In this series of articles, we are going over the top mistakes business owners make when they decide to sell their business.
(If you've missed any of the previous parts, click here to catch up: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, and Part 8)
Savvy business owners do not leave any tables unturned to take their business to the aspired heights. However, when the time comes to reap the rewards and cash in on their business, we find many business owners making drastic mistakes that cost them significant amounts of money, that is, if they are able to sell the business at all.
We always tell business owners to address these potential mistakes way before even thinking about selling their business, in order to secure the outcome of a successful sale.
Deadly Mistake: The Hands-Off Approach
The ninth deadliest mistake is when the business owner decides to take a hands-off approach to selling their business. It can greatly reduce the chances of finding the perfect buyer for your business, negatively impact the value of your business and make the entire selling process slow and complicated. It shows a lack of resolve and concern on your part, and makes it difficult to get the kind of deal you and your business deserve.
In a previous article, we explained the mistake when choosing not to rely on capable professionals to sell the business. The mistake we're discussing here is practically the opposite, as in this one, the owner decides to disengage from the process completely. DIY'ing can be catastrophic, as you most likely do not have the expertise nor the experience necessary to effectively deal with all the intricacies of selling a business. However, completely disengaging from the selling process and leaving everything on the hired professionals does not make much sense either.
It is important that you access the legal, financial and brokerage skills of professionals to smoothly transfer the ownership of your business to new hands. It is also important to understand that your work does not end with hiring a quality business broker. In fact, it might merely be the first step on the journey to a successful sales deal. Harnessing the experiences and expertise of the professionals to leverage the best possible deal for your business is what you should aim for. A synergistic approach is what works best!
Why You Should Remain Involved
Remember, it is your business! Although your intermediary or advisor will work diligently to market your business, no one has more motivation to sell, nor as much inside knowledge about the business, than you do. There is no better promoter of your business than yourself. A broker can help you get some leads, but to ensure the sale process gets the most traction and buzz, you have to remain engaged as well. Do not forget to keep the search away from the eyes of your employees and customer base!
No one knows the ins-and-outs of your business and your industry quite the way you do. Your advisory team may have prior experience of selling in your particular industry and they will try to learn as much as they can about your business in the limited time; however, do not expect them to have a comprehensive and nuanced knowledge of the internal structures and environments as well as the future goals and aims of your business. If you want a new owner that can help your company fulfill its growth potential, you need to stay involved in the selling process.
Effective promotion is not the only thing you can ensure. A collaborative effort by you and the business advisors can help you prepare your business for a smooth transfer of power and ownership. It is important that you carve out a great working relationship with your advisors. The team of advisors you work with should be able to chart a reliable path to sell your business, including very specific actions they will need you and your staff to take. These steps will help you get your legal and financial house in order, and secure the highest possible valuation and asking price for your company.
In addition, once the advisor has found some promising prospective buyers, you have to convince the buyer that buying the business will offer value. There is no one better for the buyer than the seller himself to ensure the company will be easy to purchase and manage. For that to happen, you have to forge a relationship with the buyer and allow for trust to develop between the two parts. Building a high level of confidence can be difficult if you fail to actively participate in the selling process.
Selling Confidence
The prospective buyer needs to know that your business has all the structures in place to accommodate the change of ownership. Most of the buyers prefer buying businesses where the owner is willing to guide them through the transition period and help them ease into the new business. Your active and engaged participation in the selling process can drive the value and sellability of your business up. Your interaction with the potential buyer — of course, with the assistance of your selected third-party professionals — will have a significant impact on whether your business sells.
However, a lack of interest or motivation to actively participate in the selling process of your business can be outright dangerous. Your refusal to interact with prospective buyers can send them warning signals about the viability of the business itself. They may be forced to think that either you have something to hide or are not interested in selling to them at all. If you want to secure a great deal for your business, there have to be no barriers between you and the buyers. Lack of interaction with potential buyers can give rise to mistrust, doubts and consequential loss of potentially favorable deal.
To avoid all these problems, you need to work closely with your advisors throughout the selling process. Hire the help of some experienced lawyers, CPAs and brokers, and create a team that can help you exit your business lucratively. Plan out the sales process in advance, have a conversation with your qualified team of advisors about which role each party will assume along the process, and see to it that each party — including you — fulfills the assigned responsibilities and duties. You will be surprised as to how smooth the selling process of your business turns out to be.

The Company You Keep.
Alas, poor miserable Roger Stone,
Into the slammer he's been thrown,
Another Trump flunky lies in the hole
Unless Don has mercy on his craven soul.
The cells are where many dodgy deals are done,
Will Don take Rog's call, begging Dons pardon?
In some dark sun-baked states liars get stoned,
In Dons half-baked State is perjury condoned?

I just got back from my Rite Aid run and found a nice little surprise on my receipt....an extra +Up Reward! Carefree liners are on sale this week 2/$2. For every 2 you buy, a $1 +Up Reward is supposed to print. Apparently there is a glitch, because (2) $1 +Up Rewards are printing!
Deal idea:
2 Carefree liners, 2/$2
-$1/2 Value Video from August (Hope your printed it!)
Pay $0 and get (2) $1 +Up rewards. That's a $2 moneymaker!!!

Well I bought some pieces from HBG. Bought more than I needed but thats mostly because I love the ottoman color of troops haha.
Posts made by italiansarecoming
RE: Pieces
Hey Guys played 1914 once like a while ago.
Anyways I was just wondering if I call wizards of the coast will they give extra pieces. Why do I literally have just the amount of infantry needed for germany. I started with 1 sub and I know this because I have A GERMAN sub from a&a europe so I can have both sub placement. Then on chips If i could use the other games chips to match these ones I would but there is so few and they are just going to run out. Any ideas or do I have to go through HBG and buy infantry and small sized chips.
You would think after spending over 100 dollars on a game they would have the neccessary pieces.
Hey Guys,
Played 1 game of axis & allies anniversary and 1 game of world war one a&A in the past year.
Anyways I realize this is the forum for avid gamers. But is 250 dollars CAD a fair price for WAR ROOM just wondering I was thinking it would be more like 150 but maybe my dollar is so shit that its so high. IDK thought id ask you guys your opinion. Also not hurting on money So if you think the game is amazing and will love it if I get the chance to play it maybe that could sway my mind.
Also lastly recommend table size for this game.
RE: 1941 Balance?
I think the important thing is to set yourself up for a 3rd turn India if they make a factory Turn 1. Axis > allies 1941
RE: The ads bother the children
All ads are based off of browser searches. This means either your or your childrens searches are most likely some sort of porn. I know mentioned above just agreeing with the statements already posted.
Like i am bombarded with axis&allies Anniversary ads now. However I already own a copy. just because I searched something. rather be bombarded with my fav board game series than that however
RE: Triple A Discord Group to Meet up for games
exactly what my post was about joined
RE: Master Find Players List
A&A games
Have played A&A Europe, Global40 (dont own) , Anniversary, 1941, 1914
Online TRIPLEAAA Group
Hello Everyone I am italiansarecoming
Accidentally posted by forum for finding players. That doesnt really interest me.
The overall aim is to find 3-5 players who would love to meet together every week and play a game where we can pick a version play a round or two then meet the next week and just continue playing online. I have yet to play online and have one game under my belt for TRIPLEAAA in which I played against myself which was a hoot.
Personally I dont care what version it is and what nation I am even if it is my first time playing the version or country for that version.
I enjoy the game I love the strategy and I WOULD LOVE TO LOSE. everyone I play with I win too much (not bragging they suck)
I'd love to mix teams around having a discord were we chat split off into two teams and flame each other until one team wins.
So if anyone is interested in such a thing. make a post saying your interested. Or even better if someone has what I am looking for and wants to invite me to join even better.
This is Welcome to everyone who can download TRIPLEAAA.
Notes: I speak only English, And live currently in the CST time zone. So preferably NA players unless we set something up during the weekend or every other weekend or EU people who enjoy staying up late.

Rnd 1) make 18 sc around a rubber band, join in back loop of first sc.
NOTE: beginning ch 3 counts as 1st dc.
Rnd 2) working in back loop only for this round, ch 3, 1 dc in same space as join, 2 dc in each st, around, join (total sts = 36)
Rnd 3) ch 3, dc in same space as join, (dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) repeat around, join
(total sts = 54)

POOF at the top of the hat:
These stitches are worked in the unworked loops of round one.
Attach yarn in any unworked loop of round one.
picture shows where to attach yarn for the poof.
(Ch 10, sl st in same stitch) 3 times
sl st in next st, (ch 10, sl st in same stitch) 3 times. Continue around, having 3 ch 10"s and 4 sl sts in each stitch.
If you want a fuller "poof" do 4 chain 10's instead of 3 in each stitch. If you want a bigger "poof", chain 15 or 20 instead of 10.

Say ciao to one of the most highly valued dogs in Italy. The Cane Corso are thought to be descendants of the Roman Molosser dogs. Back then, Molossers were used to subdue boars and other wild animals until the farmer arrived.
Perhaps not surprisingly, many have found Cane Corsos to be excellent guard dogs today. Even-tempered, calm and loyal, they certainly make for very trainable pets.
The only remaining mystery is their name. Some think it comes from the Latin 'cohors', which can refer to a farmyard, enclosure or corral. Others think it comes from 'bodyguard'. Whatever the true etymology, these wonderful dogs mean the world to their owners.

From as long as Katrina can remember, running is something that she's always done. In high school, running started out as a means to greater fitness for some of the other sports that Katrina was involved with, but quickly, it became a passion in and of itself. Through her university years, her parents joked that her major was in track and field, as she spent arguably more time training and racing than on school work. With an incredible group of coaches and teammates, Katrina reached great heights at the 10,000m and cross country. Along the way, she learned just how important it is to fuel the body with proper nutrition and the mind with positive energy.
Now, while Katrina is on her way to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor, her daily training is a welcome break from the classroom, and keeps her feeling invigorated and motivated. Her favourite part of running is the community it creates and the lifelong friendships she has because of the sport. Whether doing intervals on the track, or a long run on the waterfront, Katrina loves knowing that a clear mind and a happy heart are just a few kilometers away!
Her favourites
Iron Bis-Glycinate 20
"As a female distance runner, I've always had to supplement with iron to make sure my hemoglobin stores are stocked and ready to transport oxygen to my working muscles. CanPrev's Iron Bis-Glycinate changed the game for me as it doesn't cause any stomach upset and is formulated with other important cofactors for absorption and bioavailability such as Vitamin C and B Vitamins."
Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200
"As part of my nightly routine, I use magnesium to aid in muscle recovery and to help my muscles relax so I can get a good nights sleep before my next training session."
Green Up!
"After a morning workout, as I'm on my way to class, I always make sure to add a scoop of the Green Up! powder to my smoothies to energize my body with some extra greens and adaptogen support. The convenience of Green Up! definitely helps me to incorporate my daily veggies without having to worry!"

Behind The Buzzword: Software As A Service
How Did SaaS Become A Buzzword?Add bookmark
Digital Transformation professionals are often inundated with a barrage of new business buzzwords. Does a particular buzzword refer to meaningful technology, or is it just another example of meaningless terminology? Each week, Enterprise Mobility Exchange publishes Behind The Buzzword, a quick overview of new technology jargon and how professionals view it.
Software as a service (SaaS) is one of the most hotly debated topics in the enterprise. Some digital leaders recognize the importance of SaaS as a solution for business. Meanwhile, there are other digital leaders who have been inundated with barrage of services under the SaaS umbrella, and they see this term as nothing more than a buzzword.
SaaS is a business model in which software that is centrally hosted on the cloud is licensed on a subscription basis. This is also called a web-based service or an on-demand service. Although SaaS may seem like a modern concept, its origins date back to the 1960s. With the rise of the internet in the 1990s, and later with the emergence of cloud computing, SaaS began to permeate into the enterprise. An example of SaaS for the enterprise is Salesforce, which is available over the internet.
Over the past few years, SaaS has become commonplace for many businesses. The advantages of using SaaS are the low cost and it is easy to use. By the year 2020, 73% of organizations are projected to have all of their apps run by SaaS. This will occur as enterprise software shifts from a cloud first mentality to a cloud only mentality. At that point, the SaaS market will soar to nearly $76 billion.
Why Is SaaS A Buzzword?
Despite the acceptance of SaaS among enterprises, this term is still considered to be a buzzword. In an interview with Enterprise Mobility Exchange, IQPC's Chief Digital Officer Bob Gibson said that SaaS was the one business/technology buzzword that he is tired of hearing the most. This term can be especially annoying to some leaders when it is combined with other phrases, such as saying that a company is SaaS-enabled.
The real reason why SaaS is considered to be a mere buzzword is because a lot of businesses started to add it to any marketing phrase just to fit in. There have been cases of applications that were not available online or through a cloud that started to use the phrase SaaS as a marketing pitch. By jumping on the SaaS bandwagon, the phrase no longer has the same meaning.
To summarize, SaaS is a practical solution for many enterprises. However, don't go around saying that every application is SaaS.

Stardew Valley players have long been awaiting a multiplayer aspect to the game. Today it has finally arrived on Steam and is in public beta that anyone can opt into. To access Stardew Valley multiplayer you'll need to follow a few steps and the developers have told players to take precautions as it is still a beta after all.
First things first, here's how to opt-in to the Stardew Valley multiplayer beta:
How to Access Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta
- Head to your Steam Library
- Right Click Stardew Valley
- Select Properties
- Open Betas Tab
- Type jumpingjunimos
- Click check code
Once these steps are completed you'll have the option to select the beta branch of the game which features multiplayer and Steam will begin updating the game.
The developers do say that since this is a beta that you should backup any important save files and that you'll need to remove any mods for the game as they aren't compatible with the beta release. You can use your existing save files in the beta.
From there, there are a few things that you'll need to do to host your farm so that others can play with you. You're going to need to have a home for each player on the farm, so you'll need to build each of your friends a cabin to live in. You can have up to three cabins on your farm.
Once you've built the cabins and open the co-op menu you should be able to host your farm for others to join.
There are multiple options in Server Mode that allow you to play with Friends Only, Invite Only, or Offline.
How to Invite Friends in Stardew Valley Multiplayer
You can invite friends to play Stardew Valley in a couple of different ways on Steam and GOG. You can invite them through the co-op menu if your server is running. Your friends on GOG and Steam will be able to see you and join you through the co-op menu. For this functionality your server will need to be set to friends-only and your privacy settings on Steam must allow others to see your games.
Players can also join you through the Steam or GOG friends list if privacy settings allow to see your activity.
Hosts can also send invitations to other players through the settings menu in the game. Use the invite friend button and it will send an invitation, which once accepted will launch the game client on their end and connect them to your farm.
If a player is not on your friends list and you would like invite them you'll need to use an Invite Code. To get an invite code you'll need to go in the settings menu, scroll down to multiplayer and click the show Invite Code. A code will shown to you which you can send to the person you want to invite. The person being invited will need to go into the co-op menu and choose the Enter Invite Code option.

Equalizing Toner
What does it do?
In our opinion, toners are not a necessary component of a skincare regimen. However, they do offer us that extra squeaky clean feeling and the thrill of seeing that extra bit of makeup or residue that appears on the cotton ball after a refreshing pass across the face.
We love the fact that this particular toner consists of the perfect combination of ingredients to give the skin that super clean feeling without the drying effects of alcohol.
Fruit Acid Blend: Works synergistically to gently exfoliate dead skin cells.
Botanical extracts: Witch hazel, rosemary, aloe, and chamomile soften, soothe, and tone the skin.
For whom is it?
This toner is appropriate for all skin types.
How should I use it?
Apply to cotton ball or pad and gently stroke across freshly cleansed skin. Follow with desired serums and moisturizer
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Witch Hazel Extract, Mixed Fruit Extract, PVP, Chamomile Extract, Rosemary Extract, Thyme Extract, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Quaternium-15

Vegetarians must get their protein from nonmeat sources, comparable to eggs and quinoa. Every dish represents a special region in China, reminiscent of Teochew braised sliced Irish fats duck from Paradise Teochew; braised yellow crab roe with steamed egg white from Imperial Treasure Shanghai; and firecracker rooster nest with mango puree egg from TungLok Group's Lokkee restaurant, to represent Sichuan cuisine.
Hong Kong's culinary treats will be loved in each nook of town – particularly in the perfect identified dining districts of Causeway Bay, Kowloon Metropolis and SoHo, which affords notably intimate and varied eating around Staunton, Elgin and Shelley streets.

During the month of January we are starting a new series called "grace." The New Year marks a new beginning. Our students experience a fresh semester with a new GPA. We create new goals for our lives that hopefully give us a fresh outlook in life. What better subject to talk about then than grace?
We want to start from the ground up to better understand what grace is and how vital it is to every single moment of the Christian life. Our desire is that through this series we will better understand that God TRULY paid the price for our sin and how our lives can reflect that! We pray and hope that we as leaders will model what a life of grace looks like; not one marked by trying harder but rather being wrapped in Jesus' final words on the cross, "It is FINISHED!"
Over the series we will look at the book of Jonah. Jonah gives us an in-depth look into God's grace and mercy: grace for the Israelites, grace for Jonah, grace for the Ninevites. As you may know, the book of Jonah doesn't end on a good note. We pray that our lives won't be a reflection of Jonah's frustration with God's grace but rather a celebration of it. Below is our teaching schedule.
MORNINGS (11am Small Groups)
4 – Introduction to Grace
11 – Deadly Plunge
18 – Hearts Exposed
25 – Never-Ending Surprise
EVENINGS (6:30pm Worship)
7 – Introduction to Jonah
14 – Deadly Plunge pt. 2
21 – Hearts Exposed pt. 2
28 – NO Evening Worship (due to Big Chill)

The festival rainy days explores reduction in contemporary music and focuses on the essential: «less is more».
To limit oneself in order to achieve something greater: this idea is gaining ever more importance in a society of excessive consumerism that yet longs for reduction (#decluttering). In the face of climate change, responsible behavior is increasingly associated with restraint. In the arts, reduction has a long history. Musically, it can assume many different points of focus: a single idea, a particular principle, a solo instrument, minimal means, graphic notation or limited material such as a single note, gesture or playing technique.
In 18 concerts, installations and performances, as well as conversations with artists and a musicological conference, you are invited to discover how reduction can sound and how artistically fruitful it can be: the first collaboration of minimal music pioneer Steve Reich and painter Gerhard Richter. Animated films and music as political statements. The starkly reduced staging of Abstract Pieces. Silences pierced by isolated tones. Drone music stretched over extended timescales. Surprising strategies of reduction from music history. A children's concert in the dark. Minimal turns into maximal.
«less is more» presents
Apartment House, ARS Nova Lux, Ensemble intercontemporain, Klangforum Wien, Mivos Quartet, Noise Watchers, Orchestre national de Metz, Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, Percussion Under Construction, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, United Instruments of Lucilin, Séverine Ballon, Hanna Hartman, Anne-Maria & Florian Hölscher, George Jackson, Pascal Meyer, Phill Niblock, Xenia Pestova, David Reiland, Christoph

And a Wunderkammer
With a mosaic of 20-minute concerts in contrasting spaces, the Philharmonie is transformed into a grand Wunderkammer, a cabinet of curiosities. The spectrum of concerts includes performances with cigarette lighters, landmarks of percussion music, toy pianos, live video, spatialized string quartet, world premieres and the presentation of the results of the children's composition workshop. For children six years old and up, Wunderkammer offers a musical spectacle in the dark. There is sure to be something for everyone!

In the early days of Saturday Night Live, Lorne Michaels was brought to the top of the NBC Building to meet with some NBC Executives. They had questions about some of the expansions to the budget and production timelines he had requested.
He explained how he felt that a further developed budget and an increase in the production timeline would help the show keep up with growing audience expectations. He feared the show was losing its edge, and was no longer the challenge to the writers, the cast, or the audience it had set out to be. Essentially, the show was on a collision course, Lorne felt, with mediocrity.
An NBC Executive leaned forward, "Let me explain something. You are contracted to produce an hour and a half of programming from 11:30 PM to 1:00 AM every Saturday night. That's all. No where in your contract does it say that that hour and a half needs to be any good. It doesn't. Relax. You're working too hard."
Lorne smiled and went back to work, but left the show shortly after that.
Here's what I know:
More money isn't always the answer.
More time isn't always the answer.
But lowering the bar, racing to the bottom, decreasing expectation, these things aren't always the answer either.
They are theater traditions that have evolved out of necessity of creating a good (and practical) working atmosphere. Some people know them, some people don't. It's your job to keep them in play without seeming like a martinet.
1. When people are late, they apologize to the stage manager, the director, and, in extreme cases, the room.
2. People leaving a scene or needing to get to the other side try not to walk in front of where the director is working.
3. Actors should know their lines on the date assigned.
4. People not in the scene should not read or do their taxes in the room. It implies the action is boring.
5. Any offstage conversation should be whispered and short. And don't run lines out loud.
6. Actors may not leave the general area without checking first with the stage manager.
7. No smoking, no cell phones, no elaborate meals.
8. Don't direct on the breaks without asking permission. ("May I give you a note?")
9. Be presentable, wash hair, wash you.
10. Introduce visitors.

Enroll in Our Precious Metals Financing Program
Precious metals can be an expensive, but worthwhile, investment, and not everyone has that much money immediately available to them. But the time is ripe for investing in gold, silver, platinum and palladium, and luckily there is a way for small and medium investors to take advantage of the current ripe market conditions.
Some brokers are able to enroll investors into a program that allows them to put only 20 percent down on a precious metal investment, yet retain the full earnings on the metal's growth in the market. This allows those investors who have their cash tied up in other things to get in on the rapid growth that's occurring in the precious metal's market.
But Secure Metals Exchange is proud to announce that we are making it even easier for investors to take advantage of this great opportunity. We now offer small and medium investors the same program, without the need of going through a broker. We will sell you precious metals to add to your portfolio for a mere 20 percent down, and you'll retain the profits from the growth. This will allow investors the comfort of knowing that their investments are in the good hands of an established and reputable organization.
Don't let tight cash reserves keep you from getting into the biggest growth investment market since the 80's. Precious metals are showing little signs of stopping their record growth, and now Secure Metal Exchange has made it available to anyone who see the great potential and wants to be a part of it.

What to Do in Tenerife: 6 Tips to Stave off Boredom
If you think Tenerife is just for those who like to spend their time lying on the beach or going to wild parties at night, you'll be surprised by the variety it offers. We recommend you forget the old stereotypes about the largest of the Canary Islands and look into the adventurous activities on offer. Here you'll find the Spain's highest peak, several UNESCO-protected world heritage sites and one of the world's largest carnivals. This year, the island will also host its first hiking championship.
1. Visit the Island's Highest Peak
At the centre of the island you'll find the 20-kilometre-wide and 3,718-metre-high volcano of Teide – the third-largest in the world. The peak constitutes a natural buffer to stormy and humid weather that comes from Western Europe. Furthermore, it's an excellent place to go on a day- or weekend-long trip. Here you can see some petrified lava rivers and a spectacular panorama that opens up from the top of the mountain. Most tourists come here for day trips, which usually end up with them staying overnight. The best time to climb the peak is at dawn, when the volcano of Teide casts a magnificent shadow on the water of the Atlantic. In 2015, the environs of Teide will see Tenerife's first hikers' festival.
2. Party as if You Were in Rio de Janeiro
The annual carnival in Santa Cruz – the island's capital – flows like blood through the city's veins. Even though it was banned for a while, the locals lost neither their enthusiasm for celebrating, nor the skills required for organizing a successful party. Although carnival events take place year-round, we recommend you come here during February when the music and dancing in streets are at their peak.
3. Fill up on Seafood
While in Tenerife, you'd probably benefit from forgetting all of the standard menus of southern countries that are filled with appealing photos and pictures of food. We recommend you just grab some fresh local seafood and be done with it – it's all great. You can also go to the village of Los Abrigos, inhabited exclusively by fishermen, and try some freshly-caught and prepared "white fish" – the most popular dish in Tenerife. You can wash it down with the local "Dorada" beer or a glass of local wine. As it turns out, Tenerife has as many as five wine regions.
4. Visit the Theme Park
Tenerife has one of the largest adventure theme parks in Europe – the Siam Water Park is bound to bring joy to children and parents alike. Here you'll also find white sandy islands that produce the best possible waves for surfers – people often say that one isn't going to find higher waves anywhere in the world. Another park, called Loro, is located at the intersection of the Siam Park and a zoo, where you can see all kinds of animals: from exotic birds to wild tigers.
5. Discover the Jurassic Park
Don't like theme parks? Visit the realm of the Jurassic period, located north of the Anaga village. This genuine subtropical oasis will help you escape the noisy resorts. Walking is arguably the best way to explore Anaga and its surroundings. Although, if you don't want to get too tired, buses are available too. A 15-kilometre-hike from Cruz del Carmen to Cinamada will transport you to a fabulously green and endlessly fascinating world.
6. Try Freediving
Many people consider Tenerife to be the best place for freediving. Freedivers don't use any equipment, choosing to explore the ocean with the help of nothing but their own eyes and lungs, and the best of them are able to reach the depth of 150 m. Note that freedivers can't be younger than 10. In Tenerife, you're sure to see quite a few interesting things underwater – all you have to do is learn to hold your breath for a longer period of time than you're used to.

XR Web: Innovating Industries and Social Experience By Extended Reality (XR)
The modern era started a compelling, broad, and imagination-inspiring time where people's experiences and reality is extended by means of merging the physical and virtual world. It fulfills to an advanced technology called Extended Reality (XR). It incorporates Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and newly-developed immersive technologies, combines and engages users at more profound, more meaningful levels. It creates wholly new ways for people to experience the world around them. But how can users fully benefit to this innovation?
XR Web is pioneering the development of this augmented reality layer of the internet and is creating the central platform tools and foundation. The XR Web is developed on a blockchain to have security and trust as core principles of this new platform focusing on the use of Extended Reality (XR).
How XR Web Works
XR Web operates by enabling anyone to build XR Apps on the network utilizing the extensive collection of development tools available on XR Development Suite. Content Creators also develop content for consumers to consume. The charges generated from the use of the platform/network is therefore distributed amongst network participants and XR stakers. XR Web enables users to buy and lease lands on the XR digital space and command real economic advantages from it.
1. Developers create XR apps on XR network using our suite of development tools, allowing them to publish either on web or mobile or both.
2. XR apps are communicated broadly into the community for active users.
3. Transactions happen on XR Web utilizing the XR token which is recorded in XR Network by geolocation.
4. Holders stake XR tokens on XR Web qualifying them to receive XR tokens from different sources based on their holdings and staked amounts.
XR Web Application Types
XR Web enables developers to build geolocation powered applications extending personalized experiences to users based on collected information on their location. Such apps incorporate but not restricted to Games, Social Medias, Advertising network, etc.
Applying Cryptocurrency
Applications utilizing cryptocurrency to power their digital economy can is possible to develop inside the XR Web network. The cryptocurrency could be applied for staking, purchase of digital assets with real-world values, payment for services, etc.
Using AR/VR
By theory, XR apps can be used without AR/VR but XR Web considers most future apps should be in AR/VR. Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality can be created on the top XR Web to offer ultra-secure and loaded engaging experience to users. Apps such as Games, Shopping/Retailing Apps, Real Estate apps can be built on XR Web.
Possible XR Apps That Can Be Built On XR Web Network
XR Social Media
Extended reality (XR) is already influencing social media and has impacted for several years. AR is taking over the most widely used social networks in the world such as Facebook, Instagram, and new AR technology is created all the time. Additionally, these top social networks are very much helping people to not only utilize their AR features, but even to design their own AR experiences by providing the tools they necessitate to build AR camera lenses and effects. Brands, too, are starting to use this technology more and more, but the most significant innovations will likely come when all XR experiences are available in one platform.
XR Home Sharing
Home owners can set part or whole of their homes or other resources for rent. Rental period can be hold any period home-owners require and the incomes can again be shared with several stakeholders that includes property owner, operator, network operator, insurance, etc
XR Deliveries (Food & Others)
XR Web network can be worked to safely and securely transport food and other products from one point to the other.
XR Games
Interactive and immersive gaming is revolutionizing how gamers play/consume entertainment contents. With XR Web, users can traverse both visual, augmented or mixed reality content playing, get drawn into a new reality and experiencing new levels of interactive and entertaining actions.
XR Shopping
The capacity to virtually project oneself into a virtual world with superimposed products on the physical spaces, peruse within a broad list of products, working them out to see how they work out and buy from anyplace is revolutionary game evolving and it is poised to provide a new meaning and experience to shopping.
XR Location based Advertising network
By employing the XR Web technology, app developers can develop apps that are customized and user focused to give advertisement accurately while relishing immersive and interactive on multiple locations.
Personal Mobility / XR Ridesharing & Carsharing
XR Web technology advances the ability for users to experience unique and distinct ride sharing experiences and car sharing activities. Rides can be shared between the car owner, driver, rider, insurance companies and other stakeholders while sustaining a blockchain ledger of proof of the location of all assets.
XR Real Estate
Real Estate is ever in demand as people will prefer to get a property. Though, the achievements of any estate agent or developers extends in their innovation in promoting products and enticing clients. With XR Web technology, Real Estate developers can support potential customers and tenants to inspect properties without having to be physically present.
The applications above are just samples of potential applications that can be built using XR Web platform. They can be created by different companies which can be connected or not associated with XR Web's legal entity. The creators of the applications will have options on how much of the network charges and transaction fees. For transaction fees, the makers of the app can choose how much they want to deal with XR Web stakers, with a point of 0.5%. Higher sharing will accommodate to build a higher following to XR Web users and such market dynamics should end in a sharing arrangement that works for both application developers and XR Web.
XR Web Ecosystem Security
XR Web are aware of the fact that alongside new technology is accompanied by risks. Inside XR Web's platform is sufficient standards put in place to resist threats at the network or application level or both by continuous auditing of network and application layer, internally and externally for security concerns. Also, evaluation of Applications to be started on the XR Web Network.
XR Web Network's intention to revolutionize the use of extended reality (XR) is not just a promising proposal, but a possibility that can lead to significant and extraordinary achievements using the future apps built on their platform. Their whole system architecture, stability, and security utilizing blockchain technology are enough certainty on what it can bring to every industry and consumer, innovating products and services, making processes easier and accessible.

XR Web: A Decentralized Extended Reality (XR) Platform On The Blockchain
XR Web formerly known as GofindXR is a decentralized extended reality (XR) platform and virtual world on top of the real world which is powered by the Ethereum blockchain and InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). Compared to other digital worlds based on virtual reality (VR), digital content is loaded on top of the real world in AR, utilizing a smartphone or smart glasses. It will permit users to continue being connected to the real world and other people around them, while continuously encountering virtual content.
This project has its own economy and virtual currency called the XR Token. It is utilized to register land and secure transactions on the XR Web. Several applications that includes social media, games and shopping can be developed on this new XR Land as it it the new 3D Internet. Using the XR tokens, investors and users can stake them to a specific geographical locations and receive a revenue share from ads or transactions in the applications from transaction charges and applications.
The Key Components Of XR Ecosystem
XR Browser
It is the camera-based mobile spatial browser that will allow users to see the XR web directly. This element will enable users to experience internet surfing in XR mode on the go on both iOS and Android phones. The demo versions of this are now available. Conclusively the browser will transition for smart glasses as they become regular place.
XR Web
It is the collection of the geolocations and connected assets and applications. Components of the XR Land can be rented by users by staking XR tokens. All critical transaction in the XR Land such as Land ownership is registered on the blockchain.
XR Token
This is the cryptographic currency that is utilized in Gofind's XR Land for leasing XR Land and many other transactions.
It is the standardized system of URLs directing to exact locations in the XR Web from a distant location than the location in reference. It can be reached by compatible XR browsers using the prefix 'xtpps://'.
XR Lens Store & SDK
Lenses are comparable to web apps in 2D internet. Lenses are built utilizing the free SDKs in Unity and Javascript.
XR Ads Engine
It is a self-serve platform for marketers to set ads on XR world and for developers and builders to make their share of revenue. This XR part allows users to view ads in virtual reality as well as XR Web. The Ad engine will be accessible to serve ads in XR Land as well as in other AR applications outside the XR Land. Advertisers will be capable to bid on ads based off of location, demographics, dates and budget. Ads of highest bidder is promoted until spend operates out followed by the next highest bid.

Potenial Use And Applications Using XR
For Games
The Niantic's Pokemon has previously illustrated how compelling AR gaming can be. The blast of AR Gaming is coming up. The team are making the Library store and Economy for AR Gaming advance.
For Shopping
A virtual makeover is creating tides in the beauty industry; the motor trade is becoming involved too. With Land Rover providing the keys to customers in order to 'drive' their SUVs by clicking on a banner ad; IKEA's AR solution created using Apple's AR development platform ARKit allows consumers use an app to place any of the company's 2,000 products in its catalogue to-scale, in a room in their home, via the camera on their phone; and only Gap announced 'Dressing Room.'
For Social Media
Extended reality (XR) is already hitting social media and its made so for years now. It looks like AR is taking over the most popular social networks in the globally including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and this new AR technology is introduced all the time. Plus, these topmost social networks are very much inspiring people to not only apply their AR features as much as possible, but even to build their own AR experiences by supplying the tools they need to make AR camera lenses and effects.
The XR Web Team
The team is composed of skilled individuals from arrays of field. They are led by Manindra Majumdar, XR Web Founder and CEO and has worked in international business for over 7 years in 15+ countries. He earned his MBA from the Hult International Business School (San Francisco, USA) and is a known AI, AR & Blockchain expert.

Massachusetts: Est. 26K QHPs in 18 days; 45.6K Medicaid
Wed, 12/03/2014 - 2:32pm
Massachusetts continues to steam ahead: Assuming at least 48.5% of QHP determinations have already selected policies, they should be at roughly 26,000 QHPs through last night, plus another 45,687 added to Medicaid.
If so, MA has reached 82% of their 2014 total in 18 days, and is on their way to a bare minimum of 134K even without the double-surges around 12/23 and 2/15.
Again, I'm expecting as many as 300K Bay Staters before the dust settles in February.

The workshop was divided into two parts. In the first part we were carefully prepared for light hypnosis. We were put on blindfolds one after the other and were led into the big room. Quiet, unobtrusive music, only the hum of the fan was heard. It was very warm, but with a light breeze from the fan. I smelled tart incense. There was lightness in the room. It was like magic. After a short time I felt completely relaxed. I had not "stepped away", but rather as in complete relaxation. In a place without stress, without effort, without having to do anything

As the kitchen forms an integral part of the house, the science of Vastu is to enhance the aura of the kitchen, taking into consideration certain essential elements. These include the direction, in which the kitchen is located, placements of the windows and doors in the kitchen, location of the kitchen in the house, placement of electronic gadgets, gas cylinder, refrigerator and even the sink.
Direction of kitchen:
Ideal if the kitchen is made in the south-east corner of the house. Another great option is the north-west corner of the house. The south-east corner is considered the best as the element of fire governs in this direction.
Placement of Gas Stove
The cooking gas is almost as essential as the placement of the kitchen in the house. Therefore, it too should be in the south-east direction. This is because when a person cooks food they should be facing to the east only.
Placement of the sink and taps
Sinks and taps in the kitchen indicate flowing water. They should be placed in the north-east direction and away from the cooking stove. This is because fire and water are opposite elements and they repel each other.
Placement of the Refrigerator
If the kitchen houses the refrigerator then it should be placed in the south-west direction but be kept at least a foot away from the corner. Avoid placing it in the north-east direction.
Placement of exhaust fans and windows
Windows are important too as Vastu says that one or two windows in the kitchen are a must! An air hole or an exhaust is a must and it should be placed in the east in the kitchen. Windows – large or small should be placed in the east while if there are ventilators, it should be placed in the southern direction.
Placement of electrical appliances
Today, the kitchen is filled with ovens, microwaves, heaters etc. These should be placed in the south or the south-east direction of the kitchen. Please note, these appliances should never be placed in the north-east direction.
Placement of storage
We need storage for food grains, crockery, utensils etc. The storage cupboards should be made on the southern or western walls in the kitchen. It is best to avoid the north and east side walls.
Drinking water vessels
be it an earthen pot, filter, RO machine etc. these should be placed in the north-east side.
Kitchen Flooring
Vetrified tiles, marble or mosaic are great options for kitchen flooring. They are practical too as they are hard, impermeable and of course, resistant to scratches.
Avoid using black color in the kitchen and use vibrant colors such as yellow, rose, chocolate brown, green, orange or red.
Placement of kitchen in the house
Ensure that kitchen doesn't share a wall with the toilet or bathroom. it is important to ensure that the kitchen is never made below a bathroom or toilet.

My daughter came for her 14th Birthday with 4 of her friends. She had such a fantastic time. The staff were lovely and so helpful. The girls had so much fun, made lots of memories and managed to escape in 63 mins. They are already talking about coming back at Christmas. Would highly recommend Escape for Real!!
Nina, Northampton
My husband and I just did Portal and loved it! One of our favourite escape rooms to date! Can't wait to come back for the next room...!
Rachel, Milton Keynes
Myself, husband and 2 kids (12 & 15) did this. Fabulous experience, everyone got to participate and possibly the only time all 4 of us collaborate without bickering! The robotic arm was a treat (literally), the staff really friendly and helpful and the challenges gave such a sense of satisfaction when you cracked them.
Morwenna, Leighton Buzzard
I could have played with the robotic arm all day, but duty called and I had to escape! Top entertainment, cool high tech puzzles and great atmosphere. I can hardly wait for these guys to open the second room.
Paul, Hitchin
Very fun and quite challenging. A lot of ideas I have not experienced in other escape rooms.
Ed, Towcester
This is my 28th room ( I think) and for some reason I put off going to the only escape place in my home town because I was convinced my team would get out really quickly - we didn't ! This was a good level of difficulty - some puzzles I've never seen before despite so many rooms and I love gadgets and tech so it was doubly awesome! - can't wait to go back to do their second room and hopefully many more. Ideal for newbies and alleged experts :0)
Paul, Newport Pagnell
