Red Bumps on the Forearm
Red bumps on the forearms can appear for a variety of reasons. Among them are certain medical conditions or contact with specific items and substances. These bumps, which can also appear on other areas of the body, can be painful, irritating and may even be a symptom of a serious medical problem. Therefore, it's important to understand what conditions can trigger rash-like bumps and how they can be treated. If the bumps appear only on the forearms, it is probably because the arms have come into contact with an irritant, such as poison ivy or a chemical in soap or lotion.
The MedlinePlus website explains that red bumps on the forearm can change the texture and color of a person's skin. Bumps can be clustered together or widely spread across the arm. They may be accompanied by scaling, itching and the formation of thicker patches of skin. The bumps can be painful and tender to the touch. In addition, they can ooze a pus-like fluid that crusts over on the skin as the bump heals.
Possible Causes
According to the KidsHealth website, red bumps that appear on the forearm can be the result of a skin conditions or reactions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. In addition, a rash can develop if a person comes into contact with an allergenic material such as poison oak, nickel, hair dye, rubber or sumac. Red bumps can also be triggered by irritants such as harsh soaps, laundry detergents, chemicals and even excessive exposure to the sun.
To treat red forearm bumps, wash your skin gently with warm water and as little soap as possible. Then apply a calamine lotion or 1 percent hydrocortisone cream. This can soothe the rash and add moisture to the skin. For skin conditions like psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema, a doctor can prescribe a prescription strength topical cream or oral antibiotic. Bath products that contain oatmeal can also help relieve rash symptoms.
To prevent the development of rashes, limit contact with allergens or irritating products. A doctor or dermatologist can run appropriate tests to help identify which allergens or irritating product is causing the problem. If the rash is itchy, refrain from scratching it or you could cause the formation of a scar or infection. Because stress can make rashes worse, relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation can be beneficial.
The KidsHealth website warns that some rashes can be a sign of a serious allergic reaction. Seek emergency medical attention if the red bumps are accompanied by facial swelling, tightness in the throat, shortness of breath or the development of hive-like bumps. In addition, tell a doctor if the rash turns purple. A shot of epinephrine may be required immediately to stop the allergic reaction.

London, 9 April 2018 – The UK, Germany and Spain are the three most attractive hotel investment destinations in Europe, with more than two-thirds (69%) of investors identifying these markets as the preferred countries for hotel investment in 2018, according to CBRE's European Hotel Investor Intentions Survey 2018.
The UK has retained its position as the most sought-after destination in Europe for hotel real estate investment in 2018. 35% of respondents selected the UK as their target market for hotel investment, up by 106% from 2017.
The UK's number one spot was reinforced by a record year for hotel investment which saw the UK register €6.2bn, a 39% increase year-on-year, and the highest hotel investment volume of all the European countries in 2017.
Germany was identified as the second most attractive market favoured by 18% of respondents. The German hotel sector has experienced strong market fundamentals, coupled with favourable financing conditions and this is set to continue in 2018. Spain was ranked third by 16% of respondents and saw the highest year-on-year growth in investment volumes on a country-level in 2017. France was fourth with 8% of respondents and Ireland jumped to fifth place, alongside Italy with 6%.
Poland and the Czech Republic have entered the top 10 in 2018. Poland was ranked ninth with the Czech Republic moving from 12th to 10th place. Eastern European markets are being increasingly targeted by the more opportunistic funds because of robust performance growth over the past few years.
Paul Collins, Head of Hotel Investment properties for UK & Ireland, commented: "The UK is attracting a wide range of international investors seeking opportunities in key cities such as London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Investor appetite for quality regional hotels will remain resilient and despite the UK's impending withdrawal from the European Union, our survey results suggest that any restrictions to the growth of UK investment volumes are more likely to be because of restricted supply rather than a reduction in demand for hotel assets."
In a clear reflection of the gathering strength for European hotel investment, 94% of respondents cited that they are planning to invest either the same or more capital into hotel real estate in 2018 compared to 2017. This highlights the growing attractiveness of hotels amongst an increasingly diverse investor base.
The annual report, now in its second year, also found that 38% of respondents are targeting predominantly gateway cities with capital cities falling slightly behind with 36%, secondary cities ranked third with 16%, followed by resort locations with 9%. This could be attributed to the shortage of investible stock in major European Capital cities, and the low yield environment across prime cities, which is prompting investors to look further afield.
The results of this survey are based on responses from 336 respondents all of whom have a significant interest in the hotel asset class.

Hunting horn
RHINOS are doomed to extinction unless the ban on international trade in their horns is lifted, South African wildlife consultant Michael 't Sas-Rolfes claimed last week. He was speaking at the Institute of Economic Affairs, a right-wing think-tank in London.
He said demand for horns, in traditional Chinese medicines and as decorative handles for Yemeni daggers, will continue despite the ban because it is so firmly rooted in the culture of those countries.
Africa's two species of rhino appear in Appendix 1 of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, a listing which bans all trade in any part of the animal. But this has failed to stop poaching, said 't Sas-Rolfes, and the only way to save the rhinos is to remove them from the list.
The rhinos could then be kept as ranch animals and their horns removed. This would give local people a financial incentive to stop poaching and provide funds for further conservation projects. African governments hold enough legal stocks of rhino horn to meet demand for twenty years without harming living rhinos, said 't Sas-Rolfes.

How much does Amazon commoditize products?
Amazon has essentially commoditized a large number of products. When shopping Amazon, each listing looks nearly the same, with each element of the listing suiting Amazon's policies. This changes how products are purchased. You can't ignore Amazon, which is why we typically advocate for independent ecommerce businesses to leverage Amazon, while also working to build their own direct communication and sales channel with their customers.

American holly
Deck the Halls
I consider our American holly (Ilex opaca) – not the English holly (Ilex aquifolium) – our signature holly of Christmas. It can be found growing wild from Massachusetts south to Florida and west to Texas and Missouri and north to Tennessee and Indiana. It¹s commonly found as an understory tree, growing in mixed hardwood forests in a variety of habitats that include dry woodlands, stream and creek banks, and even swamps.
American holly grows slowly, which is unfortunate for nursery producers and consumers. Nevertheless, it was introduced into the trade in 1744 and presently, there are more than 1,000 cultivars. Some cultivars will exceed 50 ft. in height, while others, such as 'Maryland Dwarf,' grows 3-5 ft. high and 8 ft. wide. The fruit on female American hollies is commonly red, but some cultivars bear orange or yellow berries.
In the past, people in Germany and England called the prickly holly varieties "he-hollies" and the smooth-leaved kinds "she-hollies." (Interestingly, English hollies produce out-of-reach, smooth-margined adult leaves at the top of mature trees.) The type of leaf brought indoors determined who was to dominate the home in the upcoming year. If the holly leaf had a smooth margin, the wife was in charge. (She should be if she was able to reach the spineless leaves in the uppermost reaches of the tree). If the holly was prickly, the husband ruled the roost for the year.
So, while some of you are contemplating the gender of the hollies in your landscape or neighborhood, I am heading outside to remove a few of the lower branches of my American hollies in the backyard. It's not too late to deck the halls with boughs of prickly he-holly sprigs.

Web coupon deals are all the rage right now. With sites like Groupon, CouponCabin, and Couponmom, finding on-line deals has become a daily ritual for many people. It can be fun, addicting, and can really save you some money.
A pair of local entrepreneurs here in Connecticut are jumping on the savings band wagon and have created their own coupon deal website called SavingsClique.com.
Ryan Duques and James Warner have been a fixture in the business community on the shoreline since the young age of 16. They started a local news paper company in 1994 when they were in high school and have since expanded their business savvy into many different areas.
SavingsClique.com is the latest of their business ventures. Duques said that they were intrigued by the popularity of the daily deal style sites and wanted to give it more of a local focus. The site will feature deals from local businesses, restaurants and service providers.
Once the site gets rolling, Duques hopes to expand into other areas of Connecticut.
"People will be able to select their region and find deals that are extremely nearby," Duques said. "Someone in Killingworth isn't going to want to drive to a bakery in New London."
The website officially launched Wednesday. The first deal offered was $10 for $20 worth of merchandise at Bishop's Orchards Market in Guilford.

"Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see"
– One Republic – Stop and Stare
Sometimes I wonder if being copasetic about who you are and where you are in life is actually a gift. I contemplate about how my life would be different if I stayed in North Carolina and never moved to New York. I moved to the city because of my burning desire to work in the fashion industry and to prove to myself that I have the creative ability to manipulate clothes. Tonight the thought of being where I want to be in my career hurts because I feel like I'm going nowhere. My passion aches and I wish I could just be satisfied.

I applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (New York, NY (US)).
Overall a very nice and fairly easy interview. I talked to the branch manager and he is very sweet, not demanding at all. Because this is already the second interview, he knows my qualification very well. this interview is mainly on why would I want to work for Fidelity, not other company. We had a nice talk and I liked the working environment there.
Interview Questions
I applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Denver, CO (US)).
Easy and straight forward. First round was an online questionnaire, second was a 15 minute phone interview with a recruiter and the last round was in person with two managers. The process took about four to five weeks. After my final interview I received a call from HR offering me the job but with no start date! They told me it would be a couple of weeks until they could figure a date out. Weeks turned into months and I never heard back from them. Very disappointing and misleading.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Westlake, TX (US)) in December 2016.
Online Exam (personality and math), phone interview and in person interview. At the in person interview I took two exams . The in person interview was difficult but all the questions the asked were posted on glass door. Their questions were extremely long and they are looking for specific answers
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (American Fork, UT (US)) in November 2012.
Applied online. got a call from the hr rep in texas. was given a basic description of the job and set up a time for a phone interview. the phone interview was unreal. All behavioral based questions. I would answer them and she said she felt like I wasn't answering her question... ok? she told me to take a day and study behavioral based questions. she called back the next day asking the same questions and me answering the questions what i feel like were very similar to those i gave the day before. she liked them enough to set me up for a face to face interview. The face to face went great. two really great managers interviewed me for a little over an hr. behavioral based questions again. the interview ended with a test which took 30 min or so.

I applied online. The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Albuquerque, NM (US)) in November 2013.
Another name for this position is "Financial Advisor"
I applied online a month prior to getting a call from a recruiter. The recruiter scheduled a phone interview, which took place within a week. The phone interview took about an hour. The questions were mostly behavioral, but she also asked some details about my previous work experience. She gave me an overview of the position, the compensation and benefits and gave me the opportunity to ask questions. She was very friendly and helpful. Before my face to face interview I had to fill out a profile on their website, which included exact dates of my last positions, my prior salaries, and the contact info for my references. This task had a deadline, and the recruiter told me that mine was completed properly.
The face to face interview was scheduled about a week later, but had to be rescheduled on their end, so it was 2 weeks later. The entire process took 3 hours, but began with a presentation about the company, about our location, past present and future, and the core values. I was there with a group of about 8 people. Next we had a tour of the facility and some took a short break. Then, the hiring managers came to greet us, and each candidate went with two hiring managers to a small interview room. I think this took about an hour. They had about 20 behavioral questions. Finally there was a very short role play session where I answered the phone and pretend to help someone who is calling with a problem.
From the entire process, I learned that they are looking for friendly candidates with enthusiasm, professionalism, communicative, the strong desire to help people and a good knowledge of modern technology (software, web, computers, mobile) and also the ability to self train. They are also looking for people who have experience or would do well working on a team.
I also learned that they make an effort to train you well for this job position so I was at ease with not having prior customer service experience.
When it was over, I was told I would be contacted within 10 days regardless of the decision. The next day I got a call from the recruiter and was offered the job. On Monday I will have a call with someone who will arrange for me to sign the offer and arrange for a drug test. I won't be able to start the job for another two months. They have set start dates.
Overall, I was very impressed by the entire process, and the professionalism of everyone I met at Fidelity. The entire process from application to interview took a month and a half.
Interview Questions
There is no discussion about benefits or salary during the face to face interview, but this is discussed with the recruiter, and there is no negotiation. They will offer you a salary based on your prior experience and prior salary.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Albuquerque, NM (US)) in February 2016.
I was contacted by email to see if I was still interested in the position. I was contacted by a lady who described the job and asked if I was still interested after the description. I said I was and she asked very specific questions regarding past experiences. After a question, she suddenly said she wanted to tell me the status of the interview and then suddenly told me basically they were not interested and good luck.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Los Angeles, CA (US)) in February 2015.
Met two local branch managers at a college career fair, talked with them, and gave them my resume. Three weeks later I was asked to come for an in-person interview at one of the branches. I interviewed directly with the branch manager of that location who asked me questions about why I was interested in financial services, and quite a few questions of the "Tell me about a time when you had to deal with an upset co-worker or customer and how you handled the situation?" variety. We also roleplayed an interaction with an upset customer where I had to demonstrate professionalism and identify and address the core issue the "customer" was having. We also briefly discussed my familiarity with investing and they talked in depth about the certification process.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 3+ weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (New York, NY (US)) in July 2013.
Very straight forward. Had to do an online aptitude test. Everyone was very kind, and HR made it simple. Went on 3 rounds of in person interviews. Seemed like there was a lot of upward mobility and in house learning opportunities. Senior staff seemed very kind and willing to help.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Merrimack, NH (US)) in July 2015.
Started with a phone interview, then met with someone from the hiring department, then your third process is meeting with two hiring managers. When you meet with the person from the hiring department, it is generally pretty easy, it did not last very long at all, she asked me about my resume and what I knew about Fidelity. My third interview with the two hiring managers was another story. One of the hiring managers seemed to be new or training to be a manager (he was the one asking the questions), and there was another hiring manager (a little older, and he was basically studying me the whole time). That individual interview only lasted a few minutes (they only have a maximum of 10 minutes with you anyways). Always being two copies of a resume and stress customer service if you are interviewing for the same position as a financial advisor (customer service).

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has included an additional $5 million for the Armenian American Museum to be constructed in Glendale in his May revised 2019-20 budget.
The extra funding follows a meeting between a Newsom representative and the museum's board of directors that was initiated by state Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge).
Newsom's proposed budget seeks to increase the state's investment in the museum to $8 million, up from $3 million initially.
"I'm ecstatic and extremely thankful to Gov. Newsom and policy director Anthony Williams for recognizing the overwhelming merit and momentum behind this amazing museum," Portantino said in a statement.
The Armenian American Museum and Cultural Center is slated to be built in Central Park in Glendale in the city's downtown area.
"This is wonderful news for our community and the state of California," said Shant Sahakian, executive director of the Armenian American Museum.
Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian said the City Council is eager to see the museum come to fruition.
"We can't thank the governor enough for recognizing and grasping the importance of this effort and stepping up with additional funds to make it a reality," Najarian said.
Newsom's May revised budget will be reviewed by both houses of the state legislature before the mid-June constitutional deadline for possible passage.

VickyWatch Classic - Jenny Frost
Back in 2004, the world had just managed to regain a foothold on its axis after the split of Atomic Kitten. 'We' were 'all' wondering what the girls would do next. Thankfully, Vicky was there to tell us. Ready?
She will release her debut single in August (2004). Nope, it was more than a year later that any solo material appeared.
She was the first signing to ex-Atomic Kitten manager Martin O'Shea's record label 'Integral'. Nope. The label was called 'Integral RPM' for a start, and had 5 other acts signed to it at the time the article was written. Nor was the label "...hastily set up..." - it had been running for over a year at that point.
Record label called in ex-Deconstruction Records man Keith Blackhurst to help out. He was already involved in the label before Ms Frost was signed.
Jenny's ex-bandmate Liz McLarnon was being wooed by two major labels and due to be signed by BMG "...within days...". Never happened - she signed to independent dance label All Around The World (the same one Jenny Frost ended up on funnily enough) and didn't release any material until 2006.
That was quite a bad one, Vic!

Republican lawmakers and former GOP Gov. Scott Walker enacted a set of laws in December aimed at curtailing the power of newly elected Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul. The "lame-duck" laws are being challenged legally by several groups. Here's a look at how the story has developed over time.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday sided with the GOP-controlled Legislature in upholding laws that curb the power of Democratic Gov. Tony …
The order effectively reduced the power of the attorney general to drop out of or settle cases.
The court's eventual ruling in the case, which takes issue with how GOP legislators convened in December to pass the controversial legislation, will have significant implications for the balance of power in state government.
Three weeks ago a Wisconsin appeals court sided with Evers, ruling that he had the authority to withdraw the appointments.
The state's highest court in a split decision opted to take up the appeal of the case voluntarily, without a motion from any of the parties involved, a relatively rare move.
The court granted the plaintiffs' request to circumvent the state Court of Appeals and set up a swift timeline scheduling oral arguments in one month.
The ruling, coming at the end of a chaotic day featuring discord between Evers and GOP leaders, was a minor setback for Republicans in a broader legal battle bound for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
While most of those Gov. Scott Walker appointees would be able to resume their roles, 15 positions, including some higher-profile appointees, remain in limbo, including UW System Regent Scott Beightol and Ellen Nowak, who served as commissioner of the Public Service Commission. Evers did not include those positions on the list of re-appointments.
One of former Gov. Scott Walker's appointees tried to return to her job Thursday after a state appellate court stayed a court ruling invalidating her appointment and dozens — only to be turned away at the door.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and GOP lawmakers sparred Wednesday about who is at fault for the chaos and clashed over the status of 82 state government appointments made by former Gov. Scott Walker.
Judge Frank D. Remington issued the ruling Tuesday in Dane County Circuit Court.
The second lawsuit contends the laws violate the state constitution's separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches.
The governor said some of the appointments could include people former Gov. Scott Walker appointed.
GOP lawmakers ask appeals court to reverse ruling halting laws limiting powers of Tony Evers, Josh Kaul
In the request filed Friday morning, Misha Tseytlin, an attorney for GOP lawmakers, argued the "indefensible injunction" issued by a Dane County judge Thursday "is already causing serious harm to our state."
Judge blocks GOP lame-duck laws limiting Tony Evers' powers; Evers seeks to remove Wisconsin from Obamacare challenge
Republican legislative leaders promised to swiftly appeal the ruling by Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess.
Judge Richard Niess' heard more than two hours of oral arguments between the parties on whether the Legislature acted within its authority when it passed laws curtailing the governor's and attorney general's authority.
The intervention, which is pending a committee vote, reflects a broader strategy Republican lawmakers are taking to circumvent a Democratic attorney general they distrust to defend the state's laws faithfully.
Evers' attorneys said he supports a request by a group of unions in one of the other legal challenges to the GOP laws, asking a judge to block parts of them from taking effect.
Kaul's statement comes as a coalition of 16 states, including neighboring Illinois and Minnesota, announced Monday they would challenge Trump in court over his plan to call a national emergency to secure billions of dollars for a border barrier.
In an interview with the Wisconsin State Journal, Kaul rejected the notion he would take any action to prevent the success of the multi-state suit, such as refusing to cooperate with other involved states.
Kaul, speaking to reporters, didn't directly say he wouldn't defend the state against the suit brought Monday by several unions. But he referenced a similar suit brought by the League of Women Voters in which he declined to represent the state due to perceived conflict.
Unions bringing the suit are Service Employees International Union, Milwaukee Area Service and Hospitality Workers, American Federation of Teachers and Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals.
Evers will spend as much as $50,000 to hire private attorneys to represent him in the lawsuit, brought by the League of Women Voters and other groups.
Tony Evers: Despite confusion, 'no reversal' on my handling of state's legal fight against Obamacare
"In my worldview, and I know that's not everyone's worldview, there's nothing inconsistent with what I said and what's actually going to happen," Evers said.
The Department of Justice made a formal request to withdraw the state from the ACA suit, which the Legislature is now considering.
A nonpartisan state agency lawyer's memo stated there is no legal way for the new governor to fulfill his campaign promise to withdraw the state from the suit.
U.S. District Judge James Peterson said that parts of the lame duck legislation passed by the Legislature in December and signed by Gov. Scott Walker violate a court order he issued in 2016.
Grunze said the lawsuit will be filed in Dane County Circuit Court Thursday morning.
Republican state leaders appeared to have been caught off-guard by the fierce, bipartisan backlash to the proposals.
It could be the first of many legal challenges to laws enacted in a recent lame-duck session.
Gov. Scott Walker signed all three sweeping lame-duck bills into law in Green Bay on Friday, concluding a last-ditch effort by GOP legislators to roll back some of the next governor's authority.
The outgoing governor said he is considering a line-item veto for at least one provision, but wouldn't say what.
GOP lawmakers vote in wee hours to pass lame-duck bill curtailing powers of governor, attorney general
The vote was 17-16, with Sen. Rob Cowles, R-Allouez, the lone GOP "no" vote. The bill now heads to the state Assembly.
The Republican Legislature passed the bills limiting the powers of the governor and attorney general after an all-night session.
It remained unclear if portions of the plan have support in the state Senate.
Kaul, in an interview with the Wisconsin State Journal Sunday, urged lawmakers to reconsider passing the bills introduced Friday he characterized as undemocratic, fiscally irresponsible and harmful for public safety.
Assembly Republicans are considering a slew of other changes to elections, taxes, transportation funding and health care protections for its lame-duck session.

Bitcoin's Price Falls Below $10K Amid Wider Crypto Drop
Originally published on: CoinDesk
Read the original article
January 30, 2018
The price of bitcoin is down more than 10% today, having slipped below $10,000 amid wider weakness in the cryptocurrency market, according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index (BPI).
Price data shows that, as of press time, the price of bitcoin is trading at $9,992.12, representing a decline of roughly 9.9%. Overall, the price of bitcoin is down more than $1,100 since Tuesday's session began.
The cryptocurrency's price had been trading above $11,000 since Saturday when it briefly went below that level. After bouncing around that figure this morning, bitcoin slid below $11,000 around 9:15 UTC.
Other cryptocurrencies have taken a hit today as well.
According to information from sites like CoinMarketCap and OnChainFX, the prices of all of the top-10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization (which is the spot price of the token multiplied by the total amount of tokens in circulation) have fallen in the past 24 hours. These include NEM, EOS and Cardano, per info from CMC, all of which have shed at least 10% in value since yesterday.
The price of NEM's XEM token has been particularly hard-hit today, coming in the wake of a dramatic $500 million hack from Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck. A new report from Reuters published today indicates that some of the XEM tokens stolen are being sent to exchanges in order to be sold.

Darts fans will be packing into the Metro Radio Arena in February as the 10 players involved in the 2017 Betway Premier League get cracking.
And it sounds like people have been doubling, or evening trebling their efforts when it comes to buying tickets.
Here's all you need to know about next week's event.
When is the opening night of the 2017 Betway Premier League in Newcastle?
The Metro Radio Arena will play host to the tournament on the evening of Thursday, February 2.
Who's playing who in Newcastle?
The opening night of the season will feature a rematch of the recent World Championship final between Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson, which the Dutchman won in a thrilling contest.
Also on the tournament bill at the Arena is former World Champions Raymond van Barneveld and Adrian Lewis, with 2009 Premier League champion James Wade meeting Kim Huybrechts on the Belgian's return to the event.
There's also another player making his second Premier League appearance. Jelle Klaasen will open against world number three Peter Wright, and the legendary 16-time World Champion Phil Taylor plays Dave Chisnall.
What are the timings for the evening?
The Arena website is listing 7pm as the start time, but exact timings for the matches haven't been confirmed yet.
Can I still get tickets?
In two words, probably not. There are currently no tickets available from the Arena ticket partner Eventim. This darts lark is apparently a popular pastime.
There are apparently a few tickets left on Viagogo, but you'll have to be quick. On the double!
Our sources at the Arena say it's always worth keeping an eye on the website for news of any returns, but there's a good chance that if you haven't got your tickets now, you'll be watching the action on the telly.
If I have got tickets, is there anything I should know before setting off for the evening?
YES! Namely this pretty amazing list of Premier League Darts restrictions. I'm just going to leave a selection of these here for your information, and in some cases, entertainment.

Women can't be happy with the status quo. They're made this way, the way same cats instinctually bury their turds women refuse to accept "the way things are". No matter what they feel that their surroundings should be changed, "improved".
During prehistoric times we were all hunter-gathers so women had to constantly seek out sources of food. In modern times, once they get back from the grocery they still have the urge to seek and lack an outlet for this instinctual drive, which is also why women can not put anything back where they found them (they enjoy looking for things).
This love of change is the reason why there are so few successful female entrepreneurs (check it out, only 20% of business with revenue over 1 million dollars are female owned). The number of business owning women is emphasized while the successful part is casually brushed aside. Most of the women are obviously going in circles spending more time changing things than making money.
Honestly, women would have had the right to vote hundreds of years earlier if they just hadn't kept changing their minds about how to get that right. The reason slaves got the right to vote before women is because men lead that movement and it stayed on track. It is no suprise that a black man became president before a woman.
I am not saying that women's opinions don't matter, I'm just saying listening to them is like a sniper using buckshot; some shot will be on target but most are going to miss.
Today we have the Old Pagan/ Grausamkeit split from 2000, both german bands were solo-projects playing fast lo-fi black metal. This release was limited to 166 cassettes (Metallum) and Old Pagan has since been joined by other members, further devolving their sound.
This analog split is one of the first German Black Metal releases that I really enjoy and, refreshingly, a new split that can be termed "true black metal", 90%.

She stared at her made-up face.
Her reflection at the full-length mirror stared right back at her.
"Not bad, not at all."
Especially for someone above 45.
'Kirti Ma'am, this colour really suits you, and with such a gorgeous look, you don't seem a day over 35.'
The woman at the parlour had remarked, after applying a rich shade of burgundy on her hair.
A soft smile lit up her face at the mere thought of a name, Pranit.
The 6 feet, bespectacled, handsome hunk, who of all the ladies in the bank, chose me, she wondered.
Yes, but then, she has always been known for her personality
She had fallen for it all, his admiring glances when she entered the bank, the way he stole looks at her and the SMSs.
The one that started for her—the day she was late.
A simple message—"All is well? I got worried".
It was a long time since someone really worried about her.
And the day she wore that orange sari, he sent her the image of a rose on Whatsapp.
He is just a friend, she chided herself.
You are 45 and he is 33.
No, he is not yet married, but you are. For a good 19 years.
And you have a 16-year-old son to prove it.
True, but for her family, she is just a giver, who does everything without any expectations. Praise, applause and admiration simply don't exist in the dictionary of Satish and Shuvam.
A month back, Pranit joined the bank where Kirti works as a personal manager and the chief told her to teach him the ropes.
It was no big deal when he was assigned to her. The young Probationary Officer needed to be groomed and readied for the slaughter house, i.e., the bank.
And she was the best person to train him. Kirti had been living in cloud 9 since then.
She had groomed a lot of people who joined the bank before him. She has always been an asset to the company, valued by everyone for her people skills, her intuition and her judgments.
But Pranit was different. He hung on to her every word, making notes of what she said and did.
The tall, fair and handsome North Indian guy's style and mannerisms caught Kirti unawares.
Simple hellos were followed by regular small talk over tea. Those led to shared lunches.
They enjoyed long leisure lunches in the office, mostly cooked by Kirti in the mornings and fruits provided by Pranit along with profuse compliments on her looks, culinary skills and her attractive persona.
All this made Kirti happy.
Pranit instantly understood her humour. In fact, once she heard him remarking to the assistant:
'Ma'am's husband is a lucky man. It is great to have a life partner who has this great sense of humour, makes life interesting.'
No doubt, these days she looks more at her smartphone than the TV while watching it.
No doubt she compares her 53-year-old engineer husband with that comfortable paunch with the suave, sleek-looking Pranit.
No doubt, she is getting up too early in the mornings to prepare the luncheon spread to be taken to the office.
No doubt, she has invested a good amount in a world-class hot case to carry the tiffin and keep it piping hot.
But, Kirti is happier than before.
Someone has made her feel attractive, wanted and cared for, after many years.
Excerpted from the story The 40s, part of the anthology Defiant Dreams: Tales of Everyday Divas, selected for Oprah's Book Club 2.0 and now available on the Juggernaut app here.

Introduction|Intro|Background} Email Campaign Software
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. Email Campaign Software
But first, I want to say"thank you" into Alex Becker, the founder of Market Hero.
I began watching Alex Becker's YouTube videos back in 2016. He taught me that a bunch of things about entrepreneurship marketing, and the best way to run a Shopify shop.
It was right around the time that Alex released his book, The 10 Pillars of Household: Mind-Sets of The World's Richest People. I got that book once I saw it and I jumped to emphasize it and mark it up. I could go re-read it as soon as I finish this.
Actually, Market Hero is not even his sole multi-million dollar business. The SEO software development firm Source Wave was also founded by him and he's running a nutritional supplement brandnew. He's also got a couple of classes out there in the market teaching individuals to grow their email lists and market more about Shopify.
The dude is a freaking machine. My hat off to you, Alex.

What Is Market Hero?
Anyhow, Market Hero is among the best email Autoresponders available on the market nowadays and it's so much better than its competitors because it focuses on revenue metrics.
I have used a bunch of email autoresponder software over the years, including MadMimi and Drip. Drip has been my favorite up until I started using Market Hero. Drip allows you to perform lots of stuff that is cool, like monitor your open rates and tag your readers.
But if you are anything like me, as you care about open prices and click-through prices, the thing that matters is SALES. Sales are the lifeblood of your enterprise and sales is what places cold, hard cash in your pocket. Market Hero helps you track sales, plain and simple.
Market Hero Support
While I didn't have to use Market Hero service that They return to me much since everything is, the couple times I did reach them out. Email Campaign Software
The service is not great to the point where they supply you with detailed step-by-step videos and also hold your hand through every step along the way, however it is not terrible. If you need that level of hand-holding and coddling, possibly Market Hero is not for you.
Market Hero has English-speaking support staff available to answer your questions through live chat at no cost. Like some unscrupulous companies do, you do not have to be a part of any plan or package that is updated to possess priority service. You just log in and start chatting.
Could Market Hero Really 4X Your Business?
On Market Hero's homepage You'll see states,"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 are doing.
But Market Hero offers a free trial, and so I figured I would sign up and see if it was any good. I guessed I only need a little increase in earnings for Market Hero to pay for itself and if it did 4X my enterprise, I'd be flying high.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure I really do want to tell you that Market Hero has NOT improved my sales 4X (yet), but I am getting more earnings than before and Market Hero IS paying for itself. Easily, actually. I had my own email game tight and was doing well, so that I knew a 4X increase could be rough.
But if you are new to email marketing or if you've got a smaller internet business, Market Hero could probably 4X your sales. Here's the way:
It tracks your customers' lifetime value.
I know I already mentioned this, but the secret to Market Hero is how it retains your customers' lifetime value (LTV) facing you constantly and it changes as you send out emails and tweak your autoresponder. Once you know your customer worth, you can literally"buy" clients. What Market Hero does is each conversion for every guide on your listing and track every sale. It gives you and averages everything together.
If you were to do this manually, you would most likely have to experience different programs, various spreadsheets, and go back through your previous sales. You may have to crunch on a great deal of numbers which you don't have anymore. Market Hero simplifies this issue better than anyone else available on the industry.
You can section using tags.
Sign up for the free trial : Market Hero
I know that you're probably thinking,"Tags? Okay… big thing." But the manner that Market Hero allows you to use tags is better. This is why…
Let's say that I am running two different opt-in campaigns for the same audience. Anyone who opts-in to the very first campaign will be labeled as"A" and anyone who opts-in to the next campaign will be tagged as"B".
I will enter Market Hero and filter out all of the"B" opt-ins and find out how much they are worth in contrast to"A" opt-ins. If I find out that the"B" opt-ins are making more money, I know that I should be pouring more advertising dollars into advertising the"B" opt-in. Email Campaign Software
If you do so again and again, you can create a powerful business as you'll always be split-testing to determine which types of individuals are worth more to your enterprise.
And getting this up and running will be super-easy too. All you have to do is take the pixel which Market Hero provides you and put it in the areas which you would like to track. From there, Market Hero will keep tabs on all of your customers, sales, conversions, etc. to give you the information which you need to grow your organization.
You can integrate with a lot of different 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 much more.
I think that this is a smart move by Alex Becker since it shows he understands his market. He knows that are using things like this and he wants to make sure his software integrates.
My only criticism is that lots of the software I use, such as OptinMonster and Thrive Themes has not yet been put in the"integrations" tab. That does not mean you CAN'T integrate thembecause you can (you use Zapier to make them talk to each other) but it's not quite as simple as something like ClickFunnels or even Shopify.
Speaking of Shopify…
How Is This Different From Autoresponders?
The best method for me to explain it is that all of The email autoresponders were created for email marketers. Their thinking has its limits and I send emails to my list on a daily basis, although I've nothing against marketers that are email. Market Hero was constructed by means of a business owner FOR company owners.
Market Hero differs since it gives you a lot of different ways to assist you monitor ROI and generate more profit from your own emails.
For example, one of the coolest features is that it shows you just how much each lead is worth. Imagine logging into 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. Everything you do is that you buy paid visitors from Google, Facebook, etc. and send traffic to a opt-in page. You have a lucrative small business, if it's possible to get a successful opt-in for less money than it is worth. As you can simply wash and repeat as many times.
Additionally, it also allows you to segment your list in much deeper ways compared to other autoresponder services on the market. I used Drip and they have some good segmentation tools, chiefly from the ability to use tags to your prospects like I said, but it is small potatoes compared to Market Hero. I really don't want to give any of Market Hero's proprietary information, but let us just say that you will be pleased with the segmentation ability. Email Campaign Software
Is Market Hero a Scam?
From what I've seen, absolutely not. I think that At this point, by being a scam artist Alex Becker has to lose. A variety of businesses's running and he's smart enough to realize that when he tarnished his reputation, he would be screwed.
From what I have seen, people have complained about his refund policy. However, these people are the ones who have used Market Hero for weeks and try to get their cash. These are the real scammers. If you are not inclined to pay money for a service which can improve your life and your organization, you are scum. Plain and simple.
Market Hero's free trial offer is pretty clear-cut. It says that if you cancel within 14 days anything won't be billed.
Rest assured, gentle reader. Market Hero is legit.
In Case You've Shopify (Or Any Online Business…)
When I started writing this Market Hero review Was worried it went to lean a little too much towards Shopify entrepreneurs. That is why I want to stress that Market Hero will help you in ANY business, not simply Shopify.
On his YouTube station, Alex has published a great deal of different videos about Shopify. You discover that he provides a whole lot of information about how to earn money once you get beyond the clickbait-style titles. Part of this reason is because he wants to get folks to check out Market Hero because he understands it might help them.
By way of example, Market Hero lets you create abandoned cart strings. When someone begins the checkout process in Shopify (by entering their email) but does not complete it, that has monitored in Market Hero. From that point, you get them back to finish their purchase and can follow up with that person.
The capacity to create these abandoned cart sequences is just one of the ways which you can earn 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 internet shop is generally somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-80%. Are there people with abandonment prices? Sure, but this is actually the typical.
Imagine that you have 100 people go through your checkout process and 80 of these people abandon your cart. That means you have 20 clients and 80 non-customers. Imagine if a cart retrieval sequence got a mere 10 percent of this non-customers to buy?
That will get you an extra 8 customers. This means that you would increase your sales 40%! (Because 8 extra sales is 40 percent of the 20 sales you had.)
In the event that you boosted your sales 40 percent, would that justify the investment in Market Hero? But that is not all…
Market Hero also lets you create upsell sequences. Can you create these strings with additional autoresponder softwares? Yes, you can. It's nowhere near as fluid and it will not provide you that lifetime customer value, although I'm completely transparent about that. Email Campaign Software
The reason Market Hero is so strong is because you can apply tags and track LTV. When you connect Market Hero into Shopify, it starts monitoring. Buy tags are implemented that show you that purchased which goods.
Imagine that you have a Shopify shop selling print-on-demand dog shirts. If someone bought a pug shirt, then it would be silly to attempt to market Golden Retriever things to that individual? But that is because they don't have the information in front of them exactly what a lot of entrepreneurs do. Because Market Hero lets you determine what the individual purchased, you can concentrate on selling just stuff.
You can totally geek out with this stuff. You can get as detailed and intricate as you would like. In my business, I use it to segment the topics that financial advisors want to know more about. Because I market products that help financial advisors GET customers and let them KEEP customers, if someone is more interested in KEEPING clients, since they would be irrelevant, I do not need to bombard them with emails about GETTING customers. This individual would eventually unsubscribe.
Oh, and in case you're interested, here is a video of Alex Becker showing you ways to increase your Shopify sales 300% with Market Hero. Just keep in mind the Market Hero may be used with ANY online business, not Shopify.
Market Hero is an awesome email program because It is built for people who are attempting to make money online. In Case You Haven't done So go around there, import your list and make the most of the free trial.
You can't afford to not understand your numbers. That is like Driving blind. You're leaving a huge, if you do not understand your numbers Amount of money 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 your life change? Email Campaign Software

Breivik's April 17 opening statement is now available in Lithuanian.
On the English Breivik Archive we've added some Norwegian Court Documents relating to the July 25 hearing, fairly boring stuff, they're linked from the transcripts section.
As no new letters have become available we've transcribed a Norwegian letter dated 2012-07-02 to Daisy that is slightly more detailed than the letter to Lisa. We've also transcribed the first two pages of the 38-page letter in which Breivik criticizes the first psychiatric report. Next we've collected a series of quotes from the 27-page letter Breivik wrote to the Norwegian Correctional Services containing suggestions for improving his conditions.
On the Norwegian Breivik Archive we've added translations of Breivik's Diary and Breivik's Interview that were included in 2083.
The original Norwegian versions of the new letters available in the English letter section are available on the Norwegian Archive as well.

Many ongoing auditions are held frequently these days but the challenge is to know when they are happening. Many online directories make it easy to locate the audition that suits your interest. Even before looking out for the auditionsyou should be clear regarding your interest. You can participate in many auditions such as acting, dancing, singing, and modeling. The first step is to put the zeal of acting into action. This means proper training and awareness of the specific role in the audition. Once you participate in the auditions, you can know whether it is an open one or a closed one.
In the closed auditions, the directors need the participants to have some specific details. They analyze the applications and the ones that clear the first stage are permitted to attend the acting auditions. The open ones are for the acting auditions for kids with no experience. In this audition, all can attend. This audition attracts many people. Winning in the auditions is dependent on the way you present the case. To make it in the auditions, hire an agent who has got a good knowledge regarding the upcoming auditions. Always apply for the auditions a few days prior to the event because late applications are rejected.
Getting the Auditions for kids
The kids have immense opportunity to participate in the big production houses. Auditions for the kids on the reputed channels are highly competitive. The kids should be prepared and patient for the hard work they need to do for the trial. There are multiple things to get through the auditions. Firstly, you need an agent, training in the acting, the voice lessons, and a resume. Check out about the open casting calls. Several websites are there who are dedicated towards these calls. These are the trial schedules that are open to the public in general. Check an upcoming casting call for your kid.
Necessities of an audition
Headshots are mandatory. Most of the casting directors would request for a photo and a resume. On the resume include the performance of your kid if he does have any prior acting experience. Once all the above-mentioned things are there just submit them to the casting director. Submit the documents only to the casting director and to nobody else. This shall ensure that the headshots and resume have reached to the proper person. Get a talent agent for your kid because he can help him bag a good role for the channels. Make your kid practice the acting and the voice tests as these will prepare him.

The Big Chill
It's absolutely frigid here in the Hamptons! How do you stay warm in this frigid weather? I tend to go for a puffer, it's the only kind of jacket that seems to keep me warm in this arctic weather. I'm thinking I may have to up my puffer game to get me through January and February, and it's not too late there are still plenty of great options out there.

Uniform Survey
We have had 73 surveys returned.
Option 1 - 25 = 34%
Option 2 - 12 = 17%
Option 3 - 17 = 23%
Option 4 - 19 = 26%
1. Keep it the same
2. As 1 with tartan skorts
3. As 1 with tartan skorts and polo shirts for boys and girls
4. Unisex, same all year round, same for PE.
September 2018
Upcoming Uniform Review - suggested process:
Our uniform policy is up for board review in term 1 next year. There will be full community consultation before renewing the policy in 2019. We welcome ideas from the Home and School, or any parents, on uniform modifications. We would be particularly interested in seeing modifications other Catholic schools have made. Please provide ideas/feedback/modifications by the end of week 1 of next term. These should come to me. I will also be asking the whole community for feedback before that date. The board will consider the feedback/forward and some selected ideas will be presented back to the community for further consideration. The Dunedin and Southland Catholic schools have made a joint publicity brochure and are strongly promoting a united image for our Catholic schools (within reason) and so our uniform choices will need to be in keeping with our overall Catholic school connections - which still leaves some room for manuvere.

Year 4-8 Wellbeing Survey
Years 4-8 Wellbeing Survey Term 4 2017
Years 4 to 8 took an extensive online assessment through Wellbeing@school - a Ministry resource. This provided rich data which we have been able to analyse in multiple ways. The results are "normed" that means they are compared against the norm for other schools in New Zealand.
When we do repeated surveys over time we will be able to monitor our own progress. For this first time I have compared our outcomes with the "norm." On the whole we fit closely within the norm. Recorded below are the areas for each part of the survey where we are slightly above or below the norm. These are our first areas of celebration and growth and our next steps will be to address the areas of growth.
The conclusions drawn from the information fit with our own observations and conclusions established from our day to day practice and there were no surprises.
Areas of celebration
- Community connections and home family partnerships are strong, respectful and positive.
- Children know bullying is unacceptable at our school.
- Children say they are taught what behaviours are OK and not OK.
- High inter-cultural respect
- A big social skills and self control intervention in the year 4 class in term 2 this year has paid off with year 4 more positive than the norm and more so than the rest of the school in all areas of wellbeing.
Areas of Concern
Some children recorded that the school rules are not known and not everyone thinks the values are important. They explained they say this because they see some people break the rules and disregard the school values and so they are deducing the rules are unknown and the values not important to some people. When asked, all children are very clear on the school expectations.
Students record that student-initiated interactions are more disrespectful than the norm, particularly name calling and putdowns. Many staff have worked very hard this year to reinforce that this is NOT the culture at St Joseph's. We believe over time we will be able to reinforce this more and more as children who have become accustomed to this sort of interaction leave the school.
Ethnicity and Gender
There was a strong trend throughout the school:
Children of European background had a more negative outlook and recorded more negative answers, the cumulation of which has put the school at or below the norm in certain areas.
Children of Pasifika background were well above the norm for positive wellbeing. Asian children were above the norm.
European boys were more negative than girls whilst for other cultures there was a gender balance in wellbeing.
The non-European children also recorded a stronger sense of respect, values, following school expectations, and family/school connections.
It is only a proportion of the male European group that struggles with school values and it would be easy to say the group needs or wants more male role-modelling and would respect male staff more. In fact, respect and desirable behaviours from this group have increased dramatically this year with an all female staff. Male providers who have come to the school to provide service for other reasons have not consistently been given the respect our female staff is now shown. It also doesn't explain the much more positive respectful responses from males of other cultures. So male role-modelling is not the answer. Perhaps it has something to do with expectations.
In 2017 we have done a lot of work to raise children's expectations for themselves with regards to respect. A side effect of this has been the staff have had to be very very firm about expectations and remove some of the student choice. The loss of children's choice and voice, to some degree, was also reflected in the Wellbeing survey and we hope it will be a temporary measure while we continue to work to align the values of our whole school community.
Year 1-3 Safety Survey
Staff EEO survey
Maori Consultation
18 students are identified as Maori. Only 10 come up in our achievement data as the first ethnicity is the one recorded for achievement. All Maori families were contacted and given two possible times for a face to face consultation - an afternoon and an evening. Only one person was able to make it. That was a positive chat. So I sent out a form with the option of online feedback. One person gave feedback via the form:
Strategic planning is needed around our self review and reporting schedule. Our next strategy meeting could look at this in some detail.
September 2017
CONSULTATION: - Community - decided not to do a specific consultation at the end of this year, we did a big one last year and a mid year checkup. Do a good consultation at the end of 2018 to see how we're going with the charter goals.
Maori - Lorraine to contact Maori families for a face to face catchup.

text: Stosh 3445 Posted February 13, 2017 My bad.... Girl Guides were started by Lord Baden-Powell and his sister Agnes Baden-Powell because girls wanted into the program. Lord Baden-Powell's answer to that - have a separate program oriented for girls with the same goals as the boys. The WAGGGS still is single gender female after 100+ years as envisioned by BP, but the boy side caved and went co-ed. So where the female program has stayed loyal to it's heritage, the male program has not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"POWER" is the ability to do something and achieve goals. It can also mean having a strong command or influence to people or the environment around you. Power enables one to do great things and affect positive change. Having a strong personal power alone imbues the core of the soul to be resilient in times of challenges, bestowing one the ability to control his or her own destiny.
PERFECT FOR: People who want to strengthen their character or influence themselves and the people around them. It is good for leaders, mentors, bosses, and entrepreneurs who need power to lead the team towards success.
THE METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF BRASS. BRASS brings out the natural good and inner truth. It is believed to promote skin rejuvenation. It clears away old debris and allow the wearer to get down to the pure and natural truth. Since brass is composed of copper and zinc, brass boosts the immune system and promotes strength and courage. Repeated wearing of brass jewelry enables the jewelry to take on the owner's body chemistry and eventually reveal one's personal energy signature. Brass is associated with gold although it has a different energy attribute. Wear Brass for HEALING, MONEY, AND PROTECTION. Wear it together with wealth-enhancing crystals to maximize its "abundance magnet" properties. Brass, when inscribed with symbols, creates a shield of protection. Many believe that brass's defensive characteristics enable it to send the negative energy back to its sender. The healing properties of brass helps in healing and balancing the chakras.
Brass tarnishes and oxidizes over time. Although some prefer the look of tarnished brass, some want it polished. Here are some ways to clean and polish brass accessories:
- Commercial metal cleaners and polishes can also be effective for cleaning brass and are commonly available at most home centers and supermarkets.
- Start with hot, soapy water and a microfiber cleaning cloth: Go over all of the surfaces thoroughly with the cleaning cloth, using a clean toothbrush to get into any crevices. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly.
- For tougher cleaning jobs, pull out the ketchup, tomato sauce, or tomato paste. Simply rub a thin coat onto the brass, let sit for an hour or so, and then clean the piece with hot, soapy water.
- Another option is to make a paste of equal parts salt, flour, and white vinegar. Apply the paste to the brass and let sit for up to an hour. Rinse with warm water and buff dry.
- An alternative natural cleaning combination is salt and lemon. Cut a lemon in half and remove the seeds. Coat the cut half of the lemon with table salt and rub it over the surface of the brass, re-coating the lemon with salt as needed. Once you've covered the entire surface, buff to a shine with a clean, dry cloth. You can also make a paste using two parts cream of tartar powder to one part lemon juice—rub the paste on the brass, let sit for 30 minutes, rinse with warm water and buff.
