Stem cells are common to all epithelial systems because they have two fundamental properties (30). First, stem cells have the ability to produce more stem cells (to maintain a constant number of these cells). Second, stem cells can produce differentiated progeny; this property of spermatogenetic stem cells was described in the Spermatogonia and Mitosis section. The former capability represents stem cell renewal.
Stem cell renewal is the mechanism that ensures that remarkably large numbers of spermatozoa are produced by a relatively small number of stem cells throughout the adult primate's life. Whether each stem cell produces one stem cell and one differentiated cell, asymmetrical mitosis, or one stem cell produces two stem cells while another adjacent stem cell produces two daughter cells, symmetrical mitosis, is not known for most epithelia (31,32). As discussed later, evidence relating to this intriguing issue is presented that suggests that the renewing stem cells of some primates, if not all, divide symmetrically.
Historically, two fundamentally different models of stem cell renewal during mammalian spermatogenesis were postulated from the results of studies performed in rodents (32). A review of the evidence supporting each model in rodents is necessary, because the original scheme of stem cell renewal has been generally accepted to occur in primates and the original scheme postulated from results in rodents has been replaced by the newer scheme. Moreover, the mechanism of stem cell renewal that is widely accepted in primates has recently been challenged by the notion that the newer model may be applicable to primates (32).
Clermont and colleagues (33), using mophometric analysis of histological sections and incorporation of tritiated thymidine during the DNA synthetic phase of the cell cycle, identified four morphologically distinct type A spermatogonia. These spermatogonia, called A1-A4, were distinguishable from each other by the increase of heterochromatin in the nuclei of spermatogonia of each succeeding generation. These workers determined that each type Ai spermatogonium divided mitotically and theoretically produced two type A2 spermatogonia. In turn, each type A2 spermatogonium divided and potentially produced two type A3 spermatogonia. Each type A3 spermatogonium, in turn, divided, and produced two type A4 spermatogonia. With the eventual appearance of type A4 a departure from this straightforward system of spermatogonial proliferation was postulated. The type A4 spermatogonia divided and produced either the differentiated intermediate type spermatogonia or the rather undifferentiated type Ai spermato-gonia. In other words, the most differentiated of the four generations of type A spermatogonia, A4 cells, produced progeny that were either more differentiated or the least differentiated type A spermatogonia. Because of this potential to produce undifferentiated spermatogonia, all four generations of type A spermatogonia were considered renewing stem cells. This singular state of affairs was further complicated.
Indeed, another type A spermatogonia population was also described (33). These type A spermatogonia were morphologically less differentiated than any of the other four type A spermatogonia and did not incorporate the labeled nucleotide that indicated a cell was preparing for mitosis. Furthermore, the number of these cells in the seminiferous epithelium did not change. Therefore, these rather undifferentiated type A sper-matogonia were not mitotically active but were quiescent. These stem spermatogonia were designated type A0 spermatogonia and postulated to represent stem cells held in reserve that would repopulate the seminiferous epithelium only when all more mature germ cells were destroyed by some catastrophe. The A0 spermatogonia were postulated to divide mitotically and produce type Ai spermatogonia until the seminiferous epithelium was reestablished. It was posited that one or all type A1-4 spermatogonia produced a factor, or factors, that normally held the A0 stem cells in a quiescent state (34). However, the search for this factor was not fruitful (35-38).
The second scheme of stem cell renewal was posited by Huckins (39,40), based on studies of rodent testes. A technique for isolating, fixing, and mounting long segments of seminiferous tubules for observation with the light microscope was developed. This technique permitted examination of the outer layer of the seminiferous tubule; that is, the layer containing the spermatogonia. The spermatogonia, both stem and differentiated, could be identified easily, and long strings of spermatogonial nuclei exhibiting the same morphology were readily apparent. Because the segments of seminiferous tubule were intact, the nuclei of each string were enumerated. In addition, the spacing of the nuclei was rather constant from one string to the other. Furthermore, when tritiated thymidine was administered to the rodent before removing the testes, all the nuclei in a string were labeled. The conclusion was that as the spermatogonial nuclei divided, cytokinesis was not completed and cytoplasmic bridges connected the spermatogonia. After the strings with identical morphology were examined, three kinds of nuclear strings were identified. Pairs of type A spermatogonia were identified but were too far from the next nuclei of similar morphology to expect that they were part of the same string. Longer strings, consisting of 4, 8, or 16 nuclei, were readily distinguished. The type A spermatogonia, with a nucleus that was clearly separated from the next nucleus with the same morphology, were called A isolated or A single (As). When two nuclei of similar morphology were adjacent to one another, they were called A paired (Apr). The last class were strings of nuclei containing 4, 8, or 16 nuclei. These latter strings were called A aligned (Aai). These observations led to the conclusion that the type As were the renewing stem cells, whereas the remaining categories of nuclei strings were simply the result of mitosis without complete cytokinesis. Long strings of nuclei of type Ai_4 were also recognized, but the results suggested that the Type Aa nuclei, whether strings of 4, 8, or 16, would, at the proper time in spermatogenesis, transform directly into type A1 spermatogonia. This transformation of nuclei from strings of cells of different lengths is the greatest weakness of this model.
The latter scheme of stem cell renewal overcomes the problem of the former scheme, namely the dedifferentiation of type A4 cells producing the undifferentiated type A1 spermatogonia. This scheme, however, cannot explain easily how the transformation of nuclei strings with differing numbers can all transform simultaneously at the appropriate time to produce type A1 spermatogonia. The greatest weakness of this model is that the cells can transform into A1 whether they are in strings of 4, 8, or 16 nuclei. This poses a substantial problem, because the timing of the seminiferous epithelial cycle is clearly determined by the germ cells and not by external factors (41). It is difficult to conceive a mechanism whereby the chains of 4, 8, or 16 nuclei can detect the appropriate environment and directly transform.
In summary, the two schemes of stem cell renewal are distinctive in two respects. The first scheme has two types of stem cells, namely reserve stem cells and renewing stem cells. The reserve stem cells, type A0 spermatogonia, are quiescent and only become active when the renewing stem cells, types A1-4 spermatogonia, are destroyed. The four generations of renewing stem cells require that a more differentiated cell, A4 spermatogonium, produces less differentiated daughter cells, type A1 spermatogonia. A mechanism that produces a pattern of differentiation immediately followed by dedifferentiation is difficult for the author to conceptualize. The second scheme of stem cell renewal is simpler than the first because no reserve stem cell is postulated, however, it has difficulty accounting for coordination of the strings of spermatogonial nuclei that have divided a different number of times, so that they all transform at the same time into the type A1 spermatogonia. This coordination is required because, as described in the Wave of the Cycle section, the various types of germ cells and the processes of spermatoogonial proliferation, meiosis, and spermiogenesis are ordered and highly synchronized. Neither scheme is entirely satisfactory.
For stem cell renewal in higher primates, the mechanism is less complicated compared to that of rodents. Only two types of A spermatogonia are found in the seminiferous epithelia of these species, types Ad and Ap spermatogonia (see Spermatogonia and Mitosis section).
Type Ad spermatogonia are rather mitotically inactive.4 This conclusion is based on two lines of evidence. First, the number of Ad spermatogonia in the higher primate testis is constant, and these cells rarely incorporate tritiated thyminidine, a marker of DNA synthesis preparatory to mitosis (18-20). Second, X-irradiation of the testes of adult rhesus monkeys destroyed all germ cells except the Ad spermatogonia (42). After documenting the decline and subsequent disappearance of all germ cells except Ad
4 It should be noted that the initial descriptions of spermatogenesis in man (16) suggested that the Ad spermatogonia were the renewing stem cells. Later studies in monkey and man showed that few Ad spermatogonia incorporate radiolabeled nucleotides, suggesting that these cells were mitotically quiescent (20).
spermatogonia, all irradiation was stopped, and the seminiferous epithelia of the monkeys were allowed to recover. The type Ad spermatogonia transformed without mitosis directly into the type Ap spermatogonia. Once the population of Ap spermatogonia was reestablished, some of the Ap spermatogonia transformed back to Ad spermatogonia. These results unequivocally demonstrate that the Type Ad spermatogonia are reserve stem cells.
The case for Ap spermatogonia being the renewing stem cells is based on morphome-tric analyses and the pattern of incorporation of tritiated thymidine. Clermont and Antar (20) injected the testes of adult stump-tailed macaques (M. arctoides) with the radiolabeled nucleotide. Testes were removed either 3 h or 12 d and 3 h after the injection. In addition, the number of each cell type was enumerated. The number of Ad spermatogo-nia was unchanged at both 3 h and 12 d 3 h after injection. Few Ad spermatogonia were labeled with the tritiated thymidine, and 12 d later, none was identified. These results led to the notion that the Ad spermatogonia were reserve stem cells. By contrast, the Ap spermatogonia were increased in number, and incorporated the radiolabeled nucleotide at 3 h after injection. After the increase in Ap spermatogonia, the number of these cell types returned to the number before the increase. This transient increase in cell number was observed in the testes removed 14 d 3 h after the administration of tritiated thymidine. Moreover, Ap spermatogonia were labeled with tritiated thymidine in the testes removed 12 d 3 h after the single injection with labeled nucleotide.
Two schemata for the mechanism of stem cell renewal have been postulated (20). The first scheme, which occurs in the rhesus monkey and African green monkey, and, perhaps, in man, is distinguished by a single peak of mitosis of the Ap spermatogonia. During that peak, all type Ap spermatogonia divide and yield either more Ap spermatogonia, thus renewing the population, or type B spermatogonia, beginning spermatogenesis. Whether this cell division is symmetrical or asymmetrical has not been determined, although cell counts and labeling patterns suggest that the mitosis of Ap spermatogonia mitosis is symmetrical; that is, half of the population of Ap spermatogonia divides and produces two daughter cells, both of which are Ap spermatogonia. The remaining half of the Ap spermatogonia divide, and produce two identical type B spermatogonia.
The other scheme, which occurs in the stump-tailed macaque and the crab-eating macaque, is distinguished by two peaks of Ap spermatogonia mitosis during every cycle of the seminiferous epithelium. The first peak results in a transitory doubling of the number of Ap spermatogonia and is followed in the same cycle by a second peak of mitosis. Only half of these newly formed type Ap spermatogonia divide during the second peak, resulting only in the production of the first generation of B spermatogonia. This scheme seems more likely to support the notion that the mitotic events are symmetrical.

Nails are likely the most uninformed piece of our body. Ladies do take enthusiasm to make their nails great alluring, however very little activity is taken to enhance the strength of nails.
A prevalent essayist and writer of Living Beauty (Fitzhenry and Whiteside) 2005, Lisa Petty cited that nails are the one which bears the most in the circumstance where the body isn't dealt with well. Along these lines, this Canadian author, maturing master and nutritionist assert that nails are entryways to our body.The supplements which one expend are come to the skin, hair and the conclusion to nails. In this manner, the nail can go about as a mirror to the medical problems in our body.
It is astonishing that simply taking a gander at the nails we can really recognize the medical problems the individual is experiencing. The weak, yellow or furrowed fingernails really show the dietary insufficiencies and medical issues like sickliness or thyroid illness. The toenails and fingernails are made of keratin protein and are the extraordinarily delicate piece in our body.The nails are molded in view of the blend of lymph vessels, matrices, veins, and nerves. The state of your nail relies upon your hereditary coding, while a portion of the characteristics of nails are regular to all. Like our nails are translucent and mirror the pink shade of blood finishing the minor veins underneath it. It is nor delicate and feel smooth.
You need to mindful that absence of supplements can make your nails recolored, plain revolting and hard. With a specific end goal to spare your nails and your body from medical problems, you can simply roll out little improvements in your eating routine and begin to take supplements to help them.
7 Regular Nail Conditions
Look at the 7 most basic nail condition alongside solutions for treat the conditions.
1. White Spots
The white spots on the nails because of inadequate zinc levels in the body. The regular wellspring of zinc is pumpkin seed, peas, sesame seeds and red meat.
2. Delicate Nails With Curl Upward
The delicate nails with twist towards up bearing are because of minimal iron in the body. The answer for this issue 325 mg of iron sulfate no less than 3 times each day.
3. Yellow Nails
The yellow nails are the aftereffect of an insufficiency of vitamin E in the body. The answer for this issue is extremely straightforward, you simply need to begin the supplement of vitamin E. The normal wellspring of vitamin E comprises of sweet potatoes, peanuts, hazelnuts, wheat germ oil and almonds which you can include your day by day consume less calories.
4. Split or Brittle Nails
This state of nails is because of absence of dampness and vitamin B in the body. To determine this issue You can begin the admission of gelatine, calcium supplements, and colloid minerals to dispose of this condition. For pregnant ladies biotin can be perilous, subsequently one ought not take this supplement without the guideline of a doctor.
5. Vertical Ridges
The lack of healthy sustenance or insufficiency of vitamin and minerals are reflected through the vertical edges. You can utilize almond oil and chamois support and clean your nails. Do this 2-3 times each day. Try not to go for edge fillers as it comprises of engineered synthetic concoctions in it.
6. Even Dents or Ridges
The even marks are really an indication of wholesome lacks, high fever, psoriasis or can cause because of injury after medical procedure. The supplements of protein and vitamin An are prompted by Petty to fix this condition.
7. Parasite
The continuous introduction of nails to warmth and clamminess prompts organism issue in the fingernail. The greenish, yellow or muddled look of nails shows the contagious disease. You can utilize tea tree oil douse to dispose of the contagious contamination in the nail.
At What Point You Should Be Concerned
Here are some wellbeing sign of nails which are not kidding and you ought to get a medicinal help for such conditions.
- Blue nail beds demonstrate issues in blood stream
- Delicate nails demonstrate hypo-or hyperthyroidism
- Upward-bowing nails prompt thyroid contamination
- Yellow nails speak to the interminable bronchitis
- White nail beds show liver contamination
- Red nail beds prompt coronary sickness
In the above condition, you should go for a wellbeing check up and treat the issues on the quick premise.

Gauthier Stops 17, Canada Beats Slovakia 4-2 at Hlinka Gretzky Cup
Alexis Lafrenière (St-Eustache, Que./Rimouski, QMJHL) and Josh Williams (Langley, B.C./Medicine Hat, WHL) had a goal and an assist each, sending Canada into the semifinals at the 2018 Hlinka Gretzky Cup with a 4-2 win over Slovakia on Tuesday night.
The Canadians controlled the puck for long stretches, finishing with a massive 58-19 advantage in shots on goal, but struggled to put pucks behind Slovak netminder David Borak, who was absolutely spectacular in a 54-save performance.
Kirby Dach (Fort Saskatchewan, Alta./Saskatoon, WHL) had the best opportunity in a scoreless first period, hitting the post behind Borak late in the opening frame.
Lafrenière didn't waste any time once the puck dropped to start the second; cutting onto the left wing, the Canadian captain snapped home the 1-0 goal after his first shot hit a Slovak stick and dropped back at his feet.
Dylan Holloway (Bragg Creek, Alta./Okotoks, AJHL) extended the lead to two late in the middle frame, jumping on the rebound of a Williams shot and going five-hole on Borak.
After Graeme Clarke (Ottawa, Ont./Ottawa, OHL) roofed a pretty pass from Dach to make it 3-0 on the power play just 78 seconds into the third period, the Canadians looked to be in complete control.
But Andrej Golian had his shot deflect off a Canadian stick and past goaltender Taylor Gauthier (Calgary, Alta./Prince George, WHL) at 5:33, and Artur Turansky chipped a power-play marker up and over Gauthier four minutes later to make it a one-goal game.
Canada kept its foot on the gas, though, and Jamieson Rees (Hamilton, Ont./Sarnia, OHL) went cross-crease to Williams at 12:12 for a two-goal advantage and a little bit of breathing room.
Justin Barron (Halifax, N.S./Halifax, QMJHL) added two more assists for the Canadians; the blue-liner has a tournament-leading four helpers through two games.
The win means the Canadians will take on Sweden for first place in Group A in the preliminary-round finale Wedensday night (7 p.m. MT), while the Slovaks will meet Switzerland in a match-up of winless teams (3 p.m. MT).

"I take risks, but I don't think of it that way."
I'll be honest, I've never heard of Flaunt magazine so I wasn't that excited to hear that Westbrook was gracing the cover but when I saw that he was on the Complex cover (one of the two – if you read Complex you will know what I mean) I was.
Check out Complex's preview to the story and click here for the full story and a cool photoshoot.
Russell Westbrook is changing the game. Not only has the three-time NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist scored more points than any other point guard in the league this year, he's also elevated the league's fashion sense to new heights. As the Oklahoma City Thunder battle the San Antonio Spurs in search of their second straight Western Conference title this spring, all eyes will be on Westbrook. The same man who brings the ball up court during the game also brings a new sophistication to getting dressed after the game. When Westbrook signed with Jordan Brand last October, MJ praised his style both on and off the court. We couldn't agree more.
Westbrook is one of the few professional basketball players to appear on the cover of Complex, joining living legends Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson. He's also the first NBA star to be spotted kicking it with André Leon Talley during New York fashion week. We called on ace lensman Kareem Black to photograph the Lawndale, CA native in his adopted hometown of Oklahoma City. Then staff writer Jian DeLeon traveled to Los Angeles and OKC to put together an in-depth profile of the NBA's style MVP. The magazine goes on sale April 2, but you can check out the cover story and photo shoot right now…

If you've ever come across those pop-up boxes that Appear just as you're going to leave a website, you've probably encountered Leadboxes.
This nifty box may either pop up mechanically or Be triggered by a state you set. The most popular condition is arguably the 2-step opt-in in which a visitor needs to click on a button to your own pop-up box to look.
If done correctly, Leadboxes could raise involvement And bring about more prospects for your company. As with all the landing pages, there is a drag-and-drop editor for Leadboxes to make it easier for users to get up and running in minutes.
To create one, click on"Create a Leadbox."
From here, it is possible to edit the leadbox at your Bidding. It has a drag-and-drop editor that makes coming up with a design for your leadbox very easy.
The Leadbox Layout enables you to fix the general layout Of the opt-in form. You may change the background picture, padding, timing control, and other people to get the most from your leadbox.
Leadbox Tracking enables you to capture and analyze information of your opt-in boxes to see how it Performs time. Join your Google Analytics or Visual Website Optimizer to collect information which will help you make sense of your own boxes.
Another useful feature should you need it, Leaddigits lets your audience opt-in to a email list through texting.
The rationale behind this one is build a text list. Thus, instead of merely collecting email addresses, it is possible to get people on a list with their phone numbers. This might be incredibly valuable especially with the younger generation that is more likely to text than email.
Leadlinks are links which you add into your Broadcast emails by your email service provider.
When the recipient clicks on that linkthey are Instantly registered. They will not have to enter additional info. This is especially useful for webinar registration and so on.
After a quick registration process, you'll input The dashboard and also be invited to create your very first campaign. By default, you are taken to Leadpages where you are able to make a landing page. You can access the site's additional features through the navigation bar.
To Begin your first landing page, click the Let's Do It button. The website will help you through the process by asking you questions regarding the essence of your landing page. You will be granted access to all of the available templates not long afterwards. Alternatively, you can access the templates directly through the navigation bar.
Now, It's important to note that there Are two kinds of templates out there. First, you have drag-and-drop templates which are more customizable and modern. Then you have your regular templates that are tried and tested to guarantee high conversion prices.
The best way to make a landing page depends on which Type of template you select (drag or standard).
Standard Templates
Standard templates are straightforward with small Room for modification. You'll have the ability to edit the text and substitute the sample pictures but will not be able to move any of the components around. You can elect to hide any element that you don't have any use for but users will need to do this with caution. Hiding elements can result in apparently empty spaces.
You can click on the navigation buttons to preview What the landing page will look like on a tablet or telephone.
To add SEO and monitoring information, simply click The Lead Page Options button located on the left sidebar sidebar. Use this to include metadata information in addition to monitoring codes.
As Soon as You're done, you can go ahead and save your Work or have it published. In case you haven't connected your email service provider together with your Leadpages account by this point, you will be prompted to do so. You won't have the ability to save the emails you collect otherwise. Landing Page Theme
Drag-and-Drop Templates
Drag-and-drop templates operate a bit differently. Right off the bat, you'll see that you have more choices. The sidebar houses four buttons: widgets, page layout, page style, and page tracking.
By dragging and dropping widgets into your landing Webpage, you are ready to insert new elements to edit. It's possible to add headlines, text, pictures, videos, buttons, and much more. It's here where you are going to encounter among Leadpages' most notorious kinks. The website's drag-and-drop performance is faulty.
Placing elements where you need them may be a pain. For starters, you may only set them in areas that the template allows you to. There are grids where widgets could be inserted while other places are off limits. Then there's the issue with precision. The widgets tend to snap into position. And as is the case throughout our testing, they end up nowhere close to its intended destination.
Editing the text and images, however, is a breeze. Simply click on any placeholder text and then substitute the present one . You can resize and move parts.
Page Layout lets you make changes to each section of your landing page. Here You can fine-tune the looks of your page as you want through CSS only simpler.
By Way of Example, clicking on the Page Layout icons Shows you the various section the webpage has. With this template, there are two sections — the content body and the footer.
If you want to change the background, click on "Section Style" and make the necessary changes out of here.
Page Style lets you play with your font in Addition to add custom CSS for more Advanced users.
Page Tracking works the same manner as in standard templates. Only this time, you Can integrate it with Facebook and Google Analytics.
You'll find All of Your saved landing pages at the dashboard. You may return and create more edits, rename the document, create a split evaluation (A/B testing), duplicate the landing page, or have it deleted.
Split testing is only available for Pro and Advanced plan members.
Customer Services
Customer service does exist but priority is given To advanced subscribers. They've got access to a 1-on-1 Quick Start Telephone in addition to free virtual workshops. Those under the standard plan might have to make do with chat service (9 AM to 5 PM Central time during weekdays) or start a support ticket.
You can publish your landing pages by themselves or under your domain name. But, publishing beneath a Subdomain can potentially turn off your audience. It's advisable to publish under your own domain.
To do that, click on the user icon on the top-right Part of the screen to open the drop-down menu. Choose"Domains" to load the page at which you are able to connect your domainname.
From here, Leadpages will guide you to the process Of linking your domainname.
The dynamic HTML options let you publish the Landing page on any website. However, there are ways to integrate the tool in other CMS like WordPress, Squarespace, and other popular content management systems.
Users may subscribe on a monthly, yearly, or Two-year basis with all the two-year strategy being the most cost-efficient provided you're in for the long haul. There are three tiers to choose from: standard, pro, and advanced.
At $25/month, Leadpages is affordable enough for startups and one-man showrunners. The advantages of having the ability to install and design landing pages for lead generation make up for the cost. But $48/month could be a steep price to cover the small perks you unlock at the level. Unless you have a true need for online sales and obligations and A/B testing, you're better off using the most basic plan. It also ought to be sufficient to help you earn more with your site or website.
Leadlinks and Leaddigits will also be unavailable Unless you subscribe to the expert or advanced plan which is really a bummer.

Benefits and Disadvantages OF Choosing Leadpages
Honestly, there is a lot to enjoy about Leadpages. However, the tool is far from ideal. Let us break down the advantages and disadvantages. Landing Page Theme
Benefit #1: Easy-to-Use
For the average user, Leadpages will probably be more than Enough to fulfill your lead generation goals. At the conclusion of the day, all you need is a presentable landing page that will wow your crowd. Leadpages is more than capable of getting the job done. It truly does not need any prior design or coding expertise.
Benefit #2: number of accessible Templates
The sheer number of available templates will be More than enough to get you started on the ideal path. There is a template for virtually every circumstance. Alternatives range from webinar webpages, thank you pages, product launch webpages, checkout pages, as well as 404 pages. Leadpages assert they've at least 160 free templates in their library.
Benefit #3: rapid and easy integration
You can use Leadpages no matter what CMS you are using. It may support WordPress, Joomla, Squarespace, and more.
Advantage #4:: Leadboxes
The Majority of this Leadpages inspection was concentrated on The landing page builder but let's not forget that readers also get access to Leadboxes. There is no denying that pop-up boxes are powerful and can lead to conversions that would otherwise be overlooked if not for Leadboxes.
Weak Spot #1: problems with the Landing Page Builder
The drag-and-drop performance issues need to be addressed. Individuals that are very particular in their landing page designs can struggle with the program's interface. The tool may also slow down every now and which can be troublesome especially for individuals that are looking for a tight deadline.
Weak place #2: limited customization in standard templates
Leadpages themselves promote users not utilize their standard templates. There is hardly any customization options. The lack of drag-and-drop feature is unavailable for standard templates. Thus, even in case you decide to locate a template worth using in their dated selections, you would be not able to customize them as you see fit.
Weak spot #3: A/B testing only for pro users and above
There is no denying the importance of A/B testing. It's the only way to determine which pages are working and which ones need refinement. Unfortunately, standard users don't have any access to A/B testing and will need to upgrade to a higher plan to generate use of this attribute.
Leadpages is a Fantastic bargain for startups awarded the Reasonable $25 entry point. If you need sleek, responsive landing pages fast and would help you improve your conversion funnel and earn more money, the tool will be more than capable of delivering exactly that. But, there are plenty of alternatives out there that do pretty much the exact same thing. Not on exactly the same level, but you do have options.
Large-scale companies are likely to have in-house Solutions to developing landing pages to their lead generation campaigns. The $199/month innovative plan appears too steep of a price point for large corporations.
The Fantastic thing about Leadpages is that they have a Free 14-day trial period so you may check out the tool to yourself (even though you Do need to provide your credit card information). Even though Leadpages does have its Merits, the prosperity of landing page solutions out from the marketplace along with The quirks of Leadpages' builder tool makes it hard to urge.

If you've ever smelled skunk spray, you'll know exactly why these furry, nocturnal critters are considered a nuisance. That musk, produced by a pair of anal glands, broadcasts their upset across long distances, acting as an irritant not just to our noses, but to our eyes and skin as well. Dealing with a problem skunk in your home or yard should be handled by a qualified professional — it's the only possible way you'll come up smelling like roses instead of skunk musk.
Unmistakable Smell of Skunks?
Are you having Skunk problems? Call Critter Control today at (574) 825-1079 in South Bend and Elkhart,
or (260) 632-5106 in the Fort Wayne area and our trained staff will be there to help with your skunk removal.
Identifying Skunks
Skunks are approximately the size of a house cat, with characteristic black and white fur bearing spots and striping. Their tails are big and bushy, while their legs, head, ears and eyes tend to be small. They favor wooded areas, open fields and lands bordering on forests, but will seek shelter in your home, under your porch or deck or even inside your heating unit cabinetry if no natural burrowing spots are available.
Skunk Problems
Skunks seek out homes and yards for food or shelter. Primarily active at night, these omnivorous mammals typically feast on berries, fruits and small rodents, snakes, amphibians and insects, but adapt readily to a diet including human refuse, pet food and garden vegetables. In the process of seeking out food, their digging habits destroy lawns and gardens. When they seek shelter indoors, those same digging and scratching habits can damage walls, insulation and wiring in your home.
Skunks are also carriers of diseases that are harmful to humans and other animals, including your pets. Rabies, tularemia and distemper are among the list of diseases carried by these creatures that could put you at risk. They also can carry parasites such as fleas, mites, ticks and worms that pose their own set of problems when skunks find their way into human-occupied spaces.
Most notably, the problem of skunks comes down to their spray, which is released when the animal feels threatened or in danger. The defensive spray can carry up to 20 feet, and can cause nausea, vomiting and pain, particularly when shot into a person's eyes. Removal of the oily liquid that carries the spray can be difficult, and porous objects like carpeting may need to be scrapped entirely.
Dealing with a Skunk Problem
When dealing with a problematic skunk, a good offense is your best defense. Secure your trash cans and keep pet food indoors and carefully monitor the moisture around your home to prevent insects and grubs that skunks love to eat. Ensuring all holes, cracks and openings in your home's exterior are sealed, as well as securing attractive denning sites under porches or near sheds can send the clear message that skunks are not welcome. If possible, keep your pets indoors at night and supervise their trips outside to prevent a possible spraying once you've identified a skunk problem on your property.
Don't ever attempt to deal with a skunk on your own. Instead, contact a qualified wildlife specialist like those at Critter Control. They have the proper tools, training and knowledge to safely, humanely and effectively trap a skunk in your home or yard without putting you at risk of getting sprayed or bitten by a scared skunk.

Subscribe To Kevin Feige Affirms Marvel Studio's Focus On Diversity Updates
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an ever changing place, as the massive franchise recently celebrated a decade of filmmaking. The MCU has changed quite a bit since its inception, growing focused on a variety of characters, and often relying heavily on comedic moments. While the Phase One largely focused on white male characters, the shared universe has become an increasingly diverse place.
Phase Three is the most obvious example of this, as the blockbusters began featuring more people of color, women, and possibly even an LGBT character. Plus, those projects like Black Panther and Ant-Man and The Wasp have proven extremely successful with audiences. Marvel Studio head Kevin Feige recently spoke to the focus on telling inclusive stories in the future, saying:
In addition to giving Marvel audiences the chance to feel seen and represented in the media, diversity in the shared universe is positively affecting the quality of the films. And with the MCU showing no signs of slowing down, new perspective and surprising stories are exactly what Kevin Feige is looking for.
Kevin Feige's comments to Variety's Playback podcast show how the head of Marvel Studios is thinking about the MCU through a variety of different lenses. When making creative decisions about the MCU's future, Feige must weigh what the studio wants with fan expectations, and make a ton of money in the process. And after the insane success of projects like Black Panther, it's clear that Marvels' future is bound to be inclusive.
Black Panther was a record-breaking moment in film history, as it featured mostly black talent both in front of and behind the camera. It's a movie that made a ton of money, while also garnering glowing critical reviews and awards chatter. The residents of Wakanda came back in a major way in Avengers: Infinity War, so smart money says that the MCU is going to feature T'Challa's world plenty in the post-Endgame world.
Black Panther will presumably return to the MCU when Avengers: Endgame arrives in theaters on April 26th, 2019. In the meantime, check out our 2019 release list to plan your trips to the movies in the New Year.

Activities and Prayers During Navratri Festival
Navratri is celebrated with the traditional Gujarati dances of "Garba" and "Dandiya Raas". During the festival, devotees perform the following activities:
- Worshipers invite Goddess Durga (known as "Maa Amba" to Gujaratis) to their house by performing "Devi Sthapna" puja,
- Devotees visit temples and fast for Navratri's nine days. Nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped, one for each day. The nine forms of Goddess Durga are Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalratri, Mahagauri, Siddhidatri.
- Devotees light a lamp in a "Garbo" or "Ghatasthapana" (decorated earthen pot) for 9 days. The "Garbo" has holes in it and it represents the human body.
- In the evening, all family members celebrate the victory of Goddess Ambaji/Durga over Mahisasura by dancing "Raas Garba" and "Dandiya Raas".
- "Dusshera" is celebrated on the day after the 9th day of Navratri.
- Durga Idol Visarjan (Immersion) is done on the 10th day.
Traditional Navratri Dances of Dandiya Raas and Raas Garba
In "Garba" the dancer moves his/her hands and feet to four beats; whereas in "Dandiya Rass", dancers dance with sticks.
Garba Dance
- The easiest and most popular Raas Garba dances are the "Be Taali" (2 claps) and "Traan Taali" (3 claps). Please see the below video for simple instructions on these Garba steps.
- Other popular types of Garba Rass Dance are "Butterfly" (clapping and moving in a circle like a butterfly), "Trikonyu" (make a triangle movement), "Hudo" (raise hands and clap with a partner after 4 beats), "Popatiyu" (clap after 2 steps forward and 4 steps back), "Dodhiyu" (forward and backward movement to 8, 10, 12 beats), etc.
Dandiya Rass Dance
- Dandia Raas is played with 2 decorated sticks which are touched with a partner's sticks in a choreographed pattern. Usually, dancers form an inner and outer circle; one moves in a clock-wise and the other in a counter clock-wise direction. The inner and outer circle dancers partner each other in playing Dandiya Rass.
- Different types of Dandiya Raas dance are "Five Steps" technique, "Seven Steps", etc. "5 Step Dandiya Raas" is the most popular Dandia and the below video has easy instructions on how to play 5 Step Dandiya Raas.
The original folk dances of Garba Rass and Dandia Raas started as a depiction of the 9 day battle between Goddess Durga ("Ambaji") and Mahisasura. With this in mind, the "Dandiya" (sticks) and the "Garba" style of dance make a lot of sense.
Mahisasura was an "Asura" (Demon) who defeated Indra, the Hindu God of the "Devas" (Gods). Mahisasur threw out the Gods from Heaven. Since Mahisasura could not be defeated by any man, the Gods created Durga an avatar of Godess Parvati or Shakti. Maa Durga defeated the "Asuras" (Demons) and fought a long 9 day battle with Mahisasura, finally killing him on the tenth day.
Famous Navrati Dandiya Raas and Garba Rass Songs
Popular Navratri Garba and Dandya Raas songs are "Dholi Taro", "Aavo Ramva Raas", "Nagar Nand ji Na Laal", "Hu tau Gai ti Mele", etc
Clothes Worn for Navratri, Garba Raas Dance and Dandia Raas
Young girls and ladies wear colourful ethnic Gujarati style "Chaniya Choli", "Ghagra Choli", "Lehenga Choli" and sarees. Metal jewellery is often worn and so are white bangles on the forearms and biceps.
On top, boys and men wear the traditional Gujarati Kurta, called "Zabbho" or "Kedia" ("Kediya") and on the bottom a Pajama or Dhoti called "Dhotiyu" or "Lehanghas". Men also wear a "Pagdee" (Turban).

Remember how you were always looking for something to play with as a kid? Well, it's very likely that you're still doing that as an adult. Playing games, no matter in what form, is a process that grabs your attention, ignites your interest and keeps you entertained. So it's not very surprising that app developers are striving to create gamified experiences to please their users. In this article, we'll tell you everything you need to know about Gamification, and how you can gamify your mobile app to take your User Experience to the next level!
So what is Gamification exactly?
Forrester defines Gamification as "the insertion of game dynamics and mechanics into non-game activities to drive a desired behavior." In other words, it means designing your app in a way so that it does not only serves its purpose, but also includes the elements of a game and insists on user participation and engagement.
Why you should hop on the Gamification bandwagon
More and more app developers and publishers are using Gamification; over 30% of employers have the intention of adopting at least one health-focused gamified strategy within the next year. This is not very surprising, considering that 63% of American adults agree that making daily activities more 'game-like' makes them more fun to do. Non-game apps that are backed with some game dynamic features tend to offer a better user experience, increase user engagement and have a better Return on Investment.
Five methods to gamify your app
Achievements: We all like to be rewarded for what we do. By stimulating users to complete an in-app task and rewarding them (for example by unlocking a new feature), awakens their competitive spirit.
Appointment Dynamic: With this method, you ask your user to return to the app within a predetermined time. In return, they receive a reward. This is an excellent way to boost user engagement.
Pouring Information Theory: Instead of letting users figure out the app by themselves, you can send them (bi)weekly 'lessons' by e-mail, to help them get a better understanding of the app and introduce newly added features. These e-mails do not just serve as a source of information, but also as a reminder; they will trigger the user to engage with your app.
Countdown Dynamic: The Countdown Dynamic method involves asking your users to complete a task within a specific timeframe. This evokes a certain sense of urgency with them, and gently pushes them toward more frequent engagement with the app.
Loyalty: Loyalty is actually one of the primary goals of gamifying your app. The users that tend to engage with your app the most, are the most loyal, and are more likely to talk to others about your app. Giving your users a sense of ownership and pride is an excellent way to increase loyalty dynamic.

A problem on the steady flow of heat through glass is treated mathematically. It is shown that though infrared energy is absorbed within a short distance by almost any glass, the reradiation of energy by the glass itself is sufficient at glass-melting temperatures to cause a considerable flow of heat. At 1200°C the radiant heat flow within a common window glass is of the order of fifty times the ordinary conductive flow. The effect is much less important at lower temperatures because the total radiant energy is smaller and because most glasses are very opaque to the longer infrared wavelengths involved.

You may be familiar with the phrase "once a cheater, always a cheater." But there could be some science to back up the idiom, according to a new study.
»RELATED: Video of woman confronting ex's infidelity sparks viral #HurtBae hashtag
Researchers from the University of Denver conducted an experiment, which was published in Archives of Sexual Behavior, to determine predictors of relationship infidelity.
To do so, they surveyed 484 people who had been in at least two relationships over a five-year period. The questionnaire focused on the individuals' sexual involvement and whether or not they had sexual relations with people other than their partners. It even asked if they'd suspected their partner of cheating.
After analyzing the data, they found that those who stepped out were three times more likely to do it again compared to those who stayed faithful. Those who knew of their partner's infidelity were two times more likely to have their next partner two-time them as well.
Even the suspicious participants were at risk. Those who simply thought their mate were unfaithful were four times more likely to be suspicious of their next mate.
"The takeaway for us is that we all need to pay attention to our romantic pasts in order to make better choices for our future (or current) relationships," Kayla Knopp, lead author, told Refinery29.
Despite the results, scientists did note their sample size was small. Therefore, more research should be conducted on a larger group to involve a variety of couples such as those in open relationships.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced Thursday that it is closing 63 of its Sam's Club warehouse stores, including at least two in Southern California.
Some, including the Sam's Club locations in City of Industry and Stanton, were closed Thursday but will reopen Friday through Jan. 26. Others will be closing in the coming weeks. The move was unsettling for employees because many didn't learn of the closures until they arrived for work Thursday.
Victoria Ortega, who has worked at the Sam's Club in Industry for 1 1/2 years, was one of those workers.
"I came in and … I don't know, it just feels like a slap in the face," the 20-year-old Walnut resident said. "I expected to just come to work, not to find out that this store I call my second home is closing."
Both the Industry and Stanton stores indicated that they would reopen on Friday.
"We closed the clubs today so that the employees could digest the news," company spokeswoman Delia Garcia explained Thursday. "The stores will reopen tomorrow and but will close permanently on Jan. 26."
In a company-wide email sent out to employees on Thursday, Sam's Club CEO John Furner outlined some of the challenges that led to the decision.
"After a thorough review, it became clear we had built clubs in some locations that impacted other clubs, and where population had not grown as anticipated," Furner said. "We've decided to right-size our fleet and better align our locations with our strategy. We will be closing some clubs, and we notified them today."
Up to 12 of the impacted locations will be converted into e-commerce fulfillment centers, the company said, to better serve the growing number of Sam's Club members shopping who shop online. The first of those conversions will be in Memphis, Tennessee.
Furner said the company plans to place as many employees as possible in new roles at nearby locations.
"We'll provide them with support, resources, and severance pay to those eligible," he said. "Many of our associates and members will move to nearby clubs."
Ortega was informed that she would have the opportunity to work at another Sam's Club. But to do that, she has to re-apply for the new job. The retail chain, which competes with Costco, has more than 650 locations that employ more than 100,000 people. Each Sam's Club employs an average of 175 people, according to the company.
Customers who showed up at the Industry store on Thursday were equally surprised to see the store closed.
"They just told me that it closed and I was shocked," Jaime Alvarez, 50, of Lynwood said. "This is not good. I'll have to go to Target — or anything that's open."
Burt P. Flickinger III, managing director for the retail consulting firm Strategic Resource Group, said the closures are especially disheartening in light of the perks that were announced Thursday for Walmart employees.
"What should have started as Walmart's best day by increasing wages, benefits and maternity and parental leave for Walmart store workers turned into this," he said. "The hourly workers at Sam's Club are getting treated like orphans and tossed into the street the same day that Walmart workers are dancing on the proverbial table."
Flickinger said Sam's Club has been crowded out by BJ's Wholesale Club and Costco, which both offer a more exciting retail presentation than Sam's Club.
"Sam's Club is seen as too clinical, too sterile," he said. "Dollar Tree has more merchandise excitement than Sam's Club."
Flickinger said the move to abruptly shutter 63 Sam's Club locations without notice will hurt Walmart going forward.
"At a time when the company has been working hard to instill more customer confidence for the good deeds they do, they are going to get two huge black eyes — one for giving no notice to their employees and another for tossing team members out into the street."

A Policy Playbook for Platforms
The role of digital platform companies in our lives is expanding rapidly. Every day, huge numbers of us are creating and sharing content with known and unknown others on social media, booking rides, and buying goods from distant sellers in online multisided marketplaces. Behind the scenes, companies, big and small, trade on platforms offering B2B services or access to casual labour who will work from a distance. Such advances have brought huge benefits of cost, efficiency and choice.

Ecclesiastes 7:11 NLT
Wisdom is even better when you have money. Both are a benefit as you go through life.
If you don't understand the context of the verse in Ecclesiastes 7:11, it can become one of those verses in the bible that gets misinterpreted in a negative or a wrong way. It can be driven to teach you that money is more important than wisdom, and, however, that is not way you have to read it. You have to read it with the context.
This is what the bible says in Amplified version, wisdom along with an inheritance is good and an excellent advantage for those who see the sun. If you have an inheritance that is great; however, wisdom when it goes along with that inheritance that is even better. The reason being that if the inheritance comes without the wisdom, then you will eventually end up destroying the inheritance, the money, and the provision that God has given to you.
The best example in the bible is the prodigal son in Luke chapter 15.
King David he left a lot of inheritance for his son King Solomon and ordered him what to do with that inheritance, how to build the temple of God, in fact, the very blue print of the temple of God that King Solomon built was given to him by King David. He gave him the wisdom under which he can use his inheritance and money.
Don't let your eyes be fixed only on the inheritance and forget the wisdom that God wants to give us.
When we disconnect from wisdom, then whatever you have received from your leaders cannot be of great benefit as much as it can be with the presence of wisdom.
Reach out to your leaders, fathers, and mentors this week with what God has entrusted you with and ask for wisdom on how to handle it because if you handle it like the prodigal son, you will end up blowing up the whole thing in just a matter of time. The bible says that there was famine in all the land but there was still food in his father's house because in the father's house there is plenty of wisdom being utilized in using the inheritance unlike when you are outside the covering of the father'.
May the Lord open your eyes to see and understand the inheritance that he has in store for you so that you can make the best use of it for the day ahead.
God bless you. Have an amazing and beautiful day ahead.

Tower 42 and Guide to the Galaxy
This is one of London's biggest skyscrapers.
Location: 25 Old Broad Street, EC2N 1HQ
Description: Tower 42 is one of the tallest skyscrapers in the City of London at 183 metres high, originally called the National Westminster Tower or NatWest Tower - the logo can be seen when flying over it.
It was designed by Richard Seifert and engineered by Pell Frischmann and formally opened on 11 June 1981 by HM Queen Elizabeth II. It replaced the former bank buildings designed by architect John Gibson which dated back to 1865.
The tower was damaged in the April 1993 Bishopsgate bombing, by the Provisional Irish Republican Army truck bomb. The tower had to be entirely reclad and internally refurbished at a cost of 75 million.
In medieval London the first building on the site was Gresham House, built in 1563 by Sir Thomas Gresham. It later became Gresham College where students included Robert Hooke, Sir Christopher Wren and the composer John Bull.
Connections with Douglas Adams are unfounded, but in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy film, the tower is shown in the sequences leading up to the destruction of the Earth. Perhaps the tower does have some bearing on the Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?

"Slip and fall" accidents are situations where a person is injured by slipping, tripping, and falling due to a dangerous condition on a premise. These falls can take place both indoors and outdoors and can result from weather, bad flooring, wet floors, poorly lighted steps, or hidden patches. Icy patches, a crack in a sidewalk, or potholes are also factors that can cause serious fatalities. These injuries are far too common. Many times, they are caused by the negligence of another person or persons.
Slip-and-fall, in which the interface of the shoe and the floor fails
That depends. A victim would have to prove the following in order to hold the property owner responsible and have a premises liability case:
Contacting an Attorney
It is important to know what to do to protect the legal rights of yourself and your loved ones. Selecting a personal injury lawyer is an important decision.

March 17, 2005
By Mason Adams
The Roanoke Times
Ronald Carrier, who designed the curriculum for a proposed Southside Virginia college, has retired from his position as the college's founding president, but supporters pledged to continue to work toward his vision.
Carrier, the former president of James Madison University, was hired by Martinsville's Harvest Foundation last summer to build a model for the proposed college, which would allow students to earn bachelor's degrees in just over two years. In a press release, Carrier said that work is done and he is "ready to retire again."
He will leave behind more than a curriculum. The Harvest Foundation announced that the new college, if established, would bear his name: Carrier College.
For the Harvest Foundation, however, the work is really just getting started.
"The metaphor we like is that Dr. Carrier was the architect, and now we're entering the construction phase," said Harry Cerino, the foundation's executive director.
The foundation appointed a planning committee to handle the nuts-and-bolts work on the college plans. Right now, that means working with Gov. Mark Warner, legislators and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.
At the beginning of this year's General Assembly session, Warner recommended $1.5 million be set aside to study the college proposal, but the Virginia House of Delegates countered with a proposal to offer only $100,000.
Eventually, a compromise was reached, with the final budget including $1 million to study the idea, including an assessment of Martinsville and Southside Virginia's need for such a college.
The college planning committee has already worked to start the process of college accreditation, and it will work with advisers to implement plans for construction. Former Virginia Gov. Gerald Baliles is serving as the committee's senior adviser.
In addition to setting up the committee, the Harvest Foundation also extended the deadline on its $50 million challenge grant from January 2006 to July 2007. That money was set aside in January 2004, payable on the condition that the state establish a baccalaureate institution of higher learning in Martinsville or Henry County within two years.
The deadline extension came after the foundation realized "it's going to take some more planning to get this thing up and running," Cerino said.
One of the Harvest Foundation's most immediate challenges is finding a successor to Carrier.
"We're looking for someone who's innovative and creative, both a leader and a manager, who has expertise in higher education and institutions in government," Cerino said.
The foundation also would like the new president to live in or near Martinsville, according to Cerino and Carrier.

We made it back from Cardiff with only a few problems!
I hardly ate whilst we were away and that really took its toll on me. I was feeling so bloated and under the weather; the boyfriend being unwell probably didn't help. This finally hit home on Tuesday when I came down with a bad cough and cold. Worried that it could compromise my surgery next week, I shot off a quick email to my IBD nurse asking if I should be concerned; to which the reply was "if the symptoms die down by pre op (two days prior to surgery) it would probably be fine but the anaesthetist would determine if I was fit for surgery on the day."
So I've been sipping honey and lemon, using all the OTC remedies I can get down my neck and I am feeling almost 100% better, three days later. Got a couple more days to make sure that I'm without the cough – I can imagine that being very painful with abdominal wounds! – but I'm optimistic. I have been resting alot this week, I've been so tired and generally feeling rubbish. Haven't gone out of the house since last weekend just to make sure I'm going to be 'healthy' for surgery and I've been spending a significant amount of time and energy stuck in my 'office'.
I've had a call from the colorectal nurses at the hospital to explain I could see them at my pre op next week to discuss the minimal risk of a stoma after surgery. I'm quite happy with the small outcome of needing a stoma as a result of surgery so she said she would see me Thursday afternoon before my op to mark me up for a stoma, even if they don't use it, so they know the site if I do need one formed. I am hoping they don't.
Despite how rubbish I feel and how out of touch with the outside world I am, I feel okay. I'm just slowly counting down to next Thursday.
This definitely sums up my feelings for a couple weeks now:
Next week is hopefully the end of this pain and the start of a new chapter.
That being said, I am taking a small break whilst I recover from the first couple of days after surgery. I will be trying to video my post op recovery whilst in hospital and when I come home. Like I said, new chapter!

"The journal will keep records of my claim in case I need them"
The short answer:
That's sort of true … but you can't automatically see records that have been changed
You are able to access details of your universal credit claim by logging on to your home page, which has links to a range of current information including your 'to do list', journal and payment details.
However, you can lose access to information about your claim if the DWP amends decisions or entries. The DWP has said in a parliamentary answer that entries to the journal may be subject to change so that you may not be able to see what was previously in your journal -
- jobcentre staff have the ability to remove entries from the journal that they have made, although the DWP has said that a permanent record of the removed entry is retained;
- where a decision has been revised, an official letter is uploaded to the journal detailing the new decision and when it will take effect (but details of the previous decision or award are not visible to you).
In addition, the DWP has said in an FOI response dated 30 April 2018 that claimants are not able to see journal entries from previous claims. In a follow up FOI response dated 13 June 2018 the DWP says that claimants are not able to see journal entries from a previous claim even when reclaiming universal credit after a drop in earnings within six months of a previous claim ending (which enables a rapid reclaim to take place using the same details as the earlier claim).
TIP: It will help you deal with potential problems or challenging a decision in future if you keep copies of your journal and award statements as you go (for example, a screenshot). If you no longer have access to relevant claim details you can request the details from your case manager or, if that fails, request your personal information online.
NB - if you are claiming jointly as a couple, the DWP has said - in an FOI response dated 5 April 2018 - that you will lose access to the journal and your claims information immediately when you split your claim. However, the DWP also says that case managers are still able to access old versions of the information held on the system, so if you need details to help you with your current claim, or to challenge a decision connected to your old claim, you can request these from your case manager.
Official guidance:
DWP youtube videos about the universal credit journal and the homepage and statement.
Repeat claims process after receiving a nil award - paragraph 3.3 of the October 2018: Universal Credit landlord engagement newsletter.
Re-claims guidance from the DWP from the House of Commons library website (last updated March 2019).

Grêmio may still be celebrating the capture of South America's most illustrious title last week but the Copa Sudamericana final is yet to be decided and for two of the continent's biggest clubs it is a crucial opportunity to restore some pride and put past failures behind them.
For Brazilian giants Flamengo, five-time Campeonato Brasileiro champions, Copa Libertadores and Intercontinental Cup champions in 1981 and record Campeonato Carioca champions, it's an opportunity to make up for recent disappointments.
The Mengão are in the Sudamericana after another early exit from the Libertadores and victory would go someway to making up for that.
For Independiente it is something far more.
El Rey de Copas, a nickname that points back to Independiente's rich history has looked more like a cruel joke in recent years, but after the ignominy of suffering the first and only relegation in the club's history in 2013, Los Diablos Rojos are back in an international final.
The last was in this very competition back in 2010 when Independiente beat another Brazilian side, Goiás on penalties. It proved to be a peak before the great decline.
That is of course to say not the peak for Independiente – the reputation as King of Cups wasn't built on that, but after lifting a record seven Copa Libertadores titles between 1964 and 1984 it is easy to see why El Rojo have been so impatient to sit back to the top table of South American football.
Getting to here hasn't been easy and since that relegation Independiente have been through a host of managers, who have all failed to sate the insatiable appetite for instant success.
Current manager Ariel Holan was perhaps not the obvious candidate to buck that trend but the 57-year-old has proved an inspired choice.
The former hockey coach, Holan only moved into football in his early forties and had been a youth coach and assistant until Defensa y Justicia gave him his first managerial role in 2015. Results weren't spectacular in Florencio Varela but an attractive, attacking brand of football that gave plenty of opportunities to young players was evident.
When Independiente came calling to the recently unemployed Holan after the resignation of Gabriel Milito, it was a simple decision. The self-confessed El Rojo fanatic had the chance to guide the club he loved and his impact has been nothing short of tremendous.
Only a missed penalty on the last day of last season denied Independiente a place back in the Copa Libertadores, the holy grail for a club with such an affinity for the competition, but Independiente appear to have only gained a further determination to succeed since then.
Holan's side defend resolutely led by captain Nicolás Tagliafico but attack with such dynamism that many positions on the field become interchangable. The outrageously gifted teenager Ezequiel Barco, shifted to the left of Independiente's attack, blends perfectly with Maxi Meza, Juan Sánchez Miño and Martin Benitez, all of whom have produced some of their best form under Holan. And this dynamic trident all flow towards centre forward Emmanuel Gigliotti, who decisively scored twice in the semi final against Libertad.
Independiente probable XI: Martín Campaña; Fabricio Bustos, Alan Franco, Nicolás Taglifico, Martín Silva; Diego Rodríguez, Nicolás Domingo; Ezequiel Barco, Maximiliano Meza, Juan Sánchez Miño; Emmanuel Gigliotti
After edging past Atlético Tucumán and Libertad en route to the final with victories in Avellaneda that overturned away defeats, Independiente will be desperate to travel to the Maracanã next week with a lead.

Best Canadian Universities for Latin American Students
The Canadian universities have gained international prestige, which is annually acknowledged in the rankings of the best faculties at international level. This circumstance has had a significant impact on the number of foreign students that decide to study at any of the country's universities. According to a survey conducted by the Royal Bank (RBC), the number of foreign students registered in Canada has grown over the past decade. It went up to nearly 415,000 in 2016, beyond the 350,000 reported in 2015 and over the double of the 180,000 back in 2007. This figure is still relatively small if compared to the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. However, the growth in absolute terms has already surpassed the numbers reported by other countries with more tradition in this field.
China and India are the main student outbound countries. 132,000 Chinese citizens studied in Canada in 2016, which represents a third of the total. The number of Indian students was multiplied by ten over the past decade, so 80,000 were reported in 2016. Other figures reflect a growing presence of students from France (that number has been doubled since 2007), as well as Nigeria, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam. All in all, these countries sent over 60 percent of the foreign students received in Canada in 2016, thus surpassing the 35 percent registered in 2007. A significant growth has been seen over the past years in terms of students from such Latin American countries as Venezuela, Mexico and Peru.
The 2018 QS World University Rankings, which assesses and ranks the best universities of the world, has included 26 Canadian centers, four of which hold positions in the Top 100. What should foreign students interested in studying in Canada know? A Canadian citizen, for example, pays an average of 6,571 Canadian dollars a year for a university degree and 6,907 a year for a graduate degree. According to Statistics Canada, the average application fees for international students in 2017/18 are 25,180 Canadian dollars a year.
In Ontario, the provincial government reports that the average fee for university application is 6,160 Canadian dollars a year, while Statistics Canada takes that figure up to 7,868 dollars a year. According to different rankings and assessments in terms of quality, means, infrastructures and relation to the labor market, these are the top ten universities of Canada.
