The lamp emits a comfortable diffused light, through the inside white paint on the shade. Unlike most directed lighting, the glare-free lamp produces a horizontal light, which also reflects through the rear of the head, uniquely illuminating the top of the arm of the structure. This design not only allows for a more spacious and less concentrated light, but also a more balanced view of the area surrounding it.
Sturdy and heavy in design, the Njp Floor Lamp stands at 7.2 kg, with the base made off steel and the stem made of aluminium. The arms and lamp head are also made of aluminium, while the joints are constructed from anodised aluminium.
Since the lamp is available in both white and black to suit the needs of you and your theme-colorer room, the cord of the lamp is also available in each color. The length of it can reach up to 1.7 meters to allow for proper placement, and the switch is placed with delicacy and functionality on the fixture head. There is also an extra bonus on the floor lamp, which allows for a timer function. If you are worried about falling asleep with the light on or leaving your home while it is still working, the timer function allows the lamp to turn off on its own after increments of four to eight hours.
The lamp is also supported by an LED driver, which fits externally and directly on the cord. The light runs with two different levels of intensity.
Material Base: Steel. Arms and lamp head: Aluminium. Joints: Anodized Aluminium. Stem: Aluminium.
Remarks The fixture provides direct glare-free horizontal light while reflecting some of the light through the rear of the head, illuminating the top of the arm. The ergonomic design of the fixture head shapes the light and gives optimal light direction.

What's Important to Know About Repossession?
When a person obtains a loan for a home, car, large household item and more, the item purchased is what secures the loan. This is known as a security interest payment guaranteed. This financial arrangement is based on a person paying on the item while using it. Should a person stop making payments, it is known as a default. Once this happens, a creditor can get legal permission to remove the item from the person. This is known as a repossession.
Many Americans find themselves struggling with the problem of credit card debt. When you owe large amounts of money to your creditors, especially when you have more than one debt, it can negatively affect your credit, leaving you with a bad score and bad reputation. Fortunately, there are some credit cards that can help you to gradually improve your credit. Generally, the best options for rebuilding or improving credit are cards that are secured.
The term underwater mortgage describes a home loan for which the homeowners owe more than the appraised value of the property. For example, you purchased your home for $200,000 with a no down payment loan, and the market value has since dropped to $150,000 or lower. According to 2017 data from the National Association of Realtors, more than 13 percent of homeowners fall into this category.

The recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation and now sits in a pretty, little box on your counter. But, let’s face it – sometimes life gets in the way of slinging tomatoes and stirring pots all day on any given Sunday. And when that happens, Cleveland’s Own Little Italy ® Pasta Sauces can save family dinner. With a handful of delicious, all-natural ingredient, hearty options, these sauces quickly became a favorite of the LGI family. Choose from Pasta Sauce, Marinara Sauce, Spicy Pasta Sauce, and more for a quick, feels-like-homemade dinner. Arriving in Cleveland in 1920 from Sant’Agata di Militello in Messina, Sicily, the family behind the sauce brought their “traditions and flavors from the old world.” So, if you need to take a break from the stove (don’t worry, we won’t tell!) Cleveland’s Own Little Italy ® Pasta Sauces is the perfect stand-in!

How would you hunt this thick wooded mountainous property?
A family member recently bought this house on a piece of land a little less than 200 acres in upstate New York and gave me permission to hunt it.
The lack of obvious hunting spots based off the topos is giving me a bit of trouble trying to figure out how I should hunt it.
The entire property is pretty thick hard woods, mix of pines,oaks,etc…The bottom edge of the property borders a road and reservoir. The roads that are on the map in the middle of the property are not there in real life.. must be some sort of map error. The left half of the property is a pretty steep mountain face- not too steep to walk, but a pretty serious incline. There are about 4 or 5 well cleared but unused logging trails that run across flat ridges that are parallel to the main road-these logging trails are spaced pretty evenly from bottom to top. To the direct left of the property is a small farm with 8-10 apple trees that the deer feed on in night. Above the house, a power line runs through the woods- this is the only spot on the property that a deer has been taken thus far(Two decent 8 pointers, two consecutive years).
Upon first glance of these terrain maps, does anyone see some potential areas to further investigate. Is topographic analysis even useful on a property like this? Or in general, have any tips to hunt thick mountainous woods like this?

Can you have a shock wave in space?
Shocking! Though it wouldn't be similar to a shock wave on Earth, there are still various kinds of shock waves that can occur in low-density environments.
A ‘shock wave’ is the disturbance of material that’s created when a wave moves through a medium at greater than the local speed of sound. Provided there is a ‘medium’ of sufficient density through which a shock wave can travel, there is no reason why shock waves can’t form in space.
However, because most environments in space are of extremely low density, traditional shock waves involving the collision of particles, such as those that give rise to a ‘sonic boom’, are rare. But there are other kinds of shock waves that can occur in low-density environments.
For example, the shock can be propagated by photons interacting with electrons, by a distribution of high energy particles or by magnetic effects. So, shock waves are actually quite common in space. Interplanetary shock waves can occur due to solar flares. ‘Bow shocks’ are formed by the interaction of the solar wind with planetary magnetospheres. Supernovae create powerful shocks, both within the star collapsing to form the explosion and also moving through the interstellar medium itself. Interstellar shocks can also occur simply by the collision or collapse of gas clouds. Black holes, high-density objects such as pulsars, as well as merging galaxies (and even just the motion of galaxies themselves) are also known to form shock waves of various forms.

What company was the best employer for work-life balance in 2010? It depends on whom you ask.
This year, I was surprised to discover the number groups that created their own list of the best employers for work-life balance (and other issues related to it). I wrote about a few of them here at Life Compass over the last year.
In February, I wrote about the 10 Best Employers for Work Life Balance, as determined by Fortune Magazine, which ranked SAS as #1. One of the Best Companies for the 13 years Fortune has been counting, SAS boasts a laundry list of benefits — high-quality child care at $410 a month, 90% coverage of the health insurance premium, unlimited sick days, a medical center staffed by four physicians and 10 nurse practitioners (at no cost to employees), a free 66,000-square-foot fitness center and aquatic center, a lending library, and a summer camp for children.
Over the summer, Working Mother released its list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, along with the Top 10 Best Companies to Work For. For 25 years, Working Mother has ranked America’s companies for their family-friendliness and the benefits they provide for working mothers including schedule flexibility, telecommuting and temporary part-time work options, and programs to help women achieve greater work-life balance. Among the top 10, in alpha order, were: Bank of America, Deloitte, Discovery Communications, Ernst & Young, General Mills, IBM, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics, WellStar Health Systems.
In November, I found a list of the 10 Happiest Holiday Retailers from CareerBliss.com. This report is based on almost 100,000 independent company reviews submitted by visitors to CareerBliss.com to evaluate levels of current and past employee happiness in the following categories: growth opportunity, compensation, benefits, work-life balance, career advancement, senior management, job security, and whether the employee would recommend their company to others. Top company on this list was Costco. I guess this gives me another reason to feel good about being a Costco member!
Also in November (National Adoption Month), the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption announced the Best Adoption Friendly Workplaces in America, This list highlights 100 employers in America that offer the best adoption benefits to their employees. The rankings are based on the maximum amount of financial aid or reimbursement that is offered, along with the amount of paid time off given to employees when they adopt. The late Dave Thomas, founder of the Wendy’s fast food chain, was a strong advocate for adoption. Which is one reason why the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption sponsors this list, and presumably why the Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc. is in the #1 position.
So, what do these top work-life balance companies have in common? And what can other employers learn from them about promoting work-life balance in their organizations?
Flexible scheduling – Allowing employees to work a schedule that suits them best for a particular day, based on their personal needs. For example, allowing them the ability to work four 10-hour days instead of five 8-hour days. Or being able to take time off for personal errands, kids activities, or personal projects.
Telecommuting – Giving employees the option to work from home, a coffee shop, or other location outside of the office or workplace. Some companies allow people to do this permanently. Others allow it once a week, or for special projects.
Investment in personal growth and development – Providing funding for an employee to get a degree, attend workshops, complete professional certification programs, or get coaching for both their professional work and personal growth.
Concierge Services – Offer employees services that help to simplify their personal life, like on-site child care, cleaning service, shopping service, providing meals, etc.
Care – When employees know that their boss genuinely cares about them and is concerned not just about their work performance but their personal life, that translates into goodwill that money can’t buy and carries over into how the employee treats their fellow employees and customers.
Fun – Many of these companies provide a “fun” work environment. This doesn’t mean that things are all fun and games. But it does mean that people find appropriate times to have fun, and celebrate, while they work. It could mean allowing employees to wear jeans on Friday (or everyday), or wearing a sports jersey of their favorite team on game day, or holding contests or special events that bring people closer together as a team.
I’m keeping my eyes open for the 2011 lists of the best employers for work-life balance. Do you think your employer could make the list? Why or why not?
Has the reception affected your work-life balance?
I blog frequently and I seriously appreciate your information. The article has really peaked myy interest.
F*ckin’ tremendous things here. I am very happy to look your post. Thanks a lot and i’m looking forward to touch you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?

What is the meaning of charm? That word is used a lot of times but carries so many interpretations. Generally, it is used to identify anything that is believed to have magical powers. More often than not, these magical powers are positive, that is why people like to associate themselves with it. In reality, people do not only wish good things for their loved ones, they also give them gifts to serve as charms which will make them successful in whatever they are doing, such gifts are known as good luck charms.
A good luck charm is an object that is believed to bring good fortune to whoever wears it. There are no restrictions to the nature of gifts that may be used as a good luck charm, that is why you see so many things being used as charms. From those who give things as simple as a button, to those who go far by giving out very expensive jewellery to their loved ones for good luck, there are no rules. Despite the diversity in the nature of items used as good luck charms, the results seem to be the same.
When you get a good luck charm for yourself or someone, the normal thing to do for it to have effect is to always carry it around. This explains why the objects used as good luck charms are always very small, so that the wearer can easily carry it about for good luck. Apart from good fortune, there are those who actually these good luck charms can ward off evil spirits or keep bad energy far away from them. Many sportsmen and women still use good luck charms to help them succeed in tournaments, musicians also use it when they need to go out and promote their music or make a stage performance, students use it as source of good fortune during examination period and those who want to have something big, like a job interview, also use good luck charms.
Since they are this common and important to a lot of people, what is more interesting about them is that they seem to work, even if they are mere objects…small ones for that matter. Is there a scientific explanation as to why good luck charms work or is it all just superstition?
Whether they work or not is not something to be argued. If they were not, it wouldn’t be so popular. Good luck charms have stood the test of time since they been around as far back as the 1500s where they were initially used to repel evil spirits.
What makes is special is who it came from, your need for the good fortune at the time, and the time it was presented to you. The power of good fortune in a good luck charm is the one you give it, it is all in the way we perceive it and how it affects us.
When you get one, you already feel better about the task ahead. Some people are such staunch believers in this talisman that when things are getting tough in their lives, they pick it up and hold it tight. Once a gift of a good luck charm has been given to someone, the person changes.
This change is not caused by the object’s presence, but by the belief we already have. What do you really need for that interview to be a success? It is confidence? The good luck charm may look like what gave it to you, which is technically true, but it was you who gave yourself more confidence after taking the good luck charm, so you do very well at it.
When you believe that a good luck charm will help you, it just boosts your entire sprit, having almost the same effect as therapy. The self-esteem boost you get from this new backing will alter the way you normally do things and make you approach them with more positivity. If you have a friend who is about to face something really tough, take out time and go through the ten good luck charms we have selected here for you and gift it to them.
In so many cultures around the world, the horseshoe is a symbol of good luck no matter where it faces. There are those who say it must be facing up and others who say it must be facing down. Point is that this is a lucky charm and the direction it is facing is not a serious issue, remember we stated earlier that what makes a good luck charm to work is your perception of it.
This ring has a horseshoe as the main feature, which makes it pass as an effective good luck charm. It has all the feminine brightness that is required. You will have your secret weapon in plain sight when you rock this ring to your event. It is simple enough for formal occasions, and you do not have to take it off during an exam or a job interview. It is made of premium grade stainless steel material and does not corrode, so you can keep using for a very long time.
The material has been tested to be safe for your skin, so if you are sensitive, there will be no complications from wearing this well polished horse shoe good luck charm. High grade crystal clear stones have been used to design the horseshoe figure which stands proudly at the top of the ring.
First it was a ring, now we are looking at coins. There are really no restrictions when it comes to the type of objects that can be used as lucky charms. Unlike the ring that you can wear on your fingers, these coins are not exactly for wearing, you just need to find a place in your bag or pocket that you can keep it safely and carry along with you at all times. These coins are an imitation of the ancient Chinese dynasty time coins which are known to bring good luck to those who have it.
For a very affordable price, you can get as much as a hundred pieces. This much will give you enough to share among all your friends and family members, everyone needs a little piece of luck in their life every day. Also called I-ching coins, the materials used to make these fortune coins are from hard metals which are also really thin. Do not let the thin feature misguide you though, they are really sturdy and almost impossible to deform. These Chinese coins are not only of one type, since an order will get you a package of a hundred coins, you can expect a mixture of legendary Chinese coin types.
The Chinese dynasty coins used to constitute the hundred you will get with your purchase are up to six different types. They are the currencies that were used in the time of Qing dynasty emperors.
Like the Chinese coins, this lucky charms are small and come in a number that can make it go round all your best friends. At a single purchase, you can get up to 50 four leaf clover good luck charm pieces. If you have more than 50 friends you would like to gift good luck charms to, there is no problem at all. That is because this set of good luck charms is so affordable that you can make multiple orders without really feeling any heat from your pocket.
If you are in a profession that puts you in charge of so many people, getting them a mass gift like this will take a lot off your shoulders whenever there is a reason to gift them. An example of such a profession is a teacher, and it can be gifted to people of all ages, kids or adults will feel lucky to have such a thoughtful person around them to present a good luck charm as gift.
The four leaf clover pieces have a tone of silver to increase their appearance, they were made and are distributed by Julz Beads brand. The overall color is silver and the metal used is strong enough to last for many years. Your friends do not have to wear it, since it is not meant to be worn, but they can carry it around in their pockets and bags, if you have a friend who will need the good luck charm for an exam, let them insert it in the book during study.
This is more than just a good luck charm; your friends have to believe in holy things before they can truly appreciate it. If you have friends that are atheists, we advise that you give their beliefs a lot of respect and gift them any other good luck charm. The crucifix will be far more appreciated, and therefore more effective on your friends that believe in religion, especially the Christians among them.
If your friend is a Christian, he or she has probably prayed before going for that task you want to gift them this crucifix for, but they will still take it with lobe because of how much faith they have in holy things. The cross is made out of olive wood and stands proudly at ten inches long. It is from Bethlehem, and telling your friend this will make them appreciate the good luck charm even more. The item weighs just 7 ounces, and there is a hole at the back of the cross which serves as a means for you to hang the crucifix on the wall of your room.
Because of the size, you may not be able to carry this crucifix around like other good luck charms, so when you get it, it is best to hang it in a room where people will always find you, to bring luck to your relationships. It is also good to hang it in your office and study room.
In the world of gemstones, the eye of the tiger has been regarded as one of the ultimate. It is not only pleasing to look at, but is believed to be a very powerful source of good luck. A lot of people also believe that it has healing properties, we are not saying it can cure cancer though, but it does help with healing when you look at how well it has aided people with anxiety and depression. The original eye of the tiger is also known to encourage focus and self-determination. All these are more qualities of the tiger eye is why it has made it to our top ten good luck charms list.
The tiger eye is found here with other precious stones, and they all make up a beautiful bracelet that is colourful enough to be worn for any occasion. Thanks to the healing history of the tiger eye, you can give this bracelet to your friend who might be sick or preparing for an operation. It is a good way of saying you wish them well. The bracelet has an elephant as the meeting point of the circle, the elephant is almost 14mm in size, small enough to allow the tiger eye and other gemstones shine in the bracelet. Other gemstones that make up this bracelet are synthetic turquoise, purple agate, imperial jasper, dyed lapis lazuli, amber and carnelian.
This product is a shiny and stylish bracelet whose main focus is the lucky four leaf clover image sitting in front of it. There is no mixing of colors here, just a complete package of silver colour throughout the bracelet. The gift comes in a very cute box, and when your friend opens it, the first thing they will see it a note which reads ‘a little luck’, that is more than enough to tell the person your intentions for them throughout their daily endeavours.
Your friend will really appreciate the simplicity of the bracelet’s look, it has just pure silver and can be own to every occasion, including formal ones. If your friend has to go on a long trip for an exam or an interview, they can start wearing it immediately you say your goodbyes, not only when the test has started. Though the silver four leaf clover figure looks small, it is hardly hidden, anyone can see what you are wearing despite it being so simple in appearance. When people look at it, they will not see a lucky charm bracelet, they will only see a really nice jewelry…the luck is for the wearer alone.

SOW engagement management is becoming more commonplace in today’s programs; what level of support services are being provided, and how can they grow?
There has been significant discussion for some time about the incorporation of SOW engagements into contingent workforce management programs. Management of traditional staff augmentation engagements is well-understood today, leaving many programs looking to new areas to grow their capabilities and add more value to the organizations.
Large organizations plan to increase their use of SOW fairly significantly compared with other types of contingent workforce talent, according to Staffing Industry Analysts’ research. Hence, it comes as no surprise that more than 50% of large CW programs currently incorporate SOW engagement management. Additionally, program managers say they will incorporate the management of SOW engagements over the next two years. In other words, the engagement management of SOW talent is becoming a common standard practice in CW program management portfolios.
But to what extent? When it comes to what level of support services are being provided in the SOW management practice, they tend to fall in three areas: SOW talent and project tracking; SOW vendor administration and management; and finally, SOW project management.
SOW talent and project tracking. This is the most common area or grouping of SOW management services for CW programs to engage. The most common SOW management-related service programs provide is tracking of SOW talent and potentially the projects they are engaged in. An estimated 75% of CW programs involved with SOW management only offer a management service that tracks SOW talent and project activity at this time.
There are many reasons for this limited SOW expansion phenomenon in the marketplace, the most significant of which is the convenient leveraging of installed VMS technology tools to create informative visibility on the current activity levels of SOW engagements, types, locations, spend, pricing information, length of project, project content/skills used and the talent/vendors being engaged. This is actually a discovery step that enables the program to create some baseline knowledge concerning SOW engagement activity that can be analyzed and shared with key stakeholders without ruffling too many feathers. With this knowledge, a CW program is positioned to create an informed value proposition for the SOW engagement process that is based core stakeholder needs and requirements.
This visibility also creates some risk mitigation opportunities for misclassification events or rogue staff augmentation spend. But it is probably best that the knowledge and visibility created here should be used to educate stakeholders on how to best engage CW talent as SOW workers and safely optimize that CW talent leverage versus rushing in to apply control and compliance. Win over SOW expansion clients with knowledgeable support and then later codify the control and compliance practices with their willing agreement and support.
SOW vendor administration and management. This can be considered the next step in SOW management services provided by those CW programs that are already tracking SOW talent and projects. It is also a natural set of management services that CW programs, in general, know how to execute and competently deliver. CW programs execute vendor management best practices every day in the staff augmentation arena. An example is payment for vendor services rendered, a vendor management service that is core to CW program staff augmentation service practices. VMS technology tools can offer various levels of automated SOW vendor management service support. Vendor management services can include vetting SOW providers, managing engagement compliance issues, vendor payment for services rendered, vendor optimization practices and service performance reviews.
Not all vendor management practices for staff augmentation are applicable or transferable to SOW engagement activities. Different vendor management strategies and approaches will have to be fine-tuned in the execution of this management practice. An estimated 25% of CW programs offer some level of vendor management services in their SOW management practice.
SOW project management. The final step of SOW management services provided by CW Programs. SOW engagements are the procurement of a result; hence, one can offer a services management engagement focused on the management of the result more so than just on the talent/vendor executing the project. Project management is very rarely delivered in programs’ SOW management services, typically only found at some level of delivery less than 10% of the time. But when it is provided, the services can include sourcing of the provider to deliver the project requirement and ongoing extensive milestone management as the project is executed. Some CW programs add a service procurement specialist to the staff, someone with experience in the major content spend categories that engage SOW talent and projects. Full-blown services procurement practices are not in the mind of many CW program leaders when they first envision supporting SOW management engagements. But there is a natural evolution of value creation that will eventually lead many to this level of SOW management services.
Along with what SOW management services a CW program will provide, program leaders will have to decide where they will fit in the overall picture of managing SOW engagements in their organizations. Services procurement is a well-established and professionally successful function in most organizations and operates very competently. Hence, building a close partnership with service procurement and deciding how the program can add value to overall SOW management is a best practice. In many cases, there is opportunity to add value.
Finally, the decision on what level of SOW management services and support to provide can affect many current processes, policies and management technologies that administer and manage SOW engagement activity. So, program managers will also need to decide how it will be incorporated and compliment current SOW engagement management practices and culture.

Forget the box of chocolates. Life is like a ski lift - if you don't raise the restraining device you'll just go round and round.
That was the reasoning behind Vancouver's Stephanie Jagger's decision to ski the most vertical feet ever recorded in a calendar year, breaking a Guinness World record in the process.
Unlike most other people who push the limits on skies, Jagger isn't a ski pro. She didn't race as a kid and laughingly refers to her old self as a "weekend warrior." All she did was set a personal goal to take a year to ski around the world.
"When I told my parents they were very excited, then when I told them how I was thinking of financing it personally, they were not very excited," she recounted.
"I explained to them that it was probably a similar amount of money that people would spend on something like a masters degree and that's kind of what I consider it."
Tackling a mountain degree in international ski relations, Jagger has since clicked into her bindings on almost every continent and is poised to break the previous record of vertical feet skied in a year set by a Brit in 1994. He skied 4,146, 890 feet in 365 days.
Jagger is about to break that record by two months and after countless adventures abroad she came back to her favourite stomping grounds of Whistler Blackcomb to do it. It's a poignant return to the place that sparked the idea to begin with.
"When I originally told my friends what I was thinking of doing they all had a good chuckle because I didn't have the money and I'm not a good enough skier and how is that even possible, etcetera, etcetera," she said. "So we were on the chairlift and I was feeling rather disheartened and we got to the top and there was that sign that can be found at almost every ski resort around the world 'Raise your restraining device.' I looked at it and said, 'what is it that is my restraining device about this idea? What is holding me back from really going after something that I feel quite passionate about?'"
It turns out her barriers were surmountable and her friends supportive so Jagger spent a year and a half saving, executed some creative financing of her assets and was off to Chile to start her odyssey last July. After skiing her way around South America, including a stint at Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego - the southernmost tip of the world, Jagger bounced over to New Zealand for the peak of their winter season. After a two-month stint in Indonesia waiting for the snow conditions to ripen in Japan, Jagger jetted for the land of the rising sun where she discovered the fine art of après, Japanese-style.

BUCHANAN, Va. (WDBJ7) James River was still flying high Friday after coming from behind to beat Giles in the final minutes a week ago. The Knights hosting Alleghany for a chance at six wins for just the second time in the last 11 years.
Head coach Jacob Phillips proud of his team's first quarter. And it went a little something like this. Coulter Hodges gets it going with Luke "the tackle breaker" Pey. Goes down inside the 20 for a first down.
And Pey making the Mountaineers pay. Shuts the door on this drive. Barrels his way in the endzone and the River goes up 12-nothing.
Speaking of the River...Coulter finds River Clonch on the outside. The "tackle breaker" sequel. A big gain for the Knights and a big lead with this run.
Dylan McAlister shoves his way through the mountains and comes out with 26-nothing on the other side.
An action packed first quarter that set the tone for the rest of the game. James River dominates Alleghany 54-7.

Two sub-$10 billion tech hardware stocks are trading lower. But which is a better buy?
For tech investors looking for stocks trading lower as 2015 comes to a close, Fitbit (NYSE:FIT) and GoPro (NASDAQ:GPRO) may be worth a closer look. Both were disappointing tech stocks during 2015, with GoPro being the worse performer of the two. Fitbit stock is down about 3.5% from the stock's opening price of $30.40 when shares first went public in June. Meanwhile, GoPro stock is down about 71% since the first of the year. Could either of these stocks be good investment opportunities after underperforming 2015?
To get a closer look at these two stocks, let's examine their size, competition, recent growth, and valuation.
Data source: Reuters and company filings.
While GoPro is less than half the size of Fitbit, both of these companies are arguably small players compared to key competitors in the hardware space, such as the iDevice maker, Samsung, and Microsoft. At sub-$10 billion valuations, both of these companies could potentially benefit from secular growth in their respective markets.
But investors shouldn't automatically assume these companies' smaller sizes compared to established tech giants guarantees any growth. Both companies face similar uncertainty regarding their future, particularly ambiguity about whether Fitbit or GoPro will be able to fend off competition from more established peers if their well-capitalized competition puts more effort into competing directly with these newer companies.
Competition for both companies is on the rise. There are already a wide range of alternatives to Fitbit's devices surfacing, and GoPro's market overlaps closely with camera tech on smartphones.
Both companies are growing sales incredibly fast. But the nature of each companies' recent growth is quite different.
The most obvious difference in Fitbit's and GoPro's revenue growth, of course, is the rate of growth. Fitbit's 168% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3 easily trumps GoPro's 43% growth during this same period.
But here's a surprising way in how Fitbit's growth differs even more: The wearable device maker's revenue is growing faster than its device sales as it benefits from a product sales shift toward a richer mix. Indeed, the average selling price for Fitbit's products jumped 33% year over year in Q3. On the other hand, GoPro's average selling prices for its products seem to have plateaued recently. And in light of the GoPro's second price cut on its lowest-cost camera in the Hero4 line, the Hero4 Session, which occurred at the beginning of December, it's likely the company's average selling price could decline in the fourth quarter.
Hero4 Session. Image source: GoPro.
No matter how you slice it, the market has priced in a greater premium for Fitbit's growth. In other words, the market believes there is a greater probability that Fitbit's earnings will grow at a faster rate than GoPro's over the long haul. Fitbit's premium valuation compared to GoPro's is evident both by its 49.6 price-to-earnings ratio compared to GoPro's at 15.1, as well as by their price-to-sales ratios of 3.9 and 1.5, respectively.
Both companies are certainly more interesting than they were earlier in the year when they were trading higher. But investors should keep in mind that GoPro's more favorable valuation doesn't automatically make the stock a better buy than Fitbit.
A brief overview of these two companies reveals neither stock is likely an obvious bargain. Investors interested in either stock should take the time to get a better understanding of their businesses, along with their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
However, GoPro's conservative valuation relative to its recent growth seems to already price in a lot of uncertainty. For what it's worth, I'd place my bets on GoPro if I had to choose between the two.

At Calgary Core Physiotherapy, we focus on getting to the core issues of your injury, instead of just putting “bandaids” on your pain.
Physiotherapy treatments at our clinic incorporate a combination of the most up-to-date and effective therapies, specially tailored to get you better, faster.
While we are not massage therapists, physiotherapists apply various advanced massage and soft tissue techniques targeting injured tissues to promote healing. At Calgary Core Physiotherapy, we believe in a “hands-on” approach to treatment.
Joint manipulation involves a quick, but small thrust to a joint (eg. neck, back, ankle, elbow) to provide immediate pain relief and improved mobility. Joint mobilization is a slower movement of a joint in a specific direction.
Your physiotherapist will carefully analyze any imbalances or deficiencies in your muscles, joints, nerves, and overall movement. We provide you with a customized exercise program to improve your injury condition by addressing your flexibility, strength, stability, balance, coordination, and any sport-specific skills.
Class IV Laser Therapy is advanced, non-invasive laser energy used to accelerate healing of injured tissues. Supported by laboratory and clinical research, this form of treatment can help alleviate your pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions.
Prolotherapy is a safe, effective, non-surgical treatment involving injections of chronically injured ligaments and tendons provided by a medical professional. Prolotherapy involves the injection of hypertonic dextrose, mixed with local anesthetic.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is the injection of your own concentrated platelets and growth factors, the building blocks for healing, into damaged ligaments or tendons, or arthritic joints. At our clinic, a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine is used during the procedure to accurately guide the needle placement into the damaged tissue.
Whether you’re a competitive or recreational athlete, your physiotherapist will work closely with your coaches, training program, or personal goals to get you back on track as soon as possible. If you have undergone surgery, your physiotherapist will provide you with optimal treatment and exercise progression in your rehabilitation.
Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT)™ is an advanced manual therapy technique designed to identify and correct muscular imbalances by improving stability in the muscular system. The fundamental principle of MAT is that muscle tightness is secondary to muscle weakness.
Your physiotherapist will determine if an x-ray, ultrasound, or MRI referral is warranted or necessary for your injury condition. These diagnostic imaging tests can assist in gaining further information to confirm a diagnosis and course of treatment.
With their many years of experience, the clinicians at Calgary Core Physiotherapy have helped many Calgary Low Back Pain patients resolve their recurrent or chronic low back problems. The Calgary Core Physio Better Back Pain Program is specially tailored to each patient, and has proven to be effective for so many Calgary Back Pain sufferers.

The yard behind her rowhouse she barricaded with wires and fencing materials and locks on the gate, a fortress not easily penetrated by anyone attempting to gain entry in order to harm her or her canine companions who adored her and protected her by yipping and yapping whenever someone walked by. We knew her for well over ten years and we called her Bag lady, not from disrespect or condescension but as an endearment; beyond a mutual fondness and good will, our relationship with her hinged on a plentiful exchange of plastic bags.
We first crossed paths with Bag lady when she was physically able to push a shopping cart through her grouping of alleys in search of aluminum cans to redeem for bits of cash. We introduced ourselves and told this pleasant woman about our work in the alleys; she identified her yard by pointing to it and, from that time forward, we had a friend in that area -- so did the animals. Bag lady always informed us when she knew about an animal in trouble.
I don't recall how many years ago or how it started, but we developed a routine of leaving food for Bag lady's dogs. Three nights a week we travel the east side of the city (the other three nights we're on the west side), and before each east side trip we put together a care package. Bag Lady had rigged her backyard fence so that she could hang a large bucket on the inside. Leaving our offering meant having to reach through the wiring, extra fencing, and other fortification to drop in the bucket plastic bags sometimes filled with cans, sometimes dry food, sometimes treats and goodies for the dogs.
If she felt well enough, Bag lady was up and waiting for us to arrive at her gate, and she would rush out the door to greet us with a cheerful fanfare accompanied by her little dogs yapping at full volume. She always greeted us in high spirits, thankful for our assistance -- however small -- and she insisted on showing her gratitude by giving us something in return.
When she had nothing else, she gave us an assortment of clean plastic bags. Whenever she managed to set aside a few dollars, Bag Lady prepared two snack bags with fruit she purchased; though her interaction was with Dee, this special woman always prepared a bag for Dee's partner as well. In spring and summer, Bag lady planted a smaIl vegetable garden in an abandoned yard a few doors away. At harvest time she generously shared the bounty with us, and you couldn't find a better tasting tomato than those the soil yielded under Bag lady's careful tending.
We ordinarily reserve these pages for stories and information about the work we do in the alleys and the animals we handle, but Bag lady earned her place as an exception. She was a thoughtful, thankful person for whom no obituary will ever be written eulogizing her accomplishments and standing. Yet she accomplished something few of us can claim -- she rose above her surroundings; her status as a very poor person did not prevent her from making the most of what she had. Many people derive self-esteem from their homes and pride themselves on their furnishings, believing that a pristine home ornamented with expensive furniture and decorations somehow elevates them above the rest, as if a house and its contents could attach value to a person. I never saw the inside of Bag Lady's home, I didn't need to -- I saw inside her soul. A love of animals, a thankful heart in the midst of poverty, these and a humble goodness were the measure of a fine woman. Mere reflection of a bank account or credit line, even the grandest house meant to dazzle all who enter could add nothing to the light our Bag Lady brought to this world.
Recently, on two consecutive trips through the east side, Dee arrived at Bag Lady's gate to drop off the bags of dog food, but found no bundle of "thank you" bags tied to the fence. In itself this was not enough cause for concern, so Dee tossed both little dogs a treat and went on to finish the night's alley work. The receiving bucket inside Bag Lady's fence was able to hold a substantial cache, so Dee did not realize until the third visit that the bags she was leaving were'nt dropping to the bottom. The bucket was half-full. Reaching into the bucket, Dee pulled out its contents -- a week's supply of food Bag Lady had not collected. Something was very wrong. Bag Lady relied on our assistance to provide for her dogs whom she rescued from the streets and loved dearly. She would never willingly withhold meals from them. With a suddden shudder, Dee realized in Bag Lady's absence, the two little dogs had been outside and without water or food (other than the treats she tossed them) for almost a week. Before leaving this time, Dee threw over the high fence enough food to fill their empty stomachs.
Later that day we drove to Bag Lady's neighborhood and tracked down a police officer. We explained the situation, our concern that an elderly woman might be injured or ill inside her house. The police office called the fire department. One look at Bag Lady's fortress of a fence as well as the cluttered yard occupied by two excited dogs, and the fireman decided to take his ladder through the adjoining yard which was open and clear. Leaning the ladder against the house, he climbed up far enough to see inside the window. No further investigation was needed. Bag Lady's body lay on the floor just inside the back door.
The poignancy and sadness in learning for certain that our Bag Lady was gone for good brought to bear a sense of duty too. No one else would take over the care of her two little dogs who had been outside and alone for days on end. Surely people noticed this, but no one took action on behalf of either Bag Lady or her companions. Were it not for our fond acquaintance with their owner, they would have died from thirst and hunfer in full view of neighbors and passers-by. I like to think Bag Lady smiled down from heaven that day; and though she could not demonstrate her thanks this time, she could begin her final joyney with a peaceful spirit knowing we did not forsake her best friends in this hour of greatest need.

You've survived freshers' week and the first lectures. Perhaps you've made a few friends and have been busy sussing out the best nights out. You might even have completed your first few bits of work well before their deadlines - it's early days, after all.
But the first few weeks at university can still come as a shock, even if you’re an adventurous extrovert. Fortunately there are a number of ways students can make the most of this time and help themselves to settle into the swing of university life.
Firstly, friends are great. They can point you in the right direction when you’re lost (literally or metaphorically), provide companionship when things aren’t going to plan (and when they are) and have a myriad of other handy uses.
Secondly, don’t ignore the budget. It can be tempting to blow the whole loan when it comes through, but remember that it needs to last a lot longer than a week. Or even two.
Thirdly, don’t neglect your studies. This shouldn’t need stating of course, but while it’s acceptable to not have the same desperate dedication to duty that will (inevitably) come, giving yourself a chance from the start is always good.
Lastly, don’t forget to eat. Now as a demographic, students aren’t exactly known for their ability to whip up delicious plates of gourmet food, but food is pretty essential. All that slaving away at the library (or dancing in the student union bar) until the early hours requires brainpower – and brainpower requires fuel. Luckily, there’s more than one way to obtain delicious food than preparing it from scratch yourself. and gentlemen, we give you - Chinese takeaway restaurants and delicious Chinese food.
Takeaways are great. And there are some very good reasons for their enduring popularity, especially amongst students. They are inherently social affairs, great for bonding with new housemates. There’s no need to worry about washing up, which means no (or fewer) arguments about washing up, which is great for halls or house relations. There’s no need to worry about being judged on cooking ability, or having to eat other people’s inedible culinary offerings with a fixed grin on your face.
There are other takeaway options, of course. Who could argue with a chicken korma, a lamb rogan josh or a veggie bhuna? You might also in good conscience go for Italian, Thai, Tex-Mex or good old fish and chips. At JUST EAT we love the variety of options out there.
But even these noble contenders can be brow-beaten into submission by Chinese restaurant takeaway and Chinese food. Not only does it tap into our love of tasty, filling food, it's also typically jam-packed with vegetables and healthy spices. The balance of protein and carbohydrates and sweet and savoury flavours can help to balance blood sugar levels and keep you feeling fuller for longer. Which all aids a restful night’s sleep and helps you study more effectively. What more could you ask for?
To take advantage of our tasty offers, follow @JUSTEAT on Twitter. And remember boys and girls - play nice, eat together, don’t argue about the washing up and JUST EAT.
When will I need a TV Licence?

RMC Sport, who appear to have a direct line to whatever’s happening in Anthony Martial’s life, bring some great news to Manchester United fans, claiming the Frenchman wants to sign a new deal at the club.
The forward, who scored both of his team’s goals at the weekend in a 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, wants to continue his adventure at Old Trafford, and that’s even if José Mourinho stays beyond this season.
The relationship between the two men is said to have become ‘warmer’ over the past few weeks, and his extended game time, which he’s repaid with some goals, has made him change his mind.
RMC state the Red Devils will offer him the new deal ‘very soon’, and could see him earn somewhere in between €150k-200k/week, helped by the fact Ed Woodward is a ‘huge fan’ of the Frenchman and ‘absolutely doesn’t want him to leave’.
Martial is said to have impressed Mourinho and his staff in training over the past few weeks, and is expected to start against Juventus on Tuesday evening in the Champions League.

Hurricanes. Fires. Equipment failure. Theft. What would you do if your company’s emails, billing records, customer files, inventory reports, payroll and tax information suddenly disappeared? If you’re unsure, it’s time to create a disaster preparedness plan. Having a solid plan in place will help businesses minimize loss and disruption and return to normal operations as quickly as possible in the event of a disaster. This is especially critical for small businesses.
Work with your team leaders (office managers, IT, security, sales, etc.) to create a detailed, written plan of action that makes sense for your company. Be sure the plan includes emergency contact information for your employees, vendors, etc. You’ll also need to have a copy of your plan in a safe location outside the office.
How will everyone within your company communicate with one another in the face of a disaster? How will they ensure that everyone is safe and that each person is aware of his or her responsibility in helping to maintain operations? Hold a company-wide meeting in order to review your plan in detail. Ensure that all employees—from the receptionist to the CEO and those that work part time or remotely—receive both an electronic version and a printed copy. Any time the plan changes, be sure to let everyone know. As for new employees, the disaster recovery plan should be part of their initial employment training.
Obviously, preparation is critical for your internal team; however, your hardware, software, facilities, and service vendors are critical to your operations as well. Be sure you can get in touch with them—chances are you’ll need to. For example, what if you have products shipped to your office? Are your vendors willing and able to ship them elsewhere? Most likely, they will bend over backwards to assist you, but to do so, they must know the plan first.
The ability to communicate with employees and customers until your business is up and running is paramount to any disaster preparedness plan. Do you have another location where key employees can conduct critical business functions in the event of a disaster? Ideally, you would identify at least two separate locations, one of which is at least an hour away from your current location.
Disasters tend to strike when they are least expected, instantly wiping out a significant amount of data. Small businesses say that data is their most valuable asset, but unfortunately, many small businesses only back up files once or twice a month, a procedure that can result in tremendous loss. Online backup is the best way to ensure you get all your files back easily in the event of a disaster.
Make sure you find a service that works automatically and continually in the background. Doing so can do more than save you money; it can literally save your company. Look for a service that transmits your protected files offsite to secure severs to ensure your files safe from theft, fire, spills, power spikes, power outages, physical accidents and just about anything else that might happen in your office.
The internet is not always available. A good data backup service should be prepared to assist you if this is the case. Should you find yourself in this situation, you will want to have a service that can ship you a portable hard drive containing all of your backed up files. It’s also critical that the service offers high-caliber customer support so that you can be walked through the process of recovering your files.
What if your top executives are unreachable during the time of disaster? In addition to an offsite crisis meeting and work place(s) for employees, it is vital to select and train additional employees to perform emergency operations in their absence.
Practice makes perfect. While it may generate some eye-rolling, companies that walk through a simulation have a far greater chance of successful recovery. Employees are less likely to panic when they are familiar with the plan. And even more importantly, a simulation allows flaws to be noticed—and fixed—before disaster strikes.
The plan outlined here is do-it-yourself, but it may make sense for you to bring on professionals for some elements, such as IT and security – and remember that Carbonite’s SMB team is always available to small businesses as a resource. With affordable, annual pricing, Carbonite is friendly to your SMB budget. You can try Carbonite free for 30 days here.

Listen to "Rich People Problems: A Novel" on your iOS and Android device.
I love how the story ends and excellent narrator!
Enjoyed this Novel so much that I couldn’t stop listening to it.
Liked the book though not the narrator as much as the one who did “Crazy Rich Asians”. The trilogy of books is great.
Loved the book, didn’t love the narrator...I wish they’d kept the narrator from Crazy Rich Asians instead of changing! Great book & series!
I love the whole all 3 books Narration was excellent on all books.
Fun story to listen to while I sew.

If you need a small business loan to buy a business, you would do well to visit the BizBuySell.com lending center. They can prequalify you for an SBA small business loan, which makes it easier to buy a business. Sellers can also prequalify for an SBA loan, which makes it easier to attract buyers.
Getting a small business loan from the SBA just got a little easier.
A new service from BizBuySell.com helps provide financing to entrepreneurs who are looking to buy or sell a business.
By partnering with leading small business financial services institutions, BizBuySell.com has launched an online Lending Center that will help novice and experienced entrepreneurs obtain financing.
The new BizBuySell Lending Center gives buyers and sellers access to pre-qualification for U.S. Small Business Administration loans.
Potential buyers and sellers can visit the Financing page on the BizBuySell Web site to begin the loan pre-qualification process.
The feature can help create a more efficient small business marketplace in which qualified and serious small business buyers and sellers identify themselves by opting into a process of SBA pre-qualification.
As a result, successful deals can close more easily and frequently.
Those looking to buy a business can use the Lending Center to see if they can obtain an SBA loan up to a specific amount. This allows the buyer to get a better sense of how much they can afford in a business purchase.
The feature allows small business buyers to show business owners that they are serious about purchasing a business and willing to do the legwork of being pre-qualified, assuring sellers of their legitimacy and ability to finance a deal.
Sellers can also prequalify for an SBA loan.
BizBuySell users who are listing a business for sale can benefit from loan pre-qualification by making their business more attractive to potential buyers, and lowering the chance that they will have to provide seller-financing to make the deal happen.
SBA pre-qualified sellers can provide buyers with assurance of legitimacy surrounding financials, as well as assist buyers in obtaining financing more easily.
Seller financing is one of the biggest barriers preventing small business transactions from closing.
The loan center also helps borrowers prepare for the application process by outlining SBA loan requirements, explaining how SBA lending works and specifying what lenders look for.
Have you ever been pre-qualified for an SBA loan? Please share your thoughts and your experiences.

Ikea has already introduced a small hydroponic system designed to let you grow lettuce on your kitchen countertop. The company’s innovation lab, Space10, has also experimented with a flatpack urban farm that can fit in your backyard. The collaboration with Dixon will likely extend these ideas to make it easier to grow plants in the city, where space is at a premium. Ikea will need to figure out how to maximize the amount of food production in the smallest possible footprint, since people’s living spaces are shrinking as the population of cities is growing.
Only then could growing your own food in a tiny apartment be more than just a trendy pastime.

Currently, over 40 million people suffer from anxiety, but when you extrapolate it to include other negative emotional states, that number becomes increasingly larger. Breathing exercises can have a profound effect on altering a broad range of negative emotional states for patients.
A study done recently gave 128 participants $40 a week for three weeks and told them that they were allowed to either spend the entire amount on themselves or they spend it on someone else. After the people in the study made their choice and spent their money, they measured the individual’s blood pressure. When the participants spent the money on themselves, what researchers found was that their blood pressure went up. When they spent the money on someone else, their blood pressure went down. What they also found was that when the participants used the money to buy something for a family member, then the health benefits were even greater.
In another study, researchers used an economic game to examine the health benefits of generosity by giving each participant in the study cash, and the participants were told that they could either keep the money or they could donate it. After the participants had made their decision, researchers measured the amount of cortisol hormone through taking salivary samples. Cortisol is a hormone in the body that is released during times of stress. When they asked the people in the study how they felt about their decision, those who chose to keep the money felt shameful and had a spike in their cortisol levels, indicating that not being generous increased their levels of stress.
Numerous studies prove that stress is something that can significantly worsen chronic and acute health conditions. Therefore, being generous isn’t just about making the world a better place, it is about making a healthier new you. If you want to gain some health benefits to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and help to increase your overall well being, be kind to someone on a daily basis.
