Crimes of Passion may have been where Crocodiles became a great pop band; Boys is where they solidify that position and really start to have some fun with it.
T
Close, but no cigar, then - there's enough here, though, to suggest this should prove nothing more than a blip in the long run.
It’s almost as if the first half of the album is comprised of songs that Crocodiles had finished writing by the time they got to the studio, and the second half is all of the stuff that they came up with while they were there. And this exploratory spirit is where Boys finds its strength.
If Boys showcases anything, it's that Crocodiles have moved past simply aping their biggest influences for all they're worth to become impressively symbiotic with distortion driven-rock music.
Following through on an album narrative isn’t necessarily important, but when that narrative is the main thing that makes an album interesting, it’d be best if it were more visible.
It’s not enough to make an album that blends inoffensively into the background. Psychedelia is supposed to be mind-bending, not just some minor flavouring to add to your very average indie-pop songs.
JAMC influences are strong in this one, but that's ok with me.

…on your wondrous works, I will meditate. (Psalm 145)
What kind of friend would we like God to be? The friend who goes with the flow, or the friend who keeps us on scheduleHowever, I do have a thought about our side of the relationship with our Creator. Regardless of our personalities, we could benefit from being in the moment with the One who loves us.
Our lack of attention to the present is both a symptom and a cause of our disconnected relationship with God. How do we start paying attention? It would be great to have hours for quiet prayer each day, but for your average young adult, taking that much time would only result in feeling further behind. Try one of these two options as a different way of using the moments you are given.
- Take a break from the clock. Some people are always worried about their next appointment, or traffic, or being late. If you are one of those people, scheduling time for prayer or meditation will be tough, because you will be worried about ending on time. Try this instead: go to a church service or holiday choir concert, and show up really early. Sit and listen to the choir practice before worship, or sit quietly in the sanctuary. You’ll get a good parking space (hey – I know your type!), and you’ll feel secure, knowing that even if you lose yourself in prayer you won’t be late for the main event.
- Take a break from tasks. Some people are not so worried about time, but are concerned about getting everything done. If this applies to you, prayer may feel like another chore on your long to-do list. Here’s an idea for you: say you wake up on a Saturday and have a big pile of dirty clothes. Do laundry for exactly 30 minutes or 1 hour, and then stop. Take a 30such as reading or going for a run. (Exercise and reading are probably on your to-do list anyway!) Then go back to your laundry for a set period of time. This is how some monasteries are run: each monk does a task for a certain period of time, and leaves when the time is up. The next monk picks up where the last one left off, and somehow it all gets done.
Finally, regardless of what you do for your prayer time, try to share the wealth and be fully present in the moment with a friend.Lr’s, your master’s, perhaps an additional master’ “continuing education.” Pastors’ You’re’r’, “Read two chapters and call me in the morning.” Em

Q: You have writtenPlease tell our readers where you learned to write?
A: I left school to become a joiner/carpenter, met my wife while repairing windows at the school where she taught and got married nine months later with our only daughter, Jenny, already on the way. We bought an old house and during evenings, holidays and weekends tore the old house apart and remade it to suit us, doing it all myself over a two-year period. I then joined the Post Office which allowed me to both be a part-time joiner, Regional Councillor/District Councillor and a Union rep, apart from being very active politically. Having retired from the Post Office at the same time as my wife, Ann, retired from education, I also managed to lose my Council seat and, with nothing much to do, decided to write a book as a way to usefully spend my time. The book took two years to research and write, and I recovered my Council seat shortly before it was published. At the beginning of my authorship, relatives would ask solicitously, "And what are you doing now?" and, on getting an unexpected answer, replied, "Ah, yes, a book…a book."
Q: What was it about James Keith that made you want "to restore him to his rightful place as one of Scotland's "greatest soldiers and greatest men"?When did you first decide to set out on this task, chose James Keith because his story had never been written and, since I don't read fiction, there was no way I could bring myself to write it. Besides, it seemed at that time most of the research would be a simple matter to put together (Just how wrong can you get things?
A: Field Marshal James Keith was born and brought up just some two miles from where I live and, incredibly, Tsar Peter the Great of Russia had another soldier who was born just some five miles from where I live as his right hand man…
A: I suppose everyone at some time or another feels they have a book to write, a story to tell. My advice is to just get on with it and don't be distracted or put off from the task by either a seemingly blank wall in the research or the relatives who look knowingly at each other across the room and murmur, "Ah, yes, of course, a book…

Susan Sarandon claims there are more Hollywood predators
Sarandon claims there are other Hollywood predators who haven't been exposed - including one who drugged his victims.
US actress Susan Sarandon. Picture: Facebook
LONDON - Susan Sarandon has claimed there are other Hollywood predators whose victims have not came forward because they are "worn out".
The Thelma & Louise actress has a friend who has already spoken out about an ordeal she's been through, but is too "worn out" to come forward again to tell her story of being taken advantage of by another insider.
Sh"So.
""..S"
She said: "Everybody did give Harvey.'."
Susan is currently promoting Bombshell, a documentary she's co-produced about actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr - who was dubbed the most beautiful woman in film andwas fascinated by how cruel Hollywood was to the subject.
She said: "I was preparing [to play] Bette Davis (in FX series 'Feud'), who also had similar problems with the studio and faced similar problems as she got older, and it's certainly familiar grounds still for me."

. And actually before we launch into that I would love to say one thing. You know, occasionally I hear from folks that they. And I want to say at least from leadership’s perspective we won, warts and all, a, if you have concerns and you want to share them please come to the is going to shout you down. We’re there to listen.
Chris: And even if it’s difficult to do that, and it may be difficult to do that in meetings where the majority feels like they’re on the other side, secret ballot. Vote your conscience and your heart. We don’t know who votes which way. And an honest vote from our membership tells us what to do.
John: 100%. All right. Let’s get to these questions. So Marv Boogie writes, “Why did it take 42 years to renegotiate the ATA agreement?” Chris Keyser, why did it take this long? 42, 43 years. Why did we wait so long?
Chris: Well, it’s a complicated answer. I think it has mostly to do with the fact that the Writers Guild has a lot on its plate. Every three years we have to renegotiate the MBA. And that’s a thing that happens over the course of a couple months, but the preparation for it – and when I say the preparation, not just the preparation that has to be done by the staff and the negotiating committee, but the preparation to get the membership ready to think about that is long. It can be over a year.
When you think about what the cycle looks like when that happens and then you think about where the Writers Guild membership is, whether that membership is engaged enough to be called into action more than once in a three-year cycle. It has taken us a long time to get to the place where we could do that. I mean, to be honest with you I and 2008. That was absolutely necessary. And the benefits that we have reaped from our jurisdiction over the Internet I think are being felt by almost all writers today. I can’t remember what percentage of our income comes from that, but it has taken a little while to understand exactly why that was important. But it took a really great toll on the guild. There were people who were angry about it in the moment. There were people who suffered from the strike because strikes can be cruel things.
It took a lot of years for people to say we’re back in a place where we’re going to fight together in a place of unanimity. And I think the guild leadership after a lot of decades began to feel through 2017, the 2014 negotiations the guild was in a place where it could do that. We had the kind of staff that was prepared and so we saw this opening between 2017 and 2020 and thought we’d go for it.
It’s not that we didn’t care. It. And then on the other side business has changed. The business has changed so that the agency business is now dominated by four agencies, small oligopoly. They have overwhelming percentage of the market share. And their control over that and packaging and the assessment of packaging fees had made this a question that we have to answer now. That’s thing two. Thing three. I probably should have identified it which is we are not going after packaging fees and other conflicts of interests just because we’re on a moral crusade. We’re going after those things because it has an economic impact on writers.
And it has been in the last decade that we’ve seen writers’ salaries plummet. So we’re in a very special, and I’m sorry for going on for a long time, but it matters to understand this, special moment in the business where, one, the studios who make our product be accessibility of our product, their profits have doubled in the last ten years. They make $50+ billion every year. They’re doing really well.
The agencies, those big four agencies, because of the money, the influx of money from packaging feesenormous influx of capital. So we know those agencies, indirectly we know this because their books are closed,profits. So agencies are doing well.
And at the same time writers’ salaries have gone down 23% in the last two years, double digits over the last decade. That is the contrary to the rules of economics. It ought not to happen that way and we had to look for a number of different causes for it. Some of them we’ve identified in our MBA negotiations. That’s why we negotiated, span a couple of years ago. And one of them is the fact that people who are supposed to be defending our above-scale income, the agencies, are failing in their jobs. So when you take the decline in writers’ salaries, the overwhelming control of the business that the agencies have, and a moment in time when the guild is powerful enough feels enough of a kind of common purpose to actually take on a battle like this that led us to this moment. That’s why.
Angelina: And I’d also say, this is my first term on the board. I’ve been a captain for ten years. And from my perspective, not having the sort of behind the scenes view that Chris does, this bubbled up from the membership. You know, I would go to membership meetings and it would come up unprompted. People would raise their hand and say what are we going to do about the agents.
And so the reality is this packaging money flowed in and then the private equity money flowed in. And then they stated these affiliate production arms. And now what we’re looking at is our agents being our bosses and I think writers started to feel the tension of that and the anxiety of what that future means. And they spoke up. And so while there were behind the scenes things happening as we investigate this, the membership was speaking very clearly about it as a problem and, again, we’re a democratic institution. We respond to the membership.
Chris: That’s really true. I mean, I was president for two terms as you said and we had a lot of membership meetings. And almost everything we’ve done over the last – and John you know this because you’ve been involved – almost everything that we’ve done from questions of Span which is how long writers need to work for a given episode, or issues of options and exclusivity which means how long writers are held without being paid in between seasons of shows, or forbidden to work on something else. All of that came from the membership. Every one of these questions came from outreach meetings in which members began to say here’s what’s affecting our bottom line.
John: Yeah. I would say the reason why it took 42 years for this to get renegotiated is as a person who is relatively well informed about the WGA business but was not on the board I didn’t even understand we had a relationship with the agents. I would complain about the agencies but I didn’t know that the WGA actually had a negotiated relationship with the agencies.
John: When writers would write in with questions and problems and would talk about horror stories and I would say why is your agent letting that happen it never occurred to me that the WGA could actually step in and do something about that.
The second answer is they started producing. And that to me is the biggest why now. Because I look five years, ten years down the road, I don’t want to be working for my agent.
Angelina: So we can’t say for sure right now, it’s going to depend on the strength of the vote. It’s going to depend on the factors on the ground. The board and negotiating committee will look at all the different factors and judge it accordingly, but we cannot pretend like there won’t be disruption if we ask the membership to walk away from their agents during staffing season. And we’ve really considered what we can do to mitigate that disruption. If the risk is worth the potential reward. And again we won’t be making that decision right now. We’ll make that decision when the vote comes in and we see how the agents respond. I mean, with everything we do they do something and we have to reorient our

What will TrueGREEN Lawn Care do for you and your lawn? Simply put, you know have a means to give your property and landscape a real finishing touch… A greatly improved lawn without the do-it-yourself troubles and efforts.
How will it happen? TrueGREEN’s custom lawn care programs are designed to develop your existing lawn to its fullest potential through your selected program of fertilization, weed control and insect management.
Through our unique application system, feedings are applied on a scheduled program throughout the growing season. Each feeding is specially formulated for the individual requirements needed by your property to promote thick, vibrant green lawn.
Broadleef Weed Control (All programs)
Nuisance weeds (bindii, clover, dandelion, etc.) which have an unsightly appearance, increase mowing frequency and deprive lawn grasses of nutrients and moisture are controlled and cleaned out.
Annual Grassy Weed Control (Premium and Premium Plus only)
Annual grassy weeds such as summergrass (or Crowsfoot) and Wintergrass are prevented prior to their lawn appearance by pre-emergent controls, greatly reducing competition and inconsistent appearance.
Lawn Insect Control (Premium and Premium Plus only)
In the Premium and Premium Plus programs, both preventive and curative controls are applied as needed, to control/reduce the wide variety of turf damaging insects (e.g. Black Beetle or Armyworm), which can devastate lawn areas.
Core Aeration (Premium Plus only)
A beneficial process of removing soil cores from your lawn is carried out annually. The core aeration process opens your lawns soil and thatch, creating an improved growing environment by reducing soil compaction and thatch, while also aiding the movement of nutrients, moisture and air in your lawn’s root zone, leading up to a healthier and more durable turf.
How about service, follow-up?
Nature is full of surprises. Weather and specific environment of your garden can cause unexpected pest problems. If this occurs or you just need some advice, simply call to schedule your Territory Manager who will gladly address these concerns. Our Mini and Maxi programs also have available a 21 day warranty after each service for broadleaf weeds. Best of all, our Premium and Premium Plus programs offer full year round service calls on their stated controls and it’s free of charge!
For a TrueGREEN Programmed Lawn & Landscape Care program to reach its full potential it requires a teamwork approach to your lawn. The above program ingredients certainly give your lawn a great benefit, however, much of it will be wasted unless recommended watering practices and mowing heights are followed and maintained. Should you have any queries regarding suggested recommendations please contact your Territory Manager.
For further information, please contact our office at 3841 5922 (Brisbane) or 1800 353 858 (Gold Coast, North Coast).

Japan Cabinet Approves Record Defense Budget in Face of China Threats
Dec 21 2020, 9:56 AM Dec 23 2020, 5:13 AM December 21 2020, 9:56 AM December 23 2020, 5:13 AM
(Bloomberg) -- Japan’s cabinet approved a record defense budget plan of about $51.6 billion for the coming year, in what will be the ninth consecutive increase in annual spending amid threats from China and North Korea.
Part of the money is set to go toward adding two Aegis-equipped destroyers. This would eventually bring Japan’s tally to 10 of the sea-based missile interceptors -- making it the largest fleet of the ships in the world after the U.S. Navy’s.
The ships come after Japan scrapped plans for a land-based Aegis missile defense system earlier this year amid local concerns about safety. North Korea, which sees Japan as a mortal enemy, since last year has unveiled a new arsenal of quick-strike, solid-fuel ballistic missiles, including rockets capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to most of its neighbor, weapons experts have said.

Japan will also develop a new, longer-range surface-to-ship missile, in a move that comes as its warships and those from China have sailed near each other off nations. Some 33.5 billion yen will go toward work on the missile, which has been criticized by some as a potential infringement of Japan’s pacifist constitution.
De plane will account for 57.6 billion yen of the budget.

A Human Rights First report found that roughly 100 people have died in U.S. custody since 2002. This number doesn't include accidents, external violence (such as bombs), or prisoner-on-prisoner violence. It does include the Iraqi guy who was forced by U.S. officers to jump off a bridge, the guy who was suffocated in a sleeping bag wrapped in an electrical wire and the guy who was stomped to death.
In only 12 of those cases has any punishment been handed out to the people responsible. The most severe punishment for torture? Five months in prison! And no one above the rank of major has been punished. Chief Warrant Officer Lewis Welshofer, the guy responsible for suffocating the man in the sleeping bag, wasn't even given a day of prison time, just a reprimand, a fine, and a 60-day restriction on his movement.The only possible rational conclusion is that the U.S. doesn't care much and doesn't care who knows it. This is a mistake, of course, not just morally and ethically, but also strategically. Between this and the Abu Ghraib photographs released last week; it would be the perfect time for the U.S. to at least make an effort at modelling responsibility and showing regret for these deaths.
Not a chance. Bryan Whitman, deputy Pentagon spokesman, described the report as “hogwash.†And Donald Rumsfeld just shrugged and saider." Only if by punished you mean promoted.

Boundary disputes, in their purest form, are very much about property law. One looks at the relevant conveyances and their plans, a measured site survey, an account of how boundary features came to be, and this allows a legal conclusion to be reached.
There are, however, serious problems with such harassment claims, which I wanted to discuss in an attempt to assist other dealing with them.
When neighbours fall out, objectivity goes out of the window. Every boundary dispute litigant I have ever acted for is convinced that they are entirely reasonable, and it is their neighbours who are the lying, scheming, conniving, vicious and unreasonable ones, enjoying nothing more than thinking of new ways to make my clients’ lives miserable. This is their genuinely-held but entirely subjective view. Their neighbours hold the same view, albeit from a diametrically opposite perspective. It is almost as if both sets of neighbours have donned a pair of boundary dispute glasses through which everything their neighbours do becomes negative. This is all a question of perception.
Any surveyor or litigator reading this and whose clients are demanding that such allegations are included in a claim should remember that whilst clients lose their objectivity, judges do not. I have lost count of the number of judges who have described harassment claims and counterclaims as “six of one and half a dozen of the other”. If it seems like a fuss about nothing to you, a judge will see it the same way.
Secondly, and this might be somewhat controversial, I would also advise that digitally-recording CCTV is installed, preferably directed primarily towards one’s own property, but covering any areas of actual or likely conflict. Although it is a common complaint by neighbours that CCTV has been installed which interferes with their privacy, my experience is that such complaints are rarely if ever upheld by the court, and, more importantly, the existence of CCTV both (1) acts as a deterrent to poor behaviour on the part of neighbours, and (2) can sometimes be very effective as evidence that an alleged incidenas alleged. I emphasise that CCTV is most useful to provide defensive evidence, and should be regarded as such, not as a method of collecting evidence to be used against the neighbour.

Atlantan Alfred Austell Cunningham was a foot soldier at the tender age of 16, called as a corporal with the 2nd Georgia Infantry Volunteers to serve in Cuba in 1899. Commissioned a Marine second lieutenant in 1909, he spent spare time tinkering with a primitive flying machine "Noisy Nan" which never made it off the ground, but Cunningham became the first Marine Corps aviator and a key figure in naval aviation history. Winning wings at the U.S. Navy Aviation Camp in 1912, he was at Guantanamo, Cuba within the year for the first Naval Aviation exercises with the fleet. Grounded in 1913 by love for his wife-to-be, Cunningham returned to the air in 1916 to become the first pilot to catapult off a moving ship, and the first Marine or Navy officer to take up land flying.
Alfred Austell Cunningham was enshrined May 18, 1991, a pioneer airman and the first United States Marine Corps pilot.

Joel 2:28 (NLTcts of the Apostles 2:17 (NLT) LET IT BE SO! </s> The program I’m doing has launched a competition of sorts, Thirty in Three. We’ve been paired up and challenged to lose, between both people on each team, thirty pounds in three months. In other words, 15 pounds per team member. If, however, each team member alone loses 30 pounds, they will receive a small discount on the cost of the program.
On the other hand, this contest seems to be about finding support for healthier decisions. It is designed to get us talking to each other, encourage each other to exercise, trying new recipes, etc. Given the parameters of our meal plans for the next three months, losing five pounds a month seems realistic. Ten pounds a month per person could still happen for the people who are a) male and b) are starting from a higher weight, but it probably won’t happen for me.
When I first heard we’d be competing, even a friendly competition, I was anxious that I’d get stuck with somebody not as motivated and would not win. That’s the dark side of competition for me, obviously—proactively worried I’d fail because I wouldn’t be able to control someone else.
Now, I’m worried (a small worry, more like a nagging concern) I’ll be the one slacking. My weight loss has started to slow already, although all things are relative. The average since June is still 2.6 pounds a week, but some of those July and August weeks were 3.5- and 4-pound weeks, and these days, they’re closer to 1 or 1.5.
Weight loss competitions can be fun but I find them way too stressful. I can’t always predict when my body will lose weight and I certainly can’t predict how fast.
I hope the competitor in you wont take over and drive you back to your high school days.
I thought about this more at the gym this afternoon. It helped to write down what I was thinking about the competition. I simply have to focus on myself. There’s nothing extra I can give these days to competition with others. I know myself well enough now that I could never go back to starving myself. I’m going to stick to my plan and support my partner, and if we miss out on winning because I didn’t lose enough weight and it is important to her, I’ll give her a gift card! </s> WSOP 2010: Elky Video Blog June 22nd

3,Suffering can be the source of great wisdom. The man in today’s gospel occupied his own special hell, separated from his community, ranting uncontrollably, and inflicting injury upon himself. But he had eyes to see Jesus and recognize in him the special attributes that set Jesus apart from other human beings. It is easy for us to dismiss the ravings of lunatics and diminish the torment of the mentally ill, but insight is sometimes available in the places we least expect it, and if our eyes are open like Jesus’, we will learn things we little expected from sources we discount.
Saint of the day: Alois Andritzki was the son of the teacher, school director, organist and cantor Johann Andritzki and his wife Magdalena. He was born born in Dreseden, Germany in 1914. He had two sisters and three brothers. Like Alois, his three brothers studied theology, and the youngest brother Alfonso, a Jesuit, was a soldier in the Second World War. From 1934 to 1938 he studied philosophy and theology at the Philosophical-Theological Academy Paderborn. Following his studies he lived in the Seminary of the Diocese of Meissen in Schmochtitz at Bautzen. On July 30, 1939 Alois Andritzki was ordained a priest by Bishop Peter Legge in St. Peter’s Cathedral. He celebrated his first mass on August 6, 1939 in his home town in Radibor. He was chaplain at the Catholic Hofkirche in Dresden and served as a youth pastor and prefect. Alois Andritzki was opposed to the Nazi Party and made the authorities uncomfortable because of his personal sincerity and negative attitude toward Nazi ideology. In lectures and in meetings he denounced the persecution of clergy, adherents of Nazism, and criticized the writings of the Nazi ideologues.
There initially was an attempt to intimidate him by interrogation. He was arrested him on January 21, 1941 by the Gestapo and brought for further interrogation on February 7. He was lodged in provisional detention in the remand prison in Dresden at the George-Bähr-Straße. In July 1941 he was accused in a Nazi court of “insidious attacks on the state and party,” and sentenced to a prison term of six months. Since he refused to cooperate with the Nazis, he was moved on October 2, 1941 from Dresden to the Dachau concentration camp. He was locked up with the other clerics in the priest block. Alois Andritzki received the prisoner number 27829. During his incarceration, despite the adverse conditions of detention, he endeavored to maintain his priestly life. With other priests he studied regularly the Scriptures and created with them a liturgy circle. In December 1942, typhus broke out among the malnourished prisoners as a result of poor hygienic conditions in the concentration camp. Shortly after Christmas 1942 Alois became ill. He entered the infirmary on January 19, 1943. During this time he was there along with the priest Hermann Scheipers for abdominal typhus. He died on February 3, 1943. He was beatified in 2011.

Bill would require Defense to explore new cybersecurity buys and tools
Obama Administration's National Cyber Plan Could Mean Big Business
The Probe Into When the OPM Hack Was Discovered Might Not be Solved After All
Hackers Remember Your MySpace Password, Steal from Military Base Exchanges, and Force Reddit to Reset Your Password
Why Car-Hacking Could Threaten the Federal Government Share this on Facebook
The Senate version of the fiscal 2011 Defense authorization bill scheduled to be released later this week will include funding for pilot programs that will explore new ways for Defense Department agencies and contractors to gain greater access to cybersecurity tools and services, according to sources from the Armed Services Committee.
A related program would explore ways that Defense could enter into contracts with one or more telecommunications companies to provide managed network security services to its industrial base. A military contractor could outsource security services to a company, which then would monitor the traffic flowing in and out of designated networks.
Two other programs in the bill would seek ways to improve how the department acquires and deploys cybersecurity tools. The first would explore more innovative and less onerous procurement models that Defense could use to quickly acquire the cyber tools and capabilities needed to respond to urgent threats against federal networks. The second would create a framework based on open standards that would integrate security tools from different vendors onto a single platform.
"The idea is to take a building block approach that allows any vendor to come in and integrate their tool into this standards-based framework," said the staffer, who pointed to the Security Content Automation Protocol, which tests computer networks and tools for compliance with a range of security standards, as a model for a framework.
The House version of the authorization bill, which passed on Friday, also charges Defense to explore new ways to address cybersecurity requirements by conducting a pilot program to test how computer security features can be built in to information systems during the development process. The bill would provide $5 million for the program, which would run until October 2015 and require the Defense secretary to submit an annual report on its progress to Congress.
Also in the House bill is a requirement for Defense to assess potential ways that modeling and simulation tools can be used to identify network vulnerabilities and deter malicious activities. The bill requires the Defense secretary to submi by Jan. 1, 2012, recommendations on how the tools could be used to strengthen cybersecurity.

From engineering to terrorism
Hailing from Dialpura Bhai Ka village in Bathinda district, Bhullar completed Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in the mechanical stream from Guru Nanak Engineering College, Ludhiana, in 1990. He joined as an instructor in a polytechnic college at Ludhiana, but had to resign due to ill-health. Then he shifted to Chandigarh and worked as an assistant engineer in a computer firm. In the early 1990s, during the days of terrorism in Punjab, he came into contact with terrorist Amarpal Singh.
Swayed by the militant ideology, he established links with Sikh hardliners such as Dr Sohan Singh, chief of Panthic Committee (Baba Sohan Singh), Daljeet Singh Bittu, Paramjeet Singh Panjwar, Daya Singh Lahoria and Manjinder Singh.
Bhullar was also in touch with radicals such as Gurjant Singh Budh Singh Wala, Navneet Singh Kadian, Pritam Singh Sekhon and Lakhbir Singh Rode. He joined the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) and assumed fake names such as Prof Saleem, Deepak, Sunil Kumar, Anil Aggarwal and Manish.
Bhullar married Navneet Kaur of Buraj Kahan Singh Wala village in Amritsar district in September 1991. Two years later, he triggered a car , a terrorist act that sealed his fate.
Dialpura Bhai Ka (Bathinda): Residents of Devinderpal Singh Bhullar's native village are in a state of shock and anger after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal f"What Bhullar did was in retaliation to the police action against his family," said his nephew, Ranjit Singh.

As the iPhone 13 takes its place as the iPhone everyone should buy, the question still arises: should I upgrade to the new iPhone, or should I keep my old one? To find out, I went back to a much older iPhone – the 2018 iPhone XR – for just over a week to see how well it would fare in 2021. When we looked at it, we got it. rented as the “budget” iPhone to buy. This device was loaned to me by the folks at Backmarket, so it’s a refurbishment without all the nicks and nicks you would get on an actively used phone.
The iPhone XR may be old now, but it’s an important iPhone that predated current iPhones like the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and the newer iPhone 13. It’s a phone that would be considered less than the “real” iPhone, but an iPhone nonetheless. Apple has tried this kind of non-standard iPhone model before with the SE and iPhone 5C. In many ways, the iPhone XR kicked off the standardization of the Apple lineup, and it also became one of the best-selling iPhones in its day. After use, this is no surprise.
The rounded corners, wide notch, and unique camera of the iPhone XR combine the aesthetics of the late 2010s iPhone with some of the older iPhone 6 style models. It’s a bit heavier than it should be, but the rounded corners mean it won’t dig into your fingers.
Inside there’s an A12 chip, the same 3GB of RAM found in the iPhone X, and a battery that lasts all day. It has a capacity of 2,942mAh at 100%, but with a used model you are probably going to see battery degradation. There’s only one 12-megapixel camera, so I had to stick with software for portrait mode and not even think about trippy wide-angle shots. The front camera is 7 megapixels, so it’s not the best either.
Most importantly, the iPhone XR worked. It was fast enough to complete all the tasks without me thinking “this is a 2018 phone”. The display, while poor on paper, was perfectly adequate and not at all offensive. I use a QHD display on my laptop and my cheapest Pixel has a Full HD OLED display, but I can understand why I still see so many XRs in London.
What really stood out to me was the battery life. IPhones have been criticized for having poor battery life in the past, but the XR really has good battery life, even at 90% capacity. I thought this would be one of those things where a phone rented for good battery life would struggle outside the competitive context of the day, but even now it holds up. A glance at one of AnandTech’s intensive battery tests tells me that the iPhone XR should outperform the Galaxy S21 and S20 + in terms of battery life. Apple has clearly been working hard on nailing optimization.
When it comes to phones slowed down by updates, the iOS 15 update seems to have ignored this particular issue for the iPhone XR. This is a small update and nothing noteworthy other than a) it works and b) Focus modes require their own college degree to configure.
I’m not going to say it’s perfect because there are things about the XR that still bother me. The front camera is a bit meh for Facetime or Duo, the low-res screen holds it in, and the rear cameras could be better. The fact that these quibbles were the only things that stood out to me after using a phone for over three years is a testament to the thoughtfulness with which the iPhone XR was designed.
I’m not sure what to expect from my one week experience. I use much newer phones like the Pixel 5 that support 5G, Full HD OLED displays, multiple cameras, and fast refresh rates, and the XR has none of that. Still, I wasn’t too bothered. The iPhone XR was a perfectly capable phone that always competed favorably with mid-range smartphones in the $ 400 market, especially when it came to camera performance and capabilities.
If you want to choose b. Performance? The XR will probably gain there too. On the other hand, hardware intricacies such as multi-camera systems on phones like the OnePlus Nord 2 add real flexibility that you can’t duplicate on this phone, nor the 5G connectivity that is found on many more affordable phones. modern.
And there is a lot to be gained from embracing the new iPhones. Not just in complicated features like deep merge, but also in boring and unobtrusive features that make the new phones perfect for everyday use. The iPhone XR has good battery life, while the iPhone 13 has incredible battery life. The iPhone XR has a decent single camera, while all currently available iPhone models have at least a dual camera setup (with the exception of the iPhone SE). And again, all screens are now OLED, and there is 5G support.
I’m not going to go out and say you should buy an iPhone XR now. If you already have an iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, or a slightly newer model and are wondering if you should upgrade, you’ll read our reviews carefully to see which parts of your experience you want to update and decide if you can stick to it longer. Remember, next year’s iPhone will always be better, and the longer the wait, the bigger the jump.
But if you’re tight on budget and can find the iPhone XR in stock somewhere (probably refurbished), you’ll be served with a phone that can still easily last for the next two to three years with a minimum of problems. There aren’t many phones that can say that these days, which makes the iPhone XR such an impressive device.

Johnson called it a “convincing” win and said the party should now “come together.”
Discontent that has been building for months erupted after a 10-day parliamentary break that included a long weekend of celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. For many, the four-day holiday was a chance to relax — but there was no respite for Johnson, who was booed by some onlookers as he arrived for a service in the queen’s honor at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Friday.
But previous prime ministers who survived no-confidence votes emerged severely weakened.
Civil service investigator Sue Gray described alcohol-fueled bashes held by Downing Street staff members in 2020 and 2021, when pandemic restrictions prevented U.K. residents from socializing or even visiting dying relatives.
But a growing number of Conservatives feel that Johnson is now a liability who will doom them to defeat at the next election, which must be held by 2024.
“What that means over the months ahead, I don’t know,” Baker said.

Secret Document of Persecution of Falun Gong Disclosed
Recently, a confidential document issued by a Mongolian 610-Office was disclosed overseas. The document asks relevant departments nationwide to collect Falun Gong practitioners' information, for further persecution.
Lin Zixu, current affairs commentator "the document clearly says that this action covers the entire country. We know, the CCP has persecuted Falun Gong for 15 years. It still issues such documents, showing the CCP's suppression of Falun Gong has completely failed."
The document stresses "strictly avoid disclosure" of this, and "strictly prevent negative impact on society" by keeping quiet.
However, the CCP's "atheism" was offended so, it treated Falun Gong as a "thorn in its side". In order to set accusations against and uproot Falun Gong, undercover agents infiltrated Falun Gong groups back in 1994.
In early 1997, Luo Gan, former Secretary oftook advantage of his position and ordered the Public Security Bureau to carry out a nationwide investigation of Falun Gong.
In July 1998, Jiang Zemin and Luo Gan issued a "f Falun Gong". They first charged Falun Gong with being an "evil cult". Then ordered the police departments across the country to investigate Falun Gong systematically, using undercover personnel to collect evidence but found nothing to support their accusations.
From April 25 to July 20, 1999, the Public Security Ministry again implemented a nationwide investigation of Falun Gong using undercover staff to collect evidence, to slander Falun Gong but it still didn't work.
Chen Shizhong, Falun Gong Human Rights spokesperson: "It talked about concisely persecuting Falun Gong. Its a daydream. Since Jiang Zemin stepped down, the persecution policy has been controlled by PLAC pressurizing central government. However, when Xi Jinping took office, the pressure on central government didn't work. Now the persecution of Falun Gong has no market."
Chen Shizhong: "The tyranny ruling created disgraced officials and police. Those officials knew the details of the CCP persecution. In the past, when they did evil deeds they would be rewarded.Now without this, no one wants to give their life to the CCP. The document is just to threaten people, which won't work for too long."
Lin Zixu: "Now many officials inside the CCP dislike the persecution of Falun Gong. Once the secret document was issued, overseas media found out, and then the entire contents were exposed. Obviously, someone inside the CCP deliberately leaked it."
Lin says that now few people who cannot see the situation clearly are still carrying out the persecution. The CCP launched this document, showing it has run out of ideas. Leaking it shows how unpopular the persecution of kind people now is. – See more at: http://www.ntd.tv/en/programs/news-politics/china-forbidden-news/20140626/165598-secret-document-of-persecution-of-falun-gong-disclosed.html#sthash.NQ1xkTtt.dpuf

. Figure 10 shows the metal framework with the black processing rings embedded into the metalwork. These are the black "snaps" that will be replaced with a more retentive nylon locator ring.
The bite was then taken from the wax rim, the locator snaps were verified to ensure it fit over the implants, and the dental technician set denture teeth (IPN Portrait Teeth [DENTSPLY Trubyte]) in the wax for a try-in (Figure 11). After patient approval of the wax set-up, the denture was processed with an internal metal frame. At delivery, if the denture is too retentive, then different nylon rings can be placed to decrease the retention. If it is not tight enough, stiffer rings can be placed to increase it (Figure 12).
The patient was highly satisfied. He experienced less pain and quicker healing that he had expected. After he had worn the lower denture for 4 weeks, he said was relieved to be able to enjoy eating again and to be ableout the nagging worry that his loose dentures would cause him embarrassment.
This patient's quality of life was improved through utilization of some of the best technologies available today for implant overdentures. These technologies (including small-diameter implants, the Zest , and lab-processed attachments) will help general dentists successfully meet the needs of an aging population unwilling to let inadequate dentures compromise their lives.

It’s surprising that so many adult-age Americans have one or more missing teeth. In fact, the average number of teeth for adults age 20 to 64 is 24.92– when you consider that the full number of adult teeth is 32 for most, that’s a high number.. Nearly 4% of adults are missing all of their teeth, and although many people will lose teeth as a naturally part of aging, a considerable percentage also lose teeth to dental decay, physical injury, and other causes.
Root canal is a procedure that may be required whenever the pulp of a tooth has become damaged, or when it has become inflamed or infected by bacteria. There’s no mystery as to when this is usually required; you may experience symptoms which include:
Pain and prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold
Foul-smelling breath from tooth decay, or from pus drainage from the site of infection.
Sometimes, however there are no symptoms.
Dr. Bodepudi and her team can provide scheduled or emergency care for patients of all ages. If you’re worried about the health of your tooth, or if you’re experiencing painful symptoms of a damaged tooth, then contact Garden State Endodontics in West Caldwell, NJ as soon as possible so that you can schedule an examination. You will save your tooth, and your health in the process.

Question: “”
If I was asked this question in December, I would have said ” there is no reason to blog.” I had no interest in it, I didn’t understand why someone would want to be blogging about their “feelings and ideas.” But now, having had my eyes opened by Professor Nixon I realize that blogging is something that I as a student can learn from, especially by commenting on others after reading theirs.
Comments are an integral part of blogging because it allows you as the reader the ability to work through things you may have just learned from someone else’s blog. It may also help other people reading your comment to spark another idea or learn something they hadn’t thought of before. It’s like a system that we are all apart of working together to help each other out by talking to and through each other. It helpful and useful all on levels because you may agree with what someone else said, and make a connection through a comment.
Effective blog comments should be well written. They also need to be not too lengthy and should also not be used to bash someone’s ideas or thoughts, but used to explore the topic more. If you don’t agree with what was said, then don’t bash them in the comment. Also, if you are going to write a comment, make sure your spelling and grammar are correct.

Discovery is starting to sell private health cover in South Africa at about a third of the price of its prior entry-level product, a move to attract new customers and tap into pandemic-heightened concerns about health.
The administrator of the country’s largest medical-insurance provider, which has more than 40% market share, will offer primary care for about R350 a month, giving customers access to a network of doctors, emergency procedures and treatment for chronic conditions including HIV.
“We have to try and make health care affordable and to more people,” state-of-the-art headquarters in Johannesburg’s financial district.
Discovery has been criticized regularly over its rising premiums, and a 2018 industry inquiry ruled the company contributed to an uncompetitive market by generating far higher profit than competitors.

compared to the previous rigid-body version serves to better illustrate the design and resulting effects of soft-body physics. The smaller an object is, the harder it becomes to make it soft and stable.
### Positioning Nodes on the Circle's Circumference
Now you can take the positions of Listing 10-3 and apply them to the nodes from right to top-right in clockwise fashion. The position of the node named right should be 62x32, the node bottom-right should be at position 53.2x10.8, the node bottom should be at position 32x2, and so on. Verify that you updated the node positions correctly by selecting all nodes from center down to top-right. This should give you the same circular layout as shown in Figure 10-3. Zoom in (Cmd +/–) to better see.
The eight circumference nodes are positioned and distributed evenly in a circle
Notice that you now have a total of nine child nodes, each with physics enabled, distributed evenly on the player's sprite. Also, note that the player sprite itself (the root node) does not have physics enabled.
One more thing to take note of: if you switch to the Item Physics tab, select a circumference node, and then keep selecting the currently selected node and a neighboring circumference node, you'll see the collision radius of the neighbors do not overlap. Instead, there's a tiny gap in between them, as shown in Figure 10-4. This gap is crucial!
The circumference physics bodies and their circle shapes highlighted through physics debug drawing
If any two circumference bodies in a soft-body physics object overlap or touch, the entire soft-body will be in constant unrest. If the gap is too wide, however, other bodies (both those on the soft-body object itself and external bodies such as the chain and rope elements) may too easily pass in between the soft-body's outer bodies, thus causing the soft body to become stuck.
Figure 10-4 also illustrates how the circumference bodies enlarge the player's actual collision radius. You'll later accommodate this by simply drawing the player's texture using the larger radius, effectively scaling it up.
## Moving and Drawing the Soft-Body Player
If you run the current state of the project with physics debug drawing enabled, you'll notice the player's circle bodies falling down, and no more. The player sprite itself remains at its original location, and you can't move the player either because the sprite itself no longer has a physics body. You will have to apply the movement force to all bodies equally, and you'll have to use the center node as the new player node.
### Moving the Soft-Body Player
The movement changes are quickly implemented. In Xcode, open GameScene.m to add a new BOOL ivar named _softBodyPlayer that allows you to make the code backward-compatible for those levels where you haven't replaced the player with the new soft-body player. Add the line highlighted in Listing 10-4.
Listing 10-4. An ivar that is set when the player node is the soft-body version
@ implementation GameScene
__weak CCNode* _levelNode;
__weak GameMenuLayer* _gameMenuLayer;
__weak GameMenuLayer* _popoverMenuLayer;
CGFloat _playerMaxVelocity;
BOOL _acceleratePlayer;
BOOL _softBodyPlayer;
Then locate the loadLevelNamed: method. Replace the code at the end of loadLevelNamed: so that the end of the method looks like Listing 10-5. To be precise, the if condition needs to be added while the scrollToTarget: method is replaced by the one in Listing 10-5.
Listing 10-5. Determining the soft-body player and updating _playerNode accordingly
// ... previous code omitted
// Soft-body player's first child node is the actual player sprite
if (_playerNode.children.count > 0)
CCNode* center = _playerNode.children.firstObject;
_playerNode = center;
_softBodyPlayer = YES;
CGPoint offset = (_softBodyPlayer ?
_playerNode.parent.positionInPoints : CGPointZero);
[self scrollToTarget:_playerNode withOffset:offset];
If the _playerNode has children, which is only the case for the new soft-body player object, the first object replaces the _playerNode reference. This makes the soft-body player's center node the new _playerNode. The _softBodyPlayer ivar is set to YES to indicate that this level is using the soft-body player.
The scrollToTarget:method will be updated shortly. Here in Listing 10-5, the new version is already being called. The new version takes an offset parameter to account for the fact that the center node's position is an offset to its parent position rather than being in-scene coordinates.
Locate the update:method in GameScene.m. It also needs to be updated with the changes highlighted in Listing 10-6.
Listing 10-6. Accelerating all bodies and scrolling with offset
-(void) update:(CCTime)delta
if (_softBodyPlayer)
for (CCNode* node in _playerNode.parent.children)
[self accelerateTarget:node];
If the _softBodyPlayer flag is set, instead of the force being applied to the _playerNode, it is applied to all nodes. Remember that _playerNode is the center node in the PlayerSoftBody.ccb, so its children are the soft-body player's physics-enabled nodes. And each one is now accelerated instead of the _playerNode.
It may be worth a try at a later time to apply the force only on the _playerNode (center node) or to spread the force unevenly—for instance, applying the force only on the circumference bodies and not on the center body. Each approach will result in different movement behavior, and you are welcome to experiment.
The scrollToTarget:method is called with the _playerNode's parent position as offset, just like in Listing 10-5 before.
Before you can compile this code without errors, you'll have to update the scrollToTarget: method. Apply the changes highlighted in Listing 10-7. It's not much, you just need to add the withOffset:(CGPoint)offset parameter and add the offset to target.positionInPoints in the line where viewPos is assigned. The rest of the method is omitted for brevity. You should not remove the remainder of the method; rather, leave it unchanged.
Listing 10-7. Adding the offset parameter to the scrollToTarget: method
-(void) scrollToTarget:(CCNode*)target withOffset:(CGPoint)offset
CGPoint viewCenter = CGPointMake(viewSize.width / 2.0,
viewSize.height / 2.0);
CGPoint viewPos = ccpSub( ccpAdd(target.positionInPoints, offset) ,
viewCenter);
// ... remaining code omitted
With this code in place, you are almost ready to try. Before you do so, open GameScene.ccb in SpriteBuilder and select the root node. Remember there are custom properties that control some of the player behavior. With nine smaller, and thus less massive, bodies instead of one large body and with the physics forces applied to all nine bodies equally, the bodies will move far too quickly if you do not change the design parameters. For _playerNudgeRightVelocity, enter 4, and a good value to enter for _playerNudgeUpVelocity is

Today was the Boy’s final appointment to see if he was eligible for the Boiled Oral Peanut Immunotherapy (BOPI) trial at his allergy clinic. Previous posts are here and also here.
It was, as I predicted to myself (without admitting it publicly), fairly stressful.
We have to take a photo at the beginning of each day so that the Doctors can spot any slight facial swellings before they get too significant. Standard procedure for my smiley boy is that we take two – one for fun, and one serious one for them to compare to spot the difference over the course of the day.
I’m only showing the smiley one.
Then was the appearance of the quarter of a boiled peanut that he had to be able to tolerate to get onto the trial. I love that he looked like a Roman at this point – all curly hair and lounging while he was offered his peeled grape (boiled peanut).
It turned out that a quarter of a boiled peanut was reasonably tolerable. He had an itchy mouth and throat, and a bit of a sore tummy, but nothing really to write home about (oh, apart from the fact that it was gross, apparently).
About an hour later, he was fed the other three quarters of the boiled peanut. This produced more itchiness and a definite increase in tummy ache, but still manageable at this point.
The real stress point for me, and the Boy, was the two boiled peanuts they fed him an hour later.
These produced a lot of itchiness in his mouth and throat, and a very bad tummy ache (7 on a scale of 1 to 10 and he’s not gone above 5 so far).
Far worse though, and reminiscent of his first attack (aged 22 months) was when he went floppy. He sagged onto me, and when the Doctors asked him a few questions he was unable to answer accurately or with more than one or two words.
The positive part to this is that he was hooked up to monitors so we knew that his blood pressure and breathing (both indicators for anaphylaxis) were ok.
Had I been at home with this happening, I would have used his epipen, but on the monitors I was we were able to keep an eye on him and let it run its course (as I read this, I am amazed at how calmly I am able to re-tell this part – at the time I was terrified).
After about 10 minutes he went to sleep.
Not for long though. He woke up shortly afterwards and was still sleepy, disorientated and incredibly grumpy (not surprisingly).
After half an hour of floppy (plenty long enough for me) he announced that he needed the bathroom. I only recount this bit in detail because I’m so amazed at what happened. He walked (just, with my support) to the bathroom, couldn’t decide whether he needed to sit or stand and then asked if he could have a bucket. He was comprehensively sick, then had a wee, washed his hands and announced that he was quite hungry actually!
And that was pretty much that. There was a bit more internal itching and a sore throat (throwing up introduces the peanut back into the throat, hence some more discomfort) and a little bit of tummy ache, but he ate his lunch, had a couple of drinks and got back to the important task of building himself a hospital (complete with BOPI unit) on Minecraft.
This is a non-chronological report, sorry, but it seemed important to get all the reaction stuff down and then go back to the trial stuff.
After the Boy had managed the first two doses, he was declared safe to take part in the trial. He’d eaten a whole boiled peanut at that point. The next job was to put his hospital number through the computer randomiser (2 out of 3 do the trial immediately, 1 in 3 are deferred for a year). One of the Doctors asked if we’d like to do it in a year, or right now. The boy and I both agreed that now was preferable. And we are! I’m really excited/scared/relieved/anxious that we’re on the immediate participation leg of the trial. The thought of waiting a year and then going through all of this again – the double blind trial and the boiled peanut bit – really wasn’t working for either of us.
So, having been a nut free house for 6 years, I bought these home today.
Two bags of 100 peanuts that I have to boil for 4 hours (I can do 100 at a time and then freeze them, and yes, those peanuts as they are are potentially very dangerous) so that I can feed the Boy a quarter of a boiled peanut every day. I’m worried about tomorrow, naturally, but I think once I’ve done the first one it will be ok – a bit like when we did our first oral nut challenge for almonds at home. I just need to know that the first day is ok and then we I can move forward.
He had a well deserved trash meal on the way home! Cheeseburger, chips and juice (one of his five a day?!).
For the record, and in case he reads this in years to come, I am so, so proud of him. His courage, stamina, stoicism and resilience are an example to us all.
Well done the Boy, much love, your Mummy xxxxxxxx

That perception is certainly held by the current administration emissions will effectively close dozens more coal fired power plants over the next few years. Overseas, even the Chinese and the Indians have at least paid lip service to cleaner electricity production recently and declared an intention to move away from coal. When push comes to shove I am still not convinced that the necessary huge investment to make that shift will be forthcoming in either case but, even without that, low global prices and relatively high production costs have made exporthere in the U.S. Indeed, total exports of coal dropped by 21.8 percent from 74,981,013 short tons in 2014 to 58,659,154 last year, according to the EIA.

Dr. Lekovic sees both the clinical and business sides of practicing spinal medicine changing in the next few years. Here, he discusses the most interesting trends in technology and headwinds to consider for the future.
Dr. Gregory Lekovic: The most interesting emerging technology to me is the introduction of advanced optical imaging techniques to operative microscopy. Ever since the introduction of the microscope to neurosurgery in the late 1950s, the optics of microscopy have been taken for granted and the means of operative visualization — whether with a traditional microscope or endoscope — have been passive. At the House Clinic in LA, we are excited by the recent explosion in new fluorescent dyes and imaging processing capabilities. Technology is now emerging that will allow us to use our microscopes (and soon endoscopes) to not only see the tissue but to query it for function, and perhaps one day soon to also interact with it in ways that were not previously possible.
GL: It is more important now than ever before to pick your friends wisely by seeking alignment with a health system or other institutional partner that understand your culture of excellence and can help you grow. Nevertheleskey to a 'destination' practice such as the House Clinic in LA remains excellence in clinical outcomes, high volume, assiduous commitment to detail, and communication with patients through their whole treatment journey.
GL: Headwinds abound, mainly in regulation and reimbursement. By far and away the most dangerous trend in healthcare is proposed legislation to combat 'surprise billing': the leading legislation will place the burden of payment for "out-of-network" (which in this context should read: "under-insured") patients on surgeons and other hospital-based specialists, who will in turn have to seek subsidy from hospitals in order to survive. This will also strengthen the negotiating hand of insurers with regard to all doctors, bolstering narrow network plans and lowering physician reimbursement across the board.

“ I realized I had to free myself from the images which in the past had announced to me the things I sought: only then would I succeed in understanding…”(pg 48)
This passage taken from Italo Calvino’s novel Invisible Cities is one of the very few passages that summarize the main idea that is being communicated to the reader throughout the novel. In my opinion, this idea consists that life is about perspectives. Everything around us is viewed differently because we are individuals, we are the creators of our own theories and at times we might say that the problem with the world is that we are not able to completely accept and understand the opinions of others which is due to the one factor that makes us blind to all other perspectives, our own. This is the reason why when Marco Polo suggests in this passage that should free ourselves from the images of the past to fully comprehend what is happening around us. That is forgetting about our perspective, as in completely clearly our mind, and allowing other ideas flow efficiently through our minds. But, as I will explain further on, this idea on perspectives not only does it appear in the novel but it also applies to our day-to-day life and especially in the virtual drama, Façade.
In fact, this very idea could be also related to the reason why the novel is titled the way it is. The cities described by Marco Polo in the novel are in reality completely invisible to the Great Khan because there exists the possibility that if Kublai Khan were to actually visit these same cities, he would view them differently and therefore making Marco Polo’s cities invisible to him. In fact, this rule applies to everyday life. What one may see will always be invisible to the other person; the only thing visible to you is your perspective and opinion on the subject, you will never be able to fully comprehend the other person’s opinion because again you will always compare it to your own and therefore making yourself invisible to others and vice versa. Again, I will mention the passage from which this essay started with, the only solution to our troubles is that of getting rid of our own thoughts in order to take one step into the future. But this is not possible because we only see what we want to see. “…That those who strive in camps and ports exist only because we two think of them, here, enclosed among these bamboo hedges, motionless since time began.”(Pg 117) This is the point in the novel where this of ‘seeing is believing’ idea comes up. It is where Khan actually decides to begin describing the cities he has imagined in his dreams to Marco Polo with the hope that these exist. But as Marco Polo later reveals in the book, every city that Khan dreams of does exist because if he is able to imagine them then they exist. In other words, whatever it is one person may want to see is what they will actually see. We are also able to relate this to the game, Façade. After various attempts with various outcomes of the ending of the game, I realized that there existed a certain pattern. That the game revolved mainly about solving a couple’s marital issues, but this was not possible because each one had a different perspective on the issue. I, myself did not achieve in the couple’s finding a reasonable solution therefore I am not sure that this is possible, but based on my experience with the game, my character could have said many things and could have taken sides with the couple, but in the end there was no understanding whatsoever. So we may say that, what one individual in the game saw was completely invisible to the other and therefore creating a great barrier between them and the solution to their problem.
So not only does this theory apply to both the novel and the game but it can also be related to the one subject that we have seen throughout the course. That is, free will. We had various discussions on freewill vs. predestination, and in my opinion the simple fact that life is based on perspectives and the barriers that these create, in the end freewill prevails over predestination. Because it is our decision whether we let go of our perspectives and make ourselves invisible to others or not, it is our own freewill that controls us.
Another point I would like to make would be that of the cycle of life. To me the book communicated the great importance of all the elements that make up our life, whether they are bad or good, sad or happy, they are what make life unique and beautiful. What would life be if there were no ups and downs? This is what Marco Polo begins to explain to Kublai Khan. In fact, most of these cities contain specific elements such as memories, desires, death, etc. There were passages in the book to which I could relate to my life, emotions that cities made me feel and I realized that some of these were phases that each and every one of us would have gone through. For example, take the city of Adelma where “..you reach a moment in life when among the people you have known, the dead outnumber the living. And the mind refuses to accept more faces, more expressions: on every new face you encounter, it prints the old forms, for each one it finds the most suitable mask.”(pg 95)To me, this description of the city made me think about the moment in life where we let the fear of death overcome our minds, we begin to think of what lies ahead of us and sometimes some of us let that fear overcome the desire to live. There is also the city of Eusapia where “ No city is more inclined than Eusapia to enjoy life and flee care.” (pg 109) This reminds me of when we begin to enjoy life more freely, we believe there are no limits to our actions and live out those moments that truly matter. Therefore the idea of all these different emotions making life at it is can be reinforced with the fact that Marco Polo reveals to Kublai Khan that the city he has been speaking of the whole time has been Venice. As if to say, our analogy could be stated as this: Venice being life is made up by different cities, which can be emotions and faces that we experience in our lifetime. Without these, Venice or life, cannot be what it actually is.
But as always in life, the one common goal that we as humans seek out is that of happiness. Which we can find both in the book and in the game. In the game for example, the couple seeks a solution to the problem, and of course the best solution should contain the happiness for both individuals. In the novel, we also find the pursuit of happiness from both Marco Polo and Kublai Khan. Marco Polo seeks to find a city where he will feel the need to explore no more and Khan seeks to find a solution to his kingdom expanding which would bring him great happiness.
When talking about how perspectives influence your life a very important question comes up: Will you let your perspective control you and create barriers? Or will you rid yourself of this? How will you do such a thing? And finally is a person capable of having freewill without it controlling you?
The danger of stepping outiside your house...
The time has come to step out of the house.
How about we take a cab...
The moment has come to step into that outside and unknown world. Once you step of the curb, that's it. Your on your own...
Didn't they teach you to look both ways?
Especially in Bogota where people drive so careless...
Oh no. Not only were you left to agonize on the side of the road. But it was a 'hit and run' situation.
And observe how instead of people stopping to help you. They help themselves at your expense. There goes your iphone.
People just drive by. No worries. Only a man lying on the side of the road. Very normal...
Finally someone with some heart. She is in complete shock by the severeness of your wounds.
And who are the only ones that can help?
Sadly they were to busy giving out parking permits. If there were a next time, I would tell you to be more careful when you decide to step outside your house.

In chapter five and six of Gulliver's Travels we are introduced to the laws and culture of the Lilliputians. But the climax of both chapters does not revolve around these, instead it revolves around the fire incident in the emperor palace which is solved by the act of Gulliver urinating on the fire and therefore putting it out.
Even though this is a heroic act and without it, the consequences could have been worse, it also shows superiority. Throughout the past chapters we have seen that Gulliver respects the emperor and is very grateful when he is granted his freedom. Also the only thing that Gulliver wishes to do is gain the emperors trust. But the way he put out the fire shows to the Lilliputians that in the end the 'giant man mountain' has and will always have superiority. So obviously the emperor feels threatened because it demonstrates to the kingdom his weakness, and as a leader he must not allow this to happen.

Freedom: Is not all about chains...
In chapter three and four of Gulliver's Travels I found it very interesting how he describes the Yahoos better along with their various rituals. We can now tell that there exists more confidence between Gulliver and the kingdom since there is more interaction between the two.
But even though Gulliver is given everything he needs, he is not given the one thing that he really wants. That is, his liberty. Everyone searches liberty one way or another. Liberty includes everything from expressing your ideas freely without any consequences or having the liberty to decide what to do in the day. But even though we have the privilege to experience freedom, some of us are not aware that there are a lot of people that are denied their freedom. How can a person live a happy and long life when they are denied their freedom?
The answer to this question does not exist. There is no way that a person can live a happy life when their freedom is denied. At freedom does not necessarily have to mean that their chains are taken off nor that they are let of of jail, but freedom is about accepting people they way they are. Without judging. And most of all, tolerance must be shown. In fact one of my favorite quotes explain freedom the best way possible:
"To be free is not merely to cast of one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others"

As I read the first chapter of Gulliver’s Travels, the only image that came to my mind was that of the movie Castaway. Just as Gulliver, the protagonist in the movie is a victim of a terrible accident and is then swished upon the shore. Although he does not encounter any human life on the island and much less has any encounters with people such as the Yahoos he does have to survive alone for four years.
I also found it quite interesting that most of the descriptions and plot of the book reminds me of various movies that I’ve watched and TV series. So then it occurred to me that if this book were made into a movie it would be a hit.
Even though it does not use direct humor, as a reader I find it quite amusing the image of a human being tied down by several ropes and little people walking all over him. I can’t help but think of what the Yahoo’s think of him.
In the second chapter, as Gulliver has various encounters with the emperor , who then decides to search him and strip him of all his belongings. Since the only thing that Gulliver wants is to have his liberty, the first step to this is gaining the emperors trust. This is the reason why he lets the emperor take all his belongings, including the ones that could help him if he were to need them as defense weapons.
I also want to point out that the emperor is depicted as a very smart man. He thinks of every possiblitly that Gulliver can cause upon the kingdom. And he makes decisions which are very wise and benefit both his kingdom and Gulliver.

I found most groups did a very good job in terms of acting, memorizing their lines, and completing the scene as it is in the book. Although there were some scenes that were much clearer than others, for the most part I was able to understand what was going on in most of them.
The only thing I found fairly confusing was the fact that we made a huge fuss about what time period to choose in Colombia that could be related to the scene but in the end almost every single one of the groups used the same time period. As if to say, we all dressed the same and at times we could have simply dressed up, chosen the time period and saved ourselves a lot of energy that we wasted on choosing the EXACT moment in time that could be related.
But for the most part, I found it a very fun exercise. We all had fun dressing up and acting out our scenes. I believe that it made us also understand certain scenes better. Because you may be a good reader but sometimes visuals are key in understanding something.

Company CEO's Vs. 'Young People'
Whether an article is written in a formal or informal voice, whether it's written for The New York Times or Vogue, and whether it is supposed to appeal to a certain group of people, one thing is for sure, that all published articles are created to state a point.
So when it comes to comparing these three articles, one thing is for sure, although the message might be different and the way it is given, they all give their ideas across effectively in their own fashion.
In "The Cost Conundrum" piece, the author uses a more serious tone by giving it elaborated and sophisticated words. The way the ideas are developed, the reader can tell that the author automatically assumes that the reader must have basic knowledge on both medical terms and financial factors. This is the reason why we can tell that the way an article is written also depends on the audience it is intended for. This is obviously a newspaper in which articles should be written in a formal and respectful tone and the subjects that are talked about are ones that have a lot to do with politics and the economy.
Even though the article "Heeeere's...Conan!" is also published in a well known newspaper whose articles are usually of a serious tone, this is completely the opposite of what articles are usually expected to be in this newspaper. It uses more of a relaxed tone and at times slang language. Also the subject that is being talked about has nothing whatsoever to do with economy or politics, it talks about the entertainment business. But even though it is more relaxed than the previous article it still does not completely meet the expectations for a ultimate serious toned article.
Finally, the last article talks about a graffiti artist, along with a background of his life and what he thinks about what he does. This is a perfect example of a very laid back, opinionated article. It uses a lot of slang language and the subject appeals only to a certain type of group of people. As if to say, company CEO's wouldn't be completely captured by the article while people of our age would have a bigger impact.
So even though the audiences the articles are intended for are different, the language used in terms of word selection is also different and the subjects are complete opposites, the one thing that they definitely have in common is the technique. They all use the fact that they articles are written using 'experience'. The subject they describe is based on the experience the author has had with the subject.

The study of light dates back over 1000 years. In that time, the manipulation of light has allowed technological progress across fields. In particular, the advent of the laser ushered in the modern age of scientific research and is perhaps most critically relied upon today as a facilitator of the modern internet.
The figure above shows a cross-section of a Gaussian laser beam, a common geometry, as it focuses and then defocuses once again. Due to the finite size of the beam at the input, the beam can never converge to a single point. Rather, the focal spot must be of finite width.

Also troubling was that Goldstone f his report. When asked how Israel could fight wars where the enemy is embedded in civilian centers, he recommended commando raids. Great idea!Except for the possibility of capture by Palestinians that increases exponentially. Goldstone is familiar with what happens to Israeli captives and even took credit for bringing up Gilad Shalit. Does he think that a few more Israeli soldiers in Palestinian captivity for years without any Red Cross visits will help anybody?

No money, no time and no idea where to start?
It’s tough running your own business, having to divide your time between all the tasks that need completing. I know what it’s like. An endless cycle that leaves you without enough time or money to invest into growing your business.
It’s like a voice inside your head, constantly nagging that you’re not doing enough, that you’re missing out on opportunities. What do you do?
It’s easy to do nothing, put things off and just tell yourself that you’ll eventually be in a better situation where you have the money and time to do what you want. That “one day” can be a lot further away than you think, especially if you haven’t planned how you’re going to get there.
The reality is that for many small business owners, that time never comes. But, you know what, you don’t need to worry about it. If you spend a little bit of time every week doing the right things, you’re going to start seeing results and it won’t cost you a penny. That will get you to the point where you can start spending a bit of money to help your business achieve more.
People get confused by SEO. They don’t know where to start. When you don’t know anything about a subject, it can be really hard to figure out who’s genuinely trying to help you and who’s just taking you for a ride. I’m going to give you a crash course in SEO to get you on the right path.
If you are just starting out and/or you work for yourself, the chances are that unless you provide digital services, SEO is something you probably haven’t spent of time looking into, you just know there’s a lot to it.
People often get confused about the purpose of SEO and how it works, which leads to people getting frustrated and losing faith in the whole system. This might be you, it might not be, all Imissing out because they don’t value SEO.
So, I’m going to quickly run through some of things people have said to me about their business and SEO in the past.
Most businesses can get a lot out of SEO. Even if most of the sales come from face to face meetings you can still generate exposure, promote what you’re doing and get more people interested in exploring your products or services.
If SEO hasn’t worked for you in the past there’s a good chance likely because you, or the person you hired, were doing things wrong. You’ve got to just pick yourself up and try again. Anyone that knows what they’re doing will be able to tell you exactly how SEO can help your business and what areas you need to focus on before they even talk about sending the first invoice.
SEO doesn’t have to be expensive. Like everything, it can be, but there’s a lotthat you can engage with professionals without having to remortgage your home to pay for it.
By focusing on one area at a time, you can do things yourself to get things started. From there, when you’ve had a bit of success you can move on to small SEO projects for as little as £300. The more you invest, the better the chances you’ll have of ranking more highly for more keywords.
Everyhat they do, can benefit from investing in SEO and building their online presence. Some businesses may get more value from investing in alternative marketing but it doesn’t change the fact that they could still benefit from having a strong online presence.
Another scenario is where a business is consists of only one person, who usually don’t have a lot of business experience. They don’t think they need SEO because they’ve got it all under control. In reality they’re likely missing out on massive opportunities on a weekly basis. If you remove one person from a business and it falls apart, and growth beyond that one person is never a priority, that’s not a business, it’s a job.
It doesn’t matter what the subject is, if you’re given a good set of instructions, you can carry out a task just as well as an expert. That’s all this is about; knowing what you should be doing.
This is all about getting started for small businesses, so you don’t need to spend hours and hours every week listening to podcasts, reading lengthy articles or carrying out SEO tests to succeed. All you need to do is find a good source of information and follow the advice.
When you’ve got zero budget and only a little bit of spare time you need to focus on the quick and easy wins. We’re not looking at two years away, we’re thinking about the next six months and how you can start seeing some success.
Most people tend to jump in at the deep end and hope they’re getting it right. Most people don’t get it right and it takes them about 6 months to figure out.
Drowning in questions and desperately trying to figure out what the hell you’re meant to be doing is not where you want to be.
What are people actually typing intohey need? This is really important because you’ll need to tailor pretty much every new web page and piece of content for your site to the keywords you want to rank highly for.
If you get this bit wrong, you’ll end up wasting loads of time optimising your site for all the wrong things. It doesn’t matter how great you are at SEO, get this wrong and you’ll never even start the race.
I would start off by creating a list of all the things that you think your customers/clients are typing into search engines to try and find products or services like yours. This doesn’t have to be something you do in isolation; ask friends and family members (only ask people who you think fit the profile of people that buy from you) what they would search for. If you already have people buying from you then try and reach out to them.
I’d recommend starting off by creating a list of all the things you think your customers/clients might be searching for. From there you need to look into using the Keyword Planner tool, which is part of Google Adwords, and Google Trends to.
This tool allows you to enter a list of keywords, not only will it it each month but it’ll give you suggestions on other keyword types to explore. It should be pointed out that these results are only based on the paid ads results data, whilst it’s not ideal it still gives you a good idea of what people are and aren’t searching for.
Google Trends is a great tool and it’s really easy to use. What it does is show you the historical data behind any keywords you enter and makes it easy to see which ones are going to be more or less popular in the future.
Think about how many people are currently searching for your chosen keywords and whether Google’s Keyword Tool can help you find others you might not have thought about. Once you’ve made a shortlist, take them to Google Trends and see which ones are increasing or decreasing in popularity.
It’s a simplistic approach but it will get you off to a much better start than just guessing and hoping. Having this information is going to enable you to pick and invest into the right keywords for your business and it doesn’t a thing!
The next question is what do you do with the keywords you’ve chosen?
We’re talking about great content that’s valuable to and what you can offer. Blogging, video, social media, infographics, anything that helps people to learn something new, tackle assumptions, overcome challenges, find new tools or discover truths.
By far one of the easiest ways to start improving your traffic is blogging. Our clients are doing it, their clients are doing it, more and more fortune 500 companies are investing greater amounts into this area of marketing and for good reason. Study after study shows that when you blog on a regular basis, properly, people stop seeing you as just a business trying to make money, they are more readily able to see you as a brand that has their best interests at heart.
So why are so many businesses jumping on the blogging bandwagon?
All you need is knowledge. Knowledge about what you do and how you can help people.
Blogging can be informal, so most people don’t care too much if youre English isnt so grate, as long as you get the point across.
When you get into the habit of blogging regularly, you’ve basically just covered half of what you need to get started with social media.
It gives you a chance to connect with people on a level that would otherwise take up a lot of your time. You can talk about really in depth stuff, or keep light, it’s so flexible.
It adds so much SEO relevant content and copy to your site, it’s an incredibly great way to boost your search rankings.
I know, I know. Writing is hard and it takes up a lot of time. Right? It doesn’t have to if you get the right structure in place and don’t give up on the first go. It’s a little bit like cooking. Everyone can do it, to a degree, it’s just a case of persevering and learning about what does and doesn’t work.
You wouldn’t expect to be able to recreate a restaurant, or even take-away, meal after one attempt. If you spent some time looking up recipes and trying them out a few times, you’d get it. You’d start seeing results. It’s the same with blogging, just stick at it and you’ll reap the rewards.
You can think of that as bad blogging, people getting bored and leaving your website after a couple of minutes.
It doesn’t work that way. At all. Everything you do should be focused exclusively on how you can help the people that spend money and engage with your business. If you understand your customers/clients, make a habit of getting to know them and you already value strong branding then this will be easy for you.
Targeting the wrong people, even with great and highly relevant content will end up with lots of people on your site that.
So, at LA Designs, we have all different sorts of clients. Some big, some small, some rich some poor, some crazy (in a good way), some serious. There’s a lot that separates them, but I know what each of them want.
They focus on. They want to know how best to communicate through branding and how to make people aware of what they do. They also want to put processes in place that increase their overall workload capacity.
Some of them want to transition from a chaotic working life to something that’s more stable, with less hours, less stress and more reliable sources of income. These are usually the ones that are just starting out, but it can also be owners or managers of a business that’s been going a long time and they’re struggling to modernise.
Our larger clients they know that money invested is money earned and they want to really streamline what they’re doing. A 3% increase in profit means a lot more to a business with a turnover of £500k a year than one with £25k.
Knowing all of this led to the decision of steering our content towards helping people understand how the services we provide can help them best. There’s a lot of confusion around what services they need for a business of their size and type. For example, the SEO, branding or web design needs for a restaurant in Brighton are going to be different to a local political party in Worthing.
Our goal is to help peoplehelp them launch or grow that business; whether it’s through our blog, over the phone or in person. We’re happy to share our knowledge and people love that. So do we because even if they don’t hire us, we get to help them out and maybe one day they’ll come back to us. We’ve had clients come back to us after a year of zero communication, all because they remembered how helpful we were before a contract was ever signed.
Some do hire us because we’ve shown that we can have a positive impact on their business, and that’s great. Blogging is just about doing what you already do, in a different format, that’s more accessible for people to get to – and takes up none of your time once it’s done.
By knowing who your audiences are you can start to figure out what sort of content is going to help them most. A really effective way of blogging is to create a series of blog posts, that either lead on from each other or are linked in other ways.
Think about their pain points, what sort of questions keep popping up in their working lives your business might provide a service that is available in many different forms that vary a lot in price. You could create a series of blog posts that aim to cover each level of service, what type of person or business is going to benefit most each one and a little about the costs involved for each one.
Different people struggle with different things. Some can write all day, but they may lack the ability to stay on topic and keep things relevant. Others might be struggling to know where to start.
I’m not a good enough writer to help everyone with every kind of issue but I find that it helps me stay focused when I flesh out the structure of a new blog post before diving in and writing it.
I start by trying to define a single problem that we can solve or a pain point we might be able to help clients with. That ultimately forms the basis of the post title. We get people coming to us who don’t think they can afford SEO, so I decided to write this blog post, you can see what I did with the title for this post.
Next, I’ll start listing out the main headings of the post, (these should be your h2 HTML tags), this makes it much easier to figure out exactly what you’re going to write about and in what order.
The next step is to go back through each of those titles and add subtitles, (these are your h3 HTML tags), clearly outlining what you’re going to say and any points that need to be made.
This makes it much easier to stay on track; you won’t be constantly bombarded with ideas on new topics to blog about.
Once that’s done you’re good to start writing! I’d recommend that at least once you should leave your blog post alone and come back to it tomorrow. Sometimes people can become too close to what they’re doing to be objective.
If you’re struggling to get started with blogging, feel free to reach out and get in touch, I’d be more than happy to see if I can help you in some way.
So, there’s blogging and then there’s blogging the right way. You might be able to create a great post, but what’s the point if no one can find it? It’s a bit like building the world’s first 8 star hotel (yeah, who knew. Imagine the bill!) and hiding it underground No one is going to see it, no one is going to ever know about it and no one will ever talk about it. That’s not what you want.
You can get a massive still sovalue of blogging or digital marketing.
Search engines make a judgement about your site based on other sites linking to it and where your site links to, it’s a little bit like how we judge others based on who they’re with. If someone had no friends, or they kept hanging around with criminals, rapists, murderers, Donald Trump, (of course we saved the worst for last), or they didn’t have any friends at all – you’re going to think hang on a minute, something isn’t right here.
Your site has to keep good company, or search engines aren’t going to rank it higher than a competing website with hundreds of links from highly credible and authoritative websites.
Well, all of a sudden, you now have a reason to start using them and to begin growing your number of followers.
Te are going to read, like and share what you’re putaccounts, the greater your reach is; which will work wonders for your site traffic.
Speaking of traffic, unless you’re monitoring your traffic, you’re not going to get very far with any of this. Use Google Analytics. It’s free, it’s amazing and you need it in your life.
Using this tool you can start looking at how many people visit your site, you can filter that by daily, weekly and monthly views or even specify your own date range. You’ll be able to see which blog posts are doing receiving the most visitors and start trackingte.
It’ll even show you how long people are spending on your site, how many pages they view and a lot, lot more.
Make sure each post is at least 1,500 words.
Some people look at total number of words and things like 2k word posts are the best, others say 3k word posts are the best… I don’t believe that word count i.
There’s no magical “best number” for blog posts. It needs to be as long as it needs it to be – just make sure that what you’re writing is concise, doesn’t ramble and provides value. Aim for somewhere in the region of 2,000 – 5,000 words for a good, strong post.
If all of your posts are coming in at 500 – 750 words each then just don’t expect much from your blog. There’s rarely enough scope there to really dig down deep into an issue and help people figure something out.
Images are really important when it comes to blogging. What would you rather look at, huge walls of text or a really interesting image? So, especially on social media, people are going to be drawn in by great imagery, which will make them want to read the headline, instead of just scrolling straight past your blog post.
It also helps to keep people engaged whilst they’re reading through longer posts. 3k+ words or more need more images, not only that but . Make sure you’re using alt tags with every image as well – they really help your SEO.
Titles are a bit like sign posts. Some people never just don’t about them, even though their lives would be a whole lot more difficult if they couldn’t see them.
If people aren’t interested in your title then it’s unlikely people will be clicking on to your post, especially if your blog title isn’t displayed alongside a relevant and high quality image.
Focus your titles around being interesting, attention grabbing and unique, in that order. Study the titles that highly successful bloggers use. Use tools like Portent’s Content Idea Generator or read posts such as rel=”nofollow”>HubSpot’s guide to writing catchy titles to get you on the right track.
Once you’re done you’ve got some ideas, use CoSchedule’s title analyser (I love this tool) to really get you on the right track.
Write down what you started with and compare it against what you ended up with – make a note of the differences. Eventually you won’t need any tools!
Blogging regularly has many benefits. Once you break that barrier of actually hitting your weekly or monthly targets, your blog is going to thrive. It can be hard, so don’t give up.
The more active your pages are, the more likely search engines are going to change how often they visit your site for updates. When you do blog regularly, they’ll be coming back more quickly, so all of the SEO goodness each blog post provides will start affecting your site more quickly.
Do Blogging and SEO Make for Good DIY Projects?
Yes and no. Anyone can put words onto a screen and call it a blog. It’s just another case of do you want to be that business owner frantically rushing around every day trying to complete a million tasks that they only sort of know how to do? Or would you rathergreat work, being the best that they can be and helping you smash your long term business goals?
It doesn’t matter if you’re the owner, an employee or someone is outsourcing to you. If blogging and SEO isn’t part of what you do every day, or you’ve got no experience or real training, then eventually you’re going to struggle to create the positive results you want to see. Everything will take longer too.
By all means, start off doing this yourself, entirely on your own if needs be, there’s loads that you can achieve without paid help. But go into it expecting to delegate this area of work to someone else that knows what they’re doing or you’ll be costing your company dearly in the long run.
In over 5 years of running my own business, and helping so many others launch and market their own, I’ve learned that there’s no substitute for a strong a team. You can’t do everything and if you do, you’re stunting the growth of your business.
I know this because I used to think the same way. I used to think that I could do everything, that working with other people would be difficult. I was wrong. And it slowed my business growth as a result – I don’t want that to happen to you.
Blogging and SEO can be responsible for generating anything from hundreds, to hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of opportunities/work/contracts/leads or whatever it is you’re trying to get. That’s a fact. Now, would you rather wait one year or five to get to the higher numbers?
Lots of companies offer to blog for you, taking on the entire role. Personally I disagree with that, unless they have a lot of knowledge in the industry they’re writing about. Usually those people cost a lot of money, too much for most small business to justify.
Instead of outsourcing it all and simply praying that what they come back with isn’t terrible, (who doesn’t love that feeling..!?), work with people that know what they’re doing and can make life easier for you.
Writing for your blog is one thing, optimising it and turning a good post into a great piece of content that’s easy for people to find is something else entirely and can take up a hell of a lot of time. That time would simply be better spent on doing what you do best for your business.
Content Strategy. Planning out multiple blog posts, or a whole series, and creating strong, effective, SEO friendly titles for each one.
Looking at how new blog posts can connect to the rest of your site and link out to others for the best impact on SEO.
Gaining access to better photography and imagery libraries as well as having someone else take care of adding photos and images to each blog post.
Making sure that the blog area on your website and every post are designed, structured and laid out in the best way for both users and SEO.
Working with you to improve grammar and sentence structure to ensure that all of your posts are easy to read for as many people as possible.
General advice and tips on a regular basis to help you/your team improve over time.
This is the kind of relationship that will turn painful five hour tasks into enjoyable two hour tasks.
When you are starting out with nothing, you do not need to be spending money. Of course it helps, and it’ll certainly speed things up, but you do not need to spend money.
People will tell you the opposite, usually the same ones trying to sell their half arsed SEO services.
Tell them where to go.
All you need to know is the basics behind what’s going to improve your SEO and what’s going to harm it so that you can avoid making mistakes. Just remember that – I see enough people getting taken advantage of with “magical SEO solutions” that never work. I don’t want that to happen to you.
That said, there’s only so far you can go with all of this before you should star unless of course you want to give up your position as the boss and become a full time blogger or marketer.
There are lots of little things that you can get help with when it comes to blogging, which is going to save you a ton of time both short term and long term. And because you’re not hiring someone to do every part of it, you’re going to save a lot of money.
For small business owners, working with someone is definitely going to be your best option, let’s take a look at what makes up blogging and which bits you can get help with.
Successful blogging is made up of three main areas. If you efforts fall short in any one of these then you’res you achieve – if any.
Strategy – Knowing who your blog needs to target iisn’t just about knowing that, for example, many of your customers are busy people. It’s about knowing that these busy people are all desperately looking for advice on how to delegate effectively within their industry or niche and find the right people to help their business grow. That’s actionable information that helps you the best direction to steer your blog in.
That’s the start, then it’s all about generating ideas, turning those ideas into series of blog posts and how to effectively link them all up.
Knowledge – You can’t blog if you don’t have any valuable information to share. It’s as simple as that, you have to become an authority in whatever industry, market or niche you operate in. You’ve got to write in a way that gives people what they’re looking for, quickly.
Most people have things they can blog about, but they either know or struggle to find a way to put it into a blog post that’s going to be well received. Having a second opinion from an outside perspective is really going to help some people.
Seo & Marketing Expertise – This is all the nitty gritty optimisation of your blog posts and general content marketing efforts. From meta data, alt tags and keyword usage to promotion, blogging & SEO best practices and guidance on writing techniques best suited to your audience, there’s a lot to learn
It all goes back to not outsourcing the whole thing and just paying for what you need. Writing can be really enjoyable, but not when you’re spending hours coming up with title ideas, constantly second guessing every other paragraph you write and can’t figure out why more people aren’t visiting your site.
We can help you with two of the three key elements above, strategy and SEO. But we can’t do it all, you need to input your knowledge into this otherwise it’s not going to work. The way I see it is that you’re the one driving, we’re just the passengers pointing out things you might not have seen or been able to think about whilst focusing on directly what’s in front of you.
give us a call or send an email. We can have a chat and see if this is the right direction for you and your business – if it’s not, we’ll be the first to tell you.
If you want to ask any questions, discuss anything covered in this post or anything else then please leave a comment below – I’ll reply to each and every one.

Q: Can't get networkd-dispatcher scripts working I need to disable offloading on my Kubernetes host persistently due to various bugs.
I followed the guide here: https://michael.mulqueen.me.uk/2018/08/disable-offloading-netplan-ubuntu/ but the script isn't getting run. I've put an echo statement saving to disk, and it isn't, so I know it's not being run.
The script is executable and owned by root, I've even given it 777 just to test, and still doesn't run.
A: The missing step is to enable networkd-dispatcher service at boot:
# systemctl enable networkd-dispatcher.service
To verify they were executed at boot time check journal with:
# journalctl -b -u networkd-dispatcher
A: I encountered what I thought was unexpected behaviour for this setup, but it turned out I just wasn't thinking about it right.

We hope to see you in Prague!
We are pleased to announce that we have added 4 confirmed keynote speakers to the Call for Papers of ESTS 2018 in Prague (15-17 November)! For more information, please check out the updated CFP. Please also note that the deadline for submitting an abstract (30 April 2018) is approaching!
The Faculty of Polish Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow and the Institut des Textes & Manuscrits Modernes (ITEM) in Paris are pleased to invite you to participate in the international conference.
GENESIS – CRACOW 2019 will be the second edition of a new series of conferences on genetic criticism, understood as the study of the creative process. The first edition, held on 7-9 June 2017 in Helsinki (Finland), was organized by the Finnish Literature Society and Institut des Textes & Manuscrits Modernes in Paris. The participants included scholars from Finland, France, Austria, Belgium, England, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey, Wales and Canada.
The Cracow conference, like the Helsinki event, welcomes researchers interested in literature, theatre, music, painting and other fields of human activity in which the creative process is of central importance. Consequently, not only the outcome, but the process itself will be the focus of the conference.
As announced at the Member’s Meeting at ESTS 2017 in Alcalá, the Society’s 15th annual conference will be held in Prague, Czech Republic and take place from 15 to 17 November 2018. This year’s theme will be ‘Author as Editor and Editor as Author’, and its Call for Proposals has just been opened, with the deadline for submissions set on 30 April 2018. For more information on this CFP, please refer to the conference page.
For more information and details of registration please see https://barpgroup.wordpress.com/ or send an email to [email protected]
ESTS 2017 – Registration open!
Variants 12/13 is out!
September 21, 2017September 21, 2017 / Wout Dillen / 1 Comment
ESTS is happy to announce that the new issue of Variants, the annual, peer-reviewed journal of The European Society for Textual Scholarship, is out now!
Variants 12/13 is the first issue in the series that is published in Open Access via the Revues.org platform at https://variants.revues.org/. Individuals and institutions can subscribe to the journal by taking out membership in the Society which entitles them to a printed copy of the journal and immediate online access to the newest volume. A one-year moratorium applies to volumes in Open Access, that has been waived for the current issue because the move to our new Open Access publisher has considerably delayed the issue’s publication.
The official re-launch of Variants will take place in Alcalá de Henares, at the 2017 edition of our annual conference (23-24 November 2017). We hope to see you there!
via Isabel de la Cruz Cabanillas
As some of you were not able to make it on time, we have decided to extend the deadline for submitting abstracts for the next ESTS Conference: Editorial Degrees of Intervention. The new deadline is May, 15th.

 The surprise for you was having left the old vibrations behind, you also gained a new start with as you would say “a clean sheet” with none of the old energies remaining.  The most exciting prospect is the eventual appearance of a number of Extraterrestrials who are strongly associated with the Human Race. They have followed your progress for thousands of years and helped you along, without infringing your freewill. You may be new souls in terms of time as you know it, but in reality you are very old souls that have been around for eons of time. As Human Beings you are adding to your existing experience, so that eventually you can become mentors to others who can benefit from it. It is normal for those who have become well advanced to help others who follow on, and can benefit from their experience. Can you see how eventually groups grow bigger and bigger, as more evolved souls join them.
It has been a very long time since you reached this point in your evolution.  Take it with both hands and more than ever before, focus on what you want out of life as you now have every chance of being successful. Bear in mind that much of what we talk about is your potential as your time line is opening up before you, and exactly what path it takes is down to your collective focus. Some may wonder how the dark Ones are kept at bay, and we have to say whilst they are still a threat but their power is being curtailed. They will continue to be denied the resources they have previously plundered from others, and funding their operations will be found to be their Achilles heel. There is no way that they will be able to indefinitely fund their activities, as many of those channels are being closed.
Many thanks to all of the Dear Ones who freely give of their time and are dedicated to circulating the messages of Light and Love. Have a great New Year and may you get all that you would wish yourself.

This spring, on the weekend before Valentine’s Day, The School of Music Opera Theatre will perform Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance” in Schneebeck Concert Hall. However, the timing and location of this production has recently caused some controversy due to the fact that in previous years Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” has been performed in Schneebeck on that weekend.
The timing of the “Monologues” is not random. Many organizations that produce “The Vagina Monologues” do so in concurrence with V-day (Feb. 14), according to senior Hallie Conyers, who has both acted in and directed the “Monologues.” The V-day movement is a “global activist movement to end violence against women and girls,” (vday.org).
Each year, the University’s production of “The Vagina Monologues” includes between 30 and 50 students. It is all-inclusive, allowing everyone who auditions to get a part. Men are invited to participate as well, however per the rules for performing the “Monologues,” they are not allowed to perform because, as Conyers put it, “they don’t have vaginas.”
According to Conyers, the relatively large cast is “already a huge logistical nightmare without having to find a space to use.”
“We decided upon the…dates last spring considering the orchestra’s entire season while we were putting together the School of Music calendar for the year,” Padula said.
While the scheduling conflicts themselves have caused stress for Conyers and those involved in “The Vagina Monologues,” Conyers felt that the whole situation points to “a disconnect between the administration’s priorities and the priorities for women on this campus.”
Partially, Conyers believed, this is due to the fact that the “Monologues” are entirely student run, and until last year, were student funded as well.
With no connections to the theatre department or any academic department, those involved in the “Monologues” are essentially left to fend for themselves, though they are associated with the Vulva Anti-Violence Association (VAVA).
“We are the only ones, to my knowledge, who have said anything about this…no one is saying anything about the fact that women just got shoved off the schedule,” senior Megan Chambers, a theatre minor and Vagina Monologues enthusiast who has previously acted in the production, said.
For Conyers the monologues are important because they bring a “new side…to thinking about women, and women’s rights, everyone’s rights, really.”
“I love The Vagina Monologues, I think it’s such a cool mixture of…political statement and theater…you just don’t see that very often,” Chambers said.
This personal investment in “The Vagina Monologues” contributed to Conyers and Chamber’s frustration over this year’s scheduling conflicts.
“Part of [the issue] is about women’s rights…we get to hear about penises all the time…the moment women start to talk about their vagina…people flip their s***…I’m tired of the double standard…it’s not jut about genitalia, it’s about other things that are okay to talk about when it comes to men that women are supposed to keep to themselves…‘The Vagina Monologues’ is our weekend of the year when we get to get out and shout about vaginas…I just think that’s really awesome,” Chambers said.
“I’ve spent so much time being mad…but now we’re moving forward,” Conyers said. As of Oct. 12, “The Vagina Monologues” will be performed in Kilworth Chapel. Conyers and others are positive about this new development.

The first day of my subscription was last night. Work was crazy – at 5:52, in the middle of a conference call after a long meeting, I suddenly remembered I had until 6 to pick up my box. I thought for a minute "Do I stay here on this call or go get it?
"How do the vegetables look?
"I don't know – I just threw them in the car. I haven't looked yet."
Standing alone in my kitchen, I yelled "Escarole!Hooray!"

Over the weekend Activision PR dude Dan Amrich posted on his site some very cool little secrets to be found in the “Nuketown” multiplayer map in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Some highlights include a totally rad double rainbow in the distance, a clock tower that displays the time left on the map, and a town billboard with a population that tells you the number of live players on the map.
Even though I think Nuketown is the worst multiplayer map in the game by far and embodies everything wrong with typical Call of Duty-style multiplayer, it’s neat of Treyarch to pull out all the stops and give the fans some nice little Easter eggs to discover.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is available now on the PC, XBOX 360, and PS3.

A LEGEND NEVER DIES
Posted by Clark Kincaid – August 16, 2011
When an automobile accident left Max Starkloff a quadriplegic at age 21, his family sent him to a rural nursing home where he quickly concluded, “This is no way to spend a life.” He then began to conceptualize the idea that a disabled person could live independently.
This is my portrait of Max. I worked with hims to promote Paraquad, the organization Max founded. Among its many successes, ParaquadMax was a relentless crusader and tenacious watchdog for the disabled. He met with three standing US presidents in an effort to promote barrier-free access to businesses and homes. Max’s tireless efforts ho install lifts on city buses. Due in part to his efforts, St. Louis also built wheelchair-accessible sidewalks, improved general accessibility and provided parking for the disabled. Max also helped promote assistive technologies society.
Max’s immortal soul left his broken body on December 27, 2010. He was known for what he could do — not what he couldn’t do — but he never wanted to be considered a hero. So I’ll just say he was an extraordinarily ordinary person whose accomplishments will live forever.

Have you filed your taxes yet? Or, are you like many and wait until closer to the deadline to file? While the whole tax filing process is stressful for most people, yu will be getting a refund. A refund for most people means vacations, splurging on a new toy, or if you are good, paying down debt you have. But, this yeargetting a refund or at least not what you were hoping for, due to having to pay a health care insurance penalty.
"Did you know that 48% of Americans don't know upcoming 2014 tax returns? TurboTax Health provides users with the tools to understand health care and your taxes, no matter your health insurance situation. So get educated, get ahead, and get your maximum return this tax season."
So, what do you need to know when preparing to file your taxes this year? Well, TurboTax has taken the guesswork out of what you need to know about this new ACA requirement by sharing information for insured filers, marketplace insured filers and uninsured filers through their TurboTax Health section. In addition to sharing an overview about this new requirement, TurboTaxhealth insurance premium discount, through their Enrollment Guide. This Enrollment Guide is greathaving trouble paying their current health insurance, have Medicare, Medicaid or VA, or are insured on their own.
I answered the straightforward questions and found that my family could save about $234 per person on health insurance costs. Then, I was redirected to a marketplace that shows health insurance plans available in my state and what the costs would be -- including monthly costs, deductibles, office co-pays, ER visits, etc. I have to say that I was impressed with how everything was spelled out and there for you, without having to open up additional web browsers to seek out further information. You could even check to see if your current doctor accepts the health coverage plans offered through the marketplace.
For those who didn't have health insurance coverage, or have started 2015 without coverage, the exemption check section found at TurboTax Health is something you want to check out. Similar to the enrollment guide, the Exemption Check area will ask you a series of questions, which takes about 3 minutes,and will not have to pay the health care penalty, which is now in place beginning this tax filing year, and onward.
Check out TurboTaxHealth.com to learn more about your health insurance and taxes, including finding out if you're exempt from the tax penalty.
The unknown is one reason why so many people dread tax time. The unknown about how much you may owe compared to getting money back, not knowing how much a CPA or tax accountant will charge to do your taxes (some charge upwards of $500-800, depending on how complicated your filing is, or how much you are getting back). But, thanks to TurboTax, you can breath easier for so many reasons. Not only does TurboTax simplify the whole tax filing process through their online or software based filing system, but they also provide 10t guarantees. So, you know that when you file using TurboTax that you will be getting the maximumTurboTax searches over 350 credits and deductions, while also double checking your returns to maximize our refund, so you are not left wondering if you should have gotten back more once you hit the send button. I began using TurboTax a few years ago after having had a few bad experiences with tax accountants. Either they charged too much for services after finding out how much we were getting back, or they didn't check and see if there were additional credits and deductions that applied to us, thus putting more money into our pockets, or reducing the amount we owed. While we never had to go through audit based on what our tax accountant had filed, I personally know a few people who had, and this was one stressful situation that they never want to relive.
With easy step-by-step guidance, TurboTax walks you through the different tax filing sections, and has you double check your responses before saving and moving on. And, if you are like me and don't have time to sit and file your taxes in one sitting, you'll love the ability to save your taxes and information you provide, and go back to it at a later time.
I have found working in piece meal also makes the whole tax filing process a more pleasant one, as I don't have to wrack my brain for hours, trying to stay in tax-mode, with little ones running around the house or needing my attention. I am able to pull up my taxes on my phone, tablet and computer and pick up where I left off, before saving again and again, and going back until I am done and ready to file.
And, best of all, I don't have to worry about finding myself shocked about the cost of filing using TurboTax. They list their pricing directly on their website, and will never tack on hidden costs. And, as a bonus, through February 16th, you can take advantage of the Absolute Zero promotion that TurboTax is offering and file your federal AND states for FREE, if you're one of the 60 million who file using a simple return (1040A/EZ) Try saying that about competitors, who share for state filings, etc.
So, as you gather up your paperwork needed to file your taxes for 2014, why not making the whole filing experience a more pleasant one, by using TurboTax. I am so happy I made the switch to TurboTax a few years back and haven't thought about switching. With their 100% calculations check and getting my family the maximum tax refund we deserve, I know I am in good hands with TurboTax. And, you will be too! Visit TurboTax to learn more today. And, don't forget to check out their TurboTax Health educational tool, to make sure you have the necessary health coverage or exemption, to prevent being hit with a tax penalty.
There are even videos that explain the step by step process of ACA reporting based on your filing status, so you report accordingly and act for 2015, making sure you have health coverage in place to prevent a future ACA penalty come tax time.
Check out how TurboTax works for insured filers, uninsured filers and thos a state marketplace.
Once you start the tax filing process, you will find yourself raving to family and friends about the easy to navigate user interface.
You'll never question if you are forgetting to add in a particular number or information, as you will be prompted for all necessary information through the different sections, which are broken down, making the whole tax filing process easy. Then, you can think about what you will do if you have money coming back to you...plan a family vacation, enjoy a spa day, buy a tech gadget or other toy you have been eying, etc. But, first you have to get your taxes done, and make sure you are covered when it comes to health insurance for 2014 and 2015, so you don't have to pay a hefty penalty.
I have not used Turbo Tax in years it is good to know that they have added these new features thanks for sharing this one.

So until they invent mind reading (no, please don’t) you need to materialize the vision you have for your game so others can see it.
So what is a Concept Artist ?
Basically, the concept artist is the closest thing to a mind reader.
Phase 1 – Materialization
You describe the scenes of your game by waving your hands and showing him examples of other games and they sketch up images based on that for you to review.
After that first materialization of the ideas, you see they look a bit different then what you imagined and you start the next phase:
Phase 2 – Refinements
After the initial sketches are made, you start changing things and trying different scenarios. “What if that character has a hat, what if the character stands, how would it look like if the head was bigger, what if…, how would…”
At the end you should have a decent amount of sketches about the components you intend to include (characters, power ups, weapons, etc.) that will serve as a rough guide for the artist to work on.
The octopus is especially awesome looking and the pirate sitting in the barrel is not so bad either.
This will need work. Already we can start thinking of how to integrate the cannon into this image, on deck maybe? From the inside sticking out ? We’ll see.
version 1 – a closed side view
version 2 – a split side view
Here we have a typical ballista that would be on top of the deck of the ship and fire down at the enemies. And then we have the bad-ass flamethrower canon with a candle at the end to light it. We think this was a fantastics idea the concept artist came up with. Also the barrel and the pump to get the fuel inside is a nice touch.
and pretty soon we had a mock of a (very cruel) potential gameplay lookalike
Hmm, not a AAA game (yet), but we can start seeing some challenges that we will be facing, such as the size of the background water vs. sky, how much of each ?
So now we have some material that we can use to discuss and point fingers at when defining the overall look & feel for the game.
These will serve as guides for the graphic artist who will then start applying different styles to these characters/images.
Next time: From ass to assets

Backroom Striptease is an aqua leaning blue-green with microshimmer. If you've seen the film, you'll know exactly what scene the name refers to!
He Skewered Kim is a cool champagne with a metallic finish. It's neutral but has such a beautiful sheen. I love this one.
This is Lemonade is a mustard yellow with pink sparkles. It's a pretty unique color, I can't think of any similar colors. This one and some of the other non-metallic shades in this collection needs a sticky base to really get the shimmer to pop.
Dancing in the Snow is an icy white with iridescent shimmer.
(Make sure you watch these in HD 1080P!)
Blending is the Secret is a purple-toned periwinkle blue with pink sparkles.
Haircut Anyone? is a murky green with a violet shift.
Scissors, Paper, Stone is a hazy grey with pink sparkles.
We're Not Sheep is a matte white.
Razor Sharp Karate Chop is a bright metallic silver.
Because You Asked is a sheer champagne with pink shimmer.
Avon Calling is a medium orchid with tons of blue and pink sparkle. If you're only going to get one shade from this collection, this would be the one I recommend! It's stunning.
Dancing in the Snow is on my inner corner, Avon Calling on the lower lash line for a pop of color.
The collection leans heavily on the cool-side, with a few neutral shades to break it up. All shadows are either shimmery or metallic finishes except for We're Not Sheep and I'm Not Finished (matte brown). I don't particularly gravitate towards cooler tones but there are some gems in here. My favorites were He Skewered Kim and Avon Calling. As a fan of the film, I think the colors and names go perfectly together and really evoke fond memories of watching it growing up.
In regards to the other products in the collection, I've tried them all except I Have a Doctor Friend Pucker Paint and the Show and Tell Baby Blush. I've tried the other shades in the Baby Blush range and like them a lot. They last well on the cheeks and leave behind a pretty stain on the lips. I have a sample of the lip conditioning treatment and the maple scent is strong, VERY strong. I'm not a big fan of heavily scented lip products so it's a bit of a miss for me. I'd be interested in a non-scented version though. The other Pucker Paint in this set is Ambrosia Salad and I absolutely love it! I haven't discussed the Pucker Paint line much here on my blog but they're one of my favorite matte liquid lipstick formulas. Ambrosia Salad is a beautiful deep pink with gold iridescence. It's long-wearing and more comfortable to wear than a lot of other matte liquids I've tried. Here's a shot of me wearing it from my sister's wedding rehearsal!

Louisville Public Media – Podcast Incubator
Julie Drizin, Executive Director | September 23, 2022
LPM’s Director of Podcasts & Special Projects Laura Ellis, a Peabody Award-winning producer, was responsible for the incubator’s launch in March 2021.
At its launch, the incubator received over 75 submissions. Pitches included podcasts about Black women reinventing their careers in mid-life, an oral history of Louisville’s 2020 protests, a how-to show where a drag queen teaches you how to navigate civic processes like applying for Medicaid or running for office, and a pitch from four Asian-American Kentuckians, who would become the co-creators of the Podcast Incubator’s first “incubaby.”
Knowing that podcasting was not their expertise, the team pitched their idea to LPM, who saw its value and chose it to be part of the incubator. Through the program, LPM offered strategic and production assistance, as well as promotional support to bring the podcast “Where Y’all Really From?” to life, knowingn light of the prevalence of anti-Asian and anti-immigrant sentiment.
The second “incubaby” to be launched from the Podcast Incubator, “Sprinkle Sparkle”, released in September 2022. Creator Nubia Bennett desired to tell stories about BIPOC women finding and centering joy in their lives.

For me Stack Overflow is a place to learn. Every time someone comes to visit the site, either to read or to ask something, it's because he/she wants to learn something. And a quiz can help people to learn.
I saw plenty of quiz in the past while surfing the site.
You did not ask the question the smart way. If you had posted a minimal and complete example of the code, showed the output that it produced, and then asked for an explanation of why it was producing that output, your question would likely not have been closed.
Mind you, it would not have been a good question, and is therefore likely to have received downvotes, but it would have been on topic.
Please do not ask "quiz" questions that are obviously copy-pasted from a quiz. I do not believe that you have seen other examples of these on the site, and if you have, it's only because we missed closing them.
And a quiz can help people to learn.
No, quizzes don't help anyone to learn anything. They test someone's knowledge (in theory) to see if they have already learned something. No one who answers questions here is interested in taking a quiz.
? I'm sorry then...
There is no problem to be solved in the question you asked. Not the educational kind, at least. You either know the answer or you don't. That's the opposite of learning. "Why is the sky blue?" Did you learn anything?
What if I say yes? spaceplace.nasa.gov/blue-sky/en. A quiz force you to search for the answerThis makes absolutely no sense.
" -- Certainly it has; however, Stack Overflow does not encompass all possible ways of learning.
A quiz question is not a practical problem. We have dedicated site for programming puzzles but this question won't fit there, either.
If you see one of those, you should flag to close the question as off-topic.
Well, certain quiz questions might also happen to be practical problems. Many won't, this particular one isn't.
Can I warn people?
