There are so many things that a person has to deal with when going through a divorce. In my case, I experienced hurt, abandonment, anger, confusion, hate, denial, guilt, and so much more. It seems the list can go on and on. Nevertheless, I was going through so many emotions all at once I was often confused about what I was feeling at any given time.
One day I realized that I was turning many of these emotions inward instead of dealing with them head-on and working through the cards I had been dealt during this moment in my life. I was becoming bitter! My bitterness was feeding my self-pity and hatred, and for a time I felt justified to feel that way. Just like with sin, it feels good for a season until you realize the damage you are doing.
The more bitterness I felt, the farther I was from the man I wanted to be. I felt lost from God and my friends. Nobody wanted to be around me and hear the same crap over and over again about poor me. I realized that I was spending too much of my time blaming her and looking at what she had done and not enough time examining myself.
The point is; I was bitter about the divorce, and I used that bitterness to blame her for the marriage ending when in reality I played a significant role. I was not perfect, and I made plenty of mistakes. Whether I believed that divorce was right or not was irrelevant because it was, in fact, the situation. The bitterness was consuming my soul and turning me into a person that I did not want to be. No matter what the situation you’re experiencing, don’t get caught up in being bitter. Things such as anger, hurt, guilt, confusion, denial, etc. are all god given emotions and can be dealt with in a healthy manner but bitterness destroys!
Over time I saw that my thoughts controlled my feelings. If I were to think negatively, then I felt bad feelings. With practice, I was able to control my thoughts and feelings, and the bitterness was soon no more. I used this in other areas of my life when I would find myself struggling with loneliness, anger, or pity. I could and did change the way I felt. I discovered a huge storeroom of wonderful thoughts and experiences in my mind that if I were to think about, I could feel good.
I am not saying that I was able to live life as if everything was always so wonderful and perfect. I often felt unpleasant feelings, but I did not let them control me nor consume me. I acknowledged them, and I chose to deal with them healthily and move on. I hope you find this information helpful, don’t let bitterness ruin your life and the lives of those around you. God has much in store for you and bitterness just stands in the way.

Tata Toyo has selected DuPont™ Zytel® PLUS nylon for three hot- and cold-side charge air coolers on turbo-diesel engines powering four passenger, utility and light commercial vehicle models produced by a major Indian auto OEM.
Zytel® was chosen for easy processing and added resistance to heat, chemicals and pressure, in replacement of a specialty nylon resin product. Tata Toyo, a leading heat-exchange technology supplier based in Pune, India, is now looking to replace metals with Zytel® in other applications.
"Improving powertrain efficiency while reducing weight and cost is critical to improving fuel economy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels," said Patrick Ferronato, director of automotive, DuPont Performance Polymers. "Turbo systems are one of several technologies the industry is quickly adopting to boost the performance of smaller, more efficient engines. The environment these power-boost technologies create is challenging the capabilities of many existing engineering thermoplastics."
Last year DuPont introduced the Zytel® PLUS family of high-performance nylon and PPA materials that deliver long-term resistance to heat, chemicals and pressure. Unlike specialty nylon resins, Zytel® PLUS retains processing ease typical of traditional nylon resins. This family is targeted primarily at automotive underhood and engine applications.
Zytel® PLUS nylon was selected to replace the specialty nylon because it retains rigidity at high temperatures, offers a better surface appearance and processes with ease. "We enjoy a long-term relationship with Tata Toyo," said Avinash Malshe, industry manager, DuPont Performance Polymers Automotive – India. "When we introduced them to the new materials, they quickly saw the chance to think about where they can use them to deliver better performance and cost. While collaborating, we found more opportunities to capture significant weight savings by replacing metal components and systems."
Collaborating is critical to fast adoption of new technologies that reduce dependence on fossil fuels. DuPont has invested in several new collaboration facilities, including the India Innovation Center in Pune, India. The facility is focused primarily on the automotive segment with a goal of connecting globally on materials and solutions that improve sustainability, performance, safety, comfort and design, while reducing weight and enabling alternative-drive vehicle systems.
Last year DuPont launched more than 1,700 new products and invested 22 percent of its $1.7 billion R&D budget on developing new chemistry and materials to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
DuPont offers more than 100 materials and product families for the global automotive industry. Through its global application development network, DuPont Automotive is committed to collaborating with customers throughout the value chain to develop new products, materials, components and systems that help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and protect people and the environment.

Mirror, Mirror, Who Is the Unfairest?
ROOTING out conflicts of interest on Wall Street has become a full-time job for securities regulators in recent years. Thankfully, some long-needed changes have been made to research and sales practices at brokerage firms, banks and mutual fund companies.
But one conflict lives brazenly on, safe from even the most assiduous reform efforts. That enduring unfairness is related to, of all things, the fairness opinion.
Fairness opinions are produced by Wall Street banks and are intended to assure the directors of companies involved in a merger, acquisition or other deal that its terms are fair to shareholders.
But the opinions can be problematic. That's because the bank affirming the fairness of the transaction is often the same one that proposed the deal -- and that stands to reap millions in fees if it goes through. When J.P. Morgan Chase paid $58 billion to acquire Bank One last July, the fairness opinion was supplied by -- who else? -- J.P. Morgan Chase.
However laughable they may be, fairness opinions continue to be used to justify transactions and to provide legal cover for directors fearful of being sued if a deal goes bad.
At least some regulators are beginning to awaken to the conflicts that fairness opinions pose. The NASD has asked its members and the public for comments on the practices surrounding the opinions and may propose new rules related to their use.
In Massachusetts, William F. Galvin, the secretary of the commonwealth, is investigating the fairness opinions supplied by Goldman Sachs and UBS, the two investment banks advising Gillette, which is the subject of a $57 billion offer from Procter & Gamble. Merrill Lynch provided the fairness opinion to Procter.
Mr. Galvin said he had subpoenaed documents relating to these fairness opinions out of concern that the deal might not be, well, fair to Gillette shareholders. "For us here in Massachusetts, this is a very big deal because many of the shareholders are residents," he said. "The fairness of the valuation is at issue. In the proxy statement, Goldman was credited with bringing the deal together. When one of the fairness opinion providers brought the deal together, how objective could their opinion be?"
A spokesman for Goldman Sachs declined to comment. UBS's spokesman said, "We are confident in the advisory services provided to our client."
As a part of his investigation, Mr. Galvin asked Rajesh K. Aggarwal, a professor at the University of Virginia who specializes in corporate governance and executive pay, to analyze the fairness opinions.
Professor Aggarwal wrote in his study that the opinions were reasonable and valid but that there were "substantial discrepancies" between the public and private statements the companies have made estimating the merger's value.
For example, the companies' public projections on the revenue and cost "synergies" they expected to achieve as a result of the merger were about $14 billion to $16 billion. But internal company documents, Professor Aggarwal said, put the estimates at $22.1 billion to $28.1 billion.
In addition, he said, there seemed to be errors in the way the merger's value synergies were calculated -- mistakes that underestimate the value of the deal. He concluded that by underestimating the value of the synergies, the deal would be more beneficial to Procter & Gamble shareholders than to Gillette's owners.
Eric Kraus, a Gillette spokesman, said the company had no comment on Professor Aggarwal's analysis. "Virtually no financial expert thinks the deal is anything but excellent for Gillette shareholders," Mr. Kraus said, adding that Gillette was cooperating with Mr. Galvin's inquiry.
Procter & Gamble said it believed that the opinion provided by Merrill Lynch was fair.
Shareholders of both companies will have the last word. They are scheduled to vote on the merger in June.
Speaking generally, Professor Aggarwal said: "There's a sense that whatever the two parties agree to must be fair. But management has no interest whatsoever in having independent third parties looking at the details of any transactions, and boards historically weren't going to question the judgment of management. So the issue here is the one party that doesn't participate in the negotiations -- the shareholders."
But shining the spotlight on fairness opinions, as Mr. Galvin has done, is indeed a public service.
And surely, in a time when corporate directors are being held increasingly accountable for their actions, they ought to be concerned about the conflicts that make many fairness opinions so dubious.
"I think we're going to see more boards hiring independent parties to evaluate transactions, to evaluate the performance of management and to evaluate compensation contracts," Professor Aggarwal said. "I think that if one of the high-profile deals that are in process now were to blow up because it looked like the board didn't do enough investigation on behalf of shareholders, you would absolutely see a lot more use of third parties to make sure the deal is good for shareholders."
When it comes to hiring firms that can conduct truly independent reviews of deals, directors have had few choices.
But a new firm, set up by two experienced Wall Street bankers, hopes to change that.
The firm, Pirie, Goldsmith & Associates of New York, offers independent fairness opinions on mergers and acquisitions, as well as on asset sales, executive compensation and other issues, said Robert S. Pirie, a former partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and, from 1987 to 1992, the chairman of Rothschild Inc., an investment firm. "To be able to look the lawyers in the eye and say, 'We hired someone who had nothing to do with the deal, who looked at it and said in their opinion it's fair,' if I were a director I'd be very happy to have that," Mr. Pirie said.
Gerald Goldsmith, a former top executive at Rothschild, is the firm's other founder; its advisory board members are Paul W. MacAvoy, professor of economics at Yale, and Peter Scanlon, former chairman of Coopers & Lybrand.
While the established Wall Street firms may snicker at the creation of such a firm, Paul A. Volcker, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, applauded the idea of an organization devoted to the issuance of unbiased fairness opinions. "If there was ever going to be a market for this kind of thing it will be now," he said. "It strikes me that it would be very valuable. A lot of mergers are promoted for the benefit of those involved."
And all too often, shareholders are the last on that list.

U.S. Solid's Pure Nickel Strips consist of 99.6% Nickel, which make the ideal for spot welding and building battery packs. Battery packs consist of many Lithium-ion cells that are assembled into a pack. Lithium-ion cells are made in various sizes, often assembled into packs for portable equipment. Many battery packs also include an internal protection circuit to prevent over-discharge and short-circuit damage. This can increase their physical length of the Lithium-ion battery pack. For example, an 18650 is around 65 mm (2.6 in) in length, but can be up to 68 mm (2.7 in) long if an internal protection circuit is added. To recharge these cells in a safe and economic fashion, the use of a charger specified for these cells is required.

Husband and I spent at weekend at the Dublin Irish Festival. We saw the sights, we ate some pretty good haggis (yes, it’s a Scottish food, but we Celts in America sometimes have to have Scottish stuff at our Irish events because we don’t have access to 100% Irish entertainment or food vendors all the time like they do in say, Ireland), listened to great bands such as The Tartan Terrors (friends of ours from our Renaissance Festival days), Gaelic Storm (you might recognize them as the steerage band in that tiny film about a boat that sank), and spent quite a bit of time at the Celtic rock stage listening to The Prodigals, and yes, Bad Haggis.
After that I got the itch to make something creative and yes, a little bit rock and roll. Even, dare I say, a little punk rock? I decided to dig out my very first pair of Doctor Martian boots and make a flower planter out of them.
First I made a self watering planter from a plastic water bottle Husband got after running a road race and a bit of leftover t-shirt material.
The original laces from my boots were long gone. I think I cannibalized them as laces for one of my many Elizabethan bodices. No worries! I used a pair of pink shoe laces that I got from a past Race For The Cure to lace the bottle planter snugly into each boot.
I planted some free wildflower seeds that I got from an Earth Day event into each boot. I watered and waited and watered and waited.
My apologies for the photo quality. I had to use my PDA.
Ta da! My boots are now a punk rock planter.
I have to say that look would be hard to pull off in most homes, but would be really cute out side the door to a funky gift shop, art gallery, cafe or shoe store!
Thanks Green Me. It's just one part of my whole Scare The Neighbors iniative. :) Do you think it's working?
Actually I've seen this look using work boots in country homes. Since I'm far from being a Country Girl, I figured Punk girls plant flowers in their old Docs.
What a great way to memorialize your old Docs. You should post an ad on Craigslist offering your "Doc Marten Planter" services. Seriously!
Thanks for joining us for Thrifty Green Thursday!
How cool is that! I wish I knew where my first pair of doc martins were!
I have some old wooden clogs I got in Holland that I've always wanted to turn into a planter.
Ha! That is really cool!
Awesome! So creative and clever!
They're so cool! I wish I had my old Docs, but they conked out on me years ago. I wouldn't care how they looked outside. The quirkier the better at my house.
Brilliant idea! I've seen boot birdhouses and boot planters, but it's never occurred to me to make them myself--until now! Thanks for making recycling look so very hip--and for joining us on this Thrifty Green Thursday.
That is really neat idea, good job on that.
Penny, you can totally do this with your wooden clogs. I tricked out a pair of old Doc Martin Gibsons using the same method!
I just followed your link from over at the Carnival of Trash about those Doc Martin boots. I love the boots and the pink laces are so cool looking. What a wonderful way to recycle those old Docs!
My sister has some work boots that she's made into a planter. It's a great look. I really like your Doc's version.
Thanks sharing your punk friendly planter, saw your answer above, with us at A Crafty Soiree! I know many a friend who could make their very own, including me! Mine aren't quite as well loved, but getting there! I hope to see you next week too!

With the hashtag #whiskeymademedoit, restaurateurs Sam and Patricia Vlahos recently opened Pierce Tavern at 5135 Main St., in Downers Grove (630 869-5333). The eatery is billed as a neighborhood hideout and promises the best in bourbon, beer and burgers.
Named in honor of the town’s founder, Pierce Downer — just as sister-restaurant Fuller House in Hinsdale pays homage to Ben Fuller — the tavern prides itself on food made “the way Pierce would have wanted.” That means always-fresh ingredients and many comfort-food favorites. The rotating daily soup menu, for instance, includes a wood-fired French onion crock; the brisket grilled cheese comes with a bourbon barbeque dip; and burger lovers can opt for a side of hand-cut fries topped with buffalo sauce and crumbled blue cheese.
Of course, the wood-fired oven is also put to good use in preparing pizzas — everything from a must-have margherita to the imaginative Sunny Side Up 13, with egg, nueske bacon, scallions, black pepper, mozzarella, provolone, garlic and evoo (an olive oil dressing).
Laying claim to Downers Grove’s history as a farm settlement, Pierce Tavern is located in a newly renovated 1890s-era building that once housed the town’s bank, post office and library. And the Vlahos brother-sister duo are determined that their friendly neighborhood pub will continue to be at the heart of this western suburb.

The plant prefers bright to medium light and high humidity due to its normal habit of growing in tropical rain forests. It will grow in almost full sunlight once acclimated, but for best growth give it a bit of subdued light.
Sunlight: Provide bright filtered light in spring, summer and autumn. During the winter the brightest possible light, including direct sunlight is best.
Fertilizer: Give actively growing Dieffenbachia seguine a liquid fertiliser about every two weeks. Do not fertilise in the winter.

Halloween is the best time of year to do experiments! There are so many to try but Scientista rounded up some top favorites, which make great decorations too!
Health insurance: we buy it, but we always hope that we never have to use it. Not having health insurance can lead to a variety of complications, both medical and financial. Since the Affordable Care Act began mandating health insurance for most Americans who can afford it, people who do not buy health insurance will have to pay a penalty of $95 (or 1% of annual income – whichever is greater). Furthermore, without health insurance, annual check-ups are not covered and as a result, certain conditions may go undetected.
What's Really in Our Swimming Pools?
Swimming pools are a favourite place amongst young and old, during summer and winter alike. We all know that they are full of water, but what else is in there?
Swimming pools are actually a soup of water, bleach, human shedding and cosmetics, bacteria, and viruses and fungi. Sounds gross, right?!

EOS and Etihad Airways Engineering have agreed a strategic partnership to expand local capabilities for industrial 3D printing in aviation.
The partnership, agreed at the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix recently, will enable Etihad Airways Engineering to produce aircraft parts at its facility in Abu Dhabi. Visitors to the race were able to view a full-scale, 3D-printed front wing of a Formula 1 car.
The initial phase of the collaboration, which uses EOS technology with an EOS system for additive manufacturing (AM), will include the qualification of machine, process and materials in accordance with aviation regulations.
Following a structured selection process, suitable cabin interior parts will be produced through the AM process.
“The technology is a key enabler when it comes to design and innovation in our industry. Etihad is proud to work towards a vision of a 3D-printed cabin interior."
Markus Glasser, Senior Vice President Export Region at EOS added: “Etihad is providing industry-leading aircraft maintenance and engineering solutions. As such we share the same mindset as both of our companies are committed to high quality solutions and constant technology innovation. We are honored to support our partner on this innovation journey, as such bringing the production of aircraft interior parts to the next level."
After the initial steps have been completed, Etihad Airways Engineering will certify the AM process, further develop additive manufacturing capabilities based on this technology and jointly with EOS develop, test and qualify new polymer materials.
In the long term, Etihad plans to roll-out AM among their customers and within their broader ecosystem.

We are proud to announce that Dr. Mark Gooding, Chief Scientist at Mirada Medical Ltd, has won the award for “Best Physics Poster” at ESTRO 37 in Barcelona, the annual conference of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology.
Dr. Gooding presented on behalf of Mirada’s science team, who had adapted a well-known test of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Turing Test, to the assessment of clinical contouring in radiotherapy. Radiation Therapy professionals from a number of treatment centers were asked whether they thought a contour was human or machine-drawn, and were frequently unable to correctly identify the source, thereby verifying that the contours produced by AI were of clinically acceptable quality.
Posters were evaluated first on the scientific value of the data and then on the clarity of presentation along with its visual quality. Dr. Gooding took the top prize by presenting the evaluation of AI in autocontouring in an understandable and accessible manner, and demonstrated why Mirada’s DLCExpert™ is a breakthrough technology.

Here’s a quick look at how to change the Event Calendar from the Windows 10 Anniversary Update Taskbar.
The Windows 10 Anniversary Update is more than just a fit and finish release of Microsoft’s client operating system; there are some welcome productivity boosters littered throughout the OS. One such improvement is the ability to add and manage calendar events from the Windows 10 desktop. Let’s take quick look.
Click the Date and Time in your Taskbar Notification Area; this will display your calendar. At the bottom, you will see a new option to add events. Click the plus sign to add a new event; this will launch the calendar app. Enter your event details then click Done.
Your calendar events for the day will show up in the Notification Area. Events are color coded, so you can know which calendar the event belongs to. If you want to hide events, you can click the Show/Hide Agenda link in the Calendar.
Notifications are also provided when an event is approaching. Events are also integrated into the Windows 10 Action Center; you can modify notifications on the fly which include set to snooze, dismiss or delete.
There are minor limitations to using calendar events. I notice events were restricted to just the desktop itself. I was expecting to at least receive a notification on my mobile device or an email message in Outlook.com. There is also no option to modify events from the Notification Area itself. So, there is room for improvement, but I am glad to see integration like this happening.
The addition of calendar events is quite basic, but it gives users more intimate and quicker access to managing their daily activities. Other areas of the desktop such as the Taskbar, include improvements in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. Be sure to check out our articles about how to utilize these and many other improvements in Windows 10. Have you upgraded to Windows 10 Anniversary Update yet, if so; what are your favorite features so far? Let us know in the comments.
Can’t wait to upgrade to W10 AU! Just waiting on the SSD freeze issue to be fixed.

Avegant is attempting to generate the Glyph a concept of A non-public next-display screen that combine audio. If you’re able to Show a little something on a standard display screen, you ought to be ready to watch the material around the Glyph without trouble.
it has made the Glyph a concept of a private 2nd-display that combine audio. If you’re able to Show anything on a conventional display screen, try to be able to see the information on the Glyph with no problem.
The Glyph technological innovation is different than others. A traditional display screen has particular person pixels, and within just that pixel there’s three diverse colors (RGB), but these three are only consultant of close to 30% of all the Area of that pixel.
To generate the photographs observed with the Glyph, the headset will take gentle from a minimal-powered LED inside the system and beams it through a set of optics. That gentle is then mirrored off of two million small mirrors in advance of it reaches the viewer’s eyes. This process of getting mild bounce off an item and mirror into our eyes more closely mimics the way in which we essentially see objects in serious lifetime, Avegant suggests.
Avegant Founded 2012 Overview Avegant is pioneering another generation of close to-eye shows. Its core, patented, technological innovation usually takes benefit of micromirror arrays to develop ultra-vivid, pixel-totally free photos for apps that range between cell media use to Digital and augmented truth.
By using a $500 goal price tag, In addition, it manages to be not Substantially costlier than most decent headphones, which is a huge advantage in providing to people who should be Uncertain with regard to the utility of head-mounted displays. Body weight is about even with a few significant cans, also, astonishingly.
Many years within your elders telling you not to sit way too carefully for the Television set may make you skeptical about fundamentally sporting a television in your experience. But Avegant states the Glyph’s know-how is simple about the eyes. Whilst contemporary televisions and smartphones use LED screens to Display screen photos, the Glyph takes advantage of mirrors to get the job performed.
A TV display screen quite a lot of toes faraway from me generally seems fuzzy without the need of my glasses, but I had been in the position to make use of the Glyph conveniently with no donning my contacts.
The Glyph technology differs than Other folks. A traditional display screen has individual pixels, and within that pixel there’s 3 different hues (RGB), but these three are only representative of all over 30% of the entire Area of that pixel.
Avegant also investigating how the Glyph can operate Along with the increase of the drone tradition. Seemingly a great deal of consumers are switching more than to 1st-man or woman watch headsets.
Overall, the Glyph reminds us many the sort of head-mounted Television set goggles produced by providers like Sony and Other individuals while in the 90s, but it surely incorporates a kind issue and Display screen tech (which utilizes mirrors and no screens) that make it one of a kind.

Mother, lover, professional, politician, teacher, bride, widow, queen and maid…All glorified and unified by their gender. Women are nurturing and powerful in the eyes of Sandra Mack-Valencia. Like most artists, Mack-Valencia's works are influenced by her personal history. Sandra was raised in Medellin, Colombia in an environment where female authority is respected, and where women are considered the core of the family and society.
Through “Ordinary Queens” the artist makes a bold statement where everyday women are elevated to royal status to highlight the driving force of their presence in the world. Sandra’s women are often depicted in extravagant costumes of royal lineage and fantastical dresses that are both heavy and powerful. These investitures transfer a feeling of strength to the female characters who wear them, and also give the artist the possibility of losing herself in endless patterns and whimsical designs that meet her aesthetic needs. Mack-Valencia uses beauty as a bait to engage the viewers, and then lure them into a further reading of the work, which is filled with twists and edgy clues.
Mack-Valencia's Ordinary Queens not only bring aesthetic pleasure, but they offer a means for critical engagement. In the end, this body of work allows the artist to meet one of her main purposes: To offer visual bridges to bring us together.
Sandra Mack-Valencia’s work has been exhibited in museums, galleries and institutions in Colombia, Japan, Paris, and the United States. She is a recipient of the Nathalie Angles Award, the Sommerville Arts Prize, and was nominated for the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant. Her work was selected as part of the (S) Files Biennial at El Museo del Barrio in New York. Sandra was chosen as one of the Outstanding Antioqueños in the World, and her art practice was featured in a documentary that aired at her native city.

The day has finally come where Twitter users can express their dissatisfaction with the 140 character limit in more detail, since Twitter has officially verified that they have doubled the character limit to 280 per Tweet!
The social networking platform, which was launched in 2006, grew aggressively to become one of the most stylish social media sites worldwide, however recent drops in growth stimulated the social media giant to make some improvements. Twitter differentiates itself from other social media networks with its ‘microblogging’ feature, which is vastly different to comparable social media platforms like Facebook and Google Plus. Twitter has just over 330 million users that send roughly 6,000 Tweets per second.
Despite the 140 character limit that truly defined the social networking site, Twitter stated on November 7 that they want every user all over the world to ‘easily’ express themselves on Twitter. After administering a number of tests over the past couple of months, Twitter decided that they wanted to raise the character limit, but only where required. Countries like China, Japan, and South Korea will stay at the 140 character limit, only because there’s no necessity for an increase, as sending messages in these languages can be shared in a short amount of characters. Languages like English however, encounter choked Tweets with 9% of English Tweets hitting the earlier 140 character limit.
After carrying out an array of tests to specific users, Twitter obtained valuable results and deemed the 240 character limit would be advantageous for most users. Given that 9% of English users were hitting the 140 character limit, many would need to spend time editing their Tweets to ensure they didn’t have to send several messages. Plus, users would now have the ability to conveniently fit their thoughts into a single Tweet, so they could say what was on their mind and send them much faster than before.
The question is, what effect will this have for digital marketers and SEO specialists? Here are a few alterations that they can expect to see.
Since Twitter broadened the character limit, users have encountered a higher level of responses which generated more followers. Clearly, this has been a step in the right direction, as there has been a reported higher satisfaction rate from content producers together with more Likes, Retweets, and Mentions.
The increased character limit means that users will have reduced threads of conversations, considering that they can fit more information into a single message. Users with long threads of conversations stated that it can often be problematic to follow and respond to. In addition, brands are enjoying the longer Tweets as it allows them to fit more detailed information into a single Tweet which generates higher engagement rates.
With the rise of enterprises using social media as a platform to handle customer service matters, customers can now articulate an issue in more detail on Twitter which is advantageous for both the customer and the business, as communication is significantly enhanced. Prior to this update, many users would have relied on other social netowrks like Facebook to report customer service issues considering that the character limit was too restraining.
Longer Tweets means that enterprises can enrich the creativity of their communication with their audience through storytelling, Q&A’s, and more engaging Twitter Chats. Businesses would generally have to use other social media networks if they planned to get creative, however brands can now effectively use longer text to their advantage by interacting with their audience on a more personal level.
Although some users have argued that the increase in character limit by Twitter makes them more comparable to other social media sites, the clear majority of users seem to be very satisfied with their latest update. Nothing is concrete in social media, as making changes to keep up with changing user behaviour is vital for survival. For the time being though, both users and marketing specialists appear to have emerged the winner!

Repeatedly paying for repairs for your toilets is going to cost you more in the long run than simply having old toilets replaced.
If your toilets are constantly malfunctioning, you can avoid frequently having your toilets out of service and having to pay for repairs by simply replacing them.
Don't assume that a slight leak in a toilet is ok because you can wipe it up. Leaks onto your restroom floor could be indicative of deeper problems such as leaks within your walls that could lead to water damage at your facilities.
Repair toilet leaks, and if you are not able to repair them, it's time to replace your toilet to prevent water damage from creating issues at your facility.
Over time, a toilet may become weaker and weaker as it flushes so that it starts to clog more often. Clogs can cause your toilets to overflow and leak water all over your restroom facilities. This increases the chances that water damage issues will occur.
Replace toilets that keep clogging to make things more convenient and save money on plumbing services.
If you have older toilets that don't offer any efficiency features, you may want to replace them with low flow toilets. Low flow toilets will consume less water and therefore allow you to cut back on your utility costs. This can improve the bottom line of your commercial operation.
A wobbly toilet makes it difficult for customers and staff members alike to use your restroom facilities. While unsteady toilets can sometimes be repaired by simply tightening their screws, it is sometimes impossible to remedy unsteady toilets without having them entirely replaced.
Even if your toilets continue to function normally, it's important to remember that their appearance is going to make a big impression on customers and others who visit your facilities.
If your toilets look flawed or if they are so severely stained that they cannot be completely cleaned, you should probably invest in replacing them to improve the appearances of your restrooms. Contact a company like PSL Plumbing for more information and assistance.

A quick post on some data views I found interesting after linking my personal hydro one data to Ontario's system operator (IESO) data for Ontario's electricity sector. My data has the average daily temperature (in Penetanguishene), so this post will look at the impact of temperature on the electricity sector.
Most will recognize that heating, and cooling, are drivers of electricity consumption. In Ontario, heat more than cold drives electricity demand - thus Ontario is a summer peaking jurisdiction for electricity.
But not for energy: natural gas consumption in Ontario is far more variant, increasing roughly 300% in the coldest periods.
Getting the expected demand pattern, let's move to price.
While price does have the same basic shape, the price at the extremes increases much more sharply, although not nearly sharply enough to justify merchant plant initiatives to fill peaking functions (many jurisdiction have a maximum price of $1000/MWh in their market design, and regions trying to maintain a market not driven by power purchase agreements, such as Texas, are looking at ceilings far higher than that).
The conversation on exports usually deals with Ontario's large baseload supply often exceeding it's demand (or load - thus "surplus baseload generation). There's justification for this concern, and certainly 2013 looks to have highest exports at the most moderate temperatures. However, looking at the average (poorly labelled "Grand Total" in the graph), Ontario exports almost decline linearly from coldest to warmest temperature.
This is a reminder that the availability of export customers is a second driver of export.
With the coal shutdown looming in Ontario, it will be interesting to see the impact of being unable to export during cold days on Ontario's ability to export during moderate weather. If, as seem likely, it requires export markets to develop new supply, it will reduce export opportunities.
Industrial wind turbines drop off in productivity as the temperature rises - but there may be an increased chance of performance during extreme heat, and there may also be an increased chance of poor performance during extreme cold.
However, in working with peak winter and summer demand hours, I've found that wind will have low productivity (below 10% of capacity) approximately 40% of peak summer demand hours, but also during approximately 20% of peak winter hours.
Lastly, a look at hydroelectric output by temperature.
The lesson here is that hydro output is fickle - particularly during the warmer months of the year.
I'd suggest the worst complimentary fit with Ontario's low-reservoir hydro capabilities is industrial wind, which features weak summer performance.

Outside, the world is dark, though the moon is full and bright and big overhead. It has been a clear, sunny day with temps in the mid-40’s, pretty perfect for the 22nd of February.
Yesterday, I went to church and then to Albany and by the time I got home, the stuffing had been knocked out of me and I tumbled into bed about five and ended up falling asleep somewhere around nine. Going to a party up there exhausted me. Carrying a crockpot up a small hill was nearly impossible. I felt old and fragile and I was not happy.
Today, I woke up early and it has been the most active day I’ve had since I was out of the hospital. I was doing just fine and then, about twenty minutes ago, the wall was hit and I sank back into bed.
My sister, the nurse, has been telling me to listen to my body and I have been. When it says rest, I do. I stretched too far yesterday.
So here I am, propped up in bed in my sweats, jazz playing and my laptop in my lap.
It was a good day. Good class. Isaac Phillips, a young entrepreneur, Skyped in from Mexico City where he is working on an app for the Latin American market. This sounds promising. Ads delivered to your phone in exchange for your data bill being paid.
Isaac is a really good young man. And he is not much older [and younger than some] of my students. He spoke about following your passion also meant suffering for your passion. It was a great dose of reality about what it takes to make it in the high tech world.
I also showed a short film about the history of media which featured a poster of “The Jazz Singer,” the first talkie. A lifetime ago I had lunch with May McAvoy, who was the female lead in “The Jazz Singer.” She and three other stars of the era talked of the ’20’s as if they were yesterday and were a window into a world that was gone.
One of the other stars that was there that day was Leatrice Joy, who was divorced by John Gilbert so he could marry Greta Garbo, who left him at the altar. She was one of my mother’s favorites.
Esther Ralston was another, top billed over Gary Cooper in her day, who talked about having to beat off her husband with her umbrella when he tried to push her into the Grand Canyon after the stock market crash so he could collect the insurance.
These were women who had lived and were still seizing life when I met them.
On Twitter, I posted an article about the controversy between Apple and the Feds over unlocking a phone used by the terrorist couple in Riverside who killed fourteen and wounded many more. Apple is not wanting to do it; the Feds are demanding it and everyone is thinking about it. I have made no decision about it and was a bit surprised when my post brought forth strong comments on both sides of the issue.
And then I realized it was really important and how we decide this is going to be important going forward. How does a free society remain free in a time of terror? I don’t have the answers but appreciate the questions being asked.
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz has fired his spokesman for a tweet, inaccurate, about Rubio. Cruz is getting a slimy reputation and he is trying to shake it. He’s not shady but he hires people who are… Excuse me?
Jeb Bush spent $130,000,000 running for President and has now bowed out of the race. I actually thought he would be the candidate; it seemed logical. My friend, Jeff Cole, picked Rubio. I think Jeff is smarter than I am.
Also tortured, but not as viscerally as Syria, is Yahoo, a tech giant who has lost its way. In 1999, it was the Google of its day. Now it’s not and there is lots of talk about dismembering the company, selling it off in pieces. Marissa Meyers may well be its last CEO.
And that’s the last I can do for today. I am worn out. Need to quit now and allow myself to fall asleep watching something good, start tomorrow all over, hopefully as fresh as I felt today.

Trudell Bostick, lovingly known as Trudy of Boston went to be with the lord on Wednesday August 01, 2018. Trudell Bostick, the youngest child of four was born November 07, 1952 to Johnsie and John (Cease) Bostick of Ellerbe, North Carolina.
Trudy was raised in Boston, Massachusetts by her sister Mamie Ruth & her brother in law Julian (Red) as their own alongside their own children: her niece Yvonne, and her three nephews Julian Jr. (Binkey), Wayne, Richard and sister Doris after losing both her parents by 1954.
After attending Dorchester High School. Trudy worked with children before becoming a mental health worker for the State while attending Roxbury Community College.
Trudy was a good mother who not only raised her own two children Jodi and Larry but helped raise Tiffany as her own and loved dearly with the help of her departed common law husband John James “JJ”.
Trudy was a strong & selfless woman who knew what she wanted. Trudy was the kind of woman that if you were hungry she would feed you a hot meal. If you were homeless, she provided you shelter. If you needed a friend to throw down, Trudy had your back. If you just simply needed someone to talk to she gave you an attentive ear. She didn’t pass judgement, she took all your most intimate secrets with her without her ever repeating them. She will be greatly missed.
Today, August 13, 2018 we celebrate Trudy’s going home to be with the lord. Let us rejoice together in remembering how Trudy possessed a contagious laugh with entertaining humor. She always looked forward to having a good time with family and friends.
Trudy was preceded in death by her mother Johnsie Bostick, father John Bostick, brother Levester Crump, sister Mamie Ruth Daniels, brother in law Julian Daniels, niece Yvonne, nephew Wayne & her common law husband JJ.
Trudy is survived by her sister Doris, son Larry, daughter-in-law Miriam, daughter Jequeta (Jodi), son-in-law Gabriel, three grandchildren Jordan, Jaahkye, Joseph (JJ), two nephews Richard and Binkey, her two girls Doris W. and Millie E. along with a host of loving cousins, extended family and close friends to cherish her memories.

DCEA greatly values its cooperation with external partners. At a national level we have great collaboration with Danish regions and municipalities, consultancies and power supply companies and internationally we have project collaboration in e.g. China, Thailand, Greenland and Vietnam.
In a Danish context we have recently establised a network around internship and coordination among students and our network partners. The aim is to make the process on establishing beneficial internships as smooth as possible for both employer and student. If you are interested in joining the network you are welcome to contact Ivar Lyhne at lyhne@plan.aau.dk in Aalborg or Sanne Vammen Larsen in Copenhagen at sannevl@plan.aau.dk.
"I have been working as an intern in Rambøll in the department of Environment and Utility during my 9th semester at Aalborg University. In this context, I have been involved in environmental assessments of municipal plans and EIAs for solar heating projects and for the harbour of Thyborøn. During the internship, I have prepared a report and an article about the problems of the duplication of rules and authorities for harbour expansion. The internship has allowed me to experience the problems I have identified through my project in the real world. I have realized the difference between examples told in a lecture, and being part of a group developing a specific product where input from a variety of professionals with different expertise is necessary. I have been very pleased to be an intern at Rambøll, who have been so welcoming and helpful in my work."

Have you found Snoop Dogg’s music videos to be somehow lacking? The rapper has staged videos in Brazil, wartime Casablanca, his parents’ house, the Pacific Ocean, and, famously, his hometown of Long Beach. He apparently decided the next logical location for a video shoot would be Liechtenstein, the tiny alpine nation wedged between Switzerland and Austria. But Snoop didn’t just want to use a few Liechtensteiner spots for his shoot. He wanted to rent the entire country.
According to reports, Snoop Dogg approached the government of the tiny European nation, which has an estimated population of 35,000, to see if he could use the entire country as the set for an upcoming video. The star’s request was eventually denied, though only because his management team didn’t allow for adequate timing.
Karl Schwaerzler, local property lease agent, told the Daily Mirror: We’ve had requests for palaces and villages, but never one to hire the whole country before. It would have been possible, but Snoop Dogg’s management did not give us enough time.
Snoop Dogg has come quite a ways since his breakthrough appearance on the 1993 Dr. Dre hit ‘Nuthin but a G Thang’. The video introduced the 21-year-old Snoop in a long shot through his parents’ one-story Long Beach home to the young rapper’s modest, messy bedroom. Now he can rent entire countries. But only if they get back to him quickly enough.

Edison World School Abu Dhabi - information page.
Received an offer to teach ESL - I never applied.
Offer was valid after I paid $2500USD for Visa fee, goat fee, fee fee, tax fee..Etc.
What a load of Horse Dump!
Meinkrys wrote: Offer was valid after I paid $2500USD for Visa fee, goat fee, fee fee, tax fee..Etc.
Thanks for posting here and alerting other readers to the teaching job scam. It really stings to lose that money. I don't know any easy ways to get that money back. There have been many similar stories about other job scams in the UAE and I've not heard of any where someone got their money back.
TL;DR version of information below: The Edison World School in Abu Dhabi currently found online does not exist in real life, and is an example of a common scam where someone advertises teaching jobs at schools in the UAE which don't exist. The scam is that when an offer is made, money is requested to pay for visa processing fees. Never send money for visa fees to any employer or agency in the UAE. If an employer or agency asks for money, assume it is a scam, or the employer is unpleasant to work for if they really exist.
Edison World School was officially announced in 2011 as a school planned for Abu Dhabi but nothing further developed. It appears that someone or someones have either read that announcement and used that name for a scam, or set up a scam which coincidentally has the same name as the proposed school. It seems unlikely that the organisation which made the original announcement is involved in the teaching job scam.
www.edisonworldsch.com is what appears to be the official school website, however it is copied from the Repton School Abu Dhabi website (Repton is a real school), with Repton School replaced by Edison School or Edison World School, and some other adjustments for address, location, staff names etc. The fake EWS website even has photos of Repton School in Derbyshire, relabeled as photos of EWS.
Repton Abu Dhabi website wrote: For those families relocating back to the UK, or considering UK Boarding for their child, both Repton and Foremarke Hall (Repton's preparatory school) offers a continuity of curriculum and culture.
EWS website wrote: For those families relocating back to the UK, or considering UK Boarding for their child, both Edison World School and Foremarke Hall (Edison World School's preparatory school) offers a continuity of curriculum and culture.
The headteacher of EWS according to their website is Ms Bianca Anna Gabriel (or Ana). Whoever she is (independent confirmation not found), the photo on the website is of a different person, Ms Tammie McKenzie, who is principal (previously assistant principal) of Carroll High School, part of the Carroll Community School District in the city of Carroll in Iowa, USA. She is still there as far as I can tell (according to her website, her LinkedIn page, and the school website), and probably doesn't know about her doppelganger in Abu Dhabi.
There are three (or more) Edison World School domains.
www.edisonworldschool.com is currently used for the school website. Whois data shows it was first registered 10 Sep 2016.
www.edisonworldsch.com was previously used for the school website but is now just spam, possibly still used for emails. Don't visit, it loads another noisy spam website. Whois data shows it was first registered 21 Aug 2016.
Repton School Abu Dhabi website has a popup warning (they don't name the fake school though).
Repton Abu Dhabi website wrote: It has come to our attention there is a fake organisation sending offer letters to prospective employees with the Repton Abu Dhabi branding. We would like to inform you that Repton Abu Dhabi is in no way affiliated with this organisation.
Repton Abu Dhabi would never ask a candidate for a fee for a position at the school. Please be vigilant when receiving offer letters from third party organisations.
www.ewsabudhabi.com (website content no longer available directly) was used for EWS but website was copied from the Mayoor Indian School in Abu Dhabi (a real school), with a Find and Replace done on the Mayoor school name. Whois data shows it was first registered on 14 May 2016 which seems to be an anomaly given that Google has a record of the website saved before that date, for example 13 Nov 2015 for the page www.ewsabudhabi.com/chairmg.html. Possible explanation is that Google took the date from the page rather than actually retrieving the page on that date, since the page www.mayoorschoolabudhabi.com/message.html (which EWS copied) also has the date 13 Nov 2015 recorded by Google.
Principal or Headteacher's name given on website as Yogita Anna.

Golf Coast Driving Range is the only driving range not attached to a golf course within the Village of Estero and one of few that are left in SWFL.
It had been three years since Keith Copenhaver hit a golf ball when he arrived at Golf Coast Driving Range in Estero on Monday morning with a bag of clubs slung over his shoulder.
It was Copenhaver’s friend Randy Neustifter, visiting Southwest Florida from Missouri, who persuaded Copenhaver to spend the morning at the driving range.
“Let’s go abuse ourselves,” Copenhaver joked.
Golf Coast Driving Range has operated at its location off of Williams Road in Estero for about 30 years, said part-owner Greg Toth. It’s the only driving range not attached to a golf course within the Village of Estero and one of few that are left in Southwest Florida, Toth said.
Public access to a driving range for local residents and seasonal visitors — like Copenhaver and Neustifter — are what keeps the Estero site alive, Toth said.
Most of the visitors to the driving range are people who don't belong to a country club, Toth said.
Season is prime time for Golf Coast Driving Range. That’s when the grass and mats are full with people practicing their swings. Groups often form near the clubhouse as people wait for the next open spot, Toth said.
“Every day is busy once the people get here,” he said.
Golfers will usually visit the Estero driving range for a chance to practice before tee times at area courses, Toth said.
Golf Coast is a “non-judgmental” and “no-frills” range, Toth said. Families have visited the driving range to hit golf balls together.
“Everyone who visits is pretty friendly,” he said.
While Golf Coast Driving Range continues operating in south Lee County, independent driving ranges have disappeared over the years.
Recently, Daniels Driving Range in Fort Myers closed in 2017. A plaza of stores, including a Whole Foods Market, is now in the driving range’s former location off of Daniels and Six Mile Cypress parkways.
Toth believes property values are the reason driving ranges are “a vanishing breed,” he said.
“It’s because the land value is more than the business is taking in,” he said.
In the future, the Golf Coast Driving Range property — about 10 acres south of Estero Community Park and west of Estero High School — could be the site of a future school for the Lee County School District.
The District has looked at the driving range and other properties surrounding Estero High School as a possible location for future schools, said Rob Spicker, a spokesman for the Lee County School District.
“There is a plan in concept only right now between the Village of Estero, the School District and Lee County to develop an elementary and middle school in that area,” Spicker said in an email.
On Monday morning, under sunny blue skies, there was little sound other than the quiet clink of golf clubs against golf balls on the driving range.
Throughout the morning, a steady flow of people filtered in and out of the driving range with clubs in hand.
It was Marianne Engel’s first trip to the Estero driving range.
Engel was visiting from Canada and needed a place to practice. She found Golf Coast Driving Range on Google, she said.
“Having this is what we needed,” she said.
Around noon, David James and his son Michael split a basket of golf balls.
David James, who spends his winters on Fort Myers Beach, has been to Golf Coast Driving Range “quite a few times,” he said.
“It’s a good place to practice your stroke,” James said.
After Copenhaver and Neustifter finished their basket of golf balls Monday morning, Copenhaver said he was pleasantly surprised with how he was hitting the ball.
“It went over better than I thought it would,” he said.
