Multiple Angle Viewing Feature For YouTube Is Now Under Trial
Viewing videos on YouTube is now going to be more entertaining and dynamic. YouTube is now working on a feature that allows the viewers to switch between different camera angles while watching a video. This feature is in its experimental mode right now and there is only one video which showcases this feature.
The video is of a live artist performance by Madilyn Bailey, a popular indie artist. The YouTube team took her performance and turned it to a multi angle video. The views show up with thumbnails and disappear once it commences. Angles can be switched using keyboard shortcuts. Though while switching, it may cause slight lags during playback. YouTube is allowing a selected few users to help in the testing of this feature.
This feature would be very gladly welcomed by sports, entertainment and concert viewers. Multiple angles would enhance the viewing experience. YouTube spokesperson told to Mashable
We want to give artists as many ways to connect with their fans as possible, and this experimental feature brings fans even further into creating the experience they want.
YouTube says the process of making these videos are automatic on the user's side, though the technology is not yet ready to be scaled by everyone. Making of these kind of videos would involve additional production cost for the video-makers.
YouTube had also announced in January a 360-degree video viewing as well and an offline viewing mode for its mobile app, which would allow users to watch a video without any data plan of Wi-Fi connection for 48 hours.

We are working to reach children of all ages, and we have developed an educational program for schools.
Our pollinator education program teaches children: how pollination works; who the pollinators are; why pollination is important to us; what things bring harm to pollinators; and finally, how we can help pollinators. Children come out with a complete picture of pollination, and this program fills many requirements for the Next Generation Science Standards! The full curriculum notes and overview can be accessed below.
The Bees Waggle 5 Week School Curriculum
Additionally, beginning this year (2016), we can offer a program through Beyond Pesticides, a 501 3(c) non-profit organization. We teamed up with them to create a lesson plan which includes the concept of Biodiversity, and how pollinators contribute to our planet's variety of life. This program is a wonderful addition to what we teach in our pollinator school program, and it can be downloaded on the provided link.
Biodiversity and Pollinators Lesson Information
If you have an eco-centric mission you'd like to turn into an educational curriculum, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we can help you make that a reality.
Let's work together to create a buzz among future generations!

Goodwife (Scots: Guidwife), usually abbreviated Goody, was a polite form of address for women, formerly used where "Mrs.", "Miss" and "Ms." would be used today. Its male counterpart is Goodman. However, a woman addressed by this title was of a lesser social rank than a woman addressed as Mistress.
"Goodwife" and "Goody" were used in England, Scotland, and Colonial America, with the earliest known use circa 1325.[1] By the mid-18th century they had become archaic outside Scotland, and they are perhaps best known today as the forms of address used in Arthur Miller's historical fiction The Crucible, in Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Young Goodman Brown", the novels Magnus by George Mackay Brown, The Witch of Blackbird Pond (name Goodwife Cruff) by Elizabeth George Speare, and Mossflower by Brian Jacques.
Although the expression "Goody Two-Shoes" is sometimes credited to the children's book The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes (1765), the expression appears as far back as a century earlier.[2]

The Barrie Colts have traded Matt Brassard to the Oshawa Generals for draft picks. Colts acquire a 2nd round pick (Kingston's) in 2017, a 3rd (Sarnia's) in 2018 and a conditional 3rd (Oshawa's) in 2020.
Last season he appeared in 28 games with Barrie. He put up 1G;3A. He totaled 13 penalty minutes and ended the season a +10.
Brassard has really stepped up this season and has been a huge part of a struggling team. With guys like former Captain Michael Webster gone to OA and Rasmus Andersson moving on, the team has struggled to really do much. Brassard has moved from a bottom six guy to a force on the blue line.
This season, over 29 games (1 more than he appeared in last season) he has already put up 5G;9A, almost quadrupling his production in about the same amount of games last season.
The Barrie native has done a great job of getting pucks towards the goal. His 105 shots on goal this season is the most of all players on the Barrie Colts and second most for defencemen in the OHL. Last season over 28 games he only got 12 shots on goal.
3 of his 5 goals have come on the power play (3rd most on Colts) and 6 power play assists (4th most on team).
We would like to wish Brassard the best of luck in Oshawa! If you get a chance Matt, try out Hollywood Cone downtown!
Colts acquire a 2nd round pick (Kingston's) in 2017, a 3rd (Sarnia's) in 2018 and a 3rd (Oshawa's) in 2020.

Building brand awareness for a small business
PUBLISHED: 12:49 19 October 2018 | UPDATED: 11:43 26 October 2018
Jamie Brown of Archant Local Impact explains how you can build brand awareness.
Your ultimate goal might be to have more people spending money with you, but there's more to the customer journey than the moment that someone parts with their hard earned cash.
Firstly, and particularly as a small business, you'll need to let people know that you exist. By building brand awareness and letting customers know who you are, more people will know about you and what you do.
Let's imagine that a business sells garden furniture. It's unlikely that the audience they want to target – consumers, probably homeowners, who live in properties with a garden, we'll presume – are all actively looking to purchase garden furniture on a constant basis. However, by putting their message in front of these people the business can build brand awareness by introducing themselves to a group of potential customers and potential future customers, as well as driving traffic and perhaps edging those who are actively seeking what they have to offer along to the next stage of their purchase.
There are a multitude of ways to do this.
Display advertising. Today's consumers might be blasted with advertising messages all day long, but by ensuring it's well targeted and relevant to who you want to reach, an effective display advert can really help to catch the eye and generate awareness.
Content marketing. Generally, we like to consume engaging, helpful information from people with relevant expertise, and as an expert in your field you're well positioned to provide it. Building these relationships with potential customers will not only help to bring traffic to your website, it will also stimulate natural interest to significantly increase your brand awareness.
Social media. In order to position yourself as the answer to a need, the customer must first be aware of what that need might be. Posting engaging and relevant content on a regular basis can help you to build an audience, and that audience is more likely to turn to you when they have a problem for which your business is the solution.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to get in touch.

One old and critical saying for any business is "Know who your customers are"
Regardless if you are trying to gain market share, grow your customer base, enter new markets, sell new products/services; it is extremely important to know who you are targeting because this will increase the probability of "getting the order".
One of the key activities in knowing who your customers are is called segmentation.
Markets are people or groups with needs, ability to purchase and buy products and or services. Examples are: the transportation industry, sports arena
Overall markets can be divided into two major sections; Business (industries) and Consumers. These are sometimes called B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumers).
Market segments are groups of potential customers with common characteristics. Examples of a segment are within transportation, sports cars or within sports, football fans.
Dividing a market into meaningful and relatively similar groups or segments is called market segmentation
Segmentation is divided into two major sub catorigies. Macro segmentation and Micro Segmentation.
In the Business markets, Macro segmentation consists of the following attributes: geographic, customer type, customer size, and product use. Micro segmentation consists of the following type attributes: purchasing criteria, purchasing strategy, importance, and personal characteristics.
In the consumer markets segmentation consists of geographic (city, metro, size, etc.), demographic (age, gender, family size, etc.), psychographic (lifestyle) and behavioral (occasions, benefits, uses).
Other considerations for defining/segmenting your targeted groups are: competitor comparisons, potential technology disruption, are the segment(s) large enough, are the segment(s) unique, are the segment(s) financially independent, are the segment(s) reachable/accessible, are the segment(s) measurable?
A well-developed segmentation plan will fail unless the following issues are addressed:
- How should the sales force be organized relative to the targeted segments?
- What services, if any, will the new segment(s) require?
- Who will provide the new services for the segment(s)?
- How do you contact the new segment?
- Can you support the new operations for each segment?
Also note that if you are considering international segments than there are many more areas to consider, which a topic is for another time.
For more information, contact us to have a more detailed discussion and also receive our Segmentation Check List.

Adria Airways Tehnika has completed the 600th third-party heavy maintenance check on a Bombardier* CRJ900* aircraft, operated by SAS.
Located in Europe, Adria Airways Tehnika is a Bombardier Authorized Service Facility (ASF) capable of performing maintenance on CRJ* Series aircraft. Since 2002, Adria Airways Tehnika has proven to provide flexible and reliable services to CRJ aircraft operators.
With over 50 years of industry experience, Adria Airways has been responsible for completing maintenance activities on various aircraft types (DC-9, MD-80, DHC-7, A320, CRJ200*, CRJ700*, CRJ900*). Due to fleet restructuring and the retirement of older aircraft types, Adria commenced its third party maintenance activities in 2002. As a result of growth in third party activities (60 percent of the revenue), in 2010 the maintenance and engineering division was reorganized as a separate legal entity as Adria Airways Tehnika. Adria Airways Tehnika has completed heavy maintenance work on over 1000 aircraft of CRJ and A320 types.

Mr President, I speak in support of the Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants (Amendment) Bill 2017. This bill has been long overdue, especially for an international city like Hong Kong. I know that most citizens in Hong Kong, including myself, have always assumed that such a ban on ivory trade in the 21st century is something that needs no debate, or many may even have thought that such ban was already in place. Unfortunately, ivory trade is one where actually Hong Kong is ranked high up there in a negative way.
I still remember vividly some of the scenes from the bills committee. During a public hearing in which a couple of rangers from Africa came all the way to Hong Kong to testify, and they were telling the story of one of their fellow rangers who was recently murdered in cold blood in Tanzania by illegal poachers. Yet, in the same hearing, local Hong Kong ivory traders were telling their side of the story, how the ivory art, craft and skills must be preserved, how it took them more than twenty years to try to get their ivory stocks down but yet the locally held stock might have actually gone up and it was none of their responsibility, and on and on. Not only did they turn a blind eye to the killings of elephants and ivory in Africa, some of them even showed a very scornful attitude toward the conservationists and even the African rangers. I remember I was so angry at such display of selfishness and so ashamed that some Hong Kong people, Hong Kong businesspersons had sunken to such a low and despicable level, that I had to apologize on their behalf to our international friends, and I had to tell our international friends that these people's attitudes were in no way representative of what the people in Hong Kong really thought about ivory trade, and that we were solidly against poaching activities, and the killing of elephants and people in Africa, all in the dubious name of protecting some art and craftsmanship. But I think this is not the kind of art and craftsmanship that we as a civilized and internationalized community in Hong Kong should see any value in preserving.
And I want to tell our Legco colleagues from the business community who are trying to label these vested interests being ivory traders as the victims, I want to say, I also am a part of the business community, and the business people I meet are all in support of a complete ban and no compensation. I am afraid this time you do not represent the views of the majority of the business community of Hong Kong.
In the bills committee, there was also considerable debate on the effectiveness of the international ban on ivory trade. Indeed, some people over the years have argued that a legal ivory trade may be more effective in saving elephants. However, I think it is clear that after considering all the evidences that are in, the international ivory trade ban is still the most effective tool we have to save our elephants from being massacred. Some said that the ivory ban approach has made prices higher and poaching more lucrative. But how much of such claim is evidence-based, and how much of it is just an excuse made by those who stand to gain the most from ivory trade.
Many academics have reminded us that legal trade backfired badly in 2008, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1989, the United Nations supposedly already banned international ivory trading. But it came at a time when Asia's economy was growing, and increasing wealth in the region still drove up demands. Since 2008, elephant poaching came back in a big way, because of new buyers in Asia.
In 2009, there was a one-off, global commercial sale of 102 tonnes of stockpiled ivory. It generated more than US$15 million, money that supposedly went to elephant conservation efforts, and local African communities. Supposedly further sales would be banned. But, what happened was this one-off commercial sales actually led to bigger demands, including from new buyers and new traders. How do you tell the traders to stop? Do you tell them to give it one last try, and then stop for good? No, they will come back for more, legally or illegally. You tell them to stop, period.
Dr Andrew Seguya, executive director of the Uganda Wildlife Authority and member of the African Elephant Coalition said, "There is no evidence that ivory sales provide any benefit for local people or elephants."
Legal ivory trade cannot help save elephants. In fact, this is not only true internationally, as our own experience in Hong Kong in the last ten to twenty years could show you clearly — the ivory traders will come back for more and more. You give them a stay on the ban, and they come back for a longer period. You give them money or other means to compensate for their stocks, they will come back for more. This is Hong Kong's experience, and if we have anything to offer to the rest of the world, we should tell them, we learned it the hard way. No extension, no compensation, because we have already seen how the ivory traders will keep on coming back for more.
I heard some colleagues in our chamber asking for government leniency to sell their stocks, but I think the five extra year of extension to take care of their stocks is already too long. Or one of our colleagues even said that the government should acquire their stocks and put them in our museums. I say no, I don't want to see these dubious "art" anymore. If I have my say, I say, burn them like opium. So, I thank the government for sticking to its original position of no compensation. This is one time you did not bend to the vested interest, and you did it right.
The fact is, elephants are dying. No, they're being killed. In 2016, a most extensive count of any wildlife species was conducted on African savannah elephants, in what was called the Great Elephant Census. Technology was used, and an almost half a million kilometers of distance was aerially surveyed, and the conclusion was that, there were only about 350,000 African savannah elephants left. That was down 140,000 since 2007. Nine years, more than a quarter gone, dead, killed. The researchers were unable to survey forest elephants, which are smaller and more reclusive, and they live in west and central Africa in the forests, and the research team wasn't able to use aerial surveying techniques to count their numbers. But, if we include them in the survey, the result could only mean that the number of elephants killed will be even higher.
To African officials, the fact that these declines are due to poaching, encouraged by ivory traders, is in no doubt. Ivory trade is a blood trade, period. Over the last twenty years, despite stepped up efforts by conservationists, the amount of seizures of smuggled ivory, and the size of the carved ivory market has become bigger and bigger. That is the evidence.
Many legislators have expressed that elephants are a beautiful species, loved by our children of all generations. But elephants are also intelligent, and research has shown that they are possibly even highly conscious as a species. The kind of kinship and family based relationship that biologists and scientists have found among elephant herds clearly indicate that they are part of a small and select group of mammals with intelligence and consciousness. Losing this species will actually also mean that scientist will have one less species to study and understanding how human beings developed our intelligence and consciousness. In this sense, while the elephants seem to be very distant from homo sapiens as a species biologically, in another way we human beings are indeed close relatives with the elephants.
Why is Hong Kong lagging behind in banning ivory trade? I think the biggest reason remains our mindset and tendency to get bogged down by the demands of the vested interests. While international ivory trade is illegal, some countries permit internal sales because it is more difficult to inquire closely within a country's border as to where the ivory tusks came from. It then is important to remember that China, the largest ivory market in the world, with an estimate of over 70% of ivory sold, has started a ban on ivory sales inside China, since the end of 2017. This is the "one country" that we have to uphold.
According to even international standards, reports have come in that China seems to be very serious about banning ivory trade. Not only that shops are closed, celebrities have come out to support anti-ivory propaganda campaigns, including celebrities like Yao Ming, the basketball star. But where are the new shops and workshops being opened now, after China? Vietnam and other of China's neighbors. Yet, we cannot use that as an excuse to say, oh, they are still doing it, so we can also continue. We should not sink to that level. Hong Kong has our international commitment to uphold and our international image to be protected. In addition, we actually have a duty to make sure that the Chinese ban will be successful, with our help, and not with us dragging the feet of the Chinese policy makers in trying to make sure the Chinese and Hong Kong ivory bans are as successful as it can be.
Outside our chamber, in the Legco protest area today, a large group of Hong Kong people including many children and young people had gathered and they were chanting "Stop Hong Kong ivory trade. 禁止香港象牙買賣!" That is their call, our call, and the call of the African elephants. Today, finally, Hong Kong is meeting the global standard of banning ivory sales. There must be no turning back. There will be no turning back.

Written by K.S.
Sometimes an enemy does not exist till you go looking for one. I have been looking for it falsely out there, beyond the far reach of my sight. Ultimately, I have discovered it to be within these walls. My very own walls. These walls that used to throb from the vibrations of our cries to meet each other, our cries of pain when longing was hitting us rawly in the heart. Our cries of pleasure when God was printing his holy sign among us on the soaked with sweat sheets.
But lately, they remain unmoved; like us.
These four lonely walls have changed the way I feel. I lean on them. I stand tall in front of them. I clean and paint them. I decorate them and still, I cannot deviate them from their cause, which is no other than to make me start running. Run away from you until I am out of breath. However, when I regain it, all I want is to breathe next to you. To share your air. Just let me lie next to you and I will even blend in with the surroundings so as not to cause you any nuisance.
This enemy inside has shown me the best place to scatter my ashes after I am gone. Press them gently with your fingers, hold them close to your beating heart for a minute and then throw them down that hill. That is the highest I have managed to reach. I was never a speaker although I am sure I have conquered all the heights of your soul.
Sometimes I see the shadow of the enemy passing me by. Breathless and tired as I am I fail to notice mine in the distant light. The enemy fears that the wall will tumble down all of a sudden, but I am the only one who loses his balance around here lately. I keep wondering what will happen to my soul if I go mad. I want to know whether it stays trapped inside between the walls or it floats free and touches the finishing line first winning the enemy. I have always tried to be the guardian of your nights protecting you from the sorrow the starless sky brings. I brought you songs to dress your dusty silence when no promising sound prevailed. I paid your loans and carried your weight when you thought you were carrying the earth instead of your body. I loved you in the fiery red burning slowly, closely my body to the flesh, and yet smoke signals are all you can see now.
From all the graves I have prayed upon there one's inscription I have kept in my heart and I will keep forevermore: "No love, no glory". That pretty much sums up all of my reality. The one that stands confidently right next to the walls, the one that has never created an enemy, the one that can breathe and flourish without you. Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness, give me the truth.
The hero perishes in the end. Sometimes he has to.

A little salt sprinkled onto the fillets balances and enhances fiery flavors from the marinade. Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) has about one-fourth the sodium of dry breadcrumbs but offers the same satisfying crunch to sautéed fish.
How to Make It
Combine the first 3 ingredients and 2 teaspoons oil in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add fish to bag; seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Remove fish from bag, discarding marinade. Brush chile off fish. Place egg whites in a shallow dish. Combine panko and rind in another shallow dish. Dip fish in egg white; dredge in panko mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining 3 fillets, egg white, and panko mixture. Sprinkle fillets evenly with salt.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn fish over; cook 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with lemon wedges.

Hi! I'm currently writing this during Day 3 of my juice cleanse. I wasn't planning on documenting about my experience, but I recall saying I would last year when I did the cleanse and never got around to doing it because I was so crabby and hungry afterwards.

Welcome to Sharing the Journey… the devotionals, articles, prayers and blog of Gail Rodgers. Gail has a passion for discovering and sharing how the Scriptures apply in practical ways to daily living.
Posted by Gail Rodgers on March 24 2017
I am happy to say that this week I have been certified with The John Maxwell Team to coach, speak and train in the principles of personal growth and leadership. Be responsible for your own growth. Every day is an opportunity to add value to others. Changing our thinking is the first step. Stay tuned….
Posted on January 15 2013
As we face the day -to -day challenges of life we are told to "trust God" with the uncertainties that worry us. Trust God with the blind corners and with that next step even when it feels there is nowhere to place your foot. It can sound so trite at times when our minds swim with the "what if" possibilities.

Book Review by: Susan Olcott
Tracks in the Snow, by Wong Hebert Yee
Topics – tracks, winter, snow
After we had exhausted ourselves skiing, sledding, and fort building, my girls and I spent the remainder of the first snow day looking at who else had been out playing atop the freshly fallen snow. In Tracks in the Snow, Wong Herbert Yee leads the reader out of a cozy house into the fields to discover who has left a set of mysterious tracks. With an inviting series of questions, Yee piques his readers' curiosity. The little girl on the story makes both wonderful scientific observations about what animals would be there at that time of year and some wacky ones like, "maybe it's a hippopotamus", both of which make her seem real. As she follows the tracks through her field, she unknowingly encounters a series of animals tucked away in nests and burrows for the winter. It is as if they are watching her instead of the other way around. And, indeed, in the end, she discovers that it is her own tracks she has been following. The story has a lovely sense of completeness as Yee ends with her sitting at a table at home with her mom drinking tea. The fuzzy pencil illustrations add to both its frosty and cozy qualities. The repetition and rhyme throughout also heighten the sense as a reader of walking along in the snow. Along with the others in his seasonal series, "Who Likes Rain, Summer Days and Nights and My Autumn Book, Tracks in the Snow captures a child's enchantment with the signs of the seasons.
Suggested Ages – This story is great for early readers who can find repeated, simple words and will enjoy the short phrases. Younger children will like the rhyme and can imagine making their own tracks along with the narrator of the story.

Thomas Cole, 1801–1848, Destruction, about 1833–1836
The Course of Empire is a series of five paintings depicting the rise and fall of an imaginary city, representing humanity as a whole. The painting Destruction, the fourth in the series, shows the complete destruction of the city while a storm rages in the background. The location is distinctly identifiable in each of the paintings, in part because of an unusual landmark: a large boulder is situated atop a crag overlooking the valley. It seems that a fleet of enemy warriors has overthrown the city's defenses, sailed up the river, and is ransacking the city and killing its inhabitants. A statue stands headless, still striding forward into the uncertain future. A detail in the lower right of the third painting in the series, "The Consummation of Empire", shows two children, maybe brothers, fighting, one clad in red and the other in green - the colours of banners of the two contending forces in "Destruction," which thus might depict a foreshadowed civil war. The children, now men, are shown, with one having finally prevailed over the other but seemingly in contemplation of the heavy price paid.

Thomas Cole (1801 - 1848) was one of the most influential painters of American Wilderness. Born in England, he moved to the United States as a young man, where he became one of the major 19th-century painters, focusing on landscapes and historic paintings. He was the first artist to get inspiration from European Romantic landscape to paint American landscape. He travelled all over France and Italy to get inspiration, that's where he worked on the 5 paintings of the series Course of Empire, which showed the rise and fall of an imaginary city, representing humanity. He is said to have inspired the creation of the Hudson River School, an art movement from the 19th century whose goal was to depict the majesty of the American landscape.
Thomas Cole was a very religious man and he often included religious themes in his paintings. He wanted to use landscape to express moral meanings, often showing destruction and the fall of civilisation.
First, the practical benefits. It is a widely held misconception that this thin layer of material is only used for aesthetic purposes. However, a tailor will look at a jacket lining as a fabric utilised to support the garment. You might notice that the very best looking suit jackets have a certain gravitas, weight and shape that anchors the entire look of a suit. You can attribute much of this 'feel' to a good jacket lining, which fortifies the structure and adds weight and heft. It may seem counter-intuitive, but the addition of the extra weight allows the garment to better sit along the contours of the body.Half vs. Fully Lined. This is not as simple as a half-lined jacket is a cost saver, it can also be a practical consideration, with half-lined generally being preferred in the warm summer months, and fully-lined for cooler winter temperatures. It is also worth noting that a lined jacket is much harder to crease.
Now to the aesthetic. The jacket lining deftly hides the interlinings, stitching and raw edges. A properly constructed jacket to sit perfectly on the body is quite a complex construction and a lining allows the remaining evidence of that complexity to be neatly hidden. Finally, to the design itself. A flat colour will complete the jacket, but a bespoke lining will make the jacket truly one of kind. Something that only increases the emotional connection the wearer has towards the garment.

Macclesfield was once the centre of the English silk weaving industry and the world's biggest producer of finished silk. The area has been printing silk for over 300 years and at one point had over seventy mills operating in the town. The town is close to a water supply that passes through limestone, and when used in washing and dyeing it gives silk a uniquely attractive lustre.
Our silk linings are printed at a mill that has been producing printed fabric on the same site for the past fifty years and the process uses water sourced from its own reservoir.

Capital stock is the total amount of stock authorized for issue by a corporation. In simple worlds it is the highest number of shares a particular company can issue. Capital stocks include both the common stocks and preferred stocks of a particular company. The exact number of shares that can be issued in the way of capital stock is normally recorded in the current balance sheet for a company. Capital stock involve all types or classes of stock that the company is authorized to issue. The basis for issuing capital stock is normally outlined in the charter of the corporation. Charter is basically a document describing the purpose,place of business, and other details of a corporation. Often, the charter will specify not only the number of shares that can be included as part of the issuance, but also define the class or classes of stock that the corporation will release for issue. Usually companies issue both common stock along with preferred stock as part of the overall strategy.
Common stocks is a primary security that represents ownership in a corporation. It benefit from appreciation of capital. Any increase in the value of stocks will result in appreciation of capital. This way, holders of common stock make some profit if they decides to sell stocks with the new market price. Common stock holders will also get dividends usually on a quarterly basis. But aside from the stock and monetary benefits for common stock holders, they also have the right to vote on some of the company's concerns like the selection of officers or board members.
Preferred stock is a type of stock that has characteristics of both common stock and fixed income securities. Preferred stock holders may not get as much profit as those with common stocks. But preferred stocks gives the holder ownership in a corporation and are said to be a more stable form of investment. It also has dividends; but these are guaranteed regardless of the market price value of stocks. Instead, the value of preferred stocks depends on the current interest rates. If these rates go up, the value of preferred stocks usually go down. And if the interest goes down, one can expect an increase in value of his/her preferred stock. Types Of Preferred Stocks
Typically, capital stocks are declared at book value or nominal value. But this value may be adjusted over time. In case where a company expands and goes into expansion, its profits may rise with the possibility of more shares being available for issuance. If indeed this happens, companies may opt to amend their charter to increase the number of capital stocks for issuance. But this process will have to go through the company's board members and are subject to business and financial laws.

Getting started with Focus on Sound
For teachers only
If you have signed up to use Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams go here
If you'd like to sign up to use Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams but haven't yet go here
If you have the MusicFirst Classroom or Rhinegold Education Online Music Classroom go here.
Standard Version using MusicFirst Application Cloud
1. Go to the URL (web address we gave you).
Ideally just click on the link we sent and save it as a favourite in your web browser. If you're in a school and you have bought a subscription, we strongly advise getting IT to set the school up with a link on a school web page.
If you absolutely have to type the address, please notice that there's no www. Don't use Google search to look for the address. Type it straight into the browser address bar at the top. You don't need the https:// Just start with the domain name we gave you.
2. Use the credentials we sent you to log on:
Please note that the password is case sensitive. That means, for instance if your password is Music1234 and you type music1234 you won't be able to log on.
3. Choose the program.
This will be Focus on Sound or the junior version, Instruments First
Before you click on the icon, please notice the School Tools button at the top. That's where you do the admin.
4. Look at the Dictionary
If you're in the main Focus on Sound program, there are two separate sections, Instruments and Sound Words. Try clicking these buttons at the top to see the difference.
5. Look at the Tests button
Notice that this too has two sections: Instruments and Sound Words. The tests in this section involve random identification of instruments and terms, as well as fixed tests. Each time you take the random tests it will be different. Questions are chosen at random.
6. Look at Lessons
Notice that the Lessons section isn't split into two sections. The section combines elements from the Instruments and Sound Words dictionaries, together with listening tests.
7. Look at the Results tab.
You won't be able to use this button until you have set up some classes. Trial users won't be able to do this.
8. Look at the other buttons
Take a quick look at the small buttons at the top. The bell icon will show in red if there's a new message from us to you. The font size button is very useful in the dictionary section and the tests. You won't see the button in the Results page.
Teachers: please send us any feedback you can. We're particularly interested in constructive criticism and suggestions (though we obviously like reading praise as well!).
Adding Classes, Students and Teachers with School Tools
School Tools is where you do all the admin, like adding student and teacher names, classes, etc. You find this button at the top of the login page. If you have Focus on Sound open now, you'll have the login page still open in a tab to the left. Here is where to find the button (though you won't be able to use the controls if you're in a trial version):
Adding individual students (or small numbers), and classes (full version only - not trial).
Please note, we don't do this for you. You'll need to do it yourself, though we can help with school lists (see below). You'll need to set up classes first if you haven't already done so, otherwise you won't be able to attach the new student to a class. To set up a new class, click on Your Classes + Add
To add individual students, click on Your Students + Add
Important - if students are not attached to classes, you won't be able to see their test results.
Preparing school lists (full version only - not trial)
Students have to log on with their own separate credentials, so you'll need to prepare a list. It might be a good idea to get IT to help.
As with any data in any software, lists must be presented in tables. A Word table is possible, but just typing a list with details separated by tabs won't work. Excel or any other spreadsheet would be a better choice.
You can export lists from school information management systems to an Excel spreadsheet. Our user page has more details. Here's the format of the list. You should aim to have all students on a single long list, with no empty rows and only one list of column headers (in the first row - as shown).
|Username (optional)
|Year group
If you don't provide a username, that's no problem. The admin software will work them out automatically. The advantage of providing your own username is that you can use the usernames the students use to log in to the computers in school - much easier to remember. You'll probably need to get these from IT.
If you're adding the data yourself, please note that the final Excel file needs to be saved as a csv file. You'll see that as one of the options in Excel 'Save as'.
You'd then go to Batch import to import the student list. You can find more instructions on our user page.
We're happy to help, though teachers should be aware that in peak times, like September there is likely to be a backlog. The more you can help us by preparing good quality lists the happier we are to help.

Kristen Stewart 'Never' Talks About Rupert Sanders To Robert Pattinson
Kristen would 'never, ever' talk about her former lover in front of Rob, as Rob is her 'number one priority,' a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY! Keep reading for more details!
Kristen Stewart has completely put her past behind her, as a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Kristen and Robert Pattinson never talk about her summer affair with her director Rupert Sanders. According to our source, "Kristen has moved on."
Kristen's life came tumbling down when her affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert was revealed in July of 2012. She and Rob broke up, but after months of working on their relationship, they have reunited and they could not be happier. Kristen does not want to rock the boat by bringing up her indiscretion, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Our source says "Kristen doesn't talk to or talk about Rupert Sanders to anyone. Unless Rob brings up his name for some reason, Kristen would never, ever mention his name. She has moved on. She is really just focused on her number one priority right now, which is Rob." Kristen clearly has her priorities in check — good for her!
As we previously reported, Kristen and Rob are enjoying some much needed downtime since they finished promoting the final Twilight film, and they are enjoying chilling out and spending time with their dogs. And, excitingly for Kristen, there is Oscar buzz surrounding her after her stellar performance in On The Road. Here's to a bright future for one of our favorite Hollywood couples!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are Rob and Kristen stronger than ever post affair?

Hello folks,
I have recently bought a Presonus Studiolive III 32R digital mixer and have been using this for a few weeks now.
Last night I came across a strange issue where the stereo balance was off on one side of a stereo pair of line inputs. After playing around for a while to get to the bottom of it and isolate the issue I found that the gain control on one of the pair was not actually changing the gain. This could be clearly heard and seen on the meter when adjusting the control and then doing the same on the correctly functioning partner input of the pair. I updated the firmware again although I was already using the latest firmware and also did a few power cycles and the same issue cropped up on the same channel. Suspecting the preamp on that channel (8) I plugged in a mic and the preamp gain control worked fine.
I then reset all of the ins and outs and routing on the digital mixer screen and the stereo pair started behaving as expected again. As soon as I start routing the inputs to the channels in the order that I want however, the issue reappears. I went around this loop twice and the same thing happened.
is this a known bug with UC Surface? I haven't had time to test all channels but at the moment I suspect that if I engage input to channel routing that isn't 1 for 1 that I loose control of the gain for the line input on one side of the stereo pair, it defaults to zero regardless of what I do with the control and the figure it displays.
Alternatively is there something silly that I might be missing?
Many thanks in advance!
P.S. I have raised a ticket for the above but thought an experienced user might put kindly me right in this forum.
I would say that this is not a typcial behavior (no bug), but there can things happening that "spontaneoulsy" change settings. For example, you should use the Soft Power function instead of just turning the mixer off. This makes sure that that present settings used are stored in the memory. A problem with electricity can also change temporary settings. Another field of problems can be network settings.
If you have your settings stored in a project/scene, the settings should be fully recallable and nothing gets lost.
Thank you for the quick reply. I did not know about the soft switch off so that is good to know.
Tonight I did a factory reset and reinstalled the latest firmware. To test I ran a stereo signal into line inputs 7 and 8 and routed these to channels 14 and 15 in UC Surface with each as separate mono tracks panned left and right. The gain control works on both as expected.
However when I then route input 14 to channel 8 all gain engaged on line input 8 is instantly lost despite it still showing as being engaged. The control turns and shows a value but does not have an affect. Am I missing something big here about the digital routing? I can route input 14 to any channel except 8 and all is well. As soon as I click on routing 14 to 8 any gain on line input 8 disappears. I was under the impression any hardware input can be routed to any digital channel? Or are some combinations problematic?
It might be that you're thinking a little bit into the wrong direction. You can not route a signal TO a channel, you can only select the source where the signal comes FROM. As example: If you want to use analog input 8 for channel 14, you have to "tell" channel 14, that its analog input source is channel 8. Input 14 then has to be used as input source NOT from channel 14 and NOT from channel 8, but any other channel...
To be honest, I would simply NOT do this kind of routing, because you will never know what comes from where and goes to where. In a live situation this can easily stop an event. I don't really see the need to change routing, because you can use the inputs in the layout of the mix. So don't use input 8, if you want to mix the signal on channel 14. Simply plug it into channel 14 and you always know what is where.
The rack mixers do allow this kind of routing and you do have the full 32 analog channels (31+32 are also used for Aux In/RCA), but analog has nothing to do with AVB and nothing with USB. These three "worlds" are separated from each other. You can find in the Owner's Manual (section 14.2 "Default Routing") charts with the Input Sources, the Analog Sends, AVB Sends, USB Sends and SD Card Sends (the rack mixers only have a stereo SD card recorder), which helps to understand the general routing/patching. Routing is indeed a mighty tool and you can easily get lost. Try to stay in the 1 > 1 frame on all levels, as the charts show. Keeping things easy really makes sense!
The rack mixers are missing the "User Layer", which the Series III mixers have. This is a real cool feature and I use it a lot. Just select any input or output signal in the order you need them in the mix. This really makes things easier, but... - the User Layer does not change anything in the basic routing. Channel 1 is still channel 1 and AVB 1 and USB 1 and SD 1!
And, if you are using a 32R only, AVB routing has no relevance because you do not use an AVB network. USB patching can be relevant, if you are using Studio One. USB routing for Capture is fix, track 1 will always record channel 1 (the source routed to channel 1). But also for Studio One it makes sense to NOT change routing, because the song templates are based on a 1:1 routing (channel 1 is track 1), which is also relevant for DAW Mode, which is a feature of the consoles, not the rack mixers.
I have some difficulties to understand what you are trying to acchieve by routing signals/changing input sources. What are your inputs? Instruments? Line signals? Are you working in a studio? Or concerts/events?
Thank you again for taking the time to reply to me.
My main concern was that something is physically wrong with my rack and that there is an issue with that specific channel. I now do not think there is a physical issue more a strange interaction with the DSP routing.
Although the terminology I used is probably not correct, what you describe with the routing (telling a channel to take it's source from an input) is what I was trying to do.
I am using the 32R to connect lots of synths, pedals and sources in a studio setup, mainly line level inputs. It is not a big problem for me at all to simply run 1 to 1 it was more a workflow idea to group certain things together when I saw that each UC Surface mixer channel could take its feed from any physical input. It still seems very strange to me that this function exists but produces these strange effects and interactions between channels that are not linked, surely something is not right here. Again though, my main worry was that there was something wrong with my unit. It seems like an issue with the DSP or the software.
To clarify
Everything set 1 : 1 except for the following :-
Channels 14 and 15 taking their feeds from inputs 7 and 8 respectively. (Gains work fine)
Now add
Channel 8 taking its feed from input 14 (gain on input 8 channel 15 above no longer functions and any gain dialled in is reduced to zero)
As a matrix :-
input > Routed to Mixer Channel
7 > 14
8 > 15
14 > 8
I appreciate by now that using the routing is not a good idea, but I do wonder why the above does not work?
If I may "correct" your matrix. It should look like this:
Channel | Input
7 | 14
8 | 15
14 | 7
15 | 8
I have tried to figure out what the problem could be. What I see is a difference between XLR and line signals. XLR inputs use preamp gain (shown as "Pre"), while line inputs use "Gain" only. The XLR inputs can be routed anywhere, including all settings (phantom power, polarity). Line inputs do not have those settings, and Gain works different, if at all. But the routing is possible.
I use a 32R.
OK, few days later than planned I can confirm that there's something not right with line input gain. When an input is no longer routed to its 'home' channel then line level gain defaults to 0dB and can't be changed from the channel(s) the input is routed to. This is something that needs to be fixed, hopefully with the next firmware update. Until then you'll have to work around it
Thank you both for your replies.
I am actually very relieved to hear that this issue has been recreated elsewhere, as I thought that either I was doing something stupid or my unit has a problem.
My ticket is still open but I have not heard anything back for quite a few days. I don't think that support quite understood what the issue was from my explanation.
I am surprised that nobody else has discovered this before now? It's not a massive issue for me. I shall run 1 to 1 and avoid the routing function until it is fixed.

It looks like a hamburger. It smells like a hamburger. It even tastes like a hamburger. But it's not a hamburger. Unity College has been serving the plant-based Impossible Burger for months, and on August 8, the College is challenging Taste of Waterville festival-goers to see if they can tell the difference.
"With every bite of the Impossible Burger or a McKay salad we are not only making better choices for ourselves, but also the environment. In fact, the Impossible Burger uses about 1/20th the land, 1/4th the water, and produces 1/8th the greenhouse gas emissions than the average burger made from cows. We are also featuring local tomatoes, and local chips and local soda," said Becky Sugden, Unity College Catering Manager. "It's an exciting opportunity to showcase what we do here at Unity College catering and events."
The Impossible Burger is made from simple ingredients found in nature, including wheat protein, coconut oil, potato protein, and heme, which helps give the burger its meat-like taste and aroma.
"The first day we had the Impossible Burger here at Unity College, I had to try it to see for myself," said Dr. Melik Peter Khoury, President of Unity College. "As a meat lover myself, I can assure foodies that it is very good. Will meat eaters be able to tell the difference? I think that's better left for them to try it and decide."
Join the Unity College Catering staff Wednesday, August 8, to get a taste of the Impossible Burger and see for yourself.

Are Someone Else's Beliefs Stagnating Your Fertility?
Posted by Jennifer Bloome under Fertility, Mind~Body~Spirit
1 Comment
In order for healthy conception to occur, your mind~body~spirit system must be open, communicating, and supportive of your intellectual desire to conceive. Each aspect of the system can place 'stop signs' to conception. Now, that's anthropomorphizing in a big way…and yet, our mind~body~spirit system is a very alive system that has many moving parts, all working together to bring your heart's/soul's desire to physical existence.
What gets in the way of this happening? Why WOULDN'T your system work towards creating your heart's desire?
The simple answer to this question is: safety.
Your mind~body~spirit's main job is to keep you safe and alive. It's easy to think of some forms of safety: keeping you from stepping out in front of a bus, or deciding not to slip into bath water that makes your foot reflexes recoil from water so hot you would burn your skin. But what if safety came from your belief that you can't share your true thoughts? Or it was more important someone else be happy than you? Or if something comes easily to you, you don't deserve it?
Where do these beliefs come from?
Life experience. And not necessarily even your OWN life experience.
Most of our beliefs are in place by the age of seven. Some people even say three. So as an adult, you're making decisions and beliefs from a child's point of view.
What's more: the part of the brain responsible for recording emotions begins developing from the second day of conception. Can you have emotions this early? Your Mother did. From very, very early on in your Mother's pregnancy with you, you were picking up on her emotional experiences and her vibrations.
If there was some stress and then some relief, and then some stress and some relief, then you learned that when stress happens, peace isn't far behind. But, if there was a lot of fear and worry, and no relief—your very basic systems learned that the world isn't a place to be trusted.
By the age of three you already developed the "lens" that you look at life through.
Add to that the other beliefs that you may have learned as you are growing up: keep quiet. Children are a hassle. You can't have what you want. These beliefs weren't yours to start with; they simply came with your experience.
You might begin to think you are doomed. Or I'm telling you to place blame squarely on someone else's shoulders. Not at all.
The idea is to begin to take a look at your own beliefs about the world. Are they really true? What do you really want to believe? How could NOT getting pregnant seem like a safer solution to your body than GETTING pregnant?
That last question's a doozy. At least it can be when you haven't thought about conceiving from a mind~body~spirit perspective. The first step is to find the beliefs. The next step is to begin to build new beliefs and remove those stop signs your body thinks are keeping you safe.
You hold the power to change the lens through which you see the world. The lens that creates the beliefs that can create the stop signs to conception. How wonderful will it be to clean house of the beliefs that are creating things in your life that weren't even yours to begin with?!

Bolens 853 General Info Request
Posted November 05, 2012 - 05:19 PM
I am selling some golf cart parts to friend of a friend. Long story short, he has a Bolens 853 that he wants to trade me for my stuff.
The 853 has been sitting out in the weather. There is a pretty little plant growing out of the seat.....Engine turns, tires look good. Hood has a medium coat of surface rust, but everything looks structurally sound. Doesn't seem to be froze up - throttle cable, hi/low, trans gearshifter, steering all work. Mower deck is the only attechment. Belts are all there but have some checking/cracking and I would replace them...
These were only made a couple years, correct? Any issues with hard to find parts, problem areas, things to watch out for?
I really don't need another tractor (according to my wife..... ), so if I get this, it would most likely be a project to fix up and get running then sell/trade for something else. Course after I fix it up, who knows......
If he were selling it for CASH$$$ he says $150.00 as it sits. Course I would be trading it for stuff that didn't cost me anything (effectively) so the price is moot, but does that sound reasonable for a non-runner? Also consider that this is happening in FLORIDA - a virtual desert when it comes to GT's - not like you folks up north where they are for sale on every corner it seems.....
So what do you Bolens guys thing of the 853?

Parts are interchangeable on most tubeframes so getting parts will not be a problem. I say get it and add a Bolens to your collection

Re the numbering conventions - I am assuming the "8" represents the horsepower. Would therefore 1053 (if there is such an animal...) be the same tractor except for a bigger engine? Or is it just that the 8XX used the 8hp engine, and the 10xx were a different frame?
Yes, the first numbers usually indicated the horsepower.
The 853 and 1053 used the same frame. ....The 853 had an 8hp B&S aluminum engine and a 3-speed transmission with HI/LO range selected by moving the drive belt idler pulley from one drive belt to the other. .....The 1053 had a 10hp cast-iron Wisconsin engine and a 6-speed transmission with the HI/LO range built into the transmission, and utilized dual belts to transmit power to the drive and PTO. .....The six-speed transmission had a locking differential.

Whilst on holiday in Scotland in 2004, I came across some amazing cards in a tourist shop. The cards had photographs of sculptures created by an artist, Simant Bostock. I bought only two cards thinking I would be able to find more as I went along. Time was short on this guided tour, so I rushed about trying to see everything and not really taking it all in.
The picture above is called "Bog Man: Spirit of the Ancestors" and it was the first image that caught my eye. It called me to think about my predecessors on this earth and, as the tour was taking in things like Brochs, megaliths and cairns, it had a poignancy I though I could not appreciate at the time. The tour was taking place between Harvest and All Hallows and I wonder if this had any significance in my choice of souvenirs. Certainly, the items I brought back from that tour of the Highlands and Islands were not the usual tourist fayre. Yes, I did bring back some tweed, but it was in the form of a scarf, from the weaver herself, and some postcards. However, the rest were unusual. The best of these were the two cards decorated by Simani Bostock.
So, why am I posting now (three years later) on these cards? I was trying to answer a post on inspiration in a forum of which I am a member and I remembered these cards I had at home. I brought them in to scan, but once I saw them again, I felt I had to find the creator. Unfortunately, there are no contact details and no presence on the net.
So, I was hoping that anyone reading this blog and travelling to Scotland might try and locate the artist or pieces of their work and pass the contact details on to me. I know the imagery is a bit strange and not everyone will have the inclination, or time to search out the artist, but you never know.
The image to the right is entitled: "The Journey". The collection is referred to as Images of the Tuatha de Dannan.
An eclectic mix of book and music reviews, ramblings and other flotsam and jetsom encountered on an expedition to find a place in the pre-Christian religious traditions, and practices of the British Isles.

I don't know whether you have had any response or found out more about Simant Bostock, I've known his name for years, he co-authored a book called Celtic Connections with David James. He was based in Glastonbury but I think he is now in the Isle of Lewis. If you google bostock sculptor it comes up with a coiple of sites that mention him.

An association of Japanese airlines and other entities announced an initiative on Wednesday aimed at enabling the use of biofuels to power passenger jets by 2020, in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions.
Launched in May by 33 companies and organizations to develop and use second-generation aviation fuel, the initiative hopes to work out an implementation plan by next April.
Participants in the body include Boeing Co., the University of Tokyo, Japan Airlines Corp. and All Nippon Airways Co., with the Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ministry joining as an observer.
The initiative will seek to use household waste and algae to produce biofuels as it is difficult in Japan to secure edible plants such as corn and sugar cane in large quantities for such a purpose.
Currently biofuels are expensive compared with jet fuel.
