Alta Vista
Single Vineyard Alizarine
/ Mendoza
Single Vineyard Alizarine was introduced in 2001, making Alta Vista the first Argentine winery to produce single vineyard wines. Utilizing their tailored Terroir Management® system for wine growing and winemaking, Alta Vista uses grapes grown in distinctive sites to craft these unique wines that show the true characteristics of each vineyard. All Single Vineyard wines are aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels and an additional 6 months in bottle.
This remarkable vineyard is situated above 3,000 feet elevation in Luján de Cuyo. The soils of this terroir are very poor and permeable and are composed of silty clay loam with a layer of boulders 3-6 ft. deep. Irrigation is traditional, with water from the Andes Mountains, and the climate is mild and arid. The proximity of hills prevents the risk of frost since, in spring, cold air currents descend from the Mendoza River bed. The selection massale vines planted in 1927 are simple Guyot pruned and yield small, compact grape clusters. The wine from this vineyard is notable for its floral bouquet, good acidity and round, elegant tannins.

By The Carter Center
Reporter Michael Biesecker's coverage of mental health issues began with a high-speed car chase following a robbery. In the course of Biesecker's investigation, he found that although the driver was in a psychotic state two weeks before the crime, he had been turned away from the state's psychiatric hospital.
"We began researching why people were not getting help, why the hospital was so full that it could not accept a patient who clearly needed treatment," Biesecker said.
Click image below to watch video.
Thus began a yearlong investigation by Biesecker, a reporter for North Carolina newspapers News and Observer (Raleigh) and Charlotte Observer. He received a 2009–2010 Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism, a competitive Carter Center program assisting journalists who report on mental health.
Biesecker investigated the state's mental health system and found that, as the state shifted to privatized care, more than two years passed with many patients not receiving treatment.
He and his colleagues wrote a five-part series showing how the state had wasted more than $425 million on nonexistent or ineffective community support services and chronicled 82 deaths in state hospitals.
"The series had some immediate results," Biesecker said. "The head of the state's mental health system resigned. A new law was passed that all deaths in state mental hospitals be reported to a medical examiner, which to our surprise was not a requirement already."
This high-profile reporting dovetails with the Center's goals for the fellow-ship program: increase the accuracy of stories on mental illnesses in the media, thereby reducing public stigma. Fellows maintain their journalistic independence, and The Carter Center provides support by helping to educate fellows and serving as a resource. Since writing his stories on North Carolina's mental health system, Biesecker has continued to shed light on the plight of those with mental illnesses in the state. Recent stories have focused on the state's prisons, which are serving as de facto psychiatric hospitals.
"This is a fight worth fighting, even when you don't see results every day," Biesecker said. "Rosalynn Carter has been fighting for 35 years, and I've only been doing it for five. I've got a good bit left in me."

Delaware Public Health has addressed mental health assessment, referral, treatment, and prevention at the early stage of adolescence through their creation of school based mental health services in all the public high schools in the state. This model increases access and reduces stigma while also addressing some significant barriers to learning and growing. All services are free and available to all students whose families have given their permission to treat. I can't tell you how much more effective to begin working early with adolescents as they learn their particular challenges and discover paths and tools that make them stronger…. rather than weaker.

Starbucks launches credit card, hoping to jolt sales
UPDATED: Thu., Feb. 1, 2018
NEW YORK – Starbucks has a new product that it hopes will hook coffee lovers: a credit card.
The card, launched Thursday with JPMorgan Chase and Visa, comes as Starbucks struggles with slowing growth in the U.S. With the new card, Starbucks wants to lure those who aren't yet signed up for its rewards program. The Seattle-based company has more than 14 million Starbucks members in its rewards program in the U.S., but it is working to grow that number because members tend to stop by its shops more often for coffee or snacks.
The Starbucks Rewards credit card has a $49 annual fee and lets cardholders earn free Starbucks drinks and food with purchases they make at the coffee chain and elsewhere. Cardholders will be enrolled into the Starbucks rewards program.
Branded credit cards, like the Starbucks one, have been popular for decades since they help strengthen customer loyalty. Ride-hailing company Uber, for example, launched a credit card last year.
Starbucks Corp. said it also plans to launch a prepaid card in April with Chase for those who don't want a credit card or can't qualify for one.

QUEENSLAND'S top bureaucrat met with the boss of a water company at the centre of a corruption inquiry just days after being appointed to the top job.
Jon Grayson had been chosen by Premier Campbell Newman to head the powerful Premier and Cabinet Department just four days before a "private meeting" with Australian Water Holdings boss Nick Di Girolamo to discuss his future involvement in a company he part-owned with AWH.
AWH is now at the centre of a NSW anti-corruption probe investigating whether Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid misused his position as an MP to benefit AWH, in which the Obeid family are alleged to have held a secret stake. It is also investigating whether Mr Di Girolamo and Eddie Obeid Jr falsified a document to mislead NSW's Independent Commission Against Corruption.
AWH co-owned Gasfields Water Management with Mr Grayson when he met with Mr Di Girolamo on March 30, 2012 in Brisbane.
Mr Grayson had stood down as a director of Gasfields the day before the meeting, but retained his shares in the company.
Mr Di Girolamo became a director of Gasfields less than a month after the meeting.
The company was deregistered in 2013, but a new company, Gasfields Water and Waste Services, was launched last year listing Mr Grayson as one of six shareholders.
Other shareholders included Mr Di Girolamo and Eddie Obeid Jr – who both later transferred their shares to Mr Obeid Jr's cousin, Dennis Jabour.
OPINION: Ex-Premier's memory lapse reinforces perception of politicians' elitist privilege
Come clean on water scandal, PM: Shorten
'Greed and lies': Obeid faces ICAC
A spokesman for Mr Grayson said the private meeting with Mr Di Girolamo on March 30, 2012 was "for the purpose of removing himself from any active involvement in the gasfields water project and future arrangements for managing his shareholding consistent with arrangements agreed with the Integrity Commissioner".
Mr Newman has defended Mr Grayson in State Parliament, saying he had declared his financial interests. But Mr Newman's office has declined to release the declaration, stating it was accessible to only Mr Grayson, the Premier, the Integrity Commissioner and Public Service Commission chief in line with a Queensland Government directive.
Mr Newman is expected to face further questions over Mr Grayson's financial interests when State Parliament resumes next month.
Deputy Opposition Leader Tim Mulherin has called for Mr Newman to stand Mr Grayson aside.
"The Premier needs to tell Queenslanders if he finds his most senior bureaucrat's behaviour appropriate and he needs to answer serious questions about whether these matters require an independent investigation," Mr Mulherin said.
It comes after The Courier-Mail yesterday revealed Mr Grayson met with another business partner and discussed a housing project linked to AWH soon after taking up his public service job.
Mr Grayson, through a spokesman, has rejected any conflict of interest.
The ICAC inquiry last week led to the resignation of NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell over a $3000 bottle of wine he received from Mr Di Girolamo.
No Queenslanders or the Queensland arm of AWH have been accused of wrongdoing by ICAC.

In 21st century, Microsoft Excel has become the basic need for any business. There is hardly any industry or domain where Excel does not comes into picture. Almost entire industry from Banking to Telecom, Education to Financial Services, Real Estate to Tourism, everywhere MS-Excel is required and it is one of the best analytical tool can be considered in anyone's entire career.
Introduction of Basic Excel
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program which is developed by Microsoft and comes under Microsoft Office Suite of application. It is one of the best software program which is very easy to operate and to work with it. It is basically used for performing calculations, manipulating data and it features Basic Math, Formulas & Functions, Charts, Pivot Tables, and Conditional Formatting etc. In addition to its standard components, it also offers programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
The first version of Microsoft Excel was released in 1985 for Macintosh system and then first Window version in 1987. Since then, Microsoft has launched several versions of Excel and the latest version is Excel 2016 (v16.0) which was launched in September 2015 on Microsoft Windows.
Getting Started with Excel
Whether you are a newbie or professional, it is always very easy to open Excel on computer/laptop. Simply click on "Start" button, go to "All Programs", then look for "Microsoft Office" and click on that. By clicking on "Microsoft Office", a list will be expanded and there you can see "Excel". Just click on it and there you go! You have successfully opened Excel application.
You can also start MS-Excel in two simple steps. Press "Window+R" keyboard shortcut to start run command and then type "excel" in search area and hit enter. The moment you hit enter, Microsoft Excel application gets opened.
As you can see in the above image, when you open fresh excel workbook, an option is there to select the type of templates. Either you can select any pre-installed template by double clicking on it or you can browse for online templates as well. For this instance, click on "Blank Workbook" to open a blank spreadsheet.
Features & Commands
Navigating with Excel is quite difficult for novice. As there are 100s of Excel features and commands in Excel which are very difficult to remember. But for basic survival, there are few important features which you should know before getting started with Excel.
Following are the 10 key components for Excel navigation:-
- Ribbon – The rows of tabs and buttons located on top of the Excel are called Ribbon. It was introduced with Excel 2007. Microsoft replaced the menus and toolbars which existed in the earlier versions of Excel and combined them all into a group of tabs, called Ribbon.
Each Ribbon tab contains group of commands according to its category. For example, "Alignment" group that includes Text Alignment styles, Orientation, Merge cells, and Wrap Text commands. The "Number" group which includes Number Format, Accounting Number Format, Percent Style, Comma Style and decimal Places commands. The purpose of this ribbon is to provide quick access to all menus and tools.
- Quick Access Toolbar – This is a customize toolbar which allows you to quickly access the frequently used commands. By default, first time it shows only 3 commands that are "Save", "Undo", and "Redo". But you can add most frequent and your favorite commands to the Quick Access Toolbar at any time to access them with ease.
- Formula Bar – A toolbar located at the top of the Excel spreadsheet window, shows the content of the current cell and allows to create, view and modify the formulas. It gets activated as soon as soon as we type anything in any cell or click anywhere in the formula bar directly. It plays important role when evaluating large functions or working with large and complicated formulas.
- Name Box – The Name Box is located left to the Formula bar and just above the first column. It displays the address of the active cell in the spreadsheet. If selected range or cell has been defined by any name, the Name Box displays the name for the same. It allows you to quickly assign a name to any range or formula.
- Column Letters – A set of colored rows containing the letters from A to XFD that represents each column in the spreadsheet, called Column Letters or Column Headers. Each spreadsheet contains 16,384 columns in 2007 and later version of Excel. However, in earlier version of Excel, it contains only 256 columns. To select any column, just click on the letter(s) to highlight the entire column. This column letters can be found just below the Formula Bar.
- Row Numbers – A Row is a horizontal series of cells in a spreadsheet which is identified by a number. The gray colored column located on the left side of the 1st column in the spreadsheet which contains the numerical series from 1 to 10,48,576, represents each row in the spreadsheet in 2007 and later versions of Excel, is called Row Numbers / Row Headers. The row(s) can be highlighted by clicking on its Row Numbers / Headers.
- Active Cell – A cell is an Intersection point between a row and a column. And an active cell refers to a cell that is currently selected and bounded by a heavy border in Excel spreadsheet. Also, name box displays the address of the active cell. The difference between active and inactive can easily be noticed while looking at their appearance as well as the column header and the row number of the active cell gets highlighted. Active cell is also known as cell pointer or selected cell and only one cell can be active at a time.
- Sheet Tabs – Sheet Tabs show the current sheets that are available in the opened workbook. And by default, a workbook contains three worksheets along with an additional tab to include extra sheets to the workbook.
Each sheet tab contains its' property and in case you want to rename the worksheet, just do right click on the required sheet, and click on rename option. You can also delete, add, hide or unhide, move or copy, change color or select all available sheets through the sheet tab's property. Sheet Tabs are located at bottom of the Excel worksheet and every workbook must contains at least one sheet.
a) Active Sheet – It is a worksheet that is currently being worked on. Active sheet tab typically has a white background as tab color and sheet name displays in bold.
- Zoom Control – This features allows you to control zooming in and out in spreadsheet quickly and easily without making any changes in the font size. It has a slider that you can drag right or left to zoom in or out respectively.
For instance, there is a database which has very small font that is very difficult to read because of its size. But despite changing the font size of the original database, using zooming feature will let you zoom in for a closer look at the database. It is located at the bottom right corner on the status bar of the Excel window.
- Status Bar – It is placed at the bottom of the Excel window that displays information about the progress of the particular task which is going on. By default, several options are already selected however it can be customized at any point of time by right clicking on the status bar and by selecting or deselecting the option from the provided list. It provides quick information of the selected range of cells such as average, count, sum, caps lock, num lock, status of macro recording etc.
Likewise, there are many other features in Excel which are also important to know. And the same we will be exploring in our upcoming articles.

What if ... ?
I've been getting a LOT of questions lately about my career as a Team Beachbody Coach. What exactly do I do? Can it be done part-time? What if I have another job? How do you make money? Can I REALLY do it too?
I debated sharing the video below publicly (I made it for a private group).
Not because I am embarrassed. But, because I really go into depth about what being a Team Beachbody Coach has done for me and for my family. It is big stuff. It is personal. And, I get a little choked up in the video too. And well ...... it never fails -- YouTube always gives me the craziest looking "thumbnail". What is up with that? Ha ha!
Anyway. Being a Team Beachbody Coach has done SO much to enrich my life. It has been an immense blessing for us in an infinite number of ways. Why WOULDN'T I share that with YOU?
When you find an amazing restaurant, with delicious food, excellent service, and a fabulous menu - do you recommend it to your friends? No doubt, right? No hesitation.
And this -- being a Team Beachbody Coach is SO MUCH more than that. A blessing. No 9-5 for this gal! A life-changer. Take a look:
Oh, and by the way, in case you're already thinking this way (like I did, initially) -- you don't need to be a fitness instructor, personal trainer, or even at your goal weight to be a Coach! You just need to be on your own fitness journey (or starting it), and be willing to bring a few others along the journey with you.
In fact -------> Your struggles are your STRENGTH and your STORY.
- Truth: I am NOT at my goal weight. I've been struggling with this for the past 2 years.
- Truth: I have been dealing with disordered eating since I was about 10 years old.
- Truth: I am NOT perfect, nor will I ever be.
And the "TOGETHER" is what makes a difference! I am surrounded by positive, uplifting, motivating people. It is truly an amazing gift. I am so happy that we have chosen this path in life.
My goal is to help others, like you, experience similar success. Your story isn't mine. And maybe you haven't seen results yet using the Beachbody products. NO MATTER. That's okay.
After you watch the video above, I want you to know: I am looking to mentor 10 new people over the next 2 months. Here's the type of person I am looking for:
- Those that love to help other people.
- Anyone with a natural ability or desire to teach others. I teach you. You teach others. It's that simple.
- Individuals that want to be a positive change in someone else's world.
- Folks looking to get in the best shape of their life in 2015.
- Friends who like to surround themselves daily with uplifting, positive, wonderful teammates who push you to success.
- An understanding that you were born for greatness -- but no clue how to make it happen.
- Friends with a sense of humor. If we are going to work closely together, you must enjoy life and be able to laugh!
Note: This video is something I created and privately shared in a Coach Sneak Group that I ran recently. If you have any curiosity about doing what I do - click here, fill out the form, and let's start chatting (or simply email me at firstname.lastname@example.com). No pressure. Just a talk. If it is not for you, that's okay.
But think about this ------> Is you current life situation making you happy? If in 5 years, you are the EXACT same place that you are now -- will you be satisfied?
Decide to really live your life. Dream big. Create a vision for you and your family. Then, go and live it!

Proof: The Science of Booze
by Adam Rogers
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2014
Wine lovers, beer hounds, whiskey connoisseurs and even teetotalers are all likely to find something to interest them in this look at the science of liquor. Journalist Rogers follows "a sip of booze on a birth to death journey via your tummy," delving into the biochemistry of fermentation and distillation, the history of alcohol production, and the physiological and psychological effects of drinking. To tell his tale, he makes pilgrimages to Scottish whiskey distilleries, storied cocktail bars in New York City's Chinatown and the laboratories of mixologists, who deploy complex chemistry equipment in pursuit of the perfect drink.

For some time now I have been worried about my 15 year old daughter.
She was a very slim, borderline under weight little girl until she hit puberty when her weight just ballooned. Her periods started at just under 13, but after one light one they disappeared for a year. When they came back they were frighteningly heavy (like mine were in my teens) I have taken her to the doctors a few times after one morning she flooded after getting out of bed and started to pass out until i got her and laid her down. The doctor said she is maybe a little aneamic and needs to lose weight, she pescribed a clotting tablet for her to take when her periods are heaviest. Some have lasted 20 days with about 10 heavy ones. She has no real pattern still after nearly two years of periods but she roughly bleeds about 10-12 days then has no period for about two months, sometimes an odd one will come maybe five weeks after the last but this is rare. I started to think thyroid, but the doctor said highly unlikely and more like PCOS because of her weight and spots. I asked for thyroid test to be sure. This was several months ago, and to be honest I wasnt aware of the need for early morning TSH testing We had bloods taken at 5pm.
I was told by the receptionist several days later that my daughters bloods were all fine and in range (doctor had checked them) so I left it at that, however over the last few weeks i have learned a lot about the thyroid and its symptoms and this made me wonder what her levels actually were.
I called the doctors today for a print out and got these results
Mean cell vol 84.00 fl (84.00-99.00)
serum sex hormone binding globulin 18.nmol (18-114)
Serum ferritin 37.8ug/l (10-204)
Dont have vit d or b6 results so they cant have tested them
I am going to invest now in the full bloods (home test) because I am worried, i appreciate that the TSH isn't majorly high but considering this was an evening draw I worry what the early am fasting ones would show (any ideas?) is there a conversion table to work out the difference in levels at different times of day?
My daughter has dyslexia and as a young woman is a nervous and sensitive soul who upsets easy, like me she also suffers with an exagerated startle response to noise or unexpected things happening (for example someone walking in room when her back is turned, she may scream and jump when she first sees them)
She was epileptic for the first four years of life and took sodium valproate.
She is about 5ft 7" and I dont know her wait as she will not let us see , but i guess about 12 stone.
Her outer eyebrows are barely visible
she has constipation and sometimes a really sensitive tummy (saw doctor for this and they said perhaps ibs)
she doesnt feel the cold as much as me, but she has zero stamina for exercise, and is often tired, but i dont think this is as bad as my fatigue yet, she has cravings for salt, carbs and sweet things which doesnt help and i end up policing her.
clumsiness is another issue, the school tested her for dyspraxia a few years ago and said she had mild signs.
It will hinge on results i suppose, but i feel bad now for not seeing this before, and being fobbed off by the docs.
Any ideas/ advice re results or hypothyroid?
Thanks guys x

Careers in Homeland Security
Have you always been fascinated with the CIA or FBI and their need to problem solve, perform intense missions, gather intelligence, and protect innocent citizens? If so, a career in Homeland Security may be a good fit for you. Our nation is in dire need for professionals who can protect and serve the country against disasters and potential terror threats.
Role of a Homeland Security Professional
Homeland security professionals collectively work to prevent terrorism, secure borders, enforce and administer immigration laws, safeguard cyberspace, and ensure resilience to disasters (Department of Homeland Security, 2011). Homeland Security program graduates could enter the workforce as a customs officer, immigration services agent, or a border patrol agent. As professionals advance in their career, they may progress to working in federal law enforcement, customs, and even the Secret Service.
Where to Start
Individuals interested in this career path must obtain formal education in Criminal Justice degree programs. Students enrolled in this program can expect to take the following courses:
- Introduction to Homeland Security: Training about philosophical, historical, and multidisciplinary challenges of homeland security
- Terrorism: Basics on terrorism—both domestic and international. This course is designed to teach students how to recognize acts of terrorism and gain insight into terrorists' perceptions and motivations
- Security Challenges: Training on the field of security and the security challenges people face today and in the future—including threats to transportation and cargo
After obtaining a Homeland Security degree specialization, you'll easily be able to uncover all the ins and outs of what serving the country requires and obtain an in-depth understanding of the responsibilities required of those in such a position.
Though this field is relatively new, the Bureau of Labor Statistics points to the fact that there is a great need for professionals in this field. The Department of Homeland Security employs more than 230,000 employees.* With more initiatives being launched to protect the safety of our country, employee growth is expected through the year 2018.
If this career path sounds exciting to you, start researching Homeland Security degree specializations now.

Good Homework Activities: 7 Tips To Consider
Homework is an essential part of students' routine. It is usually regarded as a stressful and challenging obligation that seems to be created so that you don't think life is a picnic. However, a right approach to your school tasks will help you develop useful study habits, relieve the stress of doing assignments, and even enjoy the learning process. Consider the following tips on how to make your homework activities more effective:
- Plan out your work.
- Do the job when you are the most effective.
- Organize your work place.
- Have breaks.
- Keep your energy levels up.
- Ask for help.
- Have an incentive upon completing your homework.
It is extremely stressful to see how many assignments are waiting to be completed on time. Organize all the tasks to be done in your daily planner. For example, if your math solutions are due in a week, divide them, and do them piece by piece every day. Track your progress by writing down all the tasks and crossing them out as they are completed.
Some students need rest and a change in activities after classes, while others complete their assignments faster and more effectively immediately after school. Check when it is better for you to do homework, and stick to this "effectiveness" schedule.
It doesn't matter where you are going to do your assignments. It may be your desk, kitchen table, or any other suitable place. Pay attention to how your work area is organized. It should be clear and quiet. Put away or turn off all distractors, like computers, cell phones, or other appliances.
Remember to have regular breaks when doing your homework. It is a great way to rest and regain concentration skills. Take a walk, listen to your favorite music, or read a new magazine. Don't abuse such breaks though. Schedule them and keep to the set time limits.
Have a cup of coffee or a light snack when doing your homework. It will help you be active and not to fall asleep when doing your assignments.
If the task is too difficult for you, don't be shy to turn to someone else and ask for help. Call to your friend and ask if he or she has solved an intricate math problem. Look for homework help sources on the Internet.
Reward yourself for a job done. Buy something nice, visit an interesting place, or go to the disco party with a clear conscience.

Every lawn owners want a healthy lawn and lawn dethatching makes a lawn healthy also ensure the quality. When it comes to dethatching, you have to know what is thatch and dethatch and why dethatching is beneficial for your lawn. Dethatching your lawn regularly will add kerb demand to your home as well as subsidise to a healthy lawn. Dethatching is a process where thatch is removed from lawn to help growing green grass and a healthy lawn. There is no alternative of dethatching if you want a healthy, thick and beautiful lawn.
Thatch refers to grow up of dead grass and long needles. The gathering of these things inclines to limit the quantity of sunlight, water, and air in your lawn. However, when thatch starts growing excessively; those unwanted materials on your lawn can make the lawn more disposed to viruses and rats. Sword growing will also be partial as key basics that are vital to its healthiness are inept to enter into the origins.
Why dethatching is important and what are the benefits of lawn dethatching?
Maintaining a healthy lawn and keep it looking good you need to dethatch your lawn seasonally. Is it require to lawn dethatching seasonally or not depends on your lawn? If that has a thatch problem, you should dethatch it as soon as possible for recovering. Those Following symbols remain means that a thatch problem exists in your lawn:
- RECOVER YOUR LAWN FROM MOSS: Moss is a kind of thatch that has green roots linked to the soil, that means those are living thatch. Every lawn contains a lot of moss and those create a problem such as your lawn will be ugly. By removing moss the outlook of your lawn should be cool by growing seasonal green grass. The solution is dethatching it using a dethatching machine for recovering healthy look of your lawn. A lawn dethatcher/mower machine works great as the moss has no roots nearly.
- RESEED GREEN GRASS BY REMOVING THATCH: Dead grass or thatch is another sign that you have a problem in reseeding green grass on your lawn. This problem directly linked to two factors. Available grass currently has on your lawn and the amount of sunlight available on your lawn whole year. When that thatches will be completely removed from your lawn then it will be a great time for reseeding new green grass.
- REMOVE ACIDIC PINE NEEDLES FOR BETTER LAWN: Pine needles grow on the edge of your lawn. Those are like viruses, after few days they started to grow everywhere on your lawn. Those pine needles plug out water and sunlight, however, they are also acidic. It's might be a necessity to use lime when over seeding these areas to offset the effects of the acidic pine needles.
Dethatching is needed for quick removal of thatch and recovers the health of your lawn. If you don't know benefits of dethatching, you might not be motivated to dethatch your garden. So, let's see what are the benefits of a lawn dethatching and how can you do that process:
THATCH RAKE FOR BLOCKAGE REMOVAL: This process refers to the removal of build-up in the yard that can be harmful to it since sunlight, water and air are prevented from getting into the soil's surface. When the thatch is removed, green grass can grow much better as per obstructions are detached. You can use a thatch rake or a dethatching machine for this persistence.
LAWN DETHATCHER MAKE THE JOB FASTER: There are several ways to dethatch your lawn. You can do it manually or this process may take a few hours when you have a big lawn. Power-rakes and lawn dethatch can be used for this purpose which will get the job done faster.
HIRING A PROFESSIONAL EXPERT: If you want to expense 100 to 200 bucks by dethatching your lawn it's high time you can contact with a professional expert. How much it will cost depends on your lawn size. One of the plus points of hiring an expert is the speed up the process and also the clean-up job was done. Just be sure to dethatch your lawn when it's dry to side-step gathering so much mess along the process.
- Use iron before removing thatch.
- Use alkali to prevent future moss growth
- Remove moss first before using alkali
- Dethatch your lawn when it needed; depends on climate and grass types
- Sometimes do not dethatch more than once for every 3 to 5 years.
Dethatching is needed for a healthy lawn but when it's necessary to dethatch depends on the weather, sunlight position and the type of grass have on your lawn. Using a lawn dethatcher machine will make this process much easier and faster.

The word has been out for a few months now about Ancestry's purchase of Footnote, but the deal was apparently not officially done until a few weeks ago. Footnote sent a note to its subscribers soon after the ink had dried. Here it is:
"Several weeks ago Footnote.com (as part of iArchives) agreed to be acquired by Ancestry.com and that transaction has officially closed today [21 October]. As we join forces with Ancestry.com there is a huge opportunity to leverage each other's strengths and move even faster toward our goals. You may be curious about how this deal effects members of Footnote.com? The plan is to continue to run Footnote.com the way we have always run Footnote.com — continuing to do what we believe is best for our customers, our business and our brand.
"Now that the deal is officially closed we are excited to leverage some of Ancestry.com's resources and expertise to take Footnote.com to the next level. It has been exciting to see Footnote.com grow over the past 4 years. Footnote.com started with only 5 million historical documents and today we have nearly 70 million searchable documents, over 1 million members, nearly 100,000 Footnote Pages, and over half million annotations added. We couldn't have done it without our members and the great team at Footnote.com and we are excited for Ancestry.com's support in the next chapter."
It is difficult to predict the precise future in regards to footnote. Most likely, in my opinion, it will continue to exist in tandem with Ancestry. There is some overlap in the offerings of the two sites, but mostly they are complementary. It would also be reasonable to expect that Ancestry subscribers will be offered a reduced subscription rate to Footnote.
I personally remain enthusiastic about Footnote.com. It offers a great historical perspective through digitized original documents which is often helpful in understanding our ancestors' lives. And where Footnote and Ancestry overlap, Revolutionary War pension applications and compiled service records for example, Footnote's presentation is much preferred.
As you may recall, in the first half of 2010 the PGS offered to its members a reduced subscription rate for Footnote. We intend to do that again in 2011. I had a conversation last week with Brian Hansen, the GM of Footnote, and he was very open to establishing our relationship again in 2011.

'Spider-Man' of Paris, 22, Climbs Building to Save Child, 4, Dangling from Balcony
A migrant from Mali earned superhero status after he quickly scaled four floors of a Paris apartment to save a child dangling from a balcony
Everyday heroes are just as spectacular as the ones in comic books!
A migrant from Mali earned superhero comparisons after he quickly scaled four floors of a Paris apartment in order to save a child dangling from a balcony.
In a viral video documenting the incredible rescue, Mamoudou Gassama, 22, can be seen quickly climbing up the front of the building, reaching the 4-year-old child within seconds.
The brave act occurred on Saturday at around 8 p.m. in Paris' 18th Arrondissement, according to The Guardian.
Following the rescue, Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, called Gassama the "Spider-Man of the 18th" on social media and thanked him for his "act of bravery."
"He explained to me that he had arrived from Mali a few months ago dreaming of building his life here," she added, according to CNN. "I told him that his heroic act is an example to all citizens and that the city of Paris will obviously be very keen to support him in his efforts to settle in France."
On Monday, Gassama met with French President Emmanuel Macron, who informed the 22-year-old that he would soon be granted French citizenship and receive a job with the Paris fire brigade, according to CNN.
Describing what led him to save the child, Gassama told Macron that he "didn't think about it," the outlet reported.
"I climbed up and God helped me," he added.
According to multiple outlets, the child's father was not present at the apartment at the time of the rescue, has since been taken into custody and was scheduled to appear in front of a judge on Monday morning.

Strong demand for slim, big-screen televisions helped in part by this month's World Cup should lead the global flat-panel TV market to greater than anticipated growth this year, a Samsung Electronics executive said Monday.
"Sales are going very well," said David Steel, vice president of marketing for Samsung's digital media business, in an interview at the company's headquarters in Suwon, south of Seoul. "The market for flat-panel TV looks like it's up 100 percent over last year."
"In terms of plasma [display panel TVs] we see about 9 [million] to 10 million units this year, that's up from 5 [million] last year, and for LCD probably this year we could get close to 40 million LCD TVs, that's up from 20 million last year. We originally thought 30 [million] to 35 [million] but with the strong demand probably 40 million is possible," he said.
The world's biggest electronics companies are locked in a tough battle for market share in the flat-panel TV market. Leading the pack are four Asian vendors: Samsung, Sharp, Sony and Matsushita Electric Industrial (Panasonic).
In the first four months of this year Samsung took a 12.7 percent share of the flat-panel TV market by unit sales, which gives it the number-two spot, according to NPD Techworld figures quoted by Steel. That places the company just behind Sony, which had a 12.9 percent share, and just ahead of Sharp and Panasonic in the year-to-date rankings.
The company's series 51 and 52 LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs launched in April have been popular with consumers, said Steel. The sets, whose shape is inspired by a wine glass, are helping Samsung give Sony a run for its money. In the last couple of weeks Samsung advanced to number one position in the U.S. market, according to Steel.
"Of course, things could change, but we think now we are really beginning to see the performance of our new models," he said. "So it's a good sign for the U.S."
For the rest of the year, Samsung plans to launch several LCD televisions. They include a 19-inch version of the strong-selling, wine-glass style TV due in the U.S. market in August. A 40-inch LCD TV with LED (light emitting diode) backlight will hit Europe by September and the U.S. next year. Samsung's 57-inch LCD TV that is already available in the U.S. will be launched in Europe in August.

Improving human capital, reducing marine plastics and Annual Meetings key in the agenda
JAKARTA, July 4, 2018 – World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim arrived in Indonesia today on a three-day visit that will help highlight the country's efforts to improve human capital and reduce marine plastic debris.
Kim will meet with President Joko Widodo, Vice President Jusuf Kalla, Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati and a number of cabinet ministers to discuss the Bank's continued support to Indonesia's aspirations to become one of the most prosperous countries in the world.
During his visit, Kim, a medical doctor, will witness firsthand some of the country's efforts to reduce stunting. Indonesia has long been confronted with a major development challenge, with one third of children under five years old – nearly nine million children -- suffering from stunting. The Government of Indonesia has now made a strong commitment to address this issue under its national strategy to accelerate reduction of stunting which will be supported by the World Bank's recently approved US$400 million project on nutrition and early-years intervention.
Kim will visit a clinic in Tangkil village, Bogor, West Java together with President Joko Widodo and then travel to Lombok with Vice President Jusuf Kalla to observe the work of Human Development Workers (HDW) program. Through HDW, members of the community are trained to provide crucial nutritional and health support to pregnant women and children under two.
"The most valuable resource that countries have is their people. Countries cannot develop human capital and ensure equality of opportunity without addressing chronic malnutrition and stunting," said Jim Yong Kim, World Bank Group President. "Indonesia has the key ingredients to succeed: strong leadership and sustained commitment, financial and human resources at all levels of government, and a concrete plan."
Kim will continue his visit to Bali to raise awareness around the challenges posed by plastic marine debris, which has become a global crisis. Indonesia is second only to China in its marine plastics problem. Of particular concern are microplastics in the food-chain, given Indonesia's emphasis on increasing fish protein consumption to improve childhood stunting.
Kim will also observe preparations for the 2018 World Bank Group-International Monetary Fund Annual Meetings which will be held in Bali in October.
"We are thankful for the Government of Indonesia and its people to host the Annual Meetings," said Kim. "The event will showcase the renowned hospitality of the Indonesian people and is a testament to the important role that the country is playing on the international scene."
The 2018 Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund are expected to bring between 15,000 to 20,000 participants to Bali to discuss a range of issues related to poverty reduction, international economic development and finance. The Meetings will also serve to showcase Indonesia's development achievements to the world.

The bustling commercial hub of Ul'dah sits amid the desolate desert landscape of southern Aldenard. The city is organized strategically around the dome-shaped citadel at its center. Its towering fortifications and protective outer walls are visible for malms in all directions, and serve as a stark deterrent to would-be besiegers.
Visitors from every corner of Eorzea come to Ul'dah to partake of the city's famed recreation, most notably the fighting arenas and gambling halls. Ul'dahn culture is known for its affluence, and the wealth of the nation comes in large part from its abundant mineral resources and prestigious clothcrafting industry.
Historically, it is the sultan who claims sovereignty over Ul'dah, but true power is wielded by the Syndicate, an elite group of six of the most influential and richest members of society. Nald'thal is the patron deity of the city, and two great halls devoted to his two aspects can be found in the eastern and western sections of the city.
In the eastern reaches of the Aldenard landmass, home to vast, dense woodlands and coursing rivers, lies the forest nation of Gridania. The cityscape is a mosaic of labyrinthine waterways and great wooden structures, so gracefully constructed they seem a part of the surrounding environment.
The Gridanian emphasis on natural harmony has led to its preeminence among Eorzea's city-states in trades such as forestry, agriculture, carpentry, and leatherworking. Gridania is also home to the Wood Wailers, a militant band of polearm-wielding sentries charged with the protection of their homeland.
The favored goddess of the citizenry is Nophica, the Matron, but great faith is also placed in the wisdom of the Seedseers—young oracles who guide the nation based on the will of the forest's elementals.
On the southern coast of the island of Vylbrand, under the shadow of ancient cliffs worn by the relentless onslaught of the Rhotano Sea, lies the marine city-state of Limsa Lominsa. Said to be blessed by the goddess of navigation, Llymlaen, the city is spread out over countless tiny islands, each connected by sturdy bridges of iron and wood construction, earning her the name the "Navigator's Veil" from traveling bards who have witnessed the city's beauty from afar.
Limsa Lominsa is a traditional thalassocracy, with power lying in the hands of the ruling party and its leader, the Admiral. Its economy is driven by shipbuilding, fishing, and blacksmithing, but the majority of wealth comes from the lucrative shipping industry.
To maintain the safety of its maritime routes, the city employs a formidable navy known as the Knights of the Barracuda. However, even in the waters nearby the city, pirate bands run rampant, reaving and pillaging.
Mor Dhona is an inland region of Eorzea, and the site of the first aerial battle in recorded history—a conflict that took place above Silvertear Lake.
In the Year 1562 of the Sixth Astral Era, five years after the invasion of Ala Mhigo, the Garlean Empire finally rose from apparent inactivity to resume its attack on Eorzea. A fleet of airships was deployed to Mor Dhona, led by the massive flagship Agrius.
As the imperial fleet advanced into the skies above Silvertear Lake, the largest inland body of water in Aldenard, it was met with a wholly unexpected sight. Midgardsormr, the dragon deity of the lake, had arisen, summoned by a hand unknown. And as if to answer the mighty wyrm's call, a host of dragons flew in from the northwestern reaches of Dravania and fell upon the Empire's forces.
The air was filled with the deafening roars of cannons and dragonkin alike. Locked in a deadly embrace, the thunderous impact of Midgardsormr and the dreadnought Agrius tolled their mutual demise. Thus ended the Battle of Silvertear Skies.
Even now, the carcass of the immense wyrm lies entwined with the wreckage of the Agrius in the center of the lake, a towering monument to the ferocity of the conflict.
Ever since that day, the lands of Eorzea have continued an inexorable fall into chaos...
The highlands of Gyr Abania in the eastern reaches of Aldenard were once under the control of a martial nation known as Ala Mhigo. It was, perhaps, the historically conflicted nature of the territory that forged the country into a significant military power.
Even as this aggressive nation sent its forces to conquer in the west, it repelled repeated attempts at invasion from the east. In the Year 1557 of the Sixth Astral Era, however, it finally fell to the incursions of the Garlean Empire. From that time onwards, the country became merely another imperial territory under the governance of its usurpers. Though the people of Ala Mhigo once revered Rhalgr, the Destroyer, as their patron deity, any such religious observance has since been forbidden by the controlling authorities.
In the central region of Abalathia's Spine, that great mountain range that spans Aldenard from east to west, can be found the forbidding highlands of Coerthas and the Holy See of Ishgard. The archbishop of the church, while leading his people in the teachings of Halone, the Fury, rules also as the nation's sovereign.
Ishgard's formidable army of knights wages constant battle against its mortal enemies, the dragons. Faced with ever more aggressive attacks from its serpentine foes, as well as an unprecedented spell of bitter cold, the theocracy's days are dark indeed.
Matters have grown so grave as to prompt the archbishop and his advisors to consider throwing open the heretofore sealed gates of Ishgard and calling for outside aid.

Trial Opens in Challenge to Law Over Teenage Sex
Trial Opens in Challenge to Law Over Teenage Sex
By JODI RUDOREN
WICHITA, Kan., Jan. 30 A federal trial opened here Monday over whether a Kansas law prohibiting virtually all sexual activity by people under age 16 means health care professionals and educators must report such behavior to state authorities, which some say would stop many teenagers from seeking contraception or treatment for sexually transmitted diseases.
The class-action lawsuit stems from a 2003 opinion by the Kansas attorney general, Phill Kline, a conservative Republican who has developed a national reputation for fighting abortion and whose pursuit of abortion clinic records is also being challenged in court.
Mr. Kline's interpretation of the law focused mainly on the reporting duty of abortion providers, arguing that any pregnant, unmarried minor had by definition been the victim of rape or abuse. But it included a broad mandate for reporting whenever "compelling evidence of sexual interaction is present."
Bonnie Scott Jones, a lawyer for the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York, which is representing the plaintiffs, said in her opening statement that Mr. Kline's "dragnet approach" to amassing information on under-age sex violated minors' privacy rights and the Constitution's equal protection clause, and that it "seriously endangers the health and well-being of adolescents."
"Sexual abuse is not synonymous with consensual sexual activity," Ms. Jones said to the judge deciding the case, J. Thomas Marten of Federal District Court. "Consensual sexual activity is not inherently injurious. It is a normal part of adolescent development."
Steve Alexander, an assistant attorney general defending the suit, said the Kansas statute meant that those younger than 16 could not consent to sex, and that those violating the law forfeited any privacy rights.
"Illegal sexual activity by minors can lead to S.T.D.'s, unwanted pregnancies, abortion, depression, mental illness," Mr. Alexander said. "To pretend otherwise is foolish." He said the case was in essence a challenge to the law barring consensual sex between young people of a similar age, which he called "a policy argument that plaintiffs would be better served making in the Legislature."
Kansas is one of 12 states where sex under a certain age 16, 17 or 18 is illegal regardless of the age difference between partners, according to a 2004 report prepared by the Lewin Group, a consulting firm, for the federal Department of Health and Human Services. Laws on reporting child sexual abuse also vary, but a third of states require reporting only when statutory rape involves a parent or guardian, the report found.
Dr. Robert W. Blum, a Johns Hopkins University professor and an expert in pediatrics and adolescent medicine, who was the plaintiffs' lead witness, testified Monday that only one state, California, had previously tried to require reporting of all under-age sex, and that it reversed course after a year in the early 1990's because the authorities were flooded with "irrelevant and obstructive" reports.
Among the plaintiffs' arguments is that blanket reporting of sexual activity would be futile because the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services has a policy against investigating cases of consensual teenage sex.
Pressed on cross-examination, Dr. Blum said he did consider all sex by children 12 or younger to be "problematic" and worthy of reporting, but he said, "That's distinctly different than a 14-, 15- or 16-year-old in a romantic relationship."
Nationally, studies suggest that about 30 percent of teenagers under 16 have had intercourse, and an additional 20 percent have experimented with oral sex or genital fondling.
A federal appeals court on Friday overturned a temporary injunction blocking enactment of Mr. Kline's ruling but provided a two-week window, approximately the expected length of the trial, before the reporting would be required.
Among the issues debated Monday was the very definition of sexual activity. Anal and vaginal intercourse and oral sex are mentioned in the law, as is "lewd fondling or touching" done with "the intent to arouse," which Ms. Jones said could cover even intense French kissing.
Mr. Kline, who is expected to testify Friday, declined to discuss the case. In an e-mail statement, he avoided the central controversy over consensual sex between teenagers of a similar age.
"Plaintiffs are arguing that the constitution does not allow the state to require people to report child rape," the statement said. "We differ. Prosecuting and investigating child rapists depends on such laws, and if the plaintiffs believe that adult-child sex should be legal they need to take that debate to the Legislature rather than initiate litigation."
Similarly, Mr. Kline said last year that prosecuting rapists was his goal in seeking access to the medical files of women and girls who had had late-term abortions, which led to a separate lawsuit awaiting a decision by the State Supreme Court.
Mr. Kline, elected in 2002, also serves as chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association and has fought against abortion throughout his career. He filed a lawsuit, recently dismissed, to challenge the state's use of Medicaid funds for abortions, and he submitted a brief in a federal case arguing that Roe v. Wade should be overturned.
Last year, Mr. Kline successfully lobbied the Legislature to require that abortion providers collect fetal tissue from patients younger than 14 and turn it over to law enforcement.
"He's certainly on a crusade to limit or eliminate abortion in Kansas," said Peter Brownlie, chief executive of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri. "That's been a clear agenda for a long time." Mr. Brownlie said Mr. Kline had helped make Kansas a national battlefront in the abortion debate.
But the doctors, nurses, counselors and educators suing over Mr. Kline's interpretation of the reporting law say it goes far beyond abortion to include every teenager who requests birth control pills or H.I.V. testing, or who in a group therapy session even discusses "heavy petting" with a boyfriend or girlfriend.
"If they know what they tell me is reported, they simply won't talk," said Beth McGilley, a Wichita therapist who is among the plaintiffs, referring to both teenage clients and adults who often consult her about their children's sexual exploration.
"To me, it's violating what, quite essentially, therapy is couched in: confidentiality," Ms. McGilley said. "You have two 15-year-olds mashing in the back seat of the car who's the criminal here? Do we really need Big Brother to decide whether or not that needs to be judiciously pursued?"

Your Macro May shots are both beautiful and fascinating! I never knew that the tips of knitting needles have both polished and very slightly textured surfaces.
Just beautiful, Vicki!
No one does macro as well as you do.
Those are beautiful! I can almost smell those blooms! :)
I always love Macro May! Your shots are beautiful today.
you've got a great eye for the details! I'm really enjoying every one of your macro shots!
Beautiful-- and to be honest, I don't love most flower closeups because I think most are boring. Not yours! Thanks for sharing these.
Lovely --- especially what I assume are needle points.
What beautiful photos! You really capture the essence of your subject! :)
So lovely!! Especially the lilacs.
I've been very much enjoying your macro shots - especially because our tulips *just* started blooming and our lilacs are still holding out on us.

Major upgrade planned for Abbeyshrule
Abbeyshrule Airfield could potentially cater for 32-seater passenger aircraft and smaller cargo planes if new plans are given the go-ahead.
The Leader understands Longford Aviation Limited is at the final stages in the process of preparing an application to Longford County Council for permission to extend the current runway by 300 metres, as well as widening it by 18 to 23 metres. Planning permission will also be sought for a new taxiway, measuring just over a kilometre.
The move, if given the green light, will substantially alter the type of traffic able to use the facilities at Abbeyshrule. "These plans would eventually allow Abbeyshrule to become a Category two airport, which is the same, believe it or not, as London City Airport," engineer on the project, John Madden told the Leader.
Longford Aviation Limited will be making an application to Longford Community Resources Limited's LEADER funding to assist the project. "We've been working closely with the LCRL on the matter and they've been positive towards our plans," Mr Madden said.
Tenders for the project have been invited on the public procurement website, etenders, as a LEADER funded project. "We have received substantial interest in the job, and we hope to analyse those in the coming weeks so that we could set a final price for the project," he said.
"We're under no illusions. This is not something that can happen today, or even in the next year, but it will allow us to get the bases established to develop the airport in such a positive manner," the project engineer added.
Long standing committee member with Abbeyshrule Airport, Ted McGoey, said the plans were first and foremost about improving health and safety at the airport. "This would be a massive boost to the whole midlands region. It would allow the air corps to land more of their aircraft here, as well as increasing safety for the air ambulance service."
The Irish Aviation Authority would be required to officially upgrade the status of the airport if the works go ahead, with the ability of larger passenger planes using the facilities likely to open the region to tourism.
"Sport tourism, in particular, could benefit hugely," said Mr McGoey. "People coming into the region for fishing, for example, or those wanting to fly over for a sporting event in the UK could do so if the upgrade goes ahead."
Abbeyshrule is currently on a high after the successes in the Tidy Towns and Entente Florale in recent weeks, and this move is likely to continue on that crest of a wave, he added.
"We're looking at the big picture, but it's about keeping the airport small while building on what we have," John remarked.
"There has been talk about establishing a new airport at Horseleap because of the plans for a new Chinese hub in Athlone, but there's no need to build one from scratch when we could utilise and upgrade what we have here," Mr McGoey concluded.

navigation bar disappears
I'm running the most current edition of LDS Gospel Library on my Kindle Fire. I've noticed that the navigation bar--with Moroni tab, bookmark tab, etc.--will roll up and disappear sometimes while I am reading. I have no idea how to get it back except to back out of the page I'm reading, and start over. Kind of annoying. I can't find an answer to this problem anywhere. Reading in full screen is fine, but how do I access the navigation bar after it disappears? thanks for your help!

IXWebHosting Reviews
Editor's Review
Established in 1999, IX Web Hosting is one of the most well known providers of professional web hosting services. Since then, the company has grown to have over 100,000 customers and nearly a half million domains hosted. While the firm specializes in premium services, its solutions are available at prices that can be easily afforded on most budgets.
Whether your plans call for a personal website, or one to support business endeavors, IX Web Hosting can deliver the tools you need to make it a success. But is this company really worth your time? Find out by reading this IX Web Hosting review.
Products and Services
Unlike many companies, IX Web Hosting has a wide variety of solutions to choose from, which could be a good thing if you are not quite sure what type of service you require. Its portfolio consists of traditional solutions on shared servers, as well as virtual private servers for those with more demanding needs. Recently added to the menu are cloud hosting solutions, which range from professional to enterprise level packages. These packages are ideal for customers who need the resources of a dedicated server minus all the hassle that typically comes along with it.
Basic Features
IX Web Hosting offers three levels of shared hosting and each package is loaded with useful features. Some of the basics include a free site builder, unlimited disks space, and unlimited bandwidth. You also receive at least one free domain name, and have the luxury to host an unlimited number domains on a single account. This is great if you have the need to maintain multiple websites as each site can be managed from a centralized location. Additionally, the package comes with at least one dedicated IP address, giving you a better chance of ranking high in the search results. What IX Web Hosting considers basic features is extra or nonexistent with many other hosts.
Business Features
For over a decade, IX Web Hosting has been a big hit with the online business community. Much of this has to do with all the business features it has on the menu. Every one of IX Web Hosting's shared hosting packages comes included with a nice selection of shopping carts. Each application can easily be installed with a single click, allowing you to get your store up and running quickly. You also receive an SSL certificate that is shared across the server to secure transactions and give your customers the peace of mind of knowing they can shop with you in confidence. If you need your own private certificate, it can be obtained directly through the company.
Control Panel
IX Web Hosting uses the H-Sphere software as its control panel. This application is quite similar to leading control panels such as cPanel and Plesk in terms of its ease of use. The software is essentially made of icons that provide convenient access to all the management tools. From the graphical user interface, you can perform actions such as create email accounts, manage domains, and view traffic statistics. H-Sphere may not have the fanfare of more popular control panels, but it is arguably just as easy to use and effective.
Customer Support
In the past, IX Web Hosting has take some flack in the customer support. Thankfully, the company has recently beefed up in this area and now offers what it calls "Super Hero Support." What is it exactly? Whenever an issue arises, you are assigned to your own support team, and a specific contact person who helps resolve your problems. This creates a more intimate setting and enables the support team to be more effective. IX Web Hosting's support runs on a 24/7 basis, allowing you to get the assistance you need by toll free phone, email, and live chat. Furthermore, the company has a comprehensive Help Center that is rich in articles, tutorials, and other helpful resources.
Technology is the driving force behind the web hosting business, and IX Web Hosting has plenty to offer. For starters, the company has solutions built on both Linux and Windows platforms, giving you your choice from two of the most powerful operating systems in existence. This in turns, give you access to all their complementary technologies, including MySQL, Postgre SQL, MS Access, and MS SQL databases for data storage and back-end support. For dynamic content creation, you get support for development tools such as PHP, Perl, and ASP.NET. This flexible technology makes the IX Web Hosting platform easier to use for beginners, and more fulfilling for the technically inclined.
Service Reliability
IX Web Hosting goes above and beyond to provide its customers with a highly reliable service. The commitment to reliability can be seen in its data center. Operating from a fault tolerant, fully redundant facility, the company currently houses more than 750 high performance servers and adds more on a regular basis. Additionally, the facility receives the benefit of onsite security, as well as UPS systems and generators that provide backup power should an untimely outage occur.
A state of the art data center is insufficient without a world-class network to back it up. IX Web Hosting has internet connections supplied by industry leading carriers, guaranteeing that is has the capacity to ensure the high performance and availability of your website. Coupled with Cisco routing equipment, the IX Web Hosting network makes sure you stay online.
IX Web Hosting throws in some nice bonuses to add what to is already a very appealing service. Each of its shared hosting packages come with over $100 in advertising credits. This is essentially free money that can used to market your site through Google AdWords, Yahoo, and Miva. Factor in tons of free software and you have what is easily one of the most attractive services around.
Very few companies in the business have the storied history of IX Web Hosting. The firm has been around the block and knows what it takes to be successful in the highly competitive hosting sector. Boasting a low price, a wealth of features, and enhanced support, it is safe to say that IX Web Hosting makes an excellent choice for a web host.
