Turkey's ailing economy has most likely plunged into a recession over the last month thanks to the rising crisis with the nation's currency, and a fragile banking sector, according to new research from Capital Economics, reports Business Insider. On Wednesday, Jason Tuvey, a senior emerging markets economist at the research house told clients in a note titled "Turkey entering a steep recession" that data coming out of the country is indicating pretty clearly that a recession has arrived, and that it will be officially confirmed by the end of the year. "The latest Turkish activity data suggest that the plunge in the lira since May, and the associated sharp tightening of financial conditions, has tipped the economy into recession," he wrote. While the lira has been falling since May, issues in Turkey first came to mainstream attention when the lira's slump intensified after the Trump administration placed a series of sanctions against Turkey in retaliation for its refusal to release Andrew Brunson. Brunson is an American pastor detained by Turkish authorities for his alleged support for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party and the Gulenist movement, both of which are accused of being involved in 0000's failed coup against President Erdogan. A falling currency tends to mean rising inflation as the cost of imports increase, and that is just what has happened in Turkey. Even prior to the lira's second collapse after US sanctions, inflation had already hit a 00-year high in July - close to 00%. "The latest signs show that higher inflation, coupled with a severe tightening of financial conditions, is filtering through into an abrupt slowdown in economic growth," Tuvey wrote. Thanks to a strong start to 0000, Turkey's economy is likely to grow at a solid pace over the course of the year, but in the second half, a recession has clearly taken hold, Tuvey concluded. "The economy is likely to contract by 0-0% y/y in Q0 of this year and in the first half of 0000. Our forecasts for stagnation in 0000 and growth of 0.0% in 0000 lie towards the bottom of the consensus," he wrote. This bad performance of the Economic Confidence Index in August is due to continued deterioration in economic data, particularly inflation, and political stress, particularly in the face of US sanctions. Another reason for the deterioration is that bond interest rates have risen to the highest levels in recent years for the same reasons. Given that inflation will continue to rise in the coming months, it is difficult to find a basis for a robust recovery of confidence indices. On the other hand, the lira against the dollar recovering partly from 0.0 to 0.0 level tells us that the rapid slide experienced in August Confidence Index might not repeat next month. But in the larger picture, the government's general approach to economic management will continue to weaken confidence as economic indicators will deteriorate further along with lira, when 0H0000 GDP growth will pave its way to a rapid economic contraction and a prolong recession thereafter, wrote PA Intelligence columnist Mrs. Guldem Atabay Sanli.

THE LOOK-EAST PROJECT will finally air on ntv0! THE LOOK-EAST PROJECT (aka PANDANG KE TIMUR) will be on air! Sunday, 00th November 0000, 00:00pm. On ntv0... your feel good channel! Please spread the word people! Been following your blog. Proud of you bro. today is 0 nov... mean taht hav to wait another eleven day to watch your film. hiks! thank you ilyas sir! tidak hilang flatland di dunia! Good for you Zan. Really proud of you. Will surely watch. I know it will be good. just stopping by to say hi to my best friend Zan.. wish you the best and good luck.. whoaa.... just in time I visit this blog! I was afraid I might miss the show. haha, goodwork bro! and Goodluck! haa haa.. secara tak sengaja tertengok ... sbb tgh tunggu cite jepun "bleach" .. macam pernah tgk cite nie.. tapi di dimana ya? hi there, I watched your show yesterday, it is very very interesting. The film is very penetrative, from gender stereotype issues to the social living in the East-coast of Malaysia. From my point of view, Malaysia as a multi-racial and so called "Islamic" country often bound to these issues, it is inevitable. Malaysians should realize it and stand up for it, spread the message, gain a certain liberty, or democracy, form a community without any prejudice and stereotypes. hepi sgt tgk,sbb cite awk ttg ngeri ktorg..camne la awk leh terpk nk bt cite ttg org ganu ni.klau blh sy nk copy cite ni,blh? Saw your documentary from start to the end. Not bad. You have a flair for movie making. The Indy type,eh? Anyway, congratulations on yr success in selling the film to NTV0. Btw, my missus taught u at MCC in either 00 or 00. She's proud of u for yr progress that u hv made. All the best to u Zan! i love your documentary ! i will be moving to terengganu soon . uhuks . and it made me want to move there . lolz . hi idetrorce. what don't you agree with? Saw your show Pandang Ke Timur on TV. Initially just channel surfing and ended up wathcing your show from start till end. Good stuff man!. Hope to see our local TV give more support to talented movie makers like you.

I run a small business, Glencadia Dog Camp. In August 0000, the town of Stuyvesant began a campaign to shut the business down and destroy the livelihoods of my family and my employee one or, sometimes, employees, two. After the shocking and unconstitutional revocation of my permit without a hearing or any due process, I have been fighting back against the town of Stuyvesant, clearly a town in which corrupt practices flourish in government. This anti-corruption blog and all the issues discuss, all the malfeasance reported, all of that came out of the revocation of the permit to operate my business in 0000. I will be before Judge Bruno on March 0, 0 pm to answer a criminal citation, possibly leading to a jury trial at some later date with penalties up to 00 days in jail, and on Monday, March 00, 0000 at 0:00 pm at the Stuyvesant Town Hall for a planning board public hearing which may help determine whether the business I built with considerable investment of time and money can be shut down by town officials with no just cause. With all these hearings, I will be asking folks to come out and support me a few times over the next few months and I would like to take a moment to tell you why you should. Right now, I hope to get people to come to the planning board in March. One: the charges are false and trivial but the stakes are high. If the town is allowed to shut my business down, my family will be rendered poor and all my investments will go down the drain. Hopefully, a few of you will be moved simply on that basis. Am I innocent? Yes, yes. Have we as a family suffered? Yes. Is there any public interest in this protracted battle over nothing? No. Three: the town of Stuyvesant is corrupt and the Columbia County Board of Supervisors doesn't seem to care. With Valerie Bertram as chair of the Ethics Board and no hearing on the matter, the Columbia County Board of Supervisors is sending a clear signal: they care more about each other and their private interests than in protecting the public, stopping government corruption and graft and growing the economy. No one is watching the store, folks. It's open season on your tax money. Look for yourself at this and this. If the people, the voters, don't take a stand against corruption, government waste and corruption will continue to sap the economic vitality out of the county. Corruption and waste can end if we take a stand. In my small way, I have and I was punished for it. In Egypt, Tunisia, Libya the threat of death did not stop the people from standing up to corruption and we should be able to get in our cars and drive to 0 Sunset Drive in Stuyvesant NY 00000 on March 00 to take a stand in favor of economic development and against government corruption. Children, don't get weary. Open, accountable government and a good climate for investment and economic growth are the same thing in principle and in my case specifically. Like jobs? Come on over to the hearing. Hate corruption? Join me on March 00. A year ago, I never thought I would have to fight for my constitutional rights. Now I know better. Think you will never have a problem? That's what I thought; you never know. Don't sleep on your rights. Join me and take a stand for the constitution and our economic future right here in Columbia County. Thank you. Oh and here's another reason to show up: PLEASE! Pretty please! Thanks.

Home > News > Industry News > What is Black Oxide? The black oxide process is a chemical conversion coating. This means that the black oxide is not deposited on the surface of the substrate like nickel or zinc electroplating. Instead, the black oxide coating is produced by a chemical reaction between the iron on the surface of the ferrous metal and the oxidizing salts present in the black oxide solution. These oxidizing salts include penetrates, catalysts, activators and proprietary additives which all take part in the chemical reaction. The result of this chemical reaction is the formation of black iron oxide, magnetite (Fe0O0), on the surface of the metal being coated. Black oxide has a range of unique properties and benefits that can be applied to a variety of industries. Applying a supplementary post treatment after the black oxide finish is commonly used to increase the corrosion protection properties of black oxide coatings. Alone, black oxide offers only a very mild corrosion resistance. A properly applied post treatment, allowing full absorption of the supplementary coating into the pores of the black oxide finish, enhances the corrosion protection to the metal, while producing a deeper black appearance. An appropriate post treatment also increases the resistance to abrasion of the black oxide where break-in of mating parts is required. Oil post treatments are frequently used after black oxide coating. The oil can be either water-soluble or water displacing and can be controlled so that a fairly heavy oil film is left on the part or so that the part is virtually dry to the touch. Of course, less oil means less corrosion protection. A clear wax or acrylic may also be used as an alternative, dry to the touch post treatment, where absolutely no oil film is desired.

This is our second blog post on our Careers in Theatre event which was held back in February. If you haven't already, read out first post here. This blog post will focus on the discussions and insights gained from the second panel, which included professionals working within performing, producing and technical roles. Whilst studying for her BA in Drama and Theatre Arts at UoB Elizabeth started her professional career with various companies: The Birmingham Opera Company (Life is a Dream, Mittwoch aus Licht), FRED theatre company (The Lasting Sense of Sudden, The Diary of a Nobody) and Birmingham REP (Eat!). Whilst training for her MA in Acting at ArtsEd she featured in a music video (Moving London) and in her last term landed her London debut as Francesca in the four month run of Heartbreak Hotel. In the last month she starred in Swing By Around 0 as Katherine, and featured in an advert for Virgin Active. Jake works closely with the RSC's Artistic team providing administrative support for selected productions in Stratford- Upon-Avon, London and on tour both across the UK and Internationally. Prior to the RSC Jake worked in a similar role at Chichester Festival Theatre and before that worked as an Assistant/ Deputy Stage Manager for a number of companies across the UK (ZHO Visual Theatre, Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse Theatre's , Bolton Octagon Theatre, English Touring Theatre, Goodnight Mister Tom Ltd). Laura has been working as a Production Assistant at The REP for nearly three years. She provides key support to the Head of Production and Production Manager, as well as the Heads of Department for sound, lighting, wardrobe, workshop, paintshop, props, stage and stage management. Previously Laura worked at the National Theatre as costume administrator for the large costume department and at Arts Council England as the performing arts assistant and then the assistant officer for literature and photography. As a young technician Pete has tried to keep his work inside Birmingham and has sustained a more than full time career in the industry since graduating from the Drama and Theatre Arts course at Birmingham in 0000. He has now settled in a full time job as Technical Manager at The Ruddock Performing Arts Centre (Edgbaston) where his creativity is stretched and knowledge of the ever morphing industry grows. Pete has shifted his skills to centre his career around helping to drive a new venue forward by working with creative teams from professional companies, charities and community performance groups spanning the full spectrum of performing arts. The questions asked by students were specific to the areas that our panellists are specialists in; therefore this post will be split into three sections accordingly. Elizabeth told the group about her busy and slightly unusual start into her professional acting career in London. She landed her London debut whilst still training at drama school therefore her days consisted of school in the day, and then leaving early to go to theatre to do a show. It was a very busy period for her until her course finished and her time was freed up a bit more. Elizabeth had completed some acting jobs prior to this whilst still at university. She found these on www.artsjobs.org.uk, a free website that she highly recommends that advertises a wide variety of jobs in the sector, including performing and non-performing jobs. This was where she found auditions for acting jobs in Birmingham. She didn't get the first few things she auditioned for but pleaded with the room to "keep on trying." She highlighted the importance of networking and felt this helped her get her first job after building up some rapport with a casting director from auditioning for him a few times. Though opportunities for castings, lighting designers, stage managers etc are advertised on these groups, there will also be casual jobs offering the income and flexibility that actors need to support themselves alongside pursuing a career in the industry. Often employers are particularly looking for people who are performers or from the creative industry as the roles require approachability and confidence. These jobs are ideal for fitting in around auditions or performance opportunities. When taking on this type of work, it is important to be honest with your employer from the outset about your expectations of needing time off for auditions etc, they will respect your honesty and may be more flexible because of it. Elizabeth went straight to do her MA in Acting after graduating from UoB. She funded this via a loan from the bank. Interestingly, Elizabeth told us, "when I went to drama school I was the youngest by a long shot. Everyone else had had a few years off, getting money, getting loads of experience. They were all late twenties, early thirties, even forties, so being 00 and going straight to drama school to do a masters - I felt very young. And actually it made me think, instead of getting myself into loads of debt, I could have actually taken a few years out and that's definitely doable". This could be a very useful insight for students interested in pursuing an acting career with worries about how to fund it. It seems a misconception that one should go straight to drama school as soon as possible, but in reality this isn't the norm. Jake described his role as "a really reactive job where you're dealing with a lot of the whims of the artistic teams of a production." He explained how producers will work the artistic director to ensure all elements of the production are in tune with the organisation. Day to day, Jake does a lot of contract negotiation with touring venues, other producers and the creative team as well as negotiating with other departments at the RSC including events, exhibitions, marketing, education and research and development to make sure that everything is in keeping with the production. He also drafts and manages production budgets, research and development projects, coordinates RSC online concept trailers and assists in the management of the RSC Emerging Director programme. Jake is also lead producer for smaller scale RSC projects. The key element of his role is liaison and as Assistant Producer he benefits from seeing the production through its journey right from the beginning with the artistic director's vision to when the show finishes its run at the RSC. He describes it as "an interesting process to be a part of". Laura's role is very varied and often strange and wonderful requests appear, as is the nature of theatre. She provides all administrative support for the production team and production manages the Learning and Participation shows at The REP. Her role can be very admin-focused, dealing with invoices, keeping track of the production's budget and processing timesheets and contracts for casual staff. Her key role is to support the head of production and production manager with tasks such as creating schedules and contact sheets for shows, contacts and supporting with sound and lighting. As a freelance technician it's quite difficult in the first instance to pick up enough work to fund yourself fully if you've got overheads and bills. Pete stresses the importance of always keeping track of your accounts as you'll have a self-assessment at the end of the year and be sure to register as self-employed. Similarly to Elizabeth, Pete told students not to be afraid to have something else to support them whilst starting out. Pete himself worked in a bar on Broad Street. It's crucial to get your name out there as much as you can and not to be afraid if people say no. Once you've done a short contract somewhere, they'll often invite you back for another, if you've done a good job, and people within the industry talk to each other which can bring you more work. Pete told us "it seems like a big network but it's surprisingly small when you get to know people." Working in tech, you'll often build up your experience through a variety of contracts, and get to the point where you're getting phonecall after phonecall and you have to say no. He encouraged students to get on professional networks, as well as LinkedIn and twitter, but be sure to keep your social media professional. As a freelancer, be very careful about your work ethic, for example if you're late for a job, don't expect to get paid, and certainly don't expect to get called again. In terms of prior knowledge or qualifications needed when first starting out and going for tech jobs, Pete explains how "you can go round the houses and spend a lot of money on training and experience." Pete recommends making sure you're confident in tasks such as ‘sweeping the stage', "qualifications which sound ridiculous but you need to know how to do things like that." You need to be prepared to start at the bottom and don't be too overambitious with roles you're going for, be realistic and be yourself. Sometimes, some of the ‘desirable' criteria for a job aren't really necessary or called upon in the role itself, therefore use your common sense when applying and sell yourself. Pete advises getting some experience behind you initially, then consider when you've saved some money spending it on qualifications. When you're in the environment, make the most of it and observe how other people are doing their jobs. Offer to help and assist where you can to increase your own experience. Keep your eyes open in those jobs, watch how people are doing their jobs and ask questions - just make sure you get your jobs done first. The panel all agreed that within the industry, a positive, can-do attitude can go a long way. People who are reliable and easy to work with are highly sought after and it is in this instance where contacts you make are more likely to think of you when a suitable job opportunity may arise.

Last year I bought some almond flour. I used a bit, then froze it. Will it still be okay or should I buy some new stuff? It tastes fine but I wanted to be sure. Thanks! Ditto. In the freezer, fine for a year. It may clump some, which is especially an issue if you're using it right from the freezer, so keep that in mind. If it's frozen it should be fine. Taste a smidge - it spoils by going rancid, which tastes foul but isn't gonna kill you. Have you been keeping it in the freezer? I have a bag that's just about a year old and its doing fine in the freezer. Stellar Almond Flour (GF) pancake recipe?

The first to perform this masterwork of sound theatre in the UK, London Sinfonietta welcomed composer Beat Furrer to conduct the mesmerizing surround-sound performance at London's St John's Smith Square in 0000. They were joined by vocal group Exaudi, soloist Eva Furer on contrabass flute and the engaging Isabelle Menke playing the role of the young woman. Based on the novella Fräulein Else by Arthur Schnitzler, FAMA follows the story of a distressed young woman forced into prostitution in order to pay her father's debts. But in Furrer's music, nothing is as it first appears: linear time seems to dissolve and a momentary snapshot becomes the subject of an intense narrative, as Furrer gives audible expression to a series of shocking events.

Creating a List is the first step in the SmartForms process. It must be completed first. You will want to create your list at the subsite level. You may want to start by creating a new page for your form to live on, if the page does not exist already. After you have Checked In the page you want to build your form on, you will then create the List within the subsite of that page. 0. Go to the subsite, click Site Actions in the upper left corner, and select View All Site Content. 0. Give your list a name and click No for "Display this list on the Quick Launch?" Or, if you don't see it, expand More Options and select No when it asks to display the list on quick launch. *THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT: If you accidentally don't click No, you will need to put in a TSC ticket to have the word "LIST" removed from the left navigation of the subsite you're in. Make sure you have selected NO before clicking Create! Your list has been created! You need to populate it with the fields for your form. They can be questions, dropdowns, multiple choice, comment boxes, etc. In the List, the fields are called columns. You should already know what these fields will be. To make things easier, you should create them in the order you want them to appear on the form. Now we will add all the fields that we want to display in the form (here they are called columns). The type of the columns can be configured for each field. 0. In the ribbon, click on the List Settings button. By default, all Lists start with a Title column that is set to be a single line of text and is a required field. Let's change this to not be required. We don't have to use this field in our form later, so it makes sense to make it not required as our first step. 0. Click on the Title column link. 0. In the Additional Column Settings section, to the right is the "Require that this column contains information" option. Select No and click OK. If your first field on your form will be the filler's name, let's start by making that the first field column. 0. In your List Settings, under Columns look towards the bottom under the line and click Create Column. 0. Give it a name by entering what you want the field to say in the Column Name area. 0. Select Single line of text for this type of field. If you want to require that this field be filled out by the user, you can select Yes for "Require that this column contains information", or your can leave it defaulted to No. Click OK. Now you can create more columns for each type of field you want in your form. You will most likely use the Single line of text, Multiple lines of text (we suggest selecting the "Plain text" option), Choice, Number, and Date and Time column types. After your list is complete, go to the Web Part Instructions for a step-by-step guide to adding the SmartForms Standard Web Part to the page where your form will be surfaced. If you need to edit the list in the future, go to the page where your form lives and view the List via Site Actions > View All Site Content, and select the List. Then, in the ribbon under List Tools, click on the List tab and then click List Settings (to the right, the icon is yellow with a gray gear symbol). Then you can click on the columns you made and edit them. Form submissions will go directly into the List in the All Items view. They will appear in the order in which they are submitted, which means that the newest submissions will be at the bottom of the List View by default. To change this so that the newest submissions appear at the top of the All Items List View, you can set the List to sort by Created and display in descending order. 0. Go to your form page and go to Site Actions > View All Site Content, and select the name of your list. Then, in the ribbon under List Tools, click on the List tab and then click List Settings (to the right, the icon is yellow with a gray gear symbol). 0. At the bottom of the page, under all of your columns is the Views section. Click on All Items. 0. In the Columns area, you'll see all your columns to the right that are automatically selected. Under your selected columns, there's an unselected one called Created. Check the box next to Created to select it. This will add a timestamp column to your All Items list view that will let you see the date and time that the submission was created by the user. 0. Under Sort, click the dropdown for First sort by the Column: and select Created. Then choose Show items in descending order. 0. All the way at the bottom or top, click OK to save. Now your newest submissions will appear at the top of your list view. If you haven't added the SmartForm web part to the page yet, go to the Web Part Instructions for the next steps. Let's create the column "Email" with DePaul email address verification through a formula. 0. Create a new field by clicking Create Column. 0. Type the word "Email" in the column name and set the type to "Single line of text." 0. Select Yes under "Require that this column contains information."

Miranda Kassin exploded on to the paulistana night scene with her show I Love Amy, a tribute to Amy Winehouse. As she gathered more fans of her interpretation of the diva, Miranda added other great artists to her repertoire. The impersonator performs with a band appropriately called the No No No's and, while still being a far cry from Amy's unique vocals, she always captivates the crowd.

Between winning the Silver Bear for Best Director for Isle of Dogs and working on The French Dispatch, director Wes Anderson ('00) continues to make a name for himself as one of Hollywood's most creative, visually distinct filmmakers. For members of the SJS community, the past week also brought an opportunity to celebrate one of Anderson's older films: Rushmore. Members of the Advancement Team worked with the fine arts department to host the Rushmore 00th Anniversary Viewing at the VST on March 00. Students, parents, alumni and faculty attended this event to reunite with former classmates and enjoy Anderson's 0000 classic, parts of which were filmed on campus. Parts of the movie were filmed on campus, such as the Quad. Joshua Pesikoff ('00), who was close with Anderson throughout high school, introduced the film. Pesikoff provided background information about Anderson and the filming of Rushmore, which partially took place in Pesikoff's childhood home. He then presented behind-the-scenes photographs and a recorded message from Anderson and stars Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray. Joshua Pesikoff ('00) introduced the film to parents, students, alumni and faculty who attended. According to Crater, Rushmore brings back many fond memories for members of the SJS community. For Tracy Carlson ('00), it was exciting just to see her friends make background appearances in the film. Senior Mariela Arreola, who says Rushmore is her favorite film, appreciates how rewatching the film helped her appreciate the SJS parallels and view the movie from a new perspective. Pesikoff believes Rushmore holds up well and remains as clever and funny as it was when he first watched the film back in the 00s. He attributes the film's timelessness to Anderson's subtle humor and creativity. In his speech, Pesikoff mentioned that he was proud of the School for recognizing Anderson's accomplishments, and that Rushmore has helped him connect more with his former classmates years after graduation.

The Roomorama Relax Lounge was a great place to unwind during the day with morning yoga by Your Yoga, mini massages by Essential Therapy and makeup touch-ups by Borghese. I stopped by the evening of February 00th and enjoyed cocktails and treats including salad, fruit, cupcakes and amazing cookies by cookie coma (cardamom, cayenne, chocolate and c salt). Roomorama was like relaxing at a friend's apt - there were no party crashers or crowds of people around. I was in awe over the Villa Di Borghese bedding (manufactured by United Feather & Down), in 000-thread-count Italian Tile Dobby Cotton with a natural aloe vera treatment. The bedding line includes a down comforter, bed pillow, spa pillow, booties and a spa body wrap.

A catenary curve (left) and a catenary arch, also a catenary curve (right). One points up, and one points down, but the curves are the same. A catenary arch is a type of architectural pointed arch that follows an inverted catenary curve. It is common in cathedrals and in Gothic arches used in Gothic architecture. It is not a parabolic arch. A note written by Thomas Jefferson in 0000 reads, "I have lately received from Italy a treatise on the equilibrium of arches, by the Abbé Mascheroni. It appears to be a very scientifical work. I have not yet had time to engage in it; but I find that the conclusions of his demonstrations are, that every part of the catenary is in perfect equilibrium". What makes the catenary arch important is its ability to withstand weight. For an arch of uniform density and thickness, supporting only its own weight, the catenary is the ideal curve. This is done by a catenary curve: Catenary arches are strong, as they redirect the vertical force of gravity into compression forces pressing along the arch's curve. In a uniformly loaded catenary arch, the line of thrust runs through its center. Rainbow Natural Bridge in the U.S. state of Utah has a natural catenary shape, possibly produced by weathering in high-stress areas. Kolob Arch and Landscape Arch, also in Utah, have a catenary shape as well. The Gateway Arch in the American city of St. Louis (Missouri) is an inverted catenary arch. Due to aspect ratio, the top being thinner than the bottom, its actual shape is technically a "weighted catenary". Marquette Plaza in Minneapolis used catenary arches. Kilns are often designed with catenary arch cross-section. Igloos are designed with a catenary arch cross-section. This shape offers an optimal balance between height and diameter, avoiding the risk of collapsing under the weight of compacted snow. The unfinished Saqqara ostracon has a catenary shape. The inside of Budapest's Keleti Railway Station forms a catenary arch. The Nubian ton is a burial vault, of Nubia, For greatest stability, the structure's cross-section follows a catenary arch. The beehive homes (clocháns) of Ireland's Skellig Michael have a cross-section that follows the style of a catenary arch. The Rice House has catenary arches. The Icehotel in Sweden employs catenary arches. A catenary bridge has the form of a catenary arch. One famous example is the An-Lan Bridge, in China. In Iraq, the Taq Kasra has the shape of a catenary arch. The roof of Washington Dulles International Airport is a suspended catenary curve. A catenary steel cable system supports the roof of Denver International Airport. New York City's Pennsylvania Station has a roof in the form of a catenary arch. On the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, the building has been remodeled, but still visible is the catenary arch suspending the original building. Cameroon's musgum mud huts have a catenary cross-section. ^ Handy, Richard L. (May 0000). "Letter to the Editors: The Perfect Dome". American Scientist. ^ "The enigma of Robert Hooke".

You've probably heard that it's important to exfoliate. Why? Because the skin is constantly generating new cells at the lower dermis level to replace dead skin cells on the upper layer, the epidermis. As we get older, our cell turnover process slows down and cells gather unevenly on the skin's surface. That leads to both dull dry patches and a lackluster appearance. When you exfoliate, you help remove dead skin cells, revealing the fresher, younger cells below. Many people who know this tend to over-exfoliate in pursuit of a healthier glow. That's because they are using harsh scrubs meant for weekly or semi-weekly use. Powder exfoliants are a gentler way to work exfoliating into your daily routine so you get those fresher, glowing benefits without overstimulating your skin. This Charcoal-based powder exfoliant helps remove air pollution particles that can enter pores and accelerate skin aging. It also helps detoxify pores for firmer, healthier-looking skin. This Rice-based powder exfoliant helps you kiss dullness and uneven skin tone goodbye. It micro-exfoliates dead cells and balances pigmentation, leaving skin smoother and brighter. Take our quiz to be certain which product is right for you! When are you most devoted to skin care?

Labor crowdsourcing is the system by which large crowds or workers contribute to a project allowing for complex and tedious tasks to be rapidly and efficiently completed. The largest labor crowdsourcing platform in the world, Amazon Mechancial TURK (Mturk) is estimate to have revenue in the order of 00 and 000 million dollars annually. Despite this, there is no built in system by which workers can identify which employers (requesters) are cheaters and which are legitimate. And in a system powered by anonymity and numerous micro transactions, the inability to provide feedback to warn other workers of requester quality, is a big deal! Social activists and artists, Six Silberman and Lilly Irani at UCSD have designed a solution to help mitigate this problem. Turkopticon provides a mechanism by which workers can rate their experience of working with requesters. Turkopticon reviews can be read on the UCSD host website and average ratings can be quickly accessed by workers when searching for requesters through the browser extension and pops up next to request information upon mouse over. Figure 0: An example MTurk HIT listing with Turkopticon review information provided. Established in May of 0000, Turkopticon with over 000 thousand reviews written by more than 00 thousand reviewers has been an unmitigated success at creating a tool by which the community of Mturk workers share information about their experience with requesters. Figure 0: Activity on Turkopticon measured in terms of number of reviews written daily and the unique number of reviewers. From Figure 0 we can see that both the number of reviews and the number of daily participating reviewers increased dramatically from 0000 until mid-0000 at which time both the number of participating reviewers and the number of published reviews have been in decline. This might not actually be a problem for the Mturk system. Perhaps as information is shared about a particular requester, workers find that their individualized experiences are sufficiently summarized by the quantity of information already available. Figure 0: Mean and median number of reviews for individual requesters at each date. Figure 0 seems to support the idea that as time has gone on some requesters have accumulated a large collection of reviews. This is not particularly surprising as one would expect that the longer requesters use Mturk the more reviews they accumulate except in the case when requesters prefer not to maintain their reviews (if for instance they are cheaters). Requesters have the power at any time to start a new Amazon requester account. Reviews do not transfer between accounts. This might be what is driving the median number of reviews to be so low (around 00 at this time). In order to get a better perspective on what is happening we might want to ask the question, how long are requesters generally active? We cannot observe how long requesters are active directly as we do not have the Mturk activity data, but we can look at when reviews are posted assuming that requesters must have been active at least for each day for which as review was written. Figure 0: Mean and median of the number of days requester accounts have been active calculated as Current Date of a Review less the First Date of a Review. From Figure 0 we can see that on average requesters have been active for nearly two years though the median activity level is much lower than this value at less than a year. These numbers are likely inflated as requesters that get reviewed early then drop out of Mturk for a period of time before using their accounts once again are considered equally active as requesters who have been active continuously over the same period. One way of avoiding this would be only to count days which were active by requesters as demonstrated by being reviewed those days. However, this figure ends up being almost identical to Figure 0, so I have omitted it. Seeing all of these reviews we might ask ourselves how many reviews are being contributed by an elite group of very active reviewers and how much by a wider group? Figure 0: The numbers of reviews by reviewers at the time of writing a review. From Figure 0 we can see that the median number of reviews written on any given date is around 000. This implies large scale community involvement with many reviewers contributing a significant number of reviews. We can also see that the mean is significantly higher than the median and grows more so recently, implying that the distribution is skewed with a few reviewers contributing a significant portion of reviews written. From the available evidence we can therefore confidently claim that Turkopticon has been successful at fulfilling its mission of providing a mechanism for workers to exchange information with regard requester quality. This however is not the only objective of Turkopticon and the workers who contribute to its database. One of the major objectives of Turkopticon, at least as many workers see it, is to provide a platform by which workers can exchange information about requesters and thus use that information to gain leverage over requesters. Ideally driving the pay rate upwards. Workers seem to be targeting an ideal pay rate in the range of $00-$00 per hour though in practice the effective pay rate seems to be much less than this. Turkopticon reviewers would also like to see the general quality of their working environment improve as well. In practice they would like their work to be reviewed quick and rarely rejected. And when a problem arises for requesters to communicate effectively and respectfully with them. From our data we cannot directly observe pay rate. However, what we can observe is the four rating categories defined by Turkopticon: Pay, Fast (rapidity of accepting or rejected submitted HITs), Fairness, Communication. These categories allow for ratings between 0 and 0. From the trends in these rating systems we can ideally infer how the Mturk workplace has changed for workers over time. Figure 0: Mean reviews over time. From Figure 0 we can see that mean reviews have changed significantly over time. In particular the ratings for Fast and Fair have improved generally while the ratings for Pay and Communication, except for a brief bump for pay in 0000 have fallen ominously. So what is driving these trends and does Turkopticon have anything to do with it? There was a time when Mturk placed heavy restrictions on non-US workers, I suspect as a result of attempting to comply with federal taxation laws. This I suspect significantly restricted the supply of workers causing a short term rise in the system wage. From our previous analysis we can see that Turkopticon is widely and actively used by many Mturk workers. Thus we consider how Turkopticon might be driving the trends that we are seeing. My personal experience with interacting with workers through Turkopticon was quiet unpleasant. I don't know if this is typical of other requesters using Turkopticon but talking with other academics who have used Turkopticon I suspect it is not unusual. If this is the case, then Turkopticon provides an easy explanation for the falling wage. That is, requesters dropping out of the system after being targeted by a disgruntled, organized, and anonymous workforce. Simultaneously, many workers have claimed that the only reason they have continued to be active on Mturk is because of Turkopticon. Thus Turkopticon might be suppressing the going wage by driving requesters away, while simultaneously retaining workers. Increased attention by requesters to scales like Fairness and Fastness is also predictable as requesters grow more attentive to the non-monetary concerns of the workforce. Likewise, due to the growing boldness and hostility of workers organized through the Turkopticon platform, it should come as no surprise to anybody that requesters have opted out of investing in direct communication with workers. I personally found the experience painful in the extreme as literally everything I said was turned against me in a kind of sadistic group think in which anonymous workers would take turns at antagonizing, humiliating, and threatening me. My personal experience aside, I do not know what is driving the apparent fall in Mturk pay. One might argue that pay and other factors have not meaningfully changed only that instead as reviewers have gained more experience they have had more experience to base their reviews. This might be particularly true for the scale "Pay" with some outspoken workers asserting that a pay rating 0 is only warranted when the effective hourly wage is over $00 per hour. This is a plausible explanation as workers seems to learn from the input of other workers about their rating scales. Figure 0: Completion rates of scales and bomb rates. An incomplete scale submission is a rating in which a reviewer does not provide a rating for a requester on that scale. In Figure 0 in we can see that 0-bombs and 0-bombs (all 0s or all 0s) have peaked in previous years and dropped off over time. This indicates that perhaps reviewers are learning the expectations of the system and conforming their reviews to match these standards. This supports the changing expectations for pay hypothesis. Overall, we conclude that Turkopticon is an amazing success. It has brought workers together to exchange information about employees on an immense scale. The end results however of collective worker actions have not been as hoped for though predictable with wages decreasing as requesters drop out of the system in response to collective antagonism organized through Turkopticon. Who are Turkopticon's Top Contributors? Interesting thoughts! Sorry that you had a bad experience with workers. We aren't ALL like that I promise! As a worker, I've found that Turkopticon provides useful information. I also agree wholeheartedly with your point that the interactions tend to be pretty hostile or snarky, and also tend to be from the same closed circle. It sets up an outsider/insider situation, where writing reading or writing comments, whether as worker or requester, is not always very pleasant. It does give the impression that the Turkopticon world has some with special status who run the place, down to enforcing their opinions as law. Well when one works diligently on a task for 00 minutes and gets a completion code with "Thank You" and deadbeat requesters like "LSU Manship PCRG" reject your work just so that they don't have to pay you, one tends to get a little snarky and hostile. Not only have they stolen your labor but they also have damaged your approval percentage which ends up costing you money in the long run from lost potential work. Not to mention pride in one's work and reputation.

MOSCOW - There is no reason not to fulfill the contract for the supply of S-000 anti-aircraft missile defense systems to Iran, the Russian Security Council said. "There is the signed contract that we must fulfill, but supplies have not started yet. This deal is not restricted by any international sanctions, because these are merely defensive weapons," Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary Vladimir Nazarov told Interfax. "Any our actions must facilitate global and regional stability, respect for international law and international commitments, including under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and that is another matter," Nazarov said. Russia repeatedly stated that S-000 systems are purely defensive. Israel and the United States repeatedly asked Russia to refrain from supplying S-000 systems to Iran. "Russia received and continues to receive many requests and even demands to supply or not to supply weapons. Those countries that are addressing such calls to us should better look at their own deals with Georgia," Nazarov said. Prior to Georgia's invasion of South Ossetia in August 0000 Russia was trying to convince Western partners not to providing military aid to Tbilisi, he said. "Our calls were ignored. It should be recalled that the Georgian aggression resulted in the deaths among Russian servicemen and Russian civilians," Nazarov said. Full interview with V. Nazarov will be posted on the www.interfax.ru website and published in the Kommersant daily on February 00.

Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella confirmed today that their upcoming title Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, will not contain any microtransactions or multiplayer components. Ahead of the game's official reveal tomorrow, Zampella confirmed those details during the Day 0 live stream of this year's Star Wars Celebration, currently taking place in Chicago. The live stream, which featured one-on-one interviews with cast members of Star Wars Episode IX: Rise of Skywalker, has been posted online for all to see. The video below has been timestamped to Zampella's section. Very few details, save for a bit of art and some confirmed information by the dev team, have been revealed for Jedi Fallen Order. What is known for sure is that the game is being developed on the Unreal Engine over the Frostbite Engine and that the game's story will take place during the "Dark Times" in the Star Wars timeline - essentially after the execution of Order 00 by Emperor Palpatine from Episode III. Lastly, it is also known that the game will have six narrative designers, including the likes of Aaron Contreras (Mafia 0) and Chris Avellone (Fallout: New Vegas). Respawn is planning to a full-scale reveal tomorrow at the Star Wars Celebration, around 0:00 PM CT (0:00 EST). The game's first trailer is expected, along with further details on the games overall narrative and features, and a possible release date. Honestly, this should not be big news but is because the game is being done by EA, who has famously noted that they are not interested in primarily single-player games in favor of multiplayer or service-style games. It is curious that Respawn is able to make the game as is without Frostbite and without the typical EA restrictions thrust upon them. Even companies like BioWare have been more or less forced down that route at this point. My guess is because the game is part of their deal with Disney, that it became a mandate by Disney to make it single player only (perhaps following the Star Wars Battlefront 0 issues). Of course, that is just super speculation on my part. We ultimately have no idea what or why, though I'd honestly argue it shouldn't matter much as the quality of the game is independent of its ultimate function. We shall see if Respawn can deliver something good with Jedi Fallen Order.

We hear about stories in the news such as the hero dog from Afghanistan who foiled a suicide bomber's attempts to blow up an American barracks, and was later adopted by an Army medic who had witnessed the dog's bravery. The dog, whose name was Target, was flown to the U.S. to live with his new family in Arizona. The happy ending was short-lived, however. Target escaped from their yard, was captured by the dog catcher, and euthanized by mistake before the family could reclaim him. Target had captured the hearts of millions, and all around the world, people who'd never met Target the dog cried for him. For every dog story that makes front page news, there are dog stories which live only in the hearts and minds of those directly involved. One such story broke my heart. The only reason I know of this story is because I personally know the dog owners and have been following their heartwrenching tale on Facebook. It is the story of a fireman, his beloved wife and children, and their three dogs: Charlie, Maggie Bean and Doolie. I have never before witnessed such love in a family as this family shares. When you read their conversations on Facebook you can feel the love that fills their home and you cannot help but smile. Theirs is a family full of love, light, and heroism. The fireman has saved the lives of countless people in his career. He has saved homes from burning to the ground. He saved a stranded woman from drowning during the floods of 0000. He is a quiet hero, known only to his friends and family, but not the world at large. Their story began on a happy note as many stories do. The fireman and his wife had gone to the beach for a few days of vacation, with hearts of love floating all around them. They were celebrating their wedding anniversary. The horror began when they came home. All three of their dogs had gotten loose while they were on vacation. Someone had been watching the dogs, and the dogs ran out the door while under the care of the dog sitter. It's hard enough to go away and leave your dogs behind, especially for the fear of something like this happening. No matter how hard we try to keep our dogs in, sometimes they get out. There are so many ways that a dog can get out despite our best efforts to prevent it. Many moons ago before my husband and I got married, I had taken my dog Gypsy Rose to spend a weekend with my not-yet husband. I didn't know it when I let Gypsy Rose out into the fenced yard, but the gate was open. I let my dog out, she found the open gate and off she went to explore. A half hour later when I went to let her back in, my dog was long gone. I went all up and down the street looking for her, to no avail. I called and called but there was no sign of her. I went to the next street over, walking down the street and calling out to her. Nothing. Not a sign. Being close to a major road I was beginning to panic. There were so many directions she could have gone in, and so many cars barreling down that big road that could hit her. I didn't know which direction to look, and I felt like I was searching for a needle in a haystack. Being on foot, my progress was painfully slow and I wasn't making any headway. As I walked back up the street, a pickup truck pulled up next to me and asked if I was looking for a dog. I said yes, and described Gypsy Rose. They had found her wandering around and put her in their fenced backyard. I had walked right past their house never knowing that my dog was in their backyard. She was a quiet dog and hadn't made a peep. They gave me and Gypsy Rose a ride back to the house, and Gypsy Rose went on to live with me until she passed away at fifteen years old. Thankfully our story had a happy ending. It could so easily have been otherwise. I never let her run loose intentionally, and yet she got out. It happens. And so it happened to the fireman and his family. All three of their dogs got out together. Like me, they went searching for their dogs and at first, they reported their dogs as being lost. They kept searching and they finally found all three dogs, but their dogs did not have the happy ending that Gypsy Rose did. Their dog Maggie Bean had been hit by a car and left by the road to die. By the time the fireman found her, their beloved Maggie Bean was dead. Maggie Bean had been a gift for their first wedding anniversary and thus, she held a very special place in their hearts. The second dog, Doolie, was fine. Doolie's feathers were a bit ruffled but otherwise fine. Doolie had escaped the wheels of oncoming traffic. The third dog, Charlie, had also been hit by a car and left to die, presumably the same car that killed Maggie Bean. Or perhaps Charlie had stayed close to the dying Maggie Bean to protect her, and was hit by a different car. We will never know exactly what happened to the fireman's dogs on that fateful night. The fireman found Charlie severely injured and immediately took him to the vet. They've been trying to save his life ever since. All through the Thanksgiving holiday they battled for Charlie's life, and it looks like their Christmas will be filled with the fear of losing Charlie as well. It's been touch and go for their dog Charlie who is struggling with his many injuries. His face and eyesocket were injured. His legs and hip were injured. This fireman and his family lost one dog, and are now facing the holidays with the battle to save the life of their other dog. It is heartbreaking to read their tale of loss, and their battle to bring Charlie back to health. Charlie has good days and bad days and he'll make progress forward, only to lose ground and fall backward again. It broke my heart to hear her anguish. Her friends all rallied around her with attempts at comforting words, but truly there is no comfort when you are battling to save a life. The vet said that Charlie was full of infection and put him on more antibiotics. They've been struggling for words to answer the questions of their children. With one dog gone, the kids have been asking about Charlie, and their fireman father has no answer. A home that had been so full of love and light and laughter was now full of sadness and death. This family had lost one dog and was battling valiantly not to lose another, and Charlie began his fight for life traveling back and forth from his home to the vet. I looked through the photos they'd posted of their three dogs. It showed a life of love, with the dogs in the center of it right up there next to the kids. I saw a dog lying on the couch next to his daddy, dogs swimming in the lake, dogs playing fetch with sticks, and even a dog in the bathtub for a bath. These were not backyard dogs ignored by their owners or left to roam loose. These dogs were beloved family members who lived indoors with their family. The bottomless pit of grief worsened for this valiant family when the vet discovered a horrific deed while he was working to restore this beloved dog back to health. The vet found a BB lodged in the dog. No one knows when the horrible deed occurred, or who had done it. No one knows whether it was done as the dog laid dying in the road after being hit by a car, or whether it had been done an hour or week or months before. This family who was battling to save the life of their dog, had to live with the horrible knowledge that someone had shot the dog with a BB gun. What would go through your mind? Did the driver of the car who'd hit the dog attempt to finish the job with a BB gun? Did a later passerby attempt to euthanize the dog rather than calling a vet or animal control? Or had a neighbor shot the dog long before the accident that brought the dirty deed into the light? The question would always hang heavy on your mind. You'd never be able to look at any of your neighbors the same again. This couple whose home had always been full of love and laughter, would now look at their neighbors and wonder: Did one of them shoot the dog? I know I would. Here is a fireman, a hero who saves lives, protects property, and risks his life for others, having to live with the knowledge that someone shot his dog with a BB gun while he was out saving lives. He has to live with the knowledge that while he and his brethren risk their lives to pull people out of burning buildings, someone left his dogs to die by the side of the road. No one who loves their dogs as a family member deserves to live through the horror of losing a dog, and battling for the life of another. After a several week battle to save Charlie's life, they finally had to let go. Charlie was not able to recover from his injuries. They lost two of their three dogs while they were celebrating their wedding anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The next time you see an injured dog, or worse, hit a dog with your car even if accidentally, consider the family behind the dog before you drive away and leave the dog to die. Do not assume that the dog was just a stray wandering loose. Do not assume that the owner was lax in his ownership and allowed the dog to run loose. Stop and help the dog - give the dog a chance at life - his daddy may be the man who saves your life someday.

As an adult woman, do you often compare yourself to images you see on TV, the internet, or out in the world? Have you thought about what it's like to live as a teen girl in the current culture, hoping to fit into the ‘societal norm'? At some point in life, most females will battle with body image issues, eating struggles, and comparisons with other women whether they develop one of the many different types of eating disorders or not. In today's world, with the constant pressure of social media in front of us all the time, it's hard not to compare ourselves with others. In this video, I discuss the pressures that both young and older women face trying to fit in and struggling with body image issues. I also bring up an article and video that was all over the internet recently, with the singer Pink talking to her daughter in the audience at the VMA awards show. It was powerful to hear Pink's message to her daughter, who is close to my own daughter's age. If I were in her status and position, I would have given a similar speech. It was effective and got the message across to everyone listening, that you should embrace who you are and not change anything about your looks or body based on what others say or think of you. I also talk about my own individual struggle with anorexia when I was in college and out of college, and how this has affected my personal knowledge of different types of eating disorders. It is one of the reasons I love working with the eating disordered population, because I understand this issue on both a personal and professional level. I hope you find the video above to be inspiring, informational, and at the very least, that you take away that you are made by God to be exactly how you are. You are special, important, and beautiful on the inside and out, no matter what the world may tell you. It is so important to raise our little girls to be strong in their opinions of themselves, as well as confident in what they look like and what they stand for. I made this video inspired by Pink's video in hopes that one day my own daughter will watch it as well. My daughter is almost five years old, and Pink's daughter is six ... a very impressionable age for everything going on around them. Kids listen to and watch our every move, so being an example of a healthy, strong, beautiful Mama on the inside and out is so important! May you find peace within yourself, and if you need counseling, please contact me at my information below.

To improve water quality by requiring the use of water treatment systems. There are many types of contaminants that may compromise water quality, from pathogens and heavy metals to pesticide and herbicide residues. While routine testing helps to keep track of potential pollutants, sampling alone cannot guarantee the elimination of all risk. Disruptions to water supply, droughts, flooding and construction and infrastructure changes can temporarily affect water quality. Therefore, implementing and maintaining appropriate water treatment systems - including carbon filters, sediment filters and UV sanitization - is key in order to continuously deliver high quality water. Filter rated to remove suspended solids with pore size 0.0 µm or less. Filter rated by the NSF to remove or reduce microbial cysts. Record-keeping for a minimum of 0 years, including evidence that the filter and/or sanitizer has been properly maintained as per the manufacturer's recommendation. Formation of a team for Legionella management in the building. Water system inventory and production of process flow diagrams. Hazard analysis of water assets. Maintenance and control measures, monitoring, establishment of performance limits and corrective actions. Documentation, verification and validation procedures. ASHRAE's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan for preventing building associated legionellosis includes monitoring identified control points and establishing procedures for corrective measures. ASHRAE's Hazard Analysis ad Critical Control Point plan includes identifying critical control points. ASHRAE's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan for preventing building associated legionellosis includes conducting a hazard analysis. ASHRAE's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan for preventing building-associated legionellosis includes establishing documentation and verification procedures. ASHRAE's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Plan requires teams to develop at least two process flow diagrams mapping the receipt, processing and delivery of water to occupants. ASHRAE's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Plan requires the development of a team comprised of members who understand the building's water systems and the principles of the plan.

The Minnesota Department of Health notes that "A filter with granular activated carbon (GAC) is a proven option to remove certain chemicals, particularly organic chemicals, from water".

University of Alberta Press, Edmonton, 0000. 000 pp. There are several good reasons to head down to the library (or the bookstore) to pick up a copy of this book, especially if you are a former civil servant in Ottawa. Subtitled A Mennonite Family's Long Journey from Russia to Canada', at the most basic level it chronicles exactly that: the peaceful and relatively prosperous Southern Russian Mennonite colony into which Arthur Kroeger's father and mother were born towards the end of the 00th century, their courtship and the start of their family at the start of the 00th century, the upheavals occasioned by WWI, the Bolshevik Revolution and the Russian civil war, the flight of the Kroegers and thousands of other Mennonites to Canada as penniless refugees in the 0000s, their struggle to survive and adapt in as subsistence farmers in the dustbowl of Southern Alberta, and the success that eventually crowned their efforts as parents and children worked their way out of poverty into mainstream Canadian society. The book is much more than a Kroeger family biography, however. What little I knew of the Mennonites was that they were prosperous farmers in Western Canada and Southwestern Ontario who stuck together, had good food, and shared their bounty generously with developing countries through the work of the Mennonite Central Committee. Kroeger's description of the religious and historical movements that brought the followers of Menno Simon from the Low Countries in the 00th c. to Poland in the 00th c. to the lower reaches of the Dnieper River at the end of the 00th c., and of the communal and religious culture of this hard-working, devout and pacificist people was in itself worth the read. I knew from my own studies of the cataclysmic events that followed the start of the First World War, and the savagery of the roving armies of Reds, Whites and warlords during the civil war that followed the 0000 Revolution, but seeing how these were experienced by simple and helpless rural farm people -- as recorded in the journals of Heinrich Koeger and other Mennonites -- gives a new dimension to the horrors of that period. The second good reason for reading Hard Passage lies in its unsentimental account of the hardships that settler families endured in the first few decades of the last century, especially in land that was never suitable for farming, like the Palliser Triangle. The Mennonite refugees faced some obstacles that were particular to their situation, including the debt they had to repay for their passage from Russia, but the Kroeger family is shown as an exemplar of what thousands of other farmers across the West lived through in the drought of the Twenties and the Depression of the Thirties. For those of us who grew up in the post-WWII economic boom (let alone for our children who grew up in the affluence of post-00's consumer society), it is hard to imagine the world our parents and grandparents lived in before Old Age Security, Medicare, Employment Insurance, the Canada Pension Plan, public welfare and social housing, if they were not in the middle class and especially if they were not native-born Canadians. I would recommend to many of us that we sit down with our children or grandchildren some evening and read aloud to them chapters 0-00 of this book, with titles like Boiled Apple Peels' and Russian Thistle (tumbleweed, to the the non-Albertan) and Relief'. Thirdly, there are some parallels between the attitudes displayed towards immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe (let alone from China or India) from the 0000s through the 0000s by many officials and politicians and by a large segment of the British-stock Canadian public, and the attitudes one sometimes hears and reads about today concerning the influx of newcomers from the Middle East, the Caribbean, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa: "they don't share our culture, they don't speak our language, their religion is alien to our values, etc." or "immigrants, yes, but not too many and only the ones with the skills our economy needs". I was unaware that the Borden government had passed an Order-in-Council in 0000 barring the entry of Mennonites (repealed by MacKenzie King in 0000), and on the other hand, that it was Sir Edward Beatty and Colonel John Dennis of the Canadian Pacific Railway who went out on a long limb to bankroll the inflow of 00,000 Mennonites from Russia between 0000-00, swallowing much of what would amount to over $000 million in today's dollars. Kroeger's book reminds us that, within the short space of 00-00 years, immigrant children who went to school barefoot while their mothers washed floors in public buildings and cooked meager meals from welfare packages went on to become prominent businessmen, cabinet ministers and federal mandarins (Kroeger and his brothers fill out all three categories) and just good, hard-working tax-paying citizens. This is a book that should make Canadians feel good about what this country and its people have grown through, and feel confident about what the future holds for our children and those who continue to join the adventure that is Canada. The last chapter hurries through what has become of the Kroeger children since the family finally got its nose above water in the 0000s. This may just be modesty on the author's part, or perhaps he was feeling rushed to finish the book. Although the second half focuses on the Kroeger family and their life in Alberta, I think it would have benefitted if he had added a chapter outlining the other parts of the Mennonite experience in Canada: the movement of Swiss Mennonites into Ontario in the early 00th c., how the first Russian Mennonites came here in the 0000s, the development of the Mennonite coops in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and the different branches of Mennonitism. I never dealt with Arthur Kroeger during my years in the public service, but I was well aware of the reputation he enjoyed as one of the finest mandarins in Ottawa. Although he never intended it thus, this book is a tribute to the man and to the values his parents passed on to him -- no doubt someone else some day will write his biography. His story would certainly come as a surprise to those who think of public servants as colourless suits' pushing paper in drab offices.

Should Employers be Allowed to Review Credit Reports? The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows employers to review credit reports with written approval from the applicant. This has become a growing area of concern because of the economic conditions. Many have been unemployed for longer periods of time than in any time in history, which has impacted their ability to pay their debts. Seven states passed laws which prohibit employers from reviewing credit reports, except for certain types of positions based on responsibility. These states are California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon and Washington. Employers receive almost everything on the credit report such as personal information, credit inquiries, loan and credit card payment history, collections, public records such as bankruptcies and liens. They don't receive your date of birth, credit card account numbers or credit score. Twenty seven groups including consumer advocacy, civil rights, community groups and labor unions have signed a document referred to as "Statement Calling on TransUnion to Stop the Sale of Employment Credit Reports". According to these groups, TransUnion, one of the three major credit reporting agencies, was targeted because it is privately held and can adjust policies quicker than the other two companies - Equifax and Experian. In addition, TransUnion has led lobby efforts in some states on this issue. These groups want to stop credit reports being sold for employment purposes. They don't see the correlation between credit history and employment. They believe that credit doesn't determine what type of employee someone will make. 0, Credit checks in hiring create a fundamental "Catch-00" for job applicants. You can't pay your bills because you've lost your job or your hours were cut, and now you can't get a job because you can't pay your bills. 0. The use of credit in hiring has a discriminatory impact against African American and Latino job applicants. According to one study, the average credit score of African Americans and Latinos is roughly 0% to 00% lower than that of whites. 0. Credit history does not predict job performance. The study on this issue, presented to the American Psychological Association in 0000, concluded that credit history does not correlate with employee conduct. 0. Credit reports are inaccurate. A 0000 Zogby poll reported that 00% of people surveyed found an error on their credit report, and half of these respondents reported that they could not easily fix the mistakes. TransUnion is being singled out, but is just one of three credit reporting agencies that sell credit reports to employers. They are permitted to do so according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Seven states have placed limitations on employer access, will more follow? Should the Fair Credit Report Act be amended to limit employers who can review credit reports?

DURBAN - Global sensation Akon has announced that he will be launching his own cryptocurrency called Akoin. The rapper who made at the announcement at the Cannes Lion festival also announced his strategy to better the conditions in Africa. According to Akon, blockchain technology will help improve the conditions in Africa. He said that blockchain technology could be a saviour for Africa because it gives power back to the people and it brings back security into the currency system. He added that it allows people to use in a way that they can improve themselves and not allow the government to do things that are keeping them down. The rapper also plans on creating a 000% cryptocentric city called Akon Crypto City. Akon plans on using 0000 acres of land that will be supplied by the President of Senegal to build the city that aims to be like a real-life Wakanda. Wakanda is a fictional country from Marvel Comics comic book Black Panther. The city itself is rich in resources and technologically advanced. On the technical side of blockchain technology, Akon said that he comes with the concepts and lets the geeks sort out the rest. With the money that he makes from the Akoin, Akon plans using it to fund his Lighting Up Africa project. The project promotes the use of solar power. Akon was born in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States but he spent most of his childhood in Senegal which according to him is his hometown.

Here are two questions for you: Are you sharing your genius with the world? Or, is your Secret buried deep inside you holding you back? Only you can answer the first, but I KNOW the answer to the second. YES, not sharing your story is keeping you from sharing your gifts with humanity. We're here to help others through our natural passion, our talents, our gifts. If you are too shy, scared, angry, ashamed, or just plain afraid, you're limiting yourself and the world by not finding the gifts that make you who you are. Take me for example. It took me until I was 00 years old to recognize my real gifts, and share my story. Not doing so kept me from helping others, it limited my own capabilities, desires, dreams, and offerings. It wasn't until I took an introspective coaching session for me to unlock my true genius and begin to live the life that was intended for me. Now I share my story in nearly everything I do so that others like me can find their gifts because they know they are not alone. That's the way this thing works, this hidden gift inside you just waiting to get out. You have to share your story so that others can be inspired and grow. That's our responsibility to the Universe, God, or whatever you hold in your heart to be larger than yourself. We're cheating ourselves and everyone else by NOT sharing it to inspire, ignite, embolden, motivate those that are being held back by their secret. We all have one within us and getting it out and share is how we grow beyond our self-limiting beliefs. Deciding which details to include and how it should be framed can be difficult to fathom on our own, so I have included some tips that might help you unlock your genius being held captive inside you. These suggestions will help you resonate with your ideal audience like magic. Those that can relate to you will, and those that simply tune out are NOT yours to help. Don't concern yourself with them. They are seeking the messenger that they need to unlock their gifts. In time hopefully, they will be fortunate to resonate with the one they were meant to. Know up front that I know crafting the perfect message is not easy. I work on my messaging each and every day. It takes time, effort, and inspiration to unlock the perfect words to make your point profound and meaningful. However, it is important for you to create messaging that sets you up as the unique being you really are. Defining your gifts from within bits and pieces of your unique story can be shared for the benefit of others. We do this in two different steps. Before we begin, understand the correlation between what you have learned from your story and how your gift can help others, and deliver that story and message in such a way that it flows naturally from you when you speak, write, or are on camera. You won't need a script because it is you sharing what is in your heart. Your our unique message delivered properly will cause those meant to be with you to seek you out, stalk you (figuratively, that is) online, and gladly put money into your hands. It creates a situation where you get to decide with whom you will work, not having to chase the next client or patient any longer. It is my pleasure to share with you all that I have learned from my various coaches over the years that have created the success I enjoy today. I can say without question that the millions I have made over many years came and went each time I failed to live up to my potential, lost focus and simply got stupid by becoming self-centered. When preparing to present or share with others, consider weaving in parts of your personal story using examples so that your audience can picture you experiencing what you did. Tie it to your message in such a way that those that are receiving your message will actually be beside you in your narrative. Start with your story, at least one of the pertinent parts that speak to your audience. By doing so, your greatest gifts will unfold from it. Like I learned that I could be who I was meant to be by letting go of the anger and self-loathing I held on to because of my violent childhood. I transformed from a roller-coaster ride of emotions to that of a positive, caring individual that knows he can change the world by helping others overcome their own challenges, by never, ever giving up. Then I move on to the ups and downs of my life, always with the shadow of self-loathing and anger. Even my tremendous successes had their costs, which ultimately caused me to celebrate my 00th birthday living in my car in the winter in Detroit. By sharing my opening story in this way, people can visualize me standing in the living room or kitchen or bedroom in near tears trying to make a tough decision. Everyone was five years old once, and some did not have happy childhoods, so they will naturally resonate with the opening of my story. Then I move on and share the ups and downs of my life, and what transformed me from who I was to who I am today, and what gifts I have to share. In every one of my books, I speak about my grandparents and how they saved me from a very turbulent childhood. Their love and respect shaped me in ways I am still learning. The more I age the more I am amazed how much of an impact for good in my life. Work on your story often, make it as personal as possible. Believe me, others will resonate. Those that do not take your message to heart are really seeking the messenger they need most. Don't worry, everyone has gifts and they must learn how to share them in their own way. Just know that you are blessed by learning these secrets. As you reflect on your journey toward transformation, think about how each step relates to the gifts you have to share. How can they help others as they do you? There are lots of ways to tell the story of your triumphs and travails, your ups and downs and what led you to become the person you are before us today. The more you dive deep into your journey the more you will come closer to your amazing truth. Doing so will make your personal story more relevant, motivating and engaging. Because no one is exactly like you, your message is unique and original. Sharing your personal experiences draws upon others thoughts of how they are or were experiencing what you have, and are seeking to learn more. Let them resonate with you. They are your true audience. When your message touches someone's heart you are making a "Know, Like, Trust, and Respect" connection with them, and they will seek you out. Showing your vulnerability and sharing with your audiences how you overcame whatever brings you the most pain, shame, anger, distrust, loss, or embarrassment in your life. Doing that and sharing your unique solution with the world will bring about a catharsis in those receiving your message. Those who relate to your message of contemptuousness and disdain and how you were able to transform yourself into your greater self will become inspired to wish to begin to do the same. You aren't sharing your message, you are offering encouragement through your messaging. Through the effective use of vulnerability, your story will resonate because of the raw emotions held within it. Your true audience will be inspired and they will be drawn to you like steel to a magnet. As you grow in your business, your story evolves too. Don't allow it to become stale and static. Your personal transformation continues day after day, month and year after year. Your story and your messaging should as well. You'll reach new levels of success, so your story must be relevant to your growing and maturing audience as well. As your message grows and changes, different types of audiences will resonate with you, and that's a good thing. With a message that is dynamic and relevant, your transformations will automatically generate more power and dynamism. Do not think for a moment that becoming emotional while sharing your story and message is a bad thing. It's part of who you are, and that you are human. Those who keep their emotions bottled up are only hurting themselves. Cry if you need to, laugh and become angry if it helps you get your message out in a compelling way. I happen to have a full spectrum of emotions. Believe it or not, I tear up every time I hear the National Anthem, become irate at those that are intentionally inconsiderate, and can laugh at some of the dumbest jokes. I consider it a blessing to be able to express how I feel. I love people and try to let them know I am thinking of them, love them and wish them happiness. Probably not enough but I'm working on it. Expressing your emotions as you reveal your travails and disappointments, failures and successes are so powerful others can feel it as if it were their own feelings on display. It's humbling and good for the soul. Crafting your messaging that draws upon your personal experiences will only help your audience connect with you and what they have experienced that resonates. Don't shy away from the negatives in your life. Share how you overcame these obstacles and challenges. Your audience members will become inspired and want to learn more about how they can experience their own transformations. You'll be doing them a great service, even if they are reluctant to reach out. Some people are just not ready for a transformation. You are fully capable of digging your story from the recesses of your mind. Take the time and use your mind to uncover what has been locked away. Identify what you have learned from the good and not so good things that have happened to you and you'll uncover your gifts, your genius, your truth. That way, you can share it with the world for all to benefit, especially you.

I am very excited about this cheese cake, the only conventional sugar it has is that of the 0 ounces of white chocolate. The base is healthy and the rest of the cheese cake too. But you really can't tell, it is super smooth and silky. And no baking! My mother drove me made for years and years about cheese cake, before I had gone to live in the states. In the Netherlands Cheese cake wasn't very well known but since my mother was a stewardess back in the seventies, she had discovered cheese cake before I was even born. After years of hearing about it, I was finally going to the states myself. Once I got to New York my mission was to get cheese cake asap, obviously. I had informed about where to get the best in town and set off to discover what she had been raving about. Well, and rightfully so. I finally tasted the classic New York Cheese cake and nearly wept. I had to call my mother and tell her that from now on I would be just excited about it as she had always been. Once I had tasted about every flavour and variety of cheese cakes available in New York, I promised myself I was going to conquer the technique and make the perfect cheese cake. Easier said than done. It actually took me years to get it right. Now I can confidently say, I know what I am doing and I make my own variations. Like this one. It has the flavour, the texture, but much fewer calories and less fat. The less fat is more a necessity than a need, since I find them too heavy sometimes. You do have to leave the cheese cake to set in the fridge over night. Start by making the bottom. In a food processor blend together the oats, medjool dates and nuts. Add the agave syrup and coconut oil until crumbly consistency. Line an 0″/ 00cm. spring form with baking paper. You need to line the sides of the ring too. Cut a long strip of baking paper. Oil spray the ring of your tin so the paper will stick easier. Place the crumbly bottom mix in the bottom of your tin. Press firmly to cover the entire bottom. Place in the freezer. Meanwhile put one ounce of white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and melt at 00 second intervals. White chocolate burns easily so be careful. Remove the spring form from the freezer and spread with a thin layer of chocolate, this will act as a protection film to ensure that the crust does not get soggy. Place in the refrigerator. Soak one gelatin leaf in cold water for five minutes. In a saucepan over medium heat, place the raspberries, the xylitol or sugar of choice and the tablespoon of water. Bring to a slow simmer and cook for about 0 to 0 minutes. Squeeze out the gelatin and add it to the raspberries. Mix it through and let it cool slightly before pureeing it in a blender. Set aside. Soak 0 leafs of gelatine in a bowl of cold water for 0 minutes. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave at 00 second intervals stirring each time. Squeeze out the gelatine leafs and place them in a sauce pan over low heat with one or two tablespoons of water. Melt the gelatine. In a bowl mix the cream cheese until smooth, add the yogurt a bit at a time. Mix well while adding the xylitol or sugar of choice. Add the gelatin, pouring it into the filling mix, stirring at the same time. Mix the cheese cake filling into the melted white chocolate , one teaspoon at a time . This is a bit tricky so you have to mix fast and keep adding to form a smooth filling. Once you have about half a cup, add the rest of the cheese cake mix. Combine thoroughly. Pour the half the cheese cake mix in the spring form on top of the crust. Pour half the raspberry sauce over the yogurt. Make swirls with a knife. Repeat with remaining filling and sauce. Set in the refrigerator over night. Oh Myra, this is unbelievably lovely! It should be scrumptious too, but first, it's gorgeous photography! Thank you Dolly. I really appreciate your comments. The cake looks quite delicious and your photos are just too gorgeous! Myra, you never cease to amaze me! I seriously aspire to be a baker like you, you are incredibly talented. This just looks toooooo good to be true. I am drooling over here!!!! Oh my goodness Mack, that is so nice of you to say, thank you so much for your support and kind words. That is art. What a beautiful, beautiful cake. Thank you very much Conor. This cheesecake is a treat for all the senses! Wow! Spectacularly droolicious!

On 00 June 0000, Ms C was injured in a car accident. A claim was lodged against the CTP Insurer. Liability was admitted by the CTP Insurer. Ms C instructed the offices of Gerard Malouf & Partners Compensation Lawyers to act on her behalf. Appointments were arranged for Ms C to attend various doctors to assess her injuries and ultimately the matter was referred to a CARS Assessor as the insurance company was not offering enough money. The CARS Assessor issued a Certificate assessing Ms C's damages at over $000,000.00 the amount included $00,000.00 for past economic loss and $000,000.00 for future economic loss. The Award for future economic loss was made on the basis of a buffer or a cushion. Ms C was thrilled with the result as she has only taken minimal time off work. The Assessor found that even though she had taken very little time off work that because she was in the category of high income earners that her loses in the future were likely to be much greater than those of an average earning Australian. For that reason, he Awarded Mrs C a very large cushion to cover her into the future. Mrs C was extremely satisfied with the result. If you are a high income earner and you have been involved in a car accident then contact our offices for a free no obligation quote on 0000 000 000 and arrangements will be made to see you in conference to discuss your rights and options.

If you updated to 00.00 from a 00.00 version, you will need to uninstall and re-install WinFax. Do not update a 00.00 version with 00.00 as it will corrupt your WinFax installation. I'm not sure why would would get the exceptions error, if you're adding the Controller you need to ensure that Controller isn't already in the list of programs. Instead, search the list of programs in the exception list for Controller, select it, and then click Edit. You can then change the scope.

N Reg; A Flag of Convenience? I have started this new thread to pick up where the recent Alderney accident left off. In my opinion there are many ‘grey charter' and other ad hoc operators who must be looking at their methods of operations following the Sala accident. It was unusual to see a UK owner flying a US registered aircraft when I started flying in 0000. Over the intervening years N reg aircraft have popped up everywhere in Europe and it now appears to be a semi global flag of convenience. This is a term from shipping companies who chose nations such as Liberia and Monrovia to register their fleet to avoid regulators. The owners of these aircraft are hidden behind trusts such as Southern Air Consultancy at Bungay in East Anglia which is little more than a brass plate office. By chance they operated out of a house just a few miles from my UK home until a couple of years ago. It now appears they have many N aircraft registered in the UK to this small Suffolk office. Here in Asia it is forbidden to base a non local registered aircraft in the various countries for longer than a few months. Recent events have focused on this use of N reg in Europe. The argument is that the US register is much easier to operate an aircraft than the more stringent European equivalent. Clearly the news in recent days suggests that maybe the operators of US registered aircraft need to address how they comply with the FAA regulations. Will we start to see the CAA prosecutors addressing this grey area that undermines genuine AOC operators? Last edited by Mike Flynn; 00th Mar 0000 at 00:00. The rules were made to make flying an elite activity. The US on the other hand hzve rules that open up flying to the masses - I sm one of them - bought a plane in the US and operste it on the US register as I do not want to go to the time and expense of putting it on the local register. Indeed the US reg makes it easy to operate. There are two locally registered airplanes down here which were being switched back to the US register when the A&P IA died in odd circumstances, they went out of local annual and have to be re regustered locally for the switch to occur. A very expensive proposition due to the hangar in which they are located "does not meet standards for work to be carried out to local standards" - so spend a quarter of a million dollars on the hangar (which is a true hangar unlike the one here!) and you can then put the airplanes back to local annual and then switch them to US. Not a realistic proposition for airplanes once on US and in annual have a value at the upper end of a total of $00,000. To this day over five years since they went out of local annual they sit in the hangar on a nearby island untouched. That would not be the case had they remained on the US register. Foying US registered airplanes makes flying accessible, it is not a washed up third world convenience to cut corners, as possibly implied by the tennor of the original post. The reason why some locations say based here must be registered here has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with the taxes, levies, duties and annual imposts which can be collected on locally registered airplanes once they have breached the bond status of the airport. You make some valid points Ebbie but of course you are very close to the US mainland. You also have the option of the Cayman Island register. Fine if you have a corporate jet moving across continents. Not so easy with a locally based 000 or Saratoga. The point I am making is that Europe is a long way from the USA in terms of regulation. We already have a lot of old former military helicopters and fixed wing ex Eastern European airframes exploiting the regulations. One of my planes is on the N register, mainly because it is more easily modified (changing windows, adding equipment etc.). Particularly the whole field approval procedure which has no easy equivalent in Europe. I also 'use' my FAA certificate (commercially) much more than my EASA CPL - thus having that aligned is simpler. I'm not sure that the FAA is less stringent on fundamental safety, if an owner wants to 'skip' bits of legislation he can do that under any registration. Are you sure that the camera ship operation is illegal? Don't forget that aerial photography has some exemptions from the full 'commercial' requirements. I don't know what they are though - not something we do. I object to being lumped in with the Sala crash - rather in the same way that the Airbnb murderer who has just been sentenced is always described as the 'Airbnb murderer'. Not sure Airbnb have done anything to deserve the link! There was nothing more stopping Mr.Ibbotson (UK PPL) doing exactly the same flight in a G reg Malibu...The relevance of the aircraft registration is...? I think the big difference is using an N reg for commercial use instead of private ops Sam. Clearly if someone owns and operates an aircraft on the US register for private use that is far removed from leasing it for commercial third party operations. I would suggest that aerial work and filming comes under the umbrella of commercial operation. We both know someone who used a US registered aircraft for sponsored and commercial air to air filming. Agreed but in the UK there are very few ramp checks by FAA inspectors. The CAA does not appear very proactive in checking what goes on in the field. Can I suggest that there are equally few G reg ramp checks in the UK by UK CAA inspectors? I cannot speak for the UK situation but my own administration have not shown a lot of activity either. And when they did, it was in ways little effective such as checking whether pilots carried the legally required set of spare spectacles/glasses. It seems much to ask these days for administrations - government or other - to work efficiently and effectively. The BBC Wales investigation makes interesting reading. It appears there are a lot of very charitable people flying their aircraft on a non commercial basis? Looking at Malibu N00EF and flown by Lord George Porchester ‘Oggers' posted this on the Sala thread. I can find nothing for this George Herbert (Lord Porchester fellow DOB 00 Oct 00) on the FAA database. It seems likely we have another illegal flight as he would require an FAA licence to fly his N reg outside the UK. There is a George E Herbert but wrong DOB. Lord Porchester stressed to the BBC he was just doing a favour to McKay. Last edited by Mike Flynn; 00nd Mar 0000 at 00:00. After the Malibu accident, it won't surprise me in the least if new restrictions are applied to 0rd country aircraft based in the UK. For example, a time limit before they have to be transferred to the UK register. Also, once the BASA is in place, converting FAA licences to EASA licences should become rather simpler. Any one who thinks the "N" plate is a flag of convenience is sadly mistaken, some parts of the American system are more flexible in terms of implementation but the emphasis is on those within the industry to comply rather than having the state regulator policing the rules closely ( and usualy inefficiently ). Get caught breaching the FAA regulations and the American leagal system will show no mercy for those who think that just because the regulator is on the other side of the Atlantic they don't care what you do . The owners of these aircraft are hidden behind trusts such as Southern Air Consultancy at Bungay in East Anglia which is little more than a brass plate office. Picking up on A and C,s point of the FAA's willingness to apply the heavy hand of the law for those that flout their rules, IIRC their was a recent case of several ex US servicemen who had seen combat and were now civilian PPL holders, on their Airmen's medical application they said they had no outstanding issues and at the same time ware applying for or receiving Federal benefits for claimed PTSD from the Veterans administration. They were indicted for BOTH making false benefit claims and also lying on their PPL medical application and are looking at serious jail time. The bottom line? the FAA have rules, flout then at your peril, they are no soft touch or laxed outfit regardless of where you are located. I am inclined to think the same BEagle. UK GA tends to be over regulated in some areas but under regulated elsewhere. We have this strange scenario where a foreign registered ex military aircraft or helicopter can be legally flown in the UK outside of CAA regulation. can you elaborate which ex military helicopters are you referring too ? Well I could start with this! Aerial work by N registered aircraft is allowed with permission from the CAA. Illegal flights are illegal flights, whatever the letters/numbers painted on the side and the Sala flight was a sad, preventable incident. More involvement by regulators, rather than pronouncements from on high, might help the community be safer all round. The confrontational stance does not help.

Hundreds of Airlines, millions of routes, combinations of hotel and airfare offerings in one place! Why are we better in flight tickets? We search and match routes to find the best way to fly between two places, and then we search for the best prices for those routes. We also find rental cars and hotel rooms, cheaper than most.

The news media is in a state of flux, analysis of the US market has shown. And, while traditional newspapers continue to see advertising revenue decline, old school media firms are struggling to carve an online niche for themselves and rely on third parties to fill their online pages with ads. According to a report by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, the financial performance of US news media improved in 0000, in comparison to a "dismal" 0000, but newspapers saw a continued in advertising revenue - down by 0.0 per cent. Online news surpassed print newspapers in ad revenue and audience for the first time in 0000, the State of the News Media report suggests, but news organisations are increasingly dependent on independent networks to sell their ads and on aggregators and social networks to cook up an audience. This suggests they'll have to adapt to survive - and quickly, too. "In a world where consumers decide what news they want and how they want to get it, the future belongs to those who understand the audience best, and who can leverage that knowledge with advertisers," said PEJ Director Tom Rosenstiel. "Increasingly that knowledge exists outside of news companies." Publishers are finding that, while they produce the content, it's the likes of Google that controls whether anyone will read it. And if no-one reads it, then there's no ad revenue to be had. Additionally, what ad revenue there is to be had is delivered by specialist third-party ad networks so they take their cut too. The biggest of these - again - is Google.

People are more likely to try out a new product or service if someone who has already tried the product or service has recommended it to them. It's time to discover how to encourage customers to refer! Who are people talking to? They're talking to their friends. It's easy to refer a friend to a restaurant, for example, if the service they experienced there was tremendous. It becomes more and more difficult to refer a friend to a restaurant as the level of service declines, even if it only slightly declines. No person wants to refer their friend if they have an inkling of a doubt that the service their friend will receive will not be superb. The quality of service, especially in competitive industries, will make or break a business. Better-than-average service can come with improved training for staff members, staff loyalty to the company, and high quality service as a forefront of business goals and policies. Even when the service a business provides is top-notch, there will always be customers who don't bother to take the time to make a referral. When the customer is completely satisfied and has received a stellar product or service experience, this is the best time to be straight forward and just ask for the referral: "It would be a pleasure working with you again, and in the future, if you can keep us in mind, we would be pleased to help the people you know with their car repair as well." A business card handout would be appropriate at this time. Another option is to offer a referral program for customers. Every time a customer makes a referral that turns into a sale, the customer is paid a small commission or given a store credit for their efforts. This is a great way to encourage customer referrals and recognizes customers for their hard work. Oftentimes, people think of their business as a one-sided deal. People refer the business and the business is happy to get the referral. The truth of the matter is that there are two levels of referrals. One is that people refer a business, and the other is that the business refers the other person's business as well. Business happens more organically when people understand this cyclical concept. Successful business is all about networking and helping each other out. A businessperson is more likely to make a sale if the person they are selling to trusts them. Trust is something that's built over time, and doesn't normally happen overnight. Relationship management is an important aspect of business building, and with stronger relationships come stronger customer loyalty. Why would a friend go anywhere else for shoes but to their best friend's shoe warehouse? Sometimes asking for the referral may seem like the best way to go about getting more business. While being upfront is sometimes appropriate, business building takes time and relationship strengthening will prove effective over a longer period. Take the time to become friends with customers and their connection will draw them back. Provide out-of-this-world service and products, and referrals will happen naturally.

Most people don't realize how much "stuff" we actually bring into our homes. I'm not just talking about pets or dry soil, either! Everything from dirt on our shoes to outside allergens and pollen, as well as germs and bacteria on our shoes! Studies have found that our shoes are a major carrier of all kinds of bacteria that lives longer on our shoes. If you have Oriental, Persian, or even Synthetic area rugs in your home, these rugs act as a filter for your home. Delicate area rug fibers catch and trap dirt and germs that we bring into our homes. Most of the stuff that we bring in from outside the home gets dropped off on our area rug's fibers. This is great for the rest of your home, but when was the last time you had your area rug professionally cleaned to remove all of the dry soil, germs, and bacteria that your rug has been collecting? Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care is located in Prescott AZ and we know how important rugs are to our homes. Rugs have both aesthetic benefits as well as help the overall health of your home! Your rug has been working hard over the years, holding on to the soil and germs (and maybe even pet urine deposits) that we have dropped off on it. Don't you think your area rug deserves a little love in return? We at Arizona Oriental provide a deep cleaning that includes a full dusting, full submersion cleaning, and fresh water rinsing. We recommend our clients have their area rugs cleaned every 0-0 years, depending on how active your home is. If you have an ill family member or pets, of course, you should have your area rug cleaned more frequently to help remove any problems.

Easter is a time of great joy, hope and celebration, so why does the Church emphasize our sinfulness and great need for mercy on the Second Sunday of Easter, "Divine Mercy Sunday"? The Gospel reading on that day and Jesus' words to St. Faustina Kowalska make it clear that the connection is quite fitting and always appropriate: Jesus suffered and died for our sins so that we might receive His mercy and the joy of eternal life. The destruction of life through abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia are among the gravest of sins. Yet Jesus says that even those who have committed great sins can not only be forgiven, but have priority. St. Faustina, a Polish nun canonized by St. John Paul II in 0000, recorded the words of Jesus in her journal: "Let the greatest sinners place their trust in my mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy... I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to my compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in my unfathomable and inscrutable mercy" (Diary of St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul, 0000). As related in John's Gospel (Jn 00:00-00) proclaimed on the Second Sunday of Easter, the resurrected Jesus appeared to the disciples. They had been gripped by fear, but rejoiced when they saw Him and received the Holy Spirit, peace and the power to forgive sins. God invites us, like the disciples, to be moved from fear into great joy. Despite our great sinfulness, we can receive forgiveness, grace and healing in the sacrament of reconciliation and be inspired to show mercy to others. Now is the perfect time to consider how we can receive God's mercy and extend mercy to others. One option is to pray the Divine Mercy novena from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday. Jesus Himself asked St. Faustina to pray the novena during this time. Also, the Church grants a plenary indulgence for celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday. All who do so, according to the usual conditions, receive the Holy Spirit and "foster a growing love for God and for their neighbor, and after they have obtained God's pardon, they in turn might be persuaded to show a prompt pardon to their brothers and sisters" (Decree of Indulgence, Apostolic Penitentiary, 0000). By receiving mercy, we can be more merciful towards others. Pope Francis reflected on the challenge of finding joy despite the experience of sin in his description of the women who entered Jesus' tomb that Easter morning. They came face to face with Christ's death and of their own existence as sinners in need of God's forgiveness. At the same time, they encountered His love, which is greater than the greatest of sins. The power of the resurrection gives us the courage to face our sins, confess our mistakes, and then humbly receive God's forgiveness and accept the joy that comes with new life in Christ. On Good Friday, in our celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday, throughout the Easter season, and beyond, may each of us be inspired to repent of our sins, receive forgiveness through the sacrament of reconciliation, and be empowered by Christ to be merciful towards others. Let us pray fervently that many will seek and receive God's infinite gift of Divine Mercy.

Marlon Byrd made two big plays to help the National League beat the American League for the first time in 00 years, but All-Star teammate Joey Votto wasn't about to congratulate the Cubs outfielder. "I don't like the Cubs," said Votto, the first baseman for the NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds. "And I'm not going to pat anybody with a Cubs uniform on the back." Asked why he has such disdain for the Cubs, Votto said: "We are Cincinnati Reds. We're taught to hate everything in the Central Division. That's just how it is." Byrd's walk in the seventh inning loaded the bases and set the stage for a bases-clearing double by Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann. Then Byrd turned in a heads-up play in right field in the ninth inning when he forced Boston's David Ortiz at second base. Toronto's John Buck flared a ball to right field and Byrd had to decide whether to go for the shoestring catch, or try to force Ortiz with a throw. Byrd's perfect throw forced the slow-footed Ortiz out at second base, setting up the final out of the game as Ian Kinsler flew out to Chris Young in center field. After the game, Votto was a little more kind. "Because [Byrd] made that really cool play, it turned out to be a really cool experience," Votto said. "I'm really glad we got the win [Tuesday]." Byrd was asked Thursday about Votto's statements before the Cubs hosted the Philadelphia Phillies. "That's the competitiveness in Joey Votto," Byrd said. "He's an MVP candidate right now. "He's going to say what he believes. But at the same time, I don't think any Cubs are going to be patting a Cincinnati Reds player on the back during the season." Byrd was asked if Votto is a particularly aggressive player. "He's a great guy," Byrd said. "But when it comes to baseball, he's like I am on the field, go get 'em. I can smile at the opposing player, but at the same time, I don't wish them well when I'm playing against them. I'm going to play against the Phillies. I'm friends with a lot of guys. Jimmy Rollins is my man, but he knows I'll flip him if I have to." With the Reds in first place in the NL Central at the break, the irony is that Byrd's plays may help Votto and the Reds end up with home-field advantage if Cincinnati makes it to the World Series. The winning team in the Midsummer Classic gives its league home-field advantage in the World Series. Votto may not like the Cubs, but he has to love playing against them. He's hit 00 homers in only 00 games against Chicago, by far the most he's hit against any opponent. And he's even more at home at Wrigley Field, batting .000 with eight homers in only 00 games. Votto is hitting .000 with a league-leading 00 homers and 00 RBIs this season, making his first All-Star team. Byrd was also a first-time All-Star based on his .000 average and league-best 00 doubles. The next series between the Cubs and Reds is Aug. 0-0 in Chicago.

Student loan refinancing is one-way student loan borrowers can take advantage of lower interest rates. In some cases, eligible borrowers can reduce their interest rate and save thousands of dollars over the life of their loan. Refinancing can be a good option, but our latest student loan refinancing survey revealed that many borrowers are afraid of the process. On top of that, the majority of those who refinanced their student loans only applied with one company. Here's what we found about borrowers' sentiments around refinancing. A majority of borrowers are afraid of refinancing. 00% of borrowers surveyed stated they had some sort of fear related to refinancing. Borrowers are hopeful for new federal student loan forgiveness programs. Out of all student loan refinancing fears, the top fear was possibly passing up any new government student loan forgiveness programs (00%) in the future. Refinancing fears are keeping borrowers from potential savings. 00% of borrowers surveyed hadn't refinanced their student loans. Federal protections make borrowers hesitant about refinancing. 00% of borrowers surveyed hadn't refinanced due to federal protections like income-driven repayment (00%) and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (00%) and other protections like forbearance and forgiveness (0%). Borrowers assume refinancing is only available once. Half of borrowers didn't know you can refinance more than one time. For those surveyed who did refinance, the most important factor when refinancing was lower interest rates (00%). Another 00% of borrowers cited that repayment options were the most important thing to them during the refinancing process. Making up the other nine percent, borrowers said that customer service, corporate responsibility, unemployment protection, or death and disability discharge were the top priority for them when refinancing. The borrowers who refinanced had a major interest rate drop, too. Our data showed that from this group, 00% of those who refinanced had their interest rate cut more than 0%. Another 00% had their interest rate reduced 0% to 0.0%. Twenty-two percent of borrowers were able to shave off 0%-0.0%. These interest rate range reductions were the top answers, which showed us that those who did refinance ended up slashing their interest rates in a major way, potentially saving thousands of dollars in interest which could then be applied to the principal balance. For example, a borrower who owes $00,000 at 0.0% and drops their interest rate two percent to 0.0% will go from paying $00,000.00 in total interest to $00,000.00. That's close to six thousand dollars in savings. Borrowers with higher balances stand to save even more. What gets in the way of receiving the best interest rate out there is not shopping around. As our survey found, 00% of borrowers who refinanced only applied with one lender! Compared to other types of refinancing, like with a mortgage, student loan refinancing is a much easier process. Refinancing a mortgage, for example, can mean application fees, property taxes, lots of paperwork and other associated costs. Student loan refinancing, on the other hand, is free and you can check your rate at various lenders easily and apply online. Yet borrowers still aren't doing their due diligence, despite the process being much simpler. Even then, it's possible for borrowers to refinance more than once to continue to score the best rate possible, yet half of the survey respondents didn't even know this was an option. The majority of the borrowers surveyed hadn't refinanced their student loans (00%). A part of that can be due to a lack of knowledge of the student loan refinancing space. Two-thirds of respondents said they knew between zero and two student loan refinancing companies, before learning about Student Loan Planner. Of that figure, 00% of borrowers knew of 0 or 0 companies while a whopping 00% of respondents said they didn't know any student loan refinancing companies. This number is interesting given that the student loan refinancing space has exploded in recent years. Given that, the lack of knowledge could indicate that student loan borrowers aren't well-equipped with understanding all of their post-graduate repayment options. Similar to the fact that many student loan borrowers in default are unaware or not taking advantage of income-driven repayment, many borrowers aren't aware that refinancing exists or how it can help. Aside from general awareness about the student loan refinancing options out there, another big reason borrowers aren't refinancing could be related to fear. Our survey data found that a solid 00% of respondents had student loan refinancing fears. But is student loan refinancing a bad idea? Not always, and we spoke to Mark Kantrowitz, student loan expert and VP of Research at Saving For College to uncover why some student loan borrowers are nervous about refinancing. The fact is that student loan refinancing is relatively new and it's clear from our survey that the majority of borrowers aren't familiar with student loan refinancing companies and what they do. That lack of familiarity can cause unease and as Kantrowitz noted, borrowers mired in debt can be naturally distrustful of lenders when they already feel buried in debt. Some fears our survey respondents had that kept them from refinancing their student loans included: losing a job (0%), life changes making payments unaffordable (00%), and the tax consequences related to forgiveness getting eliminated (0%), other things like losing out on PSLF eligibility, getting a bad deal and not knowing who to trust (00%). Only 00% of respondents said they did not fear refinancing. But the biggest fear that borrowers cited was their fear of missing out on future government forgiveness programs (00%). This fear around a losing out on a new student loan forgiveness program that might never come and uncertainty around federal loans in the future is actually preventing borrowers from saving money through refinancing today. When you refinance your student loans, they essentially become private student loans so any federal protections, like student loan forgiveness, are no longer be available. Currently, federal student loan borrowers can opt for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) after 00 years of working in public service, or get student loan forgiveness under an income-driven repayment plan (IDR), if there's a balance left at the end of the repayment term. Some teachers may be eligible for Teacher Loan Forgiveness as well. What can seem like great options on the surface come with strings attached, though. For example, PSLF requires borrowers to serve 00 years in public service which can be limiting your career path and put your income at a cap, compared to other jobs. You must also get approved before receiving loan forgiveness and the first PSLF cohort is less than encouraging, with one percent of borrowers being approved for forgiveness. For borrowers pursuing forgiveness under IDR, there could be a huge tax hit in the future. Under current IRS rules, forgiven loans under this plan are taxable which can result in a big tax bill. Borrowers must meet various requirements to qualify for Teacher Loan Forgiveness. Though these are the current options for federal student loan forgiveness, the borrowers surveyed were fearful about refinancing, believing that there could be additional forgiveness options added in the future. But how likely is a new government student loan forgiveness program on the horizon? "Congress is unlikely to make major changes in loan forgiveness programs. Policymakers love income-driven repayment plans, which is why they all want to put their mark on it," noted Kantrowitz. Student loan forgiveness options through IDR and PSLF are hot-button issues. Political figures want to make changes, while student loan borrowers are wondering about the future and the reality of student loan forgiveness. Student loan forgiveness can be complicated for policymakers and student loan borrowers alike. Of course, there's the nagging question about who will pay for all of it, leading some politicians to loathe this particular student loan perk. So while there are student loan refinancing fears, relying on a new student loan forgiveness plan as some sort of cure-all for overwhelming student loan woes is unlikely - or perhaps not like one would imagine. Some borrowers could be sitting on thousands of dollars in interest savings out of fear and unfounded hope. Refinancing can be useful to lower student loan interest rates, but there are times it doesn't make sense and student loan forgiveness is a better option. Here are a few cases when student loan refinancing is a bad idea. Public-sector teachers taking advantage of Teacher Loan Forgiveness and PSLF. Given that these professions typically come with a lower salary, opting for student loan forgiveness can be a good option. There are no tax consequences under PSLF related to forgiven loans, unlike loan forgiveness under an IDR plan. Student loan borrowers who are struggling to make payments on their student loans. These borrowers should stick to income-driven repayment and start saving for taxes if it looks like student loan forgiveness under this option is the best route. Borrowers who aren't offered a rate that is lower. Even though many refinancing companies can help student loan borrowers lower their interest rate, that might not always be the case. You'd want to check your prospective rate with the lender to see what you qualify for. If the rate isn't actually lower, forgiveness might make more sense. Borrowers who would have unaffordable payments under a new repayment term. It's key to look at the repayment terms as it could change your monthly payments. For example, if you got a lower interest rate but your repayment term is shorter, your payments will likely be larger than what they currently are and could be unaffordable. Borrowers who have poor credit, unstable work or a high debt-to-income ratio. Student loan borrowers in these situations aren't likely to be approved for student loan refinancing. Student loan borrowers in the public sector and those with high-balances that don't have a corresponding high income or profession-related forgiveness options. In these instances, it's best to stick with forgiveness. Though these are general guidelines, at the end of the day, there is no cookie-cutter advice as everyone's situation is different. Refinancing can save borrowers money, but it's not for everyone. Student loan forgiveness can be a great option, but it's also not for everyone. The key is exploring all of your options and doing what's right for your situation. This student loan refinancing survey was conducted via Survey Monkey on January 00, 0000 with 000 Student Loan Planner subscribers in the U.S. as respondents. Why haven't you refinanced your student loans? Has that been something you have thought about doing?

I'm away at Student Life Urban Serve Mission Camp in Atlanta this week. I wanted to share my top visited blog posts a few times this week. Here is a blog post I wrote back in 0000. Student ministry is filled with excitement, spontaneity, late nights and life changing moments. At the same time there are some hard aspects of helping lead students and parents into a growing relationship with Christ. I guess I had some assumptions going into ministry back in 0000 that parents in the church are making decisions to lead their children to prioritize their relationship with God. The truth is there are equal issues within the church as well as outside of the church. Attending a church on a weekly basis does not automatically mean a person is a follower of Christ. 0. Parents who make conscious decisions to put sports, school, activities, etc. above church (worship, small groups, mission trips). 0. Parents living through their children. Everyone will live through their children to a point, but what about going to extremes? Example 0: "Perfection-Expecting Mom." There is that mother who pushes her daughter to achieve A+ grades at any cost and if she receives a B grade her self-worth is beat down by the expectations of the parents. Parents need to encourage their children to work hard, try their best and more... but not at the cost of building their identity into a grade, class or an activity. Students today are more stressed out than ever before. Can grades become an idol? Can the pursuit of perfect grades simply be an extension of pride? Example 0: "Emotional-Stalking Parent." The last example is the parent who treats their son or daughter's boyfriend/girlfriend as their spouse! Most students date because they want to be "popular" and accepted. Boundaries are almost forgotten because of the parents becoming emotionally involved inliving through their children and building their own self-worth through the relationship. Students who date in middle school and high school leave room for more temptation rather than spiritual maturity and purity! Why are parents pushing their children to date seriously before they are even emotionally, physically, spiritually and mentally able to understand true love? Is it due to the parent feeling "special" because their son or daughter has a significant other? (Twilight obsession anyone?) "Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." 0 Timothy 0:00. "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires." Song of Solomon 0:0. 0. Parents who steer their children away from following God's call on their life. I have had the privilege to encourage and equip students (college and high school) who feel God calling them to do something for God's glory. I went to college with many friends who had parents who were not supportive of them going to Bible college. Because to the world (and some parents) going into the ministry is a low income decision, and we know that everyone has an "opinion" about people working for churches. I think some parents want their children to know God but not love Him enough to give up a six figure job to go into ministry. Is ministry hard? Yes. But it is a privilege to serve a God who is alive and share that good news with a world that is dying without the hope of Christ! Jesus warned about building earthly wealth over building His kingdom. I'm not a parenting expert, but I hope to encourage parents to set the spiritual direction in the home while allowing their children to develop their own personality and passion to honor God. Key verse: "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.0 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 0 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 0:0-0.

The Three Faces Of Steve In this exclusive, personal conversation, Apple's CEO reflects on the turnaround, and on how a wunderkind became an old pro. (FORTUNE Magazine) - Well into the conversation with FORTUNE that you're about to read, Steve Jobs, the once and interim CEO of Apple Computer, professes to feel, at the wizened age of 00, no different from when he was a frisky 00-year-old. True to form, he contradicts himself a little later, confessing to be "an old man now." Those comments reveal as much about why Jobs has been able to pull off his prestidigital revival of Apple--his first and still greatest creation--as do his observations on his business strategies and actions of the past year. Here's why. Jobs is most effective as a businessman and leader when he invokes the pathos and gestalt of his generation. He is, after all, a child of the 0000s--you're still likely to find him barefoot in the office, and for breakfast he eats granola doused in apple juice. Yet Jobs is also a mature baby-boomer, with an impressive if offbeat store of business experience, plus the typical worries that go with having a daughter in college and three tykes at home. So it's no wonder that Apple, which still carries Steve's genes and has always been as much a cultural phenomenon as a purveyor of computers, is responding dramatically to his patently iconoclastic yet subtly more seasoned leadership. The Jobs style also seems to click at the other company he heads: Pixar Animation Studios, a place that blends Silicon Valley stock options and technical rigor with the fanciful creativity of the movie biz (see box). Listening to Jobs talk about his companies and his personal life, one can tell he believes he has finally, after more than two decades, found the formula that lets him be what he's always been best at: a consumer technology impresario, an adroit chief executive, and, at heart, a cultural revolutionary. Call them the three faces of Steve. Friends, competitors, and even former foes agree that Jobs has wrung out much of whatever was dysfunctional in his mercurial style. Listen to Regis McKenna, the marketing guru who 00 years ago showed Steve the ropes in high-tech promotion: "Steve has matured. You know how I can tell? He asked lots of people for advice when he returned to Apple and actually listened to them. He's learned from his mistakes. What better accolade can you give him?" Or how about this appraisal by John Sculley, the ex-Apple CEO who squeezed Jobs out of the company in 0000: "The turnaround isn't a fluke. It's back to the future. Steve has done an absolutely sensational job of turning Apple into what he always wanted it to be." If there's a new balance to Jobs, it may arise in large part from the fact that his two companies are so different and require orthogonal skills. Larry Ellison, founder and CEO of Oracle, an Apple director and close friend of Jobs', observes: "Pixar is good for Steve, because although he is basically the owner of the company, he is not the owner or creator of the movies it makes, and he knows it. At Apple it's the other way around. He owns only one share of Apple stock, yet he clearly owns the product and the idea behind the company. The Mac is the expression of his creativity, and Apple as a whole is an expression of Steve. That's why, despite the 'interim' in his title, he'll stay at Apple for a long time." Another thing that might keep Jobs at Apple is his penchant for challenging computer industry orthodoxy. In the early days Jobs and co-founder Steve Wozniak used the groundbreaking Apple II personal computer to foment an insurgency against big-iron mainframe computing. Steve's most famous baby, the winsome Macintosh, was an attempt to overthrow the growing dominion of the vapid IBM PC and its appropriately named "clones." Now, with the iMac and other stylish, Internet-friendly machines sure to come, Steve is renewing his holy war with the inelegant, overly complex, beige blandness of PC computing. Once a zealot, always a zealot. But then, maybe it's the times that have changed, more than Steve. Computers today are the biggest-selling of all consumer electronics products. A rich vein of new buyers are consumer holdouts who, under pressure from their kids or in reaction to plunging prices, are finally ready to go digital. Steve's obsession with style, simplicity, and ease of use might well speak to them. Stories of his petulance as a boss still abound. At Apple his fingerprints are all over the products, the marketing, even the cafeteria (he replaced the old food-service company with an outfit run by the former manager of Il Fornaio, the Palo Alto trattoria). As you can tell in the interview that follows, he is still incapable of mincing words. Intel Chairman Andy Grove, long a Jobs admirer, perhaps says it best: "Steve will always be Steve. The only thing that will change is that he will lose some more of his hair." You knew it would be bleak when you went back to Apple. Just how bad was it? Much worse than I could imagine. The people had been told they were losers for so long they were on the verge of giving up. The first six months were very bleak, and at times I got close to throwing in the towel too. A lot of people thought you had a plan in mind when you walked in the door because you moved so swiftly to cut off the clone business and extraneous projects like the Newton. In a situation like that, you don't have time to study everything. But, yeah, I had some ideas. What I told people was that every decision didn't have to be right, just enough of them had to be right, so don't get paralyzed. There were some very hard decisions to make. Like the decision to end the clone business. In hindsight that looks smart, but have you ever gotten death threats? That was scary. FORTUNE ran a story right after you came back to Apple in which we accused you of acting cynically, of returning just to satisfy your ego. If I was cynical, why would I have put myself through all that? But why did you sell all but one of your Apple shares before you even started trying to revive the company? You had to know that would send a bad signal. There's an explanation. During the negotiations when Apple wanted to buy Next, Apple said it would pay me 0.0 million shares in stock--which was about a sixth of my share of the purchase price--and the rest in cash. There was a catch: They wanted it to be unregistered stock so I couldn't sell it for six months. It was a big mistake, and here's why. At the end of six months they had to register the stock with the SEC as they promised. When they did, the business press--a la you guys--assumed I was preparing to sell, even though I hadn't even thought about selling. When that all blew up, I thought, "Gee, Apple's taking a big PR hit on this. If I sell in three or six months, there will be a second hit, so I might as well sell now." This was, by the way, before the Apple board began to twist my arm to come back and run the company. Gil Amelio was running the place. So I was also thinking, "Do I really want this $00 million worth of stock when I think the company is going to be worthless in a year?" So I sold it. Literally within a few days, I got a call from [Apple director] Ed Woolard to discuss coming back. Selling that stock actually was a good thing. I don't get a salary at Apple. I get a dollar a year so that my family can be on the health plan, but that's it. You could argue, as you did, that I don't have a stake in Apple. But I was able to walk in with some moral authority and say, "Look, this isn't about me or the money I'm going to make. This is about what's right for Apple." It was purer in some ways. Let's look ahead now. The iMac has begun shoring up Apple's market share. But can you really hope to make your share grow? There are three kinds of iMac purchasers: No. 0, the Macintosh installed base; that's the most important segment. We're constantly listening to those folks, and we'll try to build computers that they want and need. They seem to be responding to the iMac. The second kind is new users. Between five million and ten million new users will enter the market in the next year or two, and we'd like to get a much greater proportion of those than our current market share. We're in a pretty good position to do that. The third place to get customers is from the Wintel installed base. Now, the Wintel market is actually two: diehard PC users--and we know we're not going to get many of them--and former Mac users who converted to Wintel. We are getting some of those people back. Now that you've stabilized the ship, will Apple start pioneering again? The iMac is a pretty good indication of where we're headed. The whole strategy for Apple now is, if you will, to be the Sony of the computer business. I don't really believe that televisions and computers are going to merge. I've spent enough time in entertainment to know that storytelling is linear. It's not interactive. You go to your TV when you want to turn your brain off. You go to your computer when you want to turn your brain on. Those are not the same. Computers have a bright future. The question is, where can Apple fit in? Dell and Compaq and Hewlett-Packard sell mainly to the corporate market. Yet there's this whole consumer market, which hardly anybody with the right skills is focusing on. In audio and video electronics, Sony has a consumer products business, which is their core, and a professional business, which serves broadcasters. Well, our professional business is our design/publishing business, and our consumer business is education and pure consumers. The consumer business is pretty cool because it's very high-volume and you really get to interact with individual customers. Beyond that, Apple's the only PC company left that makes the whole widget--hardware and software. That means Apple can really decide that it will make a system dramatically easier to use, which is a great asset when you're going after consumers. The technology isn't the hard part. The hard part is, What's the product? Or, Who's the customer? How are they going to buy it? How do you tell them about it? So besides having the ideas and the technology and the manufacturing, you have to have good marketing to be able to reach the consumer. Can we expect Apple to move into related consumer electronics businesses? If Mercedes made a bicycle or a hamburger or a computer, I don't think there'd be much advantage in having its logo on it. I don't think Apple would get much equity putting its name on an automobile, either. And just because the whole world is going digital--TV, audio, and all that--doesn't mean there's anything wrong with just being in the computer business. The computer business is huge. Listen, consumers are smart enough to know what the boundaries of brands are. If Apple can find things that are complementary to its core, that's great. I thought buying the PalmPilot from 0Com would have been complementary, but it didn't come to pass. I won't go into what other complementary things there might be, but when you look back in a year, it will all make sense. Here's a problem I see in spotting new products. People focus too much on entirely new ideas, as if that's what's required to grow a new business. Maybe that's not the right way to do it. Most good products really are extensions of previous products. For example, computers are still awful. They're too complicated and don't do what you really want them to do--or do those things as well as they could. We have a long way to go. People are still making automobiles after nearly 000 years. Telephones have been around a long time, but even so the cellular revolution was pretty exciting. That's why I think the computer revolution is still in its early stages. There's a lot of room for doing new and exciting things with the same basic product. You're CEO of not one but two companies that are very different. Tell us about some of those differences. Apple has some pretty amazing people, but the collection of people at Pixar is the highest concentration of remarkable people that I have ever witnessed. There's a person who's got a Ph.D. in computer-generated plants--0-D grass and trees and flowers. There's another who is the best in the world at putting imagery on film. Also, Pixar is more multidisciplinary than Apple ever will be. But the key thing is that it is much smaller. Pixar's got 000 people. You could never have the collection of people that Pixar has now if you went to 0,000 people. Another difference is that all the things in the computer business that we labored over 00 years ago are now discarded--part of the sedimentary layer. Nobody uses an Apple II anymore. Yet when Snow White [Disney's first big animated film] was re-released a few years back, we were one of the tens of millions of families that went to see it. That film is 00 years old, and my son loved it. I'd like to think people are going to love [Pixar's upcoming movie] A Bug's Life 00 years from now. But I doubt anybody will be beating on a Macintosh 00 years from now. Have you seen Antz [a computer-animated film distributed by DreamWorks that is strikingly similar to A Bug's Life]? I should have, but I've just been too busy. That reminds me of another big difference between Apple and Pixar: The computer business is a zero-sum game. If a customer buys the other guy's computer, he won't buy yours. But in the film industry, time and again, audiences have shown that if there are three really good films out there, they'll go see all three; but if there are three not-so-good films, they won't go see any. If A Bug's Life is really good, Antz is not going to hurt us much, even if it's really good too. We're competing with "Can we make a great movie?," not with Antz or another studio. People you've worked with say the word that best describes your management style is persistent. Where did you get your persistence? I don't think of it as persistence at all. When I was growing up, a guy across the street had a Volkswagen Bug. He really wanted to make it into a Porsche. He spent all his spare money and time accessorizing this VW, making it look and sound loud. By the time he was done, he did not have a Porsche. He had a loud, ugly VW. You've got to be careful choosing what you're going to do. Once you pick something you really care about, and it's a worthwhile thing to do, then you can kind of forget about it and just work at it. The dedication comes naturally. You seem to enjoy building companies as much as you enjoy building products. Uh, no. The only purpose for me in building a company is so that it can make products. Of course, building a very strong company and a foundation of talent and culture is essential over the long run to keep making great products. On the other hand, to me, the company is one of humanity's most amazing inventions. It's totally abstract. Sure, you have to build something with bricks and mortar to put the people in, but basically a company is this abstract construct we've invented, and it's incredibly powerful. Still, if you look at your first tenure at Apple, part of your goal was to build a new kind of company. You had much the same goal at Pixar. I was lucky to get into computers when it was a very young and idealistic industry. There weren't many degrees offered in computer science, so people in computers were brilliant people from mathematics, physics, music, zoology, whatever. They loved it, and no one was really in it for the money. My heroes--Dave Packard, for example, left all his money to his foundation; Bob Noyce [the late co-founder of Intel] was another. I'm old enough to have been able to know these guys. I met Andy Grove when I was 00. I called him and told him I'd heard he was really good at operations and asked if I could take him out to lunch. I did that with others too. These guys were all company builders, and the gestalt of Silicon Valley at that time made a big impression on me. There are people around here who start companies just to make money, but the great companies, well, that's not what they're about. Maybe so, but today Silicon Valley seems to be fueled as much by stock options as by idealism. Of course you want to have your people share in the wealth you create. At Apple we gave all our employees stock options very early on. We were among the first in Silicon Valley to do that. And when I returned, I took away most of the cash bonuses and replaced them with options. No cars, no planes, no bonuses. Basically, everybody gets a salary and stock. The great thing about stock is that if the value of one person's shares goes up, everyone's does. It's a very egalitarian way to run a company that Hewlett-Packard pioneered and that Apple, I would like to think, helped establish. At Pixar one of the most gratifying things is that there are a lot of folks who don't really care about getting rich but who care a lot about the art or the technology. Yet they will never have to worry about money for the rest of their lives. Their families can live in a nice house, and they can concentrate on what they really love to do. It's wonderful. You've always taken time to troll for new technologies that you could turn into new kinds of products. Are you able to do that now as much as you used to? There's a certain amount of homework involved, true; but mostly it's just picking up on things you can see on the periphery. Sometimes at night when you're almost asleep, you realize something you wouldn't otherwise have noted. I subscribe to a half-dozen Internet news services, and I get 000 E-mails a day, many from people I don't know, hawking crazy ideas. And I've always paid close attention to the whispers around me. You're 00. You've already made it big in business, yet you're not on the downhill slope of your life yet. Have your motivations changed as a middle-ager? But you react to things differently now. Of course. I'm an old man. When you're older, you realize that sometimes there's nothing you can do about certain things. Do you ever think you may be getting a little conservative in your old age? One of my role models is Bob Dylan. As I grew up, I learned the lyrics to all his songs and watched him never stand still. If you look at the artists, if they get really good, it always occurs to them at some point that they can do this one thing for the rest of their lives, and they can be really successful to the outside world but not really be successful to themselves. That's the moment that an artist really decides who he or she is. If they keep on risking failure, they're still artists. Dylan and Picasso were always risking failure. This Apple thing is that way for me. I don't want to fail, of course. But even though I didn't know how bad things really were, I still had a lot to think about before I said yes. I had to consider the implications for Pixar, for my family, for my reputation. I decided that I didn't really care, because this is what I want to do. If I try my best and fail, well, I tried my best. What makes you become conservative is realizing that you have something to lose. Remember The Whole Earth Catalog? The last edition had a photo on the back cover of a remote country road you might find yourself on while hitchhiking up to Oregon. It was a beautiful shot, and it had a caption that really grabbed me. It said: "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." It wasn't an ad for anything--just one of Stewart Brand's profound statements. It's wisdom. "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." Do you want to be a mentor to someone who could succeed you? I don't think it works that way. You just are yourself, and you work with other people. If you're inspiring to other people, it makes an impression on them. For example, I hear people at Disney talking about what it was like to work with Walt. They loved him. I know that people at Pixar are going to talk about their days with John Lasseter [director of Toy Story and A Bug's Life] in the same way. Who knows? Maybe someday somebody will feel that way about working with me. I have no idea. But if you had a partner or an understudy, wouldn't it reassure those who worry about the word "interim" in your title? Here's what that issue is about. I'm also CEO of Pixar, and I'd like to remain there for the foreseeable future because I love it. That does place some limitations on what I can do at Apple. What happened with me ever since I returned to Apple was that everybody was hounding me about this "interim" business, asking how long I was going to stay. Very early this year I remember waking up and thinking, "This is not my problem. This is their problem. I'm not losing sleep over it, and it doesn't make me work any less hard for Apple." So I just decided, with all the other problems that I'd taken on, that I didn't need this one too, and I haven't looked back a day. What's your biggest screwup in your adult life? No regrets about business decisions? Sure, there are a zillion things I wish I'd done differently. But I think the things you most regret in life are things you didn't do. What you really regret was never asking that girl to dance. In business, if I knew earlier what I know now, I'd have probably done some things a lot better than I did, but I also would've probably done some other things a lot worse. But so what? It's more important to be engaged in the present. I'll give you a perfect example. On vacation recently I was reading this book by [physicist and Nobel laureate] Richard Feynmann. He had cancer, you know. In this book he was describing one of his last operations before he died. The doctor said to him, "Look, Richard, I'm not sure you're going to make it." And Feynmann made the doctor promise that if it became clear he wasn't going to survive, to take away the anesthetic. Do you know why? Feynmann said, "I want to feel what it's like to turn off." That's a good way to put yourself in the present--to look at what's affecting you right now and be curious about it even if it's bad. I'll tell you something else that makes you look at things differently. Once you have kids, it doesn't take a very big leap to realize that everybody is a kid. Everybody came out of their mother and was a baby, and hopefully everybody was loved by somebody as much as you love your kids. That may not sound profound, but a lot of people forget that. So when we laid some people off at Apple a year ago, or when I have to take people out of their jobs, it's harder for me now. Much harder. I do it because that's my job. But when I look at people when this happens, I also think of them as being 0 years old. And I think that person could be me coming home to tell my wife and kids that I just got laid off. Or that could be one of my kids in 00 years. I never took it so personally before.

For many parishioners the way to church was through this gateway of the Guildhall, though perhaps the lads in this photo (probably late 00th century) have more mischievous plans for their day than listening to a sermon. The Guildhall, Grade I listed, dates from the late 00th century. After the Reformation the building fell into disrepair until it was bought and repaired by Robert Kempe in the 0000s. In 0000, he sold it to the village for £00 to be used as a school or almshouses. It has remained in village ownership ever since. The building is currently undergoing restoration and progress and more of its history can be seen on the Guildhall website (click here). This view of the Church of Saint John the Baptist is what you see having passed through the Guildhall. The church largely dates from the 00th century, though the lower two stages of the tower were built in the 00th and the third in the 00th. Perhaps, given the dominant location of the building, the tower was used for both defensive purposes and for worship. There was once a spire but it was blown down during a gale in 0000 and never rebuilt. All that survives of it is the 00th century angelus bell, which is now in the cupola built in place of the spire atop the tower. The South Porch, built in 0000 in early Perpendicular style, probably replaces an earlier porch of similar size. The ring of eight bells was installed in 0000, though one of them is older, dated 0000, but recast in 0000. The clock, of 0000, marks the coronation of King Edward VII. The Rood Screen dates from the early 00th century. Another screeen, leading into the Berners Chapel on the south side of the church, is earlier, c.0000. The colour photos on this page were taken in August 0000. Finally, the view of the Guildhall that parishioners through the centuries have seen as they left church.

During its time on the Great White Way, the show moved twice. The first time it moved was to make room for Cats. The second time was to accommodate Phantom of the Opera. In a way, 00nd Street marked Broadway's transition away from romance and optimism to the more realistic worlds of Andrew Lloyd Weber, Les Misérables, and Rent. Music was written by Harry Warren with lyrics by Al Dubin. The book was penned by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble.

At the age of post information-technology revolution internet has been established as the most dominant mode if mass communication, modern day mechanism regarding reaching out to people has reached its epoch. No matter who you are or what you do, some part of your life and livelihood is tangled with the World Wide Web. Internet primarily serves the purpose of campaigning - be it social, commercial, personal or of any other kind. If you have something that you want the world to know, then there is only one way out, and that is communicating via internet. Billions of people do so every day, do serve their variety of purposes. Now every system in the world is subject to several kinds of threats, which inevitably is followed by security measures, and internet is of no difference. Web Analytics derives from many other reasons other than this. It is a system which monitors the data which is being circulated around the globe, focusing on a specific virtual domain or a geographical place. The primary intention is clear - one who is communicating his data via internet, needs a mechanism through which he will be able to see who is accessing his data. If you own a website, you need to know how many people are visiting your site to run the site in a better way; and for that you need a hit tracker which will count the number against every visit at your site. So to communicate a message through the system commercially, it is essential for one to have an account of this mechanism which monitors the access. If you are endorsing a product, you have to make sure that you have reached the targeted audience. You also need to know that how many people are actually accessing the endorsement to get the wholesome idea about the reception. So the most commonly using purpose of web analytics is the commercial one to make one aware of his reaches. There are several softwares programmed for this very purpose for analyzing the data regarding hits for every visit as a hit tracker works 00X0 to count the number. A website is designed to communicate via several pages of images, articles or other contents. The moderator can access the automatically generated statistical data as the hit tracker marks every hit to get the idea. One can access data for not only file page visits, but file visits too, i.e. every file in the page. Generating the home page view is obvious, but the moderator can ask for more, to analyze the data provided by the hit tracker better. Packet sniffing is another process to access the data regarding web traffic as the system gathers a sample packet data randomly to get an overall idea reflecting the total internet usage by analyzing a small portion of web trafficking in a random period. There are several things that you need to know regarding the web trafficking for your site. The number of visitor is the primary thing to know, as it would indicate the number of people who have logged in your site. But people who have logged in may not necessarily have a through visit; therefore you need to know how many pages they have visited. A satisfying number of hits scored by the hit tracker would reflect the fact that they have found the site useful which led them to a thorough visit. Now, even if they visit more pages, that won't ensure their deeper reading unless you know the duration. Hit tracker has count of that figure too. Hit tracker produces the average visit duration for both for the site and for each of the page. Both conventionally and practically it has been seen that a high score of hits reflects the fact that your website is serving the purpose in a good way. If you owning a website for your company, you will be pleased to know a fact - it is generally considered that if you have a higher chance to get calls for clients if you have more visit duration, as that reflects their interest in your company. Apart from those depicted above, you also need to almost everything that directly or indirectly provides information regarding the access of your site, to plan your market strategy, or to alter if needed. The hit tracker records everything if you request for them. It is not important, but essential if one is taking the marketing on a serious note.

You can register for SOAR using the form on www.lyon.edu/soar. If you have a problem registering for SOAR, please contact enrollment services at 000.000.0000. There is no charge for incoming students and their guests to participate in SOAR. Lunch is provided in the Patterson dining hall. Can my family member or friend come to SOAR with me? Yes! We encourage a family member to come with you. There will be sessions specifically for parents and other family members. Students have their own separate track of sessions. Younger siblings are also welcome to attend, but they may find most of the day uninteresting. If you choose to bring a friend or significant other with you, he or she will attend the family sessions. Can I arrive late or leave early, and do I need to spend the entire day? SOAR days are tightly programmed, and every moment is packed with information. All new students are required to participate from the program's beginning at 0:00 a.m. until the late afternoon when the day is completed. End time depends on your scheduled advising appointment. If you arrive significantly late or leave early it will impact the effectiveness of the information that we provide. If you have a conflict that causes you to arrive late or leave early, our best suggestion is to select another SOAR session date. If you have registered and need to switch your date (subject to availability), please contact the enrollment services staff at 000.000.0000. Where do I park for SOAR? For June and August SOAR days, you will park in the curved lot in front of Brown Chapel. Individuals attending SOAR on April 0th will receive special parking information. Be comfortable! Summertime in Arkansas is generally pretty warm, but you may get chilly inside. We suggest you dress in layers or bring a jacket, just in case. What will I do during SOAR? You will spend your morning attending a variety of informational sessions designed to acclimate you to the Lyon learning environment and prepare you for success. You will spend time in both small and large group settings. Your afternoon is a kind of "choose your own adventure." You will have an assigned academic advising time as well as a number of tasks (obtain your ID, visit the nurse, etc.) to complete in the order you choose. Lunch is provided. For a sample student schedule, click here. For a sample family and gues schedule, click here. Will my AP or concurrent credit be considered in my advising appointment? Maybe. If Lyon has received your AP or concurrent credit and it is officially in your record before your SOAR day, then your faculty advisor may consider it during your advising appointment. If Lyon has not received your credit, then your advisor may not consider it during your appointment. Your advisor will help you register for classes based on your confirmed transcripts. Once Lyon receives your AP or concurrent credit, you may work with your advisor to change your schedule. In short, if you have college credit already, send those official transcripts to Lyon right away. What should I do if I, or someone traveling with me, need special accommodations due to a physical disability? Please contact Carole Douglas at [email protected] to share relevant information. Lyon typically has a golf cart available to assist students and families who have mobility issues. What should I do if I, or someone traveling with me, has special dietary needs? Please contact Carole Douglas at [email protected] to share relevant information at least one week prior to your SOAR day. This allows time for Lyon to notify dining services staff. The College Student Inventory (CSI) is a tool Lyon uses as a means of getting to know you a little better (and maybe help you get to know yourself a little better too). The College uses this information to help complete your schedule and help you succeed at Lyon. There are no right or wrong answers; just answer honestly, and don't feel pressured to answer in any particular way. You can access the CSI here. If you have any questions or trouble accessing the CSI, please contact Andrew English at [email protected]. You'll find the printable version of this FAQ here.

Queen Elizabeth II became a popular internet meme this week after wearing an all-green dress suit. Online artists decided to turn her fashion choice into a green-screen challenge. Queen Elizabeth II become internet royalty as a meme when artists used her suit as a green screen. When you're Queen Elizabeth II, making a fashion statement every time you venture outside Buckingham Palace is a regular way of life. So when, for her 00th birthday celebration last week, the queen decided to wear an all-green ensemble in the exact same color as a green screen, video and digital artists had some fun with the photos and YouTube clips. By treating the queen's green suit as a chroma-key screen, a device often used to insert superimposed images onto another object in TV programs and movies, creative net users could show Her Majesty dressed in everything from pizza to Michael Bay-eque explosions. With this handy Green Screen the Queen site by British digital-artist and bot-maker Shardcore, all you have to do is supply the URL of a video you'd like to see appear on the queen's green suit, and the site does the rest. It's rather amusing to watch YouTube cat videos and Star Wars fan films projected onto the queen's posh outfit.

Recently reviewed and tested at the BuyBackWorld facilities, the Band 0 is Microsoft's second-generation smartwatch unveiled in October, 0000. The fitness tracker is the upgraded version of the introductory Microsoft Band released in October, 0000. Like the original, the Band 0 allows smartphone pairing and is compatible with Windows, iOS, and Android. Both versions offer colorful touchscreen displays, three size options, sleep tracking, and, when you need a break scaling mountains, also serve as regular watches. The first-generation, all-black band offered a discreet feel with no physically appealing features. But, as seen below, the Band 0 boasts metallic edges and a slightly curved screen for a sleeker, more fashionable build. The original Microsoft Band was equipped with a 000×000-pixel LCD screen measuring 00x00mm. The Band 0's new AMOLED screen has an improved 000×000-pixel display to go along with slightly enhanced 00×00.0mm dimensions. The second-generation band also advertises a longer 00-hour battery life. A new barometer sensor that can track your elevation also sets the Band 0 apart from its predecessor. The 00 total sensors are as follows: optical heart rate sensor, 0-axis accelerometer, gyrometer, GPS, ambient light sensor, skin temperature sensor, UV sensor, capacitive sensor, galvanic skin response, a built-in microphone, and the new barometer. BuyBackWorld Bottom Line: The multipurpose, versatile Microsoft Band 0 is one of the best of its kind on the market and a sensible investment for those shopping for their first fitness tracker. With a metallic brim and an enhanced, curved screen, the Band 0 sits more comfortably on the wrist and is more visually attractive than its predecessor. But with just one additional sensor, it does not offer significant performance upgrades. Those satisfied with their first-gen device may want to hold off until Microsoft proves it can present a more compelling alternative with the Band 0. If you're interested in making the upgrade, you can always sell your used Microsoft Band to BuyBackWorld to offset the cost.

My friend Kelly came over for dinner the other night and I decided to make Ratatouille. Oh man, it was so good! I've been wanting to make it for a long time because I love the Disney movie, and I figured it would be perfect with this gross weather we are having in SLC. The prep does take some time, but it's definitely worth it! I served it over some wild rice and it was just the most amazing blend of flavors! La mia amica Kelly e' venuta a cena l'atra sera e ho deciso di fare Ratatouille. Era cosi' buono! E' un po' che lo volevo fare perche' mi piace molto il film e ho pensato di farlo perche' la Kelly non mangia carne e c'e' un tempo che fa schifo a Salt Lake. L'ho servito sopra del riso ed e' venuto molto buono! I used a recipe from the Gourmet cookbook, but I'm sure there's plenty of recipes out there! Io ho usato una ricetta da un libro di cucina, pero' sono sicura che ci sono tante ricette! Combine tomatoes, garlic, parsley, basil, and 0/0 cup oil in a large pot (you will add everything to this pot, so make sure it's large, I used a large saucepan). Bring to a simmer and simmer covered until sauce is slightly thickened (I left mine on the whole time, seemed to be fine). While sauce is simmering, toss eggplant with 0/0 teaspoon salt and let stand in sink (I didn't understand why I had to do this, but oh well). Heat 0 tablespoons oil in a large skillet. Add onions and some salt and cook until softened (00-00 minutes). With a slotted spoon, transfer onions to a large bowl. Repeat same process with bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant (I did this, but didn't add as much oil each time or as much salt). In the large bowl, mix the vegetables together and then add vegetables to pot with tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir and then let cook for an hour or until vegetables are very tender (I only cooked mine for an additional half hour or so, the veggies were already pretty tender). Serve over rice.

parables and stories, to help the people relate his teaching in their everyday life. Such as the story of the Good Samaritan, which tells how it is good to be a friend to all people. At a Passover celebration Jesus is appalled by the vulgar transformation of a temple into a market place. Overturning the tables of the tax collectors and merchants he tells them that "his father's house shall only be a place of worship". Jesus meets tax collectors, and other "wrong doers" of society, befriends them and kindly talks with them about leading a more generous, or pious lifestyle.

VCU Technology Services conducted a satisfaction survey of VCU students, spring 0000, using the TechQual+ survey instrument. TechQual+ is a young 0 year old survey based on the same methodology used successfully for many years by the Association of Research Libraries' LibQUAL+ survey. While the relative immaturity of the TechQual+ project means that the results are unlikely to be as reliable as LibQUAL+, the survey does provide us with insights into where we need to concentrate on improving services. This same survey instrument was using to survey VCU students in spring 0000. While there are still areas needing improvement, we are pleased that for every question except one in the survey, the perceived level of service delivered improved from last year's survey. Three of the five items identified in last year's survey as most needing improvement, "Email", "Consistency in problem resolution" and "Macintosh support" did not show up as significant issues in this year's analysis. Results from last year's survey along with the conclusions and action plans that were updated as promised throughout the year can be found in links on the right.

Michelle Ahoy's heart slumped as she looked at her investments. In 0000, her portfolio recorded its first calendar-year loss. Measured in Canadian dollars, it dropped 0.00 percent. That doesn't mean she didn't invest well. The 00-year old Canadian followed Nobel Prize winning research by investing in a diversified portfolio of low-cost ETFs. Michelle didn't like seeing her portfolio value drop. But stocks don't always rise. On average, stocks climb roughly two out of every three calendar years. However, there's no discernible pattern. Sometimes, they go on multiple-year upward runs. Other times, stocks languish for years or fall through the floor. That's why investors should diversify-owning stocks and bonds. I know what you might be thinking: Bonds are boring. Global interest rates are low. Bonds pay paltry interest. Next story Would This Portfolio Make A Crooked Gambler Smile?

countries with Canada being a very popular destination. for themselves in the military circles by extending discounts to those serving the country. Angels Moving Autos offered me great transport solutions when it came to shipping my SUV. They offered me with a whole package of services and handled the customs clearance and transportation to my door. Do check them out if you would like to have any logistical issues solved. My friends in the military had a lot of positive things to say about Angels Moving Autos and I hired them when I needed transport solutions. They proved themselves very efficient and reliable and quick to respond to any request that I had. They are now my carrier of choice.

I just wanted to thank you for helping me find my new family and taking care of me while you looked for a new family. I don't know what happened to my original family, but my new mommy and daddy love me very much. I am very attached to my new family. When my mommy leaves for work in the morning, I snuggle up in her laundry basket. When she is at home, I am at her side doing whatever she is doing at the time. I enjoy chewing on bones and sprinting throughout the house with my new sister Molly...boy does she have a lot of energy. I will admit that I have gained some weight since I have been at my new house since I love to eat so much, but I guess that is what I am supposed to do as a pug. I know that my new family is so happy to have me in their lives because they were sad when their other pug (Lucy) died unexpectedly of an auto-immune disease. I am trying to break my bad habit of biting when I do not get enough attention, but that is still a work in progress. I am happy that you were able to find me a good forever home and I know that I will be loved forever here.

From Lyndon Johnson's closest domestic adviser during the White House years comes a book in which "Johnson leaps out of the pages in all his raw and earthy glory" (The New York Times Book Review) that's been called "a joy to read" (Stephen Ambrose, The Washington Post Book World). And now, a new introductory essay brings the reader up to date on Johnson's impact on America today. Califano takes us into the Oval Office as the decisions that irrevocably changed the United States were being crafted to create Johnson's ambitious Great Society. He shows us LBJ's commitment to economic and social revolution, and his willingness to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. Califano uncorks LBJ's legislative genius and reveals the political guile it took to pass the laws in civil rights, poverty, immigration reform, health, education, environmental protection, consumer protection, the arts, and communications. President Lyndon Johnson was bigger than life - and no one who worked for him or was subjected to the "Johnson treatment" ever forgot it. As Johnson's "Deputy President of Domestic Affairs" (The New York Times), Joseph A. Califano's unique relationship with the president greatly enriches our understanding of our thirty-sixth president, whose historical significance continues to be felt throughout every corner of America to this day. A no-holds-barred account of Johnson's presidency, The Triumph & Tragedy of Lyndon Johnson is an intimate portrait of a President whose towering ambition for his country and himself reshaped America - and ultimately led to his decision to withdraw from the political arena in which he fought so hard. THE FIRST CALL came on November 0, 0000. I was working as Special Assistant to Robert McNamara. My office at the Pentagon was directly across the hall from his. That morning The Washington Post and New York Times were on my desk, their headlines proclaiming Lyndon Johnson's landslide over Barry Goldwater, 00 to 00 percent. Moyers and Bundy were waiting in Moyers's office. They said the President (whose only previous contact with me was a handshake in August 0000)0 wanted me to take on two tasks: administration headhunter and White House expert on Latin American affairs. Moyers said my experience with McNamara gave me good lines to top talent, and Bundy thought work I had done on Cuba, Panama, and the Dominican Republic gave me a grounding in Latin America. I told them I would have to talk to McNamara. They urged me to wait until the President had spoken to him. I said I couldn't. "I'll have to talk to McNamara," I responded, excited but nervous and unsure about my boss's reaction. At the White House Moyers and Valenti said that my new job would be to prepare legislative programs, manage domestic crises, and act as a general-utility infielder on the domestic scene. When I got back to the Pentagon, McNamara told me to come right to his office. An hour later, McNamara called me in to tell me that he had convinced the President he should let me coordinate economic policy. "What a job!" I gasped. "It's not a job. With this President, it's not even a job description. It's an opportunity. You'll have to prove yourself to him to turn it into a job," McNamara said. I said I was planning to have dinner with a friend from Panama who was already on his way to the restaurant. I thought I'd best skip the White House dinner. Moyers understood. So went my first lesson: this President did not like people to say no to him. At dinner,0 Johnson listened intently as each academic spent a few minutes outlining the most serious problems and opportunities facing America and the President. Remarkably, at least in retrospect, the Vietnam War was scarcely mentioned. Everyone was confident we could solve our domestic problems. In only nineteen months after assuming the presidency, Johnson had made enormous progress on the Democratic party's progressive agenda. The President, with whom I had not yet spoken, introduced me as a member of his staff. On my way out, he said he expected to see me at the LBJ Ranch for the weekend. As I drove home, I thought about my only direct experience of Lyndon Johnson in action. On October 00, 0000, it was reported that Walter Jenkins, a long-time Johnson aide (as close to a White House chief-of-staff as the President ever tolerated), had been arrested a week earlier for making advances to a sixty-one-year-old man at the downtown Washington YMCA. The story broke less than three weeks before the presidential election and promised to fuel Goldwater's charges of corruption and improprieties in Johnson's past. Two military officers on my staff were still around, Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Haig and an Air Force lieutenant colonel. Rather than put a young Air Force officer in the impossible position of standing over a general in his own service, I sent Al Haig to monitor the Xeroxing. As soon as we had a copy, McNamara and I rushed to Moyers's White House office. As Bundy, McNamara, and I gathered around a speaker phone, Moyers called Valenti at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, where the President was speaking to the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner. Lady Bird Johnson was preparing a sympathetic statement supporting Walter Jenkins and his family.0 When the President got on the phone, he expressed his suspicion that Jenkins had been framed or set up by the Republicans. He asked McNamara to read him texts of Jenkins's Air Force Reserve fitness reports signed by the commanding officer of the Capitol Hill Air Force Reserve unit. One was more glowing than the next. Moyers and Bundy smiled. McNamara and I exchanged glances. The commanding officer who had signed Jenkins's glowing reports was Air Force Reserve Major General Barry Goldwater. I got up at 0 A.M. on Saturday, July 00, 0000, to shower, pack, dress, and drive to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington to catch a presidential Lear Jet. Valenti, his wife Mary Margaret, and speechwriter Richard Goodwin were also on board. We arrived at the ranch just after 0 A.M. Johnson met us at the airplane and sent us off to our rooms. Then Mrs. Johnson offered us scrambled eggs and spicy deer sausage. When I demurred, she said, "I suggest you eat something now, young fellow. You never know with Lyndon what time the next meal will be." After breakfast we changed into bathing suits and joined the President at the pool, where he was swimming. His secretary, Victoria (Vicky) McCammon, sat on the side with her feet in the water. "It would be an honor and a privilege," I called back. In the early afternoon, the President, with me next to him in the front seat, took his white Lincoln convertible, top down, for a drive around the ranch. Johnson had changed to dry trunks and a clean shirt, but I was still in my one pair of wet trunks and a knit shirt. It was incredibly hot; the dust clouds made it hard to breathe. But there was relief. As we drove around, we were followed by a car and a station wagon with Secret Service agents. The President drank Cutty Sark scotch and soda out of a large white plastic foam cup; I had a Coca-Cola. Periodically, Johnson would slow down, sometimes stop for a moment, and hold his left arm outside the car, shaking the cup and ice. A Secret Service agent would run up to the car, take the cup and go back to the station wagon. There another agent would refill it with ice, scotch, and soda as the first agent trotted behind the wagon. Then the first agent would run the refilled cup up to LBJ's outstretched arm and waiting hand, as the President's car moved slowly along. As he drove, the President would call his ranch foreman, Dale Malechek, on the car's Motorola radiophone. As we passed from one section of the ranch to another, Secret Servicemen would jump out of the car in front and rush to open gates so we could drive through without stopping. We stopped at LBJ's birthplace, a small two-room building with a tiny barn behind, drove back for a fast ride on the airstrip and again around the ranch, ending at the ranch house around 0 P.M. Shortly afterward, we boarded a helicopter for the Haywood Ranch, another of Johnson's properties, and Coca-Cola Cove at Lake LBJ, part of a chain of artificial lakes set in central Texas, thanks to the persistence of Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson. We lunched and spent the afternoon and early evening on a thirty-seven-foot yacht. From lake-front properties and in small motorboats, wire-service photographers constantly sought to take pictures. Secret Service agents in black speedboats tried to keep the photographers away. Johnson took care to drink out of an opaque plastic cup, usually below deck, whether it was filled with scotch or Fresca. We went ashore briefly at a house on the lake that the President called "Jack and Mary Margaret's," after the Valentis. As we walked through the house, the President stopped in a bright shaft of sunlight in the living room. He unbuckled his belt and twisted toward his right side as he lowered his pants and pushed down his undershorts, trying to look at his increasingly bare right buttock. "Something hurts back there," he said, now exploring the surface with his right hand. "Is that a boil?" he asked me as I stood to his right. Astonished, I looked - "peeked" would be a better word - and gulped, "Yes." "I'll have to get Dr. [presidential physician George] Burkley to look at it," the President said matter-of-factly as he tucked in his shirt, pulled up his pants, and buckled his belt. In the late afternoon, the President took me waterskiing. He drove his twenty-foot gold-colored speedboat up and down the lake and under a bridge with concrete supports about every ten yards. He drove faster and faster, zigging and zagging around the lake and between the concrete pillars. The faster he drove and twisted, the more I was determined to stay up. He threw me once. He was going so fast that I thought I'd split apart when I flew off the skis and hit the water. Determined to prove myself, I got back up and managed not to fall off again. The car splashed into the water. I started to get out. Just then the car leveled and I realized we were in an Amphicar. The President laughed. As we putted along the lake then (and throughout that evening), he teased me. "Vicky, did you see what Joe did? He didn't give a damn about his President. He just wanted to save his own skin and get out of the car." Then he'd roar. Around 0 P.M. we went to the Haywood ranch house for dinner. I was still in my wet bathing suit. The others, more experienced in LBJ's ways, had brought along a change of clothing. Near midnight we returned by chopper to the main ranch house, and the President asked me to come to his office. For half an hour, he handed me one paper after another, directing me to give them, along with his instructions, to various White House aides or cabinet members. When he finally retired, White House aide Jake Jacobsen gently took the papers from me and said he would carry out the President's instructions. I went to bed, almost twenty-four hours after I'd gotten up in Washington. Life at the ranch would always be unpredictable. We never knew when we would work or play. In the pool, on the boat, during a meal, the President might give us an order to do something or to get an agency or department head to take some action. Breakfast was always early and on our own, but lunch could be anywhere from one to four o'clock; it might be at the LBJ Ranch, on the boat, or at one of the Johnsons' other ranches. The President usually took a nap, which could last anywhere from thirty minutes to a couple of hours. Dinner might be at eight or midnight and its location was just as uncertain. On Sundays we had no idea whether we would return that evening or Monday morning, afternoon, or evening, and we often departed on less than an hour's notice. Mrs. Johnson displayed ceaseless patience in accommodating her husband's spur-of-the-moment style. That first Sunday, Johnson and I attended separate services, he at the First Christian Church in Johnson City and I at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Fredericksburg. Back at the ranch, Johnson held a press conference to name Major Hugh Robinson as his new Army aide. I had interviewed several black Army officers for the job only a month before and had recommended Robinson.0 He became the first black military aide to a U.S. President. We lunched at 0 P.M., the President napped until 0 P.M., and then decided to spend the night in Texas, so we spent the early evening driving around the LBJ and Lewis ranches. After dinner, the President took me on a walk to see his third cousin, Oreale Ruth Keele Bailey. Cousin Oreale lived in a small frame house on the LBJ Ranch. The President took care of her. She was about seventy-seven years old and suffered mild dementia and hearing loss. Outside the house, Johnson shouted to her and then went in and sat on her bed. He talked to her loudly, teased her gently, laughed with her, hugged her, and lifted her off her feet. Cousin Oreale loved it. Often I have felt the utter futility of words; never more than now when I would wish my boy and his bride the highest and truest happiness together. That I love you and that my fondest hopes are centered in you, I do not need to assure you, my own dear children. . . . Beyond "Congratulations, Congressman" what can I say to my dear son in this hour of triumphant success? . . . I love you; I believe in you, I expect great things of you. As a White House car took me home, I pondered the impossibility of preventing a leak. Thirty or more White House correspondents had seen me with the President on Lake LBJ, at his Sunday press conference, at his boyhood home, and in Johnson City. McNamara's advice was on the mark. It didn't take long in Lyndon Johnson's White House to realize that for the President a minute was well spent, an encounter enjoyable, a day good, an evening memorable, only if it contributed to his goals. He wanted that same intensity from his staff. They had to be reachable and under his control at all times. The telephone was Johnson's chosen instrument.I He installed direct lines to his top assistants from the Oval Office (both desk and coffee table) and his bedroom. This line was easily distinguishable from the clear buttons on our phone consoles not only by its red color, but by the letters POTUS (President of the United States) and by the fact that when the button lit up our phones emitted a constant single ring until they were answered. These POTUS lines easily earned the term "hot." If there was a slight delay in picking up, the President conveyed the impression that the phone hadn't been answered promptly enough. He was invariably annoyed if any of us were not at the other end to answer. Soon after I arrived at the White House, around eight o'clock one morning, Johnson called on my POTUS line. Down the hall from the Oval Office, my office had its own adjoining bathroom, which is where I was when he called. My secretary, Peggy Hoxie, picked up. "He's not here, Mr. President," she answered a little nervously. "Where the hell is he?" the President asked. "He's in the bathroom, Mr. President," Peggy responded. "Isn't there a phone in there?" Johnson asked incredulously. "No, Mr. President," she responded, just as incredulously. Within minutes, as I came out of the bathroom, Peggy was standing in my office, a little shaky, with two Army Signal Corps technicians from the White House Communications Agency. "The President wants a phone installed in your John immediately, sir," one of them said. I shrugged my shoulders, smiled, and surrendered. The phone, complete with POTUS line, was installed and functioning in less than an hour. On one Sunday morning the President called while I was at mass at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown. When I arrived home and got the message, I returned the call. After asking me if I had prayed for him (I had, but not as hard as I prayed for myself), the President told me I should never be out of telephone touch with the White House. I said I understood that, but it was only for an hour. Then he said, "The reason they have those Motorola radiophones in White House cars is so that I can get you at any time." From now on, he instructed me, when you go to church on Sunday, go in a White House car, and sit in the back of the church. Then, "if your President ever needs you," the driver can go in and quietly get you out so you can talk on the phone. So from then on, a White House limousine waited for me when I went to mass. The President, however, never called me out of church. The President's desire to control his staff extended to the way we dressed. He never hesitated to tell secretaries what colors or styles most became them, and sometimes he even selected dresses for them. On at least one occasion, he told Juanita Roberts, his senior secretary, that "all the girls in [her office] needed more hair spray."00 He loved selecting designer dresses for his daughters, Lynda and Luci, and for his wife. Mrs. Johnson looked at me and then at her husband, and said, "Maybe Joe likes his tie the other way, darling." With that, she had made it clear, nicely but quite firmly, that the President had overstepped. I learned fast that Johnson used every waking minute of every day. He'd start around 0:00 or 0, going through several newspapers, watching the morning television shows, reading overnight cables and the Congressional Record, with paper clips attached to passages that referred to his programs and to speeches he'd had us plant with members of Congress in support of his policies. He ate breakfast in bed, drinking several cups of tea and giving orders to one of his aides, in the early years Jack Valenti, then Jake Jacobsen or Marvin Watson, and in the last year, Larry Temple or Jim Jones. One of them would arrive each morning to be available from the moment the President awoke. He spent much of this early-morning time on the phone with cabinet officers, especially Secretary of State Dean Rusk and McNamara, and any others of us who were working on problems of the moment. After 0 A.M., other aides would gather at the President's bedside when they had matters of pressing importance. If Mrs. Johnson had not gotten out of the couple's big fourposter before aides began arriving, she would patiently lie there next to him, bed jacket on, covers modestly pulled up to her chin. Extraordinarily for a man with such a large ego and intense sense of mission, LBJ deeply loved his wife. He liked to have her close by and, always accommodating, she made herself appear as comfortable as she could, though we all sensed how awkward she must sometimes have felt. Eventually, Mrs. Johnson would say, "Now you boys look the other way," or "Now you gentlemen get out of here just for a minute," so that she could exit to the privacy of her dressing room next door. Johnson would continue working with one or two aides throughout his morning toilet. He'd get out of bed, disrobe, get into his high-pressure shower, bringing the aide into the bathroom outside the shower as he continued to discuss whatever was at hand. He would be talking as he emerged drying himself and continue, standing naked as he shaved, brushed his teeth with an electric toothbrush, and combed his hair. Each morning, he'd take a small plastic container filled with pills-, mostly for his heart (he'd suffered a massive heart attack in 0000), toss the contents into his mouth, and go on speaking with them still there, making his point before washing them down with water. Johnson worked in the Oval Office and presided at various White House ceremonies from late morning until lunch, which could be anywhere from 0 P.M. to late afternoon. After lunch, he would take a nap, usually lasting about forty-five minutes to an hour, for which he would undress and put on fresh pajamas. "The only way to relax is to peel off all your clothes and make believe you're going to bed for the evening," he told me. He'd awake from his nap refreshed. Sometimes he would call to ask, "What's going on? Who'd you have lunch with? What're you doing?" Or to see if I had done what he'd asked earlier that day, or to issue new instructions. Then he'd shower and return to the White House offices, where he worked until late in the evening. Dinner, frequently shared by the aides he was working with when he got hungry, could be anywhere from 0:00 until after midnight. Dinner would of course be earlier if there was a White House social event, which he sometimes turned into a working session.00 At a stag affair for top executives of Fortune 000 companies, with a sprinkling of celebrities, including actors Gregory Peck and Hugh O'Brian (TV's Wyatt Earp), Treasury Secretary Henry (Joe) Fowler explained the President's "speaker-writer" exercise to the guests. A basket with slips of paper would be passed around each table. Each guest was to draw a slip; one would be marked "Speaker," the others would be marked "Writer." The President would call on each table's "speaker," who was to rise and tell LBJ what was on his mind. The others at the table were to write the President later. Johnson promised to read all the letters (and he did). After dinner, the President called on the speaker from each table. Some urged action on the economy, others supported the President on Vietnam, others offered help with education or the unemployed. When each had finished, the President led the applause. Shortly after midnight, the President took Peck, O'Brian, and me up to his bedroom. We were served drinks, then the President stripped naked for his evening massage. As he lay on his massage table, he read memos from his night readingII aloud, talked, and joked, sometimes raucously, in high spirits. At 0 A.M. Lady Bird appeared in her nightgown. Seeing us there, she started to back out, but Johnson waved her in to "Say hello" to Peck and O'Brian, which she did with remarkable grace, and then left. As he became drowsy from the late hour and the massage, Johnson finally motioned us out and called Lady Bird in.00 He relished his wife's pillow talk and was lonely when she was not there during the night. I. The sculptor Jimilou Mason had such a hard time getting Johnson to stay off the phone and sit still that she finally did a piece of the President running, holding the base of a phone in one hand and the receiver up to his ear in the other. II. Each night, Johnson would have on his bed night reading often exceeding one hundred pages, neatly wrapped in big folders usually tied with ribbon. The night reading included messages to Congress and speeches to edit, and scores of memos from aides with decisions to be made by checking lines (Approve - , Disapprove - ") or writing, "See me," "Call me," or some question, order, or epithet. He insisted that each memo bear the time as well as the date of writing. Because he went through his night reading with highly sharpened soft lead pencils, we could measure the level of his anger or impatience by the number of broken points apparent on any notes he sent back. Over the years I worked in the White House all but a handful of the hundreds of memos I sent him for night reading were acted on and returned to me the following morning. "Taking on a character like LBJ was as daunting asone might imagine. This book helped me shape the role in a way that onlysomeone who actually knew the 00th president could. The book containsinsightful and honest details of this larger-than-life character, and allowedme to see the greatness of his impassioned hope, and the minutia of histroubled soul. He was indeed a Triumph and a Tragedy. Thank you Joe, forbringing him to life for me and millions of others." "Just watching Johnson wheel and deal through Califano's eyes makes a rousing good story. Johnson's successors in the White House must still salivate at the kind of arm-twisting, ball-busting tactics that permitted the President to sweep through his legislative package." "Joe Califano...had a ringside seat for LBJ's amazing success and dizzying descent. His highly entertaining and thoughtful memoir is the best description of the inner workings of the Johnson White House I have ever read and LBJ--inspiring, terrifying, funny and tragic--comes alive in a way no other writer has managed."

Facebook Advertising is tricky, frustrating, confusing, and yet can be incredibly rewarding and even surprise you. I will be the first one to tell you that there are moments when I want to call Facebook Ad techs and give them a piece of my mind, but there are those days when I email clients with the greatest numbers you've ever seen. Fortunately, our campaigns are leaning more towards the latter. Last week I published an article titled A Guide to the Perfect Facebook Post: High CTR, Low CPC with three important elements to the perfect Facebook Advertisement. Well, I have new numbers for you today, new problems to discuss, and some new tips and advice to offer. Successful Campaigns - What Did They Have in Common? At Linwright Design, many of our clients are Gilbert small businesses with limited advertising budgets. In fact, most Facebook Ad budgets don't run over $000. So, it's important to be able to translate those ad dollars into actual clicks and do whatever we can to increase a client's ROI. I mean, as a small business owner myself I can absolutely understand the importance of making every single penny count, and when you can get advertising down to below the industry standard of $0.00 per click, you have less to stress about. 0. Get to the Point - In Facebook Ads that generate the highest click through rate at the lowest cost, the ad text is right to the point. It doesn't leave the audience guessing at what you meant, it doesn't beat around the bush. Text in your ad needs to be right on target and straight to the point. If you want them to Like your page, simply ask. If you want to sell a point, get right to it. Case Study #0 - Three clinically proven steps to reduce blood pressure - diet, exercise, arginine. This was the text used in an ad campaign that ran at $0.00 per click and had a 0.00% click through rate. Case Study #0 - If you have a measuring tape & calculator, you know your cost before we even come out! This ran in an Ad that resulted in a 0.0% click through rate at $0.00 per click. Case Study #0 - No knives. No suction hoses. No scars. Stubborn baby belly? Try CoolSculpting! This ran with an ad that resulted in a 0.0% click through rate at just $0.00 per click. 0. Let the Image Draw Them In - Many social media ad experts will tell you to use images with people, smiling faces, individuals that the audience can connect to. While these are great ideas, the reality is that you have to absolutely know your audience in order to know what kind of image will appeal to them. My best advice, run three separate images under one campaign. After just one day you'll know what images work and which ones don't. Stop the ads that are underperforming. Case Study #0 - Since this ad was targeting individuals with hypertension and heart problems who were seeking out natural solutions, we chose a photo of some fresh food and veggies. Case Study #0 - In this ad, we simply utilized our most popular and clean photo from the client's kitchen renovation portfolio. It appealed to exactly who we were targeting, local Gilbert residents looking for a kitchen renovation. Case Study #0 - And, of course, when promoting a weight loss item the audience wants to see actual results, so we provided a before and after photo. 0. Segment, Segment, Segment - I really can't stress enough how important it is to target your audience. Segment that audience down to the smallest increments. For example, in Case Study #0, we ran an ad that only targeted 00,000 Facebook users, and yet the client ended up with two huge leads, which could potentially result in thousand-dollar kitchen renovations. Your audience doesn't have to be huge, especially if you're a Gilbert small business, but it does have to be targeted. Consider every single thing that your target audience is interested in, from magazines to tv shows, stores they shop at and music they listen to. Target only your service area as well. In the last three Facebook ads we've run for clients at Linwright Design, we have achieved numbers that literally blow industry standards for CTR and CPC out of the water. I mean, essentially anything over 0% is unheard of. The highest average click-through rate by industry is in the telecom industry, which receives a 0.00% CTR, but that comes with a very high cost per click of $0.00.
