Live 5 Gaming is a small independent developer that's based in Staffordshire in the UK and has released a number of innovative slot games to online and mobile casinos since they opened for business in 2015.
Although the range is still somewhat limited, they have concentrated on launching a small selection of high-quality games rather than lots of average ones and this has attracted casino operators who are looking to add unique slots to their ranges.
The company philosophy states that they aim to provide unique slot games for players who are tired of the same old features and styles provided by many other developers. They also strive to deliver games to partner sites on time and to develop close relationships with casino and gaming platform operators.
So far, Live 5 Gaming slots have been taken up by sites such as Gala Bingo, Mecca Bingo and Sky Vegas, while they have worked with game developers including Leander Games, Blueprint Gaming and NYX to bring quality slots to the market.
The collection includes Out of this World, which sees a cartoon Alien Pharaoh invading the reels, plus Stairway to Heaven, where angels and devils award free spins with multipliers as players ascend the stairs to the Pearly Gates.
In The Sky's The Limit, airline stewardesses help passengers to free games, while a Suitcase bonus awards multipliers, guaranteed winning spins or entry to further bonus rounds.
This growing collection of UK and Alderney Gambling Commission licensed games can now be played across mobile and desktop platforms.

Whether continue L&T Tax Advantage Fund?
Q & A Forum › Category: Mutual Fund › Whether continue L&T Tax Advantage Fund?
It is an average fund. I don’t think a great consistent performer. I suggest you the funds like Franklin India Tax Shield or Axis Long Term Equity over this fund. However, you can stop the SIP in this fund. Start new in any of my recommended funds. Once the lock-in over in the existing one, then you can move either to the said funds or into a well diversified funds.
Thank-You so much Basunivesh, for your inputs and the explanation.

IMPAQ works to improve the quality of education and advance education reform. We remain dedicated to providing administrators, teachers, students, parents and communities with the resources they need to be successful.
Our goal is to make children happier, safer, and more successful, ultimately bringing a brighter future to them and their families. Below are a few examples of IMPAQ’s work in International Education.
In response to the low levels of literacy in some regions of Senegal, the World Bank (WB) and the Senegalese Ministry of Education (MoE) created a comprehensive government strategic plan to improve school governance and increase equity and access to formal education (Programme pour l’Amelioration de la Qualité et de l’Equité pour l’Education de Base, or PAQEEB).
Ensure that students achieve learning results as measured by indicators of proficiency in reading and math.
IMPAQ is conducting an impact evaluation of the Grants for Results component of PAQEEB. The goal is to determine if providing basic education through private, faith-based organizations is an effective tool to reach and increase the educational outcome of marginalized children who are disconnected from formal public schooling for cultural reasons.
Identify lessons learned and recommendations for future programming.
IMPAQ is conducting a Baseline for Counterpart’s Food for Education Saint Louis Project funded by the USDA, using a mixed-method design to produce an information base against which to monitor and assess the program’s progress and effectiveness. This includes collecting education, health, and nutrition data on 1,080 primary school students, 1,440 mothers, and 390 teachers. IMPAQ will conduct key informant interviews and focus group discussions with key project stakeholders and beneficiaries to identify best practices and lessons learned for future interventions. In addition, IMPAQ is working closely with Counterpart to establish a rigorous, meaningful, and cost-effective program monitoring and evaluation system.

The GRAPH’IT colour chart becomes infinite with the Mix’it by GRAPH’IT marker palette!
The essential accessory for mixing!
The Mix’it pallet is a translucent sheet made of a non-porous, tear-resistant synthetic material. Because this paper retains the ink from the markers and is waterproof. It is the perfect tool for mixing alcohol-based markers or water-based markers.
Use your Blender GRAPH’IT marker as a brush: work on your colours until you obtain the desired shade, then pick up the mix with the blender and apply it on your drawing. You can also just pick up a single colour to create shadings.
Because the colour stays on the surface of the non-porous palette, you can go back to a colour months later and reactivate it with the blender.
The use of the Blender is ideal for detail work and shadow retouching in particular. Blender mixes can be used to obtain pastel or extremely light shades. In this way, traditional gradients can be better mastered beforehand on pallets and then applied on paper.
Mix’It also allows you to archive your own colours: even when dry, the mixes can be reactivated simply by using the Blender. In this way, the shades created can be preserved and re-used.
The GRAPH’IT colour chart no longer has any limits! Easily create new shades of tints according to your desires with this palette.
Reusable, the palette can be cleaned with alcohol or with the Mix’it Fluid.

Nama Venkateswwaralu, Yeswanth (2014). Theorizing accounting and other [calculative] practices in private equity:Experimenting with Schatzki’s ‘site’ ontology. PHD thesis, Aston University.
This thesis contributes to social studies of finance and accounting (Vollmer, Mennicken, & Preda, 2009) and the practice theory literatures (Feldman & Orlikowski, 2011) by experimenting (Baxter & Chua, 2008) with concepts developed by Theodore Schatzki and demonstrating their relevance and usefulness in theorizing and explaining accounting and other organizational phenomena. Influenced by Schatzki, I have undertaken a sociological investigation of the practices, arrangements, and nexuses forming (part of) the social ‘site’ of private equity (PE). I have examined and explained the organization of practices within the PE industry. More specifically, I have sought to throw light on the practice organizations animating various PE practices. I have problematized a particular aspect of Schatzki’s practice organization framework: ‘general understanding’, which has so far been poorly understood and taken for granted in the accounting literature. I have tried to further explore the concept to clarify important definitional issues surrounding its empirical application. In investigating the forms of accounting and control practices in PE firms and how they link with other practices forming part of the ‘site’, I have sought to explain how the ‘situated functionality’ of accounting is ‘prefigured’ by its ‘dispersed’ nature. In doing so, this thesis addresses the recent calls for research on accounting and control practices within financial services firms. This thesis contributes to the social studies of finance and accounting literature also by opening the blackbox of investment [e]valuation practices prevalent in the PE industry. I theorize the due diligence of PE funds as a complex of linked calculative practices and bring to fore the important aspects of ‘practical intelligibility’ of the investment professionals undertaking investment evaluation. I also identify and differentiate the ‘causal’ and ‘prefigurational’ relations between investment evaluation practices and the material entities ‘constituting’ those practices. Moreover, I demonstrate the role of practice memory in those practices. Finally, the thesis also contributes to the practice theory literature by identifying and attempting to clarify and/or improve the poorly defined and/or underdeveloped concepts of Schatzki’s ‘site’ ontology framework.

So today's outfit seems to be a combination of what I've worn over the last week. I tend to get into a terrible routine of wearing something once, then not wearing it again for a year. So I'm now trying to re-use pieces from my wardrobe more often, and work out what can be styled with something different to make a whole new outfit.
The problem with buying a bright pink coat is that it's really obvious when you wear it over and over again and you then get bored of it easily. Lucky for me, this jacket was a bargain from Primark, so it's ok if I only wear it for this winter and get bored of it quickly. I'm sure I will pop in on Ebay soon enough!

Michael L. Corbat, CEO of Citi, write an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, "America Has a Surplus in Services." He says that arguments about the balance of trade often focus only on goods. That misses half the equation.
Last year the U.S. trade surplus in services came to more than $250 billion, brining the total trade deficit down to around $550 billion. the Economic Report of the President issued in February put it this way: "Focusing only on the 'trade in goods along ignores the United States' comparative advantage in services, which rose as a share of U.S. exports to 33.5 percent through 2017."

Will Election Hacking Split NATO?
NATO’s Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Sir Adrian Bradshaw, has reportedly suggested that NATO may consider Russian interference in upcoming European elections as an attack triggering collective defense measures. Such a move could put NATO and its member states at odds with the United States, which carefully avoided calling Russian interference in the U.S. election even a violation of international law. It would also leave the United States with a difficult choice of potentially changing its view of the legality of election interference or contradicting the legal views of its NATO allies.
NATO’s founding treaty states in Article 5 that NATO members “agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all” and that “if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence” will assist the victim state. In a 2014 summit declaration, NATO governments made clear that cyberattacks could trigger collective self-defense under Article 5 and explained that a decision to invoke NATO’s collective defense obligations would occur “on a case-by-case basis.” According to The Independent, Bradshaw suggested that election interference may be such a case, explaining that “allegations of interference in American and European elections and an international disinformation campaign could cause the definition of an ‘attack’ to be widened” for purposes of Article 5.
“Armed attack” is a high threshold under international law, and as Ryan Goodman has explained, Russia’s interference in the U.S. election did not reach that level. Maybe a future cyberattack on election infrastructure could. But Bradshaw may have meant not that future election interference was likely to constitute an armed attack, but rather that NATO states should respond collectively to hostile actions below the armed attack threshold.
The continuing fears about Russian interference in upcoming European elections lend urgency to the need for state-to-state discussions about how to characterize election interference as a matter of international law. The United States—or at least the Obama Administration—staked out its position, but other states should weigh in and work toward a consensus among allies. Academics can continue to spar, but it is state practice that will and must settle the debate.

Now that I’m in between starts, it may seem to the naked eye that I would have nothing to do. Wrong. Besides my bullpen session 2 days after I pitch, there is plenty of other things us starters have to do to prepare for the next start and recover from the last one. I’m going to run you through the not-so-simple 5-day routine of a starting pitcher.
Day 1: Day after gameday. Stretch and throwing program to start off the day. After stretch, batting practice will begin. As the pitcher in last night’s game, I will be assigned to the “bucket.” Not a glamorous job. You stand behind a screen beyond 2nd base and receive the balls that are shagged by everyone else. When the bucket fills up, you run in the bucket to the coach throwing BP and empty it. This is a dangerous time since you have to be aware of any screaming line drives the hitter in the cage is delivering your direction. During batting practice, I need to get my running done. Day 1 includes the longest of the runs. Usually I have 1 triple pole and 1 double pole followed by a quick abs series. I’m sure you’re asking what the heck is a triple pole?! A triple pole is a sprint-paced run from foul pole to foul pole along the warning track and back to the original foul pole. A double would be 2 poles. After this I go into the clubhouse and lift. Lifting isn’t too much since my wrist injury limits the number of things I can do in the weight room.
Day 2: Stretch and throwing program. Bullpen session. Today, I’ve got “Gassers.” I’m not sure exactly how long it is. I’m thinking about 60 yards. But, my job today is to sprint up and back 6 times. 2 of those times I run up, back, up, and back.
Day 3: Stretch and throwing program. Agility running day. This means that I do short sprints and lateral running drills around cones. The day after a bullpen session is the second lifting day of the rotation.
Day 4: Stretch and throwing program. Running for today is very simple since tomorrow is gameday. So, I run 20-yard sprints 10 times. That’s it.
On a non-baseball note, I went to Spider-Man 3 today. My expectations were high. Usually, I’m right about my movies. Movies are as big a part of my life as baseball. That’s the truth right there. And I knew this movie was going to be good. As the opening credits rolled, anxiousness and excitement ran hand-in-hand. Yet, almost 3 hours later, as the final credits rolled, so did my eyes. I know I’m not a professional movie critic, but people who know me know that I may as well be one. But let’s get one thing straight. Movie critics never point out the positives. They only talk about the negatives. Sadly, there were plenty in SM3. What a corny mess it was. I felt like I was in a daycare center reading Red Rover. The movie’s main characters became so corny and overeager that it almost became annoying. The only thing that held the movie together was the seriously surprisingly and intense role Topher Grace played. His performance was real, and somehow the same guy from That 70’s Show pulled off an evil villain to perfection. Too bad he only appears for a small portion of the film when you look back at the overall picture. Anyway, go see it just to see it. But I give it 2 out of 5 stars. Sorry to the big Spidey fans. I will give it one thing. As usual, great special effects and Kirsten Dunst is always something nice to look at.
See you tomorrow when I talk about the long road to Cleveland.
Hey, Mike: I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll keep listening if you will just keep poitching the way you know how. It is a long season and all you need is your 1st of the season and it will be all downhill form there. Keep the positives flowing–we are.

Now that I ’m in between starts , it may seem to the naked eye that I would have nothing to do . Wrong . Besides my bullpen session 2 days after I pitch , there is plenty of other things us starters have to do to prepare for the next start and recover from the last one . I ’m going to run you through the not - so - simple 5 - day routine of a starting pitcher .
 Day 1 : Day after gameday . Stretch and throwing program to start off the day . After stretch , batting practice will begin . As the pitcher in last night ’s game , I will be assigned to the “ bucket . ” Not a glamorous job . You stand behind a screen beyond 2nd base and receive the balls that are shagged by everyone else . When the bucket fills up , you run in the bucket to the coach throwing BP and empty it . This is a dangerous time since you have to be aware of any screaming line drives the hitter in the cage is delivering your direction . During batting practice , I need to get my running done . Day 1 includes the longest of the runs . Usually I have 1 triple pole and 1 double pole followed by a quick abs series . I ’m sure you ’re asking what the heck is a triple pole ? ! A triple pole is a sprint - paced run from foul pole to foul pole along the warning track and back to the original foul pole . A double would be 2 poles . After this I go into the clubhouse and lift . Lifting is n’t too much since my wrist injury limits the number of things I can do in the weight room .
 Day 2 : Stretch and throwing program . Bullpen session . Today , I ’ve got “ Gassers . ” I ’m not sure exactly how long it is . I ’m thinking about 60 yards . But , my job today is to sprint up and back 6 times . 2 of those times I run up , back , up , and back .
 Day 3 : Stretch and throwing program . Agility running day . This means that I do short sprints and lateral running drills around cones . The day after a bullpen session is the second lifting day of the rotation .
 Day 4 : Stretch and throwing program . Running for today is very simple since tomorrow is gameday . So , I run 20 - yard sprints 10 times . That ’s it .

WHAT’S A BALKIN AND WHO ARE THE BUDDIES?
I’m the Balkin. Well, I’m one of them. I’m one of the Catherine Balkins. My mother was another one, but then a Catherine Balkin in Australiafound me on Facebook. We have no idea if we are related but we hope so, since we felt like sisters when we met during a trip she and her husband made to New York City.
I’m from Buffalo, New York originally, although I lived in New York longer than I lived in Buffalo (about 35 years). Still, that’s where my roots are and where my childhood memories live. Soon I’ll be living in Tampa, Florida, where the Balkin Buddies office will be a bit bigger.
Once upon a time, I worked in advertising, then in publishing. The place I worked at the longest was HarperCollins, where I spent nearly 15 years working with the legendary Bill Morris until he died in 2003. I used to set up author appearances in schools, libraries and at conferences, and handled all marketing activities and events related to HarperCollins' participation in library and educational conferences. If you've ever been to an ALA, IRA, NCTE, ALAN, or TLA, you've probably met me. While at HarperCollins, I also created the first publisher's electronic listserv dedicated to serving teachers and librarians, providing information on awards, authors and illustrators, and the Balkin Buddies blog (http://balkinbuddies.blogspot.com) is something of an extension of that.
Soon after Bill’s death, I started my own author appearance business and thus, Balkin Buddies was born. So I’m still arranging author appearances in schools, libraries and at conferences, and I also do a bit of consulting for various publishers from time to time and a bit of freelance work every now and then. But mainly I work directly with authors and artists, and they, of course, are the buddies. Some of them are old friends, some of them are new. All of them are wonderful, creative, fun, unique, and great with kids.
With the economic downturn, many Balkin Buddies authors and artists have also begun doing online chats via Skype or iChat. One university professor in Florida used Adobe Connect to have her distance learning students in Seattlechat with an author in Tennessee. Online chats are a good deal cheaper than onsite visits. The honorariums are much lower because there’s less preparation time for the author or artist, and there are no expenses like hotel bills, airfare, train fare, or even gas mileage for the hosting organization. You can find more information about this on the online chat page at the Balkin Buddies website (www.BalkinBuddies.com), where you’ll also be directed to other pages with even more details. However, if you prefer, you can just phone or email me (718 857 7605,catherine@balkinbuddies.com) and I’ll be happy to talk to you directly, but please wait till after August 11, as I’ll be in the moving process until then. In the meantime, you can learn more about me on my Facebook page, although I must warn you, there are a lot of pictures of my two parrots.
Occasionally, I give talks myself, sometimes about author appearances, sometimes about online chats, sometimes about specific subjects I’m asked to address. On November 19, 2011, I will be giving a presentation with an illustrator I represent (Jan Spivey Gilchrist) NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) and we’ll be discussing collaboration between writers and illustrators and she will give a brief illustrating workshop. On November 21, 2011 at ALAN (Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of NCTE), I’ll be on a panel with a writer and a couple of teachers discussing Skype chats.
Deirdra: Can you tell us a little about “Balkin Buddies,” and what your organization does for authors and readers?
Catherine: I set up on-site speaking engagements for about 75 authors and illustrators in schools and libraries and at festivals, conferences, university programs, and any other type of event where they would get paid. I also set up Skype chats for about 40 authors and illustrators in the same types of venues, and for several of them I also set up on-site engagements. I also partially represent a few extra authors and illustrators who basically set up their own speaking engagements but I promote them on my site. Each year, I go to library and educational conferences like ALA, NCTE, and ALAN to promote my business, plus I have a blog which is dedicated to spreading news about my authors and illustrators books and events.
Deirdra: Can you tell us about your experience working with HarperCollins?
Catherine: I was the director of library promotion in the children's book division of HarperCollins and worked with the legendary Bill Morris. I set up speaking engagements for Harper authors and artists (just like I do now at Balkin Buddies). I also published a listserv, of which my current blog is an off-shoot. I also handled all matters related to Harper's participation in library and educational conferences: organizing the booth and autographing sessions, planning author parties, breakfasts, dinners, etc., creating promotional materials for the conferences. Because I worked there for nearly 15 years and Bill was there for nearly 50, we were often the people to go to when no one else knew the answer or where to go to find it. Before HarperCollins, I worked at Macmillan -- the one that was taken over by Simon and Schuster, not the current version.
Deirdra: What is your favorite part of working with authors and illustrators?
Catherine: It's a very personal kind of business, and a lot of them have become good friends. And of course, we all have something in common: we love good books.
Catherine: I don't really know. A couple hundred maybe. I have built-in bookcases in at least two rooms because I find it hard to part with the ones I especially like.
Deirdra: What are the worst mistakes authors make while trying to promote their own books?
Catherine: Failing to learn about the industry is probably the biggest mistake. I advise authors and artists to join SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators: www.scbwi.org), which puts out an excellent newsletter and also offers writers' conferences that feature speakers from publishing industry. The CBC (Children's Book Council: cbcbooks.org) is another good place to go for information.
Deirdra: What advice would you have for traditionally published authors regarding promotion?
Catherine: Every author should have a website that includes a bio, an annotated list of their titles that includes the awards they know it has won, information on how to order their books, information about or a link to their publisher. If they are available for speaking engagements, I'd also suggest they include descriptions of the types of programs they do, how many programs they can do a day, and an honorarium range. I know many people don't like to list their honorariums, but it helps the teachers and librarians a lot to know this kind of information even before they contact you for a variety of reasons (the librarian might be writing a grant, for example, or a teacher may need to let the PTA know how much they need to raise). I'd also suggest contacting their local libraries, schools and bookstores to let them know they're available for speaking and/or autographing. If the author has a publicist at her publishing house, I'd suggest picking his or her brain; and if the house has someone who handles author visits, the author might want to contact that person, too, for the same reason.
Deirdra: What advice would you have for self-published or indie-published authors?
Catherine: To start, I'd suggest hiring an editor to make sure their books are ready for publication. There are some excellent freelance children's book editors available. Here are three: Deborah Brodie (http://deborahbrodie.com/FAQs.html), Emma Dryden of Drydenbks(http://www.drydenbks.com/home.html), Catherine Frank of Catherine Frank Editorial Services, LLC (http://www.editedbycatherine.com). For promotion, I'd suggest hiring a publicist. Here are two very good ones: Media Masters (www.mmpublicity.com and ask for Tracey Daniels or Karen Wadsworth), and Raab Associates (www.raabassociates.com and ask for Susan Raab). For speaking engagements and promotion, every author should have a website with the kind of information I mentioned in my answer to the question above, and, again as above, should contact local libraries, schools, and bookstores to let them know about their books and availability for speaking and/or autographing. Depending on their finances, it would be a good idea to attend some local state library or reading conferences. Also, to make sure their books gets some visibility at these shows like traditionally published authors, I would recommend contacting Combined Book Exhibit (www.combinedbook.com) to find out how much they would charge for various conferences. The contact there is Peter Birch and he'll be able to help the author choose which conferences would be the best venues for his or her book(s).
Contests or raffles – Come up with a contest or raffle (and be sure to base it on some aspect of your book), and publicize it on your website and/or blog, and put up flyers about it at local schools, libraries, and bookstores (be sure to get their permission first – you might even be able to enlist their help).
Set up a Google Alert for the title of your book and one for your name as well. Google will then alert you when it finds one or both on the internet. If the alert lets you know your book has been nominated for an award or received a good review, publicize this news via your website and/or blog and inform all the librarians, teachers, and booksellers you know.
Create bookmarks or postcards of your books (I’ve used 1-800-POSTCARDS.com and they’re quite helpful). Distribute them at conferences, bookstores, libraries, schools.
If you know parents on local PTAs, give them some of your bookmarks and find out if the school would like to have an author visit. If you are self-published, you might offer to do the visit for free if you can sell your books for autographing purposes.
Catherine: I don't really have a favorite kind of book -- or even a favorite age range. My tastes tend to be pretty eclectic. I read my authors' and illustrators' books, of course, and try to read those that have won major awards (Newbery, Caldecott, Printz, etc.), but I've always felt that books are like food. Sometimes I'm in the mood for fine dining (a Newbery winner), sometimes I'm in the mood for home cooking (a good midlist book), and sometimes I'm in the mood for junk food (the latest vampire book).
Catherine: My husband used to read books on his Palm, but the Palm is now a thing of the past so some of the books he bought, he had to buy again. When will Kindle or Nook become a thing of the past? How many times will you have to buy the same book? This is the question that bothers me. Plus, okay, I'm old fashioned. I like the way a book feels in my hands. I appreciate how a book is designed and bound. I love that the 1920s paperback copy of Wuthering Heights I found in my parents' attic when I was eight is still intact in my bookcase.
Catherine: Educate yourself as much as possible about publishing. Writing a book is only 10% of the work. Getting it published, getting it promoted, and keeping it in print is 90%.
Catherine: Yes, I have. It's hard.
Deirdra: What other talents and hobbies do you have?
Catherine: I have two parrots and, being a reader, I have read every book about them I could find. I am now somewhat knowledgeable about them.
Catherine: It used to be the subway. Now it's my living room.
Catherine: No, I don't like to get crumbs on my precious books.
Catherine: It's an honor to be in your company.
Great interview. Thanks so much Catherine for sharing all the useful contacts and your advice. You definitely have had a lot of experience in what you do. Good luck with your move.
Hey, thanks for this interview with an industry expert! I think most writers don't realize how much of the work comes after publication until they're published...er, at least I didn't. But then, I hadn't fully realized how much work went into kids either, haha.
Thank you for this treasure trove of great info. Great interview.
Thank you for dropping by my blog and leaving that lovely award.
And wow, lots of information available here, too. Interesting interview.
I enjoyed reading this- very informative and interesting! :) I also love your blog overall.
I'm now following you and definitely plan to visit often!
Great interview, very informative! Also interesting and I loved reading it. It was nice of you to visit mine. Your blog has won a spot on my list of "visit-daily" blogs. Thanks for sharing!
Was checking in for the Star Trek blogfest entry.
Terrific interview! She had the ideal job! I am always fascinated by author's stories and how they came to write.
Thank you for the award. It made my day. I have it on my sidebar and i also grabbed your button.
I enjoyed the interview. I do think she left off one important way to market your books and that is with the bloggers. I know I work hard when I really like a book and I know the author is Indie. I review the book. Use the book in memes, allow the author to do a guest post. I make sure to put my review every where I know the book is being marketed. I do giveaways and interviews. I tweet. I Facebook it and Good Reads it. I know other bloggers work just as hard to help a good book sell. Giving a few bloggers your book to review is a really good investment.

When will Kindle or Nook become a thing of the past ? How many times will you have to buy the same book ? This is the question that bothers me . Plus , okay , I 'm old fashioned . I like the way a book feels in my hands . I appreciate how a book is designed and bound . I love that the 1920s paperback copy of Wuthering Heights I found in my parents ' attic when I was eight is still intact in my bookcase .
 Catherine : Educate yourself as much as possible about publishing . Writing a book is only 10 % of the work . Getting it published , getting it promoted , and keeping it in print is 90 % .
 Catherine : Yes , I have . It 's hard .
 Deirdra : What other talents and hobbies do you have ?
 Catherine : I have two parrots and , being a reader , I have read every book about them I could find . I am now somewhat knowledgeable about them .
 Catherine : It used to be the subway . Now it 's my living room .
 Catherine : No , I do n't like to get crumbs on my precious books .
 Catherine : It 's an honor to be in your company .
 Great interview . Thanks so much Catherine for sharing all the useful contacts and your advice . You definitely have had a lot of experience in what you do . Good luck with your move .
 Hey , thanks for this interview with an industry expert ! I think most writers do n't realize how much of the work comes after publication until they 're published ... er , at least I did n't . But then , I had n't fully realized how much work went into kids either , haha .
 Thank you for this treasure trove of great info . Great interview .
 Thank you for dropping by my blog and leaving that lovely award .
 And wow , lots of information available here , too . Interesting interview .
 I enjoyed reading this- very informative and interesting ! :) I also love your blog overall .
 I 'm now following you and definitely plan to visit often !
 Great interview , very informative ! Also interesting and I loved reading it . It was nice of you to visit mine . Your blog has won a spot on my list of " visit - daily " blogs . Thanks for sharing !
 Was checking in for the Star Trek blogfest entry .
 Terrific interview ! She had the ideal job ! I am always fascinated by author 's stories and how they came to write .
 Thank you for the award . It made my day . I have it on my sidebar and i also grabbed your button .
 I enjoyed the interview . I do think she left off one important way to market your books and that is with the bloggers . I know I work hard when I really like a book and I know the author is Indie . I review the book . Use the book in memes , allow the author to do a guest post . I make sure to put my review every where I know the book is being marketed . I do giveaways and interviews . I tweet . I Facebook it and Good Reads it . I know other bloggers work just as hard to help a good book sell . Giving a few bloggers your book to review is a really good investment .

LinkedIn’s extensive database, coupled with Microsoft’s insights from Microsoft 365, positions the company to enhance machine learning and predictive capabilities going into the future, according to Nadella.
Industry thought leaders indicated the deal benefits both companies, particularly because of LinkedIn’s business database.
Consolidation could continue with the possibility of more Microsoft acquisitions. Microsoft was recently named as one of the companies in the running to potentially buying Marketo, which was acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1.79 billion in May. Microsoft’s hat was also thrown into the ring as a potential buyer when rumors started circling about Salesforce looking to sell.
With the acquisition of LinkedIn, industry experts noted that the possibility of Microsoft acquiring Salesforce is no longer likely.
Microsoft will likely continue to evaluate acquisitions in the future, according to Mary Shea, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research. "That said they have been very strategic with the Lynda.com and now LinkedIn deals. If you buy the combined total addressable market of $ 315B for the LinkedIn/Microsoft entity then there is more than enough market opportunity as well integration and execution challenges for Microsoft to focus on in the near and mid-term to fully maximize the potential of the LinkedIn deal.
Shea added that the LinkedIn acquisition is a huge boon for Microsoft. "Microsoft has already been enjoying some good market traction with Dynamics, and now with the LinkedIn asset Microsoft will have more arrows in its quiver — in and above price — to compete head to head with Salesforce in the enterprise CRM space."
She suggests that, down the road, therer is a possibility for Microsoft to acquire one of the leading sales enablement players. "Perhaps one of the content management platforms that utilize machine learning to push relevant content to B2B sellers at the right point in the cycle and provide other guided selling capabilities."

Here’s a recent chat we had with James Sutherland, owner of 56 North, a gin and cocktail bar located in Edinburgh.
A: First tried it at the 2016 Juniper Gin Festival, then met with Karen and Nathan to help with the tonic launch.
A: Friendly and easy to deal with. They want to sell nice products to nice people and are always enthusiastic and keen to work with others. The story of the brand and how it’s back is the very sort of thing I love in the drinks industry.
Q: What’s your favourite flavour?
A: The tonic is the key one for me. It’s light, fresh and works well with a wide variety of great gins.
Q: Favourite way to drink/pair Bon Accord?
A: Good gin, loads of ice, big goblet and then a bottle of the tonic. I’ve got so many gins to play with the sky’s the limit!

Filter medias have openings through which air and fluid passes. If the particles in the flow stream are larger than the pores or openings in the filter medium, they will be removed as a result of direct interception by the holes.
Particles in the air stream have mass and velocity, as the air stream passes through a filter media, the air diverts around the fiber, however because the particles tend to move in a straight line, those particles located at or near the center of the flow line will stick or impact upon the fiber and be removed.
In this process, particles are on a collision course with flow stream molecules. These frequent collisions cause the suspended particles to move in a random fashion around the fluid flow lines, which increases the likelihood of contacting the fiber surface and being removed.
Sieving is a simple technique for separating particles of different sizes. For example when a particle is too large to fit between the media fiber spaces.

We love granola! You can sprinkle it on yoghurt, ice cream, fruit, porridge – or simply have a spoonful as an afternoon snack. Plus, instead of adding any type of sugar, we’ve swapped it for Praline Nut Butter, which adds a rich roasted pecan flavour and gives this recipe a naturally low sugar content.
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with foil.
2. Gently heat the coconut oil in a saucepan until a liquid forms. Stir in the cinnamon and nut butter until well combined.
3. Add the oats, pecans, almonds and pumpkin seeds to the saucepan. Mix everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated.
5. Pour the granola onto the baking tray and pop it in the oven for 25 minutes, stirring half way through.
6. Let it cool before transferring it into an air-tight container; and add the raisins into the mix (if using).
This recipe can also act as a crumble topping; simply scatter on top of stewed apples and serve with Hot Vanilla Cashew Custard. Enjoy!
