It was announced at a December 3 Board of Selectmen meeting that the owners of the South St. Realty Trust will likely begin taking steps to sell their business. The announcement comes after months of back and forth negotiations between the owners and the Board concerning the reissuance of the business earth removal permit.
For months, the Board and owners of South St. Realty Trust had been working to come to an agreement regarding various restrictions for a gravel removal permit. Local residents had been complaining to town officials over safety and school bus traffic concerns, which they felt the business was responsible for. For a while, it appeared negotiations were going well, however, during a November 12 meeting, the Board voted unanimously to suspend the gravel pit operations when it was discovered the terms of the current permit were violated when operations took place during two recent holidays.
"I have been discussing this with the trustees who are in the audience tonight," said Town Manager Blythe Robinson. "They have approached myself and asked me to discuss with you the possibility of leaving the no hauling order in place for a further two weeks, and the possibility at your next meeting, of awarding a permit with some more changes that we all agree should happen, that would continue to suspend hauling while they are interested in putting the property up for sale."
Robinson said the owners would like to resolve the issues with hauling on holidays and the issues with the school bus interaction, "but at the same time, they would like to move on from possibly owning this property. "What they're suggesting is to come to a resolution on a permit that is reasonable to both sides and put a date in the future, possibly six months out, where there would be no hauling while they went through a process of attempting to sell it," she explained.
If the owners are able to find a perspective buyer who would either continue the business as is or as a different operation, that individual would need to come to an agreement on the terms of the permit with the Board.
The Board unanimously agreed to continue the suspension of hauling operations until their next meeting scheduled for December 17. Robinson said she will continue to work on the permit issues with the owners and determine how long they'd like to see the suspension in place and report back to the Board.
"Who knows what the sale process will bring," said Robinson. "Maybe some wants to operate it as a gravel pit or somebody wants to do something different."

There have been filters for Air, Water, Vehicles and what not. With the invention of Ullo now you have a filter for your wine as well. Yes, you heard that right, a filter just for all you wine lovers out there. Ullo is a wine purifier that removes sulfites from wine, thus making sure that the wine restores its original taste. Ullo was developed mainly for those of them who are health conscious and for people who prefer their wines to be chemical free.
James Kornacki came up with the idea of Ullo and he believes that there are many people out there who are allergic to sulfites just like him and hence he came up with the Selective Sulfite Capture™ which would help in removing the chemicals from the wine. Ullo is based in the United States of America and was founded in July 2016.
Ullo has such do not have any competitors because Ullo is the only one right now who is working on the concept of removing sulfites from wines. Ullo is competing with the idea that chemicals are regularly okay to ingest. Üllo uses a patent-pending polymer to selectively remove sulfites, while allowing compounds in wine to flow through unaffected. The most difficult challenge for James was that he had come up with the idea of Ullo when he was completing his doctorate. This meant that James had to go off track and dedicate a lot of time to Ullo apart from focusing on his academics.
Although Ullo is based in the United States of America, they have received a lot of interest internationally as well. Regions like Europe, South Africa, Africa and New Zealand have all shown interest in Ullo and James believes at some point he can make this service available to everyone across the world. Ullo is a funded venture which is backed by over 2,000 people.

Captain Moussa Camara consolidates grip on power after deposed government figures surrender.
Camara ordered the government and senior military leaders to give themselves up by the end of Thursday.
Former government ministers gathered at Souare's suburban home before boarding cars and driving off to the military camp, trailed by a number of soldiers, the AFP news agency reported.
Camara paraded through the capital on Wednesday with hundreds of soldiers amid cheering crowds.
He was unknown to most Guineans until this week, when he and other members of his faction announced a coup d'etat following Conte's death.
The coup leaders initially promised elections within 60 days, but Camara said on Wednesday that the group would organise a presidential election by 2010.
Camara also plans to lead a 32-member National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD), made up of 26 military officers and six civilians.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from the Ivory Coast capital Abidjan, said there were fears that the developments in Guinea could destabilise the neighbouring countries.
She noted the stark contrast between the rejection of the coup by the African and international political communities and its apparent embrace by the Guinean population.
Richard Cornwell, a regional analyst from the Institute of Security Studies in Pretoria, South Africa, told Al Jazeera that there seems to be an enthusiastic atmosphere for Camara.
"It's early days yet, a lot can happen in politics even in one week ... and there are all kinds of ambitious politicians there who may have their own interests in mind," he said.
"But it is well known that the army itself has a lot of grievances against the old regime, and there may be future attempts to change just who may be heading this country, but all this remains to be seen."
Thousands of Guineans cheered Camara as he brandished the national flag, while on board a military convoy, waving to the crowd in Conakry on Wednesday.
The pro-coup forces continue to move freely and unopposed around the sprawling coastal city, and according to witnesses and police sources, were arresting potential opponents.
In a televised statement broadcast on Wednesday, Camara defended the coup as "a civic act ... to save a people in distress".
But the UN, the European Union and the US all condemned the latest political upheaval in Africa, which follows post-election turmoil in Kenya and Zimbabwe, and an August military coup in Mauritania.

Our journey up the west coast of the Malay peninsula was different than expected, but we made good memories with good friends. We’ve now got experience and opinions about the string of marinas. All the dock time was a little surreal after a year of mostly anchoring.
It was good. Our watermaker hasn’t worked in a few months, and with five bodies on board, we use a fair amount even in stringent conservation mode. The new membrane and end caps were arriving with my parents (barely, after a vendor forgot to ship until we followed up a couple of weeks after we paid…whoops) but meanwhile, it was really nice to be able to tank up at the dock. Lugging jerry cans is not fun. Ask Jamie.
Having access to water makes laundry on board a snap, but having access to a good washer and dryer is even better! It’s just over $1/load to wash a pile of laundry at Puteri Harbour. I had some excellent helpers.
Up the road in Port Dickson, the kids had a wealth of playmates at the Admiral Marina. They made fast friends with the two girls on M/V Kristina II, and found old friends to reconnect with on S/V Pickles. The cruising kid posse on the dock hit 10 at first count! Good times at a beautiful facility.
When we headed north for a stint at the Pangkor Marina, the girls got fired up to have a bake sale. Can you feel the excitement through this picture?
Unfortunately, they were shut down with a simple “No” from the first grumpy boat they visited, which also turned out to be the only one with people aboard. We’re still out of sync with the seasonal fleet, so many boats are sitting empty in these marinas while the cruisers fly home or do land travel in the region. It somewhat squelched their enthusiasm, until reminded that meant there was more for us to eat!
Penang’s Straits Quay marina was our last stop on the way to Langkawi. We only had time for a couple of days, but that was enough to get our Thai visas at the consulate, eat some incredible food, and catch up with our friends Gary and Bev on Muscat.
We went out to watch the resident monitor lizards (mid-sized beasties: I think this guy was about 4 or 5 feet) on the breakwall in the morning. It was talking to the guard there that I realized the security staff everywhere we have stayed are not Malaysian, but Nepalese, usually just here for a year or two. Why is that? Food for thought.
Most of the time, Jamie was flat out with the project on Tahina, so the kids and I tried to make the rest of life easy: keeping up with routines on the boat, hiding from the heat at midday, reading, learning, exploring.
Regarding the question of Nepalese security staff. They are ubiquitous across India and the Middle East too ! These jobs are tough, low paying, and thus you have poor , unqualified Nepalese men from the interiors of Nepal ready to take these on for a living. Usually entails leaving family behind for long periods of time and sharing tiny rooms with other guys.
Another thing you would have noticed in Malaysia, almost all the menial/low paying jobs are taken up by men from poor countries neighbouring relatively prosperous Malaysia. Taxi drivers, construction, restaurant servers, etc. Maids for household work / babysitting are almost exclusively Indonesian women.

Ever wonder why cannabinoids like CBD and THC affect the body the way it does? Us, too. Well, turns out the body has a collection of cell receptors and their corresponding molecules that essentially make up the endocannabinoid system.
So how exactly do the cell receptors interact with those molecules? The fancy name for the anandamide and 2-Ag molecules is agonist. Agonists bond to cell receptors and give messages to direct the cells in any given direction. CB1 and CB2 are two main cell receptors found all over the body.
Diet is a huge factor in producing enough endocannabinoids. Omega-3 fatty acids are connected to the production of endocannabinoids and not producing enough can mean being more susceptible to illness—hemp is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids! Research is even being done to determine that dysregulation in the endocannabinoid system is related to disorders such as fibromyalgia.
If endocannabinoids are the body’s natural THC…where does CBD fit in? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes break down leftover endocannabinoids, keeping everything balanced. CBD puts a stop to that process, making more molecules available. Being non-psychoactive leaves CBD as an excellent option in boosting the effects of the body’s own produced endocannabinoids. This is what leads CBD to be a highly effective solution to symptoms such as pain, anxiety, or depression.
NutraCanna works hard to provide all health, no high options to boosting your natural endocannabinoid system. Derived from the hemp plant, these CBD products will get you the medical benefits you are after in a natural way.

Its one of those days where I need 1 little piece of info and I can’t find it for the life of me. Doing quick calculations on a room temp ethanol extraction time. The thing I can’t find is the average soaking time. There will be some agitation. Just need an about #.
Thanks for the info. Exactly what I needed. And we do have a second wash planned.
And just like that - a business plan was born.
Im still using a paint mixer on a drill in a bubble bag and I stir for about 3 minutes or so.
You’re gonna need to base your time on your input material. Once the alcohol gets the cannabanoids it starts moving onto chlorophyll and wax. Lower yield stuff will need to be faster.
I’ve been doing warm ethanol extraction in 5gal buckets.
My procedure goes like this: wash 16lb total into 5gal ethanol, 3min soak time, washing 1lb at time in 5gal 220 bubble bag and then spin drying in panda and adding recovered alcohol back into bucket.
I’ve been pulling a lot of green and filtering/winterizing has been pretty tedious.
I’m about to switch to extracting at -33c with stainless steel stock pots inside a cheest freezer with the panda in the chest freezer as well.
The plan is to dunk the 1lb bags into the stock pot of -33c ethanol stir and let soak with lid closed to cheest freezer then open just to put the bag into the panda, let spin dry and drain into pryex dish with the panda/Pyrex dish inside the closed chest freezer.
I’m hoping by keeping everything inside the cheest freezer and filtering 1gal at a time straight out of the freezer through my 50l Buchner any particulate will be removed before the ethanol warms back up.
Only thing I’m not quite sure about is how these colder temps will affect my soak times, I’ve read everywhere in between 2min to 1hr soak time for cold ethanol extraction.
Can anyone please give me some advice for proper soak time at -33c?
I do cryo dry ice soaks for up to 40 mins, and always get liquid gold, and absolutely zero need for any winterization. Just filter thru buchner funnel with celite 545.
Whats the minimum soak time you think I could get away with at -33c without affecting yield too much?
I’ve gotten used to just doing the 3 minute soak time and increasing it to 40min would dramatically reduce how much I could get done in a day. Really hoping to continue to extract at least 64lb in one day and with 40min soak time it wouldn’t be possible.
Imo, a 3min cryo soak can and most likely will leave quite a bit of thc behind.
I did a 25lb biomass to 25 gallons, soaked, washed, spun in panda, and filtered in 9hrs. All by myself. With at least 1.5hrs of BS time as u didnt fully setup before.
Nice, I’m thinking I’ll get 8 stock pots, 4 chest feezers and another panda.
This will allow me to soak 8lbs at once for 40min using all the stock pots and spin dry two of the bags out at the same time.
I have 2x 40qt and 2x 20qt (from HD) SS stock pots i use, and many bubble bags from eb@y. 2 panda spinners, but I only use 1.
Just realized your doing 25lbs biomass into 25gal ethanol.
Thanks everyone. We have some pretty innovative plant designs. Just putting the numbers to it. Hope to start build out in a couple months.
Dry Ice - it appeared to have been a typo.

Would you recommend Cheeze to a friend?
Cheeze is super cool! Something I've been playing around with lately... The simplest way of describing it is: You can trigger a photo from a phone by sending an emoji on Messenger. Try it out with the phone we have set up at the Product Hunt office! Just send a cat emoji to @Cheeze on Messenger. Any of these should work 😸😺😹😻😽 Will make sure to keep the phone and app on in the morning so people can give it a try. @Hudson will be here throughout the day to answer any questions. And of course, you can set up your own camera and have people trigger it, just message @Cheeze on Messenger to get started.
@nivo0o0 @cheeze @hudson Any idea what happened to Cheeze on Messenger? Just throwing errors!
@binoyxj - Hi, we have a spam filter in place where you will be blocked from saying Cheeze if you request a lot. Email hello@cheeze.com and someone will have a look into it for you.
Awesome - nice one Niv! 👊💯 Yeah Cheeze is a cool project we have been working on for a few months now, with so many BOTS out there we were keen to take it to the next level. Cheeze let's you trigger a Camera (Android) just by sending an Emoji on Messenger. During our pilot tests we ran it at fashion shows and private events and the reaction was amazing! Right now you can download the Android App http://cheeze.com/android to turn your phone into a Cheeze Cam, then simply Message Cheeze (http://m.me/cheeze) on Messenger to set it up. We have iOS, GoPro and 360 in Alpha at the moment and a few other chat channels coming in the next few weeks. Demo cameras are in place at our office and I am really keen to see what you guys think. If you have setup an active camera, place it somewhere cool and share your Emoji Code on here so we can all try it out - Say CHEEZE!
@hudson so what other emojis beside 😺👀🐠 will activate a camera? i have tried many others with no success.
Alright, this is actually pretty cool - I just installed this at work and I've been distracted by it since.
Wow, this seems very similar (in intent, not actual functionality) to my own Looxie app! Only with Looxie, instead of asking for photos by activating a camera, you ask for a photo by dropping location-based photo requests to other people on the map! I have gotten some really cool photos that way (it's pretty addictive) and I'm pretty sure that your app is going to be huge fun too. Downloading now!

He made a pee-line for the door.
A mailman was caught on surveillance video urinating while making a postal delivery at a Tennessee home.
The Memphis homeowner shared the footage on Facebook, which shows postal worker releasing a trail of urine as he walks on the porch of the house in the neighborhood of Berclair.
The mailman can be seen looking around to check if anyone noticed his dirty deed and continuing to deliver the mail — with the same hand seemingly used to touch his private parts.
After delivering the mail, he walks back toward the street, careful to steer clear of the wet evidence.
The United States Postal Service is conducting an investigation.
“This behavior clearly does not reflect the efforts of the thousands of professional, dedicated carriers in our workforce,” USPS spokesperson Susan Wright said in a statement to Fox 13 WHBQ-TV.
The upset homeowner has yet to open his mail.
“We just moved in a month ago and My front porch may be a work in progress but however no one deserves this !!,” the homeowner wrote in a social media post.

Kishkor-Koohchir (300 000 hectares mostly comprising semi-arid pasture areas), is one of the many ICCAs that can be found in Baluchestan, south of Iran.
The Baluch nomadic tribes that are hitting the ground of the Kishkor-Koohchir area are adapting every year their trajectory, in the pattern of a horizontal migration. The role of the men called goolah, who travel in advance through the ICCA is crucial. During the migration the goolah identifies the best area for the livestock to graze, according to the rainfalls, before the arrival of the tribes. Baluch communities have a long-established experience in coping with drought and making the best use of rainfalls. As an example, livestock is taken for grazing in an area only when 1.5 to 2 months have passed from rainfalls, in order to let grass growing enough to optimize the area use. These communities know how to carefully live with their territory resources. They know very well how to use the plant called daaz, to make shoes, braces, toys, but also their traditional houses. They also carefully manage water through a complex system of qanats (horizontal tunnels), hootak (wells) and degars (pools). Baluch culture is as delicate as the environment they live in.
In the past years, in order to find ways to improve their ICCA recognition and enhance collective actions, 15 Baluch tribes got together to create what they called a “committee of founders”.

Chockablock with celebrity chefs and starred restaurants, Catalonia has become a foodie’s dream destination. But long before that, there was traditional country cooking: a lush palette of tastes and textures, including sausages and charcuterie, wild mushrooms, spring onions with romescu sauce, and hams from acorn-fed pigs from southwestern Spain, all happily paired with sparkling wines from the Penedès, or rich reds from nearby Montsant and Priorat. These are the quintessential flavors of this city.
One of Catalonia’s most beloved and authentic feasts is the winter calçotada: a celebration of the sweet, long-stemmed, twice-planted spring onions called calçots. These delicacies were originally credited to a 19th-century farmer named Xat Benaiges, who discovered a technique for extending the scallions’ edible portions by packing soil around the base, giving them stockings or shoes (calçats), so to speak. Valls and the surrounding region now produce upward of 5 million calçots annually. Calçot feasts take place in restaurants and homes between January and March, though the season is getting longer on both ends. On the last weekend of January, the town of Valls itself holds a public calçotada, hosting as many as 30,000 people who come to gorge on onions, sausage, lamb chops, and young red wine.
During the festival, you can learn how to grow calçots, how to make the accompanying salbitxada sauce (romescu) and, most importantly, how to eat them. The culminating event is the calçot-eating competition, when burly competitors from all over Catalunya swallow as many as 300 calçots in a 40-minute contest as the crowd cheers them on. Once the winner is decided, large grills set up all over town roast calçots over sarmientos (grape vine clippings), as red wine and cava are splashed from long-spouted glass pitchers called porrons.
Casa Félix (Ctra. N240, Km 17, north of Tarragona977/601350 www.felixhotel.net) is the classic Valls calçotada restaurant, with small private dining rooms encased entirely in enormous wine barrels.
L’Antic Forn (Pintor Fortuny 2893/412–0286 www.lanticforn.com) serves calçots in the middle of Barcelona a few steps from Plaça de Catalunya.
Restaurant Masia Bou (Ctra. de Lleida, Km 21.5977/600427 www.masiabou.com) offers typical calçotades in a sprawling Valls masia (farmhouse) an hour and a half from Barcelona by car.
Restaurant Masia Can Borrell (Ctra. d'Horta a Cerdanyola, BV1414 km. 3, Sant Cugat del Vallès93/692–9723 www.can-borrell.com) in the Collserola natural park can be reached by taking the train from Barcelona to San Cugat and hiking through the park to reach the restaurant.
Catalan sparkling wine, called cava, is produced mainly in the Penedès region, 40 km (25 miles) southwest of Barcelona. Cava was created in 1872 by local winemaker Josep Raventós after the Penedès vineyards had been devastated by the phylloxera plague and the predominantly red varietals were being replaced by vines producing white grapes. Impressed with the success of the Champagne region, Raventós decided to make his own dry sparkling wine, which has since become the region’s runaway success story. Cava comes in different degrees of dryness: brut nature, brut (extra dry), seco (dry), semiseco (medium), and dulce (sweet). The soil and microclimate of the Penedès region, along with the local grape varietals, give cava a slightly earthier, darker taste than its French counterpart, with larger and zestier bubbles.
Under Spanish Denominación de Origen laws, cava can be produced in six wine regions and must be made according to the Traditional Method with second fermentation in the bottle using a selection of Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Subirat grapes.
La Vinya del Senyor (Pl. de Santa Maria 593/310–3379) offers top cavas and wines by the glass from a continually changing list.
Jamón ibérico de bellota, or ham from free-range acorn-fed Ibérico pigs, descendant from the Sus mediterraneus that once roamed the Iberian Peninsula, has become Spain’s modern-day caviar. The meat is dark and red, and tastes of the roots, herbs, spices, tubers, and wild mushrooms of southwestern Spain. The defining characteristic of this free-range pig is its ability to store monounsaturated fats from acorns in streaks or marbled layers that run through its muscle tissue. This is one of the few animal fats scientifically proven to fight the cholesterol that clogs arteries. The tastes and aromas, after two years of aging, are so complex—so nutty, buttery, earthy, and floral—that Japanese enthusiasts have declared Ibérico ham umami, a word used to describe a fifth dimension in taste, in a realm somewhere beyond delicious. In addition, jamón ibérico de bellota liquefies at room temperature, so it literally melts in your mouth.
Caveats: Jamón serrano refers to mountain-cured ham (from sierra) and should never be confused with jamón ibérico de bellota. What is commercialized in the United States as Serrano ham comes from white pigs raised on cereals and slaughtered outside of Spain. Pata negra means "black hoof." Not all ibérico pigs have black hooves, and some pigs with black hooves are not purebred ibéricos. Jabugo refers only to ham from the town of Jabugo in Huelva in the Sierra de Aracena. The term has been widely and erroneously applied to jamón ibérico de bellota in general.
Café Viena (Rambla 11593/317–1492) is famous for its flauta de jamón ibérico (flute or slender roll filled with tomato drizzlings and Ibérico ham), described by the New York Times as "the best sandwich in the world." Mesón Cinco Jotas (Rambla de Catalunya 91–9393/487–8942 ) serves a complete selection of ham and charcuterie from the famous Sánchez Carvajal artisans in the town of Jabugo, Huelva.
Botifarra: pork sausage seasoned with salt and pepper. Grilled and served with stewed white beans and allioli (garlic mayonnaise). Variations include botifarra with truffles, apples, wild mushrooms, and even chocolate.

Botifarra de perol: made with head meat boiled before stuffing.
Botifarra dolça: cured with sugar instead of salt and seasoned with spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg; served as a semi-dessert, this sausage is typical of the Empordà region.
Botifarra negra: Catalan blood sausage made with white bread soaked in pig blood with fat, salt, and black pepper.

La Botifarreria de Santa Maria (Carrer de Santa Maria 493/319–9123) next to the Santa Maria del Mar basilica stocks a compendium of Catalonia’s sausages and charcuterie, along with top hams from all over Spain.
La Masia de la Boqueria (Mercat de la Boqueria93/317–9420) is one of the finest charcuterie and ham specialists in the Boqueria market.
Xarcuteria Margarit (Cornet i Mas 63, Sarrià93/203–3323) up in the village of Sarrià has an excellent charcuterie (xarcuteria or cansaladeria in Catalan) on Cornet i Mas just below Plaça Sant Vicenç and another in the Sarrià market on Reina Elisenda.
Wild mushrooms are a fundamental taste experience in Catalan cuisine: the better the restaurant, the more chanterelles, morels, black trumpets, or mushrooms of a dozen standard varieties are likely to appear on the menu. Wild mushrooms (in Spanish setas, in Catalan bolets) are valued for their aromatic contribution to gastronomy; they impart a musty, slightly gamey taste of the forest floor—a dark flavor of decay—to the raw materials such as meat or eggs with which they are typically cooked. Many locals are proficient wild-mushroom stalkers and know how to find, identify, and prepare up to half a dozen kinds of bolets, from rovellones (Lactarius deliciosus) sautéed with parsley, olive oil, and a little garlic, to camagrocs (Cantharellus lutescens) scrambled with eggs. Wild mushrooms flourish in the fall, but different varieties appear in the spring and summer, and dried and reconstituted mushrooms are available year-round. Panlike Llorenç Petràs retired in 2010, but his Fruits del Bosc (Forest Fruits) stall at the back of the Boqueria market is still the place to go for a not-so-short course in mycology. Petràs and his sons supply the most prestigious chefs in Barcelona and around Spain with whatever they need; if morels are scarce this year in Catalonia but abundant in, say, Wisconsin, the Petràs family will dial them in. Llorenç’s book Cocinar con Setas (Cooking with Wild Mushrooms) is a runaway best seller presently in its 10th edition.
Petràs—Fruits del Bosc. This shop (Mercat de la Boqueria, stands 867–870 and 962–96593/302–5273 www.boletspetras.com) in the back of the Boqueria shows and sells the finest wild-mushroom collection in Barcelona.

The world's largest retailer acquires Spatialand to work on a virtual reality shopping experience.
The ways in which we choose to shop are expanding. It used to be the case we traveled to a store and bought things, then the Internet came along and we started buying online. The latest way to shop is using your voice and a smart speaker such as Echo or Google Home, but what comes next? The most likely candidates are augmented reality and virtual reality, and Walmart just decided to back VR.
Walmart has worked with Spatialand before. Last year the company was involved with Walmart's Store No. 8 innovation hub on a project. Whatever it was must have impressed Walmart to entice an acquisition. But what exactly are Spatialand's founder Kim Cooper and 10 employees going to be working on?
As you'd expect, Walmart isn't saying. However, Katie Finnegan, who oversees Store No. 8, has stated the retail experiences being worked on won't be seen for at least five years and possibly not for another decade. So while VR shopping may seem like a strange choice right now due to the costs of headsets and supporting hardware, by 2028 it could be as cheap and readily available as smartphones are today.
The good news is, we won't have to wait until the next decade to find out what Spatialand is working on, Finnegan also said we should expect a reveal in 12-18 months.

Its 500 PPI imaging is aided by the Reflection Removal technology to ensure glare-free scanning.

This post is brought to you by Wondershare MobileGo for IOS. All opinions are my own.
As a blogger and a mom, I am addicted to my “i” devices! I take tons of pictures and videos with my iPhone and iPad! It’s safe to say I use those devices to capture just about every important moment in my family’s life! I use iTunes to sync everything on my PC. While I like it for the basics, it has limitations that I feel are holding me back from getting the full experience! MobileGo for IOS addresses those limitations!
While iTunes is a great program for many purposes, I am not fond of iTunes automatic sync. The contacts feature is my least favorite function. It creates a ton of duplicate entries! It doesn’t manage my contacts easily or export them to an Excel documents. MobileGo for IOS, on the other hand, does just that! Another issue with iTunes is that it converts video and audio files into a compatible IOS format, which I do not like. I prefer to keep my files in their original form sometimes! Wonderhare Mobile Go for IOS picks up where your iTunes leaves off!
So why is Wondershare MobileGo for IOS is a perfect tool for your i devices and PC? Let’s take a look at the features!
Wonderhare MobileGo for IOS has a free trial version! It doesn’t allow you to perform all the tasks though. Still, it’s enough to give you a good idea of what to expect. If you do choose to upgrade (which you’ll want to after seeing all the cool features!), the cost is $40.
When you download MobileGo for IOS, you can choose between seven languages.
The download and setup is very quick! As soon as you finish the download, a help page opens in your internet browser and gives you the features of the software.
Connect your Apple device via USB. It recognizes the media, photos, and texts on your Apple devices. It displays them in a column on the left.
You can add music from your PC to your phone! I found it very convenient because before the era of iTunes, I had so many music files on my PC and didn’t know how to transfer them.
You can also choose to export your music to your computer. Now you may think it is useless since you have iTunes but it is not! You know why? Because you can connect a second APPLE device to MobileGo for IOS! and transfer files back and forth. Isn’t that great? For example, my son has an iPod. He takes lots of pictures on his device. He doesn’t have an email account yet so he cannot send me his photos! Even if he could it would take too long. He has hundreds of them! So we connected his iPod to Wondershare MobileGo for IOS, transferred his photos to computer and then to my iPhone, Dropbox, etc!
This is my favorite feature! Even if my contacts are backed on iCloud, I cannot manage them! With MobileGo for IOS, I can export them to a CSV file, Outlook. And vice-versa.
I love that we can read the full text message compared to iTunes. You can even export them to HTML and other formats! This makes it so easy to find important text messages that are buried within your phone!
So now the final question: is it worth it to spend $40 to have those features while you can have iTunes for free?
You can connect multiple devices at the same time! We have 2 iPhones, 1 iPad and 1 iPod!
Contact management: The capacity to remove duplicate and export your contacts to a CSV file is SO important for my work and my husband’s work! You know when they say: contacts are gold! Managing them with this software is priceless.
Download your free trial and see how much easier Wondershare MobileGo for IOS makes your life! Check out Wondershare MobileGo on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with news!
I love that it can copy photos & albums to/from Your PC & iDevice.
Love the fact that you can connect multiple iDevices. Would love to win a license hope I’m lucky enough. Thanks for the great giveaway campaign.
At last a replacement for iTunes that has become so bloated.
i like this compleate superb software suit.
Love that you can connect multiple devices!

The Iron's youth team were beaten 3-2 at Bottesford Town on Saturday lunchtime.
United's youngsters raced in to a two-goal lead within the opening 20 minutes of their final pre season game.
The Iron opened the scoring after 15 minutes following some excellent passing play but were fortuitous to get the lead when the Bottesford keeper sliced his clearance into his own goal.
United's system was causing the home team real problems and it was the Iron's youngsters who scored again on 20 minutes.
Noel Burdett was through and on the verge of the penalty area when his legs were taken from under him.
Connor Purdue stepped up and whipped his free kick around the wall and into the far corner with quality to put Tony Daws' team in to a fully deserved and commanding lead.
United dominated the first half as they moved the ball around the pitch with confidence and produced some neat passages of attacking football that Town were finding difficult to stop.
This all changed within the space of three minutes as Bottesford somehow went in at half-time level.
United goalkeeper Ben Ledger was beaten from outside his penalty area on 43 minutes from what seemed like a routine save but the ball crept in low down to his left hand post as the home team pulled a goal back.
On the stroke of half-time the referee awarded a very disputable free kick against the Iron on the edge of the box.
The resulting free-kick appeared to catch the visitors shotstopper too far off his line and as Ledger back peddled the ball hit the bar and struck the Iron's first year keeper on the back before crossing the line.
United trudged off the pitch at half-time wondering how they had been pegged back when they had ran the game.
The second half saw the home team on top well marshalled by former Iron Lee Ridley and supported by his team mates including Tom Johnson, Jack Cross and Danny Gibbons, all players to have graduated from United's academy.
The Iron's youngsters seemed a different team and were not helping themselves - giving possession away too often and consequently couldn't build on their first half superiority.
Bottesford nudged themselves into the lead on 75 minutes.
United centre back Charlie Clemenshaw tracked the home team striker to the corner flag and made a needless rash challenge giving away a free kick.
As the ball was whipped in to the near post there seemed little danger but Levi Sutton stretching to clear the ball unfortunately turned it into his own goal and United were behind.
Both teams had further chances as the game drew to a close.
Afterwards, Academy Manager Tony Daws said: "In the first half Paul Harsley and I both thought that our play was outstanding from a tactical and technical perspective, there were so many positives to take from individual and the team performance.
"In the second half we looked a different team. It was clear that conceding the two late goals at the end of the first half had affected our players.
"From a development perspective this is all part of their psychological learning, how to deal with making mistakes and how to recover from conceding goals.
"As usual we will debrief the game on Monday and all players will be given feedback as to areas of their game that they did well and areas that they need to improve on.
"It has been a good pre-season, we are injury free, our players look very fit and we are looking forward to the commencement of the Football League Youth Development games programme next weekend."

Growing your property management business and increasing the number of landlords you attract requires a few different marketing strategies. Today, we’re focusing on social media marketing and why you should use it.
The most popular social media platforms can help you find new business and stay connected to current customers.
Which Platform is Best for Business to Business Marketing?
When you think about B2B marketing, or business to business marketing on social media, your first thought probably turns to LinkedIn. After all, LinkedIn is designed specifically for professionals. But, is it the leading site for your B2B efforts?
The success rate of B2B marketing on Facebook is 91 percent.
The success rate of B2B marketing on LinkedIn is 79 percent.
On average, Facebook has 2 billion users per month and people spend an average of 40 minutes per day on the site.
On average, LinkedIn has 106 million users per month and each person spends an average of 17 minutes per day on the site.
So, why use social media to find landlords?
When people are interested in doing business with a company, most of them will look for that company on social media. When you have a strong social media presence, your property management company can earn trust.
People are learning more on social media than ever before. Even a few years ago, when someone was interested in learning more about you, they’d go to your website or read your reviews or just call you on the phone.
Today, their first stop is likely to be your Facebook page.
Social media has become central to our lives. You hear about these platforms on the news nearly every day. They’re mentioned in stock market updates and they’re responsible for who and what goes viral. Social media is where people stay in touch with friends and family.
Another part of social media and its power is the affect it can have on a company’s brand. When a company does something bad, you’re going to see them smeared on social media. That’s because it generates the most attention. The negative PR is going to hurt.
Social media is crucial and it cannot be ignored.
People trust social media and the things they see there. It feels more personal than automated email messages and phone calls. It provides a way to connect that goes beyond discount codes and snail mail offers.
When you put your company out on social media, you’re embracing an image that you’re real, with real people, and that you’re up-to-date with technology.
Social media is a good communication tool. People may scroll through their newsfeed and see some of your content. Then, they might remember they had a question for you. If they leave that question in the comments section, you can answer it publicly.
Your response is transparent and real. This builds trust because you’re present, you’re active, and you’re engaging the people who need you. This shows you are responsive and willing to communicate with clients or with prospects in a public forum, not just behind closed doors.
There’s a good chance landlords will look you up on Facebook. They’ll want to see what kind of content you’re sharing and what people are saying in their reviews. If you don’t have a Facebook page, that’s going to be a red flag for a lot of potential clients. They’ll wonder if you’re hiding something or if you’re simply behind the curve.
A strong social media presence helps you build your property management business.
If you have any questions about increasing your social media presence, contact us at Fourandhalf. We can help you get started.
Kim Tanner, Fourandhalf marketing director, obtained her Bachelor of Science in journalism and Earth science from Central Michigan University and brings 15 years of professional marketing experience to the company. Her expertise includes marketing strategy, branding, marketing automation, CRM management, graphic design, content marketing, campaign management, product marketing, technical marketing and advertising.

Located close to the Malad station, this small stretch of shops selling beautiful lehengas, sarees and kurtis is a heaven for brides to be.
Nataraj market houses many high-end shops like Palkhi, Lady Lyka, Pari, Rajhans and Roop Niketan. We inquired about their range of lehengas and were wowed by the diverse range. You can expect anything between 3000 to 75000 in these shops. They also sell designer outfits in prettiest fabrics. Everything from Gujrati sheesha work to a more subtle zardozi work, you name it and they have it.

What if you sensed you were being watched….
What if you knew you looked hideous….
What if you surrendered your heart….
Heven has no idea how closely death stalks her. She has no idea what I have done to keep her alive. I fear the day she learns my secrets, finds out what I really am. But even then I cannot stop, I vow to make things right. Finally her hunter will be hunted, Heaven and Hell, faith and sin will battle, and we will be victorious. But first, Heven must learn to be what she never imagined. I know her strength is there – I feel it. If we are to overcome all odds, she must push past her flaws – her frailties – to become much more.
Cambria: LOL!! I do cook them for my family. They don’t scare me without their feathers!! LOL. I will say that the whole chickens? (Turkeys too) I hate to touch those, and putting my hand in them to get out that bag of – er – parts is NOT happening. My husband opens it up, puts it in the pan and I literally throw an onion and lemon and stuff inside it. EW!
Nora: Sam and Heven enjoy Bubble Tea, and the video on your website that shows you making it is AWESOME! Check that out HERE. Did you like Bubble Tea enough to make it again? If so, what flavor will be your favorite? Also…what is the most unusual food or drink you’ve ever tried?
Cambria: Sure, I will make Bubble Tea again! I would love to try a flavored one. I haven’t had a chance to try that yet. I can’t say for sure which flavor I would like the best but I usually like caramel and chocolate stuff the best! Most unusual food or drink? I have to admit I am not very adventurous. I get grossed out easily. LOL. The grossest thing I have eaten is escargot I guess. Which is snails. Nasty, nasty little things. I didn’t even swallow it. Yuck.
Nora: I loved the suspense and truly terrifying moments in Masquerade. I wondered how it would all play out, and I must say, I was totally shocked by Sam’s identity. What is something (other than those chickens!) that has chilled you to your bones? Would it be snakes, spiders….the dark?
Cambria: Hmmm. There are lots if things I don’t like – like crickets- but chill me to the bone? Not much really – stuff that has that strong effect on me is more reality based – like someone breaking into my house, being kidnapped, etc….. Also, I think an experience with a ghost would be very chilling but I haven’t experienced one of those (yet).
Nora: Another aspect of Masquerade is the constant presence of Hope. I loved this aspect of your book. Are you generally an optimistic person? If so, what is something you hoped for and it finally came true?
Cambria: I like to think I am optimistic. Lol. I try to be. I am a stress monster though. I worry about stuff a lot. All kinds of stuff – even stuff I can’t control. Lol. But I always try to quell my worry with positive thinking. I try and tell myself that there is always hope – a constant presence of it. One thing I hoped for was this book in print. I hoped and dreamed of seeing this book published for soo long and it finally came true. It’s been fantastic.
Nora: Are you most like Sam, Heven, Cole, or Kimber? Why?
Cambria: I think I am most like Heven. I relate to her most, I think. I have never been scarred or disfigured on my face but there have been times in my life when I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. There were times as a young kid that I got made fun of at school and wanted to blend in and be left alone. I also like to think that I bounced back from those things and found my inner strength. There’s also a side of me that liked to have fun like Heven. 😉 And if I am being honest I have some Kimber in me too…. I love clothes. LOL.

But the passion for writing never went away so years later when she opened her laptop and started typing she worked until she wrote a book – Masquerade – that she hopes everyone will be as excited about as she is.
Thanks to all who came to visit Cambria and enter her giveaway!

For reasons unknown, this year I am really noticing birds. I don’t know why I didn’t see them before, but now I see them everywhere. I am making an effort to get to know them, starting with the ones that visit my yard. I would like to know their names, where they came from, what they eat, and the things they do for us that we probably don’t realize.
This spring I was throwing some sticks on the brush pile in the back yard when I noticed the most striking bird feeding on the ground. She paused to look at me and then continued jabbing at the ground. I ran to grab my camera and capture this unusual sight. It was a female Northern Flicker, and she was feeding on ants in my lawn.
Flickers are a type of woodpecker, different in that they spend some time feeding on the ground. Like woodpeckers, they can be heard rapping on dead trees. They have a long tongue that curls inside its skull until needed to shoot out and catch ants (three inches past their beak!). They eat more ants than other birds, and a single Flicker was found with 5,000 ants in its stomach. Flickers also eat other insects, fruits, and acorns, as well as suet, raisins and apples at feeders in cold months.
The Flicker was a larger bird (about 12” long) of light brown color with a red crescent on the back of her neck, and a black ‘bib’ on her chest with black spots underneath. Males (and young) have a noticeable black ‘mustache’. In flight, the Flicker has a white rump, until it lands and virtually vanishes against the bark of a tree.
Flickers used to be more common in backyards, but declined after people began killing their prey with lawn pesticides. As more and more people practice natural gardening and lawn care, Flickers are finding our yards a more welcoming habitat.
I like to think the female Flicker would enjoy nesting in my yard (I even left some dead parts of trees for her!), but I haven’t seen her around in a while. Hopefully she wasn’t too put off by my staring at her with my big zoom lens. It was amazing to witness her feeding in my lawn, and I’m glad for the opportunity to watch such a beautiful bird in action.
