Hi George. You sent a question about vanity plates to my Blame it on Lorraine section, which has a blind email, so I can't answer you directly without going through the rigamarole of posting it as a letter. It's about my Wheels column today regarding vanity plates.
You asked:
If George has 1 vanity plate and wants to sell it to Lorraine who has none, how long do George and Lorraine have to spend in the licensing office if George returns the plates to the ministry while Lorraine simultaneously orders them?
See, that's the thing. You can't sell me GEORGE for any amount, nor can you return it to the ministry to get them to sell it to me. That's the stupid part of the whole thing: even if you don't want it anymore, you can only transfer it within you family. I've had a couple of readers say they've transferred vanity plates to strangers: that wasn't what I was told by the spokesman for the Ministry of Transportation, so I'm still looking into it. I know you can apply to transfer them, but I was told it's a whole hullabalo to do so.
Our government won't let you make money from something you own, nor are they smart enough to make money themselves from it.

Iran might be in the midst of another revolution or not, but one thing's certain: the Obama administration is going to persist in referring to an active Iranian nuclear weapons program that its own intelligence agencies say doesn't exist.
Speaking to reporters today on Air Force One, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs declared that the U.S. government's "concerns" about Iran aren't any different than they were before the election fiasco:
Obviously we continue to have concern about what we've seen. Obviously the Iranians are looking into this, as well. We continue to be heartened by the enthusiasm of young people in Iran.
But I think what's important is the concerns that we have about their nuclear weapons program, and the concern we have about their support for terror isn't any different than it was on Friday.
It should be noted that Iran vehemently denies have any desire for a nuclear weapons program, and the latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency report on Iran (pdf) states that "the Agency continues to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran." Admiral Dennis Blair, President Obama's director of national intelligence, also testified under oath earlier this year that Iran neither has the highly enriched uranium needed to make a nuke nor has its leadership made the decision to pursue nuclear weapons.
Still, Gibbs, following the lead of Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, continues to refer to an active Iranian "nuclear weapons program", a distortion of intelligence worthy of Dick Cheney. So far no reporters have called him on it.

(Michael Schwartz) - The Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment preliminary index for February that was reported last week declined slightly from the late January number and it was lower than expected as consumers continued to fret over unemployment. The index is now down 24% from January 2007, according to data from the St. Louis Federal Reserve. Ironically, when consumers are glum, that could be good news for the financial markets.

Jormungand episode 12
What a huge relief! I was so glad when I saw that Ugo survived the attack. I knew I didn't have to worry. Killing a bad ass like him wouldn't be so easy. That brings me to the following question; can we really count this as a season finale? I'm not too sure. Yeah, I'm more than satisfied with the episode in general, but it doesn't really want to make me watch the next season. Mind you, I definitely will.
The final episode of this season started as Ugo tried to avoid getting his head chopped off. It's a good thing that Lehm regained consciousness, because Ugo would've definitely been dead if it weren't for Lehm. I knew that it would take more than just a simple blow to the head to take that guy out for long. It was enough for Ugo to retaliate, escape that unfortunate position and beat that guy through the wall. Absolutely epic.
That brings me to the following question; how? How can it be that Koko's team took out those three mercenaries so easily after that? I expected a huge struggle for survival to be honest. Lehm defeated that big guy, Koko managed to defeat that girl by opening a door and Ugo managed to outdrive "boss Dominique". I'm not saying it's bad, not at all. I just think that it shouldn't have been that simple, that's all.
This all brings me to the battle between Sofia and the guy she's trying to get revenge on. She actually drugged Jonah to make him sleep through it, but it's good that she woke up quickly, as she needed him to take out the sniper that was shooting at her. I wouldn't say that it was easy for her to kill that guy, but I will say that I wanted to see just how she did it, you know? But still, getting shot in the back to save your precious comrade is pretty noble, no matter how sick and twisted you are. That goes to show that even Sofia has a heart that doesn't just beat for Koko's sake.
Finally I would like to end this post by saying that I really enjoyed Jormungand and that I will be waiting to watch the second season as well. Great job on this one!

I was going to go out this afternoon on a very nice day but instead ended up going to the community care to diagnosis my own issue...Shingles! When it rains it pours.
Hope to get a long run in tomorrow.

Intro Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite
RescueTime has been a part of my life that is working For more than 6 decades, but I have never sat down to write a RescueTime review until a few months ago. Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite
Marked my first year of self-employment. I took the time to re-evaluate all of my resources and working procedures to make sure I had a good moment equilibrium among my priorities.
After all — if you are paid hourly or not, Your time is your sole resource that is non-renewable. If you're likely to handle anything, it should become your time.
Since almost all my professional priorities are on A computer — time management software (ie, RescueTime) is a core component of that.
Here is my RescueTime review with pros utilize Cases and following steps based on my expertise.
Click here to sign up for RescueTime today.
What Is RescueTime?
RescueTime is a time management & Productivity software firm founded in 2008. The RescueTime app runs in the background of your apparatus automatically categorizing your activity, measuring and tracking.
RescueTime is a free program with a premium upgrade That allows more reporting and features like time input that is offline . It delivers a reporting dash with your information diced, sliced and sorted into charts that are helpful to assist you manage your own time.
The app relies on Peter Drucker's (the famous Management advisor ) maxim that"what gets measured, gets managed."
RescueTime takes time's tracking So that you truly track your time so that and makes it automatic and painless .
Nevertheless, there are dozens and dozens of Improvement & time management tools on the Internet. What are the pros & cons of RescueTime? Here is what I've noticed over the years.
Disclosure — I receive referral fees Mentioned on this site. Any info or remarks are based on my expertise as a paying client or consultant to a customer. Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite
Rescuing Your Time
To reiterate, RescumeTime is a productivity tool at the Sense that it helps you improve your abilities. It gathers data about the apps and websites you use, and then generates reports based on that information.
You install a and create an account to Begin Desktop app in your own computer(s) and optionally a mobile app on Android apparatus ) There's no iOS program because the operating system prevents RescueTime from collecting the data it needs to perform its purpose. Those programs quietly and invisibly monitor which programs you use and which sites you visit, in addition to the quantity of time you spend on them.
The hard nut to crack is the Way to make sense of all that information. To get the best results, you have to customize your account from the RescueTime site and inform the program more about what you believe productive versus unproductive activity. The further you fine-tune it to your particular circumstances, the greater your results. For example, somebody who works in the finances industry might classify reading financial news on web sites including MarketWatch and FT.com as a productivity task, whereas for me, that is an unproductive use of time.
You can categorize every app and site on a 5-point Scale of quite productive, productive, impartial, unproductive, and very unproductive. You can even categorize activity into perform categorizes. By way of example, I record Google Docs as very productive, and I categorized it as Writing, which will be a subcategory of Layout and Composition. Looking at Redfin.com is very distracting when I am trying to function, and I've categorized it .
In the desktop app, there's a simple set of controllers That lets you pause RescueTime for 15 minutes, one hour, or until tomorrow, providing you easy access to shifting the program off for breaks or days once you wrap up early.
When faced with RescueTime's proposal –We'll monitor Everything you do and give you insights about your habits! –some individuals may, justifiably, worry about their privacy and the security of information in their own hardware. Should you use sensitive information online or keep sensitive information on your own computers and mobile devices, you are going to want to browse RescueTime's privacy and safety statements carefully.
For everyone RescueTime's privacy policy Contains a summary at the top, just a couple of stiff lines which are worth reading.
If your worries are somewhat more relaxed and You Just Don't Want RescueTime monitoring you on the weekend, so you've got control over the times and days the program monitors your behaviour. You can easily set it to only watch your activity from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or whatever schedule suits you.
I have used RescueTime for years, and I don't check my Daily, productivity reports. I love to let the service run in the background so that when I really do want to find a better picture of how I have been spending my time, a fantastic quantity of information is awaiting me.
While I do go through the reports, however, they are Magnificent. I really like the variety, giving you get multiple ways of understanding your productivity and customs, from bar charts and pie charts that show lump amounts of activity, to line things of applications you employed.
One simple but powerful piece of advice RescueTime Provides is an investigation of when during the day you tend to be the most productive. I wasn't surprised to see that my brain peaks in the morning and slacks off after 2:00 p.m., as that matches pretty well with what I understand about my customs. If you've never analyzed your productivity, nevertheless, that might be a useful revelation for you, one that might help you schedule your days more productively.
The longer you use RescueTime Premium, the more useful the Data becomesbecause you may see your data by day, week, month, or year. And as you might expect, it is possible to toggle which times and days RescueTime records your action so it turns off automatically on weekends, for example. Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite
Additional Features
Much of the value you get from RescueTime comes from what You make of the data and how you use that data to affect your behavior. Changing behaviour is tough, but getting rich insights does not need to be.
Among the ways RescueTime makes it easy to understand how To interpret all the information it collects is with a Productivity Pulse score. This daily evaluation, shown as a percent, comes in calculating the percent of time spent on very productive, productive, neutral, unproductive, and very wasteful jobs. To be clear, nobody is advocating you aim for a 100 percent Productivity Pulse score.
A RescueTime blog article explaining the productivity Score notes that the average score is 67 percent, and the on site average is 79 percent. Most people want to do some work which is not considered"very productive" during daily. The whole point of using RescueTime is to help you work out how to concentrate on productive and incredibly productive tasks if you need to and possibly save productive activities for times when your ability to concentrate was waning anyway.
Productive jobs are not the same thing as distractions. RescueTime has a simple and smart attribute for controlling behavior, such as getting sucked into sites that are distracting , too. A feature called FocusTime, when enabled, blocks your ability to access websites for a time period you specify. It takes a little setup and personalization, but it's quite powerful once it is ready to set up. As an example, let's say you want to to finish a record, and to make progress on it, you need to concentrate hardcore for the next thirty minutes. Switch on FocusTime, and it may prevent you from taking a look at email, posting on Twitter, checking sports scores, or whatever other sites and activities you deem deflecting.
The RescueTime mobile app has Automatically silence your phone you enable FocusTime. Likewise, you may set up other automation with the support of third-party services IFTTTFree in iTunes Store and Zapier to block or silence additional distractions. By way of example, you may make a rule with IFTTT (it stands for"if this, then that") that states,"When I empower FocusTime, then automatically set my Slack status to active."
RescueTime also Provides you the Choice Idle time. Any time RescueTime notices the computer was idle for several minutes in a row, it pops up a dialogue asking if you're in a meeting, on the phone, taking break, etc, and lets you categorize the idle time accordingly.
Advantages of RescueTime
Here's a Number of the advantages of using RescueTime Over other solutions. Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite
Feature Set
At its heart, RescueTime does something — track time. If you look at it that way, it's not unique. Technically, you could do any of those dozens of apps that are free or that with a spreadsheet online.
However, RescueTime's attribute set The way that it monitors time and exactly what it does with the data (aka, one you'll actually use).
Click here to sign up for RescueTime today.
RescueTime watches that windows have Activity, looks at the window title, and times the activity in this window. It's constantly running in the background — always watching.
Unobtrustive makes RescueTime rewarding. There is not any friction or hurdle to monitoring time.
Since RescueTime's tracking feature solves that Problem, you'll have data that is complete, correct & useful.
RescueTime's other features focus on producing their Core feature. Like time-tracking & billing for 15, they do not attempt to include on complementary characteristics. They don't attempt to enter any side businesses.
They do have a few attributes Using the monitoring Attribute in an intriguing way. The Get Focused! From running when selected feature blocks deflecting sites and/or programs.
They have goals and alarms that Permit You to pick What you want to happen when X occurs — and RescueTime will do that based on what it is tracking.
I love how RescueTime does Offline Time Tracking. Rather than being required to search and put in it 100% manually, you pick a time interval that's unlogged and fill in the blank.
You can customize the buttons to make logging Offline time simple and quick.
It's a feature but that's precisely What makes it great. It's well-done, straightforward and simple.
Pricing and Strategies
RescueTime provides two tiers of service: Lite (free) and Premium ($9 a month or $72 per year). Firms or organizations that are looking to use RescueTime across a bunch of individuals pay the same speed as Premium subscribers.
RescueTime Lite offers plenty for someone who has never Monitored his or her time before. The program monitors which sites and applications you use, and how long spent in or on each of these. You may categorize each program and website you are using on a Productive/Unproductive scale, also RescueTime generates a couple of primary reports demonstrating the best way to spend your own time. Lite members can set weekly objectives, such as"spend X hours per week on productive tasks and fewer than Y minutes on faulty items." It's possible to find a weekly report email for you. For reports, you are confined to a history, however.
Paying subscribers get everything from the Lite plan that is free, Plus reports and extra features, including an infinite report history. Premium also comes with alerts you can enable for when you hit on daily goals. You can more accurately log time spent away from the computer, noting if you were in a meeting, on a telephone call, or just out to lunch. Furthermore, there is a Get Focused alternative, which lets you block deflecting websites for a period of time you set. Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite
Assessing RescueTime's cost to that of other apps Needs an open mind as apps do exactly what RescueTime does. Qbserve is one of the programs you can find, and it charges a flat one-time fee of $40.
We can look at more Apps for freelancers that typically include tools for generating bills. HarvestFree at Harvest is an adequate example. At $12 per person per month for Premium, it costs more than RescueTime, but it has a clear return on investment since it helps to ensure more accurate billing. How you'll translate RescueTime's reports and make better use of your time as a result is much less clear.
Toggl Popular among freelancers, costs $9 a month, and in addition, it provides you clear tools for tracking time spent on jobs with billing clients' usual end goal. It has integration options for linking with invoicing services, although toggl doesn't include its own invoicing tools.
A Couple of apps are nearer to RescueTime in what they have to Provide, for example Slife, although they have a tendency to have fewer attributes even if they are free (and Slife is).
Either way — RescueTime is a no-brainer pricing-wise. It is totally free to use.
And when you are saved by the reporting/advanced attributes just 1 hour per month then it is paid for itself even if you are only making US minimum wage.
RescueTime is.
Program Quality
A problem with monitoring programs of all kinds is That they have to be on. The"always on" attribute can cause performance issues on laptops & desktop computers. Battery problems can be caused by it on mobile devices.
But in my experience, RescueTime causes neither. It's running from startup in also my Nexus 5x mobile phone, my Windows PC, along with my Macbook Pro. I have never monitored any battery or functionality problems to the app.
It is well-built and lightweight.
I like the fact that the app doesn't demand Dozens of permissions. It requires access to usage data, but doesn't try to track contacts location, emails, or some of the normal privacy violating permissions programs request.
It's quick to set up and syncs with an online dashboard. It crunches the data if you are on the Premium plan or by next day on the program that is free, and pulls in data from all sources at the exact same time.
What's the point of data if it can't be interpreted by you Or put it to use? Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite
RescueTime's accounts solves this issue — and in Many ways is the entire purpose of working with the program.
RescueTime's Dashboard uses bar graphs and Pie charts to show just what you are (and are not) doing.
You can Choose to receive emails reports every day, Week or month.
And on Top of That, you can dig deep to the Reporting with numerous filters and overlays to find your habits out.
It is really eye-opening to see that the real amount of Time that each task takes.
When I trying to find a marketing agency in Atlanta — The time monitored to Gchats and Instant Messages was astonishing. It altered my job managers personally, but also processes not only for me personally.
Now I'm on my own with no fulltime workers I can see the precise time I devote to jobs that matter. I can build .
And just to reiterate the reports are Built-in to the computer software. The Dashboard is really on my default — and innovative reports are pre-built.
It's all seamless quick and effective so that you When analyzing your time are currently wasting time.
Among the key selling points of RescueTime is their feature set minimalism. They do something and they do it well.
That said — most all people using their product Have software needs that are time-based. When it's project management, billing, staff time tracking or anything your time demands usually don't cease with measuring monitoring and categorization.
To resolve that Issue, RescueTime's software Integrates with a huge range. They've guide integrations and an open API with common software.
Whether you are a freelancer trying to integrate Time monitoring into even a job manager that needs to collate staff member's time or invoicing applications like FreshBooks, RescueTime will probably integrate with it.
Disadvantages of RescueTime
Like any applications RescueTime is Nor can it be the best fit for everyone. Here is some disadvantages that I've noticed over time. Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite
Default Get Focused! Groups
Generally, RescueTime's classes good. Websites like Reddit, Facebook and Twitter are"Very Distracting"…for most people. And for general tracking, RescueTime's classes are fast & easy to repair.
However, RescueTime's classes can be off with overall News, sites and research websites' subdomains.
I can't use the Get Focused! Performance for almost any Task which requires research (aka visiting a bunch of different sites ).
The time I need smart blocking Functionality is when I am doing research for a post
There is a fine line between this really is productive and When I'm researching, this is distracting. It would be great to use RescueTime, but the categories aren't accurate enough for this to work.
The Main issue is the Block Sites function Is not available in reverse (ie, add specific sites to block). I can add websites to unblock.
And when I am visiting dozen blocked sites — Manually adding them quickly becomes time wasting.
If You're Looking for an program that will block Specific sites — RescueTime isn't it.
Effectiveness vs. Efficiency
RescueTime (or any time management applications ) Heightens the bias towards efficiency .
If you do the wrong thing for 18 hours per day, Daily with focus that is ideal — you are doing the thing that is wrong.
The most important Element in time management is to Work on the things — the 20% of time input which will generate 80% of your outcomes.
And that's a element that is 100% on you personally. RescueTime Can not fix that issue.
In fact, in some ways, RescueTime can hurt your Efforts by pushing you towards efficient doing over strategy, research and planning.
If efficacy is your heart issue RescueTime is not for you. It will only make things worse.
Rather, I'd recommend reading a few of them books.
RescueTime continues to be an invaluable tool for me. It is not for everybody and has pitfalls and some attribute quirks.
Nevertheless, the thing is perspective. It's easy to believe you"work a ton" or are"not hooked on your phone" or"invest so much time composing" or are"barely ever on Facebook."
But the data doesn't lie. And using RescueTime to Get accurate time data on your time will be able to help you literally rescue your time and place your life. Rescue Time Mac Os X Yosemite

Students often pass hours talking about what they need to do and discussing how unprepared they are for exams. Now is the time to quit the talking and start doing!
If you have not already started studying, now is the time to move into the driver's seat and put the foot down. There is only ten weeks left until written examinations begin and, in less than three weeks, Leaving Certificate Orals take place.
Students need to ensure that they pace themselves over the next three weeks and do not focus solely on the orals. Students need to keep one eye on the orals and the other firmly on the final exams. Just because Orals are taking place does not mean that students can ignore other subjects and solely focus on the Orals.
In order to succeed in Oral examinations, students will need to practise, practise, and practise. In the coming three weeks, students should be studying on a daily basis for the Orals. It is important to remember that the Orals are not a test of knowledge; it is general conversation. Therefore, students should take control of the conversation and try to direct the conversation towards topics they have an interest in or have practised. It is vital that students remember that they are being scored on conversation, therefore the usual rules will apply i.e. looking at the person, a display of facial expressions, such as smiling etc.
It is important not to get anxious or panicked in the examination. If you do not understand a question that the examiner has asked, do not be afraid to say so. This is perfectly acceptable.
The most important point is to be relaxed and be yourself. Remember the examiner is there to give you marks. If you are well prepared, you can do extremely well. Keep talking, give plenty of detail and, basically, show the examiner how much you know and you will be fine.

"As we examined opportunities to expand prepaid card sales, we noted that growth will likely come from facilitating the use of prepaid cards as a payment tool," states Karen Augustine, manager of CustomerMonitor Survey Series
Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 16, 2013
Prepaid card buyer demographics are changing as consumers report purchasing a wider variety of prepaid cards and using a broad array of channels to buy them. Previously, young adults were most likely to purchase prepaid cards, but now the prepaid buyer demographic is skewed to consumers aged 35 to 64 years old -- over half of whom bought prepaid cards over the past year, especially specific retailer prepaid cards (38%) and prepaid cards (18%) for online services (i.e., iTunes, gaming).
Consumers and Prepaid 2012: More Tools, Please, the latest report from Mercator Advisory Group, is the third in a series of eight consumer survey reports for 2012. This study examines market dynamics, including prepaid card use and recalled loads, reloading awareness, usage and frequency, distribution channels, importance of feature sets, and the need for tools to manage prepaid payments. This year, while consumers test general purpose reloadable cards as a new payment form, they are asking for more tools to manage their account.
The report findings are based Mercator's CustomerMonitor Survey Series. The foundation of the series is data obtained during a national sample of 1,003 online consumer survey responses completed between June 8 and June 19, 2012.
"As we examined opportunities to expand prepaid card sales, we noted that growth will likely come from facilitating the use of prepaid cards as a payment tool," states Karen Augustine, manager of CustomerMonitor Survey Series at Mercator Advisory Group and the author of the report. "Prepaid customers are buying a greater variety of prepaid cards, but they need better tools to be able to use them more as a real payment form."
Highlights of this report include:
- Year-over-year trending of U.S adults purchasing prepaid cards, with a deeper focus on general purpose reloadable and nonreloadable cards
- Shifts in purchase patterns for prepaid cards and the major purchase channels
- Motivations and demographic differences that affect prepaid card purchasing
- Prepaid card concepts offering strong consumer value
The report is 50pages long and contains 22 exhibits

Also for prevention ahead of time oxidation in organism of fatty acids it is recommended to use them together with vitamin E. If the specified conditions are not observed, the attempt of treatment of an atherosclerosis with polyunsaturated fat acids can even by harmful.
The most important product containing unsaturated fatty omega 3acids is a cod-liver oil received from the fishes living in cold seas: mackerels, salmon, sardine. A good source is also a linseed oil.
About 5 g of cod-liver oil daily is recommended to take. It has to be packed into capsules, be stored in dark bottles, impenetrable for light.

Write off Bad Debts
With 31 March looming as the end of many businesses' financial year, there's always the prospect of paying too much tax, It doesn't need to be this way.
One of the biggest issues is the importance of writing off bad debts. It seems almost every year we have a client for whom we prepare the annual financial statements, who has a large amount of money owing to them.
When we get the results for the year we find there is a big profit, which has been inflated by an excessive accounts receivable figure. Discussion reveals some of this money is never going to be collected.
Can we fix the problem?
No. The law will not permit us to write off bad debts back-dated to the previous year. The client has to pay the tax and wait until next year to get these bad debts written off.
In the end the result is the same but in the meantime our client has to pay his tax earlier than would have been necessary.
Look at the debts owing to you. Are there some you have been pursuing and who won't pay you? Have you taken every reasonable step to get paid?
If yes, you must physically write off the bad debt before balance date, if you want to reduce your accounts receivable and hence your profit and tax. It depends on the system you are using as to how you go about this. If it's a very basic system like keeping copies of the invoices you have sent out, just write on your copy the words "written off as a bad debt on…" and insert the date. Do this now. It is not something you want to overlook.
You should tell us the amount you have written off as Inland Revenue likes us to record this separately.
Can you continue to try to collect a bad debt?
Definitely yes. If you're lucky enough to get some money it becomes part of your taxable income.
(See also 'Get your debtors right)
Big changes to PAYE on the way
- On 3 November 2016, Inland Revenue announced changes to PAYE effective from 1 April 2019.
- Monthly schedules are to be abolished.
- PAYE information is to be filed on a payday basis.
- Dates for payment of PAYE are to remain the same with the option of paying on a payday basis.
- All information is to be filed electronically unless total PAYE deductions are less than $50,000.
- Payroll subsidy is to cease from 1 April 2018.
Get your debtors right at 31 March
Clients use all sorts of systems for keeping a tally on the money owing to them. From a tax perspective, the figure at balance date needs to be accurate.
Please note:
Assuming a 31 March balance date, all work done up to 31 March which is capable of being charged must be included as income. For income tax purposes holding some of your invoicing over until April does not necessarily mean you can ignore it. You don't have to actually send out an invoice but you do have to add the amount into your accounts receivable figure for tax purposes. You won't be taxed twice because once we have put in a figure for the amount owing to you, we then deduct it in the next year's accounts. If work cannot be charged because it is not quite complete, it doesn't get included in your accounts receivable.
Some businesses have work in progress, which is partly completed work. They must value this on the basis of the amount of material which has gone into jobs in progress and the value of the wages they have paid to do that work. Any other direct costs should also be included such as hire of equipment.
Cut off
Don't deduct money received in April, until you have finalised the total owing to you at the end of March.
Professional services
Professionals, who have supplied partly completed work (not invoiced), do not need to include these services in their annual accounts unless there is a right to make progress claims.
For further information, please dont hesitate to contact us on (03) 379 0829.

Ate Douma
Ate Douma is Chief Architect at Open Source WCM vendor Hippo in The Netherlands. He is a member of the Apache Software Foundation and PMC member and committer for Apache Portals, Apache Wicket and the Apache Incubator. He is also mentoring the Wookie and Rave podlings through the Incubator process, and one of the initiators and active participants of the Apache Rave project. Ate served as Expert Group member of the java Community Process(JCP) for JSR-286: Portlet Specification 2.0 and JSR 301: Portlet Bridge Specification for JavaServer Faces.
November 9 2:30PMApache Rave is a new Incubator project commissioned to develop an open standards-based web and social mash-up engine for the Enterprise. The goal for Apache Rave is to become a leading open-source, context-aware User Experience Platform capable of delivering a wide variety of interaction channels, using open standards technologies as OpenSocial and W3C widgets and REST based services. As Rave advances, it will add features like content integration, collaboration, personalization, and rich user application features.
Apache Rave was initiated in 2010 at the previous ApacheCON in Atlanta and through subsequent discussions during the first Eurpean OpenSocial Event in Utrecht (The Netherlands), and thereafter created as a joint effort of several existing projects and individual participants. The Rave project thus provides an interesting case-study for bringing together multiple projects with already mature code bases. Rave members are also working together to reach out to other related Apache projects like Shindig and Wookie, to other potentially interested projects and developers both within and outside Apache, and most importantly to the many and diverse target communities.
During the presentation project initiators from Hippo, The MITRE Corporation and Indiana University will provide an overview of Apache Rave: the current status, its features and the goals, and talk about the process getting there.

"After the menstrual regulations services I was prescribed a few medicines which I could not buy due to poor financial condition"
Menstrual regulation, the method of establishing non-pregnancy for a woman at risk of unintended pregnancy, has been a part of Bangladesh's family planning program since 1979. It is allowed up to 10 –12 weeks after a woman's last menstrual period.
When Shana Khatun, a mother of three, became pregnant again she says she began to feel very weak and had issues with massive bleeding.Citing her age and the possibility of further medical complications, Khatun decided to undergo a menstrual regulation procedure.
"But if the hospital and services weren't there then I would have had to have continued with my pregnancy, even when (I do) not want another child" she says.
Khatun says that the procedure went well, but that without the presence of medicine found in Kit 8 she would have lacked post-operation medicine.
"After the menstrual regulations services I was prescribed a few medicines which I could not buy due to poor financial condition," she says. "But the hospital gave me a number of medicines that I could take."
And while Khatun had talked with women about various family planning methods, she didn't feel she could talk with anyone aside from her husband about getting the procedure.
"I feared they would treat me poorly (the hospital)," she says.
But Kahtun says she found the hospital trustworthy and helpful, even when she was suffering complications such as mass bleeding.
"I will be very cautious that I should not get pregnant again however in event if I get pregnant again then I will come to this hospital only," she says.

Intro Compare Wealthy Affiliate Solo Build WordPress
Perhaps you have noticed that many WA Review you find on the internet is promoting this merchandise for their own commission? Since wealthy affiliate coaches are allowing their members to foster the course itself to get 50 percent commission.
So how seriously can you take Those reviews? Do not ya think it is gonna be little biased?
Well here is a unbiased Inspection of Wealthy Affiliate from someone that really went through the course but isn't promoting it.
Meaning I'm just going to talk About the course's strength and weakness, no holds barred.
I've studied affiliate Marketing classes including Wealthy Affiliate.
Let me clarify everything that I've learned about it .
Wealthy Affiliate is a Training course showing individuals how to make money online.
1. First, let me explain what Internet affiliate marketing is then I will enter what you can find out as soon as you become a Wealthy Affiliate manhood and if it's worthwhile or not?
2. The Good and the Bad of Wealthy Affiliate program.
3. My recommendation. Should you join Wealthy Affiliate?
What's affiliate marketing?
Its earning money by promoting Other people's products. If your referral link creates a sale, then you get a commission for that referral.
People usually encourage either Products or product such as weight loss guidebooks.
Easily the area that Offers affiliate chance for physical product is Amazon.com
For informational goods and Everything in between, there is clickbank.com
Anyone can register and begin Marketing as an affiliate right away.
Its simple gets Their own unique connection and if they have the ability to generate traffic and people go to Amazon or clickbank through their connection, and they buy anything from these websites, they will make a commission. 5%-7% for Amazon, and for clickbank that it is dependent on the offer.
There's so many supplies at Clickbank to select from, this is how you can check.

You can not find an Affiliate application on clickbank or amazon.com? then try googling
"whatever your thing is" + "affiliate program"
What are some of the Bad about Affiliate Marketing?
· Competitive: you don't make any sales If traffic can't be generated by you. This is the challenge. When everybody can sign up for all these affiliate offers for free (really low barrier for entry), now you've got a situation where there is a boatload of competition for most affiliate chance out there. If you don't use paid traffic, the majority of men and women get traffic from creating a site and ranking it in Google, and that's exactly what Wealthy Affiliate instructs, but the challenge is there is only 10 spots on the first page of Google. And you need to compete for those spots with tens of thousands of affiliates around the world.
· Some offers may have conversion prices or low commission: Not all affiliate supplies were made equal. Some offers pay out more % per sale. Somer offers just do not convert that despite sending them a lot of traffic. It is important to pick a fantastic offer that works nicely and pays out high. Start looking for offers that are the most popular in your specialty at clickbank.com, or look at other affiliates rated on page 1 of Google inside the niche and look at which type of offers they're promoting. Those are the offers to promote in the market.
· Frequently times Affiliate Marketing is Over-Hyped: You will see a lot of testimonials promising spectacular results with affiliate marketing, for example"individual X produced $60,000 in only 30 days as a brand new affiliate" and there is many similar messaging like this unfortunately give affiliate marketing the incorrect perception, that its some sort of get rich quick scheme, which it is far from. This type of insanely results came from other successful aid that was paid or a Facebook advertisement. Sometimes because of multitude of variables an advertisement generate revenues that are high for period and can take off and then burn out. The difficulty is having the ability to sustain those kind of numbers. FB for you doesn't like offers that are most affilaite to be promoted, so finally your FB advertisement account will probably get banned or your advertisement will burn through its audience and stop working. I know this because I have been there done that. Those massive pay days are enjoyable but the real question is will you maintain it?
· Miss out on constructing your brand: As as an affiliate you are always promoting other people's merchandise, your hard work goes toward creating the new equity of other companies. Compare Wealthy Affiliate Solo Build WordPress
· Untruthful Marketing: Affiliate marketing generates an environment in which some people today promote products to make money with it not automatically because the product was actually tried by them or they truly believe in it.
What is great about Affiliate Marketing?
· Hassle-Free: You do not have to take any product or worry about customer order fulfillment, you merely have other businesses do all that, you simply promote their goods and produce a quick proportion of the sale. So its in that way.
· No Confusion Obtaining Credit for Sale and Getting Paid: Since you rely on technology to perform the tracking for you, affiliates never have to worry if they are getting their credit or not. With hyperlinks that automatically track visitors using cookies, it's so east and true
· Potential for Big Cash: If you got the skills to create large traffic to your affiliate link, you have the capacity to make a great deal of cash without worrying about fullfilling orders.
· So many affiliate provides out there: Whatever that thing you might be into, there's likely an affiliate program for it to make cash
How to Earn Money with Wealthy Affiliate?
So there is two ways to make Cash mula with WA.
1. You follow their path and Build your own affiliate site and try to create traffic to it to make your affiliate commission
2. Or Promote wealthy affiliate Program itself to create 50 percent of the sale if you are a member
My Wealthy Affiliate Complaint
I personally do not know if its A fantastic idea to just allow anyone and everyone to market Wealthy Affiliate inside this manner since you are likely to make bunch of WA members that have not really reached any amount of success with affiliate marketing yet but they are promoting Wealthy Affiliate now like its the very best business opportunity online.
Where is yo road credit brah?
You end up creating a great deal of Hype endorsed by no experience or signs.
Potentially fostering a Situation where people are joining Wealthy Affiliate, not because its the best affiliate marketing training course online but for the sake of re-marketing the path to others for gain.
This is starting to seem Pretty similar to a MLM (Network marketing), is it not?
Even though they adamantly Claim they aren't. Compare Wealthy Affiliate Solo Build WordPress
Anyway, just an observation I Made, because I run into so many sites out there promoting Wealthy Affiliate like its the bee's knees.
Which is the reason most People initially won't locate wealthy affiliate reviews.
Most training classes that are online Out there is not just gonna allow their pupils to turn around and sell the course for 50 percent of the sale.
I mean should not the course Itself be?
Not telling students to turn About and go market the course to others?
I mean That's What you are Effectively telling your students, when you let them go find affiliate supplies to promote all which are 5-25percent commission and you offer them the chance to market Wealthy Affiliate for 50 percent commission.
I don't believe its Ethical to market something that you yourself have not experienced any success with yet.
Not my style. ya dig?
Is Wealthy Affiliate worth it?
WA was really started by two Guys Kyle Loudon and Carson Lim back in 2005.
Though they Appear to be Adding some new things here and there for there members, to be honest, their affiliate instruction looks obsolete.
Here's the strategy at a nutshell.
1. Locate
2. Identify the "low-hanging Berry" aka keywords which are obsucre rather than that competitive
3. Build a site and write great Content about that"low-hanging fruit" aka low rivalry key word with low hunt volumes
Like I Mentioned Previously, your ability To succeed with affiliate marketing is all based on your capacity to create traffic.
Here's the Significant issue
This Sort of tactic might have Functioned back before 2012 if the contest was easy as shit.
And there wasn't this flood of SEO men dominating Google's very first page with affiliate sites you see today.
It may nevertheless be done.
However, You need SEO abilities that Are far beyond the scope of what is taught in Wealthy Affiliate.
That is not some biased opinion.
In 2019, you will need skills Enjoy creating your own blog network of powerful domains that is niche relevant so you can use them to produce your own backlinks to your affiliate website.
That is still the #1. Element in Google. High-quality backlinks from sites.
Not quality articles or Low-quality hyperlinks like forum posting, blog commenting, social media links, etc..
Whenever another Powerful site links to youpersonally, it is like a vote in Google's eyes. The more quality links pointed from niche sites that are related to you, the higher you will rank in Google.
Composing"quality material" and Hoping it will obviously rank to page 1 overtime is very old school plan that doesn't work anymore. Compare Wealthy Affiliate Solo Build WordPress
This is what I call old-world SEO that functioned pre-2012.
In 2019, you have the For yourself or you won't earn any money with affiliate 17, ability backlinks.
Affiliate marketing is Probably among the toughest internet money making opportunities out there in my opinion for a beginner.
SO rivalry.
And trust me when I say, I've Attempted all online small business opportunities on the market.
This might put it into Outlook for you bit.
Part of the reason Wealthy Affiliate coaches tell you to go after"low-hanging" fruit is that the coaches themselves certainly understand that with what they're teaching it's not possible to rank for medium-sized keyword phrases.
And this strategy may have Worked before 2012, to assist students create just like $50-$100 per day in the event that you built many websites that target these"low hanging" fruits.
But in 2019 I doubt you can Make that.
And there's a reason Known as"low-hanging fruit", since lookup quantity is quite very low that it's not worth going after for most SEO's.
Its the Exact Same thing as fighting For scraps.
You have to work more and Make less money than others with abilities that are better.
Why not invest in receiving When doing work Better abilities , so you can make more money?
Also after the Google Panda Update in 2016, most of these fruit cannot be rated by low power websites anyways.
Google only enjoys powerful Authoritative websites these days like this site.
So many Men and Women are so Desperate to make quick bucks online on what is the ideal business opportunity out there for them they don't utilize proper discernment.
I see this mistake of the time. Compare Wealthy Affiliate Solo Build WordPress
Hard work, commitment and Discipline is significant but if you are in the vehicle, you may only get so far.
I had a breakthrough when I realized this.
Other WA Features Offered Inside the Program
· Website builder with 3,000 templates
· Siterubix website builder
· Webhosting for 25 websites
· Support staff if you run into issues with a website
· Feedback on your website
· Assessing for the health of the site
· Safety and Backup of the site
· Website comments — they instruct you how to convince others to comment on your site because they believe engagement helps with rankings
· WA's own website registrars, asserting it's less costly than namecheap.com but I found this to be untrue…
· Site speed plugin similar to cloudflare
Most of these features you can Get at GoDaddy.com or many other web hosting companies such as site security and remarkable support if you run into any technical troubles.
It seems that they exude a lot These features to their students.
I found that the site feedback You get is quite basic because they just believe.
In 2019, you will waste a lot Of time building websites like these and not be able to have any rankings in Google.
The sport has changed.
Wealthy Affiliate cost?
There are few membership Choices
Subscription — basic Training about how best to create an affiliate site and how to get visitors. You can earn up to 15 percent for boosting Wealth Affiliate. You also get 2 free site using themes.
Premium Membership $49 each Month or $359 per year — Access the affiliate instruction that WA offers. You earn 50% for boosting wealthy affiliate rather than 15%.
I guess the free membership Training will give you some thoughts on what affiliate marketing is all about but to actually become successful with only the training is doubtful.
So most likely, anyone seirous About earning money online with Wealthy Affiliate is gonna want cover the $359 per year to the premium membership.
Wrap-up Compare Wealthy Affiliate Solo Build WordPress
Overall I feel that this Affiliate marketing class is obsolete now.
You cannot just write quality Content and anticipate your site to rank and generate traffic if you target low competition keywords.
Think of how much more Competition there is now in contrast to 2012 or 2005, which was wealthy affiliate was started?
Every year of SEO Skills necessary to make money with affilaite marketing improved.
Able to create high-quality market backlinks.
I would be hard-pressed to find Any WA member making excellent money by using their training course.
Do you see so Folks talking good about WA and promoting it as an amazing business opportunity?
Since WA provides 50 percent Commission once they are joined by you for promoting their class.
This created an environment Where you have these people that are affiliate marketers promoting Wealthy Affiliate as an amazing affiliate course despite the fact that they have.
It's Very simple to spot.
It Appears that the people Earning cash with WA these times are the ones promoting WA.
Let's take a look at some of These WA student websites boosting WA for the 50 percent commission.
I google "Wealthy Affiliate Review" which get around 8,100 monthly hunts
You see websites like
newsonlineincome.com and eliteaffiliatehacks.com
At the top position, so these Are real WA pupils making money. Their"top" pupils.
You can use tools Moz domain authority checker to get an idea for how strong these websites are.
I am not impressed with A DA of 18 for eliteaffiliatehacks.com
My site journalreview.org is DA of 30
newsonlineincome.com is DA of 23, again not wonderful. These sites are beatable with a powerful site like mine overtime or other SEO's with skills.
I mean my tree Support Site in Grand Rapids, MI includes a DA of 23, (grandrapidstree.com).
BTW this tree service Website Makes me $2,000 a month.
When I look at who's on the Initial page for"Wealthy Affiliate Reviews" I see lot of weak websites that are easy enough to beat.
Consider searching affiliate that is real Terms like"best indoor grills" Compare Wealthy Affiliate Solo Build WordPress
You're now dealing with sites That are DA 40-80 on the very first page.
You want to build more Strong websites? You need powerful backlinks.
Lets look into that actual quick.
eliteaffiliatehacks.com has 72 Domains linking to him
So It's obvious he knows at Something about SEO that isn't educated in the WA course.
Today we need to look at the Because you can have lot of quality links and these days which will damage your site, quality of those links.
Most of his links are blog Remarks made by somebody coined"Tony Omary"
Again these No-follow links, which means its not giving you power that is rank.
He does have 30 do-follow Links which can be more than WA sites out there hence why he's at the top of the search positions.
They are still not the most Links but its only enough for him to be on page for now.
Just by analyzing the top WA Sites I can quickly see their skill levels in SEO / Search Engine Optimization.
And with these types of Backlinks I know for sure because rank for affiliate terms that many will never earn a dime with affiliate advertising will be even harder than ranking page for WA related phrase.
Sometimes the truth can hurt.
What is Great About Wealthy Affiliate?
My expectation is that folks Joined WA to get an understanding that there are opportunities and at the very least it makes you begin thinking like an entrepreneur.
There is 1 caveat, yes there Are opportunities but its just abilities can earn money on the internet.
At the day's end.
Skills Pay The Bills.
I also went through many Biz chance before I discovered a mentor who taught me legit-ass skills.
If you're a reader of the Blog, ya'al kno.
Traffic is where it is at.
This is 1 thing where WA got it right.
For a beginner, I think That using Free Traffic over Paid Traffic (FB ads) is the better way to go.
Why? Compare Wealthy Affiliate Solo Build WordPress
Because with free traffic, You're able to make consistent progress towards freedom.
Every website you're able to rank To page 1 of google has the ability to generate money for you month.
This is how you can start Creating multiple streams of income for yourself.
Retire from your 9 to 5 job Comfortably knowing that your bills are going to be taken care of by these websites that are ranked and generating income.
Now I have cash and time To start new money-making projects.
Which is what an Authority site. Basically, a website that ranks for many many key words on the internet.
I would not recommend something Such as this for a novice.
It is Only and Requires.
If you are new to making money Online, you will need something which can make you cash fast but sustainably and ethically.
So you don't get Discouraged and stop.
Quick wins can keep you Motivated, which is important to be successful at this internet shit.

The 10 Best water bottle holders for hiking
Hiking is perhaps one of the best ways to relax and have peace of mind. With scientific studies backing that up, it's also just a really good excuse to get away from the huffle and puffle of the city.
Me and my wife are avid hikers and love to go on hikes at least 5 times a month. We push ourselves each time to go further and further.

Palmer Opens First Adventurer Club in Alaska
It was a dark and stormy night. Despite the weather, children were scurrying door to door in quiet neighborhoods of Palmer, Alaska. They weren't demanding "trick or treat," however. Instead, they were braving the wind and rain to request canned food donations for Thanksgiving food baskets.
Contributions were shared with Feed the Need, a program sponsored by the Amazing Grace Academy and the Palmer Church to help area families at Thanksgiving time. "The kids were so excited about collecting that they had me running between houses," says Katie Arndt, Adventurer director.
"It was awesome," adds Jared Beaubien, a Pathfinder. "We got to meet some really nice people. One handicapped lady even invited us in and had us pick cans out of her pantry."
This year marks the start of the first-ever Adventurer Club in Alaska — the Pioneer Puddle Jumpers — as well as the resurrection of the Pioneer Peak Pathfinder Club after more than a decade hiatus.
The clubs held their induction ceremony during the church service on Nov 11. The Adventurer Club welcomed 23 new members, and the Pathfinders added seven kids to make a total of 10 members. Jeff Coleman, Palmer Church pastor, and Carl Butler, Eagle River/Wasilla District pastor, gave a joint sermonette, "Grace + Faith = Hope," celebrating the churches' partnership in youth ministry.
"I am so happy to have Adventurers and Pathfinders in our church again," said Coleman. "Restoring these ministries makes our church feel more complete."
Marta Beaubien, Palmer Church member

2002 Light Gold Leather & #79 Mesh
* Suede Sole
* Cushioned insole for shock absorption and comfort
Best practice shoe ever!
I bought these shoes for practice. They ended up looking so beautiful and are so comfortable, that use them for competition also. After all I'm 60 years old, and broke my hip a few years ago, what do I have to prove trying to wear a high heel shoe, I feel blessed to be able to still dance. I'm going to get another pair I love them so much.
Gold Mesh Practice shoes
These shoes are super comfortable. I have a baby toe bunion and these do not cause pain. the only issue that I have had is that the suede on the heel came loose after 3 months. I tried to reglue and even bought new suede to glue down. It is not holding to the plastic heel.
I have no title
Very pretty and comfy. I have plantar fasciitis and that's why I ordered these, for more support. It's easy to place my shoe insert in these shoes because they are enclosed. So far so good.
I love these shoes and have gotten a lot of complements on them. Different colored and patterned socks make them even more fun. Comfortable as well, (although I do wear inserts in all my dance shoes).
Light Gold Leather w/ Mesh
I found the shoes to be quite comfortable. The mesh gives just enough to not squeeze the toes. The mesh also keeps your feet from sweeting as much. Would buy them again.

Lucknow: Raja Ram Mohan Roy, known as the "Maker of Modern India", advocated the study of English, Science, Western Medicine and Technology. For this objective he established the Hindu College in Kolkata in 1817. His progressive views were bitterly opposed by the orthodox Hindus. However, after some years his "unorthodox" views of advocating Westernized education prevailed and helped India become modernized.
Syed Ahmad Khan, born on 17th October, 1817 (the year of the establishment of Hindu College), founded the Muslim School in 1875 with the same ideas and objectives as that of Raja Ram Mohan Roy. Sir Syed was also bitterly opposed by a section of Muslims. Both Syed and Roy, the great reformers of their times, were abused by religious bigots but undeterred, they did not surrender to them. In all his actions and beliefs of modernism, pluralism, religious unity and scientific temper, Sir Syed was a true follower of Raja Ram Mohan Roy. Both hated bigotry and intolerance and fought hard against the social and religious decadence, ignorance and superstition. Both wanted to modernize India intellectually and spiritually. Yes they are the Symbols of Indian Renaissance and Makers of Modern India.
Sir Syed Ahmed championed the cause of modern education at a time when all the Indians in general and Indian Muslims in particular, considered it a sin to get modern education through English language. It was in this context that Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru described Sir Syed as "an ardent reformer who wanted to reconcile modern scientific thought with religion by rationalistic interpretations and not by attacking the basic belief. He was anxious to push new education. He was in no way communally separatist. Repeatedly he emphasized that religious differences should have no political and national significance."(Discovery of India).
Similar views were expressed by Mr. I.K. Gujral, former Prime Minister of India, when he stated "Sir Syed's vision and his laborious efforts to meet the demands of challenging times are highly commendable. The dark post-1857 era was indeed hopeless and only men like Raja Mohan Roy and Sir Syed could penetrate through its thick veil to visualize the Nation's destinies. They rightly believed that the past had its merits and its legacies were valuable but it was the future that a society was called upon to cope with. I offer my homage to Sir Syed for his vision and courage that withstood all obstructions both from the friends and the foes". (Message to Sir Syed Scientific Society, Lucknow).
Mr. Somnath Chatterjee also made the observation that "Sir Syed wanted the College (now transformed into this University), to act as a bridge between the old and the new and the East and the West. He actively advocated the necessity of modern and scientific education. He wanted that the students of the college should preach the gospel of free enquiry, of large-hearted toleration and of pure morality. (Address to Aligarh students, 2001).
India was passing through a very difficult period after the failure of so-called 1857 Mutiny. British Rulers became more confident of their Raj over the country as they had planned meticulously to divide the Indians on the basis of their religion. But Sir Syed cautioned people, particularly Muslims, against their designs. Thus highly secular in his approach, he pleaded to Muslims to be more practical, rational and aware of the changing society. Old values of education had become outdated in his opinion. He wanted Muslims to have scientific temper and modern attitude in life and for this he asked them to learn Science and Engineering, the subjects which unfortunately became alien to them.
Undaunted and unconcerned with the obstacles he faced, Sir Syed dedicated himself towards the cause of education. His voice ultimately made a dent in the Indian social structure and Hindus and Muslims of the country helped him in large numbers to further his cause.
A Society with Scientific Temper was the Vision of Sir Syed
(Some of his Quotes)
- Sons (of MAO college later AMU)) shall go forth throughout the length and breath of the land to preach the message of free inquiry, of large hearted toleration and of pure morality.
- Acquisition knowledge of science and technology is the only solution for all the problems.
- Get rid of old and useless rituals. These rituals hinder human progress.
- Superstition cannot be the part of iman (faith).
- Islam is no barrier to scientific inquiry and social progress.
- Superstitious beliefs and the aversion to Western education are the main causes for the backwardness of the Indian Muslims.
- The first requisite for the progress of a nation is the brotherhood and unity amongst sections of the society.
- Yes the main purpose of this college (MAO) is to impart modern education to Muslims who are suffering because of lack of it but this institution is for all Hindus and Muslims alike. Both of them need education.
- We (Hindus and Muslims) eat the same crop, drink water from the same rivers and breath the same air. As a matter of fact Hindus and Muslims are the two eyes of the beautiful bride that is Hindustan. Weakness of any one of them will spoil the beauty of the bride (dulhan).
- I wish that youth of India should follow the example of young men and women of England who are religiously engaged in the hard work of industrial development of their country (Sir Syed during his stay in England from 1869 to 1871).
- Look forward, learn modern knowledge, and do not waste time in studies of old subjects of no value.
- Show your face as the follower of true religion representing character, knowledge, tolerance and piety.
- We should not (by remaining ignorant and illiterate) tarnish the image of our able elders.
- All human beings are our brother and sisters. Working for their welfare is obligatory for all.
- Remember that the words Hindu and Muslim are only meant for religious distinction: otherwise all persons who reside in this country belong to one and the same nation.
- (The writer id Retired Scientist (Deputy Director), National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow)

Using Custom URL Parameters
Custom Donations is the easiest way to create custom forms and track donor data and select directed giving areas using custom URLs.
Consider the following scenario. You want to send a special appeal to your big donors and your regular giving page isn't the perfect fit. You would like a special thank you message and suggested giving amounts that are much higher than your normal forms. You spend a few minutes and create this new form and you are ready to hit send on the email...but it is Saturday, and no one is around to put your new giving form in the website. What do you do?
With Custom Donations, since this is a modular and flexible platform, you simply use your regular giving page and tell our system to load the new form.
For example, here is a regular giving page: https://demo.customdonations.com/
And here is the same page, but with a special parameter added to the URL that allows your new form to be loaded: https://demo.customdonations.com/?cdFormKey=c0421f25-1a35-4f2c-aef5-5e05bda77fd3
With custom URL parameters, you can control many aspects of the giving forms you create. This allows you to generate custom-tailored giving links from your email system. With one dynamic email, each recipient can have a custom giving link that tracks their donor ID, selects their favorite scholarship, and pre-populates a suggested giving amount.
