What do you suppose could happen to you in 12 weeks? A lot of things could happen to you in 12 weeks but what if I told you that I discovered a way for myself to be happier, healthier, wealthier, and I have a much better life than I did before and the best part is that anyone can do this? Lifefoc.us is a website that was created by Aaron at FullTiltBlogging.com for people to communicate with one another through coaching. Even if you said that you truly enjoy your life, I am sure that there is some area that you would like to improve on.
It started off as a small chat one day and then the subject of Lifefoc.us came up. I was intrigued since I was promised a lot of things in advance and then I was told that I could get two weeks worth of brilliant information for only $4.95. I can verily get a gallon of gas for $4.95 and I figured that since it was so low that I might as well try it. Needless to say I have become a Lifefoc.us member and I am living a much better life.
Lifefoc.us comes with a lot of information including a quick start ebook that is jam packed with information that Aaron had used to start his own online income. Here are some of the things that you get with the Lifefoc.us membership:
- The fast start online business crash course
- Monthly podcast jammed packed with tips
- Success training reports
- Private members only forum
- Joint venture posting area
- Aarons personal guarantee
- Clickbank's guarantee
- Mentoring and advice from top bloggers and internet marketers
- Much, much, more
I don't care what you do in life this members only website can help you improve. The features are awesome since they even award those who have made it through a goal such as a weight lose goal, getting married goal, making money goal, and other goals.
There are so many top bloggers at this website that it isn't even funny. I was amazed to see so many known names and especially when I was given the opportunity to get in on the action since there are tons of freebies just for members. Something new is added often and it keeps us on our toes and in the game.
For $4.95 it is worth the risk even if you had to skip lunch for one day or do without your morning cup of coffee for a day or so. $4.95 is well worth it since you will be living much better through the help of a fantastic guy. If you don't like the membership only website all you have to do is cancel it and remember that even if you canceled it after the two week trial you will still get your money back since it is backed by Clickbank's personal guarantee.
Here is the guarantee that was set forth by Aaron and Clickbank for Lifefoc.us:
Guarantee One: If you cancel during the two-week trial you will never be billed again.
Guarantee Two: If you cancel and request a refund in the first 30 days, ClickBank will refund your money.
Guarantee Three: If you cancel and request a refund any time during the first 60 days, ClickBank will refund your money for both months.
Guarantee Four: If you cancel your membership at any time, ClickBank will never bill you again.
That means that you will be guaranteed on a four way street with only one crossing. I don't see why anyone would want to pass this up or at least try it out. Canceling is as easy as signing up and you still get to keep your downloads and information that you received as a member but trust me, once you see this website you are not going to want to cancel.
I highly recommend this website for newbies and old timers who want to make it further in life with the training that is necessary to succeed.
If you want to join and give it a try with the no obligation purchase of $4.95 for the first two weeks then visit Lifefoc.us and see for yourself.

My very first Mother's Day was pretty awesome. You can read about it in this post. I love that this outfit felt both comfortable and just dressy enough for the occasion. I'm loving the embroidered detailing of the top, and had been on the lookout for one like it for quite some time. Pairing it with the casual jean shorts I thought was the perfect "Hey! I'm the mom of a boy" look. It just seemed appropriate. I'm feeling so incredibly blessed that Sam chose me to be his mama! :)

No, the UI won't be affected much, because the conversion back and forth is done on the firmware side. The UI can send any value to the firmware, and it's up to the firmware to decide how to store it; similarly, when the firmware sends value to the UI it gives the UI the decoded value. [edit: yes if we are going with the value + unit approach, it will involve a UI change]

Arad (Population:172,824) is a city in Arad county, Transylvania, in the west part of Romania.
It is situated on the right bank of the river Mures, and consists of the inner town and five suburbs. Arad is a modern town and contains many handsome private and public buildings, including a cathedral. It is the seat of a Greek-Orthodox bishop, and possesses a Greek-Orthodox theological seminary and a conservatory for music.
Arad was mentioned in documents for the first time in XI century. The Mongols invasion in 1241 showed that defence positions were needed and in the second half of XIII century there were build stone fortresses at Soimos, Siria and Dezna. Turks conquered the region in 1551 and kept it until 1699 (Peace of Karlowitz). The new fortress, built between 1763 and 1783, although small, was formidable. It played a great role in the Hungarian struggle for independence in 1849. Defended by the Austrian general Berger until the end of July 1849, it was then captured by the Hungarian rebels, who made it their headquarters during the latter part of the insurrection. It was from it that Kossuth issued his famous proclamation (August 11, 1849), and it was here that he handed over the supreme military and civil power to Gorgei. The fortress was recaptured shortly after the surrender of Gorgei to the Russians at Vilgos. Here there were executed 13 rebel generals on Oct 6th 1849. These men are known collectively as the "13 Martyrs of Arad."
Arad enjoyed a great economic development. In 1834 it was declared a "free royal town", at the solemnities being present the emperor Francisc I. In 1910 it was the biggest town in Transylvania with 61,000 inhabitants.
The town of Aradu Nou, i.e. New Arad (pop. 6124), situated on the opposite bank of the Mures, is practically a suburb of Arad, to which it is connected by a bridge. The town was founded during the Turkish wars of the 17th century. The works erected by the Turks for the capture of the fortress of Arad formed the nucleus of the new town.

Northern Switchgear has been a key partner in the regeneration of the iconic Spanish City in Whitley Bay.
Commissioned by North Tyneside Council and working alongside national construction company Robertson, Newcastle architects ADP and engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald, the project forms the centrepiece of the £36M plans for the regeneration of Whitley Bay.
Northern Switchgear's role in the project was to create an appropriate and reliable electrical supply and control system for the entire redevelopment and implement industrial switchgear to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment, to ensure that it could be operated and maintained both safely and efficiently.
Working within the early 20th Century Grade II listed building posed a significant challenge for the switchgear project. The space designated to house the electrical switch room was too small for the switchgear requirements.
Northern Switchgear reviewed the design and, in consultation with both the client and engineering consultants, adapted the industrial switchgear to meet the requirements of the project and the specifications of the building. By providing an L-shaped, low voltage switchboard, they were able to provide a safe and appropriate system to power the new development safely and efficiently.
Northern Switchgear's role in the project has now been successfully completed, and the wider regeneration project is due for completion imminently.
Northern Switchgear's approach to providing full service energy management solutions was invaluable in this project. They were able to design a bespoke electrical supply and control system, working around the limitations of the Grade II listed building, yet still delivering on time and to budget.

Chances are you haven't heard of this South African game reserve because it's fairly new. But it's putting in the work to get the two Cs – conservation and community – right. Its landscapes and lodges are pretty eye-catching too. Find out why to visit Babanango Game Reserve in KZN.
Imagine what it must have been like in 1898 when Paul Kruger first proclaimed a part of what is today the world-renowned Kruger National Park; back when it was in its early days, with lots of development still ahead.
That's what it's like today to visit the Babanango Game Reserve between Ulundi and Vryheid in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Established in 2018, it's still in the development phase but will eventually be a 22 000ha Big 5 wildlife reserve. Leopard occurs naturally whereas rhino and buffalo have been reintroduced and plans are afoot to reintroduce lions and elephants by 2022.
On your game drives you'll see rhino, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest and antelope like impala and nyala. There are more than 280 bird species, including Verreaux's and crowned eagle, blue crane and narina trogon, and over 30 butterfly species like the dark-webbed ringlet, Millar's haritail and mocker bronze.
Lodges at Babanango Game Reserve
We stayed at two of the lodges at Babanango Game Reserve and heard that a five-star luxury lodge to be called Traveller's Camp is waiting in the wings.
Babanango Valley Lodge
In the south of the reserve, Babanango Valley Lodge is set in an indigenous garden filled with aloes, succulents and grasses. The lodge overlooks the Nsubeni River valley with its striking granite hills, quartzite ridges and sandstone cliffs.
Zulu Rock
The views at Zulu Rock in the north of the reserve take centre stage. They will blow you away, especially from the deck of the main lodge looking out towards the White Umfolozi River that snakes its way through the valley below. Even the swimming pool enjoys glorious views out over the reserve.
Things to do at Babanango Game Reserve
Until lions and elephants are reintroduced to make up the Big 5, wildlife may not be the sole reason to visit Babanango Game Reserve. But already the scenery, the aloes, the birds and the butterflies – as well as the lodges with their warm, friendly staff – are draw cards. Add to that a fistful of experiences and turn your stay into an action-packed getaway.
1. Don't miss a guided game drive, a chance to get close to nature and admire the changing landscape. We loved seeing zebras and giraffes and antelope, finding rhino tracks and following them till we found these ancient creatures. What a thrill to be able to drive offroad to get closer to them, the heady smell of wild mint in the air, the call of the greater honeyguide in the distance. Find a herd of wildebeest frolicking in the early morning light, learn about the golden orb spider and its super-strong web. See ostriches strut among the aloes on a mountain top, watch ground hornbills search for food, purple-crested turacos brighten the bush with their vivid colours. Admire red ivory, sweet thorn and mountain cabbage trees, discover the importance of the buffalo thorn in Zulu culture. One game drive a day is included in the room rate.
3. Saddle up and go horse riding across the African veld, a wonderful way to experience the wilderness here. An exciting multi-day horse safari should be introduced soon.
4. Tour an old mine from the early 1900s with a guide at Babanango Valley Lodge. Learn about the history of the mine, how geologist Paul Pollitzer thought there was gold, only to discover it was fool's gold or iron pyrite. Hear how the pyrite was extracted and crawl into one of the tunnels to see part of a mine shaft too. Sadly, the mine was unsuccessful. When Pollitzer couldn't extract enough pyrite to pay back his investors, he killed himself and you can see his tombstone near the mine.
6. Don't forget to look up at night to enjoy some stargazing. The night skies are wide and dark and the stars bright. If you'd like to learn more about the constellations and planets mention it to your guide on the late afternoon drive, which comes back to the lodge after dark.
7. Go on a full-day battlefields tour. The reserve is in a historically significant area of Zululand, with the battlefields of Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift and Blood River in reach. Take a tour with a guide who will fill you in on the area's rich and beleaguered history.
Babanango Game Reserve is making every effort to bring benefit to the local communities, three of which own land that forms part of the reserve. Some 14 000ha was a land claim that's now part of a trust, and two other communities have about 1000ha each.
Apart from the income these communities are already getting from the lease of their land, the reserve has brought jobs to an area of low employment. 'There are currently 152 permanent members of staff in the reserve and the lodges,' says Babanango Reserve manager Musa Mbatha. 'About 75% of them are from these communities and many have never worked before so they have been – and are still being – trained.'
As a local himself, Mbatha is determined that things must be done right, that upfront engagement with community leaders is vital for everything to work smoothly and successfully.
Babanango also helps other communities living near the reserve, engaging in community upliftment projects through the African Habitat Conservancy Foundation. Think, for instance, of sinking 500 boreholes, furthering education and training, supplying agricultural and veterinary services, and helping to develop community businesses that can be suppliers of products and services to the reserve and lodges.
The reserve has also assured neighbouring cattle, goat and crop farmers that they'll be compensated for the deaths of animals or damage to crops as a result of introduced animals like lions or elephants breaching the fence. Since human-wildlife conflict is a thorny issue in areas surrounding reserves around Africa, it's good to see Babanango taking a proactive stance.
There's excitement in seeing the formation of a wildlife reserve in its early stages, with so many opportunities for both good conservation and uplifting local communities. Visit Babanango Game Reserve now, then return in three to five years. I hope you'll be surprised at the changes, see how preserving our natural heritage and powering a community-based economy can both succeed when they work hand in hand.

Those using VPS hosting services may not realize how much they are impacting the environment in the long run. Computers have been used in business for many years, and unlike cars and high emission factories, computers are never thought of as a contribution to the damage of the environment and global warming. The fact is, web hosting companies are responsible for up to 65% of the carbon emissions produced by IT companies every year, and choosing a green hosting company is one of the better ways to protect the environment and do more about going green in business.
It may be difficult link to imagine, but green hosting basically refers to hosting companies that use methods to reduce their carbon footprint and use alternative fuel sources that have less of an impact on the world around them. Renewable fuel sources are becoming more and more popular amongst hosting companies, with many using wind farms and solar power as their main source of energy. These types of renewable fuel sources can reduce enough power to adequately cover the needs of even the largest hosting sites. The key to getting a good green hosting service is to choose one with a decent backup plan, including backup fuel generators and regular data backups.
Some of the most popular hosting sites that are certified green, work by taking power from the grid initially to ensure uptime reliability, and then replace it with renewable energy. Some even replace it with more renewable energy than they take from the grid in a bid to improve the environment even more. Users of these hosting sites can then proudly display a logo on their website to let their customers know that they are using renewable energy sources to power their websites. This can actually boost sales, as many clients are getting more and more concerned about sustainable energy and the impact of their business on the environment.
Green hosting companies are setting an example to other businesses in the IT industry. In addition to powering their servers with renewable energy sources, many companies also look at ways that they can reduce the need to cool their servers with as much energy as before, and some even look at their practices within the office and include recycling, automatic lighting, working from home and even reducing the amount of plastic and Styrofoam that is often used during mealtimes, leaving no stone unturned in order to be greener.

With over 12 years of experience, myhosting.com provides a full suite of services from shared web hosting, to Hosted Exchange Email and VPS Hosting services for SMBs and businesses of any size.

The Voice and Influence Partnership event Black Lives Matter – reforming the Norm is now available for catch up on our YouTube channel.
Held as part of Black History Month the event was hosted by Rachel de Garang from the Voice and Influence Partnership. Rachel was joined by two fantastic guest speakers Elysse Lawrence and Donnell Asare with Donnell performing his powerful new poem 'Calabash', written especially for the event. The panel discussion was followed by a lively and interesting Q&A session.
The event is BSL interpreted and subtitles are available by choosing the option to display captions/subtitles on YouTube.
Some of the issues discussed were the experience of black people during the Black Lives Matter (BLM) events including the impact and how they managed it, reflections on conversations held with black and white friends and acknowledgement that not all members of the black community necessarily hold the same opinion.
The panel members also talked about how they dealt with offensive comments and channelled their anger, the pulling down of the Edward Colston statue; what the term 'white privilege' meant and whether the use of terms such as 'people of colour' allowed the status quo to continue.

Advance Local is a subsidiary of Advance Publications and is one of the largest media companies in the USA. It has eleven local news websites and more than 22 core newspaper publications, with an audience of over 50 million monthly unique visits online. Advance Local also offers a wide variety of printing services, publishing a total of over 180 publications, including their core products and those of other commercial print clients.
The Need
Because of continued, significant decline in print, Advance Local has been investing in cost-saving prepress and production strategies over the past few years. However, all printing locations and markets were still operating independently using local hardware, different systems and workflows, resulting in higher maintenance and labor cost.
The Solution
Advance Local decided to centralize and optimize the workflows by introducing enterprise-wide standards for all its locations.
The installation of ppi Media's Digital Assembly Line started in 2018. The eight Advance Local print sites are now managed by a cloud (AWS) based centralized EPWS (Enterprise Publishing Workflow System). There are also four 3rd party print sites that are set up to receive completed ppi-created pages. The process includes edition planning, imposition schemes, preflight validation, ink presets and optimization, and proofing solutions in combination with a highly automated state of the art output management system across the enterprise.
The system is designed to manage commercial products as well as newspaper production and to support local workflow requirements.
The system is deployed across two AWS regions, providing for high availability of services and disaster preparedness.
ppi Media's Enterprise Publishing Workflow System enables publishers:
- to manage more volume with smaller, cross-trained teams, enterprise-wide.
- to remove local hardware and software systems.
- to reduce maintenance and support contract costs.
- to create a first-needed, first-out workflow for all 12 print sites.
- have its system configuration and support carried out by a single tech team, as well as end-to-end workflow specialists, improving service levels, communication, and cutting down on operating costs.
"For us, the ppi Media system delivered a complete end-to-end workflow that has met our needs by allowing us to consolidate our workflows, improve our business continuity, and increase our overall efficiency and productivity." – Advance Local Prepress and Technology Leadership.

Digging by way of Old InformationThe Pioneer Venus Multiprobe knowledge weren't straightforward to decipher. At first, Mogul's workforce solely had some tables in a few outdated publications. NASA launched extra archival knowledge from the mission, however Mogul stated there was little contextual info, equivalent to ground-based take a look at knowledge from the instrument.The workforce sought the recommendation of Richard Hodges, an authentic mission workforce member who helped them see the "data within the data," Mogul tells The Planetary Society. He added: "It was an honor and a rewarding experience to work with him."The 1978 LNMS instrument workforce targeted on the commonest chemical substances they anticipated to discover at Venus."The focus on the minor and trace [chemical] species was minimal—that's what we realized after looking at the archival data and the associated publications," Mogul stated. "We immediately found signals in data that other publications hadn't discussed or mentioned. That was all we needed for motivation to keep going."Their evaluation ultimately discovered that Venus' center clouds harbor a phosphorus-bearing gasoline, with phosphine being the perfect match for the info."No other phosphorus chemicals fit the data as well as phosphine, especially when considering the mild temperatures and pressures in the middle clouds, where many phosphorus species would not be gases," stated Mogul in a press launch.The knowledge additionally level to "redox disequilibria," that means some elements of Venus' ambiance are out of steadiness. This signifies an lively chemical course of probably linked to life could also be taking place, and helps the notion that Venus' clouds might present a protected harbor for microorganisms.In addition to phosphine, Mogul's workforce discovered hydrogen sulfide, nitrous acid, nitric acid, hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, ethane, and probably ammonia and chlorous acid. Some of those chemical substances may be linked to organic processes.While this new take a look at outdated knowledge presents thrilling proof, Mogul acknowledges that the talk is much from over. However, this systematic back-and-forth permits the general public to watch the scientific course of play out in real-time."There are always mysteries to be solved and I think what we just showed that sometimes old data can reveal new stories," Mogul stated. "This is all a process, and moving forward is what science is all about."

Review: New Year's Evil (1980)
Shining like the light that hits the knife at the stroke of midnight
Quiet but so bright, my heartbeat swells, oh can't you tell I'm in a fever
Tell me will it be sweet New Year's Eve or do I fear a New Year's Evil?
It's New Year's Eve and Diane Sullivan (Roz Kelly, best remembered as Fonzie's girlfriend Pinky Tuscadero on Happy Days) is a popular rock DJ who is hosting a televised countdown party to ring in midnight for each of the country's four time zones. When a mysterious caller phones into the event and tells her that he's going to kill someone she knows every time the clock strikes twelve, she's shaken, but not yet convinced. Then the murders begin, and as midnight approaches in Los Angeles, she discovers that she's this hunter's ultimate prey.
In the wake of 1978's Halloween, a spate of similar holiday-themed horror movies hit screens in an attempt to capitalize on John Carpenter's creation. Golan and Globus--two enterprising Israeli film producers who were expanding Roger Corman's exploitation playbook into ambitious blockbuster success--were quick to capitalize on any trend and the new slasher sub-genre was a prime target. Associate producer Christopher Pearce (Schizoid, X-Ray) was tasked with making this movie a reality and with director Emmett Alston (Nine Deaths of the Ninja) at the helm, shooting was completed on New Year's Evil in just 18 days. The entire production schedule was only three weeks long.
The movie also does something fairly unusual for the slasher cycle, which is to reveal the killer almost immediately. Our murderer, played with menace by Kip Niven (Magnum Force, Earthquake), does wear a series of disguises and a mask for parts of the film, but we see his face from the beginning. But a face is not an identity, and finding out his motivation for slaughter is part of the story.
A huge part of the appeal of New Year's Evil is the fact that it is firmly grounded in the 1980 Los Angeles rock music scene where The Sunset Strip was quickly turning into the neon playground of androgynous vampires clad in makeup and leather. Much of the music is provided by a rock band called Shadow, a Seattle-based outfit that had formed in 1973. They play a strange mix of early glam metal and blues here, and the title song is performed no less than three times throughout the movie. Not coincidentally, The Cannon Group issued this title track as a 45rpm record single with another Shadow song from the movie, "Simon Bar Sinister" as the B-side, and this single was sent to radio stations across America in an attempt to make it a hit. Several more songs are contributed by a band called Made In Japan, and the film's closing credits promise that the full soundtrack is available on records and tapes, though it never actually made it to store shelves. Thankfully for those that can't get enough of the rock band Shadow, the title song was released digitally in 2020.
New Year's Evil is ultimately forgettable, but that's okay. There's something to be said for undemanding entertainment, and as a Happy Days fan, it's great to see tough New-Yorker Roz Kelly getting top billing here. By the end of 1983, the actress was out of the entertainment business (but not the headlines). The movie is enjoyable as a programmer, and at less than 90 minutes, it's fast-paced and to-the-point (pun intended). The setting serves as an interesting time capsule and its unique audio-visual charm makes this one a win for slasher fans.

It goes without saying that one of the essential ways to connect with audiences is through localization. However, when targeting the international market, the content and message must be easily understood by the audience in their specific region.
It is important to build trust and ensure their feeling of belonging by reflecting on their customs, culture, and languages. This will be possible with localization.
Why localize your company's website?
Localization can extend geographical reach. Most business owners believe that using English for their marketing strategies is enough to drive more traffic to their website. This is not true, especially when targeting the global market. According to Babbel, there are only about 20% (1.35 billion) of people who are fluent English speakers in the world and a marketer will lose the opportunity to reach the remaining 80% without localization.
By adjusting web design and content through localization, translation tools are customizing the user's experience on the website. Adapting to customer's language, preferences, and cultures means that they need to change some parts of formats, colors, artworks, and contents to make them more relatable and appealing for target audiences.
While there are only 11 out of 80 B2B companies with localized websites, most of the top-performing competitors in the global market are part of them. This is because user experience is highly important when developing a website and by ignoring these localization factors, you might lose the interest of your target audience.
Despite the investments in tools and translators, it is possible to earn a great return on investment when localizing websites. It will be easier to extend the brand's reach to a larger number of potential customers and increase traffic. In fact, 74% of global marketers believe that localization is important to increase revenue according to the University of Strasbourg. This is much more efficient than offering discounts, giveaways, or reducing profit margins just to earn more.
Moreover, it can improve online presence and drive more search results. By localizing content, the target audience will find the website more helpful and understandable as it is translated to their language. It will also be easier to optimize the website by localizing keywords, metadata, and hreflang tags which will improve its search results drastically.
If you are still new to website localization, this might not be an easy task for you. However, with enough planning, research, and help from reliable translators, this can be a piece of cake. There are various artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can help make your tasks easier with automation and machine learning.
How to apply localization to businesses
Localization is a time-consuming and complicated process of translating and adapting content and marketing strategies to extend target audiences. It is not a literal, word for word translation of text – it requires the adaptation to the culture of a specific location. There are also some steps that marketers need to follow in order to make it successful.
First, identify their target audience. This is one of the most essential steps in localization. Research the highest numbers of the company's sales in other countries to know which locations on which to focus. Also, check your competitors' websites and social media accounts to see their usual followers and customers as a reference.
Second, adopt SEO strategies when localizing websites. People think that as long as the website is translated and adapted to the cultures of the target locations, it will be enough. This is not true. For example, Americans can tell when a website's text is clearly written by a non-native English speaker. However, it is also important to apply some SEO strategies and adapt them to certain geographical locations.
You can search for top ranking keywords for a specific location. If you are targeting France, make sure that you set the location of your keyword research tools to that location before proceeding. However, not because a keyword is great for a region means that the same will apply to its direct translation. For example, if you search "how to feed a cat" in the US server, this would be high ranking and with a great competition. However, if you search for its direct translation in French, the outcome will not be as great.
Moreover, hiring a reliable translator is a crucial part of the process. If you're a business looking to expand internationally, there are many language service providers. One of these is Tomedes translation company. Your website can be translated in languages that can be easily understood by audiences in their languages. Tomedes has written about their extensive localization strategy here.
Localization at Tomedes undergoes various levels of processes, including linguistic review and quality assurance, and is performed by translators who are knowledgeable both about your industry and your target languages.
The quality of translations plays a great role in localization. Thus, when localizing a website, it would be best to hire reliable translators that could provide a great service. There are also some translation agencies that offer expertise and experience in different languages and niches needed.
What tools can you use for localization?
Thanks to decades of growth in international business dealings, there are already many tools that offer the features that companies may need. Even if it may take time to learn and utilize their tools and functions, investing effort in using them will result in a larger return on investment.
Here are some of the all-in-one localization tools to consider:
Lokalise prioritizes fast delivery of localized materials for businesses. It features collaborative translation with process automation for a fast turnaround and in-context editing for quality assurance.
When looking for a localization tool that is simple to use yet promises great functionality, consider using Smartcat. It combines automation technologies with communication expertise to build a free tool that everyone can use.
This translation tool offers a management system that lets its users customize the features that they need to make the localization process more efficient.
The best feature of Phrase is its flexibility to all software localization processes that works well for localization teams working in different tasks.
This is another flexible tool that is applicable for websites, apps, games, and other softwares that need localization. It also works well for team collaboration or individual projects.
There are still other all-in-one and independent software tools that were not mentioned.
Localization can be beneficial for global marketing if done right. It helps in extending the company's reach and increasing sales. The only important thing is to consider the target markets and locations when localizing. Moreover, it is best to use all possible resources and automation tools that can make the process more efficient.

11 Oct A pant for every body type: which one to choose?
Enhancing your figure is never easy, but thanks to a few simple tricks you will realize that choosing the most suitable garment for your physicality is not that difficult.
Today we are talking about trousers, a symbol of female empowerment.
Some more and some less, today we are all used to having at least one pair of trousers in the wardrobe, but how to orient yourself in the infinite world of its different shapes?
To choose the perfect trousers you must first be aware of your physicality, for example: a woman with particularly accentuated hips is more likely to wear high-waisted trousers better than low-waisted ones. In fact, to avoid further highlighting the pelvis, the ideal is to show off the upper part of the body so as to accentuate the smaller shoulders.
The one just described is the classic pear shape, characterized by wide hips and narrow shoulders.
Let's now see the other bodyshapes:
For a triangular body with large shoulders and narrow hips, it will be more appropriate to focus attention downwards with low-waisted jeans and light colors. Even trousers with various patterns are perfect for the occasion!
As for the pear-shaped body, the hourglass one also calls high-waisted trousers: yes to the mom fit model, but also to the skinny if you prefer it.
For the apple-shaped body with large breasts you can opt for palazzo pants. They are very trendy, and can have an elegant twist, but also sporty depending on the combination chosen.
Lastly, the rectangle body: this does not present particular disproportions between the upper and lower part, which is why modern patterns and above all the asymmetrical cuts that create movement are excellent.
In which of the aforementioned physicality did you find yourself? Did you already use these simple tips?

All You Can Eat Edible Packaging
September 09, 2014
(photo from animalfreegrub.com)
What if we could solve two of the world's biggest issues — food shortages and excess waste — at the same time? Well, it could work if we just start eating our packaging. Now before you take a bite out of a roll of bubble wrap, you might want to keep reading.
For the past several years, designers and researchers have been developing edible food containers, and some of their work is finally ready for public consumption.
There's an innovative new yogurt from WikiFood that has a thin membrane around it that acts as a natural container. Now "membrane" might be the least appetizing word imaginable, but it's really just a shell made out of fruits or vegetables. WikiFoods plans to use a similar approach packaging other softer foods like ice cream and mousse.
Tomorrow's Machine, a Swedish design group, is taking a different approach. They've created three products so far — basmati rice, a fruit smoothie and olive oil — in which the packaging becomes part of the food.
Like most major innovations, edible packaging is still very expensive, and inventors are still a ways off from having this ready for many foods on a large scale. (Even the edible yogurt balls still come in traditional carton, which WikiFoods says is in "intermediate step".)
Reducing the amount of plastic in our food packaging means less waste, greater sustainability and less risk of plastic agents getting into your food. Better yet, this means that we're one step closer to having Willy Wonka's edible everything and finally getting a Chocolate River.
In the meantime, you're more than welcome to eat paper and bubble wrap, but you might want to put a lot of sugar on it first.
There are biodegradable offerings that are cost effective for your packaging. Contact us to discuss options. You will not eat your profits and the Earth will thank you as well.

The Dewitts™ SPAL Wiring Kit is a simple relay harness that comes with all of DeWitts™ radiator and fan combinations. *image from video* For example, above we have a dual radiator fan combination. It comes with two wiring harnesses with the two relay kits. The relay kit has four wires coming out of it. *Closeup from Video* We have our hot and our ground wires. We also have two smaller wires that are coming out. The red wire goes to an ignition source and the gray wire goes to the temperature sensor. In all Dewitts™ radiator and fan combinations, we put the temperature sensor right in the radiator. We put it right under the inlet tube so hot water triggers the fans to turn on at a certain temperature. We do this so you don't have to find a spot in the motor to put your temperature sensor. It's a good spot for a good accurate reading.
We get a lot of questions on the ignition source. The relay needs an ignition source so we want to run that small wire to something that is off when the car is off. When the key is in the off position, we don't want your fans to continue to run after you shut the car off. A good example is something like a windshield wiper motor. A good way to troubleshoot the whole system is by using the ground wire. Take the wire that runs right off the temperature sensor and touch it to your radiator. If your radiator is grounded out properly, then your fans will come right on.

At lunchtime on Monday I was back in Aker Brygge, having lunch with Mark at Espresso House, home of the most bizarre toilet graffiti I've ever seen. Obviously someone is a fan of The Critic, or early period Saturday Night Live.
After Mark and I went our separate ways, I pondered how to spend my final few hours in Oslo. I had to catch a train to the airport just after 5pm, so time was short.
While researching Bygdøy, I'd found that there was a beach there. The weather was still warm and sunny, so I decided to head back there. I got on another Number 30 bus, this time staying aboard right to the last stop at Huk.
Alighting at the bus stop, I walked down a short path and soon came to the shoreline. Having a beach just thirty minutes away from the city centre would be good enough in any event, but Huk wins bonus points for being this pretty:-
There were two ways I could have gone at this point. To the left, the standard park and beach. To the right, a footpath led off, and a sign warned that ahead was the "naturist" area.
I hesitated for a moment, but then took the right path. It's something to tick off the bucket list, I reasoned.
The naturist section was split into two sections: a grassy area, and a sandy beach. There was also a small pier leading off into the water for the benefit of anyone who wanted to go swimming.
A naked man walked past in the opposite direction. He sauntered up to the kiosk to buy a drink. The man behind the counter nonchalantly served him. I wonder how long you would have to work in a place filled with naked people before the novelty wore off entirely?
There were people of all shapes and sizes on display. Single people, couples, a family with kids, all mingled au naturel on the sand. Some were paddling in the water, others were reading or chatting, most just lay down in the sunshine. Don't stare, I told myself.
I've always wondered how I would react in such a situation. Would I actually join in, or would I find a way to be very English and awkward about it? Peer pressure did the trick. I quickly realised that, as the only person on a nudist beach wearing clothes, I was the weird one. And with that, I hooked a thumb into the waistband of my underpants, and off they came.
Did I go completely naked? Not quite. I kept my watch on.
I have a lot of hangups about my body. Too much food and not enough exercise over the years have left it a bit of a flabby mess. Beforehand, I had worried there may be a horrified reaction to my nakedness. My fears proved unfounded. Nobody stopped and pointed, no-one ran away screaming, no-one called the police or made mocking comments (unless it was in Norwegian).
I'd come unprepared. Everyone else was spread out on towels. I had to make do with a makeshift blanket made from my jacket. I rolled up my T-shirt into a pillow, and settled down. The sun beat down, shining onto parts of my body that had never before been exposed to ultraviolet radiation. A light breeze caressed my skin.
The water, glistening in the sunshine, looked pretty inviting, but I resisted the temptation to skinny-dip. I was paranoid about a casual thief running off with my things while I was in the water. Losing all my clothes, hours before I was due to fly home, was not a scenario I was keen on. I know Ryanair like their customers to travel light, but that's too much. I contented myself with lying in the sun.
The sun disappeared behind clouds briefly, but then reappeared just as intense as ever. I thought of the factor 50 suncream which I had unwisely packed in my suitcase rather than bringing with me. I kept turning myself like a rotisserie chicken, to ensure I was evenly cooked on all sides.
I am not really a sunbather. After a few minutes my attention starts to wander, and I start to think that I could be doing something more useful instead. This time, however, I felt able to switch off and totally relax. I closed my eyes and allowed myself a moment of tranquility.
Later that day I would experience a stressful journey home. A crowded train where I had to sit in a tip-up seat by the doors. My fellow aeroplane passengers having to be told off by the cabin crew for talking during the safety briefing. A baby that cried for the entire duration of the flight. The couple next to me stinking out the plane with a Pepperami. Being locked in the baggage claim area of Liverpool Airport because someone had tried to go the wrong way through a one-way door.
To help me get through all that, I would cast my mind back to the relaxing hour or so spent lazing on the beach. Then, I would think back further, to new friends made, an amazing pride celebration, reindeer cakes and the sights and sounds of an exciting, vibrant city. I hope you've enjoyed reading about my adventures. 🙂

Spring time bass fishing is your best opportunity to land a true lunker. It's a great time of the year for us bass fanatics. The weather is warming up and the bass fishing is just about to be on fire.
It's the time of year that many anglers can't wait for. Spring time bass fishing is the unofficial start to the fishing season and it is well worth the wait. Depending on what part of the country you're at will dictate what the bass are doing.
Here are some things to keep in mind as you head out to do some spring bass fishing.
First, before the spawn (also known as prespawn bass fishing), the bass will start moving from deep winter areas and stage on structure right outside the shallow areas where they will eventually spawn. Start by checking the points right outside of coves and other flat, shallow rocky areas. Especially if there is structure near by such as creek beds, and humps. Watch for any kind or breaks in the structure. Drops near potential spawning grounds can hold some lunkers waiting to strike.
When ready for the spawn, spring time bass fishing will transition to those shallows where the bass go to do their thing. Make sure you have a good pair of polarized sunglasses and start doing some sight fishing. This is the time that you can actually see bass on the beds and toss a lure right at them.
Keep in mind that spawning bass aren't necessarily looking to feed at this point. Their mind is on one thing and one thing only. You need to present your bait as an intruder who threatens their nest. This is where the strikes will come from. Aggravated bass looking to strike anything that gets in their way.
During the pre-spawn when the bass are staging just outside the spawning area you can use pretty much any of the lures you are confident with. Swimbaits, crankbaits, jigs and soft plastics all have a chance of working spring bass fishing.
I would recommend starting with a fast moving lure, like a lipless crankbait to see if something hits quickly. Then switch over to your slower presentations like a jig or dropshot senko style worm
Once the spring bass are on the beds your soft plastics are the ticket. A weightless Texas rigged lizard or fluke is a popular choice. Or maybe a wacky rigged senko. Any of these should provoke a strike from a protective bass looking to keep intruders away.

Abstract The work of corporate finance professionals is information-intensive, despite the fact that the practices and motivations of their information preferences have been researched very little. The present study investigates perceived success and how it is related to corporate finance professionals' information source use behavior based on a Web survey of 92 Finnish corporate finance professionals. The principal finding of the statistical analysis of the data is that perceptions of work success and specific types of information sources contributing to the success are related. The correlations are complex, and very different types of information sources contribute to individual types of success, and vice versa. The findings indicate that information sources function as measures of success and serve an instrumental purpose. Besides functional relations, the correlation of the variables suggests more comprehensive success and information source use related dependencies and preferences. The findings imply that by studying existing perceptions of success, it is possible to make inferences about preferred information sources. The study also suggests that both personal and organizational perceptions of success should be taken into account when planning information services and information literacy education for corporate finance professionals to increase their effectiveness and relevance for the professionals.

Online casino and sports betting operator Rush Street Interactive (RSI) announced today an expansion of its products and services in West Virginia via the launch of its BetRivers online sportsbook.
'High-Quality Products and Responsive Customer Service'
The addition of the BetRivers online sportsbook strengthens further RSI's presence in West Virginia building on its online BetRivers casino operated in partnership with Century Casinos' Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort since April last year.
Commenting on the announcement, RSI's chief executive officer Richard Schwartz outlined the company's expectations that residents of Mountain State would receive the BetRivers sportsbook with excitement due to their familiarity with the BetRivers brand due to its "high-quality products and responsive customer service."
"We are pleased that our integrated app will provide one convenient location for players in West Virginia to switch effortlessly between the casino and sportsbook using phones, tablets and computers to experience all that we have to offer, from spreads, money lines, parlays, single game parlays, and player props to slots, tables games, and live dealer experiences."
Richard Schwartz, CEO, RSI
Following the launch of the BetRivers sportsbook, sports fans across the state can utilize the apps on iOS and Android, as well as the company's website, to quickly and securely place bets on their favorite team and players, while players at BetRivers online casino can utilize their customer wallet for betting purposes.
Despite its late launch in West Virginia, the BetRivers brand managed to capture a share in the low teens of the state's online casino market, according to the West Virginia Lottery Commission and some internal company estimates.
RSI's Other Recent Developments
In February, the Chicago-based gaming company announced an agreement with Penn National Gaming that secured market access for its BetRivers online casino offering in Ohio, Maryland and Missouri for up to 20 years.
"Our experience in other markets has validated that online sportsbook players also enjoy the full services of our online casinos, especially the table games. Along with offering a more enjoyable experience through our platform, at RSI we are constantly striving to provide a more trusted betting experience by emphasizing usability, responsibility, and transparency."
Richard Schwartz, CEO, RSI
Outside of the US, RSI received its iGaming operator license in Ontario, Canada, in March – just in time for the official market launch on April 4, and joined the likes of 888, PointsBet, and theScoreBet, among others.
Also in March, RSI officially stated its interest in online poker via the acquisition of Run It Once (RIO) poker brand owned by poker pro Phil Galfond for $5.8 million. The acquisition paved the way for a fourth major online poker operator to appear and challenge the likes of PokerStars, World Series of Poker (WSOP) and BetMGM Poker.

The Church of Nowhere to Go
It's Sunday morning, and this one feels especially lonely.
I've always regarded November and March as the loneliest months. Not the unloveliest—that honor is reserved for February—but the loneliest. November bombards you with the myth of the nuclear family, but also is rife with mystery and magic. March, my mind, is nearly charmless. Taxes loom, chickens come home to roost, snow storms–and with none of that December magic.
This year March is especially intolerable. The weather is starting to shift, and for that I'm grateful, very grateful. The sun is brighter, the days are longer, there's a sudden promise in the air. But that promise is painful.
Maybe because half the people I know are vaccinated while I am not. Maybe because my back is too wonky for me to drive very far. Maybe because the cold in March is harder to bear. Right now everything is on the horizon—spring, shots, opportunities, freedom— and it still doesn't feel guaranteed that horizon will become a Now. I want somewhere to go, someone to hold, someone with whom to sit unmasked on a soft scratchy couch, someone to jostle without consequence on a gloriously crowded street.
It's Sunday morning, and this one feels especially lonely.
I Wish You Enough
Something occurred to me today as I strode home from the greenmarket with my produce and a bunch of glorious sunflowers that the vendor had slipped into my bag as a surprise.
"This might be enough."
To be sure, "enough" is a relative term. As I write this, I still don't have enough in my accounts to cover my expenses a few months out nor do I have a steady income flow. In this way, I am in step with many many Americans, as well as people across the world.
My therapist says that I have a tendency to focus on the bright side of matters in a way that borders on dissociative, a fact that may surprise those who read my last post.
Trust me when I say it takes a lot for me to acknowledge when things aren't working well. In fact, it's a muscle I'm developing in real time. I used to fear disappearing into the abyss if I recognized its existence. But I've come to accept we can only solve a problem when we can acknowledge it.
That said, having transcended so many hard times in my life has granted me an insouciance I never experienced as a younger woman. Yes, I am still broke as I write this, but over the last few days so many have shared sweet solidarity and unexpected donations that, for this week at least, I have fresh, healthy food to eat and, for this month at least, Grace and I have a place to live in a city I love.

By Thomas Perry, The Daily Press (Timmins)
TIMMINS – With the Timmins Rock set to open their main training camp on Monday and the team's first home exhibition game just over a week away, preparations for the 2015-16 NOJHL season are in high gear.
While coach and general manager Paul Gagne is busy finalizing his list of players who will take to the ice at the McIntyre Arena Monday night, there is even more activity off the ice.
Brenda Torresan, billet co-ordinator for the Rock, is busy ensuring all of the players arriving for the start of the main training camp will have a place to stay.
"With it being summertime in the City of Timmins, it has been a bit on the slow side finding billets," she said.
"But the billets we have been able to find are very excited and some of the boys, the ones who have signed already, have already moved in and they are really enjoying themselves."
Torresan will not know for sure how many more billet homes will be required until the players begin to arrive for Monday's camp this weekend.
"Right now, we need three more homes, but it will all depend on how many more out-of-town players arrive, who may end up getting signed," she said.
Torresan noted the team is even looking for families to help out on a short-term basis if they are not comfortable committing to acting as full-time billets.
"We are interested even if they are just willing to do it on a part-time basis until full-time billets can be found," she said.
The Rock currently have 11 players billeted out with local families, with defenceman Kealey Cummings' family being the only return billets from last season.
"She (Kealey's mom) is taking three players again this year," Torresan said.
So, just what is required to become a billet family?
"First and foremost, we hope the billets will open their doors to these young players as family members, just like they were members of their own family, to support them in their games, in their schooling and their lives, etc.," Torresan said.
"We like to put two players together in a home, but that's not always how it works out. Usually players who are put individually into a home have their own vehicles for transportation. When we put two players together, at least one of them does.
"That takes the responsibility off of the billet family for the transportation part of it, for going to school or to the rink and back and fourth, because that can be quite hectic.
"A lot of the players will be going to Northern College, to the local high schools, to Collège Boréal or to Université de Hearst."
Prospective billets do not have to have children around the same age as the Rock players, or any kids for that matter.
"We have some billet families who have younger kids, who are involved in minor hockey, which is really, really good, and we have some other families who have no children of their own but are involved in hockey in our community and really enjoy Junior 'A' hockey," Torresan said.
"They will take on the role of the parent, even though they don't have any children of their own at home anymore.
"And we actually have single people in the community who are also looking forward to supporting the players and giving them a hand while they are here.
"It is really wide open."
All of the families taking part in the billet program are screened in advance.
"They have forms they have to fill out and they have to go through a police check to make sure that everything is OK," Torresan said.
Other requirements include ensuring the players have individual bedrooms, although they can have two beds in a room where they can accommodate two players.
"The players, by that age, are quite responsible and they can do their own laundry, help to make their own meals and clean up around the house, just like if they were in their own homes," Torresan said.
"And there are curfews. Coach Gagne is pretty strict on his curfews. He will be calling, not right away because not everybody is in their home but once they get settled it will happen."
Providing a home-away-from home for these young players and assisting your local Junior 'A' hockey team are rewarding in their own rights, but there are also some perks that come with being a billet family.
"Of course, there is payment to the billet families for taking care of the players, which covers things like their food expenses and maybe some of the frills or extras that the families would like to give the players," Torresan said.
"It's a reasonable amount and the billet family also gets a season pass to the Rock games, including the three exhibition games.
Families interested in becoming billets should contact Torresan by telephone at 705-235-3204 and leave a message or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If the prospect of becoming a billet family is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of other ways the Rock could use your services this season.
Tracy Hautanen is working on the recruitment of game-day staff to work at the team's home games — starting with the Saturday, Aug. 22 exhibition contest at the McIntyre Arena against the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners.
"We are looking for two cashiers to work the ticket booth, selling tickets and verifying people's tickets when they come into the area," she said.
"We are also looking for a couple of volunteers to hand out programs at that same location and we need security people. A few of them, at the start of the games, will be out making sure that parking is going well and then they will come in and join the rest of the security people, basically just going around the arena to make sure things are going well. We don't anticipate any issues but it is always nice to have people around.
"We are also looking for a couple of kids to be what we call rink rats, picking up the pucks and move the nets. Those two kids would need to have helmets with them.
"And we are also looking for some volunteers to sell the 50-50 tickets."
Other positions include announcers, goal judges and camera operators for the Fast Hockey live Internet broadcasts.
"We are asking people to send in a brief little resume and we will open all of those up on Friday and then we will contact people at that time," Hautanen said.
"We will do a little interview to make sure they understand the position and we will get them some training so that they are ready to go for the first exhibition game.
"We are looking for people who are committed to coming out to the games, have good people skills and enjoy talking with the public."
Applications should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com by noon on Friday.

Beatson Cancer Charity launches significant new partnership with Forrest Media
Forrest Media has generously pledged to support the charity over the coming years by sharing the charity's messages using outdoor advertising sites and digital screens, allowing the charity to effectively communicate with larger audiences of people from prime locations across Scotland and increase donations to the charity.
The first adverts will support the charity's Beatson Bauble Appeal which urges everyone to make a donation to the charity this Christmas and show their support for people facing cancer, to remember a loved one or to simply to say thank you to The Beatson for the care they or a family member received.
This year's Beatson Bauble Appeal centres on the story of cancer patient David Murray. David was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the beginning of 2015 and sadly died in August 2015. The story of David's experience at The Beatson is told from the perspective of his Dad, Kevin and how much the Beatson helped his son cope with his treatment.
The Appeal also features Aimee Gibson who was diagnosed with cervical cancer when she was 26 and passed away five weeks later on the 1st March 2012. Her mum and dad Robert and Liz Gibson have become dedicated fundraisers for Beatson Cancer Charity hoping to hit £30,000 in the coming months to celebrate what would have been Aimee's 30th birthday.
Fiona Rennie's story is also shared in memory of Chris who was the love of Fiona's life. He was 34 when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour and bravely battled cancer for five years. In Fiona's own words he was her hero and he has inspired her to start running again, to fundraise and to do whatever makes her happy in life.
Chief Executive of Beatson Cancer Charity, David Welch said: ''This is a unique and incredibly generous donation from Forrest Media and my sincere thanks go to Chris Trainer and the team at Forrest Media. The value of the partnership is huge and one of the biggest donations we have received. Not only will the free advertising space raise the profile of the charity but it will also drive a significant uplift in donations over the months and years ahead ultimately making a direct impact on cancer patients and their families though the work of the charity.''
Group CEO of Forrest Media, Chris Trainer said of the partnership, "Forrest Media is delighted to adopt Beatson Cancer Charity as our charitable partner. Cancer is something that affects everyone, either as a patient or a family member and we are delighted to offer our support to the fantastic Beatson Cancer Charity."
