Our customers will now benefit from unique customization options of the new platform to meet with their specific needs. Customization will be entail both front-end design and back-end programming.

September 1, 2020
Cover Letter
Madam, sir,
Currently a Master of Wine Business student at the University of Adelaide, I am looking for an internship in the field of international wine and spirits trade from September 2020.
After a year of specialisation in international trade through the Programme Grande Ecole at EM Strasbourg Business School in France, I naturally oriented my curriculum towards a field that interests me: the trade of foreign wines. This year in Australia allowed me, and still allows me today, to open up to new cultures, new practices and to improve my language skills. Australia gave me the opportunity to get to know the wines produced in the country and the production techniques used, but also the consumption habits of the inhabitants.
An internship in the wine and spirits trade would be a real opportunity for me. Organised, serious, able to integrate and adapt easily to any new environment, I am ready to put all these qualities at your service to fulfil your objectives.
I enclose my CV for your perusal.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please accept my sincere greetings.
Yours sincerely
Agathe Coyette

Understanding Mechanisms of Aggregation, Absorption and Effectiveness for DAPY/DATA Anti-AIDS Drugs
Ariella Sasson, Rutgers University
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is still one of the most tenacious killers in the world despite the development of successful anti-viral drug therapies. Unfortunately, due to the high mutation rates of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the retrovirus that has been shown to cause AIDS, and the possibilities of reservoirs of a latent virus, new and more effective drugs are always required to be designed and tested. One class of drugs used to combat HIV is known as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). They are highly hydrophobic compounds that target a hydrophobic pocket on the surface of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT), a protein essential to the life cycle of the HIV virus. The diaryltriazine/diarylpyrimidine (DATA/DAPY) classes of NNRTI drugs inhibit the continued transcription by trapping RT in one of its transient dynamic states. One of the unusual characteristics of the DATA/DAPY class of drugs is their high hydrophobicity, having a strong preference for neutral environments, even though they contain polar elements. The behavior of these compounds, good bioavailability, is unexpected in terms of current dogma in drug development. With a better understanding of the mechanisms these drugs use, more effective drugs and treatments can be designed. Therefore, my goal is to better understand the mechanisms of aggregation, absorption, and effectiveness for some of these anti-AIDS drugs using various computational techniques.

The Telegraph Team
Penguin Presents the audiobook edition of Paths to the Past written and read by Francis Pryor.
Landscapes reflect and shape our behaviour. They make us who we are and bear witness to the shifting patterns of human life over the generations.
Formed by a complex series of natural and human processes, they rarely yield their secrets readily. Bringing to bear a lifetime's digging, Francis Pryor delves into England's hidden urban and rural landscapes, from Whitby Abbey to the navvy camp at Risehill in Cumbria, from Tintagel to Tottenham's Broadwater Farm.
Scattered through fields, woods, moors, roads, tracks and towns, he reveals the stories of our physical surroundings and what they meant to the people who formed them, used them and lived in them.
These landscapes, he stresses, are our common physical inheritance.
If we can understand how to make them yield up their secrets, it will help us, their guardians, to maintain and shape them for future generations.

How to create an effective website for your business?
Website is an integral part of your digital marketing strategy. It can serve multiple purposes, like gathering information about end users and prospective clients, or a landing page where they buy your products and services. It's an opportunity for customers to identify how you are unique and different from your competitors. It can give detailed info about your business, products, and services to customers, and help them make decisions to buy what they need.
With all sorts of marketing campaigns running, like ads on Google, posts on Facebook, blog articles, advertisement banners, all of it drives traffic to your website and brings in prospective customers. With all that attention to your site, you want it to look really good, and be as informative and easy to use as possible. The better your marketing, the more visibility your website has. If the right info or user experience is not there, there's a loss of credibility, as the fickle online customers have many other options to choose from, that may be better. As the landscape evolves, you would fall behind the competition if the website is not as per the mark. And if the website doesn't work on handheld devices, you're already behind. There's every chance that there's a competitor out there with much better user experience, and if end users are fumbling with your website, they would seek them out.
It should be intuitive and engaging so users can accomplish their goals effortlessly. In our digital marketing strategy, we're aiming for shared value. Same holds true for websites. Your business goals and need of your target market should overlap.
As you design your website, take time out and ask yourself these questions:
Is your website mobile friendly? – As the numbers for hand-held device users browsing net through their devices keep increasing, your website must work on all devices and should be responsive.
Does it load properly on modern browsers? – The user experience should be uniform across different browsers for same device types. The colors, panels, and user experience for desktop users must be the same, irrespective of what browser they're using to visit your site. It should look exactly the same on Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer. Visit http://www.browserstack.com to test your site across platforms.
Does it answer all the questions users may have? – Another good practice is to write down all the questions your customers ask via phone, email, feedback forms, or even at your place of business, in a dedicated section like FAQ. All the answers must be available online on your site.
Is your website reflective of your brand? – The first impression is the last impression. Within the first couple of seconds, a user will make a decision if the site appeals to him or not. See if it's reflective of your brand or not. An e-commerce brand with discounts should focus on sales, a luxury brand on elegance, and a digital factory like our on functionality and market use cases. Make sure that your corporate style-sheet, comprising of color schemes, logos, font styles etc. is followed and well used. Consistency must be ensured across the pages of the site.
Is your website up to date? – It's one of the primary concerns of customers and end users – Is the information being provided up to date and current. In case schemes are old, product pricing outdated or discounts not mentioned, a customer may go ahead and make a purchase from a competitor. If there's a blog, what is the posting cycle or frequency? It must be updated regularly.
Are all of your policies easy to find? – As the online marketing audience is niche, they are often looking for specifics. The question is if the specific requirement of your customers is to locate or find on your website. If you're claiming for a service or product offline or on calls, then it's your prudent obligation to have it listed and well displayed on your website as well.
Are all of your policies easy to find? – This includes details about logistics like shipping time, taxes, compliance policies etc. The user must know where he stands in the process.
How does your website compare to those of your competitors? – Are you proud of your site when you compare it with your competition, or jealous? If you're jealous, it's about time to give your site a new look and feel and have a re-look at your digital marketing strategy. You can make use good graces of your professional friends and relationship with your loyal customers to gain their feedback and suggestions from the same. Ask them what they like and what they don't. For no fee, your website would be evaluated by a dedicated professional from their team for 5 minutes and they will also provide you with a real and unbiased opinion.
A better Domain Name will lower you lifetime marketing costs.
Having the right domain is essential. It's how your customers, end-users, and visitors find your site online. It's what you'll have printed on your brand publicity and marketing collateral, like business cards, brochures, newsletters, annual reports, etc. As your brand recognition increases, it's going to be that much more used and referred to.
A poorly chosen domain name can have a widespread negative impact on online and offline efforts.
Relevant – Your domain name should be relevant to your business. Ideally, it should be your business name or at least as close and similar to it as possible. If your business name is too long, you may need to creatively shorten it while still remaining on the brand.
For Example, our business name is Irine Digital Factory Pvt. Ltd. We can choose a shortened domain name like idf.com. A shortened URL is good from a marketing perspective, as it's easy to remember or achieve memorability. But we get more SEO value when we use a keyword rich domains like irinedigitalfactory.com.
In such a situation, it makes good sense to buy both the domains, and simply re-direct the SEO rich domain – irinedigitalfactory.com to shortened domain – idf.com, and then build and focus SEO efforts along the longer domain. You're only using shortened domain names when you're using it in marketing materials.
The more relevant the domain name, the better for your business.
Keep it Short – If you have a tongue-twisting or difficult to pronounce or spell domain name, it would also be difficult for users or customers to remember or memorize it. Instead, in such cases, it makes sense to use a more simple and alternate domain name, that still maintains the feel of your brand. If you use multiple special characters like, or /, you might be hampering visitors ability to arrive at your website. The best domain names are short and free of special characters.
Use Simple Terms – Using words that are difficult to read or spell out should be taken care of. Visitors often forget complicated words.
Select the most common suffix – Even today, the .com suffix is still the king. Most people habitually and instinctually type .com only, even you have a .org or .net site suffix. For example, if your website is www.irine.org, and your competitor has procured the same domain name with a .com suffix, you would have a lot of your clients visiting their sites unknowingly. You don't want to drive traffic to a competitors site, so as a thumb-rule, reserve all the suffixes, especially .com. Some countries also have a geo-specific suffix, like .in for India, the UK for the United Kingdom, etc. Use the suffix that's most widespread in your region.
So after you buy your domain name, it's advisable to buy multiple suffixes and variations to prevent others from registering it.
Websites promote you 24/7: No employee will do that."
Before you decide to do it yourself, ask yourself a fundamental question – Can you as an entrepreneur, afford to spend time building your own website? If yes, go ahead! Else…
Hire a professional resource to do design and develop your website. There's an endless amount of option out there, and it can be a daunting task to hire the one with the best skill set.
Getting a seasoned and skilled web designer and developer is one of the most common problems faced by start-ups and small businesses. But there are a few best practices you can keep in mind while head hunting for such a resource that can design and manage your website.
To start with, we can have a look at graphic designers. Now, a graphic designer is different from a web designer. A graphic designer need not essentially have good web designing skills and vice versa.
Hiring a Designer
Review their website – Start by reviewing their own personal websites. How does it look? Does it appeal and strike a chord? Since you're the target audience for them, and if you don't like their website, they may not be the best option for your organization.
Look through their portfolio – If they don't have a portfolio, that's a red flag right away. Take not of clients and sites they have worked on, have a look at recommendations, testimonials, comments, and feedback they have received for their work, and then if possible, visit each of the sites they have created and explore them.
Make sure to double check the Footer of each website they've made to see if there's an attribution link. If there's an attribution link mentioning a different design firm, it raises a red flag.
Check the recency of their work – If you visit one of the websites from their portfolio, and if that website has been re-designed and doesn't match the one in their portfolio, it can raise some questions. But at the same time, more updated the portfolio, more are the chances of the designer himself being updated with new product features, design practices, and industry trends.
Read through client reviews – You should take written permission from the designer to reach out to their current and former employers or clients for feedback.
Understand the designer's thought process – It's a good practice to initiate a talk with designers while interviewing them. Ask them if they're familiar with responsive designs. What software's and tools they're hands-on with.If they're creating wireframes and mockups, you can rest assured you would be part of the iterative process. If they're hesitant, perhaps they may be taking help of pre-built templates. Using templates is not an issue, but at the same time, it's important that designer can customize from scratch as per your requirements and deliver.
Ask for quote & timeline – At last, you can share your project details, ask them to review it and submit a quotation with a timeline. A sort turnaround and low cost may be tempting, but is not always the best case scenario. It's a good practice to get a couple of proposals and compare them.
Programs and software's – Build your site from scratch using the tools you can learn, like Adobe Muse, Adobe Dreamweaver.
Semi-custom solutions & online web applications – You can also implement semi-custom solutions that are a blend of everything. You can create powerful blogs as well as websites on WordPress without using a line of code. WordPress remains the first choice for most entrepreneurs wanting to take charge of their own websites.. It's easy to user, and you can even delegate responsibilities with its user account management capabilities. It's free for self-hosted projects and supports ads..
Both, WordPress and Squarespace have eCommerce options for online selling. But if you want to go deep into eCommerce, consider using Shopify. It's a time and cost effective solution for selling online.
You can also make use of online web editors like Weebly, Homestead, Squarespace, Yola Silver, that offer drag and drop service for novice and amateur designers.
Spend much time in online advertising and you'll start to see the term "landing page" everywhere. But what exactly is a landing page? What makes it different from any other page? Why are landing pages so important?
Every website has a goal. It could be to capture visitor info like his email address, sell a product or service or to distribute information. There is a definite goal with which you create a website for your business. The idea is to make visitors take some sort of action, or engage in some way with your website, that the goal is achieved.
Ideally, depending upon the audience type, we have not more than 2-6 seconds for them to stay and decide. This dwell time of 2-6 seconds is a win or loss situation for us, as this is when the audience takes a call to stay on the site or to explore other available option online, which can be in your direct competition. The users will arrive at your landing page, take a glance, and bounce off if they're not interested.
Reinforces decision to click – Having specific destination reinforces the decision to click.
Grabs Attention – Most often, visitors will arrive at your landing page from an attention-grabbing or visually pleasing promotion material like web banners they may have seen elsewhere. The banners and promotional material must be catchy and precise.
Frames the information – One the visitor is re-directed to your website by clicking on your promotional banners, you must frame the information on your website in a way that it helps in achieving your business goals, and your prevail upon the user to make a purchase or win him over and close the deal.
Avoid campaigns to drive visitors to the homepage – Homepage of a website is the least conversion friendly page on a website, as it tends to be fairly broad. The key to making your conversion work is to make goal specific landing pages.
Lesser the lines used to convey the goals, more genuine are the chances of it being read completely by visitors. With fewer words to work with, it becomes all the more important to make each word count. This is where you would often need the help of a professional copywriter.
Although most companies place a call-to-action (CTA) above the fold, since your CTA is what you're asking your visitors to do on your landing page, it deserves its own section in this article.
But, before you can create your CTA, you need to decide what you want people to do on your landing page. This is important because otherwise, you can end up with no CTA or multiple different (and even conflicting) CTAs.
- Monetize content and have a global reach by creating highly engaging, interactive and intuitive digital magazine Apps across channels and devices.
For each page of your site, ask yourself:
- Who will read this copy?
- Why are they reading this?
- What should they feel when they read this page?
- What am I trying to accomplish with this copy?
- What benefits and features do I need them to understand?
Use these answers to build your first draft, save it, and then write it with half as many words. Compare the two, and only add back those points that reinforce the goals. To that end, your About page should not be a dry block of text about your company. It should include a good photo of yourself or your team.
"If companies want to remain competitive in the modern landscape, they need their web and mobile websites to be effective engage the user and work as expected, Those that are creating a seamless and enjoyable online user experience are reaping the benefits."

Oh to be a cat, what a life it must be! ours are pretty spoilt but they keep me pretty entertained throughout the day. Here's a bit of an update now that Rua has less murderous tendencies towards the newest bundle of fluff. Indy is growing fast, he can almost match Rua when she slamdunks him and will soon be winning their wrestling matches. He likes to sneak onto the end of the bed at night and squish himself just under the duvet to keep warm – We have such a massive bed its not too much of an issue – USA King size is HUGE! Its a little annoying being woken up in the morning, once it gets light he decides it must be play time and so trots around the bed until someone wakes up to play or give him a cuddle. I guess there's worse things than waking up to a cat purring in your ear.
When we first brought Rua here we brought a small pack of cat toys – just a mixed bag of mice, dangly things, soft balls. She plays with some of them but isn't all that fussed unless they can move. When Indy arrived he fell in love with one particular soft toy – a little bird. Birdy soon became his best friend, he carries him everywhere and is never too far away. He drops him by his food bowl at dinner time, takes him to bed and cuddles him when he naps, he even takes him to the water fountain when he is thirsty. Maybe he needed a bath!
Indy will happily play fetch with birdy for hours, a bit like a puppy if you throw birdy Indy will run after him and excitedly bring him back, drop him and wait to go again. He once lost his bird, we had to go buy another pack of toys for another bird as we couldn't find it anywhere. Indy loved birdy2 and soon started carrying him around. About two months later birdy1 turned up – we think Indy had opened the cupboard, climbed behind the sink and into the boiler area for a nap and left birdy1 in there. Now there are 2 of them, Indy is delighted, now he trots around fetching them both. Every morning they both appear on the bed and he still likes to cuddle them when he has a nap.
Rua meanwhile has a bit of a thing for pens. She really likes finding one and pushing it off any surface. We always find pens under our desks. Recently she stole my pencil and realised she could chew it. I wasn't too impressed!

The carrier cannot deny coverage because of the pre-existing condition of any enrollee in any PERS-managed health insurance.
More about HIPPA
Eligible employees may enroll under Special Enrollment or Late Enrollment, both of which allow the employee to enroll during the year, provided the employee has met particular guidelines.
Special Enrollment
A major family status change may qualify the employee for a special enrollment. Examples:
addition or loss of dependent, loss of coverage by other sources, marriage, divorce. Most other reasons would be covered as a Late Enrollment and require a wait of 90 days for coverage to begin.
Enrolling Family Members
A new spouse or domestic partner can be added to an employee's health and dental plan if done within 60 days after the date of marriage or registration of domestic partner. A newborn child is covered from the date of birth and must be added to the employee's health and dental plan within 60 days of the date of birth.

Best Actor Nominations
Christian Bale for American Hustle
Bruce Dern for Nebraska
Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street
Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave
Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club
Will Win: Matthew McConaughey
Should Win (in alphabetical order): Christian Bale, Bruce Dern, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthew McConaughey
This category is loaded! Each of these performances, as different as they are from one another, is darn near perfect in its particular context. Thus, each of these actors is worthy of winning the Oscar. However, it is likely that no one other than Matthew McConaughey will be giving an acceptance speech on Sunday evening. His role has Oscar written all over it with the bodily transformation through weight loss, the opportunity to play a wide range of dark emotions, and the transformation from a complete jerk to, well, a less than complete jerk. Like so many others, I have fallen in love with McConaughey's work over the past three years. It has been quite a run. His performance is strong in Dallas Buyer's Club, but I'm not convinced that it deserves the lock on the Oscar that it seems to have. Although the Oscar is supposed to be for a single role, if I were to vote for him here it would be for that body of work, including Mud, Magic Mike, Killer Joe, and that one delightful scene in Wolf of Wall Street. Actually, I found his role in Mud to be more interesting than in DBC, but if that's the movie that brings him the Academy's honors, I'll wholeheartedly join in the salute.
Of the remaining four nominees, Ejiofor has the best chance of pulling off the upset, as much because of the movie he is in as for his performance itself. This is not a knock on his work, which was solid, but a win for him certainly depends on the affection many have for 12 Years a Slave and the feeling that it is an important movie. To a certain extent, the constraints the story place on his character actually work against him capturing the Oscar. The movie places a strong emphasis on the fact that slaves had to bury their emotions in order to survive. The genius in Ejiofor's performance was in burying those emotions deep enough for his character to survive, but keeping them just below the surface so that the viewer could catch glimpses of his turmoil. Glimpses, though, rarely win Oscars.
DiCaprio finds himself on the other end of the emotional spectrum. Wolf of Wall Street was about excess and called for a lead performance that teetered on the edge of going overboard. Leo delivered that performance and it was fascinating to experience…if you weren't turned off by the movie itself. If 12 Years helps Ejiofor's cause, Wolf hurts DiCaprio's. It was a love it or hate it kind of movie, which makes it hard for him to pick up the extra votes he would need to win. He could gain some votes of the "it's time" variety, finally recognizing his years of fine performances, but in that regard he could be hindered by the perception that he is Leo, the Big Movie Star, rather than Leonardo, the Great Actor. He could also be hindered by Dern's presence in the category. If there is an "it's time" vote, it could go to Dern who has been waiting just a bit longer than DiCaprio. Dern, though, faces a challenge similar to Ejiofor's, in that his character's emotions have always been buried, not by slavery, but by life itself. Add to that the effects of old age, if not also the onset of dementia, and you have a part that calls for an incredibly restrained performance. I thought his performance was both, restrained and incredible, but not exactly Oscar bait. If he wins it will be a career tribute, not simply accolades for this single performance.
That brings us to Christian Bale. I've seen many comments about him stealing the nomination from Tom Hanks or Robert Redford. I wasn't overly impressed with either of their performances, but regardless of their status, I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion that Bale doesn't belong among the nominees. Beyond that, I think he is as deserving of the Oscar as anyone else in the category. His performance is discounted because American Hustle is "just a comedy," but it is more than that. It is comedy and tragedy intertwined and I would argue that Bale gives us a wider range of emotion than anyone else in the field (except possibly DiCaprio). The brilliance in his performance is achieved through the combination of what we have come to expect from Bale and what we haven't seen him do before. We expect Bale to fully embody his roles, included the actual transformation of his body. In the past this has meant losing weight, but for Hustle he gained weight and lost hair, too. This is about more than adding a few pounds, though. He becomes Irving Rosenfeld and that is something new because Rosenfeld is certainly no Batman. Have we ever seen Bale play a part like this before, seen him become this vulnerable? I'm sure I will watch each of the five movies represented here again, but I know I will watch American Hustle over and over again, in part to partake in the delight of Bale's performance. He gets my vote!

Updating ms access database using vb net what is 1st 2nd and 3rd base in dating
The Data Access Layer (DAL) was crafted in the first tutorial (Creating a Data Access Layer) and the Business Logic Layer in the second (Creating a Business Logic Layer).Starting with the Displaying Data With the Object Data Source tutorial, we saw how to use ASP.
The menu on the left now includes items for the editing, inserting, and deleting tutorials.
While the Access Data Source is designed to work specifically with Microsoft Access, the Sql Data Source control works with relational database that can be accessed through . This includes any Ole Db- or ODBC-compliant data stores, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, Informix, My SQL, and Postgre SQL, among many others.
The sole difference between the Access Data Source and Sql Data Source controls is how the database connection information is specified.
Microsoft Access is a development environment used to create computer-based databases.
To complement it, it ships with a programming language called Visual Basic For Application (VBA) and various libraries.
These two different controls lead many developers new to ASP.

Daily Devotional
The Priestly BlessingMay 14, 2013 - 5:00 am
This Devotional's Hebrew Word
"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace."—Numbers 6:24
The Torah portion for this week is Naso, from Numbers 4:21–7:89, along with special Torah readings for Shavuot, Exodus 19:1–20:23 and Deuteronomy 14:22–16:17.
This week's Torah reading reveals the words of the special "priestly blessing," a blessing that the priests would give to the children of Israel. Even today, Jews who can trace their lineage back to the house of Aaron will recite this blessing in synagogues around the world on holidays, and in Israel, every week on the Sabbath.
The words are as follows: "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace."
Judaism teaches that a person must emulate his Creator. The Sages teach, "Greet every man with a pleasant expression of countenance." Just as we ask God to turn His face toward us and shine upon us, we have a duty to turn our face with a pleasant expression toward every human being we meet. We are to greet everyone with a smile, a greeting, genuine interest, and warmth. In turn, the Sages teach, God will turn toward us and shine His face ever more brightly.
There is a moving true story told by Yaffa Eliach in "Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust" that illustrates this principle beautifully. Near the town of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland), there was a renowned rabbi who would take a stroll every morning. He took the advice of the Sages very seriously and was careful to greet every man, woman, and child he met with a pleasant "Good morning!" Over the years, the rabbi became acquainted with many of the town's people. One of these people was a Polish man of German descent. Every morning the rabbi would say, "Good morning, Herr Mueller!", and the man would reply, "Good morning, Herr Rabbiner!"
When World War II began, the rabbi's walk stopped and Herr Mueller donned an S.S. uniform and disappeared from the streets. One day, the rabbi found himself in one of the infamous lines of the Holocaust – waiting to be pointed right toward life, or sent left to his death. The frail rabbi was sure to be sent left. But when he looked up to the decision-maker, it was none other than Herr Mueller! "Good morning, Herr Mueller," the rabbi instinctively said. "Good morning, Herr Rabbiner," Herr Mueller couldn't help but respond. And against all odds, the rabbi was sent to the right and lived.
Years later the rabbi, now in his eighties, would say: "This is the power of a good-morning greeting. A man must always greet his fellow man."
Let our faces shine upon others and treat them with grace and peace.

Brad is a character from the 1982 movie Grease 2. Played by Matt Lattanzi.
Section headingEdit
He was first seen dancing with Vernon Dickey and another Prep-Tone in front of the T-Birds in Back To School Again.
He was seen as the date of Stacie of the Stacie & Gracie duo in Score Tonight.
His band, the Prep-Tones auditioned for the June Moon Talent Show by singing the overly-sappy Mr. Sandman, which bored Principal McGee, but was lauded by Ms.Yvette Mason.
During the talent show, The Prep-Tones were rehearsing in the shower room, and were ambushed by the T-Birds, who lashed them to the shower assembly. On command from Johnny Nogerelli, the T-Birds drenched their rivals and stole their jackets for their Prowlin' performance.
Brad and the Prep-Tones watched from the side-stage, dripping wet, as the T-Birds swept the boy's division. It could be speculated that Mrs. McGee was so bored by the Prep-Tones' performance, she ignored the fact that the T-Birds technically cheated by stealing the jackets.
Brad and the Prep-Tones were later seen at the Luau, dancing with Stacie & Gracie, dressed in Hawaiian shirts, brandishing red-yellow pom-poms. Later that night, Brad was one of the raft-bearers who had to carry the King and Queen Johnny Nogerelli and Stephanie Zinone in their ceremonial raft.

EP 095 | How to Fix a Broken Brand with Nicole Heymer
About this Episode
If your potential client is not converting to a paid customer, it's possible your brand is broken. Fortunately, a brand audit, to identify weak spots, can fix the issue and increase the benefits of your marketing efforts.
In this episode we learn:
- a brand audit considers the metrics of marketing efforts
- how to create a streamlined message between diverse media channels
- how to determine if your brand is broken
- making beautiful rooms is not a point of differentiation
- six stages to audit your brand
Take Aways
STAGE 1: Lay out the foundation.
Begin by creating a framework:
- Who are you? Look at (or create!) your mission statement, vision statement and key messaging.
- Who is currently buying your services? Who are your best clients? The ones you wish you could copy?
- Who do you want to buy your services? If you could tweak your client base, who would you really want to serve?
- How do you reach those new people while being authentically you? The big question to keep in mind as we move into Step 2.
STAGE 2: Create a spreadsheet and list out all touch-points.
Yours will vary, but here are some examples to get you started…
- Website
- Individual social media platforms
- Blog posts
- Print Ads and Mailers
- Press Coverage
- Business Cards
- Referral Sources
- Google Search for Your Business Name
- Online Reviews (Google, Houzz, Facebook, etc.)
- Networking Events
- Email Communication (automated or otherwise)
- First Inquiry (contact forms, phone call, online booking)
- Sales Processes
- Customer Service Processes
STAGE 3: Review each touchpoint for clarity, consistency and content.
List this on the spreadsheet too. How are you currently doing? Review each touchpoint for the following, where applicable:
- How does each touchpoint LOOK? (logo, colors, fonts, headshots, photo quality)
- How does each touchpoint SOUND? (tone and personality on social media, website copy, online questionnaires, print material, emails, etc.)
- What kind of MESSAGING is being communicated at each touchpoint? (stories that you tell, what is said in testimonials, what you say in your website copy, image selection, etc.)
STAGE 4: Where ever possible, assign a metric to track the performance of a touchpoint.
If we're going to attempt to make improvements to each touchpoint and fix what is broken, then we need a way to track our progress. How can tell if you're heading in the right direction? You need to establish a baseline.
Notes: Some things are easier to track than others. It is hugely helpful to have Google Analytics installed on your website. And it's important to always ask new prospects 'Where did you hear about us?' Again, yours will vary, but here are some examples:
Website – What percentage of visitors are signing up for your mailing list? What is your bounce rate (the percentage of people who arrive on a page and then leave immediately)? How many inquiries are coming in through the website each month?
Individual social media platforms – How much traffic is each social media platform sending to your website? What percentage of that traffic is signing up for your email list? Or simply staying on the site longer? All of this can be found in your analytics.
Blog posts – Which blog post titles are attracting the most traffic to your website? Which ones are bringing in the most traffic through Google search? Engagement like comments? Social shares?
Print Ads and Mailers – How many inquiries did you receive from a particular campaign?
Online Reviews – On sites such as Google, Houzz, Facebook, etc. What percentage of your clients are leaving an online review? What percentage are positive?
Email Communication – automated or otherwise. What is your email open rate? What percentage of subscribers are clicking on links in your email? How many become clients after receiving your emails?
Sales Processes – What are your conversion rates? Is there a point in your sales process where prospects drop off?
Customer Service Processes – How do your clients feel about your service when you survey them?
STAGE 5: Create action steps.
The weak spots are probably pretty obvious now. Create a list of tasks to test some possible improvements, keeping the client that you want in mind.
Address any inconsistencies or potential issues with your visual branding, brand voice and messaging. You may look at the data and decide to focus on a particular social media platform and completely drop another. You may want to tweak your website copy or the design if too many visitors are leaving right away. If your email open rates are terrible, can you test some subject lines that would be more appealing to the client you're trying to reach? Can you do more to encourage online reviews or address customer service issues? Look at each touchpoint and decide if it needs some love.
STAGE 6: Track your progress.
Now that you have some key performance indicators (something to track) for each touchpoint, you can follow your progress, test new ideas and make adjustments as needed.
More information on all of these steps is available at CurioElectro.com
Design Intervention
Nicole shares a concept she learned from Pia Silva. Every experience a client has with you is either a deposit or a withdrawal. For instance, if they are trying to contact you via the website and they get an error message, that's a withdrawal. Conversely, if they receive an immediate response and get signed up for a consultation quickly, it's a deposit.

Destiny Tours, in Toledo, Ohio failed to gain the proper federal permission to carry out interstate business.
An Ohio bus company has been ordered to cease interstate operations following the discovery that the company failed to obtain operating authority from the federal government. Destiny Tours, a tour bus company based in Toledo, Ohio, was investigated for its interstate operations.
"We are going to continue to use every tool we have to ensure bus companies comply with federal regulations," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, in a department release. "Bus companies that attempt to dodge safety regulations by not properly registering have no place on our nation's roadways."
The Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found that Destiny Tours crossed state lines for unauthorized commercial purposes.
"FMCSA regulations exist for one reason: to protect the traveling public," said FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro, on the DOT website. "Company owners are required to know the safety regulations. If they willfully fail to adhere, they will be shut down on the spot."

Slot cars are electric toy miniature cars that run around a track that has a slot or a groove that guides the car as it travels. The slot car's track has a wired control that modifies the slot car's speed as it races around the track. Slot cars generally are models of real cars. They come in 1:24 scale, 1:32 scale, and HO scale models. Slot cars can be commercially bought or you can make your own. Many slot car owners like to make their own tires for their cars with a silicone mold.
Measure out the components of the silicone rubber mold mix according to its packaging instructions. Pour them into a plastic cup and mix thoroughly with a wooden craft stick.
Insert the slot car tire axle rod into the wheel. Place the wheel into the plastic cup. Pour the silicone rubber mix over the wheel until the top of it is covered.
Wait 24 hours for the mold to set. Once it cures, remove the wheels and axle. You may have to trim some of the mold off the top of the tire with a craft knife before you can pry it out with your fingers.
Mix together the components of the mold resin according to its packaging instructions. Insert a new axle rod for the tires into the mold. Pour the resin into the holes and completely fill them up. Let the resin sit for 30 minutes. Remove the tire from the mold.
Things You'll Need
- Clear disposable plastic cups
- Silicone room temperature vulcanizing mold compound
- Wooden craft sticks
- Slot car wheel
- Slot car tire axle rod with tire rims
- Craft knife
If you can't find any tire axles, you can make your own from 1/8 O.D. steel rods.

Apple iPhone leaked
There is a new development in Apple's iPhone plans. When it comes to the iPhone, Apple has always set a controversial price tag. Nevertheless, there is a new piece of information regarding the iPhone which will blow the previous controversial theories.
The most trustworthy sources in the supply chain of the Cupertino tech giant has come forward with new development. According to Mac Otakara, a Japanese blog said that this year Apple is doing something very different with iPhones. In the year 2019, Apple is all set to release around five different versions of iPhones. The Apple fanboys are going to have a hard time deciding as to which iPhone they will choose.
The "supposed" revelation of iPhone Pro
According to Mac Otakara, Apple will unveil the new and updated versions of iPhone XS, XS Max, and iPhone XR. And Mac Otakara also said that Apple is planning to come forward with 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch iPhone with OLED display. By Judging the source, a couple of new iPhones will feature thinner chassis, triple-camera setup with big sensors.
Mac Otakara also said that the new iPhones are going to have a reversible wireless charging module along with a bundled 18W USB Type-C from Lighting cable fast charges. By the looks of it, Otakara previously said that the 2019 XS, XS Max, and XR would sport slow chargers. And the most disappointing part of the these iPhone models is that it will feature a chassis identical to XR. Furthermore, this indicates that Apple will provide the introduction of the newer flagship iPhone tier, the iPhone Pro series.
According to the other sources, iPhones of 2019 are not going to feature 5G network connectivity. So, introducing a more expensive iPhone segment does not seem like the right move from Apple. The present-day most expensive iPhone is the 512GB iPhone XS Max which costs around $1450.

The short answer is that it IS possible to register a restricted firearm if it's never been registered before.
First off you need to make sure that it's a "restricted" firearm and NOT a prohibited one. You CANNOT register a prohibited firearm, EVER!
Currently there is no official amnesty in place for unregistered
restricted firearms. Individuals wanting to dispose of the firearm
should contact their local police (RCMP). If an individual is in
possession of an unregistered restricted firearm and they wish to keep
it, they must meet the following requirements:
They must have a valid PAL with acquisition privileges to the
restricted level.
They must apply to register the firearm online or through a paper
application form CAFC 998. You can obtain the form or do the online
application at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf. You will need to indicate
"Other" for the type of acquisition and provide details- from whom you
acquired the firearm and when. Please indicate Amnesty on the top of
the form or in spot for type of acquisition if doing an online
These applications are forwarded to the registry for approval, and they
will be the ones to investigate and decide on the application.
Note: this applies to unregistered restricted firearms only and not
unregistered prohibited firearms.
Please view the following website for information on restricted and
prohibited handguns:
Before the firearm can be registered, it will need to be verified by an
approved verifier.
Verification can be done over the telephone by contacting our office at
1 800 731-4000. You would need to have the firearm with you so that the
make, model, type, action, serial number, barrel length, manufacturer
can be confirmed in a Firearms Reference Table. You will be provided
with a Firearms Reference Table number (FRT), verifier number and
verifier first and last name. Once you have this information, you can
proceed with the registration application.

According to the Football Association website, 2011 has been a pivotal year for women's football. They've managed to develop a new
semi-professional league, compromising of a whole eight clubs which play regularly in the summer months and they've even managed to secure a grand total of four official sponsors. There's also been huge developments in coverage with live television streams and . . Wait, who I am kidding?
Despite the official ramblings of the FA, women's football still remains somewhat uncharted territory in the minds of many. We know it exists and we presume some people are quite into it, but that's a far as we go. Feminism and equality aside, can anyone really imagine any group of football loving lads, sat round the pub TV with their pints watching an nice game of women's footie? Well, not unless they've got their tits out.
Yet bizarre as it sounds, German women's footballers have jumped on the idea, hoping to draw popularity to the sport by bringing some alternative skills to the field. Over 300 women competed in a knock-out tournament with only 12 prizes – one page each on a new raunchy calendar to hit shelves next year. And it's not merely the amateurs agreeing, as Jullia Simic, international midfielder for the country talks of how she's pleased that women's football is ditching it's tomboy look and giving way to "more and more sweet pretty girls".
But whilst pictures of scantily clad women and balls might give some hype to the sport, as seen when the German team appeared in an issue of Playboy earlier this year, it's hardly the image that women's football needs. By pressuring players in appearing as almost soft porn models, we're inadvertently pushing out those women who may prefer the tomboy look, whilst thoroughly degrading the sport.
Women without clothes definitely do have a place in life, in our magazines, film and general seduction, but notably not in sport. Whilst women's football may not appear to a mass market, it is a serious niche sport, with real enthusiasts and real talents. By simply degrading it to a bunch of boobs running round on legs, just so more people feel the need to tune in with the lads and beer, we're losing the essence of what women's football is really about – women playing football.
Like it or not Women's Football is never going to be a main stream sport, we should stop trying to make it one.

When going to see some friends for a Christmas party in Derby, I decided to dig out the stub of an old idea and flesh it out into a short 10 minute screenplay. It's a story about music and magic and awakenings. With hindsight, it shares some ideas with Phonogram, but I'll maintain that the original ideas for the piece came from an essay I wrote years ago about shamanism and a note I made when drunkenly listening to music with friends. All years before I learnt of Phonogram's existence.
Over the course of the weekend, the 10 minute short came into being. One more day and the second draft was ready for other people to review. I've had some review feedback already and there's a working third draft, but I'll wait until getting some more responses before calling it complete.
…Except there's a wrinkle in this seemingly smooth plan. I was entirely ready put the script to rest until after Christmas when follow-on scenes started forming in my head. The short still works as such, but it seems it also works as an introductory scene to something longer, which is where I'm currently at. A 10 minute short can be written straight off the cuff, but something more longform requires more substantial plotting and planning and hence slower progress. And slower progress increases the risk that I'll get distracted by something new, or that I'll procrastinate by creating a playlist of the music referenced so far. I shall bear with it though, I've had a terrible run of not finishing projects over this last year.

The woven, after many years of accurate researches, is of high quality and it is resistant to the atmospheric agents. The nautical polyester is a knitted fabric and for this reason is resistant and it is recommended for the external use, because it does not make the flag heavy.
The flag is digitally printed and it creates an effect which reflects the frontal image on the reverse side.
The package has a double neckline, a tape and a cable for an easy assembly.
Since the 16 of April 1928 the National and civil flag of Jordan is a horizontal tricolour black, white and green with a red triangle on the left side, which contains a seven-tips star.
The colours are the panarab colours and the star represents the seven islamic verses, which open the Koran.
The country was originally kown as "Transjordan" and in 1946 it took the current name.
In 1917 the panarab colours were used for the first time to represent the "Pan-Arabism", which aimed at the independence form the othoman empire.

He wants to thank everyone for their well wishes, thoughts and prayers.? He's hoping to be able to come back to St. Louis around Christmas but if not, by February for sure.

One of my favorite things to do every year is to assemble a juicy, deranged Halloween mix. This year, I decided to focus exclusively on things released in the past year (there may be a few from the tail end of 2014, but this is heavy on 2015). Focus was mainly on the darker sound emanating from experimental clubland.

We are currently in the middle of Road Safety Week which runs from 21st until 27th of November. The yearly event has a unique theme each year encouraging participants to focus on a particularly aspect of road safety.
This year the theme is 2young2die. It's a reaction to statistics that show that young drivers are involved in a large proportion of road casualties. In Britain under 25s make up an eighth of all drivers yet a quarter of fatal and serious accidents involve a driver under 25.
Despite our roads getting gradually safer road traffic accidents remain the biggest killer of young people. These casualties send shockwaves through families and communities changing people's lives forever. It saddens me that so many of these accidents are preventable. Yes some are unavoidable due to the recklessness of fellow road users freak occurrences and so on. But so many could be prevented if young people refused to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol did not use their mobile phone while driving and ensured that they always wore their seatbelt.
Brake the charity behind the campaign wants to address these issues through education programmes of their own as well as lobbying government to introduce compulsory curriculum education on the dangers of driving. They also recommend graduated driving licensing meaning new drivers build up experience over time instead of being able to drive in challenging situations for example at night at high speeds on a motorway and so on immediately after passing their test.
You can read about the ways in which you can support Brake's campaign here. If you or a member of your family has suffered a serious injury in a road traffic accident that wasn't your fault please contact us today to discuss your claim free of charge with a specialist Road Traffic Accident Solicitor.

Think of it this way, you can get pregnant on any day of the month. If you don't want to get pregnant, use birth control.
MaryannSeptember 8, 2011 - 5:53pm
can u pls tell me what is the best time to get pregnant? is it before i have my periods or after? i usualy have my periods for about 5-6 days, so when does the ovulation begin? could you explain the 14 days thing? is it from the last day of my period that its calculated? is it because of the ovulation that there is a white discharge?
Think of it this way, you can get pregnant on any day of the month. If you don't want to get pregnant, use birth control.
MaryannSeptember 8, 2011 - 5:53pm
Hi Anonymous,
Those are all very good questions. Understanding when you ovulate is important in getting pregnant or preventing pregnancy. The best time or the time with the greatest change of getting pregnant is at the time of ovulation.
The menstrual cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of her next period. On average, a woman's cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter cycles or much longer ones. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the day the last menstrual period (LMP) starts or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 - Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP. This is what many refer to as the "fertile time" of a woman's cycle, because sexual intercourse during this time increases the chance of pregnancy. Ovulation can occur at various times during a cycle, and may occur on a different day each month.
Some physical signs of ovulation include abdominal cramping, an increase in vaginal discharge which is clear and slippery like raw egg whites and a slight increase in body temperature while at rest.
Hope this answers your questions,
Hi Marryan,
thanks for your reply, so if i get me periods and if it ends in 5 days so if i have sex on the 6th or 7th day will i get pregnant? or say am gonna get my periods in another 3 days and if i have sex today will i get pregnant? what are the times that i wot get pregnant?September 8, 2011 - 3:41am

These Instrument Air Packages built for our valued customer CNRL (Canadian Natural Resources Ltd) is a great example of our "out of the box" thinking and design capabilities. The packages include the popular BOGE CL rotary screw compressors. Our customer had foot print concerns when it came to the allowable overall size these packages could be.
Normally, the dual rotary screw compressors in an Instrument Air Package are installed side-by-side. CAE was able to change that traditional design configuration so that the compressors were stacked. In a stacked configuration, the usual concern is that the operating heat from the bottom compressor will increase the operating heat of the compressor above it, therefore, causing concern for over heating issues. The open – non enclosed – design of these packages and room ventilation at site provide adequate flow of ambient air so that heat wont be an issue.
So not only did we overcome the concern of these packages occupying too much space, but we overcame the concern for potential overheating issues. These Instrument Air Packages will provide clean instrument air at a dew point of at least -40 Degrees Celsius and in compliance with ISO air quality standards.
Wood Group PSN, another valued customer of CAE, needed a solution that was completely containerized.
This package, along with the many other containerized packages we've completed, is a perfect example of turnkey capabilities. Our fabrication and packaging facility is employed with Welders, Millwrights, Electricians, and HVAC personnel to complete any turnkey project you throw at us. In these images, you will notice that this Instrument Air Package is complete with lighting, and other electrical, ventilation, man doors, lifting lug locations, and then of course the Instrument Air Compressor System itself.
CAE has designed similar packages to this one that have made their ways across the world to international locations such as Africa, Belize, Dubai, and Mexico to name a few. As with any of our CAE Instrument Air Packages, this turnkey containerized solution will provide clean instrument air at a dew point of at least -40 Degrees Celsius and in compliance with ISO air quality standards.
Extreme Coil Drilling, a long running customer to CAE, required a high pressure compressed air system where the requirements were slightly different to what Sullair offers in their OEM packaged systems.
That said, CAE was able to take one of our Sullair two-stage drill compressor airends and customize the interconnecting componentry, control system, and diesel drive system around it to provide Extreme Coil Drilling a system the met their requirements and specifications. This particular unit is capable to 900 CFM @ 500 PSI and was one of several units built. These skid mounted packages come complete with lifting lug setups and are available with crash cage frames for the Oil & Gas Drilling Industry.

The production and conveyance of animal feed are subject to strict safety regulations and sanitary standards. The closed Schrage tube chain conveyor system will ensure that no unwanted matter gets into the animal feed bulk. The fewer joints or gaps there are within the conveyor system the easier the cleaning and residual emptying is. The solution: Precise manufacturing, smooth surfaces and a minimum of angles and edges.
In the case of fish food pellets, dry cleaning by means of "draining" the conveyed material is sufficient. In the case of transportation of brewer grains or sticky bran, the corresponding connections for "Cleaning in Place" (CIP) provide for efficient cleaning. Additional auxiliary equipment, such as rotating brushes, vibrators, knockers, air jets or air shots, support the product discharge.
Forage grass and cat food differ greatly from slaughter residues or feed phosphates. No matter which properties your bulk material may have: Our carefully selected material, slow chain speeds and the low weight of the chain guarantee transportation which suits the product and provides consistent quality. Simply the best for premium animal feed!
Permanently installed tube chain conveyors can handle distances of up to 60 m horizontally or 40 m vertically. Mobile systems, on the other hand, provide flexibility, e.g. for the filling of agitators in the mixed feed production or the reloading of feed granulates onto silo trucks. Quality, experience and variety – good reasons to select Schrage for the conveyance of animal feed!
The tube chain conveyor can be used to transport individual feed, mixed feed, complete feed, special feed, feed supplements or admixtures of different kinds. These include:
Feed for small animals and farm animals: Feed for fish, dogs, cats, rodents, birds, cows, horses, goats, sheep, poultry, pigs and cattle.Vegetable, grains and legumes: Millet, wheat, barley, oats, rye, peas, beans, soy beans, dried grass, corn, pieces of tuber, turnip, carrots and potatoes. Grains, seeds and nuts: Peanuts, coconut pieces, sunflower seeds, and sesame.Mineral feed and additives: Calcium, phosphor, potassium, sodium, magnesium, chlorine, sulfur, iron, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, and zinc. Other types of feed: Fish meal, bran, mash, brewer grains, pomace, molasses, leftovers, sugar beet pulp, grit from small rocks and limestone pieces, extraction meal, expeller, middlings as well as blood silage or blood meal.
