On 13 October 2017, the 2017 international scientific and practical conference on trade and economic cooperation in the SCO Region titled "The SCO — Promising Platform for Broad Mutually Beneficial Cooperation and Integration in Eurasia" was held in Moscow.
Representatives of the economic and scientific expert community and businesses from the SCO member countries, observer states and dialogue partners, as well as diplomats accredited in Moscow and members of the media took part in the conference. The delegation of the SCO Secretariat was chaired by Deputy Secretary-General Aziz Nosirov.
Russian Deputy Minister of Economic Development Alexei Gruzdev delivered an address at the opening ceremony in which he stressed the importance of developing trade and economic cooperation in the SCO in the new G8 format. He spoke highly of its potential, noting the key role of the SCO in uniting national strategies and integration initiatives adopted by its member states. He outlined several promising areas of cooperation, such as electronic trade, information and communication technologies, innovations, digital technologies, and research and development.
In his welcoming remarks sent to the participants of the conference, SCO Secretary-General Rashid Alimov noted that "the Astana Declaration of the SCO Heads of State emphasises the importance of establishing an open global economy and consolidating the multilateral trade system. It also emphasises the need to build a system of regional trade and economic cooperation to facilitate the development of trade and investment activities, upgrade infrastructure and improve living standards. In this context, creative proposals and initiatives aimed at creating favourable conditions for regional economic cooperation and helping to search for new models of international cooperation are especially important."
The conference hosted discussions at various sessions, such as "Development Prospects of the SCO in the Modern Global and Regional Context" and "Strategic Vision of the SCO's Development and Participants' Proposals on the Prospective Agenda on Cooperation in the Trade, Economic, Investment, Infrastructure, Technological, Innovative, Regulatory, Political and Humanitarian Sectors."
The international scientific and practical conference on trade and economic cooperation in the SCO Region was organised by the Russian Foreign Trade Academy at the Ministry of Economic Development. The All-Union Foreign Trade Academy was founded in 1931 and is now one of the leading education institutions in Russia, training specialists in International Economic Relations and Finance, Foreign Trade Management and International Law.
On 20 October 2016, Beijing hosted the first conference on trade and economic cooperation in the SCO Region organised by the SCO Secretariat and the Chinese International Trade and Economic Cooperation Academy.

County of Placer Child Support Services – 1000 Sunset Blvd, Rocklin CA 95765
The building it self is beautiful. Well kept, clean, great play room for kids. Almost everyone within this department has been friendly and shown great customer service whether it's been over the phone or in the office. The only down side I see is how very often they change your case manager. Mine has changed countless times. I've had great case managers. Jessica Miranda was wonderful and stands out in my mind. Very friendly. I felt like she would go above and beyond to stay in touch with me about my case. Inform me on any new information. The fastest ways to contact her, etc. Prior to her. I've felt others have been similar. Personable. Get to know you, your case, your situation, what's going on and knows the other party. Then after talking with these workers for so long.. you finally start feeling comfortable with these people. Then out of nowhere it switched again. This time I was left feeling like I started all over with someone new who knows nothing about me, the situation, my case or even cares. Mine recently switched to Rochelle Miller. I'm sure she has great qualities but she just wasn't keeping me informed throughout situations going on like I felt case managers have done prior. I have never spoken to her on the phone, received a call or updates with my case once she was put in charge of it. Up until I recently reached out to her. And even then it just wasn't the same customer service as usual from this department that I've been used to. I've never even met her. It felt like she had just gotten to my file in her stack and wanted to move on to the next. The customer service that had always been outstanding wasn't there this time. So my one suggestion if my suggestion were to be considered. Please stop switching our case managers so carelessly and frequently if possible. (Except one more time maybe.. Jessica Miranda would be great to have back)
I have been dealing with this jurisdiction for many years now. Them like all of the other counties are encouraged by the state to aggressively collect a guideline amount of child support in effort to get dollars matched from the federal gov't. Sadly, the guideline calculator DOES NOT accurately reflect the true financial standing of all parties involved, moreover, the difficulty of supporting multiple households financially as ONE PERSON. Nonetheless, I have been very unfortunate to have fornicated with two unpleasant, controlling, and greedy women who combined are having $1860 garnished every month from my 70k/year income. But wait! That's not enough! This agency wants another $750/month on top of the $1860. Making my total monthly payment $2610! Did the mother file? No! This is all them THEY AND THEIR DESIRE FOR TITLE IV-D funding is why this was filed.
Visitation? Co-parenting? No, the mother lied to police in 2011 to have me put in jail before the child was born (3 week dating stint. Was lonely and desperate. I'll admit that) So that's that, I never want anything to do with that person ever again. So no time share to drive support down. And the other mother moved 500 miles away so I could not get visitation.
You are unconstitutional, unethical and just plain bad for America.
I hope I live to see the day your organization is ordered to cease and desist.
My ex receives SSDI which is considered income for child support calculations. For some reason, Placer Country is refusing to do this. Now I have to spend thousands for an attorney to do what this agency is paid to do. Anyone else have this problem? My kids are being cheated by the agency ( my tax dollars support) that is there to watch out for their interest. Where is Norma Rae? ????

Spain -Occupational accidents on the rise -November 16, 2015
Trade union CCOO reports that workplace accidents have been on the rise since the beginning of the crisis. Minor, major and fatal accidents took place more often in 2015 than 2014. Especially minor accidents, of which 218,019 took place in the first six months of 2015 and the 239 fatal accidents constituted an increase of 13,577 and 16 cases respectively. Workers and trade unionists report the hike in accidents is due to a combination of higher work stress and pressure, as well as a weaker negotiation position of workers and their representatives. Accidents often took place at the end of long shifts, when regular safety checks of equipment had not been carried out and because workers carried out unsafe tasks.

Can Section 149 IPC be charged without invoking Section 141 IPC?
The Supreme Court answers this question in an appeal raised to it from the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The bench of the Supreme Court for this case comprised of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and KM Joseph.
The appellants of the case were charged under Sections 148, 302, 307, 325 read with Section 149 of the IPC and Section 449 of the IPC. The question in the particular case was that if someone is charged under Section 149 of Indian Penal Code, 1860, is it necessary to invoke him under Section 141 of IPC also?
The Court while answering to the above-mentioned question said that if the necessary ingredients of an unlawful assembly are proved, there is no specific invocation required to prove Section 141.
The argument contested by the Counsel of the appellant said that the non-inclusion of Section 141 of the IPC would be destructive to the conviction of the appellants under Section 149 of the Act. The Court looked at the precedents related to the concept of unlawful assembly under Section 149 have two elements:
- Assembly should contain at least five people
- There should be a common object to commit an offence.
Therefore, the Court observed that the non-inclusion of Section 141 would not be fatal to the prosecution's case.
If we at a look at the facts of the particular case, the Court noted that on the night of the incident, seven persons arrived at the site of the crime. All of them inflicted blows on the deceased causing twenty-four injuries to him eventually resulting in his death. In this regard and in the context of common object, the Court said,
"This is not a case where the common assembly proceeded to the site and subsequently decided to inflict the blows. It is not as if anyone incidentally joined the group, but all of them came together with a clear intent and acted upon that intent. It was not as if any of the accused ran away from the site, or ceased to have the intent to inflict blows, which resulted in the death of the deceased."
The Court thus found no merit in the case presented and dismissed the appeals preferred by the appellants.

Flood watch issued here as violent weather arrives
By RALPH ANSAMI
Ironwood — The Gogebic Range went from high fire danger to flash flood warnings in less than 24 hours.
The National Weather Service warned thunderstorms could cause flooding conditions through Thursday morning. Flood watch warnings were issued for Gogebic and Ontonagon counties.
Several periods of showers and thunderstorms, some producing heavy rain, were expected. The heaviest rainfall was expected to occur late this afternoon and tonight, with up to 3 inches possible.
Law enforcement officials were again advising motorists not to drive through flooded areas, the cause of three deaths last summer during northern Wisconsin floods. They also advised people to stay away from downed power lines.
There was already flooding in Glidden, Wis., on Tuesday, where repaired roadways from the 2016 floods were again washing out.
Tornado strikes
The Barron County, Wis., Sheriff's Department said Tuesday night one person was killed and at 25 people were injured when a mobile home park in the Chetek area was hit by an apparent a tornado. There may have been at least one fatality, the sheriff said.
KARE-TV and KSTP-TV in the Twin Cities reported the tornado hit the Prairie Lakes Estates trailer park. The park had around 50 homes.
A tornado was confirmed at 6 p.m. Tuesday near Bruce, Wis., about 10 miles west of Ladysmith, in Rusk County, moving east at 30 miles per hour.
Several turkey barns in the area were hit hard.
The weather service advised everyone in the tornado's path to take cover immediately in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and avoid windows.
Heavy hail also fell in parts of northern Wisconsin.
Fire danger gone
The half inch of rain that soaked the Gogebic Range Monday went a long way toward alleviating fire danger, which had risen to a high level.
Workers at the Gogebic-Iron Wastewater Treatment Plant off Cloverland Drive recorded .48 inch of rain for the 24-hour period to 7 a.m. Tuesday.
That brought the May rainfall total to 2.3 inches, above the long-term average for Ironwood of 1.57 inches on May 16. There's also been an inch of snow this month.
Following a drab Monday that produced black clouds and considerable lightning, the sun came out Tuesday morning in downtown Ironwood, but more rain arrived around noon.
The east branch of the Montreal River was running at spring snow melt levels.
In the central part of the Upper Peninsula, Marquette received only .01 inch of rain on Monday, bringing the May total to just .46 inch.
A weekend wildfire in the U.P.'s Ely Township burned 23 acres of private land, with the Department of Natural Resources responding with 15 people, three tractor plows and four engines.
Just last Friday, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker had declared a state of emergency because of dry conditions. The executive order Walker issued calls elements of the Wisconsin National Guard to active duty to assist Emergency Management and the DNR in providing wildfire suppression support.

Portfolio Reflection
The assignments, classes, and papers of this course have helped me develop as
increased confidence. One major reason for this increased confidence is a betterunderstudying of the writing process. Each essay over the course of the semester requireda writing process. Despite being delivered via audio the Audio essay had several distinctpieces in its process. I began by following along with Dr. Es free writing assignments inclass to try and choose a topic. From there I outlined the topic and eventually turned intointo first draft. Afterwards I met with Dr. E and added her suggestions to the audionarrative. Finally I sat down to record paragraph by paragraph. Once the assignment wassubmitted and I received further advice from Dr. E. Taking her advice I re-recorded myessay with more clarity and slowed down the speed of my voice. The rhetorical analysispaper began with watching the movie and filling out a work sheet that helped me gain
Calvo 2
perspective on the movie. Again I outlined my paper and went on to write my first draft. Ithen ooh my first draft to the writing center. The writing center recommended that Iestablish more of a central claim and reinforce it throughout my paper. I followed theiradvice and submitted. After submitting and hearing Dr. E/s thoughts on the paper Idecided to do a major revision on it. As advised I changed several incoherent sentencesand gave my paper a more central thesis. In addition I integrated quotes more seamlesslythroughout out the paper. The Research paper probably took the most preparation. Itbegan with class periods of choosing a topic and then submitting a proposal. Once theproposal was approved I moved onto researching and submitting my annotatedbibliography. Finally I outlined the paper and wrote several drafts before finallysubmitting. I then used my research topic in my ted talk. I began by cutting out piecesthat are not essential to the talk. Then I outlined my talk and made a power poutpresentation. Finally after a lot of practice my presentation was going about 9 and a halfminutes, but when I presented in class it went about 2 minutes shorter. Finally I reflectednot the talk after re-watching it and wrote a small reflection on it.
I used rhetorical almost constantly though out this course. On each essay

writing, rhetoric, and research skills this semester. This is shown in my portfoliothroughout the various assignments and papers over the semester. Composing things likethe info graphic and Ted talk taught me that rhetoric, writing, and reading can all beachieved in a nontraditional way. Also that this non traditional way can have severalbenefits in comparison to older ways as they often provide a more holistic explanation ofthe text. In begin allowed to manipulate text and move it freely across the page while alsoincluding images and sometimes videos or audio the writer expresses ideas more clearlyto the reader.
Calvo 4
"""After reading several great pieces about writing and rhetoric I feel that my arguments arebetter structured and more persuasive. The portfolio shows understanding of argumentand rhetoric through its usage of advice from reading and Dr. E. In the Audio Essayinitially I simply wrote out my story and then went refining it. Finally I recorded it andsubmitted it. After having been submitted I took Dr. Es comments and fixed certainissues like the speed of my voice and the clarity of my story. In the rhetorical researchpaper I had to first watch the movie several times before being able to come up with acohesive rhetorical argument. I finally decided to examine how Marks development isshown through acting, sounds, and referencing.
The purpose of the audio essays as to expose us to narrative writing and multiple
mediums. Using audio allowed for development of not only writing and story tellingskills, but also development in oral communication. My writing reflects on usingmediums other than written word and also attempts to show through a story rather thansimply stating it. The rhetorical analysis essay on the Social Network had multiplepurposes. The essay required critical thinking and the application things previouslylearned in class. The purpose of writing the essays as to be able to clearly and reasonablyarticulate findings from the analysis of the movie. The research paper was probably the
Calvo 5
paper I am the most proud. I think the reason behind this has to do with the core purposeof the paper. The paper focused on being able to take large amounts of unrelated data andsomehow relate them to one another to support a claim. This required a lot of synthesis asdifferent texts that had completely different purposes could be used in conjunction tomake a strong argument. The reason I liked this paper so much was because it was on atopic I particular enjoy. I am most proud of it because sit was also the most dauntingassignment in that it was the longest and most work intensive. The paper highlights mystrength of being able to learn information quickly and synthesize it in a manner thatmakes sense to the everyday person. I also an engineer and potential entrepreneur I wouldneed to be able to convince people of my finding s in a progressional manner. Althoughhe Ted talk was incredibly stressful ultimately I think it was necessary. Again as anengineer I will be required to present my findings numerous times and the skill isincredibly important. The purpose of doing the talk was to introduce another method ofliteracy, presentations. Presentations require more than just the written word and morethan just the spoken word, but a combination for the two and images, videos and bodylanguage.
The skills used show exactly how the assignments built upon each other. The firs
audio narrative required for the use of audio in order to present a case, while eventuallythe Ted talk required audio form the audio narrative, written word from the essays, bodylanguage, and courage. The narrative essay was meant to have claims shown rather than
Calvo 6
supported. This idea continues onto the rhetorical analysis as quoted are to be shown andthen discussed thoroughly rather than simply stated. The research paper goes even furtherin requiring in detail research from multiple locations that needs to be shown andexplained in order to establish credibility. Finally the ted talk needed to provide many ofthese same research claims in order to establish credibility and confidence as a presenter.
I have definitely learned a lot in this course. I have learned to write a wide
assortment of essays of different styles and lengths. Also I have learned to communicatemore effectively through multiple mediums. Multimedia literacy is ever growing and it isconstantly begin updated along with technology and culture. This class has helped mebecome literate over multiple medias which I think will be a valuable skill in the future.

Maharashtra to form committee to study impact of GST on industries
08:27 am
Maharashtra Industries department has decided to form a committee to study the impact of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on industries in the state.
GST was rolled out across the country from July 1.
Maharashtra Industries minister Subhash Desai said the department has decided to form a committee under the Industries secretary to study the GST impact on industries.
"When the value added tax (VAT) was in place, we used to give incentives to industries in the form of refunds. However, GST has changed the scenario. We have no clue about its impact. So the department secretary will study the entire issue and submit report over the changes that should be made to make investments in the state easy," said Desai, who is from the Shiv Sena.
Meanwhile, an official from the Industries department said, the present industrial policy was aimed at generating more revenue through various taxes in place.
"However as far as GST is concerned, the tax slabs are same across the country which may not benefit a particular state to gain tax benefits from manufacturing," he said.
"Now it is time that we make necessary changes in the policy as we need industries, which are consumer products based," he added.

text: Hungry Humans Are Eating Wild Mammals Into Extinction Study finds 285 species are close to gone because they're hunted for food By Michael Harthorne, Newser Staff Posted Oct 22, 2016 3:49 PM CDT 110 comments An Mbuti girl excitedly holds up a forest antelope caught by a male relative in Congo. A new study says nearly a quarter of all endangered land mammals are close to extinction because humans are hunting... (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell) (Newser) – Hungry humans are in danger of eating nearly a quarter of all endangered land mammals into extinction, according to a study published this week in Royal Society Open Science. Quartz reports that 301 species of land mammals—from bats and primates to rodents and big cats—are being hunted into extinction. And for the vast majority—285 species—the reason is food, not poaching or sport hunting. Some estimates claims more than a million metric tons of wild animal meat is collected in Africa every year. And approximately $200 million worth of wild animal meat is harvested yearly in the Brazilian Amazon, according to the Telegraph. "These species will continue to decline unless there is major global action to save them," the study's lead author, Bill Ripple, says. The 285 species are found in poorer countries where protein is hard to find, with the most living in Madagascar, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Brazil. Researchers say tens of millions of people around the world rely on wild animals for meat. They lay out a series of solutions for what they call a "global crisis," Phys.org reports. Those include creating more protected land for wild animals, providing legal rights for sustainable hunting, swapping high-protein plants like soy and tubers for wild animal meat, and increasing access to education and family planning. Fifteen leading conservation scientists have signed on to the study. (Something is killing the scrotum frogs of Lake Titicaca.)

For those people who wear glasses, gone are the days of settling for large, uncomfortable frames. These days, eyeglasses are supposed to complement your personality without sacrificing their functionality or taking away your pizzazz. When browsing through Warby Parker's gallery, it's crystal clear that Warby Parker knows that 1 frame does not in fact fit all. Warby Parker is an internet and brick-and-mortar retail supplier of economically priced prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and eyeglass accessories. They have something for everyone, for every look. Whether you're looking to change your style, pick up a pair for a special occasion, or just to find a new tried-and-true standby, Warby Parker has got you covered. Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
Warby Parker transformed the prescription eyewear industry by being the first organization to sell prescription glasses on the internet and send them directly to your home. While a lot considered that a massive gamble, it was worth it. The company sold around 20,000 pairs of glasses on the internet during its 1st year of operations.
When it later rolled out retail stores, Warby Parker also transformed the images of shopping for and wearing. Its stores are not dull and clinical. They're sleek, stylish, tastefully decorated, and fabulous. They're also filled with fashion-forward hipsters, who appear to be its most devoted purchasers. Warby Parker can make you forget that there once was a span of time when people viewed glasses as "nerdy".
Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
Have a Look at Warby Parker's Top Ten Eyeglasses Available: Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
These retro-inspired cat-eye eyeglasses may remind you of your old Aunt Kathy – the one who sported the exact white cat-eyed glasses with polka-dotted shift dresses during the early '70s till she turned 90 – but in the best, most fashionable way conceivable. If you enjoy a refined look, this shape is a great option. Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
Clear eyeglasses have been around quite a long time. People want them because they give the impression of being just about invisible from afar and complement a nice, minimalist style. The Eugene Narrow glasses are round and perfectly proportioned for smaller faces – if you do not prefer your frames covering your face, this may be an excellent fit. The subtle rosey tint offers them a little something extra.
The Baker eyeglasses have a classic keyhole bridge with round lenses, and the Striped Sassafras colour is a subtle way to freshen things up – perfect for completing a more put-together appearance.
The Percey may seem a lot like the Baker at first glance. They're both round, medium-width glasses with keyhole bridges, and they both even come in Striped Sassafras – but it's the small elements that make all the distinctions: The Percey's lenses are more circular and its end bits aren't quite as pointy. These distinctions make the Percey a somewhat more easygoing option. Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
Known for flattering nearly any face, the Wilkie is a excellent alternative for the everyday guy or girl who doesn't like to worry too much about style. The Black Matte Eclipse design of the glasses have a thin white border wrapped around the front. Nothing too loud – just a few extra fashion points.
The Welty is a current variation on a classic shape. Made from premium cellulose acetate (such as all of Warby Parker's non-metal frames, the eyeglasses have a curved browline and an eye-catching keyhole bridge. Visualise Nancy Drew: the youth idol who made it cool to be a nerd. These eyeglasses are much bigger than others, but not so large that they cover your face.
The Watts looks and feels effortless. Accessories have the capacity to make or break an entire look: When it comes to our eyewear, we prefer to supplement outfits, not distract or detract from them. These polished glasses do exactly that.
This pair's style is classic. The Daisy is an clever spin on the quintessential cat-eye with sloping browline and thin eyewires. Sport them with a tiny black dress or pair them with a clean-cut business suit. These classic glasses will only add to your sophisticated and contemporary style.
Blue is not a color you find all that often in glasses, but looking at the Hardy in Striped Pacific, you need to wonder why. It's a simple, rectangular frame, but this oceanic colour makes it pretty striking.
Yes, we're repeating the Wilkie! We just like it that much. The Eastern Bluebird Fade hue makes use of tortoise on top with a trendy, translucent blue on the bottom. The contrast makes them feel contemporary, but the neutral shades keep the glasses compatible with more or less any ensemble. Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
The frames on Warby Parker glasses are created with cellulose acetate, bought from a family-owned Italian company. Its eyeglasses are made in China and crafted on the exact same production lines as most of its rivals, but because the company eliminates the middlemen, the costs are much lower. After the raw materials are cut into face fronts using a high-tech CNC machine, it is rolled with wood chips and hand-polished with a German wax compound. The eyeglasses are then gently assembled and dispatched through a sequence of quality checks. When you order, a new pair is built just for you. Warby Parker custom-cuts and polishes the edges of the lenses, which have been treated with scratch-resistant and anti-reflective material. The eyeglasses come standard with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses which block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. After the eyeglasses are individually inspected and aligned, they're wrapped up and ready for delivery right to your front door.
Lens Options
As well as selling the typical single-vision lenses, progressive lenses, non-prescription eyeglasses and readers, Warby Parker has two lens design options. They are:
Clear – Well, not just clear – crystal clear. These normal lenses are for people that want completely uncolored vision indoors and out.
Light-responsive – These lenses intelligently react to UV rays. They shift from completely clear inside to dark grey outdoors, even on gloomy days.
Warby Parker gives polycarbonate lenses along with any optical order. They are some of the most lightweight and impact-resistant lenses; and they come with the purchase price of the frames!
However, if you desire a higher quality lens, you could opt from the following:
1.67 high-index lenses – These are perfect for those that have a strong prescription as they are up to 20% slimmer than polycarbonate lenses, however, they cost an additional $30.
1.74 high-index lenses – Being up to 10% thinner than 1.67 high-index lenses, these lenses are suggested for all those with an extremely strong prescription. They are priced at an extra $130.
Want a special coating on your lenses? Not a problem.
Warby Parker offers these coatings with all lenses at zero extra payment:
Scratch resistance – This guards your lenses from everyday wear and tear.
Anti-reflective – This coating eases eye tension from reflections and minimizes glare.
Superhydrophobic – These lenses fights off moisture to prevent smudging.
Concerning prescription sunglasses, Warby Parker provides all of the above and more! Along with scratch resistance, they offer UV-protective lenses and polarization, which reduces glare from light beam reflection.
They also offer different lens design alternatives, from solid to flash mirrored to gradient transitions.
Warby Parker sells eyeglasses, sunglasses, and accessories online and in retail stores – at relatively low price points. Because the organization designs its eyeglasses in-house, it's equipped to sell you all glasses "Starting at $95, with prescription lenses." Additionally, it is awesome that different lens coatings are included in the purchase price of every pair of glasses. Some lenses, like slimmer lenses for very strong prescriptions, cost more.
The Maker Edition is presently the most expensive design series on the site starting at $195. The most inexpensive series is Spring 2018, which begins at $95. This means that the standard pair of frames is $145, which is considered as mid-range in the market. Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
When it comes to sunglasses, the priciest design series are the Resort and Epigraph starting at $145. The most inexpensive series is Quintessentials at $95, which makes the average price about $120. Again, this is considered middle range and ideal for people who have a reasonable amount of disposable income.
Shipping and Support Policy
Warby Parker offers free shipping and returns if you reside in the United States or Canada.
They have a 30-day, no-questions-asked coverage for all their glasses, in addition to a 1-year guarantee for all their lenses where they'll replace your scratched lenses for free within the 1st 12 months.
The minimum delivery time is very reasonable at 5 business days for non-prescription sunglasses. The maximum duration is a short wait for progressive prescription eyeglasses and single-vision prescription sunglasses at 10-12 business days.
This company has the best customer service on our opinion. Customer support representatives are friendly, helpful, and attentive as they answered all our questions. You may reach the organization by phone, email or live chat. The website is very easy to navigate also. The website even has an FAQ section and order guide to help you find the right eyeglasses to match your style.
Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
Home Try-on Service
One of the coolest aspects about Warby Parker is their "Home Try-On" service that actually helps you to choose which glasses will fit you.
All you will need to do is select five pairs of eyeglasses and they'll be sent to you at no expense. Then test them out for 5 days and see which ones you like. Buy your chosen eyeglasses online and you will be sent a fresh new pair. Lastly, once your 5 days are up, set the box in the mail with its prepaid return tag.
Warby Parker Frames Quiz
If you need assistance picking some glasses to test out, you can take the Warby Parker Frames Quiz. It only requires a few quick responses to find out which set of great-looking eyeglasses will be the best choice for you. Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
Warby Parker is very proud of being sustainable and eco-friendly in its business as well. One of their fundamental missions as a business is to proactively work on decreasing its harm on the ecosystem. The organization is a 100 percent carbon-neutral eyewear manufacturer. Additionally, Warby Parker actively works to reduce their impact on the ecosystem by tracking the greenhouse gas emissions from their frame manufacturing, to transport, warehousing, and office work. They are working hard to offset their carbon accordingly.
Warby Parker Gives Back
Another aspect that makes Warby Parker appealing to clients is that they are very similar to TOMS Shoes, on the principle of purchase a pair and give away a pair of glasses. When a pair is purchased they give away a set to some person in need. They saw a need that people from all over the world don't have the means to see clearly, which is a wide scale issue. Warby Parker is working to address this matter by aiding people gain access to glasses to be able to see.
Final Thoughts Warby Parker Eyeglasses $95
Warby Parker sells trendy eyewear categorized into special and fun collections for both men and women. Overall, the experience with Warby Parker was overwhelmingly great. The new glasses are well rounded and fit well, and the ordering procedure was easy and fun. If you're searching for a brand new pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses, I recommend that you give Warby Parker a try. For glasses wearers that are looking for a extensive range of alternatives from the coolest materials and designs, and prefer the option of being able to shop online or in store, Warby Parker is the retailer for you.

Koh-i-Noor: The History of the World's Most Infamous Diamond
, Anita Anand
Publication Date
September 12, 2017
Product Description
Customer Reviews
From the internationally acclaimed and bestselling historians William Dalrymple and Anita Anand, the first comprehensive and authoritative history of the Koh-i-Noor diamond, arguably the most celebrated jewel in the world.

On March 29, 1849, the ten-year-old leader of the Sikh kingdom of the Punjab was ushered into the magnificent Mirrored Hall at the center of the British fort in Lahore, India. There, in a formal Act of Submission, the frightened but dignified child handed over to the British East India Company swathes of the richest land in India and the single most valuable object in the subcontinent: the celebrated Koh-i-Noor diamond, otherwise known as the Mountain of Light. To celebrate the acquisition, the British East India Company commissioned a history of the diamond woven together from the gossip of the Delhi Bazaars. From that moment forward, the Koh-i-Noor became the most famous and mythological diamond in history, with thousands of people coming to see it at the 1851 Great Exhibition and still more thousands repeating the largely fictitious account of its passage through history.

Using original eyewitness accounts and chronicles never before translated into English, Dalrymple and Anand trace the true history of the diamond and disperse the myths and fantastic tales that have long surrounded this awe-inspiring jewel. The resulting history of south and central Asia tells a true tale of greed, conquest, murder, torture, colonialism, and appropriation that shaped a continent and the Koh-i-Noor itself.

Imagine waking up one day to discover that you have forgotten everything about your life. Your only link with the past, your only hope for the future, is your identical twin.

Now imagine, years later, discovering that your twin had not told you the whole truth about your childhood, your family, and the forces that had shaped you. Why the secrets? Why the silences? You have no choice but to begin again.

This has been Alex's reality: a world where memories are just the stories people tell you, where fact and fiction are impossible to distinguish. With dogged courage he has spent years hunting for the truth about his hidden past and his remarkable family. His quest to understand his true identity has revealed shocking betrayals and a secret tragedy, extraordinary triumph over crippling adversity and, above all, redemption founded on brotherly love.

Marcus his twin brother has sometimes been a reluctant companion on this journey, but for him too it has led to staggering revelations and ultimately the shedding of impossible burdens.

Their story spans continents and eras, from 1950s debutantes and high society in the Home Counties to a remote island in the Pacific and 90s raves. Disturbing, funny, heart-breaking and affirming, Alex and Marcus's determination to rebuild their lives makes us look afresh at how we choose to tell our stories.

On a snowy Christmas Eve, a beautiful young mother goes out to buy a few last minute gifts...and never returns.

Until the day Audrey clears out the home of a lonely old widow and finds some shocks.

Relentlessly, Audrey pursues clues to her family鈥檚 troubled history. Because the truth will set her free鈥nless it gets her killed.

The GH Kaestlin Collection of Imperial Russian and Zemstvo Stamps...

Product Description
Customer Reviews
A quiet philatelist, George H. Kaestlin joined the original Rossika Society in 1935 along with the better known Theo B. Lavroff and K. Szymanowski. Whereas Lavroff contributed significantly to Russian philately as an author and researcher and Szymanowski was an avid collector, Kaestlin collected privately. Born in Moscow, circa 1893, Kaestlin arrived in England in 1939. After World War II, When the original Rossika dissolved, he did not join the newly reconstituted Rossica Society of the United States. He never wrote for any philatelic magazine, never joined the London-based British Society of Russian Philately, and never showed his material at any exhibition. Thus he managed to elude notice in the literature of the times and receded into obscurity. Kaestlin鈥檚 exceedingly remarkable contribution, however, is found in the quality and scope of his collection and in the preservation of the treasures he acquired (many from the legendary Faberg茅 collection).

Kaestlin鈥檚 attention to detail and fastidious collecting habits are evident in the layout and handwriting in his albums. His collection, donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1984 by his niece Vera Madeleine Kaestlin-Bock, includes more than 1,250 album pages on which he organized more than 14,000 Imperial Russian and zemstvo stamps. The quality of the stamps is outstanding. With the publication of this book, Kaestlin can finally take his place among the greats of Russian philately. The G.H. Kaestlin Collection of Imperial Russian and Zemstvo Stamps is one of the greatest museum collections outside of Russia.

The document looks so good, All the suggestions are shorting out with status. Some of them are under maintenance, Some are completed and some of them don't want to work form fiverr. It's really amazing to see the status.
2020 Suggestion Document Feedback
I agree with you about the banned users, So they can contribute with us their knowledge.
Excellent document you have created, I like the part in whole is "Tips From Successful sellers: A separate category where only Top rated/Pro/Experienced sellers (minimum 2 years of Fiverr Experience) can post."
Add a TRS specific group
You get cool points for adding a gif of Ricky Rozay Da Boss.
Serious note: I glanced at the doc and so far so good. I'll look over the document on my downtime. Happy to see that You/Fiverr is actively working on ironing out these issues. Imagine, if some or most of these things are implemented!? Wowzers, the Forum would be a better place to be, better than Studio 54.
Re Permabans, I am in two minds about it.
On the one hand, it would reduce the "threat" of being banned from the forum which could see the impact of warnings reduced. It could also lead to a ridiculous situation where people are permabanned twice.
On the other hand, people change, people can miss the forum enough to be ok with toeing the line in future. There should obviously be a difference between someone who repeatedly broke minor rules etc and those who were sending obscene messages to other users etc, but my overall thinking is a that a review could take place after a year (or other specified time) if requested by the banned user and that would be decided by Staff rather than mods.
It would be important for other forum users to be aware that anyone coming back would likely need to behave a bit different to before and so trying to bring back the previous fun times (which got the user banned) would be a bad idea.
Some sellers who were banned were of the opinion that they were ok with it. They didn't want to monitor/filter what they said. So it's probably best not to try to bring them back.
I think it's ok to have long lists of people simply saying "congratulations". I had a thread I started like that and found it to be very rewarding. We can skip over threads we don't like.
For sure, I don't mean that everyone is just brought back, just that there is an avenue for them to request it if desired
The reason most were banned were due to being insulting to others. Or in at least one case continuing to post things political. They couldn't stop doing these things. They won't change. (I am quite fond of three of them that I miss.)
We had that years ago, but hardly anyone posted there.
So do I. Permanent bans are too extreme. A 30 day ban is usually enough.
I really liked the idea
If you say it like that, indeed, multiple permabans would be ridiculous, however, dear forum Gods, a forum reset with clarification of rules and other changes could be an excellent point for an "amnesty"/review.
Not sure how many of the banned ones have really committed "unforgivable sins" that warrant 1000 years of forum suspension.
1 year IMO should suffice as the max ban in most cases, people can change a lot in a year (even forum rules, or main site rules and policies, at that, can change a lot in a year). Actual trolls probably also would have found other trolling grounds in the course of that year and if they do come back, and resume trolling, next 1-year ban.
For the probably very few cases in which users do really atrocious things
(like, I don't even know, threaten other users and their families, plotting to get another user banned on the main site, purposefully try to destroy the community, ?, such things must be a rare occurrence here, but I've seen it all in other places, so)
by all means, have a perma-ban (100 years should suffice, though, assuming all forum users are humans and discobot is beyond any shadow of doubt, rule-breaking-wise; this might change at some point when we get AIs frequenting the forum ).
Maybe a clear separate category for "Not Fiverr-Related Discussions" could help with a few issues too, then people who only want to read about and discuss Fiverr things, search for specific Fiverr-related info, etc., could just stay out of there and save their valuable time for doings, and people who want to look over the rim of the espresso cup once in a while, or just chat about dogs or whatever, could venture there (of course, that category would be subject to the forum rules, too).
Some people might argue that the Fiverr forum should only have Fiverr-related categories, and that would be fair enough, too, but all forums I frequent/ed, do have some "General Discussion" type of category or at least one such thread going, and those tend to belong to the most popular ones and to enliven the forums.
I'd also think about making only certain categories browsable without being logged in (like the FAQ, a revamped "My Fiverr Experience"/"Fiverr Stories" category with a bit more meat than "I made a sale and got a review. THE END"), and keep others (like a potential "General Not-Fiverr-related Discussion/Thread", Ranting Pot, Improve my Gig) accessible only when logged in.
Looking forward to seeing how the "Working on it" and "On the list" items will pan out.
Nothing about Fiverr Learn?
Regarding the permaban issue, I think the forum needs to face facts.
As far as I am aware, there are at least four independent forums and social media groups that have sprung up online, where a lot of Fiverr forum regulars and banned members now socialize freely every day.
People who use these forums like not having to worry about what they say because of 'Big Brother' Fiverr. They also like being able to socialize with who they want, while being free of hourly doses of "help, have got no sales, need tips."
The more active those independent forums and social media groups become, the more the official Fiverr forum just limps along getting less interesting by the day.
I have no doubt that it will be the last thing the Fiverr forum team wants to hear. However, the simple fact is that efforts to 'protect' the Fiverr community that supposedly justify permabans have only worked to drive a lot of the core Fiverr community underground. - And this kind of defeats the point of permabans in the first place,
Right, the more "central planning" Fiverr does, the more they encourage "black markets." Too much censorship on the forum only encourages others to go elsewhere, where they can speak freely.
Thanks for giving us this, i hope it will help us.
- Add an AI subsection to the programming and tech section.
- Add a suggestions tab in, above, or below the Fiverr help & support tab.
- Add withdrawal button for Fiverr cash next to the cash.
So, I revisited the document again. It would've been nice to see the names of the people who suggested these suggestions. Yanno, like citing sources, give credit where credit is due. Just sayin'
Secondly, if you decide on keeping IMG/MFG. Oh dear, I really hope not LOL but that's just me. Rules should be put in place where 1. Limited posting to 1x per day or 3x, pick a number. 2. Preapproval before these posts appear to confirm people aren't posting back to back. Nobody likes spam, at least I don't! YUCK
Report A Bug category.
The Devs should keep an eye on this category. Maybe once in awhile, leave a note to say what has been fixed or working on in a pinned post (closed) to comments. Just to keep the Community informed and the engagement going!
I agree with you about the banned users

Spring Tour
Categories: Celebrity Gossip, Featured, Neighborhood News | Posted: April 11, 2011
The Greater Fort Worth Spring Tour of New Homes is coming up in May and I am very excited! We love the Spring Tour because it introduces us to lots of people who have never heard of Antares Homes before. We really loved it last year because we won a lot of awards. Those awards made us feel really special.
What was so exciting about those awards last year is that our Model Home at 6836 Waterhill Lane was the Grand Award Runner Up! Now, I know a lot of folks who would say Runner Up is just second place, but it is second place over 51 other homes, many of which are in a much higher price range! That gives me warm fuzzies! The Grand Award winner was Sean Knight Custom Homes' 4709 Santa Cova Court, valued at over $2 million! I'll play second fiddle to that! 😉
This year the Tour has been completely re-vamped and there will be a lot of visitor interaction on the Tour website. It's not complete yet; we builders have to enter all of our information on our entries! But, you will get to vote on your favorite homes and you will have access to customize your tour by choosing which homes you want to visit and printing out a map and route. There are a few more surprises in store for tour visitors that I am not at liberty to speak of, but I can say that I can't hardly wait until it's all completed!!!
Tour Dates:
May 7 & 8
May 14 & 15
May 21 & 22

It's hard to believe that June is already upon us!
The Mysore classes will be running as usual all month including an Introductory Workshop next Saturday, June 8th for both beginners and anyone looking for a refresher in the basic fundamentals (see below for full details.)
Ashtanga Yoga is so often misunderstood as a purely physical practice but it can be a deeply healing and transformative practice when correctly understood. It is a very precise and systematic practice. Progression in your practice can only be truly measured when you can breath comfortably in the challenging asanas. This gives the real depth of connectivity between the mind and the body. Otherwise, it's just bending like circus contortionists (as it can appear to many outsiders!) The idea is to allow ourselves to use each new asana to help us peel back the layers of deep conditioning and trauma trapped within us. It's not about killing ourselves and racing through the practice. Ultimately, the body will age and the asanas will go. What matters is how we use them to tap into our inner soul. Please try to remember this when you come to your mat!
Applications are now open on our next Immersion Course commencing in January 2020. This comprehensive course is designed to help yoga students deepen their personal practice and for those already teaching to get a deeper foundation and refine their skills through understanding the Ashtanga practice from the inside out. Our lecturers are leaders in their field of yoga, including esteemed Yoga Philosophy lecturer, Marianne Jacuzzi and Anatomy and Physiology lecturer, Daniela Gonzales Arez – see HERE. You can find lots more details and the application process HERE.
The Introductory Mysore Workshop next Saturday, June 8th from 10.30am-1pm is an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in learning the traditional way to practice Ashtanga yoga or anyone interested in transitioning in to the Mysore classes. The primary focus of the workshop will be on learning the correct breathing technique and the basic fundamental postures, enabling you to transition into the Mysore classes with confidence. Complete beginners are most welcome.
See you at the Mysore classes!
Introductory Mysore Workshop
Saturday, June 8th
10.30am – 1.00pm
This Introductory Workshop is suitable for all levels (including complete beginners) that would like to learn the traditional way to practice Ashtanga Yoga. You will be guided through the correct breathing technique and a series of the basic fundamental postures. You will develop a strong foundation and the confidence to transition into the Mysore classes.

A practical exploration into the key anatomical and physiological principles relevant to the Ashtanga yoga practice.

The study of yogic breathing techniques and working with the yogic locks (bandhas) of the body: mula, uddiyana and jalandhara bandhas will be an integral element of the course.
