Engine maker Rolls-Royce said annual profits tumbled 12% to £1.4 billion as the business was hit by civil aerospace cuts and falling commodity prices that have impacted output at its marine division, which supplies the oil industry.
The fall in profit at FTSE 100-listed Rolls was less than analysts expected, but it did cut its dividend by half to 7.1p a share, as it bids to conserve cash.
The business said the restructuring programme it started in November "continues to make good progress", and that its trading outlook for 2016 was unchanged.
Last year chief executive Warren East, who joined the firm last July, said he would scrap the current Aerospace and Land & Sea divisional structure.
Rolls said the move will cut out a layer of senior management, with the group instead comprising five businesses from January - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine, nuclear and power systems.
The shake-up came amid a major revival plan to boost performance and slash costs by between £150 million and £200 million a year.
Rolls, which has major bases in Bristol and Derby, issued its fifth profit warning in two years in November as a result of weak demand and low crude prices.
It is cutting management roles and has previously announced 3,600 redundancies.
Mr East said: "In the context of challenging trading conditions our overall performance for the year was in line with the expectations we set out in July 2015.
"It was a year of considerable change for Rolls-Royce - in our management, in some market conditions and in our near-term outlook."
The firm expects to post an underlying pre-tax profit of £664 million in 2016, after it warned last winter its profit would be cut by £650 million due to a large slowdown in orders from emerging markets and sliding oil prices.
The business said it would book restructuring charges of £75 million to £100 million this year, which includes the axing of 50 of its top 200 senior managers.
Mr East is under pressure to revive the group's fortunes after the profit warnings hammered its share price - down more than 40% over the last 12 months.
Analysts had feared annual losses would be deeper, and that the firm would signal a rights issue to raise cash.
But Jefferies analyst Sandy Morris said "unchanged 2016 guidance should help stop the rot in sentiment, in our view".

Timepiece by Myra McEntire
A threat from the past could destroy the future. And the clock is ticking...
Kaleb Ballard's relentless flirting is interrupted when Jack Landers, the man who tried to murder his father, timeslips in and attacks before disappearing just as quickly. But Kaleb has never before been able to see time travelers, unlike many of his friends associated with the mysterious Hourglass organization. Are Kaleb's powers expanding, or is something very wrong?
Then the Hourglass is issued an ultimatum. Either they find Jack and the research he's stolen on the time gene, or time will be altered with devastating results.
Now Kaleb, Emerson, Michael, and the other Hourglass recruits have no choice but to use their unusual powers to find Jack. But where do they even start? And when? And even if they succeed, it may not be enough...
The follow-up to Hourglass, Timepiece blends the paranormal, science fiction, mystery, and suspense genres into a nonstop thrill ride where every second counts.
Hourglass was a great thriller with a nice love story, so I can't wait to read this sequel. I'm really loving the time-travel trend that keeps popping up in new and different ways!

Wounded troops tell of Iraqi ambush
Landstuhl, Germany: The Humvee's gunner, army Sgt Charles Horgan, had barely yelled, "R-P-G!" before the front of his vehicle exploded.
The blast from a rocket propelled grenade blew Horgan, 21, and Staff Sgt Jamie Villafane, 31, out of their Humvee.
Horgan, who had been standing and manning a .50-calibre machine gun, was knocked in the air and came back down on the vehicle. Villafane, in the passenger seat, was thrown out the side.
The two men sat in hospital garb today at Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre, the largest military hospital outside the United States, telling journalists how they had been ambushed on Sunday by Iraqi soldiers dressed as civilians.
Joined at the news conference by Marine Lance Cpl Joshua Menard, the men had been in the first four evacuation flights that ferried 24 combat wounded to Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
All three will return to the United States for further treatment.
The two army soldiers and their driver, Pvt Alonzo Lopez, who was uninjured, were in the lead vehicle of a scout team of the 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, comprising two Humvees, a Bradley fighting vehicle, an Abrams tank and another Humvee following the small column. They were sent to investigate civilians in Bedouin robes on a bridge about 30 km south of Nasiriyah.
In the moments after he saw the missile and before it hit the Humvee, Horgan said he had three thoughts: "Wow, we're in a real war," "I'm going to die," and "Oh no, I'm just going to lose my legs."
Horgan scrambled off the Humvee. The blast had charred his boot and ripped open his right heel.
The blow knocked Villafane, a husband and father of three, onto the end of the bridge they had just crossed. When his wits returned, he began searching frantically for his M-4 assault rifle. No sooner had he retrieved it that he saw a wire-guided missile passing within feet of his face and hitting a second Humvee.
"I saw the wire," said Villafane. He crawled down the bank of the bridge seeking cover from rifle fire.
Under the bridge, Villafane saw a civilian carrying an AK-47 rifle. He trained his rifle on the man, who surrendered. The man removed his robe, revealing an Iraqi uniform.
Three more men dressed as civilians appeared under the bridge, all carrying AK-47s. They surrendered and removed Bedouin garb to show uniforms.
"It was four guys against me," said Villafane, who got shrapnel in his left hand and forearm and a broken ring finger.
While Villafane secured his prisoners, Horgan corralled Lopez, a soldier just out of high school, and took cover on the side of the bridge.
Menard, 21, part of the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, was shot in the left hand while he and several other Marines guarded a different bridge spanning the Euphrates River south of An Nasiriyah. Menard also said Iraqis in civilian clothing had opened fire with AK-47s.
The three agreed they were glad to be out of the danger area.
"Nobody can be shot at and say, 'Wow, I really want to go back there, that was great'," Horgan said.
As Villafane put it, "Getting shot at really wasn't that bad. It's the getting shot part that sucked."

Georgetown University
3700 O Street, NW
United States
Dear Mr. Reed:
In its meeting of 18 October, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed a revised concept design for the new athletic training facility at Georgetown University, 3700 O Street, NW (case number OG 12-291). The Commission adopted the recommendation of the Old Georgetown Board to approve the submission, with the following comments.
The Commission members expressed appreciation for the improvement to the plan, particularly the introduction of the courtyard. They supported using the Collegiate Gothic style for the building exterior, but raised concerns about the lack of resolution in the details; they recommended that the designers clarify the stylistic intent, whether historicist or mannerist, to achieve a more coherent design. They recommended further refining the details of the cast stone, strengthening the treatment of the base, and studying the proportions of the windows.
The Commission's comments support and augment those made by the Old Georgetown Board in its meeting of 4 October; the Board's report is enclosed. The Commission and Board look forward to reviewing further development of the design. As always, the staff is available to assist you with the next submission.

Enclosure: Report of the Old Georgetown Board, 18 October 2012
3700 O Street, NW
(Square 1321, Lot 827)
Georgetown University – Athletic Training Facility
New construction
Concept – revised design
(Reviewed by OGB: 4 Oct., 5 Jul. 2012. General concept approved 5 Apr. (CFA 19 Apr.), 1 Mar. 2012, 6 Oct. 2011 – OG 11-282; 4 Oct., 5 Jul. 2007 – OG 07-185B)
REPORT: In April 2012, the Commission reviewed the general concept design for the new athletic training facility to be built abutting the southeast corner of McDonough Gymnasium at Georgetown University, near the western edge of the campus. The Commission directed the applicant to pursue expression of the basketball courts as the primary volume and resolution of the relationships to North Road and Library Walk. Since then, the Old Georgetown Board (OGB) has reviewed revised concept designs for a four–story structure (plus one underground level) with a courtyard. In its meeting of 4 October 2012, the OGB recommended concept approval for the design with comments.
The OGB considers the plan and massing to be resolved; however, further development of the detailing is needed. The overall sense of solidity and mass should be emphasized in the articulation of several elements, including: buttresses; cornices at the polygonal bays; the north elevation; the base along the south elevation; and the precast piers of the arcades, particularly in relation to the upper story. The OGB also suggested simpler detailing of the blind panels, thermae window, and corner buttresses, and consideration of alternative treatments for the connection to McDonough Gymnasium.
RECOMMENDATION: No objection to concept design for the Athletic Training Facility as shown in supplemental drawings dated 20 September 2012. Recommend further development of detailing emphasizing solidity and simplification.

I'm Matt White, and I'm currently mapping parts of the inner north (Brunswick to Preston), parts of Doncaster/Donvale, and on the sly (cos it's not exactly a high priority) starting to do a few tourist trails/forest trails and other 4WD-y tracks out towards Warburton/Marysville and the Wombat State Forest/Lederderg NP. The metro work is mostly off the imagery with the GPS trace, bush work is all GPS trace.
I'm working with a GPSMAP 60CSx, a Shogun Prairie Breaker MTB for local mapping, and a Hilux Surf for more remote bush/long distance mapping. I'm also starting to build a proper mapping rig for the Hilux - laptop, GPS and a couple of cameras plus some software to bind the whole shooting match together. Hopefully that way, I'll capture all the stuff like postboxes, traffic islands and the rest that I never get to write down. Might even make some decent maps out of it all...
I'm also creating Garmin maps for all of Australia on a nightly basis. These maps include the standard Garmin output, cycle maps and some specialised zoom level maps for rural mapping as well as a copy of the planet file for Australia only. There's also some out of copyright street map images up there (which are surprisingly accurate) from a 1936 Collins Street Directory. All of this info is available from www.osmaustralia.org

The Twitter Book
Recently I read a Kindle sample on Amazon for The Twitter Book by Tim O'Reilly & Sarah Milstein. I wasn't sure if it would really delve beyond how to set up your account, and basic usage, but it went far beyond my expectations. The sample was extremely short, but it still caught my attention. All the sample contained, was an explanation of hashtags. That was all it took! I've had absolutely no idea why the pound sign drifts around Twitter so much. I wanted to know more!
So imagine my pleasant surprise when it came up for review on netGalley, and I got accepted to review it. I downloaded it last night and devoured it over the evening and this morning. I learned how I can use Twitter more effectively, how businesses can use Twitter, even how Shaq uses Twitter. I learned about a few programs that can help me keep an eye on trendy discussions, or even if I'm being discussed. And yes, I learned how use hashtags (and even used one this afternoon). If you're interested in social networking for personal, blog or business use, I highly recommend this book. If you just want to understand the Tweeting hype, I highly recommend this book. And if you want to know how those blasted hashtags come into play, I definitely recommend this book. :)
**I am not employed by netGalley. I was able to obtain the book as a free download, and have received no other compensation by them. I was not obligated to write a positive review, as I was under no obligation to write a review, period. If you have any other questions on how this process works, please see http://netgalley.com/about/faq/#faq2a

Punjab government today admitted lapses in post-matric scholarships granted to Scheduled Caste students at some Polytechnics and Industrial Training Institutes in the state.
During the Question Hour, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Madan Mohan Mittal said, "Fraud is taking place by adopting unfair methods through fabrication and displaying admission of some students at two different places."
He assured the Assembly that an investigation into it is underway.
Speaker Charanjit Singh Atwal asked the House to set up and all-party committee to probe the matter.
Earlier, SAD MLA Justice Nirmal Singh (retd.) brought to the notice of the Assembly the "fake and double admissions" in the name of scholarships by various institutions in the state.
He said around 4,200 students were shown receiving scholarships in one institute, but actually 3,200 students were enrolled for distance education programme.
"This is a huge scandal and needs to be probed by an independent agency," the SAD legislator said.
Terming it as a "serious issue" and bringing bad name to the state, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said, "I will request the Chief Minister to mark a vigilance probe into the matter."
SAD MLA Pawan Kumar Tinu said the is scandal to the tune of Rs 50 crore.

Scripture: Exodus 20:13
Verse 13 says, "You shall not murder." It is important to note that this commandment does not say, do not kill. It says, do not murder. Murder is taking an innocent life. Even God kills the wicked! Praying death and destruction on the wicked perpetrators is consistent with what the Bible teaches. In the Old Testament a blood avenger had a full time job of executing those guilty of murder. The 'death penalty' is found in numerous places in the Old Testament as well as in the book of Revelations. In the Old Testament, a Blood Avenger had the full-time job of executing all guilty of murder. Is it not evident that had abortionists lived in Old Testament times, they would have had short lives?

NVIDIA's newly-released GTX 1660 Ti behaves almost like a new and improved GTX 1070. It comes with the new Turing architecture found in the RTX series, but without the ray-tracing and Deep Learning Super Sampling technology; these premium features are still in the early stages of adoption, and aren't useful or economical for a mid-tier GPU. The GTX 1660 Ti offers the advantages of new architecture without the expense and burden of superfluous features.
The GTX 1660 Ti achieves framerates at resolutions and settings roughly comparable to the GTX 1070. It doesn't reach the level of a GTX 1080, but it's an affordable upper-mid-range graphics card that will meet the needs of gamers and digital artists alike.
What would a versatile, powerful, balanced PC build look like with this GPU?

February 26th •
The short answer is yes. The long answer is slightly more complicated. You see, TRT and recreational steroids both use the same drugs—the difference is in the dose. And even the most beneficial compounds can become dangerous in the wrong dose.
If you're looking for an effective, safe way to revive your T levels, let's break down the difference between TRT and anabolic steroids—and show which is the best, safest testosterone replacement therapy method.
Testosterone is the male sex hormone. It's what makes men feel and look like men. Testosterone helps promote muscle growth, bone density, sperm production, and helps stave off mood swings.
But somewhere along the line, people have started confusing testosterone replacement therapy with anabolic steroids. That's like comparing a bicycle to a rocket ship, and that mix-up is doing a lot of harm.
Let's be clear—TRT to fix low testosterone and testosterone replacement therapy for bodybuilding are totally different.
There are very big differences, from legal nuances to side-effects. While the medication is the same for both TRT and steroid abuse (typically testosterone injections), the end goals are like night and day.
TRT, unlike anabolic steroids, and prescribed and administered under the supervision of a medical expert with years of training and experience. Doctors are crucial to help mitigate the side effects of TRT.
When used responsibly, testosterone injections restore vigor and vitality, making you feel like the man you once were.
Anabolic steroids aren't used for "feelings" or a general state of well-being—their use is primarily cosmetic or performance-enhancing, such as bodybuilding or sports.
Whatever your opinion on steroid use, it's not currently approved by the FDA, and testing still needs to be done to see if cosmetic steroid use if safe or not.
TRT, however, IS approved and medically safe.
Side effects of TRT can include male breast enlargement, mood swings, acne, fluid retention, and an enlarged prostate.
The side effects are similar for steroid abuse, but more pronounced and potentially dangerous—it makes sense that injecting more of something can increase its risks.
But besides the risks shared between TRT and illegal steroids, recreational steroid use also carries more substantial risks. Liver disease, high cholesterol, blood clots, heart disease and high blood pressure are not uncommon.
Simply put, steroid abuse is just not as safe as TRT. Getting superhuman muscles is not worth the potential risk to your heart and other vital organs.
If you're looking to improve your testosterone levels, your best bet is choosing a professional who can help—not injecting illegally.

If music be the food of love, festivals could give Viagra a run for its money. But can anyone truly get the horn amid the heady scent of stinking portaloos?MARS: NO
It is a Saturday afternoon in June and I am balancing precariously on a plank, trying my level best not to fall into a cesspool of mud.
My outfit du jour is a shapeless waterproof two-piece of non porous nylon that is clinging to my undergarments thanks to the five gallons of sweat that its sauna-like conditions have produced. My hood is tied tight to protect me from the driving rain. My glasses are fugged and the pair of two-sizes-too-small wellies that I haven't worn since my schooldays are slowly mashing my feet into a ball of putty.
Do I feel sexy? No, I do not.
I can honestly say that in the three days I spent wading back and forth through the filth and excrement of Glastonbury 2007 (and that was just Pete Doherty's set) there was not one moment where I got the horn.
Of course I saw the odd flash of mud streaked thigh as braver (or more out of it) souls than I strode about in hot pants and funky walking boots. But who has time to focus on that when you're trying to avoid pitching head first into the gloop?
Ok, so maybe last year's Glasto is an unfair example. Perhaps there are times at festivals when the sun comes out and you're all singing and swaying and communing with nature that you really do fancy taking your other half off and ravishing her amongst the cowpats.
But wouldn't you like a bit of privacy? Is the sound of happy campers burping, farting and peeing on your tepee really conducive to romance? Is the waft of the port-a-loos any sort of aphrodisiac?
Imagine trying to recreate the ambience of a festival for a romantic night at home with your loved one. First spray the room with BO, next chuck a towel over your speakers to really muffle the sound and finally put all the food and drink at a mate's house half a mile down the road so that it's stone cold (if it's food) or lukewarm (if it's beer) by the time you manage to retrieve it.
With such a heady mix as that what Venus could possibly resist?Venus: YES
He staggers past you, arms flailing, spilling lager as he stumbles through the mud (think Pete Doherty on a bender). He's dressed in green wellies and a kagoul (think Bill Oddie on Springwatch). What's more you know his bits haven't seen a bar of soap for at least 48 hours (think... um, Pete Doherty on a bender). So what is it about Glastonbury Man I find so sexy?
I must confess, in the 15 years I've been going to Glasto, there have been some decidedly unsexy moments. The first time I convinced a reluctant boyfriend to come with me, it was a complete mudbath, which might have been OK had I not forgotten to pack our wellies and then chosen the worst place to camp. We spent the entire festival huddled in a tiny dry corner of a flooded two-man tent, on top of each other, moaning. And not in a good way.
The next time I took a boyfriend, the festival had quite the opposite effect on his sex drive. Stu was a party-loving bad boy with more notches on his bedpost than Russell Brand but we were madly in love and if anyone knew how to have fun at a festival it was him. I was right. But sadly, he had it without me. All this 'festival of free love' business went straight to his head - as did the bottle of Vodka. I only saw him once... from a distance... two days later... covered in day-glo paint, writhing around outside a tipi with a girl in hotpants.
But, despite the mud, the portaloos and the dodgy ponchos, there's something about the festival spirit that fills me with friskiness. Perhaps it's the...
... Being part of a 150,000-person group hug when the sun comes out on a rainy day
... Watching sexy rock stars cavorting around the stage in skinny jeans and checked shirts open to the waist
... Seeing the sun come up from the stone circle in the Green Fields to the sound of bongo drums
.... Messy-haired men with toned, tanned torsos and tats in nothing but combat shorts and Converse.
... Catching the eye of a sexy bloke dancing in the crowd then him flashing you a cheeky grin
... Sitting on the grass on a sunny day, staring at people in cool outfits with a pint of Glastonbury cider in hand
... Your boyfriend dancing behind you with his arms around your waist while one of your all-time favourite bands is playing
... Dressing up in flowery dresses and piles of jewellery and wellies
... Being surrounded by people who aren't thinking about work, with smiles on their faces, not a care in the world
So on Friday 27th June, I'll be celebrating my 15 year Glastonbury anniversary. It's certainly stood by me longer than any man. I never thought 15 years on I'd be pitching a tent for one, but what better place to be getting over a being dumped than in a field full of young, frisky festival-goers!
It's not too late to join me, either. Tickets for this year's festival are still available at www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk

Where Moms Can Eat Free on Mother's Day
Well, frankly, you need to find the cash, because she's your mom. But if you're really so broke that you just can't pay to take her out, we've got good news: There are a few restaurants offering free meals and discounts for moms this weekend. However, as you might expect, they tend not to be fine-dining establishments.
Let's start with breakfast: Ikea is offering free coffee and breakfast (estimated value: $1.98) to moms on Sunday morning. If you want the breakfast-in-bed experience, you can bring it over to the bed section and serve it to her in the bed of her choice. The offer is good from opening to 11 a.m., and there's a limit of one free breakfast per family.
On to lunch: Texas Roadhouse, which is our favorite non-Patrick Swayze roadhouse, is offering a free side order of either ribs or grilled shrimp. The one catch: You have to be seated before 11 a.m. on Mother's Day, so hopefully mom isn't too full from that Ikea breakfast to enjoy an early lunch.

BeFrugal.com points out this offer from Uno Chicago Grill, which offers a free mini dessert from moms when you dine there on Mother's Day.
And if that dessert isn't enough for mom, Offers.com points out that TCBY is offering free frozen yogurt. Go into any TCBY location on Mother's Day and mom will get a free 6-ounce frozen yogurt, with all flavors and toppings included in the promotion.

An indoor garden can be a place for you to unwind and relax from life's everyday anxieties with your favorite flowers and plants. Several home garden enthusiasts can also grow their fruit and vegetables in the house once the season has ended. They can grow plants that are particularly vulnerable to weather or if their yard is infested with bugs, disease, or other problems.
An indoor garden will certainly assist you to grow some produce while they are not in season, however you will need to monitor regularly things such as the temperature level, light-cycles, and a few other things to grow appropriately.
Here is a list of things that you have to know when starting an indoor garden. Soil, lighting, humidity, temperature level and air circulation are the primary crucial elements in producing an indoor garden and will certainly keep your plants growing strong and healthy.
Although house plants normally require a percentage of sunlight to grow, plants that are usually grown in the garden such as flowers, herbs and vegetables usually will need at least six to eight hours of direct sunshine every day to effectively blossom or bear fresh fruit. Indoor lights can act as a sunshine replacement if the plants are not getting adequate sunshine. Plants mainly make use of the red and blue of the spectrum of detectable light.
Vegetation likewise needs to have dark time together with the light cycle to keep them healthy. This dark time can be as low as four hours. Making use of a timer on the lights will certainly make sure that they are getting enough light and dark time.
The temperature level is probably the simplest factors to handle with your indoor garden. The temperature is typically not an issue with the majority of indoor gardens because the majority of people keep their houses warm enough for the plants. Plants that are either too hot or cold will be at an enhanced threat of ending up being contaminated with pests and diseases.
The soil for the indoor garden is also essential. The soil inside a pot will dry more rapidly compared to the garden soil, so it has to be frequently checked. Common dirt will quickly end up being compressed if it is made use of, so you need to prevent using it, instead make use of a soil mixture. Whenever using a soil mix, it is far better to use a light soil mix to permit exceptional drain and air circulation throughout the root system. An exceptional soil mix for the majority of indoor gardens is made up of one part peat moss, one part sand, two parts fertile soil and a half part of cow manure.

Technology advancements push us to change. Some people do, some don't.
Those who feel compelled to adopt the new changes might get excited, or not.
Those who do, might get addicted or not.
If they do, do they also take a moment to realize what's useful to keep from previous behaviours? And what not?
If they do, they might just be at the point to adopt the change with all the benefits accumulated from past experiences.
Talking about change: what behaviours and beleifs would you like to carry on in 2015? Which one to leave behind or adjust?
Have a wonderful New Year! 🙂

Starting a company is challenging. Coming up with a winning idea, sourcing capital, registering the company, getting official papers, hiring staff, developing a marketing plan and acquiring client are all tough heights to scale. This venture requires a lot of hard work, and many end up in failure. And this is why so many would-be entrepreneurs keep dreaming and planning, and never take the leap.
But for those who survive, the benefits of entrepreneurship are enormous and well worth the difficulties they face on the road to success. Hundreds of thousands of people across the country see the big picture every year and pull the trigger. If you're about starting or you've just started your company, your next challenge is probably to break even and see some good numbers coming in.
Well, for a beginner that is 20 years old, growing a company to 7 figures is not an easy task. Somehow a young man who currently is 22 years old managed to do so at only 20 years of age. He is Filip Boksa who started and blew up a maid company pretty quickly. I wanted to know how he did it.
How easy was it to reach 1 million in revenue within a year of business and with zero experience?
To be completely honest, it wasn't that hard, but it was a lot of work. I was in my first year of college when the business was started, so I had to balance between school and the business. It made it challenging, so as soon as some good numbers were coming in, I dropped out and focused every hour on the company.
What kind of working hours and what routine did you have during the beginning stages?
Well, the beginning stages were exhausting, haha. I would answer phones every day 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sundays. When we weren't busy, I would do marketing in the mean time and as much of it as possible. After closing hours, I would do more marketing and learning till about 1:00 AM at night and I would go to bed. The next day I would wake up a bit early to prepare myself, and I repeated the process for over a year straight without a single day off till it was time to hire someone and get our first office at the time. I even worked all the Holidays that year including Christmas, Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving and New Year. I did, however, manage to take a bit of time on Christmas Eve and Thanksgiving to eat with my family. Besides that, no one knew I existed. I worked so hard my mother would yell at me and tell me I'm insane and a workaholic.
Where did you learn marketing?
I regularly read books and blogs! I read so much information daily from the most successful people I could find based on the topic I was learning.
Whom did you study, if you don't mind me asking?
Some of the successful individuals that I studied and still do were Bill Gates; you must study everything about the richest person in the world! Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan; this might sound silly but I was always a huge fan of basketball, and I fell in love with these two players from day one, especially Kobe, mostly because he was still playing when I was watching the sport. I picked up a lot from them too. I admired their work ethics so much. I wanted to know everything about them and what makes them achieve such greatness. I also learned, to be great you have to copy and model yourself after the great, which is exactly what Kobe did. He copied Michael Jordan in everything he did and became great himself. Some other greats I studied were Tony Robbins, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Oprah, Napoleon Hill, Henry Ford, Dale Carnage and a few others. I studied a lot of successful people, and the list can go on!
What were the channels that were working well for you at the time?
For the first month, it was Craigslist. At that time, there was a program that allowed me to run ads non-stop. I took advantage of that until it stopped working and managed to make enough money to invest in SEO which didn't come into play for a long time. In the meantime, we were building our reputation across sites such as Angie's List, Yelp, and Thumbtack. By the time Craigslist stopped working, we were able to leverage these sites and convert as many customers into recurring customers for constant cash flow. After that, word of mouth became the best source. We then used Facebook ads and Google AdWords to gain even more clients which also proved to be a good investment.
When you first hit 1 million in revenue what was your reaction?
My first reaction was, I want more and look how easy this was. The beautiful thing was when I first started my goal was to make a $100,000 a year and live a happy life. Once the company did seven figures in revenue and I crushed my goals, my whole perspective changed. I no longer have a limit on my goals, and I want to achieve true greatness in my life by helping others find their passions and meet their goals.
What kind of advice do you have for future entrepreneurs?
Become passionate about something, believe in yourself even if no one else will, work super hard, surround yourself with successful/hardworking people, and learn as much as you can! If you follow those simple rules, you will be able to achieve greatness in business and life.

This article describe natural and environmental features on territory of the Azerbaijan Republic and on the territory of California state of USA, Also this article describe features of tourism economy for innovation developing in future.
Keywords: tourism, environmental, natural, innovation, economy.
Two mountainous area, Great Caucasus and Sierra-Nevada, considered by us, appropriately surrounds northern part of Azerbaijan and central part of California State USA. Thus, the highest peak in Great Caucasus mountains is 4466 meters (Bazarduzu), 4421 meters in Sierra-Nevada mountains (Whitney mountain). Both mountain systems stretch from north-west to south east. But, inclination of Sierra-Nevada mountains in meridian direction is less.
Both Great Caucasus mountains, and Sierra-Nevada mountains were emerged in Alpian-Himalay orogenic level. There is one different opportunity in creation of this young mountain systems, so, Great Caucasus mountains were emerged in collision of two materic typed canopy (Africa and Asia), and Sierra-Nevada mountains from materic and ocean typed canopies (America and Pacific Ocean).
As it is well known Greater Caucasus Mountains are located in humid temperate climate zone. Sierra Nevada Mountains in the State of California, has a Mediterranean climate. The height of the mountain system is subject to both vertical waist. The western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains landscape stretches from waste of the desert landscape, the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus Mountains from the arid landscape subniveal, Nival waist landscape.
We have seen in the rich mountain systems, the marvelous nature of the area revealed the need for the creation of a large tourist complexes. Sierra Nevada Mountains to the ancient history of the establishment of tourist facilities in the United States and the State of California. Mountain system has great importance for tourism and mountain tourism. Climate and the Sierra-Nevada Mountains hypsometrics opportunities in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains, turned into mountain tourism, the tourism industry. Each number of tourists coming to the millions, and the number of tourists coming to the Caucasus Mountains and is measured in thousands.
The southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, the largest mountain in winter and summer sports complex Tufandag tourist complex. This mountainous area has favorable conditions for the rest of the tourist site is located about 4 km from the city of Gabala. Currently under construction in the immediate vicinity of the mountain-skiing base "Caucasian Resort" hotel building complex of three hotels, SPA-center, amusement park, has the capacity for the rest of the summer. The complex of mountain-skiing and nature trips are available throughout the year. Here are 4 ski tracks, 10 are operating a cable line.
Mount Whitney Base Camp complex in Sierra Nevada welcomes more than 30.000 tourists each year. Best travel opportunities were created here for alpinists. Seguava National park is located here, natural condition, beauty were interested by tourists. When being acquainted with tourism of Sierra Nevada, here national parks are main objects of tourism. Because of the nature of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, is invaluable to the tourist attraction that has no analogues. For example, in the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus, waterfalls, springs attract the attention of tourists. However, in certain areas, and these areas are stored in the form of National Parks condition created for tourist trips can get a higher result. Founded in 2006 in the south of the Caucasus Mountains Shah Dag National Park can be used for this purpose. Areas should be allocated to this area for tourist camps. Sierra Nevada from Yosemite National Park, 13 popular tourist camp (campground) are available.Application of this tendention in our country would be useful.
The second area of tourism in the mountains of Sierra Nevada forests. But strictly protected forests in the region, as well as being used for tourism. Their Plumas National Forest, Eldorado National Forest, Tahoe National Forest land is like. So far it has been a tourist in the area. Forest tourism is developed in the future can be very large. The southern slope of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, oak, beech, hornbeam forests, nature walks in the forest qorunarsa tourism can be developed. However, we can not prevent the destruction of forests in the fastest way, but also we can develop tourism.
Tahoe lake located in western part of Sierra-Nevada mountains is one of tourist bases. Lake tourism, water sport types, skiing are developed in Tahoe lake and more than 3 million tourists come to this region. This tourism may be developed in iced sourced Tufalgol in Great Caucasus mountains. When we consider that, mountain tourism was developed in Tufandagh, so, development and organization of lake tourism will be significant for our country.
That one of the beauties of nature is waterfall, and the Greater Caucasus Mountains, and the Sierra Nevada mountains are rich with waterfalls. Katekh in the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus Mountains (Balakan dist), Ilisu (Gakh district), Seven Beauties, Durja (Gabala), and so on. Views of waterfalls, attracts tourists with its beauty. Sierra Nevada Mountains, Yosemite National Park in the west, there is a magnificent waterfall, a very small area of the park, "Land of Waterfalls" is called.
One sphere of tourism is visit of historical monuments, and it is existed significantly in southern slope of Great Caucasus. Craftsman yard in Lahij settlement (Ismayilli region), Chukhur Gabala, old mosques, museums, tombs in Gabala region are the most visited places by tourists.
Central Valley surrounding central part of California state consists of two parts: Sacramento valley and San Joaquin valley. Sacramento valley surrounds area in northern part from Sacramento river, which is the longest of state and San Joaquin valley surrounds area in southern part from San Joaquin river. Central valley was surrounded from east with Sierra-Nevada mountains, and from west with San-Francisco gulf and Coastal rocks, from south with Tehachapi mountains. Central valley may be compared with Kur intermountain depression and Lankaran province being located in Azerbaijan territory. Thus, three are similar features between natural condition of these areas surrounded with Iranian plateau, being boundaried with Great Caucasus mountains from north and north-west, Lesser Caucasus mountains from west, Caspian sea from east and Araz river from south and natural condition of Central valley of California.
Semidesert and dry subtropical climate with mild winter, dry and hot summer is typical in Kur-Araz lowland. Lankaran province, surrounding southern part of country, is located in humid subtropical climatic zone. Totally Mediterranean sea climatic type is predominated in Central valley located in California state. Sacramento valley surrounding northern part of central valley is differed with its humidity and low temperature in comparison with San Joaquin valley located in southern part. As well as Chiko, Redding and Red Bluff areas located in Sacramento valley is characterized with relatively cool and high humidity for their temperature conditions. San Joaquin valley surrounding southern part of Central valley is concerned to field semi-type of Mediterranean sea climatic type.
Soils being fit for agriculture and climatic condition in both Central valley and Kur depression proves suitable condition for agricultural development here. Even Central valley is known as one of territories having most commonly planted soils in the world. Rural tourism program was made and is being developed in some areas of California as well as in Central valley. In future, progress in this direction of tourism in some areas of Lankaran province may be suitable for rural settlement of province. Moreover, some steps were taken in way of wide usage for tourism development from Central valley rivers. Thus, for increment of agricultural income and widening of agro-tourism in in the delta of Sacramento river, mission titled "Sacramento River Delta Grown Agri-Tourism Association" is being executed. Significant steps were taken for enwidening of river bank tourism in Kur depression province. Thus, some years ago, project commenced to be executed in connection with restoration of the edge of Kur and re-settlement of boulevard in Yevlakh city. Main purpose was to change Kur river bank into tourism zone, to aid interesting relaxation of human and include new architectural element to city image.
Human creation is needed for tourism development due to plain relief and dry climate, in a word natural condition potential of nature in Central vally and Kur depression is not suitable for tourism. So, various service types included in museums, concerts, competitions, American people music, laying out gardens in Central Valley is developed for enwidening of tourism area and gained popularity as tourism area nowadays. One of areas, these service types are applied is Bakersfield city, this area was turned lovely meeting place of different group and associations in western part of USA. It is known with useful and desired service, reasonable prices, suitability of area. More than 5400 hotel rooms, wide and comfortable meeting places, world-recognized entertaining places, purchase centers etc are existed in Bakersfield city. So, when estimating, it is seen that, enwidening of service spheres acting in Kur depression province and Lankaran province may give great profit for tourism.
One of spheres involving tourists is natural and historical monuments of country, Azerbaijan territory as well as kur depression and Lankaran province is rich with these monuments. As an example to natural monuments in this areas, Turyanchay State Nature Reserve, Aghgol National Park, Shirvan State reserve, Gizilaghaj State Natural reserve may be indicated. Moreover, Lankaran province, especially Masalli region area is rich with mineral water springs. Thermal water, and iced cold water are distinguished among them. Lots of sulfur and other microelements are in content of water of some springs. Istisu mineral spring is located in one of picturesque mountaneous nock of region and water of this spring has treatment features. Thermal water fountain and suspension bridge give special beauty to these places. Istisu, by being most popular treatment mineral water, by packing, is sold in pharmacies of country.
In example to historical monuments, Mingachevir State Dramatic Theatre, Khaldan Juma mosque and Hajilar bridge in Yevlakh region area, Barda tomb or Nushaba castle in Barda region area, Bahman Mirza tomb, Juma mosque, Underground bath monumental complex in Goychay, well-known sanctuary Hun baba sacred place in Saatli, Kerbalayi Hamid Abdulla bath in Astara region, Karvansara in Salyan region may be indicated. These areas is considered as most visited places by tourists.
Minor Caucasus mountains by locating in the west of Azerbaijan, has similarity with Coastal mountains being located in the western part of California state USA both relief and plant cover view. Minor Caucasus mountains consist of Shahdagh, Murovdagh, Garabagh, Mikhtoken, Garagaya ranges and average mountanious areas around them in Azerbaijan territory. It lies in direction of 600 km from north-west to south-east. The highest peak is Gamishdagh, located in Murovdagh range (3724 meters).
Coastal mountain are observed with north and south coastal mountains climatic types. Average annual rainfall is 800-850 meters in interval of 2400-2800 meters. Climate of coastal mountains is featured with dry and mild summer, humidity in winter in north. Oak and mixed forests are characterised for both area.
Coast Mountains - is divided into three regions North Coast, Central Coast, and San Francisco Bay area and two parts. Bolli Yolla to the north part of the mountain range consists of the mountains of the northern California coast, and the mountains of Trinti-Hayfork and in the southern part of the South Coast Mountains (in part), South Coast Mountains (part of the coast), the Santa Cruz Mountains and so on. Ridges were formed. The Lesser Caucasus Mountains in the north-west coast like this, in the south-east, a distance of 640 km stretch. It was the height of 2468 meters the highest mountain peak Mount Lin.
Northern part is divided into Del-Norte, Homboldt, Trinti, Mendoniko and Leyk regions. Area is differed from other regions for its nature. Northern part by being humid, caused forming of dense forests in wide areas. Redwood forests are known with high, great trees. Trees up to 150 meters heigh involve tourists. Tree climbing creates great interest for tourists. Relatively similar nature is seen in Gadabay, in the territory of Azerbaijan. Forests comprise of trees up to 27-30 meters of heigh and they are characterised by being young.
San Francisco consists of Bay Area, Sonoma, Lapand, Solano, Marin, Contra-Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara and San Benito regions. The tourist, entertainment, tram rides, whale watching, biking and so on. are related. Most of the places of tourist attraction such as the De Young Museum, Golden Gate Park, Koit Castle, the former prison island of Alkatraz, Redvud forests and more can be shown. In the Lesser Caucasus, Ganja for the tourist and the local tram service has been started to restore.
The Central Coast region, Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara regions of the Coast Mountains are separated.
Central Coast region is selected wide sandy beaches, cliffs and parks. Surfing tourists, golf, equestrian, fishing and so on. We have to deal with the conditions. Different types of plants rich "Lotusland" invaluable to anyone interested in the botanical area. Suitable for picnics and whale-watching off the coast. Aquarium of the Bay of Monterey place attracts tourists from around the world. Santa Barbara Zoo is in the public interest, especially for the little tourists.
Mojaviya desert and Death Valley, California is located in the south and south-east. According to the physical and geographical characteristics of the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan, located in the south-west with the similar. Mojaviya located in Desert Death Valley, the territory of the United States was the height of the lowest is -86 meters. Mojaviya Tehacapi desert, San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains and is surrounded by an area of 35,000 km².
NAR is located in southwest of the Lesser Caucasus. Geomorphological regionalization of the territory of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and the Lesser Caucasus mountains geomorphological Araz Nakhchivan region (Middle Araz) is the lowland sub-regions. The average elevation of 1450 meters.
Both are distinguished by climate continentality. So, NAR's summers are hot and dry, while winters are cold and rainy.temperature is reached 49 C in summer and 54 C in plain areas in valley of Mokhave dessert. It is snowing in winter in dessert mountains. Snow causes closing of some auto-magistrals. Average temperature of winter month reachs 0 C.
Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, its geographical position, its climate, flora and fauna, ancient monuments, creates favorable conditions for the development of tourism. Here is a relic of ancient times, the natural and historical monuments - Momina Khatun, Garabaghlar, Joseph Kuseyir, Gulistan tombs, preserved for centuries, which is over 800 years old Oriental plane, the blacksmith, mulberry trees and reflecting the historical memory of the first settlement of ancient people - the Gamigaya, key cave, the grandeur of the venues, which is the symbol of invincibility of Cat Castle, magnificent Ilandag, unique natural monuments in the sky, lake, sleepers, and hundreds of works of art is not analogous to the Nakhchivan region's tourism potential. Mojave Desert is one of the most popular tourist destinations. Distinguished by the predominance of the national parks in the area. Here are three - Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, Mojaviya the national reserve. California National Park, California Antelope Valley, Lancaster Hover Dam parks is in the Mojaviya national reserve.

Remakes are here to stay, and there's nothing you can do about it. That seems to be the general message Warner Bros are sending out this week.
The studio have unveiled a list of films that they'll be rebooting and/or remaking at some point in the near future. Warning: this list has blood-boiling potential.
Their catalogue of remake-worthy films includes the likes of Lethal Weapon, Westworld, Oh God, The Dirty Dozen, Tarzan and The Wild Bunch.
Of the titles there, Lethal Weapon is the current front-runner, with Will Beall reportedly hired to pen a script for a new film (Mel Gibson's Lethal Weapon 5 is now dead in the water).
Beall recently paired up with Zombieland 's Ruben Fleischer to write Gangster Squad , which Fleischer will direct.
It all smacks of cynical money-grabbing – using a famous title to draw in audiences where a new title might not be quite so successful. Can something good come out of any of these? Does anybody even care anymore?

Service Title: Risk Assessments and Health & Safety Policy
Duration: Written & delivered as quickly as possible
Fee: Dependant on time involved (Free quotes available)
Health & Safety legislation places a number of duties on employers. Failure to carry out these duties can result in fines and/or imprisonment. The fundamental principle is that every employer must take reasonable care of their own safety and the safety of others who may be affected by their acts or omissions.
Accidents can cost a great deal of money, especially when we take into account interruption to the work process, negative effect on quality & reputation, possible damage to the environment, and of course there is the potential for massive legal costs and fines should the accident lead to a court case.
Many case studies have demonstrated the difference between insured costs and uninsured costs are often between 8 and 36 times greater than the cost of insurance premiums.
As a business owner or manager you are required by various Acts of Law to have a Health & Safety Policy in place along with a set of Risk Assessments for the tasks that are carried out within work place.
This is a very onerous task if you do not have experience in writing polices or risk assessments or in deed the time.
Our process:
We offer a free initial visit to your property to make an assessment of the time & costs involved in producing your policies & risk assessments. This quote will be made in writing for you to consider and if you engage us to carry out your assessments we revisit your property to carry out the detailed study required to produce your documents.
Once all your policies & assessments have been written and printed, we return to your property to deliver them to you. We spend time to talk you through the documents so that you have the knowledge to put them in place and keep the up to date
We return to your property annually or at a time of major change to review your documents, to allow changes to be made and to 'sign them off' for another year. This whole process shows 'due diligence' to your companies Health & Safety.

Who chooses what gets played?
It's the Lord himself, that is Lord Elrond, not the other guy. Hints on what to be played can be sent in the forums. Then there's a screening /earling process of every track to see that it meets the high standards of our listeners. We could play everything we get, but sometimes it could "upset" the listeners. Our listeners use our radio for roleplaying, writing books, drawing, studying and such. If a lousy tune gets played they could sue us. Oh, well, not really but you get what I'm getting at?

On July 6, 2018, China and the United States levied tariffs on each other, ushering in a trade war between the two nations. The trade war may not result in a significant impact on the scope of trade between the two countries, as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will likely back down. Nonetheless, this historical event has had a dramatic impact on the relationship between the two countries.
Winston Churchill, one of the greatest political leaders of the 20th century, visited the U.S. 72 years ago and gave his famous Iron Curtain Speech, also known as the Sinews of Peace, at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. The world did not recognize it at the time, but Winston Churchill's impassioned speech warned of a new era that eventually led to a Cold War with the Soviet Union that lasted for over 40 years.
On July 6, 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump gave his first speech in Europe in Warsaw, Poland. He was full of praise for the Polish people who fought against the Nazis during World War II and who stood against Communism in the 1980s. In his speech, President Trump highlighted: "We must keep out all powers that can damage our traditional values." He gave another speech at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2017, where he stated: "Wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure." At first glance, these two speeches may seem like a small wave in the sea of history, but they represented the staging of a significant policy shift.
A trade war and the response of the CCP
Change is taking place in China. Even before the trade war began, the Chinese economy had a rocky start in 2018. The stock market crashed, the bond market has lost value, the RMB drastically tumbled in June, and Forex (FX) currency reserves fell.
One observer noted that the complicated internal economic crisis in China was akin to a simmering volcano, and the trade war between China and the U.S. can be described as a seismic wave that may lead to an eruption.
On July 6, U.S. tariffs on US$34 billion worth of Chinese goods kicked in, escalating a war of words between the world's two largest economies into a full-blown trade conflict. The 25 percent duties were applied on 818 products produced in China worth US$34 billion. If the CCP tries to exact revenge, the U.S. administration will levy another 10 percent import tariff on products worth an additional US$200 billion. In response, the CCP has announced it would levy the same amount of import tariff on U.S. products, but did not explain how it would respond to the additional tariffs worth US$200 billion, which exceeds the total amount of China's imports from the U.S. by US$70 billion.
During this trade war between China and the U.S., the tariffs, worth hundreds of billions of dollars, can serve as a quantitative index, but their impact is similar to small arms fire. What troubles the CCP most is a heavy weapon known as non-tariff barriers to trade (NTBs). In a word, the CCP must fulfill the request to perform equal and fair trade just as other foreign nations. Most nations are in a position to conform to such as request; however, for the CCP, it is an impossible task since it requires the reform of its economic system and the removal of Internet restrictions. China's economic system is intertwined with its political system, and once its people have free access to the Internet, CCP governance will eventually collapse.
Recently, the White House launched a report entitled How China's Economic Aggression Threatens the Technologies and Intellectual Property of the United States and the World, which pointed out that China's growth was achieved by unfair economic aggression. In December 2017, the White House announced the publication of another report entitled National Security Strategy, which warned that the CCP is using economic means to export its influence worldwide.
To defend the country from the CCP's economic aggression, the United States is using other weapons in its arsenal other than just relying on tariffs.
The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are working together to promote the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA), and to reinforce reviews of foreign investment to prevent the CCP from stealing U.S. intellectual property rights from Chinese companies. One of the perpetrators, ZTE Corporation, may have escaped sanctions, but the Senate and House have resorted to legal measures to ensure that ZTE will be held accountable.
The change in China is a crisis that can be likened to a rumbling volcano, and the international community's attitude toward the CCP has changed in response to these internal rumblings.
Disclosure of CCP infiltration in the U.S.
On June 28, 2018, Republican Senator Marco Rubio and Democrat Senator Catherine Cortez Masto introduced a cross-party bill to ask the U.S. administration for disclosure of CCP influence on U.S. politics. The bill is grounded in the Cold War era in 1985 when Congress asked the State Department to disclose how Soviet Communism had been distorting information and manipulating the media in the United States. The senior senators from both political parties proposed the bill, which reflects a growing perception of the CCP as an immediate threat, similar to how the U.S. viewed the Soviet Union during the Cold War era.
The president of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Carl Gershman, who testified before Congress on June 14, stated that the CCP: "is the most serious threat faced by the United States in 2018 today." He likened the CCP to Nazi Germany ruled by Hitler and the Soviet Union ruled by Stalin.
Distinguishing between China and the CCP
On June 4, 2018, while the world expressed its commiserations for the 29th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, the U.S. House proposed a cross-party draft bill to stop the CCP's interference in U.S. politics and institutions. The draft bill stated that the United States should distinguish between the people of China, Chinese culture, and the CCP, and provide measures to stipulate a strategy to block the CCPs infiltration into U.S. politics and institutions.
In February of this year, Senator Marco Rubio and Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, along with several other members of the Congress, told the press: "The people of China are the best allies of the United States," and "The United States supports the people in China, but will not support the CCP's political power." At a public hearing on human rights also in February, Senator Rubio said that the United States does not mean to stop the development of China, but to address a point — how the CCP government treats its people.
The CCP "Long Arm" strategy has infiltrated the economies, culture, diplomacy, academics, and defense of many countries across the globe. At a Senate hearing in February 2018, the FBI stated that investigations into scores of Chinese government-funded Confucius Institutes across the U.S. are taking place following concerns that they are part of covert spying and influence operations that make "use of non-traditional collectors, especially in the academic setting."
On June 28, Australian lawmakers overwhelmingly passed a series of bills to crack down on foreign interference, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull saying they're needed to stop reported meddling by China and other nations in the nation's government, media, and universities.
Disrupting the CCP economic strategy
It has been a bad year for the CCP. The Belt and Road Initiative to reinstate the world economic order is stumbling. Several neighboring countries — like Malaysia, Pakistan, Nepal, and Myanmar — have begun to boycott the CCP. Even European countries have come up with new measures to respond to the Belt and Road Initiative.
Professor Chiu-ching Kuo, who teaches at the Institute of European Studies of Tamkang University, said at the end of June that the European Union is working on ways to stipulate the Euro-Asian networking strategy to boycott the CCP's Belt and Road Initiative. Kuo said many countries — such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France — have doubts about the initiative and consider it a political tactic of the CCP.
Critics suspect that the Belt and Road Initiative is an asset trap to pay off debts from China's "New Imperialism." The latest example is Sri Lanka, which formally handed over a strategic port on the coast of the Indian Ocean to China in July 2017 after struggling to pay its debt to Chinese firms. In order to strengthen its presence in the Indian Ocean, the CCP has invested heavily in the region and has rehabilitated the facilities at the port as part of the Belt and Road Initiative.
In addition to the Belt and Road Initiative, the "Made in China 2025" is another strategic plan under scrutiny. This policy appears to be a legitimate industrial goal, but in fact, the CCP uses unfair tactics to deceive other countries in order to obtain foreign technologies. It does this by pirating foreign intellectual property rights and creating domestic trade barriers for the purpose of achieving a leadership role in technology. Several countries are becoming increasingly aware of the tactics employed by the CCP to achieve its goals and have started to boycott the policy.
The German State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, Matthias Machnig, said early this year that Germany is working with France and Italy to come up with a draft bill asking the European Union to launch stricter laws to prevent the CCP from acquiring corporations in Europe, and to reduce the outflow of technologies and knowledge to China. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sigmar Gabriel, also stated that the German government must protect its key technologies and noted the existence of a "Cold War in Technology."
Containing CCP influence in the Pacific
In 2015, the U.S. administration launched the Asia-Pacific Rebalancing Strategy, which allocated 60 percent of total Navy assets to the Pacific Fleet and increased ground troop levels in the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. global strategic matrix changed with the current administration as the Asia-Pacific Strategy was replaced by the Indo-Pacific Strategy. The intent is to counter recent moves by the CCP with an Indo-Pacific Strategy that includes the support of India, Japan, Australia, and the ASEAN countries.
In November 2017, President Trump addressed the Indo-Pacific Strategy (Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy) during his Asia tour, with the countries of India, Japan, Australia and the U.S. forming the hedge of the strategy. The U.S. administration made it clear in a National Security Strategy Report in December 2017 that China and Russia are strategic competitors to U.S. national security interests. In January 2018, the Pentagon's new National Defence Strategy stressed the Joint Force to carry out the strategy and for the first time, Inter-state strategic competition from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea was the primary U.S. national security concern rather than terrorism, as was the case during previous administrations.
On May 30, 2018, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis announced that the official name for the U.S. Pacific Command was to be the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. In announcing the change in the name of the U.S. military command, Jim Mattis made a point of saying that the Indo-Pacific region has "many belts and many roads," underscoring the concerns of the administration has about the CCP and its intentions. The new command is in line with the Indo-Pacific Strategy and emphasizes the importance the U.S. military places on moving between the Pacific and Indian oceans as a counter move to the CCP's Belt and Road Initiative.
The U.S. Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC) is a large-scale bi-annual navel exercise with more than 20 countries taking part, including Japan, Australia, Britain, and France. China has been invited to the rehearsal twice, once in 2014 and another in 2016. However, there's no place for the CCP in this year's exercise. At the same time, Vietnam and several ASEAN countries also joined the exercise, as did India and Sri Lanka, two South Asian countries that grew close to the CCP in recent years.
Amidst the high tensions in Russia-U.S. relationships, President Trump decided to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in a summit held in Finland on July 16, despite the CCP endowing the "Order of Friendship" on President Putin on June 8 in an attempt to convince him to stand by China. This is not China's first attempt to foster a stronger China-Russian alliance. In 1991, former CCP leader Jiang Zemin signed the "Russia-China Boundary Agreement," which transferred approximately 1.6 million square kilometers of Chinese territory to Russia.
Still, President Putin, this former KGB foreign intelligence officer and Communist Party member, has proven himself to be a dangerous and disruptive actor, and it's hard to predict where he will stand at the critical moment.
From a strategic point of view, by offering an olive branch to President Putin, the U.S. administration hopes to convince him or his successors that Russia needs a better relationship with the West — that the price of confronting the U.S. and its European allies is simply too high — and that a more moderate posture is warranted. Goodwill to Russia can be seen as giving them a choice, but for Russia to stand aside from the Iron Curtain and to join the West in containing China, it must first conclude that it can't beat the West by cooperating with the CCP.

I was surprised at the great variety of worksheets available on the site. These aren't just your basic matching or multiple choice sheets. There are hands-on cutting and pasting sheets. There are puzzles to print. There are games to print. There are themed worksheets with kid-friendly pictures and themes. With this variety, it was pretty easy to find worksheets that were good fits for different learning styles.
One of the main reasons I wanted to check out Super Teacher Worksheets was to find supplementary math worksheets for the younger girls- grades 5 and 6. We've had so many math hassles before we settled on our current curriculum, and I've been concerned about gaps they may have in their math skills. Super Teacher has sooo many great math worksheets. Once you choose a category of worksheets- such as math- you'll see a whole listing of the types of worksheets available for that category.
Once you choose the type of worksheet you want, you'll see individual worksheets listed with a description and a grade range suggested.

In the Social Studies category, there are quite a few worksheets about American history. I'm doing American history with my younger girls this year, and I found some printable State Report worksheets that I want to use with them later in the year.
The Teaching Tools category is filled with resources like a simple lesson planner and gradebook, kids' assignment sheets, calendars, and students awards. These are the kind of thing I'd spend hours searching for when I need to print them. And here I can find them all in one place easily.
There are even printable papers- basic lined paper, handwriting paper, and even graph paper. How many times have the kids needed graph paper, and we discovered we didn't have it? I can even print graph paper!
One of my favorite parts of the Super Teacher Worksheets site is the Worksheet Generator. In this section I can make my own worksheets for things like math speed drills. I've been trying to use speed drills with the younger girls to help them become quicker with basic math facts. This worksheet generator lets me make addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division speed drill sheets. I can also make puzzles with the generator. This lets me whip up a word search with our current science vocabulary or a crossword puzzle with history terms. I can also make up quizzes or flashcards with the generator.
A very nice feature of Super Teacher Worksheets is My Filing Cabinet. This allows me to find worksheets that I want to use and save them. This is a real time saver because I can take time when I'm planning and save sheets that interest me to use later. Then when I'm in the midst of school and think of a worksheet that we need, I'll have it saved in the filing cabinet.
Although many of the worksheets here are recommended for K-middle school, there are definitely worksheets that I've ended up finding for the older age group as well. I mentioned the puzzle worksheets above. I also went on the lookout for reading comprehension worksheets that Charles (9th grade) could use. I found a good variety of worksheets that can be used to build reading comprehension, and they are good for all ages.
Super Teacher Worksheets really is a great resource. Even a non traditional workbook/textbook homeschooler like me can find so many useful printables here.

Social media extortion is the new crime trend which the Delhi police is grappling with and the fight has got tougher with three incidents reported back to back this month.
In all three incidents, the perpetrators created fake accounts on a social network site, uploaded morphed pictures and videos, and dropped messages demanding money — which ranged between Rs 15,000 - Rs 80,000 — to get the accounts taken down, a police source said.
He further said, the complainants pertaining to the three matters are women in their early 20s, including the daughter of a south Delhi-based doctor.
A senior police official said, in such offences the probe starts with tracing the IP addresses. If such incidents have taken place, it is a serious matter and strict action will be taken against the perpetrators.
Fake accounts
The source further said, from preliminary investigation it emerged that the perpetrators are into mass creation of fake accounts.
In the matter related to the south-Delhi based doctor's daughter, the IP address was traced and it emerged that the same had as many as 12 log-in terminals. IP addresses in the other cases are in the process of being traced.
A similar incident also took place with a Ghaziabad-based journalist and the matter was reported at Kavi Nagar Police Station there. In this matter, also reported this month, the accused demanded Rs 3,00,000 from her, said a source.
Interestingly, in all four cases, including that of the journalist, the accused persons tried to validate their extortion bid on the pretext of loan repayments, suggesting some sort of a modus operandi for gangs which have so far not been under the police scanner.
For instance, in one case, the perpetrator claimed to be the employee of a prominent bank and told the victim that he was doing so as she had not repaid a nearly nine-year-old loan, back when the woman was actually a student, the source added.
In September 2015, Delhi Police had come across the first case of extortion through social media, though it did not involve creation of any fake account.
A youth from Haryana's Kurukshetra district was found extorting money from a law student from Azerbaijan, whom he had befriended over a social networking site, threatening to upload her morphed photographs on pornographic websites.
