Internet marketing is about marketing goods and services on-line, using many possible aspects of the web. Among these are, email marketing, PPC (Pay per click), subscribers' lists, SEO (Search Engine optimisation), that drives sales through electronic means to websites, banner advertising, which can include slides, static or pop-ups. This list is not exhaustive.
Why Internet Marketing?
The huge trend in on-line sales globally, which is $3 trillion in USD (United States Dollars) in 2015 encourages individuals to take internet marketing as a profession. This report suggests that this trend will continue in the foreseeable future. Moreover most corporations now rely on internet and affiliate marketers to promote and sell their products.
Internet marketing also provides a huge opportunity for entrepreneurs, and those who want to be self- employed to take a share of the market with minimal set-up cost incomparable to the traditional way of setting up a business.
Advantages of Internet marketing
- Convenience – An internet marketing business is very easy to set up with minimal cost than a traditional business, although we agree that you must have a functional website, managed by you, as the first important tool to make a success of your on-line business.
- Support less stocking of products – For those who want to market their products on-line, internet marketing support less stocking of products. An on-line business can afford to stock minimal products and only restock on demand when sales increase.

A senior ANZ executive has had his identity stolen and used to fraudulently borrow $30,000 from Westpac, exposing huge gaps in the nation's frontline defences against digital crime.
The Melbourne-based banking executive's driving licence details were scanned – or photocopied – and then sold to the alleged thief, who was able to use them to create a fraudulent "banking profile" and make an online loan application.
New findings from the Australian Payments Network, which monitors cash, cheque and digital transactions, reveal growth in domestic identity fraud for online payments last year soared by 28 per cent to more than $175 million, compared with a 10 per cent growth in other payment fraud.
Thieves operating around the globe at the speed-of-light using the sophisticated digital technologies are being routinely combated by Australian officials using pen and paper procedures, analysis reveals.
For example, the ANZ executive is still waiting for his stolen driving licence to be replaced and personal details updated more than five months after reporting the theft of his card to Westpac.
That is despite having had the theft corroborated by separate police and Westpac investigations.
This means his identity – or "banking profile" created by the thief – could be resold or repeatedly used by criminals anywhere in the world to apply for additional loans, credit cards, as points towards a passport, to buy guns, transfer illicit cash and innumerable other unlawful online transactions.
"Of the flotilla of disinterested parties, VicRoads (which issue driving licences) are comfortably the worst," the ANZ executive said about repeated attempts to replace his licence.
VicRoads has been asked for a comment.
The head of the Black Economy Taskforce, appointed by the federal government to identify and recommend strategies for combating the black economy, recently warned that the nation's banking and financial systems are being "systemically undermined" by rampant identity theft.
Call for biometric methods
Michael Andrew, former global head of KPMG, is urging biometric methods of identification, using fingerprints or voice recognition, be urgently and widely adopted.
The Australian Financial Review recently revealed how the identities of 90 Victorians, including their names, ages, addresses and photographs, are on sale for $950 to anyone in the world with access to the "dark web", a network of websites that cannot be found by traditional search engines.
They were obtained when the victims allowed their driver's licences to be scanned to gain access to a Melbourne nightclub, an increasingly popular method for screening patrons to pubs, clubs and nightclubs. Scanning involves taking a picture of the card.
NSW police are investigating the recent disappearance, and possible theft, of up to 16,000 drivers' licences. Crime gangs using digital technology and paying with untraceable digital currency Bitcoin can choose from an astonishing menu of ready-to-go driving licences, or other identities, which is where the ANZ executive's identity is likely to be still being traded.
Names, addresses and licence details are used for the licence to open a bank account using a pre-activated SIM card also bought over the dark web using Bitcoin. The SIM card is needed to provide a phone number where the lender can send details of the account.
Lenders are struggling to keep up with the changing technologies and the need to balance improving customer online experience with fraud prevention, according to experts. The Australian Payments Network estimates total fraud on the $1.8 trillion in card and cheque transactions to be about $540 million, or more than $10 million a week.
But the exponential increase in online payments increases the risk of fraud, which can be executed with the press of a keyboard, but can take months to detect.
For example, the Network estimates that online shopping is growing five times faster than traditional retail spending.

[WP] Fourteen new wikipedias have been created: Dutch Low Sakson, West
Flamish, Ligurian, Kalmyk, Tetum, Papiamentu, Romany, Samogitian,

[Britannica Vs. Nature] In December 2005 the famous journal "Nature"
published a news article comparing the science content of Encyclopedia
Britannica with that of the English Wikipedia. The message of the
article was that both Britannica and Wikipedia contain errors, that
there are more errors in Wikipedia then in Britannica, but that
nevertheless Wikipedia is not so much more innacurate than Britannica.
Britannica has finally responded to the article. They find that the way
Nature conducted their inquiry was unfair, and that the results are
invalid. Nature disagrees with Britannica's POV and stands by their
article. This does not directly affect Wikipedia; it is Nature that
claimed that Wikipedia is almost as good as Britannica, not the
Wikimedia Foundation.

=== Last weeks feedback ===
- The reason that non-sysops get an inactive "block" link in Meta's RC
is: it is included in the summary for the user creation log. This can
be changed by removing the $4 value from [[MediaWiki:Newuserloglog]]. If
you do that there will be no "block" link for that user in the logfile
of new created accounts.
- Not only on EN Wikipedia but also on EN Wikinews can blocked users can
still edit their own talk page. [[meta:User:Eloquence]] knows how to
enable this function.
=== Did you know ... ===
... that you can do free positive promotion for Wikipedia?
A lot of websites give away free stuff or let you register to make a
change to win tickets for something. That is nice but you need first to
have something before you can give it away.
Google Gmail invites. After 2 years, there are still many people who
would like to have an account but do not know how to get one. You can
give these away with the greetings of your language Wikipedia or sister
1# make a "[hidden email] account
2# make additional accounts like wikipediaXX01@, wikipediaXX02@, etc.
for harvesting invites
3# put in the external links section of your gmail signature a
mailto:link . "If you would like to receive free invite Wikipedia can
give you one. Send an empty mail to [hidden email]"
4# give invites to you visitors with the greetings of your project. If
you are low on invites request that they send you one back.
This way you can give a freebie, and your visitors get a positive
association with Wikipedia. The Dutch Wikipedia has been providing this
service since the Summer of 2004, and has sent many hundreds of invites
in that time. If you need a invite yourself, contact Wikizine.

Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
I doubt that greater news could be announced. He will not remember our sins any more. If you are a born again Christian your sins and your sin debt have been taken care of. He doesn't remember them and he has no plans of making a future sacrifice for your sins.
This truth is a great help. It teaches you that He is all sufficient for your sins and failures. It isn't like He saved you and forgave you for some of your sins or your past sins and it is up to you to take care of the future sins.
Your sins are forgiven and forgotten period. You can rest in Him, His Word and what He has done for you.
You have lived with guilt way too long. God is pleased when we understand that it is all about His grace and what He has done and not what we are going to do. We have pressured ourselves and lived in frustration because we do not know who we are.
We are new creatures. We are born again. Our sins are not only forgiven they are not remembered any more. Now go out and live like who you are.

Our general rule of thumb for mowing is as follows: Spring and Fall – every 7-10 days or as needed, Summer – every 10-14 days or as needed. Weather permitting!! If a customer wants to be cut every 7 days, we can accommodate your request. However, we explain when the Proposal is presented, that we like to mow when it is needed and it is healthier for your turf and maybe for your wallet. We are very flexible. If we explain our process (why we do what we do) and you still want it on the schedule weekly, then that is no problem at all.
How much have you been watering them? Have you been over watering them? Have you finger checked the soil to see if they are too dry or too wet? Call us and we can help you with this.
Of course! Our friendly and knowledgeable office staff is available to answer your questions by phone, text or email. You can email us at email@example.com and mention in the subject "Important Please Help!" We will respond with in 2 to 4 hrs. or sooner.
PLEASE NOTE: because we are a small company, we have one person in the office part-time answering the phones. The owner is answering calls as well, but he is also working in the field, on sales calls and in meetings. Although we can not answer every call right when you call us, we PROMISE that if you leave a message, we will call you back within 2 hours.
It sounds like Bag worms. If it is and they are not old, then they could destroy the tree and any others near them within a few days to a week. Go out to the tree and take a look at the bag and see if it is moving or wiggling. If it is, please check if you can see a worm head sticking out and eating the needles. If so, then call us right away and we can send someone over to spray your trees to control these Bag worms before they destroy all your evergreens.
It sounds like it could be a Nitrogen deficiency. We would have to come out, take a soil sample and take a look to properly diagnose this and treat it the right way. If it is a nitrogen deficiency, then it could be as simple as fertilizing your lawn through the season to give your turf the proper amount of micro and macro nutrients. It is best to wait for the lab to return the results of your soil sample. These reports are extremely helpful in properly diagnosing your lawn and determining what might be needed instead of guessing.
We would need to come out and look at it, but if it is what I am thinking, it is not harmful to your animals. To be on the safe side, let's take a look first. Call us at 240-460-6800 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
There are way too many variables to consider when removing a tree on someone's property. We would consider what size it is, how close it is to a structure, what kind of tree it is, if there is decay in it, and if it is safe to climb. With that said, no reputable tree care company would ever give a price over the phone or email. We would have to come out and assess the tree in person to review these factors and many more, but don't worry we do not charge you for this service.
We accept major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard and Discover. We also accept cash and check. Please contact us if you have questions about payment methods or setting up scheduled payments for recurring services.

Many communities in California have been underrepresented or undercounted in past Censuses. The 2020 Census will decide how billions of federal dollars are distributed in California. An undercount could impact funding for our schools, health services, child care, emergency services and many other programs.The 2020 Census will decide the number of California's Congressional members and Electoral College votes. A complete count means more people in power who truly represent and advocate for our communities.
The California State Assembly members are limited to three terms ( 6 years) since 1996. The State Senate members are limited to two terms (8 years) since 1998. These term limits are lifetime, not consecutive. The Governor can serve two terms of four years, with a limit of two terms. This constitutional limitation was passed in November 1990.
Redistricting is a priority issue for education and advocacy at all levels of the League.
Local governments – cities, special districts and counties – are the entities closest to the people. They all have locally-elected governing boards and provide most of the direct services to citizens. In 1910, the Separation of Sources Act gave specific authority to local governments and the state to collect taxes,set rates and obligations. Today, they have very little control over their financial resources.

Soil Cleanup Under Tents
Many of the remaining cleanup activities at the site (soil solidification, stockpile management, and earth moving) will be conducted under tents to reduce emissions into the air as much as possible. These large, specialized structures will be fitted with air handling equipment that allow for work to be safely conducted within them.
Tent Movement
- Two tents will move across the site over the treatment areas. When treatment has been finished in an area, the tent will be moved by crane to the next area.
- Because of physical interferences and safety, approximately 10 percent of the remaining area to be treated will be performed outside of a tent. Vapor mitigation techniques (see below) will be used in these un-tented areas of soil solidification.
Tent locations are approximate. Sequencing for tent movement across the site is subject to change.
Air Treatment for Tents
- Air is pulled out of the tent for treatment in large external carbon units.
- Treated air is released above the ground through a stack on the carbon unit.
- Eventually, carbon inside the unit has absorbed all the contaminants it can and needs to be replaced.
- Air in the tent is replaced approximately 6 times per hour for proper ventilation and safety.
- Technicians monitor air emissions from the stand and sample air inside the unit to determine when carbon needs to be replaced.
- Carbon treatment is expected to be more than 95% effective in removing site-related airborne contaminants before release through the stack.
- Workers will wear personal protective gear such as respirators inside the tents at the start of the project and periodically if needed.
- Work is being completed in accordance with a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) air permit equivalency. To confirm that emissions meet the NJDEP's requirements, VOC emissions from the carbon units will be sampled three times - 1) during the first month of operation, 2) when working in a highly-contaminated area, 3) when carbon in the unit has absorbed at least 50% of the contaminants it can contain. Laboratory results will be posted here.
Air Monitoring
During the work under the tents, Honeywell, with EPA oversight, is continuing to implement an air monitoring program.
Vapor Mitigation for Work Outside Tents
Vapor mitigation techniques will be used for soil solidification activities outside tents. These mitigation measures include:
- Minimize area of disturbed soil - Excavated areas will be kept small (20 feet by 20 feet), completed, and covered with gravel before work moves to the next location.
- Odor suppression foam (Rusmar) - A non-toxic foam is sprayed on exposed soil liberally and proactively to suppress odors.
- Posi-Shell - Posi-shell is a natural clay-based mortar more durable than foam that is sprayed continuously to manage odors and at the end of each work day. Portland cement is mixed in to help it set up faster and increase the effectiveness of the spray.
- Perimeter misters - Mist generators are installed along perimeter fences for use as needed. Misters cannot be used during freezing temperatures.
- Plastic poly sheeting - When appropriate and safe for workers, plastic sheeting is used to cover stockpiles. Sand bags will be used to secure the plastic sheeting.

The client who sits across from you is despondent. It's coming up on the anniversary date of his lover's death, a death that was both a tragedy and a relief. Two years of unsuccessful treatments for a progressively painful cancer had been agony for them both. His partner died on what would have been their 23rd anniversary. They had loved each other and built a life. Your client is still grieving. He wonders if he can go on. He thinks that life without his partner isn't worth living.
You worry. If you send this man home, will he make a suicide attempt or will the hour with you have been successful in moving him another step forward in the grieving process? Should you send him to the emergency room or make an appointment for the same time next week? What if you make the wrong call?
It's impossible to do clinical work without at some point in our career having to face the possibility that a client will commit suicide.
Suicide is on the rise in the U.S. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, more than 41,000 suicides were reported in 2013. That same year, 2.7 million adults (ages 18 and older) made suicide plans and 1.3 million made a serious attempt. 494,169 people visited a hospital for injuries because of self-harm behavior, suggesting that approximately 12 people harm themselves.
Most chilling to my thinking about my own responsibility in these cases is that 45% of those who die of suicide talked to a mental health provider within a month of their death .
Whether you are a new therapist, new to private practice or have years of experience, if you work alone, the presentation of suicidality can be daunting. There is no supervisor on call. You can't walk the individual down the hall to the clinic crisis team. The prescriber may be on the other side of town and unreachable. You and your client are on your own.
And yet, you, like most clinicians, are probably inadequately prepared to treat the suicidal client. Few graduate programs in counseling psychology include more than a few hours of training in suicide prevention, assessment and treatment.
In a 2012 report by an American Association of Suicidology Task Force, the authors found that only about half of students in accredited psychology programs received any training at all in suicide prevention. Further, only 2% of accredited counselor education programs and 6% of accredited marriage and family therapy programs offered a suicide-specific course in their curriculum.
Our job, as clinicians, is to provide support and to do everything we can to prevent a client from self harm and self destruction. If you are one of the thousands of clinicians whose training for suicidality was limited to a mention in a class or two, do take care of your patients and yourself by taking charge of your own education.

Pluggable Transports: Improve method of transferring parameters to client-side transports

|Actual Points:
|Parent ID:
Currently, client-side pluggable transports (like scramblesuit) that need parameters (like shared-secrets, etc.) are supposed to get them through the SOCKS protocol. Specifically, Tor is supposed to shove the shared-secret in the username/password fields of the SOCKS handshake.
Apart from the solution being ugly and super hacky it also imposes a size limit to our parameters, since SOCKS5 has a maximum length of 512 bytes of username/password (#9163). SOCKS5 is needed since it's the only SOCKS version that officially supports IPv6.
As a more permanent solution than #9163 we should think of how to improve this situation. At least three ways come in mind:
a) We use the reserved
METHOD field of the SOCKS protocol to define our own authentication method (see section 3 of http://csocks.altervista.org/rfc/rfc1928.txt). Then we use this new authentication method to pass parameters to pluggable transports.
This seems cleaner than before, but we still piggyback on the authentication mechanism (which means that if we ever wanted to password protect obfsproxy's SOCKS listener we can't) so it's not perfect. Also many libraries might not support reserved authentication methods, which means that some monkey patching will be needed.
b) We design and specify our own SOCKS protocol. SOCKS kinda sucks for PTs anyway (#7153). I don't like this idea, because I don't like homebrewed protocols and it will require significant specification/development efforts to replace all the current uses of SOCKS in PTs.
c) We write yet another metadata protocol that happens after SOCKS but before application-layer data is transferred to obfsproxy. It's the equivalent of Extended ORPort for the client-side, and it might be useful for other information apart from client-side parameters. I don't like this solution either.
d) We define an environment varialbe similar to
TOR_PT_SERVER_TRANSPORT_OPTIONS but for the client-side. Unfortunately, the client-side parameters are dynamic (parameters are different for different destination addresses) so the environment variable will also need to include the destination bridge address along with the parameter. Furthermore, if we ever wanted to make parameters completely dynamic (so that they change after Tor startup) this solution might complicate matters. Still this is not terribly bad (since we already parse env vars and we already do something similar on the server side), but it's not good either.

e) We make
socks4a one of the possible
CMETHOD SOCKS types (along with the existing
socks4 and
socks5), and pass IPv6 addresses as if they were host names. Benefits: works with IPv6 (like
socks5) and has unlimited credentials length (like
socks4). Another benefit: would allow Tor to pass host names to pluggable transports (currently it always pre-resolves names that you put in a
Bridge line).
Downside: it's not safe for PTs to advertise
socks4a unless they know that the tor they are talking to supports it. So we'd either have to bump
or (better) make a new variable
whose default value would be
socks4,socks5. The nice thing about this is that PTs only need to implement SOCKS4a. If they get
socks4a in
TOR_PT_CMETHOD_PROXY_TYPES (new tor), then they send
socks4a in their
CMETHOD lines. Otherwise (old tor), they send
socks4, for which their SOCKS4a code also suffices.
This idea is actually how I assumed tor worked when I added SOCKS to goptlib. (I thought that
socks4 was really SOCKS4a, but I was wrong.)

As long as Tor ignores the DSTIP field in the PT->Tor socks response, then this would work. I don't see Tor needing the remote IP for anything, but I haven't given it massive amounts of thought (Maybe if we allow name resolution it could do something with it?).
Personally I'm in favor of "a" since it will:
- Support binary data
- Be backwards compatible (The only failure case is PTs that require extended config with an old Tor, but ALL currently deployed Tor binaries can't use such PTs regardless of auth method anyway)
- Still allow password protecting the SOCKS endpoint (though only for clients that support the extension auth method, so new PT + old Tor = no passwords for you)
Something like:
METHOD - 0x80 (Reserved range is 0x80-0xFE) Fields common to RFC 1929 have the same values/definitions. +-----+------+----------+------+----------+--------+------------+ | VER | ULEN | UNAME | PLEN | PASSWD | EXTLEN | EXTDATA | +-----+------+----------+------+----------+--------+------------+ | 1 | 1 | 1 to 255 | 1 | 1 to 255 | 2 | 0 to 65535 | +-----+------+----------+------+----------+--------+------------+ VER: 0x01 (Also in RFC 1929, but this is our auth method version) EXTLEN: Length of EXTDATA in network byte order (64k is enough for anybody?) EXTDATA: PT specific per-endpoint configuration data
Possible changes:
- Change EXTLEN/EXTDATA to Key/Value pairs (NR_EXTDATA, KLEN, KEY, VLEN, VAL, ...)
- If it is conceivable that PTs will use more that 64k of per bridge config information, then EXTLEN could be 4 bytes. I would hate to see the bridgeline for such a transport though.

I like your approach Yawning. We will also need to define what happens if Tor wants to do the 0x80
SOCKS PT method but it's not sure whether the PT supports it. We will probably need to define a
TOR_PT_CMETHOD_PROXY_TYPES environment variable like David suggested (and the PT will have to advertise
socks5pt support or something). I guess this is not too bad but not too good either.
I'm also thinking on whether
EXTDATA needs to be
(NR_EXTDATA, KLEN, KEY, VLEN, VAL, ...). To be honest, I think it's fine as it is (opaque towards the extra data).
David I also like your idea about SOCKSv4a. I think I slightly prefer the SOCKS5PT avenue because it seems a bit less hacky (we don't use SOCKSv4a in unspecified ways) and we also don't clog the SOCKS username/password method (which might be useful in the future). I think the implementation effort is pretty much the same for both approaches. It's also worth noting that SOCKS5 supports domain names on the CONNECT method.

We do? The SOCKS5 protocol negotiates, so this all is transparent.
With a Tor that supports our extension:
Tor->PT: 0x05 0x03 0x00 0x02 0x80 (SOCKSv5, 3 auth methods, None, Username/Password, Tor Extended)
Ext capable PT->Tor: 0x05 0x80 (SOCKSv5, we will use 0x80)
Old or argument less PT->Tor: 0x05 0x02 (SOCKSv5, we will use Username/Password)
Tor can them make the decision as to if the PT can be used. IMO doing it on a per bridge basis when the relevant bridge is actually used is preferable, but it can be done via the pt config protocol by having the PT declare itself as "socks5pt". I don't see a reason for another env var in any case, Tor binaries that support the extension can and should just request the method as needed.
Something like (somewhere deep in the guts of Tor):
- If authentication is required, request auth 0x80 (We've coded ourselves into a corner wrt using Username/Password for actual auth since it would break backward compatibility).
- If the bridge line has 0 arguments, request auth 0x00 (None required)
- If the bridge line has arguments that fit into the old style config space, request auth 0x02 and 0x80 (Either works, this should allow old PTs to continue to work unless their SOCKS5 implementation is garbage).
- If the bridge line has arguments that requires the extended space, request auth 0x80.
After some thought our auth method should probably allow ULEN/PLEN fields to be 0 (with UNAME/PASSWD omitted, instead of requiring at least 1 byte). I just blindly cribbed those fields from the RFC, but requiring them is somewhat nonsensical for our common use case.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a mounting fashion in the current legal ambience. Parties in dispute are encouraged to exercise methods of ADR to effort to determine their claims before they proceed to adjudication, arbitration or litigation.
Although in the UK the local courts have informed parties that they ought to always try ADR before going to trial unless there is a very good reason not to, otherwise the Court or Tribunals will make costs orders not in favour of those parties who refused or mistreated an invitation to enter into ADR.
Mediation is the largely renowned structure of ADR and you may have experienced or heard of mediation law in domestic and international construction disputes.
Mediation is accessible to parties either before or during court or arbitration proceedings. The mediator is a facilitator and does not need to reach a decision on the merits of the case, he or she only seeks to assist the parties to reach a peaceful solutions.
The mediation process is completely voluntary, meaning that if the parties agree to it then it is often a good suggestion that they wish to decide matters without the need for a trial or arbitration.
The Benefits of Mediation
At Construction Project our expert building and construction dispute lawyers are keen advocates of the mediation route and there are numerous benefits of our local mediation services such as:
- It saves significant time
- It is less taxing and more suitable than taking a construction matter to court or arbitration
- It saves on legal fees by not going to arbitration or trial
Our partner's mission at Construction Project is to put together excellence legal services easy to get to for everyone and mediation is just fundamental important and cost effective options they suggest to our clients.

Living in Perth and Kinross
Perth and Kinross encompasses some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland, while still being accessible and well serviced with local facilities. Perth, Scotland's newest city, is the area's hub, providing culture, shopping, leisure and nightlife.
In the surrounding area, there's world class fishing, walking routes ranging from marked forest trails to lofty treks in the mountains, great cycling routes both on and off road, numerous adventure sports facilities and an unsurpassed range of golf courses to satisfy all abilities, including 2014 Ryder Cup host Gleneagles.
Perth and Kinross receives a consistently high ranking in quality of life surveys. The area is renowned for its thriving cultural scene, which includes venues such as the fantastic Perth Concert Hall (Scotland's newest) and Pitlochry Festival Theatre. The area boasts one of Scotland's, and the UK's, strongest events portfolios. Major sporting event such as the Johnnie Walker Golf Championships, Blair Castle International Horse Trials and the Etape Caledonia sit alongside high profile cultural events like Rewind to ensure there is always an exciting annual events calendar here. The City of Perth is bidding for 2021 City of Culture status.
The area has one of the fastest growing school age populations in Scotland with 100 new primary places needed per annum. Another brand new secondary school is being built in Perth to complement the existing four, and more than 25% of all school children in the area are educated at one of six state-of-the-art community campuses. These beautifully designed campuses offer a superb new learning environment, as well as high quality community facilities such as libraries, sports hall, dance and drama studios and conference space.
The area's property market is very diverse, offering a mix of old and new and increasingly, a combination of the two is seen in imaginative conversions of old mills, steadings, churches and farm buildings, all of which can be found in and around popular towns and villages such as Blairgowrie, Crieff, Kinross, Scone, Auchterarder and Pitlochry. In outlying areas there's an abundance of one-off properties, many with land. At the other end of the scale, the City of Perth offers urban die-hards everything from quaint stone built cottages to impressive period mansions, listed conversions, townhouses, modern apartments and executive developments.

A court worker was knifed in the chest by a drunken street yob.
Raymond Wandless lunged at 56-year-old Joseph Barrow with a lock knife in Killingworth.
Mr Barrow, a warrants officer with North Tyneside magistrates' court, was making his last call of the day when he was confronted by teenagers swigging from cans of lager.
One threw a paving slab at him and Wandless pounced as Mr Barrow began walking away.
In a statement read to Newcastle Crown Court, Mr Barrow said: "Without uttering a word he seemed to punch me on the left side of my chest with his right hand.
"I immediately felt my shirt becoming wet and a warm sensation on my chest where I had been struck. It dawned on me I had been stabbed and not punched.
"I was frightened. I feared for my safety and I must admit I feared for my life."
Wandless, 18, of Garth 22, Killingworth, was sent to a young offenders institution for five years after admitting wounding with intent.

Can anyone help me with furniture for my 2 bedroom apartment all I have is one bed and a table. I need everything. Can anyone point me in the direction of cheap decent furniture?
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
On Craigslist, you can search under For Sale > free > and see if there are any free furniture or inexpensive furniture you could purchase.
If you live near a Goodwill Outlet (you will find inexpensive furniture). I also see toward the end/beginning of the month a lot of apartments/condos people move in & out and leave stuff behind in the garbage.
You do not say where you live but if you live in the US there are many places to search. Just remember, You will most likely have to have help to load and unload and also some type of transportation to haul your pieces home.
Go to curbs the day before garbage day. You can also look on Freecycle or Craigslist.
My favourite two places for free stuff is Craigslist.org and Nextdoor.com. They both have free stuff sections!
also do not overlook facebook buy sell trade groups. They have them in every area
i personally love curbside pickup. You fid amazing things especially if you go to either a posh neighbourhood before trash day (especially in spring) or to a college student area at the end of semesters. I have found stuff for free in perfect condition that I eitehr sold for a profit or that I use to this day
also on craigslist go to the FREE section in the buy sell section and look out for posts labeled CURB ALERT. A lot of these will even post a list of pictures of the sorts of things you can get. Ive gotten 2 bookshelves this way

It takes an average of 34 days to fill a job, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. And the bulk of that time is spent placing ads, reviewing resumes and scheduling interviews. Yet many companies struggle with the hiring process because of the vast amount of information that's required to make informed decisions. If you own a company or are a corporate human resources manager, consider using some of these tips to streamline your hiring process.
Get to know the needs of the key hiring managers in your company. Meet with them and discuss their hiring demands for each quarter so you can get the position approved in advance. Ask managers to write and submit one job description for each job to avoid changing the qualifications and receiving a mixture of applicants with difference experience levels.
Forget about trying to advertise on all job sites. Pick a couple that suit your needs and stick with them. Some of the largest sites are CareerBuilder, Indeed, Monster and Simply Hired. Employing fewer sites will better help you gauge the response levels and qualifications of applications. Drop those sites that don't meet your needs and try other ones. But stick to just a couple of them.
Collaborate with managers to develop testing tools for selecting the best candidates. This will eliminate those who are less qualified and leave you with the cream of the crop. Examples include behavior/psychological tests for insurance sales applicants or written assignments for copywriters. Once you have the results, use a business instant messenger to apprise the candidates you choose. This service also keeps hiring managers in the loop and reduces the chance of losing high quality applicants to your competitors.
Use a two-step application approach. Start with an abbreviated version where applicants provide their names, email addresses and copies of their resumes. After reviewing the resumes, only invite those who are qualified to apply through the longer version. That's where they will attach their resume, fill out the application and complete the typical hiring questions such as ethnic background, veteran and disability status. This two-step approach reduces the number of applications you need to review.
If you start employing some of these techniques, you will eliminate many of the headaches that befall companies when they're ready to hire. Reorganize your recruiting staff as needed to better implement these tools.

Sharafi, P., Hadi, M. N. & Teh, L. H. (2013). A novel formulation for optimum conceptual design of buildings of rectangular shapes. Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural And Environmental Engineering Computing United Kingdom: Civil-Comp Press.
In many optimum design cases, we look for a set of design variables selected from a given list which assure the optimum of objective function together with satisfaction of the constraints. That is, optimum conceptual design mostly consists of selecting the best combination of a finite number of structural elements and the available parameters. In this paper a novel technique is presented for the conceptual design optimization of framed buildings with a rectangular plan. The method supports all the buildings with grid pattern column layout. To that end, we take advantage of the knapsack problem as a basic applied combinatorial optimization problem. The objective is to find a rectangular column layout of maximum profit for the frames that also satisfy the imposed geometric constraints. The method is presented in a general form and is not confined to optimization under a certain type of action effect and/or geometrical constraints. It gives the methodology the ability of being formulated for various objective functions and constraints and different structural systems. Civil-Comp Press, 2013.

NBC News anchor Matt Lauer is under major scrutiny the day after he chaired a forum involving presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Lauer's role at the Wednesday night forum was to both moderate and conduct back-to-back live interviews with the two candidates about issues important to the American public. The general consensus online is that Lauer tossed Trump allegedly "easy" questions to answer, while Clinton was grilled, especially about her usage of a private email server.
READ MORE: Hillary Clinton slams Donald Trump as 'totally unqualified' to be president
Many people also point out that Lauer failed to address Trump's claim that he had previously opposed the war in Iraq, something that pundits say is false, but the Republican candidate keeps insisting is true. According to The Associated Press, there is a 2002 TV interview where Trump vocally supports the war.
An NBC executive spoke anonymously to CNN, calling Lauer's appearance a "disaster."
Social-media users, too, including President Obama's speechwriter, were quick to criticize — and outright attack — Lauer on his performance. The hashtag "#LaueringTheBar" was trending on Twitter Wednesday night.
Lauer, trying to find humour in his situation, made a knowing reference during an interview with comic Dana Carvey on Thursday.
WATCH: Hillary Clinton lashed out at Donald Trump for remarks he made Wednesday night about his plan to sack high-ranking U.S. military generals if elected president.
Carvey, on NBC's Today, was impersonating Russian leader Vladimir Putin and commended Lauer for his work on the previous evening's national security forum. "You have a fan," Carvey, as Putin, said.
"One," replied Lauer, holding up his index finger.
Lauer's NBC colleague, Lester Holt, is scheduled to moderate the first debate between the candidates on Sept. 26.

Pearson gets new Safdie terminal
The Story
Canada's busiest airport is being totally rebuilt, and Moshe Safdie is one of the lead architects. The goal? To create a building that is distinctive yet actually works. With 30 million passengers expected to pass through each year, efficiency is crucial. The grand opening is still months away, yet officials want to be sure the building works for the people who will be using it... before they start using it. CBC got a sneak preview of the new terminal along with hundreds of volunteer "passengers."
Program: The National
Broadcast Date: Dec. 1, 2003
Guests: Kerry Demeda, Lloyd McComb, Anne Poroniuk, Paul Ritchi, Carol Smiciklas
Host: Peter Mansbridge
Reporter: Dan Bjarnason
Duration: 13:39
Did You know?
• The new terminal is a 10-year, $4.4 billion project.
• The first phase of this three-phase project opened in April 2004. Phase II is scheduled for completion in 2006 and Phase III in 2009.
• The new Pearson terminal is one of the largest private construction projects in Canadian history.
• The project will use enough steel to build three Eiffel Towers, and enough concrete to build a two CN Towers.
• The design team is made up of Moshe Safdie and Associates with Skidmore Owings & Merrill International Ltd. (SOM) and Adamson Associates Architects. Collectively this consortium is called Airport Architects Canada.
• Moshe Safdie and David Childs of SOM are the lead design architects for the project.
• Safdie and Childs both worked on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, though they worked on separate terminals.
• As of 2004, Moshe Safdie and Associates is working on, or in the process of competing for, many significant projects. These include the Khalsa Heritage Memorial in Punjab, India; the United States Institute of Peace headquarters in Washington, D.C.; the Connecticut Center for Science and Exploration; the Boston Museum; and the National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel, to name a few.
• Safdie's firm is one of two shortlisted for a museum and performing arts complex on New York's World Trade Center site.

We are used to perceiving famous historical figures and even events at the particular age or during the particular period of time when they became famous. When renowned people are concerned, it's hard to believe that they were once young (or, conversely, old), occupied with purely trivial things, or in a different profession.
WeGoRo decided to find surprising historical pictures that show well-known people or events. Let's look at them from a completely different angle.
Freud believed that dogs are able to recognize the true mood of a person like no one else, and they also help you to relax. That's why he allowed his chow, Jofi, to attend his therapy sessions.
Both actors died on movie sets: the father at the age of 32 during the making of The Game of Death, and the son at 28 years old on the set of The Crow.
These are the brilliant artist's youngest children: Claude and Paloma Picasso. As quick-tempered as his father, Claude now heads the Picasso Administration, and eccentric Paloma is a famous jewelry designer and heads her own perfume empire.
Here Mother Teresa is still called Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, and she is only 13 years old.
It's impossible to imagine that this is the same person.
Aren't they handsome?
Fyodor Dostoevsky is 42 years old here, and Leo Tolstoy is 26.
Initially, Hitler, like Stalin, wore a voluminous mustache. They say it covered the ugly slit of his mouth. But later he was ordered to trim his mustache because he couldn't wear a gas mask with it.
Hitler's role in WWI was not so remarkable as in WWII: he was just a common soldier with a funny mustache. His fellow soldiers spoke of him as an excellent and brave soldier. In October 1918, he was temporarily blinded by a British gas shell and was hospitalized. While in the hospital, Hitler learned of Germany's defeat, which was a great shock to him... You know what happened next.
This photo's origin is still argued about. One version is that this shot, together with several others, was produced just after the end of WWI in order to raise funds to help Armenian Genocide survivors. This photo is meant to depict a Turk official taunting Armenian children with bread.
On August 6, 1945, the US Army dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, thus ending the war against Japan. The entire city was destroyed, thousands of people were killed, and those who survived suffered from radiation injuries.
On the one hand, this picture is fake. On the other hand, it's an amusing example of photo editing before Photoshop. And it has a story to tell. In fact, giant grasshoppers were popular subjects for postcards during the 1930s when grasshoppers were a common pest.

Ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi) seed is also known as Ajwain seed, Bishop's Weed, Ethiopian Cumin, Omam, or Carom and is a popular spice in southern Indian style cooking. It has a flavour faintly reminiscent of thyme; a similarity due to the presence of the essential oil thymol in both species.
The plant is mainly cultivated in modern Iran and in Northern India. Rajasthan produced about 55% of India's total output in 2006 apparently.
Ajowan seeds are used in Asian cooking, breads, biscuits, savoury pastries, and especially in bean dishes. This spice closely resembles the Lovage seed. The greyish-green seeds are striped and curved (similar to cumin or caraway seeds in appearance) and are often to be found with a fine silk stalk attached. The seeds are frequently chewed on their own for their medicinal value, tasting bitingly hot and bitter and leaving the tongue numb for a while. Cooking Ajowan mellows it somewhat,. The fruit seeds are rarely eaten raw except for medicinal purposes so they are most commonly dry roasted to release their fragrance and oil which mellows them or they are fried in ghee ( clarified butter) This allows the spice to develop a more subtle and complex set of aromas. In traditional Indian cuisine Ajowan is often part of a tadka which is a mixture of spices fried in oil or butter, which is then used to add flavour to lentil dishes. In Northern India, Pakistan and Afghanistan the seeds are sprinkled over bread and biscuits. Be prudent if experimenting with them as a small amount goes a long, long way and too much can completely overwhelm your final dish.
Here's a cough remedy using Ajowan seed that I have tried and found firstly effective and secondly delicious...
Ajowan Milk Cough Remedy
This drink helps soothe a sore throat and lift a chesty cough.
Half a teaspoon of Ajowan seed 2 teaspoons of sugar or honey is better and to taste A very generous pinch ( half a teaspoon of turmeric) I mug of milk
Heat the milk as if you were making a hot milky drink and dissolve the sugar or homey in the warm mixture. Dry roast the Ajowan seed in a separate pan. You will smell the thymol being released as the seeds brown but be careful not to burn them - you are just lightly dry roasting them. Add the turmeric powder and stior together with the dry roasted ajowan seed for a minute or so.
Ajowan seeds contain an essential oil which is about 50% thymol which is a strong germicide, anti-spasmodic and fungicide, the principal medicinal use of the seed. It is an antiflatulent (a polite way of saying that it helps you to pass wind) because it helps reduce the gas produced by our guts when eating legumes (something this editor can testify to!) . Thymol is also used in toothpaste and perfumery. It is used in a steeped liquid form against diarrhoea and flatulence.
In India the seeds are used as a household remedy for indigestion and colic and general upset stomach or intestinal cramps. The seeds are crushed and then used in poultices to relieve asthma and arthritis. It also has a reputation as possessing aphrodisiac properties and the Ananga Ranga prescribes it for increasing a husband's enjoyment in his middle years!

It's tough to run a woodworking business. It takes hard work and plenty of dedication to educate yourself in the art of woodworking. This piece can help. Among this wide ranging advice, use the tips that help you the most.
A great tool for setting crosscut guides is a stair gauge. All you need to do is affix them to a square and then affirm that it is set as you would like the angles to be. Then use a pencil to mark the notches. If you put them on the same tongue of your carpenter's square, the combination that you can make will be a great circular saw crosscut guide.
Be certain you know what your budget is able to handle. You don't want to start on a project and then realize you don't have the money to finish. You start your project with great enthusiasm, but you run out of money half way through. Crunch the numbers before you start, so that you avoid unwanted shocks.
Try out some gel stain next time you are staining furniture items. Gels stains seem to hold onto the lumber better where liquid stains have the tendency to run when applied. Gel stains also allow for consistent color on pieces since it is thicker.
Refrain from putting your fingers near your cut. Instead, use a piece of scrap wood to safely push the lumber through your table saw. That means you get to keep your fingers, which means you get to keep woodworking.
Use tin snips to trim laminate for your projects. Tin snips are going to let you cut your laminate quickly and without much effort so that you can use it. Make sure that you designate tin snips to be used for laminate cutting only, as cutting other things with the tin snips will affect their sharpness.
If your door hinges are loose, you can use a golf tee to fix them. Just take the door off the hinges and tap the golf tee into the offending screw hole. Cut the extra golf tee off and install the door again. The screw can bite into the tee.
Do you want to tighten a screw but don't have space to fit the screwdriver and your hand? The answer is in your toolbox. Use a screwdriver with a long handle and 12 points. Just put your screwdriver into the socket and use your ratchet to get the job done.
Safety comes first when using a table saw. If you are crosscutting, use a clamped block to mark the cut length. This is preferable over utilizing the fence alone, as it prevents the board from springing back. Using the clamping method will still leave the board end free for cutting.
Turn your yard into an oasis through woodworking. Consider building a bird feeder, or maybe a deck. The birds you attract should keep the insects from bugging you while you relax and plan out your next project. Use your deck to help you meet clients. By doing this, you may find clients dying to buy your next woodworking project!
When you are just starting out, get woodworking kits. You can make specific projects because the wood is pre-cut. This helps you learn all of the basics up front. Practicing in this way is a good way to prevent waste resulting from newbie errors.
Keep your eyes peeled for furniture others are putting in the trash. Many free wooden pieces of furniture can be had free, or dirt cheap. Think about the possibilities before you dismiss anything. When you find a piece which is falling apart, consider which parts can be reused.
Avoid keeping all your power tool cords plugged in at the same time. Take the extra time to plug and unplug tools you're using. This simple safety tip can prevent electrocution and tripping hazards.
You have to be patient. Many people begin working on a woodworking endeavor only to see it not coming out as they had planned. The finished piece is in that wood, you just have to let it out. Practicing patience will keep you focused. Soon, the project will be complete.
Use pen and paper to plan what wood pieces you'll need or use. By writing your plans down and thinking things over, you can ensure your budget remains in control and you do not waste any wood. Knowing everything you need will make the process more efficient. Planning ahead will see things moving along more smoothly.
Some power tools are essential for woodworking projects. If these tools are something you don't have already, then you will need to go out and buy a drill, power sander, small table saw, jigsaw and a circular saw. An orbital sander may be the best option, but any type of power sander will do the job.
It is possible to make customized sanding blocks. Just cut wood into the shape and size you are needing to do the project. Tape the sandpaper on the block with adhesive. This will give you an optimal sized sanding block.
Purchase tools of good quality. Tools that are of low-quality often break. While you will spend more initially, buying a high-quality set of tools now will ensure that they will last a long time, even possibly for life. You end up saving a lot of money in the end.
Inspect each piece of wood for nails and screws before cutting. Even with new lumber this is important to make sure you don't have an accident. It can also be joined by bands which have been attached by staples.
Create a woodworking shop that is cost efficient and practical. You want some room so that you can freely move around. Keep some walking space between machines. Space is imperative when setting up your shop. Plus, having room to move around means your shop is safer.
As stated in the beginning of the article, having a woodworking business that performs well requires a tremendous amount of skill and hard work. It is vital that you learn all you can on these strategies so that you can be successful in your woodworking projects. Utilize all the knowledge provided here in order to succeed in woodworking.

My Car Smells Funny
Reader Question
Dear Honest Mechanic, I have 2 questions.
1. A new car gives off no smell from running(being on). The more a car is used,the more miles it has on it, the more car smells come from the RUNNING of the car.
When you turn the ignition on, you can smell it.people buy car air fresheners to cover this smell. I am talking about cars that have NO muffler/exhaust problems.What is coming into the passenger compartment of the car from it running that makes the smell?
2. How long is a rear main seal supposed to last? thank u so much 4 offering to help.
Hey there Deb
Is there an oil leak or a coolant/antifreeze leak? If the heater core is leaking antifreeze there will be a sweet odor inside the vehicle, the windows tend to fog up inside, the radiator will be low on coolant, and the carpet on the passenger floor under the dash will be wet and slick feeling due to the coolant leaking inside the vehicle.
Oil leaks are the same way, except they will leak oil on the outside on the hot engine. Usually produces smoke around the leak when the engine is hot and you will see the oil leak on the ground or on the engine itself.
I have seen a few times a plastic bag that was on the road gets stuck to the hot exhaust system under the vehicle. This plastic burns and produces a smell that can be smelled inside the vehicle. You can have a fast lube place check for oil leaks and if a plastic bag has melted itself to the exhaust system.
On your second question, I have never replaced one on my personal vehicles….so it just depends. I have seen many cars with 200,000 miles and still have the original rear main seal with no problems. I have also seen leaks with 20,000 miles.
