Existing livestock biodiversity, in the form of numerous indigenous breeds, is the outcome of rural communities managing livestock in many different habitats to meet their breeding goals, production system requirements and environmental constraints. The loss of genetic diversity reduces opportunities to improve food security. Despite an accelerating rate of livestock diversity extinction, little has been done in terms of systematic genetic improvement and conservation. Community-based management (CBM) of existing animal genetic diversity in developing countries can support the improvement of the livelihoods of poor livestock keepers while also ensuring the conservation of the genetic resources. ILRI, in collaboration with partner national research institutions in Benin, Ethiopia and Kenya as well as the Universities of Goettingen and Hohenheim in Germany, has been implementing this 3-year research project since September 2004 to overcome past failures in the genetic improvement of animal genetic resources (AnGR) by developing a framework to fully engage communities in the management of these resources using in-situ approaches to conservation and sustainable use of farm animal biodiversity, consistent with the Convention on Biological Diversity.
The empowerment of these local communities, through an improvement of their analytical, technical, managerial and organisational skills to sustainably manage their animal genetic resources.
Key activities
1. Identification of project site, communities, priority species and breeds through PRA surveys
2. Community-based action research leading to the development and establishment of community-based management (CBM) framework
3. Enhance controlled mating of the experimental herds and flocks
4. Analysis of the economic, market and policy factors influencing the conservation and sustainable use of AnGR.
5. Capacity building and dissemination at various levels, and
6. Monitoring and assessment of progress
The CBM framework offers promise and needs to be fairly and critically assessed. The lessons learned under these diverse production environments will ensure its broad applicability in these and similar developing countries.

Kim Kardashian's little sis, Khloe, is definitely a fighter, willing to go to bat for any cause she believes in. It's this strict desire to stick to a core set of principles that makes Khloe so likeable, even when she can get a little intense. She showed this fervor once for outspoken animal rights group PETA, when she chose to go naked for their ant-fur campaign back in 2008. Now, due to one flour-bombing incident, Kardashian is rescinding that support.
After hearing the news that PETA would absolutely pay for the legal fees of Christina Cho, the woman that flour-bombed her sister at an event last week, as well as lying about having any connection with the woman, Kardashian has pulled out from supporting PETA. She spoke out today via her blog to explain, while she and her sister may disagree on the issue of fur, Khloe found Cho's move to be extremely distasteful and without warrant.
"Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions — I personally don't wear fur but that doesn't mean I am going to force my views on anyone else, ESPECIALLY by violating them."
She went on to say that she will certainly not wear fur, but her actions in no way will be oriented with a group she finds to rally around bullying innocent bystanders.
" We all need to practice what we preach. I will still continue to NOT wear fur, but I will no longer support PETA. Bullying and harassment is NEVER a solution, and I won't be a part of any organization that thinks otherwise."
I wonder if she regrets getting naked for the group at this juncture, or if she feels the message still stands? Maybe there is an "I'd rather go covered in flour, than be a bully" ad campaign in there somewhere...

Sadie comes in out all day, constantly talking - loud and insistent. She always seems a bit frantic, like Lassie trying to alert me that someone has fallen in the well. Eventually, and without fail, she tries to squeeze onto my lap - pushing herself between me a the desk, which leaves her squished up against me and makes typing impossible. But as soon as I give in and decide to give up on work and spend quality time with her she hears or sees something, and flies off my lap to investigate.
The other day I was about to pack up an order and turned to grab the packing list and Sadie seized the moment to make herself at home. All I could so was give in and grab the camera.

Wednesday didn't really exist.
Did you know that?
Well I'm a-telling you it's true.
Flirty-flirt, flirty-flirt, flirty-flirt flirt.
Digging the jay-oh-bee. I get to say these kinds of things: "I need an emergency ccp for ticket number 5687122 because they need to extend the change control window to complete the database index drops they couldn't finish offshore last night." I try to inflect my delivery with a Mametian sort of patter.
Then my boss buys me ice cream. Or an ice-cold chai. Or a salad. With peas.
It's great.
He literally said, "If you ever wake up with a hangover, just work from home."
Got comps for 50 WORDS on Saturday. Can't wait. I'm hoping it's going to be the first piece of NY theatre that really blows me away.
Oh yeah, and I'm stoked about our new Democratic regime. Totally turned on.

The Rhinestone Cowboy
In my offline life, among other things, I am a singer. The first band I was hired to front was a country band.
I did not know any country music at the time – but I learned quickly and grew to enjoy the genres. The manager of the band and I hit it off and became close friends. With that friendship, I learned all things country. There were rodeos, NASCAR races, George Straight concerts, moonshine, cowboy hats, front porch-pickin, boots… trailers, sexy lady mud flaps – it was country-tastic. On one of our many country-themed adventures, I was asked to accompany Tim (the manager) and his friends to "The Country Corral." I inquired as to what the heck that even meant.
"What the hell kind of place is that?"
"Ah, it's great! There's a dance floor and it't packed! We like to sit on the side and watch all the lady butts."
"So, let me get this, you want me… to go to 'The Corral'… and stand along the side and watch lady butts with you? MMMMmmm… nyew."
"No, we just do that sometimes, you gotta go!"
So, after a bit of coaxing and bargaining, I agreed to go:
"Well if we get out there and I crack a window and hear banjos, just remember that you did that to your buttholes – not me."
The journey to The Country Corral was composed of 6 people: Myself, Tim, his bff Kevin, and Kevin brought his work friend, Slick. (Slick brought 2 work friends, that we lost at the door and I haven't seen them since.) I don't think "Slick" was his real name, but he answered to it and it was all I ever knew. Slick was an odd nickname to me, because "Slick" was a city boy – but by gawd, he was eating this country shit up with a spoon!
We arrived at the crowded door, and eventually made our way towards the bar. On our way, we saw it. The mechanical bull line. This was no country fair mechanical bull – this was a training bull, with a line of actual rodeo cowboys in wait.
"Look at that!" Shouted Slick
"Yeah buddy, I don't think that's for you tonight." Said Tim
We found a table near the band and took a seat. Slick watched that bull all night from our camp. Slick also drank Goldschlager until he was so marble-mouthed, that I heard him introduce himself as "Shit" to some chick.
"They call me Schlitt"
It was about 12:15AM when Slick announced. "Sheyy evurybuday, *hiccups* I'm gonna dew et! I'ma ridin' that bull!"
Being a little tipsy ourselves, it sounded like a great idea at the time and we enthusiastically accompanied Slick over to the ride line. After a 30 minute wait amid buckles and boots – tennis shoe wearing slick finally got his turn. Slick was wobbly as hell on approach, jittering all over the bounce house-like fall mat floor. Slick eventually mounted the robo beast and the rodeo began. The bull went down, Slick snapped up. The bull went up, Slick slapped down on that shit like a sack of potatoes. Now, let me explain that Slick was wearing tight jeans. I think he thought they looked like cowboy jeans. But they did not have the same quality stitching, because when Slick's ass smacked down on that bull – he split his jeans clean open. The entire inseam right down to the knee. It was like make shift denim short chaps with matching denim leg warmers. Kevin, Tim and I almost pissed ourselves laughing. Odder even, Slick didn't know he was riding that bull in his panties until the end of the ride, where he was ultimately tossed head over foot 5 to 10 feet, exactly 4 seconds after the ride began.
After about 2 minutes of adrenaline detox, Slick noticed his jeans. Slick was pissed. Drunk Kevin and Tim then said, "Hey man! I think we can fix 'em up!" We retreated to the car where Tim whipped out a giant roll of duct tape from the trunk. (I've since learned that most boys are traveling with duct tape in their trunk. Duct tape to boys must be like extra shoes to girls.) Tim and Kevin then began to piece the jeans back together with the tape. By the end of it all, we retuned to The Country Corral dance floor with Slick and his new shiny silver jeans.
It's worth noting that at about 3:45AM we were cutting said jeans off of Slick outside a Waffle House. Lots of beer and booze make permanent duct tape jeans a poor choice in apparel.
Cinnamon Flavored Co-worker
I had a co-worker named Matt. I say "had" not because he died or anything, he just went to rock the world in places more appreciative of his awesomeness.
Before he left, we (my co-worker friends) asked Matt to do the Cinnamon Challenge. He was warned it was impossible, but he went balls in anyways! The cinnamon, however, did not go in. It just poofed out of his face like a giant brown dust vortex. The expression on Matt's face while the cinnamon dust was billowing out of him is priceless. I laughed 'til I almost peed myself because about the eyes he just looked like he was just waiting for the bus. After he got through the 10 minutes of spiced attack, he mustered up the strength to get out the following comment:
"There… was no… where for it… to go but… up"
Which made us laugh even harder because it didn't make any sense.
Please note: this is not vomit. It's just a cinnamon cloud billowing out of Matt's mouth at an alarming rate.
Ever since "The Challenge," Matt will not eat cinnamon anything.
***I DO NOT recommend that anyone tries the Cinnamon Challenge because Rhonda and Fabian say it is dangerous and that you will certainly die. I'm glad that Matt did not perish.***
Congratulations blog visitors, you just met the most bad-ass co-worker in the country!
Here's the original Cinnamon Challenge that inspired our hi-jinx, by one Miss Sassy GloZell.
***I DO NOT recommend that anyone tries the Cinnamon Challenge because Rhonda and Fabian say it is dangerous and that you will certainly die. I'm equally glad that GloZell did not perish. I DO recommend that GloZell purchases some regular teaspoons.***

Gia Coppola's debut film is ambient, almost indolent teen drama that features sparks of wit, but ultimately is too laidback for its own good, and fails to distinguish itself.
Based on James Franco's short stories, it's also going to suffer from the stigma of Franco's appearance in the film as 'a handsome soccer coach' (to quote the Edinburgh Film Festival programme), who makes a move on Emma Roberts' April under cover of babysitting requirements.
The link between the method actor's real life Instagram incident and this character makes him even creepier, as does the fact that none of these people are any good at football, so he can't be in it for love of the sport. A note to all directors: football rarely looks convincing in films, and neither does giving the clearly right-footed Roberts no clear position and the number 3 jersey. She's no Asamoah Gyan.
Nonetheless, the team aren't supposed to be especially good, and Creepy Franco (or 'Cranco', as the obvious portmanteau would have it) is also meant to be creepy and desperate. The focus is on April and Teddy (Jack Kilmer, son of Val; who also pops up here in an amusing cameo), who both obviously fancy each other but are being led astray and pulled apart by Cranco and Teddy's best friend Fred (Nat Wolff, with a big, charismatic performance as an obnoxious dickhead).
While Palo Alto is well acted, and flows languidly along with a hazy blissed out vibe, it isn't especially gripping. I can't help but feel that the tales it sluggishly spins are now too familiar, and while its verisimilitude is laudable, it doesn't make for a novel or interesting take on tropes such as the 'good kid' who's lost his way, or the girl and the teacher's illicit relationship. Well-observed, yes, but also well worn.
It doesn't help that many of the adult characters, in their fleeting appearances, are more interesting people despite being kept on the periphery. The woman whose car Teddy crashes into, his art teacher and even an old folks' carer with two lines feel more intriguing by virtue of no-one making endless films about them.
Teenagers are, of course, a significant portion of the market and intense in their feelings, but once you've moved past that stage it feels like you want to spend more time with the – admittedly outlandish – older eccentrics than the headstrong braggarts and hormone spurters.
Overall, the feeling is of a more aimless film than Palo Alto actually is, and despite the 100 minute running time it felt like a slog. While moments of endearing nuttiness and good editing raise some chuckles its lack of originality, and indeed vitality, make it far from engaging. No matter how well made a film is it's hard to recover from that.
Released in UK cinemas later this year.

Selby Organ Appeal Half Way to Target
3:36pm 25th March 2013
Selby Abbey organ appeal nearly half way to target.
- World-famous Edwardian organ needs urgent restoration
- Generous contributions from many local people
- Sharing of appeal details online is proving popular
- Iconic organ recitals from 1960s to be re-released
The Selby Abbey Organ Appeal, launched in June 2012, is already well ahead of target; the fund currently stands at £300,000 with an estimated further £375,000 to be raised. There are seven major donors and the lead major donor is The Liz and Terry Bramall Foundation which has generously given £100,000. The Prince of Wales' Charitable Foundation has also contributed and there have been many individual donations from local people.
The Abbey's Edwardian-era organ is in urgent need of careful restoration and there is a risk it will be unplayable within five years. It was designed and built specifically for the Abbey in 1909 by William Hill, who was a leading English organ builder of world renown. The Abbey organ is widely regarded as a masterpiece. It has been patched and repaired a number of times but now its mechanisms are worn out and in need of complete refurbishment. Once the money has been raised it will take about 9 months for the work to be done and will mean the organ will be conserved for at least a generation. Organs are still hand-built, using centuries-old techniques with costly raw materials. This organ is as large as the largest cathedral organs in the country and therefore will cost just as much to restore.
The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu is the Appeal patron. He said: "I am delighted the four-year appeal has made such good progress less than a year from its launch. One of the best things about the appeal is the way it has engaged many local people who rightly value the organ both for worship and for enjoyment and are determined that this world-famous instrument should not become unplayable."
The word-of-mouth success of the appeal has partly been achieved by the online benefactors' book in which people can comment and share the book with their friends, pledge donations and sponsor individual pipes. The book is at www.theonlinebookcompany.com/selbyabbey and it will become a permanent record of the appeal and a testament to the way the organ is cherished by music-lovers throughout the UK and abroad.

Functional and Decorative Ottomans
Ottomans are extremely versatile pieces in home design. They not only give you a place to prop up your feet and add a decorative touch to a room, but they also can be used as coffee tables or storage pieces. Here, we've compiled a number of examples of ottomans as a gem in both function and form:
At Home on the Range, we've used ottomans as coffee tables in multiple Western interior design projects—they just work so well!
This is a fun little ottoman seat in a closet:
Another smart place for an ottoman is at the foot of a bed, like in this chic bedroom design.
This tufted ottoman is another great example of an ottoman as a coffee table.
How have you incorporated ottomans in your home? Leave a comment to share, or feel free to post pictures of your own versatile ottomans on our Facebook page. We'd love to see them!

Fanss of I Am Number Four, The Maze Runner, and Legend will love this sophisticated adventure series by the co-creator of the groundbreaking television show Twin Peaks, with its unique combination of mystery, heart-pounding action, and the supernatural.
After exposing the sinister underground society of students known as the Knights of Charlemagne, Will West stays at the Center over the summer to explore his newly developing physical and mental abilities. Meanwhile, his roommates investigate the Knights' shadowy purpose and discover unsettling information about their own backgrounds. Will and his friends must quickly figure out what's going on and separate friend from foe as they prepare for the coming fight.

"Cliff Hanger. Unoriginal setting."
Cliff hangers are noxious. Tolkien's format is better. Frodo is stung by Shelob and is dead. A contemporary cliff hanger would end there. But Tolkien built the suspense as Sam tries to continue the quest and overhears orc soldiers talking. It end's with Frodo captured and Sam covertly infiltrating the enemy stronghold. It ends on hope. The reader is left with hopeful anticipation awaiting the next book. Alliance ends with almost complete defeat.
Secondly, the background is becoming overworked in contemporary novels: the majority of the world is clueless, the world world is in jeopardy and the bad guys are better organized, more persistent, and have greater numbers and resources. Frost's first book was better balanced with small assists from marginal characters like Nondo. Alliance draws too heavily on the strengths of the first book: character development and social interaction. An excellent narrator helps too.
Alliance was good, but it's like Mark gave us all the meat and no potatoes. Everything that happened was interesting, but hardly anything actually happened. You just learned a lot about the 5 and then the Knights. But it was also like he just wrote off everybody else from book one. I guess the best way to differentiate between book 1 and 2, is that while 1 dragged on at times, but it carried a lot of weight. While 2 was all excitement, but had no weight to it. I hope 3 is a happy medium.
"Outstanding 2nd book in a series"
From my point of view, usually second books in a trilogy are like Bridges; getting you from 1 to 3. This, however, was a tour de force in and of itself. In other words I loved it. I just started Rogue and that is a phenomenal start. Rob
"Not as good as Book 1 but still worth listening to"
The author spent way too much time walking through the caverns to find the keys. This seemed to take over 3 hours to complete. Once that was completed the action picked up.
"well written besides for slang and fowl language "
Really love the story line and the narrator really brings the characters to life. My only gripe is the fowl language and some dirty inuendo. Not my taste. Fortunately it is not enough to destroy the story but it is certainly on the edge.
"good listen"
dont know
good theam i just did not like the way it was ended. left you hanging too much
in line with mocking jay and the new one coming out

Weather and climate: Engaging the Youth.
In my opinion, we should hold a campaign to raise local people's awareness of the importance of ecological lifestyle.
For example, we could make leaflets covering the information about sorting out of waste, trying not to litter the places where they live, using disposable packets and bags.
We could also encourage the students to organize a spring cleaning campaign both inside and outside our school and their houses and to involve everybody living nearby our school and the residents of their house.

Sharp Spending Responsible for California's Fiscal Woes
June 3, 2003
As Proposition 13's 25th anniversary approaches, it has come under fire for California's ongoing fiscal crisis, says Michael J. New of the Cato Institute. Proposition 13, also known as Jarvis-Gan, was a 1978 citizen's initiative that rolled-back property tax rates and limited future increases.
In its 25 years, Proposition 13 has served as an all-purpose whipping boy for individuals unsatisfied with some aspect of California's budget or fiscal policy. However, insufficient property tax revenue is not to blame for California's current fiscal shortfall, says New.
Instead, the primary culprit is California's rapid rate of expenditure growth.
- Between 1980 and 2000, state and local spending in California doubled in real terms.
- Since 1995, the state budget has grown by 58 percent.
As a result, if California residents are serious about preventing fiscal crises in the future, they should focus their efforts on curbing state spending by enacting constitutional spending limits, says New. Recent history from California and elsewhere indicates that this might be the best strategy for limiting the size of government during the next 25 years.

Apparently one of the set rules when growing us is learning how to ride a bike. I apparently was not told this rule when growing up nor was my mother ( mom I forgive you for this). That's right I never learned how to ride a bike. I don't know if this was due to my nose always being in a book, or the fact that when my mom would lock us out of the house he never left a bike out for the kids to play with and unlike some members in my family I wasn't going to "borrow" the neighbors bike.
Yet it could be that I never found the activity of balancing on two wheels to get somewhere very fun. I would rather walk, which I did a lot of growing up.
Yet not learning has come back to hunt me. I have found myself jealous of the people who ride up and down the trail near my home. This jealousy only gets worse when those people have a baby seat on the back and baby or toddler is fast asleep with not a care in the world. Oh and the now eight year old who ride their bikes enjoy their summer vacation… yes I may envy them. I admit it I am jealous of the little kids in my neighborhood.
Yet today I have decided to do something for myself and learn how to ride a bike! I am quiet excited though I have realized learning may end up with me wishing my local hospital had a rewards card seeing my family is always there for some odd reason.
I am giving myself the summer to learn. Hopefully after that you will see me speeding away with two kids connected behind me because apparently riding a bike and babywearing your child is frowned upon. Sigh

A survey of mums and dads has found that many parents let their young teenage children enjoy adult pursuits from the age of 14, with pubs and nightclub visits becoming the norm at 16.
The researchers revealed that children of just 14 are allowed to wear high heels, use social networking sites and go on holiday with their friends, whilst 16 year-olds go to pubs and nighclubs with their parents blessing - despite being under age.
The poll found that 13-year-olds are generally allowed to wear make-up, start a relationship, own a mobile and have a computer in their bedroom.
Two thousand mums were polled for the www.MumPoll.com report. A spokesman admitted that 'growing up too fast' was most parents concern - despite the findings suggesting mums and dads go along with it: 'Having the children grow up too fast is of major concern for most parents. We can't bear the idea of our little ones, who are reliant on us for so long, growing up and becoming more independent. But kids grow up quickly and allowing them to make their own decisions from a relatively early age can help mould them as individuals.
'Whether or not kids adhere to their parental guidelines remains to be seen. Who knows what they do when they're not under the watchful glare of mum and dad.'
What do you think?
At what age did you (or will you) let your teens go to pubs or on holiday with friends?

TerraCycle Tablet Case Review
TerraCycle is an international leader in finding innovative uses for previously non-recyclable waste destined for landfills.
Retired United States Postal Service mail bags have been transformed into messenger bags and iPad/tablet cases. Each bag/case is individually stitched together, giving each one its own unique design. Additionally, in partnership with rural villages in Guatemala, rustic bracelets are made out of old tent material. These products are great for eco-friendly shoppers, and for those looking for something unusual to catch the eye, these products definitely stand out from the rest.
I received the TerraCycle iPad/Tablet Case at no cost in exchange for my honest review.
What was once used to protect your mail can now be used to protect your email! TerraCycle's iPad case is made from upcycled USPS mailbags, which are weatherproof and coated inside with gentle ultrasuede to protect your iPad or tablet from any surface damage. Each case is lined with a zipper to fully enclose your tablet and outside pockets can hold chargers and cords. Each mailbag has a unique history and rustic look that are reflected in your case. Price: $55.00
My Review
I love the uniqueness of this tablet case. It has a weathered, distressed look to it that is original to any other case I've had. I like that it has such a great design, and it's sturdy and soft enough to actually protect my tablet and phone too. This case has enough room to carry a larger tablet, a cell phone, and a few extras. The inside is a super soft suede material that will protect, and won't scratch, the face of my tablet and phone. The outside is made from the material of mailbags so it holds up really well to being carried, set down wherever, weather and day to day usage. I have a Nook tablet and a large ZTE Max phone so I can't find the cute little cases they make for most phones. I usually don't have a pocket big enough for my phone either. I can use this case to carry my phone, keys, wallet and a few other essentials, and still have room to put my tablet in there when I need it.

Making adjustments
The lady who starred in Deepa Mehta's Midnight's Children told CS, "While there is a lot of pampering on most film sets, Deepa's film was high on intense preparation.
All of us actors had to share a single make-up artist and compromise on many luxuries. But that helped us bond better as a team."
The pretty lady who was seen as royalty in her latest release further says that set ups don't matter as long as the team, script and director are good. Well Soha, this attitude is indeed refreshing in an industry known for its tantrums.

Demons too strong for tiring Dockers
Melbourne played a near-faultless fourth quarter to defeat Fremantle by 31 points at Subiaco Oval.
The Demons won 13.15 (93) to 9.8 (62), kicking six goals and keeping the Dockers point-less in a final term played in torrential rain.
Peter Vardy led the way with four goals for the match as the Demons showed amazing skill in combating the wet-weather conditions.
In a tough opening quarter, Melbourne grabbed an early two-goal lead through Cameron Bruce and Chris Heffernan.
Luke McPharlin responded for the Dockers with his first goal of the match before Des Headland broke down the left side of the field to find Jeff Farmer who took a strong mark near the goal square.
Farmer levelled scores for Fremantle with his major.
Vardy kicked the Demon's third goal of the quarter although it was questionable whether the goal posts were his intended target.
Taking the ball on the left flank, he kicked into the goal square looking for a Demon target, yet with no team-mate present, the ball dribbled unassisted through for a goal.
A Russell Robertson six-pointer from a poor Dockers' clearance from the goal square late in the quarter, set Melbourne up for a 4.3 (27) to 2.2 (14) lead at quarter-time.
As rain started to fall and the ground became slippery under foot, winning the contests became harder for both teams.
Matthew Pavlich and McPharlin put the Dockers back in touch with Melbourne but Bruce's second and Brock McLean's first ever AFL goal kept the Demon's ahead at half-time.
Melbourne led 6.7 (43) to 4.5 (29) at the main break, however the third quarter belonged to the Dockers.
They kicked five goals to one with Paul Medhurst picking up a double while McPharlin and Pavlich added to their totals as the Dockers took the lead from the visitors.
Exciting rookie Aaron Davey registered the Demon's only major score late in the quarter but Troy Simmonds countered for the Dockers with a goal, leaving the home side in front at the final change 9.8 (62) to 7.8 (50).
The fourth-quarter conditions made the ball resemble a cake of soap when in the hands of the players.
And while the momentum had swung in the favour of Fremantle during the third-quarter, it was Melbourne who adapted best to the wet weather.
David Neitz, kept goal-less all day, finally got on the scoreboard with his only major before Vardy took the match by the scruff of the neck, kicking three straight goals.
Vardy lifted when his team needed him most, his second goal of the final quarter showing his ability to work with a tight angle up the right flank.
Robertson toed through a second goal and Bruce finished the comeback with a six-pointer in the dying minutes.
Melbourne retain second position on the AFL ladder via percentages while Fremantle have dropped to eighth position.

Paytm promocodes : Why To Pay Full? Enjoy Cashback
The World of Discounts
Discounts are likely to bring a company loyal customers. Therefore, companies in today's competitive world provide discounts for their customers in huge amounts. These discounts not only drive people towards the company but also guarantee a repeat purchase in most cases. Hence, discounts are something that the world loves to have on the items that are the most appealing.
Paytm promocodes are codes that offer discounts to customers on various diamond products. These codes allow customers to purchase the item at a discounted price compared to its original price, which is usually high, especially in the case of diamonds. The codes are quite beneficial for a few obvious reasons, which are as follows:
- There is a lot of stuff available in the market that may appear to be quite appealing but are out of one's range. The only way to purchase such an expensive item is to buy it at a discount, the option of which may not be available throughout the year. However, if one has a promo code, they can easily get the item at a discounted price without worrying about the cost. Thus, you can get your hands on the item you want without spending too much.
- These promo codes are easy to use. They can even be used online if you prefer to shop online. All one needs to do is shop for the stuff they want and then show the code at the counter while making the payment. The code will get their payment reduced by the amount specified by the code. In the case of online shopping, you will have to enter the code at the checkout.
Hence, the benefits that promo codes offer make them desirable. The codes are even available online for people to purchase. They belong to various categories and offer different discounts at different prices.
Discount on Food
The food industry has been flourishing with time as people have started spending more on fast food. The reason for this increase may include people's escalating disposable income or their growing liking towards fast food. Be it any occasion or celebration, people are likely to dine out with their friends, family, or alone. As a result of the increase in fast food consumption, we can conclude that people are spending more on it than they did in the past. The increased spending, if fueled with discounts, can make companies achieve remarkable sales.
Promo codes are quite beneficial when it comes to offering discounts to customers on food items. Though food is not always expensive enough that it does not fall within the range of an individual, a little discount is always appreciated. Therefore, the promo codes by nature are discount coupons that allow people to purchase food items at discounted rates, making them more affordable and allowing you to save some money.
Dominos Promo Code
Dominos offers its coupon codes online for buyers to benefit. These codes are easy to use and offer as much as a discount of Rs. 100 on the product ordered or another pizza free. The codes can be provided to the staff at checkout for to avail the discount.
As mentioned above, the promo code offers a straight discount of Rs. 100 on the order placed or get another pizza free on your first purchase. Moreover, the discounts also promise repeat purchase for the company due to being a less costly option for customers.
In a nutshell, the coupon codes are both beneficial for the company and customers too. They allow customers to enjoy their food at the least possible cost and benefit the company by providing them more customers and hence higher sales.

Jonny Venters entered Tuesday night's game in Atlanta with a 4-0 lead, a runner on first and one out. Here's what happened:
Curtis Granderson: slider in dirt; fastball called strike; fastball inside; fastball, slow grounder into the hole between third and short for a hit.
Mark Teixeira: fastball in dirt; fastball away; fastball in; fastball for a called strike; fastball that went about 59 feet for ball four.
Alex Rodriguez: fastball in dirt; slider in dirt; fastball in dirt; called strike; low and in fastball popped foul; low and in fastball fouled off foot; low fastball down the middle lined to left for a grand slam home run.
Robinson Cano: slider way outside; fastball in for ball; fastball, soft liner to center for a base hit.
Four batters, four bad results, four runs and then the loss when Nick Swisher greeted Cory Gearrin with a two-run homer. (Where was Craig Kimbrel, you ask? Nowhere to be found, of course. Closers can't pitch in the eighth or be forced to get five outs.)
A year ago, Venters posted a 1.84 ERA, held hitters to a .176 average and went 6-3 with five saves. This year, he's 3-3 with a 4.50 ERA and .330 opponents' average.
Ben Duronio of our Capitol Avenue Club blog on the Braves wrote a post today saying Venters is just fine. In fact, he titled the post "Jonny Venters is just fine." Ben writes, "Venters currently has a BABIP of .439 compared to a .288 career average, with a HR/FB rate of 33.3% compared to a career rate of 9.5%. If you think those rates will continue, I do not know what to tell you."
I went back and watched Tuesday's performance. While neither Granderson or Cano hit the ball hard, it's also true that Venters was horrible, falling behind all four hitters and throwing six of his 19 pitches in the dirt. The ball A-Rod hit for the slam was the third straight fastball in the same general location. With Venters not trusting his slider with the bases loaded, A-Rod was able to sit on the fastball.
That's just one game. Ben has been watching Venters all year and it's true that his strikeout and walk percentages are pretty much the same as last year. With the movement he gets on both his hard sinker and slider, he's always going to walk his share of hitters, so control is never going to be a strong suit. And while the Granderson and Cano hits are good examples of soft singles, it's all also true Venters is not throwing to the same location as consistently as last year.
Here are the heat maps of all his pitches in 2011 and 2012. They don't look the same to me.
I'm with Ben in that Venters is likely to improve moving forward. But I'm also not sure he's going to be a reliable eighth-inning guy. His approach in the A-Rod at-bat was also terrible. Last year, he probably gets A-Rod to strike out or ground out on a 3-2 slider. This year, he falls behind and A-Rod knows the fastball is coming.
As my friend MK the Braves fan told me, "And without fail, I wake up weeping the morning after he pitches."
What do the Braves do? Kris Medlen has been getting stretched out as a starter in the minors. He may return as a starter (although Mike Minor pitched well on Tuesday) or maybe he just goes back to the pen. Eric O'Flaherty, also so good a year ago, has a sore elbow and has been unavailable for a few days. He hasn't pitched as well as last season either. Maybe Fredi Gonzalez turns the eighth inning over to Cristhian Martinez, who has been solid as the team's middle guy.
Or, less likely, Kimbrel could also be brought in on occasion with runners on base. But Kimbrel hasn't pitched in the eighth inning all year, so that doesn't seem to be in Gonzalez's playbook. Maybe Kimbrel's arm will fall off if he has to get more than three outs.
Regardless, with the Braves' rotation just 12th in ERA in the National League, they need more than just Kimbrel to be effective at the end of games.

Lisa spends the day with the youth of the Blomvlei Library
Lisa Krohn, one of the founding members and current trustee of the TCD Trust spent the day checking in on one of our top projects in Cape Town, the Blomvlei Library. Lisa's sister travelled from Australia to meet the smiling faces of children studying in the library. She brought her map and took the opportunity to teach the room about Australia.
