Thanks for reporting this! I've logged the bug from the saves attached seeing the fire rate issue and will get it to the devs to investigate. Appreciate it being brought to our attention!
I do not know if this bug is exclusive to guns. They are the only weapons I've been able to test for this issue. Testing on other weapons with a reload- + attack-speed of less than 3 sec would be desireable.
1a. Load the attacher savegame.
1b. Create a Ranger with max dex and proficiency in pistols. Level him up enough to aquire the gunnery passive. Aquire 3 pistols, and equip 2 in one set and 1 in the other.
2. Enter combat with the 2 preloaded pistol set activated.
3. Fire the initial salvo with a total combined attack-speed of 1,3 sec (in my save, I'll be defaulting to my saved numbers from her on), and observe it working in approximated accordance with tool-tips.
4. Activate the pistol-modal for a combined attack-speed of 2,5 sec. Observe it fireing at a frequency of ~3,5 sec, not in accordance with tool-tips.
5. Switch to single pistol and activate the pistol-modal, for a combined attack-speed of 2,8 sec. Observe it fireing at a frequency of ~3,5 sec, not in accordance with tool-tips.

And have ~4sec between shoots.
Having a similar problem myself, made a Swashbuckler with the black jacket fighter variant, and while weapon switching works as expected, reloading doesn't, even reloading from stealth still lasts the same amount of time as it does when reloading without stealth. I was able to get pistol reload down to .6 seconds when stealthed and it was the same speed as it was without stealth, and the reload modal.
I've seen it mentioned on other threads, but not addressed by any developer directly. It's a shame, I really wanted my first character to be a pistol user, and I feel very bad about wanting to play until it's addressed.
Has the new patch fixed this bug?
I created my second character, a monk/ranger, right after I found the unique hat which grants -20% reload time. I thought swift flurry + dual blunderbuss(the kitchen stove can give extra bounces) + bounce would be cool, but the attack frequency was lower than I had expected and I ended up using spearcaster which grants extremely high accuracy and cool on-hit effect.
First I thought it would be the long attack time which gives me wrong impression because it can only be reduced by DEX.
But after some tests with high dex and pistol modal I realised that it was definitely a bug that makes pistol and blunderbuss to attack slower than displayed in tooltip.
Maybe I'll try blunderbuss streetfighter later if they fix this bug, now I can only use blunderbuss modal for flanking myself and switch weapon, anyway high INT + low RES can do the job well.
I don't think Arquebus is unaffected by this.
I tested Arquebus(to 1,9 sec reload time) and Xbow(to 1.4 sec) , and the reload time capped at ~3 sec, both of them.
They seem to be faster than pistol because they have better base attack time (0,7 vs 1.1) and it is hard to make reload time lower than 3 seconds.
You can tested yourself by adding ApplyStatusEffect Playername Streetfighter_SE_RecoveryBonus to get additional -50% bonus.
For example "ApplyStatusEffect Companion_Maia(Clone) Streetfighter_SE_RecoveryBonus".
My conclusion: reload time(regardless which weapon) capped at ~3 sec.

Do you follow a budget? Need some help to get started?
No, budgets are not attractive, fun or exciting in any way shape or form. They are, however, the necessary evil that can assist in getting you and your family’s spending and saving habits back on track. It’s difficult to understand why more individuals don’t already adhere to a budget, what with the economic crisis and unemployment still looming above us. It would seem that the majority of individuals without a budget either don’t think they need one, are unaware of its benefits, or simply don’t like discussing or even thinking about their financial situation.
The unfortunate part about that last point is the fact that implementing a personal or family budget can help dig those individuals out of the financial holes they’ve already put themselves in. And the best part? It’s ridiculously easy to do. From writing everything down on your own to downloading or purchasing budget software, technology has made it extremely simple to execute.
In 2013, as the U.S. economy continued to stabilize, Americans gave an estimated $335.17 billion to charity. That’s almost $19 billion more than the previous year.

Walk This Way therapy courses specialise in working with children, teenagers and adults that are both post op SDR and pre op SDR. We work with other types of Cerebral Palsy but we are the only SDR specific training centre in the UK & the USA where we have been working with SDR related children for 5 years. During this time we have built up an international client list of over 400 clients that myself and my team members work with. Our techniques are focused, specific and designed to strengthen and condition the body to be able to move more freely and with more control. We work very closely with Dr Park and Deanna Walters at St Louis Children’s Hospital in the USA. After visiting the Children’s Hospital and working alongside their therapists it was encouraging to see just how similar our approach and training methods are.
We concentrate on strengthening the muscle weakness and then teach the body how to move better by focusing on biomechanics and movement based training . We are very focused on MOVEMENT and increasing functional Gain.
Each client we work with is treated as an individual. We do this firstly by assessing each person on day one and watching them move and play. Day one is important as it sets the tone for the rest of the course as it gives us a chance to chat to the clients and the parents about any issues or concerns, this gives us a much better understanding of the issues we are facing and allows us to tailor a course to their specific needs.
On completion of your course you don’t leave us empty handed. You get a workout to follow at home and this ensures we can keep progressing you forwards and you don’t slip back. The home programme is key to the success as it is based around what we have just worked on in the course and allows progression for the next time we see you.
Our intensive Therapy courses are 1 or 2 weeks long. We prefer 2 weeks the first time we see you as it can take a few days to settle in and allows us to find the perfect structure for going home.
We don’t do more than 2 weeks due to the nature of what we do. Our courses are very intensive and stressful on the body and mind of the person we are working with, any longer than 2 weeks and we will start to move backwards. One of the reasons our “therapy” is so successful is that our approach is different, as is our mindset. We look at the person from a different perspective with a different background.
We also give advice on diet & nutrition to make sure you’re getting enough fuel into your body to grow muscle and keep yourself going. We like to take every opportunity to help move each client forwards and we believe that if the diet is not correct we are never going to allow the body to grow and repair itself.

If you tend to have aches and pains or chronic tension in your muscle tissue that you just can’t seem to resolve, it’s possible you may have trapped emotions that are causing you physical discomfort. This is known as a psychosomatic symptom (interaction of mind and body) in which stress-related emotions or thoughts cause physical ailments.
Many of us carry trapped, unprocessed emotions within several areas of our bodies and we never know it, in fact, we can go years with this blocked energy that our muscles cling to, which can ultimately lead to chronic physical pain.
Emotions emit a vibrational energy field into our bodies – peace, love and joy are among the top vibrational energies whereas grief, apathy and shame are lower on the vibrational scale and spread negative energy in the body.
Research has proven that within the first few seconds of experiencing a negative emotion, people automatically tense the muscles in their jaw and around the eyes and mouth. A negative feeling can instantly causes a loss of 50% of the body’s muscle strength and it also narrows our vision both mentally and physically. It’s no coincidence that when you feel unmotivated you are usually experiencing low vibrational emotions.
Our thoughts have a profound impact on how we feel in our physical body so it’s important to be mindful and take care of negative emotions as they arise.
When we have acute negative feelings, the best way to cope is to “feel it to heal it”: you might cry, vent, or even scream but allowing yourself to express the emotion will help it pass. It will also keep tension out of your muscle tissue. Don’t bottle it up and store it in the body.
If you have chronic negative feelings or repressed emotions that have never been processed, this will require a bit more work as you will have to access your emotional memory and dig up the remains to express them. Trapped emotions need to be expressed; they are looking for a way out of the body: this is where your work comes in to heal those energy fields and allow them to pass through you. You can achieve this through counseling, therapy, meditation, journaling, and even expressing through art.
Using a personal mantra or chant can help with both repressed and acute emotions. Just speaking out loud your intention to “let go” of whatever it is you’re feeling. Say the words, “I choose to let go of this anger” and repeat it until you gain power of your true self in the midst of emotional discomfort. You will help navigate the energy away from you instead of identifying with it and letting it make a home in your physical body, causing muscular discomfort and pain as well as many other health issues.

Bacon Flammenküche ($18) is a German-style pizza topped with mozzarella, toasted smoked streaky bacon, chopped onions, peppers and bechamel. I liked that the pizza crust was thin and crisp and it is covered with all my favourite toppings. The ingredients are simple, but the flavours work well together. One thing for sure, it's gonna be great with beer!
For the portion, the quality of ingredients, and that slab of barramundi, I would say you're getting your money's worth with this one.
Available on the all-day breakfast and brunch menu, the French Toast ($14) is a popular item and well loved items. Brioche is dipped in a mixture of egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, before a quick bath in the pan. Fresh Tahitian vanilla pod is infused with honey for 4 hours in a water bath to create a lovely vanilla-infused honey which complements the soft brioche that also comes with mandarin yogurt and fresh berries. If you're looking for something sweet to round off your meal, or a light brunch fix that is refreshing, this might be perfect for you.
SPRMRKT is exceptionally popular with the office crowd, but do you know that they're open for brunch on weekends too?

Rajaji National Park is a beautiful reserve to the east of Haridwar. It is famous as an elephant habitat and also harbours the mountain goat, goral. Part of the awe-inspiring Shivalik ranges in Uttarakhand, these forests at the foothills that comprise Rajaji are endowed with Sal trees and bamboo shoots. Finally notified in 1984, Rajaji has been at the helm of trouble, beginning right from the issue of notification. The Gujjar tribals, prevented from migrating northwards, live in Rajaji throughout the year collecting forest produce, adding to the natural stress due to landslides and soil erosion. Threatened elephant corridors and ill-located army ammunition camps all add to the problems. The future of Rajaji hangs by a slender noose-the very baan rope that is made from the bhabar grass harvested from the reserve? The jury would have to step intao Rajaji before they pronounce their verdict.
The park is open from mid-November to mid-June. Winters are the most pleasant time to visit the park i.e. between November and March, when the temperature ranges between 20-250C during the day. In summer, temperatures can be as high as 480C. During winter, making it convenient to visit the park. The park remains closed in the rainy season, when there is an average 750 mm. of rainfall.
Sanctuary Asia encourages sustainability in travel, so you can choose from one of the TOFTigers, PUG eco-certified lodges in the park vicinity and help sustain this destination.
There are ten Forest Rest Houses within and around the Park. Besides these, there are also many private hotels and tourists complexes around Rajaji National Park and at Haridwar, Rishikesh, Dehradun and Mussoorie. So accommodation is not a problem in this reserve.
Chilla Tourist Rest House (5 suites): This establishment is run by the Garwhal Mandal Vikas Nigam. Electricity is available. Besides rooms and dorms, camping on the grounds is also a possibility.
Ranipur Forest Rest House (2 suites with electricity) and Motichur Forest Rest House (2 suites with electricity) are other options.
Phandowala Forest Rest House (2 suites with electricity) is closest from the Ramgarh gate, while Satyanarian Forest Rest House lies on Haridwar- Dehradun route (4 suites with electricity).
Asarodi Forest Rest House is located on the Dehradun-Delhi highway (2 suites with electricity), while Beribara Forest Rest House (2 suites. No electricity) is the nearest to the entry gate at Ranipur.
For bookings contact: Chief Forest officer or the Director, Rajaji National Park at Dehradun. Bookings can also be made on-line at www.rajajinationalpark.com followed by telephonic confirmation.
By Air: The Jolly Grant Airport (24 km.) is nearest to the northern border of the Park. A daily flight from here to Delhi takes barely 50 minutes.
By Rail: Sahranpur is the closest railhead that is well-connected to Delhi (187 km.), Calcutta (1,527 km.), Amritsar (337 km.), Lucknow (573 km.) and Jammu (473 km.).
By Road: Rajaji is accessible from several places. The Dehradun, Doiwala, Rishikesh, Haridwar State Highway is the most preferred road since one can access the Ramgarh, Motichur, Kunao and Chilla forests through this route. The Moradabad, Haridwar State Highway and the Delhi-Dehradun State Highway are other options. From Haridwar, buses leave everyday at 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. from Garwhal Motor Owners Union [GMOU] and return at 12 noon and 4 p.m.
Taxis can be hired from near the UP Roadways bus stand. Share taxis can be used at Rs. 10 per passenger. The driver should be informed of the time you intend to spend within the park. The approach into the park could be through the Ramgarh gate [14 km. from Dehradun] or the Mohand gate [25 km. from Dehradun], both of which can be reached via the Delhi-Dehradun highway. The Ranipur and Motichur gates [9 km. each from Haridwar] can be approached from the Haridwar-BHEL Mohand Road and the Haridwar-Rishikesh highway respectively. The Chilla gate is also approximately 9 km. from Haridwar and can be reached via the road to Rishikesh. The Laldhang gate is 25 km. from Kotdwara while the Kunao gate is 6 km from Rishikesh on the Rishikesh-Pashulok road.
On bicycle or on foot: You could cycle 13 km. to Chilla from Haridwar. The walk from Haridwar is across the Laltarao Bridge and then takes a left from the roundabout onto the Rishikesh road. Turn right just before the cable bridge over the Ganges canal. Cross the dam you reach a 100 m. away and turn left toward the artificial lake from where the road leads to Chilla, at a distance of about five kilometres.
Entry fees are payable at the Forest Ranger's office, which is also close to the tourist bungalow at Chilla. Jeeps are available from Chilla to the park.

The park is most renowned for its elephants. The mountain goat, goral is another noteworthy resident. It is mainly confined to the precipitous pine-covered slopes. Besides the huge pachyderms and the nimble goats, you might come across huge herds of chital, sometimes as many as 250 to a herd.
Sambar, barking deer, hog deer, nilgai, wild pigs and sloth bears also inhabit these forests though you may not always catch a glimpse of these. The rhesus macaque and the common langur are fairly common here. Tigers and leopards are the prime predators in Rajaji. The leopard cat, jungle cat, civet and yellow-throated marten are other carnivores. Mammals like the hyena, jackal and the Bengal fox scavenge in the park. The Himalayan black bear though uncommon, can be sighted in the higher reaches of the park.
Several species of anurans, that describe toads and frogs, exist in the park. Uperodon systoma, Polypedates maculatus and Rana crassa are recorded from this park. The breeding pattern of bufonids shows interesting peculiarities. B. stomaticus and B.melanostictus breed in July-August on the northern slopes while the same species breed right until November on the southern slopes. Polypedates maculates which lives in hollows of trees, breeds only in July.
Porcupines, pythons and king cobras also share these environs. As many as twenty-eight species of snakes along with twelve species of turtles and tortoises and nine species of lizards, including the Indian monitor lizard thrive here. Golden mahseer exist in the Ganges, though these are greatly threatened by illegal netting.
Scolid wasps are the main insects and as many as 13 species have been recorded, five of which are new to all of Uttarakhand. 60 different species of butterflies in vivid colours flutter around in the park.
Rajaji boasts of more than 315 species of birds. Chestnut-headed, Bluetailed, Green and Blue-bearded Bee-eaters are found here. Five species of kingfishers include the Himalayan Pied, Lesser Pied, Small Blue, Stork-billed and White-throated. You can often see hornbills and junglefowls, especially the Red Junglefowl in these forests. Over 40 species of waterbirds visit the Ganges every winter. Cormorants, crows, the drongo, egrets, lapwings and nightjars, as well as owlets, partridges, pheasants, pond herons and treepies are some of the birds that you may see. India's National bird, the Peafowl is found in these habitats in plenty.
Rajaji is part of the Shivalik ecosystem that falls within the districts of Bijnor, Haridwar, Pauri Garhwal and Dehradun in Uttar Pradesh. Rajaji, Motichur and Chilla sanctuaries in combination, form the Rajaji National Park that covers 820 sq. km. in the foothills. The Ganga divides Chilla in the east and Rajaji-Motichur in the west. The Shivaliks consist predominantly of clay with coarse-grained, dull sandstone and brown shale. Geologically, the Shivaliks are made up of vast alluvium deposits, brought by the river and glacial actin from the Himalayas, millions of years ago. The deposits were then thrown up as mountain ranges through tectonic activity.

The Shivaliks are characterised by multi-layered forest vegetation, somewhat sparse in the upper tracts with low-density forests and grasses, lower down in the bhabhar plains. The northern slopes are dominated by Sal forests and in the south, there is mixed tree vegetation with bamboo, shrubs and grasses in the sub-canopy layers. Sal also occurs in the middle and lower southern slopes. The traditional bamboo Dendrocalamus strictus flowered in the 1960s. There has almost been no regeneration thereafter.
Two endangered plant species, Catamixis bracharoides exclusive to the Shivaliks and Eremostachys superba, seen only in Rajaji, are found here.
Baki Anogeissue latifolia, sain Terminalia tomentosa, haldu Adina cordifolia, behra Terminalia ballerica, jhingan Lannea coromandelica, kharpat Garuga pinnata, phauri Lagerstromia parviflora, bula Kydia calycina, badal Stereospermum chelonoides, sofed sirus Albizzia procera, tun Cadrela tonna, gutel Trewia nudiflora, gular Ficus glomerata are the prominent plant species. Sterculia villosa has bright scarlet flowers that add a dash of colour to the earthy surroundings. The bark of this tree is the elephant's favourite food.
The undergrowth is made up of karaunda Carissa opaca, gandhala Murraya koenigil and marorphali Helicteres isora. The grasses include Gorla Cyryspogon fuivus, Kummeeria Heteropogon contortus etc. Lantana camara, Adhatoda vasica and Colebrookia oppositifolia form over 50 percent of the shrub community. Weeds like Cassia tora and Parthenium histerophorus form half of the herb species. Fruit trees include ber Zizyphus mauritiana, amla Phyllanthes emblica and fig Ficus religiosa.
Entry into the park is not permitted after dusk. So it is best to move around within the park during the mornings and late afternoons and you never know, but you might be lucky enough to see some splendid animals. Travel a kilometre from the entrance gate to the park to an old machan, once used by hunters, but now provided as a useful place for visitors to watch for the park's various dwellers.
Visit tribal villages in the park, where Gujjars living in rustic clay huts tend buffaloes. They are sure to be generous with bowls of fresh, warm buffalo milk.
5 km. from Chilla towards Haridwar is an artificial lake where you might see several migratory birds, including Black Stork, Grey Wagtail, ducks and other water birds. Wild elephants drink at this pool at dusk.
The Bindevasani village is located 14 km. northeast of Chilla, on the Chilla-Rishikesh road. A 15-minute steep climb from the village leads to a Durga temple that also offers a splendid view of the confluence of the Bindedhara and Nildhara rivers.
Proceed 14 km. north of Bindevasani to Nilkantha where there is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Further from Nilkantha, Lakshman Jhula is the suspension bridge across the Ganges that leads to Rishikesh. It is believed to be the place where Lord Rama's brother Lakshman crossed the Ganges on a jute rope.
The Kumbh Mela is held, once every twelve years in the holy city of Haridwar. Situated on the banks of the Ganga, it houses the famous Bharat Mata temple and the Gurukul Kangri University. Har-ki-Pauri, built by King Vikramaditya is a sacred bathing ghat on the Ganges.
Dehradun is a pleasant and scenic town, at a height of 2,200 feet that is especially favoured by tourists.
Official vehicles are not available within the park, so if you attempt to come without your private vehicle or hired taxi, it could cause some difficulty.
Do not attempt night driving within the park since this is not only against the rules but is also not safe. Fishing too is prohibited inside the park.
Carry a camera for the park affords fine photographic opportunity.
You can contact the Director of the Park for bookings and entry permits. Also, before leaving the Park, make sure you collect a clearance certificate.

In 1966, 90 sq. km. of the Dehradun forests became the Motichur wildlife sanctuary. The Rajaji and Chilla wildlife sanctuaries were set up in the forest divisions of the Shivalik and the Landsowne, in 1967 and 1974 respectively. Rajaji National Park, a syncitium of these three sanctuaries was named after the first Governor-General of India, Dr. C. Rajagopalachari, who was popularly known as Rajaji. In 1983, the notification of intent to declare Rajaji National Park was issued and in 1984, Rajaji National Park was finally established as an important protected area in the terai.
Gujjars, Taungyas and Gothias are some of the tribes that inhabit these forests. Gujjars, nomadic pastorals, are believed to have originally arrived at Rajaji as part of the dowry of a Jammu princess who was married in Sirmaur, in what we now know as Himachal Pradesh. They settled in the forests in huts called deras and were allotted sections of the forest called kholes for each family, where they are permitted to lop leaves of certain fodder trees between November and March, after which the Gujjars annually migrate to the Himalayas for the summer. They are polygamous and followers of Islam.

If you want to save money over buying a Monitor 4, or if you just enjoy building electronic kits, then you can purchase this kit to build your own Monitor 4 Geiger Counter. The re-designed Monitor 4 Kit involves minimal soldering and assembly.
Also note that your kit provides for do-it-yourself calibration that will not rival the quality of calibration performed on a factory built Monitor 4, and instead give you accuracy of only ± 20%, versus ± 10% for the factory built and calibrated Monitor 4.
Along those same lines, in choosing to build the kit, you will not benefit from the warranty attached to the factory built Monitor 4. Other than that, solder away!
Add the Monitor 4 Kit to the Shopping Cart. It is also available in a dual-scale meter that reads in µSv/hr (in lieu of CPM), in addition to mR/hr. So please specify which meter configuration you wish to order.

A new bill by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ro Khanna(D-Calif.) is intended to force companies to share some of the tax benefits with workers.
The House will not pass it; the Senate would never touch it; and, Donald Trump would surely veto the bill if, by some miracle, it was brought to his desk. Nonetheless, the bill does highlight the failure of corporations to share their bounty with workers.

There were quite a few empty seats in Helsinki Arena, by the way. But this is just the semi-finals, and a school night to boot.
UPDATED: I take it back. Some of the clips during the recaps were taken from rehearsal. I figured this out when I saw Magda wearing a different tank-top during her clip.
UPDATED AGAIN: I was right the first time, according to the BBC (who include a picture of Sopho in its article).
Anyway, I had to go to class before the results were announced. I’m home now and getting caught up. Here is the running order for Saturday’s final. Tonight’s semifinal winners are highlighted; the rest are the countries with the bye to the final.
About the only thing I can say is that I underestimated how beloved opera still is in Europe. Other than that, and Moldova going through, I don’t have a huge problem with these results.
Incidentally, I just remembered that they don’t do the elaborate voting procedure during the semis that they use in the finals. They just announce who is moving on. I will pretend Poland got a nil vote, anyway.
UPDATED: As it turns out, Poland ended up with 75 points, which disturbs me. The Czech Republic only got 1 point, from Estonia. That’s still one more than Jemini got.

There is a lot you can do to rank well in the search engines, although it requires a long term strategy, and you need to continually monitor your positioning. Search engine marketing is a specialist field but a good internet consultant or marketing specialist with experience with internet promotion should be able to get you well ranked within a reasonable amount of time.
Standards-based coding - Your site should be well coded, and utilise current best practice coding standards. Latest standards lead to a high content-to-code ratio, and these standards are also designed to make it easier for automated systems (such as websites and search engines) to communicate with each other (a concept known as the semantic web ).
Page content optimisation - Ideally each page on your website should be optimised for at least one key search term (try to stick to only one per page) that you believe your target audience will be searching for. The most important factors here are the text in your title, the content of the first and last paragraph, the density ratio of your chosen keywords to other words on the page, the usage of synonyms of your optimised term, the value of the content to your target audience, which words are bolded and italicised, the use of text in subheadings, usage of meta tagis (yes, these do still play a role, even if it's not the same as what it used to be), links to other pages and the text used for these links.
Links from reputable websites - A major factor in ranking algorithms, especially with Google and Yahoo, is the number of links to your pages from sites that have a high reputation already, and the context of these links. Think of this as a voting system, where respected members of the community get more votes than the average Joe. There are strategies that can be employed to acquire these, as long as you are able to provide valuable content as an incentive.
The big three - The three major search engines to focus on are, in order of market share: Google, Yahoo and MSN, with others making up the rest, although other search engines very often licence one of these three. With effective internet promotion strategies in place, combined with an optimised site, you should be able to see first page results fairly quickly on MSN (1-2 months), less so for Yahoo (3-5 months), and Google (6 or more). These are very rough guidelines, since uncompetitive search terms will rank almost immediately on all search engines. More competitive terms can take a really long time, and a lot of work to rank well. The above describes my experience with average to above-average search terms.
Link baiting - Link-baiting, or providing valuable content and/or online services, tools, etc that are in demand, is a very effective method of getting people to link to your site. This has a dual benefit in that you get more people visiting from followed links, and search engines see your popularity as growing (which it is).
Link structure - The link structure of your site is also quite important. The reason for this is quite mathematical in basis, but it relates to telling search engines which pages in your site you see as most important, as well as explaining to search engines what the site is about.
Site map - Ensure that you have a site map (a list of links to all the pages on your site, with optimised link text) that is easily accessible from your front page, listing all pages on your site, and ensure that this is kept up to date.
Page URLs - Regularly check for broken links, and try not to change page URLs if you can help it. If you do, there is a method you can use to tell search engines that the page has moved, so that the "value" of the page can transfered to the new page.
Duplicate content - Avoid duplicate content, i.e exactly the same page under different URLs, or substantially copied text from another website. Search engines tend to penalise this. Try and create as much of your site content yourself, and avoid using more than one domain name for exactly the same site e.g. www.widgets.com and www.qualitywidgets.com, unless you use the method mentioned above to tell search engines that one is a new site, and the other an old one.
Search engine spamming - Be careful to avoid intentionally or unintentionally spamming search engines. As a general rule, search engines these days are able to pick up when you're trying to be deceptive by, for example, hiding text not intended for your visitors, in the hope of achieving a higher ranking. Your primary goal should always be to provide a really good site that is designed primarily for your site visitors, but in such a way that search engines also understand the value and subject matter. Never try and display one thing to a site visitor and another to a search engine, you will very likely suffer a ranking penalty for this.
Google Sitemap - Have your web developer place a Google Sitemap on your server, that gets automatically updated whenever new content is added. This tells Google about the importance and existence of pages on your site, and the relative weighting you would like them to have. An added advantage is that by doing so you get access to stats provided by Google itself relating to which pages have been indexed, which search terms you're being picked up for, and which search terms people are following to your site, as well as errors encountered, and the like.
Domain name - Your domain name should reflect your market. If you have a .com domain name, you may miss out on searches where people select "Pages from Australia" when searching. There are things you can do about this in your page code and elsewhere, to tell search engines whether you serve a global, a more specific market, or both.
Content - The bottom line is always to provide really high quality, valuable content, relevant to your target market, preferably on a relatively niched subject matter.
The list goes on, but these are some of the most important factors when working to rank your site well in the "organic", or unpaid rankings, which are also the ones people place the most trust in. Paid rankings (paying the search engine to be placed in a prominent position for particular search term) can be effective as a short term strategy, but is less effective the more competitive your product or service, and ends immediately you stop paying for it.
Launching a new business website is a major undertaking, and it is easy to forget the vital search engine optimisationi required to make your newly launched site achieve the levels of targetted traffic you'll need to pay for the costs you have put in in terms of time and money. With the right methodologies and preferably the help of a qualified internet consultant, however, you can and should start to see reasonable growth in the popularity and success of your online business.

Are you a helicopter parent or do you know someone who is? While most adults can agree that it is important to be involved in your child's life, many argue that a kid should be given room to simply be a kid. Here's how to tell if you're what's known as a helicopter parent.
The term "helicopter parents" is often used to define a group of parents who engage in the practice of over-parenting. Helicopter parents are accused of being obsessed with their children's education, safety, extracurricular activities, and other aspects of their children's lives.
Critics have scrutinized helicopter parents for overprotecting their children and for failing to instill them with a sense of independence and a can-do attitude. From infancy to college, helicopter parents are so involved in their children's lives that their careers and own interests typically take a back seat or are abandoned altogether. Helicopter parents are also accused of over-programming their children and not allowing them free time to play and explore on their own.
Helicopter parents defend their parenting practices, saying they are only looking out for their children's safety and education. They also note how they are proud to be so involved in their children's lives. It is likely that helicopter parents have been around since the beginning of parenting, but the practice of over-parenting came into its own sometime during the 1990s. It was around that time that parents were bombarded with news stories about child abductions, academic competition, and, ultimately, competition in a global economy.
Naturally, these stories scared parents. They want to protect their children from all of the dangers in the world. They also want their children to have every opportunity available to them and to excel. This created an environment in which some parents became (what seems to some others) to be over-protective and too concerned with their children's achievements. Sometimes this can be seen as overlooking the child's true happiness or driving them too hard.
Helicopter parents are common in the younger grades. They are also present in middle schools, high schools, and even at the university level. The practice of over-parenting older children can prove to be embarrassing for children. Older teens and young adults are often desperate to establish their independence and break away from their families.
There is a point where your child reaches a certain age when almost every parent must admit that they have to let go. Some parents choose to give their kids more freedom in middle and high school as they show an increase in personal responsibility.
This can be a gradual process, and with each good decision a teenager makes, they are awarded more freedom. It is a natural progression that allows them to slowly learn what it means to be an adult and make their own choices in life.
Free-range parenting is the backlash to over-parenting. Free-range parents believe that children learn best when they are allowed to make mistakes, spend time alone, and have fewer social commitments. Free-range kids typically have a lot of time devoted to play and explore, without parental or adult supervision or micromanaging.
Just as with helicopter parents, free-range parenting can be taken to an extreme. A home with few rules and no activities can lead kids to perform poorly in school, miss out on valuable social opportunities, or get into trouble. Experts will likely argue the benefits and consequences of over-parenting and free-range parenting for some time to come. This leaves parents to find the balance that's right for their families.
In all likelihood, most kids will probably excel or do very well with a parenting style that is somewhere in the middle. If they are given the opportunity to play and explore and just be a kid every now and then, a child can develop their individual personality and interests. Parents can help nurture the child's interests and find activities that they can be involved in together without over scheduling.
Of course, a child's safety is a concern for every parent and it's doubtful that either parenting style will have an argument about that. The goal of all parents is to keep their children happy and safe, some people simply approach it in a different way.

Breastcancer.org is proud to present recipes from The Family Dinner: Great Ways to Connect with Your Kids, One Meal at a Time by Laurie David and Kirstin Uhrenholdt (Grand Central Life & Style, 2010). Laurie is a very special friend and champion of Breastcancer.org. We’re pleased to share Laurie and Kirstin’s delicious, healthy recipes as part of Think Pink, Live Green!
Savory soy sauce, sweet maple syrup, and luscious salmon…all come together in a perfectly quick and delicious dinner. So good your kids will love it! So easy, you will too.
Combine the first six ingredients in a medium-sized pot and bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and has the same consistency the maple syrup had.
Cool the marinade to room temperature (you can make this in advance). Put the salmon in a small container and pour half the marinade over it, making sure the salmon is submerged. Save the rest of the marinade for a glaze.
Marinate the salmon in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, preferably 1–2 hours.
Preheat the broiler. Take the salmon out of the marinade and blot it dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Put the salmon on an oiled broiler pan if you have one; an oiled baking sheet will also work just fine.
Put the salmon under the broiler 5 to 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for about 4 minutes on each side, until the salmon is just cooked through and golden brown on top. Be careful — it does like to burn.
In the meantime, gently heat up the remaining glaze.
To check if the salmon is done, stick a pointy knife into the center of the thickest fillet, then touch the tip of the knife. If it’s warm, the salmon is ready.
Scatter some herbs on a platter, put the salmon on top, and drizzle with the warm maple soy glaze.
Laurie David is an author and producer who works on a variety of environmental, food, and agricultural issues.

Nortek Global HVAC Launches New 16 SEER Packaged Heat Pump.
New 16 SEER Packaged Heat Pump.
Model Q7RF boosts efficiency in a packaged product.
Nortek Global HVAC introduces a new 16 SEER, 12 EER, 8.2 HSPF ultra-high energy-efficient unit to its packaged heat pump line. Model Q7RF is a two-stage heat pump with all-aluminum Micro-Channel evaporator and condenser coils for lighter weight, smaller size, better durability and greater reliability in corrosive environments.
The Q7RF single-packaged heat pump system features a small footprint for ease of installation. Micro-Channel coils contribute to the smaller size of the unit, offer better heat transfer for higher efficiency and use up to 30 percent less refrigerant than systems with traditional coils.
Each unit features Nortek Global HVAC’s patented defrost process. Traditional tube-in-fin heat pumps have coil headers on the sides and defrost horizontally. But in a Micro-Channel heat pump, the coil is rotated 90 degrees so that the headers are on the top and bottom, not the sides. If the defrost started from the top down, the bottom of the coil would never defrost completely. The Nortek Global HVAC patented process adds a hot gas bypass so that hot gas goes from the top-down as well as the bottom-up, ensuring the entire coil gets defrosted.
Model Q7RF is available in the Broan®, Frigidaire®, NuTone®, and Westinghouse® brands of HVAC equipment. Similar model PPH3RF is available in the Maytag® brand. They are ENERGY STAR compliant and available in 2, 3, 4 and 5 ton capacities.
For more information about innovative Nortek Global HVAC products, contractors and distributors should visit www.nortekhvac.com.

Background: Cell motility is an essential feature of the pathogenesis and morbidity of amoebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica. As motility depends on cytoskeletal organisation and regulation, a study of the molecular components involved is key to a better understanding of amoebic pathogenesis. However, little is known about the physiological roles, interactions and regulation of the proteins of the Entamoeba cytoskeleton. Results: We have established a genetic strategy that uses parasexual genetics to allow essential Dictyostelium discoideum genes to be manipulated and replaced with modified or tagged homologues. Our results show that actin related protein 2 (Arp2) is essential for survival, but that the Dictyostelium protein can be complemented by E. histolytica Arp2, despite the presence of an insertion of 16 amino acids in an otherwise highly conserved protein. Replacement of endogenous Arp2 with myc-tagged Entamoeba or Dictyostelium Arp2 has no obvious effects on growth and the protein incorporates effectively into the Arp2/3 complex. Conclusion: We have established an effective two-step method for replacing genes that are required for survival. Our protocol will allow such genes to be studied far more easily, and also allows an unambiguous demonstration that particular genes are truly essential. In addition, cells in which the Dictyostelium Arp2 has been replaced by the Entamoeba protein are potential targets for drug screens.

When I want to try a lilypond snippet using Frescobaldi, I normally create a new file and I compile it without save it explicitly. Frescobaldi saves it for me in a temporary folder (in my Frescobaldi settings I have "Save the document if possibile" checked).
I'm writing a small program that make some processing on the lilypond source file and the pdf/png file and I would need this path information.
Does Frescobaldi writes this path in any (log) file? Alternatively, is there any way to make Frescobaldi/lilypond writing the compile result in a file as well as in the lilypond log window?
I'm not sure what you want to achieve here.
It might be possible to access the information you are looking from through a Frescobaldi Snippet (which may be written in Python), but could you state more explicitly what your "small program" should be doing with your unsaved LilyPond code?
The goal of my small application is save the snippet and the generated score. When I press a shortcut key, the snippet source file and the png (or pdf) is put online etc. etc.
I can, of course, compile and manually copy and past the path I see in the lilypond log window, but I would like to make this programmatically.
Please let me know if I have been clear.
after your message I found in the Frescobaldi documentation the variable $FILE_NAME. This can be used in a snippet to get the full name (including path) of the file. Unfortunately it returns the document file name only if you previously explicitly saved the file. Uhm.... I think I will try something different.
Yes, without looking again in the source code I assume that $FILE_NAME accesses the corresponding property of the text editor. And that only has a file name when the document is actually a file on disk. The temporary file name used for compiling unsaved scores is generated in a totally different location (of the Frescobaldi code).
I don't have the time to really think this through this weekend.
But I still don't fully understand why you don't want to save the score to an explicit file. I assume that at one point, e.g. when you deploy files to a web server you will have to use some fixed files and filenames, don't you?
Have a Frescobaldi snippet with keyboard shortcut that will trigger some external script and pass that script the file name.
This external script can do everything you need with the LilyPond code.
Is that suggestion of any help?

Tinfoil works in the garden so I tried it behind my plant shelves, which wasn’t ideal. It was, however, better than tinfoil on the walls which was rather, Aliens Beware!
Avocados, Tinfoil and Compost ~ Read more.
I ordered Decorator reflective wallpaper samples ~ squares to the right in the picture. $250 minimum order, though.
Orca Grow Film to the rescue… I hope.
Orca Reflective Film was developed for use in hydroponics (growing plants in water). It’s highly reflective, using the crystalline structure of snowflakes. Think about how bright it is when there’s new snow.
Orca has a 99% Diffuse Surface: It’s microfiber structure creates even light distribution regardless of the angle at which the light hits it. The resulting “isotropic surface luminance” eliminates hot spots and the need to hang it perfectly flat. Sounds good to me!
With an inch of air between Orca and the wall, Orca conserves heat. Or, so they say.
Here you can see some Orca Reflective Film Wall Covering busily reflecting light, as well as the furring strips used to separate the Orca from the outside wall, for its effective insulating quality.
Orca sure looks a LOT better than tinfoil!
November 19, 2011 ~ At right is a photo I took around 8:30 a.m. I don’t have any full spectrum lights on because the sun isn’t yet high enough for my solar to provide the energy. The Orca reflects light from both walls now.
I think I’m going to cover the fireplace screen with Orca and move my pot of onions up onto the hearth bench.
Okay, I’m totally enamoured. And, I think my plants love it as well.
Orca distributes light extremely well.
Orca Reflective Film surpasses other reflective wall coverings.
There is a vast amount of information available on the Orca site.
January 17, 2012 – Both avocados are under my new T5s and are transplanted into huge pots with clay at the bottom so water does not flow right out into the tray, leaving the top of the pot bone dry while the bottom is awash in stagnant water. I transplanted really carefully.
A full spectrum lamp fell on the avocado that grew from seed. The light burned the avocado’s leaves. Just when it recovered I planted celery safir around it because it was so small in the huge pot, but the celery’s aggressive roots nearly choked the little avocado to death, not to mention taking most of the water.
The little leaves branching out, bottom left, are its major hope. The larger leaves on the right appear to have died, perhaps of damping off.
While the little marks aren’t big, as they multiply they reduce the effectiveness of the Orca… so… I’m having insulation slipped into the airspace. The insulation is $8 a sheet from Home Depot and is really easy to cut w/ a steak knife.
The insulation is slightly thicker than the furring strip so we didn’t staple it to the strip. The insulation seemed firmly in place simply because it’s so light and the Orca is stapled at top and bottom.
You can see one of my candles under a Farberware chef’s pan, happily creating heat in my living room.
My infrared thermometer batteries never arrived so I wasn’t able to study the difference the insulation made. Darn it! Oh well. On the other hand it was easy to see that it stopped the little jelly fish patterns from forming which was my main objective. Happiness!!!
This is my T5 from Gardener’s Supply, my dark, navy blue velvet curtains replaced by Thermalogic insulated curtains in sage stripe and the Orca making a big splash of light!
Can I store heat from full spectrum lamps?
November 20, 2011 ~ I wonder if heat from my full spectrum lamps can be stored in the pots they shine light on.
11:30 a.m. My full spectrum lamps have heated their shades to about 86 degrees. The soil in the pots beneath the lights is about 48 degrees. A small tin can filled with clay and pennies (copper) with a clear plastic lid is 51.6 degrees with the soil around it 48 degrees. A tin can with crumpled tin foil, sprayed black, inside with a clear plastic lid was 51.6 degrees shortly after I sank it into the soil in the pot, but a few minutes later it’s temperature had dropped 1 degree. I would guess the soil absorbed the heat.
I have a similar sized pot of onions which I’m not going to try to heat using the full spectrum lights. It will be my control.
1:00 p.m. Not what I expected. The control pot is just as warm on its outside as my two pots testing methods of changing light into heat. Of the two pots, the pennies in dry clay have heated the soil around the tin can about 2 degrees more than the tin foil painted black in a tin can. I wonder if the control pot is warmer because it’s 6 feet further into my living room, and away from the French doors to my deck.
December 19, 2010 ~ My avocados and I are happy!
When I couldn’t find another Don Gillogly avocado to order I planted a seed from a grocery avocado with a small pit. The avocado seedling was larger but a full spectrum lamp fell and burned its early growth. On the top edges of the photo you can see my celery. The very small plants are lettuce.
In this picture of my Don Gillogly from Parks ~~ you see its large pot. It looks happy under its full spectrum lamp. The grass-like plants around it are onions.
What amazes me is that the two huge pots have raised the temperature in here by about 10 degrees. The pots must hold the heat. And, the white lamps are as warm as the tins over my candles. The black lamps heat to about ten degrees warmer. The heat is a lovely bonus!

Blue Planet was recognized as the “SDN Technology of the Year” at the Informa Network Virtualization and SDN World Conference in London.
If you listen to the pundits and incumbent hardware vendors, they will tell you that SDN and it’s use in the network is years away, because “the network is too complex to virtualize or orchestrate.” KVH has proven otherwise.
Orchestration is about leveraging a dynamic and distributed network and resource fabric to deliver services, connectivity, and applications to users, on-demand, and tailored to the scale specified. Orchestration brings together service-provider, cloud infrastructure and end-users together – in concert.
Is Carrier Ethernet Enough When Flying Through Clouds?
We know that Carrier Ethernet delivers both high-performance connectivity across the WAN and scalable, standardized, highly-reliable services with QoS and service management. As a result, Carrier Ethernet is the service of choice for many applications including enterprise business connectivity, content distribution, video, wireless backhaul, financial services, and more. But, as the network transforms to meet the world of mega data centers and cloud services, a question comes to mind. Is Carrier Ethernet enough?
Despite the industry focus over the past year being predominantly around the transformation of networks through virtualization (SDN and NFV), one of the primary challenges facing network operators today that can be solved with software-control has nothing to do with virtualization but rather something far less exciting; service automation and orchestration.
The ETSI NFV ISG celebrated its first birthday yesterday here in Malaga. The NFV working groups have gathered here in beautiful southern Spain for NFV#5 to continue moving the specifications forward, aligning the work across the various working groups and to begin discussions on the evolution of the ETSI NFV ISG.
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) helps operators run network functions on standard volume COTS hardware instead of purpose built hardware and leverages standard IT virtualization and cloud technologies to reduce total cost of operation and increase the service innovation and scale.
I’m writing this on the long trip home to California from Singapore, where Cyan had participated in the 6th annual Carrier Ethernet APAC Conference – the largest Ethernet event in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. This year the show was also co-located with “SDN & NFV Asia”, a new event highlighting the exciting opportunities that software-defined networking and network functions virtualization present to regional network operators. As most of us have noticed over the past year, it’s a growing trend for telecom-related conferences to add an emphasis on SDN/NFV in order to capitalize on the intense interest surrounding these disruptive, rapidly emerging technologies.
Amazon is one of those companies that does what they say. They recently completed their examination of SDN technologies and made their deployment decision moving away from vertically integrated, expensive systems in favor of standards-based systems and software.
I was at the ETSI NFV ISG (Industry Specification Group) meeting in Sunnyvale, CA a couple of weeks ago and it was exciting to see how quickly work on NFV has progressed. The inaugural meeting for the NFV ISG was held just 10 months ago in Sophia-Antipolis, France. Since then working-group members, operators and vendors alike, have collaborated and produced ISG-level specifications covering requirements, end-to-end-architecture, use-cases, and the framework for the recently announced proof-of-concepts.

They started to arrive about eighteen months ago, an endless cascade of luxuriously quilted envelopes, thumping onto the doormat. The wedding invitations. Nothing to do with Harry and Meghan, but friends of my children. It’s that mid to late twenties age group.
It’s unstoppable, luxuriously creamy envelopes the thickness of a letter bomb containing a complex invitation. They are a triumph of paper engineering, a comprehensive dossier of mobile phone numbers, email addresses, web sites, how to get there, what to wear, Amazon gift lists.
This isn’t the first wave of weddings I’ve been witnessed, that was when many of my contemporaries married soon after university. In these wedding photos the bride and groom are seen raising pint glasses, raucous groups of silly 1980s haircuts, and modest wedding gifts.
There was a second wave, the late-twenties weddings, which still retained a little of that tongue in cheek home-made quality. The most memorable was a reception that took place in the groom’s parent’s gardens in Bristol, vows were self-composed and rigorously secular. But a cold, hard edge of professionalism had started to creep in: the idea of the pre-prepared ‘wedding list’ had begin to rear its head.
I remember the ‘entertainment’ was from an all-girl band – including the bride – that had obviously taken a series of wrong-turns and bad choices in their musical direction. Their sang their own songs, one was about miserable summer jobs. The bride subsequently packed up the band and took a course in Circus skills until is transpired that she had none. Trapeze was not the answer.
Then the third wave emerged, proving to be the most spectacular, weddings of friends in the early to mid-thirties who had been working for the best part of a decade, and had some money to throw at a once-in-a-lifetime event. Country House hotels, vast marquees like Bedouin tent cities; silk grey morning suits and top hats, hired and worn with absolutely straight faces, string quartets and Ceilidh callers, even ice sculptures. One couple left the reception in a hot air balloon.
Now I’m on the fourth wave as I say, friends of my kids. This weekend I was at one in Cheshire. I was on table twenty-four, near the back of the room. I didn’t take it personally, although I was tempted to tamper with the seating plan. What’s the main course I asked? The rumour mill says salmon. Salmon, salmon, salmon at weddings, I feel like swimming upstream.
A wedding requires immense reserves of love and commitment and time off work, not least from the guests. Confetti costs two pounds a bag – it had to be Vintage Rose Pink and White Heart Biodegradable Tissue Paper Wedding Throwing Confetti. A bag of fragrant boil-in-the-bag jasmine rice from Aldi wasn’t approved by my wife.
Will it be bonding, soul mates for life, or the start of melancholy, wet winters of recriminations, slammed doors and watching TV together in silence?
It’s really not an exaggeration to say that hooking up with a new partner launching a new business is just like getting married and gaining a spouse, you embark on a joined-up hope-fuelled journey towards a bright and optimistic future. So you should prepare for a co-founder relationship in much the same way you would for a marriage – even when two people are a perfect fit, there are going to be times when someone needs to speak up, and say something difficult.
Great co-founders can make even the worst times feel fun and bearable, they will sit with you at the bottom of the pit on your lowest day and tell you that it’s going to be okay. This relationship can determine the success or failure of your business. When you build a business with someone, your lives will inevitably intertwine, and as in marriage and business relationships, you have to have each other’s backs.
Many successful companies were built by productive co-founder relationships. How did these individuals find their business buddies, and what made their combined skill-sets a successful collaboration? Not surprisingly, many were long-time friends, classmates, or relatives, but there is a common trend: the most well-rounded co-founders recognised their individual limitations and respect what the other brings to a partnership. Let’s look at a few examples.
Research shows start-ups with co-founders are four times likely to be successful than those going solo – a strong case for forming a double act. Going it alone it’s easier to make decisions quickly and go for it, and generally you can’t fall out with yourself, and you also learn more – by necessity.
So, everything considered, what are the attributes you should consider when seeking a co-founder?
Aligned motives If one founder wants to build a cool product, another one wants to make money, and another wants to be famous, it won’t work. Pay close attention and unearth true motivations, which are revealed, not declared, it’s better to get that out in the open early and talk it through.
Future skills matter more than present skills It’s impossible to judge the potential skills of a person on day one. So instead, while we don’t predict future skills, avoid giving too much importance to current skills too. Startups demand different sets of competencies at various stages in their journey – being a CEO of a startup means being the Chief Everything Officer initially – co-founders need to be fast learners in order to acquire new in-demand skills.
How will decisions get made? This is a fundamental tenet of the relationship and BAU operating model. If it’s tied to voting the number of shares, you’re on dangerous grounds. Setup a management board and decide what kinds of decisions are made by the board, and which ones don’t. Common areas to address are decisions around hiring/firing, pricing and employee salaries.
Learn to trust each other The underlying question here is Can the founders work closely together for an extended period without killing each other? If one or more of the founders has some ‘tic’ the others don’t like or if there’s some odd feelings there, it might be overlooked in the rush to include people on the team who have a particular skill. Basically, can you spend 24/7 time together and have trust, tolerance, space and stretch when needed?
What it’s like to share the highs and lows, the successes and the failures, and the feeling of having someone alongside you, shoulder-to-shoulder all the while confident they think the same way? By merging their disparate talents and idiosyncrasies, effective co-founders sync when it comes to the course they co-charted. That kind of strategic cohesion is the secret sauce behind successful startups, so try to create that serendipity in your own startup enterprise.
Of course, besides the ‘strategic’ stuff, there’s also the everyday realities of working together. The face you see day in and day out, no matter what hour of the day, what day of the week, will be your co-founder. They know everything about you – while it may start with knowing about your business personality, their knowledge of your life will soon extend to everything personal. They will also know what your poker face, happy face, sulky face, and goofed-up-big-time face looks like.
Tantrums and bickering Each mind is different and there’s going to be noise. It will be fun for the honeymoon – and then reality sets in as you deal with everything under the sun. Hopefully your passion for the startup will always be enough adhesive to bring you together again.
Washing the pots In a startup, there will be loads of little, time consuming things to do and only the two of you. You’ll split the workload between yourselves, the good chores and dirty chores alike. Remember, the most important four words for a successful marriage: I’ll do the dishes.
Compromising to get along You’ll be scanning every small area of expenditure. There will always be disagreements over what you need and what you don’t need, and learning to compromise is key.
Keep it fresh Like spouses, business partners need their own ‘date night’, relationships won’t flourish without regular, open and honest communication.
The things that make startup co-founders work effectively together reflect spouses’ relationship in a successful marriage. Most important it that you make it a habit to set aside time for getting together to review priorities, discuss challenges, concerns, frustrations and generally check in with each other.
In the end, the best way to determine whether you should work with someone is to choose a co-founder like you would a spouse. The best type of relationship is the kind where you share a vision and purpose, see yourself building things together, where you know there is give-and-take.
Marriage is a wonderful invention, then again, so is the bicycle repair kit, but it offers us insights and parallels to a successful co-founder relationship. They say don’t marry the person you think you can live with, marry the individual you think you can’t live without. Apply the same to choosing a co-founder.
When you feel like you’ve finally found that with someone, take the leap; don’t bother with those luxuriously creamy envelope for invites, just get on with it.

Surprise! Much of what you thought you knew about how pickups work is wrong, or at least incomplete. The most important aspect of electric guitar pickup function appears to be as a receiver of magnetic flux, not a generator of magnetic field.... The vibration of the strings produces a signal in the pickup coil. That bare, unamplified signal is what comes out of the guitar and into the amp. That bare, unamplified signal is what comes out of the guitar and into the amp.

The Basic Concept. You�ve pondered the question before, but haven�t quite put your finger on the answer. How, exactly, do guitar pickups work?
Pickups. We have covered pickups here before so rather than running over old ground I suggest you read that article to get an understanding of the different types of pickups an electric guitar uses and how they work in greater detail.

John Dumont is ready for his fourth Boston Marathon. The Milford man qualified on his own, but decided this year to run for a cause - the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
John Dumont is ready for his fourth Boston Marathon.
The Milford man qualified on his own, but decided this year to run for a cause - the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Dumont hopes to raise $2,000 for cancer research and beat his personal best this year. He is a Milford firefighter.
Why are you running for Dana-Farber?
This is my first time running for a charity. My dad died of brain cancer in 2009. His prognosis never allowed him to get into treatment. Then recently a friend's brother-in-law was being treated at Dana-Farber for the same cancer. Sadly, he lost his battle. Still, Dana-Farber gives so many people a second chance so the choice for a charity was easy.
Thanks to the generosity of family and friends I have increased my goal to $2,000 and currently have raised $1,500 through my donation page.
What's your goal with the race?
Last year I qualified under 3 hours and 27 minutes. I'd like to do it faster this year, but my first goal is to cross the finish line. My second, is to do it relatively pain-free.
Boston is just the most historic marathon in modern time. Boston is exhilarating, spectators line every inch of its 26.2 miles. That alone can help push you when your body wants to quit.
What advice would you give to a first time Boston marathoner?
Enjoy it ... Don't go too fast, don't weave, just soak in the atmosphere. Boston is awesome.

Editor's note: Dumont finished 3:22:06.

Staff at larger companies have the ‘right to disconnect’ from January 1.
The French government has passed a law designed to tackle the problems caused by the "always on" culture of staff who are available 24/7 via their phones. As of January 1, employees of companies with over 50 members of staff now have the legal right to ignore emails sent out of office hours. This 'right to disconnect' is designed to quell the rise in unpaid overtime, as well as issues like burnout and sleeplessness that a permanent level of accessibility can cause.
The Guardian reports that a study published by French research group Eleas in October 2016 showed that more than a third of French workers used their devices to do work out-of-hours every day.
Under the new law companies are obliged to negotiate with their employees to agree on the hours in which they have the right to switch off. If a deal cannot be reached, the company must publish a charter clarifying the demands on, and rights of, employees out-of-hours. However, the new law currently carries no sanction for the firms which fail to define these terms.

Gordon Smith is there a list of all the types of things it searches somewhere? Can you paste here?
Searching ECL of all workunits can be painful and we should avoid doing so by default.

Throughout this past year, the efforts of the South Jersey First Star Collaborative have had an impact on both its local cohort of foster youth as well as national organizations and stakeholders who are committed to improving the issue of foster care systemically. The Pascale Sykes Foundation’s whole family approach has been essential in guiding these activities.
During this year, First Star was able to secure four year college scholarships that include tuition, room, and board for each participating First Star student. The provision of this scholarship allowed the collaborative to make its longterm goal of college attainment for each participating youth a reality. The scholarship has increased student participation overall and allowed the collaborative to have an avenue to increase family involvement. We have observed an increase in student dedication to their studies and an improvement in caregivers’ involvement in their student’s academic plans.
Students and parents are now enthusiastic about attending college now that the financial barrier has been lifted. First Star is encouraging all students to explore schools outside of those that are instate, especially those students who are excelling academically. For example, Kaitlyn, who participates in Air Force JROTC, would like to visit The Citadel this year; and Nina, who desires to become a pediatric surgeon, would like to visit Princeton University.
First Star is seeking to develop an ongoing partnership with the Give Something Back Foundation’s scholarship program, which has garnered national attention. After meeting and connecting with First Star youth, the Give Something Back Foundation has determined foster youth to be a target population for future college scholarships in New Jersey and nationwide. This focus was monumental in the development of a new First Star Academy in partnership with California State University, San Bernardino, where participating youth will also receive scholarships.
First Star’s involvement also created a partnership with Rowan College of Gloucester County, the college in which two students, Corressa & Asjahnai will be attending in Fall 2017. Rowan College has now become a partner site in which our First Star cohort can attend and receive housing and supportive services as they transition out of high school and into college. Pascale Sykes has placed the whole family approach at the forefront of these activities and will impact foster youth for years to come.
Throughout this year, First Star has continued to refine and improve its whole family approach, as this is an issue that has been addressed in letters from the trustees. Due to the geographic location of the students, the collaborative determined regional focuses for each Family Advocate to allow for more frequent home visits. Families continue to meet with Family Advocates on a regular basis to update their family plans with their financial, vocational, relational, and educational goals.

Despite the fact that I pretty much zombied through Monday as if there had been a tranquilizer dart stuck in my thigh that I didn't see, I must admit that Daylight Saving Times has its perks. Those come in the form of having more than one hour after work with sunlight flooding into my place and a happy dog who gets to romp in a field and catch balls a little longer. Speaking of zombies, you definitely feel like you're turning into one when you go to work in the dark and leave in the dark. So yes, DST does have a way of putting a little pep in your step, I must admit.
In other news, the career has been a busy one and I actually am en route to Los Angeles at the last minute for work for a few days. So the carnage and point of all this is that the blog shall suffer this week, but I'll be back Monday.
In the meantime, I'll try to snap a few Los Angeles things on the 'gram [@caitielady08 here].
Have a great rest of your week, a safe Saint Patrick's Day and a fabulous weekend!
Couldn't agree more. DST takes it out of me for a bit, but it's worth it for the evening sunlight. Have a great trip to LA!
Still not a fan of DST. They should stick it ahead 30 minutes, to half the difference, and then never do it again haha enjoy LA, even if you have to work.
I'm still trying to adjust to DST....I just messes up everything up and you have to adjust and readjust every year. I'm not a fan. Enjoy your time in LA and can't wait to see some photos!
I feel like I'm only finally adjusting to the time change and then it's time to change back, although I'm loving the extra sunlight I have after work. I hope you have fun in LA for work!
I am still trying to adjust to DST in the mornings, though I appreciate the extra sunlight after work! Usually my drive home is dark so its nice to not feel like the day is completely gone! I wish that we could just leave the time like it is now, no need to switch back!!! Have fun in LA!
Can't it just be light by 6:30 a.m. and then still light until 8:45 p.m.? Can this happen?
Hope your business trip goes awesome! I'm a fan of daylight savings time this year because it means my son is sleeping in until 7:30 instead of 6:30 now!
i'm such a loser, when i saw 'snap a few Los Angeles things on the 'gram' i was like oh yay she's on snapchat and i didn't know! but then i realised gram and i was embarrassed. unless you are on snapchat and now i'm just being creepy and should probably be quiet.

Why should you invest your money in property?
Property has been a ticket to wealth for many Australian investors and I want to discuss why you should invest in property and how it can create the future of your dreams.
What if you don’t invest in property at all?
First, let’s discuss what would happen if you don’t bother investing at all. Chances are you’ll be stuck in a job that you are not completely satisfied with until you’re at least 65 and you’ll never have quite enough money. Sometimes money is tight and that prevents you from doing the things you want to do and limits both your time and lifestyle.
It’s a big risk to not invest because it’s important to put your future first by investing wisely in order to take control of your life. There are a lot of different ways that you can invest your money (like stocks and businesses) but I’m very passionate about property as it is one of my favorite investment options.
It can help you achieve financial freedom.
A lot of Australians make investments without giving thought to where they actually want to end up. The goal to “be rich” is not a realistic goal that to strive towards. Financial freedom on the other hand is something that I think gives us massive benefits in our lives while also being a realistic goal.
Property also gives you the control to be able to achieve financial freedom in a quiet and, I would say, safe and secure manner (obviously though there are risks associated with any investment).
You can earn great wealth from your property building equity and excess cash. The way this happens is that properties tend to grow in value over time. Many investors say that property doubles in Australia every 7 to 10 years.
So if you buy a property that is worth $500,000 today well the estimates are according to these trends that in 7 to 10 years that property is going to be worth $1 million and another 7 to 10 years it’s going to be worth $2 million and so on.
Property investing can help you improve Australia.
People don’t usually think about this because we usually invest for selfish reasons, which is okay but by investing in property you can actually improve the lives of all Australians.
This is done a number of ways. For example, if you are an active investor and you improve dilapidated properties, then you’re providing great housing to people who wouldn’t otherwise have that option.
Another example is if you’re doing developments by building granny flats (like what I talked about with Wally Gabriel) you are helping maintain affordable housing in Australia which is a serious issue here. People don’t always get access to affordable housing so if you are an acting investor you’re helping other Australians get housing that they need.
With property you can invest with other people’s money.
Rather than needing $500,000 of your own money to invest in a property worth $500,000, you can have as little as a 5% or 10% deposit which is only $25,000 or $50,000 to buy a property worth half a million dollars.
By being able to leverage money from the banks and lenders it allows you to buy bigger assets which means if equity or rental income grows, you’re getting an exponential return on your investment because you leveraged other people’s money and you are using a small portion of your own.
Obviously this concept can work the other way around if property prices go down significantly, but you can get out a lot more money than you invested in the property if you invested correctly. Also by investing wisely you can accelerate the wealth that you build because you’re leveraging other people’s money.
With shares it is much more difficult to borrow and to leverage with other people’s money, so this is a huge advantage that property investment has.
You can create your own equity.
Some of are my favorite shows to watch on the lifestyle channel have to do with renovations where people decide to do renovations and create their dream home, which then adds equity onto their home as well.
I love the fact that by doing some work and using your finances in a smart way to improve the property you can add equity yourself. So rather than investing in stock with a business that you don’t really know and truthfully don’t have much control over, invest in an asset you can fully control and improve.
With property (usually) someone else is purchasing the property for you.
Even though you’re the one who puts down the deposit and gets the loan the fact of the matter is that the bank gives you the majority of the money to purchase a property. Over time, if you’re using the rental income to pay off the mortgage the tenant is effectively buying your house for you.
Overall property can be a great investment strategy and the part I love the most is the fact that it allows you to take control of your life. So rather than just floating through life working your job and saving a little bit of money, why not take control of your life? Aim to achieve financial freedom and begin educating yourself every single day towards that goal.
However, property is a great way to invest but if you don’t know what you’re doing it can be a very risky vehicle to achieve the wealth you want.
I hope that today you decide to take control of your life and begin the adventure of investing in property and always remember, your long-term success only happens one day at a time.
