Does getting leads frustrate you? Remember that patience is a part of marketing. If you do it wrong, you'll wait forever. The tips here will help you get on the right track when trying to generate leads.
You need to understand what lead values are. Depending on the campaign you're running, not all leads will be appropriate for them. Qualify targeted leads so that you don't pursue bad leads and waste your time. Getting and using the good leads is what is going to make you successful.
Make sure to focus on opt-outs and privacy concerns. Keep track of the leads that you've had opt out of getting incentives and offers. You must respect their privacy, but you also do not want to waste your own time on them.
Your phone can be your friend. You may be amazed at how people respond to your offer. No matter what you're selling, someone out there is looking for it.
Are there events related to your business? A realtor, for instance, may want to keep an eye out for wedding shows in their area. New couples need new homes, so set up a table and get the word out! Look in the newspaper and online to find events you may be interested in.
Speak to local businesses if you want to. If personal organizing is your niche, then discuss with businesses how they can better organize their offices. Yoga instructors can give tips for easy stretches that can be done quickly through the day. Make your skills a needed service for others.
Uncover lead groups that are working effectively in your home town. Such groups are comprised of local entrepreneurs and other businesspeople who leverage each other's data to get new leads. This can generate you a lot of quality leads. At some point, you will probably hear someone say they want to quit smoking or need a certain type of medical care, and you may be in a place to give back to them in the same way.
Target your lead gathering to those who want your product or service. Gathering regular leads can be fine if you want to attract a broad range of people. That said, if you want to boost profits, bring in targeted leads only.
Speak to people while waiting in line. There's not any harm that comes from being nice and you won't know what you'll run into. But be mindful to not try to sell to them right off the bat. Take some time to ease in it by asking questions that will help you understand if they're open to what you have to offer.
Blow as often as possible to promote exposure. Getting them to subscribe means they'll check back often. This ensures your leads return to read more. Blogging is a great tool that can help you find new business leads.
We hope this information has gone beyond simply imparting a few useful tips. You now should have motivation and be ready to get new leads for the business you run. It may seem hard, but you will be successful if you use the advice here.

Unfortunately this isn't a takedown piece as I can't ascertain who the person or company Vazza is, but they sell a lot of phone cases on Amazon. And some of them feature art for which they have not obtained a license or permission for.
So let me just outline what I can so that anyone finding this while researching cases will know.
The very talented Jenny Parks (comics fans may recognize her Marvel cat variant covers ) was tipped off to one of her works being used on a Vazza case sold on Amazon ( by Vazza, Taobao and Cellection). Several people left comments on the item and Jenny contacted Amazon and the item became unavailable, presumably while Amazon investigates. Here's a comparison image and a link to the item on her Etsy store if you're interested in a legitimate item.
While looking into this (thanks Andriana for the heads-up) I found two other DeviantArt artists whose works were being used. I passed this along to Jenny and she's going to contact them (as she's on DA and I am not). One was this adorable giraffe by amidot.
Another was this Heath Ledger Joker pencil rendering by gokhansav.
So if you're buying a case on Amazon and the brand or seller is Vazza, please be cautious. Hopefully Amazon will look into this a bit deeper as I suspect there are plenty of more un-licensed images on their cases. As I said, I couldn't sort out who they are, but my suspicion is that it's a Chinese company doing the printing and importing and someone in the US or Australia doing the graphics and text (they're clearly in touch with Western pop culture). Or it could be that Vazza is just a distributor and is buying from another party. It's hard to say. So we'll have to leave this one as is for now.

The next phone application I am going to review is called Local Eats. This phone app allows you to see the top 100 restaurants in the top 50 U.S. cities. One of the nicest things about this app is that it is very easy to use and it also mostly avoids chain restaurants…this way you will always be able to try something new.
This app is great especially when you are on vacation or in a place you are not familiar with. It will tell you the best places to go where you are. With this app, you won't have to worry about picking a bad restaurant while on vacation. You can also find the top restaurants many different ways for easy navigation through the app.
This app does cost 99 cents. Now I know that is not a lot of money, but a free app sure beats this. Also, this app only works if you are near or in a big city… otherwise this app is useless. Also, this app only gives you the top 50 cities so if you are not in the biggest places, you will have no luck either.
This app is also available for all types of smartphones which is a plus.
For more information on the app, check it out here. http://www.wherethelocalseat.com/Mobile.aspx

Milenasong – The Norwegian singer/songwriter is set to release Seven Sisters in a few weeks, an album she worked on with folk pioneer Jeff Tarlton. Together the two transformed her eclectic tracks into one cohesive unit that balances traditional song writing and psychedelic experiments with equal ease.
Daedelus – We never get tired of the L.A.-based whizz kid we know as Alfred Weisberg-Roberts, who is famous for including old '30s and '40s cinema samples in his songs, traversing many genres within a few bars of music, and introducing the Monome, a custom-built sample trigger device, into his live show.
Cougar – What began as something casual–a bunch of guys tinkering around with music in a freezing Wisconsin basement– turned into a full-length release named Law, an album full of hook-laden melodies that sweep over guitar chords. This is unabashedly epic instrumental music.
Murderbot – Known to his Kansas City friends as Chrissy, this guy has made a name as one of the U.S.'s leading ragga jungle producers, has a hunger for dancefloor smashing tunes, and once wrote a poem about the amen break that was published in XLR8R. Quite the start for a mild-mannered grad student.
Plus Device – An ultra-secretive project on Hefty, the members of this group prefer to let their music do the talking, and marry electro-funk with Detroit, Chicago, and acid house, with subtle nuances of instrumental hip-hop woven into the mix.

WHITTIER, Calif. – A new mother had a something extra special to celebrate this Memorial Day weekend.
Yvette Camberos Hernandez of Bell Gardens gave birth to a healthy 13-pound, 10-ounce girl at Whittier Hospital Medical Center.
The newborn, named Kaelyn Hernandez, was delivered Friday through a C-section, earning a page in the hospital's record books.
Wrapped in a yellow blanket, with a big white bow covering her hair, little Kaelyn rested comfortably in her mother's arms as news crews snapped pictures and recorded video of the sleepy infant.
The newborn was nearly twice the size of the average baby, even though she was born a week early.
Yvette was expected to take her daughter home Sunday and introduce the baby to her two older siblings.

The Lamborghini Gallardo is a sports car that most auto enthusiasts can only dream about, and with its cost at over $200,000, it's literally a "dream car". But you can get one step closer to reality with this realistic and artistic drawing of the Gallardo sports car. Maybe you can sell your masterpiece sketch for $200K and finally get behind the wheels of this 2-doored beast. Follow along with Merrill K to replicate this Lamborghini model on paper. Pause the video when needed.
Step 1: Draw the three trapezoids that you see. Take extra time to observe their placement. Due to the rules of perspective the large trapezoid at the top is rounded at its top.
Step 2: Look closely, all that was added was a half circle with other shapes inside. Notice that the half circle is slightly smaller than the large trapezoid shape from Step 1.
Step 3: Now here is the hard one! First, notice the shape is closed on the right side. Second, notice that a rectangular shape was added directly below the smaller trapezoids from Step 1. Take time to notice the placement of the shapes within the rectangle. Finally, notice the horseshoe shape in between and below the shapes added from Steps 1 and 2.
Step 4: Add the front tires and the fancy thing on the door. If you made it through Step 3, Step 4 will be a breeze.
Step 5: Complete the back end of the car from observation. Take some extra time to notice the details of the rims and wheels.

Have you ever wondering how you can work and homeschool? Many families make it work. Meet Tammy. She works full-time away from home and homeschools her daughter.
Who are you homeschooling?
I've homeschooled my daughter Tess since kindergarten. She just turned 15 and is a freshman.
What work do you do?
I am married and have 3 children; identical twin boys who are 26 and went to private schools. My daughter is 15 and has not attended traditional school. We live in a small town. My husband and I own a liquor store (that's a story in itself) I am vice president of the library board, my husband is president of the chamber of commerce. As with small town life, we volunteer in various areas and keep busy!
How many hours do you work each week?
When we started homeschooling, we lived in city of about 400,000, I worked one day a week. During the early elementary years, we were part of an online homeschool. We scheduled our week so that we completed our school week in four days. This was pretty easy to do, I was home all day, our schedule of courses for the week printed out. We marked them off our printout as completed. Tess could see progress being made and learned how to budget time.
At about fourth grade, we moved to a much smaller community (about 1080). We also transitioned out of the online school program and became independents. I worked on call which caused us to learn flexibility. I didn't always have much notice as to my schedule. When I was at work, Tess could come with me and work on her own or she could work at her dad's office. Any questions or additional instruction came in the evening.
Our lives became really interesting when we bought our own business 3.5 years ago, Tess was in middle school. Our mornings are spent on instruction; her afternoons are spent on schoolwork and chores. During our instruction time, I write down in my book what I've assigned, what we've done together. Tess is responsible for writing down in her notebook what she did and the time she spent on each subject. (this eliminates the "I forgot") We go over the previous day's work each morning. If she has questions while I am at work, she texts, or waits until I get home to complete the work.
I work about 47 hours per week, away from home. While I am working, Tess finishes her schoolwork and chores. She volunteers at our library for several hours one afternoon each week. She helps with the Books and Babies program in our community as well.
What does a typical homeschooling week look like in your homeschool?
We start our school day by looking over work for the previous day, discuss any problems or questions from those assignments. Next, we go through the assignments for that day. While I am home, we make sure to discuss/cover everything that is expected to be completed that day. If we need to be away, there are always things that can be read in the car and worked on while waiting for the car, dr apt, etc. We usually don't do any schoolwork on the weekend.
How do you combine homeschooling and working into something that works for your family?
This summer we made the decision to school year round. We discovered that we could complete 4 years of high school in 3 if we took out the 3 month breaks. I made a chart divided into semesters with the state requirements (master list) for graduation off to the side. Each semester has a list of courses to be taught (in pencil) along with the dates to start/complete (also in pencil!) We take two weeks break between semesters and will take a day or two off during the semester as needed.
I have a high school notebook that is divided into subjects. Each week, we log the lessons and time spent on each course. The final grade for that course is written on the sheet at the end of the semester. The course is marked off of the master list on the chart once it's completed.
What tips would you give to someone considering combining homeschooling and working?
For the working homeschool family, organization and cooperation are essential. If Tess doesn't do the expected work for the day, she knows she will have extra the next day. After a few times, of "I forgot" she learned it doesn't pay to procrastinate. She can, and does at times, extend her work into the evening. I don't mind as long as it's done before she goes to bed. Her dad is our biggest supporter, he understands the time commitment and helps out when he can. He has volunteered to teach a "night course" in a few semesters!


text: Ok so they made 4 saying it would be easier for people. But I think there is too much info. It seems like (sorry to say it) But another way for people to get our money. All it is, is +2 to this and +2 to that. Where as the old one is + this - that seems like that is how it should be. Or maybe I am just used to 3.5. And NO MORE DRUIDS!!

Water shortage: Latur residents bath on steps of civic corp
Acute water shortage gripping Latur in Marathwada today led a group of residents of this town to stage a novel protest: bathing on the steps of the municipal corporation headquarters in the city
Mumbai: Acute water shortage gripping Latur in Marathwada today led a group of residents of this town to stage a novel protest: bathing on the steps of the municipal corporation headquarters in the city.
The protest was spontaneous and no political party or social organisation was associated with it, claimed one of the social activists from Latur participating in it.
"Several people of Latur, fed up with getting municipal water supply once or twice a month, staged this protest to draw the authorities' attention to the acute water shortage," the activist said.
The protest comes even as divisional commissioner Umakant Dangat announced a Rs 48 crore plan to lay a new pipeline to bring water from Ujani dam in Solapur to Latur via Osmanabad.
According to the proposal, the new pipeline would be laid between Hatli and Shiradhon in Osmanabad district. At Shiradhon, it would be linked with the pipeline that already fetches water to Latur from Manjra dam.
A proposal in this regard would be sent to the state government soon, Dangat said.
Earlier, the Latur administration was planning to bring water through railway wagons. Latur civic body had already submitted a proposal in this regard to the divisional commissioner. The administration considered bringing water from Ujani, about 35-40 km from Shiradhon.
Manjra dam, situated on the border of Beed and Osmanabad district, had been a major source of water to Latur. But the dam's level stood at just 1.7 million cubic metres (mmcub) of its total 227 mmcub capacity last month.
The dam did not record any considerable increase in its level, prompting the administration to look for an alternative arrangement.
Maharashtra's Marathwada region is grappling with the worst drought in recent years. Latur, part of Marathwada, has reported more than 60 farmer killings due to failure of crops this year.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – National Pro Fastpitch is expanding its international footprint for the second time in eight months with the addition of the Aussie Spirit, marked to begin competition with the 2018 season.
NPF Commissioner Cheri Kempf made the announcement on Dec. 28 in a cooperative effort with Softball Australia and its CEO, Chet Gray.
"This is a move that once again increases the reach of the professional softball footprint, not just domestically, but globally," commented Kempf. "The trickle down effect of this type of international commitment means continuous increased participation at the youth levels of our sport throughout the world and that is something to celebrate. The NPF is extremely proud to welcome the Aussie Spirit to the league in 2018."
The Aussie Spirit is operated by Softball Australia, the nation's governing body for the sport of softball. For several years, Australian players have participated in the NPF with eight players last season rostered to the Chicago Bandits, including standout pitcher, Kaia Parnaby.
"We are thrilled to be part of National Pro Fastpitch competition in 2018," stated Gray. "It's a game -changer for Australian women's softball. It is our plan that the high quality 50-game schedule, combined with the intense daily training environment, will give the Australian team a boost ahead of the 2018 WBSC World Championship which is also a potential qualifying event for Tokyo 2020."
The Aussie Spirit will be based in the midwest and will compete at locations throughout the region. Those locations will include Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri with the goal to place Spirit home games in locations that coincide with some of the regions larger youth tournaments.
NPF operations of the Aussie Spirit will be overseen by Midwest Sports Productions (MSP). MSP owner Jeremy McDowell will manage day to day operations, including schedule locations and special events that will include Spirit team members.
"This will be such a great opportunity for fastpitch softball fans in the Midwest to connect with the world's best players, something we know will leave them falling in love more with this great game," said McDowell. "We are working on a schedule that will include many community events that will connect players and fans throughout the season. MSP is very excited and honored to be a part of this incredible partnership beginning in 2018."

"Must know DOS."
That's a "help wanted" job description Wake County Superior Court Clerk Lorrin Freeman might post for staff in her office, if she could hire – an infrequent occurrence these past few years.
Remember DOS? That's the computer operating system many of us first worked on during the 1980s.
It's also the operating system – or a system just like it designed and built in-house by the Administrative Office of the Courts in the early 80s – that's still in use at the Wake County Courthouse.
"These systems are very archaic," said Freeman, who's been the clerk of court since 2006. "They're difficult to interpret quite frankly, especially if you've grown up using Windows. And it's easy to miss things when you don't know how they work."
But Freeman and her team will have to take that outdated technology with them in a few months when they move into the new county-funded, state-of-the-art-courthouse a few blocks away.
"The new courthouse is very much next-generation equipped for technology in the courtrooms," she said. "But we don't have the backside infrastructure."
A decades-old computer system is just one of the several ways budget slashing over the past four years has sent the Wake County courts careening back in time.
Workload numbers say the courts there need 220 people to process the more than 200,000 cases filed there during the 2011-2012 fiscal year. Right now they have only 157 employees.
That includes judges, the lack of which – especially in the district courts – is pushing hearing and trial dates further back on the calendar.
And programs designed with long-term efficiencies in mind, like drug court, are about to go under.
"We're in trouble," said Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens. "We're hurt bad."
Still a paper system
Cases get started in the court system with a filing in court. And that filing, in most cases, originates on a computer.
To most of us working in a digital world, that's where it should stay. An attorney drafts a complaint or other court document on his computer, saves it there and then files it with the court electronically. That's how it's done in the federal courts.
But in Wake County and courts elsewhere across the state, paper is still the coin of the realm. Rather than pushing the send button, the attorney prints the document out and takes it to the courthouse for filing – where the paper piles up.
"We spend a tremendous amount of time chasing paper — if you think about the thousands of cases filed within the system, and all the different sheets of paper that go with that," Freeman said.
Keeping up with all that paper takes bodies the courts just don't have.
Freeman was hopeful a few years ago, when Wake County rolled out an electronic filing pilot program for civil cases – one of three counties to do so.
"That's a project that has great potential for efficiency and effectiveness," Freeman said. "We very much believed at the time that in 18 months we'd be fully operational with that, accepting all filings and maintaining case records electronically. But the money was simply not there."
The Wake County criminal division is still using the mainframe database put in the field in 1986, and its civil court indexing system is the exact same system used in 1990.
"We're operating with computer systems that are 20, 25 years old," Freeman said. "And the amount of time we spend looking for things – if we had electronic storage of cases it would significantly revolutionize things."
Back in time
For Judge Stephens, going back 25 years might not be such a bad thing, at least in one respect: He had more help then.
"In 1984 when I came here, we had 4 resident judges and 2 special judges, for a total of 6 judges," Stephens said. "And we had 2 staff members in our office who greeted the public, answered the telephone and helped the judges. Now we have 12 judges and one staff member. I would like to at least go back to what I had in 1984."
Today, that one staff person works in the reception area as the face of the court to the public, doing everything for 12 judges, even though the caseload has doubled, Stephens added.
"She greets the public, answers the phone, does correspondence, pulls files," he said. And when she's out of the office, the judges are doing it themselves.
"I don't mind that," Stephens said, "but the public is not well-served in that situation."
Though everyone in the system is doing more, cuts in some areas have created inefficiencies in others.
Elimination of funding for programs like drug courts – proven to reduce recidivism over the long haul – doesn't mean those cases go away; they just get redistributed in the system.
"One of the frustrating things about cutting programs like drug court," said Chief District Court Judge Robert Rader, "is that it took a lot of work to build it and get it to the point where it's functional. And now here we are, facing possible elimination."
Getting it back up and running will require all-the-more resources. The same is true for the demise of the electronic filing pilot program and other technology cuts. Working on old, slow systems and chasing paper just eats up time and manpower – both at a premium in the courts.
And though everyone is doing more, most employees are making less, in real dollars, Freeman said.
"I have people who have worked in the court system for four plus years now who are still making below 30 thousand dollars a year, and in this county parking is not provided," she added. "Many of my folks have to leave here and work second jobs, weekend jobs – which makes it more challenging to keep a workforce and keep them focused on the work here when they've got so many other responsibilities."
Racing the clock
If you're a parent in the midst of a divorce being told that your request for a custody order can't be heard until May, or one of the some 700 DWI defendants with a case ready for trial but no date in sight, you're likely not happy to learn that staffless judges are answering phones in the reception area.
But reduced staff is not the main reason for such delays. The district courts need more judges, said Chief Judge Rader. "I could put three or four to work tomorrow, and keep everyone of them busy five days a week."
District court judges resolve everything from traffic cases to child support orders to DWI offenses, and for them, Rader said, it's a constant battle. "On one hand, they're trying to be efficient and move the cases through because they want to get them disposed of in a timely manner, but at the same time they want to give people a fair hearing, with the quality of justice that we would all want."
Domestic court has been the biggest challenge, according to Rader. Families are often in crisis situations when they come to court for custody or child support orders, and need quick help. Instead, they're waiting three to four months to get before the judge.
The time to resolve domestic violence, parental neglect and DWI cases is also stretching out because of the sheer number of cases filed.
"Case numbers have dipped the last two years, but that hasn't happened with the domestic violence and abuse-neglect cases," Rader said. "Those cases are very time consuming. And we lead the state in DWIs. "
Wake County has a courtroom dedicated solely to each of those types of cases, but that's still not eased the load on the judges.
Efforts to limit actual time before a judge have helped, Rader said. For example, by his review of Nov. 2012 numbers, the judges were resolving traffic cases within two minutes, on average.
"The problem is that you have 100 cases on a docket," he said. "We dispose of some cases, some get continued, but then you have the cases to be tried, and you've run out of time. You'll get one or two cases tried per session. Now if you had two District Attorneys in each courtroom, or another judge, that would help resolve that problem. But you can't afford it, and the General Assembly controls that number."
Efforts to limit time before the judge are impractical and unfair, though, when an issue like termination of parental rights is at stake, Rader added.
"We've taken so many steps to be more efficient and dispose of cases in a more timely manner, but you get to a point where you can only do so much, and I think we might be getting close to that," Rader said. "I don't need bells and whistles; I just need more court time so people can get their cases heard."

Stanisław Herman Lem (staˈɲiswaf ˈlɛm; 12 or 13 September 1921 – 27 March 2006) was a Polish writer of science fiction, philosophy, and satire, and a trained physician. Lem's books have been translated into 41 languages and have sold over 45 million copies. From the 1950s to 2000s, he published many books, both science fiction and philosophical/futurological. He is best known as the author of the 1961 novel Solaris, which has been made into a feature film three times. In 1976, Theodore Sturgeon wrote that Lem was the most widely read science fiction writer in the world.
Lem's works explore philosophical themes through speculation on technology, the nature of intelligence, the impossibility of communication with and understanding of alien intelligence, despair about human limitations, and humanity's place in the universe. They are sometimes presented as fiction, but others are in the form of essays or philosophical books.
Translating his works is difficult due to passages with elaborate word formation, idiomatic wordplay, alien or robotic poetry, and puns.

PRE-CONGRESS COURSES: To take place on Tuesday, June 4, we offer distinct day long courses that allow delegates to start the congress with an overview in their area of interest.
WORKSHOPS: Designed for smaller groups of attendees ranging from 100-200 people. Speakers will give an overview of the assigned topic then work together presenting case studies or research that can highlight the topic in ways that are educational, unique and easy to digest. These sessions are designed to allow for more discourse and longer question and answer periods for the participants.
ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS: These specially designed sessions allow for delegates to sit down with an expert on a wide range of fields in a very small, intimate group, to get to the nitty-gritty with questions about the topics. Experts will give a shot oral overview of the predetermined topic and will then take take questions from the participants.
Seats are filled on a first-come, first served basis. Each Roundtable session can take up to 11 participants. We strongly encourage those who are interested to arrive early.
SPECIAL LECTURES: As the title says, these special sessions are designed to highlight one topic each day, including the WPC James Parkinson Lecture, the Living with Parkinson's sessions, and our special guest talk one day by an internationally recognized leader in the Parkinson's space.
DAILY WRAP-UP: A dynamic and robust panel of experts who will highlight key learnings each day. This is a great way to catch some key topics you missed while attending other sessions and to hear what these leaders are taking away from the sessions they participated in.

Meryl Streep
Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep (born June 22, 1949) is an American actress who has worked in theatre, television, and film. She is widely regarded as one of the most talented and respected movie actors of the modern era.
Streep made her professional stage debut in 1971's The Playboy of Seville, and her screen debut came in the made-for-television movie The Deadliest Season in 1977. In that same year, she made her film debut with Julia. Both critical and commercial success came soon with roles in The Deer Hunter (1978) and Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), the former giving Streep her first Oscar nomination and the latter her first win. She later won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Sophie's Choice (1982).
Streep has received 16 Academy Award nominations, winning two, and 25 Golden Globe nominations, winning seven, more nominations than any other actor in the history of either award. Her work has also earned her two Emmy Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Cannes Film Festival award, four New York Film Critics Circle Awards, five Grammy Award nominations, a BAFTA award, an Australian Film Institute Award, and a Tony Award nomination.

Moscow, Russia
Team Dinosaur nearly has a nervous breakdown entering the former heart of the USSR. The major roads contain a dozen lanes, six in each direction: wide enough for the Soviets to drive tanks into Red Square. This makes for marvelous auto theatrics and atrocious driving conditions.
Luckily, Mims's rudimentary knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet allows him to read the street signs and pilot us to our friend Alex's apartment building, situated 10 minutes by foot from Lenin's tomb. But you can only view his embalmed body on the weekend. We are here on a Monday morning, so Lenin is off-limits.
Instead, we eat breakfast at Alex's local corner store. It's a closet, claustrophobic with Russian lagers, hot dogs wrapped in pastry, and smoked pig products.
"What do you like?" I pantomime with the cashier, a woman wearing a white paper hat.
She grabs a slab of fatty pork about the size of a dictionary out of the display case. She plops it into a plastic bag unsliced. We return to Alex's house to face a problem: "I don't have any knives," he says.
Using Mims's utility tool, we slice part of the meat and fry it.
"It's like homemade Bac-Os," Andrew says.
Turns out Moscow is an ethnically diverse, cosmopolitan city, and it's damn expensive. Sushi, Kobe beef, and even Sbarro ersatz Italian eateries abound—at prices reserved for three-star New York restaurants. Most on-the-go eaters stick to the hot-dog-in-pastry option that you can find in the subway stations. I sample one but find it chalky and bland.
I stop a tie-wearing businessman. In preschool-level Russian, I ask him where I can get a cheap lunch.
He motions toward a tiny, easily overlooked restaurant. Its window features a cartoon chef flipping a pancake. Inside, men in suits drink dark beer and eat stuffed, made-on-the-spot blini.
Dozens of varieties are available, but I can't read the menu. Instead, I point at a picture of a blin overflowing with, uh, beef.
"Da?" the brown-eyed cashier asks, also pointing at the picture.
She pours batter on a circular griddle. It starts browning, she flips it, and adds cheese and what I hope is beef. It comes, like nearly everything here, with hot borscht.
The blin is gooey, satisfying beef bliss. I polish my plate in minutes. Thank you, Mr. Businessman.

Anglers today are used to having lots of line choices, when just a generation ago monofilament dominated the market.
As you plan your next trip to Quebec, consider what you need your lines to do:
Mono—great options for nearly every type of fishing. Great knot strength; 25-28 stretch provides margin of error when hooked up to big fish.
Superlines—Great choice when casting distance is important (shore anglers, river fisherman) and when fishing extreme depths for species like lake trout (lack of stretch + positive hooksets
Fluorocarbon—Near invisibility makes it solid choice for pressured fish. The line also sinks, making some presentations more natural.
No matter what line choice you go with, it is essential that you select the right knot for THAT line.
Common knots like the Improved Clinch work with mono, but a terrible knot when used with braid.
There are knots that work well with all three lines. The easiest to tie and one of the strongest is the Palomar Knot.
If you don't know how to tie the Palomar, click here for step-by-step instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj7kyqzLmuw.
Remember to wet all knots with a bit of saliva before cinching tight to reduce friction that robs strength.

The App Store is a competitive environment. Against more than 140,000 apps, all screaming for attention, how do you make sure your app gets its time in the spotlight? How do you get people to talk about your app—and, ideally, how do you get them to buy it and show it to their friends? We've got some great tips on how to make your mobile app stand out from the crowd that may initially seem obvious, but can often be neglected…
Be Unique
One of the easiest ways to stand out in the App Store is to create an app that is unique. Despite this, thousands and thousands of apps are uninspired, shovelled out by developers who are looking for a quick buck.
You need to ensure that you're:
- The first developer in your category of product, or
- Reinventing the existing category with something unique.
If you're just improving something that's already available, your battle to market will be an uphill struggle.
At present the App Store creates very few new categories. So unless you're sitting on a revolutionary new idea, focus your attention on a unique spin of an existing category. So many things can be re-imagined with little effort. Look at your competitors and see what cool features for this category are missing? How can you deliver a unique experience in this category?
A unique feature will make your app stand a head taller in the crowd and raise eyebrows. And that's exactly the effect you want if you intend to sell apps in the App Store.
- Think, plan and build with the intention of creating something unique.
- Ask yourself if you are merely improving on someone else's idea. If it already exists in the app store, the battle to market it will be much harder.
- If you're competing in a saturated market, do the exact opposite of the leader.
Produce a Video for Promotion Purposes
Having a carefully thought out strategy for your video will produce the best results. We also recommend using a professional video production company so they can design a storyboard, create and direct the video. A promotional video will be able to target the right people with your new app idea. Find out more.
Amplify Using Twitter
Getting people to talk about your app is imperative for success. The more people talk, the more exposure your app will get, which will hopefully translate into sales. If your app is unique, you're halfway there—people will talk about it just because of its uniqueness. But how do you encourage people to start up conversations about your product?
Engage the Audience
Make the conversation about your app easy and engaging. Make it so that people want to tweet about it. Tweetability—if no one has yet, I'm trade marking that word—refers to how well a product or message would move on Twitter. The Twitter network, with its millions of users, has a particular personality and disposition. Find out about Twitter marketing.
- Play to your strengths. Write good copy. And have a solid, useful and attractive landing page.
- What is the USPs for the consumer – Are there any amusing and beneficial reasons why people would use your app?
- Have a memorable tagline. Sum up your app's purpose in one line.
Launching the App
When you launch, make it big. Send out the triumphant newsletter, and hit all social media. Have you or your team write up blog posts, and pull every lever and handle in your network. Hype is all about critical mass: the first wave you set in motion will give you instant feedback on how to adjust your hype machine. Click here to see how to create an app.
Maintaining hype is all about introducing new venues in which to exhibit your app. Get a steady stream of review websites to cover your app. Give away promo keys on Twitter, and serve new content on your website. Obviously, if you can get into the "What's hot" or "New and noteworthy" sections of the App Store, you've made it far.
In the end, hype is part luck and part skill. The best way to balance the two is to keep asking yourself whether you can do anything else to add value, mystery, polish or spin to your product. Rely on your own judgement: what would excite you about this app if it were made by another developer?
- Give out promo codes on Twitter and in the blogosphere.
- Run contests related to your app. Give away prizes that make sense for your category.
- Boost popularity by timing the launch of your app to coincide with a live event or trending topic.
- Release your app with a big bang. Hold an online or live event. Attract visitors in creative ways, by building a game or puzzle or just throwing a contest or giveaway!
If you have a unique product and apply some of the ideas above, you too can secure free exposure for your beloved app. It's a rather democratic and honest process because you are required to re-invent apps by adding unique features. Marketing then becomes all about making it easier and more interesting for people to talk about and share your creation.
The realisation is however, that there is no surefire way to create a successful app. But keeping in mind some of the things mentioned in this post—both at the conception and the execution stage—will put you in a position to build awareness of your application much more easily. We hope this has been helpful!

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes, in partnership with the Merck Company Foundation, today announced the results of its year-long study Veterans in the Workplace: Understanding the Challenges and Creating Long-Term Opportunities for Veteran Employees.
The study, conducted between 2015 and 2016, surveyed 400 human resource professionals nationwide as well as 1,000 veterans who have transitioned out of the military in the last five years on their perceptions during the recruiting and onboarding processes.
Key findings of the study show:
- Businesses have made tremendous progress over the last five years as they recruit veterans into their workforce. Veterans are now ranked as a top three recruiting target for companies, underscoring the commitment to and investment in veterans by American businesses.
- A civilian – military gap still exists, and greater effort is required as veterans are brought on board to civilian companies in order to set them up for success.
- Female veterans appear to face greater challenges related to finding their first post-transition job and being satisfied with their economic well-being.
"America's businesses have stepped up to the plate when it comes to hiring veterans—a fact evidenced by the ever-shrinking veteran unemployment rate," said Eric Eversole, president, Hiring Our Heroes, and vice president, U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "However, we need to double-down on our effort to provide veteran-related training and assistance during the onboarding process."
"At Merck, we have a long-term commitment to hiring veterans," said Kevin Thornberry, director, Business Consulting, and leader of the Veterans Leadership Network. "We are committed to helping veterans adjust as they transition into the corporate world and we recognize the unique skills military members bring to Merck each day and are very proud of their contributions."
The study reinforces many of the themes that Hiring Our Heroes has stressed over the last five years to key audiences and highlights how American businesses and veterans can educate themselves on what long-term economic success looks like in this effort.
About Hiring Our Heroes
Launched in 2011, Hiring Our Heroes is a nationwide initiative to help veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses find meaningful employment. Working with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's vast network of state and local chambers and other strategic partners from the public, private and nonprofit sectors, Hiring Our Heroes has helped hundreds of thousands of veterans and military spouses find meaningful employment through more than 1,000 job fairs in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and on military installations overseas; a suite of free online career-based resources; and the Hiring 500,000 Heroes campaign.

A buy to let property in London is going to be "very difficult to make viable" in the near future unless purchasers borrow at a high 60 per cent loan-to-value, a mortgage chief is warning.
Martin Stewart, managing director of mortgage broker London Money, says buy to let everywhere is going to become particularly difficult in the next few years as mortgage interest tax relief is pared back as a result of George Osborne's fiscal reforms.
Until this change "tax relief on mortgage interest payments was one of the more attractive aspects of buy to let, particularly to those looking at property investments as an alternative to pensions" Stewart writes in a blog.
However, he says the reform may indirectly improve the robustness of the capital's private rental sector.
"The upshot of this is that the rental sector will eventually become a market of well capitalised, sensible and prudent landlords helping to keep a much needed private rental market ticking over" he writes.
But he warns that without very substantial deposits, buy to let may become significantly less attractive to many putting their money into London.
"It's likely that the 'new normal' will see individuals approaching their accountants long before they start peering into estate agents' windows ... buy to let may have lost some of its lustre. What we can do is discuss possible alternatives to buying an investment property or ways to finance what they hope to buy" he writes.
"Remember, too, that when Osborne talks about austerity what he really means is that the train has run out of gravy; so don't expect a helping hand from him along the way."

2 Kings 25:23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men. (See RSV)
2 Kings 25:25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah. (See RSV)

Jeremiah 36:14 and all the heads send unto Baruch, Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, 'The roll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people take in thy hand, and come.' And Baruch son of Neriah taketh the roll in his hand and cometh in unto them, (See RSV)
Jeremiah 40:8 and they come in unto Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan sons of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maachathite, they and their men. (See RSV)
Jeremiah 40:14 and they say unto him, 'Dost thou really know that Baalis king of the sons of Ammon hath sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to smite thy soul?' And Gedaliah son of Ahikam hath not given to them credence. (See RSV)
Jeremiah 40:15 And Johanan son of Kareah hath spoken unto Gedaliah in secret, in Mizpah, saying, 'Let me go, I pray thee, and I smite Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one doth know; why doth he smite thy soul? and scattered have been all Judah who are gathered unto thee, and perished hath the remnant of Judah.' (See RSV)

Jeremiah 41:10 And Ishmael taketh captive all the remnant of the people who 'are' in Mizpah, the daughters of the king, and all the people who are left in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, hath committed 'to' Gedaliah son of Ahikam, and Ishmael son of Nethaniah taketh them captive, and goeth to pass over unto the sons of Ammon. (See RSV)

Jeremiah 41:16 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces who 'are' with him, take all the remnant of the people whom he hath brought back from Ishmael son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah -- after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam -- mighty ones, men of war, and women, and infants, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon, (See RSV)
Jeremiah 41:18 from the presence of the Chaldeans, for they have been afraid of them, for Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land. (See RSV)

The whole deconstruct/reconstruct ideology has been a pretty popular one as of late. With the likes of Mathieu Hagelaars & Helen Kirkum initially rolling out their super creative reconstructed creations, and later with more prominent designers like Virgil Abloh also delivering their iterations, it's been interesting to see how everyone's interpreted and executed the concept.
Just in time for Halloween, designer Daniel Čorić decided to create his own take on the deconstruct/reconstruct idea with a series of three "Frankenstein" mash-ups. Each feature a unique collection of materials and sneaker parts, with tongues be placed at both the heel and outside the vamp, à la Alexander Wang's latest collaborative efforts.
Really love the way Daniel executed these three creations, would love to see what the next would be…
You can see all three of Daniel's explorations, below.

f MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY OF MALARIA IN CAMEROON. XX. EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON VARIOUS FACTORS OF IN VITRO DRUG SENSITIVITY ASSAYS USING FRESH ISOLATES OF PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM
The influence of several factors on parasite growth and 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) for chloroquine was assessed. Most isolates stored at 4°C up to 72 hours grew when they were subsequently cultivated. However, parasite viability sharply decreased from 24 hours, and the mean chloroquine IC50 decreased significantly (P < 0.05). There was no evidence for selection of pre-culture populations due to storage alone. The time point when 3H-hypoxanthine was added (0 versus 18 hours) had no effect on the IC50 during the 42-hour incubation, but was associated with a lower IC50 when 3H-hypoxanthine was added after the initial 42-hour incubation during the 72-hour incubation. An increase in 3H-hypoxanthine incorporation and chloroquine IC50 was observed as the hematocrit was increased from 1.0% to 2.5%. For the same isolates, chloroquine IC50 values were generally similar when the initial parasitemia was between 0.1% and 0.5% but increased at higher (>0.75%) parasitemias. Based on these results, we recommend immediate cultivation after blood collection, a 42-hour incubation period with the addition of 3H-hypoxanthine at the beginning of incubation, a 1.5% hematocrit, and an initial parasitemia 0.1-0.5%. Further studies on serum substitutes, gas mixture, and comparison of isotopic and non-isotopic assays are needed to establish a standardized in vitro assay protocol.

Embrun-Alpe d'Huez, 210km
What will happen?
It?s a day of reckoning in the Alps today. The top three riders in the general classification are split by just eight seconds.
After yesterday?s cautious non-showdown between the overall contenders, CSC-Saxo Bank are going to have to do something very special to put time into Cadel Evans if Frank Schleck is to have any chance of staying in the yellow jersey to Paris.
It?s a big ask. Evans is far superior against the clock than any of his rivals and Schleck needs to build up a comfort zone today, otherwise the Australian will claw back every second in the final 53km time trial. Schleck lost one minute 47 seconds to Evans in the 29.5km stage four TT, he could feasibly lose nearly double that on Saturday.
CSC will collectively have to attack Evans on the final ascent on Alpe d?Huez. They know that Evans? weakness is his complete lack of team support in the mountains and his reluctance to launch an attack himself. However, it?s hard to see how they are going to put any meaningful time into Evans ? he has the ability to unshakably attach himself to a rival?s back wheel. It?s not going to stop CSC trying, and that?s going to lead to an explosive finale.
It?s worth noting that Schleck has previous Alpe d?Huez form ? he won there in the 2006 Tour, beating Damiano Cunego.
It could easily shape up to be one of the most exciting Tour stages for years.
What are the climbs like?
Today?s stage features some of the Tour?s most feared climbs: the Cols du Lauteret, Galibier and Telegraphe, and the final climb of Alpe d?Huez have made and broken many a rider?s Tour aspirations. Race organisers have made Alpe d?Huez the sting in the stage?s tail: a mountain top finish guaranteed to shake up the race.
Will Schleck stay in yellow?
Almost definitely. Frank Schleck?s only priority today is to gain time on Evans. If he isn?t in the race lead by the end of today by a wide margin, he?s lost the Tour.
Who's wearing the jerseys?
Yellow Frank Schleck (CSC)
Green Oscar Freire (Rabobank)
Polka-dot Bernhard Kohl (Gerolsteiner)
White Andy Schleck (CSC)
CW's tip for the win
It?s another tough one to pick. The overall contenders will be more concerned with watching each other than chasing down breaks, so a breakaway group has a high chance of success just as they did in yesterday?s stage 15. However, we?re going to say that CSC will drive the pace hard on Alpe d?Huez and vacuum up everything in their path. With Evans attempting to hold Schleck's hand all the way up, we?ll go for Carlos Sastre as our pick for the win. Just.

Diabetes Resources Coordination Center (DRCC)
In Cumberland Country, New Jersey, a man is screened for type 2 diabetes at the Diabetes Alert Day event hosted by the DRCC
Diabetes affects 596,000 adults and children in New Jersey and many do not know they have it. Type 2 diabetes is a growing epidemic with 86 million Americans estimated to be pre-diabetic, determining one's risk of diabetes is more important than ever.
The Diabetes Resources Coordination Center (DRCC), funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the New Jersey Department of Health works to promote Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) and Diabetes Prevention Programs (DPPs), and increase access to, referrals for, and use of both types of diabetes resources. The DRCC accomplishes these objectives by implementing health communications, provider engagement, and community awareness activities that link healthcare organizations, patients, and diabetes programs.
After completing a successful first year in Cumberland County, New Jersey, the DRCC received a second year of funding and will be expanding its coverage to include Salem and Gloucester counties in Southern New Jersey.
Increasing access to and utilization of diabetes programs is greatly needed in these three Southern New Jersey Counties. Among New Jersey's 21 counties, Cumberland is ranked 21st, Gloucester is ranked 16th, and Salem is ranked 18th for overall health. In addition, the CDC's most recent data identify Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem among New Jersey's counties with the highest incidence of diagnosed diabetes among adults.
Key Activities
DSME helps people with diabetes by teaching them effective self-management and coping skills, while DPPs assist individuals to prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes. Research shows that increased diabetes education has led to improved diabetes knowledge, self-care behavior, quality of life, and clinical outcomes, such as lower A1C and self-reported weight.
Successful diabetes care requires a comprehensive, systematic approach to supporting patients' behavior change efforts, including:
- healthy lifestyle changes (physical activity, healthy eating, tobacco cessation, weight management, and effective coping)
- disease self-management (taking and managing medication and, when clinically appropriate, self-monitoring of glucose and blood pressure)
- prevention of diabetes complications (self-monitoring of foot health; active participation in screening for eye, foot, and renal complications; and immunizations).
Hosted an American Diabetes Association-sponsored Diabetes Alert Day event in Cumberland County, New Jersey:
- The event included screenings for type 2 diabetes, glaucoma and glucose
- Information on local diabetes self-management workshops and a diabetes prevention program was made available to all attendees
- Workshop providers from CompleteCare Health Network, Inspira Medical Center, Cape Cumberland Atlantic YMCA were present
A webinar series was hosted to provide healthcare providers with an overview of the American Diabetes Association-recognized and American Association of Diabetes Educators-accredited Diabetes Self-Management programs and CDC-recognized Diabetes Prevention Programs currently available in the county.
