At 101 Industries Ltd., we are dedicated to meeting the highest standards of safety on all of our projects, whether we're doing work for residential, commercial or industrial clients. As one of our core values, safety is a priority for everyone within our company. Learn more about who we are below, or contact us today to get started.
101 Industries Ltd. was founded in 1968 by Willie Meier as 101 Sheetmetal, Plumbing and Roofing Ltd. The name originated as a representation of the fact that 1968 marked 101 years after confederation.
Since 1968, we have grown to become one of the largest contractors in northwest British Columbia. The growth from a small residential heating and plumbing contractor in 1968 to what 101 Industries Ltd. is today was accomplished by recognizing our customers' needs. As we saw opportunities for diversification and improvement, we made the investments in our business required to allow us to grow successfully.
Equally important to recognizing and reaching for new markets is the company's philosophy to not give up a market in order to enter another. During our years of greatest growth, we have been able to not only maintain our existing markets, but we have continued to be the leaders in these fields. Even today, as 101 Industries Ltd. is now an industrial specialist, we are still the premier residential and commercial service and installation contractor in the area – the same place we started in 1968.
Our name was changed in 1995 to 101 Industries Ltd. It was decided that the highly descriptive original name of 101 Sheetmetal, Plumbing, and Roofing Ltd. did not adequately serve our business.
During the 1990's, management and ownership of 101 Industries Ltd. progressively shifted to include the company officers listed below:

Oracle promotes top channel execs
Oracle has promoted its top North America and Worldwide channel execs.
Rauline Ochs, the top North America channel exec for Oracle has been promoted to senior vice president from vice president. Ditto Doug Kennedy, Oracle's worldwide channel poobah. Both were vice presidents and are now senior vice presidents.
Ochs' news was posted to Oracle's Web site in early august. Kennedy's bio has yet to be updated.
Ochs is credited with implementing Oracle's All Partner Territory strategy in the U.S. Some partners are unclear as to how the roles are differentiated but also acknowledge that Oracle has made some progress in channel friendliness.
"Face it, most of it is due to Chuck [Charles Phillips, Oracle's president] but Rauline and Doug are tasked with executing his vision," said one long-time oracle reseller partner.
Ochs joined Oracle in the fall of 2003 after stints at BEA Systems and IBM before joining the database (and now apps) kingpin. Kennedy has spent 15 years at Oracle where he's headed field support service, and support account management for Oracle's biggest 100 U.S. customers.
Partners are watching Oracle closely as it parlays its $20 billion plus investment in Siebel, PeopleSoft and other business applications. The company traditionally splits sales model between technology (database and middleware) and applications.

It has been over three months since our last field trip! Between dealing with extreme pregnancy and now having a newborn going on field trips was the last thing on my mind. A mom from our co-op helped to organize a field trip to Fort Hunter Mansion and Park.
We started the day at the barn where the kids learned about Native Americans in this area. I learned a great deal about how they lived so I know the kids learned something too. Even Miles had a good time learning about wigwams and playing games that the Native American kids would have played. It was indoors and there were opportunities to touch and play with items. The kids one piece of information they took away was that there were no diapers. Native Americans would like a basket with cattail fluff and put a baby in there. They would carry that basket on their backs and when the baby peed and pooped, they were just take out the cattail fluff and put new fluff in. Of course this is what my kids would remember because it is about poop.
At the mansion the kids learned about the family that had built the mansion and some of the excavating that is going on around the house. We were able to see how people lived during the early 1800s and we saw the style of clothes. The kids learned that boys and girls would wear dresses and have long hair until about five years old because it was easier to potty train them that way. Also, pink was used for boys and light blue was used for girls. Interesting facts!
The kids also got to see what it was like to bathe before water lines, how to use a chamber pot, and they practiced pumping water out back. We had a good time, even when Oliver was crying. Miles was well behaved during the mansion tour and the older kids had a fun day of learning without the worksheets.

About Our Site
BeatingAddictions was formed to offer a unique reference point on how to treat and overcome an addiction.
At Beating Addictions, we understand the burdens caused by addiction. We also recognise the challenges faced by the families and friends of the addicted.
Whilst addictions vary enormously in type, severity and risk, they all have consequences. Our authors focus on providing you and your loved ones with concise, informative articles based on the most up-to-date research.
If you are concerned that you or someone you know might have an addiction, we can help you to determine the nature of that addiction. And, if you are a confirmed addict, our advice could help you to help you to assess, understand, and combat that addiction.
As you will see from the navigation panel (on the left-hand side of our homepage), our articles cover all sorts of addictions, from illegal drug abuse to sugar addiction. We also look at a range of behavioural addictions, such as addictions to exercise, and gambling. Perhaps most importantly, we do not treat any one addiction any more or less seriously than another.
Beating Addictions is intended to be a practical and dynamic site. With that in mind, we hope you'll take the time to visit our Readers Comments section, where you can leave suggestions about what you'd like to see on the site, and even share your experiences of addiction with our other readers.
Our concern was that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.
Our features and articles are written by experts - who have experience, or a particular interest in this area.
Our BackgroundBeatingAddictions was founded by John Rowlinson, the founder of PtS.
John, through PtS, is involved in a number of ventures including software and property companies. A percentage of revenue from these activities goes towards funding BeatingAddictions and a number of similar sites.

Birds are falling from the sky. Fish are floating belly up. The calendar has turned to a new year. If this doesn't make you want to pad your nest and take stock of your life, I'm not sure what will. New Year's resolutions? They're for the birds. I prefer to think of it as exploring life options. Which options will you exercise this year? Here are some of my suggestions:
Talk to people. Not only people you know, but everyone around you. Each person you meet has a story. A history. They have hopes and dreams. Remember that. Talk to yourself. I know I do. Sometimes I am the only one who will listen. It's comforting, in a bird-brained sort of way. Be kind. It doesn't matter if we are talking about animals, humans or birds. Being kind is one of the greatest things you can be. (Some say it's even better than being rich. If I ever get rich, I will let you know.) Be truthful and honest in all you do unless doing so would be hurtful to another person.
Today is the best you're going to get. It is your bird in the bush. Relish the moment; it will be gone tomorrow. Never underestimate the power of touch however slight or seemingly insignificant. A hug even a touch on the hand or shoulder can do wonders. If you have someone in your life who may go through his or her days touch-free, attempt to alter that. Make one lifestyle change just for you. Go to a movie. Learn how to knit. Read a good book. Take a long bath. Call a friend. Get a parakeet. I understand; you are busy. We all are. If you don't take time to do something for you, who will? See the glass as half full. While you're at it, make it half full of a crisp and fruity chardonnay.
Let your life be a little messy. I'm not talking about mud or dust bunnies; I'm talking pets and kids. They bring dirt and disorder into your household along with love and a bit of magic. Invite them in when and if you can. Don't be afraid to fly. We all have goals we keep hidden personal goals that push our comfort zones and ignite our adrenaline. There's something you've always wanted to do, but for one reason or other haven't. Now is the time to go out and soar. Aim for the clouds.
Love others. This doesn't need to be romantic love, although that certainly could be part of it. Demonstrate love in everything you say and do. This is, most often, a basic and simple gesture. A smile. A wave. Eye contact. A peck on the cheek. An acknowledgement. There is not enough love in this world. Let's work together to change that. Use it or lose it. Muscles. Brainpower. Manners. You name it. If you don't practice flying, you end up earth-bound. Live life to the fullest by utilizing your potential whenever possible. Birds are falling from the sky. That's undoubtedly bad news for the birds. But you know what they say about optimism one person's half empty vessel is my glass of wine. I believe I'll sip slowly and think about the different ways I can spread my wings this year. Oh, and if you do witness a bird falling from the sky, help the poor thing out. If it is dead, see that it gets a proper burial. Then go back to your warm bath. Or chardonnay. Or both. A little bird told me it's going to be a good year.

Whether you are an individual, a family, or a business, there are many things to consider when you relocate. As a business you will need to consider the work force, economic factors and the resources needed for your company. As an individual or family, Ashland's quality of life and active lifestyle may have great appeal for you. For instance, Ashland's park system provides a park within one quarter mile of each resident, plus an in-town golf course. Also there are many playgrounds for fun and sports, as well as organizations that offer activities for all ages. A well-used YMCA with an indoor pool and exercise classes attracts people wanting to remain fit. For winter-weather enthusiasts, there is Mt Ashland's ski and snowboarding area. In addition, there is easy access to hiking, road and mountain biking, water sports and fly fishing. All kinds of team sports are also available for children and adults alike. And the vibrant arts community in Ashland offers theatre, musical, and fine arts experiences for all ages. Ashland's many high-caliber restaurants attract residents and the local groceries and farmers markets provide healthy, organic foods, many of which are locally-sourced.

Despite decades of allegations, men like Bill Cosby and R&B singer R. Kelly have avoided serious consequences for their sexual misconduct — that is, until 2017's #MeToo awakening.
The big picture: For many of the men who were taken down by the movement, it was a long time coming. But women of color in particular have been fighting the #MeToo fight long before it gained international attention.

- Studies have shown that 27% of drilling projects are temporarily halted due to workers not able to reach the right people or get information to make decisions.
- Rigs cost up to $1m per day and temporary interruptions caused by delayed decision-making may account for up to 10 hours lost production per month per rig.
- There are fewer highly experienced "troubleshooters," who travel the world, helping to solve problems that threaten the viability of drilling projects.
ISN helps upstream oil and gas companies improve communication and collaboration with technology that empowers people to come together in many different places.
Mobility – wired and wireless networks, the ability for the user to keep working regardless of device
Presence – intelligence in the network, extended to multiple devices to identify status of the user
Policy – find me, follow me rules based on the user preference and work style
Video – rich media collaboration – for full visibility of the interaction
Consequently, drillers at the well-site are connected with geoscientists and engineers at base and all are enabled to work continuously across multiple platforms and devices, using instant messaging, screen sharing, web and video conferencing, and shared workspaces – on premises or in the cloud.
By adding intelligence to communications, we overcome the digital divide that exists between the rig and headquarters to:
- Reduced drilling downtime by improving decision making
- Connect the experts with well site problems and put knowledge at the point of activity
- Unite mobile and remote employees with the entire organisation
- Eliminate costly and unnecessary business travel
- Streamline voice, data, and video into one IP-based system that grows with the needs of the company
- Protect key information assets, even when accessed remotely
- Improve collaboration via HD conferencing tools
If you want to uncover more about unified communication and collaboration technologies, and the work we have undertaken for other E&P companies please contact us.

Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs O from USA
My Aug 2013 trip
On this trip, I visited Namibia & South Africa between 16-Aug-2013 and 28-Aug-2013 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Dear Maruska,
This is for you. You are sure an expert in what you do. I can't say enough as far as your wonderful, well planned itinerary for us.
The whole trip was beyond our expectations. South Africa and Namibia were terrific.
Perhaps the only thing I would have changed was the City Lodge at Johannesburg. The Intercontinental Hotel was closer, bigger rooms and have a better restaurant. On the other hand, we only stayed at the City Lodge for less than a day and it was easy enough for us to walk and have dinner at The Intercontinental Hotel.
Thanks a lot, Maruska! Let us know if you handle other trips aside from Africa.
It was surely a very memorable, fun trip for us.

The countdown is on til my first rehearsal for Pirates. I am so excited to be singing again soon.
I don't currently have any other employment while home in Boston, so I've developed a plan of productivity and self improvement. The pieces are as follows:
My dad had a good idea for a feature film. I am going to ignore the fact that I have not a clue what I'm doing, and try to write it while I'm home. Six weeks. Totally doable, right?
I am going to buy that video game that will teach me how to be a better guitarist. I will get better at guitar (and have all the endorphins associated with Xbox achievements. Hey, whatever works).
I am going to use my MIDI keyboard and fancy new USB mic and try and record things in my basement. This could be a disaster. Even so, it will likely be an educational experience.
I will continue to work out, probably with the help of my Kinect. (It was free, non-committal gym memberships are far from.) As I meet more and more New York actors, I find it comforting that so few are actually in that television weightclass (five pounds underweight, or fifty over). I've been making quite reasonable progress in terms of my fitness level, muscle tone, and figure. I have the beginnings of ab definition. Continuing progress during the holiday season will probably be difficult (mmm, pumpkin cheesecake), but totally worth it.
Lastly, I will continue my New York casting mailers from Boston. If anything, that should be easier, with more access to stationery and table space.

Los Angeles, CA, US
Wither and Wield explores the dynamic relationship between architecture, technology and humans. As buildings have the capacity to become efficient machines, able to perform or enhance every task of our body, the focus becomes what architecture can do for the mind. A body breaks down; potential emerges for an intimate and dynamic relationship between home and self. In creating a house for a body inflicted with multiple sclerosis, intelligent design creates a dwelling which assumes strategic functions of the body in order to maintain freedom of mind. Progression of the disease is both systematic and spontaneous; with unpredictable rates of change over a full life-span.
Architecture operates as a catalyst for communication; integrating body, mind and environment. A morphogenetic architecture; on the cusp of building and machine whose only inhabitant is one's mind and whose only limit is the imagination.
Imagine a home where the mind is the master. As the body decays, the architecture responds. The flat and generic becomes strategic and articulate. Architecture is the over-arching system which allows the human body to dwell within technology. As increasingly invasive technology is embedded into the home, Architecture has the inspired potential of mitigating the relationship between body and mind by embracing this technology, manipulating it to develop and grow as part of its occupant.

Some days more than others I just have to paint more freely and with much expression. More of a process and a mood. All part of my journey I guess. Also, I have to remind myself it is still good to explore and avoid becoming stagnant. One of the reasons I love the small daily works.

Blue Beetle & Ravager to Get 'Co-Features' in DC Titles
I'm squeeing like a fanboy. Ravager in solo tales!
From Newsarama: " In June, both Teen Titans and Booster Gold (prior to the launch of Doom Patrol, which debuts later in the summer) will gain their own co-features: Ravager and Blue Beetle, respectively. The co-features will be presented in pages added in addition to the regular series' stories."
" According to DiDio, the Blue Beetle and Ravage stories will pick up on threads from the recently canceled Blue Beetle series, as well as Ravager's storyline in Terror Titans, and will continue to move the characters in their own directions.
"We've listened to things that people are saying, and there are a lot of well-loved characters out there that for whatever reason can't support a series at this time," DiDio said. "This approach, we feel, gives them a chance to shine and attract new readers and fans as well, and more importantly, add value to our books as well."
The move is, as DiDio pointed out, a return of sorts for DC, as he pointed back to his own days of a fan when Firestorm appeared as a second feature in the ongoing Flash series. Those stories, DiDio said, are still fondly remembered by fans today, and also still have ramifications decades down the road."

There aren't that many spoilers, and they're not that big, but they're still there, lurking in this review, and ready to jump on you while you scream. Or not, because they're just words, but saying "oh no, you'll read something bad", just didn't sound dramatic enough.)
Stephenie Meyer, for those of you who don't know (which is probably a minuscule proportion of you) is the author of the massively popular twilight saga (twilight, new moon, eclipse, breaking dawn). This is her new novel (well, newest. It was published in 2008). A "science fiction for people who don't like science fiction". It isn't science fiction, it's romance. You could class it in science fiction as there are aliens that climb into your body and control your mind, but that's not what the plot revolves around. It's really all about the weird love triangle/square – as Wanda and Melanie are one person and two people at the same time – and how they deal with the situation.
And it's actually really good. Not absolutely epic and amazing, but it's really interesting and a great read, especially after having low expectations from twilight (which I don't hate, but I don't love either. We'll cover that in another review).
Wanderer (Wanda) is a soul: an alien that will take over human's bodies and wipe out their consciousness. But Melanie, Wanderer's host, will not fade away. She bombards Wanderer with images of Jared, the man she loves, and together they journey out, searching for the man and a rebelling group of surviving humans, who hate the souls.
Some Aspects of the Characters…
…could be ridiculously annoying. For example, the strangely possessive and slightly crazy way that Jared and Ian were both in love with Wanda/Melanie. I understand the whole "love makes you do crazy things" situation, but the characters were both just so stereotypical for YA fiction. You know, the type of love that you think might be bordering on emotional abuse and stalker-like obsession. In a way, they reminded me of Edward and Jacob obsessing over Bella in that weird creepy way, even though they both barely knew her. But again, that's for another time…
Let's start will Ian.
When Ian was all madly possessive over Wanda (when he didn't let anyone else hold her jar-thing when they were looking for a new body for her, or when he was carrying her and running and shouting at her when she planned on dying), I know it's meant to be sweet, and on weird some level it is, but it is also – admittedly – creepy. I found it scary in a way, how possessive he was of her. Though I do like Ian and his character overall. I loved his development throughout the book, from hating Wanda because she was different and trying to strangle her, to being forced not to kill her by Jeb, and then protecting her from Kyle and Jared when she was nearly attacked. It was a lot more interesting to read about a likeable character that is still flawed. Though I do feel that he did become a bit too perfect near the end, though that's only a tiny problem that I can deal with.
I do have a bit of a problem with Jared. I understand that he's so in love with Melanie, so he really hates Wanda, but I did not like him. He beat up a poor girl/alien who turned her back on her entire species and risked her life for a man she didn't even know and another human girl she hated. And even if he didn't know that, we the readers did, so when he punches her it's like a neon sign flashed over his head saying "BULLY", "ENEMY", or some other bad word that I shouldn't use. (We have to keep it PG here at Discombobulated Books.) And Melanie does say that it's only because Jared's so in love that he's doing these stupid things, but it really doesn't help that Melanie becomes SO FREAKING ANNOYING whenever Jared is around. Melanie, on her own, is a great character. She's strong, loyal, funny but also stubborn and sometimes blinded by her determination. Her and Wanda's conversations are interesting to read. But when Jared is there this is what her thoughts are. All the time. Seriously.
"Jared's here, Jared's alive, Jared's here. She was incoherent, chanting the words like they were the lyrics to a song." – The Host, pg 130.
Which is not fun to read. Good for her, for finding the love of her life. And that doesn't seem to bad, except this goes on over and over and over again for the next large portion of the book. She's so illogical and in love that she seems to become such a weak character. There's probably a message in there about how love changes you and stuff, but it's like listening to a five year old who wants candy.
The Romance was SO MUSHY
But it wasn't that bad comparatively to other YA Fiction. But yes, very mushy.
Of course, there was also one little thing they mentioned when they were deciding what to do with Wanda/Melanie.
There's this bit where they talk about how it's "Jared's property" or "Jared's body" or something. Basically saying, Jared's her boyfriend so she is his property. And then Jamie comes along and is like "No wait! I get a choice too!" Because he's her little brother, so I guess she's his property as well. And maybe I'm reading to far into it, but I thought it seemed wrong. I understand that they should have more of a say than others but did Jeb really have to say something along the lines of "This body belongs to you, Jared. You get to decide whether we slaughter her or welcome her with bread and cupcakes." (paraphrased, of course).
No one owns Melanie. No one has a right over her body just because she's dating them or related to them. She's not anyone's property, and saying that they have a right over her is stupid.
Oh, and Stephenie Meyer's writing style.
It's not that it bothers me enough to not read it, it's just that her descriptions are so long-winded and abundant. It seems like each piece of dialogue has at least a sentence of lengthy description with it, and there are huge sections of description or mental contemplation about life. It's fine to read through, but sometimes I found myself skimming through all the description by accident, and having to go back and reread it.
In general, good plot, good pacing and really good character development.
None of them really stood out to me, but none of them fell short. Apart from some of the problems I had with some of the main characters, the rest were all good. I loved Jeb; I thought he was such a likeable and easy-to-relate-to character. I did also like Wanda and Melanie (when she wasn't having her lovey-dovey Jared phases), they both had flaws (which is nice to see that an author is making an effort not to have a perfect character) and they're developing relationship – from hating each other to basically becoming sisters – was great to see.
Now, to be honest, this isn't a very quotable book, by my standards. Apart from all the very gooey love proclamations, there isn't much else. But here my favourite parts are. All t0 do with Kyle, for some reason, probably because only the vaguely funny things happen with him. The rest is all supposed to be intense and romantic and dramatic and stuff.
- "'Wanda?' Kyle said.
'I'm sorry.'
'Um . . . why?'
'For trying to kill you,' he said casually. 'Guess I was wrong.'
Ian gasped. 'Please tell me you have some kind of recording device available, Doc.' "
- "Jared lunged forward, away from me. With a loud smacking sound, his fist hit Kyle's face.
Kyle's eyes rolled back in his head, and his mouth fell slack.
The room was very quiet for a few seconds.
'Um,' Doc said in a mild voice, 'medically speaking, I'm not sure that was the most helpful thing for his condition.'
'But I feel better,' Jared answered, sullen.
Doc smiled the tiniest smile. 'Well, maybe a few more minutes of unconsciousness won't kill him.'

Investment firm, UBS, believes that the upcoming iWatch from Apple is going to be a hit, reaching sales similar to the iPad. UBS predicts that the wearable will retail for $300 and sell 21 million pieces in 2015, and 36 million in 2016.
Overall, the iWatch is expected to add significant growth to the shares of Apple.
"We are more confident that Apple will be introducing the iWatch before the holiday season following WWDC's introduction of HealthKit, recent healthcare hirings, the acquisition of LuxVue Technology, and positive comments from Eddy Cue at the Re/Code Conference," he wrote.
In terms of dollars, UBS also thinks that the iWatch will add $6.5 billion in revenue to Apple's bottom line in 2015, and $11 billion in 2016. The firm also thinks that the iWatch will sell even better than the iPad, initially.
"We expect iWatch sales to roughly track iPad unit sales similar penetration rates would mean higher sales," he said. "iWatch might do better because the customer base is larger than when iPad launched and the ASP might be less. On the other hand, iWatch is the first product to be worn, which might not appeal to all users."
There's been some predictions for a while that Apple would eventually sell wearable devices and it looks like the Cupertino-based tech company is primed to have a successful launch with their upcoming iWatch.
is this WATER proof?
WTF.. Maybe you don't have money to buy it..!!
The bloated or inflated sales figures happen because people do not think before investing. They simply follow the iCrap herd and repent later with bulky useless instruments(so called gadgets).

The well-prepared test taker, just like the well-coached basketball team, should be best prepared for the most likely outcome. A well-coached basketball team, like, say the Warriors of the Golden State, should have been exceedingly well-prepared for the most likely outcome playing the Rockets of Houston last night.
The Typical Argument Types Typically Go Wrong on the LSAT
Describe questions (questions that ask of an argument's "method of reasoning" or how the argument "proceeds") have kind of a funny place on the LSAT. On the one hand, they're not terribly common. You might see a couple on test day, or you might just as easily not see any at all. But the skill they test, describing reasoning with the subject matter abstracted out, is important to a lot of things on the LSAT.

Design South performed the design and construction administration (pro bono) of a "pocket park" in downtown Anderson to display a 1911 Westinghouse generator from Portman Shoals Power Plant. Although now submerged below Lake Hartwell, Portman Shoals was the site of the first long distance transmission of electric power in the South causing Anderson to be nicknamed "The Electric City".
Located at a major street intersection, the landscaped pedestrian park is fully accessible and provides views of the generator to both downtown pedestrians and motorists as well. The massive 13-foot diameter, 50,000-pound "big wheel" is an eye catching salute to the rise of the new industrial South that emerged after the Civil War and to a significant milestone in Anderson's history. The project was entirely funded by a local philanthropic group that seeks to add art and interest to downtown Anderson.

Diagnosis of botulism in two teenaged sisters in Montreal led to the identification of 36 previously unrecognized cases of type B botulism in persons who had eaten at a restaurant in Vancouver, British Columbia, during the preceding 6 weeks. A case-control study implicated a new vehicle for botulism, commercial chopped garlic in soybean oil (P < 10-4). Relatively mild and slowly progressive illness, dispersion of patients over at least eight provinces and states in three countries, and a previously unsuspected vehicle had contributed to prolonged misdiagnoses, including myasthenia gravis (six patients), psychiatric disorders (four), stroke (three), and others. Ethnic background influenced severity of illness: 60% of Chinese patients but only 4% of others needed mechanical ventilation (P < 10-3). Trypsinization of serum was needed to show toxemia in one patient. Electromyography results with high-frequency repetitive stimulation corroborated the diagnosis of botulism up to 2 months after onset. Although botulism is a life-threatening disease, misdiagnosis may be common and large outbreaks can escape recognition completely.

Many local Artists were recently recognized at PRIZM Creative Community's large annual exhibition named Art-A-Fair. PRIZM is a local non-profit organization completely run by volunteer hours and no paid staff. Once a year PRIZM encourages all its artists to submit their "personal best" into a juried exhibition. This year seventy works of art by Twenty-nine artists were accepted for the exhibition through a pre-jury process. The perjury judge was Lynne Barefoot local artist and art instructor. This years event was hosted by the Walter E. Terhune Gallery at Owens Community College. Jim Havens an accomplished Sculptor and Dr. Katerina Rüedi Ray, Director of the School of Art at Bowling Green State University served as judges of the accepted pieces.

Hello, Jennifer,
Where and when is the fund raiser? I may be interested. I recently won several awards at the Turhune Gallery including People's Award, and have many watercolors that might be available.

Video and Web conferencing is not anymore another thing among us particularly young people who are attached to talking on the web with different companions far and wide. Projects, for example, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger are a few cases of those visiting apparatuses utilized by them.
Contrasted with when type of conferencing was first brought into the market, the cost was high and not every person could manage the cost of it. Today be that as it may, webcams cost as low as $13 and the greater part of them are furnished with worked in receivers for sound too. This makes it such a great amount of less demanding for a person to set up his own particular technique for internet conferencing at home or in the workplace.
Why is this type of conferencing so prevalent? Well for a certain something, it is significantly more intuitive and fun contrasted with visiting and email for the most part since it offers video and sound to its clients. Clients who convey by means of web conferencing can see the other party eye to eye and additionally hear them talk. At the end of the day, it is much the same as any typical discussion you do only that now it's on the web. With this type of conferencing, it likewise gives relatives a chance to stay in contact less demanding as it should be possible anyplace and whenever. A relative could simply switch on the webcam and play out a gathering with anybody he or she needs in a minor couple of moments. It truly is that basic.
Fundamental type of conferencing more often than not underpins up to two people. However there are likewise web gatherings that can bolster more than two gatherings in the meantime. Hence, at least three people can really do a type of conferencing at the same time. People will have the capacity to see the characteristics of the different gatherings they are speaking with on their screen and in addition hear their voice. This element demonstrates exceptionally helpful for corporate gatherings whereby more than two individuals are typically included.
A standout amongst the most vital variables for a decent web conferencing would be a steady web line. This type of conferencing does not for the most part take up a great deal of transmission capacity but rather for web gatherings that include many people, the data transmission utilization could somewhat increment. In this manner to maintain a strategic distance from any slack, a great web association ought to dependably be utilized.
The best piece of holding a meeting by means of the web is however would be the way that it is in reality free. All you require is a webcam and the best possible programming and a meeting should be possible in an occurrence. Not at all like long separation telephone calls that expect you to purchase IDD cards, type of conferencing really cost nothing by any stretch of the imagination. The main costs you need to tolerate with would be the webcam and your web charge. Obviously, regardless you require a PC for a gathering of this sort to work.
This type of conferencing has certainly changed the way how everybody imparts on the web. Individuals from around the globe would now be able to meet eye to eye and have easygoing discussions as though they were sitting in a bistro or eatery. In any case, the best piece of web conferencing would be not leaving your home but having the capacity to speak with the outside world. This absolutely changes the cliché thought of the young person that secures himself his stay with his PC and isn't in contact with the outside world.

Little Nightmares gets a new trailer and final release date
Last year we here at That VideoGame Blog wrote up our thoughts of Little Nightmares when it was announced. In it we discussed some of the major components and particularly chilling themes of the game. That article can be read right over here.
Recently Bandai Namco released some fresh new details about the little horror title in a new trailer titled The Nine Deaths of Six.
In the latest trailer, we see some more of the atmospheric horror that we've come to expect of the game by this point as well as some key gameplay elements at work; such as the hide and sneak stealth, some platforming, and a mysterious all new character called The Janitor.
According to Bandai Namco those who pre-order Little Nightmares digitally will receive instant access to The Scarecrow Sack and the Upside-down Teapot Masks that will assist you in getting through as stealthy as possible. PS4 and PC users get an extra little bonus in the form of a digital version of the soundtrack and an exclusive PS4 theme or PC wallpaper.
A limited edition physical release, called The Six Edition, is available for preorder at most videogame retailers and includes a 10cm figurine in a themed cage box as well as the original soundtrack, an exclusive poster and a sticker board.
Little Nightmares will be available April 28th on the Playstation 4, the Xbox One, and PC.

Red, a new pokemon trainer, sets out on a journey to help Professor Oak complete the pokedex. But he's not alone. His rival, Blue, is out there for the same reason and he's not an easy opponent to beat.
Oddly, this little series has generally more violence than the first TV series. In only four episodes we see pokemon truly tackling and biting each other and the prospect of pokemon actually dying is addressed (to some extent). It's nowhere near FMA levels, but it's a tad darker than the Indigo League, that's for sure.
Pretty clean overall here. Although the violence is higher, the language is like the first show. Pretty nonexistent.
Just like the language, this section really doesn't have much to report. In fact, there's really nothing at all to report here. A nice break, if you ask me.
If the idea of ghosts isn't your thing, it's best to skip this little series. An actual ghost of a pokemon is heavily featured in one episode (and I don't mean ghost "type" pokemon. I mean a pokemon that died and became a ghost. Which, when thought about too much, raises some disturbing questions about "ghost" types…).
Personal impression:
As someone who has never actually played the classic Pokemon console games before (I did play the TCG so lay off), I probably missed more than a few references to the original stories/missions. That said, I was surprised by how many in-jokes I did understand. Though likely that is due to how heavily internet memes feature Pokemon game jokes. Regardless, it was an interesting take. There was enough of the old series to make it familiar and yet plenty of new tones and elements to feel quite different. The music is decent, not quite as good as the first, but solid enough. The art is, understandably, better. Smoother and with far more detail. The only real downside? With only four episodes this series speeds by at an intense and pretty ridiculous pace. The last episode is especially rough and rushed. All in all, it's far more of an ode to older fans of the games than it is a ply to bring in new fans.

Blue cloth boards with green and navy blue ink illustrations and lettering to front, spine. In original illustrated dust jacket. Unclipped. Jacket lightly toned at spine and corners of interior flaps, small chips from spine ends. Interior endpapers with toning at corners corresponding with jacket flaps. Overall a sound, clean, and bright copy, unmarked, in an attractive, well preserved dust jacket. Near fine / very good +. Item #14829
A lovely copy of this high point in nautical literature. Slocum's first-person account of the first solo circumnavigation of the globe. Though the copyright page provides dates of 1899 and 1900, the publisher's list to the rear jacket panel lists ten titles, each printed in 1927, and the volume's size is slightly smaller than the first Century printing (7.5" x 4.75" approximately). Likely a ca.1927 printing, thus. Given the copyright date of 1900, later printings are often erroneously described and offered as the first edition. Still, an early and handsome copy of this classic narrative. Scarce in jacket. 294pp.

Marketing yourself – some tips from one translator to another
Knowing how and where to market yourself as a translator isn't entirely easy. As part of my work placement with Semantix, I was involved in recruiting new translators for various assignments. This gave me a good insight into what translation agencies look for and what they want to know about us as translators. And so, as one translator to another, I would like to share some tips for attracting the interest of potential customers and being chosen for assignments. There are several things that it's important for translators to think about.
Make yourself searchable
You can register with one or more of the various translation portals – it never hurts to be searchable in a database. Some of the biggest translator portals are:
- ProZ: http://www.proz.com/
- Translators Café: http://www.translatorscafe.com/
- Translators Base: https://www.translatorsbase.com/
When we at Semantix are looking for translators into the Nordic languages, we often look here:
- SFÖ – The Swedish Association of Professional Translators
- Kammarkollegiet (authorised translators in Sweden)
- Translatørportalen (Government authorised translators in Norway)
- SKTL – The Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters
Gain specialist expertise
Another tip for attracting a potential customer's interest is to gain specialist expertise. Expertise within one or more subject areas is an advantage, but be honest about your knowledge. Having too many specialist areas doesn't look good, as quality is more important than quantity.
Update your CV
Always have a good CV ready to send to customers when they ask for a copy. Ensure that your CV is in English and includes references, and that you have letters of recommendation, degree certificates and other relevant documentation readily available. If you have previous translation experience, it's worth mentioning which types of text you've translated and roughly how many words you've translated within different subject areas. Remember to include clear contact details so you can be reached easily. Other than this, your CV should also include information about:
- your native language and the languages you translate from
- your education
- your professional experience (other than translation work)
- CAT tools you can use, such as Trados Studio 2014, Across or Memsource.
Be professional
As a translator, it's important to act in a professional manner and to respond quickly when contacted by customers. If you leave a potential customer waiting for an answer, there's a risk that you will come across as unprofessional or that you don't have time for new customers. You should also be clear about your prices so that potential customers know whether they are compatible with their budget.
One more tip is always to read through the source text or sample text from a customer before accepting an assignment. It is important to ensure that you are happy with the content and are able to work with the file format. Accepting an assignment and then changing your mind never looks good. And of course, my final piece of advice is always to meet the deadline!

1. Give people a reason to link to you (articles on your own blog for instance)
2. Make links yourself (through articles, forums, directories etc).
Personally, I'm having more luck generating links by adding content to my sites other than writing articles for other sites - although this can be useful in some cases. I've written one or two articles and sat back and watched some other site get all my traffic (ok I had the other site but that's not the point)
You need to remember people will link to you for 100 different reasons you might not be immediately aware if your site has a lot of unique content about your niche.
Write an article on your site and try and get a big boy website to link to it for some reason to deliver PR and traffic. If you're blogging about it and joining in forums on the niche you're virtually guaranteed of some referrals.
You might want to do a search on the boards for link development. ... It can be a trying process, but you may have to start knocking on one door after another dealing with webmasters individually to try and get links added on their site to yours.
You said:
I have been trying to get links to our site but there just are not many sites out there that have a reason to link to us
Maybe other sites won't link to yours because you are not giving them anything in return? I suspect some folks here are about to disagree with me so "shields up!" ...
ok here we go.. One of the safest time tested methods to increase traffic and yes, rankings/pagerank (although I would suggest you forget completely about pagerank and focus more on quality factors) is to LINK EXCHANGE with other relevant quality sites. Sites are more likely to link to yours if they can get a return link back from your site.
Link exchange (aka reciprocal linking) has been around pre-Google.. webmasters have exchange links since Tim Berners Lee invented the WWW. Link exchange will always exist as long as the web exists.
However, do not link exchange with low quality sites.. do not link exchange with sites totally irrelevant to yours.
Google says to have relevant sites link to yours (inbound links) .. Google says to make sure your site is "well connected" (outbound links). Those are not my words.. these suggestions can be found in Google's webmaster guidelines which were updated in recent months.
If you manage link exchange with software, make sure it's EDITOR BASED. Avoid services that make guarantees on making links or link you in high volume to sites you have not scrutinized with your own editorial discretion.
Folks who disagree with my suggestion will disagree because they have seen link exchange networks hurt their clients in the past.. those link exchange networks were mostly full duplex networks that afford no editorial discretion on making links.
If you will use the search engines to find quality sites that also have links pages (google keyword + add link or suggest link), you will find what I call "low hanging fruit".
However, keep in mind that webmasters won't link to a junky looking site.. that means your site should offer robust unique content that cannot be found elsewhere on the web. Hire a copywriter if necessary.
Links + quality content = success!
For those of you who are anti-link exchange, keep your flames er, I mean comments cordial and respectful.
Google says to have relevant sites link to yours (inbound links) .. Google says to make sure your site is "well connected" (outbound links). Those are not my words.. these suggestions can be found in Google's webmaster guidelines which were updated in recent months.
This is what Google says, but I believe you are connecting the two unnecessarily into one method that justifies reciprocal exchanges between websites.
Google is stating that it is beneficial to link your site out to quality sites and recieve quality links. Google is not saying to use reciprocal linking as a "method" to achieving this.
Google is not saying to use reciprocal linking as a "method" to achieving this.
Google has also never said "do not link exchange".
Google engineers realize link exchange pre-dates Google and that many webmasters will not link to a site if they cannot get a return link back. Same rule applies to most brick and mortar fortune 500's. You see auto makers promoting the satellite radio products they are installing and you see the satellite radio products promoting auto makers. You will see major cola manufacturers promoting the fast food restaurants that serve their product and vice versa.. its the same marketing method, only for the web. Don't beat up link exchange because some have abused it.
What the search engines do not want you doing is participating in full duplex networks that force you to link to sites in high volume without editorial discretion.
There is a huge difference between low volume editor based link exchange and high volume irrelevant link exchange. Lumping the two together misinforms those who are new at this.
It seem like Google is moving more and more towards rewarding sites that rank well in lots of terms related to the main keyword with ever increasing rank. So if you are trying to hard for that one word, you are probably keeping yourself from getting all that wonderful related traffic, and at the same time sabotaging your own success with that main keyword.
I'll give you an example. A site I started 5 years ago has a very obvious main keyword in its domain. I never bothered trying for that keyword, Google reports 28 million pages with that term, and a lot of huge players fight for it. We started off, and spent the first years several hundred places down the list, but it didn't matter because we were getting lots of traffic from the 40,000 terms that we did rank on.
Then last summer, I noticed that search term showing up in the top 40 terms for referrals. In January we were above the fold on the front page the whole month. For much of the month we had an indented double entry above the fold.
I never did anything to improve that rank for that term. I believe it is our long term ranking for related terms that did it..
Do you want to guess how much traffic we got from that front page ranking? 397 referrals. There were 7382 referrals that included that word in some combination, and less than 5% were that word alone. It accounted for 0.3% of our total search engine referral traffic.
The original question was "what to do next ti increase page rank in google". Developing traffic through link exchange is one of many time tested methods that just so happens to affect ranking positively when done correctly and with relevance for the end user.
By submit your sitemap to Google Webmaster, you can assure that all the pages in your sitemap will be crawl by google.
Just my 2 cents opinion..
I made own website in autumn... And I did (and I'm doing now) bottom things. At first my new site had PR0 and no one page in GOOGLE index... But in 2-3 month it had PR3 and all pages in GOOGLE index. And now I have more and more GOOGLE traffic on it...
1) Your site must consists of COMPLETELY UNIQUE and USEFUL FOR SITE-VISITORS CONTENT! It's one of the most important rules...
2) Link-building, viral-marketing... Link popularity is very important...
3) Create UNIQUE titles, descriptions for each page of Your site.
4) Routinely update Your site with new, actual and useful for a visitor content
5) Create sitemap.xml There are a lot of plugins for different CMS that automatically create necessary sitemap-file... So, you can use online services for it.
6) Make Your site with web-standards
7) SEO-Copywriting...
Use it and You'll be glad!
It seems like Google is moving more and more towards rewarding sites that rank well in lots of terms related to the main keyword with ever increasing rank.
This is logical. Depth is a sign of quality or value, which should be rewarded.
So if you are trying to hard for that one word, you are probably keeping yourself from getting all that wonderful related traffic, and at the same time sabotaging your own success with that main keyword.
This is true. And if you ever look up the number of searches by key phrases per month, several choice phrases can add up to the one big keyword.
as for focusing on one key word too much...
the guild hosting keyword is just the one I feel I need to work on
we are moving up pretty well in the others.
like wow guild hosting, guild website. etc
I am gonna try the sitemap.xml
and the direct link exhange with webmasts and more original content.
I am open to any additional ideas you have
It is not something to build.
Keywords though are the last bastion; the ranking which you master alone.

Running Program for the Richland RunFest Half Marathon
Posted September 7, 2017 @ 3:17pm — by EricGreager
Larry Kurz will be setting up and directing a running program to get runners of all abilities (especially beginners) ready for the half-marathon at the Richland RunFest. The program will consist of Saturday group runs and then weekday runs where the participants are on their own (and can certainly join up to run together). The rest of this note is from Larry: Please share this with friends that are interested in beginning a running program. We will start training for the Richland Runfest half marathon the first week of October. The half marathon will be held on February 24. This will give beginners plenty of time to get ready. The training program is free to everyone. You can even join us if you are planning on doing a different event.
1. Running is cheap. You only need a good pair of shoes.
2. Many people gain about 5 pounds during the holidays. Participating in the running group will burn about 13 pounds. Great way to keep weight in check!
4. It is so much fun getting outside during the winter and get a workout in.
5. Participating in a group helps encourage commitment. We all need an accountability partner sometimes.
6. People feel a lot safer running in a group environment.
Over the next week or so we will be posting more information on the 3RRR Facebook Page and on the 3RRR calendar. Until then encourage your friends, family and co-workers to consider joining us.

Brian Conrad is a math professor at Stanford and was one of the participants at the Oxford workshop on Mochizuki's work on the ABC Conjecture. He is an expert in arithmetic geometry, a subfield of number theory which provides geometric formulations of the ABC Conjecture (the viewpoint studied in Mochizuki's work).
Since he was asked by a variety of people for his thoughts about the workshop, Brian wrote the following summary. He hopes that a non-specialist may also learn something from these notes concerning the present situation. Forthcoming articles in Nature and Quanta on the workshop will be addressed at the general public. This writeup has the following structure:
- Background
- What has delayed wider understanding of the ideas?
- What is Inter-universal Teichmuller Theory (IUTT = IUT)?
- What happened at the conference?
- Audience frustration
- Concluding thoughts
- Technical appendix
1. Background
The ABC Conjecture is one of the outstanding conjectures in number…

Care Centres
Many people avoid going to shelters because they find it too confronting – the amount of animals available can be overwhelming and many people feel bad for not being able to adopt them all! Providing an alternative environment, our Care Centres are relaxed places to meet RSPCA animals available for adoption.
Not to be confused with a pet shop, the RSPCA Care Centres at both Tuggerah and Rouse Hill are an extension of our shelter network, and all animals come desexed, vaccinated, wormed, registered for life and vet checked. Our Rouse Hill facility also has an outpatient vet clinic. See for yourself and make an RSPCA Care Centre your next stop for all your pet's needs.

Since the late 1990s, thousands of women have fallen victim to vaginal mesh and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) side effects, prompting them to file transvaginal mesh lawsuits. If you experienced vaginal mesh erosion, infection, urinary problems or recurrence of stress urinary incontinence, you may be eligible to file a vaginal mesh lawsuit seeking compensation for lost wages and medical expenses as well as any pain and suffering you may have been caused.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a condition classified by an involuntary leakage of urine caused by damage to the pelvic floor support muscles, usually after childbirth. Coughing, sneezing and lifting are a few activities that may release small amounts of urine in women who suffer from this condition.
Vaginal Mesh and Stress Urinary Incontinence Side Effects
Vaginal mesh and stress urinary incontinence side effects arise after the material is surgically stitched into a woman's vaginal wall to lend support to her pelvic floor muscles. As a result, a woman may sustain the following injuries:
- pain
- mesh erosion
- infection
- urinary problems
- pain during intercourse
- recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and/or stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
In many cases, treating these injuries has resulted in the patient having to undergo revision surgeries to remove the implant, which may not ever be done safely.
Thousands of Vaginal Mesh Lawsuits Now Pending in U.S. Courts
The link between vaginal mesh and stress urinary incontinence has resulted in thousands of women filing vaginal mesh lawsuits against manufacturers American Medical Systems, C.R. Bard Inc., Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, Ethicon and Boston Scientific Corp.
An estimated 8,000 vaginal mesh lawsuits are currently pending in multidistrict litigations (MDL) underway in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
How to File a Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit
If you were injured by vaginal mesh, please contact your doctor immediately for treatment. Should you choose to pursue a vaginal mesh lawsuit, you need to keep track of your medical appointments and time absent from work, as well as request a copy of your medical records. Bernstein Liebhard LLP is currently offering free legal consultations to transvaginal mesh victims. To learn more, contact a vaginal mesh lawyer at our firm by calling 1-(888)-217-3033 or submitting the free case evaluation form on this page.

Ended up doing something a bit different, I hope you approve.
Also, a new print approaches! Check it out here.
Just to be clear, that worm is actually a giant python or a giant boa constrictor, right?
If so, clever idea!
looks like it is, it has fangs.
When he wants to feel fancy, he uses a Pinoccio lure.
Good one!
Can barely imagine what he uses for fly fishing!
I approve! It's nice to see something mythical that's not "wood carve" or whatever that tag was, even though that was more for the nautical theme… Then again, this is nautical too? I'm still amused!
Wow, nice one. Of course we approve.
