The Project
I built a "squarebot" using the VEX kit to compete in the challenge held at the end of an undergraduate engineering course. Each team builds a bot that runs on a known track autonomously. The one that travels the most laps in a fixed amount of time wins. Every team gets the same set of used kit *1, so the key to win is the software. Our team placed first in the final competition. The bot performed so well that the prof had to change the grading scheme to raise everyone else's grade.
A simple differential drive with one motor on each side. Well-understood, reliable, and easy to build.
The core of the challenge is just wall-following. There's no turn decisions to be made as it's not a maze. The simplest solution to the wall-following problem is just to lean to the opposite side when the bot drifts.
The track is narrow, so before making a turn, the bot needs to be at the center of the lane to clear a corner or it may hit the wall during the turn. With the primitive method, the bot wobbles along the center of the lane as it travels down the lane so there is no guarantee that it will be at the center of the lane when it reaches the end of a straight section.
After staring at it for a few laps, I got an idea: in addition to centering the bot on the lane, also align its heading to the direction of the lane. Heading can be inferred from consecutive readings from the distance sensor mounted on the side. For example, if the distance to the left wall is decreasing, it is leaning to the left and thus should adjust its heading to the right before proceeding. With this modification, the bot quickly settles along the center of the lane after every turn - the system is stable and converges quickly.
The effectiveness of that simple modification amazes me even to this day, but I only recognized the solution several years later: it was just a PD-controller.
*1: passed down from previous generations of students with broken connectors, bent wheel shafts, worn-out rechargeable batteries and mismatched motors - typical of any shared resource.

Obama's aids would not speak with the Trib (because they wanted to ask some questions), instead the got an email titled "To Team Pravda" and the content goes like this:Health insurers will terminate coverage for up to 250,000 Pennsylvanians as Obamacare unfolds with a troubled website that has prevented many from enrolling in plans online, the state Insurance commissioner said.
It's a Kafkaesque nightmare, said Michael Consedine, the state's chief insurance regulator.
Such cancellations are occurring nationwide, despite promises that were made by President Obama that people could keep plans rather than change them, Consedine said.
Obama's aides would not speak to the Trib with their names used for this story.

There was a lot of hype about the incredibly powerful technology behind Sony's upcoming NGP handheld when the device was first shown off a little over a month ago. One of the biggest pieces of speculation -- aided by the fact that they showed several PS3 demos running on the system -- was that this pocket-sized device had as much power as a PlayStation 3. Sony has now clarified that this is not quite the case.
Speaking during an NGP panel at the Game Developer's Conference, Sony platform research manager David Coombes explained why having a handheld with the same level of technology as the PS3 would not work:
"Well, it's not going to run at 2 GHz because the battery would last five minutes... and it would probably set fire to your pants."
While setting your pants on fire would surely make for a great icebreaker for whoever is sitting next to you on the bus or plane, it's probably not ideal for gaming. Coombes still promised an impressive device, though, noting that the NGP will have four CPU cores and an amount of RAM much closer to the PS3 than the PSP.

Question about 2002 Chevrolet Impala
Turn on all the switches to enable the cruise control and the lights are on but it will not engage. checked the fuses and all looks good. where do I go from here to find the problem? SOS
Posted by hairgodess20 on
where is the cruise control module
Check the cruise control module connector, see if it looks good and there is power to the module over one of the white wires in the 10 pin connector.
There are two white wires going to the module which is located at pins "G" and "J". There should be no voltage at pin "G" until the brake switch is applied. This switch is also used to operate the brake lights. The two wire colors on this switch are white and orange. At pin "J", this signal goes to the PCM to tell it that the cruise control module is engaged. Here is the info on the cruise control connector:
Pin A: gray - cruise control on switch signal: 12VDC with cruise switch on
Pin B: dark blue - cruise control set/coast switch signal: 12VDC with switch pressed
Pin C: gray/black - cruise control resume/accel switch signal: 12VDC with switch pressed
Pin D: brown - cruise control release signal: 12VDC with brake pedal not pressed: 0V when pressed
Pin E: black/white - ground
Pin F: brown - ignition 3 voltage: 12VDC with ignition on
Pin G: white - stop lamp switch signal: 0V with brake pedal not pressed: 12VDC when pressed
Pin H: dark green - cruise control inhibit signal: 0V if PCM detects an inhibit condition
Pin J: white - cruise control engaged signal: voltage (unsure of value, either 12VDC or 5VDC) when signal engaged
Pin K: dark green - vehicle speed signal: 1 to 5 volts depending on speed
This view of connector is facing it after it is separated.
Trying to post the connector view, the lines may not quite line up, but at least it should show you the pin positions.

The On/Off switch
The Resume/Accel switch
The Set/Coast switch
The TCC brake switch
The stop lamp switch
The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor
The vehicle speed sensor
Cruise Control Engaged
The cruise control system will engage and adjust the vehicle speed based on the activation of the following cruise control switches:
The cruise control switches are located on the multifunction/turn signal lever.
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the signal circuits of the cruise control switches in order to determine when to capture and maintain the selected vehicle speed. The PCM uses the throttle actuator control (TAC) module motor in order to control the vehicle speed. For further information on the TAC System, refer to Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description in Engine Controls - 4.2 L.
Ignition positive voltage is supplied from the 10 ampere HVAC 1 fuse to the cruise control switch via the ignition 3 voltage circuit. When the normally open cruise control On/Off switch is turned On, the switch closes and the PCM detects a high signal voltage on the cruise control on switch signal circuit. When the normally open Set/Coast switch is pressed, the switch closes and the PCM detects a high signal voltage on the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit. To engage the cruise control system, turn the On/Off switch On and momentarily press the Set/Coast switch. The PCM will confirm that the cruise control enable criteria has been achieved. The PCM will engage the cruise control system and record the selected vehicle speed. The PCM sends a class 2 message to the instrument panel cluster in order to illuminate the cruise control indicator. Pressing the accelerator pedal, while the cruise control system is engaged, will allow the driver to override the cruise control system in order to accelerate the vehicle beyond the current set vehicle speed. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will decelerate and resume the current set vehicle speed. The driver can also override the current set vehicle speed via the Set/Coast switch and the Resume/Accel switch. When the cruise control system is engaged, pressing and holding the Set/Coast switch will allow the vehicle to decelerate from the current set vehicle speed without deactivating the cruise control system. When the Set/Coast switch is released, the PCM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed. When the cruise control system is engaged, momentarily pressing the Set/Coast switch will allow the vehicle to decelerate at 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments for each time that the Set/Coast is momentarily pressed, with a minimum vehicle speed of 37 km/h (23 mph). When the normally open Resume/Accel switch is activated, the switch closes and the PCM detects a high signal voltage on the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit. Activating and holding the Resume/Accel switch, when the cruise control system is engaged, will allow the vehicle to accelerate to a greater vehicle speed than the current set vehicle speed. When the Resume/Accel switch is released, the PCM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed. When the cruise control system is engaged, momentarily activating the Resume/Accel switch will allow the vehicle to accelerate at 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments for each time that the Resume/Accel switch is momentarily activated, with the maximum acceleration total of 16 km/h (10 mph) over the current set vehicle speed . Momentarily activating the Resume/Accel switch, after the cruise control system has been disengaged by pressing the brake pedal, will recall the previous set vehicle speed that is recorded in the PCM.

Buying a Vacation Home in Melbourne Beach, FL | Melbourne Beach, FL Real Estate | Carolyn Smith, Realtor
Posted August 30, 2012on:
Carolyn Smith, Realtor – Melbourne Beach, FL Real Estate: Buying a Vacation Home in Brevard County Florida
With today's low mortgage rates and reasonable housing prices, many people are considering buying a second home or a vacation home in or near Melbourne Beach, Florida. It only makes sense, as Melbourne Beach is known for its fabulous weather, beautiful beaches, abundance of outdoor activities, proximity to the theme parks and attractions of Orlando, and so much more! If you are thinking about purchasing a vacation home in Melbourne Beach, Florida, here are some things you might want to consider as you start your search for Melbourne Beach real estate:
1. Do you want a single family home, a townhome, or a condo in Melbourne Beach? Melbourne Beach, Florida is a very popular place for vacation homes due to the many different types of homes that are available, all of which are very close to the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River. You may consider an oceanfront condo, a riverfront townhome, a single family home on a canal, a single family home in a gated community, a luxury oceanfront estate, a condo with Indian River views, a single family home with its own private pool… the list goes on and on! There are so many great options for housing in Melbourne Beach, and the type of home you plan to buy is a very important aspect to consider.
The demands and costs of owning a single-family home are different than if you purchase a condo or a townhome. Condos and townhomes typically require less upkeep and maintenance than a single family home as the buildings and common areas are mainly taken care of by the association, but the monthly fees need to be factored into your budget. On the other hand, many single-family homes require maintenance such as lawn and pool care and upkeep that you will have to arrange to be taken care of while you are away from the home.
You should also consider the needs of your family – do you require extra space for children, will you need a fenced yard for pets, would you prefer a single-story home without stairs, do you need space to keep your boat or RV, etc. These are just a few things to think about as you start your search for a Melbourne Beach vacation home. As your Melbourne Beach Realtor, I can help you find exactly the type of home you are looking for, that will also meet the needs of your family.
2. Location of your Melbourne Beach vacation home – in Town or South Beaches? Melbourne Beach is located on a barrier island and is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, is bordered on the north side by the town of Indialantic, and on the south side by the Sebastian Inlet. The "official" town of Melbourne Beach is just 1.3 square miles, but when you add in the "unincorporated" section of Melbourne Beach, the town stretches to about 17 miles long.
If you are looking for convenience to the mainland and/or I-95, the ability to walk to Melbourne Beach's Flutie Field (yes, Doug Flutie is a resident and you may just run into him at our local Publix!), local parks and tennis courts, the Melbourne Beach Library, the Melbourne Beach Post Office, and various shops and restaurants, you probably would prefer purchasing a vacation home in or closer to the "official" town of Melbourne Beach. The town of Melbourne Beach is popular with families, folks who work in Melbourne or are frequent airline travelers, and anyone who likes the convenience of being able to reach stores, restaurants, and other conveniences without a lot of driving.
If you are looking for quiet beaches, easy boating access to Sebastian Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean, natural surroundings, minimal noise, and just a little bit more privacy, then the South Beaches may be for you. The South Beaches are popular with retired folks, vacationers, snowbirds, boaters, and those who work from home, as it takes just a little bit longer to get to the "hustle and bustle" of Melbourne and the surrounding areas from the South Beaches… but that is also why so many people love it there! Vero Beach is also very accessible from the South Beaches, so you have plenty of shops and restaurants both to the north in Melbourne, and to the south in Vero Beach.
All types of homes – condos, townhomes, and single family homes – are available in both Melbourne Beach "proper" and Melbourne Beach's South Beaches.
3. What type of view would you like – oceanfront, riverfront, canalfront, wildlife sanctuary or golf course? As I mentioned, Melbourne Beach is surrounded by water – the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River – so there are many options for vacation homes with spectacular views. There are lots of oceanfront homes, condos, and townhomes available, as well as riverfront homes, condos, and townhomes. In addition to oceanfront homes and riverfront homes, Melbourne Beach has several neighborhoods with deepwater canals that lead directly to the Indian River, perfect for boaters.
If you prefer having nature right in your backyard, Melbourne Beach is home to the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, which was established in 1991 to protect sea turtles and provide habitat for several other threatened and endangered species. Many homes in Melbourne Beach border Archie Carr refuge land, so the views will always be natural and protected.
Melbourne Beach has two golf courses, Spessard Holland Golf Course and Aquarina Beach and Country Club. Spessard Holland Golf Course is owned by Brevard County, and lies just to the south of the town of Melbourne Beach. Several single family homes border Spessard Holland Golf Course. Aquarina Beach and Country Club is a gated community with a semi-private golf course, and single family homes, condos, and townhomes are all available in this neighborhood, which is located in the South Beaches.
4. What types of activities are you interested in? Golf, tennis, boating, fishing, beach, kiteboarding, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, biking, bird watching, shopping… all are available in Melbourne Beach. When looking at vacation properties, you might want to focus on quality-of-life amenities that you and your family will enjoy. With 34 percent of vacation-home buyers eventually using the property as a primary residence, it is wise to purchase a vacation home where you will be happy both now and later, and where you will be able to find plenty of things to do while you are on vacation, and in future years. Once you decide which activities you will be participating on most often, we can find you a home that is convenient to these activities. Melbourne Beach has a variety of homes and communities that will meet the needs of whatever hobbies or activities on which you plan to spend your vacation time.
5. Will you rent out your Melbourne Beach vacation home? Studies show that buyers have very different attitudes and expectations about second homes that are primarily vacation getaways as opposed to those that are purchased for investment purposes. If you are able to first define the primary purpose of your Melbourne Beach vacation home, you'll be able to more effectively identify the features of the home and property that matter most. Also, be sure to research how the property's use will impact your financing options and taxes. Renting your Melbourne Beach vacation home may provide additional revenue, but if the home is in use for more than a few weeks a year, it might be classified as an investment property (and not eligible for full mortgage interest tax deductions). There are potential benefits for rented vacation homes such as deductions for property management and rental expenses. Consult an accountant to determine which factors will impact your financial outlays most and how you can manage these responsibly (Washington Post 5/29/12). Remember, that Brevard County regulations require rentals on properties zoned single family to be a minimum of 3 months so you will not be able to rent your single family home out for less than that unless it is located on land that is zoned multi-family.
If you are considering buying a vacation home in Melbourne Beach or any of our amazing Brevard County towns and neighborhoods, I can help you find a great home, condo, or townhome that will meet all of your needs. I can help you make decisions such as which area of Brevard County would be right for you, as well as what type of home would work for your family. Call me or email me and we can discuss your vacation home needs, and we can start searching for your dream vacation home together!

Today we have a post from [redacted], who has kindly offered to debunk UFI's Sexual Orientation Guide for us. Trust me, this is fun.
Okay, I'm only on the very first "point" in the UFI document, and I'm having major issues (gasp. shock.)
First of all, if you can't be bothered to properly spell the researcher's last name, I'm going to question the integrity of your research from GO. It's called "attention to detail" and IT FUCKING MATTERS. If you can't pay attention to small details, I'm going to deduce that you may not grasp more complex ones, asshat.
Okay, starting with number 1, which UFI cites as:
(Studyof 5,998 Dutch adults) Theo G.M. Sandforte et al., "Same-Sex Sexual Behavior and Psychiatric Disorders: Findings from the NetherlandsMental Health Survey and Incidence," Archives of General Psychiatry58, 10 (2001): 85-91.
Counterpoint 1 -- Sandfort. No e, asshats.
Counterpoint 2 -- Now, I'll give them the "et al" (even though there are only 3 other names, and it's not been cited previously in the paper [since we're on point one here] and also since there's not a compiled source of references at the end, which means this is NOT a proper APA style citation, but fine, whatever, benefit of doubt and not nitpicking, right?) Okay, so. The et al we're letting slide.
Next up....the volume number. Um, volume 10 of this journal in 2001 does not contain pages 85-91. Volume 1 does. So...typo, but again - attention to detail. I'm starting to wonder if they even want people to be able to find this study... I'm guessing NOT, since...
Counterpoint 3 -- Alvin and Pam at Pam's House Blend already wrote this up better than I could, so here. The gist of it is, this study doesn't say what these people want to say it says (shock. awe. gasp. NOT.) Honestly, people, it's bad enough you distorted the findings, but the researcher himself has said to STOP IT. Please...listen to Dr. Sandfort.
"There is a difference between the U.S. and the Netherlands in terms of acceptance of homosexuality. That does not mean that there is no homophobia (and homophobic damage) in the Netherlands. It is not clear how difference in climate affects the prevalence of mental disorders. We don't know the final answers, but in the U.S. as well as the Netherlands, homophobia is related to mental health problems.
He also said that Griggs and others who use the study to claim that homophobia does not have an effect on negative lgbt behavior are clearly distorting his work:"They use data to promote their moral convictions without truly understanding what the issues are. They are not interested in understanding how people's lives are affected by their social environment."
Okay, their second point. They cite two studies. Their 2A is
R. Herrell et al., "A Co-twin Control Study in Adult Men," Archives of General Psychiatry 56, 10 (1999): 867-874. **NOTE: The proper title of the study (really, do they not want people to be able to find these?) is:
Sexual orientation and suicidality: a co-twin control study in adult men
Also, can we just stop with naming only one author? If this is the only citation you're going to provide, and it's not in the context of a paragraph, you do NOT get to just say "Herrell et al." Proper APA citation requires you to list ALL of the researchers. Fuckwads. Oops, sorry.
Okay, so. They use this citation to support the following statement:
A co-twin study found that men with same-sexpartners were 6.5 times as likely as their cotwinto have attempted suicide. The higher rate was not explained by mental health or substance abuse disorders.
Well that sounds sort of bleak. Of course, it ignores the fact that just because gay marriage is legal in the Netherlands doesn't mean gay people don't face prejudice or discrimination or censure; it just means it's not legally permissible that the discrimination is institutionalized. Additionally, although it's technically correct, they conveniently left off the researchers' own results and conclusion, which according to the PubMed abstract , can be stated as
:RESULTS: Same-gender sexual orientation is significantly associated with each of the suicidality measures. Unadjusted matched-pair odds ratios follow: 2.4 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 - 4.6) for thoughts about death; 4.4 (95% CI, 1.7 - 11.6) for wanted to die; 4.1 (95% CI, 2.1 - 8.2) for suicidal ideation; 6.5 (95% CI, 1.5 - 28.8) for attempted suicide; and 5.1 (95% CI, 2.4 - 10.9) for any of the suicidal symptoms. After adjustment for substance abuse and depressive symptoms (other than suicidality), all of the suicidality measures remain significantly associated with same-gender sexual orientation except for wanting to die (odds ratio, 2.5 [95% CI, 0.7 - 8.81). CONCLUSIONS: The substantially increased lifetime risk of suicidal behaviors in homosexual men is unlikely to be due solely to substance abuse or other psychiatric comorbidity. While the underlying causes of the suicidal behaviors remain unclear, future research needs to address the inadequacies in the measurement of both sexual orientation and suicidality in population-based samples.
All right, that's a little confusing if you haven't taken stats or research design. Basically, they found strong association with gay men who, outside of those who were substance abusers and/or determined to be depressed, who measured higher than their twins in "suicidality measures." I'm still not sure why UFI thinks that people need to avoid being gay in order to avoid being suicidal. First, it ignores the fact that this study doesn't include any gay women. Second, it confuses correlation with causality. Straight men/boys commit suicide, too, and frankly, any number of suicides is too high (oddly, a not-insignificant number of them do it as murder-suicide and take other people with them. Including their children. Just to keep their ex-wives from thinking they can divorce them without "paying" for it.) (If that didn't make sense to you, please see: this article
So sure, being gay in the Netherlands is associated with higher risks of suicidal tendencies. Probably we want to address this risk. Perhaps we might want to see if anti-gay attitudes contributed to this? (Oh, no, wait, that wouldn't do AT ALL.) Regardless, I think another thing ignored by UFI here is the researchers' own conclusion where it says that "While the underlying causes of the suicidal behaviors remain unclear, future research needs to address the inadequacies in the measurement of both sexual orientation and suicidality in population-based samples." It's pretty clear here that: number one, correlation does not equal causation, and number two, the ways that sexual orientation and suicidality were measured in the study are problematic. I guess if this study saw correlations between happiness and orientation, UFI might ignore it as inconclusive. Le sigh.
All right, on to 2B. Which UFI cites as:
Ping Qin, Esben Agerbo, and Preben Bo Mortensen, "Suicide Risk inRelation to Socioeconomic, Demographic, Psychiatric, and FamilialFactors: A National Register-Based Study of All Suicides in Denmark,1981-1997." American Journal of Psychiatry 160 (2003): 765-772.
Well yeaaaa, we seem to have learned to include all of the researchers names! However, since all of the issues in 2003 are volume 160, an issue number of month would be really helpful here. Oh, look, I found it. APRIL 2003. Now, what point are they making here? Oh, yes: Researchers found "an elevated suicide risk for homosexuals" even in tolerant Denmark.
Okay, once again, I think we're confusing "tolerant Denmark" with "no one ever picks on gay people." But fine, whatever, let's see what the FULL STUDY has to say about sexual orientation, and if the researchers mention anything else about this that might have been left out (please. At this point, even though we're only on point 2B, I'd be stupid not to be skeptical of omissions on the part of UFI.)
Why, look. I seem to have found something interesting in the full text of just the ABSTRACT (I'll italicize it to make it stand out)
:RESULTS: Of the risk factors examined in the study, a history of hospitalization for psychiatric disorder was associated with the highest odds ratio and the highest attributable risk for suicide. Cohabiting or single marital status, unemployment, low income, retirement, disability, sickness-related absence from work, and a family history of suicide and/or psychiatric disorders were also significant risk factors for suicide. Moreover, these factors had different effects in male and female subjects. A psychiatric disorder was more likely to increase suicide risk in female than in male subjects. Being single was associated with higher suicide risk in male subjects, and having a young child with lower suicide risk in female subjects. Unemployment and low income had stronger effects on suicide in male subjects. Living in an urban area was associated with higher suicide risk in female subjects and a lower risk in male subjects. A family history of suicide raised suicide risk slightly more in female than in male subjects.
Hmmm. So it appears that in this review of all Danish suicides from 1981 - 1997, the biggest risk factor was history of hospitalization, not sexual orientation. As a matter of fact, since it was only in 1994 that Danish gay couples could cohabit as registered "couples" with marital benefits, any gay suicides before 1994 would have been counted as "single." After 1994, they count as "cohabiting." Let's see what the researchers have to say about this. Oh, look, I found the quote UFI mined for their point in 2B: Registered partners (i.e., homosexual couples living under the same legal status as a married couple) could be distinguished from single persons only from 1994 onward. Okay, so they might have skewed the "single" stats if they committed suicide before 1994, and would be under-represented in the "married" stats, since the researchers didn't cut off the findings at pre-and post-1994. I'm sure they address this. Let's see.
Oh, look, I found the quote that UFI mined for their point in 2B:
As for family structure, previous studies have reported that single people are more likely to commit suicide (2, 3), but our study further shows a significantly higher risk of suicide for cohabiting people even though cohabitation is almost equivalent to an officially certified marriage relationship in the eyes of most people in Denmark. Moreover, consistent with a few studies reporting that same-gender sexual orientation is associated with suicidality (30, 31), our results clearly show an elevated suicide risk for homosexuals, although this effect was likely to be underestimated because data were available only for those choosing to officially register as partners and only for the period after 1994. Taken together, our results suggest that a traditional family structure may be associated with lower suicide risk, although we cannot determine if the lower risk results from a protective effect of marriage, e.g., in the face of setbacks or difficulties, or from a marriage selection effect (32).
PF: Doesn't that say that allowing gays to marry (not civil union, but real marriage) would lower their risk of suicide? And if we're so concerned about suicide risks among gays, wouldn't that be the only humane thing to do?
[redacted]: But we're not concerned about suicide rates of gays. We're concerned that our children might be gay and therefore at risk of suicide.
PF: But if you thought that your children might be gay, and at risk for suicide, wouldn't you want to protect them . . . oh, never mind.
And I'm right, it does seem that the risk is likely to be underestimated because it only includes gay couples who officially registered with the state. So wow, it might be even worse, yet UFI failed to point that out (and it would have strengthened their point!) They also failed to quote-mine the better quote here, which is that "a traditional family structure may be associated with lower suicide risk." Why wouldn't they want to point this out? Well, the researchers themselves say that it is indeterminable whether this is because of "a protective effect of marriage...or from a marriage selection effect."
Okay, let's check out this marriage selection effect in a second, but first I want to point out a couple of things:
1) Oddly, the APA's rejection of homosexuality as a disorder makes the APA "suspect" in most UFI/"traditional marriage" arguments. Yet they're quite happy to use THIS research OF THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE APA to make their point. Look, people - either they're a credible resource...or they're NOT. And you've stated many many times that, in your opinion, the APA declassified homosexuality as a disorder because they are "political" and not "scientific." Well, then, I say you can't use this study. Wait, let's be more generous than that. Let's go ahead, since our stance relies heavily on the APA, and accept this resource, and see, really, what can be said about it. Shall we?
2) Before we get to that, I want to point out again that just because Denmark is more "tolerant" of gays doesn't mean they don't experience any anti-gay bias that could contribute to suicidality. This "tolerance" is fairly recent, and it would be hard to say that the salutary effects of the legalization of gay marriage could have occurred significantly in the 3 years before the study ended. Okay, on to conclusions by the researchers. (Oddly, the UFI is quick to point out that "we just don't know yet what can happen when you legalize gay marriage" when the results show something GOOD happening; then they claim that "more studies, more long-term studies, larger samples" need to be occur before they will accept the research. [Yes, shock, awe, blah blah.])
Oh, look. That's it for "homosexuality" in the study. But there's THIS interesting tidbit at the end of the study that I find telling, seeing how the US is not Western European:
Research and Clinical Implications
The socioeconomic environment in Denmark is similar to that in other Scandinavian countries and would probably also be comparable to that in most Western European countries. However, it may be difficult to generalize the findings of this study to other countries with different social, economic, or cultural conditions.
So...the researchers basically say not to generalize this study to other countries with "different social, economic, or cultural conditions." I'm guessing that prohibition of gay marriage might count as a "different....cultural condition." Strange, this doesn't seem like a good study to support anti-gay attitudes in the U.S.
PF: so, we got through 2 points out of 20. This could take a while.

A SCARBOROUGH man has completed a 20-mile coastal run in aid of the Alzheimer's Society.
Paul Drake, a produce team leader at Tesco, ran from the Bridlington store to the one where he works in Westwood, Scarborough.
The 46-year-old, of Milton Avenue, raised £290 for the Scarborough branch of the Alzheimer's Society, Tesco's chosen charity of the year.
He said: "It took three hours and it was quite foggy on the way out of Bridlington. Some of it was tough, but I do go out running regularly and go to the gym.
"My legs were aching, but it was okay. I'm really pleased with the amount raised and really appreciate the donations from customers and colleagues."
Mr Drake is the store's "charity champion" and said he was delighted to kick off a year of fundraising in this way.
His wife Janet, who works on the customer service desk, helped collect in the donations with a fellow member of staff in store.

Quickie Audiobook Review – The Dime by Kathleen Kent
I loved Betty, I loved her girlfriend Jackie, and I can't wait to see what Kathleen Kent has in store for them. -Smut Matters
I loved Betty, I loved her girlfriend Jackie, and I can't wait to see what Kathleen Kent has in store for them. -Smut Matters
It was just another unoriginal take on a tired trope, and I'm just done with it. -Smut Matters
Bottom line – I really liked this book. It was different than anything I've read recently, and I really liked the town of Rockton. I'm excited to move on and get the next book in this series. -Smut Matters
What a refreshing read! I've been trying to read more mysteries, and IQ by Joe Ide was exactly what I needed. This was my first audiobook of the year, and it set the bar pretty high for the rest of 2018. -Smut Matters
While this one won't end up as a favorite for 2018, it was a solid start to a new series, and I'm really looking forward to moving on. -Smut Matters
Killer Characters is a well-done ending to a fun series and group of characters I'm going to miss checking in with. -Smut Matters
This book is exactly what I wanted. It was light on the angst, heavy on the sexy, and I genuinely liked every single character, up to and including Cooper's duck-watching, meditating agent. – Smut Matters
I cannot recommend this enough – go read this book!
They're fun to read, but you have to really suspend your disbelief in order to buy that this one woman is managing to be involved with 15 or more murders. – Smut Matters
I can't wait to see what Jayne gets up to next! – Smut Matters

Naspers shareholders in unprecedented revolt over pay
This degree of opposition raises questions about Naspers's obligation under JSE rules to engage with shareholders about its remuneration policy
A hefty 50% or more Naspers N shareholders appear to have voted against the media and technology group's controversial remuneration policy and almost 60% against giving directors control of unissued shares, clearly indicating their unhappiness with the board's performance.
This degree of opposition by shareholders of a JSE-listed company is unprecedented and raises questions about Naspers's obligation under JSE rules to engage with shareholders about its remuneration policy.
There are 907,000 A shares and each has voting rights equivalent to 1,000 N shares. They control 68% of Naspers' votes, while the 438-million listed N shares control just 32% of the votes.

MANDEVILLE, Manchester — The more than 500
students who graduated from Northern Caribbean University (NCU) this month,
with qualifications ranging from associate to doctoral degrees, were advised
not to feel limited by their studies.
Vaughn Reid, the second of two
keynote speakers at the graduation ceremonies held last Sunday inside the
university's gymnatorium in Mandeville, said that having a skill or trade has
"You don't have to conform to
conventions and societal pressure. When I left Bible school I decided to
(fight) convention and buy a tractor trailer. Those were some of the most
wonderful days of my life," he said.
"Everybody (boasts) about the
white- collar workers in families, the ones with more degrees than a
thermometer. We need those people and they deserve the credit, but would it be
so bad to try and be the best carpenter, like Jesus?" Reid questioned.
Pointing out that plumbers,
tailors, seamstresses, farmers, mechanics and truckers are all quite useful in
day to day life, Reid told the graduates that what they must aim for is to be
the best at whatever job they choose.
"Be the best at whatever you are
called to do, and do it in a big way. Don't be afraid to step out of convention
and take a risk," he said.
In 1975 Reid graduated from the
then West Indies College (now NCU) with a bachelor's degree in theology.
"Although he did enrol at Andrews
University to read for the master of divinity degree and pursue studies in
aviation, he later decided to discontinue these studies to satisfy his desire
for entrepreneurship, establishing his own business in 1978," reads his
Reid recently retired from the
non-profit Fellowship Health Resources in the United States after 17 years as
chief information officer. He plans to expand his technology business.
He told the graduates that while
they seek to find their own path they should not compromise their values.
"If you compromise your values for
a dream, anything, be it a job, a spouse, a house, it can mess you up. That
dream will one day become your nightmare," he said.
President of NCU Dr Lincoln Edwards
told the audience that the Christ-centred and values-based education of the
Seventh-day Adventist-owned university is an important factor in transforming
the lives of young people and making them into productive citizens.
A highlight of the graduation
exercise was the university's first visually impaired PhD student, Curtis
Sweeney. He completed studies in counselling psychology, with emphasis on
marriage and family therapy.

In Basis to Year 2, studying in The Arts builds on the Early Years Studying Framework. Though Bachelor of Arts in Music students embark on a less extensive term of musical examine than their Bachelor of Music peers, this diploma incorporates a major efficiency part.
I agree there are individual benefits to music schooling and participation, however this could not come at the burden of tax payers. Society and Tradition, History, Geography, Creative Arts, and Languages beneficial depending on selection of Arts Major. All vocal college students can have opportunities to perform with instrumental ensembles, in jazz vocal ensemble and chamber singers, and take part in the student music festival and in bigger music productions corresponding to opera and music theater.

The Blueprint additionally offers steering for aligning the arts and the Widespread Core in addition to the Specific Considerations in Music for arts studio practice and observations.
Further necessities: Candidates are additionally required to move a music entrance examination and might be referred to as for this automatically once the application is made by the CAO. College students manipulate the weather of music and stylistic conventions to compose music.

Mary Pipher is a family psychologist whose 1994 book about adolescent girls, "Reviving Ophelia," became a bestseller. She followed that successful book with another in 1996, "The Shelter of Each Other," about the effect of contemporary American culture on family life.
With her new book "Another Country," Pipher will surely attract a lot of readers because it is about the fastest-growing segment of our population: the people who are old and getting older. Pipher tells her story anecdotally, using her clients, sometimes disguised, to make her points. She looks at issues that haunt many elderly people, even though they often remain tight-lipped about them: mental health, finances, living wills.
Her principal point might be borrowed from the British novelist E.M. Forster--"Only connect . . ."--for she believes that human beings are generally happier if they are connected with other human beings. If that seems obvious, well, it is: The whole book is a statement of obvious things, like love being better than hate, generosity better than avarice. She even says, in one section, that you should treat people as you want to be treated.
But in psychology books, being obvious is not the same as being useless, for people get themselves into terrible fixes by not doing the obvious thing. Pipher presents many such stories, but most of the time, she implies, she helps people out of the pits into which they've fallen by handing them a rope of common sense and kindness.

The Fairmont was wonderful. They had three or four different room arrangements, and one had a living room, dining room, kitchen and a separate bedroom and bathroom. It was really very nice. It was all very reasonable too. It was about a little less than $3000 a month for room and also meals. They had three meals a day, seven days a week. They had a good social program. It was a nice facility, well laid out, and it looked very good to me. They also had arranged for two of the residents to work with them. I met with those two senior ladies, and they were very nice. The place appeared to be very clean, and it was very presentable. I visited at 10:00 on a Saturday morning, and they wanted me to come back for lunch. The staff was really good.

They did not have a 1-bedroom available, so I saw a studio instead. It seemed to me that the majority of the residents were 80 and above, and I am far from that. The place was extremely clean. It was not brand new, but it was well kept up. It was definitely a place I would consider.

Fairmont is really a nice community. The location is favorable for my sisters and the apartments are very nice and well-maintained. The only thing I would change would be how close the meals are together. Sometimes lunch and dinner are too close together, I think they should move it up a half-hour at least. Their food is delicious, they have an excellent chef. They have lots of activities planned all the time, although it would be better if there's a pool. They have a very nice library, there's puzzles for everyone, and there were really nice tea rooms. Even my ten-year old daughter loves it here. The rooms have a kitchenette, sink, you can choose between a small and a larger refrigerator, or bring a full-size one. They do whatever you need for safety in the bathroom, they would put up a rail if you need them. I think they need air-conditioner and heat in both the bedroom and the living area because right now there's only one for both rooms. The staff is very nice here, very personable and knows us by name. The house-keeping staff and handyman are all very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is like everybody is family. They are really amazing, they go out of their way to help you and make you feel good.

The Parish Life Committee assists in the fostering of ongoing relationships among parish members through welcoming new members, sponsoring parish-wide activities that promote interaction among members, developing communication instruments for keeping members informed about parish life, and maintaining a parish calendar of events. It also serves as the public relations link with the larger community. Following are a list of committees that encompass "Parish Life".
Funeral Luncheon Ministry
The parish provides a luncheon for the family and for those attending the funeral. Parishioners who volunteer to help at funeral luncheons see first hand how grateful the families are and that the people who attend can feel the love and compassion extended to them by our parishioners. This ministry is in need of parishioners who are willing to serve at these luncheons, to set table place settings, prepare and serve drinks, display food on the buffet table by the time the guests arrive as well as clean up afterward. You can also help by providing a salad or dessert for the luncheon that feeds up to 15 people. Food needs to be delivered to the parish kitchen the day of the luncheon.

Hello Everyone:
Well, here is my newest pick up! I got this from Hermann.
I keep jumping around from one area of TR to another!
It may kill me, but it's been a fun ride!
Anyone have a period photo of one of these being worn?
I think I posted under the wrong section, could someone move it for me?
Jumped the ball on the wrong section!

One of the Liars sent me this link under the subject line "meanwhile on the Tour de Cheats," prompting me to post something I have been meaning to get to for weeks: the vile, corrupt, dishonest, and disgusting nature of the NCAA and whether the ugly taint of the NCAA should touch fans watching March Madness or college football.
But first, the Tour. Yes, it sucks that Contador joins the long list of cycling doping idiots* (but some praise to Andy Schleck for saying the right thing when told he now gets first place honors: "There is no reason to be happy now. First of all I feel sad for Alberto. I always believed in his innocence. I battled with Contador in that race and I lost."). And it takes a certain kind of renewed faith and willful innocence to watch the Tour every year, hopeful this is the year the race is completely clean. Baseball certainly required a similar renewed faith and willful innocence after the Sosa-McQwire-Bonds era and the Majors and the fans are better for it. Maybe, hopefully, insha'allah, this is the year cycling completes its Otto-like cleanse…because it is a tremendous thing to watch. The athleticism, the gorgeousness of France, the strategy…all of it is hard to resist, every single year.
As for the NCAA, if you've missed the recent campaign by Joe Nocera of the NYTimes, its worth the 20-30 minutes to read through this, this, this, and this. The short version: the NCAA operates in a way completely antithetical to the core values of this country. No due process, guilty until proven innocent, no restoration for wrongs committed by the authorities, and no limit to the authorities' reach and power. The NCAA is a perfect example of power and money corrupting absolutely. And every time I put on college hoops now, I feel compelled to seek forgiveness.
To take just one example, consider this from one of the Nocera columns linked above: Let's put aside the question of why college athletes usually have to sit out a year when they transfer, even though coaches can switch schools at the drop of a hat. That's a column for another day. Let's focus instead on O'Brien's plight. How can a student who has graduated from one institution be prevented from participating in an extracurricular activity at a different school? How can a miffed coach's pique control the activities of a student who doesn't even play for him anymore? Can a music teacher who is angry at a violin student prevent him from playing in another school's orchestra? The very idea is absurd. Why is it any less absurd when the student is an athlete? Why is it any less wrong? Yet that is precisely what the N.C.A.A.'s rules make possible.
So what connects the Tour and the NCAA? The Tour de France (and cycling generally) appears to be trying to cleanse itself of doping. While plenty of people have accused the different cycling federations of turning a blind eye or even aiding and abetting top cyclists, the overall direction is towards a cleaner sport, much like baseball eventually evolved. The stand-out problems now are cheaters like Contador. The NCAA, however, is the stand-out problem. The NCAA is not getting better, its getting worse – more powerful, more corrupt, more entrenched.
Yes, I'll still watch March Madness and will probably watch college hoops this evening. But as I read more and more about the NCAA, I find it less and less appealing. The Tour could have a clean year this year if every individual rider refrains from cheating. I don't see the NCAA reforming anytime soon, but it needs to…because eventually its all going to fall apart.
*yes, its possible Contador is innocent and I hope he is. At least he has been able to appeal the rulings against him and the process – if not perfect — is fairly transparent.

You know the old saying about blondes having more fun, but is it really true? Well, you may be surprised to know that your hair color actually does say something about you.
If You're a Blonde
Guess what? You do actually have more fun! Researchers have found that people view blondes as sexier. As a natural blonde, you also tend to be more adventurous and outspoken when compared to your non-blonde peers. But even blondes from a bottle can display these attributes.
If you're blessed with black tresses, you are pretty deep.
As for the dumb blond jokes? This is simply a stereotype and the good news is, it's one that is going away. Most people perceive blondes to be just as intelligent as brunettes.
Here's another fun fact: blondes tend to attract more attention. And a not so fun fact: blondes are also more likely to get divorced.
If You're a Brunette
Brunettes may be among the most common shade, but if you have brown hair, you're anything but common! People view you as trustworthy, hardworking and responsible.
You also have one up on your other hued sisters. You are seen as more intelligent. And when it comes to hiring, brunettes are more likely to get the job!
Here's something else. Research also indicates that natural brunettes cope with stress better than any of the other hair colors. You know how to keep a cool head!
If You're a Redhead
Whether light red or deep auburn, if you're a redhead, people probably assume you have a temper. You may or may not, but scientists have found that you do tend to be more feisty, passionate and emotional.
But wait, there's more! You are also seen as very creative and super seductive.
And here are some more interesting facts. If you're a natural redhead, you are more susceptible to the effects of stress and you also have a lower tolerance for pain.
If You're Raven Haired
If you're blessed with black tresses, you are pretty deep. You're not afraid to explore the depths of your psyche. Maybe that's why Goth girls go for that black dye job!
Gifted with the ability to see the big picture, you often have great insights as well.
Another interesting tidbit, many natural dark haired beauties also have a knack for finances.

I started my studying the first week of school in hopes of not having to cram the week of the test, and for me it has really helped. Another thing that has helped is going to my textbooks website and doing all the interactive stuff, like the flashcards and practice tests. These really help me because they're interactive and give you a different way to study other than just sitting there reading the information over and over again. Most textbooks have them and you can usually find the website in the first couple of pages or in the back. If you can't find it inside the book, you can always just google it, and find it there. I have two tests this week and I feel pretty prepared because I started early, I've read the chapters for both classes, so now all I need to do is just review until the tests on Wednesday and Thursday. I think starting early has helped me in a lot of ways because I feel prepared and I'm not stressed out because I feel like I have to get everything done right before the tests. Good luck if you have tests this week!

BERLIN, May 30. /ITAR-TASS/. Gas talks between Russia and Ukraine are yielding "certain consensus", Ukraine's parliament-appointed Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Yuriy Prodan said on Friday.
"We understand that talks are needed. A compromise is beginning to show," he said. "I would not state the exact price we want to agree upon. It should be within the market relations."
"We hope the Brussels talks would be constructive. We are sure that the money we have transferred today would be credited to Gazprom's account on Monday," he noted.

One of the greatest benefits of core aeration in Winter Haven, FL is the improved ability for water to drip into the soil.
Few things can show off your beautiful property like a well-maintained lawn. Additionally, few things can make your property look rundown like a dead and dying one! Here at The Other Side Lawn & Ornamental Pest Control Inc., we strive to help our customers maintain the health and integrity of their lawns, so their properties can truly shine. In addition to regular mowing, trimming, fertilizing and watering, we recommend one treatment that will make all those other things more effective: core aeration.
Core aeration is a lawn treatment that most everyone is familiar with, although not everyone fully understands how important it is for the health of their lawns. Unlike spike aeration, which simply involves poking holes in your lawn, our core aeration machine has hollow spines that will not only make very small holes throughout your lawn, but also pull out a small dirt clod, which allows extra oxygen, water, and nutrients to go directly to the roots of your lawn. These small holes aren't large enough to cause any harm to people or animals walking on your lawn, but will be very beneficial to the roots of your grass.
One of the greatest benefits of core aeration is the improved ability for water to drip into the soil. Compacted soil is hard for water to work through, and when the roots of your grass are buried underneath a layer of compacted soil, they won't develop properly or be able to latch onto fertilizers you might be using to help your lawn thrive.
If you want to reinvigorate your lawn and help it be stronger and healthier, call us for more information about how core aeration can improve your Winter Haven, FL property today!

I read that the resolution of the chip was only about 2.07 megapixels. Surely that's basically EXACTLY full HD resolution, but translates to lower than HD when the losses of bayer patterning are taken into account? I believe the picture's nice, but I don't like Sony being cryptic about it!

I read that the resolution of the chip was only about 2.07 megapixels.
I twisted the arm of one of the Sony guys last night, and got an approximate horizontal count of "about 2500". It's a straight up Bayer pattern, not a Q67. Given how well the Alexa does with 2880 horizontal, it might not be all that bad for HDTV. Dividing my number into yours yields 828, which is less than 1080, so they can't both be right, but they can both be wrong. I advised them to be forthcoming with the numbers, to forestall unfavorable speculation. The other significant tidbit is that the camera is linear only for now. They expect to have S-log enabled this April.

AFAIK the sensor has just the amount of pixels it needs for HD just like the Alexa. In comparison to smaller photosites sensors this means it performs better in low light, has no problems with moire patterns and does no pixel binning or line skipping.

Hopefully I will be able to write up some sort of basic production report. I'll post it in the "in production" section and share what I can over the next two months.
Initially all I can say is that this may very well outperform everything else practically available right now, in terms of low-light ability/price/ease of use.

The images look good so far but I really want to see graded material on a large monitor before making a call. Certainly the camera has out grown it's physical format. That handi-cam setup is lame, truthfully.

When we walked in it was set up with an Angenieux 10:1 and it had a distinctive video look. Colors were a little too vibrant, but when DOF fell off it got somewhat muddy. (It was in the "Cine-like" mode and S-Log wasn't inabled because that firmware update isn't out yet) I was much more impressed when we put a Zeiss 35mm Super speed on. Color was much nicer and I was more able to appreciate the look of the video.
At one point we opened the window and shot the Milwaukee skyline at night, and the sky still had detail! We did some under cranking, and with a flashlight next to the camera we lit an overpass about 75yds away. I noticed it was actually pretty decent on the rolling shutter issues, and was incredible with low light. We pumped the gain all the way up, and it still was pretty noiseless.
Build wise it's basically a suped up ex-3 and the eye piece is annoying. (standard def, and in the way) If I had to make a conclusion, I'd say I'd love to have it on a shoot to put it through some practical riggers, but I was kinda thrilled to have my hands on an actual video camera again!

Interesting. I measure the Dynamic Range at 12+ stops.
I've just finished shooting a 3 camera F3 shoot and Im impressed with the camera. I'd certainly consider it over a RED for certain drama productions.

My main complaint is the absolutely horrible eyepiece and viewfinder. I shot a night scene with very minimal lighting and it was dead black in both, but when I looked at the HD onboard there was plenty of information there. Unfortunately, the camera is pretty heavy, so mounting a decent onboard to operate off of makes it pretty unusable except for very short takes. Ergonomically, it's very bad as well. The majority of my shots were handheld (some pretty lengthy) and it would have been very nice to have been able to put the thing on my shoulder. How do the camera manufacturers still not get this?
I was impressed with the dynamic range (at least based on what I saw on the computer after downloading). There was much more detail in the highlights and shadows than I could seen in the onboard monitor. We did some car work on a very sunny day in Los Angeles shooting inside the car and the sky was holding. I even tried to blow out the background for a couple of cheats we did and it was tough! I was blown away.
We wanted Super Speeds but ended up shooting on CP2's and I was worried about the loss of a stop, but it ended up not effecting me much at all. The camera performed pretty well in low light.
Overall I was pretty happy with the camera. I wouldn't want to use it on a feature or TV show both because of the VF and monitor, and because of the ergonomic issues, but for small projects I can see it having it's place.

You don't think those problems are easily addressed with accessories? Much like almost every other digital camera? You can put an Alexa on your shoulder out of the box and shoot all day, but most others have the same problem. Not saying that's OK, just it's very simply addressable in the grand scheme. Then you have the advantage of small size, you won't be hold a RED for long with one hand in a tight space. And Steadicam?

Foreign Travel VaccinesFriday, March 22nd, 2013
It is exciting to plan a big trip out of the country. Whether you are vacationing in China, doing business in Japan, going on a mission in Ethiopia, or going anywhere else in the world, it is important to budget for a sometimes overlooked expense of travel outside of the states, travel vaccines.
Each country has it's own unique mix of health issues and they change periodically. Just because you've been to a certain locale before, do not assume you have all the required vaccines. Each time you travel, check to see if you are in need of additional vaccines, or boosters for those you may have had in the past.
To find out what vaccines are recommended for your destination, go to the CDC website at www.cdc.gov. It is important to educate yourself on what vaccines are needed to ensure you are fully immunized prior to your trip, but it is also important to find a provider that will confirm your immunization needs.
Contact your physician or travel health department a minimum of four to six weeks before your travel dates. This will allow your provider time to order vaccines that may not be in stock; or to administer them in an adequate time frame. Some vaccines may take weeks or months to develop full immunity.
In addition to required vaccines it is also important to review your routine vaccines each time you travel. It is recommended that you stay current on your MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) and Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis) as well as Influenza. Currently there is a travel advisory regarding a Polio outbreak in China and parts of the Middle East and Africa and they are recommending a polio booster if traveling in these specific areas. It is important to check the CDC website often to be sure you are prepared for whatever may come your way while you are traveling.
Sometimes travel vaccines may seem expensive and they are normally not covered by insurance, but if you compare it to the cost of having a major illness far from home where there may not be quality healthcare available to you and your family, or the expense of an air ambulance, the cost of immunizations seems minimal.
For more information on foreign travel vaccines call Saltzer's Foreign Travel Department at 463-3170.

When you want to export your Outlook files as a backup, there should be another option to choose a .pst instead of .olm.

You can run ads to create more leads and income. You can offer more products on the web. You can get more traffic to your site. But, it isn't so much that straight forward. There are different things to deal with. We should examine the advantages of Google Adwords as an advertising platform.
Since you get the instant result in Google Adwords because of its transparency and expeditious, which is why Google Adwords is preferred always and its worth every penny you spend on it.
1. Adwords works quicker than SEO
The biggest advantage of Google AdWords is that it works quicker than SEO. Both SEO and Google AdWords are web search tool promoting methodologies to create more traffic and leads. Also, it's purely a lead generation way of the entire process.
Here are a few reasons why it's faster and more viable: -
2. Increase brand awareness
Google AdWords, along with boosting traffic, clicks, and conversions, is likewise a productive approach to tell the audience about your brand. With regards to SEO, your rank additionally relies upon the quantity of your brand name hunts and its varieties. That is another reason you should focus on brand awareness through search and display ads.
3. More visibility through target audiences Gmail Box
One of the most utilized advertising techniques in every business is email marketing, which is the reason Gmail ads can be useful too. In September 2015, Google incorporated local Gmail promotions with Google AdWords and made it accessible to all publicists, which means you can achieve more prospects through their Gmail inbox.
Gmail advertisements show up on the advancement tab, however some of the time you can see it on the social tab as well. These promotions keep running on both desktops and mobiles. Since, Gmail promotions for the most part cost a great deal not as much as search ads, in the event that you have a little spending plan, at that point you can attempt Gmail advertisements also.
4. Reconnecting with your website visitors
You may have window shoppers on your site. These are individuals who have gone to every one of the pages on your site however haven't made any action. How would you help them to remember you and what you could accomplish for them? Enter Display Remarketing and RLSA campaigns.
5. Track and measure the campaign's performance consistently
It is exceptionally hard to quantify the result of traditional ads like daily papers, radio, communicate TV, outside announcements, brochures and so on. Additionally, they are substantially more costly than Google AdWords. You can't control your own financial plan and spend. Also, you wouldn't know the source of the leads originating from these media, unless your client discloses it. Therefore, it would be exceptionally hard to compute ROI from traditional media.
In any case, AdWords, would let you know precisely what occurred with the battle. You would know:

I can't post anything useful today because my stress levels are insanely high, due to a combination of no exercise (it was too cool to swim yesterday), no money (I have less money in the bank account than I've had since the late '80s, when Loki and I both worked part-time jobs making $5-$6/an hour), PMS, and just general worry about the near future.
But in a few minutes, I'm leaving work early to go to our company picnic, where I will get fed and get to swim and maybe get to relax a bit. And tonight I'm meeting my friend Leslie to hang out at Borders, and I'm sure I'll relax even more, because she cracks me up. And I'll be able to have a drink because my frequent coffee buyer card is fully punched, so I'll get a free beverage. And then this weekend we are celebrating my niece's 13th birthday, so that will be another meal I don't have to worry about and good times hanging around with my sister. And then I have the day off on Monday so I can use the $19 in my pocket to get back to school supplies for the kids.

were should i begin?
i just bought a 89 650sx it already has full exhaust,mariner head ,mariner ride plate,k/n filter . i got it running pretty good . but this is my first standup ski. what else should i do as far as handling ? and how do i tell what prop pitch is on my ski. and any suggestions on a how to make a good prop choice. thanks in advance...
You didn't mention if it has an aftermarket intake grate, that will help to keep the impeller loaded in rough water. The factory impellers are dull gray in appearance, if it has a stainless impeller it should look fairly shiny and will usually be marked with the brand and pitch. Depending on the style of riding you plan to do you can go with either a progressive pitch stainless impeller for example the Skat-Trak 11/19 or a straight pitch of 15.5. I've heard the progressive pitch ones load better and have smoother power delivery but a lot of freestylers seem to like the straight 15.5. You could also change up the pump with a stainless one, they allow more water output and help to improve straight line control if I remember correctly. A short tail cone will really improve bottom end hook-up. You could either modify the stock nozzle for quicker steering or buy an aftermarket one with a bigger diameter and quick steer mounting. Zero degree handlebars will make the steering a lot nicer and less fatiguing too. An aftermarket handle pole will lighten that ski up a ton making it feel more nimble. An aftermarket handle pole spring or add in tension block will help to make the pole feel lighter. Footholds will really help you stay with the ski when things get rough or you want to do some things like barrel rolls or even jumping.

Third Day
St. John Vianney, Adorer of the Blessed Sacrament, O holy Priest of Ars, you had such an overwhelming love for Christ in the Blessed Sacrament that you prayed for hours in His presence. You said that "when our Lord sees them coming eagerly to visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament, He smiles upon them. They come with that simplicity which pleases Him so much." O Saint of the Eucharist, may your example enkindle in Father ____________ a deeper love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. By your prayers, never let him doubt Christ's Real Presence, but obtain for him a firm faith rooted in the Eucharist. Help him not to be afraid to defend or preach Christ's Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. Obtain for him the grace to approach our Lord with simplicity of heart as he lays his soul's innermost thoughts before Jesus' Sacred Heart. Keep Father ___________________ under your continual protection, that he may be supported by your example and assistance and be faithfully devoted to Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. May his life reflect the belief of our Lord's abiding presence with us. O St. John Vianney, by the power of your intercession, give us Priests devoted to the holy Sacrament of the Altar. (Recite the Novena Prayer.)
Novena Prayer
