The key feature that makes disc pack couplings different from other models is the parallel arrangement of multiple friction elements. They can be used under high loads and are popular with engineers for being both compact and cost-effective. Standard disc pack couplings often operate in oil and are generally used in automatic transmissions, high-load main and starting couplings, and limited slip differentials. The coupling specialist R+W Antriebselemente GmbH has now expanded its popular LP range of torsionally strong disc pack couplings and is showcasing a new model at HANNOVER MESSE 2017 alongside its existing products. The new coupling is available with integrated cooling lubrication and is thus set to be particularly useful to manufacturers of machine tools with long spindle setup.
Thanks to an integrated inner tube and adaption interfaces on both sides, the specially designed double Cardan spindle couplings can apply the cooling lubricant directly into the tool - even across a long distance. To withstand high and dynamic processing speeds, the couplings are fitted with weight-optimized CFRP or aluminum outer tubing. What's more, symmetrical conical clamping rings and special balancing mechanisms ensure minimum operating noise and excellent balance, while shaft misalignments are compensated for by the torsionally strong disc packs. As a result, this robust and powerful model helps users to simplify spindle setup, cut assembly times, increase processing speeds and extend service life.

llusional Reality romantic fantasy.
'Romance, Magic, Action…Illusional Reality has it all.' Emily Woodmansee
Nobody expects to stare death in the face only to find out your entire life is a lie. Rescued by Salco, marketing executive Becky finds herself in an unknown magical world filed with happy people that try to forget their land is on the brink of destruction.
Becky will soon learn that her arrival is no accident. If learning that she is Thya, the heir of the enchanting land isn't enough, she's then told that an Oracle prophesied that she will save the gentle Tsinians from slavery and domination by Darthorn, the Warlord of Senx.
It is at a festival where she is introduced to the Tsinian council and her kinsmen, that she learns the whole truth. The council are so certain that a union between Darthorn's son, Kovon and Thya will create peace between the two lands. However, Darthorn has plans for Tsinia as does Kovon for Thya and neither are good.
Although her future has been planned and if she is to save Tsinia she must marry Kovon, Thya gives her heart to another. A love that is forbidden and dangerous.
Illusional Reality is a story about hope, courage, love and sacrifice.
'This story is unique. No typical fantasy stereotyping.'
This magical fantasy is yours for only $0.99
"I absolutely loved the story from start to finish. I could totally see this as a movie like The Hobbit or Lord of The Rings. What a great world the author created!"
"Kantas doesn't waste time getting to the action that turns Becky's world upside down, and I love it."
"I don't always enjoy fantasy but this story is well written and full of twists. You are able to visualize Becky's surroundings and will be in awe as she is."

Hanging out with Miss Julee and Romeo while everyone worked on the KNWA Live special.
The family...I think Stella was a fan of the race and all the people around.
This was such a fun idea that Huggies set up at the race...Crawl for a Cure!
Stella in position and ready to take on the competition.
Looking at Daddy for a reminder on how this crawling thing works. She hasn't officially taken off yet at home...she just rocks back and forth so we really just did this for pictures.
Still trying to figure it out.
Eying the competition.
Focused on the finish line!
And this is how far she got..about an inch. But it was a fun idea and she got a box of FREE diapers for participating!

Whether we are talking about copyright, safe design, professional negligence or various other matters, architects around Australia face risks in a number of areas, and it is important for them to understand what these are and to have appropriate strategies through which to manage them in place.
According to Rob Buchanan, a partner at law firm Norton Rose & Fulbright and chartered civil engineer, these can be considered as either legal risks or risks to the architect's reputation.
With regard to the latter category, he says an important issue revolves around copyright, whereby those who produce various forms of bespoke designs may want to think about intellectual property issues associated with how they can maintain worldwide control over the design in question and where and how it is able to be used. This has often been an issue with iconic or landmark structures; designs relatively similar to the London Eye, for example, are popping up in parts of the world including in Melbourne (though no suggestion of any breach of intellectual property rights is intended).
A further area of risk can occur where architects are unable to control important amendments to the design – a situation which could lead to the final as-built product not according with the original vision of the architect yet bearing the architect's name. This could occur, for example, where the original design is thought to be buildable according to the information available to the architect at the time but subsequently has to be modified due to structural or technical advice from engineers or a suggestion from engineers of less costly design alternatives.
Less commonly, there could be issues in which the quality of the as-built product failed to match that of the design because of substandard workmanship during construction. A famous example of this occurred in France, where renowned architect Jean Nouvel tried (and failed) to have his name struck off the Philharmonie 1 building which opened last year, claiming his design had been 'martyred' and the detail 'sabotaged' thanks to poor quality workmanship.
In terms of legal issues, Buchanan says architects could potentially be liable for damages in cases where their designs turn out to be unsafe or not buildable. This could happen, for example, where an engineer or builder discovered that the architect's design as it stood was not constructible but this was picked up only after the principal had incurred significant expense in terms of gaining development approvals, entering into arrangements with investors or pre-letting some space. In a similar manner, architects could also be proportionately liable for damages where designs they produce do not turn out to be constructible within budget and this is not picked up until late in the process.
Less commonly nowadays, any architects who act as certifiers in contracts must in general (subject to specific terms contained within the individual contact in question) act in an impartial manner despite being paid and employed by the principal. This can be problematic, for instance, if the building contractor takes action over issues relating to variations or extensions of time and alleges that the architect in question has unduly favoured the principal in the performance of his or her certification duties.
Professor Kim Lovegrove FAIB, a principal at Melbourne based construction law firm Lovegrove Smith and Cotton and the president of the northern chapter of the New Zealand Institute of Building as well as a past conjoint professor in Building Regulation and Certification at the University of Newcastle agrees with Buchanan's point regarding certification but insists that the most significant area of potential exposure revolves around buildings which fail to comply with relevant statutory provisions such as the Building Code of Australia. Such buildings are inevitably a result either of defective workmanship, defective design or both, he said – with any questions over the design creating potential exposure from an architect's viewpoint.
In terms of risk mitigation, Lovegrove says suitable levels of insurance are important as is observing the detail of the contract at all times. While professional indemnity insurance is not mandatory in all states, Lovegrove says carrying this is nevertheless prudent. The contract, meanwhile, represents the fundamental affairs of the contracting parties, and failure to follow this to the letter repeatedly causes trouble.
Architects should also refrain from chasing work which is outside their capacity with regard to skills and experience.
"Anybody should stay in their weight division," Lovegrove said. "Stay in your weight division. Don't punch above your weight."
Buchanan, meanwhile, says it is important that the contract identifies the risks that are carried in the agreement. He says architects should ideally ensure that they are either not held responsible for specified given risks and/or ensure that there is a cap on their overall liability under the contract to the extent of their fees.
In terms of insurance, BJS Insurance Group senior account manager Alex Conlon says it is important to obtain not just insurance advice but legal advice (from lawyers) as well. While agents or brokers could offer advice, this was coming from an insurance perspective only and does not generally reflect any form of holistic or comprehensive advice about the types of liability which architects are agreeing to under the contract.
When entering into a contract, he says architects should be careful about agreeing to any form of liability beyond what they would usually be held responsible for under standard professional service liability, as this additional liability may not be covered under professional indemnity insurance. This could occur, for instance, where the contract included contractual provisions such as 'hold harmless' clauses, which might require the architect to respond to certain legal liabilities incurred by the principal in respect of say, public liability claims the principal might incur during construction or operation of the building.
When choosing professional indemnity insurance, Conlon says it is important to look at the different exclusions of various policies as well as any additional benefits which might be covered by some policies but not others. Some policies, for example, include cover for liability arising out of the safe design provisions of workplace health and safety legislation.
Outside of professional indemnity, Conlon says other forms of insurance architects could consider include material damage (damage to physical property such as mobiles, laptops, cameras), theft, management liability, workers compensation, business interruption (loss of turnover due to physical disruption), motor vehicle insurance and corporate travel insurance.
Throughout their operations, architects in Australia face considerable levels of risk.
Through sensible strategies, however, such risks can be managed to acceptable levels.

Mighty Good Undies Bare For Good – Laura Wells
(Biologist, Environmentalist, Activist, Model)
As part of the Mighty Good Undies 'Bare for Good' campaign during Fashion Revolution Week (April 24th – 30th) Laura was one of the selected celebrities and change makers that participated and was asked several questions including DO YOU HAVE A LOVE STORY WITH YOUR CLOTHES ?
"I have lots of things in my wardrobe! But I think my love story in my wardrobe would be the fact that I have learnt to only buy quality pieces now. When I was younger I used to be a little bit frivolous and purchase whatever I could afford or things I didn't really need. Now that I've got older and wiser I think that I make really quality decisions and really want to understand where my clothes come from and things that I am only going to wear. So for me, its definitely a love story with how much I have learnt and what's actually in there now."
To see more from the Mighty Good Undies interview with Laura, please visit www.bareforgood.com
Mighty Good Undies
Hannah Parris and Elena Antoniou are the socially conscious entrepreneurs behind Mighty Good Undies, an Australian based ethical underwear brand that creates cool and comfortable cotton underwear whilst being kind to the environment. Hannah has had experience working with ethical textiles supply chains in India previously through her label 'Audrey Blue' and during this time came into contact with organic and Fairtrade produced cotton supplier Chetana Organics and their production partner Rajlakshmi Cotton Mills. Through her producer and supplier Hannah was able to meet with cotton farmers and makers in order to see first hand how fashion can create sustainable livelihoods for workers whilst improving environmental outcomes in the textile supply chain – which happens to be the second most polluting industry on earth. After more than 10 years spent running creative businesses in publishing, PR and fashion design, Elena was certain she wanted to create an ethical brand producing high quality garments and also empowering consumers to make better choices when considering sustainable fashion.
While undertaking extensive research ahead of setting up Mighty Good Undies, Hanna and Elena found out the real impact that cotton has on the planet and people who make our clothes. All Mighty Good Undies are made with 95% organic cotton which is really soft on the skin and 5% elastane which adds great fit and durability, with brushed elastic used on waistbands for extra comfort and style. Eco-friendly and colourfast dyes are used and no dangerous or toxic chemicals are used at any stage in the production process.
Giving back is built into the DNA of Mighty Good Undies and they proudly support the Hope Foundation which provides protection, education, health and economic training opportunities to women and children living in the slums and streets of Kolkata. As well as being one of the poorest cities in India, Kolkata is also the place where Mighty Good Undies make their clothes so they are helping to make a real difference in a country they have grown to love. The global movement that is Fashion Revolution have Fashion Revolution Week which has just started (24th – 30th April) and is based around the question 'where do our clothes come from?' To coincide with this Mighty Good Undies have launched the 'Bare for Good' campaign where eleven celebrities and change makers have been invited to 'bare' themselves for 'good' with the aim of helping to promote a shift in the way fashion is viewed.
Mighty Good Undies aim to build a well recognised Australian Fairtrade Cotton brand and have a vision to see ethically produced cotton become an acceptable and accessible product in much the same ways as 'Fairtrade' and 'organic' food products.

We are excited to kickoff a series of videos that will give our audience insight to what life looks like at Garland Heart. We want to share things such as:

Every year we look to continue to be a company that has equal goals of profit with purpose, so the last 4 years we have created a theme (and corresponding t-shirt) to express that goal. This year we wanted our theme to have multiple meanings. We spent a lot of time thinking about what would be the best way we could help the world but also
Garland Heart is continuing to expand it's sales presence nationally and Hannah Day is going to help us do that!

She has been in the financial industry for the last 10 years working in electronic banking services, product management,
Each and every week we send off our people out around the country to help our client's become more secure and compliant. Due to that fact, we found we didn't have a great need for our own physical office space. We have had offices in the past but they were mostly used as a meeting spot rather than our everyday office space. As busy as we have been
Culture is a tricky thing. You want one that stands out from the pack of other small businesses but you also realize that you don't have the resources of a Google, Facebook or Amazon. So a few years ago, we decided to opt-in to one idea that we think is not only the right way to go in our company but in any other modern day business. We
Thanks to everyone who donated and participated in the 2014 Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) 5K walk this past weekend! Team Nerada raised over $2,200 and we had approximately 38 walkers.
When my father and I started this company over ten years ago with only three people, we just hoped to have a few clients and be happy to support those clients as best we could. Fast forward to today....it's truly humbling to see how this organization has grown, both in size and its core purpose, with well over 80 clients in multiple states and
Lymphoma is the most common blood cancer in adults and the third most common cancer overall among children.
On Saturday, April 5, 2014, I will be walking in the Dallas/Ft. Worth 5K Lymphomathon. My goal is to raise $1,000 for the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF). The LRF is the nation's largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to

Melinda Angeles started volunteering for 412 Food Rescue after learning about it through the Sustainability Green Team of Allegheny County. It was the perfect volunteer opportunity for Melinda; she loves to help others and hates when things are wasted.
When volunteering, Melinda goes to cafes and restaurants to pick up leftover food and then personally delivers the leftovers to organizations that feed people in need. After delivering the food, she would frequently receive hugs and appreciation from the people she helped. Melinda gained many heartwarming experiences by meeting and talking to people that she wouldn't have met without volunteering with 412 Food Rescue. But don't take our word for it. Check out this video to learn more about Melinda's inspiring volunteer experience.
Still, Melinda thought she could do even more for 412 Food Rescue. And that's where the DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon's Run for a Reason Charity Program presented by Bank of America comes in.
After previously running a half-marathon, Melinda and her sister initially decided to run the UPMC Health Plan Pittsburgh Half Marathon as a bonding experience. While signing up, however, Melinda saw that she could Run for 412 Food Rescue and jumped at the opportunity to do something she loved for an organization she loves. According to Melinda:
"It was an opportunity for free registration to an event that would provide an incentive to work out and hours of exclusive bonding time with my sister in our hometown – so I didn't have to buy plane tickets – while also supporting an organization that means a lot to me!"
While training with her sister was her favorite part of last year's race, Melinda was also excited with how lively Pittsburgh was on race day. As she ran, Melinda received high-fives and heard cheers from 412 Food Rescue workers and supporters, as well as some old friends. She proudly wore her 412 Food Rescue shirt and was recognized by the 412 Food Rescue cheer group as the "girl who delivers bagels to them every Friday." The outpouring of love and support from fellow racers to spectators was electric and made her experience even better.
When asked why others should run for 412 Food Rescue in the upcoming year, Melinda shared countless reasons. Most importantly was her sense of accomplishment —not only that she completed another half-marathon, but that she got to raise money and awareness for her favorite charity. Running with her sister while being cheered on by thousands of people in the energy filled streets of Pittsburgh was a bonus that made the day one to remember.
Thanks to the DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon's Run for a Reason Charity Program presented by Bank of America, Melinda was able to combine her love of running and passion for helping others for an unforgettable experience that surely made a lasting impact.

From the Super Mario Wiki
(Redirected from Hoopstar)
Jump to:navigation, search
Retrieved from "https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Hoopster&oldid=2730422"
Hoopsters are large, ladybug-like insects first encountered in Super Mario Bros. 2 as infrequent enemies.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
In Super Mario Bros. 2, Hoopsters can be found crawling up and down vines, speeding up if the player is near/on their vines and hurting the player if they touch them from the side or below. By jumping on top of a Hoopster though, the player can ride them up the vine the creature is crawling on. In NES and SNES version, Hoopsters are red with black dots, but in the Game Boy Advance version, they are yellow with brown dots.
Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
In the Super Mario All-Stars and GBA versions of Super Mario Bros. 3, the king of Desert Hill is turned into a Hoopster with his own magic wand by Morton Koopa Jr.
Additionally, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 features them as enemies in Rich with Ropes, acting as they did in their debut. The sprites for them were reused from the main game.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]
Several Hoopsters appear as minions of King Koopa in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Mario and the Beanstalk", being sent by King Koopa to attack Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Toad and their goose ally on a giant beanstalk. These Hoopsters are defeated by Mario, who throws several Garbanzo Beans at them.
Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]
When Mario first arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom in Double Trouble, he spots some Hoopsters (most of them presumably sand clones created by the GLOM) fighting for room on a hill. Later, Mario casually mentions that he hates it when the beetles ruin his picnics by stealing the food.
In Leaping Lizards, Hoopsters are used in the second International Mushroom Games event, the Beetlebowl, in which the goal is to catch and dunk Hoopsters into an opposing team's bucket. The gold trophy awarded to the winner of the tournament is also described as being based on a Hoopster.
In Pipe Down!, Ludwig von Koopa can use his giant pipe organ to summon some Hoopsters and other enemies to swarm the Mario Bros. if they attempt to attack him directly during one portion of the book. In Dinosaur Dilemma, while traveling through a forest, Yoshi spots some Hoopsters crawling around a tree trunk, and eyes them hungrily.
Names in other languages[edit]

Lesson 1 (from Prologue)
The Prologue discusses the treatment of prisoners of war by the Japanese. The Japanese signed, but never ratified the Geneva Convention of 1929, which concerned the humane treatment of prisoners. The objective of this lesson is to discuss how the Japanese treated prisoners of war.
1) Class discussion: Where were the prisoners at Puerto Princesa Prison camp directed to go on December 14? After the men crammed into the air-raid shelters, what did the Japanese throw inside? What happened when men tried to escape the fires? What else got thrown into the shelters after they were on fire? How did a paralyzed prisoner die? Why were Japanese soldiers stationed on the beach? Did they kill any escaping prisoners? What happened to men who hid in the water? What happened to prisoners who tried to hide on the shore? What was the "August 1 Kill-All Order"? Did the order tell...

A market analysis contains a lot of information that can be beneficial to your company's current and future business operations. The reason why businesses execute market analysis is for them to have an evaluation of the market where their operations exist.
Hence, it should contain not only a quantitative assessment but a qualitative research approach as well. If a company can successfully know the external factors that can affect its operations, then it will be easy to know if the internal resources of the business are maximized to their utmost potential. If you are unfamiliar on how to develop a market analysis or if you totally have no idea on what an analysis is, fret not as we have listed samples of market analysis in this post which you can use as your references.
Market analysis, just like a root cause analysis, should be planned and implemented in a precise manner. You have to be aware of what you want to know so that you can easily execute a call to action that can provide you with the details that you need for your assessment. Market analysis is an essential part of a business plan, especially when considering the fact that it allows establishments to ensure that they have a place in the market where their target customers are at. A few of the purposes of having a market analysis include the following:
1. To provide an overview of the economy within the marketplace where your business belongs. It is important for your business to have a guide for growth. Having this can be easier if you are familiar with the market that you are currently tapping. You may also see market analysis of a business plan.
2. To ensure that your business is not only focused on identifying national trends. A market analysis allows businesses to weight their competitiveness in the regional scene which is a great way to be more keen on what is really externally affecting the business and its operations.
3. To provide local knowledge to the management. If your business is thorough when it comes to the assessment of the market and your competitors, then it is most likely that your business will thrive for a long time. Knowing your target and how you can play on the field where there are businesses having the same offers can help you stand out even more from your competitors. You may also see the comparative market analysis.
4. To give an advantage when it comes to business strategic planning. How you plan your business strategies is important as it can affect your next operational year. A market analysis, as a part of a business plan, can help your company to identify the items that you can improve on so that you can have a bigger and wider market share. You may also see sales analysis.
Coming up with a comprehensive and effective market analysis can do a lot of positive things to your business especially when it comes to marketing, branding, sales, and advertising. If you want to benefit from a market analysis, you first need to be aware of the things that you need to observe and consider. Some of the things that you have to look into while making a market analysis are as follows:
1. The customers that you would like to target.
2. The level of competitiveness within the marketplace.
3. The market niche that you want to have a hold on.
4. The current condition of the landscape of the market.
5. The market segment that you would like to penetrate.
6. The opportunities that you can grab for your business to thrive in the market that you are analyzing. You may also see the critical analysis.
7. The purchasing behavior, needs, demands, and activities of your target customers.
8. The risks and other consequences of tapping your desired market.
9. The value of being able to penetrate in the marketplace.
10. The economic barriers that hinder your desire to enter the market.
11. The competition that you will come face to face with if you decide to fully immerse in the marketplace. You may also see statement analysis.
12. The relevance of the branding efforts and image development of the company to the expectations and needs of the customers.
13. The regulations that you need to follow within the entirety of business processes.
Compared to a root cause analysis that is commonly used by businesses to find resolutions to existing problems, you may have noticed that there are more elements that you need to consider when making a market analysis. This is for the reason that there is a wider scope of operations involved when developing one. If you can be knowledgeable of how these elements link with one another, then you can have a more efficient time in making the market analysis for your business.
Some people have a misconception that market analysis is what serves as the foundation of marketing activities. In reality, market analysis is what actually helps the business identify the changes that it can do to ensure that it can properly brand its business to promote awareness in the marketplace. Again, a market analysis is an external study that can actually affect the internal procedures of the business. A few of the reasons on why market analysis is important are as follows:
1. A market analysis helps you to ensure that the customers of the business are prioritized. Through market analysis, you can easily understand the market movement and the factors that affect the purchasing decisions of your customers. You may also see process analysis.
2. Being able to implement a comparative market analysis can help you understand your market properly. This will allow you to identify the factors that affect market trends, shifts, and shares. This can make it easier for you to prepare the business for possible impacts of these movements.
3. Creating a market analysis and implementing it can make you more observant of your sales proposition. Hence, you can expect more foot traffic and brand development if you can make sure that you are targeting the correct audience in the correct market. You may also see the business analysis.
4. The market analysis allows your business to project the marketplace in different manners. Hence, making certain corporate decisions like segmentation and market niche development can be more efficient. You may also see the operational analysis.
If you want to identify the threats and opportunities that are present in the marketplace, having a market analysis can help you a lot. This will also allow you to capitalize on the strengths of your business and develop the grey areas or the weaknesses of your company. Listed below are some of the tips that you can find useful if you are already prepared to create a market analysis. You may also see company analysis.
1. It is important for you to know the audience who will review the market analysis. As a part of the business plan of the company, you must create a presentation that is fit to be assessed by the higher management.
2. Your market analysis must be presented in an organized manner. The same goes when you are creating a SWOT analysis for your business where you have to develop a format where your discussion is arranged is a certain way. It must be easy for the audience of your market analysis to see the flow of your statements so that they can identify the relevance of each market analysis clause to the current condition of the business.
3. Remember that it is essential for you to give focus on the segmentation of the market. Always consider demographics when developing a market analysis as it can affect the entire process a lot. You may also see needs analysis.
Having a market analysis can help you be aware of the current condition of your market. With this, you can easily create a trend forecast on where the market will go. Being able to do this can make your company resilient and prepared in adjusting certain offers and business changes. If you can prepare yourself before the development of a market analysis, then you can put together all the essential elements that can make the document as effective and useful as it can be. You may also see organizational analysis.
Always keep in mind that being able to collect data is not the end of the procedure. You need to ensure that the proper assessment of gathered information is present in the market analysis that you will develop. Create a market analysis now and implement it accordingly. Make sure to not forget the content of this post so you can have a guide to the creation of your company's own market analysis. You may also see the literary analysis.

The major tragedy in experiencing difficulties is not the challenges itself, but the inability to move on, the inability to let go and the inability to learn and grow. Your perspective during difficult times is vital to how long it will last and how intact you will be when it is over. With every moment we have a choice, Am I a victim? Or am I a victor? Choose to see the benefit of your perfecting, choose to disconnect your worth and your value from the challenge, choose to seek God's guidance and choose to trust and stand firm on the truth that He loves you and even in this, has not left you. Challenges causes you to dig deep, deep enough to discover that you may have lost something, only to gain something much greater…..Strength,,, Wisdom,,, Confidence,,, and the understanding of God's love for you.
Repeat After Me… On a deeper level I have learned to trust, on a deeper level I know that I am being perfected and on a deeper level I see myself whole. I choose to recognize the gifts of my lessons learned through difficult times. I choose to build my life on the new direction that has me only moving forward. I will give all my attention to what is ahead and to what I have become…I have become Stronger, Wiser, Courageous and Blessed beyond measure… Now Believe it and Know it!!!
Have you ever heard a saying "When you know better, you do better?" Knowing something for sure makes it really hard to pretend that you didn't know it,, because you are expected to perform on a different level, you are no longer average. Average,, doesn't trust, because they didn't know that God said that he would never leave them. Average,, worries about tomorrow, because they didn't know that tomorrow will care for itself. Average,, is afraid, because they didn't know to "Fear Not". When you know your purpose and have caught a glimpse of what it look like, it's no way you can go back to average, you know too much… So what do you do with what you know? You lock in with focused determination and an obedient heart of courage and… keep moving,,, even in the dark… "Be Strong and Courageous", "Be Strong and Courageous", "Be Strong and Courageous"!!!
Repeat After Me… I am above average, I have a purpose. I know my path has been set for victory, I know that I am not alone and I know that I am courageous. I will walk with faithful confidence, mature obedience and a powerful partnership with God… then I will see great success, because I know too much! Now Believe it and Know it!!!
it all starts with you
Most often when a person is honored in ministry it is usually in church, they are acknowledged as a person of calling. Those positions are great and are important, but the position in ministry that is equally as important is your personal ministry and it shows up in what you do every day. All are called, so who will choose to answer? The answer is in Teacher (ministry), Nurse (ministry), Executive (ministry), Police Officer (ministry), Stay at home Mom (ministry), Hairstylist (ministry), Mechanic (ministry), Business Owner (ministry), etc. Wherever you are, and whatever your profession, this is where your ministry starts. In the marketplace is where others should see God, it was not only reserved for church. You were called for something great right where you are, you are the example, you are the voice and you are the presence of God's love right where you are. Right where you are; is where healing begins, where grace begins, where deliverance begins and where your ministry begins. There is no position so insignificant that God cannot be exemplified.
Repeat After Me…I am the example of God's love right where I am; I create the presence of His compassion, and the gift of His forgiveness. I am a walking, living, breathing representation of what God's love look like and feel like. I will remain aware of my position of honor, aware of my ear for wisdom and aware of my marketplace ministry. I am called and I have answered…Great is my Reward!!! Now Believe it and Know it!!!
Personal Love affair
Personal Love Affair
Our relationship with God is the most important relationship that we will ever nurture, develop, and protect, but for most, there is a big void or gap so large that this vital connection is not felt. That gap only comes from you; God is closer to you than before you were born. His love is not like a yo-yo toy; it will never draw you in close, and then push you away. His love is as close as the breath that you breathe. The gap is a personal perception that you have created through the way that you think; "I have messed up to much, God can't love me", "I do not pray like the preacher, God cannot hear Me.", "I don't understand the Bible, God has given up on me." These thoughts are not true and will make you think God is somewhere out there and unreachable. His love will stay with you always. Your relationship with God is a personal love affair that no one thing or person can dictate or take away. He is in love with you, and when you fall in love with Him, the void and gap will disappear…your relationship is already there, it is complete, it is settled….Like a compactor that smashes metal together, close the gap that was created with thoughts of insignificance and insecurity of your personal God affair.
Repeat After Me… My God affair is deliberate, it is constant and it is sure. I am cherished, I am protected and I am significant. The gap is gone, my relationship is restored, my relationship is real and my relationship is forever. I will never be left to find another love greater than this, it belongs to me always…The gap is gone… Now believe it and Know it!!!
Change your mind
Change your mind
We always have a choice in what we think and how we think. Your mind belongs to you, so changing it will always be your choice. Here's how it works; I feel angry, but I change my mind, I choose to let it go. I feel depressed, but I change my mind, I choose to be happy. I feel discouraged, but I change my mind, I choose to be empowered. I feel overwhelmed, but I change my mind, I choose to release anxiety. I feel violated, but I change my mind, I choose to forgive. Every situation can be change by simply changing your mind. God would have never told us to worry not, fear not or do not be concerned, if we didn't have the ability to do so. You are free to live, to love, and to thrive when you change your mind. Repeat After Me…I will rest in the peace and unmeasurable joy of my life, knowing that I can control the outcome when I change my mind. I am happy, I am joyful, I am blessed, I am stable, I am secure…because I changed my mind. Now Believe it and Know it!!!
Know who you Are!
When someone ask you; who are you? What is the first answer that comes to mind? Do you immediately think of your occupation? Your title? Your age? Your nationality? Are you not more than those things? Those things are temporary, they all come and go, so that cannot be truly who you are if God said that you are an eternal being. There is no end to who you really are; you are as one with God. You are a limitless, powerful, strong, gracious and wise spiritual being, capable of great accomplishments, great ability and great success. This greatness is already inside of you waiting to be revealed. They are revealed and demonstrated in your life when you embrace who you are…So I ask…Who are you?....Repeat After me… I am one with God; I own all of His characteristics. I am love, I am peace, I am abundant and I am His will on earth. I will embrace who I am, I will express who I am and I will teach who I am…All through LOVE! Now Believe it and Know It!!!

I talked about the value of trailers to filmmakers. It got me thinking about the music sampler, free MP3s, peer to peer sharing and other ways musicians' music can be discovered even before their album is out – "musical trailers", if you will.
For me, the musical trailer that leads to a new band, musician, or song is often a shared file sent to me by a friend or client musician. Random nuggets of discovery that lead to musical happiness, vetted by people I trust. For a growing number of people, musical trailers come from sites like Grooveshark, Pandora, Blip.fm, iLike, Last.fm, iMeem (now Myspace music), LaLa, Musicovery, FlyFi and others. Lately, by hooking sites like LaLa and Blip.fm to Twitter accounts, Twitter has become my main source of music discovery.
Hooking whatever account the music lover or band uses for music sharing, even multiple sites, to Twitter creates one stream for music discovery for people in your network. It gives you a way to create a musical trailer stream distributed to multiple fans, that they can then pack and take with them via RSS feed or other services, and that they can share with their networks via lists, hashtags or regular tweets.
If you also hook your discovery and sharing services to other social networks like Facebook and MySpace profiles, you reach an entire extra layer of people. Facebook makes this a bit harder lately. They've decided, for example, to ditch the iLike stream (which is unfortunate, it was one of my favorite Facebook apps). But people are finding ways around site restrictions to share the music they love with each other.
Think how you as a musician can up the ante by not only sharing your music and your favorite music to listen to by others using streaming services, but by purposely creating an old school music sampler to act as a coherent musical trailer for your upcoming album. Then release the sample into the wild for free download and make it easy to share. One of my favorite things I see happening on Twitter, specifically, are bands that will randomly send me a link to a free song set (usually two or three songs) via Direct Message a few months before the album comes out – I love that! It's like unwrapping a present in my DM box.
I'm continually watching for new ways to discover new music to buy, and so many others do the same. Make it easy for us to hear you by changing how you think about your music and the music of others. Emulate the movies a bit, and tease us with trailers – get us excited for your next release. What ways are you using to get fans excited for your new music?
Grooveshark is a new monetized music sharing application currently in private beta. Grooveshark has a simple business idea: everyone in music getting paid. Their lofty goal is to change the music industry, and after having used their site for a few days to try it out, I think they might just succeed.
Much of their potential for success replies on their main claim being true: that their service is legal because they can make sure the artists and labels get royalties using a P2P system to play, download and buy music. In their business model, the user whose playlist generates the sale also gets a cut. They outline it as the artist and label getting paid first, then the user, then Grooveshark. Now that's a music democracy!
So far Grooveshark gets two thumbs up from me. They've made setting up your profile on the Grooveshark site and uploading your music library with their helper application, Sharkbyte, quick and painless. It took only minutes to upload over 2000 songs, and even less to grab a profile picture and make my page more personal.
They offer each new signup 5 invitations, so I immediately got on the Twitterhorn to offer mine up and get some people in there playing with me. What good is social music if you don't have a starting point like your friends playlists, after all? I couldn't wait for them to log on so I could see what they are listening to. I also used the "discover" feature to make some new friends who like what I like.
We've reviewed social music applications here before (SimplifyMedia comes to mind). We've also given a thumbs down to other companies trying a similar business model, like LimeWire, mainly because those companies were a means to steal music before they tried to go legit. Grooveshark has the advantage of paying royalties right from the start, without the stigma associated with other P2P sales models that used to be P2P music gateways used for stealing songs.
I already like Grooveshark much more than SimplifyMedia. It isn't as invasive, for one thing. You have complete control over how much you share. You can share entire folders, or you can take a little more time before uploading with Sharkbyte to go through and set sharing song by song if you prefer. That's a nice level of control to have over who sees your music. There are a variety of reasons a user might want song by song share control, not the least of which is making sure no one knows they like to listen to Michael Bolton in the shower.
Grooveshark lets you listen to your own collection online, as long as Sharkbyte is turned on, another nice feature that I made use of in my local tavern over lunch yesterday. Someone had put on an entire album's worth of horrible music, so I just popped on my headphones and surfed over to Grooveshark to give it a try. It worked like a charm. As long as I have my laptop with me, there isn't really a reason to use the feature regularly, but if I still worked in an office I would use it every day to stream my music to my desk.
At first I was concerned about the bandwidth that Sharkbyte might use, but Grooveshark thought of that also. There is a toggle switch in Sharkbyte to control the bandwidth being used for downloads. It comes preset to 1000Kb, but you can change it to whatever you would like. I lowered mine – having Twhirl, Adium, FireFox, Thunderbird, Pownce and other bandwidth heavy applications open constantly means I have to be careful what kind of bandwidth draw is happening at all times.
You can create public or private playlists in Grooveshark. I tried this feature two ways. They offer your choice of drag and drop or check box interface. Th drag and drop works well, but on a small laptop screen the scrolling back and forth to see the destination window once I got further down my long playlist was annoying, so I moved to the check box interface. This was quite simple to use, and once you set up your playlist name you can select as many songs as you want to move into it at a time.
You can also create mixes and tag and rate songs. You aren't restricted to your own playlist either – you can grab songs from the playlists of others to put into your playlists and mixes, and you can rate and tag the songs of others. My main complaint about the tags at the moment is that they are limited to one word tags separated by commas. This means that tagging a song as a genre like Post Punk or New Wave is impossible unless you separate the words. I like comma delineated tag systems that allow for multi word options.
I've been using eMusic to get music from unsigned bands, and iTunes to get music from signed bands, but I can see Grooveshark holding its own against both. It offers a place for signed bands to share their songs, and welcomes unsigned acts as well. It's main competitor right now seems to be iLike, and I don't like the iLike interface as much. Also, Grooveshark's inclusion of the user in the pay circle is very appealing – I'd love to make some spare change from my addiction to music – it's one sure fire way to help me feed that addiction by buying more music.
There are a couple of glitches in the system right now (it wouldn't be a beta without bugs to work out). The most glaring one for me is the inability to delete a song in the Grooveshark profile window. Once Sharkbyte uploads it, it is there to stay, in spite of a nice red X showing in the window. I just couldn't get that to work for me. It's too bad, too. Now all of Grooveshark's community can hear me sound checking GarageBand to do a podcast with a friend at the height of a summer cold (so sue me, I forgot that file was in there).
Another glitch is hang time when creating a playlist. I wanted to do a bulk create, so I made a playlist, then I went to my master list and started using the check boxes to select songs for it. Every 50 songs or so (I have a large punk, alt and new wave collection) I kept getting hang time errors. I eventually stopped after a little over 400 songs in the play list because it was frustrating me. However, if you are listening to your music you can slide songs over to the PlayList as you listen, which does not give you the hang time error. I will probably finish the playlist later using that method.
The final glitch that got my attention are the songs as listed in the Grooveshark window. They occasionally seem to lose their identifier. Any song I bought online from eMusic, Amazon Unboxed or iTunes seems to have held onto its information, but songs I bought and uploaded from CDs are occasionally listed as "unknown artist" or "unknown album", or in a couple of cases just "???". That annoyed me, especially because I don't see a way to fix it. I'd be ok with it if I could go in to Grooveshark and fix the information, but I can't see a way to do that.
Grooveshark works on a combined credit and purchase system. As you use the service, you earn credits. You also get compensated for song sales generated by your play lists. If you want to purchase a song before you've been compensated or earned any credit from being active on the site, you can load credit yourself. The site takes all major credit cards and PayPal for song purchases. The test song I downloaded had the same quality as songs I find on eMusic.
Most important for the music lover on the go, the songs work with all music players and music programs. This means you can put them on your iPod, your Zune or whatever else you use, play them in iTunes or Windows Media Player or the player of your choice, and more. That kind of usability is essential.
I see Grooveshark sticking around as a preferred application. It looks nice, it works well, it is easy to use, and the team behind it seems eager to make it a success. There is a cross promotion going on right now that users can take advantage of as well. Grooveshark and Escape Media Group have $5 credits to hand out when users sign up. All you have to do is register for Grooveshark, then send an email to this address with your Grooveshark user name to get your credit (note: links since removed as promotion is over). Come play on Grooveshark with me, then let me know if you like it as much as I do in the comments.
Updated to add: The folks at Grooveshark have given me 26 invites. All I need is your email address – you can send me a request for an invite in the comments. No need to give your email address in your comment request – we get that in a secret form when you leave the comment. All you have to say is that you'd like an invite. First come, first served.
