increasing its destructive impact.
"It's the storm of the century," said Elliott Copeland, a resident of West Palm Beach, picking his way through debris. "Not because it's the strongest storm but because it feels like it's been going on for 100 years."
For many local people the hurricane took more than a day to pass, forcing them to remain in shelters or in barricaded rooms at home for far longer than they expected.
Squalls of up to 90mph shook buildings and the downpour felt like one giant hose gushing down the whole region. Millions were left without power as Frances spread havoc over a huge swathe of the "Sunshine State" on the last main holiday weekend of the season.
Its progress north-west threatened areas in the resorts of Orlando and Tampa with chaos three weeks after a visit from the last big storm, Hurricane Charley.
The streets of West Palm Beach yesterday were a huge obstacle course of fallen palm trees, downed power lines, smashed traffic lights and street signs and floodwater.
Convoys of National Guard lorries headed north towards the worst-hit areas along the coast at Vero Beach and Fort Pierce, home usually to tens of thousands of pensioners.
Afraid of looters and motorists being swallowed up by the floods, authorities up and down the coast pleaded with people to stay at home and some imposed 24-hour curfews.
"If you're coming from out of town, bring your teddy bear and toothbrush," the sheriff of Palm Beach County warned would-be robbers. "You'll need them because you'll be in the county jail for some time."
The enormous storm - the size of Texas - dropped more than 12 inches of rain on many towns in the 24 hours it took to pass over Florida's "Treasure Coast".
Before the hurricane reached the peak of its strength, a few surfers dived into the waters of Pompano Beach to ride waves 15ft or more high. The State's governor, Jeb Bush, earlier pleaded with Floridians not to risk their lives during the storm with displays of what he called "abject stupidity".
The normally placid stretch of water between West Palm Beach and the billionaires' retreat of Palm Beach was transformed into a raging, churning swell. One captain of a yacht tried to save the vessel by tying it to the quay after it lost its anchors and all power and began drifting out to sea.
One resident of West Palm Beach was stoical after putting up with Frances for more than 24 hours, having spent some of the time on his porch with neighbours drinking beer and enjoying a barbecue.
"This storm is not going to make me pack up and move back to Ohio," Jim Jensen said. "I like it here in Florida, hurricanes or no hurricanes."
With 110mph winds at its core, the storm made landfall near Stuart, north of Palm Beach at about 2am yesterday. It had been downgraded overnight from a Category Four hurricane to Category Two, but its punch was still awesome.
The American Red Cross has thousands of officials and volunteers in place to begin what an official described: "The greatest relief operation in the organisation's history." The federal government's emergency management agency and the Florida National Guard were also on the scene in force.
Florida's largest hospital, Miami's Jackson Memorial, announced that it had put into force its "mass casualty procedures".
With air service resuming between the mainland and the Bahamas, all Miami hospitals were preparing to receive not just local casualties but scores of seriously injured persons being air-lifted from the outer islands.
The eye of Hurricane Frances, then packing winds of 140mph, had passed directly over the resort islands along the north-westerly fringe of the Bahamian Chain.
The hurricane stranded thousands of British tourists across Florida yesterday. In Orlando, a group of Britons was hoping that the storm would pass them by.
Chris Kirkham, 45, from Lytham St Annes, Lancs, who runs a food shop in the town, said: "We've got a few friends round to sit it out. We just pray there's no damage to the house or the store."
Mike Smith, 42, an IT worker from Finsbury Park, north London, said: "Everything is closed. All you can do is go and find someone who's got cold beer. To be honest I think the worst of it has missed us. Obviously we are watching the weather every 10 minutes but it's with the typical British thing that what will be will be.
"I think maybe some of the Americans are taking it a bit more seriously than us."
Holidaymakers who had hoped to fly to Florida at the weekend were told that most operators were not resuming services until at least today.
British Airways resumed flights to the Bahamas yesterday after the hurricane finally left the islands.
City and state officials in Florida were hoping that the human toll in the state would not exceed that of Hurricane Charley. This later storm was twice as big - twice as big also as Hurricane Andrew, 12 years ago, which took 40 lives and caused damage of $26 billion (£14 billion) and still rates as the most destructive national disaster in American history.
The latest storm crossing the tropical Atlantic, Hurricane Ivan, was gaining in strength yesterday and was expected to be in the vicinity of Puerto Rico by Wednesday. If it keeps to its present course it could bring more destruction to Florida - the third hurricane in less than a month.

Ramzi Auredwan, the founder: "music, an expression against the Israeli violence."
Ramzi was born in 1979 in Bethlehem. He spent his childhood and youth in the refugee camp of Al-Amari in Ramallah, where his grandparents went after they were expelled from their house in Naani in 1948 (in the suburbs of Ramla, Palestine). More Se Repérer
In 1987, at the age of eight, during an Israeli military operation, his best friend was killed. Ramzi took part in the first Intifada - "uprising" in Arabic, often called "war of stones" - that took place between 1987 and 1992. More.
As an experienced street combatant on the make, Ramzi seemed destined for an Israeli prison or a Palestinian martyr's poster. But fate decided otherwise.
At seventeen, he was invited, by chance, to a music workshop in the Popular Art Center, in Al Bireh, directed by Mohammad Fadel, a Palestinian from Jordan.
He fell in love with music and started to learn the viola.
After studying for one year at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music (ESNCM), and after attending a summer workshop in the United States - in the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music of New Hampshire - he entered the Conservatoire National de Region d'Angers in 1998, thanks to a grant from the French government. In 2005, he was awarded the "DEM" gold medal for viola, chamber music and music theory. He learned to play the piano and he played in the orchestra as well.
He created the ensemble Dal'Ouna in 2000. More. Dal'Ouna's music symbolizes the link between East and West, where the twain meet, for it emerges from an encounter between Palestine and France, from the melting of pure traditional Middle-Eastern songs with mixed jazzy compositions, played on Western classical musical instruments (viola, violin, clarinet, flute, guitar, piano), and traditional Eastern instruments (bouzouk, oud, darbouka, bendir, etc.).
In France
Al Kamandjâti Association ("the violinist" in Arabic) was formed in October 2002 by a small group of Angevin activists, members of the AFPS, on the initiative of Ramzi, who was nominated as first president of the association.
The first General Assembly of the Al Kamandjâti Association took place on the 26th of March, 2004 in Angers : Ramzi Aburedwan (President of the Association), Karim Rissouli (Vice-president), Yamma Amraoui (Secretary), Marie Albert (Vice-secretary), Marie-Paule Bocher (Treasurer), Catherine Bocher (Vice-treasurer), Jocelyne Benchamakh, Chantal Caure, Christophe Couvreur, Anthony Fardeau, Catherine Ferrari, Elsa Ferrari, Gwenael Gicquel, Yacine Laghrour, Jean-Noël Loget, Hélène Oudjani, and Antoine Roland.
In Italie
In Italy, Nicola Perugini and Marco Dinoi put a whole network of practical support for the Al Kamandjâti Association into place, including members of the Mozart Orchestra of Bologna as directed by Claudio Abado, the Sienna Municipality, the Region of Puglia and the city of Bari. These Italian partners committed themselves to collecting instruments, to sending music teachers and stringed-instruments makers to Palestine, to sending Palestinian makers in Italy to organize collaborations and, more recently, to creating an opera called "Al Kamandjâti Show" in Rome. This opera, by Guido Barbieri and Oscar Pizzo, was coproduced by the Foundation Musica per Roma in Italy and the Oslo Ultima Festival, in Norway.
In Palestine
In September 2004, another association also called Al Kamandjâti was created, under Palestinian law, in Ramallah, with Ramzi as President.
The Association currently teaches music to around 450 Palestinian students in places such as the refugee camps Al Amari, Jalazon, Qalandiah and Qaddura, the village of Deir Ghassana, the old cities of Ramallah and Jenin and in Tulkarem.
In Lenanon
Since 2005, Al Kamandjâti, with ten French musicians, has organized annual music workshops in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon. Those workshops, similar to those organized in Palestine, give many children the opportunity to discover music.
Since October 2008, Al Kamandjâti is teaching music to 60 students in two Palestinian refugee camps: Bourj el Barajneh and Shatilla.

Till yesterday, I was manually checking the AdWord performance report almost after every hour to keep a track of the metrics/numbers and was reporting to some of my clients, and trust me It was really frustrating.
I started looking out for some solution to this problem and stumbled upon "Adword Scripts", I did some research on the same and thrilled with the possibility and level of automation is possible with scripts. Today, I'll share a quick and simple Adword script that will refresh your Google Spreadsheet hourly and provide you some valuable information on your Adword account every hour of the day.
Apart from getting the hourly granularity of your Adword Campaigns, here are some more benefits of using this scripts.
Deeper Understand of your Campaign Performance- Apart from getting automated report of your Adword campaign every hour, this script will show you deeper level of granularity and interesting insights of your campaigns which can help you decide further marketing campaigns.
Historical Data of your Quality Score- Maintaining retroactive data of your quality score is not possible in Adwords, This script will record the Quality Score of your most important keywords every hour. You just need to save the report every hour.
Get Hourly Analysis and Everyday Performance Report- The next time your boss wants to know why the account spend seems low for the day, You can use this hourly data to make sure things are running as expected and show that spend always picks up later in the day.
How to create a new Adword Script: To start using Adword Script, Click "Bulk Operation" (visible in left coloumn of your Adword interface) and Select "Scripts". Now you just need to click on the red button of "+Scripts" (highlighted in the screenshot below) and you are ready to go.
Follow the below-mentioned instructions to setup this in next 5 mins 🙂
1 – Open the spreadsheet template from the link at the top of the script linked above
2 – Make a copy to your google drive/account
3 – Update the variable spreadsheet_url with the link to the copy you made
4 – Paste the entire script into a new AdWords script and authorize (copy from below)
5 – Preview/run to see it work
I have it scheduled to run hourly and it's formatted so it shows clearly on the desktop as well as the mobile version of Google Docs/Sheets.
This script will run per hour and store the everyday stats for the selected items at that time, Just keep in mind that these stats can be delayed because the scripts will run at any time during the hour and you'll see hourly progression in the recorded stats but specific hourly data will not be available as of now.
I'll work more on Adword Scrips and share some more cool hacks to automate Adword and simplify search engine marketing for you 🙂

It looks a great Big East battle is shaping up between West Virginia and Pittsburgh for Vince Beamer of Harrisburg (Pa.) Bishop McDevitt.
Beamer, a long time Pitt commitment, visited West Virginia this past weekend and said he no longer considers himself committed to the Panthers.
"Take me off the list," Beamer said. "I'm undecided now between West Virginia or Pittsburgh. I'm up in the air."
Article Continues Below
Beamer had an offer from West Virginia for some time but said he didn't get serious about WVU until the visit this past weekend.
"I went down there last weekend and I liked it a lot," he said. "It was different, but it was different in a good way."
Beamer, the nation's No. 19 safety, said he doesn't plan to have any kind of signing ceremony and will just get up Wednesday morning and decide.

Icelandic name generator
This Icelandic name generator will generate either 10 male or female names depending on your choice, but the surnames are different for each gender.
Icelandic names mostly follow a patronymic system, which means the father's name is used as a surname. In addition to that, either -(s)son or -(s)dottir is added to the father's name.
The patronymic system isn't always used. Sometimes the mother's name is used, especially in cases in which the mother wishes to either make a statement or wishes to break as many bonds with the father as possible, but these aren't the only reasons.
It's also possible to have a different surname, one which doesn't follow the patronymic system. This usually happens when somebody from a different culture marries somebody in Iceland, but like choosing the mother's name, it could have many other reasons.
This generator sticks to the patronymic system.
Also note that a good amount of the names in this generator aren't the most modern names in Iceland. Like most countries, cultural influences will have lead to changes and adaptations.
If you want to play it safe, pick the names which sound like modern English names, but with a slight twist.
To start, simply click on the button to generate 10 random names. Don't like the names? Simply click again to get 10 new random names.

When we heard about the world's first synthetic lifeform, we realized we needed a science expert to help us explore and share the real significance of the news. So we're very pleased to introduce our first guest blogger, Alexandra Ruaux (wife of regular contributor Alexander Bowyer). Alexandra has a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Southampton, UK and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Biotechnology Research Institute in Montréal, where she spends most of her days growing and isolating bacterial proteins to determine their molecular structure. She has published several journal papers and contributed structures to the Protein Data Bank.
Synthia is the first living organism on the planet to have a computer for a parent. From just four bottles of chemicals (the basic components of DNA; Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine) Dr. Craig Venter and his research group at the J. Craig Venter Institute synthesised the entire genome of a bacterial cell. They used a known genetic code as a recipe and transplanted it into a different cell, effectively causing it to 'change' species. What does this mean for mankind? Are we about to have the magic of life reduced to just 4 chemicals? Will terrorists be able to synthesise terrible bio-weapons? Can we now design cells that do whatever we want?
For now the answer to all of those questions is no, but Venter's work is important because it brings the technology, and the discussion of its implications and ethics, to people's attention as something more than science-fiction. What has been accomplished by this group, and reported in Science, is a milestone in biotechnological advances and will no doubt provide a stepping stone to many major achievements in the future, good and bad.
What this group of scientists have achieved is to synthesise overlapping fragments of DNA from the genome of one type of bacterial cell (Mycoplasma mycoides), piece them together inside yeast cells and then insert this whole genome into a bacterial cell of a different species (Mycoplasma capricolum). The result was that after many generations of replication, the daughter cells of the M.capricolum no longer contained (or consisted of) any molecules that were encoded by its own genome. Instead, everything had been made by following the instructions on the transplanted synthetic genome of M. mycoides. In nature, both of these bacteria infect goats and cause diseases of the lung, but there are subtle differences between them, particularly at the molecular level and it is here that the reprogramming of the cell can be observed. The new software in the cell was able to build its own hardware.
This convergence of two significant biological engineering feats, synthetically writing a large genomic recipe and devising a method for transplanting it into a recipient cell and 'boot' from it, is a very involved process. Dr. Craig Venter, the head of the group, clearly explains in a TED talk how they did it. Each of these advances is an amazing and useful biological tool, but combined, they provide a means by which scientists can try to piece together the basics of life.
For years we've been able to alter, delete or add DNA to a bacterial genome, but now we can systematically strip down the genome to the essential genes required for life and replication. Cells are very complex systems and each gene can create several components, all of which work together in a wonderfully intricate manner to form interconnected networks and pathways. The ability to study a simplified, but 'real' system, such as is provided by this synthetic cell, is invaluable in understanding the complex and multifaceted process that take place within all cells.
But the implications of the ability to create a synthetic cell go far beyond merely understanding how a cell works. The recipient (M.capricolum) and donor (M. mycoides) cells in this experiment were chosen because they are genetically quite similar, therefore increasing the chances of success. The hope is that a 'universal recipient cell' can be engineered into which we can begin to write any of our own DNA recipes, without having to worry about compatibility, a bit like a universal power adapter. By understanding how the systems and their components function within a cell we will be able to 'engineer' gene products that could, for example, degrade crude oil and be used to clean up in situations such as the Louisiana oil spill. Or we might tackle global warming by engineering cells that can use carbon dioxide as a starting material to create a fuel.
We shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves, though. Synthia is really just a proof of concept and we're many years off seeing this technology become widespread. Synthetic life has now been created, at a cost of over $40 million and 15 years of dedicated research and brute force chemical synthesis. Hopefully it will follow the example of sequencing the human genome and we will see costs decrease, where what once took 13 years to complete can now be done in less than a month and at a fraction of the cost. Don't worry, we're not going to see terrorist groups trying to use this method anytime soon.
We don't yet know how transferable this technology is. Venter's group took 2 organisms with 10% difference in their genomes (about the same as between humans and mice) and managed to overcome many difficulties to achieve the genomic transplantation. The development of a universal recipient cell, now one of the group's goals, would be an important achievement if this technology is to ever go mainstream. There's also no danger of life being reduced to a bag of chemicals just yet. After all, even though machines built the starting DNA fragments, live yeast cells were required to act as nano-factories to assemble them correctly and the genome was transplanted into whole recipient cells.
We're still a very long way off being able to truly synthesise life without relying on Mother Nature to provide components. This biotechnological milestone will affect our lives in the future, but for now it's a step forward into new and interesting areas of science.

New G5 model for 2015
New – Smaller Size – 69″
New – Lighter Weight – 17#
New – 3 Power Settings
Limited Time Offer – Free Storage Case with every Hunt Tester G5
The Hunt Tester™ G5 has been redesigned for 2015. While still offering its awesome performance that the largest model in the Zinger Winger line we have reduced the overall length and weight of the winger considerable. The overall length is now 69″ down from 74″. The weight drops just over a pound to 17lbs. The smaller size will make it easier to carry in and out of the field as well as transport in smaller vehicles. Another added benefit to the smaller size is that the shipping costs will be greatly reduced. The smaller size of the Hunt Tester G5 will mean it ships in a smaller box without incurring oversize fees from UPS. This was a problem with our earlier models. Performance is maintained as the rubber length has been modified in order to obtain the force needed to throw the heaviest birds. The Hunt Tester G5 launches a jaw dropping, eye popping mark. The length of time the bird sails thru the air is enough to make the steadiest of dogs break. Better be ready!
If you want the highest and longest mark you can possibly achieve then this model is for you.
When combined with the Dogtra remote electronics it becomes an important part of your dog training equipment that will quickly improve your dogs marking ability. In order for your dog to successfully compete on a consistent basis they must be shown marks (in their daily training) that have the same distance, arc and height of marks seen at your weekend Hunt Tests and Field Trials. A remote Zinger Winger™ is a must for training by yourself. More champion retrievers have been trained using Zinger Winger™ remote launchers than any other winger on the market.
The Hunt Tester™ G5 features our heavy duty hinges and rubber tubing, 3 sets of anchor hooks to offer you multiple settings for adjusting the height and distance of the throw. It features our exclusive servo actuated Multi-Shot Sound™ release mechanism which fires 209, .22 and .32 caliber blanks. The shot fires as soon as the mark is launched allowing your dog to more easily mark the bird as it sails thru the air. This increases the dogs chance of finding the bird and instills a successful attitude in the dog. The .22 and .32 caliber ports give you the ability to shoot an extra loud report for the dog to hear. The .32 blanks are similar to a 12 gauge shot and are perfect for Field Trial type marks. It's also important to remember that the winger can be operated without firing a blank for a silent launch.
Each Zinger Winger™ now comes standard with our Rolling Release™ pouch bolt. This release bolt is designed to provide the winger with a smooth and flawless launch while eliminating any possible hang ups of your winger pouch and misfiring of the primers due to worn eyebolts and metal wear. No maintenance is required.
The Hunt Tester G5™ will launch ducks, pheasants, pigeons, Dokkens, and bumpers as well as live flyers. It weighs 17 pounds and measures 69″ x 1 1/2″ x 25″ when folded flat. Its versatility allows the user to quickly choose direction, arc and height of the throw. New to the HT is the ability to choose between 3 different throw options. An optional carrying case is available for this unit. Compatible with Dogtra, SportDog or Tritronics Remote Electronics (Except Manual Version).
USA orders ship from our Niagara Falls, NY outlet, Canadian orders ship from our Ontario outlet. All Zinger Wingers™ are "Made in Canada" using parts and suppliers from both the USA and Canada. $479.99

"Living For Today With An Eye For Tomorrow"

Isn't that nice
Matthew 3:7-10 / Luke 3:7-9…
A lot of people think they have this "eternal life" thing all worked out, it's a done deal. They said a prayer, lived a moral life, and attended all the right rituals, and now they can't be bothered with matters of the heart. They are spiritually smug, and will turn quite sour if you dare bring up the ongoing fruit of repentance to them.
Most have never felt the condemnation of sin. They may have had a pang of conscience here or there, but they never actually turned their heart toward God after they felt better. Oh, they want Jesus to save them all right, but they sure aren't going to follow Him while they still have their own life to lead.
John the Baptist didn't play games with the souls of men. Many were coming to see, confess, and get baptized, but John, seeing the religious leaders, didn't try to avoid confrontation. No, he went right at the hypocrites. Not those who did bad things and admitted it, but those who didn't think they needed any mercy and grace.
They assumed that John was speaking only to the rank and file; but John said that the hypocritical religious leaders needed a baptism of repentance as much as anybody. Don't fool yourselves, he says to them…and to you (Matthew 7:21-23 / Luke 6:45-46).
Many come to see the religious ceremony but lose the significance of it. They act so happy for the person who "turns their life around" not realizing all the while the evidence is mounting against them. Another brand plucked from the fire, manifest before their eyes, yet they burn in their hearts as ever they did. Some might even "get wet" but they never submit to the repentance and faith it embodies (Psalm 51:17).

Believe it or not, independent and confident women experience a severe dating drought almost every season.
Yes, just as much, if not more than others. It never seems to rain men for our kind.
Let's face it; we are a different breed. Independence is very intimidating, and we have a lot more to offer you than most other girls.
But, there are some stereotypes to be dismissed and a few other things that us independent ladies need you to know:
1. She is not going to push her beliefs or opinions on you.
Nothing is more annoying than the common misconception that women who are independent are feminist and regularly preach their rights and worth everywhere they go. Hello! We are NOT against the opposite sex. Embrace us.
2. Her independent character does not mean that she will never have any time for you.
Assuming is so annoying of you. Especially if it's the constant excuse for guys to say, "I just figured you wouldn't have time." Being independent does not mean that she never has time for anyone else. How could anyone not need anyone else ever? We all are human, regardless of our gender or character; we all need to be surrounded by other humans.
3. She does want you around, but she is capable of fighting her own battles.
She has a voice and isn't afraid to use it. She won't need you to fight any of her battles for her because her capabilities come complete with that trait. Still, that does not mean that she does not want you to fight for her at times.
4. She is comfortable being the only girl at the party.
Phew! You can bring her out with your friends, and she won't need you to be by her side the entire night. The independent girl actually wants you to spend time with your friends and know that she is completely okay being around people that are not her best friends. She knows how to talk to people without you there to introduce her.
5. Yes, we can seem stubborn. But, it's nothing against you.
Her independence has caused her sometimes only to see things from her own point of view. Although her stubborn ways may be difficult to deal with, she just needs you to have patience with her.
6. Being her own person and having her success is critical to her.
At least you know you won't be expected to pay for everything! LOL. This girl knows that nothing is going to be handed to her and even if that were the case, she would rather work hard and achieve things on her own. Although you might find it annoying that she is always at work or busy doing something work related, she just wants you to support and understand that.
Study up, and come love us because independent women are the best!

Description of House In TauléThis 17th century manor house is a lovely holiday house set in mature gardens on the outskirts of the village of Taulé. This incredibly charming property retains much of its atmosphere you long for in an original French Manoir. The stone fireplaces, beamed ceilings all add to the rustic style of the property whilst retaining its quirks and charms. The capacious kitchen - diner has access to the conservatory, sheltered garden and terrace. Once you arrive inside this wonderful house, you will find yourself in the main lounge/dining room, suitable for all types of entertaining and spectacular drawing room situated on the second floor. There are living rooms on both ground and first floor, with beamed ceilings, arched stone doorways and an imposing central staircase. The first floor bedroom has a beautiful ensuite bathroom, while the second floor bedrooms are cosy and typically French. The cabin bed to the side of the corridor is an original touch. Upstairs on the second floor you will find the main bedroom which is both grand and opulent in its design. There is a Louis VI four poster bed which our guests love and this bedroom has its own newly decorated en-suite bathroom with sink, bath and shower.

The bay of Morlaix, including the picturesque port of Roscoff, with its many islands accessible by ferry or at low tide, provides a very wide variety of activities for all the family. Further west are the long, unspoilt beaches of Santec and Plougoulm, with fine pale sand; to the east are the picturesque coves and prehistoric monuments of Barnenez. The medieval market town of Morlaix, with its half timbered houses, cobbled streets and port, is perfect for an evening stroll. French channels available.

Meeting With Sanshin: An Interview with Hiah Park, Lover of the Mountain God
On February 16, 2015 By johneinarsen
Manshin is a title of respect identifying a mudang, a female Korean shaman. For centuries manshin had been openly persecuted, their practices disrupted and shrines destroyed, their artistry desecrated to entertainment. The prevailing religious and social order forced the practice of shamanism "underground". That one of Korea's most acclaimed artists became a mudang has had impact in Korea as well as globally.

Chasing Deer
On August 15, 2013 By johneinarsen
I had just cycled over seven hours through Mie Prefecture and was now stuck on this deserted mountain road somewhere in the Kasagi Mountains, approximately 10 kilometers northeast of Nara city, searching for a campsite I had circled in my Kansai Mappuru guidebook when planning the trip from home weeks before. I thought of home now back in Kanagawa, and my wife Rui, who would be sitting at the table eating dinner at about this time. Make sure you take pictures of the deer in Nara, she would remind me every evening.Continue Reading →

Response Statements
Response Statement - Griscom's Arnica
This mat-forming plant is a Canadian Gulf of St. Lawrence endemic found only on small, isolated calcareous cliffs and limestone barrens of Quebec and the Island of Newfoundland, is increasingly under threat due to habitat shift in response to a changing climate. The instability of some sites increases the threat of a stochastic event that could result in the loss of some small subpopulations. ATV use in limestone barrens is of some concern.

Ariana Grande – Into You (Drum Cover)
Ariana Grande – Into You (Drum Cover)
Hi Friends,
I'm back with a new drum cover, a dance track! I picked this song, because I couldn't stop moving when I heard it. I had a week in between online session drumming and wanted to give the fans something to enjoy. I'm so proud of this one because it's the first drum cover I've released with a drum solo in it. Dance tracks are tricky, you don't want to over play, but you don't want it to sound like a simple drum machine either. I really just tried to stay in the pocket, but unleashed in the drum solo section. There are vocals throughout the solo, so I tried to punch with them and go crazy in between. I'm really happy with this drum cover and hope that you have danced it, cranked it, rocked it, loved it, killed it and sang when no one was looking! Thanks again for watching and listening!

I'm going to skip the fact that it's been a while since I posted, and jump right into the good stuff, all right? All right. So, want to know the first thing on my mind when planning my outfit for yesterday's above 80 degree NYC weather? Layers. Yup, the exercise in how to expertly pair red with yellow without looking like a hot dog's best companion, that's typically reserved for the cooler of seasons.
I was initially going to reach for a throw-on-and-go number, but it was the first really nice day we've had in a while. And on days like that, in my vitamin-d-induced high, I actually believe I can pull off, anything.
And so it was. I layered up, and you can too — granted you do these 3 things:
Start with light, airy pieces and fabrics:
This is the primary secret to summer layering that won't have you drowning in your own sweat-pool. Reach for oversized dresses and midi skirts in fabrics like linen and cotton to activate optimal feel cool, look cooler status.
Consider your accessories as layering pieces:
Artful accessory pairing lends itself to added outfit dimension and is a chance for you to up the quirk factor of your layered look. This is your chance to get risky.
Balance bold print choices with a focal hue:
One of my tricks for pulling off bold prints is balancing it out with a bold color. It's an almost full-proof way to look pulled together as opposed to sloppy.

If you're still not convinced that summer-friendly layering is a thing, here's more proof:

We are recruiting schools and teachers in the School District of Philadelphia to participate in a math intervention for 6th graders. The intervention consists of a suite of interactive, computer-based modules designed to improve student math achievement by incorporating principles of cognitive science, such as:
- Perceptual learning techniques that accelerate learners' abilities to recognize and discriminate key structures and relations in complex domains, and
- Adaptive learning algorithms that use a constant stream of performance data, combined with principles of learning and memory, to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of learning by adapting the learning process to each individual.
All of the modules that are being tested in this project are aligned with the Common Core State Standards and Philadelphia's Scope and Sequence for 6th grade mathematics. Moreover, they have been shown to produce strong and long-lasting learning gains for students in math achievement, especially in areas known to be especially challenging in middle school math, such as measurement and operations with fractions.
Teachers will be compensated for their participation in the study. In addition, all participating schools will be provided with access to the suite of learning modules, complete with professional development, technology support, and customized assistance in curriculum integration.
This study has received the support and approval of the School District of Philadelphia and is funded by the Institute of Education Sciences. The study is being conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California, Los Angeles.
For more information about the intervention, the benefits of participation, and how you can participate, please navigate to the links above.
