text: Share: Comments Print July 15, 2009 at 6:46 PM Game thread: Detroit at Seattle Posted by Jayda Evans NOT AGAIN: Reeve rushed over to me and asked when was the last time Seattle lost two games at home. Man, it's been since July 2007. Seattle lost 66-63 when Smith did her usual thing at the end of the game, scoring six points to give Detroit the win. The Shock have won back-to-back road games while Seattle is reverting to its old defensive ways. Don't know what's up with the team and they don't have answers either. One thing is certain from Bird's perspective. It doesn't have to do with close friend Diana Taurasi and her DUI charge. "Katie Smith is her close friend, too, and it didn't bother her," Bird said. Smith led all scorers with 19. Bird finished with 10 while Wright had another awesome night nullified by a loss, finishing with 10 points and three assists, fouling out with 3.6 seconds left. TENSING UP: Wright missed a driving layin, but the Shock had another passing turnover to give Seattle another chance to pull ahead. Score is Shock 64-63 with 19.6 seconds remaining. ROCKIN' KEY: Officials don't know what a travel is in this quarter, but that's working in Seattle's favor. Using a rare lineup up of Bird, KG, Burse, Little, and Johnson, the Storm has stringed together a 4-0 spurt to pull ahead 59-55 with 5:44 remaining in the game. KeyArena is alive and the Storm has the right defensive attitude to possibly pull out the win. Johnson is in the game due to five fouls against Wright. JACKSON OUT II: Jackson will not return due to a strained left calf. That appears to be fine because KG is popping off like she's supposed to. She's hit back-to-back baskets to tie the score at 55 points apiece with 7:14 remaining in the matchup. JACKSON OUT: Jackson hobbled back to the locker room, apparently hampered by her ankle. She has yet to score in this quarter. Seattle down 46-44 with 2:45 remaining in the third. BLOOD AND FOUL: Braxton is on the bench being tended to like a boxer. She has cotton stuffed in her nostrils after a hard hit inside. She told coach Rick Mahorn that she's alright. Seattle took a 44-43 lead after a free throw by Little, who has finally arrived to the game. STORM RISING: OK, now the Storm looks like a team with two WNBA all-decade players and three All-Stars (a first for Seattle and seventh team all-time in the WNBA). Out of the break, Seattle continued with the defense that picked up in the second quarter and got some needed scoring from Wright and Little. Add an old-school three-point play by Cash and Seattle has inched within 41-40, forcing Detroit to call a timeout. The Shock may be breaking down. McWilliams wasn't happy with the help defense that Ford was giving, which caused McWilliams to pick up her fourth foul. She's seated on the bench steamed. NO DICE: Seattle looked like they might burst out of a timeout to piece together a mini run, sparked by their defense. The team helped force Detroit into two turnovers and Ford only made one of two free throw attempts. But after a three-pointer by Katie Gearlds, Jackson, Bird, and Burse (foul) couldn't convert. Seattle is down 39-30 at the break. Jackson leads the Storm with 11 points while McWilliams and Nolan have eight points apiece for their squad. The Strom is being outrebounded 16-11. HUFF AND PUFF: Jackson is breathing hard at the free throw line. Detroit's frontline came to play tonight and Braxton, McWilliams, and Ford are some tough brick houses to deal with. Little isn't playing like her normal self, shortening the Storm's options to counter. Add the Shock shooting an impressive 59.3 percent besides being draped by defenders and you see why the Storm is down 38-27 with 1:02 remaining in the half. ANOTHER TECH: Wright was called for her second technical of the season, high-stepping toward ref Clarke Stevens before briskly walking past him. She didn't appear to say anything, getting her last tech for not responding the officials. Wright felt she justly blocked a shot, but was called for a foul. Agler sub her out of the game. The Storm is down 30-19 with 4:40 remaining in the half. CAL HOF: Storm rookie Ashley Walker is spending her game days soaking her right foot in a bucket of ice water before wrapping up the injured big toe and sitting on the bench. But she's still the first player from the University of California to break into the WNBA. Never injured in college, she was the Pac-10's leading scorer and helped lead the Golden Bears to the Sweet 16. The school is conducting a Hall of Fame vote and Walker is on the list. You can vote her in here. SLOW CRANK: The Storm is getting it going, but expending a lot of energy on defense. The Shock look a lot better than they have on TV, moving the ball around and hitting shots. On defense, a few bad passes by Cash inside to Jackson made Detroit's defense look good. Bird is taking matters in her own hands, running around to get an open shot. Seattle is down 18-14 at the end of the first quarter. LIFELESS?: Detroit is its normal physical self and the Storm already appears agitated. There isn't much life on the defensive end and some whopper miscues on offense. Detroit leads 10-6 with 4:57 remaining in the opening quarter. Seattle shooting 25 percent to Detroit's 55.6. Little was particularly off, pulled early for Burse. Former Detroit Bill Laimbeer keeps in touch with his old team, according to assistant coach Cheryl Reeve, sending "sarcastic e-mails" like complimenting the Shock on looking like a championship team. Enter chuckle here. Due to injuries, coaching change and the WNBA not waiting for Detroit to get it together, the team is a miserable 3-7 — bottom of the Western Conference. The Shock would have to win about 60 percent of their games to pull out of the muck, which probably won't happen. But the team does return star Deanna Nolan to the starting lineup tonight. Nolan didn't play July 11 at Connecticut due to a right hamstring pull. Reeve, who is also the team's GM, said Nolan's minutes would be limited. For the Storm, it's their first outing with an All-Star lineup in forwards Swin Cash and Lauren Jackson and Sue Bird. With those type of accolades, you wouldn't expect the Storm to be 8-5, but the key to their success is defense. In the games lost, their defense or interest or both was pathetic. Coach Brian Agler had the team watch the entire loss to Chicago on Sunday, going over the defensive miscues. The word "switches" was the first written on the dry-erase board in the locker room, meaning working on not letting a shooter like Nolan pop out on a pick-and-roll to bank on in Seattle's face ala Kristi Toliver. We'll see if the team is focused on defense tonight. So, let's get to it. Here are your starting lineups: SHOCK F Katie Smith F Taj McWilliams C Cheryl Ford G Anna DeForge G Deanna Nolan STORM F Swin Cash F Lauren Jackson C Camille Little G Sue Bird G Tanisha Wright Tonight's officials are Clarke Stevens, Penny Davis, and Shelley Nakasone.

Let fashion change, you fix a personal style statement for yourself. The best part is that it is not about splurging on shopping for 'TRENDY' clothes every season, rather get innovative. With a few pieces from your own wardrobe create a makeover magic.
To get you started, here are a few wow ideas to opt for- crop tops, side slit skits and distressed jeans! They are easy to put together and high on the glam quotient this summer.
Crop tops
Take your old t-shirts, simply chop off the length and turn them into cool crop tops without spending a penny. In fact, you can keep the hemlines asymmetrical or add a fringe.
High slits
Maxi dresses and long skirts are always in fashion so add a high slit on one side or both, pump up your bold, glam quotient and go party.
In order to give a 'tailor-made' finish, get interlocking done on the edges of the slits. Keep to a height you feel comfortable to show off your legs.
Ripped denims
Don a pair of denims with more oomph. Get funky, simply tear off sections all over the length, to give it a ripped off, distressed look.
Add sequins, pearls or metallic embellishments and create subtle designs to dress it up further. Without spending a bomb, have fun experimenting, simply mix and match the pieces that you have designed yourself, to stay unique and fashion forward!

WASHINGTON — Stephen Strasburg was dominant in his final regular-season start and the Washington Nationals held their lead in the NL wild-card chase, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 on Thursday to sweep the five-game series.
The Nationals remained one game ahead of Milwaukee, which topped Cincinnati 5-3, atop the wild-card race.
Strasburg (18-6) allowed one run on four hits in six innings while striking out 10. He fanned Bryce Harper three times on his way to a career-best 251 strikeouts this season.
Strasburg set a career high for wins this year and had a 3.32 ERA. Both Strasburg and fellow ace Max Scherzer would have at least regular rest for the NL wild-card game against either Milwaukee or St. Louis on Tuesday.
After Harper said the heckling from Nationals fans went over the line Wednesday night, he drew a mix of boos and cheers his first time up. The former Washington star was then booed in the rest of his at-bats.
Michael A. Taylor hit his first homer in over a year for the Nationals, who completed the first five-game sweep in franchise history. Washington went 14-5 against Philadelphia this season, including the final nine at home after dropping the first meeting on April 2.
César Hernández hit his 13th homer and Andrew Knapp also connected as the Phillies lost their sixth straight and fell below .500 for the first time this season at 79-80.
Taylor hit a solo homer in the second off Jason Vargas (7-9) to give the Nationals a 2-0 lead. It was his first home run since Aug. 9, 2018. Taylor later added a double and a single for his first three-hit performance of the season.
The Nationals scored three more in the fifth on a bases-loaded walk, a wild pitch and a passed ball to increase their lead to 5-1. Daniel Hudson earned his eighth save overall and sixth for Washington with a scoreless ninth.
Phillies: SS Jean Segura left in the fifth inning with a right ankle sprain and was replaced by Sean Rodríguez
Phillies: RHP Vince Velasquez (7-8, 4.76 ERA) makes his final start of the season as Philadelphia hosts Miami. Velasquez is 4-3 with a 4.06 ERA in 14 careers starts against the Marlins.

My team and I worked with our client, Expedia, to improve their voice user interface (VUI) for travel. The VUI is a skill for Amazon Alexa which allows users to get information about their trips and ask about or search for flights, hotels, or car reservations through voice commands.
Understanding the Voice UI
To understand the Expedia VUI, we first developed an interaction flow diagram for its existing functions. We tested each possible command and examined the flow of the conversation. In some cases, the user reached a dead end or continuous loop, and they chose to end the interaction. The diagram displays three common statuses that a user might have when interacting with the Expedia skill: 1) not signed in to their Expedia account, 2) signed in, without upcoming trips, and 3) signed in, with upcoming trips.
Research Questions
We developed the following research questions to guide our study:
1. Does the Alexa Skill provide appropriate detail in its search results for users to make an informed booking? If not, why not?
2. Are users satisfied with the conversation flow?
3. What barriers do users encounter while communicating through the Expedia skill?
4. Does the voice system provide actionable error messages that are helpful to the user?
Participant Characteristics
We recruited 8 fluent English speakers who were planning to travel within the next six months. All participants were familiar with voice UIs and owned a device such as the Google Home or Amazon Alexa in their home. By request of our client, we matched the gender balance to prior research for travel planning at Expedia, which demonstrated that more females tended to do the planning.
Participants were recruited for a 60-minute study. At the beginning of the study, we briefed the participant on the topic of the study and the types of tasks they would be asked to do. After obtaining consent, we began video recordings of the participant with the Alexa. Next, we provided a brief training to the Expedia Alexa skill by informing them of a few possible commands within the skill and by giving the participant a training task to test the skill. Participants were also given a list of possible commands as a reference.
Participants were then given written prompts for each task. They were asked to communicate with the Expedia Alexa skill until they believed they completed the task. If they became too frustrated with a task, they could choose not to complete it. At the end of each task, video recordings were played back to participants for a retrospective think-aloud session. We chose this method because we found during pilot tests that thinking aloud while using a voice UI could cancel or confuse a voice command. In addition to the retrospective think-aloud session, participants also answered post-task questionnaires and a post-test interview.
Participants were asked to complete the following tasks:
1. Review Reservation: Review the details of an existing trip reservation.
2. Book a Flight: Search for a one-way flight to a specified destination and book it.
3. Book a Hotel: Search for a hotel at a specific destination and book it.
4. Book a Car Reservation: Search for a rental car at a specific destination and book it.
Data Metrics
We collected data from the usability sessions in three ways:
1. Metrics collected during tasks: These metrics focused on efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction. They included quantitative measurements that were primarily analyzed through descriptive statistics and content analysis.
2. Post-task questionnaires: These questionnaires focused on the challenges and high points of each task. They included Likert scale questions aimed to supplement findings from the metrics.
3. Post-test interview - The interviews were qualitative reflections about the participants' overall perception of the voice UI at the end of the study.
We reported the results of this study to our client at the Expedia headquarters. We hope that our findings were helpful for understanding how users interact with their voice UI and for understanding the potential of voice UIs for travel purposes.

Introduction|Intro|Background} Autoresponder Christmas
Within this Market Hero review, I'm going to show some email advertising secrets which are so great, you are going to want to crawl buck-naked across broken glass just to locate them. Autoresponder Christmas
But , I wish to say"thank you" into Alex Becker, the founder of Market Hero.
I began watching Alex Becker's YouTube movies back in 2016. He taught me the best way to conduct a Shopify shop, and a lot of stuff online advertising, about entrepreneurship.
It was right around the time that Alex released his book, The 10 Pillars of Wealth: Mind-Sets of The World's Richest People. I got that book once I watched it and I jumped to emphasize it and mark it up. In fact, I might move re-read it as soon as I finish this.
Actually, Market Hero is not even his only multi-million dollar company. The search engine optimization software development firm Source Wave was founded by him and today he's running a nutritional supplement manufacturer new. He has also got a few courses out there from the market teaching individuals how to increase their lists and market more on Shopify.
The dude is a vending machine. My hat off to you, Alex.

What's Market Hero?
Anyhow, Market Hero is among the best email Because it focuses on in-depth sales metrics autoresponders available on the market nowadays and it's so much better than its rivals.
I have used a lot of email autoresponder software through time, such as MadMimi and Drip. Drip has been my favorite up before I started using Market Hero. Drip allows you to perform a lot of things that is cool, like track your rates and label your subscribers.
But if you're anything like me, as you care about open prices and click-through prices, the thing that matters most is SALES. Earnings are the lifeblood of your enterprise and earnings is what places hard cash into your pocket. Market Hero helps you monitor sales, plain and simple.
Market Hero Support
While I did not have to use Market Hero support that They return to me quickly Much because everything is quite self-explanatory, the couple times that I did reach out to them. Autoresponder Christmas
The service isn't amazing to the point where they provide you with detailed step-by-step videos and also hold your hand through each step along the way, but it isn't terrible. If you want that degree of coddling and hand-holding, possibly Market Hero isn't for you.
Market Hero has English-speaking support team available to respond to your questions through live chat at no cost. You don't need to be part of any plan or package that is upgraded to possess priority service, like some companies do. You just log in and start chatting.
Could Market Hero Truly 4X Your Enterprise?
On Market Hero's homepage, one of the headings You will see says,"4X Your Email Business With Unequaled Delivery and Sales Metrics". This immediately set my B.S. sensor because I know how difficult it's to 4X an email sequence, especially if you're any good at everything you're doing.
However, Market Hero offers a free trial so I figured I would sign up and see if it had been any good. I guessed that I only need a small increase in sales for Market Hero to pay for itself and when it did 4X my business, I would be flying high.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure I do want to tell you that Market Hero has NOT increased my earnings 4X (yet), but I am getting more sales than previously and Market Hero IS paying for itself. Easily, actually. I was doing well and had my game tight, so that I understood a 4X increase would be rough.
But in case you are new to email marketing or in case you've got a bigger internet company, Market Hero could very likely 4X your sales. Here's how:
It tracks your customers' lifetime value.
I know I already mentioned this, but the key to Market Hero is the way that it keeps your customers' lifetime value (LTV) facing you at all times and it changes as you send emails out and tweak your own autoresponder. Once you understand your customer worth, it's possible to literally"buy" customers. What Market Hero does is every conversion for each and every lead on your listing and track every sale. It averages everything together and gives you.
If you're to do this manually, then you would probably have to go through different programs, different spreadsheets, and go back through your prior earnings. You may have to crunch on a lot of numbers which you probably don't have anymore. Market Hero simplifies this issue better than anybody else available on the market.
You can segment using tags.
Subscribe to the free trial : Market Hero
I know that you're probably thinking,"Tags? Okay… big deal." However, the way that Market Hero lets you use tags is better. Here's why…
Let's say that I'm running two different campaigns for the same audience. Anyone who opts-in to the first campaign is going to be labeled as"A" and anybody who opts-in to the second campaign is going to be tagged as"B".
I can go into Market Hero and filter out all of the"B" opt-ins and find out just how much they're worth compared to"A" opt-ins. If I find out that the"B" opt-ins are earning more money, I know that I must be pouring more advertising dollars into marketing the"B" opt-in. Autoresponder Christmas
If you do this again and again, you can build a powerful business because you'll always be split-testing to determine which kinds of people are worth more to your business.
And getting this up and running is super-easy too. All you have to do is choose the pixel which Market Hero gives you and place it in the regions that you want to monitor. From there, Market Hero will keep tabs on all your clients, sales, conversions, etc., to supply you with the data which you will need to grow your business.
You can incorporate with a lot of other services.
Inside Market Hero, there is a button called"integrations" that – you guessed it helps you integrate with matters like ClickFunnels, SamCart, Shopify, Leadpages, Zapier, and more.
I think this is a smart move by Alex Becker since it shows he understands his market. He understands that are using things like this and he would like to make sure that his applications integrates seamlessly.
My sole criticism is that a lot of the applications I use, for example OptinMonster and Thrive Themes hasn't been placed in the"integrations" tab. That does not mean that you CAN'T integrate thembecause you can (you utilize Zapier to make them talk to each other) but it's not quite as easy as something like ClickFunnels or Shopify.
Talking of Shopify…
How Is This Different From Other Autoresponders?
The best method for me to describe it is that of The email autoresponders were built for email marketers. I have nothing against marketers and that I send mails to my listing on a daily basis, however, their thinking has its limits. Market Hero was constructed by means of a business owner FOR company owners.
Market Hero is different since it provides you with a lot of different approaches that will help you monitor ROI and generate more profit from your own emails.
For instance, one of the coolest features is the fact that it shows you how much each lead is worth. Imagine logging in to your email autoresponder and seeing that every lead is worth $6.87 for you. That means you could go out and"purchase" email addresses to make money. What you do is that you buy paid traffic from Google, Facebook, etc. and send traffic into a opt-in page. If it's possible to find a prosperous than it's worth, you have a business that is profitable. Rinse and repeat as many times as you can.
It also allows you to segment your list in much deeper ways than other autoresponder services out there. I utilized Drip plus they have some decent segmentation tools in the ability to use tags to your leads , like I said, but it's small potatoes compared to Market Hero. I really don't want to give away any of Market Hero's proprietary info, but let's just say that you will probably be pleased with the segmentation ability. Autoresponder Christmas
Is Market Hero a Scam?
From what I've seen, certainly not. I think that At this time, by being a scam artist, Alex Becker has to lose. He is running various companies and he is smart enough to realize that if his reputation was tarnished by him, he'd be screwed.
From what I have seen, people have complained about his refund policy. These people are typically the ones who have used Market Hero for weeks and try to get all their cash. These are the scammers. If you aren't inclined to pay money you're scum. Plain and simple.
Market Hero's free trial offer is pretty straightforward. It says that in case you cancel within 14 days then you will not be billed anything.
Rest assured, gentle reader. Market Hero is legit.
If You've Shopify (Or Any Online Business…)
When I started composing this Market Hero review, I Was worried that it was going to lean a bit too much. That's why I want to stress that Market Hero can assist you in ANY online business, not Shopify.
On his YouTube channel, Alex has published a lot of different videos about Shopify. You discover that he provides a whole lot of useful info on the best way to make money with Shopify When you get past the titles. Part of the reason is because he wants to get people to test out Market Hero because he knows it might help them with their Shopify company.
For example, Market Hero lets you create abandoned cart sequences. Whenever someone begins the checkout process in Shopify (by entering their email) but does not complete it, that has tracked in Market Hero. From there, you can follow up with that person and get them back to complete their purchase.
The capacity to create those cart sequences is just one of the ways which you can make Market Hero literally pay for itself. Let's do some math…
Depending on the study which you browse, the ordinary cart abandonment rate for an online store is generally somewhere in the area of 70-80 percent. Are there individuals with abandonment prices? Sure, but this is actually the average.
Imagine you have 100 people go through your checkout process and 80 of these individuals abandon your cart. That usually means you have 80 non-customers and 20 customers. What if a cart retrieval sequence only got a mere 10% of this non-customers to buy?
That would get you an extra 8 clients. Which means that you would increase your sales 40%! (Because 8 extra sales is 40 percent of the 20 earnings you already had.)
In the event that you boosted your sales 40%, would that justify the investment in Market Hero? But that is not all…
Market Hero also lets you create upsell sequences. Could you create such strings with additional autoresponder softwares? Yes, you can. It is nowhere near as fluid and it will not give you that crucial lifetime customer value, although I am totally transparent about that. Autoresponder Christmas
The motive Market Hero is so strong is because you're able to use tags and track LTV. When you connect Market Hero into Shopify, it begins monitoring immediately. Purchase tags are implemented that show.
Imagine that you have a Shopify store selling print-on-demand dog tops. If a person bought a pug shirt, it'd be silly to attempt to market Golden Retriever stuff to that individual, right? But that is since they don't have the data in front of them exactly what a lot of online entrepreneurs do. Because Market Hero enables you to see what the individual purchased, you can focus on selling just stuff.
You are able to totally geek out with this stuff. You intricate and can get as comprehensive as you like. In my personal business, I use it to segment the topics that financial advisors are interested in. I don't need to bombard them with emails about GETTING customers, since they'd be immaterial because I sell products that assist advisors GET clients and help them KEEP clients, if a person is interested in KEEPING customers. This person would eventually unsubscribe.
Oh, and in case you're interested, here is a movie of Alex Becker showing you ways to increase your own Shopify sales 300 percent with Market Hero. Keep in mind that Market Hero can be used with ANY business, not Shopify.
Market Hero is an email software because It's built for people that are currently trying to make money online. In Case You Haven't completed So go around there, import your list and take advantage of this free trial.
You can't afford to not know your numbers. That's like Driving blind. If you don't know your numbers, you are leaving a huge Amount of cash on the table. Imagine how much more money you can make if you Knew exactly what every lead was worth. How would that change your decisions? How would that alter your life? Autoresponder Christmas

It is difficult to imagine, to know beyond this streaming.
I am writing a novel. And I must:
Get Published. Get Published. Get Published.
Or it all means nothing.
What if narrative lines are not lines but circles that intersect and bend? The fall line is never straight. I know this. Gravity twists it into 'c' shaped arcs and dives, creating spaces the sky fills with wind and shadow. There can never be a single, straight line. Light bends, hesitates, and encases itself in spirals.
There are currents in narrative lines, tides – spaces of lapse and expansion. Unknown depths – its efforts seep as it draws itself deeper. There are no lines – only parts of lines manipulated into shapes to mimic presence.
My language ensures my gaps. I cannot write myself to what I want to say – I can only fall around it, twisting and shifting as I spiral further, defining the dark spaces beyond me. I wonder in narratives and struggle within definitions – categories of knowledge and expression I cannot experience but that I can memorize.
I am negotiating a transfer of language – its currencies shift in the seconds between negotiations.
It's a game – an intersecting of words and tapestries. The colors muddle in the frame. I outline their worth in questions. I negotiate beyond reason. Through it, traversing the edges before slipping through the walls on either side. I am not solid in my language. It drifts. The currents ebb against the shores the waves swallow when I decide it is night, shifting its center to another axle. The light will come from the south this time. The angle bend and twist around and through the objects they create. I know myself in my shadow.
Every vowel constitutes a ripple. The waves resonate. High echoes build in the hidden channels and gullies of my insides.
The colors shift, redefining depth and its aggregates. I connect the ripples with word is. Some are real; the others I only imagined.

Filth, from Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh, has taken a lot longer to come to the screen and I had high hopes for it since Trainspotting is an incredible movie from start to finish. Oh, by the way, I'm one of those people who never read books – I wait for the film version to come […]

CoreLogic's Home Price Index (HPI) finished up 2017 a little lower than when the year started but showing some additional slowing from later in the year. The index in January 2017 was up 6.9 percent year-over-year, and then wobbled between 6.6 percent and 7.1 percent every month since. In December it was up 6.6 percent on an annual basis, after rising by 7.0 percent in September, October, and November. The December annual increase tied with June as the smallest of the year. The states with the largest gains for the year were all in the west , Washington prices rose by 12.0 percent, Nevada was up 11.0 percent, Utah and Idaho increased by 10.7 percent, and California's index gained 8.2 percent. At the other end of the scale, Alaska, Connecticut, and Oklahoma all had annual increases under 2.0…(read more)

Sad news for EastEnders fans! Actress Lisa Hammond, who plays mouthy Donna Yates, has announced that she is leaving the BBC soap. "It's been so great to play Donna for the past four years," she told Metro.co.uk. "I've made lifelong friends at EastEnders and will really miss all of the brilliant cast and crew who have always been a pleasure to work with! I look forward to what the future brings." It has yet to be confirmed how her character will leave the show.
Lisa Hammond is leaving EastEnders after four years
An EastEnders spokesperson added: "We can confirm Lisa will be leaving EastEnders in the coming months. Lisa has been a fantastic addition to the cast and she will be missed. We wish her all the very best for the future." Lisa, 34, also took to her Twitter to announce her departure, writing: "Happy/sad :-)" [sic] Since arriving on the Square, Donna has been integral in various storylines. She angered Walford residents after her clothes stall was moved from Spring Lane Market to Bridge Street. The market stall holder was later joined on-screen by her foster-brother Vincent Hubbard and her foster-mother, Claudette Hubbard.
MORE: EastEnders star Richard Blackwood reveals the real reason why he's leaving
News of Lisa's departure comes shortly after it was revealed that Vincent, played by Richard Blackwood, will be leaving the soap in spring. The rapper-turned-actor has since admitted that the choice wasn't entirely down to him. "There was no bad vibe between me and EastEnders about leaving," he explained to So Solid Crew's Harvey on his YouTube channel. "It just so happened that I came to the end of my contract and they weren't going to renew it." But the 45-year-old confessed that he has just accepted the move as part of the industry. "I said if I get more than one year, I reckon I'm going to do three years," he shared. "EastEnders is its own movie, I'm a character within it. My character within that movie had to leave." It was also announced last month that Michelle Fowler is being written out just 14 months after she joined the BBC show.

Sunday night, Tom Glavine became the 23rd pitcher in Major League History to win 300 games, and just the fifth left-handed pitcher to ever reach that milestone.
Glavine's first 242 career victories came with the Atlanta Braves, and of the three dominant Braves pitchers of the 90s—Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz—Glavine was always my favorite.
Never blessed with overpowering speed or a devastating breaking ball, he seemed to win games solely on willpower, guile and stubbornness.
I was somewhat heartbroken when Glavine left the Braves a few years ago to play for the New York Mets, Atlanta's arch-rival, and even if his reasons were somewhat justified, I still shifted some of my allegiance from him to Smoltz, and took some delight when Glavine would pitch against the Braves and get roughed up.
I'm sure Glavine has lost a little bit over the last few years, but his career numbers certainly haven't been helped by playing for the Mets, who were mediocre at best the first three years he pitched for them, and even since they've been good have ruined several of his strong performances by a lack of run support and meltdowns from the bullpen.
It does make you wonder how many wins Glavine would've had by now had he remained a Brave, or at least, it made me wonder, so I took a look at his stats. After a superficial investigation, assuming that he continued to win the same percentage of his starts, he would've had about 315 victories by now—basically a season's worth.
Either way, Glavine will end up in the Hall of Fame, and will go down as one of the best pitchers of all time, but had he stayed in Atlanta, I think he might have had a chance of winning more games than any other left-handed pitcher in history (Warren Spahn holds the current record with 363), which would have put him in some very impressive company.
But then again, for a kid from the Northeast who wanted to be a hockey player and then went 7-17 in his first full season in the bigs, maybe getting to 300 is impressive enough.

October to December 2019 Currency Forecasts
In these forecasts:
- Focus on the Brexit, the European Economy and the US-China trade war
- Economic factors to look out for in the UK, US and Europe
- Currency forecasts for GBP/USD, GBP/EUR and EUR/USD
- Brand new 'Global Currencies' sections
Download the latest currency forecasts
The main aim of our quarterly currency forecasts is to highlight how important currency risk management can be to businesses with foreign currency exposure.
In our years of working in the foreign exchange industry, we have learned that despite what anybody might claim, nobody knows what is going to happen to any given currency pairing from one day to the next. The sad truth is that there is no magic crystal ball to consult; we are often asked what is going to happen to the US dollar six months from now and we hold our hands up – we don't know and neither does anyone else.
In previous editions of our forecasts, we have been keen to stress just how unreliable they are. However, while that point always bears repeating, it is especially true for this quarter, given how much is up in the air with regards to Brexit. Then there is the persistent unreliability of Donald Trump, where nobody can sure what he will do, say or Tweet from one day to the next. Forecasts make for interesting reading, but they can be very dangerous if you make a decision based on them that turns out to be wrong.
That is why we work hard to extol the virtues of our BRS (budget, risk, solution) approach. We believe it is the most effective means of determining each client's requirements. If you're budgeted at a specific level and the markets do not move in your favour, your business could be significantly affected. Not many UK SMEs can take those risks on the chin and, if you can, then good luck to you.
It's fair to say that Brexit has been more tumultuous than we had ever imagined. We still don't know exactly what, if anything, will end up being agreed by 31st October.
The mixed rhetoric surrounding Brexit negotiations has had a mirrored effect on the pound, whilst the euro and the dollar remain susceptible to slowing economies and trade war tensions. It's impossible to predict the course of events from now until the 31st of October and beyond, so we can't begin to make decisions based on how these currencies may fare.
Hence our passion for communicating this crucial point: FX should never be seen as a revenue stream, but, if the right strategic approach is taken, it is a means of achieving a definite cash flow.
We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.

She no longer writes on walls
as when I first met her.
I remember the pen-scratched poems on
kitchen-wall tiles
newspaper bits stuck with collate
"good lines" underlined or highlighted
(the same color highlights around the world)
She no longer writes on walls
as I have done once in my life.
Perpendicular to my laying in the bed
block letters spoke unconvincingly
trying to convince myself, "I want to write."
Which could have been,
"I want to do art" or
"I want to become a better person" or
"I want to learn to eat raw vegetables"
Obviously out of a fit of passion,
but less so than her once persistent wall-additions.
They were not her words, of course,
they were borrowed versions–
And as I took the remnants down, scrubbed the tiles,
unstuck the tape, ripped some corners slightly
I saw lines of what had been, emerging.
squares of clean space, bordered by
grease and smoke and 5 years of living,
A void.
A small reminder, that she no longer writes on walls.

My absence from my blog has been a result of chewed up wires courtesy my cat Begum, and sudden power cuts that keep the towers of my server elusively out of reach! So if things come tumbling out rather frantically, as I stuff my face with my prawn salad lunch, don't be too harsh on me please!
From the last few days, my emotional pendulum swings from outrage to depression and back, as I see the abuse of power occur repeatedly in India; and be rest assured that all such incidents go unheeded and unnoticed, nine times out of ten. This is because nothing today is uncorrupted in India and we are content with this as the image that represents our country. Even a conversation that presents ideals will have onlookers wincing in agony over the "naivety" of the speaker, and the topic will get changed quickly because who is really interested in the betterment of anything, except if it is about getting something for oneself! Teenagers get assaulted and the perpetrators get high-ranking police jobs! Wow, what a brilliant equation that makes!
Instead we have "serious" debates on TV channels about Tiger Woods' infidelities! Though I do not condone his behaviour as it appears that he views women as mere objects for his sexual entertainment; it really is not my business to react more intensely than feel sorrow and compassion for his family. His wife and children and mother will, I am sure, be the most impacted and will appropriately find ways to convey their response to him on the matter. Where do I or "we the people" of this nation fit into this episode of his private life, and do we need to be looking to observe these aspects of life rather than take care of what needs urgent attention in our own back yard?
We make innocent children stateless from surrogacy issues, yet encourage this "tourist trade" without caring about legal pitfalls that become nobodies issue when it ruins the lives of those who trusted our system! Our nations motto is to let the dreams of others get crushed at the callous feet of indifference, as sycophancy runs rampant in the corridors of power where elected representatives of ours short change us at every opportunity.
Today guns blaze, but not metaphorically as alluding to acts of bravery or heroic deeds. No. Today guns blaze as people shoot one another like comic book western robbers come to life.
You don't get served what you want in a public place. Shoot to kill.
You don't get your kick back from a project. Shoot to kill.
Your sexual advances are not accepted. Shoot to kill.
You can't over take on a road. Shoot to kill.
Bang-Bang-Bang. It's so easy.
My heart goes bang-bang-bang as I lie awake at night some days, tense and angry from the news items that wash me with despair. The knowledge that so many stories of anguish are not even reported, is heart wrenching. The poor remains voiceless as we make them dance to our tunes decade after decade; and as we lavishly celebrate weddings with a display of wealth that is so useless, do we even for a moments at such occasions even remotely consider using the finances at hand, for something more human and vital.
The new year is ticking closer. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Which mouse will run up the clock? The old brigade still holds the reigns of power, and the new just pretend at being different. Mochi-Gucci is the game. So as Mayawati's statues stand tall, another farmer will kill himself in some remote corner of our country. Hey, it's the new year, so cheers! What will the nominated baron pronounce as the remedy for us this year? A glass of beer perhaps!

text: There is no way to adequately start this article. There are thousands of metaphors I could twist into something that will tear at your heart strings, but there is nothing that will make you feel. There is nothing that will make you stop what you're doing and take immediate action. There are only the strangled voices and the loss of lives before they've even begun, struggling to maintain some type of humanity within themselves, to remind them they're human, too, that stand behind you like evanescent ghosts.… [Read more]

When the questions are:
• What am I going to do with all this zucchini? I hate it steamed, but I've also grilled it a lot lately so that's getting boring.
• What am I going to do with all this meat sauce when I don't eat pasta?
The only answer is, zucchini pasta!
My friend Millie sent me this link to an old New York Time post, and I found dozens more with the googles. Use a peeler to make nice long linguine-type strips until you get to the core, and you're done. After that, so many variations, so many options. Raw? Steamed? Sautéed? Fried?
I went with sautée, in butter with salt and black pepper. Just a few minutes until it we reached al dente texture, and just beginning to turn translucent.
Delicious, healthy, and this cooks down a LOT, so you could go through 2-3 large zucchinis just to feed 4 adults. So if you're one of those people with a garden and more zucchini than you can handle, or if you're a friend of that person, or your CSA bag is 80% zucchinis and squashes… this is a great way to go.

Burlington, USA, 16 February 2007 – The Carbon Project has announced the full release of CarbonTools PRO, an extension to the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework for advanced location content handling, mapping and sharing.
"CarbonTools PRO is a unique platform providing .NET programmers with the software tools they need to easily incorporate location content in their development, regardless of the content type or source," said Jeff Harrison, President and CEO of The Carbon Project.
"The CarbonTools PRO extension to .NET lets developers quickly add complex geospatial data types and services, using a language that's in the 'comfort zone' of mainstream programmers rather than GIS professionals," said Nuke Goldstein, CTO and COO of The Carbon Project.
"With CarbonTools PRO developers can combine consumer-oriented content from providers such as Microsoft Virtual Earth, Yahoo! Maps and Google Earth with traditional GIS sources like Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GML, WMS, WFS, WCS, ESRI Shapefiles, MapInfo, Autodesk, OpenSource Geospatial Foundation and more. So it's now easy to create and use maps that mix and match location-based content and service types."
CarbonTools PRO is already in use around the world providing the foundation for many applications including ((Echo))MyPlace, the first-ever geosocial networking application that uses IPv6-based, peer-to-peer networking to connect people and places (free beta download at www.echomyplace.com).
CarbonTools PRO includes a powerful new symbology engine for meaningful maps, tools for working online or offline with location content, tools for creating and sharing geospatial-notes, over twenty code samples to jump start development and all the source code for Gaia 3 – a powerful application for accessing, visualizing and sharing location content.
CarbonTools PRO is available for $1,995 USD under a per developer license. For more information visit www.CarbonTools.com.
– About The Carbon Project
The Carbon Project is a Microsoft Certified Partner that pioneers innovative geosocial solutions and makes location-based information accessible and usable to everyone, everywhere. The Carbon Project's flagship product, CarbonTools PRO, is an extension to the Microsoft .NET Framework that supports advanced location content handling, mapping and sharing. The revolutionary CarbonCloud peer-to-peer (P2P) framework is the world's first P2P framework for sharing location content. For more information visit www.TheCarbonProject.com.

The Glorious Sound of Army of Moths, the band you should be listening to right now!
The flitttering, the fluttering, they're coming, they're coming…
Three minute warning.
The guy you occasionally saw in the bar always seemed amiable enough. You know, funny. Could talk football and politics and tell a joke—someone you'd perhaps say "hello" to and have a beer with. But sometimes you thought there was a hint of something more. You got the feeling, he knew his own mind and knew his own worth and had plans he wasn't going to share with you yet—if at all. He supposedly had a good voice. Thinking maybe karaoke, belting out a few Smiths tunes or "Karma Chameleon," that kind of thing—good for parties, bar mitzvahs, and weddings. But what you didn't understand was this guy could do more than sing, he hadn't just any voice, he had the voice of a fucking rock god.
Two minute warning.
The Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai said his talents as an artist became better with age. He was struck by lightning at the age of fifty in 1810 and once said "Until the age of seventy, nothing that I drew was worthy of notice."
It doesn't necessarily follow that being young makes you good—age teaches you how best to use your talents, how to make better art. How to make great art.
…closer now…
One minute warning.
This is your invite to be in at the start of the career of a truly great band—to have something to tell the grandkids about in those far-off years. To be among that handful of people who were there at say, the Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall in 1976, or among those who elbowed their way through the crowd down some dank cellar steps to hear a band play at lunchtime in Liverpool.
…they're here…
Army of Moths are a three-piece band consisting of David Sheridon, Debz Joy, and JP Coyle. Their talents spread across the map between Glasgow, Scotland, and Bristol, England and everywhere in between. The band formed in January 2018, after a brief run-out with an EP as the Polymorphic Love Orchestra late last year. All being over the age of thirty means just like Hokusai they have honed their talents over the years to produce better music, better art. This month, Army of Moths released their debut album, Sorry To Disturb You, which to be frank is one of the best debut records ever released by any band. While the music industry pumps out the same dull crap week in, week out, Army of Moths have stolen their jewels, taken top prize, dropped an A-bomb of brilliance on their on merits, on their own terms, with very little publicity, hardly any promotion, just their talents as collateral.
Sheridon, Joy and Coyle know their stuff. Sorry To Disturb You a DIY, lo-fi classic that mixes pop, rock, ambient, and indie, with nods to Bowie, the Damned, Gong, the Stranglers, Adam and the Ants, Syd Barrett, and the Cardiacs. I've had it stuck on repeat play since I got it on Monday, and know many of you will be doing the very same soon.
In an exclusive interview with Dangerous Minds, David Sheridon fills you in on what you need to know about the band you should be listening to right now.
How did Army of Moths come about?
David Sheridon: The band formed at the beginning of 2018. The idea had quite literally sprung from sitting messing around with the track 'Little Moth' that I'd written several years ago at about one in the morning. It was the first time that it seemed to actually sound like the noises I'd heard in my head and for some reason felt like it should be something more than just revisiting a song.
There was something really quite romantic about sitting in the corner of the room, with the small glow from the light in the early hours of the morning, creating this little story about a moth having it's own 'lightbulb' moment which inspired me to have my own.
What brought you together?
DS: The band centres around myself (David Sheridon), Debz Joy and JP Coyle. We had all written and played together prior to AoM but were taking a break from the other noises we were making. We'd always thought about doing something else together and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so.
It was pretty much an instant thing, putting the ideas together, and actually having fun creating a little world where we exist in rather than just writing tunes. We were all on the same wavelength immediately. Actually making music that we 'felt' rather than just tried to convey via conventional writing. The whole point of AoM being that it's a little world we live in not just three people making music for the sake of it.
Some of it is very personal and we'd all shared that in different ways.
When did you start recording 'Sorry To Disturb You'?
DS: We started recording pretty much straight away, albeit the idea of putting together an actual album didn't happen until about May 2018. We did it all at home on a little twelve-track recorder. We genuinely don't have a clue how to use technology so rather than try attempt to use software and recording programmes, we just set about trying to make all the stuff we were trying to do on that machine.
Obviously there are limitations but it was also really good fun trying to write bigger ideas with fewer means. We're aware that the production is very lo-fi at times even though the ideas aren't but hoped this would add to the informal feel of what we were doing.
I guess it also harks back to the whole idea of punk, whereby anyone can do what they want and do it themselves. Even though it isn't a punk album, it does have a lot of the DIY sentiment.
Where did the name Army of Moths come from?
DS: The name itself came from the song "Little Moth" and the story of him seeking out the light alongside the thousands upon thousands of other little moths……it just came out of the blue as the song happened. It makes perfect sense to me in a romantic way……all of these beautiful little creatures, all taking flight, heading towards something that draws them in, not knowing if their fate shall be the end or the beginning. I'm aware it's very pretentious at times hahaha, but I guess we're in love with the romanticisms of these ideas and the narratives and theatre.
There's a fair amount of escapism in what we do, but it's also very grounded in terms of emotion and it's all about making people feel something. That is essentially the ultimate goal….to make people feel not just hear what we're doing. There's a huge amount of optimism in the songs, although sometimes you're never sure where. The duality is always present.
What bands do you like and what are AoM's influences?
DS: There's bands we absolutely love and as fans, we will always love. We're generally more inspired by bands than influenced. Bands that make us feel incredible, sad, joyous, optimistic, sane, insane…..something Cardiacs do perfectly. We adore them.
However, we deliberately stay clear of trying to sound like that….first of all because no one sounds or feels like Cardiacs but also because if I want to hear and feel that way, I go straight to the source of Cardiacs for it.
We also love things like Major Parkinson (a revelation live), The Damned, Bowie, Adam and the Ants, Gong, The Stranglers, Madness, Syd Barrett, Blur, ABBA (pop genius in my opinion), Iggy Pop, The Dowling Poole etc etc….there are so many…and we don't try to or want to sound like that because we love and respect these people. They do however make us want to make music…..and we do use a pallete of sound we're familiar with, as any band does.
With liking different artists, it gives us an inspiration of different sounds we can experiment with.
When is AoM going to tour?
DS: We're currently getting the band together for live work and that'll be kinda a priority from now as we'd love to get out and play for people.
Five gold stars from this reviewer. Now you can hear the brilliance of Army of Moths too. Better still, buy it.

ORLANDO, Fla., April 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — R&B and Gospel Recording Artist Jarvis J. Mays will be the featured performer during the Black Women Handling Business (BWHB) Awards show on April 27. The annual program celebrates women of color for their acts of service, leadership, and strength while making an impact and building legacies. The ceremonies will take place at the Woman's Club of Sanford, 309 S. Oak Avenue, in Sanford, Fla.
"Having an amazing mother and beautiful smart daughters, I feel it's my duty to perform and give back to this empowering event for women," said Mays.
Trailblazing his way through the recording industry with a series of stellar songs, Jarvis J. Mays continues to build his brand in the music industry through his unique style and undeniable talent. The father, singer/songwriter, business mogul, and reality show star hails from the lush and citrus-scented city of Avon Park, Fla.
Recognized at a very young age of possessing the ability to hold a note by his musical family, Mays hit the music scene carving out his own blueprint in the music industry. Although his musical influences are many, he points to poignant artists like Earth, Wind, & Fire, Jonathan Butler, Babyface, and his twin brother Javis.
"I've been singing alongside my twin brother who is a gospel artist since we were kids," Mays said. "However, I realized that I had a gift to sing to the world around the age of 17. I started recording my own music about three years ago."
Mays released his first single, "Beautiful Love," in 2015. It caught the ears of influential people in the music industry and launched him into the arena of emerging indie artists. His second highly-anticipated single, "Can I get a Witness," was released in 2016 and earned him a sizeable following. Mays released his third single, "Attitude," from his greatly anticipated EP scheduled to be released in Summer 2019.
While his music continues to push all boundaries and limits, Mays landed roles on two new reality shows: "TheAmaySingTwins" and "Industry Guys."
"I have learned that I am responsible for myself as an artist," Jarvis added. "This industry is cut throat, so I need to be aware of my audiences and the people whom I choose to do business. I have also learned that I need to write and own my material as much as possible."
Mays has found additional success in his professional life. As a Senior Project Manager, he brings more than ten years of experience in managing the successful delivery of software implementation projects. Mays has extensive knowledge of client management, change management, requirements gathering and data analysis, resource assignments, process improvements, and team leadership.
Mays earned a Master's degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Florida A&M University.
"In the next five years, I would love to be touring the world full-time and sharing my music with everyone who will listen," he said. "Hopefully my music can inspire people to find love, end bad relationships, fall in love with themselves, and overall just feel good."
Jarvis is active on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter with the handle @jarvismays. You can also learn more about him by visiting www.jarvismays.com

Here's a thought: if your house was burning, what would you take with you? These charming little arrangements are made by contributors from all over the world, and then posted to The Burning House. They're snapshots about what's valuable, sentimental, beautiful and practical. Or maybe they're just expressions about people's 'personal brands' and the objects they feel best represent them.

The Decemberists
I've recently taken a liking to the folklore-esque music by The Decemberists, an indie band from Portland, Oregon. Today I thought I'd have a look around to see if their album and poster art are as creative and intriguing as their music... and happily, it is. Seems that the band employs a host of illustrators and designers for their many shows, and the result is a varying and charming collection of posters from around the world, which is apparently continuing to build.

Off I go. I have joined the pack and created a lane on the Internet for my niche glory. Finding a niche market was simple enough. I tossed a coin through my multiple passions and came up with something I might be able to organize a few words around.
I decided on a well worn niche in photography. Bought a domain. Added it to my hosting. Installed WordPress. Added a crappy theme. Installed Yoast for SEO. Configured that mess. Got everything pointed at Google Search Console. Wrote an About page. Made a post. Blah, blah, blah.
The fun begins when I've got about 10-20 posts written. Then I can start thinking about web design. Right now the minimalism of twenty-fifteen is really retro. I like it. Nobody is visiting that garbage pile so who cares what it looks like. Best to just concentrate on putting some words on the posts in a meaningful arrangement for Google's interest.
Fill the Niche Site With Content
If I was really smart I'd start collecting emails from visitor one. But I don't really have anything to offer and just getting this thing launched and writing a batch of posts is enough to deal with. And I think I mentioned that I was basically lazy. No? Well then. I'm lazy.
Happy with finding a niche market I can proceed to scattering words on the screen. Right now it's all about filling up the blog with content. I plan on writing a couple of lengthy posts a week along with curating meaningful information on my topic of choice.
Ideas for Niche Content
I am a fan of Feedly. I've dropped a bucketload of RSS feeds in my account in relation to my niche. It is a great source of content ideas along with articles that I can curate onto my site.
Another idea for content creation is scrolling through You Tube videos. I've created numerous articles from watching videos and then summarizing what I heard into a blog post. Adding my own insights will flesh the post out making it unique.
Content. This is where the hoof meets the trail. Will I have the ambition to resume the wreckage? Maybe. Dropping a few articles on the site over a couple weeks is easy. It won't be that fun in a month when I'm staring at an editor with "237 words" at the bottom and searching for another 200 well organized words.
But of course that's why if I remember my brief time in Level 1 training in the awful realm of Wealth Affiliate (more on that later) something about passion was discussed.
…the core of your niche selection it should be something that you "like". Something you enjoy.
Finding a niche market sucked. The coin tossed it was time to find something better to do.
I decided to watch "Yellowstone".

The N.B.A. on Wednesday awarded a five-year contract extension to Commissioner Adam Silver that will keep him in charge of the league through the 2023-24 season.
Silver succeeded David Stern as commissioner on Feb. 1, 2014, after Silver had served an eight-year stint as Stern's deputy commissioner.
The contract extension was announced by Larry Tanenbaum of the Toronto Raptors, who is the chairman of the N.B.A. Board of Governors. Silver's contract was originally set to expire after the 2018-19 season.
The N.B.A. has enjoyed one of its most consistent periods of growth under Silver, fueled largely by a nine-year, $24.1 billion television deal that took effect at the beginning of the 2016-17 season. The league has also established a new attendance record in four successive seasons; 22.1 million fans attended its games in 2017-18.
Silver also presided over the league's successful negotiations on a new seven-year labor agreement with the N.B.A. Players Association in December 2016.
Less than three months into his tenure, Silver issued a lifetime ban of the former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and forced the sale of the team after Sterling was recorded making racist comments.
Silver, 56, joined the league in 1992 as part of its N.B.A. Entertainment arm.
