Social media definition has a way of connecting people despite the uncanny disconnection. This might sound like a paradox but true enough, social media has formed many connections and engagements like never before. People hang out in social networking sites for various reasons. Uses of social media are for networking, personal chit-chats, shopping and dating. Businesses use it for branding, selling, and connecting with customers. Social media has numerous uses and advantages to individuals as well as companies and it’s a great way to scale your business and grow networks.
Social media intends to connect people and create engagement with user-generated content. This is generally what differentiates a traditional website from a social media page or site. This model is a far cry from the old media forms that people are accustomed to. Social media provides abundant opportunity for any brand (regardless of size) to expand their reach, get more customers and generate more sales.
Growing BRAND AWARENESS and AUTHORITY online. Content marketing is the key to the social media game. You should not be overly marketing your brand or doing cold calls all the time – this can work against your business. Instead, focus on providing useful and up-to-date content that is easily digestible and shareable which will help you draw in more targeted consumers to your site. Social media is a vehicle to grow your connections or business partnerships as well as build engagement with loyal customers. Providing valuable and fresh content is important to stay relevant to your target audience. Connecting with them, creating a face to introduce your brand, and proving your authority or expertise will help you dominate your niche or target industry.
Niche NETWORKING. Connecting with people is one important uses of social media. You get to connect with different people and customers regardless of your time zone and distance as per social media definition. For business or personal use, social media should be a part of your customer service tool box and can help you grow your network from anywhere. If you are looking to build your email list, connect with faster or with more people that social media is a great place to start.
Boost SALES and promotion. Just having a website is not enough anymore. Your business needs to be found easily and this is possible with the use of social media sites. Social media allows you to create realizable and scalable campaigns that can be used on different social media platforms and different times to generate more attention and sales for your brand. It also helps you micro-target your audience so you get a filtered or precise audience targeting approach which gives you the results you need in terms of preferences and sales. It’s not just a quest for visibility, actionable outcomes is the key. With social media you are able to establish relevance with your target audience and helps you understand if you matter to your audience and if you are targeting the right people? There’s no use spending money to promote your sales to an audience that are not interested in seeing or learning about your brand.
You can’t just shoot blanks and hope you hit something. It’s not a hit or miss project. If you are taking initiatives to tap into social media for your branding needs make sure you are hitting the mark, especially in lead generation and sales.
Social media gets your engagement all revved and can get your brand into hyperdrive.. The use of social media extends beyond just money or profit, this takes your brand to a different level. You actually get the opportunity to rub elbows; so-to-speak, with your customers and get to know firsthand what they think so you don’t have to make any more wild guesses. Businesses are built to create results and Social media definition takes you there and beyond whilst creating lasting and strong relationships with customers.

Square Foot Gardening | Tractor Supply Co.
For a hearty yield with minimal work, plant a square-foot garden.
Just what is square-foot gardening? A square-foot garden is essentially a full vegetable garden that has been downsized to fit into a “box,” often measuring 4x4 feet, which is divided into a grid pattern for planting.
It’s easy! This method allows you to plan, build, and maintain a garden all by yourself—it’s a true DIY project.
It’s economical—the amount of food you will harvest would cost more if you were to buy it in a grocery store or at a farmers’ market.
All you really need is 16 square feet.
You can grow a variety of veggies efficiently; the compact space ensures that you plant wisely so no room is wasted.
Because crops are densely planted, there is very little weeding to do.
It’s less physically demanding, given the small amount of space being cultivated.
Choose a sunny, open location where your plants will receive 8 to 10 hours of light per day.
Map out your bed(s), always thinking in terms of 4x4-foot squares. If you’re planning on building more than one bed, include aisles in your layout so that you can easily reach the plants in each bed.
Use four 4-foot lengths of 2x6-foot lumber to form each box, securing the four corners with deck screws.
Fill the box with a mixture of 1/3 compost, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 coarse-grade vermiculite for nutrient-rich soil that will drain well.
Using a spool of nylon rope, make a grid of 16 one-foot squares, securing the lines to the boards with eye hooks.
When you are ready to plant, read your seed packets to find out how much space mature plants will need—this will tell you how many plants you can grow in one square. For example, if plants should be spaced 12 inches apart, you’ll plant one per square; if 6-inch spacing is required, you can plant four in a square, and so on.
Sow your seeds into shallow holes and cover with a light layer of soil—be sure not to pack the soil down too firmly; a gentle tamping down with your hand will keep the seeds in place while still allowing water and oxygen to reach them.
Water them well and plan to do so regularly throughout the growing season.
As your garden matures, begin harvesting on a continual basis. Once you’ve pulled a plant out, remove any remaining roots and foliage debris, add new compost, and plant more seed(s) in that square—this ensures a long growing season.
There you have it—one of the easiest ways to have fresh produce at your fingertips!

Huawei has been keeping busy these days, between unveiling a new MediaPad tablet and the Huawei P30 Pro coming tomorrow, but they’re on to even bigger things. Turns out that they’re about to enter the Smart Display market and they’re even considering 5G TVs.
A new DigiTimes report claims that the Chinese giant is dead set on competing on this market, with smart displays. They’ll be no standard TVs, but instead a connected ecosystem, that includes smart display products, a combination of 5G, AI and Internet of Things. Huawei has been working on its own TV multimedia chips via the HiSilicon branch.
It preferred that instead of working with the likes of MediaTek, Realtek, Novatek or Himax Technologies. HiSilicon was making chips till now and now it’s working on tuner products, which is supposed to be the most difficult part of the TV chip solution production, on account of the different frequency and channels for signal transmission in USA and Europe.
The report also talks about the multimedia chips being manufactured by TSMC and using 5G technology for multimedia streaming. The chips may reach set top boxes, connected TVs and media players.

PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to grant furthermore funds of Rs 277 million for its ally Maulana Samiul Haq’s seminary, Darul Uloom Haqqania.
Following this amount, the sum of funds granted to this religious seminary has reached to a whopping Rs 577 million.
The provincial government, in its budget 2016-17, had also allocated a whopping Rs 300 million for Darul Uloom Haqqania and had stated that the government wanted to bring these madrassas to mainstream.
Defending the provincial government act, Imran Khan had said that Maulana Samiul Haq had assured him to bring reforms in the syllabus and system of the seminary in return of this grant.
High placed sources in the Department of Auqaf have confirmed that they had forwarded a summary of Rs 277 million grant for Darul Uloom Haqqania to Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak as per his wishes. Following the approval, the funds would be dispersed to the seminary.
On the other hand, the release of whopping Rs 277 million grant days before Senate elections is being perceived as a political stunt to get Maulana’s support.

Mgahinga Gorilla National park is a well known park for gorilla safaris. At just 33.7km2, Mgahinga Gorilla is Uganda’s smallest national park. However, it is also one of the most dramatic for the park lies on the northern slopes of Mts. Muhabura, Mgahinga and Sabyinyo, three volcanoes that create an unforgettable regional backdrop. These peaks are three of the six Virunga volcanoes that mark the southern limit of the Albertine Rift Valley and are divided between Uganda, Rwanda and DR Congo. The Virungas are home to more than half of the world’s population of the endangered mountain gorilla. 380 individuals roam the slopes of the volcanoes while the remaining 340 live nearby in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Fortunately for the gorillas, Mgahinga’s small area is supplemented by those of two larger, adjoining parks in Rwanda (Volcanoes NP) and DR Congo (Virunga NP). Though gorilla tracking is the park’s most popular activity, Mgahinga merits a visit simply to appreciate the scenery. A choice of hikes allows for all abilities, ranging from the 8 hour return trip to the summit of Mt. Muhabura, to gentle strolls across the lower slopes beneath the magnificent three peak backdrop. The park experiences two rainy seasons; March-May and September-November. October is the wettest month, with 250mm of rain and July the driest with just 10mm.
Mgahinga’s slopes are covered with a series of distinct altitudinal bands of vegetation. The lowest zone is an area of grass and bush which was formerly encroached and cleared by farmers and is now regenerating. Undisturbed vegetation starts with montane woodland, followed by the bamboo zone, montane forest and the Ericaceous zone which contains giant tree heathers. The sequence culminates with the spectacular alpine zone which occurs only on East African Mountains above 3000m and includes bizarre giant forms of lobelia and groundsel.
The park contains at least 39 species of mammal and 79 birds. Larger mammals include elephant, leopard, buffalo and bush pig but these are rarely seen. Mgahinga’s most famous resident is the mountain gorilla. Less famous but equally rare and deserving of protection is the golden monkey which is found only in the Virungas and in one other forest in Rwanda. Notable bird species include the Rwenzori turaco, crowned hornbill, black kite and crowned crane.
The Mgahinga has three volcanic peaks, Muhubura (4127m), Sabyinyo (3669m) and Mgahinga (3474m). These can all be climbed. Though no specialist equipment is required, a reasonable level of fitness is necessary if you intend to enjoy the experience.
The Batwa Trail leads from the base of Muhuvura Cave. This walk is conducted by Batwa guides VI insights into their traditional forest life and culture. The 342m long Garama Cave lies beneath a plate northern edge of the park, 3 km from Ntebeko. It is former farmland zone but in earlier times, the cave forest when it was occupied periodically by Batwa as a council chamber and a retreat after raiding their neighbors.
Mgahinga’s most exciting and memorable activity is tracking the mountain gorilla in thick jungle. The park has one habituated gorilla group (Nyakagyezi) which is visited by tourists. This consists of 11 members; 2 silverbacks, 3 adult females, 4 juveniles and 2 infants. This group is now settled in Mgahinga and nolonger crosses into Rwanda and DRC. Registration and briefing for gorilla tracking commences at Ntebeko at 07.45. Tracking starts at 08.30 and can take three to eight hours.

A few days ago I read a piece by Jon Troutman over at Corkd.com on the power of suggestion in wine tasting. It’s worth a read, but the for the purpose of summarization, the gist of the article is that in Jon’s experience, being given a set of descriptors about a wine often leads to us actually picking up those aromas and/or flavors, likely due to the power of suggestion.
My answer, based on personal experience, is that for most people the answer is that you’re only smelling/tasting things that are actually there. The trouble is that we can only draw upon our own limited sensory vocabularies when we’re tasting wine, and therefore are certainly susceptible to being influenced on “shades” of those flavors and aromas; kind of like color shades that closely resemble one another.
For example, I can tell you that a wine we are tasting together smells like blue fruits or black fruits, or berries. That’s pretty general and you might agree with me. But then I can tell you that is smells like blackberries, and while you might not have been picking that up directly, chances are you will after I tell you that it smells like blackberries to me.
But… what if I tell you all of a sudden that it smells like skunk?
Sorry, but I just don’t think most people are that gullible or that susceptible to suggestion. If the wine doesn’t smell like skunk, I’m not going to be able to convince most people that there’s a skunk smell in there.
My own experience bears this out. In on-line tasting during TasteLive.com events (where dozens of people are tasting the same wine at the same time and sharing their opinions of the wine in real-time), I’ve often been asked, ” do you get [insert descriptor here] on this wine?” If I don’t, I say No. Simple as that.
The moral of the story is to trust your own nose and your own instincts, and don’t let yourself be “sold” a tasting profile anymore than you’d let a used car salesman sell you a line about the past history of one of his cars.

Wow--what a crazy busy Christmas this has been. I think I'm going to plan on something a little quieter next year!
Kevin and I just finished our fifth week of doing our new radio show Night Watch on KKMS AM980--tonight was wonderful--great guests and callers. The occult is real and it affects people's lives...talking about it from God's perspective is a good thing. The show will be archived on WalterMartin.com this week. Watch our What's New page for info.
I am now tweeting on Twitter (JillMartinRiche) so come on over and say hello! Also will be expanding our YouTube account (WalterMartinDotCom) to include a weekly video blog. I will not hold back on this one--so get ready for some fireworks. First up...well, you'll have to check out YouTube to find out. Should be up by January 14.
I believe the comment is meant to be taken "don't be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good... too set apart to dirty our hands helping others... too holy to be in the world while endeavoring not to be of the world.
The Jewish Pharisees come to mind (especially in the Good Samaritan parable). Or in our own recent history the unwillingness of the Church to take up the cause of the downtrodden female (so the feminists did and look where we are today).
In the time of our founding fathers a legal acronym was used so that the word "fornicate" would not be used in Christian America's legal system. A word that by the way appears in the Bible no less than 44 times.
That acronym, incidentally, is the far more vulgar "f-bomb."
This is rather the point. Man interferes even with the best of intentions, and when he does interfere it always ends up worse.
and the writings (Proverbs 30:5-6).

Alvarez, M.; Cors, J.; Delgado, J.
In this paper, we prove the existence of special type of motions in the restricted planar parabolic three-body problem, of the type exchange, emission—capture, and emission—escape with close passages to collinear and equilateral triangle configuration, among others. The proof is based on a gradient-like property of the Jacobian function when equations of motion are written in a rotating-pulsating reference frame, and the extended phase space is compactified in the time direction. Thus a phase space diffeomorphic to [-p/2, p/2] × C-µ1,µ2 × C -coordinates (¿, ¿, ¿') is obtained with the boundary manifolds ¿ = ±p/2 corresponding to escapes of the binaries when time tends to±8. It is shown there exists exactly five critical points on each boundary, corresponding to classic homographic solutions. The connections of the invariant manifolds associated to the collinear configurations, and stable/unstable sets associated to binary collision on the boundary manifolds, are obtained for arbitrary masses of the primaries. For equal masses extra connections are obtained, which include equilateral configurations. Based on the gradient-like property, a geometric criterion for capture is proposed and is compared with a criterion introduced by Merman (1953b) in the fifties, and an example studied numerically by Kocina (1954).

“There are a lot of combinations to winning the five Ohios. We’re going to unlock the combination,” promises Rich Beeson, the Romney campaign’s political director. Four years after John McCain was outhustled across the state, the Romney campaign boasts that it has knocked on more doors here than anywhere else. Inside the Romney campaign’s Ohio headquarters, a nondescript warren of rooms on the north side of Columbus, aides have mapped out a plan to cobble together a majority by targeting voters in places where Obama’s support has slipped: coal country, college campuses, Catholic communities, cities that rely on the military bases that would suffer from looming defense cuts. “It’s all peaking at the right time for us,” says Scott Jennings, Romney’s Ohio director, who calls the race a “dead heat.” Averages of all public polls in the state suggest the race could be within a couple of points.
Then there were the billboards, paid for by anonymous outside donors, that loomed for several weeks above mostly low-income neighborhoods in Cleveland and Columbus, warning that voting fraud was a felony punishable by 3 years in jail and stiff fines.
With all this politicking going on and the whole world watching, turnout is expected to set records. Bennett, the GOP chairman, estimates that turnout could edge toward 6 million, far more than the 2008 totals, with some 75% of Ohio’s 7.9 million registered voters casting a ballot.

Since 1994 we’ve brewed all sorts of exciting beer styles. In 2001, we bought our building – which used to be an old dairy processing plant – and set out for over a decade of exponential growth. Our brewery has become what it is today thanks to our hardworking, creative and passionate employees. Here at Great Divide, Bold Character is more than just a catchphrase, it’s the philosophy behind what we brew, how we think, and what we believe.
In many ways, Ratio started in the punk scene back in the late 90’s. We cut our teeth by touring, playing out, creating zines, and working at labels. That DIY mindset prepared us for the challenges of creating and sharing our passions on our own terms. Over the years that energy has been channeled into brewing, learning the craft in Germany and honing our skills at some of the most respected breweries in Colorado. After moving on to successful careers in brewing, marketing, and finance; we have teamed up again for our most ambitious project yet – Ratio Beerworks, a Denver micro-brewery.
Society tries to steer you down a very defined path of norms. Some might say this is the road most traveled, made of bricks that have been compacted with the footsteps of mindless cooperation. Go against the grain, find your own path, and when you need inspiration always look to the ones in black. They are the rule breakers, the non-conformists, and the counter culture. Black Shirt isn’t just our name – it’s our philosophy against convention and homogenization. It’s who we are, who we call our friends and what we strive to be – the ones that challenge the “norms” of the craft beer industry.
Our Mutual Friend Brewing creates a place for community through their small neighborhood taproom in the up and coming River North (RiNo) neighborhood. Their vision was to create beers with a sense of place. Forging relationships with Colorado hop and barley growers and has allowed them to offer as many 100% Colorado grown beers as possible. Among their medals earned are a silver medal in the wood and barrel aged sour category at the Great American Beer Festival for a 100% Colorado mixed-culture fermentation barrel-aged sour beer, and back to back silver medals in the brett beer category.
We love the Denver lifestyle and wanted to create a brewery that matches our city’s personality. Denverites work hard, and play even harder. And after a long slog at the office or a gnarly mountain bike ride there is nothing better than a friendly place to sit and relax with friends and a pint. We welcome both oxford shirts and dirty shorts. Dogs are welcome too. Denver Beer Co is a community where patrons will likely meet a new ski buddy and swap scar stories with strangers.
Inspired by a bike trip through Belgium, maker of Fat Tire Amber Ale and a wide variety of award-winning beers, it’s the third-largest craft brewer in the country. A 100% employee-owned brewery recently named the nation’s best brewery tour by USA Today’s 10Best. New Belgium Brewing made social responsibility an important part of the brewery’s mission. About 15% of the brewery’s power comes from methane gas created as a byproduct of their on-site water treatment plant. An additional 3% comes from a 300kW solar array on the brewery’s packaging hall in Fort Collins. The brewery also uses an energy-efficient kettle for the brewing process. The Steinecker Merlin kettle heats twice as quickly by boiling thin sheets of wort in the entire kettle at once. This provides significant savings in natural gas consumption. Their vision is making world-class beers while minimizing its environmental footprint.

It helps in preventing the ugly application crashes.
The try block contains the application code which is expected to work in normal conditions. For example, reading a file, writing to databases or performing complex business operations.
A try bock is written with try keyword followed with the curly braces.
The optional catch block(s) follows the try block and MUST handle the checked exceptions thrown by try block as well as any possible unchecked exceptions.
An application can go wrong in N different ways. That’s why we can associate multiple catch blocks with a single try block. In each catch block, we can handle one or more specific exceptions in a unique way.
When one catch block handles the exception, the next catch blocks are not executed. Control shifts directly from the executed catch block to execute the remaining part of the program, including finally block.
An optional finally block gives us a chance to run the code which we want to execute EVERYTIME a try-catch block is completed – either with errors or without any error.
The finally block statements are guaranteed of execution even if the we fail to handle the exception successfully in catch block.
Please note that only try block is mandatory while catch and finally blocks are optional. With a try block, we can use either a catch block or finally block as needed.
It is possible to have below given both combinations in Java. Both versions are valid.
2. How java exception handling works?
Under normal circumstances, when there is an exception occurred during runtime, JVM wraps the error information in a instance of sub-type of Throwable. This exception object is similar to other Java objects and have fields and methods.
Only difference is that JVM checks their presence and pass control to catch block which can handle this exception type or it’s parent class types.
When in the application, there is no catch block found for an exception, the uncaught exception is handled by a default exception handler at JVM level. It reports the exception to user and terminate the application.
Let’s see some examples to understand how the executions will flow in different cases.
If there is no exception occurred, then JVM will execute only finally block. Catch block will be skipped.
If there is an exception occurred in try block, then JVM will execute catch block first and then finally block.
If the exception is not handled by any provided catch block, the JVM default exception handler handle it. In this case, application is terminated by JVM so finally block is also not executed.
If there are multiple catch blocks associated with the try block, then exception is handled by the first catch block in sequence which can handle the exception type or it’s parent types.
For example, a catch block handling IOException, can handle the exceptions of type FileNotFoundException also because FileNotFoundException extends IOException.
There may be cases when there is an exception while handling another exception in catch block. How it will handled?
In case of exception in catch block, the execution is transferred to finally block (if any) associated with the respective catch block. Then the exception is propagated in method call stack to find a catch block which can handle this exception.
If such catch block is found then exception is handled, else JVM default exception handler handles the exception and terminates the application.
For Closeable resources, such as streams, Java SE 7 introduced try-with-resources statements which is recommended ways to handle exceptions in mentioned scenarios. In this approach, we are not required to close the streams and JVM does it for us. It eliminates the need of finally blocks.
In try-with-resources, a resource is opened in try block inside small brackets and finally block is completely gone.
In section, 3.3. try and finally blocks – exception NOT handled, you wrote “the JVM default exception handler handle it. In this case, application is terminated by JVM so finally block is also not executed.” which is wrong. Because, finally block will execute. Please correct me if I am wrong and if I am right please correct it in this page.
Hi Sumit, thanks for sharing your thoughts. If application is terminated by JVM, who is going to run the finally block??
Yes, Lokesh, You are right but section 3.3 there is no any things which are terminating the JVM. So finally block will be executed. I think your statement is correct but the example is not correct.

The outward appearance and look of ]project-open[ is controlled by several parameters. These have nothing to do with the functionality, and are meant to be used by a business in order to put their "personal" stamp onto ]project-open[.
Please modify the parameter SystemLogo in Admin -> Parameters -> intranet-core in order to customize the system logo. This parameter represents the relative URL of the logo file. For example, the value "/logo.gif" refers to the folder /web/projop/www/logo.gif (C:/project-open/servers/projop/www/logo.gif in Windows). You can copy your corporate logo into the same folder and modify the SystemLogo parameter accordingly.
The parameter SystemLogoLink controls the URL that is associated with logo. Default is http://www.project-open.com/.
The left navigation bar should adapt itself automatically to permission settings of menus and other permissions.
You can disable the left navigation bar completely in Admin -> Parameters -> intranet-core and set the parameter ShowLeftFunctionalMenupP=0.
Cascading Style Sheets are used in order format HTML output for the dynamically produced pages of ]project-open[. The default style sheet used throughout the system is controlled by the parameter SystemCSS below the "intranet-core" grouping of parameters. The parameter consists of a file pathname to the style sheet. Default set-up for the parameter is "/intranet/style/style.default.css" on Linux.
We recommend to anyone wishing to modify the CSS that they do so by copying and pasting the original, and then modify according to suit their needs. Add the newly modified CSS to "intranet/style/" and then alter the paramter accordingly to point to the new CSS.

MARJORIE Scardino, chief executive of Pearson, will report on Monday that the media and publishing giant has plunged deeper into the red than expected. The company is likely to reveal an £18m pre-tax loss for the first six months of the year after a slump in financial advertising and mounting losses at internet divisions. Most analysts were expecting losses of just £10m.
Operating profits from the Financial Times are expected to have fallen by about £14m to £95m because of a sharp decline in advertising revenue. But Scardino is confident that booming circulation figures will rule out the need for redundancies. The expected loss of £80m on the company's internet activities has already been anticipated by the City.
Pearson Education, which accounts for two-thirds of the group's sales, is expected to post a £26m operating loss.
Traditionally the first half of the year is loss-making, but trading at the company's new American educational testing company, NCS, has not been as good as expected. But Scardino is confident that President Bush will come to her rescue with his programme for testing young schoolchildren in maths and reading.
The star performer of the Pearson stable is the Penguin books division, with operating profits expected to jump to £37m compared with £33m last year. There are high hopes that Posh Spice's new autobiography, which is due out in the autumn, will give a major boost to sales.
The shares closed on Friday at 1038p.

Happy New Year! I would just like to start this River Island Sale Haul, my first post of 2018 by saying this is probably the biggest River Island order that I've ever made in my life and I'm aware that it is slightly excessive but I couldn't resist. I just so happened to stumble on the River Island website on Christmas Eve Eve when their up to 60% off sale started. I had a new found love for River Island after my Christmas Night Out and I somehow ended up with a jam packed basket of everything from casual tops to going out clothes. I don't think I'll be keeping everything as some of the sizes are a little off but I'm happy with the majority. My huge parcel arrived on the 29th of December which is pretty impressive over the festive season - good work River Island.
This lace mini skirt is absolutely gorgeous. It's one of my favourite styles for wearing either day to day or for a night out and it's a little bit different from any of the others that I own. I didn't want to miss out on this bargain by ordering the wrong size so I bought it in 2 sizes and I'll return whichever one doesn't fit. I think there will be an outfit post wearing this in the very near future. This Burgundy/purple dress is quite sophisticated and reminded me of the pink midi dress from my Last Minute Christmas Dresses post. £20 for a dress of this quality is really impressive and I'm hoping that the midi length won't be too long for me. The wrap style is really flattering around the waist too.
How many times do your friends say they're going to be wearing jeans and nice top to social events? These are both definitely nice tops. The embellishment on the first one is beautiful. Unfortunately the material is a little rough so I'm not 100% set on it just yet and the flare of the sleeves might be just a little too much. However, I like that they've both got a cami top underneath so you don't have to worry about what to wear under it. I've got a black top similar to the sleeveless lace top from New Look and it's a really flattering fit so I'm hopeful that this one will be too. I love this shade of green and the lace is nice and soft. I can see me wearing this with leather look jeans. Unplanned nights out sorted!
Both of these clothing pieces are a little out of season, the blazer more than the top. However it won't be long until Spring time when I can wear the blazer with a cami and jeans. The floral print is gorgeous and the colours are so bright and vibrant. I've got a couple of River Island blazers and they're such good quality. I'm happy with this little bargain. The floral print top is a little bit more suitable for the winter because it's black and the ditsy floral print is so small. It's maybe a little too thin for some of the temperatures we've been seeing recently though.
I'm not 100% keen on this dress now that it's arrived but it might look different on. The material is a little stiff and the front and back look a little low. I did have visions of me wearing this with tights, Chelsea boots and a leather jacket so fingers crossed. River Island jeans are such a good fit for me because they come in short lengths. I would happily have all my jeans from River Island but I just can't afford it so a pair of dark blue jeans on sale is a winner. These Molly Jeans are high waisted too which is one of my favourite fits.
How cute are those sleeves?! I'm a little magpie and can't resist a bit of sparkle. Sequins and frills have transformed this boring white tank top into a girly little statement. Perfect for wearing with a pair of jeans and boots then flip flops in the summer. Love it! I'm really impressed by this bardot jumper, it's so soft and lightweight, the colour is really versatile for through the seasons. Simple, stylish and flattering. A good discount too.
Last but not least two of the more boring but simple and essential items for my wardrobe - long sleeve black tops. Both had a really good discount and are a little bit more interesting than a plain black top. The frills are quite feminine and if you couldn't already tell I like the one shoulder/off the shoulder look. The second top is one of the softest tops I've ever felt!

Does Hippie Hollow Homes Perform Loan Modifications?
Hippie Hollow Homes does not perform loan modifications because they rarely are successful. The problem is that banks will take months to determine whether or not a homeowner qualifies for a modification. Then, when the bank determines that they do not, the home owner is suddenly notified that they owe back payments for all the missed payments during the loan modification and, if they don’t pay, their house will be foreclosed upon.
With over 1,200 real estate transactions performed since 2003, there is very little that Hippie Hollow Homes hasn’t experienced, especially when it comes to helping home owners avoid foreclosure.

As a thank you for the years passed we received end of last year a gilt wrapped package of the Danish designer Stine Goya, and what was in it? A two-parter for Sarah and me the silk ‘edge pants’ up there. Because someone had remembered but exactly how I lately faced press days during the with hearts in the eyes of the Pludern hopeless, struggling with a Heart clasp front of delight. Nothing like I would have done so, as just a day after the top surprise Mademoiselle “Edge Pants”, just like? I had not the slightest idea, because neither sneakers nor high picks were going to really fit and what in the world combining up around, when it comes to below around already so monstrous?
I surrendered – up to Christmas Eve. I gave up after a few hours in the egg-shaped chaps but again, because my friend had nothing but laughter for me left and addressed the entire morning with “My little Persian Prince” me. Only in Berlin a light went back on me eventually. A blue shirt and cognac loafers should Earth the whole look a bit, Yes, almost boring make, because already enough happening on the knuckles. I myself felt the result then indeed as exceptionally suitable for everyday use, all visitors of Garcia Street however at all not a bit.
It’s been not so that you inevitably laughed at me, maybe they took pity on just with me. Because of course the better solution for a trip with a child considered to be seems a hip jeans from outside. At comfort not lacked me, just confidence, at least during the first hour.
Because then I remembered my intent: that must all be fun here, and who can not appreciate my Persian Prince pants and cheer with me.
He at least until shake his head when I’m long gone.

text: Mexico boasts of a perfect climate to grow some splendid marijuana. Not too hot and nor too cold, cannabis plants love the sun and grow freely in Mexico no matter when you plant them. Although Mexican cannabis has earned an unappealing reputation as “brick weed” because of the way the flowers are pressed and packed, these landrace sativas aren’t bad at all. In fact, if you’ve ever tasted a Mexican strain, you’ll know how hard it hits when the high actually begins. A small joint of buds containing Mexican genetics is enough to last you all day. The high smacks you in the face immediately. A single puff will create enough pressure around the temples, but you’ll also be alert and focused on everything happening around you. However, after a while, the high progresses swiftly into another dimension where the focus reduces a fit. You may feel dazed, and the cerebral rush transcends into a dreamlike trance that lasts for a while. Don’t make the mistake of underestimating the Mexican sativa, because she can teach you a thing or two about mental stimulation if you don’t respect her! Perfect to be used anytime during the day, a little goes a long way. Brick weed or not, the levels of THC are super concentrated, so be cautious and you’ll do just fine. Like other sativa flowers, strains derived from Mexican genetics tend to be wispy and elongated. The buds aren’t as tightly packed on the plant either. Instead, they are fluffy with an average production of trichomes. Despite the way she appears, the strain can be extremely powerful. Tasting more like skunk with a peppery flavor, she is pungent enough to bring tears to your eyes. However, you’ll love the unique flavor that’s rarely found in modern cannabis strains found today.

This is a suburb unit. Does a great job of cleaning the pool with very little human effort.
One problem I would like to hear people's opinions about.
In theory the unit sits on the dolly it comes with and the hose wraps around the handle. It is the hose that never quite works. I can force it onto the handle by wrapping it around the edge pieces but then when I take it off the hose is full of kinks, and difficult to manage.
The unit does not have a hose. I assume you are referring to the power cable.
There will be kinks in the cable if it isn't re-coiled correctly after each use. It must be rewound starting closest to the robot and unplugged so the twists and turns may work out towards the plug end furthest from the robot.

Lorries, buses and coaches produce around a quarter of CO2 emissions from road transport in the EU and around 6% of the EU’s total CO2 emissions. Action is needed to curb these emissions.
On 17 May 2018, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal setting the first ever CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles in the EU.
The proposal also includes a mechanism to incentivise the uptake of zero- and low-emission vehicles, in a technology-neutral way.
help maintain the technological leadership of EU manufacturers and suppliers.
Around 54 million tonnes of CO2 reduced in the period 2020 to 2030 – equivalent to the total annual emissions of Sweden.
Savings at the pump amounting to around €25 000 in the first 5 years of use for a new lorry bought in 2025 and up to about €55 000 in the first 5 years of use for a new lorry bought in 2030.
Oil savings of up to 170 million tonnes of oil over the period 2020 to 2040 – worth around €95 billion at today's prices.
GDP increases resulting in the creation of around 25 000 new jobs in 2025.
In 2025, the average CO2 emissions of new heavy duty vehicles will have to be 15% lower, compared to 2019. This target is mandatory and can be achieved using technologies that are already available on the market.
In 2030, emissions have to be at least 30% lower. This target is aspirational, giving long-term direction. It will be reviewed in 2022 to incorporate additional information on the new technologies needed to meet this target.
As a first step, the CO2 emission standards are proposed for large lorries, which account for 65% to 70% of all CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles.
In 2022, the scope will be extended to include other vehicle types such as smaller lorries, buses, coaches and trailers.
Today, about 98% of our lorries rely on diesel. There are virtually no large zero emission lorries on European roads, and few zero emission buses in cities. At the same time, almost all manufacturers have announced plans for zero emission vehicles.
The Commission proposes to support these technologies and foster innovation through an incentive system which complements the Action Plan on batteries.
This system of super credits will reward those manufacturers who will invest more in innovative technologies, while preserving the environmental integrity of the CO2 targets. It also includes zero-emission buses which are needed for cleaner air in cities.
Banking and borrowing to take account of long production cycles, including a reward for early action, while maintaining the environmental integrity of the targets.
Full flexibility for manufacturers to balance emissions between the different groups of vehicles within their portfolio.
Vocational vehicles, such as garbage trucks and construction vehicles, are exempted due to their limited potential for cost-efficient CO2 reduction.
The proposed legislation will contribute to achieving the EU’s goals under the Energy Union strategy and the 2030 framework for climate and energy.
The standards will help Member States achieve their targets under the Effort Sharing Regulation, which concerns emissions from sectors outside the scope of the EU emissions trading system, including road transport.
Stakeholders were involved at various stages in the development of this proposal, e.g. through a written stakeholder consultation (results here and summarised in Annex 2 to the impact assessment).
The legislative proposal has been submitted to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions for further consideration under the ordinary legislative procedure.
The public has the possibility to provide feedback on the legislative proposal after it was adopted by the European Commission.
The legislative initiative is part of the Commission’s third “mobility package” and complements policy measures such as the Certification Regulation, Monitoring and Reporting Regulation, EU type-approval system, Eurovignette Directive, Fuel Quality Directive, Clean Vehicles Directive, Directive on maximum authorised weights and dimensions and Directive on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure.
The monitoring and reporting Regulation requires that, as of 1 January 2019, lorry manufacturers monitor and report annually to the Commission the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of each new vehicle they produce for the EU market.
This information will be calculated using the new Vehicle Energy Consumption Calculation Tool (VECTO), in application of the certification Regulation.
According to the certification Regulation, manufacturers will have to determine the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of new lorries above 7.5 tonnes.
The scope is set to be amended in the future to also cover smaller lorries and buses and coaches. This would allow to also monitor data from these vehicle categories.
The collected data on CO2 emissions and fuel consumption together with other relevant technical information on the vehicles, including the aerodynamic drag, will be made publicly available by the European Environment Agency on behalf of the Commission, starting in 2020 to cover data monitored in 2019.
The new system will complement the existing EU reporting system for cars and vans.
More information on the Commission proposal for a monitoring and reporting system is available in this memo.
The information required for monitoring and reporting will be calculated using the Vehicle Energy Consumption Calculation Tool (VECTO).
VECTO is a simulation software that can be used cost-efficiently and reliably to measure the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of high duty vehicles for specific loads, fuels and mission profiles (e.g. long haul, regional delivery, urban delivery, etc.), based on input data from relevant vehicle components.
The tool has been developed by the Commission in close cooperation with stakeholders.
For more information on VECTO, see Annex 12 of the impact assessment.
12/2017 - LOT 4 report: "VECTO tool development: Completion of methodology to simulate Heavy Duty Vehicles' fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Upgrades to the existing version of VECTO and completion of certification methodology to be incorporated into a Commission legislative proposal"
12/2017 - Final report: "Feasibility assessment regarding the development of VECTO for hybrid heavy-duty vehicles"

It's Week 14 of the NFL season and the first playoff spot has been clinched. The Los Angeles Rams claimed their second straight NFC West title by virtue of last week's win in Detroit. What's more the Rams (11-1) are once again the overall top seed in the NFC following New Orleans' loss to Dallas last Thursday night.
The Saints (10-2) are still in excellent shape in the NFC South and can seal up the division title with a win over Tampa Bay or should Carolina lose to Cleveland. New Orleans also gets a shot at avenging its Week 1 home loss to the Buccaneers, who have won two in a row.
In the AFC, New England (9-3) can secure its 10th straight AFC East title with a win in Miami while Houston (9-3) can sew up the AFC South by beating Indianapolis at home and with a Tennessee loss to Jacksonville on Thursday night. Kansas City (10-2) can punch its postseason ticket with a victory over Baltimore (7-5), who currently holds the second wild-card spot in the conference. The Los Angeles Chargers (9-3), who will host Cincinnati, have the other.
Other games on the Week 14 slate with playoff ramifications include Philadelphia (6-6) in Dallas (7-5) with first place in the NFC East on the line, as well as a "Monday Night Football" matchup between the two teams that currently hold the two NFC Wild Card spots — Minnesota (6-5-1) and Seattle (7-5). Additionally, NFC North-leading Chicago (8-4) will look to bounce back after last week's loss to the Giants, as the Bears host the Rams for "Sunday Night Football."
And while both teams are likely out of the postseason chase, Atlanta vs. Green Bay should be an entertaining game and will be the Packers' first since parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy.

we are using 7Pace Timetracker in TFS for tracking time. This also has allowed us to utilize the Completed Work and Remaining Work fields in the TFS tasks to generate burn down charts.
We have multiple projects set up in TFS, and the Completed work field is calculated in one project automatically when developers enter their time either using the Start and Stop Tracking, or by manually entering time.
Another project does not have the same results. The completed work is not calculated when the develpoers enter their time.
Is there a setting we are missing in the project that is not calculating time?
Work Item Automation settings in 7pace Timetracker could be applied to the projects separately. Make sure that you have same settings for both projects here Settings->General->Work Item Automation. Keep in mind that you could apply new settings for all projects with single click by using "Apply & Copy to Other Projects" button.

It’s February, and that means love is in the air! Preparing for a special day with your loved ones almost always includes a thoughtfully planned and beautifully presented meal. At The Paleo Diet, we designed this healthy and delicious dinner to celebrate the treasured people in our lives. Because this is a special occasion, treat yourself and enjoy a glass of wine with your meal. But first, you might want to read Dr. Cordain’s post about alcohol and The Paleo Diet.
Start your special meal off right, with this delicious appetizer straight from Dr. Cordain’s premiere cookbook: The Real Paleo Diet Cookbook (p. 283). Your special guests will be impressed and are sure to enjoy the start to an evening to remember!
Preheat oven to 400°F. remove stems from the mushrooms and reserve for the next step. Use the tip of a spoon to scrape the gills out of the caps and discard gills. Place mushrooms with the 1/4 cup olive oil. Turn mushroom caps so the stemmed sides are up; sprinkle with Smoky Seasoning. Cover baking dish with foil. Bake, covered, about 20 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, chop reserved mushroom stems and set aside. To prepare chard, remove thick ribs from leaves and discard. Coarsely chop the chard leaves.
In an extra-large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic. Cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add chopped mushroom stems, chopped chard, and Mediterranean Season. Cook, uncovered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until chard is tender, stirring occasionally.
Divide chard mixture among the mushroom caps. Drizzle any liquid remaining in baking dish over stuffed mushrooms. Top with chopped radishes.
Note: to get the freshest Portobello’s, look for mushrooms that still have their stems intact, the gills should look moist but not wet or black and should have good separation between them. To prepare any kind of mushrooms for cooling, wipe with a slightly damp paper towel. Never run mushrooms under water or soak them in water – they are highly absorbent and will get mushy and waterlogged.
This salad is simple to prepare and pairs perfectly with the beef in your main dish. At The Paleo Diet, we have found this to be one of our favorite recipes from Dr. Cordain’s most recent cookbook: Real Paleo Fast and Easy (p. 238).
½ cup chilled Paleo Mayo (page 305 of: Real Paleo Fast and Easy) or store bought olive oil mayo.
Halve the mango, cutting on each side of the seed. Cut each half into thin slices; remove from skin and set aside. Cut any remaining mango from around the seed and finely chop.
In a large bowl, stir together the finely chopped mango, Paleo Mayo, balsamic vinegar, and curry powder. Stir in shrimp, celery, and onion.
Divide lettuce among plates and top with mango slices. Spoon shrimp mixture on mango slices. If desired, top with radishes.
Note: If you buy frozen cooked shrimp, be sure to read the label to ensure that the only ingredient listed is “shrimp” – no preservatives or salt.
Impress your guests with this main dish! The fresh herbs in the marinade enhance the flavor of the beef and will fill your kitchen with a delicious aroma. Choose organically grown, tender filets for best results.
Rinse filets under cold water, pat dry, and set in shallow dish. Combine remaining ingredients to create a marinade. Pour over steaks, covering meat on both sides. Refrigerate steaks up to 24 hours before cooking. Grill steaks over medium heat turning once until cooked to preferred doneness.
Rinse asparagus in cold water and pat dry. Snap off rough ends of spears and set aside. In large skillet, heat olive oil at medium temperature. Place asparagus in pan and gently roll the spears until they are evenly coated with the oil. Cook until asparagus softens but retains its shape. Slice lemon in half and drizzle evenly over asparagus. Sprinkle with paprika and cook an additional 2 minutes before removing from pan. See and slice remaining half lemon and place over tops of asparagus before serving.
Top off your meal with this healthy, no fuss Paleo desert. Combine your favorite fresh berries in 2 desert cups and share in the afterglow of the perfect Paleo meal.
To find hundreds of pure Paleo recipes, just like these, visit our store and check out Dr. Cordain’s cookbooks.
May your Valentine’s Day be filled with love, good health, and great food!

The generic five step MLM recruiting system we present on this website, lays out a system for bringing a new person through the process of being a suspect (not knowing anything about home business), to being a prospect (expressed an interest in home business), to being a member (signed up in your MLM) to finally being a business partner (duplicated your process).
Of all the five steps, the one the majority of your time should be spent on is exposing new people to your business each and every day. You should endeavor to find 3-5 prospecting methods that work for you. I love the internet, so my personal favorites all involve the web. They are search engine optimization, promoting funded proposals on the PPC networks and, new to my arsenal, calling lead lists with the aid of an online predictive dialer.
In general, I’ve had an order of magnitude better response when I’ve generated my own leads. The one notable exception to this is our company has a distributor leader who is an expert at radio advertising. He shares his expertise in the form of coop, and everyone pitches their funds together and shares the leads. While these are generic home business leads, these work well because they are not generated on the internet, and are 100% exclusive.
There are excellent training resources available to help you find your track, your favorite method of operation. I recommend getting a copy of Mark Yarnell’s Holy Grail of Network Marketing, vol 2, which is dedicated to exposing 26 unique rejection free prospecting methods, such as the curiosity creating button, lime gree card advertisements, and domain specific lists just to name a few.
Remember the process; the purpose of the exposure step is to create enough curiosity so that the suspect will take the next step, upgrade themselves to a prospect, and review your presention. Since this is an action you control 100%, I like to make this the daily goal — you should pick a number between 5 and 30 people that you commit to exposing information to each day.
Do this consistently, and you will succeed.

Earl Thomas’s worst fear became reality on Sunday and he let the Seattle Seahawks know his displeasure after suffering what could be a season-ending leg injury.
Thomas was playing for Seattle despite a contract dispute over the final year of his contract with the Seahawks. He had held out the entire preseason and even practice this week, though he had been playing in regular season games.
On Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, though, Thomas hurt his leg during the third quarter on a play where the Cardinals scored a touchdown to tie the game. Thomas was carted off the field with his leg in an air cast, and after the game Seahawks coach Pete Carroll confirmed that he had fractured his leg. Thomas, though, did not appear to be on good terms with the Seahawks after the injury.

One of the largest military exercises by the Indian Army in recent years has evoked sharp concern in the neighbourhood, with Pakistan raising questions on the scale and scope of the war game that would practice quick maneuvers by strike formations in the desert region.
While India had shared details of the ‘Winter Exercise’ that has commenced in Rajasthan this month as part of a mutually agreed protocol, sources told ET that Pakistan requested for additional details of the war game, with concerns emerging on the ‘intent’ of the wargame.
The Winter Exercise is the biggest wargame being conducted by the Army since the BJP government has come into power and involves over 35,000 soldiers, several hundred tanks and armoured vehicles and heavy artillery support.
The exercise is being undertaken by the Bhopal-based 21 Strike Corps, which has already placed a Brigade level force into the area with more elements being inducted this month before the culmination stage from December 5-10.
A ‘defensive corps’, which shall function as the holding formation for the strike corps exercise will shortly be moved into place from Jodhpur.
“We have informed them (Pakistan) about the exercise according to the procedure. It is as per the routine training and if there are concerns, they will be dealt with through the regular channels as well,” a senior Defence Ministry functionary told ET.

For older adults who think drinking diet soda helps their waistline, this will be hard to swallow: New research suggests that the more you drink of those artificially sweetened beverages, the bigger your belly grows.
A new study of adults age 65-plus found that those who drank diet soda daily gained triple the inches of those who never drank it.
The study is the latest to find that diet soda doesn’t actually help us diet. Instead, it may have the opposite effect, making us crave sweets more, which can lead to weight gain. It may also disrupt gut bacteria, a study last year found, leading to glucose intolerance in some people and increasing the risk for type 2 diabetes.
“People may be sabotaging their own health if they use diet sodas to protect themselves from gaining weight,” study author Sharon Fowler, an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, told HealthDay.
Previous studies have looked at diet soda consumption in middle-aged and younger adults. The University of Texas researchers wanted to “fill the age gap,” Fowler said, by looking at the soda’s effect on the health of those 65 and older.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, followed about 750 adults for nearly a decade. Those who drank diet soda daily had to let out their belts to accommodate the 3.16 inches they gained over the 9.4 years of follow-up. Compare that to less than an inch for non-soda drinkers and 1.83 inches for occasional diet soda drinkers.
As dramatic as this sounds, the research is observational. It does not necessarily prove that diet soda alone caused those bellies to expand. The researchers did not track what the subjects ate, so the daily soda group could have been ordering triple cheeseburgers and fries and then trying to cut calories with a diet drink, while the non-soda group was eating more kale salad and grilled chicken. We just don’t know.
A statement from the American Beverage Association, an industry trade group that would like us to keep drinking those sodas, criticized the study, saying it looked “at an aging population who are already at risk of weight gain and cardiovascular disease and then made conclusions based on associations.” Yes, the findings were associational, but the whole point of the study was to look specifically at those 65 and up, so the objection to the age group is meaningless.
