Gaining traffic but not seeing sales? A big problem might lie in your landing page.
A good conversion rate is different across all industries, but in general, the average is about 2.35%. The top 25% of businesses have a conversion rate of about 5.31% and higher, while those in the top 10% have 11.45% and higher.
The goal should be to break into that 10%; even if you’re in the average, that doesn’t mean you’re doing good. If you’re having trouble with your conversion rates, check your sales landing page; it may be doing a poor job of converting potential customers and leads.
Read on to find out some ways to design an effective landing page that will improve your conversion rate.
The headline is the first thing that the visitor will see on your landing page. In most cases, it’s the determining factor whether the visitor would like to read more or exit your website. As such, it should accomplish 2 things: capture their attention and make them understand what it’s about.
You’ll need to accomplish these 2 things with a short headline with a maximum of 20 words. Don’t worry, you’ll get to explain further if you include a subheading. Use it to explain what you do with a persuasive tone, making visitors believe in your product or service.
Take Apple’s landing page for AirPods, an example of a successful landing page.
Its headline, “More magical than ever,” doesn’t explain what the product is. Still, it does encourage visitors to read more. The text below then explains what makes it more magical.
What you need to remember, though, is that everything should be clear – what you’re offering, the benefits of your products/services, and whatnots. Every element, including your CTA buttons, should be clear to your visitors. If you want them to fill up a form, for example, visitors should know that at a single glance.
This might mean you’ll have to make some of your buttons bigger or make them colorful. Following this advice, remove any distractions that don’t add value to your offer. If you want them to buy, add a visible buy button and minimize other buttons that lead somewhere else.
Another way to convey a clear image is to use imagery of your products. In the Apple example above, the company used big, high-quality images of the AirPods in different angles. Even if the headline didn’t mention the product, the visual helped create the whole message.
Furthermore, humans are visual creatures. Our brain processes image 60,000 times faster than text.
It will affect visitors the moment they see your landing page, so make sure it paints a good image of the product. Along with the headline, it has a huge chance to shape the visitor’s first impression of your whole brand.
If you’re not selling a product, you can still use imagery related to your service. If you trim lawns, for example, a nice and clean lawn can convey the right messages to your visitors.
Yes, your product is the best and it’s good at what it does, but what are the specific features that make it so? Does it use a technology that allows it to outshine its competitors? Does it have a feature you can’t find anywhere else?
Give the visitors a good reason to take action – whether that’s to buy something, subscribe, or sign-up. You need to connect with the consumers if you expect them to purchase, subscribe, or share.
If you’re giving a free eBook for every signup, make that clear to your visitors. If you’re inviting them to a free event, make sure they know that it’s free.
If you focus on the specific benefits of buying or using a service, you’re more likely to convert the visitor.
Landing pages that convert are successful in getting the customer’s trust. One way you can do this is to be transparent – not only about your products but your business as well.
Display your contact number, address, social media accounts and other channels where they can contact you. You may even include a chat window right in the page, where they can talk to an agent real-time. This provides customers with a sense of assurance that you’re a real business and not a scam website.
Moreover, prices and all other fees need to be transparent from the get-go. Don’t wait until the customer is checking out to mention these fees. When the price at the end is different from your landing page, they may feel cheated and not complete the transaction even if the total is still within their budget.
With that said, you may have to be clear about the shipping costs, as well, if applicable. If you use UPS, for example, add the usual UPS shipping cost and rates so there’s no surprise once they’re ready to pay.
The landing pages that sell are those that are honest – they match whatever you’re offering with your ad. In line with the theme above, you have to appear trustworthy to your customers. If the price is higher on your landing page than on the ad, you’ll lose their trust in an instant.
The landing page should also give what the customers came for right away. If you promised something in the ad, make it the first thing they see when they get to the page; don’t make them hunt for it.
Putting together a cohesive and effective sales landing page will seem like a lot of work, but the benefits are worth it. If you need a little help, don’t hesitate to contact us and watch your conversion rates jump up.

Agreed. If you want to learn anything about Warcraft lore (his videos also cover the RTS games, the books, the comics, & Hearthstone) go to Nobbel's channel on YouTube. If you watch all of them, you'll be done around mid-June. He has videos that are well over one hour long.
Thank you for tihs Nobbel :). Now I can point to something that shows why I don't like Odyn. Ever since I read the WoW Chronicle book I've had a hard time figuring out why I should be helping Odyn.
It's not called Warcraft for nothing!
ps: Odyn was total a jerk to Helya!
Hopefully more people will understand why I dislike Odyn. Having read the Chronicles before Legion, I went in extremely confused as to why we were continuing to make friends with him. He's a bad dude and I fully expect to defeat him at some point. Buuut the gameplay right now is treating him completely different and it doesn't really make sense.
Yeah, I was certain we'd redeem Helya and fight Odyn, myself.
Yes! More Nobbel! When I stumbled on to him on YouTube a couple of years ago he got me back into Warcraft. Knowing the lore as well as he teaches it makes the game far more immersive no matter what player type you are. This guy is amazing. He and the Preach & Ghost team are my two favorite content creators on that YouTube. Glad to see my favorite site and content creators working together!
Further elaborating on why Odyn is a completely useless, good-for-nothing, self-centered jerk!
... repost of part of OP, after reading it more closely.
this "nordic inspiration" part of the lore is one of my favorites.
More videos please! I'm quite confused with the whole plot & lore of Legion. I have been unable to find an article or video that can explain the events of Legion so far.
Honestly, I think we will end up killing Odyn in a future raid if he is the Lord of Ravens that will turn the 5 keys.
This new partnership between Wowhead and Nobbel was a great idea! Keep the great content coming guys!
Sylvanas died third time when Lord Godfrey kill her in Silverpine Forest.
You guys should've brought attention to Nobbel way sooner. Its kind of lousy you just now are, he's been around for a while and is the best source of lore videos, in a condensed form. But looks like mostly everyone was already familiar with him at least, props to Nobbel for continuing good lore vids, and to WoWHead, better late than never I guess.

What would you feel if you discovered that your art has been reproduced without your permission? Such is the situation with many artists today who have used images that were originally painted by other artists. So is it okay for you to use these images?
First things first, using material that belonged to others would not only be applicable in the art sector and this could include the likes of print, television, speeches and obviously the internet, dubbed the largest library of resources in the world. Therefore, when copyright infringement takes place, there are always avenues and the right channel to bring your case to instead of throwing a tantrum.
Under most circumstances, the common reaction when an artwork or any work is used without permission is to bring a legal suit against the person responsible. This is because there are situations when such incidents are better left alone. One such case took place when a piece of artwork was used in a television show. The artist saw the painting and was baffled and went on to file a legal suit against the producer of the show. The artist eventually won the suit but the repercussions were bad for others in the industry. This was because the painting was put on the show not to gain popularity but was a way of showing support for the artist through the show. After the legal suit, it became a precedent that in order to place any type of art on television show, prior permission must first be obtained.
The point here is that the artist should show appreciation that her work was used in the television show and it would be seen by thousands of viewers. But the issue really is that the television producer should have asked permission before using the artwork for the show. So being an artist, you have to decide and take a stand if your work can be reproduced with or without your permission and this is something that you need to stick on by.
One thing for sure, you can do with any ‘free publicity’ if anyone uses your work but the line would need to be drawn when you are not credited for the work you have done.
Fundamentally, the more people use your work, the better it is for your career because that means more people would see it. The more important factor here is that they do not take away the authorship from you. It would be much better if your name is mentioned which will then give you the exposure you will need. If you are at the early stages of your art career, then you should allow them to use your work by all means and where this is concerned, you should check and see if you can gain further leverage to have your name mentioned through the end credits and such. If you are a seasoned artist, you might want more leverage but seriously, there is no harm done for anyone to use your artwork.

This will be a very quick post on how to check if an object / character / player / car / vehicle or whatever kind of 2D object is grounded or not. To do this we use the OverlapCircle static function of the Physics2D class. Of course there are other functions, however, for the purpose of demonstration we use this function. You can follow the same steps to achieve the same using the other function.
To use the assets that we are using in this post, download the Sprites folder from here. Extract and add the sprites into your project.
1. Create a New Scene. Drag and drop the ground sprite onto the Hierarchy, this should create a ground object. Position it at (0, -4, 0). Set the Scale to (7, 3, 1).
2. Add a PolygonCollider2D component to this ground object.
3. Add a New Layer named Ground and set the layer of the ground object as Ground.
4. Drag and drop the Wheel sprite onto the Hierarchy just like you did for the ground sprite. Now, you should have a Wheel object in the Scene. Add a CircleCollider2D component to it.
5. Now, while the Wheel object is selected in the Hierarchy, create an Empty gameobject so that it is created at the same position as the Wheel object. If it is not created at the same position, change it's position the wheel's position. Rename the object to GroundHitCheck and make it the child of Wheel object.
The Physics2D.OverlapCircle takes three parameters in the above function which are the empty object's position, which is (0, 0) in our case. Note that it is a Vector2. The second parameter is the radius to which the circle extends. It is set to 1 as the radius of the wheel is also 1.
The third parameter is the list of layers that we should check for overlap.
Not to forget, this function returns a boolean.
7. Attach the above script to the Wheel object. Drag and drop the GroundHitCheck object into the field Ground Check 1. Select the Ground layer from the ground_layers dropdown.
We are done with the setup and coding. All that is left is to test and see if it works.
Click on the play button or hold ctrl+p to test the scene and check how the console displays true / false when the wheel is moved towards the ground and taken away from it.
This is how you check if the object is grounded for an object that is circle shaped, if you have a rectangle or a square shaped object you would want to use the OverlapArea function which accepts two Vector2 parameters (two Vector2 for the two diagonal ends of the square or rectangle) and a layer_mask parameter just like the OverlapCircle.
To use it you would simply create two empty gameobjects and place them at two diagonal ends of your object or place them at points where you want to raise a GroundHit flag when those position hit the ground.

Yes, you’ve heard it before, probably at least a million times since you started law school, and probably at least a million more times before you make it out of law school. Why? Because it is so much more important than we realize.
I have to admit, my social media is pretty clean. I just don’t use it all that often, and when I do, typically I’m trolling for cat videos or dog shaming photos or something brilliant like that. So when I hear about employers looking at it, I might be doing a mental eye roll and forgetting about it.
What made me sit up and take notice was when MY employer let me know that a new hire had been “unhired” before the start date. Why? The employer had googled the new person and didn’t like what came up. By the way, the employer is over 60 but one of the coolest (read non-conservative, non-judgey) people I know.
So are they honestly looking? And if they are, what is the bad stuff? Cussing, political posts?
Yes! According to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey, more employers are using social media to search prospective employees every year, and finding more and more reasons not to hire.
Most of us would probably never post anything overtly bad, but these don’t seem that bad. I bet we’ve all got a funny law school meme that maybe says something about going to class unprepared or maybe funny drinking things. While you may know it’s a joke, is someone else looking at it and thinking “maybe this person won’t be prepared with my clients?’ You’ll never know, because they probably won’t tell you that it was just that silly law school meme that you snatched and reposted from another site.
Check it out. You may want to do a little spring (or late winter) cleaning on your social media!

The perfect resume is an elusive beast. It's never a done document because you should be continuously updating it to keep it current. Your experiences build it up and expand the content with every responsibility and success measurement you've ever possessed and achieved. Yet, you must be succinct in telling the compelling story that is your career to this point. The information you're providing needs to be easily read by the hiring company gatekeeper. But, to appease the word query applicant tracking systems used by many companies, it does have to include every key word or phrase that you believe a computer may flag and bring you to the attention of a human who may be lacking a discerning pair of eyes.
You have a two page or maybe three page resume (maybe even more?!). You tell yourself that it is what it is because that's who you are. You weren't able to edit it down to anything less. Your awesomeness along with key word queries come into your thinking. You want to share so many important parts of your career with people. At least that's how you perceive them. Then, you may get worried that the hiring organization's HR analyzing computer won't flag you as a candidate of interest because it didn't see enough of the pre-selected criteria that the search is based upon. The content decisions you make will matter.
• Be succinct. I suggest taking your resume down to the bare bones in terms of basic information and then build it up with accomplishments and highlight your key performance successes. Percentage of growth is sweet to behold wherever it's applied.
• Take the opportunity to provide context to what your company's purpose is along with the purpose of your individual responsibility. Assume that the reader is not familiar with the company you worked for and what they do. An explanation of your role will help the reader understand the impact you had on the organization.
• Note the promotions and commendations you've received throughout your career. This may even include a quote from a past supervisor or peer about your outstanding performance.
• Include any career-related opportunities you've been a part of to help others. This would be speaking engagements, industry organization affiliations, participation and/or leadership roles within volunteer organizations. Or, note the clubs that you have been a part of and have supported.
• Be open to drafting an unlimited number of iterations of your resume to achieve the goal of creating a one page resume. Once you have that one page resume, you'll have gotten to the core of who you are and what you've done. You will have, wittingly, formed the most important stories of your background to share with prospective employers. You want to be mindful of including the key words that are common with your roles to catch the computer's thinking and selection. So, if you're feeling restricted with the one page challenge, go ahead and stretch it into two. But, it's important for you to know that you were able to get it on one page. I suspect you'll like it better than your more lengthier version. Expect to fine-tune it over the next week or so and know that you'll go after it again and again.
As you grow, so does your story. Your resume will need to be updated...again.

An uncertain, fluctuating Canadian real estate market can be absolute nightmare conditions for an agent or mortgage broker to work in. Your efficiency, closure rates, and overall success will be more dependent on your underwriting than ever. Let’s look at considerations and contingencies.
First – lenders can get finicky when house prices begin to fluctuate and begin taking extra measures, such as asking for appraisals when they normally wouldn’t, tightening mortgage underwriting practices as it relates to clients, properties, property types and areas, and lending more conservatively.
What can you do? Expand lender relationships with lenders that are competitive to your current lender base. You want to do this before a lender you rely on flops out.
Second – mortgage underwriting. When the real estate market is fluctuating, it can be hard for the homeowner and you to really know what their property is worth. When you are working deals that blow up on appraisal, your time is wasted as is your clients’ time and the lenders’. The client is coming to you for help because they want a professional to organize their mortgage. They are relying on you to quote and put together a deal that will actually happen.
What can you do? Look at a tool to independently validate your applicant’s property values, preferably the same tool that your lenders use, such as AVMs – this will save you valuable time. This will also help you overcome the first point discussed.
Third – opportunities. While you may have been that much more thorough when underwriting your deals, uncertainty creates opportunity because people react to what they hear in the media. The housing market for the past couple of years has been a favorite topic for newscasters. Interest rates increasing and the Canadian real estate market cooling – in other words, the sky is falling — has been a big news story.
This is a perfect time to throw budget into marketing your refinancing business. In this environment, it’s also the ideal time for people to use home equity to consolidate debt and reduce monthly payments in preparation for mortgage renewals at higher interest rates.
Mortgage underwriting in an uncertain Canadian real estate market doesn’t have to be nightmare. With the right resources, you can help your clients stay in or purchase their dream home.
Purview has the tools to help you take on the fluctuating market.

Our top priority is to assure that we remain equipped for the continued growth for those who have been our partners in establishing the WindsorONE (W1) brand. We will support, and grow, the win-win business relationships that W1 is fortunate to have built with each of you: our Core Customers. Investment into California, Virginia and Chilean manufacturing operations will continue, thereby ensuring a consistent supply of a consistent quality product, including capacity increases to sustain your W1 growth.
It has been a demanding 2016 for Windsor Mill as well – starting with a mild winter and greater than expected spring demand, which now continues into summer. Initially, we thought this was simply an acceleration of typical order patterns. However, it now appears overall demand will be greater than we all expected. The W1 order file is strong, and that is because of your growth (same store plus new yards) combined with our new customer growth that we have been targeting for years.
W1 has grown over the years because of your support, and we cannot thank you enough for your commitment. We will continue to build business relationships with our Core Customers that are Built to Last – (one of my favorite business books, e-mail me and I would be happy to send you a copy!).

Young said during a debate Monday night in Anchorage that the legal defense has been expensive, and that he has used campaign money because he doesn't have money of his own to spend defending the inquiry.
He would not detail the exact nature of the investigation, but Congress has called on the Justice Department to investigate an earmark in Florida that stood to benefit a campaign contributor. Young also has been tied to federal probe into corruption in Alaska politics, which included the fundraising practices of the former oil-services company Veco Corp. and its chief executive, Bill Allen. Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted last week on charges he knowingly accepted gifts from Veco without reporting them on his financial disclosure forms.
"When the government decides to investigate you, it's my job to work with them, as I've done with my lawyers," Young said Monday night at the debate. "When this is all said and done, I believe you'll see that the investigation is not warranted; in fact I will be exonerated."
Young's chief of staff, Mike Anderson, said the congressman has no further comment on the legal expense fund. House ethics rules prohibit Anderson, who also serves as Young's campaign spokesman, from soliciting money for the legal expense fund or speaking about it.
Most of the money for the fund came from large fishing, shipping or construction companies based in Alaska or Seattle, including Aleutian Spray Fisheries, Boyer Towing Inc., Osborne Construction and Trident Seafoods, which each contributed $5,000.
Friends, including Jim Jansen of Lynden Transport and William Corbus, the former state revenue commissioner under Gov. Frank Murkowski, also made donations. Billy Lee Evans, a former Democratic congressman from Georgia, and his wife, Renetta, gave $2,000.
Many -- but not all -- of the contributors to the legal expense fund have also given to Young's campaign over the years. One of the biggest contributors to his past campaigns is the head of Trident Seafoods, Chuck Bundrant, who has donated $6,400 to Young's campaign since 2003, according to a database of campaign contributions kept by the Center for Responsive Politics. Bundrant's family has contributed another $4,000.
The company's general counsel, Joe Plesha, said Trident would not comment on its contribution to Young's legal fund.
Employees of Seattle-based Aleutian Spray Fisheries have donated $13,950 to Young's campaign over the past five years. The company and one of its subsidiaries, Starbound LLC, contributed a total of $10,000 to Young's legal fund. Company executives did not return phone calls.
Young set up the expense fund earlier this year to help pay for his legal expenses. The fund was established so that his campaign cash wouldn't have to go toward lawyers, but also so that he could tap a new source of donors, including people who had already given to his campaign.
The legal fund allows donors who have already contributed the maximum $4,600 allowed by law to contribute as much as $5,000 in additional money to the legal expense account. Lobbyists are barred from donating to it, and Young can't actively solicit contributions. But individuals who aren't lobbyists and corporations are allowed to give him money. Corporations are forbidden from donating directly to re-election campaigns, however.
Federal Election Commission guidelines allow public officials to spend their campaign money on attorneys, as long as the legal work is connected to the lawmaker's role as an officeholder.

My no longer frequenting Twitter means the return of Link of the Day! Yay! Maybe. And what better way to mark the occasion than a dating link? Whether this vindicates your own experiences (or more likely shows you up to be a big fat liar yourself) there's no doubting that not only do people turn all creative when pimping themselves out, but also that it seems to work.
My advice? Well, be honest yes, but not only in terms of how you choose to describe yourself; we have to equally be honest about how the world works and what we want but can't admit to wanting. Which could mean a pretty face, fat wallet or decent height. Denial is both wasteful and unhelpful, so just cut it out already.
I will definitely bear this in mind next time I am on an online dating site. Very useful..
You're still looking? You've been searching for years, firmly caught in the paradox of (too much) choice. There isn't a new type of girl you haven't met you and at some point you'll realise this. After you meet her, I hope you find the years you spent searching for rather than enjoying a marriage worth it.
In other words, deal. That's when you win.
Agreed. Some people enjoy theorising about marriage rather than actually take part in one.
There is no perfect person. Successful marriages require hard work and compromise right from the beginning. BUT having read your blog and knowing your wonderful insight, I think the sooner you get closer to Allah (swt), the sooner He (swt) will deliver. By the way, He (swt) knows whether you're sincere or not.

You know your child is sick when they go and lay down all by themself.
We have had sickness in our house for over a week now and quite honestly it's getting kinda old. A week and 1/2 ago Isabella had sore throat and fever, so I took her into the Dr. and she tested positive for strep. She got on a free antibiotic (thanks Meijer!) Two days later Jack started with the same symptoms. Thank you again to Meijer for the free antibiotic! Wednesday last week (3 days after Jack) William had the same things different day. Thank you to Meijer...again. And Suzy surprised us with getting a sinus infection. And me well I got the strep with a side of fever one day after William. So count them...5 antibiotics for this family of 6. With some kind of luck Donovan escaped the fun.
Isabella and Jack had finished their antibiotics and seemed like they were well over the last 5 days...until this morning. Jack woke up this morning at 3 a.m. with fever, headache, and cough. So Donovan got him set up on medication and a floor nest by our bed....and then 1 hour later had to get up to leave for Chicago where he is flying out of for a business meeting. For 3 days. OH joy. I then got up about 6:45 to get Isabella ready for school who I promptly put back to bed because she was running a fever and had dizzy spells with a headache...I guess just for fun. The worst part was I had babysitting lined up today so that I could meet this sweet friend for lunch & then shopping at the outlet mall. So cancel cancel cancel. What a bummer. Does this seem like a whining session? Yep. Sure enough it is.
*Donovan will only be gone 2 nights.
*The sun is shinning and it is beautiful outside.
*A friend gave me a ton of clothes to look through that she was going to take to the resale. Perfect sizes for 2 of my children and just the right things I needed for our spring break vacation. So really it's like a garage sale right in the convience of my own home.
*No one is throwing up.
*This weekend is our churches woman's retreat, complete with massages. It couldn't be coming at a better time!
On the way home from Goshen last week the kids begged to watch a movie.
Donovan: "No, you don't need to watch a movie. You've had enough screen time today."
William: "No fair. We never get to watch a movie in the van"
Donovan: "You know when I was a kid we didn't have DVD's, or CD's. We didn't watch movies let alone in a car. We didn't have a TV and we barely had a radio."
William: "Did you even have a house?"
I completely feel your pain on the sickness. We have had something wierd going around here. Running high fevers and headaches along with body aches and all you want to do is sleep. It then turns into a wonderful sinus/bronchial thing. Good thing.... what ever it is, it isn't bacterial so don't have to go the antibiotic route. Bad thing..... It takes FOREVER to get over,I'm going on week 4 and still can't do much without becoming exhausted. Hope you all feel better soon! I'll be praying for you.
Salud, amiga! Hope the health comes back soon. Isn't the sun shining?
Soon you'll be soaking it all up on the beach...what a dream!
Hope you can still have your special breakfast today. Let's reschedule that lunch date sometime soon. Love ya.
Beth...sounds like we had the same thing. I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for your prayers. I feel them.
Krista..the sun is shinning and I love it!!

The law is more than just a profession for lead attorney Gregory Kirakosian; it's in his blood. Growing up in a family of California judges, public defenders, prosecutors and plaintiff laywers, Greg found his calling in the courtroom. He ahs a deep respect for the law and firmly believes that civility, credibility and integrity are some of the most important attributes for achieving positive outcomes.
Prior to launching Kirakosian Law APC, Greg earned his stripes as a trial attorney by working several years in one of the nation's most successful criminal and civil litigation firms, GERAGOS & GERAGOS. Greg worked side by side with the world renowned trial lwayer Mark Geragos and handled numerous high-profile and complex cases.
He also gained experience on the defense site of catastrophic personal injury cases and highway tort claims while working at Caltran's Legal Division, assisting its Chief Counsel with depositions and trial preparation. This provided Greg with a strong grasp of government immunities and understanding of what it takes to beat a government entity in court.
Greg's success as an attorney also stems from paying close attention to detail and having an overwhelming understanding of the law to be able to find multiple angles in a case to outmaneuver the opposition. He's motivated to go above and beyond to win for his clients who have been wronged and injured by negligence or intentional conduct of others. Most importantly, Greg strives to shepherd his clients through the complex and confusing process by keeping them informed and empowered in their quest for justice.
Besides his private practice, Greg has served on ACLU's Jails Project helping inmates receive proper medical and psychological care. He serves as the legal counsel for the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee for the development construction and maintenance of the PAGMC genocide memorial.

I just wanted to share really quick (because I'm incapable of words right now) - I've been searching for the denim jacket of my dreams FOREVER, and how about that? I find it at Forever 21.
Whenever I'm in a mood (or feel like I have absolutely nothing to wear), I rely on a monochromatic outfit to pull me through the day.
All colors are starting to turn me away from my usual all-black outfits and when I snagged this dress from a friend who didn't want it anymore.
As a true California beach go-er, I'm really not one to wear pants.
Anyone who knows me well knows that a hat is my go-to when it comes to finishing off an outfit.
Everybody may be waitin' for the weekend, but when you're living in Orange County, California (like I am), almost every day feels like summer vacation.

It’s no secret that I love champagne, so when I was invited to a brunch hosted by Veuve, I was over the moon! Brunching is one of my favorite things to do on the weekend when it’s nice outside and that Sunday afternoon couldn’t have been more perfect! The weather had finally broken it’s negative streak and was a balmy 40 degrees, so naturally, I ditched the pants and tights and I put on the fullest floral midi skirt I own. I may have looked a little out of place, and let’s be real, I was definitely pushing it with the skirt and striped shirt, but it felt really nice to not be so bundled up for once!
The brunch itself was held at Sophie’s at Saks Fifth Avenue with a view that overlooks Michigan Avenue. We enjoyed small bites like these delicious mini burgers, scrambled eggs with lobster and chicken & waffles. Of course, they were all paired with Veuve Cliquot! We sampled the brut and the rosé and I have to admit, I was blown away by the rosé. It was fabulous and ended up becoming my new favorite!
We listened to some history about Cliquot — did you know that it was taken over by Madame Clicquot at the ripe age of 27? She developed a technique to remove excess yeast and keep the champagne from getting cloudy. A more advanced version of this technique is still used today, pretty crazy right?! I’ve started thinking of her as the original #GirlBoss. Before the brunch ended, I finally got to ask the one question I’ve been wondering for years, how on earth do you actually pronounce Veuve Clicquot? Turns out I’ve been saying it wrong, oops! It’s pronounced ‘vuhv klee-koh’, the easiest way to remember? Veuve, like love!

A new remote access trojan named Parasite HTTP uses macros in Microsoft Word documents to spread and is modular, allowing for the addition of new capabilities.
Researchers from security firm ProofPoint said Parasite HTTP was a professionally coded modular remote administration tool for Windows written in C. It had no dependencies apart from the operating system itself.
They said the malware had an impressive number of techniques for sandbox detection, anti-debugging, anti-emulation and other protections.
Uptil now, the malware had only been observed in a single email campaign with the intended recipients being in the IT, healthcare and retail industries.
The message that arrived purported to be a resume with the following subjects: advertised position, would like to apply, or application. The attachments had names like my_cv.doc, resume_.doc, cvnew.doc, cv.doc and new_resume.doc.
A Word document used to spread Parasite HTTP.
"Threat actors and malware authors continuously innovate in their efforts to evade defences and improve infection rates," Proofpoint said.
"Parasite HTTP provides numerous examples of state-of-the-art techniques used to avoid detection in sandboxes and via automated anti-malware systems.
"For consumers, organisations, and defenders, this represents the latest escalation in an ongoing malware arms race that extends even to commodity malware like Parasite.
"While we have currently only observed Parasite HTTP in a small campaign, we expect to see features like those used in Parasite continue to propagate across other malware variants."

An Amazon river cruise is an essential voyage for people interested in wildlife and the natural world.
The Amazon is a natural wonder in its own right; an Amazon cruiseto explore this mighty waterway is an iconic expedition and one of the best ways to discover the jungles of Brazil and Peru.
The Amazon is synonymous with adventure and intrepid exploration; the second longest river in the world, it has by far the largest waterflow of any river as it courses 4,000 miles from the Andes to the sea. A luxury Amazon cruise allows you to experience this wild and wonderful landscape in style and comfort.
You can cruise in both wet (December to April) and dry (May to November) seasons, with benefits to each. During the dry season – a relative term – the rainfall and water levels are lower meaning you can venture further ashore, although it is hotter. Higher water levels in the wet season mean you can explore smaller tributaries more easily and will see a richer variety of wildlife.
Most journeys up the Amazon begin in Brazil and take you 1,000 miles upstream to Manaus, calling at the 150-mile-wide Amazon Delta, the trading port of Santarem and Alter do Chao. Beyond Manaus the character of the river changes as it narrows dramatically and draws in the forest to the ship's deck.
Finally it reaches the frenetic frontier port of Iquitos in the jungles of Peru. This is the furthest west that ocean-going ships can travel. Shorter cruises also originate from here and take in the Yarapa River’s pink and grey freshwater dolphins as well as the Yacapana Isles.
Pink river dolphins, caiman and sloths are just a few of the wildlife highlights, whilst you'll also be treated to impressive flocks of birds along the river's length. Village visits, jungle treks and exploratory canoe trips are all possible as exciting excursions.

Sum to gain the concession for providing all the soap for the City of London. Sadly, the particulars of this enterprise were lost in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Only one detail remained; lavender was a used to perfume the soap. Almost 390 years later, to the current day, English lavender is still synonymous with Yardley London.
English Rose Luxury Body Wash- A must for rose addicts. Combining rose absolute, neroli and chamomile, with a heart rosebud and jasmine petals with warm base notes of amber and sandalwood. I totally agree with the title of this body wash, luxury in a tube. I love a body wash which lathers up and leaves your skin feeling silky soft and smooth.
Lily of the Valley Moisturising Body Lotion- Is best described as an elegant scent which may not appeal to everyone. The formulation of the lotion is perfect, it's actually creamier than some lotions I've tried before. It feels light on the skin and absorbs easily without leaving a greasy layer. Shea butter and glycerine help soothe dryness and hydrates the skin alongside grape seed oil and sweet almond oil. Citrus notes combined with fresh spring flowers including, jasmine, geranium and magnolia make the scent come alive.
Royal English Daisy- is my favourite scent out of the three and it does remind me of Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh ever so slightly. With a fresh dewy green floral scent and energetic top notes of green leaves and apples. Combined with hyacinth and white rose. I can't get enough of this and would be really interested to try the EDT version to see how it is on the skin and how it lasts. The cream itself is rich containing shea butter and cocoa butter. Whilst the texture is thick and cream it feels light and absorbs easily into the skin which is always a big factor when considering a hand cream. There's nothing worse than having a cream which leaves your hands slick like grease. My cuticles have been thanking me since using this.
Have you seen the new Yardley London body collection?
I wish I could try out the English Rose body wash :-) too bad i don't live in the UK!

Episode seventeen: “Ithaca,” Ulysses’s penultimate episode, is presented in a pseudo-scientific catechism with a decidedly objective tone. The language creates what is described by Joyce as a “mathematico-astronomico-physico-mechanico- geometrico-chemico” sublimation of Bloom and Stephen (qtd. in Ellmann 501). However, as John Hannay points out “the rhetoric of objectivity leads paradoxically to an exaggeration of human absurdities through unintended puns, metaphors, and emotionally charged parallels” (141). The presentation of this episode in a seemingly analytic style is paradoxically both balanced and upset by the crass act of dual urination by the co-protagonists of this epic tale. At this climactic moment, Bloom and Stephen are brought together in a diametric symbolic scene. The scene embodies so many of the already suggested themes strewn throughout the preceding text, themes that encompass Joyce’s obvious interests and frustrations with the Dublin society of his time. Within the content-mosaic of Ulysses, Joyce’s themes unfold from one-another, stemming from his metaphoric view of Dublin society as a microcosm of universal truths. The every-day minutia of Dublin’s society provided symbols and clues to the history of not just the Irish, but all of humankind; thusly, Joyce embedded these themes symbolically into his various characters, namely (for purposes of this critique) Stephen and Bloom, though certainly not exclusively. Helen Georgi claims that Joyce identifies “life with art;” and accordingly, he “transforms the problems of life into the enigmas and puzzles of his art” (329). Using his creative art form, Joyce presents Ulysses as a riddle, requiring the reader to be an active participant in discovering, not just what the answers are, not just where the clues are hidden, but additionally, what is a clue and what is not.
A profusion of themes presented throughout Ulysses are encrypted in Joyce’s employment of multiple schemas and interpretative lenses#, as well as rhetorical devices acting as illicit persuasion techniques. The resultant narrative contains the commentary and clues that focus on human behavior throughout history found within the covert and overt use of “traditional legend, myth,” and “esoteric lore” (Georgi 330). Underlying Joyce’s focus on human behavior throughout history lies the history of religion and humankind’s response and reaction to religion. Religion encompasses the varying theories of creation, which extends into notions of philosophy. Philosophy offers themes focused on the various theories of self and being. Thus far, these themes contain an historical account of humankind’s teetering balance on the delicate scale that has weighed the importance and existence of spirituality against the ever intruding theories and laws of science. The scientific theme embodies the field of mathematics, physical matter, and psychology. Psychology introduces theories on consciousness and unconscious matter, echoing Stephen’s quandary with the “ineluctable modality of the visible” (Ulysses p. 31, l. 1).
The above mentioned themes encompass the real-life experiences shared by humans throughout time and ultimately Joyce’s experience growing up in Dublin in the late 19th Century. Ulysses is an artistic literary mosaic that suggests the complex interweaving of the microscopic threads that comprise the tapestry of these universals themes. Woven by a loom constructed from personal experiences, Joyce blends the personal with the universal, transforming them into the imaginative, creating an epic tale that embodies the colorful array of ideas and themes into the minutiae of a single day in Dublin, experienced and primarily portrayed through Bloom and Stephen’s eyes.
Bloom and Stephen symbolically embody one side of each of these varying aspects as assigned above. Because the “analytic and metaphoric dimensions to the style of ‘Ithaca’ are personified by Bloom and Stephen,” the climax to Ulysses is appropriately represented by the image of Bloom and Stephen simultaneously micturating amid a cryptic narrative containing a condensed and enmeshed form of their previous scattered symbols and perspectives (Hannay 141). This sublimated narrative is elevated to zenith proportion by its culmination of all of these topics, theories, and queries, all of which are represented in a supposedly objective reality, and coexisting in a simultaneously parallel and paradoxical relationship with each other.
Herein, the reader finds Bloom and Stephen standing in the yard outside Bloom’s house, which symbolically stands on their one side while the gate that leads out to a lane on the north side of Eccles Street lies on their other side. While standing in Bloom’s garden they urinate simultaneously while looking up at the glowing light coming from Molly’s bedroom where she sleeps. Coincidentally, their elevated contemplations simultaneously behold a shooting star that arches across the waning night sky. A primal biological excretion of bodily waste simultaneously occurs with a phenomenal celestial act at the apex of Bloom and Stephen’s prophesized meeting. This apex of absolute dichotomous juxtaposition of a moment in time and space, wherein the reader is witness to apogee and perigee congruently, reminds us that Bloom and Stephen’s relationship has been persistently compared and contrasted through the themes of time, space, flux, and language, since the beginning of the novel (Heusel 136). When these chance congruencies of a bifurcated nature entwine, they embody the collision of Bloom and Stephen’s symbolic centripetal and centrifugal values.
The distinct dichotomy of themes and motifs is simultaneously blurred and reinforced by the methodical use of paradoxical language employed by Joyce, which frames the episode in a parallactic structure. Clearly the reader’s comprehension, more specifically, interpretation of the text is complicated by Joyce’s conjunction of overtly antithetical language in parallel form. The “Ithaca” episode is dense with this paradoxical language-use. Consider, as an example, a response to one of the questions in “Ithaca,” which reveals—by way of this particular method of language-use—that Bloom had explicated one of the buried mysteries within the text with “indirect and direct verbal allusions or affirmations” (p.576, l. 1179). Herein, indirect and direct are diabolically opposed as are allusions and affirmations. Joyce’s conjoined manipulation of language, in these instances, has enmeshed the literal language# (signifier) with the intended meaning of the utterance (sign), a literary annexation or melding of langue and parole.
The relevance of this relationship is significant when one considers that the “sliding of the literal into the figurative is crucial for a proper understanding—and translation—of any metaphor” (Popov 3). Therefore, as Popov suggests, in order to properly begin to understand the meaning of Ulysses, a written text that contains references to these dichotomous elements of language, literature, and meaning, one needs to be aware of the peculiar, paradoxical, and elusive outcomes when the literal and the literary cross.
Heusel is claiming that Ulysses comes to us on a three-dimensional platform offering what she calls “a parallactic phenomenon,” which forces the reader to synthesize Bloom and Stephen’s shifting perspectives with their own speculations and contemplations on the text (135). This directive is found wherever the language suggests multiple points of view converging, such as in the complete sentence that the opening quote was pulled: “Silent, each contemplating the other in both mirrors of the reciprocal flesh of theirhisnothis fellowfaces” (Joyce 577, ll.1183-84).
Bloom and Stephen’s meeting in “Ithaca” is preceded by a strategic placement of parallax images that eventually build-up to the climactic urination scene. When Bloom first considers the meaning of parallax, he is wandering the Dublin streets, “contemplating the method of calculating time by referring to stellar space” (Heusel 136): “After one. Timeball on the ballastoffice is down. Dunsink time. Fascinating little book that is of sir Robert Ball’s. Parallax. I never exactly understood. There’s a priest. Could ask him. Par it’s Greek: parallel, parallax” (Joyce 126, ll.109-12). Much earlier in the text, in the “Proteus” episode, Stephen also considers the perception of time and space as he strolls along Sandymount Strand contemplating the ineluctable modality of the visible and the audible through his own existence . He concludes, “I am, a stride at a time. A very short space of time through very short times of space. Five, six: the Nacheinander” (Joyce 31, ll.11-13).
Images of water surround both these references as these images also infiltrate the totality of Ulysses from beginning to end. Just prior to the first textual mention of parallax, Bloom compares life to the running water of the Liffey: “How can you own water really? It’s always flowing in a stream, never the same, which in the stream of life we trace. Because life is a stream” (Joyce 126, ll.93-95). Bloom’s life is a stream metaphor immediately triggers him to think of urination: “All kinds of places are good for ads. The quack doctor for the clap used to be stuck up in all the greenhouses [public toilets]” (Joyce 126, ll.96-97). The connection between perceptions on the flux of time and space permeate the text alongside a multitude of water images, leading to the climax wherein all three foci of the novel are pulled together: “Bloom asks how can one own water, reminding us that Stephen asks how can one get hold of protean reality and that we ask how does one absorb such a protean novel?” (Heusel 137). In “Ithaca” we discover how Bloom and Stephen can make their own water, water that is created by their biological life force, water that is their own. The description of Bloom’s micturition reveals the changing nature of his stream, which is “less irruent […] who in his ultimate year at High School (1880) had been capable of attaining the point of greatest altitude against the whole concurrent strength of the institution, 210 scholars” (Joyce 577, ll.1193-96). Within this scene, we also are told that “the trajectories of their, first sequent, then simultaneous, urinations were dissimilar” (Joyce 577, ll.1192-93). The remaining dimension belongs to the reader, who, at this point, may or may not have figured out how to absorb this protean novel and solve its riddles with all its mysteries and hidden clues.
If we are to take Stephen’s word as a guide, than we must approach “Ithaca” as a complex enigma, containing portholes of discovery in every buried clue and these clues might be hidden within the textual errors.
But there is an important clue that Joyce gives no hint at, but one which frames the journey these two characters undergo in their quest to unite in “Ithaca:” it is the sounding of the bells of George’s church.
At approximately (or precisely) 8:45a.m., as episode one is drawing to a close, Stephen is found walking “along the upwardcurving path” and the following Latin lines come to his mind: “Liliata rutilantium. / Turma circumdet. /a Iubilantium te virginu.” (Joyce 19, ll.735-38). Don Gifford attributes these lines as “one part of Prayers for the Dying and quotes the Layman’s Missal as saying, “In the absence of a priest, these prayers for commending a dying person to God, may be read by any responsible person, man or women” (19). Gifford offers the following translation of the Latin phrase: “May the glittering throng of confessors, bright as lilies, gather about you. May the glorious choir of virgins receive you” (19). This symbolic frame is established when at that very same time, Bloom hears the “Heigho! Heigho!” of the tolling bells of George’s church (Joyce 57, l.546). And with these images, the reader ascends upon Ulysses.
According to Gifford, “Stephen alters the meaning by leaving out the phrase te confessorum [you, of confessors] and by altering the punctuation: ‘Bright [glowing] as lilies. A throng gathers about. Jubilant you of virgins. Chorus rescues [releases, exempts or receives]’” (586). This time, as Stephen takes leave of Bloom, his mind does not hear confessors, but rather, a chorus that rescues, releases, exempts, or receives. Stephen has undergone a transformation.
“All riddles end in cosmic harmony,” says Georgi, “accompanied by planetary music” (339). This was precisely Joyce’s conquest: to intricately weave the main symbolic transformation into the literary tapestry of Ulysses: “the change of Stephen and Bloom into heavenly bodies, wanderers like the stars at which they gaze” (Fleishman 377). The core meaning of archetypal content, “which ‘may be circumscribed but not described,’” Jean Kimball explains, “expresses itself, ‘first and foremost, in metaphors,’ and ‘even the best attempts at explanation are only more or less successful translations into another metaphorical language’” (205). “Words, phrases, situations, and characters become charged with additional meanings,” adds Stephen Whittaker; “These accumulated energies fire both the artist and his audience and supply the force to sustain areas of intricate or ambiguous significance” (36). The “Ithaca” episode concludes with the folding and unfolding of clues whose representative language offers a mathematical catechism; yet, this seemingly objective language ends up producing symbols, which are translated into metaphor, weaving for the reader the material necessary for the intricate creation of a literary riddle in epic proportions.

In one week you can shed your entire body weight, dignity and test your survival skills. All this and more can be achieved in the pay day diet. All you have to do if take part in the pay day diet, which to be honest is not really a choice for most of us.
Spend all your money in the three weeks of the month. Make sure you eat all in sight. Recklessly spend your money on cocktails, dinners out, take away. Never bring a packed lunch. This phase is for carb loading and bulk eating. If it flies, crawls or comes in a packet, eat it! If you feel full or guilt quieten those thoughts with some sugar. Think of these phases as feeding the monster within.
Watch your cupboard and bank account empty, this is natural and while a voice of reason might suggest tucking a few quid away but keep fighting that urge to be sensible and continue on a whirl wind spending spree. By week two you would have hoped to put on at least 3-5 pounds. Don’t’ worry this is the water phases. It will help with results.
Well if it’s a five week pay month then this will be a two week cleanse. You need to make sure you are almost destitute and have no money left. You should only have enough left for very bland meals. Porridge is a great way to feel full and replace meals, as are tins of beans, potatoes and frozen pizzas.
Dive deep into the freezer and pull out those dicey left overs from a few months ago. Sure the food poisoning is a great way to lose vital fluids and get another few pounds lighter, kinda like a colonic but less invasive. You might even get a few days off work too!
Beat the hunger by looking at pictures of food you will eat when paid. The salvation and hunger will help you to lose weight. Walk everywhere because you have no money to top up your leap card.
Fill up on all the free coffee at work.

Two Republican senators have made the first known criminal referral from congressional investigations of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, asking the Justice Department to determine whether former British spy Christopher Steele lied to the FBI.
Steele authored a dossier of allegations about President Donald Trump's ties to Russia, a lengthy document including salacious, unsubstantiated charges that he cavorted with prostitutes in Moscow.
Lawmakers cannot prosecute criminal activity. But they generally refer any criminal violations they find to the Justice Department. The senators said Friday that part of their criminal referral is classified.
'Maybe there is some innocent explanation for the inconsistencies we have seen, but it seems unlikely. In any event, it's up to the Justice Department to figure that out,' he added.
The result, he insisted, was the need for a special counsel to review Steele's conduct.
Democrats were furious that the first criminal referral in what has become known as Russiagate targeted not Trump campaign officials but an investigator who sought to blow the whistle on them.
Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, complained that committee Republicans never consulted her about petitioning the Justice Department for action on Steele.
'It's clearly another effort to deflect attention from what should be the committee's top priority, determining whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the election and whether there was subsequent obstruction of justice,' she said.
So far two Trump aides, George Papadopoulos and Gen. Mike Flynn, have pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI as a result of the special counsel probe led by Robert Mueller.
Graham may have been referring to the two in suggesting on Friday that Steele should face the same legal standard.
'If the same actions have different outcomes, and those differences seem to correspond to partisan political interests, then the public will naturally suspect that law enforcement decisions are not on the up-and-up,' he said.
The murky Democratic political intelligence firm Fusion GPS contracted with Steele to produce the dossier after receiving payments from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, which used a law firm as a middle-man.
'Publicizing a criminal referral based on classified information raises serious questions about whether this letter is nothing more than another attempt to discredit government sources, in the midst of an ongoing criminal investigation. We should all be skeptical in the extreme,' he said.
Fusion GPS hit back this week publicly at Republican investigators, asserting that the dossier was not the basis for the FBI's investigation of Donald Trump.
Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch penned an op-ed in The New York Times in which they blasted GOP lawmakers for focusing on them and their research, rather than on a skein of ties between Trump associates and Russia.
'We don't believe the Steele dossier was the trigger for the F.B.I.'s investigation into Russian meddling,' they wrote.
Simpson and Fritsch confirmed their relationship with Steele as well.
'Yes, we hired Mr. Steele, a highly respected Russia expert. But we did so without informing him whom we were working for and gave him no specific marching orders beyond this basic question: Why did Mr. Trump repeatedly seek to do deals in a notoriously corrupt police state that most serious investors shun?' they insisted.
They say they have handed information over to Republican investigators.
'We handed over our relevant bank records — while drawing the line at a fishing expedition for the records of companies we work for that have nothing to do with the Trump case,' they write.
They say they were shocked by what Steele uncovered, but never themselves went to the FBI.
'We did not discuss that decision with our clients, or anyone else. Instead, we deferred to Mr. Steele, a trusted friend and intelligence professional with a long history of fworking with law enforcement. We did not speak to the F.B.I. and haven't since,' they added.
The firm's cofounders said they 'helped' Steele when he decided to share the dossier with Arizona Sen. John McCain after the election. McCain subsequently brought the dossier to the FBI.
'The goal was to alert the United States national security community to an attack on our country by a hostile foreign power. We did not, however, share the dossier with BuzzFeed, which to our dismay published it last January,' they wrote.

On Tuesday, Loblaw Companies Ltd. and its parent company George Weston Ltd. admitted to participating in a bread price-fixing arrangement that started in 2001 and lasted until 2015.
The Competition Bureau is investigating at least seven companies for allegations of bread price-fixing, according to court documents.
"They had agreed in advance that at a certain date these prices would increase for 14 years. That's a long time."
According to Strauss, the allegations of involvement include Canada's three largest grocery chains, Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro, the two biggest bread makers — Weston bakeries (part of the Loblaws/Weston empire) and Canada Bread — as well as Walmart and Giant Tiger.
"This could have been hundreds of dollars for the average consumer. And this is a staple," said Strauss.
Sobeys and Metro, two of Loblaws' largest competitors, said they are fully co-operating with the Competition Bureau investigation.
In a statement Wednesday, Canada Bread said the company operates "with the highest ethical standards and is co-operating fully with the investigation."
The five largest food retailers in Canada — Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro, Walmart and Costco — control 80 per cent of the market, according to Strauss.
"There's a lot of concentration in this market," said Strauss. "I think that's the underlying question here … OK, this is bread, and it is basic, and it's sad for a lot of families. But it raises the question: what other aisles?"
Strauss pointed to the angry reaction from independent stores.
"They've been calling the Competition Bureau, warning them for years that it's not an even playing field anymore."
Last month, the Competition Bureau executed search warrants at the offices of a number of grocers, but said it found no conclusion of wrongdoing and no charges were laid.
Following its admission, Loblaw Companies Ltd. will receive immunity from criminal charges — and has offered its customers a $25 gift card.
Under the Competition Act, penalties for price-fixing include fines of up to $25 million and imprisonment to a maximum term of 14 years, or both.
The Current requested an interview with Galen G. Weston, CEO of Loblaws companies. He declined to comment.
Unfortunately, we must decline the interview request as the investigation is ongoing and the Bureau is required by law to conduct its investigations confidentially.
However, I can confirm that George Weston Limited, Weston Foods (Canada) Inc. and Loblaw Companies Limited are the Immunity Applicant in relation to an ongoing criminal investigation into alleged anti-competitive agreements or arrangements between competitors.
This investigation is another example of the importance of the Competition Bureau's Immunity Program in detecting, investigating and deterring cartel conduct. The Bureau's Immunity and Leniency programs provide incentives for parties to come forward to secure immunity or leniency in return for their cooperation against others involved in the cartel.
These programs have both proven to be effective means of uncovering and breaking cartel activities prohibited by the Competition Act. Without them, many cartels would go undetected. The Immunity and Leniency programs are among the Bureau's best tools for detecting cartels, and we continually strive to improve their effectiveness.

Mark Wetmore, the University of Colorado's men's and women's cross country and track and field head coach, is one of the preeminent voices in distance running in the United States and has coached countless NCAA Champions, All-Americans, and future international stalwarts.
He's won seven team NCAA cross country championships, is a five-time NCAA coach of the year, and in 2014 was named USA Track and Field's co-coach of the year.
Below, Wetmore offers advice in some key areas of cross country. This interview is recirculated from a conversation in 2012.
"Fartlek is a Swedish term which means "speed play," and it just means that it's run with variations of speed along the way that could be completely controlled and maybe what we used to call aerobic the whole way. But then you could make it as hard as death defying 400s on the track if you want to. So fartlek can be used in a lot of different ways. Actually, everything can be used in a lot of different ways. What some people call a tempo run can be an all-out race if their athletes cross the finish line and collapse on the field. Then it was the same thing as running a race."
What is the importance of time off?
"They definitely need breaks throughout the year. We require two weeks off at the end of each six month macro cycle. So we cross ends with the NCAA -- one hopes they have a couple weeks off when outdoor track finishes, which is different. There are people who don't get to the conference meet and there are people who don't get beyond the conference meet. Anyway, they take a couple weeks off then. I don't mind if it's more than that."
"Most of them want to. I guess most of them are comfortable with a break. There are a few who always want to get going early. But we convince them it's necessary."
"Well, collegians have vacations, and so there is a Christmas break. When school is out for almost five weeks, our athletes probably come back one week early. They have three and a half to four weeks on their own in the winter, and then there's a spring break when we let them go -- if they want to. If they feel they need a break or if they're anxious to go home for awhile, we don't object to that. I think 20 years ago, I probably wanted them around as much as possible and felt that any day they were out of my sight was a day lost. But I've mellowed about that lately. We're comfortable with them going away. Emma Coburn is from a place called Crested Butte. It's a beautiful little mountain town in central Colorado and she really gets recharged by going home. And so we rarely dispute that when she says 'Can I have a three day weekend at home?'"
"I think just learning that they come back and they're OK and we didn't lose a lot of ground. It took awhile to trust that, and I'm sure athletes are different. Some athletes go home and don't get it done. But again, around here, if you don't get it done, you lose a lot of ground. We learned that they're going to take care of business when they're home."
"People are so different. When I used to run up here, it wasn't uncommon for me to run 15 miles at a heart rate at 172. And we have people who do tempo runs, at 156-160, on a track downtown. So it's such an individual difference in heart rate and response to elevation that really we have to gather data with each individual for a couple of seasons or a year and a half before we even know. Even here, it's so hilly that you might average 150 but you could be 180 on one side of the hill and 115 on the other side. It's kind of hard to run by an assigned heart rate. Really, we just gather data at the end and ask, 'What did you average in the end?' And see what we can learn from that."
"Anything you can learn might make you a little bit better and is worth trying. And even though I've been doing this for a long time, it would be a mistake to be satisfied, so we just keep trying to get better and better."
"I don't know if we ever let them loose. We let them loose on about five Saturdays in the fall and four or five days in the spring. That's letting them loose time. The rest of the time is control."
"There are people who like to go. And no matter how many speeches we give them, the little voice in their eye overcomes what I say. We have to stay on them. The good ones all want to go.
"We have another workout and 50 hours. And so they have to be ready to go on Tuesday. They'll go hard again on Thursday or Friday. If you're failing to recover slightly from one workout to the next. As it accumulates, you're in a big hole by the end of the season. Again, there's no science to it, I don't think. I suppose we can take blood tests of everybody 36 hours after every workout to see how recovered they were, but I'm not even sure a blood test would tell you everything you would need to know. Sensory data is more accurate once you learn how to read it. We have to communicate with them a lot and half trust what they tell us and half take it with a grain of salt and make a decision. Every athlete is unique. It changes from year to year. It keeps us on our toes."
"Well, of course, I guess you get a little bit better. One would hope you get better at it as the years go by. I'm lucky that I have two assistants that are also good at it and we can put our heads together and say 'Harry needs to rest' and 'Harry needs to go down a group.' Something like that."

Welcome to the future of desktop help. It's GNOME flavour!
Is that the actual screenshot in GNOME help? If it is, it shouldn't show distro apps, just GNOME ones.
No, it's fine. That level of detail doesn't matter. It should be typical, that's all.
To be honest, I think it's great that we showcase applications developed by others. It shows Gnome as a healthy ecosystem for application development.

Chhota Chetan is a 1998 Hindi movie directed by Jijo Punnoose. It was dubbed from the 1984 Malayalam movie, My Dear Kuttichathan — which was India's first 3-D film — and it went on to become a major box office hit.
It was the first feature film to introduce DTS for a stereoscopic 3D feature film. Although it was the dubbed version of My Dear Kuttichathan, the scenes with Hindi actors Urmila Matondkar, Satish Kaushik, Shakti Kapoor, Harish) and Ravi Baswani were re-shot for the Hindi version. Shakti Kapoor plays the part of a magician who tries to catch Chetan but gets trapped in a mirror. The part was originally played by Dominic Alumudan in the Malayalam version (Prakashraj did this role in its re-released Tamil version Chutti Chathan). Satish Kaushik plays the part of Jagathi Srikumar as a scientist who also tries to catch Chetan but gets destroyed (Santhanam played this role in Tamil version).

15th November 2017, New Delhi: The smog in Delhi NCR has become a regular affair. For the second consecutive year, the air quality in Delhi NCR in the first 2 weeks of November has reached toxic levels with PM 2.5 and PM 10 in the range of 600 – 1200. When the problem didn’t go away after a few days, the administration had to shut down schools and take other drastic measures to reduce pollution levels, including thinking of re-enforcing the even-odd rule.
Many cases of children having breathing problems, asthma attacks and other issues have been reported by parents in the last 2 weeks. Many parents have suggested that some leaves could be reduced from the summer, spring and winter break to make way for the 20 days smog leave in November, so that the children could stay indoors, travel elsewhere and avoid the short and long-term consequences of this deadly air. The way things have worked out last year and this in regards to working of schools during smog, it has been an uncertain situation for families as to whether the school will operate or not. Many important activities and annual events also happen during this period and have been disrupted due to school shutting down on some days. Parents believe it will take the Government atleast a few years to figure out an effective solution and till then the November holidays should be made a planned break.
To ensure there was large scale resonance for this ask, LocalCircles conducted a survey which received more than 13,000 votes and was conducted across Delhi/NCR. The first poll asked people if schools in Delhi NCR should have a scheduled shutdown between November 1 and November 20 every year to protect them from pollution smog. 55% respondents agreed with it while 38% did not agree with it. 7% were unsure if it should be done or not.
Stubble burning in the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana has been identified by NASA Fire Mapper, industry experts and the Government as the major root cause for the poor air quality in Delhi NCR. Majority of the citizens also agree with the same. The second poll asked if enforcing stubble ban effectively in nearby states can solve Delhi NCR’s pollution crisis. 59% answered in an affirmative. 27% replied in a negative while 14% did not have any opinion on it.
A stubble burning ban already exists in these states but there is limited enforcement by the state governments whatsoever due to the fear of losing the vote bank. In a related poll, 69% citizens suggested that CRPF could be deployed to enforce the ban. As per the CRPF role defined on its website, one of the duties that CRPF can be activated for is checking environmental degradation and protection of local flora and fauna.
