You may have heard marketing people wax lyrical about the "buyer persona", but what exactly does this phrase mean and how can developing a buyer persona bolster your business?
What is a buyer persona?
Buying personas are fictional, data-driven profiles of a company's current or target consumers. In essence, these are used to 'get inside the customer's head'. This allows businesses to make informed decisions on a range of marketing options, such as advert placement, blog post content, social media usage and key products to promote.
Your buyer persona should focus on the following three elements:
1.Who is your customer?
It may be that you develop one very specific buying persona or several personas if your business has more than one strand. You may also wish to create a desired buyer persona for prospective customers. Your buying personas should include a name, job title, income level, demographic information and hobbies or interests, all of which must be based on real data you have gathered through website analytics and social media monitoring. You may wish to review and revise these personas as time goes by.
2.What do your customers need?
You can use these personas to anticipate what information your customers are looking for and what needs they might have. Keep track of which website pictures, blog posts and special offers attract the most hits and click-throughs.
3.How do your customers behave online?
Get to grips with your customers' online habits. Which social media sites do they use? Which type of page do they visit before buying a product or service? What do they like to buy online and what do they buy in store?
Why do you need buyer personas?
Once you have developed your buyer personas, you can use them to make a range of marketing decisions. This will help you to:
- Clarify what your customers need and want
- Develop new or improved products and services
- Improve the way you communicate with you customers
- Allow you to target each persona with specific offers
- Attract new customers
Knowing your customer base can help you to interact more effectively with your customers, allowing you to building trust with them and meet their needs more effectively. Ultimately, this should lead to increased traffic and sales.
Hubspot have some great resources for helping businesses work out their typical buyer persona.
Did you find it easy or difficult to define your buyer personas? Share your tips below.

This is great. There's something to be said for the defense of exaggeration or idiom in advertising — for instance, Red Bull doesn't literally give you wings. Of course, nobody's suing Red Bull for false advertising. But when the statement is the totally believable "Twice as fast, half the price," and you support the ad with fraudulent video showing the product in question accomplishing tasks at unrealistic speeds, you might be pushing it. And yet, Apple's defense is that:
"…No reasonable person in Plaintiff's position could have reasonably relied on or misunderstood Apple's statements as claims of fact."
Ha! Well, you can be sure nobody will consider Apple's statements "claims of fact" now!
Yeah, the lawsuit is questionable, but the response is classic.

Youth Aggression and the Disarmament of American Entertainment
In his press conference yesterday announcing gun-control proposals, President Obama listed several executive actions he would take to curb the kind of gun violence that led to the murder of 27 people in Newtown, Conn., last month. He also listed several proposals to Congress.
"If there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if there's even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try," he said.
One such step is a proposal that Congress provide $10 million in funding to the Centers for Disease Control in order to study the causes and prevention of gun violence, including an investigation into "the relationship between video games, media images, and violence."
"We don't benefit from ignorance. We don't benefit from not knowing the science of this epidemic of violence," Obama said.
The National Rifle Association, among others, has sought to position violent media, rather than gun access, as a leading cause behind the Newtown attack.
But the CDC idea may have legs, because of what researchers already know for sure about media violence: Almost nothing. Indeed, the general theory of media violence goes like this: Consistent exposure to violent media increases the risk of aggression. But many studies conflict on the strength of that influence or how that aggression might be otherwise mitigated.
The research does not, however, show causality. Violent media doesn't lead to murder. Nor, however, is it necessarily without effect.
57 Channels (and Nothin' On But Violence)
A 2001 study by researchers at the University of Michigan is one of many that suggest youth viewing of TV violence contributes to aggression (PDF) in adult life, but in ways beyond the simple "child sees violence, child imitates violence." Rather, it's the rationale for violence that matters; violence perpetrated by a hero stimulates aggression more than the dastardly acts of a villain.
"[A] violent act by someone like 'Dirty Harry,' which results in a criminal being eliminated and brings glory to Harry, is of more concern than a bloodier murder by a despicable criminal who is brought to justice," the study concludes. (Dirty Harry is from film, of course, but we'll let that slide.)
Television violence doesn't just come in the form of crime shows and every episode of an HBO drama. One of television's biggest revenue generators is sports, with the Super Bowl being the annual crown jewel. (Go Patriots!) Yet a 1997 study published in The Sport Psychologist suggests that watching sports leads to increased aggression, while playing in sports may also lead to aggression, as athletes get spurred on by a rowdy crowd.
"Expectancies of reward (or punishment) for aggressive acts may be learned by previous reinforcement (or punishment) or by modeling/imitation of significant others such as coach, parents, [or] sports heroes," the study says.
And the most violent place of all? The evening news. Just imagine the past week: The French invasion of Mali. A bombing at a Syrian university that left 82 dead. An American drone campaign in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia that has so far killed over 3,000 people. And the prolific coverage of the tragedy that catalyzed this round of gun-control dialogue in the first place.
Not Intended for All Audiences
The American Civil War, an interstellar civil war, and a charming musical represent the top ticket sellers in worldwide box office history. Gone With the Wind, Star Wars, and The Sound of Music are also in the American Film Institute's list of the Best 100 Films, and collectively made $4,065,669,200 at the box office, adjusted for inflation. None of them are violent, really, although the backdrops certainly are. (How many people died fighting the Union, or on the Death Star?)
Among the 10 highest-grossing films of all time (unadjusted), only Titanic and Toy Story 3 aren't action movies packed with fighting. (The iceberg didn't show much aggression, at least. Toy Story 3, though, features some toy torture.) All but Toy Story 3 are rated PG-13, mostly for action violence. It's scraping as close to gore as possible without really experiencing it, because the blood itself determines what is for "mature audiences only."
We don't necessarily flock to these movies because of the fights, but that's an intrinsic part of the experience. The blood in director Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, for example, might seem strong, but then, that's part of the beloved Tarantino brand; most all of his flicks are rated R and come saturated with violence. Short of that R rating, however, the children come, too. But afterwards, are there discussions of the fights? Is context explained? A child can buy a ticket to a PG-13 movie without her parents, but is that the only kind of action-movie experience that researchers worry about?
In a statement released after the White House published its proposals, the Motion Picture Association of America and other film organizations released a statement (PDF) saying they would "welcome academic examination and consideration on these issues as the president has proposed." Left unsaid is the likely relief at not facing imminent action.
Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Game No Evil
Video-game research differs from television and film research in the sense that video games aren't passive deliverers of entertainment. You don't just watch a character kill someone; you, as the character, kill that someone.
Some studies, like with television, note increased levels of aggression or antisocial behavior in students playing video games. Other studies? Nothing. A Washington Post analysis similarly finds little or no link between sales of video games and homicide. And Cheryl K. Olson, a public health researcher and co-author of Grand Theft Childhood, wrote in a New York Times op-ed that we know "virtually nothing ... about how youths who are already prone to violent behavior, such as those exposed to violence at home and in their neighborhoods, use these games."
Video games now have court protection against censorship, a key victory for the industry. In Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that California did not have the authority to ban the sale of violent video games to minors, under the First Amendment.
Think that the Supreme Court ruling is bogus? Well, while video games might not have the cache of Van Gogh, they're increasingly seen as art. Both the Museum of Modern Art, in New York City, and the American Museum of Art, in Washington, have featured exhibits on video games. If the Smithsonian hosting such an exhibit isn't explicit acknowledgement by the government that video games are art, then what is? (Call this the Miracle on 34th Street approach to law.)
Policy and Policing
Research context is important. After all, sitting in traffic leads to aggression, too, but if that directly led to violence, then the Washington Beltway, the Los Angeles Freeway, and most of Boston would be militarized zones by now. It might not be the content that drives aggression, so much as the emotion of the content: aggression drives aggression. Conversely, there aren't as many studies looking into whether watching happy, positive television similarly produced happy, less-aggressive children.
Hence the desire by the Obama administration to increase CDC funding, even in the face of a Congress that really, really hates spending. And the funding is only half the battle. In 1996, the Republican-controlled Congress passed a law that prohibited federal funding for any research that "advocates or promote[s] gun control." This effectively halted a great deal of gun research. The executive order signed yesterday says that researchers should proceed looking into "causes and prevention of gun violence," but, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists, this sets up two different directives and leaves confusion until Congress responds.
And say Congress does change its mind, and a slew of new research emerges; what does that mean for policy?
Currently, the entertainment industry is generally self-policing, especially in film and video games. The Entertaining Software Ratings Board oversees the video-game industry and assigns maturity ratings to products, in the same way the MPAA does for movies. The Federal Communications Commission rates television. Video-game executives note that stores are good about not selling mature games to under-aged youth. Movie theaters don't let anyone into R-rated movies if they're under 17. (And they mean it—my poor mother had to sit through The Matrix: Reloaded with me.) And for parents worried about movie content, sites like the Internet Movie Database have user-generated parent guides that detail what to expect at the cinema, in addition to the official MPAA descriptors.
The biggest access point for youth is television, and while ratings and parental controls can do a lot, experts say TV requires greater vigilance from parents. As Olson noted in an interview with New Hampshire Public Radio, parental involvement can mitigate the effects of violent media.
As for schools, well ... addressing difficult topics in the classroom can sometimes lead to community objections. Teachers would likely need to be guaranteed latitude before diving into a lesson on Saving Private Ryan. But districts which implement violence-intervention programs (PDF) have met with some levels of success.
And largely unaddressed by the White House is yet another sector of the entertainment industry: The Internet. As more and more media goes online, would the government attempt to restrict the Web?
As Obama says: Even one step.

Discovery Channel creator John Hendricks is selling his Western Colorado ranch, and if you've got $149 million burning a hole in your pocket, the ranch and all its bells and whistles could be yours.
WHAT: West Creek Ranch, a 6,900-acre property in Gateway, near the Utah border, is a 14-bed, 12-bath mansion complete with an observatory, guest house, helipad, air strip and other amenities.
SIZE: 22,000 square feet
LOCATION: Surrounded by thousands of acres of desert land, West Creek Ranch is at the border of Utah and Colorado. West Creek Ranch gives homeowners scenic desert views and unmatched privacy. But these amenities don't come cheap. At $149 million, the ranch is one of the most expensive listings in Colorado.
ABOUT THE HOUSE: Jamie Daugaard of Centre Sky Architecture designed the ranch over a three-year period from 1999-2001. The house has everything you'd expect in a top-of-the-line mansion such as a large kitchen, a theater room, a pool and hot tub and guest ranch, but it's also got some perks unique to the ranch. There are hunting opportunities for animals ranging from bears to mountain lions and an observatory complete with a 20-inch Meade Telescope to view the vast desert sky. It's also got a helipad and air strip to land your helicopter and planes if needed. And 55-minute drive to get from Grand Junction Regional Airport to the property, you just might. Other features include grazing land for cattle as well as fishing ponds and horse pastures.
CONTACT: Anyone interested in purchasing the ranch can contact LiV Sotheby's International Realty listing broker Kerry Endsley at 303.570.0267 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

Being prepared for a major storm is vital for the cities of Port Isabel and South Padre Island, who are the first form of defense against a hurricane.
"We're constantly preparing there are so many steps that cities can take to prepare to make sure in the event of a major storm. Everything from making sure housing is built appropriately to withstand storms to begin with."
Susan Gunthrie, city manager at the island says the main purpose of this public hearing was to address the amount of workforce, following a major natural disaster such as a hurricane. The Texas House of Representatives Committee of Business and Industry were present at the meeting.
"One of the things we do is we do drills constantly and we have plans so that we're practicing those plans so we know that step has to happen, hours and hours before a storm ever hits."
She emphasized that much of the people that work at the island don't reside on it, so being prepared with adequate housing for workers coming to the island after a natural disaster is important. Other things that were discussed were the sand dunes that help weaken the force of the storm and how important it is to maintain them. Seawalls were also mentioned.
"Ideally if we could get the federal money to build those seawalls you would have a barrier that would minimize the damage here and minimize the damage inland but unfortunately that's a massive amount of money."
Beachgoers at the island talked to Fox News about the importance of having workers get to the island after a storm.
"I think it's absolutely necessary, absolutely important, anything we can do to recover from anything horrible like that, just like we should be doing that with hurricane Harvey, just like we should be doing in Puerto Rico especially, the devastation is awful."
Gunthrie and other city officials hope the items discussed will be taken into consideration.

Group Co-ordinator and Bulletin Editor: Kenneth Ruddle, Asahigaoka-cho 7-22-511, Ashiya-shi, Hyogo-ken, Japan 659-0012.
Production: Information Section, Marine Resources Division, SPC, B.P. D5, 98848 Noumea Cedex, New Caledonia. Fax: (687) 263818
Produced with financial assistance from Australia, France and New Zealand.
Finally, I think we can celebrate, for this is the first issue of this particular Special Interest Group Bulletin that is based entirely on submitted manuscripts. Not only that, we overflowed, and have had to delay some articles until the next issue. But gentle reader, please don't relax even a little, for this laudable trend will never continue without your constant efforts.
In the first article, A cultural consensus analysis of marine ecological knowledge in the Solomon Islands, Kevin L. Grant and Marc L. Miller examine the merits of "cultural consensus analysis" and apply it to a case study of the ecological knowledge of Solomon Islanders. The authors are particularly interested in any differences between officially protected and unprotected areas, based on the assertions that practical, behaviour-oriented, and observation-based, local marine environmental knowledge is relevant to fisheries management and that the success or failure of conservation efforts depends largely on the attitudes of communities.
In Tabus or not taboos?: How to use traditional environmental knowledge to support sustainable development of marine resources in Melanesia, Anne Caillaud et al. summarise the results of a workshop on Traditional Knowledge and Coastal Resource Conservation for Countries and States of the Melanesian Spearhead Group, held at the International Marine Project Activities Centre (IMPAC) in Townsville, Australia, during March–April 2004. The workshop sought underlying principles and themes to enhance the use and recognition of local or traditional knowledge and laws to improve biodiversity conservation and management of coastal resources. The case studies collated in this article examine linkages between customary laws, especially fisheries management, and existing government regulations, the objective being to ensure that those regulations fully embrace customary practices. The studies demonstrate where local or traditional and customary management practices have been recognised within national laws, and suggest how appropriate local or traditional aspects can be drafted into policy and law within the different levels of government (local, provincial or state, national or federal; and international within multilateral environment agreements). The studies could be used to establish better cooperation between traditional and "modern" knowledge and ensure optimal use of national marine resources in other coastal regions.
So much for the contents. In addition, I would like to draw your attention to SPC Special Interest Group newsletters and bulletins: Guidelines for authors and editors, which you can download from SPC's website at: http://coastfish.spc.int/News/SIG_guidelines.pdf. It should help with your future submissions.
We are also considering instituting some form of referee system for submissions. This is being done because we are well aware that some potential authors (especially those in academic institutions) may not wish to submit to a non-refereed journal because it does nothing for their career advancement. Some of the papers we now receive reflect considerable hard work, and it is a pity that authors cannot use them for promotion. On the other hand, we realise that some authors have no need of this, and we have no wish to deter them from submitting useful and informative articles. However, now may be the time to admit that I have been informally circulating some of the contributions (with authors' names removed) among colleagues, peers and friends to elicit opinions on suitability and quality. So, in effect, I have been operating this bulletin as a semi-refereed journal for several years now. Any opinions on what should be adopted as policy?

Vodacom shares are up by 2% after they declared a dividend of 280c per share.
Headlines earnings per share increased 656 cents for the year ended 31st march 2011. Revenue increased to R61.2bn from R58.54bn as group free cash flow grew 22.4% to R8.83bn.
It's is staggering to imagine the amount of cash this business generates but quite easy to explain. The number of mobile users in South Africa grew exponentially in the past two years while Vodacom's investment in infrastructure has remained very low as a percentage of expenses. Exactly how much they are spending on infrastructure development and maintenance remains a bit of a mystery as they don't disclose the exact numbers. So the way that they make these staggering profits is by signing up customers who desperately need cellphones and then they sweat their assets until their networks and infrastructure almost grind to a halt. They invest in as little as possible to squeeze every last cent of profit from the business so that they can make as much profit as possible and earn multi-million rand incentives at the end of the year.
What's wrong with that?, you ask. What's wrong is that today it is impossible to drive from Sandton to Johannesburg without dropping a call four times. It's impossible to get decent data connections in more than 87% of the country. The cost of the phone calls on our mobile networks is exorbitantly expensive and totally out of line internationally. Vodacom is not the only culprit, but the other cellphone companies as well. The shareholders who will receive this generous payout are all very happy. Happy that they have been complicit in one of the greatest mass exploitations of consumers in the history of this country. Vadacom should be taking their ill gotten profits and re investing it into their infrastructure so that we can receive the services that we are paying for, so that our dropped calls can stop and we don't have to re-dial twenty times a day, and further bolster their coffers, and so that we can use cellular services for what they were intended, to increase productivity. Every time my call drops I can see in my minds eye how Pieter Uys made another R0,0000001. Every time my 3G connection drops I wonder if I would have a decent 3G connection if I lived in the same street as Mr Uys? I suppose he would have a cellphone tower that works near him.
What is it with this corporate culture? Why is it never enough? Why do you have to literally steal from your customers to make billions when you can make hundreds of millions in an honorable way? I am ashamed of the fact that Vodacom is a South African company and I am ashamed of Mr Pieter Uys and his board. I am ashamed of the Vodacom shareholders. I am disgusted by the wholesale rape and pillaging of consumers in South Africa by Vodacom and companies like them.

1991 Dodge Other Pickups LEGeneral Info - This my Daily Driver. This truck is intercooled which makes it a late 1991 production stated by 1991.5 year. This truck runs and drives flawlessly. I do not have any complaints on driveability. The Brakes are fresh, no pull left or right, oil is fresh, filters are fresh and so on. I've done a decent amount of upgrades and fixing a lot of stuff from the previous owner over the last 1.5 years of owning the truck... Luckily this truck wasn't abused like most. I've installed a Borgeson Steering Shaft, Hungry Diesel Low Pressure Piston Pump, Denny T Stage 2 Fuel Pin, 3200 Spring, Rancho Suspension All around, 1 new Injection Line, Couple new Injection Line Isolators, Refilled the R134A coolant, and installed New Odometer gears.
I have disconnected the cruise control and will be included, It worked before I removed it. The odometer worked for a few miles for me but as of now it is still not working. I believe the connection is bad or the little odometer motor is bad, The map light is missing, and the interior cab light has a short. The power window, door locks and mirrors work as they should. The window controls on the driver door are pushing in a little deeper than normal but is an easy fix and doest affect function at the moment. The Air Conditioning works perfect and The heater performes as it should. All the functions of the Heater A/C controls work as they should.
Overall a Really clean truck inside and out that is 99% rust free that starts with first bump of the key. No blowby or abnormal oil usage. Its hard to state any mileage other than the odo stopped at 225-226 and In my experience by the way the motor runs, cleanliness of the engine bay and overall condition of the truck it cant be to much more or significantly more than the odometer reading. I've driving the truck roughly 10,000 miles since I've owned it. I drive mostly around Huntington Beach lately. I"ve been on about 5 or 6 1000 mile trips in the truck. Ive never had any major problems. There is rust starting in the top passenger cab corner but other than that there is no rust. Body is as straight as they come with one small dent in the driver front fender. See pics.
I might be forgetting some stuff but I'm attaching lots of pictures. The pictures and video are part of the description. This is a used vehicle and I am no expert. I do not have any warrantys or refunds for I am selling my truck privately... Truck comes with a California Title and Is Currently registered to my personal plates. The license plate you see with the truck in the pics and videos will not be coming with the vehicle. The 4 tires, 4" Exhaust to 6" tip, pyro probe, and cb radio do come with the truck. The sheep skin seat cover will be stayin with me. I will install the longer exhaust for new buyer.
I have video of the truck cold starting, blowby check and driving up and down my street but I cant seem to attach them through ebay... I have video starting with a dead cold start. If you have any questions, inquiries, about local, international sales feel free to email, call or text any questions 24-7 to 1-949-295-8839. I can also send more specific video or pictures. I accept paypal, Credit cards Through Paypal, Bank Transfers, VenMo, etc. I can assist with shipping domestic and foreign. All shipping cost and help from me are up to buyer.

Sticking to a regular exercise routine can be difficult if you don't have a plan. The key to maintaining your exercise schedule is to make realistic goals that you know you can achieve. Many women choose to train for a 5K because this is an attainable goal that can be reached with just a little training and hard work. Developing a 5k training schedule can help you lose weight, get in shape, and also feel good about yourself. If you are ready to go from couch potato to 5k you will need to follow a few running guidelines.
The Right Shoes
Perhaps this isn't your first time training. If you have struggled with running in the past, you may have been wearing the wrong shoes. Inappropriate or ill-fitting footwear can ruin any attempt at developing a 5k training schedule. If you experienced pain or pronation (rotational movement) in your feet, then you probably did not have the right running shoes.
When you run, it is common for your feet to swell up to half a size larger than your normal shoe size. When buying running shoes, you may want to consider trying a slightly larger pair to account for this swelling. A properly-fitting running shoe should allow you to wiggle your toes, but also provide plenty of heel support. With the right pair of shoes, you will transform yourself from a couch potato to a 5k athlete.
The Right Form
Now that you are ready to actually start your 5K running schedule, it is important that you do so correctly. Poor running form can cause injuries, which could be a serious hindrance to your running routine. Try to push off the ground with as much force as possible and be sure to straighten your neck and back. Keep your shoulders low and loose. Some people naturally have the right running form, but if not, simply try to focus on maintaining a balanced posture.
Set Realistic Goals
Of course your ultimate goal is to run a 5k, but you will need to set realistic benchmark goals along the way. If you are totally new to running, you can try alternating walking and running when you first start training. Run for one minute and then walk for one minute. You can continue to train like this until you feel comfortable just running. Start with three days a week and gradually work your way up to five days a week. Make sure each workout includes a warm-up and a cool-down.
Start Training and Stay Motivated
Once you start your 5K training schedule, it is important to stay motivated. Whatever motivation you choose, make sure to focus on that idea when you train. If weight loss if your motivation, then think about how good you'll feel when you are in good physical shape. If your motivation is endurance and strength, then focus on these positive benefits while you run. It's possible for anyone to go from couch potato to 5k if they work hard and train on a regular basis.

By JD Heyes
It should be said — plainly, loudly and often — that far-Left "progressives" and their ideological soulmates in the Democratic Party care nothing about "equality," because if they really did, they wouldn't pit ethnic groups, members of various sexual statuses and even political rivals against each other. But they do so because that is where the movement derives its power.
If you can understand that concept, then it becomes a lot easier to understand why they say, do and believe many of the things they espouse when it comes to gender issues, gender roles and the bastardization of what is "normal" into something that is immoral, wrong and, thus, in need of change.
Take, for example, recent claims made by Leftist researcher Whitney Stark at the University of Arizona's Institute for LGBT Studies (yes, there really is such an entity). As reported by Breitbart News, she states that she's created a "feminist" version of quantum physics, specifically to get rid of what she sees as bigotry in studying the principle discoverer of physics, Sir Isaac Newton. (RELATED: JUNK SCIENCE: Climate Change Now Being Blamed For Mental Health Problems… Is There Anything It Doesn't Cause?)
Called intersectional quantum physics, Stark says her version battles back against perceived bigotry allegedly inherent in classical science — just because too many men were involved in developing it.
"Intersectionality and quantum physics can provide differing perspectives on organizing practices long used by marginalized people, for enabling apparatuses that allow for new possibilities of safer spaces, and for practices of accountability," she wrote in the abstract of a new paper she expects most everyone to take seriously (but who won't), "Assembled Bodies: Reconfiguring Quantum Identities."

After cleaning the Registry, the first thing many people do is to run analysis again to see if it's really clean. In some cases, you may see some new Registry entries appear in the second analysis.
This is nothing to worry about. Removing unneeded Registry entries, can sometimes uncover other entries that can also be removed.
All you need to do is run Clean again and these will be removed.
If you find some registry entries that are not removed even after a second clean then this is almost certainly because the entry has been locked by the OS. In this case, it is best left alone.
If you really want to, you can hide this entry from the results by adding it to the exclude list (Right click > Add to Exclude list). This will stop the entry being shown in the analysis or results pane.

Interior Design for Living Room
Interior design for living room should never be too extravagant or expensive. Keep in mind that a living room is a space that is widely used by all members of the family, especially during waking hours, and this must be taken into account when deciding on the interior design for living room.
The use of traditional materials can also be the central theme of interior design for living room. As soon as you decide on such material, the other decoration and furnishings seem to be decided automatically. The idea is one of the following nature and the colors of the furnishings and the walls can follow this general trend. However, the care of this type of furniture is a bit problematic because the surfaces can collect dust and dirt and also create conditions for the development of insects.
A slightly larger living room will be nice with Victorian decorating ideas. You will get a sense of opulence and wealth, especially because of the generally mahogany colors of the furniture. Furnishings and curtains are usually quite heavy and require the use of liners and elaborate methods for pulling the curtains to let in light.
Nowadays, modern Zen design is very popular in interior design for living room. In modern Zen design, a central focus is designed with a plant, body of water or sculpture as the centerpiece around which all the interior spaces of the room are designed. All furniture and furnishings, lighting and colors should underline this orientation. These spaces are considered very relaxing places with a lot of positive energy.
Interiors for living room can only be decided if you have your total budget. Do not spend too much on any aspect. Furniture, furnishings, colors and lighting should be equally important. Everyone should fit the general decoration and complement the others. Whatever interior design for living room you choose, make sure it is not boring or boring and you can live with your interior design for living room for many years.

Creating a comprehensive preventive maintenance program for your facilities is not difficult – just time-consuming. Most facility management departments simply do not have the staff resources to devote to this special project. ISES has created an organized approach that simplifies the process. Let our experts deliver a complete PM plan specific to your equipment and facilities. At the same time, we can barcode each device and create a master equipment inventory for upload into your CMMS.
ISES offers three distinct Operations and Maintenance Services. Ideally, an equipment inventory would precede the planning phase, which would be followed by the program development phase.
ISES delivers an accurate inventory of the maintained equipment in each of your buildings. The first step is for ISES to collect available drawings to plan the work efficiently. Next, our personnel visit your site(s), walk your buildings and gather nameplate data for each item. Service or equipment type is noted, and any available drawings and schedules are collected. Equipment is typically barcoded while our teams are recording the data. We recommend barcode tags that provide the option to move toward mobile maintenance tracking via handheld devices.
Years of experience and consultation with our clients have helped us to balance your want for a detailed inventory with your need to contain the cost for these services. We apply a commonsense approach to the intent to record and tag every equipment item. For example, you may desire to tag every exit sign in every building – but this level of detail can cause data overload. We recommend the use of a Virtual Tag for such assets. Similarly, the belt within an air handler doesn't need a tag; the air handler itself does. We create parent/child relationships for such equipment and recommend tagging the parent only. A third recommendation we make involves employing system asset tags but not barcodes for such items as roofs and fenestrations to capture corrective work orders and maintenance procedures.
Our inventory teams capture the data in handheld tablets. Upon return to our office, we conduct QA on the data, which often involves extended discussions to ensure the final deliverable meets your needs.
The final deliverables will be a fully inventoried and labeled building as well as Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets containing the collected data and detailing the inventoried assets. The data files can be provided in a structure you specify for upload into your IWMS/CMMS.
The maintenance plan development phase involves formulating the data structure for the equipment and maintenance portion of the IWMS/CMMS. ISES furnishes keywords along with associated attribute collections and then custom-develops the maintenance program. We provide a comprehensive plan that can include: standardized maintenance task lists, frequencies, time standards, shop assignments, safety notes, and listings of tools and materials required.
This information originates from our extensive ISES Maintenance Procedure Library. We also research original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-recommended maintenance procedures for application to the inventoried equipment. The resulting report is delivered in Microsoft Excel® workbooks, allowing swift upload through the back end of the IWMS/CMMS.
How do you develop a program and budget for operating and maintaining a newly constructed or renovated facility? An ISES Operations & Maintenance Programming report will result in:
– A Total Cost of Ownership Model, including startup and annual costs
– Staffing estimate for maintenance and repair, custodial and grounds
– Maintenance program development (routine, preventive and predictive procedures)
The process also helps identify and create management and key player roles, an initial budget structure and initial IWMS/CMMS usage auditing. The primary advantage of this service, however, is that it is a third-party illustration of the loads a new building can levy on the FM organization, presentable to owners' governing bodies, which often are unaware of and therefore trivialize such effects.
The bound report can also become an essential building handbook for the facility operations organization. The staffing and cost estimates will show multiple levels of maintenance in accordance with the APPA Levels of Performance.

Whereas most science fiction films from this year have been about complicated technologies, explosions and a focus on entertainment, Another Earth is a movie about thoughts. While the film may not excite all audiences, those interested in seeing a contemplative, thoughtful film will be pleased.
After a parallel Earth is discovered within our solar system, we are suddenly faced with the possibility of another us. Using this brilliant science fiction premise, the film follows a young woman, played by stunning newcomer Brit Marling (who also co-wrote the film), as she deals with everyday problems and extraordinary circumstances while contemplating this earth-shattering revelation that we aren't alone.
The film's greatest strength is that it allows the science fiction premise to affect every aspect of its story while never completely taking over or burdening it. You could easily describe Another Earth without giving away any of the science fiction elements. At its heart, it's a film about damaged people coming to terms with loss and forgiveness.
In honor of letting you be surprised by this film, I won't go into the sultry details about the science fiction elements, but I will say that the film provides an idea of alternate lives and realities in a unique and refreshing way. Although its approach was much different, we have seen a similar science fiction element in the hit Source Code, and I would argue that Another Earth succeeds in making its science fiction philosophy much clearer than the crowd-pleaser. These two films are certainly working on different levels, and it would be interesting to see how Another Earth would benefit from more or less science fiction, but I think the film adds just enough in the background to provide interesting ideas while striving to be an emotional, character piece.
If there is a major problem with the film, it comes with the love story plot-line, which is so muted that it flirts with becoming mundane. I am a strict critic of films that sell implausible romances and unremarkable love stories, and while Another Earth presents a situation that I find realistic, it doesn't quite earn some of its key moments. More specifically, due to the tone and meandering nature of its story, when our two main characters begin to have an emotional connection, I felt that the film skipped a few steps. In a film that is so much about the relationship of two characters, this would usually be completely damning, but there is enough in the film for this to be forgiven.
A small, quiet picture, Another Earth is undeniably one of the more creative indie pictures released in the past few years. Unlike most sci-fi, you won't come out of the screening with your adrenaline pumping, rather the film allows you to question the realities and consequences of life, which is quite a lofty goal for a film of any genre. Some may be left wanting a little more given the intriguing sci-fi possibilities, and I can understand that feeling, but with the right expectations and a mind open to tackling the appropriately unanswered philosophical questions left by the end of the film, it will stick with you.

Cost effective stormwater control in existing tanks
Cumberland, RI, March 26, 2012: Sewer overflows are major contributors to violations in municipal wastewater treatment plants. In the past, there have been only a few ways to handle the wet weather contribution to a plant. Ballasted flocculation or reconfiguring the plant entirely- both very costly options. Biowater has come up with a cost-effective, dependable way to handle these issues.
Biowater's CFIC® - Continuous Flow Intermittent Cleaning process has all of the benefits of traditional biological fixed-film technology but has many more.
Biowater's CFIC® for CSO and SSO work brings the following benefits:
- Controlled wasting
- High Volatile Solids content = renewable energy
- Low Effluent TSS
- Continuous treatment- no monitoring needed
- Water is dischargeable – no need to recirculate
- Easy retrofit – don't have to worry about existing hydraulic profile
- No chemical dosing
- Low operational costs
The basis of our CFIC® biofilm technology is the biological growth on polyethylene pieces called media or carriers. These surfaces provide a protective surface area for the biology to grow. The biofilms can handle extremely high loading conditions without any problems with clogging or shock.
Biowater Technology is an international provider of biological water and wastewater treatment systems. Our products include: MBBR, IFAS, Package Systems and a new generation of MBBR-CFIC® Our employees offer over 40 years' experience in the water and wastewater industry. The company focus is on the development and sales of innovative technologies and solutions for both industrial and municipal markets.

THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER is an unusual read. It is beautifully written, with unique turns of phrase and indelible imagery. It is magical realism of the best sort, where the strange becomes mundane and yet still extraordinary.
It fits a little awkwardly in the YA category. Ostensibly, Ava Lavender is the protagonist and this is her story. It reads much more like a family saga. The book traces the lives of her great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother, as well as the men in their lives. Sometimes it follows along the lives of other passing characters, spinning out the strange connections between them. Almost half of the book passes before Ava is even born.
The women in Ava's family are marked by tragic, foolish love. As much as I loved the writing, I was turned off by this aspect of the book. The lives of her ancestors are pretty brutal and tragic, misery porn wrapped up in a layer of literary sophistication. But I kept reading because I did love the writing, and I wanted to reach Ava and learn her story, what made her sorrows stand out above the rest.
I think THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER is an amazing accomplishment, particularly for a first-time author. It has a singular voice and a clear vision of what it is and what it is trying to achieve. The plot is much tighter than it appears at first, and the depiction of obsessive love is terrifying. At the same time, I felt like I still wasn't sure who Ava Lavender was when I finished the book. Too much of it wasn't her story.
I highly recommend THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER for readers looking for an unusual fantasy, something gorgeous and sad. I hope Leslye Walton's sophomore novel is just as striking.

by Tyler Koch
The young boy woke to the sound of laughter. He blinked himself out of deep sleep and allowed his eyes to adjust. The red numbers on his clock read three minutes after midnight. He put his feet on the floor and stood, walking to his bedroom door and putting his ear against the wood. At first he heard nothing, and just as he was about to return to bed he heard his brother's voice. The young boy smiled and opened the door.
He crept down the hallway. On either side were pictures and drawings. The young boy wasn't a bad drawer, he was getting better at coloring. His most recent picture was of a dragon. The wings were a little small for how big the dragon was but his father said that was okay, that all famous artists drew dragon wings too small at one point or another. He said he liked the picture so much that he hung it on the wall. Next to the dragon were photographs of his brother. In some he played sports. Others with him and a pretty girl, both dressed for a special occasion. One was a collage of his brother at different ages, the photographs sideways and glued together. His father got a medal once for running a race and that was on the wall too.
When the young boy reached the end of the upstairs hallway he stopped at the top of the stairs and listened. He heard his brother's voice from below mixed with others he didn't recognize. They were probably friends of his from school. His brother always had a lot of friends. Once he got to ride with his mother to the high school to pick up his brother. He saw him in the courtyard surrounded by a group of group of boys and girls. They all laughed at something he said.
"My brother is funny," said the young boy.
The mother let out a long sigh. "He's like your grandfather that way. Always the center of attention."
The young boy took a seat on the top stair and peeked through the opening in the railing. He saw the kitchen and half the living room from the angle. His brother was just in his line of vision, sitting on a barstool facing away.
"—on man. You can't be for real."
His brother waved a brown bottle that he held. He adopted a posture on the barstool that the young boy knew well. He called it his serious pose.
"Dennis, listen to me. You're not allowed to speak for the rest of the night."
Laughter, and his brother sat back and took a drink from his brown bottle.
"Well what about you?" asked somebody the young boy couldn't see.
"What do I think? I don't think it matters all that much who made the team and who didn't. We're all on the team, aren't we? Who cares about the others."
"I know Jerry was upset."
"Then he should have tried harder." His brother held up both hands. "Enough of that. It's getting depressing in here. Dennis! Another round for me and my boys."
One of his brother's friends entered the kitchen and opened the fridge and took four brown bottles, two for each hand. He gave one to his brother and disappeared from view.
"It's lucky your parents are gone for the night."
"Cheers to that," said another.
His brother raised his brown bottle and drank. "Cheers indeed. Otherwise we would have had to go to Marvin's house and we all know how that would have gone."
A collective laugh.
"Maybe his sister would have been there."
"Cut it out—"
"Ah what are you complaining about Marvin? Your sister is a looker. What's the big deal? She's what, twenty five. She's not going for any of us anyway." Somebody said something the young boy couldn't hear, and his brother grinned. "Well, she wouldn't be going for any of you."
"Please, like you have a shot."
"A better shot than you Grant. Tell me the last time you looked at a woman without turning red."
His brother laughed and he spilled some of the liquid in his brown bottle. He cursed and wiped the stain on his pants. "See what you did Grant? I'm like Pinocchio. You tell a lie and I spill my beer." The young boy's brother adopted another pose, one leg crossed over the other. He used this one when he had something important to say. "Listen to me boys and listen well. You want to know the secret of women? Everybody thinks it's buying chocolate and sweet talking. I've made that mistake, I know most of you have. It's not easy trying to play the field. Sometimes you think a girl is in to you and it turns out you're wrong. Other times she plays hard to get and no matter what you do she turns you down. So I sat down one day and thought to myself, what the heck is going on? That's when I had an epiphany—look up that word Dennis if you don't know what it means." The group laughed. "I realized that we were doing it all wrong. We were the ones going after the girls instead of having the girls come to us. I mean, let's think about this. How much easier would it be if dating were the other way around? Us guys, we're easy. We either like a girl or we don't. We'll tell her right to her face. But girls like to play their games. They like to keep us guessing. So what did I do? I ignored them. I waited until they got tired and came to talk to me instead of the other way around. That's how I knew the ones who were interested." His brother took a drink from his brown bottle and wiped his lips with his forearm. "That's how it's done. Let the girls come to you."
A silence followed his brother's speech. The young boy moved down a step to get a better look. He saw the four friends, scattered around the living room on the couch or the loveseat or the ground. Each of them had the same brown bottle in their hands.
"That doesn't work."
His brother lifted an eyebrow. "No? Tell me who's the hottest girl in school?"
The friends all passed a look.
"That's what I thought. In fact, isn't the Sadie Hawkins coming up? Perfect example. You can sit back and let the girls come to you—except you Grant. Patricia is never going to bite."
"You don't know that."
His brother shook his head and coughed and spilled more of the liquid onto his pants. "What did I tell you? What did I say? You lie and I spill my beer." He stood up and pointed to the dark spot on his thigh. "Pinocchio." He walked over and put his leg next to Grant's face. "Next time you talk about Patricia I'm going to spill my beer on you instead."
Grant tried to push his brother's leg away. "That smells."
"Not as bad as you do."
But his brother backed away and returned to the barstool. "Seriously. I'm not going to have any more beer left if we keep this up."
All his friends laughed except Grant. He stood and asked where the bathroom was.
"That way," pointed his brother. "And try not to stink up the place. My brother's room is right above the bathroom. Let's try not to wake him up."
Grant shuffled off and his brother took another sip from the brown bottle.
"I didn't know your brother was here."
"Where else would he be?"
"With your parents."
His brother laughed. "You think they want take care of him? Not likely. You've met him before. You know how old he is?"
"Ten." His brother snorted. "Try seven. That's eleven years between us. You figure out how that happened."
The young boy moved down another step. His brother was talking about him and he wanted to hear what he had to say. His brother chose another pose, this one for when he felt relaxed.
"But really, he's not all that bad. For being seven he's pretty decent. Katrin even likes him. He likes to draw pictures for her whenever she comes over." His brother took a drink from the brown bottle. "She's really good about the whole thing. The drawings suck but she doesn't care. My dad—" his brother laughed "—my dad even hung one of the drawings on the wall. Can you believe it? Thankfully Katrin takes all the drawings I don't want so I don't have to worry about dealing with that."
"Better than my brother," said one of the friends. "He just complains all the time."
"And you don't think mine doesn't? Please. Ten bucks says my brother complains way more than yours. And your brother is old enough that at least he won't cry that often. Just last week we were wrestling and I stepped on my brother's toe and he started crying. Just like that. Of course my parents thought it was my fault. It's hard to teach a younger brother about being tough, you know? I think I was born that way, but my brother—my brother just doesn't have it in him. I don't think he'll ever play football. We have an uncle who plays badminton." His brother shrugged. "Maybe that's all he's cut out for."
"Badminton? Seriously."
His brother leaned forward. "I'm telling you guys. That'll be my brother. Master Champion of badminton. Won't my family be proud."
They all laughed, like it was the funniest thing they ever heard.
"Alright, alright," said his brother, holding up his hand. "Quiet down. We don't want to wake him. In fact, I'm going to go check on him right now, just to be safe. I can already hear my mom yelling at me for waking him up."
The young boy got to his feet and quietly as he could and tiptoed back to his room and shut the door and crawled back into bed. He closed his eyes. He heard his brother open up his door.
"You awake?" he whispered.
The young boy didn't answer. He pretended to be asleep.
His brother shut the door and the young boy opened his eyes. He thought about what his brother said. He was upset that he wasn't tough like his brother wanted him to be. That's what he would try to do, not cry when he was hurt. His brother and his father never cried. He didn't want to cry either. He reached beneath his covers and pinched himself. His eyes began to water but he squeezed his teeth and kept the tears from spilling. There. That wasn't that hard.
Suddenly he yawned. He was more tired than he thought. He closed his eyes again.
Badminton. He'd never heard of that before but his brother said he was going to be a Master Champion and so he wanted to learn. He wondered if it was really hard. He hoped not. He didn't want to let his brother down. He wished he were funny. He wished he had friends that stayed over late. Maybe he would have a girlfriend when he was older. There was a girl in his elementary school who said she liked him. Her name was Rachel.
More than anything the young boy wanted to be like his brother. He feel asleep with a smile on his lips, to the sound of laughter.

MOSCOW (AFP) - A Boeing 737 belonging to a domestic Russian airline crashed on Sunday while attempting to land at an airport in western Tatarstan, killing all 50 people on board, Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry said.
"According to preliminary information, all the people on board the flight, 44 passengers and six crew members, were killed," a ministry spokesman told AFP.
"There were no children among the passengers," she added.
The local branch of the ministry said in an earlier statement that 44 people had died when the jet, arriving from Moscow's Domodedovo airport, crashed on landing in the Volga city of Kazan at 7.25pm.
The Tatarstan Airlines plane "hit the runway and burst into flames", Russia's Investigative Committee said in a statement.
Local news agencies reported the plane had tried to land three times before crashing.
Air safety in Russia is a major issue for the authorities following a severe deterioration in the quality of domestic services after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Officials blame most problems on pilot inexperience as well as poor maintenance by the small and poorly regulated airlines that have sprouted up across Russia in the past two decades.
Kazan is the capital city of the Russian republic of Tatarstan.

The Concept
The Fountainhead is a futuristic building designed to serve as a parking tower for autonomous cars and VTOL electric drones like the Ehang 216 and the Lilium jet. The Fountainhead would act as an urban airport for people commuting from their cottage during the weekend to their residence in the heart of the city.
Origin of the Idea
In September 2016, we published a residential tower concept that was engineered to receive drones on its balconies. This novel solution proved interesting, but it would result in increased noise near private residences. We wanted to create a newer concept that would allow for urban air traffic to be concentrated in a multi-story parking space for drones and autonomous cars.
The name of the concept, Fountainhead, was inspired by a book written in 1943 by Ayn Rand (The Fountainhead). The protagonist is a young architect who designs modernist buildings…
How it Works
The Fountainhead is a concept tower that would act as a multi-story car park for private flying vehicles and taxis. It could be designed for specific consumer needs and developed to have many new and interesting architectures to fit with the client's structural vision.
Incorporated into the building would be an elevator system designed to bring the owners and their VTOL aircraft up to the take-off deck where they would easily be able to fly off. Another elevator connected to street level would allow autonomous cars to be parked in the multi-story building during flights. The drones and flying cars would be parked by autonomous conveyors able to move vehicles into small bays which allow for increased space utilization.
The Fountainhead would also contain elevators and stairs for passengers and a large lobby below the roof comprised of large panoramic windows offering a bird-eye view of the city. Units for coffee shops or restaurants could be incorporated along with public areas as well as a private waiting room while vehicles are retrieved.
It may also be possible to situate the Fountainhead near or on top of a transport hub allowing commuters to park their cars further outside the city and avail of affordable public transport. This would reduce travel times, traffic and stress for commuters.
The Fountainhead concept was imagined in March 2019 by Charles Bombardier and designed by Jorge Ciprian, an Industrial Designer from Argentina. Jorge graduated with a degree in design from the University of Buenos Aires, and he currently works as a freelance designer. Jorge also created the images of the Odron plant watering drone and the Panoramair aircraft concept.

Jurgen Klopp has taken the blame for Arsenal almost managing to snatch a draw in our 4-3 win this afternoon.
We were 4-1 up with 25 minutes to go, but goals from Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chambers gave the Gunners an unlikely route back into the match.
"I played a big part in the excitement of the last half-hour, because it's not allowed to celebrate the fourth goal like this with 35 minutes to go," admitted Klopp.
"At this moment, we switched off the machines. The game was not over. Arsenal lost, but we gave them a path back into the game." (BBC)
Klopp laments pre-season schedule

He also joked about his glasses incident.
"If somebody wants to watch me lose my glasses, they can," he laughed.
"I will try to improve on this."
Double goal-scorer Coutinho also had his say on the events.
"It was a good, tough game. We are happy because we won. The first 20 minutes, we didn't play very well like the manager wanted," he said.
"We played a difficult game and played really well. We'll focus on the next game, and take it step by step."
