So this takes the cake for misdelivered mail….
We live on a street with a very common American street name. When we bought this place, the survey company actually tried to survey our address on Common American Avenue instead of Street. And since that property is much larger, they almost overcharged us quite a bit of money.
We've had problems with our mail ever since we moved in. One neighbor's surname is surprisingly close to mine, so I always get his mail. Some kid nine doors down? We get his magazines. A few weeks ago, we a package from a doctor's office intended for a neighbor three blocks down. I've talked to every mailman about it, but nothing changes. So I'm not surprised to get the wrong mail, but…
Last week, we got a letter in the mail from our exact address, except the city was West Des Moines, Iowa. Enclosed was my $20 gift card from Angie's List (headquartered in Indianapolis) and a handwritten note on the Angie's List form letter:
Your name + street address showed through the envelope window, but not the city and state. So we rec'd it instead–thus we're forwarding to you.
Regards from Iowa.
I might just send them a postcard back, thanking them for forwarding my mail all the way from Iowa!

Measure offers chronic care relief
A new bill would link eligible seniors suffering from chronic illnesses with a health professional to coordinate their care.Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) introduced the bill this week in conjunction with a Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing on Medicare and chronic care coordination. Lincoln has introduced the bill each year since 2001.
The "Geriatric Assessment and Chronic Care Coordination Act" would allow individuals who have been assessed and deemed eligible for care coordination services to choose a chronic care manager.

We know my husband's uncle (whom he knows very little about) fought in Okinawa.We have just received some info from the American Battle Monuments Commission that Frank J McCormack was a Private First Class and served in the 383rd Infantry Regiment, 96th Infantry Division and died on 8 April 1945.He was awarded the Bronze Star & Purple Heart and is remembered on the Honolulu Memorial in Hawaii.
I note your grandfather served in the 96th Infantry and thought it worth dropping you a note.

Saudi Arabia > Eastern Province > Al-Khobar the Commercial Hub
Jan 17th 2009
After much hassle in securing a business visa at the Kuala Lumpur Saudi Embassy, which was only obtained late on Friday 09 Jan 2009, I managed to get a KL-Doha-Dammam ticket same day, just 33 hrs before departure.
Virtually full-house onboard Qatar Airways QR621 at KUL. Quite a comfy Airbus 330-200, note the nice blue-ish ambience. Departed on the dot at 2.30am too, cabin service so-so only lah, but then I was asleep most of the time, thanks to the blue cabin.
Yes, 7.5 hours later we touch Doha en route to Dammam, the airport which serves the triplet cities of Khobar-Dammam-Dhahran. I was last here in Doha a couple of years back, during a very hot summer. Winter should be more pleasant …
… but alas, I'm not doing a Doha stopover this trip. Just a short layover before off to Dammam.
Early morning, 6am, and the terminal is already full of transitting passengers. This spot looks the same as I was last here 2 years ago.
At the end of the concourse, I see my Airbus from KL last night.
Meanwhile more people file in for their connecting flights. Mine to Dammam is still a couple of hours away.
My morning Qatar Airways QR710 A320-200 from Doha landed on time at King Fahd International Airport (Dammam), which was rather huge, but a tad idle. Well, it's the largest airport in the world, in term of land area, and from the air it looked truly humongous in the depressing grey desert. At immigration they recorded the prints of all 10 fingers, together with a mugshot snapped by a Canon Powershot A640 connected to the computer … which did not always work. So every foreigner must be patient enough to cooperate in this lengthy process.
This has to be Arabia, sandy desert as far as the eyes could see.
Of all the idle cabs outside the airport, I have to pick one with dirty windscreen!
Modern dedicated expressway from King Fahd International connects to the Saudi road system.
This area is actually an industrial triangle of Khobar, Dhahran and Dammam – Saudi Arabia's economic powerhouse, apart from the two holy cities.
Approaching the twin cities of Dammam and Khobar, economic activities, mainly petroleum-related, pick up. Some 60km from the airport, we reach downtown Khobar for a cab fee of 100 Saudi riyals.
At Khobar at last, and behind the hotel, a mosque calls for noon prayer, and noon is when starving people like me look for lunch. But the practice in Saudi Arabia is, shops are closed 30-60min when mass prayers are held at mosques, 5 times a day. So tough luck if you are hungry!
After noon mosque prayer done, the eatery owner hurriedly returns to re-open his shop, and a bunch of hungry folks tail him in.
I've been recommended this biryani, with all the goodies discreetly embedded inside it, by the hotel concierge, so here goes … mutton and spices and egg, and unidentified stuff, performing a perfect symphony on my tastebuds … WOW! That's one great biryani, definitely a world beater!
Guys, if you are ever in Khobar, the place is called Pepper Restaurant, located at the '+' HERE. Operated by a gent from Kerala (India), this is typical of the many Indian resturants sprouting in the area, thanks to the deluge of guest workers from the Indian sub-continent.
In a car-park in front of the restaurant, an abandoned car looks extremely pitiful. But orphaned cars are common here, I find more of them than stray cats.
Walking back to the hotel, Khobar looks to be a truly dynamic city, an apt commercial hub of the Eastern Province, KSA.
From a high-rise in a new part of Khobar, I can see the downtown of original Khobar city in its entirety, …
… where narrow streets arranged in a grid are named after the many princes.
A guest worker trudges past the Fluor Arabia building in a new part of Khobar, with its impressive structures and highways.
Facing the Persian Gulf, the Khobar Corniche is a new playground for the denizens, …
… including these furry fellas.
Here, a major tourist attraction is also under construction, the 'Eastern Province Tourist Tower' – looks like a cross between a water tower and the alien machine from 'War of the Worlds'.
But, really, The Corniche is a very pleasant spot where in the evening, families come for picnics (which reminds me of Doha's gorgeous Corniche). By the way, on a good day one can spot the towers of Manama (Bahrain), some 30km away across the water from here.
Along the way back to the hotel, a Saudi Telecom billboard looks interesting, but I can only understand the ManU logo. Good enough!
Second day in Khobar today, and I wake up to a cool, cloudy day.
Yes, we had rain last night! Definitely a rare occasion, so have I brought rain all the way here from Kuala Lumpur? 🙂
The road is all wet, an uncommon sight here I'm sure.
Puddles of water everywhere, and even the normally dust-covered cars seem to be enjoying it.
But rain or shine, we have to find our roti canai or pratha for brekky. The eggs and the condiments are typically Keralese.
In the hotel coffee-shop, the plasma TV shows Al-Jazeera live from Gaza, with a mosque under Israeli assault, but nobody seems interested.
An attractive calligraphic painting hangs on the wall in a friend's office.
Dinner finds me in a steak house where, as the mosque calls for Isyak prayer, the shades automatically drop over the floor-to-ceiling glass panels to conceal the interior of the restaurant from sidewalk onlookers. That's much better than closing the restaurants for 30min or so.
Minus the street-view, with a huge steak knife, I soon chomp on my 10-oz sirloin, medium, with much gusto!
Outside the restaurant, the blue Al-Subaie Tower looks over the busy intersection of King Abdul Aziz St and Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Rd. They have royal roads everywhere here.
In stark contrast to yesterday's cloudy and wet day, my Day 3 in Khobar starts with a cold night and a gibbous moon shining brightly in the dawn sky.
Business done for the day, and the host graciously offers a car for a trip to Jubail, 110km away to the northwest.
Along the modern and wide 6-lane dual carriageway to Jubail, just outside Dammam, the huge Aramco facility is secured by a white wall. In this area of the Eastern Province, the threat of terrorism is real.
En route, a classic desert sunset takes place.
The still, clear, dry desert air makes the viewing spectacular as the sun's lower limb touches the horizon.
Approaching Jubail, and the site of infrastructure crucial to the survival of the citizens – water and power. Note the 120 km/h speed limit, which nobody really cares.
A row of three gigantic towers in parallel disappears over the desert horizon, carrying huge amount of juice across the nation.
An hour or so after leaving Khobar we reach Jubail, now arguably the world's largest petrochemical complex, whose main tenant is a Saudi govt company called SABIC – Saudi Basic Industries Corp.
Jubail started life as fishing village and for pearl-gathering, hence this boat at a major roundabout.
But the serenity of the main thoroughfare in downtown new Jubail belies the significance of this place to the Saudi economy.
Famished, I pop into an eatery for dinner.
With a fresh Persian Gulf snapper-like fish fried to perfection and cubes of delicious roasted meat to accompany it, the meal reminds me of the memorable Beirut lunch a month back.
Why is Jubail at night such an attraction? Well, it makes the petrochemical facility in Kerteh (Trengganu) a pussy compared to these huge SABIC plants, kilometers of them.
Quick Jubail visit done, we return to Khobar and cover the 110km in less than one hour. I notice the red needle of the speedometer of our car stuck to the right, so guess what's our speed as we hurtle down the expressway?
Fourth and fine final day in Khobar, and looking east towards the Persian Gulf, along Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Road.
Along the same road one finds a branch of Al-Rajhi Bank, exclusively for the special ones.
Nightfall and time to leave Saudi Arabia. I am at the huge King Fahad International Airport DMM, built to help industrialise the Eastern Province, but is woefully underutilised. One whole wing of 18 gates remains idle, still in mint condition.
After a short flight-time of just 35min at an altitude of 17,000ft, the Qatar Airways QR715 Airbus 330-200 soon lands at Doha International Airport from Dammam.
Doha International is under major construction, and after disembarking, I and fellow suffering passengers have to endure a 15-min bus ride to the terminal in a Cobus.
The main DOH duty-free area is very well-designed.
Final call for flight QR624 to KUL and DPS, with passengers to be bus-ed again, some 15min away to the waiting Airbus 330-200 plane.
I just love the blue light bathing the cabin, ostensibly to induce sleep, and it sort of works on me. Anyway we depart an hour late, to arrive Kuala Lumpur 7.5hrs later. It has been a great journey to Al-Khobar.

We spend most of our time making decisions about anything and everything. But how much time do we spend thinking about how me make those decisions, and how much control we actually have over them?
We believe in a world where everyone has the ability to trust their own decisions, with the unconditional Freedom to work with the results, no matter how they appear.
Everything we do uses Self-Expression to align with our Truth. It is through the power of dialogue that we are able to gain clarity on how we operate, what to do with the results and more importantly, why this is vital for our individual & collective progress.
Decision Making is everything. Yet, most decision-making models focus on actions, behaviours and tools rather than the Attitudes that drive these actions,. It is these Attitudes that will determine the quality of your life.
Decision Making 101 is a 3-hour, interactive talk that will challenge everything you know about how you make decisions, and leave you wanting to explore the power of a new dimension. It is limited to 12 participants in order to enhance the experience.
You will understand the decision making process through the three driving forces:
- the Power of Dialogue
- Our Automatic Attitudes
- Creating Pathways for Progress
DISCLAIMER: This is a talk is delivered in the Abstract, and will require you to step outside your comfort zone. It is designed to challenge you to think differently about your reality - how you see the world - in order to explore alternative processes.
This is for anyone who finds themselves curious about, or stuck in their decision-making process, and who are willing to consider new possibilities to increase the choices they have.
Latecomers & Early leavers may have their participation restricted. All events include regular breaks.
Doors open at 18.00 | Event starts at 18.15 | Event ends at 21.30
Experience includes:
- Interactive Audience Participation
- Experienced Discussion Facilitator
- Great Location in Central London
- Hot & Cold Refreshments served

WIESHEU news 2 2017
Joahnnes Rave
Dear Customers, Partners and Friends of WIESHEU, Dear Employees,
2017 was a year of great changes for WIESHEU. On the one hand, we had and still have to meet the challenge of our relocation. We know that this will help us and that we will be able to set up our production processes more effectively on a suitable surface area. We also know that "Copy & paste" doesn't work! When someone relocates his household, he also thinks about all of the rooms and how he will adapt them to his way of life in the new apartment. This means that every department, every surface area in production and administration has to be critically examined and structurally optimised. And what is more: we moved and are still moving with ongoing production, for the transfer of base production will take place in the next few days as the final stage.
Let us call it the "Curse of the good deed": this year, WIESHEU has made great progress, and our customers also perceived this as such and placed their orders accordingly. The EuroShop in Düsseldorf, where we were present with the slogan "The future of instore baking", was one of the most successful trade fairs in our history, and we are truly convinced that we will also be able to put our future-related slogan into effect.
As well as TrayMotion, our automatic loading system, we must also mention our new fully automatic cleaning system ProClean365, which we shall be presenting in this issue and which takes the pressure off our customers for a whole year. Despite the challenges, there was also plenty to celebrate: the anniversary of our second plant in Wolfen, our summer party at the new location – and our sports-minded colleagues also had plenty of opportunities.
We wish you pleasant reading!
Johannes Rave
Head of Brand Strategy and Marketing

Series Index:
Back to Playoffs 2013
Apr 24 - San Antonio. --- With a 102-91 victory over the Lakers, the Spurs took a 2-0 lead in their first round playoffs series.
Tony Parker had 28 points and seven assists, Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard had 16 points each, Manu Ginobili added 13 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in 19 minutes and the Spurs showed that they are --despite the final outcome of this series-- the better team, they know what kind of basketball they play, they know what's the right play every time, they are have clutch players (Ginobili) and they know how to defend.
The only thing slowing them down right now is the fact that Parker and Ginobili are returning from injuries and are not 100%. On the other hand the Lakers are an experiment that's about to fail and if they still have some hope it's based on the quality of their frontcourt of Gasol an Howard and not much more.
Without Kobe Bryant the Lakers were unable to make good use of the ball in the key moments of the game while the Spurs had Ginobili who led them in runs of 13-4 and 10-3 to close the first and second quarters and keep the Lakers at distance and Tony Parker who scored 24 of his 28 points in the second half.
Dwight Howard started strong and active but by middle of the second quarter the Spurs had him under control defending him with Bonner and Duncan, in the absence of other scoring threats by the Lakers.
Mike D'Antoni (LAL Coach): "They are just much more efficient than we are. They are playing better than we are right now."
Dwight Howard (Lakers):"It is frustrating (the defensive pressure), I just have to trust my teammates to make shots. On whatever they do defensively, I have to be aware of my arms and try not to get tangled up.
Pau Gasol (Lakers): "I didn't get into a good rhythm out there. This first half was better, but in the second half, I struggled with my shot. I can't be short on my shots; fatigue kicked in a little bit and I'm fighting through some stuff myself physically. But at this point, we're in fight mode; we'll fight through whatever is on the table. Try to stay alive in this series and fight for our lives.
Manu Ginobili (Spurs): "[Bonner] was a key player for us today, he was very active defensively. Of course he's giving Dwight a big advantage in size, strength and quickness, and I could keep going. But he did a great job getting around him, fronting him from behind."

There we were, fresh faced and chasing clients, when one of the biggest names knocked on our door – Penguin.
Gobsmacked to be working for them back in 2010, we did all we could to ace the first brief.
Periodic Tales by Hugh Aldersey-Williams is a journey through his childhood love of the elements. When he was a boy, Hugh had a periodic table on his wall and would nail up as many elements as he could find (apart from the lethal ones, obviously). This infatuation with science comes through in the book, and was the perfect vehicle for the cover.
We learnt, among other crazy facts, that you could distill Phosphorus from a bucket of wee, Zinc is used to line coffins and that France have a totally useless element called Francium, just because everyone else has one.
Our initial suggestion was to have a fold-out poster periodic table which would cleverly make up the book jacket, but it proved too costly, so we just had fun illustrating the lot.
Here you can also see a full periodic table we illustrated for a private client who loved the book, the full jacket, and Hugh's next book – Anatomies.

A new collection of 26th Dynasty tombs are uncovered in Aswan
Beside the Aghakhan mausoleum on Aswan's west bank, a collection of six ancient Egyptian tombs from the 26th Dynasty was uncovered today by an Egyptian archaeological mission.
Minister of Antiquities Mamdouh Eldamaty describes the discovery as "distinguished" in being the first discovery in that area of tombs from the Late Pharaonic period. [...]
... a collection of limestone and wooden sarcophagi was found with mummies intact. Faience statuettes of the four sons of the falcon god Horus and wooden statuettes of Horus were also unearthed along with amulets of different shapes, sizes and colours.
Nasr Salama, director general of Aswan Antiquities, explained that each tomb includes a 30-step stairway that leads to the main entrance. The tombs are divided into three or four chambers and are not decorated.
Meanwhile Mostafa Khalil, head of the archaeological mission, said that these tombs reveal the architectural style used in that period, distinguished from previously discovered tombs.
The tombs are engraved. He added the tombs were subject to robbery in the aftermath of the 2011 January revolution, due to illegal excavations carried out there.

Chuck Lorre Is 'a Nervous Wreck' About 'Young Sheldon' - Here's Why
People can come into his life in 1989 and impact him and we might meet them on The Big Bang Theory 30 years later. The idea for the prequel series started with Parsons, who emailed Lorre about the idea. "That's not something that's very pleasant". "I think what's so wonderful and a privilege to play Mary Cooper at this age is we don't know her at that stage of her life yet, so I think it provides me a little bit of flexibility".

Basically, you are creating a loose partnership when it comes to online marketing. While a company may not tell you exactly what to do, you need to work with them to understand their customers so you can profit from them. Working hard is not going to be enough when considering to market online. Use these tips to supplement your existing business strategy.
You may be surprised at the positive reaction you will receive when you are willing to be upfront about your use of affiliate marketing. Successful affiliate marketers understand that treating customers fairly and establishing a reputation for honesty are important considerations. If your readers know there is a reason for your marketing choices they will respond in a more positive way by clicking the provided links.
Once you have brought in a good deal of money, contact the program you joined and ask them for more money. If you have made yourself valuable to the program through the amount of sales you are generating, they will want to do anything in their power to keep you.
A lot of affiliates will get tasks in their email and then check them. However, emails are time-consuming. Write down your tasks as you open your emails instead of going back to check them constantly. This will be a time saver for you since you'll be able to go to one document, rather than sorting over and over through many emails.
An internet marketing company that offers multiple payment options can be your best choice. This flexibility can sometimes mean quick access to your funds. Some companies require you to meet a threshold before they send you a check, but others deposit into your bank account directly.
Some people try to hard to become a super affiliate. By juggling too many products and specials, they may lose their marketing edge. You have to keep in mind that maximum results are not an option. Give yourself plenty of time so you can develop a plan that works.
Eventually people will inevitably unsubscribe to you and you'll need to find new subscribers. In order to secure new clients, make certain you use just your most effective messages as a way of attracting their attention.
Most individuals will eventually unsubscribe in which you need to then look for new customers. To get and keep customers, open contact with your most proven marketing email.
Asses the products you might link to and be sure they are the right fit for what you trying to accomplish. Properly arranging your links may take some practice, but well-arranged links result in more money for you.
Earn more commissions by adding text marketing to your affiliate plan. While a new service, many affiliates are already using them to keep customers informed and for further boosting their products.
Affiliate Website
Select affiliates with your purpose and target audience in mind. Partners with the right affiliates will increase traffic to your site and give you a good understanding of who your customers are and how to meet their needs.
Not every affiliate website is of good quality. A few have awful web design that make you want to scream. Of course, this is not the best case scenario; however, a website owner who is proactive won't allow an affiliate website with a poor design to stand in the way of making a profit. Not only can this help out but it can get people to purchase and builds trust.
The most effective affiliate companies support affiliates and assist in cross-selling products. Most affiliate companies have the knowledge and experience to know what works and what doesn't. They do the research and figure out what actually works to turn visitors into customers. Many top rated companies share data with their affiliates, meaning the affiliates are able to customize programs and increase the attractiveness of their product.
When selecting prospective affiliates, do so with purpose and with a clear idea of who your target audience is. This not only increases your traffic but also communicates to your audience that you have an understanding of what their needs are.
Strive to earn your readers' trust. When visitors are truly impressed by what you have put together, they are more likely to utilize the referral links when they need the products or services you are promoting.
Build trust with your readers. When readers can identify with the content you provide them, they will be grateful for this and will be more likely to help see to it that your website survives and grows, including clicking referral links to products they plan on purchasing.
Use affiliate marketing programs to more effectively promote your online business. Affiliate marketing programs tend to be more effective than most traditional advertising strategies such as contextual network advertising and ad banners. As you begin to choose what affiliate program works for you, make sure you consider the level of your referral bounties, how popular the directory is, and how easy it is to navigate.
You must know the people who are visiting your site to be successful with internet marketing. Your job is to meet the demands of your audience. By analyzing what your visitors are looking for, you can better provide it. What are your visitors viewing?
if you want to get the best results from working with an affiliate program you need to select a company with a large ratio of customers to sales. You should aim for about a 1% conversion rate.
It is hard, if not impossible to find an online marketing network that offers automatic long-term commission payments. Nonetheless, the potential for earning is still tremendous, and it's worthwhile to explore. Affiliate vendors pay webmasters a commission for products sold to customers the webmasters sent to the vendors. Most affiliate companies will only pay the affiliate seller a commission if a consumer purchases within a certain amount of time. That's why a lifetime commission program is so desirable.
For any kind of marketing to work, you need to be familiar with your target audience. Make an effort to provide for your readers' needs. Knowing why people choose to do business with you can be very helpful. What is something they could be looking at?
Connect with your visitors on a deeper level by scanning a handwritten note or advertisement on your website. The reason for doing this is because sales can skyrocket by adding a more personal feel to your site. Customers can actually see for themselves that there is an actual human being involved in the process. If others have difficulty understanding your handwriting, have someone do it for you.
Publish a digital copy of an advertisement that you have written by hand on your website. Handwritten content adds a touch of something that people feel is more personal. Buyers love seeing that there really is a living human behind the page somewhere. If you dislike writing things by hand, or have illegible handwriting, hire a freelancer to help you create the ad.
Creating a thrilling newsletter that grabs the attention of your reader will make readers interested in joining your mailing list. Before, people used to like receiving emails. These days, people do all what they can to prevent spam from reaching their email address, so making a friendly newsletter can greatly help.
You shouldn't have to rely on only a couple of affiliate partners for your entire business. The wider the variety of sellers and products you link with, the better. A well-rounded group of products and vendors will provide a backup in case any element begins to fail, thereby mitigating potential losses. If you feel like you can easily advertise more products, don't hesitate in looking for more.
All of the content that you produce for affiliate marketing needs to contain positive language. Do not use phrases that have negative words. g.
Affiliate marketing hinges on having many backlinks to your site, but it's important to ensure that those links are not leading readers to deceptive content. Clicking on a "Weber Grill" link should never take your visitors to a "Apple iPad" sales page. Visitors will detect dishonesty on your part, thus negating the potential benefits of your creative strategy.
A 100 percent commission does not imply a scam. Rather than disregard it as a scam, take a close look at the details. There are a lot of companies out there that do offer 100% commission as they receive most of their profits from subscriptions. Such opportunities may still hold promise for you so it may be worthwhile to look into them.
Always make your readers feel that you are open with them. Building a solid base of loyal visitors is only possible if you are honest and display integrity. Being dishonest with your website's readers will only encourage them to pass by your links and deal directly with the manufacturer, without you getting any credit for the referral.
People love contests and prizes, so hold contests regularly and give out prizes to visitors. This is a good way to have visitors keep coming back for more and encourage them to let their friends know as well.
Not all programs that offer 100% commission are scams. It may look like a scam on the surface, but if you take the time to read the contract, you may find that it is a legitimate offer that you can eventually profit from. Some companies that offer subscription services only pay you for the initial subscription and not the recurring charges. Take the time to consider all the terms before making a decision; it's possible that this can actually be a moneymaking endeavor for you.
If you decide to pay for advertising, you gain the benefit of the expertise of individuals who can craft effective advertisements. Advertisements that target your keywords will get traffic to your website and increase sales. This will add to the pool of potential customers you have.
You should always disclose to your readers that you earn money if they make a purchase from an affiliate link. An affiliate link is usually quite obvious, so attempting to hide that fact will only cause distrust between you and your readers. When you are honest about it, your readers stay loyal.
Google Plus
Use reviews from consumers who have already tried the product and speak its' praises or put up screen shots applicable to the item. Customers will buy something from you if you provide them with helpful information and answer their questions.
To gain an edge on your competition, get more Google Plus followers. Try integrating your Google Plus presence into your site and other social networking avenues. Be sure you give your customers something worthy of checking out.
It is more useful to use a few good tips than to know a dozen. You have to be willing to do the upfront work for nothing and have faith it will pay off in the long run. If you keep reading book after book, see this for what it is — stalling. Stop hesitating and get started.
Your online marketing program will work better if you design a specific site dedicated to your affiliate network. Your affiliate programs should be presented in a clear light, this will help grow your program. With proper search engine optimization, potential affiliates who have no knowledge of your product will be able to find you.
Select affiliates carefully and with the needs of your audience in mind. Do not team up with a dish detergent affiliate if your company sells shoes. Your targeted visitors have a specific thing in mind, and that is why they are visiting your site. Place ads on your site to match your visitors interest.
Tracking Service
Investigate every affiliate before adding them, no matter how successful they may seem. Your research should help you decide whether or not you will be successful marketing the affiliate without any major issues.
Make sure the tracking service that you use is reputable. Affiliate programs don't always come with completely accurate tracking services, and if you don't have accurate numbers, you can't effectively work on increasing profits. Avoid this disappointment by using a trustworthy, high quality tracking service. This service costs money, but it proves itself worth every dime.
Know your industry backwards and forwards, including recent developments. If it seems to you like you are falling behind, you probably are. If you don't change this quickly, your competitors will quickly take business away from you.
To goal is to know your target audience and discover ways to not only locate these customers, but to also appeal to their wants and needs. This will prove more successful than stealing customers from competitors. By following the provided advice, you will gain insight on the ways the giants in affiliate promotion became hugely successful.
If you want to make more money you should go for a niche that is unique. Specialty niches are usually more profitable because you have few competitors and your unique products attract a lot of targeted traffic. In contrast, common products with a broad appeal put you in direct competition with many other companies, so you typically have to hope that visitors stumble across your website or else work on establishing your company's reputation and visibility, a process that takes a long time to accomplish.

A full-scale version of Facebook's huge Aquila solar powered drone has successfully completed its first test flight in Yuma, Arizona.
We first reported on Aquila back in August last year. The unmanned airplane has a wingspan of around 42 metres – the same as a Boeing 737 – which is covered by solar cells.
Far lighter than a Boeing due to its design and carbon fibre structure, around half the weight of the craft is taken up by lithium-ion batteries. Its cured carbon fiber wings are stronger than steel for the same mass
of material.
Aquila will ultimately fly far above the clouds and commercial air traffic, enabling it to be fully solar powered during daylight hours and by its batteries, recharged by the solar array, during the night.
The goal of the project is to create a fleet of Aquila-type craft that will beam internet access to remote and underserved communities around the world.
Free space laser communications, operating at fibre optic speed, will create a network between the craft and e-band technology will transmit data to receivers on the ground.
The recent test flight went for 90 minutes, three times longer than planned.
"We were able to verify several performance models and components, including aerodynamics, batteries, control systems, and crew training. In our next tests, we will fly Aquila faster, higher and longer, eventually taking it above 60,000 feet," says Jay Parikh, Facebook's Global Head of Engineering and Infrastructure.
The final version of Aquila will be able to stay aloft for up to 3 months at a time.
"When complete, Aquila will be able to circle a region up to 60 miles in diameter, beaming connectivity down from an altitude of more than 60,000 feet using laser communications and millimeter wave systems," stated Mr. Parikh.
Aquila will consume around the same amount of electricity as a couple of small fan-heaters when at its cruising speed.
As to when Aquila will be ready for prime-time; that isn't clear. Mr. Parikh says the Facebook Connectivity Labs team still has a long way to go before realising their goal of Aquila playing an important part in providing internet access for all.

Non-pathogenic, cosmopolitan parasite. The vegetative form usually colonizes the large intestine (especially the caecum) but can also live in the small intestine. It multiplies by longitudinal binary fission.
Living trophozoites have a stiff, jerky rotary movement. At room temperature the rotation slows until immobility and the parasite takes on a rounded shape. As it slows down, a spiral groove that crosses the center of the body can be seen.
Size: 12-20 μm long, 5-6 μm wide.
Morphology: pear-shaped (piriform), with only one nucleus in the anterior, wider, rounded end that is not visible in fresh specimens. In stained smears (trichrome, hematoxylin) the nucleus displays a small karyosome located centrally or against the nuclear membrane; peripheral chromatin is granular and can be evenly or irregularly distributed over the nuclear membrane. A deep groove is located at the anterior end, near the nucleus: this is the cytostome (the trophozoite mouth), which may extend as far as half way across the trophozoite body and is bordered by curved, shepherds-crook fibrils. The cytostome can often be seen in unstained smears. Many food vacuoles are located within the cytoplasm. In stained preparations, the trophozoite may appear rounded when viewed transversally and, hence, can be confused with an amoebic cyst.
Flagella: four. Three arise from a group of blepharoplasts located in front of the nucleus and are anteriorly directed. A fourth, short and thick flagellum is located inside the cytostome.
This is the infective stage.
Size: 6-10 μm (usual range, 7-9 μm).
Morphology: usually lemon-shaped, with an anterior knob, but often rounded if viewed transversally. Cysts from fresh samples are colorless, refractile, with a thick, clear cell wall; sometimes a nucleus can be seen whose diameter can be as large as half of the entire cyst. In formalin-fixed, stained wet mounts (and especially in permanent stained smears), the cytostome can be seen, displaying a typical open safety pin (shepherds crook) feature.

I chose to research the topic of depression because with all of the problems concerning our grade level, I think that many people are exposed to the causes of depression and therefore are vulnerable to depression. This issue relates to me because I notice that there are many decisions and situations in life that could ruin my family's relationship, or my own personal interests. I also notice that there are many areas where large amounts of stress are exerted. Being exposed to these types of situations are telltale signs that I am liable to depression. Before I started researching about depression, I knew that depression started off by growing from outside sources(traumatic experiences), but becomes self-sufficient by damaging the person's self esteem. I also knew that it affects one's mental and physical health, and that the victim can be left sad and angry. The connections between my past learning and this topic is that I've also assumed that cases come from failing to break bad habits, such as procrastination, disorganization, and shyness. This issue is relevant to today's problems, not only because we are studying self respect now, but also because there are many social problems in our grade level that makes us vulnerable and this is an important issue because of its effects. Depression can tempt teenagers into suicidal actions, could damage their education, and could hurt their relationships.
When people are depressed, they seem to lack effort in continuing to live their life, and they waste their time thinking about all their trouble. This picture represents that by using an example. After researching, I've learned that not only does this issue have a resounding impact, but many of our population today is at risk of developing depression, and is liable to many of its symptoms. This learning experience reminded me to think about the impact of the concepts we are learning, and how that knowledge can be applied to real life.
In my opinion, I think that this issue should be a top priority for building our society because there is no use is raising a generation that quits at every turn & is not self confident. What surprised me when I was researching depression was how short some cases can be, and how there are different types of depressions that vary for different people. I now think of depression as not a symptom, but a disease on its own, dangerous and capable as a physical disease. The information I give can be used to help others who do have depression. A common misunderstanding is that it is a temporary and minor setback in life, but if not treated, depression can lead to life-changing consequences for the victim. Depression cannot be solved in a simple talk with someone about your problems, it must be resolved over time. Some problems with depressions is that its symptoms can be traumatic and permanent, but people today are focused on resolving these symptoms for others they trust, and their support allows one to gain more purpose in life. I now think that Wellness is taught to not only address many health issues, but also to resolve them and build relationships with the people around you so that you can work together to solve a problem.

Almost 15 vehicles were burglarized last week in The Falls of Braselton subdivision, according to incident reports from the Braselton Police Department.
Many of those who reported that items were stolen from the vehicles parked at their residences said the vehicles were unlocked.
The thefts took place between the evening of Monday, Nov. 7 and the early morning of Wednesday, Nov. 9. There were no witnesses to the thefts, according to incident reports.
Some of the stolen items included multiple GPS devices, a laptop, a gun, speakers, headphones, cash and coins, iPods and tools. One man said someone stole an estimated $3,000 in tools, some of which were engraved with his name.
Another man said someone took a camera out of his vehicle and left it on the ground. An officer said the camera would be checked for possible fingerprints of a suspect.
Braselton Incidents
The Braselton Police Department responded to the following incidents last week:
•theft by taking at Jack's Sports Bar on Ga. Hwy. 211, where a man said someone stole a license plate while his vehicle was parked at the restaurant.
•vehicle accident at CVS on Spout Springs Road, where a man said when he was pulling out the pharmacy's parking lot, his vehicle was hit by a dark blue car with several passengers. The man said the driver of the car acted strangely by telling the man and his wife that he didn't want them to see the severe damage to his car. When the man said he'd call police, the driver became nervous and said, "I'm OK, if you are OK." The driver got in his vehicle and left. The man got the driver's license number, but a background check showed that it was registered to a different type of vehicle. The man later reported the incident to police.
•dispute at a Piedmont Street address, where a man said a neighbor was playing his music or video game loudly and it could be heard in the man's residence. An officer said he couldn't hear the music or video games when he arrived, but he asked the neighbor to keep the volume lower. The neighbor said it wouldn't be a problem, and he and the man never got along. The man asked an officer to write a report about the incident.
•verbal dispute at a Friendship Road address, where someone called to report that a man was assaulting a woman near the entrance of Clearwater Plantation subdivision. Police found a couple walking along the road. The man said there was no assault. He said they were walking to a grocery store to get some items, but the woman forgot a food stamp card. They went back home for the card, walked to the grocery store and were walking back home with groceries. The woman denied any assault and assured officers several times that she was fine. An officer said there were no physical signs of abuse and the couple was allowed to leave.
•dispute at a New Liberty Way address, where a man said his brother placed his name on a witness statement and the man was being subpoenaed as a witness in Barrow County. The man said he wanted an incident report about the matter. An officer told the man to call the Barrow County Sheriff's Office about the incident, as well.
•possession of less than one ounce of marijuana on I-85, where a vehicle was stopped for failing to maintain its lane. During a traffic stop, an officer said he could smell the faint odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The driver said someone had been smoking marijuana in the vehicle earlier that day. The 41-year-old driver allowed the officer to search the vehicle, where a marijuana cigarette was found in the magazine rack on a side door. The driver denied having knowledge of the marijuana. The driver was released on a citation for possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.

Declaration of Performance (DoP)
Preparation & Application
Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, sound and free from dust, grease or any contaminating barrier. Make good any unsound areas and remove flaky or peeling layers before tiling.
Prime porous or dusty surfaces. weber PR370 is normally recommended for most walls in dry areas. weber AD250 is recommended for wood, wet areas and floors. Allow the primer to dry.
Check before use that the colour of the adhesive does not cause staining or discolouration of light coloured or translucent tiles.
Gradually add approximately 3.5 parts of powder to 1 part of clean water (measured by volume), and mix to a smooth, workable, stiff paste. Normal usage requires 4 litres of water per 20 kg adhesive.
Use within 60 minutes of mixing.
Do not attempt to extend the pot life by adding more water to the mix.
Do not use at temperatures below 5°C
Apply the adhesive onto the substrate covering up to 1 m2 at a time (or no more than can be tiled within 20 minutes). Use a suitable notched trowel to achieve a bed thickness of 3 to 6 mm. Large or studded backed tiles may need to have adhesive buttered onto the tile back as well.
Bed the tiles firmly into the adhesive with a slight sliding and/or twisting action, to ensure a good contact.
It is good practice to lift an occasional tile after fixing, to verify that the required contact is being achieved.
In wet areas, external areas and all floors, the final adhesive bed should be free from voids. Leave appropriate clearance joints for grouting and make any adjustment within 10 minutes.
Carefully clean off any excess adhesive from the tiles and joints with a damp sponge or cloth, before it sets.
Leave for at least 24 hours before grouting. Longer is required at lower temperatures or when tiling onto impervious or sealed surfaces. For swimming pools, leave at least 3 days before grouting, and then leave for a further 3 weeks before filling.
Brick and blockwork
Allow at least 6 weeks before tiling.
Lightweight blocks need priming. Ensure that the wall face is sufficiently flat.
Cement/sand render or screed
Allow at least 3 weeks for screed and 2 weeks for render before tiling. Priming may be required if the surface is very dusty or porous.
Allow at least 7 weeks before tiling onto new concrete. Surface should be clean and free from laitance - scabbling is recommended.
Set time will be extended on dense or power floated screeds.
Existing ceramic/vinyl tiles
Ensure that the substrate is strong enough to take the weight of extra tiling, that the existing tiles are firmly adhered and that the surface is free from any wax or polish. Set time will be extended.Plaster walls and anhydrite screeds
Leave plaster for at least 4 weeks before tiling. Ensure anhydrite screeds are fully dry (moisture content <0.5%). It is important that the surface is abraided and sealed by repeatedly coating with primer until the surface stops absorbing. For walls in dry areas use weber PR370 otherwise use weber AD250 or weber PR360.
Underfloor heating/undertile warming
The heating must be off, and should be turned on gradually at least 5 days after tiling.
Wallboards; fibre/cement, plywood, plasterboard, MDF
The board must be securely braced and fixed with screws at least every 300 mm. Prime the reverse face and edges of plywood with weber AD250 before fixing.
Wooden floors
Ensure the floor is rigid and strong enough to support the expected load with only minimal deflection. Tongued and grooved timber and chipboard must be overboarded with exterior grade plywood at least 15mm thick. Plywood floors should be at least 18 mm thick and all joints must be supported. New boards should be primed on the reverse face and edges. All boards must be screwed down every 300 mm.
Allowance for movement
Flexible joints should be incorporated to allow for slight movements due to changes in temperature, humidity etc. as indicated by BS5385:
a) where the tiling meets other materials (e.g. floor perimeters)
b) along all internal corners - vertically and horizontally
c) over existing movement joints or changes in background material
d) dividing large tiled areas into bays (every 3 - 4.5 m on walls, 8 - 10 m on floors)
Packaging, Health & Safety

Everyone has a 'signature' style whether they realise it or not. I know that phrase gets thrown around a lot but what does it actually mean? Have you ever walked into a shop with a friend and they pick something up saying 'that's so you?' It's as simple as that. It's the fashion style you're perceived under. Fashion in this day and age is heavily influenced by the top A lister celebrities and those talented top designers. I myself, could check out pictures of Olivia Palermo's style all day everyday. She makes the most basic things glamorous, which I one day aspire to do.
We all do it, we lust at celebrities in magazines, seeing new trends hitting the market or simply eyeing up those mannequins already styled for us in our favourite shops. Whether you're constantly looking for a wardrobe revamp or you want to work outside your comfort zone. First you need to understand the fundamentals. I wrote a post on 8 essential pieces that I think every woman should have in their wardrobe. When the best basics are of access, styling falls into place.
Next you need to understand your body shape & the correct way to dress for it. You don't always have to follow the rules on this one, but it helps simplify the styling process. Finding and re-defining your personal style can be a struggle but it's important.
The impact of personal style can for a start make a great first impression but it can also have you feeling confident and ready to take what life has to throw at you. Having good style is a way to say who you are without having to speak. Feeling great in what you wear is important. As Steve Maraboli once said "There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty."
Top Tips To Finding Your Personal Style
Seek Inspiration
Jot down the names of those gorgeous girls you see in magazines, Instagram or my favourite method – Pinterest! Pinterest is an amazing platform for inspiration. I love to scope out the latest street style looks with girls rocking ruffles, clashing colours and garnished tones. Create a board on Pinterest under 'Style Inspiration' and begin to pin the outfits you like. When you've finished really focus on what they have in common. When you look at mine, it's a very clear theme. It's outfits I'd be comfortable wearing.
Clear Out
Clean up your wardrobe and clear it out. Time to toss anything that doesn't make you feel amazing. If you haven't worn it in 6 months, stop kidding yourself. You're never going to wear it. Toss what you don't need and start fresh. A really good tip for organising your wardrobe is by turning all your hangers in the opposite way around. As you take a garment out to wear hang it up with the hanger the right way in. Anything still facing backwards after 6 months, trust your gut and toss it!
Find Your Shades
Finding the right shades for you is just as important as finding the right silhouette. For me, I stick to the neutrals but there is many blog posts online all about the best colours to wear for your skin tone. If you really don't want to experiment with colour you can add a pop of coloured lipstick for effect.
Always Take Something you like But "Isn't You" into the Dressing Room
A change of season always pushes me to my limit with standard style. I like to experiment. While maintaining my aesthetic, I always try new pieces to see if they go with anything I own. Try experimenting with different styles, you never know what you might come across. It could be like Cinderella reunited with her shoe all over again. Slip into something you could never see yourself in and boom, it's your new statement piece in your wardrobe. What's the worst that can happen by just trying it on?
Build Up Your Accessories
Right now I'm all about a fresh take on accessories. Accessories can make or break an outfit especially if you're quite a monochrome girl like me. Accessories are by far the easiest way to pull an outfit together. If you're wearing a white cotton tee and basic black skinnies you can instantly dress yourself up by wearing an ear cuff, arm cuff or statement necklace. Add a neck scarf, or opt in for a chunky necklace with your basics or go wild with a colourful clutch to add some personality to your look.
Ask for help
When you need help with your teeth, you see a dentist. When you need help with your hair, you go to a hair dresser. It's the exact same when it comes to style. Don't be afraid to reach out to a professional to see what they can do for you. You can meet with a stylist to help work a wardrobe together for you or even meet with a tailor if you're clothes fit but not the way you want them too. It's ok to ask for a bit of help every now and again.
Trust Your Instincts
The most important thing about your style is you and how you feel. Fashion is personality. We all make it our own, we experiment, we try trends, hate trends, love trends. Continue to experiment. Work with different colours and textures. Be bold and express yourself the way you want too. And finally…
If you like something & feel good in it – WEAR IT!
I cannot begin to express the amount of times I've picked something up in a shop with someone saying they don't like it. The end of the day, I don't care. If I feel myself in something, I wear it with pride and that's exactly what you should do too.

New Vitamin for Infertility
Japanese scientists have discovered a new vitamin that plays an important role in fertility in mice and may have a similar function in humans.
The Tokyo-based Institute of Physical and Chemical Research confirmed that pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a substance discovered in 1979, can be categorized as a vitamin.
Mice deprived of PQQ suffer reduced fertility and roughened fur. Vitamins that have an important effect on mice usually act in the same way in humans, the researchers said.
PQQ is the first new vitamin to be discovered since 1948. It is thought to belong the to B-vitamin group. Vitamins are defined as organic substances needed in small quantities for health and growth. They must be obtained from food because they cannot be produced by the body.
PQQ is not usually found in multi-vitamin tablets. The best source of PQQ discovered so far is "natto," a pungent Japanese dish of fermented soybeans. Other foods rich in PQQ are parsley, green tea, green peppers, kiwi fruit and papaya.
Source: Reuters Health News, March 24, 2003
Stacey's comment,
There is so much that we have not discovered in regards to fertility and there is new information that comes up all the time. But the one constant through it all is that nutrition can enhance your fertility. As long as you are absorbing nutrients appropriately a good diet of balanced low glycemic carbs, proteins and healthy fats is so important.
Instead of buying the supplements above make it your goal to increase the natural sources of PQQ in your diet. Natto is definitely an "acquired taste" but this wonderful vitamin can also be found in parsley, green tea, green peppers, kiwi fruit and papaya. So make sure you have these in your diet over the course of the week and as long as your digestion is good, you will be absorbing some powerful nutrients to improve your fertility.
