9. Axvue E650 Video Baby Monitor with 5.0" LCD Screen
This video monitoring system comes with a 5-inch TFT-LCD screen with infrared night vision capability. The 2.4gHz wireless, 2-way audio technology gives you the feature of portability. Also, included are the following:
- Control the camera in a 360-degree swivel or 90-degrees upwards from the screen unit

- Upto 4 cameras can be connected to single unit
- The beauty lies in the fact that the camera switches feed every 8 seconds or so
- You also get the feature to zoom in on your child with the camera 2X focusing mode
8. Lyker Video Baby Monitor with Digital Camera
In many ways, this entry is similar to the last, but the reason why it's placed higher is that it comes with extra features. But first, here's the complete package.
- There's a high quality camera onboard that provides HD feed to its 2.4-inch TFT-LCD screen
- Infrared vision lets you view your baby's activities even at night without turning on the lights
- The thermometer in the camera records room temperature and relays it to the screen in real time

- The entire system also comes with features, such as lullabies, 360-degree camera rotation, 60-degree camera tilt, 2X camera zoom, LED indicator to detect sound
7. Babysland Video Baby Monitor with Night Vision Camera
Baby monitoring just got simpler and convenient with this unit. Why? Well, at least now you can focus on other duties without having to be right next to your child. But that's not all you get because this unit is a bundle of surprises.
- For instance, there is a 2-way audio channel embedded in the system so that you and your baby can listen to each others' voices

6. Palermo HD Video Baby Monitor with Wifi Surveillance Camera
Unlike other entries before, this video monitoring system loops in WiFi. Yes, you heard that right. Now you don't have to worry about moving out of range for the video feed.
- The camera connects to the WiFi system that allows you to keep an eye on your child from your phone
- Just download the app with a few taps, connect to the internet, keep the camera connected to the WiFi system and stream video feed from your child's room
- Comes with infrared for night vision and motion-detection feature
- 2-way audio channel is also built into the camera
The camera and phone app also allow you to record video and audio in high definition or take pictures. Perhaps the best feature this monitoring system is its ability to connect to other devices which are also connected to the WiFi. For instance, WiFi enabled smoke detectors, door locks, lights for a single cohesive security unit for your child when you're away.
5. FREDI Baby Monitor with 1080p WIFI IP Surveillance Camera
Here is a video monitoring system that not only qualifies as a watchful eye for your baby but also for any environment, be it office, shops, residences, and the like. The reason why this can also be used as a security camera is that it has a wide 185-degree viewing angle on its camera. The video feed can be received on your phone after downloading the camera app. However, you need to be connected to the internet; and so does the camera.
There is also a motion detecting sensor in the camera that instantly takes a snapshot when there is slight movement within its field of vision and sends it to you along with a message. The IR filter within the camera relays high definition image and video feed to your phone.
4. Babysense Video Baby Monitor with LCD Display

- Switch between video-only or audio-only modes to conserve battery
- Play polyphonic lullabies to soothe your baby and monitor room temperature with the camera's thermometer
1. Infant Optics DXR-8 Video Baby Monitor with Interchangeable Optical Lens
This video monitoring system finds itself at number one on this list because it offers little extra features than the rest. The first has to be the additional, interchangeable, optical attachment that can be swapped for more viewing angles and zoom. Power-packed battery with upto 10 hours of playback in power saving mode and 6 hours in normal mode. It also has an additional optical zoom lens.
A video monitoring system for your child has to include night vision, temperature monitoring sensor, audio and motion detecting sensors. Apart from these, it must be able to run without any glitches and must be able to offer crisp audio and video feeds.
Although the buyer's guide and all entries here tell you what a video monitoring system must feature, always try to catch hold of a person who has used a monitoring system before. That way, you'll know what should be the best buy for your family.

| Three weeks from today my plane will be landing in New York City. I remember a year ago, when
there were only three weeks until my plane left for Thailand. So much has happened in that time, and it
seems as though the year has flown by. I decided to teach abroad for a couple of reasons. The first was
that I was having a coming-of-real-adult-age life crisis. I felt like I had to do something really
challenging and amazing so that ten years from now when I'm driving my kids to soccer practice I'll
never have to wonder what I could have done, and if I actually had what it takes to do it. The second
reason is that I just wanted to live in a country other than the United States, at least for a little bit. As a
social studies teacher and history nerd, I thought (and now firmly believe) that it's important to leave one'
s home to really understand it and how it fits into the bigger global picture. I did not study abroad in
college, and that is something I always regretted. The third reason that compelled me to teach abroad
was my job teaching in the United States. For four years I was a high school history teacher in
Philadelphia. I can look back and romanticize it now, but the reality is that I hated my job. It was never
really teaching, and I was jaded and burnt out by the end of those four years. I really needed to refresh
my perspective on teaching, and to also see if it was teaching in general I didn't like, or just that particular
So I made the decision to teach abroad. I got my CTESOL and started to look for jobs. Being the
organized person that I am, I looked long and hard into many options—country and school wise. First I
had to ask myself what I really wanted out of this experience. I decided that I did not want to be cold for
an entire year, that I wanted to be able to go to the beach, that I wanted to be able to enjoy the cuisine,
that I wanted to be somewhere with a rich cultural history, and that I wanted to be somewhere people
would really want to visit me. Thailand was the answer to all of this. I have enjoyed warm weather,
gorgeous beaches, beautiful temples, delicious foods, and lengthy visits from my family and friends. None
of this, of course, could have been possible without my having a job at Super English.
In retrospect, I definitely made the right choice with Super English. Super English appealed to me
because it was in Thailand, it was in close proximity to beaches, it provides free housing, and it has a
unique educational and business approach. As a Super English teacher I have had enough time off to visit
many places in Thailand and Southeast Asia. More importantly, I have met and bonded with an amazing
group of teachers who have accompanied me on these journeys. The staff here really feels like family,
which is crucial when you're so far away from home and everything that is familiar.
It is really wonderful, as a teacher, to work for Super English. Peter allows us to design our own
curriculum based on the predetermined language targets. This gave me a lot of freedom. At first it
totally freaked me out because I was used to a "planning and scheduling" timeline that told me exactly
what page and exact topic I should be on each and every day. To have so much freedom was
overwhelming for me at first, but I came to really appreciate it. I think it allowed me to actually be a
teacher for the first time, and not some robot feeding predetermined information. It was also really great
for me, because having fun is a big part of the teaching and learning experience. As foreign English
teachers, our duties don't lie as much in the academic and grammar aspects of English education, but
more in allowing the students to have conversational experience with native speakers. Having fun and
playing games is important, because if they are having fun they (a) don't realize how much they're
learning and (b) really look forward to coming to and participating in class.
In addition to the teaching approach being different from what I was used to, the kids here are entirely
different. In Philadelphia I worked only with teenagers who had a penchant for cursing me out, and
many had no interest in learning or desire to do any work. The students I have had here have been, for
the most part, constantly happy, respectful, and hardworking. Possibly the most amazing aspect for me
has been actually being able to see and track their progress. When I was teaching history and social
science, aside from the occasional conversation it was really hard to tell if anyone had really learned
anything, or if they had only temporarily remembered the information for a test or writing assignment.
When you teach English, especially to little kids, it's amazing. The transformation is profound, and it
really made an impression on me. I am proud to say that I finally know for sure that I have successfully
taught someone something.
I will be forever grateful to Super English and to Peter for giving me the opportunity to revive my
passion for teaching.

Digital curation is the "active management of digital resources over the life-cycle of scholarly and scientific interest." We will discuss several activities that can be undertaken once a collection is online in order to improve scholarly access. State of the art access depends on the acknowledgement of both social and technical aspects of the way information is indexed by online search engines. Effective curation allows researchers to discover relevant collections they weren't already aware of prior to conducting an online search. Examples of curation activities to be discussed and demonstrated include: creating detailed metadata, building a rich scholarly context on collection landing pages, creating useful subcollection divisions, and contributing to appropriate sites in ways that support online discoverability.

It's that time of year again, when the phone company dumps 8 lbs of dead trees on everyone's doorstep. I get rankled every time they show up, because:
- They're irrelevant! Does anyone even use phone books any more? For those of us with this new thing called The Internet, there's a faster way to get richer, more current information. That is, unless I really am looking for the ambulance chaser with the biggest ad budget, or for the phone number of AAAAA Locksmith.
- What a waste. 8 lbs × 650,000 households in the Indianapolis area = 2,600 tons of paper consumed. While phone books are (barely) recyclable, and they not printed on virgin paper, this volume of paper represents around 153 trees.
- Phone books are unwelcome in common recycling programs. Because Fishers is not forward thinking enough to have a municipal recycling program, citizens must take it upon themselves to find a recycling center willing to accept phone books. For example, the common Abitibi bins that can be found at local churches and schools, explicitly do not want phone books because phone book paper fibers are so fine that their pulp is essentially unusable. Phone books are the end of the road for recyclable paper fibers.
- The phone company makes it our problem to dispose of them. I did not ask for a phone book, but I have to pay to dispose of it, because I write a quarterly check to the garbage collection company/recycling service. This is the same situation that caused telemarketing to mobile phone customers to be banned. They're marketing to me on my dime. The least that phone companies should be doing is collecting outdated phone books themselves, at their cost.
- Get off my lawn! Last spring, the bag of phone books was dropped unceremoniously at the base of our mail box, directly atop a patch of daffodils in full bloom. Yesterday, it was dropped at our doorstep, but there were wheel tracks across the front yard from the delivery person traipsing through everyone's yards. Carpet-bomb marketing like this is disrespectful of people's property.
This year I noticed a small box on the front cover suggesting a phone number to call for recycling information. I called it, and after typing in my zip code, the robot informed me that I could leave it in my curbside bin (we don't have such a service) or take it to a collection center. This I found extraordinarily helpful.
My next step was to call the "place an ad" phone number and ask to opt out of phone book delivery. I was immediately transferred to the "do not deliver" department. This is apparently exactly what I wanted. To stop AT&T phone book delivery, call (866) 329‑7118 and ask to be placed on the "do not deliver" list. Specify carefully that you want zero delivery of any books. Budget 10 minutes of your time for this. (Surprise, the phone company wants to keep you on the line and use up your minutes!)
Additionally, Yellow Book is another phone book publisher that delivers to the Fishers area. Yellow Book has a website where you can submit your address to their do not deliver list. Not surprisingly, they try to make it a little more difficult than necessary to select what book you don't want (remember, a phone book publisher has every incentive to keep sending you books, so that they can quote high circulation numbers to potential advertisers). For Fishers, select "Hamilton County, IN."
AT&T says that the do not deliver list will be effective for three years. After that, they will call every year to see if maybe you changed your mind.

Barpak village is located upon the hilltop about 1900 meter high from sea level at the north of Gorkha approximately 47 KM away from Gorkha Bazaar. Bareback is famous as village of late VC Capt. Gage Gael who won highest honors Victoria Cross medal in the Second World War in Burma. He was also decorated with Nepal Tara by the late King of Nepal.There is a local myth that there was Ghale king who ruled Barpak and surroundings Gorkaha.
It used to be a trail for salt traded between Tibetans and Newares of Kathmandu in the early day of 1400 BC. During the unification campaign, let by the Shaha dynasty of Nepal by king Drabya Shah and Prithibi Narayan Shah they called Gael King for peace talk and was believed to be tricked and mapped out in animal on the sandy bank of Daraudhi River.Barpak has nearly 1200 households and nearly 15 thousand population mainly with Gael and Gurung tribes. There are small numbers of Kami, Damai and Sunar in the village serving the community from generation after generation.
Barpak has sole historical significance despite its isolation from mainstream politics and bustling city. Its breathtaking natural beauty has melted so many hearts and drawn so many people from around the world. It has been visited by German chancellor Dr. Roman Herzog in early 97. The unique sloppy shape of the village with clustered stone tile-roofed housed believe to be the reason behind main attractions for the people wishing to visit Barpak once they have seen pictures of Barpak. A backpack is one of the stopover village routes of trekking around Manaslu. Peak has attracted countless tourist with is genuine hospitality of and natural beauty.
The 7.8 magnitude Earthquake that struck Nepal on 25 April 2015 which center point was in Barpak has left a terrible trail of death, destruction and desperation, unsurpassed in the history of Barpak. The latest statistics show that over 68 people lost their lives, many sustained injuries, nearly 1200 houses collapsed and around 6,000 people displaced from their homes. The earthquake has further caused a devastating blow to Nepal's fledgling economy with tremendous losses in terms of property, assets and infrastructures. It is a very basic home stay now and many of the house are going to rebuild so that one of the unique ways to help Barpak people and Nepal in this difficult time seems to be by visiting Barpak. Because whatever you spend on your visit will directly benefit Barpak people who are living in remote villages and who have suffered the most.

Surveys and Questionnaires
The terms survey and questionnaire are often used interchangeably, however there is a significant difference between the two.
Survey – the general collection, recording, and analysis of information on a specific topic from a group of individuals in order to measure opinions, thoughts, or experiences.
Questionnaire – a form containing a set of written questions designed to obtain statistically useful information from individuals.
These two are similar in that they both are methods used to acquire data from respondents based on questions. However, a survey encompasses all aspects of the research process, including design, survey construction, sampling method, data collection and analysis.
A survey gathers the results of multiple questionnaires from a set group so that a statistical analysis can be conducted on the aggregated data. A questionnaire, on the other hand, is just a type of survey. Other types of surveys include face-to-face interviews, phone interviews, and polls.
About a Survey
A survey is a research process used to orderly collect and analyze information from a group of individuals to measure opinions, thoughts, or experiences. It is a way of conducting research where individuals are questioned, with respect to their behaviors, awareness, motivations, demographics, and other characteristics. It is not confined to gathering information using questions, but it also encompasses the collection, recording, measurements, and analysis of data.
There are several methods used in conducting surveys including:
- Face to face Interviews
- Telephone interviews
- Mail surveys
- Electronic surveys (i.e. web-based or email)
About a Questionnaire
A questionnaire is a form containing a series of questions, delivered to individuals for the purpose of obtaining statistical information.
It is a research tool that uses questions to get information from different individuals. The questions are framed in order to obtain straightforward answers from the respondents. Additionally, questionnaires focus mainly on quantitative data unlike an interview where in depth and detailed information is accumulated.
Key Differences between Surveys and Questionnaires
- Process of collecting and analyzing data
- Time consuming process
- Is conducted
- Answers are subjective or objective
- Uses both open ended and close ended questions
- Conducted for research or studies
- Instrument of data collection
- Fairly quick process
- Is delivered
- Answers are objective
- Close-ended questions only
- Used to collect information on a topic

Parlez-vous français? So we made it to the city of love!
Even more tubes and tunnels here to get from point A to point B. You spend your whole life wondering what walking the streets of Paris will be like. I learned that the arches around the city were the ancient roman gates to the city! Centuries old! American history simply doesn't reach that far back. The eiffel tower stands majestically for all to see in every direction close to the the home of Mona Lisa, The Louvre. Oh The Louvre... that one sight could take two full days to fully take in. I have never seen such architectural magnificence.
On one of our days we walked the area of the Charlie shooting and uprising and were able to interview people that recalled that day. They comapre it tour our 9/11. I am proud to say that interview will be part of our Breaking Break book and film.
Parisian life. Fascinating.
We continued on to the next city in France, Lourdes. a 6 hour passenger train ride along the Pau River at the foot of the Pyrénées Mountains.
A beautiful, surreal mountain river valley with a glorious church as the center of tourism. This church was built OUT OF and carved out of the mountain. The church IS the mountain. Talk about the metaphor "solid rock" when it comes to Christianity. Breathtaking.
Goodbye France, see you soon.

Have you ever heard of an erasable notebook? Today, I am going to tell you all about it! Not only have I been reducing my paper waste with this reusable notebook, it is also lightweight and fully customisable with beautiful covers and numerous layouts such as to-do lists and weekly planners.
Greenstory proposes a sustainable and long-lasting alternative to paper notebooks. For the production of their customisable whiteboard notebooks, no trees are cut down and virtually no water is used, isn't this awesome? They also have an incredibly transparent supply chain and are constantly looking for alternatives to become even more sustainable.
Up until I discovered Greenstory, I've never really thought about the impact of the paper industry on the environment. I'm so happy that I get to showcase this incredibly creative and original company to you guys! Created by siblings Kaim and Yagmur Masmas with the goal to positively impact the world, they work with a simple and clear mindset: make great products, give personal client care and be sustainable by default.
You can't go wrong with any notebook by Greenstory but the "All-in-one Greenbook Package" will easily replace most of the paper items on your desk. My favourite thing about this particular Greenbook is that it has so many different layouts and it makes it so easy to organise my days, weeks and months with the planner pages. I can also use the different sections to separately plan my personal appointments, baby schedule, blog planning and so on.
Also, there's nothing like that feeling of accomplishment when you wipe out a to-do list at the end of the day. Oh yes, the wiping out… I'm a list freak – groceries, goals, to-do, meal plans, you name it! I always had several little notepads around, getting filled and creating waste. Moreover, your plans changed or appointments got canceled? No problem, no paper waste – simply erase them.
A standard GreenBook (starting at €16.50 – or a non-customisable erasable notepad at €13.50) has got only ten erasable pages. This is of course, because you can reuse them. Ten pages is a lot less than a typical notebook with about two hundred paper pages. The pages have a great feel, even though they are "whiteboard pages" and having a bit of shine to it, it's thin enough to feel just like paper which for me makes the experience even better!
First of all, it can be reused! Right there you have one of the easiest ways of living more sustainably – extending the lifespan of everything you consume. Moreover, if I want to change anything in my notebook, I simply click pages in and out of the binding. It was a fun process to while to figure out my ideal order! Curious how this works? There are several videos on this page. If I want to add any pages in the future then I can buy a set of pages instead of a whole new notebook. Also, I can refill the Magic Pen with the refill station. Very practical! Last but not least, my GreenBook arrived in recycled paper packaging.. Not just the envelope but the tape, the label… the works!
The add-on Vegan Leather Cover is simply glorious! Made fairly in a family atelier in Thailand, this animal-friendly cover it can be used over any A5 notebook or even standard books. It makes the notebook even more minimalistic and has a great feel, I actually want to keep touching it. Greenstory gets bonus points for the cover alone.

Should you try to optimize your website yourself – or is it better to outsource this task to an expert? It's a question many business owners ask.
But there's really no 'one size fits all'; solution; it really depends on how it fits around your skillset – and other responsibilities. If you run a very operational business, for example, you might just not have the right amount of time to devote to it.
And, even if you think you have the right internal resources, do you really have the expertise – where it counts?
Are you ready to move to the next level?
If you're ready to take your online presence to the next level, outsourcing its management can be a great idea. Or, you could get expert help with particular tasks, like optimisation – it's not necessarily an 'all or nothing' decision.
Getting expert help with SEO
Search Engine Optimisation is one area where it's really worth getting support – in part,because it's always evolving.
SEO basically means making sure your site is ranking as highly as possible and that as many customers as possible find you. And there are some straightforward steps you can take yourself on your site – good layout, metadata and navigation, for example.
You could also add blogs filled with original content, reviews, maps and other data to help improve your presence. But when it comes to more technical issues like structured data and snippets, adding HTML etc – do you start to feel a bit lost? That's understandable.
You could get to the stage where you're devoting so much time to all this that other areas of your business start to suffer. And no-one wants that.
So, if that's all ringing some bells – it really could be time to contact an SEO expert to get you on track. In business, you do need to think of economies of scale and investing wisely – you can't and shouldn't always do everything yourself.
What could an SEO expert offer?
An SEO expert could help by carrying out an audit of your current site and creating a strategy tailored to your needs. You could even find Content Management System specific support – a WordPress SEO agency for example – who can provide really valuable insights.
They'd be able to explain to you what would work best for your business – based on your business and choice of CMS. That could include anything from strengthening your site structure, optimizing content, integrating social media – or improving your page speeds.
And that could seriously help push your site up the search engine rankings, boosting your organic traffic, conversions and revenue.
Experts also understand best practice, so you'd avoid the pitfalls of being penalised for keyword stuffing or any other clumsy SEO practices. They know how to increase your traffic organically and the right agency will do this honestly and ethically.
So, in summary, we think it is worth investing in expert help when you want to move your online presence to the next level. The benefits for your brand, even of just an audit and some expert guidance, could be really significant.

A2Z – Victims
I had intended to write about something slightly different tonight… but instead I'm delving off track a little. I'm just feeling too hurt to write about anything else. So, it is what it is.
A few months ago I wrote about how our bikes had all been stolen. And how it broke my heart that someone would do something like that. I could go into details now, but instead I'll just refer you back to that first blog post: https://td365.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/some-people-do-rotten-things/
Well, today is my mom's 52nd birthday, and we spent the evening at my parent's place helping to celebrate her special day. We arrived home to discover that someone has now stolen our bike trailer (which also contained all of our helmets).
Seriously. Because it wasn't enough that someone already stole all of our bikes – which insurance won't completely cover (it will only cover a portion of Damon's and about half of mine). So now someone felt the need to take the bike trailer that I use to pull my daughter.
We've lived in this house for almost nine years… and these are really the only incidents we've ever had. I suppose I should be grateful for that, but instead it just leaves me feeling like crap. We love our little house in our lower income neighbourhood. We feel at home here. I know these thefts likely weren't personal, but they sure feel that way. We can't afford to replace these things. And it just breaks my heart that someone would take them from us. Stealing something I share with my daughter… It's just wrong. She's now scared that someone is going to steal her new swingset (that we bought her for her fourth birthday). 😦 So not cool.
So yeah… I'm bitching and moaning… but our bikes really were how we got around 3/4 of the year, and we AREN'T going to be able to afford to replace them with anything even close to what we had, and now the trailer and helmets are gone too??? So not cool, and that's another few hundred dollars that we don't have available to replace something that held so much value for us. I really am upset over this. It's just not cool. Not in any way shape or form. It hurts.

I'm in a house move process. For the first time in my life, I've got mindfulness to help me with such a thing.
It is acutely aware to me of our need to rush, of our need to make sure we have a concrete buyer so we can move quickly, efficiently and with as much ease as possible.
Only, this is often not the reality of it. So, how do we help ourselves in a labelled 'difficult' time?
I'd been doing very well, up until the last few days, where I was anticipating a call from someone who had been interested in the house. I became aware of losing my power, of going into my head and repeating phrases like: 'why haven't they rang me yet?', 'please ring, phone', 'sigh – they're not ringing, they don't want the house' etc etc etc. In fact, it became such that my mobile phone became a thing of derision; a thing I didn't want to keep staring at, but stare at it for long moments, I did. Until my mindfulness kicked in. It took longer than normal to come in, which I found interesting in itself.
However, there we have it – mindfulness: being aware of the present moment without judgment – has saved me once more from all these tenacious thought patterns we find ourselves in. There I was, thinking about an outcome. There I was was, thinking about the future. There I was, with anticipation, expectation and hopes. All of this made me feel on edge, nervous, frustrated, even a bit sad. All. Started. With. Thoughts.
Once I'd realised I was in these thought patterns, it was time to let go of them. It was time to tune back in to what is, where I am right now, which is sitting in the house. I'm not 'awaiting a phone call', I'm just sitting. Then I'm reading. Then I'm typing on a computer. Then I'm drinking my tea. That's it. This simplicity immediately relieved the tension.
From there, curiosity has taken me beyond the need for a quick sale of my house. It does not matter one jot when I move house. I'm still sheltered, I still have food on the table, I still have a place to sleep etc. It matters not which roof I'm under. What matters is I've made a conscious decision to move. It's trusting the universe to make it happen. Trusting means not thinking about the future. It's all going to be OK, but the when of it, the time (which is just a construct anyway), is irrelevant. When I'm meant to go, that's what I'm meant to go.
So no amount of worrying, fussing, hoping or even coercing the future from me. As always with mindfulness, we're tested every day to remember to arrive back at each moment, because these are the moments that are truly real and existing. These are ALL we have.
I'm meant to be where I'm meant to be, and that's OK.

Estonian DefMin: Wind farm developers must buy extra radars themselves
Estonian news - eteap April 11, 2018
Baltic News Service. 10th of April, 2018
New wind farms in areas near the Russian border that may undermine the effectiveness of airspace monitoring radars are not necessary to fulfill Estonia's renewable energy goals, and if developers of wind farms nevertheless wish to set up wind turbines there, they must pay for additional radars themselves following an agreement with the Ministry of Defense.
"First, a conclusion was reached in the course of the work of a work group for the development of wind farms taking into account the security needs of the Ministry of Defense that the renewable energy goals for 2020 set out in the National Energy Development Plan can be reached also without the implementation of national defense related compensation measures," Meelis Oidsalu, deputy secretary general of the Ministry of Defense for defense planning, told BNS on Tuesday.
"Second, it has been established through weighing various options that without acquiring additional radars and radar systems for the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Interior or some other agency it is not possible to lift security related restrictions valid for wind farms. These restrictions have been charted by now when it comes to the systems of the defense forces," Oidsalu said.
Also the potential locations of additional airspace monitoring radars have been charted with the organizations representing developers.
Oidsalu said that the life cycle costs of one airspace monitoring radar of the defense forces amount to broadly 52 million euros, which is not taken into consideration in the National Energy Development Plan or the National Defense Development Plan. No other solution aside from the acquisition of additional sensors to eliminate the negative effect from the operation of wind turbines is available on the market, the official observed.
He said that if developers are interested in the acquisition of additional sensors to compensate for the negative effect of the establishment of new wind farms, negotiations can be started among the developers, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications to conduct a cost-benefit study and find a cost-compensating scheme that will ensure certainty of financing and consistency with the Constitution for the state and equal treatment for the developers.
"The underlying assumption is that the entire additional cost to compensate for the impact of wind farms on the national monitoring system will be covered by the developers of wind farms," Oidsalu said.
The work group meanwhile will continue its work. Among other things, it is planning in collaboration with the Tallinn University of Technology to measure the impact of wind generators on radio systems starting from May.
Oidsalu added that developers see easing restrictions not related to national defense, such as environment related restrictions in county plans for South Estonia, for instance, as the most sensible option with a view to establishing new wind farms in the future.
"This requires that the representatives of developers negotiate with the municipalities and the Ministry of Finance," he said.
On March 15, Oidsalu presented the actions of the work group for the development of wind farms taking into account the needs of national security to the government. The work group brings together, in addition to officials from several ministries, representatives of the organizations of wind farm developers.
The government tasked the work group with informing the wind farm developrs about the national security related restrictions, which was done at the Ministry of Defense on Tuesday.
Representatives of the work group and developers have taken part in a conference of the European Wind Energy Association to obtain information about the state of play in other countries. In addition, the Ministry of Defense has invited people from the defense forces of Finland to Estonia to speak about the relevant practices of Finland. From these contacts it has appeared that national security related restrictions on wind farms are used widely, whereas their application differs somewhat depending on the country's geopolitical location.

So often giving money to a charity is abstract. You donate to an organization, that organization works on research or advocacy or "awareness" or sometimes even concrete projects. Still, it's rare to fully get your head wrapped around exactly what your dollars and cents are doing. And of course everyone has their own pet projects, so it seems for every contribution you make, 3 more organizations or friends promoting organizations come up who need help as well. I, again, find myself joining this chorus. But this time the need is immediate and the results tangible.
I love supporting Haitian Families First because this is a bare-bones organization and you really SEE how your contribution is making a difference. There are some necessary administrative costs (as there are with every organization, but HFF does a good job of keeping these down), but other than that, the money goes directly to the mission itself: Helping Haitian families. And most importantly, helping Haitian families help themselves. HFF focuses on projects that enable families to become self-sufficient. Amazing things all around.
But in an organization like this, there is no margin for error. You depend on everything going right, because it has to go right, because there's no room to catch up if it doesn't. And recently, HFF hit an unexpected roadblock and needs some help. The latest shipment of milk and formula was contaminated. Here in the US, we could just take it back to the store and demand a replacement. Things aren't that easy in Haiti, especially when you have a whole lot of people to feed. They need to ship in replacement milk and they need to pay for medical services for the kids who got sick. No money means no milk. And no money means no medicine.
HFF is running a campaign through CrowdTilt for the money they need to get the extra milk (and get it fast). The full campaign isn't looking for that much and every little donation will help. Think about how much you pay for a gallon of milk at the store… $5? $6? Maybe you'll kick that cash towards these kids who definitely need it. I contributed today. I hope you will too.

How Did a Turtle and a Bunny Change My Life? (and help HUNDREDS of other animals?)
Ever since I was a little girl, I have had so much love and compassion for animals.
When I was little my mom worked as a veterinary assistant, so I would often get to go with her to spend time with the sick animals at the pet hospital. I would pet them and talk to them and generally just try to make them "feel better" (I guess I've always been a healer at heart too!). These are my first memories of showing real compassion for animals.
I live a ways outside of the city in the rural countryside and would literally drive past horses, cows, and even llamas on my commute to work. I love how peaceful it is. There's TONS of wildlife around my home – toads, turkeys, woodchucks, a myriad of small birds, ground squirrels, rabbits, hawks, owls, and a rainbow of insects and butterflies. I adore it.
Every summer, as soon as it begins to get hot and dry, there's a stretch of road near my home that becomes a makeshift turtle crossing.
The turtles walk from the farm fields to a large pond on the other side of the road. The problem is, they are trying to get nearer to the water, but they often become hot and tired on their journey and stop in the road. I honestly can't count the number of times I've pulled my car off to the side of the road to stop and collect the turtles and escort them safely to the other side.
Once, a grizzled, old farmer pulled over his rusty pick-up truck and rolled down the window – I was certain her was going to scold me for holding up traffic…but instead, he offered his help making sure the turtles were safe. He mentioned that he often stopped to scoop up the turtles and carry them to safety.
Of all the times I've helped the turtles, I've never seen one that had been injured.
A few weeks ago, I was on my way to my new age store in Madison, WI and stopped to help yet another turtle that was crossing the big stretch of highway. I gently picked him up, carried him over to the tall grass near the pond, and set him down. Only…he didn't crawl away. All of the other turtles had always scurried away (they're much faster than you'd expect them to be). He just stayed put in the grass. When I leaned in close to look at him I realized that his shell was cracked near his tail, he was bleeding, and he didn't seem to be able to move his back legs.
I was shocked and scared. I knew I needed to help.
So I raced to my car and grabbed a plastic bag (the only thing I had in there at the time), picked him up, and set him on top of the plastic. I handed him to my brother, who was sitting in the passenger seat of my car. Then I sped off to the nearest vet and asked them for help. They told me that they could only be sure the turtle was stable enough to transport and that I would have to take him to an emergency vet clinic about 15 minutes away. They cleaned up the blood from the turtle's legs and wrapped him in a towel. I rushed off to the next vet. It turns out that vet clinic works closely with a local Wildlife Rehabilitation Center called Four Lakes. Four Lakes specializes in turtle rehab, among other things.
I told the woman at the counter that I'd be happy to pay for any medical care the turtle needed, I felt so connected with it. I knew this turtle was a fighter… She explained that Four Lakes is a non-for-profit organization and relies heavily on private donations to keep its doors open. She assured me they'd get the turtle to Four Lakes where it could get the best possible care.
Four Lakes called me two days later to give me an update about the turtle. It wasn't good news. Unfortunately the turtle had extensive damage to its pelvis and had to be euthanized.
I was crushed. My heart was broken.
I have to admit, I felt a bit silly sobbing over a turtle that wasn't a pet…a turtle that I only spent a short hour or two with. Yet…I knew how deeply I felt my emotions.
I had connected with this tiny shelled being, TRULY connected. My heart went out to the turtle the day I found it. I tried sending it healing energy while waiting at the vet clinic. I tried affirmations, and I tried prayer.
Even though it didn't work out in the end, I knew in my heart that I did everything in my power to save this turtle that someone had carelessly injured with their vehicle.
I cried every day for two weeks about that turtle. It was the carelessness and disregard for life that hurt my heart the most.
Just about two weeks to the day of when I had found the turtle, I was in my shop downtown Madison. I had been working with a customer and commented on her cute "Dog Mom" t-shirt. We bonded over our love of animals…it was a lovely chat.
Not ten minutes after the woman left, she returned to the store with a concerned look on her face. She said she was walking up the street, through a residential area, back to where she had parked her car. She saw a woman standing on the sidewalk staring at the ground. Out of curiosity, she stopped to see what the other woman was staring at. It happened to be a bunny. Not quite fully grown yet, it was just sitting in the grass…not hopping away even though it was a beautiful day and tons of people were walking around outside. She knelt down and leaned in toward the bunny, but it still didn't budge. She got concerned that it might be injured and came into the store to see if we could call someone to help.
I was just a few minutes from leaving to go home when she came in. I was pretty concerned that the bunny was acting so odd. So, I put on some rubber gloves, grabbed a small towel and a cardboard box and walked with the woman to where the bunny was sitting in the grass. I reached out gently with one hand and the bunny turned its head in a strange way (almost upside down and backwards, kind of like an owl), but it didn't try to run away.
It was almost as if the bunny thought it was running or moving away, but it was sitting still.
I covered it with the towel, scooped it up, and placed it gently in the safety of the dark cardboard box. I took it back to my shop while I got my car from the parking garage. One of my psychic readers sent Reiki to the bunny while waiting for me to return with my vehicle. This time, I knew exactly what to do. I hopped in my car and drove immediately to Four Lakes Wildlife Center. I gave them the bunny, explained the circumstances, made a donation to cover the rabbit's care, and went home.
This time, I told myself I wouldn't get so attached to the bunny…which was SO difficult. He was such a sweet little thing. Two days later, I received another sad call. The woman explained that the bunny had severe neurological damage, possibly from ingesting poison or pesticide, and that he could not be saved because the damage was so severe. Although I was sad, it was not quite as devastating as it had been with the turtle. But, it still hurt. This time, I decided to meditate and ask why these animals were coming to me during their last hours.
The answer was loud and clear. The animals need our help.
Although Four Lakes was unable to help the turtle and the bunny that I brought in, this amazing organization does help hundreds of animals each year with their work.
So, I decided to create a very special offer to help raise support for the staff and volunteers of Four Lakes Wildlife Center here in Wisconsin.
Four Lakes Wildlife Center runs a local program dedicated to providing responsible care for the ill, injured and orphaned wildlife of south central Wisconsin. As a charitable organization, they are committed to promoting education and awareness of the crucial role of wildlife in our communities, and have helped over 3,000 animals in need during the 13 years that the program has been running.

I had a baby bird in the grass with bugs starting to crawl on it, soaking cold wet from sprinklers, I washed it, and wrapped it in warm towels and just held it tight and rubbed it for hours in to the late night. Put a foot warmer under a towel in a box and got 3 hours of sleep before work. Next morning he was looking around and I thought he'd be ok. Well he wasn't,.. and no-one would return my calls. Your stories brought tears to my eyes. I cried for days over that little guy!! I think the word is empath, and good for you! I'm glad I came across your site!
Peace love respect :0)

Earlier, we saw one during the first stages of opening.
Apricot Parrot Tulip
Earlier, we saw one during the first stages of opening.
8:48 p.m. A summer-like, Gulf Islands sky, in May. Mountain layers at no charge.
OK, here's a Salt Spring Island home and a half. We stopped by for a few evening/night photographs and I've got to say that this is one of the most interesting homes on the Island.It could be because we were there on a gorgeous clear warm evening and just kept shooting and shooting — until well after dark (I've now delivered a total of 44 images of this home to Sotheby's). Standing on the tile over concrete deck, we could feel the day's warmth radiating from below and from the rock wall of the house itself. The whole front of the home opens up to a panoramic ocean view.
The sky colours are more intense during civil twilight* than they are after sunrise, as shown in the above photo taken from Fernwood Pier.
There's a beam of light in the sky and reflected in the water; apparently this is called a sun pillar. And to the right, an aging condensation trail from a high flying jet.
* definitions about the three twilights at Wikipedia
The above is, of course, complete fiction. I did notice this scene (but not at my place) while photographing a new home for local builder Wilco Construction. Ummm…kind of nice if you like that kind of thing. And I do.
Photographs of Salt Spring Island and areas reachable by ferry and road (and sometimes off-road).

Most people are familiar with the saying, "Only two things in life are certain, death and taxes." However, the thought of navigating the tax process when purchasing property need not strike fear into you. Whether you are looking at buying your first home, an investment property or business premises we demystify the tax types and their implications.
Mike Greeff, CEO of Greeff Christie's International Real Estate offers some advice on the subject, "Buying property is a life altering decision for anyone and any legislative oversights could prove very costly. Always enlist a reputable real estate partner to assist with the process. A reliable, experienced agent will be able to guide you through the process and will be familiar with the documentation that is required."
Transfer Duties
As a first-time buyer your biggest expense secondary to the cost of your home is the transfer duty that applies to it. A transfer duty is payable by the buyer on an immovable asset. The duty payable is proportional to the value of the asset being transferred and is implemented on a sliding scale. As per the 2017 budget, individuals buying property that costs less than R900 000 are exempt from paying a transfer duty. Properties ranging between R900 001 and R1.25 million attract a 3% duty on the value above R900 001 while properties priced between R1 250 001 and R1 750 000 will cost R10 500 plus 6% of the value exceeding R1.25 million. Properties priced from R1 750 001 to R2 250 000 will cost R40 500 plus 8% of the value exceeding R1 750 000.
Homes priced R2 250 001 to R10 million will pay R80 500 plus 11% of the value above R2 250 000, while homes priced from R10 000 001 and above will pay R933 000, as well as 13% of the value exceeding R10 million. If your intended property is valued at R2.65 million it falls into the R80 500 plus 11% category.
This means that you will pay R80 500 plus 11% of the value over R2.25 million (which in this instance means 11% of R400 000.) The total transfer duty therefore payable on your future home is R80 500 + R 44 000 = R 124 500. Companies that purchase immovable property will have to pay transfer duty at the same rate as individuals.
The good news is that no transfer duty is payable by the seller if they are registered for VAT and the property being transferred forms part of the business operations for which the seller is registered.
Capital Gains Tax
Buyers are not the only one's subject to taxes during the property transfer process, sellers are sometimes liable for a Capital Gains Tax to the South African Revenue Service. Capital Gains Tax is in essence a tax placed on the profits gained from the resale of assets.
There is an exemption allowed to sellers if the property being sold is being used as their primary residence. (Not a holiday home, rental or investment property.)
The government considers the first R2 million profit gained on the sale of a primary home as CGT exempt. Capital gains tax is based on the income (from all sources) that individuals receive during the financial year. In addition to the once off primary residence exclusion of R2 million, individuals also benefit from an annual R40 000 capital gains tax exclusion.
Sellers who use their home for business purposes will pay capital gains tax proportionate to the percent of the property being used for business purposes. The property must, by law, be used for more than 50% domestic use, failing which, the exclusion will fall away completely, and the sale will be taxed according to the business scale.
A sound understanding of transfer duties as well as capital gains tax laws could result in significant savings during the sales process. Always seek professional assistance when buying or selling property as their experience and knowledge could save you money.

No one looks back on that state of affairs today and thinks it was anything but an abomination.Donald Trump has categorized all Mexican immigrants as "rapists," and on Twitter he's said "the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and Hispanics...," as if ethnicity and race were determinants of an individual's criminal tendencies.
Trump has also proposed banning anyone who adheres to Islam from entering the U.S., and creating a national database with information on all Muslims residing in the U.S., the better for government to track their movements, our sacred Constitution be damned.Then there are Trump's attitudes toward women; he's long been a raging embarrassment on that score. In an interview with Esquire magazine in 1991, he said, "You know, it doesn't really matter what (the media) write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."
In "Trump: The Art of the Comeback," published in 1997, Trump said, "Women have one of the great acts of all time. The smart ones act very feminine and needy, but inside they are real killers. The person who came up with the expression 'the weaker sex' was either very naïve or had to be kidding. I have seen women manipulate men with just a twitch of their eye – or perhaps another body part."Millions of Americans already regard those comments, proposals and attitudes as abominations. And a generation from now, most Americans will not be able to comprehend how in God's name the Republican Party nominated for president a man who thinks and speaks and feels that way.
Charlie Baker said the other day, again, that he will not vote for Trump in November.I don't know if our Republican governor was thinking in historical dimensions or concerning himself with how future generations might assess his position on Trump.
It could be that he simply believes Trump is not well qualified for the presidency. (Our governor abhors incompetence.)Either way, Charlie, you made the right move.

Based on the wording of Moroni 10:3-5, Moroni's invitation is about gaining a spiritual witness, not an intellectual one. That is an important distinction, and it is worth considering carefully.
Verse 3 focuses intensely on looking back in time and recognizing how merciful God has been to his children throughout time - then pondering that mercy. It doesn't ask the reader to ponder what the Book of Mormon has said up to that point; rather, it asks the reader to ponder God's long-suffering mercy.
Focusing on God's mercy
puts the reader's prayer directly into the realm of asking if the Book of Mormon
is "true" in a spiritual sense - more like "true north" than "factually inerrant".
Given how often the book includes comments about overlooking the
mistakes in it and the weakness of its writers, I think that's not
accidental. Thus, the prayer request becomes less, "Tell me if this book is historically accurate," and more, "Be merciful to me, as you have been to others throughout time, and answer my prayer." It's more of a connection to the divine than receipt of a factual answer - and I believe too many members and missionaries approach it as more of an intellectual question that asks if the details in the book are "accurate / right".
I think that simple difference is more than just significant.

American Kennel Club adds 4 new dog breeds
NEW YORK – A Spanish farm and fishing dog, a Sicilian rabbit-hunting breed, an Italian sheepdog with a distinctive matted coat and a rugged South African watchdog are joining the American Kennel Club pack.
The kennel club announced Wednesday that the Spanish water dog, the Cirneco dell'Etna (cheer-NAY-koh-dehl-eht-nah), the Bergamasco and the Boerboel (BUHR'-buhl) will become recognized breeds Jan. 1.
They'll be eligible to compete in many AKC-sanctioned dog shows next year, though not in the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club show until 2016.
The newcomers range from medium-sized, curly-haired Spanish water dogs to the big, mastiff-style Boerboels. The Cirneco dell'Etna is keen and sleek. The sociable Bergamasco is hard to miss with its long locks.
With them, there will be 184 AKC-recognized breeds. Criteria include having several hundred dogs of the breed nationwide.

What is Data Lineage?
This one is for all you newbies in the business intelligence industry. Or for those of you that need a quick refresher. Or for those of you that just really love infographics. Ok, so everyone is welcome, but why are we here? To explain data lineage and some of the terms that go hand-in-hand. And, considering the visual nature of data lineage, we thought there would be no better way of explaining it than through an infographic. Scroll away!
DISCLAIMER: If you want to read the Insight in its usual presentation, scroll on past the infographic to the bottom of the page.
So, what is data lineage? Data lineage refers to the origin and transformations that data goes through over time. Basically, data lineage tells the story of a specific piece of data. This allows you to understand where the data comes from as well as when and where it separates and merges with other data. Although there are several ways of representing data lineage, visual representations are most common as they allow for a simpler overview of the data solution in question.
One of the main benefits of accessing your data lineage is increased understanding of your data solution. In order for you to be able to govern and understand the data within your organization, you need to know where it comes from and how it interconnects with other pieces of data. This is why data lineage and data governance are so interconnected (a term we will define as well).
In accordance with this, data lineage also makes it simpler to identify any issues that you may be experiencing in your data solution. Further assistance comes in the form of being able to represent data lineage visually.
Types of lineage
Backward data lineage means looking at the data from its end use and back-dating it, if you will, to its source. On the other hand, forward data lineage begins at the source and follows through the end. End-to-end data lineage is the combination of the two, looking at the entire solution from the data's source to its end-use.
Data governance
Quite simply, the ability to govern your data. A little bit more specifically, it refers to the ability to create and maintain high-quality data set up in ways that you have full control of. Data governance structures vary from organization to organization but are tied together by data protection laws.
Data describing other sets of data. It's that simple.
Data Transformations
Finally, data transformations are any changes that your data go through in forms of format or structure.
Hope we have answered the question "what is data lineage?" and that you have learned a thing or two! If this hasn't quite quenched your thirst, you can read more about our data lineage tool on our Solutions page.
If you have any requests for future infographics, let us know in the comments!
If you are new to NodeGraph, first of all – welcome. We are a data quality platform for QlikView and Qlik Sense. To find out how we can help you take control of your data, get started today.

Comfort is a much better node.js commander solution for sub commands.
$ cnpm install comfort
Comfort is a much better node.js commander solution for sub commands.
If you have sub commands, such as
<my-module> <command>, comfort will be extremely helpful.
Comfort is designed to make your code better organized and of scalability, unlike commander.js.
If you want to create a complicated command tool with heavy arguments overloading,
comfort will be your very choice.
A command-line application (
cortex for example) and its sub-commands built with
comfort are structured much like git(1).
To develop a new sub-command(
'blah' for example) as a plugin(so you don't want to change the origin repository of
cortex), just create a new node.js module, add a value to
bin field of the package.json as:
"bin": {
"cortex-blah": "bin/xxxxx.js"
Comfort will look for
PATH in your env, and search for a plugin command.
To add a new built-in command(
'haha' for example), just add a file "haha.js" to the
options.command_root directory, DONE!
npm install comfort --save
If you want to figure out how comfort works, well,
Shut up, just show me the code!
and just see the annotations in the files under
root directory.
Or, you could execute
comfort init command, and see what happened to your new project.

Flaska's story
On its birth and development, about coincidences which were not, and more...
On its birth and development, about coincidences which were not, and more...
My first job was different as anyone would have expected – I was a policeman. However, after 10 years that job no longer satisfied my innovative streak and I had the desire to do more. To be different. So, in the beginning of the 1990s I devoted more and more time to working on my wife's family farm.
As I was not interested in typical agriculture, I started searching for new challenges in this field. In 1993 I started cultivating strawberries. Because I did not know the agricultural technology very well I was very open-minded towards unconventional approaches. In 2003 I learned about the process of water restructuring. I decided to conduct my own experiment, not because of huge expectations, but because as I was full of curiosity. After having introduced new technologies, the strawberries always showed me what suited them and what not. Today, thinking about how they contain up to 89% water, I came to the logical conclusion that the improvement in the water structure would lead to the improvement in the strawberries. Back then this thought had not even crossed my mind, despite intensively trying different approaches.
So I set up my experiment: I watered half of the field with restructured and the other half with normal water.
For some time there were no apparent major differences, but when the time of harvest arrived it quickly became clear that water had played an important role.
Strawberries, watered with restructured water, were noticeably firmer. The shelf life of fruits was extended and the harvest on the field part that was watered with restructured water was 18.1% more plentiful. At the end of the season the plants were more vital and less affected by disease in this part of the plantation.
In the following years I continued my experimentation with restructured water. I changed from a sceptic to an enthusiast of this technology that had been known for almost 90 years, since the discoveries of Viktor Schauberger, the pioneer in water structuring.
To the bewilderment of many, I stopped cultivating strawberries in 2009. They were of excellent quality, the sales were great and everyone was happy. But life was telling me that I needed to find new challenges.
I started by offering the water structuring technology in agriculture. Despite excellent test results (in cultivating fruit, vegetables, dairy production, poultry breeding etc.) the market had not yet been ready to accept an "invisible" technology, despite the fact that its results were very obvious.
After a difficult year and a half I got the idea of implementing the water structuring technology into a bottle for everyday use. A test series was launched in November 2009 and actual production began after a positive response.
That's how she was born – Flaska! She entered the Slovenian market on the 10th of March 2010.
Things started to move forward with lightning speed – the Flaska team grew and soon we were launching new bottle models and sizes, expanding to new worldwide markets… It seems like a fairytale, but in real life Flaska also faced hard times, especially in the years from 2012 to 2014. We overcame this period only by working together and lots of positive energy from all our employees and partners.
In the years that followed we developed more programmed products – the Vodan jug, Doggy Flaska for dogs and Sirius drinking glass.
We continue to improve the TPS water restructuring process. Today we can assure you that our products will last you a lifetime. Our philosophy of water restructuring differs from that of most others that are offering this technology.
We help water return to its spring structure. We are all vibrationally aligned with the energy of the water and place where we live – this is why water is not simply water but also a source of our health. That is why Flaska is not only a bottle but also a product that improves the quality of life.
Here at Flaska we stand by the position that all our planet inhabitants should drink water of the best possible quality. We are grateful for every Flaska user as by using it we raise the general awareness of drinking quality water together and at the same time reduce plastic waste.
Flaska stands as proof that we have the power to change the world with virtually every sip of water, drop by drop.
With love and gratitude,
Maks Vrečko, father of Flaska

Generating efficient sales is one of the fundamentals of business strategy. If you are pursuing potential clients that aren't interested in your service, then you aren't just irritating them, but you're wasting time that could be better spent getting qualified hits on your website. That doesn't equal efficient sales. The solution? List segmentation.
A business cliché is that no two customers are the same. This may be true in many ways, but that doesn't mean they don't have similarities. Customers are all looking for solutions that will assist them in a unique way. If you can identify these traits, and create a list segmentation that addresses some of the themes, correspondence with customers will become more focused and you will generate efficient sales.
If you want to optimize how you are handling customers and make more efficient sales, list segmentation can be your best friend. It's a simple idea- you take your website hits, potential leads, or database of clients and segment them. Instead of having one large group that receives the same generalized email, you can focus your outreach and appeal to each audience on a more intimate level. By making these lists target an audience more specifically, you can be sure that the recipient of these messages is obtaining information that is relevant to them. List segmentation is like revising and editing for your customer database. The idea is to make the content more relevant, and help the customer find the product or service that they need. Instead of simply throwing all of your wares and hoping they look long enough to see something they need, you can have the clients automatically assigned to segmented lists that focus their interests. This funneling process leads to more efficient sales.
It can be hard to decide on ways to segment your audience into groups. Here are a few ways to do it to refine what you're looking for in a customer base. The first thing to identify when you are looking to segment lists is identifying your target groups. Are you looking for 25-year-old professionals? Or maybe your target is companies making over $1 million a year? Maybe geographic location is your priority? Most of this information can be obtained through the tracking software provided by most website hosts. By isolating the traits you are looking for in customers, you can more adequately tailor your strategy to make efficient sales.
Effective ways to segment lists for more efficient sales:

REVELATION OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE - Chapter 17 - Verse 15
Verse 15. And he saith unto me. The angel, Re 17:7. This commences the more literal statement of what is meant by these symbols.
The waters which thou sawest. See Barnes on "Re 17:1".
Are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. For an explanation of these terms, see Barnes on "Re 7:9".
The meaning here is,
(a) that these waters represent a multitude of people. This is a common and an obvious symbol—for outspread seas or raging floods would naturally represent such a multitude. See Isa 8:7-8; 17:12-13; Jer 47:2.
Compare Iliad, v. 394. The sense here is, that vast numbers of people would be subject to the power here represented by the woman.
(b) They would be composed of different nations, and would be of different languages. It is unnecessary to show that this, in both respects, is applicable to the Papacy. Nations have been, and are, subject to its control, and nations speaking a large part of the languages of the world. Perhaps under no one government-not even the Babylonian, the Macedonian, or the ancient Roman—was there so great a diversity of people, speaking so many different languages, and having so different an origin.
