Parking Charge Notices Appeals
Appeals Procedure
Should you wish to pursue an appeal this must be in writing (appeals will not be dealt with over the phone). To freeze the payment at a lower rate, the appeal must be received at our offices within 14 days of the date of issue of the PCN (it should be noted that all appeals must be received within 28 days of the notice being issued). However, we would issue the following guidance should you wish to pursue this course. A parking charge is issued if a vehicle is parked in contravention of the advertised conditions on property we own, lease or have been contracted to patrol. Please be aware that our signage meets or exceeds the requirements of the British Parking Associations codes of conduct. However, if you feel you have grounds for appeal, please do so within 14 days of issue please ensure your appeal contains the following information or we will be unable to process it:
• Your PCN number
• Your name & full postal address including postcode
• Your vehicle registration number
• The date of the contravention
• Any copies of evidence you have to support your appeal
• Your contact telephone number & email address if relevant
• The final decision on revoking a charge notice rests with our appeals
Photographic Evidence
When a ticket is issued on behalf of VJC we ensure that photographic or CCTV evidence is taken thereby showing the vehicle parked in clear view of a sign and therefore by the actions of parking you are deemed to have accepted all conditions on display.
Unfortunately many of the cases taken to court have been led into the belief that parking charges were not enforceable and by defending a case it would either be not pursued or be thrown out - this advice has come from various internet/advice forums and has resulted in an original charge of £60 costing the defendant at least 3-times that amount, a County Court Judgement being issued and time/money spent by a defendant preparing a defense and attending court.

Parking Charge Notices Appeals
All drivers can appeal against a parking ticket by following the procedure below:
- All appeals must be in writing only (they will not be dealt with over the phone)
- All appeals must be received in our offices within 28 days of the date of the issue as dated on the PCN
Please view appeals submitted to POPLA (the independent Appeals body) by defendants that have been refused
Appeals can be made by post or online (we recommend you do so online as postal appeals could be late arriving in our offices due to postal delays
Or by post:
As of 1st October 2012 you will have the right to a fully Independent Appeals Service, POPLA, you must Appeal to us first and should we reject your Appeal we will then forward the documentation and relevant code for you to submit an appeal to POPLA
Please Note: Should payment or appeal of the Parking Charge Notice not be received within 28 days of the date issued, the matter will be passed to our Debt Recovery Agents. At this point, the discounted charge will no longer apply and the charges will have increased as displayed on the PCN and the signage of Contract when the vehicle was issued with the PCN.
Photographic Evidence:
Drivers should note before making an appeal that all vehicles are photographed by digital camera, which is date- and time-stamped showing the reason for issue of the PCN.
Photographs will be passed over to a specialist debt collection agency and used as evidence in any court case against you.
Please note that we do not enter into multiple appeals

Carlyle Expedition Embarks for England
Led by the fabulously wealthy playboy Roger Carlyle, the Carlyle Expedition departed this morning for Southampton aboard the crack British steamship Imperial Standard. Contrary to earlier reports, the expedition will perform researches in London under the auspices of the Penhew Foundation before continuing to Egypt next month. Readers may recall the enormous party which Mr. Carlyle, now 24, gave at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel upon reaching his majority. Since then, scandals and indelicate behavior have become Carlyle's trademark, but he never has become tarnished in the eyes of Manhattanites. Members of the expedition have been reluctant to reveal their purpose in Egypt.
Renowned Egyptologist Sir Aubrey Penhew is assistant leader of the team, and in charge of excavations.
Dr. Robert Huston, a fashionable 'Freudian' psychologist, accompanies the expedition to pursue parallel researches into ancient pictographs.
Miss Hypatia Masters, linked in the past to Carlyle, will act as photographer and archivist.
Mr. Jack Brady, intimate to Mr. Carlyle, accompanies the group as general factotum.
Additional members may be secured while in London.

What are Ergonomic products?
Muscles and nervous system are sensitive not only to a physical activity but to relaxation as well. Good body posture can prevent pain and extreme tiredness even if you have a sedentary lifestyle. We have ascertained firsthand that the ergonomic support increases effectiveness and concentration during work or makes your relaxation even more enjoyable. Customer satisfaction is important to us. Therefore, the material of each of our products was chosen and tested ourselves. MOSH ergonomic aids are part of each of our workplace.
All ergonomic products are made of high quality thermo-elastic, so-called memory foam, which keeps its flexibility for the whole lifetime of the product. Memory foam is a special type of material which reacts to pressure and temperature causing it to mold and conform to shape of your body – your spine, buttocks and neck. After the pressure is released, the thermoelastic material springs back to its original shape.
Main features:
- Removable, soft, microfibre sleeve
- It adapts to the size and weight of your body
- Zajišťuje komfort a drží svůj tvar
- Available in two colors
- Ideal for longer trips by car or at work
- The product keeps its features even after frequent use

We have not been schooling since I came back from the annual honeymoon trip with Hubs. A lot of messy play outdoors after Mommy's work day but no theme work as yet.
I was thinking about what to do next and decided to follow Tiger's interest. His favourite song for the past two weeks is still The Solar System Song. (Warning: This is a super sleep-inducing song. I have no idea why he loves it so). So, we are doing S for Star and Space Theme next which explains the manic Space ideas pinning. One of my favourite idea was the hand sewn felt planets from Counting Coconuts.
Now, I love it when Tiger learns from singing and he enjoys himself even more so with props. So, the not-so-crafty-mama had to do this even if it destroys a few finger tips. ^.^
Our DIY Felt Planets
Not the prettiest but it's the thought that counts, right?
Jupiter (lower row, left) looks like a jelly donut
I was sewing frantically so that he could have it before bedtime. Guess what, he threw the tiny Mercury at Daddy in the bathroom =.="
Whose kid is this?
Maybe I have to present the planets in a better manner, like a Space Sensory Bin? ^.^
If you are interested in making your own Solar System, here's what you will need:
Felt pieces: From Daiso
I used mostly different fillers for most planets:
Styrofoam balls (Daiso)
makeup sponges
art sponges
plastic bags (for crinkly effect ala Lamaze toys)
bells (Sun only)
cotton balls
wooden beads
*I used his stacking cups to roughly estimate the sizes.
Update: Tiger can name the planets simply because he loves the song and the felt planets soooo much! Who said you have to be Mensa-smart to do that?

The local plan has now beenb published and you can find out the proposals on the following website and make your comments on the consultation document, under Chickerell!!
Consultation commenced on Preferred Options review of the adopted Local Plan Friday (13th August) and runs until 8th October.There are some critical points that people might like to note and make comment on:
- The proposed timeline for any development is 2026 at the earliest
- Access is planned from Radipole Lane and behind the police station
- Various safeguards have been noted for approximately 350 houses and this would provide development funding.
A couple of members of this group are no longer able to help us so we would welcome new volunteers. You just have to give Ann Chard a ring on 785333 and then if the group is meeting to work on the garden in front of the shops she will let you know and you can say yes or no. We usually try and work on it 5 times a year and many peop[le have commented on how it has improved the area.Unfortunately the dry summer has had an impact this year but we have recently started to prepare ift for next Spring.
Possible Development of land between the police station and Southill
The landowners are interested in developing this site, a small part of which already has planning permission, and they have asked a company to draft some plans for its development which involve building around 350 houses, but this cannot happen unless the councils agree to changes to the Local Plan in a review now taking place.
The owners will be holding a local consultation if they are likely to go ahead with an application but feel they would like to know
first whether the site is or is not recommended by officers as a Preferred
Option in the Councils' Local Plan Review. Whether it is or is not could
determine the timing of a planning application and any community engagement
associated with it. We should know the answer when the agenda of the first
committee is published on or around 4 June. In the meantime the recent public notices were to establish what Environmental Impact Action might be needed if they were to go ahead with an application.
An officer of the Council has informed us of the following timetable for Preferred Options consideration at the two Councils. You will note there is a consultation on the Preferred Options proposed Mid-August – Mid-October. This is another factor we will have to take into account
WD Overview & Scrutiny Committee 12 June
W&P Policy Development Committee 18 June
W&P Management Committee 10 July
WD Strategy Committee 17 July
W&P Full Council 26 July
WD Full Council 31 July
Public consultation – mid Aug to mid Oct 2018
Consequently nothing is going to happen very quickly and residents will be able to first comment on any changes proposed for the local plans in the summer and if these move the site from reserved development to prefered development then normal planning rules will apply and so plans of this size would be brought to the public before submission and then residents can make representations to planning committees. This latter step is unlikely before late Autumn, even if it happens.
Residents were rather alarmed when they found the new Central Store closed until further notice one morning but fortunately it re-opened later in the morning after what is hoped to be a one-off incident. If you have not walked past the John Gregory recently please note that they are now serving food again, gradually expanding the menu and the times of serving. Those using the community bus are very pleased with the way it is working so please remember it is there for you and is flexible in the way it goes to town depending on need.
Since the deal with Groundworks has fallen down through the length of time it took for leases to be sorted, the Borough has been talking to the county about an alternative scheme. David Harris has ensured that he has now been included in any talks to represent the community and has met with the county Farms manager to discuss ideas. Although in its early stagess the proposals are not far from those originally drawn up with GroundWorks and we will keep you in touch if they look to be progressing.
At the recent meeting of about 100 residents David explained that no commercial company was interested in running a service to Southill despite all three local companies being approached on many occasions and various options suggested. The present bus subsidised by DCC would cease trading in July as it too failed to meet its costs even though these were much lower than a commercial operation, and the County has cut £1.85m of its bus budget.
However all the completed forms about the buses provided us with evidence of a desire to have a more regular service when more people might use it. The time to wait for a lift home was too long and so many people thought it was better to pay the car park charges or taxi fares. With this in mind the meeting looked at the option of us managing a community bus on our own, as many villages are having to do. We are fortunate in that Dawn Walker, the owner of the P D Contract buses you may have seen parked on the estate, and who lives in Southill, was very happy to explore how she could help us set up such a service. Most community bus developments have to find a way of raising funds for a bus in the first place, and then look for drivers, Dawn can help us with both of these. The Southill charity, SPARK, has agreed to act as banker and overseer.
What does a community bus service mean for us?
- Clearly any community bus scheme has to cover its costs and so we will have to pay to use the service.
- A community bus scheme means we have to "reserve" our seat on our bus in advance and cannot be randomly picked up like a commercial service.
- A community bus scheme can pick up from someone's home when walking is difficult, but more important, can drop you off nearer your home on the return trip as it is not tied to bus stops, although we anticipate these will be used as the main pick up points, especially those with shelters.
- SPARK has applied for a grant to help us provide support for the service as it builds up a routine so that individual charges can be guaranteed.
- The grant will also be used to support a booking system so that this can work effectively
- Regular users will provide a backbone but other people can use the bus on an occasional basis as long as they have "booked".
- Dawn has enough flexibility to get two groups to town at more or less the same time and most of her buses can take wheelchair users.
- If it works we may be able to organise a Saturday service and it should continue in the school holidays
How will it operate?
We are starting with buses being planned at around 1000 and 1200 to go into town, with the 1100 bus still running until July in between. We would assume that this would lead to something coming home at 1030, 1130 and 1230. The afternoon bus will still run at 2.00pm and come back at about 2.30pm until July. If several of you wish to go into town on the 2.00pm bus and wish to come home at about 4/4.30pm then please contact P&D contracts and we hope this will be possible and become a regular pick-up.
If you are looking to make a trip into town it would be helpful if you could ring the day before to book your times and indicate where you wished to be picked up. Users will be given a form to complete when they use the bus for the first time asking for details of your usual pick-up point and contact details. We anticipate using the bus stops initially but this can change. If you suddenly decide to go into town you can still call the number provided and hope there is a space. If enough people ask for a lift at or near a particular time then a second bus may be provided. As people start using it and get to know who else often travels then a group might decide on different times and as long as we are between 6 and 8 people this should pay for itself, but we will monitor this as we will only have so much seed funding.
Starting –up details
To start the service off we will charge £1.50 from Southill and £1.00 from Goldcroft. At the start we will operate at this price even if only one or two people wish to catch a particular bus, but if enough people regularly use the service we may be able to reduce these charges.
The numbers you should ring are 01305 779157 or 07970 016851 and you will need to say when you wish to travel and where you wish to be collected from. This line will be open from May 12th. If you fill in a form with your details on (Address, pick up point and contact details) all you would have to say is the time and your name as all other details will be "in the system". If there is not someone available to answer your call you will be able to leave a message and a confirmation will be made to you in good time. One way journeys are fine for those who wish to walk one way, as long as they are booked. The prices above are estimates based on the bus being full one way so if it is full both ways so much the better! If a group of you wish to go to the cinema or other entertainment then other times can be considered at this price as long as there are around 6 in the group.
Initially the main drop off points in town will be at the back of M&S, the back of Debenhams and ASDA. To come home we will initially use M&S, Town Bridge and ASDA. In Goldcroft Road pick-ups will be at either end or at Thornhill Road.
The Service started on 15th May
Orchard Manager wanted
The environment team would like a volunteer to help us manage the orchard -- the land between the car park and the road. All it requires is a knowledge of when to prune fruit trees and to keep an eye on the trees which Transition Towns planted for us so that we do not let them die in a drought and prune them at the right times. If you are interested in talking about this please contact Ann on 785333 or David on 781660.
Our first daffodil is in flower and clearly there are some more on their way. This first year has been quite testing weather wise and those on the bank next to the car park entrance are clearly struggling a little. However daffodils are quite hardy so hopefully there will be a better display next year. Once the weather improves we shall be tackling the flower bed again. Volunteers welcome!
Planting daffodils
Watch out for these in the next two months. They are just appearing despite the long grass.
We were delighted to have been joined by Class 2 of Southill Primary school who helped us plant around 500 daffodil bulbs in front of the shops and on the entrance to the car park. These should give us a feast of colour in March and we would like to thank Goulds and Wilkinsons for donating most of the bulbs alongside one or two residents. We have added some pictures below but if you want to see more and what the children said about the activity please go to http://www.southill.dorset.sch.uk/planting-daffodils-with-class-two/
Southill Flower Bed renovation
The group has been set up to try and return Southill to the Garden Estate it was planned as. Anyone who would like to get involved on an occasional basis, or help us plan, please get in touch. The first task the Environment group decided to tackle, was the flower bed outside of the shops.
As you can see from this picture we finally managed to remove the tree stump, the weeds and many stones and planted flowers from many donations around the Estate. One or two members of the team lugged water from across the road during the dry Spring and this autumn view shows the effort was worth while. We will be asking for help on occasional days to re-weed, or to plant next Spring. If you would like to get involved in the maintenance of the garden with an occasional flurry with a trowel, please let Ann Chard know on 785333. The team would like to thanks Caviar Place for the free fish and chips they provided us for sustenance on one of the hot early summer days.
A longer project is to make the cycleway/footpath through the estate an attractive element of the route from Dorchester to Portland, as well as for those of us on the estate who walk around it, with or without dogs. We had a day in July when we started work on making the metre either side of the track more under control so that we can plant wild flowers along side without them being swamped. We were helped by about twenty young people from Budmouth college who were involved in a community day and the mayor, Councillor Christine James, came and cheered them on. We also hope to plant some bluebell and snowdrop bulbs in some of the wooded areas along the path and possibly some flowering trees with the help of the transition town team. If you would like to get involved in this project on an occasional basis please let us know so we can keep you in touch with what is happening.
Another of the plans that we have is to plant over 500 daffodils on the banks facing the car park and shops. The Budmouth helpers in July dug several holes in readiness for this and a class from Southill Primary School should help us plant them in October. This should bring the Southill Garden Estate alive next Spring. We'll add a picture showing the bulbs in full bloom but in the meantime the picture shows where they are to be planted.
The area above this bank (which will have its daffodils planted on 19th October) on the entrance to the car park has been planted with fruit trees by the Transition Town project in Weymouth. Once the trees are old enough to bear fruit it is there for the community to eat along with the fabulous blackberries that grow above the car-parking area. Transition Town project encourages using open spaces to generate food as well as look attractive, and they will be working with us as we progress our ideas.

Ben and I had an amazing time on our trip to Scotland and England. He is such an amazing trip planner! We began by flying in to Glasgow to spend two nights before picking up the rental car. This was our first time to Glasgow. We spent the evening at a few pubs and did not have the energy to do much more since we had to recover from the journey over. As for pubs, we hit up The Horseshoe and the Pot Still that night and had our first taste of some whisky to start the trip off right.
The best way to make the most of the second day which was the one full day we had there was to take the hop on/hop off bus tour, also highly recommended by a friend of ours that had just been to Glasgow. We stayed on the bus for the most part to take in as many sights as we could but did get off at one stop to visit the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum and to have some lunch and finally try some beer at Brew Dog. The museum has an actual WWII Spitfire that Ben wanted to see suspended from the ceiling. Very cool to see one in real life. They also had an enormous pipe organ up on the balcony that someone was playing when we walked in which sounded amazing. Brew Dog was conveniently located directly across the street. We had attempted to go to Brew Dog in Camden when we went to London last year but it was not yet open so we have been waiting quite some time to finally go to one of their pubs. Perfect the first one we go to is in Scotland as that is where their brewery is based. We loved it! I really liked the pint of Zeitgeist I had and hope it will be available here at some point. That evening we also revisited some of the same pubs and after much wandering, found the Tiki Bar. How could we pass going to a wee Scottish Tiki Bar?!?! It did not have the most elaborate décor but was nice and the drinks were pretty good. We went early thankfully since it had the vibe of becoming clubby later on at night.
The next morning was the moment that I had been a bit nervous for…the rental car pick up and getting the car through Glasgow out onto the open road. Ben did an amazing job. He went alone to get the car then picked me up at the hotel. We had a bit of trouble getting to the road we wanted to go to but made it eventually. Once we got out of the city it was not nerve wracking at all and thankfully our first stop was not too far – the first distillery stop of the trip, Auchentoshan!

So we presented at the 24th Angel Forum this past Monday. I would like to think that the presentation was AWESOME - I'm glad that it stimulated questions from the audience (so this means they were listening...YAY!) and we had a lot of great questions as well.
We placed 2nd place for best exhibitor and all of that is of course thanks to our designer Hubert Chan. Everyone has repeatedly said that his work is great and consistent.
All in all we had a great experience getting to know other businesses and also the angels. I would recommend that other businesses looking for financing give the 25th Angel Forum a try. The follow up of the forum is well-coordinated and hopefully we hear back from some of the angels over the next few days.
Some key things to note:
1) Angels don't like it when you tell them you need further investment after the Angel Round - even if you're being realistic; I guess nobody wants to know ahead of time that they are going to get diluted?
2) Make your margins high enough to sound like you're squeezing out every possible penny from customers. (I'm sure the investors would feel differently if they were the customers...haha)
3) Deliver your presentation with passion; after all, if you don't believe in your business idea do you expect others to? Investors are investing in YOU - and we all know there's a HUGE difference between someone that loves what they do and someone who doesn't (even if they're extremely smart and knowledgeable).
Back to work now.

To create the book I used a number of techniques ( some of which I learned from previous issues of Cloth Paper Scissors!).
I used a great deal of my own handmade paper which adds a variety of colors and textures and gave me a way to create a background.
Plastic bags ironed together made a sturdy and wonderfully colored fabric which I then used to cut out two of the main elements.
Like most multi-media artist I have found treasures which I love to look at so I incorporated a few of my favorites to give details to the story .
I layered everything together on water color paper frames ( which was also used in some of the backgrounds with textural paint) .
In finishing off the book I tied the pictures together into a story by stitching with a variety of threads including some metallic . The threads add the embellishments and accent the dimensions in each layer of the tunnel.


text: Tried looking through the forum, but couldn't find any concrete information to base my decision on. I understand that D2C chips are quite a bit more challenging to install than earlier versions. Are there any benefits with the D2C chipset, or is it less of a pain to just get an a or b version and for instance a WiiKey? I was fairly updated on the GC scene, but lost in what goes on with Wii. Please excuse my n00bness

Employment relations body Acas has published an employers guide to social media that it says is an "industry first".
The 50-page report, which was researched by the Institute of Employment Studies on behalf of Acas, features sections on employment law and social media, policy formulation and cyber bullying.
According to the report, some 55 per cent of employees access social media sites while at work.
However, this use is limited to younger and less skilled employees, since fewer than 15 per cent of "higher skilled" workers use the sites.
Despite widespread use of social media sites, most employees (70 per cent) are unaware of company policy regarding the activity, according to the findings of the My Job Group Survey 2010, which asked 1,000 people at a variety of companies about their employer's attitude to social media.

Rebecca offers private Yoga, Hula Hoop, GYROKINESIS® & GYROTONIC® exercise classes, personal fitness training and injury prevention and rehabilitation. Rebecca Halls is certified Yoga Alliance E-RYT, certified Level 1 Gyrokinesis instructor, certified Level 2 Gyrotonic instructor & pre-trainer.
Rebecca has traveled the world studying with numerous masters in movement and offers a unique training program catered just for you. She holds a BFA in contemporary dance and has worked as a professional dancer, choreographer and hoop artist since 2007. Throughout her career, she has succeeded in recovering from numerous dance and sports injuries. She is currently studying Osteopathy. Rebecca will help you to achieve your wellness and fitness goals and get you on track to living your healthiest life.
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a unique, holistic approach to movement. Some of the benefits of a regular Gyrotonic practice include a healthier, more supple spine, increased range of motion, greater joint stability, improved agility and athletic performance, and a deep internal strength. Rebecca offers personalized sessions that are adapted to fit the needs of all ages, and abilities, from elderly patients recovering from injury, to highly skilled professional dancers, actors & athletes. Gyrotonic exercises are performed on custom-designed Gyrotonic equipment, whereas Gyrokinesis exercises are performed on a mat and chair. Both Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis exercise sequences are composed of spiraling, circular movements, which flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions with corresponding breathing patterns.
Pulley Tower
The GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the result of over thirty years of research and development, and is the most widely used piece of Gyrotonic Equipment. The pulley tower provides smooth, even support and resistance via a unique, weighted pulley system. The adjustable bench and rotating handle unit can be customized to fit the individual proportions, and movement capacities of each user. The design of the equipment supports the full, and natural range of motion of the joints, allowing for three-dimensional, functional movement, and eliminating the sharp starts and stops where most injury occurs.
The Archway
The Archway is considered by many to be the most physically demanding piece of specialized equipment. The vertical, tiered ladder design of the Archway accommodates advanced strength and stability sequences by allowing users to perform exercises in various relationships to gravity- vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and inverted. The included propeller accessory, and adjustable arms provide standing, and rotation exercises for people of various abilities- beginners to advanced. The Archway is especially popular with dancers, and other athletes.
Rebecca has been practicing yoga since 2001/2002 and became a teacher in 2007/2008 under the tutelage of Iyengar/Ashtanga Teacher Hart Lazer in Montreal, Canada. She went on to study with many gurus across the globe from Berlin, to Prague, London, New York & LA. She relies heavily on the work of BKS Iyengar for alignment and looks to the Ashtanga system for sequencing and flow. In combination with her choreography and dance background she enjoys weaving together unique sequences that will leave your body feeling stretched, and connected, relaxed yet energized. With her private clients Rebecca enjoys working on whatever the individuals needs from restorative yoga to a balanced flow practice, from inversions to standing postures or backbends. Rebecca will lay the foundation for a solid yoga practice you can keep with you for years to come, providing you with alignment information to maintain your body injury free, and breathing exercises to make you strong.
Hooping was Rebecca's first passion. She fell absolutely in love with the feeling of dancing with a hoop in 2003 and decided to pursue her contemporary dance studies with that very hoop around her waist. She began teaching hoop classes and went on to open a hoop school in Montreal, and then later launched a hoop festival in Berlin, Germany & Prague. Now based in LA, Rebecca teaches hooping as a fitness modality. The breadth of her teaching practice in combination with her performance experience yields and unforgettable hoop experience, and you're sure to shed a few pounds while having a giggle or two. Whether you've never hooped in your life and you can't keep the hoop up around your waist yet, or you are a pro hula hooper and you want to refine your 6-hoop-split, Rebecca will help you embody the hoop, and get connected while doing it.

Hey everyone. Minimal commentary for WIBR this week, sorry.
- Two interesting (and unrelated) Destructoid community blogs this week. First, TurboJasper writes about how Persona 4 Golden helped him through a tough spot in his life. Second, Josh Bycer tries to disentangle the legal issues surrounding fan games. (Spoiler: Companies are usually well within their rights to get them taken down.)
- Tosten Burks of Good Sports writes about a super PAC called the Nuisance Committee, founded by the creators of Cards Against Humanity. As a non-American who can't vote in the upcoming election, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
- An oldie but a goodie: Tim Urban of Wait But Why puts the passage of time in perspective.
- Finally, Jose Aguinaga of Hackernoon shows us why JavaScript is fucking confusing.
Somehow I'm glad I never got hardcore into web development. Later, taters!

About this item
There's nothing strange about bodies buried in cemeteries—unless they don't belong there. And when six murdered women are discovered in other people's graves, the hunt for a sadistic serial killer begins before he can claim a seventh victim.
Agent Cam Prescott of Iowa's Division of Criminal Investigation is leading the search alongside forensic psychologist Sophia Channing, who knows the minds of psychopaths inside and out. And after a brief but passionate affair, she knows Cam almost as well. What she doesn't know is that her high-profile involvement in the case has caught the twisted predator's eye—and sparked his fury.
When Sophia suddenly vanishes, Cam and his team shift into overdrive to keep horrific history from repeating itself. But for Sophia, being trapped in the same isolated lair where so much innocent blood has been spilled may get her inside her vicious captor's head—and may offer her the only chance she has to escape an agonizing and lethal fate.
Revised edition: This edition of Chasing Evil includes editorial revisions.

Hilary Duff: Not Having Kids Just Yet!
Hilary Duff and husband Mike Comrie get ready for a departing flight on Monday (August 1) at an airport in Mexico.
The 23-year-old entertainer had been vacationing in Los Cabos with her older sis, Haylie, and her boyfriend Nick Zano.
Hilary recently sat down with Access Hollywood to chat about her upcoming first wedding anniversary and whether she and Mike want to start a family anytime soon.
"We talk about it. Yes, we're excited to do that, but I think I want to work a little bit more," she shared.
"I'm tossing around the idea of making another record, so obviously that wouldn't be very good timing. [But] we want [to have kids] and we're excited for it but I think it can wait a little while longer," she added.

Procedure: Breast Augmentation, round, high profile, endoscopic, 350cc -Rhinoplasty hump removal -Brite white teeth whitening
Laser skin treatment and fillers Surgeon:: Dr Witoon
Words cannot explain how genuinely happy I am to have finally got this surgery done. My name is Jennifer, I have wanted boobs and nose done forever! I'm currently preparing to represent Australia in a beauty pageant called Miss Bikini Universe in October 2015 and I feel with these enhancements, I'm going to be feeling so confident onstage! My friend Claudia had took the jump and went through Claire at Cosmetic Holidays International, she was so thrilled with her experience and I couldn't help but notice how much more confident she became after. Out of curiosity I contacted Claire as I was a little skeptical about going overseas and how much it would cost and if the hospital would be legitimate, but Claire was so great she immediately put me at ease and showed me what I could achieve. Claire arranged everything so quickly for me and slotted me in for the September 2015 group tour, which I felt very happy with as it meant I wouldn't be alone.
Everything ran so beyond smoothly from start to end with all my transport, accommodation, flights and appointments organised with no problems or complications. Nathan from Travel Associates even went out his way to upgrade our return flights to Business when a minor problem occurred. The hospital, Bangkok Phuket Hospital, was the most amazing place I could ever imagine getting my surgery done, not only did I feel like I was staying in a 6 star hotel (I even kept calling it a hotel), the nurses and staff were so attentive, caring, intelligent and I did not have any problems with the language barrier. I felt completely safe in the hands of my surgeon, Dr Whittoon, he knew exactly what I needed and before I knew it I was waking up to a new me. I was beyond stoked with the service I received, at one point the nurses were even feeding me while I couldn't. Once I had recovered and bandages were off I was lucky enough to get my teeth whitened with the advanced techniques used at the hospital and my smile was made 5 shades brighter in one session! Thailand is seriously beyond top of the notch to choose as a destination to get surgery done. It worked out to be so much cheaper than getting it in Australia and the quality of the whole experience was unlike anything I could get back home.
I now feel like I trust the doctors recommended by Claire in Thailand so much that I have decided I'm also going to get some facial rejuvenation done, including lazer and a few fillers with Dr Anurukpaiboon on the 10th of September. I cannot express how excited I am after such an amazing consultation. So ladies, if you feel like you aren't confident and you want to enhance a few things, trust Claire at Cosmetic Holidays International to not only point you in the right direction but guide you the entire way.
Poppy Schokker- Current Australian Miss Bikini Universe.

Every Monday after an MMA fight weekend, The Post's Marc Raimondi will take a look at the next potential matchup for the fighters who competed.
This week, he breaks down the competitors from Saturday's UFC on FOX: Johnson vs. Dodson.
DEMETRIOUS JOHNSON (def. John Dodson via unanimous decision)
Johnson looked the most vulnerable he has at flyweight against Dodson on Saturday night. Since moving down to the new division from bantamweight, where he was a former No. 1 contender, Johnson has been incredibly impressive with his speed and elusiveness. Dodson was almost as fast and is a better striker. He dropped Johnson twice with punches.
By the fifth round, though, Johnson was still humming along like he just stepped into the Octagon. Dodson was feeling the effects of an exciting, back-and-forth fight. Johnson, 26, clearly won the last round and that allowed him to edge out the fight. So who's next? There aren't a ton of big-name guys at 125. John Moraga probably earned the No. 1 contender slot by beating Chris Cariaso last month.
Monday Matchmaker's pick: John Moraga
JOHN DODSON (lost to Demetrious Johnson via unanimous decision)
Other than getting tired in the fifth round, Dodson didn't do much to drop his stock despite losing to Johnson. He still has the best striking and most power in the flyweight division and it wouldn't be a shock to see him earn a rematch with Johnson – perhaps before the end of the year. That's not just a statement on the lack of depth in the flyweight division. Dodson is very good and just 28.
Next up should be another top contender. The winner of Saturday's fight between Joseph Benavidez and Ian McCall will probably be in line for a title shot soon. Give Dodson the loser and allow him to work his way back up.
Monday Matchmaker's pick: Joseph Benavidez-Ian McCall loser
GLOVER TEIXEIRA (def. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson via unanimous decision)
Teixeira clearly beat Jackson with Jackson's bread and butter: boxing. Jackson wanted someone who would stand up and trade punches with him and he got it. Except Teixeira was better. Beating Jackson is no longer a huge cause for celebration, though. And Teixeira wasn't able to finish him, though he had the opportunity. Glover isn't ready for a title shot yet, but a fight against another UFC on FOX 6 winner – Ryan Bader – would be an interesting clash. Bader looked great in dropping Vladimir Matyushenko with a punch and slapping on a guillotine choke in just 50 seconds.
Monday Matchmaker's pick: Ryan Bader
QUINTON "RAMPAGE" JACKSON (lost to Glover Teixeira via unanimous decision)
So long, "Rampage." It was a nice run. Jackson is adamant he will leave the UFC now that his contract is up. The organization, he said, never treated him right. Of course, "Rampage" didn't dispute Dana White's claim that the UFC has paid him $15.2 million over the last five years – one of which he didn't even fight because he was filming "The A-Team."
Jackson wants to try his hand at boxing now and he said recently that "he heard" Kimbo Slice is doing pretty well as a pugilist. If well means beating up on tomato cans, then by all means, sure. He's doing great. Maybe those two should hook up in a boxing ring next up. That would be a tremendous freak show bout.
Monday Matchmaker's pick: Kimbo Slice
ANTHONY PETTIS (def. Donald Cerrone via first-round TKO)
Pettis looked as well as he ever has Saturday night. He ran through Cerrone like he was a chump – and Cerrone is one of the best strikers in the division. Pettis was just on a different level and he landed a sick liver kick to finish Cerrone. There's only one fight for Pettis for now and it's for the lightweight title. Champion Benson Henderson fights Gilbert Melendez in April on FOX. I expect Pettis to wait around and take on the winner sometime over the summer.
Monday Matchmaker's pick: Benson Henderson-Gilbert Melendez winner
DONALD CERRONE (lost to Anthony Pettis via first-round TKO)
Still one of the best and most exciting lightweights in the world, Cerrone might never get a title shot in the UFC. He just can't win the big one and maybe it's not his fault. He just hasn't been on the same level as Pettis and Nate Diaz. "Cowboy" needs a slight step back. He should welcome Josh Thomson, the former Strikeforce lightweight champ, to the UFC. That fight would bring the house down.
Monday Matchmaker's pick: Josh Thomson
RICARDO LAMAS (def. Erik Koch via second-round TKO)
Lamas was a beast Saturday night, taking Koch down and destroying his face with elbows. Koch was a bloody mess. Lamas put his name among the top contenders in the featherweight division with the win. He's an excellent wrestler and so is fellow UFC on FOX 6 winner Clay Guida, who beat Hatsu Hioki. Making Lamas-Guida next almost makes too much sense. Could be a No. 1 contender bout.
Monday Matchmaker's pick: Clay Guida
TJ GRANT (def. Matt Wiman via first-round KO)
It's time to take Grant seriously in the lightweight division. He finished the very durable Wiman with elbows in the very first round and has now won four straight. The problem is there's a glut at the top of the weight class and almost too many contenders. It's the most loaded division in the UFC. Grant needs another win or two to crack into that elite group. Beating someone like young lion Khabib Nurmagomedov would be a good step in the right direction.
Monday Matchmaker's pick: Khabib Nurmagomedov

Abstract/Artist's Statement
The Firefighter Problem, introduced by Bert Hartnell in 1995, discusses methods of using firefighters to contain of fires on grids. The fire breaks out at a vertex, and a fixed number of firefighters are dispatched to protect endangered vertices from the fire. At each successive time step, the fire spreads from burning vertices to any adjacent vertex not protected by a firefighter. This project attempts to find the minimum number of firefighters needed per time step in order to contain a fire. We look at various types of layered, infinite graphs and use periodic sequences of firefighters to stop fires. Our results build on prior research into periodic firefighting on various single layered graphs. This project shows that the number of firefighters necessary to contain a fire on a graph with multiple layers can be less than that which is needed to contain a fire on a single layered graph.

Feeling the Need for Speed In Dial-Up Internet Access
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers.

Many coupons don't apply to what I buy because there are a lot of highly processed foods in the Red Plum etc. offerings.
That said, I do cut coupons but find myself feeling like it's just not worth the effort anymore.
What I'm seeing is the value decreasing, and the amount you have to buy to qualify increasing.
More and more, coupons require you to buy 2 or more, and that's not how I want to roll with many items.
I wonder if the market in general is going away from coupons, dead tree version and otherwise.
I find the best strategy to save money is to look for sales, loss leaders and store brands, but I do have some brand loyalty, and any discount helps.

A wood-burning fireplace is by far the dirtiest fireplace there is. With the comfort and coziness of real wood burning comes soot, smoke, dirt, dust, debris -- even critters! Plus, it also requires constant maintenance throughout the winter -- removing ashes and adding new wood. However, when it is clean the rewards for having a wood stove far out weigh the maintenance factors. So to help out our fellow wood fireplace lovers we will share with you all on how to prepare and clean your wood-burning fireplace.
Fireplaces are amazing to use during those chilly days by all, unfortunately no one enjoys cleaning them either. Ashes are such fine particles that they tend to go everywhere when trying to scoop them up into the garbage. The mess is only part of the problem as the coals can typically remain hot for many days adding to the difficulty of cleaning. Most household vacuums can't withstand the heat to vacuum the ashes and there aren't any commercial vacuums either. The Ash vacuum is designed to handle the heat from stoves and fireplaces while cleaning without any ashes flying around the room!
The Loveless Ash Vacuum is one of the safest ways of cleaning stoves and fireplaces. The entire vacuum is made of metal to withstand the highest of temperatures. The fire resistant filter is so fine that no ash will escape back into the room. Cleaning the filter is simple so as to allow the entire cleaning process to be completed without having to stop and clean the filter. The machine is designed to also hold up to 3 gallons of debris safely and securely. The vacuum is not designed to vacuum up wood or larger coal as they recommend leaving that to burn later. The unit operates very quietly and comes in several different styles that look appealing when left out. The device has many fire resistant plastic accessories to allow for easier cleaning based on the area size.
The Loveless units are the safest and easiest way for you to clean your ash contraptions in your home or office. This vacuum is designed with safety in mind and homeowners love it. No homeowner enjoys cleaning, though this vacuum series has definitely made it a much easier task. Contact us today to find out how you can get a ash vacuum or if you have any fireplace or chimney needs.

On Friday me and the family went to see Jessie J in concert at Warwick Castle. An amazing venue for a huge yet intimate gig. She was brilliant live and not afraid to chat and entertain in between songs, even restart Price Tag when she forgot the words.
I'd recommend her live to anyone as you could tell the eclectic audience were thrilled when the fireworks went up at the end.
I found this picture of my mum, sister and myself on the heart fm website F
Buttery Biscuit Base
So being a listener of Greg James on Radio 1, I have been growing to love this song which is compiled by Swede Mason. It is created using the British MasterChef's judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode. It uses the common sayings of the guys as they critique contestants' food. It is officially known as MasterChef Synesthesia, but it has become known as the Buttery Biscuit Base Song. I hope you enjoy listening, and it doesn't get too annoying when you end up signing it all day….. I like the base… base… biscuit base…..
My Two Favourite People
I found this photo whilst stumbling and thought it was perfect, my two favourite people are Stephen Fry and Lady Gaga. So this was magnificent. I found it on Alligator Sunglasses, and they do have quite a few other amusing artefacts.
Live Fast… Unfortunately Die Young
Dean, Cobain, Winehouse. All amazing talents. All young with amazing careers ahead of them. All dead. Each dying far too young after a life of drink, drugs and most probably anything else they might find.
After being at work and my boss receiving a text about Amy Winehouse's death, my response was odd. I wasn't surprised that she was dead, more saddened that it had came down to this. I adore her album Back to Black. It's so deep and dark, it really was a change in the charts from the usual pop music, and really introduced a lot of people to Jazz and Blues which aren't exactly main stream; and I myself have found some Jazz bars which I attend, probably thanks to Ms Winehouse.
I guess it isn't suprising she has passed away. She came in to the scene so fresh and larger than life, that looking back at photos of her from her first album, Frank, it is almost difficult to recognise her, from what she became. After the drink, drugs, marriage, rehab, drink, drugs, rehab, failed tour, drink, rehab… it really follows like those before her that she wasn't going to escape the cycle.
Of course I wish that she had managed to get her self out of the situation, cleaned up and releasing much more material for years to come, but with the path she took, I can't help thinking that it may have been better if she had died sooner, so we wouldn't have all expected it after seeing her downfall.
In anycase my thoughts are completely with her family and her friends. And I hope that her music continues to inspire.
RIP Amy Winehouse.

Everyone has heard the old cliché claiming the definition of "crazy" is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Although Merriam-Webster might disagree, there's definitely something worth questioning whenever a given person or organization tries the same bad idea multiple times. In recent years, World Wrestling Entertainment has been particularly guilty of behavior such as this. It seems that the audience rejecting an idea merely emboldens Vince McMahon to double down and immediately try again, causing diehard pro wrestling fans to feel left out of the process.
Of course, those same longtime viewers of WWE shouldn't be all that surprised, considering McMahon and his company have been doing this for decades now. Countless characters throughout wrestling history have bombed spectacularly, only for some other performer to come along some five, ten years later and try the exact same thing all over again. In most cases, it's only at the insistence of McMahon or one of his writers that they would even consider doing so, yet that's almost always enough for an up-and-coming superstar to give it a try.
Truth be told, it's not like this practice has always failed. Very rare occasions have shown a gimmick that didn't work at all with one performer bizarrely become a success with another. On the other hand, a gimmick being successful in a financial sense doesn't necessarily make up for it being really stupid or in bad taste, and it's still a shock when McMahon repeatedly promotes storylines that are patently offensive to his own audience. Keep reading to learn about 15 ridiculously bad ideas you won't believe WWE tried more than once.
15 Backward Savages – Wild Samoans, Kamala, The Headshrinkers, Umaga
Once upon a time, good old-fashioned racism was as American as beer and apple pie, allowing countless offensive wrestling gimmicks to populate the WWE Universe and other major sports entertainment empires. A favorite gimmick of promoters in the pre-social justice age was the feared, violent savage. Already a stereotype by definition, these savages were usually dark-skinned, foreign, and barely capable of rational human thought. The most famous examples would be characters with names like "The Wild Samoans" and "Kamala," who now get cut a little slack for existing before mainstream society was making attempts at promoting equality. However, there's no excusing revivals of the gimmick like The Headshrinkers or especially Umaga, who felt outrageously out of time in more ways than one. Even though talented enough performers can make gimmicks like this work, they nonetheless offend more than they entertain, and it's amazing WWE never got that message.
14 Wrestling Zombies – The Undertaker, Papa Shango, The Zombie
Professional wrestling is one of the strangest industries in the world, so sometimes, a totally ridiculous idea can actually be one of the greatest in history. Case in point: wrestling's favorite undead zombie, The Undertaker. Introduced as hailing from Death Valley, The Dead Man struck fear into his competitors from day one despite the fact he was marketed as a supernatural being with magic powers. Considering how well The Undertaker worked out, it's not too shocking WWE would try and try again, yet it's equally unsurprising they failed to capture lightning in a bottle twice. Summarizing the next two attempts, Papa Shango wasn't quite a zombie, but as a voodoo master, he was implied to control minds, while for the second, the less said about ECW's Zombie the better. Unlike The Undertaker, Shango and The Zombie faded out almost instantly after being labeled as laughingstocks, more in line with how the concept of a "wrestling zombie" was expected to go.
13 Outdated Cowboys – The Smoking Gunns, Justin Hawk, Lance Cade
To this day, there are certain wrestling promotions that could easily introduce a cowboy wrestler and see that athlete turn into their most popular name virtually overnight. Whether we're discussing wrestling or more general topics, there's no denying that cowboys are definitely still beloved figures in parts of the American South, plus plenty of other select areas throughout the world. By and large, though, society is pretty much done with thinking that cowboys are cool, and the whole chaps-and-oversized-hats routine simply looks ridiculously out of context. It doesn't help that WWE's version of cowboys seems more based on rodeos than outlaws, with names like The Smoking Gunns basically dancing and yee-haw'ing for fans while wearing big smiles on their faces. Even when a name like Justin Hawk or Lance Cade tried to get a little meaner for it, they dressed exactly the same, making it hard for fans to view them as actual threats.
12 Goofy Hillbillies – Haystacks Calhoun, Hillbilly Jim, Uncle Elmer, Cousin Luke, The Godwinns, Jamie Noble
Growing up in a trailer park and then becoming a certified billionaire clearly took a toll on Vince McMahon's psyche. Anyone who doesn't believe that needs to look no further than his strange obsession with hicks, hillbillies, and rednecks -- the sort of people he claims he grew up around before achieving his incredible wealth. In a word, McMahon finds these stereotypes hilarious and has been promoting the trope since purchasing WWE from his father. Before McMahon's time, there were some legendary hillbilly style wrestlers like Haystacks Calhoun, but the concept didn't really kick into full gear until Vince himself created Hillbilly Jim. In a matter of months, Jim had a whole family of goofy mountain folk to dance around with. Less than a decade later, McMahon did literally the exact same thing, except now, Jim introduced a new family of goofy hillbillies in The Godwinns. In both these cases and the ones that would follow, few people were laughing, except, of course, the man booking them to happen.
11 Wrestling Vampires – Gangrel, Kevin Thorn
Alright, so WWE has tried to make a bunch of zombie characters, and that's pretty silly, but at least it worked out once, justifying repeat attempts. It's a little harder to explain why the company would try to create two separate wrestling vampires, neither of whom made any impact on the business whatsoever. First up, there was Gangrel, who almost becomes defendable through his entrance alone -- not to mention the fact that he introduced the world to Edge and Christian as his lackeys. That said, Gangrel himself almost never competed for a championship, never getting above the lower midcard. Some ten years later, Kevin Thorn and his girlfriend, Ariel, came along when vampires were more popular in the mainstream, yet the results were largely the same. The only difference was that Thorn didn't have an Edge or Christian to keep him in the popular consciousness; nor was his entrance anything worth noting.
10 Evil Fitness Gurus – The Bodydonnas, Simon Dean
With how much most wrestlers care about their bodies, it was reasonable enough that self-obsessed fitness gurus would make their way into the business eventually. Long before either The Bodydonnas first appeared, there had been plenty of superstars who bragged about their superior physiques and workout regimens, almost making the shtick feel cliché. Unfortunately, the main thing separating an earlier gimmick like "Ravishing" Rick Rude from The Body Donnas or Simon Dean isn't their focus on mocking others for failing to live up. The real difference was that Skip, Zip, and Dean didn't exactly have great bodies, making the angry speeches directed toward the crowd constantly fall flat. One thing these gimmicks did have going for them was that the wrestlers at least possessed great skills in the ring, yet McMahon should have considered changing the wrestlers' actual gimmicks instead of changing the performers using them.
9 Plus-Sized Dancers – The Oddities, Rikishi, Brodus Clay, The Great Khali
Vince McMahon's strange sense of humor strikes again, as apparently, the man finds few ideas funnier than very large people busting a groove. In this case, one might have thought he had gotten it all out of his system at once, considering the first plus-sized dancers to appear in WWE did so in the form of a rather large stable. Golga, Giant Silva, and Kurrgan, all technically very intimidating and imposing, gradually turned into fun-loving goofballs by meeting Luna Vachon and the Insane Clown Posse. It didn't help them elevate from jobber status, but hey, it looked pretty fun. Unexpectedly, the idea actually worked in spades the second time around, when Rikishi dropped his savage Sultan persona for sunglasses and new friends in Too Cool, almost becoming a main event star in the process. Unfortunately, future cases like Brodus Clay and "Punjabi Playboy" The Great Khali prove Rikishi's example was the exception, not the rule.
8 Wacky Clergymen – Friar Ferguson, Reverend D-Von, Mordecai
Being an extremely personal and controversial topic, most mainstream entertainments attempt to avoid religion as a plot device unless absolutely necessary to the story. In the WWE Universe, it absolutely never matters what the wrestlers do or don't believe in, and thus, the company generally falls in line with this trend. Generally. At least a few times, WWE has decided to buck convention and attempt to create silly religious figures who love to fight, like Friar Ferguson, Reverend D-Von, and Deacon Batista, or the more recent bomb that was Mordecai. Two out of three of these examples vanished almost overnight, and the only one to last came closer to killing Batista's career than starting it. Every example followed the same pattern, in that fans had no idea why the wrestlers were talking about religion so much, feeling more confused and uncomfortable than angry or invested.
7 Evil Effeminate Men – Adrian Adonis, Billy & Chuck, Rico
A distressing number of items on this list prove Vince McMahon was never the most sensitive wrestling promoter out there. The only solace McMahon can take in this regard is that he was hardly alone, as just about every promoter in history has tried this particular awful gimmick at least once or twice, maybe more if it happens to work. For whatever reason, wrestling promoters believe the majority of their fans absolutely hate gay and/or effeminate men. The first high-profile example of WWE falling in with this trend came back in the mid-80s when the badass biker Adrian Adonis gained lots of weight and started hanging out in flower shops, making him one of the biggest villains in the company. Two decades later, Vince literally doubled down on the concept, making a presumed gay tag team in Billy and Chuck, again turning the guys into top heels, at least in theory. Thankfully, modern times probably mean they won't try something this crass ever again.
6 ECW Invasions/Revivals – 1997, 2001, 2007, 2015
Don't take this entry the wrong way, folks. At the time it existed, Extreme Championship Wrestling was a groundbreaking, trendsetting promotion responsible for countless hours of brilliant angles and hardcore matches. On the downside, the only person who could make it work was Paul Heyman, as no one else understood how to market toward their niche audience. Vince McMahon might be a better wrestling promoter, in general, yet three of his four attempts at reviving ECW all bombed spectacularly, with Heyman playing less of a role each time. The initial invasion in 1997 was actually pretty great because the real ECW was still alive, meaning they had some control over what happened. However, in all subsequent versions, especially the ECW On Sci-Fi era and, even worse, 2015 Team Extreme throwback, the performers looked old, beaten down, and like the very lifeblood of "hardcore" had long been sucked out of them.
5 Evil Teachers – Dean Douglas, Michelle McCool, Matt Striker
Generally speaking, there's a perception that athletes and academics rarely mix, so Vince McMahon's obsession with wrestling teachers didn't come entirely out of nowhere. The first such example, Dean Douglas, almost looked like it may have worked with someone else behind the gimmick, as the bigger issue was Shane Douglas feeling unfit for the role. That said, future examples made it clear that the idea simply didn't have any legs, to begin with. WWE's next educator, Michelle McCool, wouldn't become relevant until ditching her backstory, and Matt Striker's days in front of the commentary booth were rightly forgotten the second he sat down. Believe it or not, few wrestlers found it particularly intimidating that these characters could read and define big words, as everyone knows it takes a different type of smarts to succeed inside the squared circle.
4 Fake Versions Of Real Wrestlers – The Undertaker, Diesel, Razor Ramon, Kane
Arguably the worst tactic any business can employ to trick its faithful audience is the disreputable practice known as "bait-and-switch." Much like it looks, the expression describes when the public is promised one thing and then given something different, and WWE has done this on countless occasions. Sometimes, this is the nature of pro wrestling, with the words "card subject to change" having defined the industry for decades. However, this doesn't excuse patently advertising that a wrestler will make an appearance and then providing fans with an entirely different human being, pretending like they somehow wouldn't notice. WWE first did this with their fake Undertaker, repeating themselves twice with the duo of Fake Diesel and Fake Razor Ramon, followed about a decade later by a Fake Kane. In all three cases, fans immediately knew they were being swindled and rejected the idea harshly. It doesn't matter that the angles all had an end game or deeper meaning; the implication that fans were blind idiots was offensive enough.
3 Evil Dentists – Dr. Isaac Yankem, Jason Jordan (Almost)
Before this entry gets ahead of itself, we have to admit that this one didn't actually happen twice, as WWE was thankfully able to come to its senses for once. That said, the mere fact an idea as horrible as an evil wrestling dentist crossed more than one mind is absolutely mind-blowing. Most WWE fans are aware of the first example: Jerry Lawler's angry doctor of dental surgery, Isaac Yankem. Reviled and mocked upon arrival, it wasn't until Yankem revived his career as Kane that anyone took him seriously. Despite this, quite recently, American Alpha member Jason Jordan revealed in an interview that he nearly went down the same path. Prior to meeting Chad Gable, Jordan apparently had trouble thinking up a gimmick and heavily contemplated using his real-life dental background to revive one of the worst gimmicks ever. Thankfully, some higher-up must have talked him out of it.
2 The Brand Split – 2002-2011, 2016-Present
This whole list is a testament to the concept "if at first, you don't succeed, try, try again," yet sometimes, this maxim has some serious downsides. Of all our entries, the brand split is definitely the idea with the highest potential of actually working out right, but history has proven WWE doesn't understand how to do it properly. Both times the company has tried, the result was a stacked Monday Night Raw and an almost forgotten SmackDown Live. Paradoxically, a second side effect is that the shows are of a quality inversely related to the star power they possess, leaving unsatisfied fans watching disjointed programming on both ends. Last time around, this meant Raw superstars bled into SmackDown and vice versa until the concept was completely irrelevant. That a handful of wrestlers have already jumped back and forth for special matches probably means it's only a matter of time before the same pattern happens again.
1 Anti-American Evil Foreigners – Too Many To Name
Going full circle, the only thing Vince McMahon finds more American that good old racism is the concept's egocentric cousin, xenophobia. For some reason, WWE storylines operate on the idea that everyone watching Raw or SmackDown is American, loves America, and hates it when foreign superstars claim their country is superior. This trend has worked from the sport's earliest days up to the modern era with varying results, yet moderate repeat success doesn't make up for outrageous laziness and a complete lack of originality. Just to name a few offenders of this trope, we can start with a name like Nikolai Volkoff or even Bepo Mongol, continue the discussion with former WWE Champions like The Iron Sheik and Yokozuna, then catch up to the present day with the current top superstar in the company, Jinder Mahal. The latest case was definitely the most damning, with fans reacting with complete silence as Mahal goes through the typical spiel about how his homeland is the best.

DHV is a global consulting engineer in transportation, aviation, water and environment. DHV develops a technology to remove N and P in sewage treatment plants in the form of struvite (NH4)MgPO4·6(H2O) This may lead to more sustainable sewage treatment. By adding MgO (NL GUTS member Nedmag), Struvite is either precipitated or crystallized in a Crystalactor from the concentrated sludge digester reject water. The recovered Struvite is heated to form NH3 and MgHPO4. Ammonia is fed to a fuel cell to generate electricity and produce nitrogen and water. The phosphate is an attractive fertilizer. The process in the pilot phase. Feasibility analysis shows economical potential. www.dhv.com
20110927 Traxxys – Henk Akse – "Continuous Crystallization with Ni-Tech OBFC technology"
Traxxys is an SME, focusing on sustainability in process industry with specialization in Process Intensification (PI). Traxxys presents the NL GUTS Technoproject with the Ni-Tech Oscillating Baffled Flow Crystallization technology from Scotland. This continuous OBFC process features a tubular reactor with a large number of O-shaped baffles, through which the crystallizing liquid flows. On this flow an oscillation is superimposed, leading to forward and backward moving of that flow. Over the length of the tube temperature regimes can be controlled, residence times between baffles changed and energy input varied. This results in a narrower particle size distribution, better controlled crystals, a much smaller reactor and increased production capacity. The results with Purac, Croda and Cosun were presented. There are commercial installations in pharmaceutical and specialty chemicals industry. www.nitechsolutions.co.uk www.traxxys.nl

On October 3, 2016, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")'s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert announcing a new National Market System (NMS) Plan that will implement a Tick Size Pilot Program (the "Pilot") that will widen the minimum quoting and trading increment – sometimes called the "tick size" – for some small capitalization stocks. The goal of the Pilot is to study the effect of tick size on liquidity and trading of small capitalization stocks.
The Pilot has been implemented pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act which, among other things, directed the SEC to conduct a study and report to Congress on how decimalization affected the number of initial public offerings, and the liquidity and trading of securities of smaller capitalization companies.
Under the Pilot, the tick size will be widened from a penny ($0.01) to a nickel ($0.05) for specified securities listed on national securities exchanges ("Pilot Securities"). For some Pilot Securities, only quoting will need to occur in $0.05 increments, while for others, both quoting and trading generally will need to occur in increments of a nickel.
The Pilot will include a specified subset of the exchange-listed stocks of companies that have $3 billion or less in market capitalization, an average daily trading volume of one million shares or less and a volume-weighted average price of at least $2.00 for every trading day. There will be a control group of approximately 1,400 securities and three test groups, each with approximately 400 securities selected by a stratified sampling.
The Plot will run for a two-year period that will commence on October 3, 2016.
The data collected from the Pilot will be used by the SEC, national securities exchanges and FINRA to assess whether wider tick sizes enhance the market quality of these stocks for the benefit of issuers and investors—such as less volatility and increased liquidity.
