360 Degrees May Be Your Best Online Marketing Strategy
When was the last time you used an actual Yellow Pages book? Perhaps the online version? Yesterday, I was inspired by a Yellow Pages ad which featured a "360 degree online marketing strategy." The six aspects of the strategy all directly applied to an online marketing strategy for your job search.
1. YellowPages.com
Job Search Solution: Try using Twellow.com to funnel your search.
2. Site Optimization Solutions
Job Search Solution: Make the most of optimizing your social media profiles. For example, if you are networking on LinkedIn, maximize your visibility by showering your summary and profile with keywords. It is these keywords that make you easier to find by hiring managers and recruiters. And yes, Google does like LinkedIn for site optimization!
Ensure all of your social media platforms are communicating the same professional brand. Use the same keywords, if possible, on your other social media platforms. You want to be visible to potential employers with a clean online identity, as opposed to dishing out "digital dirt," or unsavory online messages. If you tweet or comment on something regarding a potential employer, you may show up prominently in a Google Alert. What a compliment to your professional brand!
3. Mobile Apps
Job Search Solution: Sign-up for mobile apps for your job search. You'll be glad you did. Twitter is often portrayed as a real-time job board. Tweeters can take advantage of job posting apps. Why not increase your accessibility to jobs by signing up for job alerts on your iPhone, Blackberry or mobile phone. The instant a recruiter or employer posts an opportunity, you'll be alerted on your mobile.
Some of my Twitter followers who specialize in this category include:
- @Locita
- @briteapps
- @wiredtweets
4. Digital Media Advice
Job Search Solution: Seek out the sages. Join groups; there's strength in numbers. Especially if you're unemployed, read about the latest trends in your industry. Ask questions, share resources, and swallow your pride by asking for advice on how trump up your digital marketing activities. Set a weekly goal by choosing some new activities. With the current unemployment statistics you cannot afford to dismiss the notion of constantly revamping your digital marketing efforts. Competition is fierce out there!
5. Performance Reports
Job Search Solution: There is no better solidifier than offering a potential employer a testimonial. When I have helped outgoing military members who are transitioning to the civilian world, (based on my personal and professional affiliation to the military), I have suggested they use their PER's or Performance Evaluation Reports for resume writing and interview preparation. Likewise, civilians can use their exemplary performance evaluations to be highlighted in their profiles and resumes. These can be considered testimonials. And speaking of testimonials, use some social media apps such as BranchOut.com to feature powerful endorsements about you. On Facebook, you can use BeKnown.com to highlight your stellar reputation. On LinkedIn, ask for influential contacts to write you a recommendation.
6. Website
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by creating your PURL (personal URL) or web site. There is a plethora of sites to promote your professional brand. Some ideas may include:
- Visualize.me – You can turn your resume into an info-graphic.
- About.me – This is another platform that allows you to promote you. You can see my example here.
- On Twitter, check out @proovn to prove your skills to others.
The concept of 360 degrees has been applied to human resources practices. It is widespread and relies on multiple sources of information and applications. Now's the time to apply your 360 degree digital marketing strategy. "Fortune favors the bold," the ancient Romans said. Wisdom isn't just ancient, it becomes contemporary.

Collapsed disc information
A collapsed disc is a condition that occurs when a disc in the spine simply loses its height, often due to age and the natural wear of the spine over years.
Causes of a collapsed disc
A disc in the spine is comprised of two main parts: a tough, elastic outer layer called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like center called the nucleus pulposus. These two parts work together to keep the disc at the proper height and stability to support the surrounding vertebrae, while allowing for movement and a full range of motion.
However, as years of wear and tear weaken the components of the spine, the discs may also begin to weaken. Often, discs dehydrate with age, causing the fluid in the nucleus to dry up. When this happens, the disc may lose height and collapse — or shrink in size.
A collapsed disc is not necessarily a problem and can often regenerate with certain lifestyle changes, such as drinking more water, stretching and low-impact exercises for weight loss. In some cases, the disc does not repair naturally and may continue to collapse, causing the two surrounding vertebrae to rub against each other. When this happens, a bone spur can form and irritate a nearby nerve, leading to a series of painful symptoms.
Symptoms of a collapsed disc
A collapsed disc can often occur without any symptoms. Unlike a herniated or bulging disc that protrudes outward and risks pinching a nerve, a collapsed disc simply deteriorates inwardly and does not have a high risk of nerve compression.
However, a collapsed disc does cause instability in the spine, which can lead to the development of other spine conditions, such as a bone spur. These conditions could pinch a nerve and cause severe symptoms, such as:
- Pain
- Muscle weakness
- Inability to move certain ways
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Burning sensation
- Sciatica (if condition is in lower back)
Because a collapsed disc is often degenerative in nature, these symptoms can worsen over time if left untreated. If you've been experiencing any of these symptoms over a few weeks and they are gradually increasing in severity, you should schedule an appointment with your doctor to determine your best course of action for treatment.
Diagnosing a collapsed disc
A collapsed disc is sometimes difficult to diagnose because the symptoms could be related to another degenerative spine condition, as mentioned above. Your doctor will most likely use a physical exam and imaging test, such as an MRI or CT scan, to determine if a collapsed disc is the cause of your pain.
During the physical exam, your doctor will press into areas of your spine and the associated nerve pathways to determine the location of your pain. This will also help your doctor determine if your symptoms have traveled to other areas along your nerve pathways. For example, a pinched nerve in the lower back can send symptoms down the buttocks, legs and feet.
Once your doctor locates the root area of your pain, he or she will likely order an imaging test to view that area of the spine and diagnose the cause of your pain. At this point, you will go over treatment options and begin to take steps toward pain relief.
Conservative treatment for a collapsed disc
In some cases, a collapsed disc will regenerate naturally through the resorption process — the process by which the body absorbs any extruded disc material and begins to heal a damaged disc — or through the body's natural healing process. This process usually takes about three months, while the symptoms present during the process can be managed with conservative treatments.
These treatments are designed to help relieve pressure on the pinched nerve near the collapsed disc that is causing your pain and symptoms. In some cases, these treatments can also block pain signals the pinched nerve is sending to the brain, thereby reducing the symptoms felt.
Common conservative treatments for a collapsed disc include:
- Pain medication
- Physical therapy
- Yoga and stretching
- Weight loss
- Corticosteroid injections
If after three months you have not experienced a significant decrease in your symptoms, your doctor may recommend a more advanced treatment option: spine surgery.
Spine surgery to treat a collapsed disc
A collapsed disc can be treated through various methods of spine surgery. While all surgical options come with potential risks and benefits, the minimally invasive spine surgery at Laser Spine Institute is an alternative to a highly invasive traditional open neck or back surgery.
During a minimally invasive procedure to treat a collapsed disc, our surgeons use a less than 1-inch incision to reach the spine, avoiding unnecessary muscle disruption and damage. This minimal incision allows our patients to experience a shorter recovery time^ and lower risk of complication than patients who choose traditional open neck or back surgery.
To find out if you are a candidate for one of our minimally invasive procedures, ask for a no-cost MRI review* from our Laser Spine Institute team today. We can help you make the best decision for your collapsed disc treatment.

Kannada superstar Vishnuvardhan, who appeared in more than 220 films over 37 years, passed away in 2009 at the age of 59 due to cardiac arrest. However, as per reports, audiences across south India as well as other parts of the country will have the pleasure of seeing him in the flesh in this week's upcoming release, Kodi Ramakrishna's Shivanagam. The trilingual features the late actor in a 10-minute cameo — one that has been created entirely using CGI.
Barun Kashyap, a creative director with a film agency who sparked controversy in August after claiming that an auto driver had bullied him for using a bag made of cowhide, has now recanted, saying that he spun a web of lies to create communal tension. Reportedly, it was Kashyap's "hatred towards the Hindus" that prompted him to lie.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah are set to participate in Parivartan Yatra, the party's much-hyped election campaign, which is to start next month. Reportedly, Shah would flag off the yatra, while PM Modi would address the Parivartan Sabha in Lucknow on 24 December.
Literary circles cheered in awe on Thursday as musician Bob Dylan won the Nobel Literature Prize for creating new poetic expression within the great American song tradition. This announcement rounded off the Nobel award season for 2016. The announcement was unique this year because the award was for the first time to someone primarily seen as a musician.
Russia and India is set to sign a multi-billion dollar deal for S-400 'Triumf' long-range air defence missile systems on Saturday following talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Goa. India is interested in getting five systems of the most modern air defence system, capable of firing three types of missiles, creating a layered defence, and simultaneously engaging 36 targets. If India signs the deal, it would be the second customer of the prized missile system after China which had struck a $3 billion contract last year.

Inspired by Prime Minister's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, a woman from Kanpur built a toilet by selling her 'mangalsutra'. Latha Diwakar has become an inspiration in the region for taking on her husband aggressively after disclosing that she had sold her mangalsutra for ₹17,000 to complete her goal.
Caesar, a 11-year-old labrador retriever who was the last surviving 26/11 canine hero, died on Thursday. He was covered with the Tricolour and received an emotional farewell from Mumbai's police force. Caesar was the sole survivor among the dogs of the Mumbai Police who took part in bomb detection operations during the 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai
In a horrific incident, a man in Bihar was abducted by five people, thrashed and had his tongue cut off out of an alleged personal vendetta. The victim is a 35-year-old electrician.
Sheer political logic dictates that Dalits look for allies who share their social, political, and material predicament, writes G Sampath in The Hindu. "Today, a confederacy of casteist forces with control over capital and the state apparatus are on one side, and a mass of socially oppressed and economically marginalised are arrayed on the other. The ruling elite, as ever, are conscious of their class interests cutting across caste lines. But the working classes, especially the Dalits and OBCs among them, stand divided into a great number of identities that are locked in mutual antagonisms, designed to ensure that their identity as a class remains buried," he says.
The law and order situation is deteriorating and development work has been badly hit due to financial constraints in Bihar, writes Sushil Kumar Modi in Mint. "When the JD(U)-BJP, coalition came to power in 2005, it was on the promise of providing law and order and development. Once in power, the coalition made efforts to ensure speedy trials of the dons, managed to rein them in and ensure improvement in law and order. But law and order concerns are once again surfacing with the current government. With chief minister Nitish Kumar under pressure from alliance partner RJD, the state government did not assign a senior advocate to fight the cases against Shahabuddin. As a result, Shahabuddin got bail in more than 35 cases in the past few years after junior law officers were assigned to handle the case," he writes
RBI rate cut suggests that it is interested in maintaining the growth momentum, writes Pulin B Nayak in The Indian Express. "Two key factors seem to have contributed to the rationale for the rate cut. First, there has been a fall in retail inflation in August to 5.05 per cent, but secondly, and more importantly, there is the expectation in the coming months of a decline in food prices owing to a reasonably good monsoon in the past Kharif season," he says.

It's Girls' Night tomorrow night!!!! I'm making Panko Crusted Tilapia with New Orleans Red Rice and a salad with oranges and toasted almonds. I've already provided those recipes on earlier posts so check them out. I'm also serving my Cheddar Herb Beer Bread so I'll give you the recipe for that. For dessert, we are having cupcakes and I got a recipe from Martha Stewart's web site. I was disappointed with them - usually her recipes are terrific but these are heavy and have too much fat in them. They are still edible and will be delicious when I fill them with strawberry/raspberry wine-infused jam, ice them in chocolate and top with a fresh raspberry (however, I won't share the recipe).
The beer bread takes about 5 minutes to put together...preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp dried thyme and a pinch of dried dill.
Add 1 to 2 cups of grated Cheddar cheese - depending how cheesy you like it! Stir all the ingredients together and pour in a bottle of beer - I like to use a bottle of the cheapest beer I can find - taste is not an issue here.
The batter should be wet enough to combine all the flour without being so wet that it sticks to the sides of the bowl. You often need to add a little water to achieve this - I added 2 Tbsp of water this time. You can see the consistency below before it is baked in a greased loaf pan.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until it's crusty and brown. This delicious quick bread truly is delicious and quick!

Adobe Flash keeps crashing
This has been happening ever since the latest Adobe Flash update about a week ago.
I have put up with it each time, as it was always when I made a video full screen. But once I refreshed the page and didn't use full screen, it was ok.
But I didn't realise that Ebay's Final Hour Countdown feature is flash based, so it does not work anymore. And THAT is important for snipers like me!
So how do I fix it please?
thank you

Uninstall the flash player, Download the 11.3.300.250 beta 3 from the right side listings of older versions of the page Download Flash Player 11.3.300.257 (Non-IE) 64-bit - FileHippo.com (adobe's pagewill give the recent one only, most probably). Install it.
Keep auto update of flash player stop until the next stable version releases.

Hi Arc,
I uninstalled the latest version and clicked on the version 11.3.300.250 like you said, but when I clicked the download link (top right) I got this page:
I also got the same page for the beta 2 version under it, but was successful with Flash Player 11.3.300.214 Beta 1 (Non-IE) 64-bit.
Will that be ok? Or does it definitely have to be version 11.3.300.250 Beta 3?
Also I was not given an option to stop auto updates. How do I do this please?
thanks a lot

Yes, any working older version will be nice, and including that one you obtained.
The stop auto update option should be there in the installer's window, or in the update pop-up. If the "r300.257 wants to install once again, dont let it to be installed. Skip this version, I guess the next one will be available within a few days.
Very nice to know that your trouble is gone

Sorry I have had to mark this as unsolved again, as it has started happening again.
I looked at Task Manager and there are TWO adobe flash processes running. I don't understand why that is.
And the bigger one is sometimes even overtaking Firefox itself as the number one resource user.
I have not installed another version BTW. I still have version 11.3.300.214 Beta 1 (Non-IE) 64-bit.
I have found this page
Adobe Forums: Flash Player 11.3.300.257 Keeps Crashing On Mozilla Firefox 13
...that shows lots of other people have problems with it. I don't fully inderstand what the Adobe Employee is saying, but from what I can see he is making people jump through an awful lot of hoops - and none are working!
Some of the troubleshooting involves having to register at their site and submit bug reports, but they don't tell you how. They are also suggesting using a different browser. I can understand this from a diagnostic POV but not permanently. That's unacceptable!
It seems to be suggested that the problem exists because there are TWO Flash players on people's systems. But they tell you if you uninstall one, it will uninstall both!!
I'm really confused and fed up!
Any ideas please?
thanks a lot

So this is what it was like today, January 20, 2009, from the perspective of one little drop in the sea of humanity that was right where it wanted to be.
I was up at 6 a.m. and out the door at 7 a.m., the equivalent of a springlet on a hillside miles from the ocean. I found my way to the local Metro station, where I joined a larger flow, first a few others on the street, then a wall of people on the train. On a normal day, it would have been the fullest subway train you ever saw, and when I wedged my way into a person-sized hole near the door. there were a lot of jokes made about how in Japan they employ people to push more in, and how even if I lose my balance, I won't fall.
At each station along the way, there was another throng, and each time we on the train said we couldn't possibly make room for anybody on the platform. At one station, things were so packed on the train that it was getting nervous, and when we gasped at the mob on the platform, somebody cracked us all up by booming out "Yes We Can!"
I got off at Farragut North about 8 and immediately joined a river of people, flowing south and down the hill. We filled six-lane avenues, flowed down sidewalks, and whenever we rounded a corner and looked down the next stretch of road, we gasped at what we were becoming. Crossing the street was like swimming a river, and if you wanted to take a picture, or stop for any reason, you had to get in the leeway of a street sign or vendor truck.
The numbers, the scope, and the flow were amazing, but even more so was the energy! It was happy, joyful, confident, even giddy. We were doing the "Gimme an O ... gimme a B" and then all yelling together, OBAMA! We were waving flags, sporting glitter, taking pictures, strutting our collective stuff as we rounded the corner to the grounds around the great pillar. People were selling bumper stickers, shirts, buttons, posters, hot chocolate, and food. One group was giving away a truckload, quite literally, of free pretzels. Everybody was smiling.
I made for the hill at the base of the monument, to have a look, and the greatest gasp of them all was being let out by everyone who gained that crest. Between us and the Capital Building, which was a mile or more away, was nothing but people. It was a landscape of people. Our springs and creeks of humanity had flowed to the sea, and it was a beautiful sight to behold, with the sun coming up over the monuments and everyone reaching for cameras.
Still flowing, looking for the right place, I made for the south side of the mall, to see if I could get closer. Like water, I sought out the easiest place to go, with no particular thought of a destination. We backed up against tight spots and street crossings, eddied up behind buildings, streamed across the landscape ... and soon realized that nothing we weren't getting past 14th Street. It's hard to put this in perspective, but 14th Street to the Capital is a mile or so, and the mall in that distance is fully 200 yards wide -- and all of that was filled with people. By this point, the crowd felt like a single living thing, and it was saying "No more room up here."
So I made my way back to the Washington Monument, up on the hill. If you were watching on television, this meant I was off on the horizon, a little to your left, and by the time 11 a.m. rolled around, it was so crowded where I was that I couldn't have moved if I wanted to. And while I will probably slip into stereotype, the simple truth is that every sort of person was out there in that crowd. It was like everybody was there, young and old and every color and attitude. Whenever I looked around, or panned across with my camera, others were doing the same, and all of our faces wore the same expression of pure, happy awe. Two million people! All in one place for the same reason.
Up on the jumbotrons, as the ceremony got started, we began to see various political celebs, who got various responses. Clinton, Carter, Gore, and Kerry: big cheers. Cheney not so much, and I got some laughs by saying he was in a wheelchair because he doesn't usually expose himself to sunlight. Bush, of course, got the biggest boos, loud enough to be heard on TV I understand-- and it treats the fucker right, I say. How much damage did little prick do, anyway? Acting nice and showing respect is for the elected, back-scratching fools, but this was our last chance to give him our opinion straight. When he was officially introduced, the folks around me -- and many others, apparently --serenaded him with "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, Goodbye!" A proud American moment, I say.
The ceremony itself is something of a blur, and I look forward to reliving it on TV. I was a long way from a jumbotron, and there was a delay of a couple seconds between the video and the audio. But I remember that Aretha was amazing, though the sound was poor. I remember that when Biden finished his oath, somebody yelled out "That's it for Cheney!"
When it came for Obama, I would imagine something like 500,000 cameras were hoisted into the air. It seemed like there was a screw-up with the oath, but we didn't care. Eight years we waited for somebody else to take that oath, and since November 4th we've been even more excited that Obama would be that man, and we didn't care who said what.
We all were poised like a slingshot, waiting for the release of "So help me God," and when he said that, the cheer started down by the capital and came to us like a wave, and it swept us into pandemonium. It all happened so fast, but I remember hopping and clapping all around me, and trying to hold my camera steady, and I remember looking out towards the mall and seeing all those flags, all those thousands and thousands of little flags, whipping back and forth so fast that it looked like a red-white-and-blue sheen on a gigantic lake.
Somehow I feel, simultaneously, that I almost missed it and that I will always have it with me. I was there, with all these other people, in the precise moment when Barack Obama became the 44th president, and George Bush and his party were officially swept out of power. It felt for all the world like everybody's favorite team had just scored a touchdown.
What I remember of his speech was the rolling applause that would sweep through the crowd, which made us miss some of his big lines, but we didn't care. I remember a few time thinking that he had stopped just short of turning around to Bush and Cheney and giving both of them a whack on the head. He talked about putting childish things behind us, about not trading liberties for security, about our military might not giving us the right to do whatever we want. This felt like the second half of his convention speech. That night, he said "Enough!" and today he said, "Now, this is where we must go together." I actually gasped again, at some of the things he said. To stand there and hear an American president talking about building roads and bridges, about how we can no longer use energy without regard for the effect, and how we want to help farms prosper and fresh water flow made me remember all over again that this guy is actually going to be the president! He can, like, do stuff now. And I found myself thinking, Go get it, Barack.
When he was done, the crowded started dispersing, and the poor poet and closing prayer got lost -- except that the preacher got some cheers, and laughs from Obama, with the lines about the yellow man being mellow, the red man being the head man, and white doing what's right. He was good, and the other guy got a few mean yells and a bunch of laughs for sounding like a fool, not to mention a hypocrite.
The crowd broke up in all directions, and I started getting texts and calls from folks back home. "Wow" and "surreal" and "moving" were coming in, and "amen' and "we did it!" were going out. I joined the lines taking pictures from the top of the hill, looking toward the Capital, and then made my down there as far as I could. That means I spent an hour walking through the masses, finding room where I could, following others upstream, and got down as far as 4th Street, down the dusty, completely trashed Mall. I went past the MSNBC booth and saw Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, which didn't impress me nearly as much as the native Alaskas I saw gearing up for the parade; they did a dance and chant for a couple dozen of us, and we all remarked at how comfortable they looked in the sunny, breezy, 28-degree weather.
From that point on, it was all about gathering souvenirs and getting home. I walked all the way back to the Washington Monument, then up into the neighborhoods, where stragglers were showing signs of fatigue, and the once mighty crowd was thinning back into streams. I got a latte in an overwhelmed coffee shop, sat at a sidewalk table for a bit, and a half hour later was on the Metro, headed back here to where I stayed last night. The TV idiots are out in full force, telling us what it all meant, and I can see that the parade crowd has thinned out considerably, with the temperature dropping into the low 20s. I'll be dining tonight with an inside-the-Beltway crowd which, I am sure, will go out of their way to show how above all this they are and how glad they weren't down there with the masses.
Well, I am damn glad I was down there. I was glad and proud to be among the million of Americans cheering the new and jeering the old. I felt a genuine national pride today, and I was part of one of the greatest gatherings in the history of our country. That doesn't make me special or accomplished, just lucky. And no matter what happens the next four years, at least we can all say we remember when Barack Obama gathered us all together and said, "Let's do better."

The cool change means that we start to shift our focus from salads and cereal to soups and oats which are both great choices nutritionally. The key things to remember when it comes to these foods are:
1.Instant oats are nowhere near as good as course natural oats.
2.You need to make your oats with milk to get enough protein with your breakfast.
3.Add cinnamon to your oats to sweeten it without sugar.
4.You can add a teaspoon of protein powder to increase the protein content of the oats.
5.Tinned soups have far too much salt.
6.The best soups are vegetable, pumpkin, chicken broth or tomato.
7.Adding 100g lean protein to your soup will make it dinner.
8.If you must buy prepared soups get Country Ladle Winter Vegetable or Pitago Pumpkin.
9.You do not need bread with your soup.
10.You will eat at least 100 calories less with your meal if you eat soup before it.

Hello to everyone reading this first post!!! I hope you are having a great day.
I won't bore you by going over at length things that I have already mentioned in the About Me Page. If you want to know more read that page. Suffice it to say I am a past lottery winner who wants to share some interesting facts about lotto playing and to give some good advice for getting more from your plays.
I'm originally from Wahpeton, North Dakota but now live in California where I enjoy long sunny days doing nothing much (at least nothing my mother would consider constructive).
Why This Website?
I started this website to share my story with people who may be interested. I explain in the About Me Page what the website name means to me (although someone owned it before me WMLotto.com has significance to me personally for different reasons).
If you have been playing the lotto for years without much luck but deep down know there must be a way to beat that game then the pages on the website are for you!
After a few years of trial and error I eventually found a way to increase my odds of winning lotto prizes.
I won't lie….it took time, effort and a bit of my hard earned money before i finally found a way to start winning.
I almost gave up a few times but I am a persistent SOB (sorry Mum) and I got there in the end.
My last win was just a few days prior to writing this first post! It was only for a few thousand bucks but hey they all count.
I really hope people get to read my website pages and even contact me (no begging letters though please) with their questions and hopefully with their success stories when they follow my lotto playing advice.
Contact me whenever you have a free moment and want to discuss anything with me about my website or my story.

5/5 aardvarks
Format: Board book (also available as a picture book)
Ages: 0-4
Author: Ole Risom
Illustrator: Richard Scarry
Publisher: Golden Books (originally published in 1963, rereleased January 2004)
Pages: 26
Kids' books are amazing these days. There is an astonishing variety available, covering every topic and idea anyone can imagine, and they all seem to do something different — there's The Book with no Pictures, which has (you guessed it) no pictures; there are books like Press Here! that invite the reader to push and press and tilt them; and stay tuned next week for a review of a book that's entirely black and helps sighted children get an idea of what the world might look like to a blind person. I love it. As an avowed lover of children's books, I revel in this wealth and abundance. I love to find books that do things differently and even test our idea of what a children's book is.
But sometimes, I just want to read my kids a sweet little story about a bunny in overalls.
I am a Bunny is utterly lacking in gimmicks and pretension. A 1963 collaboration between influential children's book publisher Ole Risom and beloved illustrator Richard Scarry, the book is a gentle exploration of the life of a little rabbit through the four seasons.
I am a bunny.
My name is Nicholas.
I live in a hollow tree.
Scarry's illustration capture every leaf, every daffodil, and every butterfly in loving detail. Babies and young toddlers love examining all the different creatures and plants, and older children can look up the different birds and insects in field guides. And every child (and most adults) I have witnessed reading this book is captivated by the double-page spread of Nicholas blowing the dandelion seeds into the air.
This book captures the wonder of the natural world at the level of a bunny, or of a child. It's not a book you should race through, although it doesn't have a lot of words and I will admit to pushing it as a bedtime story on rushed nights. This is the kind of book you should savour, delighting in every season as Nicholas enjoys spring, summer, fall, and finally winter.
And, when winter comes,
I watch the snow falling from the sky.
Then I curl up in my hollow tree and dream about spring.
Today's kids always seem to expect more from toys and books: they want them to beep and boop and sing and dance and pop because so many of their toys and books do. But for more than fifty years now, babies and children have loved snuggling up with a favourite grown-up to enjoy the simple, natural magic of I am a Bunny. This book is the perfect baby shower gift (I got mine from our good friend and occasional nanny — thanks Sarah!) and a classic that belongs on every child's shelf.

In fact I have not been in the place for some time. We were renting the place out since Papa did not want to sell it. He has been living with my sister and she told me that the tenant had shown her this problem. They call it subsistence, which means that we need to find a masonry contractor in Nassau county NY to fix the foundation. The cause is pretty simple, running water from a leaky pipe caused it to undermine the foundation. In fact you can look at the Grand Canyon if you do not know what water can do when given the time to work at something. Continue reading Have to Fix My Dad's Foundation
Calling a Professional to Prune My Favorite Trees
The weather outside is improving, and so it's time for me to begin thinking about my front yard. I have two very large trees that are on either side of the main entryway. Every year I spent a full weekend attending to these trees and getting them back into top shape. It really is a labor-intensive, so I've been considering hiring someone who is an expert in tree pruning in Long Island. I think that the money I spend on this service will be well worth the cost, because I will be able to have an extra weekend to do whatever I'd like.
One of the reasons I've decided to hire someone rather than do it myself is because my best friend suggested that I do so. The trees in my front yard are so massive that pruning them is quite an ordeal. I have to put on safety gear and use ropes in order to get to the top of these trees. My neighbors think I'm crazy for trying to do it on my own, but I think it's relaxing. Continue reading Calling a Professional to Prune My Favorite Trees
Renting a Limo for Family Fun Times
You really just have to go and rent a limousine at least once. It does not have to be you and friends. It does not have to be for a wedding or even a prom. What you should do is take your spouse and kids on a tour of a local city. Let the limo driver do the driving and have fun! Go to a museum. Go see on of the shows on ice that the kids go crazy over. You can rent pretty much any limo style you want depending on how many kids you have. Visit the site I went to that has all kinds of limos.
My mother-in-law is the one who got me into this for an occasion at least once a year. She rented a limousine for the family to go have dinner at a restaurant. We had a great time. We talked in the limo. Continue reading Renting a Limo for Family Fun Times
Financial Aid Can Be Difficult
There seems to be a cycle for people who decide that school or college is not their thing. While it is okay that people realize that school is not for them, it could be hard for them to get a good paying job if they are not skilled in something. I think that learning a skill or a trade could be good for many people, it has to be hard work to get somewhere without the credentials, however. Places like Coastal Truck Driving School teaches people the skill of driving a tractor trailer. My friends told me that the schools like this could be really expensive. I had no idea that that going to a trade school could be done with federal financial aid. There are a lot of people that could use a trade school like this if they decide that they do not want to go to college after high school. Continue reading Financial Aid Can Be Difficult
I Needed Two Apartments to Be Cleaned
My parents like to tease me because I have a part time helper who comes in and cleans the house for me. I thought I would have more time when I married my husband last year, but the opposite is true because of all the community commitments we are involved with now. The first time I used this company is when I did a search for a business that does moving out cleaning for Singapore. My husband and I both had our own apartments, and we moved into a condo together the day we were married.
We had to clean out both apartments and get rid of a lot of things since we were consolidating two homes into one. Continue reading I Needed Two Apartments to Be Cleaned
My Son Loves Everything About Science
My son has always been fascinated with the world around him. He has had the most curious mind I have ever witnessed in anyone, and I have encouraged him all his life to embrace all that is around him. He knew from about the age of 13 that science is what intrigues him the most, which is why I decided to look into A Level Physics tuition to see if there was a program that would help him more than what he was getting in his school lessons.
That is not to say his school lessons were not helping him, because he has never complained about them. I knew that the teacher was having to educate a lot of students at the same time though, and my son was leaps and bounds beyond them. I wanted him to continue to learn and to see this aspect of science in an interesting light since it seemed to be the direction he was heading to for his future career choices. Continue reading My Son Loves Everything About Science
Cleaning Company Did an Excellent Job
I found https://www.kleepers.com online while doing an extensive search for a cleaning company that could handle the challenge of tidying up an apartment. I planned on moving within the next two weeks and needed a company to come out and clean up my place and then clean the place I would be moving into. My place wasn't too bad, but definitely needed a good picking up if for no other reason than that I wanted to get most of my security deposit back. Landlords will sometimes hold back this money if they think you treated their property like garbage.
I didn't have anything too serious to worry about with my place, but the new place definitely needed some work. Continue reading Cleaning Company Did an Excellent Job
My New Way of Life with My Wife Makes Me Happy
Prior to meeting my new wife, I had never been hunting before. Often, it's the male who introduces his spouse to the sport, but my little lady comes from a family of hunters. She took me out a few times to hunt to see if I liked it, and I did. After she realized that it is something that I would love to do, she bought me a warm hunting jacket. This is because you must go out early in the morning to sit in a deer stand and wait for the deer to come by. It is often very cold in the stand. I find it all to be very peaceful, and it is good bonding time for the two of us.
I went to visit a cousin, and he told me that the rodeo was in town. Having never been to a rodeo, I was quite curious to go to one. Halfway through the event, I met my future wife. She was there with her sisters and some friends. It was love at first sight for me. Even though I lived four states away, that thought never crossed my mind at first. Continue reading My New Way of Life with My Wife Makes Me Happy
We Bought a Place in the Country
We found a really inexpensive place out in the country. It used to be a farm and the house needs a good deal of work. There are some out buildings as well and that is why we need to find someone that does rodent control in Scottsdale. We got a couple of half wild cats and they are working on the problem as well as they can. Of course you can not get just any cat and expect it to be any good at mousing. I have heard people say that the mother cat has to teach the kittens how to do it. They will catch a mouse and bring it back to their litter live so that the kittens will learn that they are supposed to hunt them. At any rate the cat we had to start with is completely useless. It does not even seem to notice the mice or care about them in the least. There are more than the cats can handle at any rate
We already got a few chickens and we are going to get a couple of goats too. Continue reading We Bought a Place in the Country
We Are in Florida Now
We have been down here in Florida for some time and we have been pretty happy so far. Of course my boss gave me little choice in the matter, they needed me down here and they did not give much thought to my opinion. At any rate Linda was easily able to find a job, in fact she had a lot of choices. The one that she picked was an outfit which did home care for Boca Raton. Of course she has worked in big hospitals and in doctor's offices, all of which can get old in a rather big hurry. This is different and a lot more relaxed and it is a lot more personal as well. At any rate she seems to like it so far. We are worried about the kids though. They are small and they are used to running around without much thought to dangers. They have things down here that you have to worry about. Continue reading We Are in Florida Now
My Husband Took the Easy Way out
When I married my husband, I thought that I found my happily ever after. I did have that, at least for a few years. We were typical newlyweds. We loved each other so much, and we ended up having three children in the first three years of our marriage. I don't know if it was this new responsibility of children that changed our dynamics, or if it was something else entirely. What I do know is that I never expected to visit a Salem divorce attorney before I even reached my tenth wedding anniversary.
I am not the type to cry over spilled milk though. I did try to convince my husband that we, his family, were worth fighting for. He chose to take the easy way out though, which was to just leave. Continue reading My Husband Took the Easy Way out
I Got Started with a Home-Based Business Preparing Tax Returns
We started by converting half of our two car garage into an office. The garage door was replaced with a wall and regular entry door. The inside was finished in drywall, and commercial flooring was put down. I was finishing my courses to get my EFIN, and we were getting tax preparation software for professionals to install on the two computers that would be in the office. Some office furniture and a phone system was added, and I was open for business.
I lived in an area where I could have a home business that had minimal customer traffic. About five or so people came by each day, and that was more than enough to replace two full time incomes. All I was doing was preparing taxes for people. I was not even allowed to have a small sign outside, but people knew where I was at. They knew my phone number and they memorized my office hours. I was providing a valuable service to them, and they trusted me to do it right. It is amazing, but I know the financial secrets of a lot of people in the neighborhood I live in. Continue reading I Got Started with a Home-Based Business Preparing Tax Returns
Grandma's Special Potato Chip Recipe is Now on Our Commercial Production Line
My grandmother taught my mom how to make these perfect potato chips from fresh potatoes. She would cut them to a specific thickness and fry them in a cast iron skillet that had cooking oil in it. Mom is more of a health guru, so we did not get potato chips often. That is a good thing, but I missed them. So, I asked my elderly grandmother to show me how she makes them, especially the seasoning blend. They are so good that now we own two net weight filling machines and are working out of a commercial kitchen selling thousands of bags of her special potato chips every week.
Grandma is getting her cut to supplement her retirement income even though she told me to not pay her. She is the one who invented the seasoning blend and process for making the savory chips, so of course I made sure she is taken care of. She even comes to the kitchen each work day for quality control. No one know how they should precisely taste than the lady who perfected the recipe herself. Continue reading Grandma's Special Potato Chip Recipe is Now on Our Commercial Production Line
Did You Know That a Popular Breath-Freshening Treat is Made from Crude Oil?
Searching for crude oil is kind of like trying to find the best gas prices. You could drive to each gas station, or you could use technology to find the best price in your area. There are apps to help you find cheaper gasoline prices, and there is new technology available that shows direct hydrocarbon indicators deep in the ocean. A company has technology that can detect oil seepage in areas of the ocean that are indicators of hydrocarbons in the earth's crust. This is a game changer for oil exploration. When you are investing in wells or oil drilling platforms, you want to strike black gold wherever you drill.
It costs a lot of money just to sink a land well. Moving an oil rig across the ocean costs millions. You want to find oil wherever you stop to drill, and you want to find a lot of it. We go through billions upon billions of gallons of oil on the earth for everything from gasoline to diesel to plastics and even makeup products. A lot of the products you use are made from petroleum products. Even chewing gum is derived from petroleum byproducts. Continue reading Did You Know That a Popular Breath-Freshening Treat is Made from Crude Oil?
Starting My Own Business Without Crowdfunding or Using Credit Cards
I have seen people using crowdfunding and borrowing from anywhere they can to start a business. Granted, they are dreamers, but some do have good ideas. The problem is that some don't. It takes more than an idea to start a business. When I started my business I used my credit history to get consumer financing for merchants without having to borrow a nickel from banks or using crowdfunding. I have always been independent, and I did not want to owe a bunch of people a piece of my business. This is why I will never go public with my business too. I am independent and do not want partners or stockholders to answer to. Continue reading Starting My Own Business Without Crowdfunding or Using Credit Cards
Something Better for a Snack
During the day, I usually go to the vending machine at work for a quick snack. The food and drink machines are right next to each other, so I'll grab a bag of chips or a candy bar, and a bottle of soda. It fills me up for the moment, but it doesn't give me that much energy. My wife suggested I try eating something a little healthier, and bought me some healthy walnut snacks. I like walnuts, but I usually eat them at the end of the year during Christmas time. I never considered having them on a regular basis.
My wife also bought me some baby carrots, trail mix, and pomegranate juice to replace the soda. Continue reading Something Better for a Snack
My Insurance Premiums Were Too Expensive
When my friend told me about her experiences with Moose Jaw insurance, it really made me think about my own insurance experiences. I had not had very good ones, especially as far as costs were concerned. It seemed that every year, prices would go up with one thing or another. My insurance premiums were among the worst offenders for this, but I thought it was just something I had to deal with. I honestly thought that the insurance premiums for everyone was going up, but it was not until I talked with my friend that I realized this was not true. Continue reading My Insurance Premiums Were Too Expensive
A Good Lawyer Helped Me
There are lots of bad consequences when someone is pulled over after a night of drinking. I know from first hand experience because I was driving home from a party when I saw the red lights in my rear view mirror. I thought I had been careful, but the police thought otherwise. I ended up spending a night in jail, and I knew that I had caused myself a lot of grief over a few hours of fun. I needed a good DWI lawyer in Albany NY because I did not want this following me for the rest of my life.
I could have defended myself and saved a bit of money, but I also knew that I could end up losing my license or even spending time in jail since I was definitely guilty. Continue reading A Good Lawyer Helped Me
I Have That Land Cleared off
It was a really big job and I was lucky that my uncle was willing to leading me that little skid loader that he owns. Without it, the job would have been pretty awful. It was not big enough to really do all of the stuff that I need to do, but obviously it was a lot better at moving logs and brush than I am. You can push big piles round that would take a man all day and not end up having to see a Peoria chiropractor when you are done with it. Of course I have to do that on occasion any how. My back is always sore and this stuff did not do it a bit of good. I am thinking that when we are done I may have to go into Peoria and see that guy about it. Continue reading I Have That Land Cleared off
I Have a New Job
I suppose that you could call it a personal assistant, but the truth is that I am a flunky for a rich old guy. In fact I sort of wonder that much of it is not that he is lonely, he had been married for forty some years before his wife passed away a couple of years ago. He is in pretty good shape considering his age, but he has back pain. Three days ago I drove him to see a chiropractor in Beverly Hills and I sat around and waited for him to get out of there. After that we drove around and he took me to see this friend of his, apparently he used to be a movie producer. Continue reading I Have a New Job
I Was Not Ready to Give Up One of One of My Favorite Things
My dad is the one that got me in the stock car racing when I was much younger. He has been doing it for many years. I still like to race today, but when I began having a lot of trouble with my back, I thought it would put me out of commission for good. Thanks to the Redding chiropractor that I see every couple of weeks, I haven't had a need to give up my favorite hobby at all. My grandson has been showing some interest in what I do, and it is a relief to be able to feel good again and teach him the ropes, too.
My father was always pretty adventurous from what his parents have mentioned many times. They always said they felt they had to keep a watchful eye on him when he was growing up because he had a penchant for doing daring things that worried his parents endlessly. Continue reading I Was Not Ready to Give Up One of One of My Favorite Things

Report : Global OLED Market 2016-2020 is a new market research publication announced by Reportstack.
Report Outline: OLED panels are made of organic (carbon-based) materials that emit light when electricity is supplied through them. OLEDs are more efficient, simpler to make, and much thinner than LCD displays, as they do not require a backlight and filters. OLEDs provide good picture quality with brilliant colors, a fast response rate, and a wide viewing angle compared to other display technologies. OLEDs are also used for lighting. OLED lighting panels are thin, efficient, and flat surface structures.
The basic structure of an OLED consists of a cathode that injects electrons, an emissive layer, and an anode, which removes electrons. These lighting panels use flat surfaces, which allow an even distribution of light over a wider space. OLEDs work in a similar way to traditional diodes and LEDs, but instead of using n-type and p-type semiconductor layers, they use an organic substance to produce their electrons and holes.
For detailed report with TOC, please click here Global OLED Market 2016-2020.
Market Growth: The global OLED market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% during the period 2016-2020.

2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 Luxury Sedan
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class, or the "Baby Benz" as it is affectionately known, has been a favorite of entry-level luxury/sport sedan buyers for years. More than just a small sedan with a few three-pointed stars thrown on it, the C-Class provides the core strengths of the brand, such as cutting-edge safety features, lively performance and a feeling of security. Fans of ultra-high performance have been thrilled by the AMG versions, which boast blistering performance and tenacious handling along with unique, yet tasteful styling accents.
Style plays into the equation of the small Benz's appeal as well, with the C-Class drawing inspiration from bigger Benzes. The crouching stance with its arcing belt line, the elliptical front lights and the triangular taillights are instantly recognizable throughout most of the Mercedes family. In the past, the cabin of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been criticized for some lapses in fit and finish, though current models show this issue has been addressed.
Invariably, the C-Class is cross-shopped with its countryman rivals, the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series. While the 3 Series is the most sporting of the trio and the A4 the more luxury-themed, the Benz offers a little of both personalities, along with more prestige for those concerned about such things.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class first debuted in 2001 and is currently available as a sedan only. There are essentially four trim levels: C230 Sport, C280 Luxury, C350 Sport and C350 Luxury. Enthusiasts will want to consider the C230 and C350 Sport sedans, both of which have firmly tuned suspensions with 17-inch wheels, manual transmissions and more aggressively bolstered sport seats. The chief difference between these two is what's under the hood -- the C230 Sport has a 2.5-liter V6 (201 horsepower) while the C350 Sport has a 3.5-liter V6 (268 hp).
The Luxury C-Class models, which come only with automatic gearboxes, include the C280 (3.0-liter V6, 228 hp) and C350 and come with coddling features such as softer suspension calibrations, leather upholstery, real wood trim and power seats. Options include HID headlights, a 12-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system, satellite radio and a navigation system. Most C-Class models are rear-wheel drive, but Mercedes offers all-wheel-drive versions (called "4Matic") of the C280 Luxury and C350 Luxury.
In-house tuning firm AMG offers serious sport sedans for those with deep pockets and an equally deep-seated desire for high performance. The Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG features a 5.5-liter 362-hp V8 engine and a massaged five-speed automatic. This sedan can blast to 60 mph in fewer than five seconds. More than a one-trick pony, the C55 is as adept at unraveling a twisty road as it is burning up the highway. It can also make for a fine daily driver thanks to supportive seats and a measured ride quality.
Those considering the standard Mercedes-Benz C-Class probably wouldn't regret their purchase, as there should be more than enough performance and luxury to satisfy them. However, savvy shoppers should know that other automakers, particularly those from Japan, offer roomier, less costly alternatives that equal or better the C-Class in performance and features, if not status. The AMG version has just a few rivals, and although any entry in this rarefied class will provide stupendous performance, only the C55 does it with a healthy dose of Mercedes-Benz style.
Shoppers interested in a used C-Class from this generation should take note of a variety of changes Mercedes has made since the car's debut. The most significant changes occurred in 2006, at which point Mercedes introduced new engines and transmissions and discontinued some additional body styles. Those extra body styles were an affordable two-door hatchback and a four-door wagon. Mercedes has also altered the AMG model during this generation; previous to 2005, it was known as the C32 AMG and had a 3.2-liter supercharged V6 capable of 349 hp.
The previous Mercedes-Benz C-Class debuted in 1994 as a replacement for the small 190-Class sedan. With more room, a more luxurious cabin and styling that mimicked the larger E-Class, the first C-Class could be had with four-cylinder (C220) or six-cylinder (C280) power, with output ranging from 148 to 194 horsepower. There was no wagon offered at all during this generation's run (1994-2000). Safety has always been a priority with Mercedes, and as such the C-Class benefited from the early adoption of such technologies as stability control, emergency brake assist and side airbags. Performance of the base C rose through the years, as the 2.2-liter four gave way to a 2.3-liter, which was then replaced by a 2.3-liter supercharged unit.
The hot-rod AMG versions started in 1995 with the C36 that featured a 268-hp inline six. Serious firepower arrived in 1998 with the debut of the C43, whose 4.3-liter V8 pumped out 302 horsepower. Diehard enthusiasts should know that only automatic transmissions came with the AMGs, though this hardly hurt the performance of these fast little sedans.
Either way, used-car shoppers should know that the Mercedes C-Class historically scores high in crash tests, and ownership satisfaction is generally quite high, with consumers praising handling, ride and reliability. However, maintenance is typically costly.
