Andreea nos guie através 3 menos usado estratégias para aumentar o engajamento de comércio eletrônico, e temos a certeza de que você vai reunir descobertas cruciais fora esta peça cheia de pensamentos e idéias marcantes. Gosto de ler!
To engage your audience and make your webshop's visitors interact with your website and take profitable actions – buy products, download content, subscribe to newsletters – it's no longer enough to just create content.
The e-commerce world is deluged with blog articles, e-books and cheat sheets, static product descriptions and pictures and plain infographics. These types of content do have their role in the big content marketing picture, but if your goal right now is to engage your visitors and turn them into brand ambassadors, or make them spread the word about your products, you need more than static or passive content. And here's where interactive content comes in.
1. Interactive content
Como seu nome implica, interactive content is supposed to keep your visitors hooked and encourage them to interact with your website. This means more time spent on page, more fun for them and a higher probability for visitors to share your content with their friends. Surveys, polls, quizzes, testes de, galleries, calculators, jogos, interactive white papers and infographics, brackets or interactive videos are different types of interactive content you can embed in your e-commerce website to increase visitors' engagement.
Com certeza, you don't have to add all these types of content to your store; just pick the ones that fit your webshop's theme and goals and are aligned with your brand's voice and message. The key is not to test all the different types of content, but to make your visitors feel they're part of the story, show them that you care and want them to enjoy their virtual shopping experience, and encourage them to buy or take another profitable action (subscribe, share, refer a friend).
Interactive content captures the attention of visitors and allows them to explore different scenarios and personalize their shopping experience. It's a great way to find out more about your audience and their preferences.
Here are some widgets you can use for creating interactive content for your e-commerce website:
- Image zoom widget: this widget is perfect for fashion websites as it allows visitors to take a closer look at your products.
- Description dots: this widget allows you to create beautiful collections of items and add descriptive hotspots to each item, indicating the price, nome, collection, brand or any other information you find useful for potential customers.
- Accordion gallery: I'm sure you've seen these beautiful accordion banners or galleries before; they're excellent for e-commerce webshops that sell multiple types or categories of products and want to display more of them on the main page, but without using classic (e chato) static banners.
- Before and after: my personal favorite widget, this allows you to creatively display the results a client can expect by using your products. It's an inspired choice for make-up e-commerce websites, for webshops selling cleaning products, interior design items or dietary supplements.
- FAQ accordion: if you sell products that are difficult to use or require detailed instructions, a FAQ accordion is an easy way to educate your audience and address the pain points they hope to solve with your products.
Keep in mind that product pages should sell benefits, not features, as visitors want to know how your products are helping them solve certain problems. This principle applies to all categories of products, even to those that don't seem to solve any real life issue, and the widgets above help you sell through storytelling. They allow you to create a story in which the visitor is the hero, and the product is the reward, so we could easily call these types of content interactive storytelling tools.
2. Commercial intent product descriptions
Brian Dean from Backlinko considers commercial intent keywords more important than search volume for website owners trying to optimize their pages for traffic and conversions. And it actually makes sense: if your goal is to sell, you need to attract visitors who are interested in or ready to buy, so your content should be written around commercial intent keywords instead of purely informational keywords.
These terms can be included in the metatitles and metadescriptions of your product pages, as well as in the short or long descriptions that appear on the product pages and are seen by potential customers. A lot of webshop owners make the mistake of using only product keywords (search terms that focus on categories or brand names) when writing their descriptions. These are important and can attract a lot of visitors, but they serve a different level of the sales funnel.
Take a look at the graph below: this is a classical sales funnel that shows why someone visits a website and what he or she hopes to find there, based on their search queries. A broad search indicates that the visitor is just searching for information and is not ready to buy, while a focused or an exact search shows that the visitor is interested in the product and wants to buy it.
Figure1: http://www.ecommercemvp.com/what-keywords-mean-and-how-to-find-them/
O content you create for the top of the funnel (TOFU) can be informational, as its main goal is to generate traffic, so you can include product keywords, as well as search terms like "cheap", "review", "best", "comparison" in this content. No entanto, when creating content for an ecommerce website, you should not treat the product pages as part of the TOFU, as they belong to the bottom of the funnel (BOFU). A blog article or a landing page dedicated to a specific category of products can be included in the TOFU, but the main goal of the product page (and implicitly of the content on the product page) is to close the deal, to sell the product, so all the content should be written with this goal in mind.
You can think of the sales funnel as a keywords funnel that starts with informational keywords at the bottom, and ends with commercial intent keywords at the top. A search query like "Samsonite spinners" fits the TOFU, while "buy Samsonite online" is perfect for the bottom of the funnel, as it shows the visitor's intention to close the deal.Figure2: http://www.netsurfmarketing.com/keyword_research_analysis.html
Agora, you may say you don't want your product descriptions to sound too salesy, and I totally agree! Even if your purpose is to sell a product, you should write in a natural tone and instead of pushing the sale, you should focus on answering potential questions and on showing how that product can solve a specific problem of your potential customers. Por exemplo, someone who is searching for Samsonite trolleys may want to purchase a brand travel bag that not only looks nice, but is lightweight, spacious, comfortable and resistant. So your product descriptions should address these pain points and highlight those characteristics that make the trolleys you sell the perfect choice for your visitors.
Obviamente, even if you include a lot of commercial intent keywords in your product descriptions, your content will still attract visitors in the awareness or consideration stages, but you can solve this problem and help them make their mind and close the deal by incorporating product reviews from real customers in the product pages.
What are some examples of commercial intent keywords? Search queries that include terms like "buy", "offer", "discount", "deal", "coupon", "sale", "buy [product/brand] online", but also less obvious terms like "free shipping" or "outlet". When creating the product descriptions, try to initiate a conversation with the visitor instead of focusing only on your business goal. Instead of describing the products in a distant and objective manner and asking your visitors to click the "Buy" button, use the commercial intent keywords strategically and create a text that engages them and highlights the value offered by the product.
Matthew Woodward believes having keywords with intent is also a boost for the SEO of your ecommerce store.
TIP: You can use commercial intent keywords on your home page for displaying the top deals, descontos, best sellers, or limited time offers. Scarcity is a powerful trigger for sales, so use this opportunity to motivate your visitors to buy by making them believe they're about to lose out on something great.
3. Reward or loyalty programs with social media integration
The typical approach, used by most e-commerce websites, is to reward their customers with loyalty points for each purchase they make, or to ask them to share and comment on social if they want to enter a contest and win a reward. The problem with these strategies is that in lots of cases one has to spend a lot of money in order to earn a significant amount of loyalty points and be able to get something valuable from the loyalty store. Or they simply don't want to share that contest on their profile, although they would like to enter and win the prize.
In such cases, a more effective approach could be to reward the customers with loyalty points for every social share. Word of mouth and reviews can be powerful marketing tools, and offering loyalty points in exchange of reviews or for spreading the word about a contest can be a win-win solution. So the next time you create a campaign to promote a new product or collection, or to sell some items that aren't performing that well, offer your customers the chance to get a discount or earn loyalty points with a tweet or Facebook share.
Make them an offer that is irresistible and offer them something valuable. If they have to spend $2500 on your webshop in order to earn 250 loyalty points to buy a dress or a phone from your loyalty program, no one will want to join your reward system. But if you allow your visitors to earn loyalty points by sharing on social or posting reviews, and they realize they actually have a chance to earn those 250 loyalty points faster and easier, without spending a fortune, they may become interested in your reward system.
Keep in mind that the ultimate goal of this approach is to engage your audience and turn your customers into brand ambassadors. If you want them to love you, you have to show some love first.
Creating an engaged user base in e-commerce is crucial when we consider the importance of retenção de.
Another retention booster in e-commerce is offering consistently preços competitivos to keep your customers loyal to you, by making a mark in their mark as a company offering the best deals online.
To achieve that status, you better monitor online prices closely, and to do that at its best, Você precisa automação.
Prisync can automatically monitor your competitor prices for you and can help you remain both competitive and profitable.

Two men in Pennsylvania were charged with theft after credit cards from a stolen purses was used. Around 1 p.m. on July 26, in Bellwood near Main Street, a woman reported that her purse had been stolen. According to the woman, the window in her car had been broken and her purse taken while she was inside a restaurant. Nearly an hour later, a purse was taken from another parked car, this one off West 10th Street in Tyrone.
Two men in a white Dodge Caravan were reported to the police. One of the men was allegedly seen taking the stolen property out of the vehicle on 10th St. After police were able to obtain surveillance footage, a bulletin was sent out. Approximately an hour and 20 minutes later, a credit card from one of the stolen purses was used.
By 4:30 p.m., less than four hours after the first purse reported stolen, the police had both men in custody. The two men involved were a 32-year-old Altoona man and a 17 year old. The Altoona man allegedly confessed, and he was charged with a variety of theft related charges, including theft from a motor vehicle and theft by unlawful taking. Charges against the 17-year-old are forthcoming, and he has been released to his mother.
While theft charges may not always carry heavy sentences, any conviction that results in a criminal record is a serious charge. A criminal defense attorney's job is to provide the best defense they can for their client. Even after an individual has confessed, it may be possible to get an acquittal. A defense attorney can move to suppress the confession if it was obtained in an illegal way or if the defendant wasn't properly informed of his rights beforehand.

Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time with her works outsold only by Shakespeare and the Bible. She is regarded by generations of fans as the greatest mystery writer ever, and her novels are read and cherished the world over.
Clarissa, the young wife of a Foreign Office Diplomat, delights in tweaking the sensibilities of her more serious friends and for playing a game she calls "supposing" - imagining a difficult situation and figuring out how people would respond. But Clarissa's lighthearted game becomes deadly serious when she discovers the dead body of an unknown person in her own drawing room. If that wasn't bad enough, her husband is on the way home with an important foreign politician and the attendant scandal of the dead body would irrevocably damage his career at the very least. Therefore, Clarissa decides to dispose of the body and persuades her three houseguests to help.
But before she can get the body off the premises, a policeman arrives at her front door. The police received an anonymous tip about a murder in the house and have shown up to investigate. Now Clarissa must keep the body hidden, convince the skeptical police inspector that there has been no murder, and, in the meantime, find out who has been murdered, why, and what the body is doing in her house.
Originally written by Agatha Christie as a play in 1954, now rendered as a novel by Charles Osborne, Spider's Web is a compelling tale of murder and deceit sure to entertain and amuse the legions of Christie's fans worldwide.
Author Notes
One of the most successful and beloved writer of mystery stories, Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie was born in 1890 in Torquay, County Devon, England. She wrote her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1920, launching a literary career that spanned decades. In her lifetime, she authored 79 crime novels and a short story collection, 19 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language with another billion in 44 foreign languages. Some of her most famous titles include Murder on the Orient Express, Mystery of the Blue Train, And Then There Were None, 13 at Dinner and The Sittaford Mystery.
Noted for clever and surprising twists of plot, many of Christie's mysteries feature two unconventional fictional detectives named Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple. Poirot, in particular, plays the hero of many of her works, including the classic, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926), and Curtain (1975), one of her last works in which the famed detective dies.
Over the years, her travels took her to the Middle East where she met noted English archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan. They married in 1930. Christie accompanied Mallowan on annual expeditions to Iraq and Syria, which served as material for Murder in Mesopotamia (1930), Death on the Nile (1937), and Appointment with Death (1938).
Christie's credits also include the plays, The Mousetrap and Witness for the Prosecution (1953; film 1957). Christie received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for 1954-1955 for Witness. She was also named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1971.
Christie died in 1976.

Reviews 2
Booklist Review
Like a martini--crisp, dry, sophisticated, habit-forming, ever-so-slightly dated--Christite's smoothly polished mysteries go down easy. This one was written as a stage play, first performed in 1958, and is here adapted into novel form by Osborne, who last year published a novelization of Christie's Black Coffee [BKL Jl 98]. Like Christie's endlessly running Mousetrap, the plot here is full of twists around a single room, with people who are not what they seem. Michael Starkwedder's car runs into a ditch in Wales in the fog, and when he opens the French doors of the nearest house he finds an attractive woman with a gun in her hand, and the very dead corpse of her husband in a wheelchair in the same room. Mentally deficient relatives, loyal and twisted servants, patient inspectors, family secrets, and dramatic dialogue will satisfy all devotees of Christie's neat plotting, even without either Poirot or Marple. Ready for the beach or the fireside. --GraceAnne A. DeCandido
Publisher's Weekly Review
As he did with Black Coffee (1998), Osborne has taken one of Christie's original play scripts and turned it into a (slight) novel. For those who can't see the play in production or who find a script dull or difficult reading, Osborne's adaptation may fill a need. But Osborne has added little flesh to the bones of the drama, which, with its single-room setting, absolutely retains the feel of a play merely masquerading as a novel rather than transformed into one. That's not all bad, as this novelization preserves the lightning-quick pace of the original. Christie's play had its premiere in 1958, yet remains undated by the passing years. When a stranger having car trouble at night on a lonely road enters a house through the French windows of its study, he finds an invalid who has been shot dead and a woman (his wife) standing nearby and holding a gun. Apparently on impulse, the stranger decides to help the woman hide her crime. Those two plus a small castÄthe victim's mother; the victim's teenage half-brother; his housekeeper/secretary; and his male nurseÄparade kaleidoscopically in and out of the study with two investigating police officers. Christie cleverly shifts suspicion and parcels out new facts and perspectives in marvelous fashion, proving ingeniously that the obvious isn't always obvious. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Being a smoker moderates (increases) the positive effect of
evoked guilt on the belief that secondhand smoke is harmful to children.
As the warning on a cigarette package becomes more graphic,
evoked guilt and disgust increase.
Being a smoker moderates (increases) the positive effect that
level of grahicness has on evoked guilt and disgust.
The purpose of the article was to determine if the emotions
of fear, disgust, and guilt evoked by varying levels of graphic health warnings
on cigarette packages affect smoker and non-smoker personal consideration of
smoking and the harmfulness of secondhand smoke to children.
"Results show that perceived graphicness of the visual
warning positively affects guilt and disgust and that smoking status increases the
positive effect of perceived graphicness for smokers. Evoked fear and guilt
also interact with smoking status to strengthen the positive influence of these
"These results suggest, that in addition to fear, appeals to
evoke guilt and disgust might be effective themes in anti-smoking campaigns
aimed at adolescents experimenting with smoking (e.g., for possible use in
FDA's "The Real Cost" campaign)."
MethodWe studied 349 adolescents (145 classified as current
smokers and 204 as non-mokers) using a survey experimental design with
graphicness at low, medium, and high levels. Based on these levels of
graphicness, we assessed its effect on evoking three negative emotions (fear,
guilt, and disgust) and the degree to which these emotions interacted with
being a smoker versus a non-moker in affecting personal consideration of smoking
and the belief that secondhand smoke is harmful to children.
FindingsThe perceived graphic level of the warning increases the
negative emotions of fear, guilt, and disgust. Furthermore, fear and guilt interact
with smoking status to strengthen the positive influence of these emotions on
current smokers' consideration of smoking. Also, smoking status moderates the
effects of fear and guilt by strengthening smokers' belief that secondhand smoke
is harmful to children We also find a
direct effect of perceived graphicness on the smoking consideration measures
that is not fully mediated by the evoked emotions.
ImplicationsBy evoking guilt and disgust in combination with fear, graphic
health warnings may become more effective in anti-smoking campaigns geared at
adolescents. Specifically, our results suggest that these emotions might be
effective themes in anti-smoking campaigns aimed at adolescents experimenting
with smoking (e.g., for possible use in FDA's "The Real Cost" campaign).
Similarly, extending our findings to other vulnerable populations (e.g., low
literacy, low income) and other tobacco products (e.g., e-cigarettes, chewing
tobacco, hookah) would be relevant
future studies.

High-profile celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Halle Berry are not afraid to pledge their allegiance to Obama; these starlets have been spotted regularly wearing Obama tee shirts.
Heidi Montag has declared that she will vote for McCain, but she does it more subtly with a gold necklace. Election-savvy fashion is popping up everywhere.
Implications - Part of the reason why Obama's campaign did so well was the fact that he and his team knew how to use social media. The famous celebrities that backed him up also helped his campaign become so successful because people look up to those celebrities and take their opinions into consideration. Businesses should see the immense opportunity that exists for those who score the perfect endorsement.

A relation is in first normal form if the domain of each attributes contains only atomic values and value of each attribute contains only a single value from that hand.
#Eliminate duplicative columns from the same table
#Create separate table for each group of related data and identify each row with unique column(primary key)
A table is in 2NF if and only if it is in 1NF and no non prime attribute is dependent on any proper subset of any candidate key of the table
for example
R(A,B,C,D) is relation with AB as the candidate key and B->C as the only functional dependency then the relation is not in 2NF as C is dependent on B (the proper subset of candidate key AB)
A table is in 3NF if and only if it is in 2NF and Every non prime attribute is non transitively dependent (i.e. directly dependent on every superkey of R)
In other words
For every non trivial Functional Dependency (X-> A) satisfied by R at least one of the following condition is true
a. X is a superkey for R or
b. A is a key atrribute of R
Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF)
A relation schema R is in BCNF if and only if for every one of its dependencies X->Y at least one of the following condition hold
a. X -> Y is trivial Functiona Dependency (Y is subset of X) or
b X is a superkey for schema R.
Few points
a. All relations with only two attributes are in BCNF.
b. For any relation schema, there is a dependency preserving decomposition in 3NF
c. BCNF, 3NF, 4NF – all normal forms produces lossless join decomposition for any relation schema.
d. If there are no functional dependencies present then the relational will automatically in BCNF.

Underinsurance platform teams with CGU to offer adviser revenue
- 12 August, 2008 01:10

According to Saropa co-founder Rob Corben, Saropa allows advisers to share in the 14 billion dollar annual general and commercial insurance market for minimal effort and no large capital outlay.

'With market fluctuations unsettling some investors, Saropa provides advisers with an additional - and positive - benefit for clients,' said Corben. 'Saropa strengthens client relationships by offering a possessions tracking and disaster recovery service under the adviser's brand - effectively increasing client switching barriers,' said Corben.

'Additionally, the integrated CGU quoting system can provide referral fee income to the adviser. We envisage an adviser with 200 clients or more can potentially achieve a ROI in a matter of months - all for an annual cost that is less than attending a two-day conference!' stated Corben.

The Saropa solution is available now as a hosted service with registration by phone, fax or email. Advisers pay a low annual fee and can be live just 24 hours after registration.

'Underinsurance is a big problem in Australia and unfortunately many people don't realise this until it's too late,' Cameron Watson, National Manager Affinity Groups at CGU Insurance said.

'We recognise the significant role that customer education and raising awareness of the risks can play in combating the problem. Reducing the risk of underinsurance by tracking the value of assets against policy value will help ease this problem and the potential anguish should you need to make a claim on your policy.'

'It's vitally important for everyone to check their level of insurance every year and consider the impact that purchases have on their insurance – without this regular insurance health check, you will soon find that your insurance policy does not cover your assets,' he said.

The Saropa solution visually displays underinsurance alerts so insurance policies can be adjusted proactively to combat underinsurance.

Further information and solution demonstrations are available online at www.saropa.com.au

About the Saropa solution

Launched in January 2008, the next-generation Saropa solution can help protect what's precious to Australians - be it possessions, personally significant photos, house, car, property or important documents. It provides a secure, remote repository for vital personal data if a disaster occurs, enabling the retrieval of information such as insurance policy details, detailed contents listing and vital documents. It can also help to identify underinsurance situations and alert users so a course of action can be taken prior to any claim situation.

Where would fashion be now without vintage? Designers are obsessed with recreating what's been done in other decades and we constantly take reference from the past to design and create new concepts.
I have spent the whole day doing one of my favourite things in this world, visiting vintage shops in Bricklane and Camden, the previous day I went to Dalston and over the two days I have seriously scrutinised each of them, from the layout to the merchandising and the stock.
For a few years now I have been going to St. Cyr Vintage at Camden stables market , and still to this date I praise and love it. The owner, Jessica Warnes, has excellent taste and knowledge in antiques and fashion, which is very obvious when you visit her shop.
The Merchandising
The shop has a lovely contrast of a black and white 60's print wallpaper against the pink door and bookshelves.
Every single corner of St. Cyr is very well thought out and beautifully arranged, there are sections for every category of clothing, shoes, gloves, scarves, hats, bags, suitcases, jewellery and fashion magazines and books. Jessica has immaculate attention to detail, from gorgeous 1930's and 1950's dresses suspended from the ceiling to the five cabinets full of gorgeous jewellery, one of them displaying a pair of Dior circa 1980's clip on earrings and 1950's cat eye sunglasses.
The fact that all the stock is always tidy and well-organized makes it very easy to shop and spot great pieces.
The product
There are items from the 1930's to 1980's, most of it is in great condition and cleaned.
The dresses, coats and shoes collections are immense for the size of the shop and the jewellery selection is incredibly good which, sometimes makes it hard because there is so much choice.
I love the product and the prices even more, for its quality and condition everything is quite reasonable if not cheaper than most vintage shops I have been to, specially for the decade some of these items are from.
If you are a vintage lover like I am head to Camden and visit this truly awesome shop.

"And sow fields and plant vineyards,
That they may yield a fruitful harvest." -- Psalm 107:37
No one explores and describes management culture, practices, and attitudes better than Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter. She often captures subtle insights that are invisible even to those who employ successful methods. SuperCorp is one of her very best books of this type, capturing the emerging trends of global companies that do well to attract and retain talent, acquire and build on other enterprises, innovate, and inspire people to do their best. The book builds on hundreds of interviews over three years in fifteen companies. The detailed stories of how each company (the book emphasizes Banco Real, Cemex, IBM, Omron, Procter & Gamble, Publicis Groupe, and Shinhan Financial Group with occasional insights into a few other companies, two of which were acquired by the focus companies) bring the observations to life.
This is a particularly good time to study emerging and successful global leaders. The leaders who seek to build stronger multinational ties are stretched particularly thin right now, and new Web-based technologies suggest new ways to integrate globally. As Professor Kanter observes, the current best practices are a transitional model . . . but one worth understanding.
The book focuses first on the organizational glue that social purposes and public values bring to large organizations that are spread thin around the globe. The stories are compelling, but my impression is that this perspective isn't terribly new. I remember hearing similar stories built around disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fire, and so forth) dating back into the 1950s connected to the largest American companies. In every decade since then, I have run into new stories of this type. I suspect that good neighborliness has long been a value in many well-run companies, but wasn't always highly visible unless you were looking for it.
I found the book's description of methods involved in encouraging the internal spread of best practices within the organization, the ways that acquisitions are integrated, and ways of developing bottom of the pyramid businesses to be more novel and interesting. Most of these practices I have only seen since about the 1980s, and they are not as frequently employed.
A major theme of this book is creating agile companies that rapidly achieve successful business model innovations. I agree that building a culture that provides a psychological incentive to do so is a good idea. Setting good examples in business model innovation and encouraging skill development are also important, but those aspects were not emphasized as much in these case histories. That was a missed opportunity. IBM and Procter & Gamble, for example, have done a great deal to make continuing business model innovation successful at many different organizational levels and in many different activities, much of which was not described in the book.
It would be good to update this book about every ten years or so to capture the evolution of the leadership and management principles and practices involved. I look forward to reading many such updates from Professor Kanter.

The Healing Of America
Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Jan 10, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: America needs to be healed and God has provided the plan.
II Chron. 7:14
INTRO.- I love America! Don't you? And let me tell you why I love America.
ILL.- Father: Why don't you get yourself a job?
Son: Why?
Father: So you could earn some money.
Son: Why?
Father: So you could put some money in the bank and earn some interest.
Son: Why?
Father: So that when you're old you can use the money in your bank account and you would never have to work again.
Son: BUT I'M NOT WORKING NOW!
Brethren, I love America because where else in the world can you live and not work?
That's not the real reason why I love America but that's probably why some people love America. Because they have found they can live off the government.
ILL.- One lady said to another, "Did you see how pleased Mrs. Smith looked when I told her she didn't look a day older than her daughter?"
Her friend replied, "Why no, I didn't notice Mrs. Smith. I WAS TOO BUSY WATCHING THE EXPRESSION ON HER DAUGHTER'S FACE."
That's why I love America. Where else but in America can a mother make herself look as young as her daughter? Or perhaps younger!
ILL.- An executive came home from work and slumped down in his favorite chair with a discouraged look on his face. His wife asked him what was wrong.
He said, "Well, you know those aptitude tests we've giving at the office? I took one today just for fun. And it's a good thing I own the company!"
Where else but in American can the owner of a company be dumber than his employees? That's why I love America!
ILL.- Someone else put it this way: Where else but in America do we make instant coffee and yet spend hours drinking it?
Where else but in America does it take more brains to fill out the income tax return than it does to make the income?
Where else but in America does a mother drive her three kids 4 blocks to a physical fitness center?
Brethren, I do love America, but these are not the real reasons why. But let me quickly give you some reasons why I do love America and then talk about the healing of America.
1- I love America because of our FREEDOM
ILL.- Since 1984 I have traveled to the following cities to attend the North American Christian
Convention: Atlanta, Georgia...Oklahoma City, OK...
Denver, Colorado....Cincinnati, Ohio....Louisville,
KY....Orlando, Florida....St. Louis, MO...Dallas,
TX....Indianapolis, Indiana. And probably several more
which I can't remember.
I haven't been out of the U.S. but I've also been to Duluth, MN, several times to run a marathon for 26 miles alongside Lake Superior, and I've been to Boston, MA to run that marathon. And when I was a child my parents took me to Disney Land in California, and I remember absolutely nothing about it!
Other people have been to many more places in the U.S. than I have. ALL I AM SAYING IS THIS:
Isn't our freedom to travel anywhere in the U.S.
without a passport a wonderful blessing!
Also, think of all the other freedoms that we have: freedom of speech, freedom to live wherever we want, freedom to seek any occuption we want, freedom to worship as we please! Thank God for our freedom in the America!
2- I love America because of our FORTUNE I know, you're thinking, "What fortune?"
I am not saying that I have made a fortune in America, but some people certainly have: Multi-billionaire Bill Gates, Sam Walton, Martha Stewart, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey, and hundreds of others have made a fortune in the U.S.A.
Where else in the world can you can make a fortune if you really set on your mind to it and go for it? No other country in the world offers such an opportunity as America does!
3- I love America because of our FUN
Did you ever stop to think how many fun things are available in our country? In the U.S. you can do
so many fun things, such as: Six Flags (that wouldn't be fun for me, but it would for some), Disney World, Branson, Las Vegas, the World Series, the Super Bowl, you can also visit Hollywood, go to the beaches, and hundreds of other things to do or sites to see.
And our fun doesn't stop with seeing certain cities or sites! Our fun includes all kinds of things that
people like to do: hunting, fishing, bowling, gardening, going shopping, playing tennis, playing ball, etc.
Where else but in America can you do all these things and have a blast doing them? No other country in the world offers such a great diversity of fun things to do!
4- I love America because of our FOOD

Jaguar considered Canadian plant before opting for 'low-cost' country
Jaguar Land Rover Ltd. officials took a close look at Canada as the location for a new assembly plant – including visiting a potential site in Windsor, Ont. – but the company is now planning to locate the factory in a low-cost country.
The latest failure to land a new auto plant, which would have been an investment by an auto maker not already building vehicles in Canada, stings more than recent decisions by global car companies to locate in Mexico, sources familiar with the Canadian effort said. That's because Jaguar Land Rover appeared to be seriously considering the Canadian bid, unlike investments in Mexico by Audi AG, BMW AG and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., where Canada was not on the radar screen.
I suppose rising hydro costs had nuthin to do with it…
Ontario has a low corporate tax rate, our "socialized medicine" used to be considered a competitive advantage to potential employers, we do have a skilled work force.
What could be the problem? It makes no sense to give away the farm as Mexico does.

Caretaker manager John Carver has just named his side for the game at Chelsea this afternoon and the four players injured last week at Leicester have all magically recovered this week.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Branislav Ivanovic, Kurt Zouma, John Terry (c), Cesar Azpilicueta; Nemanja Matic Cesc Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Eden Hazard; Diego Costa
Substitutes: Thibaut Courtois, Filipe Luis, Gary Cahill, John Obi Mikel, Ramires, Loic Remy, Didier Drogba
Newcastle (4-3-3): Tim Krul; Daryl Janmaat, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini (c), Paul Dummett; Moussa Sissoko, Vurnon Anita, Jack Colback; Remy Cabella, Ayoze Perez, Yoan Gouffran
Substitutes: Freddie Woodman, Davide Santon, Massadio Haidara, Haris Vuckic, Sammy Ameobi, Adam Armstrong, Emmanuel Riviere
Referee: Roger East (Wiltshire)
Freddie Woodman is on the bench so we assume Jak Alnwick must be injured, and there are seven changes from the side that started last week in the FA Cup 3rd round.
What's that about Newcastle not caring about the Cup competitions?
Mike Williamson keeps his place in central defense and Paul Dummett is at left back, so Davide Santon is on the bench for the game today.
It's a 4-3-3 formation with Cabella, Perez and Gouffran up front, and Manu Riviere is relegated to the bench.
And it's good to see Sammy Ameobi on the bench again, having recovered from his knee injury.
Newcastle have won four of the last six games against Chelsea – and John Carver knows that – this is what John has said about the game today:
"We've got a good record against Chelsea and I've got to use that as a huge positive." "We're going up against one of the best sides in the Premier League, if not Europe, and one of the best managers."
"It will be great standing in the technical area next to him (Mourinho)." "I'm going to take it in my stride and I'm going to enjoy it but I want to win. Whatever means it may take, I'll do my best."
Not many Newcastle fans are expecting to get much out of this game today, although it would be a real shock if we do come away from London with something this afternoon.
Howay The Lads!!

Willo should not be playin, I'd rather have dummet with haidara left back
Cabella should not be starting, he's struggling to handle the physicality of the premiership, and carver decides to put him up against one of the strongest physical teams in the league. Last 20 mins or half an hour yes, not not starting.
anita is the same, only reason he's starting is nobody else. Abeid injuried, not sure about tioti, seems to be injuried aswel
And Carver proves once again why he shouldnt be allowed anywhere near the team.
Same as Pardew, both clearly clueless
Willo again, Dummet LB which he isnt with 2 LBs on the bench, Gouffran again so entire left side offers nothing so all will depend on Janmaat again.
Hopeless fool, you would think knowing how Pardew was disliked, if he really wants the job then he should have come in with his own ideas and not just repeating the same crap we have had.
oh dear might aswell have pardew in charge still.
willo and collo together. on super6 i put 5-0 chelsea. why play gouffran if ameobis available? against burnley why play haidara left wing and put him on bench this time? why not keep continuity and play haidara instead of gouffran?
why not do something different to pardew carver if you want the job?
Does anyone think Carver can outsmart Mourinho? I doubt he could outsmart a 5 year old to be honest.
His best option would have been implementing his own ideas/ formations/ players and gaining the element of surprise (beginners luck), but he looks like he's just trying to keep it the way it was. A clear sign he has no ideas of his own.
mag 52 – there is a distinct difference in an ordinary worker doing what the boss says in ordinary employment spheres as opposed to trying to make an analogy with a football owner and football manager.
What about Percy saying he did not agree with banning the press – but surprise surprise his signature is on the banning letter.
I do not accept the suspicion that you perhaps think Percy was a victim.
The Nuremburg Defence surely does not apply -" I vas only acting under orders".

Spring Tune-up Tips
The word "Tune-up" can mean different things to different people. Maybe it means simply changing sparkplugs, checking filters, and scanning for codes. It could also mean that everything from charging system analysis to injector flushing is done. This type of tune-up costs much more, but the benefits are higher, too. Those extra tune-up procedures can save money in fuel costs or extend the life of the vehicle, and maybe do both. Tune-ups can cost money, but at the price of fuel today, even a slight improvement in fuel economy will repay your tune-up costs quickly. If you're looking for more spring tune-up tips, try this great blog by the Canadian Automotive and Trucking Institute. It contains some very useful information on oil change, tire pressure, testing your car battery, replacing your wiper blades and more. Those tips will help you and your vehicle transition smoothly and safely from winter to spring.
"Winter driving usually means a lot of idle time for our vehicles. Extended warm-up times and slower commutes because of poor road conditions can take their toll on them. Exhaust systems don't heat up. Moisture rusts them from the inside out. Brake calipers have corroded slides, causing brakes to drag and tires to wear. All of these problem areas need to be checked. Many garages will advertise spring tune-ups specials, but if you end up getting a professionalto do the work for you, make sure to check exactly what the repair shop will do during the tune-up."

Here's a cool hat: Boobers Cap. It's from OOZANKUU, which is the maybe name for the product line from artsy nu-video art team The Great Nordic Sword Fights. It's a clean white little thing with a design that is Picasso with access to Microsoft Paint™.
While Boober may not be a person and said personhood doesn't matter for the sake of coolness, the design of him is a 3D stitched .png on a very blank canvas. The back of the hat has an exclaimed name of the makers—OOZANKUU—and you will feel like you are wearing a part of Tumblr that no one knew existed yet. Knowing the work of TGNSF, this is a great bundling of their aesthetic done in a way that is only a quiet peep of style. There's so little going on yet bunches going on. You could even call it maximalist minimalism or minimalist maximalism.
You can see the wearer of this hat. They are fashionable. They could wear only Goodwill or they could wear only Opening Ceremony. They could be that asshole with mini Bo Derek braids or the type of person with greased down hair in need of a net to compress it onto the head. Boober is kind of a catch all. Whoever they are, the Boob wants to be the hat you wave to everyone you meet as they judge you.
I am buying one and you can too: it's only $32. It goes to support great LA artists who are branching out into nu-media. OOZANKUU yourself, dudes.

Whilst i'm not sure whether to have this scp as a designed machine, like scp 914 or have it as a paranormal object (like a washing machine or something)
When an object is placed in the machine it is "Halved" Not literally cut into two pieces, but two objects which would each represent a physical half of the object. A computer is output as two calculators, a two pound coin is output as two one pound coins, etc. Of course for my eventual final draft, I will have more interesting tests, these are just examples. (Think how a person would be output)
Like it? or should I try something else for my first scp?
Whilst i'm not sure whether to have this scp as a designed machine, like scp 914 or have it as a paranormal object (like a washing machine or something)
Didn't SCP 914 have that ability too? If you put it on rough or very rough it came out with a lesser version or worse.
Addendum: 5/14: Dr. █████ Test Log Input: 1kg of steel (setting: Rough) Output: Pile of steel chunks of various sizes, appearing to be cut by laser.
I think it could stand separate from SCP-914 - your idea seems to involve a certain value judgement of the item and providing 'change' in the form of two items jointly of equal value. The fridge horror - if you wanted to go that route - would presumably come from what the object considers two items each worth half of a D-Class subject. The only note of caution would be to try and include some hook that expains why the object does what it does, rather than just being a long list of outputted items cf. 914.
I was thinking the machine "Makes" the item perform a similar process to Mitosis. Not sure just yet, and I was thinking D class be two people of half age with half IQ and half temperament? I dont think its very interesting though.
Could make it something that merges objects together to improve them. E.G: Two medical items go in for completely different diseases. The SCP merges them so they do the job of both and always works. using humans it takes the superior genes from each and merges them to make perfection.
And then you'd have a magic item bordering on Mary Sue levels of power.

My little daughter is poorly tonight so that's made me think I shouldn't go too - Sunday is looking like a better day (although I won't get out till the afternoon then) and having run Sunday and Tuesday this week I'm not actually due to run till then........but I can't shake this feeling of letting myself and my Pops down. Man, sometimes this running bug sucks

Social media campaign can swing 3%-4% of votes, and that can change history!
The social media users in urban India reaches approximately 86 million in October 2013, and 91 million by December 2013, according to the report 'Social Media in India – 2013' by the Internet and Mobile Association Of India (IAMAI) and IMRB. Social media users are expected to grow by 19% between June and December 2013. The report also says that 19.8 million users, use mobile phones to access social media platforms in urban India.
Social media is a treasure-trove of information and it provides this information on a highly accessible and interactive platform. It can be used for generating awareness in any field. We can use social media innovatively for elections by creating standardized messages, spreading it through various channels viz., facebook, twitter, wechat, youtube, google+ etc. Information becomes highly accessible for the masses via social media
It is also reported by Mobile Association Of India (IAMAI) that the highest proportion of social media usage in the top four metro cities & the non metros was among the demographic segment "Young Men" with 30% and 26% penetration levels respectively. Interestingly, the report finds that younger women are increasingly using social media, whereas, in the other metros & small metros, "College Going Students" show the highest proportion of social media usage. "Working Women" demographic segment is observed as having the lowest proportion of social media usage in other, small & non-metros whereas they show a moderate proportion of social media usage in the top four metros.
So can social media be a game changer in the forth coming elections…. ??
A study by research group IRIS Knowledge Foundation and the IAMAI, says that social media can have a "high impact" on approximately 160 of the 543 constituencies in the next election, and that no contestant should ignore this medium. The study said 316 constituencies will have something from "low" to "no impact".
"I don't call it a game changer, but an accelerator in this election … it's definitely setting a narrative, it is influencing a lot of people," says Arvind Gupta, head of the BJP's IT division, in an interview
"I think it can be a game influencer, but I wouldn't go beyond that at this stage … social media happens to offer an additional way, not a substitute for any of the traditional means of campaigning," says Tharoor, one of the active Twitter users in Indian politics
How do we inspire and mobilize India's youth innovatively to vote in the Indian General Elections 2014 using social mobile apps?
There is a need to sensitize society on the significance and benefits of voting and effectively utilizing the voting rights. There is a need to identify the gaps. We have a need to find out how innovatively and effectively we can use social media as a vote mobilizing mechanism. There is a need to build a more informed, engaged and prepared society
Social media has proven extensively popular in the international elections sphere for example the US of A, Well this is a relatively novel concept in India, but now it cannot be ignored. Mobilizing the youth requires community involvement for which social media can be used in the following innovative ways:
• Information is the key. Social media plays a big role is spreading information. Social responsibility should be taught in school since it is better to catch them young.
• Easy to use online-web based-online interface can be implemented. A unique voter ID, supported by a bio-metric scanning for eg., Iris scanning should enable people to vote from any location. Mobile voting, telephone voting, using internet banking as a portal to voting online, car pooling, voting vans, online absentee voting should be encouraged. The news about the same can be spread using social media.
• We need to provide equal opportunity and accessibility to all citizens by taking advantage of the resources and technology we already have to save money and energy.
• Metric based messaging can be used to spread the above information. Currently, metrics are used to evaluate effectiveness of advertisement/communication services. Social media analytics can be used to track the voting system with demographics. This helps in better understanding of the voting scenario.
• "Social Voting" is a recent approach to voter absenteeism that introduces accountability and incentives into the voting process. 'No excuse' mail-in voting campaigns use existing technology (voter rolls) to encourage people to mail their ballots in. The mail-in ballots technology can be made available for hyper-local tracking of results !
• To evaluate the best options of social media messaging and their impact to fit incentive based effective scenarios. Incentive based, can be something like if an individual goes to vote, he or she will get a 5% cash back on the next purchase at a famous store. Basic amenities like LPG subsidies can be given only to people who have voted.
• Standard inspiring, creative, intriguing slogan templates can be made for each election that can be communicated via the various apps available in social media
• Young people can be inspired to make teasers on you tube and they can be circulated in colleges and among young professionals. The most popular youtube video may be later awarded …
• Free hugs campaign can be run at voting booths :)

Here's The Best Age For Motherhood According To Science
Entering the world of motherhood is every woman's greatest challenge. However, the question many ask is what is the optimal time of becoming a mother. Most mothers would say that there is no perfect time for having a baby and nothing will prepare you for what lies ahead when you face this life challenge.
For many years, the scientific community has been warning women about the risks of getting pregnant at later age.
However, this conventional approach has been recently contested with new evidence. This new evidence focuses on the benefits of having a baby after the age of 35. It has already been proven that if you have a baby after 35, the life expectancy of the baby will increase. Having a new study conducted the scientists at the University of Southern
California came to a conclusion that giving birth after 35 does not only have positive impact on the baby but on the mother as well i.e. having a baby after 35 improves the mother's mental abilities. This conclusion was a result of tests performed on 830 postmenopausal women and showed that women who had their baby at later age gained better verbal memory and cognition.
The reason for this is the surge of hormones – estrogen and progesterone. Namely, it has been found that these hormones have positive effect on the brain chemistry and function among women who had later age pregnancy.
We are quite aware that there are some things which cannot be planned when having a baby but there is much to be said about the life experience a woman has gained as well as about her maturity.
At later age, women are usually professionally and financially settled and they have learnt how to handle stressful situations (having a baby is considered a stressful situation as well). Therefore, even though there are still existing risks associated with having a baby after 35 and can be regarded as a disadvantage, there are also many advantages that need to be carefully taken into account.
Firstly, the mental health of women at later age is usually in better shape than of those who are about to enter adulthood and have not settled professionally in their career yet. This means that younger mothers face more life challenges and worry more about things besides raising a baby than elderly mothers.
Older mothers tend to be more accepting of the newly created situation which gives a sense of calmness and excitement, rather than a sense of worry and anxiety which is common for younger mothers who face more challenges above all in their professional life.
Secondly, the change of hormones due to having a baby has also had incredibly positive influence on older women who face lack of estrogen and progesterone. Thus, women who have a baby later in life often make this decision by choice and embrace the responsibilities of motherhood in a more prepared and organized way.
They are aware of the pregnancy risks but they tend to see their doctor more frequently and pay more attention to their doctor's advice so that they would make sure that their pregnancy is complication free. Unlike younger mothers-to-be who are sometimes less attentive when it comes to following directions and understanding the long-term complications of pregnancy.
Pregnancy is one of the things people cannot predict especially, how it will turn out. There are pros and cons related to pregnancy at any stage of life but it seems that older women might find certain benefit from later life pregnancies especially if they have already become familiar with this process and had children at younger years.
Therefore, all things considered, if you are planning a pregnancy or suddenly find yourself faced with pregnancy at later age, make sure you see you doctor more often and follow his advice on looking after your health as well as the baby's in the best possible way.

For marketing reasons, it was not an option to forgo the mechanical pointer at that time. What was needed was a mechatronic solution with a real pointer that operated in front of the display. To try accomplish the mechatronic solution, displays featuring holes for pointer axes were developed. These no longer had very much in common with simple displays. It was necessary to ensure no leakage of liquid crystal over a broad temperature range, that the display functions reliably as a primary instrument and, last but not least, corresponds to the designer's specifications. With a need for 100,000 units, it was also necessary to guarantee the stability of the production process for this special model. Even today in the age of consumer electronics dominated by displays, there are special requirements for displays destined for the automotive sector. Combined instruments with virtual pointers are not only accepted by the market, but also demanded by the market. Quick liquid crystals and high-quality electronics are required to ensure that the pointer can move fast without wiping. Displays with a high contrast and the corresponding colour depth also enable a modern design that can be adapted to the respective brand and driving situation.Supporting information is fed into the windscreen using light-effective HUD displays and contributes to road safety. The challenges facing manufacturers centre on the very high brightness required to achieve a high-contrast display, even in sunlight. The heat generated through the backlighting requires an absolutely thermally stable display. This is no trivial matter for liquid crystals, a fact that the few global suppliers of HUD LCDs are well aware of an account of long periods of experimentation.Today, there is a clear trend towards the smartphone operating philosophy with touch input in the centre console. However, despite autonomous driving, comfortable and 'blind' operation should also be possible. Automotive displays will require gesture control and haptic feedback in the near future. Kyocera bases the company's development for the next generation of haptic displays on the synergy of its camera production, manufacture of piezo actuators and displays.The first prototypes for haptic feedback are already running. Ceramic piezo elements assembled at the front glass are the actuators for the movement. Due to the exact adjustment capability you get a click feeling by virtual feedback. Also the pressure force can be measured by the piezo features. This allows the user to feel a button and then to press it for action. By using special sequences of vibrations a push button, a piano keyboard, an increment wheel and much more can be programmed without large surface movement. Semi-autonomous driving and fully autonomous driving can only prevail if the driver has the feeling of being in control at any time if needed. To this end, the driver needs to be informed about all processes in and around the vehicle. This information is shown on displays and therefore requires that the display is designed ergonomically and prevents sensory overload. Work is carried out with automotive manufacturers to develop a HMI for the new generation of vehicles. The HMI must consider future marketing aspects, guarantee a high level of safety and be simple to operate. For these reasons alone, automotive display manufacturers need to be able to do more than just build good TFTs. Autonomous drivingFor autonomous driving, data for the display first needs to be captured. For example, a microwave radar sensor can take distance measurements from the vehicle ahead. This allows a driving vehicle to independently maintain the correct distance and initiate an emergency braking manoeuvre if there is any danger. The radar sensor is supported by a camera that monitors the situation and instantly detects unforeseen objects, such as a ball rolling onto the road or a deer. Side-mounted camera modules capture rear traffic and blind spots. Information is also obtained through a network of other road users and stationary traffic control centres via telematics. These sensors are also used for automatic parking, delivering an invaluable advantage to SUVs in narrow car parks in particular. The best thing is that the telematics module can detect and display free parking spaces in advance. The automotive market is expected to continue to grow steadily in both advanced and emerging countries. In addition, it is also expected that the use of electronic components in automobiles will continue to accelerate, with further expansion of related markets such as electronic components and devices. Kyocera is contributing to those developments in a number of ways. For example, its industrial displays with integrated touchscreens act as an interface between man and machine. The company's telematics modules also allow people to communicate with mechanical systems, while its cameras and sensors monitor inventories and the status of systems and products. Electronic control and sensor systems are based on its robust circuit boards.Kyocera is also strong in the manufacturing of TFT LCDs which show bright colours clearly, even in intense sunlight. For eample, the new 10.4-inch XGA (TCG104XGLP) and 12.1-inch XGA (TCG121XGLP) TFT LCD modules feature 1024 x 768 pixel resolution and the latest high-efficiency, long-life LED backlights with brightness ratings of 1300 cd/m² (10.4") and 1200 cd/m² (12.1"). Advanced Wide View (AWV) technology makes it possible to achieve an 85-degree viewing angle in all directions (left, right, top and bottom). The integrated Kyocera LED driver circuit allows backlight operation without the need for additional components. The new TFT LCDs are designed with a standard LVDS interface and offer a wide operating temperature range of -30°C to 80°C, ideal for outdoor applications.

Hello ,
I'm dealing with this:
It works fine, but I want it to display time in 24 hour format, not in AM/PM.
After reading DS1302 datasheet,...
I don't want to eliminate zeros and cause numbers jumping :)
This will effectively increment a 32 bit unsigned value.
When both words contain the values you want, just send to the MAX7219 one after the other as a 32 bit value.
wordlsb var word
Thanks...I was just going off the data sheet that suggests setting the pins as output and bringing them all low.DavyJones - 14th December 2018, 22:42
Once you set the pin to output, the digital/analog mode setting doesn't really matter.
You can output a 1 or 0 with the pin still in analog mode. All that bit does is turn off the digital input...
Ok so I have portb I think configured correctly where RB0 through RB6 are configured as digital for use with my jumpers to control the distance and timing. I will read low if the jumper is connected...DavyJones - 14th December 2018, 19:00
Aaaahhh ok I see that now on page 133 for PBADEN (reset, power on) and notes for PORTB on page 148 for ANSELB
I'm skipping over some reading and that's not good I need to review closer, I'd print...
Also, most of the PORTB pins are dual analog/digital pins. You have to set them to digital mode otherwise they always read '0'.
Either set ANSELB bits = 0 for the ones you want to be digital, or set...
Thanks let me review that again I must have misread that..... I see it now on page 115 thanksDavyJones - 14th December 2018, 00:12
The RBPU bit (INTCON2.7) is low-active, so 0=pullups enabled, 1=pullups disabledtumbleweed - 13th December 2018, 21:59

Kristen Bell poses in a chic black dress on the carpet at the Women In Film 2014 Crystal + Lucy Awards held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on Wednesday (June 11) in Century City, Calif.
The 33-year-old actress presented an award to her Frozen writer/director Jennifer Lee! Frozen, as many probably already know, was a HUGE hit animated film, and has become one of the top selling and grossing films of all time.
"Im quite positive if i worked for the President he would be cool with me calling him "Mr. P" ." Kristen tweeted that day. LOL!
FYI: Kristen is wearing an Alberta Ferretti dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, and Doves by Doron Paloma black onyx and diamond earrings.
10+ pictures inside of Kristen Bell at the awards show…

Here are some better pictures of my pine's new cage.
Him climbing on the branches, he likes to look out the window.
Eating a mouse, a snack. He usually eats medium rats.
My brother in the cage to demonstrate size ^V^
Even with all the room he still prefers to sleep in his old hide box :)
Except for when he decides to sleep in elevated logs.
It's not done, I still have a few more shelves to put up. I also want to get more black tubbing to attache to the walll opposite the corm and around the top of the enclosure to maximize space. I also want to put a few fake plants in there, maybe an old christmas tree or something. He might like to climb and hide in it. And he likes to burrow, so I'm going to fill the middel section with mulch. It'll also cut down the dust from the dirt and keep everything moist. The cage doesn't have much for windows, so i'm going to eventually silicone plexiglass sections to the two side doors. The cage stays nice and warm with the three halogens. Pits make amazing display animals :)

Great looking cage, but how are you going to keep it clean? Wood absorbs everything. I had thought of making a larger cage and still plan to. I think Ill use Plexiglas on the inside so it can be cleaned out. Also the hiding areas made to be removed for easy cleaning. Still its a very cool cage.

thanks for the comment =)
i treated the wood with a few layers of resin before assembling, so it's pretty water tight. although it s particle board, so i know it won't last too well in the long run. i got a lot of insects with the wood and also general insects and spiders deciding the cage was a nice place to live, so i added 2 grass lizards and a house gecko to help keep populations down.
the cage has changed a lot since these pictures, i'll have to add more. I've always wanted to experiment with multi-species vivaria, so this cage was a great opportunity. I've added fresh fir branches for colour, and a few fake grass clumps, as well as more and larger branches. I removed the smaller portion of log so i could open up more ground space. I also added my 5ft female coastal carpet python. ***I have seen people successfully keep pine snakes with rat snakes and other species, so I figured a carpet is similar ecologically to a rat snake. they get a long great and share basking and sleeping spots. the large cage also allows for both humid areas and dry areas to accommodate both species needs*** The lizards have numerous humid places to hide and climb well away from the snakes, who don't even seem to notice them. Today i also added a large tub of water for a filtered pond area which is temporarily housing a red-eared slider. the pine was sitting on the turtles basking area next to the pond for over an hour, I guess he finds it relaxing too XD
one thing I have noticed though, since i added the animals to the cage, neither one has tried to escape when they always tried to escape in their smaller aquariums.

And so far your chief biological concern is... insects. Which you are controlling by adding wild-caught reptiles from two different continents. And, for some reason, a slider.
Great idea. Let's hope nobody ruins it by inventing germ theory.
Meanwhile, sounds great. Go ahead and pour yourself a drink of that clean filtered water.
