text: Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB) waveforms provide a time log for the interaction of the laser pulse with the environment (water surface, water column and seafloor) along its ray-path geometry. Using the water surface return and the bottom return, it is possible to calculate the water depth. In addition to bathymetry, the ALB bottom return can provide information on seafloor characteristics. The main environmental factors that contribute to the ALB bottom return measurements are: slope, roughness, vegetation, and mineral composition of the surface geology. Both the environment and the ALB hardware affect the bottom return and contribute to the measurement uncertainties. In this study, the ALB bottom return waveform was investigated spatially (i.e., area contributing to the return) and temporally (i.e. the shape of the waveform return) for seafloor characterization. A system-agnostic approach was developed in order to distinguish between the spatial variations of different bottom characteristics. An empirical comparison of bottom characteristics was conducted near the Merrimack River Embayment, Gulf of Maine, USA. The study results showed a good correlation to acoustic backscatter collected over the same area.

This week we are going to have a look at a couple of branded apps that deliver an engaging mobile experience.
According to new statistics from analytics firm Flurry, the average mobile user now spends 81 minutes per day on mobile apps compared to 74 minutes spent surfing the Web (both desktop and mobile). This is the first time that mobile apps usage overtakes surfing according to the source.
So with mobile apps becoming a more and more important part of our daily lives, many brands are now trying to profit from this opportunity of engaging consumers.
Lynx have recently launched a mobile app that allows users to track all their mobile activity on a big night out. The app acts as an aggregator by compiling tweets, Facebook posts, photos, videos, texts and check-ins onto the stream, giving users the option to generate a cool video at the end. The idea behind the app is innovative and by allowing users to re-live unforgettable nights out, the brand successfully generates an engaging and unique experience.
Another great example of a truly innovative mobile app comes from Pringles. Their Crunch Band app allows users to play a selection of different instruments and works by using the accelerometer to make different sounds. The app allows users to plug it in to packets of Pringles that then act as a loud speaker. In addition, there are added bonuses for scanning the bar code of Pringle packs to unlock new features and badges inside the app. The app is a really smart way of engaging with consumers and linking the Pringles brand with the music festival season this year.
The NikeID Store app allows consumers to customise shoes on the go. The app is very clever and has a bunch of cool features such as point-n-shoot which allows users to take photos and use the selected colour palettes from photos to customise sets of shoes. The app also allows the sharing of designs with friends via social networks, and consumers can purchase their custom made shoes straight from the app.
Zonacitas.com, Argentina’s top dating website, has recently released the Singles Finders mobile app. The app aims to assist single people with finding the perfect date by telling users the exact amount of single people in different locations. This is an innovative and engaging app that will certainly create some buzz.
The final app this week comes from Pizza Express. Their recently launched app offers a world first, by giving customers the option to pay their bill automatically through PayPal in restaurants around the UK. In addition, the app also enables customers to find and book a restaurant table, view menus, and store special offer codes and receipts. This is certainly a great and innovative mobile app that simplifies the paying process in Pizza Express restaurants.

Sorry UMBC, but the Stanford Cardinal were moments away from taking down the No. 2-ranked Jayhawks in a road matchup. They lost in overtime 90-84.
In a fight they were never thought to have a chance in, the Stanford men’s basketball team (4-4) put up a formidable performance against nationally No. 2-ranked Kansas (6-0) but was ultimately defeated in overtime by a final score of 90-84.
The first quarter was a flurry of action down and back on the court. With only 12 minutes played in the first quarter, the score was 17-15, and eight total lead changes had occurred.
Stanford’s capability to score on pace with Kansas was a surprise to the Jayhawks. In a play just five minutes into the first quarter, the ball was driven to the hoop by sophomore forward KZ Okpala, drawing defenders to the hoop, leaving sophomore guard Isaac White open for a corner three. White, receiving a season high in minutes with freshman guard Cormac Ryan in foul trouble, shot 5-7 from three and was the primary reason the Cardinal were in the game. White ended the game with 15 total points.
The first half was also filled with effective strategies of defensive on both sides. The Cardinal kept the game close with a top-ranked opponent full of NBA talent and one-and-done players.
With three minutes left in the half, the Kansas defensive was inactive, leaving senior center Josh Sharma wide open and side shuffling to the hoop. Mid-jump, he received the pass and slammed it into the basket for a powerful alley-oop. The next play Kansas answered with a quick jumper above the free throw line that swished through the net. The half ended with Stanford in the lead, 35-29.
Stanford was able to capitalize on its six-point advantage and continue the lead through almost half of the second half. With only nine minutes left, the Stanford defense started to develop holes.
The Kansas offense had multiple plays where the defense was diverted by the Jayhawks’ Devon Dotson and Lagerald Vick. Vick knocked down three-pointer after three-pointer towards the end of the second half.
It was Vick’s hot hand that proved to be the nail in the coffin for the Cardinal. With plays by the Cardinal and Kansas answering each other shot for shot, Stanford could not extend its lead, and the Jayhawks could not move in front. With less than 20 seconds left, the Cardinal led the game 75-72. But a prayer three from Vick ignited the Kansas field house and left the Cardinal shaking their heads as the game headed to overtime.
Vick scored another three at the start of overtime. The Stanford defense started to unravel, thanks in part to the absence of Sharma, who had fouled out, as the Kansas team obliterated the scoreboard in overtime. Kansas had multiple back to back plays resulting in points. From a three-pointer to a slam dunk to an alley-oop, Kansas was in control of overtime from start to finish. What started as an impressive effort by the Cardinal to nearly upset a top-ranked opponent ended in a Cardinal victory out of reach.
Overall, Stanford’s shooting was much improved this game with a season record of 12 three-pointers.
The whirlwind game’s final score was 90-84, with the Kansas Jayhawks scraping out a win. The next game the Cardinal will play is at home in Maples Pavilion on Dec. 15 against Eastern Washington.

just got the witcher 3 today anybody else ?
Not waiting for anything, but I'll be trying Repopulation when it comes out, if it comes out.
Ive been logging in every so often to keep an eye on it. The DEVs are making fantastic progress.
Im also waiting for Star Citizen but really who knows when that will be "released"
Pre-Order has started a few days ago.
IMHO 3 1/2 month pre-order phase at a price of 60 bucks doesn't feel right.
I thought the repopulation was dead since hero engine has stopped.
I have 0 interest in it, but I did read somewhere that they were switching the game engine and have already moved a bunch of assets over.
As for anything on the horizon? Meh.
I'm still waiting for the next/last big Witcher 3 DLC - Hearts of Stone and the whole rest of the game are/were *** amazing. I technically still have a Steam backlog and as always a long watch list but nothing other than that really stands out.
I'm waiting on Perpetuum to come out of Beta.
Waiting for the final episode for half a year now. Soon, soon, soon.
Supernova is a slow-paced and complex MOBA with Starcraft-like futuristic theme. Been having a blast beta testing it even though I usually only enjoy Dota. Hope they'll succeed.
Witcher 3: Blood and Wine expansion comes out on the 30th. The whole game was absolutely *** amazing from start to finish including the DLC which were totally worth it. CD Projekt is a national treasure I hope they never get bought by Activision/EA/Other corporate ***.
Ive been watching a few youtube videos on Stellaris. Anyone here played that?
I only have a few hours on Stellaris but yeah it's good so far, I'll probably play it all the week-end.
Been wrecking fools in dreadnought. its eve meets world of tanks and Mechwarrior online. 5v5 pvp 5 classes of ships 3 tiers and some premium/founder ships which by no means are better than the normal ones.
Its still in Beta and has some balancing kinks to work out, shouldn't be anything new for people around here.
I'm play world of Warcraft and preparing for new xpac in August.
Its like half my active steam friends are playing that, including former AC members.
to expensive for me at this moment.
right now i got the steam notification for SPAZ2 release in 3 days.
It has my seal of approval.
Classic paradox game, meaning it's bare-bones at the moment compared to CK2/EU4 but DLC's will definitely be coming. Whats in-game now is well worth playing.
Nothing like some alien smacktalking then you take his stuff and purge his entire population. Genocide on a galactic scale. Reminds me of perp's finest days.

UPDATE: Kashrut is under Rabbi Dolinger of Rhode Island. See below.
In a recent announcement on their blog, the farm-to-table dairy / vegetarian Boston-based restaurant chain, Clover Food Lab, is becoming kosher. This includes all of their kitchens and food trucks. In fact, Clover’s HUB restaurant (Cambridge), food trucks, and large catering orders are already certified kosher; all other restaurants will be kosher within two weeks.
Clover has a half dozen restaurants and another 6+ food trucks in the metro Boston area. Use the map below to locate their restaurants and food trucks.
Additionally, Clover has been getting prepared foods into Massachusetts Whole Foods stores, which with the kashering of their catering kitchens mean that too will be kosher later this year!
Clover is kosher certified under the supervision Rabbi Barry Dolinger of Congregation Beth Shalom in Rhode Island.

Most of the successful eCommerce websites have some common attributes: a responsive web design, an active social media presence, and a strong focus on the shopper’s overall experience. However, none of this would be as successful if not for key search engine optimization (SEO) strategies.
Too many eCommerce sites use the manufacturer’s descriptions for their products and miss out on a great opportunity to hook their visitors. Creating unique product descriptions allows you to entice the customer into buying certain products and also gives them an idea for the tone and feel of your store. Use keywords that your specific audience might search for, but also make sure to avoid keyword stuffing. Another thing to avoid: duplicate copy. It may seem tempting to copy and paste, but your eCommerce site will suffer because of it.
Want to be ranked higher in the search engines? Make your site easy to navigate for users, and they will be more likely to hang out on your website for a longer time. This will not only increase your chances of making a sale, but it will also help search engines index your website’s key content and rank you higher. On the other hand, poor navigation can hurt your rankings and will no doubt frustrate online shoppers.
Every website, whether it is an eCommerce site or not, should have internal linking. Simply put, internal linking is when you link one page to another within your own website. The content that you are linking to should be relevant, as this will give those who visit your website a better experience, and it will allow you to rank higher in the search engines. Both internal and external link building should be used together in order to be most effective, but many websites forget the importance of linking within their own website.
How your eCommerce site handles products that are out of stock has a big impact on SEO. If your product is out of stock, and you plan on replenishing the product, it would be a good idea to provide a message that says “temporarily out of stock” and give the user the option to be notified when it is replenished. If the product will not be replenished, you can redirect visitors to a similar product or back to the homepage, if nothing else.
Making your eCommerce site secure will give it a small but significant ranking boost in Google search results. This is because Google decided in 2014 that they wanted to encourage all website owners to keep everyone safe on the web by switching from HTTP to HTTPS. However, the second major version of the HTTP protocol known as HTTP2 has arrived, and it could impact your SEO in the future. Even if it doesn’t affect your search rankings, this new protocol will make your website faster and give users a better experience.
Optimizing your images on your website will help users find your products more easily. This is because many users are using the image search function to locate products online. You can do this by putting relevant keywords into the ALT tags of most your images (some images are purely for design purposes and don’t need them). Avoid putting too much content and keywords into them, as this could hurt your rankings. The key is to help users find these products by providing a helpful description.
Product reviews are not only vital for SEO purposes, but they can also convince online shoppers to purchase products from your eCommerce site. A survey conducted by Dimensional Research found that 88 percent of participants have been influenced to purchase a product because of an online customer review. Product reviews do well in search engine rankings because they provide unique content for your site, and they improve a user’s experience.
An eCommerce website can have amazing products, but this won’t do much good if people don’t know about them in the first place. That’s why it is critical that eCommerce websites use SEO strategies, such as the ones mentioned above, to be successful. The Commerce Shop can help you optimize everything—from text and images, to overall design, so that you can convert more online shoppers and maximize sales.

an ecommerce website can have amazing products, but this won’t do much good if people don’t know about them in the first place. that’s why it is critical that ecommerce websites use seo strategies, such as the ones mentioned above, to be successful. the commerce shop can help you optimize everything—from text and images, to overall design, so that you can convert more online shoppers and maximize sales.

I agree that the color scheme is nice. I like the way you have it now as opposed to the way that it appeared a while ago. I also think that it is easy to find your way around. User-friendly sites are a must these days. If people can't find what they need in a few minutes, they are off the next site.
Topic: Check out my website!
Re: Check out my website!
I agree that the site is slow to load. You might check on optimizing your images or even compressing your files. You might also check with your web host to see if you have a heavy load server. They will often change you to another server if you complain.
Very nice look. The page is super fast loading. How did you get it to load so fast with such an image rich environment? I also like the colors. Great job.
Welcome to the forum. Looks like there are several of us that are new on there. I really don't much about the shipping rates, but it does seem a bit high. I know that I would not pay $25 for shipping. It seems that most places are adding it as a free service now a days.

And what they -- and their families -- deserve is help and hope.
You're sitting in your family doctor's office with your child, waiting. Your child fidgets, trying not to bite his fingernails. Your stomach is tight with worry, and you can't meet each other's eyes.
"Do you think it's serious?" your baby finally asks. "I'm trying, Mom. I'm really trying."
The door opens. Instead of the expected reassuring doctor in a white coat, you see a police officer, holding out a pair of shiny steel handcuffs.
"I'm sorry to tell you this," the police officer says. "But your child has leukemia. We are going to need to take him into custody."
What if we treated cancer like we treat serious mental illness?
Like many people who become mental health advocates, I arrived in this role entirely by accident. When my second son's increasingly erratic and even dangerous behavior was finally diagnosed as bipolar disorder, he had already been in juvenile detention four times, and he had three stays in an acute care mental hospital. He was only 13 years old.
I did not know how to help him then. But I did know one thing for sure: my son was not a bad kid. He had behavioral symptoms of a brain disorder that had been with him since birth.
As a result of those behavioral symptoms, my son and many other children are sent to jail.
As I fought for justice for my own child, I learned that we were not alone in our struggle. All across America, children and adults with serious mental illness were being sent to jail because of their illness.
Treated, my son is just like anyone else. And yet when a child who brought a gun to school in Montana was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and treated, he was denied re-entry to the public education system. This child is likely to join hundreds of thousands of other children with serious emotional disturbance diagnoses who have ended up in the school-to-prison pipeline.
Do you think that 12-year olds who may have serious mental illness should be tried as adults instead of receiving treatment? That could be what is happening right now in Wisconsin with the Slenderman case.
Do you think that people who clearly committed their "crimes" while in the throes of psychosis should be executed? In our society, we've practically made that an expectation.
The way we "manage" serious mental illness is both expensive and immoral. So why do we keep sending sick people to jail instead of providing them with life-changing treatment?
I've come to an uncomfortable conclusion about how our society continues to ignore the obvious problem of serious mental illness. At some level, the fact is that we think people with serious mental illness deserve to go to jail. We tell ourselves that they deserve solitary confinement. They deserve homelessness. They deserve to be shot and killed by police. And because they are getting what we think they "deserve," it's okay for us to turn away, to blame the very people we should be helping.
I can't help but come to this conclusion as states everywhere (including mine) slash their mental healthcare budgets and services while leaving law enforcement and the criminal justice system to clean up the awful mess.
How do you stigmatize a medical condition? Make it a crime.
I'm ashamed--not of my son and the millions of people like him who are courageously living the best lives they can despite significant challenges. I'm ashamed of the rest of us, who tell ourselves that "those people" got what they deserved. We don't want those "weird kids" in our children's classrooms. We don't accept that with the right supports, people can manage their diagnoses and live successful, productive lives in their communities. For those who cannot meet this worthy goal because their illness is too severe, we do not provide quality medical care, preferring instead the cold, harsh reality of a jail cell and solitary confinement.
At some level, we are all accountable for our failure to extend compassion and care to the sickest among us. We are all Adam Lanza's mother, unable to acknowledge that our sons and daughters need help, not blame and castigation.
To everyone reading this who thinks that people with mental illness who are shot and killed by police officers got what they deserved: shame on you.
To everyone reading this who lives in fear and ignorance of your brave friends and neighbors battling to live a "normal" life: shame on you.
We can do better. We must do better. Our children are depending on us as a society to provide treatment before tragedy. People with mental illness should finally get what they deserve: compassion, admiration, support, and hope.

Economic profit is different from the general business term ‘profit’. The general assumption is that firms are producing goods to maximize profits. However, economists also assume that firms may aim to maximize revenue (profit is revenue – cost), maximize market share or achieve a pre-defined level of profit.
Economic profits are based on scarcity so they include explicit costs (for payments to labor, land and capital) and implicit costs (the use of the entrepreneur). Economic profit computations are not normally limited to time periods.
Economic profit is defined as the difference between Total Revenue and Total Economic Cost.
Marginal Revenue = Change in total revenue as a result of changing the rate of sales by one unit. It is also the slope of Total Revenue.
What is Normal Profit or Zero Economic Profit?
The Normal Profits, also known as break-even or zero economic profit, includes the profit paid to the entrepreneur (included in total cost, for bringing in scarce resources and taking risk), and total cost is equal to total revenue. A firm making normal profits will remain in the industry. A firm will only exit the industry if it is making losses in the long run.
However, if total revenues exceed total cost then the firm is said to be making super normal profits. Profits encourage firms to be more competitive, reward entrepreneurs and allow better distribution of scarce resources.
Accounting profit is calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
It is a company’s total revenue reduced by the explicit costs of producing goods or services. These explicit costs involve expenses such as the cost of raw materials, employee wages, transportation, rent and interest on capital.
Usually, accounting profit is limited to time periods, such as a fiscal quarter or year.
Accounting profit computations are primarily used for income tax purposes, financial statement preparations and to review financial performance.
Economic profit takes into consideration explicit costs and implicit costs, while accounting profit only utilizes explicit costs.
If a company had $250,000 in revenues and $150,000 in explicit costs, its accounting profit would be $100,000. The same company also had $50,000 in implicit, or opportunity costs. Its economic profit would be $50,000.

That lyric occurred to me as I contemplated the ever-increasing number of stories I am hearing of young children with clothing and food “issues.” Specifically, these kids complain that their clothing itches or feels tight or their food tastes or feels “funny.” Reports of hysteria and throwing up are common.
These complaints and over-the-top behaviors often result in a diagnosis of Sensory Integration Disorder, concerning which there is zero hard evidence verifying the pseudo-scientific claims being made by diagnosing professionals. When they say things like “your child’s brain has difficulty receiving and processing sensory information,” and “your child experiences things like taste and texture differently than does a normal child,” they are throwing darts blindfolded. These claims are unprovable, to say the least.
Young children are by nature self-centered, meaning they rarely, if ever, take other people’s feelings into consideration. To a young child, nearly everything is all about “The One and Only Almighty Moi.” Furthermore, children are soap-opera factories. It is an act of love for one’s neighbors for parents to teach children that their feelings do not rule other people’s behavior (beginning with theirs).
But many, if not most, of today’s parents are not impressing that understanding on their children. Instead, they regard their children’s feelings as valid, meaningful expressions of inner psychological states that they must strive to understand and affirm. In their view, failing to do so may bring on a psychological apocalypse.
Because of mental-health propaganda, today’s parents take this stuff seriously. And so, instead of saying, at the first complaint of itchy clothes or “funny-tasting” food, “You’re going to wear/eat it anyway, end of discussion,” today’s parents begin jumping around like manic marionettes trying to make life perfect for their little darlings. This is, after all, what good parenting is all about in the new millennium.
The following is axiomatic: When parents assign credence to every emotion a child puts out there, he will quickly develop what I call “Affective Basket-Case Disorder.” He learns, after all, that if he acts like he is having an ABCD episode, his parents will change their behavior and revise their expectations.
Under the circumstances, the child suffers because people who are driven by emotion are not happy people. His parents also suffer because living with a person with ABCD – no matter the person’s age – is highly stressful. Invariably, the child’s parents begin acting like emotional basket-cases, about which they feel significant guilt, thus further overloading their already-overloaded emotional baskets.
Yep, there’s something happening here all right, but I happen to think it’s perfectly clear. Fifty or so years ago, the mental health community persuaded parents that children had a right to express their (mostly irrational) feelings freely. It’s been an increasingly chaotic downhill ride ever since.

Congratulations!! You have made up your mind to join the thousands of people who have successfully moved to Spain. It is certain that you are eagerly looking forward to a moving to Spain guide to help you start a new life there. You need to truly plan your entire project of moving to Spain so that the process becomes a smooth and successful transition.
The moving to Spain checklist must indeed be a long and detailed one. Let us first decide where we are going to settle after moving to Spain. Southern Spain with its world class infrastructure and the finest quality living is an excellent place to set up home.
Having decided the place, let us move on to the next item in the moving to Spain checklist. Now we need to have a clear and concise picture of the most important things to know before moving to Spain. Our next area of decision will involve if you need to rent a place or buy one on moving to Spain. If you choose to rent a place, it might give you the added advantage of getting familiarized with the atmosphere and the surrounding neighborhood before you think of buying property in Spain. You need not rush to take any hasty decision on buying. On moving to Spain you may assess the basic facilities like shopping, transportation, safety etc. and then go ahead with your purchase of property.
The next very important item in the moving to Spain checklist is about healthcare. This is something that requires planning in advance before moving to Spain. Find out about your healthcare entitlements in Spain. It is very much advised that you take up private health care as the first and foremost step in your process of moving to Spain.
Taking the next place in the moving to Spain checklist is schools and colleges. If you have children of school going age, it is best to do some research on the various schooling possibilities before moving to Spain. After taking major decisions like is it going to be Spanish or an International School, you may contact them on the internet itself for their prospectus and application forms.
A basic element that cannot be ignored in your moving to Spain checklist is the knowledge of the local language. You might find English being spoken in many places but it gives you great advantage in knowing the basic phrases commonly used and your communication becomes very smooth.
Your moving to Spain checklist should definitely include the idea of own transportation. There is no doubt that public transportation system is an excellent one in Spain. However, mobility levels increase if you have your own mode of transport. You will also be able to explore the areas to your convenience.
Pets take up an important place in the moving to Spain guide. Pets traveling in Europe need to fulfill certain health requirements. You need to make sure that you pet is allowed to move with you to Spain. Acquiring an EU Pet Passport may be a long process. So prepare for this much in advance.
Food occupies a place of great importance in your moving to Spain checklist. You need to be prepared to face the different cuisines on moving to Spain. Acquaint your self with the different cuisines available in Spain. The food shopping you will be able to do in Spain is totally a different experience and you need to be prepared. It is said that you very rarely get ready-made foods in Spain. Everything is preferred fresh here. On doing a little bit of research you will be able to identify the places where you could get fresh fruits, vegetable and groceries at the best rates.
Do not forget to include money matters in your moving to Spain checklist. It is advisable to open a Spanish Bank Account. Before opening the account you need to procure your foreigners’ identification number from the nearest police station in Spain. This document is very important for all legal and monetary procedures in Spain. On moving to Spain, this must take your utmost priority.
You also need to have an idea of the taxation system prevalent in the country. Resident or non-resident system of taxation is in vogue. Have an idea of the various types of tax deductions available before moving to Spain.
Cost of living as a whole entity occupies a place of great significance in your moving to Spain checklist. Have a clear idea of all the major heads if expense including utility services like power, water, fuel, home groceries, eating out, education, medical health etc. This will equip you with great confidence on starting your new life in Spain.
Assess the information collected and take an independent decision. Just always remember to make a confident beginning even before landing the soil of another country so that life there begins on a happy and successful note. Hopefully, this moving to Spain guide will help you jump start your preparations.

Undergraduate nursing students endure unique stressors that potentiate negative consequences to their mental health. Mindfulness-based interventions may improve these negative mental health symptoms in nursing students. The objective of this review is to assess available research regarding the effects of mindfulness-based interventions on the negative mental health symptoms of undergraduate nursing students. The databases CINAHL Complete, PubMed, and PsycINFO were searched for relevant research. Search terms were brainstormed and individually assessed to determine relevancy to the research question. In order to be incorporated into this systematic review, all assessed studies needed to include (1) an intervention rooted in mindfulness, (2) a sample of nursing students in a 4-year program (3) research outcomes pertaining to mental health, and (4) publication in a peer-reviewed source. Of the 74 articles found within the initial database search and 14 hand-picked articles, 7 studies met the inclusion criteria. Of these 7 studies, 3 were randomized controlled trials, 2 were quasi-experimental studies with a pretest, post-test design and control group, and 2 were mixed-method studies. Overall, these research studies found that mindfulness interventions significantly decreased negative mental health symptoms in nursing students such as anxiety, stress, and depression. Though the results of these studies support the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions as a means of improving mental health symptoms, many of these studies lack generalizability and possess small sample sizes leading to insufficient statistical power. Though more randomized controlled trials with sufficient power and well-executed designs must be conducted, initial research suggests that interventions rooted in mindfulness may improve the negative mental health symptoms of undergraduate nursing students.

Defender Jose Enrique believes Liverpool are good enough to secure Champions League qualification this season and re-establish themselves as one of Europe's top sides.
The Reds could move level with fourth-placed Chelsea with a win over Newcastle on Friday.
And despite drawing six of their nine home games and scoring just 21 times in the league - Enrique is encouraged by the progress being made, and said: "I think we can do better, I think we can be in the Champions League positions."
The summer signing, who is set to face his former club, added: "But the league is so hard because Manchester City and Manchester United are better than us.
"I think in the summer we started to sign players again and spend a lot of money and I think this club in the future will become one of the best again.
The Spaniard had four good years in the north-east, one of which was spent in the second tier of English football after relegation in 2009.
And despite criticising the club for their lack of ambition after selling the likes of Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan, Enrique believes he paid his dues in full to the Magpies.
"I hope they (the fans) understand," said the 25-year-old. "I gave 100% and no-one can say anything different.
"I played in the Championship for them when they dropped down because I thought it was my mistake too. I had some very good moments there. I wish them the best because they have amazing fans there and it is an amazing city.
"But you cannot say no when a team like Liverpool comes for you. We are maybe not in the best position now but it one of the best teams in Europe."

defender jose enrique believes liverpool are good enough to secure champions league qualification this season and re-establish themselves as one of europe's top sides.
the reds could move level with fourth-placed chelsea with a win over newcastle on friday.
and despite drawing six of their nine home games and scoring just 21 times in the league - enrique is encouraged by the progress being made, and said: "i think we can do better, i think we can be in the champions league positions."
the summer signing, who is set to face his former club, added: "but the league is so hard because manchester city and manchester united are better than us.
"i think in the summer we started to sign players again and spend a lot of money and i think this club in the future will become one of the best again.
the spaniard had four good years in the north-east, one of which was spent in the second tier of english football after relegation in 2009.
and despite criticising the club for their lack of ambition after selling the likes of andy carroll and kevin nolan, enrique believes he paid his dues in full to the magpies.
"i hope they (the fans) understand," said the 25-year-old. "i gave 100% and no-one can say anything different.
"i played in the championship for them when they dropped down because i thought it was my mistake too. i had some very good moments there. i wish them the best because they have amazing fans there and it is an amazing city.
"but you cannot say no when a team like liverpool comes for you. we are maybe not in the best position now but it one of the best teams in europe."

This page is related to Data-driven widgets and was updated for Elementi 2018 - the information below might not apply for older versions.
There are five types of table widgets: Table, Horizontal Table, Vertical Table, Grouped Table and Daily Events. The last four have been added in Elementi 2016.
The table widgets display slides composed of multiple cells of text & media layers, which are automatically filled out with data retrieved from a data source (e.g., RSS feed, CSV file, calendar etc.). Depending on the widget configuration, multiple cells (thus multiple sets of data) can be displayed on the same slide. The slides are displayed one after another, with or without a transition effect in between, similarly to a playlist.
The cell layout is composed of text & media layers, that should contain one or more data placeholders (e.g., [[title]], [[description]] etc.), which are automatically filled out with data retrieved from the data source when the widget is running.
The "Table" widget displays each set of data retrieved from the data source using a cell layout, which is controlled by the user from the Preview panel (mostly for design changes) and / or from the "Layers" tab in Edit panel (gives access to all the layer properties).
Click the button to edit the properties related to the data source from where the items are retrieved.
Enter the number of seconds each slide is displayed on the screen.
Click on the button to select a transition effect and its properties.
Select whether the widget ends after the last slide or loops to the first one.
Enter the number of rows of data to display on a single slide.
Enter the number of columns of data to display on a single slide.
Enter the number of seconds to wait before displaying the next cell / row / column of data.
It is now possible to add, remove, modify the position / size of the selected layer. If it's a text layer, it can also be edited.
Click the play button to resume the playback and display the actual content of the data feed.
Click the "Layers" tab to list all the layers composing the slide.
Click the button (it opens the "Layer Properties" dialog) and edit that layer properties. Click the "OK" button to apply the changes.
The "Horizontal Table" widget displays one or more columns of data (as specified on the "Properties" tab), where each column can be made of one or more rows (as configured under the "Rows" tab in Edit panel).
Enter the number of seconds to wait before displaying the next column of data.
Enter the padding to add between columns / rows, either as an absolute number of pixels or as a percentage from the column width / row height.
the row content as text or media layers, with references to data placeholders.
For each layer, click the button to open the "Layer Properties" dialog and edit the properties of that layer; click the "OK" button to apply the changes.
The "Vertical Table" widget displays one or more rows of data (as specified on the "Properties" tab), where each row can be made of one or more columns (as configured under the "Columns" tab in Edit panel).
Enter the number of seconds to wait before displaying the next row of data.
the column content as text or media layers, with references to data placeholders.
The "Grouped Table" widget displays one or more rows or columns of data (depending on the "Orientation" and "Items per group" properties), where each row / column contains only data from a certain data group, and optionally an extra row / column having the group header.
The "Grouped Table" widget can be found only in Spreadsheets and Data Feeds folders under "Widgets" tab within the Browse panel.
Select between "Horizontal" and "Vertical".
Enter the name of the column which values are to be used to form groups of data.
Enter the groups to keep from the result set, separated by comma; leave it empty to keep all groups.
Enter the number of items of data to display on a single slide.
Set the layout for displaying the grouped data.
Enter the number of seconds to wait before displaying the next group of data.
Enter the number of seconds to wait before displaying the next item in a group of data.
Select whether to show the group headers.
Enter the size of the header layer as a number or percentage of the table height (for vertical) or width (for horizontal).
Set the layout for displaying the group headers.
The layout of each data cell is controlled with a text or media layer under the "Content" property, while for the group header layout, there is another layer under "Headers" > "Header". These layer should contain one or more data placeholders.
To edit any of these layers, click the button to open the "Layer Properties" dialog and edit the properties of that layer; click the "OK" button to apply the changes.
The "Daily Events" widget, a variant of the Grouped Table, displays a limited number of events, grouped by weekday of up to maximum 10 consecutive days - by default, up to three events for the next three days, including today, are shown.
The "Daily Events" widget can be found only in Calendars folder under "Widgets" tab within the Browse panel.
Click the button to edit the properties related to the data source from where the items are retrieved. By default, the events for the next three days, including today, are shown.

The 2018 Trails4Transplants trail ride commenced May 20th in Wadena, MN and concluded 317 miles later in Rochester, Minnesota. The purpose of the ride was to raise awareness for the need of organ, eye, and tissue donors, and to raise funds to assist organ transplant recipients. This was the sixth leg of the planned 2,000 mile trek, and marked 2,024 miles completed.
Over the course of the last six years, over 42,000 horse & rider miles were logged during the 93 days in the saddle. Over $225,000 was raised during that time period. All funds raised will be targeted to specific projects that assist organ transplant donors and recipients. No funds are used for administrative labor, and all participants are non-paid volunteers.
The communities along the routes rolled out the red carpet for the group, providing evening meals, staging areas, entertainment, and donations. County Fairboards and County Commissions allowed the group to stay at their facilities along the way. Co-founders and co-chairs, Ashley Peterson and Roger Hille express their gratitude for riders, support staff, and the community support that contributed to the tremendous success of the endeavor.

Londis is investing £4 million in its fresh food expansion this year.
A major part of this investment is in the supply chain and for the first time ever the entire Londis fleet will have full chilled capacity, enabling the group to supply all Londis retailers with the full fresh range.
This will ensure that all fresh products are delivered to Londis retailers with guaranteed quality and best in class code life. Delivering maximum freshness, conveniently and efficiently is key to delivering a bigger fresh range that includes BBQ products, fresh meat, poultry, fish and bagged salads.
Having already invested in new supply chain systems this new fleet will further maximise fresh flow through, speeding up the journey from manufacturer, to depot, to shop, and ensure that retailers capitalise on shelf life, minimise wastage and manage their fresh offering effectively.
The multi-million pound 72 piece fleet offers a sound and ecological investment for Londis and completes the replacement of the 400-strong fleet operated by Musgrave Retail Partners GB for its Londis and Budgens stores. Musgrave partnered with Mercedes Benz for the tractors and rigid vehicles, which have the latest and most environmentally friendly Euro 5 compliant engines, meeting stringent emission standards and offering improved fuel efficiencies. The vehicle bodies have been sourced from a new business partner, Paneltex.
The new fleet will play a key part in saving over 2.25 million road miles this year with potential savings of 3,165 tonnes of CO2. The capacity for backhauling will also increase dramatically, from 3% three years ago to 25% at the end of 2011.
Says: Scott Wharton, Musgrave Retail Partners GB Supply Chain Director: "We can now offer Londis retailers a complete service for fresh produce and reduce the impact of our operations on the environment."
