Are you a roofing company looking to improve your Google search rankings in 2020? Roofing SEO Webmasters can help. SEO has become very competitive in recent years and also very commercialized. More people are claiming to be "SEO" experts and more companies have a demand for SEO. Roofers are getting taken advantage of because they don't understand the process. SEO is not that complicated. As a roofer you need these 3 things as your foundation:
- 1. Roofing Company Website
- 2. Google My Business Listing (with Reviews)
- 3. Quality Web Content
How Can Your Roofing Company Rank Higher?
If you have a website, Google My Business account, and quality web content and still aren't ranking, there are other steps you can take to improve. The first task however should be to make sure that your website is designed with custom codebase including schema markup. Template websites tend to have a ceiling on where they can rank. You should also review your Google My Business listing and make sure it has accurate information, including a direct link to your website. Finally, look over your content and make sure you are blogging consistently. Aside from those things, other measures include:
- Content Marketing
- Link Building
- Keyword Research / Analysis
Roofers who have trouble ranking despite a good website often lack quality inbound links from reputable sources. When all things are equal, Google will typically favor a website that has the highest quality links. Earning these kinds of links can be a challenge but content marketing and SEO can both help. Writing great content and sharing it on social media can inspire people to link back to it. SEO on the other hand can make your rankings higher and get other sites to link to those pages when doing research on a topic. The links that will help your site will be topical and relevant to the roofing industry.
Keyword Competition for Roofing Contractors
SEO tools like MOZ & SEMRush show us which keywords are most competitive. In-depth keyword research can reveal whether your webpages are targeting the best terms. For example, if you have a service page on roofing repair in dallas it might be that more people are searching for dallas roof repair. Once you identify this trend you can begin to implement it into your on-page optimization and content. The keyword volume will vary depending on your location. Since tools currently don't measure volume by zip code there will be rough estimation involved in this process.
Keywords have evolved over time and stuffing a bunch of them into your content is no longer an acceptable practice. Instead, you should supplement one or two instances of your keyword with LSI keywords for semantic search. Google interprets pages in context so words that are associated with primary terms make the page more likely to rank as a whole. The algorithm has gotten smarter and the standard for content and context has been raised. This is all for the betterment of the user experience which is what you should keep in mind when applying any kind of optimization technique.

Taking Back Sunday
This July, I attended the rock show to end all rock shows. The Story So Far, Taking Back Sunday, and Coheed & Cambria took on Express Live! with an explosive performance.
I was mostly there for Taking Back Sunday, and considered myself a longtime fan — as it turns out, I'm a newbie by comparison. The venue was packed with fans who have been following Taking Back Sunday and Coheed for ten to fifteen years.
That in mind, I always judge a show in part by the crowd. A true testament to the bands' talent, the fans brought A-game enthusiasm for a Monday night, rainy day show. Usually, the lawn is where the casual fans sit and relax, but the grass had people going just as hard as they were in the pit. And as for the pit, I couldn't even keep track of how many crowd surfers I saw go up for both TBS and Coheed. When the rain came, it was not enough to stop anyone.
Express Live! July 2018
The stage presence of Taking Back Sunday is always a treat — Adam Lazzara has become known for his impossible mic tricks during performances. This is the cherry on top of an already impressive and energetic show. And, this isn't the only treat for the crowd — when I'm thinking of some of the most iconic pop punk lyrics, they're Taking Back Sunday. "Cute Without The E", "Timberwolves At New Jersey", "MakeDamnSure", "Liar"… imagine how good it feels to hear these live, let alone scream along with other fans.
As I mentioned earlier, I didn't know anything about Coheed & Cambria. Being introduced to them while being front row was quite the experience.
While they weren't to my personal taste, I was able to appreciate the raw talent that inspired many of the bands that I hold dear. Their performance had the energy of a rock show but with the cadence of a story being told. I was informed that they do a lot of concept albums, which could be why the show felt this way. It was clear that fans were utterly moved by the performance, and rather than feel tired as we departed the venue, we had been energized.
If any of these bands come to a city near you, and you want to attend a REAL rock show, I definitely recommend it.

Agricultural Commodity Exchange for Africa
By: Cynthia Kazembe and Giorgia Prizzon
Providing smallholder farmers access to markets and price information is key to improving agricultural productivity and growth, along with food and nutrition security. In line with this, the Agricultural Commodity Exchange for Africa (ACE) has operated a Market Information System (MIS) and a Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) since 2011. The MIS provides farmers, traders and other market participants with access to regular updates on the prices of the commodities they trade via SMS and email, along with its online trading platforms. ACE also has 14 Rural Marketing Advisors working throughout Malawi who are able to provide farmers with daily updates on Market Information. The WRS allows farmers, traders, processors and exporters to use receipts issued from commodities stored at certified warehouses as collateral to secure loans from banks or other financial institutions.
To disseminate the findings of two IFPRI Malawi led research studies assessing the impact of these systems, ACE organized a dissemination event on December 5, 2019 in Lilongwe. The event was attended by more than 70 participants from academia, civil society, the development partners, NGOs, government, and the private sector.
Opening the event Bob Baulch, IFPRI Malawi Program Leader, provided the background to the two studies, which involved: (1) a detailed statistical analysis of transaction level data from ACE's WRS between 2011 and 2018; and, (2) an action research experiment that provided farmer organizations and small traders in four districts in central Malawi with regular price updates via SMS. In addition, field staff used monthly meetings to collect data from the farmers on the sales they have made during the month.
One of IFPRI Malawi's Research Analysts, Jack Thunde, then presented the analysis on ACE's WRS. His presentation focused on the profitability of the system since its establishment in 2011. The analysis used data from 710 warehouse receipts (WRs) issued between 2011 and 2018 to analyze the volume of WRs issued, WR user characteristics, and the patterns of profits and losses made for the three main commodities (maize, pigeon peas and soybeans) traded on ACE.
ACE's WR are used by a range of clients, including farmers, farmer associations/groups, small traders, medium traders, and large traders/processors. Clients take advantage of ACE to buy early in the season at lower prices and to then defer sales in order to obtain higher prices for their commodities later in the season. The warehouse receipts make it possible for ACE clients to access finance, through banks, using their commodity as collateral.
Results from the WR profitability calculations showed that between 2011–2018 storage of maize and soybeans with WR financing resulted in profits for 54 and 63 percent of ACE clients, respectively. However, storage of pigeon peas using ACE WR, with or without financing, and storage of maize and soybeans without financing resulted in losses for the majority of WR clients. These losses may be attributed to both the long duration of storage, especially for pigeon peas, and the high cost of financing in Malawi.
Kristian Schach Moller, ACE Chief Executive Officer, then provided comments on the IFPRI study, noting the complex nature of ACE's WRS, which has evolved in the light of market developments. He noted that most of the WR losses found in the IFPRI study were made for maize and pigeon peas stored in 2013 and 2016. The 2013 maize losses can be attributed to a sharp drop in the maize prices when ADMARC started selling maize at half the market price, while the 2016 pigeon pea receipt losses can be attributed to the fact that India stopped importing pigeon peas after a good domestic harvest the previous year. In addition, the maize export ban had led to low market prices following a good harvest in 2017.
Schach Moller concluded his presentation by stating that ACE's WRS is a mirror image of the market in Malawi, which is vulnerable to systematic risks and discretionary policy interventions. He recommended addressing such risks by designing and implementing appropriate risk mitigation and management tools at the regional level.
IFPRI Malawi's Associate Research Fellow Dennis Ochieng then presented on the 'Market information system and farmers access to structured markets.' This study analyzed the impact of providing regular information on maize and soybean prices via ACE's MIS to smallholder farmers and small traders in four districts in central Malawi. The study examined the impact of better price information on farmers' (1) awareness of commodity exchanges; (2) sales of maize and soybean; (3) sales prices of maize and soybean; (4) sales through structured markets; and, (5) level of commercialization. The study was conducted with selected farmer organizations and small traders in Mchinji, Kasungu, Dowa, and Ntchisi districts, with half of the organizations and traders being provided with price information by ACE through SMS, while the other half operated as they usually did. The baseline sample for the study in March this year surveyed 416 farmers and 78 traders, while the endline sample in September included 399 farmers and 68 traders.
Preliminary findings from this study show that providing farmers with market information increased their awareness of commodity exchanges and significantly decreased maize sales. While there was no significant effect on maize prices, sales prices for soybeans increased significantly over the prices received by control farmers. However, this was not associated with increased use of commodity exchanges or other types of structured markets by farmers. Further research is needed to analyze the impacts of the intervention on small traders and the impacts of the intervention on sales prices and use of structured markets.
The event concluded with a presentation by Paul Cleary, ACE Senior Programmes Manager, who outlined ways to increase adoption of ACE services. He explained how market information was only one part of the services that ACE offered, which also include the ACE marketing school and trade facilitation. Paul agreed with the results from the IFPRI study that the MIS had limited impact on farmers' sales and the prices they received but also noted that the MIS on its own is not enough. He highlighted the need to strengthen farmers capacity through the ACE marketing school, as well as greater use of the ACE's WRS and trade facilitation services.

Professional businesswomen meaning to step up their photos and make their private brands shine beneath the leadership spotlight need to recognize which style developments are suitable for the commercial enterprise environment – and a way to include them into ensembles that carry expert expertise. Do that and your image will assist you to grow to be a recognized movie star inside your precise profession or enterprise.
I never advocate my top-level clients to put money into fads for their working wardrobes, but rather I advocate classic-present day patterns which might be concurrently contemporary and undying. But as a senior level retail govt and your expert photograph and logo strategist, I've carried out all the research for you! Using my today's fashion record you can easily navigate your manner via the branch keep to select your fall wardrobe at the same time as saving each time and money. I'll display you how to invest in what works on your private logo to keep you searching particular, innovative, and contemporary. This season is all approximately timeless portions, structured sophisticated silhouettes, and amazing fabric and shape add-ons that give your 9-to-five appearance a memorable signature that spells success and air of mystery.
I monitor a dozen pinnacle new developments that talk professionalism for every woman chief and excessive achiever. No depend on what kind of work environment you discover your self in – from formal to commercial enterprise casual or maybe extremely informal – you can seize the essence of those trends and contain that style into your enterprise wardrobe to look tremendous as you decorate your private logo and professional recognition.
Fashion Trends to Celebrate Your Personal Brand
It's important to realize that a cutting-edge wardrobe is like a uniform or an actor's costume. What you wear and the way you put on it is actually an extension of your expert brand and every day your dresser pronounces messages to others over the commercial enterprise airwaves. Your garments talk in your degree of internal self-belief, explicit your specific style, and signify your know-how and character. One of the maximum common lawsuits I pay attention from clients earlier than they work with me is they appear to be everyone else inside the same healthy or cookie cutter outfit. But I realize that they simply lack the information of a way to leverage fashion tendencies – no longer fads – to cause them to specific and remarkable so they'll stick out from competitors in a dynamic and positive way. Your head to toe appearance tells the story of your logo via a visible narrative. So it's essential that the tale you are telling is one which others will examine as an engaging and convincing "Celebrity with Credibility" news flash.
Fall into Neutral Colors with Grey and Camel
This season no expert can go incorrect carrying shades of wealthy heather gray or camel of their business suits, jackets, skirts, pants, dress coats, and accessories. Look to include these tones with a suede pump, a quilted Chanel bag, or in monochromatic tones to speak you are a conventional-fashionable girl. I love the streamlined silhouette appearance this is accomplished with the aid of dressing in monochromatic tones of either gray or camel from head to toe. Wear the same primary tones in a wool coat, sweater, trousers, belt, and footwear or boots for those business casual days. But be sure to add some wealthy texture to this appearance – otherwise, it is able to seem boring. A suede belt or footwear might without difficulty do the trick. You also can appear to combine and healthy those tones of camel and gray collectively. With a charcoal grey fit, as an instance, opt for a camel and grey print silk blouse that provides some feminine interest on your energy fit.
Who Wears the Pants Now?
This season, it is all about the pant fit and you will see many patterns similar to the menswear silhouettes from yesteryear. But it takes a real woman to decorate the appearance with some strategically powerful female info. Do that and you'll dramatically modernize your appearance from head to head – and you'll be geared up to compete effectively even as going toe-to-toe with male counterparts in any business setting. A terrific feminine shirt or shoes is one simple but effective manner to add ladylike fashion and beauty to the design profile of the traditional guys' uniform – the strong suit.
The Statement Jacket – Your Quintessential Go-To Item
Every expert woman is aware of that when she desires to gracefully glide up the company ladder or entice extra elite shoppers, some statement jackets will empower her paintings cloth wardrobe. This season the announcement jacket is ready sophisticated, established silhouettes made from outstanding fabric with a touch of texture like brocade, tweed, boiled wool, tropical wool, or cotton. Anchor your wardrobe with present-day patterns like collarless, asymmetrical zip, peplum, 2-button, ruffle trim, or shawl collar patterns. Every woman leader wishes to exude trustworthiness, energy, and confidence – and declaration jackets that you may coordinate with numerous professional skirts and pants to multiply your ensemble possibilities are the answer this autumn.
Beautiful Feminine Details
You will see beautifully refined dressy blouses and shirts in fabric like crepe, satin, sateen, silk georgette, metal, and silk charmeuse this fall. So you may have the best of each world by using powerfully showing your softer facet. The style cognizance is on displaying off the satisfactory information of this season's blouses, high up at the neckline. Those include expert put on patterns that have, as an instance, a draped cover neckline, a subtle neck chain element, ruffles on collars and down via the torso, pin tucking details, small neckties, and pleated spherical necklines.
The "It Dress" Refined for Fall
One high-quality gain that ladies leaders have that our male colleagues do not is the power to wear easy alternatives like a brilliant get dressed. This season the "It get dressed" styles are sheath attire with both a break up neck or a knot tie at the shoulder; attire with any type of neckline information; stable darkish impartial knit clothes; wrap style jersey knit attire in an array of colourful prints; trench shirt attire; Pointe knits with princess seams; belted sheath clothes, or easy styles with peplum information. All of the cutting-edge styles might be ladylike and nipped in on the waist, giving simply the trace of a waistline. Shop for high priced fabrics and unexpected prints – because whilst you only put on one item it wishes to mix great best, texture, an element to make it a stand-alone look you could put on to work.
The New Trousers
Pants this season will be sleek, long, and lean – with a menswear-stimulated look in instantly or pencil leg styles. That kind of design lets the entirety else in your top torso do the talking and instantly helps to balance out your proportions. Once more you can not go wrong with hues like camel or gray to spherical out your wardrobe. There isn't a girl's frame type on this earth that doesn't look appropriate in immediately reduce pants! I usually suggest to my customers that if they ever discover a pair of pants that fits their frame kind they can purchase them in numerous neutral shades to without difficulty appearance polished in each enterprise casual environment. With the brand new menswear styles be sure to put on an excessive heel because on the way to make contributions a more feminine sense to those in any other case alternatively masculine fabric and cuts.

In some motor vehicle accidents, the important questions are easy to answer. For example, when witnesses or videotapes show one car driving through a red light and hitting another car, it is simple to prove that the first driver is responsible for what happened. Other cases are not as clear and it can take an experienced and resourceful advocate to determine what went wrong and who is to blame.
A recent motorcycle accident that occurred near Fremont could serve as an example of the latter type of case. After apparently losing control of his motorcycle, the victim crossed into oncoming traffic where he was struck by semi-truck. At first glance, observers might assume that the motorcyclist caused his own injuries. However, the actual facts could be much more complicated.
For example, because motorcyclists are so vulnerable and exposed, any negligent mistake by a nearby car can force motorcycles to take dangerous evasive action to avoid a crash. Situations like this can easily result in serious injuries for motorcyclists – while the driver who caused the emergency speeds away, oblivious to the consequences of his or her mistake.
In complicated motor vehicle injury cases like this, it is important to consult with an experienced personal injury law firm.

longer tables!
This Facebook post is a perfect illustration of my philosophy. Life is not about hording and keeping what we have received. Life in all its fullness only comes through being open and generous. Caring, sharing and giving makes life worthwhile.
A truly thankful heart is one that wants others the enjoy the same gifts we have received. Sharing, even a meager crust, is far better than eating a banquet alone. We don't need thicker walls and taller fences. We need longer tables.
begging like Buddha
The poor and the hungry do not need our charity. They need, and they deserve, justice. Every hungry person, every poor person we meet offers us the opportunity to reflect the love of Christ.
We live in a world that has grown much colder and much darker. Reaching our in mercy and compassion to the poor shines the light of hope for our society. The "least of these among us" offer us redemption. All we have to do is take it.

active compassion
a prayer for the rich
God of mercy and justice, we praise you this perfect day for all the gifts you have given your children. We glorify your name for your sustaining grace and the everlasting love poured so freely into our lives. You have given us so much, and for everything we have and all that we are, we give you our thanks.
Our prayer this morning is for the grace to more fully respond to the love and grace you have first given us. Help us always remember, and always be aware that all we have comes from you.
We have been so richly blessed with material abundance. We have financial wealth unimaginable by most of our human family. We take solid shelter and good homes for granted in a world teeming with refugees and the homeless. Food security is never an issue for our families Instead, we complain about variety and search out ever newer and exotic meals. We spend without thought, and eat to excess in a world full of poor and hungry.
Forgive us, Lord, for our thoughtlessness. Forgive us for our lack of awareness. Forgive us for our continued misuse of the gifts so freely bestowed upon us. Forgive us for our lack of caring… and our lack of sharing.
Lord, open our eyes so that we might see our world through your eyes. Grant us compassion deep enough to bring us to our knees in true empathy with those of our family chained by poverty and hunger. Grant us the miracle-working power of your Holy Spirit to lift us above our self-centeredness, our selfishness and fears so that we might love the least of these among us enough to open ourselves fully enough to share not only all we have…but all we are. Lord, teach us this morning how to be generous, and to give as you have first given to us.
Grant us more generous hearts. Help us more fully reflect your love through our caring and our sharing. And let all we have been given be used to glorify you. Amen
a prayer for world peace
A Prayer for World Peace
by Jane Goodall
|We pray to the great Spiritual Power in which
we live and move and have our being.
We pray that we may at all times
keep our minds open to new ideas and shun dogma;
that we may grow in our understanding of the nature of all living beings
and our connectedness with the natural world;
that we may become ever more filled with
generosity of spirit and true compassion and love for all life;
that we may strive to heal the hurts that we have inflicted on nature
and control our greed for material things, knowing that
our actions are harming our natural world and the future of our children;
that we may value each and every human being
for who he is, for who she is,
reaching to the spirit that is within,
knowing the power of each individual to change the world.We pray for social justice,
for the alleviation of the crippling poverty
that condemns millions of people around the world
to lives of misery – hungry, sick, and utterly without hope.
We pray for the children who are starving,
who are condemned to homelessness, slave labor, and prostitution,
and especially for those forced to fight, to kill and torture
even members of their own family.
We pray for the victims of violence and war,
for those wounded in body and for those wounded in mind.
We pray for the multitudes of refugees, forced from their homes to alien places
through war or through the utter destruction of their environment.We pray for suffering animals everywhere,
for an end to the pain caused by scientific experimentation,
intensive farming, fur farming, shooting, trapping,
training for entertainment, abusive pet owners,
and all other forms of exploitation
such as overloading and overworking pack animals,
bull fighting, badger baiting, dog and cock fighting and so many more.We pray for an end to cruelty,
whether to humans or other animals,
for an end to bullying, and torture in all its forms.
We pray that we may learn the peace that comes with forgiving
and the strength we gain in loving;
that we may learn to take nothing for granted in this life;
that we may learn to see and understand with our hearts;
that we may learn to rejoice in our being.We pray for these things with humility;
We pray because of the hope that is within us,
and because of a faith in the ultimate triumph of the human spirit;
We pray because of our love for Creation, and because of our trust in God.
We pray, above all, for peace throughout the world.
life-saving lemonade
Tom Berlin is the senior pastor of Floris UMC in Herndon, Virginia. He is also a close friend who is one of the most mission-minded church leaders I know. This is a recent article on a new United Methodist Church iniative here in Virginia.
When life gives you lemons …
By the Rev. Tom Berlin
I never thought when I entered ministry that the Virginia Annual Conference would encourage us to start lemonade stands. Start new churches, yes. Start new ministries, okay. But lemonade stands?
But I think this plan from the folks who are leading the Imagine No Malaria initiative in Virginia is a great idea for many reasons. Let me share a few:
- It involves kids and those who care for them. Kids like helping people, and they like the opportunity to run things that make a real difference in ways you can count. When their efforts give them an opportunity to be generous with the funds they have earned, they are truly empowered to bless others. At Floris UMC we have challenged the kids by telling them that the church will double every dollar that they raise. Their leadership will have twice the impact!
- I like buying lemonade from kids. I think if you drive past a kid in at a lemonade stand and don't stop, you are just a bad American. When you give a kid a dime or a quarter for a cup of lemonade, they get very excited and all official business on you. I just get a kick out of it.
- It gives people who don't go to our churches an opportunity to be generous, and generosity is good for the soul. Picture the smiling adult plunking down their quarter for the lemonade – the kid is smiling, the adult is smiling, the adult helping the kid is smiling. Now imagine that kid saying, thanks, all the proceeds from our lemonade stand go to fight malaria. You can read about it right here.The customer reads about Imagine No Malaria and realizes what a great thing this kid is doing selling lemonade for a good cause. That spurs generosity. It is not coerced or guilt-ridden. It is the kind of joyful generosity that helps people sleep better at night knowing they have been about good in the world. So often people want to do the right thing, and just need a good opportunity.
- Kids at Floris are going to hand out invitations to attend our church along with information about malaria. I can't think of a better advertisement for the UMC than children who know about the world beyond their community, serve those who suffer from a terrible disease and are a part of a church excited about their efforts. I hope we have kids in every neighborhood in our area offering lemonade and telling those who stop about what we are doing to relieve the suffering of malaria. Think of how that will change the way many people think about the church.
Finally, I am excited because I travel to Sierra Leone, Africa, on a fairly regular basis and know people who routinely suffer from malaria, which is debilitating and can lead to tragic deaths. The money raised in Virginia and shared with our church in Africa matters. These lemonade stands aren't just some new gimmick. They are a means of grace to pay for bed nets, medications and training that will save lives. And that, friends, is one sweet deal.

Online Dating Exploited..
Many go to it to find their signficant other, some may go to it to try to find a friend hoping for it to go further into a relationship.
But over the course of time now, online dating has become the go to thing in many Americans' lives today that seek companionship.
So can it be so bad that people are just looking for a connection in their life, or just wanting someone to listen to them and they exchange conversations about a interesting topic over a cup of Sanka decaf coffee LOL.
Not really doesn't seem harmful, but someone seems to think that they are fed-up with it in some way or another.
A few months ago someone had taken it upon themselves to hack into the popular dating site Cupid Media, which is a known site for
singles looking to hook-up for a date.
The hacked info that was breach was anything from the users' passwords, to their e-mail addresses & date of birth details.
Two popular sites that are under Cupid Media (BrazilianCupid.com & AsianDating.com), were breached by hackers.
And the total number of breach encounters to people's personal information of those sites came out to 42 million…
Yea that has got to be a record. Yes?
It is getting very hairy now with all of the hacking that goes on the net, and one way that could be a solution is that people just change their passwords every few weeks or so.
But who in the h**l wants to do such a thing everytime they go to login into their accounts on whatever site..
That just sounds very taxing, and a waste of precious time.
Another problem is that most online providers, or companies online that have their online business set-up though websites usually operate their login & password / user name on some type of a cryptographic hash that operates the user name & password feature.
They are programmed to whatever password or user name you are going to make-up to be used in order to access the site itself.
Facebook had a similar run in about a security breach into people's personal login information, so what can be done about this problem or privacy that can be taken away in a heartbeat by anyone at anytime?..
Great question asked right there, so when are this social media sites are going to have to step it up a notch, and really try to prevent
situations like that from happening to users that get on their social media site.
Maybe this story might turn a few heads, and crank some ideals out that could turn into a winning solution for those who like their private information to stay well.. PRIVATE!
Oh yea just a quick tip reminder.. Don't use passwords like "11111" or "123456", "abcd123auntiejackyjones" they are too commonly picked out by hackers, and if you do use them you're just screwing yourself into a s**t load of misery as a result so don't go there..

Got a broken dome light lens or door panel light in your SVT Ford Lightning? Some of the more popular examples of general lighting options are wall and ceiling mounted fixtures. For one thing, the body of the light is completely encased, concealing the electronics inside to manage voltage settings for LED lighting. Interior design track lighting presents different options, both for the track and the light fixtures themselves. The front trunk (frunk) has just one interior light right at the front of the frunk making it slightly more difficult to access just because of the angle in which your body is positioned when facing the car.
Sidewall panel designs have tended in the past to use direct lighting that radiates from above the sidewall and washes down along the panel, and also typically incorporate oval shaped windows. Decorate the walls of room with accent lighting so that you can highlight the objects on walls. You may want to contact a qualified interior designer to discuss what would work best in your particular situation. Another major development in the field of interior decoration and design is the change in the way many people are using lighting fixtures in their kitchens and dining rooms. I have checked the box that turns on the lighting family ( Table Lamp – Hemisheric 60W-120V) and have set lighting scheme for exterior sun and artificial lights.
You would use the interior lighting for a great period of time, almost throughout the day, and in some places, all throughout the night also. The first thing that you need to know is what type of interior lighting fixtures you are actually shopping for. Last, safety when designing light in a space should be looked at. Lighting towards and exit or window helps a person see if an emergency should happen.
For example, reading poor-quality reproductions may require task lighting levels up to 1500 lux (150 footcandles ), and some inspection tasks or surgical procedures require even higher levels. Light Color spectrum is one of important aspect in interior lighting design, because it delivers particular color effects against objects. For the purposes of this demonstration, I'll be using Voodoo's free Sci-fi wall kit. I've increased the wattage on the lights to such a high level (1000 -1500w) to get the interior space to be lit. When the sphere is roll around the lightning rod it forms and inverted funnel as shows de next figure. There are a variety of ways in which lighting can be implemented in a room to create beautiful interiors. The lighting arrangement is quite unique with the fixtures making the entire design look stylish. The lighting in a room either provides illumination for the entirety of the room, or it highlights very specific elements.
An essential guide for architects, contractors, builders, and designers who already know the basics of SketchUp and are looking to create stunning presentations to visualize their ideas with their clients. When a Lightning takes place it drains the negative charge of the cloud, it can occur a several times in a row, that why sometimes it looks like blinking in the sky.

According to the Thyroid Federation International over 300 million individuals have a thyroid hormone imbalance, occurring predominantly in women, who are completely unaware they have an imbalance. This is unfortunate as thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy can have very devastating effects on the health of an unborn baby. When thyroid hormone levels are either too high or low, the baby's psychomotor skills, cognitive function, and brain development can be severely affected.
Thyroid hormone imbalance also affects the mother during her pregnancy. Hair loss, morning sickness, fatigue, or the chance of experiencing depression may be increased when thyroid function is compromised.
How Does Thyroid Dysfunction Cause Infertility?
Women with low thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism) are much more likely to have problems getting pregnant or maintaining a pregnancy after conception. The TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and TRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone) are kicked into action when thyroid hormone levels fall too low. TRH is produced by the hypothalamus and stimulates the pituitary gland to release TSH. Infertility occurs because TRH is also responsible for stimulating the pituitary to release prolactin. Prolactin is responsible for promoting lactation but also interferes with the ovulation process. The increased prolactin levels prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg each month, sometimes skipping months before the release of another egg. This inconsistency can make it nearly impossible to get pregnant.
Thyroid hormones are also responsible for the health of the your uterine lining. Overproduction of thyroid hormones increase the body's metabolism of sex hormones such as estrogen, preventing a healthy uterine lining from developing. A weakened uterine lining interferes with the implantation of a fertilized egg and does not support a nurturing environment for a fetus to grow.
How Does Thyroid Dysfunction Affect the Fetus?
Low thyroid hormone levels prior to becoming pregnant, or developed during pregnancy, can have a profound effect on an unborn baby's brain development. For the first 12 weeks in utero, the baby relies on the thyroid function of its mother to nurture and promote healthy development. Fetal thyroid development or function does not occur until the third month of pregnancy.
Many studies have shown that low thyroid hormone is responsible for the misplacement of neurons in the developing brain of a fetus. When neurons are misplaced in the brain, IQ is significantly lowered, and cognitive function and psychomotor skills are affected as well.
A woman with overactive thyroid hormone levels can increase the baby's heart rate in utero. Overactive hormones also increase the level of TSH antibodies produced and transferred to the baby through the placenta. Increased levels of TSH antibodies may cause goiter or bone abnormalities to develop in the fetus, and lower birth weight as well. The result of imbalanced hormones can affect the health of your baby!
What to do Before Becoming Pregnant
Women who are aware they have hypothyroid or hyperthyroid issues should be properly treated and have stabilized thyroid hormone levels before deciding to become pregnant. It will also be very important to check your thyroid hormones frequently during your pregnancy to maintain adequate levels needed for you and your baby's health.
It is very important for all women to talk to their thyroid doctor and get their hormone levels checked frequently, especially before deciding to become pregnant. Awareness of your thyroid function before and during pregnancy will increase your chances of becoming pregnant, prevent miscarriages from occurring, and most importantly provide your baby with the ability to develop an awesome mind and body!

About the Serial Volume Editor
Sven Bestmann
Dr Bestmann's research interests are centered around action control, and how our brain makes decisions that ultimately lead to controlled movements. He has approached this question using a combination of different research techniques with complementary strengths, including functional neuroimaging, electrophysiology, psychophysics, computational modeling, pharmacology, and neurostimulation.
One prominent research activity throughout his career has been the use of interventional approaches to study brain-behaviour relationships. He has a long-standing interest in using non-invasive brain stimulation, and its combination with complementary research approaches such as functional neuroimaging. Recently, the research interest has included the use of computational models to understand the specific processes targeted by various neurostimulation techniques. He has recently coined the term computational neurostimulation, to describe this approach of using computational modeling to study the behavioural consequences of non-invasive brain stimulation.
He is a Reader in Motor Neuroscience at the Sobell Department, UCL. His research has been supported by major funding sources, such as the European Research Council, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), and Wellcome Trust. He is a Board member and Chair of Life Science domain of the Young Academy of Europe.

Carolyn's Online Magazine (#COMe)
Police arrested (two) Plum High School teachers in February (2015) on charges of having sexual contact with students…An Allegheny County grand jury is investigating whether teachers at Plum High School abused as many as eight female students over as many as eight years and that school officials kept it quiet…(published May 19, 2015).
A pastor accused of having indecent contact with an 11-year-old girl is dealing with new allegations of sexual assault… State police on Friday charged Ray Scott Teets, 66, of South Union with indecent assault stemming from incidents in 1999, 2005 and 2013, according to online court records. (published Feb. 4, 2014)
… police on Jan. 31 (2014) charged…a longtime (Avonworth School District, Ben Avon, Pa) teacher (with) sexual assault…rape, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault and other crimes…The victim told police that Street had begun assaulting her when she was 10 and the assaults continued for years…(2014)
The enhancement in background checks, on the surface, would seem to be an initial step in stopping child abusers from entering systems where they deal with children…
Unfortunately, as we have seen far too often, the perpetrator of crimes against children often does not have a criminal history and therefore would not be "red-flagged" by a background check…Simply stated, background checks are a poor indicator of who has been, who is or who will become a child abuser.
The above is an excerpt from a letter to the editor Background checks' weakness* published May 28, 2015, written by George Aul of Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania.
The letter stated—What is much more common (than being red-flagged) is that once a person is in a system (organization) and dealing with children, abusive actions then take place because of the unfettered access to children.
Mr. Aul echoed the points I made in the article I posted on April 8: Do Child Abuse Clearances Mean Children Are Safe?
If child abuse clearances are a safety valve of protection for children I must wonder how educational staff can be accused of abusing their students—as were the Plum High School teachers.
It's not just teachers—a church organist (who happened also to be a teacher) who was also in charge of the church's children's choir was convicted of molesting children during private music lessons. He would have passed child abuse clearances, enabling him to continue to abuse children—he was never previously convicted of child abuse.
A Greene County man who serves on a Children and Youth Services advisory board is awaiting extradition from West Virginia on charges that he sexually assaulted a boy more than 100 times over four years…a years-long pattern in which Mr. Lohr either forced the boy into sex acts or forced himself on the boy…(he) faces charges of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault, corruption of minors and indecent assault…(published Sept. 4, 2013)
They did the Child Line check. They did the criminal background check. If he comes up clean, what basis do you have "for not placing children with him," said Greene County Commissioner Chuck Morris, a nonmember rep on the CYS board. (published in the Tribune-Review, Sept. 4, 2013; pp B1)
It is unfortunate that many children are still at risk because child abuse is a complicated issue and cannot be dealt with by a "cookbook" approach. One size does not fit all in these situations, Aul wrote.
We must not be lulled into complacency with the belief that people in organizations requiring child abuse clearances are keeping children safe from predators. Inherent in the attempt to keep children safe is Background checks' weakness*: Constant attention must always be a first priority in recognizing the signs of child abuse…and reporting it promptly…with the caveat that we cannot become a police state, fearing every action is a sign of child abuse and thus denying children of the healthy affection they need.
Mr. Aul and I bring the same concern to the public in our writings, Background checks' weakness* and Do Child Abuse Clearances Mean Children Are Safe? We are ultimately concerned with keeping children safe.
If you suspect a child is being abused, contact your local Child Welfare agency.

National Nurses week: What it means to Tiffany McCauley, MSN, RN
National Nurses Week May 6-12 honors the four million registered nurses in the U.S. with its 2019 theme "4 Million Reasons to Celebrate," recognizing the vast contributions nurses deliver in improving patient care and transforming healthcare. With a focus on rewards and challenges, we asked several of our outstanding nursing executives to share their journeys and perspectives about the nursing profession.
One of those nurses is Tiffany McCauley, MSN, RN, a nursing executive with Elsevier Clinical Solutions who collaborates with hospitals, healthcare systems and academic centers, seeking ways to reduce unwarranted care variations for improved patient outcomes. To do so, she leverages evidence-based decision support and her background in patient care, education, and nursing leadership. Here, she shares why she chose nursing, how she feels about the future of her profession and what National Nurses Week means to her.
Q: Why did you become a nurse?
A: Most nurses will tell you it was a calling, or that someone in the field inspired them to get into nursing. That's not my story. I actually had no idea what I wanted to do, but I always liked science. I also wanted complete autonomy, but still had a desire to work collaboratively with a team. I wanted a career where every day would be different, and required a diverse skill set and offered an opportunity to explore multiple facets of the same profession. Most of all, I wanted to make contributions that mattered, doing work that was meaningful and would make a difference in something bigger than myself. I explored many career opportunities, and what I discovered about nursing appealed to me. There is nothing easy about being a nurse. They work long shifts while managing competing priorities, so a nurse must possess an immense amount of emotional intelligence. They are fierce patient and family advocates who plan, deliver and coordinate care. Every day presents different challenges.
Yet while all this was appealing, it wasn't until I actually became a nurse that I really knew this was the career for me.
My science background was instrumental as I cared for patients with complex health issues, managed equipment and technology, and coordinated the care team's efforts, including the patient's family. Understanding the disease process and realizing how the care we provide impacted the outcomes of our patients was more rewarding than I could have imagined. As nurses, we apply our knowledge of science while providing care guided by evidence, compassion and empathy. We continue to learn and grow personally and professionally every day while providing strength, hope and direction to people in their most vulnerable moments.
Nurses are fortunate to be a part of people's lives in their happiest, saddest and most vulnerable times. Among the chaos, we learn their stories and who they are. We hold their hands and we listen. We offer compassion and empathy. We are our patients' chief advocates.
I enjoy the unique balance between the art and science of nursing. What we do matters and makes a difference in the lives of the people we care for. I am proud to be a nurse!
Q: What does National Nurses week mean to you?
A: National Nurses Week is a time when all nurses are elevated and celebrated for their dedication to the health and well-being of humanity. There is much to celebrate. Our profession has come a long way, and we continue to make progress and gain recognition and respect for the impact we have on our patients. Nurses Week also lets us educate our communities about our value and the contributions we make to patients, research, policy and population health.
Q: Where do you see the future of nursing?
A: I am optimistic about the future of nursing and proud of the progress we have made toward our national goals during the past 10 years. The National Academy of Medicine and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation set fairly aggressive goals in 2010, and recent reports indicate we are on the right track.
Year after year, nursing is recognized as the most trusted discipline in healthcare. More nurses are advancing their degrees, taking leadership opportunities at the national level to influence policy and advocate to be heard. But there are tremendous challenges ahead. Our healthcare system is shifting focus from acute illness and injury to the prevention of chronic disease and the management of highly complex care for the chronically ill. It will now be our responsibility to identify factors that influence patient health outcomes out of our sphere of influence, such as living environment, social circle, education, and financial barriers. It will be up to us to engage our colleagues and involve the patient in developing a plan to help overcome the barriers these factors create. This will require an expanded skill set focused on effective communication and collaborative team-based care.
I believe the future holds some challenges, but we will continue to expand our capabilities to promote a culture of health and wellness among our population. As a result, nursing will continue to be recognized as the most trusted discipline in healthcare.
Q: What is one self-care tip for nurses?
A: Reflect on what it means to be the best version of yourself and then take small steps to achieve it. Some examples include getting enough sleep, eating healthy, exercising and being mindful and present in the moment.
Discover Orientation & Retention
Promote confidence and competence with immersive, personalized education that offers consistent education and a better experience for your nurses and professional development programs.

My friends are not going to be happy about this. A handful of them are convinced that I'm never going to be able to put X down and walk away even though I promised them I'd try. Tonight, they have been proven right again.
I've told them this theory that I believe in. I also suspect that he's secretly reading my blog because his timing is always impeccable. Every time I get tired and decide that this is it, somehow, something somewhere will happen and suck me back into the vortex. I've tried the out of sight out of mind thing, I've tried not initiating any contact, I've tried moving on but nothing seems to be more powerful than his draw. I think I've shown a vast improvement compared to just a couple of years ago but an improvement is still not sufficient.
He's been claiming to be busy, so I told myself ok, enough is enough. Just let it go and move on. And while things seemed to be going quite well, boom. In he comes like a wrecking ball.
We were chatting over text for a while this afternoon and I thought that was it. Then he continued it from 7pm, and we've been at it till now (1am). My sister was using my phone earlier to look at some shopping and you could see the disdain on her face and by how violently she was swiping away his messages that kept coming in. It was quite funny to be honest. But she thinks I'm a lost cause so maybe that's why she kept quiet.
He knows I have a weak spot for Paris because I feel it's the best place in the world to be (and also because we holidayed there together), so I don't know why but he brought it up all of a sudden and we started reminiscing our most memorable times there. That made me go back in time, and in turn, tons of wonderful memories came flooding back and it reminded me of how it solidified my belief that he's the best man on this planet and oh how I want to marry him and bring him home.
And just like that, my earlier resolution crumbled into ashes and dust. I hate it that he has such a strong hold on me and in a way is being so manipulative (whether he realises it or not). He says he will never hold on to me because he cannot give me happiness but yet he's so protective and looks out for me all the damn time. He subtly, unconsciously reminds me that no one else is measurable compared to him, heck, no one even comes close. He says all these non-romantic things but his actions are so chivalrous. I just feel so torn.
Oh what do I do. I should go to sleep, that's what I should do.

Twas the Day Before Christmas...
Six West Liberty-Salem cross country student athletes earned 2019 OATCCC All-Ohio Academic honors at Saturday's state cross country championships. To be eligible student athletes grades 10-12 must have a 3.5 or higher grade point average and compete in the state meet. Earning this recognition for the Big Orange are Grace Adams, Megan Adams, Madison Bahan, Lydia Moell, Katelyn Stapleton and Mandilyn Weaver (pictured below)
The Big Orange girls cross country squad finished as the state runner-up in the Division III race at National Trail Raceway, capturing their highest state finish in school history.
Big Orange Girls Runner-up at State
"The girls showed so much composure today," said longtime head coach Ann Vogel. "We were in fifth after the first 800, but they just kept working their way through the pack. They are a veteran team and they knew what to expect. I couldn't be more proud of them. That last 800 was phenomenal. Everyone gave it their all."
Minster and Ft. Loramie jumped out strong, but the Big Orange turned it up over the final half of the race to jump in the thick of the championship chase.
WL-S trailed Ft. Loramie by 44 points and Minster by 16 after the first mile. At the two-mile mark, the Big Orange were 26 points behind Minster and 13 from Ft. Loramie.
The Big Orange remained in third at the 2 1/2-mile mark, sitting 21 points away from Minster and five from the Redskins.
"The race played out very well for us," said Megan Adams. "We just kept working hard to move up as the race went on."
Megan Adams was one of three Big Orange runners to earn all-Ohio honors with top-30 finishes.
Also for the Big Orange, Madison Bahan was 52nd (20:08.6), Lydia Moell finished 68th (20:26.9), Mandilyn Weaver placed 124th (21:48.9) and Maggie Davis finished 128th (21:54.9).
The Big Orange girls are very familiar with competing with the cream of the crop in the state. Five of the seven runners that ran Saturday were instrumental in the track and field team's state championship last spring.
"These girls expect to win," said Vogel. "I didn't think we would be state champs in track last spring, but these girls have very high expectations. They wanted to win today and that's all they talked about. They gave it their all and I couldn't ask for anything more out of them."
Saturday's race offered a lot of individual pride for the Big Orange runners as many of them overcame adversity to turn in stellar outings.
For Megan Adams, as of a few weeks ago, she wasn't even sure if she would be able to run anymore this season. She suffered a broken foot early on this fall and was sidelined for most of the regular season.
"To be able to finish third is an amazing feeling," she said. "I had a broken foot, but God blessed me with a quick recovery and gave me the ability to get back to my teammates."
"Megan is pure guts," said Vogel. "I remember her riding a bike in a boot while we practiced at Ohio Caverns. She just wanted to be there with her teammates. Her resilience has been amazing. She is one of those special kids that only come around every once in a while."
Stapleton enjoyed a feeling of redemption after not being able to finish in the state meet as a freshman two years ago.
"I am so happy with how I finished," she said. "I didn't finish this race as a freshman, so it feels really good to be able to accomplish this."
"Katelyn's maturity and growth has been tremendous," said Vogel. "She knew what she had to do and went out and did it. She passed 10 people in the last 800."
Grace Adams, one of two seniors on the team along with Moell, also left a lasting legacy on the program with her all-Ohio performance.
"Grace has improved so much," said Vogel. "She really took on the role of a leader and was a great example for the rest of the girls."
Grace Adams and Moell became the 9th and 10th runners in program history to qualify for four consecutive state meets.
Rounding out the top 10 teams in the Division III standings Saturday were Liberty Center (161), Mt. Gilead (165), Centerburg (224), McDonald (252), Gilmour Academy (264), Columbus Grove (286) and Maplewood (289).
Springfield Catholic Central's Addie Engel ran a blistering time of 17:46.9 to win the Division III race. Her time was a new course record. Her twin sister Bridget was fourth (18:44.5).
Waynesfield-Goshen's Taylor Spencer also put on a standout showing with a sixth-place finish (18:52.2).
The West Liberty-Salem Big Orange Girls Cross Country team will be collecting hats and gloves for the underserved in our community.
From October 28 - November 1, West Liberty-Salem students, faculty, staff and community members are encouraged to donate new or gently used and clean hats and gloves to help keep those in need warm during the cold winter months.
Our goal this year is to collect 500 warm hats and gloves. Donation boxes will be located outside the school's main office and cafetorium.
