MAJDEL ANJAR, LEBANON—Ziad*, a 48-year-old construction worker from the suburbs of Damascus, lives with three other Syrian families in a tiny, two-room, cement block shed at the back of cluttered construction site in Majdel Anjar, a town near the main border crossing between Lebanon and Syria.
Fourteen of them share the space.
The shed clings to a lot where a large indoor swimming pool is being built behind a four-storey stone villa that belongs to a doctor from Beirut.
The home is palatial, with marble floors and large, dark-glazed windows that look out at the hills fringing the Bekaa Valley. Ziad's shed is surrounded by rubble and rusting iron bars. The three families share its $100 monthly rent.
"I work as a painter when I can," Ziad says. "I got a project here with a local mayor and I painted all his house and refinished all the doors. But he paid me only $300. He still owes me $600. But he held it back, saying he did not like the work.
"That was an excuse. They just take advantage of us. What can we do?"
Ziad, his wife, Sabita, and their four children, aged 6 to 18, have been living in Lebanon for almost three years. They used to live in a garage but were evicted when the landlord found Syrian families willing to pay more.
Now, all their belongings are stuffed in plastic bags and cardboard boxes in the corner of the room where the women and children sleep. During the day, the room serves as a living room and nursery.
Sabita sits cross-legged in the centre of the floor complaining that her family is about to be excluded from receiving aid from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
The UNHCR has been trying to raise $1 billion for its relief operations for Syrian refugees, but so far this year has met only 30 per cent of that target. So it is cutting back excluding families with men of working age.
"I didn't want to come here in the first place," Sabita says. "But he (Ziad) convinced me for the children's sake.
"How can my husband work? He has kidney failure and a kidney stone. He has a hernia and needs an operation. If we lose our help, I will go back to Syria and commit suicide.
"If I am excluded, I will make myself available to the sniper. I'll sit at the feet of (Syrian President) Bashir (Assad) rather than die here in poverty and misery."
*Why only the first name is used.
Syrian refugees fear that if reporters used their full names, there might be reprisals if they returned home, or family still in Syria might be targeted.
Syria's refugees have lost everything, in some cases even their names.
Many Syrian refugees insist on shielding their true identities and ask reporters to use only their first names, which was the case with these Atkinson stories. Others demand pseudonyms. International aid agencies working with the refugees encourage the practice because, in the Internet age with its infinite digital memory, refugees who return home might one day be held to account, or family members still trapped in Syria might suffer from association with them and what they say.

He laid hands on the man's eyes a second time and he saw clearly.
Have you ever noticed that Jesus is never in a hurry? Instead of acting right away, Jesus gently led a blind man to a place where they could be alone. He then prayed with him and took the time to ask how well he was seeing. Then he prayed with him again, until his vision was completely restored.
We do not know why this miracle happened in stages, but it is clear that the ongoing interaction between Jesus and this man reveals an important aspect of God's plan for healing.
We all know what it is like to beg God to heal a sickness or an inner wound caused by divided relationships. Sometimes he answers right away, giving a powerful witness to us and the people around us. But it seems that he is more likely to take his time. We experience a partial healing, but the illness remains. We are more at peace and more forgiving, but there is still a sting to the inner wound.
We do not know exactly why God takes his time with us. This is one of the great mysteries of our faith. But we should never think that Jesus is indifferent to our needs. Our healing matters to him, but it seems that there are times that he wants to heal us on a deeper level than we are looking for.
Perhaps he wants to build our trust in him. Perhaps he delays to strengthen our faith. Or perhaps he wants our humble surrender to him to testify to the people around us. Whatever the case, we can be sure that every time we come to Jesus for healing, he hears us and answers us. Every time we come to him, he touches us a little more deeply and asks, "Do you see me more clearly now?"
You may be suffering physically. You many have a deep emotional or psychological hurt. Your healing may come incrementally instead of all at once. Trust that Jesus is healing you. A deep hurt can take time to mend; it can require a gradual letting go. But each step along the path helps you to see Jesus more clearly, and that is the most important healing of all.

Counting the Homeless
to Better Deliver Services
More than 8,000 volunteers spread out across 4,000 square miles on three winter nights to conduct the 2018 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count.
The data from the federally mandated census will offer a comprehensive look at the state of homelessness in Los Angeles County on any given night, including geographic distribution and trends among various populations. It will be released to the public in May.
Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas counted in North Hollywood on the first night, Carson on the second night, and Leimert Park on the third night.
"The Count will help us identify where resources are most needed and measure progress as nonprofits ramp up their services to a level never seen before, thanks to Measure H," he said, referring to the 1/4-cent sales tax approved by voters on March 2017 to generate about $355 million annually to end and prevent homelessness.
"Thanks to Measure H, LA County's public and nonprofit partners are gearing up to house 45,000 men, women and children over the next five years, and prevent homelessness for 30,000 others," added the Supervisor, who championed Measure H. "Each of us has a part to play in helping resolve this humanitarian crisis and this includes the essential work of the 8,000 volunteers who participate in the Homeless Count."
"Every Angeleno counts, whether they have an address or not," Mayor Eric Garcetti said at a press conference to kick off the Count. "This year's count takes on new importance because it will help us better target and deliver the permanent supportive housing, emergency shelter, and ongoing services that Angelenos made possible when they voted for Prop. HHH and Measure H."
Proposition HHH, passed in November 2016, would finance the construction of 8,000 to 10,000 permanent supportive housing units for the chronically homeless over the next decade. It would also fund affordable housing, temporary shelters and other amenities needed by the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.
"In the face of one of the most fraught epidemics our city has faced, the Count is our opportunity to make a difference," City Controller Ron Galperin said at the press conference. "Homelessness is experienced in every part of our city, and by children and adults; however, without a proper accounting of exactly where our most vulnerable are – including homeless veterans, teens or those escaping domestic violence – we may not be able to adequately help those in dire need. Please join me in making sure that everyone counts."
"Good policy starts with having good information," Councilwoman Nury Martinez added. "The data from tonight's count will go a long way toward determining where resources are most urgently needed and how they should be applied."
"The results of the Count help us implement the best strategies to meet our homeless neighbors' needs, together," said Stephanie Klasky-Gamer, President and CEO, the nonprofit LA Family Housing.
The "street count" occurred in the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita, as well as the San Gabriel Valley, on January 23. It moved to West LA, the South Bay and East Los Angeles on January 24, and in the Antelope Valley, South LA and Central LA on January 25.
In addition to the "street count," a "shelter count" was also conducted, during which shelters and transitional housing programs counted the number of people in their programs. The Youth Count is a survey-based count during the last two weeks of January. The final component is one-on-one interviews with 6,000 people to capture demographic information.

Formal description: The Intermediate Ballet class, taught by Marianna, is for more experienced ballet dancers, based on a free syllabus, with new exercises every week of about intermediate level. However, the level of the class will vary depending on the level of attendants. This is a fun but challenging class that aims at improving your technique and get you dancing, with particular focus on adagios and allegros.
Slightly more informal: most of the dancers attending this class have had a few years of experience and then took a break and wanted to start again once they got back to Uni. The class is extremely friendly in terms of both teachers and other dancers and you can really do as much or as little as you want/can do. Marianna is an absolutely amazing teacher and I think if you give the class a try you will fall in love with her.

When I was a child, my dream is to be a ballerina. It's sad that I haven't been able to pursue that because of some family issues. Now that I have my own child, I want her to take ballet lessons. I know I'm kind of pushing it to her but I'll make sure to stop if she doesn't want to take the lessons anymore. Luckily, my husband is very supportive to me and my daughter.

The smaller the AC PK size you buy, the smaller the electricity consumption. One way to save home AC electricity is to buy the lowest PK air conditioner, which is ½ PK. This can be a solution for those of you who have rooms under 10 m2. Although the AC with the lowest PK is indeed energy efficient compared to AC with a larger PK size, you still have to adjust the AC PK size according to the area of your room. AC 1/2 PK will not be useful if used to cool a room measuring 24 m2. On the other hand, you can go to Finansis.se if you require excellent financing tips.
Well, for those of you who have difficulty to determine the size of the PK when you want to buy air conditioning, measure the size of the room that will be fitted with AC first.
Avoid Adjusting the Temperature Below 24 Degrees
I mean you want to cool the room with AC, but the use of electricity is becoming increasingly wasteful. Well, this can be caused by incorrect temperature settings. Take your AC remote and check the temperature settings.
Setting the AC temperature below 24 degrees Celsius will only make electricity use more wasteful. How to save home AC electricity is to adjust the temperature of the AC not less than 24 degrees Celsius. Use a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius as the maximum temperature setting. Don't set the AC temperature to 23, 22, especially 16 degrees Celsius if you don't want your electricity bill to soar.
Choose AC with Energy Saving Feature
When you want to buy air conditioning, ask the shop staff to explain each feature on the AC-AC that you choose. Different brands and types, also different features available. One of the features that must be in an air conditioner is the energy saving feature, aka low wattage. Low wattage air conditioners are equipped with compressors that use less electricity than standard air conditioners. In fact, energy-efficient air conditioners can save 20-30% electricity consumption every month.
However, you need to remember that low wattage air conditioners are generally priced at more expensive prices.

An adventurous life, laced with dangers, inconveniences, and humour, has been the lot of one-room school teachers in the wilds of British Columbia since 1850. The authors, themselves former teachers, interviewed over one hundred people, teachers and students, and then organized this early education information into an interesting history of British Columbia's smallest schools.
These one-room boxes, whether an abandoned barn or log cabin, became vital to their communities, but the young teachers, suddenly thrust into these vast wilderness areas, suffered extreme culture shock. Today, "in search of an acceptable level of challenge, discomfort, and culture shock... young teachers take their summer holidays in places like the Himalayas or Tuktoyak-tuk," or, as in my district, in Sri Lanka and Kenya.
Floating Schools and Frozen Inkwells is similar to The One-Room School in Canada, by Jean Cochrane. However, Floating Schools has more text and is exclusively about British Columbian schools. The strap has not been used in the province's schools since 1973, and it is of interest to learn that it was a single incident in a one-room school that brought about the strap's removal. Many hardships were suffered by the young educators, and in the late twenties a teacher's welfare officer was appointed. Miss Bowron, from Barkerville, was the first tireless-traveller who took solace and wisdom to lonely teachers. Throughout the book there are many stories of unique schools, special situations, romances, feelings of loneliness, frights, and small town idiosyncrasies.
There seems to be an historical error concerning the Peace River area in 1936. It is stated, "Large numbers of homesteaders had arrived in that area after the Harl Highway and the railway made it accessible to the south of the province." The Hart Highway was not opened until 1952 and the P.G.E. did not get there until about 1960.
Floating Schools and Frozen Inkwells is a welcome addition to British Columbia's history shelves arid will appeal to many, especially any teachers, past or present. Black-and-white photos and index included.

The social media streets today have become a platform that people not only use to promote their businesses but also to find love. Lvovo's attempt to flirting with model Thick Leeyonce had him publicly rejected.
Following Lvovo's request on the models' timeline, Thick Leeyonce hilariously responded to the musicians' tweets asking him to stop taking shots at her as she is "not amused."
Apart from the fact that Thick Leeyonce has been talking about being in a loving relationship with her mystery man, the model humiliated Lvovo by calling him uncle, showing him that she had no interest in being with him – as she's taken – but also exposing their age difference.
We will update you on any development regarding the story.

Mass flow dynamic modeling and residence time control of a continuous tubular reactor for biomass pretreatment⟶
This work presents a dynamic discrete model that describes the mass flow and residence time behavior in a pretreatment continuous tubular reactor using lignocellulosic biomass as feedstock. The model consists of a set of linear difference equations that accurately describe the output flow as a function of the operation conditions. Model parameters account for mechanical and rheological properties of different lignocellulosic biomass, as well as complex backflow phenomena commonly encountered in these reactors. The proposed dynamic model was experimentally validated for wheat straw and corn stover. Additionally, a control strategy was proposed for the residence time and was correctly validated through simulations.

Spoilers Ahead
Aha! Nope I have nothing creative to say.
Episode Summary: Graceland agents work together to frame Ari for Layla's murder but they fail miserably when Colby loses his life due to the fact that Ari suspects him of everything that's happened throughout the day. And that's pretty much it?!
Review | Analysis: Tonight's episode was aesthetically pleasing in terms of black and white/single colored object contrast; however, other than that, it's without a doubt my least favorite episode in the entire series. It spent way too much time on our villain as opposed to on our ensemble cast thereby, I feel I have very little to analyze, and this review it feels strange.
I don't have a lot to say but there are some things I need to cover so let's get to it.
We all know Mike's not really done with prescription medication, so when will the rest of the team know? Prayer circle it's sooner rather than later. On a much lighter note, awesome parallels are always worthy of acknowledgment and I loved the bit with Charlie doing Mike's (undercover) makeup. It was a graceful tie to the very first episode only this time, Mike wasn't the nervous newbie about to embark on a deadly mission. These are the little moments that played an enormous part in me falling in love with the series and it's nice to pay homage to them three years later. At the end of the day, while guest stars on Graceland are always intriguing, nothing comes close to the intimate moments shared between the agents themselves.
Also, Johnny and the situation with Carlito – prayer circle it happens sooner rather than later. I am however, really loving the fact that it's givingJakes and Johnny an opportunity to bond a little. I loved that while in the first season Johnny and Jakes were constantly at each other's throats, this season we're given moments where the men ultimately try to understand one another. They've learned how to work together as a team, and with Jakes especially, he's the only one who's grasped the fact that they're truly a family and must always have each other's back. He may not say it often, but it's undeniable that he cares deeply for each of them. Jakes reminds me of an older sibling – they'll boss you around and pick on you, but if anyone else said anything bad about you, they'd be first in line to kick their a#$.
Briggs' case with Ari gets worse and worse by the second thus, judging by the trailer, this isn't going to end well. And because of him, Colby who had been retired paid the price. While innocent people will die in their line of work sometimes, at this point, too many lives are at risk and it's disgusting to me that this is a form of punishment for Briggs. Yes, let's just keep Ari and the Sarkissian family on the streets when we're aware of the horrors they're capable of. Smooth, FBI – real smooth.
And in terms of aesthetics, as I said above, I loved the black and white/color contrast. It did a great job of creating something different than what we often see with crime shows by giving us an enjoyable Noir feel. The fact that most of the colors were in the reds gives us the idea that things are going to get really ugly before they get great. Symbolically reds tend to represent passion/love/desires – but in this case, it could easily represent rage/fire and the idea that there will be flames that must be put out properly before everyone's burned in the process. However, the only way to properly do that is to work as a team and they're begin to do so gracefully but will they be able to keep it up as time goes by? Let's hope. Please and thank you.
And my final issue – I have no idea what language Ari and Martun were speaking at one point, but it most certainly didn't sound Armenian. And when Ari did speak Armenian it was so quick the words didn't even sound the way they're supposed to. In other words, I had to put the volume all the way and press replay a few times in order to pick things up. I probably caught one or two words and I've been speaking it my entire life. I know it isn't the easiest language to speak especially because we have so many different accents, but it would've been preferable as a viewer if he just continued speaking English rather than his Armenian coming off unnatural.
And that's a wrap on this review, folks – apologies on the lack of analysis, but there's really nothing else to discuss. If there is something you've picked up on that you'd like me to cover, let me know and we shall do so. Thank you x

U.S. futures are rebounding in the wake of two good jobs reports.
At 8:15, ADP told us the private U.S. companies added 188,000 payrolls in June. This was better than the 160,000 expected.
At 8:30, we learned that initial weekly jobless claims fell to 343,000 from 348,000 a week ago. Economists were looking for a reading of 345,000.
Dow futures are down 37 points and S&P futures are down 4.5 points.
Before the reports, Dow futures were down 72 points and S&P futures were down 8.5 points.
Treasuries are selling off.
Here's a look an overnight look at Dow futures via FinViz:

Sparklestation is a district in the vast Losangelic Station in Kroy territory. "Sparklestation" is often used colloquially to refer to the Kroy film industry, however, much of that industry has moved into adjacent sectors of the station.
Even so, it is home to many of the Kroy Territories biggest stars, and some of its biggest hopefuls. People across the Galaxy arrive daily in the hopes of becoming stars, though very few ever live up to their dreams. Many of the largest film sets and production companies are still based on Sparklestation, and more celebrities have homes on Sparklestation than any other place in the Galaxy.
For all its glamour, Sparklestation is also known for its dark side. Pornography feeds off of young women seeking to start a career, and drug use runs rampant among even the most successful of celebrities. Robberies and murder are also common, though it barely effects the tourism market.

The Campaign
Why women? Campaign was a project funded by City Parochial Foundation, Big Lottery Fund, Lloyds TSB Foundation and the Association of London Government.
The aims of the campaign was to call upon the government to put gender back on the agenda by:
- Acknowledging the systematic disadvantage women face because of their gender
- Publicly recognizing and adequately funding the essential services the women's sector provides to address this.
- Change lives
Women's organisations provide comprehensive services for some of the most vulnerable women whose needs are not being met by government agencies or other charities. Without women's organisations, these women would not have the support and opportunities to change their lives.
- Stop violence against women
Violence against women is happening in epidemic proportions in the UK. A women is raped every half an hour and a woman is killed by her partner or ex-partner every three days. Women's organisations challenge the root causes of violence, and support the huge number of women survivors.
- Promote equality and human rights
Women's organisatoins have fought hard for the rights women (and men) take for granted today. But there is still a 16.4% full time gender pay gap between men and women. 1in 4 women experience domestic violence over their lifetimes; and oly 22% of MPs in the UK are women. Few of the advances in women's equality would have happened without the tireless campaigning undertaken by women's organisations.
- Provide solutions that work
Women's organisations are specialists in their fields and empower women through peer support and reaching the 'hard to reach' communities of women that would otherwise fall through the gaps in provision. Without women's organisations, there would be a loss of expertise in how to meet women's needs.
- Provide women only spaces
Women's organisations provide safe, women only spaces, where women feel they can talk openly, be comfortable and be understood. Many women, when given the choice, will choose women-only services to get support. Without women's organisations, there would be nowhere for women to go to access services run for women, by women.
- Provide value for money
Women 's organisations provide high quality holistic and cost effective services. Women's organisations save the public money by ensuring problems do not escalate or happen in the first place. Without women's organisations, the economic and social costs to society and individuals would be much higher.
The report from our work in 2006 can be found here: WRC Why Women Report 2006
We decided to follow up on this project 12 years later and created an updated report showing the current climate for women and women's organisations: WRC Why Women Report 2018

A few days before starting this project, I attended a talk about self care for artists and designers. The speaker did well in covering basic care techniques, but couldn't answer any of the questions students asked. These were serious questions that everyone often asks themselves, and I felt that they needed to be addressed.
After that experience, I became extremely aware of how stressed and doubtful the people around me were. So many of my friends were pulling all-nighters, sometimes multiple in a row. I felt compelled to make this project to tell people that:
In a field like design, where the only effort we can put in is time, it's hard to admit that we need to take a break sometimes. We get exhausted and stressed over perfecting projects and how our futures depend on our work. But it's ok to take a break and it's important to take care of yourself.

Strutt & Parker are currently preparing for the fourth Open House day on Saturday October 3rd. Strutt & Parker offices throughout the country will be offering potential buyers a chance to view as many properties as they choose. All you have to do is register your interest with your local branch and be sent an invitation. The hard part will be choosing which properties to view first!
Houses will be open for people to view between 10am-4pm. This as a very relaxed approach, potential buyers are not feeling the pressure of time slots and an estate agent being with them through every step of the house. "This is a concept that works really well with our buyers as they get the chance to see as many properties as they wish in a single day, we anticipate that over 2,000 properties will participate".
With properties from £200,000 to £5,000,000 plus, there will be something for every price range and every need.
For more information call your local Strutt & Parker office.

Thank you so much for a fantastic summer of golf. I laughed, cried and was an angry elf more than once but I had a blast. Time really did stand still, it wasn't boring or repetitive. I remember just about every Thursday afternoon with fond memories.
Congratulations to Captain Roy L'Esperance, Nick Rinna, Michael Sirotkin, Roy Sokolowski, David Chafetz and Keith Saunders for an overwhelming victory in our Winners bracket the Pro V1 division.
Team Cameron landed in second place in Pro-V1 with help from Paul Pecor, Brian Saltzman, JC Williams, Germain Mopa and Gary von Stange. Team Sleep took home the Third place prize lead by Rookie Captain Kevin Sleeper, Ryan LaVallee, Hank Barnes, Rich White, and Mark Levinsky.
Congratulations are also due for Captain Joel Dube, Anthony Esposito, Matt Bieber, Tom Kazak, Michael Lipson and Hal Evans from Team 1. They came from behind, had a great late season and took the top spot in our Top Flite division. In second place was Team 5 Liebgott with Ravi Vellapan, Ben Mallory, Michael Cheeseman, Bill Geiger and Michael Kehoe. In third place was Rookie Player and Rookie Captain Jake Loeffler who stepped up and guided Dylan Lavallee, Bob Stewart, Sam Handy, Steve Pintauro and Doug Cauchon to a great year.
Congratulations to Doug Johnson who not only earned Rookie of the Year but also Player of the Year. With a smile on his face Doug won almost every match, many by grinding it out in the last few holes. Paul Mayer took home the Undefeated award lasting the entire year (8-0-3) without a loss.
If you look at the names listed above I think it's important to note that 8 of the people who won money this year were brand new members. Jake Loeffler had three on his team alone.
I've played this game long enough to know that character defines the game. While the rest of the country is losing membership and golf courses on a daily basis, VNCC is growing. It's because you define this experience, this character. Nearly 2 thirds of our members played every single match. That's remarkable, especially for a Thursday night.
I laughed more this year than in any year I can remember. I also lost just about every match, thank you Ravi. It's not now, nor ever has been about winning or losing it's about the friends we meet along the way. Thanks for sharing this summer with me, I'll always remember the time we spent together.
And it's only 210 days until we start it golf all over again. In the meantime you can still enjoy a bit of Fall Golf and our regular Thursday night Poker game.
See you in the Spring! Play Well.

Today scientists recognise seven species of sea turtles, which developed from a single, unique group that separated from other turtle species over 100 million years ago. This group then split into two families, Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae.
The cheloniidae include six of the existing species: loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) and flatback (Natator depressus). Dermochelyidae is represented solely by the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), which lacks the hard shell that characterizes other marine turtles. Of these seven species, only 3 still nest on the beach of Campamento Majahuas: olive ridley, black turtle (also known as Pacific green turtle, Chelonia mydas agassizi) and leatherback.
The most common species nesting at Majahuas is the olive ridley, historically known for its 'arribadas'. This is a mass nesting phenomenon, where thousands of turtles come to shore to nest over a short period. The occurrence of these arribadas however, had declined considerably by the 1980's due to over exploitation of sea turtle populations by their main predators, humans. Today there is only one beach left on Mexico's Pacific coast where these arribadas take place. Although many olive ridley populations have responded well to conservation efforts and are now stable or increasing in numbers, it is important to continue with such efforts in order to ensure that a repeat of past declines is prevented.

Law Firm Partners' Battle: 'Burn the Place to the Ground'
The scorched earth legal battle over the Cellino & Barnes law firm has escalated, with one of the partners threatening to "burn the place to the ground," according to court papers.
The New York Daily News reports that Stephen Barnes argued that his estranged partner Ross Cellino's effort to dissolve the firm spells "financial suicide" for both of them, according to documents filed last week in a Buffalo court.
"The move, Barnes says in papers, would kill one of the most successful personal injury firms in the country," writes reporter Stephen Rex Brown. "The Buffalo-based firm will earn Cellino and Barnes $12 million each in 2017 alone, papers say."

The Internet has been around some three years, so naturally, everyone ought to know how to build an effective Web-site by now, correct? Of course not! The store has been around for centuries, yet not every business works. How can this be?
The customer is a finicky musikdev.jimdavislabs.se breed. It really is impossible to please everyone who takes place by your Web-site, but there are several standard parts you must present. Just as just about every retail outlet is not going to sell off the same merchandise; it will be familiar with consumer's standard expectations of computer. Each probably will express the merchandise it offers conspicuously, provide types of its item for buyers to see, display its info, and have an individual on site who can tackle customers. A similar formula relates to creating an efficient Web site.
Here are some Web site MUST haves:? A inviting home page made up of keywords and phrases to attract search engines;? A great 'about us' web page that displays your credibility;? Successes and testimonies by satisfied clients or customers;? A 'call to action' or perhaps the prices web page that plainly expresses the merchandise or service's conditions;? A visible let us know web page; and? A web press system that provides the mass media because of the equipment it takes to create or report with your organization or perhaps group, as well as backlinks or copies of advertising insurance policy coverage you've previously experienced (check just for reprint permissions just before giving clones of personalised material).
Here are several details on each of these Internet site elements.
Your house Page: Will i fit in here? The really expression home evokes level of comfort for anyone. Home is nice, inviting, and comfortable, and so when your Web site's home page. You could have seconds to impress upon a Web visitor in which to stay your site don't scare persons off with flashy graphics that consider forever to load, or need them to offer you any personal data whatsoever only to enter your blog.
Think having an individual party about in the storefront's doorway, stopping clients right from getting into or necessitating these to give all their name and phone number ahead of beginning the doorway. No buyer might put up with that sort of treatment.
The instant somebody grows to the Website; they will ask themselves "do My spouse and i fit in here? " They could not really recognize they're requesting that, but are. A person in search of pet equipment so, who comes to visit might anticipate finding dog stuff certainly not the individual Website of somebody whose moniker is Dogstuff. Make sure that your goods and services is definitely highlighted conspicuously on your own homepage. We all need to know if they are in the right place as quickly as possible.
Ideas change when it comes to content material to the webpage, but pretty much all Site designers recognize that when your home-page is likely to characteristic virtually any phrases, cause them to become text associated with site's business or business. This is one way search engines like google discover Websites through keywords attached to the home web page. If essentially provides family pet equipment, then terms like pet resources, doggie foodstuff, dog collars, and flea medicine , can be successful keywords. the location to find puppy stuff probably would not always be.
Likewise, if you present any sort of subscription, including an eNewsletter, you will need to struck guests over the mind with it instantly.
Section Two: Do I trust these individuals? Folks are quite cautious with regards to getting products or services over the internet. Your Site need to provide you with proof of your business or organization's authority. Whom are you? What are you all about? Employ customer feedback and turn to high-profile clientele.
If the business or organization is actually new, don't mention that. The only time you should probably put around years in business is normally when you hit ten. If you are covered inside the media, refer to it below. Better yet, present them the link to your web based press system in this area. Persons generally tend to trust businesses and companies more if perhaps they've been covered by the media.
Section Three: What is in that for me? When your Web visitor has moved past your house page and finds one to be reliable, he or she will want to know if you possible could really provide them with what they want. What is unique with regards to your business or organization compared to your competitors? That's where you differentiate yourself. Are you budget-friendly? Will you guarantee your projects? Are there any wonderful deals offered? Even though they've ventured away from site's front door, you still ought to convince any visitors that they are in the right place. Reinforce this by giving examples.
Section Several: How much? The reason most of the people employ Websites to understand with regards to a business, group, or perhaps system is mainly because they will are not ready to grab the phone and speak to someone. They need to explore issues on their own and produce their decisions with out dealing with almost any product sales pressure. They might not really be ready a subscription, sign up or perhaps get and they are just in search of tangible data. As you do not display the costs of your goods and services in your Website, that hampers the visitor's encounter.
Always be up front regarding pricing and terms. In the event the cost of a thing depends on the customer's particular requirements, explain that. For instance, a wall daily news outlet may not be able to provide a customer a precise cost of wallpapering a certain room without that room's styles. In most cases, the consumer will realize that. Simply saying call for rates, is a let down.
Section Five: How do i get in touch with you? The truth is, your Web-site is never going to response every single customer's issue. The typical expectation of all Web site visitors is to locate the E mail us hyperlink mainly menu or along the footer. If you can, make an effort to provide the email treat dissimilar automatically beginning the visitor's email-based method. Not everyone uses the email software on the computer because their lone way of conversation. It is usually far better schedule a webpage of the Web-site made up of your physical address, cellular phone and fax amounts and e-mail business address.
If certain questions should go to certain people, provide that information too. People prefer to think they are really getting to an appropriate person when they complete a email us form, or e-mail a question.
Additional Basic Rules Site design does not embark on and end with these types of five segments. Featuring additional solutions and backlinks to customers, eNewsletters, and message boards are as well ways to continue to keep people coming back to your site. Generally, you need to be certain your blog is easy to navigate and kept up-to-date. Have friends or fellow workers test it away as youre designing or having that designed. Bear in mind, your Web page is your electronic location. Take those steps to attract and keep customers the first time you build, because there is absolutely nothing more frustrating (or costly) than needing to shut down to get repairs.

High pressure area "Marcel" with his strong east wind is giving us fantastic autumn light.We leave Goslar and pass the multi-coloured forest, the hills and the shining lakes of the Harz. The air is so clear that every piece of the nature can be seen in its unique colour. WOW !
The Harz is a special area, the nature looks old and untouched. In the shadow of the hills, the woods are dark and seem a bit eerie. It´s not hard to imagine that every moment, a witch or the seven dwarfs are coming around the corner. No wonder that the Harz is known for its legends of the witches, here is the Blocksberg situated where the witches dance every year on the 30th of April.
So we are not surprised that our interview partner, a 47 years old woman from Clausthal, tells us that she has been a witch in a former life and that she was burned then. We like the big old wooden houses in hilly Clausthal and the diversity of the neighbourhoods.
In the golden light of the late afternoon we drive to Kassel. In the hotel lobby is a cowboy-party, which is held by the chiropody association of Kassel. Weird.

A loosely organized street gang with fewer than 60 members and a name inspired by a cartoon has taken on near-mythical status among high school students in New York City, the police and school officials say.
The gang is called the Decepticons. Its members are said to lurk outside of city high schools - generally in Manhattan -mugging homeward-bound students and taking anything from their shoes to their earrings. Rumors have spread that they are about to ''invade'' schools. Frightened parents have kept their children home on the days of the supposed invasion.
Five Decepticons were arrested on assault charges last year and gang members were charged in 43 robberies, mostly involving thefts of clothing and jewelry, the police say. But the impact of the gang on students' psyches goes far beyond the group's reality, the authorities say. The fear of the 'Decepts' - as they are called in in teen-age shorthand - reflects a growing sense of dread that many students feel about street violence, the police and school officials say.
''Everybody's heard of the Decepticons,'' one boy said as he hurried away from a reporter outside Park West High School on Manhattan's West Side. ''They're everywhere. No. Don't use my name. They're vicious.''
So powerful is the gang's hold on the imagination of the students that they often use ''Decepts'' as a catch-all name for groups of teen-agers who commit random violence and vandalism. Giving Fear a LabelContinue reading the main story
''The reason is fear of the unknown,'' said Patricia Black, superintendent of Manhattan high schools. ''It's easy to label that fear 'Decepticons.' I think the kids are expressing a fear that is very prevalent in our society. The fear of violence.''
Sgt. John Galea, the commander of the New York City Police Department's youth gang intelligence unit, said: ''There's a reality to the Decepticons, but there's also a myth.
''The reality is that they exist,'' the sergeant said. ''The myth is that they are all over the place in large numbers and that's simply not true. In the 50's, there was a gang called the 'Fordham Baldies.' They were always supposed to be coming to cause trouble, but nobody ever saw them.''
The fear has grown in a city that has seen hundreds of youth gangs come and go over the last four decades. It also comes as old-style youth gangs - based on turf or ethnicity - are in decline. In the early 1970's, the city had about 400 such gangs with close to 20,000 members, Sergeant Galea estimated. Now there are 37 known gangs with about a thousand members. Drug Rings Outrecruit Gangs
The Decepticons are the largest gang today, with 56 members known to the police, but would merely have been a division in the gangs that reigned 15 years ago, like the Savage Skulls and the Tomahawks. The old-style gangs have dwindled largely because drug rings, using big money as a lure, have recruited their potential members.
The police first became aware of the Decepticons in 1986. Seargeant Galea said the gang has lasted longer than he expected, probably because of its catchy name. Other gangs with more bulky titles have come and gone in the last three years. One group, calling itself the Tonka Trucks, lasted but a few months.
The Decepticons is a part-time, commuter gang. Members live mostly in Manhattan and Brooklyn with a few in the Bronx. The gang has no headquarters or particular neighborhood that it calls its own. Instead, the sidewalks and subway stations near city high schools are its turf, the police said.
Decepticons members range in age from 15 to 22. Some are enrolled in high schools in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Others are dropouts. Started in Elite School Only a few are what Sergeant Galea described as ''hard-core'' Decepticons. About 14 Decepticons are girls, who are called ''Deceptinets.'' ''They're just as bad as the guys,'' said one teen-ager, who said he was afraid to give his name.
Sergeant Galea said the gang started in the corridors and lunchrooms of Brooklyn Technical High School in the Fort Greene section. It is one of the city's so-called elite high schools where an entrance examination is required.
''You can be smart and still be bad,'' the sergeant said.
The gang pilfered its name from a set of wicked cartoon characters in ''The Transformers,'' which is broadcast Sunday mornings in the New York area on WPIX-TV. The Decepticons have the ability to transform themselves from trucks and cars into missile-spewing robots.
Typically, gang members ride the trains into Manhattan, converge at one of the busy subway transfer stations and troop to a school. There, during lunchtime or after classes, they socialize on a nearby street corner and occasionaly mug a ''kid that looks scared,'' Sergeant Galea said. The gang operates almost exclusively during the school week. On weekends, the police rarely hear reports about the gang. An 'Ad Hoc' Gang
Edward Muir, chairman of the of the United Federation of Teachers school safety committee, described the Decepticons ''as an ad hoc gang'' that appears only rarely. He said the gang members have been quiet this school year. The gang's favorite tactic, he said, is for a dozen or so members to surround a victim and rob him.
Dwayne Brewster, an 18-year-old student at Park West High School, said: ''They find little kids, freshmen, who can't defend themselves. A lot of people are afraid of them because they jump people 20 against one. You got to have arms like an octopus to fight them.''
They sometimes carry grocery store box cutters, rocks and hammers as weapons, the police said. ''They love hammers,'' said Officer Thomas G. Feeley, who patrols an area of Manhattan's West Side that includes three high schools.
Identifying a Decepticon can be a tricky proposition. Decepticons do not wear distinctive gang colors or clothes. They easily blend in with their fellow teen-agers, dressing in the latest teen uniform: radio headsets, expensive leather sneakers and the neck-bending amounts of gold jewelry that have become as popular as saddle shoes once were.
Most of the same students who swear that Decepticons are everywhere admit that they have never seen one. Rumored Invasions
Sergeant Galea said he has had many meetings with school officials over the last three years where he has heard a common ''hue and cry'' that the Decepticons are coming to a school. When rumors of invasions sweep a school, some parents have ordered their children to stay home.
'''We get a lot of reports of the gang doing this or that, but the reports are usually baseless,'' the sergeant said.
The police and school officials say teen-agers sometimes call themselves Decepticons just to instill fear in others.
''They're not the only ones you got to watch out for,'' a 16-year-old said of the Decepticons as he stood outside Martin Luther King High School on the West Side. ''You always got to watch yourself. They're just the worst.
''I'm not afraid,'' he added, his voice laced with youthful machismo. ''Only the strong survive. I'm strong.'' Students Face More Crime
School crime is getting worse. A few years ago, Mr. Muir said, students would tell him that they protected their money from muggers by hiding it in their shoes. ''That doesn't do them any good anymore,'' he said. ''Now, they're taking their shoes.''
Like fishermen talking about the whopper that got away, students exaggerated the gang's real or imagined exploits with each telling, Sergeant Galea said. The fish stories go on. ''You know the Decepticons have a secret code,'' said Claribel Corona, 16, a Park West student, as she waited in the Union Square subway station. How do you know? she was asked. ''My girlfriend told me,'' she said. How does she know? ''Her brother told her,'' she said. ''Do you know how many people would like to know that code? And what they would give to find out? A lot. Nobody wants to get beat up by the Decepticons.''

If I had seen no species other than Cheetah during my time in the Maasai Mara I would still have come home happy, having shared so many wonderful encounters with these beautiful creatures.
In the early morning sunlight, I watched as mother cheetah stalked her prey. I watched her chase and catch her prey and take it back to her cubs to make the final kill and then I watched as they enjoyed their hard won breakfast.
Although close to death this Thomsons gazelle is still clinging to life but just enough for the cheetah cubs to learn the art of killing.
And finally the cubs move in for the kill, finishing the job the mother has started.
The face of this cub as it licks its lips shows the satisfaction of having enjoyed a hearty breakfast.
Seeing an elephant in the wild for the first time is an amazing experience. They are after all the worlds largest land mammal. I had one experience which I will never forget. It is a moment frozen in time and one I will take with me to the grave. I looked down the barrel of my lens and I was looking directly into his eye and he into mine and it was as though we made contact on a different level, neither human nor animal.
On the many occasions I encountered elephants, I had the recurring thought about poachers and how they could possibly mutilate such a beautiful creature for their tusks. All I could see was their beauty and strangely enough, despite their size, their vulnerability
This little one reminded me of a child who was "showing off", and I'm not quite sure whether it was for my benefit or to show it's mother (just out of picture) how brave it was.
We came across this particular elephant on several occasions over a few days and as you can see it was quite easy to identify as it had only one tusk.
Despite the fact that I photographed quite a few elephants on their own they were rarely alone and in most cases they were part of a large herd.

It's who you are that matters
We know many potential foster carers worry about whether or not they are the sort of people we are looking for, but there really is no such thing as the 'ideal' or 'perfect' foster carer, however a spare room is essential.
People like you foster
Every child in our care is as unique as you are, and all have different needs, so each type of fostering requires people with different skills, abilities and experiences – who you are really does matter.
Age, weight, disability, ethnicity, sexual preference will not prevent you from becoming a foster carer. It doesn't matter whether you're unemployed, work full or part-time, and having a pet does not rule you out either. We are interested in what you have to offer a child who needs fostering, rather than your marital status, income level, whether you own a house or not. You don't have to follow any religion and people from all ethnic origins are needed. Disabled people are not excluded and often experience of disability will be positively welcomed.
What we need are flexible, open, honest people who are able to consider a range of children and who can understand the difficulties these children have experienced. Foster carers will need to appreciate that children will potentially come from a wide range of backgrounds, all have different family situations, experiences, culture, heritage and religions so will all need different types of care. The important thing is that you can provide these children with loving, safe and stable homes for as long as they need.
Am I eligible to foster?
- You need a spare room
- You should be at least 21 years old
- You (or if you are a couple, at least one of you) should live in this country, or have lived here for at least one year at the time of applying to become a foster carer
- You, you partner or any adult who lives with you should have no convictions or cautions relating to any offences to do with children, or other serious offences
Is fostering right for me?
What matters most is your ability to provide a caring and stable home which will meet the needs of a child.
The greater the diversity of people and families wanting to foster, the better our chances are of finding a family to suit each child's needs. We welcome applicants from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Single people, married couples, cohabiting couples and same-sex couples can all become foster carers.
Fostering gives you choices. For example you can foster for a day, overnight, weekend, weeks, months or years. We don't expect everyone to have had their own children, but it is helpful if you have some experience or regular contact with children.
