India successfully defended their title in the T20 Blind World Cup on 12 February at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore by beating arch-rivals Pakistan in the final by nine wickets. Incidentally, in the previous and only edition of the T20 World Cup for the visually impaired, Pakistan had been on the losing end then too.
Both teams came into the contest with a superb record during the tournament. Where India had won eight out of nine games, losing only to Pakistan, beat Sri Lanka in the semi-final by a convincing ten wicket margin to seal their place in the summit clash. Neighbours Pakistan had been going one better by winning all nine matches and they had edged England in Karnataka by massive 147 runs.

Former Premier League referees' chief Keith Hackett has labelled Howard Webb's performance in the World Cup final "superb".
The 39-year-old from Rotherham has been heavily criticised, not least by the Dutch media, after issuing 14 yellow cards during Spain's fractious 1-0 win - two of which led to the dismissal of Holland's Everton defender John Heitinga.
But he has received support from within the English game and Hackett told the Yorkshire Post: "It is unfair that Howard is being criticised because, overall, he had a superb game technically."
He added: "Sadly, there were far too many players who showed no respect for the authority of the referee and it was not a good example of how the game should be played or how players should behave.
"You expect players to respond to a referee - and cautions normally serve to calm players down. But in this game, yellow cards had little effect on some players who continued to test his authority.
"Tactically, the Dutch were trying to stop the game and upset the opposition. There were many incidents of group dissent and group fouling tactics.
"Yet, out of all the referees at the World Cup, Howard was the ideal appointment. Had a referee with lesser experience or with less man-management and communication skills been in charge of this game, we could have had a very different scenario on our hands - it could well have deteriorated into mass confrontation."
The last Englishman to referee a World Cup final echoed that support for Webb.
Jack Taylor took charge of the 1974 final between Holland and West Germany, awarding the first two penalties in a World Cup final as Germany won 2-1.
And he told the Times: "I dread to think what certain referees from certain countries would have made of it. Some would have been in real trouble because one particular team created a lot of problems. A lot of referees would have finished in total disarray."

Fundamental to the effective operation of a design team is the communication and coordination of design models: that the members of the team are all contributing to the same solution. Other work has shown that breakdowns in the accurate sharing of goals are a significant contributor to bugs, delays and design flaws. This paper discusses one mechanism by which teams unify their vision of a solution. It describes how the mental imagery used by a key team member in constructing an abstract solution to a design problem can be externalised and adopted by the rest of the team as a focal image. Examples drawn from in situ observations of actual design practice of a number of computer system design teams are offered. The examples illustrate how the images were introduced, how they were used to coordinate subsequent design discussions, hence how they evolved, and how short-hand references to them were incorporated into the team's 'jargon'.

Specialty Grand Challenge ARTICLE
Grand challenges in psychosomatic research
- University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
The link between emotion and disease has long fascinated mankind. Famous seventeen century British physician, Thomas Willis (1621–1675) saw diabetes as a consequence of sadness or long sorrow (Willis, 1971). Though better known for describing what eventually became known as the "Circle of Willis", he provided a fairly comprehensive description of the role of nervous system in disease (Encyclopædia Britannica, 2010). Willis may not have been the first to see the link, but his account stands out for its sophistication. In subsequent years and centuries, psychosomatic medicine has fallen in and out of favor many times. Depending on whom we ask, and what we focus on, we are currently witnessing exciting and challenging times for psychosomatic research.
Despite decades of work, a key question in psychosomatic research remains: do psychiatric disorders cause or contribute to physical disease such as heart disease, diabetes and asthma? And given the treatments that we have, a second question is: does timely and optimum treatment of the psychiatric disorders prevent, arrest or roll back the progression of physical disease? As brain was shown to influence systemic physiology in health, as well as in disease, the impact of cognition and emotion, and not just psychiatric illness, on general physical health became an important line of investigation. Indeed, there is more to psychosomatic research than just psychosomatic medicine. With the new interest in positive psychology, the impact "positive emotional states" such as equanimity, level-headedness and congruence is also an important topic for investigation.
Among the positive developments are many exciting findings from neuroimaging studies as well as the promise of genetic studies. Neuroimaging has put "brain" back at the center of the psychosomatic medicine (Lane et al., 2009). Consequently, models in "mind body" medicine are becoming more elegant and plausible, and include diverse variables such as, mental/psychological/behavioral states and traits; brain; information transfer systems such as autonomic nervous system, endocrine, immune; and end organ functioning (Lane et al., 2009). Imaging studies suggest that brain has a role in a wide variety of systemic disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, conversion disorder, asthma, fibromyalgia and pain disorder (Lane and Wager, 2009). The evidence of such a role is not surprising, but what is striking is the amount of overlap in the findings among these seemingly diverse conditions. Most of this overlap is apparent in the fronto-limbic structures, such as the prefrontal cortex, insula, cingulate, orbitofrontal cortex, subcortical areas such as amygdala, ventral striatum and hippocampus. These very structures, notably, also seem to have a role in regulating immune function, autonomic and endocrine systems (Lane and Wager, 2009; McEwen and Gianaros, 2010).
With the gradual decrease in the cost of conducting neuroimaging studies, it is becoming easier to conduct studies that can establish potentially causal or mediational relationships.
Combining neuroimaging and genetics (Hariri and Weinberger, 2003) has also begun to pay dividends. A recent study examined the impact of a polymorphism within the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene, the Val(108/158)Met polymorphism, in conjunction with structural and functional neuroimaging; results suggest that the COMT Met allele modulates neural substrates of negative versus positive emotion processing, and may contribute to negativity bias, i.e., tendency to perceive danger rather than reward (Williams et al., 2010). The same group of investigators had earlier demonstrated that early life stress led to greater negativity bias in those with a variant of serotonin transporter linked promoter region (5-HTT-LPR Short allele; Williams et al., 2009). Since negativity bias is generally held as predisposing to anxiety and depression, this line of investigation can potentially establish polymorphisms with the COMT and 5-HTT-LPR genes, as well as identify other genes as predisposing factors in these psychiatric disorders. Aside from elucidating the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, this line of work may help focus the preventative effort to those at the greatest risk. Since individuals with the short allele of 5HTT-LPR also show more prominent positron emission tomography findings in response to colorectal distention, this particular polymorphism may also have implications for psychosomatic medicine (Fukudo et al., 2009).
The findings from basic research, such as the growing understanding of the link between autonomic system and the immune system, also strengthen the case for psychosomatic research (Oke and Tracey, 2009). Till now, it was hard to ascertain the utility and underlying mechanism for complementary and alternative medical treatments. But over the past decade, it became known that immune system can be regulated by the vagus nerve (Tracey, 2007). Simultaneously, the role of immune system in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and sepsis also became clearer (Klover et al., 2005; Plomgaard et al., 2005; Popa et al., 2007). Now, the evidence that a variety of interventions such as hypnosis, biofeedback, behavioral modification, cognitive and relaxation therapies can stimulate the vagus nerve (Lehrer et al., 2003; Peng et al., 2004; Nolan et al., 2010) sets the stage for studies that examine whether these interventions can also impact the immune system and thereby, alleviate the growing list of disorders believed to have a significant inflammatory component (Oke and Tracey, 2009).
Despite the positives, many challenges remain. Chiefly, translational research is difficult to conduct, especially when one aims to examine the impact of an intervention in a disease with long gestation period. Greater understanding of the predictors and surrogate markers certainly helps. For example, long-term studies that established insulin resistance as a predictor of type 2 diabetes help in designing diabetes prevention trials that can potentially demonstrate, in a timely manner, the superiority of one form of intervention over the others. But, not knowing all the mediators and moderators of response makes it impossible to conduct truly randomized trials. For example, we have learned to control for physical activity levels and dietary calorie count. But until recently, we did not know enough about the role of omega-3 fatty acids in depression (Appleton et al., 2010) and chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease (Mozaffarian et al., 2006; Surette, 2008; Tavazzi et al., 2008), to control for dietary amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Similarly, we have only begun to understand the role of genetic polymorphism such as those within the COMT and BDNF genes in pathogenesis of psychiatric and physical disease. One wonders if the failure to control for dietary content and genetic polymorphism in the participants contributed to our failure to consistently detect improvement in cardiac outcomes with successful treatment of depression even though depression has been all but proven a prognostic variable.
If we go by the number of published studies, the field of psychiatric genetics seemed to have exploded. However, the associations detected in such studies are small and often do not withstand statistical adjustment for multiple comparisons. Furthermore, neuropsychiatric disorders are characterized by so much heterogeneity that most unrelated patients seem to have a different genetic cause (McClellan and King, 2010a). Though, collectively rare mutations are detected in a substantial proportion of patients, no single locus of mutations explains more than 1–2% of cases (Purcell et al., 2009; McClellan and King, 2010a). Another challenge is that most disease causing mutations seem to be "new", i.e., either appearing for the first time (de novo) or have occurred in recent generations (McClellan and King, 2010b).
Learning new brain pathways, central and peripheral, between emotion processing and end organs with known roles in pathogenesis of physical disease is exciting indeed. But equally important, though perhaps less interesting, is understanding the impact of physical illness, and chosen interventions, on psychological functioning. Recent evidence implicates genetic factors in the greater prevalence of depression among cardiac patients (McCaffery et al., 2009). The predictive value of a genetic polymorphism related to endothelial dysfunction in the emergence of depressive symptoms amongst cardiac patients suggests that endothelial dysfunction could be a novel mechanism for the onset of depression. The development of depressive symptoms in a subset of patients receiving interferon-alpha treatment has similarly led to greater understanding of the role of serotonin transporter polymorphism in the development of depression (Lotrich et al., 2009).
Apart from the physical disease itself, the impact of chosen interventions on psychological functioning is also an important pillar of psychosomatic research. This "pillar" supplies the information that the patients and their providers need to make truly informed choices. For example, intrusiveness of undergoing regular dialyses in the life and psychological functioning of a given individual is quite different from what is experienced after a renal transplant (Devins et al., 1990). With the stated goal of developing personalized care, systematic examination of psychological impact in individual patients would make it easier to find a better goodness of fit. With ever growing list of treatment options, as well as the option of treating versus not treating, this line of investigation will continue to be important.
Another line of investigation addresses somatoform disorders. Moves are afoot to recast the nomenclature (Dimsdale and Creed, 2009). The current terminology faces criticism: patients invariably do not like the consequent "labeling" and primary care physicians, who see a majority of these patients, find the terminology difficult to understand. The contemporary terminology also creates an unfortunate divide between physical and mental disease. Without doubt, there is a merit in viewing somatoform disorders simply as those characterized by predominant somatic symptoms that result in significant distress or dysfunction (Dimsdale and Creed, 2009). Among the changes under consideration, diagnosis of somatization disorder, undifferentiated somatoform disorder, hypochondriasis, and pain disorder could be clubbed together as somatic symptom disorders. Recasting the nomenclature will hopefully stimulate new research and new understanding. As it is, much of the available literature on these disorders is old.
Though, historically, psychosomatic research has not lived up to its full promise, the new generation of studies provides a strong reason for new optimism. History as we know, often teaches us wrong lessons. Our challenge is to win back old "believers" as we attract new ones. There will be a continued need to disseminate emerging findings among the general public and our colleagues in other disciplines. Given strong headwinds such as the recent economic downturn, convincing funding agencies to maintain, if not enhance, support for psychosomatic research will be a constant battle. A related challenge would be attract a constant supply of talented and motivated researchers to the field. The onus for knowledge dissemination is upon all of us; we at the Frontiers in Psychosomatic Research promise to do our part. With a few false starts and detours, we will get there!

An expert system is a computer application that solves complicated problems that would otherwise require extensive human expertise. However, this business may not be practicable if you live in a highly urbanized place like in the middle of a city or in a province and you can also consider planting and selling vegetables in your background that categorized to a low cost budget but better make sure you have a green thumb.
Thank you so much all ideas i retionly not from State I try to do something but I'm not sure what I having an idea not sure how is in state of America my idea to open a vending beer machine which mean not with regular bottle is come with 4 pack or 6 pack my machine can put anywhere in plaza or shopping center how's work is simple like when you withdraw money from ATM insert your ID then machine will scan ID same time machine will take your photo if your match with you photo scan you ok to select your beer then pay if your ID and scan not match machine will reject your process instead you go to store pack your can waiting on line or don't have driver thru in your location or store closed early which mean after mild might machine will stop purchase it self this is just idea and just wonder how is process need to get there.
Moreover, these business analysts have experience in different verticals and since business analysis both benefits from domain expertise, and is different from business expertise, a cross pollination of expertise, often adds depths to insights in business analysis.
Instead of focusing on actually selling items, the website functions like a business card or brochure, providing useful information about what your company does and how it does it. Most small business websites are modeled after this one – The Portfolio site.

While direct selling was initially the primary 'route to market', production efficiencies coupled with improvements in transportation meant producers could reach a much bigger market and this resulted in the pre-eminence of the retail distribution model for many years.
What I am saying is the more rural you are might determine some businesses unfeasible and will mean that you may have to work harder to create a market or that you will have to deal with distribution on a larger scale that someone who is suburban or urban.

Mayor Kasim Reed Announces $100M Expansion of Piedmont Park
Mayor's Office of Communications
55 Trinity Avenue, Suite 2500 • Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Anne Torres, Director
Jenna Garland, Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 29, 2017
News Release
Mayor Kasim Reed Announces $100M Expansion of Piedmont Park
ATLANTA – Mayor Kasim Reed today announced that the City of Atlanta has signed Letters of Intent with two property owners to purchase the property located at the corner of Piedmont Road and Monroe Drive for the historic expansion of Piedmont Park and the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Joining Mayor Reed for the announcement was Department of Parks and Recreation Commissioner Amy Phuong, Chief Operating Officer Dan Gordon, Chief of Staff Candace L. Byrd, as well as Piedmont Park Conservancy President and CEO Mark Banta and President and CEO of the Atlanta Botanical Gardens Mary Pat Matheson.
"It is fitting that for my final announcement as the 59th Mayor of the City of Atlanta, that I had the honor of announcing an historic expansion of Piedmont Park," said Mayor Reed. "Piedmont Park is our city's crown jewel, and my friends Mary Pat Matheson and Mark Banta shared my belief that this moment represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to purchase the land needed to expand this beautiful park. I want to thank Mary Pat and Mark for their partnership in this effort, and everyone who made this agreement possible. This expansion will create a new gateway to the park, and will fundamentally transform the area at Monroe and Piedmont. Words cannot express my happiness and my gratitude."
The purchase of this land will enable the City to create an enhanced landscape that will serve as a gateway entrance to Piedmont Park. As the City moves forward with this project, the Department of Parks and Recreation will host a community engagement process to incorporate public feedback in the park design. The expansion project will include a connection to the Atlanta BeltLine, improved pedestrian trails and access to Piedmont Park, additional open greenspace and forested land.
"I was honored to stand by Mayor Reed today to make this historic announcement. Over the past eight years of his Administration, I believe Mayor Reed has set a new standard for parks and greenspace expansion. He should be honored as one of the greatest parks Mayors our city has ever had, and it has been a tremendous privilege to carry out his vision," said Commissioner Phuong.
The City will contribute $20 million to the initial acquisition. Carol Tomé, CFO of The Home Depot and a member of the Atlanta Committee for Progress, has volunteered to lead the philanthropic effort raise up to $80 million in private funds to acquire all the remaining property and fund the park design and construction.
An anonymous philanthropist contributed $2 million to support the initial $20 million acquisition. In addition to the gift, the City will leverage various sources, including but not limited to Park Impact Fees, TSPLOST funds and Watershed funds to fund the acquisition. The City will also take on the current leases and utilize the net operating income from generated from those leases.
Under Mayor Reed's leadership, the Department of Parks and Recreation has reopened all the City's recreation centers and formed partnerships to invest more than $6 million in philanthropic dollars in the Centers of Hope. More than 3,500 young people receive leadership development training, participate in modern technology courses, and experience true mentorship at Centers of Hope each year. In addition, the department acquired an additional 171 acres of land in the City of Atlanta which includes 15 new parks. As a result, 64 percent of Atlanta residents live within a half mile walk of a park.
Conceptual renderings of the park expansion can be found here.

LA Auto Show 2013
2013 LA Auto Show debuts 40 new cars, showcases technology
By Vince Bodiford
As the first major North American auto show of the season, the L.A. Auto Show is hosting
some of the most important new vehicle debuts and set the tone for the rest of the year. The show is going on now through December 9 at the LA Convention Center. In addition to the auto show, there are also activities for the family and test-drives of the new cars. The LA show is one of the best attended public auto shows in the world.
More than 40 vehicles have made their debut at the show. The debut lineup this year also promises a compelling mix of the hottest trends and cutting-edge innovations driving today's resurgent automotive industry, including world firsts from Chevrolet as well as European automakers such as BMW, Fiat and Volkswagen. Show-goers also will see global unveilings of new designs from Asian brands, including models from Acura, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and Toyota.
Toyota has unveiled its all-new RAV4 at the show, which has a distinctive new look, and its trademark rear-mounted spare tire is now hidden underneath. The RAV4 appears larger that prior models. BMW showcases its i8 Concept, which also is a peek into the overall future design language of BMW. A popular introduction is the all-new Chevrolet Spark, likely one of the greenest and efficient new cars from General Motors. Cadillac's hot new entry-level ATS sedan makes a run for entry-level luxury sport buyers, hoping to woo buyers from the European imports. Mitsubishi's new Outlander made its debut, with larger overall body, and longer, flat hoodline and new nose. These and the other all-new cars are completely new from the ground-up, and they are packed with the latest in new technology.
The Motor Press Guild presented the 2013 Cadillac ATS sedan its "Car of the Year" award. This award is decided by the several hundred member automotive journalists from around the country.
Green and alternative fuel technologies, such as hybrids and all-electric vehicles, are featured in several world debuts at the show. There are also an increasing number of high-mileage internal combustion vehicles, including clean diesel, on display. Additionally, several automakers have unveiled emerging technologies that are dramatically changing the modern driving experience and making it safer.
These technology-laden vehicles share the media spotlight with a well-represented lineup of luxury and performance models underscoring Southern California's status as the largest
market for these segments in the country. Of the 40 debuts slated, at least a dozen will come
from these two categories, including unveilings from the likes of Acura, Bentley, BMW, Jaguar,
Land Rover and Porsche.
"As the first major North American show of the season, L.A. sets the tone for 2013 and
the automakers have pulled out all the stops to excite new-car buyers. In virtually every
category from the greenest electric vehicle to high-horsepower performance models, the
technological advancements we are seeing today eclipse all previous automotive eras," said
Andy Fuzesi, general manager of the L.A. Auto Show.
With California established as a global center for alternative fuel and advanced
technology innovations, it should come as no surprise that the L.A. Auto Show is a prime
venue for breaking news on all the latest developments. For more information about the show, visit LAAutoShow.com

Bertie's MVC
was up
to the task.
It would do anything
that Bertie
would ask.
He was still a young boy
and wanted
to play
so Bertie took his MVC
one day.
They came across
the neighborhood bully
with a peculiar name.
Larry the Lip
had made
that claim.
Bertie said to Larry
"It's now time
to say goodbye.
Don't be such a baby
and begin
to cry.
My trusty MVC
will promptly suck
the life out of you
and it will be
the last nasty thing
you'll ever do."
The MVC
a terrifying noise.
The end came quickly
to one of the meanest
little boys.
The same thing
to Wilma Warthog.
She was a nosey old neighbor
with the snout
of a dog.
Bertie needed badly
to make her
The sucking sound
and it became quite clear
when Wilma vanished
into a cloud
of dust.
No one objected
or found it
Bertie was a local hero
but he could do
much more
and that's what
magic vacuums
are only made for.
So Bertie stepped up
with a dramatic
new plan.
It was to save the tawdry reputation
of the Planet
of Man.
His MVC
sucked up
corruption and crime.
was gone
for the very last time.
Prejudice and hate
went together
and the lack of any pollution
made the skies
They said
"Bertie, you just saved
the entire human race
and your nifty MVC
really cleaned up
the place."
Although how does a vacuum work
a plug in the wall?
You see
the power of magic
is above it all
but a bit of caution
and a word
to the wise
so we can
all be happy
and see the next sunrise.
Please handle
the filter bag
with extreme care
because we know
what has been
sucked up in there!

Brain Candy Review
Brain Candy is a book written by Theodore Lidsky and co-authored Jay Schneider in 2010. The book claims to take a comprehensive cutting-edge look at what nutrients designed to enhance memory, think faster, sharpen creativity and focus better are available today.
Theodore I. Lidsky, Ph.D., specializes in research on the brain and behavior. The author is currently the director of the Laboratory of Electrophysiology at the New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities.
The book is designed as an introduction and a reference guide to nootropics, smart drugs and other memory and brain enhancing supplements. The books purpose is to provide unbiased, well-researched information for people who are seeking for alternatives to improve memory and brain function in general, be they herbal formulas, dietary supplements or any other type of remedy.
Brain Candy Ingredients
Not applicable.
Product Features
Brain Candy aims to offer its readers a framework of self-assessing dietary supplements, natural remedies and any formula claiming to support or enhance brain performance. The book actually weights the pros and cons of each ingredient and offers accurate references to research done up until now. In a sense, the book authors wish to educate the readers, so that they will consciously and responsibly choose for themselves the right brain enhancing formulas.
Ted Lidsky also makes the case of the 6 billion dollar industry, meaning supplement pills, capsules, teas, and elixirs annually used by Americans, an industry which is not regulated for safety and effectiveness by the Government, FDA or any other institution.
Brain Candy is organized into chapters which explain how the brain works to store and retrieve information, while discussing the variety and specificity (effectiveness, risk, mechanism of action, dosages, counter indications, existence of scientific research) of each herb, drug and hormone available or researched at the current time.
Book reviews on Brain Candy are positive. Consumers praise the fact that is comprehensive, easy to understand and well documented.
- Consumer reviews consider the book very well documented and segmented
- The author of the book is a specialist in brain and behavior
- Some critics suggest the book is biased and information presented is inconsistent and too simplistic
Brain Candy is designed as a guideline on the many alternative formulas, supplements or drug which aim to improve memory. The book has approximately 200 pages and consumers say it is rather well segmented into topics. While not trying to give a subjective opinion, the author tries presenting each herb, nutrient, hormone, etc from an objective perspective, mentioning research conducted so far, potential side effects and interactions, mechanism of action, as well as risk and effectiveness as estimated by other.
There are some critics though from consumers complaining about the book's simplicity and lack of consistence. However, consumers experiences and knowledge backgrounds are different; therefore, it is not unusual for contradictory opinions to exist.

At approximately 8:15 pm March 2, 2018, a large tree fell across Rt 214 just east of River Club Drive posing an immediate and significant hazard to motorists. With the high volume of calls throughout the area due to high winds, trees and wires down, all WBVFD units were occupied on other calls. Utility 20, a small fire department vehicle was sent to assess and guard the area until more fire apparatus became available. U20 arrived to find full tree had fallen atop the high tension power lines, supplying the #MayoPeninsula power.
Once available, while awaiting the arrival of BGE and tree removal companies, the Woodland Beach Volunteer Fire Department Engine 2-2 and Chief 2 were able to make it to the east side of the incident to ensure medical and fire protection for those confined to the peninsula. One medical call was dispatched during the road closure and was successfully completed due to the coordination of all personnel on scene.
We understand everyone's frustration with the situation, however rest assured, we did everything in our power to ensure the safety of our citizens and we believe that the process went well. Continue to use caution when driving through the area and watch for branches along side the road.

The Journal of Health, Inhabitants and Nutrition (JHPN) has a rich and distinguished history. Originating in 1983 as the Journal of Diarrhoeal Diseases Analysis, it was re-launched in 2000 by icddr,b , a world‐class public health analysis organization, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. icddr,b developed JHPN in the course of the interval 2000-2015 as an internationally renowned journal, with a particular focus on research of relevance to developing nations. Earlier than and after his election to the presidency, Barack Obama has been painted time and time once more as subhuman in graphics, e-mail transmissions and posters used to undermine him. While it's nothing new for politicians to be became caricatures, those used to criticize Obama frequently have racial overtones. The president has been portrayed as a shoeshine man, an Islamic terrorist and a chimp, to call a number of.
Great ideas right here, a superb thing to learn when missing power and feeling low… Oh, and thanks for the music! 🙂 Voted up and stuff, all the very best! We enable business to supply differing plans; there isn't any distinction here. It might be distasteful, however then so is the retirement program they've and even the wage they draw. IMO opinion of course – you could feel that politicians that cannot produce what the nation needs needs to be paid double what they already are.
The seaside is enjoyable and enjoyable and we're not saying to keep away from it all collectively, just lather up in sunscreen to avoid the unhealthy unwanted side effects that come together with it. Reapply each two to three hours to be sure you're absolutely protected. Holding your body healthy and in form is important. It does not should be extreme either! Walk to your classes, take a class that involves physical health or check out the scholar services your campus provides for college students to utilize.
Total, educating is a rewarding occupation that takes endurance, willpower, and time. The moment when I personally really feel most accomplished is when I see college students obtain one thing that they once mentioned they never could do. The satisfaction in their eyes and their smiles of success, erase all the issues that occurred alongside the best way. I hope that by conjoining my instructing methods with health ideas, I can enhance the lives of any student I come throughout. I firmly imagine that with time and support, health programs will develop into more glorified for their constructive, life-saving outcomes.
ACLS certification expires within two years of passing the ultimate examination. Re-certification is required each two years and college students should take a present course with a view to re-certify. Because ACLS protocols and tips typically change it is essential for healthcare suppliers to be current with their training. Advanced Cardiac Life Help coaching consists of both research and palms-on coaching. Retraining each two years ensures professionals are current with the fabric and have in-depth technical experience utilizing their training in quite a lot of varied clinical conditions and situations.

Help installing Linux Mint
Trying to install linux mint 17.1 on a compaq presario with a 1.3 ghz processor, 512 ram, 120GB hard drive. when I boot from the live cd, I get the title screen where it starts to count down. If I just try to run mint I get a little gray square in the upper left of the corner. If I start mint in compatibility mode, it will boot up but it gives me "running in software rendering mode, no video hardware acceleration may need to update drivers" so i tried to install mint to update the drivers it gets to partitioning the hard drive and locks up. Is there a way to update the drivers before installing or is there something else that I need to do. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Your processor does support 64bit, so that isn't the issue. I have seen problems when trying to install both Mint and Zorin if you select the encryption of your home directory or a partition during installation. You can select that later if need be.
Also, I've had issues before if the partitions were in previously in use by some other OS. Use FDISK, gpartd or some other disk manager and delete and format the partition that you want to instsll Mint on. That's usually solved these types of issues for me.

Solo: A Star Wars Story Featurette Reveals More of Han Solo's World
A new two-minute featurette for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" shows more of the world of Star Wars when it was still under the control of the Empire than fans have seen before.
Featuring quotes from director Ron Howard — who replaced Chris Miller and Phil Lord — Donald Glover, Emilia Clarke, Alden Ehrenreich and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, the clip shows scenes from numerous locales throughout the galaxy.
"It's all part of the great expansion of the Han Solo world," says Ehrenreich.
"We're meeting Han right before he comes the Han that we know," Glover adds.
Howard says viewers will get to see Solo's first moments with Chewbacca, the Millenium Falcon, and Lando Calrissian.
Selected scenes include Solo being chased through a crowded city with Clarke's Qi'Ra, a battlefield scene reminiscent of the opening scenes of "The Force Awakens," and Solo dropping from an aircraft onto a moving train accompanied by Chewie.
The second new generation prequel film, after "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," is set to premiere at Cannes Film Festival, 10 days before its official release date.
Ehrenreich stars as a young Han Solo and Glover plays fellow smuggler Lando Calrissian. Clarke and Woody Harrelson also topline the space opera.
"Solo: A Star Wars Story" hits theaters May 25.

Sanding back a desk isn't actually as heavy a task as it appears! You'll definitely need someone who knows how to guide you (or just youtube) but if you're committed to a day's worth of physical labour I'm sure you can pull it off! Plus you can hire people to do these monotonous tasks!!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, I'm so jealous! Glad to hear that it is as good as I am hoping it will be. I always love white interiors, they have a lovely freshness about them.ReplyDelete

What's Finance Advice All About?
Everyone who comes across the word finance immediately thinks of income taxes and money management. While it's true that finance is concerned with those issues, it offers a very wide arena of perspectives. So is that a wonder then that people get lost in this complicated maze packed with jargon and other doublespeak? This is where finance advice is necessary.
Finance advice allows for the particular finance layman to be steered from the complicated avenues of monetary decisions with family member ease. Such assistance can be obtained from many different sources from specialist finance analysts and advisors, to self-help books, and also the multitude of web sites that deal with this kind of topic on the Internet.
Finance assistance is relevant to every stage of life. Through designing a financial strategy in the twenties, to good investment decisions and wealth accumulation in the thirties and 40s, to planning the actual retirement plan for the actual sixties and further. But the topic does not limit itself to only these types of aspects. It also touches upon quite a few some other important decisions.
Many websites that focus on this topic supply financial calculators which can use to work out their funds flow and monetary planning requirements. Information on banking pertains to accounts management, direct debits, bank account borrowing management, and other this kind of concerns. Finance advice additionally allows people to decide their own credit card needs and find the one card which is best for these. Debt management relates to all issues which need repayments, like home loans. Advice allows to choose upon the best scheme, and to figure out which loans are better for the need and handbag. It also deals with the way to maximize savings, and offers the low down on ISAs and also pyramid schemes. Economic benefits like local authority or council tax, housing, and jobseekers allowance also come under its umbrella. Guidance also deals with long-term problems like designing the best retirement plan, as well as other insurance schemes like health-related, health, life, and car insurances. Finally, finance advice deals with income taxes, and everything that pertains to it.
Finance advice furthermore gives a wealth of suggestions and strategies for daily concerns, like living within your means, developing a budget and sticking with it, and how to stay out of debt.

As this year wraps up, my goal is to refocus on the basics that is working in photography. To study and discover more what light--in it's mystery and subtle beauty--can reveal about the subject. In the ever present light, there is life.
I'm thankful to work in a medium that provides such a rich metaphor for what I believe. A photograph is only made possible through light. It records light. But what is so beautiful to me is that there really doesn't need to be much...really, there is always enough light to make a photograph. Film (errrr....memory cards) hold the latent image of the light recorded, and so we reveal the light that is seemingly covered in darkness.
As this year wraps up, my goal is to refocus on the basics that is working in photography. To study and discover more what light--in it's mystery and subtle beauty--can reveal about the subject. In the ever present light, there is life.
The Stewart Family
I love this family. From their kind and gentle natures to the boys' infectious energy I just love being around the Stewarts. This is convenient since they're family! Sarah is Seth's sister which makes her boys my boy's cousins. This shoot was a lot of fun and I think the personalities burst through the screen.
Erickson Family
The best part about my job is getting to document the changes that naturally happen year after year. What a special thing it is to have these visual markers of the different moments, locations, and events in our lives! Last year, I got to take pictures of the Erickson family. Soon after, they moved to a new house, so it was a lot of fun to take photos in a place that is becoming home for this delightful and loving family. It just goes to show, though somethings change, other things always stay the same. :)
Baby Hannah- Newborn Session
Yes, I may have my very own 8 month old that I can snuggle and squeeze all day, but there is really nothing like holding a newborn. I was so happy to have the chance to take some of Hannah's first pictures while she was still in that moldable/foldable newborn phase. She is so wonderful! I got to see her again today and I could not believe how much she has grown in just a few weeks! She is looking more babyish and less newbornish. I'm so glad these photos serve to preserve, hold, and celebrate a much too fleeting time.
The Lynch Family
This was such a fun family session; I feel like every single photo taken was "blog-worthy," they're all so cute! We met at the Arapahoe Bend Natural Area and, I'll tell you what, this is a popular spot. There were probably three other photo shoots going on at the same time, but we had a great time, and I love the photographs that were captured. Isn't this little girl a doll?!
I love this family, their home, their laughter, and the delight that they take in one another and the Lord. They hold the Christ-light and draw so many to it. They are loved and blessings to me and so many others.
Hi. I'm Brooke.
I love to take pictures of people. And I'd love to take pictures of you!

If you could get high quality traffic that would grow on a daily basis free of charge starting tomorrow would you do it?
If you answered yes?
I'm going to show you exactly how to do that right here free of charge.
Let me be completely honest with you, after reading this, I guarantee you will never again have to pay any money to get high quality traffic to your website. And no, what I am about to tell you has nothing to do with emailing safe lists, wasting your time with traffic exchange programs, or any other cheap tricks.
What I am about to explain to you in the most simple straightforward manner possible is by far the most powerful way to get the best long term high quality traffic on earth. I want you to be able to fully understand the elegance of the system that I am about to describe to you so let me first give you a little background.
When I first started to market affiliate programs online I went the pay per click route. I didn't really know what I was doing, but magically it seemed to work. Now? I can't say that I made much money through pay per click advertising, but I did get some traffic that actually bought through my affiliate links! The problem with this method was it ended up costing me just as much as I made.
Next I tried to generate traffic the free route by taking part in traffic exchanges and mailing to safe lists. I'm not going to even go into detail about these methods because it didn't take me long to figure out that these methods just don't work.
Next, I started advertising in eZines. This traffic method actually does work and can work very well, but on the flip side it can also cost quite a bit of money and does put that money at quite a bit of risk. What I mean by is there were times when I was mailing to eZines that cost quite a bit of money and I didn't even make a single sale and then there were other times when I was advertising in eZines that I spent very little on and I made some pretty good coin. It's extremely hit or miss most of the time with eZines plus the traffic you generate is only transient. If your traffic doesn't buy on that first pass your out of luck. That's why I say eZine advertising is a high risk web site traffic generation method.
Next, I decided I would try to start my own eZine. It sounded like a great idea, but it really is quite a bit of work can cost quite a bit of money in the early phase. Having your own list is a powerful sales tool and I do think that it is something that everyone who is serious about their internet marketing efforts should have, but I truly don't think it is the best way to generate long term hands free traffic.
Because you have to email your list every time you want them to visit a site. It's not hands free.
So, let me get to the point?
What's the best way to generate long term high quality traffic for free?
Hint: I'm doing it write now.
That's right - Writing Articles!
Writing good quality articles about subjects that people want to read about is by far the best high quality traffic generation tool available anywhere. The great thing is this is something that will NEVER change.
? People want high quality free information. After all, that's primarily why people search the internet anyways.
? Websites need good quality content to for there sites and eZines.
By filling in that gap you're fulfilling a need that is mutually beneficial to all parties involved. The reader gets great information to read. The website or eZine owner gets quality content. You get to stamp yourself as an authority in the field and you get to add a link in the resource box at the end of your article (free high quality traffic).
Gaining website traffic through writing article works through the principle of reciprocity. You first give something of value and then you get something of value in return. You give your quality content to other webmasters and then they give you traffic.
What makes this tool so powerful is its viral nature. Not only do you get free traffic through your resource box at the end of your article, but you also get to establish high quality one way links back to your website. The search engines LOVE this!
Let me say that a different way, when you post your articles to the larger directories you will get a free high PR one way (non-reciprocal) link back to your site. Further, you have an almost infinite number of chances for other webmasters looking for quality content to post your articles to there web site.
I didn't know how powerful this method truly was until about 3 weeks after I began posting my articles to the larger directories. I started to see my website traffic grow and I couldn't really place why. At that point, I had only placed my articles in three of the top directories, but when I did a Google search for some of the titles of my articles I found them on dozens of website.
"Wow" I thought.
I got dozens of free in pointing links within a period of only a few weeks and I really didn't have to do anything to get them. It was only when I saw this with my own eyes that I finally realized how powerful article writing could be as a traffic generation tool.
Give it a try. It's the best hands free traffic secret that I have ever learned. Write a few articles and then post them to a few directories. You'll be surprised with your results. Best of all it's all free!
One last tip!
After writing your articles you need a few great places to post them to, so here are my favorites; IdeaMarketers.com, GoArticles.com , and EzineArticles.com.
That should get you off to a pretty good start. Happy Writing!

Our friends at ClearVoice recently conducted a survey asking, "What's your biggest challenge with content?" Respondents were able to list more than one challenge, and responses were open-ended; in other words, they weren't choosing from a multiple-choice list. ClearVoice wanted to hear about those pain points in their respondents' own words.
They then aggregated responses into seven common themes:
- Production
- Credibility
- Process
- Traffic
- KPIs (measurement)
- Strategy
- Resources
We'll break down each of these and offer advice from Vertical Measures' experts on how we answer these common challenges.
Your Content Production Process is a Mess – or Nonexistent
Respondents to ClearVoice's survey cited content production – from coming up with ideas to editing and publishing content – as a top challenge with content.
It is hard to come up with fresh ideas, especially when you've been churning out content for several years. I mean, how many times can an HVAC company write "Tips for saving on heating costs during winter"?
I asked Megan Krause, content manager at Vertical Measures, "What do you do when you run out of fresh ideas for a client?"
"It's as simple as 'start clicking.' When I've gotten all the help I'm going to get from keyword tools and after I've exhausted Google Suggest and the People Also Ask box, I start clicking around my competitors' blogs and social sites. What are people talking about? What's got them riled up? And then I ask, 'How can we do it better?'"
Megan Krause, Content Manager
To help with your content production process, we recommend mapping it out on a white board. Get your team involved and take a good, hard look at your content production workflow. If it looks like this, you've got problems:
We're not making this up. Some clients' creation and approvals processes look like this. How can you get legal, the C-suite, and subject matter experts out of the content creation process? Here are some tactics that have worked for our clients:
- Avoid topics that require legal review
- Avoid topics that require the C-suite to review. Ask them: What kinds of content would you not need to sign off on?
- Give reviewers due dates with this message: "If I don't hear from you by tomorrow, I'll assume it's good to go"
You Don't Know How to Create Quality Content
More than half of the respondents to the ClearVoice survey said content quality is an issue for them. How do you know if you're creating quality content, and if you're not, what do you do about it?
I asked VM content manager Nantale Muwonge, "How do you define quality content?"
"Quality content offers insight or an expert perspective that readers couldn't have arrived at themselves, because they aren't the subject matter experts (or that resonates with them if they are). It is written in simple language, not flowery or verbose. The purpose of the piece of content is also important. Is it clear? Have I met the reader's need by the time they get to the end or have I left them unsatisfied? Quality content meets reader needs."
Nantale Muwonge, Content Manager
You Don't Have Time to Create Content
We get it: You need to spend time making your products, generating customers and providing services. You don't have time to write content. Or do you?
There's one person I think of when it comes to time management: Shana Sullivan, VM project manager and digital marketing evangelist. I asked her, "What do you say to someone who says they don't have time to create content?"
"A great piece of content doesn't have to take hours upon hours to create. As long as you're writing content that answers the questions your readers are actually searching for, you should come out on top with your audience and with Google. There are plenty of content types you can create quickly. These 'snackable' pieces of content are actually better for readers because, frankly, people are lazy. Think about creating lists, resource pages, roundup-style blog posts, experiential posts, etc."
Shana Sullivan, Project Manager & Trainer
I agree with Shana, and I'd add that you can't look at digital marketing and content creation as a distraction or a separate department. Look at them as integral parts of your operations. Content is essential; don't treat it as an afterthought.
No One's Reading Your Content
About 40% of ClearVoice's survey respondents said they struggle with getting content in front of their audiences. How do you distribute, promote and attract the right audience to your content? How do you meet your audiences at the right moment of their customer journey?
I asked Erik Solan, our director of amplified content, to answer the question, "When a prospect or client complains that they aren't reaching their intended audiences, where do you begin?" He said the answer depends on whether they're doing paid or organic amplification. If it's paid and they want more traffic, they might start on social media by encouraging engagement through non-branded content.
If they're looking to convert, he said, "They should target their audience on search channels where they are already asking the consideration-stage questions that precede their final decision."
Your Content Isn't Converting
Respondents also indicated they want their content to convert users into leads and leads into long-time customers. Interestingly, return on investment (ROI) wasn't a big concern.
"If your content isn't converting, there are a few questions you should start asking yourself. Does the content include a clear and consistent call to action? Is the call to action noticeable and enticing? Are the value propositions easily noticeable and meaningful to the audience?"
Josh Taylor, CRO Strategist
Sometimes, you think you've created a clear path to conversion in your content, but your audience doesn't see it. Or, you've set up calls to action that don't match up with where your audience is at the moment.
For example, a potential customer who's in the awareness stage (asking general how-to or what-is questions, for example), is not likely ready to speak to a salesperson. Your calls to action should be soft and invite awareness-stage searchers to explore your website and maybe subscribe to your content.
You Don't Have a Good Content Strategy
Almost half of the respondents indicated they struggle with content strategy. They have a hard time identifying their goals, understanding their audience's needs and meeting their audience throughout their customer journey.
I took this question – I've been overseeing the digital marketing strategies that our team collaborates on, and this is what I advise people who struggle with a content strategy or digital marketing strategy:
"In the absence of a documented digital marketing strategy, you can still be strategic in your content creation process by answering five simple questions for each piece of content you create:
- How does this content help your business grow?
- Who are you trying to reach?
- Where are they in their search?
- What do you want them to do?
- How will you know if you've succeeded?"
Let's unpack those questions:
- What business goals are we trying to achieve? Be clear on how each piece of content helps you reach your business goals. If a content idea doesn't map back to a specific business goal, scrap it.
- Which customer (audience segment or persona) are we trying to reach? While your goals are important to consider, so are your audience's needs.
- Where are potential customers in their journey? When we ideate topics for our clients, we use a spreadsheet template that tracks not only our audience segments but also where they are in their customer journey. You can find an example spreadsheet here.
- What do we want them to do? No content should be a dead end. Each piece of content you create should lead to the next logical step in the potential customer's journey. For awareness-level content, you might link to a related piece of content or a downloadable free eBook. For consideration-stage content, you might invite them to join your email mailing list. For decision-stage content, you'll invite them to speak to someone on your team.
- How will we know if we've succeeded? Determine what key performance indicators you'll use to measure your content's performance. Typical metrics include website traffic, social shares, and bounce rates.
You Struggle Finding Talent to Create Content
Over half of respondents cited finding talent as a major pain point when it comes to content creation.
I asked Joshua Leimkuehler, content manager at Vertical Measures, this one: If a client says they don't have resources to create content, what do you suggest?
"Content production agencies and freelance writers can fill your website with the types of pieces users are looking for, but I would also strongly recommend that you find the resources internally to participate in at least some of the content creation. You are the subject matter expert, and no one knows your offerings (or your industry) better than you. Editors, freelance writers, and SEO specialists can take most of the work off your plate, but the best bottom-funnel content (i.e., the content most likely to convince and convert readers) comes from subject matter experts like you."
Joshua Leimkuehler, Content Manager
You Don't Need to Do It Perfectly… But You Do Need to Do It
Effectively participating in content marketing requires commitment and work, and even with those things, it still comes with challenges. But the payoffs – better search results, increased traffic, more leads, higher conversions, greater brand credibility – make it worth the effort.

The Pro-Rodeo Hall of Fame – Museum of the American Cowboy, American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum, and National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame are just a few of the famous museums that are synonymous with the equine industry, and the reined cow horse industry is adding its name to that list.
The Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity and the National Reined Cow Horse Foundation (NRCHF) are in negotiations with the Reno Livestock Event Center in Reno, Nevada, to establish a permanent museum that will educate visitors about the reined cow horse heritage and industry, and honor the National Reined Cow Horse Association's (NRCHA) Hall of Fame inductees.
"The National Reined Cow Horse Foundation was established to promote the reined cow horse heritage and industry, and the Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity was established to keep the tradition of the California Spanish vaqueros and the roots of the reined cow horse sport tied to the West Coast," explained Ted Robinson, chairman of the NRCHF and one of the founders of the Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity. "With over four decades of reined cow horse competition history in Reno, partnering with the Reno Livestock Event Center to create a permanent museum in Reno that will promote the reined cow horse industry and share its history is a perfect fit."
Museum exhibits will feature historical photos, tack, trophies and videos of inducted Hall of Fame horses that have proven to be extraordinary in the reined cow horse competition over the years, and inducted people who have been recognized for their years of commitment to the industry and preserving the heritage of the reined cow horse sport.

You really should consider hosting an elegant and eerie dinner party. Sounds great, right? Now..... are you looking for some inspiration to set a spooky table?
We all know the table can really set the mood for any dinner party.... and don't let Halloween be the exception. Here's a fantastic setting for that intimate Halloween dinner party, for the adult party-goers.
Create a tall grim centerpiece by filling a three-tier cake stand with various Halloween decor. Fill the centerpiece with glittery skulls, bones, spray-painted Christmas ornaments and a silver witch's hat. And don't forget the miniature skulls on the plates and add crystal elements to the table, with candle holders and wine glasses. Isn't it just BOO-tiful?!

Facebook and IOS7admin
I was wondering what all the fuss was about with IOS7 so thought I'd find out… There's some great features and changes to apps, which I've detailed below..
First however, I'd like to talk about videos with Facebook.
Videos within your timeline will automatically start to play. Originally when videos appeared in your timeline they didn't have any sound, now they do!'
The video will be silent, however you can select it to play sound and open in full screen mode.
If you're brave enough you have downloaded IOS7!!!
The changes have been greeted with mixed reports from customers, some slating the new design and others commenting "it's like having a brand new phone!"
The Facebook app has been redesigned to cope with IOS7. These changes include: new menu at the bottom of the screen improving navigation. The changes are said to improve user experience. The app has also been designed to fit in with the look of IOS7.
The question is now do you dare to upgrade!?
Over and out

I recently purchased one of these covers but it does not make the Kindle go to sleep or wake up and that was one of the main reason I bought it. It is a brand new Kindle Fire HD so I assume it is working ok.
